Board grants variance to retain 8.8-foot side setback for Pineview Circle home
Summary
The Board of Adjustment approved an 8.8-foot side-setback variance at 1817 Pineview Circle, allowing the owner to renovate and retain the existing footprint rather than demolish and reconstruct to meet a 14-foot requirement. Staff cited unique lot shape, wetland adjacency and floodplain constraints in recommending approval.
The Winter Park Board of Adjustment voted unanimously to allow a property at 1817 Pineview Circle to retain an existing 8.8-foot first-floor side setback in lieu of the 14-foot requirement.
Planner II Nick Lewis presented the application and described a triangular lot with a rear wetland and a portion in the 100-year floodplain. He said the applicants propose a significant renovation and facade update that keeps the structure single-story and maintains the 8.8-foot side setback on the western property line, converting a carport to a single-car garage and meeting other applicable setbacks.
Applicant Deborah Texara explained she purchased and remodeled the home in 2020 and, now married with visiting children, needs more space but wants to preserve the surrounding green area and the home’s single-story character. After staff Q&A about impervious coverage and HVAC placement, the board deliberated, moved to approve the request, and recorded unanimous approval by roll call.
