on the recent legislative sessions.

greatest numbers of Bills that preempted local government authority. With regards to
3
Meeting Minutes
City Commission
Boynton Beach, FI June 20, 2017
Charter Schools, if a Charter School opened in certain specific facilities such as
churches, theaters or community centers, the local government was prohibited from
filing any zoning or site plan approvals.
Representative Berman reported there was a Construction Bill related to the design and
construction or location of signs regarding the retail price of gasoline. As part of that bill
there were some items regarding franchise signs.
She advised the State will preempt any regulation regarding drones. Local governments
will have authority to enact and enforce local ordinances relating to nuisances,
voyeurism, reckless endangerment, property damage and other illegal acts from the
drones.
Representative Berman indicated Uber and Lyft were both preempted by the State. The
State has set up framework and has certain requirements regarding fingerprints and
safety. The entire transportation networks, are regulated by the State.
Utilities are moving towards 5G upgrade. A Bill was passed if utilities wanted to co -
locate the wireless communication infrastructure on an existing pole; the City is limited
to collect a $150 in fees.
Public Works projects preemption, if the local government takes 50% or more from
State of Florida the local governments are restricted on any conditions that can be
placed on contractors and subcontractors. She gave some examples.
Representative Berman noted the Senate overruled some of the vetoed items that
helped the cause.
This session passed the sale of medical marijuana. She explained that it would be up to
the local government whether or not the City wanted to have dispensaries within the
Cities boundary. She stated the only requirement for medical marijuana was that the
City cannot treat the dispensary any differently from any business that sells alcohol.
The budget was $82.5 billion. The Legislatures were able to get some funding for new
facilities for the Universities and some water projects. Representative Berman said
there was a project for recidivism in the Glades regarding people released from prison,
the program received $500,000.
Senator Clemons stressed that he did not vote for most of the items. What he spent
most of the legislative session working on was to bring some dollars home. He
explained that Palm Beach County was able to get $1 million for Lake Worth Lagoon
cleanup. The entire state will benefit from the cleanup. Senator Clemons said that
some landmark legislation passed in the last session. He has been working on the
Sober Home legislation for the past 4 years. Dealing with recovery residences has
changed. The State of Florida will pursue unethical marketing practices, and make sure
4

that residents are being treated with respect. Senator Clemons said that the State was
able to refund the sober home/recovery home task force, which has been a success.
Being able to use the statewide prosecutor would help to ensure that unethical sober
homes are punished. Physicians must now report electronic opioid prescription within
24 hours.
Senator Clemons said that he was really disappointed in the public school funding.
Palm Beach County was in the bottom 10% in the nation per student funding and Palm
Beach County was last in mental health funding.
Mayor Grant asked since the Attorney General has control of the sober homes, will she
make a ruling to determine if the sober homes are considered a rooming house for
tourist developmental tax purposes.
Senator Clemons said that this has not been a part of the Attorney General's lexicon. If
you believe that this was something that can be used in order to help keep a lid on
some of the bad operators, he said that he would glad to reach out to the Attorney
General. Senator Clemons asked if the Mayor could put that in writing.
Mayor Grant responded that the Commission will prepare a letter as well as provide the
ordinance.
Senator Clemons responded that Attorney General Pam Bondi held a press conference
in Tallahassee. The Attorney General cited the City of Boynton Beach ordinance and
stated that this was the priority for her department.
Commissioner McCray asked the correct terminology for sober homes or group homes.
Senator Clemons stated the official term in State statute was Recovery Residence.
Commissioner Romelus inquired if there has been any word from the legislature to help
with short term housing in terms of home away, and getting taxes back to the City. She
explained this would offset some of the bed taxes.
Senator Clemons stated that he has been in conversation with the people who
represent Airbnb. Airbnb does not have a problem with the taxation; as long as it does
not ban them from doing business in certain communities. He said that they are
competing with traditional hotels. They should be competing on a level playing field.
Senator Clemons said that Airbnb and others like them are worried that communities
are going to ban them. He said that Miami Beach for example has placed a fee for
operating this type of business. The fines are prohibitive; between $10,000 and
$20,000.
Representative Berman said there was discussion in the House regarding regulations;
they wanted to go back to 2014, which was before they put regulations in place on

Airbnb. Doing this would have allowed the City to place more restrictions on what can
be done at the houses.
Commissioner McCray requested additional information regarding the $500,000 dollars
for people coming out of prisons. He asked what would be the effect on one individual.
Representative Berman explained the individual would go to the Pahokee facility, live
there full time and the individual will be re- integrated into society.
Commissioner Romelus asked if the purpose was to restore the rights of the parolee.
Representative Berman said that both she and the Senator would like to see the
restoration of rights. The present sitting Governor was not for restoration of rights. She
said there was a petition that was pending that could be on the ballot for 2018 to get the
prisoners' rights restored.
Commissioner McCray asked about the Restoration of Rights Bill; was the legislative
body pushing for the restoration of rights Bill.
Senator Clemons explained that he was the sponsor of the restoration of rights Bill in
the Senate. The good news was the ability to put it on the ballot in 2018. He explained
that the legislation has made it extremely difficult to place a citizen led initiative on the
ballot. The Citizens are required to collect 600,000 signatures over the next 6 months.
He said in order to get the signatures it usually entails hiring people. Senator Clemons
stated that he sits on two committees in the Senate. There has been a bipartisan effort
in the Senate to do serious criminal justice reform. He said the State of Florida needs to
stop sending people to prison who are not violent. The State of Florida sends non
violent criminals to prison for 20 years. These people must be housed, fed and treated
for medical issues.
Commissioner McCray inquired about the cost to house a prisoner for 20 years.
Senator Clemons explained that the cost to house prisoners continues to rise. It
depends on where the prisoner was housed, what type of facility. He said it was
between $19,000 to $30,000 per year, per prisoner. There are better options, other than
prisons. They are ways that the prisoners can be integrated back into our society. The
good news was the State was trying to do some downward departure. The State has
judges for a reason; give them the authority to use their judgment in setting prison
terms. He said that the State has some mandatory minimum sentencing requirements.
Senator Clemons said that putting people in jail does not stop crimes in the future.

C. Legislative session update from Mat Forrest, the City's Lobbyist.
Mat Forrest, Lobbyist, referred to the memo he sent back in May 2017. It was a very
tough year. Mr. Forrest said that he pushed for $950,000 in appropriation for the
mangrove park water quality and access improvement. The City was not successful.
Mr. Forrest said that the City of Boynton Beach was due for next year. He will be
working with staff to put together not only an aggressive water project, but a parks
project as well.
Mr. Forrest stated sober home was a huge Bill. He said people were approaching him in
opposition to the Bill. He liked the idea of a rooming house ordinance and collecting a
tourist development tax.
Mr. Forrest said that he highly recommended reviewing, HB687 the Micro Wireless
infrastructure preemption. This Bill enforces rules regarding the placing and maintaining
communication services lines/wireless facilities; prohibits authority regulation of facility
co -location; authorizes authority to require registration process and permit fees. It also
requires authority to process applications. It prohibits authority from requiring
approval/fees for maintenance/placement of facilities; provides requirements for co -
location on authority utility poles; requires authority to waive certain application and
placement requirements; prohibits authority from adopting/enforcing certain regulations
and imposing certain fees; authorizes wireless infrastructure provider to apply to place
utility poles; authorizes authority to enforce certain local codes/rules/regulations under
certain circumstances. This Bill allows for new discretion to the co -location of small
utility facilities. The size of the structure was limited. The pole must be 15 feet or
higher. He strongly recommends that the City Attorney and the Planning Department
review the bill. This could potentially open the flood gates for small fly-by-night
companies. The staff needs to be educated on what was allowed. The Bill will be very
specific. The whole idea behind the 5G system was that the utilities are going beyond
the standard cell phone tower. The utilities need the co -location on poles closer
together. Mr. Forrest said he believes that there would be a lot more applications
coming in.
Mr. Forrest mentioned in regards to vacation rentals; the Bill has two sides. The local
authority wants to have the ability to regulate the vacation rentals. The vacation rentals
company does not want to be regulated by local governmental offices. The Tax
Collector wants the ability to audit the records of the vacation rentals. The Vacation
Rental does not have a problem with the remittals but they have a problem with the
Audit. Mr. Forrest said that he believes this will eventually be worked out.
There was no shortage of bad bills. Mr. Forrest said that HB 17 would prohibit certain
local governments from imposing or adopting certain regulations on businesses,
professions and occupations after a certain date. This bill Died in the Commerce
Committee.

Mr. Forrest continued on, regarding the increase homestead property tax exemption
other than school exemptions. He understands what it would mean to the local
governments. The measure must pass by 60% because it would be an amendment to
the constitution.
Continuing on, there was some good news regarding the Public Records law as it
relates to local governments paying fees for frivolous Public Records law suits. Records
being requested for an improper purpose was one in which a person requests records
primarily to cause a violation of the public records law or for a frivolous purpose. If the
court finds that a plaintiff requested records for an improper purpose, the court will
require the plaintiff to pay the agency's attorney fees and costs.
The regular session ended on May 6th, the Special session ended on June 9th.
Mr. Forrest indicated medical marijuana was now a protected product. It was now in the
Florida Constitution. Senate Bill 8A allows local governments to regulate the location of
dispensing facilities and provides that local government may ban dispensaries within its
borders. However, if a local government permits dispensing facilities, it may not impose
limits on the number of dispensing facilities. Mr. Forrest stated that the dispensing
facility cannot be more restrictive than that of a pharmacy. He said many cities have
passed preemptive ordinances in the wake of the medical marijuana passage. Those
ordinances need to be updated for compliance purposes.
Mr. Forrest announced that the 2018 session was fast approaching.
Commissioner McCray said he wanted to personally thank Mr. Forrest for all he has
done.
D. Erica Whitfield, PBC School Board Member District 4 to address the City
Commission.
Ms. Erica Whitfield, Palm Beach County School Board Member, introduced Dr. Glenda
Sheffield, Secondary Instructional Superintendent and, Maria Bishop, Elementary
instructional Superintendent. They were present to answer any questions.
Ms. Whitfield explained that there have been many changes within the Palm Beach
County School system. Ms. Whitfield stated one of the biggest changes was with the
metrics and data. She gave the vision the School District of Palm Beach County. The
School District of Palm Beach County envisions a dynamic, collaborative multi -cultural
community where education and life-long learning are valued and supported and all
learners reach their highest potential to succeed in the global economy. The School
District of Palm Beach County was committed to providing a world-class education with

with the most effective staff to foster the knowledge, skills, and ethics required for
responsible citizenship and productive careers.
She stated the long term outcome in the school districts was for high school readiness;
increase the high school graduation rates. The District wants to make sure that the
students are prepared for colleges.
Ms. Whitfield indicated that there were several schools in Boynton Beach. The scores in
Boynton Beach are based on a metric. The math scores increase 1 % for white students,
but went down for black and Hispanic students.
Attendance was a major issue for the school system. There was a direct collation
between absences and graduation rates. She said the question for the schools, what
was being done to address attendance. She said staff will contact the parents and or
the guardians and provide steps for success for students and parents. Teachers must
understand success looks different for every family. Inform parents how absenteeism
was related to student future success.
Ms. Whitfield said that if students do not pass the SAT they are able to take the ACT
test. The state was looking at increasing the passing score. This was a very big deal.
Commissioner McCray worried about transportation of the children to and from school.
He said there should be centralized locations for school stops.
Ms. Whitfield asked If there was a tie up in traffic, please let her know and she can
address the area. The schools try to have stops as close to the students homes as
possible.
Commissioner McCray pointed out there are several areas of concern. One in particular
was near the Hester Center.
Ms. Whitfield stated that people can view Edline to receive information about their
student's grades and homework assignments.
Mayor Grant said that the Broward school district has a representative on the MPO; he
asked if Palm Beach County was on the Board.
Mayor Grant open the issue for public comment
Jerry Taylor, 1086 SW 26 Avenue, said that the school district's goal to graduate 90%
concerned him. The goal should be 100%.
Ms. Whitfield said that she agreed with him.

Ms. Whitfield said if citizens were interested in the actual letter grade that was
associated with each school, that grade should come out in mid-July.

indicated that the City needs more jobs and office space. The City of Boynton Beach
does not need senior assisted living; the city does not need more apartment or condos.
There was a new building on 500 Ocean Avenue. When you think of the ocean, most
people think blue and green. She was wandering why the building was allowed to be

painted terra cotta. Ms. Oyer said that Vice Mayor Katz spoke about an architectural
review board. What needs to be done to get lights on at the pavilion at Betty Thomas
Park? Ms. Oyer said she was at the Park about 10 pm and there was all type of drug
deals going on because there are no light at the, pavilion. Having lights would a
deterrent.
Commissioner Romelus asked what could be done.
Wally Mayor, Parks and Recreation Director, said first he would need to get with the
Public Works Department to determine if electric was available in the pavilion. He would
need to get some feedback from the neighbors. The Recreation and Parks Advisory
Board could discuss and bring back a recommendation.
Commissioner McCray recalled years ago it was mandatory to have to Commission
input on colors for various projects. He stated that color swatches would be sent for
selection. Maybe this process fell through the cracks.

the tenants/owners are parking on the street. There are multiple cars parking on the
street. Commissioner McCray said this needs to go to Community Standards. Ms. Oyer

Local Planning Agency and City Commission.
A. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 17-014 - FIRST READING - PUBLIC
HEARING - Approve amendments to the CODE OF ORDINANCES,
Chapter 13. Licensing, and the LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS,
Chapter 1. Article II. Definitions, Chapter 3. Article IV. Use Regulations,
and Chapter 4. Article V. Minimum Off -Street Parking Requirements that
provide necessary updates and new standards and justifications for the
accommodation and regulation of group homes, and parking requirements
for single- and two- family dwelling units.
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 17-014, by title only on first reading.
Commissioner McCray asked if this ordinance would affect the house that Ms. Oyer
commented on earlier in the meeting.
Mayor Grant affirmed that it may.
Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, would discuss and explain a very complex
and a very important topic. There are some very popular buzz words in the media such
as sober homes. The City has a problem with criminal activity, drug overdoses, health
issues, complaints, neighborhood impacts, corruption and over concentration. A
moratorium was in affect as of January 17, 2017 until June 4, 2017. Staff conducted a
study to evaluate the sober homes. Mr. Rumpf said that the records do not identify
what type of group homes or who their clients are.
Mr. Rumpf explained the objectives, challenges of the proposed ordinance. The
objective was to evaluate existing regulation processes, being aware of federal and
social responsibility to preserve a neighborhood's character. Staff presented what was
important in terms of regulations and benefits for all concerned. He reviewed the
dynamics of the traditional families as well as the group home clients and residents. A
2015 AP (Associated Press) study presented facts about the aging population. The
study addressed those homes accommodating those in sobriety programs as well as
the elderly. He said the City does accommodate traditional nursing homes, but fewer
each year. It means more will be seeking group homes. The standards must be neutral.
Mr. Rumpf emphasized the City needs to base information on factual evidence. The
Courts are sensitive to fears and prejudices. The City needs to provide reasonable
accommodation.

Mr Rumpf explained that Delray Beach hired an expert to have a study done.
Commissioner McCray asked if Mr. Rumpf had seen the report that was done for the
City of Delray Beach.
Mr. Rumpf had seen the study and he explained that the City needed to eliminate
potential discrimination, for consistency with other related use categories, to accurately
describe the types or range of uses to be accommodated, as well as to promote the
concept of continuum of care. The City will require all group homes to be certified. The
State of Florida began using FARR (Florida Association of Recovery Residences) as a
reviewing entity in their voluntary system for group homes. Teaming up with FARR the
group home would need to deal with the State conditions if they want referrals from
State entities. It must be a certified group home by FARR. Doing this will relieve the
burden from the City staff.
FARR has a maximum of 2 person /bedroom up to 10. These homes are overseen,
certified and operated according to quality standards. This also standardizes the City
regulations. Type 2 group homes are limited to 15 in R-2, they must be on higher
classification roadway. Type 3 will be allowed in the R-3; conditional use would be
required; and on higher intensity a higher classification of roadway. Type 3 homes in
MU1, 2 & 3. MU2 & 3 requires minimum 60% conventional units.
Mr. Rumpf gave a summary of proposed amendments. He said to enforce reasonable
separation standards, 300 feet vs 1,000 feet increases parking requirement for all
square feet and duplex. The new regulations limiting impervious surface in front yards,
and provide parking standards. Mr. Rumpf said the regulations address a property
appearance issue involving vehicle parking and property condition, to provide a
standard applicable to home size, and to provide the appropriate tools to regulate all
properties including those owned, rented and occupied by group homes.
Using FARR certified requirements to review group homes would be a recognized and
reputable oversight. Certification requirement are neutral and more standardize. These
are new regulations, these are unchartered. Mr. Rumpf said that certification was the
foundation.
Mr. Rumpf farther explained that what was reasonable was not always easy to define.
Sober homes have a right to come to the City as long as they are in compliance.
Commissioner Romelus had a few questions. She said she understands that 1000 feet
was not defensible, but asked if there was a sweet spot in the middle. Mr. Rumpf
indicated that if the City takes 300 feet that was the approximate distance. This would
be about 4 houses of separation.

Mayor Grant asked if it was defensible to have one group home per block, some of the
blocks are more than 500 feet. Mr. Rumpf agreed the blocks are not all the same and
why the City was doing 300 feet.
Commissioner Romelus asked if the Commission needed to have a vote or a
consensus of the board. Attorney Cherof, explained this was the first reading; the
Commission does not need to do that at this particular time. The Commission can
express points of view, but not take a vote.
Mayor Grant asked what was being done now if homes were closer than 300 feet.
Mr. Rumpf said that homes would be grandfathered in, but would be required to obtain
FARR certified. The home would be able to continue operation.
Commissioner McCray asked what about the group home or residences that are in
operation now? What happens to the existing group homes? Mr. Rumpf advised the
existing homes would be grandfathered. A certification process would be required for
the older group homes. The older group homes will be given a year to comply.
Vice Mayor Katz wanted to applaud staff. It was important to note that the potential for
abuse, purely for the purpose of profit, was great.
Mayor Grant opened to public comment.
Sister Loraine Ryan, 912 SE 1 Street, related the distance is very close to each other.
This home has been there for over a year. On the other side of the street there was
another one. She asked if the owners of the property across the street purchased the
duplex, could the home now become another Sober Home. She asked how the Police
Department is using some type of surveillance. She said she observed one time, a man
standing in the median and receiving a bag from a car. She wanted to know the
element of surveillance?
Mayor Grant asked about other types of certifications and inspection of the homes.
Mr. Rumpf said that he was not the expert, but if the City wanted to inspect the home
the occupants would need to leave.

B. Approve Conditional Use request for the stockpiling of landscape debris
for recycling purpose, on the vacant parcel north of 301 SE 10th Avenue
in the M-1 (Industrial) zoning district. Applicant: Joe Mignano, Mignano
Tree Care.
Attorney Cherof administered an oath to all those intending to testify.
Christian Mignano, from Mignano Tree Care, indicated the business has been in
Boynton Beach since 1976. He said that they have two locations in Boynton Beach and
employ approximately 90 employees. At the end of day the lawn debris is bought back
and dumped at the site. The pile was centralized on the property. Around the property
there are areca palms to create a buffer and act as a- noise barrier as well. They also
have a gate; the workers come inside to dump their load. The pile is turned daily. On the
top of the pile is an irrigation hose to keep everything cool.
Mayor Grant asked about the. current height limits.
Mr. Mignano replied that they keep the piles less than 10 feet. The PVC shown in the
picture was 10 feet and they keep the piles under the PVC marker.
Vice Mayor Katz, went to the site and was given a tour. There was a complaint. He was
very supportive of this area. This was a very good use of land which would not be used
otherwise.
Mayor Grant said that this was a green economy company.

master planned development, located on a 10.246 -acre vacant tract on
the west side of Renaissance Commons Boulevard, immediately south of
the Boynton (C-16) Canal, in the SMU (Suburban Mixed Use) zoning
district. Applicant: Jeffrey Bartel, Berger Singerman LLP. (This request
was withdrawn by the applicant to submit a new application.)
E. Approve request for Master Site Plan Modification for Retail Building 1 of
the Quantum Park and Village South Mixed Use Pod, including request for
PID (Planned Industrial Development) district waiver to reduce the side
setback along the west side of Retail Building 1 from 15 feet to 5 feet, on
14.27 acres located at 1080 Gateway Boulevard, in the PID (Planned
Industrial Development) zoning district. Applicant: Dale Lyon, Olen
Development Corp.
Attorney Cherof administered an oath to all those intending to testify.
John Lyon, representing Olen Properties and Olen Development Corporation, Director
of Construction and Development for Florida, asked for a waiver to reduce the side
setback from 15 feet to 5 feet, to increase the building footprint from 4000 to 4025
square feet. Mr. Lyon said that this was the last remaining property within this complex.
This property can now be developed with confidence. Mr. Lyon said this space can be
leased out to an upscale tenant. The pad was already in place, it was a super pad. This
will be upscale dinning; a good portion of the restaurant will have outside dinning, with a
covered patio. There are no tenants at the moment; they cannot begin negotiation until
the variance is approved.
Commissioner McCray inquired about the purpose of requesting a set back from 15 feet
to 5 Feet. Mr. Lyon responded it was to increase the outside seating area. There was a
portion of the patio and roof that would have been encroaching onto an existing
easement.
Commissioner McCray needed staff to ensure that there are no easement issues.
Mr. Lyon said that initially there were two easements. They were negotiated about four
years ago. The easements have been vacated and recorded. There are two new
easements in place. He stated that there was nothing encroaching. Even the drainage
does not drain into the lake to keep away from erosion.
Ed Breese, Principal Planner, stated staff recommended approval. The PID (Planned
Industrial Development) waiver that was requested does not have any impact.
Mayor Grant was concerned that the property was adjacent to a body of water. Mr. Lyon
indicated that the company sprays for mosquitoes. If there was anything else, that
would be handled by the tenant.

Commissioner Romelus asked if there were any safety barriers put in place. Mr. Lyon
stated that currently there was a retaining wall; this property has been in place for a
number of years. If there was a need for another barrier it can be addressed with the
tenant.
Mr. Breese asserted the applicant has agreed to the seven (7) conditions of approval.
The Planning and Development Board recommends approval of the request.
Mayor Grant opened to public comment.
Susan Oyer, 140 SW 27th Way, thought this was a great idea.

F. PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 17-015 - FIRST READING - PUBLIC
HEARING — Approve amendments to the LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS, Chapters 2, 3 and 4 to continue the implementation of
the Community Redevelopment Plan with the establishment of the new
Cultural District Overlay Zone regulating site development, uses, and
urban design.
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 17-015, by title only on first reading.
Amanda Bassiely, Senior Planner -Urban Designer, gave an overview on the New
Cultural District Overlay zone. There are nine steps. Ms. Bassiely explained that the
overlay sits over the zoning district.
The City adopted the Boynton Beach Redevelopment District. The P-4 was the Priority
Land Development Regulation Amendments. The project was along Ocean Avenue,
runs along Seacrest to the FCC NE 1St street to South to SE 2 Avenue. The regulations
are comprised of nine different sets.
Ms. Bassiely explained one of the main difference between a zoning district and an
overlay was that the zoning district can be used anywhere in the City. An overlay was
tied to a specific location. She stated that this area will provide a mix of selected uses
and activities to encourage the location of specialty retail, artist related uses and
entertainment. This will also initiate implementation of CRA plan to ensure that
redevelopment within this area, regardless of underlying zoning districts; will maintain

an appropriate development scale, improve overall livability. Ms. Bassiely noted that
there are some prohibitive uses, such as car lots or big box stores.
Mayor Grant noted the prohibited uses included colleges, seminary and University. He
asked if the University of Boynton will not be in the Cultural zone. Ms. Bassiely indicated
that was correct. There are a couple of education uses that are still available. She
continued, the modified building standard houses most of the development regulations,
such as, lot area, lot frontage, pedestrian zone, builds to lines, building frontage, scale/
heights, setbacks and public space. Ms. Bassiely highlighted two areas, which are the
pedestrian zone and the scale and height.
The pedestrian zone was comprised of three parts. The first being the street tree area,
adjacent to a sidewalk which was adjacent to an active area. Not all three portions are
required on all roads. Ms. Bassiely said the reason why this was implemented was
because it promotes dining, outdoor merchandise. She said the second would be scale
and height. The overlay does not dictate over all height requirements. This was still
housed in the zoning district. What this does was to create a cap on street level on
certain roads, fence regulations that would promote activity, and added some
pedestrian signage. Ms. Bassiely advised they are proposing the coastal village
architectural design.
Vice Mayor Katz asked about the initial setbacks, does that allow for usable space on
top, say if someone wanted to create outdoor dining. Ms. Bassiely replied that it does.
Commissioner Romelus inquired if the City implemented anything regarding living walls
within the structures. Ms. Bassiely responded not within the overlay. She said that
discussion comes up many times when the art theme comes up. One of the other items
that were in the implementation was to review the sustainable guidelines.
Commissioner McCray asked about the architectural committee; what would be the
function of the committee. Ms. Bassiely pointed out there was no other committee being
created.
Vice Mayor Katz commented that his intent with all the development downtown, there
are objections from many residents; not only in height and density, as well as
appearance. In lieu of what Commissioner McCray stated that in past years the
Commission was given the opportunity to review color swatches to weigh in, that has
fallen by the wayside. The committee will have citizen input.
Mayor Grant asked regarding the color scheme, does the City have all the colors
available that the City would approve. Ms. Bassiely replied the City does not have a
color palette per se. When the applicant comes in through site plan approval, they are
required to have color swatches and material boards. There are no actual set
guidelines.

Mr. Rumpf stated that the City architectural color standards in the City LDR are more of
compatibility standards. The City does not have a mandated palette.
Mayor Grant asked if the Commission could have the final color come through the
board. Mr. Rumpf replied that was a requirement of the site plan review. The City
requires a color sample. If applicant comes into office to change the color, this would
be based on the major or minor changes.
Mayor Grant said that with One Boynton this must have been a minor change.
Mayor Grant asked if any new development in the cultural overlays or Boynton Beach
come to the board. He asked if the issue with the color change considered major or
minor. Mr.. Rumpf stated that this would be considered minor. Mayor Grant inquired if
this was okay with the board. It would only concern the overlay district. Mayor Grant
said that any new changes to the overlay would be brought to the board, not just a
review by staff.
Vice Mayor Katz said that it has become pretty clear that some of the colors are defiant
for the district and the area.
Ms. Bassiely said there was a theme. The City was not over regulating. Staff can review
with more teeth.
Commissioner Romelus understood there was nothing on the books regarding color
review.
Ms.Bassiely stated that there are two conversations; one was overall, the process.
There has always been a color swatch and a material board for the site plan review.
Second, there was a compatibility check for the overall area. The Cultural overlay would
require a color scheme based on the theme
Commissioner McCray remembered in the past the Commission was presented
drawings of the building and the color. Then, the Commission voted on the color. Mayor
Grant stated that the Commission requested that this should be continued. Ms. Bassiely
reiterated that was a requirement and she would make sure those boards make it over
to the Commission.
Ms. Bassiely explained that the modified building site regulation covers the bulk of the
regulations. The regulation has a height and scale regulation which was similar to
maximum height was a factor of zoning districts. Overlay adds a cap of 45 feet on
Boynton Beach Boulevard frontages. Additional height must be stepped back a
minimum of 10 feet. She explained that there was not a set scheme for the building
design. On the parking, screen off-street parking areas from abutting rights-of-way and
locate buildings along front and side corner property lines. Adapted sign regulations limit
placement and size of monuments.

Mayor Grant asked for public comment.
Cindy, De Falco, 316 NW 1 Ave, stated she lives in the Cultural district area presented.
She understands that the City possibly considering taking down some of the house. The
houses are adjacent to Boynton Beach Boulevard. She wanted to know what the plans
for the area are. She said that it would be nice to keeping with the old world. Ms. De
Falco said that this was an area that has a lot of historical homes.
Ms. Bassiely said that this was an historical area. This area was highlighted as a
potential historic district. This was for redevelopment purposes. No one would be kicked
out of their homes.
Susan Oyer, 140 SW 27 Way, realized the coastal village theme came up once about a
year ago; she does not believe that. was what the residents wanted. The City of Boynton
Beach has traditionally been a coastal town. She said she believes that it was
appropriate near the marina, but not inland. It would not look in place at the children
museum. Also, Ms. Oyer. wanted additional information about the Pedestrian. signs.
Would the signs have a specific height limitation, something cute and quaint that gives
the shops a nice atmosphere. Ms. Bassiely, remarked primarily Code only allows for
the understory signs that hangs underneath the canopy. She said there are size
requirement. Ms. Oyer said if this was going to be consistent throughout the City. Would
individual signs by accepted. Ms. Bassiely clarified this was only for the overlay.
Bonnie Miskel, on behalf of client land owners, advised she represented private
developers as well as governmental agencies. She commended staff did a very good
job. If the Commission would look at the map, very little conforms to the overlay. Her
clients are trying to redevelop some parcels. More restrictions do not encourage more
development. She said the 150 feet corridor was not flexible.
Commissioner McCray asked in regards to NW 4th street, where the Dunkin Donut
would be located. Ms. Miskel replied, if the client would move forward they would need
to request a waiver.
Commissioner McCray remarked the area looks terrible. He was in favor of something
coming in to enhance the area. Ms. Miskel said they will become a non -conforming
parcel. If there was a fire or storm, they would need to redevelop in accordance with the
Code. Again, everything that was not in green, unless they combine parcels, will make it
harder to develop.
Vice Mayor Katz asked what the frontage Ms. Miskel was looking to accomplish. The
walkability was being focused on. What would be a reasonable number? Ms. Miskel
said there are many categories that are 50 feet. The other thing that was included was
percentages; the City would require 75% for the building. It promotes a larger use. This
would not promote the mom and pops shops. She advised the maximum was 100 feet.

Ms. Bassiely pointed out in the plan the recommendations were mix use low to mix use
high. The mix use districts range from 100 feet to 200 feet. the recommendation was
mix use low.
Mayor Grant asked if this range from the low to the high ends mix use zoning.
Ms. Bassiely clarified it was100 feet to 200 feet. frontage.
Ms. Miskel contended in the urban core; this was extending from the tracks west to 1 -95
to the lower intensity, it was not the urban core lot size in a more suburban town. This
was not necessarily the best approach.
Commissioner McCray questioned if this would -have any bearing on east Boynton
Beach Boulevard. Ms. Miskel said nothing was going to be non -conforming. Ms.
Bassiely said that if there was a disaster, the owner would be able to rebuild. It would
not have any effect on what was on the ground at this time.
Commissioner McCray reiterated that in regards the Dunkin Donuts, they would need to
get a waiver. Ms. Bassiely stated they are already within the system. She said that
anything the Commission feels would not detrimentally affect the intent of the overlay, a
waiver can be requested.
Mayor Grant stated that 150 feet was significant. What the City was trying to do was to
create the corridor for mix use. He asked if the coastal village was a defined theme,
would that include Mediterranean. Ms. Bassiely replied that coastal village theme was
for the cultural district. It was only for the six blocks. Mayor Grant asked if the Coastal
Village include Mediterranean. Ms. Bassiely said that the Coastal Village was a defined
theme in the overlay district.
Mayor Grant wanted to know if the engineering plans that were done by Kimley-Horn
were in compliance with the new regulations. Ms. Bassiely stated the plan was from
Seacrest east to Federal highway. A new plan was being redone.
Commissioner McCray requested staff get with Ms. Miskel and work with her regarding
NE 4th. He said that that corner looks terrible. He emphasized that corner looks terrible.
He wanted to see something on the lot.
Vice Mayor Katz asked if there has been any thought in scaling down those
requirements as the mix use intensity lessens towards 1-95. This potentially might seem
like a compromise where the farther you get away from the mix use high and the
downtown transit area, it becomes more residential.
Ms. Bassiely explained the plan recommends three different land uses. Staff can try
and come with a scheme that relates to land uses. She said that this was done
previously with some of the parking standards.

Commissioner Romelus asked about Ocean Avenue and the lot frontages in the cultural
overlay. Ms. Bassiely indicated that the frontage in the cultural district was 100 feet. The
lot frontage and lot area has something to do with the lot footage and lot area has some
correlation to do with parking. The City does have parking reduction within the cultural
overlay district.
Commissioner Romelus said based on what Ms. Miskel was saying, if the City was
trying to encourage more of a coastal and little mom and pop shops on Ocean, this was
where I would expect to see smaller lot frontage. From what she understands the City
was trying to emulate more along the lines of Gateway Boulevard, PGA Boulevard and
those types of corridors.. Ms. Bassiely noted when looking at Gateway the lots frontage
was- really wide. Commissioner Romelus asked if Ms. Bassiely had the numbers. Ms.
Bassiely replied the frontage was at least 200 feet. The designs make it appear smaller.
Commissioner McCray asked about mixed use on Boynton Beach Boulevard, would the
City need to purchase land in order to complete the project.
Mayor Grant stated seeing on one else coming forward, public comment was closed.

A. The Town of Hypoluxo Council approved a potential expansion of the
current interlocal agreement between the Town and the City to provide
water service to approximately 500 customers currently receiving water
from the Town of Manalapan. As an update to the City Commission, staff
will work with the Town to develop the revised language for review and
consideration by the City Commission.
Mr. Colin Groff, Assistant City Manager, said he wanted to bring the Commission up to
date on the negotiation with the town of Manalapan and the Town of Hypoluxo about
their water and sewer services. The Town of Manalapan was given a proposal; the
Town of Manalapan decided to go on their own. The Town of Hypoluxo was in our
service area, with an exception of about 500 customers that they receive water from
Manalapan. The City will be negotiating a revision to the interlocal agreement.
Commissioner McCray mentioned the agreement would expire in 2020. Mr. Groff said
they have a two year period in which they must begin the negotiations. Commissioner
McCray asked for the monetary guesstimate. Mr. Groff stressed that whenever there
are acquisitions the present customers will not see an increase in their rates. Those
numbers are not available at this time. The City will acquire only 500 additional
customers.

Commissioner McCray said this was something that was already in place. If a member
missed a certain amount of meetings the person was taking off of the board. Then the
member position was replaced.
Ms. Pyle said that that was the attendance policy. However the resolution that was
attached to the agenda states that when the CRAAB (Community Redevelopment
28
Meeting Minutes
City Commission
Boynton Beach, FI

Agency Advisory Board) was created, the only way a member could be removed would
be by vote of the Commission.
Commissioner McCray stated that the Commission needs to establish a policy that if a
member misses 3 meetings the Commission can vote them off of the board.
Mayor Grant said that he was reading the County resolution; it said if they miss 3
consecutive meeting or more than 50% of yearly meetings. He asked if that was okay
with the board. He explained that the member would be automatically taken off of the
board.
Mayor Grant asked if it could be done universally for all boards.
Attorney Cherof, said yes, there would be one rule for all.
Vice Mayor Katz noted that the Commission was reducing all other boards from 4 to 3
absences.
Mayor Grant suggested consecutive absences or more than 50% of yearly meetings.
He would suggest that this would be done in a calendar year beginning in January.
Commissioner McCray said that there was already a policy in place. Requested that
Ms. Pyle provide an update to the Commission.
Ms. Pyle said that the policy does not indicate 3 consecutive days missed. The policy
states 3 meeting that are missed, and then the 4th meeting they are taken off the board.
Mayor Grant said the 4th meeting they are removed.
Commissioner Romelus pointed out the members are to be removed by the
Commissions discretion. This was why this was before the Commission.
Ms. Pyle reiterated this was coming before the Commission because this was different
from the other boards. The resolution for the CRAAB states that members can only be
removed by the Commission.
Vice Mayor Katz said he had no problem with modifying this policy.
Mayor Grant said that whatever the Commission votes on tonight, that was what the
new policy will be. Whether it was consecutive or the 50% that is fine. Then the City will
need a motion to remove Ms. Paula Meilley, from the CRAAB.
Vice Mayor Katz said that if we reduce it to 3, just to take note that the policy says 4
absences.

David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane, noticed that one applicant did not live in the City. He
spoke with the City Clerk, and she stated if an applicant has a business in the City, then
they are able to sit on a board. He did not feel the person should be on the quasi-judicial
board.
Commissioner Romelus said that this decision has nothing to do with the resident
comment. She said that here are rules and regulations that should be respected.
Mayor Grant said the Commission will continue the policy except that it will apply to all
board including the CRAAB. They will be sent a letter after the 3rd absence.
Ms. Pyle stated that she does try to make contact. If a member was removed from the
board, the member cannot serve on another board for 3 years.
Commissioner Romelus said that the language needed to be added to the CRAAB
resolution.

Mayor Grant requested a motion to terminate, to remove Ms. Paula Meilley,

PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject project were mailed a notice of this request
and its respective hearing dates. The applicant has certified that signage is posted and notices
mailed in accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007.
BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL
Mr. Joseph Mignano is seeking Conditional Use approval for the stockpiling of landscape debris.
The requested use consists primarily of stockpiling of landscape vegetation collected from
various job sites in a holding area. According to the applicant, the vegetation is removed
approximately every six (8) Weeks throb nh n roonerative with Biocarbon Technology; Inc. The
compost is then hauled to a facility in Martin County, where it is processed and screened. The
final compost product is then sold to citrus growers, farmers, landscape companies and Scotts,
who sells it as organic compost at Home Depot.
Mignano Tree Care has been located in the City since 2005, and began operations in 2014 at
1127 SE 2n� Street, one block away from the stockpiling site. Mr. Mignano has been operating
the debris stockpiling business at this location approximately since that time and has a Health
Department permit to operate. In 2015 the City Commission adopted an ordinance adding this
type of use to the Land Development Regulation's Use Matrix on a trial basis for 18 months.
The Development Director, Planning & Zoning Director, City Engineer, Fire personnel and Code
personnel have all conducted site inspections to determine compliance with the regulations of
code. On February 21, 2017, the City Commission extended the trial period to August 22, 2018,
partly based upon the results of those inspections, and required the applicant receive
Conditional Use approval. Mr. Mignano applied on March 15th and provided extensive backup
documentation regarding his operations (Exhibit "D").
STANDARDS FOR EVALUATING CONDITIONAL USES AND ANALYSIS
Section 11.2.D of the Land Development Regulations contains the following standards to which
conditional uses are required to conform. Following each of these standards is the Planning
and Zoning Division's evaluation of the application as it pertains to each of the standards. In
addition, the applicant has submitted a separate detailed justification statement that addresses
each of these standards (see Exhibit "C" — Justification Statement).
The Planning & Development Board and City Commission shall consider only such conditional
uses as are authorized under the terms of these zoning regulations and, in connection
therewith, may grant conditional uses absolutely or conditioned upon adherence to conditions of
approval including, but not limited to, the dedication of property for streets, alleys, recreation
space and sidewalks, as shall be determined necessary for the protection of the surrounding
area and the citizens' general welfare, or deny conditional uses when not in harmony with the
Mignano Tree Care Staff Report
COUS 17-002
Page 3
intent and purpose of this section. In evaluating an application for conditional use approval, the
Board and Commission shall consider the effect of the proposed use on the general health,
safety and welfare of the community and make written findings certifying that satisfactory
provisions have been made concerning the following standards, where applicable:
1. ingress and egress to the subject property and proposed structures thereon, with particular
reference to automobile and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and
access in case of fire or catastrophe.
There are no proposed changes to the existing ingress and egress for the site, which
currently provides a single point of ingress/egress from SE 10th Avenue, through the 301 SE
10t� Avenue property, which is operated as a warehouse and also owned by the same
landlord, Bob Richardson.
2. Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with particular attention to the items in
standard #1 above, and the economic, glare, noise, and odor effects the conditional use will
have on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The business operates on a vacant, fenced, and unimproved site utilized for landscape
stockpiling /Exhi"i+ "B"` Twr%icu!INi there is one employee who turns the material
debris stockpiling i iy \' /• Y N Y
stacked in a pile on a daily basis. Therefore, the parking consists of the open field area for
the employee's vehicle, which is seldom parked there, as he typically parks at the main
office a block away, and the piece of equipment used to turn the pile. Consistent with the
applicable zoning regulations, there is a 30 foot gravel perimeter drive around the pile to
accommodate emergency vehicles and the loading and turning movements for the hauler on
the site, as well as to provide separation between the pile and abutting properties.
3. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the items in standards 1 and 2 above.
The applicant indicates that there is no waste generated from the site.
4. Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, and compatibility.
The City of Boynton Beach Utility Department currently serves water to the site, which the
applicant utilizes to keep the pile wetted down and mitigate any potential dust associated
with the operation. No additional impacts are anticipated with this application, as the
sprinklers are in place and operating, as are other hoses.
5. Screening, buffering and landscaping with reference to type, dimensions, and character.
The property is bordered on the north and east sides, abutting the residential uses, by a six
(6) foot tall wood fence, as well as a row of areca palms, which are a fast-growing, multi -
trunk plant, commonly used to create a visual barrier at a property edge. The south and
west sides, abutting the railroad and industrial property, has a six (6) foot tall chain link
fence with windscreen to screen the operation.
6. Signs, and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect,
and compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties.
The applicant indicates, as this is an undeveloped site, no lighting or signage is existing or
proposed (Exhibit "CIT
Mignano Tree Care Staff Report
COUS 17-002
Page 4
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
As previously noted, there are no buildings on the subject site. The pile itself is located
approximately 30 feet from the north and east property lines abutting the residential uses, in
compliance with the code requirements.
8. General compatibility with adjacent properties, and other property in the zoning district.
The use is generally compatible with other industrial uses, but has been listed as a
conditional use to help ensure case-by-case review for compatibility at a given site. As noted
previously, the site is bordered by warehouses on the south and the railroad on the west,
and where there are residential structures on the north and east, a (six) 6 foot tall wood
fence and row of areca palms provide a buffer, along with the required 30 foot separation
from the pile to the property line. Additionally, the code regulations limit the hours of
operation from 8:OOAM to 6:OOPM on weekdays and on Saturdays from 8:OOAM to 2:OOPM,
or as amended during the Conditional Use process. Also, no chipping of the material is
permitted on-site, in an effort to keep noise levels to a minimum.
9. Height of building and structures, with reference to compatibility and harmony with adjacent
and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
As there are no structures on-site, the only regulation is the limitation of the height of the
debris pile to 10 feet. The applicant has installed four (4) 4X4 wood posts at 10 feet in height
along the perimeter of the pile for reference points to ensure the pile does not exceed the
maximum allowed.
10. Economic effects on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
Staff and the City Commission carefully drafted regulations for this type of recycling
business in an effort to minimize any external impacts on surrounding properties, including
minimum lot size standards, separation from adjacent properties, minimum buffering
standards, and limited hours of operation. Relative to the effect on the City as a whole, this
type of business supports the City's Climate Action Plan and contributes to the reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions.
11. Conformance to the standards and requirements, which apply to site plans, as set forth in
Part lll, Chapter 4. Site Plan Review, of the City's Land Development Regulations.
Concurrency requirements are really not applicable to this type of use. However, the project
supports several concurreny, as well as the City's Climate Action Plan initiates. By recycling
the vegetative waste, the material is not being placed in the landfill, wasting valuable landfill
space. Additionally, the fact that material is being trucked to this central location and only
being removed every six (6) weeks, the amout of greehouse gas emissions from vehicle
miles travelled is being reduced. Lastly, 100% of the material is being recycled into useful
products, including compost for citrus growers, farmers, landscape companies and
homeowners.
12. Compliance with, and abatement of nuisances and hazards in accordance with, the
performance standards of Chapter 2, Section 4.N. of the City's Land Development
Regulations and conformance to the City of Boynton Beach Noise Control Ordinance.
Mignano Tree Care Staff Report
COUS 17-002
Page 5
This section of the regulations is intended to ensure land use compatibility through the
review of conditional uses for potential external impacts including noise; vibrations;
particulate matter; odor; toxic matter; fire and explosions; heat, humidity and glare; waste;
and electromagnetic interference. When the City Commission adopted the ordinance to
accommodate and regulate such uses, there were a number of safeguards placed within the
code to address the health, safety and welfare of the public. Some of those safeguards
include a minumum 0.5 -acre site standard, 30 -foot setback between the pile and residential
property line, adequate screening, hours of operation, dust control measures, and fire
protection monitoring, alerting and suppression. Additionally, the operator has contracted for
regular pest control services to address any vermin issues associated with the decaying
plant material.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the information contained herein, compliance with development regulations and

June 2017 — Monthly Update
Throughout this month, I had the privilege of delivering legislative updates, from COBWRA, to
the municipalities I represent, to the League of Women Voters, and more in between. It is
important that everyone is informed about legislative actions in Tallahassee as they affect our
lives. I would be happy to speak to your group to keep you advised. It is truly my honor to
represent and inform you of these matters.
Speaking at Brookdale North Assisted Living Facility was also a highlight as they dedicated the
"Veteran's Wall" to veterans serving in a multitude of wars and in various service capacities. It
was heartwarming to see the Greatest Generation be recognized for their contributions to our
freedom. It was also a privilege to attend the Memorial Day Ceremony at the Veteran's
Cemetery in Lake Worth.
