Re: Adopt Tentative Budget

Motion
Commissioner Titcomb moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. R96-130.
Commissioner Bradley seconded the motion.
Commissioner Tillman referred to information which was provided to the Commissioners
regarding funds that are needed for hands-on minority recruitment for the Police
Department. The information was compiled by Arthur Lee and Dale Sugerman. This
proposed program will increase our viability in terms of bringing in applicants and give us
a better retention rate. The City's resources are adequate and the expenditure of these
funds would be for a very good cause.
Amended Motion
Commissioner Tillman amended the motion to include a budget for hands-on minority
recruitment in the amount of $37,300. Commissioner Bradley seconded the motion.
Commissioner Titcomb questioned whether these funds would be in additiOn to funds
already in the budget. Mayor Taylor responded affirmatively. At present, we recruit at
Police Academies and advertise locally. The additional funds will allow us to go out of
State to recruit.
City Manager Parker said the funds will come from the contingency account and be moved
into the Police Department budget in the line items as stated in the back-up material.
In response to Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz' question, City Manager Parker advised that there
2

are currently four openings in the Police Department at the present time. Vice Mayor
Jaskiewicz questioned whether it is necessary to expend this much money in view of the
fact that there are only four openings. She suggested that this figure be a "not to exceed"
figure. City Manager Parker explained that the $37,300 is a "not to exceed" number.
Commissioner Tiliman said the purpose of the increase is to cast a wider net to get a
higher quality recruitment. From 1994 to 1996, 40 officers joined the force. Only 12
officers were retained. We spent $6,196 for that effort. He feels we need to look outside
the local areas to bring in a higher quality employee that we can retain on a long-term
basis.
Commissioner Titcomb questioned whether there would be any spill over to any other
departments in the City. City Manager Parker said the trips that are outlined in this request
would be geared to the Police Department only. We would recruit only Criminal Justice
majors, etc. If the total amount of money is not expended, it would remain in the Police
Department budget.
Mayor Taylor feels the City did a good job in bringing in numbers; however, not everyone
made the grade. Perhaps a broader net will provide us with quality people that we can
retain. If this effort accomplishes that goal, it will be a small price to pay.
The motion carried unanimously.

King, Jr. Boulevard Corridor';
At the podium, Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, introduced the co-sponsors
of this effort, Art Fleming, Executive Director of the Community Financing Consortium, and
Anita Jenkins, Program Director of LISC.
On behalf of the Local initiatives Support Corporation, Anita Jenkins advised that she is
proud to be in partnership with the City in this effort. A great deal of energy will be brought
to the table. She thanked the City for this opportunity.
Art Fleminq said it has been a tremendous job putting together the participants in this
effort. He is proud and pleased this is happening in Boynton Beach. He thanked City
Manager Parker and Mr. Hawkins for bringing this program to the City. He presented a
briefing book which provides a background of the area.
City Manager Parker thanked Mr. Fleming, Ms. Jenkins and Wilfred Hawkins for all of the
work they have done. We now have more participants than the City of Fort Lauderdale
had when they took on this program.
Mr. Hawkins feels this is a very important effort. We are the second city in the southeast
to do this. The interest of the private community is indicated by the number and type of
people who will participate on Thursday and Friday. They have committed two days to this
City.
The event on Thursday will be held at the Holiday Inn Express. They have been very
cooperative and worked very closely with us. At 3:00 p.m., the participants will begin to
arrive for registration. From 5:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m., a bus tour of the entire City will be

there will be an "invitation only" dinner.
On Friday, the activities will begin at 7:00 a.m. with breakfast at the hotel. At 7:30 a.m., a
walking tour of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard will take place. That tour should take
approximately 25 minutes, and then the group will return to the hotel to begin the forum.
The briefing book that was provided outlines the goals and objectives of this forum. The
forum will continue throughout the day and should end at approximately 3;00 p.m. A
recording secretary will record and transcribe all of the information. The forum will also be
videotaped.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz confirmed with Mr. Hawkins that the participants are aware of the
fact that Gateway Boulevard will be widened and improved in the very near future.
In response to Commissioner Bradley's question, Mr. Hawkins advised that the property
owners were not invited to this forum. A separate meeting with 16 property owners was
held at Wilson Center last week. Both sides had an opportunity to air their concerns.
Commissioner Bradley feels this is algreat program. We have taken advantage of LISC

VII. PUBLIC AUDIENCE:
Alicia Jennings advised that Public Works visited her neighborhood today. She was told
by Bob Gibson that he was unaware of the City's intention to fix the drainage or driveways
in the area. In addition, she spoke to Officer Riggle about speeding cars in the
neighborhood. Officer Riggle advised that he is the only police officer in Boynton Beach
who does radar patrol. The Crime Watch program will begin when residents meet with a
police officer on Monday. There is still a problem with drugs because the dealers are
moving to her area from Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Ms. Jennings said her father
has done as much as he can afford to do to clean up his residence.
Mayor Taylor said the installation of the swales will alleviate some of the drainage
problems. At present, the water has no way of draining. With regard to drugs, the City is
aware that when the dealers are chased from one area, they move to another. We will
continue to fotlow them. The Police Department will address the speeding problem in the
area. Speed bumps are a traffic hazard, and speed humps are extremely expensive for
the residents. With regard to the driveways, the City will only repair damage that is the
result of the City's drainage system. The individuals are responsible for maintenance of
the driveways.
Ms. Jennings said the records will prove that the City dug up the street ten years ago, and
never came back. In addition, with regard to the corner, she suggested that the stop sign
be moved out slightly so that it is more visible, and remove the dirt in the middle of the
road.
Mayor Taylor feels many of the issues raised by Ms. Jennings are ideal issues for a
community association to address. The City will investigate the stop sign issue to see if
it can be located in a better place.
Commissioner Bradley felt it was exciting to hear that this community is organizing the
Crime Watch program. He feels Ms. Jennings is a problem solver. Another thing that can
be done is to attend the Wrice march meeting on Monday to discuss the problem in the
neighborhood. It is likely that the Wrice marchers will march on Ms. Jennings' street within
a few weeks.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz recalled that when Ms. Jennings spoke a few weeks ago, she

indicated that there was a' drainage flooding problem. City Manager Parker advised that
there is an agenda item tonight relative to this issue. Staff has been working on a plan to
address the numerous areas throughout the City with residential flooding in the streets.
This condition occurs in the areas where the swales have become non-existent or worn
away. Tonight's agenda item lists four streets to begin Phase I. In the next month, a
priority list will be presented similar to the street resurfacing program. It is possible that it
could take two to three years to get through the entire list.
One of the items mentioned is the concept of the driveway area between the sidewalk and
the street. The flooding on the streets ponds in the driveway because that is the Iow point.
It is the City's recommendation to have the City do the labor and have the property owner
pay for the materials with a 12-month no interest period.
In response to a question from Commissioner Bradley, City Manager Parker advised that
when the City digs up water lines and the driveways are dug up, the City replaces the
driveways_ and the sod in the swales at no cost to the property owner. For drainage
situations, the City does not do the same thing. City Manager Parker is unaware of any
city in Florida that pays anyone to maintain residential swales. This has always been a
responsibility of the property owner adjacent to the swale area.
A resident said that when she calls the Police to report someone parked on the swale, the
Police say there is nothing they can do because the swales belong to the City of Boynton
Beach. This resident said the swale has had the same appearance in front of her home
for 13 years. She does not feel she should be responsible for that area. She was told she
could not put in stone and artificial flowers because the swale belongs to the City. She
does not feel she should have to pay for this repair.
Mayor Taylor explained that when something is added to the swale, it affects where the
water goes. If the swale is filled with plants, the water goes to the neighbor's yard. These
swales must be maintained in their natural state so that the water can run off the road. Our
City Code requires that the property owner maintain the swale.
Ms. Jennings questioned whether the loan through the Community Redevelopment
Department can be used to pay for the repairs to the driveways. City Manager Parker
advised that driveways are not under the criteria for the grant program. Everyone will be
assessed the cost of the driveway, and they will have 12 months to repay at no interest.
Mayor Taylor stated that as a property owner, there is a responsibility to keep up the
property. The City will do its best to assist when it can. Anyone who cannot afford to keep
up the property may have a serious problem in owning the property. However, maintaining
property is part of the cost of ownership.
Ms. Jennings questioned whether her father would be fined $253 a day if he cannot afford

to fix his property. Mayor Taylor advised that he did not have an answer to that question,
but pointed out that Mr. Oldaker must maintain his property.
James Miriana said he was present to voice his displeasure at expenditure items on the
agenda. There are many needy items in the City, but we do not have funds available.
With the City fighting for revitalization of the downtown, Mr. Miriana does not feel it is right
to put a City Hall in the Mail. He believes this will take people away from downtown. When
this item was proposed, there was no mention of the amount of money this would cost. Mr.
Miriana has estimated the first year's costs to run this office will be $100,000. Mr. Miriana
does not feel there is a need for a second City Hall. The City always has money for other
things, but when the people want things that are necessary, no funds are available. Mr.
Miriana feels the needy must be considered first.
Mayor Taylor advised that it is the City's job to provide services to its citizens. Using Mr.
Miriana's logic, we would only have one park in downtown and have buses that only come
to the downtown. City Hall in the Mall is for the convenience of the citizens. He does not
see this service as a waste of money. The City feels it can provide better service to the
community with a City Hall in the Mall.

Commissioner Titcomb disclosed conversations with Boynton Lakes Estates' residents.
Due to the number of conditions associated with this application, Attorney Cherof
requested that the applicant indicate the conditions that were not acceptable so that the
balance of the conditions could be accepted at the end of the proceeding.
Michael Morton, 902 Clintmore Road, Boca Raton, Florida, is the agent for the
applicant. This plan will change the 14 acres which are part of the PUD from the originally-
planned multi-family project to a single-family designation. The applicant wishes to affirm
that the change to the master plan is a non-substantial change. This will enable the
applicant to go to the Planning and Development Board next Tuesday for review of the site
plan. He requested a consensus from the Commission relative to the items on the site
plan.
Mr. Morton advised that the applicant is in agreement with all items with the exception of
12, 25, 27, 34, 40, 41,42, 44, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59, and 60.
Mr. Morton explained that the applicant changed this plan in order to address the needs
of the residents of Lake Boynton Estates. This plan now reflects the 25' buffer along the
north property line, and has taken into consideration the Gary Lehnertz landscape plan by
using all of the plant material specified. The applicant has enhanced that plan by including
additional material. The recreation area was moved to the center part of the project,
Moving this area addresses a concern expressed by Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz.
Comment #12
Previously, the largest concern appeared to the 40' street right-of-way. At the
Commission's suggestion, the applicant added sidewalks on both sides of the 40' street
right-of-way. The applicant hopes the Commission will find this compromise in compliance.
Consensus
There was a consensus of the Commission to allow the 40' wide street width.
Comment #25
In order to make projects viable, applicants try to keep as many lots as possible. In two
locations, there are dead-end streets. There were originally three of these locations, but
the plan was reworked and that number was reduced to two. By taking the advice of staff,
the applicant included a cul-de-sac in the most favorable area, and kept the dead-end
streets in the location where too many lots would be lost. This item affects a number of
other conditions having to do with road frontage. Mr. Morton advised that the two dead-
MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

end streets were not objectionable to the Fire, Police or Public Works Departments.
Mike Haag, Planning Administrator for the Planning and Zoning Department, stated that
staff believes the two dead-ends are not conducive to a street layout in a PUD or a regular
conventional development. Staff feels the dead-ends should be omitted by making some
radiuses, including pie-shaped lots, or omitting some lots from the area. Dead-end streets
are prohibited by our Code (Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 10T). The only way to get relief
from a Code section is to request a waiver of the plat requirement.
City Manager Parker asked staff if we are requesting cul-de-sacs at both dead-ends, or
some sort of turn-around ability. Mr. Haag said staff wants the developer to omit the dead-
ends by making a radius and having pie-shaped lots. Another recommendation would be
to omit the lots to avoid dead-ends.
In response to City Manager Parker's question, Mr. Haag advised that the applicant would
lose approximately two lots by complying with staff's recommendations.
Mr. Morton said he was not sure that number was correct; however, he pointed out that if
the Fire, Police and Public Works Departments are not opposed, and there is no public
safety issue, it would be a compromise to allow the applicant to get the maximum number
of lots to accommodate the changes they have already made.
William HukilI, Director of Development and City Engineer, said this is a violation of the
Land Development Regulations that we have not allowed in other developments. He
pointed out on the map how this situation was corrected in one area by creating a radius
and pie-shaped lots without any significant loss of lots. This is poor planning and the Land
Development Regulations do not permit this condition.
Mayor Taylor asked if the pie-shaped lots would put the point of the lot at the intersection.
Mr. Haag responded affirmatively and explained that the radius would form the pie-shaped
lots that have a narrower frontage than the required 40'. The Zoning Code has regulations
that would cover that situation. The frontage of the lot is measured at the building setback
line rather than at the street frontage.
Mayor Taylor asked the applicant to move on to the next issue at this point. The
Commission will return to this issue later in the meeting.
Comment #27
Mr. Morton advised that this comment deals with the irrigated landscaping plans in the
S.W. 8th Street right-of-way which covers the medians and the swales. The only place
where landscaping has been installed at this point is in the one median that runs from
Woolbright Road up S.W. 8th Street in front of Cracker Barrel. There are two medians
]4
MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

north of that location that have not been landscaped. The underground irrigation sleeves
are in for these two islands.
Mr. Morton objects to this item at this time because of the timing involved. He would like
to get approval from the Commission and the Planning and Development Board, and then
move onto plat approval, full engineering plans and building permits. The applicant does
not know at this point what the final configuration of those two islands will be. If a major
retailer is brought in on the 14-acre parcel, most likely, the median will be altered
significantly. It does not make sense to put a plat requirement on installation of landscape
material that might be removed. He requested that the timing of this item be changed so
that at some point in the future (perhaps after a certain number of homes receive COs) the
applicant would be required to install the landscaping material. This will provide the
opportunity to be able to work with the commercial developer and get the final design
relative to the medians,
Mr. Hukill reminded the Commissioners that this was done in the past with this developer
on a number of occasions. The most recent case involves RaceTrac where there was an
area that was not completed between RaceTrac and Leisureville. There is a similar
situation in a project close to this one where the installation of landscaping keeps being
delayed. This is the obligation of this developer, and he has acknowledged that.
Mr, Hukill explained that the City does not know that anyone will ever develop that property.
This development has been before the City for close to a decade, and we are still waiting
with this as an eyesore. The material needs to be put in now. Staff recommends strongly
that this work be done.
City Manager Parker added that the City has held other developers to this requirement.
When Quantum came before the Commission, they were required to put in the landscaping
first. Quantum made the same comments at the time that they would have to change the
median cuts in the future. The City Commission told them they would then have to change
the landscaping at that time. If the property sits vacant for any length of time, at least the
medians are landscaped.
Mr. Morton advised that RaceTrac bought the parcel approximately three years ago. They
came through the City with their site plan, building plans and landscape plans. The
obligation to do all of the landscaping including the berm along the canal is RaceTrac's
obligation. RaceTrac has not performed and Mr. Morton discussed this situation before
the City Commission. He guaranteed that RaceTrac would comply. They have still not
fulfilled their obligation. Cracker Barrel is complying and agreed to landscape the berm
along the canal.
With regard to the medians, they do not come up to these 14 acres. The medians exist
at the Trammel-Crowe property. Mr. Morton is not trying to push this item off. He is under

an agreed situation to install the landscape material around the lake. By agreement and
Resolution and license with Leisureville, he was asked to delay that installation. He has
now installed the berm which has been hydroseeded. The hedges are installed and the
trees along SW 8th Street were put into the lake area as per the agreement. Mr. Morton
agrees to install the landscape material in the medians, but those medians are part of
TrammeI-Crowe's approval and part of the commercial property.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz confirmed that Mr. Morton complied with installing the hedges;
however, she is concerned about the maintenance on those items. Mr. Morton agreed with
her observations. He stated there is a maintenance association between this applicant,
Trammel-Crowe and the church. The maintenance association is run by Trammel-Crowe
because they are on-site. The contractor they hired to maintain the property has been
terminated for lack of service. Mr. Morton put in a bubbler ~ystem because of his concern
about the trees not surviving. The trees that have not survived will be replaced.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz feels the attractiveness of the medians will be an incentive for
people to purchase homes in this area. Mr. Morton is not opposed to Iandscaping the
medians. He is only opposed to making it a condition of plat approval. He was hoping to
have plat approval within 45 days. He cannot get the landscaping installed within 45 days,
and he does not want it to hold up the plat. He would prefer to tie the timing to the CO of
the first unit. Even if the median is changed, Mr. Morton will be happy to have installed it
and have to remove it and reinstall it.
Mr. Haag advised that he and Mr. Hukill have objections to tying this to first CO. Planning
and Zoning Department Comment #73 asks for the landscaping to be done 90 days after
approval by the Planning and Development Board so that if the development does not go
forward, the medians will still be completed.
City Manager Parker said this properly has been unsightly. To delay the landscaping even
further is not appropriate for the surrounding communities. The road now goes through
from Woolbright Road to Boynton Beach Boulevard. This is a heavily-used roadway and
the City is receiving calls from people who want the medians to be landscaped and
maintained.
Mr. Hukill advised that the City has two examples of plats where landscaping did not go in.
One of them was Boynton Lakes Plat 5, and the other is Cedar Ridge. Cedar Ridge was
a hazard for the City and there were a lot of policing problems at that site. Both projects
proceeded to plat and beyond, and were well through the required improvements. In both
cases, there were dust problems and blowing sand. Mr. Hukill does not support waiting
until first CO. He feels this landscaping should be required with plat approval.
Mr. Morton said the applicant still has several parcels that will be coming into the City for
approvals. Burger King is on the TRC agenda for next Tuesday. Discount Auto is also

coming in. He feels there are still opportunities for the City to require the applicant to
comply in the future. He does not want to delay Kennedy Homes, and that is the reason
for his request at this time. For the record, Mr. Morton said, "we will do our best to get this
thing started, and if I don't keep my word, you'll get me the next time I stand up here".
Mayor Taylor feels the median improvements provide a better opportunity of attracting
people into the complex. One of the first things the City does when bringing in prospective
tenants for Quantum Park is to point out how beautiful the park looks. Mayor Taylor feels
the development will look much better with the landscaping. He feels a great deal can be
done to the medians in 45 days.
Mr. Morton inquired if he could begin installation while he is going through plat approval.
Mayor Taylor feels the Commission has been clear about what it wants to see done with
these medians. He feels the area will look better, and a lot of problems will be solved if the
medians are landscaped.
Comment ~34
Mr. Morton advised that this comment deals with the dead-end lots.
Comment #41
To make this plan work, the developer made seven lots 42' wide by 95' deep. The
remainder of the lots are a minimum of 100' deep. The applicant is requesting permission
to reduce certain lots by a half foot so that the lots will be 99.5' deep and 95.5' deep.
Mayor Taylor reminded Mr. Morton that the City went through this on another project and
Commissioner Bradley was opposed to a reduction to 4,000 square feet. When the
decision was made by the Commission to allow that, they also determined 4,000 square
feet would be the minimum, and we would try not to go that Iow again in the future.
Mr. Morton agreed to make the switch to 99.5' and 95.5'.
Comment #42
This comment also relates to the lots in the dead-end areas.
Comment #44
This comment relates to landscaping and the lake plantings. As per the agreement, and
the license agreement with Leisureville, the applicant has installed ali of the material.

replaced. Trammel-Crowe assured Mr. Morton today that the maintenance contractor has
been replaced on the site. Mr. Morton believes the agreement supersedes Comment #44.
Mr. Haag said he does not know if that statement is true. The Commission would have to
confirm that. Mr. Haag did not know if the Commission was aware of the approved plan
for that area. Mr. Morton is saying that when the Commission approved the Resolution
with the berm and hedge along the east side of Leisureville, it replaced the plan that was
approved in 1990.
Mr. Morton said those approvals did replace the 1990 plan because the planting on the
berm in Leisureville was different from what was asked to be put in the berm. That entire
plan was changed, and has been installed as per an agreement that required the berm to
be installed with a hedge. That changed the 1990 landscape plan dramatically. The
applicant is in compliance with everything they agreed to on the new plan.
City Manager Parker stated that the only issue involved is one of paperwork and tracking.
This project has numerous things associated with it. The City is requesting that the
paperwork that has been submitted with the master plan reflects the previous approvals
so that the documents are all consistent at this time. The City does not have an argument
with approval or non-approval. We want the master plan revised to reflect the approvals
so that we only have to go to the latest document to get all of the necessary information.
We want all records to be up-to-date as the applicant goes forward.
Mayor Taylor recatls meeting with the residents of this area regarding the berm. The
residents had different opinions on what they wanted to see in the berm. A compromise
was reached which included a berm and hedge.
Mr. Morton said he would be happy to work with staff in making any changes on the master
plan to provide a trail.
In response to Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz' question, Mr. Morton advised that the issue with
RaceTrac is that they were sold the property to the canal right-of-way. The responsibility
for RaceTrac doing the berm went along with the sale of the property. Mr. Morton agreed
to comply with Comment #44.
Mr. Haag asked for further clarification. Using the overlay, he pointed out the area involved
with the berm and landscaping associated with the Resolution. It excluded the church. Mr.
Morton is saying that the Resolution that involves the berm and the hedge replaces the
1990 plan that shows landscaping around the lake, the preserve area, and landscaping in
the right-of-way.
Mr. Morton disagreed. He said the applicant took the 1990 plan and put in the berm and
the hedge. He put in the trees (including a combination of Oak trees and Palms) along SW

8th Street, and hydroseeded the lake banks. The only exception to the 1990 plan is the
littoral zones along the lake bank. This was a requirement of South Florida Water
Management which has since been eliminated in drainage areas. This plan was submitted
to the City, and some changes are still required. Utilities had a comment about not putting
Oak trees in the utility easement. Those trees were moved out of that area.
City Manager Parker asked Mr. Morton if he was saying that whatever is allowed by the
other agencies to be permitted around the lake planting zone and the preserve area he still
intends to plant in accordance with the previous plan that the agreement specifically
addressed with the buffer zone. Mr. Morton said this was not his understanding. His
understanding was that when they changed the entirety of the lake area, the plan was
different than what was originally shown for the area. Mr. Morton said the applicant put in
the trees, but eliminated the littoral zoning plantings because they are no longer required
by South Florida Water Management.
City Manager Parker advised that they are still required by the City by virtue of approval
of the plan. There was never any intent to change the landscape provisions of this plan.
Mr. Morton feels that by sitting down with Leisureville representatives and discussing the
changes to the plan, they changed the tenor of what was being installed in that lake. What
was planted is allowable and acceptable.
Attorney Cherof advised that this is not an issue the Commission needs to micromanage.
Condition #44 will be included in the adoption. The documentation will have to fall into
place, and this will be resolved at an administrative level. The Commission does not have
to try to interpret documents that are not before the Commission.
Comment #46
Mr. Morton advised that the same thing applies to Comment #46 which is a housekeeping
item among the City Attorney, Planning, Engineering and the applicant which involves the
north property line of Cracker Barrel and the south property line of the church parcel.
City Manager Parker advised that the reason this appears now is because it has been
disCussed many times, and the situation still is not corrected. Staff felt that the situation
might be corrected if it is a condition of plat approval.
Mr. Morton said this is not the applicant's issue. He has a corrected property line which is
the north property line of Cracker Barrel. The problem involves the fact that in 1990, when
the plat came in and the development orders were written, there was a scrivener's error.
Mr. Morton said he cannot do anything about this. This is a situation which must be
worked out with the City Attorney and staff, and Mr. Morton will assist.
Attorney Cherof again advised that Comment #46 will be included and this issue will be

Mr. Morton objected to this as a condition of approv, al.
Comment #54
Mr. Morton advised that Comment #54 is not a problem. The applicant will extend the wail
around that portion of the lots or install a fence with specific landscaping for buffering.
Mr. Haag asked if this will be common ground or part of the lot. Mr. Morton said he will be
submitting a site plan for the entrance feature. The most likely probability is that they will
run a fence. He is not certain if it will be common ground or part of the lot.
Mr. Haag advised that staff will accept it either way, but the comment says common
ground.
Comment #55
Mr. Morton said the applicant will take this comment into consideration when he submits
a site plan for the pool area.
Comments #57 and #58
Both of these comments deal with the plant material and what makes up the buffer
between Lake Boynton Estates and this property. On Comment #57, staff took Gary
Lehnertz' plan and used the plant material shown on that plan (the same plant material
shown on the applicant's plan at this time), and made comments that define the trees,
hedges, and shrubs.
In discussions with Mr. Haag this morning, there was agreement that there are two
problems. The applicant agreed with Mr. Lehnertz' plan and tried to locate the material so
that it is acceptable with the FPL guidelines for planting materials in or near their easement
areas. FPL provides a brochure which lists recommendations on where to plant trees.
There is a minor line that runs behind these houses. The applicant has tried to keep some
of the canopy trees as far away from the power lines as possible. These are the trees
recommended by Gary Lehnertz.
Comment #58 then says that if the applicant follows FPL's guidelines, there will be a
problem with some of the trees. In discussions with FPL, they do not have a great
concern. They would prefer the use of smaller trees, but the applicant has complied with
the Lehnertz plan.
Another issue between Comments #57 and #58 involves timing. The City wants the entire

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

buffer installed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy of any recreation
structure, sales model facility, or residential unit, whichever comes first. This is a timing
issue because a sales model will be put up while land development work is being done.
It does not make sense to install a berm at that time. It would be better to install this berm
commensurate with the first CO for a residential unit on the property.
Mr. Haag advised that the biggest issue staff has with both the approved plan and the
proposed plan is the overhead power lines. Mr. Morton has enhanced the plan by adding
material to it; however, there are still large canopy trees within 6' of the FPL easement. On
the Gary Lehnertz plan, the north row of trees, which are about 50' on center along the
entire buffer, are right on the easement. The location of the trees is staff's concern. Mr.
Haag does not believe it is wise to plant large canopy trees underneath power lines.
Mr. Morton pointed out that the Gary Lehnertz plan has the trees underneath the power
lines. His plan moved the trees 6' to 10' south of the power lines. If staff wants to change
the species on the plan, when the applicant comes in for site plan approval for the berm,
those discussions can take place.
Mr. Haag recommends changing the species to one that can be planted either with the
Lehnertz plan or the proposed plan. Mr. Morton has agreed to plant a smaller tree. If that
happens, the City would want to increase the number of trees.
City Manager Parker feels the neighbors would want the canopy trees as opposed to
smaller trees even though there may be more of them.
Commissioner Bradley pointed out that 6' to 10' is not going to make much difference in
five years when the trees are mature. FPL will have the same problem cutting those trees
at that time.
Mayor Taylor recommends staying with the original plan, moving them 6'. He does not
have a problem with them not being in place when the sales office goes up, but he does
have a problem waiting until the first CO. Mayor Taylor felt the installation of the trees
would be a good marketing tool.
Mr. Morton explained that the builder and developer must make the decisions relative to
marketing. If they feel it is necessary to put in the landscaping berm sooner because of
marketing, then at least it will be their decision. During land development, the workers will
take home some of the trees, or ride the bulldozer up on the berm. This creates
unnecessary problems. The sales activity on the site at that time is confined to the sales
area because the remainder of the site is full of activity for sewer, water, paving, and
drainage. A visual berm is not effective at that time. Mr. Morton added that the berm is
already in. The landscaping needs to be added. Mr. Morton explained that the irrigation
has been vandalized. Mr. Morton advised that this buffer is Kennedy Homes' responsibility.

Comment #63
Mr. Morton said the applicant included sidewalks on both sides of the street in the entire
community with the exception of the three lots inside the cul-de-sac in the northwest
corner. The applicant would prefer not to put the sidewalk in that area.
,Comment #72
With regard to the undisturbed area (which appears in Comment #72 and in other
comments) the applicant does not object to Kevin Hallahan's recommendation to remove
the exotic vegetation to his satisfaction, and if other material is needed in the area, the
applicant will plant it. (This appears under Comment #31 .) The applicant is not running
the berm around the perimeter because it is a buffer of 80' at some points. They are
proposing to end the berm at the lots that are to the west of the cul-de-sac (Lot 7), and
leave the undisturbed area totally undisturbed.
City Manager Parker read Comment #31, and pointed out that it does not say this is a
recommendation. The comment explains that staff can only evaluate the site after the
exotic vegetation is removed. Mr. Hallahan is reserving comment on this until he sees
what the site looks like after the exotics have been removed.
Mr. Morton said he agrees with that comment. Once the exotics are removed, if Mr.
Hallahan wants additional material planted, the applicant will plant that material. Mr.
Morton does not want to put in a berm in addition to what Comment #31 already requires.
The applicant will comply with exactly what Mr. HalIahan recommends.
Mr. Haag clarified that the approved master plan did not show a lot layout, but does show
the berm continuing all of the way over to SW 8th Street. Staff's position is that there is
a requirement for a berm.
Mayor Taylor confirmed with Mr. Morton that his intention is not to include a berm in the
portion of the undisturbed area if Mr. Hallahan determines that the vegetation is adequate
after the exotics are removed.
City Manager Parker asked Mr. Morton what his plan includes if Mr. Hallahan determines
that a berm is needed around the entire perimeter as shown on the plan today. Mr. Morton
does not believe that will happen. However, if additional trees are needed to keep the
buffer strong, that will be done. Mr. Morton does not want to be required to put the buffer
in. He would prefer to leave that decision to Kevin Hallahan at a later date.
Commissioner Bradley confirmed with Mr. Morton that if Mr. Hallahan decides Mr. MoTton
needs to put in the buffer, he agrees to do it because he trusts Mr. Hallahan's judgment.

Comment #70
A 25' height limitation was established on two-story houses. Because of modern
architecture, some two-story houses are taller than 25'. The applicant is requesting a 30'
height limit to allow for the ceiling heights on the first and second to be 12' and then have
a roof elevation that wiil be approximately 6' above that.
MayOr Taylor did not object to this request.
The Commissioners confirmed their agreement to change Comment #12 to read,
"Minimum street right-of-way width for a local street with 2 mountable curbs is 40
feet; with swales minimum right-of-way width is 60 feet. Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 10C,
pg~ 6-11 ".
Carol Fretwell, 713 SW 3 Avenue, said that with regard to Comment #73, other
developers have been made to conform in advance, and this developer should also be
made to do so. Ms. Fretweli feels that Mr. Morton's approach is that he is entitled to do
everything within 45 days. He uses the term "better served", but she wonders who is being
better served. This property has been in disrepair for over ten years. Mr. Morton makes
promises for other owners' properties, but then comes back and says he cannot make
these owners do what he promised they would do. She sees an image of "smoke and
mirrors" and feels Mr. Morton is a magician. He brings projects forward for City
Commission consideration, and then he stands at the podium and offers to consider things
he is supposed to do. Ms. Fretwell would like to see this project go through so that it is
developed and this issue is closed; however, there are reasons for each of these steps.
Mayor Taylor assured Ms. Fretwell that the City Commission knows which department is
placing conditions on the developer. When a developer brings in a project, he presents
his viewpoint. Doing the landscaping later in the development process saves money. It
is up to the City to decide whether or not to allow that. This is a right that the developers
have. There are over 70 conditions placed on this developer. He has agreed to almost
all of those conditions. The City Commission has to make sure that the interests of the
City are being preserved. The developer is trying to make sure his interests are being
preserved. Mr. Morion has lived up to his promises with regard to RaceTrac and Cracker
Barrel. Mayor Taylor feels Mr. Morton has dealt with him in a fair manner up to this point.
Mr. Morton reminded the Commissioners that he has agreed that RaceTrac will comply or
he will comply.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz confirmed with Mr. Morton that Comment #74 is acceptable.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked Mr. Morton to comment with regard to Tambri Heyden's
suggestion about pie-shaped lots. Mr. Morton stated that the developer would lose three
23
MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
September 4, 1996
or four lots to go to radiuses.
Rick Wohlfarth, CCL Consultants, said there are two very important points. If the radius
is brought around, Lot 43 and Lot 21 are very close to the roadways. What the developer
is really dealing with is a driveway that is servicing one icl. It is an extension of a driveway.
From a planning perspective, Lots 44 and 22 will be the most desirable and wilt sell the
quickest, if you provide an eyebrow, each lot below must be narrowed. That will result in
the loss of two lots. To widen the pie to allow 20' setbacks, the developer will lose three
to four lots.
The developer tried to provide a plan that was satisfactory to the neighbors. This is an
acceptable alternative. If the developer accepts the recommendation, he will lose three
or four lots.
Mayor Taylor feels that although the developer might lose a lot or two, the lot remaining
would be much larger and could be sold at a higher price because it would be an ideal
place to buy. Mayor Taylor does not want to set a precedent of doing dead-end lots. He
would rather see the eyebrow. Commissioner Bradley agreed with the Mayor's remarks.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz would not support setting a precedent because it will carry over to
other developments.
Mr. Morton agreed to go along with this suggestion as long as there is a compromise in that
the minimum radius size for the front be reduced 20'. The house will be set back in the
right spot, but the developer would be able to get more lots in by having a smaller radius.
They would eliminate the dead-end to do that. A couple of lots will be eliminated, but the
number will not be four.
Mr. Haag said it should be 31.5' at the building line and 15' back. This would follow the
regulations in the Code.
Mr. Morton said he will try to redesign it and work with staff.
Mayor Taylor agreed to leave this comment in and let staff work it out.

Comments #57 and 58
Mayor Taylor reminded everyone that there was a consensus of the Commission to go with
the 6' and use the larger trees.
Attorney Cherof advised that Comment #57 will be included, and Comment #58 will be
rejected.
Mr. Morton stated that the physical earth berm is already installed. Kennedy Homes will
be coming in with the plat, site plan for the recreation area, and site plan for the plantings
on the berm, the entrance, the card gate, and other different things. They will include their
building plans for permits. Kennedy will not close on the property and move forward until
they are assured the plat is approved. Under the contract, Kennedy has the responsibility
of installing the planting material on this berm. They have agreed to do that, but will not
do it until they close on the property. Mr. Morton would like a trigger attached to this so
that Kennedy Homes will install the plant material prior to issuance of the first CO on the
first house. Since this suggestion was not acceptable to the Commissioners, Mr. Morton
suggested that the trigger be when the sewer and water are accepted.
Mr. Hukill explained that if the City Commission accepts installation at first CO, it will be
nine months or more before the planting is done. If we wait until water and sewer is
approved, the planting will come in with final approval of the required improvements which
do not begin until the plat is recorded. Therefore, the time line is still the same. If the
business problem is that the buyer will not buy until the plat is recorded or approved, then
the thing to do is place a time limit on it and not issue any permits, except the development
permit, until the installation is complete.
Bruck Minik, 718 SW 4 Avenue, agrees with Mr. HukilI's remarks. He does not feel the
residents or the City should have to wait nine months for this landscape barrier. During
construction, the residents will be exposed to the noise and dirt from that project. He
further pointed out that no one is maintaining the buffer zone at this point. The grass and
weeds have not been cut for a year. He asked for clarification regarding the setbacks of
the homes on the northern boundary of this project, and asked what will be put in place on
the northwest corner of the project at the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Morton advised that the setbacks will be 40', and the area in question is part of the
undisturbed area. Mr. Morton agreed with Mr. Hukill's suggestion to place a time limit on
the installation of the landscape material. He recommends a 180 day time limit. Mr. Hukill
disagreed with 180 days because that would still result in nine months before this planting
is done. Mr. Hukill recommended that the Commission require the planting to begin
immediately following plat approval.
Commissioner Bradley recommended requiring the planting to completed 90 days after plat

approval.
Mary Fornataro, 718 SW 4 Avenue, said she received the notification of this meeting
yesterday, and the notice said the application would be addressed by the Commission on
September 3, 1996 rather than today. She explained that this is the fourth of fifth meeting
the residents have attended on this same subject. She felt the residents made their wishes
clear. The buffer behind her home is a pile of sand. She has complained about this area
because it has not been mowed in at least a year. She requested that maintenance begin
in this area.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz explained to Ms. Fornataro that she received many calls from the
residents who have concurred with the basic plan.
Mr. Morton assured Mayor Taylor that Trammel-Crowe is hiring a new maintenance
contractor.
Mayor Taylor advised Ms. Fornatare that the City Commission has addressed the concerns
of the residents with conditions regarding the buffer and landscaping, recreation, and the
sidewalks. Mayor Taylor is confident with what the Commission has done up to this point.
The Commission has now decided that the landscaping is to be completed 90 days from
plat approval.
Attorney Cheref advised that the Planning and Development Board meeting at 7:00 p.m.,
on Tuesday, September 10, will address this application. The public can comment at that
time.
Consensus
There was a consensus of the Commission to allow the 30' height for the two-story
structures.
Mr. Morton asked for clarification on the issue of the sidewalks in the cul-de-sac. Mayor
Taylor advised that he would not support Mr. Morton's request to eliminate the sidewalks
in that area. Mr. Morton agreed to put in the sidewalks adjacent to the houses.
Mayor Taylor clarified that the only condition the Commission is changing is Comment #12.
That change permits the street width to be 40' rather than 50'. He is comfortable with all
other conditions including the comments made by the Commission this evening.

Comment #12 will read as follows:
Minimum street right-of-way width for a local street with two mountable

On Page 2, Comments #17 through 33 are all included. Comment #27 has been changed
to require the landscaping "90 days after plat approval at which time all building permits
and certificates of occupancy issuance cease". City Manager Parker explained that the
City Commission has agreed with the requirements of the comment relative to medians
being in prior to recording of the plat.
Attorney Cherof repeated that Comments #17 through 33 are included. Comments #34
through 47, 48 through 56, and 57 are included with the last paragraph of Comment #57
deleted. In its place, add:
The entire berm and landscaping to be installed within 90 days of plat
approval. Failure to complete construction shall operate the barring of

Comment #58 is rejected. Comments #59 and 60 are included. Comments #61 through
69 are included. Comment #70 is modified to read:
The maximum height is established at 30' rather than 25'.
The remaining comments are included.
Mr. Morton asked for clarification on the timing of the median. He questioned whether the
Commission wants it irrigated and installed prior to the time of plat. Mayor Taylor
responded affirmatively.
Mr. Morton explained that he will be coming in with modifications to the medians, and all
of that landscaping will have to be removed.
Mr. Morton also added that with regard to Comment #59, there is a 12' utility easement.
Half of the easement is in the berm and half is in the utility easement. The applicant has
agreed with the recommendation of the Utilities Department not to put in Oak trees or
Gumbo Limbo. The applicant will install Palm trees, and they would not be put over the
force main. Therefore, the applicant has slightly modified the landscape plan behind Lots
8 and 9. The comment is actually saying that the applicant must move six additional feet
in, and that would make the lots difficult to build on.

City Manager Parker advised that staff's recommendation is that the applicant move the

Mr. Morton asked for authorization to allow those two lots to conform to the Lehnertz plan
for 19', but in the last 6', allow them to put in Palm trees and other material approved by
staff.
In response to Mayor Taylor's question about whether or not the staff would have a
problem with this suggestion, City Manager Parker stated that staff is willing to work with
Mr. Morton. However, staff did not want Mr. Morton to use the utility restriction to eliminate
landscaping items that were requested. Staff wants the flexibility to request the shifting of
the easement so that we can keep the full landscaping as opposed to decreasing the
landscaping.
Attorney Cherof advised that Comment #1 and Comment #59 give staff and Mr. Morton the
opportunity to work this out.
Mr. Morton would like agreement that he does not have to move the easement 6' to the
south. In those two particular lots, he will use the plant material recommended by Pete
Mazzella rather than planting Oak and Gumbo Limbo.
Mr. Haag pointed out that in Comment #1, the Utilities Department is concerned about
where the tree is planted and the extension of the limbs. Utilities feels the tree is in the
easement even when the tree canopy is in the easement.
Commissioner Titcomb suggested that this item be worked out with staff without changing
the conditions.
Mayor Taylor questioned why staff has a problem with Mr. Morton changing the trees in this
area. City Manager Parker explained that the Palm trees will not provide the same buffer
that the canopies of Oak trees provide. In addition, Mr. Haag explained that this area
begins at Lots 8 and 9 and extends into the cul-de-sac area.
Attorney Cherof suggested adding language at the end of Comment #59 which states:
Obtain staff approval to use substitute plantings along this portion of
the buffer.
City Manager Parker pointed out that by moving the easement, staff does not know how
much of the back yard is a problem. The property owners need to use their back yards.
Mr. Haag explained that these lots are deeper. They measure 125' deep. The setback to
the building is 40' to the north property line. The edge of the easement is 3' from the

buildable area that Mr. Morton established.
Commissioner Bradley realized that the only real loss would be on the property description.
They would have buiidable area up to the limit.
City Manager Parker recommended that Mr. Morton be allowed to plant Palm trees instead
of Oak trees in this particular area, but must plant two Palm trees in place of every one Oak
tree. Mr. Morton was agreeable to this solution.
Motion
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz moved to approve with changes as outlined in Attorney Cherof's
reiteration of going through the conditions and verbiage stated. Commissioner Bradley
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
MAYOR TAYLOR DECLARED A BRIEF RECESS. THE MEETING RECONVENED AT
9:45 P.M.
IX. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Items for discussion requested by Commissioner Matt Bradley
Qualifications for student appointments to the Advisory Board on
Children & Youth
Commissioner Bradley stated that he solicited a young woman who is a member of his
church for membership on the Advisory Board on Children and Youth. When she agreed
to serve, Mayor Taylor appointed her as a ReguladStudent member of the board. Our
Code requires all members of this board to be residents of the City. Mayor Taylor was
unaware of the fact that she was not a City resident. She attended a meeting and was a
contributor.
There are three student positions on the board, Two of the positions are voting members;
the third is not. Commissioner Bradley suggested that the third student position include
criteria to allow participation by a student from outside the City.
The Commissioners were in agreement with this suggestion for the following reasons:
This person could provide input on things that are going on
outside of the City limits;
Many times, student member positions remain vacant for the
entire year; and

This suggestion is consistent with discussions during the
Vision 20/20 Conference which involved having non-resident
participation on some of the boards.
Since the Ordinance contains a residency requirement, a change will be made and the
Ordinance will be brought back at the next meeting for first reading.
In the meantime, the young lady who was appointed can contribute to the board from the
audience.
B. Appointment of Civil Service Task Force Members
1. Select date for workshop with the Civil Service Board
At the Commission's request, City Manager Parker spoke with the members of the Civil
Service Board relative to having a joint workshop meeting. Dates were provided for review
by the Commission.
Consensus
There was a consensus of the Commission to hold a joint workshop meeting with the Civil
Service Board on September 18, 1996, at 6:30 p.m., in the Library Program Room.
Consider storm drainage improvement program
City Manager Parker reminded the Commissioners that she discussed this subject earlier
in the meeting. In the back-up material, she listed four streets for Phase I of the program.
Staff will bring the Commission a listing of other roads (19 areas) that need work in the
retention areas. She confirmed that the City is not providing irrigation. Only sod will be
provided. The City has advised the residents that they must maintain the swales.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz is concerned that consistent parking in the swales will result in the
same problem that now exists. She feels the timing might be right to revive the Ordinance
relative to parking in the swales.
Commissioner Bradley felt it is necessary to address the issue of people who park in other
people's swales. He received a telephone call from someone who reported that gambling
is occurring in the area where he owns property. He does not want these people to park
on the swale, but he does not own the swale.
City Manager Parker explained that the City can enforce the Ordinance that prohibits
parking in the swales.

MINUTES

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz suggested that the Commission consider an Ordinance that limits
the amount of time someone can be parked in a swale. In commercial and industrial areas
that are contiguous with residential areas, the property owners experience this problem.
James Miriana asked if any consideration has been given to the area on SE 7th Avenue
and SE 8th Avenue.
Mayor Taylor explained that this program is just beginning. The City Manager is putting
together a priority list similar to our resurfacing program.
City Manager Parker advised that if the Commission is in agreement with the concept of
this program, staff would require authorization to proceed. Each phase will come back to
the Commission as a special assessment project.

D. Consideration of Boynton Marina Incentive request
City Manager Parker advised that Mr. Garcia submitted a request for the City to look at
economic incentives for this project. The mechanism of the Ordinance has not been
adopted yet. The City Attorney is working on that now, and we should have that available
for first reading at the next meeting.
That Ordinance will set forth the criteria in the downtown area for any property owner
requesting incentives. These requests would come to the Commission on a case-by-case
basis.
Waiver of all City Permit, Inspection and Impact Fees - Since we do not have a specific
site plan and items approved, it was necessary to estimate the costs. The estimated cost
is $4,500.
Interim Service Fee - This fee is on a month-to-month basis based on the CO. This fee
could range from a Iow of $1,703 to a high of $19,655.
Building Permit Fee is 1.6% of the value of the project. This figure is $240,000. The boat
storage component is approximately $24,000 of that total fee.
The Impact Fee equals $189,963. The City has set aside $600,000 in the budget for
payment of impact fees. The City would be moving this money from one account into

another account in the Water and Sewer Fund.
Mr. Garcia has asked the City to provide drainage. This site has muck and there is an
environmental issue associated with it. We do not know the extent of the environmental
issues, nor do we know the pretreatment requirements into the Intracoastai. The DOT may
have some excess capacity in the new retention pond they are building at the corner of
Ocean Avenue and 6th. If DOT allows Mr. Garcia to drain into that pond, that would be a
relatively Iow cost solution to this problem. If not, it could be very expensive. Therefore,
no cost estimates for drainage are available.
In addition, City Manager Parker has another concern with the drainage issue which
involves the City doing work on private property.
Water and Sewer - The total for both items equals $415,554.
Waiver of Real Estate Taxes During Construction - The City has no authority to waive
real estate taxes.
Waiver of Property Assessment for a Period of Five Years - The City has no legal
jurisdiction over the amount of the property assessment.
Paving of Boynton Beach Boulevard - We provided a estimate for the end of the
pavement now and taking it forward to where the driveway would connect at the northwest
corner of the property. This estimate is $50,000-75,000.
The total amounts to $9414,672 of which the water and sewer would be an actual cash
outlay along with the paving of Boynton Beach Boulevard. At present, the County has
approved $150,000 for water and sewer work. We would have to resubmit for that grant
so that we can be requalified. However, they are holding that money for us if this project
qualifies.
Steve Baugh, representing Mr. Garcia, asked if the sewer line is included in the figure.
City Manager Parker responded affirmatively.
City Manager Parker advised that the previous developer's project was in excess of this
development. It was in the $55 million to $79 million range. The City's incentives were in
the neighborhood of $10 million.
Mayor Taylor feels the funds for building and impact fees would have to come out of the
funds that were budgeted for development. That would leave interim service fees, water
and sewer and Boynton Beach Boulevard. He feels we should approach the State to assist
with Boynton Beach Boulevard since that is a State road. These would be the enticements
necessary to get a $15 million development in our downtown, and Mayor Taylor is in favor

of this project.
Commissioner Tillman pointed out that a few meetings ago, representatives from the
Vision 20/20 Conference requested hiring a consultant. City Manager Parker explained
that the consultant will be pulling out planning items including revising the downtown
development plan, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard Corridor plan, US #1 and Boynton
Beach Boulevard Corridor plans. The RFP for that consultant will be on the next agenda,
but the consultant will not be hired until December of this year. The report will probably be
ready nine months after the consultant is hired.
Commissioner Tillman has a problem providing these incentives for only one project. He
would like to wait on a decision until the consultant provides a recommendation.
Mayor Taylor explained that this is not a unique situation. We offered similar incentives
in Quantum Park. Mayor Taylor's understanding of the work to be done by the consultant
is that he/she will look at overlay plans on how to change our zoning. The City has been
working on this marina project for a long time, and Mayor Taylor does not want to wait for
a consultant to be hired and for a report that might take an additional year to be prepared.
Commissioner Titcomb expressed his opinion that regardless of which project goes in, he
wants a total footprint commitment. He does not want a project to go forward and have us
wind up with a portion built and a portion unconstructed. If the Commission agrees to
incentives, there must be a commitment. He feels the incentives should be tied to the
developer's time line and commitment to the project. He is concerned with making an
agreement and then having the project sold off.
Mayor Taylor reminded everyone that during the workshop meeting, the discussion
centered around the entire project coming on line before any COs would be issued.
City Manager Parker advised that if the Commission conceptually approves the
recommendations, the Ordinance would have to be passed. A developer's agreement
would then be prepared and entered into with Mr. Garcia stating that the incentives are
only good for a specific period of time. The issue of the COs would be included in the
development agreement.
Mayor Taylor wants Mr. Garcia notified that the Commission is not approving Items 2, 5
and 6.
Commissioner Bradtey agreed with much of what Mayor Taylor said about this project and
the fact that it is an important part of the development of our downtown. However, he is
afraid that we may regret the fact that we are allowing boat storage in this area because
this project may not turn out to be the draw the City is looking for. He is not in agreement
with the people who suggested that the boat storage be built, and if we don't like it, we can

take it down. He realizes that once it is built, it will be here to stay. He checked into the
idea of a conditional use to limit the use to a certain period of time, but this is not a feasible
option. He realizes that the City will benefit from this project, but the City will benefit much
more from a project on these seven acres and on the surrounding 20 acres which will
involve the use of overlays. While he appreciates what Mr. Garcia is trying to do, he does
not believe this project will do what the City wants it to do. He stated that the people
whose opinions he values the most are two to one against boat storage. He will get behind
the project, but he does not think the Commission is moving forward with farsighted vision.
Mayor Taylor explained that he has heard the same type of comments from people who
feel we need a greater project on this site. However, no one else has come forward with
a development plan. He does not believe this project will be the "do all", but he does
believe it will be the spark to bring in new commercial to this area. He envisions this
project to go all the way to Seacrest Boulevard. This particular parcel is small. This project
is a start. The proposed restaurants for this site will create traffic in the area. Mayor Taylor
knows of no one who wants to invest $70 million er $80 million in the hope that someone
will come down to Ocean Avenue. This project will help to make the surrounding
properties much more valuable. Although boat storage is not ideal, we must give
something to get something. Mayor Taylor does not want to wait any longer. He wants to
see something happen.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz sees this project as a user-friendly project. After researching the
minutes, she realized that there are people who are objecting to this project today who
were in favor of it when it was the Lighthouse Marina. She does not understand what
happened to change their viewpoints.
D. K. Minck, manaqement a.qents for Boynton Beach Plaza, asked if this was a hearing
for site plan approval, or only a discussion of incentives.
Attorney Cherof explained that this is net a use approval. City Manager Parker said the
official approval of the boat storage usage is a conditional use and must have a public
hearing. The site plan approval must come through and the incentives must come back
and be tied to square footage of retail, residential, restaurant, or office space.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz requested that the City Attorney draw up a guide that would be
applicable to others in the area.
Motion
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz moved to accept Proposals #1,3, 4, and 7. Commissioner Titcomb

was
cade
Mr. Hawkins advised that the County dollar portion of this program is not yet settled. We
have not completed the written agreement between the City and the County. The County
is writing the agreement with each City; therefore, we will develop our guidelines for that
portion of the program after that agreement is complete. Staff will bring back that portion
of the program. Tonight's discussion centers around the City portion of this program.
In response to Mayor Taylor's question, Mr. Hawkins advised that the County is dealing
with this on a city-by-city basis. They are talking with each city to see exactly what will be
done. Mr. Hawkins is dealing with Pam Nolan.
City Manager Parker explained that the City's facade program is for residential and
commercial properties. The County dollars are for commercial properties only. In addition,
the City guidelines are for the exterior improvements of the building, and the County dollars
are for the interior of the building. The hope is to get these funds together so that the
inside and outside can be done together.
Commissioner Bradley asked how a determination will be made regarding the lending
institutions. Mr. Hawkins advised that we are working with lending institutions through
written agreements in our BHIP program. We will continue to deal with those same
institutions. We will develop an agreement which will work out the details. We will be
working with Barnett Bank, First Union, SunTrust, and Nations.
In the BHIP, the City was able to get the banks to agree to charge interest rates lower than
the market rate at the time the application was filed. We will try to work out similar
arrangements. Banks are generally not supportive of fee waivers, but we will try to get
them all to agree to some type of fee waiver.
The City will pay the interest on the loans that a qualified business applicant gets approved
through a participating bank. This is a two-step approval process. The businesses will fill
out a City application which will require City approval. Once approved, the applicant will
go to the bank that is participating and fill out a bank loan application. The City will provide
advice to help them meet the qualifications; however, we do not intend to get involved with
the bank approval process. These loans will be secured loans, and the loan agreement
will be between the business and the bank. If the business goes out of business, the City
will stop the interest payment on the loan.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz expressed concern that tenants will be allowed to apply for these
loans. Mr. Hawkins explained that the application requires dual signatures. The landlord
and the tenant will have to sign the application. We will let the banks know that both

parties are aware of what is happening when they apply for the loan. The City will not be
guaranteeing any leans. The easement situation will allow the City to have a say on the
upkeep and what goes in when the improvements are made.
Mayor Taylor asked who in the City will make the decision regarding which applications we
will support. Mr. Hawkins said the Community Redevelopment Officer, Community
Redevelopment Specialist, Economic Development Coordinator and a Construction
Manager will have that responsibility.
Mayor Taylor understands that the City may be able to make this program retroactive for
the people who have already made improvements. City Manager Parker explained that
four people applied and only two have done some work. One of the applications is for a
residential house on Ocean, and the other is Cathy Barrista. There were several others
who expressed interest, but they have not moved forward with any work.
Mayor Taylor asked the following question: If Cafe Barrista took out a $30,000 loan for
remodeling, how will the City decide which part of that loan was used for the outside of the
building, and which part was used for the inside of the building?
· City Manager Parker advised that we have a construction breakdown which lists individual
items. For the two people who have already done the work, the City may have to handle
the interest situation in a different way because a percentage of the interest would be
involved. Both of these applications have been submitted in the last two years.
Mr. Hawkins feels the City Commission needs to make a decision on how far back to go
for people who have made improvements. It is his recommendation that we do not go
back further than 12 months.
Based on comments from business people, the City has not included aesthetic regulations
in the agreement. We will allow people along the corridor to come to an agreement on
colors and textures. We are developing a portfolio of canopies and awnings, and we are
looking at textures that can be applied. We will provide advice on what we think will work.
We want to allow the people to be creative; however, if someone comes in with something
that is not compatible, the application will be denied.
City Manager Parker reminded the Commissioners that the City has an adopted downtown
plan that has colors and a nautical theme. Bob Currie provided a sketch of the fronts of
buildings for the Ocean Avenue 500 Block. We will have to combine those items because
the downtown plan is codified in the planning regulations.
Mr. Hawkins explained that if the Commission is pleased with the program as stated, staff
will move forward with the agreements with the banks, develop a marketing strategy, and
set a date to begin accepting applications.

A. Approval of Itinerary for City Manager Candidates
City Manager Parker referred to the suggested itinerary which was included in the back-up
material. There has been a request from Commissioner Tillman to delay the individual
interviews until 4:30 p.m. on Friday. As an alternative to the suggested itinerary, the
reception can be held on Thursday evening instead of Friday at City Manager Parker's
home. A tour of the City would be conducted from 9:00 a.m. until noon, followed by lunch
with the department heads. There would be free time from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. At
4:30 p.m., the individual interviews will begin and continue until approximately 9:30 p.m.
In reviewing the itinerary, the Commissioners decided to invite only the Chairperson of
each advisory board to the reception. If the Chairperson cannot attend, no one else will
be invited to attend in his/her place. The department heads will not be invited to the
reception, but will have lunch with the candidates on Friday.
At 9:00 a.m., Saturday, the interviews will begin again. The Commission will spend
approximately one hour with each candidate in a group forum. There will be a lunch break
following those interviews. The City Commission will reconvene after lunch to narrow the
list of candidates to three. There wilt be time remaining to interview each of the remaining
candidates for 30 minutes each.
The group interviews on Saturday morning are open to the public. At the Commission's
request, a list of suggested questions can be prepared. It is important to keep the
questions similar for each candidate so that there will be a comparison of the candidates.
City Manager Parker pointed out that the salary range has been advertised between
$75,000 and $90,000. Mr. Donaldson will do the contract negotiations for the Commission.
Attorney Cherof advised that the only time the Commission must be public would be during
the selection part of this process. There is no requirement under the Code or Statutes that

requires the Commission to conduct public interviews. The Commissioners can meet

not be able to meet collectively with them. In addition, there is no requirement that the
selection must be made at the end of the process. That selection can be deferred to the
next regular City Commission meeting. If a selection is made, the meeting must be public,
and, therefore, would require notice 24 hours in advance of the meeting.

Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, advised that Pure Air was brought in as
the project management team. We have spent the last two days meeting with the
employees. The logistics of moving through the building have been determined and
prioritized. Work will begin with the Fire Department and the West Wing, and then move
into Communications, City Hall, and the administration area. The section of the building
including the Chambers will be dealt with ~ast because of the amount of work to be done.
Pure Air will be in the building on Monday to perform base line testing in every space. This
testing should take two to three days, and we should have the results in 10 days. pure Air
will hire the remediation contractor. People will be on site by the end of the month or
during the first or second week of October.
We will pick up the renovation work in Fire Station #1 immediately and then complete the
remediation. Pure Air is developing cost estimates for the remediation. They will then look
at the proposals submitted by the remediation contractors. Those estimates will be
available by the end of next week.
The employees have a good understanding of how we plan to proceed. They will be
provided with information every two weeks. Pure Air will provide a computer-generated
time line which will be given out on a two-week basis. A bulletin board will be present in
the foyer of City Hall containing all information about the process. No completion date is
available yet. Once the contractor is on board, we will have a better time line. We hope
it will not take more than five or six months.
Mr. Hawkins advised that very few people will have to be moved out of their spaces. The
City Manager's Office and Finance will have to move to the Old School as well as the
employees on the first floor of the West Wing.
City Manager Parker advised that an Executive Session will have to be scheduled to

FORESTER/ENVIRONMENTALIST
Comments:
30. The applicant should submit landscape and irrigation plans for S.W. 8th Street
medians and right-of-ways. The plans should be reviewed and approved by the
Technical Review committee (TRC) for any possible conflicts. The plans should
show quantities, specifications and species of trees with any undersfory plantings. A
~note should be on the plans that the maintenance of the landscape/irrigation
~mprovements will be provided by the applicant's commercial a$~m'~i~finq.
31. The undisturbed open area portion of the site can be evaluated as a vegetative, visual
barrier only after all of the exotic vegetation has been removed from the site; There
may be voids in the visual buffer after the clearing of exotics that will have fo be
landscaped with native species and receive water until established. The present
elevation of this open area is higher than S.W. 8th Street and may change as part of
the project. These activities may affect whether the undisturbed open area can be
used as a visual buffer rather than the applicant planting/irrigating a new buffer along
the western perimeter of the project. The project should continue in the normal review
PARKS AND RECREATION
Comments:
32. As the developer has chosen not to provide five private basic park requirements, the
submittal does not qualify for one-half credit for pdvate recreation.
33. Based on the number of single family units, the following recreation fee applies:
84 single-family units X .0180 = 1.512 acres
As the developer has already paid one-half of the fee, his dedication is: 1.512 divided by
2 = .756 acres. Fee in lieu of land is recommended.

PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
34. To provide a more efficient layout of the project regarding street design for services
provided by the city such as fire rescue, emergency services and sanitation pick-up, it
is recommended that the lot design in the northeast and southwest portions of the project
be redesigned by omitting lots or creating pie shaped lots on a street radius rather than
allowing the short dead end streets that do not have a cul-de-sac turn-around.

41. It is recommended that the depth of lots 71 through 77 be reduced 0.5 feet to allow the
depth of lots 78 through 84 to be increased from 95 feet to 95.5 feet which would
establish a minimum lot size for the development of 4,037.5 square feet rather than the
proposed 3,990 square feet. The present minimum lot size, in the city for single-family
detached units, is 4,000 square feel
42. To clarify the minimum standards for the PUD, amend the project summaP/note 7 found
on sheet MP2 of 2 as follows:

Ordinance 89-18 is the ordinance that established the PUD. Rectify the Woolbdght Place
PUD
plat documents to correspond with Ordinance 89-18. It is recommended that the
land shown on the master plan within the Church Parcel that is not zoned PUD be
rezoned, by the applicant, from PCD to PUD, unless othe~Nise determined unnecessary
by the city attorney. Amend the legal description, plans and site data on sheet MP1 of
2 accordingly.
47. Sheet MP1 of 2 indicates that Pod 1 will have 5 common recreation amenities; however,

57. To install the buffer plan proposed by the applicant (25 feet wide abutting the north
property line of the PUD) in compliance with the FPL guidelines regarding planting trees
near overhead power lines, the tree materials identified on the plan would have to be
changed. The reason the tree material should be changed is that the north portion ofthe
proposed buffer overlaps a five foot wide utility easement that has overhead power lines.
One-half of the five (5) foot wide utility easement occupies the north 2.5 feet of lots 8
through 22. It is recommended that prior to plat approval the applicant submit a site
plan review request that depicts the buffer planting plans for all areas of the project that /
include buffer plantings on single.family platted lots. The submittal shall include

FORESTEPJENVIRONMENTALIST
Comments:
30. The applicant should submit landscape and irrigation plans for S.W. 8th Street
medians and right-of-ways. The plans should be reviewed and approved by the '
Technical Review committee (TRC) for any possible conflicts. The plans should
show quantities, specifications and species of trees with any understory plantings. A
note should be on the plans that the maintenance of the landscape/irrigation
improvements will be provided by the applicant's commercial e_~__nciation.
31. The undisturbed open area portion of the site can be evaluated as a vegetative, visual
barrier only after all of the exotic vegetation has been removed from the site. There
may be voids in the visual buffer after the clearing of exotics that will have to be
landscaped with native species and receive water until established. The present
elevation of this open area is higher than S.W. 8th Street and may change as part of
the project. These activities may affect whether the undisturbed open area can be
used as a visual buffer rather than the applicant planting/irrigating a new buffer along
the western perimeter of the project. The project should continue in the normal review
PARKS AND RECREATION
Comments:
32. As the developer has chosen not to provide five private basic park requirements, the
submittal does not qualif7 for one-half credit for pdvate recreation.
33. Based on the number of single family units, the following recreation fee applies:
84 single-family units X .0180 = 1.512 acres
As the developer has already paid one-half of the fee, his dedication is: 1.512 divided by
2 = .756 acres. Fee in lieu of land is recommended.

PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
34. To provide a more efficient layout of the project regarding street design for services
provided by the city such as fire rescue, emergency services and sanitation pick-up, it

To install the buffer plan proposed by the applicant (25 feet wide abutting the nortt
property line of the PUD) in compliance with the FPL guidelines regarding planting trees
near overhead power lines, the tree materials identified on the plan would have to be
changed. The reason:the tree matedal should be changed is that the north portion of the
proposed buffer overlaps a five foot wide utility easement that has overhead power lines.
One-half of the five (5) foot wide utility easement occupies the north 2.5 feet of lots 8
through 22. it is recommended that prior to plat approval the applicant submit a site
plan review request that depicts the buffer planting plans for all areas of the project that
include buffer plantings on single-family platted lots. The submittal shall include
planting plans for the north buffer that have been reviewed and approved by FPL. If the
FPL approval requires the omission of trees, reduction in tree size specifications or
change in location of tree matedal the, nor[h buffer easement and plantings shall be
moved into the site a distance that would allow FPL to approve the proposed planting
scheme and recommended planting specifications. The below listed planting changes
and specifications are recommended to be added to the proposed plan to describe a
typical 100 foot section of the buffer.
Trees: Specify the two (2) Red Cedar trees, three (3) Slash Pines, one (1) Live Oak,
two (2) Gumbo Limbo and throe (3) Sabal Palm trees shall be twelve (12) feet tall at time
of planting.
Hedges: Show fifty-one (51), twenty-four inch to thirty-six (24 to 36)inch tall Coco
Plum plants along the top of the four foot tall berm and space the plants 2 feet on center.
The plants shall form a continuous hedge row the entire length of the buffer.
Shrubs: The 24 Saw Palmetto plants shown on the plan shall be thirty to thirty-six
(30-36) inches fall (15 gallon) at time of planting. Install forty-eight (48), thirty-six inch to
forty-eight (36 to 48) inch tall Myrsine plants, spaced five (5) foot on center, alternating
12 plants each side of the top of the berm 25 foot intervals. For each 100 lineal feet of
buffer alternate Myrsine, Randia, Wax Myrtle, Florida Privet, Wild Coffee and Necklace
Pod plants. The shrubs shall be placed in a manner to form a meendedng shape of the
buffer as viewed from the plan view.
Ground Covem Omit the Purple and Yellow Lantana plants (deciduous) and replace
with a total of two hundred (200), 12 to 18 inch tall Liriope plants (evergreen). The Lidope
shall be planted on 12 inch centers with 100 plants installed on each side of the berm for
each 75 or 100 foot section of the buffer. The Liriope plants shall be installed to
accentuate the meandering shape of buffer.

58. To install the approved 25 foot wide landscape buffer plan, as identified in Resolutlor ~'-
R92-210, in compliance with the FPL guidelines regarding proximity of large trees to
overhead power lines, the location of the buffer, berm and large trees within the buffer
will have to be relocated so that the row of large trees shown on the north side of the plan
are 30 ~,et away from the power lines. The Slash Pine, Live Oak and Gumbo Limbo trees
identified on the approved plan are listed as large trees in the FPL brochure. It is
recommended that prior to plat approval the applicant submit a site plan review request
that depicts the buffer planting plans for all areas of the project that include buffer
plantings on single-family platted lots. The submittal shall include planting plans of the
north buffer that have been reviewed and approved by FPL If the FPL approval requires
trees to be omitted or a reduction in size specifications or change in tocatien of tree
material the north buffer easement and plantings shall be moved into the site a distance
consistent with FPL specifications. The below listed planting changes and specification
are recommended to be added to the approved buffer plan to clarify a typical section of
buffer plan.
Trees: First one hundred lineal feet of buffer plant three (3) (fifty foot oncenter), 12to
14 foot tall Live Oak trees placed three feet from the north side of the 25 foot wide buffer
easement and plant two (2) (fil~ foot on center alternating sPacing from the oaks located

Plum plants along the top of the four foot tall berm and space the plants 2 feet on center.
The plants shall form a continuous hedge row the entire length of the buffer. For each
100 foot or 75 foot section of the buffer Coco Plum and Wax Myrtle plants shall be
alternated.
Shrubs: Spot plant forty (40), forty-eight to sixty (48 to 60) inch tall, at time of planting,
containerized Saw Palmetto palms around each group of 14 Slash Pine frees (20 palms
on each side of the top of the berm). Install, forty-eight (48), thirty-six inch to forty-eight
(36 to 48) inch tall Randia plants, five (5) foot on center, alternating 12 plants each side
of the top of the berm at 25 foot intervals. For each 75 or 100 foot section of the buffer
alternate Randia, Myreine, Florida Privet, Wild Coffee or Necklace Pod plante. The
shrubs shall be placed in a manner to form a meandering shape of the buffer as viewed
from the plan view.
Ground Cover: Omit the Lantana plants (deciduous) and replace with a total of two
hundred (200), 12 to 18 inch tall Lidope plants (eve~?~en). The Liriope shall be planted

75 foot typical section. The plants are to be placec .~. accentuate the meandering shape
of the buffer. One hundred (100) Fakahatchee grass or Liriope plants may be alternated
each 100 foot or 75 foot section of the buffer.
It is recommended that this entire buffer be installed pdor to the issuance of the
Certificate of Occupancy of any recreation structure, sales model facility or of a
residential unit, whichever comes first.
59. To ensure that the north property line landscape buffer is continuous at the rear of lots
8 and 9, either move the proposed city utility easement six (6) feet to the south so that \~
the city utility easement does not encroach the landscape buffer easement or re-route ~ ~
the utility easement to run north and south between lots 9 and 10. I~.~..~c~ ~-.o,c/~ Z~
60. It is recommended that the approved landscape buffer easement and plar~ting be ,/
continued along the east and north sides of the land identified on the submitted plans as
Open Parcel Area (Undisturbed). The buffer should terminate at the east side of S.W.
8th Street at the northwest comer of the PUD. This recommendation may be omitted if
the City Forester/Environmentalist determines that the existing landscape material
located on the open parcel creates a buffer equal to the approved buffer.
