' From the June 10, 1992 meeting, review of the color rendering of the proposed mural for the north end of the Rinker Materials batch plant perimeter privacy wall. Julie Baum, on behalf of area art students, whose application at the June 10 meeting was tabled until she returned with a sketch of the proposed mural to be painted on the north end of Rinker Materials batch plant perimeter privacy wall, today returned with that proposed sketch. The sketch consisted of local water life, the area lighthouse, with parts depicting history of Tequesta. Ms. Baum stated she would be conferring with Jim Dutton of Classic Paints regarding the types of paints that should be used. Also, a sealer will be put on top of the paints for better endurance. July 18 will be the start date. Vice Chairman Coben moved to approve the application and the sketch as submitted. Boardmember Strahan seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Peter Pallatto - for Leslie Cook - for Paul Coben - for Victor Strahan - for Ruth Maitland - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. IV. NEW BUSINESS A. An application from Dean B. Ellis, A.I.A. , Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners for the Tequesta Branch Library, a one-story, 4000sq. ft. CBS building, including landscaping, site lighting, privacy/buffer wall, parking, walkways and signage. Carey Molton, Palm Beach County Architectural Division; William Wilsher, Superintendent - Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department; and, Lynn Thompson, Special Projects Engineer - Palm Beach County Construction Department were in attendance in representation of the above-referenced application. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes July 1, 1992 Page 3 Mr. Molton explained that the proposed Tequesta Branch Library is a 4,000 square foot prototype re-design of the South Bay Branch Library. The facility will be a CBS structure, with exterior design of stucco with a standing seam metal roof, barrel arches on the light lexan (like plexiglass) elements on the front. Building identity signage will be on each side of the building, while hopefully placing signage at the entrance, perhaps incorporated with the park signage. Bite Plan: The ingress and egress of the main driveway has been double-laned, allowing for entrance and exit. A turn- around space at the end of the parking lot is provided. Review by Scott Ladd proved that the proposed traffic flow pattern has met all Village criteria. A color rendering of the proposed facility was submitted to the Board. The building is a cream/beige, with a standing seam metal roof. A sample of the roof material was not submitted. The actual roofing material will be chosen when the contract actually goes to bid and award, since each manufacturer may have a slightly different colored material. At that point a sample will be submitted for the Village's approval. However, the roofing material will be similar to that at Driftwood Plaza, but in a rust-type color. The signage on the building will be stand-off brushed aluminum, bronze in color, raised off the building, lighted from the ground. The columns will be painted, a shade darker than the building, with down lights in the soffets at each column location. Landscaping: An attempt is being made to keep some Sand Pines, Palmettos, etc. Some plant materials (basically Coco Plum, Mercene) will also be added to that area. The Board questioned whether the Coco Plum was a good choice, since it did not appear hardy during the last freeze, as well as whether the Crynum Lily was a good selection. Mr. Wilshire suggested that Chinese Fan Palm be used in place of Crynum Lily. Mr. Wilsher explained that there would be a certain time guarantee by the landscaper when landscaping is done, and after the guarantee time runs out, the Library assumes the responsibility under contract. The Board requested that the Bahia Grass be replaced with Floritam as in the adjacent park. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes July 1, 1992 • Page 4 Lighting: The parking lot will be lighted. Steve Kennedy voiced a concern of Scott Ladd regarding a requirement for a buffer wall. The Village Zoning Code requires a buffer wall between residential and commercial uses. The Board agreed that aesthetically that would not be a good idea in this instance. The Board further concurred that it would prefer to determine what •kind of buffer was needed after the building is constructed. Boardmember Strahan moved to approve the application as submitted, subject to changing Crynum Lily to Chinese Fan Palm and changing Bahia Grass to Floritam. Vice Chairman Coben seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Peter Pallatto - for Leslie Cook - for Paul Coben - for Victor Strahan - for Ruth Maitland - against the motion was therefore passed and adopted. Ms. Thompson stated that construction should start around the end of this year. VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS A) Chairwoman Cook reported she had scheduled a tentative meeting with County Officials on July 10, 1992 regarding landscaping near Rinker Materials location. Boardmembers Strahan and Coben suggested that. she take one more look at the landscaping before firming up a meeting, since all of the recent rains have revived most of the vegetation originally thought to be lost. B) , Chairwoman Cook voiced a concern of .'a local citizen (William Treacy) regarding Shay Place. The complaint concerned trees removed by the Village, an unfinished, unsightly concrete retainer wall which has been placed there, as well as a wooden fence. The fence has since been removed. Steve Kennedy stated that the retaining wall is the extent of the right of way and all property on the other side is private property, zoned single family, thereby beyond the scope of the Community Appearance Board. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes July 1, 1992 Page 5 C) Wade Griest asked if the Village is in any way holding up the progress of the Jewish Mother Restaurant, since the property owners have appeared to stop work on their driveway and roof, and have opened the business as is. Steve Kennedy reminded the Board that the construction is in two phases. All work done to this point has practically nothing to do with the Site Plan Reviews. The Site Plan Review and all additional improvements that need to be done are tied to the construction of the addition. All requirements were met for them to open. VII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 10:50 A.M.
