Mr. Lynch called attention to an error on page 10 line 18 of the minutes of January 10, 1990 wherein the word "pole" was used when in fact the word should have been "pool". Mrs. Orthwein moved that the minutes of the Special Meeting of January 10, 1990 be approved as amended by Mr. Lynch. The motion was seconded by Mr. Lynch and all voted AYE. IV. Chairman Mayer advised that unless there was an objection, he would like to add the consideration of the proposed "Landmark Ordinance" as part of Item VIII. There were no objections. V. PUBLIC HEARING A. Variances 1. Dr. William Chardack, 547 Golfview Drive, requesting a variance from the provisions of Section X. of Ordinance 83-1 as amended by Ordinanace 84-7, Subsection H to permit installation of a satellite dish antenna which would encroach 11.5 ft. into the required 22.5 ft. side yard setback. Johnathan Knapp,Agent for Dr. Chardack explained that it was necessary to request the variance since there was no other location at which it could be placed. He stated that the dish must face to the west for reception, that it could not be seen from the east due to the house blocking the view, and that it could not be seen from the water or the west due to there being a very thick, tall hedge and other plantings to act as a screen. Regular meeting of Planning Board, February 7, 1990 page -2- Mr. Eaton questioned if the notices to the neighbors had been sent by certified mail. Mr. Brandt answered that they were sent regular mail as the codes do not require that it be certified and added that no reply had been received, nor had any official objections been raised. Mr. Eaton felt the notices should be Certified. There was no comment from the public and Mrs. Orthwein moved that the Planning Board Qrecommend to the Town Commission that the request be denied. The motion was seconded by Mr. Eaton. Roll Call: Mrs. Orthwein, Yea; Mr. Eaton, Yea; Mr. Lynch, Nay; Chairman Mayer, Yea. B. Special Exceptions 1. Gulf Stream Bath & Tennis Club, 925 N. Ocean Blvd., requesting permission to place a mobile office on the property legally described as Lot 15A of revised Plat of Blocks D & E, Palm Beach Shore Acres Subdivision. Mr. Nichols, representing the Gulf Stream Bath & Tennis Club explained that the reconstruction project that will soon comment will take a considerable amount of time and during that time, it is necessary that the managment of the Club be provided with a facility to carry on limited activities associated with the club. He also advised that an individual was being hired to expedite the project and it was thought beneficial to have an office from which he could operate on site. A question was raised from the audience as to the size of the unit. The answer was that it would be 441x12'. When asked if it could be smaller, Mr. Nichols advised that careful consideration had been given to size and it had been determined that the size as proposed was necessary. He added that it would be landscaped and awnings would be installed. Mr. Lynch moved to recommend that the request be granted, seconded by Mr. Eaton and all voted AYE. VI. Site Plan`Review A. Dr. William Chardack, 547 Golfview Drive -Location of Satellite Dis4 Inasmuch as the variance request was recommended to be denied, no site plan review was necessary. O B. Gulf Stream Bath & Tennis Club- 925 N. Ocean Blvd. -Location of a mobile office unit. The location of the mobile office was decided in the action taken under the Special Exception Hearing and no further site plan review was necessary. Regular meeting of Planning Board, February 7, 1990 page -3- VI. Site Plan Review Continued C. Dr. George Mueller, 3180 Polo Drive -Construction of a dock and dolphins. Digby Bridges, Agent for Dr. Mueller explained that the proposed dock meets all requirements of the Town Code and the Plat Restrictions, noting that the property line extends into the water by 5 feet and the dock would be constructed within the five feet. He went on to advise that the location for the dolphins had been determined by bisecting the angle and placing them 18' from the property line, in State water. Stony Windel, the adjacent neighbor to the west, was recognized and he stated his objection to the location of the dolphins. He felt that while the placement meets the code requirements, some consideration should be given to the safety factor by moving the dolphins 5' to the south. Mr. Eaton felt that Mr. Windel should speak directly to Dr. Mueller. Mr. Bridges replied that he was authorized to speak for Dr. Mueller and he felt that to move the dolphins would create an equal hazard to the south. Mr. Windel acknowledged that his dock was larger than permitted but added that it was there when he purchased the property and he assumed it was grandfathered. Mr. Brandt advised that he had checked the records and had discovered that the dock in question had been installed without a permit or variance. Mr. Bridges stated that in attempt to solve the matter, he would agree to move the dolphins a maximum of 2' to the south. Mr. Windel agreed this would be some help. Mr. Lynch moved that approval of the request be recommended with the provision that the dolphins be moved 2' south of the location shown on the drawings. The motion was seconded by Mr. Eaton. Roll Call: Mrs. Orthwein abstained from voting and Form 89 will be a part of the record as executed by Mrs. Orthwein. Mr. Eaton, Yea; Mr. Lynch, Yea; Chairman Mayer, Yea. D. William Voute, 2999 N. Ocean Blvd. -Construction of an 8' high privacy wall. Digby Bridges, Agent for Mr. Voute explained that the wall would be in keeping with the design of the new dwelling to be built, with the property owner directly adjacent not objecting to the structure. Mr. Brandt advised that Mr. Wooley, the adjacent property owner had reviewed the plan and has no objection. Mr. Lynch moved to recommend the approval of the site plan, secondee by Mr. Eaton and all voted AYE. OE. Charles Velie, 505 School Road -Construction of a single family dwelling. Digby Bridges, Agent for Mr. Velie stated that no variances are required for the proposed structure. It was questioned if the structure would meet the code provisions that are now under consideration. Mr. Brandt advised that it would since the proposed provisions are less restrictive than the current Mr. Lynch moved that the Planning Board recommend that site plan approval be granted as requested, seconded by Mr. Eaton and all voted AYE. Regular meeting of Planning Board, February 7, 1990 page -4- VII. Items by Staff Chairman Mayer called attention to the report of construction in progres that had been distributed. There being no questions, the Chairman moved to the next item on the agenda. QVIII. Items by Board Members Chairman Mayer referred to the proposed ordinance for landmark preservation and asked Mrs. Krolick to please come forward. Mrs. Krolick reviewed the proposed document for the Board and members of the public, noting that the purpose is to attempt to preserve the dwellings of historical interest that are 50 years old or older and to establish historical districts. The landscape portion would establish a district for the trees along AlA and possibly for the Oleander area. She pointed out that the document provides that a survey of the Town be completed to designate those areas and structures that fall under the provisions of the proposed ordinance and that the funds to cover that would come from a fund raising drive. There was considerable discussion at the Board level with all agreeing that the document in present form was much too lengthy and that there should be no designation made unless the property owner agreed to such designation and the restrictions attached. It was also felt that if such a document was prepared, there should be no provision for any outside influence in the implementation or enforcement of the ordinance. Mrs. Krolick advised that she would be in touch with Mr. Randolph to convey the thoughts of the Planning Board. IX. Public Jane Orthwein was recognized and called attention to the changing community. She stated she had observed that in the past most everone in Town wanted to conform with what had always been accepted and enjoyed but that now some have different tastes which in itself may not be bad but that some basic guidelines should be established to make for an esthetic blend and suggested an architectural review board. Chairman Mayer and Mr. Brandt explained that the site plan review process accomplished much of what Mrs. Orthwein was suggesting. It was then suggested that perhaps a review board would not be necessary but O that some additional restrictions be added to the zoning code to control items such as, flat roofs, chain link fences, gravel driveways, etc. Several persons spoke in favor of the Landmark Preservation Ordinance and additional controls for development. Those were: Mary Windel, Jeanne Breazeale, and Perry O'Neal, all Town residents. Mrs. Krolik was recognized by the Chair. She stated that she had failed to mention that several of the persons owning homes that would be considered historical structures had been consulted regarding their feelings on such legislation and their remarks had been positive. Chairman Mayer thanked everyone for their interest and remarks regarding the Landmark Ordinance and the development of the Town in general. O N Regular meeting of Planning Board, February 7, 1990 X. Adjournment Mr. Lynch voted AYE. 10:30 A.M. page -5- moved for adjournment, seconded by Mrs. Orthwein and all Chairman Mayer adjourned the meeting at approximately Franklin E. Flannery Town Manager
