the configuration of the pool has changed slightly, a 10 ft. garden
structure with arches that will eventually be covered with flowering
plants has been added. She added that the driving radius has changed
slightly for maneuvering. Two large potocarpis trees on the east side
are dying and will be removed and replaced with thick foliage. A
bubbling urn and a fire/water feature by the pool area on the north west
corner of the property is also proposed.
Mr. Ganger asked if the water will be recaptured and if there is a
safety issue with the fire and/or wall.
Town Clerk Taylor explained that on the original landscaping plan, there
were some concerns about landscaping on the south and the east side but
the Driftwood Landing HOA has given approval for the new changes and the
garden wall. However, the fire/water feature was not a part of that
approval.
Town Manager Thrasher was not comfortable approving the fire/water
feature and he believes it needs approval from the Driftwood Landing HOA
and the Delray Beach Fire Department. Additionally, if the drainage
plan is altered, it will be brought back to the ARPB for approval.

landscape plan and revised drainage plan dated July 2, 2008, as
