The Tequesta Community Appearance Board held a regularly

Chairwoman Leslie Cook, Claudette Dalack, James Coble, Ruth

II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
The Agenda was approved as submitted.

A) An application from William H. Murphy to enclose a
portion of an existing breezeway for additional office
space at the rear of 384 Tequesta Drive, Gallery Square,
South.
Steve Kennedy, Building Department, and Gary Preston, Parks
Department, were in attendance in regard to this application.
William Murphy, in representation for William H. Murphy,
General Contractor, explained there was an existing breezeway
between two of the buildings at this location which was to be
enclosed and would extend 120 square feet to Marion Taylor's
existing office area. A bay window would be put in to match
existing windows and a recessed doorway for the exit.

--------------------------
Scott Ladd explained that the application triggers some
additional items for the Village:
1) Landscape Ordinance 377, which states that when any
alterations, additions or expansions are done, this
Ordinance must be addressed. Therefore, a landscape
plan, drawn by an architect, would have to be presented
to the Village to comply with this ordinance. The
Ordinance provides that the property owner must provide
a 10-foot landscape buffer from the property line back,
requiring trees every 30 feet. However, that would
eliminate the front row of parking spaces at Gallery
Square, South;
2) There is nothing but a sea of asphalt to buffer the
private residences in the back from the commercial
property.
Gary Preston presented an aerial photo of the Gallery Square,
South shopping area and pointed out that the Village has
proposed to remove all of the asphalt running about 220 feet
in front of the shopping center, put in irrigation and sod,
on a cost -sharing basis with the property owner. Curbing,
with a gutter, at the intersection of Tequesta Drive and
Seabrook Road has been discussed. This would allow all of the
runoff from the roadway to run into the grassed area, solving
some of the drainage problems in that area. It is expected
that the cost of the whole project would be around $20,00.
Mr. Murphy stated that the property owner feels this creates
an undue hardship. Mr. Ladd reminded the Board that this
problem would have to be addressed sooner or later, and would
be less expensive to address it now. Gallery Square, South
now has 23% of their area covered with buildings, 69%
impervious surface (asphalt -walkways), and 7.62% green space.
The Code requires 15% green space in the parking area alone.
Ninety-two percent of the property is covered with buildings
and asphalt.

VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS
A) Chairwoman Cook asked if there was anything the Board
could do regarding the landscaping at the property
located at the southwest corner of Tequesta and Cypress
Drives. Mr. Ladd explained that the issue will be
addressed under Landscape Ordinance No. 377 in four
years, but unless remodeling of the property takes place
before then, there is nothing that can be done.
Chairwoman Cook proposed to write a letter, as a
representative of the CAB, to the property owners,
appealing to their community goodwill to work with the
Village on making their building and property more
aesthetic.
VII. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the Board, the meeting
was adjourned at 10:40 A.M.
