Tonight's Tequesta Towers application had been brought back without complete information, setbacks and impervious areas should be resolved before being brought to the Board; and he felt this issue should be resolved. Chair Schauer commented years ago there was a checklist. Discussion ensued. Ghair Schauer asked the Village Attorney to check on a view obstruction ordinance because other condos on Beach Road would be re-doing their pool areas in the future. Mr. Croft pointed out the plans presented tonight were not to scale; Vice Chair Okun requested when plans were copied and reduced they be marked "not to scalefl.
