Presentation by Home Builders and Contractors Association
of Palm Beach County: Offering of Graduate Developer and
Builder Certification Course - Requested by Mrs. DeLong
Mrs. DeLong took this course, and she had asked Randy
Nielsen, Governmental Affairs Director from the Home
Builders and Contractors Association of Palm Beach County
to speak to the Members about a pilot course. Mr. Nielsen
thought it was an opportunity for them to work with the
City to enhance the process of well managed growth in Boynton
Beach. One program they offer is their graduate developer
and builders institute. The institute provides those
involved in the home building industry with the opportunity
for professional growth and development. Mr. Nielsen said
the course Includes an overview of the process, zoning, land
use, land acquisition, market research, product development,
budgeting and profit margins, land development, construction
techniques, architectural planning, and sales agents'
responsibilities.
Mr. Nielsen felt they could put the program on in four
sessions of about two hours each. He thought it might
give the Board Members a better understanding of what is
involved on the part of Builders and what some of the
obstacles members of their Association are faced with
when they attempt to build and develop parcels. Mr. Nielsen
also thought it may give them insight they can pass on to
their members so they can better work with Boards like this.
Mr. Nielsen contemplated starting the project in May and
thought it could be used with the National Home Builders.
In the last 18 months, the City and his Association have
been able to work out a lot of misunderstandings that were
in the community before. Mr. Nielsen elaborated.
Mr. Richter liked the idea. He questioned whether depart-
ment heads within the City would be included to give their
- 3

BOTfl~TON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 11, 1990
viewpoints and also explain the concerns they have when a
project is brought to the City. Mr. Richter thought they
should be guest speakers because they deal with this every
day.
Discussion ensued as to when the program would start.
Mr. Nielsen informed Chairman Rosenstock that the Associa-
tion has a number of members who teach various segments of
the course, based on their specialties. Mr. Howard thought
the City Commission Should be included. Mrs. DeLong felt
the Board of Adjustment should also be included. She also
included concurrency and traffic performance standards in
the course. Mr. Nielsen told why he thought the Members
should get involved in this.
Mr. Richte~ commented about the Palm Beach County Planning
Council, projects that should be coordinated, roads, and
new terminology coming out that people should be aware of.
Mrs. DeLong checked with City Manager Miller, and he said
the facilities at City Hall would be available for the
course. Chairman Rosenstock thought what was proposed was
excellent. He suggested they set specific dates and start
putting it together. Mrs. Greenhouse thanked Mrs. DeLong
and the Association for their efforts. It was her under-
standing the course was not without charge, but it was being
offered to the Board Members without a charge.

Request for site plan approval to con-
struct a 644 square foot clubhouse
addition
Jim Golden, Senior Planner, congratulated the new Board
Members and the new Chairman and Vice Chairman. He showed
on an overlay that the addition would be located on the left
side of the building. The City's parking lot regulations
require that if a parking lot is enlarged, the entire parking
lot must be modified where necessary to meet the current
requirements. Since the project was built in the early
1960s and the Parking Lot ordinance was not adopted until
the early 1980s, substantial improvements will be required,
including tearing out the parking lot to install drainage.
Other things would include landscaping, lighting, etc.

If the variance would be approved, Mr. Golden said the
applicant would not be required to reconstruct the existing
parking lot or any portion thereof. The recommendation of
t~e Technical Review Board (TRB) was that the request for
variance be approved as submitted. This was based on the
minor nature of the change requested, which was to relocate
restroomsf provide handicapped access and additional office
and storage space° It was the consensus of the TRB that
there are no existing safety problems with respect to the
existing layout and design. However, it was difficult for
the TRB to arrive at this conclusion because the plans sub-
mitted did not show the existing layout.
Chairman Rosenstock asked if it was a habit of the TRB to
approve plans without an existing plan. He understood the
clubhouse was quite old. Chairman Rosenstock was concerned
that the TRB might approve something without anything on the
record verifying exactly what will happen and what is in
place at the present time.
Mrs. Greenhouse saw the parking lot and had no problems with
it. Her concern was giving the applicant relief from the
"Scope" of the entire Parking Lot Ordinance. She did not
notice whether there were any stop signs. In reviewing the
Parking Lot Code, one item contained in it was required
maintenance. If the Board grants relief from the "Scope",
Mrs. Greenhouse asked whether that would mean they would
never have to comply with the maintenance again. She under-
stood this community did not have an existing set of plans
and could not afford to draw up a new set of plans.
Mrs. Greenhouse wondered if the Planning Department could
work with the applicant and help them identify the specific
areas of relief they need rather than giving them relief
from the "Scope".
Discussion ensued. Mrs. Greenhouse asked if it could be a
problem to enforce that Section of the Code if the Board
would give the applicant a variance. Attorney Cherof
answered "Yes." Mrs. Greeenhouse wondered if they should
identify specifically what the applicant wants relief from.
Mr. Golden said the Board could have the application go back
to the City Staff and have the City Staff recommend the
Sections the applicant should comply with and have them come
back to the Board. There was discussion as to whether the
applicant should come back to the Board.
Attorney Cherof advised there are guidelines the Board
should follow, as set forth in that Section of the Code.

The variance to be granted was mandated to be the minimum
variance that would accomplish the purpose the applicant
was seeking. They were right in saying if they grant a
variance from the "Scope" Section of the Code, they would
be giving a variance which is much broader.
Thomas Avalle, President, Hampshire Gardens, Inc.,
2500 South Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, FL 33435, told
the Members the applicant was looking for relief from the
requirements of the Parking Code. Hampshire Gardens is 25
years old, and they have no problems with their parking
spaces. They have 275 spaces available and 236 apartments.
Three buildings are outside of the 500 foot radius the
"Scope" calls for. The three buildings have 36 apartments.
The "Scope" also requires that they have two spaces for the
pool area and two spaces for the shuffleboard area.
Thirteen spaces are required by "Scope". Mr. Avalle said
they have 37 unalloeated spaces, 15 spaces within 200 yards
of the clubhouse, and 17 more spaces w~thin 200 feet. There
is a total of 27 spaces within ~00 feet of the clubhouse.
The request does not involve additional people or cars.
People walk to the clubhouse.
Mrs. Greenhouse asked Mr. Avalle if it would present a
hardship if the Board h~ard this again next month.
Mr. Richter thought it would be ridiculous to have them come
back. The City Staff had already recommended approval. All
the applicant was looking for was relief for their
clubhouse. The applicant was not adding any parking spaces
and was not takin~ any away. As long as the applicant
complies with the City'~
s Ordinances, Mr. Richter thought the
Board should give them he variance.'
Once you give somebody ~elief from the entire scope of the
Ordinance, Chairman Rosenstock said they have relief to do
anything they want i~ the future. He stated he would be
happy to vote in favor of the applicant as long as it would
not give the applicant complete relief from the Ordinance in
perpetuity.
Attorney Cherof advised that the Board should have the
Planning Department identify what the applicant should have
done to comply with the Code provision. The Members should
determine specifically what the applicant is seeking relief
~rom and then they could exempt some things from the list.
Mr. Avalle said they were specifically looking to use their
present unallocated parking spaces to bring them up to
- 7 -
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 11, 1990
scope. Some of their plans are so old, they would have to
survey the whole property to come up with the plans. If
they have to go through the procedure of surveying the
property and bring all of the plans up to Code, it would be
an added expense for the small addition they have. They
have already spent considerable money. If this gets too
difficult, Mr. Avalle said they will not be able to proceed
with the expansion.
Mr. Avalle added their time is short. Most of their people
will be leaving for the north soon, and the people involved
in the variance will not be here.
To determine what the issues are, Mr. Golden said someone
would have to evaluate the whole parking lot. He stated he
could give an approximate list of things, but he would not
feel confident that he was covering everything. Mr. Golden
mentioned some of the requirements.
Mr. Cannon apprised everyone that the applicant would have
to submit a survey, and he thought the applicant wanted to
avoid that. He elaborated on what should be done. The
Parking Lot Regulations allow the P&Z Board to grant a
variance from any Section of the Parking Lot Regulations.
Mr. Cannon thought the application was taking advantage of
that at the fullest. The Section they were asking a variance
from was the "Scope" Section.
Mrs. Greenhouse questioned whether they could give the
applicant relief from the "Scope" with the exception of
maintenance. Attorney Cherof replied they would be estab-
lishing a procedure that may be a precedent, so the next
person that comes in for a varzance will ask the Board not
to apply the requirements of the City's specific Code but
to create this new procedure for granting a variance. He
again drew the attention of the Members to the criteria for
granting a varzance, and he stressed it is a four step
procedure they must evaluate. It includes granting the
minimum variances necessary to keep it in harmony. The
justification is to implement the Code Section, not to
abrogate it. The Board might be trying to take a short cut
but, procedurally, Attorney Cherof thought it was zmproper.
In the past, when the Board granted a variance, Mr. Howard
stated they were to agree to the comments of the TRB, and
that took care of everything. That was what the Board had
done for the last couple of years. Discussion ensued about
the proper wording for a motion and the requirements.

Mr. Cannon informed Mrs. Greenhouse that the applicant would
have to meet the handicapped requirements because it is a
State law. Mr. Golden apprised the Members that generally,
the burden for showing what they can comply with is placed
on the applicant. Usually applicants will attempt to comply
as much as possible, and they will only ask a variance for
what they cannot obtain. That was not the situation in this
case.
Vincent Finizio, Acting Assistant to the City Engineer,
stated if the plans were unclear as to what the specific
design requirements were, the Board was obligated to deny
the application until more specific information could be
provided. Mr. Richter asked whether there was any way the
applicant could be given relief. Mr. Finizio answered that
a variance should never be applied to the "Scope", only
specific requirements cited as Sections. The City Staff
was undecided and divided as to the intent of this variance.
Traffic and maintenance were the only things Mrs. Greenhouse
was concerned about, and she inquired whether the Board
could give the applicant relief from everything but that.
Mr. Cannon replied that the Board could do that. A question
arose as to how this could be done. Mr. Avalle informed the
Members the project's streets are private streets, and they
have traffic control signs. Discussion ensued about Police
and Fire inspections and the parking lot. Mr. Avalle stated
they have no problems with drainage, and they are installing
street lights for the protection Of their people. There
was further ~iscussion about the requirements.
At the TRB meeting, Mr. Golden said there was a lot of
discussion and confusion over the "Scope" issue. The
Members felt the nature of the addition was very minor. Not
one person voted against it. Mrs. Greenhouse questioned why
the applicant would need a sur~ey to get relief from the
"Scope". Mr. Golden answered that the only way the appli-
cant can tell whether it will comply is to do a survey of
how the parking lot was originally built and compare it with
the Ordinance.
Even if the Board recommended that the applicant could go
ahead with the comments of the TRB, Mr. Howard did not think
there was enough information for the applicant to get a
building permit. Mr. Golden answered the recommendation
from the TRB for the site plan was for approval, subject to
staff comments. Mr. Cannon advised the applicant just needs
a building permit for the building expansion, not the
parking lot.

Mr. Finizio thought he could probably help the applicant.
He Offered to go to the property and said he could have an
evaluation within 24 hoUrs.
Mrs. Greenhouse moved to TABLE the matter. The motion died
for lack of a second.
Mr. Richter moved to approve the request for a variance to
Sec. 5-138 with the exception of Mr. Finizio's inspection
and evaluation and further staff comments for the compliance
to stay within the "Scope" of Article X-Parking Lots Code.
Vice Chairman Lehnertz seconded the motion.
Mr. Howard asked whether it would be subject to the Board's
inspection for approval. Mr. Richter answered affirmatively.
Attorney Cherof did not think it was a proper motion.
Mrs. Greenhouse thought they should table the request until
the next meeting, and she explained. Vice Chairman Lehnertz
disagreed. As time is money, he did not feel the Board
should make the applicant wait another month for something
this small.
Mr. Richter withdrew his motion, and Vice Chairman Lehnertz
withdrew his second.
Motion re Variance Request
Mrs. Greenhouse moved to CONTINUE the public hearing regard-
ing Hampshire Gardens' request for a variance until the next
regularly scheduled P&Z Board meeting, with the understand-
ing the City Engineering Staff will assist the applicant in
making a determination as to what design requirements they
are seeking relief from. Mr. Howard seconded the motion.

Request for approval of an amended

reduction in front and rear setbacks
in other areas of the Citrus Trail plat
Mr. Golden made the presentation and said there were
actually two requests in one, as outlined in the Planning
Department's Memo No. 90-056 attached to the original copy
o~ these minutes in the Office o~ the City Clerk as Addendum
A. The recommendation from the TRB was that the request to
reduce the front and rear setbacks in other areas of the
Citrus Trail plat was a substantial change and the request
to increase the lot sizes along Citrus Avenue did not
constitute a substantial change. The recommendation from
the Commission was that nezther request was substantial. If
the P&Z Board chose to approve the request, it was recom-
mended by the TRB that it be approved subject to the staff
comments attached to the original co~y of these minutes in
the Office of the City Clerk as Addenda A through C, and to
the following comment:
Building Department
Identify on plans minimum buildable area front setback
dimension.
Chairman Rosenstock was concerned that if someone parked
his car in the driveway, the car would extend into the side-
walk. Mr. Golden confirmed that the rear of a larger car
would be obstructing the sidewalk.
In response to a question from Mrs. Greenhouse, Mr. Golden
explained the standards established for Planned Unit
Developments (PUDS). Mrs. Greenhouse noted one of the
concerns o~ the TRB was that a reduction such as this would
constitute a Precedent° If this is approved, Mr. Golden
thought developers would come in to ask for lesser setbacks.

Mrs. DeLong noticed several driveways in the development
were more shallow. Mr. Golden replied they should have a
minimum of 20 feet. Another issue concerned the type of
model constructed on the lot. Mrs. DeLong also noticed
some of the driveways were closer to the street.
Felix Granados, Jr., Developer, criticized the way projects
are presented. He stated it is confusing and not accurate.
He emphasized that they are not building larger homes. The
square footage is smaller in some of the buildings he is now
building. The houses are sort of flat across the front.
There is not a lot of motion in them. Mr. Granados expounded
on how he is trying to improve the i~ooks of the model houses
from the street. He assured Chairman Rosenstock that a
Cadillac will fit in 18 feet and added that the TRB recom-
mended 18 feet so cars would not stick out beyond the side-
walk.
Mr. Granados agreed with Mrs. DeLong's observation that
some of the houses are only 20 feet from the street. When
he bought the community, he could have built every house
20 feet from uhe street without any sidewalks. Sidewalks
are now on every single interior street because he put them
there° It was not a requirement of the City of Boynton
Beach. Mr. Granados expounded on how he has improved the
property and said he cu= back from 230 homes, which were
originally approved, down to 195 and increased the cl~ubhouse.
Mr. Granados asked that the sidewalk be dropped altogether,
as it was not required, in which case he would still have 30
or so feet to the house. ~ne TRB proposed that he save the
sidewalk and make it 18 feet. The TRB was in favor of that
solution, and the City Commission voted unanimously in favor
of it.
Mr. Cannon informed Mrs. Greenhouse that the applicant had
to have a pedestrian circulation system but in a PUD, the
requirement for a sidewalk on both sides of every street can
be relaxed. The applicant has a pedestrian circulation
system, but they are not putting sidewalks on both sides of
every street. The streets are private.
After other comments about the plan, Vice Chairman Lehnertz
thought they would be providing a precedent for any developer
who comes into the City. ~e asked what will happen when
later down the road, the home owners want covered screen
porches. To do that, the setbacks would have to be reduced
even more. Vice Chairman Lehnertz thought this was the
place to stop it.

Mr. Granados argued that the right-of-ways are 34 feet as
they stand today. He is 10 feet in excess of what is
required today. Mr. Granados alluded to Citrus Park and
further argued.
Delfin Fo Menendez, Senior Architect, MSM Design Group,
630 South Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, FL 33401-5835,
told the Members the project was originally approved as
24 feet for right-of-ways. Be confirmed that Mr. Granados
increased the right-of-ways to 34 feet and added the side-
walks. When they discussed this with the TRB, Mr. Menendez
said they found out the City's Parking Regulations allow a
stall of 18 feet long and 10 feet wide. A limousine or
truck wonld be the only vehicle that could not park in the
driveway. Most cars today do not exceed 16 feet.
Mr. Menendez wanted to keep the sidewalks.
Discussion ensued, and prior statements were repeated.
Mr. Richter interjected that the P&Z Board previously
approved this project. He thought t~is developer had
improved it, and he could not see wh~ the Board was nit-
picking the plan and trying to penalize Mr. Granados.
Mr. Richter elaborated.
Vice Chairman Lehnertz noted they had a combined 35 foot
setback between the front and the rear. The request was
for a combined 30 foot setback betwee~ the front and the
rear. He understood the developer di~ not want to build
larger houses. The developer just wants to stagger them.
Vice Chairman Lehnertz asked if there was a way for the
Board to specify that the combination setback will remain
35 feet, but they can have their front and rear limits
within that. Mr. Cannon answered tha~t the Board could
attach that condition, and it would be reasonable.
The concern Vice Chairman Lehnertz had was that even though
they were told the houses will not be larger, it would
still give them the possibility of building larger houses,
which would give a crowded type of situation. Mr. Granados
was willing to tie the variance to one specific model.
Mr. Richter moved to approve the request for approval of an
amended master plan to allow for an increase in lot size
along Citrus Avenue and a reduction in front and rear set-
backs in other areas of the Citrus Trail plat known as
Citrus Glen, subject to staff comments, with the exception
of those comments in conflict with the approval.

taken on the motion. The vote was 2-4. Mr. Richter and
Mrs. DeLong were the only ones who voted in favor of the
motion. The motion failed.
Mr. Golden confirmed Vice Chairman Lehnertz' understanding
that the Planning Department recommended approval of the
suggested 60 foot right-of-way and recommended a replat for
those lots with frontage on the 34 foot right-of-way.
He added that there were no problems with the request for
the lots on Citrus Avenue. Five feet will be added to the
lots through the previous abandonment of Citrus Avenue.
Motion
Vice Chairman Lehnertz moved to approve the amended master
plan to allow for an increase in lot size along Citrus
Avenue, subject to staff comments. He clarified that he
wanted to recommend approval of only those lots along the
60 foot right-of-way. Pursuant to Mr. Golden's suggestion,
Vice Chairman Lehnertz added that his motion was subject to
staff comments, except those comments which would conflict
with the motion. The motion was repeated by the Recording
Secretary.
Mr. Richter asked if reductions in the front and rear set-
backs in other areas of the Citrus Trail plat were being
eliminated. Vice Chairman Lehnertz answered that was right.
The developer would have to do what was recommended by the
TRB. Mr. Golden advised the Members they would be accepting
the recommendation of the TRB and not the City Commission's
recommendation. The Members agreed that was correct.
Mr. Richter seconded the motion, and the motion carried 6-0.

Chairman Rosenstock noted the developer was taking awa~ a
five acre park and requesting that the City Commission waive
the $85,805.08 parks and recreation fee. Discussion ensued
between Mr. Felner and Chairman Rosenstock. Mrs. Greenhouse
noted the applicants, at their own expense, took about 20%
of their entire parcel and devoted it into improvements they
were not required to do. Those improvements were far in
excess of $85,000, so they really were not taking away a
park and not giving the City the money. Chairman Rosenstock
agreed the amenities were commendable, but they would also
increase the value of their property. He was worried that
the de~eloper was denying the City $85,000, which the City
could use. Chairman Rosenstock was not asking that the City
get the money. He h~d asked, and he asked again, that the
developer reduce the rents ~or the next five years in pro-
portion %o the money they will save. Mr. Felner replied it
would preclude them ~rom providing afforda~ble housing with-
in the City of Boy,ton Beach with these types of amenities
and living accommodatiions.
Chairman Rosenstock ~sked the developer to provide a
finanoial statement when the d~velopment is rented.
Felner answered that Chairman Rosenstock could get that
through the State. Mr. Richter read the comments from the
Recreation Department, which said the 2.54 acres provided
for private recreation should serve the development ade-
quately as a neighborhood park. Mr. Felner emphasized that
the applicant had a~lread~ bee~ financially burdened far and
beyond anything they ever ~nticipated to remove the wooded
area and replace it ~n accordance with the directions of the
Department of Re~reat!ion~and Parks' directions. ~o do any-
thing beyond that wou~ld be ~mpossible.
Mr. Howard referredl to the last paragraph in Mr. Cannon's
Memo Noo 90-082 (Addendum E), which said the developer's
request was reasonable. He read, "However, if it is the
decision of the C~tF Commission to approve this request,
the Planning Department will need to amend the Recreation
and Open Space and Capital Improvements Elements of the
Comprehensive Plan %o remove the five acre public park which
is proposed to be l~cated on this property." Mr. Howard
questioned whether this would be changed throughout the
whole City or just in this project. Since this was shown as
a park site in theI Comprehensive ~lan scheduled for acquisi-
tion after 1995, M~r. Cannon said ~f the applicant is going
to develop it, it will not be available for the City to
acquire. Therefore, the City will have to adjust its level
of service for that neighborhood after 1995 as far as public
neighborhood parks are concerned.

Continued Discussion re The Hamlet
(See page 15 of these minutes.)
Mr. Richter thought they should make a motion to find The
Hamlet consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
This item had just been approved by the Board. Mr. Cannon
stated it was the Planning Department's opinion that the
project, as proposed, would comply with the Comprehensive
Plan. The Board did not have to make those determinations
for individual projects. They only have to make that deter-
mination with respect to land development regulations. Mr.
Cannon confirmed Vice Chairman Lehnertz's statement that the
Planning Department will present the Board with recommen-
dations for amending the Comprehensive Plan in terms of
parks and recreation. Although they probably would not have
to do it un%il close to 1995, he added they will do that
now.

A. Consistency Review - Marine Canvas Sales and Fabrication
(pursuant to Chapter 163.3194 F.S.)
Mr. Cannon drew attention to requests from Don Jaeger,
Building Official, addressed to both the City Manager and
to Mr. Cannon proposing a zoning change. He also referred
the Members to a letter dated February 13, 1990 from William
W. Branch, Manager, Branch Management, P. O. Box 263,
Jupiter, FL 33468-09263 recounting a phone conversation he
had with the Building Official. Mr. Cannon determined that
Mr. Branch wants to establish the cutting of canvas covers
and other canvas fabrications on a custom basis for private
pleasure craft in C-3 zoning. Mr. Cannon said this would
require that the uses be amended. To do this, the Board
must review it for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan.
Mr. Cannon said the Comprehensive Plan allows similar uses.
Marinas are allowed in this land use category and in the
zoning district. It was his opinion any use typically found
an a marina could also be located in the C-3 zoning district
and still be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Discussion ensued between Mrs. Greenhouse and Mr. Cannon.
Mr. Cannon advised the Board would be making a recommen-
dation to the Commission that they made a finding of con-
sistency. The Board can make a separate recommendation as
to the desirability of the use in this particular zoning
district. Mrs. Greenhouse referred to them being in busi-
ness and was informed by Mr. Jaeger that they have been
cited by Code Enforcement. She noted sail making is

allowed in the C-4 zoning district. Mrs. Greenhouse was
concerned because this is C-3 zoning, and it borders on a
residential mrea~ She questioned what kind of sewing
machines they would use and what type of noise the business
could create. It was a great concern when they start to
allow previously industrial uses to go into a C-3 zone.
Mr. Richter felt it should be in the category of manufactur-
zng awnings and that type of canvas work, which normally is
C-4. He commented that people with campers and boats could
be lining up and felt it could be allowed in a marina or
maintenance type area. Mr. Richter did not feel it should
be adjacent to a residential area. Chairman Rosenstook
stressed this was manufacturing, and he explained.
Vice Chairman Lehnertz moved that the Board find the pro-
posed Ordinance amendment to allow marine canvas sales and
fabrication is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Mrs. Greenhouse seconded the motion, and the motion carried
6-0.
B. Timetable for Delivery of Agendas (Requested by
Murray Howard)
Mr. Howard complained that most of the time he gets the
agendas on Fridays. He has the weekends, and then Tuesday
is the Board meeting. Mr. Howard felt he needed more time
to examine the sites and make a determination as to what his
vote will be. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Cannon suggested that the Board wait until the
Concurrency Ordinance is adopted because with the require-
ments under that Ordinance for concurrency determinations
with the requirements to comply with the Palm Beach County
Traffic Performance Standard Ordinance, he thought there
would be drastic changes to %he whole timetable ~of project
review. In the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Standard Ordinance, the City has to allow the County Traffic
Engineer 30 days to revzew traffic impact statements. The
timetable for a new project that generates more than 500
trips per day is already set'back 30 days.
Mr. Cannon said the Board would get a copy of the Concurrency
Ordinance this month, and there will be a City Commission
and Planning and Zoning Board Workshop the beginnIng of May.
It was the consensus of the :Board to TABLE this matter.

Master Plan Modification (setbacks and lot size)
File No. 432
Delfin Menendez, agent for Citrus Glen Limited Partnership, has
requested a modification to the previously approved master plan
for the Citrus Glen P.U.D., as outlined in the attached
correspondence in Exhibit "A". Exhibit "B" outlines a revised
request that supersedes Exhibit "A". The modification requested
is desired to allow more marketable, larger, zero lot line homes
to be built on 70 of the 103 lots within the Citrus Trail plat
(those lots shaded on the master plan in ~xhibit "C"). Larger
homes cannot be accommodated on the 55 foot by 102.5 foot platted
lots which have approved setbacks of 20 feet in the front, 15
feet in the rear and 15 feet on the non-zero lot line side.
The 70 lots' where larger homes are desired have frontage on
either a 60 foot right~of-way (Citrus Amenue) or a 34 foot
right-of-way (Citrus Trail, Orange Drive or Temple Avenue).
Eight of the 70 lots have frontage on a 60 foot right-of-way
(Citrus Avenue) and 62 of the 70 lots hav~ frontage on a 34 foot
right-of-way. The' applicant is requesting approval of the
following changes ~or the two "frontage types": (Illustrations
of the applicant's request are provided in Exhibit "D".}
1) For the 62 lots with frontage on a 34 foot right-of-way
(Citrus Trail, Orange Drive, Temple Avenue)-
Reduce the rear setback ~rom 15 feet to 12 feet and reduce
the front setback from 20 feet to 18 feet. The previously
approved sidewalks within the right-of-way would remain and
would run along the front property li~e of these lots. (See
diagram 1.b. in Exhibit "D".)
2)
For the 8 lots with frontage on Citrus Avenue (a 60 foot
right-of-way)-
Replat Citrus Avenue reducing it from a 60 foot right-of-way
to a 50 foot right-of-way. The 10 feet gained would be
added to the lots on each side of the right-of-way To in-
crease their depth by 5 feet. The previously approved side-
walk and bike path would remain, but move 5 feet within the
reduced right-of-way. (See diagram 1.c. in Exhibit "D".)
The procedure for approving master plan modifications in planned
unit developments is twofold. First, the City Commission must
make a determination as to whether or no~ the changes requested
are substantial in nature. A determination of substantial change
on the part of the City Commission, which has sole discretion in
this ma==er, would require a new application for PUD. On the
other hand, a determination of no substantial change allows the
forwarding of the request ~o the Plan~ing and Zoning Board. This
procedure appears in Appendix B, Section 12 of the Code of
Ordinances.

With respect to the change requested by Mr. Menendez, the
Technical Review Board (TRB) met on March 6, 1990, to revzew the
plans and documents submitted and they are recommending that the
City Commission make a finding of substantial change for the
request to modify the front and rear setbacks for those lots with
frontage on a 34 foot right-of-way and that the applicant be
required to submit a new application for PUD. However, with
~veSpect to the request to reduce the right-Of-way width of Citrus
enue in order to increase the lot depth of those lots which
front on Citrus Avenue, the Technical Review Board recommends
that the City Commission make a finding of Do substantial change.
It was the consensus of the Technical Review Board that the
request to modify front and rear setbacks substantially alters
the nature of the original master plan approval and creates the
following problems:
1. The setbacks approved at the time of master plan
approval of this project, 20 feet in the front. 15 feet
in the rear and 15 feet on the non-zero lot line side
is the m~nimum standard for building setbacks lexcludes
screened enclosures, porches and pools) for zero lot
line homes for PUDs in the City. A reduction in
building setbacks for this PUD would be a deviation
from City standards and would set a precedent for
future PUD mas~er plans.
2. The Zoning Code requires 2 parking spaces for every
single family unit. Garages have been credited toward
providing t of the parking spaces; driveways provide
the other parking space as long as they mee~ the
minimum dimension requirements for parking spaces, 9
feet by 18 feet. with a front setback of only 18 feet,
a vehicle parked in a driveway more than likely would
overhang into the sidewalk that runs ~long the front
propert~ line unless the vehicle pulls up as close as
possible to the building. This is usually not
practical since room is desired to move around the
vehicle. Sidewalks on one side of the local streets,
the side of the street as the affected lots, were
previously approved, and provide the only pedestrian
the local streets. Therefore,
system ~or lots on
elimihating the sidewalk is not a solution to the
potential overhang problem since they are required
pursuant mo the Subdivision Regulations (unless other
adequate pedestrian paths are provided).
3. Reducing the rear building setback to 12 feet would
result in a 24 foot building s~paration between units
that back up to one another zn the rear. Distance
between buildings is always a concern to city ~ire-
fighters since small building separations encourage
spread of fire and prohibit access by certain fire
apparatuses, thereby reducing response time and
increasing property damage.
4. For those lots which back up to the collector road. the
main road through the PUD, approval of the reduced rear
building setback would allow units ~o be constructed 12
feet from the collector road right-of-way.
5. Several units are under construction having the
previously approved building setbacks. Although
tastefully staggered, building Eetbacks add interest to
the layout and design of a pro3ect, haphazard stagger-
· ng does not. A change in the front building setback
Page 2 of ADDENDUM B
J. Sco~ Miller
Planning Dept. Memoranduf~ No. 90-056, Page 2
Mar. 12, 1990
au this point could potentially lend disorder no the
layout of units yet ~o be constructed.
6. There is a 12 foot drainage and utility easement not
shown on the master plan that exists within the fron~
12 fee~ of the affected lots. As discussed in detail
in the Utility Depar~men~ memorandum in Exhibit "D", a
reduced front setback may result in having to relocate
water meners and could make servicing utility lines
with large equipment within this 12 foot easement
precarious.
7. There are additional staff commen~s in Exhibit "E",
which relate to the substantial nature of this request.
If the City Commission forwards and the Planning and Zoning Board
approves this request, in whole ox in parT, approval should be
subj ec~ to the attached staff commen~s from the Building

In response to the applicants request for g~idance relative to the plan sub-
mittal which included a quantity of two (2) alternatives for the 34' roadway
and s quantity of two (2) alternatives for the 60' R.O.W., my findings are as
follows:
1. The justification for modifying this Master Plan is a .self-imposed issue,
therefore,
a)
Alternates 1 & 2 of the 34' roadway areas are not acceptable. Alternate
~1 does not satisfy off-street parking requirements for parking area
dimensions and vehicles overhanging sidewalks pose a nuisance and a
hazard to pedestrians. Alternate ~2 for the 34' roadway areas, deletes
sidewalks that are required by subdivision and Platting Regulations. A
larger structure is not suitable justification for c~itting required
sidewalks. Drainage swales would ke reduced by 50% in Alternate ~1.
b)
Alternate ~1 for the 60' R.O.W. 's is not acceptable dueto non-compliance
with off-street parking requirements/dimensions. Alternate ~2 for the
60' R.O.W. is suitable and can he achieved through re-platting.

TRB Review - Citrus Glen Master
Plan Modification
In our opinion, the request to reduce front and/or rear setbacks
from previously established minimums constitutes a substantial
change in the Master Plan, and should require a public hearing so
as to encourage public input on this matter.
However, should the City Commission approve this change, we
request that front setbacks be reduced to not less than 18' and
rear setbacks to not less than 12', so as to prevent impacting
existing fire hydrants, water services and sewer services. With
an 18' front setback, the building would be within 6' of a
utility easement. In the event future repairs are necessary on
the water ~nd sewer utilities in the easement it is conceivable
that backhoes and other heavy equipment would have to operate
within 6' of someone's front door.
We respectfully request that the Commission consider this fact
when making their decision.

File No. 432
In addition to those issues raised by the Technical Review Board
and outlined in the staff report (Planning .Departmegt Memorandum
No. 90-056), please be advised of the followlhg Planning
Department staff comments with respect to the above-referenced
request for a master plan modification:
1. Approval of an 18 foot front building setback and 12
foot rear building setback would be a deviation from
the minimum standard for building setbacks within PUDs
(20 foot front, 15 foot rear and 15 foot on zero lot
line side) that has been the standard for PUD develop-
ment in the City.
2. The following aesthetic concerns are raised for
consideration when evaluating this request:
a. The construction of such a large unit on the lots
in this project will result in an almost 45% lot
coverage, the maximum which has generally been
allowed in PUDs. This will undoubtedly cause the
project to appear congested and overbuilt.
b. Market will control which unit size is constructed
on these lots. Therefore, if a reduced front
setback is approved, after units having the
reviouslv approved 20 foot setback are under
P ~ ~ staggered
construction, no orderly arrangement of
setbacks will result.
3. The Citrus Glen and Lawrence Grove PUDs have been a

The Hamlet of Boyn~on Beach
As outlined in the attached correspondence from Jay Felner, dated
April 2, 1990, the developer is requesting that the City
Com~ssion consider reducing the 25% Ba~ive habitat preservation
requirement to allow for the preservation of small scattered
pockets of micro-preserve. Although policy 4.3.5 of the
Comprehensive Plan is referenced, this policy concerns "A" rated
sites. The site is ~ctually show~ as a "B" rated site in the
Conservation Element of the city's Comprehensive Plan,
Therefore, the correc~ policy pertaining co "B" rated sites is
4.4.1 which states that "micro-preserves may be required oriented
to preservation of a minimum 25% of all native plant communities
which occur on site". Policy 1.11.14 of the Future Land Use
Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan also concerns
preservation of 25% of native habitats. In addition, it should
be noted that, because the site has been significantly disturbed,
it is not subject to the County or City's environmentally
sensitive lands .ordinances. The basis for this request is Policy
6.1.1 of the Housing Element, which is quoted on the second page
of this memorandum.
Concerning parks and recreation, the Recreation and Open Space
Element support Documents of the City's Comprehensive Plan
require that a five acre public park site be provided in the
northeast corner of the site. Instead of dedicating the five
acre public park site, the developer is propos!ng to construct an
intensified private recreation facility in the cenner of the site
which consists of seven items:
1. Recreation building
2. swimming pool
3. Tot lot (children's playground)
4. Picnic Area
5. Basketball courts (2)
6. Tennis court
7. Multi-purpose play field
Policy 1.8.2 requires that a parks and recreation dedication fee
be collected for pro]ec~s which are not sub3ec~ to the dedication
requirement contained in the Subdivision Regulations {rental
projects generally do no~ have ko be platted). Policy 5.5.5 of
the Comprehensive Plan requires the paymen~ of a parks and
recreation dedication fee in lieu of 4and dedication. The
formula for payment of the impact fee is contained in Article IX,
Section~8 of Appendix C-Subdivisions and Platting. If five
private recreation items are provided which mee~ the criteria
within the ordinance, a 50% credit can be granted toward the
payment of the impac~ fee to th~ City. The developer has met
Page 1 of ADD~NDUME
these criteria. Therefore, based on a dedication requiremen~ of
1.8 ~cres and a contracted land value of $1,125,000, the payment
to the City would be calculated as follows: $1,125,000 divided
by 23.6 acres equals $47,669,49/acre which multiplied by 1.8
acres equals a payment of $85 S05.08 to the City. The developer
is requesting that the City commission waive the $85,805.08 parks
and recreation fee.
The basis for the developer requesting the above exemptions and
waiver is policy 6.1.1 of the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element
which concerns provision of affordable housing:
Subsequent to plan adoption, establish
procedures to provide information, technical
assistance, and explore possibTe incentives
to the private sector to maintaina housing
production capaciby sufficient to meet the
Required production. These possible incentives
could include assistance in land assembly,
below-market rate financing, allowances to
build on nonconforming lots, and density
increases.
With respect =o the above, the developer's request is reasonable.
However, if it is the decision of the City Commission =o approve
this request, the Planning Department will need to amend the
Recreation and Open Space and Capital In~provements Elements of
the Comprehensive Plan to remove the five acre public park which
is proposed to be located on this property.

Dear Commissioners:
i'nis le~te_ ~ a formal request to the city commission to gra~t the
Ham.~et Joint Venture mncentives and creftit~ for the above mentioned
developm=~nt.
_The development, as submitted to the city for site plan approval,
meets or =--xceeds comprehensive plan policies in several areas. The
site as it currently =~ists is a "B" rated, envmronmentally sensitive
property. Policy 4.3.5 of the Comprehensive Plan requires that 25%',
of all native pl~nt commun/ties in "A" rated sites be prese~rved, ruue
~o ~ne re,Lng ~nc sc~zterad cond/tion of the e×ist~ng ecosystem on the
sz<e, <ne zenera! consensus at the pre!~minarx- technical re%~ew board
meeting was thac ~\~anded recreation facilities would take precedence
over saving 25% of intacn scrub habitat. The landscape pla~s submitted
sno~ small scattered pockets of micro preserve that ~%11 be !eft intact
Intense effort was extended in order to leave as mu~h micro preserve as
possible, as called for in policy 4.4.1 of the Comprehensive Plan, and
stil] allo%- the project to remain economically feasible.
A meeting was held ~th parks and recreation personnel to provide
specific criteria to guide the development and facilitation of the
recreation facilities for this oroject. The private recreation amenities
proposed are far in excess of t~e requiremenss of the Comprehensmve Pi~n
policy ~.5.2 for the 50% credit toward public Dark dedication. As a
result of the proposed site amenity package, a'waiver of the recreation
impact fee ms requested.

We firmly believe that this project more than adequately serves the
requirements of the cities comprehensive plan and wishes of it's
citizenry and respectfully request the commission grant the waiver
and credits outlined herein.

We have reviewed the master plan for the Hamlet P.U.D. The
following comments are submitted:
1. Based on 24 multi-family dwelling units, the recreation land
dedication is computed to be 240 x .0150 = 3.6 acres.
2. Based on the following recreation elements provided:

3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
swimming pool
recreation building
picnic area
tennis court
uurf play field
children's play area
basketball courts
We recommend one-half credit be provided.
The recreation impact fee will be determined based on
3.6 acres divided by 2 = 1.8 acres. As the development site
is fully developed and 1.8 acres for public parks dedication
are not available, it is not recommended that an acreage
dedication be required.
The developer is requesting a waiver of the fees required
for one-half credit. This is a policy issue which should be
addressed by the City Commission. The development has
provided privaue recreation facilities which exceed the
requirements for one-half credit. The acreage provided for
private recreation is 2.54 acres and should serve the'
development adequately as a neighborhood park.
The developer shall provide specifications on the recreation
elements indicated to ensure commercial quality equipment is
provided. This should be provided prior to final signoff of

RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSIONS
The project generates a total of t,465 ADT on the
surrounding roadway network. Based upon Table 1, none of the
surrounding roadways are operating below Level of Service "C".
Even with the additional traffic added to the major roadway
network all roadways operate at better than Level of Semvice
The peak hour turning volumes shown on pages 8 &. 9 indicate
that the P.M. peak hour volumes on N.E. 4th Street is g~eater
than 100 vehicle trips. Palm Beach County requirements
are whenever the peak hour turn .count is greater than 100
vehicles per hour, a right turn lane must be constructed. Page
10, indicates this requirement. Other than the right turn lane
being constructed on N.E. 4th Street into this project, ~o other
construction is warranted or recommended.
