'The side yard setback will range from 0' to 8', with all buildings being separated by a minimum of 8', except along east perimeter where RS -6 setbacks apply 'No building, pool, patio or deck can be located within the 30' Jungle Trail Buffer or within 25' of the west perimeter; whichever distance is greater. 'Open space will be guaranteed through the setbacks on each individual lot and the overall controls on the conceptual PD plan. General Note: Roof overhangs can encroach in privately dedicated easements, no other structures shall be allowed to encroach in easements of any type. General Note: For lots with more than one front yard; a 6' fence can be placed in one of the front yards to provide privacy for rear yard amenities. General Note: Roof overhangs are allowed to encroach 3' onto the adjacent property. General Note: The developer is requesting a 40' wide private right of way for the local road within the development. In addition to the 40' wide right of way, there will be an 8' utility easement on both sides of the right of way to form a 56' wide roadway and utility corridor. The approved conceptual PD plan requires a 10' wide Type "C" buffer along the project's east property line adjacent to Oceanaire Heights and Spring Place subdivisions. All of the lots along the east perimeter meet the RS -6 size and dimensional criteria (70' width, 7000 sq. ft.), which provides a measure of compatibility for the lot owners in Oceanaire Heights and Spring Place. Presently, the setbacks for the Old Orchid lots along the east perimeter are 20' front yard, 10' side yards, and 25' rear yard with pools allowed to be within 10' of the rear property line These setbacks are generally consistent with the RS -6 zoning district, except that the rear yard is actually increased from 20' to 25'. From a compatibility viewpoint, the Old Orchid east perimeter lot sizes are consistent with the zoning of the adjacent property; the side yard setbacks are the same as the adjacent property; there is a greater rear yard setback (20' vs. 25'), and a Type "C" buffer is provided pursuant to the compatibility matrix in section 915.16. Therefore, staff believes the request is compatible with the adjacent single family homes to the east. The applicant's request is that the intemal front yard setback be reduced from 20' to 10' for the lots along the east perimeter. This change in the building envelope configuration is needed to accommodate longer homes that the developer has built elsewhere in the development and wishes to build on the east perimeter Lots. Staff has no objection to the internal front yard setback being reduced from 20' to 10', as requested. Since the front yards are internal to the development, the difference in the setbacks would not impact properties adjacent to Old Orchid. The change would make the front yard setbacks for the east perimeter lots consistent with the front yard setback for all other lots within Old Orchid. Such consistency is desirable for the developer and will not adversely impact adjacent properties. FEBRUARY 19, 2002 -34-
