Chairman Evans called the meeting to order at 5:30 PM.
2. APPROVAL OF PRIOR MEETING MINUTES
A. Minutes No. 06-06– July 13, 2006
Ms. Lewandowski moved to approve Minutes No. 06-06. Mr. Dullaghan seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
3. VARIANCE REQUEST
A. A variance request filed by Lawrence Olson regarding Lot 1, Blk 97, 101 Deland Ave. A variance is being requested to Code Section 17-124(6) – front yards shall be no less than twenty five (25) feet in depth. The effect of the variance, if granted, would be to allow second story decks extending in to the front setback area.
Lawrence Olson, 300 Columbia Dr., Cape Canaveral, owner of the property, stated that he was seeking a variance to replace the second story decks that had been weakened by the hurricanes and damaged by carpenter bees.
He pointed out that the building already extended into the setback area and verified that the proposed decks would be smaller and would not protrude further out than those that were removed.
Steve Fricke, 116 Deland Ave., commended Mr. Olson on the improvements being made and requested clarification that the application was only to replace the pre-existing structures.
Attorney Gougelman asked if that depiction was correct and Mr. Olson replied in the affirmative.
Attorney Gougelman advised the Board that, according to Town Code, they must grant the minimum variance possible.
Mr. Olson verified that the variance was for the second story decks and supports only and indicated that they would not come out beyond the existing staircase.
Mr. Kish moved that the Board approve the variance for two second floor balconies and supporting structures as cited on the survey by AAL Land Surveying Services, Inc., Job # 15142 and dated 11-12-04. Ms. Lewandowski seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
4. ADJOURNMENT
The meeting was adjourned at 6:05 PM.
