small addition to their home at 3032 Gulf Stream Road. He
explained that the existing home is 2,445 sq. ft. on a 13,715
sq. ft. lot and that they are asking to add 412 sq. ft. of
living space and 156 sq. ft. of lanai on the back side of the

and dining area. He added that the small addition will not
affect the landscaping or the drainage, and the roof will be
below the high peak as seen from the front.

stated a new roof on the entire structure was not planned at
this time.

Patricia E. Werhahn, the owners of property located at
1424 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Florida, which is
legally described as Lots 10 and 10A McLouth
Subdivision.
a. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL /SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit
construction of a partial 2 -story Anglo Caribbean
style single family dwelling with a cabana and a 3
car garage, a total of 12,710 square feet, and a
swimming pool.
Mark Marsh of Bridges, Marsh and Associates advised that he is
representing Richard J. Viens and Patricia E. Werhahn. Mr.
Marsh introduced Hollis Tidwell from his office and Matt Jackson
from the office of Navarro Landscape Design. Mr. Marsh remarked
that this is one of the nicest lots in Gulf Stream and he will
be showing how they intend to develop it. He explained that the
house is 12,000 sq. ft., much less than is allowed for this lot,
and the house is aligned to take advantage of the wonderful
view. While the architectural style is shown as Anglo Caribbean,
he pointed out that there are Georgian influences. The home is
a two -story with a one -story wing which is primarily a service
wing, adding that there are no Special Exceptions being
requested. He called attention to a free standing accessory
building ne4xt to the pool. The roof of the hous is a grey tile
that has previously been approved in town with the house to be a
light ivory with teal shutters and white trim.
Mr. Jackson, the landscape architect, explained the landscaping
design and pointed out that there will be a wide expanse of
grass due to the large size of the lot. He noted that the
utilities (mechanical equipment) will be screened by a high
landscaped mound rather than a wall and there will also be an
entry wall and gate at the driveway. There will be a secret
garden outside the breakfast area and attractive water features,
he said.
Mr. Marsh pointed out that the 2 -story element on the front of
the home has a recessed habitable entry, which is a 1 -story
element, with a decorative element above that is not a part of
the entry element. He said his is a classical entry with a set
of columns which is an element that is actually a part of the
structure for the second floor.
Mr. Murphy moved to recommend approve of a Level 3 Architectural
site plan based on a finding of proposed partial 2 -story single
story Anglo Caribbean style dwelling with a cabana, a 3 car
garage, a total of 12,710 square feet, and a swimming pool with
