Dear Custodian of Records for Urban Design Kilday Studios,

Any emails between Marty Minor and Ben Schrerier in 2013 related to the Town of Gulf Stream.
If you contend that any of the records I am seeking, or any portion thereof, are exempt from inspection or disclosure
please cite the specific exemption as required by §119.07(1)(e) of the Florida Statutes and state in writing and with
particularity the basis for your conclusions as required by §119.07(1)(0 of the Florida Statutes.
Please take note of §119.07(c) Florida Statues and your affirmative obligation to (1) promptly acknowledge receipt of this
public records request and (2) make a good faith effort which "includes making reasonable efforts to determine from
other officers or employees within your agency whether such a record exists and, if so, the location at which the record
can be accessed." I am, therefore, requesting that you notify every individual in possession of records that may be
responsive to this public records request to preserve all such records on an immediate basis.
If any records are readily available, please produce those records first without waiting for all responsive records to be

If the public records being sought are maintained by your agency in an electronic format please produce the records in
the original electronic format in which they were created or received. See §119.01(2)(f), Florida Statutes.
If you anticipate the production of any of these public records to exceed $1.00 please notify me in advance of their

And we need cad drawings. See Marty's email concerning CAD drawings.

Bill,
Yes, it would require a variance.
For the rear elevation, it certainly looks close. We would need to have a CAD drawing of the elevation to truly confirm.
It looks like they are including area above the "bottom of the eave" limit for the wall area calculations.

Would the application be a variance? It seems that the code allows the ARPB and Commission to review "grey types ",
but not terra cotta. If you agree, it seems it would be a variance application as something prohibited.
Also, I want you to calculate the window pane coverage on the rear. To our eye, it seems over the limit allowed.

Sorry for the delay in responding to this.
Section 70 -238 of the Town Code allows for Benjamin to request for a terra cotta colored slate -like tile. The Town
Commission will have to consider the colored tile and determine whether it is appropriate for the neighborhood.
I think Ben would need to make a stronger case that Georgian homes with a terra cotta roof is "appropriate for the
neighborhood" and not that it has been done somewhere up north.
Just my thoughts.

Thank you for reviewing the home design for 3211 North Ocean Boulevard today.
Following are some items which were discussed and which further information was requested:
1) Regarding the amount of window opening on the east elevation, attached is a pdf demonstrating the area
calculations for determining the total window opening area on the elevation.
2) Regarding the use of a terra cotta colored flat roof tile with dark hunter green shutters for a Georgian style
home: Terra cotta color roof tiles have been used in Georgian style buildings in many instances as is
demonstrated by the photos below and the attached jpg files. Therefore it is consistent with the architectural
style of the home designed. Because the design style is a preferred style for the district, and is in accordance
with the historical precedent of Georgian buildings with a terra cotta colored roof, it is consistant with the Town
of Gulf Stream Land Development Regulations and should not require a variance in order to have a terra cotta
colored roof.
3) Section 70 -238 of the Town of Gulf Stream Land Development Regulations states: "Flat, gray thru and thru, un-
coated tile or slate -like tile may be permitted at the discretion of architectural review and planning board and
the town commission making a determination that such alternatives are appropriate for the neighborhood." The
proposed terra -cotta tile is similar in color to a real terra -cotta colored slate roof tile (sample can be provided if
needed). The language this section says "slate - like ", it does not say "gray slate - like ".
4) Please note, There is an oceanfront home which is not Spanish Mediterranean a few doors north of 3211 North
Ocean at 3421 North ocean which has a terra cotta colored flat concrete tile roof. Therefore there appears to be
precedent in Gulf Stream for use of a red roof on a non - Mediterranean style home. Additionally, another
home at 3545 North Ocean Blvd on the ocean has a green colored roof which is not allowed in the Land
Development Regulations. Therefore if the variance process is pursued to achieve a terra cotta color roof,
another precedent for a non — white or slate colored roof exists on the ocean.
Thank you again for taking the time to review the project. We and our client are excited to design and build this home in
the community.
Thank you,
Benjamin Schreier
