regarding its approval or denial during the meeting that evening. Mr. Hubsch continued to his
presentation for 236 US Highway One.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
After Mr. Hubsch completed his presentation on 236 US Highway One, the board opened
discussion to public comment. Alternate Sapirie recommended that the Board approve the
proposed colors, conditional upon the removal of the artificial turf located in the front of the
building. Alternate Sapirie also recommended in the future providing larger paint samples for the
Board to review as the photo renderings can be misleading.
Mr. Modica responded that the turf was in place when the property was acquired and they are
unable at this time to remove.

Following public comment, regarding 236 US Highway One, Board Chair Leslie Dasher opened
the topic of discussion to the Board. Member Schauer approved of the chosen color pallet and
informed the Board that the turf had been previously approved to aid in outdoor seating in the
time of the pandemic. Member Sherry Ambrose had no comment. Member McEldowney
questioned if the proposed paint scheme matched that of nearby restaurant, Lynoras. Mr. Modica
responded that while aiming for cohesion with the community, the colors were not intended to be
identical. Board Chair Leslie Dasher complimented the variety. Member Maggio comments that
she was happy to see the diversion from the clay color that was so prominent on US Highway
One. Member Ambrose sought clarification on the color of the wall sign. Mr. Modica responded
that they have no intention of adding a second sign at this time.
MOTION: Member Schauer made a motion to recommend approval of SPM-1-24. Member
Maggio seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously 5-0.
