MINUTES
Upon MOTION by MR. LITTLEJOHN/VICE CHAIR BEHRMAN, the Minutes of
the July 28 Regular Meeting were unanimously approved.
NEW BUSINESS
Review Plans for Additional Tennis Court and one (1) Additional
Gazebo at 2912 , 2914 & 2916 S. Ocean Blvd. , Lot 109W. Submitted by
Kenneth A. Treadwell for Trafalgar Condominium Association (Owner) .
Mr . Treadwell represented the project , explaining that his client
was unit owner Leonard Schwartz . He advised Mr. Schwartz was not
interested in adding an additional tennis court and gazebo, but
rather modifying the existing court, which he noted was actually a
seldom used paddle ball court located on the west lot (Townhouses)
of the Trafalgar property, into a regulation size tennis court and
relocating the existing gazebo.
Discussion and plan review followed, during which time it was noted
that although Town Code calls for a 6 ' maximum height re fences,
walls and hedges - and the proposed plans did show a 6 ' fence
height - tennis courts were usually built with a surrounding 10'
high fence to keep mis-hit balls within the confines of the court
itself , as well as for the protection of people/traffic in the
immediate area of the court . Of particular import to the members
was the fact that, because of the confines of property space, the
proposed court would be necessarily built in a east/west direction
and, therefore, the east side of the court would be parallel to
State Road AlA, the main thoroughfare of the Town, as well as
parallel to the Town' s much used bike path.

Mr. Treadwell then initialled the plans to reflect the 10' high
fence on the east side. At this time, he also gave the Recording

gave Mr. Schwartz the authority to pursue this matter with the
Town. (Note : Letter was subsequently transmitted to the Building
Department . )
OLD BUSINESS
Le Sanctuaire, 3425 S. Ocean Blvd. , Lot 90E
The Chair read into the record a Memorandum to File, which detailed
the findings of Messrs . Heetmann and Littlejohn on their re-
inspection of the landscaping on this property as per the
conditions set forth in the recommendation for a Certificate of
Occupancy dated January 27, 1994 . Following brief discussion, and
upon MOTION by MR. HEETMANN/MRS. COLARULLO, it was agreed that the
Building Official be asked to contact the developer and request
replacement of landscaping as noted in the memorandum. (A copy of
the memorandum, recommendation for a Certificate of Occupancy and
Highland Park Associates letter dated January 29, 1994 are attached
hereto and made part of these Minutes. )
GREENING COMMITTEE
Mr. Behrman advised that because the purchase price of trees had
increased dramatically since Hurricane Andrew, the members might
want to consider increasing the $300 donation for any new
plantings . He noted that the current price of a 12' tree is
approximately $225, which does not include cartage, planting, etc.
The members agreed to discuss this matter further in the near
future .
