& O' Brien, Inc. Representing
Village Royale, Inc.
Mr. O' Brien showed members of the Board a photograph of a
building with this type of stairwell that is presently located
in Village Royale.
Mr. Cousins asked how this situation came about.
Mr. O~ Brien ans,,,mred that the building was layed out and was
up to the 2nd floor when it was discovered that the stai~.~ell
was completely neglected.
Mr. Ward pointed out that if the stairwell was open it would
not have to stay within the 25~ setback. The roof on it makes
it a violation.
No one else spoke in favor of the request~
Those people objecting to the request then came fo~-~ard.

M!-NLITES
BODRD OF gDJUSTMENT
i)ECEIvfBER 1i~ 197 2
George SchiRedanz, 2112 N.E. 1st ~3ay, objected to the variance.
He stated that the sales office map does not show this building.
He thinks it is ridiculous to have this building stick out in
the middle of nowhere.
~e~e v~eme 62 people from Village Royale p~esent in objection
to the ~equest. Others in Village Royale object but could not
come to the meeting.
Mr. O~Brien stated that all the County needs for the right of
way is 80' and it is available so the might of w~y should not
enter into it.
Bill Galeazzi, Building Official read a letter he had written
to the City Manager. He stated that Village Royale took it
upon themselves to move the building which they did not think
was wrong as long as they did not change the overall density.
The Building Department found out about this and stopped the work.
M~. O~Brien stated that %~en they found out they went through
the Planning & Zoning Board and the City Council for a new site
plan approval.
Councilman Dave Roberts stated that this did come before Council
but it ~vas not propemly submitted. He suggested that the Board
look into it furthem.
Mr~ O~Brien stated that they are talking about two different
things. Site plan approval has nothing to do with this
variance. The Planning g Zoning Board has approved the Site
Plan~ apparent~v it has not gone to Council yet.
Mr. Beane moved that the Variance be denied, seconded by M~.
Lucas. Motion carried 4-1. Mr. Ward voted ~no~. Variance
denied.
Mr. Cousins moved to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Beane.

MINUTES
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
DEC~MB~,R ii, 1972
Mr. Hester read a letter of objection from Mary Nunneker, 2222
N.E. 1st Way.
Douglas Crawford represented Village Royale residents. He
stated that they object to this variance. He asked who gave
authority to proceed with the building in the first place.
Mr. Hester stated thaf this is not the function of the Board.
The Board listens to the vamiance but as far as why the building
is there~ the BOard has nothing to do with it.
~. Crawford then stated that the engineer employed by the City
should catch these things before they happen. They object to
the variance and dont think it should be §~anted.
Harry LeForte, Village Royale asked why the Building Permit
was issued.
Mr. Hester answered that the Board has nothing to do with the
Building Pe~aits, it is up to the Building Department.
Mr. LeFort stated that when any building does not meet the
Standard somebody is at fuait. It seems unusual that the
building would be started then come in requesting a variance.
Mm. Hester Stated that it has happened before.
}~ McGinley, 2102 N.E. 1st Way, asked what is to keep them
from a'sking for a variance of 50~ as long as it does not have
a roof on it.
Mr. Hester stated that the City Fathers pass the ordinances
in the City.
Mr. Ness read rzom the Zoning Rules, Sec 12D(3)
Robert Henderson stated that he has owned property for many
years on the corner of Seacrest and 22 ~venue, lots ! & ~6~
Block 28. If he built on that property he would expect to
abide by the zoning laws and setback requirements. Just
because a company comes in there and decides to make a mistake
for no reason, why should they be given a variance.
George Kimk~ 2222 N.E. 1st Way, stated that 22nd Avenue is
going to be widened and it will be right up to the stall, el!.
This problem can be solved if the developer would spend a little
ext~'a money.
