Applications for Development Approval Chairman Wilson asked :fot all persons who intended to speak on any matter related to applications for development approval to raise their right hand and be sworn by the Town Clerk. There were 3 persons, Bill Free, Jack Conway and Lamar Webb,who took the oath. 1. Bill Free as Agent for Harold T. Pontius, owner of the property located at 1315 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1., legally described as the south one-half of Lot 5 and the north one-half of Lot 6, Block D, Revised Plat of Block D and Block E, Palm Beach Shores Acres. Mr. Free presented color renderings of the propose3structure and actual tile samples of the roof. He stated all requirements of the.design manual and the code had been met. Mr. Free advised that Mr. Pontius wanted this structure to appear like it had always been on the site and noted that the landscaping is designed with this in mind. He then introduced Jack Conway, Architect. Regular Meeting & Public Hearing Architectural Review and Planning Board September 27, 1995 page 2 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... Reqular Meeting & Public Hearing Architectural Review and Planning Board September 27, 1995 page 3 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.

LEVEL III ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW -To permit construction of a one story, single family dwelling. (1). Demolition Review -To permit the demolition of the existing single family dwelling at the 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. VII. Items from the Town Commission. A.
