PLN-VAR-25-0003 Page 2 of 5 5253033v1 a. The Whereas clauses contained herein are hereby adopted as Findings of Fact. b. The Property Owner is requesting approval of a variance to grant a 3-foot reduction from the front setback requirement of 20 feet from the front property line, with the property shown on the boundary survey marked Exhibit “B”. c. The proposed variance meets all noted requirements within Section 2.2.8.1 of the Land Use Regulations, as further described below. 1. The need for the dimensional variance was not created by the Applicant's or previous owner's action, such as improper lot division, in violation of these LURs or previously effective land use regulations 2. Strict application of the provisions of these LURs would deprive the Applicant of a reasonable use of his property, cause him unnecessary hardship, or deprive him or her of rights commonly enjoyed by other property owners in the same Land Use Atlas district, and 3. The granting of the dimensional variance would not confer on the Applicant any special privilege denied to other property owners in the same Land Use Atlas district; and 4. The application is for a dimensional variance and would not authorize a use otherwise prohibited by these LURs, and 5. The dimensional variance is the minimum variance that will allow reasonable use of the Property. Section 2. Order. Based upon the foregoing, a variance is hereby approved for the Property to allow for a 3-foot reduction in the front setback requirement of 20 feet from the front property line. Section 3. State and Federal Permits. Issuance of this development permit by the City does not in any way create any right on the part of the Applicant to obtain a permit from a state or federal agency and does not create any liability on the part of the City for issuance of the permit if the Applicant fails to obtain requisite approvals or fulfill the obligations imposed by a state or federal agency or undertakes actions that result in a violation of state or federal law. The Applicant must obtain all applicable state and federal permits before commencing development or use. Section 4. Severability. In the event that any portion or section of this Order is determined to be invalid, illegal or unconstitutional by a court of competent 11

PLN-VAR-25-0003 Page 3 of 5 5253033v1 jurisdiction, such decisions shall in no manner affect the remaining portions or sections of the Variance which shall remain in full force and effect. Section 5. Effective Date. The effective date of this Order shall be upon adoption and recordation of the Order in the Official Records of Manatee County. The Property Owner shall be responsible for recording the Order with the Clerk of the Court and delivering a copy of the recorded Order to the City Planning Department.

Paul and Allyson Notine Property owners 3901 5th Ave NE, Bradenton, FL 34208 Town of Bradenton City Council, This letter is written to request a variance to the front setback of the dimensional requirement of the land use codes. We, the owners of the property, are asking for a reduction of 2-3 feet from the front setback of 20' from the curb and give us relief from this setback to allow us to build the home we have designed for the reason and explanation enumerated below. This lot has an unusually large Cul de Sac with the proximity of the curb curve fronting our property decreasing the availability to situate a traditional home design along the front of the lot. Which requires us to request the setback variance. Other conditions in consideration of this request are in play, such as the building design requirements of the Belle Sole Homeowners Declaration and Covenants, an extremely wide utility easement on the east side of the lot and additional limitations due to canal waterway at the rear of the property. With our attempting to abide with all these conditions our ability to design a reasonable home to fit requires us to ask for relief from the setback requirement as it is the best of all solutions. This variance would not create an impact to the Belle Sole Community or the surrounding neighborhood as there are only 3 buildable vacant lots in this area and none of which would need the same relief for new homeowners. The new house plan was designed for the maximum enjoyment of the property and would be constructed inside the buildable limits of the property if our variance request is approved. The important other reason to consider allowing us to push the house closer to the front curb is that the house design has a small 2'by 3' section situated in the northwest corner of the proposed building, discovered as our surveyor plotted the house design on the lot. A small portion of the northwest corner of the new house as designed is inside the Flood Zone "AE", which would require us to pay for flood insurance on the entire house because of this small 6 sq ft area. And in the effort to redesign the floor plan to avoid the section and place the house in flood zone X, there was no design change found to be an acceptable answer to this problem. Moving the house forward places the house in zone X and removes the need for the flood insurance effectively relieving us of an additional hardship. We have obviously come to you and plead that you would allow this variance based on the information we presented above. 1. The need for the Dimensional Variance was not created by the applicant’s or previous owner’s action, such as improper lot division, in violation of the Land Use Regulations or previously effective land use regulations, and; The Variance we are requesting was not created by the applicant’s or previous owner’s action, such as improper lot d
