PUBLIC COMMENTS
Resident Jim Kelly, of 2565 S. Ocean Blvd., #305 (Town Houses of
Highland Beach) presented his concern to the Board regarding the
new home being built at 2445 S. Ocean Blvd., Lot 129E, Block 1
(Jeff Cordon's house.) He stated that there are several large
structures being placed on the roof of the home and questioned
their future usage and their height; i.e. a chimney which appears
to be about 10 feet high, a squared off area which appears to be
larger than a stairwell size, and the appearance of the structures
in a row which creates a blocked view from his apartment.
Mr. Dawson stated that the height restriction on a home is 35 feet,
but any non-habitual space may rise above that 35 feet. Mr. Sliney
stated that this does not appear to be a zoning code problem, and
that the town ordinances do not specify how high a non-habitual
• space may be.
At the conclusion of the discussion, Chairman Bresnahan stated that
he will go with Mr. Dawson to inspect the home and the subject
issues. He suggested that the other Board members do the same, on
an individual basis with Mr. Dawson. The following two items will
be looked at as two separate issues:
1) Inspect the rooftop of the home.
2) Inspect the Town Codes and determine if there are any "grey"
areas pertaining to height limitations on non-habitual space.
Mr. Kelly asked that he be given an answer as to what the intended
use is for the 4 roof structures, i.e., water, Air conditioning,
etc.
Mr. Sliney noted for the record that no one is ignoring Mr. Kelly
and his concerns, as Mr. Kelly claimed. Mr. Dawson has been
discussing these issues with Mr. Kelly for quite some time, and Mr.
Sliney has also been involved.
Mr. Dawson was asked to address any other town issues he had, prior
to Mr. Parks Comprehensive Plan discussion. Mr. Dawson stated he
had several items which he would like recommendation whether they
are Planning Board issues or not.
• A driveway being replaced with brick.
. A single driveway being changed to a circular driveway.

• Aucrust 12 , 1998 Page 3 of 4
Chairman Bresnahan requested that these issues come before the
Planning Board for approval.
Mr. Dawson described a requested dune walkover, consisting of 4x4
pilings with loosely attached planks connecting them. Town
Ordinance states that a dune walkover must be an elevated
structure, and asked the Board to view some pictures he had to
determine if this particular type is in conformance with the
ordinance.
JIM PARK, GEE & JENSON: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS REVIEW.
Mr. Park presented the 1998 Comprehensive Plan Amendments which
were revised to address objections and comments raised by the DCA
in its July 2, 1998 letter to Mayor Arlin G. Voress. He stated
that three main issues were at hand: 1) Affordable Housing, 2) Land
Use Elements, 3) Transportation.
After discussion of same, the following MOTION was entertained by
Chairman Bresnahan, seconded by MR. KANE:
THE PLANNING BOARD GIVES FINAL APPROVAL TO THE 1998
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS, AND RECOMMENDS
• APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS BY THE TOWN COMMISSION.
Motion met with unanimous vote.
With no further business to come before the Board at this time,
