Transcript Partial transcript
Machine transcription of the meeting recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have
not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard.
It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome — the City's
minutes do that (above).
A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, as the City's file, in a new tab.
137 suspect passage(s) marked in place.
How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 11 voices separated from the audio.
9 short machine repair(s) (12 word(s)) are labelled in place, with the original words beside them: an ordinary word was replaced only where two further machine readings agreed on a different one.
Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings.
A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 96.1% of 6,111 content words.
Dotted words (123 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading.
137 passages (21% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there.
Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.
Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

And this is, the item is the 800 North Fisk fence height waiver from Article 13, Section 5, visual screens ‸ from our zoning code.

Section 5, visual screens, which is fences, walls, and hedges, providing the procedures in Section 8C are followed and findings are made, including the initial finding criteria, that the need for the proposed waiver arises out of the physical surroundings, shape, topographical condition, or other physical or environmental conditions that are unique to the specific property involved. If the Board of Adjustment makes a positive finding in the initial criteria above,

each of the secondary criteria before granting a waiver. If the Board does not make a positive finding in the initial criteria, the Board could potentially deny the request, but also hear and consider the secondary criteria. And the request tonight is the consideration of a waiver request from Appendix A, Zoning Article 13, Section 5, to waive the 6 foot maximum height requirement in the RU 215 multi-family zoning district in order to allow an 8 foot tall fence to

representative. We do have the applicant and a representative of the Condo Association in the audience tonight if you have any questions. The zoning district, as mentioned, is multifamily RU 215. The future land use is medium density residential.

wood fence on the north and south property lines and an 8 foot chain link fence in the rear of the property. Portions of the wooden fence are either deteriorated, damaged, or missing. And the complex experienced some crime related activity due partly to the condition and instability of the fence. And so the applicant is requesting to replace it with a total of 1,025 feet of stockade wood fence along the property line, approximately 402 feet on the north side and approximately 576 feet on the ‸ south side.

of the property. That's for the chain link portion and for a 230 foot segment of the property line on the north side. The justification for the variance at the time was that the property had been subject to various burglaries, car thefts, and trespassing at that time as well.

‸ already has a variance. Therefore, the actual requested waiver is for 795 feet of fence. So they're already permitted ‸ to replace that 230 foot portion of 8 foot fence. And in 2008, the property received a planning and zoning approval for minor site plan amendment, which included an 8 foot aluminum fence and gate across the front of the property, which has since been removed. The owner has expressed interest in having the front gates replaced at a later date.

feet of fence, which was denied due to the 6 foot maximum code requirement. After the permit was denied, staff recommended the applicant request an administrative waiver, which allows the city manager to consider and administratively approve the request, which in the cases of fences allows an increase in height to no more than 2 feet. Also for administrative waivers, the applicant must show that the request is consistent with the public interest, does not adversely affect surrounding properties or the general welfare, and does not undermine the intent of the code. The applicant was unable to obtain the required approval affidavits from the abutting property owners, which brings us to this request before the board this evening. And the requested waiver was analyzed according to the criteria in Appendix A, Article 17, the initial criteria being does the need for the proposed waiver arise out of any physical surroundings, shape, topographical conditions, or other physical or environmental conditions that are unique to that specific property. And in the analysis, we considered the applicant's response or main reason for applying for the waiver, which is that

However, per the required criteria, there are no physical surroundings, topographical conditions, or other physical environmental characteristics that are unique to that property. It has no regular uneven elevations. It has a symmetrical rectangular shape. The conditions are not

physical constraint or hardship. Although staff determined the initial physical hardship criteria was not met, there were other factors analyzed in the remaining criteria, such as. Are there practical or economic difficulties preventing carrying out the strict letter of the regulation or meeting the six-foot requirement, and that it is ‸ not based exclusively upon a desire to reduce the cost of developing a property. And will it substantially increase the congestion or surrounding public streets? Will it increase the danger of fire or other hazard?

[00:09:02]▶ PlaySpeaker 5 (introduced as “Jen Webster” — machine-transcribed, not verified)
And so, the conclusions were that the strict application of the regulation would not create practical economic difficulties for the applicant. Conversely, an eight-foot fence is more costly than a six-foot fence and would be considered an investment in the property's security.

prevention and the security of the existing property. The waiver will not increase congestion on surrounding public streets or create any additional hazards to the public. Conversely, the fence would contribute to the Crestview resident's safety. The requested waiver is limited to vertical fencing and does not impact traffic flow, ingress, egress points, or site circulation. As a crime deterrent, the extended fence could result in a reduction of crime-related activity. The waiver request is not anticipated to diminish property values in the area, nor is it anticipated ‸ to substantially alter the essential character of the surrounding property. With the fence being a replacement of an existing eight-foot fence, the character will remain the same.

the fence is intended to address the concerns of crime-related activity in the community, the applicant did not demonstrate that the property has unique physical surroundings, topographical conditions, or other physical or environmental characteristics, as is required by Appendix A, Article 17, Section 8. Because staff found that the initial threshold criteria for granting a waiver has not been met, staff cannot recommend approval of the requested waiver. However, the applicant is permitted to replace the 230 feet of 8-foot fencing, as defined in the 1992 variance. So, this evening, staff recommends that the board deny the waiver request from Article 13, Section 5, visual screens,

‸ so really the basis of approving the waiver is meeting that initial criteria. So, if that initial criteria is not met, that kind of automatically falls into a denial. However, just in context of the request, you know, we looked at the ‸ other criteria, just just to kind of, you know, give the whole picture of the reason for the request.

I do. Thank you. We're here today because I went to fix a fence that is completely dilapidated. It is going to be a wooden fence that is going to go right back up. Currently, the blue lines that you saw up there are existing eight-foot-tall fence. Right now, they are ‸ on four-by-fours. I will be putting them on four-by-sixes, so they are going to be maxed out and last longer than what the current fence was. From my view of the fence, it looks like it's been there for a good 13, 14, if not 15 years. So it's been there quite a long time. The residents to the, the residents

the property. One is another condominium, which are super happy about getting the fence replaced at eight-foot-tall as well. The people on the right never complained about the fence being eight-foot-tall. It gives them privacy from the condominium area. The reason that that front fence needs to be replaced is because of crime in the area. I actually worked for another fence company when that front part was approved, and it was ran into consistently from people running from the cops. And so criminals will take that area if they're running away and try and go through. If they have a six-foot-tall fence, they're going to want to scale it. It's

Additionally, I did bring some sheets that show that that specific address is listed on the right-hand side on the top corner, and it shows the statistical data of the crime rate in that specific area. ‸ So, on the first page, it basically says that that particular spot is only safer than 19% of the entire U.S. neighborhoods.
in that neighborhood. So, ultimately, putting this fence back up in the eight-foot-tall is not only going to, one, get the dilapidated fence out of the way. It's not going to make a bad situation for either the neighbors on the right or on the left. And if you pull back the blue lines, you can see that we are far behind any visibility from the road. It's not going to impact any traffic. Everybody's going to be able to still come in and out of the property. ‸ It'll be safer for the residents.
that nobody ever complained about having ‸ the fence there to begin with. And again, there's an eight-foot-tall chain-link fence that was installed by the city. What we're trying to do is try and make it look more like a residential place for the residents inside of our complex.
If, I guess, I don't know if this question is for Jennifer or, because if we're forced to say, if we're forced to deny, what's their next step to get the approval for the eight-foot fence? Because they prefer an eight-foot instead of six-foot.

little bit of history on 800 North Fisk we acquired North Fisk as a company keys property management some time ago I wish I could give you years I can only be accountable for what I have done But during that time, they put the taller fence up because of shootings and gang related incidences. it also incurred control of the front when I was assigned my first impression was it was more like a jail.
from being part of the community when I came in I started to address some of the things the residents were concerned about. Security was one. We had a security company that did backport security. And if you're not familiar with that, it's using the committee it's using the residents to call them when there's a problem. And then they would call 911. my maintenance man became the security guard during the day, basically. And we started working on lights. We put in cameras. We went for a vote to remove the front gate. We went for a vote to paint the buildings. We replaced every roof.
My goal is to become part of the community and blend in with part of the community. it did take me a while to get security I now have I was using coco police department for our weekends

that changed into condos it's a conversion I mentioned special assessments if you've been a part of the community and you've seen 800 north fisk you know what I came into and you look at it now and you see change if I have a fence it becomes of security and also reliability It gives my Curtis security guards, which they're armed, by the way, because they're the only folk that would take it because ‸ the reputation of 800 North Fisk, and they're out of Orlando. and I met them at cii trade show but I once I get my fence our front is open we're going to landscape it. It's going to look nice, guys. We're going to have an in in and ‸ out. That fence is going to prevent any escape if we have any happenings. They're going to be confined to going in and out.

I just need help to get there. I need to protect the tenants and my owners. They're aged. They're on limited incomes. And these special assessments are killing them. But they're paying it and giving me steward to that money to help them improve this property. And that's all I can do is reach out to you and ask you for the variance for this property only.

Can I just clarify really quickly? So the waiver they're asking for is for the 200 additional feet that they were trying to convert from the six foot to the eight foot fence. Is that correct?

ask one question? um You mentioned uh special assessments and the actual inhabitants of the building. uh has there Was there a cost analysis of the difference uh for a six-foot fence versus an eight-foot fence and how that would be passed on to the folks living there?
about we did special sets for the replacement of the eight-foot fence. ‸ This was hurricane damage, by the way. i forgot that I forgot to add that. We had a microburst at building five that ripped off the roof, tore our fence apart. I could not get the materials during the state of emergency to repair the fence and replace it. So we did the right thing. We started the paperwork. But that's where it all started. I just wanted to let you all know.

half feet compared to a two and a half foot for a six foot tall fence. um It is uh double the cost. And they just said, let's do it. Because it needs to be done. And my recommendation for a fence that tall and the fact that the the skinnier posts will rot and decay much faster, causing the wind to knock it down

that are part of this special assessment to keep the second landing up. And we also have rebar that needs to be addressed. And this is all in ‸ special assessment, by the way. But it only covers four stairwells. ‸ the reason
And then we can break up the others moving forward, doing one every year. Well, not one, but a series of them until they're all done. And that's budget friendly.
So let me understand a little bit more. Is there a board within the community or was there some sort of vote put it to the folks living in the community yes about the cost? And they chose to have an eight foot over a six? Yes. And that was some kind of majority vote or something? and that

Yeah. The fence for fence makes sense. But when... So you're here asking for an eight foot fence versus a six foot. Like there there there is a difference in my mind. They're forcing a six
from a six foot fence. An eight foot... then They're not going to have a view like they could if they get up on a two by four on a six foot. So that just goes back to us being young kids.
‸ No, i I get it. I appreciate everything you're sharing and I mimic what some of the other board members have said about you guys. Yeah, I have a question. Maybe I
that's a you would think they do. They're going to now. uh Over the years, no one was running reserves because they weren't forced to. They didn't have a call for it. So when we went to go into the buckets, there was none.

we had the insurance folk come in. Now they're telling us that this has to be done. That has to be done just to get insurances on top of that.

Let's have a quick question, miss Jennifer. um If the board approves uh the property for this specific property, but in the future the uh the fence gets damaged again by a storm or whatever, and they have to replace it again, will they have to request another variance?
