JAMES GREER
PLEASE BE ADVISED OF THE FOLLOWING VARIANCES
We have noted that we must address three variances
regarding the request from the Gulf Stream School to
move a "Polo Cottage" on the Gulf Stream School Grounds.
1. A request to place a "Polo Cottage" for historical
preservation and faculty housing.
2. Request to reduce the Front -yard setback requirement
from the required (78') to (58') from the center of
SR AlA.
3. Minimum square footage of the "Polo Cottage" is less
than the required (3,000) square feet.
Pursuant to Section VII R.S. Residential Single - Family
District J -1, N -1 and H -1. Gulf Stream Code of Ordinances.
This request will come before the Planning and Zoning

THOMAS M. WOODWARD. JR
HEADMASTER
To: Town of Gulf Stream
From: Gulf Stream School Foundation, Inc.
Subject: Application for Variance
Project Name: "Moving of house - departure from Code re: Agreement"
Date: May 12, 1989
Gulf Stream School requests a variance from the existing Code
concerning the matter of "no more buildings to be constructed on the
School grounds."
The School proposes to move a small wood -frame "polo cottage" from
its existing location at the corner of Banyan Road and SR AIA to a
location beside its sports field and fronting AIA. The house is being
donated to the School and would be used as a teacher residence only.
Background: About four years ago when the School proposed to
construct a new auditorium /chapel building, it secured the permission of
the Town of Gulf Stream to do so provided (1) that an existing wooden
building (used as a classroom building) be razed and (2) that no other
new school buildings be constructed. The School is happy with this
arrangement and has no desire or plans to "enlarge the student body."
(In fact, present facilities are at capacity to service the needs of
existing students.) This agreement was formulated into the Town Code
for future reference.
The School bases its request for a Variance on the following
reasons:
1. This does not involve new construction.
2. It is not a school building. It is a small residence.
Students will not be using it.
3. The building is an historical "polo cottage," an original, as
judged by Mr. Clemmer Mayhew of the Delray Historical Society.
Not many such buildings now exist. This is a step in
preservation.
4. Placement of the house in this location is both reasonable and
appropriate. There are no other practical places to put
faculty housing of this type on the campus. It is also
suitable in terms of concept. Gulf Stream became the center
for polo in the Southeastern United States in the 193O's and
GULF STREAM SCHOOL • 3600 GULF STREAM ROAD • GULF STREAM, FLORIDA 33483 • 276 - -l-F
page 2
194O's. The School was built on land leased to it originally
by the Phipps family and on which land national polo matches
were played. For years, the School operated its classes in
converted stables on this site. The preserving of a polo
cottage would be historically and reasonably consistent with
the area's history.
5. This small, wood -frame cottage, which has only two bedrooms and
amounts to less than 1,500 square feet, is low -lying and
attractive. It will blend -in well with the surroundings; and
after its placement, the building will be thoroughly
landscaped. It will utilize the same, existing driveway which
services the small, and similar (and non - conforming -use) house
to the north.
6. Probably for the next ten years at least, the house will be
lived in by a single person, a long- tenured teacher at the
School. There would be no increase in traffic as this person
would park outside the cottage and walk to work rather than
using existing School parking space. Said person would act as
a security check and fire warden, both at the School and
indirectly for this part of the Town for much or all of the
summer as well as winter months.
Matter relating to building and sanitary codes are referred to in
the second Variance Application which accompanies this document.
Sincerely,
Thomas M. Woodward, Jr.
Headmaster, for the Hoard of Trustees

To: Town of Gulf Stream
From: Gulf Stream School Foundation, Inc.
Project Name: "Moving of small house" -- from 3452 N. Ocean
Blvd. to Gulf Stream School property, to a location
approximating 3650 N. Ocean Blvd., on SR AlA.
Date: May 12, 1989
Gulf Stream School Foundation, Inc., petitions the Town of Gulf
Stream for a variance from the existing Code regarding setback
requirements for the moving and placing off an existing house from its
present location at 3452 N. Ocean Boulevard to School property,
approximating 3650 N. Ocean Boulevard.
The house to be moved is a one - story, wood- frame, "polo cottage"
faced in front with brick. It contains two bedrooms and would be lived
in by a single person who teaches at the School. The cottage is small,
and under 1,500 square feet of floor space. It is low and unobtrusive.
As indicated on the attached partial site plan, the only practical
place on which the dwelling may be moved is a site adjacent to the sports
field and located close to an presently- existing dwelling known as the
Silvia house at 3700 N. Ocean Boulevard. The proposed location would
utilize the existing driveway to the Silvia house.
—T'if!iw4 i"g ••'---w.ut -� -- r- +- a tfi rk f t•h t F
l
�^TT 111C S1ZC�F PAP Mid 'v
- of_046 -rZt- To set the house back further would place it so as to
interfere with the sports field.
The petitioner would like to point out that the Silvia house at 3700
N. Ocean Boulevard, an original and historical dwelling some fifty feet
to the north, and once a stable- keeper's cottage, is already non-
conforming, with only 15 -plus feet from the front property line.
The proposed dwelling is consistent conceptually and historically
with the location and the founding of the School, once a part of polo
fields and stables in the 1930's and 1940's. Not many such buildings
exist which tie us to the past.
We are able to locate the house slightly beyond the 25 -foot setback
requirement from the front property line. It will be placed at a 7 -foot
height above mean sea level (this is not a problem as the house would sit
on relatively high ground, on level with AIA). It would be slightly
higher than the Silvia house, in fact.
GULF STREAM SCHOOL • 3600 GULF STREAM ROAD • GULF STREAM, FLORIDA 33483 • 276 -5225
Sanitary facilities will be ei
page 2
a) a separate septic tank and leaching field system, or
b) tied in directly to the School's own septic system, by virtue
of running a sewer pipe across the sports field.
Facilities will be approved in the normal manner through the County
Health Department.
House will be upgraded as to electrical and plumbing, etc.,
requirements to meet existing codes.
All proper permits will be secured and State and local police
authorities would be contacted. The driveway- access will meet the
approval of Ocean Ridge Fire Department.
Bond will be posted for road damage.
Insurance certificates will be provided so as to hold the Town of
Gulf Stream harmless from liability.
The proposed move would be accomplished by LaPlant -Adair Company,
professional movers, and would occur at night - well into the early
morning. The house would be divided in two parts for moving.
OTHER:
The house would provide not only living space for a valued faculty
member, but said person would provide additional security for the School
at off- hours, and indirectly, security watch for the town.
The proposal implies no additional parking in the area since said
teacher normally parks at the School during the day now and would be
parking on the other side of the campus. (Technically, there would be
less traffic since said person would walk to work.)
Except for the setback problem, we see this proposal in a positive
light: it does not increase population in the usual sense; it is a
reasonable use of the land; and the use is consistent historically with
the Town and the School.
Sincerely,
Thomas M. Woodward, Jr.
Headmaster, for the Board of Trustees

Attn: Building Official
RE: Setback Variance
Mr. & Mrs. Stormet Norem
539 Middle Road
Gulfstream, Florida
Dear Sir:
Mr. & Mrs. Norem wish to install a roof over their existing
rear porch at their residence at 539 Middle Road. It is our
understanding that the required setbacks have changed since
the original house was constructed, and they will therefore
need a variance to construct the roof system.
The hardship which Mr. & Mrs. Norem face is that the foundation
system which holds up the existing rear porch and the proposed
new roof presently exists at the old setback lines. This
existing foundation system is a piling and grade beam system
which would be next to impossible to change or add to given the
existing site configuration along the waterway.
The granting of this variance requested will not confer on the
applicant any special privileges that have not already been
granted to other residents in the area, and it is the minimal
variance that will make the reasonable use of the rear porch
possible.
The porch in question exists on the northwest rear portion of
the lot and is not visible from any public roadway. The
addition as proposed will be visible from the waterway and
neighbors to the north of the site, but will be in the same
architectural style as the remainder of the existing home
and, in our opinion, will enhance the pool, patio, and rear
area of the lot.

modifications being proposed, please do not hesitate to
call.

paper, May 21, 1989, pages Al and A18, titled, "Estates fall so mansions can rise ".
I have collected, additionally, a number of ordinances and documents governing
architectural and zoning,commissions for some of our neighboring communities:
Manalapan has an architectural committee that must approve as simple
a procedure as changing the color of a house. This committee acts to
approve all new construction plans, residential changes and additions
within the town.
In Palm,Beach, where Tim Frank is Town Planner, they are conducting
massive down zoning -- that is, zoning parcels to maintain present
usage utilizing a comprehensive plan. No building permit is issued
without the approval of either the Palm Beach Architectural Commission
or Landmark Preservation Commission. It is of particular interest to
note that our town attorney, John Randolph, is attorney for Palm Beach
as well and has worked diligently to protect Palm Beach from this
teardown and subdivision mania.
Available also, are guidelines for Lost Tree Village and excerpts from
Vanity Fair, April 1989, an article titled " Teardown" by Domenick Dunne.
Please contact Clarence at Town Hall, 407 - 276 -5116, to see a copy.
Another current issue precipitating a need for concern is the Coastal Construction
Line Setback, which could very likely go into effect in January of 1990. Developers
and residents, alike, are very aware of the restrictions this new law will pose and,
therefore, are making plans to move quickly to circumvent the impact on oceanfront
properties.
The Town Appearance and Beautification Committee feels someone should reevaluate
town ordinances in light of the CCL ruling and this national teardown trend. In
addition, we feel that thoughtful consideration should be made in regard to lot
coverage, setbacks, appropriate landscaping, and a concern many have about developers
coming into our community to build "spec" houses that do not fit into the character
of Gulf Stream as a town of charm and quality.
l
page 2
With this in mind, we ask the Directors of the Town of Gulf Stream Civic Association,
Inc. to strongly urge the Gulf Stream Town Commission, at its June 9th meeting, to
declare a one hundred day moratorium on approving new construction so that a
committee can be made up of representatives as follows:
one from the Town Commission
two from the Planning and Zoning Board
one from the Town of Gulf Stream Civic Association
one from the Place au Soleil Homeowners' Association
one from the Town Appearance and Beautification Committee.
These representatives can meet with the Town Attorney to make recommendations
regarding the possible establishment of:
(1) an architectural committee
(2) a landmark preservation board
(3) changes in our current zoning ordinances
(4) guidelines to discourage the construction of "spec" houses.
Your consideration of this material and thoughts on the subject are most valuable
to us.
Sincerely,
AlI rn''
Kathle S. Wallace, Chairman
Town Appearance and Beautification

Members of the Board
Town of Gulfstream
Re: DENBERG RES. Mitchell & Leslie Denberg
1221 N. Ocean Drive (Al A)
Gulfstream, FL
Dear Members,
Our office is acting as the authorized agent for the Owners, as the
Landscape Architects of record for the project. At this time the plans for
the construction of this residence have been approved. These permits include
the Demolition of the existing residence. The Permit for selective tree
removal we understand is ready for approval with the exception of the issue
of the Australian Pines.
In pursuit of this point, we were not able to find any regulation, code
or ordinance of file with the Town that provided for protection of Australian
Pines. In fact the only regulation record is a State law that prohibits the
propogation and sale of Meleleuka, Australian Pine and Brazilian Pepper
trees anywhere within the State of Florida. Further more, the Counties of
Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, require no permits for the removal of these
species of tree on private or commercial properties other than the proper
license to operate to a tree trimming service.
Furthermore, it is in direct conflict with our lisence as Registered
Landscape Architect in providing for the Health, Saftey and Welfare Act to
ignore the Australian Pines which occur on the parcel for which we are
responsible when these same trees line the primary hurricane evacuation
route. We hope you understand our dilema. We have checked with Palm Beach
County Building Department, Landscape Division, as well as the PBC
Agricultural Extension Agents offices and found no justification to allow
the trees to remain.
Can this Board refer us to some regulation of record to allow us to
resolve this issue in order to proceed with construction in a timely manner.
We hope that this outline is thorough and to your satisfaction. If there are
any questions regarding this letter or these plans, please contact us as soon
as possible.
Sincerely Yours,
Thom J.

3432 NORTH OCEAN BOULEVARD
'A Gulf Stream Polo Cottage
Year Built
Total Square footage
1930(per Tax Rolls)
1180 square feet
3432 North Ocean Boulevard is a three ranked cottage of frame
and brick construction.. Built during the era when Gulf Stream
was the "Polo Capital of the United States ", the cottage
exemplifies the values and traditions of the time. Today, it
serves as a reminder of a time when this community was one of
the premiere resorts in America.
has
The house features three bedrooms and two baths with an open
Living— Dining area. The Living Room a .fireplace, and
hardwood floors accent the house.., The matching bay windows
in the two principal bedrooms, and the detailed glass wall in
the Living area denote an architectural sense of detail (Both
%Henry Pope and Henry Harding, two distinguished architects,
have been credited with the cottage designs).Though modest in
scale and dimension, the structure's significance becomes
integral when considered as part of an ensemble of almost fifteen
remaining cottages.
The relocation of this building is a viable alternative.
Retaining this structure provides the opportunity to remember
and to develop an understanding for the character and style
of life which once defined the community.
Preserving this cottage fosters a knowledge of the living
heritage of the past.It's association with local events and
personalities lends the community a distinctive sense of time
and place.
"No one enjoys seeing the end of an era"

"If Gulf Stream should lose the charm of the stables and a
single field which is left, even realizing its value as a
development potential, the community itself would lose much
of the lure which many of its residents sought. "(April 22,1964,
A.D. Beveridge)
GULF STREAM POLO
TIMELINE
1926 Phipps Family introduces Polo to Palm Beach
County
1934 Gulf Stream Polo begins.
J.S. Phipps introduces Polo to Gulf Stream on the fields along
the Intracoastal Waterway. Over 2000 spectators were often
attracted to the site where games were played four times weekly.
Proclaimed the "Winter Polo Capital of the United States ",
the playing fields were complimented with two practice fields,
stables, a clubhouse, a blacksmith shop, and numerous cottages
for the players, their families, and polo personnel( "the Polo
Cottages") These modest frame buildings were situated near the
fields and were built between the late 1920s to the early 1940s.
Considered the "Birthplace of Florida Polo ", the nation's finest
enthusiasts were featured: Stewart Iglehart, Cecil Smith, and
Mike Phipps. The United States 40 goal team of 1939 featured
Iglehart, Phipps, Smith, and Thomas Hitchcock,Jr. When the Miami
Beach fields were closed in the late 1930s, Gulf Stream became
the only field South of Aiken, South Carolina.
1956 Henry Pope purchases polo fields from the
Phipps Family. Bert and A.D. Beveridge announce the move to
Arthur Vining Davis' new fields on Camino Real near the Boca

Standard Building Code; pier 1 of the
101.5 - SPECIAL HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND DISTRICTS
The provisions of this code relating to the
construction alteration, repair, enlargement,
restoration, relocation or moving buildings or
structures shall not be mandatory for existing
buildings or structures identified and classified
by the state or .local jurisdiction as Historic
]Buildings when such buildings or structures are
