HER =@I
You sent me a copy of an e-mail from Mr. J. O'Boyle, which
purports, rather informally, to be a Public Records request.
The highlighted Request (5) of the e -mail makes no sense, as it
requests "Email's sent from Scott Morgan's (sic) for the Month of
September 2013 ". 1 assume that is the request you wish me to
answer but since Mr. O'Boyle's request is vague, I am unable in
good faith to respond to it.
Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact
me.

Re: Hidden Harbour Fsiates Loi S

Dear Hoard Members:
Please note my objection to this application for Level 3 Architectural/Site Plan
Review of a 8,726 sf Colonial West Indies single family dwelling.
Sec. 66 -144 (b)(10)(1)
The proposed architectural design of this home violates the prohibition
against excessive similarity both in regard to neighboring homes and in comparison of its
East and West breezeway structures. The latter composition gives an appearance more of
the wings of an aircraft than of an Ocean West District home. Because the tat is long and
narrow, the applicant has attempted to create useable space by symmetrically loading the
farthest East and West sides of the property. The result is a forced balance that gives the
appearance of outstretched arms on a measuring scale. The long breezeways, nearly 27'
each, only heighten the sense of awkward balance between the two ancillary buildings.
2. See. 70 -4 (c)(4) and Sec. 70 -29 (b)(3)
This long, narrow and drawn out house design also conflicts with the
Code's prohibition against excessive similarity to neighboring homes, which by
definition then conflicts with the Code's prohibition against applications that "do not
maintain the desired character or quality of the zoning district within which they are
located... "(Art. T, Sec. 70-4 (c)(4)). The Ocean West District is characterized by "lots
that are set back great distances from the road ... the homes and landscape features lend a
formal, elegant and estate -like feel to the lots in the district." (Art. U, Sec. 70 -29 (b)(3)).
The homes ofthis District have a unique, separate character that helps define the Town of
Gulf Stream. The similarity of lots inside Hidden Harbour Estates —all of which are
rectangular, long East to West, and narrow, and which lay next to each other like two
rotes of domino tiles —has from its conception risked the potential of turning into a gated-

community subdivision, typical of large home neighborhoods in Boca Raton and West
Delray Beach. The previous three Hidden Harbour Estates homes approved by the ARPB
were all corner lots and so were evaluated on their own, rather than in juxtaposition to
homes an adjacent lots. The current application for Lot 5 is a middle lot, and is
sandwiched between two approved homes, each of which employs the now ubiquitous
long, narrow, rectangular design.
In order to preserve the integrity of the Ocean West District character, and
to prevent an over - crowding of similar homes inside Hidden Harbour Estates, I ask that
the Level 3 Architecturat/Site Plan Review of Lot 5 be denied, and request that the
applicant re- submit a house design consistent with the Gulf Stream Code.
Very truly yours,
