Petition Submitted by William Cada and Bailey Cada for Hardship Relief From Subdivision Regulations for Property Located on Filbert Road
body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
This subject property (Key No. 1583245) is located at 12367 Filbert Road. The applicants William and Bailey Cada submitted a Class D Subdivision application to create two (2) parcels from the approximate 10.0-acre parcel; Parcel A would be approximately 7.5 acres and the Parcel B would be 2.5 acres. Section 26-3(e) of the Hernando County Code of Ordinances requires that Class D Subdivisions created in a residential zoning district shall meet the following:
1) Sec. 26-3(e) Class D (2) b.i Each lot must be created from a parent parcel with frontage on an existing county maintained street or private street built and maintained to county standards.
The proposed parcels do not meet the above requirements and the parcel subdivision was denied. The petitioners seek approval by the Board for hardship relief from these requirements.
Should the Board determine that a hardship is warranted, Section 26-3(g) of the Hernando County Code of Ordinances requires compliance with items (1) through (3) listed in the Legal Note, and the Board should authorize the Chairman's signature upon the approval resolution. Likewise, if the petition for hardship is denied, the Board should authorize the Chairperson’s signature on the denial resolution.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no identified financial impact.
LEGAL NOTE
The Board has the authority to act on the request for relief from the Class D Subdivision regulations due to hardship in accordance with Chapter 26, Article I, Section 26-3(g) of the Hernando County Code of Ordinances. A petition for such relief may be filed by any person who feels the provisions of the Class D Subdivision regulations, if complied with, would place upon them an undue burden on their ability to transfer land.
