TOWN OF HIGHLAND LEACH
Minutes of the regular meeting of the Community Appearance Board
el on Tuesday, March 25, 1975, at the Highland Beach Town Hall at
7:00 P. M.
Father Chepanis said after cost was received he had to cut out
some of the landscaping, but did not so inform the Board. He also
stated that boulders indicated on the north and south-east
corners were disapproved by the State, and that statue is to
be placed at front along AIA, and sign, plus lighting, will be
submitted for approval when he so decides. Father Cnepanis
indicated he would bring the matter of location of statue to his
congregation. Comments by the Board included the following:
1. Does not believe the statue should be near AIA,
but located near the church proper.
2. The statue should be located wherever Father Chepanis
feels is best, but without lighting.
3. Although location of statue was approved the feeling
is that it should be near the church.
4. It was my understanding thattotal landsca ,ing was
approved, including the relocation of the statue,and
I voted on that basis.
5. .egret that a religaus statue symbolic of love and good
feeling could become a symbol of defiance if placed
on the road-side.
5. I appreciated the consideration given to the residents '
feeling about the number of times and intensity of
the pealing of the church beats and woulu appreciate
el the same consideration given to our request for location
of statue. We might add that due credit must be given
to the finelandscaoing already acne.
In response Father Chepanis stated he felt that the statue because
of its beauty should be placed near AIA, but to agree with the
Board will take the matter up with his congregation.
Mr. Rex made motion that inasmuch as Father Chepanis and the
members of the Board would like to see St. Lucy's site further
landscaped to meet the plan as approved, we all will look forward
to the day when financial arrangements can be made to complete
the project. Seconded by :r. Johnson and a?proved by Messrs.
Beekman, Rex, Johnson, Storm, and Mmes. Becker and Stewart.
At 10:30 2.M. Mr. Storm made motion to recess the meeting until
April 14 at 7:00 P.M. Seconded by Mr. Beekman and approve-d by
