5:30 P.M. - PUBLIC WORKSHOP – SINGLE-FAMILY DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
After lengthy discussion, the Board directed staff to bring the ordinance for public hearing at the
March meeting, making the following changes, with the idea that if necessary during the public
hearing process, the proposal could be changed, liberalized or amended:
1. Sliding scale to have a flat line at 25%.
2. Height to remain the same at 33 feet, but only two stories instead of three. Measure height
from flood elevation to a higher number than 12 feet for the one-story structure. (?)
3. Look at large lots, perhaps >30,000 sq.ft., depending on the width of the lot, whether the
25% lot coverage can be eliminated altogether and replace with setback requirements.
4. Administrative review by staff – appeals perhaps to the DRB similar to the architecturally
significant s/f process.
5. Bring back the same proposal of restricting 2nd floor but only on smaller lots. Make the
requirement for all lots, which after the public hearing could be liberalized. Also look at the length of
continuous wall.
