Ellen Smith of Unruh-Smith & Associates advised that City staff recommended denial of
the plan amendment for the commercial designation for the 14 acres. Staff a so
recommended denial of the master Plan ameridment. The proposal is to ~xtract ~14
acres from a larger PUD for the purp(Jses of developing a health care campus.I In order
to accomplish this, they had to fi e throe different appl ~ations with the City. Tl-~ese three

Ms. Smith stated that the project is consistent with the code and the ComprE qensive

Mr. Dubb stated that about four years ago this board approved an ACLF and Ihas since
granted two extensions, but it has never been built. The board recently apploved one
on Congress Avenue and Golf Road. The one on High Ridge has rec(~ntly been
expanded. He was concerned about ending up with too many ACLFs.
Chairman Wische pointed out that the people who are migrating to Florida a~re mainly
elderly, He did not think there could ever be too many ACLFs. He pointed o~t that the
ones that are managed correctly have waiting lists. As you get older ~,ou need
assurance of a place to go.
Mr. Aguila did not support this project. He stated that he lives at the second ~et of stop
signs ~and nobody stops at them. Ever since this road was opened, the ameudt of traffic
generated from the two lane road going to Boynton Beach Boulevard I~as been
incredible. He wondered why the church had not voiced its objections at the time the
gas station and Cracker Barrel came in, He felt that this particular proposal s not the
0nly thing that can solve the church's dilemma. This site cou d be sold to a r ~sidential
developer and can go to medium and high density The owners can get their n Ioney out
of it and do the ~mprovements that they want to do downtown without having a negative
impact on the traffic on S,W, 8th. He wondered how Cracker Barrel, RaceTrac, and
Home Depot feel about pulling this out of the PCD ~
Mr. Reed did not support this project. He stated that just because the church~ishes to
withdraw from that property doesn't mean it has to automatically be rezoned. -here are
compatible uses that can be made with the property that will also protect the itizens of
Leisureville and the surrounding areas and will not impose the traffic penalties ~nd other
penalties that adding a commercial faci.lity in this area would do.
Mr. Friedland stated that the.City is growing and you cannot stop growth. H6 felt there
was plenty of "pie" for this industry and for bringing taxes and additional job~ into the
community. He could not think of anything cleaner to put in this area other ti' n private
dwellings. However, private dwellings do not provide jobs.

/
Mr. Aguila circulated some photographs of Discount Auto. He stated that at the last
meeting, he pointed out that there are additional signage display "windows" o~ the west
and south facades of the building. Also, there are two roll down shutters over the two
side windows and the front entry door. He felt this was a very unattracti~,e way of
providing storm protection. He stated that if anybody is going to put something on a
building that has such an impact on its elevation and ~)n what the citizens seel it should
be presented to this board at the time of site plan approval when the board re'views the
elevations. He wanted to know how s~x more signs were allowed on this building and
how the storm/security roll down shutters were put on without the benefit of this board
reviewing it.
Michael Morton. the former developer of this site, was present and stated that he sold
the property to Discount Auto. He felt they should be directed to take the siCns down.
This was offensive to him because he still has the rest of the shopping center to build
and this is not what he intended to see in the shopping center.
Ms. Heyden stated that Discount Auto is ~n violation of the Sign Code, which o~ly allows
20 percent of the glass area to be occupied by signs. In addition, the City did 8ot permit
the roll down shutters. She will report this to Code Enforcement tomorrow. ~
Mr. Aguila stated that the roll down shutters need to be removed. The Code~ requires
that they provide storm protection, n the soffit of the mansard roof, they can recess the
hood that receives the coil and it will not be seen by the public, except at night ~vhen the
store is closed.
Bulent Kesterlik, Director of Development. stated that windows are functional and
should be used for light or air.

Dear Mr. Rumpe;
I am writing because I am unable to attend the December 22nd public hearing. Please
read this into the record_
This is in regards to your notice of land use change on Woolbright Place, plat 1 as
recorded in Plat Book 67 pages 47 tl~ough 49 in the public records of Palm Beach County.
I have no problem with the reqnest for the zone change in so far as it effects tract "H'
a purcel of I4.18 acres owned by the First Baptist Church of Boynton Beach Florida.
My concern is for the area in said 14.18 tract "17 on the northwest corner adjaeem to
Palm Beach Leisureville.. An existing berm on the west side effectively prohibits any over flow
of the 6.2 acre retention pond from flowing on to Palm Beach Leisureville. However, this berm,
at pr~ent, ~e~..ds short .of the F'.~rst Baptist Church property. The result is tha~ heavy rain~ have
over nowed the retention pond and badly flooded Leisureville and particularly Canal Way, a
private street in Leisureville. This happened w/thin the last 11/2 years.
I am requesting the creation of a small Imffer zone0ess than 1/4 acre) in the northwest
corner of the church property. A buffer zone would:
* preserve two specimen 40 foot hibiscus trees
*be part of the easement for the high voltage mmsmismon lines
*be part of the easement for the 30" culvert draining the retention pond
Additionally, thc continuation of lhe buffer, as reqnimd in the Master Plan. should be
positioned south of the wansmission line and drainage easernents. This would:
* create the small buffer referred to above
* preserve the 2 specimen 40 foot hibiscus trees
* prevent flooding of Palm Beach Leisureville
create the -visual and noise buffer for Palm Beach Leisureville as originally
intended by construction of the berm
[ would appreciate being kept informed of any developments relative to this property.
Thank you for making this part of the public record.
Sincerely yours,
