THE GARAGE IS EXISTING. THE ADU ON TOP OF IT IS NOT. NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS JUST THE NOTIFICATION OF THE MAILERS THAT THAT WE SENT OUT. AS REQUIRED. ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK THAT'S IT. THANK YOU SIR.

[IV.3. P2024V-002-11]
HEAR THE NEXT CASE? YES, MADAM CHAIR, IN REFERENCE TO ITEM NUMBER TWO UNDER NEW BUSINESS CASE NUMBER P2024V-002-11. THE APPLICANT, RICHARD WINFREY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2627 BEN HILL AVENUE. APPLICANT IS SEEKING A VARIANCE FROM THE CURRENT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS IN SECTION TEN DASH 2061 E TO MATCH THE CURRENT FOOTPRINT OF SURROUNDING HOMES. CASE TYPE IS A VARIANCE. THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW HAVE A MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE NUMBER.[00:30:09]
P2024V-002. DASH 11. MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND. SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I. I OPPOSES MOTION TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON 2P2024V-002. DASH 11. IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? YES. YOU MAY COME FORWARD. NAME AND ADDRESS, PLEASE. YES. PRESENTATION. RICHARD WINFREY. OKAY. 2627 INDIO. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION? YES.YOU MAY PRESENT. OKAY. IT'S LOCATED IN AN ESTABLISHED NEIGHBORHOOD OFF OF WASHINGTON ROAD. THE PROPERTIES ON THAT PARTICULAR STREET, THEY ARE ACTUALLY RANCH HOMES AND OR SPLIT LEVEL HOMES THAT WERE TRADITIONALLY BRICK. YOU HAD SOME HOMES WITH SIDING. THE ZONING CURRENTLY THOSE HOMES WERE BUILT YEARS AND YEARS AGO. AND THE CURRENT ZONING IN THIS PARTICULAR LOT, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT IT, THE LOT HAS AN ODD SHAPE TO IT. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CURRENT ZONING REQUIREMENTS FOR SETBACKS FRONT AND BACK, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO BUILD ANYTHING THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE CURRENT HOMES THAT ARE THERE. AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE IS AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY. THERE WAS AN EXISTING RANCH HOME ON THAT PROPERTY AT ONE POINT. THAT WAS DEMOLISHED. TRYING TO PLACE A HOME ON THAT LOT. WITH THE CURRENT SETBACKS PUT US IN A SITUATION WHERE THE HOME WOULD TECHNICALLY, WELL, BASICALLY LOOK OUT OF PLACE. WITH THE EXISTING HOMES. SO ONCE WE STARTED TO DO OUR SURVEY TO MAKE SURE SQUARE FOOTAGE WISE AND ESTHETICS, WE SAW THAT THIS PARTICULAR REQUEST FOR VARIANCE WOULD PUT THE HOME IN A SITUATION THAT WILL KEEP IT CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE NEIGHBORS. THE ADVANTAGE OF THIS LOT, WITH IT BEING AN ODD SHAPE. ALSO ALLOWS FOR THERE TO BE PLENTY OF ROOM ON THE SIDE SETBACKS. SO THERE WOULD BE MINIMUM INTERFERENCE WITH THE NEIGHBORS ON THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT OF THE PROPERTY. THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO GET A VARIANCE ON ARE FRONT TO BACK. AND IT WILL ALLOW FOR US TO PUT A STRUCTURE THAT IS CONSISTENT ALSO WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE EXISTING NEIGHBORS AROUND 1600 SQUARE FEET. WE WILL HAVE TO GO UP TWO STORIES TO MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS, BUT WE WOULD ALSO HAVE A STRUCTURE THAT IS SHAPED MORE SIMILARLY TO THE HOUSES THAT ARE EXISTING. WE ALSO PROVIDED A PICTURE TO GO BACK. TO THE FOLDER. THE SECOND ONE. SO WHAT WE ARE LOOKING TO DO IS NOT HAVE TO BUILD SOMETHING WITH THE ORIGINAL SETBACKS THAT ARE REQUIRED AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME. WE WOULD HAVE TO BUILD SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THE HOUSE ON THE LEFT, WHICH DOES NOT AT ALL MATCH THE STREETSCAPE OF WHAT'S EXISTING. WE ALSO HAVE IN OUR PLAN TO DO SOME BRICK FRONT TO ALSO BRING
[00:35:09]
THAT STRUCTURE INTO COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT WE SEE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT PICTURE. YEAH. THIS IS A PICTURE GOING FURTHER DOWN THE STREET ON BEN HILL. THE STRUCTURE THAT WE'RE LOOKING TO BUILD WOULD LOOK SIMILAR TO THE FIRST STRUCTURE YOU SEE ON THE LEFT. THAT IS A SPLIT LEVEL. WE WILL GO UP TWO STORIES, BUT IT WILL HAVE SOME MATCHING TO THAT PARTICULAR STRUCTURE, WHICH IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURES THAT WAS PLACED IN THAT SUBDIVISION. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. THAT ENDS YOUR PRESENTATION. YES. OKAY.COMMISSIONERS, YOU HAVE HEARD THE PRESENTATION. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? YES.
MISTER COMMISSIONER FIELDS. THANK YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES OF THE LOT THAT YOU PLAN TO BUILD ON AND WHERE IT'S AT? AND THE LOT ON BEN HILL. WE DO HAVE A FEW.
YEAH, YOU CAN. YOU CAN SEE IT THERE. IF YOU'RE COMING OFF WASHINGTON ROAD, THERE'S A SIDE STREET THAT LEADS TO BEN HILL. THE LOT IS CURRENTLY IT HAS A EXISTING DRIVEWAY THAT WAS GOING INTO THE GARAGE OF THE STRUCTURE THAT USED TO BE THERE. THE HOUSE HAS BEEN TOTALLY DEMOLISHED AND REMOVED. THERE IS A HOUSE ON THE CORNER TO THE LEFT. AND I SHOWED YOU THE STREET VIEW GOING DOWN OF THE HOUSES ARE BASED ON. THE SETBACKS REQUESTED. WHAT'S THE. WHAT IS THE LEGAL SETBACK NOW ON THAT? THE CURRENT SETBACK WOULD BE 50 FROM THE FRONT. YES. AND WE'RE LOOKING TO TAKE IT BACK.
15FT. 15FT? YES. OKAY. OH. IT'S 40. IT'S ACTUALLY 45. I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT IT WAS 50. SO? SO IF YOU BUILD IT THE WAY THE ORDINANCE CALLED FOR, IT WOULD BE ONLY 45FT SETBACK. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES. THE BUILDABLE AREA WOULD ACTUALLY BE BETWEEN 10 AND 15FT. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO EXTEND. NO, THAT THAT'S WHAT THE BUILDABLE AREA WOULD BE BASED ON THE CURRENT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR THAT HOME. BECAUSE IT HAS THE ODD SHAPE. WE HAVE TO TAKE THE MEASUREMENTS STRAIGHT. BUT THE WAY THE LOT IS, IS CURVED BECAUSE OF THE PROPERTY'S KIND OF IN A CURVED THE WAY THAT LOT IS CURVED. RIGHT. THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS, IF IT'S DRAWN PROPERLY IT MINIMIZED IT TO THE 15FT. ALL RIGHT. SO YOU HAVE A BUILDABLE SPACE MEANING FRONT TO BACK FOR THE HOUSE. SO THE ORIGINAL SETBACK IS 50. BUT THE WAY THE WAY THE STRUCTURE IS OR THE WAY THE LOT IS SHAPED AND YOU BUILD A HOUSE YOU NEED YOU NEED A I'M SORRY. YOU NEED A VARIANCE OF 15FT IN THE FRONT. YES. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER FILDES. IS THERE ANOTHER QUESTION? I'LL JUST POINT OUT I'VE GOT IT UP ON GOOGLE MAPS ON THE SATELLITE VIEW. ONE VIEW IN GOOGLE MAPS SHOWS THE HOUSE COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED, WHICH I'M SURE IS THE CASE. BUT IF YOU ACTUALLY GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE HOUSE FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE, I GUESS GOOGLE MAPS HAS AN UPDATED THEIR SATELLITE. SO IT DOES SHOW THE PREEXISTING STRUCTURE, AND IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE WAY THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT. THEY DUE TO THE LOT SIZE, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY DID HAVE TO BUILD THE HOUSE. CLOSER TO THE STREET WITH A LESSER SETBACK. AND THAT'S JUST ACCORDING TO THE WAY THAT THE PREVIOUS STRUCTURE LOOKS. SO I JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT.
OKAY. OKAY. OTHER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS? IS THERE A GOOGLE ON YOUR COMPUTER SO THEY CAN SEE WHAT SHE'S SEEING. OKAY. THANK.
[00:40:19]
YOU. IS THAT WHAT YOU HAD? YEAH. AND IF YOU TAKE YOUR CURSOR. YEAH. AND GO TO THE RIGHT OF IT.GO. KEEP GOING. NOW YOU'LL SEE THE STRUCTURE. THAT IS THE SIDE VIEW RIGHT NOW. THAT'S THE FRONT COMING OFF THE FRONT COMING OFF THE STREET. THAT'S THE FRONT VIEW. YES. IT'S BOARDED UP.
LOOKING AT THE. THE VIEW. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? I HAVE ONE. I DO HERE. I HAVE ONE FROM COMMISSIONER ANDERSON. JUST TO BE CLEAR, YOU ALSO NEED A REAR VARIANCE AS WELL, CORRECT? OKAY. YES. AND HOW MUCH IS THAT ONE? THAT WAS TEN. TEN FEET. YES.
OKAY. THANK YOU. YES. AND FROM STAFF, CAN YOU GIVE US THE FRONT AND REAR SETBACKS THAT WE'RE HAVING TO COMPARE? THANK YOU. OKAY. OH. THANK YOU. BRITTANY. MISS, WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO US? SO, CURRENTLY IN THE R1 ZONE, THE FRONT YARD SETBACK IS 45FT AND THE REAR IS 30. SO HE'S ASKING FOR 15 RELIEF IN THE FRONT AND TEN RELIEF IN THE BACK. OKAY, SO I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED. BUT IN THE ORIGINAL THE ORIGINAL HOUSE, WHAT WAS THE SETBACK? IF THE HOUSE IS NO LONGER THERE BASED ON THE DRIVEWAY? WHAT WE TRIED TO DO WAS MATCH UP THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY IS THERE. SO WE TRIED TO MATCH UP A STRUCTURE THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PREVIOUS HOUSE. SO WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO WAS TO ALSO PLACE A GARAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT CARS WEREN'T IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE TO TURN. AND. NOT BE THE EYESORE OR BE TWO CARS THAT WERE NOT ABLE TO FIT IN THE DRIVEWAY PROPERLY. AS THEY PROBABLY WEREN'T ABLE TO DO THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE, DID HAVE A CARPORT. WE DID. WE WERE ABLE TO LOCATE THAT IN THE RECORDS.
THE PREVIOUS RECORDS. SO IN DOING THAT, AGAIN WITH THE ODD SHAPE, IT GAVE VERY LITTLE ROOM FOR A BACKYARD. THAT'S THE REASON WE REQUESTED THE BACK VARIANCE TO ALLOW SPACE FOR THE BACKYARD. AND THEN ALSO WITH THERE BEING A PLENTY OF SPACE ON THE SIDES, WE LOOKED AT THE STRUCTURE TO HAVE A DECK ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE INSTEAD OF THE BACK, SO THAT IT WAS EXISTING, OR THERE IS BACKYARD ONCE THE HOUSE IS BUILT. SO WE MAXIMIZED THE SIDE SPACE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BUT STILL NOT BEING AT ALL CLOSE TO THE NEIGHBORS ON THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMISSIONERS? BECAUSE I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. OKAY. AND THAT IS THE PRICE POINT ON THIS HOUSE AS COMPARED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD PRICE POINT. IT IS VERY CONSISTENT. WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT IS WE ALWAYS TRY TO BUILD SOMETHING THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BECAUSE WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T SELL IT IF WE CAME IN WITH A PROPERTY THAT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S THERE. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE WELL, IN ADDITION TO MAKING SURE THAT WE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF PLANNING THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, THE SIMILARITIES IN THE ESTHETICS, EVERYTHING THAT IS REQUIRED TO MATCH OR
[00:45:02]
AVERAGE, WE DID EVERYTHING WITHIN THAT PRICING. PUTTING A HOUSE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS MUCH LOWER IS NOT GOOD FOR THE NEIGHBORS, NOR GOOD FOR THE PERSON TRYING TO SELL IT. THANK YOU. SO THE MATERIALS THAT YOU ARE USING ARE JUST ONLY GOING TO COMPLEMENT WHAT'S WHAT'S ALREADY THERE. IT WON'T BE TOTAL BRICK BECAUSE I'M LOOKING AT SOME OF THE HOUSES, THE HOUSES THAT ARE THERE. THEY ARE. BRICK LAYERED BRICK HOMES. AND THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO. IS THAT RIGHT? NOT TOTAL BRICK. NO. IT'S JUST IT'S NOT FEASIBLE IN THIS MARKET. SO TO ACTUALLY KEEP THE PRICE IN LINE. CAN YOU DESCRIBE OR SHOW US WHAT'S BRICK AND WHAT'S WHAT THE OTHER MATERIAL IS. SO IT'LL BE A BRICK WATER TABLE SIMILAR TO THE HOUSE THAT WAS THERE. IT WILL HAVE A BRICK WATER TABLE AND SIDING UP AT THE TOP LEVEL. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMISSIONERS? HEARING NONE. YES. YES. I'M SORRY. GO AHEAD. DO YOU HAVE ANY ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS? PRESENTATIONS OF WHICH? NONE. YES. IF YOU GO BACK TO THE PACKAGE. I CAN TURN IT.THEN GO DOWN. I THINK. YES. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND WHERE THE BRICK IS AND WHERE THE. SO THE BRICK. EXCUSE ME? THE BRICK WATER TABLE IS WHAT YOU SEE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP LEFT PICTURE THAT COMES ACROSS THE FRONT. THE LOWER LEVEL, THAT'S A DIFFERENT COLOR THAN THAT TOP LEVEL. THAT'S CONSIDERED A BRICK WATER TABLE. AND THEN THE TOP PORTION IS LAP SIDING. THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE SIDING THAT IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
COMMISSIONER FEELS THAT THAT COMPLETE. DID THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? ARE YOU STILL STUDYING THE DRAWINGS? I WAS, I WAS I'M SORRY. I WAS STILL STUDYING THE DRAWING. IS THIS GOING TO BE A TWO STORY HOUSE? YES. SIR. WELL, MY QUESTION WAS, IS THIS GOING TO BE A PRIMARY RESIDENCE FOR YOU, OR ARE YOU BUILDING IT FOR SALE? NO, IT'S BEING BUILT FOR SALE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NOW WE CAN CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON. YOU. HAVE YOU FINISHED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION? YES. THANK YOU. AND YOU MAY TURN YOUR MIC OFF. IS THERE ANYONE HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE PROJECT? IS THERE ANYONE? YOU MAY COME DOWN AND SPEAK? YES. ANYONE IN FAVOR? YOU MAY COME DOWN AND SPEAK. OR ANYONE IN OPPOSITION. YOU MAY COME DOWN AND SPEAK.
