AhrNOUNCE ~NTS
Chairman Ryder referred to M~s. Huckle's suggestion at the
last meeting to give a report on the items which the Board
recommended to the City Council. He referred to the plan
for parking at the Boulevard Manor Nursing Home on which
we recommended approval and stated that the Council approved
it. Another item recommended was to explore the feasibility
of retaining the consultam_ts to do a study for the reserve
annexation area and although~:this matter did not appear on
the agenda, it was subsequently added and the Council re-
quested the City Manager to follow this recommendation.
He stated that also appearing on the agenda was the matter
of amending the ordinance with regard~to buffer walls. This
was discussed previously and we felt apparently the ordinance
needed a change, but we did not come up with a specific recom-
mendation. It was tabled by the Council and no action was
taken and he understands they have decided to wait until we
meet with the Technical Review Bo~d.

Applicant: Richard S. Johnson & James P. Kintz (Tabled)
Location: 246 N. Congress Avenue, Leisureville Plaza
Legal Description: Acreage
Project Description: Branch Bank for First Federal Sav-
ings & Loan Assoc. of Lake Worth
Chairman P~der announced that this application is for the
installation of a branch bank adjacent to the south end of
the Winn-Dixie Shopping Center or Leisureville Plaza at 804
and Congress Avenue~ This matter was discussed, but there
appeared to be a question of sufficient parking to provide
for the present operations and new operations. It wa~ felt
it would be advisable to table it for the benefit of the
applicant and the Board to explore it further. This matter
was tabled and is on the agenda tonight. However, he received
a letter today from the attorney representing the applicant
advising that they are studying the matter of providing addi-
tional parking space and request it to be tabled tonight and
appear on the agenda for our next meeting on April 25. At
that time, they hope to have completed a study where they
can indicate to the satisfaction of the City that adequate
parking will be provided for all activities in Leisureville
Plaza. He suggests this be left on the table and the members
agreed.
Public~_Hearing
Rezoning Request:
Applicant: Mr. S. J. Jarvis (Tabled)
Location: 900 S. W. 15th Avenue
Legal Description: Acreage
Project Description: To be developed under uses per-
mitted by C-3 zone
Request: Rezone to C-3 from R1-AA
Chairman Ryder announced that this is the land which lies be-
tween the canal and the Seaboard Railroad, bounded on the
north by 15th Avenue and on the south by 23rd Avenue. This
Board has held two previous hearings at which this matter
was discussed, but in each instance the matter ended being
tabled at the request of the applicant because he felt he
needed more time to complete his presentation. The requests
were granted and the date was set for tonight for determina-
tion of this application. Because of the interest in this
matter, the City Council felt the need to set a date to have
a special meeting to discuss this matter. Following the
Board's action tonight, our recommendation will go to the
City Council and on April 20 at 7:30 P. M., the City Council
will hold a public hearing on this matter.
Chairman Ryder then requested the City Planner to comment.
M~. Annunziato replied that he has some comments in reference
to the traffic analysis, but suggests that the presentation
be given first.

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
APRIL 11, 1978
Chairman Ryder first referred to there actually being two
requests for this parcel of land. He stated that one re-
quest was to rezone the southern part from R-1AA to PID
and the other to rezone the northern part from R-1AA to C-3,
which is a commercial category. Subsequently after the second
meeting, the City was notified by Mr. Jarvis that he wished
to withdraw the request for rezoning to PID. We will proceed
tonight to consider the matter of the Change in zoning from
Rml~ to C-3 for the frontage on Woolbright Road from the
E-4 Canal to 1-95.
Col. Trauger made a motion that the rezoning request of Mx.
Jarvis be removed from the table, seconded by ~. Lambert.
Motion carried 7-0.
Mr. Robert F. Griffith, Jr., representing M~. S. J. Jarvis,
appeared before the Board, He referred to the property pre-
sently being zoned R-1AA and advised that it was purchased
by ~. Jarvis in 1970 when it was zoned Ct3. The application
before the Board to be considered is to place the property
back in the same category that it had when purchased by Mr.
Jarvis in 1970. The records reflect that in 1975, at the
time the master plan was adopted, this property was rezoned
to the present zoning of R-~AA. He showed a map and e~'-
plained the location of the property. He stated that it is
bounded by the Seaboard Railroad one, the east, Woolbright
Road on the north, mud the E-4 canal which has a right-of-way
of ~50 feet from the property to the west. The property
located on the western side is zoned C-4, which is a lower
zoning classification than the parcel in question. He also
pointed out that the ~epth equals the parcel to the west.
He then showed an artist.~s rendering of the parcel. The
land area is~.5 acres. He told about the intended develop-
ment including a motel on the eastern portion and general
marketing or shopping area to the west. The motel would be
a chain type unit such as Holiday Inn or Ramada Inn and he
understands both have expressed interest in the Boynton
Beach area. He thinks most people are familiar with their
operations with having a motel and restaurant and cocktail
lounge for their guests. It would be the usual pattern
connected with motel service. They felt in planning the
community center adjacent, it should be a grocery type
shopping store such as Publix or Winn-Dixie with support-
ing retail outlets. The cost of this development based
upon what is shown would be $3,250,000. Computing that on
the present tax base, this would be a revenue of $74,410 in
real estate taxes to the City of Boynton Beach. The deve-
loper has retained a ~iation to present the
traffic analysis which Mr. ~to will cover in more
detail. Each member of the Board has been supplied a copy
of this traffic analysis which includes maps and charts
along with explanations. It is their contention that this
survey indicates that this roadway that services this area
-3-

PL~_~tNG & ZONING BOARD

is more than adequate for this shopping center without adding
to the congestion. He showed a photograph of the aerial view
of the property. He then pointed out the parcel on the City
zoning map and also the adjoining C-4 parcel to the east. He
also pointed out the other C-2 areas to the north and further
west. He also pointed out undeveloped land zoned R-3 extend-
ing to the west to Congress Avenue. The request tonight is
as shown on the map to change the zoning from what is presently
R-1AA to C-3.
Chairman Ryder requested comments from the City Planner re-
garding the traffic study plan. Mr. Annunziato first read a
report from the City Engineer referring to the traffic analy-
sis not addressing itself to the property lying south of the
proposed plaza. Also, the necessity for traffic signals was
not investigated. There is also the question about the need
for a storage lane coming from the west for a right turn. It
is recommended that these items be investigated and traffic
signals be installed when warranted. He clarified that it
meant the traffic impact did not address the entire parcel,
leaving the acreage to the south still a question. It will
either be developed as single family or other purposes de-
pending upon further actions. The width entering the property
is a question. One of the recommendations is if this zoning
is approved, that the developer be required to dedicate right-
of-way for access to the south and the developer be responsim
bls for a tr~fic signal when warranted.
Chairman Ryder read the traffic distribution from the report
estimating 4~% going to the west, 30% going east and 36
going north and south on 1-95 for the shopping center. The
distribution of the motel traffic is estimated in a similar
man. her with 15% going west, 25% going east to Federal High-
way and 30% going north and south on 1-95. The 2~ hour
counts on 15th Avenue would be approximately 12,000 east-
bound and 120300 west bound and approximately 1/3 of that
would be related to access to this development. The 24 hour
count for movement within the development on the access road
would be approximately 8,600.
M~. Lambert referred to right-of-way requests and traffic
lights being made at the time of site plan review in view
of it possibly not being developed according to these plans
and Mr. Annunziato replied that if it was not developed, it
would not be required. Mr. Lambert questioned when the traf-
fic light would be required and M~. Annunziato explained that
it would be required when warranted.
Chairman Ryder referred to the area to the south being an
important consideration because it would be physically hard
to provide access from 23rd ~Avenue to this site. He ex-
plained how it was limited from Woolbright Road with the
right-of-way being there for i-95. He explained how careful
-4-
MINUTES
PLi~ING & ZONING BOARD
APRIL 11, 1978
planning was important in regards to internal distribution
and access and egress to the development and there also must
be consideration given to it being on a grade and curve.
Chairman Ryder announced that long periods of time were de-
voted to this application at previous meetings and many
letters have been received together with a petition. Every-
one will Be given a chance to speak, but he requests that the
comments not be repetitious.
Mx. Fred Lewis, 1996 Campanelli Blvd., appeared before the
Bomrd and advised that he is a licensed professional engineer
in the State of New Jersey. He requests the Board to address
itself to two basic questions on the minds of many people whose
property value would be greatly affected. What were the cir-
cumstances and reasons for rezoning this parcel from commer-
cial to residential in 19757 It seems that the commercial
property was re.zoned to residential at the time the homes
were being built adjoining. A large premium was paid for the
residential lots on the water. Now that all the lots have
been sold, it see~ strangle there is a proposml to rezene
the property back to commercial. If this was done to expedite
the sales, then the buyers were deceived. It is not hard to
see that these properties will go down in value if the pro-
per~y is rezoned.
~. Lewis then stated pursuant to Florida Statute 1t9.07,
they request that the Board furnish the names of the owners
of the property underconsideration for rezoning including
the corporations, partners, share holders, etc. They have
been told that ~. Jarvis is the trustee, but do not know
who the owner is.. They have the right to _know who controls
this property.
Mr. Frank Bower, ~008 Roma Way, appeared before the Board and
~u~mitted three photographs taken in February, 1978. He
advised that the first photograph was of a typical home
probably v~lued between $60,000 to $75,000. These homes
are directly across from the proposed rezoning to C-3. The
second and third photographs are of the south end of the pro-
posed area showing that ~,n~e access to the land can be made
at this area. He explained how the area would have to be a
cul-de-sac which would cause a real problem in the case of a
fire. The original master plan showed this whole area as
R-1~A. That was the intent of the zoning at the time and
why should it be changed at this time? This is a residen-
tial area with homes to the west and east. Section 9 of
Ordinance No. 75-19 indicates that the proposed developer
must indicate the plan of development. Has he done so other
than the map presented? Hms he submitted a plan to the
Board? Chairman Ryder replied that a plan was not required
at this time. ~. Bower stated that under Section 9 of
-5-
MINUTES
PI~NNING & ZONING BOARD
APRIL 11, 1978
Ordinance 75-19, he understands such a plan must be submitted.
Chairman Ryder informed him that this takes place when the
developer comes before the Board with a site plan. He added
that between the time the zoning change is granted and appli-
cation is made for the site plan, very often the developer
may change his mind. At this time, the Board cannot pin him
down to a definite plan. If the zoning change is granted,
any uses under the C-3 category are permitted. Mr. Bower
referred to the proposed population and densi%ies and Chair-
man Ryder explained how this was also considered in the site
plan review. Mr. Bower referred to the possibility of having
a sports arena and shopping mall ink, the area and asked if the
traffic plan had taken this into consideration and Chairman
Ryder replied that he didn't know how tho~e possibilities
could be equated with these plans.
Ms. Joseph J. King, 1716 S. W. 16th Street, appeared before
the Board and advised that he is an active real estate broker
and has been for 20 years. When he moved to this area, he
checked the zoning and was told this area was definitely
R-1AA. At that time, homes were supposed to be built. He
felt there was little chance there would be anything but
residential to go on that property even though he was not
aware of the C-3 zoning previously. H~ referred to there
being court cases pertaining to not interfering with the inte-
grity of already developed co~munit~s unless there was an
absolute need. There is no absolute need for this at this
time. This is zoned R-I_~A now and he thinks it should be.
The ~ster plan should be followed. He referred to the whole
area being R-1AA and it was C-3 when there was not any develop-
ment here. It really stumps everybody why it should come uo
at this time. There was reference to FHA homes being built
on this property, but it would be impossible to get FHA fi-
nancing for that area. Decent homes would have to be built
selling with normal mortgages. He told about houses being
built in other areas along the railroad and !-95 encounter-
ing no problems with sales. He then told about staying in
motels for years and how they were always located at highway
interchanges which caused traffic congestion. He stressed
that planning must be emphasimed for the property adjoining
the interchanges. He showed a map of the interchanges in the
West Palm Beach area and told about the traffic being con-
gested. He then referred back to the R-IAA zoning and stated
again that we should keep it. He does not believe any money
would be lost. He referre~ to the Boynton Beach exits from
1-95 being overpasses and explained how the traffic situa-
tion must be considered.
Ns. Lee Levitow, 2078 S. W. 14th Avenue, appeared before the
Board. He referred to the master plan basically being the
bible for orderly growth in the City and stated that many
zones are commited to various categories. This is a good

sized parcel of land and was zoned R-1AA on the master plan
after considerable study. He doesn't recall ~. Jarvis or a
representative coming at that time to make any request for a
change. He feels Mr. Jarvis should have requested review of
this particular parcel At that time. It was not done and it
seems weirdto come up at this time° It will be to the harm
of the residents who lite in Boynton Beach Leisureville. When
this original request came through, it was requested for the
whole parcel. They have gone through this before with it be-
ing amended to just include one parcel. He thinks it is obvi-
ous if this is zoned C-3, there will be no use for the other
parcel as R-'IAA and they will step in at a later date. The
C-4 land referred to is a very small piece, possibly 125 x
150 ft., and it was planned to be a marina. He does not think
this is a tangible argument. They are opposed to this re-
quested change.
Chairman Ryder ascertained there were no further speakers
and opened the discussion to the Board members.
~. Lambert referred to this having been discussed for quite
awhile and everyone having had the opportunity to take a good
look at the area. There are two interchanges from 1-95 in
Boynton Beach and it see~ this area is the most desirable
for commercial planning. He has observed the streets and
tried to see what properties may or may not face 15th Ave.
There are properties with their rears on the south side of
Woolbright Road, but the only ones facing Woolbright Road
will be the R-3 area under development, He talked to the
owners of the R-3 property and they have no objections.
Being a licensed real estate broker, he has yet to approach
an owner where there was a shopping center within walP~ng
d~stance where it subtracted from the value. Under normal
circumstances with a shopping center ~ithin walking distance,
it is a plus factor. As far as properties being across the
canal, this property is immediately east of the C-4 property
and there are no residential properties across the caAal.
Also, there is a natural buffer of 155 ft. for the canal
with no bridges. Traffic will come with growth and Wool-
bright Road is..®lanned to be a major road. We only have
two exits from !-95. He does not see this request as being
unreasonable for that particular location. The commercial
being proposed is only for 400 ft. off of Woolbright Road
which is even to the C-4 across the canal. Across the street,
there is a ~0 to 12 acre parcel which is C-2o They are not
requesting C-3 for the whole parcel. It is just being re-
quested for the frontage along Woolbright Road.
M~. Winter questioned the length of the C-4 from Woolbright
to the souther~ boundary and Chairman Ryder replied that it
was more than 150 ft. and Mr. Annunziato added that it was
approximately 350 feet. Col. Trauger clarified that the
total application was for 12.25 acres and Mr. Arena added
that the southern boundary line of C-3 will not exten8 fur-
ther south than the C-4.

Mrs. Huckle asked the applicant for an expression of some
kind of indication as to the possible use for the rest of
the area without making a commitment and Mxo Steve Jarvis
replied that when he withdrew the application for the PID,
he me~ with planners and they are working on something to
be able to use the rear property for and to not antagonize
the people. They are trying to work something out where
they can accommodate the City with water wells and power
lines° Until there is more definite planning, he cannot
say. At this p~oint, apparently the PID is dead and he hms
gone back to the planning boards to see what they can de.
In reference to it being zoned R-1AA previously, he did
come before the Board in 1975 when it was zoned R-I~ and
met with City people and was told R-I~ was a holding type
zoning until it was platted. He was refused building per-
mits because of the moratorium being in effect. He does
not know what can be done with the rear property until the
planners consider it further. They are trying to do the
best they can.
Chairman Ryder referred to being permitted the heighth of
45 fto in the C-3 zone and stated that this may pose a good
deal of problems, particularly on the west end. He sug-
gested possibly planning something with a low profile for
the western section in the C-1 category, which allows a
maximum height of two stories. Mr. Jarvis replied that he
does not know of anything in the C-3 districts in Boynton
Beach that is four stories high at the present time and he
does not see any need for anything 45 ft. high, except possi-
bly the motel. He explained how the land was situated 22 ft.
below the railroad tracks. He does not see any reason for
45 ft. in the commercial area° He would like to keep the
C-3 request, but would agree to a height restriction on the
western piece if necessary. Mr. Lambert questioned what
the benefit would be by limiting the height and buffering
it from the C-4 across the canal and Chairman Ryder replied
that he was thinking about the homes buil~ below there and
the impact on them~ As far as the C-4 property, we do not
know what is intended. He thinks it might be helpful to
maintain this low profile on the other side of the canal.
He clarified that his suggestion was for the western parcel
to be C-1 and the eastern parcel to be C-3. Col. Trauger
replied that he ~id not see the reason and Mr. Lambert
pointed out that there was C-4 across the canal. Chairman
Ryder stated he was talking ~bout a gradual transition and
~. Lambert replied that he did not see any homes on the
west side of this parcel and it is zoned C-4. Chairman
Ryder replied that he was aware of this, but was concerned
about the homes i~mediately below. ~. Lambert stated that
the applicant also has R-I~A zoning immediately to the south
mnd he questions whether the man will utilize his own pro-
perty which would harm his residential property to the south.

M~s. Huckle referred to the application requesting C-3 zoning
and stated she thought we should direct our concentration to
the uses allowed in C-3 and to consider all possibilities.
If the zoning is changed, any items listed under C-3 would be
legally permitted. She thinks this will open up a large area
of commercial possibilities. Chair~n Ryder replied that the
only way to control it would be to change it to C-1 or C-2 and
Mrs. Huckle stated that it should be addressed as C-3, as
applied for. Col. Trauger referred to the uses permitted and
stated possibly the only one questionable would be greenhouses
and F~s. Huckle referred to bars and cocktail lounges being
included. Col. Trauger referred to motels having such faci-
lities and added that he had yet to see an objectionable
lounge connected to a motel and ~s. Huckle replied that if
the motel did not become ~ reality, it could be the site of
a large bar and cocktail lounge. Mr. Lambert added that beer
and wine sales were permitted in the C-2 zone.
Mr. Annunziato referred to the use being questioned for the
western tract and stated that probably C-1 would be a more
acceptable transition for the homes to the west. It would
also probably eliminate the need for wrap-around driveways
to the rear.
Col. Trauger stated he could find no objection to the plan.
He has listened to many arguments regarding the downgrading
of property, but in looking at the development of Boynton
Beach during the past ten ~ears, he cannot see any property
which has been downgraded. He does not agree that any pro-
perty will be downgraded.
Mr. ~rena referred to the trend being to
~venue and 15th ~venue to the entrances
he did not feel the trend was to put commercial directly in
the center of residential communities. On this particular
tract of land, it is basically surrounded by commercial and
the developer feels the best use would be to rezone it to
C-3 and he agrees with him. He thinks it would be the best
Mr~ Lambert referred to motels usually choking a site by
interchanges and stated if this zoning is not granted, it
would be silly for anyone to assume motels would not be
built. There could be a~possible site a little further
west at Congress Avenue and Woolbright, which would in-
crea~e the traffic through this area.
Chairman Ryder referred to Woolbright Road being four laned
and agreed that traffic is increasing. He hopes with proper
planning that the impact ~s experienced by Miami will be
avoided here.

Mr. Annunziato told about the plans for Woolbright Road to be
a major road from the east to the west ending at Jog Road.
It is also located at an interchange of the Interstate High-
way. Given planning considerations if there are going to be
commercial uses, he would rather have them oriented at the
interchange than strung out along the highway with numerous
curb cuts. What is proposed is limited access to Woolbright
Road with the potential for a signal as opposed to having
curb cuts strung out all, along,
Chairman Ryder referred to the question asked about what has
happened to signify the change to commercial and stated that
what has happened is 1-95 and the interchange is a physical
reality. This property is now directly on the entr~u~ce to
1-95. This has become a main road. He is a resident of Lei-
sureville and knows it has been a constant battle to keep
areas from being downgraded around the perimeter and at no
time, would he be in favor of the P~D. He thinP~ PID is too
drastic of a change across the canal from homes, but this
property is on the interchange. All along 1-95~t inter-
cha~ges, there are restaurants and motels. He thinks this
situation must be faced. There is C-2 property to the north
of this site with residential behind it and going west, there
is C-2 property. He does not see residential on an entrance
to 1-95. He does see residential to the south of this area.
He has tried desperately to maintain status-quo, but the 15th
~venue interchange has happened. However, he would like to
see control for the western parcel. If it is zoned C-3, we
do not ~ow what will be presented.
M~. Arena referred to the traffic study and asked if there
wa~ any objection to providing a traffic signal when war-
ranted and ~o Jarvis replied that if it is warranted, they
will furnish it. M~. Arena referred to the dedication of the
80 ft. right-of-way and ~. Jarvis replied that they would
dedicate whatever is called for. Mr. Arena referred to the
western tract being zoned C-1 and Mr. Jarvis replied that he
would like to stay with C-3 because of C-4 across the canal.
He purposely kept the depth at ~O0 ft. so no homes would back
up to it.
Col~ TrauEer referred to the development of the motel complex
and commercial as shown on the plan and stated he thought
many people would feel comfortable if reasonable assurance
could be given that this is really the plan he would like to
see implemented if the zoning request is granted and M~o
Jarvis replied that he has,letters on file from motels and
his definite plans are to build a motel towards the inter-
change.
M~. Winter referred to the people stating they were directly
across the canal from this proDosed rezoning and clarified
that they would actually be across from the parcel remaining

R-I~A. This whole parcel of land actually extends to the
same boundary as the C-4 property. There are no residential
parcels directly across from it. The houses on 17th Avenue
are not across from the property. The lots on the canal are
not across from this area at all. Chairman Ryder referred
to the houses being diagonally across from it and Mr. Lambert
added that they were also abutting C-4.
Mrs. Huckle asked if this property were to be split to accom-
modate C-1 or something lower on the western section and C-3
on the eastern section, what would be the approximate area
of the C'3 site and Mm. Annunziato informed her that there
were 9.387 acres on the east and approximately 3 acres on the
west.
M~. Lambert stated he could not understand any reason for
buffering from a C-4 area and made a motion that the appli-
cation for ~. Jarvis for rezoning from R-1AA to C-3 be
recommended to the City Council for approval, including a
traffic signal when warranted, and an 80 ft. right-of-way
as shown on the survey to be dedicated. Col. Trauger
seconded the motion. As requested, ~s. Kruse took a roll

Chairman Ryder requested input from the City Planner. M~.
Annunziato stated that this applicatio~ follows the action
taken by the Planning & Zoning Board approximately one month
ago. He referred to requesting a parking determination from
the Board at that meeting since our code does not mention
recreation buildings. He suggested at that time that the
Board adopt the policy consistent with the Southern Standard
Building Code which is 20 sq. feet per person, one car for
each four individuals. This would have afforded a rational
way to determine the number of parking spaces for a use we
had no requirement for. However, the Board instructed him to
have a site plan presented and they would determine the num-
ber required. The Building Department has noted that the
required parking must be provide,d. The Engineer has requested
paving and drainag~ plans with~elevations for the new dri~e-
Code requirement.
Chairman Ryder asked if anyone in the audience wished to
speak on behalf of this application. Father Donquil appeared
before the Board and explained that the proposed hall would
be used as a cafeteria, for cultural events of the school,
gymnasium for the children to play indoors on rainy days, and
a social hall. There will never be a time when the Parish
Hall will be used at the same time as the church and he feels
there i~ no conflict as far as the p~r~uing is concerned.
Chairman Ryder asked if he was aware of the stipulation re-
Earding additional parking and Father Donquil replied that
he is aware there is a~controversy, but they feel there is
not a need because they have parking now for the church and
there have been no additional members in the past few years.
There will be no additional need for parking for the uses
for which this building is proposed.
Mr. Lambert referred to the facilities not being used at the
sa~e time, but asked if this did happen and more parking was

needed, do they have additional land and Father Donquil re-
plied affirmatively. Mr. Lambert clarified that it was just
their feeling that it is not needed and Father Donquil agreed
and told how there was no expectation of the number of mem-
bers increasing. Mr. Lambert asked if there had been problems
on holidays with overflow parking at the shopping center and
Father Donquil replied that there wasn't, because if the shop-
ping center was used, it was on Sunday. Mr. Lambert stated
that he approached some of the store owners and they did not
indicate any problems and he is not sure they were aware that
cars were parking there from the church.
Me. Jameson asked if masses would be held in the new building
and Father Donquil replied they would occassionally with over-
crowded masses in the winter. NE. Jameson clarified that the
intention was more than just recreation and Father Donquil
agreed that it would be a social parish hall.
Chairman Ryder referred to the plan indicating there is 600 ft.
east of the proposed parish hall going to,the waterway, so
it is not a matter of having room. Father Donquil agreed
that they do have the room, but advised from their investi-
gations, it would impose a tremendous financial problem to
the parish in view of the condition of the area.
Chairman Ryder stated that the Board is faced with approving
a new building and in such matters, the parking required must
be considered. This is an additional building and it would
appear that additional parking would be required. Mr. Lambert
replied that he didn't see in the code where additional park-
ing places are required. He referred to Paragraph W on Page
46 referring to a use which is not specifically spelled out,
the parking shall be determined by the City Council after re-
view and recommendation by the Planning & Zoning Board. He
submits there is not any way whatsoever where there is a park-
ing requirement plan to meet all uses and that is why this
paragraph was included. They have reviewed the parking re-
quired for the present facilities and the only time there is
an overflow situation is mostly during the season for mass
when the school facilities won't be used, there will be no
employees parking and the teachers aren't working. Taking
this into consideration and going by our code book of not
having an absolute requirement for mixed uses, he does not
see why 37 additional parking spaces are required. Chairman
Ryder stated that it is possible under the present condition
that the present facilities are inadequate since there is
the shopping center parking nearby. We do not know how many
park in the shopping center presently. Mr. Lambert stated
he still did not think 37 spaces should be required as it is
not based on our code. The Planning & Zoning Board and City
Council must make this decision. Chairman Ryder clarified
that he was saying there is another building coming in, but
no additional parking is needed. Mr. Lambert replied that

Paragraph W was included for this reason. Also, all the faci-
lities are not to be used at the same time. Chairman Ryder
stated that he feels because of the proximity of the Kwik-
Chek parking plaza, there apparently always seems to be plenty
of room.
~. ~rena referred to this possibly being the first situation
of its type and stated that it must be given consideration.
He does not think a precedent will be set. He explained how
it couldn't be compared to the extension of Leisureville
Plaza as in that case, more traffic wa~' generated with addi-
tional stores. It is definitely spelled out in the code book
in Paragraph W that we must consider each plan individually.
Chairman Ryder replied that he thought a precedent would be
set. ~. Lambert stated that parking for shopping centers
is in the code, but this is not. Paragraph W covers all other
uses not spelled out. This is the first time there has been
a plan with not being covered in the code.
M~. Annunziato stated that his recommendation is firm. He
cannot see adding square footage which will add congestion
at some time without adding parking. Each individual develop-
ment should stand on its own. He thinks possibly there is
not enough parking on Sundays at St. Mark's and the overflow
parking in the shopping center is violating the intent of
the zoning code.
M~s. Huckle asked how he arrived at the 37 parking spaces and
~. Annunziato explained how it was computed according to the
Southern Standard Building Code~with considering the number
of employees, square footage of the building, number of seats
and uses. He believes the recommendation for 37 is logical.
Mr. Arena referred to the Southern Standard Building Code
applying to a recreation building as a free standing entity'
where there is no existing parking which can be utilized,
but this is a unique situation. This is an additional build-
ing being built where there is parking which can be utilized
and this must be considered.
M~. Jameson stated that if this building is going to be used
~or masses on Sunday, then it is going to tax ~he parking
there. Furthermore, there are too many applications coming
before us pointing to the fact of using parking somewhere
else.~ Father Donquil clarified that the overflow of mass
did not mean additional cars at all as they will have the
same number of people. M~s. Huckle asked if they had run
out of p~king and Father Donquil replied that it is crowded
and they have parked on the grass during the short time of
mas~.
~. Arena pointed out that the parking was computed on all
the facilities being used at once, but some common sense
must be used. He does not see ~ll the buildings being used
at the same time.

Project Description: Two Story Recreation Bmilding
~. ~nnunziato informed the Board that this application was
submitted by Village Royale on the Green, Inc. and it com-
prises a two story recreation building and he told about
the various rooms it would contain. The location is sand-
wiched between two existing condominium buildings. 16 park-
ing spaces have been provided for the 7,500 sq. feet of re-
creation area and 720 sq. feet of offices. It is a two
story concept. The big plan is not accurate with respect
to this application, but the small site plan reflects this
request. The overall dimensions of the building are 112 x
57 feet. The elevations are presented on Page AS. A land-
scaping plan has been provided. Concerning the staff comments,
-15-

PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
APRIL 11, 1978
the Building Department has noted that a 20 ft. side yard
setback must be provided to the south of the proposed re-
creation building. 10 ft. is shown and it would necessitate
shifting the building t0 ft. to the north. Parking must be
provided which must be determined by the Board. The Engineer
has and drainage plans with elevations for
the s. His comments are that additional parking
spaces are required. This is a recreation building and
there are no parking requirements in the zoning code and
he explained how he computed 96 parking spaces to be re-
quired and only 16 are provided. He explained how consid-
eration should be given to this being within a condominium
area and most people would be within walking or bicycling
distance.
¥~. Jerry Gross appeared before the Board and informed them
that this recreation building was submitted in accordance
with the site plan. In October, 1972, this Board approved
a site plan under which Village Royale on the Green was con-
structed. The number of parking spaces required and loca-
tion of this building is delineated on that site plan. They
feel they have vested rights over that approved site plan
for the construction of this building under the Ordinances
of the City of Boynton Beach. He does not see any reason
for any additional parking.
Ma. Lambert asked if this was the last building to be deve-
loped and ~. Gross replied that according to the site plan,
there is room for three more buildings. The plan was sub-
mitted, but they were held back under the moratorium. The
model building can also be completed as a multi-purpose
building. Mr. I~ambert asked if he was involved with the
original site plan and Mr. Gross replied affirmatively.
Ma. Lambert clarified that it was his position that most
of the people would be walking to this building and .Mr.
Gross agreed since it is located in the enclosed facility
and is for the use of the residents only.
Mr. Lambert asked if the City Planner was aware of the ap-
proved site plan and Mr. Annunziato replied that he was not
personally aware of this site plan. He asked if the condo-
minium was constructed according to the site plan presented
and Mr. Gross replied that he did not know, but this build-
ing is in accordance to the site plan. Mr. Annunziato clari-
fied that if the site plan was approved, he must ~uow if
everything was buil~ according to the plan and ~o Gross
replied that he did not know. Chairman Ryder referred to
a later site plan showing the pool in a different location
and t~. Gross replied that he was advised that there was an
error in the site plan and it was corrected for approval by
the City. Chairman Ryder refelrred to the two plans not being
consistent and M~. Gross informed him that the small sheet
was what was approved. Mr. Amnunziato stated that the loca-
tion is not consistent with t~e physical location as it

exists nor with the recreation building proposed. Chairman
Ryder clarified that it was not in accordance with the ori-
ginal plan.
Dr. Arthur List, General Contractor, appeared before the
Board. Mrs. Huckle asked if he had a copy of the 1972 site
plan and Dr. List replied affirmatively and submitted it to
the Board. I~r. Annunziato noted that this site plan did not
have the parking as proposed on the application and Dr. List
replied that this was the original site plan. He explained
that after the first phase of the western portion was built,
the eastern port±on was amended as requested by the City.
He advised that the small drawing reflects the actual situa-
tion as built and approved and released by the City. Village
Royle has obtained C/O's for all the buildings and they have
been in use since 1974. They also received approval for the
recreation facilities.
Mr. Annunziato stated that it was important to have an accur-
ate site plan reflecting what and where the buildings are on
the site. He clarified that they were stating that the large
site plan drawn on 10 March 1978 does not reflect what was
approved, but the small plan reflects what was approved in
1972 and Dr. List agreed, Mx. Annunziato stated that he did
not have that site plan for verification. He asked when the
last C/O was issued and Dr. List replied that the last build-
ing was C/O'd in February, 1975. Mr Annunziato claris_ed
that approximately three years have passed and there may be
a question of continuing use.
~. Lambert referred to the sketches indicating that ten
parking spaces were required and M~. Annunziato clarified
that the application submitted was a change from the design
and number of parking spaces, as well as the design of the
building. They discussed further the differences in the
plans.
Mr. LamBert referred to the Leisurevitle Shopping Plaza
making an addition with no side setbacks required and ques-
tioned why it would be required on this plan and Mr. Annun-
ziato informed him that this application was submitted with
a separate survey and under separate ownership.
M~. Lambert asked if the Board could go further before making
a determination which site plan is in force and M~. Annunziato
replied that he did not know since there are questions which
cannot be answered by this Board or himself. There are the
questions of continuing project, vested rights, the accurate
site plan. He thinks there was more than one amendment to
the site plan.
Chairman Ryder suggested hearing from the other speakers.

Mr. Joseph Aranow, 2520 N. E. 1st Court, appeared before the
Board and stated he wanted to make it clear for the record that
he is a unit owner and is talking for himself and not talking
for any association or building. He does not want to argue
the facts with Dr. List or P~. Gross. For over three years,
they have been trying to get this second recreation building.
There have been four or five site plans, but his main interest
is obtaining a copy of the plan for this building, which he
has been unable to do. Under the circumstances, he respect-
fully requests the Board to table this matter. The people
of Village Royale appeared before the Board in June, 1975,
and he suggests cheCking the minutes from that meeting for
further information about this.
Mr. Morton Levine, 2515 N. E. 2nd Court, appeared before the
Board and advised that he is a resident of Village Royale on
the Green and is speaking for himself as a unit owner. There
see~ to be some confusion about the parking area; however, a
plat was submitted for the overall construction and 14 build-
ings were erected with each being a separate entity and cor-
poration. The proposed recreation center will be on a lot
by itself and should be treated as such. The existing parking
areas are on private property and should not be considered.
Tillage Royale on the Green is 14 separate condominiums with
each having their own lot as recorded in the County records.
Mr. Lambert questioned who would pay for this clubhouse and
~. Levine replied that the residents of Village Ro~e would
under a 99 year lease. ~. Lambert asked if there was ample
room for additional parking on this site and N~. Levine re-
plied that there was not on this plot of land because it is
sandwiched between two independently owned buildings. He
does not believe there would be sufficient parking spaces
to accommodate the approximate 112 parking spaces needed.
Chairman Ryder asked where the plans were indicating the
relative positions of the various building lines in this
area and Dr. List replied that they have not been able to
find them as the Building Department claimed they were lost
when they moved. ~. Annunziato pointed out that the survey
submitted has the property lines drawn and there is a dis-
tance of 9.8 ft. to the south building and 15.8 ft. to the
north building. Chairman Ryder clarified that there were
only two buildings in this immediate vicinity and
Annunziato agreed.
Chairman Ryder stated he did not think the Board could go
much further and suggested possibly tabling this to obtain
more information.
~. Gross restated his position that when this site plan
was approved in 1972, it set out the plan for building at
Village Royale on the Green. The building now proposed is

the recreation area shown on,the site plan which was approved
by this Board and the City. The parking was delineated by
number and lines on the plan. He feels it is an administra-
tive function of the Planning & Zoning Board to pass on the
plans in line with the approved site plan.
Chairman Ryder referred to his previous reference to having
vested rights and Mr. Gross replied that a moratorium was
imposed. Chairman Ryder stated he thought an opinion must
be obtained from the City' Attorney on this.
Mr. Lambert requested clarification of why this should be
tabled and Chairman Ryder explained how information should
be obtained of what happened in the interim and give the
parking matter further consideration. M~. Annunziato added
that a verifiable approved site plan should be obtained.
He is aware there have been many changes to the site plan,
but he thinks an approved site plan should be related to
exactly what was built. If there are changes from as builts
to amendments, that is a question. The parking must be rec-
tified. Ownership must be satisfied. The vested~rights
should be explored. The moratorium has been. off since Aug-
ust, 1975.
There was discussion about the action to be taken and ~s.
Huckle questioned why the Technical Review Board did not ob-
tain specific plans and Ms. Annunziato clarified that what
was presented to him was an apPlication for site plan appro-
vaI with a survey and independent ownership. It was just a
question of the number of parking spaces required. It was
~pparent a requirement could not be made for parking. The
question of the site plans only became apparent tonight.
~s. Huckle stated she could not understand tabling some-
thing which almost has to start over again. Further discus-
sion followed about the procedure to follow.
Dr. List stated that before the Board makes any decision,
he would like to state to his knowledge that Village Royale
on the Green does not request site plan approval, but is
questing a building permit. The site plan has been done
twice with the original and amendment. There is no need for
site plan approval. Chairman Ryder informed him that accord-
ing to the City procedure, since a new building is proposed
the site plan mUst be reviewed. Mr. Arena added that there
was also a signed application submitted requesting site plan
review.
Mr. Lambert suggested tabling this with instructions to M~.
Annunziato to find the chain of documents and M~. Annunziato
replied that he think~ that may be impossible~ Ms. Lambert
added that we also must get a determination from the City
Attorney on his recommendation on the procedure. Mr. Annun-
ziato requested that this direction be modified as he thinks

it is the applicant's responsibility to produce the documents.
He also thinks it is veryimportant to see an as-built plan
with respect to the site plan they buil~ under. He thinks it
is important to tie the two together and check any variations.
Mr. Lambert referred to this requiring a total survey and
Mr. Annunziato clarified that the basic locations of the
buildings and parking must be shown. Ms. Lambert referred
to inspections having been made and building permits issned
and asked if it was fair to assume it was not built per the
site plans approved by all the Boards. ~s. Huckle suggested
tabling this to get verification of the continuity of this
project and whether it is still valid°
Mr. Arena referred to the problem being that the applicant
has indicated there are amended site plans approved at dif-
ferent intervals. He is interested to know which one of the
site plans was used to develop the project. The parking
determinations were probably made on the total project.
Which site plans were used for certain buildings? He does
not see how we can make any determination until we know what
site plan is to be used and if it was built as indi¢~ated.
M~. Annunziato informed the Board that this application could
stay on its own with respect to our code for R-3 zoning pur-
poses. If it is not v~sted with respect to the site plan
approved, it does not need to be built as shown. However,
the question is whether 16 parking places are adequate.
Mrs. Huckle clarified that the continuity of the project
must be resolved and Chairman Ryder added that he thought
more information was needed. Mr. Lambert asked what would
be done if this is tabled and ~. Annunziato replied that
we must be provided with the approved site plan and data sub-
~antiating it. We must obtain an opinion on the vested
rights question. There were also additional condominium
units mentioned which should possibly be considered. We
should be provided with some as-built plans relating to the
site plan. We must verify what procedure has to be followe~.

the corner at Seacrest and 15th Avenue and want to remodel
the 7-11 Store to make it a nice looking store. They have
not been able to up to this point because the bank was unde-
cided whether they were going to use this corner for a bank.
They would like to improve the exterior and remodel the in-
terior per the plan submitted.
Mr. Lambert referred to the buffer wall requirement and
McCullough replied that they own that whole block from 15th

wall would still be required and Mr. McCullough replied that
they have no objection~and there will be no problem.
Mr. Arena made a motion that the Pl~uning & Zoning Board

personally like the City Council to take into consideration
the 6 ft. concrete block wall requirement as recently there
has been some relief given at the Council level and he would
like them to pay particular attention to whether it is~neces-
sary in this case. Mr. Arena replied that he thinks the
Council in this particular case would do the City a big
favor to keep the wall and not do away with it as this is
a 24 hour operation and traffic is generated constantly.
He does not think any relief should be given in this parti-
cular case. Chairman Ryder agreed this was not similar to

The application and documents submitted were reviewed and
found to be complete and true. Two cha~ges were recomma~ded,
one concering the water lines and one concerning the rights-
of-way width and they have been corrected to the staff's
satisfaction. He suggests turning the discussion over to

Chairman Ryder suggested hearing from the City Engineer first~
~. Tom Clark appeared before the Board and explained how
the master plan was submitted in numerous sheets in accord-
ance with the newly adopted suhdivision regulations. All
the plans comply with the Technical Review Board's comments
preceeding the development of the master plan. Me explained
how the individual plats must be consistent with the master
plan.
Chairman Ryder questioned the minimum width of the streets
to be dedicated to the City and M~. Clark informed him that
the minimum are 60 ft~ according to the ordinance. Chairman
Ryder asked if they were private streets and ~o Clark replied
that they are not indicated at this point; however, the only
private streets would be those serving the multi-family dwel-
lings. He added that they dedicated additional right-of-way'
for 22nd ~venue to be consistent with the County thoroughfare
plan and will dedicate additional right-of-way for Congress
~venue.
¥~. Bud Post, Post, Buckley, Schuh and Jarnigan, appeared
before the Board and advised that the information they w~ut
to present is one step beyond the land planning that accom-
panied the rezoning application. They want to give as much
explanation as desired on the ~ster planning stages such
as road and street layout, master water and sewer plans,
and whatever information is desired. He explained how the
plans were defined. If these master plans are approved to-
night, they will continue with the detailed engineering
plans. He then introduced ~. Bill Todd to explain the
drawings.
Chairman Ryder asked if he was aware of the stipulations
and if there would be any problems. Mr. Post told about
the size of the water mains being adequate for their develo?
ment and told about negotiations with the City regarding
this. He also explained how the plans would be submitted

He explained the road and lot layouts. He pointed out the
approximate 57 acres of private open space and approximate
23 acres of public open space. He then showed and explained
the Topographical Exhibit° He then explained 'the Master
Water Main Plan. He referred to the Master Plan for the
Sanitary Sewer and pointed out the five sewage collection
areas served by the pumping station and explained the col-
lection system. He also told about the well system and the
flow routes. He referred to the drainage plans and explained
how the water would be contained on the site. There was some
discussion about the flood elevations. Mr. Todd then contin-
ued with showing a boundary map and property owners map. He
referred to Exhibit 3.2 showing the zoning classifications
approved on March t4. He then explained the soils map defin-
ing the characteristics of the soil.
M~. Post then referred to the rezoning being recommended sub-
ject to three elements, the School Board contract, the traf-
fic impact, and annexation of the parcel in the extreme
south end~ He requested his attorney, ~. Bill Pruitt, to
give a report on these. Mr. Bill Pruitt informed the Board
that they completed their contract negotiations with the
School Board and they approved and executed the contract.
They discussed the traffic situation with ~ ~alker from
the County and had a conference tod~¥ with the ~ssistant
County ~ttorney. ~ rough draft was prepared. The annexa-
tion is in progress. The zoning from the County is RS,
which is single family and that is what it will be. The
density will be less and there will be no problems.
~. L~nbert asked what was decided with the School Board
agreement and Mr. Pruitt replied that it would be .4% upon
closing of the transaction. ~lso, the money will be spent
within the City limits of Boynton Beach and its reserve
area.

we must sit down with the Technical Review Board and dis-
cuss the matter and reach a decision. Chairman Ryder sug-
gested discussion by the Board in preparation for the meet-
ing and P~. Lambert agreed that a special meeting would be
in order for this purpose. After discussion, it was agreed
to meet on Wednesday, April 19 at 3:00 P. M.
~. Annunziato suggested that the members come prepared with
written input to the meeting. M~. Arena referred to not know-
ing what the objections were to the Board reviewing the plan
and suggested that an explanation be given why it is not nec-
essary. ~iro Lambert suggested that possibly the Chairman
could get a copy of the recommendation from the Building
Department to give us something to work with. Chairman
Ryder suggested exploring the whole matter.
