ANNOUNCEMENTS Special Meeting on February 14, 1985 Mr. Annunziato reminded the Board Members that a special meeting is scheduled, which will be a public hearing to ~ review the rezoning of the central business district. At that time, the Board will have the consistency review on the Community Redevelopment documents which were previosly transmitted. Mr. Annunziato said it would be advertised soon. Comments by Members The Board accepted Mr. Gregory's suggestion that "Comments by Members" be added at the end of the meetings on all future agendas. MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 OLD BUSINESS Lake Boynton Estates, Plat 5, Subdivision Pre-Application chairman Ryder referred the Members to a letter dated December 27, 1984 from Enrico Rossi, P.E., Rossi and Malavasi Engineers, Inc., West Palm Beach, requesting that consideration of this project be deferred to the February meeting. Mr. Gregory moved, seconded by Mr. Pagliarulo, that this be deferred until the February 12 meeting. Motion carried 7-0. NEW BUSINESS A. PUBLIC HEARING REDEVELOPMENT AREA MORATORIUM VARIANCE REQUEST Project Name: Gustafson Commercial Building Agent: George Davis, Architect Owner: Thomas Gustafson Location: 800 N. E. 3rd Street Description: Request for a variance to ordinance No. 83-40 as extended, and site plan review and approval to construct a commercial/industrial building to house roofing and painting supplies Chairman Ryder said the Members were furnished with a memo from the Planning Director, dated January 2, 1985, and one dated January 3, 1985 from Peter L. Cheney, City Manager. Mr. Annunziato handed out a letter requesting the variance, from George C. Davis, Architect, dated November 28, 1984; a memo from Tom Clark, City Engineer, dated December 28, 1984; and a letter from Thomas F. Gustafson, President, Tom Gustafson Industries, Inc., dated January 7, 1985, in response to city Manager Cheney's comments. Mr. Annunziato informed the Members that this is located at 800 N. E. 3rd Street, on the east side. The building pro- posed is a rectangular shaped building parallel to N. E. 3rd Street, north of the existing building which is at the inter- section of 7th Avenue and 3rd Street. A house and garage are on the site, and these two buildings will be demolished. Mr. Annunziato added that the applicant is proposing to re- construct 38 parking spaces plus a curb cut onto 3rd Street. As required by the Moratorium variance Ordinance, the City Manager is responsible for providing a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Board. The ordinance also requires that MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 19 85 the City's technical staff provide a recommendation to the City Manager. This was also reviewed by the Community Redevelopment Agency and recommended for approval unanimously, subject to staff comments. Because the staff comments were not listed at that time, Mr. Annunziato said they were presumed to be subject to staff comments as promulgated by the staff and City Manager. Thee thrust of the Technical Review Board's recommendations to the City Manager were listed on pages 2 and 3 of City Manager Cheney's memorandum, which Mr. Annunziato read. Because much of this information was not available at the time of staff review, Mr. Annunziato recommended that follow- ing the public hearing, the Board table this matter and refer it back to staff, based on the information provided to staff today (January 8, 1985) concerning the number of vehicles stored on site, the number of employees, refuse disposal, and the like. George C. Davis, Architect, 1100 South Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, did not have a copy of the City Manager's letter. He stated that the applicant's position was that the site plan is designed in compliance with the City's Ordinance. It appeared to Mr. Davis that the letter from Mr. Gustafson indicated the applicant is trying to comply with the staff's comments. chairman Ryder informed Mr. Davis that this is on the fringe of the downtown area, which more or less puts it in a sensi- tive position. Apparently, the Technical Review Board (TRB) recognized that and is asking for this review environmentally. As far as Code is concerned, Mr. Annunziato stated there is no question that the applicant meets the city's parking requirements. He referred to his memo and, based on staff discussion to the City Manager, the City's Code did not adequately foresee this kind of industry, which is highly labor intensive. Mr. Annunziato mentioned the Police Hepa~tment's analysis and Mr. Cannon's analysis. Obviously, as far as this type of industry is concerned, the city's parkiing regulations are not adequate. Therefore, they asked for the additional information, which was provided this afternoon from Mr. Gustafson. The staff did not have an oppOrtunity to review these documents. Mr. Annunziato continued by saying several of the items have been answered, but he was not in a position to answer for the Fire Marshall or City Engineer, based on the docu- ments submitted this afternoon. He confirmed for Chairman - 3 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 Ryder that City Manager Cheney recommended that the TRB should go over this before it comes back again to the Planning and Zoning Board. Mr. Hester and Mr. Linkous questioned whether the applicant knew about this before tonight. Mr. Davis informed Mr. Linkous that he received a copy of the TRB comments from Mr. Annunziato and the notice to be here tonight on Tuesday. He said Mr. Annunziato may have given him two copies of Mr. Cheney's letter, but he turned them over to Bert Keehr, Deputy Building official. Mr. Davis told the Members Mr. Gustafson would abide by whatever the Board decided. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone else wished to speak on behalf of the application. There was no response. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the request. There was no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Mr. Gregory moved, seconded by Mr. Pagliarulo, to table the request until the next regular meeting on February 12. Motion carried 7-0. SUBDIVISIONS Pre-Applications Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Walker's Glen None victor Racko, Vice President Excalibur Development Corp. N. E. 4th Avenue, north side, between Seacrest Boulevard and N. E. 1st Street Description: Request for an exemption to the platting requirements to provide for a four (4) lot duplex development Mr. Annunziato said this is the kind of request the Board has not received before. It is a request for an exemption to the subdivision regulations. The applicant proposes to be permitted to divide a tract of land into four parcels to create four duplex lots. Mr. Annunziato informed Chairman Ryder that the property is 115 feet from the center line of N. E. 1st Street. The four parcels run north and south from N. E. 4th Avenue to a platted alley, 15 feet in width, along the north side of these lots. Mr. Annunziato read the reasons the owner requested an exemption from a communication dated December 6, 1984 from victor Racko, vice President, Excalibur Development Corp., 1600 North Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435. 4 MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 The city Engineer recommended that an exemption not be granted to the subdivision regulations. Some of the discussion at the meeting of the Technical Review Board (TRB) was: 1. There is additional developable property to the west of this property, particularly along the 15 foot alley. 2. The issue of utilities in the area is one which has to be further analyzed. Public utilities (Florida Power & Light) which cross Lot 2 and portions of Lot 4 have not been properly addressed. Mr. Annunziato read the comments from Tom Clark, city Engineer, and the Recreation and Parks Department. Mr. Annunziato said it was the TRB's recommendation that the exemption from subdivision regulations not be granted and the applicant be required to plat the property consistent with the subdivision regulations and, further, that Mr. Clark's memo be adhered to concerning improving N. E. 1st Street and clarifying the issue of roadway easements. Mr. victor Racko came forward. Chairman Ryder asked what his reluctance was to proceeding with the platting operation. Mr. Racko replied that there was no reluctance, just simplic- ity. He did not plan to obviate any of the laws regarding planning. Mr. Racko agreed with chairman Ryder that he was seeking an exemption and added that it was only on the basis of it being one unit more than the Statute provides for. Mr. Racko said they have a private road coming in, and the road is deeded to the four people or whatever way the City wants to handle it. He said he would acquiesce to whatever is necessary. As far as the power lines are concerned, Mr. Racko was sure Florida Power & Light Co. could handle that. Mr. Racko felt the Statute was primarily designed for dele- terious overusage of property. He emphasized that they were talking about four duplexes, not 100, but one more than is required and i~ under the law. Everything they intend to do was before the Members, and it was four lots with four duplex buildings. Mr. Racko asked what was required and reiterated that they have four buildings and one more than required by Statute. He said if the Board felt it was necessary that they do it, there would be no problem. Mr. Racko thought it was such a small deal, they would not have any problems. He did not come to "try and beat Boynton", but came to present his case, and felt it was not necessary to waste a lot of valuable time. 5 MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 Mr. Linkous asked Mr. Racko if there was a great deal more expense involved in subdividing. Mr. Racko answered, "None." He added that he put the road in and has to get all of the required Code work redone for all of the necessary people (Police, Fire, and Sewage). The Sewage people told them what to do, and Mr. Racko said they submitted their plans accordingly and tried not to do away with any of the local Ordinances. He stated he would build this brand new and up to Code. The whole thing is about there being one more building than the Code allows, and Mr. Racko asked, "What's the big deal?" Mr. Hester thought the Members should abide by the rules. He did not think the city wanted any more congestion, and the rule said Mr. Racko should subdivide. Mr. Racko dis- agreed, saying it was a matter of discretion. Chairman Ryder noted the recommendations were that it be platted. Mr. Annunziato clarified that the thrust of Mr. Clark's comments were if the Board found the arrangement proper, it should be private. Mr. Pagliarulo asked if it was platted as one large piece of land or if it was in individual lots. He was under the impression that if it is a platted subdivision now and the lots can be joined together, it would not fall under the subdivision ordinance. Assuming they were 50 foot lots and Mr. Racko is joining them altogether, Mr. Pagliarulo knew of nothing which would prohibit Mr. Racko from building that many duplexes if he has that much land. Mr. Annunziato advised that Mr. Racko has to create lot lines. Mr. Annunziato said Mr. Pagliarulo's point of view was if there were four lots, all being served by the street, property could be redefined with it. In this instance, not all of the lots have access or are served by the street and utilities. In fact, Mr. Annunziato pointed out that Mr. Racko is creating lots in back of where there are lots served from the street. Mr. Racko has to create street frontage, which is another criteria to plat it. Mr. Annunziato informed the Members that there is also property to the west which has to be addressed in terms of potential utility extensions and vacant property which could face a similar kind of action. The utilities and service of these lots must be addressed. If they were not in lots, Mr. Linkous understood they would be described in metes and bounds. Mr. Annunziato said a portion of Lot 3 is the 50 foot parcel formed by the west MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 lot line of Lot 2 and the west lot line of Lot 4, which is a portion of an old Block 3, so it is a replat of part of a lot in Shepard Addition where two lots are recombined to provide four, and the creation of streets and utility exten- sions are provided for. Mr. Annunziato emphasized that there are criteria, and Mr. Racko needs to create lot front- age in order to create lots of record for building purposes. He said Mr. Racko needs to create lot frontage by the exten- sion of a private street, which is one of the criteria for a subdivision. chairman Ryder thought the Board should recommend that it be platted. Mr. Annunziato also thought the Board should accept it as a pre-application to save the applicant from coming back. Mr. Schultz moved to accept Walker's Glen as a pre-applica- tion, subject to staff comments, and that it be replatted, seconded by Mr. Linkous. Motion carried 7-0. Project Name: Sybar Subdivision Agent: Enrico Rossi, P.E. Owner: Sybar, a Development Corporation Location: Congress Avenue at N. W. 22nd Avenue, north- east corner Description: Request for approval of a subdivision pre- application for an eighteen (18) ! acre tract of commercial land Mr. Annunziato said the property is located north of Motorola. The land was zoned C-3 some six years ago and is moving into a development mode. About 2/3 north of 22nd Avenue, the property is transversed in an east/west manner by a proposed public 80 foot collector right-of-way. Four lanes are divided with turn lanes. This road will serve the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce. As part of the construc- tion, there currently exists on Congress a median cut with turn lanes at this location. Mr. Annunziato said this also aligns across Congress Avenue with a driveway which, at some time in the future, will be constructed to serve the remainder of the Metro Development Corporation property. The applicant is proposing that a driveway be permitted to be constructed from 22nd Avenue, which will align to the driveway that serves Motorola to all of the four corner intersections except the right in, right out, which serve the property on Congress Avenue approxi- mately 300 or 400 feet north of 22nd Avenue. In terms of site design, Mr. Annunziato said they were talk- ing about a boundary plat at this time. Additional utility MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 easements will have to be dedicated to the public at the time the commercial property is further developed. The lo- cation of fire hydrants, etc. will be finalized. The back- bone utilities to serve the property will be constructed as part of this subdivision. On the south side of the east/west road which tranverses the property, at the lake, is the lift station which was planned to serve all of the property between Congress and the E-4 Canal from Canal 21 south to 22nd Avenue. One requirement of the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce was that a water main be connected on this road to the 16 inch water main on the west side of Congress. The applicant was showing in his plans that there will be a jack and bore operation with a water main transversing through the 80 foot right-of-way, terminating at the limit, to be extended eastward in the future. Also to be constructed is a 16 inch water main on 22nd Avenue along the south property line and an 8 inch water main tying those two east/west water mains together to form a loop on site. Mr. Annunziato said drainage will be provided in a storm water retention (Water Management facility), which will be located on the tract of land east of the proposed east sub- division line. The application came to the Planning and Zoning Board from the Technical Review Board with a positive recommendation, subject to staff comments from the Engineering and utility Departments, which Mr. Annunziato read. Mr. Annunziato read ~3 from the memo of Tom Clark, city Engineer, "Why does the property not include the lake?" He thought documentation showed that it does. As to ~4 of Mr. Clark's memo, Mr. Annunziato said it will be platted with no information on interior improvements. Enrico Rossi, P.E., Rossi and Malavasi Engineers, Inc., Forum III - suite 407, 1675 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401-2179, affirmed Chairman Ryder's statement that his (Mr. Rossi's) letter of December 7, 1984 was an idea of what might follow. Mr. Rossi added that the client has not tied down any particular uses on the land but he wants to get moving on putting the road in and all of the necessary water and sewage type systems. Chairman Ryder asked how far north the new north entrance road is from 22nd Avenue. Mr. Rossi guessed it was about 8 MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 800 feet. Chairman Ryder asked if the north entrance road would be private, dedicated, or what. Mr. Rossi replied it will probably be dedicated. He said they discussed it this way in order for it to give the access they need for the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce. Mr. Rossi informed chairman Ryder that this is contiguous with the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce and will extend into the Park of Commerce's development in the future. All of the master plans have been approved for the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce. Mr. Rossi was in full agreement with the comments. Mr. Linkous moved to approve the request, subject to staff comments. Mr. Hester seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Preliminary Plats Project Name: Boynton Lakes Plaza Agent: Fred Popper, Architect Owner: Gedi Properties Location: Congress Avenue at Hypoluxo Road Description: Construction plans and preliminary plat to provide for the construction of infrastruc- ture improvements to serve a previously approved commercial tract Mr. Annunziato handed out a letter from Charles R. Walker, Jr., P.E., Director, Traffic Division, Palm Beach County Department of Engineering, dated January 8, 1985, to the Members. Mr. Annunziato said two tracts are proposed to be created. One tract (northwest corner) will be retained by Lennar Homes Corporation. The property is served on the east by Boynton Lakes Boulevard and on the south by Plaza Lane, which will be platted as a part of this development. This property was zoned C-3 in about 1978, and the configuration of streets which serves the property was determined at that time. The construction of Congress Avenue and Hypoluxo Road was done to reflect Plaza Lane and Boynton Lakes Boulevard. Mr. Annunziato said the applicant will be "culverting" Canal 18, will be receiving an easement, and will be incor- porating that property into the development of this commer- cial subdivision. That property will be used for parking. Mr. Cannon showed the site plan overlay so Chairman Ryder could see where the points of access are. Mr. Annunziato said there are four points of access of right in, right out. MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 They are on Hypoluxo Road, Congress Avenue, Plaza Lane, and Boynton Lakes Boulevard. Median cuts that will serve the property are at Plaza Lane and Congress Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard and Hypoluxo Road. To access the subdivision, you have to turn into those public rights-of-way and enter through one of the proposed driveways. Mr. Annunziato said Mr. Cannon would be addressing the site plan further on in the agenda. He wished to continue with the preliminary plat at this time and read the staff comments from the Engineering, Utility, and Planning Departments. With reference to a traffic impact analysis referred to in 97 of the City Engineer's memo, dated December 31, Mr. Annunziato said this would be addressed by the applicant. Further documents were submitted, and Mr. Annunziato said the technicality had been overcome. Mr. Annunziato added to this the comments in the letter dated January 8, 1985, from Charles R. Walker, Jr., P.E., Director, Traffic Division, Palm Beach County Department of Engineering. The letter was hand delivered to Mr. Annunziato this afternoon, and the applicant was just now aware of it. Mr. Annunziato added that he thought the appli- cant was probably aware of some of the comments, and he read the letter to the Members. With regard to comment 91 of Mr. Walker's letter, Mr. Annunziato said that was the configuration of median cuts constructed and proposed. There will not be median cuts on Hypoluxo or Congress to serve this property. They will only be at the intersections of the streets. Mr. Annunziato said 93 was probably the most important. The four-laning of the intersection of Hypoluxo Road and Congress Avenue is carried through to the east side of the intersec- tion. Then there is a taper and it goes into the two lanes of Hypoluxo Road. The median which the Members saw was not the final configuration of median. There is one designed to accommodate future development. Mr. Annunziato concurred with Mr. Walker's recommendation that the four laning or configuration of Hypoluxo be extended eastward through the intersection of Boynton Lakes Boulevard. In other words, it would move the transition to the east side of Boynton Lakes Boulevard, construct the median at Hypoluxo Road, the storage lanes on Hypoluxo Road to Boynton Lakes Boulevard, and, therefore, formalize the Boynton Lakes Boulevard inter- section. As proposed, the applicant was suggesting he just extend the median several feet to make it more difficult to make an MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 illegal "U" turn or to short circuit left turn lanes on the east approach, which Mr. Annunziato said staff thought would be unsafe. Mr. Annunziato recommended that the preliminary plat be approved subject to staff comments and Mr. Walker's letter. Mr. Fred Jay Popper, Architect, 2100 Corporate Drive, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, was aware of the staff comments and agreed to them. Mr. Linkous moved to approve the preliminary plat subject to staff comments and the comments in the letter from Charles R. Walker, Jr., P.E., Director, Traffic Division, office of the Palm Beach County Engineer, dated January 8, 1985. Mr. Pagliarulo seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Project Name: Mahogany Bay at Catalina Club Agent: Metro Development Corporation Owner: Riteco Development Corporation Location: Congress Avenue at N. W. 22nd Avenue, north- west corner Description: Construction plans and preliminary plat to provide for the construction of infrastructure improvements to serve 328 units at the previously approved Catalina Club Planned Unit Development Mr. Annunziato said this is the preliminary plat of that portion of the Catalina Club located north of N. W. 22nd Avenue and west of Congress Avenue. Not included in the plat is the northeastern 1/3rd of that property that will be subject to future development. The Planning and Zoning Board acted on this application in the past in the form of master plan amendments. One concerned the creation of this develop- ment and configuration. The second related to the number of parking spaces required. Access to the site is from N. W. 22nd Avenue. There are four parking lots, a water main which transverses the property north/south, and a lift station is to be constructed east of the north/south access road. Utilities are available and will be tapped on both 22nd Avenue and Congress. Past planning is coming to a point where construction is going to occur. This came to the Board with a positive recommendation from the Technical Review Board, subject to staff comments from the Fire, Engineering, Utility, and Recreation and Parks Departments which Mr. Annunziato read. MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 Mr. Annunziato referred to ~3 from the Memorandum from Bill Flushing, Deputy Engineer. There is a part bridge, part culvert which crosses the two lakes. Mr. Cannon pointed out the boundaries of the lake to the north and the one on the south. Mr. Annunziato said the applicant is spending a considerable number of dollars to make a culvert look like a bridge with railings, etc. Mr. Flushing's comment was that the bridge railing detail should refer to an existing DOT detail or the complete detail should be provided. Mr. Kevin Henderson, Metro Development Corporation of Boca Raton, 21301 Powerline Road, Suite 301, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, stated they were substantially in agreement with the staff comments in the review of their preliminary plat and construction drawings. However, there were a couple of technical items that Mr. Ric Rossi, Engineer, would address. Enrico Rossi, Professional Engineer, Rossi and Malavasi Engineers, Inc., Forum III-Suite 407, 1675 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401-2179, said there were two items among the staff comments which he wanted to address: 1. The Fire Department's comments dealing with the 200 foot distance. According to the Code, Mr. Rossi said it applies to the outermost part of the building. He said they took it to be a measurement radially from the hydrant out to the furthermost point of any building. Mr. Rossi met with Mr. William Cavanaugh of the Fire Depart- ment to try to clarify this point (the difference being between hose length distance around the building as opposed to a radial distance), and Mr. Cavanaugh suggested that Mr. Rossi write a letter to help clarify this point. Mr. Rossi wrote a letter to the Fire Chief last week and hoped to get a response or to meet with him because he did not feel the intent was clear, according to the Code. He simply was informing the Board that they will be meeting to discuss it between now and the next Council Meeting. 2. The other item was the request by Perry Cessna, Director of Utilities, to escrow funds for half the cost of the Canal crossing for their ten inch water main. They did not have a chance to sit down with the Director of Utilities because the item came up at the last moment. Mr. Rossi said the water main they put in was a ten inch, where- as, the original master plan submitted to the City showed an eight inch line. They "pretty much" followed what the - 12 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 Director of Utilities wanted them to do. The original plan also called for looping that line along the south part of the canal back to Congress. Mr. Cessna felt it would be better if the applicant provided for a loop to continue into the next subdivision, which would take place north of the canal, giving more strength to the system by having larger lines with larger loops. Mr. Rossi wanted to approach the City or Mr. Cessna to see if some of this could be credited as the developer's half towards construction, which this developer will be required to pay in the expansion for the lines which were constructed along Congress. He informed Chairman Ryder they were looking at a cost of about $10,000. Mr. Rossi added that it is being done to strengthen the major loop and serve more than one subdivision. He knew it was a staff comment and said they would be addressing that between now and the next City Council Meeting. Chairman Ryder asked if the culvert was a cast in place culvert or a pipe culvert. Mr. Rossi replied that it is a pipe culvert and is more for aesthetics. They Will use some kind of textured finish on the surface and have a railing on both sides. Sidewalks have been put up on both sides. Mr. Rossi said they will simply show railings and two five foot sidewalks. The question Mr. Flushing raised was about the safety on one particular side. Mr. Linkous noted Mr. Cessna's Memorandum said, "A set of plans has been corrected a second time." Mr. Rossi explained that there were some general comments in the first set of plans that came back. Chairman Ryder thought it was incumbent upon the Board to go with the recommendations made by the Planning Director. With regard to sharing the costs, he thought it was something ~the Board should leave to the City Council. Mr. Annunziato advised that the applicant should continue to meet with Mr. Cessna. These kinds of cost sharing and credits are not unusual and are usually worked out, based on some formula, but it is generally done with Mr. Cessna, the city Manager, and the City Council. Mr. Hester moved to approve the preliminary plat, subject to staff comments. Mr. Schultz seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 SITE PLANS 1. Description: Boynton Lakes Plaza Agent: Fred Popper, Architect Owner: Gedi Properties Location: Congress Avenue at Hypoluxo Road, southeast corner Description: Request for site plan approval to construct a shopping center consisting of 71,625 square feet of retail area, an 1800 seat theatre and a 24,000 square foot office building Mr. Cannon showed the plans and indicated the shopping center, which is a typical "L" shape. In the southwest corner will be a two story office building. There is a request to have shared parking on this site, based on the different peak hours, for the parking demands of the theatre, retail, and the office building. The applicant had submitted a parking analysis. Normally, Mr. Cannon said the City's parking requirements would require 960 spaces on this site. The developer did an analysis, based on data developed by the Urban Land Institute. According to their studies, the parking for the retail on a Saturday night would be about 60% of the maximum for the retail; the theatre would be about 100%, and the office would be virtually 0%, which comes up to the maximum demand on the site of 719 spaces on a Saturday night. The applicant was showing 712 on the site, which was consistent with the parking analysis done by the Urban Land Institute. There will be four driveways on the site (Boynton Lakes Boulevard, Plaza Lane, Congress Avenue, and Hypoluxo Road). None of the driveways are predominant driveways, so 100 foot stacking lanes are not required in this instance. It will be 90 degree parking without the curb stops with the applicant providing landscaped areas down the center in lieu of the curb stops. Loading will be provided at the rear of the building. The City is also requiring a six foot concrete wall along the east and south property lines to screen the loading areas in the back of the stores from the residences which will be to the south and east in the Boynton Lakes Planned unit Development. The parking will be located on the Lake Worth Drainage District L-18 Canal. The drainage ditch will be "culverted." Mr. Cannon read the staff comments from the Building, Engineering, Utility, and Planning Departments. Mr. Fred Jay Popper, Architect, 2100 Corporate Drive, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, stated that they were aware MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 of the staff comments and asked for site plan approval, subject to the staff comments. Chairman Ryder asked Mr. Popper if they found a problem as to space, etc. when they compared it with angle parking. Mr. Popper answered that they prefer 90 degree parking so did not analyze that. Mr. Gregory asked how much consideration was given to the shared parking concept. Mr. Annunziato replied that the data they found to be acceptabe was that which was published by the Urban Land Institute. They believe the benefit to the public will be a more intensive use of commercial property without hindering the ability to serve the public purposes. He reiterated the percentage figures given by Mr. Cannon. Rather than having several vacant parking spaces, Mr. Annunziato said the intent is not to have more pavement than needed to serve a facility. Mr. Annunziato assured Mr. Gregory that the shared parking is based only on the configuration and square footage of the buildings that the Members saw. Mr. Linkous moved to approve the preliminary plat, subject to staff comments, and recommended approval of the shared parking request. Mr. Schultz seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location' Description: Mahogany Bay at Catalina Club Metro Development Corporation Riteco Development Corporation Congress Avenue at N. W. 22nd Avenue, northwest corner Request for site plan approval to construct 328 units previously approved as a part of the Catalina Club Planned unit Development Mr. Cannon showed the site plan and said there will be a gate house at the entrance and two main driveways coming off of the entrance road. A large lake separates this site from an outer parcel. There will be 328 two and three story apartment buildings which range in floor area from 855 square feet to 1,022 square feet. They are planning to have 180 one bedroom apartments and 148 two bedroom apartments. Mr. Cannon read the staff comment from the Recreation and Parks Department.

Mr. Cannon clarified that the Recreation Director is concerned about recreation because some of the recreation facilities that were supposed to be provided for this parcel will not be on this site. Some of them will be located as a part of another 196 units. Mr. Cannon read the comments from the Building, Engineering, and Public Works Departments. With reference to the comment from the Recreation and Parks Department, Mr. Cannon said it was something the applicant will have to clarify with the Recreation and Parks Director. Mr. John Glyman, Metro Development Corporation of Boca Raton, 21301 Powerline Road, Suite 301, Boca Raton, Florida 33433, had no problem with the comments from the Building or Engineering Departments. With reference to comment ~1 in the Memorandum from Tom Clark, City Engineer, Mr. Glyman believed the site plans were cross referenced to the plat development plans but said the applicant would let the Engineering Department know in plans to that effect. Mr. Glyman said they will meet with the Public Works Depart- ment and see that all of their dumpster locations are adequate for the needs and purposes of the Department of Public Works. In terms of the five recreational amenities, at the time they came in for the master plan amendment, Mr. Glyman said they provided a list and certain minimal square footage or acreages for each of those uses in terms of meeting the requirements of the subdivision regulation. When the initial Planned Unit Development (PUD) was prepared and agreed to, the issue of 1/2 credit as opposed to no credit or full credit was fully taken care of at that point. Mr. Glyman said the reason for providing recreational amenities on this specific property was to comply with the subdivision regula- tions for recreational utilization. Mr. Annunziato agreed that was correct. Mr. Glyman told the Members the five amenities they antici- pate providing are the swimming pool, tennis courts, jogging path, picnic area, and some quiet paths in park type areas which will be set up with benches. Mr. Glyman informed Chairman Ryder that this is entirely a rental development. He believed their range was from around 860 to 1,050 + apartments. Mr. Annunziato said Metro is a major, rental housing developer, and very knowledgeable of what is required. - 16 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 Mr. Kevin Henderson presented renderings of a two bedroom unit building and indicated the two story configurations on the ends and three stories in the center. He showed open breezeways on the ends. All of the units have balconies or patios. The renderings showed what was proposed. Mr. Henderson sa.id the colors will be blues and grays. It is a frame construction with cedar beveled siding. Mr. Henderson showed a one bedroom building. Vaulted ceil- ings will be provided in the third story units. All of the units except the one bedroom units will have washers, dryers, and microwave ovens. Mr. Henderson showed other renderings of the buildings with units. Chairman Ryder noticed they scaled them down at the end. Mr. Henderson explained that was to minimize the impact of a three story building. Mr. Henderson showed a maintenance/laundry building. The purpose of the building was to have a place for them to keep their landscape maintenance machinery. It also has a laundry and car wash facility. The site plan provides for a drive- way where residents can drive their cars into the building, put a quarter in the machine, and wash their cars. Mr. Henderson also presented a rendering of the leasing office, which has a sky light, and the front elevation is canopied with a bright blue sail cloth type cover. A bath house and cabana will be located at the pool by the leasing office. The building will provide lavatories, a shower, pool equipment room, and a storage room for umbrellas and chairs which will be around the pool. Mr. Henderson then showed a picture of the mail house with a clock in it, which will be placed in a central location, provide a focal point and architectural interest, and be landscaped. There was also a second cabana with a laundry built into it, which is proposed to be located next to their secondary pool. Chairman Ryder was impressed with the variation and architec- tural design. He was also impressed with the renderings. Mr. Gregory asked how many parking spaces would be provided per unit. Mr. Henderson replied that they average 1.2 spaces per unit. Part of that space has been taken for green area and to provide a curb. All of the parking spaces on the property pull up against a curb, whether it be in front of the buildings or out in the island spaces. There is adequate space to allow an overhang, so the spaces are 9x16 - 17 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 feet long for the 27 foot aisle and two foot overhang. The islands running through all of the parking lots were purposely sized in order to give enough green space for berm- ing and planting. It also gives a nicer turning radius at the ends of the parking areas. Mr. Linkous was concerned about all of the units having wash- ing units for their automobiles if there is a water shortage. Mr. Henderson said it is a high pressure system which utilizes much less water than if a garden hose~as hooked up to a faucet. Mr. Gregory moved to approve the site plan, subject to staff comments. Mr. Pagliarulo seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: LoDolce Warehouse II George Davis, Architect Charles LoDolce S. W. 14th Place Request for site plan approval to construct an 18,512 square foot industrial building on Lot 12, Lawson Park Subdivision Mr. Cannon showed the plan and said it is a one story ware- house building that has 18 bays. It is located immediately south of the warehouse. Mr. Cannon indicated the location of the parcel and said 30th Avenue, which is the entrance to Lawson Industrial Park, is about 200 feet to the north. 39 parking spaces are provided on the site. Mr. Cannon referred to the staff comments. The Public Works Department requested that the dumpster be relocated to the northern property line, just across the parking lot, in order that it will be more accessible, and that a driveway be put in the rear of the building, on the east side, to allow better access. Mr. Cannon also read the comments from the Engineering, Planning, Recreation and Parks Departments, and from the Director of Utilities. George C. Davis, Architect, 1100 South Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, agreed to the staff comments. Mr. Pagliarulo moved to approve the site plan, subject to staff comments.

The applicant drew up the site plan and found out that the sur- vey was inaccurate, so he must make some minor adjustments to the site plan Mr. Linkous moved to table Gateway Centre until the next meeting (February 12, 1985), seconded by Mr. Schultz. Motion carried 7-0. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Eastgate II at Hunters Run Charles Gilbert, Architect Summit Associates, Ltd. Congress Avenue at Summit Boulevard Request for site plan approval to construct 108 units at Tract P, Hunters Run Golf and Racquet Club Mr. Cannon informed the Members that this is the second portion of Tract P. He described the units, indicated lakes, and said the pool is located on the previously approved portion of Tract P. Mr. Cannon read the staff comments from the Building and utility Departments. Mr. Charles N. Gilbert, Architect, 3500 Clubhouse Lane, Boynton Beach, Florida 33436, said the comments that have to do with the sewer and water lines are because that was put in previously, before they knew what buildings were going there. They are having them modified now that the site plan has been set. Mr. Gilbert said he understood the remarks and would comply. Mr. Schultz moved, seconded by Mr. Linkous, to approve the site plan, subject to staff comments. Motion carried 7-0. e Project Name: Agent: Owner- Location: Royal Petroleum Site Plan Modification Dan Bryant Royal Petroleum, Inc. 645 W. Boynton Beach Boulevard 19 MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 Description: Request for approval for a modification to a previously approved site plan to correct inaccuracies in the survey and site design Mr. Cannon said this is the Texaco station approximately in the area of the northwest corner of 1-95 and Boynton Beach Boulevard. He believed it was approved as a conditional use last year and is coming back for site plan approval in order to confirm some of the changes that had to be made. The main change that had to be made was to accommodate the fact that the property lines shown on the original site plans were not correct. Mr. Cannon explained that the site plan was drawn up on the assumption that Royal Petroleum owned the entire rectangular parcel. At the time the land for 1-95 was acquired, some of the property was taken as part of the right-of-way. The applicant had to adjust the shape of the swale areas to accommodate the fact that he does not own the property he thought that he owned. Mr. Cannon showed a right-of-way that had to be shifted slightly to the south in order to accommodate a power pole. Also, there was a change in the configuration of the side- walk, which wraps around the entire southern portion of the site, in order to conform to the boundaries for the right- of-way. Mr. Cannon pointed out that the changes were minor and did not intensify the site in any way. There were no staff comments. Mr. Dan Bryant, Agent, was in the audience, but had nothing to say. Mr. Pagliarulo moved, seconded by Mr. Linkous, to approve the modification. Motion carried 7-0. 7. Project Name: Shooters on the Water site Plan Modification Agent: Reggie Moreau Owner: P.L. & G. Enterprises, Inc. Location: 2280 N. Federal Highway Description: Request for a modification to a previously approved site plan to construct roof sun decks on the east side of the building Mr. Cannon said this was another change to the site plan previously approved at the La Notte Restaurant. The sun - 20 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 decks which the applicant is proposing will occupy somewhere between 2,500 and 3,000 square feet on the east side of the property, facing the Intracoastal. The sun decks will be about ten feet higher than the concrete patio with the swimming pool. Mr. Cannon read the staff comments from the Building and Engineering Departments. With refernce to comment ~3 from the Building Department, Mr. Cannon advised that if the applicant is going to have any type of seats on the sun decks, he will have to prove that he still meets the City's parking requirements. Mr. Reggie Moreau, Agent, 3033 N. E. 32nd Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33308, was familiar with the staff comments. Mr. Moreau referred to comment ~3 from the Building Department and said if the same law that applies to shopping centers applies to them, he doubted that the sun bathers and nightclubbers would be out at the same time so they should not have any problem with the parking. Mr. Moreau did not know why they were not on the plan but the outside decks are already there. Chairman Ryder asked if they were at the upper floor level. Mr. Moreau replied that they are about 2/3 of the way up. There are backstairs that go to the pool level, and a spiral stair case was put in at the other level. Mr. Moreau said they have to get with Mr. Annunziato to decide whether they have to change the stairs or not. If they are interior stairs, they would not be adequate, but because of the fact that they are exterior stairs, they might be. Mr. Moreau informed Mr. Linkous that the sun decks are generally for chaise lounges. The Army Corps. of Engineers made them cut a big slot down the entire front deck on the main level by the pool, and it left them with no place to sun bathe. Since they built the decks over the bars, it was felt they would be more than sufficient to sun bath on them. They will not get beverage service unless they carry it up there themselves. Mr. Linkous moved to approve the modification, subject to staff comments. Mr. Hester seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. - 21 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 8. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Mega-Mini Storage Facility Site Plan Modification Douglas Long Douglas Long 2951 S. W. 14th Place Request for a modification to a previously approved site plan to construct two (2) additional warehouse buildings Mr. Cannon showed that S. W. 30th Avenue runs probably about 200 feet to the south, and S. W. 14th Place dead ends at the location and provides entrance to the site. He indicated the existing warehouse buildings and said this is for personal storage mainly. Mr. Cannon pointed to the parallel parking spaces alongside of the warehouse units and said a large building extends around the perimeter of the site. Mr. Cannon said the applicant is adding on to the east side of the existing warehouse building and providing a new building. The rest of the site will probably be used for future expansion. The applicant is also providing additional parking to meet the CitY's Code along the southern edge of the property. Ail of the applicant's landscaping will be along the perimeter of the property, and Mr. Cannon told the Members the applicant is asking for a variance to relieve the landscaping requirements of the Community Appearance Board in order to put it on the periphery of the property. Mr. Cannon read the staff comments from the Engineering, utility, and Public Works Departments. Mr. George C. Davis, Architect, 1100 South Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, asked the owner, Douglas Long, 2951 S. W. 14th Place, Boynton Beach, Florida 33436, if he was agreeable to the staff comments. Mr. Long was not aware of them but said he more than likely would be. Mr. Davis called attention to comment 92 in the Memorandum from Perry Cessna, Director of Utilities, dated December 29, 1984. Mr. Cannon advised that the utilities Director is requesting at this time that the entire site be connected to the public sewer. Mr. Davis advised that they were agree- able to the staff comments. With that in mind, Mr. Gregory moved to approve the modifi- cationv subject to staff comments. Mr. Linkous seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. - 22- MINUTES - PkANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 8, 1985 ADJOURNMENT There being no more business to come before the Board, the meeting properly adjourned at 9:25 P.
