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. Architectural Review and Planning Board - Regular Meeting & Public Hearing page 2 Mr. McGraw moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that the variance be granted as requested. The motion was seconded by Dr. True. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Dr. True; AYE, Chairman Orthwein; AYE. The Town Clerk advised that for the record, there were no objections from any of the neighbors. 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. Architectural Review & Planning Board - Regular Meeting & Public Hearing VIII. Items by Staff A.

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. X.
