Casey Key Road The petition A memo Lin provided to the board in advance of the Feb. 7 public hearing explained that the Jecmiks had proposed converting 82 square feet of non-habitable area to habitable area by adding to the existing foundation of the pool deck and then replacing the pool of irregular shape with a rectangular one of similar size — 277 square feet. The new pool would be a maximum of 43.6 feet seaward of the GBSL and 113.1 feet landward of the Mean High Water Line.

Additionally, a new 1,185-squarefoot pool deck would replace the existing 1,194-square-foot deck, and a new patio of 417 square feet would be added to replace an existing paver and planter area of 104 square feet. No members of the public had shown up to make comments, Chair Paul Caragiulo told his colleagues. Lin also noted that he had received no correspondence on the petition since county staff published the agenda packet the previous week. No letters or emails
were included in that material, either.
6100 Midnight Pass Road As part of its unanimous approval of its Feb. 7 Consent Agenda, the County Commission adopted a resolution regarding the 6100 Midnight Pass Road construction on which it held a public hearing in December 2016. The property owner originally applied for a variance that would have allowed him to demolish
two existing houses and replace them with an eight-unit structure that would have been 32.7 feet seaward of the GBSL. However, Commissioner Maio suggested the new dwelling units be moved completely landward of the GBSL, but the pool and deck could be seaward of that line. Attorney William Merrill III of the Icard Merrill firm in Sarasota conferred with his client before agreeing to the suggestion. A staff memo prepared for the board’s Feb. 7 meeting said the revised plans the petitioner
submitted on Jan. 9 showed the proposed swimming pool would be 17.1 feet farther landward than previously planned; that would put it 38.3 feet seaward of the GBSL. The deck, the memo noted, would be about 193 square feet larger than the originally proposed deck of 2,638 square feet, but it would be a maximum of 72.7 feet seaward of the GBSL. That will be no further seaward than the original design of the deck, the memo noted.
