IV. Additions, withdrawals, deferrals, arrangement of agenda items. Town Clerk requested that requests for abandonment of Palm Way be added as item VIII.0 and there were no objections. 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. VI. Site Plan Review A. Linda & Sydney Tal- Mason, 4217 County Road, Gulf Stream, Fl. 33483- Installation of a swimming pool. Town Commission Meeting Minutes of May 10, 1990 Page -2- 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. IX. Correspondence A.
