Mr. iMiller said this pertains to the new Recreation Art and Activity Center now
under construction near the Library. Staff is scheduled to move into this
facllity the week of August 24, 1992 and programming and full-service operation
will begin October 6, 1992. The funding being requested is for equipment

i E, Landscape architectural services for various public
, improvementslfacllity projects throughout the Clty
Mr.~iMiller~,. stated there have been times when landscape/beautification pro'ects
required a sign-off and seal of a registered landscape architect and time~ when
the~workload of the City's Forester/Environmentalist does not permit him to take
on ~dditional assignments. The City has been utilizing the services of Gee &
JenSon during those times. Mr. Miller asked the Commission if they wanted to
continue utilizing Gee & Jenson or to acquire the services of a landscape archi-
tec~ on staff in a consulting role and on an as-needed basis.
Co~issioner Harmening suggested utilizing the landscape architects already
employed in the Planning and Building Departments. Mr. Miller did not think
theSle employees have seals. Commissioner Aguila pointed out that they may have
landlscaping architect degrees; however, there is a difference between having a
degree and actually using it. They may not be up on top of design in Florida.
He ~eferred to the CDBG drawings and said they were an absolute embarrassment
and~incomprehensive. He was in favor of bidding RFQs to acquire a landscape
architect on an as-needed basis. He did not think it was fair to keep Gee &
JenSon around for this purpose only, since the City intends to hire a City
Engineer. Vice Mayor Matson believes it is in the best interest of the tax-
payeirs to utilize the employees already on staff if they are capable of doing
thiSlwork. Commissioner Aguila suggested finding out the qualifications of
theS~ employees and if they are deemed unacceptable, going out for RFQs.

Mr.~Cutro advised that Tambri Heyden does not have a seal. He did not know if
Philip Sy had one. Mr. Miller will review this matter and bring it back to the
Commission.
F, Ezell Hester Community Park - Request authorization to fence the
entire perimeter of the park facility
Mr. Miller said staff was originally looking to fence a portion of Ezell Hester
Park with a six foot chain link galvanized and vinyl coated fence, which cost
approximately $10,000. An eight foot fence would cost an additional $2,800.
Abo~t a week ago, Mr. Miller, staff from the Recreation and Parks Department,
andjrepresentatives from the Martin Luther King Committee met relative to con-
cerns regarding Ezell Hester Park, and an eight foot fence, galvanized on the
north and south sides and vinyl coated on the east side, with a swinging gate in
thejfront to close at night is desired. It would cost in the neighborhood of
$32i000 to put a fence around the entire park.
May~r Weiner attended that meeting and said the people are exceedingly concerned
abo~t people getting in when the facility is closed. She understands that the
Police Chief thinks this will help with security of the building. She was in
favor of this request.
M~t!on
Comlissioner Harmening moved to approve an eight foot chain link fence with
gates all the way around Ezell Hester Park. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the
motion.
Conmlissioner Aguila saw room for error if the companies bid on this based on the
two sheets contained in the agenda backup material, and suggested rebidding it
and including better, heater, cleaner and more detailed specifications with the
ful perimeter in mind. Mr. Miller advised that the City is going to do this.
Theimotion carried 5-0.
Mr.~Miller requested that since fencing the park is critical, this be deemed an
emergency purchase and three written quotes be allowed to be substituted for the
official bid procedure. Mr. Miller advised that if the City goes out for offi-
cia~ bid, it will take at least a month and a half.
Motion
Co~issioner Harmening moved to waive formal bid proceedings and go out for
informal bids for three telephone quotes submitted in writing. Commissioner
Agui,la seconded the motion which carried 5-0. ~

Organizer. He reported on the progress made by the Community Development
CorPoration since the Commission attended the town meeting on June 21, 1992. At
this meeting, the citizens from the target area shared information and ideas for
projects of the Boynton Beach Development Corporation. The target area is 22nd
AveNue on the north, Boynton Beach Boulevard on the south, U. S. 1 on the east,
andlI-95 on the west. From that target area, a project area was selected where
the!first houses are going to be developed. That project area is N. E. 13th
AveNue from Martin Luther King Boulevard on the south, Seacrest Boulevard on the
west and the FEC railroad tracks on the east. The information collected at the
town meeting was thoroughly scrutinized by the Directors and the projects were
prioritized. The number one project is to start building new affordable single-
family homes on N. E. 13th Avenue. The second project is going to be affordable
rentals. The third project is going to be commercial development, and the
fourth project is going to be rehabilitation of rentals and homes. At the town
meeting the Commission made a commitment to work with the Community Development
CorPoration. Mr. Matthews asked for the Commission's support in processing and
finalizing this matter so that development can commence on the 30 lots on N. E.
13th Avenue. The Boynton Beach Community Development Corporation has formed
fou~ major committees as follows: (1) Site and Legal Committee, (2) Design and
ConStruction Committee, (3) Marketing and Counseling Committee, and (4) Finance
littee. Mr. Matthews thanked the City Manager, the Code Enforcement Board,
Engineering Department, and the Planning and Zoning Director for their tre-
Ious help. He said it is gratifying and rewarding to know that we have that
ber of personnel employed by the City.
Mr. Matthews stated that the Beautification Committee has worked with the
Engineering Department on the beautification project on Martin Luther King
Boulevard and on the Adopt-A-Tree Program in beautifying 11th, 12th and 13th
StrE~ets. The conceptual plan contains a passive park and the Beautification
Com dttee is working with the Drainage District to see what needs to be done to
bring this park to the state pictured on the conceptual plan. Mr. Matthews
advised that the Commission and City personnel will be called upon to work
closely with the Community Development Corporation to see if that park can be
beautified to the level shown in the conceptual plan.
Mr. iMatthews asked for the opportunity to comment on plans taking place in the
are~ to see if they compliment the conceptual plan. He also asked for per-
mission to display a large conceptual plan at City Hall and at the Ezell Hester
Center. Mr. Matthews thanked the Commission for their cooperation and said he
lookled forward to their continued support
To cilarify for Mayor Weiner, Mr. Matthews said there are 30 vacant lots on both
sides of N. E. 13th Avenue. In response to Commissioner Harmening, Mr. Matthews
advi!sed that the City owns two of those 30 lots.
Mr. Matthews said N. E. 13th Avenue was selected because of the number of vacant
lotsI and because it is probably more buildable and would help the Community
Deveilopment Corporation to achieve their goals more quickly than starting on the
othe!r two streets.
NINUTES - REGULAR CITY COI~4ISSION NEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 18, 1992
MayOr Weiner asked where on 13th Avenue are the two lots that the City owns.
It Was determined that those two adjacent lots are on the first block, west of
theirailroad tracks.
commissioner Aguila asked if any problems are anticipated with being able to
develop the other 28 lots. Mr. Matthews believed a significant percentage can
be developed.
commissioner Walshak thanked the members of the Committees and the assistant
from the County for their diligent work. Commissioner Walshak inquired about
the other people that the Community Development Corporation will be working with
who also have ideas of developing this area. Mr. Matthews advised that the
Community Development Corporation met with another organization that is planning
to Build single-family homes in the project area. The Community Development
CorPoration would like to see the area developed according to the conceptual
plan and that is the reason for requesting that the grass roots neighborhood
organization have a say in how it is going to finally be developed and the
opportunity to comment on plans that are submitted through the City.
commissioner Walshak thinks that the CountY Housing Partnership has committed to
builld five homes; three near the Old Sewer Treatment Plant, one on 13th, and one
on )1th Street. In addition, Commissioner Walshak understood that the County
HOusing Partnership purchased the lot on the northeast corner of 13th and
Seacrest, where a model is going to be erected. Mayor Weiner advised that the
Co~ission does not have any formal notification of any of this. Wilfred
Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, said the Commission will be hearing more
about this as the plans are formalized. They are in the process of discussion
and )signing papers.
Mr. ilMatthews advised that the Community Development Corporation has met with
theilHousing Partnership and has concluded that the need for affordable housing
in tihe area is so great that they will support whatever others can do to help.
MayOir Weiner said the Commission has had no formal notification and knows
nothing about the County and its Housing Partnership or the urchase of lots
:, . . P by
anyqlne and, therefore, would like to dispense with this part of the discussion.
She !isaid the Commission will take under advisement the request for the tWo lots
tha~I the City owns. It was the consensus of the Commission to have Mr. Miller
loo~i into this matter and return to the Commission with some formal information
rega?ding the two lots.
Commissioner Aguila felt this is a terrific program. Vice Mayor Matson could
not !believe how far the Community Development Corporation has come in such a
short period of time. She pledged her support and assistance. Commissioner
Harm~ning supported this concept and agreed with Vice Mayor Matson that it
a i
ppeprs a great deal of work has been done in a short period of time. Mayor
Wein~r wished Mr. Matthews good luck and offered him the continued support of
the Commission.
D, Urban Form Study Slide Presentation by the Palm Beach County Planning
Department
HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMHISSION #EETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 18, 1992
Dennis Foltz, Planning Director of Palm Beach County, and Kathy Dolewski, Senior
Planner, were present. Mr. Foltz distributed brochures and questionnaires,
which he asked be filled out returned to the County. The questionnaires will be
tabulated and serve as guidance to the County.
Mr. Foltz stated that the County is working with the City of Boynton Beach in
the West Boynton Area Study. He spoke of City-County cooperation in planning
and the City's involvement in developing the land use plan and the City having a
role in the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan. He stated that the Urban
Form Study is an analysis of long range land use. In 1989 when Palm Beach
Couoty and the 37 cities all developed and adopted the Comprehensive Plans, it
wasldone in individual vacuums. There was no County-wide vision. The Board of
County Commissioners included in the 1989 Plan some direction for us to proceed
with some kind of a visioning process because the unincorporated area stretches
a long way across the County. There was not much guidance. The Urban Form
Study is a concept level visioning process, is not mandatory, and is being done
in Preparation for the 1995 next major update of the Comprehensive Plan as
required by the State. Other forms of land use are being looked at. The Land
UselAdvisory Board of the County is the oversight body for the study. Mr. Foltz
announced that on October 3, 1992 there will be a Future Focus Workshop to pre-
pare some alternative scenarios of land use. Those scenarios will be brought
bacE next Spring in public meetings for discussion.
A sl)ide presentation was shown.
MayOr Weiner advised that the West Boynton Study Group consists of the City of
Boy,ton Beach, COWBRA, and representatives from the Agricultural Reserve. A
mee.ing was held in which the public participated fully. An organizational
meeting was held and another meeting was held to discuss what we would like to
see lin the agricultural reserve west of Boynton Beach, which is 40 square miles.
It lis possible that some day there will be 71,000 people living on that 40
square miles of land and possibly the City will annex all the way out to 441,
thereby acquiring the bulk of those 40 square miles. The West Boynton Study
Grouip usually meets twice a month and will be meeting tomorrow night at Fire
Stat)ion #3 on Miner Road and Congress Avenue. Mayor Weiner invited all to
atteind; however, public participation is not allowed. The West Boynton Study
Group will work to develop a plan that will benefit the City and unless the
citilzens stand behind it, all that work will be for naught. Mayor Weiner felt
everyone needs to be involved in the land use planning of this County in order
to prevent becoming like Dade and Broward Counties.

red to have a sign three times bigger than it ought to be. They promised to
landscape the median, but have not done so. They also have been allowed to

has been hanging from it for several months. Atrium Plaza was.allowed to paint
colors that are not within City Code. Tiffany's Cabaret displays sexually
explicit messages which are offensive. Grass is growing through the concrete
and, debris is everywhere. Ms. Clark said she read in last week's newspaper that
Arby's would like to put neon lights on their roof. She asked the Commission to
stop what is happening on South Federal Highway and to take steps to improve
that area. She volunteered to serve on a task force. Mayor Weiner thinks a
task force is a good idea and offered her assistance in helping to start one.
Shelhad no doubt that when citizens get involved, a lot more is accomplished.
Ms. iClark asked the Commission for a commitment tonight not to allow any more
variances or offensive sites on South Federal Highway.
commissioner Harmening said he was appalled when he read in the minutes of the
Planning and Development Board that neon lighting on Arby's had been approved.
Commissioner Aguila pointed out that because this item is not on tonight's
age~da, Arby's can automatically obtain a permit for the neon lighting.
AttQrney Cherof did not think action by the Planning and Development Board
constitutes an approval and authority to go to the Building Department to pull a
permit. He deems it advisory in nature because it requires a change to the
Community Design Plan itself, which has to be done by ordinance. Attorney
Che~of did not know why it was not on the agenda tonight and said if the prop-
erty owner was misled as to the powers of the Planning and Development Board,
he needs to be contacted and the Building and Planning Departments need to be
advlsed not to process an application for issuance of any building permit for
the~neon.
MayQr Weiner asked Mr. Miller to look into the complaint of grass growing from
cra~ks on South Federal Highway.
In response to Mr. Miller, Don Jaeger, Building Official, believes the ordinance
indicates that if an administrative decision is being appealed, the matter need
go ~o further than the Planning and Development Board, unless the applicant
wan~s to appeal further. Attorney Cherof did not think the property owner was
before the Planning and Development Board on that basis, since a permit was not
deniied. The only way for a person to get to the Planning and Development Board
on aln appellate basis is if he applied for a permit and was denied that permit
tI ·
by ihe Building Official. Attorney Cherof felt the applicant was before the
Plan!ning and Development Board on an advisory basis, looking for some direction.
Commissioner Aguila said he already asked the City Manager to place the
Commiunity Design Plan on the September 2, 1992 agenda. He thought that the
CommUnity Design Plan was not good and would like to replace it with something
thati makes more sense.
Commissioner Walshak asked Attorney Cherof if the appeal process can be cleaned
up s!O that it comes back to the elected officials. Attorney Cherof answered in
the affirmative, saying a provision needs to be inserted as to who has the right
to appeal and under what circumstances. If this is going to come up for
discussion with respect to the Plan itself, it is going to require an ordinance
to amend it and those changes regarding procedure can be incorporated in the
sameordinance. Attorney Cherof further advised that if there is a consensus to
11
HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COHHISSION HEETiNG
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 18, 1992
clean up the procedure on who can appeal and under what circumstances, he could
have this available for first reading at the next Commission meeting.
It was the consensus of the Commission to direct the City Attorney to bring back
an Ordinance to clarify that actions regarding interpretation of the Community
Design Plan by the Planning and Development Board are of an advisory nature
onlY.
In ~esponse to a gentleman in the audience, Mayor Weiner advised that purchase
of a street sweeper and the hiring of a person to operate it has been budgeted
forlfiscal year 92/93. Mr. Miller added that if the budget is approved in
September, service will commence in October. He added that this area is top
priority, as well as Boynton Beach Boulevard, Congress Avenue, and portions of
the)northeast section.
Richard Parsons said he is trying to beautify his business at 435 West Boynton
BeaCh Boulevard by resurfacing the roof with red barrel tiles. His business
fall)s within the Coastal Village theme. He is presently under contract with a
roofing contractor and before the project was started he was unaware that he
coul)d not upgrade to the red barrel roof tile and proceeded to tear up the old
til~. The roof is now exposed. Mayor Weiner asked if Mr. Parsons was before
the~)Commission concerning another matter. Mr. Parsons advised Mayor Weiner of a
separate matter where he tried to expand square footage for storage purposes, in
which he fell under the Land Comp Plan and was in nonconformity. The outcome
waslthat he could expand as a separate entity as an office use.
Mr. ~Parsons said he spoke to Chris Cutro because of the urgency of this matter.
Mr. !Cutro expressed concern about setting a precedent by bypassing the Planning
and iDevelopment Board and asking the City Commission for relief from the
Community Design Plan. He said he suggested that Mr. Parsons ask the City
Comnlission to give the Planning Department direction to.call a special meeting
of t)he Planning and Development Board.
Commiissioner Aguila stated that Mr. Parsons is trying to improve his property
and make it better than the Community Design Plan allows him to do. He thinks
the Community Design Plan needs to be brought into the twentieth century. He
supported this request and felt the red barrel tiles are aesthetically
appropriate. Commissioner Walshak agreed with Commissioner Aguila.
Attolrney Cherof said the only way to change the Community Design Plan is to do
it by ordinance. There is no relief that the Commission could grant to a single
property owner on any element addressed by the Community Design Plan.
Commissioner Aguila asked why was it appropriate to allow the Atrium Shops to be
pain~ed colors which were not in the Community Design Plan. Mr. Cutro said that
came) by way of the Planning and Development Board. Attorney Cherof confirmed
thisi~ saying it was properly processed. There is no direct appeal to the
Commi)ssion on interpretation or change to the Community Design Plan, notwith-
standing the hardship involved.
Vice Mayor Matson pointed out that the City is in litigation with Casablanca
over,the same issue. Attorney Cherof advised that it is not the same issue

because it is in a completely different district. Vice Mayor Matson was con-
cerned about setting a precedent.
In response to Commissioner Walshak, Attorney Cherof advised that the onlyway
thelCommission can grant Mr. Parsons relief is by calling a special meeting to
expedite the amendment to the ordinance.
Commissioner Harmening said this matter is not of sufficient magnitude to rush
into and can wait almost indefinitely. Commissioner Aguila agreed, saying that
the)tiles are purely decorative and waterproofing of the roof is handled by the
material below the tiles.
Mayor Weiner suggested a workshop if the Community Design Plan is going to be
amended by ordinance, since a lot of time was spent on this Community Design
Plax by a previous Commission and consultants were involved. She advised
Mr.)Parsons to go through the proper channels to seek relief. Commissioner
Aguila was not sure a workshop was necessary. He did not think it is proper for
thelCity Commission to define materials and styles for particular avenues within
the)City. He said consultants were not involved in the Community Design Plan
and)that the Community Design Plan was put together in a hurry because of
Casablanca. He suggested giving guidance via ordinance to the Planning and
Development Board so they can make recommendations to the City Commission.
commissioner Aguila felt the Community Design Plan does not work and creates
many problems.

nissioner Aguila asked if Mr. Cutro was aware that the application request is
180 students but the plan indicates room for only 136. Mr. Cutro said he
aware of the discrepancy; however, that is not something the Planning and
ng Department reviews; that is the responsibility of the State Department of
Kuoppala, 5204 lOth Avenue North, Lake Worth, said the total number of
dren laid out on the plan is 161. The difference between that and 180 is
md is for the multi-purpose room in building number one.
Witl) regard to the comments of the Building Department, and in response to
Co~lissioner Aguila, Mr. Kuoppala said the four buildings are tied together with
one common roof, which essentially makes these four buildings into one building.
The'efore, 4-hour protection is not required. However, the building will be
ful y fire sprinklered.
Commissioner Aguila asked how Mr. Kuoppala arrived at 161 chi'idren. Mark
Mendel, owner, 7245 South Military Trail, Lake Worth, explained that the numbers
relqte to how the school will be initially opened. The plan is to open each
classroom with full staff. That is why the numbers are lower in each classroom.
Themmulti-purpose room does not have numbers of children associated with it
becquse it cannot be identified how many children will use it at a different
point in time. During the summer different numbers of children will be put into
a r~om that would not be put there during the school year because of their age.
Mr. Mendel said the number is higher than he would ever expect to operate, given
thelage span that is being looked at now. If he took away infant care, for
instance, and put in 4 year olds, the numbers would be different on the plans.
Howelver, if in two years it was decided not to have infant care, he would be
limited and could not include 4 year olds. To allow for flexibility, he has to
allO~ for the proper square footage and design.

(uoppala said at the Planning and Development Board he agreed to eliminate

that last parking space to create a turnaround. Commissioner Aguila suggested
instead that since it was also agreed to relocate the dumpster to the end and
provide a backout for the truck, that the backout be used as a turnaround.
Mr. Kuoppala said that is what it will be used for. Commissioner Aguila asked
if the dumpster will be moved there and if a turnaround will be provided in the
same area as the truck would turn around. Mr. Kuoppala answered in the affirma-
tive. '
Commissioner Aguila said there is an island and three spaces as you drive in on
theileft hand side at the very first parking space. He felt all parking spaces
need to end in an island and those three spaces do not. He would like the first
par~ing space eliminated and replaced with a landscaped island. Mr. Kuoppala
poi.ted out that the twenty foot buffer between the property line and the first
par~ing space acts as the turnaround island and that there is five feet of
landscaping between the property line and what was the backup area for the sani-
tation truck. Mr. Kuoppala confirmed for Commissioner Aguila that more parking
will be brought down because that backup is not necessary and landscaping will
be provided there.
commissioner Aguila would like the sign information to be submitted to the
Planning Department to make sure they concur that it complies with Quantum.
Mr. iKuoppala said the Planning Department will see it during construction dOcu-
ments before the building permit is issued. Mr. Cutro asked to see the sign
sheet a couple of days earlier. Mr. Kuoppala will comply with this request.

C, Other
I, Waster Plan modlflcatlon to amend a condition regarding the
construction of Knuth Road as part of the Tara Oaks PUD
Hr. Cutro stated that Hichael Schroeder, who represents Bill Winchester, the
owner of the Tara Oaks PUD and the Knuth Road PCD, as well as the Boynton Beach
PCD~ is requesting to change a condition that was made to the Tara Oaks PUD,
which required Knuth Road between Woolbright Road and Boynton Beach Boulevard be
built as part of the Tara Oaks development. The owner is now requesting that
thejresponsibility for building the road be split between two different develop-
ments and suggested that the Boynton Beach PCD and the Knuth Road PCD be used to
kicE in the north portion of the requirement for the road and the Tara Oaks PUD
be Used to require the southern portion of it. Hr, Cutro advised that a problem
wi1) occur if the road requirements are split. In addition, the logistics of
wha~ happens on other roads changes significantly if Knuth Road is not put in
place. Knuth Road is being treated as a bypass road, at least in traffic plans.
If it does not appear, levels of service on Congress Avenue and Boynton Beach
Boulevard and perhaps on other roads will be changed. The homeowners of the
Sto~ehaven PUD would prefer never to see Knuth Road built and would like to
del~y the building of Knuth Road as long as possible. Staff considers this to
be a minor change to Tara Oaks because it does not re uire a
...... , . . . q total rezoning of
th~slte to make this determination. However, whatever determination the City
Commission makes, staff asks it be laid out in very distinct terms so that when
thi~ goes to the Planning and Development Board for final approval, they have
definite direction from the City Commission.
Co~issioner Aguila stated that the graphic information in the backup material
is~f very poor quality and he cannot read it well. Mr. Cutro said this is an
ongoing problem when copying aerials. Mr. Cutro will provide regular line
dr~ings in the future.
Co~issioner Aguila felt splitting the responsibility for the road is a mistake.
Mr.~iSchroeder pointed out that he is really focusing on the north part of the
unfilnished portion of the road from the southerly boundary of the L25 canal up
to tihe present entrance to Stonehaven in an attempt to correct a mistake that
waslmade long ago by a different Commission. Looking at the northerly link,
neitiher the Tara Oaks property nor the Knuth Road PCD property front on that
port,on of road. That property is fronted by the Stonehaven residential devel
opment and that northern link should have been built by the developer of -
Stoni~haven. Mr. Winchester has not objected to assisting the City in fixing
thatimProblem and recognizes that the road eventually must go through. However,
it ci~st roughly $350,000 to build 3,700 feet of road. In addition, at this
poin)~ in time, there is no approval for impact fee credit for the cost of the
road)i The traffic impact fees {$220,000) would be levied against the 192 units
in tihe
$2,8!d0 Tara Oaks multi-family. $570,000 in costs are associated with the road,
per unit. He suggested that with this kind of a burden per unit, the
roadl)may never be built because it makes the property unmarketable. Another
16
HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COI~HISS~ON #EET~NG
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 18, 1992
problem is when the Knuth Road and the Tara Oaks projects were brought before a
prior Commission for approval, Mr. Kilday submitted this for consideration to
the Commission with the idea that the northern link would be an obligation of
the Knuth Road PCD and the balance of the road to the south would be the obliga-
tion of the Tara Oaks property. When those projects came through for final con-
sideration they were all run through at the same time. There was no clear break
in the presentation and all of staff comments with respect to Knuth Road were
lumped under the Tara Oaks heading. As a result, approvals by the Commission
were subject to staff comments. During the course of going through the
Government approval process the residents of Stonehaven had certain concerns
about several of these projects. A meeting was held and a written agreement was
submitted to the Commission and incorporated into the overall approval, which
indicated that when the Knuth Road Shopping Center was built, Mr. Winchester
would pay for the construction of a wall and landscape buffer that would run the
length of the Stonehaven project, at a cost well in excess of $100,000. The
reason it was set up that way was because when the probjects were brought before
thelCommission, they were presented with the idea that the northern link would.
go i~o the shopping center parcel to spread out the economic burden of building
that much road between the two projects. The situation is that staff comments
say the entire length of Knuth Road must be built with the multi-family site;
however, an agreement with the homeowners exists that was incorporated into the
appdoval that says the trigger for the wall is the construction of the shopping
ceni~er site. One possible outcome of this would be that if City Commission
decildes not to change the requirement and grant this request, when the apartment
site is built, Stonehaven will have the road go through but they will not have
theilandscape or wall buffer and will not be able to get them until the shopping
cenl~er is built. Since the road is not an obligation of the Knuth Road Shopping
Cen~er site, that shopping center could be developed and there would be a buffer
but !no road. Impact fee credit has been applied for but no response has been
received to date. Mr. Schroeder advised that it is going to be necessary, per
the !County, that a turn lane on Woolbright Road be constructed when the second
portiion is built, and even if impact fee credit is given for Tara Oaks, it will
not ibe sufficient to cover the cost of the road and will fall short by around
$1oo!,ooo.
Mayoir Weiner read a part of Richard Staudinger's August 14, 1992 letter to
Mr. ~utro and asked if the missing link he referred to is the road over the
canall.. ~ .Mr'. Staudinger. advised it is the northern portion of it. Mr. Staudinger
said this is his recommendation on how to proceed to protect the City from
entering into a situation which (1) the County might fight because they have not
been!a party to it, and (2) that might result in a road that is partially built.
He skid if there is an amenable way to work this out with the County's roadway
standards to be able to distribute those costs between some other properties,
that~certainly should be considered but advised the City Commission not to do
anything that would allow that road to be built in sections where we might not
havei it connecting when development occurs.
In response to Vice Mayor Matson's question about possible problems the City
migh~ face, Attorney Cherof advised that these are very clearly set forth in
Mr. ~taudinger's letter. The City could end up with a situation where there is
a missing link and the City could be in a position of not being able to compel
that!portion of the road to be built according to its timetable.

HZNUTES - REGULAR CITY COI4HISSION NEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST ZS, 1992
Commissioner Walshak asked if there was any way the City can bond the road.
Mr.;Staudinger stated there is a PUD on the south end and a PCD on the north
end, The property owner would like to split those obligations. He did not know
if there is any ability for the City to require a bond from that PCD unless they
are!ready to move forward and develop. Commissioner Walshak wondered if the
developer would agree to place a bond on the PCD. Mr. Schroeder stated that
bonos are very difficult to obtain nowadays and one would almost have to put up
cash collateral equal to the amount of the bond, which means the applicant might
as Well build the road. He did not think the Commission is in a position to
require the Knuth Road PCD owner to build the entire road if he comes on line
first. In fact, Mr. Schroeder thinks the opposite is the case and if that
shopping center comes on line first, there is no obligation for them to build
anyliportion of the road whatsoever. He hoped the Commission would bear in mind
that this is a special situation because the propery owner is being required to
buiid about 1,200 feet of road when his property does not front on it and it
rea)ly should have been built when Stonehaven was done, under the City sub-
division regulations.
MayQr Weiner asked Mr. Staudinger what he estimates the cost of that missing
lin~ to be. Mr. Staudinger had not prepared an estimate and has seen no cost
est.~mates. Mr. Schroeder said according to Rick Rossi, the cost of that
nort~hern link, including the cost of culvertin and crossin.
· , .... g g the L2§ canal, is
in i~he VlClnlty of $110,000, in addition to a like number for building a wall
for ithe homeowners when that was done.
Commissioner Aguila asked if the original obligation to construct Knuth Road lay
witm~ Tara Oaks. Mr. Staudinger answered in the affirmative, saying it is
clearly stated in the Master Plan and the records. If the Commission wishes to
try to modify an agreement, that can be explored. He recommended not doing
anything further without getting the County involved. Mr. Schroeder pointed out
tha~ he has seen copies of staff comments from 1988, and it was recognized that
the problem with the northern link existed then, but the City placed the burden
for all of Knuth Road on the Tara Oaks property and said the City should try to
help the developer get impact fee credit for the cost of the road. The Knuth
Road property was in the County at that time, not the City. Commissioner Aguila
saidI Tara Oaks accepted that condition at that time and the City has and is
helPlin9 the developer get those impact credits. Therefore, nothing has changed
oth~!r than the economy.
In r~sponse to Mayor Wether, Mr. Staudinger said it is his recommendation that
if the City Commission directs him to move forward to explore an agreement to
get ~his road built that the County be included in this process. Commissioner
Agui))a pointed out that the City could still end up with a missing link, with or
with!put the County's blessing. He wondered if the City would have any leverage
in getting the properties on the north side of the L25 canal {the Knuth Road PCD
or t!he BoyntOn Beach Boulevard PCD) to extend that road from where it ends now
to tihe L2§ canal if they were to build. Mr. Staudinger believed the Boynton
Beacih Boulevard PCD is on the other side of the road and is not near this sec-
tionHof Knutlt Road. Therefore, he did not see any way an obligation can be tied
in tlhere at all. As far as Knuth Road, he thinks there might be some direction
the ~ity can pursue, since the road is nearby. However, he did not know of any
18
HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COI~I$$ION #EETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 18, 1992
development requirement in the approval of that PCD which spoke specifically to
buiiding this road.
Commissioner Aguila feared that if the City Commission modifies the approval of
Tar~ Oaks building the entire road and cannot require the Knuth Road PCD to
build it, that there will be a missing link and nobody will be willing to build
it.i Mr. Staudinger believed the reason this came up is because the same pro-
per~y owner controls both parcels and that would be the key to getting the
construction costs split, which would be a little more acceptable to the cost
periunit and would also insure that the City would wind up with a missing link.
Mr. Schroeder said Mr. Winchester would have no objection to treating this as a
modification of the approvals for both properties if the follwing is imposed on
the Knuth Road PCD: The obligation to build the northerly link when the
ShOl)ping center parcel is developed, and modifying Tara Oaks to remove the
nor':herly link from that approval. Mr. Staudinger pointed out that this does
not address the City's concern about what happens if one develops and the other
doe~ not. There would then be half a road. Mr. Staudinger thinks more needs to
be ~dded to that agreement, such as assurance that if a number of years pass
wit~ one development moving forward and the other one not moving forward that
thece is some mechanism to build that road, whether it be by bonding or by
limiting the number of units that can be built in the first phase of Tara Oaks
befQre something happens on the road on the north end. Commissioner Aguila
suggested finding out the County's reaction and having further discussions with
thelPeople that control the property before proceeding. Mr. Staudinger said if
thelCommission wants to explore an agreement, he can talk to the property owner
ove~ the next couple of weeks.

pproached this way because to reach a determination whether it is major or
r, many factors need to be taken into consideration, including whether an
ement can be reached to insure that the road is built within a reasonable
od of time. If such an agreement can be reached, then the City Commission
construe this to be a minor modification. On the other hand, if there is no
ement, the City Commission may consider the delay of the road being built or
)Ossibility that it may never be built under these proposed conditions to be

2. Request from #lke #rotek to w&lve fees to proceed before the
Ctty's Board of Adjustment and Bulldlng Board of Appeals
Attorney Cherof stated that as the Commission is aware, the Appellate Court
upheld the Circuit Court's dismissal of the Mrotek lawsuit against the City, but
picked up on an old stipulation between the previous City Attorney and
Mr. iMrotek, which permitted Mr. Mrotek to come back to the Board of Adjustment
to have the issue with respect to the wall height addressed. Mr. Mrotek was at
one point in time before the Board of Adjustment for one hearing. There was a
dispute over the procedure that was followed. The then City Attorney determined
that the Board did not follow the proper procedure and Mr. Mrotek was invited
back. He did not come back but instead pursued the Circuit Court action. He
now:has the opportunity to come back again by virtue of the Appellate Court's
ruling. His request is that, in conjunction with this new appearance before the
Board of Adjustment, the filing fee of $275 be waived. Attorney Cherof recom-
mended this fee be waived because he perceives this to be an ongoing and con-
tinuing review process. It was determined that Mr. Mrotek has already paid the
$275 filing fee.

and:perhaps another claim for 1990. They would agree to waive that in light of
this amendment to the pension plan. Unfortunately, the minutes are not explicit
in that regard and Attorney Cherof thinks that if this action is to be construed
as a resolution of that previous claim, that the City should have in hand a spe-
cific document, either in the form of a release or more explicit minutes from
theiPension Board that they in fact are releasing the City from this potential
claim. He asked the Commission to table this matter and permit him and other

Attorney Cherof pointed out for consideration by the City Commission before
secOnd reading that this does provide that a violation of Chapter 4 of the Code
of Ordinances would constitute a misdemeanor under State Law. The reason for
thati is that the State Attorney's Office will prosecute that in County Court for
the !~ity, but they will not do it if it is anything less than a misdemeanor. We
provided that it is a second degree misdemeanor and the City Commission s con-
sideKation should be whether that is too strong a penalty since that would show
up on somebody's record as a criminal violation in the event that they were con-
victi~d for something that would be akin to letting their dog run loose or
violi~ting other provisions of that chapter. It was the consensus of the City

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA,
RELEASING A PERFORMANCE BOND IN THE AMOUNT OF $175,575.40 ISSUED BY THE
INSURANCE COMPANY OF NORTH AMERICA TO DEVCON INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION FOR
THE PROJECT KNOWN AS SUTTON PLACE AT HUNTER'S RUN; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Mayer Weiner asked if the City still has this bond. Mr. Staudinger said Vincent
Finlzio's Memorandum No. 92-232 to J. Scott Miller indicates there is a bond in
theiamount of $175,575.40. Mr. Staudinger has not seen that. Commissioner
Harmening stated that the letter indicates there is a bond and that water is
standing in the curb. Mr. Staudinger said he inspected this site and found no
areas in the curb where there was a problem because of the curb design. There
arena couple of concrete flumes that run the water off the curb over grassed
areas into inlets and the grass has grown up which is blocking the drainage. He
therefore recommended those be cleaned out and suggested releasing the bond sub-
jec~ to the developer doing a general cleanup of the area and lowering the sod
so ~hat drainage will occur.
Commissioner Harmening expressed concern about the patches in the street.
Mr~Staudinger said he found no specific requirement in the Code erta~n~
t p ''ng to
helpatches. He said the two patches are a result of spot repairs to the sani-
tar~ sewer line when problems were discovered during televising of the'line.
Because the asphalt is new, the color is different. Commissioner Harmening was
not,concerned with the color of the new asphalt because it should fade in
another year. He was concerned about the level. Mr. Staudinger advised that
the!new asphalt has been there for a year and it is level; however, it is a dif-
ferelnt color than the old asphalt and the homeowners were pretty concerned about
it. !

Commlissioner Harmening moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. Rg1-143 subject
to the Engineer holding up release of the bond until such time as the grass in
the iSwale area that controls the runoff in the curb is lowered to the proper

Commissioner Harmening added that if the curb and gutter is holding water other
thanibecause of high grass at the swale, he would make them replace that too.

David Beasley advised that the closing of the last house is scheduled this
Friday and it would be fine if the release of the bond is held up two weeks
because the closing will institute the final cleanup. The last flumes will also
be taken care of.
Commissioner Aguila seconded the motion.
Mayor Weiner advised that she attended the homeowners' meeting and the
homeowners were very upset about the patches in the roadway. Mayor Weiner said
it is level but very unsightly. Vice Mayor Matson feared setting a precedent
and stated that when the City inspected Boynton Lakes and Boynton Lakes North,
theY allowed the streets with twenty or thirty cuts and patches. She wanted to
be :areful what kind of message is being sent to the communities.
Commissioner Harmening asked if the new asphalt is the same type as the old
asphalt. Mr. Staudinger said it looks like both of them are type 2, which is a
medium density and said over time it will fade. Commissioner Aguila did not
think it was appropriate to blatantly impose different standards in different
communities.

A, Cost Recovery System for the City's development review process
(Planning and Engineering Departments)
ri Heyden, Senior Planner, stated that based on the comments from the City
ission on the Planning Department's last proposal for the cost recovery
em, a new proposal has been prepared. This proposal for the land develop-
fees maintains the flat fee currently charged. However, the cost recovery
d only be implemented for staff services that are above and beyond pre-
rmined services covered by the flat fee. Planning and Zoning Department
randum No. 92-173 gives an example of such a list of services that would be
red for site plan review. The cost recovery would be applied to reviews
nd the second review of plans. Attached to that memo is a proposed land
opment fee schedule which shows some proposed increases in fees and a few
decreases. The decreases are based on some changes to procedures.
Mr. 4iller brought to the Commission's attention the memorandum from the
Engineering Department regarding fee changes.

#INUTES - REGULAR CITY COI~ISSION #EETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 18, 1992
Commissioner Aguila was pleased with the Planning Department's proposals but
would like more information regarding the Engineering Department's fees.
Mr. Staudinger believed the only difference in cost is the preliminary plat
review fees. He explained that the preliminary plat is a very detailed review
which includes construction plans for all the required improvements and review
of the cost estimates from the developers' engineers for bonding. He felt that
thelprevious fees of $750 were completely insufficient to cover costs.
Mr. iStaudinger said the preliminary plat submission fees reflect a $500 increase
based on the level of detail and review that is required for the preliminary
plat and the required construction plans, specifically drainage plans and road-
way plans, which are in final construction form at that stage.
otion
conm~issioner Aguila moved to revise the fees to the new recommended schedule.
commissioner Walshak seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Comnlissioner Harmening asked if the motion included the Engineering as well as
the!iland development revisions. Commissioner Aguila would like more information
relative to the fees proposed in Engineering Department Memorandum No. 92-231
andltherefore, his motion pertained strictly to land development fees.
#orlon
Con~issioner Aguila moved to table the portion regarding the proposed engi-
neering fees until he receives more information about the fees proposed in
Engineering Department Memorandum No. 92-231. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the
motion.
Commissioner Harmening pointed out that a resolution is needed to pass this and
the~e is no resolution at this point in time. Therefore, between now and the
next meeting it can be studied.
.ottion
Commissioner Aguila moved to instruct the City Manager and City Attorney to put
thi~. in the form of a resolution so that this cost recovery program can be
incorporated as soon as possible. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion which

mile radius and the difference between that and the free calls to Delray Beach
with 25¢ to Boca Raton. She will afford Mr. Passmore the courtesy of explaining
this to her and when she goes before the Public Service Commission she will do
what is best for the City of Boynton Beach rather than what is best for Southern

XI, NEW BUSINESS
A, Items for discussion requested by Co~mlssloner Bob Walshak
1, Vehlcle parking in residential area
Con~issioner Walshak stated that at the last meeting he pointed out the huge
disparity between Chapters 14 and 20 of the Code and asked the City Commission
to~onsider bringing these chapters into conformity, more specifically what can
be~arked in residential areas and truck parking. Chapter 14 allows Winnebagos,
boats and boat trailers to be parked in driveways. Winnebagos are up to thirty-
fiveI feet long and almost twelve feet high and have a gross vehicle weight of
28,000 pounds. Chapter 20 only allows 3/4 ton pick-up trucks to be parked in
driVeways. Commissioner Walshak suggested allowing trucks up to 10,000 pounds
(gross vehicle weight) to be parked in driveways and limiting it to one vehicle
per residence.
Con~issioner Harmening was not in favor of allowing five ton trucks to be parked
in residential driveways, but was willing to allow pick-up trucks up to a maxi-
mum Of one ton.

ission which has some continuity and makes more sense.
Weiner was against tow trucks being parked in driveways in a residential
no matter how much they weigh.
ssioner Agulia agreed that there seems to be some discrepancy between the
:hapters which needs to be looked at.
Mayor Matson pointed out that some communities are protected by homeowners'
nents and others are not. She felt it was the Commission's responsibility
lhance the residents' quality of life if the opportunity exists.
)ssioner Walshak suggested that the City Attorney find out how other cities
e this. Attorney Cherof advised that there is a disparity between Chapters
id 20 and asked the Commission for more specific direction.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY CONNISSION NEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 18, 1992
Commissioner Harmening was not in favor of changing anything in either chapter,
except for allowing one ton pick-up trucks.
AttOrney Cherof suggested he survey what the other cities are doing and, in
light of what their language is, find out what problems they have encountered in
enforcement or philosophically what problems they have had with it over the past
couPle of years.
Commissioner Harmening did not feel it was the City Attorney's business to tell
the!City Commission what their business is and that this is not a legal problem.
commissioner Aguila suggested that Commissioner Walshak be specific about what
problems he sees with both chapters and bring it back to the Commission.
Several of the Commissioners mentioned that they received calls from tow truck
drivers. Commissioner Walshak said he received calls from people who make their
living with trucks and would like to have the privilege of parking those trucks
in their own driveways. Those trucks are licensed in the State of Florida and
those people pay City taxes.
commissioner Aguila agreed with Con~nissioner Harmening that this is not an issue
forlthe City Attorney. Commissioner Harmening felt this was a policy making
decision. Commissioner Walshak hoped that the City Attorney is involved in all
the!ordinance and code work and all the legislature past by this body if it
becomes a law of the City. He did not think anybody on board is qualified to do
tha~ other than the City Attorney.
Mayor Weiner suggested Commissioner Walshak bring this matter back to the
Commission in two weeks.

response to Commissioner Aguila, Mr. Miller advised that there is a limitation
on the size of political signs and that staff is following up on making sure
that politicians are obtaining signatures of the property owners to allow them
to Place signs on those properties.
MayOr Weiner felt faster results would be obtained if it is explained to the
people that they will be fined on a daily basis.
Commissioner Aguila wondered if something could be done to limit the number of
sig~s It was pointed out that the number of signs cannot be limited. Only the
size and location of the signs can be limited. Mr. Miller advised that staff is
taking down signs when they are in the right-of-ways on telephone poles, and on
signs. '
