IV. Minutes of the Regular Meeting of March 11, 1994.
Commissioner Wallace moved and Commissioner True seconded that the
minutes be approved as circulated. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm.
True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
V. Additions, withdrawals, deferrals, arrangement of agenda items.
Mayor Koch advised that there are engineers present to speak on
the matter of the water line crossing under the Intracoastal Waterway
which is listed as item VIII.A.4. on the agenda. He suggested that this
be heard following the announcements. There were no objections.
VI. Announcements.
The Town Clerk announced that there would be a regular meeting
V.) held on May 13, 1994,at 9:00 A.M. and on June 10, 1994,at 9:00 A.M.
VIII.A.4. In keeping with the suggestion of Mayor Koch, Jerry David of
Shalloway, Foy, Rayman & Newell, Inc. was recognized. He reported that
in conjunction with representatives from the Ductile Iron Pipe Research
Association, an inspection of the water line crossing under the Intra-
coastal Waterway had been conducted. He stated that the soil surrounding
the pipe on the west side of the waterway is very corrosive and that the
bolts at the joints are in very poor condition. Mr. David reported that
there had been a recent break in the line on the west side of the water-
way due to the poor condition of the pipe, and more can be expected. He
stated that in order to determine the condition of the pipe that is
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -April 8, 1994 page 2
buried under the waterway, more extensive testing would be needed. He
further stated that with the mechanical joints on the west side being
in such poor condition, it is reasonable to assume the mechanical joints
in the water are equally as bad. Mr. David stated that at this time it
is unknown as to how far into the water the mechanical joints continue
or where the subaqueous joints begin, the condition of which is also
Cunknown. Mr. David said that the existing 40 year old pipe located on the
' land could be replaced with new Ductile Iron Pipe with a 6 mil polyethylene
covering to protect it from the corrosive soils and that the mechanical
joints that are accessible and located in the water can be repaird by
installing a split gland over each joint. He added that the joint repair
scenario is not applicable to joints located in the middle of the Intra-
coastal. Mr. David believed it would be impractical to try to repair
either pipes or joints located in the Intracoastal because of the costs
involved as compared to costs for installing a new system in the Intra-
coastal.
Mayor Koch stated he would like to meet with the engineers after the Town
has inquired from others along the Intracoastal as to the conditions
surrounding their installations and the age of same. Mayor Koch believed
that further testing should be done. Town Manager Harrington reminded
that testing can be very expensive and perhaps this should be weighed
against the benefits that would be gained when we already know that this
is an old line. Commissioner True agreed with this. Mr. Harrington
suggested that while he is in the process of contacting other municipalities
regarding their crossings, he also obtain some estimates of cost for
further testing and bring these back to the Commission for review. This
was so directed.
Mayor Koch returned to the order of the agenda at this point.
VII. Applications for Development Approval.
A. Conrad DeSantis, DeSantis, Gaskill & Hunston, P.A. as agent
for the Gulf Stream School Foundation, 3600 Gulf Stream Road.
1. SITE PLAN REVISION to comply with conditions of variances
previously approved by the Town under File #93 -1 for the
addition of a multi -use building at the above address.
Susan Ridgley, President of the Gulf Stream School Foundation, reminded
that variances had been previously granted to permit construction of a
"field house" addition to the Gulf Stream School but with certain conditions
attached. She advised that those conditions have been addressed with
the assistance of architects and engineers and that they are here to
seek approval of the site plan revision incorporating changes to comply
with the conditions. She pointed out that with the proposed Developers
Agreement, it would be possible to project into the future. She then
introduced Mr. James Orthwein, Vice President of the Foundation.
Mr. Orthwein began by expressing his appreciation to Mr. Harrington for
his cooperation through the process and then displayed a rendering of the
proposed field house.
Mayor Koch directed that questions from the members of the Commission
be heard at this time.
Regular Meeting & PUblic Hearing
Town Commission -April 8, 1994 page 3
Commissioner True stated that he did not remember "envelopes" that are
mentioned in the Developers Agreement being previously discussed. Mr.
Orthwein stated that the subject had been discussed in connection with
placing caps on future expansion and activities of the school. In
explaining the envelopes, Mr. Orthwein advised that Envelope #1 consists of
all buildings that are connected by walkways plus the proposed addition
^ of the fieldhouse. He stated that the line is drawn around the outside
�} of the cluster so that the envelope extends no closer to the property
lines than what now exists. Envelope lA is an option to Envelope 1
that would allow for two story construction which would include part of.the
maximum additional square footage as is provided in Envelope 1.
Envelopes 2, 3, and 4 encompass each of the three cottages. As with the
school itself, the envelopes would not permit construction any closer
to the property line than the existing buildings presently are.
Commissioner True noted that the proposed envelopes provide for development
of one third greater than currently exists. Mr. Orthwein explained that
the one third is the amount that is now in covered walkways. By creating
the envelope it would permit building construction over the entire area
that is now shared by buildingsand covered walkways.
Commissioner True stated that the parking analysis shows that all traffic
will still enter off Gulf Stream Road. He questioned how this will help
the back -up of traffic that now exists. Commissioner Wallace believes
that the matter of traffic congestion has not been properly addressed as
there should not be a back -up of traffic. She suggested that the spaces
provided for other than parents on the west side of the building be also
dedicated to parent parking in order to move more cars off the street
during periods of traffic congestion.
Once again referring to the Developers Agreement, Commissioner True believed
that use of the school should be kept for school related events only, not
expanded for community events. Commissioner Wallace shared this concern
and offered the following to regulate activities: 1) The school may
not collect a rent (cash or otherwise) from the individual or organization
conducting the event. 2) No individual or organization, other than
the school, may charge admission to an event or activity; however,
organizations may collect dues. 3) No individual or organization shall
receive compensation for conducting an activity or event unless the
compensation is received directly from the school. 4) Events or
activities conducted past the hour of 6:00 P.M. on weekdays or at any
time on weekends or holidays shall be limited to a total twelve (12)
per calendar year. There shall be no limit on those ending before 6:00 P.M.
provided they are not conducted on a weekend or holiday. 5) All
events hall be concluded prior to 10:00 P.M.
Commissioner Wallace was not in favor of having the cottages on the
school property included in the envelopes as she believed that would
encourage redevelopment of them as opposed to preserving them. Commis-
sioner Wallace further did not wish to approve any envelopes until such
time as the impact of the proposed site improvements has been evaluated.
She also was not comfortable with binding future commissioners by granting
variances in advance through the approval of the envelopes.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -April 8, 1994 page 4
Mayor Koch noted that this appears to permit an increase in the number
of students by approximately one third. Mr. Orthwein advised that the
number is 250 maximum and has always been 250, including full time /seasonal.
Attorney DeSantis pointed out that the school is in a district zoned
residential and that the zoning code provides setbacks, etc. for residential
construction only, making the school non - conforming. Inasmuch as there
are no provisions for setbacks, etc. in the code for schools, the
envelope concept would compensate, he said.
Brian Pfeifler, a town resident, suggested that the envelope concept
establishes a conforming use for the school. Attorney Randolph stated
that the school remains non - conforming but through a developers agreement,
variances are being granted as long as the conditions are met.
Mr. Finley, a town resident questioned what the percentage of students in
the school are residents of the Town and was advised that about 20% are
residents. He asked that this be a matter of record. He then asked how
much had been set aside for the sewage connection and was told that the
figure is between $15,000 and $20,000.
Mayor Koch asked that the Town Manager list the concerns and amendments
expressed by the Commission with regard to the proposed Developers Agreement.
These are: 1) Teacher parking to be restricted to the east side of the
building with all parking in front of the school to be reserved for parents.
2) Events and activities shall be restricted as follows: a. The
school may not collect a rent (cash or otherwise) from the individual or
organization conducting the event. b. No individual or organization,
other than the school, may charge admission to an event or activity;
however, organizations may collect dues. c. No individual or organization
shall receive compensation for conducting an activity or event unless
the compensation is received directly from the school. d. Events or
activities conducted past the hour of 6:00 P.M. on weekdays or at any
time on weekends or holidays shall be limited to a total of twelve (12)
per calendar year. There shall be no limit on those ending before 6:00
P.M. provided they are not conducted on a weekend or holiday. e. All
events shall be concluded prior to 10:00 P.M. 3) "Student" shall be
defined to include seasonal and full time students. 4) The Town Hall
Parking Lot shall not be used during business hours for overflow parking
from the school. 5) Envelopes #2, #3, and #4 shall be removed. 6)
Within Envelope #1, the size -' of additions permitted shall be reduced
and /or one foot of existing covered walkway shall be removed for every
one foot of additional building that is approved. 7) Include language
to assure continued maintenance of the landscaping. 8) By January 1,
1998, application shall be made for all building permits necessary to
construct all of the "site improvements ". By January 1, 1999, all site
improvements shall be completed. By January 1, 2000 applications for
building permits to construct the field house and /or remodel auditorium
shall be made. Should a building permit application not be submitted
for the field house and /or auditorium renovations by Janaury 1, 2000, the
site plan approval for these improvements shall expire; however,the
envelope lines enclosing these improvements shall remain. 9) Paragraph
I. relating to substantial destruction shall be removed from the Agreement.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -April 8, 1994 page 5
Mayor Koch called a 10 minute recess at 11:10 A.M. and then reconvened
at 11:20 A.M.
Citing the number of concerns with the Developers Agreement, Commissioner
True moved and Commissioner Wallace seconded that action on the Site
Plan Revision be deferred to a Special Meeting of the Town Commission
/ to be held on Tuesday, April 26, 1994,at 9:00 A.M in the Commission
Chambers of the Town Hall. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. True;
AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
2. ABANDONMENT of northerly 25' of Oleander Way.
Commissioner Wallace moved that this matter be deferred to the Special
Meeting of the Town Commission to be held on Tuesday, April 26, 1994,at
9:00 A.M. in the Commission Chambersof the Town Hall. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner True. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm.
True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
B. James C. Perry, Architect as agent for Gerry Lepkanich, 3223
N. Ocean Blvd.
1. VARIANCE (public hearing) request to permit the construction
of a tennis court which would extend 5.25' into the
required south side yard setback at the location stated
above.
Mr. James Perry, agent for Mr. & Mrs. Lepkanich, explained piles had been
driven for the retaining wall on the south side of the tennis court that
were 5.25' south of the approved location. He went on to explain that
not only were they placed incorrectly, but that Mr. Lepkanich had a sealed
survey showing them to be in the location that had been approved. He
said that this error was discovered by Mr. Lepkanich after he had dis-
charged the contractor and assumed the responsibility of the project.
Joan Orthwein, Chairman of the Architectrual Review & Planning Board,
explained that the ARPB had found it necessary to first define a tennis
court before taking action with regard to a variance. She explained
further that the site plan that had been previously approved showed
the retaining wall on the south to be the southern extremity of the
tennis court and was out of the setback. With the piles being in the
wrong place, the retaining wall is now 5.25' inside the setback, she
said. Mrs. Orthwein added that there is no prohibition in the code
regarding placing a retaining wall in the setback. In view of that,
it necessary to decide if a tennis court definition would be 1) Only
that area between the lines. 2) That area between the lines plus some
additional area outside of the lines. 3) All of the area within the
wall /fence enclosure. She advised that Mr. Lepkanich was agreeable
to moving the lines to the north and making the area of.play smaller
if it were to be determined that the definition of a tennis court is
the area of play. Chairman Orthwein .reported that the ARPB voted to
recommend that a tennis court be defined as the area of play and that a
site plan revision be approved,provided the white lines of the court are
moved 6' to the north and a 3' high fence erected to divide the court
from the 6' patio area adjacent to the south retaining wall, thus
eliminating the need for a variance.
Commissioner Wallace pointed out that considerable time was spent, and
many compromises made, in order to be able to give site plan approval to
this project originally. She could see no reason to deviate from the
original site plan; adding that if mistakes were made in trying to
follow the plan, it is a problem to be resolved between the owner and the
contractor, and not up to the Town to solve their problems for them.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -April S, 1994 page 6
Commissioner True moved that approval be denied, seconded by Commissioner
Wallace. During discussion, additional consideration was given to the
definition of a tennis court. Commissioner True then withdrew his motion
and Commissioner Wallace withdrew her second. Commissioner Wallace then
moved that this matter be continued to the next regular meeting and Commis-
sioner True seconded the motion. Attorney Kirschner, representing Mr. &
Mrs. Lepkanich,urged that a decision be made at this time. Roll Call: Comm.
Wallace; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
2. SITE PLAN REVISION to permit the addition of an exterior
stair on the south side of the structure under construction
at the address stated above.
Joan Orthwein, Chairman of the Architectural Review and Planning Board,
reported that the ARPB voted 3 to 2 to recommend that the site plan
revision to permit the outside stair be granted provided that a) kitchen
facilities not be added to the guest suite, b) the guest suite not be
rented and, c) the owner not seek other approvals from the Board
until a time period of at least one year has elapsed from the date the
certificate of occupancy on the house is issued.
Mr. Perry presented the design of the proposed outside stair and explained
that there are two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor to
which there is no access. He stated that they will be used as guest
rooms for visiting family members and it has always been intended that
the rooms have access from the outside of the house. He further stated
that the approved plans showed an inside staircase and that Mr.
Lepkanich had pointed this out to the contractor, only to be told by
him that the change to the outside would be made at a later time. Mr.
Perry, who was not involved with the project until Mr. Lepkanich assumed
responsibility, reported that a previous design for an outside stair
had been submitted and at that time the ARPB had felt the design of the
stair was not in keeping with the style of the structure, suggesting
that the architect return with a more fitting design. At that time,
the applicant withdrew the request, and then subsequently filed an
application to add an outside stair and two additional rooms on the
second floor. This was denied, he said. Mr. Perry-stated that he had
designed the outside stair to fit the architectural style of the
structure and pointed out how it becomes a part of the building with no
appearance of having been added as an after thought.
Town Clerk Taylor read two objections to the project, one from Weddell
Hancock and one from Mrs. Robert Dixson.
Commissioner Wallace moved that the revised site plan not be approved due
to it not being in keeping with the general harmony and appearance of the
C!Town. The motion was seconded by Commissioner True. Roll Call: Comm.
Wallace; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; NAY.
C. Daniel H. Carter, Landscape Architect as agent for Mr. &
Mrs. Robert Dockerty, 3000 N. Ocean Blvd.
1. AlA VEGETATIVE DISTURBANCE PERMIT to permit removal, re-
placement and addition of landscaping materials, and the
relocation of portions of existing driveway within the
AlA Historic Corridor at the address stated above.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -April 8, 1994 page 7
Inasmuch as there was no one present to represent the applicant, Mr.
Harrington explained the nature of the request. In addition, Mr. Harrington
advised that one of the neighbors, Mrs. Fogarty, had visited the town
hall on Thursday to express some concern to the relocation of the drive-
way. The Town Manager stated that Mrs. Fogarty understood that there
was to be a guest house constructed on the back of the lot and that the
driveway would extend farther than what is shown at this time in order
to access the new building. He went on to explain that the Dockerty's
plan to make application for a site plan review for approval to construct
a guest house and that it is expected to be on the agenda for the ARPB
at the April meeting. The Town Manager advised that he had told Mr.
& Mrs. Dockerty that they should meet with Mrs. Fogarty and explain what
they are planning,in that the proposed location for the driveway is
very close to the property line. Due to the fact that the application
for the guest house is expected to be heard next month, and in view of
questions being raised by Mrs. Fogarty, Mr. Harrington recommended
that any decision regarding the AlA Vegetative Disturbance Permit be
deferred until the site plan review for the guest house is heard.
Commissioner Wallace moved and Commissioner True seconded that the
application be continued until such time as the new application for
a site plan approval for the guest house is heard. Roll Call: Comm.
Wallace; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
VIII. Reports.
A. Town Manager
1. Phase II Tree Trimming.
Mr. Harrington reminded that at the last meeting he had reported that
there may be an opportunity of a considerable savings in the tree trimming
If Phase II were done along with Phase I.,and that he would be bringing
those figures to the Commission for consideration. Mr. Harrington reported
that in speaking with Mr. Hoyt, he was advised that Mr. Hoyt believed
that the amount of traffic control that would be necessary would greatly
influence the cost of the work. In view of this, Mr. Hoyt suggested that
he would like to have a one day trial before committing to a cost for
completing Phase I & Phase II at the same time. Town Manager Harrington
advised that Chief Schultz would be coordinating the traffic control with
Mr. Hoyt and that sometime in June he would expect to have a cost to
present.
2. Update on Status of Various Ordinances
a. Home Occupations
b. ARPB Meeting Dates
C. Parking in Yards
Mr. Harrington asked the Commission for direction as to whether preparation
and adoption of ordinances to cover these three items should be delayed
to be included with the changes that are expected to be made to the
zoning code following the Task Force study or should be completed as soon
as possible. The Commission agreed that the staff begin work on amendments
to the zoning code to cover home occupations and ARPB meeting dates and
to also address the parking in yards through amendments to the nuisance
section of the code
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -April 8, 1994 page 8
3. Update on Pine Tree Legislation.
Mr. Harrington reported that legislation is stalled in a committee at this
time and the session is drawing to a close. He believed that it is un-
likely that any further action will be taken on the bill this year. The
Town Manager also reported that the Palm Beach County Commission had
on it's agenda this past week, a recommendation from their staff members
Cthat the Commission have the lobbyist in Tallahassee for the County,
oppose the Town's bill. He stated that he appeared before the County
Commission and explained that this matter was really none of their
concern since AlA is a State Highway located in the Town of Gulf Stream.
He further stated that Commission Chairman McCarty was sympathetic with
this and the Commission took no action on the staff recommendation.
4. Waterline Crossing in Intracoastal Waterway
This item was addressed earlier in the meeting.
5. Update on Bordeman Property Maintenance.
Mr. Harrington reported that monies had been pledged by friends of the
late Mr. Bordeman to help defray the cost of the recent property maint-
enance at the Bordeman property. However, Mrs. Boardeman had been asked
to pay $150.00 of the amount and has not done so. In view of her not
being willing to participate, the pledges have been revolked. Mr.
Harrington then asked for authorization from the commission to file a
lien against the property for the entire amount of $615.00 plus interest.
Commissioner True moved and Commissioner Wallace seconded the motion
that the Town Manager be authorized to place a lien against the property
located at 800 Tangerine Way, Gulf Stream, Florida in the amount of
$615.00 plus interest for property maintenance after having given due-
notice of such to Mrs. Bordeman. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm.
True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.

from the money market account to maintain an adequate cash flow, as is
the case each year. He called attention to the fact that at the end of
March, 1994, there is a net revenue surplus of $44,199.00. In closing,
he reported that two new police vehicles had been purchased for a total
cost of $13,542.00. Commissioner True move that the financial report
