Planning board deadlocks on larger pump house for 3 Pelican Lane; variance fails after public opposition
Summary
The Flagler County Planning and Development Board failed to approve a requested setback and lot-coverage variance for a larger pump house at 3 Pelican Lane after months of review and strong neighborhood opposition. The tie vote leaves the applicant with the option to reapply or reconsider engineering evidence.
The Flagler County Planning and Development Board failed to approve a variance to allow a larger pump house at 3 Pelican Lane after the board split 3-3 on a motion to approve.
The applicant, Raymond Royer, requested a street-side setback variance and a small lot coverage increase so he could place a 12-by-8-foot pump house with a mean roof height of about 7 feet 6 inches (9 feet 3 inches peak) closer to the street than the code normally permits. Staff summarized the request as a 23.34-foot left street-side setback variance from the 25-foot requirement and a 1.2% lot-coverage variance for a pump house accessory to a pool. The pump house, Mr. Royer said, is intended to house specialty pump equipment for an exercise-style swim system and associated mechanical equipment.
