IV. Summary of the 1999 Revisions to the Design Manual and Land
Development Regulations as recommended by the ARPB. Town Manager
Garrison reminded that at the time the Design Manual was adopted, it was
decided that there should be a review of the Manual every two years.
She advised that this is the second review. Mrs. Garrison reported that
for the past two years she has been saving all comments and questions
regarding the Manual from not only the ARPB and Commissioners, but from
architects and property owners as well. The Town Manager stated that
each of these have been addressed by the ARPB and recommendations made
which have been incorporated in proposed Ordinance No. 99/3. The Town
Manager advised that a few sections have also been included without
recommendations for joint discussion.
Commissioner Hopkins questioned if input from architects might be
helpful. Mrs. Garrison stated that copies could be furnished to those
architects who frequently design in the Town.
Chairman Wheeler stated that many of the items included in the proposed
amendments are as a result of questions from the architects.
It was agreed that each section of the proposed ordinance would be
considered individually.

be aooroved as circulated and all voted AYE at Roll Call.
IV. Additions, withdrawals, deferrals, arrangement of agenda items.
Town Manager Garrison requested that Items VII A. & B. be heard
at this time due to the number of persons present who are interested in
these matters. There were no objections.
VII.A. Authorization for a change in Engineering Services.
Town Manager Garrison advised that she and Mr. Thrasher have interviewed
several engineering firms and she is recommending that an agreement be
executed with Mathews Consulting, Inc. for these services. She
explained that the fees are reasonable and the firm has had experiences
with other Towns who have experienced similar problems to those in Gulf
Stream. She further explained that this agreement does not preclude the
Town from engaging other engineering firms to handle specific projects.
Mrs. Garrison believed a fresh approach was needed with regard to the
drainage problems. She then introduced Rene Mathews who stated she was
pleased at having been recommended for this position and looked forward
to the challenge. Ms. Mathews then introduced her partner, David
Mathews.
Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Lynch seconded to enter
into the Agreement for Engineering Services with Mathews Consulting,
Inc. and to authorize the Mayor to execute same. Roll Call: Comm.

VII.B. Authorization for a Preliminary Engineering Analysis in
Consultation with the S. Florida Water Management Dist.
The Town Manager requested authorization to have Mathews Consulting,
Inc. do a preliminary engineering analysis of the drainage problems in
C\ the Core District and consult with South Florida Water Management Dist.
J on an informal basis to determine if they would permit storm water to be
drained into the Intracoastal under certain circumstances. She reported
that previous drainage studies looked at a direct outfall on Wrightway
from Elsie's Pond but the Water Management District had not been
contacted to determine if this could be permitted.
Mayor Koch noted that there have been several drainage studies regarding
this problem in past years, all by different engineers, and each of them
recommended collecting the water in the ponds at the Little Club and
draining it into the Intracoastal Waterway. He pointed out that for the
past several years this has been restricted by the S. Florida Water
Management District. He believed that as a first step toward helping
the drainage problem, it must be determined if there is a place to
dispose of the storm water. The Mayor went on to state that while this
problem may be reduced, it will never be totally solved as some of the
street elevations are below the high tide line.
Mr. Barrant Merrill, 3525 Polo Drive, was recognized. He noted that
during the recent hurricane the flooding was the worst it has ever been.
He understood that the pumps for the lakes on the Little Club Property
were not functional when the electricity went off and that the master
lift station for the private sewer system was also without power,
causing raw sewage to spill into the streets. He requested that
something be done to see that generators are installed to prevent a
recurrence of these problems.
Mayor Koch explained that he had already met with the Little Club and
with officials involved with the sewer system regarding generators. He
advised that the Sewer Association is in the process of obtaining bids
for a generator that may be housed in the Town Hall garage. He further
advised that the Little Club is interested in a generator that will also
keep their freezers running. Mayor Koch explained that the Town has an
agreement with the Little Club that the Town pays for 43% of the cost of
operating the storm drainage system, which would include the purchase of
a generator. However, the Mayor stated that the Town would not be in a
position to fund a portion of what it would take to run the freezers.
He felt certain that this would be resolved.
Mr. Merrill stated that he was not aware that this was already being
handled and that he is pleased that it is this far along. In closing,
Mr. Merrill commended the police department in their handling of the
problems during the flood.
Regular Meeting -Town Commission
November 19, 1999

Charles Velie, 455 Old School Road, was the next speaker. Mr. Velie
called attention to the seriousness of the flooding, involving 40 to 50
homes. He advised that not only was he unable to get in or out of his
home due to high water, but was without electricity for at least 24
hours. He did not believe that this couldn't be solved and advised that
the City of Delray had a similar problem in the Basin Drive and Vista
Del Mar neighborhoods and the Town installed pumps and paid for the
project. He felt the Town of Gulf Stream should pay whatever it takes
to solve this problem.
Thomas Crocker, 3580 Polo Drive, was recognized and stated that he was
pleased that the Commission is working on the problem. Mr. Crocker said
that he was not aware that this has been worked on for so long,
referring to previous studies and minor projects related to flooding.
He suggested that unusual circumstances such as the 18" of rainfall in 6
hours, could not be fully addressed and the daily problems of standing
water should be addressed. He advised that he had an engineer look at
the drainage problem at his property and it was discovered that the
Little Club closes the backflow preventors from time to time, which
holds the water on the streets. He added that there may be times that
this is a necessary function of the system but suggested it be
investigated. He encouraged the Commission to continue on with what has
been started, but to get a broad understanding of the entire problem.
Mr. Crocker closed by offering to help in any way he can.
Randy Ely, 3110 Polo Drive, noted that the previous speakers had covered
many of the points that he planned to address but he wanted to point out
that flooding problems have an effect on property values. He advised
that when selling a property, flooding problems must be disclosed to the
buyer, resulting in a reduction of property values. Mr. Ely then
inquired about shutting off the outfall at Polo Drive north of Banyan
that backs up during high tide. He too was pleased to hear the
Commission was actively seeking a solution and urged them to keep moving
forward.
Mayor Koch did not agree that property values were being affected in
Gulf Stream, pointing out that there are very few for sale. With regard
to funding a drainage project, the Mayor displayed a large map that had
been prepared by an engineer that showed how much of the Town drained
toward Elsie's Pond on the Little Club property. He advised that in the
past, funding for projects had always been shared with the Town paying a
portion and the properties receiving the benefits of the project paying
a portion. Mayor Koch thanked the speakers for sharing their thoughts
and taking an interest in solving the problem.
There were several persons who spoke from the floor and did not identify
themselves. All were encouraging the Commission to continue to move
forward on finding a solution and taking action. Several were insistent
that the Town assume ownership and control of the private sewer system
along with solving the drainage problem.
Regular Meeting -Town Commission
November 19, 1999

Mayor Koch advised that this request was studied previously by engineers
and attorneys and it was determined not to be feasible. He pointed out
that this system is not the type of system that is installed by
municipalities. Towns install gravity systems that require much less
maintenance. He noted that in a straw poll of property owners regarding
installation of a sewer system, a large majority was not in favor of a
municipal sewer system.
OCommissioner Hopkins thought that perhaps the matter of a sewer system
and storm drainage system should be studied at the same time.
Mayor Koch believed that the Town should first find a place to put the
storm water before expanding the study.
The Commission agreed that Mathews Consulting, Inc. should be furnished
with records of previous studies related to sewers and storm drainage,
with a progress report to be presented and the December meeting.

Mrs. Garrison reported that much of the chain link fence around the
Sanctuary has been damaged by the last storm and it appears that the
replacement /repair of the fence will be less than $1,500.00.
b. Trimming along canal (resident request)
It was reported by the Town Manager that the resident at the end of the
canal that is south of the Sanctuary has requested that the growth from
the Sanctuary that overhangs the canal be cutback. She then distributed
pictures and added that the resident asked permission to conduct the
trimming in the event the Town decided not to do it.
The Commissioners noted that this is a private canal and gave permission
for the resident to do the necessary trimming up to the edge of the
seawall.

IX. Public. Mr. Van Dinter, 960 Emerald Row, explained that he
had purchased this property, which is directly adjacent to the
Intracoastal Waterway, one year ago and is now planning to purchase a
boat. He noted that the water is so rough that he feels it necessary to
install a boatlift. He explained that the lift he wants to install is
supported on 8 pilings approximately 5 feet from the seawall, which is
not permitted by Code. He requested that the Commissioners consider a
change in the Code and displayed a picture of the proposed lift.
Town Manager Garrison explained that the Code provides that anything
with a lifting power of over 500 pounds must be attached to the seawall.
The Commission directed that this request be forwarded to the ARPB for a
recommendation.
