Mr . Chambers and his attorney, Doak Campbell , joined the members at the table to discuss the landscaping plans submitted to obscure the dish from view as regards AlA. Mr . Campbell started the discussion by as- suring the members that , according to expert opinion , the place where the dish was now placed was the only location on the property that would ensure Mr . Chambers the best possible communications. Mr . Savino pointed out several other places on the property that might better ac- commodate the dish and the aesthetics involved , but both Messrs. Camp- bell and Chambers reiterated that this was the only location , again according to the experts in the field , which would allow for the best reception of satellite communications . In a discussion relating to the size of the dish itself , Mr . Chambers advised that it was 10 ' in diameter . He also mentioned that in the near future the diameter of like dishes would be reduced to about 2 ' because of new technology. The members then discussed the proposed plantings that would shield the dish from view, namely two areca palms (west) , three sabal palms ( north) and two sabal palms (east) . Mr . Savino expressed the opinion that the three proposed sabal palms planted north would do little to est shield the dish from sight; instead he suggested a canopy tree . Mr . Chambers then presented pictures of the site under discussion and he and the members debated the merits of the palm trees , or something like Italian Cypress , versus a canopy tree . After some further discussion , Mr . Chambers agreed to replace the three sabal palms (north) with one canopy tree and signed to that effect on the plans . A MOTION was then made by Mr . Towner/Mr . Savino to approve the land- scaping plans dated October 3, 1989, regarding the satellite dish located at 2524 S. Ocean Blvd . , Lot 126 W, as amended to include one (1 ) canopy tree, in lieu of three (3) sabal palms ( north) , to be of sufficient stature to effectively conceal the dish from the view of vehicular and pedestrian traffic along AlA. A roll call vote resulted as follows : Mr . Heetman AYE Mr . Towner AYE Mr . Littlejohn AYE Mr . Galizia AYE Mr . Savino AYE After the MOTION was voted on , Mr . Chambers remarked that in the future he plans to add a second story to the side of the house where the dish r1s located . For the record , Building Official Heithaus asked Mr . Chem- , Jets if he would then raise the dish even higher . Mr . Chambers replied Community Appearance Board Regular Meeting - Minutes October 26, 1989 Page 3 of 4 that it would not be necessary to do so , because creating a second story on that side of the house would not change the roof line .

Ciro Gomez and Dennis Spanola of Amelung Construction and Rodney Chrise of Thornbrough & Associates , Landscape Architects, approached the Board and proceeded to go over the plans with the members . After generally surveying the plans , a discussion ensued regarding a 6 ' privacy wall which will protect a bath area of the proposed residence . Mr . Chrise pointed out that this wall will be heavily landscaped and the need for the 6 ' height had to do with the privacy aspect of the bath that the wall will be shielding . Building Official Heithaus confirmed that a 6 ' wall would be in compliance with Code . After further discussion , a MOTION was made by Mr . Towner/Mr . Little- john to approve the plans for the proposed single family residence at 1070 Bel Lido Dr . , Block 4, Lot 1, dated September 26, 1989 , as sub- mitted by Amelung Construction Co .

Galizia AYE ( � Mr . Savino AYE Community Appearance Board Regular Meeting - Minutes C October 26, 1989 Page 4 of 4 GREENING COMMITTEE: Mr . Galizia noted that to this date there had been no word regarding insurance replacement monies for the tree that had been destroyed by a motorist in front of Wiltshire House (2909 S . Ocean Blvd . ) . Mr . Towner said that he would check on the status of this claim with the Town Manager . Mr . Savino advised that the Greening Committee had been requested to identify all trees that have been planted by them via the use of a plaque . The plaques will serve as a sort of "warning" regarding trimming or pruning of trees belonging to the Town , as only the Town has authority to trim and/or prune these trees . He further stated that possibly an ordinance would have to be put on the books to insure protection of Town trees in this regard . Mr . Savino advised that the new charge for a Greening Committee donated tree would be $300. Mr . Galizia then announced that the next meeting would be held on November 30 and also that he would be the Inspector for the month of November . There being no further business to come before the board , the meeting ewas adjourned at 10 : 35 A.M. upon MOTION by by� Mr . Towner/Mr . Savino .
