NEW BUSINESS
Preliminary Review for Demolition of Existing Rectory and Construction
of New Rectory at 3510 S. Ocean Blvd . , Lot 85W ; submitted by St. Lucy' s
Church _^
Building Official Heithaus addressed the Board , asking that they con-
sider giving final rather than preliminary review to the plans, as they
were complete and well done . There was no objection from the members.
E.N. Turano and Dan Carter identified themselves as the architect and
landscape architect respectively and the members convened to the table
with them to review the plans .
Among areas covered during review were the fact that the existing
rectory would not be demolished until the new one was built; some
existing trees would be transplanted and utilized with new vegetation;
and the parking would consist of six (6) spaces to accommodate those
visiting the rectory, planned in such a way as to eliminate the U-turn
situation which now exists . All questions raised by the members were
answered to their satisfaction .
Concluding review, Mr . Arenella/Mrs. Gordon made the following MOTION:

Motion met with unanimous favorable roll call vote .
OLD BUSINESS
Mr . Galizia questioned the signage on the Ocean Place project (Lots 20-
28E) and asked the Building Official to address why these three (3)
large signs on the one property were allowed , since it would appear the
sign ordinance (No . 550) was being violated . In response, Mr . Heithaus
said this property had been the subject of a Settlement of Litigation
with the Town Commission; in turn for greatly reduced density (property
was originally designated high rise zoning , but new owner was willing
to build only 14 single family homes - now possibly reduced again to 8
single family homes) certain criteria had been waived . As an example ,
Mr . Heithaus said there was no charge for permits on the project; he
also said the owner would be within code if he chose to put a sign on
each of the individual eight (8) lots . He further explained that when
the owner requested two (2 ) signs in addition to the one already in
place in the center of the project, he had discussed it with Town
Manager Mary Ann Mariano and it was their consensus that allowing two
(2) additional signs on the north and south boundaries of the project
would be in best interest of the Town .
While Mr . Heithaus ' explanation was understood and accepted , it was
noted that in the future it would be in the best interest of the work
of the Board if this kind of pertinent information was transmitted to
them.
GREENING COMMITTEE
Lengthy discussion took place regarding the work of the Committee .
Areas of interest included :
. ongoing discussion regarding updating/computerizing
information on trees/placements/honorees/donors .
. possible solution to reduce tree plaques being
destroyed by landscape personnel by placing
asparagus fern around base on all trees, both
existing and future plantings .
. reduction in price to purchasers of existing town-owned
trees ($250 versus $300 ) . It was noted that most of these
are on the east side of AlA and thus are not as desirable
to purchasers who wish their plaques to be visible from the
bike/walking path on the west side of AlA.
. request tree-purchase information be put on Government
Channel 12.
