CASUARINA, 3450 SOUTH OCEAN BOULEVARD, (TOWN LOT 88N) - AMENDED LANDSCAPING PLAN REVIEW - ARCHITECT DIGBY BRIDGES, PRESENT. Architect Digby Bridges, addressing the Community Appearance Board, explained the amended landscaping plans . The australian pine from the center of the driveway, said Mr. Bridges, will be removed and replaced with live oaks and new planting will be done around the Casuarina sign. Live oaks, when planted in restricted positions, can be controlled and are beautiful trees . Mr. Bridges said black olive trees do not tolerate the salt air too well. Architect Bridges said the live oak trees thin out in the winter and thicken in the summer and will provide shade in the parking area . The Casuarina pines, said Mr. Bridges, will remain. The landscaping was amended to enhance the area, said Mr. Bridges, and he suggested deleting the black olive trees as they require good protection to survive. Architect Bridges said the amended landscaping plan will include more plants than the original plan. Included in the landscaping, said Mr. Bridges, will be Hibiscus, Pittosporum, Oleander and the like. A MOTION by Frank Savino, seconded by Arthur Keller, to recommend the acceptance of the amended plans of landscaping at the Casuarina as illustrated on drawing dated 8-3-85, revision 2, carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS THE ENCLAVES OF BOCA COVE, 4520 SOUTH OCEAN BOULEVARD, (TOWN LOT 15S) . Acting Chairman Galizia noted that at the July 25, 1985, meeting, the Community Appearance Board approved the landscaping and tabled the approval of the building facade at the Enclaves because elevations were not shown. The members signed the first sheet which incorporated entire plans rather than the landscaping plan of phase 2 as shown on drawing #105-85 dated May 27, 1985 . esti i COMMUNITY APPEARANCE BOARD Regular Meeting August 29, 1985 Page 4 of 5 At the July 25th meeting, Mr. Gore explained that the drawings would be the same as the original plans except the buildings will be just two stories high. No drawings of the new project were available; therefore, the Community Appearance Board did not approve the facade. Regarding the landscaping, Mr. Gore said he has more landscaping than the original townhouses. The Community Appearance Board members were advised that the project will be a continuation of the buildings already constructed. After a brief discussion, the members were ready to recommend approval of the facade at the Enclaves of Boca Cove. Mr. Keller made a MOTION, seconded by Mr. Savino, that the original approval was intended to be limited only to landscaping - not the entire project - since the change involves a two story from a three story sturcture using the same colors and materials . The drawing, as indicated on drawing A4 of 6, signed by John S . Oberowski and dated 5-28-85 is approved. All members were in favor of the MOTION. Frank Savino made a MOTION, seconded by Louise Johnson, to nominate Guy Galizia chairman of the Community Appearance Board. All members were in favor of the MOTION.
