Request: C-1 to C-2 Location: 1319 No. Fedl Hwy Owner: Lake Worth Oil Company, Inc. Mr. Peter A. Killion came forward and advised it is now known as Royal Petroleum, Inc. instead of Lake Worth Oil Company. He further stated they built the present facility in April, 1963 and their MINUTES PLANNI~G & ZONING BOARD JUNE 8~ !967 intentions are in the near future to again~re~h~bilitate that fac'lity. They plan to tear down the buildings North/-e~ b~he-ea~ and make that a service station as that is their business° He stated that it be- comes important on occasions for an operator of a service station to do what could be termed a major.~ repair in a service station. Our business is outlined in the letter that was sent to you. The operator does have to do repairs to make a living. We did lose our last tenant specifically because he was threatened with loss of his license due to the repairs~ but I think it was more for cluttering the property and making a nuisance value in the City. We feel that a man in the service station business today should be able to do repair work. Mr~ Olds read the letter from ~[ro Killion of Lake Worth Oil Company. No one else came forward in favor or against the request. Discussion held. Mr. Wehrell moved that we do not approve this request. Seconded by Mr. Dutch. Unanimously carried° That part of the No421' of Lot 3 of the Subdivision of Sec, 33, Township 45S, Rang~ 43E, (measured along the west line thereof) which lines west of the west line of Seacrest Boulevard, Palm Beach County records. Request: R-1 to C-1 Location: 2003-2109 S. Seacrest Blvd. Owner: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints lit. Dutch disqualified himself because of conflict of interest. Mr. Weaver disqualified himself as he represents one of the owners of this property. Mr, David, member of Walter Dutch's firm~ came forward to discuss the request stating that the people interested in developing this ProPerty would like to build apartments. The purpose for asking for C-1, as shown in architects plan shown, is the fact that under R-~, you can only put 8 units in one particular b~ilding and according to their plan, there would be more apartments %u one building and they will all be two story apartments, They plan on having 72 units in all and no higher than a two story building throughout the entire development. There is ample parking under this plan, approximately 90 car spaces are required, and we have several more than the mini- mum requirement. This plan has been drawn by an architect according to the C-1 zoning of the City of Boynton Beach. Mr. Olds read the letter f~om the Church which was signed by Stanley Johnson, President. MINUTES Pi~iNi~Ii{G & ZONING BOARD JUFE 8, 1967 Parcel 3: Continusdo Discussion hetdo Mr. B~ll requested a more detailed sketch of the whole area so that we know how many apartments in each building, how many feet in each apartment and also a ga~arantee of the fact that they will build the apartments as requested at this time. They could come in after the zoning was changed and build entirely different buildings and it would not b~ advisable for us to n~ke any decision on this at this time. He suggested that we table this for further study and complete plans as suggested above. Further discussion was held. Mro D~tch c~e forward to advise that the owners of the property next to this property have already had it zoned a few years ago to C-1. It would be sort of a contiguous apartment complexes. Mro James Sarno came forward and stated that the property directly West of ~ere we are now requesting a change is o~naed by}~. Rose. ~sidential area to the South, is highly residential. Is the Church going to do the construction of these apartments? Are they going to sell the property to a construction outfit to do the ~ilding or just what are their plans? He stated that, "we have 17 buildings - 8 families in a building~ off-street parking, 35~ set backs from the front of the lot to the building. The acreage is somewhere between 12 and 14 acres. 17% of our area is covered by buildings". }'~s. Janet Hall~ representing the Church property to the South of the property in question, came forward. She stated that they have no objection to the apar~ents per se, but they would l~ce you to con- sider carefully before changing the zoning from C-1~'if there is some other method of handling ~is where %hey could put in the apartments they desire. We do not ~¢ant the C-t zoning at all. M~. Weaver, representing M.A. Weaver Estates, came forward. He advised they had the s~ae objection - they objected to the C-1 zoning, not to the apartments. Mr. Whorten c~me forward and he also agreed with M~s. Hall's statement They do not want the C-1 zoning either. F~zrther discussion was held. lCr. Wehrell moved that the request be rejected° (~h~.

So 1 North from the Boynton Canal to the North City limits, a beautification between the Railroad and U.S. ~I. We should stimulate a low hedge about 3 or 4 feet high to obstruct the railroad tracks. It would also muffle the noise from the trains. Discussion held. The question was raised as to whether or not they would have to go to the railroad for permission to use the property. It was suggested to turn this idea over to the Planning Board for furtker consideration. Mr. Dutch moved that we recommend that the hedge and/or any other beautification that may be deemed advisable be placed on the West side of the U.S. 1 commencing on the North side of the Boynton Canal and rtuuning Northward for approximately I mile to the North City limits and that the planning and performance be put in the hands of the proper City Governmental Department.
