Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes August 16, 1995 Page 4 19 . 60% of required plant materials to be native species, 30% provided (100% of new plant material to be native species) . 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 Community Appearance Board Meeting Minutes August 16, 1995 Page 5 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.
