Color, material, and roof consistent with principal building (preferred). (Ord. No. 00 -1, § 44, 3- 10 -00) Sec. 70 -106. Color. (a) Generally. (1) Color should be representative of the architectural style of the structure. Various pastel colors characterize Gulf Stream - Bermuda style homes, while off- whites, warm pastels, and light earthtone colors are common to Spanish Mediterranean homes. The chapter addresses color in a manner that will aid in its selection. Three categories, principal building color, trim color, and accent color have been established that correspond to color application for various architectural features. (2) Approved colors may be appropriate for one style of architecture but may be inappropriate for another (see article VII, Predominant Architectural Styles). An example of an inappropriate use of color would be a blue Spanish Mediterranean style home. A complete color sample chart displaying all approved colors is available at the town hall. A complete list of approved principal building and trim colors follows, and an explanation of color terms and the methodology of the color selection process is included in section 70 -300. (3) The following colors are approved for all single - family homes. Colors are approved for the principal building and building trim. The color specifications referenced are from the Benjamin Moore Color Selector Kit, which is used as a reference only. The kit was selected based on completeness, ease of use, and availability. The town does not recommend or endorse any specific paint product or manufacturer. The kit, along with the color selection chart located in the town hall, shall serve as a basis for comparison, where any paint sample can be compared and classified as approved or prohibited. (b) Principal building. (1) Considerations. Many factors affect the application of color. Careful consideration should be exercised when selecting a color based on a color sample or color chip. Considerations include, but are not limited to, size, texture, and fenestration of the surface. Colors usually appear darker and more intense when applied over a large surface. The texture of the surface can cast shadows, CD70:59 ¢ 70 -106 GULF STREAM CODE making colors appear darker. The arrangement of the windows and various other elements define the amount of solid wall surface to consider. In general, colors should exemplify a high to medium -high value and a low to medium -low chrome. (see section 70 -300, Color). (2) Definition. 'Principal building color' shall refer to the predominant color application to all walls of the principal building and associated accessory structures. Principal building colors are subject to review and must be on the approved color list. (3) Approved color list. The following colors are approved as principal building colors on all homes except for the Spanish Mediterranean style. For Spanish Mediterranean style, yellow - greens, toned yellow - greens, toned greens, greens, blue - greens, toned blue - greens, blues, and blue - violets (colors #365 through 840) referenced herein shall be prohibited. a.

(1) Considerations. In addition to the principal 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. Creating 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. (2) Definition. "Trim color" shall refer to the color application to any or all building trim elements such as eaves, soffits, overhangs, cornices, friezes, fascias, windows, sills, brackets, and gutters (if painted).

The following colors are approved as trim colors on all homes except for the Spanish Mediterranean style. For Spanish Mediterranean style, yellow - greens, toned yellow - greens, toned greens, greens, blue - greens, toned blue - greens, blues, and blue - violets (colors #365 through 840) referenced herein shall be prohibited.

Sometimes it is important to highlight specific features of the home. Accent color should be chosen to provide contrast to isolated items such as shutters, doors, and/or awnings. Often these features may be included as trim, but if special attention is desired, the level of contrast can be increased. Contrast can be achieved by simply using a different hue or by changing the chrome and/or value. Accent colors should be used sparingly or they lose their effectiveness. (2) Definition. "Accent color" shall refer to the color application to any or all building accents such as shutters, doors, and awnings. Accent colors are not subject to approved colors, but may not include all shades of purple, primary red (except doors), or fluorescent colors. (e) Stain. In addition to paint, a designer or homeowner may choose to select stain as a color option. Stain should be used as a principal building color only if the building material is wood and it is appropriate with the architectural style. Stain may be used as trim and accent colors but not as the principal building color for Spanish Mediterranean and Gulf Stream- Bermuda homes. Stain should be reflective of earthtone colors. Darker colors are permissible to compensate for absorption and fading. Stains do not have to be compared to the approved color samples, but must be consistent with the community character of the town. (f) Required. Principal building color selected from the "approved color list" Trim colors selected from "approved trim color list" (g) Preferred. Principal building color representative of architectural style Trim color(s) and accent colors to be compatible with architectural style Trim color(s) to be consistent or complementary to principal building color (h) Discouraged. Dark stains inconsistent with community character More than three colors (principal building and trim) Non - traditional accent colors —For example: deep orange, bright teal, mustard yellow, bright royal blue Principal building colors not representative of architectural style Tzim color(s) and accent colors not compatible with architectural style Trim color(s) not consistent or complementary to principal building color (i) Prohibited. Non - earthtone stains Non - approved colors for principal buildings and trim Purples, red (except doors), fluorescent colors, and substantially bright colors (such as: magenta, lime green, bright pink, bright orange), as trim or accent Quoins painted a darker shade than the principal building color (Ord.

(Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -69. Enforcement procedure. (a) An employee of the town who is duly au- thorized by the town manager and responsible for the enforcement of such ordinances, hereinafter referred to as a "code enforcement officer," may initiate code enforcement proceedings and issue citations or notices of violation to a person or persons to appear in front of the special master § 2 -69 when the code enforcement officer, upon personal investigation, has reasonable cause to believe that the person or persons are in violation of the codes cited in this division. Employees who may be designated as code enforcement officers may include but are not limited to, code inspectors, law enforcement officers, public works inspectors, fire safety inspectors, and zoning inspectors. (b) If a violation of the codes is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator, unless subsec- tion (c) below applies, and give such violator a reasonable time, which shall not exceed 30 days, to correct the violation. Should the violation con- tinue beyond the time specified for correction, the code inspector shall notify the special master and request a hearing. The special master shall sched- ule a hearing, and written notice of such hearing shall be hand delivered or mailed as provided in section 2 -75 to the violator. At the option of the special master, notice may additionally be served by publication or posting as provided in section 2 -75. If the violation is corrected and then recurs or if the violation is not corrected by the time specified for correction by the code inspector, the case may be presented to the special master even if the violation has been corrected prior to the special master hearing, the notice shall so state. (c) If a repeat violation is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator but is not re- quired to give the violator a reasonable time to correct the violation. The code inspector, upon notifying the violator of a repeat violation, shall notify the special master and request a hearing. The special master shall schedule a hearing and shall provide notice pursuant to section 2 -75. The case may be presented to the special master even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to the hearing, and the notice shall so state. If the repeat violation has been corrected, the special master retains the right to schedule a hearing to determine costs and impose the payment of rea- sonable enforcement fees upon the repeat viola- tor. The repeat violator may choose to waive his or her rights to this hearing and pay the costs as determined by the special master. A repeat viola- tion is a violation of a provision of a code or ordinance by a person whom the special master has previously found to have violated the same provision within five years prior to the violation. CD2:5 " " J " ADMMISTRATION the violation continues past the date set by the special master for compliance or, in the case of a repeat violation, for each day the repeat violation continues, beginning with the date the repeat violation is found to have occurred by the special master. In addition, if the violation is a violation described in subsection 2 -69(d) of this division, the special master shall notify the local governing body, which may make all reasonable repairs which are required to bring the property into compliance and charge the violator with the rea- sonable cost of the repairs along with the fine imposed pursuant to this section. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has been made as provided in this section, a hearing shall not be necessary for issuance of the order imposing the fine. If, after due notice and hearing, a special master finds a violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may order the violator to pay a fine as specified in subsection (b), below. (b) A fine imposed pursuant to this section shall not exceed $250.00 per day for a first viola- tion, and shall not exceed $500.00 per day for a repeat violation, and, in addition may include all costs of repairs pursuant to subsection (a), above. However, if the special master finds the violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may impose a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 per viola- tion. (c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the special master shall consider the follow- ing factors: (1) The gravity of the violation; (2) Any actions taken by the violator to cor- rect the violation; and (3) Any previous violations committed by the violator. (d) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine may be recorded in the public record and thereaf- ter shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists, and upon any other real or personal property owned by the violator. Upon petition to the circuit court, such order may be enforced in the same manner as a court judg- ment by the sheriffs of this state, including levy against the personal property, but such order shall not be deemed to be a court judgment except � 2 -74 for enforcement purposes. A fine imposed pursu- ant to this section shall continue to accrue until the violator comes into compliance or until a judgment is rendered in a suit to foreclose on a lien filed pursuant to this section, whichever occurs first. A lien arising from a fine imposed pursuant to this section runs in favor of the town and the town may execute a satisfaction or re- lease of a lien entered pursuant to this section. After three months from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the town may authorize the town attorney to foreclose on the lien. No lien created pursuant to the provisions of this section may be foreclosed on real property which is a homestead under Section 4, Article X of the State Constitution. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -73. Duration. No lien provided under this division shall con- tinue for a period longer than 20 years after the certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless within that time an action to foreclose on the lien is commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction. In an action to foreclose on a lien, the prevailing party is entitled to recover all costs, including a reasonable attorney's fee, that it incurs in the foreclosures. The town shall be entitled to collect all costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid lien. The contin- uation of the lien effected by the commencement of the action shall not be good against creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration without notice, unless a notice of lis pendens is recorded. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -74. Appeals. An aggrieved party, including the town, may appeal a final administrative order of the special master to the circuit court of Palm Beach County, Florida. Such an appeal shall not be a hearing de novo, but shall be limited to appellate review of the record created before the special master. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execu- tion of the order to be appealed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) CD2:7 k'. . - • ADMINISTTiATTON Sec. 2 -77.

However, when you actually repainted the door, the color that was applied was a prohibited color, a bright pink. In our discussions with you regarding this matter, you maintained the color is actually red, which is an acceptable color for a front door. These discussions took place over a period of several months, some being held when you were here in Florida and others on the phone when you were in New York. At one point you stated you would come to the office and select another color that could be approved, however, since you did not do this, we issued the first NOTICE OF VIOLATION on 1 -3 -07 advising if the violation were not corrected within 15 days, it would result in an appearance in front of the Special Magistrate. Upon receipt of this notice, you advised that you are requesting an Appeal of an Administrative Decision in front of the Town Commission. We furnished you the application forms via fax and to date have not received the application, nor have we had any contact with you. Therefore we are issuing this, the Second Notice of Violation of Sec. 70- 106(1). This is to be considered official notice to within 15 days.

Contrast can be achieved by simply using a different hue or by changing the chroma and/or value. Accent colors should be used sparingly or they lose their effectiveness. (2) Definition.

If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has been made as provided in this section, a hearing shall not be necessary for issuance of the order imposing the fine. If, after due notice and hearing, a special master finds a violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may order the violator to pay a fine as specified in subsection (b), below. (b) A fine imposed pursuant to this section shall not exceed $250.00 per day for a first viola- tion, and shall not exceed $500.00 per day for a repeat violation, and, in addition may include all costs of repairs pursuant to subsection (a), above. However, if the special master finds the violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may impose a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 per viola- tion. (c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the special master shall consider the follow- ing factors: (1) The gravity of the violation; (2) Any actions taken by the violator to cor- rect the violation; and (3) Any previous violations committed by the violator. (d) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine may be recorded in the public record and thereaf- ter shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists, and upon any other real or personal property owned by the violator. Upon petition to the circuit court, such order may be enforced in the same manner as a court judg- ment by the sheriffs of this state, including levy against the personal property, but such order shall not be deemed to be a court judgment except � 2 -74 for enforcement purposes. A fine imposed pursu- ant to this section shall continue to accrue until the violator comes into compliance or until a judgment is rendered in a suit to foreclose on a lien filed pursuant to this section, whichever occurs first. A lien arising from a fine imposed pursuant to this section runs in favor of the town and the town may execute a satisfaction or re- lease of a lien entered pursuant to this section. After three months from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the town may authorize the town attorney to foreclose on the lien. No lien created pursuant to the provisions of this section may be foreclosed on real property which is a homestead under Section 4, Article X of the State Constitution. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -73. Duration. No lien provided under this division shall con- tinue for a period longer than 20 years after the certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless within that time an action to foreclose on the lien is commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction. In an action to foreclose on alien, the prevailing party is entitled to recover all costs, including a reasonable attorney's fee, that it incurs in the foreclosures. The town shall be entitled to collect all costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid lien. The contin- uation of the lien effected by the commencement of the action shall not be good against creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration without notice, unless a notice of Hs pendens is recorded. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14-98) Sec. 2 -74. Appeals. An aggrieved party, including the town, may appeal a final administrative order of the special master to the circuit court of Palm Beach County, Florida. Such an appeal shall not be a hearing de novo, but shall be limited to appellate review of the record created before the special master. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execu- tion of the order to be appealed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14-98) CD2:7 § 2 -75 Sec. 2 -75. Notices.

(b) In addition to providing notice as set forth in this section, at the option of the special master, notice may also be served by publication or post- ing, as follows: (1) Such notice shall be published once dur- ing each week for four consecutive weeks (four publications being sufficient) in a newspaper of general circulation in Palm Beach County, Florida.

(3) In lieu of publication as described in this section, such notice may be posted for at least ten days in at least two locations, one of which shall be the property upon which the violation is alleged to exist and the other of which shall be at town hall. (4) Proof of posting shall be by affidavit of the person posting the notice, which affidavit shall include a copy of the notice posted and the date and places of its posting. (c) Notice by publication or posting may run concurrently with, or may follow, an attempt or attempts to provide notice by hand delivery or by mail as required under this section. (d) Evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice as provided in this section, together with proof of publication or post- ing as provided in this section shall be sufficient to show that the notice requirements of this section have been met, without regard to whether or not the alleged violator actually received such notice. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14-98) Sec. 2 -76. Procedure to request that a fine or lien imposed pursuant to sec- tion 2 -72 be reduced; conditions and criteria therefor. (a) The owner of real property against which a fine or lien has been imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 may apply to the special master, through the town attorney or his/her designee, for a satisfac- tion of the fine or lien with less than full payment thereof. No such application shall be considered by the special master until the applicant has first shown that: (1) All ad valorem property taxes, special assessments, town utility charges and other government - imposed liens against the sub- ject real property have been paid. (2) The applicant is not personally indebted to the town for any reason. (3) All town code violations have been cor- rected under necessary permits issued therefor. (b) In considering an application to reduce a fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72, no satisfaction thereof shall be approved by the spe- cial master with less than full payment thereof, unless the special master shall make a specific finding that no violation of any ordinance de- scribed in section 2 -68 of this Code exists on the subject real property. (c) The balance of any fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 that is reduced by the special master shall be paid on such terms as approved by the special master. (d) If the property for which an application for a fine reduction is being considered is owned by a government or quasi - government entity, the spe- cial master may reduce such fine even if the violation has not been corrected.

Thrasher Town Manager Town of Gulf Stream 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, FL 33483 Hello Bill, Expect this note finds you in good health as we move forward into the New Year. As you may already know, your notice of violation was given to me, quite by happenstance, by Chief Ward on January 18, 2007. Your letter is dated January 3, 2007. Please adjust your "delivery" calculations accordingly. Earlier today, Rita Taylor visited my home and brought along the Benjamin Moore color fan deck. We spent some time together comparing the color of the door to the fan deck colors. She, along with two other people, and I, agreed that the color of the door matches Benjamin Moore Fan Deck color 20086 -30, aka "rosy blush." Apparently, some people in Gulf Stream are less concerned with the wars in the middle -east, genocide in Somalia, and the avalanche of Beltway geo political suicides. Rather, they are focused on Section 70- 106 (i) of our Code of Ordinances. I herewith submit the following facts for your consideration. (1) The Benjamin Moore, 20086 -30, "rosy blush" color matches my front door. (2) This afternoon, I spoke with Yvan Dupuy, Chief Executive Officer of Benjamin Moore & Company. Summer: 253 Further Lane • Box 8 • East Hampton, New York 11937.631- 537-0067 • Fax- 631- 537 -3877 Winter: 3032 Gulfstream Road • Galfstream, Florida 33483 •561 -243 -1177 • Fax: 561- 279 -9704 e -mail: spudsdcs@bellsouth.net (3) The technical - product manager at Dupuy's company reported that "rosy blush" is in the red family. It is considered a light red by their chemical and color analysts. (4) Article 70 -106 (i) of the Gulf Stream Code states that "red" is not a prohibited color for doors. In consideration of the aforementioned, please notify me either by cell phone (917 -488 -1444) or email (spudsdcs(@bellsouth.net) that your assessment of the code "violation" is, in fact, incorrect. Therefore, I will assume that neighbors, friends and other visitors, including the two feral cats that reside in my back yard, will continue to enjoy the color scheme that I personally selected for my home at 3032 Gulfstream Road. Kind personal regards. Sincerely, P.S. You will recall our conversations over the last two years about the feral cat problem. Though this issue may be totally insignificant, may I suggest that the Town continue to vigorously enforce every possible activity that will eliminate danger to the health of all the residents in Gulf Stream Town. My guess is that there are politically influential people within the community that love cats. This is not an issue. However, given the studies compiled by the National Health Institute, we all know that feral cats do, in fact, endanger the health of humans wherever the two (feral cats and humans) reside.

Urban Design Studio is also in receipt of the certified letter from the homeowner dated January 18, 2007, and has reviewed its content. Considerations: The following regulations have been reviewed to provide direction for the existing conditions of the subject door color. 1) Chapter 70, Article V, Section 70 -106 Color, (d) Accent, (1 and 2) Considerations and Definitions 2) Chapter 70, Article V, Section 70 -106 Color, (I) Prohibited Findings: As indicated on the attached photographs taken January 24, 2007, the front door has been painted a "bright pink' color. Upon further comparison with the Benjamin Moore paint chart, the closest color match was identified as "rosy blush'. Therefore, based upon the paint chart comparisons, the selected door color is not characteristic of existing trim accent colors or permitted in the town described within Section 70 -106.

(i) Prohibited: Purples, red (except doors), florescent colors, and substantially bright colors (such as: magenta, lime green, bright pink, bright orange), as trim or accent. It is Urban Design Studio's finding that bright pink is clearly and specifically called out as prohibited as an accent door color. Recommendations: The homeowner needs to bring the door color into compliance with the Town of Gulf Stream Code of Ordinances by selecting a color that is in keeping with the definition of "Accent Color" as outlined in Section 70 -106 (d)(1 and 2). cc: Bill Thrasher, Town Manager, Town of Gulf Stream (via email) Globs \Gulf Stream Town W\A.hitcmurc Rcvicw4Arch.

Shedrick 3032 Gulf Stream Road HAND DELIVERY Gulf Stream, Florida 33483 -7310 Article #185 Dear Mr. Shedrick: It has come to our attention that the front door of the home located at the above address has recently been repainted with paint of a color that is prohibited in the Code of Ordinances. We are enclosing a copy of Section 70- 106(i) of the Gulf Stream Code of Ordinances. The door is considered an "accent" feature of the home. As such there are certain colors that are prohibited to be used on "accents ". The bright pink on your door is a prohibited color. This is to be considered official notice to correct this violation within 15 days. Failing to comply with this order shall result in an appearance before the Special Magistrate and further action as provided in Chapter 2, Article III, Division 2 of the Code of Ordinances. A copy of this is enclosed for your reference. V// ry truly ours, William H. Thrasher Town Manager Encls. 100 SEA ROAD, GULF STREAM, FLORIDA 33483 § 70 -106 GULF STREAM CODE • n.

Sometimes it is important to highlight specific features of the home. Accent color should be chosen to provide contrast to isolated items such as shutters, doors, and/or awnings. Often these features may be included as trim, but if special attention is desired, the level of contrast can be increased. Contrast can be achieved by simply using a different hue or by changing the chroma and/or value. Accent colors should be used sparingly or they lose their effectiveness. (2) Definition. "Accent color" shall refer to the color application to any or all building accents such as shutters, doors, and awnings. Accent colors are not subject to approved colors, but may not include all shades of purple, primary red (except doors), or fluorescent colors. (e) Stain. In addition to paint, a designer or homeowner may choose to select stain as a color option. Stain should be used as a principal building color only if the building material is wood and it is appropriate with the architectural style. Stain may be used as trim and accent colors but not as the principal building color for Spanish Mediterranean and Gulf Stream - Bermuda homes. Stain should be reflective of earthtone colors. Darker colors are permissible to compensate for absorption and fading. Stains do not have to be compared to the approved color samples, but must be consistent with the community character of the town. (f) Required. Principal building color selected from the "approved color list" • Trim colors selected from "approved trim color list" (g) Preferred. Principal building color representative of architectural style Trim color(s) and accent colors to be compatible with architectural style Trim color(s) to be consistent or complementary to principal building color (h) Discouraged. Dark stains inconsistent with community character More than three colors (principal building and trim) Non - traditional accent colors —For example: deep orange, bright teal, mustard yellow, bright royal blue Principal building colors not representative of architectural style Trim color(s) and accent colors not compatible with architectural style Trim color(s) not consistent or complementary to principal building color (i) Prohibited.

(10) Chapter 70, Design Manual. (b) The jurisdiction of the special master shall not be exclusive. Any alleged violation of any of the aforesaid codes and ordinances may be pur- sued by appropriate remedy in the court at the option of the administrative official bearing re- sponsibility for enforcement of that respective code or ordinance. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14-98) Sec. 2 -69. Enforcement procedure. (a) An employee of the town who is duly au- thorized by the town manager and responsible for the enforcement of such ordinances, hereinafter referred to as a "code enforcement officer," may initiate code enforcement proceedings and issue citations or notices of violation to a person or persons to appear in front of the special master � 2 -69 when the code enforcement officer, upon personal investigation, has reasonable cause to believe that the person or persons are in violation of the codes cited in this division. Employees who may be designated as code enforcement officers may include but are not limited to, code inspectors, law enforcement officers, public works inspectors, fire safety inspectors, and zoning inspectors. (b) If a violation of the codes is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator, unless subsec- tion (c) below applies, and give such violator a reasonable time, which shall not exceed 30 days, to correct the violation. Should the violation con- tinue beyond the time specified for correction, the code inspector shall notify the special master and request a hearing. The special master shall sched- ule a hearing, and written notice of such hearing shall be hand delivered or mailed as provided in section 2 -75 to the violator. At the option of the special master, notice may additionally be served by publication or posting as provided in section 2 -75. If the violation is corrected and then recurs or if the violation is not corrected by the time specified for correction by the code inspector, the case may be presented to the special master even if the violation has been corrected prior to the special master hearing, the notice shall so state. (c) If a repeat violation is found, the code inspector shall notify the violator but is not in- quired to give the violator a reasonable time to correct the violation. The code inspector, upon notifying the violator of a repeat violation, shall notify the special master and request a hearing. The special master shall schedule a hearing and shall provide notice pursuant to section 2 -75. The case may be presented to the special master even if the repeat violation has been corrected prior to the hearing, and the notice shall so state. If the repeat violation has been corrected, the special master retains the right to schedule a hearing to determine costs and impose the payment of rea- sonable enforcement fees upon the repeat viola- tor. The repeat violator may choose to waive his or her rights to this hearing and pay the costs as determined by the special master. A repeat viola- tion is a violation of a provision of a code or ordinance by a person whom the special master has previously found to have violated the same provision within five years prior to the violation. CD2:5 § 2 -69 GULF STREAM CODE (d) If the code inspector has reason to believe a violation of the condition causing the violation presents a serious threat to the public health, safety, and welfare or if the violation is irrepara- ble or irreversible in nature, the code inspector shall make a reasonable effort to notify the viola- tor and may immediately notify the special mas- ter and request a hearing. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -70. Conduct of hearings. (a) At the hearing, the burden of proof shall be upon the town to show by substantial competent evidence that a violation did occur or does exist, or has been repeated. Assuming proper notice of hearing has been given to the respondent, either as actual notice or as provided herein, a hearing may proceed in the absence of the respondent. (b) All testimony shall be under oath and shall be recorded. The formal rules of evidence shall not apply. Irrelevant, immaterial and unduly repeti- tious evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonable prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs shall be admissible, whether or not such evidence would be admissible at a trial in the courts of the state. Documentary and physical evidence may be admitted. (c) The special master may inquire of any witness who is testifying before him/her. The respondent, or his attorney and the town attorney and his/her designee shall be permitted to inquire of any witness before the special master. The special master may call any witness deemed nec- essary to provide a full and fair hearing of the case. (d) At the conclusion of the hearing, the spe- cial master shall issue findings of fact based on evidence on the record and conclusions of law, and shall issue an order affording the proper relief consistent with the powers granted herein. The order shall be stated orally at the meeting, and shall be reduced to writing and mailed to the alleged violator within ten working days after the hearing. The order may include a notice that it must be complied with by a specified date and that a fine, as well as the cost of repairs, may be imposed if the order is not complied with by such date. A certified copy of such order may be re- corded in the public records of the county and shall constitute notice to any subsequent purchas- ers, successors in interest, or assigns if the viola- tion concerns real property, and the findings therein shall be binding upon the violator and, if the violation concerns real property, any subsequent purchasers or successors in interest or assigns. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -71. Powers. The special master shall have the power to: (1) Adopt rules for the conduct of his/her meetings and hearings. (2) Subpoena alleged violators and witnesses to his/her hearings. (3) Subpoena evidence as necessary for his/ her hearings, including, but not limited to physical and documentary evidence such as records, surveys, plats and photo- graphs. (4) Take testimony under oath. (5) Issue orders having the force and effect of law which can command whatever steps are necessary to bring a violation into compliance, such decision to be made at the hearing and reduced to writing and mailed to the respondent(s) within ten working days thereafter. (6) Establish and enforce fines pursuant to section 2 -72. (7) Authorize the town attorney to foreclose on liens imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 which remain unpaid after a period of three months. (8) Authorize the reduction of any fine he/she has imposed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -72. Administrative fines, costs of re- pair; liens. (a) The special master, upon notification by the code inspector that an order of the special master has not been complied with by the set time or, upon finding that a repeat violation has been committed, may order the violator to pay a fine in an amount specified in this section for each day CD2:6 " " r�� " " the violation continues past the date set by the special master for compliance or, in the case of a repeat violation, for each day the repeat violation continues, beginning with the date the repeat violation is found to have occurred by the special master. In addition, if the violation is a violation described in subsection 2 -69(d) of this division, the special master shall notify the local governing body, which may make all reasonable repairs which are required to bring the property into compliance and charge the violator with the rea- sonable cost of the repairs along with the fine imposed pursuant to this section. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has been made as provided in this section, a hearing shall not be necessary for issuance of the order imposing the fine. If, after due notice and hearing, a special master finds a violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may order the violator to pay a fine as specified in subsection (b), below. (b) A fine imposed pursuant to this section shall not exceed $250.00 per day for a first viola- tion, and shall not exceed $500.00 per day for a repeat violation, and, in addition may include all costs of repairs pursuant to subsection (a), above. However, if the special master finds the violation to be irreparable or irreversible in nature, it may impose a fine not to exceed $5,000.00 per viola- tion. (c) In determining the amount of the fine, if any, the special master shall consider the follow- ing factors: (1) The gravity of the violation; (2) Any actions taken by the violator to cor- rect the violation; and (3) Any previous violations committed by the violator. (d) A certified copy of an order imposing a fine may be recorded in the public record and thereaf- ter shall constitute a lien against the land on which the violation exists, and upon any other real or personal property owned by the violator. Upon petition to the circuit court, such order may be enforced in the same manner as a court judg- ment by the sheriffs of this state, including levy against the personal property, but such order shall not be deemed to be a court judgment except � 2 -74 for enforcement purposes. A fine imposed pursu- ant to this section shall continue to accrue until the violator comes into compliance or until a judgment is rendered in a suit to foreclose on a lien filed pursuant to this section, whichever occurs first. A lien arising from a fine imposed pursuant to this section runs in favor of the town and the town may execute a satisfaction or re- lease of a lien entered pursuant to this section. After three months from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the town may authorize the town attorney to foreclose on the lien. No lien created pursuant to the provisions of this section may be foreclosed on real property which is a homestead under Section 4, Article X of the State Constitution. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14-98) Sec. 2 -73. Duration. No lien provided under this division shall con- tinue for a period longer than 20 years after the certified copy of an order imposing a fine has been recorded, unless within that time an action to foreclose on the lien is commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction. In an action to foreclose on a lien, the prevailing party is entitled to recover all costs, including a reasonable attorney's fee, that it incurs in the foreclosures. The town shall be entitled to collect all costs incurred in recording and satisfying a valid lien. The contin- uation of the lien effected by the commencement of the action shall not be good against creditors or subsequent purchasers for valuable consideration without notice, unless a notice of lis pendens is recorded. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14-98) Sec. 2 -74. Appeals. An aggrieved party, including the town, may appeal a final administrative order of the special master to the circuit court of Palm Beach County, Florida. Such an appeal shall not be a hearing de novo, but shall be limited to appellate review of the record created before the special master. The appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execu- tion of the order to be appealed. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14-98) CD2:7 § 2 -75 Sec. 2 -75. Notices. GULF STREAM CODE (a) All notices required by this section shall be provided to the alleged violator by certified mail, return receipt requested; by hand delivery by the sheriff or other law enforcement officer, code inspector, or other person designated by the local governing body; or by leaving the notice at the violator's usual place of residence with any person residing therein who is above 15 years of age and informing such person of the contents of the notice. (b) In addition to providing notice as set forth in this section, at the option of the special master, notice may also be served by publication or post- ing, as follows: (1) Such notice shall be published once dur- ing each week for four consecutive weeks (four publications being sufficient) in a newspaper of general circulation in Palm Beach County, Florida.

(4) Proof of posting shall be by affidavit of the person posting the notice, which affidavit shall include a copy of the notice posted and the date and places of its posting. (c) Notice by publication or posting may run concurrently with, or may follow, an attempt or attempts to provide notice by hand delivery or by mail as required under this section. (d) Evidence that an attempt has been made to hand deliver or mail notice as provided in this section, together with proof of publication or post- ing as provided in this section shall be sufficient to show that the notice requirements of this section have been met, without regard to whether or not the alleged violator actually received such notice. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2 -76. Procedure to request that a fine or lien imposed pursuant to sec- tion 2 -72 be reduced; conditions and criteria therefor. (a) The owner of real property against which a fine or lien has been imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 may apply to the special master, through the town attorney or his/her designee, for a satisfac- tion of the fine or lien with less than full payment thereof. No such application shall be considered by the special master until the applicant has first shown that: (1) All ad valorem property taxes, special assessments, town utility charges and other government- imposed liens against the sub- ject real property have been paid. (2) The applicant is not personally indebted to the town for any reason. (3) All town code violations have been cor- rected under necessary permits issued therefor. (b) In considering an application to reduce a fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72, no satisfaction thereof shall be approved by the spe- cial master with less than full payment thereof, unless the special master shall make a specific finding that no violation of any ordinance de- scribed in section 2 -68 of this Code exists on the subject real property. (c) The balance of any fine or lien imposed pursuant to section 2 -72 that is reduced by the special master shall be paid on such terms as approved by the special master. (d) If the property for which an application for a fine reduction is being considered is owned by a government or quasi - government entity, the spe- cial master may reduce such fine even if the violation has not been corrected. (Ord. No. 98 -3, § 1, 5- 14 -98) CD2:8 " ADMINLSIRAI'ION Sec. 2 -77. Provisions supplemental and cu- mulative.

This division shall be construed to be supplemental and cumulative with any and all other remedies available to the town and not exclusive. (Ord. No. 98 -3, � 1, 5- 14 -98) Sec. 2.78. Alternative code enforcement pro- cedures. The town may employ other methods of code enforcement including, but not limited to, the issuance of a notice to appear in county court or arrest for violation of municipal ordinances as provided for in F.S. ch. 901.

Aminta Culmer Administrative Assistant URBAN DESIGN STUDIO aculmer(a)UDSonli ne.com 561.366.1100 1/29/2007 INDEPENDENT ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW & PLANNING REPORT for the TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA January 25, 2007 Subject: Review of Color Selection for Compliance Applicant: Town of Gulf Stream 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, FL 33483 Applicant Request: Urban Design Urban Planning Land Planning Landscape Architecture As requested by the Town of Gulf Stream, Urban Design Studio conducted a site visit on January 24, 2007 to 3032 Gulf Stream Road to prepare an independent evaluation for conformity of color, with the town's code of ordinances. Urban Design Studio is also in receipt of the certified letter from the homeowner dated January 18, 2007, and has reviewed its content. Considerations: The following regulations have been reviewed to provide direction for the existing conditions of the subject door color. 1) Chapter 70, Article V, Section 70 -106 Color, (d) Accent, (1 and 2) Considerations and Definitions 2) Chapter 70, Article V, Section 70 -106 Color, (I) Prohibited Findings: As indicated on the attached photographs taken January 24, 2007, the front door has been painted a "bright pink" color. Upon further comparison with the Benjamin Moore paint chart, the closest color match was identified as "rosy blush ". Therefore, based upon the paint chart comparisons, the selected door color is not characteristic of existing trim accent colors or permitted in the town described within Section 70 -106.

"Accent color shall refer to the color application to any or all building accents such as shutters, doors, and awnings. Accent colors are not subject to approved colors, but may not include all shades of purple, primary red (except doors), or florescent colors. (i) Prohibited: Purples, red (except doors), florescent colors, and substantially bright colors (such as: magenta, lime green, bright pink, bright orange), as trim or accent. It is Urban Design Studio's finding that bright pink is clearly and specifically called out as prohibited as an accent door color. Recommendations: The homeowner needs to bring the door color into compliance with the Town of Gulf Stream Code of Ordinances by selecting a color that is in keeping with the definition of "Accent Color" as outlined in Section 70 -106 (d)(1 and 2). cc: Bill Thrasher, Town Manager, Town of Gulf Stream (via email) G- NuWGulf Stream Town ofArchitecture ReviewWrch.
