City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL November 4, 2024
City Clerk De Jesus read the Ordinance title into the record.
Candice Stone, Community Standards Director, reported that there were no new updates.
She explained that the enforcement approach would be more reactive and complaint-
driven since inspectors cannot easily view the backs of properties.
Vice Mayor Kelley raised concerns about the lack of proactivity, questioning the
effectiveness of waiting for complaints. She cited trouble spots involving trees near
powerlines and asked how unaddressed trees would be managed.
Ms. Stone clarified that the focus would primarily be on single-family homes, with
neighborhoods generally addressing these issues proactively. She added that they would
be proactive only when violations were visible from public areas.
Assistant City Manager Temple discussed the difficulty of accessing areas from which
complaints originated. He also highlighted the nature of received complaints.
Commissioner Turkin expressed preference for a non-reactive approach and discussed
his own experience with low powerlines. He advocated for giving the ordinance more
enforcement authority and suggested a six-month grace period to allow FPL to assist,
benefiting the City.
City Attorney Lamb clarified the ordinance change to incorporate a six-month
enforcement delay.
Ms. Stone proposed an initial three-month period, extendable by another three months if
cited, but was open to the six-month timeframe.

properties and described issues with lines in the alley near her home. She criticized FPL

Mayor Penserga expressed appreciation for the legal team's efforts and said they were
on the right path.

Mayor Penserga suggested using a percentage-based approach.

5% increase halfway through the year as equitable.

Attorney Lamb above the Deputy Attorney's salary.
11
City Commission Meeting

signs; interactive signage map; style; inspiration; signs as art; replacement opportunities;
future signage possibilities; and questions.
Mayor Penserga spoke about the digital signs being concentrated on one side of the City
and suggested that placing them on the other side would be beneficial. He asked if there
are other locations that could be considered for digital signs and noted that the City's
current signage appears as a hodge-podge, emphasizing that a cohesive theme is
necessary. He mentioned that the Art Advisory Board could assist, and stressed that
having signs at every major highway entrance is important.

adding signage in central Congress Avenue would promote equity. She emphasized that

12
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL November 4, 2024
Vice Mayor Kelley highlighted that land use is a significant challenge, particularly in
obtaining permissions from property owners for sign placement. She pointed out that Fire
Station #3 is an ideal location since it is City owned. She expressed that she is
enthusiastic about involving residents, and the Art Board, in developing unique signage
ideas and emphasized that creative thinking is valuable.
Commissioner Hay expressed that he is pleased to see progress on the signage project
and noted that signs in other cities appear well-maintained. He supported that having a
unified theme is crucial to avoid a disorganized appearance. He suggested that the
colorful teal poles over the bridge should continue beyond, as they are popular with the
public. He also raised concerns that blue colors tend to fade more quickly compared to
others.
Commissioner Turkin emphasized the appeal of destination signs, which attract visitors
to take photos. He noted that incorporating artwork into these projects would enhance
their allure. He suggested offering incentives to property owners for sign placement and
voiced a preference for colors other than teal. He advocated for involving the private
sector in funding signage initiatives.
Commissioner Hay added that the legibility of sign fonts should be taken into account,
particularly for readability at speed limit traffic.

Amanda Radigan, Planning and Developing Director, presented the following: artificial
turf; uses of artificial turf; comparisons of natural grass & artificial turf: relevant regulations
for singe family & duplex residential property; comparison among various cities; pros and
cons of artificial turf; direction for future policy, and questions.

Ms. Radigan explained that front lawn regulations address pervious and impervious
percentages.
Mayor Penserga then inquired about drainage requirements and microplastic concerns in
the water.
Ms. Radigan noted that drainage requirements are necessary for all properties and that
permits would address drainage compliance.
Commissioner Turkin expressed that artificial turf should be allowed, mentioning that
properties in Boca Raton look beautiful, and emphasized that homeowners should not be
13
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL November 4, 2024
penalized for enhancing their properties.
Ms. Radigan detailed what Boca Raton allows and discussed how most cities with such
policies have similar requirements, including drainage regulations.

Ms. Radigan responded that specifications could be adjusted based on direction.

Ms. Radigan confirmed that permits are required when the turf area exceeds 800 square
feet.
Vice Mayor Kelley also raised concerns about odors from poorly drained areas and the
presence of microplastics.
Ms. Radigan shared that while her neighborhood uses artificial turf effectively, regular
washing is needed, and microplastic contamination cannot be completely eliminated.
Commissioner Cruz shared that she is concerned about microplastic effects on drainage
but remains open to the idea, advocating for more research and dialogue.
Commissioner Turkin asked if contamination levels differ between the front and back
yards.
Ms. Radigan clarified that there is no difference.
Commissioner Turkin cautioned against overemphasizing microplastic concerns and
supported establishing backyard standards while allowing artificial turf in the front. He
suggested following Boca Raton's example and emphasized the benefits of property
beautification.
Commissioner Hay expressed support for artificial turf but voiced concerns about
biodiversity, chemical compounds, and long-term costs. He noted that installation is
expensive, maintenance is still necessary, and artificial turf tends to become much hotter
than natural grass.
Ms. Radigan acknowledged these issues, discussing the choices and regulations
available for residents.
Commissioner Hay asked if mixed turf, with half real grass and half artificial, could be
allowed.
14
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, FL November 4, 2024
