Commissioner Lyons suggested that we tie it to that particu- lar zoning category, and Commissioner Bird asked Attorney Vitunac if there was any legal reason not to make it applicable to this one particular zoning. Attorney Vitunac felt it is important to do that, but also felt there should be some reason in the record why only that zone has this procedure available. Director Keating advised that basically this is the only General'Commercial zone east of A -1-A on the barrier island, and the reasons for the extra height are the characteristics a commercial establishment needs to be successful. Chairman Scurlock brought up the example of the hospital which had its height limitation changed years ago through a variance, which he felt probably was illegal. He could see some need for'some very well defined situations where some of this may make some sense, but agreed we need to justify it. Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that Mr. Nutt has an approved site plan which would allow him to build right up to the coastal construction control line (CCCL). We know the CCCL is going to be moved further back in March, and the state permit will have a lot to do with the location of the building on the land. What we apparently are talking about here is that if you move back 10' from the CCCL, you get 10' more height. Ten feet is not very much, and he thought the main reason why we were doing this is that they wanted to move the building back so far that the bottom floor would not be able to have a view of the ocean. Commissioner Wodtke stated that to him it is more the consideration of the overall picture as to the character of the dune structure, the erosion rate, the vegetation, etc., and what we are trying to save on a case by case basis. He wished to know if they are moving the building back 10017 - — Director Keating advised that they are moving it back 101, and Commissioner Wodtke asked what the actual difference in the elevation would be. 23 BOOK d fr�uF 9�®5
