Home My Public Portal AboutPRR 15-1974From: Chris O'Hare [mailto:chrisoharegulfstream@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, October 09, 2015 2:21 PM To: Bill Thrasher <bthrasher@gulf-stream.org> Subject: Public Record Request 100 point evaluation of Architectural Style Dear Custodian of Records, This email is a singular request for a public record. Please respond to this public record request in a singular manner and do not combine this public record request with any other public record requests when responding. Before making this public record request, I first searched the public records portion of your agency's website hoping I could locate the public record I seek without having to trouble you for it. Unfortunately I can not find the records I wish to examine. This request is based upon information published on the Town's website regarding Sec. 70-299. - Results of single-family development survey. Portions of this code section are cooled below for your reference. I request you provide for my Inspection the public record which is: The record of the evaluation and tabulation of the 100 point system of characteristic elements used to determine that the architectural style of the home located at 2520 Avenue Au Soleil was Other/Various Style. The record of the evaluation and tabulation of the 100 point system of characteristic elements used to determine that the architectural style of the home located at 2520 Avenue Au Solell was Gulf Stream Bermuda Style. I make this request pursuant to Article 1, Section 24 of the Florida Constitution and Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. If you contend that any of the records I am seeking, or any portion thereof, are exempt from inspection or disclosure please cite the specific exemption as required by § I19.07(1)(e) of the Florida Statutes and state in writing and with particularity the basis for your conclusions as required by § I19.07(I)(f) of the Florida Statutes. Please take note of §119.07(I)(c) Florida Statues and your affirmative obligation to (1) promptly acknowledge receipt of this public records request and (2) make a good faith effort which "includes making reasonable efforts to determine from other officers or employees within the agency whether such a record exists and, ifso, the location at which the record can be accessed." I am, therefore, requesting that you notify every individual in possession of records that may be responsive to this public records request to preserve all such records on an immediate basis. If the public records being sought are maintained by your agency in an electronic format please produce the records in the original electronic format in which they were created or received. See &I 19.01(2)(f), Florida Statutes. Please provide only those records for inspection that do not require extensive use of information technologies or extensive staff time or both in excess of 15 minutes. Please take note of § 119.07(4)(01(d) Florida Statues and if you anticipate that any records exist, the production for inspection of which will require extensive use of information technologies or extensive staff time or both in excess of 15 minutes, then please advise me of the cost you anticipate to be incurred by your agency prior to incurring this cost. Please do not incur any costs on my behalf without first obtaining my written authorization to proceed. If you anticipate the need to incur any costs that I would be statutorily required to pay in order to inspect these public records which would exceed $1.00 please notify me in advance of your incurring that cost with a written estimate of the total cost. Please be sure to itemize any estimates so as to indicate the total number of pages and/or records, as well as to distinguish the cost of labor and materials. Again, please do not incur any costs on my behalf without fust obtaining my written authorization to proceed. I hereby reserve all rights granted to me under the Florida Constitution and Florida Statutes. All responses to this public records request should be made in writing to the following email address: chrisohareeulfstreamtn• email.com Sec. 70-299. - Results of single-family development survey. (a) (b) 1994 Architectural Style Survey. Based on district neighborhood characteristics, five design districts were established: Gulf Stream Core, Ocean West, Beachfront, North/South, and Place au Soleil. These districts were carefully inventoried to establish a factual basis for development regulations and guidelines appropriate to their existing character. The district characteristics noted in this section were compiled in the following manner: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Lot Size. Existing subdivision plats were reviewed and the lot size of all existing lots was calculated by Urban Design Studio. Building Size and Number of Stories. R.E.D.I. Map microfiche files were reviewed and the number of stories of all homes and total Floor area (available for 60 percent) were recorded by design district. Architectural Style. A field review and style determination of all existing single-family homes was conducted during June 1994. Floor Area Ratio (FAR). Based on the data collected above, Urban Design Studio calculated existing FARs for each district. Although FARs for all lots were not calculated due to data availability, data for a minimum of 50 percent of the lots in each district was available. Lot Coverage. Lot coverage is calculated based on the first floor area of a building only. Because R.E.D.I. Map data does not identify the first floor area of two-story buildings, only one-story buildings were used in the analysis. It could easily be assumed, however, that while two-story buildings may have a greater total floor area, the first floor lot coverage of two-story buildings would typically be equal to or less than that of one-story buildings. 1997 Architectural Style Survey. (1) The architectural survey conducted in 1994 was based on historical sites surveys, records from the Florida Master Site File, field investigations, and a comprehensive geographic windshield survey of all existing homes in the town. This initial research and documentation provided the necessary foundation to develop and implement the original Gulf Stream Design Manual. Since the initial adoption of the Gulf Stream Design Manual (2) in 1995, careful consideration and evaluation have been given to this regulating document. A running list of issues needing further clarification or additional details was complied by staff and is addressed in this chapter, a revised edition of the manual. Given the additional amount of architectural detail and complexity of plans being submitted, the architectural review and planning board requested a more in depth architectural survey conducted in early 1997. A thematic architectural survey was conducted and recorded for both Spanish -Mediterranean and Gulf Stream -Bermuda style houses. These particular styles are considered predominant and preferred within the town and receive specific design consideration in this chapter. The methodology of conducting this survey was logical and consisted of four important steps: a. L7 C. The historic literature and the previous architectural survey were re-examined to identify potential candidates for inclusion into the Spanish -Mediterranean or the Gulf Stream -Bermuda categories. The Gulf Stream Design Manual (especially article VII) was used to further define those styles of architecture and place a hierarchy on design elements. Each style was evaluated independently. This was an important step to insure that major defining elements counted more than minor ones and a fair evaluation of the overall style could be determined. Based on the categories established in article VII, Predominant Architectural Styles, a point system of 100 was assicned to each style that evaluated all the characteristic elements. In turn, this ultimately determined if a particular house was classified under one of the two styles or not. Field investigation and photo documentation were conducted and recorded. After all properties were evaluated and tabulated, a cut off point was established for each architectural style. Spanish Mediterranean style homes receiving 60 points or above or Gulf Stream -Bermuda style homes receiving 70 points or above, were classified as their respective style. The variation of the cut off point is primarily due to the number and weight of major character defining elements associated with each style. Because this analysis dealt with specific parameters as set forth in article VII, the number of houses classified decreased in both categories. GULF STREA161 /LRVkln'VUFVRAt, VIVIX.
