• BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
ADMINISTRATIVE WORKSHOP MEETING - MINUTES
Thursday, September 29, 1988 1.00 A.M.
The Administrative Workshop Meeting of the Board of Adjustment, Town of
Highland Beach, Florida, was called to order by Chairman Harold B. Cohen
at 1:00 P.M. in the Commission Chambers at Town Hall.
Present were Chairman Cohen, David Augenstein, Carmine Zeccola, Reese
James, Alternate Member Robert Selby, Mayor Betty Jean Stewart, and
Commissioner Doris R. Rome. Also present were Town Manager Mary Ann
Mariano and Deputy Town Clerk Redawna Bavender.
The purpose of this Workshop Meeting was to continue the review of the
Board of Adjustment Manual.
A discussion took place regarding changing the word "Quarterly" Meetings
to "Regular" Meetings in order to give the Board more flexibility when
reviewing and acting on a variance. It was the sense of the Board that
the Board should meet at the call of the Chairman, not less frequently
than every three months in order to maintain the continuity of the Board
itself. The Board also decided that in order to tie up the entire
variance package, a meeting should be called after a Public Hearing to
•approve the minutes.
It was the opinion of Mayor Stewart and Commissioner Rome that the
appearance of the Building Official for the purpose of giving the Status
of Building Developments in Town was no longer necessary at Board of
Adjustment Meetings.
The Board of Adjustment Manual and Operating Procedures were reviewed.
Several additions, deletions and revisions were made and will be
reflected in the next draft presentation to the Board, Mayor Stewart and
Commissioner Rome.
A discussion took place regarding the recording secretary being present
at the on -site inspections. It was the recommendation of the Town
Manager that inasmuch as the on -site inspection is a continuation of the
meeting, the recording secretary should be present.
Chairman Cohen noted the next meeting of the Board of Adjustment will be
held on October 17, 1988 with the Public Hearing beginning at 1:30 P.M.
and the Quarterly/Regular Meeting to follow. The election of officers
will take place at that time.
Chairman Cohen adjourned the Administrative Workshop Meeting at 3:35
