Over 60% of the tree species proposed are indigenous. - VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT • 1, Post Office Box 3273 • 357 Tequesta Drive ft `h �t'`�:� � Tequesta, Florida 33469-0273•(407)575-6220 mal ; � Fax: (407) 575-6239 c, COUNt September 17, 1996 Mr. Chuck Yannette Parker-Yannette Design Group 900 S. U.S. Hwy. One, Ste. 104 Jupiter, FL 33478 RE: Community Appearance Board Action Landscape Plans for Ord. 377 Compliance Tequesta Agency, 393 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta Dear Mr. Yannette: This letter is to confirm the action of the Village of Tequesta Community Appearance Board at their September 11, 1996, meeting approving your plans for the above referenced project, Job No. 96-434, dated 2-12-96, as modified as follows: 1. Narrow the width of the northern exit on North Dover Road from 30 feet to 24 feet. 2. Substitute the typical Crinum Lily with St. Christopher Crinum Lily. As you are aware, this project must be reviewed by the Village Council for approval of the requested landscape waivers. Upon receipt of 11 additionaI copies of the revised plan (10 full size and one 11" X 17" reduction), this will be placed on the agenda of the next available Council meeting. You and /or your representative will need to be in attendance at this meeting to present your application to the Council. Very truly yours, Scott D. Ladd Clerk of the Board JMc cc: Mr. Charles P. Martyn, III Tequesta Agency 393 Tequesta Drive Tequesta, FL 33469 Recycled Paper Y Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 11 , 1996 Page 6 adding trees would make maintenance Of the 7-foot ficus hedge harder because it was done from a truck. After further discussion, Vice Chair Strahan suggested a shrub bed instead of trees, to be located away from the hedge. During discussion of the missing landscape islands every 10 parking spaces, ' it was pointed out that this development could not afford to lose any parking, and upon suggestion of possible additional plantings, . the representative present explained that they already had so much landscaping that they would like to add the least amount required and keep it low on the terminal islands so that visibility would not be blocked. Mr. Parker explained that proposed terminal island plantings being added to create beds would spill out into the right-of- way. Vice Chair Strahan commented that the parking was screened by a substantial hedge. Mr. Ladd requested the total percentage of native plants, which Mr. Parker agreed to provide. Mr. Parker explained that of the plants which would be added the percentage of native was 87% . Mr. Parker reported that the applicant had removed all exotics from their property. Boardmember Nielson made a motion to accept the project as presented. Boardmember McCormick seconded the motion. . The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Vic Strahan • - for Claudette Dalack - for Mollie McCormick - for Marcia Nielson - for 4110411, The motion was therefore passed and adopted. 4 . An application from Parker-Yannette Design Group, as agent, for review of landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Tequesta Insurance Agency, 393 Tequesta Drive. Chuck Yannette, Landscape Architect with Parker-Yannette Design Group, reviewed the requested waivers: Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 11 , 1996 Page 7 1 . 10 ' landscape strip required, 1 ' provided for 22 ' of north perimeter, 2 ' provided for 120 ' of east perimeter. 2 . One canopy tree per 30 1 . f. of landscape area: 5 required, 0 provided (trees to be provided in right-of- way by Village per agreement with Village Staff) . Mr. Yannette explained that an irrigation system would be added as a part of the agreement and would extend to the swale area. , and a Viburnum hedge would be provided along the North Dover property line. 3 . Two 6' x 20' landscape islands with 1 tree each required, 0 provided. 4 . One 6 ' x 20 ' landscape island with 1 tree every 10 parking spaces required, 0 provided (11 parking spaces) . 5 . 4 ' landscape strip between parking and building required, 0' provided for 20' length of north side of building, 3' provided for 25' length of east side of building. 6. Maximum 24 ' accessway width required, 30' provided. 7 . 60% of landscaping indigenous to South Florida required, 0% of shrubs provided. Justification of Waivers #1 -6: The parking area and building on this site are existing. Adding landscape islands and additional landscape buffer area would render most of the parking area unusable. The proposed plan adds as much planting as possible while retaining enough space to provide a safe parking area with a minimal number of parking spaces . Justification of Waive #7 : Due to limited existing space, the landscape buffer on the east side of the site is 2 ' wide and situated between an asphalt parking lot and a new concrete sidewalk. A buffer hedge is required in this tight space . In reviewing the suggested plant list, it is the applicant' s opinion that the Viburnum suspensum would be the shrub best suited to remain healthy and look good in the harsh conditions described above. The code calls for 60% of required plantings to be indigenous to South Florida. The Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 11, 1996 Page 8 buffer hedge is the only required shrub proposed. Over 60% of the tree species proposed are indigenous . During discussion of the streetscape, Mr. Ladd commented that a future phase of the Village streetscape would add landscaping on the east side of the road behind the building owned by Dottie Campbell . Mr. Yannette explained that the present dumpster would be removed, which had been approved by Mr. Ladd. It was explained that the project presently had a large rollaway bin for recycling paper, which was the bulk of their trash, and they would add another rollaway bin for bagged trash which would be rolled out on trash days and kept inside at other times. Mr. Yannette commented that the existing fence around the dumpster would be removed. Mr. Yannette reviewed the trees proposed to be added. At the corner of Tequesta Drive and Seabrook Road, Queen Palms would continue the theme and additional plantings would be added at the corner where the Acacia tree was to be removed. Chair Cook commented that the landscaping would need to be very heavy in that area, and requested another plant to replace the proposed Crinum Lily. Mr. Yannette explained that the St. Christopher Lily was a different variety of the Crinum Lily and looked similar but had a different flower and did not get leaf spot and did not look shabby like the Crinum Lily. Mark Cassidy from Tequesta Agency commented that the corner was heavily planted with Queen Palms . Mr. Yannette explained that although the native percentage was below 60%, the native hedge options would not look as good or survive as well in the poor conditions as the Viburnum. The Community Appearance Board discussed the 30' exit on North Dover Road. Mr. Ladd suggested that the grassy area be extended approximately 5 feet into the exit drive by removal of existing asphalt and underlying shell rock, which would provide the convenience store property owner across the road with motivation to do the same thing. Vice Chair Strahan requested that the hedge be allowed to grow high. Mr. Ladd commented that the soil must be properly prepared by adding good soil after removal of the asphalt and shell rock. Recycling the shell rock was discussed. Boardmember Dalack made a motion to accept the plan as Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 11, 1996 Page 9 proposed with the exceptions of reduction of the width of the northern entrance from 30 feet to 24 feet, and with substitution of the typical Crinum Lily with St. Christopher Crinum Lily. Vice Chair Strahan seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie .Cook - for • Vic Strahan - for Claudette Dalack - for Mollie McCormick - for 'Marcia Nielson - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Boardmember Stephen Parker rejoined the Board. Detour signs were discussed. Mr. Ladd explained that no prior notification was required in the case of emergency work such as the collapse of a sewer system. The withdrawal of the Villager application from the agenda was discussed. Mr. Ladd explained that Mr. Hearing had been unable to attend this meeting, and wanted to be present when. this application was heard by the Board. Mr. Ladd commented that there was a problem since all of the parking backed out on Fiesta, which the Village wanted the applicant to address, and they had made no effort to address. Mr. Ladd explained that the Stormwater Utility imposed fees on impervious surfaces, and that the Village desired more pervious areas for better drainage. Options for the parking problem which were briefly discussed were a solution similar to that designed by Ms . O'Mahoney for another property and . reduction of the size of parking spaces. Vice Chair Strahan questioned Mr. Ladd regarding the new Stormwater Utility, to which Mr. Ladd responded that Mr. Strahan might like to attend the Village Council Meeting the next night since the Council would be considering a resolution to establish Stormwater Utility rates .

August 14 , 1996 Mr. Scott Ladd Building Department Village of Tequesta 357 Tequesta Drive Tequesta, FL 33469 Re: 393 Tequesta Drive Dumpster Removal Dear Scott : Chuck Yanette, our landscape architect, • recently submitted a landscape plan to the village for modifications to our existing landscape . The plan included the removal of our existing trash dumpster. We would like to remove the dumpster for the following reasons : (1) most of the waste from cur office is paper and we are recycling it; (2) we are able to keep trash cans inside for our other non-recyclable trash, and we will bring them to the street on trash days; (3) this would allow us to remove the dumpster, along with the unsightly fence surrounding it and replace with grass and plant material . I would appreciate it very much if you would consider this request, and let me know as soon as possible if this is . acceptable so that we may proceed .with the improvements outlined in our plan. Thank you for your consideration with regard to my request . • 4 Sincerely, �fAr;'nti t v I5 I( e � arc Charles P . Martyr'. IItS �o President r J��v PCB • 1 n r Jz,t Af` ,!
