RESORT TAX FUNDS - BEACH PROJECTS
Jim Seuffert, Office of Financial Management Director, submitted
requests by Longboat Key ($150,000 for renourishment), Anna Maria
($12,200 for walkovers) and Bradenton Beach ($16,000 for Gulf Drive
beautification) for FY 1991 Tourist Development (TD) funds. These
requests were deferred until resort tax revenues were received and an
estimated cost for beach renourishment could be determined.
He reported tax revenues for the past six months exceeded budget
allocations and an additional $67,000 will be placed in the Beach
Renourishment Fund. He noted the TD tax Ordinance requires funds be
used solely to provide matching funds and, therefore, may need amending.
Discussion: Reviewing Ordinance before approving funding requests.
Katie Pierola, Mayor of Bradenton Beach, opposed any changes to the
Ordinance and requested the $16,000 requested by Bradenton Beach be
donated to beach renourishment. She suggested that Longboat Key and
Anna Maria do the same, as the area at Gulf Drive and Cortez Road is in
great need of repair since the storm in March, 1991.
Ray Simches, Mayor of Anna Maria, stated that Anna Maria applied for
funding and submitted plans/cost estimate for the walkovers on June 15,
1990. He requested approval.
Chuck Loiselle, representative from Longboat Key, stated the request is
reimbursement for beach renourishment engineering costs and that
Longboat Key will contribute approximately $6 million to the project.
Ms. Snell moved approval of the requests for Tourist Development funds
for beach projects by Longboat Key, $150,000, and Anna Maria, $12,200.

property; all indebtedness, obligations, licenses, contracts and
liabilities from the Civic Center Authority to the County within 120

STANDARD BUILDING CODE
Claude Cooper, Development Management Director, stated that Donald L.
Price, resident, requested the Standard Building Code, Section 1104.4
"Emergency Egress Openings" be amended in entirety to read:
"When sleeping rooms open onto a porch (veranda or lanai), the
conditions in 1104.4.1, 1104.4.2 and 1104.4.3 for egress that apply
to the sleeping rooms also shall apply for windows and doors on
that adjoining porch to allow for unencumbered egress or rescue."
Mr. Cooper stated Mr. Price was denied a permit to enclose his screen
porch with sliding glass doors, as the only exit from his bedroom is
through a sliding glass door to this porch. Such replacement would make
an interior door opening to the interior of the building, thereby
creating an additional barrier for anyone leaving the bedroom in the
event of fire. The Code in Section 1104.4.1 clearly outlines this
matter.
He recommended Mr. Price's suggestion not be accepted.
Disposition: No action.
BUILDING PERMITS
Mr. Cooper was questioned as to whether a new survey is required when
applying for a permit to cover an existing home with siding and facia.

Responsibility was transferred by the State in 1990, pursuant to House

Discussion: Whether boards have legal authority to exist/enforce
violations/fine; contractors requested a standardized program;
protecting public; outlining powers/duties of certain boards; permit
fee/fine structure; appeal process; work session.
Paul Bangel, Assistant County Attorney, addressed the five-times fine
for not obtaining a permit; lack of guidelines to contest the fine.
He noted the municipalities could share one board, however, each city
would do its own investigations and inspections.
Motion carried 6 to 0.
DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT FEE SCHEDULE
Mr. Bangel suggested the Board may wish to consider suspending use of
the Development Management Fee Schedule until it is reviewed.
The Chairman recommended the matter be brought back next week (5/7/91).
