D. Items Related to Previous Approvals. 1. An application submitted by Fredy Polania, Randall Stofft Architects, as agent for Scott & Beata Galloway, owners of property located at 1535 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Florida 33483, legally described as a Portion of the N. 100' of the S. 168' of Govt. Lot 1 of Section 10, Township 46 South, Range 43 East, Palm Beach County, Florida lying east of the easterly right-of-way line of Ocean Blvd. Mr. Polania reminded that the original poject at this address had been approved and that it had included an enclosed stairway to the second floor over the garage. He said that at the time they were applying for the building permit the owner decided that the enclosed staircase was too claustrophobic and they redesigned the entrance to an open staircase. He then presented a drawing showing the enclosed stairway and the open stairway with the hip and enclosure removed and an awning added over the door. Town Manager Dunham added that the original drawings for the second floor addition over the garage showed this area was to be finished as a guest suite and now is being shown as a storage area. Mr. Polania said the owners have decided they need more storage space and will use it for their art, etc. and it will not be air conditioned. Vice Chairman Murphy suggested that, since this will only be a storage area, perhaps it can be accessed thru a drop down stair in the garage. Mr. Polania said they wanted to keep the garage area open for the cars. The Town Clerk asked to have the south elevation displayed. 4 ARPB Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Held July 26, 2018 at 8:30 A.M. Mrs. Delafield asked if it's the front door that is being impeded with the stairwell and Mr. Polania said yes, but there is no other place to construct the stairs. He displayed a site plan to demonstrate this. Chairman Smith asked if there was any Public Comment on this matter and Sebastian Martinez-Villalba came forward and introduced himself, advising that he is representing Leslie Alexander. He said they feel they did not have proper notice as Mr. Alexander only received notice two days previously even though it was postmarked July 17, 2018, 9 days ago, but there is a 10 day requirement for notification. He said if this is not postponed, his preference is that it be denied in that it does not meet the quality of the neighborhood. a. A REVISION OF A LEVEL II ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN to permit the previously approved enclosed stairway to access the new second story addition over the garage to be changed to an open, unenclosed stairway on the south side of the garage. Vice Chairman Murphy moved to deny the revised Level 2 Architectural/Site Plan based on a finding that the proposed construction of an open, visible staircase does not meet the goal of maintaining the consistency of neighborhood quality and character. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Smith and all voted AYE at roll call. VII. Items by Staff. There were no items by staff. VIII. Items by Board Members. There were no items from the Board Members. IX.
