Opposition Correspondence (from PLDRB meeting) 11. Resident Correspondence Background: This is a quasi-judicial item, please disclose any ex parte communication. This is a request to appeal a decision of the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) denying a request for a Variance to the side and rear setbacks for an accessory structure at 10 Collingdale Court. The minimum setbacks for this property are 6.5’ from the rear and 7.5’ from the sides. The applicant purchased the Subject Property on August 10, 2000. The property had been improved with a deck in the rear which extends to the rear and side property lines. The structure was approved through Flagler County in 1989 as a Wooden Deck (Deck). The Deck is currently in disrepair and a code enforcement case is in effect. The violation requires the property owner to Replace/Remove/Repair Damaged Dock. The Chief Building Official inspected the Deck and determined that a permit is required. The applicant applied for a permit to make the repairs. The permit was put on hold because the Deck does not conform to the required setbacks. The owner of 10 Collingdale Court applied for a variance (Application Number 5692) to repair Deck with the same size specifications as was originally constructed which does not meet the current Land Development Code setback requirements and is constructed to the 42 rear and side property lines. The request was heard by the PLDRB on March 20, 2024. The board denied the request for the variance by a seven (7) to zero (0) vote. The applicant filed an application to appeal the decision of the PLDR within thirty (30) calendar days of the rendering of the decision by the PLDRB, in compliance with the Land Development Code Section 2.16.02. The Subject Property is zoned Single Family Residential – 2 (SFR-2). Required setbacks are provided in the LDC Table 3-3: Residential Zoning Districts – Dimensional Standards:  Minimum Interior Side Setback – 7.5’  Minimum Rear Setback – 6.5’ Staff also finds the following Land Development Code regulations applicable to this request:  LDC Section 1.10.09. Nonconformities. Casual, temporary, or illegal uses...the use of accessory structures, shall not be sufficient to establish the existence of nonconforming use or create rights in the continuance of such use.  LDC Section 4.01.01.A. Location. Accessory structures...shall not be located in public drainage or utility easements or within the required building setbacks.  LDC Table 3-3 - The subject property is zoned SFR2 and the required minimum rear setback is 6.5’ and the interior side setbacks are 7.5’. LDC Section 2.12 regulates variances. Section 2.12.12.03 – Review Findings states that variance applications shall be reviewed based on the following: A. All variances. No application for a variance shall be approved unless the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board finds that the following standards are met, recognizing that the applicant bears the burden of proof. 1.
