Mr. Hearing that the homeowners are desiring to modify and upgrade the image of Key West Village via upgrading the landscaping and the quality of the homes. The request is for a multi-phased landscaping project. All previously approved landscaping has been completed, but the homeowners feel it does not look attractive enough for their community, and therefore would choose to upgrade to something which has more of a "seaside" flavor. Plans include upgrading the entrance way with coconut palms on either side and in the median area, native spider lily Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes August 14, 1991 Page 3 groundcover, carrotwood trees for a canopy effect. Written approval is yet to be received from Travelers Insurance Company to landscape a small area near the entrance which belongs to them. Oleander will be used along the wall for color. Landscaping will be dense with palms, seagrapes. A small gazebo is proposed to be constructed. Railroad ties will be used as retaining walls. The homeowners feel that the present sign is a bit boring and small and propose a new sign with open lattice detail with a signage plate with a flower border.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. VI. ANY OTHER MATTERS Letter from Louis I. Vlahos, Liv. Designs Inc. , to Neandross Enterprises advising of a change in plant selection at Eastwinds Landing. Bruce Neandross explained that the Formosa Azalea which was previously approved for the entrance way was not planted since the Landscape Architect stated those plants would not be hardy after one year and would not thrive in that environment. Therefore the Azalea were replaced with Pittosporum. Chairwoman Cook asked why a request for approval was not submitted to the Community Appearance Board for a change from the approved plan, and why a like plant was not replaced with a like plant. Cerise Culbert, present in representation of lot owner Dorothy Campbell, objected to the change from Azalea to Pittosporum and contended that the latter plant not be allowed without approval. Lou Ann Hinds moved to disapprove the change to Pittosporum. Claudette Dalack seconded the motion.
