as Agent for The Little Club, owners of property located
at 100 Little Club Road, Gulf Stream, Florida legally
described as Club House Parcel, being a portion of
Property Control Number 20-43-45-34-14-000-0010 lying in
Sec. 3 Township 46 South, Range 43 East, Palm Beach County
Florida for the following:
a. Demolition Permit to permit the removal of the
maintenance bins.
b. Land Clearing Permit to clear the area where two
pickleball courts would be placed, which includes the
removal of 1 tree, in poor condition, and the addition
of 3 additional Areca Palm Trees.
c. Level 3 Architectural/Site Plan Review to permit the
construction of two pickleball courts that is within
a space approximately 120 ft. by 40 ft.
Ms. Carol Perez gave a detailed PowerPoint
Presentation of the two proposed pickleball courts noting the location
being next to the croquet court and at least 600 ft. from any residence.
Ms. Perez explained the landscaping that would be surrounding the courts
as well as the fencing that would be screened to provide noise
reduction. Mr. Ross Curtis stated that they would be using noise
reducing paddles and balls as well as the noise reducing court. He
added that their biggest concern were the people playing croquet next to
the pickleball courts only 25 ft. away and had done a test with the
croquet leadership committee giving their blessing.
Chairman Smith commended The Little Club for doing everything
that had been previously suggested when they applied regarding
pickleball courts a couple of years prior and were being the least
offensive they could be in their placement of the courts. He also
thought they should still have a Declaration of Use Agreement but in a
scaled down, less stringent version.
Chairman Smith noted that the Town had received three letters of
concern from residents at L'Hermitage regarding the timing of the
application. He added that'the letters stated a preference of the ARPB
deferring the application to a time when more residents were in town.
Chairman Smith asked that the letters be made a part of the minutes and
asked Town Clerk Taylor to read the letter from Lolly Prince, which she
did. Ms. Taylor added that these letters would also be passed on to the
Commission if they recommended approval. Chairman Smith stated they had
three choices: recommend approval, deny approval, or defer the
application to a future meeting. Board Member Canfield felt that the
noise issue had been addressed. Board Member Dockerty agreed with Mr.

Dr. Russell Rosicki, Architect, gave a detailed
PowerPoint Presentation and explained that this was an unproportionate
Spanish Mediterranean Gulf Stream -style home that was small
horizontally and not well -designed. He added they wanted to improve
the curb -appeal of the exterior to a Gulf Stream Bermuda -style as well
as make improvements to the interior. Chairman Smith asked Dr. Rosicki
to expound on the exterior improvements. Dr. Rosicki stated they were
proposing removal of the arcade and adding a foyer addition at the
front with a portico and a pergola for the effect of a having an open
porch. He added they would be reshaping the roof for this effect. To
balance the right side of the home with the left side, he stated they
were adding a small addition for a master bedroom and bathroom suite.
Chairman Smith asked about the garage entry and if the door was moving
to which Dr. Rosicki answered in the affirmative and stated part of the
garage was being converted to a laundry room/mud room and an additional
bathroom connected to an existing bedroom that would accommodate a
special needs person.
Mrs. Janet Ireland, Landscape Architect, stated she was a
resident of Place au Soleil and lived across the street from The
Hunley's. She added that she had served five years as a volunteer on
the Committee for the redesign of the entryway of Place au Soleil and
was very familiar with Gulf Stream guidelines. Mrs. Ireland stated the
landscape plan added curb appeal, integrated the existing trees, added
texture and color, and followed the guidelines of Gulf Stream. The
Board all agreed that the changes were lovely and practical.

permit to remove a small portion of the roof and a portion of a wall to
accommodate a small addition to the existing dwelling. Alternate Board

Mr. Stephen Brasgalla, Architect, stated they were
requesting to build an 8' privacy wall along the northwestern portion
of the property, adding that presently there was a low chain -link fence
there. He added that because it was in the North Ocean Overlay
District, 17' of the wall would be within 50, of the right of way on
AlA, thus their reason for the presentation. Mr. Brasgalla showed
pictures of the existing privacy wall on the south side of the property
and stated they would be matching that wall, which was stucco with a
stone cap. He added it wouldn't be very visible from the roadway as
the wooded area was quite dense. Chairman Smith asked if any
vegetation would need to be removed and if so, would there be any
objection from the neighbor. Mr. Brasgalla stated that it didn't look
like they would need to remove anything but underbrush and if they did,
they would provide a landscape plan at the time of permitting. Town
Manager Dunham stated the staff could handle that small portion of
landscaping without it having to come back before the ARPB.
Board Member Dockerty made a motion to approve a North Ocean
Boulevard Overly Permit to construct an 8' high concrete privacy wall
at the north property line within the N. Ocean Boulevard Overlay
District. Alternate Board Member Canfield seconded the motion with all
voting AYE at roll call.
