Zoning Variance Application

Pool Equipment Within Side Yard Setback

477 Ocean Boulevard

Lots 17 / Block B / Section B MMPA Project No.04-0101-0521

image

ISSUE

The applicant and record property owner, Jean-Marc Girardin, has filed a variance application with the Town to pem,it the placement of pool equipment within the south side setback area of an existing single-family residence located at 477 Ocean Boulevard (oceanfront). In November 2019, the Towns BRAB approved a new pool / pool deck for the site in the rear (oceanfront) yard area. Those plans showed that the new pool equipment would be placed within the existing garage. This addressed the Towns minimum requirements for location and required screening. Now a request is being made to install the pool equipment outdoors within the south setback area. The site is considered an Undersized Lot (SO-foot width), and the house is placed 10′ from each side lot line. The Town Code currently requires all mechanical equipment to be placed at least ten {10) feet

away from any side or rear property line. The home is older and it is noted there are existing NC

units located in the south side yard already (pre-existing that can remain I be replaced). This request is to install the new pool equipment in the south side yard near the A/C units. The survey shows there is an existing 6′ tall solid PVC fence along the south property line that helps screen the existing mechanical equipment

Followingis the applicants current request:

  • Variance from Section 66-140(1)(a): To allow pool equipment to be placed within the minimum 10 feet side yard setback.

Town of Golden Beach Town Staff Report

477 Ocean Boulevard Variance Request February 4th, 2020

ANALYSIS

MMPA was requested to review I comment on this submittal. As per the Town’s request. MMPA has completed our review of he above referenced variance application and provide the following comments for consideration:

Variance from Sec. 66-140(1)(a) to allow pool equipment to be placed within the minimum 10 feet side yard setback required ror mechanical equipment

The applicant is requesting a variance to allow the placement of new pool equipment on the south side of the residence in the side yard setback area next to existing AJC units. The BRAB approved a new pool and pool deck in the rear yard (oceanfront) on November 12111, 2019 . Again, the approved BRAB plans showed the pool equipment would be installed within the existing garage. Section 66-140(1)(a) of the Town’s Zoning Code requires that in all zones all mechanical equipment must be installed a minimum of ten (10) feet from any side or rear property line. Per Town Zoning Code Sec. 66-140(2)(a): For existing homes, mechanical equipment shall be appropriately and aesthetically screened and landscaped to minimize poor aesthetic appearance and maximize noise abatement to limit transmission of sound. Again, the survey shows there is an existing 6′ tall solid PVC fence along the south property line that helps screen the existing mechanical equipment (A/C units).

NON-USE VARIANCE JUSTIFICATION

  1. The variance requested is for relief from the provisions of the Town Code.

    The applicant states: Sec. 66-140 a. Setback for pool equipment all zones minimum of ten feet from any side or rear property line.

    MMPA Comment The correct Code Section is: 66-140(1)(a) All Zones- Minimum of ten feet from any side or rear property line.

  2. In order to recommend the granting of the variance, it must meet all the following criteria:

    1. The Variance is in fact a Variance from a zoning regulation as set forth with the Zoning Chapter of the Town Code.

      The applicant states: My request for variance is to install my pool equipment within the 10-foot set back as I cannot install them in my garage .

    2. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land or structure involved, and which are not applicable to other lands or structures in the same district.

      image

      The applicant states: My lot is 50 feet wide by 45 foot to the seawall. I dont have lot of space to have a decent pool and deck area so installing my pool equipment will considerably reduce my pool and deck area. Discussing with both my neighbors, they are very concerned about the noise of the equipment being out on the pool deck.

      image

      Town of Golden Beach Town Staff Report

      477 Ocean Boulevard -Variance Request February 4th, 2020

      MMPA Comment – While it is acknowledged the lot is “Undersized” (narrow @ 50 feet) there appears to be adequate areas to place the pool equipment in the rear (oceanfront) yard and meet the minimum setback requirement. The Code was written to protect adjacent properties from the appearance and noise from mechanical equipment, including pool equipment. As the lot is oceanfront any noise generated by the pool equipment would not be discernable in our opinion due to the ocean wave noises. In any instan ced mechanical equipment must be fully screened, so visually neither the owner nor neighbors would see the equipment unless it was placed near the oceanfront (not near house). Again, it is noted there is an existing 6′ tall solid PVC fence along the south property line that effectively screens the side yard area (existing A/C units).

    3. The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applican.t

      image

      The applicant states: I have presently existing 3 x 5 tons air-conditioning already within the 10-foot set back located in the south of my property between my house and my neighbor which are not causing an issue regarding the noise.

      image

      MMPA Comment -As stated above the existing AIC unit location is “grandfathered”, as they existed prior to the TOlrVn adopting the 10′ setback requirement. It is noted the BRAB approved plans showed the new pool equipment inside the existing garage. The Town Code has no provisions to add new mechanical equipment in the minimum setbacks. Again , it is noted there is an existing 6′ tall solid PVC fence along the south property line that effectively screens the side yard area (existing A/C units). In our opinion there are no special conditions or circumstances that raquire the pool equipment to be placed in the side setback. The decision to place the pool equipment in the side setback results from the actions of the applicant.

    4. Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by the Zoning Chapter of the Town Code to other lands or structures in the same district.

      The applicant states: The equipment will be installed next to the air-conditioning units. For both neighbors this is what they prefer.

      MMPA Comment – MMPA believe granting of this variance could confer to the applicant a special privilege to permit the placement of pool equipment within side yard setb ck. The approved BRAB plans showed the pool equipment being placed inside the existing garage. Placing the pool equipment within the side yard setback could deny other properties with similar circumstances which meet this requirement. If the current adjacent neighbors no longer own the adjacent property this could be a problem with the new homeowners. The ownership of the PVC fence is unknown. If the fence were removed there would be screening for noise I visually.

      image

  3. Literal interpretations of the provisions of the Zoning Chapter of the Town Code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of zoning regulations and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.

    Town of Golden Beach Town Staff Report

    477 Ocean Boulevard Variance Request February 4°1, 2020

    The applicant states: Like I said, installing the pool equipment next to my 3 air conditioning units make a lot of sense and both my neighbors are in agreement. I included in this package a signed letter to support this variance.

    MMPA Comment – The Towns regulation to not place mechanical equipment within the side 10-foot setback is a common requirement for Zones 1, 2 & 3 within the Town. The approved plans show the pool equipment inside their garage. There is room in the rear setback to install the equipment. Therefore, placing the pool equipment in a proper area does not deprive the applicant any rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the entire Town, if fact, it may bestow a special privilege.

  4. The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land or structure.

    The applicant states: As I described it makes lot of sense because of the existing air conditioning units.

    MMPA Comment- Under the current Code requirements no mechanical equipment is allowed in any required side or rear yard (10). Any older existing mechanical equipment is· grandfatheredand can remain or be replaced. This does not mean new mechanical equipment can be added just because older non-conforming equipment is there. Communities change their Codes all the time to address problems and improve conditions.

  5. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of the Town Code and the variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfara.

The applicant states: Yes, the granting of this variance will be in full harmony and with full support from both neighbors.

MMPA Comment The Town enacted the regulation to require more separation of unsightly / noisy mechanical equipment mostly in light side yard areas where bedrooms typical exist. Stronger screening requirements now exist (fences / walls) as most mechanical equipment is larger and must be raised for flood-proofing. Granting the variance could be viewed as not being in harmony or general intent and purpose of the Town Code. Again, it is noted there is an existing 6tall solid PVC fence along the south property line that effectively screens the side yard area (existing AJC units) .

SUMMARY

image

MMPA was requested to review and comment on the requested variance. MMPA has attempted to analyze the request and provide applicable planning / zoning comments. The approved BRAB plans showed the pool equipment in an acceptable location (garage) per the zoning regulations; however, the Florida Building Code prohibits pool equipment within a garage. The request is self-created. It appears the applicant does not want to place the pool equipment in the rear yard because it impacts their use of the property and view to the ocean. It could be viewed as unfair to the adjacent property owners to place the pool equipment in the

side setback. It is noted the adjoining owner provided a letter of support. It is noted there is an existing 6tall solid PVC fence along the south property line that screens the south yard area.

  6. MAYOR’S REPORT

    Stated that on July 1st guests will be allowed to go to the Town’s beaches. He, the Town Manager, and Finance Department have gone through the next three years budgets and feel very comfortable that we can financially handle the Civic Center project with no issues. Made tremendous progress thus far and we have only just begun.

  7. CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

    Numbers of COVID cases have stayed at 15. No more cases have been reported to the Town. Mayor Gimenez indicated that he is going to keep the county through the same level of opening through the summer. Even though the number of cases go up, the hospital cases remain going down. Will open our beaches to visitors on July 1st, they must be accompanied by a resident with a Town issued ID. Residents will need to show ID’s through the end of August. Will provide amenities on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. We will be disinfecting amenities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday’s. Police have gone back to normal staffing. We do have the town-wide safer at home order still in effect. The safer at home order will remain in place through August 31st in Miami-Dade County.

  8. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Mendal

    Asked if the Town Manager could provide an update on the participation rates with the

    Census and give some more information on when the deadline actually is. Seen a lot of mosquitoes lately. Seems like we are inundated here, wanted to know if we could up the spraying. Also seeing a lot of iguanas, wanted to know if we can do anything about that. Seen that many municipalities are sending resolutions or letters to Mayor Gimenez to start distributing the cares act funds. It may be prudent that we send a letter in.

    Town Manager stated that the Town has already done that.

    Councilmember Bernstein

    Biggest issue is also the mosquitoes. They’ve gotten so out of control. Personally started to have leaks in his house and the roofer told him that it is iguanas causing the leaks. Just wanted to raise that awareness.

    Vice Mayor Einstein

    Was on the beach on Saturday and Sunday. They are being ran very efficiently, beach attendants were checking for IDs, people were very spread out, maintained social distance and the attendants could not have been more of service to him. Construction sites – it seems like there is tremendous activity going on at the construction sites. Did see that they are taking temperature, and that they were wearing their masks. Mosquitos are coming out in droves. It is the worse he has ever seen. In addition, termites are swarming by the droves. People keeping on their outside lights, it attracts them. Thinks people need to be mindful of that to avoid the swarming of those. Town looks great. Keeps looking clean.

    Councilwoman Lusskin

    Congratulated the Town Manager on his award. Stated some of the problems with the mosquitoes is that with COVID-19 all the abandoned homes have not been kept up with. Hoping as things ease up with COVID-19, we can take a better look there and lean

    on the homeowners. Wants everyone on the police force to know that wearing the badge is something to be proud of, and we appreciate you, everyone at Golden Beach thanks you.

  9. TOWN MANAGER REPORT

    First thanked the staff for nominating him for the award and thanked the staff and Council for all they have done to help him get the award. As it relates to mosquitos, we have a weekly mosquito spraying program in place. If you feel that you have a higher concentration of mosquitos on your property they’ll come out to your home and spray your property. There is a $150.00 fee for that. On the agenda is the Center Island Pump Station agreement. The interest rate is less than 1%; it is a 20-year loan. You have already authorized it, he just wanted you to see the terms. The Center Island Pump Station Project is fully funded, and fully designed. Town Attorney is putting the RFP package together to go out to bid. We have intentionally held back on the bidding process, because in the state’s budget there is a $500,000 allocation that our lobbyist and he were able to get for Golden Beach. If we issue the RFP before the budget is signed, we lose that $500,000. Trying not to leave free money on the table. If the Governor vetoes that $500,000, we will just have to borrow the money that we have already pledged, without increasing the Stormwater fee or taxes. Stated that you may have noticed over the past couple of weeks we have been doing a lot of maintenance in Town, replacing curbs and gutters. He could not be prouder of the men and women that wear the police uniforms in Golden Beach. Know that our police officers are professionals that practice responsible policing. Our staff go to annual training on an array of issues. Asks our residents that when you see or notice on social media anything, do not overreact.

A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF GOLDEN BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A DESIGN BUILD AGREEMENT WITH GERRITS CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR THE TOWN CIVIC CENTER COMPLEX; PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Exhibit: Agenda Report No. 5

Resolution No. 2681.20

Sponsor: Town Administration

Recommendation: Motion to Approve Resolution No. 2681.20

A motion to approve was made by Councilmember Lusskin, seconded by Councilmember Mendal.

On roll call, the following vote ensued:

Mayor Glenn Singer Aye

Vice Mayor Bernard Einstein Aye

Councilmember Judy Lusskin Aye

Councilmember Jaime Mendal Aye Councilmember Kenneth Bernstein Aye

The motion passed.

Town Manager spoke on the item. Stated that when we began this process there were two routes we could’ve taken. The traditional design than issue a construction contract, or we could issue a design build process which guarantees us a maximum price for what is delivered as part of our request for proposals. This past year we worked with our community for what is required for our civic center complex master plan. We had open dialogues with the community, had meetings with them, put up surveys and had internet discussions. Took a project that was originally a Taj Mahal and shaped it into a project that we felt was up to scale with our community. We went out to bid; we had a number of respondents. You created a committee of residents that you tasked with interviewing and ranking the firms for you. Than the Council met with the top ranked firms and you authorized him and the Attorney to negotiate a guaranteed price contract based on a series of deliverables that we’re asking you to adopt tonight. In your agenda tonight you have what the building will look like, what the floor plan will be. What amenities we will be getting on our site. Our site will have one additional tennis court for a total of three tennis courts; it has our pickle ball court, our dog park, new lawn area for our residents to enjoy, and we can project movies onto our building. It calls for approximately 108 parking spaces. Site plan shows an elevated building with parking underneath. The first floor will be your Administration. On the third floor will be our building department and the council chambers, which will double as an event space. This proposal does not include anything for the current Town Hall building. They came in with a proposal of

$5.3-million. We then asked for additional amenities and changes. Therefore, we negotiated up front $250,000 worth of improvements to their design, to settle on $5.5- million guaranteed maximum price for this facility. What’s not included is the screening for the area underneath the building. Councilmember Bernstein has been asked to put

together a committee to look at what we can do with the area underneath the building and he has volunteered to do so. We have assurance in our contract that whatever we decide to do under the building, the footing and all of the headers are there for us. The pickle ball court is also not included. Those are the only two items not included. One of the beauties of this contract is typically your contractor will give you a one-year warranty on their craftsmanship. The Town Attorney and he were able to negotiation a two-year warranty on their work. All of their equipment has come with their standard warranties. There is a performance bond required for this project. If for some reason Gerrits Construction goes away there is a bond guaranteeing that the project will be delivered for the set the price. The bulk of this project is being paid for with non-tax dollars. We have pledged $88,000 from this year’s budget and a pledge of $2.5-million from the law enforcement trust fund. We have a $2-million line of credit that we have pledged towards this project. The rate to pay back of this $2-million credit line is absorbed in our current budget. In our budget today, there is a line item that pays for that note, without asking our residents for another penny. In addition to that, in Fiscal Year 2021 the Finance Director and he have pledged $500,000 to this project as well as another

$500,000 pledge in the 2022 fiscal year budget. He gives you his word that we will be working over the course of the next two years, if he is still your City Manager, to convert this building into your gym. This is a very responsible approach to delivering this project in Golden Beach.

Contractors on the Project, David Gerrits and Dominick Raineiri stated that they are ready to get started on the project. Feel very confident with the budgeted amount for the project.

Attorney Helfman spoke on the item. Stated that if anyone looks at the contract there are one or two exhibits that are called for to be added. We know that that is the way the contract is contemplated. We do not want anyone to think we over looked anything.

Regarding performance and payment which was an issue that came up by one of our residents there is a full performance and payment bond that guarantees the completion of this project. We always have a provision within any of our contracts, where we can terminate them at our convenience. We simply would just have to pay for the work done up to that point. It is very clear in the contract that you get the full scope of the services for a fixed price. Once we go ahead and execute this, we will make sure all the exhibits are correct and in place and all the references to different sections are correct.

Councilmember Bernstein stated that he knows that some of the Councilmembers don’t support spending money for screening Town Hall on A1A. He would like to stress why he believes making sure we have adequate support for the front facade is so important. The Town Hall is going to be one of Golden Beach’s biggest expenditures over the next few years. No matter how well it is designed inside and outside most of the residents are going to render their opinion on the building based on its curb appeal. Our Town revenues are based on home values and he believes we need a Town Hall that will help improve the values and not detract from them. The building is beautiful, this is not to take away from anything, this is to make sure the Council is supporting it. Stated this only to make sure we are all on the same page to support trying to improve the front of the building because it is going to be our Town Hall for the next twenty or thirty years.

Town Manager stated that they have his commitment that they will work on that issue.

Councilwoman Lusskin asked if they were considering making the decision on the screening tonight?

Mayor Singer stated no.

Councilwoman Lusskin stated that she noticed that in the contract it states a one-year warrantee for the subcontractors. Will the extended two-year warrantee the Manager spoke about apply to that as well?

David Gerrits that is the materials from mechanicals, electrical and plumbing manufacturers such as the air conditioning will not give more than a one-year warrantee for their equipment. What they worked out with the Manager and Town Attorney is a two-year warrantee for workmanship, for example if the cocking on the windows is not done right or the doors are not closing properly, things like that.

Town Attorney stated that he believes as part of the final cleanup of the contract that will be addressed. We have a full and absolute warrantee for two years from Gerrits for all of the work that they are doing and putting into this building. There are components of the building, like machinery that they are simply installing that they are not guaranteeing.

Vice Mayor Einstein in terms of the contract, do we have a completion date, and is there a penalty if it is not completed within that period.

Town Manager stated yes the time frame is twenty-four months from the date of execution and yes, there is a penalty.

Vice Mayor Einstein asked who is the certifier as to the draws.

Town Manager stated we are. We are bringing on a team to help qualify each of the draws.

Vice Mayor Einstein in terms of the ultimate contract does it have retainage and can you explain the retainage.

Town Manager stated the retainage is the percentage of the value of the work that has been completed that we hold till the end to ensure that all of the liens that have been placed on the project and the project has been delivered as specified and within the time period specified. Once all of the expectations of the project are met, the retainage is released.

Vice Mayor Einstein in terms of the funding of the contract. Do we, as the Council, have to have any concerns as to the timing of when we will get anything from the government

Town Manger stated that we have an open line of credit with City National Bank for $4- million dollars without any prepayment penalties. We have pledged $2.5-million of $3.5- million that we have in executed DAGS. The good thing about our loan is that it does not require that we pay down the $2-million at any time, it is an open line for $4-milion that we can have all $4-million open for twenty years or we can pay down $2-million. If for some reason it takes longer for those DAGS to get here, there is enough budget built

in to your current budget that will allow us to pay the principle and interest for a longer period of time should we choose to do so.

Vice Mayor Einstein asked if all the tennis courts are being relocated

Town Manager stated that during construction we will provide for the pickle ball court, two tennis courts, and tot lot to continue to be used. Tweddle Park is off grounds, no basketball courts, no dog park, and no garbage truck parking. Once the building is ready all those facilities get shifted and relocated to other parts of the project.

Councilmember Mendal asked if the Town Manager can explain what the $250,000 worth of additions are and when will we break ground.

Town Manager stated that the civil work will begin in November and construction on all of the site preparation. When this project was delivered the second floor and third floor between the two spaces it was not enclosed or under air conditioning. The bulk of that money went to enclose those areas and put them under air conditioning. Council also wanted an additional elevator. There will be two elevators one stretcher, one non- stretcher elevator.

Councilmember Mendal thanked all of the staff for their hard work on the contract.

Town Manager stated that over the course of the next few months they will be working with the design team to commence construction. At this point the involvement of the public is very limited and the involvement of the Town Council is very limited. At this point the Administration is taking control of all of the design elements approving the plans at 30%, 60%, and 80%. Councilmember Bernstein will be working with the Council as it relates to the area under the building, that will go back to the Council for its review and consent. Thanked all of the staff for their hard work.

Councilmember Bernstein commend the staff and Police Department for trying to inform the residents as much as possible. There has been a lot of concern over different types of activities and street blockages. A lot of people express concerns saying they are hearing different things from different areas. The Town Manager established that going forward we will inform our residents if something is done in one of our neighboring communities.
