OF THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD
JULY 3, 1979
A meeting of the Village of Tequesta Community Appearance Board
was held at 9:00 A. M. , Tuesday, July 3, 1979 in the Village Hall, 357
Tequesta Drive, Tequesta, Florida. Board members present were: R. Butterfield,
Chairman, Cleveland, Hartman and Stoddard. Also present were R. Harp, Clerk
of the Board and A. W. Butterfield, Building Official.
The Chairman advised that the meeting had been called for the purposes
as shown in the Notice of the Meeting.
The first matter for consideration was landscaping plans for George-
towne Place Townhouses, Cypress Drive north of Tequesta Drive. Community Ap-
pearance Board approval for other requirements of the plans was made at the
February 14, 1979 Meeting of the Board. Martin Sanders was present represent-
ing the owner of the townhouses. The Chairman advised Sanders that the function
of the Community Appearance Board was to approve the external appearance of build-
ings and landscaping for construction on Zoning Districts R-2, R-3, C-1 and
C-2 and that the decisions of the Board have no bearing or relationship to
other approvals which must be obtained before a building permit is issued.
These approvals include, but are not limited to, Site Plan Review, Zoning,
Building Codes and Fire District.
The Board reviewed the landscaping plan prepared by�J. McElheny of
George L. Armas and Associates - Landscape Architects, Drawing L-1, C/007/79,
dated June 23, 1979. Sanders advised that an additional trash bin was to be
provided on a concrete pad and screened. He agreed to install swinging double
gates of cypress wood to match courtyard gates on street side of both bins. He
also agreed to fully sod the front center area instead of using 2" aggregate
and the Board discussed the possibility of planting a ficus tree on the north
and southwest corner of this area instead of Cortederia Selloana trees indicated
on the landscape plan. Sanders stated he would like the option to use ficus if
he desired. Cleveland said the landscape plan had been prepared by a Landscape
Architect and the Board should approve same and not tell the applicant what to do.
Stoddard moved, second by Hartman that the landscape plan as sub-
mitted be approved, subject to deleting the 2" aggregate and replacing with
full sodding in the front center area and installation of cypress wood gates
for screening of the trash bins, the vote on the motion was:
Stoddard For
Hartman For
Cleveland For
R. Butterfield For
and the mot-Lon therefore passed. The Board members then signed George L.
Armas and Associates Landscape Plan, Drawing L-1, C/007/79, June 23,
1979.

Chairman Butterfield advised that the next item for consideration
was the landscaping, driveway and parking plans for St. Judes Church Parish
Center, U. S. Highway No. 1, Tequesta. Stanley Oblaczynski was in attendance
represent.ing the Church. These items had previously been found deficient at
the June 6, 1979 Board meeting. R. Butterfield advised the applicant's re-
presentative of the functions of the Community Appearance Board and that the
Board's approval would not have any bearing or relationship to any other ap-
provals which mustbe obtained before a building permit is issued. The Building
Official advised that the construction was only for the south tract of the
Church's property and the total lot coverage would be only 5%.
The Board reviewed and discussed the parking areas and ingress and
egress. The ingress and egress are not Board concerns and additional parking
is to be provided at the parish center. Oblaczynski said the new center would
not be able to be seen too much from U. S. Highway No. 1. The site was discussed
as to its relationship with the surrounding commercial areas such as Tequesta
Fashion Square, Cologne Motel and K Mart. The Board reviewed and discussed the
landscaping plans on Page 3 of the Engineer's Drawing for the parish center.
The Board members expressed concern that the plans had not been done by a
Landscape Architect. The Church representative said the Church did not have
any funds for this purpose at this time. Cleveland expressed his displeasure
with the design. Cleveland moved, seconded by Hartman that the landscape plan
on Page 3 of the plans, Earl H. Martin, Engineer , Job C 556, November 1978 and
the parking and driveway on Page 1 of the same plan be approved as submitted.
The vote on the matter was:
Cleveland For
Hartman For
Stoddard For
R. Butterfield For
and the motion therefore passed. The Board members then signed the plans for
St. Judes Parish Center, Earl H. Martin, Engineer, Job C 556, November 1978.
The Board made note that the matter for consideration of Wendy's
Restaurant had been deleted from the Agenda at the request of the applicant.
The meeting adjourned at 10:02 A. M.
