Hr. Youngstrom seconded the motion which carried unanimously. ITEM U2 - The request of 440 West (a condominium) for maximum setback variances. Grace Loyd, Plannin?, Official, discussed Section 30.07, Waterfront Property Setbacks, and the requirements of the Vista Ordinance H15l0. The property is considered a wide parcel and the zoning ordinance requires clear space, as one continuous space must be 20% of the width of the property. However, the building and the parking were constructed before this ordinance became effective. Construction is already in the vista area. (or open space) and is minimal, at best. It will be almost completely eliminated if the applicant's request is approved. The applicant wishes to construct tennis courts over the parking area and these courts would require n windbreaker of Bome type, which would necessarily block the view. Harry Cline, attorney rel~resenting Pico Development Corporation and 440 Weal. Inc;, stated the request for setback variances on the North and ~outh side property lines is to allow construction of parking lot cover with tennia courts on top. The underneath portion (the parking area) is not planned to be enclosed, and the structure will be supported by columns. The same number of parking spaces will be retained and thus not increase par.king on public streets. The courts will be pri- vately owned and for the use of the tenants. Installation of a roof facility over the parking area will not create additional area density or utilization. Rubert AlIi, spokesman for some of the tenants of the condo, spoke in support of tennis courts and cited their scarcity on the Beach and mainland. There were no objections. 8 The Board discussed the definition of a vista and the present limited open space area of the site. Upon consideration of the appeal of 440 West, Inc., from the dechion of the Building Official concerning the request for maximum" setback variance of 122 feet from North and South property lines on the followlnR described property: From .I , . . . it?~f;;:;>;~';; 1;( . ....... .... ., .;i.,. \~;;"~t:","}.~~'j:;l''''~''~:\I.t~ '-":; .~:'X' ~ .r,"> ~kt ~ ~'io( 'F 'j'~ / ~~!~lt;t: :;,; "~'~'(.;~'.: ':..1,' , ,\ I ( , ' 2. 918/77 ", " , .

Gulfview Boulevard and 1s zoned CTP (com- mercial tourist facilities), it appearing after this duly con- stituted public hearing, that there are not such practical difficultiea or unnecessary hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of the zoning ordi- nance 8S it affects such property as would justify a variance of such provisions and that the same cannot be varied in har- mony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning ordinance, Mr. Nichols moved that such appeal be denied. Mr. Donnell seconded the motion. Mr. Youngstrom stated for the record, he felt the Beach area does need more tennis courts and covered parking is a necessity" and denial would be a hardship. Mr. Nichols stated he considered the intent of the ordi- nance and the rights of the residp.nts and visitors for open space and a view. Mr. Donnell quoted Section 30.07 (e), Clear Space Require- ments. Upon the vote being taken, Messrs. Donnell, Nichols, Houae and Batstone voted "Aye"; Mr. Youngstrom voted "Nay." The request was denied. The Chairman advised the applicants that they could ap- peal to the Commission w~thin ten (10) days. Mr. Cline asked the Board if they would reconsider if his clients only built two tennis courts on the Nor~h side and none on the South side. In response, the Chairman stated the ordinance must be upheld and the rights of the residents and visitors considered. e MINUTES - The Chairman presented the minutes of the meet- ing of August 25, 1977, for consideration. Hearing no objections, h~ declared the minutes approved in accordance with copies sub~ mitted to each board member in writing. ',' ,( ... Ifr.. ... I,...." " /i , , " 9/8/.77 . f ~.. 3. +.
