It's now Mrs. Power here, Mr. uh Mr. Glennon here, vice chairman Smith here, chairman Lions here. Also present and participating today is town manager Dunham, assistant
town attorney Nazaro, and myself. Any comments on the 26? I've got one question on page three, pardon me, right in the middle of the page, we're talking about the removal of
the four shady lady black olive trees and replaced with green buttonwood trees. We should say how many I mean did we insist on five or six? So um they actually have modified their plan and staff have approved it. That
was going to be part of my updated meeting. Okay. I I have one I made I made my own found my own typo. Uh it should say Thursday June 26 at the top of the minutes instead of May. So I'll change it. Okay.
With with with that modification I move we approve the minutes as presented. Mrs. Power. Yes. Mr. Glennon. Yes. Vice Chairman Smith. Yes. Chairman Lions. Yes.
Okay. Um, no meeting in August. Um, I'll see whoever on September 25th. Um, any expparte communication? No. Renee, if you could administer the outs for those who are going to speak today.
Let's stand and raise your right hand. You swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth. So help you, God. If I don't know who you are, please make sure I get your name. Okay, I think we're going to start with the first application. Yes.
Oh, no. Yes, sir. I'm just representing uh Christina and Ali. My name is Rich Burmer. Um we're here basically to request um approval for some minor changes that we did on a project that
was already approved that is under construction. Um if you want I can walk you through the few changes that we did on the uh mostly heartscape and landscape of the I mean heartscape of the building.
Um Go ahead, Richard. They have it in front of them. Oh, okay. Well, starting on sheet on the side sheet, we can see that we have adjusted a little bit the driveway. You would you reference the sheet number, please? Yes. SP1, I'm sorry.
And I would like to start pointing out the first the side revisions that we have done. So the first revision is on the front driveway the circular driveway we uh extended and made the um adjacent
driveways against the house. Instead of being circular we made it square to allow for additional parking. This is mostly because this property is right at the entrance of Lo. So in case of the gathering at the house, there's not going to be any street parking. So we wanted to increase a little bit the the
amount of parking inside the property. Um going around we to the east side, we adjusted the small wing wall that we have. We pushed it towards the front so we can hide one of those uh you know
delivery boxes um that uh you know so they can put the packages so the packages don't sit on the on the street basically facing the street on the front door. Uh continuing on the east side, uh the area between the side wall and the
back of the house, we have changed that to originally gravel, but based on uh what Tre told us, you know, gravel and the code says gravel doesn't count 100% as a purpose area. So, we're going to use mulch mostly because our neighbor
has big, very dense landscaping, so there's not much natural light. So grass is going to be really hard to grow there. So we're going to use that mulch in that area to maintain something a little bit more pristine and not so muddy or um you know in better shape
continuing towards the north around the pool. We also would like to have a perimeter of artificial turf and we submitted the spec sheets for the artificial turf. It's an organic you know material peruse even though we don't count that's a purpose area but
it's a purpose material water goes through um and we counted for all the square footage and everything and we are still within the 40% required um green area required by the city. If we continue going on on the north
side and coming on the west, the other um sidewall that we have on the west side towards the front of the house, that was also pushed a little bit forward just to gain a little bit more private area. There's only about 2 ft that has been pushed forward. And the last change on the side on that side
will be the existing plush that goes around the corner on Avenue. We just cutting those back to have a better view of the house and also when you're driving out, you know, you have also a better view who's coming in and when you're coming out of the driveway, etc.
We're just cutting that back. The main one on the straight line on the west side is staying there exactly the way it is with the trees and everything. It's just the last portion after the curb. Um, those are basically the site plan changes. In addition to that, on the
east garage, the twocar garage, we have changed that from being a double car garage door to a single car garage door. And this is mostly just for better access and in and out of the house. And the west single car garage, we changed
it from an 8ft garage door to a 9 ft garage door. Exact same idea to have a better access into the garage. Uh, in addition to that, we changed a little bit the front door of the house. We're going to have a solid door as it was
originally, but we're going to have a transom, a glass transom above the the door. We submitted the pictures and we have actually the material of the door. Um, in case you want to have an act, the actual the the cover
of the door on that topic. Uh, you have the tile for the roof. There's two tiles here. This the one for I'm just curious to see how it goes against. Thank you. Um,
additionally to that, um, the two windows in the master uh, bathroom on the west side of the house, they're going to be large, uh, by 6 in. They're a little bit wider, so we can can get a little bit more natural light. Um, those
will be Those two windows right there in the back on the north side on the north on the west side. Okay. And the master bathroom right on the east side of the the same. Then on the back of the house, the main sliding glass door from the living area into the
um low ver um in width. Again, we maintain the same percentages. I mean, the allowable percentages of glass in the house. And you know, the style and the hasn't changed in the house. Just the width of the the sliding glass door in the back
had reduced by. So, you're going to reduce the glass. We reduce some of the glass, but we're still within the allowable, you know, glass amount. And additionally to that um one other change is basically defining the actual
color of the roof type and we brought a sample for the roof type. And I think that is basically the whole list of revisions that we want to give approve for this house. If you have any questions
any questions. Well, well, there are double uh Yeah, they're double pictures in the covered thing. You sense? Yes. Some with landscaping and some with more landscaping? Yeah. One It's because so you can see the house. Oh, okay. It's just for clarification cuz if we
put the trees there, then you're not going to see, you know, how the house looks. That's mostly the reason. But if you were driving by on the street, R2 would be just with the trees. Yes, definitely. Mhm. And you said on the curb which would really be near the
entrance to originally you're going to make it safer actually for those leaving or coming. You want to go back on on the picture? There's one from the side. This one the used to go all the way to here. So we're petting those back you
know. So you one on the curve you have a a better you know view of the side triangle. It's working. Actually, if we do the side triangle currently, it wouldn't clear the side triangle. Um, and you have a better view also of the house. And when you're exiting the house
as well, you know, you make it that right turn because you cannot make a left turn. You make that right turn, you have a clear view of who's coming in. Um, Trey, on on the original approval, was there that much artificial turf around the pool or is that an addition or expansion?
I don't believe there was any artificial turf on the original application. That's a big that's a big change. Yes, sir. But it's in compant with the amount of uh Yes, we had talked about that. What he mentioned to earlier was they were originally planning a stone chatty type
um stone on the west east side where um there's a lot of landscaping from the neighbor where grass will not grow. Um I indicated Mr. department that that is actually counted at 50% not zero for landscaped open space under our code and that's why he
mentioned that he changed that to mulch to mulch similar to landscaping bed. So that would then not that would then count toward landscape open space. So they were right on the edge of where they needed to be uh for the um for the
landscape open space with the addition of the artificial turf making that adjustment there and it would be visible from east, north, west side at all. Yeah, there is a very significant mature Kia hedge. So as long as that is
maintained, it will not be able to be seen from the road. Do I have a motion, please? I'll make a motion to approve a level two architectural site plan based on a finding that the conversion of 1,286
square ft of natural sod be converted to artificial turf and modifications to a previously approved application. It includes a new roof tile color, changes to the garage doors, a new front door, architectural modifications, and
alterations to heartscape and landscape plans meet the minimum intent of the design manual and applicable review standards. Second. Mrs. Powell, yes. Mr. Glennon, yes. Vice Chairman Smith, yes. Chairman Lions,
yes. Thank you. Thank you very much. The next application is the Ellis application 25. Thank you very much. I just wait bring up the slides. I'd like to run through the presentation slide by slide
if you don't mind. While we start for the record, I'm Peter Papadopoulos. With me is Peggy Smith. We're the architects. Also with me is Dustin Arch. We're here before you today to present the Ellis's new house at 3525
Polo Drive. Both Steve and Robin who are in the audience here today have waited patiently this past year while studying and designing their family home on the site and John. Sorry, I'm trying They do have it in front of them if you want to go ahead.
Okay, perfect. I'll run through the slides page by page and then um I can talk to those. So the aerial for those not fully acquainted with the site um it's located on the northeast corner at the intersection of Poland Drive and Banyan Road
is at the top. So the next slide please. Perfect. Um the following one is um you can see the neighborhood is a great mix of architectural styles with both new and older homes. The next one is um this is the existing property of the structure. Um as you know the structure
is planned for demolition. There's an existing perimeter hedge with a few trees and mostly side on the property and dusted with elaborate on the next one. Quickly, 3525 Polo Drive is a nonwaterfront corner lot in the Gulfream
Core District. It's a somewhat irregular shaped lot with a total total buildable area of 19,985 square ft. Next one, this is our site. The next one, this is just showing the existing survey
um with current grades and how the existing house um sits on the lot. The next one, this is a study showing um the neighbor setbacks from the streets and and how we relate to those. Next one.
This is a closer view of our property with the joining neighbors and the existing setbacks and the proposed setbacks. The next one, this is an aerial study looking east of our property in design. Um, studying the immediate context of our design with our
neighbors. Um, we'll elaborate on this a little bit later, but we wanted to show you how we carefully studied how this house would sit within the fabric of the neighborhood. Next, another sectional study of our design on the right with the newer home across
this directly across the street from us from Poland Drive and how we um compared to their existing heights. Next one. Cool. Which way to that west of you? Correct. So, the section is if you're looking north standing on Po Drive, the
house to the west of us is to the left and our house is to the right. The next slide, please. Back if you could go back to that. Sure. I think that's great depiction. Um
just as a note for everybody, the surrounding landscape, all that is going to be taken out. And Dustin will elaborate. We're going to keep it through construction, but yes, we're going to put it back and obviously sweeten up. Correct.
Perfect. I'm looking quickly at the colored site plan. My brief is to create a very wellsighted and simple home with strong actual connections within a well landscape envelope. The idea was an arrangement of space to create a predominantly one story for day onetory
house for daily living with the second story containing two guest seats. all orientated to take advantage of the southern exposure. The floor plan is centrally situated with an entry feature that directs casual entry procession. The main access centers on the arrival
stairs and terrace landscaping with an expected procession up to the front door showcasing the central mass that's flanked by balanced one-story gable wings. This type of single room arrangement invites uninterrupted outdoor views. It allows for deep natural light and it
reduces the assumed footprint of the home. One of the first decisions we made was how we wanted to limit the impact of the different grade heights on the design and to minimally impact the streetscape. We also wanted to minimize the slope of the driveway and achieve this by placing the garage and the entry
foyer lower than our finished drawer which allowed us to bear and mitigate the height differences. We gradually got up to the height of our finished floor that was required. We didn't just place the house and created a steep slope driveway. You'll see this more clearly in the elevations. The next slide,
please. Looking at the technical site plan, the proposed residence is a partial twotory Anglo Caribbean style home which fits comfortably on the corner lot and respects and relates to the surrounding homes that contribute to the community fabric. We've allocated most of the equipment on
the north side and and a little bit of equipment behind the cabana on the on the east. Next one. Looking at the two-dimensional line drawings, the simplicity of the design becomes clearer as does the proportion of the facads. We've intentionally designed the second story over the
northeast part of the plan so that it won't be visible from either Poland or Bandon roads and it's a really small footprint of second floor. Next slide. Moving around to the north and south elevations. Next one.
and the one story cabana. Pausing quickly on the um 3D modeling with landscaping, you'll see that the arrangement of a building formed with a central massing using rectangular configurations with cable steps both horizontally and vertically. This results in a simple roof geometry
consistent with the neighborhood character. Additionally, as I've mentioned, we've been extremely sensitive and diligent to account for the increased base flood elevation both as it relates to the new design and especially as it relates to the joining neighbors.
The next slide is without landscaping. Next slide. A view directly at the front door. Again, with landscaping, we've employed a very simple and slightly accented series of details. A wood shingle roof, a simple wood facure emphasized by 24 in
overhang and exposed great wood backed tails with a tongue and roof painted wood. Traditional exposed copper gutters with down spots will complete the ease. Next slide. Again without landscaping. Next one.
Moving around the house and elevation. and detailing maintains the same basic palette with the rear facade opening up more showing the generous outdoor space and covered closure. Next one and next slide. I'm looking at the detail sheet. The
roof has a pitch of a 7 over 12 with a wood shingle tile. Windows are traditional plaid wood impact double pump utilizing button bars to revive the glass appropriately. We have a combination of colonial and Bermuda style operable shadows that are
correctly sized for each window. We have a smooth ster wall finish with stuckco window sills and trim details. Uh the color scheme will be simple. The base stuck color trim railings, columns, windows and doors will all be white and the ship and the shutters will be a dark
blue. We have some samples if like pass them around at the end of the presentation if you like. Next slide. Just the details showing um how eaves overhang and the details I previously mentioned. Next one. These are just our line drawings with a little bit of
color. Next, the other innovations. Next one. And through our design process, these photos represented commonly used Anglo Caribbean styles and details that we've taken as our inspiration. We studied several ways of expressing the roof
lines while maintaining the overall simplicity of the house. Next one. the continuation of these details that I've already seen and I've seen a lot of the style around the town. Next, just this is the floor plan looking a
little closer. Um, as I mentioned, it's mainly for one-story living. Um, next one. This is just the second floor as I mentioned, two um suites with a little sitting area tucked away. Um, not visible from any one of the streets. We
wanted this to be predominantly one storage house. Next one. This is a simple roof plan. Next. Again, this is our study indicating the percentage of openings versus each facade in code in excessive
code. Next one. That's that concludes the architectural presentation. Do you want the landscape presentation? I'm happy to answer any questions. I think the whole thing and then Okay. questions.
Good morning, Dustin Environment Group Palm Beach. Um, as we look at the existing vegetation, um, the question was asked about the north and the east buffer. Right now, it's called Rica Palms. They kind of almost like a dual property thing between. So, it's a
wonderful construction buffer which will remain during construction. And the ultimate plan though, the ones that are on our side, we are going to remove come up with a little bit different buffer with some very heights and varying material so it's not so dense. We'd love
some of that ocean breeze to be able to come through while still giving privacy to the neighbors. So, um to answer that question, that's the game plan regarding that. Right now, it's kind of an eclectic um just a variation of material on the project. Nothing really like what I would call specimen of significant
worth saving. The problem is when a lot like this has to be raised uh literally raised the house and then the lot it's very complicated because we got to relocate the temporary nurseries and unfortunately there's nothing there of value. So we're going to start fresh. So that's what the demolition plan shows really all the vegetation except the
north and east buffer which we think is a wonderful construction buffer for our neighbors during this time period. You look at the site plan and we're on sheet L3.0 jumping ahead there. Um Peter walked us through, but a couple things I wanted to just kind of highlight. I think um the
team has done a wonderful job and creatively, you know, kind of mitigating um the finish floor of the house as it's higher and then obviously the street is very low. So we've done this with a just a a series of terracing. Uh as you can see in the front, there's some low walls. Uh we've done a great job, I
think, of layering the material so you don't really sense the terracing is strong. And as you look in the southwest corner, even like the access to the backyard, you know, we've got the the race planter adjacent to the facade, we've got a low retaining wall and we're able to kind of, you know, cut that,
let's say, that great differential in half. And by the time we get to the backyard, uh you see we've got some little steps in this we call transitional area, which then allows us to go up to the the main uh floor of the garden, which is gives as much wine as possible for the children and the
grandchildren. Uh we've also got a little beach access there in the east. Sour clients will come back and forth to the beach. Um you know I think the pool has sized appropriately the lawn the planting. Uh so as Peter mentioned there's been a lot of thought with you
know really trying to be um just understanding the site and not trying to do the biggest house and be mitigated with these retaining walls. And I think it's real level in appropriate way. As far as the materials, the front driveway will be your port tabby show material.
Sure, you're very familiar with the wonderful coastal veracular. What's nice about it is, you know, expansion joints are about every 200 ft. So, you don't end up with four weight paper, thousand of them. So, it's very clean, very pretty, very coastal, very appropriate. And then we're going to have an accent with a limestone, which is a very nice
material. And then this will find itself with all the flat work at the back. So everything's consistent from the front to the back and really ties in well to what Peter's done on the site. As we continue on, you can see the plan there. Um I think we've done a good job uh you know kind of restoring the historical
landscape. The historical landscape right now which you know the neighbors would be accustomed to would be a wonderful combination of palms and trees. So we're bringing that back. Um you know we're bringing palms there but it's not just a monoculture of artha
palms. We're bringing coconuts and and and some other smaller palms, rusty fig, some pretty gumbos, date palms. Um you just just kind of assortment to really bring in some variation in there to really soften the design. Go ahead.
So there's our elevations there for the north elevation. Again, once the RAS are gone, we're going to put a hedge in there. Then we're going to sprinkle coins of varying heights. Uh so we'll obviously have the pacity of the privacy on the ground level. Then the second floor will be mitigated with the varying heights of the coconuts and the palms.
And then when you look at the south elevation um again you know the the wall is only four feet but once we come in we have a secondary wall which brings our grade up. So uh it's going to feel very scale appropriate on the street. Uh we've done a little colony of pig plums
along the southwest corner specimen tree in front and then you see the varying textures as you move eastward. Continue there. Okay. So there's the uh east elevation uh as well. Um the guest house uh pool house, excuse me, really serves kind of as the back grade for our
property. And once we put in our hedges there, rusty figs, coconuts, um especially gumbo limbo, Alexander pumps, we have a little Boston that's outside the door there. Um I think it's going to feel very pretty and very coastal. Uh going to the front of the house, as we
mentioned earlier, we've got some vines that clouding the garage, the specimen trees, bay palms, the pigeon plums, and all the different textures and materials. And even brought in some blue flowers to go with some of the blue on the house. I think they're very thoughtful. Go ahead.
And these are some of the images you already seen. I'll continue. Go ahead. Keep going. Backyard. Keep going. Excuse me. And there's our civil plan which we you know really worked well with our engineer to
make sure that um you know all the drainage would be appropriate as level as possible as usable for our clients. So as Peter mentioned we're here to answer any questions. Thank you. I think I might start let me talk but I
need to point out chair on one of the codes that not being followed and you may not have the history that I have been on many years
had a former chair who helped design say construct the side set backs. Um, and when I was looking at time, I kept looking for the setback of the
second story to the first, which is really a very key component of our code. And I I I think that you may not quite understood how it worked. Um the second story
should be shall be set back from each first story side elevation a minimum of 15% of the width of the first story of the house and then for example I say for a 70 foot wide
home the second story is required to be set back a minimum of 10 ft from from each first floor side elevation.
And so so there's no um setback on the second floor to the first floor. Um and we had a home built many years ago that would had a straight wall. Uh and we were very conscious of that
impact on on massing and also impact on the neighbors. And given the fact that we had significant reality that we have to raise the house on the first
street level by I don't know 3 ft 4T um the house is going to be that much higher consequence which is beyond your control um but the having the second floor
sitting right over the first floor uh is not compliance I'm happy to respond. It was absolutely thank you and um it was a concern for us and we wor with um town attorney through the process. So if you go to the next slide,
there were two areas obviously our second floor is really visible from the um from the south side which is the interior of the property for the homeowners. I'm going to point to this. So we have our second story here and we have bumped out this first story um in front of the master bedroom that
accounts for that 15% of the two story. It bumps out about 4 ft. So there's a step that covered entry of the master. Then it steps back for the two story. And then on the reverse side, this element bumps out 3 ft and we have
these large overhangs that constitute we we've accounted for those in our lot coverage and in our calculations. So they constitute a onetory element that protrudes beyond that of the twotory. So we are complying I believe with the code
not and you may be on from the south south elevation but the north elevation I would say that again that that I don't see how you break up the first and second floors on on the north elevation I'm looking at the slide isn't
labeled but it's that same picture just in in color some I'll go to that sheet if you go That technical side I'm going to show you. Keep going back.
Keep going. Keep going. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. No. Go back. Forward. Keep going. Going back or forward? Forward. Forward. Yeah. Forward. Slowly. It's not the next one. The one
after going after. So there we go. Let's stop over here. So on the north side we have this element that bumps out into the setback. You can see we additionally stepped our second story. An additional set back. We're not right on the second
story set back. We're further in. So we've allowed for this bump out that raises up. It's about 9 ft. How far out does it bump out? It bumps out It bumps out about four feet and it has a trellus overhang. So it has a roof
structure above that to count as a one story and it is factored into our calculations. So we've treated that as a onetory element along that house. You probably need twice that or under the regulation we're counting this is
the width of the properties. Well, so um that was not the way the code was written and was never intended to be that. And again, I know the author, we spent hours on the subject. It was the width of the house. It's not
the width of some section. The full width of the house. So, um, having now the width of the house would be from the front entrance. Correct. So, you said the width of this,
not the second story to use 70 ft. That would probably not be a wing. That would probably be the whole Correct. And I I was assuming the second story of that width is I mean the second story of the of the width of the house because that is you know visually
the second floor looks like it's stacked on the first floor and we were trying to significantly I mean significant move the second story from the first story elevation for reasons of privacy light
and So that's the code and there's a reason why it was reviewed by the ARP recommended to the town commission approved by the town commission and that's what we apply
to all new homes for 10 years. I appreciate the intent of the code. I think it's good. I think there is an argument you know for classical architecture to have twotory elements that are punctuated with administration. I think the intent of the code is not to feel
that the twotory is imposing on the neighbors and I I felt that we adhereed to that I respect that but I think you need is that correct?
So if the board is interpreting the width of the home to be the entire width of the front facade, then we would need to either comply with that 15% on either side or we would need a variance. That's correct.
Um Trey, um it's not labeled, but there's a picture of Can you get the picture of the north elevation? Um it's um before the pictures at the end. Keep going.
One back. Keep going back a little bit more. There you go. Okay. Now, all right. So, we have the the stack. Um there's just a a flat face on most of the whole north side there. Even with some fenestration, I don't think it's sufficient enough,
incidentally. And you're arguing that the railing on the first level, the kick out of four feet that you talked about would be the the buffer between the first and the second floor. Really, the buffer we need is is halfway up the side of the building, which would be a division between the first and the
second floor. Correct. Isn't that where the step back would be some sort? Yeah. From the side of the building. Um, again, you know, we could roof that if we wanted. I don't think that's the intent code, right? It's not to just add some
things to the side to make it the math is sensitive when it's 73 ft and 15% equals some um and we we've been applying this consistently.
So I'm sorry it's difficult to understand. No, not at all. We understand we met with the town and we had said we're meeting with the town and we evolved the design based on their interpretation. felt comp
wasn't with us at the time was instructed we as a town and particularly staff to try to accommodate applicants. So maybe it's a misunderstanding but it's not compliance
and that was the original design anyway. This was no we changed it over our first we had originally the second floor pretty much on the north side of the house. We we try to put it for the reasons that the front of the house
but the original plan would work and it doesn't work. Uh, you know, there other members of the board. This is a beautiful home. I mean, it's beautifully designed. Don't read long on that at all. I mean, it's magnificent. Is there not some way to move the second
story over that wing south some? I mean, for the area from the from the top again. Um this the slides are the 15 ft. Um if
it's it's just hard to reconcile adjusting the second story um trying to mitigate the step back but taking into consideration the one story component. It doesn't I don't know if it meets the code. You know we're trying to mitigate
the um the second story impact on the properties. it's really our property on the south side. No one else will see it except the homeowners on the north side next to the neighbors. Um we felt that we did if we have to move that another
15 ft. I think it's detrimental on something no one's ever going to see and that we're at the you know in the back of the property. So it's um it's a difficult code to understand the intent of other than it's for the second story
to mitigate the impact to the to the design. So when we're looking at you elevation this case
too um but it was it was never just the street impact the result of the impact of the adjacent homes on the side in the back to those who were living in these It's
not just people driving by. Sure. And for example, the former applicant was talking about high vegetation. You know, light grass won't grow. Um,
and that's a that's a consideration uh beyond just the privacy of being in your pool and not having second story right on the Sure. So it just as you can see I'm kind I'm kind of stuck at this
point. I appreciate I feel strongly about it but again you know I'm just one member and I agree with Mr. Smith the entire the concept of the house. Um I I I do have one other
question and I'm struggling with it so I'm not looking it up now but the pictures up here. Um having the garage at a different grade than the rest of the house
to me makes the house very unbalanced. It's not Um and I I was we might have one other house dealt with this FEMA requirement making
information but um and if you leave it as is. I understood from Trey that from the top of the garage door to the
the peak the original peak it was just too too much open massing and you added that architectural feature of bumping it out bumped up the other side
and again this is only my opinion um and I'm not an architect But I've seen a lot of homes many years ago um trying to address and I understood what you were trying to accomplish the massing then the house got really busy
all these roofs I I I don't know why I like a cleaner house. Um, we don't like really complicated houses that every little tricked up. Not that this is tripped up, but yeah.
You know, and um, so my question to you is I probably shouldn't ask the question, but I won't ask question. Um, is there any way any reason why we
couldn't raise the grade for the garage? So, it's all on one level. You can it would be impossible to get the car in. You're driving from 1 foot with the road is at 1 ft NAV and the
garage will then be at 9 ft 96T. So, the garage would be this high up over a 30ft span. It's it is not a good look. It's not a good design and it it would be really detrimental to the street, the landscaping. So better architectural
resolution is to gradually get up to that height so it's not in your face. Essentially what we would see then is a house on a hill and then everything just sloping down. Well, I appreciate that. That's why I'm asking the question. Yeah. No, we studied that was one of the
starting point. We do have houses that are done that way. That was probably because ground was just the way it was built. We're higher than we have to be higher than they are unfortunately. So I think um we're
another 2 ft higher than they have to be. you actually I think there's some bad examples in town as well that we can reference where you see a driveway and then you see another slope and I'm sure a low car would scratch the driveway as they get into that. So I feel that the balance I
don't think it's that complicated. We really try to keep the roof lines and keep the intent of the design to keep this cottage kind of feel. Thank you. No, no, I appreciate it. Thank you. But I think your cherishing and landscaping do do that. Yeah.
We're very familiar with the property. We knew the owners our whole lives. So, the thing is it seems to be then we're we're stuck on the north side. And uh Trey, what options would they have with the town commission? They could appeal for,
you know, maybe additional fenistration, maybe a couple of feet notch back. I mean, what what options do they have? So, I mean, I I ran the numbers. It appears that the width of the house front is about 79 ft which would require a 12t set back
between the one and two stories higher. Yeah. Right. So you'd be looking at you know it's a 15t set back on the north side. So you'd be 27 ft from the property there. I mean that's a pretty significant step back.
Um that's you know I think it's about 5t or so maybe six feet now. So you're looking at ding that. So they could they could go to the town commission and request they keep these plans with
varants. They have to meet general criteria. Well, we haven't we would need to notice that as a as a varian. So we'd have to re renotice and reschedu. Um, I think what I would prefer is maybe meeting with the applicant, trying to get through some of these issues and
calling a special meeting of the ARP to so they don't have to wait for two months, right? Because we don't meet in August. When when you read the variance venue, when you're building a new home, it's it's pretty tough. I mean, so it's not
choice. Yeah. It's not a really good choice when you're building a new home. Correct. What's the hardship? No, no. I I understand. And again just we our goal is to be sensitive to the neighbors which we think we really are sensitive understanding your code too.
So it's not we don't we don't doubt your intention but just the code was written it was well out and it's been applied for I don't know 10 years anyway. So
I might be exactly seven years I don't know but a good number of years but back I really like the house I send on the issue on the garage I'm fine with that I know it's going to be a challenge
for the town because every house that gets built at that end of polo is going to have the same drop in the garage. Um, I think that I'd rather not see it, but you understand that that's what we got to live with. Um, I think how you mitigate
it was as good as you do. So, I'm fine with that. Uh, the only thing I would ask in the landscaping the norththeast corner norththeast corner you put some um,
it's it's the coconut palms don't go all the way to the corner. uh on the uh east elevation and on the north elevation. You see the corner is open. Yeah. Now the northeast corner. Yeah. There you go. if you could put
some there please. That was a suggestion by my brother who lives diagon. It's easier to ask what what are you are keeping versus what you're removing. You're not really keeping any of the the fus trees or nothing really.
No service tree in the corner I think would look nicer. No problem doing that. Yeah, I think that's maybe a shade tree or something pretty. Yeah, Tom, I looked at that. Um, you're putting in some significant specimen.
Yeah, I mean, you're putting in a jumbo two in the front, something like this, I saw pictures of them. I mean, they're beautiful. Yeah. So, I think you're doing a great job. There's a beautiful oak tree. I wish you
could do something with that. Yeah. The front entrance. We looked at it. It just there's no way you can Well, it's so established. I mean, it cost. Yeah. I mean, that's a dream.
Yeah. Um Okay. Can I ask about the uh the electrical and the AC stuff kind of behind the cabana? Like how far into the It looks like the Yeah, the setback is
to the cabana. How far into the rest of the property are is the electrical stuff. So, we're about 11 ft away from the property line. The cabana, the back of the cabana is at 15 ft. And I'm overestimating wheat. It could be less.
It should be less than that. So 11 to 12 ft would be our set back to that um east property line. And we're 15 ft more than 15 ft on the north side. We're probably about in the 17 ft 16 to 17t range on the north side
with our equipment. Again, trying to be really sensitive with the neighbors. Um we're really cognizant. The biggest issue that this town's going to have is the drainage with new houses. I think if they're not um the right intention, we kept the
grade around the perimeter at the same level. So, we're not impacting the neighbors at all. We raised just our property and stepped it back and created an exfiltration system that keeps all the water on our property. So, we're doing a belt and suspenders, not only
for our clients, but for the neighbors. They'll have zero impact. If you can imagine, a newer home may build up their side walls, build up the whole property, and then that water pressure will actually seep to the neighbors if it's not done correctly. So, we just noticed this in most of the work we do as Palm
Beach, and they're very concerned about water there as as you are here. So, we kept the grade around the north and the east side at the same level, stepped it back at least 15 ft before we raised our property, just so that the neighbors wouldn't be impacted at all. Um it's
just something for future houses that come with 40 units. I've just noticed it in other durations. And water on our property has been Yeah. So we we had a whole exfiltration system that contains all the water that falls on our property. It goes through
an underground system into a trench on our property and then dissipates um into the earth. It won't run off onto the neighbors or onto the street. How big is the current property or the current house that's being demol?
Yeah, I think it was like 3600. They had a warning after that. Well, we do partial demolition. I think you would like to start the demolition
process regardless of the design. Um, just want to get done before the season of everyone else. And I try We sort of debated that issue with property
offic said no. I think the issue with that was uh performing the performing the demolition in season. They did they did approve the the demolition with just senrigate the lot until such time as the house in favor.
Yes. So you understand if we approve it demolition the landing then then you're going to have to somewhat make it presenting it and irrigating it. It may be such that you move the process along so the timing is the same anyway. But that's what I'm thinking. We can I
think we can approve those motions. But I don't I'm not speaking for the floor because I'm speaking for myself. Otherwise, I don't think I would move forward with the recommendation on on the approval of the home yet. We all sort of
Yeah. How's the timing with the how's the demolition of the road together? Um difficult. Yeah. I mean, they they want to be demoed before December 1st. So, um, you know, obviously this is this is polo. I
think we're getting toward the end and the fact that it's not a G road where the majority of this construction for phase two is right now. I think that, you know, it it throws some additional traffic on that road. Um, perhaps with
school traffic, but the demo typically only takes a few days. It would only take a couple days. So, I think two days to knock it down, maybe another three to remove. I think we're looking at seven basically. I think we would we would work with the school or member to try to schedule that
as best we could. So I'm in favor of Yeah. I have a special meeting. We're both in Hampton. They just fly out to a special meeting if you want to do it. if you want to do
it early, you know, I mean, I'll try to accommodate you. We have an August meeting where we don't have a scheduled August meeting. So, just as as a feedback, the design of the house is favorable. We just need this one component to to
and the landscaping. Sorry, with a tweak. Correct. So, it's just a matter of trying to figure out where you going to put the second story. So, right. So we we've talked about a number of things. The garage elevation. So we're not
landscaping is we are going to need to adjust the equipment and we are Mr. Glennon correctly noted that the re setback um is maxed out with that minor accessory pool command. So they'll need to relocate that somewhere else. I think that um it's easy. Rene and I were
concerned about that second story portion. So and the massing in the front facade. So we we missed that when that came in through a subsequent u plan. So we'll we'll address that as well. But really we're just looking at how to manage the step back for the second
story portion and that's what we'll meet with him about and get a revised plan for a special meeting. Um if we can set a date now we will not be this so I don't know has
schedules they will be able to specially set something now what is like the late Thursdays look like in August I got 21st and 28th so 28th being the last Thursday of the month
realistically in terms of you We'll meet any date that you agree to. I'm sure you can get it done. We'll uh I don't think we'll be back. The golf stream starts the 25th. Could we do the afternoon on a Thursday?
No. Be the 26th. Sure. Is Tuesday the 26th okay for everyone? Yeah. I don't. Okay. I I can check it. Yes, Katie will be back. So, you said that's when school started.
The 25th. This is the first day of school. Yep. So, the 26th at 8:30. Peter, you want to mark that? We need to submit the drawings and we'll have a follow conversation after today.
So, so I would like would like to make a motion to recommend it. Wait, I I have something to read in the record. I'm so sorry. Um, I did find the last house, Mr. Glennon, was 3,679 ft is what's there right now. Okay. Um, but, uh, Mr. Roach
emailed and he'd like it to be read into the record. Uh, dear Renee, I don't understand why this application is even being considered by the ARPB in light of the core district control area that was written by Paul Lions and committee. I am totally opposed to a house this size and two stories built within the poor district. It was my understanding that
this area would be preserved for mega house construction. Would you please clarify why this is even coming before the ARP? So, we did have a discussion with him and told him it was within the parameters of the new code, but he still wanted it written to the
joining neighbor Rene. Uh, no, he's on another street but in the court district. Okay. So um so we can make a motion to defer the application as well to the specially set. I'm going to make this two other motions first. Do we want to wait and make all
I think it'd be eas one question. I always tell my staff working on 7. So, could you uh the the second lift of asphalt for our project back here is probably going to be down sometime in
February or March and 26. Um could you kind of go over your schedule for demolition again? So, our demolition we want to do before the end of November be completed. We'll start and irrigate and our goal is to
try to start construction in the beginning of the year. Okay. But that's that's a I mean the schedule so but I'm we're probably looking at spring 26 for the
second in the entire the first month or so of our construction is going to be limited to one piece of equipment because it's piles. We need to do piles on the property. So that may mitigate the amount of traffic that we all have on
our property allowing for the roads to be resurfaced and finish. Your concern is the two working together or I think timing wise it could be okay because we'll be limited with minimal equipment for the first few months
before we won't have multiple trades on that project for a while. It'll just keep the construction shell. So try to remind me And just so we all look at the same u reality um under the code I don't know
part of the code that well um what you can and can't do during season for some reason I had impression I thought you would need pilings that pilings would be so noisy we wouldn't have that I don't know that right typic
we we look at it now. So you don't in order to allow construction to move forward, there are periodically issues where there will need to be some noise that was not prohibited, I'm sorry, not allowed in season. We have a provision
in the code that allows certain activities of short limited duration that can be approved by the town manager. So if we had just a small, you know, driving piles or either helical or piles. They're not driven.
There's no vibration. No, no, no. That's they typically do that for sight walls for homes. Yes. But uh like the attorney said that it allows for exceptions for but the question is
yes when he asks you say yes. We'll work with the town schedule and we have prestruction meetings and it's not just driving piles. There are other uh screening noise parts of this equation in terms of
construction activities that are limited or otherwise allowed by section. Thank you. that we plan to be work hand in hand with the town is obviously
we'll have to simply because of the location that's right okay let's make a motion well I I'll make a motion to defer application 25-15 until our next meeting special meeting which will convene on
August 26 at 8:30 a.m. Mrs. Power. Yes. Mr. Glennon. Yes. Vice Chairman Smith. Yes. Chairman Lions. Yes. Thank you for your Good morning. I'm Luis Rivera with the family architects. We're today we're
presenting uh lot three and lot nine the work starting with uh lot three. Um sure I apologize I have to run
around so this committee has the authority. I've seen your plans. I'm fine with them. Um I think I've seen some before say yes times. Yeah. And thank you for keeping a good balance in terms of laying out the differential
style. I find along those lines. Do you guys happen to have um you had a great layout at one point that showed all you just can't see it when you print it out. paper. So much information.
All right, he's starting with lot three, guys. So, go to 2517. Go ahead. No worries. Uh so the uh first slide is just the front elevation with some of the last uh that we're providing. Uh the next slide is the
location of the lot in comparison to the other blocks. Um the next one is the page that you're looking for with all the elevations. Uh this is our lot right here, lot three.
And it's flanked by a twotory lot two and a one story lock. The wrong package. Which package are we looking at? 2517. Lot three. Lot three. Yes. For some reason, it looks blurry, but uh
I believe there's another page. Yeah, the next page has a zoom version of the two adjacent houses. No, Nicole, for further, could you put this in the packets, please?
Okay. Yeah. And they like to stay assumed version of the adjacent houses. Lot two is West Indies and the lot four
is Caribbean. Same as our lot. Um, of course there's different Yeah. Um, uh, next slide. is our site plan with our calculations um the required health calculations. On
our next slide, uh we have the floor layout, floor plan kind of layout, location of equipment. Uh this slide is the uh material selection
page. Uh next is the rear elevation without the landscape so you can appreciate the full architecture. Uh the next slide is a 2D version of front and rear elevation.
Uh next slide would be the side elevations and for the landscape which is the next public light. Uh, Louis Blah from Jessica is going to be Hi, my name is Louis Blah. I'm Majest
Landscape Architects. Um, basically on on this property um in the rear again we have the required uh green buttwood uh buffer trees. Uh we have four on one side and and the other one on I mean on the east
side and one on the west in directly rear from the pool. We have u um hot um Montgomery palms a triple and two doubles with uh some interesting color with golden villas. Uh and then on
either side of that two additional uh small leaf clucius. Um in addition to that uh there is a fishtail hedge beyond the property that's existing. In front of that would be a water carpass uh
hedge. We're starting at 5 foot and then of course in front of it would be all um the additional plantings for texture and interest and color that we've discussed with the neighbors. Um this is uh kind
of uh interesting on the east side. Um we're we're proposing two garden pods uh which is basically uh the owner likes gardening and they're just going to be 8 in high 6x4 you know so we can contain the soil um nothing won't be visible
from the street. Uh we're also uh designed and proposing a gate that's going to be um screen any kind of visibility into the rear and have a booming villa barine u over it. In addition to that, a porter carcass
hedge. Both sides have existing um clusia hedges. Um so there's screening to that. In addition where we have the garage doors, we added two calipms which kind of flag the existing calipm that's
on the uh lock four side to totally screen the garage doors from the neighbor. Uh and then on the uh west side there's existing we're showing them off the property uh
fishtail pond because of their um garage. Uh and then we also have two additional um adinia ponds where the privac uh privacy area is outside the master bathroom in the front. Uh other
than the three existing uh live oaks, they're in the front. We we're creating a little board area with some uh uh foxtail palms. Uh and on either side we're flagging the architecture with um
um these are Garcinia and then uh double uh Alexander's uh kind of up and above to kind of break down the um the massing of of the roof. Um, other than that, um,
any questions? Yeah. Similar to the rest. Great landscaping. All the ones that are already in. This will be similar to what's there, right? And you said this is for an owner. Yes. Oh, good. Yes. Now, there's some variations how we can
see it cold specifically requ. Yeah. Kind of off the house kind of in the middle of the Yeah. Yes, because uh the other walls around the house uh have egress windows and usually bedrooms uh um like on the
on the front. Um so the only uh space that's close to the garage uh that is not intrusive to the windows would be off the off the wall. It's about three 3 foot six from the
other, but it's uh 14 ft from the uh property line, which should be far enough from maybe is that where you put the generators on
the other properties? Uh uh some of the other properties didn't have generators. the ones that were owner specific. Those uh were the owners requested the generators and we kind of did the same thing on lot six
and uh lot 10. This is a kind of a common question on the the east and west borders. Are you using just one hedge to bring between the two properties or Yeah. Are they each having their own hedge on their own property? No, it's one hedge.
Okay. Yes, it's it's one hedge and uh whoever I guess got built up first is responsible for that hedge. Okay. So So the one on the west there's one there already. Correct. That's already there. That that's about 6 foot, you know. And the
one on the east four. It's not in yet. It's going in. Yeah. It's going in. Okay. When this property gets constructed. Yes. And what we try to do with the buildings in between is try to work with
the existing trees or whatever. So we're not on top of each other. Any other comments or questions? Yeah. Mr. Glennon, if you could make the motion since Jerry's got langitis. Sure. Um I move to approve
uh the proposal on application 2717 2915 blue water code as provided to the sorry it's on the back the motion is on the back. There you go. First motion
it is. Uh motion to recommend a room level three architectural site plan based on the finding construction of a 5464 square ft Anglo Caribbean style one-story single family dwelling with twocar garage and swimming pool uh
including the landscape and and hardscape uh which meets the minimum intended manual and applicable review standards with the following conditions. Any minor modifications to landscaping shall be submitted to the town manager for review
and approval and any major modifications will be brought back for review and approval prior to the commencement of landscaping. Mrs. Power, yes. Mr. Glennon, yes. Acting chairman Smith. Yes. Thank you very much. You can move
on to the next one. Just give us a minute to check it out. This is going to be 2516, right? Yeah. This slot n go ahead please. Yeah. Uh this is lot nine uh angopian
style home. Uh one story. Uh second slide is the location in comparison to the other lots. Uh the next slide uh like in the previous uh home uh we're showing the flanking
houses. Lot eight um is uh the one with a white roof and lot 10 is a twostory home uh all 350 different style. Uh next slide is is are eight and 10 under
construction or or uh I believe lot eight is under construction for sure. Lot 10. We just approved the last good. Thank you. Uh next slide is the site plan with our
calculations. Um the next slide after that is the floor plan. Um and next one is the uh material selection, roof, shutters, door colors.
Uh next one is uh view of the rear elevation. We got the landscape uh to appreciate the architecture. And um next uh is front and rear elevation in 2D and next one would be the side elevations as
well uh in 2D. And uh for the landing part just uh again uh this is uh a wider uh lot. Um in the rear the fishtail ponds on the east side lot 8 that's under
construction will have 8 foot calillum hedge installed um uh upon landscape installation on on the west side. Um, interesting
enough, we we have the uh in the rear um uh green buttonwoods. In addition uh to to that the um we have three garcinas behind the pool you know with the
additional uh textural flowering plants um and some formal uh topiary balls um within color that give it interest and um color in the front was kind of interesting. the owner really
recommended and loved to have a beautiful canary date palm. So, at the entry offc center for her request, we have a beautiful specimen canary date palm. Uh we also added some large coconuts uh throughout which kind of
repeats something that we've done in the past uh to to a couple of our models, but we haven't really repeated that often cuz people don't like to have to clean the coconuts. but this was different. So, here it is. I think it looks great with the architecture that
we're proposing. And then up against the building, uh in the front, we have some columnar carpets. She wanted the tropical but also the Palm Beach look. We think that accomplishes it. Um kind of structured u uh landscape with uh uh
ground covers of Fus Green Island, Orisa, and Jasmine Minima. some interest at the entry. Again, we're repeating the topiary balls. Um, kind of going back in the formula. And then as as you go to the entry, obviously to the right
there's a major specimen of a beautiful canary date pond with some u uh imperial bromeilads uh portal sprinkles and again jasmine minima which is a low 6 in ground cover. Um
that about wraps it up. This is a fun landscape actually. It's kind of different there. Yeah. A little more of a topiary look. Well, topiary combined with the palms of the canary and and the coconuts and the
Montgomearies, you know, and that and then also I think it was a nice mix. It was interesting because of the owner's request, but we I think we accommodated both kind of carried the look of everything else, but also gave her the textural and
palm quality that she requested. So, it looks like on the schematic that lot 8 has this big buffer tree that isn't even on this property, right? Going down the east side of the property. Yes. Looking at the dotted property line. So
that we're not you're not having a hedge on the property. No, we're not. Well, that's an easement right there. It's a 12T uh water water easement right here that stretch there. Correct. Correct. And uh the owner to
the east is lot seven. Um they're doing uh an 8 foot 8 to 10 foot calilm hedge from the get- go. So that's going to be a full mature 8ft high hedge. Um it
really didn't uh warrant uh you know doing a hedge there. And as you can see we pulled the the 4ft fence that's required for the pool um outside the utility easement and put a hedge on that
area. But the rest of it we just left it open. What is the uh Can you What's the privacy garden on the side that's kind of going into the setback? That's just a 4ft wall with some
landscape uh that they can look from the bathroom. the the hedge on the outside of that 4ft wall, which is what we're permitted, is going to be a 8 foot photo carpass hedge just to give it the
privacy in addition obviously to the hedge on lot 10. Is there an outdoor shower in that area of um not on this one? No. No. Um, basically, well, what we're doing on this one, we kind of brought in some stepping stones with pebble rock in
there, and then there's some uh uh freestanding planters with like grasses and uh bromeilads and so forth. Uh, it's more of a private. Yeah, it's more something to view
basically. Nothing large. the the two little trees we're showing there just our seniors just kind of framing the views from the master bathroom outdoors. There's um u some tide plants for color,
but then the the textures there's some mully grass. There's there's a uh desert rose straw in a planter. just varying heights of planters with the the um colors on here. It's a blue shutter,
white wall, and what's this roof color? It's a charcoal. Charcoal. Oh, okay. Is it that that pan of blue? I'm just You haven't used that exactly? No, not at all. That's actually we're
doing a we can't go dark because the neighbor has dark light. That's the shadow power. That's Yeah, I was going to say
color that white. Yeah. I'm I'm going to go get the board real quick just to make sure that's all out. Once the sun hits that, it's going to look very similar to what we have here on the red.
The color that we put on the shutter is when hits it tint. Good. A second here. Any other questions? So, just out of curiosity, how how the sales will this be like 10 out of the 14
or so? One more. That's it. They're all sold before. Yes. Well, we have models still. Models are not sold. Three models. Oh, there's some models still. They'll start to sell those now.
And we have the last one we're coming in in September 11. 11 that has Yeah, that one's going to be on the norththeast corner. 13 just come. How many have two stories? Just three.
Uh we have lot two, lot uh six, lot seven, and lot 10. The only war. We've all were worried about it looking too much similar to a developmental kind of thing. It doesn't show you how
between landscaping and architecture. You work really hard on the very How's it look? Are you okay? No, it's not. So the shutter color is too light. So they'll come back with a little darker sample really like
So we're h you're going to pick a darker blue motion to recommend the level three architectural site plan based on the findings of the construction of a 5,438 foot Anglo Caribbean style one for a
single family dwelling, two and a half car garage and swimming pool including new landscape and heartscape meeting the minimum intent of the design manual and applicable review standards uh with the following condition that any minor modification the improved landscaping shall be submitted to the town manager
such as these shutters for review and approval of any major modification shall be brought back to the for review and approval prior to the comment of landscaping. Thank you Renee. Mrs. Yes. Mr. Glennon, yes. Acting chairman Smith. Yes. And Nicole, if I could have that changed
before the commission meeting, that would be great. Shak. Thank you. Thank you. Great job. Yeah, we have two small things. Um, don't just kind of the bare bones here, but I just wanted to give you an update. This year the Florida legislator
legislature enacted legislation that will have count powers to regulate artificial turf. House bill 683 requires the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to adopt minimum standards for the installation of synthetic turf on single family residential areas that
are 1 acre or less in size and include majority of the core and place districts as well as some other properties in ocean west north south and beachfront districts. The to be adopted standards by the DP are to consider material type, permeability, storm water management, portable water conservation, water
quality, proximity to space and other vegetation and other factors impacting environmental conditions on based properties. The D has not enacted these standards yet, but once they do, we will be prohibited from enforcing our artificial turf regulations to the
extent they conflict with what the D requires. So um at this point uh we are continuing to uh march forward with the application of our artificial turf regulations but we are waiting for that
um um that um what's the word I'm looking for when we don't have our home powers or overall anyway preeemption. Uh we're waiting for that preeemption to be enacted, but uh I don't know how long
the D is going to to take. Um at some point, uh we will be looking at artificial regulations. I believe uh our commissioner Rob Canfield wanted uh us to look at them and and see how they were doing. So we were going to discuss
discuss that at the commission level, but at this point we're kind of at a standstill until we figure out what the D is going to do. So, I just wanted to update you on that because I think I talked about that maybe a month or two ago. Um, anything like this that we do in the fall or in the spring, not during
So, it's interesting. We the state stepping in and going to kind of statewide sort of standards. That's right. Would they and we don't if they're more strict than us, we have to abide by them. Can we be more strict than them? Uh, we cannot enact anything that is inconsistent. So if they say you have to
allow it in side yards, you know, something like that, Trey, is the intent of them getting involved because they're concerned about losing. It was part of a u a larger bill that
related to building permit processing, times, applications, revisions to the Florida building code. So it was I can't say that it was really targeted one specific thing. I think it was just kind of I don't want to say thrown in but just one part of of a larger bill. Um so
I think that part of it is you know this whole you know freedom to do whatever you want with your property but also realizing that there may be some worthwhile regulations regarding um content and things like that but permeability and
water usage and conservation were some of the the things that the D needs to consider for the legislation. We'll we'll see. And I don't know I have no idea what that will look like. I mean, I read the staff report and watched it go through, but really no hints on as
far as what specifically we're going to be looking at there. The other item that I touched on earlier is the changes to County Road, uh 4120 county road. Um they I guess went out to determine the cost
of removing these very very significant shady lady black olive trees and it was significantly more than they thought. So they're revising their plan to only remove one. So they will make they will keep uh three of the four black olive trees. Uh and because that is now
creating a different aesthetic, they wanted to change um from I believe it was green buttonwood to cathedral oak. So, they're going to replace uh the one removed Shady Lady Black olive with two Cathedral Oaks on the south side and
then one Cathedral Oak will replace the green button post on the north side. Staff went ahead and approved that because that is something that we really can do on the staff level. One tree being removed, reasonable replacement tree certainly with three uh added and it's just a minor modification to an
approved plan. So, we went ahead and approved that. I just wanted to give you an update that applications can look very different than what was approved. Um, you know, we saw the application over in place where there were some significant alterations that we felt were warranted to come before the airb
because when you approve something and it has a brown two brown garage doors and a brown roof and then it's got kind of a gray roof and the doors changed now it's a single door and the door's white.
