Building Official Michael Desorcy—This item is for consideration of construction of
a new single family residence at 4101 South Ocean Boulevard. Seadar Builders is
here representing the property owners. The architect is also here to speak on the
owner's behalf, if required. The house is three stories with a garage level fourth
floor. On November 2, 2015, the Building Department received a notice to proceed
from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. After review of all the
construction documents and supporting application material it was found that the
single family residence is in compliance with all of the codes of Highland Beach.
There is nothing special about the house other than it looks really good. It's big.
There is nothing going on the roof, no elevators on the roof, no mechanical
equipment, no antennas, no satellite dishes,nothing remarkable.
Member Clark—That's the way we like it.
Member Svenstrup—How much are they going to be paying in taxes? B.O. Desorcy
—I could not tell you.

MOTION: Member Mart moved to approve the 2016 meeting schedule as presented.
Member Axelrod seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
At this time, Deputy Town Clerk Robinson notified the Board about proposed
Ordinance No. 15-008 O and offered the following: the ordinance is scheduled for a
second reading on January 5, 2016; the Town Commission wishes to clarify how
meetings may be called therefore all meetings of the Planning Board shall be held at
the call of the Town Manager. Vice Chair Mendelson — How is that different from
what we are doing? Deputy Town Clerk Robinson — It is clarifying what we have
been doing as the ordinance wasn't written that way. Vice Chair Mendelson — How
was the ordinance written? Town Attorney Shutt — It's an overall clarification for all
of the boards to provide that if there is no business then there is no need for the board
to meet. As far as the way things are working, I don't think there is any change in
anything because if you don't have any business you do not meet and if you do have
business then the Town Manger directs staff to schedule a meeting for the Planning
Board on the second Wednesday of whatever month it is. It is just a clarification.
There is no change in actual operation.
