Sec. 7-5. Effect of article and board approval of plans.
The requirements of this article are in addition to any other
requirement of this Code such as the zoning code and the
building code. Approval by the community appearance board
of a given set of plans and specifications does not necessarily
constitute evidence of applicant's compliance with other re-
quirements of this Code. (OH.No.208, § 5,4-24-78)
Sec. 7-6. Supplemental criteria and procedural rules of board.
(a) General requirements. The general requirements are
minimum esthetic standards for all site development,buildings,
structures, or alterations within the village except in Districts
R1A and Rl. It is required that site development, buildings
or alterations with the sole exception of Districts R1A and R1
show proper design concept,express honest design construction
and be appropriate to the surroundings.
(1) Buildings or structures which are a part of a present
or future group o�r om lex shall have a unity of charac-
ter and design, a relationship of forms and the use,
texture and color of materials shall be such as to create
an harmonious whole. When the area involved forms an
integral part of,is immediately adjacent to or otherwise
clearly affects the future of any established section of
•
the village, the design, scale, and location on the'ate
shall enhance rather than detract from the character,
value, and attractiveness of the surroundings.
(2) Buildings or Qtruetures located along strips of land or
on single sites and not a part of a unified multi-building
complex shall strive to achieve visual harmony with the
surroundings.If they are butt in undeveloped areas,the
three (3) primary requirements shall be met--express
honest design construction, show proper design con-
. cepts,and be appropriate to the village.
( 419
7-4 TEQUESTA CODE g 7-6
(8) All facades visible to public or adjacent property shall
be designed to create an harmonious whole. Materials
shall express their function clearly and not appear as a
material foreign to the rest of the building.
(4) It is not to be inferred that buildings must look alike
or be of the same style to be harmonious. Harmony
can be achieved through the proper consideration of
scale, proportions, site planning, landscaping, materials
and color.
(5) Buildings, which are of symbolic design for reasons of
advertising and are not compatible to the atmosphere of
the village, will not be approved by this board. Symbols,
attached to the buildings will not be allowed unless they
are secondary in appearance to the building and land-
scape and are an aesthetic asset to the project and
neighborhood.
(6) Exterior lighting may be used to illuminate a building
. and its grounds for safety purposes, but in an aesthetic l
manner. Lighting is not to be used as a form of adver-
tising in a manner that is not compatible to the neigh-
borhood or in a manner that it draws considerably
more attention to the building grounds at night than in
the day. Lighting following the form of the building or
part of the building will not be allowed.All fixtures used
in exterior lighting are to be selected not only for
functional value,but for aesthetic value.
(7) Buildings of a style or style type foreign to South
Florida and/or its climate, will not be allowed. It is also
to be understood that buildings, even though they have
a historical significance to South Florida, but do not
conform to the existing nor to the evolving atmosphere
of the village,will not be approved.
(8) Building surfaces, walls and roofs that are considered
garish by the board will be denied approval.
(9). "Take out" or "pick up" windows of retail or wholesale
establishments shall not be located on a building facade
420
§ 7-6 COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD 114
that faces a public right-of-way, unless they are de-
signed in such a manner as to be an aesthetic asset to
the building and neighborhood.
(10) All exterior forms, attached or not attached to build-
ings, shall be in conformity to and secondary to the
building. They shall be an asset, both to the aesthetics
of the site,and to the neighborhood.
(11) All telephones on private property, vending machines,
or any facility dispensing merchandise or a service,
shall be confined to a space built into the building or
buildings or enclosed in a separate structure compatible
with the main building.
(12) No advertising will be allowed on any exposed amenity/
or facility such as benches and trash containers.
(13) The following is added criteria that pertain to, but are
not limited to gasoline stations. Symbolic color of the
exterior facades or roofs may not be used unless they
are harmonious with the atmosphere of the neighbor-
hood. Example: Royal blue, which symbolizes a brand
of gasoline and other establishments, would not be ac-
ceptable in most cases. Exterior display of goods for,
sale or those designating a service will not be allowed,
except gasoline station's display of goods and tools of a
service may be displayed on the pump island, provided
that the island is not considered by the board to be
enlarged to take advantage of this provision, and pro-
vided that the goods and tools be such that they can
be used or installed at the island. For example: An oil
rack is acceptable, but a tire display is not. Areas used
to store materials such as mufflers, tires, packing
crates or cases, refuse and garbage shall be screened
from adjacent property and from the public view.
(b) Exterior space, general.The scale of exterior space is to
be relative to its neighborhood, adjacent properties, buildings,
access (roads and pedestrian routes) and its activity. Building
facades enclosing a space must be harmonious.Where,because
of their use or age, like facades are not possible, consideration
421
17-I • TEQUESTA CODE II 7-6
should be taken to unify the walls of the apace by the applica-
• tioti of landscaping, or man-made objects of like design, at
modular spacing.The floor of a space is of primary importance,
its materials, texture and color, contour and shadow on it are
to be considered, not only in relation to the space, but to its
setting. Natural vistas must be surveyed and planning steps
are to be taken to preserve them to the greatest extent. Care-
• ful consideration to future development shall be given to
yistse which open into undeveloped areas.
(c)•Landscaping. Too much emphasis cannot be placed upon
landscaping as a means of achieving beauty in the community.
In some projects and areas it will be the primary tool available.
This village, with its sub-tropical vegetation and characteris-
tics, is blessed with diverse areas of native plants and terrain
to serve as guides and models.It is the desire to the board that
landscape design and planning become more integrated with
the overall area design concept and not be considered merely as
an afterthought. Toward this end proposed landscaping
schemes will be evaluated as to their relationship to: The
existing natural landscape, existing and proposed man-de-
veloped landscape, including those on adjacent properties and
Street rights-of-way and the building or buildings existing and
proposed.
(1), The board strongly feels that the existing natural land •
-
• scape character should be preserved whenever possible.
• As an example of this,the board would prefer that in an
. area containing a 'stand of trees that the developer
would preserve.as many of these trees as possible and
• " further landscape in a complementary manner, rather
• ' than destroy the existing trees and replant with a
type of vegetation completely foreign to the immediate
• natural environment.
(2)- Landscaping includes not only trees and plantings, but
• paving, benches, fountains, exterior lighting fixtures,
fences, and any other item of exterior furniture. All
items of the landscape are to be selected, not only for
• their functional value, but for their aesthetic value and
•••• must complement the whole. _

(8) One of the basic uses of landscaping will be to screen.
, • It is the masking out or concealing a.particular objew
• ± tional area, accessory use of an otherwise acceptable
t structure or space. The achievement of this is left to
1 the designer,whether by walls,fences,mounds of earth,
or vegetation. Screening shall be employed to mask
tfrom the public view or adjacent properties such service
r areas as trash and garbage areas, outside equipment of
r< an unaesthetic character, and accessory buildings or
areas not enhancing or in keeping with the aesthetics
' of the project or neighborhood.
'} (4) Landscaping shall be designed in such a manner as to
impart its aesthetic character when viewed from any
•; area accessible to the public or from adjacent properties.
This is to include views from highrise buildings and
,• bridges.
1,., . - (5) All landscaping and plantings designated on the plans
' approved by the board shall become effective and/or
, • attain the size or height indicated within one (1) year
`' ` ' '`'` r from the date of the certificate of occupancy of the

. . . . •
Supp.No.21 423
' . 7.8 TEQUESTA CODE § 7-6
(3) The atmosphere within the parking lot is to be park-like
rather than the harsh hardstand of paving. Fifteen (15)
percent minimum of the gross parking area is to be devoted
to living landscaping, which includes grass, ground cover,
plants, shrubs and trees. Trees are of primary importance
in the landscape. They are not to be minimized in height
nor in quantity.The tree imparts,especially in a relatively
•
flat area, a sense of three dimensional space, it casts
shadows that reduce the monotony of the expanse of paving
and creates a refuge from the tropical sun. Signs desig-
nating entrances, exists, regulations, etc., in excess of two
(2) square feet are to be of a tasteful design and subject to
review by the board.The pavement is to be more than wall
to wall asphalt.It is recommended that pavement be varied
in texture or color designating lanes for automobile traffic,
pedestrian walks and parking spaces. Bright colored pave-
ment is to be used only with restraint. In order to create a
pleasant atmosphere it is recommended that consideration
also be given to sculpture, fountains, gardens, pools and
benches. Design emphasis is to be given to the entrances
and exits to the lot. Trash, refuse and unaesthetic storage
and mechanical equipment must be screened from view in
accordance with village requirements.
(4) Lighting is to be designed not only from a standpoint of
safety and vandalism, but for visual effect. It is not
to create an annoyance to the neighbors, nor is it to
impart a prison-like atmopshere. Low lights of a human
scale can be used along with feature lighting em-
• phasizing plants, trees, barriers, entrances, exits, etc.
The fixtures are to be selected not only for their func-
tional value but for their aesthetic value.
(e) Definitions.
(1) Proper design concepts refers to architectural planning
and to the analysis of the whole structure in terms
of forms and composition, color, materials, and surface
decoration. It includes scale in relationship to scale of
adjacent buildings and landscape. It applies to inner
character of the individual project. It. applies in the
Supp.No.21 424
§ 7-6 COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD ¢ 7-6
same manner to alterations and advertising on the
project (building). No one will be permitted the excuse
that the area contains other unsightly buildings.
(2) Honest design construction concerns proper design of
all work in its details,the uses of weather resistant ma-
terials, etc. Applies also to advertising. Cheap and
poorly designated work must always be discouraged.
(3) Appropriate to surroundings does not mean uniformity
in style or subordination to existing buildings, but
rather to bringing new buildings into an orderly rela-
tionship with landscape and nature, other buildings and
open areas. Again, scale and composition come into
importance, related here to adjacent properties. Sur-
roundings are not only the buildings within a neighbor-
hood,but shall be considered as the total picture. Future
surroundings must also be weighed. Advertising signs
on buildings must be appropriate to the surroundings
in the same way.
(4) Scale. The character of any architectural work is de-
termined both in its internal space and in its external
volume by the fundamental factor of a scale, the rela-
tion between the dimensions of a building and the di-
mensions of man. Every building is qualified by scale.
(5) Space. The experience of space, a characteristic of
architecture, has its extension in the village, in the
streets, squares, alleys and parks, in the playgrounds
and in the gardens,wherever man has defined or limited
a void and so has created an enclosed space. If in the
interior of a building, space is defined by six planes,
(floor, ceiling and four walls) this does not mean that
a void enclosed by five (5) planes instead of six (6),
as, for example (a roofless) courtyard or public square
—cannot be regarded with equal validity as space. All
urban space wherever the view is screened off,whether
by stone walls or rows of trees or embankments, pre-
sents the same features we find in architectural space.
Every building creates two (2) kinds of space: its in-
Supp.Na 22 425
J
I 7.8 TEQUESTA CODE 4 7-8
• ternal space, completely defined by the building itself
and its external or urban space, defined by that building
and the others around it. All objects—bridges, foun-
tains, groups of trees, walls, and in particular, the fa-
cades of buildings—are brought into play in the crea-
tion of urban space.
(6) Proportion. The relation of the parts of a building to each
other and to the whole of the building.Proportion is closely
tied to the scale of a building. (Ord. No. 208, 4 8, 4-24-73;
Ord. No. 396, f 1, 3-8-90)
Sec. 7-7. Powers and duties as the official tree board of the
village.
In addition to the functions provided pursuant to the other
provisions of this chapter,the community appearance board shall
constitute the official Tree Board of the Village of Tequesta and
as such shall:

written community tree management program and sup-
porting work plan which, upon acceptance by the village
council,shall constitute the official comprehensive tree plan
for the village.
2. Annually prepare plans for a Tequesta Annual Arbor Day
ceremony, for approval by the village council.
3. Make recommendations to the village council upon any
matter coming within the scope of its work, as deemed
nee:PA.wary.
4. Perform any other duties assigned by the village council.
