Agent for Gerry Lepkanich requesting permission to place
a construction trailer on the construction site at 3223
N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. which would be located
approximately 30' from the front property line and
approximately 40' from the North side property line at
the address aforementioned.
Mr. Richard Brooks, appearing as the Agent in the absence of Sam Caliendo,

the front wall would be the first item to be constructed in order to
screen the trailer. He indicated that would take only a few weeks.
f' Perry O'Neal, speaking from the audiance, questioned why the existing
barrier of seagrape plants on the south side had been removed since
it had been represented by the applicants previously that they would be
remaining in place. Staff was directed to review the landscape design
that had been approved for the project.
Mrs. LaPorte moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that

B. Variance
1. William Wallace, 1200 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream,
F1. requesting a variance to permit the construction
of a boat dock which would extend to the south property
line, encroaching 36.25 into the side setback, at the
address aforementioned.
Mr. Wallace explained that his property is at the end of the canal and
` J the owner of the adjacent property, R. Scott Morrison, Jr., has reviewed
the plans and has no objection, as evidenced by the letter from Mr.
Morrison that is a part of the variance application. Mr. Wallace
pointed out that his property has a unique shape and that his property
line on the west extends 20' into the canal. He believed that there
is no other like it in Town.
Scott Harrington, Code Enforcement Officer advised that the staff
recommends that the variance be granted as requested however, he pointed
out that the width of the proposed dock is 7' and while there is no
provision in the Town Code for a maximum width of docks, 5' in width
has been the policy in the past. He added that in this instance, the
dock was being constructed totally on Mr. Wallaces' property with his
property line extending into the water by 20'. Dr. True moved that the
Board recommend to the Town Commission that the variance be granted as
requested, seconded by Mrs. LaPorte. Roll Call; Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs.
LaPorte; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE.
VI. Site Plan Review
A. Sam Caliendo, Agent for Gerry & Mary Lepkanich-Placement of
a construction trailer at 3223 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1.
Mrs. LaPorte moved and Dr. True seconded that it be recommended to the
Town Commission that the site plan covering the placement of a construction
trailer be approved as submitted. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs.
LaPorte; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE.
B. William Wallace, 1200 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. -
Construction of a 7' wide boat dock.
Dr. True moved and Mr. McGraw seconded that the ARPB recommend to the
Town Commission that the site plan be approved as presented. Roll Call:
Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. LaPorte; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, and Chairman
Orthwein; AYE.
C. Bill Rosenberg, Rosenberg Design Group, 10749 S.W. 104th St.,
Miami, F1. 33176 as Agent for Mr. & Mrs. Bruce McKinney, 3603
N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. - Renovations to existing
dwelling, driveway and landscaping.
Mr. Rosenberg explained that they are proposing to change the existing
garage door to face AlA rather than facing south as it now does. He went
on to say that the door is now able to been seen thru the driveway
entrance but that in making the change, it will be concsaled with existing
and additional new plantings. There is planned to be a connecting hall-
way between the living room and family room, the driveway configuration
changed -and resurfaced,>dziveway bntrance columns and a gate added,
addition of 90 sq. ft. of pool deck, and the installation of a land-
scape feature consisting of rock outcrops, small ponds and waterfalls.
Mrs. LaPorte questioned the logic in having so many waterfalls in view
of the Town's efforts toward water conservation. Mr. Rosenberg advised
that the water features are recirculating and that all told, utilize
about 3 bathtubs full of water. Mrs. LaPorte further questioned if
the lighting on top of the driveay entrance columns would be too
bright and distract drivers on AlA. Mr. Rosenberg stated that they will

be about the same as those currently existing along AlA. Mrs. LaPorte
and Chairman Orthwein questioned the proposed design of the gate,
observing that it was not very traditional, and asked if this design
was to be painted in different colors. Mr. Rosenberg advised that a
firm decision had not been reached with regard to the design as the
owner has been out of town. He said it would not be painted and he
would design a more traditional style for consideration if it was the
wish of the Board. Mr. McGraw moved and Mrs. Laporte seconded that
the ARPB recommend to the Town Commission that the project be approved
as requested with the exception of the design of the gate, with a
more traditional design to be presented for consideration. Amy Butler,
speaking from the audience felt all additional reviews should be post-
poned until the pending ordinances were in place. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw;
AYE, Mrs. LaPorte; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, Chairman Orthwein; AYE.
D. Carr Driveways, 612 Industrial Ave., Boynton Beach, F1.,
Agent for W. Grant Williams, 3145 Polo Drive, Gulf Stream, F1. -
Addition of a circular driveway and landscaping improvements.
Mr. David Procter, owner of Carr Driveways, advised that as the drive-
way now exists, vehicles are forced to back into the roadway. Mr. Williams
desires to install a circular driveway and additional landscaping. Scott
Harrington, Code Enforcement Officer/Planner, called attention to the
staff recommendation that the maximum width of the driveway be reduced
from the 20' width requested to 18' as it appears a little out of pro-
portion with the dwelling. He further advised that the property does
not not retain the first inch of rainfall as required and an engineer
engaged by Mr. Williams has stated that with the plans as presented,
that problem will not be increased but may even be improved. With
reducing the width of the driveway, it will be improved even more. He
explained that the staff had considered the failure to provide for
retention of the first inch of rainfall on this property and on Mr.
McKinney's property a non conformity and felt that if the improvements
did not increase the degree of non conformity, a variance would not be
necessary, adding that this conculsion had been voiced to ATtorney
Randolph who concurred in this interpretation. Dr. True pointed out
that the drawings for the Williams improvements also provided for a
drainage improvement in the rear yard. Mrs. LaPorte moved for the ARPB
to recommend to the Town Commission that the site plan be approved
providing the maximum width of the driveway is reduced to 18' and the
drainage design as presented is followed. The motion was seconded by
Mr. McGraw. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. LaPorte; AYE, Dr. True;
AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE.
VII. Informal Review
A. Mark Marsh of Digby Bridges & Associates, Agent for Jane
Speer, 2817 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. requesting an
informal review of a proposed plan to construct a single
family dwelling on the south 100' of the property at the
address aforementioned.
Mr. Marsh explained that he had appreared in December, 1990 requesting
a site plan review and a variance for this same property and approval
had been granted. However, he said that the variance had now expried
and a different site plan was being proposed. In view of that he had
asked for an informal review to get the feelings of the Board before
he prepared new applications and completed the drawings. Mr. Marsh
stated that the project as proposed is to split off the south 100' of
a 300' parcel which contains a single family dwelling and accessory
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
Architectural Review and Planning Board page
July 17, 1991
structures on the north 2001. In removing the south 100' several non
conformities are created at the south property line of the 200' parcel.
In fact, the south bath house extends across the line onto the 100'
parcel. He stated that the previous variance required removal of the
south bath house and granted a right for all other non conformities
created at the new south property line to remain, one of which is the
O swimming pool. In addition, Mr. Marsh stated that they would be re-
questing a variance for the proposed pool on the south 100' to extend
3 feet into the north side yard setback, and a variance to permit the
maximum lot coverage to be at 26% rather than the 25% that is required.
He cited as the hardships, the fact that there is a 4 story apartment
adjacent to the south, making any use of the south side yard impossible,
and the fact that the lot coverage is computed from the CCCL rather
than the property line which runs to the high tide line of the Atlantic
Ocean. Mr. Marsh further advised he would be requesting a waiver from
"zoning in progress" restructions to permit the maximum height of the
finished floor to be at +17' rather than the 6" above existing grade
which would be approximately +14' He cited the hardship for this as
the hazards of tidal surge and a desire to have a view of the ocean. He
called attention to the garage door that partially faces AlA and pointed
out there was an existing wall along AlA and heavy landscaping would be
provided as additional screening. The staff advised that they had
requested Mr. Marsh to furnish the grade elevations and floor elevations
of the properties on each side and to further provide line of site
drawings from AlA to the garage doors which he had agreed to do at his
formal submission. Mr. Marsh advised he will address the points of
hardship in more detail in the event a formal review is held. The
members of the Board were favorably impressed with the design but
expressed some reservations regarding some of the proposed variances in
that new legislation is in process to lessen the need for variances.
However, direction in this regard was not extended due to not having
necessary material for consideration of these points.

Town Planner/Code Enf.
Mr. Harrington stated the items on which zoning in progress had
been declared are: 1) Protection of Trees, 2) AlA Historic Corridor,
3) Restriction of the Maximum First Floor Elevation, and 4) Restriction
of Second Story Development. He added that there are several other
items that had been included in discussion of ordinance amendements
but he would deal with them later.
•layor Koch stated thatsone residents had expressed a desire to have
action on these matters delayed until fall but that other residents who
want to develop and renovate are being delayed . He also pointed out
that the staff is having a difficult time working with the codes
due to so many different items designated zoning in progress.
IV. Protection of Trees
Mr. Harrington pointed out that proposed Ordinance 91/19 had
been under consideration for the protection of trees. His recommendations
i1 regarding this matter are to recind Ordinance No. 91/19 and replace it
J with a land clearing ordinance which would include the following:
1. The Ordinance would be written to require a permit for
any land clearing, filling or dredging activities.
2. The Ordinance would apply to all vacant lots and lots
where redevelopment activity will disturb or alter 50%
or more of the landscaped area of the site.
Joint Workshop -Town Commission and
the Architectural Review and Planning Board page 2
July 17, 1991
3.
Requirements in the ordinance would include preserving
all on-site native and non -nuisance vegetation with a
trunk diameter of 4 inches or greater either at its
current location or relocated on-site, where practical.
Proposed landscape plans would be required showing all
existing, relocated and new landscaping. Written justification
would be required explaining which materials, if any, would
be lost and why. Moving the vegetation off-site, but still
within the Town limits, would be an acceptable mitigation
measure where preserving or relocating vegetation on-site
proved to be impractical.
4.
Standards would be provided in the ordinance to ensure the
vegetation to be saved would be protected during the time
when land clearing and building activities are taking place
on-site.
5.
Applications for the Land Clearing Permit would be reviewed
simultaneously with Site Plan Review, if required, and would
follow the same notice and public hearing requirements as
site plans for review by the Architectural Review and
Planning Board and the Town Commission.
It was the
feeling of those present that the recommendations acceptable
and they should be placed on an agenda for official consideration.
V. AlA
Historic Corridor
Mr.
Harrington felt that the provisions covered in the proposed
Ordinance
91/16 could be included with other ordinances proposed and
existing.
He pointed out that the ordinance as written is unclear as to
whether signs
for the clubs or condominiums would be permitted.
In
the discussion it was determined that a separate ordinance for
the Historic
Corridor is needed but that proposed Ordinance 91/16 should
be revised
to include the following:
1.
Language added which describes the historical importance
of the corridor.
2.
Section 2.F.l.d. deleted, thus prohibiting all real estate
and contractor signs in the corridor.
3.
Make the Ordinance applicable to all additions, alterations,
and removal of vegetation, berms, walls, gates, fences,
columns, driveways, walkways, other impervious areas, and
structures within the corridor, with the exceptions noted
in the ordinance and the addition of an exemption for
trimming or removal by utility companies.
4.
A Landscape Disturbance Permit would be required and would
be reviewed simultaneously with Site Plan Review, if required,
and would follow the same notice and public hearing requirements
as site plans for review by the Architectural Review and
Planning Board and the Town Commission.
5.
Removal or alteration of vegetation or other landscape
features in violation of the requirements of the ordinance
would result in the replacement of the lost vegetation or
landscape features with materials deemed by the Town to be
equivalent to those lost.
Joint Workshop -Town Commission
and The Architectural Review and Planning Board page 3
July 17, 1991
VI. Maximum First Floor Elevation
The following recommendations for a maximum first floor elevation
were submitted for consideration by Mr. Harrington:
1. For previously undeveloped lots, the maximum finished
first floor elevation would be the greater of the following:
A. +8.5 feet NGVD;
B. 1.5 feet above the crown of adjacent roads; or,
C. 0.5 feet above the average existing grade of the
buildable area of the lot.
2. For previously developed lots, the maximum finished first
floor elevation would be the greater of the following:
A. +8.5 feet NGVD;
B. 1.5 feet above the crown of adjacent roads; or,
C. The elevation of the previous structure or the average
of elevations of adjacent structures, whichever is less.
He further recommended that the proposed Ordinance 91/18 covering this
matter be recinded and replaced with one containing the above. All
felt these recommendations were sound and should have official action.
VII. Second Story Development
Mr. Harrington reminded that Ordinance 91/17 as proposed requires
that the second story be no greater than 30% of the square footage of
the first story. He recommended that this be recinded and replaced
with an Ordinance to include a system of controls involving maximum lot
coverage, maximum floor area, and minimum setbacks based on height. The
Ordinance would provide for the following in Single Family Residential
Districts:
1. Maximum Lot Coverage: Non -oceanfront lots: 25% of the entire lot
area.
Oceanfront lots: 25% of the lot area
landward of the existing Coastal Construction
Control Line.
2. Maximum Floor Area Ratio: Non -oceanfront lots: 0.33 of the entire lot
area.
Oceanfront lots: 0.33 of the lot area
landward of the existing Coastal Construction
Control Line.
Joint Workshop -Town Commission
and the Architectural Review and Planning Board page 4
July 17, 1991
3 • Minimum Side Setbacks: Lots of 20,000 square feet and greater: 15
feet or 15% of lot width, whichever is
greater, for structures up to 22 feet in height.
For portions of structures greater than 22 feet
in height, one additional foot of setback shall
be provided for each foot in height over 22
feet up to a maximum of 35 feet in height
excluding chimneys.
Lots of less than 20,000 square feet: 15 feet

Lots of less than 20,000 square: 15 feet
for structures up to 22 feet in height.
For portions of structures greater than
22 feet in height, one additional foot
of setback shall be provided for each
foot in height over 22 feet up to a
maximum of 35 feet in height excluding
chimneys.
It was the concensus of those present that these recommendations be
scheduled for official action with the following revisions:
1. The Coastal Construction Setback Line be defined by
including the date the existing line was established.
2. The maximum height of structures be reduced from 35'
excluding chimneys to 30' in height excluding chimneys
with the exception of ocean front lots on which a
structure of a maximum 35' would be permitted but that
chimneys would be included in the 351.
The Commission and the Board felt that a study should be made, followed
by a staff recommendation, to establish a setback line from the water
(not to include the ocean) so that it could be addressed along with
all of the other pending legislation. Mr. Harrington stated he would
be happy to do this and suggested that he also needs to study how the
floor area ratios should be applied where atriums are a part of the
development.
VIII. Administrative Review
Mr. Harrington stated that the Codes as written provide that
building permits also go thru the review process. He felt that it was
not intended that everything be held up in the process but that the
staff be authorized to handle some of the smaller applications. He
recommended that something definitive be determined in this area. He
cited a number of examples of applications that he felt should be able
to be decided on a staff level rather than having to go thru the entire
review process. He recommended that an administrative review process
be created and offered the following:
Site Plan Review
The following development proposals require Site Plan Review
and Approval which includes a review and recommendation by
the Town staff and the ARPB, and final review and approval
by the Town Commission.
- All new primary structures.
- All accessory structures greater
- Expansion of existing structures
total square footage or building
- Demolition of primary structures
total square footage or building
than 150 square feet.
by greater than 5% of the
footprint.
by greater than 5% of the
footprint.

- Changes in exterior wall, roofing, window, or door materials,
or combination thereof, for 10% or greater of the total
surface area of an elevation, or 20% or greater of the
entire exterior surface area.
- Increases of 10% or greater of the total unroofed impervious
surface area.
- All boat lifts.
Administrative Review only
The following development proposals require review and approval
by the Town staff only:
- All building or demolition activities not requiring
Site Plan Review.
This recommendation was thought to be acceptable with the following
revisions:
1. Under the Site Plan Review for changes in materials, it
was felt that the phrase "with are significantly different
in color, texture or appearance" should be inserted after
the word thereof.
2. Docks be included along with the boat lifts in the Site
Plan Review.
3. An additional item added under Site Plan Review; "All
other development proposals which, in the opinion of
Town staff, warrant site plan review due to the development's
potential impact.
4. A definition added to designate who is considered as the
Town staff.
It was suggested that the Staff prepare a recommendation for the place-
ment, size and maintenance of docks, boat lifts and dolphins and that
some consideration be given to permitting garages to face the street
without screening on lots of 20,000 or less, with both to be considered
along with the pending legislation.
IX. Adjournment.
