NEW BUSINESS 1) An application from SignCraft, Inc. to renovate the existing main pylon sign for Village Square Shopping Center, 219-289 U.S. One, South, to bring it into compliance with the sign code. Renovated sign to be 201 high, with a 60 square foot sign area. Ernest Toth, Jr. , of SignCraft, Inc. , was in attendance in representation of the above-referenced application. Scott Ladd informed the Board that the applicant has been informed and given a copy of the Village Code which states all other non-conforming signs must first be removed before this sign can be erected. The new sign will be in the same location as the old, with the required 10-foot setback. Though the Community Appearance Board cannot govern the names of business or places, the Board was concerned that the Plaza would be re-named "Blockbuster Plaza". When the Board inquired as to landscaping, Mr. Toth read to the Board a memo he had received from the management at Village Square, stating that it was management's intent to install, after the erection of the sign, new or revitalized landscaping at the base of the sign pylon where there now exists a planter. The management agreed that all landscaping would either meet or exceed all Village Code requirements. However, no specific plan was submitted. The Board felt the sign had no relationship with, and was inconsistent in appearance with the plaza building. The Board felt further that if the sign had a straight column effect, as is displayed at the plaza, it would be more in keeping with ' what is acceptable. Mr. Toth presented to the Board a design sketch he had previously presented to the management, which displayed more closely the look being sought by the Board; however, the management chose not to select that rendition. Mr. Toth agreed to go back to the plaza, take pictures, re- design the sign for re-presentation to the management at Village Square.

Boardmember Claudette Dalack seconded the motion. Claudette Dalack - for Steve Parker - for Vic Strahan - for Paul Coben - for Leslie Cook - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. 2) An application from the Village of Tequesta for improvements to Gallery Square North shopping center and adjacent right-of-way improvements along Tequesta Drive. Gary Preston, Department of Parks and Recreation, explained the desire to have improvements to Gallery Square North similar to those which took place at Gallery Square South. At Gallery Square North, asphalt would be cut out of the right-of-way, changing the ingress and egress of the shopping center. The entrance will be changed to one central location. A five-foot sidewalk, irrigation system, sodding and curbing and gutter will be installed. Ten additional parking spaces will be added to the parking lot. Also, a new shopping center sign will be erected, with seafoam green color to match the building, as submitted to the CAB. Vice Chairman Strahan moved to approve the application as submitted. Boardmember Dalack seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Claudette Dalack - for Steve Parker - for Vic Strahan - for Paul Coben - for Leslie Cook - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. V.

ANY OTHER MATTERS o Vice Chairman Strahan and Boardmember Coben suggested that a revised Agenda not be presented to CAB Boardmembers as they arrive for a meeting, as happened today, since they need to be given proper time to adequately review applications which are submitted. o Chairwoman Cook presented to Boardmembers a letter drafted to the Jupiter/Tequesta Rotary Club thanking them for their tree donation for Tequesta's Arbor Day. The Board approved the letter. o Paul Coben suggested that the unpainted stucco wall next to Goodners Variety Store be painted to become more aesthetic. o Chairwoman Cook suggested a letter be written to ENCON asking them to improve the landscaping at their location on the corner of Old Dixie Highway and Tequesta Drive.
