He announced that the meeting tonight was a regular meeting, plus a notice of hearing. He introduced the members of the Board and announced that he was presiding, as the Chairman, Richard B. Vastine, was out of town. He stated the Board would take up the matter of the public hearing first and then proceed to the regular meeting. ~. Hugh F. Quinn appeared before the Board and stated his name and that he represented the firm of Tietig, Van Koughnet & Quinn and owns the property at S.E. 21st Avenue and Sea- crest Boulevard. He also stated that he owns all the shares of stock of Seaworth Shire, Inc., which owns the remaining property. He informed the Board that Seaway Terrace Subdiv- ision is vacant land and has remained that way since record- ing approximately 20 years ago. There are five existing homes in the plat, but they will not be affected. The easements are ones that run north and south in back along Seacrest Boulevard and backing on them are additional lots, also all utility easements that are upon those lots that are blocked off by streets in the northeast corner of the subdivision. Actually, the southeast corner of the subdivision will not be affected. Ail three streets which exist in the plat, two running north and south and one running east and west are pro- posed to be abandoned. Southeast 21st Avenue would not be affected. Chairman Kostner asked Mr. Quinn if he was referring to the following notice advertised July 5 and July 12 in the Boyn- ton Beach News Journal: Notice is hereby given that the Planning& Zoning~ Board of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida shall meet at 7:30 P.M., Thursday, July 19, 1973 at the City Hall, Boynton Beach, to consider Abandonment of a portion of the plat, includ- ing rights of way and easements of a parcel more particularly described as: MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE TWO JULY 19, 1973 All in Seaway Terrace Recorded in Plat Book 23, Page 127 Palm Beach County Records Located West of Florida East Coast Railroad, North of S.E. 21st Avenue, and East of Seacrest Boulevard S.E. 1st Street (Brad Road) lying East of Lots 10 thru 18 incl. and West of Lots 19, 29, 30, and 37 thru 39 incl.

Applicant - Hugh F. Quinn, of the firm of Tietig, Van Koughnet & Quinn, individually and representing Seaworth Shire, Inc. Mr. Quinn replied: Yes, that is correct. Chairman Kostner said since nobody seemed to be present to object and it was evident that Mr. Quinn was in favor of this project, he re- quested that the members question Mr. Quinn regarding this matter. ~. Blacketer questioned wells in the area. Mr, Barrett said that prior to Mr. Quinn's application for abandonment of this plat, the city had talked about additional wells for water supply. He was sure Mr. Quinn had talked with Mr. Clark about locations of these wells. Mr. Quinn said there were three proposed well sites which he pointed out to the members on the map. He noted two well sites in the back corners of the property, which he had no objection to; however, the third well was located right in the middle of the entrance to the property. He added that a better location along Seacrest Boulevard could possibly be found. The well situation was discussed thoroughly between the members and ~. Quinn. Mr. Kelly then referred to a letter from Florida Power & Light Company stating their objection to the abandonment of all rights of way and easements in this subdivision. Col. Wehrell questioned the guarantee of an~ecess road to M~UTES PI~NN!NG & ZONING BOARD PAGE THREE JULY 19, ]973 the property in the rear owned by someone else. Mr. Quinn replied that there is a road which runs east and west along the north end of the property from Seacrest Boulevard back. Col. Wehrel! stressed that this man must be assured of ac- cess. Mr. Quinn replied that there would be no problem and that he would assure by his company access to this property, except if a well is put in there. Chairman Kostner then asked if a site plan was available and Mr. Barrett replied that he would get it from his office. ~. Blacketer referred to access to the rear property pointing out that it was zoned C-1 and if trucks used the road, would he still agree? Mr. Quinn replied that he checked with Mr. Clark and was ad- vised that only small trucks would be using the road. ~. Barrett returned and presented the members with the site plan. ~. Quinn was able to point out the well locations more accurately on this plan. The well locations were fur- ther discussed and Mr. Quinn again pointed out the undesir- able location for the third well. Col. Wehrell questioned the necessity of three wells and Mr. Quinn replied that that is what the city requested and that he had no objec- tions to the ones in the back~ just the front one. Mr. Kelly asked what these well locations would look like. Mr. Barrett replied that they are basically a large pump which must be housed and fenced. The well situation was further discussed and it was pointed out that this front well had to be a sufficient distance from the other two. Mr. Quinn thought possibly it could be moved north of Lot 1, which would be on the adjoining property. Further discussion followed, after which Mr. Quinn summed up that access to the lot north of the property had been covered, the two well locations on the east side of the property had been covered, and that the members seemed to be in agreement with him that the third well was not an ideal location and he was willing to get together with the city engineer to discuss this. The next objection was from Florida Power and Light Company, which Mr. Quinn was not aware of until this meeting. Mr. Quinn said he would appreciate if the Board would give him approval based that within one week he would get this re- solved with Florida Power & Light Company. ~. Quinn said Florida Power & Light Company is referring to the easement which abutts running in an easterly/westerly direction and backs on lots 19 thru 24 and also lots 25 to 29 and that this easement is not affected is correct. These lots are serviced by that easement and it will remain. Mm. Quinn added that his time was crucial and that he must commence construction within the very near future. Col. Wehrell added that possibly ~. Barrett could speak to Mr. Flushing about having this well relocation resolved. MINUTES PLANNING & ZONING BOARD PAGE JULY 19, ~I973 Chairman Kostner said if we proposed questions to be ans- wered and innumerated these and subject to these questions being answered satisfactorily, that this Board would give tentative approval. Mr. Barrett pointed out that these conditions should be met before going to Council for final approval. Mr. Quinn stated that he would like to have final approval subject to these questions being answered instead of tentative approval. Chairman Kostner replied that he would want to see these questions satisfactorily answered by the various departments involved before giving final approval.M~. Quinn asked if it would be possible for him to answer these questions in writing to the Board and when these answers were favorably resolved that he could continue onto the City Council for the August 7 meeting, instead of waiting until the September meeting so he could proceed as time is important. The members discussed this possibility. Mr. Kelly made a motion that Mr. Quinn be given the oppor- tunity within the next week to correct the following ques- tions: 1. The matter of the location of the third well somewhere immediately east of Sea- crest Boulevard or anywhere the City Engineer decides. 2. That he present a letter from Florida Power & Light Company expressing no objection to the removal of the easements. These questions being settled, he is to come before the Planning & Zoning Board the latter part of next week at a special meeting incorporated into the workshop meeting and recommend that the public hearing be kept open and this matter before the Board be tabled until the workshop meet- ing within a week. Col. Wehrell seconded the motion. All voted in favor and it was carried 5-0. Mr. Quinn acknowledged, ascertaining that the questions are Florida Power & Light, the well and access to the road in the back? Chairman Kostner replied: Yes.
