Mr. Holste provided a depiction of the entryway similar to what Mayor Mr. Holste stated that the architect could refine the design between the 30% and! 50% stages, based on the Town Council's feedback.

PAGE 60F1 12  09182024    Mr. Finer, representing the property owners Eleanor Bonfini and Donna Pierro, discussed a variance request for two structures that were built without permits. He acknowledged the after-the-fact nature of the request and explained that this variance was the first step in obtaining building permits, which would be followed by inspections and compliance with zoning and stormwater He emphasized that the owners would address any issues found during the permit process and would comply with building department regulations. Mr. Finer outlined the unique hardship posed by the property's location on a corner lot, which requires a 30-foot side yard setback, which made it impossible to build accessory structures without a variance. Additionally, the property had a portion of land taken up by a sewer lift station, further complicating the layout. The variance permitted a new outdoor structure to replace a previously existing tiki hut that had been on the property for over ten (10) years. The new structure served as an outdoor eating area for the pool and was built with materials meeting hurricane codes. Mr. Finer clarified that the shed on the property was used for gardening storage and did not contain plumbing or a kitchen. He also addressed the front access way, which was already in place when the clients purchased the property. Finally, Mr. Finer noted that the owners understood the need for permits and the Mayor Paul raised concerns about the need for permits for tiki huts and questioned whether trees had been removed for1 the installation ofthe new: structures and pavers.

Mr. Finer responded that the runoff not only went into the pool but that there was space between the pavers and grass under the river rock, the pool Mr. Finer explained that if the variance request were granted, the property owners would be required to gothrough at full engineering review before any permits could be issued, including after- the-fact permits for the existing structure. He clarified that the property owners could not move forward with permits or construction until surface water drainage concerns were addressed, and the town's engineering requirements were met. While the property owners believed they met the drainage requirements, the town engineering review was not yet completed, as review was Mr. Finer further stated that if the Town Council preferred for the property owners to proceed with a full review of the project, which included all aspects of the engineering, structural, and electrical plans, prior to the variance being approved by the Town Council, they were willing to undertake this process.
