proposed for the Gold Star Mothers and another for MIAs and Prisoners of War. The
monuments would include maps showing the important battles and actions. There were

Brian Miller, .2515 NE 2nd Court, Acting Chair of the Community Relations Board,
introduced . Wesner Sandville of the Bethany Seven Day Adventist Church, a Haitian
leader in the community, who offered suggestions on how to help the Haitian community
after the disaster. Mr. Sandville had organized an Executive Committee and developed
a Haiti relief and long-term sustainability approach. Their goal was to provide Haiti with
the tools necessary to become self-sufficient. Money would be raised to help build

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach. FL January 19, 2010
Carl McKoy, 69 Citrus Park Lane, commended staff on the Census presentation and
remarked it was important for funding purposes in the future. The March 9th election
was also an important event and he hoped the City would be proactive in promoting the
election to ensure a better voter response. City Clerk Prainito advised the upcoming
election would be advertised after the close of the qualifying period and other ads
regarding the voting precincts and L&Atesting. Vice Mayor Hay added it was the
responsibility of all citizens to spread the word through churches and. other
organizations to promote the election. Mr. McKoy suggested some type of promotion
on BBTV might be beneficial. Mayor Taylor offered the website may be an option as
well as the marquee on the corner. Commissioner Ross suggested a multi-media
approach.
Nick Skzrecki, 8003 Red Reef Lane and Andrew Davis from the Nautica development,
spoke about the streets in their neighborhood. A letter from the City had indicated two
more months was needed to review the situation. He felt the matter was being ignored.
There is damage to the streets with a substantial stain throughout the development. Mr.
Davis thanked Commissioner Ross and Mr. Livergood for coming to the homeowners'
association meeting. Commissioner Rodriguez asked the City Manager for an update
on the situation. Mr. Bressner reported there are specific reasons for allowing the
materials to oxidize until May.
Warren Timm, 130 NE 26th Avenue, explored the concept of representative democracy
and contended a referendum on the police facility would be appropriate.
, -
Don Scantlan, 13 Cedar Circle, thanked Commissioner Weiland for his appointment to
the Veterans Advisory Commission. He invited the Commission to the Palm Beach
County Workforce Leadership Forum commencing on January 27,2010. The first topic
of discussion would be on workplace ethics.
Joseph Snyder, Principal of Galaxy Elementary, expressed appreciation for the many
programs and services the City offers to the school and its students. He sought the
continued support of the City with the ongoing discussions of modernization of the
school and possibly closing the facility. The last meeting resulted in a possible redesign
of the building to accommodate fewer children. Mr. Bressner noted the proposed land
swap was part of the City's effort to assist in retaining the school within the City.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, thanked the Commission for participating with the
Martin Luther King banquet, festivities and the breakfast. He reported students from
Galaxy and Poinciana schools entertained during the breakfast. He urged everyone to
support the Haitian relief efforts.
Herb Suss, 1711 Woodfern Drive, questioned if there was an issue with drywall in
Renaissance Commons. Mayor Taylor reported the insurance' company was taking
total responsibility for the problem. Mr. Suss expressed his opinion that global warming

was happening and he hoped the Commission would continue to support the green
effort. It is a serious problem that can be corrected. Mayor Taylor repeated comments
that he had made referencing global warming as being cyclical and nature's way.
John McGovern, 2620 Spiceberry Lane, commended the City for up-to-the-date and
historical candidate information available to the public. He urged citizens to visit the
website to view history and current events. Mr. McGovern noted the agenda was
becoming more accessible to the public. He suggested the guide should include the
phrase, "open the PDF in a new window". The file is very large. The subsections are a
very good solution.
Victoria Castello, 406 Seacrest Blvd, agreed there was progress with the agenda and
commended staff for dealing with the large amount of information in the agenda. Mayor
Taylor noted it was the Commission's responsibility to review all the information.

9. PUBLIC HEARING
7 P.M. OR AS SOON THEREAFTER AS THE AGENDA PERMITS
A. Conduct Impasse Hearing and resolve open issues to settle SEIU - Blue Collar
Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Attorney Cherof explained the procedure that SEIU would make the first presentation
and then the City Manager's bargaining team would offer its response. There would
then be public discussion and comment. The Commission would then deliberate and
decide the four impasse issues.
Carl Booth, Chief Negotiator for SEIU/FPSU, reviewed the impact of the current
economic crisis and that it was not specific to the City of Boynton Beach. Response to
the crisis must include cooperation of affected workers to ensure respect for basic
principles of fairness and limit expenditures with a minimum of service interruptions.
The City's idea of reducing revenues was to protect and reward a privileged minority of
employees while forcing cuts on the majority. Money was found to retain generous
executive compensation packages and raises for police and fire, but financial hardship
was claimed in the negotiations for general employees. Mr. Booth contended the City's
position was unwise and unfair. The service provided by general employees is just as
vital and necessary as public safety and top level administration. Many classes of the
employees generate revenue for the City.
General employees were being asked to make a substantial investment in the City, but
the City would be making no investment in the employees. A wage freeze creates a
substantial loss to the employee that extends over a long period of time. Mr. Booth
stressed monies were found to restore a deferred compensation plan for executive
employees and raises for police and fire while no monies were available for the general
employees. Mo~ies should be fairly distributed to all employees. A City without water
and sanitation services is as much at-risk as it would be without police and fire services.
Mr. Booth pointed out the adopted budget includes a small portion of the oversized fund
balance of $23 million while only 10% or approximately one-third of the amount is
required for the emergency reserve fund balance. Several million dollars remain in an
undesignated Solid Waste Fund balance as a result of the productivity of general
employees in that department. It was indicated that $2.1 million was saved as a result
of a soft hiring freeze over the last year, but the monies were ignored in this year's
budget. He contended some of the expenditures in the budget could be delayed to free

up more funds for employee wages. There have been significant concessions by the
Union beyond the issues at impasse. The Union would work with the City to continue to
reduce expenditures.
The Union would agree to a wage freeze for the year with a 5% increase at the end of
the fiscal year. the 5% isa negotiable issue. The City should continue to pay the full
cost for employee health insurance and keep current time-and-a-half pay for holidays
with no reduction to straight time. Also the Union's position was the City should pay
employees for their full day on paid holidays, not just eight hours and agree to reduce 9
weeks of severance pay to two weeks, but not eliminate it all together.
Mike Osborn, Union Steward, spoke about the concessions that had been made by the
Union during the negotiations. First, task employees are not allowed to use emergency
vacation during holidays. Second, there would be no 5% increase in pay for training in
a higher job classification and no certification bonuses. The bonus days for not using
sick time would reduce from four to three. Those employees working ten-hour days
would only receive 24 hours compassionate leave while eight-hour employees receive a
full three days. The boot allowance would be discontinued and a shoe truck would be
utilized for safety boots. Tool replacement for fleet mechanics was cut $450 a year. A
uniform sweatshirt would be eliminated each year. The Union had proposed that the
employees be permitted to wear their own jackets and hats and the City would not have
to fund jackets, hats and sweatshirts. The City insisted the provision remain. The
employees gave up their longevity bonuses and a printed copy of the contract. The City
has allowed taking a one-hour lunch rather than a half-hour lunch and to use
emergency vacation on~the-spot four times a year, rather than calling in with the 24 hour
maximum. Mr. Osborn recalled previous concessions had been made with the
indication that other employees would be making the same concession, but only blue
collar workers were affected.
The employees wanted to be paid for the holidays as done in the past at time-and-a-
half. Supervisors have been allowed to take the holidays off requiring a blue collar
worker to stay an additional eight hours on the holidays. Mr. Osborn indicated the
employees who work ten-hour days should be paid ten-hours holiday pay and avoid
having to use two hours vacation. The Union asks to keep two weeks of severance
pay. The current contract provides nine weeks pay and the City proposes no severance
pay, while some management employees receive three months severance pay. He
reminded the Commission that 60% of the employees live within the City and any loss
of jobs can have an economic impact for the entire City.
The Union proposed the City continue to pay 100% of the insurance cost. Employees
are aware of the rising health insurance cost because the co-pays and deductibles have
doubled over the last few years. Only one insurance plan is currently being offered that
should have benefitted the City and reduced cost while the employees pay more for
deductibles and co-pays and family coverage increased. Mr. Osborn submitted that the
9
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
statistics also reveal that when employees share in the cost of the medical coverage the
municipalities pay a share of the family coverage.
Another issue was to make the changes retroactive to October 1,2009. The City waited
until the end of July to set dates to begin negotiations while the Union had been
requesting meetings in April. The City started with 23 changes out of 54 articles. Only
one of the proposals benefitted the employees with a one-hour lunch as opposed to a
half-hour. The Union brought seven proposed changes and three would have saved the
City money. The. blue collar workers were the first to address the issue of Automatic
Vehicle Locating system (AVL) at a cost of $12,000 a year to monitor the program.
Returning to the old log system was suggested but it was declined. Another issue was
an employee charged with a felony being out of work without pay pending disposition of
the case. One of the blue collar workers had been without pay for two years and had
lost his home. He opined that more was being taken from the blue collar workers than
any other workers. Mr. Osborn hoped the Commission would consider the impact on
the workers.
Mayor Taylor established the felony charge spoken of was dog fighting. Commissioner
Rodriguez developed the fact no employees had been laid off over the past three years.
Mr. Booth responded with the economic crisis layoffs could be done in the future.
Attorney Cherof, on behalf of the City Manager's bargaining team, named the members
of the negotiating team. An overview of the responsibility of the Commission at the
impasse hearing and the City's proposal was given. It involved maintaining the wages
at the current levels for the duration of the collective bargaining agreement expiring on
September 30, 2010. The Union proposes the same package that was agreed upon
with police and fire. He noted the police and fire had ongoing agreements that entitled
them to base wage increases. They agreed to defer those increases. The impact of
allowing the wage 'increase at the end of the contract would cost approximately
$409,000.
Sharyn Goebelt reviewed comparisons with surrounding cities and municipalities. Most
positions are competitively paid, mostly in the top third. Those at the bottom of the pay
scale 'could be attributed to a new hire and some are lower level, entry level positions
with no skills required. Internal employees are considered first for arr promotions. Ms.
Goebelt reviewed the statistical data that established the City paid competitively.
Commissioner Rodriguez noted that out of 25 salaries, Boynton Beach ranked first, or
second on 11 posffions. Ms. Goebelt indicated the gross wages of the blue collar
workers range from $24,000 to $78,500. Several are paid more than the supervisors
and professional staff.
Attorney Cherof pointed out the salary comparisons with other cities revealed other
municipalities are either at impasse or agreeing to freeze wages. The City's
recommendation was to keep the pay levels and not allow an increase on September
10
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
30th. The process of increases can be negotiated at the next round of negotiations. The
City's proposal on the holiday pay was if the employee is scheduled to work on a
holiday they will receive, in addition to pay for.hours worked, an additional eight hours of
pay at straight time. If the holiday falls when an employee is off it will be considered a
floating holiday and eight hours would be added to their vacation bank. It would not
reduce the number of paid holidays, rather adjusts the pay for those holidays. The cost
of holiday pay for those who work 10 hours a day is $14,900 with an annual cost of
$164,000. By shifting to eight hours pay it will save approximately $32,818.
A key component of the seniority layoff and recall issue would be layoffs would be made
within departments only. The impact of bumping throughout the City, cross-
departmental, is extremely disruptive to operations. The proposal would eliminate the
potential for disruption of services. The proposal does eliminate severance pay and
Attorney Cherof stressed that general employees not within a bargaining unit do not
receive any severance pay.
The City's proposal on insurance is the same as the white collar proposals. At some
point the Commission has to ask the employees to share part of the premium cost of
insurance as in the trend of the public sector. It was rejected by the Commission during
the white collar impasse.
On the issue of the duration of the agreement, the status quo should be maintained and
the monetary benefits should be established retroactively to October 1, 2009. The
employees who have received monetary benefits may have to pay back the monies. In
terms of parity all employees should be treated the same so any payments should be
reimbursed through payroll deduction and over time to lessen the impact.
With regard to the executive employee deferred compensation, those employees are
under contract with an appointment agreement with the City Manager from which a
portion is deferred to a retirement account. The department heads are allowed to
establish a retirement base through their retirement account like all other employees.
Ms. Goebelt stressed the medical coverage remained identical. An insurance
committee reviews the plans and the City did go out to bid for a 10.9% increase instead
of the initial 23% increase anticipated. The article relating to uniforms has not changed
other than giving another hat and taking one sweatshirt negotiated at the table. She
noted only one employee had received certification pay and there were no employees in
the acting-in-higher-capacity-trainee status.
Mayor Taylor questioned the total cost to be remitted if the terms were retroactive. Ms.
Goebelt reported eight employees had received longevity pay of $11,500, one
employee received certification pay. Holiday pay would be $20,000 and straight time
$17,000.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public comment.
Brian Edwards, 629 NE 9th Avenue, remarked the City spoke about reports while the
Union spoke about fairness and a concession will need to be made. There are revenue
generating opportunities that could pay for the concessions that are being asked.
Fairness should be criteria for all employees.
Gregg Russell, 4475 Marine Cove Circle, paid $330 a pay for family coverage
deducted from a pay base of $13.87 an hour. Personally, another $130 to ,$150 a pay
wO,uld. become a family crisis and an emotional setback.
Ron McCreif, 211 NE 9th Street, worked for the City for 20 years and had just received
his longevity pay. Longevity pay had been left out of the contract one year and he did
not receive his 15 year bonus. The benefits are shrinking with the holiday pay and
severance pay. The guys are working hard day-to-day in all kinds of weather and some
have two jobs to support themselves.
Herb Suss, 1711 Woodfern Drive, urged the Commission that the blue collar workers
are just as vital to the City as the police and fire. They are extremely loyal, provide
essential services and deserve fairness.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, supported time-and-a-half pay for those who work on
holidays. The differential between the eight and ten-hour days with the holidays should
be adjusted. He also suggested the City adopt a color scheme for the employees and
eliminate the uniform allowances.
Craig Watson, 228 Crossing Circle, cautioned the decision made by the Commission
would affect everyone in the United States.
Nick Skzrecki, 8003 Red Reef Lane, understood the economic crisis and everyone
should be paid for working hard and producing. There would be more foreclosures next
year. He did not feel someone arrested for a felony sexual assault or dog fighting
should be working in public parks or anywhere with children. Employees should be held
responsible. for their actions. His wife was a County worker who did not receive a raise
and had to pay more for benefits. The times require that the losses be absorbed by all.
Bill Curtain, 8010 Stirrup Cay Court, indicated his family had to cut water, cable and
electricity to make ends meet. People should not take for granted that they are
employed, because many people would be happy with any job. The taxpayers also
deserved fairness and any savings should be pursued for the benefit of both the
employees and the City.
Don Scantlan, 13 Cedar Circle, disagreed that pay comparisons were that determinate
because the City may have higher quality employees and more productive employees.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
On the fairness issue, 25% of medical costs was a pay cut and the CPI was flat and any
amount assessed should be offset with a pay increase. It is a cost controller for
employees to pay a share of their medical coverage.
No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed the public comment.
Commissioner Ross did not agree with the assertion that pay levels rank first or second.
Ms. Goebelt clarified as a general rule the pay levels are in the top one-third. The
workers are fairly paid based on the surveys.
Vice Mayor Hay commended both sides for being able to maintain the jobs. He could
not support increases at this time that would be passed on to the taxpayer. Vice Mayor
Hay asserted the ten-hour days were imposed on the employees by the Commission
and they should not be required to use their vacation time to maintain a forty-hour pay
check. He did support the pay freeze and would support 100% paid for the insurance.
Ms. Goebelt contended all employees should be paid for 88 holiday hours whether they
work eight or ten hours a day. If the employees who work ten-hour days are paid ten
hours holiday pay, they would be getting 120 holiday hours per year as opposed to
those working eight-hour days receiving 88 holiday hours per year.
Commissioner Rodriguez agreed with Vice Mayor Hay and added he did not feel money
should be taken back from employees. He did support the insurance being paid at
100% and holding the line on wages. He admonished the survival of the City is
dependent on the Commission holding the line on the budget. It would be five years
before things get better and the City had to be able to survive.
"
Mr. Bressner pointed out the Commission had budgeted the funds for the City to
continue at the 100% level. Commissioner Rodriguez was also in favor of a two-week
severance pay.
Mayor Taylor reiterated the Commission had opted to keep everyones' job. He agreed
there should be two week severance upon layoff. the insurance be kept at 100%, no
retroactive date for benefits paid this year, no increase in wages and that any layoffs not
result in inter-department bumping. He also thought all employees should receive eight
hours holiday pay.
Motion
Commissioner Rodriguez moved to take the City's position on the wages. Vice Mayor
Hay seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Motion
Commissioner Weiland moved to accept the City's changes. Vice Mayor Hay seconded
the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Attorney Cherof advised the seniority layoff had sub-provisions. The employee would
lose seniority if they have unexcused absences for 24 hours or more of work hours. Ms.
Goebelt clarified to avoid confusion between the ten-hour and eight-hour day all
references to days were converted to hours.
Mr. Osborn commented the Union had accepted the City's language. The only issue
was to have the two-week severance included in the City's proposal.
Motion
Vice Mayor Hay moved to accept the City's proposal with the exception the two-week
severance proposal of the Union would be accepted. Commissioner Ross seconded
the motion.

"Additional Design Regulations", requiring the height of 50% of required trees
be a minimum of two-thirds the height of the building, to allow the required

Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance 10-001 by title only on second reading.
There was consensus to hear Items B, C, D and E together and then vote on the issues
individually. Attorney Cherof announced the other three items to be considered.
An oath was administered to all those intending to testify.
Bonnie Miskel, on behalf of the applicant, advised they preferred the consolidation.
Kathleen Zeitler, City Planner, reviewed the master site plan for a marina yacht club
with 320 dry slips and 35 wet slips for a total of 75,000 square feet of building area
onsite. She reviewed the various buildings proposed and parking allocations and
located the various structures on the site. Many steps had been taken to protect the
adjacent residential neighborhoods through height and setback requirements, increased
landscaping and design and operational requirements for a marina use in an IPUD
zoning district. There would be restricted access from Dimick Road, limited accessory
uses and outdoor activities, no live-aboard boatels or public access to the boat ramp
were pro'posed. Noise levels were addressed to be comparable to a car without backup
beeping. Therewould be no outdoor loudspeakers or music and conservation for water
recycling was proposed. The building openings are oriented to the interior of the site
and the buildings were designed with additional regulations for compatibility with
adjacent residential land uses. The decorative features and colors would reduce mass
to have a more residential look. Staff recommended the utilities be located
underground along the north side of Dimick Road. The boat storage facility did not
15
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
meet IPUD setback requirements. The applicant had requested relief based on
additional planting and buffering in excess of Code requirements. Staff recommended
the plantings be revised to establish more dense plantings with a more tiered effect
along the perimeter buffers. The project would benefit the City and provide economic
growth to the tax base. It would also increase the City's water-based industry.
The height is out-of-scale with the neighborhood and it is anticipated benefits may not
outweigh its potential negative impact on the neighborhoods. Staff could not support
the height variance of 22 feet and recommended a condition of approval that the
applicant reduce the height to comply with the maximum height allowed in an IPUD
district or obtain variance relief. Staff recommended approval of the project contingent
on rezoning of the property and subject to satisfying the Conditions of Approval. The
Planning and Development Board also recommended approval. Condition of Approval
33 could be deleted based on confirmation from PalmTran that no business stops or
upgrades would be required in the area. It was recommended that 18 months be given
for completion of the project.
Ms. Miskel reviewed that the State recognized the waterfront is a very important
resource, vital to the tourist industry and county, state and local budgets. It was also an
important issue for environmentalists and related manatee deaths. The plan
development was the Manatee Protection Plan that was adopted by Palm Beach
County that limited the number of docks and marinas across the State of Florida. A
map was developed of the various areas and Boynton has two siting areas within the
entire waterfront. . The green area is the preferred site and is right across from the Inlet.
Ken Carlson, Architect for the project, identified and described the proposed buildings
including the buffering and parking displayed in a PowerPoint presentation.
Ms. Miskel continued by reviewing the requests of the applicant in addition to the
rezoning. In conjunction with the height exception, she described the surrounding uses
and properties. The nearest point of the buildings to adjacent property owners was over
1 00 feet. On the north the division would include a six foot concrete wall, extensive
vegetation, a driveway and a large open green area. The nearest building on the south
was 150 feet. There was only one residential building that faces the proposed site and
the remaining buildings would have no visibility of the proposed project. There are a
couple residential lots that are undeveloped. There is a 30 foot right-of-way, Lake
Drive, with more than 15 feet on each side of the Drive. There is more than 65 feet
between the proposed building and the residential building to the east.
The requested height extension is low by industry standards. Boats now have radar
and other improvements that require more clearance to store. To accommodate the
bigger boats marinas are providing four levels with the bottom two for the taller boats
and smaller boats in the upper two levels. Reducing the storage facility to 45 feet would
eliminate two tiers of boats. Due to size there would be fewer boats on the lower levels
16
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19,2010
,
and the reduction to 45 feet would create an overall storage reduction of more than 50%
of the total number of boats to be stored at the requested height. The use is unique and
based on the function of the operation as a parking lot for boats.
One of the conditions that the Planning and Development Board felt was important was
the vegetation along the perimeter. The owners on Dimick Road are more likely to have
their vision obstructed with landscaping the closer they are to the property. The
applicant had agreed to put the power lines underground to be able to plant taller trees
along the perimeter and plant more dense vegetation to screen the buildings.
Ms. Miskel summarized the applicant was requesting a couple variances and relief from
one of the IPUD regulations. They requested one building to have a height of 66 feet 1
inch. All other buildings are under the 45 foot maximum. The criteria has been met
because it is a unique building structure and use that is not unique to the rest of the
City. The green area as designated in the Manatee Protection Plan is the only place
within the City to locate the use. If the height exception is denied the Commission
would be precluding the applicant from building the use. Other municipalities have
recognized the marina buildings need to be taller and a rectangular use.
The other variance relates to the height of the trees required in the foundation planting.
With the additional height the foundation trees would need to be 45 feet and may be
impossible to find. To mitigate the smaller trees, the applicant would plant taller trees
around the perimeter. Lastly, the setback requirement for one of the buildings is
required to be larger based on the size of a perimeter building and the applicant is
requesting the setback remain at the 30-foot requirement. The privacy issue would be
mitigated by the fact there are no windows in the building. There is also agreement to
put trees on the neighbor's property to the south to minimize any of the negative visual
impacts.
The newest equipment is being installed. The setbacks exceed anything in the
community. The site is further limited by where the Department of Environmental
Protection would allow boat activity. The position of the buildings was fixed by the
availability of having an opening on the water. The opening cannot be moved in either
direction and precludes any repositioning of the buildings on the site.
Mr. Breese noted the architect had done an excellent job in designing the building. The
two variances requested deal with the landscaping and height of the one building. Staff
agreed with the landscaping variance if the building variance is granted. In regard to
the height, staff viewed the need for the height as being based on the economics of the
project which is not considered in a variance application and staff review. The project
could be built without the top two tiers of boat storage, but the economics of the project
prohibit less storage space. No variance has been granted to the height of ar IPUD
project to meet compatibility with adjacent properties. If the variance is granted it would
give special privileges to the applicant. Staff does not believe the lower height would
17
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
deprive the applicant the right to develop the property. The height extension would
tower over the properties to the south and east and would not meet the compatibility
requirements. Staff recommended denial of the height variance and granting of the
landscape variance. Commissioner Weiland contended with the clos.est residence over
100 feet from the building the additional height still would not be towering over the
neighbor. Vice Mayor Hay remarked the vacant lots could be developed with single-
family homes.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing.
Brian Edwards, 629 NE 9th Avenue, commented the one building is huge. He urged
the Commission to listen to staff and the citizens. The decision was made to not
exceed 45 feet when the IPUD was created and the proposed variance should not be
granted. It should never have gotten to the Commission and does not support the plan
for the Federal Highway Corridor. Commissioner Weiland mentioned the downtown
corridor was changed from the original 45 feet to 165 feet and he had voted against the
change.
Mike McCleary, 2600 Lake Drive, a resident in the neighborhood, pointed out the area
is single-family, old Florida homes. He noted the condo project currently in foreclosure
would never get developed if it is sandwiched between two boat storage facilities. He
also indicated Gateway Marina is not fully occupied, even with new docks and
improvements. The area is not an inlet, rather a spillway and n9t navigable for small
boats. Sea grass planted to improve the water quality would be destroyed with more
boat traffic into the inlet. The applicants want the building taller to make more money.
He supported maintaining the 45-foot limit. The entire area is eco-sensitive and studies
should be done on the impact of the project to the eco system.
Nancy Chandler, 914 NE ih Street, commented it was a beautiful project, but the
height is a problem. IPUDs have fewer restrictions to encourage development within
the City. The 45 feet is a concession in residential neighborhoods. She was concerned
with the precedent being set since the variance was not based on a hardship it could
not be restricted to the one project.
Tony Mauro, a resident of the area, agreed it was a dilemma. The area suffers with no
identity and the neighborhood is deteriorating and has safety issues. The structure is
big. It is a sign of life and development that will raise property values and be a model
project for the City of Boynton Beach. It has been designated a marina district. The
vegetation will greatly enhance the entire area and the structures would not be
eyesores. The underground utility lines would be a huge improvement to the
neighborhood. He agreed with the project because it would give identity to the area,
promote business and raise the value of the entire neighborhood.

Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
Michael Weiner, representing Bob Buchenberge, a property owner at the end of Dimick
Road and Lake Drive, supported the rezoning and the site plan. Most of the properties
are long and narrow and redevelopment is difficult. They applauded the Commission
and staff for looking at creative ways to redevelop the area and spark some activity in
the area.
Otto Spielbichler, 621 Shore Drive, had issues with the buildings. He asked that
consideration be given to the fact it is an environmentally sensitive area and part of the
reason manatees are present. The boats at Gateway Marina are small because the
water is shallow and larger boats cannot get under the fixed-span bridge during high
tide. The larger boats may have to go north or south to the other inlets to access the
ocean.
Victor Norfus, 261 N. Palm Drive, supported keeping the current height limitations and
making space for additional boats over the parking lot area, and accommodating the
number of boats to make it economically feasible.
Harry Woodworth, 685 NE 15th Place, did not hear any justification for the variance. .
He suggested eliminating one of the two bottom levels with fewer boat slips. The
variance is an economic issue. Granting the variance will set a precedent that will
continue down the waterway and get taller and taller. He urged the Commission to not
allow the variance and eliminate the fear of future development for residential owners in
the area.
Herb Suss, 1711 Woodfern Drive, expressed concern with the sand bar and sea grass
creating a hazard. He asked the Commission to listen to the people and not allow the
height variance.
Ms. Miskel defended staff for requiring the developer to talk to the neighbors. The staff
has consistently been concerned about the neighbors. She stressed the City created
the site in their Comprehensive Plan and it can only be done in the green zone. The
site is the largest undeveloped site in the green zone. The Plan encourages water uses
and it is an important element to the City. It has been limited to the few who can afford
waterfront property. The proposed project would give access to many more to the
water. The users of the facility will bring in a great deal of disposable income to spend
within the City of Boynton Beach. The proposed project could be assessed six times
the current taxable base and will employ 30 to 35 workers. The function of the building
required 320 dry slips. The applicant requests granting the variances and rezoning.
She also thanked the community for their input and working with the developer on the
project.
Commissioner 'Ross agreed it is a dilemma. The residents are concerned and there are
environmental issues to be addressed. It would be a nice addition to the CRA district.
Mayor Taylor noted an environmental study had been done and there was not a sea

grass, issue at the site. A study done on the Inlet revealed that Manalapan and Ocean
Ridge did not want the Inlet widened. The proposal accommodated upscale large boats
that would not have a problem navigating the Inlet like smaller boats. The really large
boats can afford to go north and south for access to the ocean. It will be very upscale.
Mayor Taylor offered the suggestion that the height exception could be limited to the
green zone and added to the ordinance to avoid setting any type of precedent for future
development. Property values will increase in the neighborhood. He supported the
project and felt it would enhance the City and the area.
Commissioner Rodriguez disclosed he had met with Ms. Miskel and the developer to
discuss the project. It will increase the tax base and create jobs. However, it is a
residential neighborhood that was engaged in creating the plan that should be
protected. He could not vote against the citizens who create the IPUD.
Vice Mayor Hay did not want to change from 45 feet to 67 feet. He would agree with
the Mayor's suggestion that the language include the height could only be increased in
a green zone. Increasing the tax base and creating jobs is good for the City.
Mayor Taylor recalled all the citizens were not against the project. Some of the
residents supported the project.

Hanna Matras, Senior Planner, advised the site plan had expired in 2007, a victim of the
real estate collapse. The applicant has resubmitted plans for a medical use office and
would require a change from Special High Density Residential to Local Retail

Motion
Commissioner Rodriguez moved to hear public audience first. Commissioner Ross
agreed since the audience had been waiting a long time. Vice Mayor Hay seconded the
motion.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public audience.
Craig Goldstein, owner of Westway Towing in Fort Lauderdale, had 55 trucks and
serviced 14 cities for the last 20 years. Annually, $450,000 was spent on franchise fees
to different cities. Two years ago he had proposed a way for the City to generate
monies. Mr. Goldstein contended the existing rotation contract would continue to cost
the City money instead of accepting $500,000 over a five year term with franchise fees.
Heavy-duty tows and storage would continue to be an expense of approximately
$50,000 annually saving $250,000 over five years for a total of $750,000. He urged the
Commission to think about the value of the contract. He estimated at least 10 other
companies would like to bid on the City contract. Mr. Goldstein wanted the Commission
to go through the bid process and allow the tow companies to propose the potential
savings. He also proposed if the Commission stays with the original agreement without
the franchise fee, that two other vendors be allowed on the rotation list.
Commissioner Weiland advised there are 37 municipalities in Palm Beach County and
only four are paid franchise fees.
Greg Margoff, City Towing, Incorporated, Boynton Beach, was on the Sheriff
Department's rotation list. He agreed with the rotation list, but noted two of the
companies on the list were recently sold and the opportunity should be given to add two
more vendors. As an existing tow company for many years, he wanted the opportunity
to be added. He had a County and City of Boynton Beach business tax receipt.
Warren Kelly, Priority Towing, had been in the business for 20 years and did not agree
with a fra'nchise tax. He contended it was a hidden tax that would pass to the public
who Ultirpatetv payfhe to"Xing bills. A franchise fee would create a monopoly. Mr. Kelly
supported a loW bid contract to pass the savings to the public. Fairness would be to
allow other vendors into the rotation and result in fairness to the public. If $100,000
would be paid for a franchise fee, the price could be negotiated much lower and still tow
the City vehicles free or discounted rates.
Brian Edwards, 629 N.E. 9th Avenue, supported accepting the franchise fee. It was a
confusing issue, but appeared to be an opportunity to collect revenue. He suggested
staff should attempt to educate the public's understanding of the issue.

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
Edward Coh~n, owner of Charley's Tow Trucks, was present. They supported the
rotation system and requested the opportunity to be included in the rotation. The
company was a minority""owned family business and had two locations within the City of
Boynton Beach. The principals have 20 years of experience in towing and are on the
rotations for other municipalities and the County. He was the exclusive AAA vendor for
the Boca Haton/Delray area. He urged the Commission to keep the rotation system in
place and expand the rotation list.
Raymond Smith, owner of Gardens Towing, lived in Boynton Beach and had done
business in the City for over five years. He recommended continuing the rotation
program and giving the opportunity to add vendors to the list. A franchise fee would
take business from six or potentially more businesses that have been serving the needs
of the citizens.
Buck Buchanan, 807 Ocean Inlet Drive, contended the Resolution took $250,000 of
taxpayer money and threw it away. He proposed a value be set for the contract and
divided among the number of vendors on the rotation list. He felt it was not any different
than a vendor getting a license to sell hot dogs at an event. Commissioner Weiland
suggested it was extortion by taxation. Mr. Buchanan opined the current system
subsidized six companies approximately $20,000 a year.
Ms. LaVerriere explained in 2005 the original RFP had eight respondents. One did not
respond timely and was eliminated. The award was made to the other seven
respondents. There was no intent to have eight.
Commissioner Rodriguez noted he was previously against the franchise fee and
supported the viability of small businesses. He was now concerned with funding the
City with $30M for a police facility in a shopping center. Commissioner Rodriguez now
supported a franchise fee whether it was from one or several vendors.
Vice Mayor Hay was in favor of some type of franchise fee. He thought staff should
review the information and submit a proposal with a franchise fee for the vendors on the
rotation list and he favored adding two more. Commissioner Rodriguez requested staff
also recommend the number of vendors to be utilized. Ms. LaVerriere advised ideally it
is six, but no more than eight. Ten would be too difficult to manage.
Commissioner Ross recalled she had continually been advocating for a franchise fee.
She was concerned with the small businesses and admitted it was hard to reconcile the
two scenarios. The City did need to generate revenues. Ms. LaVerriere mentioned
staff had recommended the exclusive franchise or non-exclusive franchise with two or
three vendors requiring an RFP as it was presented at a previous meeting.
Mayor Taylor declared there was consensus that there be a rotation list, but the vendors
would be charged a fee. Mr. Bressner advised it could only be two or possibly three

vendors under a franchise arrangement. Mayor Taylor maintained he was attempting to
help the small businessman who had been helpirig the City for many years.
Erik Cacuso, Priority Towing, advised the City of Lake Worth had six vendors on a
rotation that did not have the proper classifications and equipment. His company could
offer all the serviges.
Vice Mayor Hay inquired'if the six vendors on the list could all do the same type of work.
Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator, advised Eastern Towing did not tow "C"
vehicles nor did Blake's or Scott's. He also noted the fact companies were sold did not
have any bearing on the rotation. Zucalla, Beck and Emerald could tow all vehicles.
Ms. LaVerriere explained the tracking of the rotation list was being done manually
through the dispatch center. Vice Mayor Hay wanted six or eight vendors with some
sort of fee being charged using and RFP.

Vice Mayor Hay moved to go RFP, with six to eight, with a franchise fee. Commissioner

Depending on the Commission's direction, staff will then request the Commission
to;
1. Approve an Agreement to occupy Renaissance Commons.
2. Amend the Capital Improvement Plan to purchase and/or build out the

3. Authorize the necessary financing for the estimated costs and related
interest.
4. Authorize the procurement of required design and construction services.
Motion
Commissioner Weiland moved to limit discussion and debate to what was approved at
the December 1st meeting. The agenda item was to consider alternatives under the
proposal to relocate Police Headquarters in Renaissance Commons and authorize
negotiations. On December 1 st it was moved to deny the matter going forward with a
referendum question on the ballot in March and moving forward with negotiations
whether it was a lease or buy and financing. Commission gave staff direction to enter
into negotiations with Renaissance Commons and that should be discussed tonight.
Commissioner Rodriguez confirmed as a Commissioner he could make any motion he
wished.
Attorney Cherof replied it depended on the motion and whether it was in order or not.
The Chair would have to rule. If Commissioner Weiland made a motion to limit the
discussions and it passed, it could limit Commissioner Rodriguez's subsequent motions.
Commissioner Weiland reiterated his motion to limit discussion and debate on the topic
of how the motion was made on December 1st to discuss a lease or buy.
Vice Mayor Hay seconded the motion.
Commissioner Rodriguez inquired if the options pres,ented by the City Manager on the
proposal had been eliminated based on the motion. Commissioner Weiland and
Commissioner Ross replied they were irrelevant. Attorney Cherof responded the item
on the agenda is to consider the alternatives of entering into a leaS$6r purchasing the
office space outright. It is consistent with the motion. Commissioner Rodriguez noted
the City Manager also referenced doing nothing or postponing the decision and asked if
those options were viable under the discussion. Attorney Cherof advised not if the
motion passed.

Commissioner Weiland's motion.
Commissioner Rodriguez commented the motion was beyond his comprehension when
citizens have consistently fought against this action. He remarked, "something stinks
about this deal. It smells bad here."
Commissioner Weiland contended Commissioner Rodriguez was incorrect. The motion
was made on December 1 st and had passed 3-2. The Commission creates policy and
directs staff. It was clearly not being followed in the agenda item before the
Commission.
Victoria Castello, a resident, agreed something seemed wrong. If it was put on the
agenda incorrectly then it should be deferred.
Commissioner Rodriguez contended it was one of the biggest transactions the City
would ever make. It would ruin the east side of the City and the Renaissance Center.
Again, the City of Boynton Beach would be the laughing stock of Palm Beach County.
Steve Holzma,n, 206 W. Ocean Avenue, viewed Commissioner Weiland's motion as
outrageous and limiting options. The lease or purchase terms may not be agreeable
and the City is committed to one or the other.
Attorney Cherof explained the limitation on what could be discussed and debated is not
dispositive as to the conclusion of the lease negotiations. Once staff was directed to
engage in the negotiations, the scope of the negotiations clarified and after completion
of the negotiations, a lease document would be returned to the Commission for review
and a vote. It may be accepted or denied or further negotiated. The action before the
Commission was procedural in nature and not dispositive of the lease agreement.
Mr. Holzman inquired if the Commission could renegotiate to do nothing or move into a
buy provision or move forward with the lease terms. Attorney Cherof indicated any of
those scenarios could occur. Mr. Holzman questioned why the Commission would limit
the discussion. Commissioner Ross responded it was the policy that was set on
December 1st. Mr. Holzman argued the option to do nothing should be in~luded,
especially since it was not stated in the agenda. Deciding the issue late in the meeting
and without the public present was outrageous. Commissioner Weiland pointed out the
Commission did not make up the agenda, the City Manager and staff did it. Mr.
Holzman countered the Commission approves the agenda in the beginning of the
meeting.
Mayor Taylor would not support the motion on the floor because he had questions on
what was presented by the City Manager.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission January 19, 2010
Boynton Beach, FL Victor Norfus, 261 n. Palm Drive, disagreed with the motion because it limited the
discussion to the lease or purchase and limits the available options.
Brian Edwards, (329 NE 9th Avenue, agreed with Commissioner Rodriguez and did not
agree with leasing the space and move the police facility. He thought it was a waste of
time when the overwhelming majority of the public did not want to move the Police
Department to Renaissance Commons.
Commissioner Weiland noted twelve people in the audience out of 65,000 residents
was not a majority.
The motion passed 3-2. (Mayor Taylor and Commissioner Rodriguez dissenting)
Mr. Bressner reviewed the staff report with the options of entering into a 20-year lease
with an option to purchase or to purchase the required space outright. There were
variables proposed. Staff focused on the 20-year cost and $8 million estimated cost of
the construction for improvements to the office space. The comparison, based on the
amortization of 20 years for the purchase of the property and the construction cost
compared to the lease option revealed both options would cost a total of $41 million.
The building did provide the option not to acquire all 65,000 square feet at the initiation
of the project. There was a reservation to purchase or lease a smaller amount with an
opportunity for later expansion. Staff used 61,000 square feet because it was felt a first
floor presence was necessary for public access to the building and an efficient workflow.
Purchasing or leasing less space in the beginning would bring the initial cost down. The
financing technique. Would be capitalized interest by paying only on the interest for the
first two or three years and then start drawing down the principal. It would retire the debt
in a shorter period. The policy decision by the Commission dictated the type of
financing to be used. The budget was adjusted to remove the debt service and the
referendum option. Estimated leasing costs for the first three years were provided and
Mr. Bressner noted the purchasing expenses would not appear until the third year.
Leasing would require a millage increase of .21 mills for the first year, .36 for the second
year and .59 for the third year. If purchased, there would be very little increase in the
millage for the first two years and the third year would require a .63 millage rate
increase. This would give the necessary working capital to either pay the lease or
purchase the shell space for the $12 million cost the developer proposed. The
estimates did not include a flat $40 a square foot. The per square foot cost varies with
the proposed use of space ranging from $30 to $120 a square foot and averages $50 a
square foot. There would be added security costs of $500,000 and a partial generator
for back-up power of $400,000 and $500,000 for the green allowance. A construction
contingency of 15% was added plus the cost of furnishings and other build-out costs of
$1.2 million for a total of $8 million.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, FL January 19, 2010
Jim Comparato, Compson Associates, 1500 Gateway Boulevard, did not understand
the fiscal-year timing. One option was a free lease for six months. He was not familiar
with the capitalized interest financing that allows for two years of interest free payments.
Mr. Atwood explained enough money would be borrowed up front to pay the interest in
the first two years. It would be a budgeted item.
Mr. Comparato surmised that based on that type of financing the 2010 budget would not
be affected and the first budget years would be 2011, 2012 with no net effect until 2013.
Mr. Atwood concurred that was possible. Mr. Comparato contended using the six
months free lease would be the first year. Mr. Atwood agreed the fiscal year should be
moved down one year and delay the borrowing of any funds. Mr. Comparato estimated
the savings would be $468,000.
Commissioner Rodriguez questioned the benefit of getting six months free rent. Mr.
Bressner responded it would be a new facility. Commissioner Rodriguez noted the build
out was anticipated for 12 to 18 months and asked how long construction of a stand
alone building would be. Mr. Livergood estimated 24 to 30 monthS. Commissioner
Rodriguez inquired if the property would then come off the tax roll. Mr. Bressner replied
if the property was leased taxes would have to be paid. If purchased, the City would
attempt to exempt the taxes because the City would not be paying taxes.
Commissioner Rodriguez pointed out the goal was to increase the tax base, but this
project would reduce the tax base.
Mayor Taylor questioned when the increased millage rate would be anticipated. Mr.
Bressner alleged it was possible any increase could be postponed a year to 2011/2012.
Commissioner Rodriguez noted the loss of the tax revenue would also result in a
millage, increase.
Mr. Bressner ~dvised the purchase option would be approximately $20 million with a
pay-off total of $41 million over a 20 year period. The cost to lease over a 20-year
period would also be $41 'million. There is some scalability available by purchasing or
leasing less square footage initially.
Mayor Taylor's concerns were the debt service was removed from the budget and then
Mr. Comparato made an exceptional offer. Developers bring ,money to the City and
assist in keeping the millage rate lower. The Renaissance Ct>rtu~ons development is
an excellent improvement to the City. He was concerned with the projected millage
increases following the most recent tax increase. It may not be the best possible
solution and he supported a safety compound on City-owned land, but the price at
Renaissance was impressive. Mayor Taylor decided it was not the right year to
commence the project. Commissioner Weiland noted it would not cost the taxpayers
anything for the first 18 months. Commissioner Rodriguez speculated the City would be

collapsing in the next five years with the economic crisis. He suggested caution was
needed. It should be turned down because it is not a proper location.
Commissioner Ross disagreed and had received mixed. messages from staff and the
public both for and against the proposed site. She recalled Commissioner Rodriguez
had supported building a free-standing building in the downtown area without any
pricing information.
Commissioner Rodriguez recalled the first decision was to select a developer because
the matter was going to a referendum. He supported the only presentation that included
the downtown master plan. The citizens should have the right to decide with a
referendum.
Commissioner Ross clarified the Commission had voted to consider a Police
Department anywhere in the City that was viable and reasonable. It was a policy
decision. Mayor Taylor added the downtown proposal was not valid and should not
have been considered.
Motion
Commissioner Rodriguez moved to terminate negotiations immediately. The motion
died for lack of a second.
Vice Mayor Hay restated his opinion that initially he did not feel Renaissance Commons
was the appropriate location. He preferred the City-owned property on High Ridge
Road and Gateway. However, he voted based on the Commission's direction to staff to
limit the issue for discussion.
Commissioner Ross declared there was a sense of urgency. Commissioner Weiland
recalled the proposal from the City Manager at one point included moving City Hall also
to Renaissance Commons.
Mayor Taylor mentioned that decisions previously made did not include the financing
options and millqge rate increases. Mr. Bressner stressed there had to be a bond issue
to cover th~ cost and the debt service. There was urgency to move forward on some
solution for the space needs for the Police Department. They are operating in an
inadequate- facmty and difficult conditions. Commissioner Rodriguez revealed his
discussions with the Police Chief and officers did not support the urgency.
Commissioner Weiland added he had spoken with officers and they had no problem
with the move to Renaissance Commons. Mayor Taylor had received the same
message as Commissioner Rodriguez from the Chief and the Union would prefer to
wait. He still remained concerned about the cost and millage increases.

E. Discussion on the PAL program
(This item was added to the agenda at the request of Commissioner Rodriguez)
Mr. Bressner recalled the budgeted amount for the program had decreased from
$40,000 to $7,000 in the last fiscal year. Additional funding has been requested by Mr.
Sony Garcia that would have to be allocated from unobligated reserves by special
action of the Commission.
Vice Mayor Hay supported expenditure reductions within the Police Department to
continue to invest in the youth. Chief Immler responded the $7,000 allocated was not
the only source of funding for the PAL program. Donations, grants and other sources
net $60,000 to $75,000 a year for registration fees and equipment. He noted there were
sufficient funds to run the programs; basketball, football and cheerleading. The travel
portion of the competition would have to be cut and retain the basic program.
Commissioner Rodriguez favored the use of reserve funds to retain the program at the
previous level. Vice Mayor Hay agreed. Mayor Taylor could not support the use of the
funds. Commissioner Weiland contended it was not the PAL program's responsibility to
prevent kids from crime, it was the parents' responsibility. Commissioner Ross initiated
discussion for a lesser amount.

TABLED on January 5,2010.
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 09-044 by title only on second reading.
Mayor Taylor opened the issue for public hearing. No one came forward.
Motion
Commissioner Ross moved to remove Item 13.B from the table. Vice Mayor Hay
seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
Attorney Cherof explained the ordinance needed to conform to the variance request. It
would require that in the section relating to maximum height it read as follows: .. ."45
feet lesser height may be required for compatibility with adjacent development." Based
on the suggestion made earlier it should included. . . ";65 feet in green zone locations."
Motion
Vice Mayor Hay so moved. Commissioner Ross seconded the motion.
Ms. Miskel advised she had agreed with the INCA President that she would speak on
the matter for them. Their position was they did not want th,e height exception
anywhere else in the IPUD recognizing that the proposed site was legitimate based on
the size. INCA would prefer sites be considered on a site-by-site basis through the
variance process and had submitted a letter to Planning and Zoning. Ms. Miskel
contended the proposed site being the only site that could accommodate a large
building, would make the proposed amendment moot.
Mr. Rumpf agreed and commented it is currently in the ordinance that marina-type uses
are tied to the green zone alone, regardless of their height.
Attorney Cherof advised the condition on the previous variance was superfluous. It
should have been addressed earlier. Mr. Rumpf clarified it did not regard height, rather
the use in the green zone, still at 45 feet. Ms. Miskel emphasized the amendment was
not needed for the proposed site and use.
Motion
Commissioner Hay moved to remove. Commissioner Ross seconded the motion. The
motion passed unanimously.

VarionceAppfication
This variance application is submitted on behalf of Lancore Nursery, lLC ("PetitionerJl) for
property generally located on the east side of North Federal Highway, north of Dimick Road
("Property"). The Property has a land use designation of SHDR and a zoning designation of IPUD.
The Petitioner has submitted applications for site plan and conditional use approval concurrent
with this variance request. The Petitioner wishes to develop a 320 boat slip marina on the
Property. In order to develop the proposed marina, the Petitioner requests the approval of
variances from the following code sections:
Variance from Chapter 2, Section S.1.3- Maximum structure height - 45 feet to
permit a maximum structure height of 67 feet (the "Height Variance"),
Variance from Chapter 2, Section S.L4.g.9,{p) that requires the height of 50%
of the required trees or palms be a minimum of 2/3 of the height of the
building to permit the height of the required trees or palms be a minimum
height of 1/3 of the height of the building (the "Landscaping Variance").
As discussed in greater detail below, the above Variance request complies with the City's
variance review criteria. In particular, the Petitioner will demonstrate that: (a) special
conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the Property; (b) the special conditions
and circumstances do not result from the actions of Petitioner; (c) the granting of the Variance
will not confer on Petitioner any special privileges; (d) the literal interpretation would deprive
Petitioner of rights commonly enjoyed by others in the IPUD zoning district; {e} the Variance is
the minimum Variance that would make reasonable use of the land; and (f) the granting of the
Variance would be in harmony with the intent of the land development regulations.
Variance from Chapter 6, Section 5.L3 - Maximum structure height - 4S feet to permit a
maximum structure height of 67 feet (the "Height Variance").
A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or
building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the
same zoning district.
Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building involved and
are not applicable to other buildings in the same zoning district. The proposed marina is
being designed to accommodate a state of the art dry dock boat storage system. The facility
has been designed to utilize not only new technology but an enhanced design. The dry
storage facilities of the past have been boat barns. They are not concrete construction and
offer nothing in the way of architectural elements including projecting and varying facades,
faux windows, balconies, with the use of different construction materials to make the
facility not only more architecturally pleasing, but more compatible with residential. The
waterfront is limited to the area along the intra-coastal very much limiting where a marina
and dry storage facility can be located. Most of the waterfront is and has been developed to
serve a limited residential community. Although there are some that may prefer to locate
these types of uses away from the waterfront, water is the essential requirement for the
marina. Further, both the County and State have recognized that the waterfront uses such
as the marina and dry storage combined with other active waterfront uses are essential to
the economic survival of the County and State and must be utilized better.
The proposed facility and others like it, demonstrate that the use can be made more
compatible. An example of this type of facility is the Marina One facility in north Deerfield
Beach across from the upscale community of Royal Palm Yacht and Country Club. Marina
One also provides for 4 levels of stacking in a much more upscale building than the old boat
barn. Copies of the architecture are incorporated into a power point presentation which will
be presented at the hearing. like the subject property, the Marina One is significantly taller
than the 4S foot height limitation and yet is compatible with multi-million one story single
family homes across the canal (the Marina One height is approximately the same height as
the proposed dry storage). As we try to mitigate the use, we are required to increase the
cost of construction which combined with the waterfront property and use make for a very
expensive property and use. The upscale dry storage facility is much more expensive to
construct. The combination of added cost, limited waterfront and limited vacant parcels
drives the economic hardship. As this use cannot be moved across town to cheaper
industrial zoned land, the land conditions make the development of the marina/dry storage
unique with special conditions and circumstances associated to the use itself. The
economics of the use require a minimum of 4 levels of stacking necessary, In addition to the
architectural benefits of an upscale building, the concrete construction contains the noise
far better than the older boat barns.
Even the State of Florida and Palm Beach County acknowledge the uniqueness of the
waterfront use. In July 2008, the State of Florida and Palm Beach County adopted a Manatee
Protection Plan ("MAP") that among other things limited the number of wet and dry slips
and the location of such uses in the County, and the State of Florida. The City has only one
area within the City where such uses are preferred (See Exhibit "A"). As most of the area in
the green zone is improved, the Property is the only parcel large enough to accommodate
the dry storage/marina use, special conditions exist. There are no other real land areas that
could accommodate this use, the height is needed for this use to be achieved particularly
with all the compatibility requirements adopted within the IPUD,
B. The special conditions and circumstances do not result for the actions of the applicant.
The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of actions of the Petitioner. The
adoption of the green zone (limiting the areas within which the use may be situated) and
the substantial conditions within the IPUD (that must be met) are not the result of the
Petitioner, nor is the width of the land between Federal and the water. The size and shape
of the Property effect how it is able to be developed. Because of the elongated shape of the
Property, developable space is limited while accommodating required parking, drive aisle
widths and landscaping. Th.e proposed dry storage building is limited as to how it can be
situated on the site. The structure must be taller to accommodate the number of dry boat
storage slips and the new technology. The additional height is also needed to accommodate
the increasing sizes of boats. New boats which are being fabricated are much taller from the
hull to the top of the boat. The size and shape of the Property have necessitated the
Petitioner to increase the proposed hefghno accommodate the innovative automated boat
storage system and the needs of the boating public. Additionally, the Property's location
within the MAP further limiting the development potential of the Property as discussed
above.
C. Granting the variance requested variance will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, buildings or structures in the same
zoning district.
Granting of the Height Variance will not confer any special privilege on the Petitioner. The
use is permitted by conditional use approval. If other applicants can meet the requirements
of the code they could make such application. A portion of the height request is to enhance
the elevations to mitigate the height of the building. The neighboring property to the north
was approved for a height of approximately 50 feet which exceeded the height requirement
by approximately five feet. This request is similar. The Petitioner is asking for an additional
22 feet. Without the Height Variance, this building likely could not be built.
D. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the
Ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the Petitioner of the
ability to construct an allowable use within the IPUD zoning district and would work
unnecessary and undue hardship on Petitioner. There is no other category in the City that
would allow this use at the height required to build it. The facility is located within the green
zone area of the MAP. As there are few undeveloped parcels and no other undeveloped
parcel is of the size of this one, the use could likely not be constructed in the City. The IPUD
revised regulations require substantial construction and landscaping improvements to
mitigate proximity to residential. The cost of the improvements precludes a boat barn. The
waterfront is built out with significant residential. If this use cannot be constructed on one
of the largest undeveloped parcels, it would likely not be constructed anywhere. Therefore,
denial of this application will deny the petitioner of the right to develop a use provided for
within the IPUD zoning district.
E. The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of
the land, building or structure.
The proposed Height Variance is the minimum variance that will make the innovative boat
storage facility a possibility, thus successfully introducing this newer technology and design
to the City of Boynton Beach. This facility represents a more efficient, quiet and attractive
use of the Property, while still permitting the Petitioner to meet other City Code
requirements. Even the older boat barns are typically able to stack four (4) levels of boats.
This unattractive, inexpensive form of construction would likely not need a height variance
as the architecture provides no additional architectural elements as have been provided in
this application. The traditional boat barn, however, would not be architecturally
compatible within the IPUD and would likely not be approved. We are simply requesting the
ability to have the same number of levels of storage as the older boat barn facilities.
F. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
chapter and that such variance will not be injurious to the area invo(ved or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
The;granting of the Height Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose
of the Code. This Height Variance allows for the development of an attractive marina on
Federal Highway. Without the Variance the proposed structure would most likely not be
feasible. Design and function should be taken into account when developing along Federal
Highway, a major north/south roadway through the City. This proposed dry storage building
will not be injurious to those properties adjacent to the Property nor will the granting of the
Variance be injurious to the public welfare. The architecture and landscaping have been
designed to mitigate the height. This faciUty achieves that goal while being sensitive to the
surrounding community.
G. Variances to minimum fot area or (ot frontage requirements, that property is not available
from adjacent properties in order to meet these requirements, or that the acquisition of such
property would cause the adjacent property of structures to become nonconforming.
Applicant shaJl provide an affidavit with the application for variance stating that the above
mentioned conditions exist with respect to the acquisition of additional property.
Not Applicable.

EXHIBIT C
Variance from Chapter 6, Section 5.l.4.g,9.(p) that requires the height of 50% of the required
trees or palms be a minimum of 2/3 of the height of the building to permit the height of the
required trees or palms be a minimum height of 1/3 of the height of the building (the
"Landscaping Variance").
A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the lond, structure or
building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the
same zoning district.
Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building involved and
are not applicable to other buildings in the same zoning district. As previously mentioned,
the proposed marina is being designed to accommodate a state of the art dry dock boat
storage facility. As such, the proposed height of the building is 66 feet, 1 inch. Thus, the
required height of the trees would be approximately 43 feet. While it is not impossible,
albeit difficult to find 43 foot trees, it is highly impractical to relocate a tree of that size
without the tree dying. Few older trees of that size survive relocation, particularly when
one is relocating trees next to an area with heavy salt content. The applicant has submitted
cross sections showing line of sight perspectives from the adjacent neighbor's property.
Those cross sections demonstrate that the same goal can be accomplished by locating more
trees of a lesser height (between 20 to 30 feet in height) along the perimeter. The., interior
trees are for the most part only seen once one has entered onto the property. People that
are coming to the Property have no objection to seeing the bUilding. As such, if the goal is to
break the massing and screen the building from the neighbor's property, a greater number
of smaller trees along the perimeter will serve that goal. Additionally, the only types of
trees that are more readily portable at that height are palm trees which do not provide the
appropriate screening that is intended by the City Code.
B. The special conditions and circumstances do not result for the actions of the applicant.
The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of actions of the Petitioner. The
Code allows for 45 foot dry storage buildings. The tree height requirement was really
designed with the 45 foot height maximum in mind. A twenty to thirty foot tree can be
more readily found in the marketplace and is more likely to survive the relocation than a
larger older tree. Due to the height of the proposed marina, the required tree height would
only accommodate trees that provide little to no screening. Typically, the only trees that
would be able to meet this requirement are palm trees. Petitioner has provided a line of
sight analysis which demonstrates the proposed canopy trees along the perimeter
adequately meet the intent of this provision and provide better screening than the provision
from which relief is sought.
C. Granting the variance requested variance will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, buildings or structures in the same
zoning district.
Granting of the Landscape Variance will not confer any special privilege on the Petitioner.
Petitioner desires to appropriately screen the marina from the adjacent properties, however
the trees which would meet the height requirement would not provide the screening
necessary to meet the intent of the Code. Petitioner desires to develop an aesthetically
pleasing project which will provide lush landscaping and become an asset to the
surrounding community and City. There are very few locations that would accommodate a
marina and dry storage facility. As a result of the green zone requirement and the State's
limitation on the number of wet and dry slips available, the subject marina may be one of
the only marinas constructed within the City. By approving this request, the City is not
conferring a special privilege, but rather enabling a permitted use to be constructed,
meeting the spirit and the intent of the MAP plan, the IPUD and the City's Comprehensive
ptan encouraging a more active use of the waterfront.
D. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the
Ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the Petitioner of the
ability to appropriately screen the proposed marina and would work unnecessary and undue
hardship on Petitioner. As previously mentioned, the only trees that would meet the City's
height requirement are palm trees. These types of trees do not provide appropriate
screening. This provision was not originally in the IPUD zoning section but originated as a
result of the "big box" ordinance. Typical "big box" development is one to two stories tall.
There is no market impediment to finding canopy trees that can meet the 2/3 height
requirement for big boxes which would be a 20 to 2S foot tree, The height of the dry
storage facility is not comparable to the big box making this requirement impossible to
meet. The footprint of the entire marina project is approximately 75,000 square feet which
is substantially less than the big box, To hold the 2 uses to the same standard is not
equitable and does not meet the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan. If the goal is to
adequately screen the building, the cross sections adequately demonstrate how that can be
accomplished.
E. The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of
the land, building or structure.
The proposed Landscape Variance is the minimum variance necessary. The intent of this
code section IS to ensure that large buildings are appropriately screened from surrounding
uses, Petitioner feels that the intent of this section is being met by providing numerous
canopy trees along the property line as well as within the vehicular use area. As
demonstrated by the line of site analysis, the proposed marina will be appropriately
screened from the surrounding properties. The substitution of canopy trees for palm trees
with a greater quantity along the perimeter meets the City's intent.
F. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
chapter and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
The granting of the Landscape Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of the Code. As previously mentioned, Petitioner feels that the intent of the code is
being met through the substitution of more canopy trees along the perimeter and buffer.
As further demonstrated by the line of sight analysis, the proposed marina wlll be screened
from the adjacent properties and roadways.
G. Variances to minimum Jot area or lot frontage requirements, that property is not available
from adjacent properties in order to meet these requirements, or that the acquisition of such
property would cause the adjacent property of structures to become nonconforming.
Applicant shall provide an affidavit with the application for variance stating that the above
mentioned conditions exist with respect to the acquisition of additional property.
Not Applicable.

notice of concurrency approval (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from
Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division is required.
2. The property owner shall pay a sidewalk fee in the amount of $5,598.00 X
which represents the cost to the city for the construction of the sidewalk
abutting the property on Dimick Road and Lake Drive per LDR, Chapter 22,
Article I, Section 5 C2.
3. Provide documentation that existing 5' drainage easement per ORB 618, Page X
667 does not exist and/or has been vacated.
4. Provide a 12' DE for existing sewer on property between three story building X
and boat storage building.
FIRE
5. At the time of permitting, provide a CAD plan for this entire project. X
6. As noted on the plans, all buildings that require a Fire Sprinkler system are X
shown being fitted for one. This will require a current hydrant flow test that
shall be conducted by our office within six months of submittal of the
Sprinkler plans.
7. The Fire Hose Cabinets will not require fire hose. We will use our own in X
case of a fire, and unless there will be a trained fire reaction force we
discourage civilians from using these hoses to attack a fire. Simple standpipe
connections will suffice in place of the hose cabinets.
8. Prior to permitting, revise plans to provide more information about the Fuel X
Station (how the fuel will be dispensed, who will dispense it, where the
emergency shut downs will be located, what model of tanks will be used,
etc.).

PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
12. Revise site plan prior to permitting to note that development will be X
constructed in one (1) phase.
13. Revise site plan prior to permitting to note how designated loading area will X
be accessed by delivery trucks, and note no transient/temporary parking
needed for boat trailers due to no public boat ramp or customary use of boat
trailers on site.
14. Revise site plan prior to permitting to note nature of proposed uses, water X
access to public or just members, hours of operation, number of employees,
fueling and servicing of boats and equipment, all accessory uses proposed,
etc.
15. Some building setbacks do not meet the intent of the IPUD zoning district X
setback requirements in that they are not consistent with the existing setbacks
within the surrounding neighborhoods. The LDR states that perimeter
setbacks in the IPUD zoning district shall mirror setbacks of adjacent zoning
districts, with a minimum setback required for a single-family residence.
Structures on the perimeter of an IPUD project, in addition to the basic
setback requirements, must be set back one (1) additional foot for each one
(1) in height for the perimeter structures that exceed thirty (30) feet. Revise
on site plan the rear (east) setback of boat storage building and side (south)
setback of clubhouse to comply with IPUD requirements or obtain City
Commission relief for these setbacks.
DEPARTMENTS
16. Prior to permitting, revise site plan tabular information to include the
following: total building square footage proposed including a breakdown of
gross floor area of each floorlbuilding; and required (setbacks mirroring
adjacent development) and proposed setbacks.
17. Prior to permitting, revise building elevations of boat storage building as
follows to achieve more compatibility with adjacent residential architecture:
remove label of green screen, typ.; replace louver medallions to match other
medallions used on building; and identify all types of material proposed
(glass, metal, no score lines).
18. Prior to permitting, revise all elevations to note that all Spandrel glass shall be
designed to match the color of the Vision glass on the structures, so it is not
evident that they are false glass openings. Prior to permitting samples of the
proposed spandrel and vision glass shall be submitted to Planning & Zoning.
19. Prior to permitting, revise plans to reduce proposed height of boat storage
building to comply with IPUD zoning district height requirements, or obtain
variance approval.
20. Prior to permitting, revise plans to provide a cross-section of boat storage
building that indicates how high boats will be required to be stacked,
including overall building height and height of each stack.
21. The use of Sabal palms, Geiger trees, and Gumbo Limbo trees in the south
landscape buffer will not achieve the immediate barrier planting needed to
buffer/shield neighboring residential from any adverse effects of the proposed
marina. Barrier type perimeter landscape buffers will require plant material
other than Orange Geiger and Gumbo Limbo trees. Staff suggests replacing
Orange Geiger and Gumbo Limbo trees with alternative plant material in
these locations to provide a dense screen with a tiered effect, especially when
requesting relief from setback requirements for utilization of dense
vegetation. Staff recommends substituting Orange Geiger and Gumbo Limbo
trees with Traveller's Palms, Fish Tail Palms, Areca Palms, or White Bird of
Paradise Palms that fan out and spread. Prior to permitting, revise landscape
plan to provide recommended alternative trees to achieve the barrier-type
maximum screening requirement.
22. Required buffer wall is to match existing buffer wall on north property line.
Prior to permitting, revise plans to label buffer wall detail on sheet A2.2 and
include wall height, materials, color (to match building). Also depict and
label 6 foot buffer wall on landscape plans.

(2/3) of the height of the building. One (1) canopy tree or a cluster of three
(3) palm trees is required to be installed within the foundation planting area
every 20 feet on center along each fac;ade. Canopy and palm trees are to be
distributed along the entire fac;ade where foundation landscaping areas are
required, with understory plant material arranged in the areas between the low
growing shrubs and tree or palm canopies. Revise landscape plan to comply
with IPUD requirements for foundation plantings or obtain variance approval.
If variance relief is approved by the City Commission, note variance
application number, approval details, and approval date on landscape plan
prior to permitting.
24. Proposed planting within Dimick Road right-of-way will require approval X
from Director of Public Works (see Engineering staff). Submit a copy of
Director approval to plant in right-of-way.

EXHIBIT C
Variance from Chapter 6, Section 5.L4.g.9.(p) that requires the height of 50% of the required
trees or palms be a minimum of 2/3 of the height of the building to permit the height of the
required trees or palms be a minimum height of 1/3 of the height of the building (the
"Landscaping Variance").
A. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or
building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the
same zoning district.
Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the building involved and
are not applicable to other buildings in the same zoning district. As previously mentioned,
the proposed marina is being designed to accommodate a state of the art dry dock boat
storage facility. As such, the proposed height of the building is 66 feet, 1 inch. Thus, the
required height of the trees would be approximately 43 feet. While it is not impossible,
albeit difficult to find 43 foot trees, it is highly impractical to relocate a tree of that size
without the tree dying. Few older trees of that size survive relocation, particularly when
one is relocating trees next to an area with heavy salt content. The applicant has submitted
cross sections showing line of sight perspectives from the adjacent neighbor's property.
Those cross sections demonstrate that the same goal can be accomplished by locating more
trees of a lesser height (between 20 to 30 feet in height) along the perimeter. The,interior
trees are for the most part only seen once one has entered onto the property. Peo'ple that
are coming to the Property have no objection to seeing the building. As such, if the goal is to
break the massing and screen the building from the neighbor's property, a greater number
of smaller trees along the perimeter will serve that goal. Additionally, the only types of
trees that are more readily portable at that height are palm trees which do not provide the
appropriate screening that is intended by the City Code.
B. The special conditions and circumstances do not result for the actions of the applicant.
The special conditions and circumstances are not the result of actions of the Petitioner. The
Code allows for 45 foot dry storage buildings. The tree height requirement was realty
designed with the 45 foot height maximum in mind. A twenty to thirty foot tree can be
more readily found in the marketplace and is more likely to survive the relocation than a
larger older tree. Due to the height of the proposed marina, the required tree height would
only accommodate trees that provide little to no screening. Typically, the only trees that
would be able to meet this requirement are palm trees. Petitioner has provided a line of
sight analysis which demonstrates the proposed canopy trees along the perimeter
adequately meet the intent of this provision and provide better screening than the provision
from which relief is sought.
C. Granting the variance requested variance will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, buildings or structures in the same
zoning district.
Granting of the Landscape Variance will not confer any special privilege on the Petitioner.
Petitioner desires to appropriately screen the marina from the adjacent properties, however
the trees which would meet the height requirement would not provide the screening
necessary to meet the intent of the Code. Petitioner desires to develop an aesthetically
pleasing project which will provide lush landscaping and become an asset to the
surrounding community and City. There are very few locations that would accommodate a
marina and dry storage facility, As a result of the green zone requirement and the State's
limitation on the number of wet and dry slips available, the subject marina may be one of
the only marinas constructed within the City. By approving this request, the City is not
conferring a special privilege, but rather enabling a permitted use to be constructed,
meeting the spirit and the intent of the MAP plan, the IPUD and the City's Comprehensive
plan encouraging a more active use of the waterfront.
D. Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the
Ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
Literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the Petitioner of the
ability to appropriately screen the proposed marina and would work unnecessary and undue
hardship on Petitioner. As previously mentioned, the only trees that would meet the City's
height requirement are palm trees. These types of trees do not provide appropriate
screening. This provision was not originally in the IPUD zoning section but originated as a
result of the "big box" ordinance. Typical "big box" development is one to two stories tall.
There is no market impediment to finding canopy trees that can meet the 2/3 height
requirement for big boxes which would be a 20 to 25 foot tree. The height of the dry
storage facility is not comparable to the big box making this requirement impossible to
meet. The footprint of the entire marina project is approximately 75,000 square feet which
is substantially less than the big box. To hold the 2 uses to the same standard is not
equitable and does not meet the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan. If the goal is to
adequately screen the building, the cross sections adequately demonstrate how that can be
accom plished.
E. The variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of
the land, building or structure.
The proposed Landscape Variance is the minimum variance necessary. The intent of this
code section is to ensure that large buildings are appropriately screened from surrounding
uses. Petitioner feels that the intent of this section is being met by providing numerous
canopy trees along the property line as well as within the vehicular use area. As
demonstrated by the line of site analysis, the proposed marina will be appropriately
screened from the surrounding properties, The substitution of canopy trees for palm trees
with a greater quantity along the perimeter meets the City's intent.
F. The granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
chapter and that such variance will not be injurious to the area involved or otherwise
detrimental to the public welfare.
The granting of the Landscape Variance will be in harmony with the general intent and
purpose of the Code. As previously mentioned, Petitioner feels that the intent of the code is
being met through the substitution of more canopy trees along the perimeter and buffer.
As further demonstrated by the line of sight analysis, the proposed marina will be screened
from the adjacent properties and roadways.
G. Variances to minimum lot area or lot frontage requirements, that property is not available
from adjacent properties in order to meet these requirements, or that the acquisition of such
property would cause the adjacent property of structures to become nonconforming.
Applicant shall provide an affidavit with the application for variance stating that the above
mentioned conditions exist with respect to the acquisition of additional property.
Not Applicable.
