Clemmer Mayhue discussed that the need for the

Palm Beach Silks is the type of decor/signage that the

• cooperate if a development plan for the building were
developed and implemented at a later date and the
applicant indicated that he would, and would like that
to be a part of the motion.

(Palm Beach Silks) and that the Board should not
approve anything other than that. The consensus of the
Board was that the Board had no right to dictate that
design at this time and that the applicants request was
reasonable.
