Chairman Kennedy opened the public hearing.
Kim Rockburn, 4691 Bayfield Harbor Lane, stated she provided the Conservation Easement and
additional pictures related to the request. Ms. Rockburn added that the pictures show how the
neighbors view of the community day dock is already obstructed. She stated everyone in the
community has a right to use the day dock, but not necessarily a right to see the day dock and her
neighbor has a view of the river even if she were to install a fence.
William and Pamela Thomas, 4693 Bayfield Harbor Lane, opposes the installation of a six-foot fence
as it will impede their view of the river. Mr. Thomas stated they knew the rules and regulations when
they moved there; with 50 foot lots any fence will break the water -view. He stated he does not feel
the rules and regulations should be changed for one person.
Ms. Rockburn stated the Conservation Easement supercedes the City of Edgewater regulations
regarding the water, and the only water access permitted are three (3) shared docks once they are
constructed. She further discussed the additional photos provided, including a column on the Thomas'
patio.
Ms. Thomas stated the column on their patio only blocks the side of Ms. Rockburn's house, not their
view of the water. Mr. Thomas stated the Conservation Area has been marked and they were told by
the County they can make a path to the water.
Brent Appy, 1310 2nd Street, stated he recently purchased 4697 Bayfield Harbor Lane; it is rare to
allow solid fences along the water and he is opposed to the variance request.
Ms. Rockburn further discussed the variance request and her property lines.
Darren Van Ryn, 4695 Bayfield Harbor Lane, spoke in opposition of the request.
Mr. Andrejkovics stated no attempt was made to amend the variance as requested by the Board and
asked Ms. Rockburn why that was. Ms. Rockburn stated she tried to amend it with more clarification
of paperwork, the Conservation Easement, and additional photos.
Mr. Andrejkovics stated the Board's responsibility is to preserve certain things in the City, water
areas are very sensitive and they have to take it very seriously.
Ms. Rockburn added that there is a cove, with the river being at least a football field away from the
houses.
There being no further discussion Chairman Kennedy closed the public hearing.
