• submitted. During discussion of the motion, Mr. Robinson
inquired what the Board was looking for regarding the
dumpster, and the response was that the fence around the
dumpster needed to be fixed. Mr. Robinson indicated that
the fence would be fixed, either by him or by Almont Villas.
Motion was seconded by Boardmember Dalack, and unanimously
carried by vote of 5-0.
4 . An application from george g. gentile & associates, inc. ,
for review of preliminary landscape plans for Ordinance
#377 compliance for Tequesta Financial Centre, 218 U.S.
One South.
Mr. George Gentile stated that he represented Tequesta
Financial Center, whose original landscape plan had been
done in compliance with the Village streetscape program,
which was the reason for the regimented row of Queen
palms, as well as the tremendous number of mature Queen
palms . on the property. Mr. Gentile presented the
following waiver requests for consideration by the Board:
1 . A 5' landscape strip is required along the west
property line; none is provided.

Mr. Gentile explained that waivers for the rear parking
property had been requested because that land was not
owned by the applicant, but was leased from the Village.
Mr. Gentile commented that the shrubs had died on the
north property line and that the applicant was proposing
a new wax myrtle hedge, which would raise the native
vegetation count . One Queen palm in a bad state was
proposed to be replaced with a Queen palm to match the
existing theme. Mr. Gentile explained that the original
number of trees required had been 29, and that there were
now approximately 40 trees on the site. Mr. Gentile
explained that the island could not be extended because
circulation would not conform to the Village Code; and
commented that the vegetation on the south side was all

existing except Dahoon Holly trees proposed to be added
in between existing canopy trees which would increase the
native requirement as well as the tree count. Discussion
ensued regarding native plants, and the fact that there
were many plants which were sustainable in this area but
were not on the native list, as well as the fact that
while wax myrtles were on the list they had a certain
life span, and would not last indefinitely.
Mr. Gentile explained that the parking waivers were
requested in order to retain the existing configuration
since changes would result in nonconformance with Village
Code. Mr. Gentile was questioned what he would propose
for the rear parking area if the Village did not own it,
to which the response was that . the hedge would be
extended. Joanne McCabe explained that the Village
planned to develop that property, and that she had spoken
to Water System Manager Tom Hall who had indicated he had
no problem with the applicant adding a hedge along the
back. Mr. Gentile suggested a vine plant every ten feet
to grow on the existing - fence, with which the Board
agreed.
Chair Cook commented that existing landscaping needed
cleaning out underneath, but that the overall maintenance
was good.
Boardmember Coben made a motion to accept the application as
submitted with the addition of Confederate Jasmine along the
fence on the west. Motion was seconded by Boardmember
Nielson, and unanimously carried by vote of 5-0.
Boardmember McCormick inquired as to the time limit for
landscaping to begin after the Board had approved plans.
Joanne McCabe responded that after approval by Village
Council that the applicant had 30 days to apply for their
permit, however, the Village had been granting time
extensions when the applicant had not made a decision on the
contractor to do the work. Ms . McCabe explained that after
work had begun an inspection was required after six months .
Ms . McCabe commented on one project which had been delayed
after Community Appearance Board approval and had recently
been presented to the Village Council, who, had made
modifications. Ms . McCabe reported on the status of other
