Commission's job was not just to show up at events. The Commission should be there
for support to the City. She provided a quote from Thomas Paine.
Vice Mayor Katz pointed out the Commission does speaks with families of victims of gun
violence. These are extremely public issues. When Commissioners visit families, they do
not try to politicize the situation. The Commission does not use the death of an individual
in the community to make them the prominent face in that event. This Commission
reaches out to families and provides condolences during those sad times.

Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Matras indicated the proposed amendments would add thirteen new policies to the
Comprehensive Plan's Transportation Element, creating a framework for potential
implementation of a Mobility Fee. Doing this could generate revenue that could ultimately
allow the City to start funding the full range of needed multi -modal transportation
improvements in the, City. Florida Statutes encourage local governments to repeal
transportation concurrency and adopt an alternative mobility -based funding system that
allows developers to pay a fee as mitigation for their transportation impacts. The future
Mobility Fee could replace the Palm Beach County concurrency system, the County's
road impact fee and the proportionate share requirements. Ms. Matras stated there are
statutory requirements that state the mobility fee revenue expended to implement the
needs determined by the plan that serves as the basis for the imposition of the fee. In
order for the City to adopt this Ordinance, the level of service for roadways be maintained.
Ms. Matras pointed out the Mobility Fee has yet to be established. The City must develop
a complete streets mobility plan. This plan would determine the type, location and the
scope of the improvements. .
Mayor Grant commented he was excited about the mobility fee as it was something he
wanted to implement since his first term because of the amount of money the City has
paid into the County road impact fees. Along with the passing of the Mobility Fee, he
directed staff to provide how much money was paid into the road impact fees to the
County since 2003. Mayor Grant asked how much money the County spent in zone six
and within the City of Boynton Beach limits. Mayor Grant stated the information he
received in 2014 was over $20M was collected but only $5M spent in the City. Most of
the money was allocated to the western portion of Boynton Beach. Lake Worth and
unincorporated Palm Beach County. Mayor Grant said he wanted to request a motion to
approve this as it would help get funding for Complete Streets, trolley systems and future
services that would alleviate traffic in the City.

Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 19-014 and Proposed Ordinance No. 19-
015 by title only on first reading.
Attorney Cherof stated the first Ordinance was legislative in nature. The second
Ordinance was quasi-judicial. He assumed the applicant did not have any objection with
combining the two Ordinances. Mr. Miller had no objections.
Attorney Cherof administered an oath to all those intending to testify.
Bradley Miller, Miller Land Planning, indicated his presentation combined Ordinance
No. 19-014 and 19-015. The parcel was located on North Federal Highway and this
parcel has sat vacant for 15 years. The proposed development plan follows the
Community Redevelopment Plan (CRA) adopted in 2017. The subject parcel was 1.43 -
acres just north of Gateway Boulevard. Surrounding the lot to the south was Las Palma
Park, which is a single-family community, which also extends to the east. The Lakeside
Harbor Drive or Lakeside Harbor road extends through the middle of the property and
provides access to 10 single-family lots that are to the east of the property. The road was
a private road and it is the responsibility of the homeowners along that roadway, including
his client to maintain it. There is a utility easement, which benefits the City of Boynton
Beach.
Mr. Miller said his client was requesting a Land Use and Zoning change. In 2006, the
property changed from a commercial designation to a Special High -Density Residential
land use designation with an Infill Planned Unit Development (IPUD) zoning. That
designation allowed for up to 20 units per acre. The previous project approved 23 units.
Due to the recession, there were some plan extensions, but the site plan expired in 2008.
The zoning was still High Density Residential and IPUD. The request was to reclassify
the property to the Mixed Use Low (MXL) Future Land Use category.
Mr. Miller provided photos of the property looking down Lakeside Harbor. There was a
single-family home on the northern part of the property. At the property line boundary was
an existing gate, controlled by the 10 property owners. Part of the development would be
to reconstruct the portion of the road within the applicant's property and replace the gate.
The CRA Redevelopment Plan identified the property as Mixed Use Low (MXL), which
the applicant agreed with. While the proposed project could accommodate under the
(existing) Special High Density Future Land Use, the requested Mixed Use Low category
is consistent with the Plan's recommendation for the subject site. Both categories feature
the same density cap of 20 du/ac.
The site plan was superimposed onto a map, which showed 18 three-story townhome
units. On the north side, there are two buildings, which consists of four units each, and a
pool inside. The maximum allowed on the property was 28 units. The prior approval from
2006 was 23 units, and the proposed applicationwas for 18 units, which was 64% of the
maximum development allowed. The site plan showed eight units on the north side and
15
Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
10 units on the south side. Each of the units are three stories and three bedrooms, with
two -car garages. In addition to the two parking spaces per unit, there are 15 guest spaces.
The applicant provided a traffic study that showed the maximum amount of parking
required should be 43 spaces. The applicant has 51 spaces. He pointed out other
communities have 2.8 parking spaces per unit.
There will be a fence or a wall around the three sides of the property. Federal Highway
on the western side would not have a fence or a wall. A condition of approval required a
6 -foot wall/fence along the eastside of the property line. There will a retaining wall/ picket
fence that would run along the North and south property lines.
As stated before, the gate will remain where it is. The Community has a common pool.
There will be some improvement to the park area. There was a small cabana and
bathroom facility. The seven units along the east side have the option of having private
pools as those units set back from the property line by 25 feet.
Mr. Miller indicated south of Lakeside Harbor property was a vacant lot, which allowed for
a single-family home, and there was an existing single-family home on the applicant's
property. The unit to the peak was 38 feet high. The midpoint of the roofline measures
35 -feet. The maximum allowed was 45 feet, which was 10 feet below the maximum. There
was a small variation between the single-family home maximum height of 30 -feet and the
roofline of the townhome of 35 -feet.
At the Planning and Development Board meeting, the major concern was drainage, but
he indicated there are regulations, that control the drainage. There was an outfall location
confirmed with the Department of Transportation (DOT). In addition, there was a catch
basin and an exfiltration system that handled the drainage for the applicant's property.
Lakeside Harbor has no drainage system in the roadway and all the water flows towards
the Intracoastal. Mr. Miller said the applicant met with the neighbors and had a good
discussion. There was a railroad tie, which would stop the water, as part of the community
has offered to help participate in trying to improve the roadways. They offered to
participate in a drainage system as long as everyone was involved and it was a
coordinated effort.
The project was capable of handling 1.4 acre's worth of drainage with the
development's drainage system.
Mayor Grant asked how much water could be held on the property and how much water
can be held on the property during a 25 year, three-day event. Mr. Miller responded the
system would accommodate 12 inches of rainfall over a three-day period.
Mr. Miller provided storm criteria for a 25 -year three-day storm. There would be zero
outfall because of a storm.

Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Mayor Grant asked about the amount of rain for 100 -year storm event.
Neal Janov, Registered Engineer responded the development was designed for 25
year, three-day and 100 -year storm events. The 25 year, three-day event would generate
13 inches of rainfall, which would be contained on the site. There was a retaining wall on
three sides of the property and there was berm of the west side of the property. In addition,
the applicant would be altering the grades ,on the private roadway so that there will be a
berm on the roadway holding the water on the site.
Mayor Grant asked how much rain was in the 100 -year three-day storm event. Mr. Janov
responded that would be would be 15 inches of rainfall over a three-day period.
Mayor Grant further asked about post flowing offsite that would flow into the drain on
Federal Highway. Mr. Janov responded it would also go into the overflow on Federal
Highway onto the existing inlet, which was on the southwest corner of the property. In
addition, some of the water would also go over the retaining wall and continue to the east.
The difference was when the project was done would be .99 would be retained onsite or
would go to the DOT inlet.
Mayor Grant opened Public Comments.
Jonathan Reingold, 631 Lakeside Harbor, said this was a great project and he was not
opposed to development. He felt there would be flooding problems. The City granted a
permit to build the last three houses about six -seven feet above grade so the water cannot
get through. What has happen was bowl created at Lakeside Harbor.
Charts do not take into consideration when a storm sits over Boynton. Mr. Reingold
commented there are three gas pumps in Lakeside Harbor that have saved three homes.
He indicated he was a Florida State Certified General Contractor and he pointed out the
charts were wrong. The charts do not take into consideration what was going on in the
area. Mr. Reingold pointed out the City was asking for what the developer wanted and
not what the residents wanted or needed. Mr. Reingold asked if Harbor Cay and Lakeside
Harbor would combined to become Harbor Cay. If so, they would not have any access to
the private street or the dock. Mr. Reingold asked if the new Homeowner Association
(HOA) was going to be responsible for the maintenance of the roadway and the dock. Mr.
Reingold noted the developer did not speak about the dock.
Mr. Reingold stated the developer controls all the properties from Federal Highway to the
Intracoastal. He asserted the plan would not work and asked if there was funding to
compete this project. He reiterated no one asked what he or his neighbors wanted. He
had plans for his property and he was not sure if he would be able to follow through.
Commissioner Romelus asked Mr. Reingold how he was considering improving the
property. In addition, in regards to the road, her understanding was that Lakeside Harbor
Road was privately owned.

Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Mr. Reingold explained there was the community and then there are the homes. There
was the dock and how the street functions. They have the right to extend the dock if they
choose. He believes the developer was coming after the dock. The problem with
extending the dock was they would only get one or two more slips.
Commissioner Romelus asked about the flooding issues. She commented it mentioned
some of the residents have gasoline pumps to pump the water off their property. She
thought it seemed like a Band-Aid solution. She asked if Mr. Reingold or his neighbor
had any plans to manage the flooding. Mr. Reingold responded there was a swale on the
south side of the street that was filled in. The swale needed to be dug out, so the water
could flow. He explained the owner of the house located at 638 Lakeside Harbor owner
filled in the swale.
Mr. Reingold pointed out the setbacks the developer was proposing was 5 feet from
Lakeside Harbor. Everyone on the block has a 25 -foot minimum setback.
Commissioner Romelus suggested having a conversation with the developer regarding
the road and perhaps an agreement with the developer to help mitigate the flooding
situation. If the developer was going to repave the road, maybe they can help with the
flooding issue. Mr. Reingold responded to get to that conversation, there needs to be a
plan for the 18 homes in Harbor Cay.
Mayor Grant agreed this was a conversation the residents should have with the
developer.
Attorney Cherof expressed this was the first reading and there would be additional
opportunities to speak.
Rohan Anderson, 7617 Lakeside Harbor, stated he has seen lots of rain since he
moved to Lakeside Harbor. His concern was whether the developer would accomplish
everything they have placed on the table. He was in the construction business and based
on what was presented, the design would work. His home was the first house on the block
and the first to get flooded. Mr. Anderson spoke about the abandoned house, which
covered the swale. He suggested the City cite the homeowner and force them to restore
the swale. In addition, the tie from the railroad as well as the grass needed to be lowered,
and the flow need to go straight from the road to the Intracoastal. There was a meeting
to discuss the dock and there was a consensus the residents did not want to extend the
dock.
He was concerned with the new unit owners driving to the dock. There are going to be
18 units with four people for each unit. He thought that was too many people on the
dock and it was a safety concern, which needed to be addressed.
Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Mr. Anderson mentioned there was discussion regarding a temporary fence being
installed while the project was being constructed as well as security onsite. He suggested
the developer and the community meet regarding what was going to happen to the road.
In addition, the far end of the road needed to be shaved down so that the water can flow
into the Intracoastal. Mr. Anderson indicated there were many questions the developer
needed to explain and clarify to the homeowners.
Todd Bertossi, 626 Lakeside Harbor, indicated he was a 24 -year resident and said the
charts are not the reality of what happens when it rains. He pointed out it rains and the
property floods. He did not know how the developer planned to retain the water on the
property with having a French Drain and a catch basin. The entire area was in a flood
plain. He suggested connecting to the City water system. Because of the continued
development in the area, there would always be some flooding. He informed the
Commission new homes are permitted with six-foot elevations. He said water finds the
lowest spot. The Casa Del Mar project to the north was raised at least five -feet. All the
water flows to the next neighborhood. Mr. Bertossi pointed out everything was converging
on their area, because of the elevation of the surrounding projects.
Mark Mahar noted that finally a developer was willing to improve the large parcel to the
west. He believes this project would add value to his property and viewed it as a plus.
The drainage plan has been shared with the community and has considerable capacity.
Presently, the water runs off down the street into the shores of Lake Worth. This project
would contain water, which was running down the property. As the presenter shared, they
intend to pursue to tying in to the FDOT gutter system. They have received approval from
FDOT to have additional water. They are meeting and exceeding what was needed and
required. Everyone was concerned with the dock and the road, but nothing can happen
unless all the owners agree. It was time to join in with this project. The developer was
willing to participate with the drainage system. He does not have a house on his lot, but
he has been waiting to build on the lot. They all brought into the flood situation and they
need to own it. This project was not going to the make the situation worse. He has not
improved on his property, but when he does, it was a requirement to do the same thing.
Personally, he would like to see more with the entrance and lush landscaping.
Mayor Grant closed Public Audience.
Commissioner McCray appreciated the comments by the public and indicated the
Intracoastal has been having flooding issues constantly. The City has begun working with
the homeowners to alleviate the problem.
Colin Groff, Assistant City Manager, responded there are several projects on the public
streets to correct some of the flooding problems. Most of the flooding was caused by sea
level rise. The City has been working with seven other cities to develop codes and
19
Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
regulations to try to correct these issues. Concerning the private road, the City would not
be able to spend public money to correct their issue, but will work with homeowner groups.
Commissioner McCray inquired about the abandoned home that covered the swale and
hoped restoring the swale would alleviate some of the flooding.
Vice Mayor Katz thanked the speakers who provided their thoughts and concerns. They
are legitimate concerns that will be addressed. In regard to the projects, the potential of
connecting to FDOT or connecting with the City sewer, staff needed to advise the
Commission on whether this was an option.
Mr. Javon indicated he contacted FDOT and asked the drainage engineer if there were
any exemptions or relief for an overflow into their system. Mr. Neal stated the answer was
yes, but they would not accept any water prior to the water reaching the elevation of the
25 -year three-day storm event. He asked if they would be permitted to have an overflow
into the existing inlet, and the answer was yes. They are planning to have a design to
have an overflow into the inlet from the developer's property. If they get the 25 -year, three-
day storm event everything would be contained onsite, anything in excess of the 25 -year
three-day storm event would overflow into the FDOT right-of-way also and overflow into
the retaining wall.
Vice Mayor Katz appreciated the response because the primary concern was the
drainage and the potential damage to adjacent properties. The rules and regulations
should be followed. Vice Mayor Katz, indicated putting the tie in was necessary and
should be a condition of approval.
Colin .Groff, Assistant City Manager, responded the City Code requires if the project
does not have a connection to FDOT over the 25 -year, 3 -day storm event, they must hold
a 100 -year storm event on site. The City would require that connection and the
understanding of the FDOT rules was once you withhold the 25 -year storm event on the
site, the overflow could go to FDOT. It was already a condition of approval.
Vice Mayor Katz indicated one of the speakers stated any changes to the common areas
would require 100% of approval of all property owners on that street. Mr. Reingold
responded according to his closing documents, they are not allowed to touch Lakeside
Harbor without the consent of all owners.
Vice Mayor Katz wanted to receive clarification on the restrictions to the streets and the
dock, as well as clarification regarding decision-making being vetoed by any property
owner by the next reading. There was still a second vote pending the next Commission
meeting. The rules governing the street and the drainage on the street were a big concern.
All property owners must agree.
Mr. Miller stated there was a legal action regarding the street and he would provide the
interpretation at the next meeting. Mr. Miller stated from a practical standpoint, it was
20
Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
acknowledged at the meeting there was no homeowners association for the community.
There will be an association for Harbor Cay. The applicant would be a participant because
of the access to the road. He suggested the residents should create a homeowner
association. The developer would make improvements for the end of the road where the
railroad tie was located and the development would improve the drainage for the area.
Vice Mayor Katz, appreciated the willingness to agree to the conditions of approval. He
needed a legal interpretation of the rights of the existing property owners regarding the
road. If the legal interpretation does not appear to be what the existing homeowners
believe; he would urge the applicant to work with the property owners.
Mayor Grant noted as long as the applicant agrees to the condition of approval, it was
binding.
Commissioner Romelus asked if the applicant was willing to add, as a condition of
approval, security of the property.
Mr. Miller responded they have not spoken in any detail what that security would be, but
it would be standard construction security. After the construction, there has been
conversations regarding having security cameras and moving the gate. The FDOT
requires the gate to be 100 feet setback from the road.
Commissioner Romelus asked gate improvements. Mr. Miller replied the gate would be
better than it was at this time. At this time, there was the ability to drive around the gate.
With the development, there would be a wall on the property line on the east side along
the development. There will be a pedestrian gate to allow the residents of Harbor Cay to
walk through. The applicant has committed to putting into the documents, which residents
would not be allowed to drive down to the dock to park. There was discussion about
creating an entry feature at the gate. Mr. Miller stated the applicant would continue to
work with the residents and was willing to resurface the entire Lakeside Harbor road.
Commissioner Romelus inquired about beautifying the area and the entrance. Mr. Miller
responded there was a perimeter buffer around the property, which was a Code
requirement. The buildings on the west side have sidewalks. There would be landscaping
there. The applicant was providing about $35,000 for art. That strip of land would have
landscaping and art.
Mayor Grant inquired if the applicant wanted to have the art on their property. Mayor Grant
commented City staff requested art be part of the project. Mr. Miller explained the location
of the art would be between two trees and the applicant was willing to place the art on the
site. Mayor Grant stated the problem with the art being placed in the middle of the site
was it was great for the residents. He favored having an accent on the wall to make sure
everyone driving by could see it.

The motion unanimously passed
Hanna Matras, Senior Planner, stated this item pertained to proposed changes to the
Boynton Beach Mall, Future Land Use. The item been reviewed by the State of Florida
with no formal comments. Currently there are six owners. Washington Prime Group
(Boynton Beach Mall LLC) owns the four parcels that constitute the largest part of the
area. Other property owners include Macy's Florida Stores, Regional Enterprises,
Dillard's, Istar Florida 2015 Cinemas and Christ Fellowship Church.
Ms. Matras advised the Boynton Beach Mall has been declining for several years -The
proposed Mixed Use Low FLU reclassification would provide flexibility in both uses and
design to allow the Mall to "reinvent" itself. The variety of options MXL offers is crucial to
the successful redevelopment of the property and the continued success of the entire
Congress Avenue commercial hub.
City staff, in preparation for the site's future redevelopment, initiated the proposed Future
Land Use amendment. Staff recommended changing the Mall's Future Land Use -
classification from a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) to Mixed Use Low (MXL). Ms.
Matras noted the Pine Preserve was a part of the original DRI, and would retain its
Recreational classification. While the redevelopment would likely proceed in phases and
involve site planning for each, the rezoning would be processed concurrently with a
master plan for the entire site. There is at present, no master plan application.
Commissioner Romelus noted she recently attended Advanced Institute for Elected
Officials training hosted by the Florida League of Cities. She indicated one of the main
topics was what to do with locations such as these malls and big box stores. The
conversation always comes back to Boynton Beach because Boynton was ahead of those
other cities. Commissioner Romelus wanted to commend staff for taking the initiative and

capitalizing the taxes generated from the space that will benefit the residents of Boynton
Beach.
Mayor Grant requested clarification if the Mixed Use Low designation would allow for 45
feet height and 20 units per acre. Ms. Matras replied it would.
Mayor Grant stated the fact that it was part of the Palm Tran Mass Transit System allowed
the City to increase the density to Mixed Use Medium with the MU2 designation. Ms.
Matras replied staff has not considered this.
Amanda Bassiely, Principal Planner, indicated staff was approving the Land Use. Two
different zoning districts correspond with that land use. There was MU1, which was limited
to 45 feet. The other was the Suburban Mixed Use, which was similar to what was on
Congress. This would allow for more height and would allow for surface parking.
Mayor Grant asked if the City still had SMU on the books. Ms. Bassiely stated the zoning
Districts and the names have changed. He thought the City could change the zoning to
Mixed Use Medium; the City does not have the SMU designation or the MU3 or MU2. Ms.
Bassiely responded the SMU coordinates with Mixed Use Low and that was consistent
with some of the other redevelopment on Congress. Mayor Grant inquired when the SMU
was implemented. Ms. Bassiely responded it was at least five years ago.
Mayor Grant was concerned the item needed to be tabled so the Commission could get
it right the first time. As an example, the developer asks for MU2 in order to have 65 feet
height, which was on Renaissance Common Boulevard. Ms. Bassiely replied SMU was
a zoning district. This was the proper designation for that zoning district. They will get
that height, but there was a difference between height and density. Renaissance
Commons has 20 units per acre maximum and it height of 65 feet. Ms. Bassiely replied
the Mall owner has been coordinating with the other owners.
Ms. Matras stated they are in the middle of the update to the Code to be consistent with
the CRA plan.
Mayor Grant asked if the City was prohibited from have the zoning as Mixed Use Medium.
Mr. Groff replied the Commission has the authority to set it to Mixed Use Medium. The
recommendation was to have it as Mixed Use Low, because it was a large parcel with a
combined Master Plan, which was what the owners was proposing. The density of 20
units was going to be enough for what the owners wanted to accomplish. The height was
the second zoning district within that Land Use, but they will not address the zoning until
the Master Plan is addressed.
Mayor Grant asked if the City allowed Mixed Used Medium, and the developer only
needed 19 units per acre, if they would not be allowed to build. Ms. Bassiely replied the
Mixed Use Medium designation has both minimum and maximum requirements. It was
important to see the product and see the fabric of Congress. Ms. Bassiely indicated if the
24

Commission wanted to see more buildings like Renaissance Commons, this was the Land
Use designation to use. Ms. Bassiely explained some of the density in the City's
downtown has 50 units per acre.
Mayor Grant responded that was the downtown. He does not see it as only residential,
but as a commercial opportunity. Mayor Grant advised having the height and density was
needed. He explained that with the Mixed Use Medium there was the ability to go 65 feet
for commercial buildings. Ms. Bassiely replied commercial would be required on the other
side of the street.
Mayor Grant asked if the City was retaining the SMU in the Code for the future
development. Ms. Bassiely replied the City was.
Mayor Grant stated he has never seen the Mixed Use Medium in any of the plans the
Commission has reviewed. Ms. Bassiely responded the CRA does not allow it within the
CRA District. The SMU is only on Congress Avenue and outside, the CRA District.
Mayor Grant said the Planned Development Regulations for the CRA and the non -CRA
was part of the City. Ms. Bassiely responded there are different planning documents and
both are in the Land Development Regulations (LDRs).
Mayor Grant said he would rather try to incentivize development. He asked the
Commission for a motion to approve Mixed Use Medium. Commissioner Romelus noted
this would mean a higher density and a height increase would need to accompany a traffic
study. Ms. Matras replied if the Commission decided to change to the Mixed Use Medium,
the plans would need to go back to the State of Florida for review.
Mayor Grant withdrew his motion.
Commissioner McCray indicated he was in favor of the staff recommendation, which was
submitted and approved by the State of Florida.

Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Attorney Cherof administered an oath to all those intending to testify.
Bonnie Miskel, on behalf of JKM Developers, was presenting items related to the site
plan for Phase 2 and 3. Phase 2 would have a five -story building with an increase in the
proposed height of the building to the maximum height of 62 feet with 261 residential
dwelling units, including a leasing center and interior and private amenities. The new
development site plan for Phase 3 included two buildings and a parking garage. There
was the central building, which was a six -story, 60 feet maximum, age restricted building.
Phase Three, consists of a 210 unit apartment building, a 104 unit age restricted
apartment building, 8,512 square foot of restaurant space, 11,030 square foot retail
space, and an 878 parking space garage which includes 223 valet parking spaces.
Ms. Miskel indicated there were two corresponding applications associated with the site
plans. One request was for a height exception in order to allow the proposed architectural
elements to exceed the 75 -foot maximum permitted by the Code and allow a maximum
height of 87 feet and nine (9) inches for the Phase 3, north building. She noted the
additional square feet between the 75 -foot Code height maximum and the 87 feet and
nine inches was not occupied space. This would be for architectural embellishments,
towers and parapets. This was to have bearing evaluation to make the building look more
interesting.
The applicant has applied for the Community Design Plan Appeal, also within the Phase
three component. This was a request for relief from the requirements of Part 3, Chapter
4, Article III, and Section 6 of the City Code, which prohibits parking garages/structures
having frontages on collector or arterial roads. The Code requires the developers to wrap
the garage so it would not be visibly seen. This was a very small section of the parking
garage. The developer has embellished and expanded the elevation so the parking
garage was hidden.
Mayor Grant asked which garage. Ms. Miskel responded this was the garage located
between the north and central buildings.
Ms. Miskel provided a site plan for Phase 2. The parking garage would be constructed
prior to the commencement of Phase 2 and would serve both the City and the 261
residential units constructed within this phase. Phase 2 would have five stories and a 62
foot height maximum. It would include a pool and a park like area. There are also 32
parking spaces servicing the 261 residential units.
Mayor Grant asked if there was any type of bridge. Ms. Miskel replied she did not believe
there were any type of bridge connecting the structure in Phase 2. There would be direct
connections within the building.
Ms. Miskel showed elevations of the Town Square projects. Phase 3 was a seven -story,
87.9 foot maximum residential building. There are 210 dwelling units, with a leasing
center with exterior private amenity spaces. The total retail space would be 11,030 square

feet. Ms. Miskel stated that the additional 12.9 feet was for a parapet roof, tower elements
and architectural details. There was no habitable space above 75 feet. The applicant was
requesting relief from Chapter 4, "Article III, and Section 6, which prohibits parking
structures from fronting arterial or collector roadways. The Applicant proposed that the
east facade, 125 feet of the north garage from on NE 1 Street would have a living green
wall on the garage. The garage does not look like a garage. It has shutters and window
treatments, with texture walls.
Amanda Bassiely, Principle Planner, indicated there was an existing approved Master
Plan for this site, which encompassed the entire Town Square site. There were no
revisions of Phase I, which included seven City -owned parcels with 15.04 acres, the City
Hall Complex, the Old High School, The Schoolhouse Children, Amphitheatre, Art Center,
Civic Center, Kid's Kingdom Playground, Library and the Madsen Senior Center.
Ms. Bassiely stated there are changes to Phase II, 3 and a newly added Phase 4. This
is the private portion of the Master Plan. She provided an outline of the changes. There
were changes in density. The southern building previously approved with 225 units, was
revised to 210 units. The northern building previously approved at 280 units, was now
revised to 261 units. The hotel located in the corner was approved for 120 rooms, was
revised to 144 rooms. The central building was approved for 250 units, and was being
revised to 104 age restrictive units. The total changes from 705 units on the property,
had a density of 47 units per acre and the revised plan provided 575 units with a density
of 38.2 units per acre.
Ms. Bassiely continued to say the other changes was to the height requirement for the
Master Plan. Originally, the northern buildings were approved at 99 feet and 80 feet, but
both have been reduced to 75 feet based on the zoning district. The southern residential
building along Second Avenue was approved at 50 feet and requesting a change to 62
feet. As stated before, there were no changes to the City Hall or hotel building.
Most changes have to do with the phases. Ms. Bassiely said phase I and 2 have not
changed and phase 3 originally included the hotel, the two buildings shown and the
garage. They were adding the hotel to Phase 4 and including a shared parking study. The
site would now provide 1,787 parking spaces and a 10% buffer. The parking would be
shared between the two garages. Staff has reviewed the proposed requests and
determined that the developer complies with the existing Mixed Used Medium (MXM)
Future Land Use Classification and the existing zoning designation of MU -3.
Mr. Groff said the original master plan was based on conceptual plans by the private
developer as well as the City. The City moved forward with Phase I with individual site
plans. Mr. Groff indicated there.were some minor changes in the Master Plan. Mr. Groff
explained the Master Plan was required because the City was trying to tie all the
development together into one development. He provided a chronological breakdown of
the master plan's development. Mr. Groff responded to Commissioner McCray's question
if anything was missed. Nothing was missed from the original plan.
Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Commissioner McCray responded he did not feel good about this issue, but he had
studied the plans for the garage and it was fantastic.
Mayor Grant asked what drove the changes from the original Master Plan. Ms. Miskel
replied when the original master plan was submitted, they were working with an older
survey and had plans that were at 5% level to have finite decisions.
Mayor Grant interjected this was the first time the Commission was hearing about these
changes. Mayor Grant commented the City had multiple hearings to approve that Master
Plan. The City was losing nine units per acre. The Commission was not included in the
decision being made and it did not have a second hearing. Ms. Miskel replied the
revisions made, were market driven and were made in the spirit of staying on the four
corners of the page. The changes were not that significant. The only significant change
was for the age -restricted communities. There was a question of what this meant. She
explained it was not an assisted living facility or nursing home. Ms. Miskel responded the
Commission should have heard about the changes months ago. She indicated they were
not keeping the information from the Commission. Ms. Miskel said if there was something,
which was presented and there was the ability to come back with modifications to the
Master Plan.
Mayor Grant pointed out Boynton Beach does have age -restricted communities like
Leisureville, Sterling Village, Seagate and High Point. There was a reference point. The
Commission wanted this site to have workforce housing. He was not aware the developer
sought any government subsidy. The CRA and the County have different impact fees and
tax credits. Mayor Grant stated the CRA has the Tax Incremental Funding (TIF) available
so that the City receives the best product. It was interesting how much money the
developer needs to spend to make the parking garage not look like a parking garage. He
believed they are losing units or construction value, because the developers are working
on an aesthetics. Staff may have another view than the Commission: This was why he
did not want to meet prior to the meeting. The project had been reviewed and finalized
after it went to the Planning and Development Board. The Commission does not have the
ability to make any changes. There was no second reading of the site plan. Ms. Miskel
responded they have an opportunity to meet with Mike Simon, CRA Executive Director,
or any other agency to set aside some of those units as workforce housing. Ms. Miskel
pointed out this was not the design, but they have the ability to have some workforce
housing if there are ways to ascertain some of the subsidy. As far as making
modifications to the plan, this was a partnership and the client was motivated.
Mayor Grant stated there was a reduction in the density on the Master Plan. Ms. Miskel
explained it was a change in the total number. Mayor Grant said Cortina asked for a site
plan modification without changing the master plan to get the density afterwards. He
asked if the City was required to amend the Master Plan to get the new site plan.

Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Ms. Bassiely responded the reason the reduction was shown on the Master Plan was that
this Master Plan included the shared parking study with specific unit counts. In order to
leave the capacity or density on the Master Plan, it would need the same capacity in
parking. Ms. Bassiely responded the capacity and density must be tied together. They
cannot have more units without having availability of parking.
Mayor Grant said in order to change the site plan; the Master Plan must be redone for
increases in parking because the way the Code reads. Ms. Bassiely replied they could
allow additional density in the Master Plan if it met Code. Mayor Grant asked if there could
be additional parking on the site.
Ms. Miskel responded the current parking delineation would not allow the density. The
developer would need to add additional decks. Ms. Miskel stated the developer was at
their maximum height.
Mayor Grant asked about increasing the age restriction for one of the other buildings.
Ms. Miskel requested clarification if the Commission wanted to have a larger building to
have more age restrictive units. Mayor Grant stated they could have more density. Ms.
Miskel indicated this could be accomplished through a modification.
John -Markey, Private Developer, JKM, explained the developer provides a conceptual
design based on what was being requested. Since the inception of the project,
construction costs have increased 30%. The costs are for materials and labor. They have
lost 60,000 construction jobs. He was concerned about financing and there was a need
for balance.
Vice Mayor Katz was content with the explanation and was not in favor of age -restricted
housing. There was a glut of 55 and over communities. It was luxury unit owners with
disposable income. He was not opposed to any of the requests. He was not' in favor of
pumping the brakes to go back to the drawing board, but he did not want to see the
buildings go any higher. As stated before, he was not in support of age -restricted housing.
Vice Mayor Katz understood some of the units were workforce housing, but asked if they
met the definition of affordable housing. Mr. Markey replied they were. They originally
designed the other buildings that are not age restricted to be 20% and higher affordable
units without deed restrictions.
Vice Mayor Katz stated he was not in favor of mandated or incentivized workforce housing
within the units. They are creating a substantial quantity of workforce housing within
walking distance to the north. It was important the City have housing opportunities within
walking distance. There should be a balance that would feed the downtown area and the
City only has one shot at the project. He was comfortable with what was being presented.
There should not be any more dramatic changes. He stated he did not want to reinvent
this project.

Commissioner Romelus wanted to add, she believed some of these changes have been
taken into consideration and there has been a decrease in the density. The developer
was adding living walls and green space, which encouraged those of a different age to
move into the City downtown. There are many benefits to the changes, which the
developer has made. There was a lot of thought and planning in this project.

9. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Presentation by Dr. Joseph St. Germain, President of Downs and St. Germain
Research, Inc. on the Public Opinion Survey Results.
Lori LaVerriere, City Manager, indicated part of the Strategic Planning process last year
was to consider funding and moving forward with a public opinion survey. A contract was
initiated for a six-year study to survey the residents for one year. Next year there would
be a focus group. This would provide feedback and help the City move forward in the
Strategic Planning process.

Meeting Minutes
City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Eleanor Krusell, Public Communications, Marketing, and Director, introduced Dr.
Joseph St. Germaine, who was awarded the contract to provide and conduct the public
opinion surveys from residents and businesses to identify areas of strengths and
improvements.
Dr. Joseph St. Germain, President of Downs and St. Germain Research, explained
there was a resident survey as well as a business survey and he explained the
methodology of the survey. There were 559 completed surveys. There was a sampling
error of +/- 4.1 %. Dr. St. Germain provided a sampling of the surveys with the City of
Boynton Beach residents.
The Satisfaction with City Services showed the Fire Department had an 85% satisfaction
rating. Police satisfaction ranked at 66%. Dr. St. Germain provided Gap Analysis of City
services, which showed areas of satisfaction versus importance of City services of
residents of Boynton Beach.
Commissioner Romelus requested clarification of the chart presented. Dr. St. Germain
explained the chart was by department satisfaction, importance and the gap between the
two. Mayor Grant understood the reason for the methodology was the overview of the
City. Mayor Grant inquired if the survey was open to all.
Dr. St. Germain replied it could be done. At this time, it was only open to residents and
businesses of the Boynton Beach. This also avoids ballot stuffing
Commissioner McCray inquired about free WIFI within the City limits.
Commissioner Romelus noted even though the residents are saying they want notification
via email, the preferred local services was through T.V. and social media. She would like
the Commission meetings to be streamed live. Whether it was through Facebook live or
streaming.
Mr. Groff responded the New City Hall would have the ability to stream live.
Commissioner Penserga asked if there was a way to display the data to provide a map
to see the Districts where the complaints or compliments originated. Dr. St. Germain
responded it could be done. The -District results would show areas of concern.
Dr. St. German provided a broad overview of business owners. He spoke with 360
business owners. These owners were randomly selected and contacted through emails,
postcards and telephones. The businesses were asked leading questions and they
looked at overall ratings. Dr. St. German stated eight out of ten businesses rated the City
as committed to retaining businesses. The businesses were asked the same type of
questions as the residents and the businesses rated Boynton Beach Fire as number one.
Police came in as a close second.

Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Commissioner Romelus asked about a heat map that would show where they have
parking problems. Dr. St. Germain replied this be accommodated by District. She asked
how many surveys were sent out to business owners. Dr. St. Germain responded he
needed to check the number.
Commissioner Penserga asked if any of the data sets stood out. Dr. St. Germain
responded permitting and economic development stood out. The residents and business
owners agreed the City permitting process flowed well.
Commissioner McCray asked out of the 559 surveys received how many were from
District 2. There seemed to be more dissatisfied people from this District. Dr. St. Germain
responded 15% were from District 2.
Commissioner McCray indicated the City staff and elected official needed to begin
pinpointing why are they losing people in different Districts. Dr. St. Germain responded
the focus groups could ascertain why this District's residents were disgruntled.
Commissioner McCray asked if the telephone calls were to land lines only. Dr. St.
Germain responded the calls were random and to both cell and land lines.
Commissioner Romelus asked if addresses were requested. Dr. St. Germain advised
respondents was not required to provide an address.
Commissioner Romelus pointed out the typical layperson in Boynton Beach was not
aware of their District. Dr. St. Germain replied with the online version, the residents are
shown a map. The interviewers try to explain the Districts by separations of turnpike and
east or west of 1-95. Commissioner Romelus suggested providing leading questions to
designate a District. Dr. St. Germain replied the interviewer did this.
Commissioner McCray asked what time of day the surveys were conducted. Dr. St.
Germain responded they were conducted both day and night.
Dr. St. Germain informed the Commission the surveys were in English, Spanish and
Creole. Commissioner Romelus asked if the interviews were done in multiple languages
for the telephone surveys. Dr. St. Germain indicated they were.
Mayor Grant stated one of the concerns he has for the next focus group was what was
being researched and if the Commission had any specific item they wanted surveyed.
Dr. St. Germain replied they were happy to work with staff and the Commission.
Ms. LaVerriere indicated that was a good question for strategic planning.
Mayor Grant stated he wanted to know what they were looking at in the focus group. The
Commission may not know what would be done in the focus group.

Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Ms. LaVerriere indicated the Commission wanted input on the questions or topics of the
focus group.
Vice Mayor Katz recalled that individual Commission members would not put their hands
into the process. The Commission was clear that no individual would be able to influence
the questions as not to potentially taint the survey.
Ms. LaVerriere pointed out they could research questions for the survey strategic planning
process. Dr. St. Germain responded it was good to have input from all concerned.
Commissioner Penserga asked how many focus groups would be conducted. Ms. Krusell
responded they would be doing both residential and business focus groups.
Commissioner Penserga asked if the residents were within the City limits. Ms. Krusell
responded they were.
B. Discuss if Commission wants to have a public input meeting or 2019/20budget,

Boynton Beach, Florida April,16, 2019
B. Discussion regarding prohibition of truck and other commercial use
vehicle parking in residential neighborhoods.
Attorney Cherof stated there was a draft Ordinance to modify truck regulations in the City
Code. Attorney Cherof stated what staff was looking for was authorization to move this
Ordinance forward for first reading. He pointed out page two, line 72 contained penalties
for violations. This was discussed with staff and they agreed it would be more appropriate
to increase the first violation fine from $50 to $100. Commissioner McCray agreed with
the City Attorney.
Mayor Grant asked if a resident rents a Budget truck and leaves it overnight at their home,
if the resident were fined $100. Attorney Cherof responded they would. This was not just
for rental, this was for people who use trucks for transport and business. There are some
exceptions in the draft Ordinance. As an example, if the truck owner was the property
owner and the truck does not extend beyond the driveway. It may be best to allow this to
move to first reading and work out the details later.
Commissioner McCray commented residents brought this item to his attention.
Attorney Cherof explained this Ordinance was drafted to be broader than just for 18 -
wheelers. It detracts from their property values. If the Commission chose to adopt this
Ordinance, before this become enforceable, there would be a notice to the public to alter
the behavior. Attorney Cherof indicated he was looking for direction.
Commissioner Penserga asked if this would also apply to Homeowner Associations who
may or may not have their own regulations. Attorney Cherof explained this would apply
to all single -zoned districts, private and public.
Ms. LaVerriere responded it was difficult to pull out just semi/tractor trailer and would be
difficult to pinpoint the semi -truck issue without prohibiting commercial vehicles. This
would not practical, because there are residents which have jobs which require them to
have a commercial vehicle in their driveway.
Mayor Grant stated if the truck/trailer could fit on a driveway, it would not apply. This does
not apply for semi/trailers at the Family Dollar stores. Ms. LaVerriere responded this was
commercial property and the semi/tractors would not be affected. Ms. LaVerriere pointed
out this was commercial property and it would still be allowed.
Mayor Grant asked if there was parallel parking on Martin Luther King Boulevard, if it
would stop anyone from parking. Mr. Groff responded some of the parking would be
controlled by the City parking regulations. The Commission could direct staff to place no
overnight parking signs in the area. If this was a commercial street, the signs could be
site specific. Ms. LaVerriere pointed out she had some parking signs placed on Martin
Luther King Boulevard and they were all stolen. The signs will be replaced and concreted
into the ground.

Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Mayor Grant opened for public comments.
Susan Oyer 140 SE 27 Way, informed the Commission there was a semitrailer on her
street and they leave the truck running for hours. She noticed this Ordinance did not
mention noise and asked if this would be addressed. Ms. Oyer stated she has a neighbor
with a tow truck. She read vehicles not meant for passenger use, would be restricted.
Attorney Cherof said staff never considered the running vehicles and this was not
addressed. Mr. Groff explained there was a Noise Ordinance and staff was looking for
direction from the Commission.
Mayor Grant asked how many axels a Mack truck had. Mr. Groff replied staff began with
two axels, but there is a class of vehicles that have only two axels. Mayor Grant said there
would always be loopholes. Mr. Groff said the Ordinance could say a commercial vehicle
with no more than two axles. This does not address tow trucks owned by a property
owner, which have two axels.
Mayor Grant said regardless of the axels, tow trucks must be parked on the driveway. Mr.
Groff recommended moving forward for the Ordinance.
Mayor Grant asked for first reading at the May 7, 2019, meeting.
There was a consensus

City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida April 16, 2019
Vote
The motion unanimously passed.
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 19-010 into the record by title only on first
reading.
He explained the State of Florida would preempt the municipalities except in a very limited
fashion from enforcing a ban of motorized scooters. The State will regulate and the City
would need to treat the motorized scooters like bicycles. Attorney Cherof indicated he
does not believe this Ordinance was ready to move forward and suggested working with
the lobbyist.
Mayor Grant asked what happens if the City has an Ordinance in place before the
preemption. Attorney Cherof responded it would be of no effect.
Mayor Grant suggested the Commission move forward on the proposed Ordinance. He
said it would be easier for the Lobbyist to add the amendments so that nothing that was
in place was affected, rather than trying to change the rule.
Attorney Cherof asked if the Mayor was asking to move forward with banning the
motorized scooters in its entirety. Mayor Grant replied that was correct. The City could
say they had the ban prior to the preemption.
Attorney Cherof explained the definition of motorized scooters.
Attorney Cherof stated if there was a motion to adopt this Ordinance on first reading, it
would return to the Commission, because the title has been made broad enough to go in
either direction. It would come back with significant amendments. What will be seen was
very few words, except the remaining words that the motorized scooters are not allowed.
Mayor Grant said the City could tell their lobbyist they wanted to have preemption only if
it provided in the future and not Ex -Post Facto.
Commissioner Romelus indicated based on the last version; they removed the hoover
boards from the Ordinance.
Motion
Vice Mayor Katz moved to approve on first reading. Commissioner Romelus seconded
the motion.
