UNFINISHED BUSINESS Vice Chair Strahan commented that as a tenant of Tequesta Plaza and as a member of the Community Appearance Board he had been approached by numerous people who questioned the appearance of Tequesta Plaza and why other people had upgraded their property to comply with Ordinance 377 and Tequesta Plaza appeared to have made no effort whatsoever to do the same. Chair Cook commented that she had also been questioned on this matter. Ms. McCabe responded that the Village had been in litigation with the owner, Mr. Felhaber, and therefore had not been able to pursue this matter. Ms. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES FEBRUARY 5, 1997 PAGE' 4 McCabe explained that Code Enforcement Officer Davis was currently in the process of notifying everyone who was not at the point in. the compliance process that they should be, whether they were past the 30-day time period to apply for permit, whether they had been before the Community Appearance Board and had not brought in additional plans required to proceed to Village Council; or whether they had done nothing.. Officer Davis explained that the Village Attorney had advised that Ordinance 377 compliance should not be pursued in the case of Tequesta Plaza while in litigation. However, he had now been notified to proceed, and a notice was being mailed that week to Mr. Felhaber. Notices of violation were also being sent that week to everyone else who had not complied with Ordinance #377. The notices all gave ten days to comply or the case would go before the Special Master for hearing. In response to a • question' from Chair Cook, Ms. McCabe explained that Rinker was in the process of applying for permits and that a permit had been issued to them the . previous day for a sprinkler system.; and Tequesta Insurance .had been issued a permit for resurfacing and cutouts in their parking lot. • Code Enforcement Officer briefly • discussed businesses that would be sent violation notices.

Other businesses which were in the process of complying were discussed. Officer Davis commented that the Special Master system was working well. Boardmember Dalack expressed her thanks for the beautiful bright begonias planted by the Village.
