VI. UNFINISHED BIISINESS There was no unfinished business. 1TII. ANY OTHER MATT$RS Chair Leslie Cook brought up the following four items: (1) Chair Cook received the Board s support to contact the Village Manager to investigate the possibility of protecting the large banyan trees at the entrance to Bay Harbor and on the Country Club golf course by declaring those areas historical sites. Chair Cook reported that the City of Palm Beach Gardens had recently taken this action to protect a large banyan tree in the MacArthur Boulevard median, and recommended that the Village Manager contact that city to learn what was involved to determine whether Tequesta would like to do this also. (2) Chair Cook commented that at one time the Community Appearance Board had reviewed a landscape plan for the corner of A1A and 01d Dixie Highway, but nothing was ever done. .Chair Cook stated the plan COMMUNITY APPl3ARANCE BOARD MEETING MINUTES May 19, 1999 Page 5 had not been a good plan and she would not want to see it implemented. The possibility of placing more landscaping in the medians on U.S. One and why other municipalities such as Jupiter and Stuart had more landscaping than Tequesta was discussed. It was pointed out that Jupiter had spent a lot of additional money above that provided by FDOT. Planner Kara Irwin announced a design charrette for the U.S. One corridor to begin June 5, and invited the members of the Board to attend and present their ideas for U.S. One, including landscaping for the medians. 3, Chair Cook commented that the lirope in the landscape island on Country Club Drive near the village boundary had died and had been replaced with king ferns, which were too large. Boardmember Parker stated he would check the ferns to see if the wrong type had been installed, and explained that Ordinance 377 required 60$ native plants which was why he could not replace the lirope. Mr. Parker expressed his opinion that the 60~ requirement was too high for that island and should be 40~. Chair Cook agreed. 4. Chair Cook asked the Board to think about coming up with an ordinance to require ENCON to landscape around their lift stations. Boardmember Parker reported he had included landscape screening for the lift station on Country Club Drive in the Streetscape plan, but had been requested by the Village Manager to remove it because it would set a precedent and ENCON should be landscaping their structures. Boardmember walker reported she had heard many compliments on the Country Club Drive streetscape. COb~DNITY APP$ARANCI3 BOARD b1ggTIN(~3 ffiINO'PES DSay 19, 1999 Page 6 Boardmember Walker expressed the hope that in accordance with the idea that the Village Council should have members from different neighborhoods, that the Community Appearance Board would also try to have representatives from areas other than the Country Club. The matter was discussed and four members of the Board were found to live in the Country Club and three in other areas. Other members of the Board expressed their opinion that this was not relevant to the Community Appearance Board, since they did not deal with residential properties. Boardmember Coben expressed his agreement with Councilmember Capretta that anyone who wanted to serve on a Village Board or on the Village Council should attend Village meetings in advance. wade Griest commented that this was not relevant to the Community Appearance Board, and stated people did not attend meetings until something was to be done that affected them, and only 7-8 people regularly showed up at Village Council meetings and most of those were anti-village government. Mr. Griest reported there was discussion about breaking the Village into districts and having a representative from each district on the Village Council, which he believed to be a good idea. VIII.
