Steve Niedergeses with Roy Fisher Recycled Paper COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD SITTING AS THE TREE BOARD MEETING MINUTES JULY 16, 1997 PAGE 2 Associates reviewed the landscape plan. Discussion ensued regarding parking for delivery trucks. Mr. Preston commented that the shopping center owner seemed to be in favor of the plan. During discussion of the hedge, Boardmember Parker expressed preference for Simpson Stopper instead of myrsine. Mr. Neidergeses explained that the sidewalk was located on the street side of the island. Discussion ensued regarding possibly placing trees along the street and the sidewalk behind the trees. Boardmember Parker suggested the sidewalks be replaced with grass and people could walk on the concrete paving. Boardmember Coben objected because of liability concerns. Mr. Preston clarified that the curbs and sidewalks were already in the plans and that the Board was reviewing only the landscaping. It was the consensus of the Board that the cabbage palms against the building near the parallel parking spaces should be adjusted. The rest of the street was reviewed. It was decided to put oaks closer and push sabals in so that the oaks would not be right on top of the palms. Chair Cook proposed that funds could be made available in this budget year by eliminating a tree in this streetscape to place two ligustrum bushes in front of the unattractive wood fence belonging to ENCON. Chair Cook commented that approaching ENCON should be delayed until after the lawsuit was settled. Mt. Preston indicated that the hedges that some property owners had requested had not yet been addressed. Chair Cook proposed that if hedges were installed that the, same hedge material should be used as in the streetscape. Chair Cook made a motion that the Board accept the plan as submitted by the Parks Department with regard to the Seabrook Road North project, with the change that the myrsine hedge be substituted with Simpson Stopper hedge; 4 COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD SITTING AS THE TREE BOARD MEETING MINUTES JULY 16, 1997 • PAGE 3 that the sabal palms be staggered; and that the oaks not be placed too close to the sabal palms.
