Mr. Ballerano explained that Mr. Bradbury has had this propery for sale for (� an extended period and has no serious prospects. He stated that Mr. Bradbury \I 'believed that the property would be more likely to sell if it were to be divided into two lots of 100' frontage each but that this is not possible due to location of the existing structures. Mr. Ballerano advised that they are requesting to remove all structures with the exception of the driveway and seawall. The Board was concerned about the future condition of the property if a demolition permit were to be granted. Town Manager Harrington explained that there would be no disturbance to the vegetation on the first 50' of the property adjacent to AlA without obtaining a Vegetation Disturbance Permit and the parcel would be seeded and maintained until development takes place. Architectural Review & Planning Board Regular Meeting -December 28, 1994 page 2 Mr. Lynch moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that the Demolition Permit be granted provided the landscape material is not removed and the parcel is properly seeded and maintained,and,.Mr. McGraw seconded.

SUBDIVISION REVIEW -To permit the creation of two, 100+ foot lots from the existing parcel of 200+ feet. Town Manager Harrington explained that the two proposed lots would meet the zoning provisions in that each will have more than 100' frontage and the depth is approximately 300' as measured from the Coastal Construction Control Line. Mr. Lynch moved and Mrs. Souder seconded that it be recom- mended to the Town Commission that the subdivision of the parcel be approved as requested. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Ogren; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. 3. SITE PLAN REVIEW -To review the interim state as a maintained vacant lot prior to future development. Mr. Ballerano reported that there is a buyer for one of the lots if the subdivision is approved. He further reported that the buyer proposes to build a home like the one he lives in now which is in Highland Beach. He added that the present home is on a small lot, close to AlA, and the family desires to move farther back and have a dwelling that is a little larger than their current home. He then circulated a photo of the current dwelling. Town Manager Harrington advised that any development on this parcel of land will have a site plan review prior to applying for any building permits. Mr. Lynch moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that the site plan be approved as requested provided the landscape material is not disturbed and the parcel is seeded and maintained until development is commenced. Mrs. Souder seconded the motion. Roll Call: Mr. McGraw; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Ogren; AYE, and Chairman Orthwein; AYE. VII. Architectural Review and Planning Board Action. A. Review and Recommendations to the Town Commission 1. Design Manual Town Manager Harrington explained that the Design Manual did not provide for controlling the exterior color of structures. He stated that the Task Force had determined that this should be included in the Manual and at their last meeting, approved colors in the first two rows on the color wheels, plus some deeper earth tone shadesfor Mediterranean designs, and deleting those in the first two rows that were of pink to purple shades. The Task Force did not include any control for trim colors on the structures, he said. Mr. Harrington advised that inasmuch as color was to be controlled, some criteria needed to be established to review this, which he and Mr. Randolph would be providing. The Board members recommended that the Town Manager and the Design Consultant review the existing structures and determine both extremes. With those established, they recommended that the Town Manager and Consultant select specific approved colors and that trim color be included in the review. The Town Manager reminded that there had been a question with regard to the height and location of walls in the Ocean West District. He called attention to amended pages VI. 3. & 4. that provide for walls along AlA to be a maximum of 6' in height and setback a minimum-of.12'_from the.front property line, and that all walls higher than 41along AlA must be screened with plant material. In addition, solid gates and gates over 6' in height are prohibited. It is required that fences must be screened from view from Architectural Review & Planning Board Regular Meeting -December 28, 1994 page 3 AlA by landscaping, pools must be enclosed with a fence 5' in height(minimum), fences must be finished on both sides or screened, fences over 6' in height are prohibited, chainlink is prohibited unless concealed by plant material, and fences closer than 5' to the edge of street pavement or property line, whichever is further from the street, are prohibited. 2. Home Occupations Regulations Mr. Harrington explained that the Commission had requested an ordinance to control Home Occupation Uses and read the Home Occupations that are proposed to be permitted. Mrs. Souder asked if trunk sales are a permitted use and Mr. Harrington advised that these are not permitted in the proposed ordinance. 3. Amendments to the Official Zoning Map to reflect the new Single Family Zoning Districts as described in the Design Manual. The Town Manager advised that the current Single Family Zoning District is proposed to be divided into 5 districts as was shown in previous drafts of the Design Manual. He stated there have been no changes in the draft recom- mended, other than the walls and fences in the Ocean West District which has already been discussed in Item 1. 4. Amended Powers and duties of the Town Commission, Local Planning Agency, Board of Adjustment, Architectural Review and Planning Board and the Planning & Building Administrator With regard to this matter, Mr. Harrington summarized by advising that the Architectural Review and Planning Board and the Planning & Bldg.-, Administratc are proposed to be given final approval authority on a number items. Chairman Orthwein observed that the proposed amendment provides that an architect on the ARPB will no longer be required, but that the Board is authorized to obtain the services of an architect when it is felt that professional assistance is needed. Mrs. Souder asked when the terms would expire for current members'-.. Mr. Harrington replied that all members, except Mrs. Orthwein & Mr. Lynch would expire next year. He added that the Task Force had felt a need to establish term limLts;.for'th6;:Z'Alternate Members of the ARPB of 3 years, however, an alternate member who is appointed to fill a full member position may serve up to 2 terms as a full member regardless of the number of terms served as an alternate. 5. Amendment to Architectural/Site Plan Review Standards and Approval Processes. Mr. Harrington advised that standards and processes exist in the current code but they are poorly organized and many do not apply to Single Family development. The provisions have not changed but have been rewritten to organize the process for each type of review and include the designated review authority in the proper sequence in the review processes. The Architectural/Site Plan Review Standards is revised to implement the 0design requirements in the Design Manual, Mr. Harrington said. 1 6. Recodification of Variance Standards & Procedures The Town Manager stated that the proposed amendments in the Zoning Code related to variances do not change any of the standards and procedures but will remove these standards and procedures that were under the heading of Board of Adjustment and be given a section heading of Variances. 7. Amendments to Special Exceptions Standards and Processes Special Exceptions are recognized in the current code but only apply to construction trailers, Mr. Harrington said. He further advised that in the Design Manual, there are several circumstances recognized to which Special Exceptions could apply and those need to be recognized in the Zoning Code. In addition, there is a provision that a Special Exception shall not be granted in instances where a variance is also required. Architectural Review & Planning Board Regular Meeting -December 28, 1994 page 4 8. Appeals Process Mr. Harrington explained that this amendment is a recodification to move the provisions covering appeals from the section of Board of Adjustment to a section entitled Appeals with the Board of Adjustment still designated to hear appeals. Town Manager Harrington advised that a summary of comments regarding the Design Manual and proposed amendments to the Code will be furnished to the Town Commission and an amendmed document will not be available until the Commission has had an opportunity to review the comments. There were no changes recommend for the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code. Mr. Lynch moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that the Design Manual be adopted as amended in Item VII.A.1. by the ARPB and amended by the Task Force regarding walls and fences in Ocean West District, and that all amendments to the Zoning Code as presented by the Town Manager be adopted.
