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, explained that the trailer would be no larger than 500 sq. ft. and that 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 the Special Exception request for the placement of a construction trailer be granted as requested. The motion was seconded by Dr. True. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. LaPorte; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Architectural Review and Planning Board page 2 July 17, 1991 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 Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Architectural Review and Planning Board page 3 July 17, 1991 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. VIII. Items by Staff A.

JOINT WORKSHOP MEETING OF THE TOWN COMMISSION AND THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND PLANNING BOARD OF THE TOWN OF GULF STREAM, FLORIDA HELD IN THE TOWN HALL ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1991 IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW AND PLANNING WHICH COMMEN AT 9:00 A.M. IN THE TOWN HALL, GULF STREAM, FLORIDA. I. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Koch. II. Roll Call Present: William F. Koch, Jr. Mayor Absent: (all with notice) Also Present: Alan I. Armour Vice Mayor James E. Cross Commissioner Lawrence E. Stahl Commissioner Kathleen S. Wallace Commissioner Joan Orthwein Chairman of ARPB Donald McGraw, Jr. Member of ARPB Joan LaPorte Alternate Member, ARPB Curtis True Alternate Member, ARPB William Lynch Samuel Ogren, Jr. Susanna Souder Franklin Flannery John Randolph Rita Taylor Scott Harrington III. Review of Zoninq in Proqress Vice Chairman ARPB Member of ARPB Member of ARPB Town Manager Town Attorney Town Clerk 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 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. 4. Minimum Front Setbacks: Lots located on A1A: 78 feet from the centerline of the Al right-of-way. Lots of 20.000 square feet and areater: 25 feet or 25% of lot depth, whichever is greater, for structures up to 22 feet in height. For portions of structures over 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 sauare feet: 25 feet for structures up to 22 feet in height. For portions of structures over 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. 5. Minimum Rear Setbacks: Lots of 20.000 souare feet and greater: 15 feet or 15% of lot depth, 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. Joint Workshop -Town Commission and The Architectural Review and Planning Board page 5 July 17, 1991 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. Joint Workshop -Town Commission and The Architectural Review and Planning Board page 6 July 17, 1991 - 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.
