Walesky, Director, Department of Environmental Resources Management Steven G. Snyder, P.E., Registered Engineer Heidi Juhl, Assistant County Attorney Chairman Goldman introduced Don Johnson, Deputy Building Official who stated the purpose of the meeting was to re-examine the Application presented to the Board. Mr. Johnson will be introducing additional information and facts and stated for the benefit of those members who were present at the March 26, 1998 that the Applicant was requesting relief from Section 401.2.2 and Table 407 of the Standard Plumbing Code, 1994 Edition. The request for relief from Section 401.2.2 and Table 407 of the Standard Plumbing Code, 1994 Edition in the Webster’s New World Dictionary defines “premises as a piece of real estate.” Section 401.2.2 requires that “ “…all buildings, structures and premises intended for human occupancy or use shall be provided with adequate sanitary facilities as may be required, but not less than one water closet and one hand washing lavatory” 2 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 Mr. Johnson stated that Table 407 determines the amount of facilities that are required for water closets and lavatories and for the proper plumbing fixtures for a building or occupancy. This Table requires that a restroom be required for both males and females for a public building. Each restroom shall have one water closet and one lavatory. There shall also be one drinking fountain available for the public. Mr. Johnson referred Members to the Code Sections in their packets and the Table. Mr. Johnson also made reference to footnote 6 which is referenced under Table 407 and stated it is not applicable to this building because it is a building of public use. Mr. Johnson stated that the Applicant is seeking complete relief from this requirement and does not want to install any sanitary facilities at the site. Chairman Goldman thanked Mr. Johnson for his presentation and asked the representative of Palm Beach County to make his presentation. Richard E. Walesky, Director of Environmental Resources Management for Palm Beach County took the podium and introduced himself, Attorney Juhl and Mr. Snyder to the Board and thanked the Board for allowing the County to re-present their case. Mr. Walesky presented a brief background on the Seacrest Scrub site and stated the Scrub was purchased by the 1991 Bond Issue for Environmental Sensitive Lands. A $100,000,000 bond issue was created by a vote of the public to purchase these types of lands and have been set aside for conservation purchases and are not a park. This is a method used in distinguishing these types of lands from other lands. These properties are being managed for their biological and intrinsic values and secondarily for some passive recreational opportunities. The facilities on these sites are minimal and all that is being offered is a very small parking lot, together with an educational kiosk. A handicap access is also being offered, which will include a 1,000’ concrete pathway for everyone’s use. A series of trails have been created to be consistent with management roads. The site is a fire-maintained system. The area has been sectioned off in four zones and will be managed by controlled burning. Mr. Walesky referred to the handouts presented to the Members. The handout marked #1 deals with the partnership agreements between the City and the County and deals with the management plan of the site that was entered into over five years ago. The plan further states the uses of the site and Mr. Walesky referred Members to the highlighted areas of the agreement, which state the area is managed solely for conservation, protection and enhancement of natural and historical resources and for passive natural resource based outdoor recreation. 3 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 The agreement further sets out the types of improvements to be built on the site, some of which are fencing, a parking area, and foot trails, appropriate for passive use. Mr. Walesky asked Members to continue to refer to the highlighted areas of the agreement. Facilities may include walking and interpretive trails, educational displays, parking facilities, fencing, gates and signage. Referring to page 6, Mr. Walesky stated that the City has agreed to long-term maintenance of the site, including garbage pick-up, police services, regular mowing and other items. Mr. Walesky stated he felt there has been a great deal of municipal involvement in this site and a lot of work has been done to date. A NAMAC committee has been established to review these types of projects. Mr. Walesky presented a press release that was displayed at the Boynton Beach City Hall for ten days prior to a public hearing held at City Hall to discuss the management agreement, the facilities and the public needs. Members were referred to documents 1E and 1F in their handouts. Mr. Walesky stressed that the entire reasoning behind all these handouts is to establish a long five-year process was involved on planning the site with City staff. Also, Mr. Walesky stated that elected City officials approved these plans, knowing what the facilities were and that in all these documents and plans, there is not one mention of bathroom facilities. Referring to Item #2 in the handouts, Mr. Walesky stated this is proof of the City of Boynton Beach’s approval of the site plan. Members were referred to the chronology of events in this packet. Referring to item 2A dated December 20, 1996, this is the first set of questions received by the County on the site plan. Mr. Walesky stated there were thirty detailed questions, but there was no questions related to bathrooms. Item 2D is the County’s response to item 2A, which is very detailed. Mr. Walesky stated that item 2C is the City’s approval of the building application and stated the County relied on the application in good faith, as an approved site plan. The County then issued a formal bid notice and the Board of County Commissioners approved a set of construction plans. A vendor was selected and the vendor was authorized to proceed. When the County returned to the City for a building permit to be issued from the approved application, a new set of questions was presented to the County at that time (item 2D). Mr. Walesky stated there was still no reference to bathrooms; 2E is the County’s response to item 2D; and Item 2F is the building permit issued by the City. Mr. Walesky referenced the second page of the building permit is the Xerox of one of the plans previously submitted and referenced the highlighted area which states “separate permit required for bathroom facilities.” Mr. Walesky thought that since the County never applied for a bathroom it made sense that it was not approved. The County verbally heard from the City that this was an issue and that the issue of bathrooms is going to have to be addressed. 4 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 Mr. Walesky stated the packet the County was furnishing is intended to make several points and throughout this entire process there were many questions and answers addressed. The application approval was received over one year ago and the County relied on this approval to move forward with the bid process. The County has invested a great deal of time and money in this effort and the only mention of a bathroom was an obscure note on one set of drawings that led the County to believe there was a problem with the bathroom. Mr. Walesky stated that the County feels City staff has erred in two areas. Once the building application was approved, that should have been the basis for the final issuance of the building permit. Secondly, attachment #3 contained a highlighted statement that says – “…all buildings, structures and premises intended for human occupancy or use shall be provided with…” Mr. Walesky stated the definition does not include raw land. Page 4 of attachment #3 defines premises as “…a tract of land with the buildings thereon: or building or part of a building usu. with its grounds or other appurtenances” Mr. Walesky stated that it makes sense to include the land with the building in order that pipes can be installed to a building, you have to consider the land surrounding the building. Referring to attachment #4, Mr. Walesky stated this is a list of the parks in the City of Boynton Beach. It was forwarded to him by a citizen of Boynton Beach that highlights the parks that are more active within the City, but do not have restroom facilities. Item #5 was referenced by Mr. Walesky which refers to a memorandum dated February 12, 1996 prepared by him to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners when policies were being established for bathroom facilities on conservation lands, not parks. This Board was referred to the factors that were considered at that time and are listed on page 2 of Item #5. Mr. Walesky stated that public policy has already been established. The Board of County Commissioners has approved five sites to date. The larger, more rural sites will likely have restroom type facilities. The Royal Palm Pines site is 750 acres and the Jupiter Ridge site is 271 acres. The Boynton Beach site is a 53-acre site. Also, portable toilets were installed at these larger sites. The cost of installing the minimum facilities at Seacrest Scrub was estimated at $98,000. The cost 5 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 of a bathroom will double the price. If this sets a new precedent and there are approximately 15-16 sites in the County, adding $100,000 to each site, this will cost a significant amount of money. Mr. Walesky further stated that this is unsecured land, except for a gate to keep autos from driving onto the land. Anyone can come onto the land, twenty-four hours a day. This can attract vandals and loitering. There was at one time a large amount of homeless people on this site and the City moved the homeless out of the area. The County feels when you put running water in a restroom facility it will attract this type of homeless person. Lastly, Mr. Walesky stated that bathrooms are not needed. Most people entering the area will stay on the one-fifth of a mile trail only. With regard to furnishing a drinking fountain, Mr. Walesky stated that canteens should suffice, since this is a wilderness experience for most entering the area. Concerning the needs of the children, Mr. Walesky presented a letter from St. Joseph’s Episcopal School requesting that bathrooms not be installed in the area. Regarding busing in students, it is felt that Seacrest Scrub probably would not be a final destination and the children would probably be going to other areas, stopping off at this area for a 15-minute experience. It will become a tourist stop, linked to many other stops. To sum up his presentation, Mr. Walesky stated that the bathrooms are not needed, they are against public policy for conservation lands and are not required by the code. Chairman Goldman thanked Mr. Walesky for his presentation and made the following comments. With regard to the element of surprise stating how long the process has taken place and some obscure stamp appearing on a plan, Mr. Goldman stated that Mr. Walesky was aware that when plans are processed they go through a great deal of procedures. An inspector can go to the site and problems can develop at any time. This is quite a common occurrence. Chairman Goldman stated that the issues are people and bathrooms and that the area is a public accommodation, which will have trails, parking lots, AT compatible, fences, and overall the public will use the area. With all these amenities being placed on the property, it should be no surprise that a bathroom will be needed. Mr. Johnson, Deputy Building Official agreed with Chairman Goldman’s comment that Mr. Walesky should not have been surprised that when a permit is issued, there is a disclaimer that states applicant must get approval from every other jurisdiction, 6 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 municipality, etc. for the various permits. With regard to Item 2A submitted by Mr. Walesky regarding the December 20, 1996 TRC memorandum from Tambri Hayden, Planning and Zoning Director and referring the Board to item 27 on the memorandum it states: “The content of the plans are subject to compliance with all applicable city code of ordinances. It is the applicant’s responsibility to show compliance. “ Item 30 on said memorandum states: “All plans submitted for specific permits shall meet the City’s code requirements at time of application…” Referencing the last paragraph of the memorandum, it states; “The instructions and comments herein should be followed or incorporated into your plans and submitted to the Building Department to initiate the permit review process”. Mr. Johnson stated that the Building Department is not against Mr. Walesky’s proposal, but have to enforce the code. Mr. Johnson stated that when Mr. Snyder appeared at the March 26 meeting he checked the Southern Building Code and determined that the City' s definition was correct in their interpretation. Again, Mr. Johnson stated the City Building Department was not against the County’s request, but have to apply the applicable section of the code. Mr. Johnson further stated that the Building Division tried to work with the County when it saw that the plan did not include a bathroom facility. At that point, the Building Division stamped the note on the plan to allow the County to get their permit so that construction could begin. The City wants this project to succeed and that was the reason for the note. Chairman Goldman restated his opinion that there should be no element of surprise because these types of situations occur all the time. Chairman Goldman stated that the Building Department has to follow the code and this Board, is a quasi-legal board established by the City, and the purpose of this Board is to provide relief. By this Board providing relief, it allows the Building Department to do their job, without having to waive certain aspects of a project. Vice Chairman Kurtz stated he felt the meeting was getting off the issue in interpretations of codes. The issue is the County is appearing before this Board for 7 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 relief from the codes, because the County does not feel they have to comply in this case and that is the issue at hand. Mr. Abdallah asked if there would be any liability if persons used the area to relieve themselves? Would the police be called in this type of situation as a nuisance has been created, or if someone were to become sick, who would be liable? Would the City or the County be liable? Mr. Walesky stated that the City of Boynton Beach is the manager of the property, which means the City provides police and fire protection. If a violation of law occurs, it is the City’s responsibility to handle it. If there was an accident with true liability, the County owns the property and the County would be liable. Mr. Sternbach asked what the definition of park versus natural conservation and was informed the area in question was natural conservation. Mr. Sternbach presented the scenario of any young female in need of bathroom facilities while in the area and is told that there is a bathroom one-quarter mile down the road that causes stress to the young female. How do you address this type of situation! Mr. Sternbach stressed that people need bathrooms. Discussion ensued regarding how to address these types of situation. Mr. Abdallah inquired what was meant by “temporary bathroom”? Mr. Walesky stated they are portalets that are provided at larger sites by the County and that portalets would be better suited for this area. Cost wise they are inexpensive and maintenance free. The cost to the county is $1200 a year for portalets versus $100,000 for restrooms, which have to be maintained and cleaned. Mr. Mulroy stated that it was up to this Board to come up with a recommendation. Motion Mr. Mulroy made a motion to grant relief to the Petitioner from the plumbing code. Vice Chair Kurtz seconded the motion. Chairman Goldman opened the floor for discussion. It was further stated that the majority of the audience do not want these facilities at the Seacrest Scrub and this situation has occurred with other parks within the City limits of Boynton Beach, some of which are more used than this facility and relief from this requirement was granted. Also, If the County does not want to build the facility, the 8 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 City as a partner will have to build the facility. If the park gets so much use and the need arises for this facility, some one will have to put the facility in. Vice Chair Kurtz stated that there was no need for these facilities, as the Seacrest Scrub is located in the middle of the City on Seacrest Avenue. There is the Episcopal School across the street, the Seacrest pool within walking distance and that any emergencies could be handled. Mr. Sternbach stated we would be going back to the “gas station syndrome”. Mr. Kurtz stated that he didn’t feel this situation applied. Mr. Bessell noted that one of the handouts provided states that the City will be responsible for opening and closing the facility. Mr. Bessell also referred to an interoffice memorandum from Mr. Walesky which says that the typical visitor experience would include 15 minutes in the parking lot looking at the kiosk, 30 to 45 minutes walking the 1,000 foot nature trail, for a total time of one hour. Also you have to include the time coming to and from the facility. Mr. Bessell stated he could not support the motion unless there is a facility closer to the area inasmuch as the closest bathroom is one-half mile away. Mr. Abdallah made the suggestion that one or two portalets be placed in the area for emergency situations. Attorney Pawelczyk advised the Board that he was not sure whether Mr. Walesky has completed presenting his case. If not, he has to be given the opportunity to call witnesses. Even though a motion was placed before the Board and seconded, Mr. Walesky still has to be afforded the opportunity to present his witnesses. Mr. Walesky had approximately 6 witnesses who wished to speak. Chairman Goldman requested that each person testifying limit their time to 3 minutes each. Vice Chair Kurtz at this point requested that it be recorded in the minutes that he objects to this action . Vice Chair Kurtz further stated there is a motion on floor that was recognized by the Chairman, the motion was seconded, and the motion was opened up for discussion by the Board and therefore the time for witnesses is over. Also, Mr. Kurtz requested that he go on record that he disagrees with Attorney Pawelczyk’s interpretation of these proceedings. Attorney Pawelczyk stated that for the record, this Board has to afford due process to the applicants and in doing so, we may have to stride a little bit from “Robert’s Rules” as in this case, because the motion was made prematurely. 9 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 The first witness took the podium. th Mike Fitzpatrick, 101 SW 4 Avenue, Boynton Beach, Florida. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that he is a four-year member of the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board for the City of Boynton Beach. Looking at Boynton Lakes versus Meadows Park, Meadows Park has a bathroom. When Boynton Lakes was built, it was scheduled to have a bathroom also, but the residents did not want it, so therefore none was built. Also, with regard to Forest Park, that Park does not have restroom facilities. Kids Kingdom which was built two years ago and which was intended to have a bathroom still does not have a bathroom to date. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that at least 1,000 children visit Kid’s Kingdom weekly. He also stated that at the next Parks and Recreation Board meeting he plans to present a resolution to that Board to support not having bathroom facilities installed in the Seacrest Scrub. Stella Rossi, Chair of the Coalition for Wilderness Islands. Ms. Rossi stated that this group was formed in 1983 to set aside wilderness areas. Ms. Rossi further stated that there are only small portions of wilderness areas left and the reason for the name of our coalition is because these areas are surrounded by development. Ms. Rossi thanked the Board for letting her speak and stated that since 1983 they attend all meetings on the Management Plan in the County. Ms. Rossi stated that she had taken kindergarten classes to Seacrest Scrub and never was approached by any child in need of a restroom. The most children seem to stay is approximately 30 to 45 minutes. The Scrub area is intended for scientific research, bird watching, and photography or simply to walk into the woods for enjoyment. This is one of the last remaining sites in Palm Beach County and the plans for the area were approved by the Board of County Commissioners without bathrooms and we ask for relief from section 401.2.2. Ms. Rossi thanked the Board for letting her speak. th Mark Behar, 298 NW 11 Street, Boca Raton, Florida. Mr. Behar stated he has been attending these types of meetings for the past three years. Mr. Behar stated he felt that this was a new area for the City of Boynton Beach and that there are no precedents for development of these areas. He further stated that the County’s passing of the $100,000,000 bond issue was for the specific purpose to preserve natural areas and not to accommodate the public first. The first and foremost reason was to preserve the echo system and then accommodate the public without harming the echo system. Mr. Behar stated that bathrooms do not fit the criteria and that bathrooms would encourage loitering plus the great cost of installing and maintaining the facilities was not justified. 10 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 th Fred Cichocki, 750 NW 6 Drive, Boca Raton, Florida. Mr. Cichocki stated that the purpose of preserving these lands was for the preservation of native Florida history and natural history for posterity and the intent of creating these areas was to have the lowest impact as possible on the site. Mr. Cichocki stated he was in agreement with everything that has been presented and Seacrest Scrub should be considered as a special case and felt the $100,000 could be better spent to maintain the property for several years. Mr. Cichocki thanked the Board for letting him appear before them this evening and asked them to reconsider their order to install bathroom facilities on the site. Rosa Durando, 10308 Heritage Farms, Lake Worth, Florida. Ms. Durando stated that she has been working for environmental issues for over thirty years and is a member of the Environmentally Sensitive Land Acquisition Selection Committee. Ms. Durando stated that bathroom facilities would encourage vandalism and there would be a constant need for repairs. Also, Ms. Durando stated that portalets would not be appropriate for the Scrub, as they would be placed almost on the sidewalk. Grace Iverson, 8818 SE Sharon Street, Hobe Sound, Florida. Ms. Iverson stated that the point to creating areas like Seacrest Scrub is to afford residents the opportunity to enjoy these types of wild spots into the future. Ms. Iverson stated the idea is to keep living history alive and referred to the area in Boca Raton between the railway and I-95. These areas are intended to be preserves of natural history, a monument to the next generations and are a rim of the Everglades. The area is unique to certain native birds including the Florida Scrub Jay. Enrico Rossi, 625 Whispering Pines Road, Boynton Beach, Florida. Mr. Rossi stated this land is located close to his residence and that the entire issue revolves around one word which is the definition of “premises”. Mr. Rossi stated that the premises definition of is “buildings and land”, which was obtained from the Webster’s Dictionary. Chairman Goldman asked Attorney Pawelczyk for his interpretation of the definition of “premises” presented tonight before the Board. Attorney Pawelczyk stated that the building officials made the determination of the definition and feels that the appeal is of that determination. Chairman Goldman asked Attorney Pawelczyk what this Board is supposed to determine what the definition is? Attorney Pawelczyk informed Chairman Goldman that the Board has to determine whether the County is entitled to relief. 11 MINUTES BUILDING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT AND APPEALS BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 22, 1998 Chairman Goldman thanked all those who testified. Chairman Goldman stated that he heard five issues and restated those issues and if you are going to have a natural preserve maintained, with trails, parking lots, pathways and fences placed on the area that meet ATA standards, it becomes more than a natural preserve. Mr. Mulroy stated that a motion was made and it was seconded. There has been discussion and it is now time for a vote on the motion. Chairman Goldman asked for those in favor of the motion to say “aye” and those against the motion say “nay”. The Recording Secretary called a roll of the vote on Mr. Mulroy’s motion. Mr. Mulroy Aye Mr. Bessell Nay Vice Chair Kurtz Aye Mr. Sternbach Nay Mr. Abdallah Aye Chairman Goldman Nay All members having voted, the motion does not pass. The vote was tied with 3 ayes and 3 nays. Attorney Pawelczyk stated that another motion must be made to determine why the motion did not pass. Chairman Goldman asked if there were any additional comments. Chairman Goldman stated that the matter should now be reheard before the full Board. Motion Vice Chair Kurtz made a motion that this Board grant relief in accordance with Mr. Mulroy’s motion by having the County and/or City provide on site portable toilet facilities. Mr. Abdallah seconded the motion. Chairman Goldman asked if there was any discussion. There being none, the Recording Secretary called a roll of the vote Mulroy Aye Bessell Nay Vice Chair Kurtz Aye Sternbach Nay Mr. Abdallah Aye Chairman Goldman Nay All members having voted, the motion does not pass.
