Regular Meeting Page 2
Architectural Review & Planning Board April 24, 2008
Town Manager Thrasher reported that the Town Commission agreed with the
recommendations the Board made on the multi -family districts and the
additional architectural styles. However, they unanimously agreed to
allow Spanish Mediterranean style in the Core district. He explained
that the Commissioners felt this style would fit in well in the
District. They also agreed that no change be made on additional roofing
Omaterials but wanted the "or slate style tile" left in the Code.
With regard to boat lifts, there were discussions to allow low profile 4
post lifts not to exceed 4 ft. above seawall with no bracing or beams
between pilings. The first piling placed a minimum of 20 ft. from
setback line and pilings extend maximum 18 ft. from seawall. Lots with
setbacks more than 15 ft., either side take 20 ft. for the 1st pile from
setback line on the side with the biggest setback. Vessels maximum 34
ft. hull length and all lifted on any lift shall have no towers
exceeding 10 ft. above seawall. Any other exceeding 500 pounds lifting
capacity shall be attached to wall. The Town Manager felt that these
changes would help with the permitting and administration of boat lifts.
G
Mr. Ganger asked if the boat lift/dock issue is settled and would the
Town consider getting help from someone who is more knowledgeable on the
subject.
Mr. Thrasher stated that the Commission has not made a final decision as
there is some concern that a 10 ft. space between the posts on the lift
may be too narrow. He added that he has received professional advice
from someone who works in the field.
