NO. 06-94-53. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY ROBERT EISEN, ESQ.
RE 3515 S. OCEAN BLVD., LOT 83E. SEEKING RELIEF FROM
TOWN CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 30 [ZONING), SECTION
4.3 (e) 3, 4, AND 5 [RESIDENTIAL MULTIPLE FAMILY-LOW
DENSITY RML; LOT, YARD AND BULK REGULATIONS).
Deputy Town Clerk Doris Trinley called the roll. Present were the

Members Benjamin Cohen, Richard C. Seguso and Neil W. Burd.
Members Daniel J. Loventhal was absent.
Also present were Building Official Lee Leffingwell, Town Attorney
Thomas E. Sliney and members of the general public.
The Chairman noted no decision on the etition would take lace at
P P
this time; rather the Workshop was being conducted to review plans
and hear testimony, after which the meeting would be recessed to
allow for a physical inspection of the site. It was also advised
that a date for the Public Hearing would be set today.
Attorney Robert A. Eisen, representing both the owner, Manley Boss,
and the contract purchaser, Frank Lahage, then addressed the Board,
using a color-coded drawing to illustrate his presentation. He
explained that at the time the house was built (1950's), it did
meet Code requirements; however, current Code requirements as
regards minimum width of the lot, as well as existing front and
side setback requirements, would now create a hardship for Mr.
Lahage to build on the property as he anticipated (a 2-story single
family residence of approximately 3700 sq.ft.). Therefore, Mr.
Eisen stated, relief from Code was being sought as follows:
WIDTH OF LOT: FROM 80' WIDTH TO 60' WIDTH
SIDEYARD SETBACK: FROM 20' TO 10'
FRONTYARD SETBACK: FROM 40' TO 25'
It was noted that although the Boss residence does now intrude into
the current Coastal Construction Control Line, the proposed
residence would not, i.e., nothing would be constructed seaward of
