Public Hearing Abandonment Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: N. W. 1st Avenue (For Holiday Inn/Charles Leemon) Larry Cuddy, Holiday Inn City of Boynton Beach N. W. 1st Avenue, between N. W. 4th Street and Interstate 95 Request for the abandonment of a por- tion of a 50 foot wide local street. MS. Heyden distributed a survey sketch of the proposed resub of Lots 1 through 7, Block 72, Beverly Hills Add. No. 3 which she received from the applicant. She advised that Charles Leemon, the applicant, is requesting abandonment of that portion of N. W. ist Avenue, a 50 foot wide local right-of-way. That sec- tion is between I95 and N. W. 4th Street. Mr. Leemon is the property owner of the lots to the north, Lots 31 through 36, which are part of the Holiday Inn site. He also owns a couple of lots to the south of the abandonment, Lots 5, 6, and a portion of Lot 7. Lots t through 4 are owned by Mr. Leemon's fathe=. Mr. Leemon's purpose in submitting this request is to provide additional land for reconfiguration of the lots to the south which are currently oriented in a north/south direction. With - 2 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 the additional land, they would be able to be layed out in an east/west direction in order to meet code. They are currently nonconforming, The land could then be develope~ according to the City's zoning code. In addition, with the northern half of the abandoned right-of-way, this land could becombined with the Holiday Inn site. The Holiday Inn site has intentions of placing a railroad car next to the pool; however, they need additional land to meet the rear setback. Staff recommended approval of this request subject to the following three conditions: (1) Rededi~ation of the 50 foot right-of-way to a 50 foot wide easement to cover the existing utilities; (2) Replatting or lieu of platting submitting a certified survey reflecting the new lot layout and legal documen- tation that would be acceptable to the City Attorney, which would secure the n~essary utility easement and properly convey the reconfig~red lots and the right-of- way acquisition; and (3) A sidewalk be constructed adjacent to the existing sidewalk on N, W. 4th Street to extend the existing sidewalk on N. W. 1st Avenue. These conditions will need to be satisfied prior to the adoption of the Resolution by the City Commission. Mr. Collins noted that Southern Bell objected to the proposed abandonment. Ms. Heyden said FPL had similar concerns; however, those concerns are covered by the above conditions. Mr. Collins asked if the applicant was aware of the conditions. Ms. Heyden answered in the affirmative. Mr. Miller asked if the handout was the proposed replatting. Ms. Heyden referred to condition number 2 and said there are a number of things that have to occur at the same time so that the City can be assured that the rear two lots, Lots 5, 6 and a por- tion of Lot 7, which are owned by a different property owner than Lots 1 through ¢, would not be landlocked. There a number of steps that have to occur in order for abandonment to be approved. The handout might satisfy part of condition number 2. Mr. Miller inquired about the proposed locafiion of the railroad car. Ms. Heyden advised that would most likely require a minor site plan modification which can be handled administratively. Ms. Stevens asked if the zoning on the reconfigurated lots will remain residential. Ms. Heyden answered in the affirmative. Ms. Stevens stated that depending on where the railroad car is MINUTES - PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 sited, it might have an adverse impact on those homes next to it if it is going to be noisy, open late at night, and have bright lights shining. Charles Leemon, the applicant, said he would like to place a Pullman railroad car on the Holiday Inn site at the back end of the s~imming pool and uss it as a refreshment and ensertainment center. Ms. Stevens asked if the railroad car was going to be used as a motel. Mr. Leemon said the railroad car will serve as an enter- tainment center and refreshment area for the pool. It would only be able to seat t0 or 15 people at any one time and will not be open past 9:00 P. M. It would be fully enclosed and air con- ditioned. There would not be live entertainment. vice Chairperson Huckle referred to the memo from the Planning Department and said it led her to believe that the abandonment request was to be split between the northern half and the soushern half. However, the applicant plans to get two-thirds. Theref~re, there is a discrepancy. Ms~ Heyden said the lots To the so~th are zoned residential and the lots to the north are zoned commercial. The zoning code assumes that when you have a situation like this, the zoning boundary runs down the middle of the right-of-way. Whether or not, with the abandonment of the right-6f-way, that zoning line could shift to accommodate a 3 foot v~rsus 47 foot separation ~hsr than half and half, needs to be addressed by the Legal Department. Mr. Leemon said his father needs the extra three feet in order to meeL the width requirements for two buildabte lots. Attorney Cherof said it really does not make much of a difference because %he effect of the abandonment is to split the property down the center line anyway by some subsequent conveyance that two prop- er~y owners wish to adjust the p~operty ownership. In any com- bination or any distance, they can do that subsesquent to the abandonment; however, the legal effect of the abandonment is down the center line. vice Chairperson Huckle asked if Holiday Inn presently owns the northern half of the abandonment. Attorney Cherof answered in the negative. Mr. Leemon believed Holiday Inn owns to the center of the street; that it is a street right-of-way and if it is ever abandoned it goes back to the property owner. Attorney Cherof said that is correct once it is abandoned. Mr. Collins asked Mr. Leemon if he was in agreement with all of staff's conditions. Mr. Leemen answered in the affirmative. MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 MS. Stevens asked if the neighbors were notified of this pro- posal. Ms. Heyden advised that the abutting property owners were notified. No one wishing to speak against or in favor of this request, Chairman Lehnertz closed the public hearing. Ms. Stevens expressed concern for the nearby residences. Mr. Fleming pointed out that the property being affected is the applicant's property. by this Chairman Lehnertz asked if the ordinances will ensure that a wall bebui!t and landscaping provided in the abandoned right-of-way to buffer the house diagonally across the street at the northeast corner and any houses 1~i1% on proposed Lots A and B at the time the si~e plan modification for the hotel i! applied for. MS. Heyde~ could not answer the question without knowing what the site plan looks like. Mr. Collins moved to approve the request for the abandonment of a portion of a 50 foot w3~% local street located at N. W. 1st Avenue between N. ~. 4th ~treet a~ld Interstate 95, subject to all staff comments. Vice ~hairperson Huckte seconded the motion which carried unanimously. Parkin~ Lot Variance Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Boynton Motel Craig Livingston, Architect Angelo Mascia 623 South Federal Highway Request no allow a driveway access U. S. Highway #1 about one hundred sixty-two (162) feet south of the intersection of S. E. 5th Avenue and U. S. Highway ~1, and to allow the driveway to be the second driveway onto U. S. Highway 91 from the sub- ject property. to Mr. Hang advised that the Boynton Motel previously received an administrative site plan conditioned upon closing the north ingress off of Federal Highway. He referred to the site plan on the overhead projector. The applicant agreed to close the north ingress but has since changed his mind. He would like the drive- way to remain in place and have it a one-way entrance into the property. The variance is required because it is closer than 180 feet to the nearest intersection. - 5 MINUTES - PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH. FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 Mr. Livingston advised that the majority of the people enter the motel off of Federal Highway. It is easier and safer for them to turn on Federal Hi§hway into the site as opposed to using the southern entrance. The owners of Benson's Restaurant and the Police Department indicated there have never been any traffic problems or accidents. Mr. Livingston felt eliminating the driveway as an entrance off of Federal Highway would create a hazard because there is no stacking lane and one would have to slow down to negotiate the 90 degree turn into tke site. He requested the driveway remain in place as an entrance only onto Federal Highway. Chairman Le,~hnertz asked if Mr. Livingston has any problems with the condition that staff recommended. Mr. Livingston answered in the negative. No one wishing to speak against or in favor of this request, Chairman Lehnertz closed the public hearing° Vice C~ai~erson Huckle moved to approve the request of the Boy,ton M~tet~to allow a driveway access from U. S. Highway #1 about onehundred sixty-two (162) feet south of the intersection of S. E 5th Avenue and U. S. Highway #1, and to allow the drive- way to be the second driveway onto U. S. Highway 91 from the sub- ject proper%y, subject to staff comments. Mr. Fleming seconded the motion which carried unanimously. B.

Kitday & Associates, Landscape Architects/Planners Bill Winchester Southwest corner of Knuth Road and Boyn~on Beach Boulevard intersection Request to delete the 6,068 sq. ft. restaurant located at the northeast corner of the site and add in its place a 2,000 sq. ft. service station/convenience store with a 512 sq. ft. detached car wash. A drive- way has been added to Boynton Beach Boulevard to provide direct access to the service station. The bank will be reduced from 5,400 sq. ft. to 4,500 sq. ft. The area of the retail stores has been adjusted to maintain the original approved t20,000 sq. ft. for the entire site. - 6 - *..otO allow the driveway to be the second driveway from US 1 onto the subject property. MINUTES - PLANNING ~ DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEAC~, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 Mr. Haag showed two overlays for the project on the overhead pro- j ector. One was the proposed master plan modification and the other was the new ingress/egress off of Boynton Beach Boulevard. He advised that this project is located at the southwest corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Knuth Road. He referred to the exhibits attached to the backup material. Page 22 is the pro- posed master plan modification and page 23 is the existing, The changes were outlined in the staff report. Mr. Haag advised that the applicant has replaced the restaurant on the northwest corner of the PCD with aservice station/car wash/convenience store. They have also added an ingress/egress into the site. They reduced the size Of the bank directly west from 5,400 to 4,500 sq. ft. The rest of the retail a~ea~ was distributed, making the total equal exactly wha~ was approved, namely 120,000 sq. f~.

Ms. Stevens asked what l~el of s~rvice this increase of 380 trips will mea~o/%that area of Boynton Beach Boulevard. Mr. Haag did not know. Ms. Stevens said a new ordinance was previously past allowing six a ' sites to ha~e gas stations. She asked if this g s station was one Of th~s~ s~x or in addition to the six. Mr, Eaag advised that this ~s ~et one of those sites. This one entered into the site plan r~view Process prior to the new ordinance going in place. Ms. Stevens inquired about the location of the closest gas sta- tions to this site, It was determined that the closest gas sta- tions are the three gas stations at the intersection of Congress Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard. Vice Chairperson Huckle asked when this parcel was annexed into the City. Ms. Eeyden believed it was annexed in December of 1990. Vice Chairperson Huckle could not believe that the water usage would be less for a car wash than a restaurant. ~r. Haag noticed that the site plan did not indicate that the car wash would have recycled water and referred that question to the applicant. Vice Chairperson ~uckle asked if the applicant showed resistance or agreement to the right turn traffic lane traveling east. Mr. Eaag advised that ~he applicant has dedicated land for that area. MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 Regarding the new access location and turn lane, it seemed to Mr. Miller too short a distance to fit the turn lane, the taper, and all the regulated pavement. It seems like it would create a weaving movement of traffic. Mr. Haag advised that the lot along Boynton Beach Boulevard is 175 feet. The landscape buffer at the northwest corner is 25 feet. The ingress/egress is 35 feet. The length of the turn lanes is 200 feet plus a 180 foot taper. Mr. Miller asked if the turn lane would cross through the access. Mr. Haag answered in the affirmative. Mr. Miller pointed out that there was a 180 foot requirement on the last appllica~ion. He asked if that requirement also applies to this application. Mr. Haag answered in thenegative, s~ying this is U~der the gas station ordinance. In the zoning code there is a Separate section for gas stations. Mr. Collins asked why another gas station is being considered if there is an o~dinanc~ allowing only six. Mr. Haag advised that the application was submitted Under the old ordinance aad meets the reqUir~ents of the old Code for gas stations. Chairman Lehnertz asked if the old ordinance specified a 1,000 foot distance and if this is greater than 1,00~ feet from the station on Congress Avenue. Mr. Haag answered in the affir- mative. Kiernan Kilday; Rick Rossi, the Design Engineer of the project; Architect Kirk Stetson; and Mr. Winchester, owner of the prop- erty, were present. Mr. Kilday displayed the plan that went through the approval process. The annexation was submitted in December of 1990; however, final annexation occurred during the summer of 1991. The proposed changes indicated are primarily to allow foD the service station to be located on the site. The original submittal anticipated a restaurant on that property. The chan§e was made to allow for circulation that is required. The bank site was adjusted. Simmons ~ White, Engineers, con- tacted the Coun=y Engineer prior to writing the report and sub- sequently believe everything is in order. The general rule is that any change that results in less than 500 trips is an accep- table c~ange, with regard to level of service, on Boynton Beach Boulevard, the current capacity as a six lane road is 46,300 trips per day. It is currently measured at 33,252 trips. One hUndred and twenty-five trips would be added in front of the property and 203 trips would be added on Boynton Beach Boulevard. Approximately 7,000 trips are required to be added. The net result, with this project, would be 40,000 trips and the capacity Cf the road is 46,000 trips. Mr. Kilday advised that there is a settlement that will allow another station to be built at the emtrance, to Winchester ~ark Boulevard and Boynton Beach Boulevard. To the w~st of us there are no service stations until MINUTES - PLANNING D~ND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 you reach Military Trail. There are two service stations at Military Trail. Neither one of them are at the corner. They are both located toward the 01d Boynton Road intersection. The water will be recycled. He was agreeable with the right turn lane. The right turn into the project is 150 feet from the intersec- tion. DOT has granted conceptual approval for both turns and the access. Both access points will always be right turn only. There will be no median cuts for either use. The northerly access point will be oriented with the first driveway to the parking area for the office building. ~rr. Kilday advised of a meeting with the residents of Banyan ee~ a~ Stonehaven PUD last night. He said at the time the original, apt0rovalS were receive~, there were agreements between the ~°Per~0Wner and Mr. ~inchester regardingwalls and security~gates a~d f_hose agreer0~gn~s are ~till ~n force. There w~llbe a another me~ting~ wi~h the residents next Tuesday night. Ra~gard~ing the traffic, Mr: ~<ilday under~tood and accepted that y~ ~prQva~ wc~/~d t~e b~jectl to receiving approval f~om the Count~ Engineer. ~S. Huckle inquired about proposed tenants. Mr. Kilday said he does not have a: hank tenant. Negotiations are underway with two nati0nal brand 'gas serviue stations. He was not at liberty to say who they ar~; only t~ta% it is not an AMOCO ,station. One of Mr. xilday's concerns is that what is done on the corner does not a~erse~y affect the surrounding proper%les and the balance of ~he ~ent'er. Therefore, Kirk Stetson, architect for Kilday & ASSOCi:ates, will design the service station. The ser- vicelstatic~,~ us.e~s ~ill be required to accept ~he architectural gUidelines ~ha~: Kilday &i Associates set up, which are going to be the gUidel~es that w~lL applY to the bank and to the balance of the center ~o ths~t the architectural unity of ~he overall center will be co~rol~ed by Kilday & Associates.

She was also concerned about the the service station will be operating. Chairman entrances on Knuth Road were necessary to traffic on I95. Ruth Meyerson o~ 1744 Banyan Creek Court, President of Stonehaven Homeowners ~ss0~iation, said there has not been enough time to MINUTES - PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD ~EETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 discuss this proposal with the community at large. Another meetin§ with Mr. Kilday is scheduled for next week and sub- sequently a homeowners' meeting will be called to apprise everyone prior to the City Commission meeting of the proposed plan. Ms. Stevens suggested notifying the homeowners' association when this matter is slated to go before the City Commission. Mr. ~Iaag advised that it is scheduled to go before the City Commission on June 2, 1992 if it meets favorably with this Board. With regard to the hours of operation of the service station, Mr. Kitday did not believe there is any restriction in the PCD. He said the normal business hours of the sh~pping center will be 10:00 A~ M. until 9:00 P. M. H~rwever, servic~ S~ations tradi- tionally want the ability to be opea the hours they feel they coul~ do business. Vice Chairperson Huckte asked what the date of the original PCD was. Mr. Kitday advised is was December of 1990. Ms. Stevens asked if safeguards are taken when the gas tanks are installed in the ground. Mr. Ki!day was not aware of any moni- toring required by the State on this site. The only requirement he was aware of was double wall tanks. Vice Chairperson Huckle asked if the applicant has to pass an environmental review for installation of gas tanks. Mr. Kilday advised that the tanks have to be installed accordin§ to the new State requirements. Chairman Lehnertz said the Department of Environmental Regulation handles that. Mr. Haag said the permit plans would have to be stamped by the Department of Environmental Regulation before being accepted for permit review. It also wen~ through ~he City environmental review process as well. Mr. Collins moved to approve the request to delete the 6,068 sq. ft. restaurant located at the northeast corner of the site and add in its place a 2,000 sq. ft. service station/convenience store with a 512 sq. ft. detached car wash. A driveway has been added to Boynton Beach Boulevard to provide direct access to the service s~ation. The bank will be reduced from 5,400 sq. ft. to 4,500 sq. ft. The area of the re%ail stores has been adjusted to maintain the original approved 120,000 sq. ft. for the entire site, located at the southwest corner of Knuth Read a~d Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection, subject to all staff comments.

Mike Kazunas, City Engineer, stated that this preliminary plat was presented with a site plan for the K~uth Road service sta- tion. If this is approved, it would be conditioned upon the approved site plan. Several technical comments were made by the Engineering Department and the Planning and Zoning Department requiring certain notes to be added to the plat per ordinance. The plat contains the dedications of right-of-way required by Palm Beach County along BoyntonBeach Boutevard~nd ~nuth ~o~d.

Ms. Heyden distributed photographs of the architecture of the adjacent property. Thzs project was submitted while the new service stasion regulations were being reviewed. When it came in it was being reviewed under the old service station regulations. It meets the old service station regulations in terms of site size, landscaping, buffering, gasoline pump setbacks, driveway width and distances, and car wash stacking. There are a number of ways it does not mee~ the new service station re~nlations. There are two access points, one off of Knuth Road through the shopping center, and a new entrance is being proposed off of Boynton Beach Boulevard. There is also an interior entrance to 11 MINUTES - PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACt{, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 encourage cross access within the PCD itself. This is a service station, a car wash, and a convenience store. The bufferin§ requirements, etc., meet or exceed the old service station rec~/- la%ions. She referred to the color elevation displayed on easel. It meets the Community Design Plan. The comments from the Forester, the Utilities Department, the Engineering Department, and the Plannin9 and Zoning Department will be rec- tified through the Permitting process. Utilities and drainage are accommodated on the adjacent parcels which are ~art of the PCP. Easements will be necessary to cover the utilities, cross parking, and drainage. Ms. Stevens inquired about the bike path. Ms. Heyden advised that the bike path is required oa Knuth Road. Mr. Miller asked for clarification of the Safety Island. Ms. Heyden said the old service station overlay district requires Safety I~sland wkich does not apply in this case because there are not two driveways on one frontage. Chairman Lehner%z inquired about the pretreatment of water being accomplished off-site. Mr. Kazu~as pointed out the future bank site on the plan and said it is not part of the plat, which makes it off-site. An agreement is required to make sure the dry retention will be ~here until it is replaced with the dry reten- tion for the larger'site. Chairman Lehnertz asked Mr. Kilday if he has any problems with staff comments. Mr. Kilday answered in the negative. Chairman Lehnertz asked Mr. ~ilday if he was aware that the de- veloper shall confirm the assumption that the bike path will be constructed on the east side of Knuth Road. Mr. Kilday answered in the affirmative. Mr. Kazunas clarified that a set of plans for roadway improvements for Tara Oaks is on tonight's agenda in which a bike path is involved. There is an existing bike path on the east side of Knuth Road. The comment was to bring to the attention of the developer that even though he is showing a five foot sidewalk as part of this development, if the plans for Knuth Road should change, that five foot sidewalk might be turned into a bike path, Right now it looks like it is going to be on the east side. Vice Chairperson Huckle said the east side of Knuth Road is not part of this parcel. Mr. Kazunas said that is correct but a bike path presentl~ exists there. The larger PCD will require a sidewalk to go its entire length, which will not connect to anything. The intention is to make sure there is one continuous down t~e east side. The entire plans are not available yet; therefore, some assumptions are bein~ made. Vice Chairperson 12 - MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 Huckle asked how the City could make the applicant put in a bike path on property he does not own. Mr. Kazunas said the bike path already~exists. It is in the right-of-way; therefore, the appli- cant could be made responsible for the Knuth Road improvements, and as part of the Knuth Road improvements, to connect the bike path the full length. It is possible to have the bike path tied into some development; however, Mr. Kazunas was not sure right now which development it is. He did not know that the PCD is obligated tO any part of the Knuth Road improvements. Mr. Fleming moved tO ~pprove the request for site plan approval to construc~t a service station/convenience store and car wash located at Knuth Road and west Boyn~on' Beach BOUlevard, southwest corner, subject to all staff comments.

E. 3rd Street Request to construct two 4 unit apartment buildings and a detached car garage. Mr. Haag used the overhead projector and an elevation during his presentation. He said this project is going to be an eight unit, two building apartment complex. The zoning district is R3 which requires some large setbacks which the applicant could not meet. The applicant previously received approval for a reduction of front and rear setbacks from the Board of Adjustment. The pro]- ect consists of two two story ,buildings, each building having four units and a detached thr~e bay garage in the bottom right- hand corner. The garage is not~ included in any of the required parking. It is for the applicant's use only. He distributed pictures of the surrounding buildings. Ms. Stevens asked if the applicant was going to live there. Mr. Haag stated that the applicant has not said he is going to live there. The garage is going to be used to possibly keep some vehicles or some materials and supplies used for repair and main- tenance of the building. Vice Chairperson Huckte asked if this was allowable. Mr. Haag answered in the affirmative. Mr. Davis nor Mr. Fisher were present. Mr. Collins moved to approve the request to construct two 4 unit apartment buildings and a detached 3 car garage located at 2107 S. E. 3rd Street, subject to staff comments.

If the drawings for that building are not harmonious with the existing shopping center, then it will require approval through this Board for a variance to the Community Design Plan. Mr. Miller asked about the status of the traffic impact state- ment. Mr. Kazunas said he has not received it to date, Ms. Steve&qs said it would be nice to have the traffic impact statement available. This is the second or third application 14 MINUTES - PLANNING AND DE%rELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 tonight where we have not had all the reports in front of us upon which we are basing a decision. Mr. Sussman agreed. Mr. Hang said the total square footage of the building was reduced. There is an indication that there is not going to be an impact. Mr. Haag distributed photographs. Mr. Miller stated that often just a reduction of square footage does nO~ lower the impa~t ~f traffic if there is a~so a change of use, which there ishere by adding the restaurant.

Other Infrastructure Improvements Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Tara Oaks Rossi and Malavasi Engineers, Inc. Bill Winchester Knuth Road at Woolbright Road Approval of road improvements for a portion of Tara Oaks PUD prior to preliminary plat. Mr. Kazunas advised that there is a condition at Tara Oaks that Knuth Road be improved. Usually the road improvements come through with the site improvements. The developer requested that the City approve the road improvements for construction prior to any site improvements related to the church parcel. The plans show a 700 foot roadway attaching to woolbright, with a dead end at the end of the church property, a temporary retention basin being installed, and no indication of where the access to the church property would be because there is no church site plan submitted with it. It has not been determined what improvements will be required with Tara Oaks PUD on the church site plan for the remainder of the road. It has not been determined where the sidewalks will go. The right-of-ways do not line up between the north and south portions of the canal. The golf course is fenced the entire length of Knuth Road. The compromise to provide the bike path along the entire length of Knuth Road is to put the bike path on the east side and omit a sidewalk on the west side. This allows for more landscaping area and more area for drainage. It would be a sidewalk that could not be accessed because it is fenced property and not in the City at present. The right-of-way shifts from 80 feet to 60 feet. Sixty feet is very tight for 16 - MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BO~RD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 12, 1992 building a roadway, tf we put a sidewalk to the west, it would shift the roadway closer to the existing houses, Elimination of the 4 feet improves the alignment of the roadway going through there.
