• NEW BUSINESS:
Vice Chair Knight announced that there are two items under New Business for
discussion. The Board is not approving these plans; we are only making a
recommendation to the Town Commission, who is the decision-making authority. There
are two-units in the same building owned by two different parties.
A. Application # 26769 -1019 Bel Air Drive, Unit #C; Reuf & Jean Ramic
SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR A MAJOR MODIFICATION TO ENCLOSE THE
PATIO. APPLICANT: MCGUIRE CONSTRUCTION
Vice Chair Knight read aloud the title of the item then asked that members of the Board
disclose any ex-parte communication, there being none the Vice Chair asked that Michael
Desorcy, Building Official make his presentation.
Building Official Desorcy -There are two permit applications to expand the footprint at
both end units. The zoning for this project is RML (residential multiply-family low
density). The setbacks on the rear of the building are something greater than 20-feet.
They are proposing to enlarge the back of the two units. The final boundary survey will
reflect that the expansion of the building will be at three-feet from the property line,
which meets the Town of Highland Beach Code of Ordinances. They are not expanding
• on the sides, so that is not relevant.
Town Att. Slinev - Do we have anything on record as to the position of the
Condominium Association? Bldg. Official Desorcy - It is in possession of the Deputy
Town Clerk.
(Deputy Town Clerk provided the Town Attorney with such documents.)
Town Att. Slinev - Is Mr. Hessler the President of the condominium? Bldg. Official
Desorcv -Yes, he is. Town Att. Slinev -The documents are ambiguous, it does not say
but it sounds like he is approving the application.
Member Stern -Does Mr. Hessler live in one of the units that are being remodeled?
Bldg. Official Desorcy- Yes, he lives in unit #A. Town Att. Slinev - It is my
recommendation that the Condominium Association provide a letter approving both
applications. Bld~i. Official Desorcy- Palm Beach County reviewed the impact fees and
they were paid in full. The plans were stamped and signed by the director of that
department.
Member Angel - Is the enclosure going to continue as a patio or bedroom? Bld>;•
Official Desorcv - A patio.
