Request for plan approval and landscape waivers. The property is located at 190-222 Tequesta Drive and is in the Mixed-Use(MU)zoning district. Background The subject property is located along the south side of Tequesta Drive at 190-222 Tequesta Drive and has an area of approximately 4.7 acres. It is within the Mixed-Use (MU) zoning district. Currently existing on the property is an older commercial strip plaza. The general area is primarily commercial in nature, as north of the subject property there exists commercial uses, as well as south and east of the property. To the west, across Old Dixie Highway is the FEC railroad right-of-way and then more commercial uses. Further north of Tequesta Drive, within the vicinity of the subject property is a downtown residential project,the Tequesta Oaks Development,which will consist of approximately 158 townhomes. All property to the north and south of the subject property is zoned MU. East, across U.S. Highway One, and West, across Old Dixie Highway and the FEC right- of-way is zoned Community Commercial (C-2) and General Commercial(C-3). The applicant intends to modify the current site by proposing a modified sign for the site, new facade and exterior building work, new landscaping and parking area design and resurfacing. This proposed site work has been reviewed by the Village of Tequesta Development Review Committee(May 30, 1997). The site appears to be in much need of modifications as many elements currently existing on the site appear to be either non- conforming or in need of repair. Previous proposed improvements to the site by the applicant included a modified sign. This sign was not approved by the Village Council during a regular Council meeting on October 13, 1994. As a part of the current site plan, the applicant is proposing a modified sign, which appears to be the same sign previously proposed by the applicant. According to the records, both the applicant and the Village of Tequesta have shown an interest in modifying the current site, as there appears to have been various items brought before the Village Council and/or appointed Boards of the Village Council in the past. These seem to trail as far back as 1989. However,there have not been any changes made DRC Staff Report and Recommendation Page 1 Village Council,June 12,1997 Tequesta Plaza Redevelopment Site Plan j on the site to this point in time. In the past, both the applicant and the Village, it appears, have not been able to improve the conditions of the current site. Development Review Committee and Village Staff Review On the proposed site plan, the applicant indicates that an"out-parcel" exists on the northeast corner of the subject property. This"out-parcel"is designated as a`Future restaurant". If this site plan were to be approved as submitted, this out-parcel area would only be permitted to have the indicated use developed. Unless it is the intention of the applicant to have this area designated specifically for the use of a"restaurant", this description for the out-parcel should be eliminated. Also, there is no record of plans submitted for the development of this out-parcel. Therefore,the applicant will need to incorporate the appropriate site modifications to this area, along with the other sections of the site. • Also on the proposed site plan,the applicant indicated where"light poles"would be placed, however there did not appear to be specifications regarding lighting in the plan. This information should be included in the plan The following items have been reviewed by the Development Review Committee regarding the current proposed site plan by the applicant: 1. The proposed sign does not appear to meet the intent of the MU district. As a requirement of the MU district,the sign must meet the intent of the district. The currently proposed sign is 20' in height, and 15' in width, from column to column, with a face area of approximately 58.7 square feet. The intent of the MU district does not reflect a sign as high, nor as large,in general, as the proposed sign. 2. Signs indicating"One-Way"P'Wrong-Way"are missing at the west lane, along the western end of the existing plaza. 3. Irrigation plans are missing, with appropriate details, such as notations of intended water source and use of moisture sensors are missing. 4. Fire exits are not identified on plan, which need to be, along with paver markings and signage that indicate"no parking" around such exits, in order to prevent blocked exits. 5. Loading/unloading zones are not indicated, nor identified with appropriate paver markings and signage which is needed to prevent these areas from being blocked. 6. Area proposed to be resurfaced is not indicated, along with appropriate details of the resurfacing material. 7. Proposed curbing, including island curbing is not indicated in plans along with details, in association with drainage system. DRC Staff Report and Recommendation Page 2 Village Council,June 12,1997 - Teque9a Plaza Redevelopment Site Plan 7 8. Refuse container areas are not indicated, along with appropriate paver markings and signage, in order to prevent these areas from being blocked. 9. Plans are not signed and sealed by the appropriate professionals, such as landscape plans by a State of Florida Registered Landscape Architect, site plan by a State of Florida Registered Engineer. 10. One-hour separation walls and smoke stops are not indicated on plan. 11. Waiver requests for landscaping are incomplete. The applicant has indicated a total of 6 (six)waiver requests for landscaping. These consist of: A) Waiver for the required rear and side buffer areas. The applicant is proposing 0' of buffer from rear property line(10' is required), and no landscape buffers along the sides of the property(5' buffer from property line is required). This waiver request is indicated as"Waiver#1"on the proposed site plan. B) Waiver for 12% of parking area green space(where 15% is required). This • request is indicated as"Waiver#2" on the proposed plan. C) Waiver from the required 4' planting area adjacent to the building. No planting area is being proposed. This request is indicated as"Waiver#3"on the proposed plan. D) Waiver from the required 5' island between parking rows. There is an area in the rear parking lot, on the west side of the site,where parking spaces abut and- no island exists. This request is indicated as"Waiver#4"on the proposed plan. The applicant shows good intentions toward this requirement, as the separation islands in the front parking area are proposed at a width of 10', when the requirement calls for a minimum of 5'. E) Waiver from the required maximum of 10 continuous parking spaces with no island. There exists 11 continuous parking spaces with no island in the southeast rear parking area of the site. This request is indicated as"Waiver #5" on the proposed plan. F) Waiver from striping requirement as single striped parking spaces are proposed, and double striping is required. This request is indicated as`Waiver #6" on the proposed•plan. Also, the proposed plans indicate as a notation that there are 42 Live Oak trees, 16 Washingtonia Palm trees, 6 Phoenix Robellini trees and a total of 65 trees proposed (including other types of trees on plan). This information appears incorrect, according to the types and number of trees represented on the proposed plan. The proposed plan DRC Staff Repot and Recommendation Page 3 Village Council,June 12,1997 Tequesta Plaza Redevelopment Site Plan • shows 49 Live Oak trees, 18 Washingtonia Palm trees, 4 Phoenix Robellini trees, and a total of all trees as 71 trees(including other types of trees on plan). In comment and addition to the proposed landscape waivers: a. Specifically, landscape improvements are proposed in the right-of-way and a waiver(Waiver#1 on proposed plan) is requested for the required 10' buffer from the rear property line(south line). Landscaping in the right-of-way requires specific approval from Village Council. Therefore, the appropriate request for such right-of-way improvements must be clearly requested by the applicant. b. Where terminal landscape and interior landscape islands exist in the front and east portions of the parking area of the proposed plan,the applicant indicates the planting of 1 palm tree, except for one of these islands where 2 palm trees are indicated. One(1)canopy tree or three(3) palm trees are required in these areas. Either a waiver indicating this proposal on the plan must be added, or these trees be added to the plan. Also, palm trees are required to be clustered, single trees do not meet Village regulations. c. Specifications required regarding landscaping do not exist on the proposed plan, such as the percentage of native, salt and cold tolerant plants proposed and existing on the site. Staff Recommendation The proposed site modifications/site plan,with appropriate conditions, could be implemented. As the comments made by the Development Review Committee and Village Staff apply to the submitted plans, and if the applicants request is considered for approval by the Village Council, staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. That the section of the proposed site plan indicated as"out-parcel", be eliminated and appropriate landscaping and site improvements be applied; 2. That the proposed sign be reduced to meet the intent of the MU zoning district as defined by the Village Council; 3. That appropriate signage be placed at the west-end lane on the site, indicating"One- Way"/"Wrong Way"; 4. That irrigation plans be provided with appropriate details and notations, including water source and moisture sensors; DRC Staff Report and Recommendation Page 4 Village Council,June 12,1997 Tequesta Plaza Redevelopment Site Plan • 5. That fire exits be identified on plans,including corresponding paver markings/signage adjacent to these areas, in order to prevent these areas from being blocked; 6. That the area proposed for resurfacing is indicated on plans, along with appropriate details for proposed resurfacing material; 7. That proposed curbing, including island curbing is indicated on site plan, with appropriate details showing relationship to site drainage; 8. That proposed refuse container areas are indicated in plans, along with appropriate paver markings and signage, in order to prevent these areas from being blocked; 9. That plans be signed and sealed by appropriate professional, as landscape plans require the signature and seal of a Florida State Registered Landscape Architect, and site plans require the signature and seal of a Florida State Registered Engineer; 10. That one-hour separation walls and smoke stops be identified in plans; 11. That a hedge be provided and indicated in plans in the rear parking lot, west side of site, where a hedge is not indicated on the proposed plans; 12. That the appropriate number and location of palm trees, or canopy trees, be provided and indicated in plans where terminal landscape and interior landscape islands on proposed plans do not show such required trees;/or/., that such a waiver be added to the list of waivers provided on the proposed plan; 13. That the appropriate quantity of trees be adjusted in the plan notation, in order to properly match the quantity of trees shown on plan; and 14. That the appropriate lighting details be provided in plans. DRC Staff Report and Recommendation Page 5 Village Council,June 12,1997 Tequesta Plaza Redevelopment Site Plan • .

DEVELOPMENT MATTERS A) Site Plan Review for a Free-Standing Sign at Tequesta Plaza, Tequesta Drive. Ferrin Signs, Applicant, on behalf of Fehlhaber corporation. Building Official Ladd explained this was the last of the non-conforming large free-standing signs to be brought into compliance under the amortization of the sign code, and had been approved by the Community Appearance. Board, and if approved by village Council they Would have one year to pull a permit. Attorney Hawkins recommended against placing a lesser time to pull the permit. .L e- Village Council Meeting Minutes October 13, 1994 Page 10 Dottie Campbell, 4 Tradewinds Circle, stated her objection to the proposed design because she felt the • columns were 'suggestive of giant phallic symbols, and did not want Tequesta to get the reputation for having suggestive signs. She urged the Village Council to reconsider the design. Discussion ensued as to what the owner's intentions might be to improve the property. Building Official Ladd stated that in one year the entire parking area and landscaping would have to be addressed. Councilmember Collings wade a motion to deny approval of the sign for the moment and to schedule the Fehlhaber Corporation at an upcoming Redevelopment Committee Meeting to address all issues. Councilmember Schauer seconded the motion. During • discussion, Attorney Hawkins advised that this action „•-` would preclude the Village from any action by the Code Enforcement Board on this matter. The vote on the motion was: Ron T. Mackail - for William E. Burckart - for Elisabeth A. Schauer - for Earl L. Collings - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. VII.

Mr. Bass asked me to refer to a letter be received from Mr.Ladd(attachment 1 of 3 to this letter),of the Village of Tequesta Community Development Department,dated May 21, 1997. After reviewing the letter;and the Village of Tequesta Code of Ordinances, it became apparent to me that Mr. Ladd, in his letter,was indicating that your corporation paid the Village of Tequesta Community Development Department a fee of S350.00 for Community Appearance Board(CAB)review of your project,when,according to the CAB fee schedule(attachment 2 of 3 to this letter),your corporation was only required to submit a$75.00 fee. Therefore,your corporation had a total of S275.00 overpayment. Also,your corporation has an outstanding fee for the site plan review of your project. That fee may be determined by appropriately allocating the total project estimated cost within the site plan review fee schedule(attachment 3 of 3 to this letter). Once you have determined the appropriate fee due,you may apply the S275.00 overpayment,mentioned in the paragraph above,as credit to this figure. Therefore, your corporation has a"credit"of S275.00 that may be used toward the determined,appropriate site plan review fee(which,again,depends on the estimated cost of your total project). The site plan review fee due to the Village of Tequesta Community Development Department by your corporation,must be submitted prior to the regularly scheduled June 12, 1997,7:00 p.m. Village Council Meeting,at which time your corporation's project will be brought before the Council. , If you have any questions regarding the above information,including the attachments to this letter, please do not hesitate to call me at(561)575-6223.

Knight, P.E. Phone 561-231-2533 Scott B. McGuire, P.E. _ FAX 561-231-1398 March 20, 1997 Mr. Scott Ladd • Village of Tequesta • r_ 357 Tequesta Drive • Tequesta, FL 33469 RE: Tequesta Plaza Dear Mr. Ladd, Enclosed please find ten revised sets of the above referenced plan which has been revised per your and JoAnn's verbal comments (March 10th meeting) . We have made the following modifications: 1 . Additional waivers No. 4, 5, and 6 have been added. 2 . Trash container locations have been shown. 3.. The parking spaces on the west side of the building have been made compact (8 x 16) and have been changed to 45° to allow for better backing. 4 . The rear of the building has been reworked to reflect its current layout rather than converting it to a front. This modification to the plan was made at your request because changes to the building limits cannot be accomplished through this Ordinance # 377 process. 5. The Bollards in front of the center have been removed. 6. The restaurant area in the front has been labelled "Future 6000 ft2 Restaurant Out Parcel. " It is our understanding that approval of this site will be via separate process. The parking which now exists beneath this site has not been shown since it is not required parking. Waiver Justification is as follows. 1 . Waiver #1 Bufferyards - We have shown a full 10 ' bufferyard on the most important side (north side) . The side property lines have access drives which are used by adjacent property owners and there is not any opportunity to provide green area. The rear of the center has paving and parking up to the property line although there will be created or already exists a 25' to 30 ' green bufferyard. Re yded/Recydable ® l T 2 . The total green space created is 12% of the total site up from less than 1%. This conservatively represents a 1200% increase in green space. This amount of green space is the most that can be accomplished without adversely affecting the use of the center. 3. The 4 ' planter adjacent to the buildings cannot be accomplished because of the tight constraints concerning parking and access. The building was designed to accommodate paving or walkways right up to the building line. We have made provisions such that no portion of the building is visible from the street without looking across a green area except where driveways are shown and on the east/west building lines. These two sides are subject to existing driveways which cannot be closed or moved. 4. The 5 ' island cannot be placed between the two rows of parking behind the center. To offset this we have provided 10 ' islands in the front rather than the 5 ' required. 5. We have shown one instance in which 11 spaces are proposed in a row without an island. We have provided a large island adjacent to and east of this area to offset this situation. 6. Single striped parking is requested because we feel it is adequate parking Per our discussions it is our intention to go through the C.A.B. and the Village Council approval for this Ordinance # 377 modification and the sign as soon as possible. We are also currently working on an application (Development Review Application) for the modification to the facade and restaurant parcel . Our goal is to have all of these applications approved and begin construction on Phase I (front) of the landscaping this summer. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to give me a call . Sincerely, - jam l cott B. McGuire, P.E. \tequesta\codify
