proposed single-family home to 35' from the maximum 25' allowed
Commissioner Jaskiewicz reported that she attended the Planning & Development Board meeting when this
issue was addressed After the meeting, she inspected the area and feels this request would be very
appropriate. This site is located on the Intracoastal where very ~arge homes already exist. She does not feel
the structure will block anyone's view. t is her opinion that the board was too stringent in requiring the
applicant to stay within the 25' limit for a luxury home and she recalled that the applicant was willing to go to
30'. It appeared to Commissioner Jaskiewicz that so'me of the exisbng homes are higher than 25'. She feels
this rec~uest should be g~ven reconsideration, and she is nopefu it will not be denied
Attorney Cherof advised that the applicant has requested a postponement of this item. He suggested this
item De tabled.

Vice Mayor Titcomb also attended the Planning & Development Board meeting. He explained that Delray
Beach is currently going through a debate about "mansionization". This s an issue the City of Boynton
Beach wfll be aealing with soon· In addition, during the Visions process, there was discussion about the
need for higher end housing in the City. Therefore. he feels further discussion Js warranted either through a
workshop or Commission discussion about this type of application. Aisc there was discussion during the
Planning & Development Board meeting about the fact that this particular request was not a hardship case
and did not necessarily fall under a variance area. Vice Mayor Titcomb is hopeful that a discussion will help
in finding a mechanism for assisting people who wish to move into the older coastal neighborhoods and
"spruce" them up.
Mayor Taylor also attended the Planning & Development Board meeting. He realizes this is an odd-shaped
lot on Intracoastal property in an area where we are Crying to develop some upscale housing. The applicant
is trying to conform w~th the setbacks_ Mayor Taylor does not have a problem with the applicant's request
and is happy the applicant asked for a postponement to try to work out this situation.

that resulted in a condition regarding height associated with the rezomng of this property. Because it was
ncorporated as a rezomng, this matter should be considered as a public hearing with appropriate notice to
adjacent proper~y owners He requested that this matter De deferred until the first meeting n October
(October 7th~.
Motion

manner. On October 1st. we will begin utilizing a software program that will be centered and located in the
Commission offices on the first floor of the West Wing. A staff assistant will act as a liaison between the
constituents and the Commissioners' offices to log complaints, assist in resolving outstanding issues of
concern to [he Commission. and scheduling meetings. This system should help maintain a higher level of

2. Schedule Workshop to Discuss Fire and EMS Services to Town of Hypoluxo

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 19, 1997
Attorney Cherof advised that City Manager Willis mentioned this issue to him today, but he did not have an
opportunity to meet with her to explore her proposal. Under our Charter. the responsibilty of providing legal
advice ~o the City Manager falls on the City Attorney or through the City Attorney's Office. In addition, the
City Attorney's Office provides the service the City Manager is seeking under contract with the City under the
current retainer. Attorney Cherof advised that it would not be oossible to address the specifics since he had
not had an opportunity to speak with the City Manager.
He reminded the Commissioners that it has been a practice in the east for the Commission to seek proposals
from oualified professionals before acting to appoint someone. He further reminded the Commissioners that
the prerogat ve of appointment falls to the Commission under the Charter ~ot the City Manager.
Attorney Cherof reques[eo that the Commission defer acbon on this request until he has an opportunity To
explore the needs of the City Managerwith her. If appropriate, his firm will provide the service. If the service
cannot be provided because of some type of conflict, then the matter should be addressed in a Request for
Proposals for service
Mayor Taylor said he understands the contract for the City Attorney's firm [o provide egal services to the
City. He is happy with the work they are doing. However. ne feels the City Manager, who will ee very
oersonally involved in these dealings, has the right to request the type of representation she feels
comfortable with We ha~/e a precedent for that in this City. Mayor Taylor knows there will be challenges to
the path the City is taking with civil service, and he wants to feel very comfortable that not only the City, but
also the employees, feellcomfortable that their legal rights are represented. The employees nee(~ to Know
that someone is watching the City to make sure we are not making a mistake that will affect them in the
future. Mayor Taylor feels Attorney Cherof has "a full plate", and he would be much more comfortable
knowing we have someone who has nothing to focus on except making sure the City does the right thing as
it moves forward on the div serv ce ssue Mayor Taylor supports the City Manager's request, and supports
her selection for representation.
Commissioner Tillman concurred with Mayor Taylor's remarks in light of the anticipated changes from civi
service to a new typeof system. He feels we need someone who has specfic labor management
experience. The City M~nager needs to have some leeway in making choices and carry ng out the day-to-
day operations.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz feels Attorney Cherof and his firm have been extremely e~cient in handling every
matter. However 'after dearing the concerns of more than 100 employees at the last meeting, she is very
concemed with making them feel comfortable. The more input that is orovided, the more comfortable the
employees will be She will only consider approving this request for the minimum amount of time that is
necessary.
Vice Mayor Titcomb agrees that objectivity would be a good thing: however, he has the following concerns:
It is key and critical that if we do retain additional legal counsel, that there
is an ability to work together with our City Attorney in a cohesive way.
2. Cos[ parameters need to be placed on this entire process so that it is not
a runaway situation financially.
Vice Mayor Titcomb was not convinced that he had all the facts and details necessary to make a decision.
While he wants to provide the City Manager with the tool she needs to solve these problems, he wants to be
certain he has all the information necessary to make the best decision.
Attorney Cherof felt it was obvious the City Manager had the opportunity to discuss ner request with severa
of the Commissioners. He had ~ot had that same opportunity He again requested that this matter De

deferred to allow nlm time to explore the type of services she is seeking, and to provide her with some
guiaance. He reminded the Commissioners that the liability is ultimately theirs.
City Manager Willis advised that Mr. Tomivia was present in the audience. She announced that she is ~n
possession of a grievance dated August 18TM that demands a reply by Thursday. She would like exoertise in
dealing with this issue, and Mr. Torcivia has that necessary expertise.
Attorney Cherof advised that the issue City Manager Willis SpoKe of is clearly covered under the Charter
responsibilities of the City Attorney except in the case of a direct conflict. There is no direct conflict in this
case. The grievance the City Manager referred to was processed by the City Attorney's Office up to this
point. The City Manager's request is extremely unusual.
Mayor Taylor said he understood Attorney Cherof's concerns but still supported the City ManageCs request.
City Manager Willis felt it was unfortunate that this was becoming a contentious issue. She needs a comfort
level that the City is proceeding in the proper manner. She said Attorney Cherof was informed earlier this
afternoon, and debated the City Manager's right to retain this legal counsel.
Glen Torcivia, attorney from West Palm Beach. has represented the Civil Service Board. Mr. Torclvia
assure(~ the Commission that he and Attorney Cherof would not have a personality conflict. They have dealt
with each other several times over the past few years. He advised that he is not familiar with the Charter in
terms of "chain of command". City Manager Willis suggested to him that although sne probably had the
authority under the Charter to retain an attorney, it would pe better to bring it [o the Commission for
discussion in the open
Mr Tomivia has had a lot of experience dealing with civil service issues. He primarily represented local
governments in labor and employment management for 15 years. He is not seeking to interfere with the City
Attorney. He would ke to work with the City Attorney in addressing concerns about the proposed change to
civil service He anticipates that the engagement would not be longer than approximately six months since
this issue will go to referendum in March.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz questioned whether Mr. Torcivia felt it would be necessary to work on this issue
until March
Mr. Torcivia said he was not sure how long this process would take. but the ballot language and Ordinance
would have to be done by March. This is the longest amounl of time the process would take. He would
antic'aate having this nformation available six or e~gnt weeks prior to the election m order to provide the
Commission time for rewew and approval. Mr. Torcivia advised that he intended to contact Attorney Cherof
and City Manager Willis tomorrow for copies of the Coral Springs Ordinance which repealed civil service. He
will begin working immediately to make suggestions as to the best way [o proceed to change the civil service
rules. He feels the work should be done in late January. He does not anticipate that this job will require
more than one day's work each week.
Mayor Taylor pointed out that Mr. Tomivia will cnarge an hourly rate. He is confident the City Manager will
come back to the Commission with a suggestion about payment not to exceed a certain amount of money.
Maurice Rosertstock, One Villa Lane, was confused and unpleasantly surprisec He explained that in the
years ne has resided in the City, one former City Manager had the practice of presenting the Commission
with information during the meeting, or on the day of the meeting, that required a vote. This did not allow [he
pup~c an opportJnity to De informed or provide input. Mr. Rosenstoc~: pointed out that we have an attorney
wno represents the City and is clearly aware of all of the civil service laws Prior to going to an outside
consultant. Mr. Rosenstock would like to learn about other consultants who are available, and whether or not
he is charging the proper amount. Civil service rules are very clear and explicit. It is a slight to the City
Attorney not to provide him with an opportunity to see what he can offer We will be spending City funds on

an outside consultant for results that we do not know will be needed At this point in time no one Knows if
this issue will pass orifail in March. Mr. Rosenstock does not see the urgency of having to vote on this issue
this evening and feels it will be a serious mistake if that vote is taken.
Mayor Taylor said heiwould prefer to spend more money up front than to pay the costs later on. He wants
the City to have the best expertise possible and to be comfortable. There is an urgency involved since a
response to a grievance is needed by Thursday. The City Manager has the right to get the very best help
and he feels strongly about supporting her request, Our City Attorney does an outstanding job, but he has a
great deal of work To,do. We need someone WhO can focus attention on this issue. Mayor Taylor said he
has investigated this issue and is basing his decision on the homework he has done.
Vice Mayor Titcomb questioned whether the Commission could consider providing approval to the
consultancy for the sihgle case until the remafnder of the issue can be studied, He suggested revisiting the
remaining consultant agreement at the next City Commission meeting
Commissioner Jaskiew~cz concurred with Vice Mayor Titcomb's recommendation to tread lightly and get
additional public ~nout. She would ike to discuss this situation with Attorney Cherof. She would like [o
discuss time 3arameters with him to accomplish this task. Commissioner Jaskiewicz would agree To support
City Manager Willis' request to hire Mr. Tercivia to represent her in the grievance matter However she
would like to revisit the remaining issue at a future meeting or workshop meeting.
Commissioner Tillman maintained his suDpor~ for the City Manager's reaues~ and feels there is an urgency
involved in dealing with this civil service issue. If changes are needed down the road. the Commission car
make the necessary adjustments Commissioner Tillman does not feel the City Managers hands should be
tied
Motion
Vice Mayor Titcomb moved to approve a provisional contract to allow the City Manager to retain this attorney
on the specific case she has referenced with the balance of the contract being brought forward to the next
Commission meeting giving everybody (the public, the City Commission and the City Attorney) ar
opportunity to get all the information ana facts before a final decision is made. This will give her the tools to
deal with the immediate case. Commissioner Tillman seconded the motion.
Attorney Cherof did not take issue with the Commission's Dower To do anything it wants to do. While the
Commission has broad powers, as a erocedura] matter, the Commission is treading into an area it should not
tread into He reminded them that this is a non-agendaed item la contract with a 3rofessional consultant) r
his opinion, it is out of order. Although the Commissioners have the right to do this they are not proceeding
in the right manner. This is a non-agenda item that is authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract
where ordinarily the Commission would enter into a contract by Resolution after consideration of an agenda
item
Commissioner Jaskiewicz questioned whether this item could be added to the agenda for the Monday night
workshop meeting. Attorney Cherof advised that notice is reduired.
th
Lee Wische, 1302 SW 18 Street, advised that this exact same type of situation occurred during a Planning
& Development Board An error was made in omitting election of chairman and vice chairmar That issue
was not on the agenaa When the chairman called for a vote. Mr. Rosenstock brought out the fact that it was
not an agendaed item and therefore we could not vote.
As Attorney Cherof advised, the item in question was not on the agenda· t was added at the last moment.
and Mr. W~sche was effended at how it was done. He feels this is a snow job. It is a slap in the face of the
City Attorney not to consult him on somethir~g of this magnitude. Mr. VVische expressea surprise at what he
was hearing this evening. He feels the City Attorney was being maae to feel like he is unqualified.

Vice Mayor Titcomb withdrew his motion,
Mayor Taylor explained that he has ~ problem leaving the City Manager out on a limb because of indecision
about legal representation. He is not concerned about personalities. His concern centers around orotecfing
the City and the management of the City. He wants to be certain that we respond correctly. He stated that
no one is casting any dispersions against Attorney Cherof However he has reasons and concerns about
the way we proceeo. If this cannot be addressed this evening because it is not on the agenoa, he requested
that the City Manager research her contract and the Charter to make sure she has the proper legal
representation so that she does not place herself in jeopardy. Mayor Taylor requested that this item be
brought back on the agenda at the earliest oossible fime.
City Manager Willis advisec that she has no personal Issue with [his, Her reply to the appeal is due on
Thursday and she has some concern about that. She will nut this item on the agenda for the Monday

representation for, the City Manager Was handled this evening. He explained that "someone" forgot that the
public has a right to know what the City is doing, When the public does not know what is on the agenda, it is
an act of omission_ He reminded the Commissioners that they must instruct the City Manager to include all
items regarding contracts or the expenditure of funds on the agenda so that the public has an opportunity to

Commissioners not to let this happen again in the future.
Mr Rosenstock referred to Consent Agenda Item "S" relative to turning over uncollectible balances for utility
ellis to a collection agency. He questioned whether the collection agency was selected by aid througn the
RFP process and inquired as to the cost of this service. He further questioned the amount of money
involved in these uncollectible utility bills.
Mayor Taylor offered to erovide the back-up matedal on this item. In addition Mayor Taylor advised that
upon his advice. City Manager Willis brought the legal representation item forward this evening,
Richard Stone, 111 SE 1st Street, is a City emp oyee. He advised that a number of. emeloyees were upset
and rtitated by the proceedings that took place at the last City Commission meebng relative to the
abolishment of Civil Service in the City of Boynton Beach. The employees felt they were not given fair
representation since they were not able to reseond after the Commissioners offered their remarks.
Mr. Stone advised that Mayor Taylor did not provide all of the information contained in the article he held up
about civil service in the State of Georgia. Mr. Stone reported that the State of Georgia employees were
grandfathered in. In addition, many risks were stated in the article, but were not referred to by the Mayor.
Referrin~c to the minutes of the meeting, Mr. Stone stated that Commissioner Jaskiewicz resented the
inference To political interference. While Mr. Stone feels confident that the Commissioners do not interfere
with City employees, he pointed out that the Civil Service Rules and Regulations forbid Commissioners from
interfering w~th employees. These are the same rules the Commission wants to abolish.
During that meeting, Commissioner Tillman s~a~ea that civil service has hurt the employees. Mr Stone
disagreec and pointed out that former City Commissions ana former City administration have not
administered civil service correctly. In addition, he said there have been elected officials who have caused
more harm to the citizens and employees than any of the Civil Service Rules and Regulations.
Mr. Stone could not understand why a memorandum has not been issued by City administration in an effort
to calm the fears of the employees. While a number of the Commissioners have expressed their desire to
look out" for the employees, he pointed out that these Commissioners will not hold seats forever and
another Commission may not be as benevolent as the present Commission.
Mr. Stone exelained that what bothers him the most about this entire situation is that the Commission wants
to abolish the Civil Service Rules and Regulations that are in the employees' best interest without knowing
what will replace those rules ana regulations. That process has just begun Today. Mr. Stone said the tone
was that the City Commission knows what is best for the employees. -{owever in his opinion the City
Commission does not know. and should not assume they know what is best for the employees. He felt there
was a slightly more understanding [one this evening, and he is hopeful that will continue.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz commended Mr. Stone on his eloquent and moving speech this evenmg. She said
sh,,e wished she could allay employee fears, and poihtffd out that Civil Service does not have to be the "end
all. There are better procedures available. She reminded Mr. Stone that we have eight months to try to get
a system in place that the employees will be familiar wilth.

The Police Department is hopeful that this program will cut report writing time in half for officers in the field

time on a radio frequency that is drastically clogged with talk and the freeing up of clerical staff inside the

Request for an administrative appeal to s~gnificantly modify the

Attorney Cherof administered the oath to all who would speak on this application
Joe Lelonek, Land Design South, introduced Mark,Weiner Amhitect for the project, and Debra Kropornicki.
an architect from GAP,
Mark Weiner advised that when this project previously came before the Commission. the elevations and site
plan were approve(] even though not all input from specific tenants was available. Since that time. Land
Design South has received a great deal more information from the tenants and the oresentation will reflect
the input from Sports Authority, Tony Roma's and Old Navy. During the Planning and Development Board
meeting, Sports Authority and Tony Roma's were approve(]. At this time only the Old Navy elevation
remains in quesbon.
Mr. Weiner circulated photos and displayed a rendering. He explained that the Old Navy stores are going
through a growth period. They now have 250 stores and p an to have a tota of 400 stores by next year. All
of the stores will have the same identity and architectural cnaracter
In response to Commissioner Jaskiewicz' question, Mr Weiner advised that Bed. Bath and Beyond and a
men's retail store will be adjacent to Old Navy.
Vice Mayor Titcomb noted that there were two versibns of Old Navy, and he questioned which version was
being proposec
Mr. Weiner advised that the applicant is preposmg the version depicted on the rendering. He reminded the
Commissioners that when the original approval v~s given the applicant was nsstent on ma ntanng
~nd~wdual ~denbty for each of the tenants. At the,b~e they proposed three pallettes of color and individual
elevations. There was also discussion abobt maint~ ming a balance among the tenants. The aDolicant feels
this has been accomplished.

Ms. Heyden pointed out that the photos they circulated indicate there will ~)e a great des of glass on this
storefront. Although this fits ~n with the remainder of the snoppmg center, it does not agree with the
previously-approved conditions. She further explained that staff's position is to try to get continuity with each
of the "suoer" stores. She feels more can be done to compromise.
Mr. Weiner exolained that the original approach, and the original approva~ was for more continuity. However
the applicant would like to give each tenant individuality. Although this procosal is different from what was
originally "eviewed. [he colors are consistent, and there is an upgraded prototype. This is important for Old
Navy.
_Maurice Rosenstock feels that if the City has Codes and wants a certain appearance that needs to be
made dear in the Codes. After e great deal o¢ discussion, the Planning and Development Board was very
explicit. He pointed out that every corporation wants its own design and logo. n his opinion, a design
should not redu~re variances. Although this Commission can overrule anything the Planning and
Development Board decides, he ouestioned whether the City of Boyn[on Beach will rule by variance and
change, or continuity and conformity.
Mr. Le onek explained that the applicant is not a~tterrtpting to get around the City's Code. He is attempt ng to
give. each tenant some identity. This proposal is an ,upgrade. The backs of the Center have a very nice look
against Old Boynton Road. and Sports Authori~ ~vill look great on Winchester Park Boulevard. Along
Congress, you will see some slight differences ~n each of the stores Old Navy has differences they want to
include. The applicant is anxious to make sure;this Center works and that it is viable. They have tried
blending Old Navy 3s much as possible.
Commissioner Jaskiew cz did not like disagreeing with staff and the Planning anct Development Board, she
explained that her background has made her fextb ~ as ong as the design does not detract from the area
She preferred th~s proposa Aver the ongina one and was n favor of the glass treatment. '
In response to Commissioner Jaskiewicz' auesti0n Mr. Leonek explained that with regard with the
comments, he agrees with the Planning and Deyel?pment Board's decision on Tony Roma's and SDor~s
Authority. The only area of disagreement was Old. N2vy.
Mayor Taylor explained that he was surprised by the~ decs on of the Planning and Development Board with

Mayor Taylor agreed with Vice Mayor Titcomb's remarks about corporate identity because that is something
that can be changed regardless of location. Mayor Taylor questioned whether anything in our Codes forbids
this facade as designed
Ms, Heyden advised that the Community Design Plan was changed so that it is more loosely written to
require compatibility so that tenants within a shopping center are to use a unifying theme. The problem the
Planning and Development Board had with this proposal related to the fact that the applicant eliminated the
Spanish tile. the layered columns and the diamonds. The new Code requires those repeating elements, and
they were eliminated,
Mayor Taylor pointed out that althougl~ those repeating elements were eliminated, the Commission feels
[here is consistency.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz questioned when the billboards would be removed from the site,
From the audience, the property owner advised that the billboard owners were notified today that they are to
'emove the billboards within 60 days from today.
Motion
Commissioner Jaskiewicz moved to approve the administrative appeal to modify the previously-approved
building elevations in the Boynton Commons PCD Center with regard to the Old Navy store. Commissioner
Tillman seconded the motion.

Dear Ms. Heyden:
This letter is written as a follow-up to our telephone
conversation yesterday with respect to the captioned matter. As I
indicated toyou, our office represented Palm Walk Associates,
Ltd., a Florida limited partnership ("Palm Walk Associates,,), in
connection with its acquisition of the subject property.
Palm Walk Associates acquired title to the subject property
on April 17, 1997. Its acquisition of the subject property
followed a foreclosure action against Mark Fassy. It is our
understanding that a former owner of the subject property had
obtained a conditional use approval and concurrency certification
for the Palm Walk Adult Congregate Living Facility. As the new
owner of the subject property, Palm Walk Associates intends to
construct ~n adult congregate living facility on the property.
However, our client recently discovered that the conditional use
approval and concurrency certification for the Palm Walk Adult
Congregate Living Facility will expire on August 16, 1997.
Although our Client intends to commence construction shortly, it
does not anticipate being in a position to commence construction
by August 16, 1997.
Accordingly, this letter will serve as a formal request by
Palm Walk Associates to the City of Boynton Beach for the issuance
of a one (1) year extension for the conditional use and
concurrency certification for the Palm Walk Adult Congregate
Tambri J. Heyden,

Dear Ms. Heyden:
Re: Bo!znton Beach Mall
Department ~tore
Pile No. NWSP 96-001
Location: 301 N. Conqress Avenue, Bo~rnton Beat1,
This firm represents the owner of the Boynton Beach Mall. As
you recall, I processed the application for the above-referenced
Development Order/Site Plan Approval.
My client respectfully requests a one year time extension
for building permit issuance for the Project and Development Order
and would show the following grounds for the request:
1) There has been a merger/reorganization of the
developer of the Boynton Beach Mall since the Site
Plan Development Order was approved.
2) Although the Site Plan Development Order was heard
by the City Commission on May 17, 1996, the City
Clerk did not issue the Order until June 5, 1996,
and the City communicated the Site Plan Development
Order to me on June 19, 1996. t did not receive it
until June 24, 1996. I contacted you before June
24 of this year requesting an extension. (I
enclose copies of the correspondence.)

Dillard, s, which was the company that was to occupy
the sixth department store, was able to move into
the vacated Mervyn, s store.
This project is subject to a D.R.I. Development
Order adopted by the City Commission that allows 2
years (until February, 1998) to
construction, commence
5) The prospective department store for the "F" site
urgently needs to begin construction of the sixth
departmenm snore at the Mall.
6) There are no changes requested at this time to the
Site Plan or the conditions for development as
adopted by the City Commission and my client will
proceed under the approved Site Plan.
I enclose the $400.00 application fee and request that
this be placed on the TRC Agenda for July 15 and Planning and
Development Board meeting for July 22, 1997.
As we discussed with Mr. Haliahan, my client has already
put the wheels in motion to comply with Conditions 17, 18, 19, and
24.
The addition of this new store will greatly enhance the
position of the Boynton Beach Mall in the South Florida market and
preserve its standing as a premier regional mall. My client is
proud to bring this opportunity no the City of Boynton Beach.
Thank you for your prompt response. My client looks
forward no continuing the professional relationship you have always
extended in the past.
Very truly yours,

I. The plans show a driveway access for Phase 2 from N. Congress Avenue.
Police department does not recommend this ingress/egress be granted. /
Sandalwood Drive is currently a divided roadway and was designed to
handle the egress from all phases of this parcel. An additional egress would
create a hazardous traffic concern on Congress Avenue, allowing more
crossover movement.
ENGINEERING DIVISION
Comments:
2. The subject traffic analysis only addresses the traffic generated by the
proposed new development and doesn't provide an overview of the area at
build-out. It is in the city's best interest to not modify the existing master I//
plan which would allow access from Phase II of the PUD onto Congress
Avenue. Therefore, it is recommended that the proposed access to Phase II
be relocated to Sandalwood Drive.

3. Remove the note indicating that setbacks are to be determined at site plan ,/

9. The traffic study submitted with the original 1983 master plan indicated
Sandalwood Drive as a main PUD thoroughfare that provides access
to/from city streets: Miner Road to the north and Congress Avenue to the
west. The fimction of Sandalwood Drive is to tie all phases together and to
provide vehicular access (main access point) to all phases of development.
The proposed access from Congress Avenue may pose a traffic hazard at
this intersection. It is recommended that the access onto/from Congress
Avenue for Phase 2 be eliminated and the prosposed driveway access onto
Sandalwood Drive be designated as the access point to Phase II.
