Property Background
According to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, the existing home was built in 1996.
Request and Analysis:
The Applicant is proposing a major modification to an existing single-family home located at 3515
South Ocean Boulevard. Pursuant to Section 30-39 of the Town Code, major modifications to
existing buildings are described as follows:
“…that alter existing principal or accessory structures, including but not limited to
the building footprint, number of square feet, building height, number of dwelling
units, parking requirements, change in exterior facade, change of use, change of
roof line, change of elevation, all exterior walls, balconies, foundations, accessory
structures, and similar substantial improvements as determined by the building
official.
The proposed major modification consists of the following:
- Additional square footage under AC totaling 347 square feet.
- A new covered entry.
- Exterior façade changes including but not limited to alterations to windows, doors,
balconies, railings, and columns.
- Alteration of the roof line.
The Applicant has indicated that all existing landscaping on the property and in Florida
Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) right -of-way located adjacent to the property will remain.
In addition, given the proposed major modification project will occur west of the Coastal
Construction Control Line, a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) permit for
such modification is not required (see attached email correspondence from F DEP).
According to Section 30-39(b) of the Town Code, major building modifications are to be reviewed
in the same manner as an original structure or use as required by Chapter 30 (Zoning Code). Section
30-31 of the Town Code requires site plan approval from the Planning Board for new single-family
residences. Pursuant to Section 30-22 of the Town Code, when acting in a decision-making capacity,
the Planning Board shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny applications for development
approval which includes major modifications.
If the request is approved by the Planning Board and prior to initiation of construction, the Applicant
will be required to obtain a building permit from the Town of Highland Beach Building Department.
Pursuant to Section 30-21(g) of the Town Code, commencement of construction of the approved
major modification shall be initiated within two (2) years following the date of approval by the
Planning Board.
Staff has reviewed the Applicant’s proposed request including plans date stamped received by the
Building Department on March 27, 2024 and finds that the project is consistent with the Code of
Ordinances.

Good Afternoon David -
Was given your contact information from Ingrid Allen, the Town of Highland Beach Planner.
We are submitting a Development Order for renovating this existin SFR, she advised that I reach out to ensure that the scope of work
proposed in the permit set attached does not trigger the requirement for any DEP Approvals since we are not changing the footprint to the
rear of the SFR East of the CCCL line, we are just bumping out the front slightly.
Based on the drawings attached, we are just looking for confirmation that we are in compliance and will not require any permitting from
DEP.
Ingrid advised that you would be the best to speak with, appreciate any assistance.
Please confirm receipt and advise. Thank you!
Regards,
Anthony Fichera
