0:03 – 0:14Speaker 4

I swear allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and the Republic, which it represents, a united nation under God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all. Good afternoon.

0:14 – 0:50Speaker 2

Welcome to the meeting of the Council on Correcting Zoning on September 16. Yes, can you? It's better to tell. Okay, welcome. Mr. Bodi, are there any announcements from the staff? Could you read to us about the functions of the zoning adjustment council?

0:54 – 1:35Speaker 1

Yes, Madam Chairman. The Council on the Correction of Zoning is a quasi-judicial body created by the Council of District Commissars in accordance with Article 62, Article 2, Section 4 of the Brivart District Code. The Council on the Correction of Zoning is authorized to consider requests for deviations from the Zoning Rules and the Rules for Placing of Markets contained in Chapter 62, Article 6 and Article 9. In accordance with the rules of appellation production of Florida, any person or individuals, in solidarity or separately dissatisfied with any decision of the Council on the correction of zoning, can, within 30 days after the date of signing the resolution, appeal to the court of competent jurisdiction for the appropriate help. Dear Chairman, today you have 7 points in your agenda.

1:36Speaker 2

Thank you. Bill, could you read us the definition of the concept of excessive difficulties?

1:45 – 2:49Speaker 1

Excessive difficulties are situations when permission to deviate from the norm can be provided if it does not contradict the public interest and if, due to special conditions, the literal use of the position of this chapter will lead to unnecessary and excessive difficulties. The term excessive difficulties has a specific legal definition in this context and, in fact, means that a claimant will not be able to reasonably use the specified property in accordance with the current rules of the construction. Personal medical reasons will not be considered as the basis for establishing excessive difficulties, enough for the plaintiff to claim permission. Economic reasons can be considered only in cases when the landowner cannot provide reasonable use or reasonable profit in accordance with the current construction rules. The applicant must answer six questions in the questionnaire to determine the reasons for deviating from the norm. The Commission for Corrections will discuss these issues today with each applicant who has requested permission to deviate from the norm. Thank you.

2:52 – 4:45Speaker 2

Now I will address the members of the Commission, the plaintiffs and our audience on the procedures for today's hearings. The Commission on Regulatory Zoning is a quasi-judicial commission, members of which are appointed by the Board of Directors of the Brevard District and will use Robert's rules to hold their meetings. The Chairman asks all members of the Commission not to ask questions during the statements. After the speakers finish their speeches, we will begin to ask questions to the members of the commission representing the district of the speaker. After the questions are finished, you can ask questions to all members of the commission. The chairman will, in turn, provide the floor to each member of the commission. After all members of the commission have finished their questions, we will provide the floor to the audience that may be present to speak about the statement of the speaker. To any of those present in the audience who wish to speak, will be given the opportunity to appeal to the Commission only once. At the end of the public comments, the plaintiff will be given additional time to refute, as well as to present his final remarks. After that, no further comments from the plaintiff or the public will be heard. Then the question is passed on to consideration and decision-making with the Council. We will not use the timer at this meeting. Instead, we ask each speaker to be brief in their statements. It is important that you remain within the framework of the topic and avoid any information that has nothing to do with the case. All speakers must indicate their name and address for the public protocol. Those who do not want to name their address verbally can ask the secretary at the tribune for an address card. Please fill it in and return it to the secretary. Do I have any changes in the meeting protocol? When was it? August 19.

4:45Speaker 1

I propose to accept the meeting protocol of the Council from August 19, 2026 in the form in which it was presented to us. Excuse me, August 19, 2026. I support this proposal. Good.

5:04Speaker 2

The meeting protocol is approved. Mr. Bodi, please start.

5:08 – 5:42Speaker 1

Yes, I have an amendment. In fact, in today's agenda there are 8 points. I did not look at the back of the page. And H1, George and Carolyn Mayer request two deviations from Chapter 62, Article 6 of the Code of our district for the main construction and construction in the TRC-1 zone. Application 26V00049. It is located in District 3, and this item was postponed to the meeting of the Board of Directors on August 19, 2026. Wonderful. Who here can speak on behalf of? Dwayne Diggins, here, at Dwayne Diggins, 3705 3rd Avenue.

5:42Speaker 2

Could you please raise the microphone?

6:00Speaker 1

I say. Eh, at 3705 3rd Avenue, Malabar, Florida. I am a contractor.

6:07Speaker 2

Okay, could you raise your hand? You swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. Yes. Okay.

6:17Speaker 1

Go on. So, what did I stop at?

6:19Speaker 2

Your name is Duane.

6:20 – 7:20Speaker 1

I am Duane. This is my address, 3705 3rd Avenue, Malabar. I am a contractor and a house owner agent at this address. So, we have an old house in Barefoot Bay. We are trying to repair, but one corner of the house is shifted by one and a half inches, and you know how it works. Over the past few years, everyone had to bring the house in accordance with the requirements of the zoning, in order to get permission for additional work on the landscaping. And the house itself? looks the same as before, nothing has changed. It has been there for 30 years. And people, buying for cash, do not understand that the house is a little displaced. Therefore, when they try to repair, we face this. Therefore, we just ask for this slight deviation, so that we can make some improvements. Good.

7:33Speaker 2

It's normal.

7:43 – 8:51Speaker 1

When you say that they bought for cash, they were ordering mizhevani at that time. No, and usually no. When these guys buy for cash, they never make you a new topographic shoot. So, they, they, they, they. It was based on an already registered topographic shoot. Yes, obviously, a new topographic shoot is never required when it comes to cash. You mentioned a small retreat, but there is also a problem with the area. That's right, and they have a very unique, as you can see on the drawing, this huge arch, a huge room with a mosquito net. I saw, you know, maybe 10 such houses in the area of ​​Bearfoot Bay. They are very proud of this. I don't know how to fix it. But we hope that we can move on. It was allowed. Mosquito net. I have no idea. I have no idea. I have no idea. Okay. Do you have any questions?

8:54Speaker 3

No, I have no questions. My only question is, do we legalize this space for anything else, or what is the plan? No, we are just asking. They are trying to rebuild the existing canopy for the car in the garage.

9:13Speaker 1

That's all. We will not adjust or build anything. Okay.

9:15Speaker 3

I have no questions if you leave for a while. Okay. Is there anyone here? Who could speak for or against?

9:22Speaker 2

I don't see anyone. Do you want to come back?

9:41Speaker 1

Final remarks. I just hope that you all have a good day. I hope the road home will be dry. Thank you.

9:47 – 9:58Speaker 3

Well, I can't make a proposal for approval or rejection, but ... I will make a proposal. Here. I see you. March 4, okay.

10:05Speaker 1

I propose to approve this application for deviation from the norm on the basis of the survey from March 4, 2022. Okay, I support this. Okay, the request for deviation from the norm is accepted.

10:14Speaker 3

Thank you. I propose to vote for the acceptance of deviation from the norm. All for.

10:34Speaker 3

Your deviation from the norms is accepted.

10:37Speaker 2

Please. Mr. Body, next. Yes.

10:45 – 11:00Speaker 1

On page 2, Bruce B. Packard Sr. and Claire H. Packard request permission to deviate from zoning rules in accordance with Article 62, Chapter 6 of the Brivart District Code for auxiliary construction in the Arar-1 Zone. Statement 26B00044. It is in District 1. Good.

11:11Speaker 2

Hello. Hello. Can you tell me your name and address? Okay, raise your right hand.

11:15 – 12:19Speaker 1

Are you going to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Yes, ma'am. Okay, what do you have? We have a plot that has a unique shape. It has the shape of a sector. The difference in size from the front and from the back is about 30 feet. I think this plot is about 2 acres. There has already been concrete since the house was built. I think the house has been there for 10 or 15 years. Since then, the land has been waterproof. Now he bought a caravan and wants to store it in a shed. Therefore, we want to build a shed on this non-permeable concrete site for water to close its house. And if you look at the layout of the site, then the front part of the construction is within reach. But since the site has the shape of a sector, we crossed the line about 4.5 feet from the back. Okay. Is there anything else? No, ma'am.

12:31Speaker 3

No, okay. Questions.

12:35Speaker 3

This is in the first district, and Sonya is not here today.

12:38 – 13:11Speaker 1

Did you contact the neighbor on the side that may be affected by the retreat? I wanted to. I talked to Bruce and Claire, but they did not contact them, probably for five or six years. They are quite silent there. I have an aerial photo shoot on which you can see that the entire backyard is covered with grass. Is there a fence between the plots? No, there is a living meadow. A meadow made of grass.

13:11Speaker 3

Okay. In the aerial photo shoot, this house on wheels is really there.

13:18Speaker 1

Yes, ma'am, I have a photo, if you want to see.

13:21Speaker 3

Here it is, what we have. Okay, yes, yes.

13:23Speaker 1

And you just want.

13:29Speaker 3

Создать больше пространства между.

13:31Speaker 4

Нет, нет, мы, мы. Поверх бетона, где сейчас стоит его дом на колесах. Мы просто хотим накрыть дом на колесах конструкцией.

13:37Speaker 3

Без дополнительного бетона. Хорошо.

13:39Speaker 1

Нет, мэм, у. Меня нет вопросов.

13:41Speaker 3

У вас есть вопросы? Мой вопрос был задан. Хорошо. Спасибо.

13:47 – 13:59Speaker 2

Good. That's all. Good. Give us a second to see if there is anyone who could speak out on our behalf. Step aside. Stay closer. So as not to leave. Yes. Is there anyone here who could speak out for or against? Come up.

14:04 – 15:38Speaker 3

Hello, how are you? I'm fine. How are you? Fine. Please, tell me your name and address. I'm Jill Whitson, 7682 Windover Way, Tightsville, Florida. Okay. I swear to tell the whole truth, only the truth. Yes, God will help me. Yes, God will help you. Okay. What will you tell us? My mother-in-law lives next to this plot, and she has been living there since a lot of houses were built, and in the description of the plot that he talks about, it is indicated that there is already a platform for a caravan. A garage for a caravan with an area of ​​1755 sq. ft. And, as more and more people move there, the noise level increases, we hear squeaking and so on, and I know what business they have there. And we worry that, having built another building there, we will give them more space to work on laying water pipes and kitchen repairs. We are more worried about the noise level during the day. The LIS family comes to us. She has rabbits, raccoons and all sorts of small animals, and as we get closer to her plot, we are a little afraid that the noise level will increase, and the number of wild animals will decrease. And, if you look at the plot, there is a place on the other side or in front of their house to put this building. It does not have to be near her house. That's what bothered us. Okay. Thank you very much. Please. Let's wait a second if he has any questions.

15:47Speaker 1

You say that they run a business there.

15:50 – 16:16Speaker 3

When I looked on the Internet, it turned out that there is a company called Packer Enterprises LLC. And when I looked at the annual reports, the name and address of the current registrar are indicated there, as well as the email address and the main place of activity Morning Dove. Do you want to see them?

16:16 – 16:28Speaker 1

No. You can pass it on to the employees. Okay. My question to employee RR1, does this allow easy industry?

16:28Speaker 3

This is a rural residential area.

16:31 – 17:01Speaker 1

Yes, this is a rural residential area. This allows business at home. I'm not sure what kind of business they run there. I just want to clarify how well I know the registration of companies. In the local You can specify the address. This does not mean that this is the place where the work is carried out. It can be just a registered office or something else. That's why I doubt if everything is in order. Do you have personal information about this?

17:01Speaker 3

I haven't gone there to talk yet. Okay.

17:03Speaker 4

I raised this question in our homeowner association, and they were going to check it, because in our

17:12 – 17:31Speaker 3

I am trying to remember what they are called, the gentleman who is engaged in this. Yes, I have a statute, but the gentleman who affirms preliminary permissions had to do this, and I could not get an answer from him. Therefore, I raised this question at a meeting of the administration two days ago. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Do you want to come back?

17:31 – 18:50Speaker 1

Yes. I want to ask you the same question. Are they really doing commercial activity there, or is it just a registered address? So, there is a home office. Mr. Packer now has a house on wheels, because he retired about two months ago. M. Here is his profession, a contractor for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems for the Federal Civil Aviation Administration . His work is highly specialized and is carried out on site. M. In fact, work is not carried out on a home facility. M. He is fond of car races, he likes it, he has a garage where he drives his cars. But as for, you know, part of his work is large pipelines, welding, everything that is mostly done on the spot, you know, because they work on towers up to 330 feet high. You know, I think MCO was his last job before retiring. So, I think, to answer her, he, you know, this is part of his life in the house on wheels, completion of life and moving forward. So what? But there is a home office.

18:51Speaker 4

Do you know if they have a site somewhere or some other facility in case they don't have equipment in place?

18:59 – 19:20Speaker 1

In most cases, these works, which he works on, are very specialized, taking into account the specifics of the work of the control tower. Preparation takes years, and they also have training sites related to the work they are doing at the moment. On the spot? On the spot, yes, sir.

19:21 – 19:32Speaker 1

Yes. And this, you know, is the FAA control tower. The control tower at the airport is located only at the airport. Therefore, their work covers the entire southeast. Good. Thank you. Yes, sir.

19:32 – 19:43Speaker 3

I have one more question. I thought that the main design of the platform was already there, and you were just going to install a canopy where the caravan will be located.

19:45 – 20:07Speaker 1

There is a separate garage. We want to install a separate, more temporary design from the outside. M. Its separate garage is not actually attached to the house. It is attached to the house. That is, it has a plastered facade, the same roof line. It was built at the same time as the house. In fact, this is just a garage for the house. We want to attach to it on the side a separate standing building for the caravan.

20:09Speaker 2

Okay, and it will be more. It will be more than what we already have.

20:16Speaker 3

No, not at all more. I said that, right? That is, you are keeping the same profile.

20:20Speaker 1

Yes, ma'am. Okay. I have no more questions.

20:24Speaker 3

My only question is, is there a way to reduce it or is it impossible?

20:32Speaker 1

Unfortunately, not with the house we chose. There is not so much space to give it up. Good. It was, perhaps, a decisive factor in choosing the size of the building. Good. Good.

20:42 – 21:05Speaker 3

I think that's all. Good. We need to discuss this. Good. We need to discuss this. I will make a proposal. Good. I will make a proposal to approve the deviation from the norm, as indicated in the statement provided by the plan from 22426. I support. Do we have a proposal? Do we need to discuss?

21:05Speaker 1

We need to vote. Vote for the approval of the correction or deviation from the norm, as requested. All for.

21:15 – 21:33Speaker 3

Say yes. Your. The deviation from the norms is accepted. Excuse me. Thank you. Mr. Bodi, number three.

21:37 – 21:55Speaker 1

Yes, out of the three. Claudia and Michael Canestro are asking for a deviation from the norms of Article 62 of the 6th Code of the Broward District for auxiliary construction in the Arar-1 zone. Appointment number 26V00052. This is located in the area.

21:55Speaker 3

Good afternoon, how are you?

22:02Speaker 1

Michael Canestro, Michigan Street, 2761, Melbourne, Florida, 32904. Will you swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth?

22:09Speaker 3

Yes, God help me. Okay. What have you prepared for us?

22:17Speaker 1

I just ask for permission to deviate from the construction standards for the barn, which has been there for 40 years.

22:25Speaker 1

I have no idea why they ask me to move it or something like that. Okay. That's all, nothing.

22:33Speaker 3

Didn't it serve this occasion, neither neighbors, nor anything else?

22:36Speaker 1

No, I'm doing a construction to the house, which is completely separated from the barn, and they came up and said, oh, you have a barn that is too close to the border. Good, good.

22:50Speaker 3

Okay, anything else? No, it's pretty simple.

22:52Speaker 1

Okay, okay. I have questions for him.

22:56Speaker 3

Hello again.

22:57 – 23:32Speaker 1

Hi, I visited this place. M, this area is well maintained. Yes. M, you are also repairing the house. M, this is in order to legalize the existing M state. And M, as far as I can see, there is a fence and a barn there. Well, M, if he is not hidden, then it is obvious that he has been standing there for a long time without complaints.

23:32 – 23:48Speaker 2

So what? No, I have no questions. Okay, if you allow me, let's see if anyone is against. Is there anyone who opposes or approves? I don't see anyone, come back. Is there any discussion?

23:48Speaker 3

No, I will make a proposal. I will make a proposal.

23:52Speaker 1

I will make a proposal. And then we will vote. What is the date in this plan? How much time has passed?

24:00Speaker 2

13.07. 13.07. Good.

24:01Speaker 1

I make a proposal for confirmation. Applications to change the zoning on the basis of the proposed plan from July 13, 2026. I support this.

24:18Speaker 2

Vote for approval of the request for deviation from the norm. All for. Say yes. For. For. Thank you. Your request has been approved.

24:26Speaker 1

The documents have been sent by mail.

24:29Speaker 3

I will send them to you.

24:34Speaker 3

Mr. Bodi, we are quickly discussing all this. Could you read us H4 today? Yes.

24:43 – 25:00Speaker 1

H-4, Roberto E. Cotto-Asevedo, Mary Fernandez and Robert Cotto-Asevedo request a deviation from the provisions of Article 62, Article 6 of our District Code to install a fence in the TR-1 zone. Application 26B00053 is in District 1. Come in.

25:16Speaker 2

Good day. How are you? I'm fine. My name is Mary Fernandez and I will translate for my husband Roberto Cotto.

25:25Speaker 1

Okay. I live at Robin Street, 360, Cocoa, Florida, 32927. Okay. And his address is the same?

25:31 – 25:52Speaker 3

His name. His address is the same. Okay. Raise your right hand. You swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. Okay. Yes, ma'am. What are we doing today? Okay. A man. A man. You need him to speak more into the microphone, or you don't care.

25:52Speaker 1

What was the question?

25:57Speaker 3

He needs to speak more into the microphone, or it doesn't matter. She translates. I will translate.

26:03Speaker 1

Yes, she is one of the owners.

26:05 – 27:23Speaker 3

So she can translate. We don't have to listen to him. No, okay. Well, we changed the fence on the left from the entrance. We changed the fence, because it was broken. And then the neighbor wanted a fence 3 feet high. And we put 6 feet. Because he is a sexual offender. And two grandchildren come to us. Therefore, we put 6 feet so that it could be covered with a tarp, the very tarp that you put so that they did not see our house. He did not want the fence to be like this. We paid for geodesic shooting so that they measured the site and told us where the fence should be. So, to be clear, for me it was 3 feet, and you did 6.

27:23Speaker 2

No, it wasn't 3 feet. He said it was 3 feet, but when we moved, it was already 6. Okay, okay. Is there anything else?

27:33Speaker 3

I don't know, miss.

27:34Speaker 3

Okay. Give us a second.

27:46Speaker 1

You said that you were going to cover the fence from the rabets net with some kind of coating.

27:51Speaker 2

Yes, it's something like a tarp, like a tarp that you use for the fence. Okay. MM.

28:01 – 28:16Speaker 1

No, everything is fine. I will not ask this question. MM, I noticed on the plan that, if the plan is true, there is a shed that is half located on the site, and half beyond it. This deviation does not spread on it, I understand. Is it true? Everything is fine there.

28:32Speaker 2

So, when we moved, it was like this, it was like this.

28:35Speaker 1

I understand that. Good. Good.

28:42 – 29:01Speaker 2

MM. Can you clearly say that you are replacing the already existing fence? He has already been replaced. And why did we replace him? He didn't want a wooden fence, and we put a mesh fence, and we didn't know that we needed permission to replace it with a mesh fence. Okay.

29:01 – 29:24Speaker 3

And he called the construction standards control service. But we paid the permission to deviate from the standards and already paid a fine. Okay. That is, you moved from a wooden fence to a mesh fence, but the height remained the same. The height is the same. Good. And in the same place. Yes. Good. Thank you. I don't quite understand how to interpret this.

29:24Speaker 2

Thank you. Good. I think the only thing I don't understand is whether this one is blocking this review from one side to the other, or this one, what he wants, or this one, what you want.

29:35 – 29:53Speaker 3

We want to put a tarp between the fence and our property, so that it does not look at our territory, because we have two grandchildren. Okay. And this is not a permission to deviate from the norm. This is just what you plan to do next. Yes, this is what we plan to do next. Okay. I have no additional questions, but could you step aside for a second? Yes. Right here.

29:53 – 30:08Speaker 2

And then we'll see if there's anyone else. Is there anyone here? Who can speak for or against? I don't see anyone, if you come back. Does anyone want to make a proposal?

30:08Speaker 1

Yes, I will make a proposal to approve the deviation from the norm as it was requested and specified in the plan. 519.

30:19 – 31:02Speaker 3

519. Good. 519. 2026. 2026. Good. I support it. I propose a vote. All for accepting the request to deviate from the norm, say ya-ya. I am satisfied with your request. Thank you. Thank you. Mister. Body. Mr. Bodi, when will you be ready? H5.

31:02 – 31:19Speaker 1

Yes, H5, SMIT, topic, request for three deviations from the norm, chapter 62, article 6 of our Circular Code, concerning the width of the site, depth of the site, size of the site, as well as a statement on the classification of zoning TR1-26B00054, located in District 1. Who can speak here by name?

31:31 – 31:46Speaker 3

Seek Timo. Good. Put it off until next month. Good. We don't see anyone here on this matter. Just put it off until next month.

31:46 – 32:06Speaker 1

Yes, Madam Chairman, may I make a proposal to postpone the consideration of this statement H5 until the next meeting, which will take place in September? October. October 14th. October 14th. Until October 14th. I support this proposal. Okay, let's vote.

32:06Speaker 3

Yes, just. Vote for consideration of bill number 26V00054 until October 14th.

32:09 – 32:40Speaker 1

Mr. Bodi, H6. Yes, point H6, Miller family trust, request for two deviations from chapter 62, article 6 of our district code for the pier and zoning classification IU2, statement 26V00057. It is located in the fifth district. Okay, who can speak here by name? Please come up.

32:57Speaker 2

Hello, if possible, I would like to know the names and addresses of everyone who plans to speak.

33:03Speaker 1

My name is Jeremy Baker. My address is 2405 Apollonia Avenue, Indian Atlantic, Florida.

33:09Speaker 4

Yes, my name is Bill Miller. I live at Shoreview Lane 3, Indian Atlantic.

33:14Speaker 3

Okay. I'm Carla Miller, also at Shoreview Lane 3. Okay. You can raise your right hand. You swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. Yes, okay. Okay. Who got up?

33:28 – 33:43Speaker 1

I am a contractor, an agent. I have been working with the Miller family for a couple of months. They have a unique plot at the end of the Tupik in the Indian Atlantic. I have already been here before, on the corner plots, like you. They are our favorite.

33:44Speaker 3

Are you sure? Yes. Mine too.

33:45 – 34:58Speaker 1

In general, we asked for permission to build this pier for a single-room house with a lift. M, and this is close because of the channel performance. M, if you wanted to start a ship closer to the end of the channel, it would be best to go directly, M, without blocking too many views. And also, M, the neighboring dock to the west has already been built, so the millers tried to keep their future ship away from it during docking. M, this creates tight conditions with our proposed project on the site to the south. M. That's why we went through this process of getting permission and just trying to figure out the situation. It was nice to work with the millers. M. We know that there is definitely a small conflict with the neighboring area. Now we are trying to find a way to solve this problem. M. So, I think, we hope that we will cooperate with the council, millers and everyone who has objections to come to a good solution. So.

34:59Speaker 2

Good. Anything else?

35:03 – 35:32Speaker 4

No, except that we changed the plan to reduce the building area. Initially, we planned a U-shaped pier. We decided to make it L-shaped and remove the roof to minimize the building area and make it convenient for sailing along the canal for everyone else. I think that's all. I am open to any questions. Thank you for the opportunity to speak. Okay. Everything is fine. It's simple.

35:32Speaker 3

This is the fifth district. This is yours.

35:39 – 35:58Speaker 4

So, I visited the place, met with the protesters. I don't have one thing in front of my eyes right now, and we were doing some kind of doll representation, but do you have a scheme or something like that, showing the proposed forms of the pier, its location, something like that?

36:00Speaker 1

Yes, do you have glasses? No, no, no, no. Put it under the projector. Yes, okay.

36:05Speaker 4

You will have to pass this copy.

36:09 – 36:37Speaker 1

This is a large territory, but this is a pier. M, you see, this is a dark line, the edge of the plot, and it protrudes into a channel of 25 feet. M, and this is definitely the point of friction of all this, right here. It becomes quite. Wait a minute, is there a way to increase it? Can you do it? Oh, yes, I think I can do it, it's a little better.

36:37Speaker 4

Yes, maybe, a little better, a little shiny, but ...

36:42Speaker 1

This, this is actually, this is not it. This, this is old. Okay, we moved it a little. Okay, M, yes, it looks like there is an increase here.

36:50Speaker 2

Can you return another image? No, not here, it was wrong.

36:56Speaker 1

Here. We have a technology. It will focus. Excuse me.

37:06Speaker 3

Maybe a little less.

37:07Speaker 1

Oh, focus. So better.

37:12Speaker 3

Okay. We have it here, but it's somehow ...

37:15 – 39:01Speaker 1

Okay, yes, it's pretty difficult, because you have to think about everything on a scale. Take a pencil and just show the contour of the place where you plan to place the pier. Yes. Like this. It will be a little, so it really is not. M, but that's all. Access through the roof. This will be a lift for boats. Okay. There is no roof. There is no roof. And access is made directly from the channel. Yes, as if you are in two corners. Here is this corner, and this corner is water, and then it flows to the west, right to the place where you dock the boat. Oh, yes, here is a view of the site. No, no, no. When you dock the boat, you go in from the channel. You turn around and go in from the back. Right in. Good. And then you go out from the back. Whichever side you have to turn. What is the size of your boat? Eee, 20 feet. Good. Well, we don't have it now, but maybe. Yes, yes. And what height is this roof? The roof is not planned at all. Oh, a lift. Okay. So, there is no roof, there are only pillars. Yes, the lift is adjusted in place. Usually I set them at a height of 6.5 to 7 feet above the deck. Thus, the deck will be at a height of 3 feet. Do you know what the height of your wave wall is from the water? Oh my God! Your deck is on the same level as the wave wall. It should be. Yes. Okay. So it will be about 3 feet plus 7. That is, let's call it 10 feet from the waterline up. And the only thing there is an aluminum beam, along which cables for lifting a lift or a boat are lowered. Okay. Very detailed.

39:10 – 39:24Speaker 3

My only question is, I assume that the neighboring site with a hidden platform for the lift goes from the side of the channel or they have to go towards your site? No, they go straight. Or do they have to go in front of your site?

39:24Speaker 4

They don't even have to go in, they go straight and they have it. Jeremy, I don't know if this will help.

39:30Speaker 1

Yes, they go straight along the channel, but what is difficult to see is what they also have. Here it is, here it is.

39:40Speaker 2

Yeah, it is.

39:41 – 39:54Speaker 1

The step section of the pier and the millers wanted to provide them with access to it, but at the same time not to go too far into the territory of another section. This is a tight place to try to moor. Can you place a photo here so you can see? Yeah.

39:58Speaker 3

This is their pier. This is your neighbor. Here. Yes, this is. And your site is on the right.

40:03Speaker 4

To the right of me. And you see that they have moored their boat parallel to the wave cut.

40:10Speaker 3

Go back. Like this.

40:12 – 40:23Speaker 1

Yes. So, you see that they come in from the left. Yes, this is a narrow section that we are trying to bypass. And the same on the other side. It's narrow there too.

40:26Speaker 3

Do you feel this resistance?

40:30Speaker 3

I mean, you, obviously, changed what you initially wanted to do. To suit everyone.

40:36 – 41:01Speaker 4

Just, you know, mostly from aesthetic considerations, we thought that it looks beautiful. You can see what you say in the microphone. Yes, from aesthetic considerations, we thought that it would look much better on the channel if we didn't have a roof. I found that half of the dams on our channel have roofs, and half don't. And, you know, again, just from aesthetic considerations, so as not to block anyone's view or something like that. Okay. E-F.

41:05Speaker 3

There are questions. Here are your decryptions.

41:08Speaker 1

Here is another property of my neighbor. They need this view.

41:11Speaker 2

Well, when he stops talking, I'll ask. Okay. I have a question. Excuse me.

41:16Speaker 1

No, excuse me. House on the right in the photo.

41:23Speaker 3

We are talking about the pier at the house on the left, which you just talked about, right? There is a boat pier.

41:35 – 41:46Speaker 4

No, there is only one between the two areas. I have a neighbor on the right and a neighbor on the left. The neighbor on the right has this pier. The neighbor on the left has no pier.

41:49Speaker 3

That's right. Now, will it have any negative impact on the construction of the pier if they want to build it?

41:54 – 42:08Speaker 4

You know, we tried to work with permits for construction in this regard. I mean, if this is my neighbor, he has a pier at the moment.

42:08 – 42:20Speaker 3

I understand that they do not have a pier, but if they sell the house, then I mean that it is so strong in the water channel that I just do not see a place for your neighbor on the right, if you look at the picture. Can it be built here?

42:35Speaker 2

Some pier. And if they sell the house, maybe those who already have it will not want it now, but if they sell the house.

42:41Speaker 1

Of course, they can want.

42:42Speaker 2

I'm just worried that this area, which is so far away, will interfere with your neighbor on the left or on the right. They are at the end of the dead end, like me.

42:56Speaker 1

I understand. If they built a pier, they would have the same problems as I do.

43:04Speaker 3

No, that is, they would have a new problem, because there will be this expansion.

43:10Speaker 4

Right, but I mean if they built a pier, because the borders of their area are perpendicular.

43:16Speaker 4

The one who buys a house and wants to build a pier will also have to apply for permission to deviate from the norm.

43:23Speaker 1

I understand this. Yes.

43:28Speaker 3

But taking into account the fact that this exit is so far away, this, of course, will be a limitation if the neighbor on the right wants to build or set up a pier.

43:39Speaker 4

and I will give you the opportunity to speak on this matter.

43:42 – 44:30Speaker 1

Yes, the outburst mainly occurs because you cannot enter the ship from the side, as most people entering the channel can do. They have, you know, sections over 100 feet long. They build a side lift for boats parallel to the wave cut and enter directly into the channel. In this case, I mean that a very small ship can pass on two sides. If a neighbor built a pier on the site you are talking about, he would also, probably, go further. This is something that needs to be taken into account, in order to safely enter the boat. I don't know how important opinions are here. Exit seems to be not the most difficult part of this construction. It will be a shift back by seven and a half feet.

44:33Speaker 3

Good. So, on the photo that you posted, which part of this pier already exists, and which one are you trying to add to it? Will the whole pier be built?

44:45Speaker 1

It will be a new construction. There is already a small pier.

44:52Speaker 3

Mark it with a pen so that I can see what is already there.

44:56Speaker 4

V. Basically, I'm not sure exactly where it is on the map, but this is mostly a small pier.

45:02Speaker 1

But this part, on which we are standing, will be somewhere here.

45:06 – 45:17Speaker 3

So this is what you have. Yes, this is it. Good. This is what exists now. Correct. Good.

45:17Speaker 4

And then you can see the pier of my neighbor.

45:21 – 45:42Speaker 3

And your neighbor on the right, which I always say on the right, is a little further away, where you have an L-shaped shape. Right, right, good. So, now you are expanding this pier by how many feet further into the waterway? It is suggested 25 feet. Well, from the wave cut further from this pier, it will probably be about 18 feet.

45:50Speaker 4

Approximately 8 feet further than the city building code allows.

45:53Speaker 3

And why do you want to move another 18 feet? Well, so that we can lower the boat right now.

45:56Speaker 1

That is, you cannot lower the boat where it is now? Unfortunately. Unfortunately, we cannot.

46:01Speaker 3

Why? Oh, because of zoning. If we put the boat right there, we would go beyond the site. I think so.

46:20Speaker 1

You can see it in the corner of this photo. Neighbour. The fence of the neighbouring plot.

46:27Speaker 3

Who will work first, you or the neighbour on the right?

46:32Speaker 4

No, I don't think so.

46:37Speaker 1

I don't. I think there is enough space for both plots to be suitable for using the pier.

46:49 – 47:08Speaker 3

Here is another question. In your current proposal, it seems that it is justified to place the pier closer to the center of the canal. And, it seems, you are doing this on behalf of your neighbor so that his pier remains suitable for use. Is it possible to move it closer to the center?

47:14Speaker 4

Well, we were worried that it would not affect the shipbuilding on the right side of my neighbor's pier.

47:18 – 47:31Speaker 3

Yes, but if they come directly from the channel, and you come directly to your lift. Yes. I mean, this may hinder the review a little, I suppose, but it seems that it will be easier to move it in this direction.

47:39 – 47:51Speaker 2

And then no one will go into the water at the lower level with you while you load your boat or ... What do you think? I got a little confused in your question.

47:51Speaker 4

Well, you see, with your dock right here, right?

47:53 – 48:11Speaker 2

If I'm right, I imagine the template provided to you, it seems that your boat will go right into the same place. Right, the lift will be very similar to the one if you drove right there.

48:11Speaker 4

I think it's about 15-18 feet from the border of the site, so maybe a little further. Or from the center. Okay.

48:17Speaker 1

Yes, so if we ... Do you mean that it can be too far or too far?

48:24Speaker 2

I would say that this pier is almost in the center of the wave cut.

48:35 – 48:48Speaker 4

To bring the boat there, we had to extend it a little to the left, closer to the border of the site. Move back. I think it's seven and a half feet. I think it's nine feet. I guess, Jeremy.

48:48Speaker 2

Yes, it's the opposite of what I'm saying. I say, bring it closer to the other border of your site.

48:53Speaker 4

We didn't want to interfere with the existing pier.

48:59Speaker 2

M. But for this there is no request for deviation from the norm, right? That is, it can be moved closer to the shore. Yes, yes.

49:07Speaker 1

And then we won't need a request for deviation from the norm.

49:10Speaker 2

We still need an exit permit. Well, maybe. And we'll need an exit permit. But it won't be that far into the canal. Well.

49:16Speaker 4

Yes. If we had kept the length of the previous pier, we would have requested further expansion beyond the allowed deviation.

49:24Speaker 3

Not to the central line.

49:25 – 49:41Speaker 4

Because, to the central line. Yes, it would be, I mean. Now we are as close as possible to the central line. If we moved it to the other side, then the request to deviate from the norm would be more related to the placement of the boat.

49:44 – 49:59Speaker 2

But it would be the placement of the existing structure, which already exists, unlike the unknown, and would potentially exclude the possibility of moving to another dead end or another house.

49:59Speaker 1

Is it clear? Yes, it is completely clear.

50:01 – 50:16Speaker 2

Good. So, perhaps, in this world it would be possible to move it down and slightly reduce the pier to ensure access to the boat lift closer to the center of your site, and not in the middle of the channel.

50:16 – 50:47Speaker 1

As for the boat lift, yes. Part of the pier is 6 by 10 feet in size, which we would need to remove, because There would be nothing to do there. It would be possible, but you would have to ride on small bikes or bikes between this section and the place where the black aluminum fence is located, which is located on the north or west side, sorry. S. West side. Okay.

50:47Speaker 3

So what? I think it makes sense. And do they need to see their neighbors first? Do you understand what I'm asking about? Yes, I understand.

50:58Speaker 2

It was not an option or you did not discuss it?

51:01Speaker 4

No, we discussed it.

51:04Speaker 4

I thought about it, but, you know, I just agreed with Jeremy's proposal regarding the fact that it would be best suited for submitting a request for deviation from the norm.

51:13Speaker 3

This will be the best option for submitting a request for deviation from the norm, because it will be minimal. This is also a question of depth, because ... Yes, but if you ... Come in directly.

51:24 – 51:59Speaker 4

Well, look what is in the center of the channel. We have a huge problem with the eel. Our channel is not washed, and this can become a real problem when navigating. The closer to the center of the channel, the deeper. When the channel was initially deepened, its depth was 4 feet on the sides and 8 feet in the middle. Now there are days when the eel rises to the surface. So, from the point of view of navigation, if it is useful, it will be beneficial for us if it is closer to the center. I understand. Good.

52:01Speaker 3

I think this answers my question. This will help from the border of my neighbor's area.

52:08Speaker 1

It depends on them. Yes, yes. Is there anything else? M, let's see. This is displayed.

52:13 – 52:36Speaker 2

It confused me. M, I need something else. I just wanted to show the border of the neighbor's area. This is a wave cut. Yes. This is a neighbor who has no pier and what they will have to work with. Do you understand?

52:37 – 53:08Speaker 1

Okay. But if you show another drawing where you have laid out your concept. You will see how it comes out directly into the water channel and your neighbor will do the same. He will face the same problem.

53:11Speaker 2

Do you happen to have a photo of the site next to the western section? A physical photo, as you just showed. The site with the western view. This will be a general plan.

53:23Speaker 1

M, I think it could be. This one.

53:26Speaker 2

The one, but turned to the west. This one.

53:31 – 53:43Speaker 1

Okay, sorry, give them this. Yes, let's take a look at this site. This is what it looks like. Here, please, where is this?

53:43Speaker 3

Okay. Is there a way to find out if they needed permission to deviate from the norms for this particular pier?

53:55Speaker 1

I think for the existing pier. Yeah. No, they don't have a new one.

53:58 – 54:11Speaker 3

No, so they are within their rules regarding how far they are allowed to go beyond the channel. They will allow. 20% of 110 feet. Okay. And, of course, no, as for how far they go into the channel. Because that's what he says. It is allowed to go beyond 110 feet. That is, they are asking.

54:26 – 54:37Speaker 1

The sum above this. Of course, our situation is connected with the end of the dead end and the problem of width. Exactly. Right, right, that's what we're dealing with.

54:38Speaker 2

Yeah. How is your neighbor, if that's the case?

54:44Speaker 3

So, the first one comes in.

54:47Speaker 1

Well, I mean, I would be glad if my neighbor did the same.

54:51 – 55:06Speaker 2

So, my only other question. In your sketch, is there an opportunity to just moor or, excuse me, just go up to the lift, and then get access to the lift for the pier? I know that you need a kind of platform, but ... Explain it again. What, u-u? You almost have an L-shaped shape, right?

55:07Speaker 1

A pier or something like that.

55:09Speaker 2

How to change the configuration?

55:11Speaker 1

This is what you were talking about.

55:18Speaker 4

Yes, if we absolutely needed it, then the best option would be to have the opportunity to go straight, and not try to maneuver and influence navigation with my neighbor from the west. Okay.

55:27 – 55:45Speaker 2

And there is also a problem with depth. And, of course, a problem with depth. Okay. I think I got it. Okay, anything else?

55:45Speaker 1

No, no, ma'am.

55:46 – 56:03Speaker 2

Okay, you just step aside and we'll see if we have enemies. Is there anyone who can speak for or against? Prices, okay, go down. Hello.

56:04Speaker 1

Hi, how are you?

56:05Speaker 2

Fine. How are you doing? Please, tell me your names and addresses.

56:09Speaker 1

My name is John McAllis. I live on Foreshore View Lane. This is my wife, Julie.

56:13Speaker 2

Julie McAllis, Foreshore View Lane. Good. You swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. Yes.

56:20Speaker 2

Good. What do you know?

56:24Speaker 3

Good. You indicated the address, but where are you relative to this house? I'm a neighbor.

56:32Speaker 2

We are neighbors on the right. Without a pier. With the plans to build a pier a few years ahead. Yes, okay. Thank you.

56:40Speaker 1

So, if you look, what exactly are you saying, yeah, you noticed all the new papers that I just put there, papers for $ 16,000.

56:48 – 57:17Speaker 2

We bought this house about 5 years ago, and, unfortunately, it was in a terrible state. Therefore, we completely repaired it, lived there with two small children and always wanted to build a pier. We turned to our neighbors and said, you know what, let's figure out together how to better use our water rights. Unfortunately, they did not contact us. This is at what stage we are now.

57:19Speaker 1

Our idea was to use the rights as it should be. This central line is the border of our area, which runs along our rights.

57:24 – 57:39Speaker 2

We wanted to move away from it by 7.5 feet and lay a sidewalk tile along it to get a solid design. Thus, everyone will have space, not only with us, but also with our neighbors through the dead end, so that their view of the water is not blocked either. We still have a concrete pipe here, for the replacement of which I also paid.

57:47 – 57:59Speaker 1

It seems, in the district administration or somewhere else. And this is also a small security problem. This, this is close. Okay. But do you have any questions?

57:59Speaker 3

You obviously did not issue a permission, right?

58:05Speaker 1

No, I think, I did not know that the principle works, who is first, will get it, yes.

58:09Speaker 2

We would like to work with our neighbor and come up with something. Okay. But this is your supposed plan. No contractors are hired, nothing like that.

58:19Speaker 1

With a couple of contractors with our neighbor. Okay. And they went their own way, because, I think, they, perhaps, understood what was going on. Okay.

58:27Speaker 2

Bill has a few questions. Ask, Bill.

58:34 – 59:00Speaker 1

So, on the diagram that you show, you support seven and a half feet by one hundred percent. Absolutely. What is the practical purpose of the water barrier between your supposed pier and its supposed pier? This water area, what is the practical purpose of this area? Practical purpose.

59:00Speaker 2

I would say, safety.

59:02 – 59:15Speaker 1

Safety is the most important thing, but do you see this concrete pipe? Yes, and from this pipe, I think, a lot of things flow out, or the water flows out of there, because it is from our dead end, so we try to keep this place as open as possible.

59:15Speaker 2

They come and clean it, I think. Aesthetics also matters.

59:18 – 59:45Speaker 1

This double structure blocks this pipe. I'm not sure. I just don't know if it will block. But from an aesthetic point of view, it may look a little strange. But your boat will stand in the middle between your two piers, right? Okay. That's all, that's all you have. That's all I have.

59:45Speaker 3

No, I have no questions.

59:47Speaker 1

No questions.

59:48Speaker 3

Is there anything else?

59:53Speaker 1

I think that's all.

59:55 – 1:00:15Speaker 2

Okay, let's see if there's anyone else. Thank you. Thank you. Hello. How are you? I'm fine. How are you? Fine. First, tell me your name and address. My name is Dr. Marianne Makki. I live at Shoreview Lane, House 2. I'm a neighbor on the other side.

1:00:16 – 1:01:40Speaker 2

M.M., please raise my right hand. Yes, ma'am. You swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. Yes, ma'am. Okay. Are you the one with the pier? No, it's not me. M.M., we live in a small dead end. There are only three houses here. Давайте попробуем правильно расшифровать. Хорошо, мой дом вот здесь. ММ, это не очень помогает. Water here, through the water channel. Yes, ma'am. So, here they are. Good. So, you live right through the water channel from people with a pier. Or, for example, a door-covered pier for people who have a pier. I live next door to the declarer, right? I live next door to the declarer. My house is not worth the water. But there are three houses in the dead end. They have the shape of a pit. The house of the declarer has the shape of a pit, and the house of the previous declarer at Shoreview Lane 4 is the place where all this vegetation is now. This is an old photo. It is from MLS, and you can see how the house looked before the reconstruction. I have another photo. I don't understand this at all.

1:01:40Speaker 3

No, I think, no one understands.

1:01:42 – 1:06:38Speaker 2

It is somehow inverted. Okay. So, I know that Ms. Bass asked earlier if there is a photo. Excuse me. Dr. Bass. Dr. Bass, I'm sorry. So, this is a photo of the existing pier marked in pink, and I highlighted what the proposed pier will look like. I am concerned that, yes, their plot has a unique physical shape, but, as we have already discussed, house 4 on Shore View Lane also has a unique shape. Therefore, I believe that the desire to build this large pier and, perhaps, to park a boat there is rather a personal preference, and I think that the corresponding design standards can be built within 20% of the width and 7.5 feet of distance. As I said, I have lived in this area for more than 9 years with my young family. I have four children, and this small pier has been there since we have been living there. Here is another photo that I want to show. Forward, here. Like this. That's how I need it. Sorry. Okay, that was a photo. Move, pull. In the other direction. No, I mean here. No, no, here, there, here. Okay. My spatial skills. Okay, I'm sorry. Here is a photo that was posted on the advertising booklet when we bought a house. There they advertised that an unobtrusive view of the water, the river, opens from the house. That's exactly what we bought the house for. My husband and four children are playing hide-and-seek, enjoying the view, we have a rocking chair in front of the house. My children grew up there. The eldest is now studying in the 9th grade at Mela Middle School, he went to kindergarten. This is our home forever. Another point that worries me very much is overpopulation. We have already discussed this. The safety of my sons is caught fishing from the coastal wall. And if there are a lot of boats and dams there, it will be just unbearable. My children also ride boidarks. We have boidarks, which we lower into the water in the canal, and I just ask the government to officially reject the application for a deviation from the norm on case number 26V00057. What else do I want? This really reduces the cost of my real estate. And my view from the window. A distance of 7.5 feet and a rule of 20% width are set to preserve the clean open water corridor and the integrity of our area. We have a very quiet and picturesque area. People often stop to admire this view, and we really like it, you know. But, having moved these additional 8 feet towards the water channel and narrowing the side buffer zone, this building will actually block my house from the view of open water. Losing my house in the dead end of the usual view of the embankment will immediately negatively affect the market value of my house. I have a couple more photos. As I said, it was another announcement, when I bought my house. View of the river, this is from the bedroom on the second floor. And I just, you know, in amazement, that it can be removed. Another photo. This is from my driveway. This is an existing pier, which they already have. And if they add it, it already looks pretty big. It's small. Our dead end is small. There are only three houses in our dead end. This is an existing structure. If we build this huge L-shaped pier, I'm just afraid that it will look very ugly, if you can put it that way. I think that's all I wanted to say. I was very categorical, but, I think, you understood my thought, and I hope that you can reject these requests for deviation from the norm, because it will affect all of us. M, and also, you know, the question of communication, if the neighbors came up and talked about it, before submitting applications for deviation from the norm, behind closed doors, it would be an interesting, unexpected process. And yes, I hope, you will vote for the refusal to issue permissions. Thank you, thank you. Wait, there are questions.

1:06:38Speaker 4

Wait, ma'am, wait. Do you have questions?

1:06:46Speaker 1

Of course. M, can you post the last photo? Of course.

1:06:49Speaker 2

Okay, here's my question.

1:06:53 – 1:07:18Speaker 1

Yes, sir. Suppose we reject the application for permission. But they redesign the pier and still decide to install it, which we can no longer influence, or the neighbors will install it, and you will still lose this view. даже без нашего участия.

1:07:21 – 1:07:49Speaker 2

Я хочу сохранить его как можно лучше, и я, знаете, выскажу свое мнение, знаете, сейчас я обожаю вид на набережную со своими детьми, и, знаете, это просто моя личная просьба. Надеюсь, вы понимаете, что это изменит. My home. It will change my life. It will be hard.

1:07:50Speaker 1

You may not answer this question, but how old are your children?

1:07:54Speaker 2

I have four children. Midasu is 14, Kalexu will soon turn 13, Misha is 10 years old, and Kako, my baby, will turn 8 on Saturday.

1:08:04Speaker 4

I ask about this only because you mentioned that they ride on kayak boats and catch fish. Right.

1:08:11Speaker 2

That's right.

1:08:12Speaker 4

That's why I'm going to ask you a humanistic question.

1:08:14Speaker 2

Yes, sir. These...

1:08:16Speaker 1

The dams are built. What do you think? The owner will refuse you. They lower their baydarks into the water and catch fish. You said that they catch fish from this dam. We can no longer use their dams.

1:08:24 – 1:09:39Speaker 2

M. When we just moved, We were friendly, and they allowed us to use the pier. And then one day they told us that we abused the right to use their pier. Although we used them only five times, I would say. Therefore, we no longer go to their territory. They included sprayers on my children. So, as such, there are no relations with the neighbors. M. Yes, my children go and ask if it is possible for them to catch fish from their shore wall on Shore View Lane, if it is possible for them to go down to the Baidarki water. And another pier to the west, in another dead end, which is not there today, but which we are talking about, they also allow us to use our pier. And the neighboring house. В другом тупике тоже разрешает нам пользоваться своим причалом. Итак, они единственные, кто не разрешает нам пользоваться своим причалом. И это нормально. Это нормально. У каждого есть свои права. Но хорошо. Спасибо. Пожалуйста. Спасибо. Есть. Еще возражения. Хотите вернуться?

1:09:39Speaker 3

Были ли еще кто-нибудь против? Хорошо. Хотите вернуться? Заключительные мысли.

1:09:55Speaker 1

As a contractor, no, I have no final thoughts.

1:09:59 – 1:10:54Speaker 4

As for the access to my property, sorry, as for the access to my property, I think they told me when they moved in that their realtor convinced them that this is a shared property. There is a drainage service and the realtor told them that they have access to the channel. We called Realtor before the sale of the house and said, couldn't you fix it in the ad and make sure that your neighbors, your client, know about this situation? We allowed people to use our pier for some time, but they had a tendency to organize parties every weekend. It came to the point that people, whom we did not even know, just docked at our pier and walked back and forth on our territory. And in the end, we had to say, please respect the borders of our property. Okay. So. Did you move here earlier or?

1:10:54Speaker 3

Yes, we have been here, it seems, since 1987.

1:10:57Speaker 4

Okay. Are there any more questions? No. Let's discuss. Yes. More. Okay.

1:11:10Speaker 3

Let's just discuss. Yeah. Okay.

1:11:13Speaker 2

Sit down for a second.

1:11:19 – 1:13:18Speaker 1

I'll start. Are you okay? I'm okay. You need to talk. You need to make sure that everyone can hear you. Yes, sir. M, a couple of moments. I'm not so worried about the waterway exit. It is located in the center of the canal. As they showed on the example of one of the neighbors, who has a dock planned, they have enough space for mooring and pumping boats. I am concerned about the view, because I don't think that The desire to have these dams is big enough for everything to get better, and the view will still disappear. I understand the fear, but I don't think that the refusal in the abandoned will save the decrease in retreat. The view. In the end, the desire to have dams, boats and everything else will outweigh it. If we rejected the applications of all the claimants because they did not like the view of the pier, then not a single pier would have been built on the Indian River lagoon. So, these are my thoughts. The proposed pier, which we are now considering, remains within the boundaries of the site, but not within the limits of servitude or retreats. So, considering all this, I am in favor and I have the right to make a proposal. Therefore, when the time comes, I will make a proposal.

1:13:18 – 1:13:52Speaker 3

So, I want to make sure that everything is clear to me. You do not mind if it will blockade 6 feet, 6.7 feet within 7.5 feet, which corresponds to the allowed range? Yes. In this situation. Good. Because the water between the two dams is not used. No one can use it anyway. But you also agree with another request.

1:13:52 – 1:14:08Speaker 1

If we move further into the channel, if it is side by side, it can become a problem. But these are the last two dams at the end of the channel. The canal itself will not hinder another movement. Correct.

1:14:08Speaker 3

And if the neighbors who are near this pier will try, well ... They showed their pier. Correct. They will not need any permission to deviate from the norm.

1:14:14Speaker 1

So, you say that they are all right.

1:14:15Speaker 3

They do not need permission to deviate from the norm, but they also have the opportunity to enter and exit the boat.

1:14:20Speaker 1

Correct. Good. I think that the size of the pier offered to them can be reduced, as they have already discussed.

1:14:37 – 1:15:11Speaker 3

And in the current form, I think, this leads to a significant decrease in the cost of existing adjacent lands. I just think that it is too big for this particular area. And there is an opportunity to return it. Good. I see that this will negatively affect the adjacent lands and the entire territory as a whole. And it doesn't have to be that big. Okay.

1:15:11 – 1:15:35Speaker 1

So, make a proposal. Yes. Let's see. I propose to approve the application on the basis of the examination and scheme presented in this application, dated 728-2026.

1:15:54Speaker 3

I can't. I can't approve it. No. I think there is an opportunity to reduce your requirements. I support.

1:16:03 – 1:17:25Speaker 3

No support. I am fully for the right to water. I don't think that MM is something you can't drag into your boat, it's MM, fair. But I also believe that there is an opportunity to reduce your requests, for example, there are many options, for example, you can make a moored site in your area, so that you have a place where you can stand or sit, because, I think, this is what you are aiming for, setting up a pier along the wave cut. And you could do something similar to what your neighbor does, just the entrance and loading of the boat. There are options. As for the depth, I do not know of a single place in the Brevard district where we would not have faced the problem of depth on a regular basis. I mean, we constantly have to clean our channel ourselves with our hoses to pull out the boat, because the water level is high or low. So I'm not saying that This is healthy. I'm just saying that I think this is not the reason. And this is the difference between what you are asking for and where the boat will be located. If you move it more than 6 feet, I don't think it will affect whether you can actually use your boat or not. So, I'm for peace in the area. MMM. Unfortunately, sorry, no.

1:17:30 – 1:17:43Speaker 2

Can we listen? Yes, I apologize. So, if you want to come back or reduce the amount a little and offer something else, I think we will definitely be able to come to a decision. So, voting. Well, no support, no voting.

1:17:52Speaker 3

So I will make a proposal.

1:17:54Speaker 1

I would like to talk to the lawyer, and it seems that there are two refusals. We would like to be given another exemption. That's it. I was going to do it.

1:18:02Speaker 3

Yes, okay, thank you.

1:18:04Speaker 4

I will make an exemption on the refusal to satisfy the deviation specified in the plan from July 28, 2026. I support.

1:18:18Speaker 3

Good. I did it.

1:18:18Speaker 1

The pass is rejected.

1:18:19Speaker 3

We have not voted yet. We have not voted yet. Vote. I vote for my pass on rejection. I. Good. I vote against the pass. Correct. So, it is accepted. The pass is not accepted.

1:18:28Speaker 1

Thus, the pass on rejection is accepted by two votes against one.

1:18:35Speaker 3

Correct. The pass on rejection is accepted by two votes against one.

1:18:49 – 1:19:23Speaker 1

All right. All right. Next item, 87. Merit Square Realty LLC, Merit Square Square HC LLC, and Merit Square Mason LLC. Four deviations from Article 62, Article 9 of the Brevard District Code for B.U.1. Appointment number 26V00058. It is located in the second district.

1:19:23Speaker 2

Thank you, Mr. Brody. Who is speaking here on your behalf? Name your name and address.

1:19:34 – 1:19:47Speaker 1

Of course. Darren Taylor, 119 South Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida. And I am also Manny Paeva, 1500 West Park Drive, Westboro, Massachusetts.

1:19:48Speaker 2

Okay. Raise your right hand. You swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth. Yes, yes, okay.

1:19:55 – 1:20:14Speaker 1

Thank you, members of the council. We have a short presentation. Here it is. I guess you will work on it, okay? As I said, we have a very short presentation. I don't know if you see it, do you need to see it behind you or in front of you?

1:20:17Speaker 2

But it will be there.

1:20:28Speaker 2

We can turn around. We are not afraid.

1:20:33 – 1:20:46Speaker 1

Let's go. As I said, I will be very short. But we are here for Seven Brew. Before you move on to the next slide, we have an antenna. Me or you?

1:20:52 – 1:21:03Speaker 1

Good. I need to use it. Yes. Good. On two others. Oh, this is a recorder. Sorry. No, he's there. Keyboard from below. Oh, good.

1:21:05 – 1:22:34Speaker 1

Looks like Big Brother is listening. All technical problems have been solved. EE, EE, what do we have here? This is the antenna of the Merritt Square Mall. EE, when we submitted a preliminary application with employees, we were told that EE, in fact, Merritt Square Mall is subject to the Code of Conduct, it is considered cumulative. So, everything that is related to the reconstruction of the shopping center will require permission to deviate from the norm. So, the restaurant Chick-fil-A, which you see in the building on the left, if possible, I will use the cursor. Chick-fil-A opened here about two years ago. He needed to get permission from you to deviate from the norm in order to move on. This is a reconstruction of the shopping center. In fact, you begin to see the development of the territory around the parking lot. And this is Kazooie Boulevard. And what you see is a building built along the street. And so, Chick-fil-A opened. And add our construction plan here. And here, you see, this is 7 Brew. I'm not sure if you are familiar with 7 Brew, but this is a coffee shop.

1:22:34Speaker 2

I don't see the cursor.

1:22:36Speaker 1

Okay, sorry. Eh, Dr. Bass. He.

1:22:40 – 1:28:52Speaker 1

Oh, no, no. No. It is displayed. It is on the left. Here it is. Good. Good. Yes, please correct me if you do not see something. So, 7 Brew is a small building, about 700 square feet. This is a car service point. That is, you drive in, someone accepts your order, you drive around the other side and take your order. There is no seat or anything like that inside. And so, the idea of ​​this project was to build something that would very well combine with Chick-fil-A. And here you have 7 Brew. You have a Chick-fil-A building here. So, the idea is that you see how these buildings are essentially built along the Kazooie Boulevard as part of this reconstruction. And here are a few facades of the Seven Brew building. This is a view from the east and west with a sign. That's why we're here today with the Sevenbrew logo on the side. And on the facade of the building, on the front side, you see the Sevenbrew logo. So, this is the image you're looking at from the east. On the boulevard of Kazooie there is a building of Chick-fil-A, which has already been approved. There is a separate standing sign. And then there is a new Seven Brew logo, which we offer. Something very similar in size and signs on. A building with a facade, separately standing with a sign and a sign on the side of the building. Another view, here a parking lot is shown. And now we present to you Seven Brew. You know, this is a project that we presented last month to the management of the reconstruction of the Mereid Island. They unanimously approved this project. This is part of their duties aimed at ensuring that the construction was done to the taste and was of high quality. Thus, they were approved both the construction plan and the requested deviations. Several images with our layout plan. As I already mentioned, there are three signs that we are talking about to get permission to deviate from the norm. This is a sign on the front and side that should be approved in accordance with the Code, as well as a separate standing sign along the road. Here is the logo on the front of the building. And the signs that are placed on the sides. Again, the front and side parts. And a separate standing sign. So, as mentioned in the employee report, four deviations are required. These two deviations from the norms related to the signage of the shopping center are directly related to the fact that any construction in a shopping center in the future should be in accordance with you. because in this regard, I would say, there has been an increase in the allowed number of signs in the shopping center. The first deviation that I mentioned concerning the violation of the borders is the deviation that you approved for Chick-fil-A, and it allows our signs to be almost the same as the Chick-fil-A sign. Thus, they will be very symmetrical if they move along the road. You will not see the displacement of the separate signs. And the last deviation is due to the fact that the facade of our building, according to your standards, has only the facade part. So, this is such a small building that this logo on the facade exceeds the permissible dimensions, but it is by no means excessive. And, of course, showing the image again, we can say that this logo on the facade is not too much for the building, not for this area, which was initially our goal to build something comparable and compatible with the reconstruction of the shopping center. And, as I mentioned last month, we presented to the reconstruction commission, and they unanimously approved the construction plan and deviations from the norms. Manny is with me, and we will be happy to answer any questions that may arise from this commission. I have no questions. Next to my house on Palm Bay Road, there are a couple of 7 Eleven stores. The signs are very similar to those that I saw in this building, this is a typical building, right? The signs are similar to everything I've seen around. Yes. You are right. Our team buildings are approved by the state and are installed directly on the site. Oh, you did that. I didn't pay attention. Okay. Yes, so the signs are similar. At first I got confused between these 150 square feet and 2600 square feet, but I only saw this small sign, but this is a total for the entire shopping center. Now I understand it. Right, sir. Another moment, a distance of 5 feet from 15 feet is about 50 feet difference between the edge of the road and the place where the sign will be installed. No, it should be 50 feet. You ask, should it be 45? To make it clear, this is the difference between this place and the back wall and this place in the back row of seats. So these 5 feet actually do not matter in terms of road safety. M. No. Well, the main question is that this is, in fact, a standard signage of a building that you use everywhere. Okay. I have no questions.

1:28:52 – 1:29:10Speaker 2

Is there anyone here who could speak for or against? I don't see anyone. Do you have any final comments or something like that? No, of course. I'll be happy to answer any of your questions. Okay. You have a letter.

1:29:11Speaker 3

And do I need to read the letter from the opponent? We need to note this.

1:29:18Speaker 1

I would just add for advice, I contacted this person and did not receive any answer. But I tried to contact this person when I noticed a comment.

1:29:27Speaker 3

This is Berri. Hello. That's right.

1:29:30Speaker 1

I sent him an email when I saw that it was sent. Okay. And they didn't come.

1:29:35Speaker 3

And they didn't comment.

1:29:37Speaker 1

I would also like to mention that he was calling through Mayer. Is that right?

1:29:45Speaker 3

We know. Yes. He was calling through Mayer.

1:29:53Speaker 2

You want me to do it, this is my district, and I don't think I can make a proposal, right? I will do it.

1:29:59 – 1:30:32Speaker 3

I propose to approve four deviations, as shown in the plans from June 19, 2026. I support. I support this proposal. Voting. For. Voting for the approval of the proposal or the requested rejection. All for. Say for. For. Your proposal is accepted. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Bodi, my favorite number H8.

1:30:38 – 1:30:50Speaker 1

The BUBAR Construction Company requests a deviation from Article 62, Article 6 of the BUBAR District Code for the construction of a swimming pool in the zone of the corresponding ES classification . It is located in District 2.

1:30:55Speaker 3

Excellent. Hello, sir. How are you? Good.

1:30:59Speaker 3

What is your name and what is your address? Please, for the protocol.

1:31:02Speaker 1

David Hickes, 1909, North Cocoa Boulevard, Cocoa, Florida, 32922. You swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth?

1:31:09Speaker 3

Yes. Good. What will you tell us?

1:31:10 – 1:32:12Speaker 1

So, we built a new house on South Tropical Trail, 3,115 South Tropical Trail. In the initial application, we specified the proposed place for the pool and discussed it with the Department of Natural Resources and NGCOPE. In some department it works, all the necessary requirements for the placement of the pool in this place. It was about 30% of the NOM is within the 25-foot repair or lagoon protection zone. Therefore, we received a project at home, which, in fact, was built, but then we found out that, according to zoning rules, we need to get permission to build a pool within 25 feet, even despite the fact that we meet 30% of the new requirement. So, the request concerns deviations from the norm so that we do not exceed 30%, but meet the requirements for retreating to 25 feet.

1:32:24Speaker 3

Good. I assume that the pool is not yet built, right? The pool is not yet built, no.

1:32:30Speaker 1

Good. Do you have any questions?

1:32:38Speaker 2

I've been living here for a very, very long time.

1:32:47 – 1:33:06Speaker 3

The southern Tropical Trail is great, and people move here, and this creates difficulties due to the shape of this small strip of land there, on the southern Tropical Trail, and the further to the south, the worse. Therefore, I sympathize with you in connection with what you are trying to do.

1:33:06Speaker 2

Okay. So, everything is fine.

1:33:21 – 1:35:39Speaker 1

I'm still a little confused. M, good. Usually, the distance from the border of the site next to the Indian River Lagoon is 25 feet. From the river. 25 feet is a standard, right? Right. The distance from the border of your site, which is located on the Indian River Lagoon. They do not measure it from the border of the site. They measure it from the edge, retreating from the coastal wall. This is a 25-foot protection zone from the edge of the river. Good. This is one of the natural resources management agencies, and they want 25 feet from the river line. Correct. But zoning, I'm wrong, that 25 feet is from the border of the site. Wait a second. Okay. Let me see the rules. Okay. One of the things is that this site has a double facade. There is a facade on the road and a facade on the river. You have a site with a double facade on the main reservoir. All buildings must meet the requirements for retreating from the shoreline. Thus, the requirement for retreating from the shoreline is 25 feet. That is, 25 feet from the river. And how many feet, Mr. Brody? He asks for a distance of 15 feet from the 25-foot distance from the shoreline. So, is it 40 feet in total?

1:35:39Speaker 2

No. Okay. No, he wants the plot to be 10 feet from the river level line.

1:35:43Speaker 1

Okay. Do you have a real shoreline wall or is it just a line?

1:35:47Speaker 4

The river level is the actual border of the plot.

1:35:58 – 1:36:09Speaker 1

Yes, wait, let me read you this definition that we have. I agreed. 25 feet is from the border of the site, right? Yes. This is exactly what they are applying for. Yes, the back is equal to the front.

1:36:22 – 1:36:41Speaker 3

Do you have a natural fortified wall or concrete? Natural fortified wall, for example, like? Cocaine. Good, good. This is good, because it continues to reduce the area of ​​the earth. On the southern tropical trail. To the edge of the pool.

1:36:52Speaker 1

Yes, it is asked 12.87 feet back. There are several decorative columns that are not part of the pool and they are a couple of feet away. I can't do it. I'm trying to find this section of definitions.

1:37:48Speaker 3

Do we have anything else? He will read us the definition.

1:37:57 – 1:40:37Speaker 1

So, under the frontage, the distance measured along the roadway line is understood, providing access to property or a distance measured along a large reservoir. If the site adjoins both the roadway line and the large reservoir, the definition provided in the section of the site means a double front. So, when we move to the point line of the double front, there It is said that they ... See, it doesn't work. Well, here it is. The plot means the land plot, shown on the registered plan, the land plot, described in the act, registered in the official district record book. The middle line of the flow of large natural reservoirs will be used to calculate the density of the construction and to establish recourses for coastal properties and zones that are in property. the usual tidal line will be used in zones that are not in property. Thus, it is from it that they count the descents, as from the usual tidal line, which is shown in the plan. Okay. Where they talk about the river line, the edge of the water, it is considered this line, this line of water. That's right, a little higher there is an observation, where it is written the usual average level of the tributary. The line of retreat fluctuates a little and follows this contour. 10 feet follow it, and 25 feet. Well, unlike the border of the site, it follows the water line. Thus, we remain at a distance of 10 feet from the water line, and not specifically from the border of the site. If a straight line is shown on the plan, then the edge of the water is shown on the plan, and then the line of retreat is 10 feet from the edge of the water. But he is right next to him, so he looks right at 10 feet, and he needs 25 feet to have a double facade, so he is looking for 15 feet deep into the 25-foot section. Good. Does this help? Yes, good. Do you have any more questions? No, everything is fine. You can just step back for a second to make sure that no one is against.

1:40:37Speaker 3

Is there anyone who is against or for?

1:40:40 – 1:40:59Speaker 3

Come back. This is my district. So, oh, I can submit a proposal. Does anyone want to submit a proposal?

1:40:59Speaker 1

Yes. I submit a proposal that we have approved the application, as indicated in the question from August 13, 2026. I support this.

1:41:15Speaker 2

I vote for the confirmation of deviation from the norm, as it was requested. All for. Tell me, I. Thank you.

1:41:22Speaker 3

Your deviation from the norm is approved.

1:41:25Speaker 1

Thank you for your time.

1:41:25Speaker 3

Thank you. Follow this land. Good. There.

1:41:31Speaker 4

There are no neighbors who could interfere.

1:41:35Speaker 3

We're done, right? We're done.

1:41:41Speaker 2

This concludes the meeting of the Council on the adjustment of the norm from September 16, 2026. Hooray!
