A. PUBLIC HEAR'ING
1. Proposed Zoning Or~dinan'ce Amendment
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Boynton
Beach, Florida, amending Appendix A - Zoning, of the Code
of Ordinances, City of Boynton Beach, Florida, to amend'
Section One, definition of terms, to add a definition of
"arterial street, collector street, expressway, and local
street" and to amend the definitions~ of "automotive
service stations and lot frontage;" to amend Section Six
B, "C-2 Neighborhood Commercial District" to add an addi-
tional conditional use permitted, being service stations
without major repairs; to amend Section 11, Supplemental
Regulations, Subsection L, to specify the applicability
of said subsection; to amend Section 11.1 to add Sub-
section H specifying the status of existing uses requiring
conditional use approval, providing a conflicts c~use, a
severability clause, authority to codifyr and an effective
date; and for other purposes.
After Chairman Ryder read the above, Tim Cannon
~fotlowing. Several months ago Royal Petroleum, Inc. requested
rezonlng from C-2 to C-3 for a parcel of land on N.W. 2nd Avenue,
west of 1-95 because they had an existing automobile service
station which they wished to expand by putting in new fuel
tanks. Because it was a nonconforming use, they would not have
been allowed to do that. The Planning Department recommended
against the rezoning but recommended that service stations be
allowed as a conditional use in the C-2 Zone. The Planning and
Zoning Board concurred and recommended to COuncil that the C-2
regulations be amended to allow service stations as a conditional
use. This amendment has been put into Ordinance form.
As the applicant's rezoning request has been advertised again
he can press forward with his rezoning request tonight from
C-2 to C~3 , if the~text amendment fails to pass. Mr. Cannon
further reviewed the contents of the proposed Ordinance.
He explained Section 4.1.t. "Uses Permitted", Sections
~nd 8.H~. in detail.
Chairman Ryder asked if Section 8.H. "Status of Existing
Uses Requiring Conditional Use Approval" replaced something
else and amended it because of the service station factor.
MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 10, 1983
Mr. Cannon replied that formerly the zoning district regulations
were unclear as to whether an applicant would have to go through
the conditional use procedure or just get a building permit. The
Chairman stated that in other words, this gave the City an oppor-
tunity to clear it up. Mr. Cannon concurred.
Mr. Annunziato added that Chairman Ryder's point was well taken on
Section 8 in that there was a gap in the City's existing Zoning
Code as to the status of uses which became conditional upon the
adoption of the conditional use provisions which occurred after
the adoption of the Zoning Code. The number of uses wereL'~then
determ~ed to be conditional, however, the status of those uses
was never addressed. This now clearly points out what their
status is with respect to the Zoning Code so it has general
applicability.
In reply to a question Mr. Linkous asked, Mr. Cannon said/~what~.~
Section 6.L means is that if the existing service stations want
to expand their floOr area or site, etc~, they would not have to
strictly comply with the site design criteria of the City for
service stations, however, the particular official or Board or
City Council that is reviewing the site plan, could impose those
conditions if it would be reasonably possible and if there were
some benefit that. would result. Mr. Linkous further asked if
the plat plan were too small, could the variance be either accepted
or rejected? To be further specific, Mr. Annunziato explained that
Section L of the Zoning Code was drafted specifically to address
service stations; new service stations on 17,500 sq.ft, lots.
Obviously most of these existing service stationsr particularly
in a C~2 Zone could not meet every site design criteria that
appeared in Section L~ therefore going through this exercise
became superfluous because there were hardly any of these gas
stations that could meet every one of these specific design
criteria in Section L. That was ~he reason for the first sentence:
"The following regulations shall apply toall service staticns constructed
on or after January l, 1983".
Mr. Annunziato further explained that meant all new service
stations constructed. If existing service stations can do
things to make them safer, consistent with Section L, i.e. having
enough square footage on the site to put in landscaping
or new driveways, etc., then they should do them as a public
safety measure, but if they physically cannot accommodate all
of the site design criteria in Section L, it would not be
mandated and there would be no need for a variance. That
answered Mr. Linkous' inquiry and he thanked Mr. Annunziato.
As this was a Public Hearing, Chairman Ryder asked if anyone
in the audience wished to speak on this Amendment.

Mrs. Alice Boswell of N.W. 6th Court asked what the difference
was between C-2 and C-3 Zoning. Chairman Ryder explained just
what Mrs. Boswell said she wanted clarified. After Mr. Annunziato
answered another question, it was suggested that Mrs. Boswell
~0~i~-~g~t~fur~herr~exptanation from the next item to be addressed
on the Agenda. Mrs. Boswell thanked the Chairman.
As there were no other responses from the audience to speak either
for or against the Amendment, Chairman Ryder declared THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED and would now hear from the Members of the Board.
L
Mr. Mauti asked Mr? Annunziato if he was correct in that the
Amendment was alleviating a nonconforming use. Mr. Annunziato
stated that the standards of these uses will not change until
they go through a conditional use equivalent procedure. We are
providing a mechanism to take away the nonconformity.
Mr. Mauti moved that the Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment
be approved. Mr. Linkous seconded the motion, and the motion
carried 7-0.

Chairman Ryder stated that this request has appeared before

reviewed the previous proceedings that had taken place
and the basis for the Amended Ordinance. For the benefit
of the questionner at the Public Hearing, he!elaborated
on the C-2 and C-3 zoning involved.
Mr. Lee Starkey, Agent for Canadian Petroleum, Inc, stated

MINUTES - PLANNING AND~'ZONING BOARD

that in light of the Board's previous act of amending the zoning
ordinance, he was requesting withdrawal without prejudice.
Inasmuch as the applicant has withdrawn his application, Mr.
Annunziato stated that there was nothing for the Board to review.
Mr. Annunziato asked that the applicant follow up his verbal
withdrawal with a notice in writing. Chairman Ryder asked
Mr. Starkey if he was going to wait as this moves through the
Planning and Zoning Board and through the City Council. If
the proposed zoning ordinance amendment goes through, Mr.
Starkey advised that there would be no need for a~request to
change the zoning. He would be back before the Board with a
Special Exception for a Conditional Use.
Chairman Ryder noted that this would be a gratifying solution
because Mr. Starkey's client is not the only one on Boynton
Beach Boulevard in this category. From the standpoint of the
public, this is a much better solution than going to another
zoning category which may have harmful effects on the surrounding
area. Mr. Starkey agreed and thanked the City Planner and the
Assistant City Planner for their assistance.

Before continuing with further discussion, Mr. Hester moved
that this item be removed.from the table. Mrs. Bond seconded
the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.
Mr. Annunziato reviewed the circu~nstances which led to tabling
this item. The Technical Review Board met to reevaluate the
Board's position concerning N, E. 17th Avenue. At that April
26th meeting, Mr. Annunziato advised that the issue was again
addressed with respect to public safety and certain ordinance
provisions. The public safety issues raised by,the Fire and
Police Departments still exist. The subdivision regulation
states that the continuation of streets should be provided
for to nonsubdivided .properties. For the Board Members'
edification, Mr. AnnUnziato referred to the packets he provided,
including an aerial of the area which depicts the existing
street pattern, and a copy of Section 10, Streets.
Mr. Annunziato continued to say that even though the area of
N.E. 17th Avenue exists in a somewhat unusual form, it would~
in fact, serve a public purpose if continued through to N.E.
4th Street. If the applicant still feels that N,E, 17th
Avenue will not, in the short term or the long term, serve
the public as a through street, there is the potential for a
public hearing and a variance procedure before the City Council~
The applicant is aware of that opportunity. Mr. Annunziato
further stated that the recommendations of the Technical
Review Board remain.
Mr. Cannon was aSked to trace the entire area of N. E. 17th
Avenue and where it would come through.
Mr. Kieran Kilday, Kilday & Associates, Land Planners,
1551 Forum Place, Suite 30'0~E, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401,
stated that they still have a problem based on information
which just doesn't seem to be brought out. Mr, Kilday
brought with him an aerial photograph which he passed among
the Members of the Board. He traced Where N~ET~ 17th_Ave..w~nldbeand
showed Seacrest Boulevard running north and south, He pointed
out where N.E. 17th Avenue runs going through a single family
subdivision up to a point where there is a single family
home. Directly opposite the street is a stop sign. He showed
where at that point, if you wanted to continue on 17th Avenue,
you would turn left, go past a house and then turn right.
The problem Mr. Kilday pointed out was that when you turn
right, there is a gate across the road with a sign on it showing
gha~ the City Police Department installed it, It is a locked
gate. This is something Mr. Kilday said he keeps bringing up
at meetings. Mr, Kilday further noted that this gate
MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 10, 1983
could be opened by somebody but that it is not open to the
general public. Mr. Kilday brought this up because he thought
he was running into a problem wherein the City passed a
resOlution, probably at the request of Four Seasons. Chairman
Ryder noted that the road goes eastward. Mr. Kilday told
Chairman Ryder that there was pavement there and he showed
the Members of the Board the area of the map which is a
parking area. He said it was a platted street on paper,
but right now there are 54 parking spaces on both sides
which is like going through a shopping center double row
parking lot.
Mr, Kilday further stated that immediately in front of the
Parking spaces are the buildings. While the road shows on
paper, Mr. Kilday stated that it is either substandard or
else the buildings are at zero setback and are on the right-
of-way line. Pointing to the map, Mr. Kilday showed the area
which is serviced through 16th Avenue where you can go' over
to 4th Street. Mr. Kilday stated that as part of his
development, they are going to construct the missing link on
4th Street so that you can go all the way up to 22nd Avenue
right across the track°
Forgetting about 22nd Avenue and 4th Street, Chairman Ryder
asked how else one can get to their development. Mr. Kilday
replied that it was the only access. That is what Chairman
Ryder thought and that points up the problem because 17th Avenue,
even if constructed, won't provide access; it will only provide
an additional way into Four Seasons. If it is a public street,
Chairman Ryder thought that it was conceivable that sometime in
the future it could be opened. Then it would provide another
way in. Mr. Kilday was in agreement but said that the policy
of the City right now is that 17th Avenue is closed. Mr.. Kilday
thought that if the City opened 17th Avenue and then asked his
development to extend it through, that would be fine. Mr.
Kilday added that the City built a gate and locked it and on
this side of Four Seasons, they want it through, 17th Street
will dead end at 4th Street because there is a Mobile Home
Park.
Chairman Ryder commented that .it would provide anothsr means
of access and Mr. Kilday countered that it would only to
Four Seasons which is the only place that would be served.
He added that they are being served by 16th which is a couple
of hundred feet south. The big thing which Mr, Kilday thought
was most necessary and would be helpful to the City, was that
he was going to construct 4th Street which does not exist
right now.

MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD

The point Mr. Kilday wanted to make was that they want a go.od
development and that they are trying to have a project that
holds together as one project. B~ecting it with another street
that serves no purpose is just going.to~hurt'.thi~' development
when in building 4th Street, they feel they are helping the
City. Mr. Kilday has talked to people asking them to drive
and look and if they look they are going to see what it is
but he keeps running into a dead end on that.
The request Mr. Kilday was making is that it is a City policy
that 17th Avenue should connect through to 4th Street because
it can't go beyond that point. Then the City policy should
first address why they have a gate across it. The basic
feeling Mr. Kilday had was that Four Seasons is trying to. be
a self contained community and is going to want a gate on
this (pointing to map) side after-they spend the money and have
bisected their own development and have provided them that
access.
It has to be a matter of What is in the public interests,
.Chairman Ryder-pointed out,i.e, access for emergency vehicles,
etc. Mr. Annunziato recognized what Mr. Kilday was saying.
Apparently a public statement was made some 10 to 15 years
ago when ~he 'fence wasp'.constructed and Mr. Annunziato was
not sure if that policy is still an active public policy.
Mr. Annunziato stated that he could only suggest that,
to not construct this portion of N.E. 17th Avenue, is probably
inconsistent with the subdivision regulation. The time to
address this and the way to address this, if the applicant
so feels, Woulo be to request that that portion of the sub-
division regulation may be exempted from that portion of
the subdivision regulation through a variance procedure for
the City Council.
Mr. Kilday sta~ed that he would acquiesce to that also.
Mr. Annunziato added that the Planning and Zoning Board
can view these kinds of decisions only in the short run.
Twenty years from now, these conditions might be so dramatically
changed but the opportunity may have been lost. There will only
be one opportunity to construct N.E. 17th Avenue between the
Four Seasons Condominium and N.E. 4th Street and that is now~
If there is a condominium there, there will be no opportunity,
reasonably speaking.
The fact that we have the railroad in the immediate
vacinity, Chairman Ryder thought was always a barrier. You
can't cross over until you get to a crossing. It would seem
to Chairman Ryder that this becomes a maze in trying to get
MINUTES - PLanNING AND ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 10, .19.83
there. That was why Chairman Ryder asked Mr. Kilday how you
get there other than through 22nd Avenue and 4th Street.
Mr. Kilday replied that was the only way and that 17th Avenue
would not provide an alternative to his project as long as it
was going to be built that way. They have no problem designing
their plan and setting aside that right-of-way. It is the
actual construction and the physical link of the road that
they have a problem with as long as there isn't a need.
The long run solution, Mr. Kilday thought, is that they be
required to set aside the right-of-way for 17th Avenue, if
it was ever decided and they needed to put it through.
Mr. Kilday further advised that he could move the pool
and that he could' adjust the site plan. Their problem is
to put in a street~ He pointed to the area where he would
have a street and said that they have a developed subdivision in
which the only way the City would come in is to totally redo
that subdivision and that doesn't happen very often. The
problem would be the actual construction provision of the
street. Mr. Kilday believed people had not driven oUt there
in the past 30 days and looked at the situation. He thought
~h~y had to drive it to truly understand it.
Mr. Linkous had driven through the site. Chairman Ryder,
in fact, ran into Mr. Linkous out there while with Mr.
Annunziato. Mr. Linkous referred to the suggestion made by
Mr. Annunziato to ask for a variance. Having been a developer,
Mr. Linkous knew what the applicant was confronted with from
the aerial photograph and sympathized with him, If it were
to go to Council, Chairman Ryder knew they would still be
confronted with the problem and he did not know if the
applicant would save much time. If that was the route Mr,
Kilday had to take, he said he would take it and try to
resolve it there. ~ Ail they are trying to do is
a good development and they are going to spend the money
to build the rest of the streets.where they see them working,
but Mr, Kilday did not see where that street goes.
It was Chairman Ryder's opinion that it would definitely be
an asset from what is there now. Mr. Annunziato advised
that there is clear direction here as provided in the sub-
division regulation. The subdivision regulation says two
things. You should extend streets where they currently
terminate through unsubdivided properties. That is a
clear statement. It also says there are provisions for
seeking variances to design criteria and other criteria
in the subdivision regulation. Whether the applicant loses
a month or two months, these are the problems that hav~ to be
approached.

Mr. Kilday woUld have started a month ago had it been presented
at that time. He will apply for the variance b.~t is requesting
that staff visit the site and'analyze the situation~ It was
pointed out to Mr. Kilday that the site was visited. Mr. Kilday
felt that the key would be the 4th Street construction. It
would be a key to the development, to everyone who lives to
the north and south of the project and to the new City clubhouse.
A question was asked by Mr. Norem about the gate to which Mr.
Annunziato replied that the question of the gate was something
which most of the T,R.B. was not familiar with. After a detailed
explanation Mr. Annunziato believed that the staff was not in
support of any gate on N.E. 17th Avenue. Mr. Linkous thought
it might have been put there for the privacy and protection of
the existing development. Mr. Mauti believed the ordinance
covering the gate could be rescinded by the City Council to
which Mr. Annunziato agreed. Chairman Ryder didn't think a
gate would be expected to be across a public street. Since
this is a Public Hearing, Mr. Linkous asked if there were any
representatives at the meeting who could .be consulted with
about the gate. There were no responses.
Mr. Mauti wanted to ascertain from Mr. Kilday that a right-of-
way would be given to the property and thought there was no
reason why the developer could not put a street through the
right-of-way and that the taxpayers should not have to pay
for a street going through that development. If it could not
be used for another access, Chairman Ryder coUld not se~ the
point as What they are trying to get at, is another means of
access, tt was agreed the street should be opened otherwise
everything would have to go north to 22nd Avenue from the
point of 17th which was true for the trailer park too. Mr.
Kilday said they .are opening it up so that the trailer park
would be able to go south to 15th as well.
Mr. Norem asked Mr. Kilday if the fence were not thsre would
that be a question at this point. Mr. Kilday replied that
Four Seasons has not been constructed as a street. It is
substandard. -.~.f Four Seasons had a"street abutting their
property like they did with 4th Street coming north and south~
they would have automatically extended it. The fact is they
missed it completely because it is a paper road that this
came up and the question arose otherwise no one would have
ever known that was a street.
The Board Members continued to discuss this question.
Mrs. Bond thought that perhaps the condominium association
would have a deed or plat plans to show whether this belongs
to them or whether it is privately deeded. Mr. Annunziato
advised that N.E. 17th is a public right-of-way. Councilman
deLong was asked if he knew of any approval Four Seasons
might have gotten from the City. He was not on the Council
- 10 -

at that time. It was Mr. Annunziato's thinking that these
issues couldbe very fully addressed in public hearing form.
It was agreed that although it was regrettable that it could
not be resolved, the issue needed more time. Mr. Linkous
brought up the possibility of posting a bond under, certain
conditions. It was possible but Mr. Annunziato suspected they
would not want to be carrying an insurance premium on a bond.
What Chairman Ryder thought was also involved was recognition
of the fact that the street has to be open and not just put
in. If it does not provide another means of access, Chairman
Ryder did not see the point.
Mr. Mauti moved that the subdivision pre-application of
Townclub of Boynton Beach be tabled, seconded by Mr, Wandelt.

Boynton-Lantana Post %5335 said V.F.W. was a nonprofit organiza-
tion and that they help disabled veterans. Inasmuch as they
do not make a profit, they do not have the money 'to do what
is being recommended, i.e., putting the~recommended wall up and
screening in the dumpster, etc. With regard to paving the alley,
Mr. Churey stated that everyone has access to it while funds
would come from their pocket. He stated if they have to screen
their dumpsters, he called attention to everyone else having
to screen theirs. Since he has been in Boynton Beach for
26 years, Mr. Churey had never heard of this yet and thought
it was ridiculous.
With regard to the water and sewer line, Mr. Churey said it
was only about 200 ft. from where they tap on to from the
Veterinary office and that it would be no problem.
With regard to putting a wall up, Mr. Churey noted that there
is already an Australian Hedge there. He mentioned lighting
required and noted that the V.F.W. owned the property before
the condominium was constructed in which they knew that a
V.F.W. Post would be on that site sooner or la%er and now V.F.W.
is being required to do something which Mr. Churey thought was
ridiculous. Mr. Churey also thought they did not need the
curbing all the way around the hedging in the parking lot and
reminded the Board that V.F.W. was not a profit-making organization.
Mr. Churey further stated that the V.F.W. did not have the money
to pay for the Fire Hydrants or for sewer lines in addition to
paying taxes.
Mr. Churey implored the City's help. Chairman Ryder said that
the Board could not help if the V.F.W. did not agree to the
requirements. Mr. Churey stated that he did not agree to some
requirements and that he was asking for the City to put in the
sewer and water lines since it is the V.F.W. Mr. Hester
explained the impartiality of the Board to any applicant.
Further questions were brought up by Mr. Churey to which the
Chairman offered additional information about the Board.Ts function.

Mr. Churey asked about the reason, for the Conditional Use in
the R-3 Zoning claSsification. Mr. Annunziato explained the
issues involved and further stated that the two mitigating
factorS that were not Code requirements concerned~the
wall and directing the lights away from the residences to the
west. Mr, Churey el/plained ~hy he thoughtf~those t~o ~equi~ements
were not necessary. After discussion, Mr. Churey called attention
to the fact that the site could not have anything but a club on
it right now. Chairman Ryder agreed and as he said before, it
is not a very attractive location. With regard to the paving of the back
alley, Mr~ Churey wondered why half the cost should not be
paid by the others using it as that was only fair.
Mr. Annunziato's suggestion to the paving of the back alley
was that perhaps all the property owners could get together
and there should be an assessment roll prepared. Both the
T.R.B. and Mr. Annunziato thought the use was a good one for
this location, however, he pointed out that this is 1983 and
that buildings in Boynton Beach have not been constructed for years
without the kinds of criteria specified. The primary considerations
are availability of sewer and water and paved roads.
What bothered Chairman Ryder was access of a 30 ft. right-of-way.
Mr. Churey's comments were well taken but Mr, Mauti did not think
the Board could help him unless the guidelines p~escribed-by
the Code were followed. It was Mr. Mauti's thinking that
after this is approved or disapproved, subject to staff comments,
that Mr. Churey's remarks should be addressed to the City Council.
The matter should be put in its proper perspective. What the
Board is trying to do is give the V.F.W. what the law requires
without being hard on anybody, Mr. Churey stated that the V.F.W.
would appreciate all that could be done.
Mr. Annunziato further called Mr. Churey's attention to the tree
and vegetation survey which needed to be taken care of before
the applicant's presentation before the Community Appearance
Board.
After ascertaining that no one wished to speak either for
or against this application, Chairman Ryder declared
THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED.
After discussion, Mr. Mauti moved that the V.F.W. Boynton~
Lantana Post 95335 Conditional Use Approval be accepted,
subject to staff comments. Mr. Hester seconded the motion,
and the motion carried 7-0.

to accommodate the construction
of a 120 bed nursing home and Future
Land Use Element Amendment to change
from Public and Private Institutional
and Governmental to Moderate Density
Residential.
Due to a conflict of interest, Mr. Linkous was asked ~o be
excused from the Board. Mr. Stormet Norem took his place.
Chairman Ryder read the above outline and informed everyone
that this particular site, at the present time, is in a
category of public and private institutional.
Mr. Annunziato pointed out that this request is twofold, It
is a request for a re-zoning consistent with the land use.
The request is to rezone this property from one point of PUD
which was initially established as part of Leisureville,
Section 10 Development to another form of a PUD. to permit the
construction of a 120 bed nursing home and health care facility.
The Land Use Element Amendment would be to amend the future
Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan in the Governmental
and Institutional category into a Residential category and it
is upon that Residential category that we would base the
discussion as to whether or not, in the opinion of the Planning
Department, this is consistent with that Land Use Classification.
Mr. Annunziato described the location and acreage dimensions.
There are 51 parking spaces. The lot coverage of this building
is 17% and the floor area radio is .29. The land use intensity
proposed is 5 of which the floor area permitted is 69,870 sq.fto

minimum permitted is -.50,056 sq. ft and the proposed living
space ratio will provide for 111,16'5 sq. ft~ Access to the
site provides one driveway proposed on Golf Road and one
driveway proposed on Congress Avenue. For the Board's edifi-
cation, Mr. Annunziato pointed out that the driveway on Golf
Road, as shown on the overlay, has been relocated eastward to
provide for 180~ft. dimension~as ~the ordinance requires, The
driveway on Congress has also been red~fined to provide for
only right turn in/right turn out, consistent with. the require~
ments of the T.R.B.
Mr. Annunziato further described the site as well as the
surrounding area in detail. Mr. Cannon pointed out on the
overlay 23rd Avenue or~,.Gotf .~oad and the Congress Avenue
boundaries at the request of some people in the audience
who said there was some confusion.
Mr. Annunziato gave a detailed report on the Land Use
Comparison of Impact. He relayed comparative figures of
anticipated water consumption, estimated sewage flow,
fire protection, and~solid waste. Mr. Annunziato described
the low impact on the recreational facilities and the
schools with this development~compared to the impact study.
Ail of the staff comments, Mr. Annunziato advised~ had been
incorporated into the proposal so that it comes to the Board
without any written staff comments other than a recommendation
for approval.
David S. Pressly, Esq., Moyte Jones & Flanigan~ 707 North
Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach, Florida 33402 (i65R-7500~
came forward on behalf of the applicant, He pointed out
that the applicant is a subsidiary of Manor Health Care
Corporation which is the fourth largest provider in ~he
United States of long term health care services with
over 98 nursing centers in 20 states and therefore the City
is dealing with a very successfull and We'll established
provider of health care services.
To answer any questions, Mr. Pressly had with him, Mr. Rick
Rossi, Engineer, and Mr. Leonard Kahan, Director of Construction.
Chairman Ryder asked if the determination of the location Was
the result of a marketing survey. He was told that it was
but that their marketing people were not present.
Mr. Norem asked about their Certificate of Need and was told
that it was extended until late~August which is when they
have to commence construction and that it was issued 18 months
- 17 -

prior to next August. Mr. Kahan said that it was valid and
current. In answer to Mrs. Bond's questions, Mr. Kahan advised
that this was not a medical center but was for nursing care
with supervising physicians and occasional ambulances in use only
in emergency situations.
Mr. Leonard Kahan, Manor Healthcare Corporation, 10750 Columbia
Pike, Silver Spring, Marylandf answered further questions from
the Board regarding visiting hours being informal. He advised
that the original Certificate of Need was issued at the location
of the subject property.
Mr. Enrico Rossi, P.E., Rossi and Malavasi Engineers, Inc.
1675 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., West Palm Beach, Florida 33401,
explained the nature of his firm's work on this project and
the numerous redesign plans submitted to the City. Mr. Rossi
answered questions from the Members of the Board regarding
the structure of the building and the traffic provisions.
A detailed discussion ensued regarding the traffic accessing
of the site~ Mr. Rossi's explanations included referencing
to the overlay of the site. Mr. Rossi Showed the vacant area
to the east of the site, the rear line,~inCluding footage information.
He mentioned the provisions for kitchen and laundry facilities
Within the building.
Mr. Annunziato asked Mr. Cannon to outline the site for the
Members of the Board. Mr. Cannon outlined the cross shape of
the bUilding showing the two story portion, the'~parking area
the delivery area, etc. Chairman Ryder commented that it was
well set back. One more thing which had changed and is now in
a form more consistent with the T.R.B. review, was pointed out
by Mr. Annunziato - ~he sign which was shown in close proximity
to the southwest corner of the property, has been moved back
in a northeast direction away from the intersection. That was
also upon the recommendation of the Police Department.
Chairman Ryder asked anyone from the audience wishing to
speak in favor of the proposal to come forward. There was
no response. If anyone wished to speak in opposition of
the proposal, Chairman Ryder asked them to come forward.
M~s. Kathleen Kirton, 2526 S.W. 13th Court, Boynton Beach,
President of the GOlfview Harbour Homeowners Assocation
spoke against the rezoning. She called attention to the
recently granted request for a 120 bed nursing home at
Hypoluxo Road to serve the City of Boynton Beach. Mrs.
Kirton took issue with the suitability of another nursing
home in an R1AA area especially since it was a commercial
venture. Speakihg in behalf of her neighboors and those
- 18 -
MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 10, 1983
in her organization, Mrs. Kirton said the City knew the scope of
zoning when they developed the master plan in that area and when
a structure of this type is planned, they should buy land zoned
for that particular thing at the time. That was why Mrs. Kirton
was surprised that Manor Care Nursing Center has had their
Certificate of Need for 18 months since the "For Sale" was up
a couple of months ago. She did not know why she was not notified
about this before. She referred to the gracious life style
of the residents in her community not in keeping with a
commercial venture.
Mr. Tom L. Plummet, 1314 25th Place, Golfview Harbor spoke
against the rezonlng. He referred to the master plan in which
a lot of spot zoning was eliminated successfully. Now, on
behalf of the people, Mr. Plummer did not'want this R1AA
rezoned to commercial use. Mr, Plummer brought up the
difficiencies at that location specifically in relation to
potential traffic hazards due to increased traffic. He
told of specific examples on specific streets and cross
sections. Mr. Plummer referred to the D'.O.T. and quoted speed
limits in his presentation. He voiced his fear for the safety
of people due to increased population and ~mpending traffic
hazards. Before making?a final decision, Mr. Plummer asked the
Board to leave the master plan as is and to please leave the
people their residential area, R1AA.
Chairman Ryder pointed out that whether it is developed R1AA or
whether there is a nursing home, so much is happening on
Congress Avenue, they will get more traffic. Essentially
Congress Avenue is onlY two lanes but north~ near the Boynton
Plaza, developments are coming in, presently all the City is
going to have is two lanes, but eventually the County will
come in. The roads are not put in first. Firs~ly~ you
build and then find the need. That is a fact of life.
Anytime you build something, Chairman Ryder commented, you
are going to get some more traffic.
Chairman Ryder called attention to the fact that when Leisureville
was first built, that was opposed by the people who then lived
in Boyton Beach. People like to keep things the way they
are, but it can't be done. The function of the Board and
the City is to try to do this in an orderly manner, to try
to control densities but they cannot keep people out.
Mr. Peter H. Mooij, 1341 25th Avenue, S.W,, said he was speaking
in opposition to the nursing home per se. After being advised
that the numerous questions he asked could not be answered
due to the fact that this_information was not available, Mr.
Mooij streSsed that those answers should be obtained before

Kelley & Kathleen Kirton, 2526 S.W. 13th Court
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
There were several questions about a market analysis and if
Mr. Norem was not mistaken, he advised that any health care
facility has to make application before the Health Planning
Council showing need and cause. That was why Mr. Norem
originally asked the applicant if they had a Certificate of
Need.
Mr. Mauti brought up a disparity of dates between the purchase
agreement and the Certificate of Need and was advised that there
had been many contracts since the negotiations have been
going on for a long time. ~Mr.. Mauti also wished to ask if
the Board was getting itself involved in spot zoning. Mr.
Annunziato advised that the PUD recognizes nursing homes
as residential uses. I~n fact, -they have some characteristics
which are obviously financial and commercial and as Mrs.
Kirton mentioned they do not do this'~or free'but their
characteristics are primarily, residential. The impact of
their characteristics is~ almost totally less than if the
property were developed as residential. This is a Planned
Unit Development for residential purposes. If it were commercial
within the PUD, it would be a separate category of land use
within the PUD. Mr. Annunziato did not believe that this
kind of use would be considered to be commercial within the
limits of PUD and therefore would not be spot zoning.
Mr. Annunziato further advised that the aspect of this
application which brings the land use from Public and
Private Institutional and Governmental in~o~Moderate Density
Residential, acts to substantiate the noncommercial aspect
of this intersection. Mr. Annunziato believed everyone
realized that there has been and will continue to be commercial
pressure for this intersection. City Councils of the past
have had to fight the commercialization of that intersection.
In Mr. Annunziato's opinion, this acts to substantiate the
residential character of the area.
- 21 -
MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 10, 1983
Mr. Mauti recalled sitting on this Board when the City had the
comprehensive plan and people came before the Board wanting
to commercialize a good part of Congress Avenue. He remembered
when Mr. Annunziato was wholeheartedly against i% bringing out
all his data and arguments, which were all justified. Mr. Mauti
saw no difference be%ween this and anything else commercialized
as being a spot zoning matter.
If the Board was going into spot zoning, Mr. Mauti believed they
would be opening up a can of worms on every corner on Congress
Avenue.
After Mr. Wandelt and Mr. MaUti questioned Mr. Pressly about
their Certificate, it was determined that the Certificate was
for a general area and not for this specific piece of property.
Through the years, the Board has been confronted with spot zoning
and Chairman Ryder did not see the relevancy here. As Mr.
Annunziato pointed out, Chairman Ryder remarked this is closely
related to a residential use and the question is how will this
impact Unfavorably. Not to the extent that it could if it went
Commercial which they tried to do across the street with stores,
etc. Presently it is zoned Public and Private Institutional and
Chairman Ryder did not see a great deal of departure from that
category to what is contemplated here. To Mr. Mauti's way of
thinking, it would still be a commercial use.
Chairman Ryder was on the Board at the same time Mr. Mauti was
when the Comprehensive Plan was approved and adopted and Mr.
Mauti believed there were many occasions where it stated
emphatically to keep the residential areas. If the Board is
going to go into spot zoning, Mr. Mauti said, then let's make
it all the same way.
Mr, Hester questioned whether this would change the Comprehensive
Plan and was told it.would be a change in category. Mr. Hester
could~see where it would be spot zoning but he did see where
there was a change within the last three months. Mr. Mauti
pointed out where that was contrary to this Board. It was
Mr. Hester's thinking that Boynton Beach is not going to stay
the same and that things would change. Personally, Mr. Hester
saw nothing wrong with the proposal.
Further discussion ensued among the Members of the Board after
which Mr. Winter moved to reject the rezoning request of Manor
Care Nursing Center. Mr. Mauti seconded the motion.
Under discussion, Mr. Norem asked if he was correct in that

Mr. Cannon, Assistant City Planner, said the modified site
plan came to the Planning and Zoning Board with a positive
recommendation from the TeChnical Review Board, subject
to staff comment. The only staff comment is from the Planning
Department which recommends the approval of the height
exception for the elevator shaft.
Mr. Cannon explained that the hospital is adding an elevator
shaft to the existing location which would be an extension
of the existing roof line. The Planning and Zoning Board
should make a recommendation as to the 4.5 ft. height
exception that would be required in this modification.
Mr. Robert B. Hill, Assistant Administrator-Operations,
Bethesda Memorial Hospital, 2815 South Seacrest Boulevard,
Boynton Beach, Florida 33435-7995~ came forward. As Mr. Cannon
said, Mr. Hill remarked that the roof line or the parapet wall
will be on top of the elevator extensioh and will be the same
height as an existing parapet wall on the fourth floor of the
wing that protrudes east toward Seacrest. The Hospital presently
has just east of the hatch mark, two existing elevators that go
up to the fourth level above grade and they would just like to
insure that all six of their main elevators are able to service
their fourth floor. At this time two of the six elevators can
service that fourth floor.
Mr. Mauti asked if the Hospital planned to put an extension
on the building adjacent to that elevator shaft. Mr. Hill
replied that he did not and that it was just a shaft that
feeds the floor that goes to the east on the existing fourth
floor. The rest of the building will not support a fourth
level and will only support the three levels that are there
now.
Mr. Likous moved that the site plan be approved subject to
