IV. Ordinances for Public Hearing on second reading and adoption
A. 90/1; An amendment to various sections of the zoning
Ordinance to establish regulations for lots of less than
20,000 sq. ft., maximum lot coverage, minimum landscape
percentage, maximum heights for seawalls, maximum percentage
of flat roof; to recind the minimum size of building
requirement; and to provide that variances expire within
12 montls from the granting.
Dr. Rooney was recognized from the audience and asked if a screen
enclosure would be counted toward lot coverage for lots of less than
20,000 square feet. He was advised that as the Ordinance is written,
that would be counted. He then stated that he now has 1,800 sq. ft. of
living area and would like to add an additional 1,000 sq. ft. He went on
to add that inasmuch as pools must be enclosed he must either fence his
yard, eliminating the screen around the pool, in order to construct
the additional 1,000 sq. ft. on ground level, or leave the screen
enclosure and add the extra living area as a second story. He felt that
his neighbors would prefer not to have a second story and not to have
the yard fenced. He requested that the proposed regulations be changed
to exempt the screen enclosures from lot coverage provisions.
Public Hearing -Town Commission Minutes of January 21, 1991 page 2
John Breazeale, Chairman of the Task Force Committee, advised that
this had been discussed by the Task Force and they had recommended that
the screen enclosures be counted toward lot coverage and that individual
circumstances and problems could be considered thru variance applications.
Brian Pfeifler, called attention to the fact that the computation of
lot coverage for lots of more than 20,000 sq. ft. on page 2 addresses
screened enclosures while that for the lots of less than 20,000 sq. ft.
on page 5 says nothing about screened enclosures, just enclosures. He
felt that whatever was decided, screened enclosures should be addressed
on page 5 so there would be nothing left to interpretation.
Commissioner Stahl moved and Commissioner Cross seconded the motion to
approve on second reading, Ordinance 90/1, with an amendment at page
5 related to lot coverage to add the following two sentences on the end
of paragraph item (i)4: Unscreened patios or swimming pools shall not
be considered in computing lot coverage. Screened in pools or patios shall
be considered in computing lot coverage, but shall be computed as only
fifty (50) percent of their actual coverage. There was no further

Comm. Wallace; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
