Property Background
On October 27, 2022, a code violation was issued to the property owner (Case No. CC2022-10-
028) which included exterior work without a permit.
Request and Analysis:
The Applicant is proposing a major modification to an existing two (2) unit building located at
1106 Bel Air Drive. According to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser, the existing
building was built in 1980. Pursuant to Section 30-39 of the Town Code, major modifications to
existing buildings are described as follows:
“…that alter existing principal or accessory structures, including but not limited to
the building footprint, number of square feet, building height, number of dwelling
units, parking requirements, change in exterior facade, change of use, change of
roof line, change of elevation, all exterior walls, balconies, foundations, accessory
structures, and similar substantial improvements as determined by the building
official.
The proposed major modification consists of the following:
- Northern exterior façade changes including the removal of a decorative overhang,
removal of certain rounded arches and squaring off such openings, and altering the roof
line by adding three (3) roof crickets.
- A new second floor deck at the rear of the property.
- Additional 306 square feet of air conditioned area (“under AC”) including enclosure of
an existing second floor covered balcony at the rear of the property.
The Applicant is also proposing new landscaping at the property (see attached proposed Landscape
Plan) as well as a reconfiguration of the parking area. The request is in compliance with the off -
street parking requirement of two (2) parking spaces per unit for the RML zoning district . Note
that changes to the existing dock as provided in the Applicant’s rendering (sheet A -01.1) are not
included in the request for a major modification. Any proposed changes to the existing dock will
require a special exception approval from the Planning Board as provided in Section 30 -67 (Table
30-4) of the Town Code.
Pursuant to Section 30-22 of the Town Code, when acting in a decision-making capacity, the
Planning Board shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny applications for development
approval which includes major modifications.
Following an approval by the Planning Board and prior to initiation of construction, the Applicant
will be required to obtain a building permit from the Town of Highland Beach Building Department.
Pursuant to Section 30-21(g) of the Town Code, commencement of construction of the approved
major modification shall be initiated within two (2) years following the date of approval by the
Planning Board.

Description of Renovation Project for 1106 Bel Air Drive, Highland Beach, FL 33487
The property at 1106 Bel Air Drive, Highland Beach, FL 33487 consists of two parcels
known variously as Unit AB (PCN #24-43-47-04-03-000- 0072), and Unit C (PCN #24-43-47-04-
03-000-0071) (collectively, the “Property”). The structure on the Property is classified as a low
density RML Duplex. James Paris and Karin Mueller-Paris (the “Owners”) are married and
purchased Unit AB on December 31, 2000, and commenced plans to renovate Unit AB and were
issued permits for such renovation in November 2021 (the “Original Permits”). Before such
renovations on Unit AB commenced, the Owners acquired Unit C through a Florida LLC they
formed known as BAHB, LLC, on December 22, 2021. The Owners own all interests in BAHB, LLC
and formed the LLC because of their intention offer Unit C as a rental property.
The Owners are working with the Architect Shane Ames, of Ames International (Delray
Beach), and the General Contractor Chris Beale, of Bealecon Construction, LLC (Boca Raton), to
complete their intended renovations. The Owners intend to make Unit AB their permanent
residence as soon as the interior renovations allow for occupancy and intend to offer Unit C as
a long-term or seasonal rental property.
The Owners would like to highlight that as part of their intended renovations, they will
be refreshing the landscaping of the Property with new paving stones and plantings and the
plans include a significant expansion of the percentage of planted (or otherwise pervious
materials) areas versus impervious areas as compared to the existing site. The Owners’ plans
create much better drainage qualities both because of the planted and pervious areas and
additional investments in drainage control on the Property. Certain other aspects of the
planned landscaping involve bringing the existing property into code compliance (planted areas
along perimeter borders with neighbors, removal of a tree interfering with a power line, etc.).
The following aspects of the Owners’ intended renovations constitute a major revision
and are the subject of this DOA application:
- the Northern exterior façade (facing Bel Air Drive) will be refreshed with a more
modern aesthetic by removing a decorative false mid-level tiled overhang and certain rounded
arches and squaring off such openings, and the roof line will be altered by adding three roof
crickets
- Unit AB will add a fixed covered canopy/pergola on the southeast corner of the
structure
- A covered porch area on the second level of Unit AB will be enclosed by new sliding
glass doors
