Firefighters across the country collect millions of dollars for MDA research through their
annual "boot drives." Mayor Taylor expressed the City's pride in and appreciation for its
firefighters.
The Proclamation was presented to Deputy Fire Chief Jim Ness, who expressed
appreciation for being recognized and commented on the commitment of the firefighters
to the community, a commitment that extended to off-duty hours when a lot of the
collection activities take place. Deputy Fire Chief Ness introduced Lt. Dean Kinser,
President of Local 1891 and a Boynton Beach firefighter.
Lt. Kinser announced that the current MDA drive would be kicked off on the Labor Day

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 16, 2005
Commissioner Ensler asked to add "for cause" in the phrase "members who have been
removed may not be reappointed for 36 months" on page 4. Vice Mayor McCray asked
for clarification of "for cause." City Attorney Cherof responded that this would be a
conclusion by the Commission when the individual is removed from the position that
there is a basis to believe that they were not fulfilling their responsibility under the
appointment. Vice Mayor McCray asked when this ordinance would be established after
second reading. City Attorney Cherof responded that the ordinance would become
effective immediately upon passage and the Commission would have to make the
appointments at the meeting following adoption of the ordinance. Commissioner Ensler
stated that this would be at the second meeting in September if it passed.
Motion
Commissioner Ensler moved to approve Proposed Ordinance No. 05-047. Vice Mayor
McCray seconded the motion.
Commissioner Ferguson took exception to some of the stipulations in this ordinance. He
believes that board members should be nominated by veterans' organizations or qualify
for membership as basic veterans. He was not in favor of the requirement that a
minimum of 6 regular board members must be members of a local chapter of listed
organizations. He also did not agree with the stipulation for nationwide organization
membership. He did not agree with the requirement that 6 members of the board must
reside in the City of Boynton Beach, believing that all members should reside in Boynton
Beach. He suggested changing the number of meetings that could be missed from more
than four meetings, as stipulated, to more than three meetings to be in line with the
other advisory boards. He was opposed to the issue of honorary membership.
Commissioner Ensler noted that at the last meeting, the Commission had decided to
relax the requirement on City residency for all boards, primarily to accommodate the
boards that could not fill their requirements from the residents of Boynton Beach. Mayor
Taylor agreed, but noted that it had not been formally changed yet. Mayor Taylor
thought that the local American Legion and VFW had many members not living in the
City of Boynton Beach and this was why the requirement for City reSidency had been
eliminated in the proposed ordinance. The other Commissioners were comfortable with
the ordinance as drafted, with Vice Mayor McCray only stating that preference should be
given to residents of Boynton Beach first.
The rule for other boards is automatic removal upon missing the 4th meeting. The
proposed ordinance would allow removal upon the 5th absence. This greater latitude was
suggested due to the advanced age of most of the veterans and the greater likelihood of
their being absent due to illness.
Commissioner Ensler commented that the first honorary members listed were Gold Star
mothers and fathers. He could not understand why anyone would object to their being
able to speak on this board as members. Current members of the Armed Forces could
not be present at all times but should be able to have a voice on the board. People with
3

August 16, 2005
Purple Hearts, the Ladies Auxiliaries, and former prisoners of war should be allowed to
speak as honorary members of this board also, he said.
Vote
Deputy City Clerk Pyle called the roll. The motion passed 4-1, Commissioner Ferguson
dissenting.
3. Approve the allocation of $5,000 of Community Investment Funds
from Commissioner Ensler for design work on a proposed
veteran's memorial. In addition, consider appropriating $30,000
to the CIP Fund for construction of a veteran's memorial.
Mayor Taylor remarked that even if approved, the CIP appropriation would not be for a
specific location, since that was yet to be decided.
Mayor Taylor opened the floor for the public to speak on this item.
Tom Kaiser, Public Affairs Director of the American Legion, 35 year member of
the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), and 20 year
member of the Disabled American Veterans, thanked Commissioner Ensler for
providing encouragement to the veterans and for the mutual cooperation between the
City and the veterans over the years. They had discussed putting up a memorial for the
veterans for many years and now, the City's Arts Council had initiated a call to artists for
various proposals for this memorial. Once the Veterans Commission is established, if
approved, they would evaluate the suggestions from the Arts Council and with the City's
concurrence, build the memorial. He thanked the City for considering this appropriation
since the veterans had been working on this by themselves for 15-18 years.
Bob Zimmerman, Chairman of the Veterans Council, thanked the City for its
interest in the Veteran's Advisory Commission and for the beautiful Intracoastal Park.
The Veterans Council represents the eight different military organizations in the area:
American Legion Posts 164 and 288, Disabled American Veterans 152, Jewish War
Veterans Post 440, Korean War Veterans Chapter 17, Veterans of Foreign Wars Posts
5335 and 10150, and Sons of the American Legion Post 164. Mr. Zimmerman's goal as
Commander of the VFW for eight years was to insert American flags over eight hundred
homes in Leisureville and at #3 Clubhouse to honor all male and female veterans who
served their country. That goal came to fruition and patriotism and Americanism are
highly visible all year long. He was looking forward to the beautiful new monument.
Karl Washington, spoke on behalf of American Legion Post 288, thanking the
City Commission for their concern and confidence in the Boynton Beach Veterans
Council.
Herb Schorr, representing Korean War Veterans Chapter 17, expressed thanks
for the City's support in all veterans' affairs. They hoped that other towns and
communities would follow suit.

August 16, 2005
Marvin Libensohn spoke on behalf of Jewish War Veterans Post 440, saying
that it would be a great honor for his Post to work with the City Commission to enhance
the City through the Veteran's Advisory Commission in Boynton Beach. He thanked the
City for this opportunity.
Jerry Weiss spoke as a representative of the Disabled American Veterans,
Chapter 152, and thanked the City for the opportunity to serve as advisors.
Dave Buckner, American Legion Post 164, thanked the City on behalf of his Post
and all veterans. They looked forward to working with the City.
Mr. Zimmerman declared that what the Veteran's Advisory Commission would be able to
do with and for the City of Boynton Beach would speak volumes. He made special
mention of Kurt Bressner as a supporter of the veterans.
Commissioner Ensler asked the Ladies Auxiliary members to stand to be recognized,
saying that their assistance was absolutely vital to the success of all the veterans'
organizations.
Motion
Commissioner Ensler moved to approve the allocation of $5,000 of Community
Investment Funds from his account for design work on a proposed veteran's memorial.
In addition, approve an appropriation of $30,000 to the CIP Fund for construction of a
veteran's memorial.
Commissioner Ferguson felt the items should be separated.
Commissioner Ensler amended the motion to be approval of an appropriation of $30,000
to the CIP Fund for the Eternal Flame Memorial.
Commissioner Ferguson expressed opposition to the expenditure of public funds for a
private purpose, believing that this could be done through private donations.
Commissioner McKoy seconded the motion for discussion.
Herb Suss asked to speak and was advised that it was not the appropriate time.
Commissioner McKoy referred to the amount of $30,000, asking if they had something
specific in mind at this time. Commissioner Ensler responded that an Eternal Flame
memorial had recently been built in Tamarac, sculpted out of aluminum and about 22
feet high, and they spent $31,000. It was just completed in the spring of this year. With
the $5,000 from Commissioner Ensler's Community Investment Funds and the $30,000
from the City, the expenditure would be equivalent to the amount of money spent by
Tamarac on a similar monument. Mayor Taylor noted that in the CIP Fund, they would
be approving up to $30,000.

August 16, 2005
Vice Mayor McCray asked about the yearly upkeep to keep the flame burning.
Commissioner Ensler commented that there would not be an actual flame. It was a
symbolic flame and could be in the form of electricity. In Tamarac, there are a few lights
that shine up on the statue, and light bulbs do not cost much.
Herb Suss, resident of Boynton Beach, stated that as a former Marine Corps
veteran, he was outraged at a Commissioner who objected to this expenditure of funds,
although it was his right to do so. Mayor Taylor stated that Commissioner Ferguson was
not objecting to the memorial, only the source of the funds. Mr. Suss felt that not
approving the $30,000 was an affront to the veterans. He commented on the pay raises
the Commission had voted for themselves.
Commissioner Ferguson raised a point of order, stating that he was a disabled American
veteran of the Korean War.
The motion passed 4-1, Commissioner Ferguson dissenting.
Motion
Commissioner Ensler moved to approve the allocation of $5,000 of Community
Investment Funds for design work on a proposed veteran's memorial. Commissioner
McKoy seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor McCray asked the City Attorney if the expenditure of the $5,000 from the
Community Investment Funds was in order. Attorney Cherof stated that it fell within the
criteria for the expenditure of discretionary funds. Vice Mayor McCray thanked
Commissioner Ensler for offering the $5,000 from his discretionary funds. The
Commission gave a lot to the youth and it was time to give to the veterans.
The motion passed 5-0.
4. Building Colors along Major Roadways (CORV 05-009)
Proposal to amend the Land Development Regulations,
Chapters, 4 and 9 to limit building colors, and require the
review/approval for changes to building colors for buildings
located along Boynton Beach Boulevard, Federal Highway, and
Congress Avenue. (Tabled to 8/16/05)
Motion
Vice Mayor McCray moved to remove Building Colors along Major Roadways, CDRV 05-
009, from the table. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the motion that passed 5-0.
Mike Rumpf, Planning & Zoning Director, discussed the proposed code amendments.
Initially, staff was asked to evaluate existing regulations and consider whether they had
sufficient authority to step in to control building colors when necessary. Staff originally
felt they had a system that was working and that this was handled at the staff level
and/or through the Planning & Development and CRA boards. At some point, the
direction seems to have changed and staff believed they were being asked to develop a
6

Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 16, 2005
comprehensive policy. Mr. Rumpf presented a very detailed analysis of color known as
the Munsell Color Classification System.
Planning & Zoning Director Rumpf and Attorney Cherof agreed that having a measurable
standard for color was necessary in terms of interpretation and enforcement. Mr. Rumpf
stated that having the Munsell System provided limits that were measurable and
defensible. The Commission seemed to want something less complicated and asked
whether an ordinance could be drafted that would address this without the necessity of
having such a system. Attorney Cherof responded that the problem with doing that was
that in the absence of an objective measurement system, the subjective language that
would have to be used in its place would defeat any real attempts at enforcement.
Without a measurable standard of reference, the developer, the City, and a judge may
not agree about what constitutes an acceptable color.
Some Commissioners expressed a preference for color guidelines on major roadways
but not for residential developments. Mayor Taylor felt that government needed to step
back and not get involved where it did not belong. Building colors for businesses were a
marketing matter and Mayor Taylor did not think the City should tie the hands of
businesses in that way. Vice Mayor McCray stated this was a free country and he did not
want to overstep the bounds of government by dictating colors.
The comment was made that this was usually handled at the staff level or at the CRA or
Planning & Development Board, and that most developers were willing to change colors
to which the board or staff expressed a strong aversion. Mr. Rumpf believed it would
only come into play in the "worst" case scenarios.
Basically, the Commissioners seemed to feel that the proposal represented "overkill."
Commissioner Ensler stated his original request was to come up with something that
gave staff "teeth" to turn down colors that did not belong in the City. The consensus
was that this could be done with something a lot simpler than what had been presented
at this meeting.
Motion
Vice Mayor McCray moved to deny the Building Colors Along Major Roadways (CDRV 05-
009) code amendment. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the motion.
The motion to deny passage of the Code amendments as requested passed 3-2,
Commissioners McKoy and Ensler dissenting.
IV. PUBLIC AUDIENCE:
Mayor Taylor opened the floor for the public to speak on items that were not on the
agenda.
Sr. Lorraine Ryan of the Woman's Circle, 145 N.E. 4th Avenue and Boynton
Beach Planned Approach to Community Health (PATCH), congratulated the City
and the CRA on a very productive joint meeting on July 18 where the audience was able
7

to participate and ask questions, for which they were grateful. She was confident that
the Commission was mindful of the ideas presented at that meeting and in the much
earlier meetings on the Heart of Boynton - specifically, the need for affordable housing.
Also, the residents expressed a definite preference for single-family homes over
condominium/apartment-style homes. She felt that since developers were already
active in the area, a serious dialogue had to take place between the City, the CRA, and
the Planning & Zoning Division and the developers to make certain that the Work Force
Housing ordinance is compulsory, and not left to the discretion of the developers. They
also wanted to see Section 108 of the HUD funding loan program implemented. The
definition of affordable was crucial -- $250K is not affordable. She believed that
someone needed to collaborate with the County Commissioners to avoid the NIMBY (Not
In My Back Yard) syndrome. Many were aware of a proposal for affordable housing out
west of Boynton Beach Woolbright Road in the County, which brought a lot of
complaints. Affordable housing is needed in all Commission districts.
Sr. Ryan declared that another strong desire that arose from the Heart of Boynton
meetings was the need for a community health center.
David Zimet, Boynton Beach Faith-Based CDC, 2191 North Seacrest
Boulevard, stated that the CRA was not purchasing properties as quickly as was
previewed, but he did not blame the CRA. One of the reasons was that the prices had
gone out of sight and people had been waiting for the time when they could "strike it
rich." People are now selling their houses to others who might not have the best
interests of the Heart of Boynton community residents or neighborhood in mind. They
were obtaining special kinds of mortgages that border on predatory practices. To
confront the situation, the CDC is organizing a workshop where people from the Fair
Housing Council, HUD, and the State Department of Financial Services will make
presentations concerning predatory lending and reverse mortgages. The meeting will be
on September 29, 2005 at St. John Missionary Baptist Church and flyers were
forthcoming.
Gertrude Sullivan, 201 N.E. 6th Avenue, Boynton Beach, president of the Boynton
Terrace Association, stated they appreciated what the City did when it took the projects
down. However, she implored the Commission not to allow townhouses to be built
there, if at all possible. They need and want single-family homes instead. Mayor Taylor
asked Ms. Sullivan the definition of townhouses, and Ms. Sullivan replied, the "Ocean
Breeze West" townhouses advertised on the sign in the vicinity of the projects. If the
CRA wanted to give money to developers, why not give it to young families to build
single-family detached homes instead. She felt that young people needed stable, single-
family residences and not to be "stacked on top of one another" in townhouses.
Don Roberts, 1301 North J Terrace, Lake Worth, stated he had been an employee
of the Parks Department for 16 years, was a Union steward, and part of the negotiating
team for the Blue Collar workers since the early 1990s. He had come to the conclusion
management did not want to negotiate a contract since the 20 hours they were given to
negotiate a contract before impasse was not enough to negotiate any contract. All of
the Parks employees are proud of the City of Boynton Beach and care for the parks as if

they were their own properties, but opening more parks, not hiring more employees,
and contracting custodial services out to subs was not the answer. The restrooms
cleaned by contracted firms are always dirty and he asserted the parks would be
unkempt as well. The City needs to be kept beautiful and the employees' morale needs
to be kept up because they are important.
Tina Smith, 15 Velaire Drive, Boynton Beach, indicated that she was an employee
of the City and her husband had been an employee for 18 years and was Chief Union
Steward. On May 4, this Commission approved distribution of the monies for safety
shoes/boots in 60 days'time. As of July 4, the employees had not received any money
for their boots/shoes. The money finally showed up on August 12, but two divisions
were left out. As soon as this was discovered, the employees were told they could wait
until the next paycheck. She felt this was typical of mistakes in payroll at the City and
showed a disregard for the employees. It hurts them also because they do take pride in
their service to the City's parks and utilities. They want to be appreciated and treated
with respect and dignity. They also wanted their contract to be finished. They are polite
and courteous to customers and get letters of commendation all the time, but never
receive recognition by the City Commission.
City Manager Bressner responded this was the first he had heard of the two divisions
being left out of the payment. The City would definitely cut checks. There was no reason
they should wait. He apologized, and said that was not the way the City wanted to
operate, and thanked Ms. Smith for bringing this to his attention.
Mike Osborne, Jr., 3712 Coelebs Avenue, Boynton Beach, stated he was also a
steward for the NCF&O Local 1227 Union. At the last Commission meeting he heard
about the vacancy in the Police Department. This made him recall that Utilities went
without a permanent director for almost 21 months.
In regard to the Blue Collar Union, the City had declared impasse. Before that, the
Union negotiating team had asked the City team to bring in a mediator, but this was
denied. Two weeks later, the City declared impasse.
Mr. Osborne spoke of what he saw as chronic understaffing in Utilities and observed the
water plant had been understaffed for three years. After three years of no hiring
activity, they were just now starting to see some movement. Although the department
heads could put in requisitions, it was up to the City Manager to approve them and get
them posted.
He recalled his remarks from the previous Commission meeting about overtime, saying
he hoped he had demonstrated there was no abuse of overtime in Utilities for on-call.
The only abuse was due to a lack of staff and scheduled overtime. Of the $212K of
overtime in Utilities, he thought that probably $180K was scheduled overtime due to the
lack of staff.
Mr. Osborne was also concerned with security at the water plants. He was not certain
whether the contract workers had received the same scrutiny (screening, testing,
9
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 16, 2005
background checks) as the regular employees. He alleged there were new unsupervised
contractors walking around with access to the City's water supplies.
Mr. Osborne expressed concern that the janitorial services and lawn maintenance had
been farmed out to non-City sources in recent years. He made the observation that the
City Hall offices were still served by the City's janitorial staff and he implied that the
reason for this was City Hall did not want to have people it could not trust clean its
buildings.
Mr. Osborne compared the resignation of Police Chief Gage to the current controversy
with the City Manager.
Herb Suss, City resident, stated he had asked to speak during the Colors item, but had
been asked to wait. Then, the Commission voted on the item without calling on him.
Mayor Taylor apologized, saying he had not seen him.
The Union's charge of unfair labor practices was dismissed by the State. Mr. Suss
referred to a letter from the City Manager that had satisfactorily answered his questions
from the last Commission meeting. He felt the City had the right to set the terms of
employment. Installation of GPS units on City trucks should not be a problem for anyone
who has nothing to hide and could even provide savings in time and fuel costs. He was
against the call back overtime issue, believing that if an employee worked for a half hour
on two successive callbacks, he/she should not be paid two to three hours of overtime.
The next time he makes a statement on something of this magnitude, he will get both
sides of the story.
Brother Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, Boynton Beach, spoke of the recent
passing of a City Commissioner in Miami and how this had led him to consider the kind
of character desired in public figures. He shared a poem he composed on the subject.
The poem appears in The Soirit Within Thee Awakened: A Collection of Poems and
Psalms Part 2, by Victor Darrell Norfus, Publishing Copyright 2005, NETCIS Publishing.
At the City Manager's request, the poem is included in the minutes in its entirety as
follows.
A Nation of Good Men, Poem #38
Few men today really understand what it takes to
make a good man and others don't seem to care.
A good man will never surrender to life; will never
give up on his love, wife, family or children or his community.
10
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 16, 2005
A good man will never depend upon others to do for
him what he can do for himself, a true provider.
A good man will not blame God or anyone else.
A good man will not blame nature for his circumstances of life.
A good man will go out and make conditions to suit him, his
family, and his community and not wallow in despair.
A good man has no master but God, and is his own
authority and sovereign lord of his house and his community (as
City Commissioners).
A good man is courageous and so bold that it is impossible to deter
him from the path of honor. (Mr. Norfus hoped that the Commissioners
would stay on that path.)
A good man must get to know God first, themselves second,
And other good men throughout their lives.
A nation of good men.
Mr. Norfus hoped that these thoughts would inspire the City Commissioners, and that
they would never stray, and always be good men and good Commissioners.
The Commissioners thanked Mr. Norfus for sharing this with them.
Mayor Taylor then closed the Public Audience when no one else came forward.
Vice Mayor McCray had listened to the Union representatives and he concurred with
them. He asked Mr. Bressner when the City would have a Human Resource Director,
someone who knew the rules and regulations. Vice Mayor McCray believes that having
this job filled might alleviate at least some problems.
Mr. Bressner responded that the City was doing background checks on an individual who
had Florida experience and it was almost concluded.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
August 16, 2005
Motion
Vice Mayor McCray moved to approve NWSP 05-025, Interstate Sign Crafters' request
for New Site Plan approval. Commissioner McKoy seconded the motion that passed 5-0.
E. Ratification of CRA Action:
2. Arches (MSPM 05-008) Request major site plan modification
approval for the construction of a large scale mixed-use project
consisting of 378 dwelling units and 38,500 square feet of retail
on 1::4.68 acres in the Mixed Use-High eMU-H) zoning district.
Mayor Taylor opened the floor to the public, and closed it when no one came forward to
speak.
City Attorney Cherof swore in the persons who would be speaking on the quasi-judicial
Consent Agenda items E-l and E-2. He then reviewed the quasi-judicial procedures.
City Attorney Cherof stated that since the site plan was being considered before the
rezoning, the site plan would contain an additional condition indicating that any approval
would be subject to approval of the rezoning. The Commission wanted assurance the
applicant acknowledged this and had no problem with it.
Bonnie Miskel, attorney for the applicant, said the applicant did acknowledge the
subject condition to the extent that the rezoning was required for the total density that
was before the Commission. If less density was ultimately constructed, the zoning issue
would no longer be needed.
Ms. Miskel summarized the changes from the original plan approved by the City
Commission. She offered to display a PowerPoint presentation following her summary, if
requested.
The primary difference between this site plan and the one the Commission originally
approved was the addition of three parcels. Subsequent to the original approval, her
client acquired the three parcels located on the northwest portion of the project,
squaring it of and making it a more cohesive site.
The previous plan provided for the retail along the major thoroughfares but also had
some interior space. The current plan eliminates the interior space from a marketing
perspective and locates the retail along the major frontages including S.E. 4th Street,
Ocean Avenue, and Federal Highway.
The trash removal room formerly located on Ocean Avenue had been relocated to a
place that would be less visible.
The retail originally provided for 167 parking spaces. They had increased that to 202
spaces. The location of those spaces was previously located on multiple floors of the
parking garage. They now have located 127 spaces on the first floor, which they think is

more desirable for patrons. The old plan only had 42 spaces on the first floor. The
parking garage was originally 7 levels and this one is 5 levels. They had expanded
surface garage parking and modified traffic patterns within the parking garage to make
them less tight and safer.
The new plan eliminated 20 spaces on the fifth floor to add additional landscaping. They
originally had two or three small public plazas and now have at least that many but had
more than doubled the main public plaza on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Federal
Highway.
They originally had a small fountain feature located on the extreme northeast corner of
the site. The fountain had now been expanded to make it more consistent with the size
of the public plaza it is serving and is approximately 18 feet by 18 feet. The fountain will
be a significant feature and now affords some seating, which was not previously
provided.
The new project adds 102 residential units, which equates to approximately $40M in
additional tax revenue. From an economic standpoint, this plan is a significant
improvement over the one previously approved.
The Commission agreed that they did not need to see the PowerPoint presentation.
Ms. Miskel thanked City staff for the extraordinary effort they had made to help them
get this project before the Commission. Staff's recommendations were very helpful and
the applicant was very thankful for the opportunity to work with staff on this project.
Mayor Taylor asked Ms. Miskel if the applicant was in agreement with the 81 conditions
of approval. Ms. Miskel said yes, as modified and approved at the CRA hearing. The
applicant also agreed to the additional condition making any approval contingent on the
approval of the yet-to-be-heard rezoning and abandonment items.
Commissioner Ensler asked for status on the rezoning. He thought it was important to
allow the developer to move ahead as soon as possible. Ms. Miskel said the item would
be heard by the CRA on August 30 and at the Commission's first meeting in September.
If approved at this meeting, it was her client's intention to start work immediately on the
permit plans.
Mr. Rumpf agreed that this was the case and that the items were the land use
amendment and rezoning package and the abandonments. They had been scheduled
as quickly as the advertising requirements would allow.
Motion
Commissioner Ensler moved to approve Consent Agenda Item E-2, the modified site
plan for the Arches project. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the motion. The motion
passed 5-0.

PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
41. Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding X
request to rezone from CBD to MU-H (LUAR 05-008). Indicate as such on
the site plan tabular data at the time of permitting. The MU-H zoning district
allows for up to 80 dwelling units per acre and the total number of allowable
units directly corresponds to the project acreage. Therefore, at the time of
permitting, revise the plans so that the number of units does not exceed the
maximum allowable density.
42. Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding X
request for a height exception (HTEX 05-006). Indicate as such on the site
plan tabular data at the time of permitting.
43. Approval of the site plan (as proposed) is contingent upon the successful X
abandonment (ABAN 05-004) of Southeast 1 sl A venue, and (ABAN 05-005)
Southeast 1 Sl Place. Staff does not support the sidewalk abandonment
(ABAN 05-006) which would reduce the project area by 0.221 acres, thereby
reducing the density by 18 dwelling units.
44. In addition to the current survey, submit an updated boundary survey showing X
the inclusion of Southeast 1 sl A venue into the boundaries of the subject
property. Staff will use this area in conjunction with the private lands to
confirm total project acreage, proposed density, and building setbacks. The
total project acreage should match the site plan tabular data. Provide the
break-down of project acreage for each area surveyed to confirm the total land
area as indicated in the site plan tabular data. The buildings can be setback
no further than 15 feet, unless a public gathering space (such as the one
proposed at northeast comer of the property) is provided.
45. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division determined that the proposed mixed-use X
project is located within the designated Boynton Beach Traffic Concurrency
Exception Area (TCEA), and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards
(TPS) of Palm Beach County. However, no building permits are to be issued by the
city after the build-out date (2010). The County traffic concurrency approval is
subiect to the Proiect Aggregation Rules set forth in the TPS Ordinance.
46. Because there are multiple lots, a unity of title will be required to join the lots X
together. A unit of title shall be executed prior to the issuance of a building
permit.

ofthe sixth floor deck cannot count towards the site plan's minimum pervious
area. Therefore, at the time of pennitting, the landscape plan's tabular data
shall indicate the exact locations from where the pervious surface statistics
were derived. The MU-H zoning districts requires that a minimum of 15% of
the site shall be of pervious surface (Chapter 2, Section 5.F.5).

SIgnS, including commercial wall SIgns, identification signs, residential
subdivision signs, freestanding monument signs, canopy signs, way-finding
signs, directional signs, and all other signs as regulated by Chapter 21 of the
Land Development Regulations.
59. The subject site is located along Palm Tran Bus Route 1. Staff recommends X
that the bus-stop be substantial and attractive, possibly constructed within the
build-to area of the subject property.
60. The landscape plan shows two (2) Royal Palm trees are proposed at the X
southeast corner of the property. Staff recommends installing tall growing
trees into the design of the public plazas at each corner of the subject
property. The trees should be of substantial size, in order to immediately help
break up the building mass. The proposed Royal palm trees (12 feet of gray
wood) are small in comparison with a 1 50-foot tall building.
61. At the time of pennitting, staff recommends incorporating benches into the X

Federal Highway - staff recommends "rounding" the opening so that it looks
more like an archway rather than a square tunnel. Also, decorative molding
and cornice work would really enhance its appearance. These same treatments
should be provided for SE 4th and SE 2nd as well.
63. Staff applauds the developer for proposing a fountain at the northeast comer X
of the property. However, the fountain on the landscape plan depicts it at the
very northeast comer of the parcel. It should be setback so as not to impact
the safe-sight triangle of Ocean A venue and Federal Highway as depicted on
the site plan. Provide detailed drawings of the fountain. Please correct all
plans accordingly.
64. Increase prommence of architectural banding components at vertical X
transitions of the project, or improve plan details to show compliance with
draft CRA Urban Design Guidelines (see Section 5, page 73 of document).
65. Staff recommends elimination of retail/residential loading #5, reconfiguration X
of back of house operations for "retail D", in order that retail loading #4 can
accommodate all of "retail D". Residential loading #6 can then handle
loading needs for building #2. This should enhance the SE 2nd Avenue
building elevations.
66. The site data provided on sheet A01 of 12 does not match that of the site plan X
sheet CE-3. Please verify correct numbers and revise all sheets accordingly.
67. Please provide written permission from BellSouth for the proposed X
construction around their existing in-ground facilities on the site and their
ability to maintain the facilities with your proposed design.
68. Improvements have been made to both the project and plan graphics to show X
compliance with the CRA's design guidelines; however, staff observes room
for continued improvement in the street-level portion of the project. Staff
continues to provide the applicant with the option of providing more
architectural elements to articulate the street level facade, or additional
graphics or plan details to show compliance with the design guidelines.
Additional elements would involve accentuation of the walkway covering,
presence of arcades or similar features, and plinth, tiles or equivalent details.
Staff recommends utilizing awning colors that are more in keeping with the
shades of blue / teal that are characteristic throughout the city's public works
projects.
69. CRA staff recommends the reduction in the size of the public plaza at Ocean X
A venue and Federal Highway for proper scale with proposed and
recommended additions and activity potential.
70. CRA staff recommends that an interactive fountain be used in the public X

access.
74. CRA staff recommends that the entrance to the motor court at Federal X

such as office or retail. If however, the project is approved without this
condition, the garage openings at all levels of the 4th Street frontage shall have
metal trellis with bougainvillea or an equivalent species.
76. CRA staff recommends that water features be added at the following corners X
to enhance the pedestrian environment:
Southeast 2nd Avenue and Federal Highway
Southeast 2nd Avenue and Southeast 4th Street
Southeast 4th Street and East Ocean Avenue
77. On the site plan, CRA staff notes the lack in clarity regarding patron access X

The Arches at Boynton Beach
Height Exception
Boynton Ventures I, LLC (the "Petitioner"), in conjunction with a proposed mixed-use
(retail and condominium) project within the City of Boynton Beach downtown area is requesting
an exception from Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5 pertaining to building height.
The property is located at the northwest comer of Ocean Avenue and Federal Highway,
and comprises two city blocks (Block 7 and 12 of the original Town of Boynton Florida plat)
between Ocean Avenue and SE 2nd A venue (the "Property"), within the Community
Redevelopment Area. The general use and zoning pattern in the area can be described as
follows:

Section 4.F of the City's Zoning Code ("Code") provides for height limitations and
exceptions. Electrical and mechanical support systems, as well as parapets and similar structures
may be erected on top of a structure, above the district height limitations with City Commission
approval. The Mixed Use-High ("MU-H") zoning district limits heights along arterial roadways,
such as Federal Highway, to 150 feet.
The Petitioner is seeking a height exception that would allow a proposed mixed-use
project to exceed the aforementioned provisions. The Petitioner is proposing fourteen residential
floors, above a floor of ground level retail/commercial uses, for a total of fifteen (15) stories or
150' roofline. The proposed project is within the CRA. The City's Code provides for a height of
150' for mixed use projects zoned with the MU-H district to provide intensities within the
downtown area that will provide synergy between uses and enhance economic viability of
downtown businesses. Height exceptions for rooftop mechanical equipment, parapets and
similar structures are permissible, subject to City Commission approval. The Petitioner is
requesting an exception of (up to) 17' for a total of 167' maximum height to accommodate

rooftop mechanical equipment, elevator shafts, stairwells and roof profiles on the proposed tower
buildings.
As discussed below, approval of the height exception will adhere to the standards set
forth in Section 4.F of the Code. The Petitioner will demonstrate that the height exception:
.
Will not have adverse effect on surrounding land uses;
Is necessary;
Will not severely reduce light and air in adj acent areas;
Will not be a deterrent to the redevelopment of adjacent properties;
Will not adversely affect property values;
Will not adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood;
Will not constitute a grant of special privilege; and
Is needed for the proposed redevelopment project.

land uses.
Whether the height exception will have an adverse effect on the existing and proposed
The proposed Arches at Boynton Beach project is located within the City's downtown
and CRA. A general objective of the CRA is to create a critical mass of upscale development that
establishes a pedestrian environment and promotes the local economy. The MU-H zoning
district is applicable only within the downtown area. This district provides for buildings to attain
150' in height. The requested exception is not applicable to the entire building. Roof-mounted
equipment located within the central portions of the tower elements extend approximately 17'
above the roofline. Roof profiles on the glass tower elements extend approximately 5'8" above
the roofline. The centralized location of the equipment, as well as the shielding that will be
provided by the roof profiles, will prevent it from being obvious from adjacent properties, which
are lower in height than The Arches. The requested 17' exception will not have an adverse effect
on existing or proposed land uses.
(2) Whether the height exception is necessary. .
Conformance with the height provisions would limit the size of the mixed-use project,
require the ground floor of retail to be lowered from just under 15' to 9', and would require a
floor of condominium units to be eliminated from the redevelopment plans. The downtown area
allows high-rise structures in order allow densities and intensities designed to create synergy
between permitted uses. In order to promote quality redevelopment, The Arches at Boynton
Beach proposes a 15th floor, containing 26 condominium units. The requested height is
necessary to accommodate the units necessary to allow an economically feasible and well-
balanced redevelopment project, while providing pedestrian-oriented amenities (plaza) on the
ground level.

(3) Whether the height exception will severely reduce light and air in adjacent areas.
The proposed exception of IT will not affect adjacent properties. The mechanical
equipment, elevator shafts and stairwells ("equipment areas") are centralized on the rooftop. The
subject equipment areas comprise approximately 2,600 s.f. of the roof area, which is just over
1 % of the total site. The equipment areas are setback 40' from Ocean A venue and SE 2nd
Avenue, 31 '6" from Federal Highway, and 44' from SE 4th Street. In addition to the location of
the equipment areas, the roof profiles on the glass tower elements (parapet), which extend 5'8"
above the top of roof, will also shield the equipment areas from viewpoints.
The requested building height exception will not create shadows or affect air circulation
in a manner that negatively impacts adjacent properties.
(4) Whether the height exception will be a deterrent to the improvement or development
of adjacent property in accord with existing regulations.
The requested height exception does not affect or impact the redevelopment potential of
adjacent properties. The requested exception (up to IT) will not be injurious to the
surrounding properties or public welfare. The proposed height is compatible with the building
heights envisioned for the downtown redevelopment area.
(5) Whether the height exception will adversely affect property values in adjacent areas.
The requested height of the equipment areas and roof profiles will not adversely affect
property values. Rather, The Arches at Boynton Beach redevelopment project will have a
positive impact on property values in the area. This project along with other redevelopment
efforts in the immediate area may spur other property owners to redevelop their parcels with
structures and uses that are more consistent with the downtown vision the City has established
for this portion of the Federal Highway corridor.
(6) Whether the height exception will constitute a grant of a special privilege to an
individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
The requested building height is not applicable to lands outside the downtown
redevelopment area, and therefore is peculiar to the Property. The proposed IS-story structure is
consistent with another mixed-use project in the downtown area that is currently under
construction (which has been granted a similar exception greater than 1 Tin height). The
exception (up to IT) will not impact other properties and is consistent with the public welfare.

(7) Whether sufficient evidence has been presented to justifY the need for a height
exception.
The requested height exception is in keeping with the spirit of the height provisions for
mixed use, high density projects in the downtown area, and is permissible pursuant to Section
4.F.
The requested building height will accommodate 378 residential units, and
commercial/retail uses, in the City's Downtown area. The Property is conveniently located in
proximity to Downtown businesses and employers; and the proposed project introduces new
residents into the City's Downtown to foster patronage of its businesses and additional economic
support for the redevelopment area.
Therefore, the requested Height Exception is consistent with the criteria contained
