OLD/NEW BUSINESS
FINAL REVIEW FOR CONSTRUCTION TRAILER AT 3901 S. OCEAN BLVD.
APPLICANT: SEADAR BUILDERS; OWNER: 3901 DEVELOPMENT, LLC.
• Referencing 3904 (below application), it was noted that these two parcels are considered
one lot split by A1A (3904 West side, 3901 East side). Mr. Olbrych noted that there is
no activity on that lot, and no permit for work on that property. The trailer would be
placed on the property for the construction of the new residence at 3904 S. Ocean. The
applicant owns both parcels. Trailer cannot be placed on 3904 due to the small size,
and trailer would extend to close to roadway. When 3901 is constructed, that same
trailer will be utilized. It was noted that the property needs to be "separated" or it will be
considered to have two houses on one lot. Chair read survey information into record
which shows that the two lots are considered one piece of property.
Mr. Corman noted that a building permit needs to be issued in connection with the
structure. Mr. Corman also said that if materials are to be stored on the trailer site, it
will require Commission approval, as normally materials have to be stored on the
construction site. Mr. Townsend noted that there is no site plan showing the location of
this temporary structure, and would like to see same. He also would like to see a
warranty deed and what was recorded on the document.
MOTION made by MR. HADEED/MRS. COLARULLO to Table application until applicant
can present a warranty deed and site plan to the Board. With a rollcall vote, MOTION
carried unanimously.

LOCATED AT 3715 S. OCEAN BLVD. APPLICANT: RICHARD MERCEDE.
Marco Muso is current owner of the property. Richard Mercede noted that he has a
contract to close on this property in February 2007. He is bringing conceptual plans
• before the board to ensure he can build this home prior to completing sale.
Tom Benedict, architect, noted that the plans were conceptual, which was approved by
the Building Dept. as they meet Town code re height, size, setbacks. They do not show
all elevations. Mr. Benedict noted that his application stated Final Review which is
incorrect, as he wants a review of the site plan in order to go forward with the state
approvals. Chairman noted for the record that this be changed to a Preliminary review.
Mr. Benedict asked that. Building Official Bob Dawson issue a letter stating that the
applicant has met the criteria of the Town code. This will enable applicant to go to the
next level of meeting the criteria of the state.

approval for property located at 3715 S. Ocean Blvd. This motion was amended by Mr.

RE: PLANNING BOARD MEETING -JUNE 14, 2006
Dear Jane:
Per my call to you Larry Corman will attend the Planning Board Meeting on June 14th, as
I will be attending a funeral during that time. I have given Larry a copy of the Agenda.
One item of note concerns the Mercede items on the Agenda. Betty Jean Stewart whose
property borders the Mercede properties called me to request that a construction fence be erected
on both sides of her property in order that the construction does not interfere with the "quiet
enjoyment" of her property.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Thomas E. Sliney
Very trul~urs,
