Ostrout, Jr. and Associates, Landscape Architects Tom, attached are 18 packets and plans for the above subject project which was reviewed by the Community Appearance Board on March 19, 1997. The Board discussed the landscape plan and the two requested waivers and expressed the following concerns with this application: o The Board discussed the entry drive which was currently owned by DiVosta and used as the construction access for Tequesta Oaks but would be abandoned and reconfigured to provide a new entrance to serve the Global Building and The Fashion Mall. O The Board reviewed the proposed improvements which included the addition of queen palms, live oaks and ligustrum to make a strong statement at the entrance. O The Board discussed the hedge material proposed for the south property line which abuts the gas station which was changed to silverthorn, which has thorns and would discourage people from cutting through the hedge. Motion to approve the proposed landscaping and waivers with the following comments: 1. That there is a second waiver for the trees on the east end of the south parking lot. 2. That a planting bed of Ilex and Ixora be added around the base of the sign at the corner of the parking lot. 3. That a change from Cocoplum to Elaeagnus pungens (silverthorn) along the south property line is acceptable. ti Page 2 Ord. 377 Project Review Vote on the motion: 5-0 to approve. Staff Comments: There are currently 22 parking spaces provided for this property. With the reconfiguration of the entrance, additional parking will be provided for a total of 39 spaces. With the addition of these parking spaces, the percentage of landscape area provided will be 24.8% (15% required by code). The existing percentage of landscape area is 42.8%. With the exception of the two minor waiver requests, the applicant has provided landscaping to meet the code requirements. Staff recommends approval.

Indiantown Road, #101 Jupiter, FL 33458 RE': Community Appearance Board Action Landscape Plans for Ord. 377 Compliance The Global Building- 120 U.S. One North, Tequesta Dear Howard: This letter is to confirm the action of the Village of Tequesta Community Appearance Board at their March 19, 1997, meeting approving your plan for the above referenced project as follows: • 1.

The change in the hedge material along the south property line from Cocoplum to Elaeagnus pungens is acceptable. As you are aware, this project must be reviewed by the Village Council for approval of the requested landscape waivers and upon receipt of 4 additional copies of the plan (3 full size and one 11" X 17" reduction), 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, • Joanne Bumsed Acting Clerk of the Board JMB cc: E. J. Nelson 120 U.S. One North Tequesta, FL 33469 Rec.-tided Paper • COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 7 1.

The Cocoplum shall be changed to Ilex Vomitoria Shillings Dwarf in front. 3. Labels on the plan for oaks and Ilex shall be reversed, so that the label reading "oaks" shall be on the oaks and • the label reading "Ilex" shell be on the Ilex. 4. Trees and palms shall be fertilized. • 5. An additional waiver shall be added which states that there should be landscape islands at the ends of the two parking rows on the north and south. Vice Chair Strahan seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Vic Strahan - for Claudette Dalack - for Molly McCormick - for Steve Parker - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. 3. An application from Howard F. Ostrout, Jr. and Associates, as agent, for review of landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for the Global Property Sales Building, 120 U.S. One North. Howard F. Ostrout, Jr., Landscape Architect, explained that the recently reviewed Tequesta Fashion Mall had included phasing to allow landscaping of the front area immediately and to do the back when Mr. DiVosta' s Tequesta Oaks project was finished. Mr. Ostrout explained that there would be a new entry drive area when Tequesta Oaks was completed, and that Mr. DiVosta actually owned the access road until August 30, 1997. An existing agreement between Ed Nelson, Gary Van Brock, and Mr. DiVosta allowed for Mr. DiVosta' s ultimate COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 8 abandonment of the road and reconfiguration of ownership between Mr. Nelson and Mr. Van Brock's group. This would allow a completely new entrance to serve the Global office building, and provide a south entrance into the Fashion Mall. This one common entrance would be located slightly south of the existing entrance. Mr. Ostrout explained that although DOT approval was necessary, the engineer for the project had foreseen no problems. Mr. Ostrout also explained that Mr. Nelson would be unable to implement proposed improvements until after August 30, 1997 when transfer of ownership took place. Mr. Ostrout described proposed improvements, including addition of queen palms, live oaks, and ligustrum to make a strong statement at the entrance. Larger beds would contain taller back rows of plants down to lower front rows to achieve a layered look. A new dumpster enclosure was proposed using a concrete block wall with aluminum gates. A cocoplum hedge was proposed. The wall dividing the property from Tequesta Oaks was discussed. Mr. Ostrout commented that the oak trees and cocoplum on each side of the wall would need to be staggered. Chair Cook noted that when Mr. Van Brock' s representative came back the Community Appearance Board should make sure that a lot of landscaping was added on the side facing U.S. One. Boardmember Parker commented that two trees were missing and waivers should be requested. Mr. Ostrout explained that the sign in the median island would be a Tequesta Fashion Mall sign on Mr. Nelson' s property and that Mr. Van Brock would apply for that sign and to remove the sign on his property. It was noted that landscaping would be needed around the base of the Global building sign. Mr. Ostrout suggested using Ixora Nora Grant with some Ilex in a bed at the sign base. Drainage was briefly discussed. Mr. Ostrout explained that a civil engineer had been retained and there could possibly be an exfiltration system under the parking lot. Chair Cook discussed the hedge on the south property line backing up to the gas station. Ed Nelson, owner of the property, described the problems with people parking in his parking lot and walking through the hedge to go into the gas station for snacks, etc. Mr. Ostrout proposed • COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES MARCH 19, 1997 PAGE 9 removing the existing hedge and planting it with silverthorn, which would have thorns and would discourage people using that as a shortcut. Chair Cook discussed the unsightly storage area behind the gas station. Ms. Burnsed stated that she would look into the matter. Chair Cook commented that the gas station should have been required to put in new plants along the right of way, however, Ms. Burnsed pointed out that the Board could not have made that a condition since that was not gas station property. Boardnimber Parker made a motion to approve the Landscape Plan and list of waivers for Global Property Sales building, 120 North V.S. Highway One, with the following comments: 1. That there is a waiver for the trees on the east end of the south parking lot. 2. That a planting bed of Ilex and Ixora be added around the base of the sign at the oorner of the parking lot. 3. That a change from Coaoplum to Elaeagnus pungens (silverthorn) along the south property line is acceptable. The motion was seconded by Vice Chair Strahan. During discussion of the motion, Chair Cook suggested planting a palm, however there was not room. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook for Vic Strahan - for Claudette Dalack - for Molly McCormick - for Steve Parker - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. VI. UNFINISHED BUSINESS The status of remaining properties not in compliance with Ordinance *377 was discussed. Chair Cook requested that Code Enforcement Officer Davis provide a status report at the next Community Appearance Board meeting. • COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD REVIEW ��-5-(56 LANDSCAPE ORD. #377 DATE: 3/11/97 • PROJECT: Global Property Sales CONTACT: Mr. Ed Nelson ADDRESS: 120 North U.S. Hwy One.
