Board approves 6-foot rear-yard variance for lanai at Eden Preserve Lot 9
Summary
The Board approved a variance reducing the required rear-yard setback from 30 feet to 24 feet to permit a 343-square-foot lanai on Vacant Lot 9 in the Eden Preserve subdivision; staff cited an irregular lot shape and a 10-foot landscape easement that will screen the lanai.
The Seminole County Board of Adjustment approved a variance reducing the rear-yard setback from 30 feet to 24 feet for a lanai at Vacant Lot 9 in the Eden Preserve subdivision. Planning staff reported the lot is irregularly shaped with less depth than typical lots in the subdivision and said the lanai — about 343 square feet — would not be visible once a 10-foot landscape and fence easement on the north side is installed. Rebecca Hammock, representing KHOPH Homes, told the board she represents the developer building the subdivision and said the lot-owner builder currently controls adjacent lots, which makes moving lot lines impractical. Hammock said the developer is building the homes and that potential accessory structures could be located even closer to lot lines than a lanai. No public opposition appeared at the hearing. The vice chair moved to approve the variance and Mr. Beagley seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
