4) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL'OF EXTERIOR ELEVATION ALTERATIONS
JERRY BARROWS, 360 N.E. 105 STREET
This request was previously approved by the Board for use
of rough sawn cedar for exterior elevation alterations to
the front of the residence. Subsequently, Mr. Barrows
decided to use pecky cypress in lieu of rough sawn cedar.
Mr. O'Connor, who attended the Council meeting when this
case was presented, advised he was not in a position to speak
for the Board whether they would accept the alternative Mr.
Barrows suggested to Council in place of the material pre-
viously approved by the Planning Board. As the material
in question was not specifically what the Planning Board
approved, the case was returned by Council to the Board.
Mr. Barrows now wishes to utilize peckycypress 6, 8, 10
and 12 inches wide, 12 feet in length, 1 inch and some 1/2
inch boards. Previously, the pattern approved was continuous,
now it will be staggered randomly.
- 2 - March 24, 1983
Mr. Rossi expressed concern with respect to the community
on the appearance feature of this proposal. As the case
relates to the fascia of the residence, more than a verbal
request is required by the Board, and they could not pass
on this request without seeing a sketch of the elevation
and updated plans detailing the change of pattern.
Following a lengthy discussion, Mr. Barrows withdrew his
request for• the 1 x 6 peckycypress and agreed to revert
to the previously approved material, namely, rough sawn cedar.
This will go to Council.

requirements for carport enclosure and will provide.
two additional off --street parking areas.Plot plan was

kitchen will become a den and the proposed carport will
become the kitchen.
Discussion was held on the removal and capping -off the
plumbing in the existing kitchen; the construction of
the roof on the existing structure and the addition,
and the present utilization of the guest house.
As the applicant was not present to confer with the Board
and answer the questions posed, Mr. O'Connor moved that
we defer this case until the next meeting, seconded by
Mrs. Johnson, and carried unanimously.

Provincial Realty requests a variance to Section 504 (f) (2)
for approval of eight (8) "tow away" signs for parking.lot.
Ms. Anna Maria_Chavoustie, Vice President of Florida East
Coast Real. Estate,representative of Provincial Realty, noted
there are six actual entrances to the parking lot. A photo
of the sign was submitted to the Board as well as an actual
sign itself, Each sign on a parking lot shall be subject to
approval by the Planning Board (504 (f) (2) d. The proposed
signs exceed the 12 square feet required and do not identify
the lot.
- 3 - March 24, 1983
Ms. Chavoustie explained the parking problems existing
and noted that they cannot legally tow -away vehicles
unless they post signs.
Mr. Stobs advised Ms. Chavoustie, that he discussed with
the Building Director that he contact our Village Attorney
regarding the position of the Village with reference to
our Code and the legality of this situation. The Board
can see no provision for this and is of the opinion our
Ordinance prohibits what we are looking for .in this case.
The Chairman recommended that Provincial's attorney contact
the Village Attorney about this problem, and in turn Mr.
Fann convey his opinion to the Planning Board. Ms. Chavoustie
agreed to this recommendation and will so advise Provincial's
attorney.
The Board deferred this case until we hear from our attorney.
No action was necessary.
Following conclusion of the regular agenda, Mr. Stobs reviewed
all action that has taken place relative to Chickee Huts.
Receipt was acknowledged of memorandum from the Village Manager
as well as specifications for Chickee Huts as prepared by Mr.
LuBien.
The Planning Board is in agreement with the opinion expressed
by the Village Attorney that the addition of Chickee Huts will
jeopardize our overall Ordinance. Mr. Rossi stated that there
is not that much need to add specifications for Chickee Huts
to our Ordinance, as requests for Chickee Huts are so few from
our Village residents. The Board agreed with Mr. Rossi.
The Chairman stated he did not believe we should impair our Ordinance
because of two cases which were completed without Village permits;
he noted, what we have tow is our Masonry Ordinance, what we are
talking about on Chickee Huts is other than our Masonry Ordinance,
Mr. LuBien then discussed the Public Hearing on the Boat Ordinance
held March 10, 1983 and noted the turn -out was very poor. The Board
reiterated that public response did not warrant a change in our Ordinance.
Only two residents appeared at the Hearing although it was published in
the Village bulletin.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
