Time to finally modify Margate City ordinance. For past 3 years, Margate consistently approved variance applications for 3rd floor decks which are currently not permitted.
3rd floor decks: Not in back yards, only in front. Certain design criteria must be met. Must face street. No side or rear yard decks. Must be substantially smaller than 2nd floor deck below. Can’t protrude past the roof line.

OBSERVATION: Higher mortgage rates likely slowed portion of shore home sales. Why would I trade my 3% interest rate for a 7% rate? As an alternative, some invest in home upgrades, additions, tear down & new construction.
