| Laurence Bradley, AICP, Growth Management Director |
|
| | | | | | | | DATE:
| 12/3/2020 | RE:
| Request by Palladio Development, LLC, for a variance to allow the east side of a proposed single-family home to exceed the allowable finish floor elevation by a maximum of 2.2 feet, as established by Section 174.073(A)(3), Palm Bay Code of Ordinances (0.23 acres) (V-26-2020) (Quasi-Judicial Proceeding). |
|
| | | | | | | | Palladio Development, LLC, Giro Katsimbrakis, Manager (Katja Jones, Rep.) has asked for a variance from Section 174.073(A)(3) for a proposed single-family home to exceed the maximum finished floor elevation. The .23-acre property is located north of and adjacent to Aladdin Street NE, in the vicinity north of Browning Avenue NE. The applicant intends to construct a new home with a two-car garage and approximately 1,865 square feet of living area.
The applicant appears to be burdened by the existing elevation of an adjacent property and by the presence of a side lot line ditch. Denial of the variance may confer a hardship upon the applicant, and staff believes the request is a reasonable solution to these circumstances. Literal interpretation of Chapter 174 would require the applicant to construct a home that would be subject to possible flooding, and alternative construction methods to alleviate potential runoff from the adjacent lot to the west could prove costly.
REQUESTING DEPARTMENT:
Growth Management |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION: Motion to request City Council to determine, based on the facts presented, the degree of minimal relief, if any, to meet the needs of the variance request, as required by Section 169.009 of the City of Palm Bay Code of Ordinances.
|
| | | | | | | | Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation:
Unanimous approval of the request.
