PRESENTATIONS
Review of plans for Boynton Park of Commerce development -
Deutsch-Ireland
Mr. John Moyle, an Attorney representing the Boynton Beach Park
of Commerce and its owner, Deutsch-Ireland Properties, came
before the Council and said they-are here to explain the plans,
the Park's future and the development activities. He introduced
company personnel who were present. He said the amendment to the
master site development plan, which has been filed with the City
staff, represents refinement more than changes to the plan pre-
viously approved by the City Council. A drawing was shown iden-
tifying the preserve and city park areas, the reshaping of parcel

sizes and the reorienting of various parcels. Development
will be accomplished in a single phase in a 10 to 12 year period
rather than the multiple phases which were presented before.
Reconfiguration is shown for some of the roads and waterways.
Mr. Moyle pointed out a land swap area and said meetings have
been held with City staff, and a specific proposal should be pre-
sented to the City Council in the next few weeks. After the land
swap is completed and approved, he said they will seek a rezoning
to PCD on the traded property.
The interchange at 1-95 and N.W. 22nd Avenue has been approved by
the Metropolitan Planning Organization and various local agencies
and is pending in Tallahassee. Mr. Moyle said he recently met
with the Governor and.other State officials, attempting to direct
some attention to this issue and helping it gain a high priority
treatment with the Florida Department of Transportation.
Engineers have been engaged for the entire project and for the
interchange, and their work is presently under way.
Mr. Ed Deutsch, owner and President of Deutsch-Ireland
Properties, told the Council all of their offices will be moved
to this area, and their employees will be relocating to Palm
Beach County as well. He said a lot of water areas have been
added to their development plan, and crossings of the lakes and
waterways are being created with high bridges of wood and stone.
All of the traffic ways will be of wood and stone, with a
country-type of look. The feeling to be created at these
crossings will be of a Colorado mountain stream; large boulders
will be utilized and there will be 10-foot waterfalls.
A 40,000 to 50,000 square foot fitness center will be provided,
as well as a day-care center for the children of employees within
the Park. Mr. Deutsch said they will emphasize telecom-
munications; they are presently working with outside consultants
to provide the most sophisticated center available with the tech-
nology of today. He said they hope to provide the most up-to-
date park to be found anywhere in the Country and think it will
be a credit to this community. The landscaping budget is huge,
and that together with the stone and wood will present a beauti-
ful picture.
Mayor Cassandra expressed concern that any bordering residential
areas would be screened with a berm of some form during construc-
tion, and Mr. Deutsch said that will be done. Councilman Warnke
asked if the large loop of roadway north of N.W. 22nd Avenue
wou~d be extended to Congress Avenue, and Mr. Deutsch replied
affirmatively, stating it will go through the Savannah Square
shopping center.
Mr. George Zimmerman, Director of Design and Planning for
Deutsch-Ireland Properties, said the Riteco master plan had 50

additional acres of developed land than the current plan; that 50
acres has gone into green space and open space. He pointed out
the lake spine, which was created to provide water views, high-
light each lot and serve as a retaining area for storm water.
The color code of the drawing was explained, with the light
orange tone to be developed into office use, the dark orange tone
for research and development type of light industrial, the brown
tone representing light industrial or distribution type of faci-
d yellow representing commercial areas. The office and
areas have remained at about the same acreage as shown
Final plan, but the industrial area has decreased by
imat~ly 50 acres.
Councilman Warnke asked if hotels are still planned, and Mr.
zimmerman answered that they are; there are three sites which are
ional for hotels or offices. Mr. Deutsch said most of the
~ hotel chains have contacted his firm and expressed an
in building in this Park. Mayor Cassandra raised the
ion of height limitations, and it was stated that the 45
imit will apply.
Mr. Cheney said situdies on the interchange at N.W. 22nd Avenue
show it will relieve some of the traffic problems on Boynton
Beach Boulevard and Hypoluxo Road and also that it will relieve
traffic on N.E. 22nd Avenue. He said he hopes that means 22nd
Avenue east of Seacrest Boulevard will remain a three-lane road;
we ~have the right,of way for much wider, but probably in the near
future that will not be necessary.
Councilman Warnke said that amount of land under the City's pre-
sent zoning would support approximately 2,500 homes; he thinks
this project is much more acceptable than private homes or condos
from the aspect of traffic and other impacts on the City.
Councilman Zimmerman noted that the size of the parcels has been
reduced; he asked what the total number of parcels will be. Mr
Z~mmerman replied that the number will be the same or fewer; the
extra space will result in more open area.
Mayor Cassandra asked if this increases the density; Mr. Carmen
Annunziato, Director of Planning, answered that he did not think
so and did not anticipate an increase in square footage.
Mr. Cheney said he will send the Council a memo showing the sche-
dule of dates for this project and will ask them to hold a spe-
cial public hearing meeting on March 25, the fourth Tuesday in
MarCh. There was discussion regarding the 15 to 20 million
dollar financing of the interchange.

Presentation of Droposed use~.of Conrad Pickel's Galler~ Building
Mr. John Grant, founder and President of Ocean Learning
Institute, passed out packets of background information to the
Council. He said the Institute has been in business for 10
years; they give field trips in marine science for college stu-
dents, publish a journal and make films about the sea. Since the
Institute was started, they have had the idea of setting up a
maritime museum; about one year ago Mr. Grant said he began to
organize toward that goal. He said he gained support from the
New York Historical Society, one of the more prestigious museums,
and their Director, Dr. James Bell; the Naval Institute
=eedings; and the National Art Gallery, Whose Director, Mr.
Brown, has said he would be cooperative in a lloan program
e Palm Beach Nautical Museum is established.
Mr. Grant said this 4,000 square foot building is a perfect loca-
tion in which to start a museum. One of the foundation's board
members has agreed to purchase the building with certain con-
tengencies. He said they will need financial assistance in
getting started. They propose to have a gift shop and an exhibit
area and plan to produce films.
Mayor Cassandra noted on Mr. Grant's memo that $2,500 per month
would be needed for building rental, and they would like the City
to subsidize the museum for that amount, to be repaid out of the
receipts from the gift shop and shows at a 50/50 rate until it is
completely paid. Mayor Cassandra thought the problems to con-
sider pertaining to this request were parking space, variances to
Code requirements that would be necessary to proceed, and the
expenses.
Mr. Cheney said there are a maximum of three legitimate parking
spaces on the site, and Mr. Grant had been advised that the
Women's Club has extra parking space for which some arrangements
might be worked out. It has also been suggested that they buy
the abandoned Mobil gas station across the street.
Councilman Warnke said he, having been involved with history, is
extremely enthusiastic about this program. He mentioned the 1892
Columbian Exposition and said that in 1992 this Country will
celebrate the 500th anniversary of Columbus' discovery. He told
about a Boynton Beach resident who has the largest collection of
Columbiana in the world, which he needs a place to display. Mr.
Warnke said in 1992 Boynton Beach could become the "Columbus
center" of the United States. Mr. Grant said in addition to the
gift shop, they plan to have a tourist information center. He
compared that to the way the old water tower in the center of
Chicago, with no parking facilities, has been turned into a
tourist information center where a short film is shown at a
charge of $4.50 per person.
Mr. Cheney said the first consideration might be whether the
Council wants to consider subsidizing this museum for a couple of
- 4 -

years. Vice Mayor Ferrell said he had no problem with working
out any of the variances; he asked if enough parking space cannot
be found, can we generate the flow of people Mr. Grant expects.
He thinks some imagination is needed in government today to do
some of this type of thing.
Councilman Hester said he had problems with the financing of the
project. Councilman Warnke thought the concept was good, but we
need more details. Mr. Grant said there was a 60 day contingency
to buy the building, and two or three weeks have passed. Vice
Mayor Ferrell did not think there was a line of people waiting to
buy that building.
Attorney Vance asked if this Institute is tax exempt, and Mr.
Grant replied that it is classified as 501C3 Public-Not for
Profit and has the same exemption as Florida Atlantic University
or Palm Beach Junior College.
The consensus of the Council was that they are receptive to the
idea of the Museum, but have not yet committed themselves to the
sUbsidy concept.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Citizens' concerns about N.E. 15th Place and Yachtman's Plaza
Mr. Cheney said they think the new owner and property manager of
Yachtman's Plaza will be more responsive than in the past.
Walls, which were not required when the site plan was approved,
have been built around the existing dumpster, reducing the
eyesore factor. The property manager has agreed to repair, and
replace where needed, the sprinkler system and begin using it,
and additional landscaping will be added. Codes Enforcement per-
sonnel continue to write to them concerning violations, and
George Hunt is attempting to negotiate solutions with them.
Our staff can install the missing section of sidewalk in front of
City-owned property on the south side of the plaza at a cost of
about $300 for materials and what is the equivalent of about $836
in labor costs. This could be done in the next couple of months;
Mr. Cheney recommended that this be done.
City staff have indicated to the owner that no Certificate of
Occupancy for vacant stores or Occupational Licenses for people
who want to operate a business will be issued for that center
until they are satisfied he has begun to respond to the City's
concerns.
Vice Mayor Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Warnke, to
authorize the expenditure of funds to complete the missing sec-
tion of sidewalk through City employees and also to support the
measures the City Manager has taken for compliance.

Traffic problems at N.W. 7th Street and Boynton Beach Boulevard
Mr. Cheney said there have been a long series of discussions and
correspondence with the Florida Department of Transportation and
the Palm Beach County Traffic Division concerning safety problems
on Boynton Beach Boulevard, not just at this location but along
the entire Boulevard. This is a State road, over which the City
has no control; the State and the County assist each other in
doing traffic studies. Over the years we have managed to main-
tain good relationships with the State and County relative to
traffic problems. Old Boynton Road and Boynton Beach Boulevard
will be realigned, resulting in an intersection with N.W. 8th
Street adjacent to the f!uneral home; the County's current posi-
tion is that a traffic signal will be installed at that location
when the intersection is rebuilt but to put too many traffic
signals between there and 1-95 would create a problem with moving
traffic. In their last correspondence of September, 1985, the
County suggested that no other signals be installed there until
Old Boynton Road is installed and it is determined if that and
the signals currently at the Lnterchange create enough gaps in
the traffic movement to all safe movement in andout of N.W.
7th Street.
A medical office building will be built on the south side of
Boynton Beach Boulevard next to the property where a proposal had
been submitted to build an ice-cream-cone-shaped restaurant a few
months ago, and the medical association has also purchased that
parcel of land. There have been traffic problems with that site.
The D.O.T has sent a sketch showing several additional medians on
Boynton Beach Boulevard, which will solve in part the problems
raised by Mr. Fulton and is consistent with what D.O.T. is doing
on state highways throughout Florida. With the closing of the
median cuts, traffic coming from N.W. 7th Street will not be able
to turn east, but will have to turn west, go to relocated Old
Boynton Road, make a U-turn and then go east. That is the
current design being used throughout the State; they are encourag-
ing U-turns at traffic signals and discouraging median breaks.
At the Technical Review Board meeting today, the conclusion was
that the City will require the medical center in their construc-
tion to build that median in front of their land, which would
eliminate turns from N.W. 7th Street to the east.
At one time Mr. Cheney said the State's activity of closing the
median breaks and the relocation of Old Boynton Road had been
anticipated to take place in 1986; the County has had to do some
land condemnation in connection with relocating Old Boynton Road,
however, and has run into a snag in that process and may delay
that project for some time. They apparently intend to go to
court and argue about some old land ownership rights. Mr. Cheney
said there Ks a long-term solution to this traffic situation pro-
posed by the D.O.T. and the County, which we had hoped would take
- 6 -

place during 1986 but a part of which now may be delayed a year
or two. A portion of the situation may be improved when the
medical center is built. A specific solution to the concerns
about N.W. 7th Street will be in part solved, because traffic
will no longer be turning east coming out of that street.
Mayor Cassandra gave Mr. Kimberly Fulton his copy of the D.O.T.'s
proposed median configuration and the attached related correspon-
dence, and he was invited to come to the next Council meeting and
make comments after reviewing their recommendations.
B_gynton Commerce Center on Wog~br~ht Road
Mr. Cheney referred to conversation at the last Council meeting
regarding this project and said he does not know if the
landscaping has been done, for they are still under notice of
violation on landscaping. The illegal sign has been removed.
They have been advised no more building permits will be processed
for them except those already being processed, for the tenants
should not have to suffer because of the developer. Their
hearing regarding their application to build an office building
and hotel was delayed for 30 days, allowing them time to come
into compliance with the Code. A fine on the trailer is pending;
the trailer has since been removed. Other violations are still
going through boards.
As soon as the time is appropriate to do landscaping, Mr. Cheney
said the City will landscape the well structures on the west side
of the area as long as they do not get in the Lake
Worth Drainage
also.District right of way. The lift station area will be landscaped
The City Manager's report was accepted as presented.
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Community ~m_~rovement Re~
Mrs. Wilda Searcy said she and Councilman Ferrell went to Belle
Glade last week. She said she has talked with Mr. Schnier of
Community Development about the black community, and he asked her
to get in touch with the Senators and the Governor to see what
can be done with funding. She received a call from Mr. Jeff
Slater, who wants to interview her because some of her correspon-
dence has come to the commissioner's office. She hopes the com-
munities can be cleaned up and noted this is a concern throughout
the country. Photographs were shown of vacant lots owned by the
City, which Mrs. Searcy said should be cleaned.
Mayor Cassandra said, when the capital improvements are made in
the Public Works area, it will be cleaned up. Councilman Warnke
- 7 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

said he sent Mrs. Searcy minutes of the Codes Enforcement Board
meetings, which show that there are many code violations being
cited by the City. She replied that many of the lots continually
have a sign on them. Mr. Cheney wanted to clarify that the
Public Works lot will always have trucks on the City property;
some will be new and some will be old trucks. The presentations
on the capital improvements program have shown that the Public
Works site will continue to have a fence around it and be totally
landscaped. He said that is an industrial-type yard and acti-
vity. Mrs. Searcy suggested that a waffle fence be installed
around the site.
Vice Mayor Ferrell said we are making progress in Boynton Beach.
After looking around South Bay and Belle Glade, he said Mrs.
Searcy admitted there are places with worse conditions.
~esidenq~ R_~uirement for Elected Offices
Mr. Bob Olenik of 306 S.W. 12th Avenue wanted to discuss the
City's ordinance on the requirements for becoming a candidate for
the City Council, which states that a candidate must be a resi-
dent in the district up for election at least 60 days prior. He
said he is currently having a house built in District II , will
be moved into that district by the end of March, and is
interested in serving on the Council representing District II.
He asked if there are any provisions to waive this residency
requirement if he shows binding proof he will move into that
house when it is completed. While the Code does not specifically
provide for such waivers, he did not believe it specifically
excludes such waivers either.
Attorney Vance said he spoke with Mr. Olenik this afternoon, and
he has a contract to buy a house that is now under construction
but on which he has not yet closed. The ordinance, which was
adopted by the City Council and approved on a referendum vote by
the citizens of the City, clearly states 60 days. Attorney Vance
said a contract to purchase a house is not residence. He said
the Code is binding, and the 60-day residency requirement has
been upheld even in the Federal courts. He said there is no way
the City Council could waive that requirement.
Request to Waive Solicitation Permit Requirement - Veterans'
Council
Mr. Jack Dashev, who resides in Indian Springs but was present to
represent the Boynton Beach Veterans' Council, said the posts of
which their Council is comprised are all chartered by the United
States Congress and responsible to same. He requested exemption
from the requirement that they must obtain a Solicitation Permit
from the City for their Poppy drives. Mayor Cassandra said this
request came before the Council previously, but the individuals
- 8 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 4, 1986
representing the Veterans' Council left before that item was
brought up on the agenda. The City Council, based upon recommen-
dations given to it, made a decision on the request not to allow
the exemption. The City Manager had asked the representative
from the Veterans' Council to provide documents to confirm that
the posts are chartered by the Congress, and he reported at that
meeting that he had received no documents to date.
Mr. Dashev said he would like to answer any questions. Vice
Mayor Ferrell said the Council had just considered a request to
waive an ordinance; he thought they could either waive all of
them or none of them. Attorney Vance said the City Council had
adopted this ordinance to control charity drives or people who
ask for funds in the City of Boynton Beach; he said they either
control them all or control none. There was discussion about
other groups who might request exemption from the requirement.
Mayor Cassandra said he was on the Council at the time the ordi-
nance was adopted; there had been concern about Rev. Moon's
group. Mr. Cheney said the City had an $8,000 legal bill at that
time. Councilman Warnke said he is a member of two posts in the
Veterans' Council, and he understood Mr. Dasher's concern, but
there are other groups who might like to be exempt also. He also
said under Robert's RUles of Order this Council cannot reconsider
their previous motion on this subject. Mr. Dashev asked if there
are any exemptions to this law now in the City of Boynton Beach,
and the reply was that there are not. He explained how their
posts are dedicated to the City and the entire community benefits
from their activities; he said they only go out two or three days
a year.
Vice Mayor Ferrell said he belongs to one of the posts and is a
member of the Fraternal Order of Police, which might also think
they would be entitled to exemption. He thought the charges are
small and would not greatly affect the fund-raising efforts;
thiose charges are used to offset some of the expense to the City,
thiOUgh there is a common perception that government should Day
all of such costs, which cannot be done. -
Mr. Cheney explained what had taken place the last time the
request was made; he had repeated to the Council the represen-
tatives' concerns about the fee charged and also the financial
disclosure requirement. He said the orqanization's adjutant had
been expected to furnish legal document~ or opinions showing that
what the City was doing with the charter groups was illegal, but
nothing was provided. The principle on which the City was acting
was that organizations raising money in the City should be
willing to disclose what they do! with the funds they collect.
The subject came up with the Moonies, who took the City to court;
the City Council refuSed to alloW them to solicit, even though
they knew they Would lose the case~. When this happened, the City
was required to pay their legal fees. Mr. Cheney felt that if
- 9 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING

the City exempts any group, other groups would make the same
request and the City would face the same issue again.
Attorney Vance said a substantial number of Federal court cases
have been initiated, in many instances by the Moonies. He said
essentially if the City is to have an ordinance that attempts to
control charitable solicitations, there can be no exemptions.
Mayor Cassandra explained why the Council could not reconsider a
motion which had already been passed at a previous meeting by a
5-0 vote. Mr. Dashev passed out newspapers to the Council for
their information as to what the Veterans' Council is doing here.
Traffic Flow Problems - Galaxy School
Mrs. Betty Settle, President of the Galaxy Elementary School
Advisory Board, introduced Mrs. Linda Surzinski, President of the
Parent Teacher Organization. Mrs. Settle said she was before the
Council to request flashing traffic lights at the School's exit
onto N.W. 4th Street. Over 700 students attend Galaxy
Elementary, and they expect to have over 150 additional students
coming next year. There is only one entrance into the school,
and she said a drastic traffic problem exists. If an accident
should occur, she said there would be so many parents bringing
their children to school that the traffic jam would be severe.
The Palm Beach County Engineering Department has advised that
flashing traffic lights will be installed on Boynton Beach
Boulevard in one to two months. Another problem is motorists
speeding on that Boulevard coming east from 1-95; she claimed
the school zone speed limit signs are not being observed.
Mr. Cheney said radar is used on a regular basis at all of the
school crossings, though not at everY school every day, and
speeders are apprehended. There is a crossing guard at the
intersection for children crossing Boynton Beach Boulevard, and
no child should be crossing that street without protection.
Mrs. Settle said there is also a traffic problem for parents
attempting to turn into the school, along with school buses; she
told of the traffic from Holiday Inn and the busy gasoline sta-
tion adding to the congestion.
Mr. Cheney said this problem is addressed about every other year.
Full traffic signals have been requested for N.W. 4th and Boynton
Beach Boulevard. Every time the subject has been brought up
with the State, the answer has been that it is not necessary
according to the traffic standards, there is a crossing guard
there, and it is too close to the intersection to have another
light at that location. Vice Mayor Ferrell said he did some stu-
dies on that location and does not think a traffic light will be
installed there; he thought we might approach the County to get
more flashing lights through the school zone.

COuncilman Hester said he has observed the problem himself coming
out from N.W. 4th Street, and it is bad; he suggested perhaps the
street should be made one way or parents might be encouraged to
use another street to come into Galaxy. Councilman Warnke said
Police Chief Edward Hillery indicated that one officer is
designated to handle school zone problems and make recommen-
dations to him. Mr. Cheney was asked to report back to the
Council with any recommendations for addressing these problems.
Boynton Commercenter - Council Action
Mr. Ralph Marchese, 1901 Roma Way, wanted to congratulate the
Council for the stand it took at the last meeting in requiring
that the Boynton Commercenter come into compliance with the
Code before holding the public hearing for their next request for
approval of an amended site plan.
CONSENT AGENDA
In response to a request Mayor Cassandra had received, Vice Mayor
Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Hester, to remove Item B-3

Councilman Warnke had a correction on the Minutes of January 21,

Florida Mack Truck, Riviera Beach, Florida in the amount of
$120,666. Total bid was $164,666, less (2) trade-ins $44,000 =
$120,666.
Mr. Robert Weil of MTA Equipment Corporation said two bids were
submitted in compliance with the City's request; one for an E-Z
Pak Goliath body with a Mack Truck and the other for a Dempster
Dump King. Mr. Weil said he was requesting the City of Boynton
Beach to award the bid to MTA Equipment Corporation and
to Dempster in conjunction with South Florida Mack Truck.
Dempster Systems, through an attorney, asked Peabody Gallon, the
Goliath manufacturing company, to cease and desist manufacturing
this product due to a copy of Mr. Weil's company's unit that was
built since 1969. Mr. Weil said his company also is requesting
the award because of low bid.
Mr. Weil said Mack can put a Goliath on their truck, but there
may be legal problems which could possibly jeopardize the City of
Boynton Beach. Mr. Cheney said the city has taken Mr. Well's
complaint into consideration at the staff level an~will be
asking the successful bidder to provide a "hold harmless"
agreement, which would protect the City in the event there is
legal action. If such an agreement is furnished, the original
recommendation will stand. He said the issue before us is that
we have not received good service from Dempster and based on that
are not anxious to get further involved with them.

Councilman Warnke said, as a layman when it comes to dump trucks,
he would like to rely completely on the staff recommendations and
would like to move that the Council go along with staff recommen-
dations, conditioned upon the successful bidder providing the
City with a "hold harmless" agreement. Vice Mayor Ferrell
seconded the motion, and it carried 5-0.
PUBLIC HEARING
ao
Consider request submitted by Kieran J. Kilday, agent for
Edward I. Singer for approval to annex a 1.56 acre tract of
land located on West Boynton Beach Boulevard at Knuth Road,
the northeast corner. This project is known as Greentree
Plaza. (Postponed to February 4, 1986 meeting)
Attorney Vance said this request had been postponed pending a
water service agreement, which has now been drafted. Mr. Cheney
said the City is approving the utility service agreement, the
applicant will get his building permit for the site plan we have
approved from the County, and when details with the State can be
worked out, the City will annex the property.
Mr. Kieran J. Kilday, agent for Edward I. Singer, was present to
answer questions. Councilman Zimmerman said he still has reser-
vations about the retail usage incorporated in the plan.
Mayor Cassandra asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of or
against this request, and there was no response. Vice Mayor
Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Hester, to approve this
annexation and the water service agreement. Councilman Warnke
said he does not agree to annex any more tracts of land into the
City due to the tremendous congestion of the roads in that area.
Concerning the water and sewer agreement, it was indicated at the
last sewer board meeting that our sewer plant is now at its capa-
city; therefore, he cannot agree to annexing any more land into
the City until our new sewer plant is in operation. The motion
on the floor was voted upon and carried 3-2, with Councilman
Zimmerman and Councilman Warnke voting against the motion. There
was discussion about some of these annexations squaring off the
boundary lines.
Consider request submitted by Kieran J. Kilday, agent for
Edward I. Singer to show land as Local Retail Commercial and
to rezone from AR (Agricultural Residential) to C-3
(Community Commercial), for the purpose of constructing a
20,000 square foot retail/office building on West Boynton
Beach Boulevard at Knuth Road, the northeast corner. This
project is known as Greentree Plaza II. (Postponed to
February 4, 1986 meeting)
Mr. Carmen Annunziato, Director of Planning, reminded the Council
that staff made a set of stipulations concerning the construction
- 14 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 4,1986
of Knuth Road and utilities in connection with this rezoning, and
annexation should be granted upon compliance with those con-
ditions. In response to Mayor Cassandra's question as to whether
he agrees to the stipulations made by staff, Mr. Kilday said they
are already prepared to construct Knuth Road up to and through
the canal, but the second part of the stipulation will depend on
the cooperation of the other property owner. He said their hands
are tied until the City acts with the other property owner. Mr.
Annunziato said the other owner will not be annexed and zoned or
receive his water and sewer agreement until he cooperates.
Mayor Cassandra asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of or
against this request, and there was no response. Vice Mayor
Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Hester, to approve this
rezoning from AR to C-3. He said many times this is the best way
to control the quality of what is built in a location, because
the same stipulations might not be met if the property remained
in the County, but the impact on the roads could be just as great
whether it was a part of the City or the County. Councilman
Warnke thought the AR zoning should be retained for the property,
and pressure should be put on the County Commission not to rezone
it when the request comes before them. The motion was voted upon
and carried 3-2, with Councilman Warnke and Councilman Zimmerman
voting in opposition.
Mayor Cassandra said the developer should realize that the two
Councilmen have very strong concerns, and the retail usage con-
cern should be considered. Mr. Kilday said they restricted it
considerably from the original proposal, which was all retail.
He added that, in addition to this parcel, the existing Greentree
Plaza, which already has water and sewer service, will be
annexed. Mr. Kilday said this property is zoned CG in the
County; it is not zoned AR.
As suggested by Attorney Vance, Vice Mayor Ferrell moved,
seconded by Councilman Warnke, to deviate from the Agenda and
next consider the other request for this applicant, which was
under Legal-Other.
1. Consider approval of Utility Service Agreement submitted by
Kieran J. Kilday for Edward I. Singer
(Postponed to February 4, 1986)
Vice Mayor Ferrell moved, secOnded by Councilman Hester, to
approve the Utility Service Agreement. The motion carried 3-2,
with Councilman Zimmerman and Councilman Warnke dissenting.
Vice Mayor Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Hester, to
revert to the order of the Agenda. The motion carried 5-0.
At 9:45 p.m. Mayor Cassandra announced a break, and the meeting
resumed at 9:50.

DEVELOPMENT PLANS
ae
Consider request submitted by Beril Kruger, agent for Roland
Reinhardt, for Site Plan approval of an amended site plan to
allow for the expansion of the existing restaurant (Bavarian
Haus) from 160 licensed seats to 222 licensed seats and a
request for a Shared Parking Allocation. The Bavarian Haus
is located on the east side of Congress Avenue, south of West
Boynton Beach Boulevard. TABLED
Vice Mayor Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Warnke, to
remove this item from the table. The motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Annunziato said a recommendation was sent to the Council in
November, 1985. Between the Planning and Zoning Board meeting
and the City Council meeting the applicant asked that this
request be tabled and action postponed pending submission of
additional information. The applicant has determined that addi-
tional information will not be provided and requests that we go
forward with the recommendation. In November, 1985, Mr. Kruger
requested an amended site plan to allow expansion of the existing
Bavarian Haus restaurant from 160 to 222 licensed seats and
shared parking allocation in connection with the Winn Dixie and
the Forum Shoppes shopping centers. Based on recommendations
submitted by the Planning staff, the Planning and Zoning Board
unanimously recommended to the City Council that both the request
for shared parking and the site plan modification be denied. Mr.
Annunziato said, based on evidence submitted, the staff concluded
that at build out there will be a surplus of 56 parking spaces at
the peak hour for the Winn Dixie, Forum Shoppes and cinema
parking lot area. That forms about an 8 percent cushion over the
worst condition, in which there would be no parking.
Based on the current codes, Mr. Annunziato said the Bavarian Haus
currently would require more parking spaces than were constructed
on site; the request to increase to 222 seats would further the
deficit.
There was discussion regarding the office building to be built by
the Forum Shoppes with the parking area below the building. Mr.
Annunziato suggested that perhaps, after the office building and
9-screen cinema are built and operating at capacity, this request
might be reviewed at that time as to the availability of parking.
He said the peak hour for demand on parking for the entire area
is considered to be at 6:00 p.m. on Friday.
Mr. Beril Kruger, agent for Mr. Reinhardt, said the Kimberly-Horn
study stated the peak hour, even for the cinema, would be 6:00
p.m., but he had newspaper listings for movie starting times for
other theaters in the area that would not indicate that is a peak
hour. He did not think retail shopping at the Forum Shoppes
- 16-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 4,1986
or use of the office building would peak at that hour either; he
felt there is sufficient parking. Mr. Kruger said their
engineer's studies indicate this. He said they submitted their
petition in early 1985 but were asked by staff to withdraw it
because of problems with the Forum Shoppes; they felt they should
have been allowed to continue with their addition to the
restaurant, in which case they would have been the first one
approved.
Mr. Cheney said 6:00 p.m. on Friday is considered to be the peak
hour for demand on parking, acknowledging the different peaks of
the office building, retail stores and cinema. When the owner
bought this property, there was an existing shared parking
agreement. Mr. Annunziato said all of the property in that area,
he believed excluding the Mobil service station and City Federal,
but including the bowling alley and the new office building to be
constructed behind the Forum Shoppes, are encumbered with the
shared access and parking agreement; one property owner cannot
restrict his parking to his own use. In response to Councilman
Zimmerman's question, Mr. Annunziato said the three multi-story
office buildings to be built have enough parking for their use on
their property, but they are included in the shared parking
agreement. Some of their parking, however, will be underneath
the office building, which probably'would be locked.
Mayor Cassandra was concerned that an existing business be denied
expansion because of time sharing with other businesses, and also
that the 56 surplus parking space availability has some
uncertainty--it could be more or less. He added that, if insuf-
ficient parking is available, this applicant would lose business.
There was discussion of allowing 189 seats instead of the 222
requested.
Mr. Kruger read a part of the parking agreement signed in 1976 by
the Ranch House Restaurant (owner of the property at that time),
which stated the parking places on that site were for the primary
use of their customers. Attorney Vance pointed out that
"primary" is not exclusive. Mr. Kruger said Kimberly-Horn's
engineers told him there are enough parking spaces, but they
would charge $5,000 to put that in writing. Vice Mayor Ferrell
thought that information should be provided to the Council if it
is available, and Mr. Cheney said he will make a concerted effort
to contact the Vice President of Kimberly-Horn to see if it can
be obtained. Mr. Kruger was agreeable to the request being
tabled pending additional information pertaining to the parking
study.
Vice Mayor Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Warnke, to table
the request by Bavarian Haus for shared parking allocation. The
motion carried 5-0.

meeting. The motion carried 5-0.
Proposed Resolution No. 86-P Re: Declaring Acquisition
of Well Sites
Mr. Cheney said this resolution is necessary for taking the well
sites west of Military Trail on Boynton Beach Boulevard, con-
sistent with all of our studies in the water system, as well as a
10 acre site for the proposed plant and easements necessary to
tie those wells together. We are taking all of the wells we will
need from this large piece of land, which is not yet developed
and residential, so we will not have to go back later and expand
it. In response to Mayor Cassandra's question, Attorney Vance
explained that eventually, if a price is not negotiated, a jury
of 12 makes a decision as to the amount to be paid, based on
appraisals.

Proposed Resolution No. 86-Q Re: Amending Pay Plan 1985,/
1986 and Ad~~tions
Mr. Cheney said this enables the City to combine all of the heavy
equipment maintenance work in the utility system into one divi-
sion. The technical workers have in the past been divided into
three groups; the heavy high-tech type of maintenance will be
performed by one division under one skilled mechanic. In
response to Councilman Zimmerman's question as to whether we have
someone qualified for that position, Mr. Cheney said an exam will
be given.

Mr. Cheney said this project had been approved in the past and
funds have been appropriated for it; the request now is to

the City Council, the School Board and the County. Attorney
Vance noted that the County Attorney had signed the contract on

the execution of the contract for the Congress Middle School
track. The motion carried 5-0.

B. Consider process to review Siqn Ordinance
Mr. Cheney said he did not intend to suggest that the committee
mentioned in his memo of February 4, 1986, should consist of i1
people; he listed the kinds of organizations that might be
represented on an advisory committee to study the sign ordinance.
He suggests the first effort should be limited to just a few
items and suggested that a brief document might be written to
create an advisory board. Attorney Vance thought this would best
be accomplished by resolution. Vice Mayor Ferrell moved,
seconded by Councilman Hester, to direct the City Attorney to
draw up an appropriate resolution to authorize the creation of an
advisory board in reference to a sign ordinance. The motion
carried 5-0.
C. Review of uses at Boynton Commercenter - P.I.D.
Vice Mayor Ferrell said he made a mistake and told the gentleman
who was here from the church at the last meeting that this issue
would not be brought up tonight, and he could go ahead and leave,
which he did. Mr. Cheney said the Planning Director has
concluded that both the gymnastics school and the church are
inconsistent with the planned industrial development as it was
originally conceived.
Mr. Tim Rand said he would very much like to have a gymnastics
school in Boynton Beach. He said he is not trying to set a pre-
cedent here; it has been done in other cities as well as in Palm
Beach County. He said there are no exact lists in the Code of
what can or cannot be in the P.I.D. zoning; he pointed out con-
ditions in the Code with which he thought the gymnastics school
would be compatible and addressed some of Mr. Annunziato's con-
cerns. The gymnastics school would require about 15,000 square
feet and explained how his request should be considered for the
individual and separate kind of activity that it is.
Councilman Warnke referred to an exhibit to a memo from Mr.
Golden of the City's Planning staff, dated November 13, 1985,
which listed some uses and some prohibited uses. Mr. Peter
Applefield, Director of Leasing for Boynton Commercenter, said
uses for a P.I.D. are free to be debated to an extent, but the
list Mr. Warnke mentioned was for the Boynton Commercenter speci-
fically. Mr. Chene~ said the Boynton Commercenter, at the city's
s~ggestion, had submitted a list of possible uses; City staff
went through that list and eliminated some of them. This was
s~mply a mechanism to help them understand what they might be
able to lease there; the list was not necessarily to be exclu-
sive.
Mayor Cassandra said he has reservations about giving this deve-
loper permission for anything at this time; he thinks Mr. Rand is
- 20-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 4,1986
making his request at the wrong time. He referred to the City
Manager's memo which said no more permits would be issued to
Boynton Commercenter developers until their Code violations are
cleared. It was suggested that Mr. Rand return at a later date
to see what has been done about the violations. Mr. Rand asked,
if the owners comply with the Code, how would he stand.
Councilman Warnke thought, when the present problems are
resolved, Mr. Rand has every right to come back and ask for con-
sideration for permitted usage in that area. Mayor Cassandra
said, if Mr. Rand comes back, he would like more information as
to what the plan for equipment in the facility would be.
Councilman Zimmerman thought we have a good recommendation from
the PlannJ Director. Councilman ~ester would like more infor-
mation the results of gymnastics schools at other loca-
tions. V Mayor Ferrell said he would be willing to listen
again if Mr. Rand comes back. Mayor Cassandra told Mr. Rand the
Council will definitely listen again to his petition.
D. Com__~ehensive Plan Amendment
Councilman Warnke asked, if anyone comes in now for rezoning, are
they furnished with the procedure they must go through. Mr.
Annunziato said an application has been prepared, and several
potential applicants have picked one up and are preparing it.
Mr. Cheney said no decision is required; this information is fur-
nished for familiarization with the plan amendment procedures.
NEW BUSINESS
A. WXEL and a continuing__!ocation in Boynton Beach
Mr. Cheney felt WXEL is an institution that is of value to the
City; there are not many joint public TV and public radio sta-
tions around the country and probably will not be any new public
TV stations because of the funding situation. He thinks it adds
tremendously to the culture and status of the City, and it would
be a mistake to let the facility go to some other location. They
have received money from the legislature for a totally new faci-
lity for public TV and radio broadcasting and need free land on
which to build the facility. Mr. Cheney recommended that the
City provide 6.2 acres of land it owns for WXEL so it can stay
here. They have been granted 3.5 million dollars and the chances
are great that with this legislature they will receive another
million dollars for equipment. They will need a tower of from 75
to 100 feet; the engineers do not know exactly at this time. He
said he will soon be asking for a height variance for the City's
own radio system.
Councilman Warnke was in full agreement with trying to keep the
station in Boynton Beach. He asked if anything was ever done to
have the station mention over the air that their studios are in
- 21-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 4, 1986
Boynton Beach. Mr. Cheney said he has great faith that, if we
donate six acres of land to them, something could be worked out
for them to announce that they have studios in Boynton Beach.
They will still identify themselves as being in West Palm Beach
because of the transmitter. Their main antenna is in West Palm
Beach; their antenna here will be to send signals by microwave to
the main antenna; they will continue to have a microwave dish,
which will be moved and landscaped.
In response to Mayor Cassandra's question, Mr. Cheney said they
will comply with the City's codes. They will build a two-story
building. Attorney Vance said the variance procedure would be
required for the height exception.
Mr. Cheney recommends that the City offer WXEL the land, with the
assumption that, if they do not use the land or stop using it, it
will revert to the City. Councilman Warnke moved, seconded by
Councilman Zimmerman, to have the City Manager proceed with
offering the land to WXEL with the provisions he has stated. The
motion carried 5-0.
B. Consider Revised Land Development Fees
Mr. Cheney said, if the Council agrees on the fee revisions, it
will be put in resolution form. Vice Mayor Ferrell asked why
some of the fees are set lower than the estimated costs, and Mr.
Annunziato said it was because they were rounded off. Attorney
Vance said he encounters fees during the course of his work, and
he thinks these fees are too low. Mr. Annunziato said his
department has done a comprehensive analysis, including every
conceivable cost, and they think this is fair. Mr. Cheney would
like to keep the fees reasonable and be able to justify them; he
thinks some of the City's fees, such as capital facility charges,
are low and need to be raised. Mr. Annunziato said no recommen-
dation was made on the subdivision administrative fee; we are at
1 percent, the County is at 1½ percent and is considering raising
the administrative feee on the subdivision regulation to 2 per-
cent. Mr. Cheney said that will be entered at 2 percent.
