Planning and Zoning Board Meeting 2
MINUTES Mav 20,2009
Kristin Dion, City Planner addressed the board describing the proposed variance request to
allow the boat lift. She indicated that staff is leaving recommendation of this item to the
boards discretion.
Luis Ameijeiras addressed the board describing the reason and criteria for his request to
install a boatlift with an elevator, making the parking of the boat more secure and less of an
impact on the neighbors.
Acting Chairperson Angeline Flowers opened the item for public comment, hearing no one
and seeing no one further,the public hearing was closed.
Board member Timothy Pribisco questioned the reason for the elevator as opposed to using
the davit's as the other neighbors. Mr. Ameijeiras indicated that with the logistics and shape
of his property being on an angle an elevator lift would give better restraint for boat storage.
Discussion regarding the code relating to boat lifts intruding into a waterway and research
relating to submerged structures located in a waterway. Further discussion relating to how
the structure would be submerged and ways to warn other boaters navigating in this canal.
Mr. Ameijeiras further indicated that where his property is located the canal curves giving
additional maneuvering space to other boaters.
City Attorney Ansbro suggested to the board that if they choose to recommend approval, a
condition be placed with the motion to locate a pole or other floating device with a reflector
to warn other boaters about the submerged structure.
Motion was made by Timothy Pribisco to recommend approval of the variance VA-17-09
with the condition that a post or floating device with a reflector be installed to warn other
boaters of the submerged structure, seconded by Derrick Hankerson. Motion passed on the
following roll call:
Angeline Flowers — yes Derrick Hankerson — yes
Timothy Pribisco — yes
