REVIEW COMMENTS
PLANNING DEPT. MEMORANDUM NO. 90-270
(AGENDA MEMORANDUM)
TO: J. Scott Miller, City Manager
FROM: James J. Golden, Interim Planning Director
DATE: August 16, 1990
SUBJECT: Lighthouse Square Marina
The revised site plan reviewed by the Technical Review Board
included the following changes to the previously approved site
plan:
1. Significant changes to the parking lot layout and
design within the future right-of-way for Boynton Beach
Boulevard. These changes were made in connection with
a permit issued by the Florida Department of
Environmental Regulation to mitigate destruction of
mangrove habitat. NOTE: Conversations with FDOT
indicate that the new design of the parking lot within
the bridge right-of-way would not be compatible with
the future bridge design and that the original design
is subj ect to change. Therefore, it appears likely
that most, if not all, of these parking spaces would be
lost if a bridge is built at this location. The loss
of these parking spaces would result in a deficiency of
parking spaces that would be required by the City's
zoning ordinance, as this plan provides for only two
surplus parking spaces.
2. Changes to the approved Conditional Use for the dry
boat storage building which include an increase in
square footage from 35,089 to 36,450, an increase in
the east/west dimension from 260 to 275 feet and a
westward shift in the footprint of this building by
approximately 20 to 25 feet. lIO'I'E: Although the
measured dimension on the new plan is 275 feet, the
architect shows this dimension as 270 feet. It was
also assumed that the scale of the site plan remains
one (1) inch equals 40 feet, as a scale was not
provided on the revised site plan drawing.
3. Increase in square footage of the retail on the south
side of the dry boat storage building from 6, 313 to
6,750.
4. Change in the layout and design of the harbormaster
building and an increase in square footage from 3,750
to 4,000.
5. Changes in the layout and design of the restaurant
including the addition of a second floor and an
increase in seating by 25. NOTE: Although the
addition of the second floor appears to have increased
the square footage of this building, the exact increase
cannot be determined, as the square footage for this
building has not been shown on the site plan.
6. A change in the layout and design of the entire retail
frontage on the north side of Casa Lorna Boulevard.
These changes include the creation of two buildings of
nearly equal size instead of the larger and smaller
retail buildings previously approved and the
elimination of the freestanding raw bar. The seating
in the raw bar was increased from 50 to 200.

7. A change in the layout and design of the retail
lighthouse, including a request for a 20 foot height
exception, as outlined in the attached correspondence
in Exhibit "A".
8. Elimination of 3 boat slips on the north side of the
inlet. However, the total number of slips is still
shown as 37.
Copies of the approved and proposed site plans are provided in
Exhibit "B".
The Technical Review Board determined at the August 6th meeting
that the revised site plan was incomplete and should not be

Further details concerning the above-referenced list of missing
