MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 19, 1983
Mr. Cheney stated this does not need to be on a concrete slab,
but it does need to be tied down for hurricane protection. He
talked to the Building Official this morning and he was going
to look at it again and meet with the students and owner of the
property. It would be best to be located in their own back
yard in view of control and insurance. He explained how if
this was placed on public property, we would have to provide
liability. He doesn't think there have been complaints by the
neighbors at this location, which happened at the previous loca-
tion. He suggests they see if it can remain on their own pro-
perty through the Board of Adjustment and if not, we will see
what the situation is for locating it on public land. Public
land should be the last option.
Councilman deLong requested the individual who made the second
to his motion to lift it, so he could withdraw his motion. Mr.
Cassandra withdrew his second to the motion.
Councilman deLong made a motion to have the City Manager pursue
this according to the lines stated with the last resort being
public property. They would have to go before the Board of
Adjustment first and he moves to waive the fee for applying for
a variance. Councilman Cassandra seconded the motion. Under
discussion, 5~- Cheney suggested that they not take-it down
and Mr. deLong suggested they obtain written permission from
the neighbors in the area where it is located. Motion carried
5-0.
Noting the time, Councilman deLong moved to dispense with the
regular order of business and go to public hearing. Vice Mayor
Zimmerman seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
PUBLIC HEARING
Approve rezoning request submitted by Stonehaven Development
Corp. to rezone an 82± acre tract of land located on Congress
Avenue west of Congress Middle School from R-2 to Planned Unit
Development for construction of 232 two-story garden apartments,
one-story patio homes and 130 sinqle-family/zero lot line homes
Mr. Cannon informed the Council that this is a request for
rezoning to Planned Unit Development with a land use inten-
sity of 4 for Stonehaven. The owner is Mode, Inc., who had
a master plan approved on this property in the 1970's for all
duplexes. Stonehaven Development Corp. is the developer and
they developed the Dos Lagos development. This request was
heard by'the Planning & Zoning Board last week and they unani-
mously recommended the rezoning be approved subject to staff
comments and additionally that the applicant provide a proposed
design for the interface of left-turn lanes at the Congress
Avenue entrance to the property.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 19, 1983
Mr. Cannon continued with showing a plan of the development and
pointing out where the various types of houses would be located.
He also pointed out the location of the three community centers
and told about the planned recreational facilities. He then
explained the access to the site and routing for traffic. He
told about negotiations to hopefully obtain a 60 ft. right-of-
way for Knuth Road, so it can be a collector road to relieve
some of the traffic on Congress Avenue.
Mr. Cannon referred to the staff comments and read the memos
from the City Planner and Recreation & Parks Director. Also,
as part of the Planning & Zoning Board's recommendation, it
is recommended the City Council continue to approve the request
of Mr. Walker, director of the Palm Beach County Traffic Divi-
sion, and the memo of understanding from Mode, Inc. to be in
full force with the exception of the modification to Paragraph
5.b. The Planning & Zoning Board also requested in their approval
that the developer address the problem of conflict between the
left turn lanes at their entrance on Congress Avenue and hope-
fully, the developer will proVide a diagram how these will be
built.
Mayor Warnke ascertained that a representative of the applicant
was not present in the audience. He asked if anyone desired
to speak in favor or in opposition to this application and
received no response.
Mr. Vance clarified that apparently there is one unresolved
problem regarding the turn lane on Congress Avenue and Mr.
Cheney disagreed and stated this will be resolved with the
site plan. He added that the representative was present at
the Planning & Zoning Board meeting and agreed to all the con-
ditions requested by staff. Mr. Vance recommended that the
record before the Planning & Zoning Board be made a part of
the record at this point.
Mayor Warnke declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Cassandra referred to the impact of traffic from
Knuth Road and asked if it would join into four lanes at
Boynton Beach Boulevard and ~. Cheney informed him that it is
two lanes now, but will be widened to four lanes. ~. Cannon
added that a copy of the County Traffic Engineer's analysis
and improvements were submitted and they do n~t want the
developer to construct any improvements in that area, but
are requesting the payment of a fee. Mr. Cheney added that
the actual development is probably 1½ years away and it is
hoped the four !aning of Boynton Beach Boulevard or Congress
Avenue will take place by that time, but there is no specified
plan at this time.

Mayor Warnke announced that Mr. Larry Poe, representing the
First Baptist Church, requested this item to be moved into
this position, so he can leave to attend another meeting.
Councilman deLong moved to consider this request, seconded by
Vice Mayor Zinnnerman. Motion carried 5-0.
Councilman deLong moved to grant this request because we have
done this on previous occasions. Councilman Wright seconded
the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Cheney informed the Council
this is the second request we have had for thi~ and the third
one is pending. He suggests possibly we should look at this,
establish a fee and decide what kind of organizations should
be allowed to use this. He recommended against this originally
and still does. It does cost money to do this, it takes time
to set the stand up and it gets wear and tear. He thinks a
'~?--~olicy should be established who to give it to. Councilman
deLong referred to this request being under the wire and sug-
gested waiting for a recommendation from the City Manager re-
garding an actual fee for discussion at a later time.

Chairman Ryder informed everyone that 2nd Avenue is going to be
Boynton Beach Boulevard. As an additional brief description,
Chairman Ryder said the canal is just south of the TV station on
the westerly side of Congress Avenue, which is the northerly
boundary line on Congress Avenue. The frontage of the develop-
ment on Congress proceeds south for about 600 feet. Then it goes
westward all the way back to Knuth Road, and there is an angle,
and the development goes up to Boynton Beach Boulevard right
behind where Gallo and that center is on Knuth Road and Boynton
Beach Boulevard.
Mr. Annunziato, City Planner, told Members of the Board this is
a request for rezoning to a Planned Unit Development with land
use intensity to equal 4 for the Stonehaven Planned Unit Develop-
ment. The owner is Mode, Inc., who, in fact,.had a master
plan approved on the property in the late 1970's or early '80's
that provided for 456 dwelling units in a duplex mode. Mr.
Annunziato said the current applicant, Stonehaven Development
Corporation, is an operating arm of the Satter Home Development
Company, which is developing the Dos Lagos PUD on North Congress.
Mr. Annunziato stated that the request is to construct 454 dwell-
ing units of four different types. He referred the Members to
the overlay and said the eastern two-thirds in that area would be
the garden apartment area, and those were in the configuration of
the squares the Members saw. Mr. Annunziato advised that they are
two story, eight unit buildings.
To the west of the garden apartments and to the north of Canal 25
on the west side of the spine road are the one story, four unit
patio villas. Mr. Annunziato said this is a product that is
being constructed at Dos Lagos, more or less.
The remaining units (single family community, so to speak)have a
zero lot line or shared lot line unit in a cluster mode. Mr.
Annunziato thought there were 92 of that type.

Recreation on the site is providing for three community centers,
each having active and passive recreation, Mr. Annunziato informed
the Board Members, with swimming pools, a meeting room, and
tennis courts. In the area north of Canal 25 there are also two
active child play areas.
Mr. Annunziato said it was suggested by the Recreation and Parks
Director that an attempt be made to connect this property through
a cut in the existing fence with the play area of Congress Middle
School, which will have to be negotiated with the School Board.
Access to the site is from Congress Avenue on the southeast and
Knuth Road at that location. Access to the site from Boynton
Beach Boulevard was suggested against at the time the Mode

The application was reviewed by the Technical Review Board and
comes to the Planning and Zoning Board with a positive recommenda-
tion, subject to staff comments, as follows:

Mr. Annunziato called a~tention to the fact that they were
re( ommending that the Planning and Zoning Board continue to approve
the request of Charles Walker, Palm Beach County Traffic Engineer,
and that the Memo of Understanding which was approved as a part
of the Mode Development shall stand in full force except for a
modification to paragraph (5) b. In lieu of constructing an
improvement, Mr. Annunziato said this would request that this
developer pay the fair share of impact fee on a permanent basis.

The Stonehaven Development Corporation is proposing to rezone from
R-2, Singe-Family and Duplex Residential to Planned Unit Development
with a Land Use Intensity = .4 an 82.63 acre tract of land located south
and west of the Congress Middle School. This property extends west to
Knuth Road and north to Boynton Beach Boulevard. The rezoning requested
if approved will provide for the constrUction of 454 dwelling units com-
posed of 232 two-story garden apartments, 92 patio villas and 130 zero
lot line homes. Access to the site is proposed to be provided from
Congress Avenue and from Knuth Road. Access from Boynton Beach Boulevard
was discouraged owing to the proximity of the property to the Bovnton
Beach Mall entrance road intersection. The recreational features pro-
posed include three community meeting rooms with pools, eight tennis
courts, two children's play areas, 15 acres of lakes, bike paths and a
jogging, path system.
In June of 1981, the Planning and Zoning Board approved a master plan
over this same property for Mode, Inc. The previously approved proposal
provided for the construction of 456 units in a duplex mode. The current
proposal incorporates in great part, many of the comments and concerns
raised by the Technical Review Board (TRB) and Planning and Zoning Board.
To that end, the TRB recommends to the Planning and Zonlng Board and
City Council that the rezoning request submitted by Stonehaven Development
Corporation be approved subject to compliance with the Memorandum of
Understanding dated 1/22/79 as modified by Charles Walker's letter of
3/7/83, and the memorandum from Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation
and Parks, both of which are attached to this memo.

Chairman Ryder felt the essence of Mr. Walker's Memorandum should
be spelled out. A copy of the Memorandum of Charles R. Walker,
Jr., Professional Engineer, Director, Traffic Division, Palm
Beach County, is attached hereto as pages 16 and 17.
Mr. Annunziato read the Memorandum of Understanding. As to
Paragraphs (1) and (2) of said Memorandum of Understanding, Mr.
Annunziato advised they had been accommodated. With regard
to paragraph (3), he said it would have to be accommodated after
construction. Mr. Annunziato read paragraph (4).
Mr. Annunziato referred to paragraph (5) and wanted to talk
about Knuth Road while the overlay was before the Board Members.
He said Knuth Road exists as a 30 foot Palm Beach Farms Plat
road, and no rights-of-way were ever required from the Gallo
development for Knuth Road or from the Quail Ridge development
for Knuth Road.
Knuth Road, in the Boynton Beach scheme of things, will serve as
a collector connecting Woolbright Road to Old Boynton Road, which
in effect is the southwest corner of Boynton Beach Mall. It will
actually relieve Congress to some extent, and there may be some
potential for connecting from Woolbright south to Golf Road,
thereby providing approximately a 1-1/2 mile collector running
north/south approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile west of Congress. Mr.
Annunziato stated that the problem is t'hat this applicant is in
the position of having to construct Knuth Road without the right
of way. -
Mr. Annunziato said the City has met several times with the owners
of the property to the west of the Stonehaven development and the
Gallo properties and_are very close to arriving at a conclusion as
to what the right-of-way will look like in terms of width and the
construction that might be proposed in connection with that right-
of-way that will be dedicated by these various property owners.
Mr. Annunziato advised that the developer of this site will have
to construct Knuth Road and install a gravity system to serve his
property as well as the properties off site, which he just
mentioned. Also, Mr. Annunziato said a water line.will be required
to be constructed in Knuth Road through the limit of this
developer's property.
Chairman Ryder asked about sidewalks on the eastern side of Knuth
Road. Mr. Annunziato answered that there will be a bike path on
the eastern side of Knuth Road. Chairman Ryder asked if that would
be the northerly edge of Boynton Beach Boulevard. Mr. Annunziato
replied, "Yes, even though the development is set back." Mr.
Linkous thought it would be rather limited with a 30 foot right-of-
way. Mr. Annunzmato advised that a 30 foot right-of-way could
never be constructed to serve a collected capacity. He said they
are hoping for a minimum of 60 feet, in an urban section. More
generally, Mr. Annunziato said they have an 80 foot collector road
right-of-way.

section, it would be 36 f Then haVe your sidewalks, curbs,

which carries that kind of traffic located very close, so the
separation of right-of-way offers a buffer. Mr. Linkous referred
to south of this same pro3ect, at the northwest corner of 23rd
and Congress and the Tate property.
Mr. Annunziato explained that the Tare property does not abut KnuthRoad.
There is an intervening 20 acre parcel but they have provided for
an east/west thoroughfare through the Tate.property. Because of
the failure to take down rights-of-wa~ in connection with the
northern Quail Ridge plat, Mr. Annunziato said the center line of
Knuth Road will move east. Mr. Linkous noted Mr. Annunziato
mentioned there were negotiations for additional rights-of-ways
from Gallo and the subject property. Mr. Annunziato replied,
"Yes."
Concerning the request for rezoning from R-2 to this particular
PUD, Chairman Ryder pointed out that they were going from an
area which presently permits a density of about 10 units to the
acre. This will result in about 1/2 of that density or a little
over 5. Chairman Ryder commented that Boynton Beach is trying to
keep_within reasonable bounds.
Concerning the noting of l~kes, Mr. Annunzlato was sure it was no
surprise to everyone that they are now in the very deep muck stream.
They will see lakes in the properties north and south.

Mr, Linkous assumed the Technical Review Board discussed the
right-of-way. Mr. Annunziato said as it stands, the right-of-way,
which is more or less left to Charles Walker, County Traffic
Engineer, of 80 is preferable to 60, but when you get in the
area of the Gallo property, you are talking about commercial
property. He thought the County would have to respond by saying
they will not reduce the ability to build on the property as a
result of the dedication. Mr. Annunziato said there are those
kinds of things going on, and it appears that it is working.
Mr. Ned Marks, Architect and Planner, Satter Company, 2330 South
Congress Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida, told the Members of
the Board there are 130 lots that are single family. He stated
that they are not sure it is going to be zero lot line. What they
are moving to today in the new developments is smaller lots. Mr.
Marks informed Chairman Ryder there is a possibility they may go
one way or the other. It depends on product line, and they are
trying to project ahead. They are talking 1984. Mr. Mark's
explained that it is soft-of difficult now. They have a good
idea of the direction they will go in the product line but how
they will cluster or exact floor plans are still in the develop-
mental stage.
Generally, they will have it mixed, Mr. Marks replied to Chair-
ma~ Ryder's question, and the portion they now indicate. Mr.
Marks felt it was an intelligent approach to offer a variety of
living units in terms of a variety of'life styles. He said
they want to take an intelligent approach to that in marketing
and development work to offer a variety of flexibility in move-
me~t, particularly ~n the pricing of affordable housing Where
they take people from one price range and give them flexibility.
Chairman Ryder asked what the width was of the main thoroughfare.
.~ Marks believed the spine road is a 60 foot right-of-way. At
ti~s point, they are Considering that a private street. At this
e, there is no consideration of any dedicated streets wi hin,
th~ development, Chairman. Ryder. asked. - Mr. Marks replied, ~No. '
He said they are going to have walks.
Mr. Marks said they intend to do some streetscaping. He felt
in the past their Satter properties developed so quickly, they
fell short in some areas of streetscape. Mr. Marks said the
Me_~ers could see some of the amenities they are affording the
inhabitants, and he mentioned the lakes, recreational area, walk
ways, and places to sit. He said they were going to try and -
implement some of those ammenities.
Mrs. Bond asked if it was a condominium type of development and
said she thought she heard the word "children,, before. Mr.
Marks informed her that there are three different communities.
The single family homes are naturally family oriented. The

Vice Chairman Winter noted Mr. Marks was saying 4,000 square feet

did not think it was very logical. Mr. Marks was sure that was
the scale.
Chairman Ryder said apparently, they were in accord with the
requirements, particularly from the County with regard to access
and the impact fee or equivalent. As far as he knew, Mr. Marks
replied, "Yes~" from his standpoint as Planner and Architect.
Chairman Ryder said it was a policy the City has had in effect
for quite a while. With the Mall and other improvements coming
along, apparently, in this regard, Chairman Ryder thought the
County preferred to do this. Hopefully, they are going to widen
Congress Avenue. Mr. Marks commented that was understood.
Chairman Ryder announced that this is a public hearing. He
aSked if anyone wished to speak in favor of the rezoning.
John-R. Eck, 1373 Partridge Place North, Quail Ridge, Boynton
Beach, Florida 33436 informed Members of the Board that he is
the current Chairman of the County and Community Affairs Committee
of Quail Ridge, which was the reason he was here representing
Quail Ridge as an abutting or adjoining property owner.
For his own clarification, Mr. Eck wished to ask a couple of
questions. He gathered that the reason for the rezoning request
was because of the addition of the single family homes, which
was not in the original plan. Mr. Annunziato answered that the
reasons for the rezoning are several. In the prior zoning classi-
fication, garden apartments were not permitted. Secondly, zero
lot line housing is not permitted. Chairman Ryder interjected
that it was primarily a duplex arrangement previously.
- 10 -
MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 12, 1983
Mr. Eck questioned whether the density of the property had exceeded
the limits for or since. Chairman Ryder answered, "Correct."
Another point for clarification Mr. Eck brought up was whether
the patio homes were all one story. Mr. Marks said that was
correct, and the single family homes are all one story. Mr. Eck
asked if the garden apartments will be two stories. Mr Marks
replied, "Yes. That is correct." '
Mr. Eck had a copy 'of the drawing so he knew their general loca-
tion. With relation to Quail Ridge on the west, Mr. Eck questioned
if the garden apartments were far enough east from Quail Ridge's
common boundary (mainly Knuth Road) so that they would not present
any visual undesirable view from the current residents of Quail
Ridge. Chairman Ryder advised that they were several hundred feet
w~st of Congress Avenue. Mr. Annunziato said it would be something
like in the nature of 600 feet or two city blocks.
Mr. Eck heard some reference to an impact fee but did not hear
how much it was. Mrs. Bond advised that it was $97,325. Mr.
Eck asked if there was any specification as to how that impact fee
would be used. He told Chamrman Ryder one of the reasons he raised
this was because of the meeting last night with Commissioner
Koehler. As Impact fees are imposed, it seemed to Mr. Eck that the
sense of the meeting last night was that to the degree sensible,
they ought to designate as much impact fee as possible for the
widening of Boynton Beach Boulevard to help relieve the severe
traffic problem.
Chairman Ryder admitted the City does get some benefit from Boynton
Beach Boulevard. He pointed out there is no direct access on
Boynton Beach Boulevard (just Knuth Road). Chairman Ryder said the
impact fee is based on whatever it costs to widen the roadway. In
this case, they will eventually have a four lane roadway on
Congress Avenue. In this case, rather than have the developer do
the widening, Chairman Ryder said the County would prefer to get
the money because they want to do some additional work on Congress
Avenue. The present widening stops about at the school, and does
not go south o~f that. Mr. Annunziato said the expenditure of these funds
that go into the County Traffic Zone Escrow Account would then be
negotiated with the City Council and the County Commission.
Mr. Eck asked if he could infer from that that none of these impact
fees go to the widening of Knuth Road. Mr. Annunziato replied
that none of these impact fees go to the widening of Knuth Road.
Knuth Road is a requirement of the site over and above the impact
fee.
Because of the meeting last night, Chairman Ryder could see that
Mr. Eck was conscious of the impact fee. He said it was brought
up that it was unfortunate that it did not prevail generally along
Boynton Beach Boulevard from Congress to Military Trail because
all of the Drexel developments along there substantially preceded
the institution of the impact fee. That was the way Mr. Eck under-
stood it.

looked upon as a collector road and will ultimately connect with

would have to be relocated. Mr. Annunziato commented that it
would be off center.
Mr. Eck further asked if they they go to the north of any Wool-
bright extension of Knuth Road, is that determined to ultimately
be a possible necessity. Mr. Annunziato asked if he was talking
about the leg of Knuth Road between Wootbright and Boynton Beach
Boulevard. Mr. Eck replied, "The southernmost part of that~ not
to Golf Road. North of Woolbright-" Mr. Annunziato asked if Mr.
"Eck was talking about that part of Knuth Road, which is adjacent
to Quail Ridge. Mr. Eck answered, "Yes." Mr. Annunziato told
Mr. Eck that was considered to be a necessity.
Mr. Eck asked if there was any land that gets landlocked. If
· Knuth ran as far as Boynton Beach west, south to the entrance of
this development, and suppose that is all the further Knuth went
from Boynton Beach Boulevard going south to the entrance to this
new development, Mr Eck asked if that would landlock any land in
there. Mr. Annunziato informed Mr. Eck that there is a 20 acre
parcel which joined in the application for abandonment that was
submitted to the County Commission, which Knuth Road would serve.
Mr. Annunziato said that property also could be served from
Woolbright Road. What Mr. Annunziato was saying was that City
Council reacted to this issue by supporting the City staff and
recommending to the County Commission that the abandonment request
should be denied at this time.
- 12 -
MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

Mr. Annunziato expressed that the City staff feels mn their planning
that Knuth Road will, in fact, carry traffic. Chairman Ryder
said the Board has had applications for developments along the
south side of Woolbright, going west from Congress Avenue in the
direction- of Quail Ridge, so the City is apparently eventually
going that way.
In the event there should be a continuation of Woolbright Road
connecting with Military Trail, Mr. Linkous commented that then
Knuth Road would be extremely important to the City as being a
collector road or a major from the shopping center (with the
big mall going in). Hopefully, Mr. Eck said it would not happen
but if it does, he would have to agree that Knuth could be a
link.
Presently, Chairman Ryder said you go all along Boynton Beach
Boulevard from Congress to Lawrence Road before you have any kind
of a north/south traffic, and that does not go all along in a
southerly direction. He thought they should consider what they
are going to do with this particular proposal without conjecture
about what might happen.
Mr. Mauti said this was like what Quail Ridge did when they had
access on the northend of their development off of Old Boynton
Road, using Knuth. Mr. Eck agreed. Mr. Annunziato stated that
Woolbright Road, more or likely, will be developed sometime in
the future from Jog Road to the ocean, With an interchange at
1-95 to serve Congress, four lanes east of Congress, and there is
scheduled to be four lanes west of Congress. There is a shopping
center developing at Woolbright Road and Military Trail now,
which is served by Woolbrzght Road. Because Woolbright Road is
the only arterial and potential to relieve Boynton Beach Boulevard
between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Atlantic.
Mr. Eck concluded by saying the people in Quail Ridge think this
is a pretty nice development and take no exceptions to it.
Lowell Bennett, 400 S. W. Golfview Terrace, Boynton Beach, spoke
both as an abutter to this development and as a Director of the
Leisureville Community AssociatIon. Mr. Bennett read a letter
from Palm Beach Leisureville Community Association, Inc., dated
April 5, 1983, addressed to the Boynton Beach-Zoning Commission,
which substantially states their position regarding this
velopment. A copy of said letter is attached hereto as pages

Gentlemen: .
In reference to the Stonehaven P.' U, D. located West of Congress
Avenue and South of Boynton Beach Blvd., the Palm Beach Leisureville Board of
Directors is favorably impressed with the overall plan.
The Setter Architectural and Engineering Groups Inc. has presented a
well designed plan for the developement and we would welcomm them to our area..
We ~re, however, deeply concerned in regard to the traffic pattern
Shown on the overall plan for'the developement. The plan calls for an entrance
-onto Congress Ave,, approximately 300 feet South of the~L-25 Canal, and
approximately midway between the Canal and S. W. Golf Lane. The only other
entrance would be on ~the West side of the developement onto Knuth Road. It is
our understanding that the developer will pave Knuth Road.
It is our opinion that the majority of the residents would find the
Congress Ave. entrance the most convenient.
Presently Congress Ave. is a high traffic area, especially during the
early morning and late afternoon hours. We can anticipate that the traffic
williin¢=ease substantially upon the completion of the Boynton Beach Mall and
the Motorola Plant.
The plan presently shows the addition of a right and a left turn lane
for access to the developement from Congress Ave. and no changes for access
fro~-'Bpynton Beach Blvd. to Knuth Road. We further anticipate that the
proposed traffic pattern would encourage motorists to use S. W. Golf Lane and
other Letsureville Streets as access to Boynton Blvd. and Woolbright Road.
Base~ on a telephone conversation with Mr. Charles R. Walker, Jr.,
Director of Traffic Division, Palm Beach County, it is our understanding.

that there are presently no specific plans to widen Congress Avenue in the

We, the Board of Directors of Palm Beach Leisureville Community

the proviso that the traffic pattern be restudied and that a more satisfactory
plan to handle the traffic be submitted and approved, subject to the same

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 12, 1983
At this point and time, with the Boynton Beach Mall coming in,
Motorola, and Stonehaven PUD (which they welcome), Mr. Bennett
said they were saying the time to correct the traffic situation
is now, not at some date in the unforeseeable future. If they
had been able to go to Charles Walker, Director, Traffic Division,
Palm Beach County, and have Mr. Walker tell him he had firm plans
to take care of this situation in one or two years, then Mr.
Bennett said they, in turn, could give their wholehearted support
for this project but, according to Mr. Walker, there is no
date. Mr. Walker assured Mr. Bennett' that they are
Congress Avenue north of Hypoluxo Road, which did not do
them any good.
Mr. Bennett repeated that the traffic situation should be changed.
He said there may be financial or other reasons why it is
absolutely impossible to do it at this time or within 12 to 18
months, but Mr. Bennett did not think that relieved Leisureville
of the responsibility of investigating the possibilities of it.
Mr. Bennett lives backing onto Congress Avenue. The traffic does
not cause him any inconvenience except fOr the noise. He sees
people lined up in lines four and five blocks long, and could
imagine what is going to happen when they put in the proposed
entrance to Stonehaven, adding only a right turn lane and a left
turn lane. He felt the additional traffic would be more than
that simple adjustment can handle.
Mr. Annunziato, City Planner, was aware of what Mr. Bennett said.
He thought the issue had to do with the amount of frontage of the
project on Congress Avenue and the proximity of that with the
road to the southeast and the canal across the north. It appeared
to Mr. Bennett, from the overall plan and from pacing off the
distances concerned, that the left turn lane for northbound
traffic would virtually wipe out the existing left hand turn.
Chairman Ryder thought that was an important consideration that
needs some attention and should be studied.
Mr. Annunziato advised Mr. Bennett that the issue of traffic on
Congress was something that would have to be resolved by local
government (Municipal, County, and perhaps even State) as it is
a big issue. Chairman Ryder referred to Quail Ridge, Limetree,
and Bent Tree where they have two lanes and right and left turns.
He said money is the key factor.
As there was no one else wishing to speak in favor of the
rezonlng, Chairman Ryder asked if anyone wished to speak
opposition to the rezoning. There was no response.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Annunziato thought perhaps Chairman Ryder would want to address
the nature of the left turn lanes to the applicant's engineer.

On the Memorandum of Understanding (pages 16 and 17), Mr. Norem
questioned Whether the County was actually asking them to do (5)
a rather than (5) b. Chairman Ryder explained that the County
wants the money rather than having the developer do it. Mr.
Norem asked if the same figure that was in existence four years
ago still stands today.~ Mr. answered that it woUld
be based on the current ~, which is $200 for an
apartment and $300 for a sJ home. He believed that was
correct.
Mr. Annunziato clarified that it all depends on the configuration.
If the single family homes are~'built detached, they will be
single family homes. If they are built attached, which potentially
could happen on the zero lot line, they will probably be
considered multiple family units. Mr. Annunziato estimated it
would be somewhere near $90,000, more or less, if not exactly
$97,000. Mr. Linkous asked if $97.000 would then be allocated
to widen Congress. Mr. Annunziato answered that it would be put
into an escrow account in connection wlith this traffic Zone.
When. the County InterlOCal Ordinance was drafted, Mr. Annunziato
said each traffic zone had an escrow account created with it, and
the dollars collected in that traffic zone go into that escrow
account fOr expenditure in that area. He thought Boynton Beach
Boulevard and Congress Avenue are both in this traffic Zone a~d
said~it could be an overlapping of funds.
In addition to considering the staff requirements, Chairman Ryder
pointed out that it was important for the Members to also include
the Memorandum of Understanding with regard to the roadway
improvements. Mrs. Bond asked if they could add that the traffic
pattern be restudied. Chairman Ryder thought it would be done
anyway and thought it was important to point out that there is a
problem with the left turns at Golf Lane and the proposed one.
Mr..Annunziato wanted to recommend to Mr. Roth or the Satter
Company to prepare an analysis for the Council's review, as he
~hought the Council would be concerned about this issue. Mr.
Annunziato thought it was incumbent upon the applicant to at least
explain to the Council how this problem can be mitigated.
Mr. Linkous asked if it should not inject Knuth~Road to be - 20 -

reviewed also. Mr. Annunziato replied that the issue-~of Knuth Road
is somewhat settled in that it needs to be constructed to serve
this property. In his recommendation, Mr. Annunziato would prefer
that Knuth Road be given with the project. He advised that it is
part of this project, and there is no way to veer from that.
Mr. Linkous moved to approve the Stonehaven Planned Unit Develop-
ment subject to the review by the engineers of the Satter
Company in conjunction with Charles R. Walker, Jr., Professional
Engineer, Director, Traffic Division, Palm Beach County, and his
Memorandum of Understanding dated February-6, 1979 with regard to
roadway~ improvements, and sub'ect3 to staff comments. Mr.
Hester seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.
Chairman Ryder acknowledged the presence of Steve Cohen, Sun
Sentinel, saying the Board missed him.
