NEW BUSINESS :
I . Application for Variance filed by Jennifer Barden to reduce the
required side yard setback lines from 15 feet to 12 feet to
construct a single family residence at property known as Lot 6 ,
Block 8 , Ocean Grove Unit No . 1 .
Carol Wanstall introduced herself to the board and stated she is
the mother of Jennifer Barden and was representing her daughter .
She stated that the applicants felt that the value of the lot was
decreased due to numerous townhomes or zero lot line construction
in the immediate area and by constructing a single family home it
would increase the value of other properties .
Neighbors , Wayne Parrish and Bob Byron, introduced themselves to
the board and expressed their concerns in granting the variance.
After discussion , Mr . McGowan moved to deny the variance . Mr .
Frohwein seconded the motion and the variance was denied by a vote
of 6 - 1 with the nay vote from Mr . Fletcher .

of Christie A. Brooks and Alex S. Limbaugh to construct a storage
building addition at property located at 41 West Second Street .

applicants desired to construct a storage facility attached to
their existing nonconforming building and that the new construction
would conform to all current setback requirements .
Mr . Brooks stated that the trailer presently at the property may
be used as a construction trailer during construction but would be
removed upon completion.
After discussion, Mr . McGowan moved to grant the variance as
requested . Mrs . Pillmore seconded the motion and the variance was
unanimously granted.
OLD BUSINESS:
I . Discussion and related action on the reconsideration of the
application by Edward Morin for a variance to install a 6-foot
fence in the front building setback area of his property at 1849
Seminole Road .
Mr . Worley explained that Mr . Morin appealed the decision of this
board to deny his variance . Due to a tie vote in the denial the
City Commission deferred action and asked that the matter be taken
back to this board for an opportunity to take more definitive
action with full seated membership .
Mr . Jensen stated that the Commission sent the matter back to the
Community Development Board at his suggestion.
After discussion, Mr . Frohwein moved to reconsider the variance
request . Mrs . Pillmore seconded the motion and the motion for
reconsideration was unanimously passed .
Mr . Worley read the amended motion brought back by the vote for
reconsideration which is as follows :
"Mrs . Pillmore moved to grant the variance for the fence as
proposed being 6-feet in height running from just off his property
line north, being 8-foot short of his original request and that Mr .
Morin need not report back to the board with his findings regarding
the acoustic fence and that the fence be completed within 60 days . "
