An application submitted by GE Architecture, as Agent for Davin Gebauer, owner of the property located at 3420 Gulfstream Road, Gulf Stream, Florida, legally described as LOT 1, BLOCK 1, PLAT NO 1, POLO FIELDS. a. Variance under Section 70-187 to permit a retaining wall and decorative aluminum fence totaling 7110" that exceeds the maximum allowable height for walls and fences of 6' by 1'10". b. Level III Architectural/Site Plan Review to permit the construction of a 3'10" high retaining wall, with a 4' decorative aluminum fence. Mr. Gary Eliopoulos, Architect, gave a detailed PowerPoint presentation. He mentioned that they were having a lot of issues with several municipalities when it comes to federal regulations and State regulations regarding finished floor height and elevations. He gave stats for present FEMA Flood Elevation (610" NAVD), Florida Building Code Elevation (7'0" NAVD), and the pending FEMA Flood Elevation (810" NAVD). Mr. Eliopoulos went through the criteria needed for a variance. Chairman Murphy asked if there had been any feedback from the neighbors to which Town Clerk Basel answered in the negative. The Board agreed that it would have been helpful to have the items presented in the PowerPoint presentation prior to the meeting so that they could go over it in detail. Board Member Smith asked how the heights had been chosen to which Mr. Eliopoulos gave an explanation that included trying to keep the retaining wall as low as possible and height of fence per the Code for pools. Board Member Canfield stated that Town Staff had made suggestions that wouldn't require a variance and wanted to know why that suggestion wasn't taken to which Mr. Eliopoulos stated it came down to the owner not wanting to eat up more of his land. Board Member Smith stated that since it was possible to move it in two feet and not need the variance, she found that to be the solution. Chairman Murphy had issues with the variance criteria not being met. Mr. Eliopoulos stated that this was going to keep coming up as most every municipality was going to eight feet. Board Member Smith made a motion to recommend denial of a variance from the provisions in Section 70-187(7) to permit the construction of a 3'10" high retaining wall, with a 4' decorative aluminum fence based on the conditions that Criteria 1, 2, 3, and 5 were not met. Vice Chairman Dockerty seconded the motion with all voting AYE at roll call. 2.

Bermuda -style two-story, single-family dwelling with 2.5 car garage, and pool. Mr. Gary Eliopoulos, Architect, gave a detailed PowerPoint presentation. He added that they were only asking for 40' with the Special Exception. The Board members asked about the percentage of glass to which Mr. Eliopoulos answered they were well under the allowed at 280. The Board once again asked if they could get the presentation with the arrows and numbers prior to the meeting as it was most helpful. Alternate Board Member Jones asked about the material for the hardscape to which Mr. Eliopoulos answered that it had not yet been selected by the client. Chairman Murphy asked if there had been any feedback from the neighbors to which Town Clerk Basel answered in the negative. At this point, there was a resident, Penny McCool, in attendance that noted she lived next door. She asked a question without going to the microphone and it couldn't be understood when listening to the audio. However, Board Member Smith asked how she felt to which Mrs. McCool stated she was fine, and it didn't affect her. Vice Chairman Dockerty made a motion to approve a Special Exception to reduce the rear setback from 50' to 40' as per Section 70-75(j), Rear Setbacks for Waterfront Lots in the Core District.
