Central Baptist Church 1311 Oak Avenue Owner Represented by: Signed: R. D. Grieme • 1200 W. 20th St. 1 Board of Adjustment March 1, 1974 Page 2 • Mr. Grieme explained that the Central Baptist Church is requesting a variance of 10' in the side yard setback on the corner at 13th Street and 2.75' in the rear yard setback in order to construct a single story metal building to be used for recreation and storage. The reason they propose a metal building is that, if the need arises for more parking space for the church, a metal building could be moved to another location. Mr. Grieme felt that a metal building would be an improvement over what is there now. He had checked with the two abutting property owners and found that they had no objection to the proposed building. After consideration, Mr. Karns moved to grant a variance of 10' in the side yard setback requirements for corner lots in RC -1 District and a variance of 2.75' in the rear yard setback requirements at the location of 1300 Park Avenue. The motion was seconded by Mr. Philips and was carried by a unanimous vote of the board members. The following letter was next presented by Mr. Norman H. Schiff, for consideration. Board of Adjustment • City Hall Sanford, Florida Gentlemen: I am submitting the following information for your consideration in requesting variance in the Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to density controls in MR -2 Zoned District. MR -2 Paragraph 6- D- (2) -f -bb, one bedroom apartment - from minimum living area 700 sq.ft. to approximately 648 sq.ft. Legal description being the North 200 feet of the SW4 of SE4 East of U.S. Highway No. 17 -92 of Section 11, Township 20 South, Range 30 East, and the N2 of SE4 of SE4 of Section 11, Township 20 South, Range 30 East. The planned use of the property is multi - family rental garden apartments. Any consideration given this request will be appreciated. ROYAL LINE BUILDERS, INC. • Signed: Norman H. Schiff, President L Board of Adjustment March 1, 1974 Page 3 111 Mr. Schiff explained that Royal Line Builders, Inc. propose to construct a complex of multi - family rental garden apartments at the location on the east side of Highway 17 -92 using the same construction plans they had used in two other parts of the state. He explained that they plan about 50 of the units will be one - bedroom units with a living area of approximately 648 sq. ft.; and he was requesting a variance in the requirement for a minimum of 700 sq. ft. of living area density for these 50 units. It is noted that there was no one present to object to the granting of the variance. There was a general discussion among the board members with the conclusion that they were not sure the Board of Adjustment had the authority to grant such a variance; if they should grant a variance on the approximately 50 units, might it not be a defacto amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The consensus was that an opinion from the City Attorney was needed and also a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. On the motion of Mr. Julian, seconded by Mr. Karns and carried by a unanimous vote, the hearing was continued to a meeting at the call of the Chairman, to await the opinion of the City Attorney • as to whether granting of this variance is within the scope of the Board of Adjustment, or with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Commission; and to get some feedback from the Planning and Zoning Commission on the subject. Mr. Grieme was asked to submit a request to the Planning and Zoning Commission, asking them to review this request for the reduction in living area density in MR -2 District. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. G � uil,LO � h airman / Secretary / •
