Agent: Daniel P. Hess Construction Proposed Improvement: Demolition of 696 S.F. and replacement with a 2098 S.F. one -story addition at the rear of the home. A new 351 S.F. covered porch will also be added to the rear (south side) of the home. The additions will connect the garage with the main home and will expand the Loggia /Family area and kitchen. Approvals Requested: Special Exception(s): None Variances: N/A Permitted Floor Area: 7426 S.F. Zoning District: RS -C /Core Architectural/ Site Plan Review -Level 2 Proposed Floor Area: 6338 S.F. Proposed Height: One story (< 20' preferred) Existing Architectural Style: Gulf Stream Bermuda, one -story Adjacent Residences: Adjacent and across the street are "other /various style" homes Key Issues Considered During Review: 1. Windows as dominant element 2. Consistency of bowed shape of rear addition with Bermuda style (usually rectangular) Staff Recommendation: If the ARPB finds that the current design is consistent with Article V Section 8 and Article VII, Section B.3 (Windows), Article VII, Section B.1 (Building Form), and Article V, Section A.11 (Additions and Rehabilitations), and other applicable requirements, the following condition is recommended: 1. Health Department approval of the septic system shall be secured prior to issuance of a building permit, unless the home is connected to the private sewer system. ARPB # 98 -9, page 1 J C Summary of Analysis: Many improvements have been made to the home over the last year including replacement of the front awning windows with multi-paned windows and reduction of prominent 4 foot roof overhangs to 14 ". The current proposal seeks to further upgrade the existing home by connecting the garage to the main home, creating a larger kitchen and placing additional living area on the rear of the home. The original rear elevation contained 12 sliding glass doors (six pairs) and a sliding window which will be eliminated in the renovation, thereby removing a discouraged feature (50% glass on an elevation). Quoins will be added to most building corners. Several external design features of the addition will match the existing home -- the same exterior materials, color, muttons, and quoins at the corners will be used. The proposed Floor Area Ratio ( "FAR ") is below Design Manual limitations. According to the owner's calculations, the percentage of window and door openings is 48.1% of the rear elevation (more than 50% is prohibited). The side setback on the northern side of the home is non- conforming (13.1' existing; 15' currently required). However, no expansion of this nonconformity is proposed -- all additions comply with current setback requirements. The bowed shape of the rear addition is not a building form commonly associated with the Gulf Stream Bermuda style. Simple rectangular configurations are the preferred building form for Gulf Stream Bermuda Homes, but rounded or bowed shapes are not listed as discouraged or prohibited. Only a handful of existing Bermuda style homes have rounded features, including a home approved in late 1995 with a buttery -like feature. The Town Manager consulted with Urban Design Studio (UDS), the Architecture and Planning Firm that assisted in the preparation of the Town's Design Manual, during review the proposed plans. UDS's review indicated that key design features of the addition, the prominence of the French doors /fan lights, and the bowed building form cause it to compete with the simple rectangular character of the existing home. UDS suggested that the addition could be redesigned to be more consistent with the Gulf Stream Bermuda building form and with the form of the existing home by making the addition more rectilinear in form and /or redesigning the windows/ doors to make them less prominent (for example, by removing the fan lights). The owner considered these suggestions, but feels that the submitted design is more attractive and better suited to the layout of the site. The proposed design does not contain any features that are specifically listed as "prohibited" in the design manual. Although the addition does not represent the traditional rectangular building form, the overall renovation upgrades the home, uses a number of traditional exterior Bermuda design features (quoins, muttons, white tile roof), and retains its one -story height and general character as viewed from the street, rather than replacing it with a new larger -scale home. ARPB Action: ARPB Date: 5/28/98 Vote: ARPB # 98 -9, page 2 11. ADDITIONS AND REHABILITATIONS Additions and rehabilitations should be designed to match the design of the remainder of the existing structure so that when finished, the addition or rehabilitated portion appears to be an `original" part of the structure. Wherever possible, existing discouraged or prohibited design elements should be removed or replaced and preferred elements incorporated. Very large additions or significant rehabilitations will be treated as completely new structures. Required • for existing homes identified as having one of the styles of architecture described in Article VII of this Manual, the design of the addition or rehabilitated portion shall conform with all standards found in that article for the particular architectural style, unless the style of the entire structure is to be changed • the design of the addition or rehabilitated portion shall match the design of the rest of the existing structure as closely as possible, unless the overall design of the entire structure is to be changed • the design of the addition shall represent a logical extension of the existing structure in terms of location, form, mass, design and use of design elements • the design of the rehabilitated portion shall not create a significant inconsistency of design between the rehabilitated structure and other structures on the property that are not to be rehabilitated • additions and/or rehabilitated projects which exceed 75% of the value of the existing structure shall be considered to be "new" structures and shall be subject to the standards found in Articles V and VI and VII of this Manual Preferred • replacement/removal of existing discouraged and prohibited design elements throughout the structure wherever possible. • use of preferred design elements wherever possible Discouraged ■ use of discouraged design elements not present on the existing structure Prohibited • use of prohibited design elements not present on the existing structure • use of prohibited design elements present on the existing structure without approval of a Special Exception (see Article IV, Section B.1.)

Wmows Windows not only provide light and ventilation but add to the aesthetics of a building by creating rhythm, proportion, distinction and articulation. Certain styles of windows correspond to specific types of architecture; however, there are some basic principles that should be applied consistently. (For the purposes of this section, glass panels in doors are considered to be windows, unless otherwise noted.) For the purposes of this section, an elevation is the wall plane shown in elevation as measured from the top of the first floor to the bottom of the eave. Window openings are measured from the outside edge of the window frame, but do not included sills or lintels that are installed separately from the window. Window pane area is measured from the inside edge of the molding, muntin or mullion that borders the exposed glass area. Preferred • reflect architectural style • use of muntins to divide glass into unified sections of four (4) square feet or less, Discouraged ■ windows as dominant element • bay and bow windows as a prominent or repetitive element or not in scale with building and architectural style • sliding windows (does not include sliding doors) • between 25% and 50% of total window opening area on an elevation composed of undivided panes larger than eight (8) square feet • windows with undivided panes larger than 16 square feet located on the outer face of the building not screened from an off - premise view A n Shaded area denotes elevation Window oper��T IEVAMN P: Gulf Stream Design Manual January 30, 1995 Areawide Standards V-8 Revised "July 18, 1997 B. GULF STREAM - BERMUDA STYLE ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS Gulf Stream - Bermuda style architecture refers to the majority of houses in Gulf Stream that exhibit a combination of Bermuda, British Colonial, or Georgian characteristics. Gulf Stream - Bermuda style architecture places emphasis on simple, straightforward design. Roofs are a predominant and identifiable feature. Gulf Stream - Bermuda style roofs do not recycle rain water as Bermuda roofs do, but the white tiles do reflect the heat of the sun and the extended overhangs provide shade and shelter from our rainy climate. Decorative chimneys adorn most roofs, while contrasting details such as shutters and doors add interest and charm to this style. 1. BUILDING FORM Most Gulf Stream - Bermuda style houses are patterned after simple rectilinear forms. Although the majority are rectangles, many houses have L- and U- shaped layouts. Most Gulf Stream - Bermuda style houses are one story and often exhibit a central peak flanked by peaks over projecting wings . Two -story houses should pay particular attention to reducing the size of the second floor and applying articulation such as balconies, setbacks, and other design techniques to avoid "box- like" massive buildings. The use of stepbacks is appropriate to reduce excessive bulkiness and provide a transition between first and second stories. A few critical stepbacks on a building are better than several minor stepbacks that only complicate the facade and create "busy architecture." Preferred • simple rectangular configurations • stepbacks to second story • smaller second story configurations • single story garages • balconies Discouraged ■ angular walls complex facade treatment (excessive multi -layer stepbacks) January 30, 1995 `Revised "July 18, 1997 Stepbacks, smaller second story, single story garage, and a balcony help to articulate and give appropriate scale to this house (preferred). Gulf Stream Design Manual Predominant Architectural Styles VII -12 3. WINDOWS Gulf Stream - Bermuda windows are typically small in scale and proportioned to wall coverage. Rectilinear in form, these windows have several small panes in each window rather than one large pane of glass. Preferred • small multi -paned • rectilinear form ■ casement to reflect color of building ■ keystone over lintel ■ pronounced sill and/or lintel Discouraged • windows as dominant element • bay and bow windows as prominent feature • paired and triple windows • Palladian window • sliding window Prohibited • floor to ceiling windows greater than one story • reflective glass visible from street • glass block visible from street • jalousie windows visible from street • picture windows over 3' visible from street • more than 50% window openings on an elevation (there must be a higher % Of wall area than window area) _�•��- Yu.... 11- -Iuuw, w,uiasung snurrers rronouncea sill. lintel, keystone detail (Preferred) U Palladian windows (Discouraged) Gulf Stream Design Manual January 30, 1995 Predominant Architectural Styles VII -14 `Revised "July 18, 1997 DISCOURAGED ■ Discouraged items are design elements that should not be used in order to maintain the desired character and quality of the Zoning District within which they are located. These items are not typically found in Gulf Stream and detract from the existing and desired character of the Town and the Zoning Districts. Discouraged items are thought to not comply with the following goals with respect to desired Zoning District character and quality ■ consistency of neighborhood character ■ consistency of architectural style ■ consistency of building form and mass ■ consistency of materials and colors ■ consistency of location of elements ■Q Incorporating discouraged items into a design decreases the probability of project approval and may result in project denial. In order for a discouraged item to be approved, applicants must show, and the Town must find, that the proposed item is not inconsistent with the above goals. The use of more than three discouraged items on any property is prohibited. PROHIBITED ■ Prohibited items are design elements that do not maintain the desired character or quality of the Zoning District within which they are located and are not permitted under current codes or regulations. ■ The use of more than three discouraged items on a property is prohibited. ■ Use of prohibited elements mandates project denial. Please note that the Design Manual constitutes only one small sub - section of the Land Development Regulations found in the Town's Code of Ordinances. While compliance with the standards found in Articles I through VIII of this Manual is essential to final project approval, compliance with several additional standards and criteria also may be necessary before a building permit can be issued. Accordingly, users of this Manual are strongly advised to familiarize themselves with all federal, state and/or Town regulations that might apply to a particular type of project. To assist in determining which Town regulations may apply, users are encouraged to review the tables and flow chart contained in Article IX, Section B of this Manual. Users also are encouraged to direct questions to, and share information with, Town Planning staff as early as possible in the plan development stage. Gulf Stream Design Manual January 30, 1995 Introduction 1-6 `Revised "July 18, 1997 Traditional construction materials include local indigenous cedar, for rafters and floor joists, and limestone, which is easily quarried and used as blocks for walls and tiles for roofs. Almost all Bermuda roofs are tiled and whitewashed. The tiles usually overlap in the fashion of slates or shingles in horizontally parallel rows. Each tile or "slate" is 1' /z" thick and measures approximately 10" wide by 12" long. The entire roof surface is heavily coated with a watertight whitewash to maintain the purity of the rain water which is channeled and saved in storage tanks below the house. The eaves have a small projection of only 6 -10" which are supported by exposed rafter tails. This type of eave was adapted to Bermuda architecture to prevent the occasional hurricanes from destroying or up- lifting the roofs. Roof styles vary, including hipped roofs and roofs with gables. Often a combination exists on the same house. There is no standard angle or pitch. Roof surfaces are never interrupted by dormer windows, and roof spans are small, often under 18 feet. Limited spans restrict large floor plans and contribute to the general small scale of Bermuda houses. Floor plans are a simple succession of rectangular rooms often forming square, U- shaped, and L- shaped configurations. When the house became too small, additional rooms were added as projecting wings to the original plan. This was often done in an incremental fashion, but frequently resulted in symmetry and order. «0- Diagram showing typical Bermuda house layouts and effects of limited spans Gulf Stream Design Manual January 30, 1995 Historic Survey IX-C -6 "Revised "July 18, 1997 O Y G T 0 DI I � f a ✓/ 5 97 .t/C.P /,s� 11_ V- z r n'• � I 4A.PA6E N 11.5' T St! 6 � B.Pi c� �A ✓E.P O.P/ ✓E N 6.P cc Awlele V �..^ r• A ✓ft i;+ C. +cc j • � boa, ff D r -- �o le I � h, - - - \ � I•� e r J In i rfA0 e i3 A -4 N I� V- z r n'• � I 4A.PA6E N 11.5' T St! 6 � B.Pi c� �A ✓E.P O.P/ ✓E N 6.P cc Awlele V �..^ r• A ✓ft i;+ C. +cc j • � boa, ff D r -- �o le PA,Af.✓ elwe /CNlE r rv.e' to.S• ', + 13.7 i I 4 A1ffA[ .oe/.✓/ J/ 1 R; ;> &A f., M m _ � -: ! � ° �� BESiN.✓n✓G ::✓el O .t/.

HEWLETT KENT 520 MIDDLE ROAD GULF STREAM, FL 33483 Ms. Kristin Kern Garrison, AICP Town of Gulf Stream Town Hall 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, FL 33483 -7427 Dear Kris, May 11, 1998 Thank you very much for the time you spent regarding the proposed addition to 520 Middle Road. To simplify your review process, I have subjected the proposal to all the applicable design standards as set forth in the Gulf Stream Design Manuel. Does the proposed addition meet the Area wide Standards and the Gulf Stream - Bermuda Style Architectural Standards as set forth in the Design Manuel? Yes it does, in fact to the letter. There are no Discouraged or Prohibited features in the proposed addition. Better yet, the proposal eliminates all the Discouraged and Prohibited features that exist presently including, greater than 50% glass, > 50% of the glass in "undivided" panes and use of step backs (before the bath addition there were no step backs). In addition to eliminating all Discouraged and Prohibited elements, the proposed addition incorporates the recommended Preferred elements and Other Features (Preferred) as set forth in the Gulf Stream Design Manuel. Only one element, keystone detailing, (Sec. VII p.18) is not incorporated in the proposal, but could be added on the addition above the doors. Lack of clearance between the windows and the bottom of the existing eaves does not allow room for keystones on the rest of the house. Following is a detailed summation of the "Area Standards" (Sec. V p.2 — 23) and a list of features pertinent to the proposal. 1.Architectural Style - Preferred - Discouraged - Prohibited 2.Building Form - Preferred Gulf Stream - Bermuda style there are no discouraged features there are no prohibited features use of step backs (rear elevation incorporates one step back. Addition will add 2 step backs) - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features Roof Design, Slope and Materials - Preferred hip roof / simple roof geometry / Low pitched roofs / the roof material / gutters and down spouts designed as a continuous architectural feature /exposed gutters and down spouts painted to match adjacent roof or wall material / flashing, vent stacks, and pipes painted to match adjacent building surface / roof material true to architectural style - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features 4. Roof and Eave Heights - Preferred roof heights of 20' or less (The maximum roof height is 14' 7 ") / three or less roof features visible per building side / three or less eave lines / eave heights from 8' to 10'- 6" - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features 5. Windows (which may include doors for the Area wide Standards in Sec. V) Two areas of concern were raised with the doors used for the addition: In our meetings the doors in the proposed design have been referred to as a "Dominant Element ". This is a Discouraged element. The illustration on p, 10 of this section is used to illustrate windows as a Dominant Element. The caption below the picture reads "Windows as a dominant element or "wall" are discouraged." The illustration shows an unbroken string of windows forming a "wall". This does not in any way represent the doors illustrated for the proposed addition. Furthermore continuous arches and arched doors this is a commonly used style of opening for the rear elevations of the Gulf Stream - Bermuda style houses. In fact five (5) arches grace the rear of one of the newest Gulf Stream - Bermuda houses in the Core District. (There is some question as to the definition of a door being a window. "(For the purposes of this section, lass panels in doors are considered to be windows, unless otherwise noted.)" (Sec. V p.8). The wording must be clarified in the next Design Manual if the entire door is to be considered a window.) Secondly, reference was also made to the doors being a "prominent or repetitive element ". In fact this verbiage, which reads "bay and bow windows as a prominent or repetitive element or not in scale with building and architectural style" (Sec. V p.8) applies to bay or bow windows. Quite simply, these doors are neither "bay windows" nor "bow windows ". In conclusion, the five (5) arched doors comply in the manual with respect to all Preferred elements and contain no Discouraged or Prohibited elements. - Preferred reflect architectural style use of muntins to divide glass into unified sections of four (4) square feet of less - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features 6. Shutters - Preferred shutters measure the full height and half the width of the window / shutters are traditional horizontal slat type shutters - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there is no prohibited shutter 7. Entrances - Preferred correspond to architectural style / are appropriate scale and proportion / are sturdy wood doors (panel, glazed, or combination - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features 8. Exterior Materials - Preferred are stucco / Use limited number (actually 2 stucco for trim and wood for shutters) of trim and accent materials / materials used in a consistent manner throughout the building / no change in materials / white / wood (for shutters) - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features 9. Garages and Accessory Buildings Not applicable 10. Color Color representative of style and structure. Various pastel colors characterize Gulf Stream - Bermuda style homes. Yellow 304 color with white trim and shutters match existing structure. 11. Additions and Rehabilitation - Required For existing homes identified as having one of the styles of architecture described in article VII of this Manual, the design of the addition or rehabilitated portion shall conform with all standards found in that article for the particular architectural style, unless the style of the entire structure is to be changed / the design of the addition or rehabilitate its portion shall match the design of the rest of the existing structure as closely as possible, unless the overall design of the entire structure is to be changed / the design of the addition shall represent a logical extension of the existing structure in terms of location, form, mass., design and use of design elements / the design of the rehabilitated portion shall not create a significant in consistency of design between the rehabilitated structure and the other structures on the property that are not to be rehabilitated / the additions and/or rehabilitated projects which exceed 75% of the value of the existing structure shall be considered to repeat `new' structures and shall be subject to the standards found in articles V and VI and VII of this manual - Preferred Replacement removal of the existing discouraged and prohibited design elements throughout the structure where ever possible (all sliding glass doors removed). / Use of preferred design elements wherever possible - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features The "Gulf Stream - Bermuda Style Architectural Standards" (Sec. VII-p. 12) follows basically the same format as the "Areawide Standards ". Since our house is categorized as Gulf Stream - Bermuda, following are the review standards applicable to the proposed addition. Since you expressed concern with respect to rectilinear forms, I thought some time should be spent on that issue. The manual reads: "1. Building form: Most Gulf Stream - Bermuda style houses are patterned after simple rectilinear forms. Although the majority are rectangles, many houses have L -and U- shaped Layouts." (Sec. VII p. 12) In fact, the majority of the Gulf Stream- Bermuda houses in Gulf Stream are not rectilinear. Of the approximately 91 Gulf Stream - Bermuda houses in the areas where Gulf Stream - Bermuda is the preferred style (Sec. VI p.2), there are only (3) rectangular houses. Sixty-one (6 1) are somewhat "L " -17, '7- 14, "U" -13, "H" -9, "T°' -4 and "Z "-4 shaped, if a fair amount of imagination is applied Six (6) Gulf Stream - Bermuda houses have angles or curves incorporated in their design. Eight houses (8) were so complex that no shape is applicable and 13 were unidentifiable. After a close examination of the various configurations of the existing Gulf Stream - Bermuda style houses, it appears that "simple rectangular configurations" and Gulf Stream - Bermuda style mutually exclusive considering the overwhelming majority of houses are "L" and "U" and also 'T', "IT", "T°', curved, angular, and "Z" shaped Certainly, the Gulf Stream - Bermuda style is not as simple and rectilinear in form as the manual suggests. The Historic Survey (Sec. IX -C p. 5-6) emphasizes the difference between Bermuda and Gulf Stream - Bermuda styles. I believe the description applies to true Bermuda rather than Gulf Stream - Bermuda style house. Applying the Gulf Stream - Bermuda Architectural Standards to the proposal for: Building Form - Preferred The house is a "U" shaped layout, one of the most prominent shapes in Gulf Stream with a singe story garage. The rest of the Preferred elements apply to 2 story houses. - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - .Prohibited there are no prohibited features listed Roofs - Preferred - Discouraged - Prohibited Windows Shutters Entrances Exterior Materials/Colors The roof is a hip roof with simple roof geometry emphasizing long horizontal lines with a 6:12 pitch, white tile, slightly smaller more Bermuda style 14" rather than 24 " -30" rroof overhangs, a decorative capped chimney, and everything painted to match the adjacent building surface, there are no discouraged features there are no prohibited features Does not apply. Does not apply. Does not apply. - Required principle building color from approved list (Benjamin Moore 304) - Preferred smooth stucco finish / wood (and stucco) trim / white (trim) and soft pastel color / contrasting trim white or neutral color quoins and keystones (7) - Discouraged there are no discouraged features - Prohibited there are no prohibited features Other Features - Preferred quoins / decorative Capped chimney / keystones (discuss) Garages/Accessory Buildings Does not apply The proposed addition incorporates all of the Required and Preferred features existing in the existing structure. It contains no Discouraged or Prohibited features. Following are quotes from the Gulf Stream Design Manual, which state the reason and purpose for the existence of the Design Manual. The following excerpts not withstanding, the design of the addition meets the letter of the guidelines set forth in the Areawide and Gulf Stream- Bermuda Style Standards. However, I firmly believe the proposal also reflects complete compliance with the intent Gulf Stream Design Manual as outlined below. Section I -p, l "The established residential patterns are now being threatened by a phenomenon known as " mansionization, "which is affecting older communities with rapid escalating property value. Mansionization is characterized by existing structures been demolished to make room for larger, more elaborate houses and has a potential to destroy the unique character and scale of Gulf Stream The desire to maintain unique residential character of the town led to adoption of this Gulf Stream Desian Manual." The proposed addition gives the house up to date interior space with minimal additional mass when viewed from the front elevation. The curve in the new rear wall minimizes the size of the proposed addition. Section II -p.2 "While the use of specific preferred design elements is not mandated for new homes or rehabilitation proiects, proposed projects must incorporate design features that are compatible with, and complementary to, the preferred elements and overall character of the district." All the preferred elements present and added to the existing structure have been carried over to the new structure. The only preferred Gulf Stream - Bermuda Style element not in the new structure are keystones. They could be added and may enhance the appearance. All Prohibited and Discouraged elements in the structure are eliminated by the addition. Section II -p.5 "Predominant exterior materials include white cement tile roofs and pastel stucco walls. Almost regardless of architectural styles in all cases the materials tend to be of the highest quality. Homes in the District contained a variety of window types; however, most have small glass panes by mullions or muntins. Some larger glass openings are found on the rear of the houses facing water. In addition a few homes have front courtyards enveloped by low walls and decorative fences that match the design of the House." Roofs will be white "color thru" cement tile on smooth pastel stucco walls All materials (and workmanship) will be of the highest quality. All glass openings have muntins and mullions and a low curved wall surrounds the front courtyard. Section V -p. I "If an overall positive ambiance is to be created, and historical integrity is to be preserved, both new and proposed improvements to existing architecture must respect and relate to their surrounding. The General Architectural Standards do not dictate a specific architectural style, but rather a general theme representative of Gulf Stream. This allows flexibility and creativity in meeting the standards." As stated before, the addition is in full compliance with the Gulf Stream Design Manual. Not only does it comply, but it eliminates an entire elevation of Discouraged and Prohibited features found on the Southern Elevation of the house. From the previous projects in progress, our goal is to only enhance the attractiveness of our house and bring it as much into line with the Gulf Stream Bermuda style that we find so attractive.
