Report fr~ml the Planning and Zontng Department 1. Final disposition of last month's agenda items Ms. Heyden reported on the City Commission's decisions regarding the items that were on the last two Planning and Development Board agendas. With regard to the rezoning and land use amendment request for the Woolbright Professional Center, the City Commission upheld the Planning and Development Board's decision to deny this request. The City Commission recommended that the four annexation applications (the Windward PUD, Royal ~anor Mobile ~ome Park, Carriage Gate, and Lawrence Oaks) be transferred to the Department of Community Affairs. The three preliminary plats (the Citrus Park PUD, the Vinings at Boynton Beach - Phase 1, and Nautica - Plat I~ and Plat II (Boynton Nurseries)) that were on the January 31, 1995 Planning an~ Development Board agenda have not gone to the City Commission yet. The City Engineer has determined that when all the comments are resolVed, the preliminary pl~t and the final plat w~ll be combined and taken to the cemmission. B.

She urged the members of this Board to attend. 6, OLD BUSINESS None. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. Subdivisions Haster Plan#edification Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Cedar Ridge Estates PUD Dennis Koehler Condor Investments of Palm Beach County, Inc. East side of H~gh Ridge Road, approximately 800 feet north of Miner Road Request to modify the previously approved master plan to revise density, acreage, unit type, layout, setbacks and roads -2- Hi'NUTE$ - PLANNZNG AND DEVELOPNENT BOARD #EET~NG BOYNTON BEACH, FLOI~IDA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 Ms. Heyden stated that this property, located on the east side of High Ridge Road, approximately 800 feet north of Miner Road, is 40.8 acres and was origi- nally approved with 197 dwelling units. Most of the physical improvements are in, such as the street lights and roads, but no units have yet been constructed. The changes being requested are as follows: -- The deletion of 11 single-family lots from the PUD so they can be purchased by the Lake Worth Christian School. -- The elimination of a 6' high wall along the south property line between this PUD a~dthe High Ridge Commerce Park PID to the south. -- Changing of the internal road system from public to private. -- An increase in the height of the 34 single-family lots from 251 to 35'. -- Due to the change from multi-family to townhouses, setbacks need to be established for each townhouse lot. A change in the multi-family unit portion of the project from 152 rental apartments to 110 fee simple townhouses. The lot size proposed is 24' wide by gB' long. The mixture of recreation is changing. Based on close coordination with the Recreation Department, a meeting hall, swimming pool, jogging trail, children's play area, and turf play area are now being proposed. These five items have been reviewed for location, size and content, and have been determined to qualify for a private recreation credit. The last change is the required buffer area along the south property line, installation of a limited access easement along the east property line, and lake plantings around the watermanagement tract. Ms. Heyden advised that this property was annexed in October of 1982. The final plat was approved in 1983. Based on the plat, funds were collected and a lot of infrastructure was installed. But then construction ceased and the property was taken over by the FDIC. Condor Investments has owned this property since 1993. Ms. Heyden stated that staff recommended 50 percent credit for the private recreation facilities. They attempted to reach a compromise regarding the amount of payment, form of payment, and time of payment for the remaining 50 percent due. She explained that the property was platted over ten years ago without all the required improvements being constructed. Bonds were posted, but have expired, and the bond company is no longer in existence. Therefore, staff's recommendation with regard to the recreation issue is unique and speci- fic to this project. She stated that at the time of filing the 1983 plat, a bond {not cash} was collected for 110 percent of the recreation fees, less 50 percent credit for private recreation. Although this is allowed by Code, this is not the option that staff chooses today. However, staff recommends the same kind of treatment that was allowed in 1983. -3- HINUTE$ - PLANNING AND DEVELOPNENT BOARD #EETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 Ms. Heyden stated that no other approvals are required prior to the applicant applying for a building permit for the single-family homes. However, based on the type of units now proposed, the multi-family bortion will need to be replatted, In addition, at the time of platting, the land value was set at around $25,0D0.00, which no longer reflects the current market value. Therefore, this issue also needs to be addressed. Ms. Heyden advised that at their February 7, 1995 meeting, the City Commission determined that the changes were not substantial in nature, and eliminated the following staff comments: Comment 3,,A of Recreation and Park Memorandum #95-048 (payment of fees in lieu of dedication}. The City Commission agreed to allow the applicant to pay the recreation fee on a pro rata basis at the time of permitting the 34 single-family homes. However, if permits have not been pulled for the entire 34 Units within 18 months, the entire balance has to be paid. Comment 3,B of Recreation and Park Memorandum #9§~048 (replatting the townhouse sector) was clarified. The balance has to be paid prior to the final plat. -- Comments 8, 13 and 16 of the Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum dated February 2, 1995: Ms. Heyden said she requested that the City Commission delete Comment 16 regarding the additional requirements prior to permitting the single-family units. This will be coordinated separately from this request. Comment 13 dealt with verification of the purchase price. Staff and the City Commission accepted the land value of $30,380.67. Comment 8 dealt with the T-turn arounds versus providing cul-de-sacs. The Commission felt the T-turn around was acceptable since there are a limited number of units on one of the streets between Building 2 and Building 3. Staff recommended that this request be approved, subject to staff comments, with the exception of comments 8, 13, and 16 of the Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum dated February 2, 1995, and the revisions regarding comments 3.A and 3.B of Recreation and Park Memorandum #95-048. In response to Vice Chairman DubS, Ms. Heyden advised that everything was agreed to at the City Commission meeting. There have been no changes since the City Commission meeting. Mr. Golden asked if there was any discussion at the TRB meeting about the buffer walt along the south property boundary. He knows the devel~oper of the industriall property is going to provide a wall when that property is developed. However, he was concerned about the wall not being uniform. Ms. HeYden stated that this was not discussed at the TRB meeting. However, it was discussed at -4- #~NUTE$ - PLANNZNG AND DEVELOPI4ENT BOARD #EET]'NG BOYNTON BEACH, FLORZDA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 the City Commission meeting. She advised that staff is not in favor of building buffer walls on a lot by lot basis. However, the City Commission has previously taken the position that buffer wails invite graffiti, Also, they have expressed concern about maintenance of buffer walls. Therefore, they would prefer vegeta- tion rather than buffer walls, which is what this applicant is providing. However, when the industrial property is developed, the developer will have to build a wall, Mr. Golden expressed concern about the industrial lots maintaining the same desSgn. Ms. Heyden explained that staff will probably do what they have been trying to do with Quantum Park. About two ye, a~s ago, it was decided to allow them to construct their buffer wall on,a lot by lot basis. Staff has been trying to get them a mOdet drawing of what the landscap~ing and buffer wall should look like. Mr. Koehler, the attorney for the applicant, introduced his client, Joe Basite, Or., and a representative of Land Design South, the company that did the site plan. He displayed a co]or rendering of the master plan, and distributed some graphics to the Board members. Mr. Koehler stated that Mr. Basile had contracted to purchase all but the easternmost eleven lots of th~ single-family portion of the PUD. The Lake Worth Christian School has plans to put in ball fields and active recreation facilit'ies on those eleven lots, and have initiated the City's zoning review process. Ultimately, those 10ts will have to be deleted from the old plat and rezoned. Mr. Koehler pointed out that the original approval was for 197 units, 154 of whichwere condo type units. The number of units has been drastically reduced to 1~0 fee simple townhouse units. He also pointed out that the previous developer installed the utilities, water and sewer, and drainage, and platted the Single-family portion and that Mr. Basile has had to work under these limi- tations and constraints. Mr. Koehler advised that at the February 7, 1995 City Commission meeting, the applicant and the City Commission reached an agreement on every issue, and all of the conditions were completely acceptable to the applicant. With regard to the 50 percent credit for the different mix of recreational amenities provided, Mr. Koehler said City staff insisted that the applicant provide some sort of community meeting facility, which the applicant had not planned for. The applicant had planned a roadway connecting the main entrance (Cedar Ridge Road) with the middle of the townhouse portion of the project. However, the applicant agreed to install a community pool and recreation meeting area wSth appropriate parking instead of putting in the roadway. The applicant reori'ented the streets to satisfy staff in order to qualify for the 50 percent recreation credit. Mr. Koehler advised that the 34 single-family homes, which will have basements and garages, will range from $90,000.00 and $120,000.00. The price of the 110 -5- N~NUTES - PLANNING AND DEVELOPNENT BOARD NEET)NG BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 tow~heuse units wil1 range from $70,000.00 to $95,000.00. Young professionals ano young families with children are being targeted, With regard to the landscape plan, Chairman Lehnertz requested that a noncypress mulch be used. Mr. Basile stated that there is an abundance of Australian Pines where the townhouses will be located. He has made arrangements to chip the Australian Pines and utilize them as mulch. At this point in the meeting, Mr. Rosenstock arrived at 7:38 P. M. Notion Vice Chairman Dub8 moved to approve the request to modify the previously approved master plan of Cedar Ridge Estates PUD to revise the density, acreage, unit type, layout, setbacks and roads, subject to all staff and City Con~nission comments. Mr. Golden seconded the motion, which carried 7-0. B. Site Plans New Site Plans 1. project Name: Whlpowill Ams Owner: Burton Metsch LocatiOn: Between F.E.C. Railroad and S. E. 4th Street, approximately 100 feet north of S. E. 5th Avenue Description: Request for site plan approval to construct a 20,738 square foot, two-story, 39 motel apartment building with associated parking and landscaping Using the overhead projector, Mr. Haag poi~nted out the location of this project. The land use plan designation is LoCal Retail and the zoning district is C-3. The square footage of the property is just over an acre. The building would be 10,396 square feet. The surrounding land uses and zoning districts are as follows: North and south - single-family houses, zoned C-3 East - S. E. 4th Street and farther east is vacant land, zoned C-3 West - F. E. C. Railroad and farther west is residential property, zoned R-lA There are two existing buildings on the site. The rest of the site is vacant. The proposed development involvess ~aking down the two existing buildings and putting up the structures shown on the site Plan. With regard to the concurrency issues, the applicant did not turn in the traffic report in a timely manner. At the request of Palm Beach County, the City sent the traffic report to them for review, However, their comments have not yet been received, Staff recommended approval of this project, subject to any -6- H~NUTE$ - PLANNZNG AND DEVELOP#ENT BOARD NEETZNG BOYNTON BEACH, FLORZDA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 comments from Palm Beach County and the City Engineer after review of the traf- fic study. The site will meet requirements for drainage. The dumpster enclosure is in the back corner, the west property line. The building and site in compliance with the Code. There are ample parking spaces. A privacy wall is located along regulations of the C-3 zoning are Another outstanding issue was the Community Design Plan. {A colored elevation was displayed on the easel.} The applicant does not comply with the Coastal Village Design, District in which th~ slate is located~ and would like this proj- ect approved without going through the appeal process. No signage has been submitted with the application. If the applicant wants signage, he would have to return tO the P~anning and Development Board and the City Commission. In response to Mr. Rosenstock, Ms. Heyden stated that at the City Commission's request, she made changes to the Community Design Plan, These changes delete the districts. Therefore, this request is in line with the Commission's desire. In addition, the site plan ordinance requires that once a plan is amended, it has to be forwarded to the Planning and Development Board, regardless of whether or not it meets the standards presently set in the Code, Staff does not have the ability to hold it up. Mr. Golden asked if the applicant has indicated anything as far as how he intends to procee~ with the elevations and consistency with the Coastal Village Design District. Mr. Haag said he stated in his staff comments that the appli- cant has to provide all of the elements that are in the Community Design Plan. He did not know how the applicant plans to do that. Even though it meets the Code, Vice Chairman Dub~ felt the dumpster enclosure is not large enough to hold a recycling dumpster. Mr. Metsch said he agreed with the Utflity Depa'rtment that th~ durnpster needs to be relocated to a more easterly direction so the ~anitation truck can enter in a perpendicular direc- tion. !He said there wi'll be plenty of space to put in a recycling dumpster when it is relocated. With regard to having to provide the el:ements of the Coastal Village Design Distric!t~ Mr. Metsch stated that the only coast he is really near is the Florida East Co~st~RailrOad. He did not seewhere the Coastal Design fits in this par- ticular~ neighborhood. However, if he is forced to do it, he might ask for a variance, !He did not think vinyl siding Would make the maintenance of the bUildings any easier. He Said~isonite is not a suitable material in South Florida,. ¥inyl siding Wil!l prObalblY be dented and damaged, and natural wood would necessitate high maintenance. Mr. Rosenstock expressed inte~rest in the way the City looks. He would like to see so~ SPecificiJty with regard to what thiS is going to look like before he votes on it. 7 H~NUTES - PLANNTNG AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD NEETZNG BOYNTON BEACH,, FLOR)DA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 Hr. Netsch said the building is stucco, in conformity with all the other recently constructed buildings in. the area. He asked for en approval, subject to resolving all issues prior to permitting. Ns. Frazier asked if any studies on the need for mote] apartments have been done. She also asked if any of the motel apartments have been built yet. Hr. Netsch felt developing this property with stores would be a complete disaster. He felt it would be more profitable developed as close as possible to a residential use. None Of ~he aparbnents have bee~ built yet. Ns. Frazier asked about the cost of the units. Nr, Netsch advised that they will be priced efficiently; however, he has to find out what the financing and construction costs are going to be before pricing the units. Vice Chairman Dub8 said he noticed that a11 the proPerty surrounding this par- ticular property is for.sale, Hr. fletsch said they are not going to sell anything new. They are a.1] waiting to see what happens to his property before they decide how much to sell their property for. In response to Mr. Weigle, Ms. Heyden said the City Commission directed staff to work on abolishing the Co.unity Design Plan Districts and come up with a new Community Design Plan Ordinance. Therefore, she drafted a new Community Design Plan geared more towards ensuring harmonywith buildings, compatibility and asethetic appearance. She pre~ented it: to the Commission and they requested that it be put into ordinance form. She confirmed for Mr. Weigle that the old Community Design Plan is still in effect at this time. Ms. Heyden confirmed for Chairman Lehnertz that if the City Commission approves this s~te plan, subject to all staffcomments, the applicant would be required to conform to the Community Design Plan. Chairman Lehnertz agreed with Vice Chairman Dub8 that the dumpster area should be large enough for a recycling bi~, as well as the regular dumpstero Notion Mr. Golden moved to recommend approval of the site plan for Whipowill Arms to construct a 20,738 square foot, two-story, 39 motel apartment building with associated parking and landscaping, subject to staff comments, including a wide dumpster enclosure to accommodate the recycling bin. Vice Chairman Dub8 seconded the motion, which carried 6-0. NaJor Site Plan Nodlflcatlon Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Brtsson Nedlcal Office Building Thomas J. Twomey, P. E.

It is located just west of the railroad tracks on the south side of Golf Road. Mr. Haag reviewed Planning and Zoning~Department Memorandum, No. 95-030. The land use designation is General C~rci~t. The Zoning district is Neighborhood Commercial. The proposed use is M~,dical Office Building~ The site is approxi- mately a half acre. The existing building is abou~ 6,000 square feet, The surrounding land uses and zoning districts are as follows: North - S. E. 23rd Avenue and farther north are commercial buildings, zoned C-2. A Circle K and a medical office building are located there. East - S. E. 2nd Street,and ~ar~her east is the F.E.C. Railroad South - S. E. 24th Avenue and farther south are duplex residences, zoned R-2 West - A single-family residence, zoned C-1, is on the north one- half {1/2) of the adjacent property,. The south one-half {1/2) is a duplex building, zoned R-1AA. The entire property is underdeveloped and does not meet current Codes. There is a vacant building on the pro,petty, The proposed change would require the entire project to be brought to ~ur~ent Codes {the parking l:otand Community Design Standards). The proposed project is a tess i~n~e~se use. Therefore, there is no impact on traffic. Yhe drainage on the Site W~ll meet current Code require- ments. Using the overhead projector, Mr. Haag pointed out the existing building, the driveway entrance off of 2nd Street, the parking facility {located in the back}, the area where the existing d~ptex is locatea, which is residentially zoned, and the C-1 zoning with the single-femily occupied house. This property is located in the Multiple District (Mediterranean/Spanish or Modern Design District). The applicant has chosen the Modern Design for the building. The colors he chose meet the requirements of the Modern District. The building does not meet the front and side setbacks, but is grandfathered. As long as the applicant does not add anything to the exterior walls to make it more nonconforming, it can remain as is. The Planning and Zoning Department recommended approval, subject to staff com- ments. T~e applicant is asking for a couple of variances, which will be heard by the Board of Adjustment next week. Since this is a residential zoning district, a block wall is required. The applicant is requesting an appeal to remove the block wall and have landscaping. In addition, the building size and use requires thirty parking spaces. The applicant's design will only accom- modate twenty-six spaces. Therefore, he is asking for a reduction in the number of parking spaces, -g- #TNUTE$ - PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD #EET~NG BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 There is a requirement for a 5' landscape strip where the vehicle use area abuts a street. The way the applicant has designed it, it encroaches in two areas. Therefore, he is asking for relief of about 18" in those areas. Staff recommended approval, subject to the outcome of the variances and the landscape appeal. Vice Chairman Dub~ pointed out a discrepancy. The site plan shows the entrance on the north side of the building, and the elevation shows the entrance on the south side. In addition, he expressed concern about there only bei,ng one exit to get out of the building. Mr. Haag stated that the applicant does not have any tenants yet. Ne is designing the exterior of the building and is aware that he wilt need two exits in the building and that each tenant space will have to have additional exits. If the applicant has to make any substantial modifica- tions to the exterior elevation, he may have to come back to this Board. Vice Chairman Dub~ stated that there is not enough parking and there is no dompsteK. M~, Haag stated that the Public Works Director said they would have can pickup for this location. Mr. Brisson stated that he recently purchased this property, which is presently in g~reat disrepair. He stated that his project will be an improvement to the area. Mr. Rosentstock felt it would be a great improvement to the area; however, he was concerned about the cars coming in and out of the project. Mr. Brisson asked him if that is a heavily traveled area. Mr. Rosenstock said it is not a heavily traveled area, but he has seen some close calls in that area. Mr. Brisson hoped the people leaving the doctor's office would take caution like they would anywhere else. Mr, Rosenstock asked him if he could acquire any more property in that area. Mr. Brisson advised him that there is no property available in that area. Mr. Brisson stated that the entrance is in the back because the parking is in the back. There is no parking in the front of the building. Therefore, there is not supposed to be an entrance there. Mr. Rosenstock asked how many doctor's offices will be in the building. Mr. Brisson said he would like to get one single use tenant, but he could have two. Mr. Golden felt the project will definitely be an improvement to the site. However, he was concerned about the intensity of this use for the site and the parking lot. He stated that medical office buildings could get very busy. He expressed concern with the design, layout and the circulation in the parking lot. Although the parking lot meets the Code, he wondered if it will function properly. He pointed out that if the parking lot is full, in order to get out of the three parking spaces at the southern end and the southwest parking space, you would have to back all the way into the parking lot and then out into the street. - 10 - N]NUTE$ - PLANNING AND DEVELOPNENT BORRD NEETZNG BOYNTON BEACH, FLOR]DA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 Thomas Twomey stated that he tried to out in two driveways, but it does not meet the Code, and it would be too close to' the corner. Mr. Golden stated that this is a very small, nonconforming lot and there are a tot of constraints to work with. However, he did not feel the proposed design will work. Mr. We igle felt this project would be a great improvement to the neighborhood. He felt the engineer and owner worked very hard, considering the contraints, to get a very nice building, He did not know how else this site could be devel- oped. He pointed out that the entire area is becoming medical and is very conducive and very close to Bethesda Hospital. He supported this project 100 percent, and suggested the applicant work with staff on the parking issue. Mr. Golden felt there were some options to make the parking lot flow better, at the expense of some parking spaces. In response to Mr. Golden, Mr. Haag stated that this is a C-2 zoning district. Therefore, a buffer wall is required. Mr. Golden asked if the construction of a buffer wall would create any problems with landscaping or utilities, Mr. Haag advised that there is a utility easement, but the Utility Department has not said anything about it. Usually, there is relief given through a Hold Harmless Agreement since it is gO~ng perpendicular tO the wall. The applicant is asking for a variance with regard to the buffer wall, as well as a reduction of parking spaces. Mr. Golden stated that there may be an opportunity to cut a one-way driveway in the southeast corner where the retention area is. However, that would take away from the retention area. He also suggested putting in an egress drive just south of the southeast parking space. Mr. Twomeywas agreeable with this suggestion. Mr. Weigle asked if it would an egress drive being put in. would be acceptable. be acceptable to approve the site plan, subject to Attorney Rubin and Ms. Heyden indicated this Mr. Golden asked Mr. Twomey if he feels comfortable that he has a sufficient area for retention. Mr. Twomey answered affirmatively and stated that if it is not sufficient, the applicant will satisfy the requirements for retention. Mr. Golden asked if staff has any concerns with this. Mr. Haag did not see any problems. Another option that Mr. Golden suggested was switching the parking space and the driveway. Chairman Lehnertz felt the whole site should be redesigned. He expressed con- cern about not having enough parking spaces and taking out a big chunk of the retention area, However, he realized that the applicant is working under the contraints of the original building. - 11- HINUTE$ - PLAHNING AHD DEVELOPHENT BOARD HEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 14, 1995 Motion Mr. Golden moved to recommend approval of the site plan for the Brisson Medical Office Building to convert an existing, unoccupied bar/restaurant to a medical office building and upgrade building and site improvements, subject to staff comments, subject to the addition of a one way, 12' foot wide egress drive in the vicinity of the southeast parking space, subject to not deleting any more parking spaces, subject to all drainage requirements being worked out, and sub- ject to all other Code requirements being met prior to issuance of a permit.
