MINUTES - BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
NOVEMBER 14, 1983
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
Mr. Ampol questioned if it is a 4" slab and Mr. Wilkinson ex-
plained that it is a porch slab and it will be raised with 4"
on top. Chairman Thompson questioned the distance from the
slab to the property line and Mr. Keehr clarified that it is
19'6" from the concrete patio slab to the property line and a
variance of 5'6" is required.
Chairman Thompson read the six answers to the six criteria
submitted by the applicant giving the reasons for requesting
the variance.
Mr. Slavin referred to the house being built in 1958 and asked
if the slab was in order when built and Mr. Keehr informed him
that a slab does not constitute a violation of a setback.
Mr. Ampol asked if all the neighbors within 400 feet have been
notified and Chairman Thompson replied affirmatively and ad-
vised that four communications were received in response all
noted as being in favor of this request.
Mr. Slavin referred to surrounding neighbors enjoying screen
porches and stated that Mr. Wilkinson is in a peculiar situa-
tion with having a small rear yard and large front yard.
Also, the neighbors are not conforming to 25 feet in the rear.
The neighbors have no objections and he doesn't know whether
this Board should have any objections.
Chairman Thompson ascertained nobody else desired to speak
either in favor or against this application.
~. Ampol made a motion to grant this variance, seconded by
Mr. Moore. As requested, Mrs. Kruse took a roll call vote on
the motion and it carried 7-0.
