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.
