OLD BUSINESS: None
NEW BUSINESS:
A. TOM COLLINS, in regards to property located at 1606 Indian River
Drive, Captain Hiram's Sandbar, is requesting permission to attach
a retractable awning to five protected trees, whereas the code
prohibits such attachment to protected trees.
The Growth Management Director explained that cleat attachments to the palm trees
will harm the health but not kill the trees and an alternative would be to attach supports
in the ground. He also stated the Planning and Zoning Commission did grant approval
of the canopy but this variance must be granted.
Mr. Collins stated the royal palms and awning have always been part of the design to
allow air circulation between structures. The retractable awning is needed to protect
customers from occasional rain showers. He also stated that the cables could be
attached to the palm trees without the cleats by wrapping around the trunk with clear
protective hosing/coating over the cable.
Discussion followed regarding compliance with the riverfront overlay and size of cable
and roller furling.
MOTION by Hill/Coniglio
"I move to approve the varience with the cleats not put on the trees."
