HEX Final Decision 2015-35 HEX NO. 2015—35
HEARING EXAMINER DECISION
PETITION NO. VA-PL20150000735 — Michael and Wendy Thomas request a variance
from Section 4.5(h) of the Sleepy Hollow PUD, Ordinance No. 88-25, as amended, to reduce
the minimum rear yard accessory structure setback line from 10 feet to 6.11 feet to allow
for an existing pool screen cage enclosure and a proposed patio screen enclosure expansion
that encroach 3.89 feet into the rear setback on property located at Lot 167, The Crossings,
Mills Run in Section 2, Township 49 South, Range 25 East, Collier County, Florida.
DATE OF HEARING: September 10, 2015.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
FINDINGS:
Based on the applicant's written petition, testimony at the hearing of the applicant and the
recommendation of staff, the Hearing Examiner finds that each of the criteria set forth in Section
9.04.03 of the Land Development Code has been met and the petition is approved.
ANALYSIS:
The applicant provided letters of support from the neighborhood Community Association and an
adjacent neighbor. This request involves an encroachment upon an existing 10 foot public utility
easement; the applicant provided letters of no objection from the applicable utilities.
This request is two-fold: first, to establish that the existing original pool cage would be allowed
to be rebuilt in its previously approved location within the rear setback; and second, to allow the
proposed expansion of the pool cage to continue uniformly across the rear of the principle
structure within the rear setback. The pool cage expansion will not encroach further into the
easement than the existing pool cage. The entire length of the rear yard abuts an existing
conservation easement. The existing conservation easement provides a mitigating element to
this request and further supports the applicant's contention that there are no negative view
impacts to adjoining properties.
The planned unit development (PUD) document governing this property, Ordinance 88-25, the
Sleepy Hollow PUD, allows principle structures under certain criteria to attain a zero foot rear
yard setback, yet accessory structures are required to have a ten foot rear yard setback regardless
of the circumstances. This request allows a closer alignment between the required setback
standards and that which is needed to accommodate the replacement pool cage.
