NO. 05-99-62. REQUEST SUBMITTED BY ROBERT C. PATEK, FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 4217 S. OCEAN BLVD. , TO CONSTRUCT A RAISED BALCONY/PATIO
OFF THE NORTH BREAKFAST ROOM, REDUCING THE SIDE YARD SETBACK.
• SEEKING RELIEF FROM TOWN CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 30 [ZONING],
RML SECTION 4.3(e)(5). (LOT, YARD, AND BULK REGULATIONS.)
REQUIRED SIDE YARD SETBACK: TWENTY (20) FEET FOR A TWO STORY HOME.
REQUESTING: A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A RAISED BALCONY/PATIO OFF THE
NORTH SIDE BREAKFAST ROOM SLIDER WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY SIX (6)
FEET ABOVE GRADE. THE SIDE YARD SETBACK WOULD BE REDUCED FROM THE
REQUIRED TWENTY (20) FEET TO TWO (2) FEET AT THE BALCONY/PATIO.
EXISTING RESIDENCE IS AT A TWELVE (12) FOOT SETBACK.
Mr. Patak presented his case to the Board, stating that at the time
he purchased this home many items had not been left unfinished, one
being the issue whereby sliding glass doors from his breakfast room
open to a six foot drop to the ground. He would like to construct
a raised balcony/deck off the sliders, for usage as same, for
safety reasons and to obstruct an unsightly view of neighbor's
property.
After plans were reviewed, Chairman Niehoff recessed the meeting at
9:45 to conduct a site visit. The Board reconvened at 10:15 a.m,
with the Chairman setting the date of June 9 at 9:30 a.m. for the
