Chairman Ganger asked if there was any indication that the applicant who
applied for construction of a 2 -story garage/studio was moving forward
on his project. Clerk Taylor said they have applied for a building
permit, but it has not yet been issued by the City of Delray Beach.
Chairman Ganger explained that there were issues and a lot of time was
spent on the matter. He said that it was originally denied by the ARPB
and brought to the Town Commission where it was approved.
C" Clerk Taylor administered the oath to Mark Marsh of Marsh & Associates,
agent for Mr. and Mrs. Scott Morgan. Mr. Morgan did not participate in
the matter of this application in that he is the owner of the subject
property.
VI. PUBLIC HEARING.
A. Application for Development Approval CONTINUED FROM 2-25-10
1. An application submitted by Mark Marsh, Bridges, Marsh &
Associates, as agent for Scott and Lisa Morgan, owners of
the property located at 1140 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream,
Florida, which is legally described as part of Lots 7 and
8 in Golf Course Addition.
a. LEVEL 2 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW & SITE PLAN
REVISION to permit enlargement of a previously
approved addition, construction of a roof over a porch
to replace a previously approved trellis and the
addition of a small one-story storage area, a total of
837 square feet, to an existing Anglo-American single
family dwelling.
Mr. Marsh introduced himself, thanked the Board for regrouping to hear
Mr. Morgan's application and explained that the Morgan's are requesting
two additions to their previously approved project. He said an addition
for a storage area on the back of the garage was previously approved and
the Morgan's would like to enlarge that storage area. In addition, he
said that an open trellis over a loggia was previously approved, which
the Morgan's now wish to cover with the construction of a roof over the
porch to replace the trellis. Mr. Marsh distributed photos showing the
previously constructed laundry room and the porch covered by the
trellis. He said that all of the materials to be used will match the
existing and they have complied with all of the setbacks.
Chairman Ganger asked if the storage area will be under air. Mr. Marsh
Jstated that it would not be air conditioned at this time and will be
used primarily for storage. Mrs. Jones asked if the storage area will
accommodate all of the bins. Mr. Marsh said it would and stated that
the storage area will be completely out of sight. He said they are
relocating some electrical service connections, but they are enlarging
the space which will clean up the entire area and it will be impossible
to see either by driving or entering the property. Mr. Smith asked if
the additional roof will be flat or pitched. Mr. Marsh stated that the
roof will be sloped as a continuation of the existing roof. Mrs. Jones
said that it will give the home a cleaner appearance. Mr. Murphy asked
Mr. Marsh to clarify whether the style of the house is Anglo-American or
Architectural Review and Planning Board
Special Meeting and Public Hearing - March 3, 2010 Page 3
Anglo -Caribbean. Mr. Marsh confirmed that it is an Anglo -Caribbean
style dwelling. Chairman Ganger asked if there were further comments.
Mrs. Jones asked if any neighbors have expressed concern. Clerk Taylor
said she did not receive comments from neighbors and Mr. Marsh stated
that this project will have no impact on the neighbors.
Mr. Thrasher said the Code states that demolition or new construction
greater than 300 SF requires the application to be heard at a higher
level than administratively. Mr. Marsh said he understands staff's
position by Ordinance, but with a covered patio which is open space, and
a storage area that falls under the 300 SF limit, he made a mild
argument that this was something staff could review. Chairman Ganger
said that matters which may seem trivial can end up being controversial
due to a certain design feature. He said it is difficult to write a
code that covers every eventuality and this case could have been a close
call. Mr. Marsh said he knows Mr. Thrasher and Clerk Taylor have a lot
of experience, but if there is anything slightly controversial they turn
it over to the Board as a safety net. Mr. Thrasher said that staff has
made changes to plans that have been heard and approved by the Board,
but it must fall within guidelines that cannot be specifically called
out in the Code as to prohibiting it and, in this case, the Code is
clear. Mr. Smith said that, as a neighbor, he would want to know of any
controversy and said it was a good idea to bring it to the Board because
there is a lot of new mass there and any more would be undesirable.
Mr. Smith moved and Ms. Jones seconded to approve the Level II
Architectural /Site Plan based on a finding that the proposed addition
of a roof over a porch and the addition of a small one-story storage
area, a total of 837 SF, to an existing Anglo -Caribbean single family
dwelling meets the minimum intent of the Design Manual and applicable
review standards. There was no further discussion. All voted AYE.
VII. Items by Staff. Clerk Taylor noted that there will be no March
Meeting.
VIII. Items by Board Members. There were none.
IX. Public. There were none.
X. Adjournment. Chairman Ganger asked for a motion to adjourn the
meeting. Mr. Smith moved and Mr. Morgan seconded to adjourn the
Jmeeting. There was no discussion. All voted AYE. The meeting was
adjourned at approximately 8:50 A.M.
