MEMORANDUM Village Cierk's Office
TO: Michaei Couzzo, Village Manager
FROM: Lori McWilliams, Viilage Cierk
DATE: Aprii 25, 2015
SUBJECT: Proposed Dissolution of the Board of Adjustment
The Community Development Director, Nilsa Zacarias, and I haue had numerous
conversations over the past year regarding the Board of Adjustment (BOA). Currently,
the BOA is charged with hearing requesfis for variances on property containing single
family residences in zoning districts R-1 and R-1A, as well as certain administrative
appeals.
The Zoning Board meets infrequently (it has not had a meeting since 6/10/2013). As
such, we propose the BOA be dissolved and the duties transferred to the Planning and
Zoning Advisory Board, which meets on a regutar basis.

or firture group or complex shall ha.ve a unity of character and design, and a
relationship of forms, and the use, texture and color of materials shall be sach as to
create an harmonious whole. When the area involved forms an integzal part of, is

section of the village, the desiga and location on the site shall enhance ratber than
detract from the character, value, and ariractiveness of the siuroundings.
(2) Harmony with surroundings. Buildings or structures located along strips of land or
on single � sites and not a part of a unified multibuilding complex shail strive to

areas, the three primary requirements shall be met: express honest design
construction, show praper design concepts, and be appropriate to the village.
(3) Facades. All facades visible to public or adjacent property shall be designed to
create a harmonious whole. Materials sha11 express their function clearly and not
appear as a material foreign ta the rest of the building.
Page 8 of 13
(4) Methods of harmonious design. It is not to be inferred that bwildings must look alike
or be of the same style to be harmonious. Harmony can be achieved through the
proper consideration of proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials and color.
(5) Advertisements on buildings. Buildings which are of symbolic design for rea.SOns of
advertising and are not compatible to the atrnosphere of the village shall not be
approved. Symbols attached to the buildings will not be allawed. unless they are
secondary in appearance to the building and landscape and are an aeskhetic asset to
the project and neighborhood.
(6) Exterior lighting. Fxterior lighting may be used to illuminate a building and its
grounds for safety purposes, but in an aesthetic manner. Lighting is not to be used as
a form of advertising in a manner that is not compatible to the neighbozhood or in a
manner such that it draws considerably more attention to the building grounds at
night than in the day. Lighting following the form of the building or part of the
building will nat be allowed. All fixtures used in exterior lighting are to be selected
not only for functional value, but for aesthetic value.
(7) Inappropriate building stydes. Buildings of a style or style type foreign to South
Florida amd/or its climate will not be allowed. It is also to be understood that
buildings, even though they ha.ve a historical significance to South Florida, that do
not conform to the existing or to the evolving atmosphere of the village will not be
approved.
(8) Garish design. Building surfaces, walls and roafs that are considered garish by the
board will be denied approval.
(9) Takeout and pickup windows. Takeout or pickup windows of retail or wholesale
establishments sha11 not be located on a building facade that faces a public right-of-
. way, unless they are designed in such a manner as to be an aesthetic asset to the
building and neighborhood.
(10) Exterior forms. All exterior forms, attached or not attached to buildings, �hall
be in conformity to and secondary to the building. They sha11 be an asset both to the
aesthetics of the site and to the neighborhood.

services. All telephones on private p�periy, vending machi.nes, or any facility
Page 9 of 13
dispensin.g merchandise or a service shall be confined to a space built into the
building or enclosed in. a separate structure compatible with the main building.
(12) Advertisements on amenities. No advertising will be allowed on any exposed
amenity or facility such as benches and trash containers.
(13) Use of symbodic colors; exterior storage and display of inerchartdise. The
following are added criteria that pertai.n to but are not Iimited. to gasoline stations.
Symbolic colors of the exterior facades or roofs may not be used unless they are .
harmonious with the atmosphere of the neighborhood. For example, royal blue,
which symbolizes a brand of gasoline and other establishments, would not be
acceptable in most cases. Exterior display of goods for sale or those designating a
service will not be allowed, except that a gasoline station's display of goods and
tools of a service may be displayed on the pump island, provided that the island is
not considered by the board to be enlazged to take advantage of this provision, and
provided that the goods and tools be such tha.t they can 6e used or installed at the
island. For example, an oil rack is acceptable, but a tire display is not. Areas used to
store materials such as mufflers, tires, packing cra.tes or cases, refuse and garbage
shail be screened fram adjacent properiy and from the public view.
Sec. 22-83. - Eaternal space.
Elcternal space of the site should be designed reiative to its neighborhood, adjacent
properties, buildings, access (roads and pedestrian routes) and its activity. Building facades
enclosing a space must be harmonious. Where, because of their use or age, like facades are not
possible, consideration should be taken to unify the walls of the space by tbe application of
landscaping, or manmade objects of like design, at modular spacing. The floor of an external
space is of primary itnportance; its materials, texture and color, contour and shadow on it are to
be considered, not only in relation to the external space, but to its setting. Natural vistas must be
surveyed and planning steps are to be taken to preserve them to the greatest extent. Careful
consideration as to future development sha11 be given to vistas which open into undeveloped.
arreasas.
Sec. 22-84. - Landscaping.
Page 10 of 13
Landscape plans will be evaluated regarding their relationship to the existing natural
landsca.pe, the e�sting and proposed developed landscape, including those on adjacent properties
and slreet rights-of-wa.y, and the existing and proposed buildings.
(1) Preservation of existing natural landscape. The existing natural landscape character
should be preserved whenever possible. For example, an area containing a stand of
trees should be preserved by the developer to the greatest extent possible and should
be further Iandscaped in a complementary manner, rather than destroy the existing
trees aad replant with a type of vegetation completely foreign to the ixnmediate
natural environment.
(2) Paving, benches and similar fixtures. Landscaping includes not only trees and
plantings, but paviag, benches, fountains, exterior lighting fixtures, fences, and any
other item of exterior furniture. All items of the landscape are to be selected not anly
for their functional value but for their aesthetic value, and must complement the
whole. Placement of any such items within the village's right-of-way is prolubited.
(3) Screening. One of the basic uses of landscapiag will be to screen a particular
objectionable area, an accessory use or an otherwise acceptable structure or space.
The achievement of this is left to the designer, whether by walls, fences, mounds of
eazth, or vegetation. Screening shall lx employed to mask from the public view or
adjacent pmperties such service areas as trash and garbage areas, outside equipment
of an unaesthetic character, and accessory buildings or areas not enhancing or in
keeping wi.th the aesthetics of the project or neighborhood.
(4) View from other areas. Landscaping sha11 be designed in such a manner as to impart
its aesthetic character when viewed from any area accessible to the public or from
adjacent properties. This is to include views from high-rise buildings and bridges.
(5} Installation; size vf plants. All landscaping and plantings dasignated on the plans
approved by the board shall become effective and/or attain the size or height
indicated within one year from the date of the certificate of occupancy af the projec�
(6) Florida friendly dandscaping. All landscaping shall comply with the "Florida
• Friendly" requirements set forth in chapter 78, article ix, division 4.
Sec. 22-$5. - Parking lots.
Page 11 of 13
(a) General standards. Pazking lots are to l� designed as an aesthetic asset to a
neighborhood and to the building, group of buildings, or facility the parking lot serves. A
parking lot is to be considered an exteinal space, a transitional space which is
experienced between the access (such as roads) and the building, group of buildings or
other outside spaces �vhich it serves. The responsibility toward, beautification and design
of the parking lot is the same as that which the homeowner has to lus residentiallo� The
parking lot, because it is viewed from above as well as at eye level, should be designed
accordingly.
(b) Screening. Patking lots and their parked automobiles are to be effectively screened from
the public view and from adjacent properly in a me.nner that is attractive and compatible
with safety, the neighborhood, and facilities served
(c) Landscaping. Parking lot landscaping shall comply with the reqnirements of chapter 78,
article IX, division 4. Trees aze of primary importance in the landscape. They are not to
be minimized in height or in quantity, The tree imparts, especially in a relatively flat area,
a sense of three-dimensional space, it casts shadows that reduce the monotony of the
expanse of paving, and it creates a refuge from the tropical sun. Signs designating
enta�a�aces, exits, regulations, etc., in excess of two square feet are to be of a tasteful
design. The pavement is to be more than wall-tawall asphalt. It is recommended that
pavement be varied in texture or color designating lanes for automobile trai�ic, pedestrian
walks and parking spaces. Bright colored pavement is to be used only with restraint. In
order to create a pleasant atmosphere it is recommended that consideration also be given
to sculpture, founta.ins, gardens, pools and benches. Design emphasis is to be given to the
entrances and exits to and from the lot. Trash, refuse and unaesthetic storage and
mechanical equipment must be screened from view in accordance with village
requirements.
(d) Lighting. Lighting is to be designed not only from a standpoint of safety and vandalism,
but for visual efFect. Low lights of a human scale can be used along with feature lighting
emphasizing plants, trees, barriers, entrances, exits, etc. The fixtures are to be selected
not only for their functional value but for their aesthetic value.
Page 12 of 13
Section 2. Each and every other section and subse�tion of Chapter 22. Community
Developmen� shall remain in full force and effect as previously adopted.
Section 3. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with these smendments
are repealed.
Section 4. Should any section or provision of this ordinance, or any gortion thereof,
any pazagraph, sentence or word, be declar� by a Court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
