PLANNING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES
Wednesday. Mav 13. 1992 9:30 A.M.
Vice Chairman Arthur R. Keller called the Regular Meeting to order in
Commission Chambers at 9:30 A.M.
Deputy Town Clerk Doris Trinley called the roll. Present were the Vice
Chairman and Members Leonard D. Bell, Frank L. Colarullo and James F.
Morrill. Chairman Robert L. Lowe was absent, as were members Paul R.
Kane, Jr. and William Maltz.
Also present were Building Official Harry Heithaus and members of the
general public.
To accommodate Mr. Morrill's schedule, Vice Chairman Keller amended the
agenda to go directly to New Business.
NEW BUSINESS
Preliminary Review for Addition to Existing Single Family Residence at
4205 S. Ocean Blvd., Lot 34E. Submitted by Jean Ellis (Owner).
Ms. Ellis told the members her plans called for the addition of one
artist's studio -type room to be built over the kitchen area of the
existing one-story residence (east side). She said only basin and
toilet facilities would be installed and advised there was no provision
for the room to be air conditioned; sliding glass doors would front the
east side.
Building Official Heithaus explained that since Ms. Ellis had drawn the
plans herself, he had worked closely with her to ensure they met all
Code requirements, which had been accomplished. He also advised that
should the members so decide, final approval could be given at this
time. The Board also ascertained that it would be Mr. Heithaus' re-
sponsibility to ensure all engineering requirements were met.
Along with plans, Ms. Ellis presented a photograph which allowed the
members to see where the addition would be placed.
Discussion regarding square footage was finally approximated to be 144
sq. ft. It was also determined that an outside stairway leading up to
the room will be built over an existing stairway.
Concluding review Mr. Bell/Mr. Morrill, having previously moved with no
objection for final review, made the following MOTION, which met with
unanimous favorable vote:
THE PLANNING BOARD GIVES FINAL APPROVAL TO PLANS FOR
ADDITION TO EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 4205
BLVD., LOT 34E; SUBMITTED BY JEAN ELLIS (OWNER).

Regular Meeting - Minutes

Vice Chairman Keller then called for approval of Minutes of the
March 11 Regular Meeting and Mr. Bell asked for clarification regarding
that portion which had to do with Southern Standard Building Code's
revised requirements for swimming pools and how same related to the
Planning Board. Mr. Heithaus advised that the Town Commission had re-
cently voted to adopt this section in the form of a Town Ordinance,
with the exception of enclosures. Since the Town is bounded by the
ocean and the Intracoastal and other smaller canals, he said, the Town
Commission felt enclosures would fall under the responsibility of
individual property owners. Concluding discussion, it was agreed that
the Planning Board need not pursue this issue further.
Upon MOTION by Mr. Bell/Mr. Morrill, the Minutes of the March 11
Regular Meeting were unanimously approved.
There being no further business to come before the Board at this time,
the meeting was adjourned by Mr. Bell/Mr. Colarullo at 9:55 A.M.
