Joanne McCabe commented that when Co stitution Park was developed that the applicant lost parking, and also cars were unable to pull in from Seabrook Road. The applicant had submitted plans ap roximately one year .ago, but could not proceed until the Village had completed its work in the right-of-way. The proposed myrsine hedge was discussed, and a decision wads made to change the hedge material to Simpson stopper. Vice Chair Strahan pointed out that the existing chalcas hedge was covered with some type of creeper which should be removed, and the Ixora in front of the building needed to be replaced. Chair Cook commented that the landscaping at the Village Recreation Center building looked bad. Code Enforcement Officer Davis reported that . he ' was trying to contact the administrator of the hospital to get the applicant' s rear property mowed, since the grass was approximately 24 inches high. Mr. Holloway agreed to contact the proper parties at the hospital to get the mowing done. Mr. Holloway commented that the asphalt in front of the doors on the north side of the building would be :removed and replaced with grass and a concrete pad. Vice Chair Strahan requested that something be done to the northwest corner to provide a buffer from the park, to which Ms. McCabe responded that was not an item required by code. Mr. Holloway explained that existing trees outside the parking lot area would re�aain. Vice Chair Strahan suggested that weeds be • removed from holes in the asphalt next to the building and ficus vines be planted in a couple of them. Mr. Holloway explained that the vines would damage the st cco. Vice Chair Strahan stressed that it was important to have landscaping on the southern perimeter to provide a buffer. Vice Chair Strahan made a motion to approve the landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for the Jupiter Ambulance Service building, 395 Seabrook Road, with the proviso that maintenance shall be improved on the • I. existing green area and plants; that existing Chalcas and Ixora shall be replaced if necessary at the discretion of the applicant with plants that require less maintenance; that myrsine shall be changed to Simpson stopper on the • Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes • December 4 , 1996 Page 7 . • proposed plan; and that the applicant shall contact the hospital regarding cleaning up the rear area of the property.

An pplication from Cotleur Hearing, Inc. , for review of landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Village Squ re Shopping Center, 221-289 U.S. One South. Landscape Architect Donaldson Hearing introduced property ma lager Bob Crumm, both of whom were representing the • applicant. Mr. Hearing commented. that there were existing fixed rate leases with tenants so that there was no possibiity of cost recovery for the landscaping improvements; and that visibility was a major concern for retail tenants. Mr. Hearing discussed the parking issue, and explained that according to the parking code which the applicant • had been given, 120 spaces were required based on the . 12,000 square feet of restaurants in the shopping center, in addition to 240 for the remaining area, or a total of 360; and there were only 305 spaces existing. Ms. McCabe explained that shopping center parking spaces were all . calculated for the shopping center itself, not for the re taurants. Mr. Hearing explained that the concern of th property manager representing the property owner was that in the event the owner wanted to sell that the parking would not be adequate to meet minimum code. Discussion ensued regarding the fact that the parking lot was. never full. Mr. Hearing stated that the applicant wiOed to go on record that the number of parking spaces decided upon at today' s meeting was determined to be • sufficient and consistent with the code as of this date. lig— 3 c)--s/ COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD REVIEW 4(/ 7S/ LANDSCAPE ORD. #377 DATE: November 15, 1996 76k 5 ,(j_ PROJECT: Jupiter Ambular a Service, Inc.
