Site Plan Review A. Everett H. Jenner, AlA, Architect, Agent for William Lamson, 3777 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Fl. 33483 -CONTINUED FROM FEBRUARY 26, 1992 -Site Plan Amendment to permit changes to all four elevations of a dwelling under construction. Mr. Lamson advised he will be representing his own project at this meeting. Mrs. Souder questioned if Mr. Ogren had met with Mr. Lamson during the past month to discuss the additions that Mr. Lamson had constructed to his dwelling that is under construction and that is now being considered for approval. Mr. Ogren advised they had met and he had visited the site. He called attention to the alteration that had been made on the east elevation drawings since the February 26, 1992 meeting; that being the addition of a slanted roof section in an effort to somewhat match the other side of the east elevation and soften the appearance of the tele- scope room. Mr. Ogren added that he felt these changes should be considered in the same manner they would have been considered if they had been a part of the original, discounting the fact that they are already in place for the most part. The other members of the board agreed. Mr. Ogren then added that what they are proposing to do with the roof is the only thing that could be done at this point to improve the appearance, short of removing the the :telescope room. Mr. McGraw moved to recommend approval with the modification that has been presented, seconded by Mr. Lynch. Roll Call: Mr..McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; NAY; Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Ogren; NAY, and Chairman Orthwein; NAY. Regular Meeting -Architectural Review and Planning Board page 2 March 25, 1992 Chairman Orthwein explained that the addition adds too much additional mass to the structure and that if it were to have been part of the original design, and was being submitted for the first time today, she could not recommend approval. Mr. Ogren stated that he sympathized with Mr. Lamson's position but the Board was created for the purpose of reviewing proposed structures and improvements to determine if they.were in conformity with good taste and good design. He stated that, being an architect, he could not in good conscience say that the telescope room was good design or in good taste with the rest of the community. Additionally, the telescope room as redesigned,constitutes a third floor which is not permitted without a variance. Mr. Lamson called attention to the fact that in looking out the front door of his dwelling, he could see the on-site sewage treatment facility and a 3 story apartment with balconies hanging from all angles as well as a wooden dwelling with an air conditioning in the front. He did not believe the telescope room was as unsightly as what he will be looking at. He added that it will only be seen from the beach and only be used for astronomy Mr. Ogren moved that it be recommended to approve the changes that were made to the north, south and west sides of the structure, and the second story "Ocean Room" on the east side, provided a matching roof line with that on the northeast corner is maintained on the southeast corner and provided that the railing that is installed on the inside of the glass door of the ocean room is moved to the outside of the glass to match the railing on the northeast corner. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Souder. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Ogren; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. B. Clinton Wright of National Satellite Corporation, Agent for Richard Scarafoni, 2435 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, FL. 33483 Installation of a satellite dish. Mr. Wright explained that the satellite dish would not be visible from any side due to the existing plantings and the additional that would be added. Mrs. Souder did not feel that this type of structure was in keeping with the character of Gulf Stream and questioned if these could be prohibited. Attorney Randolph advised they could not be prohibited but can be regulated. Mr. Lynch questioned if there were smaller structures on the market and was advised by Mr. Wright that they had expected to have them released last year but to date there has been no further word. Mrs. Souder asked if any of the adjacent neighbors had objected to the proposed installation. Town Clerk Taylor read the list of persons who had been notified and advised that there had been no comment from any of them. Mr. Lynch moved to recom- mend that the site plan and screening be approved as requested, seconded by Mr. Ogren. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; NAY, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Ogren; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. Mrs. Souder then moved to request the Town Commission to review the current ordinance regulating satellite dish antennas. The motion was seconded by Mr. Ogren. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Ogren; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. Regular Meeting -Architectural Review and Planning Board page 3 March 25, 1992 Mr. Ogren declared a conflict of interest in relation to the next two items on the agenda in that he is acting as agent for Mrs. O'Brien and Mrs. Jones in the presentation of their site plans. Chairman Orthwein excused Mr. Ogren and requested that Mrs. Joan LaPorte, an Alternate Member of the Architectural Review and Planning Board, replace Mr. Ogren on the Board. C. Samuel Ogren, Agent for Sarah L. O'Brien, 12 Banyan Road, Gulf Stream, F1. 33483 -Construction of a garage addition to replace a carport and installation of a swimming pool. Mr. Ogren displayed pictures of the existing carport and reminded that carports are no longer permitted in Gulf Stream. He stated the carport is being proposed to be replaced by a two car garage which will be of the same materials as the dwelling. He added that permission to construct a pool in the rear yard, which meets the codes,is also requested. Mr. Lynch moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that approval of the site plan be given as requested and presented. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Souder. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder: AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mrs. LaPorte; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. D. Samuel Ogren, Agent for Mrs. James Jones, 1340 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. 33483 -Construction of a roof over a portion of the existing front terrace. Mr. Ogren explained that Mrs. Jones had just purchased the property and wished to somewhat change the appearance of the front of the building. He pointed out that there is an existing terrace and by covering approximately 10 feet of it with a roof, a new look is achieved. The design and materials match the existing structure, he said. Mrs. Souder moved to recommend approval of the site plan as requested, seconded by Mr. McGraw. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mrs. LaPorte; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. VI. Items by Staff A. Construction in Progress Report. The report revealed there to be $8,122,281 worth of construction underway in February, 1992. There were no questions regarding the report. VII. Items by Board Members Mrs. Souder advised that the Civic Association was considering the formation of a non profit organization to collect money to fund projects in the town, citing as an example.the trimming of the pine trees on AlA. She asked Attorney Randolph if this would be difficult and if he could see any problems with the concept. Attorney Randolph replied that it is not a difficult procedure to form a 5010_)Corporation but getting the tax exempt letter from the IRS is very time consuming. He stated that he recommends that aiy such organization not be connected with the Town Government. He further stated, in reply to Mrs. Souder's question regarding his assistance in formulating such an organization, that he did not feel it would be proper for him to be involved, other than advising the members where to go and who to contact, inasmuch as he represents the Town and at some point in the future there could be a circumstance arise wherein the Town and the Non Profit Organization were not in agreement and he would need to protect the interests of the Town. Mrs. Souder thanked Attorney Randolph for his comments. Regular Meeting -Architectural Review and Planning Board page 4 March 25, 1992 Mr. McGraw questioned if any additional material had been received in relation to the Elmore application. Mr. Harrington advised that he had spoken to Mr. Elmore several weeks previous and Mr. Elmore had stated that he had been busy with other matters and had not given any more thought to his project at this point. VIII. Public There was no comment from the public. IX. Adjournment Chairman Orthwein adjourned the meeting at 9:50 A.M. on a motion to do so made by Mr. Lynch, which was seconded by Mrs. Souder with all voting AYE. P�_� / /- Rita L.
