Imagine Charter School at Boynton Beach
Height Exception Request
Justification Statement
March 16,2009
A). Whether the height exception will have adverse effect on the existing and proposed land
uses.
The proposed architectural tower features requiring the height exception are located on
the east and west sides of the building. These structural features are required for aesthetic
purposes and are a small portion of the building roof structure. The height exception will
not have an adverse effect on the existing land use. We anticipate this project to have
a positive influence on the City and be considered an example for new development.
B). Whether the height exception is necessary.
The height exception is necessary to make the building aesthetically pleasing and create
a Key West style feel. The tower features break up the architectural facade and provide
character to the building.
C). Whether the height will severely reduce light and air in adjacent areas.
The building layout is in an "H" format which provides windows and light into all portions
of the building and creates courtyard areas that can be used for playground and
gathering space. These building features will not reduce light or air for the subject site and
adjacent areas.
D). Whether the height exception will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of
adjacent properly in accord with existing regulations.
The property to the south is undeveloped and in the process of changing the land use to
Industrial and zoning to M-1. To the west is undeveloped and part of High Ridge Country
Club. To the north is scattered single family homes and to the east is the right of way for
High Ridge Road and single family homes and townhomes. The proposed building is
centrally located within the site and thus the height exception will have no impact on the
surrounding properties.
E). Whether the height exception will adversely affect properly values in adjacent areas.,
We believe that the proposed Imagine Charter school project will enhance property
values in the area by utilizing the R-2 zoning district development standards. Again, the
height exception is only to make it more aesthetically pleasing. The height exception will
not affect property values and will only increase the value of their property by having a
school nearby.

F). Whether the height exception will adversely influence living conditions in the
neighborhood.
The proposed Imagine Charter school will enhance the living conditions in the
neighborhood. Residents could have the opportunity to send their children to this school.
The requested height exception is to accommodate a structural building requirement and
will not adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood.
G). Whether the height exception will constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual
owner as contrasted with the public welfare.
Other property owners have the same right to utilize this section of the code as the
applicant for the Imagine Charter School. Each height exception request is reviewed and
evaluated on its own merits. The requested height exception for Imagine Charter School
will not grant a special privilege.
H). Whether sufficient evidence has been presented to justify the need for a height exception.
A site plan application and re-zoning application for the charter school has been
submitted for review by City staff. Included in the site plan package are architectural
elevations and floor plans illustrating the proposed building. including the architectural
tower features that require the height exception. We believe that these features improve
the overall look at the building and project and that the above standards are justified.
