OC. Applications and/or Items Previously Heard
2. Items previously considered.
a. Administratively Approved Renovation of fitness center
owned by the Gulf Stream Bath & Tennis Club, located
at 925 N. 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

�) designs that take advantage of the discouraged items in the Code which
results in a more massive structure.

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.
