NORTH OCEAN BOULEVARD LANDSCAPING ADVISORY COMMITTEE
TOWN OF GULF STREAM
OCTOBER 22, 1992, 9:10 AM
TOWN HALL OF GULF STREAM
100 SEA ROAD, GULF STREAM, FLORIDA
*************************************************************
The meeting was called to order by the Chairman,
Jeanne Breazeale, at 9:10 AM. In attendance were
Jeanne Breazeale, Mary Windle, Kim Tiernan, Linda
Bryan, and Eleanor Woolems.
II. Jeanne announced Eleanor's official appointment to
the NOBLAC committee and stated that we must stick to
our scheduled meeting dates and may not cancel.
III. Brief discussion regarding DOT and their follow-up on
intended tree work on North Ocean Boulevard. There
is little that we can do until this work is
completed. We imagine that they are still very busy
in Miami.
IV. Jeanne updated us on her most recent research:
Hawaii's reaction to Hurricane Imiki -- as in the
Bahamas, they did not feel that the Australian Pines
sustained significantly more damage than the other
vegetation -- in fact, they did better than many
trees.
Jeanne also advised us of her continuing research on
the sterile hybrids. Seedlings are available, but
difficult to acquire and even more difficult to bring
into the country due to DNR's regulations. Seeds
would be easier to access, but then we would have to
grow our own seedlings. We determined that, should
it be necessary to follow this course, the seedlings
would be ready to plant as we begin to lose our old
growth pines. We could then initiate a program of
gradual underplanting so as not to destroy the
ambiance of the Boulevard all at one time.
V. Jeanne distributed packets to all present for
continuing research in the areas of Urban Forestry,
Grant Programs, Legislative updates, and the
Historical value sideline.
VI. Jeanne again stated that we cannot put together a
solid program of defense, replacement, maintenance,
and budget until DOT does their job.

VII. We discussed plans for possible fundraising events.
This included collecting old photos of A1A for
possible reproduction onto note cards. Mary said
that she would follow-up on this.
VIII. Mayor Koch would like to plan a dedication ceremony
for A1A (Historic Highway) sometime in January at the
Town Hall.
IX. The next meeting is scheduled for December 10, 1992,
at 9:00 AM.
X. Jeanne adjourned the meeting.
