REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF APPEAL TO BUILDING OFFICIAL'S DENIAL
OF PAINT COLOR FOR ROOF.
Rosetta Betty 9105 N. Bayshore Drive
Mr. Camayd explained that the Building Official, Frank LuBien, deemed the color of the roof to be
inappropriate. It was his belief that the original color of the tile roof was white based on the style of
the tile. Ms. Betty was present on her own behalf stating that the color of the roof was a peach
whisper. Due to the condition of the roof at the time it was painted, the color undeterminable.
The Board explained the Code requirement of through color tile. Mr. Blum expressed his concern
of matching the paint color should the roof need to be repaired in the future. Mr. I. Hegedus moved

Ms. Hegedus -Garcia noted that the process would not be as simple as standardizing colors; rather
it would be a suggestion of color schemes. She proposed a color study be done of the area to
establish a spectrum of colors. Should anyone want a color scheme not pre -approved the applicant
would need to come before the Board.
Mr. Sarafan suggested that the Board consider the criteria to pursue when choosing a color scheme
as the Code is ambiguous regarding harmony. Ms. Hegedus -Garcia noted that there is a contact at
the University of Miami who does urban planning with particular attention to color schematics. Such
a study may benefit the Village in regards to future reference.
It was the consensus of the Board to have Ms. Hegedus -Garcia and Mr. Camacho to begin a color
study and to then make the appropriate recommendations to the Board based on their expertise and
knowledge. A progress report is requested at the next Board meeting.
ITEM #6 ADJOURNMENT
Ms. Rosetta Betty returned with a roof tile for the Board to determine its' color. It was determined
that the tile was a cement tile - gray in color which would require a paint. Based on the new evidence
presented, Mr. I. Hegedus moved that Item #1 be reconsidered at the next meeting. Mr. F. Hegedus
seconded the motion which passed unanimously. It was suggested that Ms. Betty present the tile to
Mr. LuBien for his consideration before the next meeting to determine if an appeal is still necessary.
The July 18, 1998 meeting of the Planning & Zoning Board was adjourned at 8:50 P.M.
