Board members present were: Griffith, Fulling, Teare, Shay and Corr. Also present were Robert Harp, Secretary of the Board and A. W. Butterfield, Village Building Official. Chairman Griffith advised the purpose of the meeting was to review revised plans for a bath house for Tequesta Towers, Beach Road. Mr. Fulling said he wanted to make a motion to withhold action on any application for any other construction to Tequesta Towers because of existing litigation. It was explained that the builders original plans were to have the bath house facilities on the first floor of the building, but the Palm Beach County Health Department said such facilities would be too remote from the swimming pool area and a bath house nearer to the pool would have to be provided. The original pool proposal was made to the Building DepartmenV prior to March 1, 1973. Mr. Shay asked if the proposed new structure meets the new Zoning requirements and Mr. Butterfield. advised it did. Mr. Shay also asked about the roof line and Mr. DiVosta said it was quite similar to that of other pool houses on Beach Road buildings. Mr. DiVosta advised the Board that they have been using white roof shingles on other such pool houses. Corr moved, seconded by Teare that the plan for the bath house, as submitted, be approved by the Board, inasmuch as the plans for the swimming pool had been approved and a Building Permit issued for same prior to March 1, 1973 and plans were revised to include a bath house, as required by the Palm Beach County Health Department on March 1, 1973, The motion was passed unanimously and the Board members signed both copies of the plans for the construction. Mr. Fulling asked about the landscaping plan for the entire building and Mr. DiVosta showed some drawings and advised that the complete plans had not been finalized as yet by his landscape architect. Chairman Griffith mentioned Section 3 (b), page 3 of Ordinance No. 208, which requires detailed plans to be submitted - to the Board and he said he believed that the Board would only require plans with enough detail to cover and inform them on the only items the Board might be concerned with in their review. The Secretary said he would discuss the possible revision of this section with the Village Attorney. Mr. Shay submitted various documents from the Village of North Palm Beach Appearance Board together with his detailed review of the same and the Secretary will have copies made and distributed to each Board member, w . 57 -73 - 2 Chainiian Griffith said the Board would have to meet at a later date to consider the rules and regulations which they intend to adopt. The Board also discussed the requirement that all plans must have either a Registered Engineer or Registered Architect's seal and the Building Official advised that the building code only required such seals on buildings other than single family dwellings that exceed $5,000, in cost and this matter is to be reviewed by the Village Attorney. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 11:05 A.M. Respectfully submitted, Robert Harp Secretary
