Mr. Conway called attention to the tower noting that this is the highest
peak of the structure, 35 feet, and that this houses the elevator with
the open top being a decorative feature. Mr. Conway advised that the
structure consists of 6,500 square feet under air with the total square
footage under roof on the site being 8,400 square feet.
Mr. Free stated that after reading the Town Managers analysis and recom-
mendations, there will be a change made as to the permiter along AlA. He
advised that the fence that was proposed will be eliminated, leaving only
the gates and columns with a hedge and heavy planting installed along
the rest of the property line. This will be similar to the treatment along
AlA on the properties to the north. He further advised that it will be
necessary to add fill to the property to increase the grade to approximately
18' above 0 sea level in order to meet Health Department requirements
for installation of the septic system. He assured that they are working
with the owners to the north to blend the grade and the landscape material
so that both properties will be esthetically pleasing. Mr. Free advised
that Mr. Harrington had called attention to the fact that the septic system
was proposed in an area of native landscaping and suggested that a new
location for this be chosen. He then called attention to the amended
drawings that had been distributed at this meeting which show this suggestior
has been followed.
Town Manager Harrington reviewed his report and went into some detail on
the items touched on by Mr. Free, adding that the Architect had done a good
job on following the manual and complimented him on his treatment of the
glass on the east elevation. Mr. Harrington wanted to go on record that
it will be.necessary that a 5' high fence enclose the pool, adding that
this is not something this board needs to deal with as it is a building
requirement and not a zoning provision.
Mr. Devitt asked what the side setbacks are for this property and was
advised that they are 15 feet. The members of the ARPB were in agreement
that what is proposed is a nice design that follows the Design Manual.
There was no comment from the public.
a. LAND CLEARING PERMIT -To permit the removal of some
existing trees and the addition of fill material.
Mr. Devitt moved and Mrs. Souder seconded that it be recommended to the
Town Commission that a Land Clearing Permit be granted based on the detail
provided on the amended drawings bearing the Received Date of September 26,
1995. Roll Call: Mr. Devitt; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Hopkins; AYE,
Mrs. Winston; AYE, and Chairman Wilson; AYE.
b. AlA VEGETATIVE DISTURBANCE PERMIT -To permit alteration
of existing vegetation and the installation of a fence
and gate adjacent to.the AlA right-of-way.
Mr. Hopkins moved that it be recommended to the Town Commission that the
AlA Vegetative Disturbance Permit be granted provided that the fence and
columns shown in the drawings be removed,with the exception of two entry
columns and the gates, in order to make the design consistent with the
criteria. Roll Call: Mr. Devitt; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Hopkins; AYE,
Mrs. Winston; AYE, and Chairman Wilson; AYE...

C. LEVEL III ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW -To permit
construction of a two story single family dwelling and
accessory structures.
Mr. Devitt stated that,based on the materials submitted, he believed the
project to be consistent with all applicable standards with two conditions.
He then moved that the site plan be recommended for approval with the
condition that the project shall meet the previously described conditions
of the Landscape Disturbance and Land Clearing Permits, and that a minimum
5' high fence or wall must be provided to enclose the pool area as per
County building requirements. Mrs. Souder seconded the motion. Roll Call:
Mr. Devitt; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Hopkins; AYE, Mrs. Winston; AYE,
and Chairman Wilson; AYE.
d. SIGN REVIEW -To permit installation of a contractors
sign to be displayed during construction.
Mr. Free presented a drawing of the sign he proposes to erect on the site.
He asked if itwould be possible to obtain permission to place the sign
closer to the front property line than 50' as there is vegetation within
this area that would obscure the sign. He was advised that the Board does
not have authority to do this as it is a specific code provision and the
only appeal would be through a variance procedure. Mr. Free indicated he
did not plan to appeal.
Mr. Hopkins moved and Mrs. Souder seconded that the Sign Permit be granted
provided it meets all provisions of the Code. Roll Call: Mr. Devitt; AYE,
Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Hopkins; A]E,Mrs. Winston; AYE, and Chairman Wilson; AYE.
2. Lamar T. Webb as Agent for Mr. & Mrs. Robert Zelle, owners
of property located at 3300 Polo Drive, Gulf Stream, F1.,
legally described as Lot 11, less the north 50' thereof
and all of Lot 12 in Polo Cove Subdivision.
Mr. Webb explained that the existing house would be demolished but he is
hopeful that some of the existing piles can be utilized for the new
construction. He then distributed an amended design of the wing of the
structure in which the bedrooms and bathrooms are located. This resulted
in the elimination of several notched out corners making a cleaner line
for this wing. In so doing, it made possible the addition of limestone
quoins on all of the corners. The amended design also showed the front
entry rather than a side entry with the buttery being changed to a round
design with window panels on each side of the door. Mr. Webb stated that
the owners are not fully decided on which entry they prefer but he believed
they are leaning to the front entry design.
Mr. Harrington summarized his report on the project and suggested that if
the Board so desires, a recommendation to the Commission regarding both
entry designs could be made since the applicant is still undecided.
The members of the Board favored the amended design showing the front
entrance which was first presented at the meeting rather than the design
that was included in the agenda packet.
a. LAND CLEARING PERMIT -To permit alteration of vegetation
and the addition of fill material.
Mr. Devitt, believing ,that the plans and documents submitted by the applicant
meet all applicable permitting criteria, moved that it be recommended to
the Town Commission that the Land Clearing Permit be granted. Mr. Hopkins
seconded the motion. Roll Call: Mr. Devitt; AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr.
Hopkins; AYE, Mrs. Winston; AYE, and Chairman Wilson; AYE.

b. LEVEL III ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW -To permit

(1). Demolition Review -To permit the demolition of

address stated above.
Mrs. Souder moved that the site plan with the Received Date of September
27, 1995 showing the front entrance be recommended for approval,in that
the design is consistent with the applicable review criteria, and that
a demolition permit be granted for the existing structure, provided
the pool area shall be secured with a minimum 5' high fence or wall(as per
the Palm Beach County pool enclosure code) which is necessary for the.
proposed improvements to be consistent with the applicable review criteria.
Mr. Devitt seconded the motion. Roll Call: Mr. Devitt; AYE, Mrs. Souder;
AYE, Mr. Hopkins; AYE, Mrs. Winston; AYE, and Chairman Wilson; AYE.
