PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Chairman Dub~ called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. and led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. 2. INTRODUCTION OF MAYOR, COMMISSIONERS AND BOARD MEMBERS Chairman Dub~ introduced the members of the board. 3. AGENDA APPROVAL Motion Vice Chairman Golden moved to accept the agenda. Mr. Eisner seconded the motion, which carried 6-0. At this time, Chairman Dub6 acknowledged the presence of Vice Mayor Shirley Jaskiewicz in the audience. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES No additions, deletions, or corrections were made to the minutes of the last meeting~ MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BO~ BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the minutes of the August 9, 1996 meeting. Mr. Wische seconded the motion, which carried 6-0. 5. COMMUNICATIONS ANDANNOUNCEMENTS A. Report from the Planning and Zoning Department 1. Final Disposition of Last Meet ng's Agenda Items Ms. Heyden reported that the City Commission approved the Boynton Commons PCD rezoning subject to all staff comments, with the exception of the changes that the Planning and Development Board recommended. After the last Planning and Development Board meeting, she discussed four additional comments with the applicant. Those comments deal with adding paver bricks to the front of the main building, substituting the clock tower for some other design treatment such as a fountain or statue in front of the main building, adding some landscape planters in front of the main building, adding landscaping (comparable to the greenbelt planting that the applicant proposed) along the main access where the clock tower was once located, and pedestrian lighting along that access as well as along the front of the building. The City Commission was agreeable to these conditions. The City Commission alSo approved the Boynton Commons PCB parking lot variance and the Kepner Drive abandonment, sUbject to all staff comments. 2. Atrium Plaza Landscaping Ms. Heyden stated that at the last meeting, it was brought to staff's attention that the landscaping at Atrium Plaza was lacking. There appears to have been a Code Enforcement case for landscape maintenance which was withdrawn because the applicant had provided a landscape plan that s,upposedly superseded the landscape plan that the City had on file. Staff is having trouble locating the exact landscape plan. She asked the members of the board if they can offer any information regarding what approval the additional landscaping is tied to. MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Mr. Aguila advised that at a Planning and Development Board meeting, approval of the driveway onto U.S. 1 was conditioned upon providing trees, hedges, and other landscaping improvements along U.S. 1. 3. Sunshine Square Shopping Center Chairman Dub6 advised that all the wheel stops in the Sunshine Square Shopping Center are missing from the interior of the parking lot. Ms. Heyden will have this checked out. However, she advised that the Director of Development is proposing some changes to the Land Development Regulations, and one of the changes is that the requirement for wheel stops be deleted. She stated that the City Commission approved Mervyn's without wheel stops robe consistent with the rest of the mall. It was felt that if you can eliminate them there, then we should get rid of the requirement. Mr. Aguila felt that it made sense not to require wheel stops at the mall; however, he hoped the Commission is not going to eliminate them altogether. He asked if the proposed changes to the Land Development Regulations will be brought before this board. Ms. Heyden advised that the board will be able to give their input probably after .first reading. Vice Chairman Golden believes the mall does not have wheel stops because the County issued the original DO and did not require them. 6. OLD BUSINESS A. Community Design Appeal (Postponed from August 13,1996) Project: Blockbuster Video Agent: Will Sherrod Anchor Awning & Signs Owner: Blockbuster Entertainment Location: Boynton Lakes Plaza-southeast corner of Congress Avenue and Hypoluxo Road Description: Request to appeal the Community Design Plan to allow back-lit awnings on a new outparcel building. Mr. Sherrod stated that Mike Haag advised him that based on the unity of title, any back-lit awnings in the shopping center would have to be the same color as the existing Miami Subs. However, there is a sign program for the Boynton Lakes Plaza to allow nationally registered tenants to erect their corporate signs with no color limitations. 3 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Ms. Heyden stated that we have extended ourselves beyond what we normally would do to fill in some of the gaps with the information that we did not have in order to process this appeal. Staff realizes how important this kind of design feature is to Blockbuster when making a decision in locating on a ~)articular piece of property. Staff did not receive many of the elevations that they normally would for this kind of a request. The elevations that were turned in did not indicate the colors of the walls. One of the conditions is that the color of the walls match the ma~n shopping center. Mr. Sherrod stated that the elevations displayed this evening are conceptional and show a prototype building. The architect will come up with a different design, incorporating the gable roof, the barrel roof tiles, etc. His only question this evening is if Blockbuster can have blue back-lit awnings as opposed to aqua and pink back-lit awnings. Ms. Heyden agreed to the color of the awnings provided all five of the comments are complied with when the elevations are redesigned. The comments also include reducing the amount of the awnings. Vice Chairman Golden asked why the applicant ~s coming before the Planning and Development Board now when they have to return to show the board the whole project. Ms. Heyden explained that the applicant did not want to go through the expense of doing full blown site plan elevations until they had this key question answered. It seemed to Mr. Reed that since the regulations already allow what the applicant is requesting, that the applicant did not have to come before this board. However, Ms. Heyden advised him that the Community Design Plan does not allow back-lit awnings. Th s s~ze of the sign seemed disproportionately large to Mr. Aguila. He asked if it falls within the guidelines of the sign ordinance. Mr. Sherrod advised that the code allows the sign to be 1.5 times the building frontage of the main entrance to the entire building. Mr. Aguila pointed out that many places in the City have back-lit awnings. Ms. Heyden stated that the latest Community Design Plan has only been in effect for about a year. The previous Community Design Plan did not deal specifically with elimination. The Sign Code contains language which addresses back-B awnings being used as signage and has been interpreted differently by the various administrators. We are not trying to prohibit them; however, we are trying to regulate them. Vice Chairman Golden pointed out that the issue is back-lit awnings, yet the comments cover other issues also. He wondered if we make the recommendation subject to staff 4 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 comments if we are going to limit ourselves when we see the entire building in the future. Ms. Heyden stated that she is looking at this as a tradeoff. These comments are what she feels are necessary to m~nimize the amount of the awnings. They are extensive. They are the prime feature of the building. There ~s no other feature on the building right now, exceptthe awmngs. She felt the two have to go hand in hand. She would not support the awmng issue without these conditions. Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request to appeal the Community Design Plan to allow back-lit awnings on a new outparcel building, subject to staff comments and recommendations, for.Blockbuster Video at Boynton Lakes Plaza. Mr. Wische seconded the motion. Vice Chairman Golden wondered if we should put a stipulation on the recommendation subiect to agreeing that we may have to deviate from some of the items when we see the entire package. Mr. Aguila felt we are going to see a totally different building. He said the applicant is already aware of some of the conditions, and we will probably only have to deal with the color of the building, the accents, and the size of the sign. The motion carried 5-1. Mr. Eisner cast the dissenting vote. 7. NEW BUSINESS A, Public Hearing Conditional Use Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: St. Joseph's Episcopal Church Jerome F. Milord St. Joseph's Episcopal Church 3300 South Seacrest Boulevard Request for conditional use approval for construction of a 1,878 square foot addition to Building No. 5 to include a new classroom, a covered walkway and a washroom facility in the St. Joseph's Episcopal Church and School complex. 5 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Mr. Milord advised that the addition is another classroom and some washroom areas. He agreed with all staff's conditions of approval. Motion Vice Chairman Golden moved to approve the request for conditional use approval for construction of a 1,878 square foot addition to Building No. 5 to include a new classroom, a covered walkway and a washroom facility in the St. Joseph's Episcopal Church and School complex, subject to staff comments. Mr. Eisner seconded the motion. No one in the audience wished to address this item. The motion carried Rezoning Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: East Ridge PUD John A. Grant, Jr., Inc. Gary De Graf, De Graf, Inc. Northeast of intersection of N.E. 4th Street and N.E. 20th Avenue Request for master plan approval for 34 single-family units in connection with a rezoning of 5.01 acres from R- 3 to PUD (Planned Unit Development) with an LUI of 7.00. Motion Vice Chairman Golden moved to continue the public hearing for the rezoning for the East Ridge PUD to the October 8, 1996 Planning and Development BOard meeting. Mr. Aguila seconded the motion, which carried 6-0. B, Subdivision Master Plan Modification 1. Project: Location: Woolbright Place PUD (Pod 1) (2nd Submittal) Approximately 2,000 feet north of the intersection of 6 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Applicant: Owner: Description: Woolbright Road and S.W. 8th Street Richard C. Wohlfarth, P.E. - CCL Consultants Howard Scharlin, Trustee Request to amend the previously approved master plan for 14.05 acres to change the dwelling units within Pod 1 from 90 multi-family dwelling units to 84 single-family, detached dwelling units; to reduce the north setback from 60 feet to 40 feet and reduce the perimeter building setback along S.W. 8th Street from 40 feet to 25 feet; to establish a 15 foot south perimeter building setback and a 20 foot east perimeter building setback, and add private recreation facilities. Chairman Dub6 advised that this has already been approved by the City Commission, and it is before this board to determine whether it is a substantial or nonsubstantial change. Ms. Heyden advised the board of the procedure. This first went to the City Commission for a determination of a substantial or nonsubstantial change, They determined it to be a nonsubstantial change and forwarded it to the Planning and Development Board for final determination and review of the comments. Mr. Wische said he attended the City Commission meeting at which this item was discussed for two hours. He was prepared to make a motion. Motion Mr. Wische moved that this is not a substantial change and approve it subject to staff comments. ViCe Chairman Golden seconded the motion. Michael Morton stated that the plan before the board this evening has already been conformed to meet all of the changes that the City Commission requested. The motion carried 6-0. Chairman Dubb asked if anyone in the audience wished to comment on this item; however, no one did. 7 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 C. Appeals Community Design Plan Appeal 1. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Riverwalk Shopping Center alk/a Causeway Square Lee Starky Lee Starky Group Florida Boynton Investment, Inc. Robert Armstrong, President 1600 South Federal Highway Request to appeal aspects of the Community Design Plan applicable to a street front facade containing a drive-up window, to allow a reduction in the percent of window coverage and the omission of a pitched roof. At this time, Chairman Dubb acknowledged the presence of Mayor Jerry Taylor and his wife in the audience. Mike Carey, President of Carey Company, agreed with all of staff's conditions on Exhibit E. Mr. Aguila asked Mr. Carey what he is going to do with the drive-thru canopy. As Mr. Carey understands the recommendation, the drive-thru canopy is to reflect the canopy in front of the Walgreen's. Therefore, it will have full height to the roof of the larger building behind it, and we would pick up the column details that exist on the building and carry them over to the drive-thru canopy. The arched canopy that runs from the northwest corner of the building to the drive-thru will be the Teflon canvas canopy, and it would be cantilevered off of the building in arches the same size and dimensions as the ones in front of the Winn- Dixie. It would, however, not be as deep as those, which are 10 feet deep. Vice Chairman Golden said he is going to vote against this request. He is strongly opposed to any drive-thru windows facing major roads, He feels that they Should be located on the sides or rear. Motion Mr. Wische moved to approve the request to appeal aspects of the Community Design Plan applicable to a street front facade containing a drive-up window, to allow a reduction 8 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 in the percent of window coverage and the omission of a pitched roof, for Riverwalk Shopping Center, subject to staff comments. Mr. Aguila seconded the motion, which carried 5-1. Vice Chairman Golden cast the dissenting vote. At this time Mr. Aguila suggested dealing wth Item 7.F.1 before Item 7.D.1, since the Parking lot variance may have some impact on the site Plan modifioation. Motion Mr. Aguila moved to amend the agenda and deal with Item 7.F.1 next. Vice Chairman Golden secOnded the motion, which carried 6-0. F. Other Parking Lot Variance Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Boynton Beach Community Development Corporation Office L. Diana Hileman, Esquire Law Office of Alien Wm. Martincavage, Sr. Boynton Beach Community Development Corporation 2191 N. Seacrest Boulevard (southwest corner of Gateway Boulevard and Seacrest Boulevard) Request for a variance from the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II, Paragraph H - Driveways, Subsection 3 to allow a reduction in distance between the driveway and the intersection of the right-of-way lines from the required thirty (30) feet to approximately five (5) feet. Mr. Lewicki used the overhead projector to point out the location. He displayed the Site plan and described the variance. He explained that this parCel was reduced when the ramp to 1-95 was built. Ms, Heyden explained that because we have reduced our parking lot variance application process to get applicants through as quickty as possible, the applicant has less time to receive comments and respond to them. Also, variances were previously required to be submitted with the site plan. This is no longer a requirement. However, if the site plan 9 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER I0, 1996 goes forward, then it is subject to whatever variances are needed to be approved. There ~s a risk with that. An applicant can go through Technical Review Committee meetings for a site plan that needs a variance and not get comments on the variance because it may not have been turned in yet. This is exactly what happened in this case. Therefore, the applicant was progressing through the process thinking that their site plan was all right even though it contained a driveway that did not meet code and needed a variance. They did not receive the comments on the problems with this variance and the recommendation until they received their package. Because of the reduced condensed timing on parking lot vanances, applicants do r~ot get their comments on parking lot variances until the package is turned out. What m~,de that situation worse was that the appl cant was inadvertently ,not notified of the: TRC n~eeting, and there are very strong comments from the. Police Departmentand the Development Department about this variance. Ms. Heyden apologized to the applicant and advised that this occurred while she was on vacation. However, she felt very confident that even if the applicant had been there, the outcome would have been the'same. Vice Chairman Golden asked if the TRC looked at the feasibility of a right turn in/right turn out d¢ivewayon Gateway in the vicinity of the west side ol the building. Mr. Haag said that area-was not discussed. He stated that there was a driveway on Seacrest Boulevard. Poin¢ing to a location heistated that in discussions with the engineer, it was felt that this wou ~1 be a better location. VicelChairman Golden asked if there is a raised median on Gateway. Mr Haag answered affirmatively, vice Chairman Golden pointed out that if there was a driveway there, it would be restricted to a right turn in/right turn out. Robert Fetrow with Gator Engineering Services, 200 Knuth Road, Boynton Beach, did not think a vanance is needed because according to the Code. if you extend the property tine along N.W. 1 st Avenue arid Gateway at the intersection, there is approx mate y 30.2 feet. Mr. Aguila stated that the ~nterpretation of the Code is that it is measured from the right-of- way Ii:ne. Mr. Fetrow advised that ;~here was also a question of topo concerning the grade in the parking lot. He pointed out that the difference is only s~x inches. In his opinion, there is no problem with the traffic flow onto Gateway Boulevard. Mr. Aguila noticed that comment 1 is merely an observation, and he did not see the need for comment 2. Ms. Heyden stated that staff feels there are other things that could be done to minimize this variance to maximize the distance by moving the driveway as far 10 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH~ FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 south as possible and reducing the width of the driveway entrance. Mr. Haag advised that we would lose some parking spaces if the driveway to the south was rearranged. However, there are excess parking spaces. Mr. Aguila did not think it can be moved enough to accomplish anything. He said you would pick up seven feet of green on the north side of the driveway, but it does not address the parking configuration. He was amenable to having more green. Vice Chairman Golden felt this recommendation was complicated and that a lot of people would violate these restrictions. Mr. Haag clarified the issue of moving the driveway. Pointing to a sketch, he pointed out the location where staff discussed moving the driveway and reducing the width to 20 feet. You would enter the site on a diagonal and lose some parking spaces in that-area; however, we might be able to accommodate them elsewhere. Mr. Aguila felt that would only make sense if the access from the site is only coming from the south. He was not sure tlnat was necessary or appropriate. With regard to Mr. Haag's comment about picking up parking spaces on the north side of the drive aisle, he said there is no room there because the property line cuts across the corner. Mr. Haag pointed out that parallel parking space dimensions can be used. Mr. Aguila did not think this was going to be a busy building and did not anticipate much traffic. Mr, Fetrow was in possession of a traffic report from the County estimating 32 trips per cay. Mr. Girtman stated that there are only going to be five visitors per day, plus two employees, and there will be quarterly board meetings in the evening at which a maximum of 10 people will attend. He said this is a very Iow impact office. Mr. Haag reviewed the rest of the commenzs. Comment 10 is really not related to the parking lot variance. It is more related to the Standard Building Code. However, these are the comments that came forward through the parking lot variance. Therefore, this comment can be negated. Mr. Fetrow agreed with Comment 9. Chairman Dubb advised the applicant that this board's decision is not final and that this request will be presented to the City Commission next week, Therefore, the applicant has a week to work out any problems with the Police Department, Development Department, and Planning and Zoning Department. Mr: Aguila felt we need to take into consideration the fact that this building ended up an unusable residence because of the widening of Gateway and the creation of the access to 1-95. Rather than tearing it down, the CDC is going to use it for a very worthwhile 11 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 purpose. With regard to what they have to work with as far as land and topography, there is not a lot they can do, and they are not going to be able to do some of these recommendations in the DOT right-of-way and on portions of Gateway. A lot of these comments are merely observations of the problems that exist with the site. Granted there are problems, but they are not going to change. The elevation is not going to change. This is not a virgin piece of land that we are going to develop. We are trying to make something out of what is not ideal to begin with. Mr. Aguila feels they have done about as good a job as they could. He felt they can eliminate one parking space, which they have already agreed to do, and lessen the driveway from 27 to 20 feet if they move the northern line towards the south. Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for a variance from the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II, Paragraph H - Driveways, Subsection 3 to allow a reduction in distance between the driveway and the intersection of the right-of- way lines from the required thirty (30) feet to approximately five (5) feet, subject to staff comment number 9 only and a reduction of the driveway from north to south from 27 feet to 20 feet. Mr. Wisch e seconded the motion. Vice Ch airman Golden stated that obviously there are some constraints. The applicant needs a variance for access to the site. He felt that the staff recommendation is cumbersome and tricky and people are going to violate some of those restrictions. It seems a more s~mple and straightforward solution that the driveway on the west side of the building allow right turn in/right turn out movements only. The motion carried 5-1. Vice Chairman Golden cast the dissenting vote. D. Site Plans Major site Plan Modification Project: Agent: Owner: Boynton Beach Community Development Corporation Office L. Diana Hileman, Esquire Law Office of Allen Wm. Martincavage, Sr. Boynton Beach Community Development Corporation 12 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Location: Description: 2191 N. Seacrest Boulevard (southwest corner of Gateway Boulevard and Seacrest Boulevard) Request for site plan approval to convert an existing 1,800 square foot single-family home to an office facility of ti~e corporation and to construct an associated parking lot with this use parking lot on .3 acre parcel. Eroyn Girtman of the Boynton Beach CDC Design and Construction Committee, advised that the CDC wants to close in the garage and use it for storage and as a hangout for the kids; however, staff said they cannot because of the setbacks. He said staff suggested putting a fence there; however he felt a fence would not look good. He stated that there is no reason to leave it open. Mr. Lewicki advised that this is a nonconforming structure, and the setback cannot be met. This problem was discussed with the City Attorney. Like any other code in the country, a nonconforming structure cannot be expanded. For this reason, the City Attorney would not allow submission of the petition. Ms. Heyden advised that this is a legal issue and the City Commission nor the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals can approve this. Staff suggested a fence because a fence has a different setback. Ms. Hileman, agent for Boynton Beach CDC, asked if something temporary could be put there. Ms. Heyden was amenable to discussing options with the applicant. Mr. Haag advised that if a fence is put there, it can only be six feet high. Art Matthews, 1262 Gondola Court, Founding President of the Boynton Beach CDC, appreciated the board working with the CDC in order to help them accomplish the goal of getting the building done. He stated that the people in the north end are very sensitive to an aesthetically pleasing structure. He could not see continuing to mess up the aesthetics of the north end with an ugly six foot fence. He had faith that we can do something to make that building more palatable and more aesthetically pleasing. Mr. Aguila felt more landscaping is needed, particularly foundation planting at the base of the building. He would like a hedge put all the way around the building, and he would like another cluster of trees on Seacrest Boulevard, along the back most east elevation. Mr. Girtman advised that Remar Harvin is in full support of this project, and whatever is needed to get this project done, he is in support of it and will get the funding for us. He commended Mr. Harvin in his development of Gateway. 13 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Chairman Dubb summarized that the applicant objects to comments 1, 2 and 10. (COmments 1 and 2 were discussed under Item 7. F.1.) Motion Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for site plan modification to convert an existing 1,800 square foot single-family home to an office facility of the corporation and to construct a parking lot associated with this use on .3 acre parcel subject to all staff comments, except comments 1 anc 2 and with provisions that they add foundation planting around the entire perimeter of the building and an additional clump of trees on Seacrest Boulevard between the right-of-way and the building. Mr. Aguila stated that the applicant and staff cae discuss the type of trees to put on Seacrest. He suggested they be consistent with what is already there. In response to a question from Ms. Heyden, Mr. Aguila said he wants the trees facing Seacrest towards the south side of the property, on the southeast corner. Mr. Eisner seconded the motion, which carried 6-0. Project: Agent: Owner: Applicant: Location: Description: Flowers Bakery Warehouse/Distribution Center - Quantum Park PID Sam EI-Kholi Spring Engineering, Inc. Quantum Associates, a Florida General Partnership First Eagle Developments, Inc. Quantum Corporate Park, Lots 47-A, 47-B and a portion of Lot 46-A Request for site plan approval to construct a 7,000 square foot, new warehouse and office facility, and associated parking on a 1.3 acre parcel in Quantum Corporate Park. Mr. Wische referred to page 10 and pointed out that there is duPlication of comments (7 and 18 are the same, 12 and 15 are the same, t 3 and 16 are the same, and 14 and 17 are the same). Richard Bekesh of Spring Engineering, Inc., the architectural/engineering firm representing Flowers and Quantum Corporate Park, said he reviewed the conditions which were faxed to him last night. This is a 22 route distribution [aCility for Flowers Baking Company. 14 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Flowers Baking Company is the largest baking company in the southeast United States. About 40,000 employees are employed by Flowers. They have three plants throughout the State of Florida; one in Miami, one in Jacksonville, and one in Bradenton. This particular distribution facility will support the plant in Miami. All the bread is baked in Miami and is run through these distribution facilities each morning at approximately 4:00 a.m. Twenty- two route drivers pick this bread up and distribute it to Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, Winn-Dixie, and Publixeach day. There are no occupants in the facility during the day. The route drivers arnve in the morning, the bread is routed to the semi through the back of the facility and distributed to the individual driver trucks. At the end of the day, the delivery drivers come back and there is a little 1,000 square foot office in the front of the facility used to reconcile their tickets for the day. There is no retail with this. With regard to comments 3 and 4, Mr. Bekesh felt it was unnecessary to eliminate the ability for Someone to make a U-turn at that particular point in the road. He also felt it was a waste of money to put a sign there, and ii would clutter the right-of-way. He felt comment 4 was unnecessary and overkill. With regard to comments 5 and 7, Mr. Bekesh advised that this particular park was approved under a deve~opment order in 1986 through Swift Mart and had certain stipulations that do not comply with the current storm water codes. Therefore, we cannot issue a letter as requested by staff. He can comply with Swift Mart and produce the Swift Mart permit and a Lake Worth Drainage permit, but he cannot produce a letter saying he ~s going to comply with the City codes. He would like to modify that comment to state provide us regulatory, approval from Swift Mart and Lake Worth and whoever else under the original development order conditions of 1986 which required each individual site to retain a half inch of stormwater. There were no attenuation volume requirements under the original development order. Mr. Wische questioned comment 14. He asked if this is City property. Mr. Bekesh believes that the road is private. He felt it is unnecessary to grant the City an easement and felt it would further encumber the property. Ms. Heyden said it is not a City easement. If the road is private, it would be dedicated to whomever owns the road. She did not know why this cOmment was made by the Development Department. Mr. Bekesh advised that comment 10 does not apply in this case, and comments 17, 18 and 19 are duplications. With regard to comment 21, he advised that the building will not be moved north, and the easement will be abandoned. He plans to return to this board to ask for approval of abandonment request No. 96-002. 15 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 With regard to comments 24 and 25, Mr. Bekesh did not understand why seven parking spaces have to be identified for visitor parking. The facility will not have visitors; therefore, there is no need for signage. It will only clutter the landscaping with signage. Vice Chairman Golden explained that if someone were to occupy the building in the future and had a different type of use, this could come ~nto play. Mr. Aguiia advised Mr. Bekesh to paint "visitor" on seven of the wheel stops. Ms. Heyden aavised him to indicate on the site plan that the seven surplus parking spaces are for visitors. With regard to comment 25, Mr. Bekesh saw no need to redo the site plan to include the net buildable area in the tabular summary. However, since it is a requirement, he wil do it. Mr. Aguila advised him that it can be handwritten. With regard to comment 29, Mr. Bekesh advised that the rooftop equipment is already indicated on the drawing. Mr. Lewicki explained that the language on the plan does not address the problem. He spoke to Mr. El-Kholi this afternoon about this, and Mr. El-Kholi ~s going to change the language as proposed by staff. With regard to comment 27, Mr. Bekesh inquired about the per~meter buffer calculation. Mr. Lewicki said he discussed this with Mr. EI-Kholi this afternoon. The easiest way for us to verify compliance with the landscape code is when you provide the length of each side of the lot and then divide by the amount of required spacing, and also indicate native species. Mr. EI-Kholi said he will provide those calculations. Mr. Aguila would like the dumpster enclosed with gates and a masonry wall, stuccoed and painted. Mr. Bekesh agreed to that. Mr. Aguila asked if the southeast corner of the property where the asphalt comes to the corner, could be radiused off slightly to keep the continuity of the green. Mr, Bekesh stated that Flowers requires 125 feet clear from the edge of the dock all the way out. Mr. Aguila would like to see the radius softened and the landscape continued. Mr. Aguila referred to the north part of the building which contains Ihe office. It is visible from High Ridge Road or Park Ridge Boulevard. The floor plan shows a space of 3 to 5 feet between the sidewalk and the building on the north side. This is not shown on the landscape plan. Mr. Aguila would like the landscape plan to reflect what the floor plan shows, and he would like foundation planting in front of the building to soften the elevation He would also like the parking spaces on the east and west sides shifted so that the outside edge of those parking spaces line up with the 27 foot drive aisle. This allows the sidewalks to be moved away from the building and for some landscaping. The dock and t6 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 the steps will have to be extended four or five feet east and west. The plantings along the building will soften the office area from public view. He presented a sketch to Mr. Bekesh. Mr. Bekesh agreed to do this. Mr. Bekesh asked for clarification about the driveway spacing variance that is pending. Mr. Lewicki explained to him that the vadance will go to the Board of Zoning Appeals next Monday at 7:00 p.m Mr. Bekesh inquired about the easement vacation hearing. Mr. Lewicki advised that iT can be soheduled for October in front of the Planning and Development Board.

Mr. Eisner seconded the motion. Mr. Bekesh inquired about comment 7. Mr. Aguila could not image that we are going to make him commit to regulations that do not apply to the code today but go with the land. He told Mr. Bekesh to do what he can. Vice Chairman Golden suggested that approval be subject to clarification by the.City Engineer that any requirements of the prior approval for Quantum Park be complied with that have not been superseded by City Codes. Mr. Aguila and Mr. Eisner agreed to incorporate this into the motion. Mr. Bekesh said the code requires attenuation volumes. The individual sites are not designed nor permitted for attenuation volumes. They were permitted for purely water quality which will discharge into the master system We cannot put our attenuation volumes on site. It will kill the amount of buiidable area. Ms. Heyden disagreed and will talk to the Director of Development about this. The motion carried 6-0. 17 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 E.

COMMENTS BY MEMBERS Mr. Aguila stated that several meetings ago, Chairman Dub6 brought up an issue about this board acting in the capacity of the Commumty Redevelopment Advisory Board. He inquired about the status of that issue. Chairman Dub~ felt there was duplication of effort. He said he brought this u p because the Community Redevelopment Advisory Board was not having meetings for awhile and they did not have anything to discuss. He said he had discussed this with Ms. Heyden, and she did not feel there would be any problem adding it to the Planning and Development Board agenda when something arises. Mayor Taylor advised that the City Commission has not yet officially discussed this issue. Mr. Aguila inquired about the status of RaceTrac. Mr. Haag advised that the berm along the west property line and the landscaping on the berm, as well as the sign and the unity of title connecting the little portion of the property that RaceTrac bought with the regular site, are the only outstanding Planning and Zoning Department issues. 18 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA SEPTEMBER 10, 1996 Mr. Wische said he rode by there on the way to this meeting, and the entire berm is taken care of. Mr. Haag said that may require the final inspection before the block on the CO is lifted and issued. Chairman Dubb advised that the Hire sign is back up and they were delivering Coke there today. Mr. Haag believes the sign on the site is a temporary sign until they finish the sign program. There is still an issue with the signage, and that will be coming to this board probably in October, They can open with the temporary signage. Mr. Eisner inquired about the mounds of dirt on Congress Avenue, just north of 30th on the west side of the street.
