Permit stairs in the front and rear - up to 48 inches. And up to 2ft on side setback.

* * *

Only allow for homes that will be elevated? Or Everyone? Board agrees everyone.

Structural foundations / Pilings up to 36 inches into set back? Yes.

SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT / CHANGE LOOK BACK TO PER PROJECT COMPLETION Ms. Herig said our CRS consultant did not believe the town would lose many points with changing the look back. He also suggested discussing with FEMA

The Board also discussed screening for raised HVAC units - and decided to remove screening requirement.

| Kim Harr | Substantial improvement is more than points. It is a FEMA requirement and noncompliance puts residents at risk with NFIP. | | | --- | --- | --- |

POOL DISTANCE TO PRIMARY RESIDENCE

3 feet is common. Planner Dixon will add 2 feet coping requirement for safety.

| CJ Hoyt | Need to look at other types of raised pools. The town should allow residents to build pools higher in case of flood. | | | --- | --- | --- |

SYNTHETIC TURF AND ROCK/SHELL

Ground cover permitted - yes.

\*50% maximum area.

LOT COVERATE - DEFINE MIN/MAX AND POSSIBLY INCREASE TO 45% Increase from 40-45%. Maximum 45%.

AMOUNT OF FREEBOARD ABOVE BFE

Section 16.12.3 of the Florida Building Code amends to 3 feet. Our town code needs updating. Town code Chapter 63 adopted the FL code and amended it. The stricter of the 2 elevations will apply. The code needs to be cleaned up.

BOAT SLIPS

Gulf Blvd businesses requested to include slips as park of parking. The Building Official is not in favor of this. He thought it goes against Florida Building Code. Planner Dixon will research.

6. ADJOURNMENT

Attorney Meyer will create the LDR ordinance to go before the Commission for formal adoption.

Planner Dixon will summarize changes for future review.

Respectfully submitted,

There being no further business before the Board, the meeting adjourned at 7:21 p.m.
