NEW BUSINESS Preliminary Review for Additions, Remodeling and Partial Demolition of Existing Single Family Home at 2624 S. Ocean Blvd., Lot 122W. Submitted by Arthur Kaye, Owner. Mr. Kaye was invited to address the Board regarding his project and he summarized the work to be done, saying the existing one-story residence would be remodeled into a two-story, with an additional extension of 5' to the rear, resulting in an increase of 927 square feet. Building Official Heithaus was asked to comment and he noted that Mr. Kaye had recently received a variance from the Board of Adjustment to extend 5' in the rear using original side setbacks, 5' being the limit of extension in order to comply with the existing 20' Intracoastal set- back. Substantial discussion then ensued regarding the proposed 5' rear ex- tension meeting the required 20' Intrascoastal setback based on infor- mation attested to in the survey of the property. This distance had been measured by Chairman Hagelmann during a physical inspection of the property and his measurements showed that one side of the property only measured 19' from the Intracoastal setback when the 5' extension was considered. 14 � 0 0 Regular Meeting - Minutes September 11, 1991 Page 2 of 3 Mr. Kaye replied this was the first he had heard of a survey discrep- ancy, saying the property had been surveyed in 1989, with an update in 1991. However, he added that should the survey be incorrect in this regard, he would do whatever necessary to comply with the 20' Intra- coastal setback, extending only 4' if need be. Upon advice from Attorney Zeilberger, it was noted for the record that at the appropriate time in the course of the project, Building Official Heithaus would check to determine if the 20' Intracoastal setback had been complied with; if it had not, then all work would be stopped. It was also noted for the record that this proviso was understood, and agreed to, by the members, the Building Official and Mr. Kaye. The members then convened to the table to review the plans, with the Building Official advising that final approval could be given today if the members so agreed. After review and further discussion, the following MOTION was made on advice of counsel by Mr. Kane/Mr. Bell: THE PLANNING BOARD GIVES PRELIMINARY AND FINAL APPROVAL TO PLANS SUBMITTED FOR ADDITIONS, REMODELING AND PARTIAL DEMO- LITION OF EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 2624 SOUTH OCEAN BLVD., LOT 122W, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT A QUESTION HAS ARISEN TO THE ACCURACY OF A SURVEY DONE IN 1989 AND UP- DATED IN 1991, SPECIFICALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE REAR SETBACK INDICATED THEREIN. THEREFORE, APPROVALS TODAY ARE GRANTED WITH THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING BY THE BOARD AND BY THE APPLI- CANT THAT NOTWITHSTANDING THE QUESTION THAT HAS ARISEN, THE PROJECT WILL BE CONSTRUCTED PURSUANT TO THE 20'REAR SETBACK REQUIREMENT AND THE BUILDING OFFICIAL WILL BE GIVEN THE OP- PORTUNITY TO INSPECT AS CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSES. IF HE DIS- COVERS THAT THE SETBACK IS LESS THAN 20' THEN CONSTRUCTION WILL BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY.
