Chairman Kostner replied that before he continued, he would
like to ask the City Planner if all the legal documents are
in order and ~. Annunziato replied that all the legal re-
quirements have been fulfilled. M~. Ryder requested input
from the City planner. Mr. Annunziato informed the Board
that this is for a PUD with the land use intensity of 3.5,
which is arrived from a formula in the City Code. This
application fulfills each and every requirement as stipu-
lated to come Wp with the 3.5 density. There will be 212
lots with the average size being 67 x 112 ft. He also read
the acreage set aside for canal, lake, road, and recreation
~eas and clarified that there were approximately ~0 acres
in lan~ area. It breaks down to about 2.45 units per acre,
which more than exceeds the density in R-!AAA,

his gross density does not exceed four units per acre, he
would meet the County Land Use Plan requirement.

it was approved by the Planning & Zoning Board and then went
before the Cit Council. Then, Mr. Annunziato was hired smd
he informed hi that this was incorrect as they are in the
County and mus~ get the County's approval before going into
the City. in r. Anntmziato's opinion, the City of Boynton
Beach would be obligated to give him the same zoning that the
County did. Tt~e City had already zoned a portion of the 120
acres~for busi~.ess and they approached the County, but they
would not givethis strio zoning. They would give business,
bu~ not ~trip ~oning as ~he City agreed, This was a year later
and he w=s lef$ with no zoning and nothing official. Mr.
Annunziat~ suggested that he pay another $100 and start all
over and ne woW1$ work with him. He referred to there being
several chmugeS mn the employees of the City and now he just
wants it zoned so he can build houses.
~. Lambert clarified that the north tract of land will remain
agriculture zoz.ed and ~. Cogen agreed, at this time. He
added that theF wanted to get started on this PUD and will
then approach he City on the north 120 acres.
Mr. Lambert st ~ted he did not recall exactly what they ap-
proved on this parcel of land and they did m~e a recommenda-
tion to the Cily Council. M~, Annunziato informed him that it
was never follcwed through as oublic hearings were not held
on the rezonins. He explained-that the original rezoning was
not in accordance with the County. The only potential for
commercial would be in the PUD to serve the residents of this
area. The members discussed further their previous recommenda-
tions for this south tract. Mr. Annunziato stated that ~.
Cogen is c~rrect in that he requested this to be started over.
The City h=s tsken the position that he is zoned Agriculture
and they are obliged to enforce that zoning.

their plans for a 25 acre lake, recreation area, guard house,
etc. He added that the roads and lake will be private and all
maintenance will be paid for by them. Chairman Kostner clari-
fied that the ~rounds would be co~on elements and i~. Cogen
agreed they would be~'for the unit owners.
l~. Ryder stated he was interested how close the homes would
be to each other and ~. Cogen replied that the lots are 67
feet wide. If they will tell him what to do, he will do it.
In the County, he could have built 6 PUD homes per acre or
3½ homes per acre under single f~nily. He is planning a
better density of 2.46 homes per acre. He is not coming into
the City and b~ilding as many ~s he can. He is just a~king
that no furthe~ economical restrictions be imposed on ~hem.
Chairman Kostn~r referred to the lots fronting on the water
and ~. Cogen dnformed him of the 212 lots, 106 will be on
the lake. He ~xplained the plansffurther and pointed out
that none of t~e homes would face on Congress Ave.
M~~. Lambert referred to 2.46 acres being required for recrea-
tional facilities and ~. Cogen replied-that he was providing
28 acres. Mr. Annunziato clarified that he was providing
2.23 acres of !and and the lake and dock would be provided
towards the land area.
M~. Winter referred to there being an objection the last time
to having only one road going in and out and Chairman Kostner
agreed the question was raised, but no~ definite decision was
made. Mm. Lambert stated there was an actual proposal for one
50 ft. road, but they came back with a divided road.
~@. Annunziato informed the Board that the ordinance permits
them to set the front and rear setbacks on the street under
PUD and it is up to them to set them according to the zone.
He does not th~nk it would be unreasonable for the rear yards
adjacent to Congress Avenue and the front yards adjacent to
the street to ~e 2~5 Ft. ~. Winter asked about the side yards
and ~. Annunz~ato replied that this was taken care of by the
PUD. The concept of the PUD involves dissolving the side
setbacks. The side yards are Mr. Cogen's problems. Mr.
Ryder asked whet he had in mind for side yards and Mr. Cogen
replied that he did not think anything less than 5 ft. would
be practical. He doesn't think he could sell houses with less
than 10 ft. ~. Ryder stated he would like to see something
mor~ than 5 ft. ~. Winter stated he would like to see the
minimum requirements of the R-tA zone met, which is 7½ ft.
Mm~. Ryder referred to the frontage being 67 ft. and asked if
15 ft. would pcse a problem and Mr. Cogen replied that he
thought it would. He added that he has brought it down to
2.46 units per acre and has had more rules and regulations
imposed, The !rice of the lots will run $12,000 after taking
out the lake, etc. He cannot charge $80,000 for a home on a
lot this size. If he stayed in the County, they would permit

6 units per acre and }~. Annunziato clarified that the Co~m. ty
would accept his application, but whether they would permit
'it wou!m depend on the site plan. Mr. Cogen contlnued and
advised that he was here to discuss a compromise. With requir-
ing 15 ft,, he could only build a house 52 ft. wide and he must
give these pecp!e a two car garage and this would be diffiCult
to do. He asa.ed if the Board would conSider 12 ft. and the
members discussed this f~ther. Chairman Eostner stated he
would go alon~ with the 12 ft. if the garages were all on the
same side to ~ct as a buffer to guarantee more privacy. ~.
Winter agreed he would also go along with it and referred to
a garage bein~ 20 ft. wide. Mr. Rym~r stated he would also
be inclined tc go along with the 6 ft. SetbaCk after noting
that none of the homes will be back to back. The members
then disCusseS the actual plans further.
~. Lambert t~en questioned the effect of the Bosm~d's recom-
mendation on this and asked if they would see it again and
Mr. Annunziat~ informed him they would be recommending ~ PUD
with land use intensity of 3.5 and the master plan for devel-
opment as submitted by M~. Cogen for the 2t2 lots. They
would also be recommending the recreational facilities, guard
house~ wall a~ong Congress Avenue, etc. They would be recom-
mending 12 ft minimum between the buildings and 25 ft. front
and rear yard setbacks on road rmonts-of-way. If the City
Council appro~ es this rezoning a.m ~r~ster olan, ~. Cogen
would have the land zoned PUD. His next step would be to
submit plats £or the land he wishes to develop. These plats
have to be in substantial conformity with the master plan sub-
mitted and if not, the master plan is dissolved as well as
the zoning. ~hey will be approving the master plan for deve-
lopment and the PUD. The Planning & Zoning Board will see
it again for the plats. The issuanceii'fOr individual permits,
they will not see.
Chairman Kostner then asked if anyone wished to speak for
this proposition of ~. Cogen's in regard to the PUD and he
received no response. He then asked if anyone wished to
speak against this PUD.
M~. Donald Gustafson stated his name and his address as Village
of Golf. He stated that he was not necessa~m~y speaking against
this, but he woUld like to have more information. The Village
of Golf is not a PUD. He would like to ~maow the size of the
houses he plans to build. He did State 2,000 sq. feet, but
does this include the garage and M~. Coo~en· replle~:- ' ~ yes. Mr.
Gustafson then questioned the price range and Mm. Cogen re-
plied from $48,000 to $50,000. Mr. Gustafson thanked them.
~. Lambert m~de a motion that the Planning & Board
recommend the City CoUncil approve the zoning chsmge on the

with the~.irestrictions of 25 ft. front setback and 25 ft. rear
setback and 6 ft, side yard setback and also request Mr. Cogen
to dedicate tl~.e additional 7 ft. along Congress Avenue for the
future wideni~g of Congress Avenue. Mr. Annunziato interjected
that possibly it should be a minimum of 12 ft. between build-
ings and ~.]~ambert questioned the difference. ~.~. Annunziato
explainedh°W it might offer a little more ease of development
in certain in,~t~mces and Mr. Lambert agreed to chsmge to 6 ft.
side yard set])ack to t2 ft. minimum between buildings. M~.
Reiser then s~.~conded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Ryder
stated with a density of 3.5 and Mr. Annunziato clarified that
it was land u~e intensity. Chairman Kostner then asked the
Recording Sec~:~etary to read the motion and Mrs. Kruse read it
back. He ask~.~d if there were any~questions and Mr. Winter
questioned th~ 12 ft. between buildings. He referred to the
possibility o a house being built within 3 ft. of the property
line as long s the other hoUse was 9 ft. away and ~. Annunziato
replied that ~e saw no problem. Mr. Winter stated that the
person with 9 ft. could build anything along the side of his
house and Mr. Annunziato replied that there were no property
lines in a PUi). Chairman Kostner referred to this being iden-
tical to cond ~minium setbacks. Where you have con. non elements,
it does not m~tter. Nothing can be ~one between the homes.
They discussed this further and Mr. Winter requested that
there be a stipulation that 6 ft. minimum side setbacks be
maintained wi~h a minimum of 12 ft. He explained how there

Mr. Leemon informed the Board this was the same project. They
are proposing ~ motel for this area. Even though they have
made the judgement on the abandonment, he hopes they will keep
an open mind oa this deal. Boynton Beach does need this parti-
cular type of hotel for this community. Miami motels would
promote the ar~a and send people to Boynton Beach. He thinks
it would be a ~eal setback to the City if they don't consider
this very seriously to provide transient guests with this
type of facility.
