/ SPECIAL ADVERTISED MEETING TO ADOPT A FINAL BUDGET AND
< MILLAGE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1981 -82
PRESENT: WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR. MAYOR
JOAN S. LAPORTE VICE MAYOR
JOEL HUNTER COMMISSIONER
ROBERT J. DIXSON COMMISSIONER
ABSENT: ALAN I. ARMOUR COMMISSIONER
Also attending: Manager William E. Gwynn; Town Clerk Ba.rba.ra Gwynn;
Assistant to Clerk Laurie Hatton; Brian Pfeifler; Mr. Souder; Mr. Eaton;
Mr. Bettison.
Mayor Koch called the meeting to order at 9:00 A.M. He explained that
this Special Advertised Meeting was being held in order for Gulf Stream
residents to express their opinions concerning the 1981 -82 Budget.
Manager Gwynn rea.d Resolution #81 -10. The Commission, after a general
discussion, decided that this resolution, which concerns the millage,
should be voted on after the budget ha.s been discussed and resolution
concerning the budget had been approved by the Commission.
Manager Gwynn then rea.d Resolution #81 -10 as corrected in number only.
Commissioner Hunter objected to this resolution as read. His objection
wa.s to the wording "a.nd authorizing a pro rata share of General Fund
expenses to be borne by the Water Fund for said fiscal year termination
of September 30, 1982 ", and instructed tha.t the wording of this resolu-
tion be changed to "net revenue from the Water Fund be appropria.ted to
the Genera.l Fund, etc." He also instructed Manager Gwynn to elimina.te
the third paragraph. Vice Mayor LaPorte noted that there was a contin-
gency fund of $2,800 in the budget for the Water Fund. Since the
Commission had previously stated that they were opposed to any contin-
gency funds, it was moved that this amount be deleted from the Water
Fund Budget. Motion seconded and passed.
The Mayor then asked those in attendance if they had anything they wanted
to say concerning the budget. Mr Pfeifler stated he would like to see
the millage at 6 mills; he was asked for suggestions. Vice Mayor LaPorte
observed that it might be appropriate to compare certain of our budget
items and particularly the millage of other communities, noting
particularly our salary budget. Commissioner Hunter stated that the
real problem concerning money is the Police Department. Commissioner
Dixson sta.ted, "Any attempt to reduce the Police Department's budget
would be a retrogressive step and it would have the effect of defeating
the efforts that have been applied over the past six months to provide
the community with the kind and character of the Police Department,
police coverage which will provide to the best of the Police Department's
ability, the security of both person and property in the community and,

of course, as he explained at the original budget meeting, first budget
meeting, in great detail, the record now speaks for itself and I want
to stress the point that if anything is done to the Police Department
budget to achieve a substantial contribution to the reduction of the
millage, it will be a clear retrogressive and counter productive step ".
Commissioner Hunter stated he agreed with the present budget, but
insisted that the record show that this budget is a matter of opinion,
and that it is the collective opinion of this group, and is based on
the advice and opinions of the Police Commissioner and Police Chief.
He also stated that when this budget is adopted, we must live with it.
The Commission agreed. Mayor Koch observed that all departments should
endeavor to expend monies less than those budgeted, and should savings
thereby be obtained, such might be carried over to next years budget.
Vice Mayor LaPorte moved that Resolution #81 -10 be accepted; Commissioner
Dixson seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously. The following
titled Resolution #81 -10 is the corrected version, and is a part of
these Minutes.

The Final Budget was approved October 10, 1981. The Commission worked
diligently in order to reduce taxes and were able to decrease the
original 7.0218 millage to 5.7123 millage.
NG ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS
The Town Commission took important action during April of the current
year when it appointed a Zoning Ordinance Study Committee composed of
a member of the Commission, the Chairman of the Town Planning
Committee and an exceptionally qualified resident of the Town. The
Committee was supported in its work by the Town Attorney, and the
President of Executive Management Consultants. The work of the
Committee entailed a study and review of the Town's zoning ordinances
and related Town laws.
The objectives which the Committee sought to achieve through its work
was to insure the protection and preservation of the Town of Gulf
Stream with regard to:
(a) Its traditional profile and character;
(b) The protection of property values; and
(c) To recommend necessary measures for the
improvement of the Town's zoning ordinances
in order to achieve these objectives.
The Committee met in public hearings on many occasions. As a result
of its efforts, the Committee recommended to the Commission
Ordinance #81 -4 which contains various amendments to existing
Ordinance #108, which first became effective in 1952. Several
specific amendments to the latter were subsequently adopted of a
noncomprehensive nature in 1973 -74. At the October meeting of the
Page 2
Town Commission, (with the Town Commission's prior approval), a first
reading was had of these amendments.
The Commission is confident that these amendments will be enthusias-
tically received by the residents and property owners of the Town of
Gulf Stream. They represent numerous beneficial provisions which
will promote the health, safety and welfare of those who inhabit the
Town of Gulf Stream as well as secure property values for the fore-
seeable future. The proposed amendments represent the completion of
the first phase of a continuing study and review of the Town's
relevant ordinances.
The second and final reading of the proposed Ordinance #81 -4 and
action for its adoption is scheduled for the January meeting of the
Town Commission to be held the 8th day of January, 1982. In the
meantime, interested residents and property owners of the Town may
review proposed Ordinance #81 -4 at the Town Hall at their convenience
during business hours of the Town, Monday through Friday, from
9:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.
TIME SHARING
chje of the several amendments will prohibit "time- sharing ", a growing
practice in Florida and elsewhere, and which had caused concern among
property owners and the Commission.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The crime rate decreased in Gulf Stream due to citizen participation
in Crime Watch. Any suspicious persons, automobiles, telephone calls -
anything suspicious, do not hesitate to contact CDC (Emergency No. 911,
Non - Emergency No. 392- 3100). Approval was given by the Town Commission
for eight crime watch signs to be placed in various locations in the
Town.
The Police Department has requested that residents place their house
numbers where they can be seen by the officers. This will enable
the officers, in case of emergency, to quickly locate a resident's
home.
The Department has also requested that residents come in for the blue
stickers for their automobiles. The Police Department will need a
copy of the vehicle registration in order to issue the sticker.

RESOLUTION 81-14 - 911 SYSTEM
On November 13, 1981, the Town Commission adopted Resolution #81 -14
which pertains to the 911 System. This is a Mutual Aid Agreement
between Palm Beach County and municipalities whereby, effective
December 15, 1981, any resident who needs the assistance of the
Police Department shall call the number 911. This is a direct
service into CDC, which, when called, will light up your name,
telephone number and address on a Board. If the person placing the
call were unable to speak due to an illness, an officer would be
dispatched to the address promptly. This system will enable a more
prompt service from the Police Department. The 911 number should be
used only in emergency; 392 -3100 should be used for nonemergency uses.
ALARM ORDINANCE - 81 -1
The Alarm Ordinance will go into effect January 1, 1982. Each
resident is required to obtain an application and permit from the
Police Department for the installation of a new alarm system.
There is a $10.00 fee for this permit. Residents already having an
alarm system in their home will also need to fill out a Police
Department form stating the name of their alarm company and person
to contact in case of trouble.
SANITATION DEPARTMENT
In order for the Town's millage to be reduced, a new garbage contract
was made. Garbage pickup for Gulf Stream east of the intracoastal
is Tuesdays and Saturdays, while garbage pickup for west of the
intracoastal (Place Au Soleil) is Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Trash pickup, which has remained the same, is as follows;
Ocean Blvd. - Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, P.M.; Place Au Soleil-
Wednesdays, P.M.; all side streets - Thursdays; Gulf Stream Road and
Polo Drive - Fridays.
WATER DEPARTMENT
Water restrictions have been lifted, however, it may be but a very
short time until they are back in effect. We urge discretionary
and careful usage, and thank the residents of Gulf Stream for their
cooperation and continuing effort to conserve water consumption.

BUILDING DEPARTMENT
Please be reminded that any resident who is building, remodeling or
making any additions to their home, should come to the Town Hall for
a Building Permit. Please make sure that whoever you hire is
licensed and insured in the Town of Gulf Stream.
DUAL TAXATION
Along with other communities, the Town Commission approved
Resolution #81 -13 objecting to Dual Taxation, and sent a copy of
the Resolution to the Palm Beach County Commission. Dual Taxation
is paying double for services you are presently receiving in Town,
i.e. Sheriff's patrol, construction maintenance of neighborhood
parks, road maintenance and repair, etc.
FLOOD INSURANCE MEETING
A Flood Insurance Meeting was held by members of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency along with members of the Town

preliminary map is now in the Town Hall for review by the residents.

JOINT COMMISSION AND
PLANNING BOARD MEETING
OCTOBER 22, 1981
PRESENT: WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR. MAYOR
JOAN S. LAPORTE VICE MAYOR
JOEL HUNTER COMMISSIONER
ROBERT J. DIXSON COMMISSIONER
ABSENT: ALAN I. ARMOUR COMMISSIONER
Also attending: Town Manager William Gwynn; Town Clerk Barbara Gwynn;
Attorney John Randolph; Gene Caputo; Brian Pfeifler;
Charles Wanio and William Mayer.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Koch at 9:00 A.M. He informed the
meeting that this was a public hearing of a joint meeting of the Town Commission
and Planning Commission to review and decide for a first reading various proposed
zoning ordinance changes.
The Commission and Planning Board proceeded to discuss the ordinance in detail.
It was agreed that Section 1, B would be amended to read as follows:
"Clubs - Organizations, which are privately owned and operated
by their members and not operated for profit which maintain
recreational and athletic facilities for the exclusive use of
its members and their guests and uses as necessary and incidental
accessories thereto ".
(It was pointed out by Commissioner Dixson that such function and operation as
pro shops, caddy houses, cart storage, garages, maintenance sheds and buildings
and the like were intended to be included in the last clause "uses as necessary
and incidental accessories thereto ".)
After full discussion of Section I, C, 1, 2 & 3, it was agreed that there would
be no specified period of time in "time- sharing" and that the phrasing of the
language would be written by Attorney John Ranoulrh. It was pointed out by
Town Clerk Barbara Gwynn that there were no motel, hotel, rooms or apatcments
pertaining to Section 1, C, 1 & 2. It was agreed that such phrasing be deleted
from the zoning ordinance.
In Section 3, E, F & G, it was agreed that the setbacks would be revised as follows:
1. Front yard - 25% of the depth of the lot, or 25', whichever is
greater, and a width of not less than 100' fronting
on a street, road, avenue or the Atlantic Ocean.
2. Side yard - 15% of the width of the lot, or 15', whichever is greater.
3. Rear yard - 15% of the depth of the lot, or 151, whichever is greater.

Commissioner Dixson then voiced his opinion concerning the 78' setback from
the center of AIA. He felt there should be a reference back so there would
not be inconsistencies between that setback provision contained in Chapter 9,
Section 9 -1A, and the zoning ordinance provisions. It was decided that
portion concerning the 78' setback on AlA and from the center line thereof
be referenced to the zoning ordinance to show a required 78' setback of 25%
of the depth of the lot, whichever is greater, for properties fronting on AlA.
Mayor Koch stated that further changes which are contemplated in the zoning
ordinance, must protect the Town against unacceptable results from subdividing
large properties, particularly those on AIA and the Atlantic Ocean.
The meeting reviewed Section 5 at considerable length particularly referring
to the provisions regarding setbacks and heignth. After such discussion, the
following conclusions were unanimously decided.
A. As a general guide, side and rear line setbacks should
relate to the height of the building. However, it was
concluded that the following provisions would meet
such desirable restrictions.
1. The front yard building setback would be required
at 50' and subject to the requirements contained
in Section 9, lA of the Town Ordinance.
2. The side line building setback would be established
at 25' or 2S% of the width of the lot, whichever is
greater. The same provision would apply to the rear
line building setbacks with regard to the maximum
height of a multi -story building. The highest a
building can be erected is four (4) stories, with a
maximum not exceeding 50' in overall height.
It was further agreed that Section 7, Outdoor Recreational District, would
conform with the apartment setback rulings and that the height requirement
would be the same.
The Commission then discussed the matter of signs. Mayor Koch said there should
be a maximum size for signs and if a larger one was needed, a variance could be
requested. He stated that he wanted to include in the zoning ordinance that
after property is sold, the real estate sign should be removed. The meeting
concluded that no sign permitted shall exceed two square feet pursuant to
Section 6, G, C, c 1, 2 & d. It was further decided that signs designating
and naming clubs and schools should be limited to six (6) square feet in total.

The meeting noted again that a revised zoning map as required by the Town's
resolution of March 23, 1973, and which provision for such map was overlooked
in the future land use map revised March, 1979, would require correction. This,
it was concluded, would be done and the new corrected map be attached to the
revised ordinance. Mr. Gene Caputo informed the meeting that the map would be
ready at the time of final adoption of the revised zoning ordinance.
There being no further questions or comments, meeting adjourned, 10:40 A.M.
Barbara Gwynn, Towh Clerk
