R14-090 - EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Subscription Agreement between American Funding Innovators, Inc. and the City of Boynton Beach with the expenditure of $7,825 for web-based grant research and management. ER: The City of Boynton Beach Grants Team automated its XPLANATION OF EQUEST grant research and grant management twelve years ago. Automation began with a company called eCivis. At that time, eCivis was the only company who had grant research and grant management specifically designed with local governments in mind. We currently have a one year subscription and service agreement with eCivis for, Grants Network, a research, tracking and reporting web-based grant management system, which will expire on October 31, 2014. The cost for the one year subscription is $27,506.85. The eCivis company has grown over the years and now serves several large metropolitan areas. To better meet their customers’ needs eCivis has incorporated features such as management of extensive numbers of sub-grantees and monitoring of sub-recipients as well as other “extras” that are not essential to a city our size to effectively obtain and manage grant funding. Each year, the Grants Coordinator researches companies that provide grant research and management systems in an effort to obtain a product that would meet the city’s needs at a reduced cost. Over the past few years the market has rapidly expanded with companies who now can deliver a product similar to what we are currently using. Until now, there was no other company or product that included both grant research and 121 of 506 grant management tools. As a result, the City is able to obtain the tools it needs at a greatly reduced price. Staff recommends subscribing to American Funding Innovators’ Grants Navigator, beginning November 1, 2014. The cost of the one year subscription is $7,825.00, which provides a saving of $19,681.85 in the General Fund. In addition, this product includes customizable data fields which allow the City much more flexibility in capturing additional data that is not typically offered in grant management software. American Funding Innovators, Inc. provides access to a centralized federal, state, local and foundation grant database, grant management and reporting tools and organizational wide oversight at a substantially lower cost than our current provider, eCivis and a third provider, StreamLink (see attached product comparison). Grants Team members have previewed this software and are confident it meets their department’s needs to effectively research and manage grants. The Grants Coordinator has researched the company and checked several references. Each reference had nothing but positive things to say regarding the product and customer service. In addition, ITS staff has reviewed the security of the system and finds it ample to secure city grant documents HOW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES: Subscribing to Grants Navigator will enable the Grants Team members to continue efficiently seek grant opportunities and manage grant awards. Grants Navigator is configurable, web-based software that centralizes information and project management and provides customizable data fields to better meet the individual grant management and reporting needs of the City. The system provides citywide use and oversight by the Grants Coordinator and the Finance Department. The Subscription Agreement includes access to a database of local, state and federal grant opportunities, and a project level document repository for our annual single audit. This allows the auditor on-line access to all grant related documents. This also enables the City to move towards a more paperless process. FISCAL IMPACT: The City of Boynton Beach will receive a discount as a member of the American Association of Grant Professionals (AAGP). The total cost for Grant Navigator for the one year subscription is $7,825. This expense is included in the adopted FY2014/2015 General Fund budget and will be taken from the Grants Team account #001-1210-512-64.14. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Not enter into a Service Agreement with American Funding Innovators, Inc. and dramatically decrease our ability to efficiently and effectively seek and manage grants citywide at a reduced cost. 2. Renew our current agreement with eCivis at $27,506.85 3.

ER: XPLANATION OF EQUEST The FY 13/14 Budget was adopted in September of 2013, as a result of normal day to day operations of the City there is a need to adjust various funds, departments and line items within the adopted budget to reflect actual expenditures for FY 13/14. This request is considered a normal in the annual budget process. Budget adjustments between departments or that will increase a Fund’s total appropriations require City Commission approval. (1) The General Fund (001) budget and budgets for other funds have been modified to accommodate for unforeseen events or shortfall of funding. Staff is requesting approval of these budget adjustments made during FY2013-14. (2) The City’s past practice for all City funds is that any budgeted and unspent appropriations are cancelled at the end of each fiscal year and the unspent money becomes part of the fund balance of each fund. Most capital projects span multiple years and continue into the following year. However, under best budgeting practices and governmental accounting standards, we should re- appropriate these funds to provide the continued spending authority for these projects. 175 of 506 Accordingly during FY2013-14 necessary budget modifications have been made in various Funds between department/divisions. Thus adopted appropriations for some department line items have been presented on Exhibit A. Staff is requesting approval for the budget adjustments made in FY2013-14. The General Fund appropriation for FY2013-14 will increase as a result needed transfers or appropriation of fund balance.  The General Fund has various line items that need adjusted, resulting in the total General Fund appropriations increasing from $71,267,135 to $71,416,503;  The Traffic Fund appropriations will be amended from $1,493,840 to $1,243,840 to adjust appropriations based on current operations;  The Community Improvement Fund will be amended from $337,004 to $397,004 to adjust appropriations for operational expenses;  The Public Art Fund will be amended from $117,200 to $134,300 to adjust appropriations for additional current year expenses;  The Capital Improvement Fund will be amended from $1,642,030 to $1,682,958 to adjust appropriations for capital projects;  The Water & Sewer Utility Fund will be amended from $$39,167,124 to $39,617,124 to provide funding for unanticipated operating expenses;  The Water & Sewer Utility Capital Fund will be amended from $34,439,600 to $39,464,600 to provide appropriations for contracts approved in FY13/14;  The Sanitation Fund will be amended from $11,508,527 to $11,938,527 to cover higher than anticipated disposal costs;  The Fleet Maintenance Fund will be amended from $8,588,112 to $8,738,112 due to higher than anticipated parts and supplies for repairs;  The Self Insurance Fund will be amended from $3,100,000 to $3,208,000 to cover additional legal costs and higher than anticipated self-insured claims.

This amount reflects unpaid ALS Transportation billings that have been in collections for 18 months or longer. ER: Per Florida Statutes Title VIII 95.11, the city has four (4) XPLANATION OF EQUEST years to collect an outstanding debt. It has been determined that these accounts are unlikely to be collected at this point and the appropriate action is to write them off completely. Attempts by the City and its Collection Agency to collect these past due amounts have been exhausted since a majority of the accounts are from uninsured patients. The $192,367.50 represents 528 medical incident transportations from 2006 through 2009. The City establishes an amount for the allowance for uncollectible accounts annually based on overall outstanding receivables. By doing this the requested write off approval will have no impact on the City’s financial statements. It is prudent to review at least annually the collectability of accounts that have been sent to the collection agency to determine the benefit of having the collection agency continue to attempt to collect the older accounts.

Applicant: Ron Roan, High Ridge Housing, LLC. (TABLED TO 10/7/14) PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 14-014 - FIRST READING - PUBLIC HEARING - Approve High Ridge Landing PUD rezoning (REZN 14-002) from R-2 (Single and Two-Family Residential District) to a PUD to be combined with adjacent property to the south establishing a new Master Plan consisting of 184 apartments, the Imagine Charter School and athletic fields, located at the NW corner of High Ridge Road and Minor Road. Applicant: Ron Roan, High Ridge Housing, LLC. (TABLED TO 10/7/14) ER: The proposed rezoning would recreate a PUD (Planned Unit XPLANATION OF EQUEST Development) zoning originally placed on the subject property in 2005, after it was annexed to the City. The PUD was initially approved for 174 units (48 single family homes and 126 townhomes), then modified in 2007 to include 110 single-family homes. However, the prolonged economic downturn thwarted project construction. In 2009, the subject property was split in two after the owner sold a 4.22-acre parcel at the northern portion of the site for development of a charter school. The school’s part of the property was rezoned from PUD to R-2 (Single-and Two Family Residential District), since schools were not allowed in PUD until 2012, when the LDR regulations were 291 of 506 amended. In 2013, the owner sold another 5.31 acre part of the property for a future school recreational area. The request, if approved, would reunite the three properties under the PUD zoning with a new master plan which would include a multifamily residential component with 184 apartments and the existing school with the soon-to-be developed athletic field. The proposed master plan represents relatively little change from the first master plan approved for the property (184 units as compared to 174 units). The property’s future land use classification is Medium Density Residential, which allows for the requested number of units. The type of units—rental apartments—reflects a strong market demand. Moreover, given the proximity of the school, many alternative uses for the property (particularly the previously proposed industrial use) could create compatibility issues. The proposed rezoning is compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties: there is a considerable diversity of land uses in proximity of the subject property, from residential uses of various types and densities to institutional and industrial uses. In addition to proximity of the school, and industrial and commercial uses as employment centers, the project is located within ½ mile from the regional transit network of Tri-Rail, giving future residents convenient access to the three-county labor market. The Planning and Development Board recommended denial of the subject request on July 22, 2014. H? No impact on City programs or OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES services. FI: The project would generate approximately $160,000 of annual ISCAL MPACT revenues in ad valorem taxes and fire assessment. The estimate of total annual fees for water, sewer, and stormwater is $58,800. The necessary services can be provided within the existing capacity of the respective city departments: no additional capital outlays or increased staffing would be required. The park impact fee will be $109,480.

PZ 14-017 STAFF REPORT TO: Chair and Members Planning and Development Board THRU: Michael Rumpf Planning and Zoning Director FROM: Hanna Matras, Senior Planner DATE: July 14, 2014 PROJECT: High Ridge Landing PUD REZN 14-002 REQUEST: Approve High Ridge Landing PUD rezoning (REZN 14-002) from a PUD (Planned Unit Development) with the Master Plan for 110 single-family homes, and from R-2 (Single and Two-Family Residential District) developed with a school (Imagine Charter School), to a PUD with a Master Plan for 184 apartments, the Imagine Charter School and athletic fields. ________________ PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: High Ridge Housing, LLC and WDDW Resources LLC Applicant: Ron Roan/High Ridge Housing, LLC Northwest corner of High Ridge Road and Miner Road (Exhibit “A”) Location: Existing Land Use/ Zoning: Medium Density Residential (MeDR)/ PUD (Planned Unit Development) with a Master Plan for 110 single-family homes and; R-2 (Single and Two-Family Residential District) Proposed Land Use/ Zoning: Medium Density Residential (MeDR)/ PUD (Planned Unit Development) with a Master Plan for 184 apartments, the school and accessory athletic fields Acreage: +/- 18.44 acres Adjacent Uses: 301 of 506 North: Single family homes in unincorporated Palm Beach County, classified LR-2 Low Density Residential (2 du/acre) and zoned RS Single Family Residential. South: The right-of-way of Miner Road, then developed property (High Ridge Commerce Center) classified Industrial (I) and zoned M-1 Industrial; to the southwest, undeveloped property within unincorporated Palm Beach County classified Industrial (IND) and zoned Single Family Residential (RS). East: The right-of-way of High Ridge Road, then, to the northeast, Cedar Ridge Estates with single family homes and townhomes (townhomes built at 8.04 du/acre), classified Low Density Residential (LDR) and zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD). To the southeast, Cedar Ridge and High Ridge Commerce Park, developed properties classified Industrial (I) and zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID). West: To the west, undeveloped property (High Ridge Country Club) designated Low Density Residential (LDR) and zoned R1AA Single Family Residential. BACKGROUND The subject property was annexed into the City in May 2005 and approved for Medium Density Residential (MeDR) land use, allowing a maximum density of 9.68 dwelling units per acre. As per the concurrently approved master plan and the site plan approved in September 2005, the project included 48 single family homes and 126 townhomes. However, infrastructure issues delayed construction and, faced with a deteriorating housing market, the developer requested a modification, which cut the number December 2007, but by of units by 64 and eliminated townhomes. The modification was approved in then the “Great Recession” took hold and it became clear that the modified project remained financially unfeasible. In October 2008 the developer applied for a land use amendment and rezoning of the site to change the land use and zoning from residential to industrial. The amendment underwent the state review but the developer chose not to pursue the final adoption and the requests were effectively dropped. In 2009, he sold a 4.22-acre parcel at the northern portion of the property, subsequently developed as Imagine Charter School, and, in 2013, another 5.31 acre part of the property for a future school recreational area. Please note that the development order for the modified master plan approved in 2007 remains valid as per extensions granted by state law in 2012. However, given that the portions of the property sold for the school site were a part of the subject master plan, any development plans would require either master plan modification or a new master plan. In this case, the owner of property occupied by Imagine Charter School (currently zoned R-2) and the new owner of the remaining parcel (currently zoned PUD) jointly request rezoning of the entire property to PUD with a new master plan which would include a residential component and the existing school with the soon-to-be developed athletic field. REVIEW BASED ON CRITERIA The criteria used to review Comprehensive Plan amendments and rezonings are listed in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Article II, Section 2.B and Section 2.D.3. These criteria are required to be part of a staff analysis when the proposed change includes an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) or a rezoning. a. Demonstration of Need. A demonstration of need may be based upon changing conditions that represent a demand for the proposed land use classification and zoning district. Appropriate data and analysis that adequately substantiates the 302 of 506 need for the proposed land use amendment and rezoning must be provided within the application. In terms of overall density, the new Master Plan represents relatively little change from the first Master Plan approved for the property (184 units as compared to 174 units). The property’s current future land use classification is Medium Density Residential, which allows for the requested number of units. The type of units— rental apartments—reflects a strong market demand, fueled by victims of foreclosures and others prevented from getting a mortgage by restrictive underwriting criteria, as well as rising home prices and stagnant wages. Moreover, given the proximity of the school, many alternative uses for the property (particularly the previously proposed industral use) would create compatibility issues. b. Consistency. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would be consistent with the purpose and intent of, and promote, the applicable Comprehensive Plan policies, Redevelopment Plans, and Land Development Regulations. The proposed rezoning with a new Master Plan is consistent with all applicable policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations (see also response to {a}). In particular, the Comprehensive Plan explicitely supports proximity of schools to residential areas (Policy 10 B.1.5). c. Land Use Pattern. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would be contrary to the established land use pattern, or would create an isolated zoning district or an isolated land use classification unrelated to adjacent and nearby classifications, or would constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare. This factor is not intended to exclude FLUM reclassifications and rezonings that would result in more desirable and sustainable growth for the community. The proposed rezoning will not be contrary to the established land use pattern, will not create an isolated district, nor will it constitute a grant of special privilege to the owner. The property is already classified Medium Density Residential, which allows density of 10 dwelling units per acre. (See also response to “a”.) Moreover, the property is surrounded by diverse land uses, including industrial uses. d. Sustainability. Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would support the integration of a mix of land uses consistent with the Smart Growth or sustainability initiatives, with an emphasis on 1) complementary land uses; 2) access to alternative modes of transportation; and 3) interconnectivity within the project and between adjacent properties. The subject rezoning would support the integration of the two complementary uses, residential apartments and a school with its athletic field area. Pedestrian access gate will provide interconnectivity between the residential part of the project and the athletic field area, while interconnectivity with adjacent properties will be maintained through sidewalks along High Ridge Road and Minor Road. 303 of 506 In addition to proximity of the school, and industrial and commercial uses as employment centers, the project is located within ½ mile from the regional transit network of Tri-Rail, giving future residents convenient access to the three-county labor market. e. Availability of Public Services / Infrastructure. All requests for Future Land Use Map amendments shall be reviewed for long-term capacity availability at the maximum intensity permitted under the requested land use classification. This request is for rezoning only. Long-term capacity availability for potable water, sewer and solid waste was reviewed as a part of annexation of the property in 2005. The Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority determined that sufficient disposal capacity will be available at the existing landfill through approximately the year 2046. Traffic and school concurrency will be reviewed as part of the site plan. Drainage will be reviewed in detail as part of the site plan, land development, and building permit review processes. f. Compatibility. The application shall consider the following factors to determine compatibility: (1) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning would be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or would negatively affect the property values of adjacent and nearby properties; and (2) Whether the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment (FLUM) and rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of the neighborhood and the City as a whole. (1) The proposed rezoning is compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and nearby properties: there is a considerable diversity of land uses in proximity of the subject property, from residential uses of various types and densities to institutional and industrial uses. For example, Cedar Ridge Estates, east of the property, are developed with both townhomes and single family homes; the townhome section of the Estates has the density of 8.09 du/acre (as compared with the 10 du/acre for the proposed project). Staff foresees no negative impact on property values. (2) The rezoning, increasing the housing choices, is related to the needs of both. (See also a response to {a}). g. Direct Economic Development Benefits. For rezoning/FLUM amendments involving rezoning to a planned zoning district, the review shall consider the 304 of 506 economic benefits of the proposed amendment, specifically, whether the proposal would: (1) Further implementation of the Economic Development (ED) Program; (2) Contribute to the enhancement and diversification of the City’s tax base; (3) Respond to the current market demand or community needs or provide services or retail choices not locally available; (4) Create new employment opportunities for the residents, with pay at or above the county average hourly wage; (5) Represent innovative methods/technologies, especially those promoting sustainability; (6) Be complementary to existing uses, thus fostering synergy effects; and (7) Alleviate blight/economic obsolescence of the subject area. As already noted in this report, the proposed rezoning does not involve a change in a land use classification of subject property, nor does it represent a significant change in density from the first Master Plan approved on the property. The project certainly complies with criteria #2, #3 (see response to “a”), and also #6, the latter through complementarity between the school and the residential component of the PUD. h. Commercial and Industrial Land Supply. The review shall consider whether the proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would reduce the amount of land available for commercial/industrial development. If such determination is made, the approval can be recommended under the following conditions: (1) The size, shape, and/or location of the property makes it unsuitable for commercial/industrial development; or (2) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment provides substantiated evidence of satisfying at least four of the Direct Economic Development Benefits listed in subparagraph “g” above; and (3) The proposed rezoning/FLUM amendment would result in comparable or higher employment numbers, building size and valuation than the potential of existing land use designation and/or rezoning. The proposed rezoning does not change the type of land use allowed on the property. i. Alternative Sites. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for the proposed use in zoning districts where such use is already allowed. N/A. The use is already allowed. j. Master Plan and Site Plan Compliance with Land Development Regulations. When master plan and site plan review are required pursuant to Section 2.D.1.e above, both shall comply with the requirements of the respective zoning district regulations of Chapter 3, Article III and the site development standards of Chapter 4. 305 of 506 The concurrent master plan and site plan shall comply with said requirements. RECOMMENDATION As indicated herein, staff has reviewed the proposed land use amendment and rezoning and determined that it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan objectives and contributes to economic development. Therefore, staff recommends that the subject request be approved. S:\Planning\SHARED\WP\PROJECTS\High Ridge- New Urban Communities\REZN 14-002\Staff Report High Ridge NUC PUD.doc 306 of 506 9.

Applicant: Ron Roan of High Ridge Housing, LLC. (TABLED TO 10/7/14) ER: The applicant is requesting a major site plan modification for XPLANATION OF EQUEST High Ridge Landing PUD to modify the approved Master Plan and Site Plan by revising the total number of units (184 is the maximum allowed at 10 dwelling units per acre), changing the type of housing proposed, and revising related site improvements. The owner of property occupied by Imagine Charter School (currently zoned R-2) and the new owner of the remaining parcel (currently zoned PUD) are jointly requesting a concurrent rezoning of the entire 18.44 acres to PUD with a new master plan that would integrate the proposed residential component with the existing school and soon-to-be developed athletic field (see REZN 14-002). According to the site plan, a total of 325 parking spaces are provided, which is a deficiency of 55 spaces and an equivalent of 1.7 parking spaces per unit. The applicant has noted that 1.7 parking spaces per unit is an accepted industry standard that has been utilized in other “New Urban” style developments that offer a range of on-site amenities, and are located in close proximity to off-site amenities and uses that will serve the neighborhood. Staff has researched this and is proposing a code revision to the parking regulations (CDRV 14-002) concurrent with this request that will facilitate a reduction in required parking spaces while promoting and recognizing developments 307 of 506 that propose sustainable design or operation. Based on the proposed code revision (CDRV 14-002), parking ratios of 1.33 spaces per each one (1)-bedroom apartment (reduction of .17/unit) and 1.66 spaces per each two (2) or more bedroom apartment (a reduction of .34/unit), the 325 parking spaces proposed would comply with the minimum off-street parking requirements. The Planning & Development Board at their July 22, 2014 meeting voted to deny the major site plan modification request. H?

East: Right-of-way of High Ridge Road, then developed industrial property (High Ridge Commerce Center) classified I (Industrial) future land use, and zoned PID (Planned Industrial Development), and to the northeast, Cedar Ridge Estates PUD with single family homes and townhomes (townhomes built at 8.04 du/acre), classified LDR (Low Density Residential) and zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development); and, West: Undeveloped property (High Ridge Country Club) designated LDR (Low Density Residential) and zoned R1AA (Single Family Residential), and farther west, High Ridge Country Club golf course and clubhouse classified REC (Recreation) future land use, and zoned REC (Recreation). BACKGROUND Agent Brian Cheguis with Cotleur & Hearing Inc., on behalf of applicant Ron Roan, Vice- President of High Ridge Housing LLC, is requesting a major site plan modification for High Ridge Landing PUD to modify the approved Master Plan and Site Plan by revising the total number of units, changing the type of housing proposed, and revising related site improvements (see Exhibit “B” – Site Plan). The owner of property occupied by Imagine Charter School (currently zoned R-2) and the new owner of the remaining parcel (currently zoned PUD) are jointly requesting a concurrent rezoning of the entire 18.44 acres to PUD with a new master plan that would integrate the proposed residential component with the existing school and soon-to-be developed athletic field (see REZN 14-002). Pedestrian walking paths with gate access and a shared driveway access from Miner Road will provide interconnectivity between the residential part of the PUD and the school and athletic field, while interconnectivity with adjacent properties will be maintained through sidewalks along High Ridge Road and Miner Road. The maximum density allowed by the MeDR (Medium Density Residential) land use classification is 10 dwelling units per acre (at time of previous site plan approval MeDR was 9.68 du/ac), which would provide the developer a maximum of 184 units. The previous approval in 2007 (MSPM 07-010) for High Ridge PUD was for 110 single-family detached units on 18.44 5.96 dwelling units per acre (du/ac), a net reduction of 64 units from the acres at a density of previously approved 2005 site plan. The original site plan in 2005 (NWSP 05-016) was approved for 48 single-family detached units and 126 fee-simple townhouse units at a density of 9.43 du/ac. Due to the modified design from single-family lots and interior streets, a revised plat 310 of 506 is required to be submitted to the Engineering Division for their review and approval prior to the issuance of a building permit for the project (see Exhibit “C” – Conditions of Approval). To date, the High Ridge PUD project has been approved for the following: an annexation (ANEX 05-001); a future land use map amendment (LUAR 05-002) from PBC MDR (Medium Density Residential) with a density of 5 dwelling units per acre, and PBC LR-2 (Low Density Residential) with a density of 2 dwelling units per acre to the City’s MeDR (Medium Density Residential) classification with a density of 9.68 dwelling units per acre; a rezoning (LUAR 05- 002) from PBC RS (Single-Family Residential) to PUD (Planned Unit Development); a new site plan (NWSP 05-016); a minor site plan modification (MMSP 06-051); and a site plan time extension (SPTE 06-013), which extended site plan approval to September 20, 2007; a major site plan modification (MSPM 07-010) and a site plan time extension granted by state law in 2012. ANALYSIS Concurrency: Traffic: A traffic impact analysis for the proposed project prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency review in order to ensure an adequate level of service. Based on the traffic impact analysis, all significantly impacted links (using Level of Service D and E service volumes) would operate acceptably through build-out of the project in 2019. A traffic concurrency approval letter was received from Palm Beach County indicating that 94 AM peak hour trips and 114 PM peak hour trips would be generated as a result of this project, and that no permits are to be issued after the build-out date of 2019. In 2007, land was dedicated from the previous owner of the subject property to Palm Beach County for future High Ridge Road right-of-way. Per the submitted traffic impact analysis, a review was conducted of the Five Year Plans of Palm Beach County and FDOT, as well as those improvements committed to by the developers of projects in the area. Based on the review, no roadway improvements are projected to be within the project’s impact radius. Also the projected turning movement volumes for the project did not exceed the specified volume thresholds, therefore no additional turn lanes were recommended. The School District of Palm Beach County has reviewed the School: application for a concurrency determination on the proposed project of 184 apartment units and found it complies with the adopted Level of Service (LOS) for Schools. Adequate capacity exists in area public schools to accommodate the projected resident population. Utilities: The City’s water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the projected potable water needs for this project. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is also currently available to serve this project. 311 of 506 Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City’s review. The Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time of permit review. All South Florida Water Management District permits and other drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit. Police/Fire: The Police Department has reviewed the site plan and all review comments have been acknowledged by the applicant and will be addressed at the time of permitting. Police staff has determined that current staffing levels would be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. The Fire Department expects to be able to maintain an adequate level of service for the subject project with current or expected infrastructure and/or staffing levels. Further plan review by Police and Fire, including infrastructure requirements such as fire hydrants, would be addressed during the permitting process. Access: The proposed development of rental apartments would be gated for privacy. One (1) main point of ingress/egress via a driveway connection to High Ridge Road is proposed (see Exhibit “B” – Site Plan). The access would be located approximately 400 feet from the intersection of High Ridge Road and Miner Road and align with Commerce Road located on the east side of High Ridge Road. The site plan shows that there are two (2) lanes for ingress into the subject property, and one (1) egress lane to exit, separated by a landscaped median 12 feet wide and approximately 115 feet long. All ingress and egress lanes are 12 feet wide. The left ingress lane includes a call box for visitors to gain entry through the gates, and the right ingress lane serves as a bypass lane for residents. A queuing area 105 feet in length is provided from the access at High Ridge Road to the call box, allowing for the stacking of several vehicles on-site. Past the median is a proposed 2-way drive aisle flanked on the north and south by an access gate that would allow residents entry into the development. The 24 foot wide drive aisle would also serve as a vehicular turn-around area for drivers that cannot enter through the security gates. A secondary point of ingress/egress is from the existing full access drive on Miner Road located approximately 450 feet from the intersection of Miner Road and High Ridge Road. A two-way gated access point for resident access only is located off the existing Miner Road driveway. All gates would have lock boxes for Fire Department access. The driveway openings allow for sufficient ingress and egress of emergency and service vehicles. The plans also show a 20-foot wide emergency access point from High Ridge Road near the northeast corner of the site. This stabilized sod access route would be gated and used for emergency purposes only if the main entrance is obstructed. Vehicular circulation within the development is provided through private drive aisles. Each two (2)-way drive aisle would have 12.5 foot wide travel lanes, which would conform to current engineering standards. Some residents would access their garage space via these drive aisles, while other residents without a garage space would access parking spaces near their residential building. The sidewalks are proposed separately from the vehicular use areas, and provide pedestrian connectivity throughout the site. Sidewalks ranging from four (4) to seven (7) feet wide throughout the development and provide pedestrian access to amenities such as the recreation building, pool, and poolside gazebo, and lake. 312 of 506 Parking: Both garage and surface parking spaces are proposed for the development. The current parking regulations require one and one-half (1.5) parking space per one (1)-bedroom apartment. Two (2) and three (3)-bedroom apartments require two (2) parking spaces per unit. The project proposes 48 one (1)-bedroom units, and 136 two (2)-bedroom and three (3)-bedroom units. The recreational amenity area requires 0.15 per unit for guest parking plus one (1) space per 300 square feet of area within the recreation building that is devoted to leasing and offices. Based on the above current parking regulations, a minimum of 380 spaces are required for the 184 proposed units and recreational amenity area (equivalent to 2.06 parking spaces per unit). According to the site plan, a total of 325 parking spaces are provided, which is a deficiency of 55 spaces and an equivalent of 1.7 parking spaces per unit. The applicant has noted that 1.7 parking spaces per unit is an accepted industry standard that has been utilized in other “New Urban” style developments that offer a range of on-site amenities, and are located in close proximity to off- site amenities and uses that will serve the neighborhood. Staff has researched this and is proposing a code revision to the parking regulations (CDRV 14-002) concurrent with this request that will facilitate a reduction in required parking spaces while promoting and recognizing developments that propose sustainable design or operation. Based on the proposed code revision parking ratios of 1.33 spaces per each one (1)-bedroom apartment (reduction of .17/unit) and 1.66 spaces per each two (2) or more bedroom apartment (a reduction of .34/unit), the 325 parking spaces proposed would comply with the minimum off-street parking requirements, should the code revision (CDRV 14-002) be adopted as proposed. The proposed development is located within close proximity to job centers, institutional uses, public recreational natural lands, and public transportation systems (within 0.5 mile of the Boynton Beach Tri-Rail station and Palm Tran bus stop). The applicant is encouraging a range of sustainable initiatives as part of the built and operational programming of the site by incentivizing the use of alternative modes of transportation. Proposed is a sustainable living environment that accommodates bikes, low-powered mopeds and scooters, motorcycles, compact vehicles, and electric vehicles, and provides integrated pedestrian facilities within the community. Operational rules shall be proposed regarding the maximum number of vehicles per unit, especially lesser used vehicles such as recreational, work, or utility vehicles and equipment. Incentives shall be proposed for single vehicle households or those regularly using or dependent on public transportation, while one (1)-bedroom units with more than one (1) car, and two (2)-bedroom units with more than two (2) cars may pay more rent each month. All proposed parking stalls, including the size and location of the handicap space, were reviewed and approved by both the Engineering Division and Building Division. In addition, all necessary traffic control signage and pavement markings will be provided to clearly delineate areas on site and direction of circulation. Landscape: Site plan tabular data indicates the pervious area (open space, buffer, recreation area, and lake) would total 29% of the entire site. A total of 1.74 acres of the subject property would be landscaped open space and buffers. This pervious surface would account for 21% of the total site. The landscape plan provides a complimentary mix of canopy trees and palms exceeding the City’s minimum 313 of 506 landscape requirements, and proposes buffers around the perimeter of the entire development; landscape islands throughout the off-street parking areas; and foundation plantings around all building elevations. Proposed plant material is limited by the landscape code to native and drought tolerant species with low to medium water needs (waterwise Florida- friendly plants). Tree species would include the following:Black Olive, Gumbo Limbo, Sweet Mahogany, Brazilian Beautyleaf, Cassia, Royal Poinciana, Slash Pine, Live Oak, Silver Buttonwood, and East Palatka Holly. Palm species would include the Green Malayan Coconut, European Fan, Sabal, Montgomery, Alexander, Christmas, Pygmy Date, Royal, and Bismarck palms. The landscape plans indicate compliance with the required minimum buffers around the perimeter of the site. Landscape buffers along the rights-of- way of High Ridge Road and Miner Road would be 15 feet wide and contain alternating Live Oak and East Palatka Holly canopy trees planted every 30 feet and a continuous hedge three (3) feet in height of Red-tip Cocoplum. A decorative five (5) foot high aluminum rail fence with brick columns would be located on the outside edge of the Cocoplum hedge and have clustered Viburnum shrubs around each brick column. Outside the fence would be a continuous hedge of variegated Pittosporum two (2) feet in height and Green Island Ficus groundcover to the property lines. Similar landscaping is proposed along the east side of the Miner Road access drive. The landscape buffer along the west property line is existing and is located adjacent to a buffer for High Ridge Country Club. A total of eight (8) Florida Royal palm trees 22 feet in height are proposed along main entrance leading to the recreational amenity area. Bismarck Palms are proposed within the main entrance median. The pool and cabana area would be heavily landscaped with a variety of plant material. Lake planting will include upland transitional plants such as Bald Cypress and Dahoon Holly. Littoral plantings within the lake would include Canna Lily, Spike Rush, Pickerel Weed, Duck Potato, and Water Lily. The code limits the use of sod to larger open spaces for passive or active recreation purposes, as well as swales, water detention and retention areas, in an effort to reduce water consumption. The applicant has reduced the amount of sodded areas from the original submittal, limiting placement to the rear yard play area. If the areas labeled Active Rec/Sod Areas to the rear of Buildings 1, 2, 4, and 6 remain sodded, staff proposes a condition of approval that the plans be revised to indicate relocation of landscaping to provide pedestrian accessibility to these areas for all residents of the development for recreational purposes, and include continuous walking paths and signage as dog walk areas (see Exhibit “C” – Conditions of Approval). Burford Holly at four (4) feet in height is proposed to screen the trash compactor. All above-ground mechanical equipment such as exterior utility boxes, meters, transformers, and back-flow preventers would be visually screened with three (3)-foot high Viburnum hedges. Each building would have landscape material proposed along all four (4) building sides. Select trees would be installed at half the building height. Buildings: The 184 units are proposed within 8 separate three (3)-story buildings consisting of Type 1, Type II, and Type III buildings. The site plan indicates the 184 314 of 506 proposed units would include the following mix: 48 one (1)-bedroom, one (1)- bath units; 112 two-(2) bedroom, two (2)-bath units; and 24 three (3)-bedroom, two (2)-bath units. Each Type I building would contain a total of 20 two (2) bedrooms units. The Type I building is arranged with eight (8) units on the first and second floor and four (4) units on the third floor. Each unit would be a total of 1000 square feet. The Type 1 buildings proposed are Building #4 and Building #6 located adjacent to High Ridge Road. Each Type II building would contain a total of 24 units consisting of 12 units that are two (2)-bedroom, and 12 units that are three (3)-bedroom. The Type II building is arranged with a mix of four (4) two (2)-bedroom units and four (4) three (3)-bedroom units on each of the three (3) floors. Each two (2)-bedroom unit would be a total of 1000 square feet, and each three (3)-bedroom unit would be 1,200 square feet. The Type II buildings proposed are Building #1 located near the intersection of High Ridge Road and Miner Road, and Building #5 located south of the lake. Each Type III building would contain a total of 24 units consisting of 12 units that are one (1)-bedroom, and 12 units that are two (2)-bedroom.The Type III building is arranged with a mix of four (4) one (1)-bedroom units and four (4) two (2)-bedroom units on each of the three (3) floors. Each one (1)-bedroom unit would be a total of 800 square, and each two (2)-bedroom unit would be 1,000 square feet. The Type III buildings proposed are Buildings #2 and #3 located near the Miner Road access drive, and Buildings #7, and #8 located near the lake. Height: The maximum building height allowed in the PUD zoning district is 45 feet, not to exceed four (4) stories. All of the residential buildings will comply with the maximum height requirement for the PUD zoning district. Each of the proposed buildings is three (3) stories with a total mean building height of 34 feet nine- inches (34’-9”), measured at the mid-point of the highest pitched roof. Setbacks: The minimum required perimeter building setbacks of a PUD are flexible, however, the required perimeter building setbacks of the PUD must resemble the setbacks of the adjacent development where a PUD is adjacent to single-family residential zoning. The largest setback required within single-family residential zoning districts is 25 feet. All proposed buildings would have a minimum setback of 25 feet from perimeter property lines in compliance with PUD setback requirements. Amenities: Residents and their guests will have access to recreational amenities through landscaped pedestrian walkways throughout the development. The proposed amenity area is centrally located and includes a one (1)-story recreation building of 4,000 square feet with the same architectural elements as the residential buildings. The recreation building will offer a large clubroom for meetings and social events, a large fitness room, an internet café, a kid’s playroom, restrooms, covered front and rear porches, and a mail kiosk. A portion of the recreation building will also house the apartment leasing, management, and maintenance offices, including golf cart storage. A swimming pool (approximately 800 square feet), spa, and poolside gazebo are proposed to the rear of the recreation building. Pedestrian amenities throughout the development would include benches, covered bike racks, and trash receptacles. 315 of 506 Design: The proposed buildings have a Florida Vernacular architectural style that includes a textured stucco finish, shaped horizontal banding to break up the mass of the facades, and flat clay tile roofs. Horizontal and vertical articulation is maximized by varying roof lines and building off-sets. Decorative features will include mullioned windows, Bahama shutters, coach lights, balconies with decorative aluminum railings, cast stone pilasters, French doors, and screened patios. A pastel color palette includes a separate building color for each building type. The design, as proposed, would provide for a sense of separation between units and lessen the perceived density typical of multi-family developments. The photometric plan (sheet A5.01 PH) proposes 40 freestanding Lighting: pole light fixtures throughout the development. The plan demonstrates that lighting levels would be adequate and not “spill” over onto adjacent properties. Per the photometric plan, all proposed lights will be shielded to direct light down and away from adjacent properties and rights-of-way as required. Signage: The site plan depicts a two-sided monument entry sign proposed 10 feet from the east property line within the development’s driveway median. The proposed sign will identify the name of the development and include the property address. The sign itself is limited to five (5) feet in height and the maximum sign face allowed is 16 square feet, and shall be externally illuminated. Typically, sign details are provided as part of the site plan review and approval, however no sign details were included on the plans. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the plans be revised at time of permitting to include all proposed signage. The architecture, building materials, finish, and colors are required to be incorporated into the signage to match the buildings. Public Art: The proposed project is subject to the Art in Public Places Ordinance which requires the developer to either place public art on site or pay the art fee in lieu of on-site art. The developer of this project has indicated that payment will be made at time of permitting into the Public Art fund, rather than placing public art on site. RECOMMENDATION: The Development Application Review Team (DART) has reviewed this request for major site plan modification and recommends approval contingent upon approval of the concurrent request for rezoning (REZN 14-002) ) including a new master plan, and the concurrent code revisions for parking (CDRV 14-002), and upon satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit “C” – Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

ER: XPLANATION OF EQUEST On August 5, 2014, Commission requested staff to provide a report regarding: (1) the current policies and ordinances in effect at the City that address non-discrimination and (2) the impacts of adding domestic partnership benefits. H? OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES (1) Non-discrimination Policies (a) The Palm Beach Human Rights Council has asked the City to consider updating its non-discrimination policies to include “gender identity or expression.” The City’s Personnel Policy Manual contains the following Equal Employment Opportunity Statement: The City of Boynton Beach is an Equal Opportunity Employer and prohibits discrimination because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, political affiliation, disability (except where such factor is a bona fide occupational qualification or is required by State and/or Federal law), sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status and/or other protected class status in all aspects of its personnel policies, programs, practices, recruitment, examination, appointment, training, promotion, retention or any other actions and operations. 328 of 506 The six Collective Bargaining Agreements each have an article that addresses non- discrimination. (Attached) Any changes to expand benefits to the general employee population would then be noticed to each of the Unions. (b) The Palm Beach Human Rights Council has asked the City to consider adopting a Civil Rights Ordinance as modeled on p.2 of their memorandum. (See Attachment) The City does not currently have an ordinance in place. (2) Domestic Partnership Benefits The Palm Beach Human Rights Council has asked the City to consider adding domestic partnership benefits to our group insurance plans and to our family sick leave, bereavement, family and medical leave, and employee assistance programs. With regard to group insurance plans, the IRS now recognizes, for tax purposes, same- sex marriage in states where it is legal. Employees in a same-sex marriage, who are married in a state where same-sex marriage is legal, are able to have their dependents participate in our group employee benefits when eligible. Although this recognition has expanded eligibility for some same-sex couples, it does not address those who are in same-sex relationships who have not married in states where it is legal or those who are opposite sex couples who choose not to get married. Our benefits consultant, Gehring Group, stated that they have seen employer groups consistently adding domestic partnership to their group insurance benefits and that the enrollment is typically less than 1% of the employee population. This statement is consistent with the data provided by The Palm Beach Human Rights Council (p. ii – iii of their memorandum, attached). A couple who wishes to become registered domestic partners in Palm Beach County may register with the county for a $50.00 filing fee. Palm Beach County has established a formal domestic partner registry in which the following requirements must be met: • Each party is at least 18 years old and competent to contract; • Neither party is married, nor a partner to another domestic partnership relationship; • Each party is the sole domestic partner of the other person; • Each party is not related to the other by blood; • Both parties consent to the domestic partnership relationship without force, duress or fraud; • Both parties agree to be jointly responsible for each other’s basic food, shelter, common necessities of life and welfare; • Neither party has been a member of another domestic partnership for the past year; • Each party shares his or her primary residence with the other; • Each party considers himself/herself to be a member of the immediate family of the other partner. In addition to the group insurance coverage, recognition of domestic partner dependents for City employee benefits would also include family sick leave, leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act, access to the employee assistance program, and 329 of 506 bereavement leave. (The SEIU Blue and White Collar Collective Bargaining Agreements currently allow for bereavement benefits to apply to registered domestic partners.) Use of these benefits is either sporadic or uncertain and it is expected that the cost associated with extending City benefits to cover domestic partner dependents to be de minimus. FI: ISCAL MPACT (1) Non-discrimination Policies There is no monetary impact to adding “gender identity or expression” to the City’s non- discrimination policies. (2) Domestic Partnership Benefits Currently, employees pay 100% of the premium for any dependents they cover on their insurance plans; therefore, there is no direct increase in premium costs associated with adding domestic-partnership benefits. Whenever a dependent is added to a City plan, there is an expectation that the dependent will utilize the insurance. Each year, our claims experience is analyzed by the insurance companies who currently hold our business or wish to bid on our business. Through an analysis of our claims experience and demographic make-up as a group, our premiums are calculated. There is no way to pre-determine or to otherwise speculate as to the amount of cost exposure a dependent’s use of insurance will create. For the non-insurance benefits, any costs associated are expected to be de minimus. A: To be determined depending on City Commission Action.

Applicant: City-initiated. (TABLED -- TO BE HEARD ON 9/16/14) ER: The proposed amendments represents one component in a XPLANATION OF EQUEST series of changes to the City’s parking requirements intended to directly support Smart Growth initiatives. The staff report elaborates on the background of Smart Growth and it’s connection to parking requirements and development review; however, to summarize, the subject amendments are based on the premise that parking requirements should be tailored based on the specific needs of a given development, which may vary by factors other than a general zoning use category. In addition, it represents a change from traditional thinking that parking standards should be based on maximum possible peak demand. The intended purpose is to minimize impervious site surfaces, maximize green/pervious areas, and incentivize sustainable or smart growth operations. More specifically, the proposed amendments allow certain uses to justify a reduced parking ratio by independent professional parking analysis, and in turn, ensure a more efficiently designed site that accommodates electric and compact vehicles, and other energy efficient modes of transportation such as bicycles, motorcycles and scooters. It also requires promotion of car-pooling and use of mass transit. 354 of 506 A second aspect of the proposed regulations is the amendment to provisions that currently allow the minimum number of required off-street parking spaces for a given project to be satisfied, in part, by including those on-street spaces that immediately abut the frontage of the project. The only areas of the City that are currently eligible for this provision include the CBD, the Mixed Use High Zoning Districts, and properties within the Ocean District Community Redevelopment Plan. Staff proposes that the provisions be expanded to be applicable throughout the Community Redevelopment Area. Lastly, the Planning & Development Board forwards the item with a recommendation for approval, but also recommends that the calculation of required handicap accessible spaces remain unaffected by the proposed parking reduction provisions. This recommendation has been accommodated by wording added to the first paragraph under “Section 3. Special Reductions in Required Off-Street Parking” (see Exhibit “A”), that requires the calculation of accessible parking spaces be pursuant to the base parking requirements and not the reduced parking provisions. Staff supports this recommendation given that the justification for reducing total parking space requirements – smart growth design and operation, would not necessarily reduce the anticipated need for accessible parking spaces for a given project. A cross-reference to this requirement is also proposed to Section 5. B. Handicap Accessible Off-Street Parking. H? The proposed amendments OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES promote smart growth design and operation which furthers the City’s Climate Action Plan and other green initiatives.

Disaster-generated debris removal management plan; authority, priorities and limitations. 396 of 506 The City Manager, or designee, shall have the authority, to remove disaster-generated debris located within the City of Boynton Beach on city-owned property, county/state-owned roads, and private roads after the declaration of any state of emergency pursuant to this article. The removal of such disaster-generated debris is authorized only after a major disaster or a catastrophic disaster and upon the determination by the City Manager, or designee, that such removal is reasonable necessary to (i) eliminate immediate threats to life, public health, and safety; (ii) eliminate immediate threats of significant damage to city property or facilities; or (iii) ensure economic recovery of the affected community to the benefit of the community-at-large. (1) An immediate threat to life, public health, and safety shall be deemed to exist if any one of the following conditions is satisfied: a. There is a significant likelihood that rescue vehicles will be significantly hindered from rendering emergency services if the disaster-generated debris is allowed to remain in place; b. The type of disaster-generated debris is such that it may reasonably cause disease, illness, or sickness which could injure or adversely affect the health, safety, or general welfare of those residing and working in the area if it is allowed to remain; c. The removal of the disaster-generated debris is necessary to effectuate orderly and expeditious restoration of city-wide utility services including, but not limited to, power, water, sewer, telephone and solid waste collection; d. The disaster-generated debris is determined by the City of Boynton Beach Building Official or Public Health Official to be dangerous or hazardous; e. The disaster-generated debris prevents garbage collection, thereby creating a public health and safety hazard; f. The disaster-generated debris contains contaminants which have a reasonable likelihood of leeching into the soil and/or aquifer of the city; g. The disaster-generated debris has a substantial negative impact upon public health and safety by preventing or adversely affecting emergency repairs to buildings and/or property; h. The disaster-generated debris presents a reasonable danger of being transported by wind and/or water to neighboring properties, thereby increasing the cost of recovery and removal; i. The disaster-generated debris is significantly likely to produce mold or may otherwise cause disease, illness, or sickness which could injure or adversely affect the health, safety, or general welfare of the public; j. The presence of the disaster-generated debris significantly adversely impacts the city’s recovery efforts; k. The disaster-generated debris significantly interferes with drainage or water runoff, so as to be a significant hazard in the event of significant rainfall; l. The sheer volume of the disaster-generated debris is such that it is impractical and unreasonable to remove in an orderly and efficient manner absent action by the city; or m. The type, extent and nature of the disaster-generated debris is such that it would cause much greater damage if not removed immediately. (2) An immediate threat of significant damage to city property or facilities shall be deemed to exist if the cost to remove the disaster- generated debris is less than the cost of potential damage to the city property or facility, thereby being a cost effective removal. (3) In removing disaster-generated debris from county-owned or state owned property and rights-of-way, the highest priority shall initially be given to responding to immediate threats to life, public health, and safety; eliminating immediate threat of significant damage to county and state property or facilities; and pushing or removing disaster-generated debris from county/state rights-of-way to permit safe passage. (4) The removal of disaster-generated debris shall begin as soon as functionally feasible after the occurrence of a major disaster or catastrophic disaster. The primary operation of the city work forces will be to cut and toss disaster-generated debris depositing it along county or state 397 of 506 rights-of-way, thereby creating access to the major arterial roadways to allow for expedited search and rescue efforts as well as recovery efforts. Upon completion of the cut and toss operation, city work forces will begin the removal of other disaster-generated debris. The owners of private property, or those individuals otherwise in possession of private property, adjoining county/state rights-of-way may place disaster-generated debris in the county and/or state right-of-way. The community-at-large will be notified via press releases, city web-page, local media of the initial start date for removal of disaster-generated debris by city work forces and will subsequently be notified prior to the last removal pass by city work forces. After the last such removal pass, city residents will be responsible for the removal of any remaining disaster-generated debris in compliance with pre-disaster collection requirements whether they be self-provided, provided through a private contractor, or provided through regular waste disposable services. (5) The city shall, subject to the restrictions and requirements of F.S. Section 768.28, indemnify and hold the federal government, its agencies and employees, harmless from any claims arising from or based upon the exercise or performance of, or the failure to exercise or perform, a discretionary function or duty on the part of any federal agency or any employee of the federal government in carrying out the provisions of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act). (6) The owners of private property, or those individuals otherwise in possession of private property, shall be responsible for assuring that the placement of any disaster-generated debris in city/county/state rights-of-way or on private roads for removal by city work forces satisfies the following conditions: a. The disaster-generated debris shall be neatly stacked, piled, or placed with its leading edge lying within the three-foot roadside shoulder area on either side of the travel lanes of the road. b. The disaster-generated debris shall be separated into stacks or piles of the following types of debris as defined in this article: 1. Putrescent debris and mixed common household items. 2. Vegetative debris. 3. Construction and demolition debris. 4. White goods. 5. Hazardous household waste and electronic waste. c. The disaster-generated debris shall be placed so that it is not under any power lines, not on top of any water meters, or not within three feet of any power poles, fire hydrants, vehicles, mailboxes, or fences. (7) Any damage to personal property by city work forces resulting from the placement of disaster-generated debris in a manner inconsistent with this section shall be the responsibility of the private property owner, or individual otherwise in possession of private property, who misplaced such debris. (8) Any owners of private property, or any individuals otherwise in possession of private property, who stack, pile, or otherwise place anything for removal on city/county/state rights-of- way or on private roads which is deemed not to be disaster-generated debris, shall be responsible for removing such unauthorized debris no later than 24 hours after notification of such removal requirement by a member of the city work forces. Any such owner or other individual who fails to timely comply with such removal requirement shall thereafter be responsible for any costs associated with the removal of such unauthorized debris by city work forces. (9) Removal of hazardous trees or hazardous limbs. The removal of disaster-generated debris consisting of either hazardous trees or hazardous limbs overhanging or otherwise endangering a private road shall be deemed to be the responsibility of the adjacent private property owners and, as such, the city work forces shall not be authorized to remove or to otherwise act upon such 398 of 506 disaster-generated debris unless it is necessary to eliminate an immediate threat to the safety of city work forces. Secs. 10-33—10-49. Reserved. Section 3. Each and every other provision of Chapter 10, not herein specifically amended shall remain in full force and effect as previously enacted. Section 4. All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict herewith be and the same are hereby repealed. Section 5. Should any section or provision of this ordinance or portion hereof, any paragraph, sentence or word be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the remainder of this ordinance.
