Jim Golden, Senior Planner informed the Members that the
applicant had resubmitted a site plan. The addition had to
be relocated as it would have been over a sanitary sewer
main. At the last Technical Review Board (TRB) meeting, it
was noticed the relocation of the building at the area
chosen would create a setback encroachmenn. Therefore,
Mr. Golden recommended that the public hearing be continued
until the April meeting.

to the original copy of these minutes in the Office of the
City Clerk.) She limited her presentation to discussions of
the master plan design and to several key Comprehensive Plan
policies and Code requirements, which had not been reflected
on the master plan.
A copy of a letter from K. S. Rogers, Consulting Engineer,
Inc., 1495-Forest Kill Boulevard, Suite F, West Palm Beach,
FL 33406, dated March 13, 1990, had been distributed to the
Members. As a result of that letter, Ms. Heyden said the
six laning of Congress Avenue from Miner Road to Hypoluxo
Road would not be required. (See Addendum B attached to the
original copy of these minutes in the Office of the City
Clerk.)
Ms. Heyden read what would be required from the Planning
Depar%ment's Memorandum No. 90-053, dated March 9, 1990.
(See Addendum E attached to the original copy of these
minutes in the Off'ice of the City Clerk.) Ms. ~eyden stated
most of these improvements were either assured or in the
process of being assured.
It was recommended that the application for rezoning be
approved, subject to the Comprehensive Plan policies outlined
under item "a" of the section entitled "Issues/Discussion

Office of City Attorney
Raymond Rea, Former City Attorney, by memo dated January 12,
1990, wrote that he reviewed Mr. Golden's memorandum and
attachments and found they met the requirements of Sec. 6 of
Appendix B of the Code of Ordinances.
Questions by Members
Mr. Richter referred to the road impact requirements and
commented that they all seemed to be south of 22nd Avenue.
This project is north of 22nd Avenue on Lawrence Road. He
thought they would be more concerned with everything on
Lawrence Road rather than Congress Avenue. All of the other
roads seemed to be insignificant to this project, other than
t~ey might have some traffic toward that direction.
~n. Richter did not understand why they were getting road
~provements for ~he higher areas. Mr. Cannon replied that
a~parently, those-~inks and intersections are functioning at
th~ levels of service specified in the County's Traffic
P~rformance Standard Ordinance, which is Level of Service
(BOS) "C" on the links on an average annual basis and "D"
at the intersections at peak hours.
Mr. Richter questioned whether this meant if anybody does
anything any place in the City, it will impact the whole
Congress Avenue corridor and Boynton Beach Boulevard.
Mr. Cannon answered t~at any project that generates more than
500 trips a day will have to submit a traffic impact analy-
sis. If the levels of service he mentioned cannot be main-
tained and if the ~roperty puts more than 1% capacity of
roadway on any link,-improvements will have to be made either
to the link or to the intersection, whichever is required.
The improvements required for any particular project are a
fu~nction of the levels of service established by law and by
t~e trip distribution.
Mr. Richter and Mr. Cannon further commented about Lawrence
Road and Congress Avenue. Chairman Walshak did not think
the City's Engineer was taking into consideration the miss-
ing link in the opening of Miner Road. He thought that
would cure some Cf the traffic link congestion problems.
Chairman Walshak expounded on the need of an Engineer in the
City and further commented about Miner Road, Knollwood~,
and Citrus Glen.
Mr. Richter read from page 2 of Ms. Heyden's comments that
building permits for dwelling units cannot be issued for the
proposed project until contracts have been let for the
required roadway improvements as outlined above. (See

MARCH 13, 1990
Addendum E attached to the original copy of these minutes.)
Mr. Richter noted the improvements included not only the
left turn lanes that were mentioned but the six laning of
Congress Avenue from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Miner Road,
the six laning of Congress Avenue from Miner Road to Hypoluxo
Road, the four laning of Old Boynton Road from Knuth Road to
Lawrence Road, and the six lan~ng of Boynton Beach Boulevard
from Old Boynton Road to 1-95. Mr. Richter asked if all of
these improvements must be done before the applicant can
build. Ms. Heyden replied they must be assured. She
i~formed him that the improvements with asterisks by them
were-assured. Different projects will have the same require-
ments. It is possible this project will only be required to
build the turn lanes.
Chairman
Rea, the
it.
Walshak questioned the memorandum from Raymond
former City Attorney, and asked Mr. Elk to look at
Vice Chairman Collins looked at the section on schools and
wondered what kind of impact this would have on the
neighboring schools, based on all of the houses being put in
the different areas. Ms. Heyden referred him to the letter
dated February 15, 1990 from the School Board, which spelled
out what the impact would be. Vice Chairman Collins also
wanted to know what the cost per unit would be if someone
wished to buy a house.
The way Mr. Lehnertz interpreted the traffic analysis, it
was saying Lawrence Road would not be impacted by this
development. He questioned whether the traffic studies
took into account the other developments that had already
been approved but were not going to build out yet.
Ms. Heyden answered affirmatively. She added that the
studies were saying the development was impacting Lawrence
Road but not to the point where it was triggering four
laning of Lawrence Road.
From reading the School Board's letter, Mr. Lehnertz under-
stood the schools in the area are already overcrowded and
impacted. This development will further impact the schools
but he saw nothing from the applicant or the City that
addressed this. Miss Heyden thought the school was
pursuing policies to make this a requirement. Mr. Lehnertz
thought there should be school performance standards like
there are road performance standards, and he explained.
Further comments about schools were made.

Roger G. Saberson, Esq., 110 East Atlantic Avenue,
Delray Beach, FL 33444, representing Boynton Nurseries,
was sympathetic to the school issue but he thought a uniform,
consistent policy should be applied across the board. He
stated there is a brand new, as yet unopened school directly
across the street from this project, and no mention was
made of that at all. Their kids cannot go to that school.
When Mr. Saberson was previously before the Board on Citrus
Park, a letter was specifically directed to the School Board
on whether their kids %~ould be able to go the school. They
were told their kids must be bused, which he did not think
was right.
Mr. Richter referred to item 2 in the Planning Department's
Memorandum 90--053 (Page 1 of Addendum E) regarding the bond
for the signalization to enable safer pedestrian movement
from this ~roject to Palm Beach County School "P" located on
the opposiite side of Lawrence Road. ~e remarked they did
not know whether those children would be allowed to go to
that school. Mr. Saberson replied that so far, the develop-
ment's ki~s cannot go to that school, but the developer is
to provide 50% of the bonding of the cost for a pedestrian
light to ~ontrol the kids going across the street. It did
not make ~ense. Mr. Richter agreed.
Chairman Walshak asked if Mr. Saberson was in agreement with
all of the staff comments. Mr. Saberson questioned the last
paragraph ~in the comments from the Fire Department. (See
~ddendum C.) ge recalled what had been discussed was that
in the. event there was property damage done to their project
or landscape due to emergency vehicles coming through, the
developer .and property owner would not look to the City for
damages. Mr. Saberson stated they are perfectly agreeable
to that a~d are willing to enter into an agreement with the
City to t~at effect, but he thought the language should be
cleaned up. He understood the development had breakaway
gates so emergency vehicles can drive right through them.
~f the~e ~s any cost incurred for them doing it, the project
will bear t~e costs. That was their understanding, and they
will agree to that.
Mr. Lehnertz thought the Fire and Police Department memos
made i~ clear that the main loop road should be a public
road and not a private road. Mr. Saberson reminded everyone
that this same issue came ~p when they talked about the
Citrus Park project. At that time, they requested of the
City that their project be allowed to have private streets
due to the security concerns of potential buyers and in

light of crime occurring. He passed out to the Members
Policy 1.318 from the City's Comprehensive Plan and
paragraph 12, which is contained in the City's subdivision
regulations.
Directing the Board's attention to the Comprehensive Plan
policy, Mr. Saberson emphasized the words he highlighted,
which said the City shall require that major collector roads
in residential development projects be ~ned and
constructed as public roads wherever possible. He noted the
only road being discussed in terms of public or private was
the loop road coming off of Lawrence Road. There are two
entrances on Lawrence Road. Mr. Saberson could not see how
the public wo~l~ benefit by going off Lawrence Road, through
their residential project, and then ~o~t Lawrence Road. He
major arterial roads l~ke Miner Road and N. W. 22~d Avenue.
Arterial roa~s wouid~ be roads like Boynton Beach Boulevard,
Congress Avenue, a~d~F~deral Highway, so this did not
fall conceptually ~n~o~ what wo~ld'o~dinarily be termed a
collector ro~d. I~ ~e~tainly is not a major collector road.
Mr. Saberson did nQt think there would be a violation to the
City's Comprehensive Plan policy if this was permitted to be
a private road. The other provision he passed out to the
Members was a provision in the Boynton Beach Code shown to
them before, which.speci~ically said p~i~ate streets shall
be permitted within property under single ownership, such as
a property owners' association. Mr. Saherson thought the
Ordinances on. the City's .books permitted the applicant to
elect to have privat~ streets. The applicant wants that.
and Mr. Saberson thought it would be a very important feature
cf the development.
Enrico Rossi, Engineer on the project, Rossi and MaTavaasi
Engineers Inc:., 580 Village Boulevard, West Palm Beach, FL,
apprised the Members that he had been coordinating with the
Sturrocks in developing the master plan. It will be a
community with single family homes and zero lot line homes.
Mr. Rossi to.~d Vice Chairman Collins the prices will run
from about $i25,000 to $150 000. The multi-~amily portions
of the project will probably range between $90,000 and
$120,000o
Chairman Walshak asked how the Board Members felt about the
road. Mr. Zimmerman could see why the Fire and Police
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH

Departments want it to be a private road. However, he
could also see why the developer would want security.
Mr. Zimmerman thought it was a toss up.
Mr. Lehnertz thought it should be a public road. This looked
like a major collector road to him. It is collecting
traffic ~rom the entire development and running it onto two
places on Lawrence Road. As staff pointed out, there have
been numerous cases where roads have been dedicated to
~omeowners' Associations. The Associations have not been
able to keep them up, and they fall back on the City.
Mr. Lehnertz saw no reason for permitting this to be a
private road.
Mrs. Zibelli agreed with Mr. Zimmerman. It did not matter
to Vice Chairman Collins as long as the Fire and Police
Departments would have access in the event of an emergency.
Mr. Richter disagreed with Mr. Lehnertz, as he did not think
this was a major collector road. Mr. Saberson confirmed
Mr. Richter's understanding that the Homeowners' Association
in this project would take the responsibility for main-
taining the road. Mr. Richter saw no reason not to leave
this as a private road.
Mrs. DeLong agreed with Mr. Richter, as long as the Police
and Fire Departments would have access. Chairman Walshak
felt the same as Vice Chairman Collins. However, he thought
the community should be given the opportunity of saying
whether they wanted to shoulder the tax burden. Chairman
Walshak thought it was a much smaller road than the one in
Hunters Run and the one in Silverlake.
The consensus of the Board was 6-1 that the road should be
a private road. Mr. Lehnertz thought it should be public.
Chairman Walshak asked Mr. Saberson if he had a problem with
the hold harmless agreement being a deed restriction, and he
explained why it should be a deed restriction. Mr. Saberson
had no problem with subsequent purchasers being on notice of
the requirement. He thought they could work it out to be in
the nature of a public recorded agreement. Mr. Saberson
asked whether it could be on the plat. Mr. Elk advised that
would be binding on the property if the Comprehensive Plan
had the delineation of the hold harmless on all subsequent
owners of the property within that legal description, which
would be the plat. Mr. Saberson was agreeable with the
concept they discussed about what the hold harmless was
about.

Mr. Saberson had no problems with the staff comments from
the Engineering Department or with comment ~2 from the
Police Department.
Mr. Saberson requested relief from the second comment in the
Planning Department's Memorandum No. 90-053 (Addendum E) due
to the fact their kids are not permitted to go to Palm Beach
County School "P". He wished to discuss the 6th and 10th
comments in the memo but had no problems with the other
comments. With reference to comment 96, Mr. Saberson said
Comprehensive Plan Policy 5.5.5 does not mandate a public
parkdedication. That provision in the Comprehensive Plan
refers to a park dedication, a fee in lieu thereof, or a
combination could be approved by the City. Mr. Saberson
requested that the second comment be deleted.
Vice Chairman Collins understood the School Board's position.
The School Board is being caught in a tough situation
because of the NAACP's proposal in terms of schools not be-
lng equally divided between races. Vice Chairman Collins
elaborated. Mr. Lehnertz pointed out that the school will
have a playground and that will be a natural place for
children in the development to play. He did not think the
kids should cross Lawrence Road without signalization.
Mr. Zimmerman thought the biggest school problems would be
to the middle schools. Mr. Saberson suggested they leave
the condition there but make it applicable in the event the
children in the subdivision are permitted to go to the
school. At that time, the si§nalization ~ould be warranted.
If it would otherwise meet the Department of Transportation's
(DOT's) requirements, that would be fine. Mr. Zimmerman
thought that would be hard to control at a later date.
Mr. Cannon advised they would have to set a time.
Chairman Walshak asked whether the Board wished to give the
applicant relief or if they wanted comment 92 to remain as it
was. Mrs. DeLong asked if the School Board's property would
have a fence around it. Mr. Saberson answered that 3/4 of
it is fenced up to the front of the school. The rear area
of the school site is! fenced, according to the site plans
furnished to the applicant. The Members unanimously agreed
comment ~2 should remain as it was. Chairman Walshak
further commented.
With reference to comment ~6, Mr. Saberson did not have a
problem with the way the amount of acreage was computed.
He asked that they be treated the same as other developers
- 9
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 13, 1990
in the area. They have a private recreation facility of
2.84 acres for which they want credit, pursuant to the
City's Subdivision Code. He wanted to pay the remainder of
the required park compensatory payment to the City, as set
forth in the Subdivision Code, rather than dedicating the
park in the northeast corner of the property. He thought
every developer that has been in sc far along this corridor
has filed a similar approach with the City. Citrus Park,
across the street, was permitted to do this, and Mr.
Saberson s~ated this applicant wanted to do the same thing.
Mr. Cannon responded it wasa question of whether the City
would have a neighborhood park on the Lawrence Road corri-
dor. This was theCity's last opportunity to' get a park
dedicated~ Otherwise, the people would have to drive to
facilities along Congress Avenue. Private recreation facil-
ities do not provide all the facilities needed. Mr. Cannon
explained. These facilities have to be locate~ somewhere.
If the City does not have the land to buil~ the facilities,
the City will' not be able to meet the ~eVeis of service in
the Comprehensive Plan. Mr.. Saberson was not sure how he
arrived at the conclus%on this was the ~as~ available parcel
and the iast way the City Will ever .obtai~ia park here. If
they took the dedication fram this p~oper~, together with
the dedication that wiii be' reqUire~if~om ~he north, Mr.
Cannon said ~he CitY would have about a fi%e acre parcel.
Mrs. DeLong was willing to g® along with t~e reduction, as
she thought recreation in the center made sense. Mr. Cannon
reminded her it would be private recreation. According to
the City, Mr. Lehnertz said the City ~s supposed to have
6.75 acres of park for this size area. Because they are
part of a recreation area, they get 50% credit, which means
they only need 3.38 acres. They are only ~edicating 2.84
acres, which means the City is coming out 1/2 an acre short.
Mr. Lehnertz understood What they were doing was legal, but
he felt public parks were an integral part of BoyntOn Beach.
He did not think they should take money for public parks to
put it somewhere else.
Mr. Saberson advised this complied exactly with the City's
subdivision requirements. A man in the audience wished to
speak. Chairman Walshak informed him people zn the audience
would be given an opportunity to speak. Mr. Richter recalled
the City accepted a combination of funds in lieu of the
dedicated land on the project across the street but half of
10
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYIqTON BEkCH, FLORIDA MARC~ 13, 1990
their total land area would have been affected. That was
not the case in this application. Mr. Richter felt it was
a reasonable request of the City to try to get the 2.5 acres
on the north side of the applicant's Pod "B" along Lawrence
Road. He asked whether this could be worked out.
Mr. Saberson responded the City was over the six acres,
not under the six acres. ~nere are 5.3 acres of preserve
area over and above the 2.84 acres of park, over and above
the 3,375 acres of payment they would be required to make.
This resulted in the City being over five acres for preserve
area. Mr. Richter asked whether there would be an oppor-
tunity for the City to trade some of the preserve area for
recreational area. Mr. Saberson replied he could not
respond without talking to his client. He added it may be
possible for them to look at it when they get to the City
Commission level.
Mr. Lehnertz pointed out there was one problem in that the
native preserve area and recreation area are almost at odds
with one another. Discussion ensued about density and the
preserve area.
Chairman Walshak asked whether the Board wanted to hold the
developer to the 3.375 acres or let the developer go to
2.84 acres and give the City money for an impact fee. The
consensus was 5-2 in favor of letting the developer go to
2.84 acres and giving the City money for an impact fee.
Mrs. Zibelli had no problem with dropping it to 2.84 acres,
but she wished the City would use the fee for development of
a park. Mr. Lehnertz felt the developer should dedicate
3.375 acres to the City for a park. Mr. Zimmerman did not
think 3.375 acres was an unreasonable request.
Mr. Saberson had no problem with the first part of comment
~10. He clarified they had no problem with the turn lanes
but felt uncomfortable with the other conditions pertaining
to Congress Avenue, Old Boynton Road, etc. Mr. Saberson
suggested it would be best to defer that to the City
Commission. They appeared before the Commission in regard
to the Target store, and there was a long discussion about
traffic improvements along Congress Avenue.
Mr. Saberson told the Members this was the exact thing they
were afraid of when they appeared before the City Commission
in terms of who bears what responsibility. At that meeting,
the two requirements Target had to comply with were the slx
laning of Boynton Beach Boulevard from Old Boynton Road to
- 11
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 13, 1990
1-95 and the six laning of Congress Avenue from Hypoluxo
Road to Miner Road. The Commission did not require them to
do either of these things. One link they were required to
do was between N. W. 22nd and Miner Road on Congress Avenue.
On a good portion of this area, Mr. Saberson said they are
less than 1% of the traffic. They may be in the 2% range on
the other portion. Mr. Saberson did not feel this project
should bear the responsibility for those kind of major road-
way improvements that are so far removed in distance from
the project. Chairman Walshak thought they should leave
questions of this nature up to the County and City
Engineers.
Mr. Saberson was not disputing that the roads would not be
operating at the level of service. It was a question of the
responsibility of a particular project as it related to the
roads. He read the next to last paragraph from the Planning
Department's memo (Addendum E), which said building permits
for dwelling units cannot be issued for the proposed project
until contracts have been let for the ~equired roadway
improvements as outlined above. Mr. Saberson recalled
Target was to post a bond for one link on Congress Avenue
(N. W. 22nd Avenue to Boynton Beach Boulevard). He under-
stood that link was the responsibility of the Boynton West
project. Mr. Sabenson guessed it was an issue that should
go the Commission. Discussion ensued about traffic and the
area west of 1-95.
Mr. Saberson stated he was not asking the Board to make any
specific changes in the conditions right now. If the appli-
cation was going to be approved, Chairman Walshak wanted it
sent to the Commission with the proper language.
Mr. Golden clarified that the turn lanes were recommended by
the Consultant's Engineer, and they were reasonable. With
reference to the slx laning of Congress Avenue from Boynton
Beach Boulevard to Miner Road, commitments are on line to be
assured by other developers. From Boynton Beach Boulevard
to 22nd, it is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) on Military
Trail. From 22nd to Miner Road, it is the Shoppes of
Boynton. Those should be assured very soon. Once they are
assured, Mr. Golden said it will be the responsibility of
this developer to assure those improvements.
Referring to the six laning of Congress Avenue ~rom Miner
Road to Hypoluxo Road, Mr. Golden said the developer's
impact is less than 1%. There was an error in the City
Consultant's report. The City deleted that recommendation.
- 12
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYIqTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 13, 1990
It will not be required of this developer.
Target, they were over the 1%.
In the case of
The four laning of Old Boynton Road from Knuth Road to
Lawrence Road is on the County plan for 1991-1992 or 1992-
1993, so uhe County will be improving that. The slx laning
of Boynton Beach Boulevard from Old Boynton Road to 1-95 is
on the County's five year plan. The asterisks on the memo
indicate all of the improvements, with the exception of the
deletion oE Miner Road to Hypoluxo Road and the developer's
turn lanes,,are either assured or about to be assured. Once
they are assured, Mr. Golden said this developer will not
have to contribute to those improvements.
Mr. Golden referred to the paragraphs below those he had
just explained and said the first one related to additional
information to complete the studies. Information was sub-
mitted this afternoon that will likely address the incomplete
issues. The analysis of Walter Keller, the City's Traffic
Consultant, took over where the develop, er's Traffic Engineer
left off and completed the study.
The second and third paragraphs related to language in the
County's Ordinance. According to Mr. Keller and Palm Beach
County, the building permits are tied to a legendary contract
for the improvements in the County's Ordinance and not just
to the assurance of the improvements. The County Traffic
Ordinance ties that into the legend of the contract to
improve the road as far as the developer being able to pull
permits to start the project. The last paragraph related to
the City recommending to Palm Beach County that the developer
pay an impact fee. Mr. Golden further explained.
Chairman Walshak thought the next to last paragraph
relating to the building permits was probably the most
important paragraph. Mr. Golden informed him the paragraph
came from the County's Traffic Performance Standards
Ordinance, which is referenced in the City's Zoning Code.
That was confirmed by Palm Beach County and Mr. Keller.
Mr. Golden stated the County Ordinance requires that a
contract be let before the permit is issued.
Discussion ensued regarding traffic performance standards
and traffic. Mr. Cannon reminded the Members they were
talking about the Palm Beach County wide Traffic Performance
Standard, which went into effect on February 1, 1990 and
applies to any application submitted after that date. This
application was submitted prior to February 1st. The City's
13 -
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYlqTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 13, 1990
Zoning regulations incorporate by reference the format and
standards for traffic reviews used by Palm Beach County.
The City's Code does not go into detail as to when the
improvements have to be made. For projects that came in
after the Comprehensive Plan was adopted on November 7, 1989
and prior to February 1, 1990, Mr. Cannon said there was
some question as to what the law meant. He thought the
roads wontd~have to meet the levels of service set forth in
the Palm Beach County Ordinance. It was probably a gray
City. The City may~have leeway as far as the conditions of
approval.
Mr. Cannon advised that the Board could either take the
h~rd line which the Planning ~epartment did in its report,
(permits cannot be issued until the contracts for roads have
been let), or they could go to another position whereby
building permits would not be issued until a bond or other
surety is posted. Chairman Walshak asked how they would
arrive at a dollar amount on the bond. Mr. Cannon replied
That the City's requlroment is 110% of the improvement. He
did not know what Palm Beach County's was.
Mr.. Saberson informed Mrs. DeLong that their application was
filed ahead of the February 1st deadline. He had one last
item on the traffic. Chairman Walshak replied that was the
most important issue of all. Mr. Saberson stated the
following:
That the County Traffic Performance Standard Ordinance
did not apply to this project because the application was
filed prior to February 1, 1990.
The Comprehensive Plan specifically indicates that
concurrency under the Plan (meaning that the land develop-
ment has to be specifically related to the levels of
service) does not go into effect until June 1, 1990.
Mr. Saberson said they were ahead of that. Therefore,
it was not a legal requirement that the City impose this
kind of requirement on the applicant.
Mr. Saberson continued by saying the Palm Beach County
Traffic Performance Standard Ordinance, if it applied,
would allow phasing as long as they stay under a 1% impact.
He wanted at least the opportunity to phase, stay under the
1% impact and allow the amount of development they can do to
go forward. Mr. Saberson thought that was reasonable and
14 -

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 13, 1990
he did not see any reason why the City would deny the appli-
cant something the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Standard Ordinance, which purportedly the City was complying
with, would allow.
In terms
let, Mr.
respects:
of holding building permits until contracts are
Saberson requested that the City modify that in
two
1)
If the roadway improvements are to be done by a private
developer as indicated for some of the roads, that they
be allowed to go forward once the developer is close to
the required bond.
2)
That when one of these road links is shown in the Palm
Beach County five year road plan, it, in and of itself,
will satisfy the necessary requirement to allow the
project to go forward under the Department of Community
Affairs' (DCA's) concurrency requirements that were
adopted in November, 1989. Mr. Saberson believed the
requirement was that if a roadway is shown in the
County's or a governmental five year road plan and
improvements are to be done within the first five years
of that plan, a p~oject can go forward.
Mr. Lehnertz asked Mr. Saberson what he would say to tying
certificates of occupancy to the roads being completed.
Mr. Saberson answered that part of the process the. State has
just gone through is trying to balance so developments can
be allowed to go forward with reasonable assurance that
roadways and other public facilities required by concurrency
will be in place. One way they struck the balance was if a
government has put that road link in thsir five year plan
and in the first three years of that plan, they have said
they will build the road, the State has said that is a
reasonable balance in terms of the public and private
interests involved. Therefore, a property owner can get a
building permit to build it. If the government fails to
build the road they said they would build, they would not
hold up the certificates of occupancy.
Chairman Walshak asked if Mr. Cannon would have any problem
with the posting of the required bonds by private contrac-
tors zn the five year plan. Mr. Cannon had no problem with
that, but if the applicant was proposing to phase the
project, a traffic impact statement snowing the phasing
would have to be submitted. Mr. Saberson promised it would
be submitted within a couple of days.

MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 13, 1990
Chairman Walshak clarified for the Board that they were
talking about the posting of bonds by individual contractors
on the road links they are going to build, plus the links
that are being State or Federally funded. Once the links
are in place in the five year program, the contractors are
released from this. The consensus of the Board was 5-2 in
favor of this. Mr. Lehnertz and Mr. Zimmerman were against
it.
Mr. Zimmerman thought they had a legal question, and he
reminded Chairman Walshak they had not had the public hear-
ing. Chairman Walshak wished to find out what direction
they were going in before having the public hearing. Then
it would be easier to modify what they had been talking
about.
Chairman Walshak asked whether any of the Members had any
problem with the last paragraph in Addendum E, where the
City was recommending that the City's impact fee be credited
toward any of the roadway improvements listed above. The
Members agreed to this.
Chairman Walshak asked Mr. Elk to look at this and be
prepared to give the City Commission some direction.
Mr. Saberson referred to the memo from Raymond Rea, former
City Attorney, and pointed out it said the applicant met the
requirements. He added that they attached the de~d to the
application. If further information was needed, Mr. Elk
should let him know.
Chairman Walshak asked if anyone wished to speak against
the application.
Jeffrey Pheterson, 4403 White Feather Trail, indicated where
he lives on the overlay. He stated it is a unique, quiet
area, currently zoned Agriculture/Residential. Some of the
streets have standard sized suburban lots, and some parcels
run from 2½ acres to ten acres where people raise horses and
dogs. Approximately sixty families live in that area.
In general, Mr. Pheterson said residents in his neighborhood
agree with the concept and configuration of the project.
This is the first time the City has ever abutted their
neighborhood. Their primary concern was that people in this
residential development may wish to come into their neighbor-
hood to get out to the Publix being built on Le Chalet
Boulevard and Military Trail. He referred to Sun Up Trail
(still known as Old Military Trail), which zs a shellrock
road, which is the only way into their neighborhood.

MINI3TES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD

Mr. Pheterson expressed the same concerns raised by the
F~re, Police and Sanitation Departments. If there is any
ability to have access for purposes Of traffic, he Was
concerned people woULd take advantage of it. Mr. Pheterson
preferred a permanent barrier, which couLd include moving
the street ove~. He suggested that the loop road be no
closer than whatever a s~a~dar'd single family lot would be
and said a low patch of shrubs as a barrier would not be
acceptable.
If Miner Road were to be developed into a significant road,
Mr. Pheterson thought there would be less concern for Police
and Fire circulation, and he explained.
Even though their neighborhood only has access off Military
Trail, Mr. Pheterson said they would prefer that the City
have a neighborhood park rather than take the money. The
land is more valuable than the money that would be paid.
In speaking with the Recreation Director, Mr. Pheterson said
Knollwood Groves could be required to give an equivalent
amount of land. The school across the street does not
alleviate the concerns for recreation in the area.
Mr. Pheterson elaborated.
Mr. Pheterson had no objection to the private roads. He
showed how there could be access to the public park and
still retain the security feature that his neighborhood did
not object to.
Mr. Pheterson agreed there will be after hours use of the
elementary school, although the general elementary school
population currently goes to Galaxy Elementary. He under-
stood this school would have a high concentration of students
in the gifted student program. Mr. Pheterson pointed out
they do not know what the future may hold.
Mr. Pheterson requested an identification of what the major
valuable trees in the preservation are now. He expounded.
Their big concern was vehicular traffic.
Mr. Saberson responded that the issue of having access from
their project onto Old Military Trail was raised early in
the process. The City Staff agreed, and he thought the
people living in the portion of the County Mr. Pheterson
represented understood there would be no access from the
applicant's project onto Military Trail. The plan was
changed to reflect there would be no access. Even though
Mr. Pheterson's neighborhood was represented at every TRB

BOYI~TON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 13, 1990
meeting, the issue of redesigning the ptan, moving the road,
and changing the total design of the area was never raised.
The project has been in the planning stages for months, and
they were now at the llth hour. Mr. Saberson thought it was
inappropriate to raise that issue at this point and time.
They have agreed to no access except the emergency access
which the Police and Fire Departments requested.
Mr. Golden clarified what the intent was in that area and
summarized it meant they could not access readily from the
east but if they had to come from the west, there would be a
means to do it. It would not allow anybody to drive through
the neighborhood. Prior to the Commission meeting, Mr.
Cannon said they can try to get from the Police and Fire
Departments what type of barrier they would find acceptable.
Chairman Walshak asked Mr. Saberson about moving the gate
back. Mr. Saberson replied that the Board previously
discussed that issue and indicated they would not nee to
have a park at that location. If the Park would not be
required at that location, moving the gate back would become
a moot point. Mr. Saberson aIluded to the City needing
money and remarked that people in the County do not pay City
taxes.
Mr. Saberson called attention to the 5th comment in
Mr. Hallahan's memorandum ~90-107 (Addendum F), which
referred to the tree survey. He had no objection~to that.
As no one else wished to speak in opposition to or in favor
of the application, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Lehnertz had a number of reservations about this. The
development is proposing a density of 4.77 units per acre.
Mr. Lehnertz read the densities of the surrounding proper-
ties. While the project was within guidelines, it was more
dense than the surrounding areas. He thought they should
decrease density in the western areas of the City as opposed
to increasing it in the central area, where it would make
more sense.
Mr. Lehnertz pointed out the City is giving up park land.
In the future, the money will be gone, and the City will
have no land. Land for parks should be considered as an
intsgral part of the City's overall plan and should be
required and asked for. Mr. Lehnertz felt there were too
many loose ends for him to be comfortable with this. There
was discussion about density.

understood (in the meetings Mr. Rossi attended) that for

sanitary sewer down, there would be no off-site costs for the
water and sewer to his client. By the way it was stated in

3. The types of trees planted over the underground utilities
may have to be changed after review by the Utility
Department.
4. Non-potable water must be used for all landscaped areas.
Vincent Finizio, TRB Member for the Engineering Department,
noticed the sign package included traffic control devices,
handicapped signs, and stop signs. He asked the Board to
defer the review and approval of the sign package to the
Engineering, Police, and Building Departments because they
adopted Florida Statutes 316.0747. Mr. Finizio read the
- 26 -
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 13, 1990
Statute and said the devices, as shown, did not conform to
those standards. The TRB wanted the opportunity to insist
that the devices conform to minimum standards.
Chairman Walshak had no problem with that, and a question
arose as to whether this could be added as a staff comment.
Mr. Richter asked if the permitting process required that.
Mr. Pinizio answered affirmatively but added that the impli-
cations of having the P~Z Board approve them gives a problem
in-house. He also asked that the Planning Department not
forward any more decorative traffic control devices to the
P&Z Board so this confusion would not be caused in the
future. Mr. Finizio told Mr. Cannon these were not included
in his sign package. Ms. Heyden responded that at the TRB
meeting, the applicant was told if h~ got his sign program
in p~or to the Community Appearanee Board's (CAB's)
deadline, he would not ha~e to go back through site,plan
approval for th~ Sign~pr~qram. The applicant d~d this.
Ms. Heyden advised that ~Mr. Finizi6'S commenAs could be
addressed a~ part of ~tYe sign off ~s long as his comments
were ~oted for the record.
Chairman Walshak thought Mr. Finizio had a valid point.
Mr. Golden replied the~ must comply when they come in for
the issuance of a permit. Mr. R~ehter thought the Board
eould get by with noting Mr. Finizi~'s comment in the
record. Ms. Heyden reminded everyone to keep in mind that
the p~rpose of the sign program was sort of a conceptual,
visual:presentation. There woul~ be an opportunity for the
detai~s to be worked out, Chairman Walshak thought Mr.
Finizio~s point was well taken, but said it would be a staf~
comment. Discussion e~sued between~Chairman Walshak and the
Planning Department about aesthetics, Mr. Cannon stated
that the CAB was established to discuss aesthetics.
Howard Perlman, Robert U. Jones Corp., 1535 S. E. 17th
Street, ~206, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316, agreed with the
staff comments. He assured Mr. Richter the parking lot
problem had been resolved. Comments were made about the
apartments.
Roger Saberson, Esq., 110 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray
Beach, FL 33444, did not think many people from Silverlake
knew this was on the agenda. He would not have known if he
had not been here for something else. Mr. Saberson thought
the people of Silverlake would feel more comfortable with
the project if the wall was at least kept along the south

border of the property. They probably would have no objec-
tion to it being eliminated in other areas.
Mr. Saberson asked the Board to consider the parking located
where it is (near residences in Siiverlake), the elimination
of the six foot wall, and putting in a two foot berm will in
no way provide an equivalent noise buffer.
Ralph Marchese, former Mayor, 1901 Roma Way, thought this
would have an impact on the surrounding communities. He
referred to the developer coming in at the last minute and
saying he was gQing to change things. Mr. Marchese felt
that was short changing the people and the City. He asked
the P&Z Board'to take those things into consideration with
re~ard to all developers. If developers make a commitment,
they should live with it~.
Mrs. Zibelli had a ~roblem with blank walls, and she alluded
to the wall i~ back of the Mall. If the wall remains, there
should be foliage to cover the wall. Mr. Marchese further
commented. M~s. Zlbelll thought the developer should get
with the peopte in ~the area that are objecting.
Chairman Wals~ak alluded to Casa Blanca. He explained
that once the projects begi~, developers come back for site
plan amendments. Chairman Walshak thought a recommendation
should go to ~he City Commission that site plan amendments
on multiple f~mily residential areas should be published so
citizens could see what is happening.
Mr. Perlman ~ealized the comments were general. He apprised
the Members t~e applicant is~ new in this area. Reputation
is important to them. Mr. Perlman told the Members the cost
of the ameni%ies in this project was substantially increased.
Every change brought to the Board was designed to enhance
the project. They took the wall out, but Mr. Perlman said
they added beams, landscaping and trees. They hired a
nationally fa~mous Landscape Architect, tripled the s~ze of
the swimming ~ool, added a tennis court and volleyball
court, which prompted them to increase the parking lot s~ze.
Going through another hearing will be expensive and time
consuming. Mr. Perlman hoped they would not have to do
this. He st~ed they build and operate the units for five
to seven years. It would degrade them to hurt the neigh-
borhood they are in. Mr. Perlman further elaborated about
the changes.
With reference to the wall comlng down, Mr. Perlman agreed
with Mr. Marchese that they did save some money, but the
- 28 -

density of the landscaping will provide a sense of security
for the people living inside the project. After expounding,
he said the extra color band was removed from the building
because they did not like the way it looked.
Mr. Marchese recalled the concern of the people was
unbelievable when this property was rezoned to what it is
now. It was his opinion it should have been incumbent upon
the developer to contact the people who would be immediately
affected and who raised many questions. Mr. Marchese had
no problem with anything except the wall. He urged the
Board not to buy changes at the last minute, especially when
they are such controversial subjects.
Mr. Saberson did not think anyone in the surrounding areas
objected to improvements interior to the project or which
benefit it. However, other changes affected externally this
project. Elimination of the wall was a material con-
sideration when this property Was rezoned. Mr. Saberson
thought the people in Silverlake and Leisureville would be
~o~cerned that one of the major points of concern when the
rojec~ originally came through.was now being eliminated
~ecau~ it would cost t~ss. Re ~epeated prior statements.
_As Mr. Saberson lives in the subdivision on the south side,
he told Mrs. Zibelli that was the side he was concerned with.
Mr. Marchese lives on the east and was concerned about the
east side. If the wall was a major concern, Mr. Saberson
stated it should not be eliminated now. This is a chipping
away o~f the conditions that were approved at the time the
project was originally approved, and it should not be
permitted. Mr. Saberson was sure there was discretion, under
the si~e plan standards and the Code, for the provision of
variou~s screens and buffers. After elaborating, he asked
the Mea~bers to exercise that discretion in terms of
mainta~in~ng the wall.
Mr. Golden clarified that the wall was never a Code require-
ment or condition of approval. It was something the
developer wanted to do at the time of the original site plan
approval. There was discussion about the Landscape
Architect. Mr. Perlman called attention to the fact that
they only had a week until the Commission would hear this.
He suggested they meet to try and resolve something.
Mr. Perlman told of driving around projects with the
Landscape Architect and representatives. The ones they
liked had berms and landscaping.

Chairman Walshak questioned how a two foot berm would hide
a 25 foot building, Mr~ Perlman replied it'woutd be done
With the ,ineorporatio~ of trees., shrubs, etc.. Wi~h regard
~o the walt on the south property side, he said he would be
happy to talk with those people3.
~Chalrman Walshak reiterated prior statements about site
plan changes which benefit developers and cheapen the
p~ojects~ He though~commu~it~es ~ould he'alerted, that
this kin~dOfthinqis~app~n~ing.- Chairm~n ~alshak was not
saying it ~as h~ppening in thi~ e~se.
Mrs. Zibelli suggested that Mir. Perlman meet with the people.
Mr. Zlmmerman felt a wall om the south and east sides would
help. Mr. Lehnertz felt uncomforcable approving or dis-
approving this on the basis that he was concerned about the
end result looking good and being adequate to shield the
project ~rom its n~igh~ors. Peop~ who had been at the
meeting earlier expressed conuernS~a~Out design changes.
Mr. Zimmerman advised ~h~t the people were from Golfview
5arbour, so this project Would aff~c~ three developments.
Mr. R~eh%er thought a Well lahdscape~ berm with trees would
be mo~e aesthetic.and as good a buflf~r as! any wall would be.
Mr. Jaeger apprised the MembeTs th~% the Urban Forester/
Horticulturist assured him the landscape plans are much
bmpr~ed over the original site plan that was approved by
the Board and the City Commission. He noted the issues
being~discussed were mostly aesthetic in nature and advised
they should be addressed by the Community Appearance Board
(CAB) rather than this Board.
Mr. Saberson stated it was one thing to say there is not a
Code requirement saying there must be a wall. It was
another to say there is no Code requzrement relating to the
existence of screens and buffers, including walls and land-
scaping between subdivisions. That was an exercise of
discretion in the City's site plan standards. After elabor-
ating, Mr. Saberson said the applicant was substituting a
two foot berm with plants on top of it for a six foot wall.
In no way would that be an equivocable noise buffer.
Mr. Perlman confirmed Chairman Walshak's understanding that
he (Perlman) will meet with representatives of the various
communities surrounding this project prior to the CAB
meeting. There was discussion. Mr. Saberson asked whether
the Board was approving the wall or suggesting they would
approve the elimination of the wall. Chairman Walshak did
not know what the Board would approve.

Boynton Nurseries - Rezoning Request - File No.
385
INTRODUCTION
The Boynton Nurseries property is located at the northwest corner
of Lawrence Road and the L.W.D.D. L-21 canal. Applications for
annexation, land use amendment, and rezoning for the subject
property were submitted to the Planning Department last October
for the City's twice a year deadline for land use amendments
requiring state review. After approval by the City Commission on
December 19, 1989, the Planning Department forwarded the land use
amendment request to the state, which is currently conducting
their review. Upon a favorable response from the state, the City
may then approve ordinances for annexation, amending the Future
Land Use Plan to a "Low Density Residential" category, and
rezoning the proper~y ~o AG, Agriculture.
The subject request, submitted by Roger Saberson, agent for
Boynton Nurseries, is for rezoning of the Boynton Nurseries
proper=y from the pending AG zoning to Planned Unit Developmen~
with a Land Use Intensity: 4 (PUD w/LUI=4). The 83.85 acre =rac=
of land has a ~ 1,993 foot frontage on Lawrence Road and is
occupied by a container nursery, including associated ~reenhouse
and maintenance buildings and a single family home for the
nursery caretaker.

PROCEDURE
This reques~ for rezoning is being processed consistent with
Section9.C of Appendix A, Zoning, entitled "Comprehensive Plan
Amendments; Rezonin~s" and Section 10 of Appendix B, Planned Unit
Developmenus entitled "Procedures for Zonin~ of Land uo PUD".
~UTURE LAND USE
AS previously discussed, approval of a "Low Density Residential"
land use designation, allowing a maximum of 4.84 dwelling units
per acre, is pending approval from the Department of Community
Affairsand subsequent ordinance readings by the City co, lesion.
The zoning requested, PUD w/LUI=4, proposing a gross density of
4.77 dwelling units pez acre, is consistent with the "Low Density
Residential" land use. It is anticipated that, if the subject
rezoning is approved, second reading of the ordinance to rezone
to PUD will occur immediately following second readings of the
ordinances to annex, amend the future land use plan, and rezone
uo AG, Agriculture.
PUD ZONING AND MASTER PLAN (See Exhibit B: for Copy of Mas~er
Plan Submitted)
The applicant is proposing to rezone from AG, Agriculture {pending)
co Planned Unit Development with a Land Use Intensity=4 (PUD
w! LUI=4). A discussion of the pUD mas~er plan submitted follows.

The uses proposed in the planned unit development and the
acreages devoted to each, including pod net densities where
applicable, are as follows:

units/
The master plan provides for the construction of 162 single
family units (40.5% of total units proposed) and 238 multi-family
units [59.5% of total units proposed) to be located in 5
residential tracts within the PUD. The master plan reflects an
option on pod C of 88 units - duplexes or multi-family units or a
mixture of the two. Because the applican= is processing this
application for speculative development by future buyers, the lot
layout for the single family pods has not been determined, only
the minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet, which is consistent
with recently approved PUD masuez plans. The maximum building
height will be two stories (not to exceed 25 feet) for all single
family and duplex units ~nd four s~ories (no= to exceed 45 feet)
for all multi-family units.
Access and Internal Traffic Flow
Entrance to the PUD is via ~n 80 foot wide, private, collector
road which loops through the PUD intersecting with Lawrence Road
at two points; a north PUD entrance which aligns with Citrus Glen
Drive and a south PUD entrance which aligns with the entrance to
the Citrus Park PUD. Branching off this loop road is a 50 foot
wide, private, local road which provides access uo a private
recreation area and single family home pod A. This 50 foot local
road terminates into another private loop road. Since the PUD
Page 3 of ADDENDUM A
Planning Dept. Memorandum No. 90-052
March 7, 1990, Page 4
does nou join unsu~divided land to the west which would have
required that the local street through pod A be extended to the
project boundary to connect with Old Military Trail, a stabilized
access only is to be provided to serve this purpose. This
al6ernative access design links the small private loop road to
Old Military Trail to provide continuity between the PUD and the
existing street network in tM area for emergency purposes while
discouragzng through traffic.
Recreation
Based on the number and t!rpe of units proposed, a total of
6.75 acres ~s required to be dedicated for parks and recreation
purposes. A 2.84 acre private recreation area is proposed to
receive a 50% credit pursuant to Section 8, Article IX, of
Appendix C. This private recreation area is centrally located
within the PUD and includes the following minimum five
recreational amenities:
2.
3.
4.
swimming pool
recreation center building
family pzcnic areas with or without children's play
apparatus
5. landscape park-like and quiet area
The remaining 3.375 acres are required to be dedicated to
satisfy the total park dedication requirement (see further dis-
cussion of land dedication under ,.Issues/Discussion" item (a)).
TopoGraphy, Soils and Vegetation
The site is nearly level with the lowest point occurring at the
southeast corner of the property (ground elevation 16.31) and the
highest point occurring at the northwest corner (ground elevation
18.00); a net change in elevation of 1.69 feet. Four types of
poorly drained, sandy soils exist and vegetation differs greatly
between the easuern portion and the southwestern portion of the
site. Approximately 75% of the site is being cultivated as a
nursery operation. The remaining 25% of the site (the south-
western portion)is natural vegetation typical of a South Florida
pine flatwoods co,unity. Unfortunately, this native habitat has
been disturbed by fire, invaded by exotics (Florida Holly) and
recently damaged by the property owner who attempted to remove
the Florida Holly using heavy machinery. Three areas within pod
A have been designated on the master plan to reflect those
natural areas in best condition and mosu desirable to preserve.
Drainage
A schematic drainage and storm water retention plan has been
submitted. On-site retention will be handled in two snormwatez
management tracts (lakes) before flowing into the L.W.D.D. L-21
canal along the south property line of the site. Water levels
will be controlled by an outfall control structure in the small
lake closest to the L-21 canal. Littoral zone plantings will be
installed around a minimum of 50% of the lakeshore area.
Potable Water Distribution
The site will be served with water by connecting to an existing
16 inch water main located on the easn side of the Lawrence Road
Page 4 of ADDENDUM A
Planning Dept. Memorand~No. 90-052
March 7, 1990, Page 5
right-of-way and looped by connection to an existing 16 inch
water main on Old Military Trail.
sewaqe Collection
The site will-be served by connecting to an existing gravity
sewer on the west side of the Lawrence Road right-of-way. The
proposed on-site System will also be a ~ravity sewer which will
connect to the existing Lawrence Road sys=em.
Schools
The Palm Beach County School Board has reviewed the proposed PUD
and has indicated that students ~enerated by this project will
further overcrowd the assigned elementary and senior high schools
in this area. In the past, the School Board has not supported
approval of residential developments having a negative impact on
existing school facilities without contribution of funds or lands
ko partially offset that impact. TheSchool Board scares that
they will continue to actively pursue a policy of providing
adequate school facilities for all the children of palm Beach
County (see Exhibit "C" for their analysis].
Traffic Analysis
The traffic analysis submitted by the developer was reviewed by
Walter H. Keller, Jr., Inc., the city's traffic consultant, =o
determine consistency with the 1989 City of Boynton Beach
Comprehensive Plan (ordinance 89-39) and Section 9.C.4.h(5) of
Appendix A-Zoning. A copy of the Mr. Keller's report can be
found in Exhibit "D" of this memorandum. The required roadway
improvemen=s are listed in Exhibit "E".
ISSUES/DISCUSSION
Section 9.c.7 of Appendix A, Zoning, of the Code of ordinances,
requires the evaluation of rezoning requests against criteria
related to the impacts which would result from the approval of
such requests. These criteria and an evaluation of the impacts
which would result from the proposed develcpmen~ are as foIlows:
a. Whether the proposed rezoning would be consisten= with
applicable Comprehensive Plan policies. The Planning
Departmenu shall also recommend limitations or requirements
which would have to be imposed on subsequent development of
the property, in order to comply with policies contained in
the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable
Comprehensive Plan policies subject tc several provisions
relative to recreation, ln=ernal vehicular circulation and
traffic impac=s. First, with respect to recreation, the
remaining 3.375 acres required by the Subdivision Regulations for
parks and recreation are needed in the northeas= corner of the
pro3ect for a neighborhood park (public) to meet the level of
service (L.O.S.) for parks and recreation in this area. This is
not reflected on the master plan submitted. The Comprehensive
Plan (Policy 5.5.5.) requires park dedication of 6 acres/i,000
persons, which is further refined in Section 8, Article IX, of
=he subdivisibn Regulations. The private recreation facilities
to be provide~ satisfy the 2.5 acre/I,000 population L.O.S. for'
neighborhood facilities but not the total park dedication
requirement of 6 acres/i,000 population. In addition, the City
builds recreational facilities such as baseball fie-lds,
basketball cour=s, playgrounds, etc., that are not typically
provided in private recreation areas. The comprehensive Plan has
levels of service for all types of recreation facilities, which
will require land on which th~se facilities can be built.
Page 5 of ADDENDUM A
Planning Dept. Memorandum No. 90-052
March 7, 1990, Page 6
Since the minimum size required for a neighborhood park is 5
acres, the 3.375 acres required from Boynton Nurseries and an
anticipated 2 acres that will be required upon annexation, land
use amendment, and rezoning of the Knollwood Groves property di-
rectly to the north, would be the last opportunity for the City
to acquire, by dedicatioN, enough park acreage to build a
neighborhood park in the vicinity of Lawrence Road. The location
of the remaining 3.375 acres in the northeast corse! ~f ~he PUD,
abutting Lawrence Road, not only minimizes intrusion 1nrc the
PUD, but would enable the co~ination of the acreage with park
dedication in the Southeastco~ner of Knollwo6d Groves which
would meet the minimum size required ~or ~ ~e~,,o~ood park (See
Recreation Department staff comments in Exhibit E ).
Aisc related to recreation is Policy 5.5.3. of the Comprehensive
~lan, which requires that all res~dentsofa project, have ~cc~ss
to at least a ~ortion of the privat~ recr~at%on areas provlde~,
unless similar public facilities (such as the public park in the
northeast corner of t~e PUD) are 10ca~ed ~m~hl~ a 1/~.mlle
walking distance. Therefore, the. ~va~lab~ll~y'of prlvate
r~creaticn facilities to all residents of ~he pUD aisc needs to
be Specified to ensure consistency with the Cemprehens~ve Plan.
With respect to vehicular clrculation within the pro~ec~, the 80
foot collec=or road shown on the master plan ,is proposed to be
private rather than public which is inconsistent w~th Policy
1.3.8. of the comprehensive Plan. Publi6~t~eet~ provide
continuity with the e~isting street netw0~k ~n t~e ~ity~ promo=e
safet~ through ~iterna%e routes during u~ili~y repairs and.
e~ergencies, enable pdblicco~enier~ce (particularly for C~y
S~rvices) and better integrate the P~oject i~to the.commun~ y.
P~blicdedication ~of this Collector~oad~is aiso]cons~stent with
the Subdivision Regulations and wilklnot e~courage ~h~ough
traffic; ~ince the collector is a loop rca .
A disadvantage to having private streets is that future road
m~intenance costs are seldom antici~ated~by home owners' assoc~a-
tlons who.must maintain them. The City has been approached'on
several occasions by home owners associations respensible for
maintaining the private streets within t~heir'development project
to pursue dedicating their streets to the public, long after the
development has been established- ~here~ose, as s~at~ ~e
Fire Department and Police DePartment sta~
"~"% it is both desirable and'possible~or ~he ~u ~oot co£±ec~or
~oa~'tc be dedicated as a public right'of-way consistent with the
~ity's Comprehensive Plan.
Wi'th respect to traffic impacts that the. proposed PUD will have
on the existing roadway system, several off-site road improve-
ments are required for consistency With ~he Comprehensive Plan
and Code o~ Ordinanc~s as previously noted under Traffic
Analysis'~ on page 5. These require~ roadway improvements are
listed in Exhibit "E".
b. Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the
established land use patnern, or would create an isolated
district unrelated to adjacent_ and nearby districts, or
would constitute a grant of special privilege to an
individual property 6wner as contrasted with pro=ection of
the public welfare.
The proposed rezonin9 to Planned Unit Development with Land Use
Intensity: 4 would be consistent with the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan and the pending "Low Density Residential" land
use category allowing a maximum density of 4.84 dwelling units
per acre as the proposed master plan reflects a maximum gross
Page 6 of ADDENDUM A
Planning Dept. Memorandum NO. 90-052
March 7, 1990, Page 7
density of 4.77 dwelling units per acre. This request is compat-
ible with the established land use pattern and zoning distric=s
in the vicinity on the east side of Lawrence Road, described
previously under "Surrounding Land Use and Zoning", page 1.
c. %~hether changed or changing conditions make the proposed
rezonlng desirable.
~e Lawrence Road area of the City's reserve annexauion area is
experiencing increased land speculation and urbanization,
Although the applicant requested AG zoning at the time of
submitting applications for arn/exation, l~nduse amendment
and zoning last fall, it was the applicant's intent to
request PUD zoning soon after submitting these pending
applications. Agriculture zoning was considered an
a~propriate holding category in light of the current uses on
the site, until a master plan, required for submitting an
application for pUD zoning, could be prepared.
d. W-nether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with
utility systems, roadways, and other public facilities.
The proposed rezoning would be compatible with utility systems,
roadways, and other public facilities, subject to the staff
comments in Exhibit "E".
e. Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with the
current and~future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or
would affect the property values of adjacent and nearby
properties.
As previously discussed in issue "b", the proposed rezoning would
be compatible with the current and future use of adjacent and
nearby properties and would be likely =o increase proper=y values
of adjacent and nearby properties.
f. Wh~ther the proper~y is physically and economically
developable under the existing zoning.
Under the pending AG zoning category, the properuy could be
utilized for a varietyof agricultural oz conservation uses or
could be developed for a maximum of 33 single-family homes on 2.5
acre lots. The economic feasibility of developing this proper~y
under the pending zoning cannot be easily determined due to the
cost of land, land development costs, etc. However, the
feasibility would appear to be unlikely when compared to existing
developmenus in the City which were ~eveloped with greauer
intensity (i.e., Lawrence Grove, Citrus Glen and Lawrence Lake).
g. Whether the proposed rezonlng is of a scale which is reason-
ably related ~o the needs of the neighborhood and the City
as a whole.
Based on the proposed density and mix of housing types
(single-family; duplex and multi-family units) shown on the
mas=er plan, it can be concluded that the proposed rezoning
is of a scale which is reasonably related to the needs of
the neighborhood and the City as a whole.
h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for.
the proposed use, in districts where such use is already
allowed.
There ~re few vacant parcels of significant size remaining in the
City that would ~llow for the development of this type of planned
unit developmen=. In addition, these existing parcels would also
Page 7 of ADDENDUM A
Planning Dept. Memorandum No. 90-052
March 7, 1990, Page 8
have to be rezoned to a PUD zoning category.
CONCLUSIONS/RECO~A~ENDATIONS
If developed in a manner consistent with staff recomendations,
the proposed planned unit development would be consistent with
Comprehensive Plan policies and would not have an adverse impact
on adjacent single-family Kesidences and the road network in the
vicinity. Therefore, it is recommended that the application for
rezoning submitted by Roger Saberson be approved subject to the
Comprehensive Plan policies outlined under item "a" of the
section entitled "Issues/Discussion'~ and the att~ached staff
comments in Exhibit "E" of this memorandum.

RE: Boynton Nurseries PUD - Lawrence Road
Dear Tim:
Enclosed are three (3) copies of the revised traffic study for
the Boynton Nurseries PUD. The revisions deleted reference to a
1993 buildout year. The stated buildout year for this project
remains 1992.
We have reviewed the recommendations of the City's Traffic Con'-
sultant. We agree with his request that this project's approval
be tied to the construction of several roadways upon which this
project is expected to significantly impact. We offer the fol-
lowing information concerning proposed road construction in sup-
port of the approval of this project:
BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD; 1-95 to Old Boynton Road
Palm Beach County is scheduled to widen this link
according to testimony by Charlie Walker of the
County Traffic Department at the Public Hearing
on Tuesday, February 20, 1990.

We do, however, take exception to the requirement to hold up the
approval of this project until the section of Congress Avenue
from Miner Road to Hypoluxo Road is widened. As agreed by th~
City's Traffic Consultant, thin,project is exDected to generate
an insignificant amount of traffic (less than 1% of capacity) on
that roadway link. We do not feel that it is reasonable to
require a project ~hat is creating an insignificant impact to
ShoUlder the full cost of widening that link of Congress Avenue.
Thank you for your considerat~io~.

FROM:
SUBJECT:
Charles C. Frederick, Director, Recreation & Park Dept.
John Wildner, Superintendent, Parks. Division
Bo!rnton Nurseries, P.U.D.
DATE: March 8, 1990
The Recreation and~Park Department has reviewed the Master Plan
for the Boynton Nurseries P.U.D. The following information is
submitted:
1. Park Land Dedication Requirement
250 single family and duplex units @.018 acres each = 4.50
150 multifamily units 2.015 acres each 2.25
6.75
Total requirement:
2. Credit For Private Open Space
The Park Land Dedication Ordinance provides for up uo
1/2 credit for private open space if it provides a
minimum of five (5) local park basic requirements. The
developer has indicatea he intends to apply for this
credit. Before credit is given, the developer musu
indicate details regarding type, number, size, and
location of the private recreation facilities (per
sub-division code, section 8).
Assuming half credit for private recreation facilities
provided, (6.75 divided by 2), the developer is
required to provide 3.375 acres.
3. Location
It is recommended that the 3..375 acres required to be
dedicated be located in the northeast corner of the
development, adjacent to Laurence Road and abutting the
Knollwood Grove property to the north.
This location will allow for eventual consolidation of
public park property to be dedicated from the Knollwood
Grove property if it is annexed and developed for
residential use.
These combined properties.would ultimately provide a
neighborhood park of approximately five acres which will
comply with the level of service standards required in the
parks and recreation elemenu of the comprehensive plan.

proposed project until contracts have been let for the required
roadway improvemen=s as outlined ~bove.
Pursuant to policy 2.6.2 of the Comprehensive Plan, the City can
