Mr. Haag advised that the applicant has to adhere to the number of seats licensed for that facility. Parking is based on the number of seats in the facility. If the applicant increases the seats, he will have to justify new shared parking. 6. OLD BUSINESS None. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Land Development Orders (Other Than Site Plans) Time Extension Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Brisson Medical Building Monica Brisson Dale and Monica Brisson 305 S.E. 23r° Avenue Request for approval of a 20 month retroactive time extension for a major site plan modification and concurrency to expire October 21, 1997. Mr. Haag advised that staff recommended approval as identified in Exhibit "D". Dale Brisson requested this extension so that he may proceed based on the approvals received about a year and a half ago. Mr. Rosenstock asked why nothing has been done yet. Mr. Brisson attributed this to financing. Mr. Rosenstock asked if the financing is in place now, Mr. Brisson advised that he has not received a commitment. Mr. Rosenstock asked why he did not request a time extension prior to the deadline. Mr. Brisson stated that he has about 10 other businesses, and this time extension just lapsed. Mr. Aguila stated that several years ago, the City generally approved time extensions because of the economic conditions. He does not feel that this request falls into this category. He pointed out that Monica Brisson's letter requesting an extension does not give any justification or explanation. 3 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Motion Mr. Rosenstock moved to deny this time extension as requested for the Brisson Medical Building located at 305 S.E. 23rd Avenue. Mr. Aguila seconded the motion. Mr. Reed did not see any convincing rationale for approwng this time extension. Mr. Rosenstock did not think there would be a problem approving a time extension if the applicant had a letter of commitment from a bank or financial institution showing that the financing is in place. The motion carried unanimously. Consensus With regard to the request for direction in the first paragraph on page 2 of Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum No. 97-129, it was the consensus of the board that retroactive time extensions should not be approved. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Grove Plaza Julian Bryan and Associates Dr. Walter H, Janke and Ms. Alice Fay Southeast corner of Hypolu×o Road and Lawrence Road Request for approval of a one I1) year time extension for subdivision master plan approval and concurrency to expire March 19, 1998. Attorney Jerry Nide represented the applicant and advised that this request for an extension is timely. The reason for the delay in getting this project going had to do with concurrency. He recently received a letter dated March 24, 1997 from the Palm Beach County Department of Engineering and Public Works stating that the contract for the widening of Gateway Boulevard from Congress Avenue to Military Trail has now been awarded and this project meets the traffic performance standards of Palm Beach County. Mr. Nide said'the phasing of this project was tied to the widening of Gateway Boulevard. There were also problems with respect to getting sewer and drainage to the site. The applicant is in the process of actively continuing the platting process and is negotiating contracts with parties who are interested in this site. Chairman Dub~ pointed out that the Planning and Zoning Department recommended denial of this request based on four reasons. Mr. Nide and Mr. Bryan addressed those reasons as follows: 4 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Staff Comment: This property represents speculative development as it has had a commercial land use designation for almost seven years without building construction. Mr. Nide stated that when this property was annexed into the City, it was given a local retail commercial land use designation because this parcel possessed a County commercial Iow land use plan designation and because the narrow configuration of the parcel would make residential development of the property very difficult. Mr. Nide stated that the comments refer more to the merits of the master plan than to the request for an extension. At this time, Chairman Dub~ welcomed Mayor Jerry Taylor to the meeting. · Staff Comment: The proposed uses do not m~nimize negative impacts on the adjacent large lot. single family neighborhood to the south. Mr. Nide stated that there is approximately 29,000 square feet of building area. On an 8+ acre site like this, you would typically see something in the range of 80,000 square feet of retail. Therefore, this is substantially lower than what can possibly go on this site in terms of retail development. This site was master planned to limit access to the adjacent roadways, limit the impact on the adjacent roadways, and limit the curb cuts. It is a Iow intensity development. When this project was first approved, there was a condition of approval that at the time site plans are brought in for the individual parcels, detailed site development regulations will be provided to govern architectural features, access, lighting, design, etc. All of this will be master planned so there is a similar theme regarding development of the property. Staff Comment: The proposed ot arrangement (numbers of lots) and building layout (lack of unified structures with architectural, landscape and signage controls) reflects strip commercial and does not employ planning principles that will ensure an attractive, quality development. Julian Bryan, Planning Consultant for this project, was not certain what the basis for these, comments were. He called staff several times; however, the Director has not been able to return his calls over the last month and a half. He stated that this is the same staff who reviewed this 18 months ago and did not have these comments. He went through three TRC meetings regarding site planning issues, such as the rear access drive that connects all six building pad sites and parcels, the location of access points onto Hypoluxo Road. the placing of a wall along the rear property line, the significantly greater building Setbacks that are presently required by Code. etc. There are general notes on the plan representing that the first site plan would be the one that 5 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 would establish the design guidelines, architectural elevation, building colors, textures, roof details, signage, and uniformity of landscaping. The applicant recognized that there needs to be a property owners association that will maintain the common elements. Not only has this site been significantly underutilized, but the applicant has provided additional safeguards with additional setbacks, wider landscape buffers~ and placed the dumpsters about 60 feet away from the property line to try to minimize odor. All of the dumpsters are set up so thatthey work in one direction · Staff Comment: Development of this type will encourage similar development on the vacant parcel on the southwest corner of Lawrence Road and Hypoluxo Road. Mr. Bryan felt it would be good if the southwest corner was developed similarly. The large national franchise people are going more often to freestanding sites. This would provide an opportunity to have a group of freestanding sites with control and internal circulation. There will be cross access easements internally for all vehicular access. There is an opportunity to go from one site to another without going on the street. You can go from the residential development area south on Lawrence Road into the site without going on Hypoluxo Road and going through the intersection. Mr, Nide advised that he had no objection to staff comment 2. Mr. Myott pointed out that the general notes mention similar exterior colors; however. they do not mention textures, s,gnage, or similar architectural forms or elements that tie the site together. Mr. Nide stated that approval of the master plan was conditioned upon bringing in site development criteria, guidelines, or standards that would govern the development of the site at the time the applicant comes back with the first site plan. Mr. Aguila wanted continuity of architectural style and he wanted all tenants to abide by it, regardless of their corporate identity. Mr. Nide stated that he recently worked on a similar situation in the City of Sunrise and developed guidelines that had a palette of colors that were complimentary to each other, architectural styles that were complimentary, and signage guidelines that were complimentary but would still accommodate the umque requirements of the individual tenants to a degree. Mr. Aguila stated that the two easternmost parcels are restaurants. Restaurants have unique requirements such as loading, can washing, and cooler placement. He asked if the applicant is confident that he is going to be able to isolate the smelly and noisy activities from the residential to the south and other parcels. Mr. Bryan answered affirmatively. He pointed out that the setback on the easterly structures is about 90 feet from the south property line. This provides an opportunity to create a substantial area north of the rear access road that connects the six parcels. This ~s one reason why the 6 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 applicant placed the dumpsters to the greatest extent possible on the north side of that road. Mr. Aguila asked when the road work will be finished Mr. Nide did not know. Mr. Aguila wondered if the applicant will return to this board if this work takes more than a year. Mr. Nide advised that the issue that solves the concurrency problem and allows the applicant to go to the next phase of the development is the actual letting of the contract. He did notthink the applicant has to wait for the actual construction. Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for a one time only 12 month time extension for the Grove Plaza project located at the southwest corner of Hypoluxo Road and Lawrence Road, subject to all staff comments. Mr. Eisner seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. B. Site Plans New Site Plan Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Crystal Key at Woolbright Place PUD Kenneth H. Kruger, P.E. Kennedy Homes East side of S.W. 8TM Street approximately 2.200 feet north of Woolbright Road Request for site plan approval of a .32 acre recreation area to include a pool, cabana and parking facility. Kenneth Kruger, Engineer for Kenneth Homes, agreed to all the conditions of approval in Exhibit "C" except 12, and requested clarification of 13. Number 12 is a recommendation only. The developer posted an amount of money to the City in lieu of having to put any kind of recreation area in this project. He is providing the recreation at his option. Kennedy Homes has built a number of communities throughout Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade Counties and is familiar with what makes a successful community. In addition, the single family lots are of sufficient size so that small swimming pools can be built by the individual homeowners. Mr. Myott asked if staff based this recommendation onthe Swimming Pool Code. Mr. Haag advised that the Development Department felt that the size of the pool is similar to a single family residential size pool and seems too small to offer as an 7 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACHi FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 amenity in this development of 83 homes. The pool is not too small according to City Regulations; however, the Health Department's approval is required. Staff had suggested that the applicant check with the Health Department. Mr. Kruger stated that there will be a loading requirement. At this time, Chairman Dub6 welcomed Commissioner Matt Bradley to the meeting. Mr. Aguila inquired about the location and screening of the pool equipment. Mr. Kruger advised that it will be located adjacent to the small cabana building that is adjacent to the pool and will be screened or landscaped. Mr. Aguila asked about curbs, He asked if there is going to be a s~x inch curb coming in from the street to the first parking place and then wheel stops the rest of the way. Mr. Kruger answered affirmatively. Hence. Mr. Aguila stated that where grass parking is now shown, there will be no grass parking and no need to continue the hedge. Mr. Kruger said that is correct. It will be paved parking. Mr. Aguila inquired about trash pickup. Mr. Kruger advised that there will be a small trash receptacle and the groundskeeper will empty it as needed. Mr. Aguila commented on the numerous staff comments and felt it sends a message that we do not want people to continue 'to build in this town. Mr. Haag clarified comment 13. Staff wants the applicant to provide the dimension to ensure it meets the setback from the intersection. Mr. Kruger had no problem with the 30 feet. Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for site plan approval of a .32 acre recreation area to include a pool, cabana and parking facility for Crystal Key at Woolbright Place PUD, subject to all staff comments and the additional comment about screening the pool equipment, filters, and pumps from view and sounds. Staff can work this out. Mr, Reed seconded the motion. Mr. Eisner inquired about comment 12 Chairman Dubb advised that the board agrees with this recommendation: however, it is only a recommendation The motion carded 5-2. Messrs. Rosenstock and Wische cast the dissenting votes. 8 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Hampton Innat Quantum Corporate Park George F. White A.I.A. and Associates, Inc. Boynton Beach Hospitality, Inc. Northwest corner of Gateway Boulevard and the E-4 Canal Request for site plan approval to construct a 65,816 square foot (107 moms) hotel complex on a 3.57 acm lot (Lot 1) in Quantum Corporate Park. Richard "Chip" Carlson, Esquire, represented the Boynton Beach Hospitality Inn, the contract purchase of Lot 1. where the hotel is proposed. He advised that this is a limited service hotel. It does not have a lounge, restaurant, or meeting facilities. It is designed with the business traveler in mind and is intended to serve the Quantum Park development .and Motorola. The design aspects of the project have been closely coordinated with the needs of Motorola. The site is designated on the master plan for a hotel. A larger facility is provided for on [he east end near 1-95. Mr. Carlson referred to comment 14 on Exhibit "C" and advised that the Land Development Regulations provide for two different kinds of loading requirements. The one called for in comment 14 is for planned commercial developments, and this is a planned industrial development district. Our loading requirements are found in Section 7 of the Code, not Section 6. Therefore. comment 14 does not apply. Mr Lewicki agreed to remove this comment. Mr, Carlson advised that comment 24 relates to how Lot 1 was set up with two adjacent tracts; They were intended to be developed in a large package. However, we are only dealing with Lot 1, which does not involve the lake to the west (Lot lA) or the canal easement to the east (also Lot lA). Comment 36 relates to that issue. The Planning and Zoning Department wants a covenant recorded that would separate Lot 1 from Lot lA on the master plan and plat. That would make comment 24 moot. The Quantum Community Development District is responsible for maintaining the water management tract and the canal easement needs to be maintained by the Lake Worth Drainage District: With regard to comment 35, Mr. Carlson stated that the applicant does not necessarily have to move the greenbelt outside the easement. Mr. Lewicki agreed that if the applicant can get the consent of FPL to have them overlap, there would be no problem. Mr. Aguila asked for clarification of comment 36. Mr. Carlson advised that the plat of this portion of Quantum Park ties LOt 1, which is what his client is purchasing, with Lot 9 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 lA to the west, which is the water management tract serving Lots 1, 2, and 3 of the Quantum Park development. It also ties Lot 1 with the Lake Worth Drainage. District canal easement to the east. He thinks the intent was to provide for a more intensive type facility on Lot 1 because it is surrounded with open space. Staff felt the better approach is to separate Lot I and make it clear that it is a separate freestanding lot that ,does not involve the water management tract to the west and the canal easement to the east. Mr. Carlson did not have any problem with this. This makes comment 24 academic because his .client would not be taking on the maintenance responsibility of that. That belongs to the Community Development District. Mr. Aguila asked if there is a plan for the future development of the east side of Lot 1. Mr. Carlson advised that the plan is to bring in a separate freestanding restaurant once the master plan is amended to allow that use in there. That restaurant would meet all the property development regulations in that area that is designated for future development. Mr. Myott ~nquired about the s~ze and use of the office structure, Mr. Carlson advised that it is about 1,500 square feet and the intent is to have the office functions and management functions of the hotel put into that separate building. There is some thought about not going forward with a separate facility and bringing it back into the hotel. He has discussed [his with staff and they indicated that if the applicant decides to put the office in the hotel, it would be an administrative process. Mr. Rosenstock asked if there are individual air conditioners under the windows in every room and if the windows can be opened. Mr. Carlson answered affirmatively to both questions. Mr. Eisner asked why there are individual window units as opposed to one central unit. Architect James DeSpidto of George F. White A.1.A. and Associates. Inc. advised that it is much more economical and energy efficient to have separate units in each room. Motion Mr. Wische moved to approve the request for site plan approval to construct a 65,816 square foot (107 rooms) hotel complex on a 3.57 acre lot (Lot 1) in Quantum Corporate Park for Hampton Inn at Quantum Corporate Park, subject to staff comments with the deletion of 24 and 14 and the modification of 35. Mr. EiSner seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 10 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Major Site Plan Modification Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Old Dutch Mill Seafood Market George C. Davis Scott and Mary Jo Bills 1022 North Federal Highway Request for approval of a major site plan modification to remodel the existing building exterior, add a 100 square foot addition and reconstruct the parking lot on ,25 acres. Mr. Aguila asked how the building is nonconforming. Mr. Lewicki advised that the setbacks are nonconforming. Mr. Aguila asked how long it has been vacant. Mr. Lewicki advised that it has been vacant for about two and a half years. Mr. Aguila asked if there is a use problem with what the applicant is proposing to do. Mr. Lewicki said there is no use problem because the use proposed is within the zoning classification. However. the change of use triggers the major site plan modification Mr. Aguila referred to the comment in Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum #97-126 that there ~s minimal landscaping on the site. but its quantity and location cannot be verified as the submitted survey of the property Js deficient. He asked if staff reviewed the current landscaping conditions to make an evaluation, or if they are relying on the survey. Mr. Lewicki said he was hoping that the second submittal would resolve the problem. Mr. Aguila felt sign packages should be submitted and reviewed at the time this board evaluates the rest of the site because signage has a major impact on projects. Mr. Lewicki explained that the Code requires submittal of the sign package; however, it also states that we cannot stop an application once it is in the process. Architect George Davis agreed to all the conditions of approval on Exhibit-"C". Mr. Aguila asked what the second floor is going to be used for. Mr. Davis stated that the second floor is inhabitable and will be sealed off until the applicant has money to do something with it. Mr. Lewicki stated that the location of the screemng and rooftop equipment has to be identified and expects that this issue will be resolved at the time of permit. Mr. Myott stated that the plan is not clear with regard to the windows on the second story and the trim. He suggested that the whole building be cleaned up. Mr. Davis advised that the applicant plans to do that. MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the Old Dutch Mill Seafood Market subject to all staff comments. Mr. Wische seconded the motion. Mr. Haag advised that the board could request the applicant to prepare a sign package and have staff bring it back to them for review, Mr. Aguila did not want to slow down this project. However, he would like to see sign packages with future applications, particularly in major corridors and areas that are highly visible. The motion carried unanimously, C. Other Parking Lot Variance Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Old Dutch Mill Seafood Market George C. Davis Scott and Mary Jo Bills 1022 North Federal Highway Request relief from Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article I1~ Section H.3 to allow continuance of a driveway onto Federal Highway, 74 feet from the intersecting rights-of-way lines. Mr. Davis advised that this variance ~s crucial in order to proceed with the work. it is a very sma/ lot and the large garbage truck cannot get into the area to pick up the dumpster. Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for relief from Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II, Section H.3 to allow continuance of a driveway onto Federal Highway, 74 feet from the intersecting rights-of-way lines for Old Dutch Mil Seafood Market. subject to staff comments. Mr. Wische seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 12 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 8, COMMENTS BY MEMBERS Discussion Regarding Combining and Eliminating City Advisory Boards Chairman Dub~ asked the members of the board for their comments, since some of them will not be able to attend the Commission meeting Friday. He stated that staff is recommending that the number of members of this board be reduced to five. Mr. Wische was unable to attend the last City Commission meeting. Therefore, he requested to hear from the Commission. Commissioner Bradley advised that he brought up the idea of sunset-ting all boards in order to create a level playing field from which the Commission can begin to look at all boards from a staffing perspective. Information is being gathered regarding what it costs the taxpayers to have staff people at 22 different boards. He felt we need to look at consolidating some boards, sunsetting some, and keeping others. He would like to combine this board with the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board. In addition, he would like to give some of the quasi-judicial duties of some of the other boards to this board. He would like [o reduce some of the boards by giving this board more responsibility. He could not imagine reducing the membership of this board if it is given more responsibilities. Mr. Wische inquired about a special master. Commissioner Bradley stated that in many municipalities, quasi-judicial issues are resolved by a special master. This is another option to consider. It may not be beneficial from a staff standpoint because you have to pay a special master and an attorney to sit on the board. However. it takes some of the liability away from the City and from the people who sit on the boards. The problem is that it takes away public input and we are trying to get more people involved in the City. The public input process is very important. Mr. Myott said the Planning and Development Board does not seem to have much of a community appearance type function. He felt this board shoulcJ be presented with building plans so that they can get a better picture of what the project is going to look like. Commissioner Bradley stated that if this board consists of experts in development. planning, and community appearance, we might be able to accomplish all those things. Chairman Dub6 advised that staff is going to recommended that this board meet twice a month to expedite projects. 13 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Mr. Aguila said he sees projects going up in the City that he sees for the first time when they are being built. He does not understand why this board does not have some input on those projects. He felt ~he Board of Zoning Appeals, the Community Redevelopment Board and the Planning and Development Board should be combined and decide on all issues that affect developments, specifically items that impact the public. It seemed to him that this board, is doing things in a vacuum without seeing what is happening next door. Without looking at the whole picture and without having full responsibility, he personally is lOsing interest and feels like he is wasting his time. Mr. Rosenstock felt sunsetting all the boards is a bad idea. He felt that if there is a problem with a particular board, the issue should stand on its own. He advised that the Code Enfomement Board of Palm Beach County has had problems, and the County is going to appoint three special masters in place of that board. He felt there should be no more and no less than seven members on the Plan:ning and Development Board. The Statute calls for this board be comprised of people in different areas of expertise to decide what is best for the City. He felt the boards should be analyzed one by one. He agreed with Mr. Aguila th~ this board should be able to look at the whole picture and have some power. He felt 't is Unwieldy to have as many boards as we do just to give people appointments. He pointed out that a lot of issues can be handled administratively. Mr. Reed felt it was a good tactic to sunset all the boards because it can solve problems without raising too many other issues. Mr. Aguila was uncomfortable with the sunsetting of all the boards because it could send a message to various board members that they are not appreciated Chairman Dube felt this board has had more support from the Commission in the past two years than it has had previously. He pointed out that this City Commission has agreed with most of this board's decisions and puts more importance on what they say. Mayor Taylor had no problem with Commissioner Bradley clarifying the action that the Commission took at its last meeting. However, he did not want to make any comments this evening because there is going to be a workshop on this issue Friday. B. April 22"d Planning and Development Board Meeting Mr. Haag advised that there will be a Planning and Development Board meeting on April 22®. Messrs. DubS, Reed, and Aguila will be able to attend this meeting. 14 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 8, 1997 Messrs. Rosenstock and Wische objected to meetings being scheduled on the Jewish holidays. Chairman Dubb assured them that it will not count as an absence against them. 9. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the board, the meeting was adjourned at 8:53 p.m. Eve Eubanks ' Recording Secretary (Two Tapes) 15
