Project Name: Lakeside (Blum Property) - TABLED 10/8/85 - 1 - MINUTES ~- PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Agent: Owner: Location: Description: D. M. Ambrose Associates, Inc. Peter Blum North of Old Boynton Road, East of N. W. 10th Street Request for approval of construction plans and preliminary plat which pro- vides for the construction of infra- structure improvements to serve a twenty-four (24) lot single family subdivision Mrs. Huckle moved to remove the item from the table, seconded by Mr. Pagliarulo. Motion carried 7-0. Mr. Annunziato informed everyone this is located on the bend in Old Boynton Road as you go west from Boynton Beach Boule- vard. It lies to the east of the church, alongside of undeveloped N. W. 10th Street. This proposes the relocation of N. W. 10th Street eastward to intersect further from the intersection with Boynton Beach Boulevard and also ties into the recently approved Costa Bella Subdivision, which is under construction. Mr. Annunziato continued that they were waiting for the land value, as the Planning and Zoning Board is responsible for making a recommendation to the City Council in connection with the land value for recreation and parks dedication purposes through the subdivision regulations. A copy of the land value was received. The Technical Review Board recommended that the plat be approved, subject to staff comments from the Engineering and Planning Departments, and noted that the land value per acre for recreation and parks dedication purposes was based on a recently submitted appraisal of $35,000 an acre. Mr. Annunziato advised the Board Members that some lots were deficient in lot size. When final platted, all lots will have to have at least 8,000 square feet, consistent with the zoning requirements. Mr. Annunziato added that these comments were in addition to those listed in the agenda packets. D. M. Ambrose, P.E., D. M. Ambrose Associates, Inc., Consulting Engineers - Land Surveyors, 6190 North Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33431, had the former comments, which are still in force, and understood the new comment on the 8,000 square feet. - 2 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mr. Pagliarulo moved to approve the preliminary plat, subject to staff comments. Mr. Wandelt seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. B. SITE PLAN Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Humana Medfirst - TABLED 10/8/85 (To be considered February 11, 1986) Randy B. Oakes, Project Manager Robert Q. and Doris E. Wyckoff Clarence H. and Airane S. Lansford South side of Boynton Beach Boulevard, east of N. W. 7th Street Request for site plan approval to construct a 3,125 square foot medical clinic on .58 acres Mr. Annunziato confirmed Chairman Ryder's statement that a traffic impact study was lacking here and added that subse- quent to the initial review of the plan, the applicant is going to ask the Board for recommendations on a variance to the parking lot regulations as a result of the traffic impact statement analysis. The applicant is also requesting an abandonment of a utility easement which runs east/west through the property. As a result, there is some reconfigu- ration of utilities involving a rear yard two inch water main which is to be taken out of service and replaced. Mr. deLong moved to leave this item on the table, seconded by Mrs. Huckle. Motion carried 7-0. NEW BUSINESS A.

East side of Lawrence Road, south of Hypoluxo Road N½ of S½ of NW¼ of NW~ of Sec. 7, Twp. 45 South, Rge. 43 East, Palm Beach County, Florida, excepting therefrom a strip of land 40 feet in width on each side of the County road - 3 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Description: and excepting any right-of-way for any and all public roads and easements and restrictions of record. Request to annex a 9.3814 acre tract of land LAND USE ELEMENT AMENDMENT AND REZONING Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Honeybell Hollow (The Grove) Dr. Thomas F. Kelsey - Shalloway, Inc. Middle States Coal Company, Inc. East side of Lawrence Road, south of Hypoluxo Road Request to show annexed land as Moderate Density Residential and to rezone from AR (Agricultural Resi- dential) to a Planned Unit Develop- ment with Land Use Intensity = 7 to permit the development of 46 town- house units Chairman Ryder advised these could be considered together, but the Board would vote on them separately. Mr. Annunziato said the property is contiguous to the city at the Knollwood Groves orange grove. He read his memorandum dated January 6, 1986, which said the Planning Department recommended that the request for Future Land Use Element Amendment and Rezoning submitted by the applicant be denied and that the subject property be developed for large lot, single family homes, under the R-1AAA zoning category with a land use category of Low Density Residential. Mr. Annunziato said the staff comments from the Planning, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Personnel and Purchasing Departments and Forester/Horticulturist, as well as "Exhibit C" in the agenda packages, should be attached to the applica- tion if the Board recommended it for approval. The combina- tion of these would suggest that there could be a change in the zoning and land use requested, and the Technical Review Board (TRB) felt a set of other comments was appropriate to this application. Dan Shalloway, P. E., Shalloway Inc., Consulting Engineers, 932 North Dixie Highway, Lake Worth, Florida 33460, repre- senting the Johnsons and Middle States Coal Company, Inc. on the project, informed the Board Members that they had a disagreement with the City staff because of their recommenda- - 4 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 tion on the use of the property. They first came to the City over a year ago for this piece of property, which was in Palm Beach County. The way the property is currently shown on the Land Use Plan, Mr. Shalloway said they would be allowed five units per acre, so they felt they should be able to get close to that. Mr. Shalloway continued that they obviously needed water and sewer. In approaching the City, they were basically told that the only way they would get utilities would be if they annexed into the City. The applicant had no objection to coming into Boynton Beach, submitted an application, and has been working with the staff for about a year, based on a project that they have done several things to. Mr. Shalloway said they originally came in with 49 units. After several meetings, they dropped to 46 units, redesigned their water and sewer plans, changed the location of their lift station so future projects could be served, changed the unit loca- tions so they would not back out on major streets, and did a number of things. As late as December, Mr. Shalloway said they met with the TRB and felt they had everything "licked". At the beginning of this month, they were exceptionally surprised, in looking at the pattern of the area, when they were informed their density was too high. Mr. Shalloway thought the Board had to take it out of the microcosm of just the four immediate pieces of property and realize they were looking at a very large situation. Mr. Shalloway informed the Members that there really are four major pieces of property there. He thought everyone was realizing that the piece of property on the corner of Hypoluxo Road and Lawrence Road, occupied by a few houses, will ultimately be developed into something very intense because of the intersection of two major roads. It is across from the high school and is certainly not in a loca- tion where you would want rural lots. The owner of the property immediately to the south of the applicant's property was present, and Mr. Shalloway said the owner would speak in support of their density and certainly would not favor this kind of pocket of low density. The only thing left were the groves, and Mr. Shalloway did not want to speculate how that would go. South of that are trailer parks, and on the other side of Lawrence Road are things in the County which will be allowed to go to five units per acre or more. - 5 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mr. Shalloway informed the Members that the Barwood project has eight units per acre. To the east of them is the Meadows with 4.82 units per acre, which is within a tenth of the density they are asking for. Mr. Shalloway stressed that everything around there is in the high 4s or greater denSity, and'they have one little pocket where the City staff was recommending that they have a density close to half of that. North of Hypoluxo Road is very intense with the school, and Mr. Shalloway said this Lawrence Road corridor basically connects the school, Motorola, and everything else that they figure will be a very intense pocket. He certainly did not feel it was the place to put an estate type project. Mr. Shalloway admitted that it was an orange grove but said the orange grove has passed its economic life, and the trees are not the kind of thing that produce where you can justify the property as a grove any more. Land values are such that you cannot justify replanting the trees. Mr. Shalloway talked to the City staff, and the applicant volunteered that if the character of the area as a grove is a concern, they would be willing to get back with the staff and work on a redesign of the project and try to keep the character of the orange grove and save the maximum trees. He thought by putting them in estate zoning, the owners would be put into a very hard position where they could not afford to put things on the lots which would sell at a very, very large amount of money, and it would put them out of a market. Mr. Shalloway commented that they were in a Catch 22 situa- tion and felt very strongly that the City needed to broaden its view in looking at the parcel. He thought the City should look at the entire area. Just because it is an orange grove right now, Mr. Shalloway said the Members should not think they needed to have low density. Mr. Shalloway did not think there was really any opposition to this, as it was generally the character of the area. There was laughter and shouts from the audience that he would be surprised. Vice Chairman Trauger asked if Mr. Shalloway had driven down some of the streets and looked at the nice houses and the layouts in the vicinity to the north. Mr. Shalloway answered affirmatively. Vice Chairman Trauger said there were low density, lovely homes in the area, and he believed - 6 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 it would be unfair to impact this project on them. As a developer, he asked Mr. Shalloway if he really tried to make the project fit to a degree of marketability in low density, single family houses. Mr. Shalloway thought the developer and owner of the property, Dick Johnson, should address that issue. Traditionally, Mr. Shalloway said when you annex into a city, you do not take anything away. Right now, on the County Land Use Plan, you are allowed to get up to five units per acre, and he said they were being "blackmailed" because they were being told by the City that the City will hold the utilities to force them into a lower type of density. Mr. Shalloway thought that was a misuse of utility powers. In other~words, the City is offering water and sewer if they reduce their density, and he did not think it was a fair way to treat someone who was coming in and asking for no more than they currently have and are allowed under the County Land Use Plan. Mr. Annunziato noticed there was a supposition that actions taken in the County would differ substantially from actions taken in the City. He did not necessarily feel that an opposition was placed on record by the City of Boynton Beach or by the residents in the area. Given the kinds of rela- tionships established over the last four and five months between the City and the County at the policy making level, Mr. Annunziato did not think the applicant would do any better in the County than in the City. Mr. Shalloway asked if the City would allow them to have the utilities without annexation. Mr. Annunziato replied that he would have to address that to the City Council. If there was a belief in that, Mr. Shalloway expressed that they would like a chance to stay in the County and just have City water and sewer. Chairman Ryder interjected that Mr. Shalloway was basing his request on that objection and said the City was concerned with what is there now and what may occur in the future. He felt it hardly seemed advisable at this time to go with a multi-level condominium in view of what is there already, the adjacent zoning, and what may happen. The Planning Director was advocating what was similar to the R1AAA zoning to the east. Chairman Ryder emphasized that it was not a contention of whether the City would give them water and sewer. It was whether they felt the project would be compatible with what is there. - 7 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mr. deLong asked what kind of density Mr. Shalloway was proposing. Mr. Shalloway answered, "4.9 units per acre, which is consistent with the projects recently developed in the area." Drino Ribouli, 229 North Country Club Drive, Atlantis, Florida 33462, owner of the property to the south, informed the Board Members that his property is on the east side of Lawrence Road and south of the grove in question right now. He stated that the County would give them the right to have five units per acre, but he thought it would be a privilege for them to join with the City of Boynton Beach, as the City is growing, and they would have water and sewer right in front of them. It would not only be a benefit to them but would also benefit the City if the applicant moved with Boynton Beach. Mr. Ribouli told the Members that the property was purchased with the understanding of what the County had at the time and, that basically, the City would enforce the same kind of a code. They were not trying to ask for anything different than what the County would have given them all along. Mr. Ribouli was realizing that the County and City had two different kinds of thinking. Mr. Ribouli supported the annexation and informed Chairman Ryder that he has five acres, more or less. He agreed with Chairman Ryder that his property did not seem to be com- patible with condominiums but said he planned to come to the City very soon and apply for the same changes. Mr. Ribouli told Mr. Winter that he has owned his property sinCe 1974. Mrs. Huckle asked if Mr. Ribouli was leasing the property. Mr. Ribouli replied that he has someone in residence who maintains the grounds. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor of the request. Morgan S. Bragg, Attorney at Law, Barrister's Building, Suite 500, 1615 Forum Place, West Palm Beach, Florida, who lives immediately north of the property in question and south of Hypoluxo Road, was representing Mr. and Mrs. Whitman, who live immediately to the south of the property in question, and Mr. and Mrs. Stevens, who are just to the east of Mr. Ribouli's property. He was also representing Mr. Grillo and the Marcellos, who live to the north of the property in question. - 8 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mr. Pagliarulo asked Attorney Bragg if he was speaking in favor of the request. Attorney Bragg was speaking against the request. As no one else wished to speak in favor of the request, Attorney Bragg was instructed to proceed. Attorney Bragg presented an exhibit and said the area in question was shown with the red slashes. He designated the County and City areas and indicated the various zoning classifications. Attorney Bragg said the area in question is zoned Agricultural/Residential with minimum five acre plots~. The plots existing there are less than five acres but~have been grandfathered in because of the development of the plan after the particular lots were created. Chairman Ryder asked if Attorney Bragg and the homeowners have something equivalent to a five acre plot. Attorney Bragg replied that they have approximately two plus acre plots and some over five acres. The exhibit showed the plots in greater detail. Immediately to the north were four particular parcels. The one on the corner, along Lawrence Road, is about 1.7 acres, and Attorney Bragg has a contract to purchase it and put his mother and a housekeeper there, next door to his present home. Attorney Bragg pointed to the next lot in, which was his, and ~said it is 2.5 acres with a large two story house located on it. Immediately east of that is the Stevens' house, which has approximately 3,000 square feet and is located on 2.17 acres. Immediately to the east of that is a plot with a little over three acres where there is a very nice single family home owned by Mr. Grillo. To the south of the property in question and on the east side of the south ten acres (approximately) is the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Whitman, which is on a parcel consisting of approxi- mately 6.38 acres. Attorney Bragg said Mr. Ribouli apparently is the owner of the property to the west of the Whitmans and to the south of the property in question, and his property is about 3.99 acres. He observed that Mr. Ribouli obviously does not live there but rents the property out and lives in Atlantis. Attorney Bragg stated that the entire area from Congress west, which is part of the County, is Low Density Residen- tial. There are various types of development in The Meadows subdivision, but it is still classified as Low Density Residential. Towards the west, there is a strip of land presently zoned City Property, R1AAA. To the west of that - 9 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 is Knollwood Groves, which is zoned Agricultural, and it was Attorney Bragg's understanding that it was the only agri- cultural land zoned that way in the City of Boynton Beach, and he submitted that there was nothing wrong with that kind of an area in the City. Attorney Bragg said a picture shows really what the property is and presented an aerial taken over a year ago. It did not show the development of the shopping center at the corner of Hypoluxo Road and Congress Avenue but showed very accurately the present, existing area where the property seeking to be annexed and rezoned is located. Attorney Bragg indicated the four parcels of land immediately to the north, the two parcels immediately to the south, and the entire orange groves of Knollwood Groves. He showed all of the land that was zoned Agriculture and said according to the County, the trailer park is also zoned Agricultural/ Residential. Attorney Bragg was sure that at some time he and those he represented would be a part of the City but submitted that Boynton Beach had room for the type of community they developed. They purchased their property under the exist- · ng zoning, resting on the representation they had in the County Commission. A couple of years ago, Attorney Bragg's neighbor sought to rezone the property he Ks purchasing to cut off the back 1/2 acre so that they could build a house on it and have a one acre lot and a 1/2 acre lot. The County Commission turned it down because it was not in keeping with the environment of this particular area and would be spot zoning. With the development of Boynton Beach, where there is Low Density Residential moving into R1AAA, leaving room for an agricultural rural sort of setting which the present City zoning regulations permit (2.5 acres for single family homes), Attorney Bragg submitted that, if necessary, they could create a variance, when people come in for the zoning of that particular area, to perhaps 2, 1-1/2, or one acre lots to be consistent with the development, so that as you go west from Congress Avenue, you would go from a Low Density Residential to a more open area of R1AAA into an Agricultural area which would permit single family dwellings on large lots. In that area, Attorney Bragg said people have horses and chickens that may or may not be permitted. He was unable to - 10 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 get a complete copy of the City Code and said even with R1AAA, people like Mr. Whitman may not be able to keep the same type of livestock that he keeps now. It would certainly be inconsistent with the development of a 46 unit condominium on less than ten acres. Attorney Bragg submitted that the petition for rezoning should be denied. He and the homeowners he represented want to become a part of Boynton Beach but want their area, which would be an asset, developed in a very low density in keeping with their ways and the investments they have made in the area. Mr. Charles A. Whitman told the Members his wife and he own the east section of the property to the south of the grove. He owns the largest section on the south side. Mr. Whitman bought the property 17 years ago for a home to raise his family and grandchildren on. He has chickens, 3 horses and a couple of ponies and intends to keep it that way. Mr. Whitman asked what will happen when his grandchildren get to be 8 or 10 years of age if he does not have a place to farm and for them to ride their ponies. Although he is for progress, he urged the Board Members not to wipe out something he started 17 years ago. Chairman Ryder thought Attorney Bragg's displays were very informative because they showed the proposed parcel was entirely surrounded by single plots of more or less five acres. He felt it would be a tragic thing to introduce condominiums in their midst. If the 9.38 acres were annexed as one motion, Vice Chairman Trauger asked if they could make the next motion Low Density. Mr. Annunziato thought the Board could. The Board has recommended a more restrictive zoning classification than requested by applicants twice. It would be consistent with the advertisements the City placed in the newspaper to recommend an equal or more restrictive zoning classification. In his memorandum, Mr. Annunziato told Vice Chairman Trauger the staff comments were combined, as they were actually responding to two different applications. The issues are separate but, because they are so intertwined, it did not make sense to talk about them separately. Mr. Annunziato assured Vice Chairman Trauger that there was no question that the City staff recommended the parcel be annexed. It was consistent with the Council's policies, the straw ballot - 11 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 referendum for squaring off the City's limits, met the Comprehensive Plan's criteria for annexation, and should be in Boynton Beach. The City Staff's disagreement with the applicant was over the form of development and the density proposed. Mr. Pagliarulo asked what sort of Land Use intensity R1AAA allows. Mr. Annunziato could not begin to tell him and added that the Land Use intensity ratios are based on the numbers of square feet of building, parking, and impervious areas. It looked like they could put 24 lots for the entire ten acres, which turned out to be about 1/3rd of an acre each. He thought they would be about 107x137 deep with a standard, local street down the center. It seemed to Chairman Ryder that R1AAA was the most restrictive zoning classification. From the portions of the Zoning Code he got, Attorney Bragg understood there was an AG zoning classification, where you can put one unit for 2.5 acres and have agricultural activi- ties. Attorney Bragg felt this would be very consistent with the development to the north and south, or they could get a variance from the AG zoning down to one acre lots, which would be semi-consistent with the general area. R1AAA is the most restrictive residential zoning the City has but not the most restrictive. RIAAA requires 1,500 square feet of space and also requires a 2,200 square foot residence on the premises, which would equate to approximately 24 units on ten acres. There was discussion about property which had been for sale or is now for sale. Mr. deLong had referred to land which Mr. Annunziato said was south of and adjacent to Miner Road, where the City has its master lift station. The property was zoned in the County at a density of eight units, but the applicant failed to act, and Mr. Annunziato believed the County reverted the property back to Agricultural/Residential. Attorney Bragg said the property is still in the County. Motion on Annexation Vice Chairman Trauger moved that the annexation request be recommended to the City Council as acceptable and to include that portion of Lawrence Road adjacent to the site. Mr. Winter seconded the motion. Mr. Annunziato explained to Mrs. Huckle that the Zoning Code requires that when you annex, you rezone, but this was - 12 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 a recommendation to annex. If the Council determines they want to annex the property, at that time they will have to place a Land Use category and Zoning category on it. The Board was acting on two separate applications. A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Motion on Land Use Element Amendment and Rezoning Chairman Ryder read the Planning Department's recommendation that it be rezoned to R1AAAo Mr. Wandelt moved to deny the request for rezoning. Instead of denying the zoning entirely, Chairman Ryder advised that the Board could submit an alternative to the Council. Mr. Annunziato clarified that the City Staff's comment was that the Board recommend to the City Council a zoning of R1AAA and not the zoning requested by the appli- cant. Mr. Wandelt then moved to deny the applicant's request and recommend that the property be rezoned to R1AAA, subject to staff comments. Vice Chairman Trauger seconded the motion, and the motion carried 6-1. Mr. Winter opposed the motion because he would have preferred AG zoning. CONDITIONAL USE Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Rainbow City Grocery Store George C. Davis Arthur L. Matthews, Jr. North Seacrest Boulevard at N.

Davis Arthur L. Matthews, Jr. North'Seacrest Boulevard at N. W. 19th Avenue, southwest corner Request for relief from Sections 5-141(g)(3) "Driveways" and 5-141(e) "Drainage" of the Parking Lot Regulations - 13 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mr. Golden read the six page memorandum dated January 8, 1986 from Mr. Annunziato. With reference to the 5th comment on page 4 of Mr. Annunziato's memo, the Planning Department had originally recommended that the applicant continue the wall on the southern property boundary. However, in a discussion with the Recreation Department today, Mr. Golden said the comment had been modified to provide a chain link fence instead. The Recreation Department felt this would be appropriate, as they did not want to "pen in" the applicant on his corner. Mr. Golden read the staff comments from the Forester/Horti- culturalist, Engineering and Planning Departments. He thought the memo from Richard Donovan, Chief Plan Reviewer, dated January 8, 1986, was just for internal purposes. Regarding the 5th comment in the one page memo of Mr. Annunziato dated January 8, 1986, as previously mentioned, the comment regarding the six foot high concrete wall was modified to provide a chain link fence. Mr. Golden read the "Conclusions/Recommendations" from page 6 of Mr. Annunziato's six page memo, which recommended that the application be approved subject to the conditions set forth in the memo and the staff comments. Chairman Ryder asked if an entrance on 19th Avenue and two on Seacrest Boulevard were proposed and why all of that would be needed. There was some discussion and confusion about the driveways. As Mro Cannon pointed to the locations on the overlay, Mr. Annunziato clarified that the applicant was requesting that there be two driveways on Seacrest (one in closer proximity to N. W. 19th Avenue than the other). As a result of the request for a variance, the TRB was recommending that only the southernmost driveway be per- mitted to remain or be reconstructed, and not the northern one on Seacrest. The southernmost driveway is to be located 25 feet north of the south property line, consistent with the requirements of the Zoning Code. Mr. Annunziato confirmed Chairman Ryder's comment that this appeared under the variance request. Arthur L. Matthews, Jr., 1262 Gondola Court, Boynton Beach, had nothing to add to what was said. Chairman Ryder asked if Mr. Matthews understood the conditions that were dictated with regard to this. Mr. Matthews answered that he under- stood. He had worked with Mr. Annunziato, and the presenta- tion was exactly what they had discussed. Mr. Matthews told Mr. Wandelt that he did have one problem with the recommenda- - 14 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 tions but does not any more. Vice Chairman Trauger thought Mr. Matthews should be complimented because it would be a great improvement there. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to the application for Conditional Use, and there was no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Motion on Conditional Use Vice Chairman Trauger moved that the Planning and Zoning Board recommend to the City Council approval of the request for Conditional Use, subject to staff comments. Mr. Wandelt seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Discussion re Parking Lot Variance Mr. Annunziato said the request was reviewed by the TRB, and the TRB recommended that the Planning and Zoning Board approve in part and deny in part. The recommendations to ~pprove concerned the drainage, which the TRB feels will be · mproved as a result of the landscaping adjacent to Seacrest and the pitch of the parking. Mr. Annunziato thought they had discussed the parking lot variance request for the driveways so that it was clear in everybody,s mind. Staff recommended that only the southernmost driveway be permitted to continue on Seacrest and not the northernmost driveway. Mr. Matthews had no comments. Chairman Ryder asked if any- one wished to speak in favor or in opposition to the appli- cation, and there was no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Motion on Parking Lot Varianco Mr. Winter moved that the request be approved, subject to staff comments. Mr. Pagliarulo seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. THE BOARD TOOK A RECESS FROM 8:40 P. M. UNTIL 8:50 P. M. B. SUBDIVISIONS PRELIMINARY PLAT Project Name: Agent: Chalet IV of Boynton Plats 3 & 4 (Sandalwood) Nancy Metzger - Wantman & Associates - 15 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Owner: Location: Description: Chalet IV Corporation Miner Road at Congress Avenue, southwest corner Request for the approVal of the construction plans and preliminary plat which provides for the construc- tion of infrastructure improvements to serve 100 units in Plat 3 and 88 units in Plat 4 in connection with a previously approved Planned Unit Development (PUD) Mr. Golden reminded the Members that the plat was submitted in September for review but could not go forward because of problems with the engineering for utilities. Wantman & Associates, Inc. remodified their plans and resubmitted them. The Technical Review Board recommended approval, subject to staff comments. Mr. Golden informed the Members that Plat 3 also includes a private recreation area. The locations of Plats 3 and 4 are on the interior of the looped collector road, which is called "Sandalwood Drive". This is immediately west of and across the lake from Plats 1 and 2 and represents the northeast portion of the PUD. Access to Plats 3 and 4 will be provided by Sandalwood Drive, which links Congress Avenue to proposed Miner Road, which will be constructed in conjunction with the development of the Melear PUD. Mr. Golden read the staff comments from the Planning, Engineering, and Utilities Departments. Nancy Metzger, Wantman & Associates, Inc., 2328 South Congress Avenue, West Palm Beach, Florida 33406, was aware of the staff comments and had no problems with them. Mr. deLong moved that the preliminary plat be accepted, subject to staff comments. Mr. Winter seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. C.

However, it was withdrawn prior to the City Council meeting, owing to a comment from the Planning Department that additional parking would be required for the recreation area because the applicant felt the comment would necessitate redesigning the recreation area and possible elimination of one or more recreation facilities. Instead of going through a site plan modification for the recreation area, the applicant felt it would be more expedient to withdraw the site plan prior to the Council's approval and resubmit it for the January review after having resolved the parking situation for the recreation area. The additional parking has been provided on the revised site plan, and Mr. Golden said this would not require significant changes to the recreation area. The TRB recommended approval of the site plan, subject to staff comments from the Engineering and Utilities Departments and the Forester/Horticulturalist, which Mr. Golden read. Mr. Golden informed the Members that the fourplex townhouse units are being advertised in the high $50,000s and low $60,000s. A recreation area is also included in Plat 3, which includes four tennis courts, four racquetball courts, a basketball court, and a swimming pool with a gazebo and a bath house in the southwest corner of the site plan. Chairman Ryder asked what the status was of the loop road which will exit into Miner Road. Mr. Annunziato answered that it was approved and bonded as part of Plats 1 and 2 and will be extended as a bonded improvement as part of Plats 3 and 4. Within 21 months, it will have to be in place, as will Miner Road. JoEllen Leisinger, Urban Design Studio, 2000 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, Suite 600, West Palm Beach, Florida 33409, concurred with all of the staff comments but added that she had to get with Mr. Annunziato so she could be sure she understood what he was talking about. - 17 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mrs. Huckle moved to approve the site plan, subject to staff comments. Mr. Winter seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Greentree Plaza II Kieran J. Kilday Edward I. Singer Boynton Beach Boulevard West at Knuth Road, northeast corner Request for site plan approval to construct a 20,000 square foot retail/office comple~ Chairman Ryder recalled that the Board approved the annex- ation but denied the zoning request at a previous meeting. Subsequently, the City Council decided to approve the request for C-3 conditionally. When the application wen~ to the City Council with the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation, Mr. Annunziato said there was some discussion as to the appropriate s~t of uses for that location and for similarly located parcels of land. It was determined that one use, in most people's minds, that would not be acceptable was the gasoline station, which would have been a permitted use in the C-3. The administrative staff offered to the Council a recommen- dation to overcome the necessity to deny applications, based on one or more uses which may not be acceptable to the City because of the zoning classification requested and said there were several uses within a particular zoning classifi- cation that would be acceptable. The Board's recommendation to the Council was to tie any agreements for annexation or utility agreements into a site plan for which the property could only be developed. In this instance, Mr. Annunziato said there was also the fear that C-3 zoning would provide for four story buildings~ Before the Board was a site plan consistent with the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances, which allowed for a retail/office complex of 20,000 square feet in two story form that Mr. Annunziato said the Board should review as though it were in the City. He clarified that it will not be in the City until perhaps the end of 1986 because of the way the State Statutes are currently drafted. However, if it is constructed in the County, the structure and uses which could be placed in that building will be compatible with those which are consistent with the intent of the City Council for land development at that corner. - 18 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mr. Annunziato apprised the Members that this was why they went through the site plan review process for attracting land in the unincorporated County. The site plan finally approved by the Council will be the one which will be attached to the Utility Agreement. Following the activities of the City with the State, it will be annexed as a completed building but will be consistent with the Utility Agreement and the site plan which was now before the Board. Mr. Annunziato informed the Members that this was a process they would be seeing more of as the Council determines and becomes more and more aware of what uses should go where and in what form. Mr. Annunziato told the Members they will be acting on site plans in the unincorporated County. The plans will be tied to utility agreements, and the utility agreements will become part of the applicant's application to the County for zoning. Th~en there will be the annexation of developed properties. Mr. Annunziato added that it will take a lot of mystery out of the utililty agreements because the City will know what is going to be built. Mr. Annunziato confirmed Mrs. Huckle's understanding that this was C-3 but pointed out that it is a specific site plan. The use of the property is tied to the site plan. Mrs. Huckle asked if legal complications had arisen from that. Mr. Annunziato said it was suggested by the City Attorney, and the applicant had agreed to it. Mr. Golden advised that the Technical Review Board recommended approval. Mr. Golden said the retail floor space will be on the ground floor, and the office space will be on the second floor. The building will be rectangular shaped, Mediterranean design, of beige stucco with a clay tile parapet and orange barrel tile roof and will range in height from 17 feet to 41 feet. A loading space will be provided at the northeast corner of the building, and a six foot concrete block wall will be provided on the northern perimeter of the property where the canal has been culverted for the parking lot. The wall is required where the C-3 abuts the residential to the north. Lighting on the northern perimeter of the property will be directed inward so as not to shine on a residence to the north. Access to the site will be provided by two driveways (one at Knuth Road at the northwest corner of the property, and one at Boynton Beach Boulevard at the southwest corner of the property). - 19 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Water will be provided by connecting onto an existing 16 inch water main located on the west side of Knuth Road. A sanitary sewer line must be extended westward along Boynton Beach BoUlevard. Mr. Golden said changes in the utility plans were specified in the staff comments, and he read the comments from the Building, Fire, Engineering, Utilities, and Planning Departments and the Forester/Horticulturalist. With regard to the 4th comment in the memo from the Building Department, Mr. Golden said it pertained to the County permitting and inspections. Mr. Kieran J. Kilday, 1551 Forum Place, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, was familiar with all of the comments and met with Members of the City staff and resolved all of the issues. He said they removed all parking immediately in front of the structure with the exception of four handicapped spaces, which they moved there, as recommended by the Board. Mr. Kilday stated that they are now in compliance with all of the comments. Mr. Kilday informed Chairman Ryder that the ditch will be culverted throughout the entire property. The canal is within the property line. The Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) will have an easement back from the property owner for it, and they will .permit the actual culvert. Mr. Annunziato apprised the Board that the LWDD has begun to encourage this kind of activity and gave examples. They require the installation of adequately sized pipes, access for maintenance, and hold harmless. Then they take back an easement for what it would affect. Chairman Ryder commented that they have one on Winchester Road. Mr. Annunziato said the Board will be seeing more and more of them where canals are in close proximity to highways and there is commercial zoning because of the value of the land. Mr. Kilday said the culverts are under Knuth Road and are concrete. Mrs. Huckle asked how soon construction would start on the building, and Mr. Annunziato replied that it will start very soon, following approval of the plan and the incorporation of the staff comments into a site plan that will be submitted to the County along with the City's agreement to serve utilities. He was quite sure the building would be constructed before the City would be in a position to annex. When the City has completed its statutory requirements, it can affect an Annexation Ordinance. Mr. Annunziato further explained to Mrs. Huckle that the planning submitted will meet the City's Codes, but the - 20 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 buildings will be constructed in the County. As far as the construction codes are concerned, they are the same, but in terms of landscaping, fire lanes, dumpster locations, etc., they are Boynton Beach's Code. In all instances, they exceed the County's requirements. Mrs. Huckle asked if the developer was agreeable to going along with the more stringent requirements. Mr. Kilday replied that they are in agreement and think it will be an attractive building, which will look good on Boynton Beach Boulevard. Mr. Annunziato added that the applicant has cooperated and assisted the City in this process as it is a new process. Mr. Pagliarulo moved to approve the site plan, seconded by Mr. Wandelt. Motion carried 7-0. SITE PLAN MODIFICATION Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Boynton Commercenter Fred J. Popper, A.I.A. Boynton Commercenter South of Woolbright Road, between SCL Railroad and LWDD E-4 Canal Request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for the replace- ment of an office building with a 150 room hotel (85,000 sq. ft.) and a change in parking lot layout and design Chairman Ryder recalled that this was approved by the Board sometime back with regard to all four office buildings. Mr. Cannon indicated Corporate Road on the overlay, the three proposed office buildings, and the proposed hotel. Chairman Ryder informed Vice Chairman Trauger that Leisureville was across the road and to the west and said the project is several hundred feet in, south of Woolbright. Mr. Golden said it is the northernmost portion of the Boynton Commercenter Planned Industrial Development (PID) right behind Pylon Interstate Park. Mr. Golden said the request before the Board differed from the original site plan in several ways. The only thing that will remain the same is the square footage of one of the office buildings. The hotel will replace another one of the office buildings. The square footage of one of the remain- ing two office buildings will increase, and it will decrease - 21 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 on the other remaining office building. There is also a change in the parking lot layout and design because of the hotel and other building changes. Mr. Golden said the Technical Review Board recommended approval of the request, subject to staff comments from the Building, Fire, Engineering, Utilities, Police, Public Works, and Planning Departments and also from the Forester/Horti- culturalist. Mrs. Huckle noticed some places it was referred to as a hotel and in other places as a motel. She asked which it was supposed to be. As it will be a four story structure, Mr. Annunziato guessed you would call it a hotel. Mr. deLong questioned the "Maximum Height of Structures on Site" shown as 53 feet on page 4 of the application. As initially approved, Mr. Annunziato said the applicant received an exception for the district height regulations for an elevator penthouse and mechanical equipment for the office buildings. It relates to the office buildings and still holds and is still true. It is a right that runs with the office buildings, as previously approved. The hotel will only be 45 feet. Mr. Annunziato told Vice Chairman Trauger that the hotel will have an elevator too, but the applicant is aware of the 45 feet and their plans reflect 45 feet. Mr. Tony Occhiuzzo, Fred Popper's Associate, 1902 Corporate Drive, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, appeared before the Board to represent both the Architect and the Owner. He read the staff comments and stated that they concurred with the requirements and accepted them as part of their sub- mission. Mr. deLong asked if Mr. Occhiuzzo had any problems with the comments just made about the height limitation on the hotel Mr Occhiuzzo answered, He explained that the hotel · 'NOo" ' will have a peaked roof so the screening situation will not be required, and the distance between four levels is less than the office buildings, due to construction. Mr. Annunziato commented that the interesting thing about the hotel was that it would have no restaurant or lounge. Mr. Occhiuzzo said the reason they were before the Board was because they have a person interested in their site for a hotel and wants it as they were submitting it. That was why they did not proceed with the office construction. Vice Chairman Trauger asked if it was a part of a national chain. - 22- MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mr. Occhiuzzo would not call the party "national- but said the party does have hotels in other areas of the country, but they are not the density of a Hilton. Vice Chairman Trauger questioned whether the hotel would be available to commercial travelers and wondered if it would be available to anyone coming down 1-95. Mr. Occhiuzzo assumed it would be, in addition to some vacation marketing, but added that they are not planning on putting a 70 foot sign like a "Super 8" or anything like that. He did not know how it would be marketed. If they are prepared to go into this particulair enterprise, Mr. Occhiuzzo assumed they would market it to the point where it would be a viable pro- ject. Without a restaurant, it seemed very unusual to Mrs. Huckle. Mr. Occhiuzzo informed the Board Members that Pylon suggested a restaurant may be a viable building. He told Chairman Ryder this site is to the east of the new Pylon building. Chairman Ryder said it is south of the general site and borders on the E-4 Canal. Mr. Occhiuzzo added that the E-4 Canal is contiguous to Leisureville. Chairman Ryder pointed out that certain commitments were made in connection with the Interstate Pylon Building, particularly with shielding it from the canal. He understood promises were made and not completely fulfilled and thought Mr. Occhiuzzo should be prepared to address that when it comes before the City Council. Some people were present at the meeting from Section 10, Leisureville. Mr. Occhiuzzo was not aware that the applicants had not fulfilled their obligations. He said they want to participate and to be in compliance With anything they have been obligated to do, and he thought tihey had done that to this point to the satisfaction of the :conditions that were set forth. Mrs. Huckle asked if the applicant anticipated construction in tandem with the hotel. Mr. Occhiuzzo replied that the hotel will be their construction. They just have a person who is going to be a tenant for that facility. He was not aware of whether he would be a part owner. They will build all of the buildings, but the hotel will be for an applicant they currently have. Vice Chairman Trauger asked if the applicant for the hotel would be the sole owner of it. Mr. Occhiuzzo did not know what Would finally come to pass but knew there were some covenants in the PID which they would not violate. Mrs. Huckle asked if they would do the office buildings first, the hotel first, or what their plan would be. Mr. - 23 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Occhiuzzo answered that they will construct the hotel and one office building first and then eventually build the remainder of the project. The project will probably take 18 months to two years to complete entirely and will be built in a phase fashion in accordance with the requirements of the zoning, certificate of occupancy requirements, etc. Mr. Annunziato called attention to the parking structure. Mr. OCchiuzzo said it is a two story parking structure. He agreed with Chairman Ryder that their property is contiguous to the railroad. Mrs. Huckle asked if the parking structure will be a separ~ate unit or on top of something. Mr. Occhiuzzo replied that it will be between two office build- ings. In answer to a question by Mr. deLong, Mr. Occhiuzzo empha- sized that it would not be a time sharing hotel. As far as he knew, it would be a daily rate hotel or a conventional hotel, not a recreational time sharing hotel. Mrs. Huckle asked if the two level parking structure was always a part of their plan. Mr. Occhiuzzo replied that it was not because it was not required before. Because of the change in the way the property is configured on the site, it made it necessary for one of the levels of parking required to be above ground. That was what necessitated the two story structure. There was discussion about the changes. Vice Chairman Trauger asked if it would result in a change in the land- scaping. Mr. Occhiuzzo answered, "Substantially.,, Mr. Annunziato advised that it was all resubmitted and was reviewed by the Community Appearance Board last night and approved. Mr. Occhiuzzo added that the landscaping was enhanced over the previous plan because of considerations for the nature of the site. Chairman Ryder asked if people in the audience still wished to be heard. Mrs. Ruth Morsch, 1204 S. W. 22nd Avenue, Boynton Beach, was not going to say anything about the hotel until she heard what she just heard. It seemed to her that they did not receive any kind of information as to what the hotel would actually be. They received double talk on it and before the Council meeting on January 21st, she wanted to know more about what the hotel would be. - 24 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mrs. Morsch was here because this developer does not keep his commitments to the surrounding area. A couple of years ago, when he got his permit to build the Boynton Commercenter, the surrounding area was to receive a 40 foot green buffer zone so that they would not be able to see the buildings or parking. What they did get was a berm, which the builder said he would put up. The buffer strip turned out to be one row of trees on top of the berm, and most of them have since died because of neglect. In 1984, Mayor Nick Cassandra was a Councilman, and Mrs. Morsch read from the Boynton Times that he had been out to the site and examined the situation from both sides of the canal. Mayor Cassandra had agreed that they had an ugly sight to look at and said, according to the plans, 75% of all buildings were to be hidden from the view of the people, but there was no 75% coverage. Mrs. Morsch also read that City Manager Cheney explained to the Council that greenery must be planted around the completed buildings before the developer is given a certificate of occupancy. He said it was the City's understanding that the developer would have it done. If the developer has not done it, he would have financial problems because he would either go broke or do it to get a certificate of occupancy. Mrs. Morsch said the developer promised all kinds of things, including 300 trees. If he bought 300 trees, he put them on his own project to enhance the buildings. Mrs. Morsch also had a letter from then Mayor James R. Warnke, which said a 40 foot utility easement and buffer strip was the area where landscaping would continue to exist and some trees would be added. She said that was to be another part of their 4!0 foot buffer strip. Most all of that has not been done. They have one row of trees, and half of them have died. Mrs. Morsch said their homes are being devalued. Homes elsewhere in the same area are selling for $10,000 more than they can now get. She did not think it was fair that the developer was allowed to get away with it and expressed that the developer is very nice and never refuses to do the work, but he never does it. Mrs. Morsch told of an electric company across the canal agreeing to park a large cherry picker in back of the trees. However, they also have a truck, and it is impossible to hide it behind one tree. - 25 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Mrs. Morsch believed the developer was being fined a certain amount of money per day until all of this is done but said even that had no effect. This has been ongoing for awhile, and still nothing is being done about it. She asked that no further development be allowed there until the developer has honored his commitment. The people are not against the development the apPlicant wants to do, but they do not want the developer to be able to go ahead and do that until the commitment to them has been honored. Two neighbors were at the meeting with Mrs. Morsch. Another neighbor calls her on the telephone a couple of times a week asking what they can do about the applicant. Mrs. Morsch hoped something would be done so they would have the screening that was promised to them in the beginning. Vice Chairman Trauger remembered when they started years and years ago on the buffer zone and asked if it had deteriorated from the original concept. Mr. Annunziato replied that the situation has compounded somewhat by the installation of water wells and pumps, but there is still an obligation on the part of the developer to forest the buffer. There was a lot of discussion about this 1-1/2 years ago, and some progress was made. In certain instances about the current landscaping, Mr.. Annunziato thought Mrs. Morsch was correct. He noticed a similar situation of deteriorating landscaping on the east, which he discussed with the devel- oper's representatives. Mr. Annunziato suspected this would come up tonight but thought they were matters for the Codes Enforcement Board. Mr. Annunziato believed the applicant could be made to comply and believed he would comply, but it would require continuous inspections, which the City will have to do. Mr. deLong asked if the City had a history of complaints where the developer had not complied. When there was a desire to C. O. buildings initially, Mr. Annunziato said a string of non-compliances ended up being complied with, and hundreds of trees were planted. There was compliance to the point that the City issued certificates of occupancy. Mr. Annunziato commented that perhaps it needed to be readdressed. It is a problem that is all over the City, and he thought it was an issue that should be addressed administratively. Mr. Wandelt asked if the Board could put a comment that it be complied with before they approve the plan. Mr. - 26 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 Annunziato was not sure the two issues were related. Chairman Ryder said this would alert the Council, and they may decide to take some type of action. Mrs. Huckle thought Mrs. Morsch's point was very well taken and well put. Other Members expressed that they thought so too. Mrs. Huckle also felt that progress should not con- tinue until the site has been brought up-to-date and other discrepancies are taken care of. Mr. Wandelt felt so too. Mrs. Huckle agreed with Mr. Wandelt that comments were appropriate to the approval. Chairman Ryder requested that the applicant come forward again and asked if Pylon was responsible for what Mrs. Morsch was talking about. Mr. Occhiuzzo answered that he did not represent Pylon and said Pylon is a separate entity. Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that the Pylon property is not encumbered with the 40 foot l~ndscape buffer, as the Planned Industrial Development (PID) Ks, and Pylon has done a fairly good job of landscaping their property and maintaining it along the canal bank. Chairman Ryder ascertained that they were talking about everything on the canal south of the Pylon property. Mr. Occhiuzzo told the Board and concerned residents that the appliCant plans to have additional vegetation on the 40 foot bUffer strip on their property. What has delayed that is that they are currently engaged in an activity with the Lake Worth Drainage District where they have to take away all of the vegetation within their right-of-way as part of an agreement they have with the LWDD. That work has to be performed and completed first. Mr. Occhiuzzo said they have to level off the bank to a "21 slope". With that remaining property transitioning into their property, the applicant can then continue and complete the landscaping buffer. They planted a lot of trees that have died, and Mr. Occhiuzzo said some of the trees that were to get more foliage did not as yet because they have not blossomed to the point the applicant wished them to grow. He expressed that they want to participate with Leisureville and want to continue that effort until there is a mutual compromise. The City staff pointed out the area adjacent to the railroad to them, and Mr. Occhiuzzo stated that they also intend to do something about that. Mr. Occhiuzzo referred to the question about them being fined and informed everyone that the applicant has one - 27 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 situation from Codes Enforcement that has not been corrected as they had said it would be timewise. That was the removal of the construction trailer from their property. Mr. Occhiuzzo said they are waiting for their Boynton Lakes project to be platted so they can move the trailer there. Unfortunately, the owner has decided to accept the fine pro- vision rather than to move the trailer into some temporary location. Chairman Ryder suggested the Board move on this with the proviso that the applicant present before the City Council a detailed plan showing just what they will be doing along the E-4 Canal. Mr. deLong injected that the plan should show a time element by which these things should be done. Chairman Ryder agreed and added that it should be specifically locked in, as he did not think the applicant wanted to see trouble later on where the Codes Enforcement Board would have to be brought into the picture. He told Mr. Occhiuzzo to keep in mind that they would still be coming before this Board and the City Council on further developments. Mr. deLong moved that the application be accepted with the express proviso that a time schedule and plan in detail rectifying some of the landscaped items and other items, if any, be submitted to the City Council as part of the approval of the amended site plan, subject to staff comments. Mrs. Huckle seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. 4. Project Name: Mahogany Bay Agent: Kevin Henderson - Metro Development Corporation Owner: Mahogany Bay Limited Location: Congress Avenue at N. W. 22nd Avenue, northwest corner Description: Request for approval of an amended site plan to allow for replacement of dumpsters with a trash compactor and approval of entrance signage Mr. Cannon showed on the overlay where the compactor would be located, and Mr. Golden said it would replace the indivi- dual dumpster pads shown on the original plan. Since the City recently entered the trash compactor business, the developer felt this would be a more efficient and aestheti- cally pleasing alternative. Mr. Golden said Mahogany Bay is the northernmost portion of Congress Lakes Planned Unit Development. The proposed - 28- MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 14, 1986 entrance signage would be located in the vicinity of the main entrance on N. W. 22nd Avenue. The Technical Review Board recommended that the request be approved, subject to two comments from the Planning Depart- ment, which Mr. Golden read. With reference to the second comment, Mr. Annunziato advised that a 14 foot opening would be acceptable. He was not aware of the standard. Mr. deLong questioned the density. Mr. Annunziato believed the overall density of the PUD was just under or at eleven units per acre. It was annexed with the density assi~'ned to it by the County and was a long, detailed, agreement oriented annexation. Both Mr. deLong and Vice Chairm. n Trauger commented about the heavy density. Mr. Pagliarulo moved to approve the amended site plan subject to staff comments. Mrs. Huckle seconded the otion, and the motion carried 7-0. COMMENTS BY MEMBERS Market Surveys for Projects Mrs. Huckle told the Members that an article in the Ja 7th issue of the Sun Sentinel reported that the Assist County Attorney instructed Commissioners that, based o recent Circuit Court ruling, they should not use marke as a reason for rejecting commercial rezoning. Vice Chairman Trauger still thought they had to look a: it. If they keep letting these things go, they will deteri,)rate the town's center and can create a slum. Mr. Annunzia-:o pointed out that it would be a zoning issue and not a development issue. If the City determines that they h~Lve too much C-3 zoned property, a policy decision should ~e made to eliminate some of it. Mr. Annunziato did not think he ever saw a market surv ~y that recommended against a project and thought they di~. more for the bankers than anybody else. There was discussi¢,n.

Mr. Annunziato informed him that Woolbright Place Planned Unit Development was submitted today in basically the same location as the previous PUD, absent any request for Land Use Element or zoning changes. Two out parcels south of it were created. Mr. Annunziato told Chairman Ryder they are zoned commercially and single family now, and it will be coming up for public hearings in March. It will leave all of the properties from 13th Avenue south- ward in the current zoning categories. Chairman Ryder. added that it will not be R1AA but will be multi-family condos. Vice Chairman Trauger was trying to keep it in single family housing. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board, Mrs. Huckle moved, seconded by Mr. deLong, to adjourn.

It is con- templated that all'lands between Lawrence Road and Congres~ Avenue on the south side of Hypolux.o Road will at some time in the future ~be annexed. This proposal represents a continuation of orevious actions to close unincorporated pockets in this portion ~f the reserve annexation area. - The land use cateaor~ requested~ ~ . , Moderate DensitY~Residential, and rezoning tOPUD are conszstent with the future olans for land use in Palm Beach County for this area as indicated-'in the correspon- dence in Exhibit "C". However, this request, as submitted, may not be appropriate for the property in question owing to the rural character and existing pattern of land uses in the surrounding area. To the north~are single familY homes on large unplatted lots which fall under the~'Low Density Residential-land use gategory in Palm Beack County. Abutting the property to the east ms a mature Page Three. orange grove (Knollwood Groves) which has been granted a~ land use category of "Agriculture" in the City of Boynton Beach. Abutting the property to the south are a nursery and a single family home ' on large unplatted lots which fall under the Low Density Residential Land Use Category in Palm Beach County. FUrther to the south is a continuation of the orange grove owned by KnotlWood Groves with a land use category of "Agriculture" in the City of Boynton Beach. To the West, across Lawrence Road in Palm Beach County, is pro- perty owned by Dahlgren's Nursery which is currently in agricultural use. ~ll.lands west of Lawrence Road and south of Hypoluxo Road in Palm Beach County have been designated "Low to Medium Residential" which permits a maximum of five dwelling units per acre under, the PUD zoning category. In regard to the land use category requested, Moderate Density Residential, it .should be noted that residential developments further to the east and southeast in the City of B6ynton Beach, including the Lakes of Hypoluxo PUD, and the Meadows 300 PUD, have been granted a land use category of Low Density Residential. ~The Low Density Residential land use category permits a maximum of 4.82 dwelling units per acre. In regard to the proposed density for the Honeybell Hollow PUD (4.9 dwelling units per acre), there are currently two residential developments in Palm Beach County to the soUth of the proper~y in .question which exceed the 4.9 dwelling units per acre proposed for the Honeybell Hollow PUD. Prides Crossing, located on the west side of Lawrence Road, approximately 2000 feet south of the subject p~operty, is a mixed use residential development with a Gross density of 4.97 dwelling'.units per acre. Whispering Bin~s Mobile Home Park, loc~ed on the east side of Lawrence Road, approximately 2.,500 feet south of the subject property, has a gross density of 6 7 dwelling units per acre. .Currently, there exist approximately 750 mature citrus trees on 'the site, primarily orange trees with some grapefruit trees on the 9.3814 acre par.c~l.. It is recommended that the existing trees in the grove be preserved to the great~st extent possible and incor- porated as an amenity to the proposed project as outlined ~n the memorandum from the Forester/Hortioulturi~t whichappears in Exhibit C. · Based on the preceding findings and analysis, it is the Plann~n~ .

Policies, each of the three policies, will be addressed individually. Policy 1 - "Annex only' property which is reasonably contiguous to the present municipal boundaries.,, The Middle States Coal Company property is contiguous:to current municipal limits along its entire eastern property line (334 feet or 11%) of the ~otal property boundary. In addition this ~roDerty lies in the.path of urban development.

Kelsey, for Middle States Coal Company, Inc. property- owner, be approved subject to the comments listed in this memo- randum, as well as those which accompany this memorandum as Exhibit "C". This recommendation is based in part on the following: 1. The parcel is contiguous to the corporate limits; 2. The parcel lies within a county.pocket and it is in the path of urban development; 3. The parcel is located within the City's municipal service The request is consistent with'Comprehensive Plan 'Doticies for annexation; _ The request will not impair the value or future use of lands in the surrounding area; and The costs to serve versus the benefits received by the City indiCate a positiVe return. /lat --- ' - .cc: City Manager Technical Review Board Central File CA_R~-~N M-EMORANDUM 17 December 1985 TO: FROM: Chairman and Members Planning and Zoning Board Carmen S.

Annun~to · MEM.ORANDUM Planning Director ~':,.. "^'~ 2 .Januar~ '86 Kevin Hallahan Forester/Horticult NJJ~(~ ~. J. This memorandum is in reference to the condition of the trees on the property of the above-mentioned project. The mature orange and grapefruit trees once comprised part of an active orchard. The trees were cultivated over the years to produce large quantities of fruit. Presently, the trees are still bearing heavily, some more than others. The tas~ of the fruit on most of the trees sampled is very palpable, even sweet. The only apparent abnormality on the trees is the presence of sooty mold which can be e~sily con- trolled with an application of copper fungicide. The soot~ mold is common on citrus trees, especially when humid condi- tions prevail, but it does not affect the quality or edibil- ity Of the fruit. ' I would recommend that the developer make an effort to pre- serve as many of the trees as possible, given the design of the houSing development. Those trees located in non-buildable areas could be preserved and become an attractive feature to the pro.- ject. The trees would only have to be pruned up from the base an~_d sprayed for sooty mold. The preserved trees would enhance the development and keep the project in character with the sur- rounding commun.i ty. 1 will coordinate the tree preservation activity with the developer in compliance with our City Tree Preservation Ordinance #81~21.
