Golden, Interim Planning Director' DATE: August 7, 1990 SUBJECT: Lighthouse Square Marina (f/k/a) Water's Edge Marina Site Plan Modification - File No. 529 With respect to the above, please be advised of the following: I. A revised landscape plan was not submitted which corresponds to the new layout and design shown on the site plan. The exterior furnishings and pedestrian amenities required in the Central Business District must be shown on the landscape plan (Section 7.5-57.l.J of the CBD Landscape Regulations and Section 19-60 (b)(5) of the Code of Ordinances). 2. Details on project entry signs have not been provided (Section 6.E.6 of Appendix A-Zoning and Section 19-60(b)(6) of the Code of Ordinances). 3. Revised elevations and a revised floor plan for the proposed changes to the layout and design of the dry boat storage building and the increase in square footage from 35,OB9 square feet to 36,450 square feet have not been provided. In addition, the proposed changes to the dry boat storage building will require a modified conditional use application, as Section ll.2.C.5 of Appendix A-Zoning states that liThe Building Department shall not issue a building permit unless such permit conforms in every respect to the conditional use as approved by the City Commission". 4. Provide a typical pole elevation on the blueprint drawings' for the pedestrian and parking lot lighting fixtures proposed. Specify type of energy efficient lighting required and illumination levels (item no. 26.d on site plan checklist, Section 19-60 (b)(5) of the Code of Ordinances and Design Requirements of Article X - Parking Lots). 5. Parking space calculations were not properly delineated on the application form and site plan drawing. Correct calculations are as follows: USE CALCULATION * SPACES 1 Boat Storage 1 space per 4 boats 55 (220 boats) Restaurant 1 space per 2.5 seats BO (200 seats) Raw Bar 1 space per 2.5 seats 80 (200 seats) 2 Retail/Office 1 space per 200 sq. ft. 173 Complex gross floor area (34,568 sq. ft. ) Marina 1 space per boat 37 (37 slips) 3 TOTAL 425 x.65 = 277 1 TO: Mr. CLdig Livingston Aug. 7, 1990 ~ 1 Calculation was approved by the City Commission, as dry ~oat storage is not listed in Appendix A - Zoning (pursuant to Section 11.H.l2 of Appendix A). , 2 Includes lighthouse retail and harbor master (Section ll.H.l6.d(3) of Appendix A-Zoning). 3 The number of required parking spaces can be reduced by 35 percent in the CBD. PARKING PROVIDED (ON SITE) = 179 spaces BRIDGE PARKING (OFF-SITE) = 100 spaces TOTAL PARKING PROVIDED = 279 spaces TOTAL PARKING REQUIRED = 277 spaces (approximate) NOTES: (1) Parking spaces provided on the south side of Casa Lorna right-of-way have been reserved for existing businesses and are not proposed to be utilized for this project. (2) At the TRB meeting, the developer indicated that there may be one or more charter boats utilizing the marina. Additional parking would be required for the charter boats beyond the 277 spaces outlined above (Section ll.l6.e(11) of Appendix A-Zoning). (3) Loading spaces cannot encroach roadways or access aisles. Three spaces were required on previous site plans and should be provided on this site plan (Section ll.J of Appendix A-Zoning). 6. Construction of the proposed parking lot within the future right-of-way for Boynton Beach Boulevard, prior to the construction of the bridge, will require the following: a) A license agreement from the governmental entity that currently has jurisdiction over the existing right-of-way. b) A lease agreement for that portion of the parking lot that is proposed on the property which lies north of the existing right-of-way, owned by Janet Hall. The lease agreement must be approved by the community Redevelopment Agency after review and recommendation by the Technical Review Board (Section 6.E.4.c(2) and (3) of Appendix A-Zoning). c) Compliance with FDOT comments contained within the attached correspondence dated July 31, 1990. 7. The tri-party agreement concerning construction of the future bridge and the parking area underneath is currently being reviewed by FOOT. Preliminary discussions with FOOT indicate that they are considering abandoning the tri-party agreement in favor of an alternative solution. Final comments concerning the tri-party agreement will be formalized when the response from FOOT is received. 8. The conditions of the previous variance approval for the fire lane and the backing of cars into Casa Loma Boulevard must still be met (provide a note concerning fire sprinklers and standpipes and show detail for integration of park with cul-de-sac). 9.

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. BOrE: 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 (l) 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 Loma 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. PM90-270 -2- August 16, 1990 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". B. 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 forwarded to the Downtown Review Board until the applicant was able to submit the missing items. The items which were missing included, but were not limited to, the fOllowing: 1. Amended Conditional Use application 2 . Details on project signs 3. Landscape plan 4. Revised elevations for the dry boat storage building 5. Colored elevations for all buildings 6. Traffic statement pursuant to the Municipal Implementation Ordinance of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance 7. Application fees B. Various details concerning on-site utilities Further details concerning the above-referenced list of missing items are provided in the staff comments in Exhibit "C". It should be noted, however, that the attached "courtesy" comments have not been completed as of this date and therefore should not be construed to be conditions of approval. k-f-~ ES $.

July 27, 1990 Mr. James Golden Planning Department City of Boynton Beach 100 Seacrest Blvd. Boynton Beach, Florida 33435 Re: Lighthouse Square Marina Dear Mr. Golden; In researching the historical data for the design of the light- house for the above referenced project, we have discovered that almost 95% of all lighthouses along the east coast of the United states and the Gulf of Mexico are significantly higher than the 45' height allowed in the City of Boynton Beach. The lighthouse serves as a beacon to not only mariners but in our case will signify the center of our marina area and Central Business District. With this in mind, we respectfully request a height exemption be granted to construct the lighthouse to a height not to exceed 65'. In reviewing the City Ordinances, specifically Appendix A-Zoning Section 4 F. Height Limitations and Exceptions, we request herewith that you place this application before the City Commission to consider our exception. The Code under Subsection 2 indicates that" Water, cooling and fire towers, radio and television towers of commercial nature, church spires, domes, cupolas, flagpoles, electrical and mechanical support systems, and similar structures, and their necessary mechanical appurtances may be erected within a structure or on top of the structure, above the district height limitations provided herein, after obtaining approval of the city council based on their consideration of the standards for evaluating exceptions to district height regulations set forth in paragraph 3 below." r C~~'O ~~ ~\~ ~'U\.. 'O~,?\. ~~\\~\:> V~ 118 southeast 4th street boynton beach, florida 33435 407-737-9606 . July 27, 1990 It is our opinion that a lighthouse would qualify as a similar structure as mentioned in the above reference thereby justifying this request. We further find that: A. This height exception will not have an adverse effect on existing and proposed land uses. B. This height exception is necessary in order to function as a beacon and identifying element for the CBD. C. The height exception will not reduce light and air in adjacent areas. D. The height exception will not be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent areas, in fact we feel this will bring attention to the Central Business District and will stimulate development. E. The height exception will not adversely affect property values in adjacent areas, it will increase the value as the area develops. F. The height exception will not affect living conditions in adjacent areas as it is not significantly near any residential areas, and will improve the visual area it is in. G. This height exception will not grant a special privilege to the owner and as a result of the Central Business District redeveloping, the public welfare will be greatly benefitted. H. We list in geographical order our findings of similar structures along the coast of the United States to support this height exception. If we can provide any additional information as part of this request, please contact me at your convenience. ston, AIA EXHIBIT "B" o UJ :> o cc a.

Scott Miller ~~ Christopher Cutro Planning and Zoning Director TO: DATE: February 26, 1993 RE: Casa Lorna Boulevard As you requested, I have reviewed Richard Staudinger's-memorandum regarding Casa Loma Boulevard and would like to add one more alternative to the list. When Lighthouse Square was proposed, it called for the reconstruction of Cas a Loma Boulevard from the Intracoastal Waterway to Orange Avenue. The street would have headin/backout parking on the north and south side, as well as a turnaround, specific areas for dumpsters and landscaping, drainage would be improved and there would be new lighting. (See attached drawing. ) In order to go forward with this improvement, a lease for 20 feet on the northside of the street would have to be arranged with the owners of Water's Edge Marina and someone would have to pay for it. Some general discussions indicate that George Culver, (the owner of Two George's), and Janet Hall would be willing to share the expense of the improvements. In addition, some contribution may be warranted from Water's Edge to clean up their parking problems with charter and commercial fishing boats. If there was a desire to be creative with TIF monies, we could pay for the improvements and have the adjacent property owner reimburse the TIF funds at no interest or a low interest rate. If this alternative were undertaken, Two George's could complete their expansion to 150 seats (which has been a major administrative problem since I arrived here), Janet Hall could pursue her development (Seamist Centre), and we could resolve the problem of the charter fishing boats at all three locations on Casa Loma Boulevard. A final positive point is that Craig Livingston has indicated that the plans for the improvements to Casa Loma Boulevard are completed and could be bid out very quickly. I would suggest that, if the City Commission feels an urgency to repair Casa Loma Boulevard, that it be added to the resurfacing list with a stipulation that Casa Loma Boulevard be done last. At the same time, I would ask that the City Commission authorize Richard Staudinger and me to pursue this alternative and try to finalize an agreement prior to the improvements to Casa Loma Boulevard.
