Mr. LuBien requested consideration of proposed plan for future arched wall around the patio area, as shown on plans. This is a colonial house which Mrs. Page is modifying to a Spanish style. The arched wall and other modifications to the elevation sit well inside of setback. To be considered is the harmonious feature (Section 523). - 2 - March 10, 1983 The present area of the building, ground level, is 1980 sq. ft. The proposed addition, ground level is 1629 sq. ft., totalling 3609 sq. ft., 15% of which is 490. Mrs. Page is planning to use only 340 sq. ft. of flat roof area - well within the limitations, under Section 225. Following discussion, Mrs. Johnson moved for approval of the flat roof addition as outlined on plans submitted, seconded by Mr. Rossi and carried unanimously. After review of the arched wall and other modifications to elevation, Mr. Rossi moved for approval of the alterations and additions to the exterior elevation, as shown on plans submitted, based on Section 523 of the Zoning Ordinance. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Johnson and carried unanimously. This is to go to Council. 4) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF EXTERIOR ELEVATION ALTERATIONS JERRY BARROWS, 360 N.E. 105 STREET Mr. Barrows proposed to cover the entire front elevation, which presently has an ordinary stucco front, extensively with wood trim, Scale drawings were submitted by Mr. Barrows showing the area to be covered with Southern Yellow Pine, chemically treated and sandblasted. This is to be placed on top of existing masonry, Discussion was held whether this treatment to the front of the residence would be in harmony with other structures (Section 523). Mr, Rossi expressed concern that Southern Yellow Pine, chemicallytreated, would not hold up well and would not be harmonious. As Mr. Barrows is preparing to sell this residence, he advised he did not wish to put too much money into alterations. After further discussion, Mr. Rossi moved that we deny this request for alterations based on Section 523, the use of pressure treated Yellow Pine traditionally not being har- monious to exterior wood trim, The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. O'Connor passed the gavel to Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Rossi renewed his motion as stated. There was no action by the Board, renewed motion died. - 3 - March 10, 1983 Mr. Barrows requested advice from the Board relative to alternative which will be acceptable for harmony. Mr. Rossi stated rough sawn cedar, cypress or redwood would be acceptable alternates. Following discussion with the Board, Mr. Barrows agreed to substitute rough sawn cedar in lieu of the pressure treated yellow pine, the same elevation and specifications as submitted. Following review of the use of the material and there being no problems here, Mrs. Johnson moved for approval of request for alterations, with rough sawn cedar. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rossi and carried unanimously. This is to go to Council as provided in Art. VI. 5) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF ROOF BARNETT BANK, 9090 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD The existing two-story structure has asphalt shingle roof. Barnett requests variance to Section 225 to allow use of similar material on roof of the addition in order to harmonize with existing building and comply. with Sec. 523. According to our Ordinance a tile roof is required on the drive-thru carport. Mr. Edward M.Ghezzi, Architect for Barnett requests the .use of fibreglass shingles or asphalt shingles on the new structure. Following review of specifications, Mrs. Johnson moved we grant variance under Section 225, for approval of asphalt shingle roof to harmonize with existing asphalt shingle roof on existing building. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rossi and carried unanimously. 2) PUBLIC HEARING TO PERMIT BOATS OF NOT OVER 24 FEET IN LENGTH IN R, A AND 0 DISTRICTS Acting Chairman, Mr. O'Connor, noted that he did not favor holding a Hearing with only three Board members present. The floor was opened to the public to address the issue. In attendance at the Hearing was Mr. & Mrs. Helmut Tevini, 1248 N.E. 98th Street and Mr. Ira B. Sturdevant, 10666 N.E. 10th Place. Mr. Sturdevant advised he was present as an interested spectator. - 4 - March 10, 1983 Mr. Tevini, who has a 25' boat, noted he was not aware he was in violation of Section 501 until he received a notice from the building department. Since the discussion was whether we should permit 24' boats instead of 20' boats in R,A and 0 districts, Mr. Tevini was in violation in any case. Following discussion Mr. Rossi stated there was not sufficient public response to warrant a change in our Ordinance at the present time. Mr. Johnson agreed with this statement. Mrs. Johnson moved that we recommend the Ordinance remain as written, seconded by Mr. Rossi. Mr. O'Connor opposed the motion and the recommendation failed. No action was affected by the Board. Mr. O'Connor wished the record to reflect he felt the Ordinance Ohould be changed because the limitation is too restrictive.
