M. He introduced the Members of the Board, the City Planner, Assistant City Planner and Recording Secretary. Chairman Ryder also acknowledged the presence of Vice Mayor Walter "Marry" Trauger, Councilman Joe deLong and City Manager Peter Cheney in the audience. MINUTES OF OCTOBER 27', 1'981 Mrs. Bond moved, seconded by Mr. Wandelt, to accept the minutes as presented. Motion carried 7-0. ANNOUNCEMENTS Mr. Annunziato, City Planner, announced that Tim Cannon, Assistant City Planner, would be making the presentations tonight, and Mr. Annunziato would answer questions, Chairman Ryder announced that he received communications but, as they related to items on the Agenda, he would wait and present them at that time. Mr. Carmen Annunziato informed the Board that the City Council had referred the issue of analysis of the height exception for the solar pole to the Board~ Mr. Annunziato suspected'that it would come before the Board at the next meeting. Chairman Ryder thought so too, as he had received a letter from City Manager Cheney where he indicated the earliest possible date it should appear on the Agenda of the Planning and Zoning Board would be Tuesday, November 24. At that time, Mr. Annunziato said the Energy Coordinator for the City, Craig Grabeel, will be present. Also, slides concerning conservation of energy will be presented. 'OLD BUSINESS Zoning Ordinance Amendments At the last meeting, two letters which were received from Edgar E. Howell, Building Official, relating to requests for consideration of changes in two instances, were discussed. One regarded overhangs on buildings and the other was with regard to accessory buildings. Mr. Annunziato had called to the Board's attention there were several MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 other matters in a similar category whereby consideration is being requested in changing the ordinances. Mr. Annunziato had advised that to do it piecemeal would not be advisable from the standpoint of expense and the additional work involved. Chairman Ryder had a copy of a letter from Mr. Annunziato showing 17 items that will be the subject of review and possible ordinance changes. Chairman Ryder thought the matter was being expedited and moving along to be set up. The Board will be getting input of what the ordinances are and what the proposed changes will be. Mr. Annunziato added that there would soon be a draft for an amend- ment to the parking regulations, which is part of the Zoning Code. It was one part of the Code which needed attention and it was of size- able enough nature to separate it from the other items. Some of the criteria used for parking may have been out of date or not easy to substantiate or make appropriate for a particular type of use. Also, some extensive research was provided concerning the size of parking spaces so a presentation will be made to the Board probably in less than a month for a new parking lot ordinance which will, among other things, reduce the size of parking spaces and very clearly point out the design criteria. I't will address a lot of the items that are usually raised in staff comments with respect to parking. If it does become an ordinance, there would be an amendment in the Zoning Code and one in the Code of Ordinances. They would be made a.vailable to site designers. NEW BUSINESS A. PUBLIC HE~RINGS: None B. SUBDIVISION: Pre-Application: Project Nam~e: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: North Boynton Industrial Park Michael B. $chorah & Assoc., Inc. Industrial Associates, Inc. South side of Miner Road, West of 1-95, East of High Ridge Road 24 Lot Industrial Subdivision Chairman Ryder informed the Board that the property was located in the northeasterly section of the City, bounded on the east by 1-95, and on the west by High Ridge Road. It is about 1./2 mile north of 22nd Avenue. There have been other applications in the past with regard to developments in this area. One of the critical factors has been the fact that High Ridge Road does not extend~north of 22nd Avenue. There is about 1/2 mile which is totally unimproved. In the past, questions have been raised about access to the site. To get there, you must go to HypOluxo Road, West to High Ridge Road, and then come on down, to about lJ2 mile away from 22nd Avenue. - 2 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 Chairman Ryder felt~the matter of access was very critical, He further pointed out that the site is not, too far away 'from the proposed Motorola plant. Motorola will be on the south side of 22nd Avenue and this will be slightly north of 22nd.kvenue, Chairman~ Ryder thought there was a problem with the road that would need a resolu~tion so that the entire industrial area could be integrated. Tim cannon, Assistant City Planner, said the subdivision would consist of 23.6 acres and comes with the positive recommendation of the Technical Review Board subject to staff comments. The property would be divided into 24 lots and the parcel on the northeasterly corner of the property would not be included in the Subdivision. The lots will be served by three cut-de-sacs, which will be public streets, The plan shows the Streets to have a 22 foot Wide pavement. However, the City Engineer is recommending a 24 foot pavement, ~ich is required for all industrial subdivisions, Mr. Cannon said staff pro~ posed a 60 foot right of way, as opposed to an 80 foot right of way, whick is normally required, The applicant obtained.a 60~ foot .easement from High Ridge Road to the property. However, the staff is recommend- ing a public right~or,way for access to the property, The City Engineer is also requiring that the applicant build High Ridge Road from Miner Road to N, W. 22nd Avenue and provide a 24 foot Pavement, The plans do not show this but'staff is showing it as a condition for apProval, The plans show 40 feet given up for the Miner Road right~of-way, Staff is asking for a 45 foot right-of-way in order to conform to the County sewer plan, Presently, a sewer force main exists on the north- west corner of the property and a 16 inch water line extends along the Miner Road right~of-way. The developer would .be required to pay an appropriate share of the utilities and be required to install a sewage lift station. He would also be required to loop the water line. Finally, Mr. Cannon informed the Board, staff is recommending the applicant change the name of the subdiv~ion since it is similar to the existing Boynton Industrial Park North. Mr. Cannon enumerated the staff comments as follows: City Engineer: "1. A name change is recommended. 2. Construction of High Ridg. e Road to N, W. 22nd Avenue is required for this subdivision. 3, A 60 ft. public right of way should be obtained for the roadway between the proposed plat and High Ridge Road. 4. The future right of way for Miner Road has been established by the Board of County Commissioners as 108 ft. Fifty four ft. (.54 ft.) should be dedicated for public right of way instead of the 40 ft. shown." - 3 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 City Engineer: "5, Roadway construction must provide for a 24 ft, width of pavement according to collector street standards (iSection XIX of Subdivision .Regulations~." Utilities Dept. "i. Proper looping of water lines will be required with line extending southward to the south limits of the property on High Ridge Road. This property did not participate in the cost of the above lines and therefore, will be required to pay their appropriate share plus penalties as required by ordinance. 3. The developer must install a lift station." Mr. Hester asked how close the property would be to the entrance of N. W. 22nd Avenue. Mr. Annunziato replied that the southerly boundary would be approX±mately 1/4 of a mile. Mr. Annunziato said High Ridge currently exists as a paved right-of-way at that location, but it is suggested that High Ridge Road'be continued as a paved and ded±cated right-of~way southward to 22nd Avenue. Mr. Linkous asked who owned the right-of-way, and Mr. Annunziato answered that there were approximately half a dozen property owners involVed, Mr. Annunziato gave the history of the property so the Board would understand. More than a year ago, Jim Raulerson applied to construct a ware- house. At that time staff was concerned about access and avail- ability of public utilities. The utilities issue has been resolved due to the expansion of the City's utility system. The issues of rights-of-way and access were issues that are now beginning to be resolved. 'The owner of the remainder of the land, Bruce Raulerson, was in a position where he could no longer sell any portion of his remaining land without having to subdivide the land first, However, he could convey it in its entirety, which he did. In connection with the transfer of the property to Industrial Associates, Mr. Bruce Raulerson secured commitments from all of the property owners who would have to dedicate a right-of-way for High Ridge Road-, based on someone else construct- lng the road. The information just presented is public information and was made available to potential developers prior to the purchase of the land, Michael B. Schorah, Michael B. Schorah and Associates, Inc,,-came forward as representative of the applicant. Mr. Schorah discussed the staff comments with his client. He advised the name change would be no problem. A new name will be forwarded for approval and consideration by the staff. With regard to the construction of High Ridge Road from Miner Road - 4 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1R81 to N, W. 22nd, negotiations have been made and letters of commit- ment from property owner.s have been given, However, Mr. Schorah said his client and others were preparing to joint venture the construction of High Ridge Road, Mr. Schorah said there was a 6.0 foOt easement which would be intended to be dedicated as a'~public right-of-way. There is no objection to the 610 foot right-of-way. The future right-of-way for Miner ROad came as a surprise. It was discussed with the County Engineering Department and it was established by the County as 180 feet. Mr. Schorah did not think there was very much they could do about it at this time. He did not-know whether the County intended to project'High Ridge Road across 1-95, ~r. Schorah felt it~Was beyond, the control of the City of Boynton Beach. That is COunty established. If that is the case, Mr. Schorah~s client would have to conform to the additional 14 feet, Mr. Schorah advised that they were proposing 22 feet on the road- way construction. He said he would like to discuss it further with the Engineering Department to see if 24 feet is a requirement. Mr. Schorah told Chairman Ryder he was talking about the pavement within the project~ Chairman Ryder asked if they were going to be dedicated streets within the project, and Mr. Scho~ah replied, "Yes." Mr. Annunziato commented that Mr, Schorah was accurate in saying that had not been determined"in the discussions but based on a further analysis of the subdivision regulations, there is no ques- tion that for industrial and commercial subdivisions there is no choice but to construct up to standards. Mr. Annunziato said it was something they were not able to resolve after the discussions. Mr. Schorah asked if it was decided after the discussions. Mr. Annunziato replied~that was correct, and it was an issue that could only be resolved by compliance with the COde. Since it was "cut and dry", Mr, Schorah advised Chairman Ryder there would be no need for him to discuss it with the Engineering Department, Mr. Schorah met with Perry Cessna, Utility Department, and felt it was very clear what was required. Mr. Schorah said they would try to accommodate the requirements of the City's Utility Department. Mr. Annunziato noted that Mr, Schorah twice mentioned joint ventures, one with respect to High Ridge Road and, secondly, with respect to a lift station, Mr, Annunziato brought the Board up-to- date by saying the property owner to the' north of Miner Road and adjacent to High Ridge Road is the Point Manalapan Corporation. They own approximately 60 acres. There have been discussions with them concerning annexation into the City and zoning. In fact, the City has talked to the County about the potential zoning scheme that the Point Manalapan people haVe in mind. Mr. Annunziato said the zoning~ mitigation of nuisances, and traffic would be subject to County review and approval. They do wish to annex. Chairman Ryder asked if Point Manalapan Corporation was currently getting water and sewer from the City. Mr. Annunziato said the property is currently undeveloped but they would be getting water and sewer from the City. He recommended that this industrial - 5 - MINUTES - PLANNINGAND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON B~CH,..FLQRIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 subdivision be made responsible for the individual improvements, Mr. Annunziato also recommended that when ~nd if the property~to the north really, does annex and develop, t~at they also will be made responsible for improvements Then they can have a joint'ventur.e, ~th fails to annex Or fails to develop but if the property to the no at a pace consistent with thi division cannot exist without Mr. Annunziato felt it was in~ those issues with this applic~ those to the north when that Chairman Ryder thought at a definite commitment and, in cant that the road will go in met.

Mr. Tim Cannon presented the site plan for the restaurant and lounge, which he said came to the Board with a positive recommenda- tion, subject to staff comments. Mr. Cannon said the docks and existing marina would remain. The buildings to the marina would be demolished~to make room fore,he parking lot. The restaurant will be a circUlar building with a diameter of. about 108 feet. The ground flo~r.will have a restaurant, entertainment area, and a bar, which will be surrounded by a shallow pool. The second floor will consist of a dance flOor and bar, which will also have a pool on the perimeter of the building. The parking lot will have access by Federal Highway and Las Palmas - 6 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 on the North. Mr. Cannon read staff comments, as follows: Building Dept.: "1. 2. Board of Health permit required. Hotel and Restaurant control number required. Water Management permit required. Six (6) required handicap spaces, (Two (2) twelve foot (12') wide and four (4) ten foot (10') wide. Sidewalk required on Las Palmas.

This - 8 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 means that this dumpster will be in clear view from the second story of Lot 1, Fisherman's Landing. We would suggest~ that this dumpster be enclosed in a refrigerated building as this will keep odor down, not cause unsightliness, and keep animals and insects out. Also, this we feel would be of benefit not only to residents of Fisherman's Landing but to the owners of LaNotte as well. ~nother aspect which .concerns us is one of noise caused through mechanical equipment on.the roof and sounds fr°m the night club ballroom and outdoor bar. I't may be possible to eliminate most of the noise, produced by mechanical equipment by relocating the equipment to the parking' lot, The airborne sounds from the night club and ballroom could be minimized by sealing off the build- ing, One further addition which we feel would be of benefit to the community would be to landscape the wall to the nortk side of the building, adjacent'to the canal. We trust that these points are felt to be valid and constructive, as it is not our intention to be obstructive. /s/ David. R, Dennington" A copy of the letter was sent to the Planning and Zoning Board. Chairman Ryder pointed out that the six foot masonry wall would be going up on'the north boundary line. It is a requirement when residential occupancy is adjacent to commercial. Mr. Philip Reeves, Architect, said he did not have a copy of the letter, but the dumpster did pose a problem. The dumpster will be 25 feet away from the property line and there will be a six foot solid wall. Mr. Reeves said there were other methods which would help eliminate the' odor other than refrigeration. They wanted to explore them further before they make a final deter- mination as to the dumpster, Chairman Ryder asked what methods Mr. Reeves had in mind. Mr. Reeves replied a compactor which compacts all of the refuse in a self-contained container. There are automatic deodorants and insecticides which keep rodents, insects, and bugs away. It is a part of the dumpster, compacted directly in it, and it is disconnected and loaded right into the truck. It is done like an ordinary commerCial application, Chairman Ryder inquired about the air-conditioning equipment and refrigeration equipment. Mr. Reeves said they had a very large roof area with a six foot high wall around it. He did not believe anyone would hear it. If it was on the ground level, Mr. Reeves - 9 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 thought it would be noisy. Mr. Ree'ves said they propose to completely enclose the area to help minimize the noise on the roof. Mr. Annunziato pointed out the roof area where the mechanical equipment would be. It was a one story building. Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that to the north, there is a wall which extends six feet above the roof line. Mr. Annunziato explained the plans to the Board. He pointed out the roof line. There is a six foot wall which exceeds-the kitchen roof line. The applicant proposes to install his mechanical equipment behind the slx foot wall. He questioned the applicant about enclosing the equipment. Mr. Reeves said it would not be roofed. Chairman Ryder ascertained that the equip- ment would be on the roof. Mr. Reeves pointed out there is abOut a 16 foot height from the grade up to the top of the wall, which would be about to the top of the windows of the second story house. There would be a palHapet wall all the way around. Mr. Annunziato pointed out the wall Mr. Dennington referred to, which should be landscaped. He thought there may be'three or four feet of landscapable area, Mr. Reeves advised they would do something, Mr. Linkous asked what the height above the roof would be and Mr. Reeves answered six feet. Mr. Reeves, Architect,. advised that the glass they planned to use is acoustical glass, which has been used at several airports, As water amplifies, by using the glass, sound will not be heard. Mr~ Reeves told Chairman Ryder the glass would be 'laminated. Although it is very expensive, it does the job. Mr. Annunziato showed Mr. Wandelt where the dumpster would be, and said it would serve the kitchen. Mr. Zive asked what type of restaurant it would be. Mr. Jack Clark, Owner, said the restaurant Would have a medium priced up to a high priced food menu. He said it would be somewhere between Bernard's and the Banana Boat. Mr.. Clark informed the Board that there would be entertainment and ballroom dancing, They are looking for middle aged and older people, and hoping to attract boating people. People can pull their boats into the dock and have a nice dinner. There will be no more "Big Ben" drift boat. Mr. Clark said the former operations had been more or less disposed of. There are four little buildings that will be torn down. One will be used for a construction office but they will definitely be removed. They want a nice entrance way into-Las Palmas. Mr, Clark said the entrance way was moved as far as it could be and still comply with the stacking situation. They are also trying to move traffic away from the first residential home. Mr. Clark showed the employees' parking spaces. The entrance way will bring the traffic into valet parking. - 10 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 Mr. Clark wanted to comply with all requirements. He said their landscape entrance will improve Las Palmas. There will be fountains that will pump water up intO the air and there will be waterfalls cascading down from one level to another. There will be a beautiful entrance way into Las Palmas and into their place, Mr. Winter thought there might be a .problem for cars coming out as there~did~not appear to-be much room to stack cars. Mr. Clark did not think twenty or thirty people would be leaving the restaurant at the same time. If people are going north, they can go right out to the Federal Highway. Southbound traffic will probably go out Las Palmas and g~o out with the traffic light. Mr. Zive lived only two blocks away and said it would be nice for all of the people. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone wished to address the Board regard- ing the application. Michael B, Schorah, Professional Engineer, again appeared before the Board. He was representing the owners of Fisherman's Landing. He commented on the letter written by Mr. Dennington. Mr. Schorah stated that the residents were primarily concerned with the dumpster. He suggested the dumpster might be moved to the south side of the~building as opposed to the north side. Chairman R~dle~.~ asked if Mr. Schorah~meant the dumpster Should be moved entirely away from the kitchen. Mr. Schorah did not know the location of the kitchen, The other concern was the noise factor of the mechanical equip- ment, which ~s poised next to the residential site, He .wondered if that could be moved to the soUth side. It was pointed ou~ that was not the roof, but the swimming pool, Mr. Clark said their big problem was .that it is a narrow piece of property, The City requires that they stay 25 feet from the property line so there is room for the dumpster trucks ko get in and out. On the south side of the property, there is only a sidewalk width between the bUilding and the property line. They tried to acquire property from the person who owns the vacant property on the south, but they could not make an agreement with him, Oo the second level, they thought if they. put up a wall six feet around the equipment, it would deaden any sound, plus there will be a six feet wall with shrubbery on the interior side of it. Mr. Schorah agreed that the applicant addressed the nuisance problem, noisewise, because of the special type of glass. He asked about the windows being opened during the winter time. Mr. Clark said'that would, not happen. Mr. Schorah asked, about people walking around at night. Mr. Clark said there would be a very shallow pond all around the outSide of the second level with all fixed glass. He pointed out the fixed glass and an emergency - 11 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 exit from the second level. Mr. Schorah thought the boats mentioned by Mr. Clark might make a tremendous amount of noise at midnight. He wondered if the restaurant would.~have a 2:00 A. Mi music license. Mr. Annunziato advised that the City had a noise ordinance which would more or less prevent a noise nuisance. Mr. Annunziato said boats were so much a-part of life in South Florida and he did not know whether they would come under the noise ordinance. .He said there were boats in every canal in South Florida. Mr. Wandelt noted the railroad tracks were right-across the street and the trains were noisy too. Mr. Clark remarked that they thought by not allowing permanent dockage, they were eliminating a bigger hazard than the transient people who would come in with their boats. He thought a marina operation would..be more of a hazard than what they propose. The type of vessel Mr, Clark's restaurant is looking for is not a gang of teenagers on a small boat. Mr. Clark thought the restaurant would attract a nice type of people. Mrs, Bond asked who would be swimming. Mr. Clark replied the clientele. There are several types of restaurants similar to this in Hawaii and Acapulco, It would really be part of the decor. There will be pumps pumping water with lighting. In the winter, it will be too cold for swimming, Mrs. Bond asked if there would be locker rooms. Mr. Clark said they had not gotten into that but if they do, they would have to meet the Health Department Codes. Mr, ~nnunziato had some comments which he wished the Board to incorporate into their motion in addition to staff comments. They were as follows: That baffles be constructed~, in addition to the six foot wall, adjacent to the equipment Which could cause the noise or vibration to be directed either up or away from the resi- dential area. (~Mr. Annunziato had a brief conversation with the architect and, apparently, this is a common treatment.) That the applicant come up with a scheme to better treat his garbage problem. One scheme has been offered by Mr. Dennington. Another scheme has been offered by Mr. Reeves, Architect. Mr. Annunziato said it was incumbent upon the applicant to face the problem, as there would be an insect, rodent, and odor problem. Something must be done with the garbage. Chairman Ryder advised the applicant that in 'the event they found they could not move the dumpster to another location, that they come up with alternate means prior to the next Council meeting. - 12 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 Chairman Ryder asked the applicant to also try 'to deaden some of the.noise that might be caused by the equipment. Mr. Clark said they will do whatever they have to. Chairman Ryder informed the residents of the area that plans woutd be available in Carmen Annunziato, City Planner's office, and they should feel free to look at them. The Board makes a recommendation to the City Council but the Council is the one who makes the final decision. Derle Bailey, 644 Las Palmas, told the Board they recognize something is being done and are appreciative of it and are glad it will be improved. He remarked that Mr. CLark has been most cooperative with him and~more than willing to answer his ques- tions, However, there are some minor discrepancies which can probably be worked out by a meeting between the residents of Las Palmas and Mr. Clark. It should not affect the decision of the Board. Mr. Bailey previously said he would be looking at the fence in his back yard. Mr. Zive moved to approve the restaurant's site plans, subject to staff comments, and that t~e applicant put in some mechanism for baffling his mechanical equipment and also come up with some type of treatment for his garbage dumpster. The' applicant can report back next Tuesday when this goes to Council. Mr. Hester .seConded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0.

Tim Cannon, Assistant City Planner, presented the ~lans, and said they come with a positive recommendation, subject to staff comments. Chairman Ryder pointed out there are three buildings - a production building, an engineering building, and one for material~handling facilities. Mr. Cannon said the project will be located on the east side of Congress Avenue. Most of the buildings will be on the northern half of the site.

MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 Utilities Dept,: Public Works Dept.: Fire Dept.: " . ,in building the utilities on Congress Avenue, two (_2) 10" water lines were stubbed out to serve Motorola, one as shown for their domestic service and fire protection, and a second one near the south end of their property for future use when the south portion of the property is developed, Fire protection is from their lakes and is not tied to our .system, per their application to Palm Beach County Health Deparbment," It was the opinion of the Public Works Depart~ ment that the City not assnme the responsibility of solid waste'collection but authorize a licensed solid waste contractor to provide this service. The following information is submitted for consideration substantiating the recommendation: "a, The City Sanitation Division Will need to incur substantial capital costs for several roll-off containers and a special truck. b, The City does not currently have the facilities to handle this type of con- tainers. c, A back-up truck will be necessary as this will be a daily operation, d. Container/Compacter maintenance will be a major concern. e, The additional equipment will impose a heavy impact on the Municipal garage. f. The equipment will be multi-functional." The Public Works Director further commented that because~of the new system.of routing and plckrup planned for next year, which would compose several costs, the Sanitation Department would not be able to handle these new requirements and new operations and at the same time accommodate Motorola. "1. Road access for fire fighting operations and water supply connections shall be provided for the west elevations of the proposed construction. This may be accomplished by providing compacted crushed stone to support appropriate loads and covered with sod." 2, Water supply mOdifications are~under advise- ment and coordinated efforts to expedite this matter are acceptable at this time." - 15 - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 10, 1981 Police Dept.: The Police Department is asking that the applicant share the protection of its materials and equipment at the-site.
