ZV(R) 2020-26 - 27, Jose Sotomayor, 10400 NW 21 Street
Summary Explanation and Background
SUMMARY EXPLANATION AND BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND:
Jose Sotomayor, owner, has submitted two variance requests. Requested variance ZV(R) 2020-26 is to allow a concrete slab and pool/pool deck to be 1’-7” from the rear property line. Requested ZV(R) 2020-27 is to allow an existing BBQ structure to be 3’-6” from the west property line.
The requested variances became necessary when Mr. Sotomayor submitted permits to replace his existing pool and deck with a reconstructed pool and deck in the same location. The submitted plans also showed the existing concrete slab (see attached plans) connected to the proposed pool deck on the east side. The permit was denied for not meeting required setbacks.
Research showed the existing concrete slab was permitted in 2003 (Permit #22309017 survey attached) and the existing pool and deck were permitted sometime in the mid to late 1970’s. In addition, there is an existing BBQ structure on the west side of his property (no history of any permits) that he would like to submit permits to legalize.
Mr. Sotomayor has provided support letters from his neighbors.
