Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, FL (1). Request to change roof color. Mr. Iadarola, Project Manager for the Oimprovements at the Bath & Tennis Club Fitness Center requested to change the roof color from white flat cement tile to grey flat cement tile. Mr. John Mouw, also a Project Manager displayed a sample of both the white and the proposed grey tile. Mr. Iadarola explained that there are tree limbs covering the entire area and it will be next to impossible to maintain a white roof that would be acceptable. He further pointed out that the color will match the roof on the building at the opposite end of the tennis courts. All members of the Board were in agreement with this requested change and Vice Chairman Smith moved to approve the change from white, flat cement tile to grey, flat cement tile. Mr. Dockerty seconded the motion and all voted AYE at the roll call. 1. An application submitted by Carlos Linares of Randall Stofft Architects, as Agent for Dan and Maria Reinhart, the owners of property located at 955 Indigo Point, Gulf Stream, Florida 33483, legally described as Lot 71 and OPart of Lot 72, Place Au Soleil Subdivision, heard on January 26, 2017 and February 23, 2017 by ARPB, heard on March 10, 2017 by Town Commission and returned to ARPB for complete re -review with complete landscape plans in place. In the absence of Mr. Mark Jacobsen, Landscape Architect, Mr. Linares called attention to the amended landscape drawing that shows some added trees on the north and south sides of the home to cover a portion of the roof. The Board did not believe this addition of material presented would meet what is expected. Mr. Dockerty moved to defer action on this matter until the Landscape Architect is present. Mr. Smith seconded the motion and suggested that he bring a copy of the drawings of the landscaping for the house to the south. Before the vote was taken to defer this matter, the Landscape Architect arrived, Mr. Dockerty withdrew his motion and Mr. Smith withdrew his second. OThe Town Clerk administered the Oath to Mr. Mark Jacobson and it was explained to him that what has been added does not appear to achieve the amount of coverage that is expected for a two story home. Mr. Jacobson explained that it will be necessary to add more planting to the west elevation as well as the north and south sides. He summarized n the amendments to the landscape design. Mr. Murphy moved that this project be presented again at the next E ARPB Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Mar. 23, 2017 @ 8:30 A.M. OCommission meeting and that it shall include the additional vegetation and buffering recommendations that have been presented at this meeting, and be shown on amended drawings, with no changes to the other previous recommendations that were made.

(Previous recommendation verified with amended landscape design as presented at this meeting) VII. Items by Staff. There were no items from the staff. VIII. Items by Board Members. Mr. Roach expressed concern that nearly all applications include �) designs that take advantage of the discouraged items in the Code which results in a more massive structure. Chairman Kent was in agreement and believed that where eave heights are concerned, there should be no discouraged items for 2 -story homes and only the preferred eave heights should be permitted. He asked that this be an item on the next agenda to consider whether this should be a recommendation to the Town Commission. IX. Public. There was no comment from the public. X. Adjournment.
