4. Public Hearings:
A. The Village Clerk advised the Council that the owner
of the property located at 63 Camden Drive is seeking non-use
variances from the requirements of Section 21-127(a) and 21-127(b).
Mr. Weiss explained this is a quasi judicial hearing and the
parties who will be speaking must be sworn by the Village Clerk.
The following people were sworn by the Village Clerk: Dan Nieda,
Sean Clancy and Dr. & Mrs. Blather. Mayor Spiegel then proceeded to
open the public hearing.
Mr. Nieda read into the record the staff recommendation, which is
as follows:
Background: The owner of the property
located in the R-2 Residential District of Bal
Harbour at 63 Camden Drive is seeking non-use
'73
variance from the requirements of Section 21-
127(a), to permit a front yard setback of 27'-
0" to 29'-10", where 30'-0" is required and
Section 21-127(b), to permit a side yard
setback of 6'-6" to 9'-0", where 10'-0" is
required.
Recommendation: The applicant has
submitted for approval a one bedroom addition
to the front (South) facade of an existing one
story single family residence in the R-2
District. Floor plan sketch prepared by
Gershon Kinger, P.E. shows that the proposed
15'-10" by 21'-0", 322 square feet addition
encroaches as triangler shaped corners by 3'-
0" into the front yard setback line and 3'-6"
into the side yard setback line.
The residence is situated in an irregular pie
shaped lot on the North side of the Camden
Court cul de sac, with varying width from 149
feet at the rear to 52 feet at the front
property line. As a result of the site's
radial configuration and the abutment to cul
de sac. the setbacks diminish towards the
front and sides of the property when placing a
rectangular shaped addition. The applicant
had previously submitted to the Architectural
Review Board a version of this addition
project which complied with all setback
requirements, but was not granted a
Certificate of Appropriateness. Board members
felt that the aesthetic results of adhering to
the required setbacks produced an addition
with awkward configuration and roof lines, and
recommended that a variance be sought so that
a more appealing design solution could be
implemented. I concur with the Board's
opinion that the minimal setback encroachment
requested, results in a well integrated
addition to the existing residence.
The proposed addition is compatible with the
surrounding uses of the R-2 Residential
District and will not be detrimental to its
neighbors. Accordingly, I recommend that this
non-use variance from Section 21-127(a) and
21-127(b) be granted.
Mrs. Blachar addressed the Council and stated she felt it was not
necessary for her to speak, since Mr. Nieda is in approval with the
plans. She stated she would answer any questions the Council may
Regular Council Meeting 3/18/97
74
have in reference to her application.
Councilman Boggess asked Mr. Nieda to explain the sketch of the
site plan. Mr. Nieda explained the site plan to the Council.
Councilman Boggess then requested in the future for public hearings
a sizeable layout should be available.
Councilman Hirschl asked Mr. Nieda why the Architectural Review
Board requested the applicant request a variance Mr. Nieda
explained the Board felt the aesthetic results would produce an
awkward configuration and roof lines.
Sean Clancy. 211 Bal Cross Drive. President of the Civic
Association, stated the Association has always been against
variances on setbacks. Therefore, they are against the Council
granting this request.
There being no further comments, Mayor Spiegel closed the public
hearing.
A motion was offered by Assistant Mayor Blank and seconded by
Councilman Taplin to grant the applicants request. The motion
carried with the vote as follows: Mayor Spiegel aye; Assistant
Mayor Blank aye; Councilman Boggess aye; Councilman Hirschl aye:
Councilman Taplin aye.
B. The Village Clerk advised the Council that the owner of
the property located at 138 Park Drive is seeking non-use variance
from the requirements of Section 21-127(a) and 21-127(b).
The Village Clerk then proceeded to swear in Mr. Nieda, Mr.
Castellano and Mr. Clancy. Mayor Spiegel then proceeded to open
the public hearing for comments.
Mr. Nieda read into the record the staff recommendation, which is
as follows:
Background: The owner of the property
located in the R-2 Residential District of Bal
Harbour at 138 Park Drive is seeking non-use
variances from the requirements of Section 21-
127(a), to permit a front yard setback of 20'-
6", where 30'-0" is required and Section 21-
127(b), to permit a front facing garage entry,
where a side entry is required.
Recommendation: The applicant has submitted
for approval a two car garage addition to the
front (East) facade of an existing one story
residence in the R-2 District. Site plan
sketch prepared by Paul Pergakis, Architect,
Regular Council Meeting 3/18/97 3
'75
shows that the proposed 22'-6" by 22'-6" two
car carport on the Southeast corner of the
site encroaches 9'-6" into the required 30'-0"
front yard setback. The driveway is
configured to facilitate a front facing
carport entry, without the benefit of any
buffers or landscape screens. The existing
one car garage is located at the rear of the
property, which is proposed as a new kitchen
expansion of the existing residence. The site
plan indicated that a new pool and deck is
proposed at the Northwest corner of the site,
where the existing asphalt drive is located.
Section 21-384(1) of the Zoning Ordinances
require that no less than one parking space he
provided within a garage or carport, inclusive
of canvas carport structures. The applicant
is seeking a variance for a two car carport,
exceeding the one space garage parking
requirement of the Code. The architect has
not explored other alternatives to develop a
rear yard detached canvas carport structure.
while leaving sufficient room for a pool and
deck structure. A rear yard area of 50 feet
by 66 feet is left after deducing side and
rear setbacks that may be developed to
accommodate a rear yard carport and pool
scheme.
The variances requested in connection with
this carport addition, may present detrimental
precedents to the community by permitting a
liberal interpretation of the Zoning Code
garage parking requirements. In addition, the
applicant has not demonstrated that compliance
with the Code will result in a practical
difficulty or render compliance unreasonably
burdensome. Accordingly, I recommend that
this non-use variance from the requirements of
Section 21-127(a) and Section 21-128(b) be
denied.
Mr. Castellano addressed the Council and explained he has explored
different alternatives, but this was the only feasible solution.
Sean Clancy, 211 Bal Cross Drive, President of the Civic
Association, suggested Mr. Castellano go back and try to find an
alternative solution.
This public hearing was tabled until the Village Clerk returned
with a copy of the ordinance on withdrawals of applications.
