City Council Agenda Form
City Council Meeting Date: 4/18/2017
Item No. 9
Subject: Variance No. 2017-01 includes: a variance to allow for a 25 foot setback rather than
the 50 feet required by Section 110-536(a)(2); and to allow for a 58.4 foot lot depth rather than
the 100 feet required by Section 110-336(2). The subject parcel is undeveloped and is located
on N. Atlantic Avenue(Attachment 1) - APPEAL
Department: Community Development
Summary: At its Regular Meeting held on March 2, 2017, the City's Board of Adjustment
(BOA) considered and approved Variance No. 2017-01, which authorized a 25 foot setback
rather than the 50 feet required by Section 110-536(a)(2); and to allow for a 58.4 foot lot depth
rather than the 100 feet required by Section 110-336(2).
Mr. Bernard Lennon who resides at 126 Oak Lane, filed an appeal to the Board's action on
March 12, 2017 (Attachment 2), alleging that "the applicant did not meet the requirements of
the city code to receive the variance. The Board of Adjustment miss applied the facts and did
not accurately interpret the legal requirements for a variance. There is no legal basis for a
variance in this situation." Mr. Lennon did not speak or offer any evidence at the March 12th
BOA meeting nor has he provided any evidence that he is a party aggrieved, or that he suffered
special damages peculiar to himself and differing in kind and degree from the community as a
whole.
As required by City Code Sec. 110-33, the City Council will consider the appeal in a de novo
setting and conduct a public hearing to review the Board of Adjustments record and take
evidence and testimony from interested parties. The Appellant,Mr. Lennon,has received notice
of the hearing so that he may present testimony and evidence for the subject appeal hearing. In
addition, notices were provided to the applicant and property owners within 500 feet of the
subject parcel. The City Council will make a final decision on Variance No. 2017-01.
As the appeal will be considered in a de novo setting, the following evidence and testimony is
introduced into the record:
• Attachment 3 of this report includes a copy of the Staff Report that was considered by
the Board of Adjustment at its March 2, 2017 meeting. Attachment 3 to the Staff Report
is an itemized response to the variance criteria established in Sec. 110-37 of the City
Code.
• Attachment 4 to this report includes the draft minutes of the March 2, 2017 BOA
meeting. Note that the BOA was instructed to focus on the criteria in Sec. 110-37 when
considering the variance.
• An item raised at the BOA meeting was the date that the lots were created in their current
configuration. This is important as it speaks to whether the hardship was self-created by
the Applicant. Staff indicated at the BOA hearing that the lots existed prior to the current
owner's purchase of the property in 2015. However, subsequent to the BOA hearing,
additional information became available regarding the existence of the lot. This issue
will be examined in detail later in this report.
City Council Meeting Date: 4/18/2017
Item No. 9
Page 2
• Public notice requirements established in Sec. 110-28 of the City Code were followed,
to include:
• Posting the affected property;
• Posting at City Hall and on the City's website;
• Mailed notice to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property; and
• Certified letter to the owner of the subject property.A certified letter was also sent
to the Appellant and the Applicant.
The notice requirements set forth above shall be publically noticed for at least 14
calendar days prior to the appeal hearing. Also, City Code deems these notice
requirements as courtesy notices. The failure to provide such notice shall not be a basis
of appealing the subject variance.
Additional Analysis:
As established in City Code Sec. 110-37,variance recommendations and final decisions shall be
based on an affirmative finding as to each of the following criteria(criteria shown in bold with
Staff's response indicated in italics):
1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are unique to the land,structure
or building involved and are not applicable to other lands,buildings or structures in the
same district.
The subject parcel is subject to a 50 foot setback requirement from N. Atlantic Avenue
pursuant to Sec. 110-536(a)(2). It is also subject to a 10 foot rear setback as required by Sec.
110-336(2). In addition, the subject parcel has a unique configuration. When these setbacks
are applied to the subject parcel, the useable area of the parcel(see Attachment S)is severely
restricted. The configuration of the parcel as well as its location relative to N.Atlantic Avenue
clearly create special circumstances applicable to this property.
2. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district
and would cause unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
The application of the 50 foot setback from N. Atlantic Avenue as well as the 10 foot rear
setback set forth in the City Code, reduces the remaining buildable area to a size that makes
the property virtually undevelopable (see Attachment 5).
3. That the special conditions and circumstances referred to in item(1) above do not result
from the actions of the applicant.
The applicant is in no way responsible for the current configuration of the subject parcel.
Based on information obtained after the BOA meeting, the subject parcel was originally part
of Lot A of Teutons Subdivision surveyed in July 1906. The subject parcel appears to have
been created when N. Atlantic Avenue was established across the northeast corner of Lot A.
N. Atlantic Avenue (previously A 1 A and SR 401) was in existence prior to the City's
City Council Meeting Date: 4/18/2017
Item No. 9
Page 3
incorporation as evidenced in the unrecorded plat Jewels Property Inc, dated 6/15/1956. As
such, the lot configuration was caused by the establishment of N. Atlantic Avenue and
established prior to the City being incorporated circa 1963. Further, as more fully explained
below, the special setback requirement from the N. Atlantic Avenue right-of-way was
originally established by the City pursuant to Ord. 11-1962 around the time the City was
incorporated. Therefore, the special conditions and circumstances surrounding this property
were not created by the applicant
4. That granting the Variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privileges that are denied by the ordinance to other lands, structures or building in the
same district.
Approval of the requested variance would not confer any special privileges on the applicant
that are not enjoyed by other properties or structures in the surrounding neighborhood. As
indicated above, the applicant proposes to construct a one-story commercial structure on the
subject parcel which is typical along N. Atlantic Avenue.
5. That the reasons set forth in the application justify the granting of the Variance, and
that the Variance,if granted, is the minimum that would make possible use of the land,
building or structure.
The applicant is proposing a modest-sized, one-story off ice building with a dimension not to
exceed 25' x 60' and proposing to locate the building in the southernmost portion of the
subject parcel which is the widest portion of the subject parcel(see Attachment 6). Therefore,
the 25 foot requested setback variance from N.Atlantic Avenue is the minimum variance that
would make it possible to utilize the property for commercial purposes under the C-1 district.
The variance is only for that portion of the subject parcel where the building is to be located,
not the entire 165 feet of frontage along N. Atlantic Avenue.
6. That the granting of the Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of the zoning code will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
This area of the City represents a secondary commercial corridor that includes a variety of
retail and office structures. The proposed modest office building does represent a
continuation of the development pattern along N. Atlantic Avenue. The property is zoned C-
1 which allows office uses by right. As a result, construction of the building, in conformity
with the City Code (buffers, etc.), would not be injurious to the neighborhood.
Additional Considerations:
At the time the BOA considered the subject variance, the property was owned by R. Foster
Enterprises, LLC and Royce Innovations, Inc. and was under contract by Pittner Real Estate
Corporation for the construction of a 1,500 square foot real estate office. After the BOA
City Council Meeting Date: 4/18/2017
Item No. 9
Page 4
approved the variance and prior to Bernie Lennon's appeal being submitted,the sale closed and
was acquired by Pittner.
The subject variance included two requests; one for a 25 foot setback rather than the 50 feet
required by Section 110-536(a)(2); and to allow for a 58.4 foot lot depth rather than the 100 feet
required by Section 110-336(2). However, as noted above the subject parcel was created before
the City became incorporated as a City, when N. Atlantic Avenue was established across Lot A
of Teutons Subdivision. The current owner is not requesting the creation of a non-conforming
lot. Based on this information, the City Attorney's Office has concluded that the variance
requested for the lot depth was not required. Therefore, the BOA prior decision granting a
variance for lot depth was not necessary and should be reversed by the City Council on that
basis.
As indicated above,the available records indicate that the subject parcel has existed in its current
configuration since at least 1956. This date is significant because in 1962 the City adopted the
First Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance(Ord. 11-1962)that included a 75-foot building setback
from the N. Atlantic right-of-way. A review of the City zoning codes since 1962 indicate that
the N. Atlantic Avenue setback standard have varied between 40 and 75 feet. This would
indicate that when the City adopted this setback in 1962, the subject parcel (which varies
between 53.4 and 76.5 feet wide)became unbuildable.
Circumstances surrounding this request for a variance raises significant legal concerns for the
City. If the property owner is not afforded some reasonable relief from the City Code setback
requirements, the property will be virtually undevelopable for commercial uses allowed in the
C-1 zoning district and commonly enjoyed by other commercial property owners along N.
Atlantic Avenue.

Board of Adjustment
Meeting Minutes
August 23, 2016
Mr. Dickey presented Staff's report/photos. Staff pointed out the area in question. The property
owner of 123 Oak Lane recently added a fence between the two properties. A survey by Walker
Land Surveying, Inc. was submitted for the original building permit. Subsequent to the issuance
of the building permit, there were suggestions by adjacent property owners that the submitted
survey was incorrect. The City requested documentation in support of this claim. The resident of
123 Oak Lane submitted a second survey around January 15, 2016, conducted by Riehl Reliable
Surveying and Mapping and it showed a conflict with the Walker survey. The conflict centered on
the location of the shared side property line between 123 and 127 Oak Lane. The two surveys
indicate a discrepancy of four feet. The Applicant recognized the discrepancy between the two
surveys, thus creating the need for a variance.
The Applicant is requesting a variance to the eastern side yard setback from the required eight (8)
feet to four(4) feet. The subject parcel contains a single-family house. The property is zoned C-1,
which must meet R-2 standards when developing in a residential manner.
The Board questioned the timeframe between producing the second survey by Riehl and Staff
indicated it was months. The Applicant was issued a building permit on October 6, 2015, for the
construction of a single-family residence relying on the survey by Walker Land Surveying,Inc., a
licensed surveyor in the state of Florida,which indicated compliance with City Code requirements
to include property lines, setbacks, location of improvements, etc. The permit application also
included a warranty deed with a legal description consistent with the survey and the Applicant was
able to start building.
The Applicant reported an attempt to purchase a 4-foot section of property from the owner of 123
Oak Lane had been unsuccessful. Therefore,the Applicant submitted a revised survey showing the
property line in question shifting 4 feet to the west of the original location. This is in accordance
with the Riehl survey and resulted in a 4-foot side yard setback to the house on 127 Oak Lane. For
this purpose, a variance of 4 feet from the required 8-foot setback is requested.
Sec. 110-37 of the City Code established certain criteria that must be evaluated when a Variance
Application is being considered. Most importantly, when conditions are peculiar to the property
and not the result of actions on the part of the Applicant.
Staff recommended approval of a 4-foot side yard setback to the required 8 feet to allow for a 4-
foot setback on the east side yard.
Discussion ensued to include timeframe between surveys and construction, trying to reach an
agreement and complying with rules pertaining to permit application.
The Board asked the Applicant to explain circumstances surrounding this request. He explained
he bought the property with a recorded deed and a survey that showed four (4) lots. The surveyor
used the deed and the title policy to survey the property. He built the first two houses and started
on the second two houses. While in the middle of setting the trusses for property located at 127

Meeting Minutes
August 23, 2016
Oak Lane, the property owner of 123 Oak Lane called him to indicate he felt the property
boundaries were incorrect.
The Applicant explained the reason that 123 Oak Lane had a survey done was due to an
"overlapping deed,"which makes both surveys correct. He decided to concede to the survey done
by Riehl to try to move the process along and construction stopped.
Mr. Raymond opened the meeting to the public at 7:15 p.m.
Mark James lives at 135 Oak Lane. He asked for clarification of recording deeds; Senior City
Attorney Kopp explained the City's responsibility was not to verify records recorded, but to take
into evidence documents and testimony presented to Board Members. Mr. James asked "why the
need for setbacks?" Staff explained the need to "separate" structures for public safety, as well as
for density purposes. Mr. James had concerns about certain restrictions imposed on the owner by
the change in setback requirements.
Alicia Spring lives at 126 Oak Lane. She felt the survey produced by the Applicant did not match
the surrounding properties. It was brought to the attention of the Applicant and the City at the
beginning of the process.
Don Haynes owns a three (3) acre parcel on the end of Oak Lane and felt the Applicant does have
a hardship, thus he is in favor of granting the Variance.
Tim Bratcher lives at 123 Oak Lane (property next door). He handed information to Board
Members, most of which was already in their packets, and gave his view of events to include how
he and his girlfriend came to occupy/own their property; stated the Applicant had built three (3)
additional homes on surrounding lots before starting on the fourth house (in question); spoke of
flooding issues;not being notified of the application for a Variance;dimensions he has taken using
a tape measure; Applicant offered to buy his property; inaccurate surveys; information provided
to Applicant and the City should have stopped the process and the surveyor should be held
responsible for the inaccurate survey. He spoke of the new fence recently built and concerns with
flooding.
The Applicant explained he could have stopped work if given additional,contradictory information
sooner, not three (3) months after the fact when he was completing the house. Mr. Branchard was
not the property owner when the process started. All other setbacks are correct.
Kathryn Seidel lives at 135 Oak Lane and had concerns of the inaccuracies of the information on
the deed and what effect this might have on her/other properties.
Mr. Raymond closed the meeting to public participation at 7:47 p.m.
Discussion ensued to include the conflict between surveys; discrepancy in setbacks; permitting in
correlation to when building started; civil issues vs the City's responsibility and trying to help
property owners come to some type of agreement.

August 23, 2016
Senior Attorney Kopp advised the Board to make a decision based on the application, information
presented and testimony. Other outstanding issues can go through a civil process. It was not the
responsibility of the Board to try to guide the participants to make an amicable resolution, only to
vote on granting/denying the Variance Application.
Motion by Mr. Elliot, seconded by Mr. Wassell to approve Staff's recommendation. Vote on the
motion carried unanimously.
3. Quasi-Judicial and/or Public Hearing: Consideration of Special Exception No. 2016-
03 to authorize an Automotive Service Station (Cumberland Farms) in the C-1 zoning
district,per City Code of Ordinances,Section 110-334(c)—Chris Ossa,P.E.,Applicant
- (8000 Astronaut Boulevard).
Mr. Dickey presented Staff's report/photos to show the following: two (2) entrances, location of
dumpsters on northeast corner of property, retention areas and location of convenience store on
the property. The application is for construction and operation of an automotive service station.
The proposed development consists of a 4,928 square-foot, retail convenience store that includes
six fueling islands (12 fueling pumps) under a detached canopy. The project includes 22 parking
spaces including one (1) handicapped space. A 325 square-foot outdoor seating area is proposed
adjacent to the southeast corner of the building. The project is located on a 1.42-acre parcel, which
has frontage on Astronaut Boulevard and North Atlantic Avenue.
Sec. 110-39 (c) of City Code establishes certain criteria that must be evaluated when a
recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Board to the Board of Adjustment is being
considered. The proposal meets these minimum standards.
With the adoption of Ordinance No. 11-2015,City Council established specific regulations dealing
with automotive service stations. A notable provision of the Ordinance was to allow new stations
in the M-1 zoning district only. However, the Ordinance also established that all existing service
stations that were lawfully permitted through the City's Special Exception process prior to
November 17, 2015, would be "grandfathered" if they met the following criteria:
• located on a single lot of at least one acre and;
• 275 feet of single street frontage.
The subject parcel/request meets these requirements.
The traffic study by McMahon Transportation Engineers & Planners dated March 17, 2016,
indicated the analyzed roadway segments will continue to operate at an acceptable level of service
with the proposed development.
On April 20, 2016, the City's Community Appearance Board granted a Level 1 approval for the
proposed development.

Item No. 3
Subject: Variance No. 2017-01 includes: a variance to allow for a 25 foot setback rather than
the 50 feet required by Section 110-536(a)(2); and to allow for a 58.4 foot lot depth rather than
the 100 feet required by Section 110-336(2). The subject parcel is undeveloped and is located
on N. Atlantic Avenue (Attachment 1).
Department: Community Development(CD)
Applicant: Debbie Lewis
Summary: The Applicant is requesting the afore-mentioned variances to allow for the subject
property to be developed with a 1,500 square foot real estate office building (see Attachment 2).
The property is accessed from N. Atlantic Avenue and is zoned C-1, which allows for the
proposed use.
Due to the configuration of the lot, application of the required setbacks severely limit the use of
the property for development purposes. Attachment 1 to this report indicates the buildable area
once the existing setbacks (50 ft. from N. Atlantic and 10 ft. from the rear) are considered. Note
that the special circumstances related to this parcel are not the result of the owner.
Sec. 110-37 of the City Code establishes certain criteria that must be evaluated when a variance
is being considered. For a detailed analysis of the requested variance's compliance with the
criteria, please see the attached Staff Analysis and Worksheet (Attachment 3).

Application & Worksheet
Variances are to be authorized where they are not contrary to the public interest and
where, due to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the terms of the Ordinance
would result in unnecessary hardship. The Ordinance sets forth specific conditions
which must all be demonstrated by the applicant before the Board empowered to grant
the Variance. If the applicant cannot satisfactorily address all of the following, this
should serve as a preliminary indication that the application may be rejected.
The conditions are as follows and items (A) through (F) must be answered in full. (City
Code Section 110-62).
A. That special conditions and circumstances exist, which are unique to the land,
structure or building involved and are not applicable to other lands, buildings or
structures in the same district.
See attached
B. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance would deprive
the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning
district and would put unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
See attached
C. That the special conditions and circumstances referred to in item (A) above do
not result from the actions of the applicant.
See attached

VARIANCE
Application & Worksheet — Cont'd
D. That granting the Variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privileges that are denied by the Ordinance to other lands, structures or building
in the same district.
See attached
E. That the reasons set forth in the application justify the granting of the Variance,
and that the Variance, if granted, is the minimum that would make possible use
of the land, building or structure.
See attached
F. That the granting of the Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of the Zoning Code and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
See attached
While these conditions may seem unduly harsh and stringent to the individual applicant,
it must be remembered that the Zoning Ordinance was enacted for the benefit of the
community as a whole and requires an organized and controlled pattern of the
community's development.
It should be noted that the difficulties or hardships relied upon must be unique to that
particular property (e.g. peculiar lot shape) not general in character, since difficulties or
hardships shared with others in the area go to the reasonableness of the zoning
generally, and will not support a Variance. If the hardship is one that is common to that
area, the remedy is to seek a change of the zoning classification for the neighborhood.

APPLICATION &WORKSHEET-VARIANCE FOR:TAX ID#2429664
Note: Post Office has not provided an address for this Lot
Responses to questions:
A. That special conditions and circumstances exist, which are unique to the land, structure or building involved
or not applicable to other lands, buildings or structures in the same district.
The applicant's land has a preexisting condition,and has been in this configuration for more than 40 years.
The odd dimensions of this non-conforming lot ultimately do not conform to the requirements of the current Code;
Section 110.336.The applicants property is unique in that the non conformity of the lot dimension is not something
that can be changed, and it is a condition that predates the current Code. The preexisting condition is a hardship
on the applicant and the applicant is not responsible for the non conforming lot dimensions.
B. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district and would put unnecessary and undue
hardship on the applicant.
The Zoning Code currently requires that the lot size be a minimum of 5000 square feet with dimensions of
50' wide by 100' deep. The applicant's lot is more than double the required size with approx 11,000 sq ft and has
the opposite configuration with more than 100' in width and more than 50' in depth. The applicant's lot is 165.59'
wide on the east side, 76.52' deep on the south side, 165' wide on the west lot line, and 58.40' on the north lot line.
The preexisting condition is a hardship on the applicant and the applicant is not responsible for the non conforming
lot dimensions.
C. That the special conditions and circumstances referred to in item (A) above do not result from the actions of
the applicant.
The odd non conforming lot dimensions are peculiar to the land and does not result from any action of the
applicant.This vacant lot has never been built on. Applicant's new construction plans are minimal.Applicant's
plan is for a small footprint of just 25'x 60' for a total of 1500 sq ft to construct a new professional office which
will improve the appearance and community of Cape Canaveral.
D. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privileges that are denied
by the ordinance to other lands, structures or building in the same district.
Granting the Variance to the applicant will offer no special benefit. It will grant him only those rights that
other property owners within the same zoning area already enjoy.
E. That the reasons set forth in the application justify the granting of the variance and that the variance, if granted,
is the minimum that would make possible use of the land, building or structure.
The variances that the applicant seeks are minimal in all significant respects and will not be noticeable.
Without the variance,the applicant will not be able to properly utilize his property in a manner benefiting of market
requirements. And, as the property is currently non conforming in both lot dimensions and building set back, the
variances will make possible the lawful use of the land.
F. That the granting of the Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the zoning code
and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
The granting of the variances will be in harmony with the Zoning Code as the applicant seeks only to improve
a currently permitted use of the property. More so than that, granting the variances will enhance and continue the
promotion for the revitalization and redevelopment of the area in keeping with the goals of the City of Cape
Canaveral's Comprehensive Plan and Community Redevelopment Plan.

Variance Worksheet
Variance #2017-01
Variance means the relaxation of the terms of Chapter 110 when such variance will not be contrary
to the public interest and when, conditions are peculiar to the property and not the result of the
actions of the applicant, and a literal enforcement of the code would result in unnecessary and
undue hardship.
All variance recommendations and final decisions shall be based on an affirmative finding as to
each of the following criteria:
1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are unique to the land,
structure or building involved and are not applicable to other lands, buildings or
structures in the same district.
The subject parcel is configured is such a manner that the application of minimum setback
standards required in the C-1 district (for properties adjacent to N. Atlantic Avenue)
severely restrict the useable area of the parcel. The majority of parcels in the district are
not subject to these conditions and can meet required setbacks.
2. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance would deprive
the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning
district and would cause unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
Due to the circumstances described in the paragraph above, should required setbacks be
applied to the subject property, the remaining buildable area would render the parcel
unusable. Measuring from the midpoint of the lot along N. Atlantic Avenue, if the 50 foot
setback from the N. Atlantic right-of-way were to be applied along with the 10 foot rear
setback,there would remain a 5 foot deep buildable area. Other similarly zoned properties
in the district do not face this circumstance.
3. That the special conditions and circumstances referred to in item (1) above do not
result from the actions of the applicant.
The applicant is in no way responsible for the current configuration of the subject parcel.

Variance Worksheet — Cont'd
Variance No. 2017-01
4. That granting the Variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privileges that are denied by the ordinance to other lands, structures or building in
the same district.
Approval of the requested variances would not confer any special privileges on the
applicant that are not enjoyed by other properties or structures in the surrounding
neighborhood. As indicated above, the applicant proposes to construct a commercial
structure on the subject parcel which is typical along N. Atlantic Avenue.
5. That the reasons set forth in the application justify the granting of the Variance,and
that the Variance, if granted, is the minimum that would make possible use of the
land, building or structure.
The applicant has provided relevant information that does speak to the requisite criteria.
The requested variance is the minimum that would accommodate the proposed building
and related improvements.
6. That the granting of the Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of the zoning code will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
This area of the City represents a secondary commercial corridor that includes a variety of
retail and office structures. The proposed real estate office does represent a continuation of
the development pattern along N. Atlantic Avenue. The property is zoned C-1 which allows
office uses by right. As a result, construction of the structure, in conformity with the City
Code (buffers, etc.), would not be injurious to the neighborhood.

3. Quasi-Judicial and/or Public Hearing: Motion Re: Variance Requests No. 17-01 Parcel
ID# 24371428*A — Debbie Lewis — Applicant, has requested a Variance approval as
follows:
1) To allow for a 25 foot front yard setback from the N.Atlantic Avenue right-of-way
rather than the 50 feet required by Section 110-536(a)(2), City Code; and
2) To allow for a 58.4 foot lot depth rather than the 100 feet required by Section 110-
336(2), City Code.
Property Legal Description: Parcel ID#24371428*A(vacant parcel immediately north of
8804 N.Atlantic Avenue), Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920.
Mr. Dickey presented Staff's report/photos. He pointed out the property in question,which has an
odd configuration and does not meet the minimum depth standard. He read the six (6) criteria and
Staffs response to each of the six(6) criteria for the proposed Variance. Property is zoned Cl and
the use of a real estate office is permitted.
Staff recommended approval of the requested 25-foot front yard setback and a 41.6 variance to the
required 100-foot lot depth standard.
Discussion ensued to include date lot was established and additional surrounding C1 zoned
properties.
Assistant City Attorney Nix swore in audience members wishing to speak.
Debbie Lewis represented the applicant/owner and explained the proposal of a 1500 s.f.real estate
(Key West style) office, no noise/smell, low traffic/impact; small number of employees and felt
the building will enhance the area. She explained there is a hardship and the owner has a right to
"reasonable use" of the property.
Discussion ensued to include when property was acquired; possibility of introducing commercial
uses into the surrounding neighborhood; intent of adjoining property development; doing what is
best for the community; surrounding properties are zoned commercial, but are used as residential
and possibly adjusting lot configuration to help meet setbacks.
Mr. Eilau opened the meeting to the public at 6:33 p.m.
Audience members voiced their concerns; six (6) residents were against and two (2) were for the
Request.
Mr. Eilau closed the meeting to the public at 7:02 p.m.

Board of Adjustment
Meeting Minutes
March 2, 2017
Discussion continued with Mr. Tichich reading comments he prepared regarding protecting and
enhancing quality of life; configuration of lot is too narrow and irregular for 1500 s.f. building;
parking may require removal of current landscaping; never allow construction of the property;
utilize other vacant properties in the City and possibility of business failing, thus creating another
vacant building.
Board requested Staff to address Variance criteria, again, for guidance.
Assistant City Attorney Nix read the Section of the Code, which Board Members need to apply
when making a decision based on the criteria.
Mr. Dickey, again, explained the criteria when making a decision on a Variance Request. He
stressed the conditions peculiar to property is not the result of actions of the Applicant.
Enforcement of the Code would result in unnecessary and undue hardship. Board questioned
whether the owner of the property created the peculiar conditions. Mr. Dickey stated the owner
purchased the property as four (4) lots in 2015, the same as they stand today. Assistant City
Attorney Nix indicated the parcel in question is one separate lot per the Warranty Deed.Mr.Dickey
stated, again, the Applicant has not reconfigured the lot. Currently, this is not a buildable lot due
to the required setbacks.
Discussion ensued to include concerns over access being closer to road; approval could be
injurious to Community;positive aspects to include additional jobs;strictly applying six (6) criteria
provided per Code; visibility triangle; best use of property; keeping as greenspace; adding
conditions to include removal/replacement of trees and parking requirements.
Board asked for guidance if placing conditions on the Variance. Mr. Dickey suggested not placing
any conditions.
Board Members asked for definition of "taking." Staff explained this is a process when local
government, due to its regulations, takes the use of an individual's property away. Litigation could
ensue if City Code is not (strictly) applied.
Motion by Mr. Wassell, seconded by Mr. Elliott to recommend approval for a Variance to allow
for a 25-foot front yard setback rather than the 50 feet required by Section 110-536(a)(2); and to
allow for a 58.4-foot lot depth rather than the 100 feet required by Section 110-336(2). Vote on
the motion as follows: Mr. Raymond, For; Mr. Sweetman, For; Mr. Wassell, For; Mr. Elliott, For;
Mr. Tichich, Against; Mr. Eilau, Against. Vote on the motion carried.
REPORTS AND OPEN DISCUSSION:
Discussion ensued to include Staff giving guidance to Board Members when "conditions" are
placed on a recommendation to approve a request; making sure Applicant adheres to the
"conditions" recommended; enforcement; roles Staff and City Attorney's Office play in the
process and types of conditions that can be recommended.
