Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. Mayor Koch passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Armour advising he would not be participating in this matter as he may have a conflict in that his firm participated in the sale of this property. William Mayer, Chairman of the Architectural Review and Planning Board, reported that his Board recommends that Mr. McKinney be given approval to demolish the existing dwelling but they had deferred action on the review of the proposed new development until additional data was received. In addition to some omitted detail, he advised that the members of the Board did not feel that the elevation drawings as presented provided enough detail. He stated that the representative for Mr. McKinney stated that Mr. McKinney was constructing a model that would be available in the future. Mr. Mayer advised the item would be on his Board's agenda for the March, 1991 meeting. Mr. Rex Nichols, Agent for Mr. McKinney was recognized and stated that the model was just being constructed by Mr. McKinney for his own use and would not be suitable for a public presentation. He questioned why his material was not sufficient for a site plan review since he had not attended the Architectural Review & Planning Board Meeting. He was advised that there are no dimensions shown on anything, no topo and no drainage design. It was suggested that a color rendering would also be most helpful. Comm. Stahl suggested to Mr. Nichols that he meet with Mr. Brandt and determine what is needed and what areas may be of concern to the Town. Commissioner Stahl then moved to grant approval for the demolition of the existing buildings at 3603 N. Ocean Blvd. as recommended by the Architectural Review and Planning Board. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wallace. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm.

Mr. Mayer explained that this was a request to amend the original site plan which provided for 2 trees to be removed to accomodate a driveway. He further explained that in attempting to obtain a permit from DOT for the driveway, Mr. Woolley discovered that their requirements differed from those of the Town. He stated the Planning Board recommend- ed that Mr. Woolley's request for an amendment be approved. Mayor Koch pointed out that since there was a discrepency between two Govern- mental Agencies, he felt this should be handled administratively by the staff and the Commissioners agreed.
