February 6,2002
The Tequesta Pines Property Owners Associarion (TPPOA) has prepared a road right of way
landscape plan for those portions of Seabrook Road and Riverside Drive that traverses and are
adjacent to Tequesta Pines Subdivision. This is an unusual project and request because the TTPOA
has requested use of the designated road right of way described above for landscaping purposes. The
TPPOA has proposed to prepare the landscaping plans, fund the improvements and maintain the
landscaping within the road right of way. The Village will continue to maintain the roadways and
utilities lines.
Because of the uniqueness of the proposed project, the Village Attomey directed that d�e Village
Development Review Committee (DRC� should review the landscape plans; then, forward the DRC
comments to the Village Manager for presentation to the Village Council. The FolIowing
information and comments are provided for your purpose:
1) Letter from Liz Schauer, Board Member of TPPOA authorizing Gentile,Holloway and
O'Mahoney,Inc. to represent the TPPOA in this matter.
2) Minutes from DRC meeting with Departinent Heads comments. Primary comments
regarded coordination of the placement of landscaping above and around e�usting water
mains, fire hydrants, and newly installed lights and away from intersection lines of sight.
It was also noted that curb and gutter and installation of swales on Seabrook Road are
scheduled in the VOT 2001 five-year improvement plan. It was requested that the
landscape plans be designed so that irrigation lines would not have to be cut in the future.
3) The Community Development Departriient requested a letter be submitted as part of the
landscaping plans indicating the calculation for native species;statements of drought and
cold tolerances; and, statement regarding status of signage. This has been provided and
attached hereto.
4) Subsequent to Village Council review and action,the TPPOA R.O.W.landscape plan��ill
be forwarded to CAB review.

Development Review Committee Meeting Minutes

Chief Trube indicated there was only one access road into this development and
that a nice, wide, flared entrance would be needed. Chief Trube advised that a
sprinkler system was required. The applicant advised that the buildings would not
exceed 21'-6" in height. Hydrants were pointed out on the plans—by #6, #4, and
#4, which Chief Trube indicated would suffice. Mr. Nissenbaum indicated the fire
department connections were at the ends of the buildings, but could not answer
whether there were siamese fittings. Chief Trube advised hydrants must be no
more than 500' apart. Fire service was next to the water and at the ends of the
buildings.
Mr. Newell refened to Mr. Horniman's notes, which indicated this project was in a
mixed-use district, the traffic report was in process, a full set of plans was needed
for review, and uses and densities were provided. Mr. Holloway indicated that Mr.
Horniman should now have the landscaping specifications. Mr. Newell indicated
items Mr. Horniman was looking ..for included sign sizes, lot coverage, and
landscape specs, and that open space requirements and landscaping requirements
could be discussed with Mr. Horniman. Mr. Holloway responded they would talk
to Mr. Horniman on those issues. Applicant indicated they would change the sign
size from 6'-8" to meet the 6' requirement. Mr. Newell advised that the applicant
needed to make an appointment with Mr. Horniman, that the sketch plot review
would go before Village Council, and after their approval the applicant would
move to preliminary or preliminary/final plat. It was verified that the plans
contained the temporary sales trailer. Mr. Gentile indicated they would submit a
request to waive preliminary, following the steps as in Tequesta Trace.
Tequesta Pines Road RO.W. Landscape Plan — Pine Tree Trail East and
Seabrook Road; and Riverside Drive and Pine Tree Trail West. Tequesta
Pines H.O.A., Applicant. Emily O'Mahoney, Gentile, Holloway, O'Mahoney
and Associates, Agent.
Emily O'Mahoney was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. White advised that
on both Riverside and Seabrook Road there was an A/C water main, and requested
no large plantings or buildings on top of that main, Applicant indicated Mr. White
would be called to field locate plantings. Ms. O'Mahoney indicated this project

would be phased and the applicant hoped to do the Riverside portion after
completion of the county's sidewalk. Ms. O'Mahoney indicated large plantings
would not be too close to lights or to the roadway, and were set back to
accommodate a collector road. Minimum requirements for placement of roots
were discussed so that they would not interfere with the water main. Mr. White
indicated placement might have to be changed a little when he field located the
main.
Police Lieutenant Rick Ricciardi indicated the foliage as shown on the plan was
okay.
Ms. O'Mahoney indicated the plan called for repair and replacement of existing
sod as required. Mr. Preston advised that in fiscal year 2001 the 5-Year
Improvement Plan called for curb and gutter and installation of swales from one
end of Seabrook Road to the other end, and requested the plan be designed so that
irrigation lines would not have to be cut in the future. Mr. Preston advised that
hopefully at the next Village Council meeting the agreement with Palm Beach
County for the Riverside Drive sidewalks on the west side of the road could be
presented for approval. The sidewalk work would be done by the Village and the
Village would be reimbursed by the County. Mr. Presto� indicated he thought the
sidewalk would be installed by the end of the year—that it had been budgeted for
2002, but could happen in FY 2003.
Fire Operations Chief Trube requested the applicant assure plantings were away
from the fire hydrants.
Mr. Newell indicated that the plant list and signs in the right-of-way had been
discussed previously. Ms. O'Mahoney indicated the signs would be moved out of
the right-of-way and placed on the existing wall face, and plantings would be taken
out of the corner of the rights-of-way because they were in the line of sight. The
signs would be illuminated. Police Lieutenant Ricciardi recommended because of
vandalism to either use very cheap lighting fixtures or something more substantial
than shown in the plans. Mr. O'Mahoney indicated the applicant was very aware
of that problem and agreed with Lt. Ricciardi's suggestion. Ms. O'Mahoney
indicated they were trying to move the landscaping back and open up the

intersection, lighting up the intersection from a point father back. It was clarified
that this plan would need approval by both the Village Council and Community
Appearance Board. Discussion ensued regarding approval process for this project,
which was a Homeowners Association with landscape planting that involved the
right-of-way. Ms. O'Mahoney advised that the applicant was not in a hurry since
they were looking for grant sources and other funding. Mr. Newell advised that
any grant would have to be local, since it involved a Village road. Ms. O'Mahoney
indicated the applicant planned to contact Commissioner Karen Marcus for
Riverside Drive because that was a county road. Mr. Newell questioned if it might
work to advise them Seabrook touched County Line Road so they might consider it
a link, because they wanted their section to look like Tequesta. Ms. O'Mahoney
requested information on how to present this to the Village Council and to the
Community Appearance Board. Mr. Newell advised that the permitting process
would pinpoint all concerns.
