There was a detailed discussion regarding the exact dimensions.
Mr. O'Boyle made several inquiries regarding the gate from AlA. He questioned how far the gate would be
from the center line of AlA. Mr. O'Boyle inquired regarding height of the home and the eve height. He also
questioned if the entrance feature was a variance.

said that more than three (3) discouraged elements can deny the application, and that there are no variances
on this application.
Mr. O'Boyle further inquired regarding the front entrance gate's possible violation, in that he believed it

Mr. Schreier thanked the staff for all their work. He stated that they have always been very helpful and have

Mayor Orthwein asked for any questions from the public. There were none.
Commissioner Stanley commented on the lovely structure, and discussed how he did not see, at this time, that
the roof would be approved, due to the changes in the code. He further stated that the roof did not look bad.
Commissioner Ganger said that to deny a beautiful home because it isn't in the code does not sound like the
Town of Gulf Stream. This should be resolved to the satisfaction of the client, the Town, and the neighbors
who are affected. Commissioner Ganger inquired if any residents, other than Mr. O'Boyle, who is not directly
affected, commented on this design /project.
C , Town Clerk Taylor stated that notices were sent to all neighboring residents and sometimes they respond, but
there was no comment on this application.
Town Counsel Randolph stated that the Commission should re -visit this matter, as the Architectural Review
and Planning Board suggested. He also said that it was up to the applicant to work within the code, as it
exists today, and come back with another plan. Town Counsel Randolph further stated that the applicant can
wait and bank on the code being changed, or come back and present this again. Mr. Randolph also said that
he thought the client's responses to these issues should not be determined at this meeting today.

appropriateness to the neighborhood.
C Town Counsel Randolph explained the requirements that had to still be presented to the Commission. He

Town Commission Meeting

would be removed during the normal process. Mrs. Himmelrich stated that the view has been altered already.
She requested a better landscaping plan. She addressed her present privacy issues.
Commissioner Ganger inquired if the Himmelriches and MacDonalds were collaboratively treating the ficus
hedge for white fly issues.
CMrs. Himmelrich said they were personally treating their ficus hedge. She said it was imperative that the new
owners treat their own also.
Mr. Himmeltich suggested Mr. Randolph check into the 1964 original deed before their permit is granted, and
he inquired if there had been a Title Search.
Mayor Orthwein reported that the survey was done February 13'h.
Commissioner Stanley stated that the Town did not have the Title Search.
Mr. Himmeltch said that he had one in his possession.
Mr. Pike discussed the drainage system in detail. He also said that the hedges may have to be adjusted during
construction.
Mr. Himmelrich said that a buffer and site screen are very important.
Commissioner Stanley inquired with regard to changes and subdivision amendments to the Town's code, and
questioned if it would be appropriate to approve today, or to defer it.
Town Counsel Randolph stated that if you can define what you are looking for today, you can impose those
conditions today. He further stated that if you are not sure of where you are going with it, you can defer until
you have further information from Staff. Mr. Randolph stated that it sounds like what you are asking for are
assurances of various issues that should be addressed and satisfied before any approval is made.
Commissioner Ganger stated with regard to drainage, that there is considerable responsibility to be assumed
when a storm hits.
CMr. Himmelrich stated that a drainage agreement must be mutually acceptable, ahead of time, and not at his
expense.
Commissioner Stanley said that there were a couple of issues present, i.e. landscape buffer and drainage
agreement. He further stated these items would have to be more defined, and he felt that the Commission
was not prepared for final approval.
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing
Town Commission Meeting
April 12, 2013 — Page 7
Commissioner Dering suggested the Himmelrichs get together with the developer, and figure out what is
mutually acceptable to both parties and return to Town Hall.
Mr. Pike described the drainage guidelines and explained that the developer will follow South Florida
requirements, and will meet with the Himmehiches.
Town Manager Thrasher stated that in his opinion they were exceeding the Town's code.
Commissioner Stanley stated that they have broad conditions of approval with what occurred this day.
Town Counsel Randolph stated that it would be perfectly appropriate if the Commission wished to defer to
attempt to see if a resolution could come between the applicant and the neighbors, with regard to the issues
raised this day. He did not think it's appropriate for the Commission to make a condition of approval subject
to the neighbor's approval. Town Counsel continued that they cannot do that because you never know if you
are going to get approval. The Commission is bound by what's in the code which provides, along with the
South Florida Water Management District, what must be retained on the property. Therefore, the
Commission must make a determination as to whether they meet those conditions. He also discussed
buffering so that others are not viewing the construction on a subdivision. He said that the motion should
include that the applicant comply with all requirements from the South Florida Water Management District,
provide the appropriate maintenance provisions for the system, and provide for the adequate buffering from
the neighbors, as requested here this day.
Mr. O'Boyle inquired whether the developer had a survey.
Mayor Orthwein stated that there was a survey.
Mr. O'Boyle inquired regarding the access to the three (3) lots, and the internal road.
Town Manager Thrasher replied that there were existing accesses to the three (3) properties.
Mr. Wietsma discussed and displayed diagrams with regard to the accesses to the property.
Mayor Orthwein inquired if there was permission given for access.
Town Counsel Randolph stated the Town has surveys presented by the applicant and reviews them from the
basis of the professionals that provided them. The Town does not have the staff, or the time, to do a title
search for every property that comes before them. He continued that the Town relies on the applicants, as
presented. There are people who challenge whether a survey is appropriate or not. They can do that. The
Town does its due diligence, but it does not go to the point of doing a title search for every application that
comes before them.
Mr. O'Boyle said that he would not want his sister to buy one of the lots that did not have access.
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing
Town Commission Meeting
April 12, 2013 — Page 8
Commissioner Stanley inquired if there were any other public comments.
Mayor Orthwein agreed that Town Hall should not do title searches.
CCommissioner Dering inquired regarding how this moves forward.
Town Counsel Randolph stated that this request can be deferred. He also said the Town can ask them to
present a Declaration of Use Agreement which incorporates a description of the buffer and the fact that the
buffer will be maintained in perpetuity.
Commissioner Dering stated that the Town has to do something in that matter.
Town Manager Thrasher inquired from the homeowner and Agents if they would like to have this issue
deferred.
Mr. Wietsma replied that they would not like this to be deferred, and he requested the conditions of approval
to be completed, as there is still a lot of work to be done.
Commissioner Ganger moved and Commissioner Stanley seconded to defer any decisions to the next
Commission Meeting on May 10, 2013, with specifically the issue of landscaping and drainage being the
subjects of discussion. All vote AYE.

that they would never put anything directly up in Town. Mr. Stevens discussed the issues of lack of service,
during an emergency or downed lines.
Commissioner Ganger inquired regarding locations for these towers.

Commissioner Stanley questioned if they know how many AT &T customers there are in this area.
