agents for Margaret Price, owner, and George Dragas,
contract purchaser of the property located at 3210 Polo
Dr., Gulf Stream, Florida, legally described as Lots 16 &

Town Manager Thrasher pointed out that the square footage on the agenda
C and the staff report should be corrected to read 7780 square feet. He
added that in the staff report, Section 70-99 Roof design, slope and
material, should be a preferred element and the report be corrected to
show that the application has only one discouraged element.
Town Clerk Taylor explained that in the original application that was
presented, staff felt that there was one side of the house that could
have been more attractive. No changes were brought in and the agendas
and notices were sent out. After that an amended plan was submitted
showing the improvement to the questionable elevations that also changed
the square footage but was still under the allowable FAR.
Mr. Juriga displayed a site plan and a color rendering of the proposed
home. He explained that the project includes the demolition of the
existing house and the construction of a one story Bermuda style house
with a pool and spa, three car garage, white tile roof, exposed rafter
tails and a white smooth stucco finish on the walls. Mr. Juriga
explained that the front door would be glazed mahogany with sidelights,
not a white entrance door as the rendering shows. Mr. Juriga stated that
most of the landscaping would remain and the large banyan tree on the
building pad would be relocated or replaced with a 40' live oak tree in
the circle of the driveway. He added that the existing wall would
remain.
Chairman Wheeler complimented the design and noted that the existing
dock would not conform to the new dock regulations. The Chairman
confirmed that the roof tile would be white color thru.
Mr. Juriga stated that the dock is in disrepair and needs to be
replaced. He assured the Board that it would conform to the new
regulations.
The Board members complimented the design.
