At the June 27th meeting of the Council, Mr. DeSantis and the neighbor to the immediate west acmss the street from the facility, appeared before the Council. Refer to Exhibit B, the location of the neighboring property owner’s property is shown as Parcel A. Mr. DeSantis advised that he wanted to maintain a friendly, cooperative relationship with the adjacent neighbors and advised Council that the property owner was concerned because his view ot tlie lake would be completely blocked by the new marina facility and the storage tacility. If structure was moved further south, the new location would provide him a view' of the lake. The ordinances of the City do not afford a propeny owner on the opposite side of the street a lake view, only adjacent residential landowners. To staffs knowledge there is no view easement in favor of the landowner over the marir.a property. Council immediately advised Mr. DeSantis that he would have to apply for the necessary variances for the City to reconsider the proposal.
