V. NEW BUSINESS 1. Application from Gallery Square North for the following changes to the property: a) repaint the exterior of the Gallery from sea foam green to Benjamin Moore Champagne #1521 with the trim and accent painted Aquatint #844; b) replace exterior awnings with white awnings with black accent; c) repaint the cobblestone in the Courtyard to Benjamin Moore Gray #1461; d) repaint the existing wall signs Benjamin Moore Black #1603; and e) repaint existing monument sign to match building/wall sign colors. Cyrese Colbert presented the request on behalf of the applicant. Also present on behalf of the applicant were Dorothy Campbell, owner of the property, and Dick Clue, Continental Interiors. Ms. Colbert explained that the proposed awnings would be white with black trim, that the cobblestone pavers would be repainted from red to gray, and that all sign lettering would be black. Planner Kara Irwin explained to the Board that if the Community Appearance Board approved a uniform signage to apply to all signs, then individuals would not have to return over and over again for signage. It was pointed out that the awnings at Lighthouse Gallery contained lettering. Margaret Inserra, Director of Lighthouse Gallery, commented the lettering would be redone in black. Mrs. Campbell noted that formerly the signage had been required to be either blue or black, and the desire was to change to all black. It was explained that Lighthouse Gallery wanted to change their name and logo as of January 1, 2000, and that the proposed name was Lighthouse Center for the Arts. Acting Clerk of the Board Kara Irwin advised that Lighthouse Gallery would need to return to present an application for such a change. Ms. Inserra responded that she had spoken to Joanne Burnsed in the Community Development Department, who had told her the Lighthouse Gallery request could be dovetailed with the Gallery Square North applicaction, and stated also that Joanne had told COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES December 1, 1999 Page 3 her the Lighthouse Gallery request would fall under the proposed scheme of Gallery Square North. Ms. Inserra presented a handout which depicted the new signage containing the wording for the awnings. Ms. Inserra commented that the proposed Lighthouse Gallery awnings were in the color scheme chosen for the uniform signage, which was black. Chair Cook commented that with the change, the name would no longer contain the word Gallery. Ms. Inserra explained it was hoped that describing the gallery as Lighthouse Center for the Arts in Gallery Square North would benefit the other galleries in the shopping center. Boardmember Parker made a motion to approve the new exterior colors for Gallery Square North, replacement of current awnings with white awnings with black accents, and repainting the cobblestones; and to approve the new sign Lighthouse Center for the Arts, that falls within the uniform color signage of black. Boardmember Dalack seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Claudette Dalack - for Steve Parker - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. Note: The Lighthouse Gallery submission had not been a part of the agenda for this meeting. (See attachment) 2. An application from Jupiter Speedi Sign, Inc. , to replace the identification/tenant sign at Inlet Professional Building, 175 Tequesta Drive, with a 3' x 9' high density foam sign, green background, gold lettering with red accent color, reading "Inlet Professional Building" placed above a 27" x 9" redwood directory sign with plastic individual tenant signs in black vinyl lettering. Jeffrey A. Weiss of Jupiter Speedy Sign, Inc. , was present on behalf of the applicant. Mr. Weiss reviewed the proposed signage and presented color chips of the actual paint colors. Mr. Weiss described the sign material, which was proposed to be high density foam similar to that used in surfboards. The background would be recessed so that the lettering would be raised, and the overall sign would be the same length as the existing sign. The Board expressed their approval for the COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES December 1, 1999 Page 4 proposed sign. Mr. Weiss commented that the owners might like to have a similar second sign in the future, and that he would return with another application. Boardmember Dalack made a motion to approve the application from Jupiter Speed' Sign, Inc. , with the suggestion that plants be installed at the base of the sign. Boardmember Parker seconded the motion. During discussion of the motion, Boardm Mber Parker recommended that the plants at the base of the sign be five or six Dwarf Crown of Thorns sufficient to fill the open space under the sign. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Claudette Dalack - for Steve Parker - for The motion was therefore passed and adopted. VII. ANY OTHER NATTERS Boardmember Parker recommended that the gaps along Tequesta Drive be filled with oak trees, and also recommended Ilex be used as a shrub for the planting area at the Village Hall to replace the existing shrubs which did not look good. Boardmember Parker explained that the oak trees which were dying were ones which had been blown over in the hurricane and that if they turned brown without dropping their leaves they would die. During discussion of who would bear the cost of replacement trees, Planner Kara Irwin explained that the trees had been included in the storm damage estimate presented to FEMA for reimbursement. Boardmember Parker commented that he would talk to Gary Preston regarding filling in the gaps with trees and replacing the current shrubs with Ilex. Chair Cook commented that the post office had lost a lot of plants and she had intended to tell them their sprinklers were not working, but they had now replaced the plants on the south border, which looked very good. Chair Cook commented that the landscaping at the water plant looked nice. Boardmember Parker commented that the new apartment complex had ,begun planting around their berm, and that he had wanted red cypress trees but George Gentile had wanted the slash pine. Mr. Parker stated he was upset that he had not insisted on the red cypress trees because the slash pines were spindly and would take a long time • COMMONITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES December 1, 1999 Page 5 to fill in. Chair Cook commented that the apartment complex was a nice looking project and expressed hope they would have an open house. VIII. ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 A.M.
