He advised that both the architect and the landscaping <br />architect are here today to answer any questions the Board may <br />have. <br />Cliff Shoals, architect of The Mac Ewen Group of Tampa, <br />pointed out that what is being called the tool shed is connected <br />by a walkway area to the house. The architecture is the same as <br />the main house. Their interpretation was that the greenhouse <br />section would be the conservatory portion that is attached to it. <br />The intent was that the architectural style would be.carried all <br />the way through to the drive-through area, including the tool <br />shed area. The primary concept was for privacy so that Mrs. Ames <br />could carry on her work with orchids. She didn't want to see the <br />neighbors and she didn't want the neighbors to see her while she <br />was doing this work. This particular lot in Little Harbour lent <br />itself perfectly to what they had in mind. In that area the high <br />point is 10 feet by the river, but at the street it is 5 or 6 <br />feet lower and the main house was placed by the river side of the <br />property. <br />Commissioner Bird felt is is hard to visualize this even <br />with the architect's rendering, and he believed that if we <br />approve this and it doesn't work out, we would be doing an unfair <br />thing to the neighbors. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if it would be possible to flip <br />flop the conservatory with the pergola, and Mr. Shoals explained <br />that you need to get into the conservatory, whereas the pergola <br />is mainly a storage area to hang the orchids. <br />Edward Hack of Melbourne stated he was a registered <br />landscape architect in the State of Florida. To answer Chairman <br />Eggert's question about the constrained space for the growth of <br />the trees between the wall and the driveway, he felt they could <br />reach their full potential growth in that area. He noted that <br />most of the plants being used in the screening are very cold <br />hardy and aren't normally killed in a freeze, just damaged. <br />41 <br />
