A. Applications for Development Approval
1. An application submitted by Charles E. Toth, Architect, as
agent for W. Grant Williams, the owner of the property
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -May 15, 1998
page 2
located at 3145 Polo Dr., Gulf Stream, Florida, which is
legally described as Lot 7, Gulf Stream Properties.
a. Level 3 Architectural /Site Plan Review to permit two
one -story additions totaling 624 square feet,
connected to the rear (east side) of the home, placed
on either side of the existing patio that will expand
the master bedroom and add a family room.
b. Special Exception to permit the extension of an
existing non - conforming wall on the south side that
fails to meet the combined side setback requirements.
Mayor Koch asked all who intended to speak regarding this application to
stand and take the Oath whereupon the Town Clerk administered the Oath
to Charles Toth.
Mr. Toth stated that the Commissioners had been furnished drawings of
the proposed improvements and he would be pleased to answer any
questions.
Mayor Koch asked the Town Manager to state the recommendation from the
Architectural Review and Planning Board. Town Manager Garrison advised
that the Board, based on a finding that the proposed plans are
consistent with Article VII, Section B.1. and other applicable review
standards, had recommended the application be approved as submitted. The
recommended conditions listed in the report were: 1) Health Department
approval of the septic system be secured prior to issuance of a building
permit, unless the home is connected to the private Sewer System. 2)
The dense vegetative screening along the side and rear property lines
shall be perpetually maintained and replaced with like materials if
diseased or damaged. 3)
The non - conforming front jalousie windows shall be replaced with new
windows that have muntins. 4) Window openings on the rear elevation
shall be reduced by at least 4% by replacing the sliding glass doors
with French doors or with sliding doors of a smaller size and /or
eliminating the clear story windows above the French doors on the family
room. The Manager further reported that this recommendation carried
with a four to one vote. Upon being asked the reason for the dissenting
C vote, the Town Manager stated that it was felt that the addition of the
octagonal room was not consistent with the character of the existing
home.
Commissioner Lynch was inclined to agree with this but felt that if
there could be some way to assure that the landscape screen would be
maintained so that the octagonal room could not be seen, the design
might be acceptable. Attorney Randolph advised that the matter of
screening could be recorded as a covenant in the deed.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -May 15, 1998
page 3
Mr. Toth stated that he felt the octagonal room is consistent with the
Bermuda architecture. He further stated that Mr. Williams is in Florida
only in winter and enjoys the feeling of being in the open, as in a
garden room. He believed this design accomplishes this.
OCommissioner Devitt stated that a design should stand on its own merits
and not have to rely on landscaping as a cover.
Commissioner Orthwein believed it is more important to have the windows
in the front of the structure upgraded as is planned, as this will
improve the appearance of the entire house. She did not feel that a
covenant to assure maintenance of the landscape screen would be
necessary but did feel that it should be stated as a condition of the
approval. Mr. Devitt agreed with this, noting that the octagonal room
could not be seen from the street even if there were no hedges.
Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Devitt seconded that the
Level 3 Architectural /Site Plan review be approved with the conditions
that were recommended by the Architectural Review and Planning Board.
Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE,
Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
Commissioner Devitt then moved that, based on a finding that the
proposed plans are consistent with the special exception review criteria
and other applicable review standards, the Special Exception be granted
to permit the extension of the existing non - conforming south wall that
fails to meet the combined side setback requirements. Commissioner
Orthwein seconded the motion. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm.
Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
VIII. Reports.
A. Town Manager
1. Delray Beach Swap Shop Improvements
Town Manager Garrison called attention to the material in the agenda
packet regarding the proposed improvements and advised that it appears
that all modifications should improve the aesthetics of the site as well
as contain more of the activity indoors. Commissioner Lynch believed
this would be an improvement and the other Commissioners agreed.
2. FP&L Overhead Utility Lines
Mrs. Garrison reported that she had contacted Florida Power & Light with
regard to placing the overhead wire underground. While the detail from
FP &L will not be available until next week, they did advise that they
estimate the cost to be 4.5 million dollars. She further reported that
her initial discussions with FP &L indicate that availability of funds is
not promising.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -May 15, 1998
page 4
It was pointed out that FP &L does not do this work themselves, they
contract outside. Mr. Arazoza, speaking from the audience, advised that
he is acquainted with the contractor who does this work for FP &L, Rich
Acosta of Megotran, Inc., and he would be happy to supply the Town
Manager with their address and phone number.
QAttorney Randolph suggested that FP &L be invited to attend a future
Commission meeting to discuss this matter in detail and answer
questions.
Mayor Koch advised that previous attempts had been made to change the
overhead to underground and FP &L had advised that if they were to make
this very costly improvement, there is no way for them to recover the
cost.
All members of the Commission were in favor of continuing to pursue this
improvement and directed that the Town Manager contact Megotran, Inc. to
obtain more information after which consideration will be given to
having FP &L attend a meeting.
Commissioner Hopkins believed that with continued pressure and
investigation, this cost could be greatly reduced.
3. Palm Beach County Growth Management Program
Town Manager Garrison reported that in the interests of keeping the
Commission informed of large scale programs happening at the County
level, she had enclosed some summary materials in the packet on the
County's growth management program which has been in the development
stages for several years. She further reported that the County staff
had made a presentation at the Municipal League meeting and asked for
input from the cities. She stated that based on her knowledge of the
concepts to date, she does not foresee any impacts on the Town but will
continue to review updates as they become available.
4. Town Entry Markers
Mrs. Garrison reported that the Civic Association has graciously pursued
the donation of two entry markers for the AlA project, along with a berm
sign directing the public to Town Hall and Police Department. She
reminded that the Commission was shown a design concept last month and
asked for input. She called attention to a drawing of the proposed
markers and stated that she has a sample of the simulated Coquina stone
that is proposed. The Town Manager stated that the Association now
wishes to receive a formal endorsement of these markers from the Town
Commission, so that they may proceed with the project.
When asked if these are proposed to be located in the right -of -way, the
Town Manager replied that they will be but will be out of the "clear
zone" which is 10 feet from the pavement. She added that DOT
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -May 15, 1998
page 5
established the "clear zone" and is on the approved DOT plans of the
selected location.
The Commissioners asked if the construction would have a "breakaway
feature" such as is being used in the utility poles. Mrs. Garrison
advised she would investigate if it would be feasible to include this
feature. The Commission indicated that this investigation should not
hold up installation of the markers.
Town Manager Garrison then advised that there may be enough funding from
the Grant to cover the installation of new street signs as a part of the
landscaping, and that she had contacted the contractor with regard to
pricing berm signs at each of the intersecting public streets that would
also be of Coquina with bronze letters. She questioned if the
Commissioners were interested in her pursuing this further. All of the
Commissioners were enthusiastic about this possibility and encouraged
the Manager to continue on.
Commissioner Hopkins thanked Mrs. Winston and Mr. Kent who were in the
audience, for the generous donation from the Civic Association. The
Town Manager was directed to prepare a letter of appreciation to the
Association.
Commissioner Orthwein moved to accept the donation of the Town Markers
with thanks and the motion was seconded by Commissioner Devitt with all
voting AYE at roll call.
5. Delray Beach Water Contract
The Town Manager advised that a copy of the proposed contract included
in the packet contains the revisions the Town had requested and the City
City of Delray Beach plans to place it on their next agenda for action
if this revision is acceptable to Gulf Stream.
Commissioner Hopkins believed this to be a good contract for both
municipalities and asked the Town Manager if she can see any downside to
it. Mrs. Garrison stated that she is not aware of any problems with the
contract as proposed.
Commissioner Lynch moved to advise the City of Delray Beach that the
Water Contract as proposed is acceptable to the Town of Gulf Stream.
Commissioner Orthwein seconded the motion. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein;
AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor
Koch; AYE.
In closing her reports, Town Manager Garrison called attention to the
draft of a letter she had prepared for the Mayor's signature that is
addressed to the Civic Association. She advised that in reading the
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -May 15, 1998
page 6
minutes from a recent Civic Association meeting, it appears that some of
the members are not aware of the action the Town has taken in the past
and is taking currently to address the storm water flooding on Polo
Drive and Old School Road. She further advised that she had researched
the records and compiled a summary of what the Town has done in this
Oarea which is included in the letter. The Manager requested that the
Commissioners review the letter and advise her within the next few days
if they would like to make any changes prior to it being mailed. The
Mayor stated that he felt such a letter should be mailed and the
Commissioners agreed.
