PUBL'rC AUD'rENCE:
ZND'rVI'DUAL SPEAKERS W'rLL BE L'rM'rTED TO 3-MI'NUTE PRESENTATTONS
Mayor Broening said that the Public Audience portion of the meeting is to allow citizens to ask
questions and be heard. He announced that he had received 35 cards regarding the Nickels Road
property. He held up a flyer (flyer is marked "Attachment A" and is part of the original minutes on file
in the office of the City Clerk), which he said was completely wrong and untrue.
Mayor Broening read the following statement regarding the Nickels Road property:
Statement by Mayor Broening
of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida
Concerning Nickels Road Site
Good evening. The City Commission meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month. Our
procedure for business is to have the public audience at the beginning of the meeting. Tonight
we will follow that custom with one minor change. T would like to comment on an item that I
know a number of you wish to make comments on. My purpose in doing so is to share some
facts regarding the issue with you so that you are aware of the City's position on this matter.
The article that appeared in the Sun-Sentinel on March 11, 2002 was an article that followed
previous stories on the Heart of Boynton in both the Palm Beach Post and the Sun-Sentinel.
The press has given the Heart of Boynton project a great deal of attention and justifiably so as
it is a very important project for the City.
However, one sentence in the March 11, 2002 article seems to have caused a furor in an area
of unincorporated Boynton Beach near Lawrence Road. T'II read the sentence from the article
and then comment on it:
"To revamp the Cherry H/lis pub/lc housing area, the C/O/ hopes to persuade the Palm Beach
Couno/ Housing Author/O/to agree to a land swap. The authodO/ which owns the public
housing development (at Cherry H/7/s), wou/d g/ve that to the C/O/ /n exchange for vacant/and
the C/O/ owns just west of the Boynton Beach I~a// off Lawrence Road. "Source: "Some Families
Fear Losing Homes to Boynton Redevelopment." Sun-Sen#ne/Page JB.
As a practical matter, relocation of residents from the Cherry Hills area to this area is not viable
for several reasons:
1. The time frame for the City's implementation of the Heart of Boynton is faster than any
development approvals, if such approval is granted, for this property.
:It is likely that current residents of Cherry Hills would not want to relocate to the
Nickels Road property. Our discussions with residents in Cherry Hills have focused on
developing neighborhood associations that would support relocation of the residents to
locations in the environs of Cherry Hills or other locations closer to work, schools and
family.
Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission
Boynton Beach, Florida
March :L9, 2002
The Heart of Boynton Plan (page 45) calls for the City of Boynton Beach to work with
the Palm Beach County Housing Authority to issue what are called "Section 8
Certificates" to the residents of Cherry Hills. These certificates allow the residents to
move to quality housing in neighborhoods they wish to move to.
In many cases the residents of Cherry Hills will want to move back to their old
neighborhood when replacement owner occupied housing of better quality is available.
We want them back because they have been contributing to the Boynton Beach
community for many years.
No change in the City's own land use plan for the west Boynton property is contemplated. The
City's comprehensive land use plan for this neighborhood was approved by the City Commission
on November 7, 1989 as Ordinance 89-38 which calls for this area to be developed as Iow-
density single-family and open space. Specific to the City property, let me read the section of
the plan as follows:
'The O'er should oppose development on the vacant por#on of Boynton ~Vest subdivision which
exceeds dens/#es on the adjacent developed po~'on~ exceeds a 2-story building heigh~ or
which would alter the single-family character of the area. A possible use of the vacant propert~
/n this area would be a neighborhood par~ on the property owned by the C/~ or a d/st#ct
par~ if the property owned by the O~ were to be comb/ned w/th the other large vacant parcels
/n the v/c/n/~. "
Accordingly, the City's long-range plan for the area is stated as above because this is a policy
statement approved by the City Commission. This does not preclude development of the
property as Iow-density single family, nor does it preclude the Palm Beach County Housing
Authority from developing the property they own.
! cannot speak to any plans the Housing Authority has for the property they own. T personally
have not seen any plans nor can ! confirm that any plan exists. The Housing Authority property
is in county jurisdiction as is the City property. Any plans would be subject to the Palm Beach
County review process.
The Palm Beach County land use designation for the Nickels Road properties is medium density
residential and the zoning for the property is currently RS, which is residential single family.
However, as a practical matter, the timing of any development of the Housing Authority
property and proposed use of City owned property for uses other than open space or park use
is subject to Palm Beach County zoning and also should follow the City's own comprehensive
land plan.
The City has had discussions off and on for the past six years with the Housing Authority as to
the use of their property and the City's in this area. However, these discussions have been at a
staff level only. As a matter of fact, the City Commission has not acted on any specific proposal
for any use of the City owned property in this area. The City Commission will not act on any
proposal to change any planned use of any property owned by the City or in its jurisdiction until

the facts are presented and reviewed, Palm Beach County consulted and the residents in the
area involved.
Respectfully,
Gerald Broening, Mayor
City of Boynton Beach, Florida
March 19, 2002
Mayor Broening said that there is no plan for the use of this property. The flyer that the
citizens received is inaccurate. :It is very clear that this Commission and our own ordinance
would prohibit any such activity. Mayor Broening then asked if anyone still wished to speak on
the subject.
Scott Baird, 3886 Aladdin Avenue, said that the Mayor called the flyer inaccurate and
wrong but did not say it was not happening and it was false and a lie. Mayor Broening then
said it was not happening, it is false and a lie. Mayor Broening said that the property is owned
by the City but is in the County's jurisdiction. There have been historic reports of discussions at
the staff level of swapping lands but that is not happening.
3ud .1ones, 9341 Longmeadow Circle, said that someone from his neighborhood had
spoken to Wilfred Hawkins and he stated that they were going to build 46 units of condos and
quadplexes, Mr..]ones wanted to know how he could say this if there are no plans.
Mayor Broening said that nothing has come before the City Manager or the City Commission.
The official position of the City is the statement that Mayor Broening just read.
David Voellinger, 9810 Nickels Boulevard, thought that the Mayor's statements sound to
him as though it has been discussed but not officially. Mayor Broening said that there probably
have been discussions but it only gets credibility when it comes before the City Commission and
senior staff as a proposal.
Anthony Morris, 3779 Edgar Avenue, read a letter to the Commission. A copy of the letter
is marked "Attachment B" and is part of the original minutes on file in the office of the City
Clerk.
When questioned by 3elf Herlihy, 3800 Barkis Avenue, City Manager Bressner said that
both the City owned property and the Palm Beach County Housing Authority property are in
unincorporated Palm Beach County and subject to their zoning and planning. Mr. Herlihy asked
whether Palm Beach County had eminent domain over City property and City Manager Bressner
said he did not know but would find out.
Brent Braunworth, 506 Whispering Pines Road, requested that the residents be kept
informed on what is going on.
Meeting Minutes

March 19, 2002
Bob Kruger asked whether the land swap has been completed. Mayor Broening said there has
not been a land swap or any plan for the use of that property. There is no desire to change the
land use.
City Manager Bressner said that if the County wanted to change the land use, they would have
to hold a series of public meetings. The land use in the County has been in place for a number
of years and he is not aware of any proposed changes but suggested that Mr. Kruger contact
elected officials at the County level for confirmation.
Mr. Kruger said that he understood that this land was donated to the City and it was designated
for a park. City Manager Bressner said that the deed says it is to be used for a public purpose.
Lisa Vatulla, Coelebs Avenue, asked how the citizens could lobby to make this property a
park and was told they would have to lobby both the County and the City. City Manager
Bressner said that some money from the County would be needed to put in a recreational use.
He suggested that Ms. Vatulla supply him with a list of ten people in this room to work with the
City on this.
Leticia Swift~ 3863 Edgar Avenue, asked whether a land swap could happen and Mayor
Broening said it could not with this City Commission, Mayor Broening said that there would
have to be public hearings before any there could be any land use changes.
A gentleman from the audience asked why there were surveyors in that area today. City
Manager Bressner did not know but will find out.
Patty Herlihy, 3800 Barkis Avenue, asked for the names of any neighborhood associations
referred to in the Mayor's letter, statement #2. City Manager Bressner answered that they are
being established now. None have been created yet.
A gentlemen who lives on Nickels Road said that he recently purchased his home and was
concerned regarding the real estate values going down.
Brian Edwards, 629 NE 9th Avenue, said that he does not live in the neighborhood that is
affected. However, over the last 13 months there have been many community meetings
regarding the Heart of Boynton and how these people could upgrade their community. He does
not know where the public housing vouchers will place people but they have a right to live
wherever they choose. Everything about the Heart of Boynton has been a matter of public
record and everyone in the City has been invited to be part of that process. :In order to build
public housing in any neighborhood, it would require the City and the City Commission to be
intimately involved in discussing this with the neighborhood associations.
A gentlemen who lives at 9347 Long Meadow Circle said that there is a lot of trash on that
vacant land and since the City is the owner, they should clear it.
Mayor Broening said that in the last four or five years the City has made a wholehearted
attempt to involve its citizens in major decisions. He applauded the residents for coming to the

meeting tonight. He told them that they can call him at home any time and gave his telephone
number.
This concluded the portion of the Public Audience regarding the Nickels Road property.
Butch Miller, 1401 Neptune Drive, said that he addressed the City Commission two weeks
ago with two questions but he does not feel he has received a good response. His first
question was "Why was the Commission so tax driven?" This question was not addressed. His
second question was "Who paid for Commissioner McCray's trip to China?" He was given an
answer of who did not pay; however, he wanted to know who did pay.
Robert Motchkavitz, Director of Development for Premier Gateway Center at
Quantum, took exception to a recent article in the newspaper, which expressed an
unfavorable opinion regarding development activities at Quantum Park. He said that the
market has softened since 9-11. Mr. Motchkavitz said his company owns approximately 54
acres in Quantum Park. They doubled their investment in Boynton Beach over the past two
years because of the level of cooperation and service they received from the City staff. He is
very proud to be in Boynton Beach. He has not always agreed with City staff but in every case,
the dealings have always been professional, courteous and timely.
Eric .lohnson of Quantum Park, said he was excited to be a part of the City.
Terry Iiames, 656 NW 1't Avenue, said that she has not received an answer to her question at the
last City Commission meeting regarding Krispy Kreme and the 24-hour drive through window. She
also suggested that the fate of the 70-year old high school be placed on the November ballot as a
referendum. This building could play a big part in downtown Boynton Beach,
Assistant City Attorney Cirullo said that the City's review and approval of the Krispy Kreme
development is in legal proceedings and as long as litigation is pending, the City cannot respond to
her question.
Herb Suss, resident of Boynton Beach, commented on the following:
· Thanked Wilfred Hawkins for the written reply he received regarding his suggestion on
televising Commission meetings.
· Thanked all the Commissioners for their donations for books at the Library.
· Asked whether it was feasible on Saturdays and Sundays, during the season, to reserve a
certain amount of parking spaces at the beach for City residents who have beach decals.
· Said that the City is moving too fast on apartment development. They will tax the Police and
Fire Departments and our water supply.

3. Presentation by the Boynton Beach Sister Cities International Steering
Committee - Jeanne Heavilin, Committee Chair
Jeanne Heavilin said that a steering committee was created at the November City
Commission/Chamber Workshop. The steering committee recommended 1)forming an independent
Boynton Beach Sister Cities Committee to advise and recommend sister cities activities and programs,
2)provide seed money and assistance to facilitate the organization and 3)incorporation of a sister
cities committee in Boynton Beach. This would be through private funding and fundraising. They are
not requesting any money. After the City and the Chamber of Commerce approve a sister cities
committee, bylaws would be provided for review and approval, officers elected and the committee
incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation.
Ms. Heavilin introduced members of the committee who were present. They were: Bob Ensler, Stormi
Norem, Ann Centi, Mayor Broening and liaison Dale Sugerman. She said that the committee is asking
for the Commission's endorsement to proceed with the recommendations.
Mayor Broening said that $1,000 for the start up would be required from the City and/or the Chamber
of Commerce. However, the intent is for the organization to be self-supporting.
City Manager Bressner said that if the Commission desires to pursue this matter, it would be
appropriate to have a resolution supporting this program. Tf there were to be any contribution, either
in funding or in-kind, that would be included as authorization within the resolution. We would also
request that the Chamber of Commerce adopt a similar resolution. The City resolution will be on a
future agenda.
Motion
Commissioner Ferguson moved to direct staff to proceed with the resolution.
Vice Mayor Weiland and carried unanimously.
Motion was seconded by
VT. PUBLZC HEARTNG: 6:30 P.M. OR AS SOON THEREAFTER AS THE AGENDA PERMZTS
Reduction of the Stormwater Utility rate charged to customers from $6.00 per ERU per
month to $5.00 per ERU per month (Proposed Ordinance No. 02-012)
City Manager Bressner said that the Public Hearing is to determine whether or not it is appropriate for
the Commission to consider a reduction of the Stormwater Utility rate from $6.00 per ERU per month
to $5.00 per ERU per month. Rates for commercial and industrial properties, which are calculated on
a square footage bases, would be reduced approximately 17%. Staff believes that funds of
approximately $5.4 million are available in the Utility Fund for stormwater projects and that would
allow for a reduction in the stormwater ERU. There had been discussion of a further reduction in the
rates. However, the recommendation was to consider that in the future when we have information on
other costs, such as water utility improvements and the Everglades restoration. By the .luly budget
meetings, staff should know whether it would be possible to go a next step lower in rates.
Mayor Broening opened the Public Hearing.

March 19, 2002
Dom Desiderio, 2755 S. Federal Highway, appreciated any relief that the small businesses could
receive on the stormwater rate. He said that on September 30, 2001, the accountant said there was
$90 million in the combined utility fund. On November 6, 2001, Dale Sugerman said there was $62.5
million in the fund and if the City completed every stormwater project in three years, the City would
have $16.5 million. On .~anuary 23, 2002, there was a statement in the paper that said there was
$55.8 million in the fund. Mr. Desiderio said that if these numbers are correct, the fund has dropped
$35 million and the fund would be broke by the end of the year. He questioned the bid for Pond B
and was advised to meet with Assistant City Manager Sugerman.

Quintus Greene, Development Director, said that he is bringing to the Commission a staff
recommendation that has gone through the CRA. The overlay district was established in June
2000 and includes properties fronting Martin Luther King Boulevard (10th Avenue) between
Federal Highway and Seacrest Boulevard. It was established to help facilitate development by
providing different standards for that strip. The CRA recently voted to expand the CRA core
area to encompass the IVlartin Luther King Overlay District. Staff proposed, and CRA agreed, to
put in place the same shared parking criteria in this Overlay District that exists in the Central
Business District. In addition, staff is bringing forward for Commission consideration another
criteria of the Central Business District, which is a 50% reduction in the required number of
parking spaces. These two recommendations will help spur development.
Notion
Commissioner Ferguson moved to authorize staff to prepare an ordinance to include CRA and
staff recommendations regarding shared parking and a 50% reduction in the required number of
parking spaces. IVlotion was seconded by Commissioner McCray and carried unanimously.

A) Our house was built in 1925. The finished grade on most of the south side property line is 2'4" higher than that of the city
and our surrounding neighbors.
B) There is a retaining wall which existed when we bought the property. The retaining wall is a runway/launching ramp for
;hildren. It is also a fa~'ite sitting area for assorted indi,,iduals After the sun goes down it is not uncommon to ~iew ladies
soliciting and men selling their products from our retaining wall. We frequently pick up beer bottles and other trash that has been
eft on our lawn from the night time ~isitors. Two homes in our area (one down the street the other directly across the street) were
'ecently burglarized. The individual who robbed the house down the road dumped a stolen TV and bicycle in our yard in his efforts
:o elude the police.
C) The granting of this variance would only giw Us what e~,'Tene else has ~ is entitled to ha~e; a reasenable bacder to insure
safety, PdvacY and protection.
D) Denying our request would place us at risk for liability suits, promote undesirable activity in our neighborhood and depri~
~s of our dght to a reasonable-barrier.
E) A 4 foot high fence is allowed from finished grade. We are asking for a 3' 8" stucco wall matching the texture and color of
]ur le running the length of the south side property line minus the 25 foot set back. We would like to continue that height for
he hot set back on the west side property line. Prior to beginning this project an old 6 foot high wooden fence ran along the
.~nti~ ~st side.
F)'The completion of this project is in no way detrimental to the pubic welfare. It will cause no traffic concern and will.~
~liminate many safety issues. Approval of this variance will complete an improvement project suited to our 1925 Mission style
~ome. We ha~e taken out a home equity loan to fund this endea~r. This is a substantial imestment in our home, neighborhood
~.nd hence this city.

IMPORTANT
This matter requires your immediate and urgent action!!
It has, come to our attention that the assistant city manager, Mr. Wilfred
Hawkins has plans to renovate and beautify an east section of Boynton
Beach.
This project is called The Heart of Bo.vnton Beach Project.
, This project will have a direct effect on ourproperty values!!
Here is why: There is a subdivision on the east side 0fBoynton called
Cheri'y Hill, which can also be described as a Public Housing Enclave.
Information gathered so far suggests an attempt to land swap with the
Homing Authorities for the development of a'46 um't housing project.
The property planned for this swap is OUR BACK YARD!!
They want to build new public housing on the property (parcels owned by the
Public Housing Dev. and The City of Boynton Beach)directly behind
Westside Baptist Church on Nickles Road. The property is divided by a canal
that runs east-west off of Lawrence Road for Section L
If you cannot visualize this area take a short drive and agree it is much too
close to our homes.
Cherry Hill currently holds one of the cities highest rates of unemployment at
8.2%. This rate is double that of the entire city of 4.:5% and 4.4% for Palm
Beach County. The area is also know for its 'high crime rate and is infiltrated
with drug and gang related violence. Again, this is the area the city wants to
relocated to OUR BACK YARD!Il!
If these plans concern you please join in our efforts to prevent this from
happening.
Our surrounding developments such as Cypress Creek, Tropical Breeze and
the newest, Artesa have also shown similar concern.
Thank you for your ser/ous attention in this matter!

~eing written to voice my displeasure with the City of Boynton Beach's proposed plan to
housing in my neighborhood. According to an article in the March 11, 2002 Sun-
undenvay and is pan of the plan to renovate and beautify the Cherry t-~
my family to Avondale Pines in West Boynton Beach in 1983, it was due in large part
~eaceful, serene atmosphere that the area provided. Since then, urban sprawl has taken
?the areas along Lawrence and Old Boynton Roads, where I used to take my children to
ricte bicycles, and just enjoy nature Now according to newspaper reports, the last remaiffmg
area within walking distance to my home is being considered for construction ora 46 unit
'eot. It has always been my undlerstanding over the past 19 years that this land was
for the construction ora park for the children of West Boymon to enjoy. With all the land
in the Cherry Hills section of East Bo3rnton, could you please explain why one of our last
areas in West Boynton Beacl~i ~ been chosen to be striPPed of wildlife and pine
~ construction of a concrete mad ~asphalt jungle. While your plan to renovate and beautify
:~s is most gallant, our children Vqll gain nothing by the addition of this type of destruction to
A neighborhoc~d that some residents have fought to keep safe and peaceful
and wildlife for over 20 years.
your plans to destroy the la~t ,area of peace and tranqui~ty aStbJn walking distance to

Statement by Mayor Broening
of the City of Boynton Beach, Florida
Concerning Nickles Road Site
Good evening. The City Commission meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month.
Our procedure for business is to have the public audience at the beginning of the meeting.
Tonight we will follow that custom with one minor change. I would like to comment on an
item that I know a number of you wish to make comments on. My purpose in doing so is to
share some facts regarding the issue with you so that you are aware of the City's position
on this matter.
The article that appeared in the Sun-Sentinel on March 11, 2002 was an article that
followed previous stories on the Heart of Boynton in both the Palm Beach Post and the
Sun-Sentinel. The press has given the Heart of Boynton project a great deal of attention
and justifiably so as it is a very important project for the City.
However, one sentence in the March 11,2002 article seems to have caused a furor in an
area of unincorporated Boynton Beach near Lawrence Road. '11 read the sentence from
the article and then comment on it:
"To revamp the Cherry Hills pubfic housing area, the City hopes to persuade the Palm
Beach County Housing Authority to agree to a land swap. The authority which owns the
public housing development (at Cherry Hills), would give that to the City in exchange for
vacant land the City owns just west of the Boynton Beach Marl off Lawrence Road." Source:
"Some Families Fear Losing Homes to Boynton Redevelopment.' Sun-Sentinel Page lB.
As a practical matter, relocation of residents from the Cherry Hills area to this area is not
viable for several reasons:
1. The time frame for the City's implementation of the Heart of Boynton is faster than
any development approvals, if such approval is granted, for this property.
It is likely that current residents of Cherry Hills would not want to relocate to the
Nickels Road property. Our discussions with residents in Cherry Hills have focused
on developing neighborhood associations that would support relocation of the
residents to locations in the environs of Cherry Hills or other locations closer to
work, schools and family.
-2-
The Heart of Boynton Plan (page 45) calls for the City of Boynton Beach to work
with the Palm Beach County Housing Authority to issue what are called "Section 8
Certificates" to the residents of Cherry Hills. These certificates allow the residents
to move to quality housing in neighborhoods they wish to move to.
In many cases the residents of Cherry Hills will want to move back to their old
neighborhood when replacement owner occupied housing of better quality is
available. We want them back because they have been contributing to the
Boynton Beach community for many years.
No change in the City's own land use plan for the west Boynton property is contemplated.
The City's comprehensive land use plan for this neighborhood was approved by the City
Commission on November 7, 1989 as Ordinance 89-38 which calls for this area to be
developed as Iow-density single-family and open space. Specific to the City property, let
me read the section of the plan as follows:
"The City should oppose development on the vacant portion of Boynton West subdivision
which exceeds densities on the adjacent developed portion, exceeds a 2-story building
height, or which would alter the single-family character of the area. A possible use of the
vacant property in this area would be a neighborhood park, on the property owned by the
City, or a district park, if the property owned by the City were to be combined with the other
large vacant parcels in the vicinity."
Accordingly, the City's long-range plan for the area is stated as above because this is a
policy statement approved by the City Commission. This does not preclude development
of the property as low-density single family, nor does it preclude the Palm Beach County
Housing Authority from developing the property they own.
I cannot speak to any plans the Housing Authority has for the property they own. I
personally have not seen any plans nor can I confirm that any plan exists. The Housing
Authority property is in county jurisdiction as is the City property. Any plans would be
subject to the Palm Beach County review process.
The Palm Beach County land use designation for the Nickels Road properties is
medium density residential and the zoning for the property is currently RS, which is
residential single family.
However, as a practical matter, the timing of any development of the Housing Authority
property and proposed use of City owned property for uses other than open space or park
use is subject to Palm Beach County zoning and also should follow the City's own
comprehensive land plan.
-3-
The City has had discussions off and on for the past six years with the Housing Authority
as to the use of their property and the City's in this area. However, these discussions have
been at a staff level only. As a matter of fact, the City Commission has not acted on any
specific proposal for any use of the City owned property in this area. The City Commission
will not act on any proposal to change any planned use of any property owned by the City
or in its jurisdiction until the facts are presented and reviewed, Palm Beach County
consulted and the residents in the area involved.
Respectfully,
Gerald Broening, Mayor
City of Boynton Beach, Florida

Cherry Hills Public Housing
Cherry Hills is the single largest impediment to the redevelopment of
Heart of Boynton. The area is a major center of crime, the aesthetics
are bad, and the general image is that of a "hood" which permeates the
entire area. Conversations are being held with the Palm Beach Public
Housing Authority to enable the City to take over the Project. Under
that plan, residents wouM be given Section 8 vouchers to obtain housing
elsewhere, and the City would demolish the projects buiMings and
according to this redevelopment plan replat the area to accommodate a
large parcel size. As discussed earlier and again in the next section,
with the removal Rf Cherry Hills, a new neighborhood will be developed
- "Poinciana Heights" using both the magnet Poinciana Elementary
School and a redeveloped Wilson Center as its center-piece.

There has been no substantive recent discussion of this project with the Housing Authority. The last
discussions of a very general nature occurred in 2000 that were not conclusive or productive.
Any use of City property whether in the City or the county is a policy issue for the Commission to
review.
We have been receiving calls from the residents in the unincorporated area expressing outrage over a
"done deal." There have been no discussions, that I'm aware of, that has forwarded the idea of
relocating 46, 42 or any number from Cherry Hills.
The residents requesting your position on the matter will probably contact you. My suggestion is
that you may wish to respond by saying that the entire Heart of Boynton project is a major
undertaking by the City that will need to involve many people before any decisions are made. This
is not going to happen overnight and no deals have been made. The City staff does not operate that
way.

Some families fear losing homes to
Boynton redevelopment
By Stella M. Ch~vez
Staff Writer
March 11, 2002
BOYNTON BEACH · Sitting on the porch of the house his grandfather built 44
years ago, Michael Roberts remembers all the children and grandkids raised in
the three-bedroom, one-bath house -- 40 children who have darted in and out of
the doors and played in the yard.
Roberts, 43, worries that the bluish-gray house won't be around for future
generations.
It stands within a roughly one-square-mile redevelopment zone in the city's
northeast side where officials want to tear down the 46-unit Cherry Hills
public housing enclave and make other improvements to the long neglected area.
But while some of the 3,166 residents of that zone want the improvements, they
also fear bulldozers will claim their homes.
Officials say the overall project, called the Heart of Boynton, encompasses
everything from landscaping to rebuilding homes to public programs. That, city
officials say, can only improve the area.
'I like the area, and I hope they would do something for it," Roberts said.
But would he sell his home for the greater good?
"I don't think so, because it's our family home. I'm still here. My dad's
still here. Everybody was raised here," he said. "I got a lot of memories
about this place."
The targeted redevelopment zone an area of about a square mile bounded on the
north by the C-16 canal, on the south by Northeast Third Avenue, on the west
by Interstate 95 and on the east by railroad tracks.
It's also an area that has an unemployment rate of 8.2 percent, almost double
that of the whole city at 4.5 percent and 4.4 percent for Palm Beach County.
Under the plan, still in its infancy, resident involvement is key.
Neighborhood associations are already springing up in an attempt to get people
involved. Residents agreed to rename the area Poinciana Heights, dropping the
Cherry Hills moniker to give themselves a fresh start.
But that spurt of activism has not negated the biggest fear: losing homes and
being forced out of the neighborhood. -
America's Gateway to the Gulfstream
Wilfred Hawkins, assistant city manager, said that won't happen but
understands the fear.
"That kind of reaction is kind of expected," said Hawkins,' who is black.
"Black people, in general, might be suspicious of government. But we're not
trying to push anyone out."
However, Hawkins said people living in Section 8 subsidized housing might be
given vouchers to help them find homes elsewhere. The preference, he said, is
to bring them back to better housing in Poinciana Heights.
"These people who need better housing can get better housing," Hawkins said.
"The majority of Cherry Hills that we're talking about is substandard housing,
and you can't convince me that they don't deserve better.
"I cannot understand why anyone would not want a fellow human being to live in
better conditions."
But what if homeowners overwhelmingly reject the city's direction? Hawkins
said it's too early for the city to determine a final direction.
However, it's not unusual for cities to take properties under emmnent domain,
a legal process during which governments try to show individual rights are at
odds with the common good.
Initially, the pro]ecE was seen as a multiyear process that would demolish
Cherry Hills public housing, replacing it with single-family homes. It also
calls for the redevelopment of the Wilson Center, continuing Palmetto Park
west of Seacrest Boulevard and transforming Seacrest into "a landscaped median
highway ... one of the gateways to the community."
The plan envisions townhouses, condominiums, commercial development and
linking that area to the ciEy's central business district.
Residents were involved throughout the development of these plans.
To revamp the Cherry Hills Dublic housinq area, the city hopes to persuade th~
Palm Beach County Housinq Authority to agree to a land swap. The authority,
which owns the public housinq development, would qive that to the city in
exchanqe for vacant land the city owns just west of the Boynuon Beach Mall off
Lawrence Road. (This is the section of the article that the residents are
upset about. KB)
Built in the 1950s for migrant farm workers, the small, pastel-colored
duplexes of Cherry Hills are outdated. Made of concrete block, some buildings
lack adequate insulation and central heating and air conditioning.
That area also has had to fight off a decades-old image. In the 1980s, pizza
delivery workers refused ~o go there. Police patrolled with two officers per
car, rather than the usual one. Streetlights were knocked out, and rocks,
boUttes and glass littered the streets.
Through the years, officials worked on fixing the problems. Pizza delivery is
now possible, and officers are not intimidated as they drive down well-lighted
streets.
"It's nom the same world," Police Chief Marshal Gage said.
America's Gateway to the Gulfstream

Greg Brown, 25, who lives with his aun5 in a public housing apartment, knows
the overall plan is good for the area.
"I~ all depends on what they're going to do with the people who stay in the
apartments," Brown said. "If they're going to get rid of the people and move
them ou5 somewhere where they don'5 have nowhere to go, it would be a problem.
"But if they're going to make the houses affordable for the people that live
in these aparsmenEs, it's OK with me."

This matter requires your immediate and urgent action!!
It has come to our attention that the assistant city manager, Mr. Wilfred
Hawkins has plans to renovate and beautify an east section of Boynton
Beach.
This project is called The Heart of Bo.vnton Beach Project
This project will have a direct effect on ourproperty values.t!
Here is why: There is a subdivision on the east side of Boynton called
Cheri'y Hill, which can also be described as a Public Housing Enclave.
Information gathered so far suggests an attempt to land swap with the
Housing Authorities for the development of a 46 unit housing project.
The property planned for this swap is OUR BACK YARD!!
They want to build new public housing on the property (parcels owned by the
Public Housing Dev. and The City of Boynton Beach)directly behind
Westside Baptist Church on Nickles Road. The property is divided by a canal
that hms east-west offofLawrence Road for section I.
If you cannot visualize this area take a short drive and agree it is much too
close to our homes.
Cherry Hill currently holds one of the cities highest rates of unemployment at
8.2%. This rate is double that of the entire city of 4.5% and 4.4% for Palm
Beach County. The area is also know for its-high-crime rate and is infiltrated
with drug and gang related violence. Again, this is the area the city wants to
relocated to OUR BACK YARD! ! ! !
If these plans concern you please join in our efforts to prevent th/s from
happ~ing.
Our surrounding developments such as Cypress Creek, Tropical Breeze and
the newest, Artesa have also shown similar concern.
Thank you for your serious attention in this matter!
We strongly urge you to voice your concern
immediately to the follOwing:

RE: The Heart of Boynton Beach Project
Mr. Gil!igan,
Thank you for contacting me to get the facts. First, I am a local governmenu
administrator working to provide services and mmprove Boynton Beach. The Heart of Boynton
Master Plan was adopted by the city Commission with months of community workshops and
public hearings. It is a plan that is "championed" by many people, not just me.
Secondly, the Heart of Boynton Plan zs available and many people have obtained the
report. You can pick up a copy from the City Manager's Office at City Hall. The city is
working on posting plans of this type in the near future on the internet for public
reference.
I cannon speak to any plans the Housing Authority has for the property they own. I
personally have not seen any plans nor can I confirm that any plan exists. The Housing
Authority property is in county jurisdiction as is the city propersy. Any plans would be
subject to the Palm Beach County reveiw process.
Third, the Heart of Boynton Plan implementation is in its infancy stages. THERE HAS
BEEN NO FORMAL DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF PALM BEACH
COUNTY. It will be at least a year before the city plan for the subject Cherry Hill area
.~s. completed. THE PURPOSE OF THE HEART OF BOYNTON PLA/~ IS NOT TO RELOCATE CHERRY HILL
3IDENTS TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD! The Heart of Boynton Redevelopment Plan goal is to
developed the target area and keep as many residents in the area as possible with
---astically improved housing and infrastructure.
Lasm, I can not speak for the Housing Authority, but I would not hesitate to say
that the Housing Authority administrators would want to plan a development that would be
compatible to the existing housing stock in your neighborhood. Furthermore, if the City
collaborates with the Housing Authority on any project, the city would ssrongly encourage
the Housing Authority to maintain the integrity of your neighbDrhood with single family
type housing stock.
In closing, I hope I have shed some light on this issue. I have spoken with two
other residents in your nezghborhood and shared the same ~nformation with them. The city
will meet with your neighborhood when and if any plans with the Housing Authority are
developed. You may share this e-mail with your neighbors as I have outlined the facts to
date. I have no problem with speaking to anyone about this issue. Again, thank you for
wanting to get the facts.

Dear Sir:
Due to my interest in the location of the property alledgedly to be
used in the re-location of low-income residents from the crime-ridden area of
ChSrry Hill, located in eastern Boynton Beach, said to be the site of a
re-development project known as The Heart of Boynton Beach Project,
championed by you, I would like to know the whereabouts of any information
pertaining to this matter. I have searched local websites and sources, and
~e found nothing. This matter will be brought up at the city commission
eting scheduled for March 19th, 2002. I wish to be objective in my judgment
where to place my support, but I have not been able to find any objective
~z~lformation. Any information you can provide me and others interested in this
matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Wilfred - Just to let you know that we (Peter, Alan, Wayne & I ) are currently working on
having all the city's major projects available to citizens on the Internet. I spoke with
Peter this morning and informed him that the HOB project should be our first priority
given the amount of interest we have recently received. Peter will have a timeframe for
me tomorrow for when it will be ready, but it should not take longer than a week to get it

is being written to voice my displeasure with the City of Boynton Beach's proposed plan to
housing in my neighborhood. According to an article in the March 11, 2002 Sun-
well underway and is part of the plan ~o renovate and beau,tiFy the Cherry/-~
Beack
my family to Avondale Pines in West Boynton Beach in 1953, it was due in large pan
serene atmosphere thai the area provided. Since then, urban sprawl has taken
of the areas along Lawrence and Old Boymon Roads, where I used to take my children to
ride bicycles, and just en~loy nature. Now according to newspaper reports, the last remaining
;.area within walking distance to my home is being considered for construction ora 46 unit
c~'t. It has always been my understanding over the past 19 years that this land was
for the construction ora park for the children of West Boyraon to enjoy. With all the land
the Cherry I-rdls section of East Boymon, could you please explain why one of our last

' I-Fills is most gallant, our children will gain nothing by the addition of this type of destruction to
neighborhood. A neighborhood that some residents have fought to keep safe and peaceful
and wildlife for over 20 years.
your plans to destroy the last area of peaco and tranquiihy witbdm walk~g distance to
in the West Boynton Beach area. Our children and wildlife deserve that much.
7.e. West Boynton Subdivision. South of Bovnton Canal
This area consists of an older platted subdivisions and one replatted section. There are also about 45 acres
of undeveloped property, 13 acres of which are owned by the City of Boynton Beach, and 8 acres which are
owned by the Palm Beach County Housing Development Corporation. The existing developed area consists
of single-family housing at a densi~r of about 4.5 dwelling units per acre. Annexation of the developed
portion of Boynton West Subdivision, on a lot-by-lot basis would be impractical, however, annexation by
referendum or other legal means should be pursued. Annexation of the undeveloped portion is unlikely due
to the existence of the developed lots which intervene. The City should oppose development on the vacant
portion of Bovnton West subdivision which exceeds densities on the adjacent developed portion, exceeds a
2-story building height, or which would alter the single-family character of the area. A possible use of the
vacant property in this area would be a neighborhood park, on the property owned by the City, or a district
park, if the property owned by the City were to be combined with the other large vacant parcels in the
vicinitv. To the extent that these properties are reserved for or developed as parks, they should be placed in
the Recreational land use and zoning categories. Since septic tank pollution is a problem in this area, the
City should attempt to provide both water and service to these properties, and should consider placing these
properties in a special assessment district, if annexed, or make a similar arrangement with Palm Beach
County until such time as annexation occurs. Any annexation which does occur in this area, however,
should also include the adjacent rights-of-way for Lawrence Road and Old Boynton Road. Commercial
zoning should not be permitted along Old Boynton Road, in order to prevent the aesthetic and traffic safety
problems that would accompany strip commercial development. Commercial development would also
create and ~ntrusion into the single-family neighborhood which lies to the north.
The Heart of Boynton Redevelopment Master Plan
Heart of Boynton contains 18 churches covering a wide range of denominations. The
location of these churches in the study area has both positive and negative impacts.
Churches represent an important source of leadership if church leaders can form an active
Ministerial Alliance (which has yet to develop). On the negative side, there are probably
too many churches located in such a small area. The churches do not contribute
advalorem or TIF moneys to the CRA and several churches are in violation of parking
requirements and other LDRs and several are in need of major facade improvements.
Constraints are largely confined to a limited number of issues: (1) Cherry Hills Public
Housing (and its image to the entire area), (2) Boynton Terrace, (3) Small commercial
businesses catering to these two developments (EZ Mart, etc.), lack of developable
acreage, and (5) upkeep of vacant parcels and general code enforcement.
Cherry Hills is the single largest impediment to the redevelopment of Heart of Boynton.
The area is a major center of crime, the aesthetics are bad, and the general image is that of
a "hood" which permeates the entire area. Conversations are been held with the Palm
Beach Public Housing Authority to enable the City to take over the Project. Under that
plan, residents would be given Section 8 vouchers to obtain housing elsewhere, and the
City would demolish the projects buildings and according to this redevelopment plan replat
the area to accommodate a large parcel size. As discussed earlier and again in the next
section, with the removal of Cherry Hills, a new neighborhood will be developed
"Poinciana Heights" using both the magnet Poinciana Elementary school and a
redeveloped Wilson Center as its center-piece.
Boynton Terrace is a project based Section 8 Housing Project located on either side of
Seacrest Boulevard. As mentioned earlier, the western complex does not fit into the single
family neighborhood of the historic Boynton Hills development. The complex is under
pressure by HUD to improve its facilities and overall management.
Several small commercial businesses (including EZ Mart, Cherry Hill Store, etc.) primarily
serve Cherry Hills and Boynton Terrace and serve as major loitering areas and centers for
