Claudia Gray, representing the applicant, explained that their request was to replace the sand oak hedge material on the south and east sides of the building with one of the following choices: Silver buttonwood, cocoplum, wax jasmine, or natal plum. A letter of approval for any one of these substitutions had been received from the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, stating that they did not believe planting these species would have any adverse effects to the scrub jays. Ms. Gray expressed a preference to the silver buttonwood. Boardmember Dalack inquired why the whole hedge must be replaced, to which Ms. Gray responded that a large majority of it had died. vice Chair Strahan recalled that the sand pine hedge had been a requirement originally from the Fish and wildlife Service, and that the Community Appearance Board had told the applicant at the time that sand pine hedge material would not survive. In response to Boardmember Dalack~s concern that the whole hedge was being replaced, Ms. Gray explained that there were only one or two small sections still alive, which were not enough to save.

Mr. Hansen explained that the dining room extension would be built on pilings so that the existing pond would not be affected. The expansion would also provide space for a conference room. Mr. Hansen described the interior renovations for the dining and administration areas, and the exterior changes. A raised ceiling would be used in the dining area.
