Architectural Review and Planning
Board -Regular Meeting, February 24, 1993 page 2
Chairman Orthwein passed the gavel to Vice Chairman Lynch, declaring a
conflict in that her brother-in-law, James Orthwein, is Vice President
of the Gulf Stream School Foundation and is involved in the proposed project.
Vice Chairman Lynch asked Mr. Harrington to review his staff report for
this application.
Town Manager Harrington briefly reviewed his staff report which included
a summary of the various items included in the application. With regard
to some of the recommendations related to the application, Mr. Harrington
recommended that the variance to construct an additional building without
a corresponding demolition be denied unless the School a.) Provides the
Town with a comprehensive, long-range plan that addresses all School
operations and facilities and clearly demonstrates and justifies the need
for a field house -type structure. b.) Clearly demonstrates how the specific
proposed field house meets the goals and objectives of the long-range plan.
c.) Clearly demonstrates how both the plan and the specific field house
are consistent and compatible with the Town's goals and objectives for the
community as a whole as expressed in the Town's Comprehensive Plan, Zoning
Code and other Town policies. Vice Chairman Lynch then asked that the
applicants make their presentation.
Miss Anne Gibb, Headmistress of Gulf Stream School, addressed the Board,
pointing out that the school had always been conservative with high
standards, and had always existed harmoniously with the residential character
of Gulf Stream. Miss Gibb added that the addition of the field house would
not increase the size of the school but only meet the changing needs of
the current student body and those of the future. She then introduced
Susan Ridgley, President of the Gulf Stream School Foundation.
Mrs. Ridgley presented the long-range plan for the School which called for
the following: a) Conduct ongoing reevaluation of the curriculum. b) Continue
to emphasize the importance of teamwork and cooperation through the sports
program and strengthen the Physical Education program. c) Enhance the
Fine Arts program with a wider variety of offerings. d) Examine more effective
use of the School facilities. e) Continue to offer School Programs as needed.
e) Assess the Summer Program. f) Review the need for acquisition or
construction of additional facilities. She believed their current requests
follow the plan and added, the building would provide a facility that
would keep students out of the sun which is a concern in relation to skin
cancer. Mrs. Ridgley then introduced James Orthwein.
OJames Orthwein, Vice President of the Gulf -Stream School Foundation, compared
the long-range plan for the school with the Town's Comprehensive Plan, point-
ing out that there did not appear to bea conflict, adding that the school's
plan is a ten year plan,and as with all plans, must be reviewed periodically
and updated to fit changing circumstances and conditions. Mr. Orthwein then
acknowledged that there currently are problems with storm drainage, traffic,
and parking, and advised that it is their intention to address these problems
along with designing the new building. Mr. Orthwein introduced Attorney
Conrad Desantis, Legal Counsel in this matter.
Architectural Review and Planning
Board -Regular Meeting, February 24, 1993 page 3
Attorney Desantis reviewed the history of the school, noting that the
facilities provide for students from pre-school through the eighth grade
which would not change if the proposed building is permitted. He pointed
out that the Town's Comprehensive plan is family oriented in that the zoning
is completely residential, and that a school is definately a use that is
also family oriented.
OVice Chairman Lynch then opened the discussion to members of the Board. Mr.
Hopkins asked Mr. Harrington if there is a conflict in use to which Mr.
Harrington replied that there is not necessarily a conflict in that the
plan promotes a residential community. Mr. Hopkins suggested that perhaps
retirees were not being given enough consideration in this matter, noting
that the Town has a great percentage of retirees.
Mrs. Souder acknowledged that the school has always been compatible and
expressed a desire to retain that relationship. She added, however, that
many in the area of the school are opposed because of parking and drainage
problems, and she felt these needed to be addressed. Mrs. Souder stated
that former trustees of the school made a commitment that no additional
buildings would be constructed unless there were offsetting demolitions,
and she believed this should be honored. Mrs. Souder added that it appears
this new building is more of a luxury than a necessity. She stated that
she had heard that it was felt that because other schools had indoor
facilities similar to what is proposed, Gulf Stream School should have them.
Mrs. Soulder did not believe the Gulf Stream School should be in competition
with others; that it had always been an excellent school without being
influenced by what others were doing.
Mr. McGraw advised he had been a trustee at the time the chapel was built
and it was supposed to have been able to handle this problem. He added
that an athletic facility would be good but that the neighbors must be
protected from any further impact and the existing defeciencies should be
handled before any additions are made.
Attorney Desantis noted that all of the comments are valid and that they
have been addressed. He stated that in addition the the 11 new parking
spaces that are shown on the plan, temporary parking will be provided by
adding pavers to some of the sodded areas. With regard to the drainage
problem, he pointed out that much of it is caused by water flowing off
AlA onto the school property due to the Florida D.O.T. not providing for
their run-off. He believed that with the construction of the new building,
much of that can be provided for. Attny. Desantis added that the trustees
Qare sensitive that a commitment was made and that they are asking to have
it changed. He believed this is a necessity as children need to work off
energy in order to be able to settle down and apply themselves to their
studies.
Mr. Orthwein stated that the applicants are willing to commit to a maximum
footprint of development of the site which would not be deviated from unless
60% were to be destroyed, at which time a new plan would be developed.
With regard to parking, Mr. Orthwein stated they would also ask permission
for use of the Town Hall parking lot during non -business hours. He added
that retention had been provided for a 1" of rainfall in the area of the new
building as is required but that they will also meet the retention requirement
on the entire parcel. He further stated that the school would connect to
the private sewer system that is available.
Architectural Review and Planning
Board -Regular Meeting, February 24, 1993 page 4
Brian Pfeifler, owner of property east of the proposed improvement, was
concerned that adequate landscape material be installed and maintained in the
future to screen the building from view. He added that he was opposed
to additional entrances off AlA.
Town Manager Harrington advised that in his staff report, he had recommended
^ that if a variance were to be granted, a developers agreement be executed
to cover committments, such as those that have been heard and requested,
which would be recorded on the property records.
Albert Socol, Agent and Architect for the Gulf Stream Foundation, presented
a rendering of the proposed structure and stated that there would be much
better landscaping thaniwhat is shown. He pointed out that the design
blends with other structures and is near the same height as a two story home.
Mr. Socol advised that he has been directed to make changes in the plan
which will eliminate two of the variance requests and reduce a third. These
consist of reducing the height of the building to a maximum of 30' which is
permitted, eliminating the covered walkway near the southwest corner of the
property, and removing a portion of the existing chapel to allow the new
building to be moved further to the west which will reduce the encroachment
into the front yard setback adjacent to AlA from 71.3' to 57.3'
Correspondence related to these variance requestes was made a part of the
record as follows:
Letters supporting the project: Jeanne Breazeale, Barbara Crocker, Candace
Friis, Mr. & Mrs. Leigh Gove, Sally Mills,
Mr. & Mrs. Scott Tiernan.
Letters opposing the project: James Finley, Bruce McKinney, Sarah O'Brien.
Barbara Stenson spoke from the audiance in opposition to the project.
Mr. Hopkins moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that a
variance be granted to permit the construction of a multi-purpose building
abutting the existing chapel which does not replace or act as a substitute
for an existing structure contingent upon a developers agreement being
executed, following a review by the Architectural Review and Planning Board
and approval by the Town Commission, which addresses the items recommended
in the Staff Report dated February 19, 1993 and the problems stated and
committments made at this meeting of February 24, 1993. The motion was
seconded by Mr. McGraw. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr.
Hopkins; AYE, and Vice Chairman Lynch; AYE.
OMr. Hopkins moved and Mr. McGraw seconded that it be recommended to the
Town Commission that a variance be granted to permit construction of a multi-
purpose building which will abut the existing chapel that will extend a
maximum of fifty seven and three tenths (57.3) feet into the required one
hundred three and three tenths (103.3) foot front yard setback adjacent to
State Road AlA. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Hopkins;
AYE, and Vice Chairman Lynch; AYE.
Variance requests to encroach into the front yard setback adjacent to Gulf
Stream Road and to exceed the maximum building height of 30' were not acted
upon since they had been withdrawn by Albert Socol, Agent as stated above.

I%. Items by Staff
A. Construction in Progress Report for January, 1993
The Construction in Progress Report revealed there to be
$6,674,825 worth of construction in progress in the month of January, 1993.
B. Proposed Establishment of a Zoning & Site Plan Review Season.
Town Manager Harrington explained that at the request of a few residents,
one of the Town Commissioners had requested that the ARPB investigate the
establishment of a Zoning & Site Plan Review Season which would restrict
any action in this regard to the months when most are in residence, that
Qbeing the winter. It was thought that Palm Beach and Manalapan had such
restriction, he said. Mr. Harrington went on to advise that both towns
have this restriction on zoning changes but no restrictions at all on site
plan review processes. The Board noted that notices are sent in advance of
any site plan reviews which should give neighbors time to arrange for
representation at such hearings. Mr. Lynch moved and Mr. Hopkins seconded
that no changes be recormeffiedin current procedures. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw;
AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Hopkins; AYE, and Chairman
