Patrick Inglot was present to represent case.
Mr. Inglot stated he just purchased the property December 15, 2006 and he has
secured funding to start renovations. He said some cleanup has taken place to
determine the extent of repairs. Mr. Inglot stated his plans are to completely rehab the
property and put it on the market to sell. Mr. Kincaid said there is serious concern
about the dune encroaching into the back of the house, sand pushing through the
foundation, pictures were given to board to review and Mr. Kincaid stated that any
piers will need DEQ approval because of being located in the critical dune area. Ed
Simmons asked how did case come to the attention of board and Randy Mackie
stated it was from a rental housing inspection that triggered the process. Mr. Inglot
stated he thinks a lot of the dune issue is a result of the sloping of the roof. Mr. Inglot
said he has already removed about two feet of sand from around the sliders. Henry
Faltinowski stated if Mr. Inglot goes thru the proper procedure in addressing issues
with the critical dune and engineering, then the Inspection Department would not have
any problem with it. Mark Kincaid stated staff would be willing to wait until May 2007 to
give Mr. Inglot time to address engineering and DEQ issues and to report back to
Inspections the findings.
Staff Recommendation:Table case until May 2007.
Motion made by Nick Kroes and seconded by Chris Carter to accept staff
recommendation.
