Planning board approves variance for 309 12th Street to allow addition
Summary
The Port St. Joe Planning Board approved a variance for 309 12th Street (Parcel 05137-00R) so the owner can add a bedroom and bathroom; staff raised no objection to the proposed 11-foot encroachment on the Long Avenue side. The motion carried unanimously.
The Port St. Joe Planning Board on Feb. 3 approved a variance allowing an addition to 309 12th Street, a corner lot owned by SPS Properties.
The board heard from Sam Smith, who identified himself as the property owner: "Name is Sam Smith, and I'm the owner of you said address here." He said he planned to add a bedroom and bathroom and asked relief from the standard side-yard setback.
Board discussion clarified that the corner lot has 25-foot setbacks on the numbered-street and 12th Street sides and that the proposed addition would encroach to an 11-foot setback on the Long Avenue side. Staff raised no objection during the hearing.
After no public objections were recorded, a board member moved to approve the variance; the motion was seconded and the board recorded the outcome as "Motion carries 4." The record does not list individual votes by name.
The board did not place additional conditions on the variance in the transcript. The owner thanked the board, and the meeting moved on to the next agenda item.
