Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes April 15, 1992 Page 2 IV. NEW BUSINESS A. An Application from Michael Colaprete for an 836 square foot addition, removal of the existing drive-thru, landscaping and new signage for The Jewish Mother, 236 U.S. Highway One, South. • Michael Colaprete and Peter Russo, Metro Design Group, were in attendance in representation of the above-referenced application. Mr. Colaprete explained that the nature of the business is an upscale family restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a take-out deli department and a lounge with a full liquor license and a seating capacity of 150. The restaurant has another 18-year old location in Virginia Beach, Virginia with plans to expand, and plans of opening five more , locations in 1992 . Peter Russo explained that the proposal is to enclose the canopy, clean up the exterior of the • building • making it unified, remove the drive-thru lane and replace it with landscaping with a new planter around the perimeter of the building, restore parking with a planter on the end on the west side of the building which was originally taken out to accommodate the drive-thru. All of the visible brick areas (north, south and east sides) will be re-stuccoed. The brick on the west side will be pressure cleaned and painted the same white as the rest of the building. The proposal includes a white building with turquoise trim. The roof at the back of the building is white fiberglass shingles - the rest of the roof will be parapet square.. The roof from the front of the building is not visible because of the proposed 14 foot high mansard stucco wall. The windows will be glass block. The proposed landscaping is rather extensive. There is a shortage of landscaping between the parking spaces and the property line as it exists. To compensate for that, applicant proposes to replace all saw-tooth parking spaces with vegetation, all parking lot areas with yellow hash marks will be landscaped. The Village Ordinance requires five feet on each property line. A Waiver is being sought for this non-conformance. Fifty-five parking spaces exist - 50 are required. Linda Colaprete explained the landscaping plan to the Board. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes April 15, 1992 Page 3 Chairwoman Cook felt the roof treatment was not very attractive and that the application entailed major changes to the building. She further 'explained that Tequesta is trying to maintain a continuity of a Mediterranean, south Florida look and the proposed art nouveau look for this building is too much a departure from everything Tequesta is trying to coordinate. Mr. Russo explained that the applicant was aware of, and not opposed to, what the Village is trying to accomplish; however, applicant is trying to not only blend in but trying to keep from getting lost on the street, as well, hoping to give the building a signature of its own. He further stated that if a Mediterranean look was to be used as opposed to the proposed 'Miami Beach style' , (i.e. , an acceptable architectural standard) the whole design,would have to be changed. Mr. Colaprete explained that if the Board could view the structure as he does (with his engineering- architectural background) , with a three-dimensional viewpoint, they would see that this proposal is not a total departure from the look of the immediate area. The Board was opposed to a stark white building with turquoise trim, concerned that it would stick out too much in the surrounding area and that it did not blend with the architectural theme of Tequesta. Mr. Colaprete asked that the Board give him direction as to what they would find acceptable regarding building colors and architecture. Chairwoman Cook suggested applicant eliminate the stucco parapet wall, make the outside brick white, choose a new roof material, change the exterior color scheme, and adapt the free-standing sign. Scott Ladd suggested that since there seems to be some disagreement regarding changes to the outside of the building, that applicant phase the project so that at least it could be open for business in the interim. Applicant agreed that was a good idea. Peter Pallatto left the meeting at 10:55 A.M. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes April 15, 1992 Page 4 • Vice Chairman Coben moved that the application be tabled until applicant can submit revised renderings. Boardmember Dalack seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Ruth Maitland - for Paul Coben - for Claudette Dalack - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) Boardmember Maitland stated that she felt the blue that appears on the Palm Beach Cafe sign was not the shade approved by the Board. VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS A) Boardmember Dalack asked if the Village had a memorial fund to which persons could donate monies for landscaping as a memorial. It was suggested that she consult with the Village Manager regarding such a fund. B) Chairwoman Cook suggested she is considering writing a letter to Rinker Materials Corp. regarding their landscaping facing Old Dixie Highway. Scott Ladd explained that the construction recently done there by the county to the road has adversely hampered the landscaping that once existed. Mrs. Cook felt that perhaps Commissioner Karen Marcus ought to be the one contacted. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes April 15, 1992 Page 5 VII.
