Ladd, Director of Community Development Date: February 3, 1998 Subject: Ordinance No. 377 Landscape Waiver Request Community Appearance Board Project Recommendation PROJECT: Tequesta Motor Cars Property 746 U.S. One North, Tequesta William E. Burckart, as Agent for Owner William A. Flint, Ill, Landscape Architect Tom, attached are 18 packets and plans for the above subject project which was reviewed by the Community Appearance Board on November 19, 1997. The Board reviewed the landscape plans and the. requested waivers and expressed the following concerns with the application: O The Board was told that the property was in the process of being purchased by a new owner and that it was not known whether the new owner would remodel or demolish and rebuild. O The Board was advised that the landscaping would be done in 3 phases, with Phase 1, which is the area adjacent to U.S. One, being completed within 45 days of permitting. (A building permit is required within 30 days of notice of Council action.) O The Board discussed the rear parking area, which it was felt looked like a "football field", and the code requirement for the 5' landscape buffer between the parking rows. They were told that this area was needed for the car carrier transport trucks. O The Board discussed the use of ground covers in lieu of sod in the landscape buffer along the rear property line. O The Board was advised that the proposed fence along the rear property line would be 6' high chain link with slats and would be 100% opaque. Motion to approve the proposed landscaping and waivers with the revision that all sod in Phase Ill shall be replaced with dune (beach) sunflower, and with the following waivers: 1. Hedge next to existing service building should be 5' wide, it is only 4' to 3' wide due to placement of existing building. Page 2 CAB Project Review Tequesta Motor Cars Property 2. The landscape islands on the main driveway approach and at the end of the terminal islands, a total of 4 locations, in the front parking lot are only 3' wide instead of the required 6' width. This has been done to accommodate truck traffic. Due to the small width,'there are no trees provided in these areas but we do provide for a tree at the end of the landscape strip instead, a net shortfall of 4 trees. 3. The 5' divider medians called for in the rear parking lot, a total of 3, are not provided. This is due to the problems of truck loading and unloading and access through the rear lot storage area. This is not a customer area. We provided a 15' rear landscape strip, where 5' is required and islands which are 8' - 9' in width to compensate for this. (10' landscape strip required at rear where property abuts residential area) 4. The rear parking lots westernmost parking row does not have a landscape island. This was compensated for by the excess 15' buffer provided. This a storage area only and does not provide for customer access. 5. The landscape strip required on the east, part of the north, and south sides of the building is missing due to showroom access on the east side, door access on the north, and traffic access on the south side. • Vote on the motion: 5-0 to approve. Staff Comments: In addition to the above listed waivers, the following deficiencies/waivers should be noted: 1. The landscape buffer on the east side of the service building is 3.5' in lieu of 4' as the code requires. 2. Terminal landscape islands at the end of parking rows are required by code in two additional locations in the front parking lot, and trees are required in two existing terminal landscape islands in the rear parking area. 3. The entrance driveway off U.S. One is 30', which is in excess of the 24' maximum allowed by code. 4. Code Enforcement action has been taken and a lien placed on this property per the attached memo. V; �, is To: Joanne Burnsed, Department of Community Development From: Sergeant John Irovando, Code Enforcement Officer Date: Tuesday, February 3, 1998 Subject: Tequesta Motor Cars, 746 US Hwy One.

WILLIAM E. BURCKART& ASSOCIATES REAL ESTATE SERVICES 561-575-5400 Fax 575-7705 October 15, 1997 Mr. Scott Ladd Village of Tequesta 357 Tequesta Drive Tequesta,Fla. 33469 • Dear Scott: Enclosed is the Community appearance Board application and waiver form for the rehabilitation of landscaping at Tequesta Motor Cars property located at 746 U.S. Hwy One, as required by the Special Master. As this property has a number exceptions which it was not able to meet at the original time of submittal,these still exist today. When first approved,the site plan and landscape plan were designed to comply with the new Landscape Ordinance, as it existed at that time. This was the first property in the Village which was approved according to the guidelines found in Ordinance 377. Because of this,we believe we were not subject to the requirements of going back through the retrofitting required by Ord. 377. At that time the Village Council and the Community Appearance Board approved this project,there were several requirements which could not be met, and others which were met by other means. As such these exceptions(variances)were part The first exceptions(variances)to the plan were due to site design, and by the existing remodeled buildings placement on the property. The property contains all concrete parking areas. 1. The required 5' perimeter boundary,north and south,was not met in the area of the existing service building as that building is two and three feet off the property line. This is the only area where this occurs. Shown in chart as#3. 2. The landscape islands on the front approach are less than six feet which was done to accommodate the large delivery trucks which will be using this property. This is the same situation as found on the two terminal landscape islands located in the front parking lot and the four islands in the rear. #2 3. The rear parking lot (which is a storage area for the inventoried cars)does not have landscape strips between the head on parking because of the manner in which the delivery trucks unload the cars and exit from the property. #1 4. The landscape island in the center of the western most row of parking was not required as this was addressed by creating a 15' landscape strip(5' required) at the rear of the property(where it abuts an apartment complex) so that additional screening could be provided. The combined landscape strip on both properties exceeds thirty feet. The chain link fence will be filled with slats for the opaque requirement. #4 • 5. The landscape strips which are missing along the showroom building are done to accommodate traffic around the building and to provide access for parking of cars in the showroom. #5 It is the intent of the current owners to perform this project in a phased build out. The area exposed to US One (phase I)will be upgraded now(within 45 days of the building permit being issued),the areas surrounding the building(phase II), and the rear parking lot (phase III), will be upgraded when the building is reconstructed. We expect this to occur prior to in early 1998. Please advise me of the meeting schedule and of any changes you feel we should be ready • to make prior at the meeting_ We would also appreciate a copy of the'Draft"Staff report as soon as it is prepared. We can make additional arrangement after the draft is reviewed to pick up the final staff report going to the Board. We look forward to working with you ' • and to the improvements we are asking to make. erely, /it is .

Burckart&Associates 169 Tequesta Drive, Suite 12E Tequesta,FL 33469 RE: Community Appearance Board Action Landscape Plans for Ord. 377 Compliance Tequesta Motor Cars-746 U.S. One North,Tequesta Dear Bill: This letter is to confirm the action of the Village of Tequesta Community Appearance Board at their November 19, 1997,meeting approving Landscape Plan Job No. 97-234, dated 10-23-97 as drawn by William A. Flint, III,Landscape Architect with the following modification: 1. Change out the sod in Phase III to Beach Sunflowers for ground cover. As you are aware, this project must be reviewed by the Village Council for approval of the requested landscape waivers and upon receipt of 3 additional copies of the plan(2 full size and one 11" X 17" reduction), will be placed on the agenda of the next available Council meeting. You and /or your representative will need to be in attendance at this meeting to present your application to the Council. Very truly yours, tAr KJ Scott D. Ladd Clerk of the Board SDL/jmb Recycled Paper COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 19, 1997 PAGE 6 and suggested finding a better way of hiding it; commented that the hedge on the west was sparse and some needed replacement plants; and commented that the hedge behind the dumpster was beautiful. The Landscape Architect for the project explained that the west hedge was on a berm that tended to dry out, and that it might also have an irrigation problem. Chair Cook suggested using more flowers in front to create a happier looking facility. Clerk of the Board Scott D. Ladd advised that the Village Council had requested addition of benches in the courtyard for patron use. Boardmember Coben made a motion to accept the application for the construction of Sterling House II, a 42-unit extended care facility, 211 Village Blvd. , directly behind the existing Sterling Souse, as submitted. 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. 111111140 4. An application from William Burckart, as agent for owner, for review of landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Tequesta Motor Cars, 764 U.S. One North. William Burckart explained that this property was in the process of being purchased by a new owner, and he did not know whether the new owner would remodel the building or demolish it and construct a new building. Mr. Burckart commented that this property had been approved in 1988 when Ordinance 377 was being written, and it had been designed to comply and had been granted waivers for areas COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 19, 1997 PAGE 7 which could not comply. Mr. Burckart requested a phased landscaping plan in which the front portion would be installed right away, and in the event of sale then the new owner would have the option of changing phases 2 and 3 if he desired, and changes would come back to the Village for approval along with the building changes. Clerk of the Board Ladd advised the Board not to consider what might happen, but to base their approval on the plan as presented. Mr. Burckart explained that phases 2 and 3 would be done simultaneously, and pointed out the phasing areas on the plan. Phase I : The area exposed to U.S. One would be upgraded within 45 days of the building permit being issued; Phase II: the areas surrounding the building; and Phase III: the rear parking lot, to be upgraded when the building was reconstructed early in 1998 . Mr. Ladd advised that this was a reasonable phasing plan, however, it should be made clear that all phases must be completed whether or not the property was sold. William A. Flint III, Landscape Architect for the project, discussed the proposed landscaping plant materials, which included silver buttonwoods, queen palms, laurel oaks, and cocoplum. Vice Chair Strahan commented that the Phase III improvements to the large rear parking lot would be seen only by the adjacent neighbor unless neighboring property was developed in the future, and objected to a large concrete area that looked . like a football field. Mr. Burckart explained that the car carrier transport trucks needed the large parking lot in order to negotiate necessary turns to come in and off- load automobiles. Clerk of the Board Scott D. Ladd explained that what was missing were planters between parking rows from island to island and suggested that the required islands could be installed between the terminal islands on the ends, or if not, then waivers would need to be requested. Mr. Burckart explained that trees and a hedge would be added along the property line and that the applicant was really concerned about having space to COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 19, 1997 PAGE 8 allow maneuverability for large trucks. Boardmember Dalack suggested that ground covers be used under trees instead of the proposed sod. After discussion, beach sunflower was agreed upon for the groundcover. Mr. Burckart explained that the proposed fence would be chain link with slats inserted on the side next to the residential area. Boardmember Coben made a motion to accept the landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Tequesta Motor Cars, 764 U.S. One North with the revision that all sod in Phase III shall be replaced with dune (beach) sunflower, and with the following waivers: 1. Hedge next to existing service building should be 5' wide, it is only 4' to 3 ' wide due to placement of existing building. 2. The landscape island on the main driveway approach, and at the end of the terminal islands, a total of 4 locations, in the front parking lot are only 3' wide instead of the required 6' width. This has been done to accommodate truck traffic. Due to the small width, there are no trees provided in these areas but we do provide for a tree at the end of the landscape strip instead, a net shortfall of 4 trees. 3. The 5' divider medians called for in the rear parking lot, a total of 3 are not provided. This is due to the problems of truck loading and unloading and access through the rear lot storage area. This is not a customer area. We provided a 15' rear landscape strip, where 5' is required and islands which are 8' - 9 ' in width to compensate for this. 4. The rear parking lots westernmost parking row does not have a landscape island. This was compensated COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD ' MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 19, 1997 PAGE 9 for by the excess 15' buffer provided. This is a storage area only and does not provide for customer access. 5. The landscape strip required on the east, part of the north and south sides of the building is missing due to showroom access on the east side, door access on the north, and traffic access on the south side. Vice Chair Strahan 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. VI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS In response to inquiry by Chair Cook, Clerk of the Board Scott D. Ladd explained that there were three Ordinance 377 applications being processed, that everyone had applied, and that those remaining were still in various stages. The progress which had been made by Barnett Bank was discussed. In regard to Tequesta Plaza, Clerk of the Board Ladd advised that the property was under contract for sale but was not yet closed, and that the potential new owners had already hired the firm of George Gentile and Associates to provide a landscaping plan. Councilmember Carl Hansen, who was present in the audience, explained that the Village had wanted to purchase the Tequesta Plaza property but the price had been $1.2 million, while it had been appraised at only $1 million. Vice Chair Strahan reported that workers at the Rinker plant had been digging up beds and replacing plants. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 19, 1997 PAGE 10 Boardmember Coben commented that the Stop & Shop store looked nice except for the dumpster, and questioned whether it was proper to contract the Code Enforcement Officer directly or if the Village Manager should be contacted. Councilmember Hansen advised that as a citizen, any member of the Board could talk to any police officer about any code violation they had seen, and they did not need to go through Village administration. VII. ANY OTHER MATTERS Boardmember Coben questioned Vice Mayor Hansen regarding the Charles Martyn Gala. Vice Mayor Hansen explained that the Village Council wanted to promote the event, which was a fundraiser for the new Public Safety facilities, and that the new facilities would be hurricane hardened to withstand a category 3 hurricane.
