Chairman Leng called the meeting to order advising this was a special
meeting of the Community Appearance Board, Town of Highland Beach, Florida,
called at the request of the Town Commission for them to hear our recomm-
endations on the Harcourt Sylvester property dune walkover.

plans and other material in the Town Hall chambers, due to the lighting
and noted that a request for improvement in lighting would be made by the
Board.
Present: D. R. Rome, J. F. Schneider, F. Savino,
B. J. Stewart, A. Leng.
Mrs. Rome noted that visiting the Sylvester property presented a better
picture of the proposed dune walkover than had been provided by the plans
submitted at the meeting held March 25, 1982 .
A review of the Criteria and Procedures of the Community Appearance Board
followed. Mrs. Rome noted the members had concurred on preliminary recom-
mendations at the CAB meeting held on February 11, 1982 .
Members agreed to recommend the following changes in Criteria and Procedures
for the Community Appearance Board:
7 .0 (a) JR5
1. Dune walks may be permitted in order to provide
access to the beach and preserve the dunes in their
natural vegetation.

topography of the dune line at a height denoted by
the DNR.
Inside measurements between railings should not be
more than four f3et.
Aesthetics of the design are of the utmost importance
and each walkover shall be judged individually on its

(c) Landscaping includes not only trees and plants, but
paving, dune walkovers, benches, fountains, exterior
lighting fixtures, fences and any othered iteof exterior
/� furniture. All items are to be selectnotm only for
their functional value but also for their aesthetic value
and must complement the whole .

or mask out such areas as roadways, parking lots and load-
ing areas, TV satellite, earth receiving stations/dish, or
any other feature or areas considered to be objectionable
to the naked eye. The achievement of this may be through
the use of walls, fences, mounds or earth or vegetation.
