Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes Aueust 10,2016 Page 3 of 5 Staff's Presentation: Building Official Kevin Singlet/—Application 38982 is for site approval for the property located at 2912 South Ocean Blvd., TH3, in Highland Beach, Florida. The applicant submitted a site plan review to install a 7,000 lb.elevator style jet-ski lift,on an existing dock at the subject property which is in the RML (Residential Multi-Family) zoning district.The Building Official has reviewed the submitted documents and found that the installation meets the requirements of the Town of Highland Beach Code of Ordinances, Section 30-68(h). Providing that the Planning Board approves the application, the Building Department has no objection to the installation of the required jet-ski lift. Board's Questions: Member Reidenberg— The concern I have is the way the language is written in the document. It appears that the Planning Board is first approving the application before the recommendation. The better way of doing this is to have the recommendation come before the Planning Board approval language. "The Building Official has no objection to the installation of the requested jet-ski lift,providing the Planning Board approves the application." Town Attorney Shutt—The language is used by the Building Official. We will make the suggested changes to all future reports. Vice Chair Mendelson—What is the commonality of the dock? Applicant David Nutter—With Boatlifts and Docks of South Florida representing the contractor and property owner.It is at a multi-family residential site and the dock is the common dock used by the entire multi-family community. It is a common dock for them and they have approved this particular property owner to install a boat lift on their dock. Vice Chair Mendelson—So whatever internal condominium documents or rules have been approved.Applicant Nutter—If there are certain rules or restrictions,the property owner will have to maintain it. Member Svenstrup—With regards to the contractor who is going to be installing the docks,as far as the Army Corp of Engineers did we receive the DEP? Applicant Nutter— We received the DEP from the Army Corp of Engineers. Member Reidenberg—I noticed in the letter from Florida Department of Environmental Protection,Paragraph three says the"SPGP is not approved." Applicant Nutter—The DEP pernmit includes three reviews. The first review includes whether they approve it or not approve it. The second review refers to whether it is on state-owned lands or not. It is either approved or not necessary. The third review,the SPGP basically means whether the Army Corp of Engineers allows the DEP to issue on their behalf. Then,if it is not approved there should be a DEP permit in addition to the Army Corp of Engineers permit. Member Reidenberg—On the letter from the Department of Army of April 18th it says that there has to be compliance with requirements of the National Flood Insurance program according to their letter, is that correct? Applicant Nutter— I am not sure. Member Reidenberg — It says that you should contact your local office that issues building permits to determine if the site is located in a flood-prone area and that you must Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes August 10,2016 Page 4 of 5 comply with the local building requirements mandated by the National Flood Insurance Program.Property Owner Mario Ponczek—The association has a flood insurance policy and I have my own private flood insurance policy as well. Vice Chair Mendelson—At the building permit stage that will have to be looked at and complied with when they get their building permit. Applicant Nutter—That will be part of the code and regulations we have to conform to. Vice Chair Mendelson asked if there were any comments from the public. Public Comments: Member Reidenberg—The Building Department should have a copy of the documents that is referring to the flood insurance policy. Vice Chair Mendelson—That is dealt with by the fact that we direct the Building Department to follow the rules for the building permit. At this level, the Board the use of it and they then follow through with the building department requirements. Town Attorney Shutt—If he complies with the building code,that is all we can require him to do. Then,the next step would be for him to obtain a permit from the building department. Vice Chair Mendelson closed the Public Hearing. Vice Chair Mendelson called for a motion on this issue. MOTION: Member Mart moved to approve application No. 38982, subject property located at 2912 S.Ocean Blvd.as presented. Motion was seconded by Member Weiss.
