Variance Request and Site Plan Review (continued) and Zoning Board study this problem and make recommendations .to improve existing Planning & Zoning Codes with reference to this particular problem. After further discussion and the filing of a letter from an immediate neighbor, Mr. Stahl, containing four conditions under which he would have no objection to the granting of said variance request,the Board on motion duly made and seconded recommended approval of said variance provided Mr. Stahl's letter is forwarded to the Town Commission and also provided all four points in Mr. Stahl's letter are followed by all concerned. Copy of which is attached hereto. Site Plan Review Owner: Mr. Donald Walsh Lot 90, Place Au Soleil, 915 Orchid Lane. Request to add an addition to an existing family residence. Re- submitted plans that were previously reviewed by the Board and denied. The Board was informed by Mrs. Gwynn that the plans as submitted do not meet Town setback requirements. The Chairman read aloud a letter from the Place Au Soleil Home Owner's Association Architectural Committee expressing its concern for the planned addition as a temptation for use as a multi - family dwelling. Recognizing that the door and its location are the problem Mr. Mayer recommended the plans be approved by the Home Owner's Association of Place Au Soleil and then brought back to the Planning & Zoning Board. There being no further business to come before the Board the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 a.m. Town Clerk I �NITF:11 KT. \TFti �. \ \'1'. Idl'TII "ill 12 May 1988 Planning and Zoning Board Town of Gulf Stream In regard to the five variances request for Lot 19 Polo Cove and as neighbors on the west side of the property, my wife and I do not register any objections to the granting of the variances. However, this position of "no objections" is based on the following: 1. We understand that the ground floor elevation will be 8.07'. 2. Auger pilings, or other non - driven pilings, will be used wherever piles must be installed. 3. The owner will inform us 48 hours prior to commencing demolition or installation of piling. 4. The drainage plan as presented is acceptable and the Town is requested to insure implementation as designed. As a final comment, I consider it appropriate and timely for the / Planning and Zoning Board to undertake a study of the problems created in the Town by the construction of large houses on small lots and to prepare recommendations for the Town Commission as to how the Zoning Code might be amended to minimize such problems in the future.

Barbara Gwynn Town Clerk J Questions 6 Answers: Question: (A) That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same zoning district. Answer: (A) There is an existing building on the site, and that it would be a hardship financially not to use part of this existing structure and would also be aesthetically poor. Question: (B) That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Answer: (B) As stated in A there is any existing building on the site. Question: (C) That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by the Zoning Code to other lands, buildings, or structures in the same Zoning District. Answer: (C) Previous variances within the area with existing structures have been granted due to the configur- ation of the site and the existing structure place- ment. Question: (D) That a literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would deprive the applicant of . rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same Zoning District under the same Zoning Code and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant. Answer: (D) As this area was originally planned and houses laid out with smaller set backs in keeping with the area, it would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the owner to build a residence under larger set backs now in force. Question: (E) That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building or structure. Answer: (E) The variance request by the owner is the minimum to grant to allow for the reasonable use of the land. Question: (F) That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the ordin- ance and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Answer: (F) The granting of the said variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the ordinance covering the area involved and would not be detrimental to the public welfare; it would indeed, as previously stated, be in harmony with the area. Question: (G) That no non confirming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance. Answer: (G) The insurance of the variance would be in no way considered a non - conforming use of the neighboring lands, structures or buildings in other districts, and no permitted use of land,structures or build- ings in other districts shall be considered ground for this variance being granted. Lastly I would like to state that in fact we would be improving the existing set back to the eves line by 116 ". Also, the proposed two story section would be considerably further set back than the existing two story section. C COMMISSIONERS WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR., Mayor ALAN I. ARMOUR, Vice Mayor LAWRENCE E.

The variance is requested to enable us to add on a "mother's living area" for our mother, who needs to be with us. We could not ask you for a second -story addition, because the stairs would not be easy for her. No variance is requested on the east and west sides of our property which adjoins our neighbors. We are requesting a variance only to the rear (north lot line) which adjoins no homes, but only some solar panels and a tennis court. Your kind consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated. z j't rluuly Donald Walsh DW: f COMMISSIONERS WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR., Mayor ALAN L ARMOUR, Vice Mayor LAWRENCE E. STAHL JAMES T.
