Commissioner Olenik noted development plans that have unani-
mous approval have always been put under the CONSENT AGENDA.
Now that the CONSENT AGENDA is approved at the end of the
meeting, he thought it might be a good idea to have all
development plans heard at the beginning of the meeting. If
they've been unanimously approved by all boards, the

LA~D USE ELEMENT AMENDMENT: Request
to amend the Future Land Use Element
of the Comprehensive Plan from
"Recreational" to "Moderate Density
Residential" pursuant to Stipulation
and Settlement Agreement.
Tim Cannon, Interim Planning Director explained this is a
one acre City park site which is currently located in the
middle of the Woolbright Place PUD. As per the
Comprehensive Plan and the Settlement Stipulation, the
applicant was proposing to relocate this acreage to another
portion of Lake Boynton Estates. Reference was made to the
June 5, 1990 Commission meeting when the Commission reviewed
an L-shaped parcel proposed for dedication to the City. The
parcel is located between Lake Boynton Estates and
Leisureville. The Commission approved agreement was to
allow the applicant to dedicate property on that piece of
property as opposed to on the PUD itself. Mr. Cannon stated
the Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval.
Mayor Moore asked if there was anyone present in the
audience who wished to comment on this. As there was no
response from the audience, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
City Attorney Cherof stated this does meet the intent and
letter of the Stipulation Agreement.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the request.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which carried 4-1.
Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion.
It was announced that a Public Hearing will be held after
this land use amendment is reviewed by the DCA. It will
probably be held in November or December of 1990. It will
be advertised.

LAND USE ELEMENT AMENDMENT: Request
for rezoning of a 5.1871 acre parcel
from Planned Unit Development (PUD

Development (PCD) pursuant to
Stipulation and Settlement Agreement.
Mr. Cannon explained this parcel lies along the northern
boundary of the PCD. This property is necessary in order to
allow the square footage which was part of the enhancements
in the final settlement between the City and Tradewinds.
The property is already shown as Local Retail Commercial
in the Future Land Use Plan and is consistent with the land
use and the Stipulation and Settlement Agreement. The
Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval.
Mayor Moore asked if there was any public input on this
item. As there was no response from the audience, THE
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
City Attorney Cherof stated this does meet the intent and

Jim Golden, Senior Planner stated items E. and F. would be
presented together as their issues are similar. The
Planning & Zoning Board had voted to approve items E. and F.
That approval was subject to staff comments and continued
negotiation of the developer's agreement with the affected
property owners.
Staff recommended denial, the basis of which was outlined in
the staff report. Mr. Golden explained the specific reasons
for staff's recommendation for denial. The County had pro-

"Medium Density Residential" and to
rezone from PUD w/LUI=4 to PUD

of 192 multi-family dwelling units
and a church.
Mr. Golden proceeded to address the Tara Oaks PUD project.
This residential project is somewhat related to the Boynton
Beach Blvd. PCD and Knuth Road PCD projects. Mr. Kieran
Kilday of Kilday & Associates stated at the beginning of his
presentation he would address general issues which would
carry over to all three projects. These are different pro-
jects, however, and should be considered separately.
Mr. Golden explained the Planning & Zoning Board voted to
approve this request, subject to staff comments and the
Comprehensive Plan Amendment which incorporate the con-

ditions of approval to mitigate the impacts. Staff recom-
mended approval, but with a lower land use category, namely,
moderate density residential instead of medium density which
had been requested by the applicant.
Correspondence had been received from the County Traffic
Engineer, which indicated the Traffic Study did comply with
the County Ordinance. Reference was made to a memorandum
prepared by the City Forester which addressed the gopher
tortoise issue, of which a significant population exists on
the site. The question had been raised as to whether these
should be preserved on the site or relocated. Mr. Golden
noted no site existed for relocation of the population.
Vice Mayor Wische asked why the Commission was just being
advised of the gopher tortoise situation. Mr. Golden
responded the Comprehensive Plan required the developer to
hire a consultant to do an environmental analysis, including
endangered species. This is done prior to development and
hasn't taken place in this instance yet. Staff will
generally do a preliminary reconnaissance even though they
do not have full expertise on staff to do these studies.
Mr. Golden didn't recall this coming up when the original
PUD was approved. Discussion ensued.
City Manager Miller pointed out the environmental concerns
have to be met before developmental orders can be issued by
the City. To have a developer undertake studies at his own
expense prior to the site plan process can end up being a
heavy cost as well as burden the whole process.
Mr. Cannon remarked discussion had taken place with the
applicant and he felt they had arrived at a way to allow for
preservation of the population on the site.
Discussion took place about the difference between moderate
and medium density for the project. Relative to calculation
of the density, Mr. Golden stated it would be 9.68 for the
entire PUD which would include the church site and the water
tracts south of S.W. Congress Blvd. The actual density,
since they are putting all the units north of S.W. Congress
Blvd. would be higher.
Mr. Kieran Kilday proceeded to address the locations of
items E., F. and G. He produced numerous maps of the area
and stated they were in the process of consolidating the
parcels to bring them into the City in the next few months.
He pointed out where one of the parcels was wrapped by
existing City boundaries. Another parcel abutts City pro-
perty on its east line. AS such, these parcels normally
would be annexed when they came in for any sort of water
service agreement.

Mr. Kilday made available a synopsis of each project which
provided the response the developer had produced on the
Planning concerns of staff. A fact sheet on the projected
tax revenues was also made available as well as information
on employment estimates. Also provided was an updated, exe-
cuted agreement between Stonehaven Homeowners Association
and Messrs. Winchester and Schroeder. Between 107 and 109
property owners had signed in support of this agreement.
It was noted that all three of the projects abutt Stonehedge
PUD or Banyan Creek. Mr. Kilday referred to an effort to
provide mitigation where the projects would abutt those
residential developments. He stated the conditions offered
in the executed agreement were being offered as conditions
of any approval at this meeting. Not only would they be
between the two parties but Mr. Kilday stated they would
have the force of the City.
Remarks were made about Stonehaven Drive. The residents
currently have a problem related to one existing shortcut
which exists to avoid the intersection. Up until the
current time, the Fire and rescue services had said it's
good to have an alternative. In the agreement, the deve-
loper was agreeing to build all of Knuth Rd. from where it
terminates to Woolbright Rd. Once this is done, there is no
good reason for people to be cutting through neighborhoods.
Based on this, the homeowners were interested in privitizing
their roads.
Mr. Kilday proceeded to make specific comments on the three
individual projects:
Boynton Beach Boulevard PCD
In laying out the site, the main concern was that the acti-
vity areas, signage and lights all be toward the
intersection which is already commercialized. In doing
that, service ends up at the rear of the buildings. To
accommodate that, Mr. Kilday stated they tried to keep the
buildings away from certain areas as well as provided signi-
ficant buffered areas. The buffered areas would be a mini-
mum of 25' wide. Within that space, a 4' high berm would be
built up with a 6' wall on top of the berm. If the deve-
loper can obtain appropriate approval, they had agreed to
put barbed wire on the back wall. They had agreed to pro-
Vide a landscape program, including a street scape program
on both sides of the projectl Mr. Kilday stated they would
provide an access easement to provide access to the Post
Office.
Mayor Moore requested input from the public.

Mr. Roger Bennett, President of Stonehaven Homeowners Assoc.
stated 109 of the 166 homeowners in his development were in
favor of the three projects as presented and as a whole
agreement. He referred to efforts made to mitigate impact.
By supporting these projects, Mr. Bennett felt the residents
had a chance to control what is around their community.
Remarks were made about the zoning and negative possibili-
ties that Mr. Bennett felt existed if this were not
approved. Other remarks were made by Mr. Bennett about pri-
vitization and traffic problems which have existed. Mr.
Bennett polled the Commissioners on how they individually
felt about the privitization. Most of the Commissioners
responded favorably, so long as the Fire and Police Depts.
accessibility and safety concerns were met.
Discussion took place among the Commissioners on how to
organize the input from the public and time limits on
speaking. It was noted on each of the three projects, a
total of 30 minutes would be allowed. This would include 10
minutes for the developer's presentation, ten minutes for
those in favor to speak and ten minutes for those in opposi-
tion to speak.
Cormac Conahan, representing Boynton JCP, owners of the
Boynton Beach Mall produced a letter expressing objection to
all three amendments. He stated they would address this
topic again when the projects come back for another hearing,
after DCA review. Mr. Conahan didn't think this was before
the Commission in a timely fashion. He felt traffic impacts
in certain intersections do not support the proposal at this
time and it was inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
as well as County and State provisions. He referred to
other development which is way ahead of this in terms of
already approved projects, which will impact the traffic
issues.
Mr. W. Mark Barry, Vice President of North American
Acquisition Corp. addressed the Commission. He stated they
were an investment company and were the owners of the
Boynton Plaza which is the Publix shopping center at the
corner of Boynton Beach Blvd. and Congress Ave. Mr. Barry
was in opposition to Agenda items E. and F. (the two
shopping centers). He felt additional retail development
would bring hardship to existing tenants of shopping centers
in the area. He referred to an over supply of retail space
and vacancy rates. Comments were made about excess retail
development impairing future development in the community,
including the redevelopment of the downtown area.
Barbara Alterman, Assistant Palm Beach County Attorney
stated she didn't intend to speak for or against the appli-
- 8 -

cations but she needed to bring something to the
Commission's attention. The Municipal Implementation
Ordinance was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners
on February 1, 1990. That Ordinance requires that any
application must be complete prior to February 1, 1990, in
order for a project to be considered exempt from the 1990
Traffic Performance Standards. Based on the County's
understanding, the application for this project may not have
been complete prior to February 1, 1990. Therefore, the two
shopping center projects would not be considered "previous
approval" and would be subject to the 1990 Traffic
Performance Standards.
Mayor Moore asked Tim Cannon, Interim Planning Director if
this application had been filed timely. Mr. Cannon
responded they were filed timely. The question is how you
define complete. They found the applications to be substan-
tially complete and went ahead and started processing. They
did make a list of items that were missing. The applicant
and County were provided with that list. Mr. Cannon stated
in their judgement, the applications were complete enough to
start processing them. They considered them to be complete.
Ms. Alterman noted nothing had been submitted officially yet
to Palm Beach County. At such time as the City approved a
development order on these projects, the City was required
under the Ordinance to submit to the County a previous
approval determination, if so desired. Then the County had
a certain amount of time to evaluate and determine whether
it agreed with the determination or if they wished to
challenge it. Ms. Alterman had spoken to Mr. Kilday who had
indicated the developer really couldn't take a 30 day post-
ponement. The County requested a condition be added to any
development order the City might approve, that would state
if not found to be a previous approval, the developer would
have to meet the traffic performance standards for 1990.
The Mayor asked if the County arbitrarily and unilaterally
makes that decision. Ms. Alterman replied they do not. She
stated, according to the Ordinance, guidelines are set forth
and if necessary, there could be a challenge.
Discussion took place on the definition of complete as
defined in the Ordinance. Ms. Alterman was present to alert
the Commission to the fact that there was information which
indicated the applications may not have been complete in
time. They were not making that determination at this
point. She asked the Commission to consider that when they
were considering approval.
Mr. Phil Leslie, President of COBRA didn't feel these plans
conformed with the City or County Comprehensive Plans, nor

COBRA's recommended growth control. He stated there was no
need for these projects as the Boynton Beach Mall was just a
short distance away and there were numerous other shopping
centers in the area. Remarks were made about negative
~mpacts on residential areas such as increased traffic,
noise, litter, etc. Mr. Leslie referred to some nearby
residents expressing support for these projects and the fact
that the developer was willing to spend a considerable
amount of money doing certain things for those subdivisions.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CONCLUDED on Boynton Beach Blvd. PCD.
It was announced that an advertised Public Hearing will be
meld after the land use amendment is reviewed by the DCA.
Discussion took place with Mr. Kilday about the applications
having been submitted prior to February 1, 1990 and Mr.
Kilday remarked they were deemed to have been complete
applications. Mr. Kilday referred to a lag in time in the
City getting its concurrency ordinance and the County sub-
sequently not receiving an important list of projects from
the City.
Commissioner Olenik asked if the Commission approved this
project, would they be placing the Sears project further in
jeopardy relative to the Traffic Performance Standards
Ordinance enacted February 1, 19907 He noted the Regional
Planning Council had objected to the project based on traf-
fic impacts. The City was taking the matter to the Governor
and his cabinet for an appeal. He asked how County staff
would perceive this. Ms. Alterman did not believe any
approval on this project would affect the DRI project. She
repeated if this is a complete application, the 1990 stan-
dards would not apply to it. If it was not a complete
application, these projects would have to comply with the
new standards. It would not affect the DRI in any way.
Ms. Alterman understood the application had been filed on
January 31, 1990. The Ordinance went into effect the next
day. She thought there was certain scrutiny that goes on
and she stated there had been indications from staff on both
sides that there may be some problems with the application.
In response to a question raised, Mr. Cannon noted if the
application was found to not have been completed in a timely
fashion, and they had to adhere to the 1990 standards, this
would mean the developer would have to make additional
improvements to some of the roadway links or possibly reduce
the square footage of the projects.
Mayor Moore was concerned that the County was raising this
issue so late in the process. Ms. Alterman referred to the
contents of a June 5, 1990 letter to Jim Golden from Allen
Enis, Traffic Engineer for Palm Beach County which raised
- 10 -

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JUNE 19, 1990
certain issues. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Olenik
remarked if the Commission chose to approve these projects,
it really had no bearing on certain issues between the deve-
loper and the County.
Knuth Road PCD
Mr. Kilday explained that in the County's Comprehensive
Plan the northern 450' had a commercial high-intensity
designation. The back portion of the site had a designation
to allow commercial recreation because of an existing
approved development plan that would allow for the develop-
ment of a golf and tennis center on that site. Mr. Kilday
stated he did not believe this use was the best use for the
site. Providing a golf driving range with lights and night
use, he believed would be a bother to residents. The deve-
loper had therefore asked for approval of a PCD.
The City's Comprehensive Plan indicates the front 250' of
the project should be allowed to develop as local retail
commercial and the south part of the project should be used
for moderate density residential. Mr. Kilday stated the
neighbors needed to chose whether they wanted moderate den-
sity to the west or whether they wanted high density located
next to the Post Office. Comments were made about an
existing 6' chain link fence and landscaping between Quail
Ridge and the north side of the site. Mr. Kilday also
referred to an existing 30' road right-of-way which had
never been developed along the west property line. This
resulted in a 55' buffer along the west line and a 25'
buffer along the south. Because of the golf course area,
the nearest residence would be 450' to the south. To the
west there were no residences between the site and the main
access road to Quail Ridge.
Mr. Kilday explained the location of a wall the developer
had agreed to provide for the Stonehaven development. Also,
upon privitization of the roads, contributions would be made
toward that development's guard gates. The developer had
asked that either Knuth Road PCD or Boynton Beach Blvd. PCD
{whichever project moved first) be responsible for the
construction of Knuth Road down to Woolbright Rd. Mr.
Kilday clarified the responsibility for the segment north of
the residential project should be picked up by the commer-
cial center.
Mayor Moore asked if there was any public input.
Cynthia Greenhouse, 618 N.E. 13th Avenue, Boynton Beach
stated her Planning & Zoning Board vote in support of the
two PCD projects was predicated on specific language being
- i1 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JUNE 19, 1990
placed on the Master Plan before the Chairman of the
Planning & Zoning Board signed it. This language dealt with
the projects being required to comply with applicable County
traffic standards. She stated this issue should not be a
surprise as it was discussed at great length by the Planning
& Zoning Board. Mrs. Greenhouse noted the developer was
creating the impact and he should be responsible for
completing the road links. Mr. Kilday responded the deve-
loper would meet all requirements of the Ordinances. He
Stood by the language put on the Master Plan. Other remarks
were made.
Malcolm Sullivan, 3628 Royal Tern Circle, Boynton Beach,
President of the Quail Ridge Property Owners Association
stated their A~sociation was concerned that should this be
developed as proposed, residents would find themselves
staring at the unattractive rear of an expansive building
with dumpsters, loading noise, etc. Mr. Sullivan didn't
feel the proposed plans complied with the City's Future Land
Use Plan and he thought the plans should be denied. He was
very concerned about the conversion of Knuth Rd. into a
narrow, major thoroughfare through a succession of residen-
tial complexes.
As there was no further input from the public, THE PUBLIC
HEARING WAS CLOSED.
It was announced that a second Public Hearing will be adver-
tised and held prior to the adoption of the Land Uae
Amendment.
Commissioner Olenik asked if a retail oil/lube type
establishment could be built there if these two parcels were
rezoned to PCD? Mr. Cannon responded affirmatively and
explained. Discussion took place regarding current zoning,
potential increases to the tax base and vacant commercial
properties that exist. Mr. Kilday stated in order to get
financing for these projects they would have to have tenants
"in hand."
Commissioner Olenik expressed concern relative to the large
~rcel on Winchester Park and Boynton Beach Blvd. Although
not directly related to the items on the current Agenda, he
requested enlightenment on what that parcel might bring. He
thought that could impact smaller parcels on Boynton Beach
Blvd. Mr. Kilday explained those properties were designated
high intensity commercial in both the City and County Plans.
Mr. Kilday stated he could probably withdraw the two appli-
cations on the Agenda (West Boynton B~ach Blvd.
Retail/Oil-Lube and Old Boynton Road/Congress Avenue Service
Station), because those pieces have been absorbed in the
- 12 -

greater project. HE referred to a single project of unified
architectural theme. Their planning was to hold a pre-
application conference by mid-July for Treasure Coast.
ADplication would be made shortly thereafter. Mr. Kilday
remarked the developer had no problem with restricting the
auto service use from both of the subject sites.
Discussion ensued among the Commissioners. Commissioner
Weiner thought if these projects were approved, it would
have a negative impact on downtown redevelopment.
Motions on Boynton Beach Blvd. PCD
In connection with Item E., the Boynton Beach Blvd. PCD,
Commissioner Olenik moved to approve the Land Use Element
Amendment to show the annexed land from Agriculture
Residential to PCD. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion.
It was noted the PCD will still have to come back before the
Commission for Site Plan approval. A comment was made about
the possibility of this being approved and then the owner
selling the land. If this were to occur, the benefits to
Banyan Creek might not take place. Mr. Kilday responded
this was addressed in the agreement and he had asked that
-~hese conditions be placed in the zoning so it would automa-
tically bind any future owner to those same agreements.
Mr. Kilday read out loud the exact language which would run
with the land. City Attorney Cherof noted the City was not
a party to this agreement between the developer and the
adjoining subdivisions.
Mayor Moore called for a vote on the motion. The motion
carried 4-1. Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion.
A few minutes later Commissioner Weiner stated she wished to
change her vote. The final vote on this motion was there-
fore 5-0.
Commissioner Olenik moved to rezone the parcel known as
Boynton Beach Blvd. PCD from Agriculture Residential in Palm
Beach County to PCD within Boynton Beach. The motion was
subject to staff comments and representations made by the
developer. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion. The
motion carried 5-0. Commissioner Weiner later stated she
wished to change her vote. The final vote on this motion
was therefore 4-1.
Commissioner Olenik moved to amend the text of the Boynton
Beach Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Planning Dept.
Memorandum No. 90-157. This was with the exception that
exterior mechanical equipment may be ground mounted. The
motion was seconded and carried 4-1. Commissioner Weiner
voted against the motion.

Mr. Cannon stated the property would have to be annexed
before the Commission could take final action on the land
use amendment and rezoning. It would appear on the same
upcoming Agenda.
In connection with the land use amendment, Mayor Moore
remarked there would be another advertised Public Hearing
after DCA review.
Motions on Knuth Road PCD
In connection with Item F., Knuth Road PCD, Vice Mayor
Wische moved to approve the Land Use Element. Commissioner
Artis seconded the motion.
Commissioner Olenik expressed concerns over the composition
of Boynton Be~ch Blvd., west of Knuth Rd. He thought it
needed to be a less intense use. Other opinions were
expressed. Mr. Kilday stated in the final development there
were certain uses they would be willing to restrict on the
site. The Mayor called for a vote on the motion. The
motion carried 3-2. Commissioner Weiner and Commissioner
Olenik voted against the motion.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to rezone the property from
Agricultural Residential to PCD. Commissioner Artis
seconded the motion which carried 3-2. Commissioner Weiner

Tara Oaks PUD
Mr. Kilday explained the plan currently approved for this
site allowed for 78 lots in a row on Knuth Road with two
cul-de-sacs coming out onto Congress Blvd. Knuth Rd. would
also connect to Congress Blvd. This plan, with those
restrictions, had been sitting dormant for some time. The
plan had been redesigned so as to protect the residential
property owners. All units had been taken from the south
side. Mr. Kilday pointed out on a map where a church was to
be located as well as a lake with open area. Modifications
on the plan met concerns of staff. He pointed out an area
inhabited by gopher tortoises and stated this would be set
aside, subject to State approval. They were asking for 192

units. Remarks were made about walls to be constructed to
buffer the property on the north side of the canal area.
Additional landscape berming and an expanded setback of 40'
were pointed out. There will be no units abutting the sales
project to the south. Knuth Rd. will be made to connect
between the canal and Woolbright Rd.
Mr. Kilday pointed out alterations made to the plan since it
was approved by the Planning & Zoning Board.
Commissioner Olenik asked if staff had a problem with making
Congress Blvd. a cul-de-sac westward. Mr. Cannon noted he
had not seen this plan. He had been prepared to suggest
they dedicate the right-of-way and only be required to build
it as a cul-de-sac. In the future, if the City chose, they
could build it through. In viewing the plans, Mr. Cannon
noted that would not be possible. Mr. Cannon stated it
iaDpeared if habitat was provided for the tortoises, they
wouldn't get S.W. Congress Ave. The TRB had not reviewed
the cul-de-sac issue yet. Mr. Cannon remarked the net den-
sity on this project was about 15 to 17 units per acre.
D~scussion ensued.
Mayor Moore asked if there was any input from the public.
Tom Marshall, 17 T~ra Lakes Drive East, Boynton Beach,
President of the Tara Lakes Homeowners Association spoke in
opposition to the proposed increase in density. He thought
this would probably result in rental property which he
thought would negatively impact surrounding properties.
Approval of medium density would be granting a special pri-
vilege to the developer in view of surrounding densities and
would go against the Comprehensive Plan. A petition was
presented with signatures of 55 homeowners in opposition to
Tara Oaks PUD.
If the Commission decided to approve this project despite
objections raised by Tara Lakes, Mr. Marshall stated three
conditions should be made. 1) Southwest Congress Blvd.
should be terminated with a cul-de-sac. 2) No dwelling
units should be constructed south of the north edge of S.W.
C~ngress Blvd. 3) Lakes of Tara should be able to provide
input and approve the landscaping plans immediately adjacent
to the Lakes of Tara community. Mr. Marshall thought Mr.
Kilday kept diverting attention back to gratuities to be
provided. The real sentiment of the public in opposition,
~n his opinion, was being buried. Mr. Marshall stated his
homeowners association desired low density for that site.
Further discussion ensued about densities. Staff was recom-
mending this be retained at moderate levels. Mr. Cannon
- 15 -

stated there were also some amendments to the Comprehensive
Plan that the applicant had consented to and it was recom-
mended they be conditions of approval as well. Staff's
recommendation would provide for only 146 units per acre as
opposed to 192.
Peggy Lewis Field, 1828 Edgewater Drive, Boynton Beach
stated she was a new homeowner in this area. She felt the
Planning & Zoning Board had granted this developer special
privilege rather than making the developer comply with the
rules. She asked why have advice from staff if their recom-
mendations are to be disregarded. She stated it gave the
appearance that minds are made up before the meetings take
place. Ms. Field referred to wetlands on the property. The
Dept. of Natural Resources requires all properties over one
half acre must have a permit to destroy wetlands prior to
development. She also understood that according to long-
time residents in the area, there was hazardous waste on the
property. Commissioner Olenik asked that the Commission
direct staff to follow up on this the next day. I~m urged
the press to be cautious about printing unsubstantiated sta-
tements. Ms. Field stated she had not verified the claim.
Ms. Fields thought the developer should be required to put
sufficient funds in escrow to ensure privitization of
Stonehaven PUD and protection of endangered species on the
groperty.
Stella Rossi, 625.Whispering Pines Road, Boynton Beach spoke
on behalf of the Coalition for Wilderness Islands. In con-
nection with relocation of the gopher tortoises, Mrs. Rossi
explained that prior development in the County had used up
the supply of relocations sites.
When the time limit to speak had expired, Commissioner
Olenik and Commissioner Weiner wished to allow Mrs. Rossi to
finish. Commissioner Olenik understood individuals were to
be given three minutes. The Commission this evening had
allowed ten minutes for each side but Commissioner Olenik
thought really at a Public Hearing any interested person
should be given three minutes to speak. There was
discussion among the Commissioners and Mrs. Rossi was
allowed a total of three minutes to speak. The Mayor
requested a copy of the speaking policy be put before the
Commission once and for all because he thought it kept
changing at the whim of the Commission.
Mrs. Rossi continued and stated moving species and their
food source had become very costly and had not proven suc-
cessful in the past. She realized there was a need for
homes. She also felt development should be done in a manner
- 16 -

that preserved open space and ecosystems. This would pro-
duce a better quality project for the welfare of the species
and the humans. Both objectives could be accomplished with
some of the conditions that had been discussed. Mrs. Rossi
recommended on-site preservation.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Commissioner Weiner moved that the Tara Oaks PUD request to
amend the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan
from "Low Density Residential" to "Medium Density
Residential" and to rezone from PUD w/LUI=4 to PUD w/LUI=5
to allow for the construction of 192 multi-family dwelling
units and a church be denied. The motion died for lack of a
second.
Discussion took place. Mr. Kilday stated if he could agree
to moderate density, he would. The reason they came in at
medium density was related to the construction of Knuth Rd.
Mr. Kilday remarked the density had been moved to the
northern part of the site and there would virtually be no
density to the south. He needed the medium density in order
to provide the requirements desired. He couldn't go any
lower on the density.
Relative to the road impact fees to be received on the two
PCD projects, Vincent Finizio, Administrative Coordinator of
Inspection & Engineering explained why those fees could not
be used to construct Knuth Road. City Manager Miller noted
there were other existing projects of higher priority. Mr.
Finizio stated when Tara Oaks said they agreed to build
Knuth Rd., based upon the statement put on their plans, they
would also be agreeing to comply with the County Engineer's
requirement to improve other links through road impact fees.
Other technical remarks were made about the roadways. Two
canal crossings, at the developer's expense, are also
involved in this project.
Mr. Kilday stated the developer's whole stipulation pre-
sented was based on being able to do all three projects and
having each of the projects pick up some of the costs.
Mayor Moore asked if the developer had protection if
something broke down on one of the three projects, where
they wouldn't be annexed with a zoning classification where
they could develop the property. Mr. Kilday stated Tara
Oaks was in the City. If they couldn't come to a final
agreement on the other two projects, then they would use the
County plan which is heavier commercial.

Motion on Tara Oaks PUD
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the Land Use Element
Amendment/Rezoning request to amend the Future Land Use
Element of the Comprehensive Plan from "Low Density
Residential" to "Medium Density Residential" and to rezone
from PUD w/LUI=4 to PUD w/LUI=5 to allow for the construc-
tion of 192 multi-family dwelling units and a church.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion.
Mr. Kilday explained the proposed church will be on the
corner of Woolbright Rd. and Knuth Rd. Mr. Kilday stated
language had been agreed to and it really needed to be
included in the motion. Staff had developed alternative
language that tied the plan down to provide those items that
the neighbors felt were a must, such as keeping the units to
the north and providing for the gopher tortoises. Mr.
Kilday said he supported staff's suggested amendment in that
regard.
The Mayor called for a vote of all those in favor of the
motion. The motion carried 3-2. Commissioner Weiner and
Commissioner Olenik voted against the motion.
It was announced that an advertised Public Hearing will be
held prior to the adoption of this Land Use Amendment.

Jim Golden, Senior Planner explained staff recommended
approval, subject to modifications in language so that small
pieces of property could not be separated from existing
larger pieces. This would be tied back to the approval date
of the Comprehensive Plan. Whatever is there now as a small
piece under three acres, could go forward as a standard
zoning district. Pieces such as the service station parcel
could not be separated from the existing larger pieces. Mr.
Kilday was agreeable with this.
Mr. Cannon pointed out the only parcels that would be exempt
from going through the PCD procedure would be those that
were under three acres at the time the Comprehensive Plan

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JUNE 19, 1990
Mr. George Zimmerman apologized to the Commission for
speaking up after the fact and requested that item 92,
Quantum Park Manufacturing Building be addressed separately.
The Commission was agreeable and it was clarified that items
91, 3 and 4 had been approved. (See Page 26 of these
Minutes where items 93 and 4 end up being tabled. Items 91
and 2 end up being approved.)
Mr. Zimmerman requested clarification with respect to some
conflicting issues which arose at the Community Appearance
Board and Planning and Zoning Board meetings. The issue
related to the perimeter buffer for the entire project. Mr.
Zimmerman explained City advisory boards and the City
Commission had previously approved an approach where they
would design the perimeter buffer with each and every deve-
lopment that came in. The land on which the buffer is to be
created is owned by separate individuals that buy property
within the park. Mr. Zimmerman stated the Planning & Zoning
Board had approved this approach. At the Community
Appearance Board meeting, however, they had been requested
to provide a complete buffer design prior to Certificate of
Occupancy for this building. Mr. Zimmerman felt it was
inappropriate for this building to suffer a delay based on
design requirements for other sites yet to be developed.
Clarification was needed so that problems do not occur at
the time this building is closed out.
City Manager Miller referred to Agenda item V. Development
Plans, B. "Request by Planning & Zoning Board for clarifica-
tion of previous action by City Commission approving the
master plan for the Quantum Park (B~ynton Beach Park of
Commerce) Planned Industrial Development." Mr. Miller
pointed out this all "dove tails" together. He asked the
Commission to review the material for item V. B. at this
time as there was an impact in connection with this item.
Mayor Moore stated that would be included in this
discussion.
Don Jaeger, Building Official explained there was a require-
ment under the zoning for PIDs, under Design Requirements
that the developer or owner of a PID provide a peripheral
greenbelt around the perimeter. It must be 25' where it
abutts a commercial or industrial parcel and 40' where it
abutts residential zoning. The Community Appearance Board
wanted to see the design plan for that peripheral greenbelt.
Quantum had already approved a plan for all the lake banks
and the roads but they still had not fulfilled the require-
ment to provide the peripheral greenbelt planting plan
whereas there could be a certain amount of uniformity
throughout the perimeter of the site. That was what the CAB
wished the developer to provide them for approval.
- 22 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JUNE 19, 1990
Mr. Jaeger remarked when the first project was approved, it
was agreed that when the first site adjacent to the peri-
meter was approved, they would provide this plan. W~nen the
first project was approved (Safety Kleen), they did not pro-
vide the typical landscape perimeter greenbelt. This was
the second project which was adjacent to the perimeter and
the developer still had not supplied the peripheral green-
belt planting plan. They were doing it on a lot by lot
basis. The CAB felt this would not provide uniformity
throughout the perimeter.
Mr. Zimmerman interjected the question was whether or not
such an agreement existed. Mayor Moore thought that
question would have to be researched. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Zimmerman thought the requirement was really one of
Quantum Associates, not this particular building plan. They
were separate entities. He repeated each lot will be owned
by a separate party. The separate parties would need to get
involved in how their land will be utilized and how they
will have to pay for the construction of this landscaped
area. Mr. Zimmerman felt that was why a preordained plan
was inappropriate. He noted that a large part of the peri-
meter is taken up by a City park. Mr. Zimmerman asked if
the City would want him designing a greenbelt that the City
would be required to put in a City park? He thought that
example would help the Commission to understand how indivi-
dual buyers feel. That was why they wanted to handle it
with each site plan, as part of the site plan approval. Mr.
Zimmerman felt the Commission would always have the ability
in site plan approval to see what is adjacent to a site and
to work towards consistency in the buffer.
The Mayor remarked this was the second or third project
going in and there still was no uniform buffer plan. H~
didn't know how this could continue. People were going to
be buying lots and he asked how the City could invoke any
kind of requirement in this situation. Mr. Zimmerman
responded there was a guaranteed buffer that's part of the
~tat. The only question was how it's planted. Mr.
Zimmerman thought that decision had a lot to do with how the
building sits on a lot. He felt you are best able to make
those kinds of decisions when you are doing the site plan.
M~. Zimmerman didn't think they should be required to draw a
uniform plan.
Discussion took place. Mr. Jaeger pointed out the Code
required the developer or owner of the project provide for
the buffer and its continual maintenance. The CAB had
requested there be some type of typical plan so that as each
project came in, it could be compared.

_MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING

JUNE 19, 1990
Mayor Moore thought what Mr. Zimmerman was saying made
sense. Vice Mayor Wische noted at the most recent CAB
meeting the board had "gone after" a project because all the
trees were the same. He thought the CAB was being incon-
sistent.
Mr. Zimmerman stated they would like the City to consider
each buffer on a site by site basis. They desired to get
approval of their plan at this time with the buffer as shown
and approved by the CAB. Mr. Zimmerman stated they had pro-
vided for the perpetual maintenance of the sites the City
had approved. Their covenants require that if the indivi-
dual owners do not maintain their landscaping as they are
supposed to, Quantum Associates can go on the property to
t~aintain it and then place a lien against the property.
Mr. Zimmerman was opposed to having to come back before the
CAB to meet their requirements on the peripheral greenbelt.
Commissioner Olenik commented on the need to be cautious
about overruling advisory boards. Mr. Jaeger repeated what
the Code required and the fact that the CAB desired a typi-
cal planting plan for the entire site. Then the CAB would
be able to compare individual sites against the typical
planting plan. Mr. Jaeger stated the CAB had voted to sencl
the site plan forward except they recommended to the
Commission that the permit be withheld until the perimeter
plan for the entire project was submitted and approved by
the CAB.
City Attorney Cherof remarked this was beyond what the Code
provided for. The Code indicated the site plan should pro-
vide the locations of the buffer. It did not go into the
design of the buffers themselves which he thought was the
distinction they were talking about. It was a preference
expressed on the part of the CAB. It appeared they complied
with the technical requirements of the Code and the question
was whether or not the City was going to impose the intent
of the CAB, which was not a requirement of the Code.
Motion
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the site plan as sub-
mitted, including the buffer for this particular site.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Community Appearance Board - Need for Legal
Clarification of Board's Scope and Responsibility
Vice Mayor Wische stated there were other projects that
encountered the same problem with the CAB. Carriage Homes
was able to build, but they had to come back in 60 days
- 24 -

because the Chairman and Vice Chairman weren't going to be
there at the next meeting. City Attorney Cherof responded
the CAB could request that and it was something the deve-
loper might want to commit himself to on a case by case
basis. It was not a Code requirement. It was noted that a
City Attorney had not been present at the CAB meeting.
Commissioner Olenik thought that board should have an attor-
ney present.
Mayor Moore stated the same issues were involved in the
other three projects reviewed by the CAB, namely, Palm B~ach
Leisureville, Boynton Beach Promenade and Carriage Homes of
Congress Lakes. He respectfully requested the CAB be pro-
vided with a full explanation of the City Attorney's ruling
to say those would be approved.
Palm Beach Leisureville - Entrance Wall Sign
The Commission proceeded to discuss the Palm Beach
Leisureville application. Mr. Jaeger indicated the CAB
recommended approval of the sign wall board but they wanted
the applicant to return to the Board with a landscape plan
at a later date.
Boynton Beach Promenade - Site Plan Modifications
In connection with Boynton Beach Promenade, Mr. Jaeger
reported the CAB had recommended approval of the amendment
to the site plan but they wanted to see the tenant signage
return to the CAB at a later date. The CAB felt the let-
tering was tDo large. Mr. Jaeger remarked the sign code
says the CAB approves sign programs. The sign program con-
sists of style of letters, type of sign, color and location.
That sign program is up to the jurisdiction of the CAB under
the present Code. There is no formula relative to the
letter size. There is a Code requirement for total overall
size of signage.
Carriage Homes of Congress Lakes - Site Plan
In connection with Carriage Homes of Congress Lakes, Vice
Mayor Wische explained they came in with a revised site plan
and landscape plan. The CAB approved the site plan but they
had problems with the landscape plan. They thought there
were too many oak trees in certain areas and wanted it
changed. The applicant agreed to this. Even though this
was on paper and will be in the Minutes, the CAB requested
him to return with a third site plan. Commissioner Olenik
thought it was enough for the amendments to be made on the
landscape plan with the applicant signing the changes. Mr.
Jaeger interjected the CAB also wanted the entrance way,
- 25 -

JUNE 19, 1990
certain berm areas and street scapes amended. The project
went forward, however, the CAB wanted the landscape plan to
return to the CAB at a later date for approval. Mr. Jaeger
stated normally they wouldn't be planting anything at the
site for five or six months so this would not unduly hold up
a project.
Commissioner Olenik asked if it was the intent that these
projects be brought back before the City Commission when
ready? Mr. Jaeger did not believe that was intended.
Commissioner Olenik stated the CAB had not approved the
landscape plan for Carriage Homes. Mr. Jaeger had indicated
it was not intended to bring the landscape plan back before
the Commission. He was concerned that the Commission had
not approved the landscape plan and he didn't want to get
into another Boynton Lakes North situation.
Commissioner Artis asked if there was anything written indi-
cating what kind of trees should be used and how many should
be planted. Mr. Jaeger indicated that was at the CAB's
discretion, just like the letter size.
Mayor Moore didn't think that was legally enforceable. He
thought it was time for the City Attorney to be directed to
come back with the legal powers the CAB has. Vice Mayor
Wische thought the responsibilities and scope of all City
boards should be outlined and made available to the members.
Motion
Commissioner Olenik moved to table the site plan modifica-
tion for Boynton Beach Promenade and the site plan approval
for Carriage Homes of Congress Lakes. Commissioner Weiner
seconded the motion which carried 5-0. Vice Mayor Wische
stated these two applicants should be notified about the
status of their applications.
Commissioner Olenik remarked the CAB should see these
landscape plans prior to their coming before the Commission
again.
Mayor Moore stated Palm Beach Leisureville and Quantum Park
Manufacturing were approved.

The Planning & Zoning Board made a unanimous finding that
the proposed concurrency management ordinance is consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan.
Tim Cannon, Interim Planning Director stated the Commission
needed to decide whether they wanted to hold a workshop in
connection with this Ordinance or they might choose to move
toward first and second reading.
Commissioner Olenik moved to direct the City Attorney to
incorporate this material into an Ordinance for first

the motion which carried 5-0.
B. Request by Planning & Zoning Board for clarification of
previous action by City Commission approving the master
plan for the Quantum Park (Boynton Beach Park of
Commerce) Planned Industrial Development
See Page 22 for consideration of this topic.
C. Consider recommendation by Planning & Zoning Board
reference Comprehensive Plan/Code Exception
Mr. Cannon explained the Planning & Zoning Board recommended
existing residential projects be exempt from bringing their
parking lots up to the parking lot code if they're not
increasing the number of dwelling units. This would mean
older condominium projects that do not meet the current
parking lot code would be exempt from the parking lot regu-
lations if they were doing renovations. Mr. Cannon thought
this was a good idea. This will have to be drawn up as an
Ordinance.
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the Planning & Zoning
Board's recommendation in this regard. Vice Mayor Wische
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

Commissioner Weiner moved to deny this Resolution. The
motion died for lack of a second.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to adopt the Resolution.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion. City Attorney
Cherof stated the motion should include a date specific for
the special meeting to be inserted in Section 1.
Cynthia Greenhouse, 618 N.E. 20th Lane, Boynton Beach asked
where the City Attorney got the charges. She understood the
City Attorney had received a memo in this regard from the
Mayor and she stated no individual Commissioner is to direct
the City Attorney to do anything. She thought the
Resolution was improper and legally insufficient. If the
Commission chose to continue in this direction, Mrs.
Greenhouse was of the opinion that all of the Commissioners
would have to vote on the charges before they could even be
put into Resolution form. It was pointed out that Mrs.
Greenhouse was not representing Commissioner Olenik.
Mayor Moore responded all of the Commissioners had been
requested to provide input in connection with the drafting
of the charges. Commissioner Weiner stated she was never
asked for input. She also remarked that the Resolution con-
sisted of the Mayor's memo, verbatim.
Vice Mayor Wische stated Mayor Moore wanted to censure
Commissioner Olenik on the night of June 5, 1990. The Vice
Mayor had indicated that wouldn't be proper and he suggested
the City Attorney draw up whatever papers are necessary to
do this. There had been a consensus to proceed that way so
the Commission could conduct a hearing to see if a censure
was warranted. Other remarks were made.
Having been the victim of a censure action with sanctions,
Commissioner Weiner stated she wished to remark on the per-
sonal consequences of those actions. She explained about
the anguish suffered by her entire family and having to pre-
pare a legal defense. She asked why it was necessary to
subject Commissioner Olenik to the same thing. She thought
almost every charge being made against Commissioner Olenik
could be made against the Mayor and she elaborated on speci-
fic incidents. Commissioner Weiner appealed to Commissioner
Artis to vote against this censure in an effort to restore
peace on the Commission.
Commissioner Artis referred to Section 1 of the proposed
Resolution which indicated the hearing would be held to
determine if the charges made were correct and she pointed
out that Commissioner Olenik would be able to defend him-
self.

JUNE 19, 1990
Commissioner Olenik referred to the charges listed in the
proposed Resolution. Doubts might exist in the minds of
some as to their correctness. He ~sked if, in the past,
other Commissioners had not violated any of those charges.
Because they didn't have a set of procedures in place for
such censure action, their procedures were really those of
their own past judgments. If the Commissioners had doubts
on points raised, Commissioner Olenik pointed out this
didn't have to go forward. If the hearing took place, City
money would be spent. As he understood the Ordinance, he
had a right to counsel and if he did utilize counsel, he
would be asking for reimbursement from the City. He asked
what would the cost benefit be to the City? What would the
City gain from going through this process?
Mayor Moore called for a vote of all those in favor of the
motion. The motion carried 3-2. Commissioner Olenik and
Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion.
The Commissioners agreed to schedule the special hearing for
Thursday, June 28, 1990 at 6:00 P.M. Public input would be
allowed to the extent that there are witnesses involved.
It was agreed to insert this date and time into Resolution
No. 90-PPPP.

2. Code Enforcement Board Releases Inlet Harbor Club
City Attorney Cherof explained the contents of his
Memorandum No. 043 to the City Manager. The City held Code
Enforcement liens on a number of units within Inlet Harbor
Club. These encumber dock slips and do so by specific
reference to unit number. In Mr. Cherof's review of the
Code Enforcement proceeding, it came to his attention that
none of the property owners were put on notice as to the
proceeding. He thought it was clearly the intent of the
Code Enforcement Board at that time to have their recourse
against Coastal Marine Construction, the contractor that had
implemented the construction activity without permits. The
City Attorney recommended the liens be released rather than
have them come up on a case by case basis.
Discussion took place on how this all came about. Mr.
Cherof and the City Manager explained the specifics.
Commissioner Olenik and Commissioner Weiner thought this had
slipped through the City's "cracks." Remarks were made
about the Building Dept. being responsible for this "slip
up" which occurred in 1988.
Commissioner Olenik moved to accept the recommendation of
the City Attorney. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion
which carried 4-0. Mayor Moore abstained from the vote as
he lives at Inlet Harbor Club. His dock was not involved.
(At the June 21, 1990 Commission Workshop meeting, Mayor
Moore announced he wished to change this. He wished to vote
in favor of the motion. This resulted in a final vote of
5-0. )

A. Reimbursement of legal fees for Ethics Commission Case -
George N. Hunt (Previously Tabled)
Commissioner Weiner moved to remove this topic from the
table. Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
City Manager Miller had provided the Commission with a
letter from Carol Crozier, Certified Legal Assistant, dated
June 19, 1990. An outline of the services performed by Mr.
Hunt's lawyers had been provided. Discussion ensued on how
these charges compared with charges of the other people
involved.

Commission Complaint No. 89-63, in connection with George
Hunt. The $2,049.95 fee is to be paid to Attorney Rutter.
Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion which carried 4-1.
Mayor Moore voted against the motion as he thought the
charges were too high.
B. Property appraisal for City owned lot south of Ocean
Ridge Town Hall
City Manager Miller outlined the contents of his Agenda
Memorandum No. 90-184. He noted Ocean Ridge had offered
$120,000 for the south lot. Mr. Miller pointed out that M.
R. Ford & Associates had appraised the property at $250,000.
Associated Appraisers appraised it at $155,000. Johnson &
Parrish had appraised the property at $250,000. Mr. Miller
recommended that staff offer to sell the southern lot for
$250,000. Further, he recommended that the agreement con-
summated include the provision that the northern parcel be
appropriately rezoned and designated to permit a parking lot
for the City of Boynton Beach. Discussion ensued about the
land value and the fact that Ocean Ridge had utilized the
property for many years without a lease. The consensus was
that negotiations should be opened up at $250,000. The
Mayor thought information should be provided to the public
that Boynton Beach intends to sell the land and someone else
might meet the offer.
C. Request for Proposal for Aquifer Storage and Recovery
The Commission had been provided with Utilities Memorandum
No. 90-381 from John Guidry, Director of Utilities in con-
nection with this topic. The Mayor remarked he didn't know
whether this was something the City should be getting into.
The City Manager pointed out all they were asking for at
this time was permission to go out for RFP on the ASR pro-
ject. There was agreement to proceed with the understanding
that the City was not binding itself to go forward with the
project.
D. Holiday Parade
Discussion took place about the Chamber of Commerce's
letter dated June 12, 1990 to the City Manager.
Commissioner Olenik asked if the Chamber's survey of the
commercial business owners along Federal Highway was ready.
I~ was not available. Charles Frederick, Director of
Recreation & Parks commented on Chamber concerns about the
Seacrest Blvd. route and the date change to a Saturday.
Commissioner Olenik moved that this topic be tabled. Staff
should be directed to get with the committee in connection

with the survey results. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the
motion which carried 5-0.
E. Investigations of Marina Haberman
Commissioner Weiner explained specifics in connection with
Marina Haberman being appointed to the Code Enforcement
Board and continued investigations by the City in connection
with occupational licenses. Commissioner Weiner pointed out
Mrs. Haberman had been forced to seek medical treatment for
the stress she had been subjected to. Mrs. Haberman had
also consulted an attorney. Commissioner Weiner asked the
Commission to join her in instructing the City Manager to
end all investigations concerning Mrs. Haberman and to let
her live in peace. Discussion ensued with the Mayor about
code enforcement and licensing.
Mrs. Haberman's attorney, Ned Kimmelman, 2424 N. Federal
Hwy., Boca Raton addressed the Commission. Mr. Kimmelman
pointed out that although Mrs. Haberman was a professional
artist, she had never performed such services in Boynton
Beach but had acted out of galleries, warehouses, etc., out-
side the City. Based on that fact, Mr. Kimmelman stated
Mrs. Haberman was not required to have an occupational
license as a professional artist. Mr. Kimmelman asked the
City to leave Mrs. Haberman alone. He thought there should
be some type of resolution from the Commission at this time
that all investigations of Mrs. Haberman should cease imme-
diately because it had been established that she was not a
professional artist working out of her Boynton Beach home.
A public apology was demanded as well as retraction of a
statement Mr. Kimmelman said was made as a Commission in
May, 1990. The remark was that Mrs. Haberman had "never"
acquired an occupational license for the fire safety equip-
ment business. Mr. Kimmelman quoted from a May 12, 1990
Palm Beach Post article. Mr. Kimmelman referred to Boynton
Beach occupational licenses obtained by Mrs. Haberman from
1983 through 1986. Mr. Kimmelman felt the newspaper article
amounted to libel and he elaborated. He stated a lawsuit
was eminent and the Commissioners would all be named as
defendents.
Disagreeable remarks were exchanged. Commissioner Weiner
moved that the Commission retract what was said about Mrs.
Haberman as it was a lie and was in the Minutes.
Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion for discussion pur-
poses. Commissioner Olenik questioned how some
Commissioners could individually be held responsible for a
remark that they had not personally made. Further
discussion ensued between the Commissioners and Mr.
Kimmelman.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JUNE 19, 1990
Vice Mayor Wische recalled staff had been requested to check
to see if Mrs. Haberman complied with the Code based on
information received that she didn't.
Commissioner Olenik thought sometimes it is wise for
Commissioners to rise above a situation and "put an issue
to bed.,' He remarked on potential cost to the City and
asked what was wrong with ending the issue at this time?
Mr. Kimmelman stated 1) if the Commission gave a public
retraction and said Mrs. Haberman was never in violation and
2) indicated the City would stop the investigation and
harrassment of her, it would come to an end and there would
be no suit against the Commission and its members for either
defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress or
any other cause of action Mrs. Haberman had against them.
Commissioner Weiner stated the motion was to retract the
statement that Mrs. Haberman never had an occupational
license, to apologize to Mrs. Haberman and to end all
further investigation. Commissioner Olenik stated he was
not prepared to give Mrs. Haberman or anyone else carte
blanche in the future. All investigations in relation to
what had been going on would cease. Commissioner Weiner
agreed. Mr. Kimmelman stated they were only dealing with
the current investigation. This had nothing to do with
things that could occur in the future or anything else that
might have taken place in the past.
Mayor Moore called for a vote of all those in favor of the
motion. The motion carried 4-0. Mayor Moore abstained.
Commissioner Weiner asked the City Attorney if the Mayor
could abstain from voting on this issue. Attorney Cherof
replied the Mayor could in light of the threat made. The
Commissioners might all have a conflict of interest if they
wished to declare it as the Mayor had. Other remarks were
made. (At the June 21, 1990 Commission Workshop meeting
Mayor Moore stated he wished to change this and he wanted to
vote against the motion. The final vote on this motion was
therefore 4-1.)
NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Gene Moore
1. Annual Board Dinner
The City Manager had provided the Commission with Memorandum
No. 90-180 relative to the list of persons invited to the
annual board dinner, possible dates and cost involved.
The Commission wished to include former Mayors on the invi-

tation list. It was proposed that some miscellaneous mem-
bers of staff and County/State Officials be eliminated from
the guest list in order to stay under a certain cost.
Members of the Childrens Task Force were not to be invited.
Commissioner Olenik moved to accept the City Manager's
recommendation, utilizing the beef "king cut." Vice Mayor
Wische seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
2. Childrens Task Force
Discussion took place about the number of people serving on
the Childrens Task Force. The Mayor suggested the
Commission reconsider and perhaps have a formal five member
board. Commissioner Weiner pointed out there were about 22
members and they had only held two meetings at this point.
Commissioner Weiner thought a Task Force operates in a dif-
ferent way than a board. She hoped one of the Task Force's
recommendations would be to have a permanent advisory board.
Prior to that time, she thought a lot of information was
needed. It was agreed to allow the Task Force to continue
functioning as is.
3. Report on Commissioner Arline Weiner's Health
In view of the fact that Commissioner Weiner had become ill
at the last regular Commission meeting and had left the
meeting early, Mayor Moore inquired about the status of her
health. Brief remarks were made in this regard.
B. Items for discussion requested by
Commissioner Bob Olenik, Jr.
1. City Demolition Program
Commissioner Olenik was interested in how much it would cost
the City to contract out demolitions instead of waiting for
the County. City Manager Miller reported on approximately
11 homes which were shortly to be demolished by the County.
Mr. Miller explained the costs of demolition and stated the
City did not have the needed equipment. Mr. Miller stated
in addition to those 11 homes, there were another 4 or 5
needing to be demolished. He thought they were looking at
the possibility of obtaining quotes on those and maybe going
ahead and having those 4 or 5 demolished. If he suggested
the City demolish all 15 at a cost of between $5,000 and
$7,000, it would amount to a very large sum of CRA dollars.
He would like to see the County at least take the bulk of
it. Remarks were made about it taking many months for the
County demolitions to actually take place. Commissioner
Olenik thought perhaps the Commission might wish to discuss
this at upcoming budget meetings.

C. Land Development regulations Workshop and
Public Hearing schedule
City Manager Miller stated the City had to promulgate a set
of land development regulations. A tentative schedule had
been put together. A Joint Workshop between the Commission
and Planning & Zoning Board was scheduled for June 26, 1990
at 6:00 P.M. A Planning & Zoning Board Public Hearing
would take place on July 10, 1990. City Commission Public
Hearings were scheduled for August 7 and 21v 1990. The
Commission was agreeable to this schedule.
D. Reimbursement of Legal Fees -
Commissioner Arline Weiner - Censure/Sanctions
Mayor Moore asked if it was proper under Robert's Rules of
Order for an individual Commissioner that is under a censure
to cast the swing vote to release herself from the censure.
City Attorney Cherof was asked to obtain an answer for the
Commission.
Commissioner Weiner understood the City really had no proce-
dure in place for censuring. She felt she had been censured
without due process and she explained. Whether or not the
censure/sanction was ever reversed, this legal bill would
still have come through. Disagreement took place between
Mayor Moore and Commissioner Weiner. The Mayor stated part
of the attorney's fees she was asking for were because
Commissioner Weiner was sued for libel. Commissioner Weiner
responded this bill had to do with the censure/sanction and
had nothing to do with the libel suit.
Commissioner Weiner asked the City Attorney if she was
entitled to have these attorney fees paid. Mr. Cherof
responded the provision of the Code under Administration
provided for the recovery of attorney fees.
Commissioner Olenik thought perhaps in the future the
Commission should not utilize something like
censure/sanction but rather go to the Ethics Commission so
that an independent body could review it. The Mayor thought
that suggestion should be looked into.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to pay Commissioner Weiner's attor-
ney fees. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which
carried 4-1. Mayor Moore voted against the motion. The
legal fees of R. William Rutter, Jr. totalled $3,062.50.
Vice Mayor Wische and Commissioner Olenik left the dais.

E. Dismantling of City Boards
Commissioner Weiner made remarks about the Mayor attempting
to abolish the CRA-Commercial and to replace it with a
Chamber of Commerce Committee. It had come to her attention
that the Mayor was doing research with the goal of
dismantling the Planning & Zoning Board. She thought it was
unconscionable that so much time and effort had to be spent
in "rear-guard defensive action against the Mayor's disrup-
tive proposals."
Commissioner Weiner moved that all City advisory boards
remain intact and that the Mayor take note of their commit-
ment to support the boards against any move to dismantle
them. Vice Mayor Wische and Commissioner Olenik returned to
the dais. The motion was repeated and Commissioner Olenik
seconded the motion for discussion purposes.
Commissioner Olenik remarked the Planning & Zoning Board was
a viable advisory board in the City. However, he was war~
of legislation that could tie the Commission's hands when
there was a need to do something about an advisory board.
Commissioner Olenik removed his second to the motion.
Commissioner Weiner was willing to remove the motion itself
but wished a consensus of opinion.
Commissioner Olenik agreed by consensus, that today, all
advisory boards work to some degree. They exist as another
set of eyes and ears to ensure the quality of life in this
City. He didn't see any reason to change that at the pre-
sent time or in the near future.
City Attorney Cherof pointed out the motion would be out of
order as they were into an area covered by reserve powers.
They could not vote on an issue that attempted to control a
later vote of the Commission.
Vice Mayor Wische stated he had never been provided with
anything in writing on this topic. All he had seen was a
newspaper article. He didn't think the Commission should
have to poll its members each time certain remarks appear in
the newspaper. He thought if someone wanted to make a
recommendation, they should come right out with it.
Commissioner Artis agreed with Vice Mayor Wische and was of
the opinion that there should be guidelines set for advisory
boards.
Cynthia Greenhouse, 618 N.E. 20th Lane, Boynton Beach
remarked on the heavy amount of work the Planning & Zoning
Board handles. She thought City board members take a great

load off the City Commission. She hoped the Commission
would show consistent appreciation for all City board mem-
bers.
F. Applied Polymer Systems, Inc.
Commissioner Weiner asked if Applied Polymer Systems now had
an occupational license. The City Manager responded negati-
vely. She asked if the company was presently in violation.
The City Manager replied they were. They would be appearing
before the Code Enforcement Board on June 20, 1990 on
failure to secure an occupational license and failure to
apply and attain appropriate building permits for renova-
tions done. Commissioner Weiner asked a number of questions
about the status of the situation and the City Manager
responded at length. Commissioner Weiner was concerned with
why proper inspection follow-up had not taken place in this
case and asked about procedure. The City Manager noted
there have been areas in certain departments where there
have been no procedures. That was why he had established an
Administrative Procedure Manual. Mr. Miller stated the
Occupational License Division was responsible for issuance
of Occupational Licenses and inspections in the field.
Mr. Miller was puzzled at why the company had not come in to
secure an occupational license or building permit.
Commissioner Weiner thought a lot of "slipping through the
cracks" was taking place in the Building Dept. She hoped
this pattern would not continue.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Pre-BudHet Workshop
City Manager Miller stated there was a need for a pre-budget
Commission workshop. Mr. Miller wanted the Commission to be
aware of a financial situation which must be dealt with. He
needed to spell out the figures for the Commission. Mr.
Miller would require Commission direction in regard to
important decisions they would be facing.
The Commission agreed to schedule the workshop on Thursday,
June 21, 1990 at 8:00 A.M.
Quantum Park - Tax Incremental Financing District
City Manager Miller wanted to make it clear that if a Tax
Incremental Financing District was established in Quantum
Park, the funds generated by that TIF would be spent within
the Quantum Park area. He was not proposing to take TIF
from the City's three existing TIFs to spend in Quantum
Park. Mr. Miller explained a bill had been added onto the

rear of another legislative bill that would now allow TIFs
to be established and funds derived to be utilized for the
construction of transportation projects. Mr. Miller
referred to the proposed 1-95 interchange at 22nd Ave. Mr.
Miller remarked they were still working on this, but facts
and figures were not together yet. Other technical remarks
were made.
ADMINISTRATIVE
A. Consider approval of sign variances
1. R. T. Milord Company
The City Manager recommended approval of the free standing
sign, however, he recommended denial of additional square
footage exceeding permitted maximum size. Mr. Miller felt
providing for 16 individual tenant signs was excessive.
Commissioner Olenik observed this sign was three times the
size allowed in the sign code. He felt the 16 individual
tenant names would be so small they wouldn't be able to be
read from the road. Discussion took place. No represen-
tative for the applicant was present.
Commissioner Olenik moved to deny the recommendation for the
R. T. Milord sign variance. Commissioner Weiner seconded
the motion which carried 5-0.
2. Roberts, Hodes & Snyder
The City Manager recommended approval of the free standing
sign, providing the sign area does not exceed the total
square footage permitted by the Code. Representatives for
the applicant were present.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the recommendation.
Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
3. Flex Plex Signs for Mr. Submarine
The City Manager recommended approval of the proposed free
standing sign, provided the total sign area of both signs
does not exceed the maximum square footage permitted by
code. A representative for the applicant was present.

the City Manager. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion

160 sq. ft. for each sign is deemed to be sufficient enough
for business identification purposes.
A representative for the applicant stated they would have
between 8 and 12 national tenants at the center. Discussion
ensued about anchor stores. It was noted that at the pre-
vious regular Commission meeting one free standing sign
variance had been approved for Cobb Theatre. These two
additional signs, if approved, will be located on Quantum
Blvd. and Congress Ave.
The representative indicated that on the portions of the
sign marked "future signage" on the drawings, single tenants
would be listed. He agreed that for visibility purposes
these should not be broken up into multiple smaller signs.
