will be conducted on January 8, and during the third week of January, Session begins the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in March, and lasts for 60 days. Listed below are items Representative Merchant
reported on:
Telecommunications - During the last session, the local exchange industry of
telecommunication was deregulatedL That bill takes effect January 1, 1996. There will
no longer be a monopoly on the local calling service. At present, we all have
BellSouth. The bill will provide consumer choice relative to providers for the local
exchange. This will ultimately provide better prices because of competition, and
should provide bundle services such as local exchange, long distance, and cable at a

better rate. When this ~ssue was addressed, it was realized that Florida is toe fourth
lowest in the nation in terms of owest cost for local exchange. To ensure that prices
do not increase, a ceiling was put on the rates for five years in the BellSoutk area. In
this dialing area, for the next five years, bills will never be any higher than they were
as of July 1, 1995.
in response to Comm ~ssiooer Jaskiewicz' question Representative Merchant advised that the 25¢ flat
rate will not be affected since that was a dec~sion which was made by the Public Service Commission.
Block Grant- It is anticipated that if the Federa~ government passes Block Grant in toe
appropriations bill. the Florida Legislature will address the issue. The most prevailing
issue is that there may be a special session prior to March if this is passed. She urged
the Commission Eo watch news reports on this Issue, and bring questions to her
attention.
The State's role in this ~ssue will De to take ti~e Block Grant dollars and decide how to
distribute them throughout the counties. The message Reomsentative Merchant has
received so far is that in order to be fair. them must be flexibility. A number of groups
are already looking into this issue and will be offering recommendations to the local
delegation. Call Representative Merchant for additional information and to offer ideas.
Econom c Development Representative Merchant serves on the Commerce
Committee. Meetings have been heJd throughout the State to talk to the business
community about the Pest policy for economic development in Florida to maintain ~ne
]ob base and to expand it with desirable iobs. Representative Merchant has concluded
that Florida is going in many different directions w~thout a "big picture" plan. She will
De working to develop a m~ssion statement. Everything will be reviewed. The feeling
in the Dus~r ess community is that bus~r ess ~s being overtaxed, overregulated, and an
undereaucated WOrK force is being sent into toe business community. She feels
accountability is required.
Banking Issue - There is a banking issue which will surface this year. The Federal
government passed a bill known as the Regal Neal Act which allows for interstate
banking and interstate branching, it also sets concentration limits for banks. Barnett
Bank has the most deposits in Florida. They have approximately 19 percent of the
State's deposits. This Act calls for no greater than 30 percent concentration. The
Florida Legislature can lower that concentration level. In addition, anti-competition
language will be reviewed.
]UA - A commission consisting of university presidents has been set up to provide
recommendations on this issue. Please provide suggestions to Representative
Merchant's office.
Water Policy - The water policy will be reviewed to determine how the different bodies
of fresh water, the Canal system, South Florida Water Management District, and other
3

Calendar. Commerce, Banking Subcommittee, Transportation, and she is Vice Chair of Utilities and
Telecom munications. She urged the Commission to contact her with any ideas or suggestions. Her

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 19, 1995
Attorney Cherof advised that the following proceedings are quasi-judicial items. Therefore. he
administered the oath to all WhO would be offering testimony.
RichardJzlarris. attorazey for the applicant, said this is a request for the abandonment of the portior
of the right-of-way which runs from High Ridge Road to the CS right-of-way on the east, There are
three strips of land involved which include a 25' strip dedicated by private deed to the City, a 54' in
width parcel which runs tne entire length from High Ridge Road to the CSX right-of-way, and another
parcel which is 54' in width.
Mr. Harris reported that one of th e things he learned during his investigation of this matter is that the
CSX is owned by FDOT. There is a recorded deed of over 300 pages in the records of Palm Beach
County. FDOT now operates the railroad.
Staff expressed concern a0out whether or not a flyover of the CSX right-of-way and 1-95 at Miner Road
is planned for the future. The applicant was charged with the responsibility of determining if this is a
possibility. In discussions with FDOT, Mr. Harris was unable to get a definitive answer in this regard.
They nave indicated that a flyover is not an their five-year p~an, nor are funds allocated for it. Mr.
Harris does not feel this is a weignty matter. He nas been gwen unofficial cost estimates in the
neighborhood of $24 million to construct a flyover. After clocking the distance, Mr. Harris does not
believe the FDOT wil construct a flyover in an area which is exactly one-half mile from the flyover at
Gateway Boulevard. In addition, the necessary right-of-way does not exist. Therefore, condemnation
would have to occur, In addition, the flyover would have to be ~levated starting near High Ridge
Road. This would cause problems for residents who abut that property.
Additionally, concern was expressed over the fact that FDOT, as the owner of the parcel, requires the
right-of-way for access to its parcel [n this situation aisc Mr. Harris has been unable to get a definitive
answer from FDOT. However. it is certain that they do not depend on this right-of-way for access to
the parcel. [n his opinion, this question apes not require an answer.
One of the staff comments requires the applicant to make application for tne abandonment of the ~4'
strip dedicated by the plat of Boynton Beach Distribution Center to Palm Beach County. From a legal
standpoint. Mr. Harris does not think it is necessary to nave them pass on an abandonment because
it ig not within the County roadway system. Florida Statute Section 334.03 provides the Counties with
authority to abandon rights-of-way that are oart of the County roadway system. The County roadway
system includes roads that are within the unincorporated areas of the County or are arterial collectors
in the unincorporated areas of the County that extend into incorporated area. This parcel does n at
qualify in that category. A suggestion was made by Ms. Heyden that discussions be h dd with the
CoOnty Attorney for a determination on this matter. Mr. Harris advised that they said it was up to us
to determine wnether or not it was necessary to seek an abandonment from them. If the City acts on
this, request, a detent ination needs to be made whether or not the rights of the public have peen
abs. ndoned by that action, or wnemer subsequent action would be required by Palm Beach County To
abahdon. In his opinion, suosequent action by Palm Beach County is not necessary because that is a
decision the City is entitled to make.

MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 19, 1995
Staff furtner expressea concern about tne t~vo parcels being landlocked. He provided documentation
to staff which showed the easements that were reserved and established. Each of the parcels would
never depend upon Miner Roac', as dedicatea for access. They are not landlocked. Mr. Harris knows
that each of the owners is in favor of abandoning the Miner Road right-of-way, and access can be
confirmed in an easement agreement. He is certai~ Waste Managementwill agree with this. The three
owners WhO favor the abandonment, believe they nave perpetual access out to High Ridge Road
through Industrial Way.
Mr. Harris does not believe there is much reason not To grant this abandonment request. He urged
consideration Dy the Commission.
Ms. Heyden advised that the Planning and Development Board recommends approva~ of the request
subject to six conditions which were highlighted by Mr. Harris. There nave been modifications since
that meeting. The modifications are as follows:
Comment #6
Written acceptance from Palm Beach County Traffic Division
regarding the abandonment request.
Staff received a letter from Palm Beach County which indicates that ti~e applicant must go through the
County process.
Comment #5
Written documentation, acceptable to the City, that verifies that the
Rollyson, FDOT and Florentine Marble parcels that abut the portion
of Miner Road to be abandoned, have an alternate, perpetual means
of access. The following concerns have been identified thus far
within the materials submitted in an attempt to address this issue:
Deed from Rollyson to Florentine Marble is missing conveyance
reference for dedication of a 30 foot wide ingress/egress easement.
There is question as to whether Rollyson's sale to Waste Management
included Rollyson's own 30 foot ingress/egress easement; therefore,
Rollyson may not have access any longer. A separate easement
should have been rededicated by Waste Management for both
I~ollyson and Florentine to use.
Ms. Heyden advised that Mr. Harris is correct, and staff has agreed to delete the verification of access
for FDOT. However, staff still feels that Rollyson and Florentine Marble need a new dedicated access
easement. Mr. Harris is agreeable since both parties are in favor of the abandonment.
Comment #4
Submittal of a survey showing proposed dedication of utility
easements to satisfy FPL and the City Utility Department conditions.
Ms. Heyden advised that as a condition to the approval by FPL and the City Utility Department, a new
utility easement needs to be superimposed to the abandoned right-of-way.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 19, 1995
Comment #3
The applicant shall show compliance with any forthcoming conditions
of abandonment required by Florida Gas.
This comment still applies since staff nas not yet heard from Florida Gas.
Comment #2
Written documentation from FDOT and the CSX Railroad tha!
indicates they would not permit a "flyover'~ to be constructed over
their rights-of-way.
Ms. Heyoen said she has not received written verification from the Fire Department retracting earlier
concerns: therefore, the comment was carried over.
Comment #1
Written verification that Palm Beach County has accepted an
abandonment application to abandon the portion of Miner Road that
is dedicated to Palm Beach County.
This is a reiteration of Comment #6.
Mayor Taylor confirmed with Ms. Heyden that Corn ~nencs #1 and #6 tie together; Comment #3
requires verification, #4 requires submittal of the dedication of utility easements; and #5 is okay with
me deletion of FDOT. Ms. Heyden advised that the City needs a new easement veriiying Rollyson and
Florentine Marble access. Comment #2 is the ~ssue of the flyover.
City Manager Parker advised that Chief Jordan deleted the item related to the flyover. Chief Jordan
stated that this issue was deleted some time ago.
Commissioner_laskiewicz referred to Comment #3 an(~ remarks related to tl~e fact that when the first
letters were sent out, Florida Gas responded affirmatively; however in this instance, tt~ey have still not
responded. Ms. H eyden said their first response was on the abandonment which nas been deleted
from the agenda. That was for one-third of the entire area to De abandoned. They have not responded
with regard to t[~ e other parcels.
MAYOR TAYLOR ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS NO ONE PRESENT WHO
WISHED TO SPEAK ON TH IS APPLICATION.
Commissioner Rosen questioned whether or not the City might have legal liability if the request is
grantecl and then FDOT decides co construct a flyover m the future. Attorney Cherof responded
negatively. Mayor Taylor pointed out that staff has deleted that comment.
Mayor Taylor clarified that the City is still waiting for compliance with Comments #l, #3, #4. parts of
#5. and #6. Planning and Zoning recommends approval if the conditions are met, but Mayor Taylor
q ~estioned how me Commission could approve this request without all documentation in place.
City Manager Parker said the City will not process the final abandonment paperwork until a]
conditions have been met. Attorney Cherof added that the documen~ which the City will prepare will

not be recorded or provided to the applicant until the conditions are met. Approval on that basis will
eliminate the neea for the applicant to come back before the Commission.
MotioJ~
Commissioner Jaskiewicz moved to approve the abandonment of Miner Road subject to the conditions
being rectified .~rior to the Resolution being prepared. Commissioner Rosen seconded the motion.
Mayor Pro Tern Matson asked Commissioners Jaskiewicz and Rosen if they would agree to delete
Condition #2. Both were agreeable.
The motion carried 4-0.
Mr. Harris confirmed with Mayor Taylor that he must comply with Comments #1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. With
reference to Comment #5, the City is only concerned about Waste Management, Florentine Marble and
Rollyson.
Attorney Cherof reminded everyone that all paperwork in the agenda package is part of the public
record. Exhibit "F" is a list of the administrative conditions. This is a new form prepared by Ms.
Heyden and Mr. Hukill which will attempt to simplify the Commission's review. When the
development order is prepared, the document can be used as a check off to show "included" or
"rejected", and it will expedite the preparation of the development order.

include Lots 7 and B on the east side of NW 7th Court. They will also be rezoned so tl~at they are
consistent with the overall PUD master plan.
Mr. Hearing advised that the Land Development Regulations require that seven criteria be evaluated
['or approval of an amendment, or rezoning of the Comprehensive Plan. The seven criteria are outlined
on Pages 4 through 7 of the staff report ~Planning & Zoning Department Memorandum No. 95-692L
Staff finds that each of the criteria have been met and the proposal is consistent with the criteria and
land use plan. A variance component involving access drives is included and will be discussed
following review oft[~ is request. Mr. Ehler has ~)een in contact with the neighbors and all surrounding
properties in an effort to be a good neighbor. The applicant is unaware of any opposition.
Ms. Heyden explained that this request involves two issues - a land use and a rezoning. Lots 7 and
8 will be added. These lots were orought into the use to provide access to the PUD. They will be
added to the PUD and rezoned to PUD. The land use ~tays the same. but the density increases. With
the addition of Lots 7 and 8, the entire PUD is increasing by only 1.59 acres. This application is
coJ~sidered a large-scale land use amendment, and as such. must be reviewed and approved by the
De~)arrment of Community Affairs.
Staff recommends approval subject to the staff comments in Exhibit "F". In addition, the Planning anc~
Development Board also recom mends approval.
MAYOR TAYLOR ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS NO ONE PRESENT WHO
WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS REQUEST.
M~(yor Pro Tern Matson said this property was useless for a v(~ry long time. About four years ago, Mr.
Ehl~er worked long and hard with Scott Miller and herself to turn this property into a burgeoning senior
cer~ter. They have done an exceptional job, and they are very visible in the community. They have
been very good neighbors. She was extremely pleased to approve this project.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map from Low
Density Residential to High Density Residential for a 23 acre existing planned unit development (PUD),
and a 1.59-acre tract at Newport Place, southwest corner of Hypoluxo Road and NW 7th Court, and
to rezone the 1.59-acre tract from R-1-AAB (single-family residential) and the PUD to Planned Unit
DeVelopment (PUD w/LUI: 5) to add a 120-bed assisted living facility, including comments in Exhibit
"F". Commissioner Jaskiewicz seconded the motion.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz commended Ms. Heyden for the thorough and Comprehensive investigation
she provided with regard to this request. Any questions or concerns she might have had were
addressed before she could think of them. The back-up material was excellent.

PARKING LOT VARIANCE - Request for relief from the City of
Boynto~ Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 -
Parking Lots, Article II. Section H.7 "Number of Driveways" to
allow two ~2) additional driveways onto Northwest 7th Court.
]E)ona[d~learing~ representing Newport place, advised that this is a compan ion to the previous request.
The City Land Development Regulations within PUDs limit the number of access points that can be
provided to two 2). At the present time, two access points exist on the easterly portion of the Newport
Place master plan. The applicant is proposing that two additional access points be provided from NW
7th Court. Staff is recommending approval of only one additional access and has expressed concern
aoout the second access which would be located in front of the facility.
At the Planning and Development Board meeting, discussion took place regarding approval of[ne t~vo
access points. It is possible to make the project work with only one additional access: however, the
applicant feels circulation would improve with tne addition of the two accesses. Staff nas
recommended a~proval of only one additional access which will provide access to the rear of the
facility where most of the services take place. The applicant would like to have the two access points
in order to segregate the vehicular traffic associated with the customers from the traffic associated witk
services. Mr. Hearing requested the Comm ssion's consi(~eration of approval of tile two access
driveways.
Ms. Heyden advised that staff is recommending approval of the southernmost driveway, not the center
drive which is located in front of the building. The reasons for this decision involve the fact that the
R-l-AA property in close proximity to this project is undevelope~ at me present time. Staff nas no way
of knowing how this ~)roperty will be developed. If it becomes a subdivision there will be multiple
access points. Staff feels il is i~ the City's best interest to limit as many additional access points onto
NW 7th Court as possible at this time.
In response to Mayor aylor s quest on, Ms. Heyden advised that NW 7th Court presently dead-ends:
however, the possibility exists that it could extend through to Miner Road and have multiple street
connections to serve the undeveloped property.
Mayor Taylor questioned how the second access drive would affect the property to the south. Ms.
Heyden explained that the reason for the requirement in the Code is to limit access points so as not to
negatively impact the traffic on the road. Attempts are made to channel traffic to the access points so
that backlogs of traffic are on site, not on the road system.

depicted on the mao does not exist. The roadway ends at the end of the Newport Place owned
property, and there is a lift station and a small fence in the location of the dead end In looking at the
size of the residential lots on High Ridge Road. Mr. Ehler pointed out that there are approximately six
lots. a a normal subdivision s~tuation, if NW 7th Court were to be the road to serve the subdivision,
there would be 12 curd cuts (six on each side of the roa~ Because the applicant owns a 50' buffer
strip on the east side of the road, there am no curb cuts and the applicant has provided a highly
vegetated buffer between the project and the homes on High Ridge Road. On the west side of NW
7th Court, them are only two curb cuts. With the two additional access drives requested, there would
be a total of only four curb cuts comparea to cot ceivably having 12 curb cuts. Newport Place is the
only project located or this section. This tract of rand is approximately 600' long, and has only two
curb cuts. E~y adding the additional two entrances, ti~e properties can be segregated.
Atthe TRC meeting, only one staff department expressed concern, and that opimon was that ti' e project
could be accomplished with only one access. The Planning and Development Board unammously
approved the request with t~vo curb cuts.
Ms. Heyden referred back to the map and oointed out that the undeveloped property could
conceivably be developed with 90 to 100 units.
Comm ~ssioner Rosen felt a sufficient case naa been made for one additior al entrance.
C0mm~ssioner Jaskiewicz questioned whether me center entrance would present a hazara with
emergency vehicles entering the project. Mr. Hearing used the map to snow the entrances requestec
Ode entrance would be designated for the residence area, and the back entrance would be designated
for~services. The applicant feels that if only one access point is approved, the center access would be
th~ preferable choice. He further requested that if only one access point is approveQ, the Commission
corasider al owing an "egress only" in rne southernmost location. This woul~ permit the serwce
vel~icles to service the site a~d t~en leave the projecL Mr. Ehler added that one of ti~e curb cuts
currently being counted i "
. s an egress only".
Ma~or Pro Tern Matson read from the Planning and Development Board meeting minutes of December
12,11995, where it mentions the applicant's desire to use the driveway that staff wishes to eliminate as
thei main entrance drive directly in front of the building. It points out that the entrance will be well
maiked and maintained. It further states that because of the age of the clientele, there is greater need
f
or ~mergency serv ce vehicles. Therefore, they would like to eliminate the possibility of "fighting"
witt~ service vehicles when emergency vehicles are required. Mayor Pro Tern Matson feels that since
the ~pplicant s requesting the two access points to provide a means of increased traffic circulation, she
doe~ not see the reason for arb trarily saying no. She feels the applicant_ has the right to develop the
property as requested, and sees no impact due to the fact that the road dead-ends. She would support
the ~'equest with the two additional driveways.
Co~ missioner Jaskiewicz said the Commission must also be concerned with the precedent which will
be sj~t in this case. She will agree to the second driveway being "egress only".

Commissioner Rosen 'nquired about the distance between the ingresses and egresses. Mr. Hearing
explained that the proposed egress would be 250' from tl~e entrance. The entrance ro the new location
is approximately 160' from the existing location then 300', 200' and 200'. Commissioner Rosen feels
there are quite a few entrances and egresses based on the possible traffic flow in tk e future. There wil
be traffic interruption based on the number.
After some explanation from the applicaBt with respect to now the service vehicles would circulate
through the site, Mayor Taylor was uncomfortable having trash trucks pulling up to the front door. He
would not nave a problem with the southernmost drive being approved as an "egress only".
Commissioner Rosen moved co approve a request for relief from the City of Boyn~on Beach Land

SITE PLAN MODIFICATION Request to amend the

Joe Har~l]e_y_of Crav~LT~om.gson_& A~o_c]ates. rel~r~ented Wage Management; requested
combining the use approval and Mr. Harris' additional easement abandonment since they are tied
together.
Mr. Handley advised that the existing Waste Management facility is located south of the Miner Road
abanaonment. The applicant would like to modify the site plan to ir dude property within the H~gh
Ridge PID. The property will be utilized for me same use which is currently on Waste Management's
property. The use is truck storage and solid waste container storage. The applicant has concerns about
two of the staff comments and agrees with al other staff conditions.
Comment #8 - The requirement to replat was never brought up. Mr. Handley received
treat comment the day of the Planning and Development Board meeting as a new
comment. Both parcels were recently platted and the property in between is being
vacated.
Comment #27 - Mr. Handley advised that this was a new comment in the staff report
on the day of the Planning and Development Board meeting.
When Waste Management considered purchasing the property, Mr. Handley contacted staff to see what
was necessary to allow the property to be incorporated into the Waste Management property. He was
told a use approval was necessary to allow the use in a PID along with site plan and some right-of-way
vacations, etc. They have gone through the process. The Planning and Development Board approved
the use, and the next item was the site plan in which a comment exists requiring rezoning of the
property. He expressed concern about rezoning this property.

This issue was never brought up and it does have consequences to the owner of the surrounding
property. He would have to dedicate a 25' greenbelt around the propertyto buffer his PID to the M-1
zoning. The Waste Management facility is an accepted use in the M-1 zoning district. If use approval
is granted, this use will be an approved use within the PID district, and the applicant does not see any
reason for having [o go mrougn a rezoning. The applicant objected to this comment, and the Planning
and Develooment Board agreed with the applicant and voted to reject that staff comment.
Ms. Heyder said that she discussed Comment #8 with the City Engineer who has taken a slightly
differen~ position. He is now highly recommendingreplattingofthe additional Iotsas well as the areas
to be abandoned. He also recommends that platting not be a condition of the applicant getting the
building permit: nowever, it should ~e a condition of them getting their Certificate of Completion.
With regard to Comment #27 (rezoning), Ms. Heyden learned that this item was not discussed early
in the process. When it was added to the second run of comments, the use approval had already been
submitted. In the event all of the comments were not adopted by the Commission, staff included the
condition The Zon lng Code states that zoning lines must follow lot lines. When the two properties
are being developed and the expansion occurs, we require unity of title. The lot line, which is
currently the zoning line, will disappear. That is the basis for the comment.
Ms. Heyden reminded the Commission of the similar circumstances that existed with the Gentleman
Jim's property. In that case, they were required to rezone from C-3 to R-3 even though condos are
allowed in C-3.
MAYOR TAYLOR ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS NO ONE PRESENT WHO
WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS APPLICATION.
RJck3d~rr'Ls~attorne~y_for the ap.ulicaQb advised that he had not seen the provision in the Code that was
referred to by Ms. Heyden. He does not feel the lot lines disappear because a unity of title is filed. He
nas no objection to filing the unity of title, but does not believe that will make this property one lot.
Replatting removes ti~e lot lines. In his opinion, replatting is not necessary.
Attorney Cherof remarked that he was not certain of the analysis used by Mr. Hukil[ to reach his
clarification. Attorney Cherof sees that clarification as a recommendation, and not a requirement;
therefore, the recommendation is based on an interpretation of the Code.
Lee_Wische~13])2~W 1~ advised that at the Planning and Development Board meeting, when
this issue arose, board memberJim Golden, who used to be in our Planning Department, brought up
the fact that in his opinion, this did not have to be replatted or rezoned. He is an expert in the field.
At the Mayor's request, Attorney Cherof tied together this item and Item F under Public Hearings. He
explained that if the Commission approves the site plan modification with the conditions, the issue of
the greenbelt disappears to the extent that it is not necessary for the applicant to go back to the Board
of Adjustment for a variance. The provision of the Land Development Regulations that deals with the
greenbelt provides that "...when the project area is enclosed on all sides...". Attorney Cherof construed
19
MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 19, 1995
that this will be a unified project. The applicant would not have co go to the Board of Adjustment. but
would have to pursue the condition of rezonmg.
Mr. Handley reiterated that the rezomng was a recommendation of the City Engineer. He does not see
a benefit to the City by forcing Waste Management to go through the replatting [~rocess on ~o~s that
have recently been platted. He does not see the need for replatting and rezoning, and pointed out that
they applied for use approval to allow the use in a PID. One property is Planned Industrial and the
other property is Light Industrial. This will be used for ight industrial.
Ms. Heyden advised that there is a provision m ~he Code which states that if a property is divided or
subdivided more than four times, the replatting process is automatically triggered. A property search
has not yet been done on this project.
Mr. Handley said the applicant went to me Board of Adjustment last night, but they failed to meet due
to lack ora quorum The applicant would be happy to go back to them to seek a variance to eliminate
the 25' greenbelt requirement between the proposed contiguous use.
Mayor Taylor clarified his unaerstanding of the situation If the Commission goes along with the
applicant, they would nave to eliminate all comments with the exception of items #8 and #27, relative
to tlae site plan modification Staff wants Comments #8 and #27 included. Therefore. if the
Commission decides to go along with the applicant's request, the Board of Adjustment variance would
ae eliminated.
Mayor Pro Tern Matson suggested eliminating Comments #8 and #27 based or the fact that the
applicant received them on the night of the Planning and Development Board meeting.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz read from the Planning and Development Board meeting minutes wherein
it states 10 of the 20 lots abut the residential zoning. Concern has been expressed that odors can be
detected. Mr. Handley advised that this was part of the use approval item. He addressed this issue at
the Planning and Development Board meeting. The applicant disagreed with staff's comments that
there would be an odor from this use which would affect adjacent properties. The empty containers
are brought into the building; cleaned out; sanitized, and then stored in the field. There is no odor
prqblem at this location or in the surrounding areas. The applicant objected to this comment at the
Planning and Development Board meeting.
Ms: Heyden advised that if the Commission approves this site plan modification subject to Comment
#27, the Board of Adjustment variance and the use approval are eliminated. Ms. Heyden advised that
approval of the use would permit this use on all 20 lots in the PID: If this property were rezoned, it
would only allow the use on this one lot which would automatically be 300' from the residences to
the north.
Mayor Pro Tern Matson reported that friends of hers live two lots away from the horse ranch across
from Waste Management. She questioned them about whether or not they have detected an odor
problem in their area, and their response was "absolutely not".

VII. PUBLIC AUDIENCE:
As Mr. Stein approacnea the podium. Mayor Taylor announced that since this will oe Mr. Stein's last
appearance before the Commission he would allow him a few additional minutes to speak.
HarJ~y3~ein. ~(~lLEast O_cean~azeuu~ appeared on behalf of Coastal Towers. individually, and as
a citizen of Boynton Beach. He rem inded the Commissioners that ne nas appeared and spoken at
every Commission meeting except one since July 27, 1995. on the issue of the proposea construction
of a 21 ' elevated briage on Ocean Avenue. The date of July 27, 1995 is significant ~ecause shortly
before that. Mr. Stein ~earned that Ann Ford was res~gmng. Her contract ran from 1993, aha had a
possible term of well over one year. In his opinion, she was unqualified for the position, and
unqualified to make recommenaations which would seriously ~mpact Coastal Towers. Mr. Stein feels
that She was the chief architect and proponent of the elevated bridge concept. The Executive Director
of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council who was. 'n large measure, part of the
recommendation made, resigned in October. 1994, jusr a few days before the City Commission. for
the first time in a~most 20 years, changed its recommendation to make Ocean Avenue the proposed
location for the bridge. Mr. Stein read from the City Commission meeting minutes of January 9, 1995.
wherein he stated that ~ne residents of Coastal Towers were in favor of the redevelopment. However.
.they felt the marina aortion of the plan could be completed without the bridge as a focal point. Those
minutes also reflecteci/he concerns of the residents relative to decreasing property values, noise, etc.,
as a result of the bridge construction. At that time, Mr. Steir urgee the Commission to take no action
for approval of the plan specifically as it related to the bridge.
22
MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 19, 1995
At the July 27, 1995 meeting, Mr. Stein stated that the bridge relocation question and its resolution
could not affect him personally; however, this is a matter of principle. Mr. Stein is moving out of
Coastal Towers a~ the meginnmg of January. He left the following documents with the Commission:
1. A transcript of his presentation before the Commission on Ju y 27, 1995;
a copy of a resolution adopted by the City of Delray Beach on November 21, 1995;
and
3. a copy of a resolution by the City of Boca Raton adopted November 28, 1995.
Mr. Stein read from tne resolutions adopted by both cities wherein they promote the maintenance and
repair of the existing bridges spanning the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach County, and urge
withholding of federal funds allocated toward subsidizing or financing Ene reconstruction of the Ocean
Avenue Bridge until the FDOT nas provided plans which reflect clearances and dimensions acceptable
to the business community aha resiclential neighborhoods.
Mr. Stein stated that the disadvantages of an elqvated bridge greatly outweigh any advantages. He feels
there will be a drastic reduction in the value of Coastal Towers. Ocean Ridge will become a ghost
town when the State takes e~gnt beautiful homes which currently exist. In addition, this will destroy
the "Boynton Fleet". In Mr. Stein s opinion, an entertainment center in the downtown will bring
prostitution and ot[~ er criminal behavior into the area.
Mr. Stein recommended that the Commission go back to the drawing boards and come up with a new
redevelopment plan that is good for everyone in the City. The present redevelopment plan is seriously
flawed. He thanked the Commissioners for listening to him; and to Mayor Taylor for practicing what
he preaches.
With regard to the two resolutions discussed by Mr. Stein, Mayor Pro Tern Matson said she was
incensed when Mayor Lynch brought this issue up at the Municipal League meeting. This is a very
divisiVe issue and the Municipal League was not the place for it. She suggested that if other
municipalities want to pass a resolution, they should do so, but they should leave the Boynton Beach
bridge out of the issue. She suggested that we reinforce to the Municipal League that issues of this
nature should not be discussed during those meetings.
City Manager Parker advised that Chris O'Hare, Chairman of the Ocean Ridge Bridge Committee, has
been leading a charge to see if DOT, FIND, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Coast Guard would
lower the bridge. Everyone has said that conceptually they agree, but they are not willing to delay the
bridge. This Fs also the City's position. Recently, it came to light that the Donald Ross Road and
Indiantown Road bridges were approved at 90' span rather than the 125', and there was an agreement
which was on the County agenda and pulled, that would set the new standard in the County at 125'.
Delray Beach and Boca Raton expressed concem relative to future rehabilitation of their bridges. It
might have been their impression from Mr. O'Hare that Boynton's position was similar. That situation
has been clarified so that we will support the efforts on behalf of Delray Beach and Boca Raton to work
with whatever agency necessary to get the best standard in the County. However, since our bridge is

DECEMBER 19, 1995
the first under this new s~andard, we do not want to fight and delay the bridge construction. We want
to move forward at the 125' span.
Mayor Taylor pointed out that the neeas of tl~e municipality need to be considered rati~er than just
setting a standard. However, Delray Beach and Boca Raton should nave asked us about our feelings
on ti~e ~ssue prior to tackling this issue in this manner. City Manager Parker pointed out ti~at they were
trying to be helpful to us~ and assumed our position was t~e same as theirs.

Ms. Eustace felt the issue of the water line had been reso~ved. However. she statec~ that Papa John's
will bring water to the site and extend the line as needed to service the site.
With regard to the DOT drainage certification, site ighting plan, an(] win(~ oad for the pole sign, the
applicant has no objections or problems with the comment.
There is a comment from the Building Official with regard to the need for two restrooms. In his
opinion, this would require an addition to the building. Ms. Eustace had not had an opportunity to
spear with the Building Official. but advisea tnat ~ provision exists in the Southern Building Code
under the minimum fixture requirements footnotes that allows for one unisex restroom for retail under
1.500 square feet and for restaurants under 500 square feet. Papa John's had gotten a letter from SPC
in the past which indicates that because there is no on-premise consun" ption of food, this could be
classified as a retail establisnment. Ms. Eustace hopes this issue will oe solvable in that manner with
the Building Official
The comment relative to the color of the ouffer and retention walls is no problem, and the cross-access
prior to building permits is not objectionable.
Ms; Eustace requested clarification of the comment relative to Wendy's west prooerty line.
With regard to the awnings, the green awnings have been minimized and will be back lighted. The
exterior building materials on the outside of the cooler will match the build r g.
Ms; Heyden reported that the most important comment is the Public Works Department concern about
access to the dun" pster. Ms. Eustace su~)mitted a letter fron" Wendy's International who indicated
agreement w th the site pran that proposes a joint access. It read as follows:
"Dear Mayor Taylor: I am an authorized representative for Wendy's International
which leases and operates the Wendy's on Boynton Beach Boulevard. I have reviewed
the site plan for Papa John's, last revised November 28. 1995. That site plan proposea
a point of ,oint access. Please be advisee that the joint access is conceptually
acceptable to Wendy's subject to finalization of an acceptable formal agreement with
Papa John's. Wendy's would have no objection to approval of the PapaJohn's site plan
subject to delivery of the formal agreement for the access point within 30 days.'

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 19, 1995
This [e~er was signed by Dennis B. Buchwalter. Director of Real Estate for Wenay's International and
dated December 19, 1995.
Public Works nas taker its vehicles to the site. Although W '
endy s has consented to Papa John's using
their property to access the (]umps~er, because of t[~ e location of the stackin~g, menu board and the
turning radius, the trucks cannot make me turn. In addition, because of the joint access contingency,
Wendy's customers could use the area to travel back and forth This has a~so created a conflicting
traffic situation.
Ms. Heyden advised that the Building Department comments can be worked out. as well as the
comment relative to the water line. The color of the building appears to be a gray tone, while staff is
looking for a color which is closer to beige. Staff is not satisfied with the elevations.
MAYOR TAYLOR ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS NO ONE PRESENT WHO
WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS APPLICATION
Ms. Eustace reiterated that the turning radius they show indicates th s problem is solvable. She realizes
that it would be difficult to service the site at peak hours. In addition she aoes not feel the utilization
of the corner of the drive-through lane would create undue delays. Ms. Eustace recommended that the
Commission approve this application on a contingency basis which wob d allow the applicant to try
~o work the site. If it does not work out, and Public Works cannot service the site, the applicant would
nave no problem having a private pickup. Papa John's is anxious to get this project underway. They
nave been working with staff to solve the problems. She requested the Commission's support.
In ~esponse to Commissioner Rosen's question, Ms. Eustace said a private .sanitation company would
use ti~e same route that Public Works ~vould use when servicing the site: however, they would pick
up at off-peak hours.
City Manager Parker advised that a ~rivate company would utilize the same s~ze truck. Public Works
would normally schedule early pickup. The applicant has not ShOWn tl~e City the traffic fl Dw. Since
there would be a joint agreement bet~veen Wendy's and Papa John's, it would no ~onger be a one-way
flow from Papa John's into the Wendy's site. Wendy's traffic will circulate or' me Papa john's site. and
vice versa. No traffic diagrams have been submitted. There are four lanes of traffic coming into one
point which is a turn-off point on Boynton Beach Boulevard. This concerns staff. It appears this will
be a major safety problem during peak times. City Manager Parker q aestioned wh e~ner or n at a cost
estimate has been prepared for ti~ e 10" water main. Ms. Eustace responded negatively, but said she
will research k. If the cost of this installation is too hign, it will stop the project. However. she would
like:to proceea with the intention of bearing the cost. Where the cross-access goes across the property
line is a major point of contention. Papa John's will provide traffic control at that intersection. With
regard to the NW 7th Cour~ entrance into Papa John's. Ms. Eustace aoes not feel this wil ~e used as
an entrance intoWendy's s~te.' However, she would not have a problem posting signs to direct traffic.
and she believes this situation is controllable.
Mayor Taylor ouestioned whemer or not a vehicle :ould cross [3oynton Beach Boulevara and head left
;~ it Was coming out of NW 7th. Ms. Eustace advisea that a right turn is required before being able to

make a U-turn. City Manager Parker advised that the City is in the process of changing the curb cut
with DOTto line it up with NW 7th.
Mayor Taylor feels this is a traffic disaster waiting to happen. He has problems with the entrances. In
addition there are only six parking spaces, one of which is a handicap space. The drivers have to back
up to get out of the site. Traffic is coming in every direction. While he wants to nave Papa John's ir
this City, and he commended the applicant for the work thal nas peen done, he feels this s an
unworkable situation. He suggested finding a ~arger location in the City.
Commissioner Rosen realizes that a great deal of money and effort has been put into this project.
However. from the beginning, t~ere were so many doubts about this operation on this particular si~e.
Mayor Taylor asked what would happen if Wendy's goes out of business, and the new operator does
not agree with the cross-access agreement? Attorney Cherof advised that cross-access agreements must
be perpetual, be recorded, nave a reference to the City being a party to any proceeding to release it,
and that the use that is based b:)on the cross-access agreement must cease and desist if and when the
cross-access agreement :s dissolved. At this point, the only thing we have from Wendy's is a letter
which states that tl~e concept is acceptable, but we do not have the agreement which contains the
terms and conditions.
~en, c~nsel_for PapaJ~hn's. said that ~ne joint access would be a covenant running with the
land.
]-im H~..~s~Director of P~eal Estale for thexzn~orati~n, advised that with regard to traffic, the majority
of'Papa John's business is done ~etween 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. The majority of the hamburger
business is done at ~unch. Papa John's opens at 11:30 a.rr , and does not generate a great deal of
daytime traffic. Papa John's drivers are in and out of the store withir~ three to five m~nutes. All of Papa
John's waste consists of ooxes and tin cans because riley do not have on-site consumption. He
suggested wnee[ing me dumpster to the location of the Wendy's dumpster in time for pickup to
eliminate the truck entering tt~e area. With respect to other loading problems, Papa John's owns its
own distribution corr g~any. The oroduct is deliverecl t~vice a week in t~e morning hours. The only
other delivery is Coke.
M~yor Taylor explained that hauling the dumpster over to Wenc~y's is not a means of solving the
problem.
Mayor Pro Terr Matson commended the applicants for their efforts, and explained that she would like
to s~ee this project in the City. However, she sees this as 10 pounas of deve~ooment on a five pound
parcel She is concereecl about traffic flow. There are a lot of problems. Although the clumpster
situation might be able to be worked out, she cannot support this project at this time. Mayor Pro Tem
Matson does not believe this item was ready to come before the City Commission at tn s time. She
wo/Jld welcome this project with radical changes.

DECEMBER 19, 1995
Bob Eichorst. Public Works Director. said the time of t~e pickup was not a cot sideration in the
decision The problem is that the truck cannot get into the site, Rolling a oumpster out to Wendy's
would not work because it is an obstacle course.
Mr. Eisen thanked the Commission for the comments. He q ~estioned wh ether or not this application
could be tabled indefinitely for the purpose of investigating it further. The company bought the site
with the belief that it could be developed. Tabling this application indefinitely would eliminate the
need for going back through the process again.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz admitted that this project seems ~mpossible on this site but she is not in favor
of an outright denial, She will support tabling this application.

Mayor ?to Tem Matson moved to table this aDDlication indefinitely. Commissioner Jaskiewicz

time specific.
Mayor Pro Tem Matson moved to table to the first meeting in March. Commissioner Jaskiewicz
seconded the motion which carried 4-0.
City Manager Parker offered to send Public Works staff out to the site with the truck so that the
applicant can see the operation.
Attorney Cherof advised that the first meeting in March will be on March 5, 1996.

Mayor Taylor announced that the Commission was very familiar with this project. Therefore, he
requested that only new information be discussed.
City Manager Parker referred to Planning and Zoning Memorandum 95-727. She advised that the
applicant is in agreement with all of the comments past Comment #4. She amended Comment #4
to read: "The entire length of Knuth Road will be treated as one project. It will be required to be
bonded as one project from Woolbright Road to Boynton Beach Boulevard. The bond will be
calculated according to our Code and the applicant will have 21 months from the date of plat approval
to finalize construction ofthe road. lfnotfinished, the City calls the bond and constructs the road. The
section from Woolbright Road to the canal must be entirely completed before issuance of the first CO
for Tara Oaks. The remainder of the road must continue to be constructed simultaneously with the
remainder of the project with the protection of the City being an outside timetable of 21 months."
Kieran Kilday said their only concern with this condition is that prior to the first CO, they must
complete the road from Woolbright Road up to the project entrance and beyond that to the canal.
Sometimes permits slow a project down, and staff has agreed to work with the applicant to keep things
moving. The applicant is concerned with the fact that there may be units ready to come on line, but
the last few hundred feet of roadway construction might be left.

1. Purple Heart Way
This item was addressed under Item III-B.7.
2. Public Transportation
Mayor Pro Tern Matson advised that she has been riding the City buses and at most, there were two
people on tne bus. She inquired as to whether or not this service can be advertised in Funfare or on
public television. The bus service is not being utilized by the citizens.
City Manager Parker advised that the new CoTran schedules are available. Once we know where the
stops are and the tir~ 9s involved, we may want to review our bus service.
Mayor Pro Tern Matson said she nas received comments from residents in Boynton Lakes and the
Meadows who have difficulty utilizing the buses because tl~ey cannot walk the distances necessary to
get them to the bus stops. She recommended that the pus routes be reviewed in an effort to make the
puses more accessible to the citizens Dy having the buses travel the loops in those communities to
eliminate having the residents walk to Congress Avenue. This is done in Leisureville and these other
communities could have the same option
Commissioner Rosen questioned how far we have gotten with the bus shelters. City Manager Parker
wasiofthe opinion that seven shelters are now in construction. Commissioner Rosen recommended
posting the pus schedules on these shelters. He also pointed out that the bus service can be publicized
in the Hunters Run newsletter.
