NEW BUSINESS Preliminary Review for Installation of Two (2) Dolphins at 1015 Bel Air Dr., (Casa del Lago Assoc., Inc.), Block 1, Lot 3, Bel Lido. Submitted by David Devaux. Cheryl Cribbet of Cribbets Estate Management, Inc., represented Mr. Devaux and answered members' questions. She said the dolphins were being requested because the property was located near the Intracoastal Waterway where a "No Wake" zone was not imposed and, therefore, they were necessary to ensure the safety of Mr. Devaux's boat. She noted the boat was a 58' Bertram, with a 20' beam, which was not now docked at the property. As required by Code, she also gave the Recording Secretary receipts of certified mailings she had made to all property owners within 1000 feet of the property, saying such were determined based on a map provided her by the Building Department. Ms. Cribbet presented the map to the members for information purposes. Regarding existing dolphins, Ms. Cribbet said the property to the west had them; the property directly east did not; the next grouping of residences to the east does have them. She also said that probably any boat to be docked at the property would most likely be between 40' to 58'. !Gerald Marshall, a resident of Bel Lido and President of the Bel Lido Homeowners' Association, next addressed the Board, expressing concern regarding eventual maneuverability of boats in this 80' wide canal if all property owners desired to install dolphins. He mentioned being aware of two vacant properties on which the owner was supposedly .

He also asked for actual dimensions as to placement of the dolphins now being requested, noting that if the dock was 6' in width, the pins would be out at least 22' into the canal. Stating that while he was empathetic to the request, Mr. Marshall said that if everyone on this canal had dolphins installed, there would be no maneuverable space for any boats. Digressing from the matter at hand, he also informed the members that as far as Town Code is con- cerned, he interpreted there is no legislation on the books to prevent an owner from docking a boat in a "fore and aft" position, with the stern jutting out in the water, rather than parallel docking. Fie sug- gested this might be addressed in the future. Building Official Heithaus noted the drawings submitted by B.K. Marine only referenced the positioning of the dolphins by "two little red dots," and did not include actual dimensions. After further substantial discussion, it was the CONSENSUS of the Board to table this request, since not enough information was available for a preliminary review. It was also noted that at this time it had not been ascertained if the certified mailings were sent to all affected property owners, as well as the consideration that those who had re- Ioceived them might not have had enough time to respond if they were not n residence at the time of the mailings. The members advised the applicant's representative that they would require plans from B.K. Marine to 1/4" scale in order to give the project a preliminary review. It was also noted that because a review was not given at this time, the applicant's $200 fee would be credited to the next meeting. Preliminary Review for Conversion of Garage to Playroom at 1133 Boca Cove Lane, Lot 15S (Enclaves of Boca Cove). Submitted by Lisa & Jeff Miller (Owners) . George Sparling told the members he was representing Mr. & Mrs. ;Miller today as their builder. He said the project had been undertaken so the Miller children could have a playroom on the ground floor of the town- house, thus enabling their mother to keep a watchful eye on their ac- tivities. Mr. Heithaus noted that the facade of the garage would remain unchanged and required elevations had been met. Regarding Town code requirements which call for two (2) sparking spaces per dwelling unit, he advised another space in a guest parking area had been allowed the Millers by their Association. A copy of a letter to the Millers regarding the project had been pro- vided to the Board and the Chairman read it into the record; however, 0 Planning Board Regular Meeting - Minutes Wember 11, 1991 Paqe 3 of 4 Attorney Zeilberger advised its contents had only to do with the Millers and their Association and had no effect on the Planning Board. After some further discussion Mr. Keller/Colarullo made the following MOTION, which met with unanimous approval: THE PLANNING BOARD GIVES FINAL APPROVAL TO PLANS FOR CONVERSION OF GARAGE TO PLAYROOM AT 1133 BOCA COVE LANE, LOT 15S (ENCLAVES OF BOCA COVE), SUB- MITTED BY LISA AND JEFFREY MILLER (OWNERS); JAMES E.

Site Plan Approval Expired June 1991. Applicant: John D. Conway, Architect, for Ramaglia (Owner). Mr. Conway represented the owner and advised the plans being presented were exactly the same as those previously approved by the Planning Board. He explained that after the previous approval, he had been ad- *sed a permit for the project would be required from the Department of vironmental Resources Management, as well as the Department of Natural Resources, which became standard about this time for any construction 25' westward of the Coastal Construction Control Line. He also advised that permitting from these agencies had taken an entire year to acquire - during which time the site plan approval expired - but were now in place. He reiterated that the plans had not been changed in any way. Mr. Heithaus confirmed Mr. Conway's statements. After some further discussion, Mr. Colarullo/Mr. Keller made the fol- lowing MOTION, which met with unanimous favorable vote: THE PLANNING BOARD GIVES FINAL APPROVAL TO RESUBMITTED PLANS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESI- DENCE AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 4005 S.
