Tampa VRB approves rear-setback variance for pool deck at corner lot on Oak Green Way
Summary
The board approved reducing the rear-yard setback from 20 feet to 5 feet at 3204 Oak Green Way to accommodate a pool deck whose elevation exceeds 12 inches above grade; stormwater mitigation measures were required.
On Sept. 9 the City of Tampa Variance Review Board granted a variance reducing the rear-yard setback from 20 feet to 5 feet at 3204 Oak Green Way to accommodate a pool deck and associated deck elevation.
Contractor Gary Delisi said the corner of the pool deck exceeded the 12-inch threshold that triggers setback review. He told the board the property slopes steeply toward a neighborhood drainage area and that the project includes an on-site holding area and overflow that conveys runoff to the shared drainage swale. Staff noted that stormwater reviewers required construction notes and measures to ensure on-site runoff is collected and conveyed off-site to avoid impacts to neighbors and that the project must comply with Chapter 21 stormwater technical standards.
Board members said the topography created a reasonable hardship; a motion to grant the variance under section 27-80s hardship criteria passed by voice vote.
