Road, Southampton, into an after-school and holiday child care facility.

The Board, at its meeting last week, approved the application by Mrs. Marie Smith which was turned down a year ago under the old development plan.

Under the old plan, such a facility was not suitable for the zoning.

With new zoning under the 1992 Plan Mrs. Smith will be able to operate the facility, with the assistance of six staff, on her one-acre property, providing: The facility has no more than 20 children; and Its use is restricted to 3-6 p.m. during school terms and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. during holidays.

Mrs. Smith was advised that any increase in the number of children at the day care centre will require the Board's consent.

Mid Ocean Club Limited's application to regrade the driving range on the southeast corner of the golf course in Tucker's Town was also approved.

The club was advised that "all excavation and landscaping shall be completed within six months of the date of commencement of work at the site''.

And the Board reminded the applicants that the sand taken off the hilly terrain cannot be sold for commercial use without its permission.

The Board also approved Chief Justice the Hon. Sir James Astwood's plans for renovations and additions to his property at Astwood Walk in Warwick.

But it reminded him that an application for a building permit must be submitted and approved in writing before any development on the site.

Parking for a minimum of four cars should also be available within the curtilage of the application site before a certificate of occupancy is issued, the Board said.

But it gave thumbs down to an application by the Salvation Army to develop on its arable land at Middle Road, Southampton.

The Board said the proposed development was forbidden under the Fourth Schedule of the 1974 Development and Planning Act.

"And,'' it further said, "the Minister responsible for Agriculture does not agree that the act does not cause significant damage to the Arable Land Conservation Area.'' The Army's divisional commander Major Almer Pavey said they had no concrete plans to develop on the land.

"It was just an exercise to get an approximate value of the land,'' he said.

The DAB deferred Australian millionaire Dr. Wolfgang Flottl's in-principle application to build a new house at his sprawling $23 million Castle Point property, pending a site visit.

Dr. Flottl's grand plans include demolishing the main house and guest cottage on the estate, adding on to the caretaker's cottage, and altering the one-bedroom watch tower.

Subject to approval, the new two-storey house will be built on about 3,000 square feet of land zoned "open space'' under the old Development Plan.

Although building on land zoned "open space'' is restricted, it is at the DAB's discretion to grant permission.

The new house, designed by local architects at the Studio Limited, will feature seven Bermuda chimneys, top-hung and side-hung Bermuda shutters on all windows, a huge swimming pool with a staircase leading up to the house, and a grand circular driveway leading up to its main entrance which will be flanked by white columns.

Mr. Flottl, who owns Bermuda-based International Asset Management Limited, purchased Castle Point from Dr. Henry Clay Frick for an undisclosed sum last year.

He had lived next door to Castle Point in Sounion West since March, 1989.
