January 9, 2019 Mr. Terence McCarthy McCarthy, Summers, Bobko, Wood, Norman, Bass & Melby, P.A. 2400 SE Federal Hwy, Fourth Floor Stuart, FL 34994 RE: Zoning Verification 3402 SE Inlet Harbor Trail PCN: 373841002000000200 Record ID: GMD2019010024 Dear Mr. McCarthy: Thank you for your recent inquiry concerning property in unincorporated Martin County. You requested zoning and/or development standards associated with the zoning district designation for the identified property. The following information is based upon the questions you asked. The property has the following future land use designation as found on the Martin County Future Land Use Map: Residential Estate Density, allowing two units per acre. The property has the following zoning district designation as found on the Martin County Zoning Atlas: WE-1, Residential Waterfront Estate District. The development standards for WE-1 Zoning are: SETBACKS FRONT: 50 feet from the centerline of the local street pursuant to Table 3.12.2, Footnote (g) Land Development Regulations, Martin County, Fla. (2016) and Section 3.16.C., LDR, Martin County, Fla. (2002); SIDES: 15 feet for a 1 story or 2 story structure; REAR: 50 feet from the mean high water line; MAX HEIGHT: 25 feet/two stories MAX BUILDING COVERAGE: 25 percent of the total lot; OPEN SPACE: 50 percent of the total lot; McCarthy January 9, 2019 Page 2 of 2 gmd2019L184.docx Section 4.911.C.5., LDR, Martin County, Fla. (2002) does permit equal or larger building parcels to be created from Lots 1, 2 and parts of Lots 3 and 4 of the Inlet Harbor plat. Section 4.5.A., LDR, Martin County, Fla (2018) states the shoreline protection zone may be altered for certain lots of record. The text provides the following statement of intent. “It is not the intent of this section (4.5.) that this subsection A. be used in conjunction with a division of a lot of record into more than one lot.” A single pre 1982 lot of record was not split into two building parcels. Lots 1, 2 and parts of Lots 3 and 4 of the Inlet Harbor plat (all lots of record platted before 1982) were reconfigured to make two building parcels. Additionally, the 1997 reconfiguration of Lots 1, 2 and parts of Lots 3 and 4 of the Inlet Harbor plat did not facilitate the location of the existing structures at 3342 SE Inlet Harbor Trail. The existing structures were constructed in 1958, based upon Property Appraiser’s records. The configuration of that part of Lots 2, 3 and 4 (as currently shown) represents a lot of record created prior to April 1, 1982. Section 4.5.A.2., LDR, Martin County, Fla (2018) allows a reduction to the shoreline protection zone (SPZ). No survey was provided to compare the 1958 structures with all of the development standards required by the WE-1 zoning district, assigned in 1967. However, it does appear the primary and accessory structures are legally nonconforming with the 50 foot setback to the centerline of the local street and the 50 foot setback from the mean high waterline required by the WE-1 zoning district.
