which has been deferred from the prior meeting uh for Elcortio. Uh whoever is going to speak, would they please come to the podium? Good morning. Good morning. Would you please state your name? Yes. Valeria Kintania landscape architect environment
design group and I'll be representing Alortikho have the presentation. Yeah. They haven't. Okay. So I can start. Okay. So um just like a recap for this whole process. You know we came here four months ago uh with the
proposing relocation of the trash enclosure because of two issues. One it's an eyes sore. It's highly visible from the whole building. It's not attractive. And two, um, the difficulty of servicing the dumpsters.
Oh, thank you to the board and Dre and Rene. We were able to swap the dumpster for rolling bins and we also get the front door service, which has been great. However, we still want to solve the issue of the eyesore. And that's why
we're proposing to still relocate the enclosure, no connection to North Ocean Boulevard, modifying the walkway. So, um, it's not a straight view into the dumpster. And let's see if you guys can.
L3. Yes, L3.0. Um, you can see it's rotated. It's tucked in. Give us a few feet on the front where we can add more landscaping. We're not touching any of the existing trees. Like, we want to feel measured
it. And it's there's like this perfect spot where this can go. Um we want remove any of the large trees and we are also going to be taking away the low vegetation that it's mix of random plants and um invasive species. So it give us an opportunity to clean this
area. U at the bottom of that page there's the elevation of the enclosure. It's going to be six feet. So it's not a gigantic building. Um and we're also committed to put as much vegetation as possible. So, it's not visible from North Ocean Boulevard
and probably have L3.1. It's an exhibit that shows you the overlay of the existing enclosure versus a new one. So, you can see it's not a gigantic modification and it fits inside the same area.
And L sheet sheet L 4.0. It's a landscape plan. We have a um legastrom trees which are really good shady uh thick vegetation that will help us screen that enclosure and a mixture of lady palms and matrofern since that area
is very shady. And again as mentioned we're not going to uh oh sorry we're going to add more vegetation if needed to screen it from all sides. And uh last sheet has an image of the proposed reloation if needed. And again
just to recap uh we still want to relocate the trash enclosure. We're not proposing any access to nor ocean boulevard. There's no impact on existing trees or ponds. And again we're adding uh enough screening for this to not be
visible. Thank you. Um, do you have any questions or comments? I just appreciate that you guys have been doing this a couple of times, so thank you for coming with us. Thank you for the opportunity to get back. Um, Trey, there um the four 4.4 ft
set back from the property line is is acceptable because it's an out, right? Excuse me. So, in our review of the trash enclosure, we're viewing it more as walls rather than a minor accessory. Um, so because of that, uh, it we found
the setback to be sufficient. And has our neighbor to the north um had any comments about this or have they been notified? They were notified originally. Everybody's notified originally. Nothing. Nothing. Okay. Any other comments? If not, um, we make a
motion. Could we have a motion? Yes. Yep. I'll make a motion to approve a North Ocean Boulevard overlook permit for the relocation of an existing trash enclosure with landscape enhancements to screen and I second. Moved and second. Yes. Mrs.
Orwin. Yes. Vice Chairman Smith. Yes. And I'll make a motion to approve a level two architectural site plan for the relocation of an existing trash enclosure with landscape enhancements to screen enclosure with the following condition. Any minor modifications to the approved landscaping shall be submitted to the town manager for review
and approval and any major modification shall be brought back to the ARP for review and approval prior to commencement of landscaping. I second Mrs. Power. Yes. Mrs. Orwine. Yes. Vice Chairman Smith. Yes. Thank you very much. Nice to resolve this. Yes. Thank
you. Okay. Uh, next up on the agenda is again a continuation um from a deferral from the meeting on May 22nd for I believe the home at 4120 Old Ocean Boulevard.
You're back. I'm back. I had to switch the sets. Okay. Yeah. And yeah, the previous presentation last month was presented by Dustin, but I'll I'll be taking his spot now. So, um the
um the last presentation there was a series of changes, but the two ones that you guys had more questions was the removal of the black olives on the south property line and then also additional landscape in front of the the street and
the rightway. So, after the meeting, we met with the neighbor and she has approved the removal of the black olives. We also have a letter an email of consent that you may have received and you know these are invasive species.
Um they carry a pest that causes the the staining on the house and it has also uh after the meeting there was a burst of the pipe on our client's home and once they opened it up it was full of roots from one of the black olive trees. So,
um, we definitely want to remove them, but we're adding more trees to replace that area. And later we'll we'll show you an elevation. So, the first two sheets is a previously approved ARPB plan, the site plan and the landscape plan that was approved on
2023. It still had the walkways on the pool deck and also a solid walkway on the south connecting from the driveway to the pull deck. and those uh were proposing to be removed.
And then the second page, it's a a landscape plan which has a four black olives on the south and some additional screening that it's on North County Road. Um there was a five foot plia and fus green island over there.
Next sheet is the the um all the line items. So we're proposing to modify from one side to the other. Um you know the removal of the heartscape that it was previously mentioned that also help us increase the open space which is really
good for the house. Um we're not doing the stepping steps on the bottom. It's going to be more lawn. Um, and then some minor adjustments to the driveway. You know, the first one had a lot of lines and now it's a more simplified design.
So, uh, next page, please. So, this is the landscape plan that was presented last month. It had, uh, five green bottomwood trees that we, um, the board said there wasn't enough. So, on the next page,
we added one uh, two more trees actually. one on the south side and one on the north side. So they're more symmetrical since the house is very symmetrical. We just added to fill it in. And we also had that on the first ARPV from 2023.
And we have also brought back the um two lines of hedges. We searched the closure for Pocarpos hedge and fico's green island. So it's a two row going along the street. Um that will help us minimize the the direct view to the
house. And next she oops that's just the open space overall increasing from the removal of the heartscape. Next page on next page.
Can you go next? Next page. Next one. Okay. So, um this is the elevation that was presented last month. And on the next page, you will see with the additional tree. Um
yeah, that increases a buffer and u the same line of sight where the black olives are. We extended that length of trees. And next page um at the top view is what we presented last month. You didn't see this view,
but then the bottom image, it's how it would look with the neodyitional landscape that we're proposing. And I think that's it. You're going to have artificial turf in the driveway u between the cement
sections, I take it. Uh what about on the north side there uh along the edge? It looked a very small blade grass or it's artificial. Do you know where I mean? We're fa if we're facing the house on the on the right hand side.
Um, which one? Sorry. All right. So, right there that is that real grass there now. Um, we have it as grass proposed on our plan. It may look a little fake over there, but it Well, I couldn't It was so natural looking. I couldn't tell the small white grass or
it's artificial. Do we? Is it artificial now? Uh right now over there I'm not 100% sure but the house is still being in construction. Okay. But in but in your your finished plans that's going to be real grass. Correct.
So in watching the the tape from the last meeting um you have addressed a number of the issues. Certainly there was a tree on the north corner northeast corner which I think you put back in and I think Mr. lions wanted um more uh more hedge work or certainly some more
foliage in the front of the house, which you're proposing. Um the black olive trees is is the more difficult one. Now, the neighbors said they didn't object to you removing them, but um there was some comment about we weren't sure that what you were showing as a replacement were going to be dense enough or high enough,
right? You were both here. No, I wasn't, but I watched it. Okay. Um, so Trey, was it the height of the tree or the Incidentally, just so you know, I think the black olive trees are really unattractive. I've been there and looked at them. Um, nobody puts them in
anymore, as you well know, and they've been kind of hated and so I don't think it's the removal of those that's a bad thing. It's we're worried about the replacement and losing the the, you know, the old the canopy that right that they now prevent. So, um, well, the the
height that we're proposing is 14 feet. We can go a little bit taller. 14. It already covers a twostory house. Mhm. And also the spacing in between the trees is around 10 to 12 feet of center, which is very close. You know, um, those
the green bottomas, they fill in very quickly. Uh, they will get very dense. It's one of the trees that grow very quickly and without spacing it's it's healthy enough that there is space out and they can grow in their own way but also quickly to fill in and fill in the
gaps. So what's the annual growth rate of those trees? It's like two to three feet per year which is high for a lot of trees. A lot of trees are half a foot or one foot. So when I looked it up it showed one two feet per year. One to
two. Yeah. So that's I mean it's a significant difference right when you about how long it's going to take to get to maturity and and to replace you know back what we're talking about the height that's coming with the black olives. So can you get bigger ones and would that provide Absolutely. Yeah. Especially we
get them field grown um they think you tend to have a bigger spread compared to the ones that in a pot that they just like cut them really thin so they can stuck it in one corner. Yeah. So we can do that. They're obviously going to hang over
into the neighbor's yard. Um, what do you plan them about five feet from the property line? And um, does their neighbor have a chance to comment on that, Trey? I know that they have spoken with the neighbor and they they were fine with
removing the black olives. I imagine part of that is probably what happens to their driveway when the olives fall, right? Yeah. Um we just want to make sure that, you know, whether or not the two individuals own these houses now, if they don't own them in 5 years from now,
that it's an acceptable um replacement under the town code. U I I think that Mr. Meiselle last month mentioned that he may not even be able to get the 14 foot tall plants um in the conicle shape. So we're we're looking at sort of
smaller well-manicured kind of large shrubs replacing very very large mature trees. So, I think that, you know, when when Greg and town staff were looking at this, we're just looking at a replacement that's a little bit more significant rather than
just nice, well manicured, smaller uh trees, you know, and of course, you know, 14 feet may seem to screen a two-story house, but if a two-story house is 30 feet tall, you know, that's not really super.
So, obviously I'm not an arborist. Um, are there other options that would be more in line with replacing like for like as opposed to smaller? Right. Again, I I listened to it as well and I did hear him say that it was going to be, you know, 14 ft was the max size
that could be acquired. So, are there other trees that we could look at? There other nurseries that may have 18 foot trees or 16 foot trees? Well, same tree but larger. Looked at different nurseries for options. I I think that this tree is like a really
good option because it doesn't have intrusive roots. You don't want to get into this problem in the future. And um like I said, they're very fast growing. They um they are a native tree as well. So you you're not we're not putting back
another invasive specy into the house. We may be able to try to look for something taller. I think that would be the best option. I think that's the major concern is the height and the density overall, right? And that's what we just want to make
sure because especially if they're just going to be 14t. I mean, I don't think that that's showing a 14t tree right there, right? Right. That's like a 20 something tree. And it looks great. In 10 years, it's going to be incredible. But right
now, it it would be a problem for several years. I think I agree. Um it proposing the identical tree in the northeast corner over here. Correct. So they match both sides of the driveway together and they would be
aligned north and south. Yeah. So um I think our main issue is is is the height of height and density of the tree. Do you want to let us know if they're actually available? He he may not be, but I don't know if they've
checked every nursery. I I think you're going to find we're not liking a 14t high tree. Okay. What is a comfortable height for your We want to go to something in the 18 18 ft maybe. It's going to continue to grow. Okay. Right. Because what what's the current height
of those black olives right now? They're 25 or 30 feet. They're very tall. Yeah. I think they I would I would guess they're 25 feet tall. Uh I believe the eve height here is probably 10 or 12. So that's if that
will help y'all look at those trees right now. They're nowhere. If the eve height right there on the garage is 10 or 12 feet, right? So I mean I don't I know you'd like to get them in the ground. Um and and is
that something we could um rely on the town to if they came back to you with they were able to obtain 18 foot high trees. Yeah. Wouldn't we want to stall you any longer at all possible? Right. So
I was going to suggest to Renee and and Mr. Zoro that we consult a little with someone on our staff uh Anthony who is uh you know owns his own landscaping business uh for 20 years. So he might be
able to identify a different kind of a tree as you were suggesting. So I I don't know if we want to I mean I I think the green buttonwood is is a beautiful tree and it seems to be appropriate based on the the specifications. I mean, they are right on the property line. On the other side,
there's not a lot of ground for the for the root system to grow. So, it seems that it meets this uh all the criteria. It's just that we're looking for something that's a little bit more significant. So, if we want to approve this condition on staff, um approving an acceptable height based on what is
permitted and if if we have any questions, we can always bring it back. Um, but I think we're targeting like 18 to 20 feet perhaps at time of planting is that I think that would be very I would be that'd be great.
You agree guys? Yeah, I think that's the only thing that I I and I and we so that maybe you can resolve that in the next week or so with the town by checking with some nurseries or Anthony and see what he says, right? We certainly like the idea of six of them instead of four or five and we like the matching one on
the north corner like the hedges. So, I think we're we're really close except for the height of the trees. So, could we um approve approve the landscape plan subject to um them resolving the height of the trees on the south border with
staff? Yeah, I I think we have their direction, your direction. And if we can't get to that, I guess we'd be Well, we would we would want in July. Yeah. Right. But we would want a motion at this point pro approving the application subject to staff. That's right. right
review. Okay. So, I'm gonna attempt that. You guys can correct me if I get it wrong, but we're going to There's two motions that need to be made. So, I'm going to do the complicated one first. So, we're going to make a motion to approve the removal of the four shady lady black olive trees on the south side
of the property subject to town approval and height minimum of 18 to 20 feet of the replacement trees. How's that? Yeah, sounds good to me. Second that.
Mrs. Power, yes. Mrs. Orwin, Vice Chairman Smith, yes. Okay. And then the second one is a motion to approve minor modifications to the driveway layout, front entry step layout, pool deck layout, and expanded lawns and front and backyards. I second. Mrs. Power, yes. Mrs. Orwin, yes. Vice Chairman Smith,
yes. Thank Thank you very much. Thank you so much. You know where we are now. Okay. and um I'll reach out to you guys. Yes, absolutely. Thank you. Thank you so much. Next up, Bluewater Cove. Good morning. My name is Luis Rivera
with Affinity Architects and we're presenting uh lot 10 bluewater Cove. This is a West Indies uh style home on our um uh this is a front elevation of it uh
rendered. Um the next slide shows the uh lot location in comparison with the rest of the lots. Um our next slide um shows the comparison of all the houses that are have been approved or are uh
uh in construction and uh comparing the elevations uh to our new home. Our next uh slide is the site plan. I don't know if I had that. Yeah, we didn't have that one. We don't have that compar
to it for a minute, please. Sure. We have lots of sides of the of the exist of the lot 10 home, but not that comparison. Our lot is this one down here. Um right now we have uh three other two stories. Um if you could zoom
out a little bit. Uh the second twotory is lot two. Um the next one is lot six and lot seven. Um, you know, that's our, you know, the ones that we comparable to this one. Six, seven, and 10 proposed.
Anything else on the south side? It's twotory. Um, no, not not yet. And um the next slide, if you're u if you're okay with the moving on, uh is the side plan and that has the
calculations, all the you know required calculations. Uh next slide. uh is uh first floor. Um uh second one uh our next one is the
second floor. Um next slide is uh the material uh selections for this home and the color selections. Um next slide. Uh rear elevation with some of the
landscape. Um next one uh is the 2D elevations and height um uh limitations or whatever. Um next one would be the side elevations,
garage side and uh master side and next would be the landscape which uh my friend Louis Blah would be um telling us about. Good morning. For the record, my name is
Louise Lahos, Majestic Views Landscape Architects. Um, basically just in general, uh, this is, uh, lot is on the south side. There's a existing fishtail hedge which has some
holes in it which we will be adding to it, you know, so there there's no uh, views to the adjacent uh, property. Um we have the six um green buttonwood uh buffer trees um which are indicated
there uh in in the rear. In addition to that we have uh uh four matching Foxtail palms at uh 18 foot overall uh where the pool area is. Um underneath it a
combination of additional screening with portoarpus hedge some textural stuff with uh alocacia uh um agabis uh ground covers of ficus green
island and jasmine minima u basically to just complete that whole area there. Um in in the front uh we have the um three uh existing streetscape oaks. Uh they're all growing and looking very nicely
lately. We have again kind of repeating the three large 18t overall uh foxtail palms in the front. Uh basically working with a second story um architecture. Uh we also have a
macarthur egg palm out this little niche here. Again, working with the second story um on either side of the garage, Japanese blueberries and uh 16 to 18 ft Alexander palms that are going to be extending above. And uh he the client
liked the idea of being being able to view the palms from the rear etc. So we went with uh with a height of 18 ft. um underneath uh again um kind of there's
some textural value to it, you know, with the u um iris and u also uh uh shillings which a native ficus green island and um photocarpus pringles dwarf
you know that would give us that formal uh layered effect that that the client requested and uh he likes. Um other than that on the sides east and west we're using uh in this uh lot um the pigeon
plum uh to kind of work with the scales and the elevations uh the side elevations of the residents. Uh in addition, we're adding um five fishtail palms on the garage side to basically
screen the garage doors and also work with the second story uh scale of the house. Um other than that, any questions? And basically these are elevations. This is a uh an an existing um kind of
showing the fish tail palms, the large uh boxtails. Uh these are the Alexanders that are up against the house and kind of a similar situation in the front. The Alexanders, the macarthurai, large foxtails, Japanese blueberries kind of
on either side um there. And then the large oak trees at the ends, which is streetscape. There's also another streetscape oak that we didn't incorporate cuz it would have just blocked the whole front elevation of the house, but it's there already. Pardon
me. If that tree is there already, though. Yes. Yes. Yes. On the west elevation, do you feel that landscaping is adequate to sort of shield the Is that the primary bathroom? That window there?
Which one? The west. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Well, it's a beautiful home. And if if this landscaping is anything like the ones that you've already finished earlier, it it's beautiful and dense. The first home built, it looks like it's been there five or 10 years already. Yeah, it actually looks really nice. And
so does 14, the one across the street, too. It looks Do you have any questions or comments? Not really. I just I was interested in going back to the sort of the overlay of the entire neighborhood. if you don't mind just for a second just because I'm noticing and you know this goes back a couple of years when we had
to change the walkways um because it felt very much like a development. Um and I just sort of see like if you look, you know, the way the pools are done and everything, it's all it's a little on the cookie cutter side with the backyards. I they're beautiful and again
the landscaping is spectacular. Um, and I just don't know that there's anything that that creates kind of, you know, more of a a development type of a feel rather than a Gulf. I would like to recommend. Have you looked at the backyards? I've never been over and looked. No. Well, I would recommend
going there. They're they're definitely definitely not cookie cutter by any means. There is some limitations because the homes are well, number one, we got the 10-ft setback for the pool, right? And then the homes are basically to the 20 foot setback. So we're kind of
limited in space as far as the pool design and and we we try to alternate as much as possible whether the location of the spa, you know, the steps, uh how it protrudes into your covered loia, you know, and so forth. And at the same
token, um, when we're looking at these, we're also looking at at the residences on either side, whether being developed in the future or simultaneously. So, we don't have trees in the same line, but maybe juxtapose. So, in between the
homes, there is that screening. And then in the rear, we we kind of alternate. Yeah. You know, there might be some palms and and stuff that we kind of use, but the design is is really really different. I I would recommend all the pools are they're shaped differently.
Yeah. Yeah. It's by no means cookie cut. Each each unit has a the pool is designed to we do two concepts. They're presented to the owner. The owner selects one concept in combination of the other one, you know, before we finalize it. So, um, you know, the only
similarities I would have to say would be about the size and the size is about 16 by 36 on average on on the pools. Yeah, I was going to um fuss a little bit about the similarity of design on the whole street, but I went over but I
went over and looked and you guys have done a really good job with with colors. Yeah. Uh, shutters, roof colors, landscaping. Um, but it really it doesn't look in other words, we don't want 14 houses that are mere images of one another. You've read the read in the code. I
think you've done a really good job of not having that happen so far, but you know, as we get your How many are you into it? Uh, we've got three more. Yeah, we're designing nine and 11 and we're finalizing those right now. Be conscious of that for us. I mean, we're really
concerned about, you know, it not looking like 14 identical homes. We are. We try. Okay. And and you've done a good job. Really, when I draw it down there and you look at it in in in actual colors in the daylight, it's it's it doesn't look it looks great is what I say. Anything
else? No. Can we have Mr. Chairman? Y uh I I would offer to any one of you guys a tour by staff if if you ever would like to go with consent of the property owner, obviously. Yes. Is this is this
because this isn't owned yet? This is You don't have a You're not building this for an owner. No, this is this has an owner. Correct. Oh, okay. Lot six has an owner. Uh lot eight. Uh lot seven, of course, two down on the end. Lot three
and nine that are coming. Lot one also has an owner, right? Yeah, that's so the first lot here is a models. If you guys want to go see, you can see this one and this one. And we are getting CO, I think, on this one. and we're wrapping this one up and this one should be done
next month. So, feel free to go look at any of those. We're going to be closing in August on some of those new completions, so you have a little time to check it all out. Thank you. Thank you. Um, we have a motion. Hold on.
See here. Uh, [Applause] okay. Uh, I'll make a motion to recommend approval of a level three architectural site plan based on finding that the construction of a 5,165 square foot west single family dwelling with a two and a half car garage and
swimming pool new landscape and hard to make the minimum content for the design manual and full review standard with the following condition. Any minor modifications to the approved landscaping 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. I second. Mrs. Power, yes. Mrs. Orwin, yes. Vice Chairman Smith, yes. Thank you very much. Thank you. So, we're going to see you soon. I mean, back in next month. Next month. Next month. You won't see us
in August or They're here every month. So, okay, Mr. Marsh, hold on. Let us get stuff open here. Mark, pardon. Give us a sec.
Sure. I c did I curs it? Nope. Now you can. Sorry. This is very difficult to uh Good morning. Mark Marsh, architect, Bridges Marsh Architects. Um I'm here
representing Amos and Barbara Hasteter. Along with me is Gasu Ashville who is a landscape architect representing uh Fernando Wong outdoor design living. Um,
I think everybody is should be familiar with the property. Um, it's one of the I think the most gorgeous properties I think we have left in town. I mean, it really is spectacular. The survey here on the top left uh shows
the existing house. Um, it obviously we're going to demolish it. We were here in I think March requesting an early demolition and the commission um rightly I think at the time suggested that we wait till the May 1st uh
deadline without having to do a special exception. So the owners have consented and we are now in the full process. So we've kind of caught up back with ourselves. Um the the interesting things to note are the two entryways and yeah
the aerial actually shows it better that the driveway on the uh east side which comes off North Ocean Boulevard is the main drive to the residence and then there is a service drive off Gulfream Road on the west side. Um interesting
enough we what we're going to show you today is we're going to maintain that vehicle pattern. it seems to work and it it really does not disturb the beauty of the especially the west or the east and the south side of the the property. Um
so let's go on if we can next. Um so here's a a footprint of the proposed uh new residence. Um again just to talk about some of the technical aspects the property is obviously it's
about a little over an acre acre and a third. Um we are planning to do a house this house is slightly over 9,000 square feet. Um by far somebody could build 13,000 square feet on the property. So
you can see the respect for the property is indicated here. Um, as I said, the driveway of the main accesses to the property will be maintained in a very similar location, especially the one on the east coming off North Ocean
Boulevard. However, the one on the west, we plan to move a little further north um just to align better and um will kind of go over this a little more detail. Um, so you come in to a motorc
court area and then the house is laid out basically it's singlestory so it's going to have more of a horizontal development layout and I I think you'll see the house is sim very similar
location to the original. So it's not we're trying not to infringe on that east loan. Um, the other thing that the property has, it it has a sense of elevation, which is again unusual for Gulf Stream unless you're on the the
ocean side. Um, and we the house is going to be the current house is at plus eight. We're proposing plus 10 as a finished floor elevation and it it will give even more appearance of being on an elevated plateau. I use
the word loosely raised area let me say which again is a much more gracious approach to the house. Um I think that covers the uh let's go to the floor plan please next.
Uh so if you could scroll down a little bit please. No sorry up. Thank you. The main entry, and I may have to point here, the main entry
is obviously off the motor arrival area centered into you come into a covered stoop. Um, and the main front door is recessed. You come into a foyer and the
onus program was really very um defined. And what we're reflecting here today, it's it's going to be difficult for you to see is they um they everything they wanted to do was about their lifestyle
primarily. Um they're an older couple. They have a family, but they wanted to have and maintain. If you could zoom out a little bit, please little more. Thank you.
um and they wanted to create a symmetry or a sense of symmetry and balance in the house especially on the ri arrival area. So what we've created is you come in front door to the foyer and look up and the other criteria is to be able to
see as much of the outside from the inside. So there's an inside outside direct connection. So we what we've developed is you come into the foyer, you go through the great room. What you'll notice the house do not have a dining room which is kind of unusual but
it's it's part of their lifestyle. So what we have is a great room which will combine family room and entertainment room to the east a library and office area which again is very important to their lifestyle and their pleasure and
that so once you're in here you'll be looking not only south through Aloia to what will show you shortly the pool area and the garden to the south but it has a direct visual contact to that front bone
area on the east side. The this area is basically for their private life. The master or primary suite is located here in the south uh east corner library and
then this the great room opening onto a loia. Then without the dining room, the only thing they really wanted to achieve was a breakfast area that could be an everyday, but if time was that they were entertaining, it's large enough that
they could accommodate a more of a sit-down semiformal uh eating area. The kitchen is central. Um, and then the other criteria that was we were challenged with is they have
family, grandchildren, you know, like most of us have, they wanted to have them close enough, but did not want them to be part or feel like they're invading or being part of the main house. So what
we did was create a link through a cupboard via um to the primary um guest suites which are a larger suite here and then more of a casual one for a more flexible space for
pull out beds, bunk beds, you know, children but somehow separated but yet still connected remain housed. Um the other interesting thing is that the you do have an access from the north side
apart from the u the stoop the main entry stoop where you come into a mud room and then you enter into a back hole but again which again is a very traditional older area where it's kind of nowadays I've heard it called drop zone where you
come in and you have luggage whatever it's kind of a staging area. It works well for staff if you have a staff in to cook or you're setting up for a cocktail party or something. Then on the extreme north side of that is the laundry
service area. Obviously from the mudroom you can go into the garage or into that alcohol. So the whole house has morphed into and you know presented to them they were very thrilled because we have actually achieved the lifestyle that
they're they're seeking. So through this new house um next one you will notice there are some porches or the roof plan. Um in terms of materials which is again a very
important element right now the main house or majority of the roofs are going to be simple hip roofs. Um and there will be some areas that we will have standing seam uh copper uh roofs. Again,
this will blend in with the ceda shake or shingle, sorry, which is as you're maybe aware of. And if you've ever been to anybody been to Bahamas or especially lifewood key, you'll see the types of very tight um again very much in a
traditional Bermuda uh vernacular. And I think that's what we're trying to the whole house has got a sense of a Bermuda vernacular which is eclectic to some point but it it still meshes together. The roof the simplicity of the roof will
marry all these elements I think. There are a couple of flat areas um over the loia and the breezeway to the the guest wing which are intended for future possible future solar panel locations
which will be again out of view from any you know permanent visibility. Um, and the roofs are 9 and 12, which again is a very traditional steeper slope for this vernacular that we're
trying to achieve. Next, please. This is a front which is actually the north elevation of the residence. And again what you'll start seeing here again to the nodding to the Bermuda uh vernacular is the gable end which again
is a very identifiable element on any Bermuda colonial architecture. And what we've tried to do here and I just explain this quickly. The the idea is that one may look at this because you'll see this face of the house as
your primary arrival experience. And what one would think is that this was an older house and after time because of um program criteria expansions things were added and that's what makes charm in
these older you know trying to get those old more historical uh references. So you can see that that that portion could be the the original main house or could have been. In terms of materials, um the shingle roof, the
white, the colors will be distant gray, which is actually a white and a very kind of not a brilliant white. It's kind of a dull muted white. Um the shingles obviously will fade out and silver over
time. The windows and fenistration that you can see are all colonial sizes. The window panes are smaller and the windows will be uh treated the window openings would be two types of shutters. Either a
a shutter that's a panel shutter on the sides or projected top projected uh louvered shutter. the entry. Um, again, one of the and it's it's so wonderful to work with people like this that they want a simple
entry. Um, the simplicity here is made possible by the Bermuda Gable, which again is a scale down to reflect the entry. I'll show you the other gables that we have which are a little grander but a very simple um gable that that uh
entry is set back about 9 10 ft. So it's a very covered area. Um and you can see that this is a standing seam roof which again is that that's a little
entry uh stoop for the service area. Uh these are and I'll show you shortly. These are what I call bonnets. They're projected. Again, Cyprus little window shading treatments. Again, very typical.
Uh and the other thing to note is Hey Mark, could you stop there? I don't know what those really are. That that's I was going to ask you the cypress shutter awning. You called it a Yes. Yeah. They the other ones the other ones are regular conventional shutters. And are
they going to be cypress color? Are they going to be natural? No, they're going to be a light very pale green. Green. Okay. All right. Very very similar. But but the feature over the window. I'll show you that. Hold that thought that question. I'll show you. U. The other
thing to note is we are sitting on a water table, a Carlstone water table. So the house is actually going to be grounded. The walls will sit on a slightly projected outboard um coral again just to give it a little sense of
weight and um and really you know securing it to the the ground. Um next one please up I think up. Sorry go back sir. Sorry, you passed me.
Go down there. Um, this the next one. No, one one down. Sorry. It's gonna go right back to where you were. Okay. Got that. And then we got that.
Go. It's It's There you go. Okay. It's weird. It's just slow. Oh, okay. Let me This is a south elevation. Um looking to the area that uh Gos will show you which
is a garden pool area. The Loia we do have a couple of um porches which will be black aluminum again one from the primary bedroom and one from the primary guest room. And what we're trying to do
is again with all this to get a sense of balance. You don't have to be identical, but you just want to have a sense of bal of balance. You'll see the um the loia here. Very simple. This is a breakfast room. Again, another gavelin
uh wall element classic wave. Simple punched openings. And this is a breezeway connection to the guest wing. Um next, please. So, this is as you arrive from the the
uh North Ocean Boulevard drive coming up the slight incline. This is what you'll see in the house. Um this is the east elevation. Um you start to see some of the coloration here. As I said, the
shingles will um fade out to more of a silver. This is the library. And there's a balance here of the two the bedroom and the master bath. Again, a little projected semic-ircular balcony
with simple aisle picket rails. Um the front entry oops sorry entry. This motor court is here in the garage. This will be separated as said with some landscaping but you can then get a mass and then there is another um Bermuda
gable which is actually in between the living room and the library which again is a main feature. Um again very classic um profiles. Uh next please.
And then this is from the southwest. Looking back at the house, you start to see the porches on either side, the um the loia, the breezeway, breakfast area, and you can see the proportion to wall
to roof is very respectful of the style. Um and you know, the fenestration. Uh we are we're going to have these little outriggers from the the rafters again just to give a hint of detail
across that supporting beam. Um the fireplace is very typical of the Bermuda style. So um that's really where we stand and I'll answer any architectural questions. Oh sorry go to the last
photograph. Um to your question. Yeah. This is what I call a body. Oh. Now I come from the West Indies. So these in the older houses, these were actually lubed on the sides because you had no air condition and they were kind of window coolers.
But the bonnet is a very refined little delicate element which creates a lot of charm. And you can see the color of the rafters. We'll have exposed rafters. These are some images that we used to uh really show the clients where our points
of reference were. So with that, I'll ask answer any questions on the architectural before I turn it over to the landscaping. Katie, it's very charming. Um just one question for the east elevation. What is
the percentage window opening? Uh it's about 25%. Okay. Yeah. I mean, the library is contained and again it's it's all uh glass here, but there's a there's a bigger wall here, so it's it's
very And remember, you're seeing shutters as well, so it kind of throws your eye. So, it's it's the intention is to really create a a throwback. Yeah, I love that. I'm so happy that they decided to do
that and not build a two-story home. I mean, that is really spectacular for the town. That's a big win. So, well done. Thank you. It's really nice. All right, I'll let go come and give you a brief. Hi, I'm Jason Nunes um with Fernando
Wong alter design um here with Go as well has also worked. Yeah, I'm Jason. Um so the slide that we see now that's the trees position. So everything that's circled with uh a blue circle is meant to be relocated. Everything with a green
is meant to remain in its current location. And what has um a red circle um red circle with an X is meant to be removed. Um a few items like the coconut on the south sides to be removed. Um it's not going to relocate well. So um
it kind of becomes a hazard. Next, please. Um, this is the the legend of Oh, can we go back one more, please? So, this is the full list of of all the existing plant material on the property.
Uh, it's labeled whether it's to uh remain, remove, relocate. Um, all of the trees have been surveyed. Um there's a full arburous report on all of the existing trees and palms. Um which was also useful for us to incorporate them
into the design. Um most if not most of the plant material that's on the property will remain um on the property will just be um relocated to fit within Fernando's design. Next, please. So this shows the rendered site plan.
Um, can we zoom out a little bit? Oh, so um, it shows the entrance along the east side. Um, the curb cut is going to remain the same on the east. And then as you start to pull into the drive, um, most of the paving will be done out of
coral stone. It's going to be used in probably eight different sizing and and applications. Um, the driveway will be framed with coral stone and then the main fill will be a tabby with the crush shell. As you pull into the into the
main entrance, what's going to balance and hold the symmetry of the property are and the larger specimen trees. There's going to be four new banyions to tie into the existing banyan that's on the bottom left of the property. Um the
north and south will be planted with calip at 24 ft overall planted height and then the east and west side will be done out of sea grapes. Um the green symbols are the coconut palms.
There's the existing ones are anywhere between 30 to 45 foot of CT. they're all meant to remain. And then we will also be bringing in some additional palms to balance out that um the scale.
Um as as Mark was saying, it's all about symmetry and what ties the property together. So these two trees will align everything. It'll be all seen throughout. And this is the master bedroom. So this tree will here will is
my focal point. Um We're proposing these larger lawns um areas. It'll all be done with seashore pascalum which would be in these areas and then on the large um saw area along the east side. This shows all of the the portalome paths. Um some of
it's going to be all um grouted and um and filled. Some of them are the regular flagstones with the grass joints. But everything is meant to be nice and simple in terms of plant material and whatever is adjacent um close to the house will be all low plant material.
Next, these are just some of the elevations. The one on the top it's um if you're standing north looking kind of south um screening is very important to us. So this shows that the north side will be
screened and also on the south and the west. Um the west side rendering that's off of the Gulf Stream. So it shows it shows the new um entrance shifted slightly north and then it also has a
pedestrian door. Um next please. Can you just scroll up a little bit Rene just so we can see that? I don't think we have this view. So those show the califilms on the um along the north um facade. It also shows
the specimen tree in the center um and the mortar court will be framed with majles. We also have royal palms um along the northeast elevation as well as well on the south elevation. And all of the plant material on the
ride ofway is meant to remain. We will be adding some more coconut palms um just slightly north of the of the entrance. Yeah. And this here shows the north entrance. So there's an existing cape hedge
along the east um east property line that will remain. Uh it shows an um an Australian pines to remain and everything along the south side will be full and lush. Next please.
So this is our heartscape drawing. Um the pool was situated in in center of this east um in center of this structure here. It's also in center with um with this stairs here. We're very symmetrical
and we like everything to align. So there's there's pathways leading to landings. There's going to be a dining table here um on top of coral stone with grass joints beneath the canopy of the larger specimen tree here. And then these are just the meandering paths with
all the west elevation west side. Next please. These are photos of the materials. Um on the left, that's the regular coral stone. Here it's shown with gravel, but it'll be done with grass joints. Kind of seen up here. This is a photo of the
coral stone and then the tabby creek, which would be the main fill for the driveways. Next, please. This is the full landscape drawing um where everything's quantified and
labeled. Next, please. And this is the plant list. Um, showing all the proposed plant material. Do we have any questions? Could you just clarify on the motor court and the where the garage is? What is that material
that you're proposing? So, in the circle and then right, can we go back? Go back one more and we zoom into this. Yeah, it's just Yeah. What is that? looks different because it's different than the drive material. Yeah. So, the border will be
done out of coral stone. It's a 12 x 24 and then it'll have an inner border of an 8x4 inch brick size. Um it all has um we have a border inner border and this will be done out of a regular coral
stone. Um it'll be grouted and built. We go back to the three borders, the specimen in the center. So what ties them all together is and the coral stones will have 4in joints of saw to separate but the larger area in front of
the garage will be all coral. And where's the tabby concrete being used again? PT5s. Okay. So that's the drive itself. Yeah. And all the PT5s will be done out of the tabby tabby held in with coral stone. and everything along the east side. Um,
we wanted to to keep and preserve the open lawn space and the view. Um, which is why Fernando decided to place the coconuts in that pattern. Any questions? You said you can use pass grass. All all
the grass will be pass. Correct. What's it now? St. Augustine. Uh, yes. St. Augustine. Um, you you uh were talking about the feature tree in the motor court and at the end of, you know, the cemetery north and south. What was that tree again
going to be? It would be abandoned. A big feature kind of abandoned. Yeah. They'd be coming in at um 45 ft overall. Yeah. Okay. All of them sort of the same size. Yes. What is there one in the northeast corner now? You've got one in the sketch here. Um on the northeast is
going to be put in also that. So, and this one's new. Okay. New new and new. And there's an existing one down here which is meant to remain. These symbols all in the light gray. These are all of the existing plant material that's meant to be relocated. The property currently
has two sea grapes kind of in this spot and they're going to be um planted here. And then we're bringing in four more um to match the same specs, which is 25 ft overall, 6 to 8 inch DVH um character
trunks. I'm sorry, I didn't catch the size of the tree on the west of the existing one. Yeah. On the uh um it's called Gulf Stream Road. Uh, it's probably maybe 45, maybe
even 50 ft overall height. Okay. It's down here. Sorry. Can I just I forgot if I can use your drawing here. Sorry. Sure. Uh we do have a a cabana building
here which is very simple. I don't know that slide seem to or that exhibit seem to fall out and it's just basically an open uh canopy with two a bathroom and one on south side and a little storage
and kind of mini bar on the north side. But again very simple and that will be in the standing seam copper as well as a garden type structure. Oh, so the the cabana is going to be open breezeway sort of in the middle.
Yes, it's it's for shading really sitting in the shade. I don't have any questions other than why wasn't there a a dining room, but you already answered that. So, we have it outside. We have indoor outdoor. They actually they plan to eat a lot in
the room as well, which is kind of again very nice because the dining room is a dying element as we all know. Right. Should we make a motion? It's really nice. is really nice. All right. I'd like to make a motion to recommend
approval of a level three architectural site plan based on a finding that the construction of an 8,587,000 square foot Bermuda style one-story single family dwelling with a two and a half car garage, swimming pool, 430 ft pool cabana, new landscape and
heartscape meets the minimum intent of the design manual and applicable review standards with the following condition. Any minor modifications to the approved landscaping shall be submitted to the town manager for review and approval and any major modification shall be brought back to the ARPD for review and approval prior to commencement of landscape. A
second. Mrs. Power. Yes. Mrs. Orwine. Yes. Vice Chairman Smith. Yes. Thank you very much. Beautiful. When when are you going to start the uh demolition? Uh don't ask a please. Um no. We we hope to be breaking ground
sometime in October and November. Oh, really? So, you're going to wait and demolish be just right. Right before you We might do it earlier just to again get the feel of it properly better. That's that was the intention originally before we started. Do it before October if we could before
the screen. Appreciate it. Thank you. Okay. Are there any items by staff? No sir. No sir. Um items by board members? No. No public.
Um just before we adjourn um again in watching last month's meeting, Paul had some concern about um repetitive for instance the Elcorte of having to come four times. Did we resolve some way to avoid that? There isn't any real way to avoid it, is
it? Did they just I mean, you know, sure, not be too blunt, but they didn't pick up soon enough from us, I think, after the first meeting. Do you need us for a second, Mark? Oh, uh, I was just Oh, okay. I'll talk to you, man. Okay. Sorry. Thanks.
At this point, we're trying to resolve more potential issues that would come before the boards at the staff level, uh, which includes having more than one pre-application meeting if needed. Uh, so I I think that with the trash enclosure,
that was something they were I don't want to say hellbent on, but that that is what they wanted and we tried to talk them out of it. Said we were going to recommend uh denial, but that's something that, you know, if we maybe met with a it's harder being a multif family, it's not just one person you're dealing with. It's a property manager.
They've got direction from a board. Uh, so it's it's a little bit more complicated to say, "No, let's let's pause. let's if you have a problem, let's deal with it. Let's talk to our waist hauler. So the uh you know they had already had all these meetings and provided direction and then all of a sudden we're meeting with a landscape
architect with direction from the property manager. So that's a little bit different. But when we're dealing with, you know, an individual owner and an applicant, we're trying to, you know, get get ahead of that a little bit. Obviously, we had the the issue on County Road with the the tree removal.
You know, that, you know, that's a little bit more difficult to deal with because you've got very large trees going to smaller trees. What tree is the right size, you know, things like that. Uh I think that, you know, certainly staff could have maybe encouraged when
looking at the plans uh something a little bit higher, but I don't remember in a pre-application meeting them saying, "Oh, they're going to be 14t." Um, and frankly, I think that they underestimated the height of the existing trees, which it doesn't get your guard up when they tell you they're
going to be 14 feet replacing 20, but really it's 35 and the ones that they're planting are going to be 12, right? So, you know, it's it's hard to manage that, but I think that Renee and I have resolved to be a little bit more um I don't know, we're pretty mean at
meetings, but we're we're going to try to be meaner with Yeah. Direct. Sure. uh more direct with uh the the chances of approval given uh you know the board and the commission looks to staff to sort of get ahead of some of these issues. Case
in point, we have a you know an older home in the core uh dry lot. It is at 9 ft finished floor elevation. They are now required to be uh so it's at 4t finished floor elevation. They're now going to 9 ft. So we are looking at a
house that's at 4T if you're standing on the road. you know, little, you know, gradual sort of incline. And now we're looking at nine feet where it's going to be, you know, the the finished floor elevation is going to be eye level or or above that, you know. So, that's that's
going to be difficult knowing that we have massing concerns and we need to get ahead of that with multiple pre-application meetings if needed um to address concerns that the board uh may have. So, that will be something that's coming up before you all, you know, in
the coming months. And then, of course, as we get more uh more turnover from older houses with people buying them for, you know, millions of dollars wanting a tear down in a new structure, that that's really what we're going to see. Um, so I mean I have to say this
hosted home is really lovely and I don't know if we can have people go back and watch the videos right about so they can understand where our perspective is and why we're protected right of of the town code and making these decisions that you
know I think it's it's important to keep I try to remind all these people who show up into this wonderful town that there's a reason that they were attracted to it in the first place and we It's our job to preserve that. Um, and it's important. So, and we and we're
we're backing you guys. So, be direct and we'll we'll we'll back you. Um, okay. Uh, I guess Oh, who you're just so Rene know? I think I'm here. Okay. Terry's here. I'm I will be here. Katie, no. But, but um, is there anything important coming up? I mean, another new
home or anything in July? I believe there is another new home. I I believe Blue Water Cove is coming back at least. Yeah. All right. Yeah, that's a good example, right, where we I remember being in the meetings when they first came in and we had to talk about the colors and the different roof colors and and they understood and it sounds like
we haven't had to have those conversations again. It was just that one meeting and Right. they adapted and I believe this big home may be coming before you too, but we're having a second preapp with them. Okay. Well, thank you. Then we're journ. All right.
Thank you. Thank you everybody. See you guys. Katie, thank you again. Thank y'all. You allowed me to have a coral. So many tricky. Yeah. Well, it's going to be it's not going to get any better. You know, it's
particularly tough on a 100 foot lot, you know. Your house is up. Our house. I'm sorry. At least I know it's the runoff. Yeah, I'm sorry.
