PUBLIC HEARING
Wednesdav, Januarv 13 1999 10.30 A M
Chairman Alfred E. Bresnahan called the Public Hearing to order in
Commission Chambers at 10:30 a.m.
Deputy Town Clerk Jane Dillon called the roll. Present were
Chairman Alfred E. Bresnahan, Vice Chair Paul R. Kane, Members S.
Myron Browner, Harold R. Hagelmann, Guido Teichner and Eugene
Diliberto. Victor P. Hadeed was absent.
Also present were Attorney Sliney, Building Official Bob Dawson and
members of the general public.
Chairman Bresnahan read into the record, the proposed
Recommendation for Height Change (attached hereto and made a part
of these minutes.) Chairman asked if there was anyone in the
audience who would like to speak regarding same.
As no members of the public approached the Board, MOTION to close
the Public Hearing to the Public was made by MR. HAGELMANN/
MR. BROWNER. Unanimous vote to do so was taken.
• With the Public Hearing closed, Chairman Bresnahan opened
discussion to the Board Members. The following questions and
issues were discussed:
The State (FIMA) establishes the flood plain at 7 1/2 feet, for
flood insurance reasons.
Bob Dawson stated that if the lower height passes, we will create
a non-conformance on existing residences in town.
It was felt that an owner of an existing home will just have to
conform to the new limitations if they want to add an addition to
their existing home.
Chairman Bresnahan felt the Board should go forth with the
recommendation to the Town Commission and let them decide weather
to adopt or not.
Mr. Kane expressed second thoughts on the 7 1/2 datum established
in discussion at previous workshop meetings, and felt he made a
mistake in voting on same, in that it could limit the height of
a home to only 22 feet above the dune.
With no further discussion, the following MOTION was made by MR.
TEICHNER/MR. BROWNER:
THE PLANNING BOARD, UPON MAJORITY VOTE, WILL FORWARD TO
THE TOWN COMMISSION THE PROPOSED HEIGHT CHANGE WITH
RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY APPROVE AND ADOPT
