An application from Giuseppe Loduca, owner of the property located at 91 River Drive, Lot 27, Tequesta Subdivision, requesting a variance to the terms of the official Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Tequesta, Ordinance No. 355, as amended, Section X, Supplemental Regulations, applying to a specific, to several or to all Districts, Subsection (A) General Provisions, (8) Floor elevation above sea ievel; to allow the completion of a permitted 516 s.f. addition with the finish floor elevation at 8.82' (feet) above mean sea level (MSL) and 16.56" (inches) above the crown of road to match the egisting house floor elevation, in lieu of minimum finish first floor elevation above mean seal level (MSL) for all new construction, additions, and substantial improvements to ezisting structures being 8.5' MSL or 18" above the crown of the road, cul-de-sac or highway or meet the requirements of Section XV, Flood Hazard Areas, whichever is more stringent, as required by the Zoning Ordinance.

Testimony of Witnesses and Cross Egamination, if any Jim Walters, Carrer� General Contractors, spoke on behalf of the Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes June 17, 2002 Page 3 ................................... applicant. Mr. Walters answered the six required criteria as follows: 1. We believe that the special conditions or circumstances that e�st are as a result of the new road surface and that the existing house was built to conform to the requirements as they were in 1968. 2. These special conditions do �ot result from any actions of the applicant. 3. Granting the varianCe will not confer any special pri,vil�ge other than allowing the new floor to be flush with the existing flooring. 4. Literal interpretation of the provision would require that a 3" step be required between the existing residence and the added space. 5. The variance would only be as required to match the existing floor elevation. 6. We believe that the intent of the ordinance is to set a minimum elevation as it relates to flooding. 82% of the total space is existing at the lower elevations. The residence is located on the North Branch of the Loxahatchee River, The mean high water elevation of the river is 1.9' or 5.54' Iower than the crown of the road and 6.92' lower than the existing fuush floor and any rain or water runoff would first run into the river. Chair Humpage commented that he believed the hardship was generated from the change in the ordinance. Chair Humpage clarif ed that finish floor was normally the finish slab and the existing elevation of existing marble shall become the minimum elevation. The applicant was cautioned to be sure the marble remained so the variance would continue to be 1-1 /2". Mr. Walters explained that the current fmish elevation of the marble was 8.8" and granting the variance would cause it to remain at 8.8". Chair Humpage suggested a motion be for minimum variance, the same elevation as the existing finish floor of 8.8", stating that the six criteria had been met, and requiring the applicant to sign a hold harmless agreement with the Village with reference to this elevation. Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes June 17, 2002 Page 4 ................................... Motion• Boardmember Pullon made a motion to approve the variance request from Giuseppe Loduca for the property located at 91 River Drive, Teq�esta, since all six criteria had been met, with the slab for the addition poured at the egact same height as the ezisting slab of the house, and provided the applicant will sign a hold harmless agreement with the Village for any flood damage. Boardmember Brienza seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 4-0 vote. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 1. An application from Mr. and Mrs. Philip Cary, owners of the property located 129 Point Circle, Lot 35.2, Tequesta Subdivision, requesting a variance to the terms of the Official Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the Village of Tequesta, Ordinance No. 355, as amended, Section VII, Schedule of Regulations and Application of Regulations, Subsection C, Schedule of Site Requirements, R-1-A District, Front Yard Setback to allow for tbe construction of a single family residence, a portion of wLich will be located forward of tbe Building Line which establisbes the required lot width of 100' (feet) and as defined in Section IV. Definitions, (47) Building Line. A line on a lot, general, but not necessarily, parallel to a lot line or road right-of-way line, located a sufficient distance therefrom to provide the minimum yards required by the zoning code. The building line delimits the area in which buildings are permitted subject to all applicable provisions of the zoning code. A.

Each Boardmember reported they had previously visited the property and spoke to no one. C. Testimony of Witnesses and Cross Ezamination, if any Bruce Neandros, the home builder, was present on behalf of the applicant, and stated that Mx. and Mrs. Cary and their attorney would not be present tonight. Mr. Neadros explained that at the last meeting the 100' line had been discussed; however, that did not work because the property cut a eorner and the applicant had done the best they could by reducing the size of the house and encroaching only on the corner of the garage. Chair Humpage commented he had scaled off a copy of the plan from the Building Department and found the minimum variance would be 8'. Chair Humpage commented he had no problem with this and appreciated the applicants working with the Board and that everyone had done a good job of contributing. The Village Attorney advised a motion must indicate this met the requirements of the ordinance and since the applicants had asked for a larger variance, the variance must be specified. Mr. Newell testified that the redesigned garage had been moved to the northwest, where the encroachment was reduced considerably and was now approximately 8' as indicated on the plans submitted, which will be a part of the record. Mr. Newell verified that there was an 8' encroachment beyond the 100' qualifying line. The Village Attorney advised tha� under finding of fact the motion would need to state that the applicant had complied, the variance would be a minimum variance, and the variance would be a 8' from the original 100' front building line as indicated on the plans submitted which will become part of the record. Motion: Boardmember Pullon made a motion to approve the variance application fram Dr. and Mrs. Cary for the property located Board of Adjustment Meeting Minutes June 17, 2002 Page 6 ................................... at 129 Point Circle, Tequesta, based on the fact the applicants had worked hard to make it a minimum variance in that the entire structure and the 3-car garage will encroach no more than 8' beyond the 100' arc line as shown on the plan submitted which will become part of the permanent record; and that otherwise the requirements of the code had been met. Vice Chair Owens seeonded the motion. The Village Attorney clarified Mr. Pullon's statement that tbe entire structure and the garage will encroach no more than 8' that actually none of the structure other than the garage encroached more than 8'. Mr. Neandros reported it was part of the requirements from the last meeting that the bouse stay behind the line; therefore only the garage would encroach, which was accepted by the maker of the motion. The vote oa the motion was: Jim Humpage For David Owens For Steve Pullon For Paul Brienza For The motion therefore carried 6y unanimous 4-0 vote. VI. COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITIZENS There were no communications from Citizens. VII. ANY OTHER MATTERS There were no other matters to come before the Board. ,, �p ,°F 'f �� VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA � M ' DEPARTiV�NT OF COMMCJNTIY DEVELOPMENT � � � �' Post Office Box 3273 ' ;;'� ; 250 Tequesta Drive • Suite 305 <@ _ ` �� Tequesta, Florida 33469-0273 : F � � co s'` (561) 575-6220 • F�: (561) 575-6224 VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING NIINUTES August 14, 2002 I.

The Board discussed the location of the new development and the Rood landscape business. It was noted that 53 homes would be built. Retention areas were pointed out on the plans. It was explained that the county was involved in the drainage system and was making improvements because of flooding, so on the strip of land beside the entry there might be only grass. Boardmember Sterling commented that adding more paving around the sales trailer would cause water to flow out into the flood area. Mr. Newell pointed out on the plans a second retention area and explained how the plan would divert water flow from the road. Mr. Newell explained that the sales trailer was temporary and would be removed after a dry model could COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES August 14, 2002 Page 3 .......................... be constructed.

An application from Gary Preston, Village of Tequesta, for review of three concepts for proposed Village kiosks (presentation by Roy-Fisher Associates) 1. Swearing-In of Witnesses, if Required Those present to speak were sworn in by Clerk of the Board Jeff Newell. 2. Disclosure of Ex-Parte Communications: The members of the Board reported no ex-parte communications. 3. Testimony of Witnesses and Cross Examination, if any Gary Preston explained that several years agp the Village had started a beautification program for the main roads in the Village, which would be completed within the next few weeks on Country Club Drive and Main Street. The kiosks would enhance those beautification projects on the major roadways and within develapments if desired by the homeowners. The intent was to add 2 to 3 each year througliout the Village. Present on behalf of Roy-Fisher Associates were Brice Whittenborn and Connie Roy- Fisher. Mr. Whittenborn provided an overview of three concepts and reported he and Ms. Roy-Fisher had met with Mr. Preston and Mayor Genco to discuss the concepts and materials. The goal was to achieve landmarks with materials related to the project on Main Street and the new public safety building regarding colors, etc. Concept #1 was described by Mr. Whittenborn as a minimal bench landmark designed to go under a large tree which included a column of stucco in a color to be agreed upon. The town identifier medallion concept was possibly to match the medallions in the public safety building, which were green. Plastic lumber was proposed to be used, with a stone veneer along the bottom of the bench seat. The bench seat was long enough to accommodate three people. Concept #2 was the trellis landmark, consisting of a trellis made of plastic lumber with vines growing on it to provide overhead structure with a lightweight feeling. Stucco columns, muted colors, and a bluestone identifier were proposed. This concept had an 8' long bench and was basically taking the bench landmark concept and adding four columns plus overhead structure. This concept could be built to straddle a sidewalk, with the trellis over the entire structure. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES August 14, 2002 Page 5 .......................... The next concept shown was doubling the size of the trellis concept. The same colors were proposed for all the kiosks rather than colors to match the surroundings of different locations. Mr. Preston proposed the first kiosks be located on Seabrook Road, on Tequesta Drive at Point Drive, and by the south gate of the Country Club. Mr. Preston suggested one of each design and inviting homeowners associations to go to each location to view them to see if they wotzld like one of these designs. Another suggested location was at the Village Green. The kiosks would be erected by the Village at Village expense. Today's presentation was verified to be conceptual and the real plans would be presented to the Community Appearance Board for review. Concept #3 was the park landmark which was a 14' x 14' square and contained game tables, making it possible to interact with more than one person. Mr. Whittenborn explained that this was meant to be a comfortable space and would utilize the same colors and keys as the other designs. Mr. Whittenborn showed rnaterials samples. Ms. Roy-Fisher noted that kiosks were used in West Palm Beach along Flagler, on Quadrille, and in Northwood. Plastic lumber samples were shown in soft green and khaki. The Village identifier plaque samples were from Pineapple Grove, a company that made plaques. The medallion design on the public safety building was described as rosettes. Something that would closer identify the Village, such as the Tequesta Indian logo, was suggested for these kiosks. Chair Strahan noted that Councilmember von Frank was prc�posing the sale of fire marks with the Tequesta. Indian design as a fundraiser for a fire and police memorial. The history of fire marks was discussed. Mr. Whittenborn presented a sample of the blue stone proposed to be used for bench fronts. The Boardmembers expressed their feelings that the blue stone did not blend in and would compete with the other colors. Consensus was that painted stucco was preferred over a stone veneer bench front. Boardmember Sterling advised that he lived in Tequesta. Pines and their Board had submitted the idea of a kiosk on the corner, but the homeowners had objected strenuously because it would be a place for . kids to gather. Mr. Preston indicated that no public opinion had yet been sought. Chair Strahan commented this could be an idea everyone thought was good but they might not want it near them. The Board was advised that they were being asked to approve the concept and then when a site was actually selected they would review those plans. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES August 14, 2002 Page 6 .......................... Vice Chair Parker requested photos of the kiosks in other areas mentioned to see what was working and not working. Ms. Roy-Fisher commented that the kiosks along Flagler Drive had been there eight years and had poured concrete columns, wood trellises, and a Pineapple Grove medallion; that the ones on Quadrille ha.d barrel tile roofs and had been there 4-5 years; and the ones in Northwood had been there 3-4 years and were similar to those on Quadrille, which were used for bus stops. West Palm Beach ha.d wanted neighborhoods identified within the City, which could also be done in Tequesta, and this would provide personality or character to the Village, giving it more of a community feeling. Chair Strahan commented if a kiosk was to be used as a bus stop, it might be a good idea to have a roof. Ms. Roy-Fisher commented it had been the consensus in their meeting with the Mayor not to get into the expense of a roof or lighting. Mr. Newell asked if this would attract pigeons and if this idea had been generated from the possibility of a Tri Rail sta.tion in Tequesta. Mr. Preston indicated that had never been discussed. Chair Strahan indicated he would rather have Palm Tran return to Tequesta. Vice Chair Parker commented he agreed the blue stone did not fit and he wanted something more indigenous. Mr. Parker indicated he preferred a stucco base for the bench instead of stone veneer. Vice Chair Parker suggested eliminating the stone veneer and the proposed flagstones and going to cast stone in cora.l for a lighter look. Vice Chair Parker suggested changing the flagstones to concrete pavers or cast stone. Mr. Parker commented the concepts were nice proportionally, but cautioned that the design must have some kind of really strong feature using the Village logo to identify with Tequesta. Boardmember Sterling suggested having the same concrete pavers cross the sidewalk when a kiosk incorporated a sidewalk, to add unity. Chair Strahan cautioned not using too rough a surface because of people in wheelchairs, skateboards, etc. Mr. Sterling suggested a simulated limestone surface in larger sections could be used. Mr. Whittenborn suggested using concrete but in a different finish. Mr. Sterling agreed that would be cheaper. Mr. Parker commented it needed to be something different than plain concrete where flagstones were shovcm on the concepts, and sta.ted he was not comfortable with the flagstones. Suggestions were not to use flagstones at all but to do the surface distinctive to the azea, that cast stone or concrete pavers could be used or a concrete surface to the whole thing with a design that would not cause problems. Vice Chair Parker commented that Juno Beach required flat pavers set in their sidewalks and he did not know of any problems, and commen#ed he would not let that hold back a design. Ms. Roy-Fisher COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETIlVG MINUTES August 14, 2002 Page 7 ... . ..................... . commented that stone had been proposed for a sense of permanence and to pick up the stone veneer used on the public safety building, and that using stone on the base of the benches would not show wear so much, but that cast stone could be a possibility. Mr. Preston indicated that residents near proposed locations would have to be notified before sites were selected, and there was no specific site targeted as yet. Mr. Preston noted it would be difficult to put a kiosk into some locations, that there could be objections, and that the Village's intent was not to place these where they were not wanted. It was suggested that a simple design be built in some location on Seabrook so that residents could see what these would be like. It was noted that the Village had changed the gradient on sidewalks along Seabrook Road to help a resident who used a motorized wheelchair, and now should not do something to hurt that resident. Cha.ir Strahan commented that overall, the Board liked the concept. Vice Chair Parker explained the consensus was that the blue stone was foreign and suggested imita.tion cast stone that looked like coral, which Mr. Parker and Mr. Sterling both indicated they really liked. Photographs of other kiosks were requested to be brought to the Board. The Board asked to be sure there was a Tequesta tie-in on the medallions and indicated it was okay to change colors for different locations, but have something to unify them. Alternatives to stone veneer were proposed by Vice Chair Parker to be either stucco painted or cast stone. Different types of vines that might be appropriate for the trellises were discussed. It was noted that some might attraCt birds or aggravate people's allergies. Ms. Fisher recommended pandora vine since it had no pest problems or thorns and se�med to be a good all around choice. 4. Finding of Fact Based Upon Competent Substantial Evidence MOTION Vice Chair Parker made a motion to approve the concepts presented for proposed Village kiosks for the benches and trellises, with the following comments: Stone veneer on base of �enches shall be either painted stucco, cast stone, or indigenous stone alternative. Surface to be walked on shall be indigenous stone alternative, concrete pavers, cast stone, or concrete colored and tegtured differently. The blue stone shown on the trellises shall be changed to one of the alternates of indigenous stone alternative, cast stone, or stucco painted. The identifier medallion shall be of a design that really identifies tLe COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MIlVUTES August 14, 2002 Page 8 .......................... Village of Tequesta. Colors shall change with soft variations to tie in with the individual neighborhood locations. It was noted tLat the Board liked the soft green color of the plastic lumber sample as presented. Boardmember Sterling seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 3-0 vote. Chair Strahan inquired regarding the cost. Mr. Preston responded that Concept #1 would cost approximately $8,000-$10,000; the trellis concept ' approximately $20,000, and the double txellis and the park landmark would cost from $35,000-$45,000. Constitution Park was suggested as a good site for the first kiosk. It was noted that Concepts 1 and 2 would be much more visible at Village Green. Mr. Preston explained that the kiosks would be located in areas patrolled by the police. It was suggested they be concrete because of vandalism problems. VI. ITNFINISHED BUSINESS Vice Chair Parker advised that the fronds for the newly planted palms in the circle on Main Street could be cut loose at any time. Mr. Newell commented he did not know what plant materials had been approved for the landscape islands. Discussion ensued regarding the Board's discussion of the Town/Village Center concept at the meeting where the Board had approved the concept for the building that had been built, for the landscaping of that building, for the parking lot for the proposed Village Hall, for the landscaping for Main Street, and signage for the building that had been built. So much time had been spent on the political aspects and arguments at that meeting that the landscaping had slipped through without much discussion. Chair Strahan requested that the Bridge Road and Main Street landscaping be checked to see if it had been approved by the Community Appearance Board, how much had been reviewed by the Board, and how much just slipped through. Boardmember Sterling commented that landscaping at the corner of Pinehill Trail East a whole plan for re-doing the right-of-way had been submitted to Village Council, but it had never come before the Community Appearance Board. Mr. Newell advised that when final plans were completed it would be presented to the Board. Chair Strahan commented the right-of-way had been reduced and there were new signs. The Village Council had approved the changes to the right-of-way. Boardmember Sterling noted the entire budget of their Homeowners Association was for maintenance of the right-of-way. Vice Chair Parker stated the Village needed to infill more oaks on Tequesta Drive where there were gaps, to make it consistent with the �ther streets. Mr. Preston advised that some residents had objected originally to having trees in their yazds, but things may have COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES August 14, 2002 Page 9 ..................,........ changed. Mr. Parker indicated he would bring a list of locations that needed trees to the next meeting. Mr. Newell asked if the Board should review lift staxions, since he had found one that had come before the Board and two others tha� ha.d not. Discussion ensued, and lift stations were located on the zoning map. Mr. Newell indicated he had researched the code and found that lift sta.tions required special exception and review by CAB, and advised that he would bring the one for pover Circle before the Board, and from now on lift stations would be presented to the Board. Chair Strahan commented the other highly visible lift sta.tion was inside the Centex Homes developrnent and the landscaping was taken care of by Centex. Chair Strahan noted he was really sorry the Board had not insisted on different colors. Boardmember Sterling indicated he had heard complaints that the development looked like a barracks. Vice Chair Parker commented the process was backwards and projects should come before CAB first and then go on to the Village Council. Chair Strahan commented the Board should have objected more strongly on the colors, and he had asked them to do their new project, Tequesta Cay, different from the one on Tequest�. Drive and they had said they wanted the colors the same to tie the developments together, which was fine from their point of view, but he felt they should have had a variety of 3-4 colors and alternated them within their development the way DiVosta had done in Tequesta. Oaks. Boardmember Sterling reported the planting along the wa11 was going to be a maintenance nightmare because it would get too much heat from the sidewalk and the wall and it would be hard to keep it alive. VII. ANY OTHER MATTERS There were no other matters to come before the Board. VIII. ADJOURNMENT Upon motion by Vice Chair Parker, seconded by $oardmember Sterling and unanimously carried 3-0, the meeting was adjourned at 10:13 a.m. Respectfully submitted, �� Betty Laur Recording Secretary ATTEST: CON�IUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES August 14, 2002 Page 10 ........ ..........� k �C ewell rk of th Board DATE AP ROVED: G l' 2� � e'�._— " ��. �� ' ,��-=�� c:��
