Ms. Leffingwell repeated that the violations had been approximately
75% satisfied. She said she would continue to monitor the clean-up,
but was quite certain Mr. Sharp would continue to be cooperative and,
therefore, recommended the Board consider the Citation satisfied.

After being sworn in, both Ms. Leffingwell and Mr. Mendelson ad-
dressed the Board. Ms. Leffingwell again stated that neither Mr.
Mendelson nor his architect had been heard from since the last meeting
when the Board had. granted an extension i n order for Mr . Mendel son to
appear before the Planning and Community Appearance Boards.
Mr. Mendelson then explained that his architect had been out of the
country on another assignment; he also advised it had been determined
that the existing pilings were not sufficient to support the second
floor called for in the remodelling plans. He said it would most
likely take another week before it could be determined if changing the
trusses to move the load would solve this problem. Mr. Mendelson said
he hoped to be on the Planning Board agenda in April, but asked the
Board, if they would consider another extension, to make it a 2-month
period. Mr. Mendelson also told the members that during the recent
severe storm, the tiles stored on his roof did not move.
Concluding discussion, MR.RUBIN/MR. HAMERMAN moved to grant a 2-month
extension to Mr. Mendelson; MOTION received unanimous favorable roll
call vote.

Frank Stack, who identified himself as a limited partner in Royal Cove
Joint Venture at the February meeting, was a sworn in. He said
neither Tony Magri nor Richard Knowlton were available; however, he
advised monies had been allocated to clean up the site but because of
last weekend's severe storm the project had been backed up. Mr. Stack
said he hoped the work would be done by the end of this week (3/20).
Ms. Leffingwell suggested to Mr. Stack that he might want to contact
Boca Bank to see if they could work together in satisfying these
violations.
Concluding discussion, Chairman Hadeed noted that any vote today would
require four votes (quorum of full Board membership at this time, i.e.

six [6] members), but because of Mr. Hamerman's conflict, and the
absence of Messrs. Sarubbi and Bell, a vote could not be taken. He
therefore recommended, without objection, that these Citations be put
on the agenda for the April meetings.
There being no further business to come before the Board at this time,
the meeting was adjourned upon MOTION by MRS. GERBER/MR. HAMERMAN at
10:15 A.M.
