Boardmember Maitland called the Board•s attention to an
article in the paper pertaiainq to Juno Beach lininq Ocean
Drive with palm trees, and that they had received money from
the Department of Transportation. Mr. Preston said the
Village has put ebout $55,000 into the II.S. One project. When
the DOT does the work, they would be payi.nq for all of that.
The Village should receive a large amount of money to do the
.irrigation, treee, sod, etc.
Mr. Preston said the Village replaced the one dead royal palm
on Tequesta Drive near Venus Avenue. He said the irrigation
project is scheduled to beqin oa Monday, April il from Fiesta
to Venus. The trees are comi.nq in on Tuesday, and should be
planted bp Thuredap. These include ten live oaks, three
bottle brush and six queen palms.
Boardmember Strahan asked about residents' reactions to work
beinq done, and Mr. Preston said everyone was pleased to
receive the aew landscaping. Boardntember then asked about the
� objection to the sidewalk across the front of the Village
Green Park. Mr. Preston admitted there was some opposition
from the president of the Garden Club and Carlton Stoddard.
He said Mr. Stoddard was agreeable to an asphalt pathway with
red bricks on the side. Mr. Preston said that at the next
Finance and Administration Committee Meeting, all the bond
items includinq the sidewalks would be considered.
Boardmember Cobea asked about the sidewa].k again. Mr. Preston
said that hie concern was that if a aidewalk is installed on
Tequesta Drive, it can�t just end at the park, forci.ng people .
to go into the street. He said that patting the sidewalk.in
. would iavolve. eo� adjustmente such ae the ficus tree at Hlair
House, and a lift station. �ir. Prestoa said a concrete
sidewalk will last a-lifetime ae opposed to asphalt, which
lasts 15-18 ye8rs:
