Title
Presentation of excerpts from the Landscape Beautification Advisory Board meeting of April 2, 2009, requesting the following action:
In order to integrate the designs, the Landscape Beautification Advisory Board would like to see a landscape design for both traffic circle intersections on Segovia Street (Biltmore Way and Coral Way) including the hardscape and landscape prior to planting the Segovia Street and Coral Way Circle.
Body
RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY MANAGER:
The recommendation from the Landscape Beautification Advisory Board will be forwarded to the Public Works Department for consideration, with final plans to be reviewed by all pertinent boards.
SUMMATION OF RECOMMENDATION:
Dan Keys noted that the Historical Preservation Board had signed off on the traffic circle at Coral Way and Segovia Street as they do not believe the proposed Royal Palm landscaping would deter from the historical value of either roadway. Linda Lawrence noted that the side areas around the circle have been planted with Live Oak trees. Maricris Longo stated that she feels that the entire street needs to be considered when designing a traffic circle rather than just designing them one at a time. Discussion was held among board member regarding the suggestion made by Maricris Longo. A motion was made by Barbara Katzen stating "In order to integrate the designs, the Landscape Beautification Advisory Board would like to see a landscape design for both traffic circle intersections on Segovia Street (Biltmore Way and Coral Way), including the Hardscape and Landscape prior to planting the Segovia Street and Coral Way circle." The motion was seconded by Linda Lawrence, voted upon and adopted with a unanimous vote.
