VII. Presentation.
A. Recognizing the Retiring Chairman of the ARPB
Resolution No. 99 -5; A RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION TO HOWARD
"CHIP" WILSON FROM THE TOWN COMMISSION OF THE TOWN OF
GULF STREAM.
The Town Clerk read the Resolution and Town Manager Garrison presented
Mrs. Wilson with an engraved sterling silver key chain, expressing her
personal appreciation for his assistance in planning matters. Mayor
Koch also expressed appreciation on behalf of the Town and Commission,
and wished him well in his new position in Philadelphia.
VIII. PUBLIC HEARING.
A. Applications for Development Approval
Mayor Koch asked that all persons who intended to speak at the Public
Hearing please stand to take the oath. The Town Clerk administered the
oath to Mark Marsh, Tim Diamond, Shane Ames and Scott Morgan.
With regard to ex -parte communications, none were declared with regard
to the McShane application. Commissioner Orthwein stated that the
Morgans had expressed concerns to her regarding the size of the proposed
home at 590 Wrightway and Commissioner Devitt advised he was acquainted
with the Morgans and the Diamonds and that Mr. Diamond had phoned him
regarding the application. All were advised that they should speak to
the Town Manager regarding the application. Commissioner Hopkins
advised that he had spoken to the Town Manager regarding the
application.
1. An application submitted by Mark Marsh of Digby Bridges,
Marsh and Associates as Agent for Gordon McShane, the
owner of the property located at 531 Palm Way, Gulf
Stream, Florida, which is legally described as Lot 18,
Polo Cove, Gulf Stream, Florida.
Mark Marsh displayed a color rendering of the proposed structure and
explained that the existing structure is one -story and there are only
two bedrooms and a den. The applicant proposed to add a second -story
over a portion of the garage consisting of a third bedroom with a small
study and a bathroom. This would be a guestroom at this time and
possibly be used in the future for a caretaker. Mr. Marsh called
attention to the position of the addition on the garage, which creates a
stepped transition from single to two -story on the south side (street
elevation) and blends with the existing high roof area centered over the
center of the main house. He added that the design blends with the
existing Gulf Stream Bermuda style by using matching materials,
fenestration and colors, and appears as part of the original design and
not a later addition. Mr. Marsh pointed out that a request for a
Special Exception was being made due to having to extend an existing
nonconforming wall line that had been conforming at the time the home
had been constructed. He closed by stating that the only view of the
home from the street would be the one that is shown on the color
rendering.
Town Manager Garrison stated that the ARPB unanimously recommended
approval of the application, after determining that this was the best
possible solution for the addition.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -June 4, 1999
page 3
Commissioner Hopkins asked if this was the best design available for the
addition and Mr. Marsh replied that it is the best possible to have the
addition appear to be a part of the original structure.
Commissioner Lynch had no objection to the design.
O Commissioner Orthwein asked if the landscaping would be like that shown
on the rendering and Mr. Marsh stated that most of it is existing but
the existing jasmine is shown as bougainvillea. The Commissioner
believed the appearance is improved with the landscape material as shown
in the rendering.
a. SPECIAL EXCEPTION to allow the extension of a non-
conforming wall line.
Commissioner Lynch moved and Commissioner Orthwein seconded that the
special exception be approved for additions to a structure with existing
non - conforming setbacks, based on a finding that the application meets
special exception review criteria and standards for review. Roll Call:
Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins;
AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
b. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL /SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
construction of a 600 foot two -story addition,
consisting of a guest bedroom, bathroom and study,
over the garage of an existing single family dwelling.
Commissioner Lynch moved and Commissioner Orthwein seconded the approval
of a Level 3 Architectural Site Plan Review, based on a finding that the
proposed plans are consistent with special exception review criteria,
and other applicable review standards, subject to the following
conditions: 1) The new driveway entry shall be designed to include a
swale, to prevent the run -off of drainage onto the road and to
facilitate the free flow of drainage across the front of the property.
2) A Construction Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted prior to
the issuance of a building permit application. This plan shall be
reviewed and Approved by the Town Manager and followed during
construction. 3) Landscaping shall be installed as shown on the color
rendering provided at the Town Commission meeting. Roll Call: Comm.
Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE,
and Mayor Koch; AYE.
2. An application submitted by Tim Diamond as Agent for
Delray Ocean Estates, Inc., contract purchaser of the
property currently owned by Bessie and John Connelly, Jr.,
located at 590 Wrightway, Gulf Stream, Florida, which is
legally described as Lot 11, Block 3, Polo Fields Plat #1
Subdivision, Gulf Stream, Florida.
Mr. Shane Ames, Architect for Delray Ocean Estates, Inc., advised that
all setback requirements had been satisfied, and exceeded the minimum in
some instances. He stated that the color on the rendering is misleading
as it will be a much lighter shade, and the front door will be mahogany.
He pointed out that the massing of the structure is to the center and
the design is consistent with others in the neighborhood. Mr. Ames
stated that he was advised that comments have been made that the
structure is very similar to the home next door at 570 Wrightway. He
said that while it is similar in the massing, the appearance is
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -June 4, 1999 page 4
different in that the window arrangement and front entry are different,
the proposed structure has balconies and the garage is configured
differently.
Town Manager Garrison explained that Mr. Ames did not realize that it is
necessary to request a special exception when the covered porch exceeds
the maximum floor area ratio. She reported that the Architectural
O Review and Planning Board recommended approval of the structure provided
a Special Exception is approved at their June meeting.
Commissioner Hopkins advised that he personally did not care for the
design and especially the balconies. He observed that while he was sure
that it met the provisions in the Design Manual, codes do not always
bring about the desired result. He believed that there are times when
subjective questions are necessary.
Commissioner Lynch observed that the massing is the same on both the
structures at 570 Wrightway and the proposed one at 590 Wrightway but
there are many differences in the appearance.
Commissioner Hopkins questioned if this project could be sent to Urban
Design Studios for their review and comment.
Town Manager Garrison advised that other projects have been referred to
Urban Design Studios and she believed this to be a valid consideration.
Mr. Ames advised that Delray Ocean Estates, Inc. is planning to renovate
the home at 600 Wrightway and he displayed a color rendering to show the
difference of design. He explained that this had been taken off the
agenda as they plan to make some changes that would require a variance
to increase the garage size to accommodate 2 vehicles, with a December
submittal expected.
Mayor Koch believed that both 590 and 600 Wrightway should be sent to
Urban Design Studios in order to evaluate how the entire street would
appear when both are constructed between the two existing two -story
homes. Commissioner Orthwein agreed with this suggestion.
Mr. Scott Morgan, the property owner at 570 Wrightway, stated that the
proposed structure is very similar to his home next door. He further
stated that he had planned to point this out in detail but since the
Commission had already voiced similar concerns, he would not take the
time to repeat them. He advised that he settled in Gulf Stream because
he felt that the charm and character of Gulf Stream would be protected.
He was concerned that having homes so nearly alike on the same street
would give a "cookie cutter" appearance like many developments in
Florida end up with.
Commissioner Hopkins agreed with the remarks from Mr. Morgan.
Mayor Koch asked Mr. Ames if he would be able to provide a drawing of
the front elevation of what is planned for 600 Wrightway so that it
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -June 4, 1999
page 5
could be sent to Urban Design Studios along with 590 Wrightway. Mr.
Ames stated that he could do this.
Commissioner Hopkins moved that the proposed projects for 590 and 600
Wrightway be sent to Urban Design Studios for their review and comment,
with further consideration of the project for 590 Wrightway to be on the
agenda for the meeting scheduled on July 16, 1999. Commissioner
O Orthwein seconded the motion. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm.
Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; NAY, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
a. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL /SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
construction of a two -story Bermuda style single
family dwelling consisting of 7,526 square feet.
3. An application submitted by Tim Diamond as Agent for
Delray Ocean Estates, Inc., contract purchaser of the
property currently owned by Bessie and John Connelly, Jr.,
located at 600 Wrightway, which is legally described in
metes and bounds in Sections 3 and 4, Township 46 South,
Range 43 East in Gulf Stream, Florida.
a. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL /SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
construction of a second story addition consisting of
1,562 square feet to an existing Bermuda style single
family dwelling.
This item was withdrawn from the agenda.
IX. Reports.
A. Town Manager
1. AlA Plantings
Town Manager Garrison called attention to the list of dead plant
material that was submitted by Roy- Fisher Associates, Landscape
Architect. Mrs. Garrison then turned to the inspection report from C.
Way Hoyt, the Arborist engaged by the Town to evaluate the AlA Landscape
Project. She apologized for the report not being available prior to the
meeting to give everyone time to study it. Mrs. Garrison advised that
it had not been received until late the prior evening and she had very
quickly read through it just before the meeting. She noted that Mr.
Hoyt commented about the overall project and then specifically listed
twenty -two trees in need of replacement and another 6 that would require
some adjustment.
Mayor Koch directed that Attorney Randolph review the Hoyt report and
then take the necessary action to protect the Town.
Attorney Randolph suggested that the report, along with a letter from
the Town Manager, be sent to the contractor, and that the Town Manager,
Mr.Hoyt and Arazoza Brothers, with whom the Town has had a good
relationship, should try to resolve the matter. He added that if there
was no resolution at this level, the attorney could then become
involved.
Commissioner Hopkins felt the Commission should be present for such a
meeting.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -June 4, 1999
page 6
Commissioner Lynch believed the Town Manager should handle this and
report back to the Commission.
Mayor Koch suggested that copies of the report be given to all parties
involved and then a Special Commission Meeting held with all present.
Commissioner Orthwein favored having the Town Manager try to work it
O out.
Commissioner Devitt believed that efforts should be concentrated on the
specific problems listed and not the entire job. The Commissioners
agreed that Town Manager Garrison would organize a meeting with Mr.
Hoyt, Arazoza Brothers and herself, advising Mayor Koch of the date.
Mayor Koch stated if he was unable to be present, perhaps one of the
other Commissioners could attend. It was further agreed that if
necessary, subsequent to this meeting, a Special Meeting of the
Commission could be called.
Town Manager Garrison reported that she had spoken with Mark Snure,
General Manager of the Gulf Stream Golf Club regarding irrigation of the
Palm trees in the right -of -way along their property, and now had a
letter from him. She was pleased to advise that the Club will install
irrigation on the corner of AlA and Golf View Drive and, while they have
no irrigation on the south west side, they will commit to irrigating the
area should a drought situation occur next fall and winter. Mrs.
Garrison closed by further advising that, while the Club did not request
that the dead Palms in this area be replaced, they did state that they
are anxious to assist the Town in the successful completion of the
beautification plan.
Mayor Koch directed that a thank you letter be forward to the Club.
2. Police Department Step Increase Policy & Salaries
Town Manager Garrison advised that there had been some misunderstanding
as to the mechanics of the "step increases" for police officers. She
explained that these only apply to newly employed officers and there had
not been a turn over since she had been with the Town until this past
year. She went on to explain that, in reviewing previous budget
documents, it had appeared that a 3% increase had been given at each
step. However, when Chief Schultz had recently submitted the first
increase authorization for one of the newly hired officers, the
percentage was considerably higher, which triggered a review of the
1 structure. The Town Manager asked Chief Schultz to explain how the step
' increases were determined, since he had been with the Town at the onset.
Chief Schultz explained that in 1990/1991 there had been a 12 month
probationary period requirement which included an increase over the
starting pay at 6 months and at 12 months, at which time the new officer
would reach the salary level of the senior officers. He further
explained that in 1991 the Commission had directed that an evaluation
system be established on which merit pay increases would be based, as
the Commission did not favor increases based on longevity. In addition,
the Commission did not believe an officer should reach a senior
officer's salary level at the end of one year. As a result, the
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -June 4, 1999 page 7
probationary period was extended to 18 months with a pay increase to be
planned for at the end of each 6 -month interval. The amount of increase
was to be determined by computing the difference between the starting
pay and the senior officers pay, and dividing by three, which would
result in the amount of increase at the end of each of the 6 month
segments.
The Commission asked if there was ever a time that a 6 -month increase
was not given. The Chief replied that this has happened when he felt it
necessary to extend the probationary period.
Town Manager Garrison advised that at first it had appeared that this
would have a large impact on the budget but an in depth analysis has
shown it will only have an impact of approximately $3,500. She pointed
out that if three officers had not retired this year, the overall salary
budget would have been much greater. Mrs. Garrison questioned if the
Commission wanted to continue the current policy for step increases as
outlined by Chief Schultz or consider something else.
Mayor Koch believed the current policy should continue, adding that
Chief Schultz has already told the new officers what they would be
making at the end of 18 months probation.
The other members on the Commission agreed to this, and further agreed
that this could be reviewed each year during budget discussions.
Mayor Koch noted that it has been the policy to give each employee an
annual CPI increase. He stated that when this was first implemented,
the CPI was 3% and it seems that 3% has been used every year thereafter.
He pointed out that the CPI is expected to increase and there would be
unhappy employees if the increase remained at 3 %. He recommended that
the increases be based on the actual CPI, up or down.
The other Commissioners agreed but pointed out that it is not known what
the CPI will be in October when the budget is prepared in June and July.
The Commission determined that 3% would be projected in the budget.
Should the CPI be less than that, there will be a budget surplus.
Should the CPI be more than 3 %, the difference will be taken from the
reserve funds. It was noted that the CPI that is received in October
each year covers the month of August.
f1 Town Manager Garrison advised that the preliminary assessment figures
i have been received from the Property Appraiser and it appears that the
rolled back figure will be 3.8 or 3.9 mills. She felt there will be
approximately $15,000 added revenue due to new construction.
Turning to specific salary items, the Commissioners agreed that all
employees shall receive a CPI increase on the base salary.
Commissioner Hopkins stated he had never discussed an individual's
salary with the individual being present and felt uncomfortable
otherwise.
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Town Commission -June 4, 1999
page 8
Town Clerk Taylor was asked to leave the room with the Town Manager
offering to take notes during discussions.
The Commission agreed with the Town Manager's recommendations for salary
adjustments and increases affecting the secretary, finance director,
maintenance worker and Town Clerk, as shown in the May 1999 draft
budget. Commissioner Lynch further suggested that the Town Clerk be
given an additional week of vacation in her benefit package and the
Commission unanimously agreed.
The Town Clerk returned and Chief Schultz left the room.
Mayor Koch stated that it is customary for the Commission to determine
salaries for the Police Chief and Town Manager. He stated he favored a
3% increase for Chief Schultz in addition to the CPI adjustment.
Commissioner Lynch suggested a 4% increase and Commissioner Orthwein
suggested 3.5 %.
The Manager pointed out that the Chief has been working many overtime
hours for which he receives no additional pay. It was unanimously
agreed that Chief Schultz be given a 4% increase and the CPI adjustment.
Chief Schultz returned and Town Manager Garrison left the room.
Commissioner Lynch remarked that he knew the Town Manager would like
more vacation and he proposed that she be given an additional week and
suggested that her salary be increased $2,000.
Mayor Koch did not agree, adding that her benefits are in line with
other municipalities of this size.
After discussion about the overall compensation package, and the
strengths and weaknesses of the past year's performance, Commissioner
Hopkins moved and Commissioner Lynch seconded that the Town Manager be
given the CPI adjustment and one additional week of vacation added to
her benefit package, and all voted AYE.
Town Manager Garrison returned to the meeting.
Commissioner Lynch left the meeting at 10:50 A.M.
C� 3. B.F.I. collection practices
Town Manager Garrison reported that B.F.I. has been gathering trash bags
in centralized stacks that stand for hours before the truck picks them
up. She stated that she had spoken to the B.F.I. supervisor regarding
this practice but it has continued. Mrs. Garrison then called attention
to a fax from Marie Horenburger of B.F.I. advising that they were
unaware of this and that it has been stopped. The letter advised that
she should be contacted at once if there are any problems in the future.
The Town Manager noted that Marie Horenburger is present and asked her
if she waned to comment. Ms. Horenburger apologized for the
inconvenience to the residents and stated once again that she should be
contacted at once if there are future problems.

Mayor Koch passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Orthwein and left the meeting
to take a phone call.
4. Health Insurance for Fiscal Year 1999/2000
The Town Manager explained that a quote from Blue Cross /Blue Shield has
been received that represents a 21% increase. She stated that a quote
from the Florida League of Cities has been received that is considerably
less, and that other companies have been contacted with regard to rates
that are expected to give quotes in the near future.
Commissioner Devitt moved and Commissioner Hopkins seconded that the
Town Manager be authorized to change health insurance carriers and to
execute the appropriate documents, selecting the carrier that will be in
the best interest of the Town and the Town employees. Roll Call: Comm.
Devitt; AYE, Comm. Hopkins; AYE, and Vice Mayor Orthwein; AYE.

were any questions and there being none, Commissioner Hopkins moved and
Commissioner Devitt seconded that the Financial Report be approved as
circulated and all voted AYE at roll call.
2. Bi- monthly water report
Mrs. Garrison noted that water consumption was very high this period and
stated that it is felt that the drought has had a big impact and there
was also a very large leak beneath a home on Wrightway that is a
contributing factor to the increase in consumption.
Mayor Koch returned to the meeting and Vice Mayor Orthwein returned the
gavel to him.
E. Police Chief
