Chairman Rosenstock called the meeting to order at 7:10 P.M.
and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was said.
Mr. Cutro advised that Nathan Collins had telephoned to
indicate he would not be present at the meeting. Discussion
took place about the City's board attendance policy and the
fact that a~ter a board member misses three regular
meetings, the City Clerk sends a letter advising if there is
a fourth absence from a regular meeting, board membership
will be terminated. Chairman Rosenstock remarked on several
cases o~ illness experienced by board members and a death in
one ~amily. The chairman felt these were legitimate reasons
for absences and they should be considered "excused." He
was concerned that from ~he City's recordkeeping perspec-
tive, there really is no such thing as an "excused absence."

Ms. Wilda Searcy wished to address the Board and the
Chairman indicated she could speak following the Hayes-Mack
Insurance Office Building variance application.

Jorge Gonzalez explained segments of his Memorandum No.
91-050 to the PZB, which is labeled Addendum B and attached
to the original copy of these Minutes in the City Clerk's
office. He explained the applicant is requesting approval
of a two-way driveway onto Gulfstream Blvd., to be located
about 96.5 ft. from the intersecting right-of-way lines of
Seacrest Blvd. and Gulfstream Blvd. An identical variance
was granted by the PZB for the driveway onto Seacrest Blvd.
on October 9, 1990. At that time, staff took into con-
sideration that a driveway would be planned onto Gulfstream
Blvd. and no objections were raised. Since Gulfstream Blvd.
is a divided road with a landscaped median, the driveway
onto Gulfstream Blvd. will not function as a full driveway
because only a right turn "in" and a right turn "out" are
possible. The TRB recommended approval of the variance,
without any staff comments.
Mr. Richter thought this was well planned and should be con-
sideredo Mr. Aguila agreed.
Chairman Rosenstock asked if there was any input from the
public. As there was no response from the audience, THE
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Richter moved to approve the request for a variance to

Request for approval of an amended
master plan to reconfigure pod boun-
daries, add a third access point,
change the unit type from conventional
single-family homes to zero lot line
homes and to reduce the minimum lot
frontage, rear setback, side setback
and the pool and screen enclosure set-
back.
Ms. Heyden expounded on changes to the original Master
Plan which was approved in September, 1989. These changes
included 1) shifting of the pod boundaries between pods A &
B, 2) relocation of the access point to pod B which is now
from Meadows Blvd. extended and 3) construction of zero lot
line homes rather than single family homes. These changes
were determined by the City Commission to not be a substan-
tial change. The rest of the request deals with building
setbacks. The applicant bas consented to a 6,000 sq. ft.
lot size, a 60' lot width, a 20'i front yard setback, 15'
side yard setback on the nonzero lot line side, a 15' rear
setback and an 8' pool and screen enclosure setback. The
TRB recommended approval, subject to the following staff
comments:

See Addendum D attached to the original copy of these
Minutes in the City Clerk's office.
Fire Department
"No adjoining building may overhang the lot. A second
access road to the project shall be required for emergency
use. This access shall come from an existing paved road and
shall be in place before C.O.'s are issued."
Engineering Department
"This is a Master Plan modification. The only Engineering
comment is that the following note shall be added to the
plans; 'Approval of the Master Plan does not constitute
roadway section approval and/or drainage system approval.
Roadway section and drainage systems will be addressed at
the preliminary plat submittal stage.'"
Utilities Department
"Ail water mains shall be looped. Dead end runs are to be
avoided. A second connection to the off site system is
required."
Planning Department
See Addendum E and Addendum F attached to the original copy
of these Minutes in the City Clerk's office.
Ms. Heyden pointed out the PUD approval is only valid for 18
months if planning is not commenced. Approval of this
request will extend the Master Plan approval for another 18
months. This issue was taken into consideration when staff
reviewed the request and does not present a concurrency
problem. The project will still retain its C-3 concurrency
category status.
Mr. Cutro stated the only way you can currently get an
extension on a Master Plan is to alter it. There is no
automatic extension of a Master Plan that can be approved by
the PZB or City Commission. He proposed to introduce into
the Code an additional 18 month extension. Presently, a
person has 18 months in which to commence preliminary plat
submission. Mr. Cutro believed there should be an extension
provided for which would allow for this type of situation.
There is no vehicle currently for that in the Code. He will
be proposing an amendment to the PUD Ordinance that would
allow for such an extension. The person will, therefore, be
able to make changes but the clock will continue to run
during the "three year period," and would not start the
clock over again as it is presently set up.

MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING
BOY!~TON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 12, 1991
The Chairman didn't want the extension to go on "ad
infinitum." Mr. Cutro stated the applicant would get 18
months, and then an additional 18 months. After that, they
would have to start over again. Mr. Finizio commented on
the additional one year Commission extension, after expira-
tion. Mr. Cutro indicated that in the next few months he
would like to amend the PUD Ordinance to allow for the
extension, so it is "nice and clean" and they would not have
to d~termine whether or not a change is minor or major.
In connection with the existing optional renewal that Mr.
Finizio referred to, Mr. Cutro stated that deals directly
with concurrency. The question is, do you roll over the
concurrency on a yearly basis? M~. Cutro thought perhaps
they needed to revise that for PUDs as well so everything
runs concurrently.
Vice Chairman Lehnertz arrived at the meeting at 7:28 P.M.
Mr. Finizio raised what he considered to be an important
question. If the City CommiSsion deems a change to be a
minor change, should it trigger an automatic extension of 18
months? Chairman Rosenstock thought that should really come
from the Engineering or Planning Depts. Further technical
discussion ensued about minor/major changes and the time
table. Richard Staudinger, P.E. agreed this portion of the
Ordinance needs to be clarified.
Ms. Anna Cottrell, a Planner with Urban Design Studios was
present to represent the applicant. Chairman Rosenstock
was curious if this change was premeditated. Ms. Cottrell
stated they had been "up front with City staff" and the pro-
ject simply needs more time so the market can develop
to absorb the project as approved. Two years ago, no one
foresaw what would happen. By making these changes, Ms.
Cottrel believed they would end up with a better product.
Ms. Cottrell pointed out the total number of units was not
changing. By shifting the pod boundaries they were making
the single family pod a little smaller to accommodate
smaller units. The multi-family pod will be a little
larger.
Chairman Rosenstock asked if there was any input from the
public. As there was no response from the audience, THE
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
In response to a question raised, Ms. Cottrell explained the
justification for the request for a smaller rear yard set-
back. She commented on the 6,000 sq. ft. lots which they
considered more appropriate for the patio homes. The set-
backs will not change, based on the recommendation of staff
and which had been accepted as a condition of approval. The
only reduction will be the lot width reduction of 80' to
60'.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 12, 1991
Mr. Cwynar arrived at the meeting at 7:35 P.M.
Mr. Cutro explained the submittal which was before the Board
was the original proposal for downsized lots. It was recom-
mended at the TRB meeting and City Commission meeting that
it be enlarged and that setbacks be maintained. The
Commission said if those were maintained, it would be a
minor change. That had not been reflected in the backup
material which was before the Board because staff had not
received the new typical drawing yet. That, however, was a
condition of this approval. Ms. Cottrell remarked that the
lot width had been Shown on some of the paperwork as being
reduced to 50' but they had agreed to go to 60'. Ms.
Cottrell indicated she agreed with the other staff comments.
Other remarks were made.
Mr. Cutro stated there are outstanding conditions on this
plat on the PUD. This will not relieve the applicant of
any of those conditions. The conditions still exist from
the original PUD Master Plan and will have to be met as far
as the site plans or plats that come through.
Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for an amended
master plan to reconfigure pod boundaries, add a third
access point, change the unit type from conventional single-
family homes to zero lot line homes and to reduce the mini-
mum lot frontage, rear setback, side setback and the pool
and screen enclosure setback for the Knollwood Groves PUD,
subject to staff comments and City Commission conditions as
discussed. Mr. Richter seconded the motion which carried
6-0.

MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 12, 1991
Ms. Heyden explained this request is for the last undeve-
loped parcel at the northeast corner of Quantum Blvd. and
Congress Ave. When the site plan for the shopping center
was originally approved, there was a footprint for a 3,200
sq. ft. bank with a drive-through facility proposed for this
out parcel. The request before the Board was to increase
the building square footage an additional 1,521 square feet
and to subdivide the out parcel from the rest of the
shopping center. The shared parking study which is on file
is being modified to accommodate the increase in square
footage. There are revisions proposed to the parking
spaces.
With respect to comment ~5 in Planning Dept. Memorandum No.
91-046, Ms. Heyden stated that ibecause of the mix in uses at
the shopping center which exhibit different peak hour
parking demands, the shared Parking concept works here. The
only impact the changes to the bank will have in the study,
is that the buffer is slightly reduced. The minimum of 10%
is still being maintained.
A color elevation was available and picks up on the colors
in the shopping center. The TRB recommends approval, sub-
ject to the!following staff comments:

"The landscape plan should reflect fifty (50%) percent
native shrubs."
As Ms. Heyden had indicated the project could "stand alone"
on its parking and still have plenty, Mr. Richter wondered
if this parcel is to be owned separately, why were they
pursuing the shared parking? Mr. Cutro responded that in a
situation like this it is normal to go through a shared
parking concept as there will always be "slop over" with
some parking areas being used by customers visiting other
areas of the center. This is especially the case at
Christmas time when there is very heavy use. Mr. Richter
thought people visiting the theater might use the parking
lot. Mr. Cutro agreed and stated they might want to make
sure they don't peak out at the same hour. Ms. Heyden added
that even though the parcel is being separated out, it won't
have its own access. It has to use the shopping center
access so it makes sense to have shared access and shared
parking.
Chairman Rosenstock asked if there was any input from the
public. As there was no response from the audience, THE
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. John Glidden of Oliver-Glidden & Partners was present to
represent the applicant. Mr. Glidden indicated there had
been some minor changes to the exterior ingress/egress of
the building itself. They differed slightly from the
package that was originally submitted relative to the
entrance to the building. This was the only real difference
in the site plan per se. Plans were examined by the Board.
Mr. Glidden explained a possible alternate to the exterior
elevation which would have the roof of the second floor come
to a peak as opposed to being chopped off and flat. The
developer of the center has no objection to modifying his
requirement by allowing the roof to come to a full peak.
The overall height would be about 40' or 41' Mr. Glidden
said this proposal deviates 'slightly from the plan
submitted. Mr. Glidden commented on the building's color
scheme, which will be reviewed by the CAB.
Mr. Aguila liked what had been done with this project,
however, he did have some problems with the traffic cir-
culation on the site. He had concerns about potential
hazards. Mr. Aguila had prepared a quick overlay and he
hoped Mr. Glidden would consider it. Mr. Aguila commented
on difficulty getting out of the existing main access drive
8

right off Quantum Blvd. He suggested traffic be allowed to
go a little further north before they have to get out. They
would make a right hand turn, rather than a U-turn, if they
want to go out across the median and head south on Congress
Ave. The overlay was examined.
Charlie Ladd of 1rDM Group, 1700 N. Dixie Hwy., Boca Raton,
(the shopping center owner's agent), stated his only comment
on the drawing was that on the east side of the entrance
drive to the theater there is deadend parking which they
have not had any problem with. If they are going to open up
a two-way drive as shown on the diagram, he thought they
should go ahead and extend the island to the main entrance
drive so they will not lose parking spaces and they will not
have a double drive. The U-turn will be eliminated complete-
ly. Mr. Ladd agreed the U-turn was aproblem. Discussion
of the proposal ensued. Mr. Glidden indicated he would have
no objection with this proposal. Mr. Staudinger agreed this
was the way to go. Mr. Cutro indicated the new arrangement
would be added to the Planning Dept.'s comments.
Mr. Richter moved to approve the request for an amended site
plan to separate from the shopping center the outparcel
preplanned for lease by a bank, modify the shared parking
study, increase the footprint square footage by 1,521 sq.
ft. and allow changes in site layout and design, including
the parking arrangement discussed at this meeting. This is
subject to all staff comments. Approval of the changes in
roofline as suggested by the developer is recommended. Mr.
Lehnertz seconded the motion which carried 6-0.
Assistant City Attorney Trehy wanted the applicant to
understand that the PZB was not the approval agency on the
proposed roofline changes and the plans still need to go to
the CAB for approval.
Comments by Jose Aguila and Bill Cwynar
Mr. Aguila stated if he is elected, this will be his last
PZB meeting. It had been a pleasure for him to serve on the
PZB. Mr. Cwynar, who was also running for a City Commission
seat, indicated he felt the same way.
Comments on April PZB Meeting
Mr. Cutro stated next month there would be five rezonings
coming to the Board. These rezonings are to implement the

RE: TRB Comments - January 29, 1991 Meeting
MASTER PLAN MODIFICATION - KNOLLWOOD GROVES (change in housing unit
boundaries and single family lot layout & setbacks}
Upon review of the above mentioned pro3ect, the following list of comments
must be addressed in order to conform with Boynton Beach City Codas:
1. Specify on the master plan that each residential lot shall have two
(2) off-street parking spaces.
2. Show and specify how vehicular traffic will be separated from
pedestrian'traffic by showing the location and size of sidewalks
and/or bicycle paths.
3. Provide a note on the plan specifyIng that above ground installation
of appurtenances related to underground utility services shall be
effectively screened.
I recommend that the minimum width of the lot be es%ablished as 60 feet and
the minimum rear s~tback line be 15 feet. These dimensions will be
consistent with the lot requirements of previously approved planned unit
developments. I recommend that the following setback requirements be
specified on the master plan:
SETBACKS - Required for all lots
Rear 15 feet
Front 20 feet
Side 0 (Zero lot line)
Side 15 feet
SETBACKS - Required for screen enclosures with screen walls and roof.
Rear - 8 feet
Side - 15 feet
Zero Lot Side - 0 feet
SETBACKS - Required for hard roof screen enclosures and hard roof
additions.
Setback requirements shall comply with the established typical
building setback lines.
SETBACKS - Required for pools.
Setback requirements shall comply with Pool Ordinance and
Appendix-A Zoning, Section 11 E.
For a clear uderstanding of the location of the front setback for all lots,
I recommend showing the following:
1. Show and specify with a continuous line on the master plan the
location of the 20 foot front setback line for all lots.
Specify on the plan that all corner lots shall have a minimum 20 foot
wide side setback line and/or a minimum 20 foot wide pervious common
ground area that iis located between the street and the lot line.

Knollwood Groves P.U.D. - File no. 570
Master Plan MOdification (change in setbacks and lot
and unit layout)
Anna Cottrell, agent for McIntosh/Cowie, Inc., has requested a
modification to the previously approved master plan for the
Knollwood Groves P.U.D., as outlined in the attached
correspondence in Exhibit "A". A copy of the approved master
plan is provided in Exhibit "B" and a copy of the proposed master
Plan is provided in Exhibit "C". The changes requested are as
follows:
1)
2)
3)
4)
reconfiguratlon of the pod boundaries involving an acreage
reduction from 72.5 acres to 41.6 acres in pod B, comprised
of 150 single family homes and an acreage ~ncrease from 24.]
acres to 55.7 acres in pod A, comprised o~'389 multi-family
homes; no change in the total number or t~e number of units
within each pod is requested,
addition of a third access point onto Head~ws Boulevard
extended,
a change from conventional, single family homes to zero lot
line homes,
changes in the tFpical single family unit layout, including
a reduction of the minimum lot frontage from 80 feet to 50
feet, a reduction in the minimum rear yard setback from 15
feet to 10 feet, a reduction in the minimu~ pool and screen
enclosure setback from 8'feet to 3 feet and a change from
7.5 foot interior side yard setbacks on each side to a 15
foot side yard setback on the nonzero lot line side =o
accommodate the proposed sero lot line homes. (see Exhibit
"D" for ~llustrations of the approved tYPical building
setbacks vs. the proposed typical building setbacks.)
The'procedure for approving master plan modifications in planned
unit developments is ~wofold. First, the City Commission must
make a determination as to whether or not the changes requested
are substantial in nature. A determination of substantial change
on the part of the City Co~misslon, which has sole discretion in
this matter, would require a new application for PUD. On the
other hand, a determination of no substantial change allows the
forwarding a request to the Planning and Zoning Board. This
procedure appears in Appendix B, Section 12 of the Code of
Ordinances.
With respect to the change requested by Ms. Cottre11, the
Technical Review Board (TRB] met on January 29, 1991, to review
the plans and documents submitted and they are recommending that
--the City Commisslbn make a finding of no substantial change for
the requests to modify the pod boundaries, access points and
single family unit type. However, with respect to the request to
reduce the minimum lot width, the rear yard setback and the pool
and screen enclosure setback, the Technical Review Board
recommends that the City Commission make a finding of substantial
change.

Planning Dept. Memorandum NO. 91-034
It was the consensus of the TRB that the requests to modify the
minimum lot width and the setbacks for the rear yards and pool
and screen enclosures, substantially alter the nature of the
original master plan approval. These reques6s deviate from the
minimUm standards recommended by the T~B for pUDS that have set

Site Plan Modification
Please be advised of the following Planning Department comments
with respect ro the above-referenced request for a site plan
modification:
1. Provide a graphic scale on all drawings. Site plan
application, page 5, item
2. Complete page 2, question 19, on the site plan application.
3. Based on discussions at the Technical Review Board and the
Planning and Zoning Board meetings concerning traffic
circulation problems in the vicinity of the revised
drive-through and bank ourparcel, it is recommended that the
parking area and access aisles east of the bank be
redesigned as depicted in the attached ERhibit A.
4. The total number of parking spaces provided appears to be
1106 rather than 1107 as indicated on the site plan,
application and shared parking study. The discrepancy
occurs along the south side of the bank where a parking
space was lost. Revise the documents stated.
5 The shared parking study submitted does not reflect the pas=
two site plan modifications that involved revisions to the
number of parking spaces required for the retail south of
Quantum Boulevard (742 parking spaces) and increases in the
total square footage of retail space south of Quantum
Boulevard (148,292 sq. ft.)o In addition, since the bank is
to be subdivided from the shopping center parcel, the bank
parking ratio should be applied; one parking space for every
250 square feet of gross floor area, rather than the retail
rate of 1:200 that was used. The changes anticipated have
been marked on the attached pages (2, 3, 9, table I and
table 2) of the shared parking study submitted and shall be
reflected on the revised plans, site plan application (page
4) and shared parking study submitted for final sign-off.
Despite these changes, the shared parking study provides
quantitative evidence that with the increase in square
footage associated wi~h the bank. a sufficient number of
parking spaces is available at the peak hour of parking
demand and that a buffer exceeding the minimum 10%
provided. Appendix A - Zoning, section 11.M.13 and
16.d(18}.
6. Since the bank parcel is being subdivided, a cross access
agreement with the shopping center ~s needed to provide for
the cross parking areas, access aisles and driveways shown
on the site plan. A copy of this agreement shall be
submitted prior to final sign-off, so that this department
may coordinate review of the agreement with the city's legal
department. AS a point of information, the bank parcel is
only required to have 19 parking spaces, which are shown
within the proposed boundaries of the bank parcel, allowing
the bank to be independent of the shared parking study for
the shopping center. Therefore, two options are available.
The bank can be deleted from the shared parking study with

6. no provisions for cross parking in the cross access
agreement or retain the bank within the shared parking study
and provide for cross parking in the cross access agreement.
7. The Quantum sign variances approved by City com~aission on
September 21, 1988, did not include an off-premise sign on
the Shoppes of Boynton property within the hatched area
shown on the site plan submitted. Therefore, this
representation should be deleted from the plans.
