Meeting Minutes

Increase density and size of plantings on Williams Road and north property line berms (minimum 14’ OA, 45-gallon oaks)

Live Oaks cannot be too close to power lines; plant at north edge of 20’ buffer

Use larger plant material than on adjoining Williams Road (Pelican Sound) berm (proposed berm is not as tall)

Taller staggered Sabal Palms, and increase quantities in groups on north property line and Williams Road berms (to buffer 2-story buildings)

Use double-row hedge of taller, 10-galllon (5’ height) material along Williams Road berm; possibly only use 10-gallon material for back row

Larger plant material throughout project; minimum tree size requested 14’ overall, 45-gallon material (typical minimums throughout).

Add palms in sewage easement on west side of property (these palms cannot count against county minimum requirements). It was further recommended that the easement be better designed to facilitate a more appropriate landscape application.

Color rendering does not match with footprint on architectural plan (will be fixed for next month’s meeting presentation)

Suggested continuous tile-roof segment along front façade to better articulate the structure.

The mustard-yellow color of outside walls is horrible

Requested ironwork over / around windows to better articulate a medeterranean theme.

Verified that future restaurant will conform to building design

Committee asked about pedestrian access; presenter responded that there would be little pedestrian activity outside of the building. Recommended better pedestrian circulation throughout parking areas.

Need plants around lift station (presently unbuffered). Relocate easement to facilate appropriate landscaping in parking and throughout site.

Committee recommends substitutes for Dahoon Holly in entryway (ex. Mahogany or black olive shady lady)

Irrigation plan is insufficient

There is not enough plant material in front of the building; Committee suggested taller (and perhaps better) trees in front, particularly in center island. Cabbage palms as formal treatments and at the base of a large building are not appropriate.

Suggest better-quality palms, i.e. royals, foxtails, dates, etc. instead of sabals for entry and median

Suggest wider islands along entry corridor and greater volume of plantings to compensate for huge parking lot

Suggested more decorative pavers from main entry continuously through porte cochere; presently it’s just concrete everywhere.

Suggest rounded windows on top floor all across front of building
