SUMMARY

The proposed variance would allow for a deviation in the required minimum yard setback along the

south side of the subject property. The side setback requirement for the ESA-2 Zone District is 25 feet.

Lots within the Three Rivers Estates are typically very narrow and cannot accommodate side setbacks

of 25 feet. The existing legal nonconforming single family dwelling is approximately twelve (12) feet

from the south property boundary. On March 20, 2014, a permit was issued by the Columbia County

Building and Zoning Department for a deck. A portion of the permitted deck was allowed to be built

within the 25 foot setback on the south side; however, only up to the existing south side of the existing

single family dwelling. Further, there is existing mechanical equipment (air conditioner) that is located

within the required setback. The applicant is requesting a retroactive variance for the legal

nonconforming single family residence, the deck that was permitted by the Building and Zoning

Department, and the existing mechanical equipment. The variance would allow for a twelve (12) side

setback on the south side of the subject property for all structures and a six (6) foot side setback on the

south side for the existing mechanical equipment. The subject property currently contains one single

family residence.

Map 1. Proposed Official Zoning Atlas with Subject Property

The Environmentally Sensitive Area ("ESA") Zone District is described as follows in Section 4.4.1 of the Land Development Regulations (“LDRs”):

“The "ESA" environmentally sensitive area category includes three zone districts: ESA-1, 2, 3. Lands in

these districts are considered in need of special planning and treatment regarding land development

regulation. These are not preservation districts, but land uses permitted within these districts are to

provide mitigating measures to protect the natural functions of areas which are limited to the planning

and treatment of land development within the 100-year floodplain of the Ichetucknee Springs State Park,

Page 2 of 11

O'Leno State Park, Osceola National Forest, Pinhook Swamp, Suwannee River Corridor, Santa Fe River

Corridor and Ichetucknee Trace, as designated within the Federal Emergency Management [Agency] flood

insurance rate map for the county, as amended. These regulations prohibit intensive residential, intensive

recreational and intensive agricultural uses and prohibit industrial and commercial development within

the 100-year floodplain of the areas designated as environmentally sensitive areas.”

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS ANALYSIS

Wetlands

According to Illustration A-VI of the Comprehensive Plan, entitled Wetlands Areas, which is based upon

the National Wetlands Inventory, dated 1987, and the National Wetlands Reconnaissance Survey, dated

1981, there are no wetlands located on the subject property.

Evaluation: Even though the National Wetland Inventory does not indicate any wetlands on the subject

property, the subject property is located along the Santa Fe River and could potentially have wetlands

located on the subject property; however, the Land Development Regulations has buffer requirements

from all wetland areas. Give the preceding information, there are no issues related to wetland protection.

Map 4. Wetlands Map

Soil Survey

Each soil type found on the subject property is identified below. The hydrologic soil group is an indicator

of potential soil limitations. The hydrologic soil group, as defined for each specific soil, refers to a group

of soils which have been categorized according to their runoff-producing characteristics. These

hydrologic groups are defined by the Soil Survey of Columbia County, Florida, dated October 1984. The

chief consideration with respect to runoff potential is the capacity of each soil to permit infiltration (the

slope and kind of plant cover are not considered, but are separate factors in predicting runoff). There are

four hydrologic groups: A, B, C, and D. “Group A” soils have a higher infiltration rate when thoroughly wet

and therefore have a lower runoff potential. “Group D” soils have very lower infiltration rates and

therefore a higher runoff potential.

There is one (1) soil type found on the subject property:

1) Chiefland-Pedro Variant Complex, occasionally flooded soils are comprised of nearly level to sloping

soils that are within 3 miles of rivers and creeks interspersed with numerous sinkholes. The

Chiefland-Pedro Variant soil complex is comprised of 41 percent Chiefland soils and 39 percent Pedro

Variant soils. These soils are in areas so small or so intermingled that it was not practical to map

them separately. Chiefland-Pedro Variant complex have severe limitations for building site

development and for septic tank absorption fields.

Page 6 of 11

Page 8: COLUMBIA COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT July 23, 2015 …€¦ · Panel 0467C of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Series, dated February

Evaluation: The soil type on the subject property is Chiefland-Pedro Variant Complex. Chiefland-Pedro

Variant Complex poses severe limitations for septic tank absorption fields and building site development.

Given the site is already developed, there are no issues related to soil suitability.

Map 5. Soils Map

Flood Potential

Panel 0467C of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)

Series, dated February 4, 2009, indicates that the subject property is in Flood Zone "AE" (areas where a

base flood elevation is determined) and has a Base Flood Elevation of 34 feet.

Evaluation: Even though the subject property is located in Flood Zone "AE", the structure exists and is

elevated; therefore, there is no concern of flood on the subject property.

Map 6. FEMA FIRM Map (Flood Map)

Stream to Sink

According to the Stream to Sink Watersheds, prepared by the Suwannee River Water Management District

and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, dated June 2, 2001, the subject property is not located

within a stream to sink area.

Evaluation: Given the subject property is not located in a Stream to Sink Watershed, there is no concern

related to Stream to Sink Watersheds.

Minerals

According to Illustration A-VII of the Comprehensive Plan, entitled Minerals, which is based upon Natural

Resources, prepared by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, 2012, the subject property

is within an area known to contain Clayey Sand.

Evaluation: There are no issues related to minerals.

Historic Resources

According to Illustration A-II of the Comprehensive Plan, entitled Historic Resources, which is based upon

the Florida Division of Historical Resources, Master Site File, dated 2013, there are no known historic

resources located on the subject property.

Page 8 of 11

Page 10: COLUMBIA COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT July 23, 2015 …€¦ · Panel 0467C of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Series, dated February

Evaluation: There are no issues related to historic Resources.

Aquifer Vulnerability

According to the Columbia County Floridan Aquifer System Protection Zone Map, prepared by the Advance

GeoSpacial Inc., dated September 29, 2009, the subject property is located in a more vulnerable area.

Evaluation: While the subject property is located in a more vulnerable area, there is no issue related to

aquifer vulnerability.

Vegetative Communities/Wildlife

According to Illustration V-I of the Data and Analysis Report, entitled Vegetative Communities, the subject

property is located within a non-vegetative community.

Evaluation: There is no known wildlife habitats associated with a non-vegetative community; therefore,

there is no issue related to vegetative communities or wildlife.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS

Section 12.3.1.2 of the Land Development Regulations (“LDRs”) establishes standards with which all

Variance applications must be found in compliance with. Staff’s evaluation of the application’s compliance

with the applicable standards of Section 12.3.1.2 of the LDRs is provided below.

1) Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or

building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the

same zoning district.

Evaluation and Findings: The subject property is located in a platted subdivision which

was approved by the Board of County Commissioner on May 20, 1976 and does not meet the

current density requirements. The subject property is located in an Environmentally

Sensitive Area (“ESA”) Zone District which has 25 foot side setbacks. The subject property is

very narrow as is very common with the lots in Three Rivers Estates. This tends to lead to

structures being well within the require building setbacks. The existing dwelling is located

approximately 12 feet from the side property boundary on the south. A deck was permitted

on March 20, 2014 and constructed in accordance with the approved permit. The deck did

not protrude into the southerly side setback any further than the existing single family

dwelling. Further, there is existing mechanical equipment (air conditioning unit) located in

the southerly side setback. As the property owner, I’m requesting a retroactive variance

from the southerly side setback from 25 feet to 12 feet for the existing single family

residence and the permitted deck addition, and a retroactive variance from the southerly

side setback from 25 feet to 6 feet for the existing mechanical equipment (air conditioner).

Given the structures are existing, permitted structures and equipment, there are special

conditions and circumstances which exist that are peculiar to the land, structure, or building

involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same

zoning district.

Page 9 of 11

Page 11: COLUMBIA COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT July 23, 2015 …€¦ · Panel 0467C of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Series, dated February

2) The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.

Evaluation and Findings: There are no special conditions and circumstances that do not

result from the actions of the applicant. The existing deck was permitted through the

Columbia County Building and Zoning Department.

3) Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is

denied by these Land Development Regulations (“LDRs”) to other lands, buildings, or

structures in the same Zoning District.

Evaluation and Findings: The granting of the variance requested will not confer on the

applicant a special privilege that is denied by these LDRs to other lands or structures in the

same Zoning District. Many of the lot within Three Rivers Estates have been granted

variances for the same or similar reason as the variance requested. It is not possible for the

narrow lots within the Three River Estates to meet the setback requirements of the ESA Zone

District.

4) Literal interpretation of the provisions of the LDRs would deprive the applicant of rights

commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the

LDRs and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.

Evaluation and Findings: The literal interpretation of the provisions of the LDRs would

deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning

district under the terms of the LDRs and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on

the applicant. The subject property would not be able to be built upon if the literal

interpretation of the provisions of the LDRs were applied; therefore, creating an unnecessary

and undue hardship.

5) The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of

the land, building, or structure.

Evaluation and Findings: The proposed variance, if approved, would be the minimum

variance allowed given that the single family residence, deck, and mechanical equipment are

already in existence. The variance requested is to allow the existing structures to be covered

via the variance, not for the purpose of allowing construction closer to the property line.

6) The grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the

LDRs, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise

detrimental to the public welfare.

Evaluation and Findings: As previously mentioned, many of the lots in the Three Rivers

Estates have similar setback variances as the one being requested. These variances have not

been injurious or detrimental to public welfare. Likewise, the granting of the proposed

variance will not be injurious or detrimental to the public welfare. Given the information

above, it is anticipated that the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general

intent and purpose of the LDRs, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area

involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.

Page 12: COLUMBIA COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT July 23, 2015 …€¦ · Panel 0467C of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Series, dated February

7) Limitations on subsequent written petition for a variance. No written petition by an owner of

real property for a variance for a particular parcel of property, or part thereof, shall be filed

with the Land Development Regulation Administrator until the expiration of 12 calendar

months from the date of denial of a written petition for a variance for such property, or part

thereof, unless the board of adjustment specially waives said waiting period based upon a

consideration of the following factors:

a. The new written petition constituting a proposed variance different from the one

proposed in the denied written petition.

b. Failure to waive said 12-month waiting period constitutes a hardship to the applicant

resulting from mistake, inadvertence, or newly discovered matters of consideration.

Evaluation and Findings: No application for a variance has been made in respect to the

subject property within the past twelve (12) months.

PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT

Given the applicant is not proposing any additional Recreational Vehicle sites in association with the

campground; there are no impacts to Public Facilities.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS

Section 12.3.1.2 of the Land Development Regulations (“LDRs”) establishes standards with which

all Variance applications must be found in compliance with. Staff’s evaluation of the application’s

compliance with the applicable standards of Section 12.3.1.2 of the LDRs is provided below.

1) Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or

building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in

the same zoning district.

Evaluation and Findings: The subject property is located in a platted subdivision which

was approved by the Board of County Commissioner on May 20, 1976 and does not meet

the current density requirements. The subject property is located in an Environmentally

Sensitive Area (“ESA”) Zone District which has 25 foot side setbacks. The subject

property is very narrow as is very common with the lots in Three Rivers Estates. This

tends to lead to structures being well within the require building setbacks. The existing

dwelling is located approximately 12 feet from the side property boundary on the south.

A deck was permitted on March 20, 2014 and constructed in accordance with the

approved permit. The deck did not protrude into the southerly side setback any further

than the existing single family dwelling. Further, there is existing mechanical equipment

(air conditioning unit) located in the southerly side setback. As the property owner, I’m

requesting a retroactive variance from the southerly side setback from 25 feet to 12 feet

for the existing single family residence and the permitted deck addition, and a retroactive

variance from the southerly side setback from 25 feet to 6 feet for the existing mechanical

equipment (air conditioner).

Given the structures are existing, permitted structures and equipment, there are special

conditions and circumstances which exist that are peculiar to the land, structure, or

building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in

the same zoning district.

2) The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.

Evaluation and Findings: There are no special conditions and circumstances that do not

result from the actions of the applicant. The existing deck was permitted through the

Columbia County Building and Zoning Department.

3) Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that

is denied by these Land Development Regulations (“LDRs”) to other lands, buildings, or

structures in the same Zoning District.

Evaluation and Findings: The granting of the variance requested will not confer on the

applicant a special privilege that is denied by these LDRs to other lands or structures in

the same Zoning District. Many of the lot within Three Rivers Estates have been granted

variances for the same or similar reason as the variance requested. It is not possible for

the narrow lots within the Three River Estates to meet the setback requirements of the

ESA Zone District.

Page 1 of 2

Page 30: COLUMBIA COUNTY BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT July 23, 2015 …€¦ · Panel 0467C of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Series, dated February

4) Literal interpretation of the provisions of the LDRs would deprive the applicant of rights

commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the

LDRs and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.

Evaluation and Findings: The literal interpretation of the provisions of the LDRs would

deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning

district under the terms of the LDRs and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on

the applicant. The subject property would not be able to be built upon if the literal

interpretation of the provisions of the LDRs were applied; therefore, creating an

unnecessary and undue hardship.

5) The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use

of the land, building, or structure.

Evaluation and Findings: The proposed variance, if approved, would be the minimum

variance allowed given that the single family residence, deck, and mechanical equipment

are already in existence. The variance requested is to allow the existing structures to be

covered via the variance, not for the purpose of allowing construction closer to the

property line.

6) The grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the

LDRs, and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise

detrimental to the public welfare.

Evaluation and Findings: As previously mentioned, many of the lots in the Three Rivers

Estates have similar setback variances as the one being requested. These variances have

not been injurious or detrimental to public welfare. Likewise, the granting of the

proposed variance will not be injurious or detrimental to the public welfare. Given the

information above, it is anticipated that the granting of the variance will be in harmony

with the general intent and purpose of the LDRs, and that such variance will not be

injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.

7) Limitations on subsequent written petition for a variance. No written petition by an

owner of real property for a variance for a particular parcel of property, or part thereof,

shall be filed with the Land Development Regulation Administrator until the expiration of

12 calendar months from the date of denial of a written petition for a variance for such

property, or part thereof, unless the board of adjustment specially waives said waiting

period based upon a consideration of the following factors:

a. The new written petition constituting a proposed variance different from

the one proposed in the denied written petition.

b. Failure to waive said 12-month waiting period constitutes a hardship to

the applicant resulting from mistake, inadvertence, or newly discovered

matters of consideration.

Evaluation and Findings: No application for a variance has been made in respect to the

subject property within the past twelve (12) months.
