Associates, as Agent for Harry & Deborah Sargeant, the
owners of property located at 1420 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf
Stream, Florida, which is legally described as Lots 11 &
12, Donald McLouth Subdivision.
Mr. Marsh displayed a site plan and a rendering of the proposed second
story addition over the existing garage and the laundry room over the
carriage way creating a bridge to the second floor of the existing
single story dwelling. He explained that the addition includes a gym
and small living quarters for the caretaker consisting of a bedroom and
living area. Mr. Marsh mentioned that this addition was always
anticipated and may be the last addition. It meets all of the setbacks,
leaving additional room for expansion. He is introducing dormers, an
elliptical element to the Gym window and has created an outside stairway
as an exit for safety purposes. The existing roof will be slightly
modified in one small section to create a seamless connection to the
addition and the new roof tiles will match the existing roof tiles,
which are Village Green cement.
Chairman Ganger asked for Staff comments and there were none.
Chairman Ganger asked for Board Member comments which were as follows:
Vice Chairman White inquired about the color of the aluminum railing.
Mr. Marsh replied that the aluminum railing would be a baked -on green
and added that there will be no new material or color introduced for
this project and that all material used will be consistent with the
existing material and color. The Board Members commented that the
proposed project is very lovely and elegant. Mrs. Jones was concerned
with the elliptical Gym window until Mr. Marsh pointed out that it ties
in with the elliptical shape of the Gazebo window.

the Commission, they confirm that the candidate is interested in serving

from various areas of the Town. He stated that Christine from the
