NEW BUSINESS:
I. Application for Variance filed by JoAnn Agosta to allow an
arbor-type structure to remain on the property located at 702
Cavalla Road.
Ms. Agosta introduced herself to the board and explained the
reasons the Variance was requested. She explained that her
daughter resided at the residence and due to a serious health
problem the arbor-type structure allows her to venture outside
the building.
After discussion, Mr. McGowan moved to approve the variance for
as long as the daughter resides at the property. Mr. Frohwein
seconded the motion and it was unanimously passed.
II. Application for Variance filed by Dorothy and Stan Jones to
park a motor home in the front yard setback of property located
at 2051 Seminole Road.
Mr. Jones introduced himself to the board and stated the reasons
a variance was being requested. He explained that the motor home
had been parked in said location for several years in violation
of the codes of the City and there had been no complaints until
recently. He stated he had filed an application to construct a
new residence on Beach Avenue and he would be able to move the
motor home to the new location and bring the violation into
compliance.
Also present at the meeting were Windsor Bissell, Warren
Anderson, individually, and on behalf of Dr. L. A. Masters, Becky
Church and several other residents of the community who voiced
objections to the application.
After discussion, Mr. McGowan moved to approve a limited variance
permitting the parking of the motor home at its current location
for 3 months during which time Mr. Jones will be constructing his
new home and would then move the motor home to the new location.
This item will become an automatic agenda item at the November
meeting. Mr. Frohwein seconded the motion and the motion was
passed unanimously.
III. Application for Variance to construct an addition that
encroaches the rear yard setback requirements at Roberts Temple
Church located at 75 Lewis Street.
Carl Howell, deacon at Roberts Temple Church, introduced himself
to the board and explained that the Church needed the extra space
for seating purposes. He stated that many members were now
standing. He also advised that constructing the addition
elsewhere would further reduce the available parking on-site.
After discussion, Mr. Frohwein moved to approve the variance as
applied for, Ms. Fillmore seconded the motion and the motion was
passed by a vote of 3 - 1.
IV. Application for Variance filed by William H. Morris to
construct an addition to a non-conforming structure at property
located at 1433 Beach Avenue.
Mr. Morris introduced himself to the Board and explained why the
variance was being requested. Specifically, Mr. Morris requested
to retain the bathroom which encroaches the side yard setback.
He presented pictures and plans to the Board.
After discussion, the Chairman moved to deny the application, Mr.
Frohwein seconded the motion which failed by a tie vote.
After further discussion, Mr. McGowan moved to approve the
application, Ms. Fillmore seconded the motion and it was passed
by a vote of 3 - 1.
V. Application for Variance filed by Michael Rinaldi and Sophia
Winter to allow construction of an 8-foot privacy wall at
property located at 155 Oceanwalk Drive South.
Mr. Rinaldi introduced himself to the Board and explained that
the reason the variance was being requested was that he had
redesigned the construction and footprint of the home on the
property to comply with the request of the Tree Board to save
several trees. He presented to the Board a letter from the
Homeowners Association consenting to the variance.
Chuck Hardman introduced himself to the Board and stated he was
the builder and explained that the wall would be constructed to
conform with the construction of the home and would be an
attractive addition to the neighborhood.

Fillmore seconded the motion and the motion failed by a tie vote.

variance as requested, Mr. McGowan seconded the motion and it

OLD BUSINESS:
Mr. Frohwein brought up the subject of a previous variance that
had been denied and presented a plan for proposed construction
which involved encroachment of side yard setback line.
City Attorney Jensen stated that the Board could adopt rules to
govern proceedings which could contain a method to reconsider a
previously denied application. He stated that the item should be
on the agenda and properly noticed.
There being no further business to come before the board, on
motion made and seconded the meeting was adjourned.
