ANNOUNCEMENTS
Chairman Ryder announced he would take this interval to report
on the action taken by the City Council at their meeting last
week pertaining to matters referred to them by this Board. The
P.I.D. rezoning application for the area between 15th and 23rd
Avenues and between the E-4 Canal and the railroad was approved
by the Council 5-0. At the same time, an ordinance was passed
on first reading for this application.
Chairman Ryder referred to the second reading of ordinances and
advised the Council approved the ordinance for both phases of
the Boynton Lakes deve~gument. The Council also approved both
phases of the Meadows application. Mr. Arena asked if the den-
sity on this property was lowered and Chairman Ryder replied
affirmatively from about 4.75 to 4.5. He added that he did
inquire about this and was told it did not have to come back to
this Board with just the density being reduced. The Council was
satisfied with the changes made by the applicant with 23 acres
being assigned to single family homes.
Mr. Annunziato referred to distributing additional ordinance
changes and advised that these pages should replace the like
pages in the zoning book. These apply to the changes made in
the buffer wall ordinance.

Acreage
Planned Residential Community
Rezone from Agricultural to PUD (LUI of 4.1)
Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that this property and the pro-
perty to the south were annexed into the City in the Spring of
1976. Some hearings were held on the ordinance for annexation,
but hearings were not held for rezoning. The request is to rezone
to a PUD with a LUI of 4.1 with a gross density of 6 units per
acted The concept plan recommends a moderate density zoning of a
maximum of 7.1 units per acre. This plan has been presented to
the usual government agencies and responses have been received.
In addition, input has been received from several staff members
and the City Attorney. He will reserve comment until after pre-
sentation by the applicant.
Mr. Harry Kirsner, 905 Ainsley Building, Miami, Florida, appeared
before the Board and introduced the Engineer, Land Planners, and
Traffic Engineer. He referred to this parcel having some inherent
problems and stated the main problem was a bed of muck which had
to be de-mucked leaving a 45 acre lake. He then introduced Mr.
Taft Bradshaw, Land Plan~er.
Mr. Taft Bradshaw, 4337 Seagrape Drive, Lauderdale by the Sea,
Florida, appeared before the Board and showed a plan of the pro-
posed land use. He identified the physical boundaries of the
property. He stated the whole concept of this plan was to stay
within the proposed recommended maximum density plan. The den-
sity of this project was based on gross acreage and comes out to
6 units per acre using three types of land uses and he explained.
He also pointed out the individual recreational areas. He added
that the property to the south of Woolbright Road is the civic
property and is reserved for the future water tank area. In
the projected plan, there will be 35 acres o~ water area.
Mr. Bradshaw then showed a concept plan of the garden apartment
units with a maximum of four stories. He explained how they
felt this would establish a good buffer. He added that the
apartment areas tabulated to 20 units per acre with reducing
back down to 6 units per acre on the total PUD. He explained
the distribution of the densities and characteristics of the
plan. He added that the total amount of open space including
water, buffer, lakes~ common grounds: etc. is approximately
59+%. It is an open space plan and the densities are compati-
ble to the adjacent properties. The higher density area would
be self-contained located within the project.

Chairman Ryder asked if the townhouses would be in clusters or
continuous rows and Mr. Bradshaw explained that they would have
common walls and be continuous and could be one and two stories.
Chairman Ryder referred to the villas and Mr. Bradshaw replied
they would primarily be one sto~y structures. Chairman Ryder
asked if they would have common walls and Mr. Bradshaw replied
not necessarily and added that they have made the lots extremely
d~ep to allow flexibility to detach some. Chairman Ryder ques-
tioned the minimum distance between structures including the
apartment buildings and Mr. Bradshaw replied that the minimum
would be 40 ft. between the apartment buildings and would meet
the code requirements for the villas which he believes require
10 feet between the villas. Mr. Annunziato clarified that on a
PUD, the only place where setbacks have been set is on the public
streets. He thinks the disposition of setbacks for the various
type units should be discussed here and entered into the record.
Chairman Ryder clarified that we !do not have specific setback
requirements for a PUD.
Mr. Kirsner informed the Board that their plans were to model the
villas after the Thunderbird models in Coral Springs which are
detached. These will be fronting on the Quail Ridge Golf Course
and they would be very high priced. Col. Trauger asked if the
villas and detached houses would be in the same price category
as the Thunderbird models and Mr. Kirsner replied affirmatively.
Chairman Ryder referred to this project being somewhat unique
with about 1/3 being water which results iS diminishing the land
for the building of units. It has been mentioned that the gross
density will be 6, but the actual net is almost twice the 6.
Mr. Kirsner replied that the lake is much bigger than shown on
the plan. Mr. Jameson questioned the overall acreage and Mr.
Kirsner informed him that it is 105 acres. Mr. Arena clarified
there would be 35 acres for the lake and 24 acres open space.
Mr. Charlie Putman with the firm of Walter Taft Bradshaw & Asso-
ciates appeared before the Board and clarified the 59% alluded
to is much less than the actual open space. The areas on this
plan which have been dedicated for public use such as road rights-
of-way constitute 56% of the entire site with including the water
tower site, lake, parks, etc. However, the actual open space when
measuring the ~reen between the buildings would be much higher
than 56%. They are actually giving up 56% of the property and
asking for a higher intensity use for the remaining 44%. Mr.
Arena clarified that they were talking about putting 640 units
on 46 acres of land which seems like an extremely tight situa-
tion.
Chairman Ryder referred to reviewing several PUDs along Congress
Avenue and read the figures approved for each~project. He clari-
fied that this application presents an entirely different picture.
-3-
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
OCTOBER 24, 1978
Chairman Ryder continued that this plan has 106 acres with a gross
density of 6 units per acre, but the net density varies with the
type of construction. With the villas, the net density will be
5.2~ with the apartments, the net density will be 20~ and with
the townhouses, the net density will be 12. The average net den-
sity is 12. We are talking about something which is very much
different than what we have. We are talking about something
which doubles the density compared to the other PUDs in the
area.
Mr. B~adshaw stated thatwith the existing physical characteris-
tics of this property with the large lake to work around, the
economics dictated the density. Twelve is the right density and
the maximum allowed for four story apartments. This density of
12 will be located within the project. As far as fitting into
the total master plan for the City, ~hey are within what is pro-
~ected on the gross basis. He trunks the plan makes good use of
the property. Since the large lake is being kept, the density
on the net basis is a fair approach to the property, in the
other PUDs approved, they were mostly land with more flexibility.
Almost 40% of this site is in water and it will be a water oriented
community. The densities p~ojected in the apartment areas pro-
bably will-not be any greater than other PUDs, but they have more
land to work with.
Mr. Lambert referred to the apartment area appearing to be com-
pletely detached from the rest of the project and Mr. Bradshaw
pointed out the access points to Congress Avenue and Golf Road.
Mr. Lambert referred to it almost being two plans and stated
that the corner with the apartments has tremendous density. He
referred to the use of the recreation areas and Mr. Bradshaw
replied that there would be physical connection to get to the
recreation areas. Mr. Kirsner added that all the residents will
be able to use the lake also. It was tough property to plan
and he thinks Walter Taft Bradshaw & Associates have done the
best job. Atso~ Woolbright Road is 7% acres of property which
they will construct and dedicate to the City~ plus donating the
water tower site and park site.
Mr. Lambert referred to the land being contiguous and Mr. Annun-
ziato replied that the way this PUD is presented, it does not
violate the concept of a PUD. A PUD is to be developed under
unified control. This out parcel is connected by a body of
water and does not violate the PUD concept. The one parcel
could not stand alone. Mr. Lambert clarified that it is all
under unified control and Mr. Kirsner replied affirmatively.
Mrs. Huck!e read the applicable ordinance section and clarified
that the use and intent should be related. She referred to an
elbow of water making a separation and Mr. Bradshaw explained
that this separated the unit types. He added that there is a
connecting pedestrian walk system.
MINUTES - PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 24, 1978
Mr. Lambert asked if the recreation area is proportionately covered
and Mr. B~adshaw replied affirmatively, it is prorated equally all
the way across. Mrs. Huckle referred to the anticipated uses for
the lake and Mr. Kirsner told about plans to allow sail boats and
canoes and a slope will be put in so there will be a beach front.
Mr. Lambert asked if it connected to another body of water and
Mr. Kirsner explained that there would be a connector for drainage,
but there would not be physical access. The Engineer further ex-
plained how the lake had been incorporated into the overall drain-
age system. Col. Trauger asked how the lake would be kept from
stagnating and the Engineer replied that it contained a tremendous
amount of water and will be approximately 40 feet deep and ex-
plained how the lake could be flushed or used for water storage.
Mr. Bradshaw then concluded his presentation with the statement
that he would be happy to answer any questions and he thinks this
plan is compatible with the gross land use projected for the City.
Mr. Joseph Rice, 1800 Coral Way, Miami, appeared before the Board
and advised that he is the Traffic Engineer for this project. He
explained the traffic analysis performed and advised that they have
met with the Countyand City staff. He explained the various im-
provements recommended by the memo of understanding submitted by
the County Engineer.
Chairman Ryder questioned the treatment of Congress Avenue until
it is widened and Mr. Rice replied that deceleration lanes would
be necessary at major access points. Chairman Ryder asked if the
entrance on Golf Road would relate to the entrance to Cranbrook
Lakes and Mr. Kirsner replied negatively. Mr. Annunziato added
that the entrance from Golf Road is new as of tonight and the
staff will reserve comment.
Chairman Ryder ascertained that nobody else wished to speak on the
presentation and requested input from the City Planner.
Mr. Annunziato referred to requesting comments from the various
departments and read Mr. Howell~s comments in response to his memo
dated September 14. The density was questioned. The lot sizes
were questioned and in the review by the Technical Review Board,
the lot sizes were not cleared up nor the type of units which
would be built. It is noted that R-3 setbacks should be required
for the multi-family units. The placement of off-street parking
is questioned. The staff requested a site plan be submitted for
the garden apartments which has been prepared now, but has not
been reviewed by the staff. It is questioned whether D.E.R. has
to be contacted in regards to dredging the lake. The size of the
cul-de-sacs is questioned. It is noted the flood level would be
13 feet.

OCTOBER 247 1978
Mr. Lambert questioned how the Boamd could approve something not
reviewed by the staff and Mm. Annunziato replied that the site plan
submitted tonight was the one in question. Mr. Lambert clarified
that the staff has not reviewed the four story building plan and
Mr. Annunziato replied affirmatively. Mr. Kirsner informed them
that the apartment layout is a conceptual layout and is not a
requirement of the PUD application. Once the property is zoned,
then the architectural information w/ll be submitted. Mr.
Annunziato agreed that it would be a supplemental submission.
Mr. Annunziato clarified that some of the questions noted by Mr.
Howell could not be discussed until plans are submitted with unit
types. He explained further how the various items questioned
would be covered by the plan submittal.
Mr. Annunziato then read Mr. Clark's attached memorandum dated
September ~22 Mr. Lambert referred to the electrical distribu-
tion being underground because of the developer's choice and
Mr. Annunziato replied negatively and advised that the subdivi-
sion regulations require it.
Mr. Lambert referred to Mr. Clark's notes also applying to site
plans and Mr. Annunziato clarified that these are recommendations
to the developer so there is no question in the future.
Mr. Lambert asked if there were any comments from the applicant
and Mr. Kirsner replied that they met with the Technical Review
Board and worked out most of the problems since then.
Mr. Annunziato then read Mr. Moore's response indicating that the
restrictions look okay~ but he needs a copy of the charter of the
non-profit corporation for association.
Mr. Annunziato then read Mr. Prederick's attached memorandum
dated October 23. Mr. Kirsner stated that it was their under-
standing that this donation is not needed until platting and
they felt they would leave it up to the City Council regarding
the acre given to the City for the water tower. They also gave
an easement along Congress Avenue for underground utilities.
They feel they should get some credit for the one acre for the
water tower. This is not a requirement of the zoning and they
would like to discuss it ~urther with the City Council. There
is also the possibility that a water tower may not need one
acre and the remainder of the land could be used for recreation.
They will meet the requirements to the satisfaction of the City
Council. Mr. Lambert informed him that the City Council looks
to this Board to make a recommendation. Mr. Kirsner then ex-
plained that there would be a problem with giving more acreage
as they did not want public acreage on the lake. They want the
lake area to be private for maintenance purposes. He then asked
if the Board felt they were entitled to some credit for the water
tower site and Mm. Winter replied that the acre was agreed upon
in the original presentation. Mr. Lambert added that the area
-6-

OCTOBER 24, 1978
would still be deficient even with this acre. Mr. Arena clarified
that if the plan does not meet the recreation requirements, it does
not meet the code. He does not see how we can discuss that one
acre for the water tower. Mr. Kirsner stated that if they could
not-reach agreement, they will make a monetary donation equal to
the acreage due.
Chairman Ryder referred to alternatives being noted and stated
this could be resolved at a later date. Mr. Lambert stated that
it must be determined now. Mr. Arena agreed that the developer
should indicate which way he is going. Mr. Kirsner stated that
it must be dedi~ted atplatting. If they cannot reach anagree-
ment with the City Council, they will pay a dollar amount. The
water tower site must be discussed further. They are building
Woolbright Road and giving land on this ~a~jor road. It is pain-
fml to have to donate the 7½ acres for Woolbright Road, pave the
road and then not have frontage on the ~oad to use it. There is
also the other problem of the large lake. They think they should
receive some credit for the water tank.
Mr. Annunziato s~ated that he thinks the master plan has to stand
on its own. This is zoning and master plan approval. ~The plat
has to provide exactly what was approved in the master plan.
Some decision should be determined tonight or the master plan
does not stand.
Mr. Lambert referred to the concern of using this onee acre for
a water tower and questioned when this was decided and Mr. Annun-
ziato replied that this has been noted on plans for years.
Mr. Harry Kirsner then introduced his father, Mr. Herman Kirsner,
majority stockholder in the company being the owner of 60% and
advised that Mr. Cogen owns 40%. He referred to the work they
have done so far and questioned what would be fair in this case?
Mr. Annunziato read the two alternatives suggested by Mr.
Frederick and clarified that it was his decision that parks and
recreation is not a water tower. Mr. Lambert still questioned
the water tower designation and Mr. Annunziato informed him that
it is noted on the master water distribution plan. Also, he
checked whether an acre was necessary and was told that it is.
He pointed out that Mr. Frederick has given two alternatives
and now the developer must make a decision. Mr. Herman Kirsner
referred to dealing with other cities and stated he would give
whatever was preferred. Mr. Annunziato replied that he was not
the Parks and Recreation Director and it was the applicantts
decision.
Mr. Lambert referred to the plans stated when this property was
annexed and stated he did not remember the water tower site being
tied to the annexation. He explained how it was the City's pre-
rogative regarding the use of this acre and he thinks the deve-
loper should get credit for the donation. After some discussion~
-7-
MINUTES- PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
OCTOBER 24, 1978
Mr. Lambert clarified that the one acre site for the water tower
should be included and the deficiency would be .6 acre and if the
applicant decides on Option #2, a dollar amount would have to be
provided for the . 6 acre as determined by the subdivision regula-
tions.
Further discussion followed regarding the determination of this
site for the location of a water tower and the basis for such a
decision. Chairman Ryder suggested that this issue be resolved
separately at the conclusion-.of the presentation.
Mr. Annunziato then read the attached letter dated October lY
from the South Florida Water Management District.
Mr. Annunziato then referred to traffic being a major considera-
tion and read the Memo of Understanding dated October 20 submitted
by the County. He requested this Memo of Understanding to be made
a part of the record. He requested the developer to address this
memo. Mr. Kirsner stated that they met with Mr. Walker and came
to the accord to do this and would appreciate having this memo
included in the Board's motion and it will be included in the
ordinance passed by the City Council.
Mrs. Huckle requested clarification of ~10 and Mr. Annunziato
informed her that when 19th Avenue is extended, it will serve the
commercial area to the north and the residential area to the south.
Mr. Arena referred to #8 and questioned who would determine where
the transitionlane would start and Mr. Annunziato replied that
this would be determined by the Palm Beach County Traffic Engineer-
ing Department.
Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that his comments and comments
from the Police Department addressed traffic. Both have noted the
extension of 19th Avenue.
Mr. Arena referred to the indication of having access into Golf
Road from the east section and Mr. Kirsner replied that this was
an error because it is too close to the intersection on Congress
Avenue.
Mr. Annunziato then read the attached letter dated October 18 from
Mr. Fred W. Hay, Director of School Plant Planning for the School
Board of Palm Beach County. He clarified that the schools which
will serve this project will be over-capacity and it is recommended
that a real estate transfer tax of .4 of 1% be collected on the
sales price of each unit with these funds being placed in a spec-
ial capital outlay account for construction of school facilities
in the Boynton Beach area. Mr. Herman Kirsner stated that they
just received this letter and explained that he was in favor of
schools. If this applies to everyone, they will do it; but if it
is just for their development, it is not fair. Chairman Ryder
informed him that this has been required of the other PUDs.
-8-
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
OCTOBER 24, 1978
Chairman Ryder asked if anybody else desired to speak in favor of
this and received no response. He asked if anyone wished to speak
in opposition to this proposal and received no response.
Chairman Ryder read a letter from Mr. Norman J. Michael's secre-
tary advising that Mr. Michael is out of town, but is very much
concerned about the development and zoning along Congress Avenue
and will attend the other meetings pertaining to this matter.
Chairman Ryder clarified that apparently there were two matters
to consider, one regarding the water tower and compliance to the
regulations for recreation and the other to take action on the
application itself.
Col. Trauger referred to the area needed for a water tower and
stated he did not think quite an acre is needed. There seems to
be a point of double accounting with asking for an acre of land
and not giving credit. He believes in all fairness, the oneeacre
should be subtracted and leave .6 to be provided for by the appli-
cant in monetary value.
Mr. Arena referred to passing over the issue of density and stated
this should be discussed and Chairman Ryder agreed it was the most
important. Mr. Lambert agreed that the density should be dis-
cussed first because the parks area is based on the density. Chair-
man Ryder referred ~o this being a drastic departure from anything
approved along Congress Avenue. Mr. Arena agreed and referred to
the Council giving some direction previously by requesting the
density to be reduced on the one project. He thinks a tremendous
amount of people are being compacte~~ ~n a small area in this plan.
Chairman Ryder agreed and pointed out that there is a large amount
of water but the land for housing is limited. Mr. Lambert ques-
tioned how the ordinance referred to density and Mr. Annunziato
explained that in planning, the gross densities were considered.
He added that he thinks whatever decision the Board makes has to
be related to surrounding land uses. Chairman Ryder agreed and
referred to Cranbrook Lakes being an entirely different project
than what is proposed here. He suggested possibly going from four
story to two story apartments and this would probably cut the den-
sity down to 9 instead of 12 and would be more in harmony with
Cranbrook Lakes. Discussion of the various condominium complexes
in the City and their densities and construction followed.
Mr. Lambert stated that the density of th~s particular project
falls within the range indicated and probably will be within the
comprehensive land use plan range. We cannot keep telling people
to reduce the density when it fits. He feels this plan is within
the range and will go along with it. They have done what we have
indicated we want. Mr. Arena pointed out that the lake is taking
up a tremendous amount of the area and Chairman Ryder added that
1/3 of this area cannot be built on. Mr. Lambert questioned what
the difference was between the lake and a golf course? Chairman
-9-
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 24, 1978
Ryder replied that most developments have a small difference be-
tween the gross and net density. Mm. Arena added that in building
a golf course, the community can be structured around it and the
holes intertwined throughout the community, but it cannot be done
in this community because there is only so much land which can be
built on. A tremendous amount of people will have to be put in a
small area. The density is within the ranges, but he is looking
at the entire community and considering the small piece of land
being used. Also, Mr. Howell has questioned the density and size
of the lots. Mr. Lambert referred to the developer being concerned
and wanting to sell the homes and stated he did not feel we should
dictate the density'as long as it falls within the range. Mr.
Arena stated he-thinks the Council wants-us to deal with this
problem as they have commented on the densities and appearance.
Col. Tmauger stated that he was in agreement with Mr. Lambert.
This is unusual property because of the largeness, of the lake
and considering the cost and value, he thinks they have done a
fabulous job in the planning with all they have had to give up.
We do have perimeters and this fits within the general perimeters
prescribed.
Mr. Jameson referred to the Council recommending variance in con-
stmuction and not being too concerned with density and stated he
does not feel we have had any direction from the Co'until.
Mrs. Huck!e stated that the problem with the water as opposed to
a park or golf course is not the fault of this developer. It does
have open space. Possibly we should re-examine the definition
for open space in our ordinance if we feel water is more restric-
tive than land. If they are meeting the letter of the ordinance,
she personally would have no quarrel with endorsing this plan as
long as it is according to the PUD ordinance on densities. They
have planned a variety of living accommodations. She questions
the advisability of four story apartments all in one cluster.
She thinks that area is a bit dense, but it might be a fine ar-
rangement for that particular spot.
Chairman Ryder stated that they have done a good job with meeting
the school and traffic requirements, but we must consider the
density. Mrs. Huckle asked if it met the ordinance requirements
and Chairman Ryder replied that it is not according to the PUD
ordinance. Mr. Annunziato clarified that when the plan is
adopted~ then it becomes omdinance form. All we have now is a
recommendation from the staff and consultant. That recommenda-
tion was for a moderate density of a maximum of 7.26 gross and
this is within those limits. Col. Trauger added that we also
must review and approve the site plan. Chairman Ryder stated
that this would not be in harmony with Christ~.&n Villas or
Leisureville.

Mr. Winter questioned just how this could be corrected with not
being able to do anything with the lake and
plied that the lake actually will be d~minished in size from what
exists. However, four story apartments are probably inappropriate
with the new land uses we have seen. He believes four stories are
not consistent with any land uses in the area but believes there
is need for multi-family. However, if approved with the density,
there is no reason why the developer should not build four stories.
A recommendationcou!d be made that ~wo story apartments be built
which would moderate the density.
Chairman Ryder stated it was his understanding that the consultants
working on the comprehensive land use plan are recommending that
the density be reduced immediately to the north of th~s property
which is zoned
Mr. Arena stated that he feels the only way to get this many units
into that small amount of land is by allowing four stories. He
does not think four stories lends itself to the entire area the
way it is being developed. He referred to the developments in
the immediate area and stated that they must be considered. There
are going to be a lot of people living in that little parcel of
land.
Mr. Bmadshaw stated.he would like to comment on the discussion and
clarify some points. He pointed out that different types of units
would be facing the lake itself so the lake does not have one
architectural style. One of their first concept studies was to
reduce the four story density and redistribute to two story villas.
They can take the same amount of acreage left for development and
do in two and three story combinations, but do not think it is
the spirit of a PUD nor the concept of the property in the best
way to develop. The market will determine the sale of four stories.
They could have three stories, but the ordinance allows four stor-
ies. He thinks it is interesting with different heights and roof
scapes.
Mrs. Huckle asked how many units were planned in the east section
and Mr. Bradshaw informed her there would be 180 on 9~ acres.
Mr. Kirsner added that in regards to buffering the neighbors, there
is a lower density around the perimeter. The high quality town-
houses will be on the ~lf courses. The higher density is intem-
nally in this project where it becomes the developer's concern
and not the neighbors? concern. It will be t~u~ered completely
with uses consistent with the neighbors.
Mr. Bradshaw again pointed out the locations of the various type
units and stated he felt it was interesting to break up the types.
Discussion followed regarding what was located on the adjacent
properties.

OCTOBER 24, 19Y8
Mr. Herman Kirsner referred to a good developer with a good back-
ground not building to maximum and told about building 18 units
per acre in Dade County when they were allowed to build 23.9. He
would be willing to be restricted to three stories in the apart-
ments and will not build to the maximum. Mrs. Huck~e referred
to the density with making the apartments three stories and Mr.
Herman Kirsner explained that this would not change because the
units would just be smaller. Further discussion followed about
the reduction in the ~ize of the units.
Mr. Lambert made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Board recom-
mend to the City Council the approval of this application for PUD
rezoning as submitted subject to staff comments and recommendations
with the exception of the Recreation DirectorTs memo and we deter-
mine the applicant shall provide in dollar amount the equivalent
for the addition of .6 acres as determined by the subdivision
regulations. Mr. Annunziato asked if he was saying Mr. Prederick~s
comments are not appropriate and as far as the motion is concerned,
the water tower ~ite does not exist and should be included as
parks and recreation and Mr. Lambert replied this was correct
and the additional .6 acres should be paid in a dollar amount.
Col. Trauger then seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr.
Lambert added that if it is researched and found under the annex-
ation that a deal was made, this will have to be dealt with. If
the property was legally dedicated to the City for a water tower~
then we cannot include it in the recreation area. As requested,
Mrs. Kruse then took a roll call vote on the motion as follows:
Mr. Arena - No
Mrs. Huckle - Yes
Mr. Winter - No
Mr. Lambert - Yes
Mr. Jameson - Yes

right lane. He added that they would follow County requirements.
Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that in viewing this, we have to
relate the commercial use to the concept plan. One of the policies
of the concept plan is to locate community shopping centers at the
intersection of major roads. With the inclusion of Woolbright Road
in this area~ it is totally dedicated to the public from A1A to Jog
Road. The staff recommends approval subject to compliance with the
Palm Beach County Traffic Engineer's Department comments. He thinks
it is appropriate to mention as it has been the past policy, the
approval of this is predicated upon approval of the PUD.
Mr. Lambert made a motion that the application for the zoning
change from Agricultural to C-3 be approved and recommended to
the City Council subject to approval of the PUD and subject to
agreement with the Palm Beach County Traffic Engineer. Mr.
Winter seconded the motion. No discussion. As requested, Mrs.
Kruse took a roll call vote on the motion as follows:
Mr. Arena - Yes
Mrs. Huckle - Yes
Mr. Winter - Yes
Mr. Lambert - Yes
Mr. Jameson - Yes

and maintenance facilities~ and a maximum of
60 units which may be used either as rental
units or as residential dwelling units.
Mr. Annunziato announced that as promised when rezoning occurred,
additional material and plans have been submitted. In addition
to the pre-plat and site plans, the final plat has been submitted
and will be submitted to the Council. The preliminary plat en-
compasses in geometric form what was shown on the master plan.
There are some minor deviations, but the unit count, road~ etc.
remain the same and all other requirements are consistent. In
conjunction with this preliminary pla~ engineering plans were
submitted to the City Engineer and Utility Director and are in
contract shape. He explained that the numerical tracts shown in
the plat incorporate the golf course location and the alphabetical
tracts are development tracts. He also pointed out the location
of the club house and guard house.
Mr. Annunziato then stated of major concern to the staff was the
use of the private road for City purposes. At the time this was
reviewed, it was noted this had not been appropriately addressed.
The final plat addresses language donating as easement the use of
that loop road for 'City utility purposes. He referred to Page 3
of the plat and explained this was the western half of the Hunterfs
Run Golf g Racquet Club and pointed out that cDnnection to Coconut
Lane was provided as an 80 ft. right-of-way. He explained Page 4
covering Canal 29 and added that deeds have been exchanged to
incorporate this design and maintenance agreements have been ac-
complished with the District to provide for aesthetic manicuring
of the tracts to the canal. The area tabulations are 873.637
acres providing for a density of 4.57 units per acre which is less
than the PUD was approved at. The staff recommendation is this
preliminary plat be approved.
Chairman Ryder questioned the purpose for relocating the canal and
the representative explained that it was for aesthetic purposes
and is designed around a golf hole. He added that they have ex-
changed deeds with the Lake Worth Drainage District and have exe-
cuted and recorded maintenance agreements for this canal and
Canal 30.

Mr. Jameson referred to the private road and asked if the construc-
tion, maintenance and lighting would be done by the developer and
Mr. Annunziato replied affirmatively. Mr. Lambert clarified that
it would be closed to the public except for utility vehicles and
Mr. Annunziato agreed.
Mr. Lambert asked if the figures had been checked on this and Mr.
Annunziato replied affirmatively and pointed out there was some
minordeviations in.the configurations, but the acreage has
increased and thedensity decreased.
Mrs. Huckle referred to the previous request of the County to
extend Flavor-Pict Road through this property and the representa-
tive explained that they changed their mind about this and in-
stead, the developer would widen Congress Avenue.
Mr. Winter made a motion that the Planning & Zoning Board recom-
mends to the City Council approval of the Summit Associates Pre-

Mr. Annunziato referred to .discussing a lodge during the initial
approval of the master plan and stated in connection with the club
house~ there is a 58 unit lodge included in the plans of which 22
units are included in the first phase. There were several uses in
the clubhouse which had to be addressed with regards to the parking
requirements. Mr. Howell and he requested a breakdown of the
phasing of the parking be included with the site plan submission.
He read a letter submitted referring to the build-out period and
phasing. He advised that Phase 1 will include 22 hotel rooms and
the initial phase will have 267 parking spaces. The plans as sub-
mitted provide for 391 parking spaces. When Mr. Howell and he
viewed the plans, they determined there was a deficit of 40 parking
spaces based on the breakdown of the lodge area and a revised plan
must be submitted showing these additional spaces for a permit to
be issued. He then told about the three additional phases planned
and added that a total of 431 parking spaces would be required at
build-out.
Mr. Lambert referred to parking for the restaurant and Mr. Annun-
ziato explained how the restaurant would be part of the club house
facility and only opened to members. Mr. Lambert questioned how
the number of members was determined and Mr. Annunziato explained
how the greatest number which could utilize a golf course and have
it servicable would be 400 and they figured 500 members with con-
sidering the other facilities.

Mr. Paul Hickle, Project Manager for Summit Associates, appeared
before the Board and explained how the parking had been calculated
and added that the 300 parking spaces skould accommodate 1,500
members. He further explained how it would be years before a mem-
bership of 1,500 would ever be attained.
Chairman Ryder asked if they contemplated using the course for
major golf tournaments and Mr. Hiekle replied that this had not
been considered and told about their plans to complete the golf
courses and lodge facilities before any homes are built.
Chairman Ryder suggested that the members review the plans and
Mr. Hickle introduced Mr. Robert Blemmer, Architect, and Mr.
Taft Bradshaw, Planner. Mr. Bradshaw showed the master plan
submitted at the time of zoning and pointed out the recreation
area being considered. He explained the architectural and
landscape plans.
Mr. Lambert asked if the 40 additional parP~ng spaces were shown
and Mr. BradShaw replied negatively, but will be included on the
plan for the City Councilts review. He pointed out where the
additional 40 parking spaces would be located. He then explained
the drainage pla~s. He referred to the parking plans and explained
how the parking ha~ea had been redesigned for easier access and
turning.
The detailed plans of the club house facility were then thoroughly
explained and reviewed. The representatives also explained the
various facilities available and the plans for extensive landscap-
ing.
(Due to not feeling well, Chairman Ryder left at 11:00 P. M. and
Col. Trauger assumed the Chairmanship.)
Mr. Lambert referred to the guards parking their cars and Mr.
Annunziato stated that it has been requested that one parking
space be pmovided by each guard house. The representative ex-
plained that theyewere not in favor of t~is and would prefer to
have the guards dmopped off and picked up at the guard houses
and not have the landscaping disturbed with a parking space.
Discussion followed.
Mr. Annunziato then read the staff comments. The Building Dept.
noted that 40 additional parking spaces must be provided. Also,
9 handicapped parking spaces have to be provided. The Fire
Inspector reviewed the plans and there were some questions~ so
it has been requested that the Fire Marshall review the plans.
Also, one parking space be provided for each guard house.

Recreation-Open Space Requirements
Based on Sub-Division Standards, 4.8 acres are to be dedicated
for recreation and open space.
Plans submitted indicate 4.14 acres dedicated for civic
purposes; however, one (1) acre of this is designed for a
water tower. A water tower is no different than a utility
easement, etc. and does not relate to the recreation and
open space element of the Sub-Division Ordinance; consequently,
only 3.14 acres should receive credit for recreation and open
space, leaving a deficiency of 1.6. acres.
The following alternatives are recommended:
(1)
Provide a twenty (20) foot easement (dedicated to the
City) on Golf Road, running the length of the development
to include an eight (8) foot bike path to be constructed
by the developer and maintained by the homeowner's
association; and construct an eight (8) foot bike path
on the property currently dedicated for recreation and
open space with maintenance provided by the City.
OR
(2)
Provide in dollar amount, the equivalent of 1.6
as determined by Sub-Division Regulations.

Rezoning to Planned Unit Development
Dear Mr. Annunziato:
Following are our comments on the above land development proposal, as requested
by the petitioners consultant:
Water Supply - According to the information provided the City of Boynton will
be supplying water service to this proposed 640 unit development. In accordance
with Chapter 373, Part II, Florida Statutes, the City applied for and was
issued a Water Use Permit (No. 50-00499-W) by this District on March 16, 1978
for a period of ten years with an annual allocation 3.89 billion gallons,
and a permitted maximum day withdrawal of 16 million gallons.
District staff calculations estimate that the proposed project will generate
a water supply demand of approximately 324,000 gallons per day. Therefore,
based on the permitted allocation the District can confirm the City's
groundwater withdrawal capability to serve the water supply demands of this
proposed development.
Storm Water Disposal-The subject 125.7 acre parcel is located within the
District C-'16 drainage basin and the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD).
Legal positive outfall is available to this project through LWDD L-26.
The drainage system of this proposed development is divided into three
sections which will utilize two outfalls into LWDD L-26. In the large
drainage area the storm water runoff will be directed through grassed swales
for the residential portions of the project, with the runoff from the
commercial area directed through oil and sediment traps before draining to an
onsite 35 acre lake prior to discharge into LWDD L-26.

The two remaining sections of the project are isolated and will drain directly
into LWDD L-26. As presented conceptually, the drainage plan appears to be
adequate to serve the proposed development.
As required by Chapter 373, Part IV, Florida Statutes, the owner must obtain
a Surface Water Management Permit from this agency, prior to construction of
this development, if approved.

appreciate the opportunity to comment.

SUBJECT: KIRSNER-COGEN PROJECT
Dear Mr. Annuziato:
The Department of School Plant Planning has reviewed preliminary
information relative to the proposed Kirsner-Cogen Project which
when completed will consist of approximately 640 dwelling units
of varying types. This office estimates that this community will
generate approximately 87 public school'age students when completed,
a probable grade level breakdown of which would be as follows:
35 pupils in grades K-5, 26 pupils in grades 6-8, and
26 pupils in grades 9-12.
Schools of attendance, assuming existing attendance boundaries
remain and no new schools are built at the time this community
is completed, are listed below. Also listed are the present existing
membership, the additional student membership to be generated by the
development and the projected total number of students to be housed
when all approved development is completed, as well as, the usable
program capacity of each school.

Existing membership represents student membership reported as of
September 13, 1978.
The 1983-84 projected membership includes students to be generated
from this development and others already approved when completed.
3_/.
Funding is available and planning underway for the construction of
a new senior high school in the area which will assist in alleviating
projected overcrowded conditions at Atlantic High School.
You will note that schools which will be expected to serve students em anating
from this development are projected to be overcrowded by 1983-84. There are
at-present no funds available to build schools in the area other than the
high school. The Administration, therefore, recommends that if the City
Council approves this petition, a condition be placed on approval calling
for a cash contribution equivalent to .4 of 1% of the sales price of each
unit payable at closing. These funds will be plhced in a special capital
outlay accoun~ the purpose of which will be to assist the School Board in
constructing additional school facilities in the area.
The factor that will determine when the enrollments mentioned on the previous
page will arrive is dependent upon the rate at which the various develop-
ments throughout the county are being completed. But there is no reason
to doubt that enrollments will increase when construction is completed nor
can it be assumed that all growth is decades away. It should be noted
that state funds are allocated to school districts based on the actual
number of students in attendance rather than on projected enrollments.
Based on past experience, state capital outlay funding allocations for
this district are generally inadequate to provide facilities necessary
for the additional students who will be enrolled when approved developments
are completed. Therefore funds for capital outlay use must be generated
locally, perhaps through millage increases, ad valorem bond issues, or
some type of "fair share" impact assessment.
This is a county school system and priorities for construction are established
on a county-wide basis. Therefore, the school system's ability to meet
building needs must be viewed against the total county school construction
demand.
Concern has been exTressed by the Boca Raton City Council, the Boynton City
Council, and the Palm Beach County Commission regarding the school con-
struction program. It should be noted that the School Board has twice
in the past six years attempted to pass bond issues to finance new school
construction. In addition, the School Board established in August 1974
an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee consisting of members selected by the League
of Municipalities, the Palm Beach County Commission and the School Board
to study alternative methods of school capital outlay financing. The
Committee recommended that a real estate transfer tax and/or an impact
tax be considered as possible alternatives to the bond issue as potential
sources of capital outlay.
Page 3
Mr. Carmen Annuziato
October 18, 1978
Subsequently, the School Board of Palm Beach County recommended a Real
Estate Transfer Tax on all sales excluding agricultural property to the
local legislative delegation as a potential source of revenue as the tax
would require enabling legislation at the state level before it could he
considered by Palm Beach County residents. Such enabling legislation has
gained the support of both the Mouse and Senate Education Committee during
the past sessions of the State Legislature, however, ultimate approval by
the State Legislature and successful implementation on the county level
will require a strong cooperative effort on the part of all concerned.
There is no doubt that the passage of the Real Estate Transfer Tax, as
praposed, would provide a reliable source of school construction funds
and would remove the questiom of overcrowding schools as a reason for
disapproving developments.
