[Hardee Avenue, east of US Highway 1, Port St. Lucie, FL 34952; case VAR-2604-000070] Variance requested for a 2,500 sq. ft. metal building to encroach 10 feet into the 20-foot required rear yard setback. The property is a non-conforming lot of record, less than 50% of the minimum required lot size for the CG zoning district. The variance is sought to allow for the reasonable use of the land for a limousine storage business, given the lot's small size and the need to accommodate long vehicles. Staff recommends approval. Environmental Resources Department has no objection. Public comment sentiment is not stated in this document. [3233 NW Dockage Way, Palm City, FL] Variance requested to reduce the required lot width from 150 feet to 134 feet 10 7/8 inches for a single-family residence. The property is 1.00 acre and zoned Agricultural Residential (AR-1). Staff recommends denial, pending further environmental surveys. [3233 Dockage Way, Ft. Pierce, FL 34990; case VAR-2605-000072] A variance request for a single-family residence at 3233 Dockage Way, Ft. Pierce, FL, was considered by the Board of Adjustment. The applicant, Eleanor and Luke Jacobs, sought to reduce the minimum lot width from 150 ft. to 134 ft. 10 7/8 inches to allow construction of a single-family residence, pool, and pool deck at the minimum 50 ft. front yard setback. The property is 1.00 acre (43,609.87 sq. ft.) and zoned AR-1 (Agricultural, Residential - 1). The variance was recommended for denial by staff, citing that it may not be the minimum relief necessary for reasonable use, despite acknowledging it could reduce impacts to existing trees and gopher tortoise habitat. Staff suggested conditions for approval, including replatting, a preservation easement, and a buffer around gopher tortoise habitat. The Environmental Resources Department had no objection to the variance application, noting minimal impacts to native tree habitat but requiring a Shoreline Variance Application for impacts to Zone B of the Riverine Shoreline Protection. The property has disturbed pine flatwoods with native flora and gopher tortoise activity. Public comment was solicited but not detailed in this document.
