Dear Mr. Ladd,
In reference to the above matter, we would like to save the 56 Queen Palms
which were requested to be removed.
We propose a Palm fertilization plan every 3-4 months using magnesum sulfate
and magnese.
A nine (9) month window should be sufficient to treat the palms in question.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Sonny:
RE: Community Appearance Board Review

County Line Plaza, 506-722 U.S. One North, Tequesta
This letter is to confirm the action of the Village of Tequesta Community Appearance Board at

submitted with the five waivers identified on Sheet#LA 1 of 2.

requested landscape waivers. Upon receipt of the revised plans, with the five requested waivers
identified, this will be placed on the agenda of the next available Council meeting. You and for
your representative will need to be in attendance at this meeting to present your application to
the Council.
Very truly yours,
Scott D. Ladd

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 side 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.
110111140 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.
Sonny Perna, Landscape Architect with Junson, Inc. ,
explained that he had advised the owner that plants must
be installed in quantities and sizes well above minimum
requirements and then must be maintained properly. Mr.
Paniccia had sent a letter to the Village, a copy of
which is attached hereto and made a- part of these minutes
as "Exhibit A", stating that the landscaping at
Community Appearance Board

Page 6
Countyline Plaza would be properly maintained. Mr. Perna
reported that the owner would be spending $75, 000 to
$80, 000 to upgrade this center and that in many cases
quantities and sizes of plants were well over minimum
requirements. Boardmember Coben stated that minimum
requirements would not make the center attractive, and
that landscaping must be upgraded to match competition.
Mr. Perna explained that the oak trees that had been
planted in the parking lot several years ago were poorly
installed--that they had been planted in the burlap bags
and were still sitting exactly as they had gone into the
ground, and the roots had not grown out of the burlap.
Those trees would be taken to a tree farm and some credit
given against new plants. Mr. Perna explained that
plants which would be removed were 74 oaks, 56 sabal or
queen palms, and 1, 000 linear feet of hedge material.
Many sabal palms had died and the remaining stumps had
been counted. Mr. Perna explained that not only the
buffers would be redone, but also interior spaces to
screen buildings.
Mr. Perna requested the following, waivers:
1 . Four islands in parking area along west side of
retail area in service portion of parking lot
required; 2 provided. Clerk of the Board Ladd
explained that since previous variance requests had
reduced the number of parking spaces from 1, 125 to
901, it would be a hardship to delete more parking
spaces. The Board agreed to this waiver.
2 . In the parking area on the north side of Winn
Dixie, 18 landscape islands required; 12 provided.
Mr. Perna explained that the only existing plants
that would be kept would be the tabbabuah, and that
the size of the plants that would be installed
would be large. The Board agreed to this waiver.
3. In parking area located on the south side of the
Clock Restaurant two islands required; 0 provided.
Mr. Perna explained that the new concept he had
provided was to ring parking areas with
landscaping, so that interior spaces were isolated.
Community Appearance Board '
Meeting Minutes

Page 7
The Board agreed to this waiver.
4 . In the area west of Atlantic Bank and East of Jo-
Go' s two landscape islands required; one provided.
The Board agreed to this waiver since this area was
very busy.
5. On the south side of Winn Dixie, 4 landscape
islands required; 2 provided. Clerk of the Board
Scott D. Ladd reminded the Board that this shopping
center had been designed prior to Ordinance 377,
and therefore the islands had not been positioned
to meet 377 requirements, but that this plan would
really beef up the area in back of Winn Dixie. Mr.
Perna commented he had provided materials for that
area per Mr. Ladd' s request, consisting of 16 new
sabal palms underplanted with 3 cocoplum and/or
necklace pod sopoforia per palm, 13 phoenix
reclinata cluster palms and 7 areca palms all
underplanted with 5 spider plants per palm, and 9
queen palms underplanted with 4 dwarf faxahatchee
grass per palm. In addition, existing oleander
would remain.. Mr. Perna commented that he had met
the native requirements, and provided full
vegetation with a tropical look. The Board agreed
to the waiver since the proposed vegetation would
more than compensate for the two missing islands.
Mr. Perna explained that at the request of Mr. Ladd
this same theme would be carried out on the west
side of Winn Dixie in the dumpster area. Vice
Chair Strahan pointed out that any plants damaged
by cold were required to be replaced by the owner.
Clerk of the Board Ladd reported that this center did not
have a 4-foot hedge and planter which should have been
there according to code, and that he had requested those
additions. Mr. Perna explained that the hedge material
would be brush cherry eugenia mertifolia which because of
its thickness and versatility could be maintained in as
little as a 1-foot width. Mr. Ladd added that this area
contained underground pipes and required plants with
shallow roots, high heat tolerance, and low irrigation

requirements. Mr. Ladd explained this was an addition
that had never been there, which would be a nice
addition. Mr. Ladd commented that the bulk of the
buildings were satisfactory except in front where
plantings would normally be; however, there were canopied
walkways, and plantings existed forward of the canopies,
which were being upgraded.
Mr. Perna explained that the , buffer along Village
Boulevard would be upgraded with clusters of 5 queen
palms alternated with 3 sabal palmettos to screen Winn
Dixie, underplanted with the same materials he had used
on the south side of Winn-Dixie so that the look would be
layered, and that 1, 000 feet of lineal hedge would be
replaced using 24" native stopper. Mr. Perna explained
that at the corner of Village Boulevard and U.S. One that
7 queen palms would be clustered and underplanted with
areca palms; and that new live oaks on 30-foot centers
would be located on the entire length of U.S. One to the
north property line of the project, also encompassing the
K-Mart area. These live oaks would be installed at 14 '
height with 6' spread with 6' clear trunk, or 4-1/2"
caliper. Both entrances located at the frontage of U.S.
One were being upgraded with new queen palms and also at
the north entry. Coming into the south entry along Winn
Dixie, the new theme would be Washingtonians which would
be placed in the medians on both sides abreast the entry,
continuing around the entire perimeter 25' on center
along the entire Winn Dixie frontage heading west, along
all the retail stores heading north, underplanted with
combinations of cryallis and African white iris. On
interior islands, all the dead queen palms (twenty) would
be replaced; along the south ' side of the K-Mart phase
line 25 new sabal palms would be installed, 5 per island,
underplanted with cocoplum and/or necklace pod. Mr.
Perna explained that Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design guidelines had been followed so that
plants were low and high with clear view in the middle.
Mr. Perna stated that wax myrtle could be a problem since
it branched low, to which Chair Leslie Cook responded it
might have to be replaced with ligustrum. Mr. Perna
stated that at both entrances he had also added
combinations of yellow and purple lantana and masses of

pentas.
Mr. Perna reported that the 60% native requirement of
Ordinance 377 had been met. Clerk of the Board Ladd
stated that a variance had been received for total
landscape to area percentage of 18.3% and that only 15%
was required in the parking lot. Mr. Perna added that
his planting specifications called for soil and
fertilization amenities, and that because of the previous
problems with the site he had noted on the first page of
the plan, "See attached sheet for soil provisions--these
are applicable to this job", so that there could be no
question. Mr. Perna reported he had made recommendations
to the owner regarding bidders for this job.
Boardmember Coben commented that this plan was what had
been hoped for years ago. Mr. Perna stated he believed
the owner was sincere, and that it was very important for
this center to be maintained properly if they wanted to
compete with Wal-Mart.
The progress which had been made on K-Mart' s remodeling
was discussed. Mr. Perna reported that the owner of the
shopping center had agreed to a shrine somewhere on the
property to commemorate the murdered girl who had been
buried behind K-Mart, which would be coming before the
Village for approval. Mr. Ladd reported that a 42-unit
ALCF extended care facility was planned for 2-1/2 acres
of adjacent property.
Boardmember Coben commented that the five waivers
requested were minor compared to almost every other area
of the project in which requirements were exceeded.
Boardmember Coben made a motion to accept this application
with the five waivers as spelled out at this meeting.
Motion was seconded by Boardmember McCormick, and
unanimously passed.
