to the Town Manager.
A. Items related to previous applications
(Continued from May 27, 1999 and June 24, 1999)
1. Submitted by Gerald Urbanek, 3777 Gulf Stream Road, Gulf
Stream, Florida pursuant to a condition of approval.
a. Revised landscape plan
Mr. Dan Carter, Landscape Architect and Agent for Mr. Urbanek, presented
a revised landscape plan showing the addition of three Cassia
surrentensis trees, which will grow to a height of 15 feet, at the
corner of the garage/driveway area. The plan also indicated the
relocation of a Gumbo -limbo tree. Mr. Carter then offered an alternate
design that would add just one Jatropha tree at the southwest corner of
the garage.
Chairman Wheeler pointed out that this plan does not address the problem
in that neither the south or west wall of the garage have been softened
With the location of new plantings. He remarked that he was
�- disappointed that Mr. Urbanek did not supply a rendering as he
remembered Mr. Urbanek nodding his head in agreement to the rendering,
even though there is no verbal acknowledgement on the tape.
Mr. Carter advised that there is not enough room between the sidewalk
and the garage to plant much vegetation.
Mr. Hornberger stated that he also was expecting to have a rendering and
did not appreciate opening up the packets and each time finding a letter
from Mr. Urbanek's attorney stating they are providing something other
than what the Board had requested. Mr. Hornberger pointed out that Mr.
Architectural Review & Planning Board
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
July 29, 1999 '
page 3
Urbanek had felt it would be too expensive to furnish a rendering. He
suggested that perhaps Mr. Urbanek should be reminded how expensive it
would be if he was ordered to tear down the added portion of the wall
that was not a part of the original approval.
Mr. Frankel also felt a rendering should have been submitted and was
C} sorry that the Board was receiving very little cooperation from the
owner.
Chairman Wheeler pointed out that the location of the sidewalk had not
received previous approval from the Board as a part of the project.
Noting that the sidewalk is constructed of brick, Chairman Wheeler
stated that it could be moved in order to accommodate acceptable
landscape material.
All members were in agreement.
Mr. Kent believed an elevation looking from the center of the property
to the south side of the garage, about 95 degrees, which shows mature
vegetation that will mitigate the impact of the extended wall, should be
provided. He further believed that there should be some type of
agreement to assure this is done.
Mr. Hornberger agreed, adding that none of this is the fault of the
Board and it is important that the Board be furnished with the material
that will aid them in arriving at a proper decision.
Attorney Randolph advised that the Board should advise Mr. Urbanek as
to what, exactly, he needs to do to come into compliance, with a time in
which to achieve compliance. And further, if he is not in compliance, he
could be subject to a hearing in front of the Special Master at which he
would have an opportunity to present his case, and there would be an
opportunity for the Town to issue a daily fine until he comes into
compliance.
Mr. Kent moved that Mr. Urbanek be directed to provide an accurate, well
done rendering, which includes the sidewalk, showing the perspective
from the center of the house looking toward the garage, south, showing
the effect that mature landscape material will have on the garage in
order to mitigate the unapproved addition that was made. Also, this
.� material shall be provided for the September 23, 1999 meeting no later
than September 13, 1999. Should this material not be provided to the
satisfaction of the Board, both in quality and timeliness, Mr. Urbanek
will be found in non-compliance with an order of the Board and in non-
compliance with a condition that was placed on the approval of the
garage extension. Such non-compliance will be considered a violation
and the staff will take the appropriate action. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Frankel. Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr.
Frankel; AYE, and Chairman Wheeler; AYE.

B. Applications for Development Approval
1. An application submitted by Mark Marsh, as Agent for Dr. &
Mrs. William Caskey, the owners of the property located at
3110 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Florida, which is
legally described as the South 50 feet of Lot 36 and Lot
37, less the South 25 feet, in Gulf Stream Properties
�} Subdivision.
Mark Marsh, Agent for Dr. & Mrs. Caskey, explained that the existing
structures will be demolished, the existing pond in the front will be
filled in, and a two-story Georgian, Anglo/Caribbean (more Georgian)
style will be constructed. Mr. Marsh explained that the center portion
of the structure will be two-story with a rather formal appearance and
there will be a one-story wing on each side that extends to the west.
He further explained that the height of the two-story roof was extended
two and one half feet over the 30' maximum permitted in order to achieve
the most attractive pitch on the roof. He added that they are willing
to reduce this to the 30' and believe they can still keep the more
desirable pitch. Mr. Marsh expressed his disagreement with the comment
from Urban Design with regard to the two bay windows and the Palladium
window on the front elevation, and added that the client preferred a
more formal style that could not be achieved if there were exposed
rafter tails as opposed to the closed banding at the eave.
Mr. Marsh stated that a curved driveway is planned and additional
landscape material planted in order to screen a view of the home from
AlA. He added that the access off AlA and Gulf Stream Road will remain
the same as exists.
Mr. Kent noted that there are quoins only on the front of the home. He
also observed that the chimneys are shown on the drawing as square and
he questioned if there will be anything on top of the chimneys.
Mr. Marsh advised they had considered quoins on the entire structure but
had determined this appeared to be overdone. In regard to the chimneys,
he stated there would be nothing on top and that his draftsman had made
an error in drawing square chimneys as they will be rectangular, 31x4'.
Mr. Hornberger asked Mr. Marsh if he is in agreement to change the
location of the windows on the side elevations as suggested by Urban
Design and Mr. Marsh replied that he is in agreement with this and would
revise the plans.
a. A NORTH OCEAN BOULEVARD OVERLAY PERMIT
Mr. Frankel moved and Mr. Hornberger seconded to recommend approval of a
North Ocean Boulevard Overlay Permit, based on a finding that the
proposed improvements are consistent with the AlA landscape enhancement
project. Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr. Frankel;
Aye, and Chairman Wheeler; AYE.
b. A LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
demolition of the existing structure and the
construction of a 2 -story single family Gulf Stream
Bermuda/Anglo-Caribbean style dwelling.
Architectural Review & Planning Board
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
July 29, 1999 '
page 5
Mr. Frankel moved and Mr. Kent seconded that approval of a Level 3
Architectural/Site Plan Review be recommended for demolition of the
existing residence and construction of a new two-story residence, based
on a finding that the proposed home meets the intent of the Design
Manual and applicable review standards subject to the following:
1) A Construction Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted prior to
C) the issuance of a building permit application. This plan shall be
reviewed and Approved by the Town Manager and followed during
construction. 2) Overall roof height shall be lowered from 32'5" to a
maximum of 30' as set forth in the Design Manual. In addition, any roof
features such as chimneys may not exceed 35' overall. 3) Prior to
permit, correct the FAR calculations as they pertain to the entry foyer.
The square footage should be counted double due to the ceiling being
over 151. Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr. Frankel;
AYE, and Chairman Wheeler; AYE.
2. An application submitted by Tim Diamond, as agent for
Delray Ocean Estates, Inc., the contract purchaser of the
property located at 600 Wrightway, Gulf Stream, Florida,
which is legally described in metes and bounds in Sections
3 and 4, Township 46 South, Range 43 East in Gulf Stream,
Florida, and currently owned by Bessie and John Connelly,
Jr.
Shane Ames, Architect for Delray Ocean Estates explained that there is
an existing one-story, Gulf Stream Bermuda style structure and it is
proposed that a second story be added and that the existing one -car
garage be extended into the north setback to accommodate two cars. He
pointed out that the Design Manual stipulates that all homes have a
minimum of a 2 car garage and they are requesting a variance of 6'9"
in order to meet this requirement. Mr. Ames further advised that they
plan to fill in the existing yacht basin and move the seawall to the
west to match the existing seawall on the adjacent property. He did
not feel that the proposed encroachment on the north side setback would
impact the adjacent property as that structure is constructed a very
considerable distance from the property line.
Mr. Frankel expressed concern that a precedent may be set if the
variance request were to be approved.
Mr. Hornberger stated he was not concerned about a precedent as each
J request is considered individually. He was concerned that this property
does not meet the 8 conditions to justify a variance approval.
Chairman Wheeler agreed and noted there was no comment from the adjacent
property owner.
Mr. Diamond advised that he had not spoken to the adjacent property
owner.
Chairman Wheeler stated that this is the time that the 8 conditions for
justification should be addressed, the first being: That special
conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,
Architectural Review & Planning Board

structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other
lands, structures or buildings in the same zoning district.
All Board Members agreed that the property under consideration does not
meet this first review standard and there is no need to review the other
7
C since all 8 must be met to justify a variance approval. In regard to
the requirement that all homes have a double garage, it was pointed out
that this only applies to new homes.
a. VARIANCE to permit the expansion of a one car garage
to a two -car garage that would encroach approximately
619" into the required 15' north side setback.
Mr. Hornberger moved and Mr. Kent second the motion to recommend denial
of the variance request in that the first condition for justification
was not met. Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr.
Frankel; AYE, and Chairman Wheeler; AYE.
The applicant was advised that he could move on to a review by the
Town Commission with an unfavorable recommendation from the Board, ask
for a continuance to the September meeting and file for a Special
Exception to extend the garage to the west, which would not increase the
existing encroachment on the north side, or revise the plan by removing
the requested garage extension and move forward to the Town Commission.
Mr. Diamond indicated that he would remove the garage extension and move
forward to the Town Commission in August.
b. A LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
construction of a second story addition consisting of
1,598 square feet, and first floor additions
consisting of 562 square feet, to an existing Bermuda
style single family dwelling at the address stated
herein.
Mr. Frankel moved and Mr. Kent seconded that approval of a Level 3
Architectural/Site Plan Review be recommended based on a finding that
the proposed plans are consistent with applicable review standards,
with the following conditions as recommended by staff: 1) Approval
from the Army Corp of Engineers shall be required prior to any fill
being added to the existing cove area on the southwest portion of the
site. This shall be secured prior to the issuance of a building permit.
^, 2) Any replacement driveway shall be designed to include a Swale, to
�) prevent the run-off of drainage onto the road and to facilitate the
free flow of drainage across the front of the property. 3) A construct-
ion Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted prior to the issuance of
a building permit application. This plan shall be reviewed and Approved
by the Town Manager and followed during construction. 4) Selection of
a primary building color that is one or two shades lighter than that
shown on the rendering. 5) Drainage Plans, prepared by a professional
engineer, shall be submitted prior to building permit. 6) The addition
shall comply with all FEMA regulations and procedures. 7) The plans
shall be revised to remove the additional encroachment on the north
side. The applicant indicated he is agreeable with the conditions.

Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr. Frankel; AYE, and
Chairman Wheeler; AYE.
3. An application submitted by Tim Diamond, as agent for
Delray Ocean Estates, the contract purchaser of the
property located at 550 Middle Road, Gulf Stream, Florida,
which is legally described as the south 50' of Lot 14 and
all of Lot 15 in Gulf Stream Cove Subdivision, and
currently owned by Whitin Capital, LLC.
Mr. Ames advised that this is a point lot with an existing structure
that will be demolished. The proposed home is designed for a full view
of the Intracoastal Waterway with a wide expanse of lawn adjacent to the
Waterway. Pointing to the proposed site plan, he noted that due to the
shape of the lot, only a very small portion fronts the street which is
actually a hammerhead at the dead end street. He advised that with a
circular drive in front of the home and landscape material in place, the
new structure will hardly be visible from the street. Mr. Shane closed
his presentation by advising this is a two-story light yellow color Gulf
Stream Bermuda style structure with mahogany stained shutters, adding
that the eave height is 24' which seems justified on a structure of this
mass. He was aware this is a discouraged feature.
Chairman Wheeler asked Mr. Ames where he would find 1'6" if the Board
directed the eave be lowered to 2216".
Mr. Ames stated he would reduce the ceiling height on both floors.
All of the Board Members indicated they were comfortable with the 24'
height on this particular design.
Mr. Ames advised that the client intends to replace the asphalt driveway
with pavers and may want to extend them into the hammerhead.
He was advised that extending them onto the right-of-way would be a
matter that would require an agreement with the Town, which would not
be a part of the ARPB review.
a. A LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
demolition of the existing structure and the
construction of a 2 -story single family Bermuda style
dwelling.
Mr. Hornberger moved and Mr. Frankel seconded that approval of a Level
3 Architectural/Site Plan be recommended for approval, based on a
finding that the proposed plans, with revisions, are consistent with
applicable review standards, subject to the following conditions:
1) Drainage Plans, prepared by a professional engineer, shall be sub-
mitted prior to building permit. The driveway shall be designed to
include a swale, to prevent the run-off of drainage onto the road and
to facilitate the free flow of drainage across the front of the
property. The drainage shall not be designed to direct run-off into the
ICWW. 2) A Construction Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted
prior to the issuance of a building permit application, and shall be
reviewed and Approved by the Town Manager and followed during
Architectural Review & Planning Board
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing

construction. 3) Driveway pavers and planting island may not extend into
the Town's right-of-way unless the Town Commission approves a maint-
enance and removal agreement. The driveway entry shall be redesigned
to include plantings or material changes that inform the public of the
distinction between public and private property. 4) The flat white tile
shall be installed with a mitered corner (pursuant to a request from a
neighboring property owner). 5) Wherever possible, shutters should not
overlap details such as quoins. 6) The Town Commission should delay
consideration of this item until the Town is provided with a warranty
deed showing ownership by Delray Ocean Estates or an agent authorization
form from Whiting Capital.
With regard to condition number 6, the Town Manager advised that the
closing on the property was to have taken place prior to this hearing
but had been delayed. She stated that it is scheduled for the next day.
Mr. Diamond confirmed that the closing would take place prior to the
Town Commission hearing.
Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr. Frankel; AYE, and
Chairman Wheeler; AYE.
Inasmuch as William Wietsma was not present when the Oath was issued,
the Town Clerk administered it at this time.
4. An application submitted by William Wietsma, as agent for
Wendy Overton, the owner of the property located at 2525
Pelican Lane, Gulf Stream, Florida, which is legally
described as the westerly 95' of the east 322.5' of the
northerly 107' of lot 25 in subdivision 9-46-43.
Mr. Wietsma explained that the existing home has only two bedrooms and
the owner would like to bring it up to current market standards and
those of the surrounding properties. He pointed out that by adding 396
square feet, the home would still be smaller than any in the
neighborhood. Mr. Wietsma further pointed out this addition would exceed
the FAR limitations by 295 square feet, and he advised that he is
requesting that a Special Exception be granted to exceed the maximum FAR
for an existing covered porch, adding that the porch could be removed
but that it adds to the appearance of the structure and is enjoyed by
the resident. Mr. Wietsma stated that the proposed addition would have
the same architectural features as the existing structure.
Town Manager Garrison advised that if such a Special Exception is to be
considered, it would be necessary to approve a variance from one of the
Special Exception Review Standards which provides that for each one
square foot of roof projection over the maximum permissible FAR, 2 ad-
ditional square feet of roof projection must be provided that are within
the maximum permissible FAR, and shall remain forever unenclosed. Mrs.
Garrison further reported that the applicant has submitted signed
support from the surrounding property owners for this project.

a. A SPECIAL EXCEPTION to exceed the maximum Floor Area
Ratio by 300 square feet for an existing covered,
unenclosed porch.
Mr. Frankel moved and Mr. Kent seconded that approval of the Special
Exception to retain an existing unenclosed porch that exceeds the
maximum permissible FAR by 295 square feet be recommended. Roll Call:
C; Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Frankel; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE, and Chairman
Wheeler; AYE.
b. VARIANCE, in relation to the Special Exception, from
one of the Special Exception Review Standards which
provides that for each one square foot of roof
projection over the maximum permissible FAR, 2
additional square feet of roof projection must be
provided that are within the maximum permissible FAR,
and shall remain forever unenclosed.
Mr. Frankel moved and Mr. Kent seconded that a Variance, in relation to
the Special Exception, granting relief from one of the Review Standards
be recommended for approval. Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger;
AYE, Mr. Frankel; AYE, and Chairman Wheeler; AYE.
c. A LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
construction of a first floor addition consisting of
396 square feet to the existing two-story single
family dwelling.
Mr. Frankel moved that, based on a finding that the proposed home meets
the intent of the Design Manual and applicable review standards,
approval be recommended for a Level 3 Architectural/Site Plan Review for
a 396 square foot addition, subject to the condition that a Construction
Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a
building permit application with the plan to be reviewed and Approved by
the Town Manager and followed during construction. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Kent. Roll Call: Mr. Kent; AYE, Mr. Hornberger; AYE,
Mr. Frankel; AYE, and Chairman Wheeler; AYE.
Chairman Wheeler passed the gavel to Vice Chairman Kent and excused
himself, explaining that he had a plane to catch.
5. An application submitted by S.P. Miller, as agent for
Henry S. Mellon, the owner of the property located at 4
Driftwood Landing, Gulf Stream, Florida which is legally
described as Lot 1, Driftwood Landing Subdivision.
Mr. Miller explained that the existing structure is a one-story Gulf
Stream Bermuda style and the proposed will be a two-story structure,
also a Gulf Stream Bermuda style, consisting of 2,311 square feet.
The new structure will contain a three -car garage and exercise room with
guest quarters above, and will be connected to the existing home by a
breezeway. He advised that this structure will replace an existing
875 square foot carport. Mr. Miller called attention to the revised
site plan that was just distributed and stated that the length of the
breezeway has been reduced from 12' to 10' due to there being an error
on the survey material that had been used originally. He advised that
this would not change the appearance.
Architectural Review & Planning Board
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing
July 29, 1999 '
page 10
Peg Ekberg, 5 Driftwood Landing, advised that the Deed Restrictions in
Driftwood Landing prohibit two-story construction. She stated that she
is not opposed to this particular two-story structure but expressed
concern that others would be approved in the subdivision. She asked
that the Board give assurances that this approval would not set a
precedent.
Attorney Randolph advised that the Town is not responsible for enforcing
Deed Restrictions, as that is a function of the Driftwood Landing As-
sociation. It was further explained that the Town has no restrictions
to prohibit two-story construction. Town Manager Garrison advised that
the Association had approved this project and that it is a common
practice for the Town to have comments from the various Associations
prior bringing an application before the ARPB.
a. A LEVEL 2 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit the
replacement of an existing 875 sq. foot carport with a
two-story, 2,311 square foot addition to include a
three -car garage and exercise room with guest quarters
above.
Mr. Frankel moved and Mr. Hornberger seconded the approval of a Level 2
Architectural/Site Plan Review for a 2,311 square foot addition, based
on a finding that the proposed structure meets the intent of the Design
Manual and applicable review standards, subject to the following
conditions: 1) A Construction Traffic Management Plan shall be submitted
prior to the issuance of a building permit application, which plan shall
be reviewed and Approved by the Town Manager and followed during
construction. 2) All current "open permits" shall be finalized/closed-
out prior to the issuance of a building permit for this addition. Roll
Call: Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr. Frankel; AYE, and Vice Chairman Kent;
AYE.
6. An application submitted by Roger Cope, as agent for
Anthony Johnston, the owner of the property located at 825
Canary Walk, Gulf Stream, Florida, which is legally
described as Lot 21, Place Au Soleil Subdivision.
Mr. Cope explained that the proposed addition would add approximately
1,000 square feet of living space and a small amount to the garage. He
advised that the existing staggered quoins would be changed to square
quoins and they would be extended around the entire structure. In
addition, a wide stucco foundation band is planned for the entire home
Jand 4' high walls on each side of the home are being added due to having
removed the screen pool enclosure. Mr. Cope stated that the original
plan had shown the existing flat roof being extended over the addition.
On being advised that flat roofs are prohibited, the roof was redesigned
to remove the flat roof on the addition. The existing flat roof will
remain.
Town Manager Garrison advised that in order to match in the new portion
of roof, it was not possible to eliminate the flat roof entirely.
Architectural Review & Planning Board
Regular Meeting & Public Hearing

page 11
Mr. Frankel asked if the glass in the rear of the structure met the
provisions of the Design Manual and he was advised that it does.
Vice Chairman Kent believed that it would look better if the foundation
band were to be lowered.
CMr. Cope advised that it was intended to match the height of the two
side walls at 4 feet. However, since he has learned that the walls must
be 5' high to meet pool enclosure requirements, he was in agreement that
the banding should be lowered to the bottom of the window sill of the
lowest window.
a. A LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to construct
additions consisting of 1,193 square feet to the
existing single family one story dwelling. The
additions expand the garage by 617" to the west and
add a master suite and dining area to the rear of the
home.
Mr. Hornberger moved and Mr. Frankel seconded that approval of a Level
3 Architectural/Site Plan Review, based on a finding that the proposed
plans are consistent with applicable review standards and subject to the
following conditions, be recommended: 1) A Construction Traffic Manage-
ment Plan shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a building permit
application, which plan shall be reviewed and Approved by the Town
Manager and followed during construction. 2) Drainage plans for the
rear of the site shall be submitted prior to, or concurrent with, an
application for a building permit. The drainage plan shall be designed
to prevent adverse impacts on neighboring properties. 3) Stucco
foundation banding shall be lowered to the height of the lowest window
sill on the front elevation. 4) Pool enclosure shall comply with Code
Standards. Roll Call: Mr. Hornberger; AYE, Mr. Franakel; AYE, and
Vice Chairman Kent; AYE.
VII. Items by Staff.
A. Shutter Color @ 2770 Cardinal Circle -permissible shades of
red
Town Manager Garrison displayed pictures of the subject property and a
color chart along with the paint formula. She requested that the Board
give consideration as to whether the color would be considered a shade
of red which is prohibited in the Design Manual.
The Board was in unanimous agreement that the color is a shade of red,
noting that the formula contained several different shades of red. Mr.
Frankel had driven by the property and noted that the shutters are even
more reddish than the pictures reflect.
B. Review of Design Manual and Related Codes
It was agreed that there was not time to continue the Manual review due
to the length of the agenda. The Town Manager suggested that since
there is not another meeting until late September, the Board Members
call her if they have questions about any of the items so the remainder
of the review can be completed in a timely manner.

a shade of blue that he is considering for shutters on the home at 3223
Polo Drive. She advised that the Board had originally approved dark
i 1 green but Mr. Wietsma had noticed that there are a number of homes using
the dark green and he wanted to make a change.
The Board and the Town Manager felt the color was too light for a Gulf
Stream Bermuda style and directed that a darker shade of blue be
selected for example, slate blue.
