1987.05.13_PB_Minutes_RegularTOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA PLANNING BOARD • REGULAR MEETING - MINUTES Wednesday, May 13, 1987 9.30 A. M. A Regular Meeting of the Planning Board was called to order by Chairman Irving S. Saunders at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 13, 1987 in the Town Commission Chambers at Town Hall. The Recording Secretary called the roll. Also present were: Vice Chairman Doris R. Rome, Amelie Leng, Marvin A. Waldman, John E. Ward, and Alternate Member Chris H. Bartlett. Alternate Member Abe Futernick was absent. Also present were Town Attorney Thomas E. Sliney, Building Official Bruce Sutherland, Town Clerk Mary Ann Mariano, and Deputy Town Clerk Elizabeth L. Kolek. MOTION was made by Doris Rome, seconded by Marvin Waldman, to approve the Minutes of the April 8, 1987 Regular Meeting as submitted. All voted Aye. NEW BUSINESS: • In reply to Chairman Saunders question, the Building Official stated that he thoroughly reviewed the two plans on todays' agenda, Dieter Heuser (Lot 13, Block 3, Bel Lido) and Ince (Lot 3, Byrd Beach), and found them to be in order. There was some discussion regarding the Board's request that colors to be used on the outside of a building should be stated in the transmittal form for review of plans for single family homes since single family homes do not come before the Community Appearance Board for review of this aspect as multiple family dwellings do. Mr. Waldman stated that there is nothing in the Code which relates to an owner repainting any color at a later time. Attorney Sliney stated that an Architectural Review Board could regulate colors, textures, etc., which many jurisdictions now have but the Town does not have such a board. Chairman Saunders announced the next Agenda Item: DIETER HEUSER (LOT 13, BLOCK 3, BEL LIDO SUBDIVISION) PRELIMINARY/FINAL SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. Architect Ronald Miller (representing Mr. Heuser) was present and described the house briefly, two stories, stucco, Spanish "S" the roof, color was not chosen yet but could be submitted, and would have 3,992 square feet air-conditioned living space. The Board Members reviewed the plans with Mr. Miller and the Building Official. Since Mr. Miller stated that they were not planning to begin building in the next month, the Board requested that Mr. Miller provide them with I Planning Board May 13, 1987 Page 2 of 4 Regular Meeting Minutes • final landscape plans, where the pool equipment would be located, screen the air-conditioning units, and use different lighting fixtures, prior to the next Planning Board Meeting and will be on the Agenda for possible approval. Chairman Saunders announced the next Agenda Item: INCE/HERTEL BUILDING CORP. (LOT 3, BYRD BEACH SUBDIVISION) PRELIMINARY/FINAL SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE. Peter Ince was present (Attorney Eisen and Bernard Turner, landscaper, also present) and gave a brief description, single family home, single lot, single entry on A-1-A, no guard house. He said the idea of a common entrance with a guard house for the Byrd Beach lots has been given up for the present. The pool will be 36 by 17 feet, approximately. The house will be on the market at $3,000,000.00 and will have only the finest amenities. The "S" roof tiles will be charcoal grey, there will be no seawall, and the building will have piles. Mr. Ince felt it could be completed in one year. The Planning Board members reviewed the plans with Mr. Ince, Mr. Eisen, Mr. Turner, and the Building Official. After some discussion, MOTION was made by Marvin Waldman, seconded by Doris Rome, to approve the plan submitted by Peter Ince as a Final Approval, after a few minor suggested changes are made. The plan was approved unanimously. The rezoning of property in Town was discussed. The Planning Board thanked Building Official Sutherland for the shaded map of the vacant properties in Town which will help them when reviewing the properties for rezoning and updating the Comprehensive Plan. OLD BUSINESS: Town Attorney Sliney was requested to notify John Toshner (of Gee and Jenson) to be present at the June 10 Regular Meeting to discuss procedural aspects to meet State requirements in updating the Comprehensive Plan, vacant properties, and ocean front properties. Attorney Sliney stated that the first phase of updating the Comprehensive has been completed. In reply to Chris Bartlett's question as to what would happen to a condominium building if it were more than 70% destroyed, for whatever reason, Attorney Sliney stated that he knows of no test case on which to I • Planning Board Regular Meeting Minutes May 13,1987 Page 3 of 4 base an opinion, that all high rises in the Town are non -conforming, the Code states they cannot be rebuilt, it is a political problem, a variance could be requested from the Board of Adjustment, or the owners of units in a condominium can approach the Town Commission and see what could be worked out. This could be decided after an insurance settle- ment is made on the damaged property in question. In the past year, building requirements have been changed on barrier islands and the Coastal Construction Control Line has been moved more Westerly. Mr. Waldman asked if the Proposed Building Department Procedures had been approved by the Town Commission. Town Clerk Mariano stated that she had no knowledge of them being considered by the Town Commission. Town Manager Williams stated that the Proposed Building Department Procedures should be submitted by the Planning Board to the Town Manager, who will in turn submit it to the Town Commission for study and possible action and reminded the Board that they should be sure to submit any proposals and recommendations to the Town Commission through him, which is the proper procedure. MOTION was made by Marvin Waldman, seconded by Doris Rome, that the Proposed Building Department Procedures, dated June 11, 1986, be submitted to the Town Commission for approval via the office of the Town Manager. Doris Rome added that it should be submitted in time to be placed on the next Town Commission Workshop Agenda. After a roll call vote, the MOTION passed unanimously. Chairman Saunders asked that Vice Chairman Rome compose a cover Memorandum to be submitted with the Proposed Building Department Procedures, which she did as follows: "Attached to this Memorandum are 'Proposed Building Department Procedures', dated 6/11/86, which the Planning Board would like the Town Commission to take under advisement at their Workshop Meeting on 5/26/87, with the hope that they will, in the future, adopt these proposals as recommended by the Planning Board." The upcoming scheduled Public Hearing to be held by the Planning Board on 5/20/87 at 1:30 p.m., was discussed, the purpose of the meeting is to gain input from the public regarding the proposed Building Moratorium Ordinance. Attorney Sliney stated that the Board may or may not wish to recommend that this Ordinance be adopted, but the Town Commission is ready to take action in one way or another, in proper sequence. The consensus of the Board was to exclude single family homes from the Building Moratorium but include all other building. Attorney Sliney stated that a time limit for the ordinance also needs to be decided.
