BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
PUBLIC HEARING - MINUTES
Tuesday, September 8, 1992 9:30 A.M.
Chairman Harold B. Cohen called this Public Hearing to order in Commis-
sion Chambers at 9:30 A.M.
Deputy Town Clerk Doris Trinley called the roll. Present were the
Chairman, Vice Chairman David Augenstein and Members Robert F. Selby,
Benjamin Cohen and Richard C. Seguso. Members Jane Rayner and Daniel
C. Stump were absent.
Also present were Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney, Building Official Lee
Leffingwell and members of the general public.
Petition 7-92-46. Submitted by Richard Mendelson. Seeking Relief for
Side Setback from 20' to 20.22' at 1124 Highland Beach Dr., Unit #1.
Town Code Chapter 30, Section 4.3
Chairman Cohen noted that a Workshop Meeting was held on August 21
during which the members and Town Attorney Carol Sullivan had made a
physical inspection of the site. After it had been determined that the
required legal ads had been published and receipts for certified
mailings had been received, the Chairman announced that the Board met
today to hear any interested parties and to reach a decision.
Representing the owner, Skip Jackman was sworn in to explain the
reasons why this request for variance represented hardship. In order
to construct a second story, it would be structurally sound to maintain
loading points above the existing pilings. In addition, because of the
irregular configuration of the lot, it made it impossible to conform to
the sideline requirments. He noted that the project was approximately
80°s in conformance with Code and it was only the southeast corner that
was in violation of ordinances.
Mr. Andrej Martinovic of 4204 Tranquility Dr. questioned the possi-
bility of obstructed air flow should a second story be allowed on Unit
1 of the structure, but after discussing the project and reviewing the
plans, he had no objections.
There were no other persons to be heard from and discussion among the
members concluded with a MOTION by MR. AUGENSTEIN/MR. BENJAMIN COHEN
to grant the variance, which met with unanimous approval.
If no Petitions for Variance are submitted beforehand, it was announced
the next meeting of the Board will be a Quarterly, scheduled for
October 20 at 9:30 A.M.
