An application from Christ the King Lutheran Church, 46 Willow Road, Elizabeth Colome, Architect, for additions and renovations to the existing Church, Preschool and Fellowship Hall. Elizabeth Colome, Architect, displayed and reviewed the plans for the building additions . Also present representing the applicant was Mr. Glenn Krebec. Ms . Colome explained that all additions and buildings would be the same color, with asphalt shingles, and the rooflines blended. Color samples were distributed, which were in the cream - brown range. Ms. Colome explained that the existing roof was asphalt, and that the existing roof was not built to accommodate the heavier weight of tile. Vice Chair Strahan commented he had gone to look at the roof, that it was only visible to a few houses, and it would not be any more obvious with the new addition. Boardmember Cook made a motion to accept the extension of the church and the fellowship hall and the pre-school, accepting the colors as provided and the building materials as provided. Boardmember Dalack seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Vic Strahan - for Leslie Cook - for Claudette Dalack - for Steve Parker - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. Ms . Colome explained the retention area and the proposed drainage system. Ms . Colome explained that any landscaping in good condition and that was desirable would be maintained with plants infilled where needed. Two Royal palms were proposed to define the entryway, and overgrown high landscaping was planned to be moved to the rear of the property. The four existing queen palms would remain and would be matched on the other side of the building. Signage landscaping would be added. Chair Coben objected to the large amount of spider lilies and day lilies since COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES MARCH 29, 2000 PAGE 3 they probably would not survive more than two or three years. Problems with these plants were discussed. Mr. Parker commented that the project was at 75% native and only 60% native was needed, so some of the plants could be replaced. Boardmember Cook commented that money would be wasted if these plants had to be replaced in a few years . The location of the sign was clarified. Ms. Colome explained that the hedge would be moved to be behind the sign. A wax myrtle hedge that was being maintained was along the west property line. Planner Erwin verified that all Ordinance 377 landscaping work had been completed. Mr. Parker noted the site was bare of landscaping on the north elevation, to which Ms . Colome responded that was the children' s play area and there was a hedge along the property line. Mr. Parker suggested adding three cabbage palms to break up that elevation. The coco plum hedge was requested to be kept at a convenient trimming height and not so tall that kids could hide behind it, since there had been recent vandalism problems. Discussion ensued regarding proper hedge height, and reduction of the number of spider lilies and day lilies. The parking lot lighting was discussed. Ms. Colome explained that the ground floods were for the sign and the light would be kept low because of being near a residential area. 18" black poles would be the supports for the parking lot lights, which would be turned toward the church. The rooflines were discussed. Boardmember Dalack recommended placing plants in front of the three blank building areas, and the Board agreed that three white bird of paradise plants would look nice. Boardmember Parker made a motion to approve the landscaping plan, exterior lighting, and signage for Christ the King Lutheran Church, 46 Willow Road, with the following conditions: 1 . The perimeter cocoplum hedge shall be maintained at 3' height rather than 5' . 2 . Add three (3) cabbage palms to the north side of the existing Fellowship Hall in a grouping of three with 14 ' -16' overall height, or two oaks with a 12 ' overall height. 3 . Replace 20% of the day lilies and spider lilies CONMKUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES MARCH 29, 2000 PAGE 4 with a hardier, more permanent perennial plant, insuring that the minimum of 60% native overall is attained. An option is to replace all the day lilies and spider lilies as long as a minimum of 60% native overall is attained. Boardmember Dalack seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was : Vic Strahan - for Leslie Cook - for Claudette Dalack - for Steve Parker - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. VII . UNFINISHED BUSINESS Boardmember Cook discussed the deplorable condition of the landscaping at the new post office . It was noted that Mr . Ladd had commented it was a Federal project and the Village could not get the landscaping changed. Boardmember Cook suggested the Chair of the Community Appearance Board write a letter to the Postmaster and to the local Congressman and appeal to them to see if the Community Appearance Board could have some control of the landscaping. Vice Chair Strahan suggested giving Chairman Coben a summary of the situation from which to write a letter, and it was also suggested that a copy of the letter be sent to the Village Manager and to the Village Council. Boardmember Parker volunteered to go to the site with the plan to check the existing landscaping. Planner Kara Irwin was requested to provide a copy of the plan to Boardmember Cook. Wade Griest commented it was his understanding that the government rented the property for the post office and questioned whether the property owner would be responsible for the landscaping. Planner Irwin was requested to check to see if the new post office was leased from Mr. Van Brock. Plans for the old post office were reported that it was to become a facility for a medical service for diabetic supplies . Vice Chair Strahan commented that cleaning the roof would help the building. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES MARCH 29, 2000 PAGE 5 VIII. ANY OTHER MATTERS Boardmember Cook questioned why installation of the monument signs on Country Club Drive had stopped. Boardmember Dalack reported that the Tequesta Country Club Community Association had held a meeting and they were paying for the signs and the landscaping. Boardmember Cook commented that ENCON' s work was killing the trees the Village had planted and questioned if they were responsible to replace the trees, and requested that Planner Irwin find out and report back at the next meeting. Vice Chair Strahan commented that any contractor who damaged anything was responsible for replacement. Boardmember Cook requested that Gary Preston be contacted regarding the landscaping area in front of Village Hall by the front sidewalk that had dead plants, and requested that Planner Irwin bring this to Mr. Ladd' s attention.
