Petition Submitted by Louis Carastro and Helen J. Carastro for Hardship Relief From Subdivision Regulations for Property Located on Centralia Road

body
BRIEF OVERVIEW
This subject property (Key No. 1520535) is located on Centralia Road. The applicants, Louis and Helen J. Carastro, submitted a Class D Subdivision application to create two (2) parcels from the approximate 9.6-acre parcel: Parcel 1 would be approximately 4.8 +/- acres and the Parcel 2 would be 4.8 +/- acres.

The proposed parcels do not meet the above requirements, so the parcel subdivision was denied. As a result, the petitioners filed a Petition for Relief from Hardship, seeking the Board's approval for relief from the requirement.

Should the Board determine that a hardship is warranted, Section 26-3(f) 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, which will be recorded in the official records.

Likewise, if the petition for hardship is denied, the Board should authorize the Chairman's signature on the denial resolution.
