TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
WORKSHOP - MINUTES
Frida , Au ust 21, 1992 1:40 P.M.
Chairman Harold B. Cohen called this Workshop Meeting to order in
Commission Chambers at 1:40 P.M., immediately following the Public
Hearing for Petition No. 7-92-46.
Deputy Town Clerk Doris Trinley called the roll. Present were the
Chairman, Vice Chairman David Augenstein and Members Jane Rayner,
Daniel C. Stump and Richard C. Seguso. Members Robert F. Selby and
Benjamin Cohen were absent.
Also present were Town Attorney Carol Sullivan and members of the
general public.
Petition No.7-92-45. Request for Side Setback Variance from 20' to
12.22' at 1124 Highland Beach Drive, Unit #1. Submitted by Richard
Mendelson (Owner). Town Code Chapter 34~, Section 4.3.
Chairman Cohen advised no decision would be made at this meeting; he
also noted that physical inspection of the project would take place
• during this Workshop.
Skip Jackman was sworn in and identified himself as Mr. Mendelson's
representative. The members reviewed the plans as Mr. Jackman ex-
plained the proposed project. He said the building is an existing 3-
unit, with Mr. Mendelson occupying the easterly unit. Plans call for
an addition of a second floor to the unit, extending above the foot-
print of the building for the majority of the project, except on the
north portion at the entry, which calls for a two-story foyer to
accommodate an enclosed stairway.
Mr. Jackman noted that part of the hardship had to do with the resi-
dence being built on pilings and the necessity, therefore, of main-
taining load-bearing points directly above existing pilings.
When review of plans concluded and Chairman Cohen called for the mem-
bers, Ms. Sullivan and Mr. Jackman to proceed to the site for physical
inspection, Mr. Jackman was truly surprised, noting that members of
boards in other communities were relied upon to visit the petition site
individually "sometime prior to the meeting." He said he was impressed
with the procedure followed by the Town's Board and thought it was the
way a meeting of this kind should be conducted.
Meeting was recessed at 1:55 PM, adjourned at 2:20 PM. Public Hearing
on this petition is scheduled for September 8 at 9:30 A.M.
