It is my understanding you do not want to go that route and would like to see the entire section of <br /> the ordinance in regards to accessory building setbacks revised.That is the request that is not within my authority and <br /> requires city council approval. <br /> Below I have provided the answers to your questions. <br /> 1. The City of Zephyrhills adopted Ordinance 519 to be known as"The City of Zephyrhills Land Development Code" <br /> February 26th 1990.As to why I do not know that information as it was before my employment, but typically <br /> zoning laws are implemented for aesthetic and safety reasons. <br /> 2. R-2 zoning district average lot size is 60 x 140. Meadowood R-2 zoning average lot size is 71 x 110. <br /> 3. There have been 11-shed/garage specific,variance request in regards to setbacks. <br /> 4. There are specific code requirements for fire separation.Typically In residential construction 10 feet would be <br /> the minimum setback between neighboring structures without fire rated construction. <br /> 5. R-2 zoning districts are required to maintain 20 feet front setbacks, 10 feet side setbacks and 10 feet rear <br /> setbacks from property lines.The majority of residential districts in Zephyrhills are required to meet the stated <br /> setbacks.Some Planned Unit Development Subdivisions have 7.5 feet side setbacks. <br /> Additional information that may be helpful is that a shed 90 square feet and under is permissible to have a 5 foot <br /> setback from property line. <br /> I hope this information is helpful and if you have any other questions please let me know...Thanks, Bill <br /> ---- --------------- ----------------------------- — <br /> From: loretta seekins [mailto:lorettaseekins@msn.com] I <br /> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 8:30 PM <br /> To: Bill Burgess <br /> Cc: Todd Vandeberg; Linda Boan; Jim Drumm <br /> Subject: RE: Request <br /> When I called the office several weeks ago I was told that it would be pointless to be put on the agenda because <br />, the request would be forwarded to your deparhnent. I came to the city council meeting two weeks ago and it <br /> 1 house with the fire de artment on the a enda. I don't want to take u Council time if it's 'ust a <br /> was a ful p g p J <br /> procedural process that will be delegated back to your office. However, if I need to talk at the meeting I would <br /> like to have some additional information, specifically: � <br /> 1. Why was the original ordinance put in place? ' <br /> 2. What is the average size of a land parcel in town? In Meadowood? <br /> 3. How many people have filed variance request with the Board of Adjustment since the ordinance was issued? <br /> 4. Does the ordinance have anything to do with fire requirements? <br /> 5. What is the average setback for houses located in town? In Meadowood? <br /> i <br />
