City Manager Miller called the meeting to order at
7:05 P. M. and announced that Mayor Arline Weiner was ill
and Vice Mayor Ed Harmening was on vacation. The first
order of business was to appoint a Chairperson pro tem. for
the meeting.

person pro tem. of this meeting, seconded by Commissioner
Artis. Motion carried 3-0.
After a moment of silent prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance to
the Flag was led by Commissioner Aguila.
AGENDA APPROVAL
Because of the absence of an important portion of the City
Commission, Commissioner Aguila.suggested the Commission
might want to dispense with some of the items on the agenda
for a couple of weeks. Chairperson pro tem. Matson thought
the Commission should take the items as they come on the
agenda. If anyone feels an item should be tabled, they can
make a motion.
Under "CONSENT AGENDA, D. Approval of Bills", City Manager
Miller added "Auxiliary Power Systems". He explained this
was a bid awarded by the City Commission several months ago
in the amount of $115,155. City Manager Miller postponed
"1. Proclamations: a) National Safe Boating Week" under
"ANNOUNCEMENTS" because representatives could not be here
tonight to accept the Proclamation. The item was postponed
until the June 4, 1991 meeting of the Commission. Since the
City did not have all of the appropriate information on the
applicant, City Manager Miller deleted from the agenda "Pro-
posed Resolution No. 91- Re: Barge rental for fireworks
display", which appeared under "LEGAL, C. Resolutions."
Commissioner Aguila moved, seconded by Commissioner Artis,
to approve the agenda as revised. Motion carried 3-0.

(Castilla Lane), southeast corner
CONDITIONAL USE: Request for condi-
tional use approval to convert an
existing bank and to construct an addi-
tion to establish a 6,635 square foot
restaurant
Mr. Cutro apprised the Commission this was a conditional
use request for the expansion of an existing structure to
establish a 6,635 square foot restaurant. As a supplement
to the backup that was prepared for the P&Z Board, Mr. Cutro
said there was also an economic analysis they prepared. In
terms of direct income, this project would mean $30,000
coming into the City. That would be $25,000 for water and
sewer fees and an additional $5,000 for building permits-.
Mr. Cutro stressed that these were approximate figures. In
addition, there would be ad valorem taxes of approximately
$5,000, sales tax of approximately $6,600, and licenses of
about $1,100. That would come to about $12,700 minus what
is presently being paid on taxes, which would net to about a
$9,000 increase in terms of the overall value. There would
be a $3,300 impact fee for Palm Beach County as well as
taxes.
The indirect financial effects were hard to pin down, but
Mr. Cutro said the Planning Department used its imagination.
He knew approximately 75 jobs would be involved. There
would obviously be a positive impact on the City if Busch's
moved here. Good restaurants spark competition, and the
restaurant quality could be expected to go up. Boynton
Beach would also become a destination point for people going
out in the evening.
Mr. Cutro said the City Staff recommended that this be
denied. The P&Z Board also recommended denial.
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
Craig Livinqston, Architect, 323 North Federal Highway,
Suite C, Boynton Beach, FL 33435, said the building was
built in the early 1920s. It was originally proposed as Lee
Manor Inn, and the existing building was used as a restau-
rant. Mr. Livingston gave the history of the property and
showed photographs of the existing building. As part of the
renovation of the building, they plan to incorporate some of
the stature of the building itself and also maintain the
ambiance of the site.
Mr. Livingston said the building does not meet the existing
Code. He stated that the restaurant and bar will have 175
seats. There will be 154 seats for dining and 21 bar seats.
They intend to repave and restripe their parking lot to meet
the City Code and will also add to the existing landscaping.
They will maintain the existing trees, although they will be
removing one tree. All mechanical equipment will be
screened. The compactor will be sanitized, equipped with
hot water, and screened with landscaping and a solid wood
fence to match the exterior of the building. A filtering
system will be used for the food odors as part of the
ventilating system for the kitchen. The building will have
high ceilings that wil be acoustically treated, and the
kitchen will be air-conditioned so no sounds will be leaving
the building and disturbing residences to the east.
Mr. Livingston informed the Commission that the kitchen will
close at 10:00 P. M. The last call at the bar will be at
12:00 Midnight. The family oriented restaurant will be on
the waterfront. It will not be open for lunch during the
week. However, they may open for a single lunch party on a
Saturday or Sunday. A cross parking agreement has been
negotiated with the Colonial Center, which is an office use
to the south. Colonial Center uses the parking lot until
5:00 P. M. during the week. After 5:00 P. M., the restau-
rant will use the parking lot. The applicant will not be
required to build additional parking spaces for the two
uses.
Mr. Livingston continued by saying a professional valet
service will bring all cars in from Castilla Lane and drop
off the passengers in front of the restaurant. The valet
people will bring the cars to the south, into the Colonial
Center, and they will go back out onto Federal Highway or on
the south side of the building into a stacking lane for the
patrons to leave.
Mr. Livingston understood the City Staff had spent time on
the project and there were concerns regarding glare, noise,
4
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
and odors. Mr. Livingston said they will install lighting
fixtures which will have shielding that will prevent a glare
from going out on the residential properties. The lighting
will be aimed directly onto the commercial property and
Busch's Restaurant. Buffer wall insulation will be provided
to isolate the kitchen noises and odors from the residences
to the south and to the east.
Mr. Livingston reviewed the comments from the Technical
Review Board (TRB) and said the applicant would comply with
all of the comments relating to the interior of the appli-
cant's site. The applicant intends to bring the landscaping,
drainage, and their site lighting up to Code. Based on the
financial impact, Mr. Livingston stated the applicant was
unable to agree tonight to any off site improvements, which
would include landscaping the median at U. S. 1, redoing
the drainage, lighting and landscaping in the Colonial
Center, and modifying the llth Avenue entrance that is on
Castilla Lane. The applicant is willing to do whatever is
necessary within the applicant's site.
Commissioner Aguila recalled at one point, the applicant had
considered doing work off of the immediate site. He asked
whether Mr. Livingston was now stating the applicant would
only consider work within the applicant's site. Mr.
Livingston confirmed that was correct. He added that the
applicant felt it would be unfeasible for the restaurant to
go in and do improvements off of its site. They will do any
improvements the Code requires within the site and any
requirements of the City to meet the Code on site.
Chairperson pro tem. Matson asked for comments from the
public.
In Opposition:
Henrietta Solomon, 230 N. E. 26th Avenue, would love to
have Busch's in Boynton Beach, but she felt this was not the
correct place for it. She mentioned the close proximity of
the neighboring residences and odors, Mrs. Solomon also did
not feel the location could take the traffic that would be
generated by Busch's. She felt there were other sites in
Boynton Beach where Busch's could be situated.
In Favor:
David Katz, 162 S. E. 27th Place, spoke as a resident and
as Chairman of the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board.
5
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
If a place like Busch's wants to come into the City, he felt
the City should bend over backwards to let them in. Busch's
is a high caliber restaurant. Mr. Katz alluded to going to
Busch's and finding no odor. He hoped the Commission would
allow Busch's to come in at this location.
Mario Ferazzoli, 648 Riviera Drive, lives approximately 1/2
block southeast of the proposed restaurant. He stated it
was about time the City got something to move into this area.
If the City keeps telling people they cannot put up million
dollar businesses, Mr. Ferazzoli wondered what would happen.
He referred to Stop and Go and the laundromat across the
street from the proposed restaurant and stated that a good
clientele would be going into the restaurant.
In Opposition:.
Ralph Marchese, former Mayor, 1901 S. W. Roma Way, did not
think the question was the reputation of the restaurant. He
would love to have Busch's in Boynton Beach, but he felt the
Commission owed something to the people living adjacent to
the building. Mr. Marchese emphasized this was not the
place to put a restaurant of that magnitude. He felt it was
up to the Commission to see that the taxpayers living in
that area were protected. Mr. Marchese felt the traffic
situation would be horrendous. With reference to the odors,
etc., he heard the same story before about another restau-
rant that is now out of business. The City still gets com-
plaints about the noise that was generated. Mr. Marchese
stated this is a C-1 zone that does not permit restaurants.
He urged the Commission not to change that for this use.
Cynthia Greenhouse, 618 N. E. 20th Lane, Member of the P&Z
Board, cast the sole vote to approve Busch's at this site.
She advised everyone that her vote was predicated upon the
agreement of the applicant to bring the adjacent parking lot,
as part of the shared parking arrangement, up to Code. The
parking lot is very dark. If it is going to be used at
night, it will present a dangerous situation. Ms. Greenhouse
was thinking of the health and safety of the public. Had
it been presented that the applicant did not intend to make
any off site improvements to the drainage and lighting, she
would not have voted to approve this. She wanted Busch's
to come into the City, but~ under the circumstances, Ms.
Greenhouse would not have voted as she did at the P&Z Board
meeting.
Janice (Mrs. Walter) Holly, 631Castilla Lane, read a letter
from Mr. and Mrs. Larry J. Galsky, 636 Castilla Lane. The
6
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
letter stated the property is not adequate in size for the
magnitude of Busch's Restaurant. Allowing the restaurant
without adequate parking on its own site would set a prece-
dent. The letter also referred to traffic generated by
Lucille and Otley's Restaurant, the Women's Club, Amoco gas
station, and the Pancake House. It alluded to odors, noise,
and vermin and ended by saying the Commission should
consider the present taxpayers and the value of their
property when making their decision. The letter further
said Busch's would be a nice addition to the City, but
beautiful residential areas should not be sacrificed for the
sake of one more commercial venture.
Janice (Mrs. Walter) Holly, 631Castilla Lane, presented
petitions from people living on Riviera Drive, Golf Road,
Castilla Lane, Snug Harbor, and other residents. She has
lived in the neighborhood since 1969. Mrs. Holly expressed
concerns about the parking and the bank building losing its
historic value. She was also concerned about seafood odors,
homes losing their values, the traffic flow in and out of
Castilla Lane, and 70 employees of Busch's parking on
Federal Highway. Mrs. Holly said there will be a stacking
lane on Federal Highway, leaving only one lane for people to
travel on if they did not wish to turn into Busch's. She
alluded to the inadequate parking at the Women's Club and
said people will be parking on Castilla Lane instead of
using the valet parking. Mrs. Holly asked the Commission to
consider the concerns of the residents. After the restau-
rant is built, it will be too late. Mrs. Holly asked the
Commission to deny the request.
Joan Lo Faso, 652 Castilla Lane, felt the City should pro-
vide older neighborhoods with the security they need. She
asked the Commission to look at the neighborhood, which has
sizeable, well maintained, quality homes. Many of them are
waterfront homes bordering the Intracoastal Waterway. She
felt it would be sad for the City to ignore an area of early
quality development. Ms. Lo Faso stated she would welcome
Busch's to a more appropriate location in Boynton Beach, and
she asked the Commission to deny this request. She added
that the residents must know the Commission will hold secure
the quality and integrity of their neighborhood.
Marilyn Huckle, 656 Castilla Lane, P&Z Board Member, did not
think restaurants should be approved as a conditional use in
C-1 zoning, especially if they are not related in any way to
the permitted uses. She asked the Commission not to set a
precedent for other C-1 zones in the City, all of which
7
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
abut or buffer some of the finest residential areas. Mrs.
Huckle urged the Commission not to downgrade the City's
highest, most protecting commercial category by approving
this application. The fears expressed by the property owners
tonight were what C-1 zoning was created to protect.
Mrs. Huckle named the areas C-1 zoning has protected over
the years. She quoted Commissioner Matson by saying the
Commission should be careful of precedents they might set
because they may haunt them in the future.
Alan Martincavage, Real Estate and Personal Injury Attorney,
719 S. W. 27th Terrace, whose office is located at 1200 South
Federal Highway, in the Colonial Center, wanted the Commis-
sion to know the entire business community and the entire
Colonial Center Unit Owners' Association did not support
this project. Attorney Martincavage originally supported
Busch's Restaurant, thinking Colonial Center would get to
use some 30 odd parking spaces of Busch's during the day,
and Busch's could use the Colonial Center's parking spaces
during the evening. A few weeks ago, he discovered there
would be massive expansion by Busch's. Of the existing
parking spaces, approximately all but five regular spaces
and two handicapped spaces will be taken up by the restau-
rant. Attorney Martincavage's office overlooks the parking
space. He submitted three photographs showing how the
parking spaces are now filled when it is out of season, the
bank is shut down, and several units at Colonial Center are
unoccupied. Attorney Martincavage expounded about parking
and submitted further photographs taken of the parking at
Busch's Restaurant before 5:00 P. M., when 15 or 20 cars
were parked there.
Robert Silvester, 951 Isles Road, commented about the parking
and the traffic. He said the Banyan tree in front of the
restaurant takes away one lane of traffic. If the stack up
of cars for valet parking will take a lane of traffic,
Federal Highway will be narrowed down to one lane of traffic.
If the employees park their cars on U. S. 1, that will create
another problem.
Mr. Silvester owns a restaurant in an office building. He
informed the Commission that no filters or anything else
they can do will get rid of the odors.
Shirley Stevens, 2832 S. E. 5th Circle North, #4B, President
of Los Mangos Property Owners Association, referred to the
previous Commission and said they forgot that sometimes the
most important duty of a City Commission is the protection
of the health, safety and welfare of its citizens.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING

Dr. George Huckle, 656 Castilla Lane, has lived there for
20 years. He showed the City Commission a map reflecting
how much C-1 zoning is in the City and said the C-1 zones
are more or less a buffer to residential areas. He indi-
cated the areas involved and apprised the Commission that
the area he lives in is zoned R-1AA (the highest residential
zoning in the City). Dr. Huckle presented photographs of
homes in his neighborhood.
Dr. Huckle then submitted a letter from Stewart Drummond,
659 Castilla Lane, for the record. The letter stated the
neighborhood had no objections when the strip facing Federal
Highway was zoned C-l, as it was designed for low density
office and professional uses. However, they strongly
objected to high density commrecial business intruding into
their neighborhood.
Mr. Drummond pointed out there is no other ingress or egress
to or from Castilla Lane except at the proposed site.
Impeding fire and emergency access to his home gave him
great concern. Mr. Drummond urged that the Commission deny
the application.
Dr. Huckle hoped the City Commission would follow the
recommendations of the Planning Department, the P&Z Board,
and the people living in this neighborhood.
Gary Ray, 634 Castilla Lane, is a real estate broker and
lives approximately 100 feet from the boundary of the
restaurant. He thought their neighborhood was one of the
highest assessed tax bases in the City. He added that not
one of his neighbors was for this.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Aguila stated there were a number of things
that troubled him with this location for Busch's. He was
pleased with the presentation at the P&Z Board that other
things would be done but was taken aback to find out that
was no longer the case. Commissioner Aguila said the entire
parcel should be brought up to Code. Commissioner Aguila
knew the traffic issue would not be resolved, and he
explained why. He was on the P&Z Board when C-1 zoning was
established, and he reiterated Mrs. Huckle's comments about
its intent being to create a buffer. Commissioner Aguila
did not see how this restaurant would protect the
residential area.

Chairperson pro tem. Matson referred to what the previous
Commission allowed. She had said in March she would be an
independent voice of the residents. Chairperson pro tem.
Matson took a tour of Busch's Restaurant. There were no
odors, and the noise level was down Chairperson pro tem.
Matson hoped the City Manager's office could find another
place for Busch's in Boynton Beach. She stated that Boynton
Beach is not anti-business, but it must be pro-resident.

Commissioner Aguila moved to DENY the conditional use
approval, secOnded by Commissioner Artis. Motion carried
3-0.
On behalf of the Lambrakis family, Mr. Livingston said they
may come to Boynton Beach. They would like to find a more
suitable site.
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Police
Ralph Marchese, former Mayor, 1901 S. W. Roma Way, thought
the City had a good Police Department. He told of an
elderly man who lives in his area being beaten very badly.
Mr. Marchese thanked the Police for apprehending the person
who beat the man.
As no one else wished to speak, the PUBLIC AUDIENCE was
closed.

11
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
Mr. Cutro reminded the Commission the conditional use was
before them a couple of months ago. At that time, the
applicant was looking at using the existing house on the
property as a day care center. Both the P&Z Board and the
City Commission approved the site plan as well as the
conditional use. The applicant now has to expand the build-
ing dramatically to meet State standards. The P&Z recom-
mended approval of this, and the TRB also recommended
approval. Mr. Cutro stressed this was only an approval of
the site plan. At the request of the P&Z Board, the four
individuals who had attended both the P&Z Board and the City
Commission meetings were notified in writing.
Considering the fact that the existing building is being
torn down and a new one is being built, Chairman pro tem.
Matson wondered whether this would have to be advertised.
Mr. Cutro answered, "No." He added he will have suggestions
regarding this when Chapter 19 is rewritten.
No one was present to represent the applicant, which made
Commissioner Aguila uncomfortable about suggesting minor
changes to the site plan. City Manager Miller advised they
could be incorporated as part of the motion or the item
could be tabled.
Modifications
Commissioner Aguila made the following suggestions:
On S. E. 22nd Avenue, there is a two way entrance. Two
parking spaces end without a landscape island. Commissioner
Aguila wanted to see a landscape island at the end of that
parking stall. He wanted the same thing on the other side
of the two spaces. It will be coming out to an angle, so
the very last space to the west will have a slight backup
space. Commissioner Aguila suggested the applicant follow
along the street at an angle and then cut in. That would
allow for better landscaping. By going straight up first,
there will be five more feet of asphalt. By going five feet
to the left, a backup space for the last car will be created.
The applicant can then come in from an angle and create the
island.
Discussion
Chairperson pro tem. Matson was hesitant about moving this
along until she was sure the residents knew what was going
on. She wanted Mr. Harold Blanchette to be present and
wanted the residents within 400 feet to be notified.

Chairperson pro tem. Matson passed the gavel to Commissioner
Aguila and moved to TABLE the request. Commissioner Artis
seconded the motion.
Chairperson pro tem. Matson explained this was not a denial;
she just felt the residents should be notified, and she did
not feel two weeks would hurt anything. A vote was taken on
the motion, and the motion carried 3-0.
After further comments, it was decided residents within 400
feet of the project should be notified.
2. Citrus Glen - Request for Time Extension - Miner Road/
Lawrence Road to NE corner of Citrus Glen's property
Gene Fernandez, representing Citrus Glen, 8300 Lawrence
Road, Boynton Beach, stated he is one of the partners in the
joint venture. They were requesting an extension on their
commitment to build Miner Road until they could figure out a
way to get the missing link built. He explained their
commitment. Chairperson pro tem. Matson advised the City
had previously granted Citrus Glen a one year extension.
Vincent Finizio, Administrative Coordinator of Engineering,
stated that when Felix Granados and Gene Fernandez platted
their property, a condition of the approval was that they
construct Miner Road from Lawrence Road to the northeast
corner of their property. They provided the City with a
performance bond, which is still active and in full force,
that guaranteed and assured construction of the road. Their
position is they do not want to build their portion until
Gene B. Glick Companies, which is responsible for the missing
link, builds its portion. Roads are built in segments, and
Mr. Finizio did not feel that was a very good argument.
They have now had almost three years in which to build the
road, and they received impact fees from the County for all
of the residences, based upon the construction of Miner
Road which has not yet been constructed.
The Engineering Department recommended that the City Commis-
sion deny the developer's request for a time extension. Mr.
Finizio informed the Commission that the City is pursuing
Gene B. Glick because the City wants to connect Congress
Avenue with Lawrence Road so Fire Station ~3 can better
serve the western portions of the community. A letter went
out to Mr. Glick demanding $130,000 or commencement of the
13
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
construction of Miner Road in conjunction with Palm Beach
County.
W. Richard Staudinqer, P. E., Gee & Jenson, Consulting
Engineers, understood after discussions with the developers
of Citrus Glen that there may be some other options to be
pursued. While the 12 month extension expires on June 5,
1991, the City needs the road for emergency access by the
Fire Station.
Chairperson pro tem. Matson noted there was a letter from
the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) stating that the
L-20 Canal right-of-way is being used as a connector road.
It is a dangerous situation, and LWDD will not accept the
liability that currently exists. Mr. Staudinger did not
know whether the liability situation had been cleared up.
He advised that the LWDD also sent a letter indicating they
had placed a locked gate across the western end of the
right-of-way near Lawrence Road to keep the public out of
the right-ofway. Mr. Staudinger understood the right-of-way
was also used by the City of Boynton Beach Utilities
Department to access the 3 million gallon storage tank.
Chairperson pro tem. Matson said there was also a letter
from Roland Foster, 3890 Ocala Road, Lantana, FL 33462,
saying carloads of teenagers are riding along the canal.
Mr. Foster is afraid one of the cars will lose control and
wind up at the bottom of the canal. Chairperson pro tem.
Matson felt that would also be a liability to the City.
She was concerned about the present stacking problem where
Miner Road meets Congress Avenue, where Congress Avenue is
not going to be widened. Chairperson pro tem. Matson was
also concerned that fire trucks will not be able to utilize
Miner Road. Being a matter of life and death, one minute
can make a difference. Mr. Staudinger responded that was a
strong concern the City had.
Charles Walker, Director of Palm Beach Traffic Engineering
Division, stated they have worked very closely with the
City over the years on Miner Road. They have worked with
developers to get it through. Miner Road is part of the
County's thoroughfare plan and part of the City's plan as
part of being a major circulating road in this area. Mr.
Walker urged the City to pursue the construction of the
road, and he offered any cooperation the County could give
towards the project.
City Attorney Cherof apprised the Commission that City
Manager Miller, Mr. Finizio, Mr. Staudinger, and he met this

afternoon with representatives of Citrus Glen to discuss
the request for extension. One proposal to negate their
necessity for asking for an extension would be that Citrus
Glen would undertake doing the improvements for the missing
link (Glick's portion) at their cost'as well as their own
portion. Within a two year time period, the City could
come back and either pursue Mr. Glick or his bond for
reimbursement of the out of pocket expense by Citrus Glen.
City Attorney Cherof stated it was an unusual proposal, but
he thought it was worth exploring. However, he thought it
would require a comprehensive agreement between the City and
Citrus Glen. Chairperson pro tem. Matson asked who was
leading the City into negotiations on behalf of the
developer. City Attorney Cherof replied that Mr. Hernandez
and both Mr. Granados, Jr. and Mr. Granados, Sr. were at the
meeting.
Mr. Finizio interjected that a condition of approval of the
Planned Unit Development (PUD) was that Citrus Glen would
build Miner Road. He stressed that the City should enforce
its Codes fairly and not take upon itself a promise to pay
the $130,000 within two years. Mr. Finizio thought it was a
large risk liability on behalf of the City. The City has to
compel Citrus Glen to build its portion and pursue Gene B.
Glick Companies to build its portion. Mr. Finizio asked why
the City should become a surety company for both Glick and
Citrus Glen.
City Manager Miller advised there were extenuating circum-
stances involving the development. The City has a self
supporting fire station, and he was concerned that the
emergency vehicles have to head north to Hypoluxo Road or
south to N. W. 22nd Avenue to get to areas on Lawrence Road
when they should be heading directly west on Miner Road.
City Manager Miller felt it was the City's responsibility.
The City must do what it can to get the missing link
constructed. City Manager Miller referred to past assur-
ances that were given to the developers by the past admini-
stration. He did not want this to go to litigation becauSe
the City will be fighting it in the Courts, and the missing
link will not be constructed.
Commissioner Artis asked how much time Mr. Glick would have
before he would be asking for an extension. Mr. Finizio
answered that within ten days of the receipt of the City's
letter, Mr. Glick should send $130,000 or commence construc-
tion of his portion of the road within 30 days. He esti-
mated the road could be constructed within two months.
15
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
Mr. Finizio informed Commissioner Aguila the land was
originally farm land, and it was zoned to be a PUD. The
condition of the zoning approval was that Miner Road be
constructed. This was provided to the City through a master
plan which depicts Miner Road. The agreement was that the
road would be constructed around 1988. Mr. Glick has not
done that. After comments by Commissioner Aguila and
Commissioner Artis, Mr. Finizio stated it was his under-
Standing that if Mr. Glick objects to the letter he sent
today, the City would have legal recourse. There was
discussion about Miner Road. Mr. Finizio informed
Commissioner Aguila that the City has a $54,000 bond from
Gene B. Glick Companies.
City Attorney Cherof explained to Commissioner Aguila that
the proposal he previously mentioned was an outline proposal,
which he thought warranted further examination. The propos-
al would be that Citrus Glen would withdraw its request for
an extension, commence the construction of its portion of
the road, and undertake, at its expense, the missing link
portion. In return, the City would represent to Citrus Glen
that within a two year time period they would be reimbursed
for the cost of the missing link either through recovery of
an action against GliCk or through some other source. City
Attorney Cherof was not advocating that as a method the City
should use. He was suggesting the City would have nothing
to lose tonight by either approving or disapproving the
request for an extension, but they would potentially have
something to gain by authorizing the City Staff and him to
see if they could negotiate an acceptable agreement where
Citrus Glen would undertake the complete construction of
Miner Road in a manner which would expose the City to no
risk or limited risk. The City Commission could approve
that at some future date.
After comments by Commissioner Aguila, City Attorney Cherof
thought there were several alternatives to the City guaran-
teeing to pay the money back that could be proposed to the
developer. Some of that would be the assignment of the
City's interest in the bond, so Citrus Glen could proceed
against its neighbor. City Attorney Cherof stated there was
no time to get into the details or to analyze and negotiate
it today. If the Commission would give them the time, he
thought the City Staff and he could come back to the City
Commission with something that would get the road built,
which is the City's objective, and which would get it done
quickly rather than litigating against Citrus Glen and Glick
for several years and having no road.
16
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
commissioner Artis asked what the possibility would be for
the City to construct the road. After explaining about an
$80,000 shortfall and the City's finances, City Manager
Miller stated he did not think the City should get involved
in building roads the developers should build. It would be
a very bad precedent. City Manager Miller wanted the
missing link constructed because of the City's responsi-
bility for providing fire and EMS protection to that area.
The City has declared that Fire Station ~3 is operational,
and that means every route those trucks go to has to be as
direct as possible.
Cynthia Greenhouse, 618 N. E. 20th Lane, did not want to
see the issue clouded by emergency vehicles, minutes, life
and death. She wanted the City Commission to understand
what was going on. Ms. Greenhouse understood Gene Moore
(former Mayor) represents Felix Granados of Citrus Glen.
She thought, after reviewing Sec. 4-1.9, Conflict of
Interest, Code of Professional Responsibility, the City
Attorney should make a determination as to whether or not
Attorney Moore would have a conflict of interest in repre-
senting the developer in a potential or threatened lawsuit
against the City.
Ms. Greenhouse also wanted the Commission to understand
that Mr. Granados presently has with the City a $280,000
bond. A portion of that is surety to guarantee that his
portion of the missing link will be constructed. As of
June 4 or June 5, 1991, his time will be up. The City can
call the bond and build the road. Ms. Greenhouse explained
the $130,000 proposal and emphasized that the City would be
guaranteeing to pay Citrus Glen $130,000 of taxpayers'
monies. The only other monies there could be are impact
fees the County has collected that should be going to build
another road in the City. Ms. Greenhouse said the
Commission had to realize the financial gain Mr. Glick
obtained by having his land rezoned from Agriculture to PUD.
No one wants litigation, but Ms. Greenhouse said the City
can require Mr. Granados to build his portion of the road
now. The City has the bond money in case Mr. Granados does
not want to do that, and the City can accomplish that task
at no cost to the taxpayers. If Mr. Glick does not build
the road, the City can go after him. If the City does not
go after Mr. Glick now, two years from now (after the City
has pledged $130,000 of taxpayers' money), Mr. Glick can
sell the property to whomever he chooses. Ms. Greenhouse
warned the Commission they would not be preventing litiga-
tion by answering to any such agreement. She stated all
17
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
they would be doing would be taking $130,000 of the tax-
payers' money and giving it to somebody to construct the
road they are already obligated to construct a portion of.
Ms. Greenhouse continued by saying Mr. Granados has had 21
months to construct the road. He has already had one year's
extension, and he now wants another extension. The City
should force him to construct his portion of the road now.
The City has nothing to gain by granting an extension to
Mr. Granados. Ms. Greenhouse also pointed out that the
condition of approval given to Mr. Glick runs with the land.
Unless it is recorded, any one Mr. Glick sells the land to
may be able to take the land as an instant purchaser, and
the City may not be able to hold Mr. Glick to it. If the
condition of approval is not yet recorded, Ms. Greenhouse
suggested the City might want to get it recorded.
Maurice Rosenstock, 1 Villa Lane, speaking as Chairman of
the P&Z Board, commented that the City had placed itself
in a dilemma by not strictly holding developers to what
they promised to do. After elaborating about developers,
he said the City is never going to get the missing section
of the road built unless the City firms up its positions.
Mr. Rosenstock inquired why, in this case, the County should
give the City money when the City is not even trying to get
the money from the developer. After expounding, he urged
the Commission to take a stand, sue, find out whether the
developers are going to build or not, and then take the next
step.
Mr. Fernandez clarified that Citrus Glen was supposed to
build 1,800 feet of Miner Road coming from Lawrence Road
towards the east. There is a missing link that is approxi-
mately 1,200 feet, which they have nothing to do with. If
Citrus Glen builds its road tomorrow, in a week the City's
fire engines still will not be able to use the road because
of the 1,200 feet of dirt and grass. All they will be
creating is a dead end road 1,800 feet, east of Miner Road,
for people to park, jump the wall, and rob the citizens of
Citrus Glen. In 1988, the road was to be built. Mr.
Fernandez said he wants to work with the City. Citrus Glen
will build the whole road, but they do not want to build a
road to nowhere and create a crime problem.
Mr. Rosenstock did not think it was the developer's choice.
The developer should do what he obligated himself to do and
build the road.

"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON

THIS CONTRACT AND BID NO. 036-722-91/VSMG; A COPY OF SAID
AGREEMENT IS ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT 'A'; AND PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE"
Mot i on
Commissioner Artis moved for the adoption of proposed
Resolution No. 91-88. Commissioner Aguila seconded the
motion.
Commissioner Aguila noticed the difference between the high
bid and the low bid. He was concerned that the low bid
might be too low. After explaining his concern, he added
that they may be so low they may not be able to afford to
purchase necessary chemicals and provide the maintenance the
City is expecting. City Manager Miller responded that the
City is required to go with the lowest bidder. The low
bidder is doing work for the Palm Beach County School Board,
and they have had no problems with the work. Should the
City have problems with Tare Landscape, the City will go
through the process of notification. If the performance
is not raised, the contract will be given to the next lowest
bidder.
City Manager Miller explained there are possibly five or six
unfilled full-time positions in the Parks Department, so the
City is turning these over for contract work. The contracts
are a lot less than what the City has to pay employees for
their time and benefits.
A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 3-0.

Commissioner Aguila moved for the adoption of proposed
Resolution No. R91-89. Commissioner Artis seconded the
motion.
Commissioner Artis questioned whether there were other
companies that carry the liability insurance the City needs.
City Manager Miller replied there are a few, but only two or
three get involved. Zambelli Fireworks usually comes in
with the lowest bid. City Manager Miller added the City has
to make sure the company hires technical individuals who are
licensed to set off the fireworks. Chairperson pro tem.
Matson called attention to the time factor.
A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 3-0.

OLD BUSINESS
A. North Federal Highway Median Landscaping Project
City Manager Miller said Recreation & Park Memorandum
~91-188 dated May 13, 1991 gave the City Commission an up-
date on the expense of this project. The City is planning
to put in landscaping. City Manager Miller believed there

were eight to ten islands between the C-16 Canal up to north
of N. E. and N. W. 22nd Avenue. The City was awaiting the
Department of Transportation's (DOT's) completion of the TV
survey of the drainage lines. DOT's storm drain lines are
down the middle of U. S. 1. Some areas have severe infiltra-
tion, causing sink holes in the median areas, and correc-
tions must be effected. City Manager Miller hoped DOT could
tell the City exactly where the bad areas are in the next
several months. In the meantime, the City wanted to process
the application for landscaping. City Manager Miller asked
for authorization to go forward with the amount of $6,352
from the Community Improvement Fund for this project.
Motion
Commissioner Aguila moved to authorize the City Manager to
go forward with the project, seconded by Commissioner Artis.
Cynthia Greenhouse asked how much time they were looking at.
City Manager Miller explained that the DOT is going to get
involved with reconfigurations between the C-16 Canal and
N. 22nd Avenue. It would be ludicrous for the City to put
landscaping in those areas where the DOT is getting
involved, so the City designed a plan around the DOT's
plans for the median configuration. Charles Frederick,
Director of Recreation and Parks, advised that the City
should get the TV surveys in 90 days. City Manager Miller
reiterated the problems the City has incurred and further
explained what the City plans to do.
Ms. Greenhouse asked how long it will take for the applica-
tion to be processed. She heard it would take at least two
years. City Manager Miller replied that Vincent Finizio,
Administrative Coordinator of Engineering, has been very
instrumental in getting permits through. Ms. Greenhouse
wanted to know how long it would be before she would see
trees in the medians. City Manager Miller hoped the City
would be in a position to plant trees within the next four
or five months.
Ms. Greenhouse inquired what type of approval process they
would have to go through with the State in order to do that.
City Manager Miller answered that an application for land-
scaping medians is an easy one to get involved with. He
referred to projects where the City has been very successful
in getting permits. Ms. Greenhouse named cities that are
taking plantings from their nurseries for their medians.
City Manager Miller informed her they get permits for that.

Hedge at FEC Railroad Tracks
Ms. Greenhouse noticed a short Australian Pine hedge north
of the C-16 Canal, which hides the FEC railroad tracks from
Federal Highway. She stated there are large sections where
there are gaps in the hedge. After discussion about the
agreement between the FEC Railway and the City, Sea Grapes,
the FEC tracks, Federal Highway, and the City's nursery,
Mr. Frederick said the City nursery has some Red Cedar that
can be used to fill in the gaps.
Median Landscaping (Continued)
Chairperson pro tem. Matson asked for a time frame as to
when the medians will be done. Mr. Frederick replied the
City will have the application and the permit long before
the TV work is done by the DOT. He stated the City could
get approval on all of the projects in two to four weeks.
Chairperson pro tem. Matson stated she would like to know
when the Queen Palms go out to bid.
A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 3-'0.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Arline Weiner
1. Project Mosaic - request for funding
City Manager Miller explained to the Commission that any
dollars Project Mosaic obtains will be matched by the John
D. and Catherine T. McArthur Foundation. The deadline for
this is May 31, 1991. Memo No. 91-028W, dated May 16, 1991,
from Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant City Manager, recommended
a contribution of $1,000. City Manager Miller informed the
Commission that this money would be coming from the
Publicity account of the Boynton Beach G.A.L.A. He elabor-
ated about the success of G.A.L.A. this year and the
importance of Project Mosaic.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve a donation of $1,000 to
Project Mosaic, seconded by Commissioner Artis. Motion
carried 3-0.
Tara Brescia, Project Mosaic, 1555 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd.,
Suite ~416, West Palm Beach, FL 33401, thanked the
Commission. She briefly explained the purpose of Project
Mosaic and asked people in the audience to volunteer their
time.
33
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
B. Items for discussion requested by
Commissioner Lynne Matson
1. Under $100,000 administrative approval policy
Because of the absence of Mayor Weiner and Vice Mayor
Harmening, Chairman pro tem. Matson TABLED this item.
C. Consider a license agreement for individual property
owner to pave City right-of-way
City Manager Miller apprised the Commission that Michael H.
and Angelo A. Agnello had requested additional parking in
the right-of-way area of their property at 214 N. W. 3rd
Street. The request was denied by the City Commission.
Mr. Agnello was now requesting a license agreement so he
could use the City right-of-way adjoining his property for
two new parking spaces, which were constructed without a
permit. Mr. Agnello needs the parking spaces for his
business to be successful. City Manager Miller reminded
the Commission of the precedent they would be setting if
they approved the agreement, and he expressed his concern
about paving right-of-way areas. City Manager Miller
further referred to the Clean Water Act, which was enacted
by the Federal Legislators.
After elaborating about the Clean Water Act, City Manager
Miller explained why the City would fall under the require-
ments of the Act and must get involved with pretreatment.
Pretreatment means the City cannot discharge rain water that
hits the pavement. The best water pretreatment is percola-
tion in the swales. If the swale areas of the City are
taken away, the City's ability to percolate water will be
diminished. City Manager Miller alluded to other cities
that had allowed swales to be paved and who now must have
the paved areas cut out. He also referred to the City
looking at its Codes for the downtown area and thought this
matter might be addressed that way, but he did not feel
approval of the license agreement was the answer.
No one was present to represent the Agnellos.
Commissioner Aguila moved to DENY the license agreement,
seconded by Commissioner Artis. Motion carried 3-0.
D. Authorization to bid towing service for City of Boynton
Beach and authorization to extend current towing contract
for two (2) months
Commissioner Aguila suggested the Commission approve the
extension of the current towing contract for two months, but
34

he wanted the part about the City going to bid tabled. He
wanted the City to study what its neighboring cities have
done and consider a rotation system. City Manager Miller
wished to include in the study cities further south, such as
Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca
Raton. He stated that Lantana and Lake Worth have unique
rotating. Other cities such as West Palm Beach have other
types of agreements. Commissioner Aguila wanted'this
studied because there are a lot of competent, towing
companies in the City, and he wanted the City to share some
business with them rather than with just one low bidder.
City Manager Miller gave Commissioner Artis an example of
a rotating system. He said Lantana and Lake Worth get
involved with three classifications because some small tow-
ing companies do not have heavy tow trucks to carry whatever
is heavier. That means people in the Communications Depart-
ment will be sitting with three lists and making calls.
City Manager Miller further explained rotating systems. He
wanted to be sure service would be provided to the residents
and that everyone would be charged within a monetary frame-
work. There was further discussion about a rotating system.
City Manager Miller told Commissioner Aguila there are pros
and cons about a rotating system. The towing companies
would like to express the positives. City Manager Miller
stated he wants to express some of his concerns for the
Communications and the Police Departments. He also will
provide comments from other cities.
Mot i on
Commissioner Aguila moved to TABLE bidding for future towing.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion, and the motion
carried 3-0.
Mot i on
Commissioner Aguila moved to extend the contract with
Zuccala Wrecker Service for two months, seconded by
Commissioner Artis.
Commissioner Artis questioned whether two months would be
sufficient time. City Manager Miller felt two months was
adequate time.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 21, 1991
A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 3-0.
E. Community Relations Board funding recommendations
The recommendations were outlined in Memo No. 91-029W, dated
May 17, 1991, from Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City
Manager. Shirley Jaskiewicz, Chairwoman of the CRB, told
the Commission the CRB reviewed all of the applications and
personally interviewed the applicants. In many cases,
Members of the CRB visit the facilities. The CRB's
recommendations were far under the total requests ($101,000).
Ms. Jaskiewicz said the CRB's budget was about $20,000.
The CRB is holding between $1,700 or $2,000 in the event an
emergency occurs where an applicant should receive more
money.
Commissioner Aguila moved to accept the recommendations of
the CRB. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion.
Commissioner Aguila questioned why the request from the
Kiwanis Club of Boynton Beach was tabled until the CRB's
June meeting. He inquired whether they would be in jeopardy
of not getting any funds. Ms. Jaskiewicz explained that the
Kiwanis Club had been tabled because they had not been person-
nally interviewed. They will not be in jeopardy of
receiving funds.
A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 3-0.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT

B. Ratification of Edward Dully as the 5th member of the
Fire Pension Board
Per State Statute 175.061, Commissioner Artis moved,
seconded by Commissioner Aguila, to ratify the appointment
of Edward Dully.
C. Returned Check Charge
City Manager Miller said the City averages 35 uncollectible
checks a month. According to Florida Statute 166.251, the
City can adopt a service fee of $15.
Commissioner Aguila moved that the City proceed to have an
Ordinance drawn up adopting a service fee of $15 for each
uncollectible check. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion,
and the motion carried 3-0.
D. Consider approval of emergency purchase of 4MM unattended
backup for AS/400 Computer System
City Manager Miller told of what is called a "head crash"
occurring with the City's data processing. A backup system
could be purchased from Diskomp Computer Sales, Fort
Lauderdale, FL, at a cost of $19,300, and funds are available
in the Computer Reserve Account. City Manager Miller stated
it was felt the head crash was caused by the extreme fluctu-
ation of the temperature in the room where the system is.
Michael L. Munro, Data Processing Director, explained what
occurred when the head crash happened and what work was
involved in restoring the system.
Commissioner Aguila asked what the City was doing to prevent
a head crash from happening again. City Manager Miller
replied it was an air conditioning problem, and the City is
working on that. Mr. Munro told how this purchase would aid
the City and why it was needed.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve.the emergency purchase
of the 4MM unattended backup for the AS/400 Computer System
from Diskomp Computer Sales for $19,300. Commissioner Artis
seconded the motion, and the motion carried 3-0.

Cherof recommended that be inserted before the City Manager

stand with the clarification that there was no time change
for the extension. Commissioner Artis seconded the amend-
ment to the motion, and the motion carried 3-0.
