VI. Public Requests.
A. Request for temporary signs- Ingrid Kennemer, Place Au Soleil
Mrs. Kennemer, representing the Place Au Soleil Home Owners
Association, requested permission to display temporary signs that would
advise dates of Home Owners Meetings and the Garden and Halloween
Parties. She realized the Town does have a sign code and advised that
the Association would conform to color and size restrictions contained
therein. She stated that the signs would be removed after each event.
Donna White, also a member of the Board of the Association, spoke in
support of the request adding that she had advised the Board Members
that there is a sign code when they were discussing the purchase of the
Town Commission Regular Meeting &
Public Hearing- October 13, 2006
page 2
signs and had hoped that these signs could be considered under Section
66- 446(a)(1) allowing signs which are necessary and incidental to the
performance of governmental activities and responsibilities.
OAttorney Randolph advised that a Home Owners Association is not a
governmental agency and therefore this section would not apply. He
added that an amendment to the current code would be necessary and
suggested that language such as "community oriented events noticed on
Town Property" could be included in this section which would not open
the door for all temporary signs such as garage sales and the like.
Commissioner Wheeler asked why they didn't just put the sign out and
remove it promptly as it would most likely never be noticed.
Mrs. Kennemer stated they had been doing this but wanted to make a more
professional sign rather than one with paper and crayons.
Mayor Koch suggested a Town Bulletin Board on Town Property on which
notices of Town Meetings would be posted and those of the Place Au
Soleil Association.
Town Manager Thrasher advised that there are other issues to be
considered in this matter. He pointed out that placing signs for
parties is an open invitation for the general public to enter the
neighborhood, some of who may be looking for empty homes and
neighborhoods for the purpose of committing criminal acts. He added
that both he and Chief Ward are very serious about the safety of the
residents and their property, and they see this as an unnecessary risk.
The Commission agreed that signs for the parties should not be
permitted. Some were not opposed to meeting notices if it could be
accomplished without a code change. No action was taken on the matter.

VIII. PUBLIC HEARING OF BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
A. Appeal of action of Planning /Bldg. Administrator
1. Interpretation of the rear lot line @ 549 Golfview Dr.-
Matthew J. O'Connor
Commissioner Wheeler asked the Town Manager to give the background
associated with this matter.
Town Commission Regular Meeting &
Public Hearing- October 13, 2006 page 3
Mr. Thrasher advised that Mr. O'Connor is planning to demolish the
existing home and build a new one on the property. He explained that
during the pre - application meeting, it was noted that the proposed home
Odid not meet the required setback on the west side, adjacent to the
Intracoastal Waterway. He further explained that the north lot line is
adjacent to the cove, resulting in water on two sides of the lot. The
Town Manager pointed out that there is a code provision in the Core
District that allows for a Special Exception application to reduce the
required rear setback for waterfront lots from 50' to as little as 301,
and that Mr. O'Connor will be applying for that Exception in relation to
the north (cove side) rear property line. He advised that Mr. O'Connor
is requesting that the west waterfront lot line (Intracoastal side) also
be considered a rear lot line. Mr. Thrasher pointed out that the lot
has only four sides, it is not an irregular shape, and entrance to the
property is off Golfview Drive, the only street adjacent to the
property, that being the south side of the lot. He felt that a four -
sided lot could have only one rear lot line.
Mr. O'Connor displayed a site plan of the proposed improvement along
with a rendering of the proposed new home. He pointed out the existing
home is non - conforming with encroachments in all 4 setbacks. Mr.
O'Connor called attention to the west side and pointed out that his
property line is quite a distance west of his seawall, resulting in a
considerable amount of submerged land. He advised that he had made
application to the proper agencies for permission to fill in this area
but has been refused in that there are protected sea grasses in the
area. He noted that the two homes north of him, at the end of Middle
Road, which ends in a cul -de -sac, were built under this code and had
been allowed to consider both waterfront sides as rear lot lines. He
further noted that Golfview Drive really serves no purpose beyond his
property, except for access to the golf course for maintenance purposes,
and is most likely the only street that dead ends without having a cul-
de -sac. He believed that his property should receive the same
consideration as these other two properties and be designated as having
two rear lot lines, making it possible for him to apply for two Special
Exceptions to reduce the required 50' setback to 301.
I Town Manager Thrasher advised that the two houses at the end of Middle
Road have 5 sides in that they are on a cul -de -sac. Their access is
from the cul -de -sac, making that the front lot line. He noted that
there are provisions in the code relating to irregular shaped lots.
Commissioner Wheeler moved that both waterfront sides, the north and the
west, located at 549 Golfview Drive, be considered as rear lot lines for
setback purposes. Commissioner Orthwein seconded the motion. Roll
Call: Commissioner Orthwein; AYE, Commissioner Devitt; AYE,
Commissioner Anderson; AYE, Commissioner Wheeler; AYE and Mayor Koch;
AYE.
Town Commission Regular Meeting &
Public Hearing- October 13, 2006

IX. Reports.
A. Town Manager
1. Introduction of "floating boatlifts"
Mr. Thrasher reported that a floating boatlift, attached to a dock, has
appeared in the Town without out first having an approval. He further
reported that he has yet to take any action on this matter as he felt a
determination should be made as to if this type of lift would be
acceptable or need special provisions in the code to control size,
location etc. He explained that the lifting mechanism is located
between two large pontoons. The mechanism is lowered below the surface
by filling it with water and the boat is positioned over it. Then the
water is pumped out and the mechanism raises and lifts the boat out of
the water to approximately 12 inches above the surface. The Town
Manager stated that there are currently two violations with the existing
installation; it was installed without a permit and it must be attached
to the seawall, not the dock.
Commissioner Wheeler stated he was familiar with this product and he
believed it should be considered as a floating platform. As such it's
size and color are already controlled in the existing code. He reminded
that the purpose of controlling lifts was to prevent very large vessels
from being lifted out of the water.
The Town Manager pointed out that the manufacturer calls the product
"boatlift" and it does lift the boat. He reminded that if the
Commission feels this needs more review, "zoning in progress" could
put in place.
U1
be
Attorney Randolph advised if this is something from a policy standpoint
that you don't want, the interpretation that this is not a boatlift but
is a floating platform that does not conform to the code provisions for
floating platforms, then that direction should be given to the Manager.
He added if there is any question in that regard, Zoning in Progress
should be declared and the matter studied by the ARPB. This would
prohibit granting the floating platforms either attached to the dock or
attached to the sea wall because they are simply floating platforms and
they are not allowed, he said.
�) Commissioner Wheeler moved to interpret this as a floating platform and
further declare "Zoning in Progress" while the ARPB studies the effect
of this unique devices purpose. Commissioner Devitt seconded the
motion. Roll Call: Commissioner Orthwein; AYE, Commissioner Devitt;
AYE, Commissioner Wheeler; AYE and Mayor Koch; AYE. Th connection to
Mrs. Anderson had been lost.
2. Update on water line project
Mr. Thrasher reported that the project is moving on schedule but
coordinating with FP &L to get the conduit in at the same time as the
water line is not moving smoothly but is still possible to accomplish.
He stated that FP &L has stated that any of the above ground equipment
associated with under grounding must go on easements on private
Town Commission Regular Meeting &
Public Hearing- October 13, 2006
page 5
property. However, this equipment has been installed in the right -of-
way in other towns. Mr. Thrasher stated he had spoken to FDOT about
installing it in the right -of -way and they advised that FP &L must file a
permit application to do so but there would be no problem with granting
permission. The Town Manager said that he had been pushing FP &L to do
this promptly but as yet they have not done so. He stated that he has
also been working on possible easements in the event the right -of -way
placement does not work out. Mr. Thrasher closed his report by advising
that one lane, the northbound lane, will be closed during construction.
Commissioner Devitt asked for Mr. Newbold's phone number stating he had
been contacted by Mr. Newbold several times during the negotiations for
the FP &L Franchise and he plans to seek his cooperation in this matter.
Mr. Wheeler suggested that each of the Commissioners call Mr. Newbold
and all agreed.
3. Update on poorly maintained trees
Mr. Thrasher reported that he has had several replies from residents to
his letters regarding the maintenance of trees on the right -of -way. He
advised that some wanted them removed and some wanted to maintain them.
Mr. Thrasher advised he would have a complete report for the Commission
as soon as all replies are in.
4. Update on Metal Roof Materials
The Town Manager stated that he has been unable to get a commitment from
anyone to appear before the ARPB, but is still trying. He further
stated that there are representatives from 2 manufacturers that are
considering the request.
5. Update on Heavy Equipment Rental in Hurricane Situations
Mr. Thrasher advised that the company that had offered to furnish
equipment without an operator failed to do so when we were threatened
with Ernesto. He added that equipment had been obtained from a rental
company, a stroke of luck as none of them will accept a retainer to
insure equipment will be available for a storm.
Commissioner Wheeler asked what progress had been made regarding
obtaining a consultant for employee evaluations and benefits. Mr.
Thrasher reported that he had obtained a copy of an RFP sent by Juno
Beach in which much the same information had been requested and he also
had been reviewing the last RFP issued by Gulf Stream. His plans are to
�J) prepare an RFP and bring it before the Commission prior to sending it
out.
Commissioner Wheeler asked that the item appear on the agenda each month
until such time as the final product is presented for review.

(2nd reading & Adoption)
The Town Clerk read Ordinance No. 06/4 by title. Commissioner Orthwein
moved to adopt Ordinance No. 06/4 on second reading and Commissioner
Wheeler seconded the motion. There were no questions from the public.
Roll Call: Commissioner Orthwein; AYE, Commissioner Devitt; AYE,
Commissioner Wheeler; AYE and Mayor Koch; AYE. The connection with
Commissioner Anderson had been lost.
A. Items by Mayor and Commissioners.
There were no items from the Mayor or the Commissioners.
XI. Public. William Wietsma was recognized and stated he wanted to
Discuss a matter related to property he had recently purchased
that is located at 3232 Polo Drive in August.
Mayor Koch passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Orthwein explaining that his
company had participated in the sale of this property.
Mr. Wietsma stated that after he had received approvals to demolish the
existing house and construct a new one, he has a buyer who wants several
interior changes. He said that has caused changes in the construction
lJ) drawings and has delayed the submission for a building permit. He is
concerned that he will not have a building permit in time to demolish
the house before the December first deadline for demolition. He
requested that he be given permission to apply for a demolition permit
prior to receiving a building permit. He stated the house would be
demolished in one week and if issuance of the building permit was
delayed longer than expected, he would sod the property and install
irrigation.
Town Commission Regular Meeting &
Public Hearing - October 13, 2006 page 7
Commissioner Wheeler moved and Commissioner Orthwein seconded that the
request made by Mr. Wietsma be granted as requested with the condition
that the property be sodded and irrigated if the permit is delayed. Roll
Call: Commissioner Devitt; AYE, Commissioner Wheeler; AYE, Vice Mayor
Orthwein; AYE.
Vice Mayor Orthwein returned the gavel to Mayor Koch.
Town Manager Thrasher stated that he wanted to take this opportunity to
advise the Commission that there are now 49 municipalities contributing
to the Municipal Underground Utilities Consortium and it appears likely
that the studies financed by this Consortium will have proof to present
to the Public Service Commissions that the 25 96 refunding for the cost of
under grounding as proposed by FP &L will more likely be between 25% and
42% which would be a very large difference in dollars. This matter may
go to the PSC in January.
XII. Adjournment. Mayor Koch adjourned the meeting at 10:15 A.M. on a
motion to do so made by Commissioner Devitt that was seconded by
Commissioner Wheeler.
