PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 94-314
Agenda Memorandum for
October 18, 1994 city Commission Meeting
TO: Carrie Parker, City Manager
FROM: Tambri J. Heyden, Planning and Zoning Director~
DATE: october 13, 1994
SUBJECT: Annexation Program - Knollwood Groves
Analysis of Business Characteristics
Attached you will find two tables with information related to the
Knollwood Groves property which staff produced pursuant to City
Commission directive generated during the public hearing in June.
Each of the two tables is described as follows:
Table #1 indicates the County's status (e.g. permitted,
grandfathered, or prohibited) of each of the major aspects of the
Knollwood Groves business. Staff inventoried the principle aspects
from a visit to the site in September, and determined status from
the County which in part, is based on the original special
exception approved by the County in 1983. As indicated on Table
#1, Palm Beach County considers all aspects of this business either
permitted by the special exception or grandfathered. For
comparison, staff also evaluated these aspects for compliance with
the City's Code of Ordinances and Comprehensive Plan. This
evaluation indicates how these uses will be considered under the
City's regulations once the property is annexed. Lastly, Table #1
includes recommendations as to whether or not Code changes should
be made that accommodate those grandfathered aspects.
Table #2 indicates the current signs used at Knollwood Groves, as
well as the conforming/nonconforming status of each sign in Palm
Beach County. The information on Table #2 was collected during a
visit to the site in September, and from the Code Enforcement
Division of Palm Beach county.
Please distribute these tables in preparation for the October 18,
1994 meeting of the City Commission when the annexation of this
property will again be discussed.

Agenda Memorandum for
October 3, 1994 City Commission Meeting
TO: carrie Parker, city Manager
FROM: Tambri J. Heyden, Planning and Zoning Director ~
DATE: September 29, 1994
SUBJECT: Annexation Program - Phase 2, Group 1 and Hunter's Run
Commercial Tract
Ordinances for Annexation, Land Use Element Amendment,
Text Amendment, and Rezoning
Attached please find the above-referenced ordinances being
processed in connection with the properties to be annexed as Phase
2, Group 1 of the Annexation Program (see Attachment "A" for
ordinances) . As has been advertised in the newspapers, first
reading and second reading of these ordinances are to be conducted
on October 3, 1994 and October 18, 1994, respectively. These
requests were discussed and approved for transmittal to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) at the June 21, 1994 City
Commission. Staff transmitted these requests to the DCA July 6,
1994. The DCA completed its preliminary review in 45 days, and
having no comments determined that no formal review would be
required, and notified the City that the adoptior process could now
occur.
Also attached you will find documents related to the Knollwood
Groves property. You will recall during the transmittal hearing
that adjacent property owners indicated concerns related to certain
aspects of the Knollwood Groves agricultural and retail business.
In response, staff was directed to determine the County's status
(e.g. permitted, grandfathered, or prohibited) for the major
aspects of the Knollwood Groves business. As indicated by the
attached letter and excerpt from the minutes of the Palm Beach
County meeting at which the special exception for the existing
business was granted, Palm Beach County considers all aspects of
this business either permitted by the special exception or
grandfathered (see Attachment liB"). Lastly, staff has also
evaluated these aspects for compliance with the City's Code of
Ordinances and Comprehensive Plan (see Attachment "C" for Code and
Plan excerpts) . This evaluation indicates how these uses will be
considered under the City's regulations once the property is
annexed. For comparison, this informat::'on, along with
recommendations regarding Code changes related to the three (3)
grandfathered (legal nonconforming) uses identified is indicated on
the table within Attachment "D". The recommended Code changes
could be incorporated as part of the current land development
regulation amendments in progress, since they do not affect the
Comprehensive Plan.
Please schedule the attached ordinances for the upcoming City
Commission meeting on October 3, 1994 (First Reading), and for the
October 18, 1994 meeting (Final Reading).

Re: Knollwood Groves (PCN 00-42-45-13-00-000-1130)
Zoning Petition 83-99
This letter is in response to your request for information on
Knollwood Groves, located on the southwest corner of Lawrence Road
and Knollwood Road, adjacent to the municipal boundaries of the city
of Boynton Beach.
Knollwood Groves is zoned Agricultural Residential CAR) and received
special exception approval to allow a "commercial citrus products
sales and service enterprise" in 1983 (Resolution R-83-1422
attached). In 1983 the property owner wanted to remove an existing
building and construct a new building on-site. Although the
agricultural sales and service uses had been on-site since 1930, a
special exception approval was required in order to obtain the
building permit.
The PBC Tax Collector's office has verified that the retail store on
site has been licensed for the sale of produce, plants, and giftware
since at least 198~. Aola Walden, Senior Compliance Office, stated
that there are n~ violations on the subject property and all
activities on-sita are either permitted by special exception
(ci trus, produce, giftware retail sales) or grand fa the red in as
accessory uses (tours and educational activities for tourists).
Staff research on Knollwood Groves has indicated the following:
1) The principal ues. ha$ been there since 1930 and is a valid
agricultural use 'which is encouraged in the Comprehensive
Plan. The operation is only seasonal and attracts tourism
to the area. All uses are contained Nithin the 30 acre
orange grove and do not adversely affect adjacent
properties.
2) There is not a definition in the Zoning Code for "commercial

citrus products sales and service enterprise"; therefore,
accessory uses are not restricted by the definition of the
use.
3) The special exception condi tions of approval do not
specifically restrict any related accessory uses for the
business operation. Minutes of the public hearing for the
special exception address the tours through the groves as
if they are a permitted accessory, and grandfathered use.
Staff's determination is that the agricultural and accessory uses
onsite are valid, minor nonconforming uses.
Should you have any questions or require further information, please
contact Kathleen Zeitler at 233-5226.

PROJECT DESIGN: The proposed building replacement will not affect.
the existing circulation routes which are adequate. However, a
revised site plan indicating parking for retail sales, employee
parking and necessary tabular, i.e., number of employees, building
square footage, etc., should be submitted prior to Site Plan Review
committee Meeting.
FINDINGS OF FACT
- The proposed Special Exception is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan since the use is related to on-site agricultural activity.
- The proposed Special Exception can be accommodated to the site
while meeting all property development regulations of the
Zoning Code.
- Since the commercial activity is enclosed by the existing orange
grove, the proposed use will not have any adverse impacts upon
surrounding properties.

MINUTES OF THE'PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 4, 1983
TIM LUNNEY: Special Exception to allow a commercial citrus products sales
and service enterprise on property located on the southwest corner of
the intersection of Knollwood Road and Lawrence Road. This is a "grand-
fathered" use and they would like to remove an existing wooden building and
put up a new building on this 30 acre citrus grove. Staff recommendation
is for approval subject to three conditions.
DWIGHT WEYANT: First, I would like to correct the name, this is Knoll-
wood Groves Inc., not Knollwood Orange Groves Inc., they are two different
companies. This operation has been here many years, basic commercial
operation on 30 acres. Necessity for this request came when applicant
applied for permit to build a new phase and office building. We are here
to legalize a Special Exception. We have no problem with Conditions 1.
and 3. We are here to discuss No.2. today. Along the north line ~
. .
of this property, running east and west is the proposed alignment of
Miner Road. Property owners feel this is a tremendous burden to us.
Five acres is too much to ask for only replacing a building. It will
eliminate many of our orange trees. As you can see, in the lighter
green areas, it will cut through a natural hammock most unique in
this area. It will take out 60-80 year old ficus trees. It will also
cut off wagon trips to show. the people these beautiful trees. We don't
think it is the right location for a through road servicing the Congress/
Military area. It is' too great a ,hardship to ask us to give up 108 ft.
TIM LUNNE~c Reason right"'of~way was requested is that is what is
called" for' 'on the .Thoroughfare Plan. Given context of what they are
requesting, is it or is it not reasonable to ask for dedication at this .
time? Take into account it is also one of the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan to preserve agricultural use in the area. What we
need are to make specific findings as to whether or not it should be
dedicated so as not set any general pregedents regarding' dedication.
JOHN CARROLL: Tim Lunney stated it is part of the Comprehensive Plan.
There is no automatic requirement for conveyance. As an alternative,
reservation for later dedication could also be impOsed .by the Board.
There is the County Attorney who has jest worked up an agreement where
it will be conveyed when the County is in a position to construct. '
MARVIN ROWLAND: Our conditions are stated.
TIM LUNNEY: We received a letter from Clayton Hutcheson, Cooperativ.e
Extension, requesting we dontt jeopardize this strip of orange groves
since agricultural lands are diminishing, he requests it be approved
without a reqi~fbr dedication and keep. the hammock which would also
be eliminated by construction of the road.
~OBERT~.S; (~epresenting Melrose Inc., owns property across Lawrence Rd.)
Our" concern is to the extent the granting of the Special Exception in
~act making legal this "grandfatheredlt use would permit expansion in
an increasing residential area. As a current Itgrandfathered" use the
commercial nature may not be intensified and granting the Special Excep~
tion would then allow for the expansion of the operations. We have no
~uarrel with replacing exis.ting buildings or similar. Further commercial
expans~on without hearing and without chance for further review might be
allowed.
COMMIS~IQNE~ RASNER: Would it be possible to restrict?
TIM LUNNEY: That is why they are here today, they would not be allowed
to expand more than shown and would have to come back to this Board
for any expansion.
BOB HUTZLER: I am a resident of Delray Beach, I am here representing
several members of the Palm Beach County Fa~ Bureau. I would like
to correct something we are interested in helping the Planning and
Zoni:ng Staff as. long as they don 'It interfere wi th agriculture. We think
Tim Lunney has done an admirable job and we are not here to bust your
chops. I would like to refer to second item, property location, southwest
corner of Rnollwood Road. There is no such thing as Knollwood Road.
This is a maintenance easement of the Lake Worth Drainage District.
If the road were built, it would intersect a dangerous section on
.Military'Trail and as it goes east it does go past through the property
o~ this- building here~ (indicating) across Boynton Beach and they are not
aware. of any right~of~way being proposed in this,area. Dos Lagos Condo
under, development by' Satter. I don ,.t know where this road goes. I am
as concerned as' anyone about the transportation needs of this County.
For your information, ~ mile to the south is S.W. 22nd Avenue that
crosses I~95. Several years ago we got into a discussion about certain
types of property in this County. This is. ,on-going agricul tural enter~
prise., is now, has been there for 25 years'. They are making extensive
improvements on the property, they need to stay a while. Traffic
anilystSj first of all, couldntt have 2,315 on Lawrence from Petition
No. b2~78, when you talk about this from Petitions in the past, that
has generated'new traffic. There is no new traffic.

. .
JOHN CARroLL:
Engineer.
I think that has to be discussed with Petitioner's
BOB HUTZLER: If this was petition.} for change in use, but there is no
change, I dontt see why when 10.( mile to the south you have a four-lane
road. I don't believe this will be built.
COMMISSIONER BAK'ER: There was a petition five months ago about filling
stations taking a lot of a man"s property at Southern and Haverhill.
,We made a deal where we wouldntt take it all at one time. What would
be your requirement for two~lane road?
JOHN CARROLL: 80 ft. but a more appropriate one would be an agreement
like the one for the gas station intersection on Northlake and Military.
JOHN CORBETT: Before Board took any action he signed an agreement to
dedicate on demand when road is built. If that was the case, it would
have to be restrictive covenant before the Commission taking any action.
JIMCHOBAN: 108 ft. for'alignment.
COMMISS'IONER 'BAKER: I would be in favor of that reserve covenant. I
wou~d like to set to 80 ft. They will probably be in a two-lane before
four~lane. I would like it to stay agricultural.
COMMISSIONER DELL: You got 600" frontage; 108t that would take almost
1/5 of the property.
COMMISSIONER HOLMES: Intent is to replace an existing building and it
triggered all this other stuff?
COMMISSIONER BAKER: Would Petitioner agree to reserving 80 ft. right-
of~way' when the County needed it?
BOB OCHS, MANAGER, KNOLLWOOD GROVES: No Sir.
TIM LUNNEY: Petitioner is not going to volunteer to reserve or give
it. The green area is the existing grove area.
COMMISSIONER BAKER: I asked for voluntary only when County wanted to
build the road and if they owned additional land they would have to
buy it.
BOB OCHS: If you are talking about two-lane, why not 22nd Street?
COMMISSIONER HASNER: We could place condition now there is nothing to
stop you from selling it tomorrow.
ALAN KURTIS: One of the problems faced by the County is that we don't
have suf~icient rights-of-way. There has bern up to now standard
request for right-of-way. It is unfortunate, in terms of the right-
of-way we are looking for ~hat the ultimate road right-of-way does
go into farmlands. It is a question whether public interest comes :
first or private. Our position is to protect interests of Palm Beach
County transporation needs. This is not something that comes as a
surprise to people who bought property bordering. I don't think we
have a choice.
BOB HUTZLER: You recall the Rubin Petition. Is that still active
petition?
ALAN KURTIS: That is still active.
BOB HUTZLER: Connector was made in that petition.
ALAN KURT~g: What needs to be determined is whether the Thoroughfare Plan
is going to be upheld or destroyed. This is a third party thing. They
are needs demonstrated in computer printouts. No one is trying to impact
someone who feels they are being victimized.
:MOTION by Commissioner Holmes, seconded by Commissioner Turney, to
recommend approval, with staff recommendations, of Petition No. 83...99
and deleting Condition No.2. Motion was lost 3...3, Commissioners Holmes,
Dell, Turney, in favor, Commissioners Hasner, Brown Baker dissenting.

. . .
COMMISSIONER BAKER: We are going to double population. We need
rights~f-way. I think it is unfair to take 20% of his property but
I would vote for 10% and I do feel we should have some conveyance.
We have always done this, we are setting a precedent by not asking
for right-of-way. We are going tc have a flood of people, I just feel
we should do it within reason. We are here to speak for, and help,
the citizens, of this County and property owners are certainly 'citizens,
but I feel we should look.out for all people.
COMMISSIONER HOLMES: Motion was made in relation to the fact that he
is asking only to replace an existing building with no further impact
to continue his business and I feel taking land without value of land
being increased is wrong and I still stand by that.
COMMISSIONER "TURNEY: I think it is the Comprehensive Plan and other
interests of the County to preserve agricultural. I think it is in-
consistent to penalize this agricultural use to require this dedication
and make agricultural pay for urbanization. I think to reflect comments
as far as if they want this property, if it ever became non-agricultural
use, they would then dedicate right-of-way.
COMMISSIONER HASNER: We have a Master Plan and we are going to stick to
it. To make options is not in keeping, or a good interpretation of the
plan, and that is the reason I found the way I did. I think the split
motion will have to go to the Board of County commission. We understand
~gricultural for...
JOHN CORBETT: Some kind of motion, even without recommendation on that
condition is in order.
TIM LUNNEY: I think it should be that you approve the petition but could
not come to a consensus on the right-of-way.
MOTION by Commissioner Holmes, seconded by Commissioner Turney, to
recommend approval, with clarifications of the concerns of the Board
as to reservation of some footage pertaining to right-of-way. Planning
Commission was unable to agree on Condition 2. Motion carried 6-0
CCommis-sioner Hollen absent).
CONDITIONS:
1. This development shall retain onsite 85% of the stormwater runoff
generated by a three (3) year storm per requirements of the Permit
. Section, Land Development Division.
2. (~lanning commission was unable to agree on the request for dedica-
tion of right-of-way for Miner Road.)
3, The developer shall contribute Three Thousand Four Hundred Seventy
Five Dollars ($3,475.00) toward the cost of ~eeting this project's
direct and identifiable impact, to be paid at the time of the building
permit.

This is in reference to Knollwood Groves and petition j83-99 to con-
struct a new agricultural building to replace one that is presently
inadequate. This additional facility would add to the viability of
their agricultural operation, helping to insure an efficient bus-
iness for years to come.
Apparently, it is the recommendation of the Engineering Department
that final approval for the structure be withheld until Knollwood
-Groves gives Palm Beach County a 1081 x 21481 strip on the north
side of their property for widening of Knol1wood Road. This might
be reasonable if they were putting in a housing development. Since
this isnlt the case, this doesn't seem a reasonable request.
With only 30 acres in the grove, the loss of this citrus will reduce
thei r product ive grove acreage by about .13 percent. About one-quarter
of the grove is in grapefruit and a good portion of this is in the
5.3 acres requested for widening of the road.
To sti11 satisfy the customer demand for grapefruit, they will have
to purchase more from other producers) to reta i1. Th i s means reduced
profits for Knollwood Groves and.a changed economic situation for them.
It would be my recommendation that the petition be approved without
the demand for the road right-of-way. As long as they are maintaining
a viable agricultural operation, which we should be encouraging, nothing
is going to change along Knollwood Road that would demand greater traffic
carrying capacity.
They also have a native hammock that would be impacted that is an asset
to them as they carry customers through the grove to pick fruit.

The Knollwood Groves is an establ'
market area which likely extends ~shed ?rove b~siness serving a
seasonal operation includes th 0 reglOna~ llmits. Their
(grown both on and off the pre:i::l~ of fru~ts and vegetables
~ourenirs, bak7d goods and other m~s~e~~~~:~~:rii;:~ts'T~~fts and
us ness also lncludes walking tours of the processi~ l~.
wagon tours of the ,groves, picnic tables and an eXhib{tf~~l~~;r~e
Americans and ~lor~da's natural environment featuring arts and
cra~ts, educatlonal lectures, and native animals such as the
alllgator al~ located within a natural hammock area on the
property. Slnce all characteristics of this grove business may not
be ~pecificallY permitted or addressed by the City'S Code of
Ordlnances, staff also recommends that the City consider a review
of the Agriculture District regulations for possible revisions
which would address the different aspects of this grove business.
It should be noted that complaints have been raised by adjacent
property owners which regard nonconforming signs and activities,
"alligator wrestling", the speaker from the wagon tour, noise from
truck traffic, and the noise created by an evening party held last
year. Staff has begun researching these issues and determined from
Code Enforcement 3nd the property owners that the nonconforming
signs have been removed or will be permitted, that the alligator
wrestling activity no longer occurs but rather the alligators are
only used in educational lectures and activities, and that the
evening activity was a one-time event which has not been repeated.
Although no citations have been recorded by the County,
nonconforming signs have been removed pursuant to the request of
Code Enforcement. staff is still attempting to determine whether
any aspects of this business are not permitted nor considered
legally nonconforming by Palm Beach County.
Based on this existing, established use, staff is recommending that
this property be shown as Agriculture on the Future Land Use Map,
and be rezoned to AG, Agriculture.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Development Board, with a vote of
5-1, recommended that this proposed amendment and rezoning be
denied.

RE:
TRAFFIC OBSERVATIONS - LAWRENCE ROAD
DATE:
The 1994 average traffic count on Lawrence Road between NW 22nd
Avenue (Gateway) and Hypoluxo has been reported to us by the County
to be 7972 trips. The current FDOT Level of Service Manual defines
the threshold traffic level for LOS D for 2 lane undivided streets
as 13,400 trips.
Those two numbers are important in studying Lawrence Road traffic
because the Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division has
informed Mr. Hall of this office that widening of two lane roads in
the County system is not seriously considered until LOS D is
reached. Lawrence Road is a County road.
The Traffic Division has also opined that about 1000 more units can
be occupied on Lawrence Road before LOS D is reached. Well over
1000 more units have been approved by either the City or County, as
follows:
l Lawrence Oaks 178 units
{.. Nautica I 177 units
(.. Nautica II 197 units
I- '-Me.:ldowwuod G.LOVe ( C1 k-d- Kno 11 wood~n..c;. 539 units
Fox Hollow (aka Manor Forest) 185 unbuilt units, est.
L- Sausalito Groves 164 unbuilt units, est.
/-- Jonathan's Grove 32 units
1.-. Lawrence Grove 75 unbuilt units, est.
/- Citrus Glen 20 unbuilt units, est.
J..- Citrus Park 113 units
TOTAL
1680 unoccupied units
The figure 1680 is not propounded to be exact, because each of the
entries marked "unbuilt units~ represents our estimate of how many
units remain to be occupied in uncompleted developments. Traffic
from occupied units appears in actual traffic counts totaling 7972
trips. We believe it is reasonable to predict that when all
unoccupied units in all listed developments are in place, the Level
of Service Standard will exceed LOS Standard E, which is 15,000
trips. LOS D will be reached when approximately 2/3 of the 1680
future units are occupied.
Engineering Division Memo No. 95-059
Traffic Observations - Lawrence Road
March 6, 1995
Page #2
We have been unable to obtain accurate estimates of revenue
collected from dwelling units now contributing to the 7972 trips on
Lawrence Road. If we assume 1600 dwelling units have generated
those trips, and the average traffic impact fee collected was $1500
per unit, the total fees generated to date exceed $2,400,000. The
total fees due from 1680 additional units will exceed $2,500,000,
representing a total at build-out of $5,000,000~ generated by these
developments to be spent in the immediate area. These numbers are
estimates, of course, and should be adjusted for traffic impact
fees generated by other users who pay such fees (commercial, etc.)
and those who don't (schools).
Our conclusion is that it is time for the County to begin planning
for widening of Lawrence Road so that when LOS D is reached, action
can be immediately implemented to begin construction. A four lane
undivided road will support 23,520 trips at LOS D, which is
adequate for all completed and currently proposed development along
Lawrence Road.

PROJECT DESIGN: The proposed building replacement will not affect
the existing circulation routes which are adequate. However, a
revised site plan indicating parking for retail sales, employee
parking and necessary tabular, i.e., number of employees, building
square footage, etc., should be submitted prior to Site Plan Review
Committee Meeting.
FINDINGS OF FACT
- The proposed Special Exception is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan since the use is related to on-site agricultural activity.
- The proposed Special Exception can be accommodated to the site
while meeting all property development regulations of the
Zoning Code.
- Since the commercial activity is enclosed by the existing orange
grove, the proposed use will not have any adverse impacts upon
surrounding properties.
----~------------------------------------------------------------------
STAFF RRCOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval subject to the following conditions;
1. This development shall retain 9nsite 85% of the stormwater runoff
generated by a three (3) year storm per requirements of the Permit
Section, Land Development Division.
2. The property owner shall convey for the ultimate right-of-way of
Miner Road, 108 feet south of the Lake Worth Drainage L~20 Canal
south right-of-way line, approximately an adqitional 108 feet within
90 days of approval; conveyance must be accepted by Palm Beach County
prior to issuance of first building permit.
3. The developer shall contribute Three Thousand Four Hundred Seventy
Five Dollars ($3,475.00) toward the cost of meeting this project.s
direct and identifiable impact, to be paid at the time of the building
permit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
MINUTES OF THE "PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF AUGUST 4, 1983
TIM LUNNEY: Special Exception to allow a commercial citrus products sales
and service enterprise on property located on the southwest corner of
the intersection of Knollwood Road and Lawrence Road. This is a "grand-
fathered" use and they would like to remove an existing wooden building and
put up a new building on this 30 acre citrus grove. staff recommendation
is for approval subject to three conditions.
DWIGHT WEYANT: First, I would like to correct the name, this is Knoll-
wood Groves Inc., not Knollwood Orange Groves Inc., they are two different
companies. This operation has been here many years, basic commercial
operation on 30 acres. Necessity for this request came when applicant
applied for permit to build a new phase and office building. We are here
to legalize a Special Exception. We have no problem with Conditions 1.
and 3. We are here to discuss No.2. today. Along the north line ~
, .
of this property, running east and west is the proposed alignment of
Miner Road. Property owners feel this is a tremendous burden to us.
Five acres is too much to ask for only replacing a building. It will
eliminate many of our orange trees. As you can see, in the lighter
green areas, it will cut through a natural hammock most unique in
this area. It will take out 60-80 year old ficus trees. It will also
cut off wagon trips to show. the people these beautiful trees. We don't
think it is the right location for a through road servicing the Congress/
Military area. It is' too great a ,hardship to ask us to give up 108 ft.
TIM LUNNE~c Reason right-of~~ay was requested is that is what is
called for'on the .Thoroughfare Plan. Given context of what they are
requesting, is it or is it not reasonable to ask for dedication at this -
time? Take into account it is also one of the recommendations of the
Comprehensive Plan to preserve agricultural use in the area. What we
need are to make specific findings as to whether or not it should be
dedicated so as not set any general precedents regarding'dedication.
JOHN CARROLL: Tim Lunney stated it is part of the Comprehensive Plan.
There is no automatic requirement for conveyance. As an alternative,
reservation for later dedication could also be impOsed by the Board.
There is the County Attorney who has jest worked up an agreement where
it will be conveyed when the County is in a position to construct. '
MARVIN ROWLAND: Our conditions are stated.
TIM LUNNEY: We received a letter from Clayton Hutcheson, Cooperative
Extension, requesting we dontt jeopardize this strip of orange groves
since agricultural lands are diminishing, he requests it be approved
without a regi~fb~ dedication and keep. the hammock which would also
be eliminated by construction of the road.
~OBER?MAAS; (~epresenting Melrose Inc., owns property across Lawrence Rd.)
Our concern is to the extent the granting of the Special Exception in
tact making legal this "grandfathered" use would permit expansion in
an increasing residential area. As a current "grandfathered" use the
commercial nature may not be intens'ified and granting the Special Excep...
tion would then allow for the expansion of the operations. We have no
<I.uarre1 with rep1acrng exis.ting buildings or similar. Further commercial
expansi:on wi.thout hearing and without chance for further review might be
allowed.
COMMISSIONE~ HASNER: Would it be possible to restrict?
TIM LUNNEY: That is why they are here today, they would not be allowed
to expand more than shown and would have to come back to this Board
for any expansion.
BOB HUTZLER: I am a resident of De1ray Beach, I am here representing
several members of the Palm Beach County Fa~ Bureau. I would like
to correct something we are interested in helping the Planning and
Zonrng Staff as long as they don "t interfere with agriculture. We think
Ttm Lunney has done an admirable job and we are not here to bust your
chops. I would like to refer to second item, property location, southwest
corner of Kno11wood Road. There is no such thing as Kno11wood Road.
This is a maintenance easement of the Lake Worth Drainage District.
It the road were built, it would intersect a dangerous section on
Military Trail and as it goes east it does go past through the property
o~ this building here~ (indicating) across Boynton Beach and they are not
aware. of any. right~of~way being proposed in this. area. Dos Lagos Condo
under. deve10pinent ny' Satter. I don '.t know where this road goes. I am
as concerned as' anyone anout the transportation needs of this County.
For your information, ~ mile to the south is S.W. 22nd Avenue that
Cross~s I~95. Several years ago we got into a discussion about certain
types of property rn this County. This is. .on-going agricultural enterT""
prJ:.s~., is now, has been there for 25 years'. They are making extensive
improvements on the property, they need to stay a while. Traffic
analysi':s, frrst of all, couldntt have 2,315 on Lawrence from Petition
No. 82v78, when you talk about this from Petitions in the past, that
has generated'new traffic. There is no new traffic.

JOHN CARROI.J:..:
Engineer.
I think that has to be discussed with Petitioner's
BOB HUTZLER: If this was petition:' for change in use, but there is no
change, I don.t see why when ~ mile to the south you have a four-lane
road. I don't believe this will be built.
COMMISSIONER BAKER: There was a petition five months ago about filling
stations taking a lot of a man"s property at Southern and Haverhill.
We made a deal where we wouldntt take it all at one time. What would
be your requirement for two~lane road?
JOHN CARROLL: 80 ft. but a more appropriate one would be an agreement
like the one for the gas station intersection on Northlake and Military.
JOHN CORBETT: Before Board took any action he signed an agreement to
dedicate on demand when road is built. If that was the case, it would
have to be restrictive covenant before the Commission taking any action.
JIM CHOBAN: 108 ft. for. alignment.
COMMISSIONER BAKER: I would be in favor of that reserve covenant. I
would like to set to 80 ft. They will probably be in a two-lane before
four~lane. I would like it to stay agricultural.
COMMISSIONER DELL: You got 600" frontage; 108t that would take almost
1/5 of the property.
COMMISSIONER HOLMES: Intent is to replace an existing building and it
triggered all this other stuff?
COMMISSIONER BAKER: Would Petitioner agree to reserving 80 ft. right-
of~way when the County needed it?
BOB OCHS, MANAGER, KNOLLWOOD GROVES: No Sir.
TIM LUNNEY: Petitioner is not going to volunteer to reserve or give
it. The green area is the existing grove area.
COMMISSIONER BAKER: I asked for voluntary only when County wanted to
build the road and if they owned additional land they would have to
buy it.
BOB OCHS: If you are talking about two-lane, why not 22nd Street?
COMMISSIONER HASNER: We could place condition now there is nothing to
stop you from selling it tomorrow.
ALAN KURTIS: One of the problems faced by the County is that we don't
have sufficient rights-of-way. There has befn up to now standard
request for right-of-way. It is unfortunate, in terms of the right-
of-way we are looking for ~hat the ultimate road right-of-way does
go into farmlands. It is a question whether public interest comes
. first or private. Our position is to protect interests of Palm Beach
County transporation needs. This is not something that comes as a
surprise to people who bought property bordering. I don't think we
have a choice.
BOB HUTZLER: You recall the Rubin Petition. Is that still active
petition?
ALAN KURTIS: That is still active.
BOB HUTZLER: Connector was made in that petition.
ALAN KURT~S: What needs to be determined is whether the Thoroughfare Plan
is going to be upheld or destroyed. This is a third party thing. They
are needs demonstrated in computer printouts. No one is trying to impact
someone who feels they are being victimized.
MOTION by Commissioner Holmes, seconded by Commissioner Turney, to
recommend approval, with staff recommendations, of Petition No. 83~99
and deleting Condition No.2. Motion was lost 3~3, Commissioners Ho~es,
Dell, Turney, in favor, Commissioners Hasner, Brown Baker dissenting.

(/
COMMISSIONER BAKER: We are going to double population. We need
rights~f-way. I think it is unfair to take 20% of his property but
I would vote for 10% and I do feel we should have some conveyance.
We have always done this, we are setting a precedent by not asking
for right-of-way. We are going to have a flood of people, I just feel
we should do it within reason. We are here to speak for, and help,
the citizens, of this County and property owners are certainly 'citizens,
but I feel we should lookout for all people.
COMMISSIONER HOLMES: Motion was made in relation to the fact that he
is asking only to replace an existing building with no further impact
to continue his business and I feel taking land without value of land
being increased is wrong and I still stand by that.
COMMISSIONER .TURNEY: I think it is the Comprehensive Plan and other
interests of the County to preserve agricultural. I think it is in-
consistent to penalize this agricultural use to require this dedication
and make agricultural pay for urbanization. I think to reflect comments
as far as if they want this property, if it ever became non-agricultural
use, they would then dedicate right-of-way.
COMMISSIONER HASNER: We have a Master Plan and we are going to stick to
it. To make options is not in keeping, or a good interpretation of the
plan, and that is the reason I found the way I did. I think the split
motion will have to go to the Board of County Commission. We understand
agricultural for...
JOHN CORBETT: Some kind of motion, even without recommendation on that
condition is in order.
TIM LUNNEY: I think it should be that you approve the petition but could
not come to a consensus on the right-of-way.
MOTION. by Commissioner HoLmes, seconded by Commissioner Turney, to
recommend approval, with clarifications of the concerns of the Board
a$ to reservation of some footage pertaining to right-of-way. Planning
Commission was unable to agree on Condition 2. Motion carried 6-0

CONDITIONS:
1. This development shall retain onsite 85% of the stormwater runoff

TO: Herb Kahlert, County Engineer
FROM: Clayton E. Hutcheson, Extension Director, PBC Agriculture Dept.
SUBJECT: Knollwood Groves - Petition #83-99
This is in reference to Knol'wood Groves and petition ~83-99 to con-
struct a new agricultural building to replace one that is presently
inadequate. This additional facility would add to the viability of
their agricultural operation, helping to insure an efficient bus-
iness for years to come. .
Apparently, it is the recommendation of the Engineering Department
that final approval for the structure be withheld until Knollwood
-Groves gives Palm Beach County a 108' x 21481 strip on the north
side of their property for widening of Knollwood Road. This might
be reasonable if they were putting in a housing development. Since
this isn't the case, this doesn't seem a reasonable request.
With only 30 acres in the grove, the loss of this citrus will reduce
their productive grove acreage by about 13 percent. About one-quarter
of the grove is in grapefruit and a good portion of ~his is in the
5.3 acres requested for widening of the road.
To still satisfy the customer demand for grapefruit, they will have
to purchase more from other producer~ to retail. This means reduced
profits for Knollwood Groves and.a changed economic situation for them.
It would be my recommendation that the petition be approved without
the demand for the road right-of-way. As long as they are maintaining
a viable agricultural operation, which we should be encouraging, nothing
is going to change along Knollwood Road that would demand greater traffic
'carrying capacity. .,.
They also have a native hammock that would be impacted that is an asset
to them as they carry customers through the grove to pick fruit.

INTRODUCTION
Following the annexation of Group 1, Phase 1 (enclaves), the City
Commission directed staff to/ in addition to continuing efforts to
annex the enclave properties, increase the focus on Phase 2 of the
annexation program beginning with the annexation of those eligible
properties located within the service area, immediately west of the
City. Eligible properties are defined as those contiguous
properties whose owners have consented to being annexed. The-7
property occupied by the Knollwood Groves ~ricultural and retail
business," and owned bY_.Knollwood groves Inc~~- -is.- one of. five

The Knollwood Groves is an established grove business serving a
market area which likely extends to regional limits. Their year-
round operation includes the sale of fruits and vegetables (grown
both on and off the premises), container plants, gifts and
souvenirs, baked goods and other miscellaneous items. The,
Knollwood Groves also includes walking tours of the processing;
facility, wagon tours of the groves, picnic tables, and an exhibit
of Native Americans and Florida's natural environment featuring
arts and crafts, educational lectures, and native animals such as :
the alligator all located within a natural hammock area found on I
the property. ~
All five (5) property owners were sent two separate notices (in
addition to the official rezoning/public hearing notice) informing
them of the City's annexation plans. In response to this notice,
one of the owners has contacted this office with concerns related
to the impact of annexation on Knollwood Groves. This individual
indicated that they would not oppose annexation as long as it would
not affect the operation of their business.
All five (5) applications consist of an application for annexation
and land use plan amendment/rezoning. As this property is being
annexed in accordance with the City's annexation program, staff has
completed the necessary applications, and the corresponding
application fees were waived.
The specific analysis for these applications is on the follOWing
page and in the form of an abbreviated summary. This summary
includes a brief outline describing each property, each
application, adjacent land uses, the availability of facilities,
the basis on which each is found consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan, other pertinent information, and the recommendation. A
location map follows this analysis.

CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Consistency with the Future Land Use Plan - Consistent
.. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map does not recommend land use designations for
unincorporated properties west of Lawrence Road. The Future Land Use map will be
amended to show this annexed property as Agriculture.
Consistency with the goals. objectives, and policies - Consistent
; The Agriculture land use classification is being proposed based upon consistency with
the existing use, and based on the description of this classification within Policy
1.16.1 (see Attachment "A"). Furthermore, this land use classification is consistent
with adjacent land uses, and annexation would be consistent with State law. Since the
proposed land use is consistent with surrounding land uses. there are few objectives
or policies related to this request. However. there are several issues that should be
addressed. as they describe characteristics of this site, indicate consistency with the
Comprehensive Plan, and/or fulfill requirements of the Florida Department of Community
of Affairs with respect to the review of plan amendments.
Annexation
This request for annexation, which is in accordance with the City's annexation program
established pursuant to Policy 8.10.4. is consistent with Florida Law.
Availability of Facilities
Florida Administrative Code requires that the availability of, and impact upon public
facilities be analyzed. The appropriate analysis for each faCility has been conducted,
and the results are summarized as follows:
Roads: No impact upon the availability of road facilities.
Water/Sewer: No impact upon the availability of water/sewer facilities.
Solid Waste: No impact upon the availability of solid waste facilities.
Recreation: No impact upon the availability of recreation facilities.
Drainage: No impact upon the availability of drainage facilities.
Impact upon Historical/Archeological Resources
Not applicable
Impact upon Native Habitats or other Environmental Resources
Not applicable
Flood Zone: "B"
. Consistency with the Palm Beach County Comprehensive Plan
The proposed designation represents a more restrictive land use classification than the
current County land use as fewer uses would be allowed and development would be
restricted to a lower denSity.
, OTHER
It should be noted that, based on a strict definition and application of the City's
Code of Ordinances, all aspects of the Palm Beach Groves operation may not be permitted
within the City of Boynton Beach (see Attachment "B"). Given that such characteristics
2
of this business will become legally nonconforming, or "grandfathered" in accordance
with City regulations, and since the Agriculture Zoning District is relatively
restrictive, staff recommends that the City consider the need for code revisions which
would address the different aspects of this grove business.
RECOMMENDATION
$ The Planning and Zoning Department recommends that these applications submitted in
connection with the Annexation Program be approved based, in part. on the following:
1. The subject property is contiguous to the corporate limits;
2. The subject property lies within the City's Reserve Annexation Areaj
3. The annexation of this property is consistent with the City's Annexation Program j
