“Are you saying are you saying that you think you could accomplish this by with maintaining a pitched roof?”

“Yeah, I mean, I also had some challenges with the roof. I think we're losing some articulation and the roof is not compatible with the rest of the home. I also wanted to make sure you're not removing any existing trees, which you confirmed. And then the lighting and the soffit also is, I made this comment earlier, but that's not compatible with the neighborhood. A lot of those lighting up, lot of the house with the the landscaping lighting is beautiful the up lighting of the of the Landscaping and I'd love to see a you know more subtle lens lighting exterior scheme That's more compatible with…”

“Yeah, I think white cement tiles on a pitched roof would be beautiful and simple here.”

“I mean, I think I could get comfortable with a condition on the roof, but as designed, no.”

“I mean, I can make the motion to approve with a sloped roof and confirming all existing trees remain and removal of the soffit lighting. In staff conditions.”

“The soffit lighting is not consistent with the rest of Surfside.”

“So there are other ways to, you know, softly uplight the home that will, are nicer.”

“gabled roof with tile, gable tiled roof. Throughout the house? Yep. Okay. Maintain the tree in the corner? All existing trees remain and remove soffit lighting.”

“I guess we're going the opposite way this time. Couple questions. I like the treatment in the front with the planters. I think the way you've kind of stepped up and addressed the additional elevation in the front works well. there is there's really no treatment of that elevation in the rear right so it's the the rear elevation is just a white wall all the way around and you know I would have really loved to see some similar you know step up and whether planters or transition on that unless the yeah”

“Yeah. Yeah, so you basically just have a white wall all the way around, and especially where that barbecue is, you've popped that wall up higher than the fence, so your neighbor's looking at a big wall there. So I would have liked to have seen, or I would like to see, a little bit more of a treatment or a transition there. The lighting... The LED strip lighting is not compatible with Surfside's lighting scheme. I'd like to see that be removed. The floodlights also, are those motion sensors or what are those on the corners of the house in the front? Cameras. OK, it looks like there's lighting…”

“Yeah, so in the back there, you've got those floodlights in the back. There was another one in the back that had floodlights in the corners. I'm not sure which is the correct rendering.”

“That floodlight is invasive to the neighbor.”
Planning and Zoning Board · Jul 30, 2026

“So if it's a camera, fine. If it's floodlights, I don't think that's compatible with our neighborhood.”

“And the LED lighting all around, the strip lighting also. And then just a comment. I mean, this is your preference, but a black tile roof is going to be absorbing heat all day long. Your HVAC bill is going to be way higher. I think you could get away with a beautiful white cement tile roof, and it would be reflecting light and heat, and it would go with your design. Did you want to? If I can do just a small comment. Just speak into here. Sorry.”

“Yeah, I think anything lighter. And I mean, you have a very simple design here. And you're black and white, basically. So that's up to you. And then the rear windows, I don't know if anyone else, but the fact that they're different heights is a little awkward. I was wondering if there was some constraint you're working with there.”

“I understand. From the outside, you can see how it, you don't read that from the outside, right? But I can understand from the inside, yeah. Those are my comments.”

“Are you looking at a site plan that shows the balconies?”
Planning and Zoning Board · Jul 30, 2026

“But you can see the 20 foot setback in the floor plan, or in the site plan.”

“I see what you're saying. Because it's uneven, they might be able to pop out a little balcony on one side.”
Planning and Zoning Board · Jul 30, 2026

“You can open the door and still have the feeling of a balcony.”

“I'm wondering if there's a way to use the stairs in the back as a, you know, kind of having instead of the wall, a large stairway coming down. I don't know if you can have any room to move the pool a little further away and sort of move, transition that down the same way you're doing in the front where you've got some stairs, a landing, some stairs, and you can get some of that greenery in there to soften it up. It's one way to do it.”
