I. CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL
The Tequesta Community Appearance Board held a regularly
scheduled meeting at the Village Hall, 357 Tequesta Drive,
Tequesta, Florida, on Wednesday, August 8, 1990. The meeting
was called to order by Chairwoman Leslie Cook at 9:35 A.M.
Community Appearance Board members present were: Vice -
Chairman Paul Coben, James Coble, Ruth Maitland, and Victor
Strahan. Steve Kennedy, Deputy Building Official was also in
attendance.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
The Agenda was approved as submitted.
III. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES (July le, 1990)
The Meeting Minutes of July 18, 1990 were approved as
submitted.
IV. NEW BUSINESS
A) An application from Marc Haisfield, Haisfield
Enterprises, for landscape modifications at Key West
village Subdivision.
Steve Kennedy explained that the Building Department recently
did the final walk-through at Key West Village in order for
Tequesta to accept the subdivision; that acceptance has not
yet taken place, since it was apparent that the existing
landscaping did not conform to the approved Landscaping Plan.
Therefore, the owners were informed that they would either
have to conform to the approved Landscape Plan, or present a
revised plan before the Community Appearance Board.

--------------------------
Mr. Haisfield explained that he felt his landscaping was
complete, and has put in everything that he would like to put
in, and would like to see it approved as is. He felt there
was a bit of confusion between him, his landscape architect
Bart Cook, and the Community Appearance Board. It was Mr.
Haisfield's understanding that the landscaping would be done
according to the approved plan, and if there were any
modifications, that would be up to Bart Cook, which accounts
for those changes that do not comply with the approved plans.
Mr. Haisfield did not understand he was to come back before
the CAB for those modifications. He submitted a letter to the
Building Department describing most of the modifications. He
explained there was no revised landscape plan. He further
explained that many of the modifications took place after the
freeze. Everything Mr. Haisfield plans to plant, is already
planted. The Black Olives were replaced with Live Oaks. Mr.
Haisfield explained that much of what had been previously
planted died as a result of the freeze. He also explained
there are fewer lots now than originally approved. The only
approved landscape plan is with the original lots.
Victor Strahan felt the entrance way looked rather exposed,
as well as the area in front of Lot 1, with no landscaping.
Mr. Haisfield stated the money set aside for landscaping has
been spent three times now in replacement, so further
landscaping would be a financial burden. He reminded the
Board that anything bushy planted there would pose a problem
for delivery trucks entering the shopping center. Chairwoman
Cook asked what happened to the Wax Myrtles that were to be
located there. Mr. Haisfield responded those were changed to
Queen Palms. Chairwoman Cook was not certain that was
acceptable.
Steve Kennedy asked if the Deed Restrictions require minimum
landscaping for each lot, and explained that the Board would
probably be more interested in the entrance way and common
areas. Mr. Haisfield answered the Deed Restrictions do
require minimum landscaping for each lot and that the number
of lots has been changed from 96 to 24 lots, with 0 lot lines.
Mr. Kennedy explained that the owners would like to see the
subdivision accepted very soon, but that inspection of the
landscaping is part of that approval. Therefore, since the
present landscaping plan does not match what has been planted,
a determination will need to be made by the Board whether what
exists is acceptable, or if changes need to be made.

--------------------------
Vice-Chairman Paul Coben moved that the Board approve, on a
'temporary basis (for a period of three months), the as -built
landscaping for Key West Village, with the understanding that
the Developer will present to the CAB a comprehensive revised
landscape plan which allows for phased improvement to the
installation, based on the incremental sale of lots.
Boardmember Coble seconded the motion. The vote was:
James Coble - for
Leslie Cook - for
Victor Strahan - for
Ruth Maitland - for
Paul Coben - for
the motion was therefore passed and adopted.
V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
There was no unfinished business.
VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS
A) Paul Coben asked if there was any enforcement of signs
inside local store windows. Steve Kennedy explained that
Scott Ladd and Village Attorney Randolph felt it was not
worthwhile pursuing since past history of losing court
cases concerning these matters, and further explained
that the Code does allow for a certain percentage of the
inside glass area to be covered. James Coble and
Chairwoman Cook felt that regardless of lawsuits in the
past, a warning still ought to be given to violators.
B) Steve Kennedy informed the Board that renovations to the
parking lot at Gallery Square North are taking place.
C) Chairwoman Cook noted, for the record, that she
approached Village Staff regarding the Cocoa Plums
planted on Tequesta Drive stating they will have to be
covered in case of a freeze, since these plants are not
freeze tolerant.
