WORKSHOP MEETING FEBRUARY 12, 1985
The Workshop Meeting of the Board of Adjustment of the Town of High-
land Beach, to examine a Petition for Variance submitted by Kenneth
G. and Ann Roy, was called to order by Chairman Albert Schiff at
1:30 P. M.
Others present were Messrs. Gilbert Lorenz, Harold B. Cohen, Charles
Arbetman and A. M. Fox, Jr. Also in attendance were Town Manager
Hugh D. Williams, Building Inspector Anthony Abbate and Recording
Secretary Anne Kowals.
Absent from the Workshop Meeting were Messrs. Stephen Doig and
Albert Kahler.
Chairman Albert Schiff called on Building Inspector Anthony Abbate
to present the petition.
Mr. Abbate informed the Board Members that he found two violations
on the Roy property. First, the screening around the pool was instal-
led without a permit; and secondly, the rear yard setback was reduced
from 20' to 10'.
Building Inspector Anthony Abbate said when the home was built for
the Roy's, the pool was included in the plans. However, screening
was not part of the plans. The Building Department does not issue
a Certificate of Occupancy unless everything is completed according
to plans that were submitted.
Mr. Anthony Abbate said had the home owner applied for a permit prior
to installing the screening, they would have been told the rear yard
setback was being violated. The Building Department would then have
recommended the home owner file a Petition for a Variance.
The screening which is an upright structure was found to be sound
when Mr. Abbate inspected same.
Members questioned if Highland Beach has an ordinance requiring en-
closures for pools. As pools are an attractive nuisance where
children are concerned, it might be advisable for the Town Commis-
sion to revise the code.
