V. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Variances -Board of Adjustment
1. Linda & Sydney Tal- Mason, 4217 County Road, Gulf Stream,
F1. 33483 requesting a variance to permit installation of
a swimming pool that would encroach 10' into required 15'
side yard on the north side, 5' into the required side yard
setback on the south side, and from 8' to 10' into the
required 15' rear yard setback at the address aforementioned.
Mr. Richard Brandt, Code Enforcement Officer advised that the Planning Board
had recommended the variance be granted as requested. Commissioner Stahl
asked if the applicant had considered moving the pool 5' to the south, next
to commercial property. Mr. Tal -Mason replied that Mrs. Tal -Mason had been
handling the planning so he was not aware if this was considered. He added
that the neighbor to the north had his pool at the property line and that he
had asked the neighbor if there would be an objection to the pool in the
proposed location and was advised there was no objection. The Town Clerk
was asked if there had been any objections or comments received to which she
replied there were none. Commissioner Armour moved and Commissioner Stahl
seconded that the variance be granted as requested and recommended by the
Planning Board and all voted AYE.

The Commission inquired if the addition of a pool would impact the water
retention. Mr. Brandt stated that a design by an engineer for water
retention was a part of the application and that the pool is being installed
with stone and stepping stones instead of a pool deck to increase retention
area. Commissioner Armour moved and Commissioner Stahl seconded that the
site plan be approved as submitted -and recommended by the Planning Board.
All voted AYE.
VII. Reports
0 A. Town Manager
1. Water Usage
Town Manager Flannery advised that he was pleased to see that water usage
was down during April by 12% as compared to March and down 22% as compared
to the same period last year. Mr. Flannery then called attention to a
letter prepared by Resource Engineering which was intended to start
implementation of the plan that was agreed to in the Stipulated Agreement
with the Department of Community Affairs. It was decided that each
Commissioner should meet with Mr. Flannery to review the contents.
Commissioner Stahl questioned if there would be an overall plan for water
conservation presented at the June meeting. Town Manager Flannery advised
that he would have one to present for review.
2. Trash Collection
Town Manager Flannery called attention to the detailed letter in the agenda
package with regard to a proposed change in trash collection. He suggested
that inasmuch as it is difficult to keep employees on this type of work,
the truck is in need of replacement, and the work is very hazardous, it would
be of benefit to the town to have County Sanitation pick up the trash. The
proposal from County Sanitation provided that for an additional $4.00 per
month per unit, they would remove 2 cubic yards of trash, once each week,
provided it was bagged and bundled. Any amount greater than 2 cubic yards
would be removed for an additional fee of $11.00 per yard and the resident
would be billed directly by County Sanitation.
The Commission expressed concern that a once a week pick -up would be
inadequate and that containerizing would not be well received. Mr. Flannery
was instructed to obtain bids from private contractors to perform the service
in a similar manner to that provided by the Town.
3. Disposal of utility vehicles
Town Manager Flannery advised that if there were no objections from the
Commission, he planned to declare one of the unmarked police vehicles with
well over 100,000 miles of use, the van that he is driving, and the station
wagon that Mr. Sava used, as surplus property and offer same for sale. He
reminded that a car allowance for him in the amount of $300 per month had
been provided in the current budget and he would be drawing on that after
sale of the van has been accomplished. He further advised that he would be
requesting an allowance of $350 per month in the next budget. There were
no objections to the sale of the vehicles. Commissioner Armour moved and
Commissioner Cross seconded that the vehicles be sold and all voted AYE.
Mr. Flannery, in mentioning Mr. Sava, advised with regret that Mr. Sava
would be officially terminated in two weeks. He was directed to prepare a
proclamation and resolution for presentation to Mr. Sava at the June meeting.
Town Commission Meeting Minutes of May 10, 1990 Page -3-
B. Town Attorney
Attorney Randolph advised he had no report. Mrs. Wallace questioned if
Ordinance 90/1 was prepared for first reading to which he replied that it
was not due to the fact it seemed logical to wait for the Land Development
Regulations so that they could all be covered by one ad since all require
2 publications of a page each which is quite costly.
Commissioner Wallace advised she was not pleased with the existing provisions
for lot coverage of lots of 20,000 square feet or more. She distributed
a copy of a list of several properties that had been analyzed to give
examples of what various percentages of coverage look like. She proposed that
for lots of 20,000 square feet or more, a maximum lot coverage of 25% be
established. After considerable discussion, Attorney Randolph was instructed
to make such change in the proposed Ordinance prior to advertising and
placing on first reading.
Commissioner Stahl was concerned with delaying the adoption of the Ordinance
and questioned if there could be some way to apply provisions of the
Ordinance prior to adoption. Attorney Randolph advised the "Zoning in
Progress" could be declared. Commissioner Stahl moved to declare zoning in
progress for those items presently under study as presently drafted in
Ordinance 90/1 including changes made at this meeting. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Armour and all voted AYE.
Commissioner Stahl then moved to declare zoning in progress in regard to the
Landmark Preservation Ordinance presently under study in order to preclude any
demolition until procedures provided in the Ordinance under study are
followed and public hearings held. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Wallace and all voted AYE.
C. Planning Board
There was no report from the Planning Board.
D. Financial Director
Mr. Gwynn pointed out that there are 2 items of revenue that are not usually
shown, an insurance premium and a reimbursement from the State for the
Comprehensive Plan. He also noted that the cash projection reflects a
transfer to the Bonded Indebtedness to cover the annual obligation which
will be 50% paid off. In closing the report, Mr. Gwynn pointed out that the
budget deficit had been reduced to $4,400. Commissioner Armour moved and
Commissioner Stahl seconded that the report be approved as presented and all
voted AYE.
�l E. Police Report
Captain Buchan presented a brief report on the April police activity.
F. Construction in Progress
A current list of construction in progress was noted.
G. Public Works
Report of April Public Works activity was acknowledged.
Town Commission Meeting Minutes of May 10, 1990 Page -4-
VIII. Items for Commission Action
A. Proposed Interlocal Agreement for Municipal Recycling
The proposed agreement between the Solid Waste Authority and the Town of
Gulf Stream was reviewed. Attorney Randolph stated he had reviewed same
and found it proper but he suggested that an attempt be made to reduce the
term below the five years provided. Commissioner Armour moved that the
Mayor and Town Clerk be authorized to execute the agreement following an
attempt by Attorney Randolph to reduce the 5 year term as much as possible.
Commissioner Cross seconded the motion and all voted AYE.
B. Items by Commissioners
There were no items by Commissioners.
C. Abandonment of Palm Way Request
A request for abandonment of Palm Way submitted by Attorney Carl Gezelschap
on behalf of Alan L. Gornick, owner of Lot 55, Gulfstream Properties No. 2,
adjacent to Palm Way and from George A. Welsh, owner of lot 54, Plat of
Gulf Stream Properties No. 2 were presented. The letters pointed out that
this street had not been used for a number of years and the owners had been
paying taxes on 15' of the street but there was no record of the previous
abandonment. Attorney Randolph explained that legal advertising would be
necessary after being provided with surveys and documents as set out in the
State Statutes. Mayor Koch explained that the applicants understood this
and added that the school would also be involved as they are an adjacent
property owner. The staff was directed to inform the applicants of the
formal procedure and to place the item on the agenda when the process has
been followed.
