Ms. Bassiely stated there would be a driveway in-between the two buildings and the parking garage. Ms. Bassiely stated staff was recommending approval, however the residential wrap from this garage will be designed and approved within phase two of the master plan. If phase two is not constructed prior to the use of the garage, an interim design was required. An additional architectural treatment of all facades will be required to be in compliance with the LDR (Land Development Regulations), which may include, but is not limited to the green wall design, additional architectural design, use of textures and materials and public art. Mayor Grant asked if this would be required if they are built before phase two. Ms. Bassiely responded if it was built and used before phase II. Mayor Grant asked will those things be used after phase II was built. Ms. Bassiely responded it depends on the lag time; _ this was to protect the City from having a standalone parking garage with nothing around it. Mayor Grant asked the definition on what was a lag. Mr. Groff Colin representing the City of Boynton Beach, stated the Code requires a parking garage to have a wraparound with an architecture feature. If phase two was not built there was a condition stating the garage needed to be wrapped. The Code requires them to comment. Major Grant asked if this was for building permit issues or approved. Ms. Bassiely responded the site plans needed to be approved. Mr. Groff indicated the Commission will be seeing the site plans in 6 to 8 weeks. Ms. Bassiely indicated staff had three additional recommendations. Provide "two additional handicap parking spaces in the surface parking lot to the southwest of the proposed City hall/Library, provide sweet almond bushes in place of a portion of the fire bush plants, and provide passion flower vines and balloon vines on the proposed trellis along Seacrest." Ms. Bassiely indicated staff could provide some butterfly attracting plants. Commissioner Katz supported the staff recommendation to not make such ridged guidelines and be more accommodating. Commissioner Casello stated he has an issue with the trellis and vines. Trellis and vines are a maintenance nightmare. Commissioner Casello advised he was not sure if the City of Boynton Beach had the ability to take care of the proposed trellis. Mr. Groff responded there are many comments on the trellis. Staff was working on the design. They need to meet the regulatory requirement as well as meeting the desires of the owner. Mayor Grant inquired if there was currently a bus stop in this area. Mr. Groff responded there was a bus stop 200 feet north of the building. Major Grant stated the reason why it 15 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 20, 2018 _ was there was because it was the interchange of Boynton Beach Boulevard. Noted the residents must walk an additional 200 feet to the bus stop. Mr. Groff responded at this time the bus stop was in front of the Library. Mayor Grant asked about the bus stop across from the Post Office. Mr. Groff stated that was planned in phase III. Mayor Grant asked for clarification regarding the trellis and its location. Mr. Groff said it would be located at the City Hall building. Mayor Grant asked if the trellis would effect a driver's vision when trying to make a left. Ms. Bassiely responded they would not be allowed to make a left. Mayor Grant inquired if the trellis would be 25 feet from the corner. Asked if the parking lot would be exposed. Mr. Groff replied the trellis would shield the parking lot from Seacrest slightly. Mayor Grant said the Commission has no idea what the trellis was going to look like. Mr. Groff indicated staff will bring the trellis back to the Commission. Mr. Groff informed the Commission there are some building regulations regarding the building setback lines. The City wanted the parking lot placed in this area. The building sits back further than what was allowed by Code. The Code dictates the building needed to be closer to the road. The Code allows for design appeal. The recommendation was doing something along Seacrest which compliments the building as well as meet the requirement for the setback which the City of Boynton Beach was not meeting. Mr. Groff said staff would bring that additional information to the Commission. The trellis would need to meet the requirements of the Code and it needs to match and blend into the building. Mayor Grant asked can they make this subject to the trellis approval. Mr. Groff replied Ms. Bassiely mentioned the trellis, but the trellis was not in the recommendation. The recommendation was that something needed to be done along that wall. Mr. Groff mentioned that in Lake Worth there was a bus stop in front of City Hall that looks really nice. Ms. Bassiely advised the trellis was part of the conditions of approval, as well as the requirements from the Planning and Zoning Board to have vines along the trellis. She stated it does .not mean that it would be only a trellis. Said, there would be no knee walls, there are columns, and staff was waiting for final designs. If more details were needed the Commission can ask for an amendment to the condition of approval. Mayor Grant requested to amend the condition of approval so that the Commission have more knowledge of what was going to be on the wall before approval. Mr. Groff stated he was in agreement. Mayor Grant mentioned the different trees. Said there were 93 sable palms. He inquired if the City of Boynton Beach could have more variety and more shade trees. Mr. Groff 16 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 20, 2018 stated the architect looked everywhere where a shade tree could be placed. Indicated the City does not want to place a tree where there was not enough room. Mayor Gran asked if this includes the existing trees as well. Mr. Groff stated there are five trees required to be saved. The Banyans trees are being preserved as well as the Kapok trees. There are two trees on Ocean which could not be saved. Mayor Grant asked if the he Kapok tree on the NW corner of Ocean Avenue and 1 st could be moved. Mr. Groff responded the Kapok tree was in phase II. Mayor Grant asked was it possible to save the Kapok tree and place it in phase one. Mr. Groff responded staff are working with the private developer. The answer was we would like to if possible. Moving the tree was a big challenge and having the tree survive was another challenge. Commissioner Katz inquired what material would the trellis be built out of. Mr. Groff replied staff was not aware of the material at this time. Indicated the challenge was they were trying to meet the regulatory requirement and met the requirement as owners. Staff was waiting on the architect to bring the designs and some materials. Mr. Groff stated trellis mean different things to different people. He asked the Commission to let them show the Commission some designs. Mayor Grant asked if the Arts Commission could make recommendations since it was more of a design than anything else. He would like to see the Arts Commission make some recommendations. Mr. Groff responded it was the Commissions choice. He suggested having the Landscape Architect to come back to the Commission with some options. Guidance has been given to the architect. Mayor Grant noted many people drive by Seacrest. Ms. Bassiely said the actual condition of approval reads: "at time of permitting revise a proposed wall. At the present time there was knee wall with a decorative iron rod fence". The City need to revise the proposed wall to a trellis along the western boundary of Seacrest. What staff were trying to convey was that it was taller, and takes up more vision than a knee wall; that was the only condition. The design could be based on the approval of the Arts Commission, if that was what the Commission wishes. Mr. Groff recommended to bring it back to the different boards and bring it to the Commission for feedback. As long it meets the requirement of the Code and once staff receives feedback they can move forward. What they do not want was to come back through a formal hearing. Mr. Groff stated they really do not have time. Commissioner Katz said this was the direction he was going. There was a need for the additional setback to put the trellis. He does not want this to be a forced structure meant to obscure the line of sight. If it could be made into public art, it was not just a portion of a wall. It was meant to catch the eye; it was an opportunity to create a passive piece of public art. 17 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 20, 2018 Mayor Grant asked if the lamp posts had been chosen. Mr. Groff replied the lighting has been chosen. The City was using Florida Power and Light (FPL) lighting so FPL would own and maintain and the City would pay a monthly bill. Mr. Groff advised he would provide photos of the lamp posts in the next update. Mayor Grant asked if the Commission would be able to choose the lamp post. Mr. Groff stated the lamp post have already been chosen. Commissioner Casello asked if these lampposts match the one which the Commission voted on for Boynton Beach Boulevard. Mr. Groff stated they will match; they are working on all the architectural featured lighting. Commissioner Casello stated they voted on the lighting. Mr. Groff stated it was similar. Mayor Grant stated the one on Searcrest would be similar as well. Commissioner Casello asked why it was not available. Mr. Groff stated he does not know exactly which one was chosen. Commissioner Casello inquired about the lighting on Boynton Beach Boulevard, will the City own the lighting or will the FPL own this lighting. Mr. Groff said FPL would own the lampposts. Mayor Grant opened the item to public comment. Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern, said the trellis bothered him. He noted the Library was being squeezed out in size. He hates to see the Library get shortchanged in space. Asked if anything could be done to increase the space of the Library. Mayor Grant stated some of the benefits was the Library would be opened on Friday. They are planning to have a maker space. Staff was planning to use the reference library on the second floor, but will have programming into the 21St Century. Mr. Suss asked if the Commission could get the Arts Commission involved with the trellis as well as what will happen about the trellis during a storm. Commissioner Katz stated whatever is built would be built to Code and standards. Mayor Grant, seeing no one else coming forward closed public comment. Mayor Grant noted regarding the language.

Indicated she received some last minute emails regarding the proposed ordinance. Attorney Cherof explained those emails were related to the issues of the ability to lower the antennas for hurricanes. The comment that was made by someone from the industry stated that was not a reasonable regulation. The City interpretation was this was up to the City Commission to make that determination by adopting the Ordinance. It seems like a reasonable regulation from staff point of view. Antennas are now designed to accommodate the type of movement when storms approach.'Staff believes this was consistent with the broader language of the proposed regulations. Mayor Grant asked if the City requires a building permit for those towers. Attorney Cherof replied he believed they do. Commissioner Casello asked if the ones which are already be grandfathered in. Attorney Cherof confirmed they would. Mayor Grant stated this would be a requirement of the new towers. Attorney Cherof advised anything new installed must comply with this regulation.

Failure to comply could result in a citation. Mayor Grant asked if there was any type of enforcement and was it in the ordinance? Attorney Cherof replied there were enforcement provisions, whether it could be accomplished within the time period of an approaching storm was probably not possible to enforce it. It would probably be a fine. Mayor Grant asked how much was the fine. Attorney Cherof replied he did not recall he needed to check the ordinance. Mayor Grant stated $1000 per day was a maximum fine the City could assess. Asked if the City could charge the maximum fine. Attorney Cherof responded it depends on how the ordinance was drafted. Commissioner Casello inquired who would go and inspect these properties so that a fine could be levied. Attorney Cherof replied Code Enforcement. Commissioner McCray pointed out it was now Community Standards. Commissioner Casello asked if Community Standards would inspect antennas in the event of a hurricane. Attorney Cherof stated this was his understanding. Mayor Grant suggested the antennas should be taken down in the event of a hurricane. Mayor Grant noted the City has the tower owners permit information for each antenna. 22 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 20, 2018 The property owner was liable for the antenna. It was their responsibility if they wanted to keep it up during a hurricane. Attorney Cherof noted the language can say the owners of the antennas can keep the antennas up and accept the.suggestion which was made through the email exchange from the industry representative with the Commission. Vice Mayor Romelus indicated as long as they were liable for their own damage Vice Mayor Romelus asked if the antennas were in proximity to homes or businesses? Attorney Cherof responded the towers are everywhere. Vice Mayor Romelus inquired if they are responsible for damage on adjacent properties. Ms. LaVerriere indicated some of the concerns were if the antennas became detached they would become missiles. This was the reason for the requirement.
