City Planner ABSENT Wayne Drew (Excused) Chairman Thompson welcomed everyone and called the meeting to order at 7:35 P. M. He introduced the members of the Board and City Planner. He recognized the presence in the audience of Councilman Joe deLong. MINUTES OF APRIL 22, 1980 Mrs. Bond made a motion to accept the minutes of April 22, seconded by Mrs. Huckle. Motion carried 6-0. CITIZENS AWARENESS PRESENTATION Mr. Annunziato introduced Mr. Warren G. Strahm, West Palm Beach Director of the Dept. of Environmental Regulation. Mr. Strahm discussed environmental planning and its aspects to local plan- ning. He described the area covered by the local office and explained the functions and programs of the Department. A question and answer period followed with further discussion of the Department's various responsibilities. NEW BUSINESS Subdivision Pre-Applications Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Project Description: Milnor Corp. (Norm ~ichael, Pres.) The western portion of Golfview Harbour Third Section & bounded by S.W. 27th Ave. to the south, LWDD Canal ~27 to the north, Congress Avenue to the west and S.W. 14th Court to the east. Sections II & III, Golfview Harbour Third Section 73 units of one-story villas & 56 units of two-story townhouses, total 129 units on 13.655 acres MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mr. Annunziato referred to submitting a copy of Mr. Michael's pre-application letter which describes the plans for these two tracts of land and advised these are the last two vacant tracts remaining on Congress Avenue south of the canal. The plan pro- vides for subdividing the acreage into 29 blocks, 13 which will be villa blocks. It is the developer's intention to sell these units in a fee simple manner with the remaining property to be owned by the homeowners' association. He then explained the location. Mr. Norman Michael, Milnor Corporation, informed the Board this is the contiguous section to the first section which was developed with 72 units. The townhouses, which are to the north of these tracts, are identi~l to the townhouses built in Section 1. The one story villas are similar to those built on 14th Court and 28th Avenue. This is just an extension of what was built in the past to complete this portion of the development. Mr. Ryder questioned Who was entitled to use the present club- house and Mr. Michael informed him this was for the single family homeowners. Mr. Ryder asked if anything else was con- templated in this area and Mr. Michael replied negatively. Mr. Ryder questioned what was provided in Section 1 and Mr. Michael replied there is a swimming pool and open recreation space. He added that they have found in Section 1 that the pool was not really an item that they have taken to as previ- ously thought. At present, they think the trend is to hold down the maintenance cost as low as possible. With the high interest rates and the fact there are increased construction costs, people are not interested in having more recreation than they can possibly maintain. Mr. Ryder referred to need- ing recreational areas for the children and Mr. Michael pointed out that a play field was designated. He explained how the trend was for smaller families to be living in the townhouses. Mr. Ryder asked if the two main thoroughfares would be City dedicated streets and Mr. Michael replied affirmatively. Mr. DiSalle asked if both recreation areas would be made avail- able to all the residents and Mr. Michael explained the owners in these two sections would own these recreation areas. He also explained that the villas and townhouses would fall under one common homeowners' association. Mr. Annunziato clarified that all the units on these two tracts will be sold fee simple. The units south of 25th Place will be one-story villas and the units north of 25th Place will be two-story townhouses. All the owners will be members of the homeowners' association and be responsible for the common and recreational areas. -2- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mrs. Bond asked if the recreation area is just going to be grassed and Mr. Michael explained the idea is to provide the space and as construction progresses and sales go forward, he will allow the homeowners themselves to decide how to treat it. Mr. Annunziato added that as part of the subdivision require- ments, Mr. Michael is required, if he wants to receive half credit, to provide five of the seven recreation amenities on site. The facilities will be constructed by Mr. Michael as part of the bonded improvements. Mr. Annunziato informed the Board this pre-application was reviewed by the Technical Review Board and no comments were forthcoming. The recommendation is it be approved as sub- mitted. Mr. DiSalle made a motion that the subdivision pre-application for Milnor Corporation be approved, the western portion of Golfview Harbour Thi~ Section bounded by S. W. 27th Avenue to the south, L.W.D.D. Canal ~27 to the north, Congress Avenue to the west and S. W. 14th Court to the east, Sections II and III. Mr. Winter seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 6-0. Applicant: Location: Project Description: Boynton Beach Industrial Park North John Ewseychik, Agent At northern terminus of West Industrial Ave. Industrial Plat (M-1 Zone) Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that this is an industrial plat located at the end of West Industrial Avenue which will be extended and result in a cul-de-sac. The subdivision pro- vides for 14 industrial lots which may be combined. The lots are approximately 105' wide, but the north lot is 327' wide and 650' in depth. Utilities are available. He pointed out the location of the water line and existing lift station. The developer will be responsible for extending the sewer and water lines to this site to serve the development. He submitted the engineer's and planner's statements and location map. Mr. John Ewseychik, representing Boynton Beach Industrial Park North, informed the Board that a common drainage easement will be placed along the 60' right-of-way. There will be a 6' high masonry wall along the west border which will be maintained by the property owners' association, in addition to landscaping to shield the neighborhood to the west. They will meet all the requirements of the City and the South Florida Water Manage- ment District. Mrs. Huckle questioned what was located to the west of the proposed wall and Mr. Ewseychik informed her there is a resi- dential development. MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mrs. Bond questioned wh~ type of industry would be in this park and Mr. Ewseychik replied it would be basically light industry. Mr. Annunziato advised the staff has reviewed this pre-applica- tion. He has commented the lots should be platted to the right- of-way, since the lots as shown terminate at the drainage ease- ment. Mr. Ewseychik explained that this would be done. Mr. Annunziato continued that his second comment was to h~a wall in lieu of a fence consistent with the direction of the code. Also, the Recreation Director has expressed concern with main- tenance in the public right-of-way. It is suggested the deve- loper submit a landscape plan to the City for the right-of-way and the plan be coordinated with the Urban Forester. He ex- plained how maintenance was a prime consideration. Mr. Ewseychik responded that he agrees with these comments. Chairman Thompson asked if the cul-de-sac would be the standard size and Mr. Ewseychik replied that they didn't see the cul-de- sac being that functional. It will merely be an entry point to the last remaining parcel. It does meet the standard City requirements. Mr. Ryder moved that this Board approve the pre-application with regard to the Boynton Beach Industrial Park North at the north terminus of West Industrial Avenue, which is zoned M-l, and subject approval to include staff comments. Mrs. Bond seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 6-0. Preliminary Plat Applicant: Location: Project Description: Quail Lake (Dan Shalloway, Agent) Congress Avenue (Part of the Kirsner/Cogen PUD) 11.95 acres Mr. Annunziato informed the Board this preliminary plat re- presents the first residential plat for the Kirsner/Cogen PUD. He explained the location. The plat provides for the existing utility easements along Congress Avenue. The plat dedicates right-of-way to the County for Congress Avenue and Golf Road and provides for a maintenance easement along the canal. The number of units approved by the master plan was 135 units. Also provided is a limited access limiting egress and ingress to the site from Co'ngress Avenue. This is a boundary plat with no internal improvements shown. At the time the plat is developed for residential purposes, then it will be replatted. The utilities to be provided are primar- ily existing. What is required are several taps off the existing 16" water main on Congress Avenue and an additional tap on the south side of Golf Road and crossing Golf Road and terminating. Also, the extension' of the gravity sewer into the tract. After the applicant's presentation, there are several issues to be discussed. -4- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mr. Ryder asked if the 20' utility easement is in line with the interceptor sewer~to the new plant and Mr. Annunziato replied this is the existing easement which was secured prior to the platting of this property. Mr. Ryder referred to it not being in the street right-of-way and Mr. Annunziato explained how it was preferable not to have the easements in County right-of-way. Mr. Winter questioned the size of the property and Mr. Annunziato informed him it is 11.95 acres. Mr. Winter questioned the den- sity per acre and Mr. Annunziato replied it is around 15 and explained that the overall density was 4.5 units per acre which was calculated over the lake. He explained the master plan as approved. Mrs. Huckle questioned the height of the buildings and Mr. Annunziato replied it would be three stories. Mr. Dan Shalloway referred to this being approved as a PUD about two years ago and explained the logic was to have the high density areas along Congress Avenue. This is just a boundary plat. Thig parcel is being split because of owner- ship reasons. He explained how Woolbright Plaza was done in the same manner. He referred to the improvements to be pro- vided and advised after the property has water, sewer and fill, a replat will be submitted. He pointed out this parcel in the overall master plan. Mr. Annunziato referred to the staff comments and read Mr. Clark's comments as follows: This plat is platted as a boundary plat only and this ~ould be noted along with the fact that it is part of the approved master plan for the Kirsner-Cogen property. The fact that a replat of this plat will be necessary prior to construction should also be indicated. Plat should be further identified as Plat No. 1 of Quail Lake. To a depth of four feet below the controlled water elevation, the slope of the lake bank should not be steeper than one on six. The performance bond for the plat must include the costs for restoring property due to lake excavation in the event damage causing a nuisance requires action by the City. A cost estimate for the utilities included with this plat must be submitted. A Water Management District construction permit will be required for each plat including the subject boun- dary plat. -5- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mr. Annunziato referred to his comments and stated no clear statement is made for the use and maintenance of the lake. He suggests that the easement referenced on the plat be pro- vided for City review. The applicant is suggesting a water management tract be recorded ~s an easement. We would like to review that to be sure the maintenance is vested with the pro- perty. Also, the reference to 135 units on page 2 of the plat should be removed and the optimum depth of this lake has been reported to be approximately 40 feet. This should be reviewed with the appropriate environmental agencies for confirmation. Following this memo, he did attempt to evaluate why the lake has to have 40 feet of water. If the lake needs to be con- structed as part of the improvements, then there is no need for a Chapter 10 permit. With this request, the applicant needs to dredge out of the lake 90,000 cubic yards of sand to fill to elevation. Also shown is a request to excavate an additional 50,000 cubic yards to be sold off-site, which would result in the lake being 38 to 40 feet deep. They attempted to determine if it was necessary to dig the lake to 40 feet, but have been unable to tie this into the required plat improvement. It is his viewpoint that the 50,000 cubic yards of excess fill to be sold off'site becomes a commercial operation. It becomes a mining opera%ion. Mr. Annunziato then read his memo to the Board dated 5/7/80: "This memorandum is to further clarify the issue of the depth of the proposed lake to be redeveloped as a part of the Quail Lake Preliminary Plat. Proposed as a part of the plat improvements is a request to remove from the site 50,000 cubic yards of sand. This will result+in a lake depth of approximately 40 feet at a distance of 130_ feet from the redefined shoreline. It has been our policy to exempt from Chapter 10 Excavations of the City Code the dredging of l~kes when this core, ruction was a part of the required plat improvements. However, no conclusive evidence has been presented which required the lake to be dredged.to a depth of 40 feet resulting in the availability for sale off- site 50,000 cubic yards of sand other than financial. Had there been a plat improvement necessity to dig the lake to 40 feet such as water retention or fill requirements, then the excavation and sale may have been exempted from Chapter 10. Briefly, because the excessive excavation is not required to develop this plat, it becomes in ~ct a commercial mining operation. The dredging of fill necessary to raise the site to elevation 13 (90,000 cy) is recommended as part of the re- quired plat improvements, but the issue of conducting a com- mercial mining operation should be subject to Chapter 10 of the Code and may be inconsistent with the zoning." -6- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mr. Annunziato stated the recommendation is this plat be approved without the necessity to dig the additional 50,000 cubic yards and let that be addressed as an excavation issue subject to Chapter 10. Mr. DiSalle asked if the 50,000 cubic yards were not excavated, what would the depth of the lake be and Mr. Shalloway replied about 25 feet. Chairman Thompson asked what Chapter 10 involved and Mr. Annunziato explained that a permit was required for excava- tion, filing of a performance bond and addressing the issues of a commercial mining operation. Mrs. Huckle questioned the developer's purpose for this and Mr. Shalloway replied there, is no overwhelming thing saying a lake has to be 40 feet deep. A lake should be at least 10 to 15 feet deep minimum or there will be problems with aqua- tic weed growth. He explained how there was a question what the maximum depth should be, but 40 feet is a good average depth. Mr. Charles Rowan, the contractor,came before the Board and referred to excavating lakes at Cranbrook Lakes and Woolbright Plaza and explained that a depth of 25 to 50 feet was the opti- mum for clear water and a good lake. This particular parcel is very large and the lake excavation is probably one of the major costs. Cranbrook Lakes was approved with the lake at 50 feet and fill was removed and it was economically feasible. The more water in a lake, the less chance of it becoming polluted. This site will also take a tremendous amount of fill. All they are requesting is the plats be approved and they be al- lowed to go to this depth to make it a viable project. This same thing was approved for the other developers. Mr. Ryder referred to it being questioned during the original review, why such a large lake was needed in comparison to the buildable area and presumably what they had in mind was the matter of excavation for fill. Mr. Rowan explained that the lake was actually larger than shown and would have to be back- filled. Mr. Ryder clarified that with filling in the elevation, there we~ still 50,000 cubic yards in excess anticipated and Mr. Rowan agreed that there is on this one plat, but the total site will take a large amount. He explained further the benefits to have a lake with this depth, discourages aquatic weed growth, less contamination, better retention, decrease runoff, etc. Mr. Shalloway further explained how this dredg- ing would make this project viable. -7- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mrs. Bond referred to the question of such a deep lake in a family area and Mr. Shalloway explained how the slopes would be gradual. Mr. Shatloway stated they agree with the other five items listed by Mr. Annunziato and the ones listed by Mr. Clark. They request the performance bond on the fill be specified and a slope bond to fix the lake properly. Mr. Ryder referred to maintenance and Mr. Shalloway advised that Mr. Vance has a copy of the homeowners' agreement and they will pay their share of maintenance for the easement also. Mr. Annunziato clarified the issue is whether or not excavat- ing the additional 50,000 cubic yards and to permit additional excavating on subsequent plats. When the Other areas were developed, it was not within a residential area. The muck removal from Cranbrook Lakes was considered site improvement in order to build. If there was an error on the other plats, it was because of lack of information addressing the issue. The issue was not addressed with Cranbrook Lakes and Woolbright Plaza. The issue is clear. He talked to people with the Water Management District and D.E.R. and they can find no compelling reason for the lake to be dug to 40 feet. The master plan was approved without this being contemplated as being a mining operation. Mr. Rowan explained their intentions to develop this property. It is very vital to be allowed to do this. It has to be an economically viable project to work. Mr. Annunziato replied that if it is a vital part of the project, then it should be according to code with inspections, etc. Mrs. Huckle asked if this 50,000 cubic yards .was needed for this plat and Mr. Rowan replied negatively and explained it would be excess. He explained how there would be excess with each portion of the lake. Mr. Shalloway added that it would be an approximate two to one ratio with two for fill and one for somebody else. There is also the possibility of running into more muck and needing more sand on the site. Mr. Annunziato referred to one of the issues of the master plan being the size of the lake and being told it was impractical to create more land, but we now find out there will be excess fill. Mr. Shalloway explained how there were deep holes exist- ing in the lake which would be economically impossible to fill. -8- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mrs. Huckle asked what maximum depth the City recommended and Mr. Annunziato replied we have not arrived at a maximum depth, but if the developer is permitted to dredge enough fill to fill the site to elevation 13, it would be approximately 25 feet deep. However, in another area, they may have to dig the lake to 40 feet to meet the required elevation. Mrs. Huckle clarified that if this required compliance with Chapter 10, there may be a problem with the zoning and Mr. Shalloway agreed and stated they are anxious to avoid this as it may require a variance in the zoning. He stressed that this is a reasonable way for developing the property and explained how selling various things from the land were a normal part of the development process. Mr. Annunziato added that this issue has not been totally researched and it is possible it could be reviewed as temporary use of the land. He agrees with the applicant, this may be necessary for land development, but a precedent may be set. He believes it is purely economics to go to this depth. They are developing a plat to elevation 13, which requires digging of the lake to 25 feet in depth. He doesn't think it is impossible to live with the depth of 25 feet; however, there are other benefits to the developer to go to 40 feet and possibly to the purchasers. Mr. DiSalle agreed that he has not been convinced that it is not a mining operation. Mr. Ryder referred to doing a lot of mining, which could delay subsequent development and Mr. Rowan disagreed and explained how this fill could speed up construction in areas where it is needed. He told about new developments in need of fill and explained this has been the normal practice in the past. Mrs. Huckle asked if there could be some kind of individual bonding agreement to protect the City and make it economically more feasible for the developer and Mr. Annunziato replied that he believes Chapter 10 would take care of this. Mrs. Huckle asked what the pitfalls were for a developer to come in under Chapter 10 and Mr. Rowan replied if the City approves it, there is no pitfall; but it is his experience that the City does not have an allowance for this type zoning and if re- quested, it would be denied. Mrs. Huckle asked what he would do then and Mr. Rowan replied that he would just sit and try to sell the property., Mrs. Huckle asked if he did not find it economically possible to come within the confines of the excava- tion suggested and Mr. Rowan replied that ten developers have tried and it did not work economically. Mr. Annunziato stated the only undefined issue of Chapter 10 would be on the land use. They have not totally researched the issue of permitted and non-permitted use, but obviously mining wouldn't be permitted in a residential zone, but may be allowed temporarily. Other than the land use issue, there is nothing insurmountable in Chapter 10. -9- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD ~AY 13, 1980 Mr. Rowan stated they would be glad to go along with a time frame acceptable to the City to complete each portion. It is not their intention to have a mining project for five years. They will submit to a limited time frame. Mr. Ryder referred to the sloping grade of the lake and Mr, Rowan agreed it should be uniform and equal. Mr, Shalloway showed a drawing noting the existing deep holes. Mr. Ryder commented that according to this drawing, there was not a predominance of deep water. Chairman Thompson asked if the City verifies these depths and Mr. Rowan replied that they have not in the past, but have relied on his information. After further discussion, Mr. Annunziato recommended this plat be approved subject to staff comments and any excava- tion of selling off fill be subject to Chapter 10. Mr. Ryder moved to recommend approval of this preliminary plat for Quail Lake on Congress Avenue at Golf Road in accordance with the staff recommendations and resolution of the matter of excess excavation material to be subject to Chapter 10 of the code. Mr. Winker seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mrs. Huckle asked if there was room for any kind of negotiation process under Chapter 10 and Mr. Annunziato replied affirma- tively and explained the applicant must secure a permit and post bond, but we can talk about placing conditions on the activity. We must be concerned about blowing dust, traffic~ access, noise~ etc. Motion carried 6-0. Site Plan Approval Applicant: Location: Legal Description: Project Description: Milnor Corp. (Norm Michael, President) Western portion of Golfview Harbour Third Section & bounded by S.W. 27th Avenue to the south, LWDD Canal ~27 to the north, Congress Avenue to the west and S.W. 14th Court to the east Sections II & III, Golfview Harbour Third Section 129 units on 13.655 acres Mr. Grabeel showed the site plan. He explained the location and advised there will be 73 one story townhouses and 14 two-story four-plexes. This equals an overall total of 129 units on 13.655 acres. The recreation areas are approximately one-half acre each. The parking requirements have been met. Mr. Grabeel referred to the staff comments and read the Building Official noted before any building permits are issued, he will require a copy of the Water Management permit. -10- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mr. Michael referred to a problem with the bicycle path cross- ing the canal and Mr. Annunziato replied that the bridge cross- ing issue is continuously faced particularly on Congress Avenue. He explained that the County has been requested to do this con- struction and there should be a bicycle path to the 55 acre recreation site. Mrs. Bond referred to street lights and Mr. Michael explained there would be lamp posts with electric eyes and Florida Power & Light Co. has provided street lights along Congress Avenue and 27th Avenue. Mr. Ryder referred to the other staff comments and Mr. Michael replied there would be no problem. Chairman Thompson referred to the bridge mentioned and Mr. Michael explained this was or%ginally planned fDr residents to walk across to the commercial area. He explained it would not be necessary at this time. He also explained how the plans for the water line had been changed. They request deletion of the bridge. Mrs. Huckle asked if there were any immediate plans for Section 4 and Mr. Michael replied nega- tively. Mr. DiSalle made a motion to approve the site p Corporation, the western portion of Golfview Ha Section, subject to staff comments. Mr. Winter motion. Under discussion, Mr. Annunziato asked understanding the applicant will meet with Mr. the cross sections for the bike path and Mr. Di affirmatively. Mr. Ryder clarified this matter ferred to the City Engineer to make final resol bicycle path and sidewalk. Motion carried 6-0 Applicant: Southern Sheet Metal Corp. Sam Phelps, Agent Location: 1381 Neptune Drive Project Description: Light Metal Fabrication & W~rehouse Mr. Grabeel stated this is a site plan for the Southern Sheet Metal Corporation and he explained the location. A 12,250 sq. ft, building is planned and it will be one story with the exception of the office area which will be two stories. 21 parking spaces are required and provided. The utilities will be provided from Neptune Drive. lan for Milnor rbour Third seconded the if it was the Clark to design Salle replied will be re- ution of the Mr. Grabeel referred to %he staff comments and read the follow- ing comments listed by the Building Official: -13- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MAY 13, 1980 Mr. Grabeel read the Fire Marshal noted the fire hydrant in- stallation shall conform with Subdivision Reg. 77-36. Fire hydrants shall be spaced no greater than 300 feet apart and the remotest part of any structure shall not be more than 200 feet from the hydrant and shall be connected to mains no less than 6" in diameter. These measurements shall be roadway measure- ments. The City Engineer listed the following comments: Sidewalks should provide a connection with pavement at intersections. Consideration should be made for an 8 ft. bicycle path along Congress Avenue (connecting with pavement at street crossings). Water Management approval will be required for drainage in addition to City requirements. If the bridge is not to be constructed, a request for the deletion of this requirement should be initiated by the developer. Mr. Grabeel continued that the Director of U~ilities noted: The developer will be required to expose the existing lines at both ends to determine if they are still donnected to the main feed lines, and if not connected, they must be connected. In either case, whether connected or not, these lines have been lying dormant for a long time and must be flushed, re-chlorinated and re-sampled bacteriologically for clearance. The existing 4" line which 'is to be abandoned must be disconnected from its source, the T and valve removed, and the source line properly piped in. The line going to Congress Avenue must be connected at both the 8" line on the east side of Congress Avenue and the 16" line on the west side of Congress Avenue. The developer must show on the plans at each manhole where the limits of the City responsibility must be, and this information must be shown on the "as built" plans. The Public Works Superintendent noted that underground cans will not be picked up by the garbage men. Cans must be above ground for pickup. The Recreation & Park Director listed the following comments: Recommend a more detailed design plan for the recrea- tion areas be provided illustrating the location and type of equipment to be installed (i.e. picnic tables, grill, benches, playground equipment). Recommend a landscaping plan be provided for the re- creation areas depicting shade trees for the picnic and quiet areas and buffering landscaping to separate active play areas from quiet areas. -11- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD ~AY 13, 1980 3. The recreation areas should be designed with a sprink- ler system to ensure proper landscape and turf mainte- nance. 4. Based on the subdivision regulations, 1.935 acres of public dedication is required. 129 units x .015 ac/unit = 1.935 acres Upon provisions of items 1, 2 and 3 above, recommend one-half credit be allowed for private recreation areas provided. Thus, .967 acres be provided by fee in lieu of land according to regulation requirements. 5. In reference to the median on S. W. 25th Place, recom- mend the landscaping plan provide a sprinkler system and ground cover (turf), as well as the trees which are illustrated.

Mr. Ryder commented that 4' is nar~'ow and Mr. Michael responded that he has not seen anything ].arger than 4' in the City. Mr. Annunziato informed him there will be a 6' bike path along Seacrest Blvd. Mr. Ryder added tha~. to the north of this area along Congress Avenue, it is abol[t 6' wide black top. Mr. Michael stated that he ob- jects to ~lack top. He explained that he plans to sod and ~ landscape along the wall, but with having an ~8' wide path, it would appear to be a second road. Mr. Ryder' suggested that possibly 6' would be more practical. Mr. Annunziato suggested that this technical aspect could be subject to the engineer's approval. -12- MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONI'NG BOARD MAY 13, 1980 1. Sign subject to Sign Ordinance. 2. Furnish paving and drainage calculations showing re- tainage of first 3" of runoff. 3. Building plans subject to Standard Building Codes and Palm Beach County wide addendums. 4. Require sealed drawings when submitting for permit by registered architect or engineer. Mr. Grabeel read that the Fire Marshal noted the fire hydrant is to be installed no less than 200 feet from structure, so as to confrom with Subdivision Regulations Ordinance #7036, Sec- tion XVI "Fire Hydrants B" The City Engineer noted details are required to show how drainage works, i.e. where does the water go and calculations are required to be by a registered engineer to show that three inches of water can be retained on the site, i.e., the first hour of a three year storm. The Director of Utilities noted water and sewer are available; however, there are not stub-outs on the sewer line. The cut into the gravity sewer line must be made by the owner under Utility Dept. supervision. The Police Department has noted subject to lights on the entrance way and garage door areas. The Public Works Department has noted that no parking is al- lowed east of the dumpster. The City Planner has noted to provide a turn-around at the north end of the driveway and parking should be relocated to the rear 9f the building away from the garage doors. It is felt parking along the east park- ing line will interfere with trucks[ The recommendation is approval subject to comments. Mrs. Huckle questioned the use of the large vacant area and Mr. Phelps informed her that it is undeveloped, but will be graded off. Mr. Phelps stated he was told the fire hydrant distance was 300 feet and questioned where the 200 feet had come from and Mr. Annunziato informed him the location is measured from the building. Mr. DiSalle asked if all 21 parking spaces were located to the south and Mr. Phelps replied negatively and explained that six parallel spaces were shown on the side, but a turn-around was left for trucks at the end. If feasible, he could put 30 degree angle parking on the east side. After discussion about the parking, Mr. Phelps asked if the spaces could be located against the building with leaving the doors clear and Mr. Annunziato agreed this may be possible.
