SPECIAL EXCEPTION QUEST #SE89-004 • PAGE -2- The Bayshore Elementary School, as indicated by Exhibit "A", is located on a corner lot. Section i1-605.2 also states: [A Special Exception] shall be granted...only when the Board finds that such Special Exception will not affect the value and use of adjacent or neighboring properties or be contrary to the best public interest. It is the Board's charge, based on testimony from the applicants, staff, and concerned citizens, to determine whether or not these conditions have been satisfied. ANALYSIS' Although a large portion of the school property is a double frontage lot, the western portion (south property line) abuts a series of single family homesites which are located in the City of . Shoreacres (see Exhibit "A"). The south wall of the proposed west wing is to be located 12.8 feet from this property line (See Exhibit "B"). As the School is assigned a Bay Oaks address, this • line is considered to be a rear line and as such, is subject to rear setback requirements. Special Exceptions to yard setback requirements are allowed for corner lots due to the fact that setbacks on these lots are, to a large extent, subject to lot orientation. For example, if Bayshore Elementary were assigned an Oakshores or a Fairfield street address, the southern property line would be considered a side property line. The required side setback for a school located in a residential zone is 10 feet. The setback of the proposed addition would then be greater than that required by the Zoning Ordinance. With this in mind, it is necessary to consider possible impact on neighboring property. The proposed addition will primarily affect one homesite (see Exhibit "B"). Since the rear wall of the addition will be located fairly close to the rear property line of this home, the School District has agreed to meet the following conditions: 1) The 12.8 foot setback area is~to be fenced with gates on the east and west ends (see Exhibit "B"). 2) This fenced area is to be landscaped to make it as visually attractive as possible. The landscape plan is • to be approved by the Director of Community Development.
