Color w Community Appearance Board Regular Meeting - Minutes February 28 , 1991 Page 2 of 5 samples were presented by Mr . Hain. Building Official Heithaus noted that T-111 as an exterior surface in beach conditions had not proven to be a good one and said that the change requested would be an improvement . Concluding discussion , the following MOTION was made by Mrs . Perrone/ Mr . Heetmann : The Community Appearance Board approves plans for a change in surface of those exterior walls now finished with T-111 to stucco as submitted by J.A.B. Construction , Inc . (Contractor) for Boca Cove Villas, 4513 S. Ocean Blvd . , Lot 17E. Roll call resulted in unanimous favorable vote . Final Review for Sign Replacements for Boca Highland Center , 4720 S. Ocean Blvd . , Lots 1W and 2W; submitted by Boca Highland Center , Inc . Ed Fanning , Manager of Boca Highland Center , told the members that the existing large permanent sign had been deteriorated by termites ; the new one would be erected in the same position as the existing one and be constructed of aluminum with stucco finish and would employ interior illumination . The entry and exit sign replacements would be of differ- ent design than the existing , he said , and would measure 1 ' x 3 ' . Mr . Heithaus advised that all the proposed replacements were within Town Code requirements and the large sign would most likely be less than the allowed 10 sq. ft . because of rounded edges . After some further discussion and review, Mr . Savino/Mrs. Perrone made the following MOTION: The Community Appearance Board approves sign replacements for Boca Highland Center , 4720 S . Ocean Blvd . , Lots 1W and 2W, to include one (1) large permanent sign and one (1) each entry and exit signs, as submitted by Boca Highland Center , Inc .

Owner Gerald Marcy and Nicholas Barbrie, Architect , addressed the members and apprised them of the planned amendment to previously ap- proved plans ; i .e. , the inclusion of an enclosed "look-out" space with a gazebo appearance on the second floor . Community Appearance Board Regular Meeting - Minutes n February 28, 1991 Page 3 of 5 Mr . Heithaus advised that the change would require a roof line change , but this would not affect the requirments of Town Code and the project was still in compliance. After review and discussion, Mr . Savino/Mr . Littlejohn made the follow- ing MOTION: The Community Appearance Board approves the amended site plan for a single family residence at 2425 S . Ocean Blvd . , Lot 130E as submitted by T.C.B. of S . Florida Eor Marcy (owner) , Job 9002, revised 1/21/91, Sheets A-4, A-6, A-7 and A-8. Roll call met with unanimous favorable vote . RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY 1) Villa Costa, 3210 S . Ocean Blvd . , Lot 101 West 2) Villa Mare, 3211 S. Ocean Blvd . , Lot 101 East Developer Philip Colman and General Contractor (Stolte) representative Bill Bullen were in attendance . f'Th Mr . Savino stated that besides himself, Co-Chairman Guy Galizia and Regular Members John W. Littlejohn and Paul Heetmann , as well as Alternate Member Frank Arenella , had made the inspections of these projects. While the landscaping was not in compliance with approved plans , Mr . Savino said , the substitutions used , as well as additional plantings not previously called for in the plans, made up for the changes . He said the inspecting members had been advised that the changes were necessary due to the freeze of 1989 which made some of the called-for species unavailable . Lighting on the Villa Mare building was acceptable, Mr . Savino said; however , he said lighting on the Villa Costa building appeared a bit harsh and suggested that Mr . Colman consider lower density on this site . Regarding signage, it was noted that the signs were hard to read during daytime and Mr . Colman advised that these were being changed in color to be more easily read . A MOTION by Mr . Savino/Mr . Littlejohn to recommend Certificates of Oc- cupancy for these projects met with unanimous approval of the members . Mr . Colman thanked the members for their recommendation and asked to be heard at this time regarding a problem being encountered because of Community Appearance Board Regular Meeting - Minutes P"1 February 28, 1991 Page 4 of 5 some black olive trees planted in the area of the decorative pond lo- cated in front of the Villa Costa site . He said the leaves shed from these trees have created an enormous maintenance problem in that they were extremely difficult to clear from the pond and the surrounding area . He asked if they might be replaced with another accepted "cleaner" species . Mr . Galizia read into the record that portion of Chapter 28-1/2 which prohibits the destruction of certain species , including black olive, and Mr . Colman acknowledged the Code , inquiring if he might then trans- plant them to another section of the site . After some discussion , it was the CONSENSUS of the members to table Mr . Colman' s request at this time . 3) Single Family Residence, 2352 S. Ocean Blvd . , Lot 135W, Balsam (Owner) . Mr . Savino informed the members that he had done the inspection of this site and found it to meet all requirements pertinent to the C.A.B. Upon MOTION by Mr . Savino/Mr . Heetmann, the members voted unanimously to recommend a Certificate of Occupany for the project . GREENING COMMITTEE Mr . Savino advised he had placed an order for 20-some plaques for do- nated trees to start replacement of the plaques that had been vandal- ized/destroyed in recent months. He also mentioned a conversation with the Town Manager wherein he had requested that the possibility of having warning signs from the Police Department to discourage further destruction of plaques be considered . OTHER Mr . Galizia referred to the sign ordinance and read pertinent sections into the record which disallowed attachments (balloons, etc .) to adver- tising signs . He asked the Building Official to ensure that all pro- jects in Town comply with the Code . Mr . Galizia announced that the next Regular Meeting is scheduled for March 28, with the agenda closing March 13, and that Mr . Savino would be inspector for the month of March. There being no further business to come before the Board at this time , the meeting was adjourned at 10: 25 A.M. upon MOTION by Mr . Galizia/Mr . Littlejohn . dmt .
