Publico_ He~_a..r$.nE _On variance request for Lot 4.6, Bio.ok.` %. Lake
Public hea~ring was called ena request for variance in rear
setback of swimming pool by A. P. BrLukman on Lot 46, Block 4, Lake
Addition, 90V N. E. Vth Street, as published in the Boy, ton Beach
Star July 9 and 16, 1964.
Mr. Brinkman was present and explained to the Board that the
reason fo~ building the pool on the rear instead of on the f~ont
of the house was the necessity for the activity around the pool
being removed from the bedrooms, as his wife required frequent naps
during the day due to a recent illness.
In discussion it was determined that two variances would be
required in order for Mr. Brinkman to build the type of pool he
desired: from the required 10' to 6' from the house to the pool
and from the required 8' to 4' from the pool to the rear lot line.
An interpretation of the meaning of the zoning ordinance was
obtained from N~. ~oore and Mr. Grootenboer.
No objections had been received in writing and no objectors
were present.
After general discussion Mr. Same moved that ~r. Brinkman
be allowed to construct the pool six feet from the rear of the
house to within four feet of the rear lot line. Col. Wehrell
seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

NinUtes- Bal. of &djustment, July 24, 1964 (Cont'd.)
OLD BUSI~_~ESS
A report prepared by the University of~ Florida and forwarded
to each Board member by the City N~mage~, setting forth the duties
and powers of Boards of ~djustment, was brought up for discussion.
It was the opinion of the Board that many of the cases that
were forwarded to them for dete~mLuation were not in their juris-
diction and should not come to them. For instance, it was pointed
out by Col. Web, ell that cases which involved a ehauge in the use
of property had been before the Board and the Board had allowed
some of them, however, according, te the report the Adjustment Board
should not get cases of this nature.
Mr. Kain acknowledged to the Board that in his study of the
situation the procedure by which cases are referred to the Board
was at fault and should be altered in such a way that many of the
cases would net come before the Board. He said that he and Mr. Moore
were going to endeavor to come up with a routing chart Which would
work to this end.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 p.m.
