UNFINISHED BUSINESS Gary Van Brock approached the Board petitioning for a change to the variance approval of the last Board of Adjustment meeting regarding the application of Van Brock Construction, Inc. , owner of Lot 4, Bayview Terrace Subdivision requesting a variance to the Zoning Ordinance to allow the construction of a pool screen enclosure. Mr.: Van Brock requested reconsideration of the condition imposed in last week's motion (i.e. , arranging for the planting of a 12 '-14 ' Queen Palm in the side yard which would buffer the screen enclosure from neighbors view, and a Deed Restriction on the property which states the tree must remain) and that it now be removed from the Deed Restrictions. Mr. Van Brock felt that condition clouds the Title to this speculative home and might be a detriment to its sale. Mr. Van Brock provided for the Board a letter from a neighbor Bob Langraph, who originally agreed to the condition, stating (that he now would not object if that condition was removed from the Deed Restriction. After much discussion by them, the Board felt it would be more appropriate to receive . letters from all who previously objected to the variance (Bob Langraph, Chris Bowman, 'and William Burckart) , before such a request could be considered. Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes April 20, 1992 Page 4 Boardmember Northamer moved that the Developer's request to delete the requirement of a recordable document be granted, subject to the Developer obtaining appropriate approval letters from all who originally objected (i.e. , Bob Langraph, Chris Bowman and William Burckart) stating they do not object to the removal of the condition from the Deed Restrictions regarding the Queen Palms. Boardmember DeMott seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: James Van Wagner - for Alfred DeMott - for John Turner - for William Kirkland - for Kenneth Northamer - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS A. Review of alternatives regarding Zoning Code, Section XVI, Uniform Waterway Control. Scott Ladd explained this concerns the variance dilemma concerning docks and approvals from DERM, DER, DNR and the Army Corps of Engineers, stating that the Village Council prefers to have the; input from the Board of Adjustment before making any revisions to the Village Zoning Code. After much discussion, the Board unanimously felt that since there were not many docks left in the Village which would require such attention, and since the Board has been "winning the battles" in the past, that it was probably best to leave the Zoning Code as is, with no alterations.
