provisions related to the parking of commercial and recreations)
vehicles.
Attorney Randolph advised that the same provisions are contained in the
Zoning Code and the Motor Vehicle Section. He recommended that this
proposed ordinance be amended to remove existing provisions from the Motor
Vehicle Section and include any amendments in the Zoning Code.
Town Manager Harrington advised that the current code does not provide
that the vehicles in question be screened from view from the street and
that the proposed ordinance would provide that they must be fully screened
from off premise view. Mr. Lynch asked if there were any amendments that
would prevent a property owner from having his vehicle unscreened for
short periods in order to load and unload in a reasonable time.
Regular Meeting -Architectural Review and Planning Board
April 22, 1992 page 3
Town Manager Harrington stated that no changes in that area have been
included, only the screening from off premise view for those that park
the vehicle, or store the vehicle, on their property.

to the Town Commission, seconded by Mrs. LaPorte. Roll Call: Mrs. LaPorte;
AYE, Mrs. Souder; AYE, Mr. Lynch; AYE, Mr. Ogren; AYE, and Chairman
Orthwein; AYE.
Town Manager Harrington and Town Attorney Randolph advised that all of these
ordinancepinvolve the zoning code and as a result must be advertised and
adopted under the provisions of the State Statutes that require the advertis-
ing to be 2, quarter page ads in the newspaper, and that require that two
public hearings be held after 5 P.M. They estimated the cost would be over
$2,000.00 and questioned if the Board felt an urgency to adopt these
ordinances or if they felt the ordinances should be held until possibly
others could be included in the same procedure. Mr. Harrington added that
at the moment he did not foresee any additional changes in the near future.
Mrs. Souder felt the ordinances should be adopted as soon as possible. Mr.
Lynch and Mr. Ogren believed this was a very large expenditure and that
there did not appear to be any emergency at hand in connection with matters
addressed in the ordinances. They favored delaying adoption at this time.
Mrs. Souder moved to recommend that the Ordinances be adopted as soon as
possible, seconded by Mrs. LaPorte. Roll Call: Mrs. LaPorte; AYE, Mrs.

VIII. Items by Staff
A. Report related to the Town Commission review of the existing
provisions of the regulations for installation of satellite
dish antenna systems -Town Manager Harrington
Mr. Harrington reported that the Town Commission had discussed the possibilit
of making the provisions more restrictive but it had been determined that
Otechnology is not such that small units are available and they felt that
the existing ordinance is as restrictive as it could be at this time and
yet not be challenged.
B. Construction in Progress Report
The report revealed there to be $8,584,807 worth of construction underway
in March, 1992. Mr. Harrington explained that this is inflated since several
projects that are listed have been completed. He stated that the April, 1992
report would reflect this. There were no questions.
Regular Meeting -Architectural Review and Planning Board
April 22, 1992 page 4
C. Update on Lamson Application for Site Plan Amendments.
Town Manager Harrington reported that the Town Commission had approved
the change to the planter on the west elevation, approved the changes to
the north window on the west elevation provided the two center columns
were removed, approved the changes to the north elevation, denied the
addition of the second and third floors on the southeast corner of the
Oeast elevation, and approved the changes on the south elevation with the
exception of the second and third floors on the southeast corner which
were denied.
Town Manager Harrington further reported that aerial photos showing the
proposed Florida State Coastal Construction Control Line are expected
by the end of the week and will be on display in the lobby for the public
to review. He advised that three public hearings will be held in Palm
Beach County during the month of May in regard to this proposed line
with approval from the Governor and Cabinet expected in December, 1992.
IX. Items by Board Members
Mrs. Souder questioned when the DOT would be removing the pine trees
along AlA. Mr. Harrington replied that they would not be removing any of
them until the Town had been furnished proof of the location of the DOT
right-of-way. He advised that he believed the surveyors were finished
but there is quite a bit of work to be done in the office of DOT before
the maps would be completed.
X. Public
Mr. Charles Velie, town resident, was recognized and advised that
he would like to comment on the Lamson application process. He observed
that the Town Commission had unanimously turned down some of what the ARPB
had recommended be approved. He stated that he is not just expressing
his opinion, but that of many others he had talked to. Mr. Velie stated
that the public thinks the Board is either too soft when considering these
requests or that the Board has not done it's homework. He believed the
Board and the Commission should not be so far apart in their decisions.
XI. Adjournment
Mrs. Souder moved and Mrs. LaPorte seconded that the meeting be
adjourned and all voted AYE. Chairman Orthwein adjourned the meeting at
10:10 A.M.
