Kathleen Spain of Gee & Jenson, who had prepared the
preliminary drawing , showing the median islands to be
landscaped, reported that approval fran DOT had not yet been
received on the sight line triangles. Ms. Spain explained
that the decisions made at this meeting would be subject to
DOT approval, and requested a decision from the Board on
colors and plant materials. Ms. Spain estimated about
$20, 000 left after installation of irrigation and the
maximum of 28 trees, so that possibly more ground cover
could be used.
Ms. Spain presented two scenarios for review. The first
scenario was a lavender and gold color design using Bast
Palatka Holly as the main tree, which Ms. Spain described as
a medium size tree better suited to the size of the islands
than the live oak previously discussed by the Board. Plant
materials consisted of trailing lantana, dwarf Alamanda and
society garlic, and sod. Ms. Spain commented that the plant
materials had been chosen for salt and drought tolerance and
resistance to insects. Boardmember McCormick questioned the
maintenance cost, to which Director Preston responded that'
the Village would need a proposal for the cost of
maintenance and that DOT would be satisfied with only trees
and sod. Some discussion ensued regarding the danger of
mowing in heavy traffic. Mr. Preston stated he would have a
coct. estimate before the next Tree Board meeting, and if it
were out of line- lath what the. Village Council would approve
at their final budget hearing that more trees and sod might
need to be used. W. Preston stated that three cost
estimates would be obtained before the next meeting: (1)
trees and sod, (2) sod, trees and. ground cover, and (3)
ground cover and trees. Ms. Spain .recommended more ground
cover to - get away from mowing. .' The second , scenario
presented by Ms. Spain was for a gold and red color scheme
using dwarf alamanda, lantana, and dwarf azalea. The
Boardmembers were aware of problems with azalea, and decided
to adopt the first scenario unless it was later determined

that maintenance would be too costly.
Boardmember McCormick questioned whether a landscape color
scheme existed within the Village and was informed there was
no color scheme. Director Preston described the East
Palatka Holly tree, and stated one was planted in the park
next to the village Hall and had been the first Arbor Day
tree. Director Preston explained that after the cost of
irrigation had been determined that the amount remaining of
the $75, 000 grant would be used for DOT approved
landscaping.
