V. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Variance
1. Samuel Ogren, Jr., Agent for Mrs. James Jones, 20 N.W. 11th
St., Delray Beach, F1. - Addition of a storage room to a
non -conforming structure that would extend into the rear yard
setback at 1430 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1.
Mr. Ogren explained that there is very little storage space in this structure
Oand that Mrs. Jones has her own employees care for the grounds, making it
necessary to store the machinery and materials on site. He pointed out
that it would be possible to construct an outbuilding for this purpose but
it was felt that another building on site would not be aesthetically pleasing
He explained that.the existing structure has an L shaped offset that is
adjacent to the Intracoastal Waterway. By enclosing this offset, an
encroachment of 10.2 feet into the rear setback of 31.2 feet, will be
necessary. Mr. Ogren further advised that this addition will not be seen,
except from across the Waterway, and that there is also a very large tree
that will screen it from view. Mr. Ogren circulated several pictures which
showed the conditions of the area in question. In closing, Mr. Ogren advised
that the house had been constructed in the mid 1950's and the setback
requirements have become more restrictive since that time.

VI. Site Plan Review
/ A. Samuel Ogren, Jr., Agent for Mrs. James Jones, 20 N.W. 11th St.
Delray Beach, F1. -Addition of a storage room to an existing
dwelling at 1430 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1.
Mr. McGraw moved and Dr. True seconded that it be recommended to the Town
Commission that the site plan be approved as requested. Roll Call: Mr.
McGraw; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE.
B. Angelo Poblete, Architect, as agent for Ann & Alan Aker, 3649
N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. 33483 -Alteration of footprint
on south side to combine a bedroom & enclosed patio into one
room; extension of existing second story to add a master bedroom
alteration of the Belvedere reducing the height of the structure.
Mr. Poblete displayed a rendering of the improvements being proposed. He
explained that the dwelling as it exists does not provide adequate space
for a growing family. He pointed out that by combining a bedroom and an
enclosed patio, a family room would be created. In order to do this, a
slight alteration of approximately 2h feet to the footprint on the south
side would be necessary. Mr. Poblete pointed out that this wing of the
structure is one story and he is proposing that a second story be added
ciich will connect with the existing second story and be of the same material
and color as the rest of the structure. The final alteration that is
proposed consists of replacing the roof on the Belvedere and in so doing,
lowering it, and lowering the concrete railings to 36". He added that
they had originally intended to enclose the existing second floor porch
on the east side as shown in the rendering but have since decided to
leave the porch as it is.
Mrs. Aker introduced herself and also stated that the family needs more
space and that by adding the partial second story, a master bedroom and
study would be added. She offered to answer any questions.
Brian Pfeifler, a nearby property owner, advised that he has no objection
to the improvements as submitted but added that he would be away for 5
months and if any other improvements were requested, or if the ones under
consideration are altered, he wanted to be advised. Chairman Orthwein
assured that notices would be sent in this event.
Town Manager Harrington advised that permits from the DNR and the Palm Beach
County Environmental Department will be necessary and that the applicant
is applying for them at this time. He recommended that if approval of
this site plan is recommended, that the approval be conditioned on approvals
from the Department of Natural Resources and the county Department of
Environmental Resources Management being presented at the time application
for a building permit is made,and with the proviso that if the site plan
that is approved by the Town differs from those approved by the other
agencies, the applicant shall apply for and receive a Site Plan Revision
Review and approval from the Town prior to issuance of a building permit.
Architectural Review & Planning Board -
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing page 3
Dr. True moved that the Board recommend to the Town Commission that the
site plan be approved as requested with the following conditions:
a. Approval be obtained from the Florida Department of
Natural Resources and proof of same be provided to the Town
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
O b. Approval be obtained from the Palm Beach County Department
of Environmental Resources Management and proof of same be
provided to the Town prior to the issuance of a building permit.
C. Should the site plan approved by the Town differ with those
approved by the State and/or the County, the applicant shall apply
for and receive a Site Plan Revision Review and approval from
the Town prior to the issuance of a building permit.
The motion was seconded by Mr. McGraw. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Dr.
True; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE.
VII. Assignments from the Town Commission
A. Review of the code provision which prohibits construction of
carports.
Town Manager Harrington advised that there had been two carports constructed
recently for which the contractors did not obtain building permits. Inas-
much as the Town Code prohibits carports, Mr. Harrington advised the
property owners of the violations and they subsequently had them removed.
Mr. Harrington went on to report that one of the owners, Mrs. Houghton,
appeared before the Town Commission and requested that the Code be reviewed
regarding the prohibition of carports with the thought that perhaps they
could be permitted under certain conditions such as the structure being
screened from view and limited as to size. He advised that the Town
Commission had then directed that the ARPB review the Code and make a
recommendation to the Town Commission.
Janet Parker was recognized and advised that she was one of the persons
who had contracted for a carport not knowing they were not permitted. She
asked that consideration be given to changing the code to permit carports
that would be regulated as to screening and size.
The Town Clerk advised that Mr. Lynch had asked that his thoughts on this
matter of carports be made a part of the record even though he realized
it would not be in an official capacity since he would not be present.
Chairman Orthwein directed the Clerk to state Mr. Lynch's position. Mrs.
Taylor advised that Mr. Lynch had stated that while he has a carport, he does
not_fbel tHem toibeaesthetically in keeping with the character of the Town
Oand would be opposed to changing the code. Mr. McGraw, Dr. True and
Chairman Orthwein agreed with the position of Mr. Lynch and added that they
believed that changing the code would encourage a proliferation of carports.
Mr. Ogren, speaking from the audiance, agreed and added that the cost to
add a few walls to a roofed carport to make an enclosure was not very costly.
Dr. True moved and Mr. McGraw seconded that it be recommended that the
code which prohibits the construction of carports not be amended. Roll
Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE.

IX. Items by Board Members
OChairman Orthwein advised that she would not be present for the
meeting of June 24, 1992. Town Manager Harrington stated that at the
present time there are no applications pending but there was the possibility
that Mr. Lamson would be making application for a variance. He believed
that it would not be submitted in time to be heard on June 24 and suggested
that perhaps a meeting could be held for this consideration during the
week of July 6, 1992 in order that it could be heard by the Town Commission
on July 13, 1992. Chairman Orthwein agreed that this would be reasonable
and stated she would be available at that time. Mr. McGraw stated he
could arrange his calendar to also be available in the event the application
is received. Chairman Orthwein questioned if the matter of an appointment
to replace Dr. True on the ARPB would be on the June agenda for the Town
Commission and was advised that it will be an agenda item.
