Builder Secures Controversial Variance for Home Construction
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed a variance request for a property located at 82 Coronado Road, part of the Veranda Bay development. The applicant sought a deviation from the required 10-foot rear setback, as a foundation survey revealed the home was constructed only 8.5 feet from the rear property line, a discrepancy attributed to surveyor error.

The property, which spans approximately 6,500 square feet, is currently under the jurisdiction of the local government as it undergoes annexation into Flagler Beach. The area is designated for agricultural and timberland use, with zoning classified as Planned Unit Development (PUD). Notably, the site is located in a flood zone, but no wetlands are present on the property itself.

During the meeting, it was noted that the original site plan had been approved with the correct setbacks, and the contractor had proceeded with construction to avoid potential damage during the drying phase of the build. The variance request was characterized as an \"after the fact\" application, with no public objections raised against it.

The board ultimately found that the variance met all necessary criteria, determining it would not adversely affect public health or safety and was the minimum relief needed to address the hardship caused by the surveyor's error. Following a motion to approve the variance, the board voted in favor, with the request officially granted.
