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, July 18, 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, Claudette Dalack, and Victor Strahan. Scott Ladd, Building Official, and Steve Kennedy, Deputy Building Official were also in attendance. II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The Agenda was approved as submitted. III. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES (June 27, 1990) The Meeting Minutes of June 27, 1990 were approved as submitted. IV. NEW BUSINESS A) An application from Gary Van Brock, First Union National Bank as Trustee Under Land Trusts 200 and 400, for approval of three temporary development signs for Cypress Ridge subdivision. Photos of the proposed signs were submitted. Chairwoman Cook asked Mr. Van Brock if landscaping at the entrance to the subdivision would be done. Mr. Van Brock explained he is working on an agreement to landscape with trees down Cypress Drive in a joint effort with other condominiums there. Scott Ladd explained it was necessary to consult with Gary Preston of the Tequesta Public Works and Recreation Department regarding placement of those trees. Mr. Ladd further Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes July 18, 1990 Page 2 --------------------------- explained that a landscaping plan for the project had already been submitted and approved. Mr. Van Brock explained that today's application is for three signs, one at 8' x 411, and two at 4' x 41. These signs are temporary and for marketing purposes. Scott Ladd explained that only one sign is allowed, but Mr. Van Brock is seeking approval from the CAB for three signs, and with that approval will go to the Zoning Board of Adjustment to seek a variance to allow all three signs. The reason for three signs is that the subdivision is site locked at the end of Cypress Drive. Therefore, the additional signs are needed for exposure for marketing purposes. Paul Coben moved to approve the application for one 8' x 41sign and two 4' x 4' signs, pending action by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Victor Strahan seconded the motion. The vote was: Victor Strahan - for Claudette Dalack - for Paul Coben - for Leslie Cook - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. B) An application from Marc Haisfield, Haisfield Enterprises, for landscape modifications at Rey West Village Subdivision. Since there was no representative in attendance, it was decided to bring this item up after all other New Business had been discussed. C) An application from Vara R. Hackett, President, Riveredge Development Corp., requesting a change from Floritam sod to Bahia sod at Eastwinds Landing Subdivision. Albert J. Bowden, III, Esquire, of the firm of Scott, Royce, Harris, Bryan & Hyland, Palm Beach Gardens, appeared as representative of Riveredge Development Corp. Mr. Bowden explained that the contractor for the sod mistakenly put in Bahia sod instead of the proposed Floritam sod. It was not something that Riveredge Development Corp. was aware of when it occurred, but after the fact. At this point, Riveredge Development is requesting that the CAB permit the Bahia sod Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes July 18, 1990 Page 3 --------------------------- to stay in, since it will be ripped up anyway when the homes are built. Scott Ladd stated that staff recommends that the CAB allow the Bahia sod, with the condition that it be maintained. Chairwoman Cook asked what will happen to the Bahia sod in the common areas that will not be destroyed because of building? Mr. Bowden suggested the CAB allow Riveredge Development Corp. to decide what they would do about that. Chairwoman Cook asked why there was no landscaping on the corner of the Riveredge Development. Mr. Bowden answered a contractor is presently being sought for that. Paul Coben asked if Floritam was more expensive than Bahia sod. Scott Ladd answered it might be a little more expensive, but Bahia sod has a shelf life whereas Floritam does not. Paul Coben moved to permit Riveredge Development Corp. to maintain the existing sod until such time as they determine they need to replace it with the recommended Floritam sod. Claudette Dalack seconded the motion. The vote was: victor Strahan - for Claudette Dalack - for Paul Coben - for Leslie Cook - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. B) An application from Marc Haisfield, Haisfield Enterprises, for landscape modifications at Key hest Village subdivision. Marc Haisfield called during the course of today's meeting to say that he could not be in attendance and asked that the CAB review his request without him. Scott Ladd suggested that the review not take place without Mr. Haisfield presence since Haisfield Enterprises had made some major unapproved changes to the previously approved landscaping plan at the Key West Village Subdivision. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes July 18, 1990 Page 4 --------------------------- Boardmember Claudette Dalack moved to table the application until the next CAB meeting, but if Mr. Haisfield does not appear for the meeting, Mr. Haisfield would need to reapply. Vice -Chairman Coben seconded the motion. The vote was: Victor Strahan - for Claudette Dalack - for Paul Coben - for Leslie Cook - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS A) Paul Coben asked regarding the status of Tequesta Motor Cars. Scott Ladd reported Mr. Walsh may need more commitments for cars. A Certificate of Occupancy has not yet been issued, but the project is very close to obtaining one. B) Paul Coben congratulated the Building Department on having the banner advertising the Heidelberg Restaurant removed from the truck parked at the Fashion Mall. C) Paul Coben asked if the new sign at Tequesta Plaza for the Walk -In Work -Out business met with the Code. Scott Ladd explained that sign was approved, but that he would be certain to have it measured to be certain it meets the Code. Community Appearance Board xeeting xinutes July 18, 1990 Page S --------------------------- D) Paul Coben informed the Board that a few of the owners at Gallery Square North approached the Village Manager regarding sharing in the cost of the landscaping at Gallery Square North. It was surmised that the problem from the Village standpoint is lack of funds, but the Village was more than willing to work with Gallery Square North property owners regarding the parking lot. E) Chairwoman Cook asked what the Step Saver Waiver represented. Scott Ladd explained that Step Saver was involved in a lawsuit and would not settle with the Village based on the taking of five feet of their south border to be landscaped. This five feet was for the wall with the Tequesta Village sign and the right-of-way expansion and Step Saver would not have been able to meet the Ordinance requirements under the five year amortization schedule without the Waiver, which was an agreement with the Village to allow for that reduction. F) Chairwoman Cook asked for an update on the status of the bankruptcy of County Line Plaza. Scott Ladd stated that was still in limbo. G) Chairwoman Cook asked if the Village was going to do anything to clean up the landscaping in front of the Village Hall. Scott Ladd explained that the Villae Staff is presently addressing that issue. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes July 18, 1990 Page 6 --------------------------- VIZ.
