Chairman James F. Niehoff called the Workshop Meeting to order in
Commission Chambers at 10:30 A.M.
Deputy Town Clerk Jane Dillon called the roll. Present were
Chairman James F. Niehoff, Vice Chair Victor P. Hadeed and Members
Leonard Bell, Barbara Kane and Horace Leng. Betty Jane Hofstadter
and new member Catherine Friedenreich were absent. Town Attorney
Thomas Sliney, Building Official Bob Dawson and members of the

Chairman Niehoff stated that this was a Workshop Meeting to review
the following Petition for Variance, of which the Chair read into
the record.
NO. 05-99-63. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY EVELYN KROLL FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 4201 S. OCEAN BLVD., TO DEMOLISH EXISTING RESIDENCE AND
CONSTRUCT A NEW SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. SEEKING RELIEF FROM TOWN
• CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 30 [ZONING], SECTION 13.7 (b) (BUILDING
HEIGHT EAST OF AlA.)
REQUESTING: A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AT A
GREATER OVERALL HEIGHT THAN IS ALLOWED BY TOWN CODE.
Attorney Michael Kottler stated that Mr. Dorenzo is in the process
of purchasing subject home from Mrs. Kroll. There was very lengthy
discussion regarding as to where the foundation of the home should
be measured from, which would determine it's overall height. The
plans reflect the garage level as having no habitable space,
therefore measuring the height of the home from a different aspect.
Mr. Kottler stated that the State of Florida has set new guidelines
for measuring at the dune, which would create a non-conformance
issue with the Town's code.
Photos were shown of neighboring homes which are non-conforming and
applicant feels he should be entitled to build a home similar in
height/size to these.
After review of plans, Chairman Niehoff stated that a Public
Hearing would be held on June 9 at 2:30 p.m., and recessed the
meeting at 11:25 a.m. to conduct a site visit. Chairman reconvened
the meeting at 11:55 and adjourned at 11:56 a.m.
