OLD BUSINESS Chairman Thompson referred to review of the pedestrian bridge requirement in Golfview Harbour being listed on the agenda and time and this preliminary plat. stated this appear, s on the agenda at a later item can be covered during the review of the NEW BUSINESS // Pre-Application MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Applicant: Location: Project Description: Edgewood Heights (Gene Pierce, Agent) North of N.W. 8th Court at Old Boynton Road 22 residential lots on 6.13 acres (single family homes) Mr. Annunziato informed the Board this is a pre-application according to the subdivision regulation providing for 22 single residence lots in compliance with the R-1AA classification. He explained the proposed street layout. This is a layout which the Board reviewed several months ago and the staff and Board commented about N. W. 10th Street being constructed in connection with this proposed subdivision and that the issue of thru lots be addressed. There were several comments from the Technical Review Board in regard to this. He then pointed out where the City utilities were connected and available. Mr. Annunziato referred to the Technical Review Board's review and advised the following comments were prepared. The Fire Department noted that fire hydrants are required per the sub- division regulations.~ The Engineering Department noted that a layout using the existing right-of-way for N. W. 10th Street and eliminating double street frontage for all lots except for corner lots is recommended. The Police Department notes that street lights and traffic signs are required. The Public Works Department noted that no underground garbage cans will be allOwed. The Planning Department noted no through lots and N. W. 10th Street should be constructed with access roads off it. The Recreation & Parks Department notes this subdivision is approved with accepting a fee in lieu of land. The appli- cant is present to address the issues. Mr. Gene Pierce, 4804 Palo Verde Drive, stated he would like to answer the objections put forth. He will change the water line from 4" to 6" In respect to through lots, in the regu- lations they looked at, lots on two streets are according to the regulations with provisions made by putting up a buffer. People like to live in small areas where there is no through traffic. In the regulations, it says all subdivisions should discourage through traffic. He told about Wellington being designed this way and how it was preferred. Through lots are not precluded since the regulations have a provision for buffers. This subdivision was designed to have a minimum cost. It doesn't interfere with any other property or any other street. If at any time, the street in question needs to be put through, it could be done. Another important thing is the cost. If they have to put the road in on the west side of this development, the cost of the lots would rise in excess of $2,500. Any person who buys a house in this community with monthly payments would be $27.50 more because of the street being put in. If the street is put in, complexity would be caused where 10th Street runs into the intersection of other streets. That kind of intersection is strictly against the -2- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 rules and regulations set forth for subdivisions. It would go into Boynton West Road and is not desirable. Mr. Annunziato replied it is not as desirable as some he has seen, but that street was platted years ago and the subdivision regulation requests this be addressed and the configuration will serve quite a bit of the property. Mr. Pierce pointed out that the property can be served by the street on the north. To cut through 10th Street and meet the setbacks, it would completely destroy the lot On the southwest corner which is not a part of this subdivision. Mr. Annunziato stated that the right-of-way exists and Mr. Pierce disagreed and stated that 15 additional feet must be donated which means this lot would not be usable. Mr. Annunziato clarified that in either case, the situation won't change because this street was platted 60 years ago. Mr. Pierce referred to putting in 10th Street and advised their property only has 40% of the frontage on 10th Street and the other 60% would be other people. He does not see why they should be compelled to put in the road especially since this development they have proposed meets all the rules and regula- tions and makes a cheaper lot cost and better home community and cuts out through traffic. Chairman Thompson referred to the increase-in cost for the lots and Mr. Pierce informed him the sale price of the lots will be $12,500 and any additional cost for this development will be added to that lot cost. To put in this street would be in excess of $2,500 per lot. This development of 22 lots would be nice and would sell easier and could be sold cheaper without this road. He cannot understand being forced to put in this street when their frontage is only 40% of it. If the other owners would pay their share, then the cost would only increase $1,000 per lot. Chairman Thompson referred to Sky Lake being developed to the north and stated that 10th Street would not serve just this development. It is a platted street and has been taken into consideration for development of the Sky Lake development. Mr. Pierce suggested that it be put in when needed, Chairman Thompson replied that he does not think it is fair to add the cost to the last developer. Mr. Pierce asked how many units there would be in Sky Lake and Chairman Thompson replied about 160, but there will be another road going into Old Boynton Road. Chairman Thompson questioned the rOute for the traffic going into this development and Mr. Pierce replied it would come in from the north. Chairman Thompson stated this would direct a tremendous amount of traffic through the Laurel Hills area. Mr. Pierce advised that he has made arrangements to buy the parcel to the west on the basis of possibly this road being vacated. Chairman Thompson again referred to the traffic going through Laurel Hills and Mro Pierce replied that this is just a small development. Chairman Thompson added that if 10th -3- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Street is vacated, it would add a significant amount of traffic through Laurel Hills. Mr. Pierce stated if this is going to be turned down, he wants to know the possibility about 10th Street being vacated if all the property owners agree to it. Chairman Thompson informed him this would require a public hearing pro- cess. Mr. Ryder stated there is the question whether this would be the proper thing to do. Mr. Pierce stated if it can't be done, then this little development will have to pay for access for all the property to the west and Sky Lake. Chairman Thompson clarified that he has to provide access to the area he is developing. Mr. Annunziato then read from the regulations that double frontage lots or through lots shall be avoided except where essential to provide separation of residential development from traffic arteries or to overcome specific disadvantages of topography or orientation. Where double frontage lots are developed, they shall be buffered as required by this ordinance. He clarified that he doesn't think there is anything comPelling the requirement to keep these through lots. Furthermore, it is not necessary to have lots fronting onto 10th Street. The lots could front on east/west roads and be served. He explained how there were several ways to arrange it. Mr. Pierce stated that to him, the $27.50 per month the home- owners will have to pay for the rest of their lives is very important. He asked if the roads could be deadended at 10th Street and Mr. Annunziato replied negatively. Mr. Pierce asked if temporary cul-de-sacs could be put in and Mr. Annunziato stated that the recommendation has been made. Mr. Ryder stated the Board has to act on what is presented. He thinks it has been pointed out that an area is being developed and streets are important. This applicant is not being asked to do this because of Sky Lake, but because his property borders on a street which is platted and is part of the traffic system. He cannot see any way to do away with the street. Mr. Pierce referred to his suggestion to put in temporary cul-de-sacs and Mr. Ryder stated that 10th Street is here to stay and someonemust pave it. Mr. Pierce pointed out that they are only along 40% of the street. Mr. Ryder clarified that the Board must address what has been presented and make a recommendation. Chairman Thompson added that the proper way to address 10th Street would be to go through the public hearing process first. It is platted and must be con- sidered now. Mr. Pierce referred to the church being built on 10th Street and 'questioned why they should have to pay the entire cost when there is other property along it and a subdivision planned to the north. The plans for the development meet every rule and requirement of the City. Mr. Annunziato stated that it violates the through lot requirement. -4- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Mr. Ryder stated we should go ahead and act on what has been presented. If the applicant wants to appeal it, he can do so before the City Council. Mr. Ryder moved to recommend approval of the pre-application for Edgewood Heights, north of N. W. 8th Court at Old Boynton Road, a development in an area zoned R-1AA, together with all the re- quirements and conditions of the Technical Review Board and staff comments. Mr. Winter seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 4-0. Chairman ThOmpson called for a short recess until 8:00 and then reconvened the meeting at 8:00 P. M. Public Hearing - 8:00 P. M. Rezoning and Master Plan: Applicant: Location: Request: Use: Summit Investment Corp. (Peter Scott, Agent) A parcel of land bounded on the West by the right-of-way of 1-95, on the North and East by High Point Apartments Subdivision, and on the South by the right-of-way of S.W. 23rd Avenue and lands owned by the State of Florida (DOT). Rezone from R, 1AA to PUD with LUI = 7 Construction of 12 residential, fourplex single story, condominium units, pool and meeting room. Project Name: Bethesda Park Mr. Annunziato informed the Board this application represents rezoning to PUD from R-1AA. Several months ago, this appli- cant proposed rezoning to R-3 which was subsequently withdrawn after negative response at the public hearing. The issues raised were fear of rental units, height of buildings, and access. Also, they could not pin down what the development would be. The applicant has now submitted a plan consistent with the PUD regulations which provides for twelve residential fourplex single story' buildings. The plans call for units with two bedrooms, living room, dining area, kitchen, 1½ to 2 bathrooms, and a patio with a total area of 1,290 square feet selling in the low 60's. Mr. Annunziato referred to utilities and stated when the City installed a 16" water line along S. W. 23rd Avenue, tees were placed in line to serve this property in two locations. It will have a looped system with easily accessible fire hydrants. He then explained the road system. Concerning sewage, the site would be served by a gravity collection system and it is proposed an easement would be secured from High Point to con- struct a gravity sewer line adjacent to the 1-95 right-of-way. -5- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 MrQ Annunziato continued.that the drainage will be accounted for and he would like to open the public hearing and then ad- dress the staff comments. Chairman Thompson asked if anyone in the audience cared to speak in favor of this rezoning request and received no re- sponse. He asked if anyone cared to speak in opposition to this rezoning request. Mr. Francis Powers, 255D High Point Court, asked if the zoning change is granted, does this developer have to build according to the plans submitted to the Board and Mr. Annunziato replied affirmatively based on the PUD ordinance. He explained that if this rezoning is approved, any modification to the zoning would have to go to the City Council to determine if it was a substantial change and would have to be approved by the Plan- ning & Zoning Board. What is shown on the plans has to be deVeloped as required by the PUD zoning. Chairman Thompson ascertained there were no further speakers and declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Annunziato referred to the staff comments. City Engineer's comments as follows: He read the 1. Drainage computations to be revised to show runoff from the first hour of a three-year storm (2.65 inches) or the first inch of runoff, whichever is the greatest. 2. Water Management District approval of drainage is required. 3. The intersection of the proposed roadway with S.W. 23rd Avenue should be at right angles with a 50 ft. radius from the edge of the pavement. A permit is required from Palm Beach County. 4. A cross section through private drive and parking lot should be clarified. 5. Construction of roadway within the County right-of- way must meet City specifications. He read the memo from the Director of Utilities stating in this PUD, the sewer lines must be straightened out with addi- tional manholes so they are in the middle of the private roads and not running under parking areas. Secondly,' it will be the developer's responsibility to get the necessary easement(s) to run by'gravity into the,High Point lift station. Thirdly, the lift station must be supplied with three phase power to eli- minate the add-a-phase units that are presently coverting single phase power to three phase power. -6- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Mr. Annunziato continued that the Police Department has noted subject to stop signs at Golf Road and the driveway, The Public Works Department noted dumpsters must be phased out to accommodate trash pickup, The Planning Department has noted street lights are required; parking to be 65' for two way 90° o and 45' for one way 90 . Also, he commented about the condo- minium documents like the City Attorney did. He then read the comments noted by the City Attorney: I would'need to see the papers which vest title in the applicant for the PUD; none were included. I would like to see something spelled out more clearly on the matter of responsibility for common areas. I would like something more clear on the termina- tion of the condominium association and who picks up their responsibilities. He then read the memo from the Recreation & Park Director: "Upon initial review, recommend clarification of the 'Proposed Recreation Area Site', Recommend the developer review the subdivision ordinance relative to requirements necessary to receive one-half credit for required public dedication. "Based upon 48 units and the required ,015 acres per unit, .720 acres are required for public dedication, Upon compliance with the subdivision ordinance, one-half credit can be allowed, reducing the dedication to ,360 acres. "Recommendation will be fee in lieu of land." Mr. Annunziato then read a letter from the developer addressing this and advised that Mr. Frederick is in agreement that it is consistent with his recommendation. Mr. Annunziato stated in regards to drainage, a letter was received from the South Florida Water Management District and he read this letter dated October 10, 1980. He then read the letter dated September 16, 1980 from the County Traffic Engi- neer. He then paraphrased from the letter dated October 1, 1980 from the School Board stating the analysis conducted by School Plant Planning .on the existing High Point of Delray has shown that only two senior high students presently reside at High Point. It would appear, based on the existing High Point and similar condominium developmentS, location and anti- cipated market price of the individual units, that few, if any, public school age students can be expected to emanate from the proposed development. MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Mr. Annunziato stated the recommendation is this be approved sUbject to staff comments. Mr. Ryder referred to the County Traffic Engineer's suggestion that the entrance be squared away and stated that neither he nor Mr. Clark goes into the matter if it is squared away, possi- bly there should be a de-acceleration lane going westbound. Mr. Annunziato replied that he believes Mr. Walker addressed that with noting sufficient pavement for turn lanes. Mr. Ryder pointed out that the reference was for left turn lanes, but he is suggesting a right turn lane going westbound. He thinks there should be a de-acceleration lane if the entrance is squared off. Mr. Annunziato stated that sufficient right- of-way does exist for that type of improvement. Mr. Ryder recommended that this be looked into. Mr. Ryder commented that this is presented for the second time and from the standpoint of the objections the 'applicant was confronted with, he thinks they have been satisfied, particu- larly with these being single story units. Chairman Thompson questioned the approximate distance between S. W. 6th Street and the entrance to Bethesda Park and asked if there Would be a traffic hazard with the traffic coming out and Mr. Annunziato replied that there appears to be at least 200 feet between the two. Mr. Gentry informed them that the County addressed this and the design was laid out accordingly. Mr. Winter made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Board recommend to the City Council the.approval of the rezoning application for Summit Investment Corporation for construc- tion of twelve residential four-plex single story condominium apartments as well as the rezoning from R-1AA to PUD with an impact of seven units per acre fOr Bethesda Park subject to staff comments. Mr. Ryder seconded the motion with the recom- mendation regarding a westbound de-acceleration lane and Mr. Winter agreed. No discussion. Motion carried 4-0. Preliminary Plat Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Project Description: Golfview Harbour Estates (N. Michael, Agent) East of South Congress Avenue and South of L-27 Canal (Lazy ~ake Waterway) Tracts Two & Three/Golfview Harbour Third Section 128 units on 13.655 acres -8- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Chairman Thompson announced we will also be considering review of the pedestrian bridge requirement. Mr. Annunziato stated these two items are specifically and integrally related in that existence of one impacts on the existence of the other. In regards to the bridge,several years ago when the third sec- tion of Golfview Harbour was platted, four tracts were created. Tract 4 was initially conceived in the early 1970's as possibly being suitable for commercial development. It was addressed mn a rezoning application and in the courts. The court ruled in favor of the City and subsequently it will be developed for residential purposes. It was contemplated these tracts should be connected with a pedestrian bridge. Additionally, the bridge was to carry a water line to support the development of Golfview Harbour, Third Section. Many things have changed. The use of Tract 4 for commercial purposes will not be developed as such. These tracts of land are being developed in a fee simple manner with common areas. It appears the bridge is no longer needed to connect Tract 4 from an access viewpoint. From the utility viewpoint, the water line is no longer neces- sary because it is contemplated the water line will project to the west connecting to the existing water line on the east side of Congress Avenue and connecting to the existing 16" water line on the west side of Congress Avenue. There has also been a petition on the part of several Golfview Harbour homeowners requesting this bridge be removed from the requirement to be constructed. The bridge currently exists as a bonded improve- ment in connection with the development of the Third Section and is not constructed. The way it impacts on this plat is if the bridge is not removed, it violates the preliminary plat because this plat contemplates removal of the easement serving that bridge. Mr. Norman Michael is present and can address this issue. Mr. Michael stated basically what Mr. Annunziato has said is true and at this moment, they don't see any reason for the bridge. An 8" water line was contemplated that would go under- neath the bridge crossing into Tract 4 and connecting into the main water line on S~ W. 23rd Avenue. That system has been re-aligned and the 8" water main is connecting with the main on Congress Avenue and it will go up S. W. 25th Place. Mr. Ryder clarified that the two prime considerations for this bridge were access to the commercial area and to carry the water line. The commercial area is out and other means have been made for the water line. Mr. Michael agreed and added that he doesn't know what is going to happen to Tract 4. If they were to construct the bridge, the water line has been relocated and anyone crossing into that area would be going onto private property and t!here would have to be a barricade at the other end. -9- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Mr. Ryder agreed the bridge would pose a security problem and he thinks it would be harmful to provide that access. Mr. Michael continued that the right-of-way is 100 feet and the canal is 60' wide. It would result in being a collector for kids wanting to fish. The liability insurance would be great. There would also be a liability placed on the homeowners in the future because of the bridge. Mr. Annunziato advised the reason this is being presented to the Planning & Zoning Board is administrative because bonded improvements become bonded by action of the City Council based on the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Board. There- fore to remove the bonded requirement, it was felt by staff that the same procedure should be followed with a presentation to the Planning & Zoning Board to assess the need and a recom- mendation to the City Council to either keep the bridge, keep it with modifications or remove the bridge. He added that some people present may have some comments on this. Mr. Ray Johnson came before the Board and advised that he lives closest to the proposed bridge, less than 60 feet. Since the bridge would go nowhere, it would collect children. A wire fence had to be put up because of the children on the b/dge on llth Street. The children used to sit on the edge of the bridge and almost fall in and throw things in the water. This would be nothing to a bridge installed now as there are many more children. He represents several people who have signed .a petition against the building of this bridge. Mr. Michael added that this bridge as well as paving an addi- tional strip on S. W. 25th Place and drainage was included as part of the old bond. If this is adopted and approved, they would be seeking abandonment and discharge of that bond be- cause those improvements would be placed upon the other bond. Mr. Annunziato requested this to be taken care of separately. Mr. Ryder moved that this Board recommend to the City Council abandonment of the previously required bonding of this pedes- trian bridge since the concept in developing this area has been changed and a bridge is deemed no longer necessary or advisable. Mr. Winter seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 4'0. Mr. Annunziato then referred to the preliminary plat and stated this application has been before the Board in several forms as a pre-application, master plan, subdivision regula- tion and site plan. Now it is a preliminary plat and con- struction plans, subdividing the land, and development of support facilities are covered. This preliminary plat has been reviewed by the Technical Review Board and South Florida Water Management District. The Board will also have to address the issue of land value as the developer is seeking one-half -10- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 credit against the recreation commitment. The remainder of the requirement would be placed in accordance with dollars. He then pointed out the location and explained the plan. Mr. Annunziato stated this application has been reviewed by the Technical Review Board. A memo was submitted from the City Engineer listing nine items and a resubmission was made ad- dressing each and every one of them. The Public Works Depart- ment noted no underground trash containers are to be con- structed. He has commented that the bike path is to be con- crete per the master plan. The Recreation Director noted appraisal of land is required. He received a letter from Mr. Michael dated October 7 placing the value of land at approxi- mately $20,000 per acre. Two letters have been submitted since then from realtors indicating this is a reasonable land value to use for the recreation and parks dedication. The recommendation~ is to accept the land value of $20,000 per acre and use this to compute the dedication. This was also re- viewed by the South Florida Water Management District and on October 9, the developer was issued a surface water management permit. It is recommended that the preliminary plat be ap- proved subject to staff comments with the Board setting $20,000 per acre for recreation and parks dedication fee purposes. Chairman Thompson asked if Mr. Michael understood the require- ments and Mr. Michael replied affirmatively. Chairman Thompson stated in regards to $20,000 per acre, that is quite reasonable. A lot sells for that amount. This ap- pears to be a low figure. Mr. Michael advised this was based on a particular sale and one or two other sales were monitored. He feels for the cost of property with improving it, it runs considerably high. When sewer and water are available, the value does increase. He hopes $20,000 is justifiable as they feel it is and this is what they are giv- ing to the City. Mr. Ryder moved that this Board recommend approval of the pre- liminary plat of Golfview Harbour Estates, Tracts Two and Three, Third Section, which will contain 128 units on 13.655 acres, in accordance with staff comments and conditions and accept $20,000 per acre as an adequate figure for the recrea- tion facilities. Mr. Winter seconded the motion. No discus- sion. Motion carried 4-0. At this time, Chairman Thompson declared a recess and then re- convened the meeting at 8:55 P. M. -11- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Site Plan Approval Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Project Description: High Ridge Country Club (Peter Paulsen, Agent) 2400 HypoluXo Road High Ridge Country Club - Subdivision Accessory Building Mr. Grabeel informed the Board this is just a modification to the existing site plan. The clubhouse requires a sprinkler system with accessory pumps and equipment and this is a pro- posed building to house this. The building will be 11 x 17', one story, about 25 feet east of the parking lot and 150 to 200 feet north of the clubhouse. There are no staff comments and approval is recommended. Mr. Peter Pauisen came before the Board and stated he was pre- sent to answer any questions. Mr. Ryder asked if there would just be a pump and no standby and Mr. Paulsen replied this was correct. Mr. Ryder asked if there would be a separate founda- tion and Mr. Paulsen explained the pump will sit on an isolated slab. Mr. Winter made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Board approve this site plan for an accessory building at the High Ridge Country Club. Mr. Drew seconded the motion. No dis- cussion. Motion carried 4-0. Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Project Description: John Shoup 1200 South Federal Highway A portion of Lot 1, Lee Manor Isles Office Complex (Boca Raton Federal) Mr. Grabeel stated as indicated, this is an office complex consisting of one and tWo stories. There are five buildings. The easternmost building adjacent to the canal does have park- ing under it with two stories above, which is permissable in the zoning ordinance. The site is approximately 2½ acres. · Parking required is 109 spaces and proposed is 126 spaces. The recommendation is approval subject to staff comments. Mr. Paul McKinley, representing the applicant, came before the Board. Mr. Ryder referred to two means of access being shown and questioned the street by the canal and Mr. McKinley pointed out the accesses and explained how this was an addi- tional access for this proposed site. Mro Ryder questioned whether the three accesses close to each other were advisable? He referred to this being on a deadend street and stated there will be a lot of traffic movement caused. -12- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Mr. McKinley replied this access would be preferable and ex- plained if it wasn't there, cars would have to turn around to get out of the parking area. Also, it is better to have traffic exiting onto a side street rather than onto U. S. 1. Mr. Winter referred to there being a dumpster and pointed out that access was needed. Mr. Ryder stated that this additional access wouldn't be limited to a sanitation vehicle, but would provide access for everyone else. Mr. Ryder stated the dump- ster could be relocated and Mr. Winter replied that some park- ing would be lost. Mr. Ryder pointed out that more than ade- quate parking had been provided. Mr. Ryder referred to some of the neighbors being unhappy about this development and Mr. McKinley pointed out that all the contemplated construction is on the south end of the pro- perty. Mr. Ryder told about the people having concern about a shack the caretaker was living in. Mr. Ryder referred to the applicant being denied a height vari- ance by the Board of Adjustment and asked if the ground floor over the parking would be the same as the existing grade and Mr. McKinley replied affirmatively. Mr. Ryder referred to the application stating three stories and Mr. McKinley clarified that it is two stories with underground parking. Mr. Grabeel referred to the staff comments and read the memo from the Building Official noting prio~ to the issuance of building permits, the Building Department will require a copy of the Board of Health approval, Department of Transportation turn-out approval, and a copy of the storm water retainage cal- culations. The Fire Inspector noted that a centrally located fire hydrant is required and if underground parking requires a fire sprinkler system, a separate water line will be reqUired. The Director of Utilities noted that a fire hydrant will be required to be placed in the center of the parking lot with the feed o~fFederal Highway. Further, if the under building parking area is required to be sprinkled, they will be required to have a separate fire line in to take care of the sprinkler system. The decision on this will depend upon input from the Fire Marshal and Building Department. Mr. Grabeel continued that the Engineering Department commented that detailed drainage computations will be required, paving and drainage details are required including finish elevations, and a D.O.T. permit is required for turnout into U. S. 1. Mr. Grabeel continued that the Police Department requires traffic control signs. The Public Works Department indicates the location of the south dumpster is not okay. The Planning Department notes parking is to be 65' for two way 90° parking. Mr. Annunziato added that sidewalks have not been shown on Castilla Lane and will be required. Mr. ~eel stated appro- val is recommended subject to comments. -13- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 15, 1980 Mr. Winter referred to only a few handicapped parking spaces being shown for the entire complex and Mr. Annunziato informed him that at the time of permit, the developer will'have to pro- vite the proper amount. Mr. Annunziato stated he would like to address Mr. Ryder's comments regarding proposed parking in the southeast corner and stated from the circulation viewpoint,-it appears the driveway may be necessary %o accommodate the dumpster. The staff approval was based on the driveway being in this loca- tion, plus there is a fire hydrant located in this area. Possibly the center driveway could be opened into the major east/west parking bay, the fire hydran~t located in the land- scaped area and the dumpster relocated:. He thinks Mr. Ryder's comments and the comments of the staff can be accommodated with a little different look at the pa, rking and the location of the dumpster and fire hydrant. Mr. Ryder agreed and stressed that it would be confusing to haVe three driveways so Close, plus the traffic would be annoying to the residents on this street. Mr. McKinley explained that there is a drive- thru window located on this middle drive and the access is limited. He added that the bank's functions and needs would have to be considered for this'drive. After further discus- sion, Mr. McKinley advised they would take this suggestion under advisement. Chairman Thompson asked if he had any comments regarding the staff recommendations and Mr. McKinley rePlied they w~ll ac- cept the code requirements. With respect to the fire hydrants, they are prepared to install an additional one; however, there is one on the other side of Castilla Lane and one on Riviera .Drive serving the area to the southeast. Mr. Annunziato ad- vised- it was felt a hydrant should be located in the central east/west parking bay to serve both developments and the fire trucks could drive in. Mr. McKinley continued that in respect to the dumpsters, they will re-establish the location on the one as requested.

The Public Works Department noted the dumpster pads are to be concrete as opposed to asphalt. Mr. Grabeel read the memo from the Recreation Department: "Although this project is not subject to the subdivision ordinance relativ~ to recreation and open space requirements, the following considerations should be made: (1) The 37 unit multifamily complex on the west side of Seacrest Blvd. has no recreation facility provisions. The 47 unit complex on the east side of Seacrest Blvd. has a children's play area. As Seacrest Blvd. is an arterial barrier and a crossing hazard for children, a play area should be provided in the 37 unit complex as well as the 47 unit complex. (2) A quiet, passive, shaded area for residents to relax and socialize would be advantageous for both com- plexes and certainly could include semi-active facilities such as horseshoe courts, shuffleboard courts, as well as a community cookout area."
