I. The Tequesta Public Works Committee held a regularly scheduled
meeting at the Village Hall at 357 Tequesta Drive, Tequesta,
Florida, on Thursday, May 25, 1993. The meeting was called
to order at 4:06 P.M. by Chairman Earl L. Collings. In
attendance were: Chairman Earl L. Collings; and Co-Chair Liz
Schauer. Village Staff present were: Village Manager, Thomas
G. Bradford; and Gary Preston, Director of Public Works and
Recreation. Also in attendance were: Richard Staudinger, Gee
& Jenson; and Murial Manning, Dorothy Campbell, Faye
Schrecengost and Cyrese Colbert, all of Gallery Square, North
Shopping Center.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
The Agenda was approved as submitted.
III. REVIEW OF THE PROPOSED GALLERY SQUARE NORTH RIGHT-OF-WAY
PROJECT AND COST ESTIMATES FOR SAME
Richard Staudinger explained the plan as submitted to the
Committee: He explained that improvements include narrowing
the road to two lanes, putting in curb and gutter, defining
and striping the right turn lane, putting in a sodded area to
collect water to be percolated into the ground, and doing
sidewalk additions. Some improvements are also proposed for
the Gallery Square North parking lot, the most important of
which is removing the two entrances and consolidating them
into a single entrance, lining up approximately with that of
Gallery Square South, with a curbed island, and adding ten
more parking spaces within the Gallery Square North shopping
center. This allows for a five-foot landscape strip which
will help the Square to meet some of the landscaping Code
requirements. The exit of the Village Hall complex is being
modified to a 45 foot radius for the curb and gutter which
will allow the future exiting of fire truck equipment without
any turning problems.

-------------------------------
A tabulated cost estimate for the improvements was submitted
to the Committee, showing cost responsibilities of the Village
($25,120) and that of the owners of the Square ($9,815).
Cyrese Colbert explained that the existing flagpoles in the
parking lot would stay, but be relocated. The flags are
representative of the ownership of the State of Florida.
The Village will do the sodding and irrigation work, similar
to that which was done at Gallery Square South. Landscaping
within the parking lot area will be done by the owners of the
shopping center. The Village has an interlocal agreement with
Palm Beach County regarding miscellaneous pavement and
concrete work through which the shopping center owners desire
to coordinate contracts with the Village involving: 1) paving;
2) concrete sidewalk and curbing; and 3) striping, with work
scheduled to start approximately the first week of July.
The Village Budget shows a cost estimate for this project of
$10,000. The tabulated cost for this project is shown at
$25,120, which includes the additional cost of $6,000 for a
5idewalk, plus other major changes (changed exit/entrance way)
which were not originally planned. Village Manager Bradford
reported that funds are available for this project.
Mailboxes for U.S. mail which presently exist at the shopping
center will have to be relocated, but the move must first meet
the approval of the Post Office for relocation.. The area
where they presently exist will have installed a sidewalk,
sodding, irrigation and a lamppost.
Cyrese Colbert stated that it is planned to re-seal and re-
stripe the parking lot during the proposed renovations. She
stated further that problems with runoff exist along Seabrook
Road at the property line, as well at the location where Good
Shepherd Church property abuts the property of the shopping
center. Ms. Colbert stated that the shopping center property
owners prefer to have some kind of agreement regarding the
parking lot which is now owned by the Village. Village Manager
Bradford stated he would be able to explain a plan to the
concerned parties on how they could gain ownership of the
parking lot. The Committee directed the Village Manager and
the shopping center property owners to confer regarding this
issue.

-------------------------------
Co-Chair Schauer moved to recommend to the Village Council
that the plans be approved as submitted. Chairman Collings
seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was:
Earl L. Collings - for
Liz Schauer - for
the motion was therefore approved and adopted.
IV. ANY OTHER MATTERS
Co-Chair Schauer stated that a Tequesta citizen, Mrs.
Cockerham, of 65 Camellia Circle, had requested that three or
more feet be added to the roadway on Tequesta Drive to allow
more space for bicycle riding. Village Manager Bradford
answered that would probably not be possible since the expense
of doing so would be exorbitant in order to add a sub-base and
asphalt, and that such a change could impact the drainage
system.
V. ADJOURNMENT
There being no other matters before the Committee, the meeting
was adjourned at 4:55 P.M.
