Each waiver request was discussed by the Board. During
discussion of Waiver 11, Vice Chair Strahan suggested that
a taller shrub be planted at the base of the sign plus
addition of plants cc the east and west sides to soften the
concrete base. Waiver 13 : Property manager Harriet Smith
requested suggestions to make the dumpster less of an
eyesore since there was no room to move it anywhere else on
the property. Suggestions were possibly enclosing it with
a chainlink fence covered with vines and an electric roll-up
gate, painting vines on the dumpster, or moving it inside
the covered parking area. Boardmember Dalack suggested •
planter boxes on the two open levels of the building to
soften the building and increase the green area. Ms. Smith
objected, and commented she did not believe the plants would
survive.
Motion was made by Boardmember Coben to approve the
application with Waiver 11 to be changed to 5 trees provided
instead of 6, to add accent plants at the base of the sign
at the intersection of Tequesta Drive and Old Dixie Highway
and to replace six philodendron around the backflow
preventors with a new native thick hedge. Motion was
seconded by Boardmember McCormick. The vote on the motion
was:
Vic Strahan - for
Paul Coben - for
Claudette Dalack - against
Molly McCormick - for
The motion was therefore approved and adopted.
Vice Chair Strahan suggested to Harriet Smith that she try
one planter as an experiment to see if the plants would

survive, and to look at Golden Bear and Reynolds Plaza as
examples. Boardmember Coben suggested that the dumpster
should be the same color as the building. - Clerk of the
Board Ladd stated that if the Board desired, at their
suggestion the franchise agreement could be rewritten to
make dumpster colors compatible with the building colors.
Boardmember McCormick left the meeting at 10 :28 A.M.
2) An application from George G. Gentile & Associates for
review of preliminary landscape plans for Ordinance #377
compliance for Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran
Church, 46 Willow Road.
Mr. George Gentile reviewed the application and explained
that the parking area had been reconfigured to comply.
with the landscape code by removing pavement to provide
landscape islands, but that a waiver was being requested
to provide relief from the opaque fence requirement. Mr.
Gentile explained that there was an existing hedge on the
south half of the western property line and on almost all
of the south property line which 'would be disrupted by
construction of a fence, that a fence would be very
costly to the small congregation, and that the. limited
use of the church did not impact the adjacent residential
homes.
Also requested was a waiver to provide a phasing plan to
implement the revised plan which would include
modification to the pavement areas, new landscaping and
a revised irrigation system. The 5-year phasing plan
would allow time for fund raising activities by the 150-
family congregation to pay for the landscaping, and was
proposed as follows:
1. Within the first year of Village Council approval,
landscaping along Willow Road and t1e entrance to
