You and/or your representative will need to be in attendance at this meeting to present your application to the Council. Very truly yours, .4#-A1-4-- - /t Scott D. Ladd Clerk of the Board .Tii,1C Recycled Paper • Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 27, 1995 Page 2 • Ladd responded that unfortunately the Ordinance 377 notices had all gone to the previous owner, and Mr. and Mrs. Makris had just learned about the landscape ordinance. Mrs. Makris reported she was in the process of consulting with Joanne McCabe for compliance requirements, had already added several plantings, and would contact a landscape architect. Mrs. Makris submitted color chips for approval to paint the vertical boards on the building. The Board discussed the building colors at length. Since the Board had not been prepared to make a decision on the building colors, at the suggestion of Vice Chair Vic Strahan, the Board delayed making a decision on the building colors until the applicant returned with the landscaping plan. In order to have a total look and avoid too many building colors, Chair Leslie Cook suggested that the applicant consider painting the whole building the same color as the sign background. Boardmamber Paul Coben made a motion to approve the sign as submitted. The motion was seconded by Vice Chair Strahan and unanimously carried. Chair Leslie Cook suggested that Mrs. Makris speak with Mr. DiVosta to find out what his plans were for the adjacent property regarding landscaping. 2 . This agenda item was withdrawn by the applicant. 1.1110. 3. An application from george g. gentile t associates, Inc. , for review of preliminary landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Community Savings, 101 U.S. One North. Mr. Troy Holloway, representing george g. gentile & associates, reviewed the waiver requests for this application: 1 . Three trees are required along U. S. Highway One, 30' on center; two clusters of three palms are • Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 27, 1995 Page 3 proposed. The Board agreed because of lack of space. 2 . A 4' landscape strip is required along the north side of the building; 2 .5' is provided. The Board agreed to grant this waiver since the existing walkway would have to be sawcut in order to provide 4' . Mr. Holloway explained that waivers 3, 4 and 5 all pertained to the north property line: 3. A 5' landscape strip is required along the north property line; none is provided. 4 . Along the north property line, 13 trees are required, none are provided. 5. A hedge is required along the north property line, 24" overall; none proposed. The Board agreed to waivers 3, 4, and 5 because of the shared parking lot. Mr. Holloway explained that there was a cross easement, ana that there was a buffer on the adjacent property. 6. A 4' landscape strip is required along the south side of the training facility; none is provided. The Board agreed with this waiver since there was not enough room. Chair Leslie Cook commented that the confederate jasmine had been removed from the trellis and that the plants in the planters against the building were in very bad shape. After extensive discussion, the Board requested that along the south side of the training facility the existing plants would be refurbished with native plants which would stand up to full sun, and that the trellis on the south side would be replanted with confederate jasmine which would be large and full. • 7 . A 5' landscape strip is required along the east property line; none is proposed. The Board agreed Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 27, 1995 Page 4 to this waiver because there was no room for a landscape strip in that location. Chair Leslie Cook commented on the poor maintenance in the beds which were full of weeds and requested better maintenance. 8. Three trees are required along the east property line, 30' on center, one is proposed. Mr. Holloway explained the one tree proposed was a cluster of cabbage palms, and that one large live oak tree would be added in the terminal, although that was not on the applicant' s property. The Board agreed with Mr. Holloway' s assurance that any dead plants (shrubs and ground cover) would be replaced, and any shrubs and ground cover plants in poor condition would be replaced according to the specifications on the plan. 9. A hedge is required along the east property line, 24" overall; none is proposed. The Board agreed to this waiver because of lack of- space. 10. One canopy tree per parking island (nine trees required) ; seven are proposed. Mr. Holloway explained that three oaks had been added in terminal islands. The Board agreed to this waiver because of lack of space. 11. A 10' landscape strip is required along the south property line; a 3' landscape strip is proposed. The Board agreed to this waiver because of lack of space. 12 . Along the south property line, 13 trees are required, 30' on center, six are proposed, 12' overall height. Mr. Holloway explained that pigeon plum trees would be planted in between the existing ligustrum trees, and that the trees there must be slow growing and low because of power lines. The Board agreed to the waiver but requested that the applicant verify that the pigeon plum trees would be compatible with the existing streetscape farther east on that road. • Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes September 27, 1995 Page 5 13. A 15% interior landscape is required, 12% provided. Mr. Holloway explained that with the additions requested by the Board that this percentage would be increased. The Board agreed to this waiver. 14 . A minimum of 60% native plant material is required; 41% has been provided. Mr. Holloway explained that with the additions requested by the Board that this percentage would be increased. The Board agreed to this waiver. Vice Chair Vic Strahan made a motion to accept this application subject to the plantings in the existing beds on the south side of the training building being replaced with native plants; the trellis area on the south side of the training building and the trellis area on the west aide of the training building being replanted with confederate jasmine; the condition of the existing plants being examined and those plants in poor condition replaced with plants which come up to the specifications indicated on the landscape architect's drawing; the general maintenance level being upgraded; and the proposed trees along the south border of the property being compatible with the rest of the trees in the streetscape for Waterway Road. The conditions in this motion are to help offset the number of waivers that have been requested. Motion was seconded by Boardmember Paul Coben, and unanimously carried. 4 . An application from Junson., Inc. For review of preliminary landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for Countyline Plaza (excluding the K-Mart property) , 506-722 U.S. One North.
