Page 2
Assistant Town Attorney Hogan explained that inasmuch as there are only
4 of the 5 members of the Town Commission /Board of Adjustment present,
applicants may request a postponement until such time as there is a full
Board present. There were no postponements requested.
A. Applications for Development Approval
1. An application submitted by David Frank, as Agent for A.
Hopkins and Ingrid Kennemer Jr., the owners of property
located at 810 Tangerine Way, Gulf Stream, Florida, which
is legally described as Lot 17, Place Au Soleil
Subdivision.
Ingrid Kennemer explained that her Agent was unable to attend the
meeting and she would be presenting the application. Mrs. Kennemer
first explained that the roof pitch on the elevation drawing is
incorrectly shown as 4:12 pitch but is actually 5:12 as required by
Code. She then called attention to the amended elevation drawings
incorporating most of the recommendations made by the Architectural
Review and Planning Board, those being; 1) The hex windows in the foyer,
one on the front and one on the right side elevation, have been reduced
in size and the small hex window on the front elevation has been
replaced with a rectangular window. 2) Shutters have been added to the
side elevations to match those in the front. 3) The solid flush door
will be replaced with a multi -panel door. 4) Decorative quoins have been
added as a corner treatment. 5) the horizontal panel garage doors will
be replaced with rectangular panel doors. Mrs. Kennemer closed by
advising that they do not wish to utilize exposed rafter tails as had
been suggested by the ARPB.
Maria Storts, speaking from the audience, advised that she lives in back
of this location and there is a flowering tree near the rear property
line that is a rare variety. She hoped it would be saved but advised
that it is much too large and should be shaped.
Mrs. Kennemer advised that they realize the property is in need of
landscape maintenance and Mrs. Storts' comments will certainly be taken
into consideration.
a. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL /SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
construction of a two -story Gulf Stream Bermuda style
single - family dwelling consisting of 4,256 sq. ft.
Commissioner Devitt moved and Commissioner Lynch seconded to approve the
r-, Level 3 Architectural /Site Plan Review, based on a finding that the
proposed plan as amended to include the changes just described by Mrs.
Kennemer meets the minimum intent of the Design Manual, and applicable
review standards with the following conditions: 1) The finished floor
elevation shall be determined by spot elevations and certified to comply
with code; 2) Pool safety barriers shall be installed to conform to
current codes; 3) Roof tiles shall be "flat, white, cement tiles "; and
4) Color samples shall be provided for approval of staff. Roll Call:
Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE and Mayor Koch;

b. LAND CLEARING PERMIT to remove existing trees from the
building pad.
Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Lynch seconded the approval
of a Land Clearing Permit as requested. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE,
Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE and Mayor Koch; AYE.
2. An application submitted by Randall Stofft, as Agent for
Anthony Pugliese, owner of the property located at 3145 N.
Cl Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Florida, which is legally
described as the south 313.03 ft. of Lot 3, Gulf Stream
Ocean Tracts Subdivision.
Town Clerk Taylor administered the Oath to Randall Stofft who had just
arrived.
Mr. Stofft explained that the positioning of the pool house was dictated
by the location of the existing structure, which encroaches into the
rear setback. He pointed out that the pool house would not encroach on
the 1978 Coastal Construction Control Line. In addition, the spa and
moat that would encroach over the CCCL is at ground level and would not
be seen off -site. Mr. Stofft noted that the existing structures have a
considerable amount of space that is not usable but that must be counted
in the FAR calculation. He felt the requested additions are the least
that would make the structures livable by current standards.
Mayor Koch questioned if the planned generator would conform to the Code
and what type of fuel would be used to operate it, adding that the noise
from generators is presenting a problem.
Mr. Pugliese advised that the property line is 12 '1 feet beyond the
existing wall and the generator would be inside the wall and would not
be higher than the wall. Mr. Stofft added that, while the unit has not
yet been selected, it would be powered by propane gas and would not be
large enough to power everything on the property, just the essential
things. He further advised that there has been a great improvement in
these units in the last few years that has resulted in them being much
less noisy.
Mayor Koch asked the Town Manager to review the recommendations.
The Town Manager explained that the Staff had recommended approval of
the Special Exception and the AlA Corridor Permit, denial of all
variance requests, and approval of the Level 3 Architectural /Site Plan
Review with adjustments dictated by the denial of the variances,
provided that patios, decks and pools have no elevation greater than 8"
above grade with spot elevations provided indicating this condition has
been met, and pool safety barriers are installed to conform to current
codes.
Mr. Thrasher then reported that the ARPB had recommended approval of the
Special Exception, the AlA Corridor Permit and Variance #3 to construct
a moat within the 15' rear setback. He further reported they
recommended to deny Variance #2 to construct a spa & fountain within the
Town Commission - Regular Meeting
October 19,2001
Page 4
rear setback and to approve Variance #1 to exceed the FAR by 1,201
square feet, as opposed to the requested 2,401 sq. ft., provided the
ceiling of the second story of the existing garage does not exceed 6 1.1
ft. in height and all windows are covered on the inside to become a part
of the wall, thus meeting the definition of an attic. In addition,
approval of the Level 3 Architectural /Site Plan Review was recommended
with adjustments dictated by the action taken with regard to the
variances, provided that patios, decks and pools have no elevation
greater than 8" above grade with spot elevations provided indicating
this condition has been met, pool safety barriers are installed to
conform to current codes and landscape material is installed to assure
that none of the minor accessory structures and recreational structures
and features are visible from State Road AlA or adjacent property.
The Commissioners expressed concern that if the windows were covered on
the inside, to be a part of the wall, it would be unsightly from the
outside.
a. SPECIAL EXCEPTION to permit the addition of a pool
House to the existing structure with a nonconforming
rear setback.
Commissioner Lynch moved and Commissioner Devitt seconded that the
Special Exception to allow extending the pool house into the 15 -foot
rear setback approximately 8' be granted in that the review standards
for a Special Exception had been met. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE,
Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE and Mayor Koch; AYE.
b. VARIANCES
(1) To permit construction of a pool house and a
two -story 3 car garage with staff quarters that
would exceed the maximum permitted floor area
ratio by 2,401 square feet.
Commissioner Lynch moved to approve a variance to exceed the maximum
permitted floor area ratio by 1,201 square feet provided the ceiling of
the second story of the existing garage does not exceed 6 '1 ft. in
height and all windows are covered on the inside with permanently closed
shutters. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Orthwein. Roll Call:
Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE and Mayor Koch;
AYE.
(2) To permit construction of a spa /fountain within
the required 15 -foot rear setback and seaward
of the rear property line and Coastal
Construction Control Line.
�i Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Devitt seconded that the
request to construct a spa /fountain within the required 15 foot rear
setback and seaward of the rear property line and Coastal Construction
Control Line be denied in that a hardship had not been proven. Roll
Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; AYE and Mayor
Koch; AYE.
(3) To permit construction of a moat that is
located within the required 15 -foot rear

(1) Architectural renovations to existing Mediter-

with applicable review standards, subject to the following conditions:
1) The Floor Area Ratio shall be reduced by 1,200 square feet as
provided in the granting of the variance; 2) The rear spa and fountain
planned for construction within the rear setback shall be eliminated; 3)

grade and spot elevations shall be provided indicating that this
condition has been met; 4) Pool safety barriers shall be installed to

3. An application submitted by Raymond Balassiano as Agent
for Safwat Fahmy, owner of the property located at 2500
Avenue Au Soleil, Gulf Stream, Florida, which is legally
described as Lot 53, Place Au Soleil Subdivision.
Inasmuch as there were no representatives in attendance to present this
request, the Town Manager advised that Staff recommended denial of the
variance based on a finding that the proposed roof material does not
meet the applicable review standards (metal roof materials are
prohibited). The Staff also recommended denial of the Level 3
Town Commission - Regular Meeting
October 19,2001
Page 6
Architectural Site Plan Review Amendment, based on a finding that the
proposed roof material does not meet the applicable review standards.
Mr. Thrasher reported that the ARPB recommendations are the same as
those made by the Staff.
A sample of the proposed roof material was displayed and the Town
O Manager advised that Mr. Fahmy believed he had a hardship in that he
felt the proposed material was better than anything else on the market
and would better protect him, his furnishings and the integrity of the
structure.
The Commissioners were in agreement that the material is metal and that
metal roofs are prohibited. They were also in agreement that this
material should be investigated at length at such time as Code
amendments are considered.
Commissioner Orthwein asked if the Place Au Soleil Association had
reviewed this request and was advised that they are opposed to the use
of the material.
Commissioner Lynch believed it would be unfair to ask an owner to wait
until there is a Code review for a determination. Mayor Koch commented
that this material looks much better than asphalt shingles and is a
lightweight material that could be used on structures that were not
designed to bear the load of cement or clay tile.
a. VARIANCE to permit installation of a metal fabricated
Roof tile in place of the previously approved wood
shakes.
Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Devitt seconded that the
variance request be denied, based on a finding that the proposed roof
material does not meet the applicable review standards. Roll Call:
Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm. Lynch; NAY and Mayor Koch;
NAY. Attorney Hogan advised the request is denied in that a vote of
three Commissioners would be necessary to grant the request.
b. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL /SITE PLAN REVIEW AMENDMENT to
replace the previously approved wood shake roof on the
existing two -story contemporary structure with metal
fabricated roof tile.
Commissioner Orthwein moved and Commissioner Devitt seconded to deny the
Level 3 Architectural /Site Plan Review Amendment, based on a finding
that the proposed roof material does not meet the applicable review
standards. Roll Call: Comm. Orthwein; AYE, Comm. Devitt; AYE, Comm.
Lynch; NAY and Mayor Koch; NAY. The amendment was not approved.
