Kelly (Planning and Zoning staff) described the property in Sugar Pond and explained the owner replaced an existing fence without a permit about two years earlier. The owner, Mark McKinnon, told the board he had hired a contractor who did not advise obtaining a permit and that much of the fence was already erected when staff first contacted the household. McKinnon said his goal was privacy and that the rear portion was raised because an adjacent yard sits at a higher grade.

Staff told the board the installed fence included a 6-foot stockade (vertical) fence facing Barberry Drive, 7-foot horizontal panels on the sides and an 8-foot horizontal panel on the rear, and that the horizontal panels were installed with the unfinished side outward, contrary to the standards (the transcript references section 6415 x). Staff recommended conditions if the ARB approved, including installing vertical planks on the Barberry-facing section to create dimension, reversing sides and rear so the finished face faces neighboring properties, covering unfinished horizontal edges with vertical planks to hide nails, and limiting maximum side and rear heights to 7 feet.

McKinnon told the board he and his wife had been told by a contractor that replacing the old fence did not require a permit and that the contractor had suggested taller rear panels to compensate for the neighbor’s higher yard. Several board members and staff discussed whether the matter was primarily a code enforcement/building department issue because the fence was installed without a permit; staff explained the building-permit review required ARB action when a proposed design does not meet the ARB-approved fence chart.

The board pursued a stepwise approach. An initial motion to deny the owner’s application failed. The board then took separate votes on components: it approved adding vertical planks to the portion that faces Barberry Drive; it then considered the sides and rear and, after debate about pool-barrier and climbability concerns and the adjacent hedges, ultimately approved allowing 7-foot horizontal panels on the sides and rear without reversing them, provided vertical planks are added to cover unfinished edges that face neighboring properties. A later motion to approve the remaining staff conditions also passed. One board member recorded opposition in the recorded vocal responses during the votes; multiple motions and seconds were made during the discussion.

Staff noted safety concerns with horizontal panels serving as pool barriers — horizontal boards can create footholds — and recommended flipping panels so the finished side faces neighbors; the board approved several alternative remedies instead, including requiring additional vertical elements to reduce visible nails and gaps. The board instructed the owner to work with staff and invited the owner to engage a reputable fence contractor familiar with Wellington standards to prepare corrected plans for permitting.

The ARB’s final disposition combined the board’s motions and staff conditions as the basis for permit issuance or further enforcement if the owner does not comply.

The board approved the applicant's request after staff presented the project and the applicant said they reduced the tower height to address prior concerns. Damian Noel, Plan and Zone Division, summarized staff findings and noted the applicant sought a technical deviation for structure height and an additional sign display area beyond what zoning allows. Thomas Chmielewski of Insight Studio, the project's designer, told the board, “we are now 24 feet 2 inches,” describing the reduction from the previously proposed 29 feet 2 inches and explaining changes to the tower and retaining-wall elements to improve scale at the roundabout.

The deviation request included a structure-height variance from the 20-foot limit to 24 feet 2 inches and an additional sign display area because the monument includes two display faces rather than one. Noel said the property’s frontage is 770 feet, short of the 1,000 feet the code uses for another signage threshold, and described landscaping intended to offset the tower’s height, including two palm trees with 12-foot clear trunks around the monument.

Chmielewski described visual studies and renderings showing northbound and southbound views and said the two sign faces would not be visible simultaneously from a driver’s perspective. Board members asked about lighting; the applicant said landscaping uplighting and LED backlighting on the lettering were planned and that the tower would be externally uplit rather than internally illuminated.

Staff recommended approval and the board voted to approve the revised petition (2024-0028 ARB Cantor signage) with the technical deviations as requested. The chair called for the motion, a board member moved to approve the revised petition with the technical deviations, another board member seconded, and the chair announced, “Any opposed? Hearing none, motion carries.”

The board’s approval allows the monument to be built at the reduced 24 feet 2 inches with the two display faces and the landscaping shown in the applicant’s renderings. The applicant and staff left the meeting following the vote.

Planning staff entered files into the record and told the board the tennis center, relocated in 2015, already contains 21 tennis courts and a clubhouse; the padel facility will occupy a 15.53-acre property’s east side. Staff said the Village of Wellington executed a public–private partnership in 2024 with World Padel Wellington to design, construct, operate and maintain the facility.

Juan C. David, representing the applicant, described the design as intentionally subordinate to the main clubhouse: “we didn't want to mimic and replicate the main building. We thought that we didn't want to compete. We just want to subordinate our little buildings as a kiosk,” he said, explaining the proposed contemporary, light-colored kiosks, seating areas with umbrellas, and two gazebo structures. The architect noted the proposed white aluminum frames and materials match the existing clubhouse palette and that the proposed wall signage complies with code; no technical deviations were requested.

Staff recommended approval with conditions listed in the staff report. Board members asked about programming and whether the facility would operate like the Village’s tennis programs; staff said details about operations (private operator vs. village-run programs for residents) would be addressed outside the ARB’s design review. A board member said, “Padel's becoming like the fastest growing sport in the world,” and expressed support for the project.

A motion to approve the petition as presented passed with no objections recorded in the meeting transcript. The approval covers materials, colors and signage for the padel courts, kiosk buildings, and associated site elements; staff will proceed with permit review and finalize conditions listed in the staff report.

","The Architectural Review Board approved designs for seven paddle (padel) courts and a small ancillary building cluster at the Wellington Tennis Center, part of a public–private partnership.
