CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The Tequesta Community Appearance Board held a regularly scheduled meeting at the Village Hall , 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida, on Wednesday, December 21 , 1994 . The meeting was called to order at 9: 35 A.M. by Chairperson Leslie Cook. Boardmembers present were: Chairperson Leslie Cook, Vice Chairman Victor Strahan, Claudette Dalack, Ruth Maitland, and Paul Coben. Also in attendance was Steven Kennedy, Deputy Building Official . II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The Board approved the agenda. III. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MEETING MINUTES (November 16, 1994) The Board approved the minutes as submitted. IV. NEW BUSINESS: 1) An application from the Village of Tequesta for a branch public library facility with parking lot and landscaping, 461 Old Dixie Highway, Tequesta. Village Manager Bradford explained that because the interlocal agreement with Palm Beach County called for completion of the library by a date certain, after which penalties would accrue at the expense of the Village, that the Village wished to move ahead with the project rapidly. Village Manager Bradford introduced Michael Reich, President of Select Contracting, contractor for the project; Dan Kanovan, Architect; and Gary Van Brock, representative for the Dorner Trust, which donated the 1.069 acres at no cost to the Village; and explained that Tequesta would own the land and the building, that Palm Beach County would lease Recycled Paper COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES December 28, 1994 Page 2 the building for library purposes at $1 . 00 per year for 50 years, and that Tequesta would make up the construction shortfall that would not be paid by the County. The project would be considered by the Village Council for special exception public hearing and site plan review at their upcoming January 12 meeting. The Village Manager produced a tree survey which depicted existing trees on the property, the majority of which were slash pines, and pointed out those trees which could be saved, including a cluster of pines and small oaks at the front of the site, next to the post office. Michael Reicht explained that an integrated plan showing the site plan with landscaping would be completed during the next week. Chairperson Cook commented that the Board could not see how the existing trees would fit into the landscaping without the integrated plan. Village Manager Bradford explained that the landscaping would consist of 80 more plantings than were approved for the previous library site, and that the landscaping exceeded the 25% open space requirement. In response to Chairperson Cook, Village Manager Bradford explained that the building plan was required by the County and that the Village had no choice of plans. Architect Kanovan explained that the parking lot had been placed in front of the building in order to be able to use the setback for parking. The Board discussed colors for the roof, the building walls, and the sign. It was the consensus of the Board that the roof color would be Weathering Copper, and chose MAB Windridge White No 5106P for the stucco building walls and the sign background to blend with neighboring structures. Dark bronze was chosen for the sign letters. In response to Boardmember Maitland, Architect Kanovan explained that the building was not expandable and that no room existed on the site for expansion. Boardmember Maitland stated that as a citizen she questioned building a library for 50 years that is the same size as the one the Village has today. Village Manager Bradford explained that in the near future branch libraries would become smaller and obsolete as we now know them since computers would access information from the main library. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES December 28, 1994 Page 3 The Board then discussed the landscaping in detail. In response to Boardmember Coben, Mr. Reicht explained that Washington palms were prettier, more formal , and more expensive than Queen palms, and that Palm Beach County would maintain the landscaping. Chairperson Cook objected to the use of Trailing Lantana since it would not last longer than two years before replacement would be necessary. Boardmember Coben reported that Stephen Parker, a landscape architect and an alternate member of the Community Appearance Board, had suggested either Wax Myrtle or Simpson Stopper around the dumpster, and low maintenance, bug resistant Ilex Crenada Compacta to replace the Silver Buttonwoods, which would require high maintenance and were not cold hardy. Chairperson Cook commented that she would like to speak with Mr. Parker for his suggestions for replacement plants for the Trailing Lantana and the Crinum Lily. The suggested Fakahatchee grass was described by Village Manager Bradford as a cold hardy evergreen ground cover which blooms twice a year, with blooms resembling sea oats. The Boardmembers were concerned since they could not see the impact of the existing trees on the landscape plan. After a short discussion it was decided that the Board would make recommendations which would be incorporated into the integrated plan which would then be resubmitted to the Community Appearance Board at a meeting to be scheduled for January 11 , prior to the Village Council meeting on January 12. The Board discussed the color for the site lighting fixtures and decided on the dark bronze which had been chosen for the sign letters. Motion was made by Boardmember Coben to accept the library plans as submitted with the exception that the final decision on the landscaping plan be deferred until the Community Appearance Board received a revised rendering which incorporates existing trees and the several changes which are enumerated as follows: 1. Simpson Stopper to be used for plantings around the dumpster. 2. Replace the 286 Silver Buttonwood with Ilex Crenada Compacta. 3. Washington Palms are acceptable. 4. Replace Crinum Lily with something pretty that is COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES December 28, 1994 Page 4 same price, i.e. , philodendron split leaf. 5. Incorporate trees to be saved into the final plan. 6. Replace Trailing Lantana with a stronger plant that has a longer life span, preferably flowering, that is approximately the same price. 7. The building color to be MAB Windridge White, Number 5106P. 8. The roof color to be Weathering Copper. 9. The electric lighting fixtures to be dark bronze. 10. The sign letters to be dark bronze. 11. The sign stucco to be the same color as the building. Motion was seconded by Boardmember Strahan. Motion carried unanimously. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: There was no unfinished business to come before the Board. VI. COMMUNICATION FROM CITIZENS Wade Griest commented that by delaying approval of a library site for so long the Village had lost over $300,000 in county funds, and he believed that now the Village Council was so concerned with the time that they did not want anything to interfere and that they would approve the Board's decisions so that Tequesta could have a library. VII. ANY OTHER MATTERS Boardmember Maitland brought up the matter of the manual revisions, asked that all the boardmembers review the revised plan, and suggested the Board meet either earlier or stay later at the next meeting to decide this matter. The Board discussed the fact that the manual revisions and a report from the Village Clerk regarding the amount of funds available for the railroad landscaping were to have been placed on the agenda for this meeting but were not, and decided that both items would be on the agenda for the next meeting. Boardmember Dalack discussed the lack of a planter and plants at Village Square and requested they be notified by the Building Department. Deputy Building Official Kennedy stated that they would be significantly impacted by the COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES December 28, 1994 Page 5 landscape ordinance which would be effective in March, 1995.

Bradford, Village Manager ?��� DATE : January 3, 1995 SUBJECT: Community Appearance Board Meeting, December 28, 1994 The Tequesta Branch Library Project, at its new location on Old Dixie Highway, was reviewed by the Tequesta Community Appearance Board relative to the overall site plan and the site plan for the proposed permanent signage. Those associated with the Project in attendance were Michael Reich, Select Contracting, Inc. , Gary Van Brock, Van Brock Construction, Dan Canavan, MPA Architects and Tom Bradford, Tequesta. Changes to the site plan requested by the Community Appearance Board are as follows : 1 ) Landscaping surrounding the proposed dumpster shall be "Simpson Stopper" . 2 ) The proposed 286 Silver Buttonwoods were determined to not be cold hearty. The Community Appearance Board requests that they be replaced with " Ilex Compacta" , of which I am not familiar. Perhaps the CAB is referring to Ilex Vomitoria "Nana" , commonly referred to as the Dwarf Yaupon. 3) As to the proposed Crinum Lily, CAB wishes these to be replaced with "Split-Leaf Philodendron" . I believe that specifically they are referring to the species Philodendron Selloum which does make for a handsome groundcover for big scale areas and public buildings . 4 ) CAB wishes for the trees proposed to be saved to be incorporated in a revised landscape plan for the Project. 5 ) As to the proposed "Trailing Lantana" , CAB feels that this species has a short life span and wishes it to be replaced with a stronger plant with longer life span having approximately the same price and preferring the chosen species to be of a flowering variety. Page 2- 6) The landscape plan is to be revised as noted above and brought back before the CAB for a final review at a meeting to be scheduled on January 11, 1995, 9 : 30 A.M. The Project can proceed with Special Exception Public Hearing and Site Plan Review at their Meeting on January 12 , 1995 at 7 : 00 P.M. 7 ) The proposed lighting fixtures are to be the same dark bronze color as proposed for the lettering upon the permanent signage. 8) The CAB chosen paint color for the building facade and permanent signage is- MAB Windridge White No. 5106P. The plant list needs to be delineated in a spreadsheet format, sample copy attached, incorporating all requirements of Tequesta Ordinances . Copy of same was provided to Michael Reich for transmittal to Landscape Architect, Gus Perna. This request is in addition to the key providing same on the landscape plans . The final site plan and final revised landscape plan, both of which are necessary for the CAB Meeting on January 11 and the Village Council meeting on January 12 must be in the possession of the Department of Community Development by no later than Noon, Thursday, January 5, 1995.
