Minutes 10-10-78MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD HELD AT CITY HALL, BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1978 PRESENT Simon Ryder, Chairman Col. Walter M. T~auger, Vice Chairman Ronald Arena Mrs. Marilyn Huckle Richard Lambert John Jameson Garry Winter Carmen Annunziato, City Planner Chairman Ryder welcomed everyone and called the meeting to order at 7:30 P. M. He introduced the members of the Board, City Planner and Recording Secretary. He acknowledged, the presence in the audience of Mayor Em61y M. Jackson. He announced that tonight's meeting is subject to a public hearing which has been duly adver- tised and the people living within 400 ft. have been notified. MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1978 Mr. Lambert moved that the minutes of the regular Planning S Zoning Board meeting of September 26 be approved as submitted, seconded by Mr. Arena. Motion carried 7-0. ANNOUNCEMENTS Chairman Ryder referred to a column in the Miami Herald on Monday, October 9, entitled "Boynton is County's Boom Town" and advised that this article indicates that within ~he past several months, this Board and subsequently the City Council have considered a total of 8,000 new dwelling units which will subsequently find their way here. This represents major develop- ments largely along Congress Avenue. He explained how these developments are Planned Unit Developments consisting of hun- dreds of homes, provisions for widening Congress Avenue, making contributions to the School Board, low densities, mixture of housing units and lend harmony to existing developments. Mr. Annunziato announced that this coming Thursday night, Mr. John Fernsler from Wallace, McHarg, Roberts S Todd, and he will be making a presentation to the Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce and the public is invited. Anyone interested should contact the Chamber of Commerce for reservations. This will be held at Tropical Acres at 7:30 P. M. OLD BUSINESS Chairman Ryder referred to the disposition of items which this Board recommends to the City Council and stated at the regular City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 3, there was a public hearing on The Meadwws located on North Congress Avenue with the north limit at Hypoluxo Road which will contain a mixture of homes. This was approved by the Council 5-0. Along with that, MINUTES PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD PAGE TWO OCTOBER 10, 1978 another parcel providing for commercial development on the corner of Hypoluxo Road and Congress Avenue was approved in the same manner. No site development plans were included on the agenda for Council's review. Chairman Ryder referred to the Legal section and advised that the ordinance pertaining to Mr. Leemon's rezoning request was read on second reading and approved 4-1. An ordinance was also read on first reading for F $ R Development, Boynton Lakes, and was approved 5-0, including the commercial area. Chairman Ryder stated that under New Business, Councilman Roberts brought up the subject of substandard lots and after some discus- sion, the Council requested the City Manager to conduct a survey and make a report on the present existence of substandard lots. NEW BUSINESS Public Hearing - Rezoning Request Applicant: Mr.-S. J. Jarvis Location: 900 S. W. 15th Avenue Legal Description: Acreage Request: Rezone to Planned Industrial Development (PID) from R-1AA Use: To be developed under the uses permitted by PID Chairman Ryder announced before requesting the City Planner to give any input with regard to new developments in this matter, he would like to review what has happened. He first explained the location. He stated that in March, this applicant made two re- quests for rezoning from R-1AA, one request covered the strip on 15th Avenue to be zoned commercial and the rest of the tract south of the frontage on 15th Avenue to 23rd Avenue to be rezoned to PID. This Board had a preliminary hearing at which time there was a good deal of discussion and we also received many letters and both meetings were well attended. The application was tabled at the first meeting. At the second meeting, consideration was resumed and the request to rezone the entire frontage to C-3 was rejected by the Board. A compromise was suggested where the portion immediately adjacent to the E-4 Canal would be zoned C-1 and the remainder to the railroad be C-3 which was approved. At that time, the applicant indicated he was withdrawing his request to rezone the remainder of the tract to PID. It is obvious that nothing has happen~doon this property since then except for the "For Sale~' sign on the property. He then referred to the Compre- hensive Land Use Plan and stated that hearings have been held and more will be held in the future and according to the consultants, the best possible land use for this land in their opinion is PID development. He will now turn this matter over to Mr. Annunziato to bring everyone up to date with recent developments. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE THREE OCTOBER 10, 1978 Mr. Annunziato announced that he would like to take a few minutes and talk about what a PID is as opposed to a strict manufacturing development. A PID is a development designed and constructed under unified control. This is one of the deviations that you find from classic M-1 zoning. There is a great deal of thought which goes into site design prior to the first permit being issued. Ail the requirements regarding paving and drainage, sewer and water, buffer strips and barriers, etc. all must be addressed and accounted for prior to permits being issued. He explained how parcels could be developed and sold separately in the M-1 zone, but a PID guarantees all these things must be accounted for prior to the issuance of permits. There is strict design criteria providing for pollution free and ecologically sound businesses. Individual site plan submission is required prior to issuance of permit. Each individual site receives specific attention not only from the Planning $ Zoning Board and City staff but from the City Council. The Council must approve each and every use. No use is approved until approved by the Council. Under M-1 zoning, land can be developed subject to the zoning classification regardless of the impact to the surrounding areas. He explained how each individual use in a PID must provide the City with complete plans which are reviewed by the staff with recommendations made to the Planning & Zoning Board and then recommendations made to the City Council for the site plan and use. This Will be a high quality development and any manufacturer who purchases land in a PiD knows his investment is going to be guaranteed. Mr. Annunziato announced that he would now like to review the site plan submitted for the Board's review in conjunction with this rezoning request. Copies have been distributed to the Board members and a copy is on display for the audience. There is a median cut in Woolbright Road which will service this pro- perty. The sewer main was stubbed out on Woolbright Road to provide sewer service. The major modification is that the road location is changed and the concept of the design is changed somewhat to reduce the impact to surrounding areas. He pointed out the location of the major access road and explained that it would run along the existing power lines. From the road west, it is proposed that the area remain in a landscaped mode and dedicated to the City to remain as a landscape and drainage area and be a location for City water wells. The distance between the houses in Leisureville to the first building on this property will be approximately 325 feet with land and water separating the buildings. The landscaping and drainage area will be kept in a natural state and if necessary, the Board can recommend additional landscaping. He pointed out that there will be three cul-de-sacs providing access to the 19 building lots. He explained how from past experience, developers buy in a PID to have room for expan- sion and it is very likely there will not be 19 different entities. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE FOUR OCTOBER 10, 19Y8 Mr. Annunziato continued that the roads will be built to City standards and dedicated to the City. In.addition to approxi- mately 90 ft. of landscaped barrier forming the western boundary, 25 feet of landscap~ barrier will be provided by the developer surrounding the PID except at the entrance road. He then re- quested comments from the developer. Mr. Robert Griffith, 630 East Ocean Avenue, Attorney representing Mr. S. J. Jarvis, appeared before the Board. He believes the statement made by Mr. Annunziato prettywell covers the matter explaining the use of this particular project. The plan does have several features he would like to clarify. The tract of land as shown on the map is one which will be a great help to the City providing certain services which'the City needs in the expansion of the public water system. He explained how it was the developer's proposal to dedicate or convey by deed to the City approximately four acres for the use of water we~ls. This will afford the City much needed water well locations. Water is critical for the growth of any community. Prior to any construe- tion, each individual project will be presented to the City Com- mission with a complete detailed set of plans for the construction desired. This site will be under the rigorous control of the City. There will not be any exp6sed buildings or exposed en- trances for unloading or loading. The City will control every development from start to finish. He explained ~the landscaped areas planned. He believes the finished project.will be an added improvement for the property owners in Leisureville. Mr. Griffith then stated that the other factor is the economical input which will add to the tax structure of the City. He referred to an article in tonight's Palm Beach Times regarding Delray Beach wanting a development of this type. The tax base is a problem we are all concerned with. He thinks we are all knowledgable to re~ze if you have a community based on residential properties wren it is fully developed, it means an ever increasing tax base which you will not have where you have a mixture of properties. Industrial or commercial properties have quite high taxes compared to other property. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor of this application. Mr. William Meisinger, 1391 S.W. 17th Avenue, appeared before the Board and stated he didn't want to speak in favor o~ disfavor but wants to speak on behalf of the residents of Boynton Leisureville. The PID per~its a building height of 45 feet. Will this height be allowed throughout the whole area? The people living on the west- erly side of the canal would like any building ~oing upa~long the canal to be restricted to one story. A 45 ft. high building will be higher than any gree~nbelt. If the Board and Council will assure and guarantee that buildings will be restricted to one story along the canal, he is sure there will be no 6bjection from the people in MINUTES PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD PAGE FIVE OCTOBER 10, 1978 Boynton Leisureville. He has talked to Mr. Jarvis and has been informed that he has gone to a farther distance and there will be approximately 360 feet between buildings. If the buildings can be restricted to one story, there will be no objections. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone wished to speak in opposition to this application. Mr. Robert Riscoe, 3113 Chapel Hill Boulevard, appeared before the Board and asked if the roads are to be made to City standards and would accommodate 70 ft. trailers weighing 50 tons or more and Mr. Annunziato replied affirmatively. Mr. Riscoe referred to the green belt designated on the west side of the property and asked if the South Florida Drainage District had something to say about the lands abutting canals and Mr. Annunziato replied negatively. Mr. Riscoe ~uestioned the width of the roads and asked if they will be dedicated to the City and Mr. Annunziato informed him that they will be a minimum width of 60 ft. and will be dedicated to the City. Mr. Riscoe asked if they would accommodate 70 ft. trailers and Mr. Annunziato replied~that the cul-de-sacs are 100 feet. Mr. Riscoe clarified that each lot will be one acre with a building and Mr. Annunziato agreed with Council's approval of the use. Chairman Ryder added that~as the sections are developed, review of the plans will be made. Mr. Riscoe asked if there would be a traffic light at the intersection and Mr. Annunziato replied that a traffic impactaanalysis would have to be submitted and will determine the need for traffic signalization. Mr. Joe Keene, 1716 S.W. 16th Street, appeared before the Board and stated when the original hearing was held, there was the sug- gestion made to visit the Hillsboro Plaza which he has done. In reference to the height of buildings, in Deerfield the height of the buildings is vemy!low. He has pictures of the buildings. Chairman Ryder clarified that none were higher than two stories and Mr. Keene agreed. Mr. Keene continued that he also obtained a copy of Deerfield BeachTs PID Ordinance and it stresses the necessity to be harmonious to adjoining areas. In reference to Mr. JarvisT plans, who will maintain the area along the canal? Mr. Annunziato replied that he didn't think he could answer that now as it is not definitive at this point. He believes the land will remain undisturbed. Possibly some additional trees will be planted but he doesn't anticipate it being cleared. Chairman Ryder added that~most of the trees there now will be able to re- main fronting on the canal. Mr. Keene commented that there will be some gaps. He added that Deerfield Beach requires landscape plans and Mr. Annunziato informed him that we require the same. Chairman Ryder added that our PID regulations are patterned after the Deerfield Beach regulations. Mr. Keene then showed pictures of the Hillsboro Plaza. MINUTES PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD PAGE SIX OCTOBER 10, 1978 Mr. Ed Plynn~ 1202 S.W. 22nd Avenue, appeared before the Board and questioned the height of a one story building and Mr. Annunziato replied that it depends on the type of construction and explained that residential is about 8 ft. to the top eave and industrial is approximately 15 to 17 feet. Mr. Plynn questioned the approximate height'on a one story building in this project and Mr. Annunziato replied that it-would be 17 feet approximately. Ms. Ruth March, 1204 S.W. 22nd Avenue, appeared before the Board and referred to air pollution and not allowing an industry which will emit any offensive odor and questioned controls on noise pollution? Also, how many wells are planned along that strip? Mr. Lambert read the controls from the code regulating noise, dust, odor, smoke, etc. emission. Mrs. March referred to chemical, chewing gum, perfume pla~s, etc. being offensive and Mr. Annunziato informed her that the uses have to be permitted by the City, but there are a grea~ number o~ uses prohibited. He read the list from the code. He added that in reference to the number of we~ls, he cannot specifically recall the exact number, but believes it was about eight. Ms. March stated that a concentration of these wells could be very noisy and Mr. Annunziato informed her they will be sgparated by approximately 250 feet along the perimeter of the site. Ms. March asked if they would be hidden from view and Mr. Annunziato replied that the design criteria has not been established. Chairman Ryder added that screening could be pro- ~ided and Mrs. Huckle added that they were not unat.%-~-active. Mr. Annunziato stated that whether or not this is zoned rID, there will be wells ~tthis location. Two wells are in p!aee but are not operating. Mr. Lambert referred to all the wells being on the east side and Mr. Annunziato explained how separa- tion was required for proper operation. Chairman Ryder added that we have a new facility to treat water, but we must have the water to treat. As the demand increases, we must have more wells. Ms. March cautioned the City to be very careful as this is right in the middle of the residential areas of High Point, Leisureville, and Golfview Harbour. Mr. Joe Longo, 1102 Florentine Way, appeared before the Board and asked why the wells were moved from one end to the other? Also, what are the height of these wells? At the last meeting, it was mentioned that the wells would be located along the track. Mr. Annunziato replied that the location was not changed~ the well field site at this location has always been adjacent to the extre- mities of the property. Mr. Longo again referred to the height and Mr. Annunziato referred to there being one by the Little League ball park and stated it would not be more than 10 feet high. Mr. Longo questioned the noise and Chairman Ryder replied that there was notmuch noise at all. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE SEVEN OCTOBER 10, 1978 Mr. Lambert referred to getting off on the wrong subject and stated that wells are a vital concern, but these wells will go in even if residential homes are built. Mr. Longo stated that he was under the impression that all the wells would go along the track. Mr. Longo then questioned who was going to maintain the road along the canal and told about this being a spot for motorcycle clubs to race. Mr. Annunziato explained how this development would have security with access restricted, so the existing situation would have to be eliminated. Mr. Roland Swanson, 1707 S.W. 18th Street, appeared before the Board and asked why the wells couldn't be on the other side along the railroad and Chairman Ryder explained that the locations must be determined by experts and added that there was a chance of in- filtration being close to the east. Mr. Annunziato further ex- plained that wells could not be in close proximity to each other. Mr. Richard Morse, 1204 S.W. 22nd Avenue, appeared before the Board and asked if each manufacturer' would have to provide their own parking area on their own property and Chairman Ryder replied affirmatively and we have specific regulations covering that. He added that the City requires off-street parking in every in- stance and the streets are not permitted for parking purposes. Mr. Lambert asked if the plans had always been to have the wells around the perimeter of the property and Mr. Jarvis replied af- firmatively. He explained how the we~ls on the east would be within 20 feet of buildings, but on the west side they would be at least 160 feet from the Leisureville people. Also, he thinks anyone could park 100 feet from any of the wells and would not hear them. Also, they will be enclosed.and not unsightly. Mr. Jarvis then explained that rather than moving the high power lines, he has extended the area to 150 feet to get close to the power line and the buildings will have a 30 ft. setback. There is plenty of room for the wells and the power lines do not have to be moved. Also, a 16" water main can be run along this area. He is trying to accommodate the City and the power company and do the best job. Further discussion followed regarding the well locations. Mr. Lambert then suggested moving the whole plan to give an additional 25 feet on the east and have all the wells on that side. Mr. ~nnunziato explained that the well field was de- signed to extend around the perimeter. Mr. Jarvis added that the well sites on the east side are 600 feet apart and he assumes there must be sufficient distance between any future ones. Mr. Annunziato continued that the City is in a position where it must have well sites and this is the City well field site. It has been tested and must be brought into service in the future for water supply. The well site locations have nothing to do with the zoning. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD P~SE EIGHT OCTOBER 10, 1978 Mr. Arena asked how Mr. Jarvis felt about the question of height and Mr. Jarvis replied that the PID ordinance callsdfor a 25 ft. green belt and there was a suggestion to have a 40 ft. green belt. He is planning to have a 150 ft. green belt plus a 30 ft. setback and does not think he can agree to one story. How high is the highest building in Deerfield and Mr. Keene replied about 30 ft. Mr. Jarvis stated that in giving ample green belt area plus the setback .and giving the City four acres of land for water wells, he is doing the best he can. Mr. Jameson questioned the height of the planned buildings and Mr. Jarvis replied that the PID ordi- nance allows 45 feet. Mr. Griffith added that by taking alltthe lots fronting on the E-4 Canal, this meant seven lots out of the total development of 19 lots would have to have the reduced size and he thinks this is an unreasonable request when the planning and zoning regulations govern the City. He does not think 45 ft. is unreasonable when spaced 350 to 400 feet away from buildings, which is more than the average length of a city bloek. There are high tension lines which exceed 60 ft. in height. Some trees in that~ea also exceed 60 ft. in height. To state the request to reduce almost 50% of their plot plan to one story buildings may make the whole plan not feasible to develop. Mr. Jarvis is donat- ing four acres to the City for well fields and the value of this land is approximately $30,000 to $40,000 per acre. This is quite a gift to the City. He has seen very few developers doing this. This will benefit the developer and the community. Col. Trauger referred to the height of a building having to appear on the plans for site plan review and Mr. Annunziato agreed. Chairman Ryder added that 45 feet was permitted and possibly as a condition, we might alert the developer that-!ower buildings would be preferred along the road. Mr. Lambert questioned the height limit at Hillsboro Plaza and Mr. Keene informed him that it is 35 feet and the highest building is about 32 feet. Mr. Griffith stated that an ordinance governs the height of struc- tures. Within Leisureville~ there are some high buildings with two story apartments being mixed with other structures. There is a Holiday Inn planned which will be three to four stories high in a residential area. He does not think there should be discrimination to this project because it is near Zeisureville. Chairman Ryder replied that the apartments in Leisureville are in the R-3 zone and Mr. Griffith agreed, but added that they are higher than one story. He referred further to high condominium buildings adjoin~ ing residential homes and stated.he did not believe the height of buildings should be determined by this Board~ but is a matter controlled by ordinance which states 45 feet. Mr. Arena stated that presently the land is zoned R-1AA and the height limitation is 25 feet. Mr. Griffith agreed but stated when Mr. Jarvis ppBrchased this property in !971, it was zoned C-3. Mt has been rezoned since then. MINUTES PLAN$[ING & ZONING BOARD PAGE NINE OCTOBER 10, 1978 Mr. Griffith clarified that they are presenting a very developed plan which would be the best use for this property and is a very needed project for the City and will aid in the expansion of muni- cipal services with saving the City several thousands of dollars. He thinks Mr. Jarvis is doing a service to the community. Mr. Lambert-stated that some of the most expensive residential homes in the City are adjacent to four story buildings. Also~ these buildings will probably be more attractive than a four story condominium complex. Mr. Keene clamified that the statement about the trees being 60 ft. high is not correct because the trees are not that high. The buildings at Deerfietd are 30 ft. high, but our ordinance allows 45 feet. He told about land being available in other areas where there was no restriction on the height. A larger area should be used for the PID if higher buildings are allowed. The 45 ft. height limitation should be changed on a parcel this size. This is not that large of a parcel and they just'want to squeeze it in because of the railroad and 1-95. Chairman Ryder declared the public hearing closed and opened the discussion to the members of the Board. Mr. Arena referred to the last meeting mention being made regard- ing the economical impact to the City and Mr. Griffith replied that a study~was not done and explained how the type of buildings had to be known in order to make a study. H He stressed that the tax base would be much higher when this land is developed compared to residential property. Col. Trauger referred to mostof the sites being sold at Hillsboro Plaza and stated he questioned previously-whether an economical impact-survey had been made with determining figures for dollar volume or employment. He feels the location of Boynton Beach and this property with two accesses is ideal for service type operations. He told how many northern firms were moving their professional and office personnel to the south. In looking at the area, he can find no other tract of land which would lend to the type of industry Boynton Beach has been trying to attract and with the restrictions under the PID, we almost have the assur- ance of the type of industry which will bring jobs to the City, increase the tax base, and bring a variety of people here of a professional and skilled nature. He told about visting a PID development in northern Virginia and how it had the appearance of a college..and told about the nature of the businesses. He feels this will bring clean and desirable industry to Boynton Beach. Every plot plan will be submitted to this Board and the City Council for review. The regulations will be imposed by the two Boards and noth±ng objectionable will be allowed. MINUTES PLANNING & ZOniNG BOARD PAGE TEN OCTOBER 10, 1978 Mr. Lambert then read a report by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce based on 500 new workers being brought into the employment fieldsand advised the figures were $4,000,000 more in personal income, $2,000,000 retail sales which would require the establishment of ten retail est&blishments and $2,500,000 in bank deposits. Ms. March questioned the lighting being considered and Chairman Ryder replied that street lighting will be required, but this will be considered at the time of site plan review. A gentleman in the audience asked if this was not approved, could Mr. Jarvis request another rehearing and Chairman Ryder replied that anything is possible. Mr. Arena made a motion that the rezoning request for Mr. S. J. Jarvis, 900 S. W. !Sth Avenue, from R-1AA to Planned Industrial Development be recommended to be approved by the City Council subject to the degel~per adding additional landscaping in the west buffer avenue as determined by the City and also that the height of buildings on Lots 1, 9, 10, 3_l, 12, 13 andi~9 be limited to 35 feet. Mr. Lambert seconded the motion. Under disCUssion, Chairman Ryder suggested additional provisos such as no construction west of the present utility poles, the road- way paralleling to the west of the utility poles be dedicated to the City, the land between the roadway and the east bank of the canal be a buffer without any construction, all trees in this buffer area be retained, and where there may be extensive gaps they be filled accordingly with vegetative barriers. Mr. Jameson asked if he was including only the paralleling road and Chairman Ryder clarified that all be dedicated streets. Mr. Lambert questioned whether this was in order at this parti- cular time and Mr. Annunziato replied that he did not think it was in order. Chairman Ryder stated that almost since its in- ception, he has been opposed to this change. It was mentioned that it was zoned C-3, but that was before the homes were built. He would be opposed to anything which would have a detrimental effect on the new homes. However, he does not think this area lends itself to the development of single family homes. The only access it from 15th Avenue. Something has to be done and it should be in the best interest of the City but should not hurt the people. It seems with the changes that have been made, it is something we man,all live with. He does not think there will be any serious effect on the people living on the other side of the canal. He feels the City ne~ds this and there are not many places left where we could have this type of develop- ment. The area east of Charterworld is a M-1 area, but Rel Company has a beautiful building there which is the type of building which will be built in a PID. We have extensive regu- lations which the developer must adhere to. These will be followed as the buildings are proposed and will be reviewed by this Board and the Council. He thinks with the changes proposed, it will not hurt at all. MINUTES PLANNING $ ZONING BOARD PAGE ELEVEN OCTOBER 10, 1978 Mr. Jameson told about companies located in a PID usually having just the research operation located here ~ith no manufacturing. Mr. Winter stated that the nearest building to any of the houses in Leisureville will be 405 leer'away. On Lots 9~ 10, 11, 12, and 13, the distance will be 415 feet. This would be so great that you would not even see the buildings from the nearest house, even if two or thr~e stories. Even if the height regulations are 45 feet, it does not mean a 45 ft. building will be built. Most of the buildings in the Hillsboro Plaza are two stories. Chairman Ryder agreed that most of the companies locating here would pro- bably not care to operate on the basis of multi-level development. Mrs. Huckle referred to the "For Sale" sign mentioned on the pro- perty and questioned if the land was sold, would it be detrimental to the PID. Mr. Jarvis clarified that the sign does not say "For Sale", but "For Information". Mr. Arena referred to the height limitation of 35 feet and stated that this is located in the City with a tremendous amount of residential development surrounding the site. He feels we must accommodate the peoplest concerns,but also not make it detrimental to the developer. One story will limit the developer. He does not see where the 35 ft. limitation has caused any problems in the Hil!sboro Plaza and does not think on the west lots it will cause hardship in this case. There is property available for people interested in having higher buildings. Chairman Ryder agreed that there is enough flexibility in the number of lots where it should not be a serious limitation or handicap to the builder to confine the limitation to the westerly part of the development. He would be very much in favor of going along with that proviso. Mr. Arena clarified that it would be 35 feet on the westerly seven lots. Col. Trauger asked if Mr. Jarvis was in agreement and Mr. Griffith replied affirmatively. Mr. Arena asked Mr. Annunz~ato to clarify the point of additional landscaping being needed and Mr. Annunziato stated that he feels a landscaped barrier should be along the canal, but an on-site examination will have to be made to determine whether additional landscaping is needed. Mr. Lambert referred to this strip being owned by the City and Mr. Annunziato agreed, but stated that he wanted it covered that the Citywould not have to bear the addi- tional cost for landscaping if needed. Mr. Lambert referred to this being a little vague and added that the PID ordinance requires the landscaping to be approved during site plan review by the Planning & Zoning Board and Community Appearance Board. Mr. Arena informed him that this area would not be part of the site once it is deeded to the City. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE TWELVE OCTOBER 10, 1978 Chairman Ryder referred again to his suggestions to nog allow con- struction between the line of the present utility poles and the E-4 Canal and no trees can be removed. Mr. Lambert stated that the City may have to remove trees to install the well fields. Mr. Annunziato informed the Board that until the road is cut through the length of the property, we will not know where gaps exist if any. If we retain, as a City, the prerogative to determine if gaps exist, he does not think Mr. Jarvis would mind planting additional trees. It-would require an on-site investi- gation, but the road must be cut first. Mr. Lambert referred to this land being owned by the City and Mr. Annunziato agreed, but stated that it will not relieve the developer of providing the foliage regardless of ownership. Mr. Lambert suggested that the site plan submitted be included in the motion and Mr. Annunziato agreed since it was submitted in conjunction with the application. Mr. Annunziato read a list of six~ recommended conditions. Mr. Arena then withdrewhis motion and Mr. Lambert withdrew his second. Mr. Lambert stated that he still did not agree to the landscaping request as he feels it is being unreasonable as nobody knows what is in there. The City will get the property and put in the wells. The developer will have to relandscape City property which the City tore up. Also, how would it be determined, what is adequate, for how many years? Chairman Ryder clarified that the point was that the buffer strip should be effective as screening. Mr. Arena agreed with Mr. LambertTs points and questioned how long the deve- loper would be liable to keep replanting. Mr. Lambert suggested including the term of at the time of development plans, actual site plan approval or construction of road. Mr. Arena agreed that it should be at the time of construction of the road, any gaps which exist will be filled in by the developer. Further discussion followed about the landscaping request. Mr. Arena made a motion that the Planning $ Zoning Board recommend to the City Council the approval to rezone the property as re- quested by the applicant, Mr. $. J. Jarvis located at 900 S. W. 15th Avenue, from R-1AA to Planned Industrial Development subject to: !. The plan submitted for Boynton Interchange Plaza as revised 10/9/78 be adopted in con- junction with this motion. Additional landscaping in westemn buffer area to be provided by de,elOper"as d, ete~mi~-by the City upon completion of t~e'-West road. MINUTES PAGE THIRTEEN PLA~ING & ZONING BOARD OCTOBER 10, 1978 3.
