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, September 30, 1992 . The meeting was called to order by Chairwoman Leslie Cook at 9: 30 A.M. Community Appearance Board members present were: Chairwoman Leslie Cook, Vice Chairman Paul Coben, Victor Strahan, Claudette Dalack, Peter Pallatto and Ruth Maitland. Steve Kennedy, Deputy Building Official, sat in for Scott Ladd, Clerk of the Board. II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The Agenda was approved as submitted. III. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES (September 23, 1992) A. The Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes of September 23, 1992 were approved as submitted. • IV. NEW BUSINESS 1. An application from American Awning Co. , to install a 27 ' x 14.5 ' turquoise canvas awning on the northeast side of The Jewish Mother, 236 U.S. One South. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 30, 1992 Page 2 Mike Colaprete, owner of The Jewish Mother, was in attendance. He explained that the original plan submitted was to do an addition on the north side. He and his partner have since decided, for economic reasons, to do a temporary patio installation in this location.. This would be a quick and inexpensive temporary solution to the original plans. Hopefully, next year, they would be in a better position to consider the permanent addition. The footings, etc. will be prepared for the permanent construction, except that the wall will stop at the new proposed wall height. The awning covered area will have roll-up plastic curtains for protection from inclement weather. Todd Moran, of American Awning, arrived at 9: 38 a.m. Boardmember Dallack expressed concern regarding the landscaping, stating that it appears to be neglected, that there appears to be no irrigation system, and that the grass is not being cut regularly. Mr. Colaprete explained that the landscaping is part of the previously approved second phase of construction, but that those unattended issues are now being attended. Steve Kennedy informed the Board that the Village really has limited authority over the landscaping until the five-year amortization expires as explained in the Landscape Ordinance, or until the most recent Site Plan approval becomes completed. This proposed application is a modification to the Phase II portion of the previously submitted Site Plan. Mr. Colaprete stated that as soon as he receives full approval for this proposed application, he will start by removing the tarmac (the driveway) all around the front, removing the curbing and replacing some with landscaping. • Mr. Colaprete explained that a new wall would be installed from the front of the building to the very back of the existing overhang - making a new north wall. The west area will be closed off with some type of lattice working or California blind type of louvers to allow the air to circulate. Vice-Chairman Coben pointed out that no west elevation is depicted on the Site Plan for that change. Steve Kennedy pointed out that the north elevation and the west elevation are not shown on the Site Plan. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 30, 1992 Page 3 Vice-Chairman Coben moved to approve the present application, with the above-referenced modifications, with the understanding that the drawings be changed, prior to Site Plan Review by the Village Council, to reflect all changes that are proposed, and further that the Community Appearance Board approval is subject to the full-scaled landscaping plan being implemented with this proposed change to the previously approved Phase II project. Boardmember Strahan seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Peter Pallatto - for Paul Coben - for Victor Strahan - for Claudette Dalack - for Ruth Maitland - for Leslie Cook - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Chairwoman Cook commented that the front hedge at Tequesta Shoppes has died. Steve Kennedy reported that the shopping center manager told him that a soil engineer has been hired to determine what caused the death of that hedge. Chairwoman Cook asked Mr. Kennedy to suggest to the manager to use Eugenia to avoid future problems. VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS Chairwoman Cook noted that there was a new Committee appointed by Village Council to consider the old K-Mart shopping plaza, stating that she felt it would be detrimental to the Village if low-income apartments were placed there. Wade Griest questioned the Board regarding the last meeting which involved an individual application to install a satellite dish in his back yard. The Board approved the installation on the basis that the homeowner would get letters of approval from adjoining property owners. Mr. Griest, at that CAB meeting, questioned whether a citation and ruling received by that property owner from the Code Enforcement Board for illegally installing a satellite dish without prior approval should be shared with the Community Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 30, 1992 Page 4 Appearance Board during their consideration of the property owners application to install the satellite dish. Scott Ladd, Clerk of the Board, informed Mr. Griest at that time that would be "mixing apples and oranges" . Vice Chairman Coben stated that as long as the dish is suitably screened from vision of the street, and approval letters have ,been received from surrounding neighbors, the Community Appearance Board requirements have been met, and any other problems that concern the Code Enforcement Board must be directed to the Code Enforcement Board. Mr. Griest also discussed the qualifications of members on the Community Appearance Board and asked if, as required, there are any architects on the Board. Chairwoman Cook responded that if one is a citizen of Tequesta, with an interest in the community, they automatically qualify to serve on the Board. Mr. Griest stated that he felt, prior to any meetings, the Boardmembers ought to discover whether requirements that need to be met by ,any applicant have, in fact, been met. Chairwoman Cook felt that was unnecessary since Scott Ladd, the Building Official, attends most CAB meetings and can be asked at that time what Codes and requirements are not being met. VII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 10:45 A.M.
