Tatiana Childress, the City of Oldsmar planning and redevelopment director, told the board that the property at 3 Sunny Point Terrace is an irregular, waterfront corner lot and that the applicant seeks reductions to the secondary front-yard setback (from 25 feet to 15 feet) and the rear-yard setback (from 20 feet to 6 feet) to permit a pool and associated decking.
