Commission Action The City Commission has approved the Woolbright Grill. They have also approved the use changes in the Federal Highway Core area. Questions to the Director Vice Chair Heavilin inquired if there were any dates on the Promenade design concepts. Mr. Hutchinson stated that he and Chair Finkelstein were reviewing the contract for the initial design elements and the timeframe would emerge from their discussions. Chair Finkelstein stated that he believed there would be an initial compilation of ideas and concepts from the architect in about 30-45 days. He would be also be reviewing the initial design concepts contract with Quincy Johnson. Mr. Hutchinson stated that they are not asking for construction drawings and bid documents at this time because they wished to give the Board some visions and options to look at so the Board could give direction to the project. Mr. Fenton asked if there had been any movement in the purchase of property. Mr. Hutchinson indicated that there were several properties that were still in the negotiation process. The environmental survey was done on the Relax Inn and the results are expected in the near future. 3 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 Mr. DeMarco wished to have a ballpark idea of the start and finish dates for the Marina project. Mr. Hutchinson stated that the developer would be presenting a list of items at next week's meeting, after which dates should be more definitive. The developer has submitted the final site plan to the City, including the designs for the apartment buildings, for review. The best answer they had verbally was that it would take 24 months for completion. The Board will be getting a full presentation on the site plan and the questions of timing will be a part of the presentation. The Board members were anxious for Mr. Hutchinson to know the background and history of the Madna Project and Mr. Hutchinson stated that he had been thoroughly briefed by City staff on the project and Chair Finkelstein was involved also. Mr. Hutchinson stated that meaningful progress was coming up. VI. Unfinished Business - None VII. Public Hearings A. Old Business New Site PI an Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Kensington Place (NWSP 02-006) Vince Zabik, Showcase COntractors, Inc. Vince Zabik South side of S.E. 23rd Avenue between Federal Highway and the Florida East Coast Railroad right-of-way Request new site plan approval for 17 town homes on a 1,62-acre parcel. Maxime Ducoste-Amedee, Planner, explained that this project had been tabled at the previous CRA meeting, pending evidence of improvements that the CRA had requested. The improvements requested by the CRA were to make offsets in the building elevations, modify the roofline, include additional landscaping adjacent to the buildings, and change the dumpster orientation. Mr. Ducoste-Amedee stated that staff had met with the applicant, and were satisfied that all of the recommendations made by the CRA had been incorporated into the plans. Ms. Galav indicated that, under normal procedures, the Board would not see the final drawings and that the applicant had revised the site plan drawing to show the offsets of the building units and the dumpster relocation. Vince Zabik, applicant, stated that he agreed with all 44 Conditions of Approval. He commented that in addition to the offsets, he had changed the design to include hip and gable ends. Ms. Hoyland believed that the elevations needed to be strengthened even further since they would be facing Golf Road. She indicated that she could support additional architectural elements or good-sized shade trees to soften the elevations. Mr. DuCoste-Amedee pointed out that Conditions of Approval #39 and #40 dealt with Ms. Hoyland's concerns. Ms. Hoyland thought the Board needed to make recommendations that were more specific than stated in the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Tillman asked the 4 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 applicant if they would include live oak to break up the wall expanse facing Golf Road and the FEC tracks and Mr. Zabik agreed to do so. Mr. Aguila suggested an improvement to the proposed offset scheme by having the two center units of the six-unit building out front, balanced by two units shifted back on either side of the two center units. He stated that the current proposal was for one unit back and one forward followed by two back and two forward and it went back and forth. He thought a more uniform pattern from west to east might be better, starting with two up, two back, three up, two back, two up for a 2-2-3-2-2. Mr. Zabik showed the Board digital photos of a similar project he had done in Deerfield Beach to help them visualize the project. The Board confirmed with Mr. Zabik that the scoring in his plans would be replaced by banding as depicted in the digital photos. A discussion ensued about Fiberglas shingles versus concrete tiles for the roof material. Mr. Zabik stated that everything surrounding the proposed project had asphalt shingles and it would be the only new project in an older area; however, they could use three- dimensional shingles. Ms. Hoyland thought cement tiles would be more appropriate. Mr. Zabik thought that using a tile roof would add from $8 to $10K to each unit. Mr. DeMarco inquired whether anyone from Planning & Zoning had gone to see Mr. Zabik's project in Deerfield Beach and on hearing that no one had, repeated his suggestion from the previous meeting that someone do so. Mr. DeMarco also inquired about the color scheme and received confirmation that the colors were not as presented at the previous meeting. Chairman Finkelstein opened the Public Hearing. Board Attorney Payne administered an oath to Robert Ensler. Robert Ensler, 26 Woods Lane, Boynton Beach, spoke about hips and gables. He agreed with the Board's efforts to enhance the appearance of the proposed project. He stated that this was an opportunity to redevelop the area in terms of what was desired in the future, and not just what was in the area today. He expressed a preference for: 1) tile versus shingles; 2) earth tones in the color scheme; and 3) hips versus gables. He preferred a consistent pattern of architecture and so was against alternating hips and gables on the same building. Chairman Finkelstein closed the Public Hearing. Chair Finkelstein indicated that the Board was responsible for upgrading the housing stock in the area and because of that, were trying to "set the bar higher" for redevelopment activity. Mr. Aguila asked Mr. Zabik if he would agree to use raised, banding with an accent color on the proposed project, as shown on the digital photos. He also asked if the applicant would consider putting decorative wood shutters on the end units to add color and interest to the elevation. Mr. Zabik agreed to both suggestions. Mr. Aguila asked that the landscape material for the end units be tall at the time of installation. Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 Chair Finkelstein asked about fencing and was told that the applicant would use the new PVC fencing for durability and appearance. Motion Mr. Tillman moved to give site plan approva to Kensington Place, NWSP 02-006, including all staff Conditions of Approval (COA) as provided except: 1) that on COA #35, the inclusion of flat or "S" tile and not asphalt shingle roof; 2) on COA #40, the use of tall shrubbery such as live oak as part of the landscaping clusters; 3) the inclusion of wood shutters and raised stucco banding on the end of the buildings. Mr. Aquila seconded the motion with an additional request that his offset/staggering scheme replace the applicant's current offset scheme. Mr. Tillman agreed to all additions to the motion. The motion carried 7-0. Major Site Plan Modification Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: M & L Roofing (MSPM 02-003) Riza N. Altan, P.E. Mel Lowe 630 Industrial Avenue Request for a major site plan modification to add 8,283 square feet to a 1,275 square foot existing light industrial warehouse building for a total of 10,558 square feet on a 0.64-acre parcel. Eric' Johnson, Planner, reported that this case had been tabled from the previous CRA meeting since the applicant did not appear. He gave an overview of the project. Since the staff report was written, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has determined that the proposed project meets standards and this would eliminate Condition of Approval (COA) #11. One space within the proposed row of parking has been designated as reserved for the fire vehicle turn-around area. This element of the plan has been endorsed and approved by the City Fire Department. The applicant has agreed to all fifteen Conditions of Approval. Riza Altan, project engineer for M & L Roofing, responded to questions from the Board. Mr. Aguila expressed concern about the appearance of the proposed "T" joists, which would extend eight feet from the building. He believed its appearance could be improved by extending the mansard roof or some other improvement. Ms. Hoyland asked if the applicant would be willing to continue the mansard around the entire north and west side of the building, where the eight-foot overhang now appeared? Mr. Altan said if the Board insisted, yes, but that he felt there was a structural reason for the design they proposed - the cantilevedng balances the bending moment. Mr. Aguila said that was very true, structurally, but that the structural design could not drive the aesthetics of the building. Mr. Altan stated that the cantilevered design had been selected to give the maximum amount of protection from the elements to the interior of the service areas when the doors were open. 6 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 Ms. Hoyland believed that the turnaround/maneuvering area for the fire access vehicles needed to be moved to space 22, so that there would be adequate back out from parking space 21. Mr. Johnson stated that the Fire Department had indicated that this space could be moved virtually anywhere. Mr. Aguila asked if there were a backup space requirement in the Codes. Mr. Aguila said that when one was in space 22 and backed out, they would hit the building, unless they backed straight out. Mr. Aguila asked whether the Code required a back-up/maneuvering area for the end space and Mr. Johnson replied that it did not. Mr. DeMarco asked about the number of employees and the maximum number of trucks that would be in the area at any one time. He was told four of the employees stayed in the vicinity but that most of the employees came in early and went out into the City for the rest of the day. The maximum number of roofing trucks parked there would be ten. Ms. Hoyland noted that the elevation sheet indicated a color of "soft cranberry," but the elevations in front of the Board appeared to be yellow. Mr. Altan said the color was beige. The Board asked staff if the applicant had submitted a color chip and the response was that they had not. Mr. Aguila did not think the project was ready for the Board to review. Chairman Finkelstein opened the Public Hearing. Bob Ensler, 26 Woods Lane, Boynton Beach, brought up a point about the ddve aisle behind the parking space. Chair Finkelstein stated that there was an end parking space that abuts the building, with no backup space behind it. The Board questioned Whether the City Code required end parking spaces to have a "bump out," but the Code does not have such a provision. Chairman Finkelstein closed the Public Hearing. Motion Mr. Tillman moved to table the request, pending receipt of more information from the applicant. Ms. Hoyland seconded the motion with a request to add direction to the applicant. With Mr. Tillman's permission, Ms. Hoyland asked: 1) that the emergency vehicle turnaround space be moved to space 22; that the applicant provide a color chip of the proposed building paint color and, if possible, a visual representation of the color that matches the paint chip; that the applicant provide an elevation that indicates the mansard roof on the north elevation and the west elevation to match what is proposed on the existing building; to see the mansard roof continue on the west elevation of the existing building and the north and west elevations of the proposed building. Mr. Tillman agreed to the additions to the motion. Quintus Greene, Development Director, addressed the Board, saying that the CRA was not in a position to require the applicant to do something that the City's Code did not require them to do. Chair Finkelstein advised that the Board could request it. The Board felt that any emergency vehicle would stay in the drive aisle and back right out. Mr. Greene agreed but objected to designating the parking space With the least amount of maneuverability as the emergency vehicle space. Ms. Hoyland believed that 7 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 common sense dictated that with a dead-end parking bay, there had to be a maneuvering panel. If the Code did not have such a provision at present, she thought that the Code should be amended. Mr. Fenton believed the emergency vehicle slot should be left where it was shown on the drawing. Mr. Aguila said his addition to the motion was to ask staff to talk to the Fire Department about moving the turnaround space to the end of the row, in the spot shown on the drawing as space 22, and not designate it as an emergency vehicle space but simply a turnaround space. Mr. Tillman and Ms. Hoyland accepted this amendment to the motion. The motion carried 6-1, Mr. Fenton dissenting. Mel Lowe, owner of M & L Roofing, was concerned about losing four feet of protection for the service bays if they changed from the cantilevered design to mansard. Chair Finkelstein suggested that the applicant meet with staff to gain a better idea of what the Board wanted and what could be done to improve the appearance of the building. The Board realized that it was in an industrial area but believed that the appearance issue could be satisfied with some modification(s). Also, the Board wished to see a representation of what the entire project would look like, showing the existing building and the proposed improvements. B. New Business Conditional Use/Site Plans 1. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Lighthouse Academy (COUS 02-003) Robed Kuoppala, Kuoppala & Associates Julius G. Francis 202 West Boynton Beach Boulevard Request Conditional Use/New Site Plan approval to construct a 5.032 square foot, 100-child daycare facility on 0.62 acres. Eric Johnson, Planner, gave an overview of the project, saying that the project would be consistent with the guidelines of Vision 20/20. Staff recommended approval of the project, contingent upon satisfaction of the eleven Conditions of Approval. Robert Kuoppala, project architect and agent for Lighthouse Academy, stated that they were unaware of any Vision 20/20 guidelines and had mOdeled their project after the City's Codes and thought that they had proposed something that conformed to those Codes. They also believed that their project conformed to staff's recommendations for appearance. The applicant did have some concerns about the staff recommendations pertaining to signage. Staff had issues with size on the monument sign and scale on the facade sign. The applicant believed that their proposed monument sign conforms to the maximum square footage allowed in the Code. They proposed channel letters in the same color as the roof for the facade sign and believed that the sign size conformed to the maximum Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 size allowable and they wished to keep this. The fa~;ade sign would sit up on the mansard and would not go above the roof parapet. The applicant's design had various widths for the parking spaces because they wanted to maximize their practicality as much as possible. Mr. Aguila thought that making all the parking spaces the standard 9 ft. width would allow for a little more landscaping for the project. Mr. Kuoppala stated that West Palm Beach also had a nine-foot wide parking space and with a full-size conversion van, parking was difficult in the nine-foot spots. Mr. Aguila asked about the gap in the roofline on the south elevation. Mr. Kuoppala stated that this was for the "ship's ladder," which would go up to the roof. Mr. Aguila confirmed that this would be permanently mounted with some sort of protection to keep children from climbing up it. The applicant was still looking for a place inside where they could put a scuttle area but had not found one yet. Ms. Hoyland thought that the applicant might want to consider stepping the six-foot high wall down about three feet, fifteen or twenty feet back from the southeast corner, for site visibility purposes. Mr. Tillman stated that a small dumpster and enclosure would be necessary to accommodate the large number of children. The applicant agreed. Ms. Laurinda Logan, City Civil Engineer, stated that if a dumpster were to be put in, it would have to be oriented in such a manner as to allow for the turning movements of the garbage trucks. Mr. DeMarco was concerned about the safety of the children on such a heavily traveled street, and believed that a traffic light to guide traffic into and out of the site would be very helpful. The Board agreed that a traffic light would be desirable but stated that it would require traffic studies and a level of service and support from other agencies. He also inquired about the height of the fences. Mr. Kuoppala responded that they were proposing a six-foot high fence all around the entire playground area and that there would also be a concrete block wall on the south side of the property. They were concerned about safety also and proposed putting bollards in behind the fence within the hedge to give an extra layer of protection to the children on the playground. Mr. Aguila suggested that instead of bollards, which tended to tip after awhile, that the applicant might consider putting in a chain link fence with wood posts in the ground between the hedge and the chain link fence. Mr. Johnson wanted to make sure that the applicant understood Condition of Approval #4. Mr. Kuoppala stated that he had faxed the Health Department requirements to Mr. Johnson, which had a requirement that the site have adequate drainage. The playground, as part of the site, would also have to have drainage. The applicant was proposing a drain with a grate over it and a floor over that, topped with a swing set, as an answer to the safety issue. The water could get to the drain if a slight swale were put in. Ms. Logan indicated that the Engineering Department was concerned about the safety of the children and this was why they recommended relocation of the inlet. If there were 9 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 another way to positively protect the inlet, Engineering would be agreeable, as long as it were made inaccessible to the children. Mr. Kuoppala agreed, saying that the safety grate with flooring above it would be their choice if it would be agreeable to the City. Mr. Henderson thought if a "hill" effect were created on the playground, that the water would naturally drain off to the down side, away from the children. Mr. Kuoppala agreed, but stated that having swale all the way from the northwest corner of the property and around the bottom, south side, would create too much fall. They could do a gentle, inverted crown in the playground area and swale down to the inlet and let it go out to the pipe. Mr. Johnson said that with that discussion in mind, he wanted to amend Condition ~N to read aS follows: "Staff requires reconfiguration of Type "A" inlet location located on the playground to an area where it will not pose a hazard." Chairman Finkelstein opened the Public Hearing. Chris Kuehn, 201 N,W. 1st Avenue, BoYnton Beach, the neighbor to the south of the propoSed daycare center, was concerned about the hours of operation. Herb Suss, citizen of Boynton Beach, stated that he shared Mr. DeMarco's concerns about the heavy traffic and the difficulty of making the left turn onto Boynton Beach Boulevard. He complimented the Board on their thoroughness and attention to detail. Mr. Kuoppala stated that the hours of operation would be from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, closed on Sunday. Ms. Hoyland asked Mr. Kuehn if he had any comment about that. Mr. Kuehn thought 8:30 p.m. was pretty late. Mr. Kuoppala stated the owner was trying to serve the people who work hours other than 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Chairman Finkelstein closed the Public Hearing. Chair Finkelstein asked Mr. Kuoppala if he agreed with the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Kuoppala had a comment on COA #8 about the trees. He stated there were four trees on site and the tree, "item E," mentioned by the Forester was on the adjacent property, based upon the survey. They revised the landscape plan and submitted it at the end of May to the Forester, stating that they would remove all the trees on the site. r Mr. DeMarco spoke about the hours of operation and whether there would be a time certain when the children would be brought back into the building. The Board Attorney swore in one of the project's owners, Michelle Francis, 1170 N.W. 8th Court, Boynton Beach, who said that the playground hours wOuld be from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. until 5:30 p.m., when the children would be brought indoors. This satisfied Mr. Kuehn's concerns. 10 Meeting Minutes Comm unity Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 Mr. Fenton asked Ms. Francis if they would object to moving the closing hour back to 8:00 p.m. instead of 8:30 p.m. Ms. Francis did not object. Motion Ms. Hoyland moved to approve the conditional use application for Lighthouse Academy subject to satisfying all conditions of approval as contained in Exhibit "C" of the Staff Report with the qualification that Condition fi4 state: Staff requires reconfiguration of the Type "A" inlet area such that it does not propose a hazard in the proposed playground area and with the following added conditions: 1) that the top of the air conditioning units and mechanical equipment must not be higher than the proposed parapet wall; 2) that the six-foot high perimeter wall on the south property line be stepped down to three feet, twenty feet in from the east property line; 3)that all parking spaces with the exception of the handicapped space and the two drop-off spaces be 9 feet by 18 feet; 4) that the drive aisle be no arger than 24 feet wide; 5) that space 14 on the proposed s te plan be eliminated; 6) that ~ dumpster enclosure be added to this oCation which meets the City requirements and has a six foot h gh stucco wal with wood gates and meta framing; 7) that the applicant consider relocating the "ship's ladder" and possibly do a scuttle hole to access the flat roof, thus contin ong the south property line; 8) that the hours of operation Monday through be 6:30 a,m. to 8:00 p.m.; that the playground hours of operation MOnday through Saturday be 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mr. Aguila sec~)nded ~e motion. Chair Finkelstein questioned addition #2 to the motion because he understood that the Code called for a six foot buffer wall between residential and commercial properties. Ms. Galav.confirmed this. Ms. Hoyland inquired whether it could be a fence and Mr. Johnson stated that it had to be a CBS wall. Ms. Hoyland asked about the site visibility triangle and Ms. Galav stated that this was at the entrance, Ms. Hoyland then amended her motion to remove condition #2. Ms. Hoyland also wanted to assure that the dumpster wall would match the proposed perimeter buffer wall, Mr. Aguila agreed with both changes to the motion. Mr. Fenton had a problem with the parking spaces, believing that some of the parking spaces should be bigger to accommodate vans, pickup trucks, and other large vehicles such as F350s, since they would have a hard time getting into 9 x 18 spaces. Ms. Hoyland disagreed and did not wish to amend the motion. The motion carried 6-1, Mr. Fenton dissenting. New Site Plan Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Sunbelt Hydraulics (NWSP 02-008) Joseph Houston, Kerns Construction C & C Realty Investments West Industrial Avenue, Lot 9 of Boynton Beach Industrial Park North Request new site plan approval to construct a 12,480 square foot, one-story industrial building, with related parking on a 1.44-acre parcel for a business which services truck bodies 11 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida July 9, 2002 Maxime Ducoste-Amedee gave an overview of the project. The Planning & Zoning DiviSion recommended approval of the project, subject to the Conditions of Approval in Exhibit "C." Joseph Houston of Kerns Construction, agent for the applicant, stated that the applicant did not have any problem with any of the Conditions of Approval. Mr. Aguila asked if the entrance would serve as access to other properties. Mr. Houston stated that it would. Mr. Aguila asked if construction of the access driveway would be concurrent for both properties. Stewart Cunningham, project engineer for Sunbelt Hydraulics, replied that he was not sure because the other property owner would probably not beg in construction for another month. Ms. Hoyland wanted to make sure that adequate spacing was left between the proposed Sabal palms. Mr. DeMarco asked if they would have street-level loading and was told they would. He then inquired about the height of the overhead doors and was told that they were sixteen feet high. Chairman Finkelste/n opened the Public Hearing. Since there were no people who wished to speak, the Public Hearing was closed. Motion Ms. Hoyland moved .to approve the request for site plan for Sunbelt Hydraulics, NWSP 02-008, subject to all staff comments included in Exhibit "C" of the Staff Report and that the applicant and staff work together to include a landscape maintenance agreement for the shared landscape strip along the south property line. Mr. Aguila seconded the motion that carried 7-0. VIII. New Business - None IX. Other - None X. Public Audience (held earlier) Xl.
