SUBJECT: VARIANCE APPLICATION
CASE NO. 02VR-99: GARLAND
622 SHERWOOD OAKS DRIVE
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners recommend approval of the
subject variance application which would enable the applicant to retain two storage sheds in their
present locations upon the subject property (see attached Exhibits #1 and #2, "Site Location
Maps" and Exhibit#3, "Boundary Survey")?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The applicant constructed two (2) storage sheds upon the rear of his property (see attached
Exhibit #3) without first obtaining building permits. The Staff believes that had Mr. Garland
followed the correct procedure to obtain a building permit, the present process would probably
not be necessary. Rather than proceeding directly to the Code Enforcement Board, Mr. Garland
requested that the Board of Adjustment and City Commission "hear" his variance request for
"after-the-fact" building permits that would allow him to keep the subject two sheds in their
present locations. Please review Exhibit #4, which is a petition signed by many of Mr. Garland's
neighbors, which was provided to buttress his request to allow the two subject sheds to remain in
place.
The first storage shed is a 10' by 13' aluminum structure that was erected within a 10' drainage
easement and within a 7 I/2' accessory building rear setback. It was erected an estimated several
years ago. The second shed being a 12' by 24' wooden structure that was erected within the
same 10' drainage easement and within a 5' utility easement. Also, shed #2 was erected within
the 7 1/2' accessory building rear and side setbacks. It appears to have been built in early 1999.
