i. Call to Order
In the absence of the Chairperson, Vice Chair Tillman presided and called the meeting
to order at 6:07 p.m.
I1. Budget Workshop
Doug Hutchinson, CRA Director, reported that this was the third budget he has
prepare~. The figures contained under the heading "Current Year/Adjusted for Roll Over
2003/2004 (color coded in tan) has backup in the same color in the back of the budget
document. This is a roll over budget, which means these are commitments made
through the end of this year that will be paid from next year's budget. This budget does
not match last year's budget because some of the funds were not spent.
The next column in white contains the figures for 2004/2005. Mr. Hutchinson stated that
he would be going over some line items that are new or have experienced a sizeable
adjustment.
2004~005
Revenues & Available Funds - $3.5 million
This figure is up $1 million from last year
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that only two years ago the entire TIF was $980,000.
Other Revenue Income -
$120,000 - Trolley Grant

Meeting Minutes =-
Community Redevelopment Agency Budget Workshop
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 8, 2004
Mr. Hutchinson reported that they would find out by July 15th whether they would be
receiving this grant. Since this is a pilot program, they would be able to receive
additional grant funding in addition to advertising revenues. The Traffic Concurrency
Exemption Area Study that enables the CRA to have massive development downtown
with concurrency mandates that a trolley system be put in. This will eventually tie into
Tri-Rail and Palm Tran.
With regard to funds received for payment in lieu of parking, staff is considering using
some of these funds to underwrite the funding of the trolleys.
Ms. Horenburger inquired why the grant projections for the year 2007/2008 went down
and then went back up to the original amount the next fiscal year. Mr. Hutchinson stated
that this was only a forecast. Once the CRA is in the MPO system and has an approved
trolley system, they would be eligible for other grant sources.
Mr. Hutchinson also-stated that when staff seeks approval of the budget, the approval
would be to allow for adjustment of the previous year's budget, plus the budget in the
"white column" entitled "Year 2004/2005." The figures for the years 2005/2006 through
2008/2009 are projections and should be considered a planning tool.
Expenditures
> Personnel Costs - $324,730
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that the biggest increase in this item is insurance. They are
requesting a new staff person to fill a bookkeeping position. Ms. Vielhauer's work
responsibilities have increased and a bookkeeper is needed so that Ms Vielhauer can
devote her time as the Controller and to free her up from the routine bookkeeping
duties. It is .anticipated that the starting salary would be around $35;000 mid-point and
that Ms. Vielhauer would supervise this person. Mr. Hutchinson reported that the CRA's
first audit resulted in no audit exceptions, which is outstanding.
Mr. DeMarco recommended that the CRA try to hire a retired CPA who wanted some
additional income to fill this position. With this experience, he felt that they would be the
most qualified to do the job. Ms. Horenburger inquired if this would be a fulltime
position. Mr. Hutchinson noted that cities that have CRAs with this size budget have up
to seven staff members and they only have four; this would be a fulltime position.
At the next Board meeting, they will be bringing over $100 million in projects He
anticipates that by the end of the year they would see another $300 million to $400
million in projects.
> Lobbying - State & Federal - $60,000 5615
Vice Chair Tillman questioned this item. Mr. Hutchinson reported that $30,000 would be
used for State lobbying and $30,000 for Federal. They would be piggybacking with the
Meeting Minutes --
Community Redevelopment Agency Budget-Workshop
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 8, 2004
City contracts. Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that there are several issues that have arisen
that could affect the CRA. The City has a lawsuit on building height that might
eventually involve the CRA.
Vice Chair Tillman did not think that the CRA should be involved in lobbying, and he
would like to see these expenses justified. Mr. Hutchinson explained that Boynton
Beach Boulevard has an FDOT easement problem that needs to be removed and it is
necessary to lobby FDOT to get this accomplished. Vice Chair Tillman felt that this
should be the City's responsibility. Mr. Hutchinson explained that the City requested that
the CRA assist with lobbying efforts.
Ms. Horenburger asked what the City's costs were for lobbying. Mr. Hutchinson stated
that the City spends $60,000 at each level. He pointed out that the City requested that
the CRA allocate this amount for lobbying in its budget. Ms. Horenburger inquired what
the City is paying in relationship to what the CRA is being asked to pay. Mr. Hutchinson
said he would find this out and report back to the Board.
City Staff- $7,500
Ms. Horenburger inquired what this was attributable to. Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that
this is for clerical services provided by the City Clerk's Office that included taking the
minutes of meetings and are the only services that they pay for.
Legal - $175,000
Ms. Horenburger inquired why there was such a great increase in legal services. Mr.
Hutchinson responded that there are several potential pending lawsuits. The expected
legal costs are $75,000. The CRA has $100,000 in reserve for special projects that may
never be used, but if the CRA needs these funds for special legal counsel, they would
be available.
Mr. Myott inquired if there were legal expenses for eminent domain and Mr. Hutchinson
stated that these costs were included in acquisition costs.
> Contracted Services - $275,000
Mr. Hutchinson noted that there was a big decrease' in contracted services because
many of the CRA studies have been updated and funds have already been expended.
The costs may even go down further as time progresses because a lot of the contracted
services dealt with construction projects.
lMr. Hutchinson introduced Jonathan Ricketts, who is the CRA's
management specialist for the Boynton Beach-Boulevard Extension.

Meeting Minutes =
Community Redevelopment Agency Budget Workshop
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 8, 2004
Rent and Mortgage $19,200
Mr. Hutchinson stated that at the next Board Meeting he would be seeking approval to
rent a different office in the building that they currently occupy. The new office has a
much better set up than the current one. The rent will increase from $1,000 to $1,600
per month. The new office has private conference rooms and is located near the current
office. The existing office would be occupied by the Police Department that needs to
maintain an office in the downtown area. At the last meeting, the Board encouraged
staff to find something to purchase and this expense is anticipated in later years.
Association Meetings & Seminars - $11,222
It is anticipated that some staff would be requesting to attend the International
Downtown Association Conference and other conferences.
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that even with the increase for an additional employee,
lobbying and legal expenses, there is still only a $175,000 increase in this budget from
last year's budget. Debt service decreased from 12.6% to 9.2% and operating expenses
went down from 44.2% to 37.1%.
Mr. Myott inquired about the loan on the books. Mr. Hutchinson explained that the CRA
borrowed $3 million to assemble property for a downtown parking structure. It was later
determined that the CRA should enter into partnerships with private entities, rather than
trying to build a parking structure. Because the loan has a repayment penalty, it would
not be feasible to pay the loan off eady. The financial expert that the CRA hired is
looking into retiring this loan. The funds are invested in the meantime and are being
used for other projects.
Programs
There is not much change for this item from last year. The CRA will have its own Police
Force with four fulltime officers; its own equipment; two police cars; four bicycles; and
full uniforms with appropriate gear. They will provide extra coverage above and beyond
the normal police patrols. The contract for these services will be on the agenda for the
next CRA meeting. The CRA will pay for the four Officers, plus 10% for administration.
Vice Chair Tillman asked what the actual costs would be for the Police Contract. Mr.
Hutchinson stated it would initially cost $250,000 and $350,000 has been allocated in
next year's budget. Therefore, the cost of the Police Contract for one year and four
months comes to $600,000. Vice Chair Tillman said that originally the figures had been
less. Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that the Officers chosen for the CRA are costing more,
but this is due to their having extensive experience and expertise in the areas needed.
The Officers would be at the next Board meeting to meet the members.
5617
Vice Chairman welcomed and introduced Mayor Taylor who joined the meeting. Mayor
Taylor requested to address the Board.

Meeting Minutes ....
Community Redevelopment Agency Budget 'Workshop
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 8, 2004
Mayor Taylor thanked the Board for the wonderful work they are doing, and he is very
proud of the CRA. He wanted to address the Board on two items. The first one was
"perception" and in that regard he gave a stow on how important perception can be in
getting things done. He felt it was important for the CRA to obtain new quarters,
· because the current offices are too small and cramped. It was important that the CRA
make a good first impression when developers or other businesspeople visit with them
for the first time. Mayor Taylor would like the Board to give serious consideration to
finding the necessary funds to build an off~ce that the City could be proud of.
Mayor Taylor next expressed his support for the Police Officers that the CRA is hiring.
He felt it was important that a safe environment be created before developers come in.
He also is encouraging the City to hire more Officers and they will be hiring six regular
and two Auxiliary Police Officers. The four Officers hired by the CRA would
complement the City's Police Force. Mayor Taylor felt that it was the City's duty to
police the City and he anticipates that at some point in the future, the City would take
over the CRA's responsibilities. Mayor Taylor was in favor of bringing the four Officers
on board as soon as possible.
Mr. DeMarco informed Mayor Taylor that the CRA has located new offices and would be
moving shortly.
Mr. Hutchinson thanked Mayor Taylor for his support.
Total Trolley Programs with Grants - $472,000
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that they anticipate bringing in additional revenues to reduce
the costs, but this would require him to go out and find these r6venues. He pointed out
that he cannot get the revenues if he does not have a trolley. At this time, the budget
includes the entire costs for the trolleys.
Vice Chair Tillman inquired if staff was actively seeking revenues at this time. Mr.
Hutchinson stated they cannot do this until they know if they received the grant from
MPO. If the CRA does not receive the grant, Mr. Hutchinson recommended that they
acquire one trolley for Ocean Avenue that would cost $150,000, which cost is included
in the budget.
Vice Chair Tillman had concerns that the cost for the trolley would detract from the
CRA's mission and was the trolley an actual priority? He did not want to see funds
diverted from other CRA priorities used for a trolley. Even if the grant funds were
received, he was in favor of starting with only one trolley as a pilot program.
Mr. Hutchinson explained that the Traffic Concurrency Exemption Area that the CRA
must follow mandates having the trolley, not internally, but one that would go to the Tri-
Rail Station and the Mall. He felt they could raise a great deal of money with
advertising. Also, they will be receiving funds from the developers because the TCA
requires developers to contribute to the program. If they do not receive the MPO grant
5618
Meeting Minutes ~-
Community Redevelopment Agency Budget Workshop
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 8, 2004
and they only begin with one small trolley downtown, the CRA would be required to do a
Study to see what the impact would be of not having the trolley in place. Mr. Hutchinson
also pointed out that in order to receive concurrency to build the promenades and the
big projects coming on line, they would not receive any building permits at the County
level.
Ms. Horenburger acknowledged Vice Tillman's concerns. She reported that she serves
on the Tri-Rail Board, which is now called the Regional Transportation Authority, and
they recently received a huge Federal grant a couple of years ago to double track the
Tri-Rail. If the CRA starts too small, she feels that the CRA would not be able to
generate the anticipated usage of the trolley. She noted that it is important that the
trolley operate all the time and this cannot be done with one trolley.
Mr. DeMarco inquired if the costs included insurance. Mr. Hutchinson stated that there
would be no insurance costs. The trolley system will piggyback the Town of Jupiter's
contract for their trolley system. This is a service-based contract and the CRA is not
buying the trolleys. Mr. Hutchinson felt that after the pilot years, the CRA should
consider approaching the City to discuss a partnership arrangement. Ms. Horenburger
was optimistic that the grant would be approved.
Vice Chair Tillman asked that the Board keep in mind that the CRA's primary mission
and duties were to fund development in the CRA area. He did not want to see anyt.hing
taken away from this. Vice Chair Tillman considers the Florida State Statutes as the
Agency that sets forth the primary mission for the CRA, which is redevelopment of
blighted areas, while increasing the tax base.
Ms. Horenburger felt that if the traffic performance issue is related to the CRA being
able to redevelop then that is a policy itself. Mr. Hutchinson explained that Vice Chair
Tillman and Ms. Horenburger were both correct. In Florida especially, the role .of the
CRA is emerging where affordable housing is linked to transportation. Mr. Hutchinson
explained that the TCA that the City received is among a few received in this area of
Florida. The TCA was approved with provisions, and if they were not followed, the CRA
would not receive concurrency for their projects. Mr. Hutchinson noted that the State
Statutes that originally created Community Redevelopment Agencies had a different
vision than the mandates of DCA.
Mr. Hutchinson feels that this CRA is more on top of the programs that support
development than many other CRAs, but they still should not lose track of their
beginnings.
> Festivals & Events - $42,100
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that Delray Beach spends approximately $1.4 million for
events. He is recommending that the CRA spend $42,100. The money will be used to
increase the quality of entertainment and build upon some of the successes that have
taken place. This is a modest increase over last year's budgeted amount.

Holiday & Events Street Decorations - $15,000
The budgeted amount will cover the costs for street banners and holiday decorations in
cooperation with the City.
Marketing and Promotions -$2,075
This is a new line item. When items are selected, they would be brought to the Board for
approval.
Facade Grants - $175,000
Economic Business Grants - $185,000
Mr. Hutchinson reported that the CRA has received tremendous response to the grant
programs. He will be bringing in a new program that will tie in with people who are
trying to assemble their neighborhoods, owner-to-owner. In order to do this, they need
to get all the properties appraised and have surveys done in order to entertain
developer bids. He would like the CRA to match these grants $1 for $1 up to $15,000. If
the neighborhood changes its mind, the CRA would require its pro rata share of the
grant back. Mr. Hutchinson felt that they already had the funds for this new program.
Vice Chair Tillman inquired if the $35,000 rollover was included in the $175,000. Mr.
Hutchinson stated that the $35,000 would be paid out prior to October 1st.
Vice Chair Tillman inquired where the money for the new grant program would come
from. Mr. Hutchinson stated that there are funds available in miscellaneous projects and
in the fa(;ade and community grants program. Vice Chair Tillman recommended that the
new grant program be a separate line item.
Projects
CRA Office - $300,000
This sum is a down payment for the CRA to acquire permanent office space. This item
is different from the item previously discussed where they are changing their current
o_ffice space, that is temporary quarters. Mr. Hutchinson felt it was important that the
CRA have its own space and presence. If it is determined to move forward and build,
he will bring this to the Board as a mortgage item to consider for traditional financing.
> Boynton Beach/RiVerwalkJPromenade Project - $19,688,438
The individual costs have been broken down in the budget and are spread out over
th tee years. 562.0
Total Heart of Boynton Commercial Land Acquisition - $3,850,000 plus
rollover of $350,000

Meeting Minutes _~
Community Redevelopment Agency Budget Workshop
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 8, 2004
Mr. Hutchinson will be bringing to the Board a concept called Community Land Trust
that will secure equity into a living land trust to insure affordable access for future
generations. Vice Chair Tillman inquired how a Community Land Trust differed from a
housing authority. Mr. Hutchinson explained how the Land Trust would work and that it
would own and manage property titles and could partner with the housing authority.
Setting up a Community Land Trust would involve setting aside a portion of the CRA
funds in a trust to be used for generations.
Marina Parking Garage - $750,000
This is the contract that the CRA has for the Marina area, which is a construction draw
down based upon performance.
Town Square Project Development - $50,000
A study is being done regarding the future redevelopment of Town Square and CRA
funds would be used in conjunction with City funds if it moves to the architectural design
phase.
Savage Creatures Museum -$175,000
An initial feasibility is being done and the report may recommend moving to the next
stage. This report will be furnished to the members prior to the budget being approved.
Mr. Hutchinson pointed out that none of these line items require bonds for funding. The
TIF growth is substantial, and he would like the Board to consider financing these
projects using the TIF. He did not think it would be feasible to pass a budget on "what
ifs." When decisions have to be made, he will bring them to the Board for consideration.
He noted that in two years they would have an additional $2 million in TIF revenue. This
amount of money would allow the CRA to seek $20 million in bonding capacity.
Vice Chair Tillman pointed out that there is a $4 million deficit in the budget. Mr.
Hutchinson confirmed that this was correct, but stated that these are raw numbers. The
budget is not based upon forecasting; this is something the financial planner would be
doing.
V~ce Chair Tillman did not want to start the new budget in the red. He would like to look
at the budget to see what could be cut to decrease the deficit. Mr. Hutchinson pointed
out that when the CRA goes out for bonding, they would be looking to obtain $17
million. If this were the case, Vice Chair Tillman would like to see a budget that would
include these additional funds. If these funds were not included, he would like to see $4
million taken out of the budget.
5621
Mr. Hutchinson did not feel that having a $17 million debt load would be unrealistic. He
pointed out that the Delray Beach CRA carries a larger debt in bonding and receives
less TIF funds. Mr. Hutchinson did not feel it would be realistic to cut out funds for any
projects because these projects would be bringing in millions of dollars to the CRA tax

base. It is important that these projects move forward and be done right and to do this
the Board has to consider to go out for bonds.
Mr. DeMarco felt it was important that the budget is positive in order to attract the right
kind of development and he would like to move forward with bonding.
TIF Projection
The County is projecting a 19.7% appreciation in value in TIF funds. Staff was
conservative and only projected a 15% appreciation. Also, Mr. Hutchinson pointed out
that the CRA has a reserve of 20% or $503,000 in the bank.
The debt being discussed is based on last year's revenue of $2.5 million to cover debt
service. This equates to not encumbering future dealings to pay their debts. The figures
include projects that are committed to coming on the tax roils next year and these
projects are not the multi-million dollar projects that will be coming on the tax rolls in
three or four years. Mr. Hutchinson was confident that the CRA could handle any future
projects that may arise and his figures are very conservative.
Ms. Horenburger inquired when the financial advisor would be coming to the Board to
discuss financing. Ms. Horenburger inquired if the CRA was receiving interest on the
money in the bank and was informed that it did earn interest. Mr. Hutchinson pointed
out that they earned $23,625 in interest. He noted that the financial advisor would be
present at the next workshOp to discuss funding. After that workshop, the budget could
be finalized at the September meeting.
Mr. Hutchinson recommended that the budget workshop scheduled for Thursday, July
22nd be cancelled. He requested that the budget workshop tentatively scheduled for
Thursday, July 29th remain on the calendar in the event the financial advisor would have
her recommendations by that date.

Incentive Award to the Arches project), Item F (Consideration of Development
Regions Grant Six Month Extension for Yellow Beard ~[nc. dba Boynton Seafood)
and Ttem G (Consideration of Fred and .]oe's Automotive).
Chair Heavilin stated that Mr. Myott would have to recuse himself from voting on
Item F, so perhaps he could abstain from voting on the entire Consent Agenda,
which is what Mr. Myott elected to do. Mr. Myott indicated that the conflict
arose through his employment with the architectural firm that was doing the
Yellow Beard, Inc. dba/Boynton Seafood project. Mr. Myott duly filled out Form

Chair Heavilin opened the floor for public comment.
Arthur Schilling, Chukker Road, Boynton Beach, asked if all eight conditions
required for annexation and rezoning had been considered and met. Mr. Hudson
responded that all conditions had been considered and met. Mr. Schilling asked Mr.
Hudson to read them, which he did. Mr. Schilling was interested in the traffic impact of
the Waterside project on the homes on Chukker Road. Mr. Hudson responded that a
traffic study had been done in 2003 and it had considered the new developments such
as Tuscany on the Intracoastal. Later in the meeting, the comment was made that
considering the previous commercial use on the property, there would probably be a
net decrease in traffic with the proposed development. Mr. Schilling inquired about the
landscaping on Waterside and was told that this would be covered during the Site Plan
review following this item.
Since no one else came forward to speak, the floor was closed to public comment.
Motion
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve LUAR 4-002, request to amend the Comprehensive

Motion
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the Waterside request to 'reZone from General

homes and related site improvements. Mr. DeMarco seconded the motion that passed
7-0.
The Board proceeded to consideration of the Waterside Site Plan.
Eric .Johnson, Planner, presented the highlights of the Site Plan, giving a positive
recommendation from staff for approval, contingent on satisfaction of all 68 conditions
of approval. :[t was his understanding, and Ms. Miskel confirmed it~ that the applicant
accepted' all 68 conditions of approval. In addition, the height of the project's clubhouse
would exceed the 45 feet allowable in an :[PUD zoning district, and approval of the Site
Plan would be contingent upon approval of the height exception. There were timing
issues and the height exception would not be presented until the Board's August
meeting. The reason for the height exception was to provide a clear view from U.S. [ to
the :[ntracoastal Waterway.

Mr. Fenton inquired about the turning radius for emergency vehicles and the applicant
responded that there was a 55-foot outside radius.
Chair Heavilin opened the floor for public comment on this item.
Ma.rlene Sodoaro, Chukker Road, Boynton Beach, expressed concern for the
traffic that Waterside would generate on Chukker Road, a road with only about a half
dozen residents.
Ms. Miskel stated that if the Board desired, the applicant would be wiling to limit use of
Chukker Road to emergency access only. If the Board made that recommendation, the
applicant would-comply. She stated that Palmer Road was not up to the standards for
safe and adequate access and that the project would have to be served by one
entrance on Federal Highway.
Arthur Schilling returned to the podium and expressed concern about the higher
elevation of Waterside contributing to an existing drainage problem on Chukker Road.
Mr. Johnson stated that staff had reviewed the applicant's preliminary drainage plan
and found its solutions to be adequate. The applicant commented that they planned to
handle this issue through a retention area, a berm surrounding their property, and ex-
filtration trenches. The applicant did not believe that there would be any runoff onto
Chukker Road, but if it should occur, they also had pipes that Would discharge directly
into the Intracoastal. They were required by South Florida Water Management District
to have a drainage plan that would contain every storm event that had occurred in the
last twenty-five years and their plan met those standards. Ms. Laurinda Logan, Sr.
Engineer, stated that City Code required that excess water be retained and contained
for drainage purposes on a site. Beyond that, no design could cover every possible rain
event that might ever occur. The applicant maintained that there would be no increase
in runoff beyond what had happened in the past.
Chair Heavilin closed the floor to public comment.
IVlr. Barretta questioned Condition of Approval No. 27: "Every exterior wall within 15
feet of a property line shall be equipped with approved opening protectives per 2001
FBC, Section 705.:[.:[.2." A discussion ensued about protectives, a fire safety term and
issue, and what was determined to be a percentage of the wall area that had to be
open at fifteen feet from the property line. That was the actual intent of this condition.
Mr. Greene pointed this out, stating that it was a typographical error. If it had been
protectives, Hr. Barretta's point would have been to determine what style was going to
be used and how many of them there would be. Some methods of providing
protectives were quite unattractive. Ms. Horenburger suggested that the Board
5628

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency

recommend that the City adopt a standard pertaining to protectives at some time in the
future.
Ms. Miskel commented that this condition only affected a small section at the rear of
the building that was within :[5 feet of the property line and that the actual percentages
of the wall area in the affected section were shown on Page A-:[0 of their plans. Mr.
Barretta asked if their elevations were in compliance with the listed conditions and the
answer was affirmative. He asked whether the applicant would bring elevation changes
back to the Board for approval. Ms. Miskel commented that they would, if requested to
do so, but that this would normally be handled as a minor adjustment through staff. Mr.
Johnson confirmed this and said that it would be a minor modification with
complimentary review of the Board, if that were acceptable.
Motion
Vice Chair Tillman moved to approve the request for new site plan approval for :[ :[3 fee-
simple town homes and related site improvements on a 7.29-acre parcel in a proposed
IPUD zoning district, subject to all 68 conditions of approval. Ms. Horenburger seconded
the motion. Mr. Tillman added the words, "contingent upon the approval of the height
exception" and Ms. Horenburger agreed to the addition.
Mr. Fenton asked for a restatement of the motion as it pertained to the height
exception. ._.
Mr. Johnson did not want to hold up the project because of the height exception so that
the applicant could go through the process and submit for building permits, even
though the Board could not vote on the height exception until the following month. This
was acceptable to the Board.
The motion passed 7-0.

Dick Hudson, Senior Planner, presented the highlights of the staff report. The intent
was to insure compatibility of infill redevelopment with adjacent existing single-family
developments, clarify setback requirements, provide standards for building design
elements, and set additional standards for usable open space and compatibility. The
draft amendments also included additions to the "Intent and Expectations" section and
clarification of the requirement for unified control or common ownership.
The Board reviewed some suggestions regarding this issue that arose from a meeting
with concerned citizens, The Inlet Cove Association (INCA). Staff recommended
approval with the inclusion of the INCA suggestions.
The term "sanctity" was removed by general consent in reference to item (d.), which
stated that in order to be approved, an ]:PUD project "..must be compatible with and
preserve the character and sanctity of adjacent residential neighborhoods.." Everyone
understood the intent of the wording, but believed that it should be deleted.
On page 3, Ttem 4 (2) it should read: "Such screening must shield neighboring
properties .... "Ms. Horenburger added that it should say also, "shielded from any
adverse effects from the proposed development."
Buck Buchanan, 807 Ocean l:nlet Drive, President of INCA, expressed general
satisfaction with the mutually crafted document. The citizens appreciated being able to
give input and also appreciated the outstanding efforts of staff.

Maxime Ducoste-Amedee, Planner, presented the staff report. Staff's recommendation
granting the request to abandon this walkway was based on its findings that the walk
served no public purpose, could potentially create hazardous situations and be
detrimental to the public welfare. The property owner to the south of the walk had
requested the abandonment so that he could then vacate it and consolidate it with the
property to the south in order to construct a single-family home. If the walk remained,
the City would be obligated to maintain it.
There was also a walkway to the south of the subject walk that the staff report
described as being overgrown.with vegetation and encroaching fences and that the City
would have to look into that eventually as well.

Mr. Barretta asked if the property owners had been notified. Mr. Ducoste-Amedee
stated that the Planning & Zoning Division had notified the property owners abutting
the subject walk easement, as required. They also advertised this action in the
newspapers. However, since they believed this would affect other property owners in
the area, they posted the walkway with a sign on the day before the meeting.
Chair Heavilin opened the floor to public comment.
An extremely lengthy discussion ensued about this matter. In summary, residents in
the neighborhood surrounding the site of the proposed abandonment were opposed to
the abandonment. They believed that it would take away their supposed rights to
access to the [ntracoastal. They believed that their right to access had been initiated in
1922 through a dedication by the original owners, which dedication was bound and
notarized to the plat. This was in effect at the time they purchased their homes and
they strongly wished to continue being able to stroll down 'the walkway to view the
Intracoastal. Having this access was a big selling point when they bought their homes.
The spokesman for the majority of the Lakeside Gardens neighborhood, Hike Mrotek,
indicated that he mowed the walkway twice a month. If the walkway was messier than
usuai~ it was attributable to recent construction in the area. Various property owners
stated that this access was a part of their deeds. This waterway access had direct
impact on the value of their homes. They believed that to grant the abandonment
would be to unjustly enrich the applicant at the expense of those living in the
neighborhood who relied on this walkway for access to the water. A petition signed by
22 of the surrounding property owners was submitted for the record and is available in
the City Clerk's office.
Speaking for Lakeside Gardens were Mike Mrotek, 2624 Lake Drive, John
Pinkerton, Potter Road in Lakeside Gardens, and Sherry Easterling, 628
Dimick Road,
Preston Fields, attorney representing the applicant, stated that there was no
reference on the plat to walkways other than the drawings. He conceded that some
a-mbiguity existed. Hr. Fields stated that if this were to be abandoned, he was not sure
that it would go to his client, the applicant. If there were a public gift of land through
platting and it was subsequently abandoned, it would technically go back to the original
grantors and their beneficiaries. He asked the Board to approve the abandonment
because, if the City did not own the walkway, then it could not legally abandon it or if
they did, it would not have any effect.
Chair Heavilin closed the floor to public comment.

Mr. Myott stated he had made an offer on lots in Lakeside Gardens at one time, and the
realtor contended that the walkways and access to the water had been platted with the
subdivision many years ago. The City's right to abandon the property and the issue of
reversion rights were discussed and there was some ambiguity surrounding this issue.
Mr. Barretta stated that he was inclined to allow the residents to continue to enjoy use
of the walkway, regardless of any ambiguities that might exist.
Motion
Mr. Myott moved to deny the request for abandonment of the north 4.2-foot wide walk
easement in the Lakeside Gardens subdivision. Mr. Fenton seconded the motion.
Ms. Horenburger asked the Board Attorney whether the City actually owned the
walkway in question and could, therefore, legally abandon it. Attorney Payne stated
that she could not ascertain this from the documents provided. Further, she doubted
whether this access was actually in anyone's deed. If it were in their deeds, then it
would become a different issue rather than an abandonment of a plat. If they had
rights through their deeds, that was not being addressed at this time. The City was
only addressing the plat.
Mr. DeMarco believed that it would be prudent to postpone a decision on this item,
pending a determination of whether the City actually owned the walkway.
The motion to deny the abandonment was approved 7-0.

development consisting of retail, office and restaurant

Dick Hudson, Sr. Planner, explained that there were three issues related to The
Promenade: 1) rezoning, 2) new site plan, and 3) Height Exception. All three would be
reviewed concurrently, but he asked that separate votes be taken on each individual
item.
Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request because the requested zoning
category was 1) consistent with the adopted land use and with the directions for the
City's downtown area; 2) would enable the redevelopment of the property consistent
with adopted redevelopment plans for the Federal Highway Corridor; and 3) would
serve to provide an economic contribution to both the neighborhood and the City.
I~lichael Weiner, Weiner & Aronson, P.A., speaking on behalf of the applicant,
introduced his team of associates. He stated that the agenda item regarding urban
parking requirements was also his responsibility and that if the Board wished, he could
include information that would relate to both items at the same time. The Board
concurred.
M.r. Weiner indicated that the applicant was in agreement with all 72 conditions of
approval. ..
The project is located on the northeast corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Federal
Highway, between Federal Highway and a lake. A slide presentation was given showing
the site plan with townhouses facing towards the lake, a covered walkway arch across
parking and retail on the street. This project met all eight criteria for rezoning as
delineated in the staff report. The eight criteria for the height exception were also met.
The City's current parking code requirements would require them to have 784 parking
spaces. They were going to build 750 spaces and in the future, were looking at a code
revision that would call for 675 spaces. Even at 675, Boynton Beach's requirements
would be well above what was required in other jurisdictions.

Eric ]ohnson, Planner, stated that there were 72 conditions of approval and staff
recommended approval, based on satisfaction of those conditions. The applicant had
previously stated agreement with all 72 conditions of approval.
Mr. Hutchinson commented that this project avoided the pit~all of over massing and
overbuilding on Federal Highway and would create "Mizner-type" courtyards and public
areas in the front area between the hotel, intersections, and major areas. An elevated
concrete platform where jazz or other entertainments could be enjoyed was proposed
for the rear of the project facing the lake. The project was "pretty" from every
elevation. They were not doing fiat mansard roofs, but had buildings with some peaks
on them, an architectural feature that greatly added to the skyline. This would be the
City's biggest area of mixed use. The parking deck had .an amenity package that was
quite striking. The two areas that rose up were L-shaped, and this was an important
feature for massing. He appreciated what the applicant had done with this project and
thought that The Promenade was going to be a unique,'landmark project.
Board Attorney Payne asked Mr. Johnson to inform the Board the existing land use, the
proposed use, and the acreage. Mr. Johnson replied that the existing land use was
Mixed Use, the existing zoning was CBD, and the proposed land use was Mixed-Use
Core and' the proposed zoning was MU-H. The acreage was 3.975, including a small
portion located at the northeast corner of the property. The proposed uses were 3,000
sq. ft. of restaurant, :~9,200 sq. ft. of retail, 68 hotel units, and 3:[8 condominium units.
Nr. Fenton expressed concern about the pending lawsuit against the City for exceeding

Weiner responded that there would be 100 for public use. All other open space was
public.
Chair Heavilin opened the floor for public comment.
Brian Edwards, 629 N.E. 9th Avenuef Boynton Beach, expressed concern about
the traffic in the area around the proposed project. He thought that an over or under
pass might be in order.
Mr. Hutchinson stated that Boynton Beach Boulevard had been designed with five lanes.
The CRA put $20M into that area with extensions and traffic and the traffic loading in
this project was superior to what it was at the present time. The concerns of the
citizens about traffic had led to the developer spending millions, of dollars in redesign to
reduce any negative impact.
Laurinda Logan, Sr. Engineer, explained that staff had been working with the applicant
on traffic issues. They had' received concurrency from the County Traffic Engineer, so
this was an achievement. The applicant 'was asked to redesign the project to eliminate
a second driveway out onto Boynton Beach Boulevard due to the possibility for
accidents. They restricted the movement to one driveway on Boynton Beach Boulevard
that included some concurrent revisions being made to the Boynton Beach Boulevard
Extension project that was already under construction. The applicant would be
widening N.E. 4th Avenue for the use of the residents to bring it up to a full two-lane
roadway. At the moment, it was just barely a trail. They were not making any
improvements except some possible signalization o.n the intersection of 4~ Avenue and
Federal Highway to handle the church traffic. Federal Highway itself was a State road.
These issues would be considered at the time of permitting.
Ms. Horenburger asked Hr. Weiner if he had spoken to FDOT about Federal Highway in
relation to Mr. Edwards' concerns. Mr. Weiner responded that they had focused all
their efforts on the site plan but if upgrades to the project became necessary, they
would look at some off site solutions. Ns. Horenburger stated that Mr. Edwards'
concern was turning northbound onto Federal' Highway from Boynton Beach Boulevard.

Mr. Weiner understood there was a pre-application meeting with FDOT on the day
following the meeting.
Mr. Hutchinson stated that they had just passed a Traffic Concurrency Exemption Area
and that trolleys could be brought into the area rather than single-occupant vehicles.
Mr. Barretta inquired about the four loading bays and adjacent parking that appeared to
have parking spaces stacked behind each other with no access.
Sandy Peaceman, representing the architects, stated that the spots to which Mr.
Barretta referred were, in fact, valet spots and the hotel would be valet parked.
Chair Heavilin closed the public audience when no one else came forward to speak.

Motion
Vice Chair Tillman moved to approve the request for new site plan approval to construct
a mixed-use project consisting of :16,200 square feet of retail space, 3,000 square feet
of restaurant space, 68 hotel rooms, and 3:18 condominium units on a 3.975 acre-parcel
in the Nixed Use High Intensity (MU-H) zoning district, subject to all 72 conditions of
approval.
Chair Heavilin commented that the agenda was incorrect and'that there was actually
19~200 square feet of retail space. Vice Chair Tillman agreed to amend the motion to
reflect this. Mr. Fenton seconded the motion that passed 6-0 ('Pis. Horenburger was not
on the dais.)
The Urban Group Excused
Mr. Hutchinson suggested that consideration of New Business IX.J, Property Acquisition
Contract in HOB Phase i Project Area be delayed until the Board's continuation meeting
on Thursday, July 15, at 6:30 p.m. due to the lateness of the hour. He suggested that
anyone else waiting for any New Business items should also plan to come back to the
meeting on July 15. The Urban Group was excused with apologies and thanks.

Description:
Request for a height exception of 17 feet to allow the
peak of a decorative tower to extend above the 150-
foot maximum height provision in the Mixed Use High
[ntensity (MU-H) Zoning District.
Eric JOhnson, Planner, presented the staff report on the height exception. The project
met the height requirements at 142 feet, but the height exception was requested to
provide for certain places on the roofline where walls would rise up 17 feet above the
currently allowed 150 feet, primarily due to the need to screen mechanical equipment.
Ms. Horenburger inquired whether elevators went up to the mechanical equipment and
the architect responded that they did not. She related a stow that took place with the
Marriott on Atlantic Avenue when she was a City Commissioner for Delray Beach. They
had equipment in an elevator and then ten years later, claimed that they had an
additional floor they could enclose. The architect said that the elevators did not service
the machine rooms.
Hr. Fenton expressed the opinion that they could have designed it so that there was no
height exception, even with the mechanical screening. M.r. DeMarco was in favor of that
as well.
Chair Heavilin opened the floor to public comment.
Brian Edwards was concerned about a request for a height exception at a time when
the City was being sued for a height issue. Tt would also set a precedent for other
developers to do the same thing. He hoped there could be a compromise.
Chair Heavilin closed the floor to public comment when no one else wished to speak.
Various Board members expressed a lingering concern about approving a height
exception at a time when the City was being sued for going over the 45-foot limit.
It Was thought that having mechanical screening was definitely preferable to not having
any screening. Another comment was that the Board had approved other projects that
had exceeded the height limitations for the same reason. One Board member suggested
that the applicant consider having just 14 stories if it became a legal liability. If the City
prevailed in the suit, they could proceed with the present plan. On the other hand, the
quality of the design and the attractive appearance of the roofline made the height
exception a good tradeoff to some Board members.

Hr. Weiner remarked that if the Board approved the height exception, the City would
not be in any additional jeopardy. Also, to take a whole floor off the building would
cause the loss of a substantial amount of what the City was trying to achieve.
Attorney Payne stated that she agreed with Mr. Weiner and that the decision the Board
made did not impact the lawsuit. The issue was anything over 45 ft., not over 150
Any approval from this Board would not make it any worse.

Ms. Horenburger moved approval of the request for height exception of 17 feet to allow
the peak of a decorative tower to extend above the :LS0-foot maximum height provision

that carried 7-0.
It was past the Board's 9:30 p.m. time-certain adjournment. By mutual agreement, the
Board opted to continue the public hearing items and then recess until Thursday, July

Auto Repair in Commercial Master Plans (CDRV

Michael S. Weiner, Weiner & Aronson, P.A.
Description:
Request to amend the Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 6.C to allow
minor auto repair as conditional uses in stand-alone
buildings within commercial master plans in the C-3
Zoning District
Eric Johnson, Planner, presented the staff report for this item. This item was proposed
the previous month and approved by the Planning & Development Board. Staff was
concerned about the level of impact on the citywide distribution of automotive repair
uses and the public welfare within the commercial and industrial zoning districts. Staff
could only recommend approval with a language amendment detailed in the staff
report. That amended language would allow minor automotive repair uses as
conditional uses in subordinate buildings of shopping plazas zoned C-3. There was only
one commercial Master Plan in the City and this was Grove Plaza on Lawrence and
5641

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida

Hypoluxo Roads. However, there was nothing to prevent a property owner from taking
an existing shopping center with out parcels and converting it to a master plan. Staff
felt that the amended language protected the integrity of the C-3 zoning districts while
allowing the applicant to develop what they want to develop in Grove Plaza. This would
apply citywide. Even if approved, this would be a conditional use and require a hearing
before the Board for approval.
The City did not want to see a shopping center with a former bank turned into a .1iffy
Lube, for example.
Chair Heavilin said that they also did not want to see 16 auto repair places on Federal
Highway within a half a mile of each other. IVls. Horenburger thought that the City
could restrict the ability to have more than one kind of a business within a certain
distance. Nr..Johnson stated they could have a separation distance between them.
Chair Heavilin opened the floor for public comment, and closed it when no one came
forward to speak.
Bill Hegstrom, owner of an auto repair shop, asked for clarification and
restatement of this item. IVlr. Johnson provided that, reiterating that the intent of this
application was to put an automotive repair facility in Grove Plaza, the only commercial
master plan in the City. However, any C-3 shopping center could be converted to a
commercial master plan.
Motion
Vice Chair Tillman moved to approve the request to amend the Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 6.C to allow minor auto repair as conditional
uses in stand-alone buildings within commercial master plans in the C-3 zoning district.

Urban Parking Requirements- Hixed Use
(CDRV 04-007) ('heard out of order)
Michael S. Weiner, Weiner & Aronson
Request to amend Chapter 2, Zoning, Section ll.H
reducing parking ratios for multi-family, hotel and
marina uses in mixed-use projects within the CBD
Zoning District
Ed Breese, Principal Planner, stated that the applicant had submitted suggested
amendments to the City's existing parking regulations and a comparative analysis of
parking rates being utilized in downtowns and city centers in Palm Beach, Broward, and
Dade Counties. The proposed amendments were detailed in the staff report and its
attachments. The highlights were to reduce parking requirements as follows:
5642
2o
Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 13, 2004
For studio or one-bedroom units, reduce from :[.5 spaces to :[.33 per unit
For 2+ bedroom units, reduce from 2 parking spaces to :[.66 per unit
For hotels, reduce from :[.25 parking spaces to :[.0 per bedroom and,
Allow for up to 25% of the required number of parking spaces to be provided in
tandem configuration. This was seen in The Promenade site plan presentation.
;in addition to this request, staff was recommending companion modifications to an
Urban Parking Code, separate and apart from those proposed by the applicant. Mixed
Use projects should have the same consideration as Shopping Centers, which could
have a mix of retail, office and restaurant uses. The Shopping Center parking allowed :~
parking space for each 200 square feet of gross leasable floor area. The same
consideration should be given to Mixed-Use projects that are predominantly residential
in nature, instead of breaking them down as 1-300 for office, 1-100 for restaurants, and
:[-200 for retail. Lastly, staff recommended for the CBD, especially for the existing, older
buildings, that an allowance be made for up to 100% expansion of the footprint up or
out from the existing building and also change of use without triggering additional
parking requirements. The City had been looking at the adaptive re-use of a lot of the
older buildings in the center of the CBD and approval of this item would allow that item
to move forward.
Staff recommended approval of the request made by the applicant and the additions by
staff and the conditions placed on it by staff in the report.
Ms. Horenburger asked if the one parking space per room assumed that the hotel would
never be full? What about staff?. Mr. Breese said that it would seldom be full and was
not a stand-alone hotel, but was part of a mixed-use project where other components
of the project would not use their parking on a full-time basis.
Chair Heavilin asked about the location of the adaptive re-use and its location. She
heard that this would be applied to Ocean Avenue west from Seacrest Boulevard, and
this was not part of the CBD proper. Mr. Breese said they had mirrored the language
from the Fee ;In Lieu of language and that this would bring it beyond the railroad tracks
and toward City Hall, which would be desirable.
Chair Heavilin commented that she was very much in favor of adaptive re-use because
they had seen so many businesses that could not expand due to the former parking
restrictions. Mr. Breese agreed that the former parking restrictions could lead to
vacancies that one would not want to have in a healthy downtown.
Ns. Horenburger expressed concern that under these recommendations, an individual
with a new property with adequate parking could have a neighbor with insufficient
parking who then improved their property, and this would impact the one with the
5643

adequate parking, She directed this question to Mr, Hutchinson as well and wondered
what specific properties were under consideration for this. Mr. Hutchinson replied that
there were corridors rather than properties, rvlr. Breese said it was that portion of
Federal Highway that was in the CBD and also Ocean Avenue.
Ms. Horenburger asked what would happen if an individual improved his property more
than 100%, Mr. Breese stated that all parking regulations would be applied above
100%.
Chair Heavilin opened the floor for public comment, and closed it when no one wished
to speak.

Ms. Horenburger moved approval of the request to amend Chapter 2, Zoning, Section

Request to amend Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 11 with
the addition of supplemental regulations to establish
location, minimum lot area and frontage, landscaping
and conditional use requirements for non-residential
uses proposed within Single-family Zoning Districts
Michael Rumpf, Planning & Zoning Director, presented the staff report. Staff
recommended that the request be approved. It further recommended the extension of
the Notice of Intent for one month to allow time to adopt the corresponding ordinances
prior to its expiration.
Staff recommended that churches, schools, and day care uses shOuld be restricted to 1
acre or greater parcels located on state and county arterials and county collectors, meet
a minimum frontage standard of 150 feet, and include a minimum 10-foot buffer width
and "barrier" landscaping along parking areas to adequately screen them from adjacent
residential properties. Staff also recommended that such uses be made conditional
uses.
Ns, Horenburger raised the question of house churches and how this would affect
them. A lot of homes were used on a fairly regular basis for bible studies and there had

allowing them to exist as legal non-conforming uses and suggested that the Board
consider this also.

Mr. Hutchinson, CRA Director, offered to answer questions about the Director's Report.
Mr. Hutchinson commented that the CRA staff was working on the agenda packet
quality and had initiated some methods that would assist the reader. He solicited
comments from the Board.
Ms. Vielhauer and Mr. Hutchinson were at the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(MPO) meeting on the day of this meeting in West Palm Beach along with the County.
He was happy to say that the CRA had been awarded a $360K grant for the trolley
system. They also received notice that issues of strategic planning should be addressed
at- the CRA level. Boynton Beach was in good shape on things it had done that would
be mandated in the future.
The double-tracking project of Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) was evolving as the
number one priority at the MPO because of the downtown transportation linkage. The
MPO also wanted to consider land use and densities along with mass transit.

The South Florida Water Management District.had announced that the CRA's permitting
application was complete. This was a major milestone since building permits normally
Followed permit application approval. This meant that the CRA projects and the Marina
could be getting building permits in the next four weeks. Mr. Hutchinson praised
Kimley-Horn for their work on this and also the City for its assistance with the
mangrove issue at Jaycee Park. This accomplishment had involved a comprehensive
effort by the community, product developers, engineers, the City, and the CRA.
Chair Heavilin inquired whether the MPO award was for three years and whether it was
matching. Mr. Hutchinson responded that it was for $120K for three years. The CRA
had to provide the bus services, and this was how much the MPO put towards it. The
CRA was planning to generate money from advertising and there was about $170K in
the budget.
Mr. Hutchinson related that the MPO had been pleased to hear from Boynton Beach,
Delray Beach, and West Palm Beach and were trying to get other communities to step
up to planning issues also.
Mr. Hutchinson had high praise for Ms. Vielhauer who had achieved a grant on her first
attempt to obtain one.
The CRA's secretary, Ms. Garinay Ghazarian, was leaving to work in the Office Depot
executive offices. The CRA was advertising to fill that slot and hoped to find someone
o¢ the same caliber to maintain the standard she had set. Mr. Hutchinson observed that
Ns. Ghazarian had done a great job for the CRA and they hoped to find someone who
would maintain the caliber of work that she set.
Ms. Horenburger asked who owned the parking in connection with the Tri-Rail station.
Mr. Hutchinson responded that FEC had properly on which to put a station and across
the street from that, the City owned a lot and a project was being designed that would
be over parked for additional public parking to serve that area.
NS.: Horenburger stated she had served on the Tri-Rail Board, which was now the
Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), for ten years. In order to make the Tri-Rail
project work, the FEC, along with the State and Federal governments, would be looking
for more local matches of property and/or money, and the Board should be prepared
For this. Formerly, the Federal and State governments put in the preponderance of the
dollars on the matches. The local matches were like 20% and they were now 40 to
50%. No one seemed to know where the dollars were going to come from to purchase
the right to use the corridor initially, and then the operational dollars would be on top of
that. While it was a number one priority, local governments had to get ready to be
asked to provide land for stations, parking, or money.

Mr. Hutchinson said that in that area they would have two major parking structures of
over 700-car capacity that would give a surplus of up to 400 cars. Also, the trolley
system would reach the station and have an impact. This was one of the few
communities that was somewhat prepared if FEC decided to move ahead with this
project.
Mr. Hutchinson said that the traditional CRA role of acquiring land, tearing down
buildings and doing a streetscape was evolving into a much broader role. The County
was going to be putting more and more pressure on the T.I.F. dollars to participate in
inter-linking/mass transit issues. The loading in population could not be supported
unless the CRA started to understand its role in this.
Ms. Horenburger stated that she had been involved in discussions, though not official,
about having an overlapping T.I.F. district for the length of the corridor to help pay for
that corridor and the CRA needed to keep that in mind as well.
Ms. Horenburger stated as a matter of information that the Treasure Coast Regional
Planning Council came to the last Tri-Rail (RTA) Board meeting and proposed that they
work closely with them for a fee of between $300-700K over the next few years. There
was some push to get dual seats .on both boards but that had not happened. Their
region for transportation did not fit the region for planning and this was being worked
out at present.
Chair Heavilin asked about the LDR rewrite and the status of the mixed-use districts.
Mr. Hutchinson stated that part of this had been resolved by the recent action to
change the highway designation on several roads. The rest of the resolution of this
issue should be forthcoming in the next 30 days so this could get back on schedule for
the Fall.
Chair Heavilin noted that in the grants update, it was Colonial Club Condominium, not
just Colonial.

Mr. Fenton moved to accept the reordering of the agenda. Vice Chair Tillman seconded
· the motion that passed 6-0.
A. Consideration of Contract for the Police Pilot Program in the CRA Boundaries.
Mr. Hutchinson stated that this had been a lengthy project between the Legal teams,
the CRA, and the Police Department. He believed that this would be a great thing for
the community and that the Police had exercised great care to provide officers of the
highest caliber for the CRA area.
Marshall Gage~ Chief of Police, thanked the Board for inviting the Police to this
meeting. He introduced each of the officers: Officer Chris 'Doc' Davis, Officer Rick
Lauture, Officer Eric Reynolds, and Officer Frank Danysh. Between them they had 28-
30 years of experience. The first two officers were going into the Heart of Boynton and
the second two were going into the downtown district. The CRA and the Police
Department had jointly agreed to some minor changes in the uniforms that would
clearly identify the officers as being assigned to the CRA area.
Chief Gage expressed appreciation for the serious hard work on the part of the CRA
legal staff to help bring this project to fruition. His staff, Ass~tant Chief John Smith,
also put a lot of work into this. He thought that the officei's were going to make
everyone look good. He appreciated the joint partnership between the CRA and the
Police Department and he fully expected it to be successful.
Mr. Hutchinson commented that a lot of the expenditures in the contract were for
equipment that would last for many years. The CRA would own the Police cars and
bicycles and they would be leased to the Police Department. The budget before the
Board included more details. The officers would be full-time in those two areas. They
~Nere chosen in part because of their sense of humor and their understanding of the
community service aspect of this job. They all had a great deal of compassion about
how to approach situations. They also understood the community liaison part of this job
and would be the CRA's eyes and ears on the ground.
Mr. Myott asked what hours they would be patrolling. Chief Gage said there was some
flexibility in the hours and this had not been definitely decided yet. They were going to
identify the best hours for each of the areas. They would get one officer per day for
each of the areas and they would float them depending on the area and according to
the needs of the businesses and residents in each of the areas. Mr. Myott asked if it
would mainly be daytime hours. Chief Gage responded that it would span daytime and
evening hours in both of the areas, probably beginning at noon.

Chair Heavilin stated that Exhibit C called for 11.5 hours per day. Chief Gage said their
contract allowed 11.5-hour shifts. One officer would be in each district 11.5 hours a
day, seven days a week.
A car would also be assigned to each area. These officers would be fully equipped with
the same type of equipment as provided to officers in other parts of the city.
Chief Gage extended an invitation to the Press to ride along on the bikes with the
officers on their tours of duty.
Chair Heavilin said there were two cars, one for the Heart of Boynton and one for the
Marina area and four bicycles, but only one officer per shift. She questioned that. Chief
Gage said that the bikes would last longer and give better service if they did not have
to be individually adjusted for each officer during shift change.
Chair Heavilin asked if the CRA officers would be supplementing other officers in these
areas. Chief Gage stated that each of the areas was part of an existing zone and they
were overlapping. Each area had a minimum of one officer assigned to the zone. The
Heart of Boynton was part of an existing zone. The Heart of Boynton has two officers
assigned to that district and those officers would stay there. The existing staffing levels
would remain the same. ._
I~otion
Ms. Horenburger moved approval of the Police Pilot Program in the CRA Boundaries. Mr.
Barretta seconded the motion that passed 6-0.
Chief Gage stated that Leadership Boynton had visited the Police Department on the
day of this meeting. Part of his presentation was that in this Police Department,
responsibility and accountability was required and a sense of humor. He was glad that
the Director had mentioned that having a sense of humor was important. Each of the
officers chosen for this task had a sense of humor, and they planned to maintain that.
_~ Consideration of Property Acquisition Contracts in HOB Phase ! Project Area
Mr. Hutchinson introduced Ms. Barbara Matlack of the Urban Group.
Barbara Matlack, The Urban Group, reported that there was a contract with .~ohn
Dimke, 123 NE. 9th Avenue, Boynton Beach, for $95,700 as a counter offer to an initial
offer of $87,000. The Urban Group believed that this was a valid, reasonable offer. The
appraisal came out a bit Iow, but there had been a lot of market activity in the area
recently. Also, this type of negotiation was not an arms-length transaction where there
was a meeting of the minds and where the owner wanted to sell. She believed that the
5651
Meeting Minutes :-
Community Redevelopment Agency Continuation
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 15, 2004
increase in the initial offer was valid in this case. It was a nominal increase of under
10% and represented a good deal.
Hr. Hutchinson stated that The Urban Group had presented all the other monies to
which the seller was entitled under the HUD guidelines. The Board had asked for the
maximum impact for this purchase and the maximum was $116,425 for this property.
Some of the funds did not go to the property owner. He agreed about the brisk activity
in sales at the moment in the Heart of Boynton area on and off MLK Blvd. Also, this
was an improved property and not a vacant lot.
Mr. Fenton asked why they were not going with the appraised value. When considering
the Kelly property at an earlier meeting, the Board wanted to go with the appraised
value since it did not want to set a precedent to go above that. The next property
before the Board was this one and the Board was being asked to approve a purchase
price above the appraised value of the property.
Hs. Matlack said that The Urban Group had ended up correcting the transaction to
which Mr. Fenton referred. She commented that it had been a particularly difficult deal
where the Board was trying to assist the displacee.
When asked again by Mr. Fenton why they were not going with the appraised value,
Ms. rvlatlack responded, "Because we would not have a contract signed. It was
unacceptable to the owner and for good reason." He had: purchased it with the
prospect of maintaining that property for the purpose of investment for ten years, had
no idea about the project coming on line, and would never have purchased that
property if he had known. Mr. Fenton stated that this was his fault and that had
nothing to do with the CRA buying it.
Mr. Myott asked how much the property owner had paid for the property. Ms. Matlack
stated he had paid $85K in December of 2003. He also asked how this property fit into
the overall plans of the CRA. Mr. Hutchinson stated that this was just above the Baptist
Church and that was critical to getting the full depth of the block in order to have
redevelopment. Tt was east of Seacrest Boulevard, above the Baptist Church, and south
of_ Hartin Luther King _]r. Boulevard.
Mr. Myott asked how the other property acquisitions were proceeding. Mr. Hutchinson
stated that they had already bought the Kelly property, and the rest were coming along
pretty well.
Vice Chair Tillman said it was important to understand as the Board moved forward with
acquiring these properties, that there had been a great deal of public knowledge about
the CRA's plans and this knowledge had begun to drive the market. The Board had to
understand this, consider it, and be professional about its activities.

Mr. Fenton said that if the CRA offered the property owner that price, he would be
making 12.5% on a mistake. Chair Heavilin said that in this market, that was not
unusual. Mr. Hutchinson said it was 1.7% a year right now in the CRA area. Chair
Heavilin pointed out that the difference was that the first contract was with a willing
seller and this was not.
Chair Heavilin asked if they were using the same appraiser for all their properties, and
Ms. Matlack confirmed that they were. The appraiser was D. Craig Keneipp, and the
review appraiser was Mendel R. Westberry of Ft. Lauderdale. Chair Heavilin asked if the
appraisers had to be HUD approved. Howard Steinholz of The Urban Group stated that
the appraisers had to be State certified. The review appraiser was a member of the
Appraisal Institute. It was the review appraiser that actually set the price and he agreed
with it in this case.
Chair Heavilin asked if the appraisers had sufficient local knowledge of what was
happening in the Boynton Beach market, since they were from Ft. Lauderdale. Also,
was there a possibility of getting someone more familiar with this local market? Mr.
Steinholz stated that Mr. Westberry was with Galleon and Wilson, who had offices in
Palm Beach. That firm was very knowledgeable about government properties and the
market itself.
Ms. Horenburger said it was difficult to get accurate appraisals With the dynamics of the
market in the CRA area. Comparables looked' at in the previous month could change
upwards 'by the following month. As the synergy built, that would continue. She
appreciated Mr. Fenton's comment about setting a precedent but they would be seeing
some of these, particularly with unwilling sellers. She thought it was a pretty good offer
considering it was not a willing seller. She appreciated the ability of The Urban Group to
convince him to sell it to the CRA at any price in light of that.
Chair Heavllin confirmed with Ms. Matlack that the relocation costs were not-to-exceed
maximums. The owner was entitled to a $10K re-establishment expense reimbursement
benefit. It was their job to advise him of how to spend it and to insure that the invoices
were correct. He was also entitled to SIK search costs for another rental property. The
tenant's replacement housing payment and move costs amounted to $9,400, $1K of
which was move costs calculated on a room count method per the Uniform Relocation
Act.
Mr. Barretta asked the Director's opinion. Mr. Hutchinson said that considering
everything, prices were being re-established almost weekly in that area, and not just on
NLK Boulevard. This is what they hoped would happen, that people would go in, buy
structures, invest in them and have some good rental properties in. the area. If
litigation were considered, this amount of money would be spent in the first round of
5653

preparing the paperwork. He concurred with TUG and thought the Board should buy
this property.
Chair Heavilin reiterated that the prices were moving weekly on everything east of 1-95.
Motion
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the acquisition of the subject property in the Phase
:L project area. Vice Chair Tillman seconded the motion.
Chair Heavilin asked if the relocation expenses needed to be included in the motion. Mr.
Hutchinson agreed, saying that it would be for the entire amount including any
relocation costs on parcel number 120 with a total projected cost for the acquisition and
relocation being $116,425. Ms. Horenburger amended the motion to that effect and
Vice Chair Tillman agreed.
The vote was 5-1, Mr. Fenton dissent/n_q,
C. Consideration of the Annual Report
Hr. Hutchinson said this was the previous year's report, 2002-2003. The annual audit
had been done. This was the CRA's first effort at doing an annual report, which gave
the financials but also told the stow of what was going on and..some of the things that
had happened. They planned to have a base number printed and available for reprints
in house. ];t was also on the Web Site, and should be posted in the next two weeks. He
wanted to have this approved by the Board. There were two items he would send to
the Board with a poll for approval: 1) draft mission statement and 2) a request to
former Chair Finkelstein to provide a picture and letter as soon as possible. He hoped to
get this finished and distributed soon.
Mr. Hutchinson had read a headline published on the date of this meeting saying, "The
CRA set the ceiling of building heights," which was absolutely incorrect, and he wanted
to have that on record. The building height ceilings were not changed by the CRA, but
there was a provision in the City Code that allowed height extensions above the base
for'equipment. The CRA did not raise ceilings above 150 feet.
Ns. Horenburger asked why they were publishing an old report at this time. Mr.
Hutchinson said that they expected this report to be out about six months earlier next
time.
Ns. Horenburger commented that some years ago, Tri-Rail (RTA) had stopped doing an
Annual Report and instead, did a monthly newsletter. Mr. Hutchinson said that a
quarterly newsletter would be on the Web Site. ]:f they had developers or investors
who asked what happened last year, this was something to give -them. This was a

marketing tool or "brochure" for the community. Ms. Horenburger commented that it
might be confusing for the persons receiving this report to have the name of the former
Mayor and Board Chair if they wanted to contact them, Mr. Hutchinson did not think
this would be a problem.
Motion
Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the Annual Report per staff comments and
recommendation for the year 2002-2003. Mr. Barretta seconded the motion that carried
6-0.
D. Consideration of Legal Services Task Force
Mr. Hutchinson sought Board comments about this item. He envisioned a task force of
himself and two other Board members to work on this. The Board's legal needs had
grown. When this item was discussed the previous year, there was some sense of
conflict about the City and the CRA being served by the same law firm. Although Ms.
Lindsey Payne was extremely competent, the workload was intensive.
Vice Chair Tillman asked if any particular task areas for this work had been identified.
Mr. Hutchinson thought that the additional services would .be needed across the board.
The lawsuit filed against the City for height affected the CRA and the same firm was
representing two positions. With the Hall property and inter-local agreements, he
wanted to have a Task Force study this to see how people felt about it.
Hr. Fenton wanted to go right to an RFQ and not have a Task Force. He felt
uncomfortable having the same legal representation as the City. The CRA was a
distinct organization and needed to have its own. attorney. If there were two opinions
on the 150-foot height limitation from two different legal firms, he would feel very
comfortable about it. At the moment, he did not feel comfortable having only one
opinion. Mr. Hutchinson stated that the current firm would be eligible for the RFQ.
A/ Oeklarco arrived at the meeting at 7:25 p.m.
vice Chair Tillman said if there were some specific legal service areas that were needed,
that should be in the'.RFQ. Mr. Hutchinson stated they would look for firms having a
substantial track record in CRA representation because they had everything from in-
house personnel issues to multi-million dollar incentive programs. They could have an
RFQ to develop a short-list and interview from that list.
Ns. Horenburger asked that the RFQ specify a length of time the candidate had been
involved with a local governmental district, agency, or authority. She thought it should
be from 5 to 10 years. Mr. Hutchinson believed the draft RFQ had a 5-year minimum,
but if the Board wanted it to be longer, that could be done.
5655

Meeting Minutes .-
Community Redevelopment Agency Continuation
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 15, 2004
Chair Heavilin thought the Task Force was a good idea so the legal tasks could be
defined and then the RFQ requirements, if it were decided that an RFQ was a good
idea.
Ms. Horenburger thought that across-the-board experience would be required from
inter-personal issues to inter-governmental issues, real estate issues, and so forth.
Mr. Fenton suggested having an RFQ and then have the Task Force evaluate the
candidates and make a recommendation to the Board from the short list.
Mr. Myott asked if this would have any impact on next year's budget. Mr. Hutchinson
responded that they had looked at other CRAs and the rate they were paying and the
amount of work they had, and they should be in good shape on the budget. He had
$100K reserve in the budget for Legal - Other Services.
Board Attorney Lindsey Payne clarified the lawsuit matter, saying that there was no
technical conflict because the CRA was not a party to the suit. Although her firm
represented the City, she realized that Mr. Hutchinson might want a second opinion
because of that. Also, the CRA was only a recommending body to the City Commission
and therefore, there was no real legal conflict.
Mr. rVlyott verified with Attorney Payne that the parties to the ~eferenced lawsuit were
Save our Cities vs. City of Boynton BeaCh.
Ms. Horenburger stated that while that might not be a conflict, there was no guarantee
that conflicts would not arise in the future. All of the CRAs of which she had knowledge
had legal counsel independent from the cities they were in. Board Attorney Payne
responded that it was done both ways.
Motion
Mr. Fenton moved to issue the existing, standard RFQ for independent legal services
and when the RFQs were received back in house, a Legal Review Task Force would be
created to review the submissions and make a recommendation to the Board. Vice
Mayor Tillman seconded the motion.
It was agreed that Task Force and Selection Committee were the same thing for
purposes of this motion.
Mr. Hutchinson asked if the Task Force could be determined at this meeting or whether
it had to be brought back to the Board to choose Task Force members at a later date.

Meeting Minutes
Community Redevelopment Agency Continuation
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 15, 2004
Ms. Horenburger thought the Task Force should be selected at this meeting. They
would not have to actually meet until the responses came back.
Chair Heavilin was still in favor of having a Task Force to consider the way legal staff
was being utilized and the need for an RFQ.
The vote was 6-1, Chair Heavi/in dissenting,
K. Consideration of New CRA Office Space Rental
Hr. Hutchinson reported that they had been able to find an office that was three doors
down from the existing office on the first floor, Office Number 103. The cost to rent this
space would be $1,600 per month with a one-year lease renewable upon agreement of
both parties into the future. The office had been completely redone with new, modern
Berber carpet, a nice bathroom, separate offices' for the accounting personnel, a
separate lobby area, a huge conference room with space for the CRA model, plus a
copy and work room to facilitate paperwork. It fit the layout very well and afforded the
privacy that the CRA needed. The rent was reasonable and Mr. Hutchinson had been
looking for a long time. Also, in the budget for next year, there was an' item for rental
of substations in the area for the Police Department. He proposed retaining the old
CRA office for this purpose. Operating in the existing office was becoming untenable
and he hoped that the Board would consider allowing this rental,
Mr. Fenton was happy to hear they would be moving. He asked if there were any
relocation costs built into the budget for-this move. Mr. Hutchinson said that in the
revised budget they had allocated funds for relocation to that office and a little bit of
new furniture and equipment. He asked if the Police-would be renting the existing
space? Mr. Hutchinson stated that part of the $350K was set aside for office rent
($18K). The CRA would continue to pay it. It was $1K a month, so they were way
under budget on that item.
Chair Heavilin asked what Mr. Hutchinson had meant by "the potential to acquire key
office furnishings." She asked how much money was involved. Mr. Hutchinson was not
s~r'e about that. The former tenant was .left Douglas and he was keeping an office in
the area, so he would be keeping his furniture. There was money in the budget to
upgrade some of the existing CRA furniture. A lot of what they already had could be
used in a back-up kind of way. Everything had been purchased used for the existing
office.
Nr. DeHarco recused himself from voting on this item since he had been involved in the
negotiations for the rental.
Chair Heavilin verified that the monthly rent would be $1,680,

Motion
Vice Chair Tillman moved to accept the Director's request for rental of additional office
space. Hs. Horenburger seconded the motion that carried 6-0.
Chair Heavilin asked Mr. Hutchinson if he desired to have a motion on the use of the
existing office space as a Police substation. He responded that he was just going to
keep paying the rent. From now to October 1, it was in the budget. After that, if the
Board decided not to have a Police program, there would be points at which it could be
cut off.
X. Commission Action
Hr. Hutchinson said that lots of action would take place at the next Commission
meeting on _]uly 20. The ]:PUD was coming up, the height exception, and also the
Renaissance and Winchester properties. The latest Commission action had been the
two Board appointments for the CRA.
XI. Board Member Comments
Ms. Horenburger addressed the state of the agenda packets..She stated that she had
been on boards since the late 1970s and was astonished at how. the agenda information
was delivered to the Board members. She asked for binders containing at least most of
the needed information to be delivered to the Board members earlier and appropriately
separated with tabbed dividers. She had talked to Mayor Taylor about trying to get the
Planning & Development staff to deliver the information to the CRA earlier So the Board
members could get the information all at one time instead of in pieces..She referred to
a discussion about being short of staff and having to make so many copies. If the
Planning staff started to deliver items in a more timely fashion, the CRA office could go
the high school to recruit a student who might be in training to work in an office, to put
the agendas together and make the copies. Or, it could be put out for printing and
collating somewhere else.
N:r.' Barretta also found reading the agenda packets challenging due to the manner in
which they were presented.
Nr. Hutchinson said that his problem was that the agenda contained official documents.
He had gotten calls from people stating that pages were missing, and this had legal
ramifications under certain circumstances. He did not want that in the hands of high
school students, even if done in the office. Tf they did that, they would still have to
have a staff person verify that it was done correctly, which would take almost as much
time as having a student do it. Mr. Hutchinson continued, saying that in the next
5658
12
Meeting Minutes --
Community Redevelopment Agency Continuation
Boynton Beach, Florida
July 15, 2004
budget, they were asking for one more person in addition to the replacement for the
secretary.
The agendas often went to more than 500 pages, and not all the information was
generated by the CRA. A person was needed to make sure that everything came in at
the right time and in the right way. It might be necessary to designate someone to be
dedicated to public information. Citizens appeared at the door and want things as well.
They would try to update the binders and he asked for forbearance while they tried to
do that.
In regard to the Planning and Development Division agenda item preparation, Mr.
Hutchinson did not direct City staff. He had been given direction from the Board to
discuss this with City staff, had done so, and had received e-mails in return that he
shared with the Board. The problem was not solved. He could not get those materials
to the CRA any sooner.
Mr. Hutchinson thought that the Planning & Development Division might want to
examine its submittal schedule from the TRC review cycle onwards, to see if it was too
tight. The CRA was getting packages from them at 5:00 p.m. on a Friday night, causing
the CRA staff to put everything together and deliver it to the members at 8:00 p.m. that
night. Now, they tried to get the packets out on Mondays so the Board would have a
full week to look at them. It might be that Planning & Development staff needed to
consider their schedules going back through the TRC review cycle, to give the CRA the
courtesy of more time to prepare its agenda packets. Hr. Hutchinson commented that
some major things were found to be missing from the agenda packets because they
were being so pressed. Part-time help could possibly help if the deadlines were not so
tight. On the other-hand, if skilled personnel were not doing the agenda packets,
serious mistakes could occur.
Chair Heavilin said that the downside was penalizing the applicant with a longer time
frame than expected to get the needed approvals. Hr. Barretta asked if they could
institute something whereby if an item were not received by a certain cut-off date, it
would automatically be considered at the following meeting. Mr. Hutchinson said they
did have that, but the applicants had been told the timeframe and that if they met a
certain date, they would be in front of the Board by a certain date. Mr. Hutchinson said
that they needed to be fair to the applicant at the beginning of the application process,
advising them that delays might occur.
Ms. Horenburger said it was her understanding that Planning & Zoning sent one copy to
the CRA and the CRA had to make 22 copies and collate them. That was a demanding
task and one that needed to be addressed. She also thought that the Board had to start
protecting itself. There had been a very long meeting on Tuesday night and they were
back for a second time.

Mr. Hutchinson stated that the Planning & Zoning staff had to respect the CPA's
timetables.
Ms. Horenburger commented that if the situation did not get resolved through a part-
time .person or some other way, the Board should ask the City Commission to address
the situation and determine if the Planning & Zoning timeframes were reasonable.
Some of the other Board members were not as concerned about the agenda packets.
Chair Heavilin commented that she was hearing two issues: 1) when the CPA received
the material, and 2) the way it was presented to the members in the agenda packets.
She felt that it only took her about five minutes to put the separate packets into their
correct place and that was not a problem.
Ms. Horenburger stated that there should be tabs for each item. Some other members
did not agree. Ms. Horenburger did not think she should have to spend her own time
sorting things out. She stated that other organizations did better than this and so could
this one.
Mr. Myott commented that after 8 years on the Planning & Development Board, he
greatly appreciated the quality of the agenda packets provided by the CPA.

Consideration of FaCade Grant Extension for Boynton Boundless, LLC
According to the Facade Grant Program, the applicant must request a six-month
extension if they will not be completed within the grant extension period of six months.
Boynton Boundless, LLC began extensive renovation at 209-211 Seacrest Boulevard
June 23, 2003, which is now 90% completed. This grant was given a six-month
extension on January 23, 2004, but due to additional problems most recently with the
City of Boynton Beach Inspectors the project will not be completed until September
2004.
Staff is recommending the extension of the Fa(2ade Grant for Boynton Boundless, LLC
of $15,000, which will begin August 10, 2004 and end February 10, 2005.

This firm represents Boynton Boundless, LLC, owner of the above-referenced real property
(the "Property"). f am writing regarding the Facade Grant Application filed regarding the
Property.
The construction has been significantly delayed due to numerous unexpected items. Most
recently, the city inspectors have discovered certain problems. The contractor is making
progress in correcting these issues, but this again has increased the delay. We expect to
have a Certificate of'Occupancy by September of this year.
If you have any questions regarding, these matters, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Abandonment of a portion of Northeast 3~'~.ven'Ue
ABAN 04-004
NATURE OF REOUEST
The applicants, Ron .lanis and Karen .lanis-Brown are requesting to abandon a portion of the Northeast 3~ Avenue
right-of-way. This 40-foot wide unimproved right-of-way is situated between lots 11 and 30 of the Arden Park plat.
The abandonment request was submitted on May 12, 2004. The platted roadway segment is described as follows:
A portion of N.E. 3~d Avenue lying in the Plat of Arden .Parkas recorded in Plat Book 2, page 96.of the: Public
Records of Palm Beach County, Florida. Said land being described as follows:
Bounded on the North by the South line of lot 30 Arden Park;
Bounded on the South by the North line of lot :~:1. Arden Park;
Bounded on the West by the Northerly extension of the lot 11, Also. being the West line of the plat Arden
Park; and
Bounded on the East by the Southerly extension of the East line of lot 30, also being the West right-of-way
line of Northeast 3rd Street, as recorded in the plat of Arden Park. · ..... . '-
Containing 5,528.714 square feet more or less and subject to easements and right-of-way of record.
The Exhibit "A"- Location Map shows the general vicinity of the right-of-way to be abandoned. The Exhibit"B';
"Proposed Abandonment" shows the exact location of the subject site and its legal description. The following is a
description of the land uses and zoning districts of all properties that surround the subject right-of-way.
North
Developed commercial (Coastal Cycles), zoned General Commercial (C-4);
South
East
Partially developed commercial (Fred & 3oe's), zoned General Commercial (C-4);
Right-of-way for Northeast 3~ Street; and
West - Developed residential, Two-family Duplex Residential (R-2).
Page 2
Memorandum No. PZ 04-189
ABAN 04-004
The subject right-of-way (formally known as Sheppard Street) lies partially within the boundaries of the Arden Park
Addition to Boynton plat. The plat, originally approved in April of 1913, included 172 individual lots, a 25-foot wide
strip of land along the Florida East Coast (F.E.C.) right-of-way, and several 10-foot wide and 40-foot wide alleys,
which were dedicated for perpetual use by the public. The applicant informed staff that it is their intention to
abandon the unimproved right-of-way in order to develop additional parking for their tenant (Coastal Cycles) located
at 403 Northeast 3rd Street.
ANALYSTS
When a right-of-way, such as this alley, is abandoned, the ownership of the abandoned land is transferred from the
City of Boynton Beach to the abutting property owner(s). Typically, two (2) properties would be affected by an
abandonment request. Normally, one-half of the right-of-way is conveyed to one (1) abutting property owner and
the other half is conveyed to the other abutting property owner. Adequate public notice was given to all affected
property owners in accordance with Chapter 22, Article I]~I, Section 4 of the Land Development Regulations. All
public utility companies have been notified and the abandonment request has been advertised in the local
newspaper. The applicants requesting this abandonment are the owners of the property to the north (Lot 30 Arden
Park). Public records indicate that Kenneth Schweitzer and Steven McGuirk own the property to the south (Lot 11
Arden Park). A summary of the responses from the utility companies and city staff is noted as follows:

N/A
All public utility providers have indicated that they have no objection to the applicant's request for abandonment.
However, it must be noted that a wastewater line is currently located along the centerline of the unimproved
roadway. ;Therefore, the Department of Public Works is requiring that a utility easement be dedicated over the
abandoned portion of the right-of-way. A dedication of a utility easement would grant the City legal access to the
property for maintenance or upgrade purposes, while still allowing the applicant to develop a portion of the property
as a parking lot.
Lastly, the subject right-of-way terminates to the west of developed property preventing future extension of this
right-of-way to connect with Northeast 2nd Street. There are also no isolated parcels adjacent to the subject right-
of-way which would rely solely upon this street for access.
RECObtt4ENDATZON
Staff has determined that the subject alley does not serve a public purpose, and therefore is
recommending approval of the request to abandon this portion of the 40-foot unimproved roadway as
Page 3

described above, subject to the comments included in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional

Beginning at Federal Highway extending easterly 150 feet is developed commercial

A majority of the use to the east is right-of-way for the Intracoastal Waterway.
However, a portion of the use is comprised of a finger canal of the :[ntracoastal

unincorporated Palm Beach County Residential Multi-family (RM) zoning.
West:
Right-of-way for Federal Highway, then further west is undeveloped residential
(approved for Oceanside NWSP 04-004) with a Special High Density Residential
(SHDR) land use classification, zoned lnfill Planned Unit Development ([PUD)
BACKGROUND
The applicant submitted a request for new site plan (NWSP 04-003) approval for the construction of :L:L3
townhouses. The City Commission approved the site plan on .luly 20, 2004, contingent upon the review and
approval of a height exception for the clubhouse. This application represents the request for height
exception. The maximum building height in the [PUD zoning district is 45 feet and the building cannot exceed
.four (4) stories. All the townhouse buildings proposed within the Waterside development were under four (4)
stories tall and less than 45 feet in height, and therefore, met the district's height limitation. Likewise, the
mean building height of the three (3)-story clubhouse building was proposed at 39 feet - four (4) inches and
also met the district's height limitation. However, the decorative cupola proposed on top of the clubhouse
exceeds 45 feet and therefore, would require the approval of a height exception. The elevations (see - Exhibit
"B") show that the most prominent feature of the first floor of the clubhouse would be its hollow cavity, which
would allow an unobstructed view from Federal Highway to the Tntracoastal Waterway. The actual a'
conditioned areas of the building would occur only on the second and third floors.
ANALYS;~$
Except for within the Central Business District (CBD), Mixed-Use Low (MU-L), and Mixed-Use High (MU-H)
zoning districts, the standard citywide maximum building height is 45 feet. The subject property lies within
the :[PUD zoning district and therefore, the maximum building height is 45 feet. The Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4. F.3, Height Limitations and Exceptions, states that in considering
an application for an exception to the district height regulation, the City Commission shall make findings
indicating the proposed exception has been studied and considered in relation to minimum standards, where
applicable.
The building as shown on the elevations (see Exhibit "B") is proposed at 39 feet - four (4) inches in height.
Therefore, the proposed building complies with the maximum allowable building height in the [PUD zoning
district. 'However, the peak of the pitched roof (of the decorative cupola) would be 52 feet - five (5) inches
in height and therefore, would require a height exception of seven (7) feet - five (5)-inches. Typically, roofs
and parapet walls that conceal electrical and mechanical support systems are eligible to be considered for
height exceptions. Likewise, decorative cupolas are structures eligible for height exceptions, in considering
an application for exception to district height regulations, the City Commission shall make findings indicating
that the proposed exception has been studied and considered in relation to specific standards. One of these
standards is measuring the effect or perceived impact, if any, the structure would have on neighboring
properties.
The exception would not have an adverse effect on the existing and proposed land uses. When evaluating
potential negative impacts, among other criteria, staff is concerned with the distance of the spire to the
nearest single-family zoning district. However, this is not an issue with this project. The subject property
borders Federal Highway to the west and the [ntracoastal Waterway to the east. Also, the properties to the
Page 3
Memorandum No. PZ 04-191
north and south are zoned Palm Beach County Residential Multi-family (RM). The site plan (see Exhibit "B"
- sheet SP1 of 2) shows that the clubhouse building would be approximately ll5 feet away from the north
property line and nearly :L60 feet from the south property line. Therefore, the decorative cupola would not
negatively impact adjacent properties in terms of reducing light or air. The height exception would not
adversely effect property values in adjacent areas or adversely influence the living conditions in neighboring
communities. The decorative cupola would serve no other purpose aside from aesthetic value and appeal.
The building could function without the cupola, however, it would be more plain and not in keeping with the
high quality of the Waterside development. Granting of this height exception does not constitute a special
privilege to the current property owner. Staff feels that the decorative cupola would enhance the overall
project dynamic and its exclusion would be detrimental to the clubhouse design. Therefore, staff
determined that the project meets the intent of all criteria itemized in Chapter 2, Section 4.F.3. of the Land
Development Regulations.
RECOMMENDAT~ON
Based on the analysis contained herein, staff recommends that this request for a height exception of seven
(7) feet - (5) inches be approved for the proposed cupola. No conditions of approval are recommended;
however, any conditions of approval recommended by the Board or required by the City Commission will be
placed in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval accordingly.

Code Review - Car Rental (CDRV 04-006)
To amend Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 6.C.l.cc.(3) to allow car rental as accessory to
auto repair businesses on properties zoned Community Commercial (C-3) and greater
than 75 acres in area
NATURE OF REOUEST
Mr. Michael A. Rodfiguez, representaUve for Cendant Car Rental Group is requesting to amend Chapter
2, Zoning, Section 6.C.l.cc. (3) of the Land Development Regulations to allow car rental businesses as
accessory uses to minor automotive repair in shopping centers that are greater than 75 acres. A car
rental business, if proposed as an accessory use to a minor automotive repair business, would require
conditional use review and approval. The revised code (underlined) is proposed as follows:
CC,
Repair of motor vehicles or tire sales and service, limited to minor repairs (see definitions
"minor repairs'd, and including car washes as an accessory use, are as follows:
This use is not permitted on sites less than five (5) acres in size.
(2)
On sites of greater than five (5) acres and less than seventy-five (75) acres, all such
uses shall be located in either a principal building of a shopping center or in a
subordinate stand-alone building and / or outparcel within a commercial Master Plan,
provided that the subordinate stand-alone building and / or outparcel within a
commercial Master Plan is not located between the principal building and an adjoining
right-of-way or between the principal building and abutting residentially zoned property.
(3)
On sites of greater than seventy-five (75) acres all such uses will be allowed to be
located In a separate building in a shopping center. Rental of new or used automobiles
will be allowed as an accessory use within said buildinq subiect to the followinq
conditions:
(i)
(ii)
The customer service area.shall be located within said building.
No more than fifteen (15) automobiles shall be stored on-site for the purpose of
rental. Said automobiles shall be stored in marked stalls.
No fueling _or re-fueling of automobiles shall be permitted on-site.
Page 2
CDRV 04-006
It should be noted that the subject request would only affect one property, namely the Boynton Beach
Hall. No other property within the City is 75 acres or larger and zoned Community Commercial (C-3).
Cendant Car Rental Group seeks to locate their car rental business at the detached Sears Automotive
service center at the Boynton Beach Mall.
BACKGROUND
The City's Occupational License section categorizes car rental facilities consistent with the North
American Industry Classification System (1997), which was formerly the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual (1987). According to the Occupational License section and the NAICS, there is
only one category that is classified as Car Rental. The City issues licenses for car rental business
under the heading, "#532111 - Passenger Car Rental". According to the NAICS, this industry
comprises establishments primarily engaged in renting passenger cars without drivers, generally for
short periods of times. It excludes the renting or leasing passenger cars with drivers, such as
limousines, hearses, and taxis, which would all be categorized as #4853 -Taxi and Limousine Service.
It also excludes retailing passenger cars through sales or lease agreements, and leasing passenger
cars in combination with providing loans to buyers of such vehicles.
ANALYSZS
Passenger Car Rental establishments are currently allowed as conditional uses only in the General
Commercial (C-,I) zoning district. They are prohibited everywhere else in the city. The applicant did
not provide any written justification for the code amendment to the C-3 zoning district.
Existina businesses and conditional uses
The City currently has one (1) business (Enterprise Rent-A-Ca0 licensed for car rental. This business is
located at 1009 North Federal Highway and zoned General Commercial (C-4). As previously
menUoned, car rental businesses are categorized as "Passenger Car Rental" by the NAICS and the
Occupational License section. However, according to Chapter 2, Section 6.D. of the Land
Development Regulations, a car rental facility is allowed but only in the C-4 zoning district under the
following heading: "Sale or rental of new or used automobiles, boats, recreation vehicles, utility
trailers, and commercial trucks". Furthermore, conditional use review and approval is required.
Conditional uses are those uses that are perceived to have a negaUve impact and would not be
appropriate generally, or without restriction, throughout a zoning classification or district. Conditional
uses require public hearings and are evaluated on a separate set of development standards. Staff
reviews each request on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that they satisfactorily meet all 13 standards
for ~valuating conditional uses.
On August 5, 1997, the City Commission granted Enterprise Rent-A-Car (COUS 97-001) for conditional
use. Also, the business was required to obtain an Environmental Review Permit. Environmental
Review Permit #01-025 was issued to Enterprise Rent-A-Center on September 13, 2001. However,
the Environmental Review process has since been eliminated and replaced with the Toxic Substance
Permit process, which is overseen by the Fire Department. It seems unlikely that the proposed car
rental facility at Boynton Beach Mall would require a Toxic Substance Permit. The permit's applicability
would ultimately be determined when an Occupational License is requested.

CDRV 04-006
General characteristics of C-4 zoned DroDerb,,
Generally, heavy automobile and commercial uses are separated from commercial nodes and public
view. Currently, Passenger Car Rental establishments are therefore, allowed as conditional uses but
only in the C-4 zoning district. It must be noted that It is atypical to have a C-4 zoned property located
along a major arterial; however, the Enterprise Rent-A-Car site is an exception.
The general intent and purpose of the C-4 zoning district is to provide adequate space for more
intense commercial uses. Therefore, the "sale or rental of new or used automobiles, boats, recreation
vehicles, utility trailers, and commercial trucks" are relegated to those aforemenUoned areas that are
heavy commercial in nature. Accordingly, the intention is to separate these sites from less-intense
commercial activity and residenUal neighborhoods by virtue of the zoning district within which they are
allowed. Staff has acknowledged that historically, many properties in the C-4 zoning district were
designed and approved for heavy commercial and industrial uses with lower parking demand than
their commercial counterparts. However, these older sites have been converted for automoUve-
intensive uses that possess higher off-street parking demands. With respect to comparative parking
requirements, Chapter 2, Section 11. H., provision of off-street parking spaces, Section16.(O(1)
requires for industrial, research and development, trades, wholesale, and warehouses; one (1)parking
space per fve hundred ($00) square feet of gross foor area/plus required parking spaces for any
other principal uses, including office or retail foot area. Subsection 16.(f)(6) requires one (1) parking
space per eight hundred (800) square feet of gross foot area for wholesale, and warehouse uses.
However, according to Subsection 16.(d)(24) automotive paint and body shops are required one (1)
parking space for every three hundred (300) square feet of gross floor area, In add/t/on, each
overhead door and inter/or spray booth may be counted toward a parking space, provided there is a
m/n/mum area, the size of a standard paHdng space, between an overhead bay door and an Inter/or
spray booth, flowever, /n no case shall/ess than four (4) outs/de parking spaces be provided.
Furthermore, Chapter 2, Section 16.(0(4), including retail gasoline sales, retail automotive parts and /
or accessories sales, and automotive repairs, Including major repairs, but excluding automotive paint
and body shops are required one (1) parking space per two hundred (200) square feet of gross
area. The problem arises in situations when the auto-intensive use becomes busier, the demand for
extra parking spaces becomes more apparent. This is due to the accumulation of vehicles (either
waiting to be serviced or retrieved by the owners) and the lack of excess or overflow parking spaces.
However, these older, heavy commercial and Industrial sites are typically hidden and unseen from the
major arterials. Also, auto-intensive uses generally require large amounts of parking spaces. For
example, a car dealership is basically just one large parking lot.
Future implications
It was previously mentioned that the subject code amendment would only affect one (1) property
within the entire City of Boynton Beach. This property is the Boynton Beach Hall. The applicant
wants to operate a car rental business within a kiosk inside the Sears Automotive Center. The kiosk
would mostly likely require building permits for Interior renovations. No other property within the city
is zoned C-3 and exceeds 75 acres. Therefore, this proposed amendment would currently have no
impact on any property within the Community Redevelopment Area.
The Boynton Beach Hall is a development of regional impact (DP, I). The original DRI development
order (D.O. R74-343) was adopted by Palm Beach County on Hay 7, 1974 and then later by the City of
Boynton Beach per Ordinance No. 82-38 on November 16, 1982, when annexed Into the city. The
automotive service use was shown on the overall DRI master plan for the mall and was the subject of
Page 4
CDRV 04-006
a special exception granted on September 12, 1978 by Palm Beach County ResoluUon No. R78-1132.
The Sears' AutomoUve service use was accommodated under the original DRI because of the unbuilt
but approved third story of the Hacy's Department store. On January 3, 1995, the City Commission
approved Sears' conditional use / new Site plan request (COUS 94-006) to construct a 21,694 square
foot automotive service center and associated parking and landscaping. The approved site plan
showed that the operation required 87 parking spaces but provided 99 parking spaces, or a net
surplus of 12 parking spaces. Normally, when staff reviews for a code amendment, staff considers the
potential impact citywide. However, this amendment would only impact one property so therefore, it
seems logical to micro-manage and review on site-specific basis. The Sears' Automotive service center
site could accommodate the applicant's request but only within the surplus of 12 parking spaces.
Without site modifications, the site, and request is therefore limited to 12 spaces rather than the
requested 15 rental vehicles.
RECOMMENDA'~ON
Based on this analysis, staff recommends approval of the applicant's request to amend the code to
allow the rental of new or used automobiles as an accessory use (and conditional use) on those sites
greater than 75 acres. However, staff is recommending approval contingent upon the following text
change reducing the number of stored automobiles to coincide with site capacity (from 15 vehicles to
12 vehicles), and the addition of definitions, which would help to cladff/said use:
(3) On sites of greater than seventy-five (75) acres all such uses will be allowed to be located
in a separate building in a shopping center. Rental of new or used automobiles will be
allowed as an accessory use within said building subiect to the followinq condiUons:
O)
(ii)
(iii)
The customer service area shall be located within said building.
No more than fifteen (12) automobiles shall be stored on-site for the purpose of
rental. Said automobiles shall be stored in marked stalls.
No fuelinq or re-fueling of automobiles shall be permitted on-site.
Staff further recommends amending the Chapter 1, Article II. Definitions of the Land Development
Regulations to further clarify and safeguard against allowing any uses that are deemed undesirable to
the City at-large. The amended language is as follows:
Automobile Rental - see Passenger Car Rental
Passenger Car Rental - Establishments primarily engaged in rentina Dassenaer cars without
.drivers, generally for short periods of time. This excludes those establishments primarily
engaged in passenger car leasing and taxi and limousine services.
The amended language would allow passenger car rental establishments as condiUonal uses in
subordinate buildings of shopping centers of greater than 75 acres and zoned C-3. The language
proposed by staff recognizes the market demands; while at the same Ume preserving the performance
and design of the Seam' AutomoUve service center. By initiaUng the condlUonal use requirement, the
Sears' Automotive service center can be further reviewed for optimum layout, buffering, and operation
in order to maximize compatibility with the surrounding area.
Staff opins that the request is justified by the logical relationship between car repair and car rental,
and by the fact that the city currently only has one (1) licensed car rental business. Staff also
Page 5
CDRV 04-006
endorses the request given the limitations against the possible proliferation and impact on commercial
corridors, and since the subject site already has the parking space capacity to support this accessory
use. Furthermore, all future businesses would have to satisfactorily meet the standards for evaluating
conditional uses. Each application would be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, subject to advisory
Board and City Commission approval.

After bidding this project out several' times and having the final contracts come in

GUIDANCE PATHWAYS UPDATE
Hi Susan,
As I mentioned earlier, it took quite a while to get the entire
permitting put together and shipped out to the three regulating
authorities. I sent engineering drawings, legends, maps, photos and an
application to the city and have received back an approved permit
application from them as of Tuesday. I have out three sets of the same
packages to FDOT and expect to have approval "in about a week". I sent
four sets to the County and I am not sure how long they will take. I
will ask them for an estimate today. I am quite confident that there
will not be any additional hold ups. These were very comprehensive
applications and I am not aware of any reason that they should not
receive quick approval. I have also been in touch with the installer
and have advised him that he will need to be at the ready as soon as
the applications come in. Sorry this has taken so long, I think we are
pretty close now.

MEMO
TO: CRA Board
FROM:
Susan Vielhauer
SUBJECT: Consideration of Acceptance Funding for the Proposed Trolley
System (2004/2005 Budget Year).
DATE: July 27, 2004
On May 25, 2004 CRA Staff applied for a grant with the Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPC) for three trolleys and two routes. The grant application
requested the full amount of $40,000 per vehicle over three years. These grants
were award on July 15, 2004
Our winning trolley system was divided into two routes, which would sever to
alleviate the current problems of two different populations within the CRA area.
First, a parking study was conducted (2004) in the Marina Area, which identified
areas that were deficient in parking. In response to these parking issues, the first
trolley route proposed is a local circulator with a 7 minute Iccp, which would
move people between offsite parking lots located at the Civic Center, Library,
City Hall, and municipal parking lots on Ocean Avenue Thursday through
Saturday from 11:30 AM to 11:15 PM.
The second route is a local community transporter, which would connect our
major business activity center corridors to the minority and senior neighborhoods.
These trolleys would provide a lifeline for the existing local workers and senior
communities, which have the highest poverty levels, to jobs and shopping
located on Congress Avenue corridor as well as local regional mass transit. Staff
proposes to run two trolleys in opposite directions from the Boynton Beach Mall
on Congress Avenue and the Marina area. The route has stops in the Heart of
Boynton area. This route would be provided Monday through Friday from 7:15
AM to 6:14 PM. 5756
To address growth issues, the CRA contracted with Kimley-Horn to perform a
Traffic Concurrency Exception Area (TECA) for the CRA redevelopment area.
The study proposed several goals and objectives to be incorporated into the
City's Transportation and Future Land Use elements of the Comprehensive Plan
to mitigate potential problems. In the TECA two objectives were highlighted. One
was to participate in the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning
Organization's long range planning process and update the City's transportation
elements. The second was to assist Palm Tran in providing efficient mass transit
service based on existing and future trip generators. The proposed trolley
program would meet both objectives plus ties to Tri-Rail at the new Boynton
Station.
The TCEA established the process to monitor the need for transit, but looks to
the City/CRA to begin movement towards trolley system placement. Further, the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) comments to the CRA regarding
the TCEA plan (received 4/03/04) are, "the study should place more emphasis on
establishing the trolley system, as early as possible, and to encourage
development and lesson future auto impacts". The County and State are in
concurrence that Boynton Beach should address this mass transit issue sooner
than later and have required the CRA to move to establish these types of
programs.
Staff is proposing a start date of November 1, 2004 and to "piggy back" on to the
current turn-key contract from the City of Stuart. The comprehensive contract is
with Molly Trolleys at a flat rate of $55 per hour. The CRA would contract with
Molly Trolleys to provide the service and management of our trolley system.
Legal Staff has reviewed the City of Stuart's contract and verified the "piggy-back
contract for the CRA.
Molly Stahlman, President of Molly's Trolleys, a minority owned national
company, located in West Palm Beach, Florida' and Pittsburgh Pennsylvania,
which has provided excellent shuttle service throughout Palm Beach County and
5757
Pittsburgh Pennsylvania for the past seven years. Their reference list includes
Port of Palm Beach District logging 10,000 annual hours, Downtown
Development Association of West Palm Beach located on Clematis Street
logging 8,500 annual hours, Abacoa Trolley in Jupiter Florida logging 2,300
annual hours, and City of Stuart. Molly sets the standard of excellence for her
company starting at the top with management and translates this excellence to
her trolley drives, trolley cleaners, mechanics, and equipment.
Upon CRA Board approval of the pilot trolley program, staff will secure
professional marketing and advertising services to help fund the program.
Additionally, the CRA Staff, City Staff and the City Attorney have started the
process to evolve the "Payment in Lieu of Parking" ordinance into a mass transit
support fee. This new direction of Developer funds will help underwrite the
Trolley System.
Staff has attached a copy of the grant application, letter of award from the MPC
office, and a proposed contract for Molly's Trolleys, which would "Piggy back"
onto Stuart's contract.
Staff is recommending approval of the Pilot Trolley Program and Contract with
Molly's Trolleys.

City of Boynton Beach
Dear Ms. Vielhauer:
The contract the City of Smart entered into with Molly's Trolleys was for a period of one
year with the possibility of two additional one-year renewals. The term of the agreement
is from the date of execution (24 November 2003) through the day prior to the execution
date the following year. As of this date the service provided by Molly's Trolleys has
been more than acceptable, therefore the City of Stuart intends renew this agreement on
or before 23 November 2004.
Although the agreement specifically describes service during the 2003 - 2004 tourist
season, the City has used the trolley service described in the agreement throughout the
calendar year. This has been done in accordance with Paragraph III. AGREEMENT
PROVISIONS, Section 1.2 and Section 4 of the agreement.
Should the City of Boynton Beach desire to use this agreement to pt°cure Trolley
Services, the City of Stuart has no objection whatsoever. Should you have further
questions or ifI might be of additional assistance do not hesitate to contact me at the
address, email address or telephone number noted above.
Sincerely,
Charles T. Iverson
Purchasing Agent
City of Smart, Florida

Susan Vielhauer
SUBJECT: Proposed Language Changes to Human Resources Manual
DATE: July 27, 2004
The following language changes, identified in red, are proposed changes to the
Human Resources Manual. These changes are in response to the Staff's inquiry
as to what happens with Sick and Vacation time if an employee leaves the CRA
in good standing. These changes are already in place in the CRA Executive
Director contract.
The proposed changes are in line with polices and procedures of the Delray
Community Redevelopment Agency and the City of Boynton Beach. Legal Staff
has reviewed the policy changes.
Staff is recommending the approval of these changes for the Human Resources
Manual for the CRA Employees.
5778
5-3 ADDRESSANDTELEPHONE NUMBER
Employees are required to report any change in address or telephone number to
the CRA Executive Director within ten (10) working days of the change. Failure to
comply with this requirement may result in disciplinary actions up to and including
termination. The employee shall also maintain on a current basis the name,
address and telephone number of the person(s) to contact in case of emergency.
5-4 POLICIAL ACTIVITY
No CRA employee shall take any active part in political campaigns or other
political activities during duty hours. In accordance with Florida Statutes, as
amended, employees are prohibited from engaging in certain types of political
activities while either on or off duty. Employees, in their private capacities, may
express their opinions on any political candidate or issue and/or participate in
campaigns during their off-duty hours; however, they are prohibited from using
their official authority or influence or appearance of doing so through the wearing
of CRA uniforms or official attire, or in CRA vehicles while participating in political
campaigns, for the purpose of aiding or interfering with an election or nomination,
or coercing or influencing another person's vote or affecting the result thereof.
No buttons, bumper stickers, pins, or any political signage shall be adhered to
CRA vehicles, or worn during the workday while on the job, or worn on CRA
official attire, or posted on or about CRA premises. Nothing herein shall be
construed to prohibit an employee's right to engage in casual workplace
discussions on social or political topics, so long as such discussions do not, in
the judgment of management of the CRA, interfere with the orderly, peaceful,
and efficient performance of assigned duties or with the valid exercise of
authority of management.
5-5 RESIGNATION
Resignation is the voluntary separation of an employee from employment
accomplished by serving a written notice expressing a decision to end employment
with the CRA. Such written notice shall be deemed to be accepted immediately. An
employee who wishes to leave in good standing shall provide at least two (2) weeks
notice, before leaving. Resignations may be rescinded only with the written approval
of the CRA Executive Director.
All employees who have completed their probationary period and give two weeks
written notice only will receive their accumulated sick and vacation time to date.
Employees that fail to report to work or fail to call in absent to their supervisor for
three (3) consecutive working days shall be deemed as having voluntarily resigned
from employment. A letter of termination shall be mailed within two (2) working days
to the last know address of the employee accepting their voluntary resignation.
