NEW BUSINESS
PRELIMINARY REVIEW FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL STORAGE BUILDING ON
EXISTING WALKWAY, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3906 S. OCEAN BLVD.
APPLICANT/OWNER: DONALD GELLER
As no one was present to represent applicant, Mr. Dawson spoke on Mr. teller's behalf,
explaining that subject property is on the west side of A1A and has unity of title with the
the adjacent property which includes the main house, on the East side of A1A. Storage
shed is to be built at the end of a 1,000 foot long ramp which runs from A1A east to
Intracoastal. This will be a shed for storing boating supplies, and will have a spicket for
• a hose. No additional plumbing will be installed. A question was raised as to whether
this is a special exception, and that the Town Code is not clear on defining an
"accessory" structure, and if a shed falls into that category. Mr. Sliney stated that due
to the unity of title with the main residential property, he feels shed falls into the
accessary category.
Will all concerns addressed, the following MOTION was made by MR. HADEED/MR.
BURD.
THE PLANNING BOARD GRANTS FINAL APPROVAL FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL STORAGE BUILDING ON EXISTING
WALKWAY, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3906 S. OCEAN BLVD.

OTHER BUSINESS
CONSIDERATION OF REVISIONS TO A PORTION OF CHAPTER 23 [SIGN
ORDINANCE] REQUESTED BY FRANK LAHAGE. THE TOWN COMMISSION HAS
REQUESTED AN ADVISORY OPINION FROM THE PLANNING BOARD.
•
Mr. Lahage presented a copy of suggested revised sign ordinance, (attached hereto and
made a part of these minutes,) which would allow the Developer and/or General
Contractor names, phone numbers, websites on same. Also, allow signs with a color
artists rendering of project, and affiliated phone numbers.
Mr. Lahage stated that in the past, the sign ordinance only allowed a phone number,
thereby making it difficult for deliveries to subject construction sites. He also noted that
subject developers and builders should have the advantage of "advertising" themselves.
A concern was expressed with the existing allowable sign size, and reducing it to a 2x4
square foot area, and location of same on the property.
Several suggestions from the Board included, adding the street address to the signs,
location of signs to be determined by the Building Official as appropriate according to the
site. After discussion, the following MOTION was made by Mr. Hadeed/Mr. BURD.
THE PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDS TO THE TOWN COMMISSION,
THAT THEY APPROVE THE SIGN ORDINANCE CHANGE, AS
SUBMITTED BY MR. LAHAGE.
The following rollcall vote was taken:
Mr. Diliberto yes
Mr. Hadeed yes
Mrs. Colarullo yes
Mr. Church no
Mr. Burd yes
Mr. Hagelmann yes
MOTION passed with a 5/1 approval.
With no further business to come before the Board, MOTION to adjourn was made by
MR. DILIBERTO/MRS. COLARULLO at 10:25 a.m.
