UNFINISHED BUSZNE88 1) Tequesta Drive Tree Plantinq Project (Tree Board Member, 8teve Parker): Gary Preston pointed out to the 8oard that on December 14, 1989 Council approved a tree planting plan. The Board felt that plantinq plans of the Tree Board of 1993 should pre-empt any decisions of 1989. It was originally estimated that the project would be done in three phases: o Phase I: Fiesta to Seabrook: move Royal Palms, and new plantings; o Phase ZI: Seabrook to Tequesta Bridge; new plantings; o Phase III: Tequesta Bridge to Country Club entrance, new plantings. In the past, $15,000-$20,000 has been budgeted for Royal Palms. Because of proposed construction, it was determined that plantings could not take place from Fiesta to Gallery Square, North, until approximately April 1994. Steve Parker submitted a tree planting plan to the Board for the review, pointing areas where existing Royal Palms are located, stating that he attempted to mix in Live Oaks, as previously recommended. Five Royal Palms in front of Blair House may need to be relocated (moved forward} to allow for sidewalk space. Boardmember Coben felt it would be more cost- effective to move a sidewalk, rather than moving Royal Palms, since Royal Palms are so costly to replace should one not survive the move. Scott Ladd explained that sidewalks have a tendency to be under water, because of the swale, if they are not properly placed. However, Royal Palms located near the swale do fine because they qet the water. Because of the large canopy which Queen Palms provide, they were sketched to be located in front of commercial areas where they would not be blockinq signs, etc. Tre. Board ot ths Villaqe o!
