Applicant's desire is to enlarge the pool, which would consume most of the present patio area. Scott Ladd explained he had received approval of the application from the Tequesta Country Club Community Association. Boardmember Northamer felt 1) it was necessary for the Board to receive remarks regarding the application from neighboring property owners, and 2) also felt it would not be a hardship if the patio was not increased as much as requested (i.e. , two feet from the rear property line) . Mr. Mitscher stated he had received verbal approval from some of his neighbors. Scott Ladd explained that, in the letter of approval from the Country Club Community Association, it was stated that the President of the Association had consulted with Mitscher neighbors, Mapes, Hombres and Baker, who gave their verbal approval of the application. Mr. Mitscher explained further that, though it is not absolutely necessary to increase the patio as much as requested, it was the purpose of his move to South Florida from Buffalo, New York to "get into the sun and out of the clouds", and an enlarged pool would use up most of the existing patio. Boardmember DeMott moved to approve the application, subject to written Country Club approval. Boardmember Nelson seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Edwin Nelson - for Alfred DeMott - for Robert Freimark - against William Kirkland - for Kenneth Northamer - against the motion was therefore passed and adopted. • Board, of Adjustment Meeting Minutes June 15, 1992 Page 5 V.
