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. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,
use, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, uses,
or buildings in the same zoning district; and
2. The special conditions and circumstances are not self-imposed and do not
result from the actions of the applicant; and
3. Literal interpretation of the provision of this LDC would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under
the terms of this LDC and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the
applicant; and
4. The variance is the minimum relief necessary that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land or building; and
5. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of this LDC and that such variance will not be injurious to the area
involved or otherwise detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare or
injurious to other property in the area.
43
Summary of Staff Findings:
Planning staff found that this request does not meet four (4) of the five (5) standards for
approval of a variance.
2.12.03.A.1. Special conditions and circumstances do not exist which are peculiar to the
land, use, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, uses, or
buildings in the same zoning district.
2.12.03.A.3. Literal interpretation of the provision of this LDC would not deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district
under the terms of this LDC and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the
applicant.
2.12.03.A.4. The variance is not the minimum relief necessary that will make possible
the reasonable use of the land or building.
2.12.03.A.5. The granting of the variance will not be in harmony with the general intent
and purpose of this LDC.
PLDRB Findings: The PLDRB found that the request did not meet the standards for variance
approval.

January 2024, City Council approved a nonexclusive easement agreement with Forestar

Forestar has declined the City’s easement. However, there is a Right of First refusal on this
property with Byrndog PCP, LLC. Byrndog PCP, LLC desires to exercise its Right of First
Refusal and purchase this property from the City of Palm Coast as to the same terms and
conditions offered to Forestar. Forestar and the City had desired to enter into a contract, in
the amount of $39,500, for the purchase and sale of this parcel.
Therefore, the City Council of the City of Palm Coast needs to consider designating Parcel
28-10-30-4290-00000-00B0 located west of U.S. 1, as surplus real property to enable the
sale of said property to Byrndog under the Right of First Refusal. There will be an
accompanying agenda item for Council’s consideration for the Purchase and Sale with
Forestar. In addition, this designation of surplus land is conditioned upon the withdrawal of
Byrndog’s lawsuit against the City, as styled Byrndog PCP LLC v. City of Palm Coast, filed in
the Seventh Judicial Circuit, In and For Flagler County, Florida, Case Number 2024-CA-
