Project Name: Agent: Lake Worth Christian School Timothy p. Dale, Dale Construction Corporation MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Owner: Location: Description-. Lake Worth Christian Society, Inc. East side of High Ridge Road, south of Hypoluxo Road Request for conditional use, site plan and shared parking approval to allow for the construction of 17,500 square foot gymnasium addition Mr. Golden read the memorandum addressed to the Board, dated March 14, 1989, from Mr. Annumziato. (See "Addendum A-i" attached to the original copy of these minutes in the Office of the City Clerk.) He stated that Sec. ll.2.D of the Zoning Regulations contains a number of standards to which conditional uses must conform, and he called attention to items 2 and 9 of the memorandum. Otherwise, the project conformed to the standards listed. With reference to item 2, Mr. Golden drew attention to a report from the Planning Department which discussed how the parking situation would work and referenced the applicant's parking study, which was attached to the agenda packets of the Members. Mr. Golden then read item 9. The TRB recommended approval of the conditional use, which included the site plan and shared parking, subject to staff comments attached to the original copy of these minutes as Addenda A-1 through A-3 inclusive, and to the following: Utilities Department 1. The new meter will require a separate tap off of the water main. 2. Establish a permanent sampling point near the new meter. 3. Ihclude additional hydrants as needed to provide hydrant coverage to within 200 feet of all points on all buildings. 4. Provide fire flow calculations demonstrating 1500 gpm fire flow with a 20 psi residual. 5. Provide details on the sanitary sewer. Police Department 1. Review lighting details. 2. Comply with Construction Security Ordinance 88-25. Planning Department 1. Additional right-of-way 40 feet from center line for High Ridge Road is to be dedicated to Palm Beach County within - 4 MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 45 days of Conditional Use Approval. Details on lighting plan prepared by Florida Power and Light to be submitted for review prior to permitting. Mr. Aguila did not see any mention about events, and he questioned whether they may draw more people than the parking spaces would accommodate. He also had not seen anything about how many of the high school students drive. The park- ing lot looked rather jammed in the picture he saw, and Mr. Aguila did not know if that was an off day. He asked where people park when there is an event. Mr. Golden answered that the athletic events would occur on weekday evenings and on weekends. When the events occur, the school probably will not be in operation. There may be one or two minor activities at the same time, which would generate minimal parking. When it is used for major events, it will be meeting Code requirements for parking.~. There will be enough parking spaces for the gymnasium itself, plus additional parking to meet that required by the zoning regulations. Mr. Golden further explainedw and Mr. Aguila made other comments. Timothy p. Dale, Dale Construction Corporation, 1301 North Congress Avenue, Suite 330, Boynton Beach, FL 33426 introduced John Corbett, Dale Construction Corporation, and Larry Kooi, Administrator, Lake Worth Christian School. Mr. Dale thought Mr. Golden did a good job of answering Mr. Aquila's question. The major events the school was asking that their gymnasium be built for were events that would take place during non-school hours. Therefore, there was no need for additional parking beyond the Code requirements. Mr. Aguila was concerned about what happens when there is graduation or something like that. Mr. Dale recalled that the question had come up in discussions with other people. He thought the Parking Consultant had determined that there are two major events during the year. Mr. Kooi informed the Members that the School has a Fun Day, and they usually have an auction in April. At that time, there would have been a problem w~th the parking, but they managed to contact a local church down the road and other places for shuttle services. Mr. Kooi told Mr. Aguila that there are 70 students in the upper two grades. 45 have cars. The parking may take some of the pressure off during the day. - 5 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Besides the parking on site, Mr. Dale called attention to the open field. TheY obviously have a lot of overflow area, if there is any need for it. Mr. Collins asked where they have the graduation exercises. Mr. Kooi replied that they are held at the elementary campus in Lake Worth. At present, they do not have air conditioning for the gymnasium. Chairman Walshak asked if anyone wished to speak in opposi- tion to or in favor of the application. There was no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Vice Chairman Blanehette moved to approve the request for conditional use, site plan and shared parking approval to allow for the construction of a 17,500 square foot gymnasium addition° Mr. Lehnertz seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.

SITE PLANS NEW SITE PLANS 3. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Legal Description: Description: Joe's Drive-in None Frank Brusco North Federal Highway at N. Avenue, southeast corner E. 8th See above description. Request for site plan approval to allow for reconstruction of the existing park- ing lot to enhance leasing opportunities for the existing building Miss Heyden said the owners of the existing vacant building are requesting approval to improve the existing non-conform- ing parking lot and to add parking spaces to meet the gross floor area that will be required for any future retail use of the building. No changes to the outside of the building were being requested. Miss Heyden said two driveways currently exist to serve the site. One is from Federal Highway, and one is on N. E. 8th Avenue. The one on Federal Highway does not meet the 180 foot minimum distance from intersecting rights-of-way lines required on arterial roads. The owners are requesting a variance to continue to use the Federal Highway driveway. The driveway serves four isolated parking spaces in front of the building, which are needed to meet the requirement for retail use. The TRB recommended approval of the parking lot variance for Federal Highway based on the following: This driveway serves only four parking spaces. There is an existing median within the North Federal High- way right-of-way which would allow right turn movements in and right turn movements out of this driveway. After studying the possibility of relocating the four parking spaces to the east side of the building, thereby eliminating the need for the subject driveway, it was concluded that even if the 20 foot alley adjacent to the eastern property boundary were approved to be abandoned, there would be insufficient room on the east side of the building to provide the required 27 foot access aisle for the relocated spaces. - 7 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 With respect to the site plan, Miss Heyden said landscaping, buffer walls, and a proper traffic control would be installed. The TRB recommended approval, subject to staff comments attached to the original copy of these minutes as Addenda B-i through B-3 inclusive, and to the following: Utilities Department Show water meter. Police Department Lt. Dale S. Hammack, by memo dated March 8, 1989, wrote: "As per our discussion at the TRB meeting of 7 March 1989, I am requesting the following: 1) Exterior lighting details." Public Works Department Move dumpster pad back deeper and angle more. Call Public Works prior to forming slab. Forester/Horticulturist 1. 50% of the newly planted trees should be native species, and 30% of the newly planted shrubs. 2. The road rights-of-way should receive water from the automatic irrigation system. 3. A landscape legend should be included, designating quantities and heights of landscape materials. Mr. Ag uila inquired whether there was any plan to abandon the alley. Miss Heyden answered, "Not at this time." After discussion about separating the property, she apologized for not mentioning that a six foot high CBS buffer wall is required along the property line and called attention to comment ~2 in Mr. Annunziato's memo of March 8, 1989 (Addendum B-3). Carmela Brusco, 610 S. E. 5th Avenue, Pompano Beach, FL 33060, came forward and answered affirmatively when Mr. Richter asked if she was familiar with the staff comments. Chairman Walshak asked if anyone wished to speak in opposi- tion to or in favor of the application. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. - 8 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Motion on Parking Lot Variance Mr. Lehnertz moved to approve the request for a variance to Section 5-142 (h) (3) "Driveways" of the Parking Lot Regulations, subject to staff comments. The motion was seconded by Mr. Aguila. Motion carried 7-0. Chairman Walshak reminded the Members that the P&Z Board is as far as a parking lot variance goes, providing they have a unanimous decision. It used to be a majority decision, but the City Commission changed it so that it now requires a unanimous decision. Motion on Site Plan Mr. Aguila asked whether they were doing anything to the elevations of the building as well as the site plan. Frank Brusco, also of the Pompano Beach address, answered "No." Chairman Walshak advised that the request for site plan approval was for the parking lot only. Mr. Richter moved to approve the request for site plan approval to allow for reconstruction of the exzsting parking lot to enhance leasing opportunities for the existing building, subject to staff comments. Mr. Collins seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. ABANDONMENT 4. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Legal Description: Description: Citrus Glen Delfin F.

Project Name: Agent-. Owner: Location: Citrus Glen Delfin F. Menendez, Senior Architect MSM Design Group Citrus Glen Limited Partnership Lawrence Road at Miner Road extended, southeast corner - 9 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Legal Description: Description: See "Addendum C" attached to the original copy of these minutes in the Office of the City Clerk Request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for the construction of a private security system and additional fencing Miss Heyden informed the Members that Citrus Avenue is between Executive Circle and Citrus Glen Drive and the request for abandonment is for the purpose of installing a security gate system and a manned guardhouse. The Engineering Department recommended approval, subject to the comments in the Memo dated March 6, 1989 from William Flushing~ Deputy City Engineer. (See Addendum D attached to Comments from other departments were as follows: Utilities Department 1. The water meter for the guardhouse should be relocated to the utility easement located along Executive Circle. 2. Indicate the location of the fence relative to the utility easement between Lot 64 and the City's lift station. 3. The fence on the City's property must be maintained by the developer or the subsequent association. Please pro- vide this assurance in writing, to be recorded with the deed for the association's commonly held area. Planning Department There is no need for this street to exist as a public right- of-way north of the collector road (Citrus Glen Drive). The abandonment of this right-of-way would also be required prior to the installation of a private security system, as proposed by the developer. Discussion re Site Plan Modification With respect to the site plan modification request, Miss Heyden said the applicant was requesting approval to install a private security system to include a 24 hour manned guardhouse with gate at the northeast corner of Citrus Glen Drive and Citrus Avenue and five unmanned breakaway gates. The locations were pointed to on the overlay. - 10 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Miss Heyden stated that the unmanned gates have been located so that they will be visible from the guardhouse and can be opened by the residents via a card or opened for guests, service or emergency vehicles by checking in at the guard- house or waiting at on~ of the gate locations until the guard can activate the gate. Citrus Glen is divided into two separate homeowners associations with no master associa- tion to regulate and maintain these amenities. For this reason and because of problems with service and emergency vehicles' access, only the manned guardhouse with the gate and other gate were recommended for approval by the TRB. Miss Heyden explained that was because both of those gates would be controlled by one homeowners association located within Executive Estates. She further explained and repeated prior statements. Miss Heyden clarifisd that th~ security system had been designed so that when the man at the guardhouse sees a car at one of the gate locations, he can activate the gate. Also, they were talking about two homeowners associations in two different plats. The guardhouse is located in one plat, and two different associations were Involved. Mr. Annunziato pointed out that there is no master association to offse~ the cost of the guardhouse. Mr. Zimmerman noted that Citrus Glen Drive separated the two subdivisions. Mr. Annunziato responded that there was one developer and two separate developments. Miss Heyden continued that the other part of the request was for a fence around the City lift station at the northwest corner and also a fence along the perimeter for buffering from the adjacent property. A colored elevation of the guardhouse was supplied, which indicated tan walls, dark tan doors, and a terra cotta tile roof. The TRB recomended approval, subject to the following staff comments: Building Department 1. The overall heights of site fences are limited to six feet. 2. The homeowners documents should provide for perpetual maintenance of the site fences by the Homeowners Association. - 11 MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Utilities Department Same comments as shown above for the Abandonment. Police Department Need to see location of warning sign located on right-of-way. Planning Department See "Addendum D" attached to the original copy of these minutes. Discussion Mr. Lehnertz asked if the street that was being abandoned would become a private street as opposed to being a public street. Mr. Annunziato answered that the guardhouse could not be constructed in a public right-of-way, and he indicated where the guardhouse would go. Miss Heyden explained the way the gates would function to Mr. Collins. Mr. Aguila asked if there would be some kind of a buzzer from the gates to the guardhouse, in case the man in the guard- house is not watching the gates. Miss Heyden answered that it had not been discussed. If the man in the guardhouse cannot see the gate, Mr. Annunziato replied that a buzzer system may not be the answer, because they would not know who they would be letting in. Delfin Menendez, Senior Architect, MSM Design Group, 630 South Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, FL 3340'1-5835, was coming for the abandonment of Citrus Avenue, north of Citrus Glen Drive, for the purpose of building a guardhouse to provide a security system to the development. For buffering reasons, they also have a request to put a fence around the City owned lift station site at the corner of Miner Road and Lawrence Road, just on the east side of the property along the lots that abut the east boundary. Some concern was brought up at the TRB meeting about the inconvenience that would be created for access to the Citrus Trail development that is south of the Citrus Glen Drive area. Mr. Menendez said the developer's desire would have been just to abandon the main collector road and establish the guardhouse at the entries but, apparently, it is against the policy of the City to abandon collector roads of that kind. He explained and added that it appears that this type of security system is established more and more every day. 12 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Mr. Menendez showed where the guardhouse was proposed to be to manually control access. He pointed to an access that would be for residents only, and he said it would automati- cally open for the residents the same way garage doors can be opened from cars. All of the gates will open automati- cally going out. In case of emergencies, the developer and subsequent homeowners' associations will be held liable for damages for any damages to vehicles or to the system from any emergency vehicle. Mr. Menendez acknowledged the comments with respect to any type of inconvenience this system may create, although he felt it would be under the supervision of the guard at this point. Me asked for approval of the security system at the north site (Executive Estates), and they will come at a later time with a modifica%ion to try and create a similar situation at a point he designated on the overlay. Mr. Menendez commented that probably, they would have larger lots where they could work out a system in order that the two developments would be separated and have their own security. Mr. Aguila understood Mr. Menendez to say he would like the Board to only react to the northern half. Mr. Menendez answered that the applicant would prefer that the Board approve both, but they would acknowledge the comments. Instead of putting everything on hold, he asked the Board to approve the north side and maybe they can work out a solution. Chairman Walshak asked if Mr. Menendez was referring to the north side and the two gates further up. Mr. Menendez answered affirmatively. Chairman Walshak determined that the applicant was going along with the findings of the TRB. Mr. Menendez confirmed that was right. He stated that he read the comments from the TRB and had no problems with any other TRB comments. Mr. Annunziato inquired whether they were talking about only the gate morth of the collector, only the gate house north of the collector, and nothing south of the collector. Mr. Menendez confirmed he was talking only of the north. Chair- man Walshak noticed that the TRB agreed that those two gates would be all right, and he asked if Mr. Menendez was saying he did not want to put the south gates in now. Mr. Menendez referred to what they had submitted, and he said the Inconvenience would be just minimum, but he acknowledged that the comments were very valid comments. After further comments by Chairman Walshak, Miss Heyden indicated on the overlay what the TRB recommended approval of. - 13 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Chairman Walshak asked if anyone wished to speak in opposi- tion to or in favor of the proposed abandonment. There was no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Motion re Abandonment Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for abandonment, subject to staff comments. Mr. Zimmerman seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7'0. Motion re Site Plan Modification Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for the construction of a private security system and additional fencing, with the stipulation that they were only discussing those gates north of Citrus Glen Drive, subject to staff comments.

Marc Wiener, Architect, 500 Fairway Drive, Suite 107, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441, and the Project Manager for Sigma Development Corporation were also present. Attorney Koehler stated that they have been working closely with the City Staff. Attorney Koehler called attention to the red awning requested by Vision Works of Eckerd Drug Corporation that the City Commission had addressed in December. He apprised the Members that Herman's Plaza is a national sporting goods company's name, and it will be the chief name appearing on the project. They were before ~he Board with elevatiom changes to add windows and doors for Applebee,s Restaurant. Mr. Aguila wished to see what had previously been approved and what was not approved. Mr. Weiner showed renderings and said they were requesting the location of Applebee's Restaurant, and he indicated the three bays they would be taking. He requested a change from an accent feature of white tile to the same stucco treatment which is on the primary walls. The applicant was also requesting a minor canvas canopy, which he thought protruded about eight or 12 inches from the face of the building. Mr. Weiner indicated the locations of the canopy and the sign location. Attorney Koehler showed swatches of the canopy materials. Mr. Lehnertz referred to the second comment in the memo from Don Jaeger, Building Department, and asked if the applicant was in favor of that. Attorney Koehler answered that they worked with Mr. Jaeger. On Friday, they made their first attempt to submit a sign program to him. It was rejected for reasons that they corrected on Monday (yesterday), was accepted by Mr. Jaeger, and will be before the CAB and City Commission in the cycle they were in now. Attorney Koehler felt they had done what the City wanted in that area. - 15 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Mr. Richter mOved to approve the request, subject to staff cOmmehts.

Building must comply with Table 600 of the Standard Build- ing Code, 1985 edition, for fire ratings on exterior walls and percentage of allowable openings. 3.

David Beasley, Agent, 1499 S. W. 30th Avenue, %8, was in agreement with the staff comments. Mr. Zimmerman asked how many units would fit into that type model. Mr. Beasley believed there were 24 in that section, and he added that eight were affected by that. He showed the Board Members what he intended to do. Mr. Zimmerman referred to the ones that would not receive the benefit of the additional space and maintenance fees. Mr. Beasley commented that every time he has a different room addition, it is not the same as the one before, and he is before the Board again. He further explained. Mr. Annunziato interjected that the units have a limited common element. Within the common element, they have certain rights. Mr. Howard believed the units were responsible for their own maintenance. Mr. Aguila moved, seconded by Mr. Lehnertz, to approve the request, subject to staff comments. Motion carried 7-0.

Rue to the recommendation of the City, it has been changed to a board on board fence with pickets on the side. They are using cypress slats with a 4x4 pressure treated post. Mr. Aguila asked how deep the post would be, and Mr. Aaron answered that it will be 30 inch~s in the ground. Mr. Aaron agreed to the staff comments. Mr. Richter moved to approve the request, subject to staff comments. Mr. Collins seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. 8.

Request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for elevation changes and parking lot improvements Description: Miss Heyden told the Members the changes in elevation requires upgrading the existing landscaping and parking lot. The existing drive through window will be used by Mr. Sub- marine. Photos of the existing building and site were circulated among the Members. There were also photos of the surrounding buildings. Miss Heyden said the building will be white stucco with a pink trim and blue canvas awnings. The signs proposed are a mixture of red, white and blue. The TRB recommended approval of the site plan, subject to staff comments attached to the original copy of these minutes as Addenda E-1 and E-2, and to the following comments: Engineering Department i.

Police Department 1) Stop sign details and parking lot striping. 2) No left turn signs at North exit. 3) Delete exterior building mounted lights. Forester/Horticulturist Hedges planted along the Federal Highway must be 36" in height at time of planting. Lou Moshakos, 797 Camino Lake Circle, Boca Raton, FL 33432, was in agreement with the staff comments, with the exception of the menu board. He said there was a little discrepancy. They have a menu board they have been using, and the menu inside is the same menu they have in the drive through menu. The drive through menu is located directly behind the build- ing, and it takes a 4x7 menu board to accommodate the menu they have. If the applicant cannot meet the Sign Code requirements, Mr. Annunziato advised Mr. Moshakos that he should avail himself of the variance process. Mr. Moshakos informed Chairman Walshak that they have a Mr. Submarine in Deerfield Beach, Oakland Park, on Commercial Boulevard, and there are six or seven in the Keys. This one is the furtherest north, but there will be one in Riviera Beach. They basically have Greek dishes. They will have Greek salads and gyros. Mr. Aguila asked if they could have a drive through window because there is an existing drive through. Mr. Annunziato answered affirmatively. Mr. Aguila did not see any indication about the dumpsters being enclosed and he wanted to see gate enclosures on the dumpsters, although he understood the Sanitation Department does not like them because they must get out of the trucks. He recommended that dumpster gates be provided on all projects. Mr. Annunziato informed Chairman Walshak that there in no Code that requires or does not require them. It - 21 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 might become incumbent upon the applicant to see that he has the gates open because the dumpsters are picked up on a regular schedule. Chairman Walshak thought this should be brought up in the next workshop the Board has regarding the Comprehensive Plan. Miss Toney advised that the policy now is that if they have gates, they are to be open at a certain time. If the gates are closed, the garbage is not picked up. There was further discussion. Chairman Walshak did not think the Board could do anything about the gate enclosures now because they had to abide by the Codes. Mr. Annun~ziat0 thought the Board could impose any reasonable restriction on the approval of a site plan if it was related to health, safety, welfare and harmony. After further comments about whether it could be put in the motion as a recommendation, Chairman Walshak felt it would be up to the motion maker. Mr. Moshakos agreed with Mr. Aguila's suggestion and said they will have gates. Mr. Aguila moved to approve the amended site plan to allow for elevation changes and parking lot improvements, subject to staff comments and the discussion of providing dumpster gates on the proposed dumpster location as well as a wall with a stucco finish. Mr. Collins seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. THE BOARD TOOK A BREAK AT 8:53 P. M. The meeting resumed at 9:05 P. M. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Legal Description: Description: Manor Care Nursing Home Kevin Smith Manor Care Nursing Home South Congress Avenue at Charter Drive, northwest corner Tract A, Manor Care Request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for the addition of a chain link fence along the north property line Mr. Golden told the Members the fence would be along the LWDD L-28 Canal. The fence is proposed for security purposes. The TnB recommended approval as submitted. There were no staff comments. In light of what has been happening at some nursing homes with people wandering off, Chairman Walshak thought they - 22 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA ~[ARCH 14, 1988 should put something in the Code now, while they were work- ing on the Comprehensive Plan, to require that the nursing homes have six or eight foot high fences, especially where canals are involved. After further comments, Mr. Annunziato responded that it was probably a good idea, and he added that they could address it at tbs next workshop. George Davis, Architect, 1100 South Federal Highway, came forward. Mr. Howard asked about the size of the Hibiscus hedge. Mr. Davis referred to there being no staff comments, but said the~e should be one from Mr. Jaeger. He felt Manor Care should replace all of the hedges and trees that were destroyed along the east property line of Congress Avenue in the widening of the street. Mr. Davis said that should be part of the motion tonight. He agreed with Mr. Howard that the hedges along the northeast corner had been severely trimmed. Mr. Davis believed the hedges would come back, but he suggested ~hat the Board could stipulate that if they do not come back, they may be replaced. Chairman Walshak thought the Board would be usurping Code Enforcement. There was discussion about Code Enforcement and Chairman Walshak alluded to numerous places where trees and shrubs in new construction projects are dying. He said it was up to the Board as to what they wanted to do about the hedges in this project. Mr. Richter moved to approve the request with the contingency that they replace all of the landscaping that was destroyed by the widening of Congress Avenue. Mr. Aguila seconded the motion. There was discussion about the motion and whether it should say they should br~ing the landscaping to Code and if heights of shrubs should be included. Mr. Richter wished to leave his motion stand. A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. 10. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Legal Description: Polydex Pharmaceuticals (formerly Novatech Truss Plant) James A.

SUBJECT to an easement for utility purposes over North 12.00 feet thereof. (Containing 1.24 acres, more or less.) Request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for elevation changes and parking lot improvements Mr. Golden informed the Members that the pharmaceutical company will occupy the existing building. The Novatech facility went through a conditional use approval around 1984. Mr. Golden said the existing parking lot, to a large degree, meets Code because of the prior conditional use approval. The applicant will have to upgrade certain aspects of the site, and Mr. Golden explained. Some changes were proposed for the exterior of the building, and they were shown on the colored elevations. Originally, the elevations submitted proposed to make use of .some panels that had been left over by Novatech. Mr. Golden read a letter from James A. Johnson, Architect, which addressed the fact that the elevations had been revised since the original submittal to change the exterior material. The letter stated that the cost to use the Novatech system proved to be too prohibitive, so the drawings were revised to show the changes. The changes were explained in the letter. The TRB recommended approval, subject to staff comments attached to the original copy of these minutes as Addenda F-1 through F-3 inclusive and to the following comments: Utilities Department A reduced pressure back flow preventer will be required on the water service between the meter and the building. Police Department Lt. Dale Hammack requested the following: 1) Lighting details. 2) One way sign and parking lot striping. 3) Review security system. 4) Do Not Enter sign on west driveway. - 24 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Fire Department Per City Subdivision requirements for fire hydrants "No portion of any building shall be over 200 feet from fire hydrant." the James Johnson, Architect, Suite 5, 310 S. E. First Street, Delray Beach, FL 33483, informed the Members that Thomas C. Usher, owner of the project and Usher Insurance Company was also present. Mr. Johnson was familiar with the staff comments and agreed with all of them. Thomas C. Usher, 25 S. E. Second Avenue, Suite 1140, Miami, FL 33131, stated that he is a Canadian pharmaceutical manu- facturer in Toronto, where they have a factory that makes pharmaceuticals based on sugar, including one which just cleared the Canadian equivalent of FDA for the treatment of AIDS. He believed the drug would also be cleared in the United States. One of the activities of the factory here will be to manufacture this drug. It starts from sugar by a fermentation action developed by Mr. Usher in England. Mr. Usher explained how they make the drug. Me referred to making various things from dextron and said the original invention was a substitute for blood for blood transfusions that is now used all over the world. Mr. Usher stated that they have derivatized the same dextron used for blood substi- tution into various products for the treatment of anemia, cholesterol and now AIDS. The drug has not yet gone into chemical trials. They are going into clinical tests in Canada and the United States. Mr. Usher did important pioneer work in the pharmaceutical field. They will use large quantities of alcohol and sugar in the process but otherwise it is a non-toxic process. In Canada, Mr. Usher said it is called an emergency drug. The AIDS situation in Canada is desperate, and pressure was put on the Canadian FDA to allow it. It has been on the market in Japan for the treatment of cholesterol, so it is known to be safe. The AIDS community has been buying it, and Mr. Usher said they have been shipping it to Japan. They have not been allowed to sell it in Canada, but homo- sexuals are entering Japan to bring it back. There has been publicity in medical papers about this. Mr. Usher believed the emergency regulations do not require clinical trial if you can satisfy the regulative body that it is safe. Mr. Johnson explained to Mr. Aguila that the building is an open, structural shed that has a roof only and no walls. Ail they are doing is enclosing the existing walls. They - 25 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYAITON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 are bringing the metal panels up above 20 feet and complet- ing from there on up with translucent plastic to get light into the facility. Mr. Lehnertz moved, seconded by Mr. Richter, to approve the request, subject to staff comments. Motion carried 7-0. 11.

Request for site plan approval to allow for a 4,740 square foot building addi- tion and a change in parking lot layout and design Miss Heyden indicated where the proposed addition and parking lot extension would be. She said there would be gold and white walls with blue trim. The TRB recommended approval, subject to staff comments attached as Addenda H-1 through H-3 inclusive, and to the following: Utilities Department 1. The building addition on the north side will overlap the existing water service and back flow preventer. Indicate the prOposed relocation for these facilities. 2. Indicate the minimum distance of the existing water main from the proposed construction. Police Department Lt. Dale S. Hammack requested the following: 1) Remove new exterior wall mounted lights and replace with photocell activated pole mounted perimeter lighting. 2) COmply with Construction Security Ordinance. Mr. Lehnertz asked what they were doing with the soil test- ing laboratory. He questioned whether there was any possi- bility of spills since they are next to a canal. Miss Heyden answered that the use is in the M-1 district. She further explained. Mr. Annunziato interjected that they do - 26 MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BoYNToN BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 some bug spraying and have gone through environmental review procedures. Digby Bridges, Architect, Marsh & Associates, P.A., 124 N. E. 5th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483, said with respect to the comment about hazardous waste, his client had been cleared of that. The applicant does not expect to use any hazardous material. It is basically testing concrete compression strengths, soils, different materials, etc., geological things, and water testing. There are no hazardous wastes. Mr. Bridges noted all of the comments and wanted to clear one of the comments made by Don Jaeger, Building Department. (See Addendum H-1 attached to the original copy of these minutes.) Mr. Bridges said the sign was shown on the survey but not on their site plan as a free standing sign. It is an existing, free standing sign which has gone through all of the City's approvals. The signs on the building will be reduced in size from those existing because they cannot fit on the new band. They will go through the CAB, and they are on the CAB drawings. Mr. Bridges stated that they will also get rid of the Australian Pine on the entrance drive. Chairman Walshak drew attention to the 9th comment in Mr. Jaeger's memo. After further comments, Mr. Annunziato advised that if the sign is not conforming, they will have three years to comply. Mr. Bridges stated that he had met with Mr. Jaeger, and they are sorting out the landscape plans. All of the corrected plans will be back in tomorrow, including drainage. Mr. Bridges was in agreement with all of the staff comments. Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request, subject to staff comments. Mr. Zimmerman seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. 12.

Containing 185,522 square feet or 4.259 acres Request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for changes in site lay- out and design Miss Heyden informed Chairman Walshak that the site plan on the overlay was approved by the City Commission in October of 1988. The area was sold, resulting in a relocation of the retention area on adjacent property within a dedicated easement. Another change was a shifting of the driveway onto Congress south and moving Building A (the front build- ing) north. This change was indicated on the drawings submitted for site plan modification. The driveway is with- in 25 feet of an existing driveway on the property to the north, which raised concerns by the Public Works, Police, and Engineering Departments. Miss Heyden continued by saying the applicant has worked closely with the City Staff and yesterday, they reviewed revised plans where ehanqes can be made. On the revised plan, the applicant reduced the front building square foot- age by 800 square feet, and two surplus parking spaces were deleted to increase interior landscaping. Miss Heyden added that the easement will not be used strictly for retention. She informed the Members that the current elevations were identical to the colors and materials that were submitted at the original site plan approval. The TRB recommended approval, subject to staff comments attached to the original copy of these minutes as Addenda I-1 through I-2 inclusive, and to the following comments: Utilities Department "Increase 7' wide manhole access lane in northeast corner of property to at least 10' in width. This lane may consist of a compacted rock base with sod overlay, to meet the City's landscape ordinance." Public Works Department "Call Public Works prior to forming dumpster pad." 28 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 orester/t~ort 1cultur 1 st 1. The applicant must submit a permit from the Palm Beach County Engineering Department to install the landscape materials in the Congress Avenue median. The applicant should submit calculations for interior parking lot landscaping showing a minimum of 20 s.f. parking stall Chairman Walshak recalled when this first came through in August or September of last year, a question was brought up about a residence. He commented that all over the country, this is being done (a residence on site to secure the grounds). Chairman Walshak recollected that the Board had said they would address this when they got to the Compre- hensive Plan, but he did not remember addressing it at any of the workshops they had during the past two months. Mr. Richter agreed that it is a normal thing in industry. Mr. Aguila wanted to see the handicap spaces located on the other side, closer to the building, so handicapped people do not have to go across the driveway to get to the ramp. Miss Heyden thought there was a comment by Don Jaeger, Build- ing Department, about handicap accessibility. Reference was made to the 8th comment from the Building Department (Addendum I-2). Mr. Richter asked about the first comment from the City FOrester. Mr. Golden explained that Congress Avenue is a County road. Randall Adrian, Agent, 6929 Town Harbor Boulevard, Boca Raton, showed a rendering of what the Board approved in September. In working with the City staff, they made a mere image of the building. They cut it off 800 square feet because when they flip-flopped the building, the side was not exactly square, and it gave them a little dimensional problem where they could not keep the landscaping around the parking lot on their property. 800 square feet was chopped off the building to do that. It has been their policy and their intent not to ask Boynton Beach for any variances. Mr. Adrian believed everything they have is totally in accordance with all of the City Ordinances. Mr. Adrian informed Vice Chairman Blanchette that he just finished this type of building in Pompano Beach. Vice Chairman Blanchette asked how many people actually go into 29 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYI~TON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 these types of places. Mr. Adrian replied that 30 cars a day come. He stated that his daughter is a paraplegic, and she would not have any problem with anything there. Mr. Aguila clarified that he would like to see them be able to get out of their cars and go right up the ramp that is pro- vided. He pointed out that the applicant has the room for the same handicapped spaces on the other side. Mr. Aguila felt it would be a safer condition. Mr. Adrian had no objec- tion to that. Mr. Adrian was familiar with all of the staff comments but said some are not applicable any more. He alluded to a comment that said they needed to get a variance because there were some bushes in the easement. Mr. Adrian said they had changed that, so the comment was no longer appli- cable. In response to a question by Chairman Walshak, Mr. Adrian confirmed that he had a residence on his original plan, and he stated that he would prefer to have a residence there, but he did not want to ask the City for a variance. Chairman Walshak questioned why Mr. Adrian would not want to ask for a variance and he advised that the variance laws are to help people. Mr. Adrian did not want delays for variances. After further comments were made by him and Chairman Walshak, Mr. Adrian informed the Members that he made a presentation on a similar project in Mangonia Park, and they insisted on a Resident Manager. Although he thought it would be added security for the tenants and would assist the Police and Fire Departments, Mr. Adrian had not submitted an application for a varIance. He emphasized that he needed to get the project built, and he elaborated. Mr. Annunziato advised the Members that no residences are permitted in the M-1 category. The only way they could be permitted would be if the City Commission could construe that it would be an accessory use to this kind of facility and be so customary and incidental that the Zoning Ordinance would not have construed it not to be permitted. This City has never concluded that. Mr. Annunziato suggested that now may be the time to address it. Chairman Walshak recalled that he had wanted that on the agenda for the Comprehensive Plan but, apparently, it had fallen through the cracks. He wanted the Board to address it at the next workshop. Mr. Richter moved, seconded by Mr. Lehnertz, to approve the request, subject to staff comments. - 30 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 Mr. Annunziato asked whether the motion should include that the handicapped parking spaces should be closer to the office. Chairman Walshak answered that was part of the staff comments that Mr. Adrian had agreed to. A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Chairman Walshak commended the TRB for doing a good job. OTHER CONSISTENCY REVIEW - Proposed amendment to Section ll.H.13, c (4) of Appendix A, Zoning, parking requirement for day care centers Mr. Golden stated that the staff has had a lot of feedback from developers of day care centers that the City's parking requirements are overly stringent, particularly when you look at other cities, countiss, and jurisdictions. W-hen the request came through for a day care center at Quantum, the zssue was raised at that time too. Mr. Golden said that recently, the City reviewed a site plan that was for a water service agreement for a day care center in Palm Beach' County that will be annexed in the near future. The day care center agreed to go through the City's site plan approval, and the same issue came up. The day care center agreed to meet City Codes as much as possible where it did not conflict with the County's Codes. The one area where they had a real problem was the number of parking spaces. Mr. Annunziato advised the developer to obtain information about other jurisdictions and their requirements, do an analysis of existing facilities, and submit it to the TRB so they could evaluate it. The TRB did that. Mr. Golden continued by saying many have felt all along that the requirements are excessiue. After evaluating that, the TRB felt it should be changed from one per 200, which is the retail requirement, to one per 300, which is in line for the Professional/Office requirement. Also, the issue came up about drop off areas in front of the building, so that was addressed too. Vice Chairman Blanchette thought the parking for a lot of occupancies should be looked at, and he agreed with the TRB. Mr. Golden said the parking at some of the mini warehouses may be less intense than general warehousing. Vice Chairman Blanchette felt that some pa~king for self storage is a 31 MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 waste of money, and the money reflects back to the cost of the user. Chairman Walshak referred to Safekeeping (the project above) where he gets 30 trips a day, and the City is requiring that he have 140 parking spaces. That seemed really excessive. He asked if a study could be done. Mr. Annunziato answered, "Sure." Chairman Walshak thought the consistencies were nice and expressed that he would like to see more of this kind of thing done. With regard to self storage, Mr. Annunziato said they would look at parking and a residence and see if there is a lot of documentation. They will bring back facts and comments. Mr. Annunziato felt Mr. Adrian of Safekeeping could be very helpful, as he knows what he is doing. Mr. Golden added that this requirement would put line with Delray Beach and will be a little more than the County's. There were further comments. the City in stringent Motion Mr. Richter moved, secondad by Mr. Collins, to approve the consistency review - proposed amendment to Section ll.H.13. c (4) of Appendix A, Zoning, parking requirement for day care centers. Motion carried 7-0. Funding Element Chairman Walshak asked if the Board would get a funding element prior to the public hearing next week (Wednesday, March 22nd). Mr. Annunziato did not know that they would get it prior to the public hearing but said they will certainly get it prior to the adoption of the plan. Chairman Walshak knew the Planning Department was under a great amount of pressure, and he thought they were doing a tremendous job. When a particular Code is not working as was intended and needs to be modified, Mr. Aguila asked ii something is done as they go along or if they wait until the whole Plan is done. Mr. Annunziato replied that there is documentation for almost everything. He added that standards change too. Large portions of the Zoning Code have already been amended, such as the commercial aspects, environmental, and the non- conforming uses. Mr. Annunziato said probably 70% of the Zoning Code have received major amendments in the last four - 32 - MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD BOYI~TON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 14, 1988 years. The City did not anticipate going back into the Code. Over the past three or four months, Chairman Walshak felt the Board had brought up numerous consistency changes that some of them would like to see. He felt it was a good idea. Mr. Annunziato informed Mr. Aguila that if the City Commission deems it necessary and it is consistent with the Board's and staff's recommendation, the Commission will go into the Code amendment procedure.

Abutting the subject parcel to tl~_ south are vacant single-family platted lots within the Cedar P~d~e Estates Planned Unit Development (PUD), with the exception~ the lot adjacent to High Ridge Road which is zoned RS in Ps~ Beach County and is currently owned by the Lake Worth Christian School. Abutting the subject parcel to the west is the right~-~_lr_~-way for H~gh Ridge Road. Further to the west across High Ri~_~ Road, are szngle-family homes on large platted lots zoned RS in Pa!m Beach County. Proposed Use (see attached copy of site plan ~ The applicant is proposing to construct a 17,500 square foot gymnasium to serve the existing high school. The existing parking lot is proposed to be renovated to meet the requirements of Article X, Parking Lots. A new parking lot addition is also proposed on the north side of the g!rmnasium. Include~with this application is a- request for approval of a shared parking allocation (see attached ~opy of the parking study). Standards for Evaluating Conditional Uses: Section tl.2.D of the Zoning Regulations contains the following standards to which conditional uses are required to conform. Following each of these standards is the Planning Department's evaluation of the application as to whether it would comply with the particular standard: ADD~E)UM A-1 The Planning and~Zoning Board and City Commission shall consider only such conditional uses as are authorized under the terms of these zoning regulations, and, in connectiontherewith, may grant conditional uses absolutely or conditioned upon the faithful adherence to and of fulfillment of such restrictions ~d conditions including; but not limited to, the dedication of property for streets, alleys, and recreation space, and sidewalks, as shall be necessary for the protectionof the surrounding area and the citizen's general welfare, or deny conditional uses when not in harmony with the intent and purpose of this section. In evaluating an application for co~ditionai use, the Board and Commission shall consider theeffect of the proposed use on the general health, safety, and welfare of the community, and make written findings certifying that satisfactory provision has been made concerning the followingsta~d~rds~ wh~re applicable: Ingress and egress to the subject property and pr-_~osed structures thereon, with particular reference to~tomobile and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe. Proposed access to the property would occur by waF of the two existing driveways onto High Ridge Road. These two driveways provide sufficient access to the site. As required by the Parking Lot Regulations, the applicant has submit-t~d a traffic control plan which provides for placement of traffic signs and pavement striping. A stabitize~, fire /m~e has been provided around the perimeter of the proposed g!rmn~sium to allow for emergency vehicle access in case of fire or catastrophe. ' Off-street parking and loading ar~as where required, with particular attention to the items in subsection D.! above, and the economic, glare, noise and odor effects t~e conditional use would have on adjacent nearby pro_~_rties, and the city as a whole. The applicant has submitted a shared parking study which indicates that sufficient parking has been provided to meet the n~ds of the school when in operation and the gYr~nasium ~uring major athletic events (see attached report on shared parking). It is not anticipated that the proposed-use would create a nuisance for the ex~sting residences located to the north and across High Ridge Road to the west, as the.proposed glannasiumwil! be located in the south/central portion of the site, at least 200 feet from the nearest residence. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the items in subsection D.1 and D.2 above. A dumpster is proposed to be located at the east end of the new parking lot addition, north of the proposed gymnasium. The Acting Public Works Director has indicated that this e would be a suitable location for the dumpster. Utilities with reference to locations, availability~ compatibility. and The existing utility systems and the proposed extensions are adequate to serve the proposed use. However, s~ additional fire hydrant protection will be required, as noted in the comments from the Utilities Director. Screening, buffering, and landscaping with refer~e to typ. e, dimensions and character. ' Some additional landscaping is required for the renovated parking lot and the new parking lot addition. ~n~ proposed landscaping meets the requirements of the landscape~ codeJ- 6. Signs and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect, and compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearby properties~ There are no additional signs proposed. Wi~ respect to lighting, the applicant has hired the Florida Power and Light Company to prepare a site lighting plan that meets the minimum requirements of the Parking Lot Regula~. The details of this plan will be reviewed by staff, prior to permitting. It is not anticipated that the prop~_~ed lighting plan will create a nuisance to surrounding land ~ 7. Required setbacks and other open spaces. The proposed setbacks for the new 9Aaunasiumexce~d the requirements of the R-1AA zonin~ district reguiat~s. 8. General compatibility with adjacent properties ~ other . properties in the zoning district. The proposed gymnasium is consistent with ~he curr~nt use of the property and it is not anticipated that there will be any adverse impacts to adjacent properties. The closesu existing residence is located over 200 feet to the north of the proposed gymnasium and the vacant single-family lots which were platted as part of the Cedar Ridge Estates Planned Unit Development lie over 70 feet..:to.~the south. 9. Height of buildings and structures, with ~eference to compatibility and harmony with adjacen~ and nearly properties, and the City as a whole. The proposed building height is thirty and one-half feet. On February 21, 1989 the City Commission approved a height exception to allow for an additional six feet above the twenty five feet permitted under the R-1AA zoning district regulations. It is nou anticipated that the proposed building height would create a conflict with surrounding land uses. 10. Economic effects on adjacent properties and the City as a whole. ~ It is not anticipated that the proposed gymnasium addition would have an adverse impact on property values in ~e vicinity or would, impair the developability of these properties. Comprehensive Plan Policies The following Comprehensive Plan policies are relevant to this Conditional Use application. "Provides a suitable living environment in all neighbor_~hoods" (p.6) · "Provide a range of land use ~ypes to accomodate a fuT~ range of services and activities.', (p.7) "Eliminate existing and potential land use conflicts.~ (p.7) "Encourage the development of complementary land uses." (p.7) ' Conclusions/RecommendatioD The proposed use and development of the property wou!~be compatible with the surrouding neighborhood and would be consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies, therefore~ the Planning Department recommends that: this Conditional Use application be approved subject to the attached staff comments. /yh CARMEN S.

ANNUNZIATO, PLANNING DIRECTOR CITRUS GLEN STAFF COMMENTS Please be advised of the Planning Department's comments with respect to the above-referenced request for an amendedsite plan. To follow-up the note on the plans that "the Homeowners Association shall be liable' for damages to city emergency vehicles on duty", a hold harmless agreement shall be drawn up and reviewed by the City Attorney. Provide details for guardhouse parking. Show the proposed fence locations on the master development plans consistent with the previously appmoved fences. Since previously approved fences are to be maintained by the Homeowners Association, the association documents shall include maintenance of the proposed fences on lots 100-110. If document revisions are necessary, they shall be reviewed by the City Attorney. Clearly indicate on sheet L-3A where the chain link fence and the shadow box fence are to be located in relation to each other around the city lift snation. A written agreement should be submitted for review by the City Attorney regarding which party will maintain the fences and land- scaping around the lift station. Due to the visual distance of the security ganes at Temple Avenue, Orange Drive and Citrus Trail from the guardhouse on Citrus Avenue, the proposed system would require all guests, service vehicles with deliveries or on call and city emergency vehicles to check in at the guardhouse in the middle of the development resulting in decreased response time and confusion. In addition, there is not a master association for the Executive Estates and Citrus Trail plats. Each is controlled by a separate association. This may present a problem since the guardhouse manned with a 24 hour guard is situated in the Executive Estates plat. CSA:ck cc: Central File CARMEN S.

Afte= i~mspecting the site it was noted that a great deal of maintenance and reconstruction will be needed including removal of materials that have baem dumped in the rear of the site, reconstruction of wheelstopa and c~rbing that have been broken off in many locations, and repair of ds~e~, li~ht~ - fixtures needed to meet the_l footcandle per~squareffoot mJp~:~ illumination level. Note on plans locations of existing curbing to ba rap!aced~ 4. Show aaight and location of roof top mechanical equipment. Verify that par~ walls will screen this equipment. New curbing is needed where wheelstops are not provided and in areas adjacent to landscaping. Curbing proposed at the end of the following spacms may be deleted: 12-18, 19, 23-27~ 6. Building mounted lights are not permitted. Due to the history of va~lism and loitering on this site and the adjacent site to the south it mzy be wise to add an additional pole light in the rear. This may have no be done if it is determined.by a field inspector that the exisnzng illumination level is below one footcandle. 7o The survey is indicating that there is only 18 feet of backup for spaces i3-!5~ Ail other drawings indicate approximateky 25 feet.
