VI. Adjournment EN CEJ JOINT WORKSHOP MEETING OF THE TOWN COMMISSION AND THE PLANNING BOARD OF THE TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA HELD IN THE TOWN HALL ON TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 1990 AT 4:00 P.M. I. The meeting was called to order at 4:00 P.M. by the Hon. William F. Koch, Jr., Mayor II. Roll Call Present: William F. Koch, Jr Alan I. Armour James E. Cross Lawrence E. Stahl Kathleen S. Wallace William Mayer Charles Eaton William Lynch Joan Orthwein Sherwood Sheehan Also Present: Jay Jurgens Terry Clark Richard Brandt Mayor Vice Mayor Commissioner Commissioner Commissioner Chairman, Planning Board Vice Chairman, Planning Board Board Member, Planning Board Board Member, Planning Board Board Member, Planning Board Town Attorney Resource Engineering/Planning Code Enforcement Officer III. Mr. Terry Clark, Resource Engineering & Planning representative, called attention to the draft of policy amendements that had been sent to the Department of Community Affairs in answer to their objections to the water conservation section of the Comprehensive Plan. He then reviewed a copy of the response from D.C.A. which advised that the proposal from the Town was not acceptable and then listed the amendments that would be acceptable. The most important change was in the percentage of reduction of water consumption. The D.C.A.preferred that there be a 20% reduction by 1992 (as compared to that of 1988/1989), 30% by 1993, 35% by 1995 and 50% by 2000. The remainder of the suggestions were basically langugage changes to reflect the percentage changes. Attorney Jurgens recommended that the Town agree to suggestions of D.C.A. reminding that as the time passes, records will have been kept and if the reductions were not met, the Town would be able to substantiate the reasons they were not and perhaps justify a plan amendment. There were no objections voiced and the Mayor ordered the item be placed on the agenda for April 24, 1990 for official action. IV. Mr. Clark reminded that there are a number of Land Development Regulations to be prepared in order to implement the Comprehensive Plan. He reviewed them pointing out that three of them had been completed by his firm with money received via a Grant from the DCA but needed to be adopted in Ordinance form. Mr. Clark stated that his firm had originally offered to prepare all of the Land Development regulations for a cost of $25,000 to $30,000 and the $10,000 grant would be applied to the cost. lie advised that he would review the estimates and have new computations for consideration at the April 24, 1990 meeting. Mayor Koch asked Mr. Jurgens if his firm would also submit a proposal for the work that is yet to be completed and Mr. Jurgens stated that he would. Commissioner Stahl felt that the three items that had been completed by Resource & Engineering should be adopted in one Ordinance since they are ready, and all others in a second ordinance. Commissioner Armour asked Mr. Clark if he could prepare a time table for accomplishing the wort: that is yet to be completed and adopted. Mr. Clark agreed to do this. Joint Workshop of the Town Commission and page -2- the Planning Board of April 11, 1990 V. Mayor Koch asked the Planning Board to please review the proposed ordinance establishing provisions for lots of less than 20,000 sq. ft., maximum lot coverage, minimum landscape requirements etc. Chairman Mayer asked Mrs. Orthwein to make the presentation since she had be directly involved with the matter. Each section of the Ordinance was discussed. Suggested Changes in the document as presented are as follows: Section 1. (a) - Number the new definition "Landscaped Open Space" in proper sequence in the code and change the. words natural growth to vegetation in the definition. Section 1. - Include in the definitions that the measurement for the setback shall be taken from the wall but that a projection for eves, bay windows and fireplaces not to exceed 216" be permitted into the setback with bay windows being restricted to cover no more than 1/3 of the buildings wall. Section 3. (c) - Remove any reference to Ocean setback requirements from "J. Front Yard Required, and place it in a separate paragraph. Section 3. (g)2.- Change to 12.5' for a one story house to 15'. This makes all side setbacks for lots of less than 20,000 sq. ft. 151. Add language regarding the measurement being taken from the wall, etc. Section 3. (g)4.- Change the last sentence to read "Covered patios, porchs and balconies which are not enclosed shall not be calculated in determining lot coverage. Attorney Jurgens advised he would have a document incorporating the changes prepared for first reading at the April 24, 1990 meeting. Mrs. Orthwein mentioned that she still feels there is something needed to assure continuity of seawalls. Considerable discussion was held. Commissioner Armour stated that he felt there should be provisions to control the amount of flat roof that is permitted. In addition, he question ed if we have anything to control the number of kitchens permitted in a single family dwelling and if not, he felt it should be addressed. The Commission agreed and the staff was asked to research the matter. Phyllis Evans asked to be recognized. Mayor Koch invited her to come forward. Mrs. Evans stated she represented a large group of interested O citizens of Gulf Stream and presented a letter with 30 signatures addres- sing their concerns and suggesting that an effective Landmark Preservation Ordinance and an Architectural Review Board be put into place. She then introduced Barbara Stenson who advised that a Task Force with the support of the Civic Assiciation had been created for the purpose of researching the provisions and the operations covering these areas in surrounding communitie and that a report would be prepared for presentation to the Commission at a workshop session dealing with only, Landmark Preservation & Architectural Review.
