c.
Certificate of Appropriateness 16-43 - St. Andrews Episcopal Church - 210 South Indian River Drive
Ms. Lewicka gave an overview of the application and answered questions from the Board.
Richard Stabile, a member of the vestry for St. Andrews Episcopal Church, provided additional information on the sanctuary roof and answered questions from the Board. The Board expressed concerns with consistency and matching roof replacement on the administrative buildings.
Mr. Hayek asked Ms. Mosley if the Board can add an enforceable condition that states that, when the other roofs on the site come up for replacement, the roofs must conform to the roof they are approving on the sanctuary.
Ms. Mosley explained the Board cannot impose the condition because members of the corporation would have to agree to any changes being made and they are not represented. The COA can be tabled until the corporate bodies can come up with an agreement.
Mr. Stabile stated the church controls the administrative buildings.
Ms. Mosley wanted to know the legal relationship between the parties to the property and if there are any restrictions that are in current agreement in terms of changes to the nature of the property and who has decision making power input.
Mr. Stabile stated if the COA is tabled, he can come back with some more concrete information.
The chairman asked Ms. Mosley, if a motion was passed with stipulations, can the Board instruct staff to move forward with the approval or denial so the applicant does not have to wait until the next meeting. Ms. Mosley stated staff would not be able to make that decision because of the nature of the change but the Board could empower staff to do so.
Mr. Small asked Ms. Mosley if in the future the new administration of the church could refute the stipulation. Ms. Mosley stated If the stipulation was approved and the church changed there mind, they will have to come back for a subsequent approval or another COA.
