Re: Proposed addition to existing Garage Apartment located at 1879 Beach Avenue
Dear Eric:
I have reviewed the information and conceptual plan you submitted for the second-story addition
to the existing Garage Apartment at 1879 Beach Avenue. These plans appear to be consistent
with the City's Land Development Regulations with respect to height and permitted location. Be
sure that your contractor or engineer includes calculations for the Calculated Average Grade and
depicts this on construction plans when those are submitted to the Building Department for
review and permitting. Also, you should confirm whether or not a FDEP permit will be required
for the proposed construction. It appears that a small portion of the addition extends seaward of
the Coastal Construction Control Line. Also, please review enclosed Section 24-88, as the
Garage Apartment regulations have changed a bit since we last discussed your plans for this
addition several years ago. Please feel free to contact me at 247-5826 or by e-mail at
sdoerr@coab.us with any further questions.
Sincerely,

Sec. 24-88. Garage Apartments (as allowed in combination with Private Garages).
In any residential Zoning District, where a Lot has a width of fifty (50) feet or more and extends from
Street to Street (or Street to Ocean front in the case of ocean-front Lots), a single Garage Apartment in
combination with a Private Garage may be constructed on such double frontage Lots (See Section 24-84.)
subject to the following provisions.
(a) The Structure containing the Private Garage and the Garage Apartment shall not exceed twenty-five
(25)feet in height.
(b) The total Floor Area of the Structure containing the Private Garage and the Garage Apartment shall
not exceed seventy-five(75)percent of the heated and cooled area of the Principal Dwelling.
(c) There shall be not less than twenty (20) feet between the Principal Dwelling and the Structure
containing the Private Garage and the Garage Apartment.
(d) The Use restrictions and the minimum Yard requirements that apply to the Principal Dwelling shall
also apply the Structure containing the Private Garage and the Garage Apartment.
(e) A Garage Apartment shall not be leased or rented for less than ninety(90)consecutive days.
(f) A Structure containing a Private Garage and a Garage Apartment shall remain in joint ownership with
the Principal Dwelling and shall not be subdivided from the Lot on which the Principal Structure is
located.
(g) Any existing Structure containing a Private Garage and Garage Apartment that is encroaching into the
public Right-of-way shall not be rebuilt, enlarged, remodeled or structurally altered unless such
encroachment is removed from the Right-of-way. A Private Garage and Garage Apartment, which
does not encroach into the Street Right-of-way, may be rebuilt, remodeled or structurally altered
within the existing footprint, or in compliance with applicable minimum Yard Requirements,
provided that the maximum Height of Building shall not be exceeded and subject to applicable
permitting requirements.
(h) Development of Garage Apartments occurring after the initial effective date of these Land
Development Regulations shall be consistent with the Density limitations as set forth within the
adopted Comprehensive Plan, as may be amended.
