Planner Belizaire presented a brief overview of the subject parcel and the requeste
variance. She explained that the property was platted in 1976 as it of the Pioneer Key Par
mobile home subdivision and is a substandard lot of record as it does not meet the 7,00,
square foot minimum lot area for the RT-1 zoning district. The parcel also has three
frontages where it abuts the right-of-way; based on its circumstances and conditions, Sta
finds there is sufficient demonstration that the four (4) variance evaluation criteria are me
Staff supports approval of the variance. �1

Gia Lucas, 1002 Featherstone Circle, gave the history of the property since her family took
ownership. She further explained that when the trailer, which was purchased to be installed
on the property, was inspected and approved, there was miscommunication leading them to
believe that it had been authorized for installation on the subject property.
Chair Lomneck closed the public hearing.
Chair Lomneck inquired if a trailer had been on the property previously. Planner Belizaire
responded in the affirmative.
Vice -Chair Forges inquired if the property is on sewer or septic. Development Services
Deputy Director Whitfield responded that she is not certain. Discussion regarding lot size
with respect to septic tanks ensued.
Development Services Deputy Director Whitfield explained that the parcels in the Pioneer
Key mobile home park are subject to potential changes in conjunction with the Land
Development Code (LDC) update. For example, the lot sizes would permit the installation of
a tiny home in accordance with the update, but the current Code only allows mobile homes to
be installed in RT-1 zoning.
Chair Lomneck asked for a refresher on what the new setbacks would be with the updatelu
LDC requirements. Development Services Deputy Director Whitfield addressed hi
