Historic District. Mr. & Mrs. William Stone,
Applicant/Owner.
This item was reviewed by the Board at its meeting of
May 18, 1994 . At that time the Board voted to
continue its review to a future meeting and directed
the applicant to address certain design concerns which
were in conflict with section 4 .5. 1(E) (7) (New
Construction in Historic Districts) .
The action requested of the Board is that of granting
approval for the revised plans (received June 10,
1994) associated with COA 8-227 to allow the
construction of a single family residence.
The Board moved to approve COA 8-227 for new
construction of a single family home based upon
positive findings with respect to Section 4 .5. 1(E) with
the following conditions:
1. That an additional window be provided on the west
elevation adjacent to the foyer. That an
additional window be provided on the east
elevation adjacent to the garage. That mullions
be added to the the second floor windows on the
front (north) elevation.

covered entry be carried over to the west
elevation so that the bonnet design replaces the
plain arch.
- 2 - 06/15/94
3. That the width of the garage doors be reduced
from 9 ' to 8 ' .
4 . That the width of the garage be reduced from 22 '
to 20 ' , which will allow the entry to be wider by
an additional 2 ' .
5. That the interior length of the garage be
increased to a minimum depth of 18 ' .
6 . That the cooking stove in the guest cottage be

approved by staff.
The Board gave the following direction regarding the
center window on the second floor of the front (north)
elevation:
* As this window is located in the bathroom shower,
its size may prove to be impractical. A typical
small sized shower window is inappropriate for
the center of the front elevation. If a
substitution is required it must be a decorative
window, such as a quatrefoil.
The applicant was asked if he agreed to the above
conditions and he replied in the affirmative.

ITEM BEFORE THE B O A R D :
The item before the Board is consideration of COA 8-#231, which
incorporates the following aspects of the development proposal
for Reed Landscape Design (353 N. Swinton Avenue) :
* Final Site Plan
* Landscape Plan
* Design Elements
The subject property is located at the southeast corner of N.E.
4th Street and N. Swinton Avenue.
BACKGROUND :
The subject property consists of Lots 13 and 14, Block 65, Town
of Delray. The property was developed with a single family
structure in 1948, with a detached garage added subsequently.
The site is located in OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts
District) zoning and is a non-contributing structure.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION :
The development proposal is the conversion of the existing
single family home into an office for a landscape architect.
The following improvements are proposed:
* Construction of a paved four space parking lot with
two spaces in the existing garage (six spaces total) ,
located at the northeast corner of the site.
* Construction of a four space parking area which
includes one handicap space in front of the structure
and three parallel spaces to the southeast of the
structure. The total number of proposed parking
spaces is 10;
* Construction of a handicap ramp at the front entrance
of the structure;
* Conversion of 387 square feet of the existing garage
structure into a storage area;
* Installation of associated landscaping.
SITE PLAN ANALYSIS:
REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3)
Pursuant to Section 3. 1. 1 (Required Findings) , prior to the
approval of development applications, certain findings must
HPB Staff Report
:i Reed Design Landscape - Final Site Plan
Page 2
be made in a form which is part of the official record.
This may be achieved through information on the
application, the Staff Report, or Minutes. Findings shall
be made by the body which has the authority to approve or
deny the development application. These findings relate to
the Future Land Use Map Compatibility; Concurrency;
Comprehensive Plan Consistency; and, Compliance with Local
Development Regulations (LDRs) .
1. Future Land Use Map: (The use or structures must be allowed
in the zone district and the zoning district must be consistent
with the land use designation) .
The subject property has a Future Land Use Map Designation of
Mixed Use and a zoning designation of OSSHAD (Old School Square
Historic Arts District) . Pursuant to Section 4 .4 .24 (B) ,
business and professional offices are permitted uses within the
OSSHAD zoning district. The OSSHAD zoning district is
consistent with the Mixed Use Future Land Use Designation.
Based Upon the above, a positive finding can be made.
2 . Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through,
the City shall be provided to new development concurrent with
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. These facilities shall
be provided pursuant to levels of service as established within
the Comprehensive Plan. For sewer and water, concurrency shall
mean that direct connection to a functioning municipal system is
made. For streets(traffic) , drainage, open space (parks) , and
solid waste concurrency shall be determined by the following:
* the improvement is in place prior to issuance of the
occupancy permit;
* the improvement is bonded, as part of the subdivision
improvements agreement or similar instrument, and there is
a schedule of completion in the bonding agreement;
* the improvement is part of a governmental capital
improvement budget; it has been designed; and a contract
for installation has been solicited.
Traffic:
This proposal includes the conversion of an existing single
family structure to office use and conversion of a portion of
the garage to a storage area for the office use. The current
single family use generates an estimated 10 ADT (Average Daily
Trips) . The proposed 2,791 square feet of office space will
generate an estimated 69 ADT. The City's Engineering Department
has determined that adequate capacity is available on N. Swinton
Avenue, Lake Ida Road, and NE 4th Street to accommodate new
traffic generated by this proposal.
HPB Staff Report
Reed Design Landscape - Final Site Plan tr
Page 3
Water:
Water service is currently provided by a 6" main in NE 4th
Street. Fire suppression is available from an existing fire
hydrant at the northeast corner of NE 4th Street and N. Swinton
Avenue. No main extensions will be necessary to serve this
development proposal.
Sewer:
Sewer service is currently provided by an 6" main in NE 4th
Street. No main extensions or upgrading will be necessary to
serve this development proposal.
Parks :
Park dedications do not apply to nonresidential developments .
Solid Waste:
Expected trash generation for a 2,791 square foot office
building is 280 pounds per week, as compared to 77 pounds per
week for a single family residence. The solid waste authority
has capacity to dispose of the increase of 203 pounds per week.
2. Consistency:
Pursuant to Section 3.3. 1 (Basis for Determining Consistency) ,
the performance standards set forth in Section 3.3. 3 (Standards
for Site Plan Actions) along with compliance to Section
2 .4 .5(F) (5) (General Compatibility and Harmony with Adjacent
Properties) shall be the basis upon which a finding of overall
consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found
in the adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in making of a
finding of overall consistency. The applicable performance
standards of Section 3.3.3 and other policies which apply are as
follows :
Section 3.3.3 Standards for Site Plan Actions:
Standards "D, " "E, " "F," and "G" do not apply to this proposal.
Applicable standards are discussed in the following paragraphs.
A) Building design, landscaping, and lighting shall be such
that they do not create unwarranted distractions or blockage of
visibility as it pertains to traffic circulation. (Traffic
Element C-1.2)
The buildings will remain in their existing configuration
which does not affect visibility as it pertains to traffic
circulation. The proposed fence and landscaping to the
front of the structure will affect visibility as it
pertains to traffic circulation. Modifications to the
landscape plan to maintain the required clear sight
HPB Staff Report
Reed Design Landscape - Final Site Plan
Page 4
triangle at the corner of N. Swinton Avenue and NE 4th
Street are Landscape Technical Items. No lighting is
proposed.
B) Appropriate separation of travelways is made for vehicles,
bicycles and pedestrians in a manner consistent with Objective
D-1 of the Traffic Element.
A sidewalk currently exists along N. Swinton Avenue. No
sidewalk is provided along NE 4th Street at this time. As
sidewalks will be constructed in conjunction with
improvements to 4th Street in fiscal year 93-94, the
applicant has requested a waiver of this requirement. The
City Engineer supports the waiver.
C) Open Space Enhancements
The Swinton Avenue landscape beautification improvements
have recently been completed adjacent to this site. The
applicant has proposed landscape improvements, including
elimination of several existing Melaleuca trees in the
front setback. These improvements should enhance the
scenic vista created along Swinton.
Section 2 .4 .5(F) (5) Site Plan Findings (Compatibility and
Harmony with Adjacent properties:
The conversion of this parcel to office use does not
require any building additions. The required parking will,
however, add vehicular use areas in close proximity to an
adjacent residential property.
The required 5 ' landscape buffer between vehicular use
areas and adjacent properties has not been provided for the
existing driveway at the south end of the property. A 1 '
wide landscaped area is existing in this location. The
applicant has requested a waiver to allow the 1' strip to
remain. All other required landscape buffers have been
provided.
Compatibility problems ware minimal, as the driveway will
be utilized by a small amount of traffic. Also, a hedge
will be added to provide as much of a buffer as can be
installed in the limited space available. Given the above,
staff supports the proposed reduction.
Compatibility concerns are noted regarding potential effects
of the development on property values of surrounding
properties. The OSSHAD district is intended to promote the
adaptive reuse of older residential structures as
commercial locations. The conversion of this site to
office use and the associated upgrades will help to
increase property values in the area by encouraging further
redevelopment in the area.

A review of the objectives and policies of the Comprehensive
Plan was made and no policies which apply to this project were
found.
4 . Compliance with Land Development Regulations :
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall
specifically be addressed by the body taking final action
on a land development application/request.
Setbacks:
The existing residential structure meets all required setbacks.
The garage is non-conforming, as it encroaches 5 ' into the
required 10 ' rear setback.
The applicant proposes to maintain the existing garage for use
as two of the required parking spaces and as storage area. As
the structure is non-conforming, repairs and maintenance of the
structure are limited to a maximum of 10% of its replacement
cost. The applicant has submitted documentation that proposed
improvements do not exceed the 10% limit.
Parking:
The proposed conversion will create a total of 2,791 square feet
of office and storage space. At the OSSHAD requirement of 1
space/300 square feet with an allowed reduction of 1 space, the
parking required for the site is 9 spaces, one of which must be
a handicap space. Per LDR Section 4 .6 .9(B) , a maximum of 30% of
required parking spaces may be compact. The applicant has
proposed a total of 10 spaces (6 standard, 3 compact, and 1
handicap) .
Parking space and driveway design requirements are generally met
by the proposal. However, several problems exist. The City
Engineer has expressed concerns regarding the adequacy of
maneuvering area for the handicap space. The applicant will be
required to satisfactorily address these concerns as well as all
Engineering Technical Items. These items may require some
redesign of the site. Site plan approval, if granted, will be
conditioned on addressing the Engineering Technical Items.
Location of Parking Spaces:
An additional problem related to parking is the location of the
proposed handicap space. Per LDR Section 4 .4 .24(G) (3) , parking
spaces shall not be located between any street and the closest
structure. The Board may waive this requirement during site
plan review, provided that compliance is not feasible and the
parking is screened from off-site view. The applicant has
proposed to place the handicap space and ramp to the front of
the structur:. In order to approve any parking spaces between
HPB Staff Report
+ Reed Design Landscape - Final Site Plan
Page 6
the structure and the streets, the Board must find that both of
these conditions are met.
The applicant has proposed the use of a 2 ' -8" picket fence with
four Coconut palms, a Cocoplum hedge, and Pentas and Coonties
ground covers as screening for the handicap space. To eliminate
conflicts with sight distance requirements, the fence and plant
materials at this location can have a maximum height of 3 ' .
Despite the height limitation, the fence and landscaping will
screen the ramp and space from view.
The second issue relating to the handicap space is the
feasibility of providing parking to the rear of the structure.
Sufficient parking to meet site requirements could be
constructed to the rear of the structure. The site has 106 '
feet of frontage on an improved alley to the rear of the
structure, allowing for the construction of 8 standard and 1
handicap back-out spaces. However, this scenario would require
the demolition of the garage and interior modifications to the
main structure. Additionally, a landscape waiver to permit a 4 '
landscape buffer at the south property line would be required.
The applicant has submitted a letter indicating his rationale why
providing all required parking and handicap access to the rear
of the structure is not feasible (copy attached) .
Based on the availability of sufficient area to provide all
required parking to the rear of the structure, staff recommends
that the Board Deny the proposed waiver of Section 4 .4 .24 (G) (3) .
Open Space:
Pursuant to Section 4 .3 .4(K) , 25% of non-vehicular open space is
required and 40.34% has been provided.
Engineering Technical Items:
1. Provide striping detail for standard and handicap
spaces.
2 . Define all hatched areas on engineering plans.
3. Verify NE 4th Street right-of-way line on Section A-A
and show a swale adjacent to the edge of pavement.
4. Revise Section C-C to be in conformance with Pavement
Joint Detail RT 7 . 1.
5 . Provide details indicating adequacy of maneuvering
area for the handicap space.
- 6 . Distinguish the proposed wood handicap ramp from paved
areas.
HPB Staff Report
Reed Design Landscape - Final Site Plan �.

LAND S CAP E PLAN ANALYSIS:
The applicant has submitted a landscape plan for the site.
Proposed trees include Coconut palms, Live Oaks, Paradise trees
and Mahogany. Hedge materials used are Cocoplum and Silver
Buttonwood. Dune Sunflower, Saw Palmetto, Pentas, Coontie,
Bougainvilla, and White Bird of Paradise are used as ground
covers and accent plants. The City Landscape Inspector has
reviewed the submitted plan and found the proposed plan to meet
all landscape requirements, except as described below.
Per Section 4 .6. 16(H) (3) (a) , a minimum 5 ' landscape buffer must
be provided between vehicular use areas of commercial sites and
adjacent properties. A 1' buffer is provided between the
parking lot and the residential property to the south of the
site. The applicant has requested a waiver of Section
4 .4 . 16(H) (3) (a) .
A Silver Buttonwood hedge is proposed for a portion of this
buffer and Pentas for the remainder. Pentas can not be counted
as hedge material. If the pentas are deleted and Silver
Buttonwood substituted for the length of the buffer, the intent
of the regulation can be considered to be met. Therefore a
waiver of this requirement can be supported.
Several outstanding landscape comments remain to be addressed
and are included as Landscape Technical Items. All other
landscaping requirements have been satisfactorily fulfilled.
Landscape Technical Items:
1. Add a note to the landscape plan that sod and
irrigation will be provided in the public
right-of-way.
2 . Hedges must be provided to the interior of the
required landscape islands to the east of parking
spaces 1 and 7 .
3. The cocoplum hedge to the north of the handicap ramp
must be extended to the west of the ramp and the
handicap space.
4. All hedges and ground covers in the front of the
handicap ramp and space must be maintained at a
maximum height of 3 ' to maintain adequate sight
distance for the intersection of Swinton Avenue and NE
4th Street.
5. Show location of any ground level A/C units or other
machinery and screening to be provided for these
areas.

DESIGN ELEMENTS ANALYSIS:
Handicap ramp:
Per LDR Section 4 .5. 1(E) (8) entrances and/or porch projections
shall be visually compatible with the prevalent architectural
styles of entrances and porch projections on structures within a
historic district. The proposed ramp is not visually
compatible with the prevalent architectural styles in the Old
School Square district. The ramp is, however, well screened
from view by landscaping.
Sign:
A 4 ' X 6 ' free standing sign is shown on the site plan. As no
details of the sign's appearance or text have been submitted, it
will not be a part of this approval. A separate COA will be
required for the sign, when a design is proposed.
REVIEW BY O T H E R S :
Downtown Development Authority:
The subject property is not in an area requiring review by the
DDA.
Community Redevelopment Agency:
The subject property is located within the City's Community
Redevelopment Area, thus requiring review of the development
proposal by the C.R.A. The proposal was discussed at the C.R.A.
meeting of May 12, 1994 meeting and the Board had no objections
to the proposal.
Homeowner' s Associations:
Special notice was provided to the Old School Square, Del-Ida
Park, and Dell Park Homeowner's Associations. Letters of
objection, if any, will be presented at the Historic
Preservation Board meeting.
ASSESSMENT :
Conversion of the existing family structure to office space is
consistent with the Future Land Use Map Designation and the
stated intent and purpose of the OSSHAD zoning district.
Concurrency requirements for all required facilities and
services are met by the proposal. The site generally meets the
requirements of the Land Development Regulations and waivers
have been requested for items which do not. Positive findings
can be made regarding Site Plan consistency requirements in LDR
Sections 3.3.3 and 2.4 .5(F) (5) .
HPB Staff Report
Reed Design Landscape - Final Site Plan
Page 9
The above findings notwithstanding, positive findings cannot be
made with regard to LDR Section 3 . 1 . 1(D) . The proposed handicap
space and ramp do not meet requirements of the OSSHAD zoning
district [4 .4 .24(G) (3) ] and Chapter 4 .5 . 1 of the LDRs .
ALTERNATIVE ACT I O N S :
1. Continue with direction and concurrence.
2 . Approve COA 8-231 and the associated site plan,

This letter is in response to the requirement for a sidewalk to be installed on the North
side of our property along Lake Ida Road (4th St.) We are requesting a waiver for this
sidewalk as Palm Beach County is planning to widen this road in 1995 and these plans
include installation of a sidewalk at that time.

RE: Final site plan for 353 N. Swinton per Reed Design Landscape Architects
This letter is in response to the requirement of a perimeter landscape buffer on the south side
of our property in order to approve the site plan. LDR Section 4.6.16.(H)(3)(d) requires a
landscape strip at least 5 feet in depth be located between the vehicular use area and
common lot line. Due to the existing structure location and the requiieuuent of 12 foot
travel lanes the site can not conform to this exigency.
We are therefore requesting a waiver of this requirement, but will install hedge with in the
area between the pavement and the existing fence of the adjacent property. Please contact
me or Vickie if further information is needed.
Sincerely,
Bruce Reed, R.L.A.

Re: 353 N. Swinton Site Plan
To The Historical Review Board:
The reason for the handicap space being placed in the front of the property is a matter of
accessibility. The measurements of doorways, narrow hallways,changes in elevation, and
turning space all make placement of the handicap space in the mar or side very difficult and
unsafe. Also the fact that the house is located on a corner lot makes the handicap ramp
visible from both the North and West entrances,
The rear door entrance facing east will be eliminated due to the need for a back-out space.
The North entrance only has a width of 32" and=quires an immediate turn to the right
through another doorway with a rise in floor elevation of 4". This makes for a very
awkward and unsafe entrance even with a ramp due to the quick turn required.
The South entrance has a narrow hallway that measures 7.2' long and 34" wide with an 18"
elevation rise from outside with another 4"elevation change at the end of the hallway. Also
placement of a ramp at this entrance would require elimination of another parking space.
We feel that the proposed handicap space and ramp is at the safest and most accessable
location as there is a 36" wide doorway with plenty of maneuverability room on entrance
with the large foyer area of 7.5'. There is also only one elevation change here and plenty of
room for a safe ramp. There will be a decorative white picket fence and coconut palms with
plenty of shrubbery to morn than sufficiently screen the area. Brick pavers will also accent
the space and sidewalk. We believe that this area will be more of an attractive accent than
an eyesore and is the best solution.
Sincerly,
/-te9&

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING
JUNE 15, 1994
AGENDA ITEM IV-B
COA 8-227
Lot 19, a vacant lot adjacent to the west property line of the
Stone residence, 102 N.E. 8th Street, Del-Ida Park Historic
District.
Mr. and Mrs. William Stone, Owners
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action requested of the Board is that of granting approval
of COA 8-227 to allow the new construction of a single family
residence.
BACKGROUND
At its meeting of May 18, 1994, the Board reviewed this
proposal and had concerns with respect to the following items :
* The townhouse appearance created by the fire walls on the
east and west elevations;
* The location of the massive garage doors across the front
facade; and,
* The inappropriate fenestration on the second floor of the
front facade.
The Board also stated that the applicant should attempt to
orient the garage doors to face the sides of the property and
not the front. In addition to the above, the May 18th Staff
Report (copy attached) identified a number of items which were
not consistent with the criteria for new construction. These
items included the proposed Spanish "S" tile roof rather than a
barrel tile and the aluminum frame windows rather than wood
frame windows. It was noted that if the kitchen was to be
retained within the guest cottage, the covered walkway would
need to be removed. Also, the staff report mentioned that a
text amendment is being processed which, if approved, would
require approval of variance in order to build a residence on
this lot.
In order for the applicant to consider more appropriate
solutions to address the incompatible design elements, the Board
continued the item. On June 8, 1994, revised plans were
submitted and are now before the Board for action.
IV.B.
Historic Preservation Board Staff Report
COA 8-227 - 102 N.E. 8th Street
Page 2
ANALYSIS
The revised elevations appear to address some of the concerns .
The townhouse appearance has been eliminated somewhat by the
removal of the fire walls on the east and west sides of the
building along with the provision of eaves which project one
foot from, the building. The applicant has stated that the glass
, garage doors will be provided with glass eyebrow windows .
Although this may lessen the massiveness of the doors, further
reduction is possible by providing 8 ft. wide doors rather than
9 ft. wide doors . Also, the massiveness of the garage itself
can be lessened by providing a 20 ft. wide garage rather than a
22 ft. wide garage. With respect to the fenestration on the
second floor, this item has been addressed by centrally locating
the middle window.
In addition to the above, decorative features have been provided
on the garage and sides of the building and the entry way.
Also, on the west side of the building an additional window has
been provided. In order to break-up the starkness of the west
facade, the Board may want to consider the installation of a
window on the first floor, perhaps at the foyer.
The revised plans show the aluminum windows, the Spanish "S"
tile roof and retention of the kitchen within the guest cottage
along with the covered walkway. As previously stated, either
the kitchen in the guest cottage be eliminated or the covered
walkway be removed. The plans must be revised accordingly.
With respect to the window frame and roof materials, it seems
these items were discussed at the meeting and the Board did not
object to the use of these materials .
OTHER ITEMS
Garage Depth
It is noted that the garage is only 16 .5 ft. in length. The
depth of the garage should be a minimum length of 18 ft. The
additional 1.5 ft. can be easily accommodated.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
1. Continue with direction and concurrence.
2 . Approve COA 8-227 as presented based upon positive findings
with Section 4 .5. 1(E) with conditions.
3. Deny COA 8-227 based upon a failure to make positive
findings with respect to Section 4 .5. 1(E) with basis
stated.
Historic Preservation Board Staff Report
COA 8-227 - 102 N.E . 8th Street
Page 3
RECOMMENDATION
Approve COA 8-227 based upon positive findings with respect to
Section 4 . 5 . 1 (E) with the following conditions :
1 . That an additional window be provided on the west elevation
adjacent to the foyer;
2 . That the design elements on the front of the covered entry
be carried over to the west side;
3 . That the width of the garage doors be reduced from 9 ft. to
8 ft. ;
4 . That the width of the garage be reduced from 22 ft . to 20
ft . ;
5 . That either the -tchen in the guest cottage be eliminated
or the covered walkway be removed;
6 . That the length of the garage be increased to a minimum
depth of 18 ft. ; and,
7 . That if a variance from Section 4 . 3 . 4 (K) (Minimum Lot Size)
is required, it must be approved by the Historic
Preservation Board prior to issuance of a building permit.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING
MAY 18, 1994
AGENDA ITEM IV-H
COA 8-227
Lot 19, a vacant lot adjacent to the west property line of the
Stone residence, 102 N.E. 8th Street, Del-Ida Park Historic
District.
Mr and Mrs William Stone, Owners.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The action requested of the Board is that of granting approval
of COA 8-227 to allow the new construction of a single family
home.
BACKGROUND
• This residence is proposed for Lot 19 which is a vacant lot to •
the north of the Stone residence, 102 N.E. 8th Street. The lot
is 50 ° x 120' with a total of 6,000 s.f. It is located in the
R-1-AA zoning district which requires a minimum lot size of
9,500 s.f. The lot is currently a lot of record which means that
it was platted before these development requirements were
adopted and is therefor a buildable lot. However, new
construction can not occur on lots of record which are adjacent
and are under common ownership until the text amendment to
Section 4 . 1.4, which is described in the attached memorandum, is
approved or denied. If the amendment is approved this lot will
require a variance from Section 4 . 3 .4(K) Development Standards,
with respect to minimum lot size before building permits can be
issued.
ANALYSIS
This is a single family two story residence with a guest
cottage in the rear. It will have a stucco finish, Spanish "S"
tile roof, white aluminum windows, wood entry doors and wood
garage doors.
With the exception of the garage location, the spacing and use
of aluminum for the windows on the front facade, and the "S"
tiles for the roofing material, it is generally consistent with
the criteria for new construction.
The Building Department Plan Reviewer has determined that the
guest cottage cannot be attached to the main house as it must be
C an accessory structure. If the guest cottage is to retain its
complete kitchen, the applicant will need to remove the
connecting roof between the two buildings . However a canvas
awning may be installed to give protection from the weather.
•
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
1 . .Continue with direction.
2 . Approve COA 8-226 as presented based on positive findings
to Section 4 .5 . 1(E) with the following conditions :
-A.That the connecting roof between the guest cottage and
the main house be removed, and
B. If a variance from Section 4 . 3 .4 (K) is required it
must be approved by the Historic Preservation Board
before building permits are issued.
3. :Approve COA 8-226 based on positive findings
to Section 4 .5. 1(E) with the following conditions:
A. That the front windows be spaced evenly and be of wood
rather than the proposed aluminum.
B. That barrel tile rather than the proposed "S" tile be
used.
C.. -That the connecting roof between the guest cottage and
.the main house be removed, and
` -I D. If a variance from Section 4 . 3.4(K) is required it
must be approved by the Historic Preservation Board
before building permits are issued.
4.. 'Deny COA 8-226 based on a failure to make positive
findings to Section 4 .5. 1(E) with the reasons stated.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
