Discuss three (3) Rule Changes Below (red is the additions)

Rule Change #1. Boat lift height change. The proposes change to boat lifts will help with getting on and off your boat from the side so you will not be hitting your head on the bottom of the lift as well as your view while standing on the seawall. Please think about this change as to help with new boat lifts. In most cases this will give you 6 to 6 1/2 feet under the lift

Current Rule:
The Board reserves the right to limit dock size according to the lot size. A smaller lot will require a smaller dock. Dock dimensions are a maximum of 60 square feet including steps, centered between lot lines and must not extend more than 5 feet from the seawall, excluding the pilings. Lift height is a maximum of 8 feet above the top of the seawall, including the motor, lift mechanism, and pilings.

Change is in red below
Lift height is a maximum of 8 feet above the top of the seawall, including the motor, lift mechanism, and pilings.

Rule Change #2. Side setbacks for stairs: This rule change is to address the side setback on stairs in relationship to the side lot line.

Current Rule
4.a. Rectangular lots:
iii. Side setback: 10% of the front lot width, measured 15 feet back from the road.
iv. The side setback on rectangular lots is 5 feet due to the Lee County Fire Separation Rules. The   intent of this 5 foot setback is not to be more restrictive on our members regarding the setbacks. Our 10% setback remains except when a member is putting a new home in on a vacant lot with a vacant lot beside it, we are requiring the 5-foot setback so that when the member beside that member puts a home in, the county doesn’t require the second member to have a 6-foot setback. In the case where the county allows an exception to the 10-foot separation requirement due to the fire code such as in the case of a firewall or any other exception that the county may allow in regard to the 10-foot separation rule, PCC will default back to the 10% setback.

b. Pie shaped lots:
iii. Side setback in the front: 10% of the front lot width, measured 15 feet back from the road.
iv. Side setback in the rear: 10% of the lot width, measured 10 feet from the rear lot line.

Rule Change by adding one exception
4. c.     This rule change is to address the side setback on stairs in relationship to the side lot line.

If approved by Lee County and the stairs meet the fire code regulation of sustaining a 1 hour fire resistance rating as noted in “69A-42.0041 Fire Separation Requirements, stairs can come within 3 feet of the side lot line with approval of the site change committee. The site change committee working with the member will make the decision of where the stairs can be placed so as not to cause a restriction with the neighboring lot and structures.
 
In addition, the Board of Directors reserves the right to make further allowances on the side setback for stairs where it is in the best interest of the community as a whole and it does not cause an issue with the neighboring lot. Any exceptions to the 3ft setback must be approved by the board of directors at the recommendation of the site change committee.
 
In all cases all setback exceptions must be approved and noted on a Lee County Building permit.

Rule Change #3: Pertaining to New Homes

Existing Side Setback Rules
4.a. Rectangular lots:
