The meeting was called to order by Chairwoman Leslie Cook at 9:36 A.M. Community Appearance Board members present were: Paul Coben, Ruth Maitland, Vic Strahan and Stephen Parker, sitting in as a Regular member, and Scott D. Ladd, Clerk of the Board. II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Boardmember Coben proposed a change in the Agenda to move Approval of Previous Minutes after Unfinished Business. III. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business. IV. UNFINISHED BUSINESS � . 1) Village of Tequesta for Landscaping for the Constitution Park Project (397 Seabrook Road), including, landscaping for the Jupiter-Tequesta Junior Citizens parking lot "(399 Seabrook Road): revised plans. Joann Manganiello, Administrative Assistant/Village Clerk, was present on behalf of the Village and will be in charge of the project. She introduced Brett Nein, the Project Manager for Gee &,7enson, who she will be working with. Ms. Manganiello pointed out the contents of the letter from JTJC wherein permission for an additional variance to eliminate two more parking spaces was denied to the Village. Mr. Nein then explained to the Board that he changed the set-backs on the north and south side, that being, the distance from the edge of the asphalt to the property line was 10 feet and is 7 1/2 feet now, giving another 5 feet. The island in the center will now be bigger (12 feet). Mr. Nein explained that he moved the handicapped parking space from the northwest corner n,•, , .r n . . Community Appearance Board Page 2 -------------------------- of the parking lot to the southwest corner near the entrance of Constitution Park adjacent to the special pavers. Mr. Nein asked Mr. Ladd about the handicapped space being painted blue, to which Mr. Ladd responded that it was a state and county requirement. Mr. Nein informed the Board he was going to put in interlocking pavers in the entryway sidewalk to the park, saying he would do a 4 x 4 cut-out in the middle and put the first palm in the center. The palms (20-25 feet in height) will be taller than the canapy trees. Mr. Nein showed the Board where the dumpster will be, that hedges will surround the fence, and that the dumpster will sit on concrete. Mr. Ladd asked about the lighting fixtures, and Mr. Nein responded he did not have anything for the Board to look at, but that they were a standard spun metal pole, square shoe box, 30'. Mr. Ladd emphasized that he wanted the Board to address this issue as it is within their purview to do so. Mr. Parker suggested lighting the palms in the entryway. He also suggested putting in a ground covering such as liriope around the single queen palm in the paver bed. Chairwoman Coc►k asked about the entryway sign, and Mr. Nein said it has not been designed yet, but will go near the gate. Boardmember Coben moved to approve the application, subject to changes. Mr. Parker then recommended specifying minimum 12 inch caliper for the queen palms. Mr. Nein pointed out to Boardmember Coben that the plan shows roughly the installed size of the palms. Boardmember Coben moved to accept the application as revised and submitted. Boardmember Maitland seconded the motion. Mr. Parker felt it was a shame that the two parking spaces could not be eliminated. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook - for Ruth Maitland - for Vic Strahan - for Paul Coben - for Steve Parker - for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. 2) Signcraft far Village Square Shopping Center, 219-289 U.S. One South: review of the revised siqn planter base and landscapinq for two free-standing siqns per CAB request at 1-12-94 mesting. Community Appearance Board Page 3 Mr. Ernest Toth, Signcraft, Inc., showed the Board a picture of the sign with changes showing the widening of the flower bed so as to have more foliage with the varieties the Board recommended. He feels this complies with the landscaping associated with signage. Chairwoman Cook asked about the robellini palms, and Boardmember Strahan said they were chosen because they were already there and had lived through drought previously. Mr. Parker stated that the lack of irrigation could be a problem for the robellini's. Boardmember Coben pointed out that the landscaper will need to water and take care of them. Some discussion took place about DOT's plans on U.S. One. Mr. Parker suggested adding four more liriope for a total of nine. Mr. Toth pointed out his concern a.bout the plants due to the requirement of having an asphalt footer underground for the sign. It was agreed by the Board to use seven gallon robellini's and potting soil. Mr. Ladd summarized for the Board what plants will be used; two robellini palms, minimum seven gallon size; four indian hawthorne, three gallon; nine miscellaneous liriope, one gallon, (all liriope to be the evergreen giant variety). Boardmember Strahan moved to approve the application subject to the modifications that were recorded and indicated on the plans. Boardmember Coben seconded the motion. The vote on the motion was: Leslie Cook — for Ruth Maitland — for Vic Strahan — for Paul Coben — for Steve Parker — for the motion was therefore passed and adopted. � Some discussion then took place about the Sunshine Law, the Board of Adjustment meeting concerning the Beach Road project and lack of inedia coverage, and Country Club Drive. V. COI�iUNICATION FROM CITIZENS Boardmember Coben asked to let the record show that Wade Griest left the meeting. VI. APPROVAL OF PREVIOUS MINUTES Some discussion then took place about the size of the minutes; Mr. Coben feels they are too lengthy, Chairwoman Cook likes them. Mr. Ladd again reminded the Board that at one time the • � Community Appearance Board Page 4 -------------------------- minutes were verbatim and everyone hated them, then they were very simple and everyone hated those, and now the format that is being used is in between, and also, adding time for visitors adds to the length of the minutes. Boardmember Coben stated the corrections and changes on the January 12 minutes he wanted made which were noted by Mr. Ladd. Boardmember Coben moved to approve the January 12 minutes as corrected. Boardmember Coben then stated the corrections and changes to be made on the January 19 minutes, again these were noted by Mr. Ladd. Boardmember Coben moved to approve the January 19 minutes as corrected. VII. ANY OTHER MATTERS Chairwoman Cook said she hoped that once the JTJC area was fixed up, the 7-11 store would improve their site. Boardmember Maitland asked if their earlier motion to have the Village formally congratulate Gallery Square North on their improvements was ever followed through. Chairwoman Cook will write a formal letter on this. VIII. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 10:46 A.M.
