INTER- OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA
OFFICE OF THE TOWN CLERK
Rita L. Taylor
TO: Chairman and Members of ARPB
DATE: 12 -1 -14
RE: Background on Agenda Items for 12 -8 -14
The attached are excerpts from the minutes of previous meetings
at which the items on this agenda were previously mentioned over
the past several months.
A• Should paver brick be counted as hardscape Sec. 70 -80,
Sec. 70- 148(1)
Town Manager Thrasher explained that the Code presently states that
driveways and pool decks shall not count toward the required 40% open
space. He explained that it has never been clear as to whether paver
bricks should be considered as hardscape since they are set in sand and
do have pervious spaces in between. He pointed out that over the years
since this code was developed, the use of paver bricks has become
increasingly popular and more of the front yards are being covered with
brick.
Chairman Lyons observed that there seems to be two issues, one being
esthetics and the other drainage.
Mr. Thrasher advised that Marty Minor was present and available to
provide input in these discussions.
Chairman Lyons asked Mr. Minor for his remarks, suggesting that
discussion follow.
Mr. Minor advised that most communities do not include driveways as open
space but he had seen some that count pool areas and sidewalks as open
space. In other areas they have stated that no more than 50% of the open
space can be hardscape.
Considerable
discussion
was held and the following questions resulted:
1)
Should
driveways
be counted as open space?
2)
Should
driveways
be counted as a percentage of open space?
3)
Should
paver brick
driveways be considered as hardscape?
4)
Should
there be a
maximum percentage of hardscape allowed for
the front
yard?
Attorney Randolph suggested a decision not be made at this meeting and
that a study be made as to what other communities similar to Gulf Stream
have done.
This suggestion was unanimously accepted and Mr. Roach moved to table
this matter until Mr. Minor can provide a summary of input from other
communities like Gulf Stream. Mr. Murphy seconded the motion
05' ✓ Entry Feature Height
Section 70 -100
Mr. Minor reminded that there have been changes in the past to try to
limit the size of the entry so it is not overpowering and that trying to
accomplish this has been difficult. He stated that he has added back in
some of the heights that were removed and cleaned up some of the
language in 70- 100(a)(4) about the entry features. He once again stated
the entire purpose is to not have an entry feature that overwhelms the
architecture of the house and be in keeping with the architecture of the
neighborhood and the District. He pointed out that the change allows the
heights of the entry feature to be a little higher than the eaves of the
structure but not overwhelmingly.
Mr. Thrasher stated that entry features have been becoming a very
dominant feature as seen from the street view. He said the current
language does not seem to work for the architects or the staff in that
the architects do not believe the balcony railings should-be counted as
a part of the entry feature.
Chairman Lyons reported that he had spent some time driving around and
looking at various homes and found he had a hard time deciding if the
balconies were a part of the entry feature or a part of the second
floor. He believed these entry feature regulations to be important
enough to have the matter continued to a Special Meeting at which some
graphic material could be presented to assist in this recommendation.
Mr. Minor suggested that he come back to the Board with photographs
containing measurements or some line drawings that would illustrate the
results of the change.
Mr. Thrasher asked Mr. Minor to include the home at the west end of Palm
Way and Chairman Lyons stated he would also like to include some for
review. Mr. Lyons also believed we should have input from a couple of
architects that do work in the Town.
�•C Color
(1). Section 70- 106(b) Principal building
(2). Section 70- 106(c) Trim
(3). Section 70- 106(d) Accent
Town Manager Thrasher reported that Attorney Randolph had drafted this
proposed language and staff believes it is very good. However, he
pointed out that two homes have recently been approved with the second
story being of a different color and material than the first floor which
could not have been approved with this proposed language. He added that
if the suggested waiver provision were to be adopted, that could be used
for approval of the 2 color application.

RE: SHOULD PAVER BRICK BE CONSIDERED AS HARDSCAPE?
ki i d
STUDIO
Urban Planning and Design
Landscape Architecture
Communication Graphics
As requested during the October Architectural Review and Planning Board, I have completed a survey
of local communities on whether paver bricks should be considered as hardscape and /or open space?
In the eight jurisdictions reviewed, paver bricks were considered as an alternative pavement material
used within driveways and sidewalks. None of the jurisdictions considered paver stones as part a
landscape or vegetated area.
Six of the eight communities, including the Town, do not allow paver bricks to be considered as open
space for a residential lot. Two communities, the Town of Ocean Ridge and City of Palm Beach
Gardens, allow pavers and other pavements to be counted as open space if they are being used for
"recreational purposes." These recreational purposes include pools and associated decks.
Attached for your review and information is a table summarizing each surveyed communities'
regulations regarding lot open space, building coverage, paver as open space, and general notes.

Sec. 70 -100. Roof & eave heights.��
�a) Generally
The height and number of eave lines and the overall height of a structure play an important role in establishing visual continuity
with other structures on the street and maintaining an appropriate residential /human scale. Most structures in the town are
characterized by simple roof designs with low to medium eave heights and roof heights. This type of design emphasizes the
horizontal dimension of the structure while minimizing the vertical dimension.
(2)Roof height Is measured from the top of the first finished floor to the highest exterior point on the roof. Eave height is measured
from the top of the first finished floor to the top of the roof beam at the end of the beam (top of flashing). Different eave heights
establish different eave lines. Two or more separate roof areas with the same eave height are considered to have the same eave
line.
(3)Roof features can provide appropriate design articulation to a roof area, but should be used sparingly to avoid unnecessary and
undesirable complexity. Roof features include, but are not limited to, chimneys, cupolas, decorative towers, dormers, and small cut-
outs and extensions. Two or more dormers are considered to be one roof feature, as are two or more chimneys.
(4)Entry features are the front portion of the structure which indicate and enhance the main pcevide desF entrance to the dwelling.
The height of the entry feature is measured from the finish floor elevation to the upper portion of any balcony railings, Dutch gable
or other such architectural elements. Entry features, if used, should provide a sense of arrival, yet should not overpower them or the
remainder of the structure. The scale and proportion of entry features should be consistent with the rest of the structure, varying
just enough to provide a focal point to the front of the house.
(b) One story homes

TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA
OFFICE OF THE TOWN MANAGER
WILLIAM H. THRASHER
DATE: November 25, 2014
TO: Chairman Lyons, and ARPB members
RE: Entry Feature Height
I am providing for your consideration, illustrative drawings that I have obtained from various sources of
architectural literature. At the special meeting of December 8, 2014 I will refer to these attachments.
Marty Minor will also be providing his thoughts on this topic.
At the last ARPB public hearing a presentation by Mark Marsh added a great deal of information
concerning this topic. However I do not believe that it provided sufficient information to determine "what
is an entry feature and how should it be defined in terms of height ". Town's staff does not feel that the
code, as written, is adequate for pre - application meetings with owners and/or their agent and seeks your
direction and assistance.
Please go to the Town's website, front page and click "videos" which is directly under "Minutes and
Agendas". Go to the November 20, 2014 video and pick -up the discussion at 33:50 (33 minutes and 50
seconds into the ARPB meeting.)
If I understand Mr. Marsh correctly, he believes that the "Entablature" should not be considered as a part
of the entry feature and that the height of the entry feature should be measured from the finished floor
elevation (FFE) to the top of the "columns and/or piers ". In source material that I have read, entablatures
are an integral part of the entry feature as the entablatures sits on top of columns /piers. Please refer to the
illustrations provided.
A simple solution to the challenge, that would give guidance to the staff and applicants, would include a
definition (Chapter 66) of Entablature and also include entablature in Section 70 -100 (a) (4).
Entry features are the front portion of the structure which provide door entrance to the dwelling. The
height of the entry feature is measured from the finish floor elevation to the upper portion of any balcony
railings, Dutch gable, entablature or other such elements. "
To rely on or allow a professional architect to determine what should be measured and/or included in an
entry feature is problematic long term. I do trust their skills, but I cannot feel it should be a "given ".

Suggested by Attorney Randolph for Code clarification:
(b) Principal building. Sec. 70 -106 Color.
"(2) Definition. "Principal building color" shall refer to the
prademinateappLoved color application to all walls of the principal building and
the associated accessory structures. Principal building colors are subject to
review and must be on the approved color list.
(3) Rettuirentents. All exterior walls of the principal building and the
associated accesson structures shall be of uniform color across the entire
principal building or associated accessory structure This requirement shall not
include trim and accent colors as those tens are defined in this code. Excluding
trim and accent colors. no exterior wall of a principal building or accessory
structure may contain or display more than one approved color and no exterior
wall of a principal building or accessory structure may contain or dispin• an
approved color that differs from ane other exterior wall on the same principal
building or acecsson,struchrre."
(c) Trint.
(1) Considerations. In addition to the pt + ffe44al— building surface, the trim
constitutes an important part of the home. Color selection should differentiate the
trim from the walls, but contrast should be appropriate to the architectural style.
Creatin, contrast helps to highlight the building articulation, while at the same
time reduces the potential box -like appearance. Care should be exercised in
selecting a color that will not overpower or dominate the home."
(3) Drim colas. All trim colors shall be uniform in appearance for that
portion of the trim clement to which the approved color is applied No trim
element shall contain or displa% an approved color that differs from any other
color approved for that trim element."
(d) Accent.
(2) Definition. Accent color" shall refer to the color application to any or all
building accents such as shutters. window coverings. doors. and awnines. Accent
colors are not subject to approved colors, but may not include all shades of purple,
primary red (except doors), or fluorescent colors. Accent colors. if used. shall be
consistent. uniform and uninterrupted
