PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Maria Mejia, owner, submitted two residential zoning variance requests to legalize an existing driveway for the property located at 17024 NW 20 Street. The property is part of the Pembroke Isles Planned Unit Development (PUD) and follows the guidelines for single-family homes, zero lot line.

Per the plan submitted by the applicant, the existing concrete area will be removed and replaced with landscape; the owner, however, would like to retain the existing open sided, freestanding structure (chickee hut) at location and is including the following request:
