Mr. W. F. Koch, Mayor
Town of Gulf Stream
Dear Bill,
Here are a few comments on the codified Town
Ordinances:
1. Perhaps plans submitted for development
within the "Flood Plain" should carry a
Professional Engineer's statement that
"he plan conforms to all requirements of
: apter b; FLOOD PROTECTION.
2. 8 -9 HOUSEBOATS places no limit on how
long it may stay provided there is access
to water & sewrage. I think this is all
ri;ht; some people like it for a temp-
orary guest house.
3. 8 -10 Owner should be able to fix his own
house whenever he thinks it necessary.
He must have due regard to the comfort of
his neighbors but that should be pro-
vided for in a nuisance ordinance. A
wild midnight swimming party could make
quite a lot of disturbance also.
4. 9 -3 A fee of $50.00 to file a petition
for a variance does not seem excessive.
5. p1129 Appendix A. I would suggest that
line 2, word 2, MORALS, be deleted. If
we think we can legislate morals I doubt
that it belongs in a zoning ordinance.
6. p1132 BUILDING HEIGHT is measured from
mean grade to the CEILING of the top floor.
Attic and roof could be well above this.
Would this exceed the forty five feet limit?
All the rest looks good to me, especially with
the notations made in your copy. These are just
my personal views for your consideration.
Sincerely, �U4AJ"� 9-

Koch 14 Apr 78 p 2.
A few more:
7. p1133 Why not delete, Garage, Public and
Garage Storage? There won't be any anyway.
8. Business Districts Since there will be
none why not delete all the specifics such
as, no tanning of hides, etc. etc?
9, p1148 (E) excl»des issuance of building
permits between "i Dec and 1 Apr but does
not exclude actual construction during
this period if the permit has been issued
Previously. Shouldn't construction work
also be excluded?
