the minutes were approved.
NEW BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by Roger W. Olson to enlarge an attached
structure at property located at 817 Amberjack Lane.
Roger Olson introduced himself to the board and explained that he desired to
enlarge an existing nonconforming storage area from 6' x 10' to 10' x 12' . He
stated the nonconformance of the structure existed when he purchased the property
and the construction would not encroach further toward the rear lot line than the
existing nonconformance.
After discussion, Mr. McGowan moved to grant the variance as requested. Mrs.
Walker seconded the motion and the variance was granted by a vote of 4 ayes and
1 nay by the Chairman who stated he saw no hardship.
II. Application for Variance filed by Rallis L. Pappas to permit an existing
tree house at property located at 93 Oceanside Drive.
Mrs. Pappas introduced herself to the board and explained that the tree house was
constructed in the side yard of the residence without being aware that a permit
was required and that the structure encroached the side yard setback. The
property is located on a corner lot and the side yard setback is fifteen feet.
Mrs. Pappas presented photographs to the board of the tree house.
After discussion, Mr. McGowan moved to grant the variance. Mrs. Simpkins
seconded the motion and the variance was granted by a vote of 3 ayes and 2 nays.
The board decided to meet at 6:00 on June 18, 1996 just prior to the regular
meeting to discuss the proposed amendments to the zoning codes. Mr. Worley
stated he would confirm said meeting before that time.
The board discussed hardship and expressed its desire to stress its definition
and usage in the variance process.
There being no further business to come before the board on motion duly made the
meeting was adjourned.
