Applications for Development Approval 1. An application submitted by Seaside Builders, as Agent for Morgan & Kathryn Zook, the owners of property located at 10 Driftwood Landing, Gulf Stream, ARPB Regular Meeting & Public Hearing March 24, 2016 @ 8:30 A.M. Florida, which is legally described as Lot 5 Driftwood Landing Subdivision. Mr. Jones advised he had spent some time analyzing the existing Driftwood Landing neighborhood and commented that it is unique, has large lots and heavy, mature landscaping and they are proposing to construct a 6,144 sq. ft. Georgian style home on the lot which is on a cul-de-sac. He pointed out that this is a partial two-story dwelling with the majority of the building on the ground floor. He further Ci pointed out that the color of the home will be a soft earth tone with a grey slate like flat concrete tile roof and bronze windows. He called attention to the limestone cladding on the columns and lattice work on the front of the house and garden walls. Mr. Jones pointed out there is nearly complete landscape screening on the north, south and the east with the normal landscaping to the west. He called special attention to a very large existing stragler fig that will remain on the north east corner of the property. He confirmed that the hedge will be planted between the chain link fence and the neighbors. Mr. Kent questioned the bronze windows on the Georgian style home but in discussion it was agreed that they fit well on this particular structure and in the surrounding neighborhood. Mr. Michael Mullin, 1010 N. Ocean Blvd., received the Oath from the Clerk and advised that he is the neighbor directly to the east of this property and that he had no objection to this proposed development. The Town Clerk advised that the representative of the Driftwood Landing Association had given verbal approval but there had been no remarks from anyone else. Mr. Rubini pointed out that on the page L1 of the plans it lists the Strangler Fig as being removed to which Mr. Jones replied that is an error as the material given to him by the landscape architect clearly states the Strangler Fig will stay in its current location. a. DEMOLITION PERMIT to remove existing structures Mr. Dockerty moved to recommend approval of a Demolition Permit to allow the removal of existing structures. Vice Chairman Smith seconded the motion with all voting AYE at roll call. b. LAND CLEARING PERMIT to permit clearing for const. 0 Mr. Dockerty then moved to recommend approval of a Land Clearing Permit to clear the site for construction with the exception of the existing Strangler Fig which will remain. Mr. Murphy seconded this motion and all voted AYE at the roll call. c. SPECIAL EXCEPTION to permit 75 sq. ft. of covered, unenclosed area that exceeds maximum permitted FAR Mr. Dockerty then moved to recommend approval of a Special Exception to allow 75 sq. ft. of covered unenclosed roof projection that exceeds the E ARPB Regular Meeting & Public Hearing March 24, 2016 @ 8:30 A.M. maximum permitted floor area ratio and it was seconded by Mr. Kent with all voting AYE at roll call. d. LEVEL 3 ARCHITECTURAL/SITE PLAN REVIEW to permit construction of a 6,144 sq. ft. single family, partial 2 -story, Georgian style dwelling with 3 -car attached garage and a swimming pool. A motion was made by Mr. Dockerty to recommend approval of a Level 3 OArchitectural/Site Plan based on a finding that the proposed construction of a 6,144 sq. ft. single family, partial 2 -story, Georgian style dwelling with 3 -car attached garage and a swimming pool meet the minimum intent of the Design Manual and applicable review standards with the conditions that; 1) Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the owner of the property shall prepare and record a deed restriction which shall provide that all roof projection areas required to remain unenclosed as per approval of the special exception shall remain so for as long as the structure is in existence or exceeds the maximum permissible FAR. 2) Prior to final approval, the proposed site plan shall be provided to the Driftwood Landings Home Owners Association for their review and comments. 3) Any minor modifications in the landscape plan shall be submitted to the Town Manager for review and approval and any major modifications shall be brought back to the ARPB for review and approval, prior to commencement of landscaping. Mr. Kent seconded this motion and all voted AYE at the roll call. VII. Items by Staff. A. Ordinance 16/02 to prohibit solar panels facing waterway. The Town Manager explained that the purpose of this Ordinance is to clarify the location of solar panels on structures. It was determined that there is a conflict between what is written in the title of the ordinance and what is written in the detail within the various applicable sections. It was noted that currently solar panels are prohibited that face the street in single family districts and in multi- family districts solar panels that are visible from the street. In discussion it was agreed this language is what was intended. It is now being considered whether to add the words "or waterway" after the word street along with a definition of "waterway" which would read "Waterway shall mean any permanent body of water including the Intracoastal Waterway, Atlantic Ocean, canals, coves and basins." It was pointed out that in the title of the ordinance the phrase "view O from waterways" is used and applied to single family districts rather than just the multi -family districts. It was unanimously agreed that the word facing rather than viewed should be used for single family districts as the word "viewed" could possibly prevent some homes from being able to have any solar panels. Mr. Kent then moved to recommend to the Town Commission that Ordinance No. 16/02 be adopted subject to the changes that have been recommended herein. Mr. Murphy seconded the motion and all voted AYE at roll call. 3 ARPB Regular Meeting & Public Hearing March 24, 2016 @ 8:30 A.M. VIII. Items by Board Members.
