…body
PUBLIC HEARING: YES QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES
EXPLANATION: Zach Ciciera, agent, on behalf of T & R, owners, is seeking a variance to reduce the width of the landscape buffer on the east property lines within Lots 12 - 14 of Tract B of Blue Cypress to accommodate swimming pools.
SUMMARY: Based on the findings contained within this Staff Report and consistency with both Wellington’s Comprehensive Plan and the variance criteria of the Land Development Regulations, the following conditions of approval are recommended if PZAB approves the request:
1. The landscape buffer is reduced to 7.5 feet within Lots 12 - 14 in the areas depicted in Exhibit D. A Minor Site Plan Amendment to the Blue Cypress site plan and a replat to the Blue Cypress of Palm Beach Polo and Country Club Plat will be required for the adjusted landscape buffer consistent with Exhibit D before the issuance of a building permit for the pool.
2. Granting of the variance does not allow a reduced quantity of landscape material required within the landscape buffer.
