conditions. 42 00:06:56,504 --> 00:07:01,304 It follows the village code and planning ordinance. 43 00:07:24,744 --> 00:07:28,299 Brett Loman: This project was originally approved back in 2023 44 00:07:28,299 --> 00:07:31,899 and awaiting construction for several years. 45 00:07:32,256 --> 00:07:35,317 The owner and design team have seen opportunities 46 00:07:35,317 --> 00:07:39,424 for design improvements to the overall site plan as well as 47 00:07:39,424 --> 00:07:41,424 architectural features. 48 00:07:41,584 --> 00:07:45,344 What's been presented today is the overall site plan, 49 00:07:45,344 --> 00:07:51,944 which I can present just briefly in a series of renderings. 50 00:07:51,983 --> 00:07:55,768 Initially we had a series of external renderings going around 51 00:07:55,768 --> 00:08:00,490 the perimeter of the property, I supplied those and also provided 52 00:08:00,490 --> 00:08:03,864 updated renderings so we can see those previously approved versus 53 00:08:03,864 --> 00:08:06,864 what's being proposed right now . 54 00:08:08,164 --> 00:08:10,504 On the overall site plan, just a few things 55 00:08:10,504 --> 00:08:12,624 that are being updated. 56 00:08:12,624 --> 00:08:15,624 Starting in the Northwest corner, 57 00:08:16,810 --> 00:08:21,264 originally that was more of a site circulation space and what 58 00:08:21,264 --> 00:08:27,264 we've done here is to provide a flat grass area . 59 00:08:28,110 --> 00:08:31,944 As we work around the perimeter of the property, 60 00:08:31,944 --> 00:08:37,344 we've been identifying corridors for trees, larger specimen trees 61 00:08:38,144 --> 00:08:42,840 and renderings, we've got the before and after shots 62 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,484 for the landscaping scheme. 63 00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:49,940 as we work our way around the site, 64 00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:52,344 there's an outdoor barbecue area which originally 65 00:08:52,344 --> 00:08:54,424 was part of the garden before. 66 00:08:54,424 --> 00:08:56,650 We are presenting an outdoor patio which you will 67 00:08:56,650 --> 00:08:59,650 see in the exterior renderings. 68 00:08:59,859 --> 00:09:03,400 The site circulation towards the Northeast corner 69 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,424 of the property, which is the lower plan right 70 00:09:06,424 --> 00:09:09,424 is being reconfigured to be more efficient 71 00:09:09,424 --> 00:09:14,824 as well as for staff parking, exterior work services, 72 00:09:14,884 --> 00:09:19,344 it's all going to be sheltered by hedging and landscaping 73 00:09:19,344 --> 00:09:21,344 from the street. 74 00:09:23,184 --> 00:09:26,144 this area highlights the overall main floor level plan 75 00:09:26,144 --> 00:09:27,704 and there's three features I want 76 00:09:27,704 --> 00:09:30,624 to identify that are being updated from the previously 77 00:09:30,624 --> 00:09:32,624 approved project. 78 00:09:33,504 --> 00:09:36,700 The first one starting at the upper right originally 79 00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:40,300 we had an exterior stair tower. 80 00:09:40,948 --> 00:09:43,184 Since this project has gone underway, 81 00:09:43,184 --> 00:09:47,184 we realized the better function for this massing which 82 00:09:47,184 --> 00:09:50,524 remains consistent from the previously approved blueprint 83 00:09:50,524 --> 00:09:53,804 was a storage condition as opposed 84 00:09:53,804 --> 00:09:56,858 to an exterior stairway which is not needed. 85 00:09:56,858 --> 00:10:00,744 The next is the entry vestibule, originally 86 00:10:00,744 --> 00:10:03,360 the glass ran all the way across but we decided 87 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,169 to create more of an experiential quality 88 00:10:06,169 --> 00:10:12,769 vestibule itself which you will see in some of the renderings. 89 00:10:50,944 --> 00:10:54,250 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: There is no visual aid 90 00:10:54,250 --> 00:10:58,564 to understand what is really being changed, which puts us 91 00:10:58,564 --> 00:10:59,724 in a difficult position. 92 00:10:59,724 --> 00:11:02,124 Are you attorney, architect? 93 00:11:05,784 --> 00:11:10,584 You understand now how we approve this thing 94 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,600 three years ago. 95 00:11:15,144 --> 00:11:17,480 Brett Loman: When this was first submitted, 96 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,680 it was asked to remove the clouds. 97 00:11:50,784 --> 00:11:56,540 The last on this plan is this footprint here, 98 00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:59,320 originally it was proposed as covered parking 99 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:05,632 and now we are enclosing this space as an enclosed garage. 100 00:12:31,104 --> 00:12:35,307 Directly above is this two bedrooms and a common living 101 00:12:35,307 --> 00:12:35,807 space. 102 00:12:35,807 --> 00:12:40,629 One of the changes that we made as a bump out here, 103 00:12:40,629 --> 00:12:44,184 I could have shown what it looked like before versus what 104 00:12:44,184 --> 00:12:46,984 it looks like now, but the living room and bedroom 105 00:12:46,984 --> 00:12:49,792 to the right of it had gone straight across 106 00:12:49,792 --> 00:12:55,792 and now it's being bumped out to increase that area. 107 00:13:20,784 --> 00:13:23,208 on the upper level the only other changes 108 00:13:23,208 --> 00:13:29,800 is directly what I explained to the ground floor plan. 109 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,800 Entry on the ground floor remains 110 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,744 under the previously approved roof canopy, 111 00:13:34,744 --> 00:13:39,760 but it is a proper bump out to create that entry vestibule. 112 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,724 The last change on this plan is the storage tower, 113 00:13:43,724 --> 00:13:49,724 which originally was the upper portion so it's been converted 114 00:13:49,984 --> 00:13:53,629 into a storage within the existing footprint that 115 00:13:53,629 --> 00:13:56,237 was previously approved, it's just 116 00:13:56,237 --> 00:14:00,437 a change of function within this footprint. 117 00:14:28,885 --> 00:14:33,850 Brett Schlacter, Board Member: Nothing to disclose. 118 00:14:33,577 --> 00:14:36,744 Brett Loman: What's been shown on these next slides 119 00:14:36,744 --> 00:14:41,174 is the originally approved rendering versus the proposed 120 00:14:41,174 --> 00:14:44,978 rendering which is directly below, and what we need to do 121 00:14:44,978 --> 00:14:46,664 is take nearly the exact same shot 122 00:14:46,664 --> 00:14:48,904 so you can understand what was previously 123 00:14:48,904 --> 00:14:52,972 approved versus what is being proposed at this point. 124 00:14:52,972 --> 00:14:55,972 Some of my comprehensive comments 125 00:14:56,304 --> 00:14:59,877 on what was being proposed, what this is showing 126 00:14:59,877 --> 00:15:03,494 is that the elevation from the cul de sac 127 00:15:03,494 --> 00:15:09,224 remains nearly identical to the original proposed, so there were 128 00:15:09,224 --> 00:15:12,208 some functions occurring on the left hand side with the staff 129 00:15:12,208 --> 00:15:17,800 parking site circulation, but those remain behind landscaping. 130 00:15:18,534 --> 00:15:22,336 The architectural landscaping itself in this view 131 00:15:22,336 --> 00:15:23,384 remains consistent. 132 00:15:23,384 --> 00:15:30,416 Some of the areas I described are further on down the slides. 133 00:15:30,416 --> 00:15:34,392 Just to reiterate what was previously approved, 134 00:15:34,392 --> 00:15:38,440 we had the overall landscape hedging on the left hand 135 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,157 side coming towards the main entry 136 00:15:40,157 --> 00:15:43,548 to the house which remains consistent with the original, 137 00:15:43,548 --> 00:15:47,284 and on the right hand side we have this water feature element 138 00:15:47,284 --> 00:15:49,921 that wraps around toward the right hand side 139 00:15:49,921 --> 00:15:54,317 and I will get into that on a later slide 140 00:15:54,317 --> 00:15:58,517 but this elevation remains consistent with what 141 00:16:00,694 --> 00:16:02,694 was approved. 142 00:16:08,904 --> 00:16:13,956 This rendering is meant to show the program change 143 00:16:13,956 --> 00:16:17,864 within the footprint, here the original proposed rendering 144 00:16:17,864 --> 00:16:20,434 which was approved was consistent 145 00:16:20,434 --> 00:16:22,416 with the adjacent glass elevations 146 00:16:22,416 --> 00:16:25,944 and in the proposed rendering we are bumping out the entry 147 00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:29,904 vestibule to provide a proper entry and more 148 00:16:29,904 --> 00:16:34,104 of an experiential quality to this project. 149 00:17:02,184 --> 00:17:07,584 This view up top the original rendering was approved 150 00:17:09,879 --> 00:17:13,479 with some adjustments to the landscape, 151 00:17:13,954 --> 00:17:17,554 but the overall massing remains consistent. 152 00:17:18,144 --> 00:17:21,804 You will see it's very subtle, but the bump out to that portion 153 00:17:21,804 --> 00:17:24,204 directly above the garage . 154 00:17:35,664 --> 00:17:40,750 Right here was a covered carport, and on this side 155 00:17:40,750 --> 00:17:44,384 you will see the garage door so it's a pass through garage 156 00:17:44,384 --> 00:17:47,984 with a door on both sides. 157 00:17:48,292 --> 00:17:56,920 The main entry on the garage is on the other side of that . 158 00:17:58,149 --> 00:18:02,824 This view here, again these are renderings wrapping around 159 00:18:02,824 --> 00:18:06,240 the house from originally proposed so we took the same 160 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,232 shots in our attempting to show the adjustment within this 161 00:18:10,232 --> 00:18:15,632 rendering, this is where the proposed barbecue area was . 162 00:18:18,410 --> 00:18:20,170 As we wrap around the house, this view 163 00:18:20,170 --> 00:18:23,924 is meant to showcase the adjustment to the trees. 164 00:18:23,924 --> 00:18:26,112 On the originally approved rendering 165 00:18:26,112 --> 00:18:29,152 there's a series on the west or intercoastal 166 00:18:29,152 --> 00:18:31,210 face of the sea wall. 167 00:18:31,210 --> 00:18:34,370 As this project has come into realization, 168 00:18:34,370 --> 00:18:39,384 this views towards the water are better without the palms 169 00:18:39,384 --> 00:18:42,760 and the landscape architect has adjusted the overall landscaping 170 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,352 plan as well as provided a bit more privacy and shade 171 00:18:47,352 --> 00:18:51,552 to the southern elevation of the project. 172 00:18:55,224 --> 00:18:59,792 This view is showing the change from the approved rendering 173 00:18:59,792 --> 00:19:04,974 which was a garden space to a flat grass relaxation and play 174 00:19:04,974 --> 00:19:06,584 area. 175 00:19:06,584 --> 00:19:08,784 Again, the architecture here remains 176 00:19:08,784 --> 00:19:10,704 consistent with the original and is 177 00:19:10,704 --> 00:19:14,304 more of landscaping adjustments as you 178 00:19:14,624 --> 00:19:18,464 go from the north down to the south and around to the Marina. 179 00:19:18,464 --> 00:19:22,314 There was a question about the change to the elevation. 180 00:19:22,314 --> 00:19:26,304 The original stair tower here that was open 181 00:19:26,304 --> 00:19:29,404 screened, since this is being closed, 182 00:19:29,404 --> 00:19:33,877 it is now stone that comes down and very 183 00:19:33,877 --> 00:19:38,734 close to the window that breaks down the side elevation of that. 184 00:19:38,734 --> 00:19:45,934 I would also like to point out the scale from the street, 185 00:19:46,384 --> 00:19:51,208 you see originally it extended closer to the side yard property 186 00:19:51,208 --> 00:19:56,204 line and since then we have extended it a little bit less, 187 00:19:56,204 --> 00:20:01,324 provided landscaping to work to the advantage of masking that 188 00:20:01,324 --> 00:20:03,324 stair tower . 189 00:20:06,190 --> 00:20:08,608 Lastly, when this was being reviewed 190 00:20:08,608 --> 00:20:13,640 with part of these changes, we added this additional rendering 191 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,144 to showcase the overall elevation 192 00:20:15,144 --> 00:20:17,310 from the cul de sac a little bit closer, 193 00:20:17,310 --> 00:20:20,197 so you could see that mass on the right hand side 194 00:20:20,197 --> 00:20:25,597 and how it's working to be screened through landscaping. 195 00:20:29,904 --> 00:20:31,904 Thank you. 196 00:20:48,624 --> 00:20:51,240 Board comments and questions? 197 00:20:55,783 --> 00:20:58,437 Speaker: My questions are focused on the stair tower 198 00:20:58,437 --> 00:21:02,720 in the guest parking area or staff parking area, 199 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,964 we don't have the before to understand what is happening 200 00:21:05,964 --> 00:21:08,964 in the staff parking area . 201 00:21:14,330 --> 00:21:19,352 In that Northeast corner, can you describe the changes, 202 00:21:19,352 --> 00:21:23,400 and help me understand how you are blocking the views 203 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,440 from the Marina Basin? 204 00:21:27,964 --> 00:21:30,864 I see you have a four foot fence called out in minimal 205 00:21:30,864 --> 00:21:32,864 landscaping there . 206 00:21:37,901 --> 00:21:40,744 Brett Loman: In the previously approved plan, 207 00:21:40,744 --> 00:21:44,376 the entrance was at this location so it was not changed, 208 00:21:44,376 --> 00:21:47,314 and the hedging on the street side remains consistent 209 00:21:47,314 --> 00:21:52,444 so there's going to be a hedge that runs around on the Marina 210 00:21:52,444 --> 00:21:57,664 side, we are using a fence which the code can only 211 00:21:57,664 --> 00:22:02,404 be four feet tall but we are using the fence to impose 212 00:22:02,404 --> 00:22:04,600 that staff parking area there. 213 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,757 As you work your way to the left or to plan south, 214 00:22:08,757 --> 00:22:10,912 that's where the landscaping starts 215 00:22:10,912 --> 00:22:15,740 to pick up and start to screen those site service areas. 216 00:22:15,740 --> 00:22:17,904 Before, the area was more of a garden, 217 00:22:17,904 --> 00:22:19,800 and as the project is coming to realization 218 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,944 we realized we needed a bit more room for enclosures and things 219 00:22:23,944 --> 00:22:24,724 like that. 220 00:22:24,724 --> 00:22:28,484 Everything is enclosed with a fence, and where we can 221 00:22:28,484 --> 00:22:30,496 we are putting an additional layer 222 00:22:30,496 --> 00:22:33,244 of landscaping per the guidelines 223 00:22:33,244 --> 00:22:37,444 to shelter this area from public view. 224 00:22:43,332 --> 00:22:46,184 Speaker: I think that's going to be an area of concern 225 00:22:46,184 --> 00:22:50,984 because that is visible from the public basin. 226 00:22:52,782 --> 00:22:57,797 South, you have a lot more landscape but I think that area 227 00:22:57,797 --> 00:23:04,397 it looks like you would lose two of these parking spaces . 228 00:23:08,190 --> 00:23:13,680 I just think more hedging, you can't get more than four feet 229 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:14,917 with the structure but I think it's 230 00:23:14,917 --> 00:23:16,464 going to look nicer because that's 231 00:23:16,464 --> 00:23:18,224 where they're going to be sitting 232 00:23:18,224 --> 00:23:21,824 entertaining with their boats, I think 233 00:23:23,126 --> 00:23:29,726 it would be a nicer experience for the community as well. 234 00:23:36,910 --> 00:23:43,241 Speaker: The tower, it is very large and I'm pretty sure it was 235 00:23:43,241 --> 00:23:48,641 me that brought up the concern with the mass . 236 00:23:48,888 --> 00:23:53,404 I'm probably going to recommend you lose one of these date palms 237 00:23:53,404 --> 00:23:58,237 and add a larger tree in the right of way there to create 238 00:23:58,237 --> 00:24:01,237 a larger landscape visual barrier, 239 00:24:02,664 --> 00:24:04,754 because it's a massive structure, 240 00:24:04,754 --> 00:24:07,754 35ft tall blank concrete facade. 241 00:24:09,584 --> 00:24:16,184 It's obscured by a tree that doesn't exist in the plan . 242 00:24:24,791 --> 00:24:29,744 This is the view here, if you look here you have a 35 foot 243 00:24:29,744 --> 00:24:34,544 tall concrete wall from the cul de sac . 244 00:24:39,324 --> 00:24:42,378 If you lose the northernmost one on that, 245 00:24:42,378 --> 00:24:46,474 I think you'd be able to screen it better with without losing 246 00:24:46,474 --> 00:24:51,874 the formality of that large colonnade of palm trees . 247 00:24:54,290 --> 00:24:58,229 That would be my request and recommendation . 248 00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker: I think the trees as shown now really 249 00:25:13,199 --> 00:25:19,547 start to soften it, I guess it's not a bad idea. 250 00:25:19,547 --> 00:25:21,947 these are simple things. 251 00:25:27,264 --> 00:25:33,264 Brett Loman: You're suggesting for more of a specimen tree? 252 00:25:43,104 --> 00:25:47,304 I think the attempt with this landscaping 253 00:25:47,570 --> 00:25:51,176 was to try to hide some of this massing, 254 00:25:51,176 --> 00:25:54,784 because that was a concern when we originally presented. 255 00:25:54,784 --> 00:25:58,352 I agree with your comments to provide something 256 00:25:58,352 --> 00:26:04,952 different to try to take away that massing from the street. 257 00:26:20,506 --> 00:26:24,144 Speaker: Overall, the before and after is represented 258 00:26:24,144 --> 00:26:30,144 a very harmonious transformation we liked and we approved, it's 259 00:26:31,204 --> 00:26:33,204 a beautiful house. 260 00:26:33,679 --> 00:26:37,770 I personally don't see any significant issues, 261 00:26:37,770 --> 00:26:39,704 there's some layering of landscape 262 00:26:39,704 --> 00:26:44,984 that architects sometimes push back on but architects love it 263 00:26:44,984 --> 00:26:49,604 because it does soften a very sort of monumental architecture, 264 00:26:49,604 --> 00:26:51,604 in this case. 265 00:26:53,664 --> 00:26:56,374 Those are simple things, I don't know 266 00:26:56,374 --> 00:26:57,964 if you want to make that a condition 267 00:26:57,964 --> 00:27:02,164 or a friendly suggestion, the landscape layering. 268 00:27:11,304 --> 00:27:17,304 I want to point out I'm busy in the neighborhood 269 00:27:17,504 --> 00:27:19,754 and I'm doing a house across from this one, 270 00:27:19,754 --> 00:27:23,408 there's a lot of parking already that's Marina parking. 271 00:27:23,408 --> 00:27:27,608 I'm not saying it's beautiful or attractive, 272 00:27:27,624 --> 00:27:32,650 there are parking lots you see from around the boat 273 00:27:32,650 --> 00:27:36,984 but I think layering landscape in front of that would really 274 00:27:36,984 --> 00:27:42,616 help get the cars to appear more from the perspective 275 00:27:42,616 --> 00:27:44,604 of the Marina. 276 00:27:44,604 --> 00:27:48,804 The four foot fence kind of meaningless, 277 00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:53,304 it would have been nice to see a design for that fence 278 00:27:53,304 --> 00:27:55,344 but I assume it's similar to fencing 279 00:27:55,344 --> 00:27:58,728 that we see in the renderings. 280 00:27:58,728 --> 00:28:02,928 They are probably like 50% or more opacity, 281 00:28:03,224 --> 00:28:06,624 so there's already an intent to create 282 00:28:06,624 --> 00:28:09,240 privacy and visual separation. 283 00:28:15,744 --> 00:28:20,544 so we will put that into our condition. 284 00:28:22,624 --> 00:28:25,624 We do have public comments. 285 00:28:30,797 --> 00:28:34,397 these comments come from a neighbor, 286 00:28:36,746 --> 00:28:40,930 She states you could compare or see 287 00:28:40,930 --> 00:28:44,604 an overlay of what was approved and what was proposed. 288 00:28:44,604 --> 00:28:48,204 I think she agreed with me. 289 00:28:50,344 --> 00:28:55,144 Building taller from the entrance to the East, 290 00:28:55,536 --> 00:28:57,808 the north feels like we are getting 291 00:28:57,808 --> 00:29:02,584 blocked in by another wall restricting air movement. 292 00:29:02,584 --> 00:29:05,324 The color scheme seems to have darkened a bit, 293 00:29:05,324 --> 00:29:08,900 is there an intention of changing the color scheme 294 00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:11,690 or is this a rendering effect? 295 00:29:13,704 --> 00:29:15,714 Brett Loman: I think this is renderings 296 00:29:15,714 --> 00:29:18,680 and how they've changed over the last few years, 297 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,680 especially with AI. 298 00:29:21,728 --> 00:29:25,480 The tree is obviously show a little bit darker 299 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,604 in this update, the color scheme remains consistent, 300 00:29:29,604 --> 00:29:32,400 it's just a rendering. 301 00:29:47,339 --> 00:29:50,344 Speaker: The house seems to be getting even bigger than it 302 00:29:50,344 --> 00:29:52,344 was, it's enormous. 303 00:29:52,654 --> 00:29:58,288 My perception is there really no major volumetric change turning 304 00:29:58,288 --> 00:30:04,888 a carport into a garage , but it doesn't change the massing. 305 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,480 I like the addition of more green space . 306 00:30:13,437 --> 00:30:16,696 Those are six comments from a neighbor, 307 00:30:16,696 --> 00:30:22,696 you could receive these forms from the city I suppose . 308 00:30:25,180 --> 00:30:29,218 Should we have a motion on this? 309 00:30:35,112 --> 00:30:37,154 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: Any other public comments 310 00:30:37,154 --> 00:30:39,154 at this point? 311 00:30:39,820 --> 00:30:44,200 we are good for moving this forward. 312 00:30:46,437 --> 00:30:48,728 Speaker: I motion to approve with the condition 313 00:30:48,728 --> 00:30:52,328 we amend the Northwestern storage tower 314 00:30:55,664 --> 00:31:00,464 and increase the landscape screening on that side. 315 00:31:00,976 --> 00:31:03,976 Those are conditions, not recommendations. 316 00:31:07,686 --> 00:31:09,610 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: Everybody 317 00:31:09,610 --> 00:31:10,608 agree with those conditions? 318 00:31:10,608 --> 00:31:13,608 So we move it Forward. 319 00:31:16,637 --> 00:31:22,370 All those in favor of moving the project forward 320 00:31:22,284 --> 00:31:25,284 with those conditions say aye? 321 00:31:28,236 --> 00:31:32,724 Four votes out of four members today, thank you. 322 00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:36,324 How much more time for completion? 323 00:31:38,546 --> 00:31:40,546 another year? 324 00:31:41,804 --> 00:31:43,804 very well. 325 00:31:54,984 --> 00:31:59,184 Is the next group ready to go? 326 00:32:00,215 --> 00:32:03,215 identify yourself for the record. 327 00:32:12,100 --> 00:32:16,810 Speaker: We are here to represent my client, 328 00:32:19,321 --> 00:32:25,856 as well as his, for a new two story home that is about 329 00:32:25,856 --> 00:32:26,568 13,000ft². 330 00:32:26,568 --> 00:32:31,550 I'm sure you guys have looked at the plans that we submitted, 331 00:32:31,550 --> 00:32:34,844 and there's a lot of renderings that depict different types 332 00:32:34,844 --> 00:32:36,844 of materials . 333 00:32:39,697 --> 00:32:42,864 The outside finishes and the overall design, 334 00:32:42,864 --> 00:32:44,944 it's a beautiful concept. 335 00:32:44,944 --> 00:32:48,864 We are trying to get everything that the board has requested 336 00:32:48,864 --> 00:32:54,264 implementing it, we request if possible for your approval. 337 00:32:56,504 --> 00:33:02,136 That being said, I have my lead designer who is very familiar 338 00:33:02,136 --> 00:33:06,672 with the project and I want to bring him to the podium 339 00:33:06,672 --> 00:33:12,720 and explain more about the concept for the design . 340 00:33:21,109 --> 00:33:25,309 Speaker: For the record before I start, 341 00:33:26,464 --> 00:33:30,400 full disclosure I am friends with the foxes 342 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,804 and have seen the plans in the past. 343 00:33:43,748 --> 00:33:47,348 Speaker: Thank you for having us. 344 00:34:01,639 --> 00:34:04,970 Martin Litman: I guess I'll start with some of the exterior 345 00:34:04,970 --> 00:34:09,840 images so that we can explain what the design process and how 346 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:15,240 the creative process started , this is the perfect page 347 00:34:16,966 --> 00:34:18,792 to start with. 348 00:34:18,792 --> 00:34:22,560 The top renderings are street views 349 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,240 and the bottom two renderings are courtyard views. 350 00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:28,260 The whole concept behind how we started the massing 351 00:34:28,260 --> 00:34:32,744 of the design really stemmed from the existing house that is 352 00:34:32,744 --> 00:34:34,744 there today . 353 00:34:39,843 --> 00:34:41,551 I have a picture that I brought here just 354 00:34:41,551 --> 00:34:44,884 to give a little reference, this is the existing home 355 00:34:44,884 --> 00:34:46,960 that's here today. 356 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,296 The owner really liked that layout, 357 00:34:49,296 --> 00:34:53,264 and that idea about having two one story structures towards 358 00:34:53,264 --> 00:34:59,784 the street view , so they wanted to maintain that idea even 359 00:34:59,784 --> 00:35:02,328 though this is esthetically completely different. 360 00:35:02,328 --> 00:35:05,264 Really that is what started the design 361 00:35:05,264 --> 00:35:09,364 to try to adhere with the client's request of having 362 00:35:09,364 --> 00:35:12,912 these structures be the screening towards the street 363 00:35:12,912 --> 00:35:17,588 to create privacy, and as you continue to the courtyard, 364 00:35:17,588 --> 00:35:21,152 these one story structures create a connection 365 00:35:21,152 --> 00:35:24,688 to the two story structure of the residence 366 00:35:24,688 --> 00:35:30,880 as it continues towards the west through these architectural 367 00:35:30,384 --> 00:35:35,960 elements here, which are two beams that connect the one story 368 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,389 structures to later the rest of the home towards the west. 369 00:35:38,389 --> 00:35:43,434 The idea is to have a very private courtyard, 370 00:35:43,434 --> 00:35:47,940 and not only are these two one story structures very important 371 00:35:47,940 --> 00:35:51,400 functional part of the program, but like I was saying, 372 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,880 it really creates that beautiful private area in front. 373 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,888 As we continue moving towards the next page, 374 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,432 we really don't discuss on the interior but we decided 375 00:36:05,432 --> 00:36:10,300 to include some images so you can see in general and explain 376 00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:13,880 the cohesion between the interior and exterior 377 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,488 of materials can really be seen throughout the project . 378 00:36:21,373 --> 00:36:25,464 we designed the interiors, but we have an interior designer 379 00:36:25,464 --> 00:36:29,990 that's going to be sourcing and taking care of all the shop 380 00:36:29,990 --> 00:36:30,849 drawings, et-cetera. 381 00:36:30,849 --> 00:36:33,164 We have designed the house entirely, 382 00:36:33,164 --> 00:36:37,800 even though the exterior is here we wanted to really show 383 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:43,314 the interior to have a sense of the overall project 384 00:36:43,314 --> 00:36:46,914 because the materials on the exterior, 385 00:36:47,964 --> 00:36:51,200 really there's three main materials being used. 386 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:58,400 On the board below, you can see all of the wood accents , 387 00:37:00,514 --> 00:37:02,144 there's various features. 388 00:37:02,144 --> 00:37:07,144 You have vertical slats that can be seen here 389 00:37:07,144 --> 00:37:10,744 which would be on the board. 390 00:37:10,784 --> 00:37:14,694 Then we have more solid paneling around other areas of the home, 391 00:37:14,694 --> 00:37:19,494 later we have stone cladding throughout these beams 392 00:37:20,464 --> 00:37:26,264 and throughout these bands, the roof and the vertical walls, 393 00:37:26,264 --> 00:37:29,584 and in the center here we have a different stone 394 00:37:29,584 --> 00:37:33,184 which is more of a marble. 395 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,752 Those are technically the three materials 396 00:37:35,752 --> 00:37:41,134 we will be using throughout the project front, rear, interior 397 00:37:41,134 --> 00:37:42,490 and exterior. 398 00:37:42,490 --> 00:37:47,870 You can see here how we would tie together the accent 399 00:37:47,870 --> 00:37:51,920 and at the same time, the wood cladding happens 400 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,272 to be on the exterior of the portico, 401 00:37:54,272 --> 00:37:57,584 but then on the interior we bring the marble 402 00:37:57,584 --> 00:37:59,976 from the front one story structure 403 00:37:59,976 --> 00:38:04,176 and it becomes a design accent feature, 404 00:38:05,344 --> 00:38:07,816 everywhere else you have the wood cladding here 405 00:38:07,816 --> 00:38:10,144 in its different forms. 406 00:38:10,144 --> 00:38:14,944 Here it's solid, here are the slat versions . 407 00:38:17,649 --> 00:38:22,544 We also use the slats as a design feature for the entry 408 00:38:22,544 --> 00:38:24,944 fence and vehicular gate . 409 00:38:29,409 --> 00:38:32,484 Here on the interior we are using all the same materials, 410 00:38:32,484 --> 00:38:35,784 the wood and marble and stone. 411 00:38:35,784 --> 00:38:38,744 As we continue going to the rear, 412 00:38:38,744 --> 00:38:43,208 we are very consistent with the material selection as well. 413 00:38:43,208 --> 00:38:46,764 One of the most important features as I mentioned that 414 00:38:46,764 --> 00:38:52,530 the client really designed, I mentioned one of them was 415 00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:55,216 in the front which is the one story structures and then 416 00:38:55,216 --> 00:39:01,816 the other main program desires that they really wanted to have 417 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,544 their bedroom as far west as possible, 418 00:39:07,544 --> 00:39:12,864 that's why the entire master suite on the second floor here 419 00:39:12,864 --> 00:39:15,864 creates the covered terrace below , 420 00:39:18,604 --> 00:39:23,192 and you can see on the side here to be able to achieve that 421 00:39:23,192 --> 00:39:29,264 proximity to the water, we brought all of the master suite 422 00:39:29,264 --> 00:39:36,496 as close as possible, and then we have a side balcony so it 423 00:39:36,496 --> 00:39:40,384 wouldn't push the bedroom toward the rear or towards the east, 424 00:39:40,384 --> 00:39:43,900 so that was really the conception 425 00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:44,720 behind the rear design. 426 00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:48,164 The entire master bedroom towards the water creating 427 00:39:48,164 --> 00:39:51,764 the covered terrace is extremely important, 428 00:39:53,584 --> 00:39:59,174 and they wanted to have the view towards the Northwest, 429 00:39:59,174 --> 00:40:03,504 and that's what this balcony is there for. 430 00:40:03,504 --> 00:40:07,904 When you're in the bedroom, this is the balcony area which is 431 00:40:07,904 --> 00:40:10,904 an additional seating exterior area . 432 00:40:14,264 --> 00:40:17,814 In many areas of this house the interior exterior connection, 433 00:40:17,814 --> 00:40:22,320 nowadays you hear so much about in these modern homes, 434 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,864 we really wanted to help create that interior exterior flow. 435 00:40:26,864 --> 00:40:31,952 Even though the bedroom has a lounge area where the study is, 436 00:40:31,952 --> 00:40:36,344 it continues out towards this balcony and you have that 437 00:40:36,344 --> 00:40:38,344 Northwest view . 438 00:40:44,950 --> 00:40:48,400 I guess that concludes the presentation, 439 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,418 maybe it's good to mention that in the pool 440 00:40:52,418 --> 00:40:57,184 we have a sunken fire pit as well. 441 00:40:57,184 --> 00:41:02,584 in a way, the shape of the pool looks 442 00:41:04,224 --> 00:41:08,424 like it's a straight rectangle, but actually 443 00:41:08,904 --> 00:41:13,395 the pool of water line is more of a U shape 444 00:41:13,395 --> 00:41:20,781 and the center we carved out a space for the sunken fire pit. 445 00:41:20,781 --> 00:41:23,181 thank you so much. 446 00:41:33,248 --> 00:41:38,904 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: Let me ask you a few things. 447 00:41:38,904 --> 00:41:42,504 A few practical things, just coming 448 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:47,104 from the kind of experience that time gives us. 449 00:41:47,104 --> 00:41:50,880 You have the condensing units on the rooftop 450 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,426 which is convenient because you bring that noise up to the roof 451 00:41:53,426 --> 00:41:57,260 and hopefully it doesn't affect anybody. 452 00:41:57,984 --> 00:42:00,594 But I believe the building code requires 453 00:42:00,594 --> 00:42:06,594 you have access to a rooftop and access for servicing. 454 00:42:15,264 --> 00:42:17,564 so that's just a friendly comment, 455 00:42:17,564 --> 00:42:21,357 because what we typically try to do because a lot of these end 456 00:42:21,357 --> 00:42:27,544 up having roof terraces as well, since we are going up 457 00:42:27,544 --> 00:42:31,984 to the roof tariff with some kind of stair, 458 00:42:31,984 --> 00:42:35,770 you just don't want it to become an afterthought. 459 00:42:35,770 --> 00:42:41,770 This would create imperfection, so think about that the ship 460 00:42:41,792 --> 00:42:45,992 ladder thing becomes a last minute thing . 461 00:42:48,434 --> 00:42:50,304 That's something I think you need to look 462 00:42:50,304 --> 00:42:51,684 at in refining the design. 463 00:42:51,684 --> 00:42:54,597 The other question is about your gates, 464 00:42:54,597 --> 00:42:56,964 we all have this sort of request sometimes 465 00:42:56,964 --> 00:43:00,124 from clients that want privacy to bring their front gate as 466 00:43:00,124 --> 00:43:06,124 high up as possible and it looks like the gate 467 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:14,664 that you designed seems to be like a ten foot gate. 468 00:43:18,232 --> 00:43:21,232 Is that permitted by zoning? 469 00:43:25,178 --> 00:43:29,304 The note says five feet, but the rendering 470 00:43:29,304 --> 00:43:32,904 is whatever it wants to be. 471 00:43:38,784 --> 00:43:41,444 Martin Litman: At one point the owner 472 00:43:41,444 --> 00:43:44,364 wanted to pursue some sort of variance request, 473 00:43:44,364 --> 00:43:51,564 but they understood we are going to keep it at five feet. 474 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:13,404 We thought there was some sort of precedent 475 00:44:13,404 --> 00:44:17,604 about it, seeing that it wasn't, maybe 476 00:44:17,696 --> 00:44:21,290 the owner later wants to pursue that in the future. 477 00:44:21,290 --> 00:44:24,290 I don't think so, but. 478 00:44:29,770 --> 00:44:35,770 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: Its nice, but also the front door , 479 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,119 is that in half? 480 00:44:46,104 --> 00:44:50,564 Martin Litman: When it's closed it's supposed to look like 125 481 00:44:50,564 --> 00:44:52,564 foot panel . 482 00:45:00,252 --> 00:45:02,210 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: But the actual function 483 00:45:02,210 --> 00:45:04,610 is the lower half. 484 00:45:09,864 --> 00:45:15,864 Martin Litman: Where this beam is is the 12 foot height, 485 00:45:16,424 --> 00:45:20,624 coinciding with the window with the glass. 486 00:45:26,424 --> 00:45:30,240 There's two different types of stones, 487 00:45:30,394 --> 00:45:34,594 there's the actual marble , which is here 488 00:45:36,780 --> 00:45:41,744 and on the interior of the portico which I can point out 489 00:45:41,744 --> 00:45:43,744 in the example. 490 00:45:46,584 --> 00:45:53,784 the idea is for it to be an opposite of Carrara marble, 491 00:45:53,864 --> 00:45:57,294 instead of gray with full white, it's actually 492 00:45:57,294 --> 00:46:00,294 white veins with full gray. 493 00:46:08,184 --> 00:46:12,384 And then we have another stone, which 494 00:46:12,517 --> 00:46:16,544 is more to depict something similar to limestone 495 00:46:16,544 --> 00:46:19,544 but it is still stone. 496 00:46:39,504 --> 00:46:46,704 This idea of warmth which is what we most wanted to achieve. 497 00:46:51,102 --> 00:46:53,544 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: The way that the roof is draining, 498 00:46:53,544 --> 00:46:58,184 you try to avoid any dripping, it seems like there's a smooth 499 00:46:58,184 --> 00:47:00,184 parapet all throughout . 500 00:47:13,344 --> 00:47:18,800 Martin Litman: Normal drain on the emergency drain, 501 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:25,808 but since you pointed that out, to be able to achieve the thin 502 00:47:25,964 --> 00:47:31,964 slab esthetic, we actually have above the windows that's where 503 00:47:32,890 --> 00:47:37,584 we have a drop made out of the same aluminum as the window 504 00:47:37,584 --> 00:47:39,584 frames . 505 00:47:40,875 --> 00:47:45,704 You can really see it here how all of the air conditioning 506 00:47:45,704 --> 00:47:52,304 ducts and the dropped ceiling when you were on the interior , 507 00:47:53,434 --> 00:47:56,970 the height is to the top of the window but on the exterior to be 508 00:47:56,970 --> 00:48:01,344 able to achieve the thin slab, we are actually dropping 509 00:48:01,344 --> 00:48:05,884 or raising above the windows enhancing the actual aluminum 510 00:48:05,884 --> 00:48:12,240 of the window frames, so that's how specifically here you can 511 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:19,224 really see how that horizontal line and in the section you can 512 00:48:19,224 --> 00:48:24,240 also see how we achieved in this render . 513 00:48:36,864 --> 00:48:41,624 It's a concrete tie beam, then it will be cladded in the same 514 00:48:41,624 --> 00:48:48,824 aluminum as the window Correct , the glass goes up to the bottom 515 00:48:49,197 --> 00:48:52,644 of the tie beam and then the tie beam will be cladded 516 00:48:52,644 --> 00:48:54,644 in the aluminum. 517 00:49:09,264 --> 00:49:13,574 Martin Litman: It's a detail we thought a lot about, 518 00:49:13,574 --> 00:49:16,574 but the window ends prior. 519 00:49:23,304 --> 00:49:30,504 It was the intention to make it look like the thin roof 520 00:49:30,704 --> 00:49:34,904 line could be more visible, that's why 521 00:49:36,424 --> 00:49:41,400 even the stone in the windows are not 522 00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:47,604 flush with the front of that band, we set it back. 523 00:50:02,544 --> 00:50:06,144 That section is on the portico . 524 00:50:11,224 --> 00:50:13,397 About 60% of the length of this eyebrow 525 00:50:13,397 --> 00:50:15,184 is resting on the portico. 526 00:50:15,184 --> 00:50:20,584 You can see it here, they touch each other. 527 00:50:35,847 --> 00:50:38,550 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: It's not about the structure, 528 00:50:38,550 --> 00:50:40,924 is it supposed to read as a band that's just floating 529 00:50:40,924 --> 00:50:46,293 or is it part of the architecture of the two story 530 00:50:46,293 --> 00:50:47,476 element? 531 00:50:47,476 --> 00:50:50,476 I'm not getting that band. 532 00:50:52,944 --> 00:50:56,890 It looks like just a floating piece, 533 00:50:56,890 --> 00:51:02,832 but is it a floating piece or is it part of the whole element? 534 00:51:02,832 --> 00:51:05,410 Martin Litman: That's why this wood cladding does not 535 00:51:05,410 --> 00:51:08,570 go all the way to the top of the roof, the band of what 536 00:51:08,570 --> 00:51:12,152 would be the thickness of the roof is around and has 537 00:51:12,152 --> 00:51:14,994 the continuation and becomes that eyebrow. 538 00:51:14,994 --> 00:51:19,264 Basically it starts in this image where I'm pointing right 539 00:51:19,264 --> 00:51:21,976 now, this would be the balcony. 540 00:51:21,976 --> 00:51:24,637 Gets towards the front and then it turns the corner, 541 00:51:24,637 --> 00:51:30,229 goes all the way around and then it connects back to this balcony 542 00:51:30,229 --> 00:51:32,229 as well. 543 00:51:32,491 --> 00:51:35,158 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: I think this is still in schematic mode, 544 00:51:35,158 --> 00:51:38,952 when you slice through a few sections of the house, 545 00:51:38,952 --> 00:51:43,112 sort of the challenge or the calibration here 546 00:51:43,112 --> 00:51:44,844 that is going to be key to success 547 00:51:44,844 --> 00:51:46,898 to maintain the slenderness of those edges 548 00:51:46,898 --> 00:51:51,417 is how you step it down into sort of that lower roof that 549 00:51:51,417 --> 00:51:56,304 then is the one that's draining, and you have that parapet. 550 00:51:56,304 --> 00:51:59,770 I'm trying to imagine how that parapet works, 551 00:51:59,770 --> 00:52:04,144 and you have to feel these are slender canopies. 552 00:52:04,144 --> 00:52:07,444 The challenge always with these canopies is how they deal with 553 00:52:07,444 --> 00:52:10,829 the water and more and more try to sort of push the water off 554 00:52:10,829 --> 00:52:14,924 the edge so it doesn't drip, because when you get that 555 00:52:14,924 --> 00:52:18,992 moisture constantly it starts to grow bacteria and it starts 556 00:52:18,992 --> 00:52:26,290 to get dirty , so these are the things in the tropics that we 557 00:52:26,290 --> 00:52:28,504 need to work out. 558 00:52:28,504 --> 00:52:34,804 You have a lot of edges that appear to be very slender, 559 00:52:34,804 --> 00:52:41,404 I don't know how much water we are capturing and draining. 560 00:52:42,744 --> 00:52:45,920 Martin Litman: The reason for the parapet 561 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:51,692 is so we can have the height to create the pitch. 562 00:52:51,728 --> 00:52:54,304 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: I see you are sloping them quarter 563 00:52:54,304 --> 00:52:58,504 inch back to the preferred roof, I 564 00:52:58,517 --> 00:53:02,717 think that's a good strategy for sure. 565 00:53:06,620 --> 00:53:08,460 Speaker: I like the front of the house, however 566 00:53:08,460 --> 00:53:10,404 I'm looking through the drawings and trying 567 00:53:10,404 --> 00:53:14,757 to understand what you are doing at this level here. 568 00:53:14,757 --> 00:53:19,289 Is this supposed to be the entire house? 569 00:53:19,289 --> 00:53:23,489 is the front portion a one story? 570 00:53:25,177 --> 00:53:27,896 Martin Litman: This is just the main structure, 571 00:53:27,896 --> 00:53:31,304 let me show you the site plan here. 572 00:53:31,304 --> 00:53:33,232 There you can see on the second floor 573 00:53:33,232 --> 00:53:38,952 plan what would be the roofs of the one story structures. 574 00:53:38,952 --> 00:53:41,424 This is the second floor floor plan 575 00:53:41,424 --> 00:53:43,592 that shows the roofs of the one story structures 576 00:53:43,592 --> 00:53:50,192 and then the roof plan shows just the two story structure. 577 00:53:50,620 --> 00:53:54,464 but we will resolve the drainage for the one story 578 00:53:54,464 --> 00:53:56,464 structures the same. 579 00:53:59,774 --> 00:54:01,774 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: If you overlay the roof, 580 00:54:01,774 --> 00:54:04,372 you have these two openings for palm trees on the other side 581 00:54:04,372 --> 00:54:08,584 of the entrance but when I go to the roof plan I'm not seeing 582 00:54:08,584 --> 00:54:12,784 that so I'm trying to understand it. 583 00:54:14,184 --> 00:54:17,224 Martin Litman: Because you have that eyebrow that you were 584 00:54:17,224 --> 00:54:21,424 asking me about before that goes across . 585 00:54:37,224 --> 00:54:42,384 The roof comes to here, so basically this area here 586 00:54:42,384 --> 00:54:48,384 would be the eyebrow and this would be the portico. 587 00:55:02,332 --> 00:55:04,400 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: A public comment, 588 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,400 and then we will continue. 589 00:55:27,264 --> 00:55:29,814 Heather Brecker: First I will say 590 00:55:29,814 --> 00:55:31,694 that's a beautiful rendering. 591 00:55:31,694 --> 00:55:37,940 We have been residents for six plus years now. 592 00:55:38,317 --> 00:55:41,917 I will read this to you... 593 00:55:42,674 --> 00:55:46,274 For six consecutive years we have 594 00:55:46,568 --> 00:55:49,709 dealt with construction next to or across from our home. 595 00:55:49,709 --> 00:55:53,284 At that time we had a son who was not even yet one years old, 596 00:55:53,284 --> 00:55:56,360 and with no meaningful regard for the fact that we 597 00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,277 were residents, our family's home, and the place where 598 00:55:59,277 --> 00:56:02,640 we are entitled to live, reasonably 599 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,224 has been impacted by this construction for our safety, 600 00:56:06,224 --> 00:56:08,437 health, and quality of life. 601 00:56:08,437 --> 00:56:11,974 This has not been a short term inconvenience, 602 00:56:11,974 --> 00:56:17,944 six years is a long time living with ongoing noise, dust, 603 00:56:17,944 --> 00:56:20,708 vibration, distraction, loss of privacy 604 00:56:20,708 --> 00:56:23,280 and the constant intrusion that comes with construction 605 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,116 of not just a single family residence 606 00:56:25,116 --> 00:56:28,624 but as you know some really massive, significant 607 00:56:28,624 --> 00:56:33,424 construction projects in the vicinity five houses down 608 00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:38,210 or across where our home is located. 609 00:56:38,210 --> 00:56:40,840 While we all live in a beautiful community, 610 00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:42,450 we also live in a community, and I 611 00:56:42,450 --> 00:56:49,500 do want you to understand that our living has been impacted 612 00:56:49,224 --> 00:56:52,824 substantially by all these significant construction 613 00:56:53,224 --> 00:56:55,432 projects that are now beautiful homes, 614 00:56:55,432 --> 00:56:58,955 and we have dealt with living through all of this 615 00:56:58,955 --> 00:57:01,304 like I said for six consecutive years. 616 00:57:01,304 --> 00:57:03,120 The burden of that development have 617 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,224 been placed almost entirely on the families who 618 00:57:06,224 --> 00:57:08,624 live in its path. 619 00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:11,176 I don't want to go on longer than this, 620 00:57:11,176 --> 00:57:13,890 but our address should not become a permanent construction 621 00:57:13,890 --> 00:57:16,430 zone simply because development is permitted, 622 00:57:16,430 --> 00:57:19,872 there has to be a point at which the impact to the people 623 00:57:19,872 --> 00:57:22,456 and the lives who live here have matter 624 00:57:22,456 --> 00:57:24,210 and therefore ask you to understand 625 00:57:24,210 --> 00:57:26,180 timely the consideration not only 626 00:57:26,180 --> 00:57:28,928 of just where we are at, but our health 627 00:57:28,928 --> 00:57:31,110 and well-being and the safety. 628 00:57:31,110 --> 00:57:34,710 I will let my husband continue. 629 00:57:38,304 --> 00:57:41,224 John Brecker: It is a beautiful house, unfortunately 630 00:57:41,224 --> 00:57:43,684 we're not going to live there when we have 631 00:57:43,684 --> 00:57:46,540 the burden of construction. 632 00:57:46,540 --> 00:57:52,540 The house across from us is currently building Of 500 zero 633 00:57:52,504 --> 00:57:54,575 square foot house and next to it it's 634 00:57:54,575 --> 00:57:57,100 been five years of that construction. 635 00:57:57,100 --> 00:57:59,410 I brought a picture today of when 636 00:57:59,410 --> 00:58:02,440 we walked in here the cars that are lined up on the street. 637 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,586 Some days it's impossible for us to get out of our driveway, 638 00:58:05,586 --> 00:58:10,152 we've gotten a flat tire, we've had to change multiple, 639 00:58:10,152 --> 00:58:12,264 we've had to change our air conditioning 640 00:58:12,264 --> 00:58:13,964 system because of all the dust. 641 00:58:13,964 --> 00:58:16,840 There's been vibration constantly 642 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,624 that has affected our foundation of our house, 643 00:58:19,624 --> 00:58:21,944 and that's not just our house, that's 644 00:58:21,944 --> 00:58:23,370 people along the corridor. 645 00:58:23,370 --> 00:58:28,544 We've had construction behind us, next to us, and diagonally 646 00:58:28,544 --> 00:58:30,524 for the last six years. 647 00:58:30,524 --> 00:58:36,904 We have a seven year old who can't go out and play 648 00:58:36,904 --> 00:58:41,704 because there are trucks and construction workers constantly 649 00:58:42,700 --> 00:58:44,700 coming by. 650 00:58:44,372 --> 00:58:48,640 I think this needs to be put into consideration, 651 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,624 1300 zero square foot house in a number of years in construction. 652 00:58:52,624 --> 00:58:54,935 We've lived here for six years under these conditions, 653 00:58:54,935 --> 00:58:56,906 and I don't think anyone in this room 654 00:58:56,906 --> 00:58:58,823 would buy a house that you've had construction 655 00:58:58,823 --> 00:59:03,247 of this magnitude for so long, and with the disruptions 656 00:59:03,247 --> 00:59:04,304 that we've had. 657 00:59:04,304 --> 00:59:05,488 There's noise disruptions. 658 00:59:05,488 --> 00:59:08,618 I work from home, there's noise disruptions. 659 00:59:08,618 --> 00:59:12,699 I think that this really needs to be thought of. 660 00:59:12,699 --> 00:59:16,359 As specifics to the house, the two main buildings 661 00:59:16,359 --> 00:59:21,359 they want to build right onto the street, I really object to. 662 00:59:21,359 --> 00:59:24,717 It's going to be a massive project for them to build those, 663 00:59:24,717 --> 00:59:27,663 it's going to be all trucks and noise and dust, 664 00:59:27,663 --> 00:59:30,439 we live right across the street. 665 00:59:30,439 --> 00:59:34,544 Is not taking into account the neighbors that live there. 666 00:59:34,544 --> 00:59:36,848 It's beautiful, but it's a huge inconvenience 667 00:59:36,848 --> 00:59:40,624 to us and to our neighbors, so I think the sign needs 668 00:59:40,624 --> 00:59:42,219 to go back and be changed. 669 00:59:42,219 --> 00:59:45,184 It would be one thing if you kept it all the way back 670 00:59:45,184 --> 00:59:48,504 and had a courtyard, but to build those two pieces, 671 00:59:48,504 --> 00:59:51,384 it's going to be a huge disruption to us. 672 00:59:51,384 --> 00:59:55,606 Not to your clients, but to us, so I 673 00:59:55,606 --> 00:59:58,408 think it needs to be a really thought about design 674 00:59:58,408 --> 01:00:01,944 of this property so it's fair for the people who already live 675 01:00:01,944 --> 01:00:04,944 here, along with the timeline. 676 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:10,640 I think there's needs to be a discussion . 677 01:00:12,444 --> 01:00:15,444 There's no room to park . 678 01:00:20,224 --> 01:00:24,104 Heather Brecker: I have to call the gates sometimes to get out, 679 01:00:24,104 --> 01:00:27,704 God forbid there was an emergency. 680 01:00:30,304 --> 01:00:33,789 We have two points that have been many times 681 01:00:33,789 --> 01:00:37,206 literally blocked and people get in the way and they go fast. 682 01:00:37,206 --> 01:00:40,648 If my son is coming home and he just wants to go outside, 683 01:00:40,648 --> 01:00:45,370 I'm worried someone's skirting by at 60mph because they want 684 01:00:45,370 --> 01:00:51,370 to just get through the area because it's such mayhem. 685 01:00:51,136 --> 01:00:53,144 John Brecker: There have been many times 686 01:00:53,144 --> 01:00:56,304 you go through the street and can't get through. 687 01:00:56,304 --> 01:00:58,457 You either have to wait or go around. 688 01:00:58,457 --> 01:01:04,464 This plan of a 1300 zero square foot of this house at this time 689 01:01:04,464 --> 01:01:06,970 is not realistic, we cannot handle the amount 690 01:01:06,970 --> 01:01:09,370 of construction or vibration. 691 01:01:22,203 --> 01:01:23,578 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: Thank you 692 01:01:23,578 --> 01:01:25,194 for your honest presentation. 693 01:01:25,194 --> 01:01:29,994 I'm trying to share and lead this board. 694 01:01:32,364 --> 01:01:34,400 My thoughts are that we are trying 695 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:38,600 to look at design, esthetics, consistency, contacts, 696 01:01:39,294 --> 01:01:44,940 and there's a criteria we have to follow. 697 01:01:44,184 --> 01:01:46,760 What is outside our realm here is really 698 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,960 all the issues created by this excess 699 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,864 in buying homes, tearing them down, and building 700 01:01:57,214 --> 01:02:01,584 larger homes, that's kind of the constant trend. 701 01:02:01,584 --> 01:02:04,384 Your city commissioner and the mayor 702 01:02:04,384 --> 01:02:08,634 would be the people to really understand your concern, 703 01:02:08,634 --> 01:02:12,626 they understand the limitations of what they can do 704 01:02:12,626 --> 01:02:15,626 to sort of create legislation. 705 01:02:15,684 --> 01:02:21,592 From a design point of view, the city has a zoning consultant 706 01:02:21,592 --> 01:02:25,320 that looks at does the house comply with zoning criteria 707 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:31,320 and then the official reports to us as a board , 708 01:02:34,617 --> 01:02:38,494 does the project meet the zoning criteria of the village. 709 01:02:38,494 --> 01:02:43,294 Does, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten to us. 710 01:02:45,264 --> 01:02:47,517 Then, does it meet the building code 711 01:02:47,517 --> 01:02:53,517 and all kinds of other technical aspects of the code 712 01:02:53,984 --> 01:02:57,470 officially read into the record and creates a series 713 01:02:57,470 --> 01:03:00,384 of conditions to move forward. 714 01:03:00,384 --> 01:03:04,344 That's the typical process, I see what you are saying every 715 01:03:04,344 --> 01:03:09,817 day, I see it in Palm Island and Hibiscus Island and Palm Beach 716 01:03:09,817 --> 01:03:13,690 and Delray and all the beautiful luxury communities we have 717 01:03:13,690 --> 01:03:17,800 in Florida that are now gaining a lot of attraction people want 718 01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,744 to come and live in the same environment that you live, 719 01:03:21,744 --> 01:03:27,144 it's a big challenge to all of these communities , 720 01:03:27,544 --> 01:03:32,344 everybody is having to deal with construction traffic . 721 01:03:33,857 --> 01:03:36,864 You have an effective gate in trying to manage things, 722 01:03:36,864 --> 01:03:41,640 but it is kind of pure chaos because a lot of people 723 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,637 are allowed in because they are contractors working 724 01:03:43,637 --> 01:03:47,908 different projects, and what they do once they get in, 725 01:03:47,908 --> 01:03:52,492 who's going to be policing how they park and drive. 726 01:03:52,492 --> 01:03:56,504 All these concerns about safety for yourselves 727 01:03:56,504 --> 01:04:00,104 are legitimate comments, but I don't 728 01:04:00,429 --> 01:04:04,224 know what to do about it because we have to judge is it 729 01:04:04,224 --> 01:04:07,480 contextual, is it going to perform well, 730 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,564 does it have adequate landscaping. 731 01:04:09,564 --> 01:04:14,248 The two frontal garages are in the zone they are allowed, 732 01:04:14,248 --> 01:04:16,515 they are not doing anything that is not allowed 733 01:04:16,515 --> 01:04:19,104 but what we see is when people are building these larger 734 01:04:19,104 --> 01:04:21,435 homes a lot of times they come to us 735 01:04:21,435 --> 01:04:24,617 and they have one parking garage and we 736 01:04:24,617 --> 01:04:27,578 say how is that going to work? 737 01:04:27,578 --> 01:04:30,704 We do see a future hopefully where a lot of us are not going 738 01:04:30,704 --> 01:04:37,880 to be using too many cars , they still have to go somewhere so we 739 01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:38,284 do have concerns. 740 01:04:38,284 --> 01:04:42,992 This house appears to have two garages for two cars, plenty 741 01:04:42,992 --> 01:04:47,892 of car capacity, but your concern is understood by me, 742 01:04:47,892 --> 01:04:50,792 and I will just allow the other board 743 01:04:50,792 --> 01:04:53,864 members to state the concern and comments about this. 744 01:04:53,864 --> 01:04:58,664 We have a resident actually sitting with us , 745 01:05:00,858 --> 01:05:04,458 that's all I have to say. 746 01:05:08,462 --> 01:05:10,424 Speaker: The street is very complicated, 747 01:05:10,424 --> 01:05:17,240 I can't get out that exit any day, it's always blocked . 748 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:25,640 It's complicated, but I can also say the team have really stepped 749 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,640 it up . 750 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,704 Trying to impose the requirements to make it better 751 01:05:32,704 --> 01:05:37,504 for the residents, but it's not our jurisdiction . 752 01:05:58,152 --> 01:06:00,652 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: As a public official how do you deal 753 01:06:00,652 --> 01:06:04,140 with that, we live in the United States when you buy a property 754 01:06:04,140 --> 01:06:09,832 you have certain rights , and then it affects others that live 755 01:06:09,832 --> 01:06:13,480 in the neighborhood like you being affected. 756 01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,984 So how do you legislate to avoid that, you basically 757 01:06:16,984 --> 01:06:19,208 have to put some kind of building moratorium, 758 01:06:19,208 --> 01:06:22,632 and I don't think that's going to happen. 759 01:06:22,632 --> 01:06:25,784 People buy properties, people make investments, 760 01:06:25,784 --> 01:06:30,200 and people have rights you can try to challenge them and go 761 01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,600 through the legal process . 762 01:06:45,424 --> 01:06:49,894 if you talk to everyone managing these construction sites, 763 01:06:49,894 --> 01:06:52,684 the superintendents and project managers, 764 01:06:52,684 --> 01:06:56,204 most of their day is spent talking to the front gate 765 01:06:56,204 --> 01:06:59,240 because someone's trying to get in then they have to manage that 766 01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:05,574 and then they've got a big piece of equipment being delivered , 767 01:07:05,574 --> 01:07:10,640 it's like that's what you're living every day in about 30 768 01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,640 active construction sites. 769 01:07:12,444 --> 01:07:16,408 It's stressful, puts the stress on the community. 770 01:07:16,408 --> 01:07:19,944 As you know, there's a lot of Jewish holidays where nothing 771 01:07:19,944 --> 01:07:22,944 happens but it's not enough . 772 01:07:35,464 --> 01:07:41,464 It's a real issue, I don't have any solutions unfortunately . 773 01:07:51,304 --> 01:07:54,904 I would go to the commission . 774 01:08:11,662 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker: Everything behind the gate 775 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,994 is private streets, the civic Association manages the gate 776 01:08:16,994 --> 01:08:19,888 access, and that's another avenue for you 777 01:08:19,888 --> 01:08:25,888 to communicate about how that is being handled as well. 778 01:08:27,664 --> 01:08:30,688 What other communities are doing is 779 01:08:30,688 --> 01:08:35,204 they require the contractor to present the construction plan, 780 01:08:35,204 --> 01:08:41,204 like on site I'm going to provide parking for 15 cars. 781 01:08:42,370 --> 01:08:48,370 Does that really happen , do contractors really buy a minibus 782 01:08:50,234 --> 01:08:54,272 to transport their crew to the site, that's not very practical. 783 01:08:54,272 --> 01:08:59,720 I don't know what else to say here . 784 01:09:11,584 --> 01:09:15,184 Usually these are 2 to 3 year constructions. 785 01:09:16,517 --> 01:09:20,117 These have changed architects and designers, 786 01:09:20,869 --> 01:09:25,644 owners make changes and they have to get revisions. 787 01:09:25,644 --> 01:09:32,244 We can't control that, it's just the way these things evolve 788 01:09:33,424 --> 01:09:36,694 because people are creative and they have expectations 789 01:09:36,694 --> 01:09:39,526 so it's difficult for us to have any impact 790 01:09:39,526 --> 01:09:44,926 on the schedule or the building official, per se. 791 01:09:56,869 --> 01:10:00,304 Speaker: The mayor would be the avenue through, and then 792 01:10:00,304 --> 01:10:03,274 your community association or even 793 01:10:03,274 --> 01:10:07,314 bring it to the community input whether conditions 794 01:10:07,314 --> 01:10:09,314 are agreed upon. 795 01:10:27,639 --> 01:10:29,472 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: That's happening too 796 01:10:29,472 --> 01:10:33,604 at the state level, they are superseding our authority 797 01:10:33,604 --> 01:10:36,604 to have moratoriums until October 2027. 798 01:10:45,310 --> 01:10:47,744 Speaker: If you go to the first page on the plans, 799 01:10:47,744 --> 01:10:50,764 there's a note of an ordinance you could look at which protects 800 01:10:50,764 --> 01:10:52,764 you . 801 01:11:18,823 --> 01:11:21,164 Speaker: We've made sure every construction site has 802 01:11:21,164 --> 01:11:24,344 a pre-construction meeting for demolition that's part of that 803 01:11:24,344 --> 01:11:28,504 ordinance, we will have that meeting and code enforcement 804 01:11:28,504 --> 01:11:32,536 will be part of it, police department and public works all 805 01:11:32,536 --> 01:11:39,136 part of that meeting to be able to control the access 806 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,760 the vehicles inside the site . 807 01:11:51,268 --> 01:11:53,548 That house has been in construction before I got here, 808 01:11:53,548 --> 01:11:57,932 and I've been here five and a half years. 809 01:11:57,932 --> 01:12:01,384 Keep in mind we can't control that, but just 810 01:12:01,384 --> 01:12:04,792 for peace of mind based on the last communication 811 01:12:04,792 --> 01:12:08,392 we had with that site, supposedly 812 01:12:08,624 --> 01:12:13,304 before the end of September they are going to finish, 813 01:12:13,304 --> 01:12:16,904 that's what they've been telling us. 814 01:12:17,344 --> 01:12:21,492 This could be any time after now this process, 815 01:12:21,492 --> 01:12:24,752 then they have to go through the process of permitting which 816 01:12:24,752 --> 01:12:27,472 could take another month and a half to three months 817 01:12:27,472 --> 01:12:29,954 and then after that they can start construction. 818 01:12:29,954 --> 01:12:36,136 But then, you also have another house across with the other 819 01:12:36,136 --> 01:12:40,895 owner similar to this that got approved 4 or 5 months ago that 820 01:12:40,895 --> 01:12:46,895 is under construction already , that one should be done probably 821 01:12:49,810 --> 01:12:51,810 within 6 to 8 months . 822 01:12:56,121 --> 01:13:02,180 But the other one, it will probably be 2 to 3 years 823 01:13:02,180 --> 01:13:06,818 so unfortunately I cannot control the construction speed 824 01:13:08,376 --> 01:13:11,976 or how they acquire the materials . 825 01:13:18,157 --> 01:13:19,740 We have another one inside the dry lot 826 01:13:19,740 --> 01:13:23,176 has been in construction for more than four years, 827 01:13:23,176 --> 01:13:26,304 but the materials that they picked out 828 01:13:26,304 --> 01:13:29,840 and the lead time they've taken that time, 829 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:32,840 unfortunately we can't control that. 830 01:13:32,496 --> 01:13:39,590 But I completely understand, if you want we can give you contact 831 01:13:39,590 --> 01:13:45,590 information for the construction and you can see the construction 832 01:13:46,464 --> 01:13:50,117 contractor at the construction meeting and have a point 833 01:13:50,117 --> 01:13:55,517 of contact and hear what we say to them . 834 01:14:02,260 --> 01:14:04,627 To be neighbors you cannot start on the wrong foot, 835 01:14:04,627 --> 01:14:08,616 you have to be pleasant and passionate and not allow 836 01:14:08,616 --> 01:14:12,594 the destruction for the residents of the other 837 01:14:12,594 --> 01:14:14,594 neighborhoods . 838 01:14:18,133 --> 01:14:19,800 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: We get the idea, 839 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,384 we feel your frustration and your pain 840 01:14:22,384 --> 01:14:27,784 and we wish we could do something about it. 841 01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:02,640 Thank you guys. 842 01:15:11,944 --> 01:15:15,404 We have some additional public comments 843 01:15:15,404 --> 01:15:17,824 which I will read into the record, 844 01:15:17,824 --> 01:15:21,880 they are available for the architects to read. 845 01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:24,880 They are very sensible comments , 846 01:15:27,597 --> 01:15:32,612 and then we have public comments from this couple . 847 01:15:32,612 --> 01:15:38,120 We can wrap up the feedback, any more questions? 848 01:15:40,570 --> 01:15:44,957 Speaker: On the north side you have a single access gate access 849 01:15:44,957 --> 01:15:49,240 and no access until you get to the rear yard, 850 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:52,264 so the courtyard I would imagine there will be kids at some 851 01:15:52,264 --> 01:15:57,640 point, there's kind of a visual barrier pure . 852 01:16:03,421 --> 01:16:07,621 the whole northern 75 by ten feet accessible 853 01:16:08,804 --> 01:16:12,740 except from the right of way or the backyard, 854 01:16:12,740 --> 01:16:15,674 I would just recommend a gate. 855 01:16:19,624 --> 01:16:23,664 Martin Litman: There's a side exit through the gym that is 856 01:16:23,664 --> 01:16:25,664 additional . 857 01:16:39,784 --> 01:16:45,446 The other one, with that garage facing the street and the cars 858 01:16:45,446 --> 01:16:51,608 having to do a 180, can we screen the lights coming back 859 01:16:51,608 --> 01:16:57,608 to the neighbors who just left because normally the headlights 860 01:16:58,168 --> 01:17:04,768 as you are leaving your driveway point down at the street . 861 01:17:17,584 --> 01:17:20,284 Normally on a structured garage they're 862 01:17:20,284 --> 01:17:22,760 going to require some sort of visual barrier 863 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,760 to keep that from happening. 864 01:17:40,832 --> 01:17:48,320 Speaker: Do you have a fresh air intake system for this house? 865 01:17:49,624 --> 01:17:53,544 Martin Litman: We didn't do the mechanical problems yet, 866 01:17:53,544 --> 01:17:55,944 but we always do . 867 01:18:21,476 --> 01:18:23,976 Jose L. Gomez, Board Member: I've been looking at the plans, 868 01:18:23,976 --> 01:18:28,776 and there's a little coordination to be done . 869 01:18:34,984 --> 01:18:40,384 The eyebrow is pretty impressive over already in arch . 870 01:18:50,410 --> 01:18:53,560 Speaker: We have to trust, there isn't a process where you come 871 01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,904 back after full design and see things, 872 01:18:56,904 --> 01:19:01,416 it's not going to happen and I think the beauty is that we have 873 01:19:01,416 --> 01:19:05,224 different brains here and we are all kind of giving you our best 874 01:19:05,224 --> 01:19:10,240 thoughts to make sure you find great success . 875 01:19:11,286 --> 01:19:14,174 I think the sign is nicely done and I 876 01:19:14,174 --> 01:19:17,424 think your clients are happy and you've got consistency 877 01:19:17,424 --> 01:19:21,977 in the vocabulary, the material, palette is fantastic. 878 01:19:21,977 --> 01:19:25,428 It's sort of in the execution because we 879 01:19:25,428 --> 01:19:28,424 want to make sure contractors don't 880 01:19:28,424 --> 01:19:30,978 cut corners and things like that, 881 01:19:30,978 --> 01:19:35,178 we wish you good luck on that. 882 01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,554 Excellent job, the feedback you're 883 01:19:40,554 --> 01:19:42,804 getting from the neighbors is more 884 01:19:42,804 --> 01:19:46,544 because there's a lot going on, it's a beautiful community 885 01:19:46,544 --> 01:19:48,944 and people get concerned. 886 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,360 Speaker: I feel sympathetic . 887 01:20:06,847 --> 01:20:09,136 Reinaldo Borges, Chair: Let's go forward on this, 888 01:20:09,136 --> 01:20:13,936 anybody wants to make a motion to approve. 889 01:20:15,784 --> 01:20:19,384 That was a, I saw it . 890 01:20:23,924 --> 01:20:27,524 All those in favor say aye. 891 01:20:27,650 --> 01:20:33,500 you've got four yeses and no official written conditions, 892 01:20:33,386 --> 01:20:35,344 we are submitting the comments of the neighbors 893 01:20:35,344 --> 01:20:40,144 for your consideration and wish you the best. 894 01:20:55,384 --> 01:21:00,184 It depends on the quality of the drawings . 895 01:21:03,224 --> 01:21:06,457 I think no other official business, so we are done, 896 01:21:06,457 --> 01:21:11,257 we closed the meeting, no more public comments . 897 01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:16,664 The world is safe, everything's happy, everything's beautiful. 898 01:21:16,664 --> 01:21:22,664 The meeting comes to a close, thank you so much!
