D. BACKGROUND: The property located at 402 Ravenshill Way is within the Victoria

Planning Board · 2026-05-13 · agenda_item

The Planning Board of the City of DeLand is reviewing a request for a variance for a property at 402 Ravenshill Way. This property is in the Victoria Park Planned Development, within the Victoria Commons community, which has single-family homes and townhomes. The owners are seeking to keep a six-foot tall, opaque white vinyl fence that was installed without a permit. The fence is located about five feet from the street-side property line, which is five feet into the required ten-foot setback area. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. Resolving this issue involves a variance request, not new construction. Therefore, the scope of work is limited to the administrative and legal processes associated with the variance. Local businesses involved in legal services and property matters may find opportunities in assisting with the variance process. Engaging early with the property owners could be advantageous before final decisions are made.
