Everett Jenner, Agent for Joyce Harvey,explained the proposed project and
displayed photographs of the properties in the vicinity of the Harvey
property. He displayed a color rendering showing the new color of the
structure to be a soft peach shade and advised the new addition will
contain a new master suite with two studies and a covered porch, and that
it is proposed to redesign the existing kitchen /dining area.
Mr. Jenner next addressed the request to extend the existing one story
C
screen enclosure to the eave of the second story, advising that debris
from the second story roof falls into the gutter where the existing one
story screen meets the wall of the two story portion of the structure.
He further advised that it is impossible to clean this out without removing
the screen roof. By extending the screen to the second story, the debris
would fall all the way to the outside edge of the screen where it could
be easily cleaned up. He added that this extension of the screen enclosure
is screened from view by an existing hedge when looking from Pelican Lane.
Mr. Jenner stated that the alternative to extending the screen to the 2nd
floor would be to have the screen roof rebuilt in such a manner as to
have hinged panels along this inaccessible section of gutter.

screen enclosures in Gulf Stream and she would be opposed to approving
such. She then moved that the application be approved as presented with
the exception of the request to extend the screen enclosure to the eave
of the 2nd story which is denied. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
Armour. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour;
AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
B. Donald Lang as Agent for Edward & Leslie Zimmer, 810 Canary

and fully renovate the interior and exterior of the existing
dwelling located at 3110 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Florida
that is described as a portion of Lots 36 & 37, Gulf Stream

Mr. Donald Lang, Agent for Mr. & Mrs. Zimmer, displayed a color rendering
i of the dwelling as it would look if the proposed improvements are made.
He explained that two additions to the dwelling are proposed with the
addition in the back to include a breakfast room, laundry room, expanded
kitchen and covered patio. He then explained that the front addition
will include a covered front entry, den, entry foyer and staircase with
the foyer and staircase extending up to the existing second floor. Commis-
sioner Wallace complimented Mr. Lang on the design.

1. SITE PLAN REVIEW -To permit construction of two new structures,
convert garage to living area, construct a small addition
to existing dwelling, and expand existing patio at the
address stated herein that is described as Part of Lots 40
and 41 of Gulf Stream Properties Subdivision.
Mr. Steffens explained that the proposed western most structure would serve
as a one - story, three -car garage and storage area with the garage doors
facing south and with extensive landscaping for the west and south sides
to screen from the neighboring property and Gulf Stream Road. Mr. Steffens
then explained that the other proposed structure is located further to the
east, closer to the main house, and it will contain a one -car garage,
maids quarters, and cabana and bath.
With regard to revisions to the main residence, Mr. Steffens explained
that the existing garage in the main residence is proposed to be converted
to an expanded kitchen area and a breakfast area which will be extended out
the back of the structure. He added that the existing patio /pool deck will
be extended to the south to within three feet of the south property line,
with the remaining three feet to be landscaped and a 6' high wall added for
greater privacy. Mr. Steffens then presented a scale model of the property
and proposed improvements.
Chairman Orthwein reported that the ARPB had recommended approval as
requested by the drawings submitted.
Commissioner Wallace advised that she had been contacted by the neighbor
adjacent on the south, Mrs. Fogerty, who expressed concern that only
�.' limited screening material could be planted in the 3' space provided.
Commissioner Wallace asked Mr. Steffens if the applicant would be willing
to widen this landscape buffer area along the south property line in
the area of the driveway. Mr. Steffens felt this could be
increased from a 3' strip to a 5' wide strip without too much impact on
the proposed improvements.
Commissioner Armour moved that the Site Plan be approved as presented
with the provision that the landscape barrier on the south side of the
property be increased in width from 3' to 5' along the driveway that is pro-
posed. The motion was seconded by Commissioner True. Roll Call: Comm.
Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, and
Mayor Koch; AYE.

VIII. Reports.
The Audit Report for 1993 -1994 Fiscal Year was presented at this time
by Paul Bremmer, of Ernst & Young. He advised that the Town is financially
sound and they had only one recommendation. This recommendation was
that all costs incurred that are associated with construction of the new
water line crossing be capitalized in the Enterprise Fund rather than
showing them in budgeted expense accounts. Commissioner Wallace moved

presented. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour;
AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
The Consideration of Approval of the Bid Documents for constructing
the water line across the Intracoastal Waterway that was listed on the
agenda as item IX.A. was heard at this time.
Jerry David, representing the Town's engineering firm, Shalloway, Foy, etc.,
presented a brief description of the proposed project and advised that he
would be pleased to answer any questions that the Commissioners may have
after having reviewed the drawings and the bid documents that were a part
of the agenda packet.
Mayor Koch wanted to be certain that the contract would provide that any
property or street that is damaged as a result of this project would be
restored to it's original condition at the contractors expense. Mr.
David assured that this is provided in the documents.
Commissioner True wanted it to be a matter of record that the Commissioners
cannot be expected to review these documents from an engineering prospective
in that none have this expertise, and he asked Mr. David if, as the Town's
Engineer, he is acknowledging the responsibility of protecting the Town's
interests throughout this project, beginning with this design and bidding
phase. Mr. David stated that his firm is accepting this responsibility.
Qbmmtssioner True then asked for an explanation of a number of provisions
in the proposed bid documents. Mr. David discussed each to the satisfaction
of all members of the Commission. Commissioner True moved and Commissioner
Armour seconded that the Bid Documents for constructing the water line
across the Intracoastal Waterway be approved and that authorization be

This item was heard earlier in the meeting.
E. Police Report for November, 1994.
Chief Robert Schultz reported the police activity for the month of November
and added as a matter of information that two 1995 Ford Police Cars had be-
en ordered from the Florida Sheriff's Association bid. He further reported

the water line across the Intracoastal Waterway and authorization
to advertise.
Action was taken on these matters earlier in the meeting.
B. Consideration of Approval of Delray Beach Application to
perform ALS /BLS Transports.
Town Manager Harrington explained that the Delray Beach Commission had
voted in favor of the Delray Beach Fire Department performing the ALS/
BLS Transports that Were previously handled by Bethesda Ambulance and
have filed an application with the County Commission for approval to
do so, since they are the authority for assigning these responsibilities.
He further explained that since Delray Beach performs these services under
contract for Gulf Stream, Gulf Stream has an opportunity to be a part of
this application or to have Bethesda Ambulance continue the service. He
stated that his recommendation is that Gulf Stream be a part of the applicat-
ion to have Delray Beach perform ALS /BLS Transport in that it will be more
efficient to have operations in both towns handled in the same manner, and
it is questionable if Bethesda will continue it's operation in this area
for one small community such as Gulf Stream.
Commissioner Armour moved for approval of the Delray Beach Application to
perform ALS /BLS Transports and Commissioner Wallace seconded the motion.
Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm.
True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; NAY. Mayor Koch stated that he believed that
free enterprise could perform these services at less cost than what
a governmental agency can.
C. Items by Mayor and Commissioners.
There were no items by the Mayor or the Commissioners.
i X. Public.
Mrs. Joyce Harvey stated she was sorry she was not present when her
application for Site Plan Approval was heard as she could have saved the
Commission deliberation on the issue of the second story screen. She
advised that they have already decided against extending the screen to
the second floor eave.
XI. Adjournment. Mayor Koch adjourned the meeting at 10:25 A.M. .
