15 percent to 10 percent, which was allowed at the
platting of said lot.
Do we have any response from neighbors?
MR. BRANDT: No, I have no formal response
to the mailing that was sent out to the variance.
I did hear from an attorney. Mr. Pierce, I
believe, is the owner of the property to the south of
this, which makes it the lot that the variance was
given the first time, and I didn't hear from Mr. Pierce,
I heard from his attorney. And, of course, when he
figured it out that it was the lot to the north we are
talking of giving the variance on, and the lot to the
south had already been granted the variance, he had
no further comment.
And that's the extent of what conversation
was had on this.
MR. LYNCH: He was one lot late in complaining?
MR. LYNCH: Have they been out long enough
that we would have had a response?
MR. BRANDT: Oh, yes, sir.
MR. LYNCH: Any discussion?
MRS. ORTHWEIN: Is there anyone here?
MR. BRANDT: Mr. Lamson was going to come in.
I guess he didn't make it.

MR. LYNCH: There are no plans afoot?
MR. BRANDT: No plans afoot submitted; no.
And for the record I might state, according to our
Zoning Ordinances, if this is granted it would only be
for a six -month period. All variances that aren't acted
upon after being put into effect expire in six months
if nothing is done with it.
MR. SHEEHAN: They usually put this in with a
set of plans rather than doing it now. Is this the
normal way to do it?
MR. BRANDT: It's normal to give a variance
to the lot so they know what size house to put on the
lot.
MRS. ORTHWEIN: I don't know how we can
interpret it if there is going to be a hardship. There
is nothing to grant a hardship on.
So I move we deny the variance until that
plan is submitted.
MR. LYNCH: Second?
MR.
SHEEHAN:
Second.
MR.
LYNCH:
All in favor?
Okay.

MR. LYNCH: Gulf Stream Bath and Tennis Club,

occupancy load of 360 persons to 111 parking spaces.
MR. BRIDGES: That's me.
I have been up and seen the Fire Marshal now
at South Palm Beach and the Fire Marshal for the Town
of Ocean Ridge, but unfortunately their Fire Marshal
left them, but they now have a new Fire Marshal in
South Palm Beach.
I went and saw him and discussed the occupancy
of the club which will be 360 persons. We gave him the
seating layout the same as on those plans. He agreed to
that, and the occupancy load will be maximum on that
building of 360.
That is how we arrived at the car - parking
requirements because we have to have that load established
by him. He will not allow any more than 360 in that
building which has been established by him.
A letter should have been here to me about
this, but unfortunately it seems to have been caught up
in the Christmas mail. I don't have the letter, but I
will have it in the next day or so, stating the occupancy
is 360. Fire inspection in excess of that, it will be
stamped 360, and Dick Brandt will have a set of those
vxi
rulings coming through as well. All the exe= =es
_ and
fire extinguishers will be approved by him. So that's
the position.

But we would like to get the variance because
that does hinge on the club's functioning. In actual
fact, it's more than the club has now, eight spaces more
than the club has now, because the spaces have been
properly re- organized there.
MR. LYNCH: The variance, however, is going
to 111 rather than 120; is that correct?
MR. BRIDGES: That's right. 120 is dictated
by the occupancy. The building is the same at the
moment that occupancy allows, and they only have about
102, because they are badly organized. We have re-
organized to more parking spaces so less than actually
are now because of re- organization of the parking.
MR. LYNCH: I would imagine there wouldn't be
very many times when it will be over 333.
MR. BRIDGES: The most they have ever had is
234; that's the most they ever get. That's really all
they want to do. But the Fire Chief has to say that
occupancy because that's what the building is capable
of holding, but that would be the limit in every room,
the snack bar being full, the playroom being full, and
the dining room being full and the grille room being
full, which will never be a case. It's impossible.
MR. LYNCH: Then there won't be any problem
if we were to stipulate at any time occupany is estimated

to be over 333, then we have to have parking not by the
people but by valet?
MR. BRIDGES: It's virtually all by valet. As
I said in my letter, they can all be accommodated on
that, because they just stack them.
MR. LYNCH: Any discussion?
MR. SHEEHAN: 120 is the maximum allowed with
360 persons, right?
MR. BRIDGES: Yes.
MR. SHEEHAN: So that's for insurance purposes?
MR. BRIDGES: No, it's by code of the city.
The city requires it, which is determined by the Fire
Code.
MR. LYNCH: They can park more if they use
valet?
MR. BRIDGES: We want a variance for nine
parking spaces. We don't supply nine of the cars parking
spaces; 120 is required by this code.
MR. SHEEHAN: Most of the time they have valet
anyway?
MR. BRIDGES: Yes. It will never be a problem.
They have got the same amount of members there. They
have been going to have the same amount of members the
club can hold, they nearly got quite as much as the new
one, but it's more split up now, the new one.

MR. FLANNERY: I need to say something to you.
I received a call from the Mayor yesterday,
and he asked if we would get on the information that I
got you today. He said, "Would you see if Planning and
Zoning would take some action on that ?"
And I said to the best of my knowledge Mr.
Randolph's office has not yet had that work, and he
said, "Have it faxed down, and see if you can get them
to act on it."
Well, it wasn't ready until 4:00 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and I went and picked it up and I

couldn't get ahold of you yesterday afternoon, and that's
the reason it is now coming before you.
I personally don't know how you would be able
to do anything with it on this short a notice, but I did
give it my best.
For the record, this is a correspondence from
the Town Attorney, Mr. John Randolph, and in the opening
paragraph of the letter, for the record, it states:
"Dear Frank:
"It is my understanding that the Commission
wishes to amend the Zoning Ordinance to address
lot coverage for lots that are less than 10,000
square feet in area. I am advised that the
Commission desires something along the ordinance
which exists in the Town of Palm Beach."
And the letter and other attached material
goes on from there.
MR. LYNCH: I think it is completely unrealistic
for us to consider something like this in this short a
period of time.
MRS. ORTHWEIN: I agree.
MR. LYNCH: No matter what Mr. Koch thinks it
is or not. In the first place, I disagree in one part
with the letter, because we have approved many buildings
on that size lot, and there hasn't been variances allowed,

and it hasn't appeared to be a hardship at all.
MRS. ORTHWEIN: The lot overage, is it under
the size of the roof?
MR. LYNCH: Under the roof; that's my under-
standing.
MRS. ORTHWEIN: Okay. That would make sense.
MR. FLANNERY: What is your pleasure, Mr.

Zoning Meeting?
MR. LYNCH: Yes. Postpone it.
MRS. ORTHWEIN: Yes.
MR. BRANDT: Bill, before you adjourn, I can't
recall myself and you all were with us on this -- did we
ever do a site plan approval for the Bath and Tennis
Club on their drawings? There was no variance needed.
MR. BRIDGES: There was no variance needed.
MRS. ORTHWEIN: It was grandfathered in,
because we were putting it with existing buildings.
MR. BRIDGES: We need site plan approval, as
far as I know.
MR. BRANDT: There is no variance needed.
MR. LYNCH: My recollection was that we did
approve it.
MR. BRANDT: I thought we did too, that this
plan was approved, and all we do now is come for plan

BE IT REMEMBERED, that the following
proceedings were had before the Planning and Zoning
Board of the Town of Gulfstream, at the Gulfstream
Town Hall, 100 Sea Road, Town of Gulfstream, County
of Palm Beach and State of Florida, beginning at the
hour of 8:30 a.m., on Wednesday, the 10th day of
January, 1990, with appearances as hereinbefore noted.
MR. MAYER: I think you are Chairman of
this group.
MS. ORTHWEIN: If everybody is here
the meeting will come to order.
Mrs. Souder is here, Mr. Lynch, Mr. Mayer
and myself. Is there any discussion on the new
proposed amendment for the Town of Gulfstrem?
MR. MAYER: Are you talking about the one we
have from John?
MS. ORTHWEIN: Yes.
MR. MAYER: I think he hits on a lot of
points that we have been considering and to me, I
have always felt there should have been left in
the Ordinance the fact that the old Ordinance
where you had small lots and John comes out and
tells you that it would preclude a person who has

on the two ten thousand square foot lots, and tha
was the reason they went to the bigger lot size.
MS. ORTHWEIN: That's true.
MR. MAYER: In the Ordinance.
MRS. SOUDER: Joanny, does this go into
anything that land is submerged?
MS. ORTHWEIN: No, we have not even touched
on that issue. That's not even mentioned in this
And that's something -- I don't know how we take
that into account, that is more of a legal
question, do you think?
MRS. SOUDER: It depends on what we are
talking about, for twenty -five percent would it
conclude that?
MS. ORTHWEIN: It would right now.
MR. MAYER: I think it would have to because
people are paying a certain amount for -- that's
underneath the water and people buying it, it's
not their fault either, and people that have it,
it's not their fault either. That's where they
bought it.
MS. ORTHWEIN: The only other thing you
could do is make it buildable lot coverage.
MRS. SOUDER: I wonder if that's something
to look into.

MR. MAYER: We will have to ask Randolph
on that because that could be a very touchy
legal something.
MS. ORTHWEIN: There are some phases in
there, that buildable lot, where the land is
under water, and you are building on almost all
the property.
How do we get in touch with John Randolph?
MR. FLANNERY: Do you need to speak to him
now, sometimes it takes two or three days.
MS. ORTHWEIN: No, there are just some issue
that I was going to write down to talk to him
about.
MR. FLANNERY: 659 -3000. If you would like
to talk to him yourself, but I can get a hold of
him and have him call you, whatever your pleasure
is.
MS. ORTHWEIN: I can call him, too. He is
in Palm Beach?
MR.

on Flagler.
MS.
ORTHWEIN:
No,
but that's a
good thing
to bring up.

about it because that does make quite a bit of
difference. You are talking about people mostly

on the Intracoastal. It depends on where their
lot starts. If it starts submerged and they
get twenty -five percent, they could almost go to
the sea wall.
MS. ORTHWEIN: Yes.
MRS. SOUDER: So I think it's maybe it's
legally we can't do anything about it, but we
should ask him.
MR. LYNCH: Back to the Randolph letter,
explain to me the twenty -five percent and how
it would affect side yard variances.
MS. ORTHWEIN: Well, it wouldn't. What it
would do is probably not allow you to use all
the setbacks because probably if you came in on
a hundred by a hundred and fifteen lot, and you
came in fifteen in the front and fifteen in the
back, you could build a huge house. The footprin
would be much bigger than the twenty -five percent
of their lot coverage. What they are limiting
is the lot coverage. I am not expressing it well
can you express it better, Mr. Mayer?
MR. MAYER: I think what they are trying to
get is a lot of open space.
MS. ORTHWEIN: Yes, you are going to have to
have some kind of yard the size of the setback.

It won't have anything to do with the setback,
the setback will remain the same, fifteen. What
it's doing is governing how much of the lot you
can build on.
MR. MAYER: So you have a certain amount of
open space.
MS. ORTHWEIN: And as I read it, it's
twenty -five percent under air, under roof, so it
does not include if someone wants to build
their whole back yard a patio, this is just
under air or open porch. That's not included --
MR. LYNCH: Under eaves, you aren't counting
eaves?
MR. MAYER: We have limited the eaves in
our new Ordinance.
MS. ORTHWEIN: The twenty -five percent.
MR. MAYER: It's up to, let's see what it
was. Let's see, it was what, it was up to the
building, is that right or not?
MR. LYNCH: It's up to the end of the eaves.
MS. ORTHWEIN: Your setbacks are to the
end of the eaves.
MR. LYNCH: It's probably seventeen to the
house or eighteen.
MR. MAYER: Right.

MS. ORTHWEIN: This doesn't have anything
to do with the setback.
MR. MAYER: I think we ought to leave that
in about the eaves. I don't think we ought to
take that out, do you? The building size to the
eaves, instead of to the building, it's because
they could have the eaves three, four, five feet,
if they wanted to.
MS. ORTHWEIN: And it allows you to build a
bigger mass -wise house with a one story as
opposed to a two story. Primarily, I think
because a two story is more offensive, not
offensive, but bigger than a one story.
MR. FLANNERY: The first time I ever saw
anything like this, and I'm sure you as people
on the Planning and Zoning Committee saw it
before me, and I certainly am not trying to
disturb your meeting; the way I heard it
explained about eighteen years ago over in Naples
was, the taller the building we have in this city
the more green area we want around it, and that'
the simplest way I've ever heard it.
MS. ORTHWEIN: That's a very nice way to put
it. Are there any more comments on this Ordinanc
the proposed Ordinance?

the east side of Gulfstreem, this side, we have

and fifty buildable lots of over twenty thousand
square feet, so you are addressing on this side
of town, ninety -one lots that are under twenty
thousand square foot. On the other side of town,
on the west side, we have ninety -three lots
west of the Intracoastal, of which seventy are
under twenty thousand square feet, or you have
only twenty -three buildable lots over there
without getting a variance on your pre- setup,
and twenty -three on the other side that are over
twenty thousand.

MR. BRANDT: Variance on buildings on
undersized lots, you would have to get a variance
to build on any lot less than twenty thousand
square feet.
MR. MAYER: We have given a variance on
these undersize lots to build. The Ordinance
makes you build a three thousand square foot
building on an undersize lot and you have to give
them a variance, either for that or to build a
smaller house, and we have given variances for
a smaller house.
MR. BRANDT: That's right over on the Place
Au Soleil section, that's the reason over there
in the last five years there are only a few
houses built that are one story, most of them
built over in our section is two story houses in
the last five or six years, in order to get three
thousand square foot of floor space.
MS. ORTHWEIN: Really?
MR. MAYER: Absolutely.
MR. BRANDT: We have another Ordinance that
says you must have three thousand square foot of
floor space in the house. You can't build a
house in town with less than three thousand square

tell them they have to put three thousand square
feet of floor space, the only way to go is up or
else you have to give them a variance to build
less than three thousand square foot, if they
try to stay all in one floor.
MR. MAYER: That's why we have given
variances and why we have two story houses.
MS. ORTHWEIN: How many variances for
building less than three thousand square foot hom
do we have?
MR. BRANDT: I can only think of one off the
top of my head, and this was one house over on
Place Au Soleil that was built less than three
thousand square foot, and it's the one up against
the fence that doesn't have any landscaping.
MR. LYNCH: The one where the lady came in
wanting a pole?
MS. ORTHWEIN: I think you want to keep the
minimum three thousand square feet.
MR. MAYER: I think if we keep them we have
go bear in mind in some instances, we have to
give variances because they might not be able to
build a house with three thousand square feet
without getting variances.

houses are bad looking. I think they look pretty
good, because you have to get it somewhere.

where does their twenty -five percent -- does it
start at the coastal construction line?
MR. MAYER: Yes, you have to, and it's going
to be worse when that new deal comes there.

I understand it will be heavily advertised
before they even enact it, so long about March,
you are going to see ads in the papers and on
TV and that sort of thing.

construction line to the road, but most of the
houses on the ocean have plenty of property, even
though they are massive houses, they seem to
have a lot of property. So it's --
MRS. SOUDER: Not a problem.

small ones.

big enough to handle the requirement, and it's a
funny thing, most of your bigger lots are south
of the golf course.
MR. BRANDT: You have another restriction on
the ocean, it's not to the front of the property
line. We have from the center line of AlA, we
have a seventy -eight foot setback on record and
then we still require twenty -five percent from
the front of the propery line to the front of the
house, so you have two setbacks. You have two
setbacks you are working with out in the ocean
property on the front, and the coastal constructs :
line on the rear.
MS. ORTHWEIN: That was the next issue I was
going to take up. Maybe we will go straight
with the seventy -eight foot setback from the
center line of AlA. Do you know what I mean?

which other is greatr.
