3 – Continued Requests
: None.
4 – New Request
:
4.1. Case: MIS2011-03001 – 1 Windward Island – Legal Description: Island Estates of
Clearwater Unit 4 Lot 18 – Agent: Katherine Cole, Esq.; Appellants: David & Aileen Bair –
Request: Variance Relief from 18-foot setback to seawall to allow construction a accessory
structure.
Katie Cole, representing David & Aileen Bair, said the applicants requested relief from
the requirement that accessory structures be built at least 18 feet from the seawall. She said
the swimming pool is 13 feet from the seawall. She said the applicant intends to construct,
within 10 feet of the seawall, a covered outdoor living space on two concrete pads. She said
interlocking pavers will be installed, retaining access to the deadmen.
In response to questions, Building Official Kevin Garriott said the City cannot locate
information related to approval of installing the swimming pool in its location. The outdoor
space will be similar to a covered patio. The City has no objections.
Member Richter moved that the Building/Flood Board of Adjustment and Appeals
approved the request to grant a variance to construct a covered patio living space within 18 feet
of the seawall at 1 Windward Island, based on the design, as long as access to the deadmen is
not restricted. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
