Subject: RE: Development Agreement - O'Boyle & Gulf Stream
I spoke with Bill Ring and went over the survey. I do not believe it is Marty's
intent to construct a structure from side lot line to side lot line (assuming a re-
build). I believe we have a solution regarding how we will clarify the cross
hatching so that this is not possible. Bill Ring will get back to me later today or
tomorrow to confirm our discussion of how to handle the issue.

Tom,
Thank you for providing me the package relating to the Development Agreement. Please note

Page 2 of 4
specifically paragraphs 35 and 36. As I recall, paragraph 35 was intended to allow O'Boyle to build
whatever he might have been able to build on the property under the zoning code in 1981 when the
home was initially constructed. Notwithstanding the provisions of that code, it was agreed that a home
would not be more than two stories. Paragraph 36 simply provided that the Development Agreement
will include a survey provided by O'Boyle which shall provide a building envelope, but I believe that
building envelope is subject to whatever the setbacks were required to be in 1981. Hopefully this can
be worked out between you and Ring. If he is not returning your call, 1 suggest you get an email to him
advising of the Town's concerns.
Thank you.

all changes in your document, then made revisions per our conversation this afternoon. I
also made an additional change to 9 (e).
2. Exhibit A —1 Application. This is the pdf version of the Application that I submitted

3. Exhibit A — 2 Plans. This is the pdf version of the plans that were submitted with the
Application.
4. Exhibit B — The Settlement Agreement. Please note the Plans were not an exhibit to

5. Exhibit C — Building Envelope per the Settlement Agreement.
Tom, I think we are there. Please review and let me know if you have any comments.
Also, I think you should place your advertisements now. I see no reason to delay them any
longer as we should be done with the DA very soon.
I will let you know if Mr. O'Boyle or Mr. Siemon have any further comments.
Thanks again for your work on this project.

Subject: RE: red line of DA
Counselor:
Bill asked me to read the Agreement and comment directly to you. I hesitate to make any comment until we see
all of the Exhibits including the survey, but here goes. I would prefer to see each of the Exhibits actually
recorded, along with the DA. I know there are several copies of the "Exhibits" floating around and I would be
more comfortable knowing the right ones will be used in the future.
With regard to #18, Conflicts, if we make sure all of the exhibits and DA meet what was agreed upon before the
DA is signed, why even raise the possibility of a future conflict? Or, does that even matter?
The DA was a part of the Settlement Agreement and if the DA is conflicted in some way, is not the entire
settlement? I suppose the creation of #18 is an effort to make sure the Settlement survives, but at what cost. I'm
sure you have already considered all of this, but I saw the note [discuss and think about this] so I did.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into this _ day of
'2013, by and between the TOWN OF GULF STREAM, a Florida municipal
corporation (hereinafter the "Town"), whose address is 100 Sea Road, Gulf Stream, Florida
33483, and MARTIN E. O'BOYLE ("Owner"), whose address is 23 North Hidden Harbour Drive,
Gulf Stream, Florida 33483.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Town is empowered and authorized to enter into pevelopment_-
reements In accordance with the Florida Local Government Development_ Agreement Act,
-
------- - —
Florida Statutes--Se-ction 163.3220-163.3243 (2012) ("Act"); and ---_
WHEREAS, Owner filed an application for Development Approval for a Level 3
Architectural/Site Plan Review ("Application") seeking permission to construct a new front
entry feature to his existing residence located at 23 North Hidden Harbour Drive ( "Property");
and
WHEREAS, the Town Manager, acting as the Zoning Administrator ("Administrator")
determined that the proposed design of the new front entry feature would require four
variances from the requirements of the Town's Code of Ordinances ("Code"); and
WHEREAS, the Town Commission, sitting as the Board of Adjustment conducted a quasi-
judicial proceeding, following which it sustained the determination of the Administrator that
four variances from the Code were required, of which only one was granted ; and
- - Deleted: d
Deleted: a
WHEREAS, Owner appealed the Town Commission's Final Order and subsequently filed- Deleted:
a number of public records requests associated with the denial of the Application.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Town and Owner, for $10.00 and other good and valuable
consideration, including the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is acknowledged by each party, hereby agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
2. Current Zoning. The Property is located within the North/South Zoning District, Section
70-27 of the Code.
3. Future Land Use Plan Designation. The future land use designation of the Property is
Single Family.
4. Land uses. The Property is an improved single family home with garages that was
constructed in or about 1983.
5. Concurrency. The Property meets all applicable levels of service
6. Comprehensive Plan Consistency. The Property's zoning is consistent with the future
land use designation of the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
7. Land Development Regulations. The land development regulations which shall be
applied to the Property are contained within Chapters 66, entitled "Zoning" and 70, entitled
"Gulf Stream Design Manual" of the Code.
(a) The architectural feature shown on the entry feature as shown in the Plans (as
defined in the Settlement Agreement attached as Exhibit B) is not an "eave" and therefore shall
not be subject to the eave height requirements for structures pursuant to the Code. The result
Is that when the Code is properly applied to the Application no variance is required;
(b) The height of the proposed entry feature for this two story structure is not subject to
the eave height requirements contained in Section 70-100 (c) of the Code. Rather, the height of
the entry feature for this structure is governed by Section 70-100 (a) (4) of the Code. Under a
proper application of the Code, the Architectural/Site Plan Application submitted does not
require a variance; and
(c) With respect to the minimum front yard setback, a proper interpretation of the
Code would be that this setback should be measured from the atrium (the wall and trellis
system just north and east of the front entry of the home) as shown on the Architectural/Site
Plan because the atrium is part of the home. More particularly, the beginning point of the
measurement of the front yard set back should be the northernmost point of the atrium. When
the atrium is used as the beginning point for measurement no variance is required because
there is no encroachment.
8. Term. This Agreement shall have a term of thirty (30) years after the Effective Date;
provided, however, nothing shall preclude the parties from modifying or extending the
Development Agreement or entering into a new Development Agreement.
9. Authorized Development. The Town agrees:
a) (i) that the Property may be developed substantially in accordance with the
Application (Exhibit A-1) or substantially in accordance with the Plans (Exhibit A-2); to issue (or
cause to be issued) such other necessary permits, permission and approvals as may be required
to demolish and construct the Improvements upon the Property as set forth in the Application
or on the Plans;
b) that the height of the home's entry feature may be 30 feet measured from the
highest floor elevation to peak of the roof;
C) that the front setback for the Property shall be measured from the most
northerly portion of the existing atrium to the front lot line.; and
d) that the area under the entry feature shall be excluded from the calculation of
floor area.
P/1101/C/C/R2012
08.20.13
Page 2
e) that the development, renovation or redevelopment of the Property shall be
limited to a Single Family residence of no more than two stories
10. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the mutual consent of the Town
and Owner.
11. Exhibits. The Architectural/Site plan for the Property is attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Exhibit A-1. The Plans are attached hereto and are incorporated herein
as Exhibit A-2. The Settlement Agreement bearing even date herewith (and which is attached
hereto as Exhibit B) shall be incorporated herein and be a part hereof. [Exhibits — confirm no
conflicts]
12. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the agreement of the parties.

Subject: AD to be published once DA is final
Before publishing, please confirm that the owner of the property -is Martin E. O'Boyle. I
would try to line up the Post for publication on Friday, August 30 with the hope that we
will have agreement on the text of the DA by then. A Resolution approving the
incorporated DA will have to be created. Let me know if you would like me to do that. If
so please send the format of the Resolution.

DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT is made and entered into this _ day of
2013, by and between the TOWN OF GULFSTREAM, a Florida municipal
corporation (hereinafter the "Town"), whose address is 100 Sea Road, Gulf Stream, Florida
33483, and MARTIN E. O'BOYLE ("Owner"), whose address is 23 North Hidden Harbour Drive,
Gulf Stream, Florida 33483.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Town is empowered and authorized to enter into development
agreements in accordance with the Florida Local Government Development Agreement Act,
Florida Statutes Section 163.3220-163.3243 (2012) ("Act"); and
WHEREAS, Owner filed an application for Development Approval for a Level 3
Architectural/Site Plan Review ("Application") seeking permission to construct a new front
entry feature to his existing residence located at 23 North Hidden Harbour Drive ( "Property");
and
WHEREAS, the Town Manager, acting as the Zoning Administrator ("Administrator")
determined that the proposed design of the new front entry feature would require four
variances from the requirements of the Town's Code of Ordinances ("Code"); and
WHEREAS, the Town Commission, sitting as the Board of Adjustment conducted a quasi-
judicial proceeding, following which it sustained the determination of the Administrator that
four variances from the Code were required, of which one was granted ; and
WHEREAS, Owner appealed the Town Commission's Final Order and subsequently filed
a number of public records requests associated with the denial of the Application.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Town and Owner, for $10.00 and other good and valuable
consideration, including the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency
of which is acknowledged by each party, hereby agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.
2. Current Zoning. The Property is located within the North/South Zoning District, Section
70-27 of the Code.
3. Future Land Use Plan Designation. The future land use designation of the Property is
Single Family.
4. Land uses. The Property is an improved single family home with garages that was
constructed in or about 1983.
5. Concurrency. The Property meets all applicable levels of service.
6. Comprehensive Plan Consistency. The Property's zoning is consistent with the future
land use designation of the Town's Comprehensive Plan.
7. Land Development Regulations. The land development regulations which shall be
applied to the Property are contained within Chapters 66, "Zoning" and 70, "Gulf Stream Design
Manual" of the Code.
(a) The architectural feature shown on the entry feature as shown in the Plans (as
defined in the Settlement Agreement attached as Exhibit B) is not an "eave" and therefore shall
not be subject to the eave height requirements for structures pursuant to the Code. The result
is that when the Code is properly applied to the Application no variance is required;
(b) The height of the proposed entry feature for this two story structure is not subject to
the eave height requirements contained in Section 70-100 (c) of the Code. Rather, the height of
the entry feature for this structure is governed by Section 70-100 (a) (4) of the Code. Under a
proper application of the Code, the Architectural/Site Plan Application submitted does not
require a variance; and
(c) With respect to the minimum front yard setback, a proper interpretation of the
Code would be that this setback should be measured from the atrium (the wall and trellis
system just north and east of the front entry of the home) as shown on the Architectural/Site
Plan because the atrium is part of the home. More particularly, the beginning point of the
measurement of the front yard set back should be the northernmost point of the atrium. When
the atrium is used as the beginning point for measurement no variance is required because
there is no encroachment.
8. Term. This Agreement shall have a term of thirty (30) years after the Effective Date;
provided, however, nothing shall preclude the parties from modifying or extending the
Development Agreement or entering into a new Development Agreement.
9. Authorized Development. The Town agrees:
a) (i) that the Property may be developed substantially in accordance with the
Application (Exhibit A-1) or substantially in accordance with the Plans (Exhibit A-2); to issue (or
cause to be issued) such other necessary permits, permission and approvals as may be required
to demolish and construct the Improvements upon the Property as set forth in the Application
or on the Plans;
b) that the height of the home's entry feature may be 30 feet measured from the
highest floor elevation to peak of the roof,
C) that the front setback for the Property shall be measured from the most
northerly portion of the existing atrium to the front lot line.; and
d) that the area under the entry feature shall be excluded from the calculation of
floor area.
P/1101/C/C/R2012
08.20.13
Page 2
10. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by the mutual consent of the Town
and Owner.
11. Exhibits. The Architectural/Site plan for the Property is attached hereto and
incorporated herein as Exhibit A-1. The Plans are attached hereto and are incorporated herein
as Exhibit A-2. The Settlement Agreement bearing even date herewith (and which is attached
hereto as Exhibit B) shall be incorporated herein and be a part hereof. [Exhibits — confirm no
conflicts]
12. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated upon the agreement of the parties.
13. Successors in Interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties
successors and assigns, and shall run with the land.
14. Recording. This Agreement may be recorded in the Official Public Records in and for
Palm Beach County, Florida, if agreed to by the parties. In the alternative, a Memorandum of
the Development Agreement shall be recorded.
15. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Florida shall apply. Venue shall be in Palm
Beach County, Florida.
16. Attorney Fees. In the event either of the parties must enforce the terms of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its attorney fees and costs through
the appellate level.
17. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective when it is signed by the
authorized agent of each party. [why date after Settlement Agreement? What if not approved
by the Town?]
18. If and to the extent that there are any conflicts between this Agreement, Exhibit A-1,
Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit B, the provisions of Exhibit B shall prevail, except as follows: [discuss and
think about this].
19. Building Envelope. Attached as Exhibit C is a copy of a Survey which Survey provides a
Building Envelope of the Property (as defined in the Settlement Agreement). The parties agree
that O'Boyle (including his heirs, successors and assigns) may construct Improvements in the
Building Envelope.

Bill — attached is the Development agreement as revised by O'Boyle attorneys.
It's ok except for some minor issues which I will work out today or tomorrow with
his attorneys. We need to verify that the plans referenced in the DA as an exhibit
are the same as those previously submitted to the town and denied. Also, we
need a surveyor to look at the survey which shows the buildable lot area and
verify the square footage. I also want to include in the DA a provision that states
the lot can only have a 2 -story, single family home on it.
Most importantly the town has to have 2 public hearings before September 24. A
notice of the each public hearing has to be published 7 days in advance of each
public hearing. I will work on a notice for you and send one later today.
Marilyn — ask the Jupiter clerk's office or Valerie in PZ for the DDR notice in
word so I can modify it for Gulf Stream

the Agreement has to be recorded, and the town must have 2 public hearings
with notice published for each 7 days in advance. We will need to examine the

I will be leaving Orlando about 11 today. I will try to call Bill Ring this morning
before I leave. We have 2 hearings on this Agreement. I plan to discuss with
Ring the use of a better Exhibit C because the one he has been using is upside
down and difficult to read. I will also ask that setbacks be shown on the drawing
for second reading. It would be much easier if the town could have its planning
consultants prepare this Exhibit. If it is possible to get the base document from
Ring today, the town's consultants could prepare it for the meeting. If not, the
town's consultants should be engaged to prepare a new Exhibit C in time for the
second hearing.

Tom,
Please see the attached from Bill Ring, wanting to make sure we had the correct exhibit. He does not
have a larger exhibit and, as of now, he does not plan on attending the meeting. Do you have enough
information to recommend approval of the Developer's Agreement and the exhibits to the Commission
at its meeting tomorrow? I request that you handle this matter since you have been more actively
involved in the formulation of the agreement.

Following our conversation, attached:
1. Exhibit C to Development Agreement (no changes to what I first emailed to on 8/26/13). 1 email this
again so it's convenient.
2. Development Agreement — last page— Modification to Paragraph 19
3. Settlement Agreement — Page 2 —clarification to Numbered paragraph 1
Addressing your concerns, I added the following to paragraph 19 of the Development Agreement: after the
phrase Building Envelope "; provide, however, O'Boyle cannot construct any Improvements within 10' of the
west property line without the approval of the Town."
Continuing with that modification, I handwrote on paragraph 1 of the Settlement Agreement the following
clarification: "The term "Improvement" as used in the Settlement Agreement shall also include future
improvements to be constructed on the Property".
Tom you had requested a 15' side setback. I made the change to 10' as I understand that 10' is the original
setback that was in effect at the time the home was built in 1983.
My thought is that we could just initial page 2 and slip it in the already executed Settlement Agreement.

These are the documents I sent to you previously. As Ring's email explains he
proposes to initial an amendment to the Settlement Agreement, and a
modification to paragraph 19 of the DA. Because there are two hearings on the
DA I believe we can more appropriately handle the amendment to the DA and
Exhibit C (survey) before the next hearing. As for the Settlement Agreement, we
could prepare an amendment, but if you all and the Commission are OK with
initially any change to the Settlement Agreement I am. I really don't want to
open that up for discussion again. We could simply have the Commission vote
and the 2nd hearing to adopt the DA, and authorize the Mayor to execute the DA
and initial the modification to the Settlement Agreement on behalf of the Town.

Following our conversation, attached:
1. Exhibit C to Development Agreement (no changes to what I first emailed to on 8/26/13). 1 email this
again so it's convenient.
2. Development Agreement — last page — Modification to Paragraph 19
3. Settlement Agreement — Page 2 — clarification to Numbered paragraph 1
Addressing your concerns, I added the following to paragraph 19 of the Development Agreement: after the
phrase Building Envelope "; provide, however, O'Boyle cannot construct any Improvements within 10' of the
west property line without the approval of the Town."
Continuing with that modification, I handwrote on paragraph 1 of the Settlement Agreement the following
clarification: "The term "Improvement" as used in the Settlement Agreement shall also include future
improvements to be constructed on the Property".
Tom you had requested a 15' side setback. I made the change to 10' as I understand that 10' is the original
setback that was in effect at the time the home was built in 1983.
My thought is that we could just initial page 2 and slip it in the already executed Settlement Agreement.

1. The Town recognizes that the Plaintiff O'Boyle believes that the Town did
not apply a correct interpretation of its Code of Ordinances (the Code) as it pertains to
23 North Hidden Harbour Drive, Gulf Stream, Florida (hereinafter the "Property") and
the improvements on the Property (hereinafter the "Improvements"). In particular,
Plaintiff, O'Boyle argues that the Town did not correctly apply its Code with respect to
his request for Development Approval for, inter alia, a Level 3 Architectural/Site Plan
(the Application) and such other permissions, approvals, interpretations, clarifications
and authorizations relating to the Property (the "Approvals") to demolish and construct
the Improvements upon the Property as contemplated.. The seem "impruuemeNq

limitation, the current setback regulations established therein may not enable the
Plaintiff O'Boyle, or a subsequent purchaser to rebuild or renovate the Improvements,
Including, without limitation, the home; or enable O'Boyle or a subsequent purchaser to
demolish the Improvements, including, without limitation, the home and construct
Improvements, including, without limitation, a new home. Accordingly, in order to
resolve the Cases between the Plaintiffs and the Town, the Town agrees that the lot
coverage, floor area ratio, height, and setback of, inter alfa, the home's entry feature
shall be permitted in accordance with the plans submitted with the Application (the
"Plans") (which Plans shall be substantially the same as the Plans), which Application

Bill — good work. I too think we are there, but have one suggested
editorial comment regarding paragraph #9. In 9 a) - eliminate the "i" at
the beginning. Place the letter b) before the phrase which begins with
"to issue (or cause to be issued).... Thereafter re -letter b) to c) and so
forth. I approved the language for the Ad to be published this morning
and it went to the Post for publication earlier this afternoon. I also
prepared a Resolution for the Commission that approves the

REMARKS: o As Requested ❑ Urgent ❑ FYI ❑ For Your Review ❑ Reply ASAP
I'm a little confused about when O'Boyle's
was built. Every thing I read and heard up to the hearing on
Friday was that it was built in 1983. What I heard on Friday
was 1981. Which is it? I sent you the 1983 Code.
I am now including a part of the Code that includes a Supplement
(114) adopted June 12, 1981 (Ord 1181=2). I am also enclosing
part of Ord 1181-4 adopted Jan. 8, 1982.
I hope some of this helps with O'Boyle matter.
P.S. If you need to go back farther, I can go to at least 1952
but I don't think anyone around here ever heard of O'Boyle
lack tom (lucky them)
