MINUTES OF TOWN COMMISSION MEETING
PUBLIC HEARING/SPECIAL MEETING
Tuesday, July 25, 2000 2.30 P.M.
Mayor Thomas J. Reid called the second advertised Public Hearing/Special Meeting to
order in Commission Chambers at 2:30 P.M. advising its purpose was to receive public
input on the final draft of amended zoning code (Chapter 30) and consider adoption of
same:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING
A ZONING CODE, AFFIRMING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE TOWN,
WHICH WAS PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED, AND PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION.
Town Clerk Doris Trinley called the roll. The Mayor, Vice Mayor Michael W. Hill, and
Commissioners John J. Sorrelli, Paul R. Kane and Robert L. Lowe were present.
Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney, Planning Consultant Marty Hodgkins, and Building
Official Bob Dawson were also present, as were members of the general public; Town
Manager Ben Saag was absent.
Attorney Sliney requested the Clerk to give final reading to the ordinance, which was
done. It was also noted for the record that the first reading was July 5 and it was
published on July 14.
There were no public comments.
The Mayor and Commissioners Sorrelli, Kane and Lowe had no comments.
Vice Mayor Hill suggested a revision of text to Section 8/Supplemental District
Regulations/" P" ('Roof Overhangs'); (1) 'Permitted overhangs' as follows:
".....In addition, overhangs for bay windows, canopies, awnings, chimneys, and
similar features may extend not more than four feet 4#0 over setbacks or
yards......" ..........
After some discussion, and on advice of Attorney Sliney that this did not represent a
substantive change, it was the consensus that the text be amended to include the Vice
Mayor's request.
When asked by the Mayor for his comments, Planning Board Chairman Al Bresnahan
replied that except for allowable building height for single family units, which was
previously addressed by the Planning Board and the Commission, the Planning Board
recommended adoption of the code as presented in the final draft.

It was noted that all references to the Community Appearance Board were eliminated in
this proposed ordinance amending Chapter 30 (Zoning); however, Attorney Sliney
advised that because it is identified in Chapter 2 of the Town Code (Administration,
Article IV, Section 2-76), and the likelihood that references to it may be found in other
chapters as well, an amendment to Town Code would be necessary to dissolve the
Community Appearance Board.
Before the vote was taken, Attorney Sliney advised it would be prudent to include in the
Motion that Staff be given the authority to correct obvious errors in the text, i.e., typing
mistakes, etc.
MOTION was then made by COMMISSIONER SORRELLINICE MAYOR HILL, to
include Attorney Sliney's suggestion regarding obvious errors, that the proposed
ordinance amending Chapter 30 be approved. Motion was followed by unanimous
favorable roll call vote.
There being no further business to come before the Commission at this time, Mayor reid
adjourned the advertised Public Hearing/Special Meeting at 2:50 P.M. upon MOTION by
COMMISSIONER SORRELLI/COMMISSIONER KANE.
