It was noted that there are adequate roof drains around the perimeter of
the building to take care of any leak.
Chairman Ward stated that he and the Building Official reviewed the
matter of the drainage which is adequate and will drain into the build-
ings drain system. Architect Donelson noted that the required backup
scuppers are in place.
Mr. Keller requested that the architect indicate in a letter that the
supports, drainage and safety requirements for this lap pool, which is
solely for the use of the penthouse, are adequate.
Town Manager Mariano suggested that any MOTION made by the Planning
Board should be made on the contingency of receipt of an appropriate
Resolution fron► the Condominium should include a statement to "hold the
Town harmless" regarding anything that n►ay arise with the lap pool, as
well as an appropriate Resolution from the Architect being received and
approved by out Town Attorney.
It was the consensus of the Planning Board that this matter requires
further study by our Town Attorney. The Members requested Mr. Donelson
produce the necessary Resolution in time for review by the Town Attorney
so that this matter may be scheduled on the Agenda for the Regular
• Planning Board Meeting on October 5, 1988.
Next on the Agenda was the FINAL SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR SATELLITE DISH
ADDITION AT JOHN WYNNE RESIDENCE, 3621 SOUTH OCEAN BOULEVARD (LOT 71

Peter Ince, addressed the Planning Board and explained that the site
plan shows the Satellite Dish will be installed on the Southwest corner
of the structure facing towards the Southwest; it will be approximately
12' high and it will be concealed with landscaping.
It was noted that a cable systen► is included in the residence; however,
Mr. Wynne would like the Satellite Dish to allow for an extra system
that would afford him the opportunity to view the Indiana University
Basketball games. Mr. Ince advised that Mr. Wynne has no intention of
using a de -scrambler with the Dish.
Building Official Hardy advised that the calculations, as provided by
Consulting Engineer Jeff H. Iravani and attached to the site plan, do
satisfy the requirements of the Town Code.
Following the discussion, a MOTION.was made by MR. WALDMAN that, if the
plans are in accordance and meet with the approval of the Building
Official, we approve this satellite installation. The MOTION, seconded
by MR. GREGERSON, carried with favorable votes.

BY ARCHITECT R. WM. CLAYTON, JR.
The Planning Board Members were advised by Architects Winter and Clayton
that the 'Unity of Title Document' for the Di Renzo Property was

before the Planning Board with an amended site plan review application
as they have expanded the house, added a gazebo and relocated the pool.
It was noted that the amendments are within the same setbacks as those
of the original site plans that were previously approved.
Building Official Hardy advised the Members that the submission conforms
with all of the Town Ordinances and there is no problem of any kind.
Town Attorney Friedman noted that the Town Commission has to approve any
'Unity of Title' and any site plan approval would be subject to the Town
• Commission's approval of the 'Unity of Title'.

project would require Community Appearance Board approval of the
Xeriscape Landscaping.

stated that it looks like an adequate form.

Title', they were requested to change the scope of the project. Mr.
Winter noted that they have a permit on the site and they have placed
26 pilings; they have improved the bulkhead and they are ready to go
ahead with the project.

approve this with the proviso that the 'Unity of Title' be approved by
the Town Commission. The MOTION carried with favorable votes being cast
