Ms . Ellis described the project to the members, saying the plans called
for a one-room addition over her kitchen to be used as an artist ' s
studio ; a small powder room facility was also included . She noted no
landscaping would be involved . The Building Official added that
perhaps some landscape damage might be incurred in the course of
construction and if that happened it would have to be replaced before a

quirements, a final approval could be given today if the members were
so inclined .
Mr . Arenella , noting that he and Mr . Littlejohn had physically
inspected the site, expressed concern about replacement of landscaping
should damage occur during construction; it was again noted that no
C.0 would be issued if the completion of the project did not meet the
Board ' s criteria.
After some further discussion and review, Mr . Arenella/Mr . Littlejohn
made the following MOTION:

Final Review for Alteration to Existing Landscaping at 4307 S . Ocean
Blvd . , Lot 29E. Submitted by Bernard Turner for Coco-de-Mer Condominium
Association.
Bernard Turner and Dianne Hallberg , resident and Secretary/Treasurer of
Coco de Mer Condominium Association , represented the project . Included
in remarks made by Mr . Turner were the removal of certain trees and
addition of others , removal of sod except in swale area , and the lower-
ing of the swale by a foot to facilitate better drainage . He added
that the plans met Xeriscape requirements .
Members convened to the table for plan review, where Mr . Turner also
presented a color-coded presentation of the project . After review,
lengthy discussion took place because two of the trees to be moved were
town-owned (norohonia and calophyllum) . It was finally determined that
the members would advise where the trees were to be transplanted , with
Coco de Mer being responsible for their survival for one (1) year .
It was the CONSENSUS of the members to transplant the norohonia across
the street from subject property, where a town-owned tree had died .
Mrs. Gordon offered to work with Mrs. Hallberg regarding transplant
site (s) and other details regarding transplanting . Mr . Turner noted
nor the record that if either or both of the trees did not survive,
replacement could not reflect the size (s) to which the trees now had
grown . Referring to the norohonia , he said it is in scarce supply at
nurseries and then only in very small sizes .
In conclusion , Mr . Arenella/Mrs. Gordon made the following MOTION:
THE COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD GIVES FINAL APPROVAL TO
PLANS FOR ALTERATION TO EXISTING LANDSCAPING AT 4307 S.
OCEAN BLVD. , LOT 29E, JOB T92-0312 DATED 5/5/92, SUBJECT TO
TRANSPLANTING OF THE CALOPHYLLUM AND THE NOROHONIA TREES
TO A SITE SUITABLE TO THE GREENING COMMITTEE, ALSO SUBJECT
TO THEIR SURVIVAL FOR ONE (1) YEAR. SHOULD EITHER OR BOTH
TREES NOT SURVIVE DURING THAT TIME, THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE
REPLACED WITH EQUAL TREE (S) , OR THE GREENING COMMITTEE WOULD
ACCEPT A MINIMUM OF $300. 00 EACH TO BUY REPLACEMENT (S) .
Roll call met with unanimous favorable vote.
