Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Bovnton Beach, Florida April 20, 2004
C.ll. Proposed Resolution No. R04-065 Re: Amending the
Cemetery Rules & Regulations to add a rule requiring that on all new
mausoleum sales, bodies to be placed in the mausoleum must be
embalmed. On previously purchased crypts, if a person does not wish to
be embalmed, the body must be placed in a Ziegler case. In addition, a
plastic tray must be placed under the casket on al_l entombments.
Brad Osborne, Vice President of Boynton Beach Mausoleum, Inc., said that prior to the
beginning of this meeting, he delivered letters to the City Commission listing the Mausoleum's
objections to the proposed resolution.
Mr. Osborne said that there is no evidence that embalming does anything other than delay the
process of a body's decay. They believe that the reason for the proposed resolution was
because of an incident that occurred that made the news where remains were entombed in the
Mausoleum. Through the negligence of the funeral home and/or a faulty casket, the remains
leaked out of the Mausoleum crypt and did some damage to adjoining crypts. Mr. Osborne was
only aware of three instances in the history of the Mausoleum where this has occurred. In all
three events, there were sealed caskets and in two of them, the bodies were embalmed.
Mr. Osborne had a strong belief that embalming should be a matter between the family and the
funeral home director. He felt that embalming would be a direct benefit to funeral homes
because of the charge for the process.
There may be some faiths that prohibit embalming. Therefore, the proposed resolution would
discriminate against certain members of the community. Requiring this process would also
have a negative impact on the Mausoleum's ability to market crypts as it would increase the
cost.
Mr. Osborne felt that it would be contrary to established principles of law to come back and add
an additional expense that was not set forth in the contract already entered into.
He felt that if there is any item that creates a potential problem, it is the requirement of sealed
caskets. Sealed caskets were a requirement passed by a former City Commission, based on a
recommendation from the Cemetery Board. There is a valve on a sealed casket. As the body
naturally decays, gases emanate from the body. If the casket is sealed, the only way that the
gas is released is through the valve. If the valve malfunctions, the gas continues to
accumulate, build up pressure and can result in an incident similar to one that we had. A non-
sealed casket allows any natural gases to ease out over time in a natural process.
Mr. Osborne felt that it was a direct conflict of interest to have people who are employed by
funeral parlors serving on the Cemetery Board. They could benefit financially if a body goes
into the ground rather than a mausoleum.
Mr. Osborne requested that the proposed resolution be denied and that the City Commission
take a look at the membership of the Cemetery Board.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Bovnton Beach, Florid~ April 20, 2004
Commissioner McCray did not agree with what Mr. Osborne said. As a funeral director and an
embalmer, Commissioner McCray said that there is no conflict of interest with selling a crypt at
a Mausoleum. There are no kickbacks by selling cemetery plots. Commissioner McCray said it
was not the remains that leaked out; it was the fluids. There are 901 unoccupied crypts in the
Mausoleum. Those people that already have crypts will be grandfathered in.
Mayor Taylor commented that the incident was extremely costly. He asked whether the
Mausoleum paid any of the cost. City Manager Bressner replied that they did not.
Commissioner Ensler asked City Attorney Cherof whether he has had a chance to look into
these kinds of items before.
City Attorney Cherof said that he had. It was his opinion that the adoption of the rule does not
violate the terms or conditions of the current contract with the Mausoleum company nor does it
constitute an interference with their ability to contract.
Vice Mayor Ferguson commented that he did not think it was fair to the Commission to be
handed a letter tonight from the Mausoleum company and be expected to evaluate it.
MQtiQn
Commissioner McCray moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. 04-065. Vice Mayor
Ferguson seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
E.1. Mariners Way (ZNCV O4-001), 800 Mariners Way - Request relief
from Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 5.C.2.A, requiring a minimum front yard
setback of 40 feet, to allow for a variance of 30 feet, and a front yard
setback of 10 feet for a structure within an R-3 zoning district
Mayor Taylor explained that staff and the CRA recommended denial of this item. They did not
feel there was a hardship. Mayor Taylor felt that there is a hardship because there is currently
no bathroom facility near the pool. He visited the site and saw no better place to put it than
where it is proposed to be located. There is a neighbor who is concerned that the tiki hut
would block his view but he had no problem with the restroom. Mayor Taylor understood that
the applicant was willing to lower the tiki hut by two feet. He asked whether that would be
acceptable to the neighbor.
Aola Walden, 844 East Drive, was concerned regarding noise from the tiki hut. Tt will be
within 10 feet of her community and that is where people will congregate for parties. She had
no problem with the restroom.
Seamus Murphy, 760 Mariners Way, explained that the tiki hut was built without a permit
and that was a big mistake. Mariners Way is a community of 32 units. It is about 1/4 mile from
the end unit to the pool so it is inconvenient to use a restroom. They put the tiki hut at the
location it is because it was the logical place for it. They are willing to lower the height of the
tiki hut by two feet.

Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Be~ch, Florid~ April 20, 2004
Regarding the noise concern, Mr. Murphy said that this community is not a large one and it is a
mixed age community. There has never been a noise problem there. They are just looking for
a place to get out of the sun and watch their children.
Commissioner McKoy asked what the hours of operation would be. Mr. Murphy said that it is
open to residents all the time. They must use a key to enter and exit.
Buddy Hurwit said that he and his wife own the property immediately adjacent to the
swimming pool area. They bought this property 11/2 years ago with the intention of building a
waterfront home. They went to the Planning & Zoning Division and were assured that there
was a 40-foot setback and it would be impossible for Mariners Way to ever build anything there.
Mr. Hurwit closed on the property and found that this tiki hut was built approximately 10 feet
from his property line and it is about 111/2 feet high from the deck of their pool. Photographs
were presented that are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
Mr. Hurwit was concerned that the tiki hut would block his view. l~f the hut would remain as it
is, he requested that the Commission deny this variance. However, he felt that a compromise
could be worked out with the residents of Mariners Way. l:f they made the tiki hut with a
sloped roof instead of a pitched roof and there was a height limit of 8 feet, he would not object.
Also, he had no objection to the restroom.
Mayor Taylor thought that was a good compromise.
K. P. Hislop, Agent for the applicant, explained that the height of the tiki hut is now 1:1' 2".
He felt that there might be a danger of people walking into it if they lower it to 8 feet. He could
accept 9 feet. Mayor Taylor suggested placing a warning sign there. Mr. Hislop then agreed to
8 feet.
City Attorney Cherof stated that he concurred with staff's opinion that the applicant has not
established a legal basis for granting the variance. Our code is a hardship based variance
process. Under Florida law, hardship means that absent the variance, there would be no use of
the property at all. However, there is use of the property. Therefore, this does not meet the
legal standard for granting a variance.
Commissioner Ensler asked whether there was anything in the code that requires a bathroom
by the pool. Mike Rumpf, Planning & Zoning Director, said that he could not speak regarding
technical codes.
Commissioner Ensier asked whether the requested bathroom was ADA compliant. Mr. Rumpf
said they did not have plans to veriff/that. Commissioner Ensler did not understand how the
Commission could vote on something without plans being submitted.
Mr. Rumpf explained that when a variance is being reviewed, all staff needs are the
characteristics of the site and structures. One of the criteria that they use to review a hardship
is that the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use
of the land, building and structure. Tn his professional opinion, where a structure can be placed

B0Yntpn Bepch, Flprid~ Aoril 20, 2004
an additional one foot away minimizing the variance by a foot, then that criteria has not been
met. It is staff's opinion that the bathroom has been placed where it is to further justify
supporting the existing structure that is partially constructed.
Commissioner Ensler asked whether there was a reasonable place to put it where no variance
would be required. Mr. Rumpf said that was true for the bathroom. However, he conceded
that it would not be ideal for the applicant as it may not be as close to a water or sewer line as
they would like and it may interfere with green areas.
Commissioner Ensler was surprised that a variance was needed for a tiki hut because it is totally
opened. He asked what the code says regarding this type of structure.
Mr. Rumpf explained that a tiki hut is defined as a structure and therefore, subject to setbacks.
There are exemptions in the zoning regulations that provide setback relief for certain elements
and they are specifically defined. A few examples are trellises, eaves, cornices, fences and
accessory structures. There are height or size stipulations with many of these.
Commissioner McCray commented that a compromise has been reached. There is a need for a
bathroom. ]:t is an improvement to the property and he was in favor of granting the tiki hut
with an 8-foot height and allowing the bathroom to stay where it is.
Mayor Taylor agreed.
Commissioner Ensler was willing to vote for it also. He was concerned regarding the City
Attorney's comments. This structure could be called many things. The compromise fits within
the requirements of the code. With regard to the bathroom, he felt that reasonableness is a
matter of hardship and he would vote for that.
Vice Mayor Ferguson was in favor of the bathroom but he thought it was a dangerous
precedent to set with the tiki hut and he could not vote for that.
Commissioner McKoy thought it would be appropriate to allow the bathroom. There has been a
compromise made with the roof of the tiki hut. He had some concerns regarding the legal
issues.
Aola Walden, 844 East Drive, asked whether the Commission could stipulate some
conditions of approval for how late or how loud they could be if they approved this.
Mayor Taylor explained that it was a gated community and the Commission could not restrict
them. Tf there were a noise complaint, they would investigate that.
Motion
Commissioner McCray moved to grant Mariners Way the 8-foot tiki hut with a sign reading,
"Please watch your head" and let the bathroom remain where it is. Commissioner McKo¥
seconded the motion.

Marshall Gage, Police Chief, explained that this item is a 20 to 30 second anti-drug
campaign/recruitment campaign. With the City's Early Retirement Incentive Plan, he would be
losing 13 officers over the next six months. Some funds are required to go into anti-drug
programs and this meets the criteria for that. It would also help with recruitment. There will

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida ADril 20, 2004
Dick Hudson, Senior Planner, presented the item. He explained that these were proposed
amendments to the zoning regulations for Mixed Use-High intensity and Mixed-Use Low
intensity. The location where this would be applied is the Federal Highway corridor between
the Boynton C-16 Canal on the north and Woolbright Road on the south and between the
Tntracoastal Waterway on the east and the right-of-way of the Florida East Coast Railway on
the west.
Staff made some changes that are contained in the staff report. The first changes were with
the schedule of permitted, principal, accessory and conditional uses. They added several
including the live-work units as permitted uses in both zoning districts. They also added Self-
storage or Mini Warehouse use as a conditional use only in the Mixed-Use Low zoning district.
Supplemental regulations for both of those new uses were added.
At the request of the CRA Director, they added Boutique Hotel as a conditional use in the
Mixed-Use High and required it to be a part of a mixed-use project. They looked at some
conditional uses and felt that the conditions in the use table were sufficient. A few uses were
left as conditional uses. They discovered that Marina had not been allowed as a use in the
district and they added this as a conditional use.
There have been two public hearings and a workshop with the CRA and extensive input from
INCA. Most of the suggestions have been incorporated into the ordinance.
They changed the building site regulations. They increased the setback in the Mixed-Use High
to 15 feet in order to get broader sidewalks in the downtown area. They added Iocational
requirements for all uses other than single-family detached and duplexes. The height and
density is based on the road on which the project fronts. If a project fronts on a local street, it
can only be a single-family detached project or a duplex.
They added additional requirements for the rezoning of single-family residential to go to a
Mixed-Use zoning district.
There was a recommendation from the CRA to make Performing Arts Theater a conditional use
in the Mixed-Use Low district. Tt is now only a conditional use in the Mixed-Use High district.
The CRA also requested to add Fine Arts Auction House as a permitted use in the Mixed-Use
High district. If the Commission wishes to do that, staff will add a definition for Fine Arts
Auction House.
The other suggestions from CRA were to reduce the minimum parcel size for a hotel from three
acres to one acre and reduce the average size of minimum living area for apartments or multi-
family from 1,000 square feet to 850 square feet.
Mr. Hudson said that staff recommends approval of the text amendments.
Buck Buchanan, 807 Ocean Inlet Drive, is the president of the ]~nlet Cove Association, also
known as INCA. At the CRA meeting, it was mentioned that single-family dwellings were a
permitted use. Mr. Hudson replied that they are.

MeeUng Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Bovnton Be~ch, Florid~ April 20, 2004
Mr. Buchanan thanked staff for their hard work and for incorporating public input into the final
product. These mixed-use regulations, in conjunction with the Land Development Regulations
and design guidelines to be promulgated later this year, should result in desirable development
within the CRA. He wanted to make it clear on the record that INCA wants to have its
residential areas removed from consideration for mixed-use. They did not think it was
appropriate to have mixed-use within their residential areas. Also, they are looking forward to
the development of IPUD regulations that are as harmonious with the neighborhoods as these
mixed-use regulations appear to be.
3ason Mankoff, Weiner & Aronson, 102 N. Swinton Avenue, Delray Beach, reviewed
the definition of Hotel and Hotel Boutique. Under the definition of Hotel, it says a building
containing 20 or more guest rooms. Hotel Boutique is defined as containing :[0 to :[5 guest
rooms. He wondered whether there was an intent to eliminate the :[6 to :[9 unit hotels.
Mr. Hudson said that he could incorporate that change.
Hike Fitzpatrick, 175 SW 2nd Street, said that the Greenways Task Force was looking for a
linkage along the east side of the FEC Railroad running the whole length of the FEC Railroad.
The main way to get some of that land now was to bargain with the developers. Mr. Fitzpatrick
wanted to know whether this would strengthen or weaken the Commission's ability to obtain
this strip of land.
Mr. Hudson said that greenways have not been addressed in this code review.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked whether this would automatically change all the zoning when this passes.
City Manager Bressner explained that this does not change the zoning at all. A developer must
come in and request the zoning. As long as the property has a underlying land use of mixed-
use, that is the first step and then the property would have to be rezoned to allow for this.
Each development stands on its own.
Commissioner McCray commented that :iNCA wants the residential areas out of the mixed-use.
Mr. Hudson said that would require a land use amendment for those properties.
City Manager Bressner felt that INCA should formalize that in a letter and then that would be a
policy matter for the Commission to consider as a potential amendment to the land use plan.

Vice Mayor Ferguson moved to approve with the recommendations from the CRA.
Commissioner McCray seconded the motion that carried unanimously.

Division, the Building Division and the Occupational Licensing Division. Those are the three
areas where the City can capture businesses coming in that potentially would store hazardous
materials. :It is normally reviewed as part of a site plan if we know the business that will occupy
the site. [f they are coming in with a generic site plan that is a warehouse or a shell building, it
is then caught at building permit or occupational licensing time.
Commissioner Ensler noted that the requirement at the top of page 6 of the ordinance says that
the application is part of the site plan. He asked that if someone came in with storage of
chemicals, would that be required as part of the site plan.

1. Tntentionally left blank
2. Reconsideration of Ordinance No. 04-009 regarding consolidation of
powers of the Nuisance Abatement Board and the Code Compliance
Board
Mayor Taylor thought that the only consideration was that the Chair had to be an attorney. City
Attorney Cherof explained that, by State Statute, the Nuisance Abatement Board Chair must be
an attorney. Commissioner McCray wanted to know whether he was correct in thinking that the
Chair of the Code Compliance Board would not be required to be an attorney; however, if there
was a nuisance abatement case, he would need to step aside and let the Chair of the Nuisance
Abatement Board step in.
City Attorney Cherof replied that Commissioner McCray was correct and if no attorney was
available to serve as chair, someone would need to be contacted in advance and appointed to
be the Chair Pro-rem.
The consensus was to remove this item from the agenda and let Ordinance No. 04-009 stand.
3. Reconsideration of Ordinance No. 04-010 regarding consolidation of
powers of the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals with the
Planning and Development Board
Vice Mayor Ferguson said that the Building Board of Adjustment & Appeals meets very
infrequently and this ordinance would impose the requirements for that board onto the Planning
& Development Board that meets regularly and does a very good job.
Motion
Vice Mayor Ferguson moved to rescind Ordinance No. 04-010. Commissioner McCray seconded
the motion.
Commissioner Ensler said that the requirement for membership on the Planning & Development
Board is that preference be given, where possible, to design professionals licensed in the
disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, landscape designing and planning. He felt
that it was good to have people on the Board that understand the technical issues. It is also
good to have people on the board who are not design professionals who can see the items from
25
MeeUng Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
BoYnton Beach, Florida April 20, 2004
a different perspective. He felt that a mixture on the Board was healthy. By combining the
Boards, items that go to the Building Board of Adjustment IA Appeals will now go to the
Planning lA Development Board where the experience of that Board will lead to better decisions
dealing with appeals.
After the last Commission meeting, the Chair of the Planning lA Development discussed this
issue with him. He thought they were starting to see some value in having some number of
people who are on the Planning & Development Board with some technical background. He
believes this is a significant improvement and would help the board better address the issues.
City Attorney reported that the item on the agenda is to reconsider; therefore, a motion to
rescind would require a super-majority vote.
Vice Mayor Ferguson withdrew his motion to rescind.
City Attorney Cherof explained that if the motion to reconsider is passed, the issue is back for
discussion of the second reading of the Ordinance. If the Commission does not pass it, then
the ordinance dies. However, this would not require a super-majority vote.
Motion
Vice Mayor Ferguson made a motion to reconsider Ordinance No. 04-010. Commissioner Ensler
seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
City Attorney read Proposed Ordinance No. 04-010 by title only.
Lee Wische, :~302 SW :1.8u~ Street, said that he and Commissioner Ensler discussed the
situation. Commissioner Ensler suggested having four people who were certified. He felt that
four certified and five at-large people were a good combination. However, he did not realize
that there are already three people on the Planning lA Development Board that are certified.
They are Mike Fitzpatrick, builder; Sergio Casaine, certified on building docks all over the world
and Steve Myott.
The Planning lA Development Board puts in many hours and he felt that the members were
qualified because most of the time the Commission accepts their recommendations. Mr. Wische
thought that this was a "slap in the face" that said the Commission does not really think the
Board is doing the job and wanting to put in a few people from the Building Board of
Adjustment lA Appeals who meet every three or four years and never come to a Commission
meeting.
Mayor Taylor said that this was to combine two boards, one of which rarely meets. He asked
City Attorney how the next item, item 4, tied in with item 3.
City Attorney Cherof explained that item 4 was a proposal to address the concern that the
criteria of the Building Board of Adjustment lA Appeals would suddenly be the requirements for
the Planning lA Development Board. It was an attempt to find a balance on the Planning lA
Development Board and to have four members who are licensed professionals and five lay
members. However, when the Board would hear a matter of appeal of the Building Code, then
26

the Chairman would comprise a hearing board of three of the four professionals and one
additional member and the Chair.
MgtiQn
Mayor Taylor moved to consolidate the powers of the Building Board of Adjustment & Appeals
with the Planning & Development Board and that it be comprised of a minimum of four licensed
individuals and five at-large people. When they are hearing issues concerning the Building
Board of Adjustment & Appeals, the meeting be conducted as outlined by the City Attorney.
Commission Ensler seconded the motion with the following change: remove the word
"minimum" for technical people, which means there would always be five at-large people on the
board. Mayor Taylor accepted the amendment to the motion.
VQte
A roll call vote was requested. City Clerk Prainito called the roll and the motion failed 2 to 3
with Vice Mayor Ferguson, Commissioner McCray and Commissioner McKoy dissenting.
City Attorney Cherof clarified that Ordinance 04-010 failed on second reading.

$. Statement of goee'...ml eo'a~ions, hardships or reasons mstifvin~' reouested ~ or vattan~,
Respond ,to six (6) questions below (A-F) on a se_tmrate sheet.
not applicable to otl~ landg ~ctures or buitdi~, ln th~ ~m~ m~ird ~trlct:
We ave planning to §uild a tild hat and bathroom in the pool area for the safety and convenience of
homtowners. The commnuity comprises thirty-two townhouses, and the pool is small. There art no
shade trees. The 40' sethatk was intended for the roadway and turnaround which is contiguous to the
pool The homes adjacent are single family.
When Manatee Cove was constructed in 1986 Code did not require a bathroom at the pool Now, a
variance is necessary for as to bring it up to code mandated by Florida Building Code, Chapter
424.1.6.1. sec. exception. Also, the tiki hut is planned to provide shade for pool users since there are no
shade trees there. Both structures benefit the health and welfare of homeowners and guests.
Other applicants in the tuning district have, in fnet, received variances. Eight landowners in the
llarbor Estates have been granted 10' rear setbacks. Two of these, lots 838 and 39, are e0nfignous to
the pool area of Manatee Cove. Also, Mariners Village, which is across the canal in clear view of our
community, has both a fiki hut and bathroom at the community pool Our not providi~ n bathroom
at the pool presents an inconvenienee for komcowners; more importantly, it jeopardizes the hmlth of
pool users (Florida Building Code, Chapter 424.1.6.1).
Clearly, variances have been granted to landowners in Harbor Estates to build structures which loom
over our pool area.. Also, Manatee Cove homeowners must leave the pool to use rest-rooms at home (a
walk of up to 974 feet); Mariners V'dlage homeowners, on the other hand, have the convenience of a
restroom at the pool Protection from the sun, not provided at Manatee Cove, is afforded Mariners
V'dlage in the form of a tiki hut siniilar to the one we would tike to build. Such sun protection is
essential protection for people of all ages who use the pool
The position of the tiki hut provides shade in an area away from the pool itself- Considering the size
and configuration of the pool area, road/turnaround, and the water pipes, there are no other places to
construct the bathroon~ Thus, the variance requested is the minimum variance to provide a lOt rear
set-back to construct the minimum structure all,wed by the Florida Access Code, Le. 5'8" X 5'8".
This will be a unisex bathroom with handicap faeiliffesti~ will ~viate a health hazard for pool mers.
F. That the grarth~ ~ ~ ~ll be tn harrno~with the general intent ardpurlx~ of this chapter and that such ~
will not b~, infitri~ to the area involved or othan~e tlgttm~al to the public welfar~
The bathroom and tiki hut are necessary, foe. the health.and gafety of users of the pool These
structures conform to the intent of the chapter to make the recreation area safe for people
using it while protecting the environment; it does not interfere in any way with the well-being
of neighbors or any other members of the public. Also, the desi~, and color conform to that
of the townhouses and will blend aesthetically.

RE: PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR DUNKIN DONUTS 1317 S FEDERAL HIGHWAY-
BOYNTON BEACH- CONDITIONAL USE JUSTIFCATION
A- PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The overall purpose and intent of this request to demolish and replace the existing Dunkin Donuts
building located at 1317 South Federal Highway.
It is based on two pdmary reasons:
1) The existing Dunkin Donuts store is over thirty years old, undergone several improvements, and
is currently nearing the end of its life cycle. So that any further improvements would be
economically meaningless and would not resolve the problems created by changing
demographics and different customer needs over the past years.
2) Due to changing demographics resulting in a different traffic pattern and customer needs have
generated the need, more than ever, for a drive thru, pick up window. Business, over the years,
has transformed from a traditional' sit down 'coffee shop to a lake out' high volume coffee shop.
Currently approximately sixty percent of the overall busineSs is "take out".
The approval of this request will better serve the welfare safety and the general health of the
community now and into the future
B-JUSTIFICATION:
1) Current site parking and access configuration creates congestion, conflicting traffic flow and
virtually no pedestrian circulation, which is an endangerment to the safety of the customers,
visiting the store, and general public travelling along Federal Highway.
The proposed site plan will alleviate these problems by providing direct pedestrian access from
the public side walk on Federal Highway, improve traffic flow and circulation significantly by
allowing a two way traffic on the north side, but at the same time allowing full access around the
entire building by providing a by pass lane. It will also alleviate the congestion currently caused by
'take out" customers who have currently to park their vehicles for pick up of their orders, by
providing a drive thru pick up window. It will also allow easier and quicker pick up of refuse
collection, with separate ingress and egress, currently unavailable and additionally full access
and circulation to emergency vehicles around the entire building.
2) The proposed improvements will provide improved buffedng to the West Side of the property, by
a providing a 6' high solid concrete wall and 4' high hedge. To adjacent properties to the north
and south by adding landscaping to soften the noise and activity within the site. The site lighting
is shielded on both the west and south property lines to minimize glare and over spill at nighttime.
Improvements will add a loading area, currently unav*ailable, better landscaping, improved night
EXHIBIT "D".
time lighting, better shielding and buffedng to adjacent preperties resulting in a new facility that
will be suited to serve the community better and at the same time premoting the welfare, safety
and general health of the community at large.
3) Proposed location and configuration of refuse containment will provide safer and quicker refuse
collection.
Enclosure, along with proposed landscaping, will shield the refuse container. (Currently there is
no enclosure).
It is also proposed to use the dumpster access lane also as a loading zone. Although this may
raise concerns, typically deliveries occur between 12.00 midnight to 2.00 am whereas refuse pick
up is between 6 and 7 am twice a week, and is expected to take only a few minutes with the
proposed configuration. Also customer traffic is minimal at this time, and proposed north entrance
will allow both ingress and egress for this particular reason, should both the by pass lane and the
drive thru lane be blocked at the same time, customere may exit through the north entrance.
Speclrmally parking spaces on the south side, of the building, will be designated for the exclusive
use of employees only thereby ensudng free access for customers to the building at all times.
4) Currently all the utilities, required for the proposed improvement, including water, sewer,
electricity and natural gas are existing, and should be adequate for the proposed improvements.
5) Proposed landscaping, a vast improvement from what is existing will previde better screening
buffering, appearance and soften the activity within the site from adjacent properties. The
proposed landscaping will comply with the city's latest standards. Irrigation, currently non-
existent, will also be provided.
6) Proposed signage will comply with current city codes. Signage will only be provided on the west
side of the building, facing federal highway, thereby shielding the south and north properties. A
monument sign on the north east comer of the preperty will replace the current non-compliant
pylon sign. Overall square footage will be less than the maximum allowed by the city sign code.
The proposed signage will minimize the impact on the adjacent preperties.
7) The proposed set backs exceed the minimum required by the city's codes and additional
landscaping along Federal Highway, currently non-existent, will be provided.
8) The proposed use will remain unchanged from its current use. Use is consistent with the current
and future zoning designations for the site (Community Commercial- C3) and use of Local Retain
Commercial (LRC) and also with the properties located to the north and south. It will serve the
high density and medium densities residential properties to the east and west sides well at the
same time providing the necessary buffering and screening.
9) The proposed height of 21 feet ,measured at the highest point of the monolith, is well below the
code allowed height of 45', thereby providing a building that is in harmony with the adjacent
buildings
10) The proposed improvements will bener~ the community and the city in providing a better and
renewed economic stature and tax revenue base. We believe the proposed improvements are
consistent with the city's redevelopment plans for this district and changing demographics.
11) The proposed improvements are in compliance with the city's standards as set forth in Chapter 4
of the Land Development Regulations.
12) The proposed improvements are in full compliance with the city's Noise Control Ordinance
specifically chapter 15, section 15.8 of the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances.
