NO. 05-95-55
Request submitted by Charles Tozzi for property located at 4108 South Ocean Boulevard,
Lot 41 W East, Highland Beach, Florida.
Pursuant to the Town Code of Ordinances, Chapter 30 [zoning], section 5, Supplementary
district regulations, Section 5.2 (B) pools and pool decks. Petitioner is seeking relief from
the twenty-five (25) feet front yard set back to fifteen (15) feet front yard set back in order
to construct a swimming pool and twelve (12) feet front yard set back from the required
twenty (20) feet front yard set back in order to construct a pool deck.
At this time Mr. Charles Tozzi was sworn in. Mr. Tozzi stated he is acting as agent for the
property owner, Mr. Tim O'Connor and has a purchase contract for the property pending
at this time.
He explained that the house is set back from Alternate A 1 A forty feet as per code
requirements, and most of the other lots on Alternate A 1 A are about fifty feet longer than
this particular piece of property. Therefore, the strict adherence to this ordinance would
deprive him of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district and cause
undue hardship.

The Board discussed the possibility of altering the shape of the pool, which may require a
lesser variance.
Concluding review and discussion, Chairman Cohen recessed the meeting at 9:50 A.M. to
allow for a physical inspection of the property, following which meeting was adjourned at
10:25 A.M.
