Mayor Roberts welcomed the ladies a~d gentlemen present and
called the meetiag to order at 7:34 P.-M. He a~aoanced this

of the City of Boyaton Beach. He added that they wo~_ld pause
from time to time and people ia the audience may question as
they go.
Mr. Harmeni~g asked that one item be added to the agenda at
the next regular meeting, so they may reconsider their in-
structions to 'the City Manager and hold off on the little
triangular piece at S. W. 6th and 25th Ave. They asked the
~ity ~%nager to do some work there, but he would like the
City Council to consider instructing the City Manager to
hold off until they have had a chance to reso~sider. He
feels he may have made a mistake in voting and would l~e a
chance to reconsider. Mr. Strnad stated he didn't think it
w~s~nscessary, Because Mr. Harmening has sent a memo to the
City Manager asking that all work be stopped on this. Mr.
Harmening replied that this was true and he ~id sead a memo
~o the City Manager asking that this item be put oR the agenda
at the next regular meeting and hold off a~y attica u~til the
City Council could reconsider it. He added that he felt this
p~ts the Ci%yManagsr i~ a~ awkward positio~ and r~ther than
place him in a difficult spot, he would like him to hold off.
~M. DeLong stated he was i~ agr?ement with Mr. Earmening, but

unreasonable for a member who voted in favo~ to ask for re-
consideration. Mrs. Jackson questioned if there was anything
wrong or illegal and Mr. Simon replied: no, it was proper to
request this. Mrs. Jaekso~ pointed out that if there was a
request to recansider and the work did go ahead, how could
t~ey reconsider something after the fact? Mr. Simon stated
he di~ not see what was written, hut ~uderstood that ~.
~rmening asked for a reconsideration and so advised the
City Manager and asked him not to take action mutil the City
Council has had a chance to reconsider. Mr. DeLong stated
that the City Manager had gotten the message, but was put in
an emBarrassiag position. He stated again that he had ~o
objections whatsoever. He thinks he ~a as liberal a~d son-
siderate as any other Coumcil member. He thd~s they should
have th_s degree ef flexi,illth. He just doesn't believe a
Council member should instruct the ~ity Manager to do some-
thing after they have takt~ actio~ a~d doest,% thi~k it is
conducive for good City gOVernment.
Mmyor Roberts stated that the request has been made by Mr.
Harmening for the City Ce~mcil 2o reee~sider and have the
City Man.a~.er take no action u~til it is discussed at the
next meeting, 'I~e Couueil men, ers all agreed.
Mayor Roberts announced they would now procee~ with reading
the regulations. He stated they would'start with ~r. Simon
and all take a crack at it. Mrs. Jackso~ requested that
after reading each section, they be given a short period of
time to make comments.
Mr. Simon began reading Ordinance 75-t9, Official Zoning
Regulations of the City of Boynton Beach. A discrepancy was
noted in the first paragraph on. Page 1 where some booklets
stated three years and others stated one year. N~. Barrett
advise~ them that bhe latest copies had a white label on the
front. It was ascertained that everyone had a copy of the
latest printing and ~. Simon oroceeded with reading Pages
I thru 9. ~
~Ms. Jackson referred to Page 4 and the definition for Car-
port. She stated she has seen carports standing off by
themselves, which are not attached. Mr. Barrett informed
her that these would be considered accessory buildings.
~s. Jackson referred to the definition of Contiguous on
Page 4 and stated she read that navigable water kept some-
thing from being contiguous. ¥~. Simon stated he didn,t
~ow and would check it.

Mrs. Jackson referred to Page 12, e. Boundaries and Zoning,
and stated that moning did not come at the time of applica-
tion. Mr. Barrett reDlied that under normal circumstances,
when a person applied-for annexation, it wasbbased upon the
fact they were allowed to do certain things. Mrs. Jackson
.started that zoning ~on~d-not be determined. Fa. Barrett
inzormed her that t~e annexation procedure was set up other
than in the zoning regulations. Mrs. Jackson pointed out
that the words: "determined at the time of application~ may
be confusinE. Nr. Simon clarified that it sounded like Mr.
the application and M~s.

Mrs. Pa~getl referred to Page 14, Double Frontage Lots, and
stated it was also referred to on Page ?,Lot Frontage, and
pointed out that this left aquestion. Mr. Barrett informed
her it was defined furtherI very thoreugh, ly. Mrs. Padgett
questioned whether the reference to Eec~i~n $~-G was correct
on Page 7? Mr. Barrett~no%ed this was a typographical error

Mr. Harmening continued with reading Pages 16 thru 19.
Mr. DeLong referred to Page 19, first paragraph h., and
pointed out a typographical error where "black' should be

~,~s. Jackson continued with reading Page 21 and 22.
Mr. Harme~ing referred to Page 22, c. All other Permitted
USes, and he questioned the reference to minim~$1iving
area as governed By applicable regulatory agency. Mr.
Barrett informed him that this referred to the Hotel and
Restaurant Cemmissiom, Board of Health, Hospital Commis-
sion, etc. Mr. Harmening pointed out that if they accepted
it as written, it seemed comceivable at some future time,
some government agemcy might prescribe a lower limit which
they may net appreciate. Mr. Barrett informed him that
these were governed by State board and the State takes pre-
cedence en this regulation. Mr. ~arme~i~g stated he was
referring to apartm~mt or Boardimg houses a~dMr. Barrett
imformed him this was covered. Mr. Harmeni~g withdrew his
question and stated he was satisfied.
Mr. DeLong referred to Page 21, ~., and the reference to
being approve~ by Pl~mg and Zomiag Bo~rd and 0ity Council
smd he state~ it should Be when re¢ommen~e~ By the Ple~ing &
~oning Board and approved by the City Council. Mr. S~mon
agreed, but pointed out by stating it this way, they elimina-
tisd private clubs from being approved if it was mot recom-
mended by the Planning & Zoning Board. Mr. DeLong stated
that the ruling factor would be the City Council. The City
Council can approve or reject any recommendation of the Plan-
ning & Zoning Board. Mr, Simon contiuued that if the condi-
tion for permitted use required the recommendation of the
Ptanning & Zoning Board, it is required before it cas be a
~r~itted use. N~. DeLong questiomed if it wasn,t a fact

Mr. Kelly referred to Page 24 and questioned if this was regu-
lated by a~y gover~ment agency and F~. Barrett replied: no.
Mayor Roberts continued with reading the remaining of Page 24
thru 28.
M~rs. Jack, on referred to Page 27, 3. B~lding and Site Regu-
lations, and stated she felt the 4~ maximum lot coverage was
too restrictive and also the front, side and ~ear yards could
be cut down. She referred to established businesses going
right to the sidewalk and how it was too restrictive to make
new businesses go back so far. Mr. Barrett informed her with
the 40%.~ coverage, this is the maximum which can be covered
with the require~ p~rking and landscaping. Nfs. Jackson
questioned the 30 ft. front yard requirement and referred to
smaller lots which have been zoned business for 30 years.
~They also require 30 ft. in the back. F~r. Barrett informed
nor the 30 ft. wms reeuired in the rear only when they abut-
ted residential areas~ ~s. Jackson informed him that this
was true of most of the lots on Route 1. Mr. DeLong ques-
tioned if they were referring to existing places? Mrs.

Jackson replied: no, it would only apply to them if they wa~t
to sell and could not do it. There are vacant lots without
anything and possibly they have been w~iti~g to build when the
moratorium was lifted. Mr. Barrett informed her that with
parking, it requires one space for every 300 feet of floor
space. He explained how parking was determined. Mrs. Jackson
added that there were lots on 2nd Avenue that were business.

was required on one side and this was for access to the rear
of the building. ~rs. Jacksom suggested taking the front

in the front and rear were too much. They also object to
the coverage limit for building. She gavea copy of the
petition to each Co~nc±l member. ~s. Jackson referre~ to
it stating 25 ft. wa~ too mmch in the front of the lot and
that i~ the present zoning. ~rs. Bowers informed her that

the new one was 30 ft. and the old was 25 ft,, but the old
of 25 ft. was too much. She added that they wanted parking
in the back of the building and not in front. Yes. Jackson
suggested 15 ft.
M~r. A1Boeltz appeared before the City Council and informed
them that he owns property on U. S. 1 and has had it for 18
years, At first, it was zoned with no setbacks; then in 1962,
20 ft. was taken off the back and front; and now they want
30 ft. i~ the front and 20 ft. in the back and side. He
continued that according to Florida State Statute, they may
net confiscate a man's property a~d that is what they are
doing. Mr. DeLong replied that mainly his frontage was
affected. ~. Boeltz replied that it also affected the side.
He continued that the main use of his property was with no
setbacks. The 1962 code almost cut himdown to nothing ~d
now he has no uses with the new code.
M~. DeLong questioned if it would be possible in the instan-
ces of these small lots to let them retain their old setback
lines? He pointed out this was definitely destroying the
use of this man's property. He questioned if they could
i~corporate into the zoniug ordinance some relief to this?
sM~.s. Jackson referred to ~t~ Federal Highway, where sale
mgns were and questioned'th~size of these lots along the
F.E.C. between U. S. ~, somth of the Carriage House and
north of the old Federal Grocery? Mr. Barrett replied there
were a number of parcels not conforming, but these were a
minim~nm. Ne added that it was open tothe Bo~d of Adjust-
ment. He referred to Mar. Boe~tm's statement of 20 ft. each
side and pointed out this was not true and only 20 ft. for
one side was required, so eqUipment could get to the back.
It would be a hardship not created by the party. A Sari-
ance could be granted in these pa~ticular instances.
Jackson remarked that when U. S. 1 was widened, it took off
the front of some buildings. M~. Barrett stated that the
majorppart of the City complies.
-Mr. Harmening stated that another thing which was restrictive
was the minimum lot s~ea of 20,000 sq, ft., which is more
restrictive than the setbacks. In many cases, it will mean
people must acquire more property in order to build. If the
Planning & Zoning Board feels this section is the best for
the largest number of property intkhe City, he c~m see where
their feelings may be right, but he also can see many hard-
ships and the Board of Adjustment wilt be doing a land office
business. Mr. DeLong added that if they were turned down,
it wouldn,t b? right. He questione~ why they should su~et
them to the wmll of the Boa~d of Adjustment, if they could
reconcile it. Mayor Roberts ~uestioned if there were quite
a few of these parcels? Mr. Barrett informed him that the

properties M~s. Jackson referred to are zoned C-4. Mr.
DeLong stated that Mr. Boeltz would more or less be grand-
fathered. Yes. Jackson stated this was true, until he
wanted~ to sell. She questioned if it would be possible to
put in m separate section for these smaller oieces of pro-
petty? ~. Barrett replied that he didn,t s~e how they
could. T~sy could adjust this, but it would not be good
to set up exceptions for elder p~eces of property. Mrs.
Jackson questioned if the Pl~_~g & ~oning Board would ac-
cept 15 ft.? She added she didn,t want to hurt people own-
ing property. ~. Barrett replied that if they came to a
consensus of opinion, he believed the Planming ~ Zoning
Beard would go along. M~r. Strnad stated there was ~a manda-
tory 10 ft. setback from the C.A.B. Ee co~ti~ed t~at the
rear setback was not too bad, but the side setback should no~
be 20 ft. on o~e side where the rear yard is ~t accessible.
Mr. Fred Kost~er appeared before the City Council and stated
he would li~e to ask a questio~ about the map~ ~. DeLong
informed him that the map would be discusse~ on Tuesday.
~s. Jackson stated she woul~ like to recommend they change
the mi~mum front yard to 15 ft. Ne. ~eLong asked what it
was presently and Mr. Btrnad informed him it was 25 ft. Mr.
DeLong stated she wanted to reduce what is proposed and what
it is presently. Mrs. Jackson clarified that she recommended
changing it from 30 ft. to ~5 ft. It still leaves plenty of
room for landscaping. Mr. DeLong referred to Hank Thompson,s
building and suggested they should not ~ox themselves in an8
should strike a~ even balance.
Mrs. Jackson made a motio~ to change the minimum front yard
from 30 ft. to 20 fto Mr. Harmening seconded the motion.
Motion carried 5-0.
Mrs. Jackson asked for clarification of the side yard require-
merits a ad Mr. Barrett informed her that it states 20 ft. for
o~e side. Mr. Harmening added that with parking in the rear,
they ~eed room to get back. Mr. Barrett added that City
equipment, garbage trucks, fire equipment, etc. must be able
to get to the rear of the building. Mr. Strnad suggested
adding where neeessary to obtain access to the rear of the
prooerty. ~rs. Jack, on added that some places have alleys.
~r. Barrett agreed they could state where access is not svail-
able ~o the rear of the property. Mr. Strnad stated they must
stay 5 ft. ~ ~
o~_ the sides. ~. Barrett stated they may be in
conflict by stating 20 ft. or 15 ft. one side which means they
can build up to the other side. Mr. DeLong suggested e~im3_~-
a$ing the confliction and getting in s~ep with the C.A.B.
M~. Strnad stated that the C.A.B. requires 5 ft. on each side
and the rear. Me. Barrett referred to commercial and indus-
trial areas and stated he didn't think they could be this

restrictive for side yard plantings. They might have two
side lines allowing a .man to build to the side llne and pro-
vide access on one side. However, with only 5 or l0 ft.
between buildings, it is hard to maintaJ~ M~s~ Jackson
asked if they could require 15 ft. o~e side? Mr. Barrett
stated it would conflict with the C.A.B. Mr. DeLong stated
they could amend the C.A.B. requirements and this would
supersede it. Mro Barrett informed them they could not get
equipm~ntt~ough a 10 ft. width and he believes they should
have plantings to enhance the property. Mayor Ro~erts re-
marked they might have to split the ~ifference. Mr. Barrett
stated in allowing ~uildings to build side by side, they
should have 20 ft. on one side. ~s. Jackson stateu~ if
somebody had a 15 ft. side yard on the north and 5 ft. en
the south side, they could not make the neighbor do the
same. Mr. Harmening suggested they could add a statement

was there and possibly they could instruct the City Attorney
to change the wordage. Mrs. Jackson pointed out that this
would be changing the first reading. M~. Simo~ remarked that
this was like a super workshop meeting. ¥~r. Str~ad stated
that no matter where the access point was located, there
would be egress aud ingress problems. ~. Barrett suggested
that no side yard be required. Mrs. Jackson pointed sut
with stating it this way, they would have building mpom
building.. M~. B~arrett added they wo~ald be in conflict with
the C.A.B. Mr. Strnad agreed, stating they want 5 ft. on
each side. M~. Earme~i~g stated this would set the prece-
dence. Mr. Barrett pointed out that with having only 5 ft.
between buildings, they could not re~ally plant in that room.
Buildings in town have wanted to bUild 6 i~ches within un
each other, ~ut he told them to clo~e them mp. Mr. ~imo~
C
read the.present zoning ode. He pommted out that th~s set
up certain ~uidelines. The public~ must uu~erstaud th~s when
reading it. When a man buys a piece of la~d, this states
what he can do with it. This states where rear access is not
available from a public street or alley. This means with an
alley intthe ~ack, a bUilding c~be put against a building.
~s. Jackso~ stated ske would like to see it ~5 ft. instead
of 10 ft. as stated in ~he ol~ ers~inance.

Mrs. Padgett referred to Page 27, Section 6-p, and pointed
out the reference to a~ ordinance no. and stated they usually
refer to code a~d she would have to get this section. Mr.
Earmeming moved to correct this paragraph in accordance with
the section of the code. Mrs. Jackson seconded the motion.
Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Barrett referred to Page 27, ~o. 3, and the mkuimum lot
area requirement of 20,000 feet which was also debatable.
He informed them that the min~mumlot frontage could be
changed ts 75 feet, but didn't think they could get down to
60~feet for b~r. Boeltz. Nrs. Jackson moved to m~ke the
minimum lot frontage 75 feet and the minimum l~t area t5,000
feet. Mr. Earmeni~g seconded the motion. Under discussion,
¥~. Strmad questioned the advantage ~nd ~r. Barrett informed
him that it would bring a lot in compliance. Mr. Barrett
added that this wouldn,t be gra~ting too much. Motion car-
ried 5-0.
Mr. DeLong referred to Page 28: No. 7, and suggested insert-
ing the same wording as previously.
Mrs. Padgett backtracked to the early zoning classifications
in the single family areas and referred to the paragraph
stating:'~(b) a~y use not specifically herein above enumer-
ated shall be referred to the Planning and Zoning Board for
recommendation to the City Council? She stated this made
it sound like it was left wide open. Mr. Barrett stated he
thought it could be omitted all the way through single family,
as they state exactly what can be done. He thinks this was
something which got i~tthere and was not necessary. M~.
Kelly stated that he agreed. ~s. Jackson moved to strike
this phrase from all residential zones. 5~. Earmening
seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0.
~r. DeLong questioned whether any exceptions were being made
for M~s. Bowers and P~. Boeltz? Mrs. Jackson replied that
she didn't see how they could just pick any specific property.
Fm. Barrett stated he felt isolated cases like these should
go before the Board ~Adjustment and they consider these as
hardships. M~rs. Jackson referred to when the zoning map was
passed in 1962 and there were whole sections applying to 60
ft. lots and there were many ~0 ft. lots. This did ~
cause a hardship and. the Boar~ of Adjustment has considered
them. She doesn,t think they should change anything in the
zoning code for two pieces of property. Mr. DeLong replied
he just thought they. could make an exception, i~. Boeltz
questioned what happened if the Board of Adjustment did not
pass it and ~fr. Barrett replied that they booed to operate
this way. ~
