Because of the tightness of the parking lot, including substandard drive areas, no parking spaces can be sacrificed. Vice Chair Strahan questioned why landscaping in front did not extend to the property lines on each side: Mr. Ostrout explained that the 'condominium association had requested a plan to meet code and to minimize the cost, and he had been asked to limit his efforts to those conditions. Mr. Ostrout explained that he would have recommended additional' landscaping anyway if he had felt it did not look well, but that the wall was nice. Boardmember Parker suggested that the hedge material be changed from Cocoplum to slower growing Ilex Vomitoria. Mr. Ostrout agreed. Chair Cook discussed the garbage stacked which showed above the pretty brick wall . Mr. Ostrout inquired whether that should be addressed during landscape review or if it should be a Code Enforcement issue. Ms. Burnsed advised that it -was a combination issue, and that it fell under dumpster screening which was required to be • screened and maintained. Chair Cook recommended that something be done about the matter. The center median island was discussed. It was the preference of the Board to extend a row of Ixora Nora Grant down the center of the island, leaving gaps for trees and to have either sod or mulch on the sides. A condition requiring that the Ilex hedge in front be continued to the property lines was discussed. It was concluded that it would be best to leave the hedge as proposed to cut down on maintenance. Boardmember Parker commented that an additional waiver should be requested for the landscaping required at the ends of the parking rows. Mr. Ostrout responded that the justification would be the same as the other three . • waivers, since no parking spaces could be eliminated. Boardmeinber Parker made a motion to:approve the Landscape Plan and list of waivers for Wendimere Villas II, 413-419 Cypress Drive, with the following oomments: • COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 7 1.
