Mayor Randels explained that the purpose of the meeting is to determine if it is the desire of
Council to continue the Community Appearance Board, and if so with what structure.
Mr. Hernandez opined that a lot of time and energy has been invested not only by the
Community Appearance Board Members, but the ad hoc committee as well. He stated that
he would like to see the board continue, particularly since the procedures have been
changed to hold the appearance review before site plans are reviewed by Planning &
Zoning.
Mr. Bruns explained that he brought up the issue initially, and agrees that the board was
well conceived. He opined that it would likely be easier to administer the board if there

which was contingent upon the facade being constructed of green marble and funding
issues have dictated that they will need to use a different stone.
Mayor Randels queried, "what was the ad hoc committee's intent for the board ?"
Marilyn Rigerman, ad hoc committee member, responded that the impetus was concern
for some structures that were erected on A1A. She stated that the ordinance is not exactly
as proposed, however, the basis for the board in generalities is there because everything
can not be defined. She related that colors and sketches should be accepted as conceptual,
not precise.
Mr. Wood opined that recommended and not recommended architectural styles,
landscaping and colors should be illustrated in the building department as a guideline for
developers. He related that color hues are easily demonstated.
