Ladd, Director of Community Development /17 Date: May 4, 1998 Subject: Ordinance No. 377 Landscape Waiver Request Community Appearance Board Project Recommendation PROJECT: Magyar Properties 390 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta --.-------.------___--- Genrge iites,_Landscape-Architects-------- Tom, attached are 18 packets and plans for the above subject project which was reviewed by the Community Appearance Board on April 15, 1998. The Board reviewed the landscape plans and the requested waivers and expressed the following concerns with the application: O The Board discussed the waiver for the existing 28' entranceway on Tequesta Drive and questioned why a waiver was being requested instead of reducing the size to the required 24'. The Board agreed to the waiver request with the addition of ground cover at the right-of-way entrance on Tequesta Drive. O The Board discussed the waiver request for canopy trees along Tequesta Drive every 30'. The plan calls for two trees in lieu of the required 6. The Board accepted this waiver with an increase in the size of the two oak trees to 14' in height. O The Board discussed the requirement for a hedge for screening the parking area that abuts the large open area on Seabrook Road. The applicant requested a variance for security purposes and added that the owner planned to construct a new building on this section and any landscaping added would have to be removed. Motion to approve the proposed landscaping and waivers with the following revisions: 1. The two oak trees on Tequesta Drive will be 14' overall instead of 12'. 2. Ground covers will be added at the right-of-way entrance on Tequesta Drive and the exit onto Seabrook Road on the north side. Vote on the motion: 5-0 to approve. Staff Comments: See attached memo. Parking for business and professional services is calculated at one parking space per three hundred square foot of gross leasable area: approx. 3100 sq. ft. / 11 parking spaces required / 18 parking spaces provided. 1 PROJECT: 390 Tequesta Drive Magyar Properties Lots 17-20,Block 22,Jupiter in the Pines,Section"B" STAFF COMMENTS REGARDING REQUESTED WAIVERS: Waiver Number Comments 1. There is no valid justification for the waiver,as 28'of width for the entrance off Tequesta Drive is much more than is needed at that location. The Plan indicates that the entrance will be an entrance only(one-way arrow in),with the exit being proposed it Seabrook Road (one-way arrow out). The proposed exit is appoximately 16'in width, therefore;28'for the one-way in entrance off Tequesta Drive is not appropriate or justifiable. Staff recommends reducing the entrance width ------ to-an-appropriate-widt -for-a-one-way-in-entrance. 2. No Comments. 3. There is room at this location to provide more than the two trees indicated on the plan. The code requirement would dictate that at a minimum,three more trees go in for a total of five along the front property line at Tequesta Drive. Staff recommends adding three additional trees to the proposed plan for a total of five trees. 4. There is no valid reason for not installing the required hedge at this location. Staff recommends that the required 24"high hedge be added to the plan. 5. No Comments 6.

However,the water service is located in the asphalt driveway(see plan). If the improvements change and include any type of • asphalt overlay with the existing driveway I would like 48 hrs.notice to relocate the meter. The water service will need a RPZ type backflow preventor. It will have to be located at the first available area outside of the asphalt. • If you have any questions please let me know. • r i R VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA . .a.

Falasz Acting Clerk of the Board /jmb cc: Joseph Magyar Magyar Property 390 Tequesta Drive • Jupiter,FL 33458 Recycled Paper COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES April 15, 1998 Page 2 V. NEW BUSINESS 1. An application from George G. Gentile & Assoc. for review of the landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Magyar Property, 390 Tequesta Drive. Jason Litterick, representing George G. Gentile & Associates, requested approval of six waivers and reviewed the landscape plan. Boardmember Coben questioned why the entranceway was 28 ' wide, to which George Gentile responded that the entranceway already existed and was one-way, and that the extra width was needed to accommodate delivery trucks and to give them a little extra room turning radius just inside the entrance. Mr. Gentile explained that asphalt was being removed and would be replaced with a landscape hedge. Boardmember Coben questioned whether the Board should grant a waiver for a 28' driveway since other precedents were off U.S. Highway One, and this entrance could be tapered. Mr. Gentile explained that nine feet of asphalt in the drive would be removed for the hedge. Mr. Gentile suggested pulling the hedge back and adding groundcover in the corner, possibly Indian Hawthorne, to look like a tiered landscape area at the corner. After discussion regarding what could or could not be placed within the right-of-way, it was agreed to do a landscape grouping on both sides and to keep the 28 ' width. waiver requests were discussed. A change to waiver number 3 was made to increase the size of the two oaks on Tequesta Drive to 14 ' . Mr. Gentile explained that the large open space requested in waiver number 4 was for security purposes since the owner had had break-ins, and since the owner planned to construct a new building on this section of the property, any landscaping added at this time would have to be removed. Boardmember Coben made a motion to accept the application COZMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES April 15, 1998 Page 3 from George G. Gentile & Assoc. for waivers and landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Magyar Property, 390 Tequesta Drive, with the following revisions: (1) The two oak trees on Tequesta Drive will be 14' overall instead of 12 ' ; and (2) Ground covers will be added at the right-of-way entrance on Tequesta Drive and the exit onto Seabrook Road on the north side. Boardmember Dalack seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Vic Strahan - for Paul Coben - for Claudette Dalack - for Molly McCormick - for The motion was therefore approved and adopted. Chair Cook commented that the staff comments provided were very good. Mr. Gentile requested that staff comments be provided to the applicant before the meeting in the future so that responses could be ready. 2. An application from Parker-Yannette Design Group, Landscape Architects, for review of landscape plans for Ordinance 377 compliance for 209 Tequesta Drive, Judith Fagan, property owner. Steve Parker, Landscape Architect with Parker-Yannette Design Group, presented the project and noted that property owner Judith Fagan was present. Mr. Parker explained that one of the waiver requests was that the gross parking area landscaped was under by 4%, but that the front was heavily landscaped. Perimeter trees were proposed, and removing one landscape island in the center of the parking lot was proposed. Boardmember Coben questioned the use for this property, which Mr. Parker explained was to be determined, and at this point the only approval sought was for Ordinance 377 compliance.
