Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes March 16, 1992 Page 2 IV. NEW BUSINESS A. Tabled at February 18, 1992 meeting: The application of Gary Van Brock, Van Brock Construction, Inc. , owner of Lot 4, Bayview Terrace Subdivision, located at 10 Bayview Court, requesting a variance to the terms of the Official Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Tequesta, Ordinance No. 355, as amended, Section VII (C) , Schedule of Site Regulations, R-1A District, minimum rear yard setback, to allow the construction of a pool screen enclosure with a rear yard setback of 21 (feet) in lieu of 101 (feet) , as required by the Zoning Ordinance. Gary Van Brock stated he desired to make an amendment to his application, i.e. , change the 2 ' setback off the property line to a 4 ' setback, arranging for some plantings as a buffer between the screen enclosure and the property line. The adjoining property owner stated no objection to this amendment. The screen enclosure consists of a metal screen enclosure with a screen on, it which meets all Village Codes. The height of the screen enclosure at one point is 8.5 feet high, which will tie into the existing roof line, with the other height of the screen enclosure rising to 14 feet which meets the other roof line. The screen enclosure is tied into the house with structural-type gutters, channeling water runoff to the side yard. The adjoining property owner stated he had no problem with the height of the screen. Bob Langraph, another nearby property owner was concerned that the height of the roofline was too close to the adjoining property. The adjoining property owner (William Burckart) stated he had no problem with that. Gary Van Brock stated he plans to plant . a 12 '-14 ' Queen Palm in the side yard which would buffer the screen enclosure from neighbors view. Attorney Randolph commented that the proper way to ensure that such a tree would remain as the property changed hands was to place a Deed Restriction on the property which states the tree must remain. Chris Bowman, another nearby property owner objected to the application since: 1) no hardship was shown; 2) the lot was not large enough for a pool and screened enclosure; 3) this sets a precedent for future development; 4) the plans had not been submitted to the Bayview Landscape Committee; and 5) a "house on top of a house" is undesirable for re-sale which will reflect on other homes in the neighborhood. a ' Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes March 16, 1992 Page 3 Boardmember Freimark moved to approve the application as submitted with approval of the amendment changing the 2 ' setback off the property line to a 4 ' setback, 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.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS Scott Ladd asked the Board to look through and give thought to the Ordinance regarding dock variance which had been presented to them, so that the Village Manager could take those comments and input to the Village Council regarding the Ordinance. The Board agreed they would discuss this subject matter formally at the next Board Meeting. Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes March 16, 1992. Page 4 VI.
