The Chairman. W. Gregg McCaulie, called the meeting to order
and asked for approval of the minutes from the last meeting. Mr.
Howie moved for approval of the minutes, Mr. Frohwein seconded
the motion and the minutes were unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS:
• I. Application for "Use by Exception" filed by Dewey Miller of
Imports Unlimited for property located at 157D Levy Road.
Mr. Miller introduced himself to the Board and stated that he was
requesting a Use by Exception for his business located at 157D
Levy Road. He stated that he had no interest in having a junk
yard at the location and that he was only interested in the
storage of inoperable cars that he had performed work on. He
stated that when customers do not pay him for work performed on
said vehicles that it takes approximately six months to obtain
title to said vehicles which is necessary for proper disposal.
Mr. Frohwein presented a copy of Florida Statutes Section 319. 30
regarding dismantling, destruction, change of identity of motor
vehicles.
After thorough discussion, Mr. Wolfson moved that the Board grant
Mr. Miller the use by exception that would allow him to be in
compliance with the City Code and to adjust his business to the
1990 Florida State law applicable to his situation. Mr. Wolfson
further recommended that Mr. Miller be granted only a temporary
use by exception until the date of June 30, 1991 or four months
and ten days. Mr. McCaulie stated that if Mr. Miller's situation
had not changed by that date that he would be allowed to come
back before the Board at that time. Mr. Wolfson amended the
111 motion to limit the number of vehicles to those already present
at the location. Ms. Gregg seconded the motion and it was
unanimously passed.
• II. Application for Variance filed by Kirk and Bonnie Hansen on
property known as Lot 7, Ocean Breeze.
Mr. Vincent Barbera, representing Mr. and Mrs. Hansen, introduced
himself to the Board and stated that a variance was being sought
to the building height restriction for the construction of a
single family residence. The lot is unique in that it contains a
38 foot high dune immediately to the east of the coastal
construction setback line and a low point just to the west of the
line. This places the front (ocean side) of the house at the
lowest point on the lot with the result being a 35 foot high
house with a 38 foot dune between it and the ocean. The
applicant desired to construct a house 58 feet high to allow the
residence to have a view over the dune from both the main floor
level and the bedroom level.
Mr. Frohwein stated that he would be abstaining from voting due
to a conflict of interest in that as a contractor he had talked
to Mr. and Mrs. Hansen regarding being their builder.
After lengthy and thorough discussion, the Chairman called for a
motion. A motion was made by Mr. Wolfson to deny the
application, seconded by Ms. Gregg and passed by a vote of 5-0
with one abstention.
III. Application for Variance filed by Mr. and Mrs. Edward W.
Lane III for property located at 1735 Beach Avenue.
Mr. Lane introduced himself to the Board and stated that he was
seeking a variance in order to obtain a building permit and
presented a site plan of the existing structure and the addition
sought in his request.
After lengthy discussion a motion was made by Mr. Howie that the
variance be granted, seconded by Mr. Frohwein and unanimously
passed.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
A general discussion was held regarding a notice of meetings as
well as posting a notice at the property site and notification of
adjacent property owners.
Mr. Wolfson moved that any item that is to come before the Board
be published in short form in the newspaper and notice at the
property site with the date of meeting at least seven days before
the next meeting. Mr. McCaulie added that when possible the
address be added to said notices for better identification. The
motion was seconded and unanimously passed.
111 Further discussion followed regarding a use by exception
application approved by the City Commission after a
recommendation of denial by the Board. It was agreed by the
Board that letters be drafted on an individual basis by the
S
members of the Board to the City Commission regarding this
matter.
Mr. Howie moved that each member be limited to three minutes time
for each response in addressing issues before the Board. The
motion was not acted upon.
There being no further business to come before the Board, the
meeting was adjourned.
