Orange County — Board of Zoning Adjustment

VA-16-07-083 — CASABELLA OF WINDERMERE HOA, INC.

Request: Variances in the R-CE-C zoning district to allow playground equipment for private park as follows: 1) 13 ft. from front (west) property line in lieu of 30 ft.; 2) 7 ft. from side (south) property line in lieu of 10 ft.; and, 3) Accessory structure (shade canopy) 21 ft. in height in lieu of 20 ft. (Note: This is a dedicated park owned and maintained by the HOA).

Decision: Approved

Hearing: Staff clarified that even though the applicant provided a site plan, the BZA was not approving the equipment in the park, only the reduced setbacks and increased height of the canopy. The equipment could be different, and may change. In fact, the equipment currently on the property was being replaced at this time. Staff noted that the tract was much smaller than the normal size lot in the R-CE-C zoning district, thus, the need to reduce the setbacks. The applicant noted that they were in agreement with the staff recommendation. There being no one in attendance to speak for or against the application, the public hearing was closed. The BZA found that the request was reasonable and necessary to accommodate use of the subject property.
