Minutes 11-09-04 MINUTES OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY REGULAR MEETING HELD IN COMMISSION CHAMBERS, CITY HALL, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2004 AT 6:30 P.M. Present Jeanne Heavilin, Chairperson Douglas Hutchinson, CRA Director Henderson Tillman, Vice Chair Lindsey Payne, Board Attorney James Barretta Alexander DeMarco Don Fenton Marie Horenburger Absent Steve Myott I. Call to Order Chairperson Heavilin called the meeting to order at 6:28 p.m. II. Roll Call The Recording Secretary called the roll and declared a quorum was present. II1. Agenda Approval A. Additions, Deletions, Corrections to the Agenda Mr. Fenton requested to move Item A under New Business, before the Consent Agenda. Ms. Horenburger requested to move Director's Report after New Business. B. Adoption of Agenda Motion Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the Agenda. Motion seconded by Mr. DeMarco and unanimously carried. IX. New Business A. Consideration and Selection of New Legal Representation for the CRA Mr. Hutchinson explained that the Board held a Workshop prior to the Regular Meeting where Board members were allowed the opportunity to interview the two finalists. Staff Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 looked to the Board for the selection of a firm to enter into a contract for legal counsel services. Chair Heavilin concurred that both firms did a good job on their presentations and seem very well qualified. Ms. Horenburger commented that she liked the possibility of making arrangements with regards to the fees as presented by the representative of Lewis, Longman & Walker and feels that the Board could save money in the fee process this way. Chair Heavilin reviewed the RFPs at length and said she is leaning a little more toward Weiss, Serota, et al. She feels the experience this firm has in CRAs and public sector legislation was a little bit stronger. The transportation issue the City will be facing is going to be one of the Board's challenges and feels this firm is a little stronger in that area. She also stated that the Board would be well served by either organization. Mr. Tillman agreed with Chair Heavilin that the Board would be well served by either firm because they both have very strong backgrounds. A firm with multiple expertise is important because of the tremendous undertakings that the Board has before them, specifically the Savage Creatures Museum. A firm that has a history with Ocean Ridge would be an asset. Weiss, Serota, et al does have that experience and since we don't know Ocean Ridge's outlook on the museum and the waterway rights, that's a major concern. The attorney has had more direct CRA experience and that is something this Board needs in terms of the direction in which the CRA has to move. Mr. Fenton stated his preference was the firm of Lewis, Longman & Walker due to their eagerness to get the job done and devotion to allot the time necessary to do the job properly. The qualifications of both firms are superior. He commended the Search Committee on the selection of the two finalists. He said he felt concern that Mr. Tillman's question about time allocation was not answered directly by the other attorney from Weiss, Serota, et al and is still unsure about her answer. When he asked the same question of the attorney from Lewis, Longman & Walker, he received a much more definitive, eager answer. Mr. Demarco agreed with Mr. Fenton regarding the Lewis, Longman & Walker and was impressed with their presentation. Their location in Palm Beach County is important because it will reduce the hourly fees that would normally be assessed for travel time. He felt that their experience in Palm Beach County would enable them to do a better job for the Boynton Beach CRA. Ms. Horenburger agreed with Mr. Demamo regarding his Palm Beach County comments. She said the experience that Lewis, Longman & Walker have working with the agencies and agency heads in Palm Beach County would be a tremendous asset. Because this firm has several offices throughout the State, the experience they have working with the State and Federal agencies in those locations is also a strong point. Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 Mr. Hutchinson stated Staff recommends both firms equally. He has spent a lot of time working with both in preparing them for tonight's meetings, and found that they both would work well with Staff. In the event that Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. did not accept the nomination, the firm of Weiss, Serota, et al becomes the nominated firm. Mr. Lindsey stated this could be done at the Board's discretion. Motion Mr. Fenton moved to nominate and approve Lewis, Longman & Walker P.A. as General Counsel for the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency with an immediate start date. Ms. Horenburger seconded the motion that passed 4-2 with Chair Heavilin and Vice Chair Henderson dissenting. Mr. Spillius accepted the appointment. Until such time as a fee structure is proposed and approved, Mr. Spillius and his firm will bill at the firm's hourly rate. These rates were included in the firm's RFP response. Motion Mr. Tillman moved to authorize Staff to negotiate a fee structure with Lewis, Longman & Walker, P.A. Ms. Horenburger seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Mr. Hutchinson commended Ms. Payne for the work that she has performed in getting the CRA where it is today. Ms. Payne thanked the Board, saying she has enjoyed working with everyone and would assist with the transition to Lewis, Longman & Walker. IV. Consent Agenda A.

The Board congratulated Mr. Hutchinson on being hired again. Chair Heavilin thanked Mr. Hutchinson and Staff for their hard work under very trying cimumstances and commented that it has also been a good year working with them. V. Public Audience None. VI. Public Hearing Attorney Payne administered the oath to all persons who would be testifying. Old Business A. New Site Plan Approval (Tabled September 14th 2004) 1. PROJECT: Edward Medical Office (NWSP 04-012) 4 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 AGENT: Hany Edward OWNER: Hany Edward LOCATION: 3908 North Federal Highway DESCRIPTION: Request for new site plan approval for an 11,796 square foot medical office building in the C-3 zoning district. Motion Mr. Tillman moved to remove Edward Medical Office (NWSP 04-012) from the table. Ms. Horenburger seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Eric Johnson, Planner, stated this project came before the Board in September with an annexation, rezoning and a new site plan. The Board reviewed all three and approved the annexation and rezoning. The site plan was tabled for design esthetics including deficiencies such as a lack of continuity between the 1st and 2nd floors, detail of the north or the front fa(;ade, the height of the parapet wall and the lack of foundation landscaping along the rear fa~;ade. The applicant revised the plans, elevations, and presented to Staff for review. Staff has reviewed the revisions and determined they comply with code. Mr. Johnson clarified that the site plan now houses 59 parking spaces instead of 60 but still complies with code. The Staff is recommending approval of the changes. Mr. Johnson stated that the first site plan reflected had different building colors and Staff worked with the applicant to try to reduce the color intensity. The colors are now Sherwin Williams paints: Champaign (SW6644) and Orange Blast (SW6646). The color of the cupola would be Ceramic Tile. The Condition of Approval was removed as the elevations were revised to comply with Staff's recommendations. Mr. Fenton asked for clarification of the use of the property. Jose Obeso, architect, stated that the intent of the building would be mainly for medical offices that house physicians practicing medicine. Mr. Barretta commented he would have difficulty supporting the project because there would be no landscaping along the entire south side of the property and rear of the building. Mr. Barretta assured the Board they would be disappointed with the south elevation of this building if it would be approved in its current manner. He explained that they would regret approving this plan because the visual field from Federal Highway would be a 2¼-story solid wall, 171 feet long, with no buffer. He reminded the Board that they, and people in the City, are very unhappy with the townhouses that Centex built on the Lanolta property because of the view from Federal Highway and would not want the same situation to occur. 5 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 A discussion ensued regarding the lack of landscaping on the rear of the property. Mr. Obeso argued that because the Zoning Department allows the building to be placed on the property line, landscaping should not be mandated. If landscaping is the issue, the zoning code should not allow buildings to be placed on the property line and the ordinance should be changed. He made provisions to break up the length of the building in order to provide landscaping in two pockets, as reflected in the site plan revisions that now provide an attractive visual field. If more landscaping is required, then the building needs to be totally separated from the property line. He said he has gone to great lengths to make the rear of the building look beautiful by decorating with stucco. Mr. Obeso confirmed he has complied with each of the 40 conditions as requested and would be willing to enhance the landscaping elsewhere on the property to improve the street appeal. He had several meetings with the City and followed through on their suggestions. However, because there are certain restrictions on the width of the lot, the building had to be pushed to the side in order to make it more functional. He said some of the things being asked are not feasible. One of the suggestions was to put the building in the middle of the site. This would not work because the site is not wide enough. It was suggested that since there are no mandates that the square footage of the building be kept as is, Mr. Obeso consider a multi-story building or reducing the amount of square footage as an alternate resolve to the landscaping issue. Mr. Obeso argued the building has to be feasible in order to justify construction. He has exceeded the requirements for green space as required for the site and is not violating any zoning criteria. Motion Barretta, moved to deny this project. unanimously. Mr. Tillman seconded the motion that passed Chair Heavilin advised Mr. Obeso that he is welcome to submit a reconfigured building site plan for further review. Hany Edward, property owner, declared his annoyance with this motion saying that the site plan meets all the codes required by the City. Chair Heavilin stated that the Board has worked hard to establish a certain criteria for all building projects and the project still has to be reviewedby the City Commission. New Business B. Land Use Plan AmendmentJRezoninq 6 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 1. PROJECT: Barr Property (LUAR 04-009) AGENT: John Barr, Cornerstone Premier Communities OWNER: BMVFL-1, Inc. LOCATION: 1801 NE 4th Street DESCRIPTION: Request to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map from High Density Residential to Special High Density residential; and Request to rezone from R-3 Multi-family Residential to Planned Unit Development (PUD). Proposed use: townhouse community of 180 units. C. New Site Plan 1. PROJECT: Barr Property (NWSP 04-013) AGENT: John Barr, Cornerstone Premier Communities OWNER: BMVFL-1, inc. DESCRIPTION: Request New Site Plan approval for a 180-unit townhome development on a 9.88-acre pamel in a proposed PUD zoning district. Dick Hudon, Senior Planner, presented the item on behalf of Staff. The property is approximately 9.88 acres, just under the 10-acre requirement and falls under the Small Scale Amendment. The City must approve prior to sending to the Department of Community Affairs for their review and approval. The existing land use is high density residential which allows a maximum density of 10.8 dwelling units per acre and it is currently the site of Boynton Mobile Home Park. The request is to rezone the property to high density residential which has a maximum residential density of 20 units per acre. The companion zoning to that will be a planned unit development (PUD), in order to build a townhouse style community of 180 units. The basic expectation is anyone asking for a land use of the special high density residential category and PUD regulations will develop to standards that exceed the City's basic development standards in terms of site design, building architecture, construction materials, amenities, and landscape design. A detailed master plan or site plan approval is required at the time the zoning is approved. The site plan will be reviewed under a separate item. 7 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 The surreunding uses of the property include a single-family residential development to the north; however, it is designated high density residential and is zoned R-3 which is multi-family. The area to the south and west of the property is also high density residential and R-3 zoning. East of the property are the rights to the FEC railroad tracks and the North Federal Highway right-of-way. There is developed property on the east side of Federal Highway that is designated local retail commemial and zoning R-3 community commereial except for the Boat Ramp Park. Staff is recommending approval of the two requests for the following reasons: the request is consistent with relevant policies in the Comprehensive Plan and the adopted Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan. The redevelopment of the preperty is desirable. The proposed rezoning maintains the residential character of the area and will provide an esthetically pleasing living environment in proximity to the Downtown. Also, the proposed development meets the standards expected when a PUD is requested in a high-density residential land use category. Chair Heavilin suggested the Board hear each of the Barr Property items separately because of the amount of people waiting to speak during public audience. Mr. Barretta excused himself frem voting on this project due to a legal contreversy with the design architect and completed a Form 8B which is on file in the City Clerk's Office. Ms. Horenburger questioned the backgreund in the proposal. It stated that the townhouse units would not be fee simple. She was counseled that the question applied to the comprehensive plan, not the site plan. Eric Assimi, representative of the Cornerstone Group, stated that his company did not have anything further to add to the presentation and he was there to answer questions. Several residents took the podium and expressed their displeasure with the redevelopment of the mobile home park. Their concerns are: · The 80 families currently residing in the community will be displaced with nowhere else to live, nor the funds to relocate themselves and their families. · No one has provided any information to them regarding their options. · All the residents are on a fixed-income. · If they are forced to relocate, they must continue to pay on the current property. · They are being discriminated against. The residents are Elderly, Veterans, Disabled, Black, White, Hispanic, single moms, etc. One resident declared he would take this issue to the American Civil Liberties Union and any other organization dealing with discrimination. 8 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 Many residents have invested what little money they had into these properties because they purchased their homes with the assumption that this would be their final home. Some residents rent their home. What options are available to them? Attorney Payne clarified that the property owner is responsible for meeting the requirements for relocation programs and would be the responsible party to disseminate assistance program information to the residents. Mr. Assimi confirmed that there are Florida Statues that would provide relocation assistance but, by law, he is not allowed to speak with the residents until such time as his company is the property owner. This is estimated to be January, 2005. The Florida Relocation program would work with the developer and every member of the community to determine what benefits are available and would work with each person to locate comparable housing. He explained that Cornerstone Premier Communities also develops multi-family affordable housing and currently owns over 2,000 homes in the County. They are prepared to work with the residents to relocate them into one of their homes until such time as those that qualify can go back into the new development in a purchase capacity. This is a project that is slated to be a home ownership type development. Additionally, his company is working with the local CDC as partners in the development of this property. There are a few ideas that they would propose to the residents. David Zimet, Executive Director, Boynton Beach Faith-Based CDC, 2191 North Seacrest Boulevard, took the podium and stated his organization has recently been speaking with Cornerstone regarding a possible role in getting people of this community back into the development. They would have to comply with Florida regulations but his organization would work with them to help them become eligible for SHIP forgivable loans. Mr. Zimet translated this information in Spanish and also the information regarding Florida Statutes that provide for their relocation, provided the property is sold and the rezoning is approved. Mr. Hutchinson stated it would be wise for the developer to work with the existing property owner to address the residents concerns and bring back a plan so that when the Board meets to make a decision there is a strategy for rollout. He confirmed that the CDC deals with affordable housing on a regular basis. There is special money available through several avenues. Mr. Hutchinson stated he has discussed with the developer the CRAs ability, through the Direct Incentive Program, to support projects like this if there are affordable housing elements and public areas. The CRA can assist with direct incentives to reduce the unit 9 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 prices to meet the lowest thresholds. This property is directly adjacent to our Heart of Boynton project and has a set of rules that expedite the delivery of the incentives. Mr. Assimi asserted that they went a step further since they own affordable homes, apartments, and otherwise. They typically take that with counseling and marry the two. The third option was the SHIP subsidies and creating home ownership. They heard all of the concerns and he thought what they would do was create something that would allow all of the parties to sit together and move this forward. Chair Heavilin asked the residents to attend the meetings with an open mind and reach a consensus regarding what they and the organizations involved can do to make this situation work. She commented that redevelopment is not about displacing people; it is about creating a better community for everyone. The goal is for everyone to be relocated into equal or better housing. Motion Ms. Horenburger moved to table the requested Land Use Plan Amendment/Rezoning of Barr Property (LUAR 04-009). Mr. Tillman seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Motion Ms. Horenburger moved to table the request for the New Site Plan approval of Barr Property (NWSP 04-013). The motion was dually seconded and passed unanimously. Motion Mr. Tillman moved to create a date certain for the Land Use Plan Amendment/Rezoning (LUAR 04-009) and New Site Plan Approval of Barr Property (NWSP 04-013) until the regular meeting of the Community Redevelopment Agency scheduled on January 11, 2005. Mr. Fenton seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Motion Ms. Horenburger moved to open Item A under New Business, Edward Medical Office (NWSP 04-012) in order to hear discussion to table this project. The motion died for lack of a second. Motion Ms. Horenburger moved to hear Item C, New Business before Item B, New Business in order to allow the presenters to leave. Mr. Fenton seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Ms. Horenburger also commented that it would be a good idea for Staff to move the agenda items around in order to let people who would be making presentations be heard first. 10 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 VIII. Old Business None. IX. New Business C. Consideration of Selection of Underwriter for Bonds Julie Turner, CRAs Financial Advisor, stated her firm performed an RFP for an underwriter for the CRA's bond needs. Proposals were received from 5 firms, all of which were very well qualified. She commented the Board should be proud that there was so much interest in the RFP. Bank of America demonstrated the most qualified proposal, having more tax increment revenue experience than any of the other respondents. They have a large number of offices throughout the State that should help the CRA get the lowest cost on its bonds. It is her recommendation that the Board move forward with Bank of America as their underwriter. Ms. Turner clarified that a co-manager is not necessary because the CRA has a relatively small account. There needs to be enough bonds for one firm to sell and based on the CRAs account size of $20 million, it is her recommendation that Bank of America would be able to handle it quickly. Mr. Fenton did not agree with Ms. Turner's recommendation citing negative experiences that the Board has had with Bank of America such as a loan that the Board has with them on which the Bank of America was refusing to negotiate refinancing. Mr. Fenton clarified that the Board had been given insufficient information relative to the ability to refinance, prepay, etc. His preferences were First Southwest Company and Raymond James & Associates. Although Raymond James is a direct competitor of his, he feels that the large number of offices they occupy in Palm Beach County is an asset for the CRA. Also, being a Florida based company would be an asset. He pointed out that First Southwest Company's information looked very admirable in the way they conduct business and he would vote for either one of these firms. Mr. Tillman asked for Ms. Turner's reasons behind her recommendation. She stated that she favors them primarily because of the experience and qualifications of the professionals that would be working with the CRA. She works with these individuals on a daily basis and she can guarantee that they will provide everything they have to make sure that this financing is successful. In speaking with the Bank regarding the existing loan, she learned that the loan was based on taxable interest rates at the time it was entered into. The loan's rate looks very high now because interest rates are so Iow. This would be a good thing at the time the CRA takes out its new financing. However, if the bank were to break the existing 11 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 loan or to negotiate, it would be taking a loss. She cautioned the Board to recognize that the Bank is a business and is in business to make money - it has a duty to its shareholders to do so. The loan was entered into by way of contract. It was too late to say now that the CRA really didn't like that, because the CRA agreed to a provision that stated the CRA could not refinance. Chair Heavilin asked Julie to expound on the ideas that Bank of America stated that they might be able to do regarding fees or to restructure the existing bank loan. Ms. Turner stated that they ran several scenarios based on that. Currently, at best, it's a break even. The pre-payment penalty has been reduced by about $100,000 because interest rates have risen but then, on the other hand, interest rates have risen so a little is lost on that if it were refinanced. Right now it's a break even for both parties. Ms. Turner commented that First Southwest called her and asked to withdraw their proposal because they had submitted the proposal with an error in their numbers. At the time of the request, they emailed the new numbers to her, requested their proposal not be withdrawn if the new numbers could be included. Because she was not recommending them, she did not move forward with any changes. Ms. Turner reminded the Board that they would want someone who has the local retail presence who can sell your bonds to retail investors and get you the lowest interest rate, which you already know. Also, the experience that Bank of America demonstrated on their specific type of financing that the CRA would be doing stood out more than the other respondents, in her mind. They have done 61 financings totaling over $1.3 billion in the time period that she requested. She didn't think anyone else broke out the tax increment financings at that level. Motion Vice Chair Tillman moved to accept Ms. Turner's recommendation to select Bank of America as the underwriter for the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency's bonds. Mr. Barretta seconded the motion that passed 6-1 with Mr. Fenton dissenting. B. Consideration of CRA Amended 2004/2005 Budget. Mr. Hutchinson reminded the Board that the budget created at the budget workshop was, by statutory regulations, a temporary budget covered only by cash revenues. Because the bond and several other programs will be moving forward in December, Staff is asking for a budget amendment that includes bond revenues and a reduction in a possible office building purchase from $300,000 to $150,000. The remaining $150,000 would be held in Professional Services. Motion Ms. Horenburger moved for approval of the budget. Mr. Tillman seconded the motion that passed unanimously. 12 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 Ms. Payne read the resolution that amended the budget. The title is Resolution #04-03, a Resolution of the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency. Motion Ms. Horenburger moved to approve the budget amendment of Resolution #04-03. Mr. Tillman seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Chair Heavilin apologized to everyone that she had not introduced Commissioner Ensler, who was in attendance at the meeting. VII. Director's Report Mr. Hutchinson asked for clearer direction on the search for larger office space options for Staff. He discussed 3 potential properties - the Schnars building, the site next to Captain Frank's Seafood on Boynton Beach Boulevard, and Community Plaza. All three properties are available for lease or lease/purchase. He explained that before he can proceed to the next step with any one of these locations, he would need to know if the Board wants to purchase or be part of a multi-tenant option. A discussion ensued and Mr. Hutchinson was tasked with bringing back options on the Schnars building. Ed Breese, Principal Planner, provided an update on the colors in Corridors. Staff has held a couple of meetings on how to best proceed with paint colors on the major thoroughfares. The City Attorney will be meeting with Staff to review his research. Staff will present this information to the CRA and the Planning and Development Board. Once those Boards provide their approvals, it will be sent to the City Commission for adoption. Staff is also considering options to deal with properties that wish to change their paint scheme after approvals have been provided. Currently, they are only required to go through an administrative review. He clarified that Commissioner Ensler was approving site plans with the caveat that should they decide to change their color, they would need to go back before the Commission for color scheme approvals. All have agreed so far. Xl. Board Member Comments None. X. Commission Action None. XlI. Legal None. 13 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 XlII.

Mr. Hutchinson stated that this item is date certain and requires a quorum. The City Commission, the next night, will pass needed paperwork they need so that the bonds can be issued. He hoped the bonds could be issued before the interest rates started to fluctuate. G. Consideration of CRA Retreat (January) Consideration of Arches Project Site Plan and Incentive Amendment (TBD) Chair Heavilin reminded the Board that the CRA Annual Dinner would be held Friday, November 12th. There will be a guest speaker and a slide presentation of before and after pictures on projects the Board members have not yet seen. Staff is holding a Saturday workshop on November 13th to get the community engaged in the trolley system. The purpose of the workshop is to work out exactly where the trolley would stop (i.e. front of the block, mid block, etc.) It would also address advertisers and solicit people's ideas for a smooth rollout of this program. The meeting will be held at the Library from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The Board is not expected to attend. 14 Meeting Minutes Community Redevelopment Agency Boynton Beach, Florida November 9, 2004 XV.
