Variance to the Clay County Land Development Code, Article III, Section 3-16(f)(7), to decrease the setback for accessory structures from all lot lines from 7.5 feet to 2.5 feet.

The parcel is located in the Hibernia Forest Unit One subdivision. The Plat was approved and recorded in 1957 prior to the adoption of zoning regulations in Clay County.   A review of the 1986 Deed shows that the parcel is described as the northern 75 feet of Lot 1, Hibernia Forest Unit One.  The RA zoning district has a minimum lot width of 100 feet.  The parcel is developed with a 3,934 sf single family dwelling and a concrete driveway that extends from Fleming Island Drive to the existing dwelling.  A review of property appraiser records indicates the concrete driveway was placed on the property in 1977.  The applicant wishes to place an accessory structure on the southern part of the property between the existing driveway and the southern property line. A 25 ft. easement runs along the length of the southern property line of the subject parcel.
