Lighting at McDonald's Parkinq Lot
Mrs. Huckle inquired if the Board had anything further on
the final disposition of the lighting situation for McDonald's
parking lot. Mr. Golden report~ed that the original site
plan submitted by McDonald's was very detailed with regard
to the lighting. It went back to the Technical Review Board
(TRB); they supplemented the original site plan with
additional information. Mr. Golden informed Mr. Ryder that
the TRB approved metal halide lighting, subject to TRB
review of the lighting plan to insure that it was provided
in a safe and efficient manner. The applicant is about to
be notified of the TRB's review. There were comments. Mrs.
Huckle determined that the var%ance was reenforced by the
TRB.

Request for the abandonment of a
portion of a 10' utility easement
(4' reduction) in plats Nos. 5 and 6
at Boynton Lakes in order to allow
for the addition of patios/screened
enclosures
Mr. Golden said the easements to be reduced to six feet are
located in Plats 5 and 6 of Boynton Lakes and were shown in
three overlays. The second overlay was for Plat 5, and the
third was for Plat 6.
The area north of the L-19 Canal, which includes Plats 4, 5,
and 6 of Boynton Lakes is currently owned by a joint venture.
Mr. Golden advised that the applicant has an option to pur-
chase the single family lots where the easements are to be
abandoned. Under this system, the applicant does not own
the lot until it is sold to the buyer. Currently, the
applicant owns some of the lots where the easements are to
be abandoned, while the remaining lots are still under the
control of the joint venture. Therefore, the applicant
requires the cooperation of the joint venture in this pro-
ceeding.

OCTOBER 14, 1986
Prior to the meeting, correspondence from the joint venture
agreeing to enter into the abandonment agreement for Plats
4, 5, and 6 was distributed to the Board Members. Mr.
Golden pointed out that no replatting is required for Plats
5 and 6. Also, they do not incur any costs above and beyond
what the applicant has to pay for the application.
Mr. Golden continued that the applicant was requesting a
reduction in the ten foot utility easement to six feet to
allow for an additional room to extend concrete patios and
screen enclosures. Screen enclosures would be allowed with-
in eight feet of the rear property line. With a reduction
in the easement, it would allow for that, and Mr. Golden
explained.
Mr. Ryder asked if they will be roofed over and if it would
encroach on the rear setback. Mr. Golden answered that the
abandonment is not related to the rear setback. The area of
where they would build or extend the patio screened enclos-
ures would not allow for a hard roof because it is not with-
in the building setback areao
With a reduction from ten feet to six feet, Mr. Golden said
given the approval for this development, it would allow for
fully screened enclosures or the concrete patio. The roof
enclosure with the hard top would not come into the picture
as a result of this request unless something else changes in
the future.
Chairman Trauger asked if the owner of the 9roperty could go
ahead and put a hard roof on it. Mr. Ryder replied, "Not
without coming back," and he questioned whether they were
aware of that. This would possibly affect their request for
abandonment. Mr. Golden informed Mr. Ryder that the appli-
cant is aware that a master plan modification would be
required to allow for the hard roof in that area.
Also, as part of the procedure for abandonment, Mr. Golden
said the City Engineer has notified the public utilities.
From the responses received, none of the public utilities
objected.
In addition, the City Utilities Department also does not
object to the abandonment request. Therefore, it was
recommended that the abandonment of the ten foot easement
be approved, subject to the dedication of the six foot ease-
ment prior to the abandonment of the ten foot easement. The
process the applicant is following is to abandon the ten
- 3 -

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 14, 1986
foot easement and dedicate a six foot easement to replace
it. However, the six foot easement should be recorded and
in effect prior to the abandonment of the ten foot easement.
Mrs. Huckle had difficulty understanding what four feet would
do for the project. Mr. Golden replied that they cannot
build the structure in the easement area, so with a reduction
to six feet, they can build a concrete ~atio on the addi-
tional four feet, or they will have another two feet to
build a screened enclosure.
Mrs. Huckle asked how much room they would actually have
without any easement. Mr. Golden answered that it would
depend on the specific model and lot (where the lot is
situated and the size of the unit) as to how large an
enclosure they could build on their patio.
Mr. Annunziato interjected that the minimum rear yard struc-
ture setback for roofed over structures in Boynton Lakes
Planned Unit Development (PUD) would be ten feet, based on
their analyses. However, if someone was inclined to
construct a screened enclosure, they would fall under the
single family home requirements, which would allow them to
go within eight feet of the rear property line with a
screened enclosure. However, with the ten foot easements
which were platted, it is not possible to do that because
you cannot construct over the utilities. The City will not
issue building permits.
By allowing this to happen, Mr. Annunziato said someone can
pour a slab, or he could install a screened enclosure with-
in eight feet of his rear property line. Vice Chairman
Winter asked who would police that if he did not apply for
a permit. Mr. Annunziato answered that it would be a Codes
Enforcement issue. It would be policed by the Building
Department and the neighborso There was discussion.
Michael Puder, President, Southeast Development Enterprises,
Inc., 4200 North Congress Avenue, Lantana, Florida 33462,
told Chairman Trauger he understood the easements, setbacks,
and what they are doing with it. Vice Chairman Winter asked
if he understood no one could build anything on top of the
screened enclosure. Mr. Puder understood that.
Chairman Trauger asked if anyone in the audience wished to
speak in favor or in opposition to the proposal. There was
no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.

OCTOBER 14, 1986
Mr. Golden read the memorandum dated September 24, 1986,
addressed to the P&Z Board, from Mr. Annunziato. Chairman
Trauger asked how far this parcel was from Winchester Park
Boulevard. Mr. Golden estimated it was 1,500 feet and
informed Chairman Trauger the zoning in Palm Beach County to
the immediate east is Neighborhood Commercial. He believed
there was different zoning further to the east.
The Planning Department recommended that the applications
for annexation, future land use element amendment and re-
zoning be approved, subject to staff comments contained in
Exhibit E in the report, concurrence by Palm Beach County
as to the request to annex and zone in the City, and also
subject to items 1 through 9 listed on page 6 of the report.
Pedro M. Diaz, 2867 Banyan Boulevard Circle, N. W., Boca
Raton, Florida 33431, had not read the staff comments.
Mr. Annunziato summarized the comments by saying the find-
ings cited as 1 through 9 were included in the recommen-
dations. The only staff comment was from the Planning
Department and said, "Billboard located on southeastern por-
tion of property to be removed within sixty (60) days of
annexation." Mr. Annunziato explained that it has keen the
program for the City that when properties are annexed,
billboards must be removed from them. Mr. Diaz agreed and
had no problem with that.
Chairman Trauger asked if anyone wished to speak in favor or
against the proposal. There was no response. THE PUBLIC
HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. De Long complimented the Planning Department on a very
comprehensive report. He moved to approve the annexation,
to show the annexed land as Local Retail Commercial and
rezone from Neighborhood Commercial to C-3, subject to staff
comments. Mr. Pagliarulo seconded the motion, and the
motion carried 7-0.

Request for a rezoning from PU (Public
Usage) to C-1 (Office/Professional)
to allow for redevelopment of the
existing site and an adjacent parcel
for a new medical office building in
affiliation with Bethesda Memorial
Hospital
Mr. Golden read the memorandum addressed to the P&Z Board,
from him, dated September 24, 1986.
Chairman Trauger questioned whether the apartments were torn
down too. Mr. Ryder answered that the building on the corner
and the apartments to the west were torn down.
If 26th Avenue is abandoned, Mrs. Huckle wondered how the
front of the hospital would be accessed from Seacrest. Mr.
Annunziato answered that to the Planning Department's know-
ledge, there are no plans to change that. If it was intended,
that access change would be subject to an amendment to the
existing site plan, which would be reviewed by the Board and
Council.
Mr. Annunziato informed Chairman Trauger that 26th Avenue
is a public street that goes nowhere and now serves one
property owner. With all of the property to the north going
into the joint venture, the street serves one property
owner. It does not meet the qualifications for a publicly
dedicated right-of-way.
Mrs. Huckle asked if 26th Avenue has not been the access road
from Seacrest to the emergency room, the front of the hospi-
tal, and the whole horse shoe thing. Mr. Annunziato did not
think there was any intention to change that. There is a
request to abandon it, but the physical characteristics of
the street will likely not change. It will be maintained
by the hospital. Mr. Ryder clarified that it will be main-
tained for its present use. Mr. Annunziato added that it
will be privately owned by the hospital. If there is a
desire to change that access, it would be an amendment to
the site plan which would go back through a review process.
Mr. Annunziato told Chairman Trauger the one property owner
has a driveway just south of Kessel's building.

Kirk Dunlap, Vice President, Universal Medical Buildings,
Inc., 839 North Jefferson Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202,
came~forward. Chairman Trauger asked what the staff comments
were. Mr. Annunziato answered that the only staff comment
was that if this was approved, they should direct their
lighting away from the houses to the north. Mr. Dunlap had
no problem with that.
Mr. Ryder recalled a question was raised as to what would
happen in the event of abandonment of 26th Avenue. He asked
if they would assume that the present usage would continue.
Mr. Dunlap said that was a correct assumption. Mr. Ryder
wondered if they would ask for an additional curb cut just
to the north of 26th Avenue, because of the fact that the
present corner building will come down, and that will be
part of their new development. Mr. Dunlap confirmed that
they would not require another curb cut and added that their
site plan does not call for that.
Mrs. Huckle inquired whether it would be mostly parking.
Mr. Dunlap replied that as the site plan shows, it will be
a combination of the building and parking. Chairman Trauger
asked whether this would provide adequate parking. Mr.
Annunziato answered that they had not addressed the site
plan issues specifically. The issue before the Board was a
change in zoning.
Chairman Trauger asked if anyone wished to speak in favor
or in opposition to the proposal. There was no response.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. De Long commented that it was a clear cut decision
because they were looking at a permitted use under the
present zoning. All they were doing was putting a sanction
on it being able to be done for a profit. It was very clear
that it would not be a further incursion on the commercial
property there and that the whole area in the future
Comprehensive Land Use Plan is designated to go C-1. He did
not think there was a lot to ponder over.
Mr. De Long moved that the rezoning be approved, subject
to staff comments with regard to the lighting. Mrs. Huckle
seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.

Request for the abandonment of a 50'
wide local street (S. W. 26th Avenue)
and a portion of a 50' local street
(S. W. 2nd Street) to allow for
integration of the proposed medical
office building with the existing
hospital complex
Mr. Golden again read from Mr. Annunziato's memo of
September 24 to the P&Z Board. The north 25 feet would go
to O. Alan Jared III, and his Associates, and the south 25
feet would go to the hospital. The City Engineer notified
the utility companies, and responses were received from
Southern Bell, Group W Cable, Florida Public Utilities, and
Florida Power and Light. Except for Group W Cable, all of
the utilities have an interest in the right-of-way and will
agree to abandon the right-of-way, if granted the appropriate
easements. This also holds true for the City's Utilities
Department.
The City Engineer recommended approval of the abandonment,
subject to the entire right-of-way becoming a utility ease-
ment. Mr. Ryder assumed they would not be denying any exist-
ing property owner access by means of a public street, and
there will not be anybody else but the hospital. Mr. Golden
explained that the two parties requesting the abandonment
are the two that are affected and abut the right-of-way.
In other words, Mr. Ryder said no one else will be left.
Mr. Golden replied that the single family home has a private
driveway to Seacrest, and everything else in Westchester
Heights has alternate accesses to the north.
Mr. Annunziato interjected that it was the recommendation of
the City staff that because of the number of utilities within
and above the street, it will leave the entire street with
utility easements and for access purposes by the City's
utilities and other companies. Chairman Trauger added that
the applicant will maintain the streets.

Mr. De Long asked if the applicant understood that and the
utility easements. Kirk Dunlap, Vice President, Universal
Medical Buildings, 839 North Jefferson Street, Milwaukee,
WisconSin 53202, answered affirmatively. Chairman Trauger
wondered if he understood it must be maintained as an ease-
ment for the City and the other utility companies. Mr.
Dunlap replied that they understand that.
Mrs. Huckle did not understand how the arrangement would
work, if the north 25 feet of the street goes to Dr. Jared
and his Associates and the south 25 feet goes to the hospital.
Mr. Annunziato answered that the Statutes provide that when
rights-of-way are abandoned, they are split down the middle
with half going to each adjacent property owner. He
suspected that the Tax Appraiser or title companies would
then have to determine which property would accrue to each
one.
Mrs. Huckle asked if Mr. Dunlap represented both property
owners. Mr. Dunlap replied that was correct. He added that
he was representing Universal Medical Buildings, which will
be developing the site previously described. Mr. Dunlap
said Robert Hill from the hospital may want to represent the
hospital. As the hospital had an interest in this, Mr.
Annunziato thought Mr. Hill should come forward.
Robert B. Hill, Executive Vice President, Bethesda Memorial
Hospital, 2815 South Seacrest Boulevard, explained that
presently, Dr. Jared and his Associates are the owners of
the two parcels on the north side of S. W. 26th Avenue.
They are in the process of making up their minds on whether
they are going to sell the property t° the hospital or also
join with the hospital in a venture to produce the medical
office building as the site plan. The rezoning application
was Dr. Jared's property, but the other is a joint documenta-
tion from Dr. Jared, his Associates, and the hospital. The
whole project is going to be done with the three parties or
with just two of the parties. Those final details have not
been worked out yet. That was why they made the application
from the legal standpoints.
Mr. Ryder asked if Bethesda Hospital concurred with the
request for abandonment. Mr. Hill answered affirmatively
and added that they understood and agreed with the 50 foot
easement because, as Mr. Dunlap explained, S. W. 26th Avenue
will remain in that location because it is the main access
drive to the hospital emergency room and will also be the
main access drive to the office building.

Mr. Ryder commented that apparently two ownerships are
involved. Bethesda Hospital is not developing the new medi-
cal center. Mr. Hill informed him that they will be. Right
now, Dr. Jared is the owner of the land. The hospital is
negotiating with Dr. Jared to purchase the land to make the
hospital the owner. If Dr. Jared does not wish to do that,
he might participate in a joint venture with them to develop
the project. Either way, the hospital will have an interest
in the building.
AS no one else in the audience wished to speak in favor or
against the proposal, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Mr. Ryder moved to approve the request for abandonment,
subject to staff comments, vice Chairman Winter seconded
the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.

Description: Request for master plan approval for
a replat of Tract D to allow for the
elimination of 7 single family lots
in order to provide for the addition
of a private recreation facility
On September 16, Mr. Golden said the city Council made a
determination of no substantial change to the master plan
modification. The recreation area will include a pool,
pool house, tennis courts, sun tan area, fitness area, and
putting green. There will be 24 single family homes in
Tract D. The Technical Review Board recommended approval of
the request, subject to staff comments.
Mrs. Huckle asked if there was a recreational facility in
the original concept. Mr. Golden replied that a copy of the
original concept would show that no private recreation was
planned for Tract D. Any recreation facilities they would
have access to would be the private recreation for the entire

Meadows planned Unit Development (PUD), as well as public
recreation facilities that will be built in the future by
the city.
Mrs. Huckle asked if this was to be more exclusive, and if
that was why they would have their own recreational compound.
Mr. Annunziato explained that this would be in addition to
private recreation amenities that are in the Meadows.
David Flinchum, A.S.L.A., Wantam & ASSociates, Inc.,
Consulting Engineers, 2000 Lombard Street, West Palm Beach,
33407, said the proposed recreational island in the center
of the project is for the use of the 24 single family homes.
They propose two tennis courts, a pool, club house, small
cabana, a jogging trail around the perimeter of the island,
and a putting green.
Chairman Trauger inquired whether there would be a public
meeting room and who would maintain it. Mr. Flinchum replied
that it will be maintained by the 24 homes. Chairman
Trauger asked if it would be a homeowners association. Mr.
Flinchum answered affirmatively.
Mr. Annunziato informed Chairman Trauger that there is a
facility in each of the primary, private amenity areas in
the PUD for meetings. This is just additional recreation.
They still are members of the primary association, so they
have that amenity to access plus their own amenity.
Mrs. Huckle asked if this would be their highest priced
section or if there would be others that will be equally as
exclusive. Mr. Flinchum believed Babcock had another
project (Cloverbend) in the immediate area, but this was the
only one he was involved with. Mrs. ~uckle wondered how many
square feet the homes would have. Mr. Flinchum thought they
were 2,000 square feet. The price varies from $140,000 to
$160,000.
Mr. De Long asked if Mr. Flinchum was familiar with the
staff comments. He answered, "No."
Mr. Ryder referred to the comments from Don Jaeger, chief
Plans Review Inspector, and asked in what instance they were
relative. In PUDs, Mr. Annunziato explained that they are
always-attempting to clarify the building envelope because
they do not have standard structure setbacks, except where
they abut publicly dedicated rights-of-waY. Those setbacks
have to be established by the city Council. Through this

process, Mr. Jaeger is establishing for the Building Depart-
ment and the city, with the concurrence of the council, the
building envelope for the houses in this tract.
Mr. De Long questioned whether Mr. Flinchum was aware of the
setback requirements and envelope requirements Mr.
Annunziato was talking about. ~e asked if Mr. Flinchum read
them. Mr. Flinchum replied that Mr. Golden just showed them
to him, and they will comply with whatever the setbacks are.
Mr. Annunziato added that the front setback is a setback on
a publicly dedicated right-of-way.
Chairman Trauger asked if this Babcock Company was the same
as the furniture company. Mr. Flinchum replied that it is a
branch of Weyerhauser.
Mr. De Long moved to approve the master plan modification
application, subject to staff comments. Mrs. Huckle seconded
the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.

adoption of the second ordinance to annex and rezone the
property.

To the south is a mobile home park. The applicant proposes
to construct a building consisting of seven bays. The build-
ing will be of masonry construction with a stucco finish.
The Technical Review Board (TRB) recommended approval, sub-
ject to staff comments. With regard to the comments, Mr.
Golden said access to the rear of the building and access to
Federal Highway were two primary concerns of the TRB. The
TRB made a finding that both of those potential problems
could be alleviated without major modification by shifting
the building and parking lot forward somewhat and reducing
the landscape strip, which is wider than required by Code.
As far as the access (two way driveways on Federal Highway,
both north and south), Mr. Golden said they should be reduced
to one way. The north will be an entrance, and the south
will be an exit. This will help to minimize the northbound,
left turn movement through the existing median cut on Federal
Highway. Mr. Golden pointed out that the applicant will have
to dedicate a 15 foot utility easement along the front of his
property and will have to extend water and sewer from the
Gulfstream Mall to the northern limit of his property. A
memo from the Forester was added to the staff comments.
There was discussion about the location of the property.
Len Kirschke, 501 Lakewood Drive, 99B, Jupiter, Florida
33458, was aware of all of the staff comments and had some
questions on a couple of them.
Mr. Kirschke referred to comment ~2 in the memorandum dated
October 8 from Don Jaeger, Chief Plans Review Inspector, and
said a sidewalk is already located there. He did not know
if he was to repair it. Mr. De Long asked if it is five
feet wide because if it is not, Mr. Kirschke would probably
have to take all of the existing sidewalk out and put a new
one there. Mr. Kirschke told Chairman Trauger a five foot
sidewalk would be no problem.
With reference to comment 94 in the memorandum dated October
7, from Peter V. Mazzella, Utility Inspector, Mr. Kirschke
said they are tying into a six inch water main at the north-
east corner of the Gulfstream shopping center. It seemed to
him that to go from six inches to eight inches would reduce
the water flow.
Mr. Annunziato informed Mr. Kirschke that he would probably
be on a dead end water main for some period of time. The
eight inch water main will provide for greater water delivery
- 14 -
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD

OCTOBER 14, 1986
than a six inch water main, even though it ties into a six,
because it is a dead end water main. The eight inch will
provide more water to the site than a six in case of fire.
Mr. Kirschke asked if it would be a dead end or if it would
continue on. Mr. Annunziato replied that the assumption is
that it will continue northward. He gave an example and
stated that he was sure that would all be looped as proper-
ties develop. In the interim, it would be a dead end water
maino
vice Chairman Winter asked if that would not be a loss of
pressure. Mr. Annunziato was thinking more water would be
available from the eight inch main, even though it would be
tying onto the six inch main, than from a six tied onto a
six. Mr. Ryder thought the fact that it dead ends made it
a proper request. They do not know what will happen in the
future.
Mr. Ryder explained to Mr. Kirschke that the larger the
diameter, the less pressure loss there is. Mr. De Long said
they were thinking of fire equipment. There was discussion.
Mr. Kirschke asked what the advantage to this was. Mr.
Annunziato replied that it enhances fire protection.
Chairman Trauger asked Mr. Kirschke if he would agree to an
eight inch line. Mr. Kirschke replied that he would have to.
There was more discussion.

Mr. Kirschke said he was speaking of the rear of the building.
In the rear of the building there is no parking; there is a
driveway. He asked if they would need seven lights for the
driveway. After discussion, Mr. Annunziato said he had used
it in terms of a parking lot and explained that the driveway
is within the direction of the parking lot regulations. The
applicant has to have parking lot lighting for all areas of
parking in all driveways. Mr. Annunziato said door mounted
lights do not qualify for parking lot lighting. The idea of

the photocell is that they not be tied into a house where
they can be turned off. Obviously, the Police would be very
dismayed if they were patroling at 3:00 A. M. and the lights
were turned off.
Mr. Kirschke was at the meeting when they brought up the
lighting at McDonald's. He asked if there was any type of
lighting they require. Mr. Annunziato replied, "High
pressure sodium."
Chairman Trauger asked if Mr. Kirschke would agree to the
lighting on the driveway. Mr. Kirschke answered, "Yes."
Vice Chairman Winter asked about the renaming of the project.
Mr. Krischke answered that it will be called "Briscoe Plaza".
Mr. Krischke hated to cut down the green area but said that
was what they will have to do. They will enlarge the drive
to the rear of the building by doing so. Mr. Krischke
informed Mrs. Huckle that the curb cuts are two way.
In talking to Mr. Golden, Mr. Krischke could see where there
would be a problem, so they will cut the driveways down to
12 feet instead of 24 feet. There will be an ingress to the
north, and an egress to the south. Mrs. Huckle wondered if
cutting it down from 24 to 12 feet would eliminate the
problem. Mr. Krischke explained that with the cut through
on Federal Highway, with the larger driveway to the north,
people might tend to cut across traffic into there. He
elaborated on how it could be a traffic problem.
Chairman Trauger asked what type of business they were
targeting towards. Mr. Krischke replied that they are hoping
to get small retailers like beauty salons, barber shops, ~
little convenience store, and other conveniences for people
around there.
Mrs. Huckle asked if a dumpster was in the southwest corner.
Mr. Krischke answered affirmatively.
Mrs. Huckle moved to approve the site plan request for
Briscoe Plaza, subject to staff comments. Mr. Ryder seconded
the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.

Annunziato to explain that on the Friday prior to the

make their Community Appearance Board applications.
Oftentimes, the person picking up the CAB application may
not be the person making the presentation. Mr. Annunziato
wanted to point out that there is a procedure where the City
attempts to advise people. Most of the applicants are aware
of that process and are prepared.
Mr. Annunziato informed Mr. Ryder that applicants are
advised of the staff comments, and this usually occurs on
the Wednesday or Thursday before the P&Z meeting. By Friday,
a packet is usually available to the applicant.

Due to the increase in the size of the cinema, Mr. Golden

retail floor space due to the increase in the size of the
cinema and parking for the cinema, the elimination of the
junior department store in the northwest corner, and elimi-
nation of the egress driveway onto Old Dixie Highway in the

not obtain a County turnout permit for the egress driveway
on Old Dixie Highway.

The basic configuration of the shopping center is essentially
the same with the exception of the items noted. As a result
of the elimination of the egress driveway onto Old Dixie
Highway and the incorporation of previous staff comments,
Mr. Golden said the site functions in a more efficient and
safer manner.
The revised shared parking analysis, based on the same
methodology as the previous study, results in a slightly
larger buffer than the previous approval. Mr. Golden said
the previous was just over 10%. The current is just over
13%.
The Technical Review Board recommended approval of the site
plan and the shared parking allocations, subject to staff
comments.
Mr. Pagliarulo drew attention to comment 91 by Don Jaeger,
Chief Plans Review Inspector, Building Department, and asked
what a precast unit had to do with that building complying
with the Code. Mr. Golden answered that it was one of those
concrete fences where you have slats, and the posts hold the
slats in place. They cannot have that, according to the Code.
Mr. Pagliarulo also noted from the comment that the buffer
wall was to be constructed of "masonry material, stucco,
and then painted." Mr. Golden said the standard comment with
regard to dumpster enclosures and buffer walls is stucco
finish with coloring to match the building. Mr. Pagliarulo
determined that it would not necessarily have to be painted.
Mrs. Huckle asked why the Code objected to that type of wall
construction. Mr. Annunziato informed her that they are not
as substantial and are not constructed as well. Therefore,
their life is not as great.
Mrs. Huckle wanted to know the reason for the refusal of the
curb cut on Dixie. Mr. Annunziato said it was the angle of
the intersection. The County Engineer wanted a 90° inter-
section. When the applicant attempted to put in a portion
of that driveway in a 90° form, it so aborted the plan, it
was just as well to close the driveway, redirect it into the
parking lot, and exit out the main driveway.
Chairman Trauger noticed a lot of beautiful trees in there,
and said the trees left are very good trees. Mr. Annunziato
said all of the trees on site will be incorporated into the
site plan either in place or moved on site. He thought

Palm Beach County picked up a few mangoes. Trees on this
site were a primary concern because you will not find that
species anywhere in Florida. Because of that, the City
worked very closely with the applicant. Mr. Ryder noticed
the City Forester/Horticulturist had addressed it too.
There was discussion.
Bob MciIntyre, Project Architect, Goldenholz-Fischer Archi-
tects &Planners, P.A., 2400 West Cypress Creek Road, Fort
Lauderdale, Florida 33309, came forward. Chairman Trauger
asked him if he understood the staff comments, including the
most r~ecent ones of the Horticulturist. Mr. McIntyre replied
that he did, and he was in agreement.
According to the second comment in Mr. Hallahan's memo,
Chairman Trauger said mangoes are along the north end. Mr.
Annunziato explained that mangoes are not a good parking lot
tree. Had the applicant been able~ to leave them in place,
they would haVe been a buffer tree, but because of the
installation of utilities, they will be replaced with a tree
that has a wide stature and which is fairly tall.
Mr. McIntyre said they provided numerous landscape islands
along the northern property line to provide for a good,
solid buffer of trees. Mr. De Long recalled they extensively
covered that in the original hearings, and the applicants had
to bring in a good number of trees. He imagined they saved
what they could save and could not imagine mangoes in a
parking lot.
Mr. De Long moved to apprOve the site plan, subject to staff
comments, including the comments by the Forester/Horti-
culturist and the comments on shared parking. Mrs. Huckle
seconded the motion. Motion carried 7-0.

Mr. Ryder asked if there was a new name for the project.
Mr. Golden informed him that the Fire Department has accepted
Oakwood Square. He said the changes requested included
elimination of the Yard King store and the nursery, which
would have been in the northeast corner. This will be
replaced by a junior department store and a restaurant,
which is a new configuration- It will not result in the
removal of any additional Oak trees. However, one Sabal
Palm will have to be relocated as a result of the change.
Also proposed is a change in the parking lot layout and
design. Mr. Golden said that was mainly in front of the
supermarket in the southeast corner. Previously, the parking
spaces were angled in direct line with the front of the
store. Now they are somewhat at an angle to the front of the
store, which results in greater conformity with the surround-
ing parking area and is safer and more efficient.
The TRB recommended approval, subject to staff comments.

Request for approval of entrance
signage
Mr. Golden referred the Members to the overlay and said the
TRB recommended approval, subject to staff comments.
Mr. Ryder said it will be erected on the mound at the corner,
and he was concerned about visibility. Although it sets
back from Congress Avenue, Congress Avenue will be widened
on that side. There was discussion.
James D. Driskell, Agent, 5405 Cypress Center Drive,
Suite 320, Tampa, Florida 33609, said there is a berm that
was originally constructed there as part of their overall
berm on the front of the property. There is a low planter
which comes up to create the planting area and a place for
the plant material. Then there is a four foot wall behind
that, which is the sign body itself, so there would be a
four foot sign body with a small planter below where they
will plant bushes to soften that.
With reference to the concern about visibility, Mr. Driskell
said this sets back substantially from Congress as it exists
today and from the widened Congress. The sides are angled
to provide adequate visibility for traffic ingress and egress
onto Congress.
Mr. Annunziato asked how high above average grade the top of
the second sign is. Mr. Ryder added, "the grade of Congress
Avenue, not Congress Boulevard." Congress Avenue was the
elevation they worked from and when Congress Avenue is
widened, Mr. Driskell believed the height of the second sign
will be approximately six feet overall above the improved
grade of Congress Avenue, when it is widened. Mr. Pagliarulo
asked if he meant to the top of the sign. Mr. Driskell
answered, "Yes."
Mr. Pagliarulo noticed the second sign was shown to be four
feet above the top of the lower masonry wall. Mr. Driskell
agreed. Mr. Pagliarulo asked if he meant the masonry wall
is only two feet above it at the center. Mr. Driskell
answered, "Yes", and explained it is really to retain ero-
sion from coming down.

Mr. Golden reminded the Members that the site plan was

ments made by the Planning Department at that time was that
future recreational amenities would require site plan
approval. The proposed modification included the details on
the recreational amenities, as well as a maintenance

Tract G is located in the northwestern portion of The
Meadows 300 PUD. It is immediately south of the Lakes of
Hypoluxo PUD and west of Tract H. The maintenance building

Request for approval of building
signage
Mr. Golden said this would be on the east side of apartment
building 97, which would be the southwest corner of Hypoluxo
Road and Meadows Way. The sign is to be 14'6" long by 18"
high and is to read "Club Meadows". The TRB recommended
approval. There were no staff comments.
Mr. Golden explained to Mrs. Huckle and Chairman Trauger
that the overlay showed a previous plan which was amended
for the request at hand, which was only for the Club Meadows
sign on the end of apartment building 97. Everything else
was previously approved. Mrs. Huckle questioned why they
wanted another sign when there is a big one there now.
She also wondered why it said "Project Entry", and you can-
not get in that way.
Mr. Edward Schwab, Wilshire Corporation, 1000 Southern Boule-
vard~ West Palm Beach, Florida 33405, informed the Members
that the overlay was presented several years ago. "Project
Entry" was the terminology for that specific type of sign
for the entry of that PUD. They are now asking for this
signage to be installed on building ~7 for better visibility
because of Phase III, which is Tract G, that they have site
plan approval for. This will be contiguous with that Phase
III.
Mrs. Huckle asked if they were going to also leave the
original sign indicated as "Project Entry" there, in the
middle, facing Hypoluxo Road. Mr. Schwab replied that sign
is of CBS construction and looks very similar to the oval
shaped "Club Meadows" sign in the middle of the overlay. It
is heavily landscaped and is a permanent structure, as well
as the sign they are now requesting. They are asking for
- 23-

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

this sign for better visibility because they are adding 170
units to the total project.
Mrs. Huckle could see why they would want to have the new
sign, but the two signs are not that far apart, and it
seemed like a lot of signage. Mr. Schwab advised that the
existing sign is approximately 4½ feet above ground level
for the same amount of distance above the sidewalk. It
runs parallel to the canal. They need something that is
more visible behind the Publix shopping center because it is
congested at that point.
One thing that was not on the overlay that Mr. Schwab said
should have been was that where the signage is proposed on
that building, it is landscaped with Sabal Palms, Pampas
grass, and other low lying hedges, so it is no~t a stark side
of a building with lettering on it. He elaborated.
Mrs. Huckle moved to approve the request for building
signage, seconded by Mr. Ryder. Motion carried 7-0.
OTHER
Discussion of Proposed Countywide Planning Council
Referendum Ballot and Proposed Ordinance
Chairman Trauger had requested this because, as citizens,
they will have to. vote on it later on. Mrs. Huckle was
pleased to realize that if this passes, at the end of a five
year term, it can be readdressed.
Mr. De Long asked if she ever tried to recall a bureaucracy
five years after it is in motion. He thought it gave up
too much home rule and sovereignty. It creates another level
~of bureaucracy that they do not need, is not cost effective,
and there are enough costs now in the permitting stage.
Mr. De Long thought there would be an additional level of
that and an additional stratum of government bureaucracy.
Mr. De Long also commented that whoever controls the Regional
Planning Council will probably be the prime autocrat of the
County, wielding enough power to make it awesome.
It seemed to Chairman Trauger that it left the cities fairly
autonomous as far as municipalities go, but if you get into
a dispute with a project on your border, next to the County,
and have high zoning contiguous to low zoning, this Board
would step in to make the ruling. Mr. De Long could see
- 24-
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 14, 1986
where it would benefit those towns that do not have the
voluminous dollars spent creating Planning Departments with
efficient, intelligent Planners, but did not see where it
would be any big benefit for Boynton Beach.
In all the years Mr. Ryder has been on the Board, he did not
think they had any serious problems with being able to live
the way the County has zoned the areas adjacent to the City's
limits. What he was concerned about was that it will
eventually have to assume the proportions of a major agency.
They have to collect all of the Comprehensive Land Use plans,
go through them, etc. Mr. Ryder realized the concern Mr.
Annunziato had as to what the effect might be on the City's
utility service requirements.
Mr. Ryder asked if Mr. Annunziato, during his experience
with the City, saw where the City had any major problems
with regard to conflicts. Mr. Annunziato replied that the
City has always had a very close relationship with the
County in utilities as that translates into land use. The
biggest problem the City has had has been in getting the
word when things are happening in our area. Sometimes
actions are taken where the City is not advised. Where the
City is involved, it is effective.
Mr. Annunziato thought the County Staff would rather see the
cities take the lead in the areas in close proximity to the
cities. ~e has seen it with the billboard ordinances and
the land use recommendations° The County has bigger problems
to worry about than 100 acres which are in a pocket on High
Ridge Road or South Federal Highway. In the future, Mr.
Annunziato thought they could count on those areas going
into some city.
Mr. Annunziato thought there was a hidden agenda that was
not obvious from the Ordinance. The Land Use map is a
composite of all of the other elements in the Comprehensive
Plan. For example, the determination to have certain areas
at certain densities or commercial uses in other locations
is a factor of roadways, ability to serve, availability of
schools, facilities to pick up trash and dumping facilities.
All of that information comes together to create a land use
element which translates into people and commercial
industrial structures that the City can serve.
Mr. Annunziato thought what had to happen was that even
though the Planning Council will be responsible for creating
the Land Use Element, there will be a lot of planning going
- 25-
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

on. He explained and said you do not see that in this
Ordinance.
As far as the City proper was concerned, Mr. Annunziato said
no big decisions were made, except for Tradewinds. He
pointed out that they are very small issues. There are
annexations where they know what the land uses are and know
they can serve. The County is where the action is going to
be in the future and where the Planning Council will be most
effective. There is a way to impact on County systems so,
from a City point of view, it becomes beneficial.
Mr. Ryder asked if he did not feel it would be an additional
burden on the City in any way. Mr. Annunziato could not see
that it would be a substantial burden and could not see how
anything the Planning Council could do could substantially
affect Boynton Beach at this time because all of the land
use decisions are made. The zoning, land use, and utilities
are in place, and the roadways are programmed. There is not
much that is not known.
Mr. De Long added, "except how far perhaps you are going to
annex in the future and what situations may change." He
thought there were a lot of unknowns. His point was why
should they create a super agency when they have in place
all kinds of technicians. Mr. De Long asked, "Why duplica-
tion? Why another strata of red tape?" He reiterated prior
statements and stated that he knows a lot of people are at
odds for that very reason.
City Manager Cheney pointed out that the Planning Council is
prevented from being a permitting agency. It is a Planning
Council Agency. Mr. De Long asked if City Manager Cheney
was telling him that if this super agenCy is created, there
would be no adjunct or ancillary bureaucracies that might
impinge on it and that would control additional permitting.
City Manager Cheney repeated his first statement and added
that the Planning Council is not a review agency. It is an
agency to coordinate 38 comprehensive plans and see if it is
possible.
City Manager Cheney referred to an argument which was that
you cannot plan Palm Beach County wit~ 38 different organi-
zations doing it and have something that makes sense. It
will be a bureaucracy, and he explained. There will be a
planning staff that will take the plans, see if they fit
together, and serve the Planning Council. City Manager
Cheney said it is mainly to bring together 38 different
- 26 -
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 14, 1986
decision bodies who are making decisions as to how this
County is going to develop. The strongest point Mr.
Annunziato made was that it gives the municipalities a
chance to say what happens.
It seemed to City Manager Cheney that it would give the
whole east coast of the City some opportunity to say what
happens west of the City, which will have an impact on the
City. He referred to Boca Raton and Greenacres.
Mrs. Huckle stated that Jon Shudlick, Mayor of Ocean Ridge,
came out very vigorously against this. One of his arguments
was that if this were to pass, the bridge situation between
Boynton Beach and Ocean Ridge might have to be talked up to
the County to be satisfied. City Manager Cheney thought
that issue would be answered by the Supreme Court very soon.
Mrs. Huckle was talking about something on that order and
wondered if there would ever be a referee type of capacity
for this body. City Manager Cheney answered that the body
will ultimately adopt a Countywide coordinated Land Use Plan
that will coordinate 38 Land Use Plans. .At the same time,
there is wording in there that is in direct response to
Mayor Shudlick, that says the body cannot increase the
densities of a community that is established. Mrs. Huckle
pointed out that a lot of border line problems can come
between. City Manager Cheney said 38 conflicting situations
are coming into being now, and there is no way of settling
them. There was discussion.
City Manager Cheney thought the issue was whether they
thought the County could go on with 38 Comprehensive Plans
without any way of bringing about a compromise. It is now
becoming a conflict of interests. First off, Mr. Ryder
said the concept looks good but he wondered specifically how~
the City could benefit. City Manager Cheney said the city
cares about what will happen west of Boynton Beach and its
impact. Therefore, they should have some voice in it.
Someday, City Manager Cheney said the City will have an
improvement to Boynton Beach Boulevard, and development is
going on out there without any improvement to Boynton Beach
Boulevard. The only safeguard Mr. Ryder noted was that they
cannot increase the density.
Getting back to the conflict resolution issue, Mr.
Annunziato thought they would find with the way the planning
statutes are structured, that sooner or later there is going
- 27-
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
OCTOBER 14, 1986
to.be a conflict resolution body. The Regional Planning
Council is already beginning to position itself as a conflict
resolution body, and he expounded.
Mr. De Long pointed out that they still have the American
Jurisprudence system and relief in the Courts. City Manager
Cheney argued that they will not get relief. They will get
the problems solved at Treasure Coast, where the City has no
say, or by the State, where the City has totally no say.
They are going to be coordinated somewhere. City Manager
Cheney said they better coordinate them here in Palm Beach
County with our own people. It seemed to him they had the
obligation to be concerned with what happens Countywide.
The County planning process is giving up more than the 37
municipalities.
Mrs. Huckle noticed three members are required to be resi-
dents from each of the three largest cities. Everything she
read so far has put Delray Beach instead of Boynton Beach in
line for one of those seats. Mr. Annunziato said Delray
Beach cannot grow populationwise as quickly as Boynton Beach.
City Manager Cheney said that does not mean Boynton Beach
does not get a seat. There was more discussion.
Mrs. Huckle asked if it was in fine print as to how the
selections will be made from each individual municipality or
if it would be after the referendum goes through. She
wondered if there was a criteria by which they select people.
In most instances, Vice Mayor Zimmerman thought they would
be elected officials. Mrs. Huckle iasked if that was already
cast in dye. Vice Mayor Zimmerman advised that the Municipal
League will appoint the nine members. Three will have to be
from the three largest cities, and the remaining six will be
from different districts. The Municipal League is made up
of a Board of Directors that are appointed by various City
Councils throughout the County. The Councils will probably
make recommendations to the entire membership of the Munici-
pal League. Vice Mayor zimmerman guessed a vote at the
general membership meeting, which has representation from
every city, will make the final decision on who the people
will be.
City Manager Cheney said it would be the same procedure that.
is used for the four municipal representatives~on the Solid
Waste AUthority or the municipal representatives on the
Treasure Coast.

Vice Mayor Zimmerman informed the Board that Boynton Beach

Board of Directors (Vice Mayor Zimmerman is the representa-
tive for Boynton Beach). They have had three or four meet-
ings within the last month. (2) Practically every month
they have a membership meeting where a representative from
the Council and, in some instances, City Managers are repre-
sented, if Council Members are too occupied. The City is
not left out at all in appointing the nine members.
Mrs. Huckle again asked how they get down to the "nitty
gritty" of appointing the people. Vice Mayor Zimmerman was
sure their qualifications are considered but said it would
have to be someone who has the time to do it. If a person
on the City Council is employed full-time, especially by a
company that does not let them off very often, that indivi-
dual will not accept the job because it is time consuming.
The meetings very likely will be held in the day time.
Someone will have to be appointed that is willing to put the
time in without pay.
Chairman Trauger thanked Mr. Annunziato for the presentation.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board,
Mr. De Long moved, seconded by Mr. Wandelt to adjourn, and
the meeting properly adjourned at 9:45 p. M.

Recently, the State Legislature adopted legislation ~mending
Chapter 163 F.S. which became effective on July 1, 1986.
Included in the new legislation, commonly referred to as the
"Glitch Bill", Section 163.3184, is a provision exe_n~ng
certain small scale development activities from limits on
the frequency of local plan amendments as follows:
Any local government comprehensive plan amendm, e~-ts.
directly related to proposed small scale devel~pm~t
activities may be approved without regard to statutory
limits on the frequency of consideration of ~men/~ments
to the local comprehensive plan under the following
conditions:
The proposed amendment is a residential !arid use of
5 acres or less and a density of 5 units-per'acre
or less or involves other land use categories,
singularly or in combination with residential'use
of 3 acres or.~less and:.
a. The cumulative effect of the above condition
~shall not .exceed 30 acres annuaIly; and
b. The proposed amendment does not involv, e the
same property more than once a year;
c. The proposed amendment does not involve the
same owner's property within 200 feet of
property granted a change within .a period of
12 months.
2. The local government shall provide a Semiannual
report to the 'state land planning agency by July 1
and by Decembez 31 of each calendar year
summarizing the type and frequency of use of the
exemptions and the action taken on each by the
~-~ local government; and
3. A local government 'is not required to comply with
the requirements of s.163.3184(15)(c) for plan
amendments pursuant to this paragraph if the local
government substantially complies with the
provisions in s.163.31,84(15)(c) in a legal
advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation
within the local government's jurisdiction.
Therefore, within the context of the new legislation, the
Diaz request is exempt from the requirements for state
review as per item no. 1 above.

-FUTURE LAND USE AND REzONING
As reported in the analysis of the Post Office annexation,.
(November 1984) Palm Beach County revisited the issue of
future land use in the area south of the Boynton Beach Mall.
What resulted was an action on the part of the Palm Beach
County Board of County Commissioners to allocate future
potential for commercial uses.for the property located east
of Knuth Road, north of West Boynton Beach Boulevard, west
of Congress Avenue and south of the Old Boynton Road.
all likelihood, these ~ands will develop in the City asthey
are bordered on the north, east and south by current
corporate limits. This leaves the important decisio~as to
use to the Planning and~Zuning
In reaching these decisions,
the Board and the County need to be cognizant-of
factors including, but not limite, d to,~the proposat-~
construct an east/west road Avenue
Boynton Road, the existence forms ~
potential buffer to changes in land uses 124, ~owever,
has recently been culverted in places), existenc~mf
Knuith Roadfunctioning as a major cotl.ectorand
in the broader sense as an access to BeaCh Mall
and development of density land use~west
of Knuth Road (see C).
From a 'planning point o~ view, given the consideration that
the decision of commercial versus non-commercial la~d_use
has to a great degree b~en made, the primary concer~become
adequacy of infrastructure, knowied~e .of future private
sector development plan~, adequate buffering and arrangement
of future land uses, intensity of land use and the ~act of
existing land ~ses on future proposals. As related~tothis
area in general, the intensity of commercial land us~
should diminish westward of Mall access Road B and ncmth of
LWDD #24, with no commercial land uses permitted west of
KnUth Road other than those which exist along .BoyntonrBeach
BOulevard. The reasons for this are many and include the
impact of the Boynton Beach Mall, limitations on fu~re
markets, availability 9f infrastructure, particular!yroads
and the need to properly buffer existing and. proposed
residential areas west Of'Knuth .Road. Specifically, the
lands adjacent to both sides of Mall access Road B to
Congress Avenue and the lands between ~Boynton Beach
Boulevard and LWDD #24 should reflect a local retail !and
use category and a C-3 Community Commercial zoning '.
classification. These classifications recognize the impact
of ~he Mall with its attendant traffic impa~t and the
existing C-3 zoned lands in the vicinity, including
recently annexed Sabra Enterprises, Inc. tract (Greentree
Plaza II). However, the remainder of the lands east of.
Knuth Road and north of LWDD #24 should reflect an office
and professional land use category and be zoned C-l, or be
submitted as a Planned Commercial Development (PCD) with
office uses predominating. A minimum land area of 3 acres
is required for zoning to PCD.
In addition to the planning considerations, the City Cou~.cil
has, in the recent past, expressed their desire to seethe
corridor of land lying between the LWDD L-24 canal and~st
Boynton Beach Boulevard east of Knuth Dairy Road developed
for local retail uses as was evidenced with the annexation
of the Sabra Enterprises, Inc. tract (Greentree Plaza ~).
Therefore, within the context of the above, the Diaz
requests are both reasonable and practical.
COMPREHENSIVEPLAN POLICIES -
There are three policies in the ComprehensiVe Plan w~ich
address annexations as follows: ~-~.~
1. "Annex only property which is reasonably contigu~as to
present municipal boundaries;"
2o "Annex property only after the preparation of a study
evaluating the fiscal benefits of annexation versus the
cost of providing service;" and 7-'-
3. "Annex only properties which are of sufficient size to
provide efficient service and on which urban
development is anticipated."
In order to determine the consistency of the Diaz re--st
with the Comprehensive Plan PolicieS, each of'the three
policies will be addressed individually.
Policy 1 - "Annex only'-property which is reasonably
contiguous to the present municipal boundarie~s~"
The Diaz property is ~ontiguous to current muniCipal limits
along its entire southern and western propertY_lines (478
feet or 50%) of the total property boundary..~In ~ad~on,
this property lies in the path of urban development.
Policy 2 - Annex property.only after the preparation of a
study evaluating the fiscal benefits of annexation ve=sus
the cost of providing services."
In response to policy tWo, you will find accompanying this
memorandum Exhibit E which attempts to evaluate the cost to
the City of annexing this p~rcel and the dollars returned to
the City in taxes.
Policy 3 - "Annex only'properties which are of sufficient
size to provide efficient service and on which urban
development is anticipated."
As previously reported, the Diaz tract is 1.18 acres in size
and it is located in an area already developed in urb ~an land
uses.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Department recommends that the applications
submitted by Pedro M. Diaz, property owner, for annexation,
future land use element amendment and rezoning be app~oved
subject to the staff comments which accompany this
Memorandum as Exhibit ~E. This recommendation is based in
part on the following:
1. The parcel iscontiguous to the Corporate limits;
2. The parcel lies within a County pocket and it isin the
path of urban development;
3. The parcel is located within the City's municipal
service area;
The intensity of land use desired is appropriat~ ~oz the
location;
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive ~!an
policies for annexation;
6. The land use category r~equested must be conside~as a
part of an overall..strategy for annexation and it is
appropriate;
7. The zoning is consistent with the proposed, use oft he
sit,e; '
8. The request will n6t impair the value or futur~e~of
lands in the surrounding area; and,
The cost to serve versus the benefits received indicate
a positive return for the City.

Bethesda Memorial Hospital/O. Alan Jared II!,
et. al., Rezoning Request
SUMMARY: Universal Medical Buildings, IncoLrporated, ~ent
for O. Alan Jared III, et. al., property owners, and
Bethesda Memorial Hospital, applicant, is requestinq 't2~at a
1.40 acre parcel be rezoned from PU (Public Usage) Lo C-1
(Office/Professional). The Future Land Use Plan desig~ation
for this parcel is to remain unchanged (Office Commercial).
The property has a 349 foot frontage on South Seacrest
Boulevard and a 170 foot frontage on SW 26th Avenue
attached location map in Exhibit A). Currently, th~ subject
parcel is occupied by a one-story medical office b~ng
and the parking lot for. this building. The propos~e of
this property, if rezoned, would be to raize the
one-story structure and to combine this parcel with
property occupied by the .apar~ent complex to the west, for
the purpose of redeveloping both parcels for'a new ~o-story
mediCal office complex to be operated in affiliation with
Bethesda Memorial Hospital (see preliminary site p!~ in
~hibit B). Also proposed is the abando~ent~ of SW 2~
Avenue and a portion of SW 2nd Street to allow~ for
integration of the prgposed medical office c~mplex ~,~ the
existing hospital site.
SURRO~DING L~D USE ~D ZONING (SEE ATTACHED LOCA~ ~P
IN ~HIBIT A): ~utting the subject parcel ~to the e~ is
an 80 foot wide right-of-way for Seacrest Boulevard.
Further to the east, across Seacrest Boulevard,~ are two
medical office building~ zoned C-l, Office/Professional.
Abutting the subject parcel to the south i~ a fifty-f~ot
wide right-of-way for SW 26th Avenue. Further to the south,
across SW 26th Avenue, is the main parking lot for the
Bethesda Memorial Hospital. The main hospital site is zoned
PU (Public Usage). Abutting the subject parcel to the west
is an apartment complex zoned C-1 which consists of two
buildings which are two stories in height. This parcel,
under the s~e propert~ ownership, is to be co~ined with
the subject parcel and is to be redeveloped as a part of the
proposed medical office complex. Also abutting the s~ject
'parcel to the west (north of the apartment complex), is
patio home zoned C-1 which is in fair condition. Abutting
the subject parcel to the north is a 20-foot wide private
driveway which provides access to Seacrest Boulevard for the
patio home to the west. Further to the north, across
private driveway, are three single-family homes in the
Westchester Heights subdivision zoned R-1AA, Single-Family
Residential. These homes range in condition from fair to
good. Also to the north, at the southwest corner of
Seacrest Boulevard and SE 25th Avenue, is a two-story office
building zoned C-1 which fronts on Seacrest Boulevard.
PRESENT ~ZONING AND REZONING: The present PU zoning would
allow for the development of the same type of facilitJ~as
that proposed Under the C-1 (Office/Professional) zoning-.
The key difference between the two zoning categories with
regard to the proposed medical office complex is th_a~the PU
zoning category would limit the ~se of the proposed facitity
to non-profit uses, while the C-1 zoning category
for-profit enterprises, such as that proposed by the
applicant. It should also be noted that the proposed.~zoning
category (C-l) is generally more stringent with r, ega~dto
setbacks, minimum lot area, lot coverage and building height
than the present Public Usage zoning category.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN -.FUTURE LAND USE MAP: The Future Land
Use Plan shows this property to be under the "Office
Commercial" category. Therefore, an amendment to ~e.Future
Land Use Plan would not be necessary. It should alpo, be
noted that the proposed'Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report pr~poses
to change the land use designation on this parcel t~'"_~%~bli¢
and Private I~stitutional Governmental," in order to
correspond to the current Public Usage zoning and la~Iuse.
However, if the request to rezone to C-1 is approved~ then
this proposed change in land use would no longer be
necessary.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN - TEXT: The following Comprhensive Plan
pOlicies are relevant to this rezoning request:
"Provide a suitable living environment inali
neighborhoods." (p. 6) o
"Preserve the present stock of sound~dwellings and
neighborhoods." (p. 6)
"Provide a rang~e of land use types to accommodate a full
range of services and activities." (p. 7)
"Eliminate existing and potential land use conflicts." (p.
7)
"Encourage the development of complimentary land uses." (p.
7)
"Encourage the development of commercial land uses where
accessibility is greatest and where impacts to residential.
uses are minimized." (p. 7)
ISSUES/DISCUSSION:
1. Whether development of this property for office
commercial uses will have an adverse impact on
surrounding residential properties.
2. Whether commercial zoning of this property would be
consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies for the
location of commercial uses. L~
DISCUSSION IN RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE ISSUES:
Whether development of this property for office
commercial uses will have an adverse impact on
surrounding residential properties.
It is not anticipated that development of this property
for office/professional uses will have an adverse impact
on surrounding residential properties. The apartment
complex and patio home which abut the subject pa~cal to
the west are currently zoned C-1 in anticipation of
future redevelopment of these t~o parcels ~for office
commercial land uses, such as that proposed by the
applicant for the property occupied by the apar~ent
complex. Tn regard to the three single-f~amily homes
inthe Westchester Heights subdivision which abut~e
subject parcel to the north, the property._to be rezoned
is currently devel6ped for a medical office building
under the current PU zoning category. The-_propos~duse
of this property, if rezoned, will'essentially z~main
the same and will not result in a further~protru~on of
commercial zoning into the residential enclave tot he
north (Westchester'Heights). ~_
In regard to buffering, the C-1 zoning, regulations would
require a 30 foot building setback adjacent'to these
three residential properties and either a six-foot high
concrete block wall or a ~dense vegetative buffer of at
least two feet in height at the time of planting.
Cur.rentty, the subject parcel is screened from these
three residential lots by a dense vegetative buffer
along the majority of the common property boundary.
The required screening would have to be provided in
addition to the existing vegetative buffer. In
addition, any proposed parking lot or exterior lighting
along this property line should be directed away,'
from the abutting residential properties, including the
e
commercially-zoned patio home.
Whether commercial zoning of this property would be
consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies for the
location of commercial uses.
Commercial zoning of the subject parcel would be
consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies for the
location of commercial uses. The proposed rezoning
would represent an extension of the existing C-1 ~zoning
district which abuts the property to the north~andwest.
The proposed rezoning would also be in conformance with
the policy of rezoning the parcels which front .along
this section of Seacrest Boulevard to a C-1 zoning
classification with an Office Commercial land us~-
designation. The current lahd use designation~f~u~the
property in question is in fact Office Commerci~.
Therefore, the proposed C-1 zoning would corre_~ond to
the present land use. The proposed zoning woUi~=_!so be
in conformanCe with the Comprehensive Plan po!icy~which
encourages the development of complimentary laDd_uses.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATION: Rezoning of the subject.~cel
to C-1 (Office/prOfessional) would not create a conf~_~ct
with surrounding land uses and would be consistent with7
Comprehensive Plan policies for the location of Office
Commercial land uses. Rezoning to C-1 would atso~ ~-~
consistent with the ~resent and future use of this property
and is more restrictive,in certain r~egards than-~ current
PU zoning. Therefore, it is the Planning Departmen=';s
recommendatio~ that the application for rezon±ng to C-I,
Office/Professional, be approved subject to.the condition
that any proposed exterior lighting along the north.lmrDperty
line be directed away,from the abutting residentia!~.

2. Parking lot layout and design on paving and drainage o!ans to conform

4. There is insufficient room to the rear of the buildin~ with regard
to opening of rear doors, access, loading activities, trash removal,
etc. It is recommended,that the rear driveway be at ~east 20 feet
wide to provide sufficient room to accomodate these activities
and to allow for a greater turning radius around the co~ners of

RE: The Grove Shopping Center Site Plan ModifTcation
Revised Shared Parkin9 Allocation.:-
Section ll-H (13) of the Zoning Code contains the following,
recently-amended provision for shared parking:
13. Parking spaces required in this Ordinance for ~one use
or structure may be allocated in part:or in w~ie for
the required parking spaces of another use or--~Lructure
if quantitative evidence is provided showing that
parking demand for the different uses or ~struc~ares
would occur on different days of the week or at
different hours..- Quantitative evidence-shall include
but not be limited to the following: ~_~
(a) Field studies and traffic counts-prepared by a
traffic consultant experienced in-parkin~ studies.
(b) AdjuStments for seasonal variatio~s.
(c) Estimates for peak parking'demand~ased on
statistical data furnished by theUrban Land
Institute or some other recogniZediand p~ing
and design ~rganization. ~_
All data furnished must be statistically valid. In
addition, a minimum.buffer of 10% shall be provided to
ensure that a sufficient number of parking spaces are
available at times of peak hour use. Said buffer is to
becalculated based on the folloWing formula:
Buffer = ~urplus shared parkinq1
on-site + shared parking provided2 X 100 %
lshared parking spaces not required by the City of
Boynton Beach zoning regulations for the proposed
use.
2parking spaces required for the proposed use as
per the City of Boynton Beach zoning regulations.
Evidence for joint allocation of required space shall be
submitted to the Technical Review B6ard, and approval 'of
joint allocation of required parking spaces shall be made by
the Council, after review and recommendations by the
Planning and Zoning'Board. -
With respect to the above, Goldenholz-Fischer Arc~tects and
Planners, agent for the Grove Partners Limited,
requesting approval of an amended shared parking allocation
in connection with a site plan modification to
previously approved shopping center. The shopping center is
to be located at the intersec6ion of Federal Hiqk~w=.-g~and Old
Dixie Highway, west side. The applicant is requesting
approval of the revised shared parking al!ocation ~ order
to allow for the addition of a 22,000 square foot ~nema
which would include six screens and 1,470 fixedly.
The proposed modification would include 140,633 ~q~_~are feet
of retail floor space and the 1,470 seat (22,.0-0.0) square
foot cinema. The par~ing requirement for the retail
shopping center is 140,633 % 200 = 703 spaces, wh/3~e the
parking requirement for the cinema is 1470 seats ~ 4 = 368
spaces. The proposed site plan would provide for 431
on-site parking spaces which would meet the~cOde requirement
for the retail floor ~pace with the remaining 228 parking
spaces being allocated to the cinema. The additional
parking reqdired for_the 1470 seat ~cinema (368 -.228 = 140
spaces) is to be shared parking.
According to the Shared Parking Study prepared by Keith and
Schnars, P.A. for.the Grove Shopping.Center, the pe~k hour
demand for parking for both the retail shopping center and
the cinema combined would occur on Saturday aft.ernoons
between the hours of.1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. This
projectionof peak hour parking demand is basedon Urban'
Land Institute data which has been adjusted in part to
incorporate site specific .conditions. B&sed on this worst
case scenario the highest parking accumulation for the
retail portion .of the *shopping center would occur at
approximately 2:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon and would require
514 of the required 703 parking spaces required by code,
leaving a Statistical surplus of 189 parking spaces to be
shared by the cinema as follows:
On-site parking allocated to cinema = 228 spaces
Shared parking available from retail = 189 s~ace~
Total parking available to cinema at peak = 417 spaces
The above analysis indicates that sufficient parking is
available at peak hour use to meet the zoning code
requirement for the cinema (368 spaces) leaving a
statistical surplus of 49 shared parking spaces to be
allocated toward the calculation of the required 10% buffer
as follows: ..
49
X-100% = 13.3% ~
228 + 140 'i ~_- -
Therefore, given the worst case scenario of'total parking
accumulation (Saturdays at 2:00 p.m.), the shared p~rking
allocation for the Grove Shopping Center would s~i!allow
for a statistical surplus of at least 49 parking~ ~aces.
On Tuesday, October 7, 1986 the Technical 'Review Board met
at which time they recommended approval of the Sh=~
Parking allocation as submitted. It was the conse~_~-us of
the TRB that the proposed shared parking allocation was
prepared and documented in accordance with code requirements
and that there was s~fficient opportunity avait~!~ for
shared parking to occur on-site given the mix of us~s in the
proposed shopping center

The following guide lines will be followed in order to protect the oak trees on
the above mentioned site. The clearinG and fill operation will begin at the
south end of the property at which time the oak trees at the north end of the
property ~ill be tagged and categorized in the followinG manner:
1) to be removed and discarded --
2) to be relocated
3) to remain undisturbed
Once the identificatior~ is complete and inspected by the fo~rester, the
the unwanted trees will be removed in order to allow for easy access to the
protected trees.. O~ce the area is cleared of unwanted materials the final
preparaticms as. set forth in the tree management plan will be made (under the
supervisiom, of the forrester)for the relocation.
The fill operation will be '~oncentrated on the areas which will be receiving 'the
relocated oaks. These oaks will be relocated t~o the new permanent locations to
avoid .any-other unnecessary further relocations.
During the ~location process tree wells will be constructed as required for the
oak~ that will remain undisturbed.
Until such time that the tree wells are completed and found aceptable by the '
forrester th~ fill operation will remain at a ~afe distance determined by the
forrester.
As discussed~ with Kevin once the oaks are relocated, they will be protected from
the construction activities and will be watered two times a day for the first
two weeks and once a day for the followinG two weeks. At the end of four weeks
