THRASHER Town Clerk RRA L TAYLOR I feel it a privilege to take this opportunity to express my pleasure in working with Urban Design Studio for the past several years. One of my current roles as Town Manager for the Town of Gulf Stream is to review all single family applications for additions, renovations and new construction. This is accomplished by utilizing the Gulf Stream Design Manual which was prepared by Urban Design Studio (UDS). The team efforts between the Town and UDS produced an innovative set of regulations and design guidelines which, over the past decade, have eliminated the negative effect of mansionization in our community. As a testament to Urban Design Studio's capabilities, the design manual was so effective that it became integrated in its entirety into the Town's Code of Ordinances. The manual is easy to use and is effective in perpetuating the unique and charming residential. character of the Town of Gulf Stream. UDS continues to be an important part of the review process through ongoing architectural review services and code modifications as requested by the Town. The firm is always very responsive and has an experienced team of professionals which stands behind its work product. 100 SETA ROAD, GULF STREAM, FLORIDA 33483 The Town recognizes that we have unique needs, and UDS has been able to provide customized, quality services to accommodate those needs with effective solutions.
