A bigger deck at 740 A1A Beach Blvd would come within 6.2 feet of the back line

A mixed-use building at 740 A1A Beach Blvd, Units A and C, is up for a deck expansion that would leave 6.2 feet to the rear property line. Scott Patrou is the agent for The Johnston Trust. The request is a variance, a one-building waiver of the rear setback, the gap the rules require between a structure and the back line. The agenda calls 6.2 feet a reduced gap, shorter than that rule.

The packet describes an expansion of a deck that is already there. It does not say the current deck is unsafe, or that the rear gap is too tight to use. The building fronts A1A Beach Boulevard. The shorter measurement, if the board grants it, would apply to these two units.

The matter is set for 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, October 13, at City Hall, 2200 A1A South.
