Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes January 22, 1992 Page 3 V. NEW BUSINESS A. An application from the Village of Tequesta for North Cypress Drive streetscape, planting of 39 live oaks in the right-of-way from 406-435 Cypress Drive. Gary Preston, Director of Public Works and Recreation, Rick Gomes, President of Wendimere Villas Condominium Association, and Ruth Perry of George Gentile & Associates were in attendance in representation of this application. Gary Preston explained that in a joint project together with Windimere Condo. Association, the Village is proposing to plant trees along North Cypress Drive up to Cypress Ridge. The trees will be placed 10 feet off the roadway. Trees known to have a slower growth rate (preferably Live Oak) were chosen because of overhead power lines on that street. The project will be phased and done in conjunction with other housing projects on Cypress Drive. The trees would be maintained by the Village of Tequesta. Scott Ladd explained that the trees will be coordinated with the Tequesta streetscape program. Vice-Chairman Coben moved to approve the application as submitted. Boardmember Maitland seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Victor Strahan - for Paul Coben - for Peter Pallatto - for Ruth Maitland - for Claudette Dalack - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. B. An application from J.J. Gumberg Co. , Gene Brooks of Sunny State Nursery & Landscape Co. as agent, for landscaping at Tequesta Shoppes, 105-185 U.S. Highway One, North, to meet the requirements of the Village Landscape Ordinance #377. Gene Brooks was in attendance in representation of the above- referenced application. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes January 22, 1992 - Page 4 Chairwoman Cook stated that the proposed landscape plan looked very elaborate. Mr. Brooks explained that some of the plants shown on the plan are already existent, represented by an "E" on the plan. Vice-Chairman Coben questioned why the plan was so elaborate. Scott Ladd explained that there presently exists a Code Enforcement Board Violation Notice on the property. Since the property owners are required to do some landscaping to bring the property up to Code, and would in a few years need to address the new Village Landscape Ordinance #377, it was their decision to go ahead and bring the property into compliance with Ordinance #377 now. The Board agreed it was a pleasant surprise. Mr. Brooks explained the plan: On the U.S. #1 side, there will be Live Oaks and Queen Palms, with an Orange Jasmine hedge. The store fronts will have variegated Pittisporum. The entrance way by Walgreens will have Live Oaks, and Myrsine as a hedge, with Live Oaks in front of Publix, while trying to save the Queen Palms. The existing Oleander in the front (being replaced with Sable Palms) will be removed to the back of the property to fill in any gaps in the Oleander there. Coco Plums will be used in protected areas only. Boardmember Strahan moved to approve the application as submitted. Boardmember Dalack seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Victor Strahan - for Paul Coben - for Peter Pallatto - for Ruth Maitland - for Claudette Dalack - ' for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. VI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes January 22, 1992 Page 5 VII. ANY OTHER MATTERS A. Vice-Chairman Coben asked what happened to the proposed overhauling of the Lighthouse Plaza sign. Scott Ladd explained that when the sign was looked at closely, there was no way to overhaul it since it was in such bad shape and was instead removed. B. Vice-Chairman Coben asked what could be done regarding the unauthorized "red" Dry Cleaners sign at Village Square Shopping Center, since the Board's decision, in retrospect, appears to be arbitrary. Scott Ladd explained that the Board could rescind their previous motion and make a new one stating that the Board added red as a third color option to the navy blue and black. Vice-Chairman Coben moved to amend the Board's previous motion regarding the color options for the Dry Cleaner sign at Village Square to add red as a color option. Boardmember Strahan seconded the motion. Boardmember Dalack felt the Board would be setting a precedent, and send a wrong message to sign contractors, by rescinding their previous motion. Chairwoman Cook and Boardmember Maitland concurred. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - against Victor Strahan - for Paul Coben - for Peter Pallatto - for Ruth Maitland - against Claudette Dalack - against the motion was therefore a tie vote and did not pass. C. Chairwoman Cook suggested once again that the Board send a letter to Palm Beach County Library Committee stating that there is a general architectural theme to be met in the Village of Tequesta when building the proposed Library. Vice Chairman Coben suggested that Chairwoman Cook voice those concerns to the Village Manager instead. Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes January 22, 1992 Page 6 VII.
