To date no particular restaurant has been decided upon. Scott Ladd explained—the - restaurant restaurant was designed to stand alone since it is an outparcel . The intent was to be certain the parking, the setbacks , and the lot coverage for each of these parcels could stand on its own . LANDSCAPING: Scott Ladd briefed the Board on .Ordinance 377 , Landscape Code, stating that because of the Comprehensive Plan and the Growth Management Act the State is imposing , the Village has to lean more towards native plants and xeriscape landscaping, informing the Board they should try to stay away from exotic plants . Kevin Cabaioli , Landscape Architect for the project, explained a warm, subtropical landscaping theme was the object. The 60% minimum native plant requirement was met. For the main perimeter landscape buffer, Pidgeon Plum (a relative of the Sea Grape ) was used . The entrance was accented with Queen • Palms, tying it in with the Village's U.S . Highway One streetscape. , A large Phoenix Reclinata was used at the southwest corner- of the entrance_ canopy. It was noted that concentric ..._ -ircles . ..were- - needed- on-the Site Plan to designate size at time of planting. Several Sable and Coconut Palms were used in the courtyard area. Leslie Cook was concerned whether the cocoplum being used to block out the K-Mart shopping plaza would be thick enough and hardy enough. Mr. Cabaioli explained he was concerned about maintaining the 60% requirement, as the cocoplum is a native plant. • Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes January 10, 1990 Page 3 • • Scott Ladd pointed out to the Board that where the retaining wall separates ' the property from County Line Plaza, a 7-foot elevation difference between the two properties exists .
