Applicant: Joni Brinkman of Urban Design Kilday Studios. Joni Brinkman, Urban Design Kilday Studios, gave a PowerPoint presentation for the proposed one-story office building. Building is positioned is situated on southern portion of the lot, at the corner, and meets all the setbacks. Site plan(attached)was described. Entryways are off Boynton Beach and NW 7h Court, with main access off NW 7h. As a professional office building, seven parking spaces are provided, including a handicap space. While too small a property to require certain sustainability features,this design includes one electrical vehicle charging station. Because of its size, this property does not have a dumpster, but rather totes as are used on similar property across the street. Only change on the site plan as a condition of approval will be the construction of a bus shelter (7'x11'); final site plan will be provided after Commission approval. Also for sustainability features are butterfly plants and white reflective paint on flat roof. The color palette is a gray tone with accent blue grays. Elevations were shown, including compliance with signage limitations, with the condition that the sign on the north side will not be illuminated so as not to impact the residential areas. Chair Katz opened the floor to public comment: o Susan Oyer, 140 SE 27th Way, had one comment which was to suggest some additional butterfly plants or alternates to attract certain endangered species. Chair Katz closed the floor to public comment. Mr. Simon was curious regarding the bus shelter, was it dictated by the County? Ms. Brinkman said it was a suggestion by City Staff and they worked with Palm Tran as to the size of the easement and traffic impact (there is currently a stop there, with a bench). Mr. Simon also asked about the tenants; as stated in opening comments, Ms. Brinkman said the developer will have offices there. Chair Katz wondered when the groundbreaking will be as the lot is periodically used under the "curb stoning"ordinance, and asked that appropriate signage be put up when development is about to begin. Also, in regards to the private home on the north side of the site plan, will a wall be put in? Ms. Brinkman said a 12-foot buffer is required by code; the 6-foot wall will be in the middle of the buffer with landscaping on both sides. Chair Katz wants to see landscaping buffer across Meeting Minutes Planning and Development Board Page 3 September 24, 2019 entire wall as a condition of approval. Mr. Simon added that along the north buffer, increase the density and reduce the spacing between the trees, and increase quantity of trees to add to buffer. Motion made by Mr. Gropper, seconded by Mr. Zonenstein, to approve request for New Site Plan (NWSP 19-002) to construct a one (1) story, 1,989 square foot professional office building and related site improvements on a 12,822 square foot vacant lot located at the northwest corner of NW 7th Court and Boynton Beach Boulevard, with additional condition of approval related to the landscaping as suggested by the Chair. In a voice vote,the motion passed unanimously (7-0). 7.13. Approve BIRD Property Future Land Use Map amendment (LUAR 19-004) from the Palm Beach County's Industrial (IND) classification to the City's Industrial (I) classification. City-initiated. Approve BIRD Property Rezoning (LUAR 19-004) from the Palm Beach County's Light Industrial(IL)zoning district to the City's M-1 Light Industrial zoning district City-initiated. Ms. Matras noted these are long-overdue housekeeping items and described them on PowerPoint slides. The property was annexed in 2010 as two parcels, one as the property now being considered as well as a small school parcel. The school requested annexation and the interlocal agreement was pursued for said annexation. The 1.89 acres was too small for houses and is currently used for outdoor storage. The City was not required to do land use amendments at that time due to interpretation of State statute; property owner argued connection to the sewer was an undue burden; interpretation of State statute changed, no longer requiring connection to City sewer. At the time of annexation, the property was recommended as light industrial which would not change the land use zoning between County and City. This is consistent with City's position that the City should retain/increase the amount of industrial acreage. Chair Katz opened the floor to public comment: o Robin Bird, 125 NW 31st Terrace, is the property owner. He described the small, family-owned business building as containing 146 storage bays, with 153 stored vehicles; 165 of the customers are Boynton Beach residents. Mr. Bird is satisfied with the amendment as described. Chair Katz closed the floor to public comment. Motion made by Mr. Buoni, seconded by Mr. Zonenstein,to approve BIRD Property Future Land Use Map amendment (LUAR 19-004) from the Palm Beach County's Industrial (IND) classification to the City's Industrial (I) classification. In a voice vote, the motion passed unanimously (7-0). Motion made by Mr. Buoni, seconded by Mr. Zonenstein, to approve BIRD Property Rezoning (LUAR 19-004) from the Palm Beach County's Light Industrial (IL) zoning district to the City's M-1 Light Industrial zoning district, with conditions of approval. In a voice vote, the motion passed unanimously (7-0). Meeting Minutes Planning and Development Board Page 4 September 24, 2019 8. Other—None 9. Comments by Members —None 10.
