Lee Starkey, agent for James and Genevieve Rollyson has 1- ~
petitioned the City Commission for an exception to the M-1, Light
Industrial, zoning district maximum height limitation of
forty-five feet (45'). The request is to allow for the
construction of a 300 foot commercial radio tower in conjunction
with a radio station proposed within the existing Rollyson
manufacturing building located at 507 Industrial Way (see
attached loca~ion map). If the height exc7PtiRn is ap~roved, a
request for s~te plan approval for the rad~o~~n w~ll come (

Height Exception
Whether the height exception will have an adverse
effect on the existing and proposed land uses.
The existing land uses to the north (High Ridge
Commerce Park, zoned P.I.D. - never completed), south
(Boynton Beach Distribution Center, zoned M-1 -
~~~.~ completed), and west (Waste Management South within the
W~r' Boynton Beach Distribution Center - completed) are
jhu,.' /11.1 I~.. AA ,~' industrial. Immediately to the east is a small vacant
~7 {.AL'l.JI;. 4.., parcel, zoned M-1,. Further east is the Seaboard
/'/Jd ~~~-- Airline Railway and the 1-95 right-of-way.' Since the
(~O~ :~~0'-' land uses in the vicinity of the proposed radio tower
/~TL are primarily industrial, the height exception will not

. . .
Appendix A-Zoning, Section 8.A.1.d.(1) and (6), the M-1
zoning district, allows the requested radio tower as an
accessory use to the lawful principal use; the radio
station. In order for such towers to be a permitted
use, when located in connection with a lawful principal
use, the determination must have been made that this
use was appropriate in the M-1 zoning district.
However, as stated in the applicant's letter of
request, a tower limited to 45 feet could not serve the
functions of most radio stations. To reach the radio
station's prescribed market area, a 300 foot tower is
needed. " ~JI~_P'

c. Whether the height exception will severely reduce light
and air in adjacent areas.
Due to the frame construction of radio towers, the
height exception will not inhibit the flow of light and
air in the adjacent areas.
d. Whether the height exception will be a deterrent to the I
improvement or development of adjacent property in
accord with existing regulations.
All of the adjacent property is developed with the
exception of the High Ridge Commerce Park P.I.D. to the
north and the small, vacant parcel to the east. The
height exception will not be a deterrent to the
development of these properties, since these properties
are also zoned industrial, with the potential location
of similar industrial type uses. Improvement of
already developed property will not be deterred by this
height exception, since it would not be feasible to
redevelop these parcels for anything other than
industrial uses.
e. Whether the height exception will adversely influence
living conditions in the neighborhood.
The nearest residentially zoned property is 600 feet to
the east; Rolling Green Ridge, Addition No. 1
subdivision, zoned R-1, Single-family Residential.
Within this 600 feet lies the Seaboard Airline Railway
and 1-95. The next nearest residentially zoned
property is Cedar Ridge Estates P.U.D., 1000 feet to
the north, with the High Ridge Commerce Park P.I.D.
lying between this P.U.D. and the proposed radio tower.
Construction within this P.U.D. was abandoned after the
utilities and streets were nearing completion. No
units exist. Due to the proposed height of the tower,
the tower will be visible from both of these
residentially zoned areas. However, it is arguable
whether the height exception will adversely influence
living conditions in these neighborhoods.
g. Whether the height exception will constitute a grant of
special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted
to the pUblic welfare.
Approximately one mile to the south along the east side
of the 1-95 corridor is the City's communications tower
which was constructed in December of 1986 to a height
of 320 feet, for public service, safety and radio
~~ communication purposes. Although the City has a lease
-?y J~F~.~~ with Cellular One to locate their private, commercial
tl Jj.~~ ;V~~I antenna and microwave dish on the City's tower, a
JJJJ~.-fa {J Xel.-- . height exception for WPBR' s commercial radio tower
could constitute a grant of special privilage to an
~~^,,~.k /{J1).~1 individual owner. In addition, height exceptions
~y~ ,g /- c{ granted by the City in the past to individual owners
~ .' ~ PM (Jtp)-l..... have been considerably less in height than the 300 feet
ilL' I 1m- - requested by WPBR.
~ 5~bc,' ,1-
Cre fw-~,y ex! /v'A- (,..ytJ~ h. Whether sufficient evidence has been presented to
~~ ~~~). justify the need for a height exception.
~~~~~M~' As previously stated, the only justification presented
~i~, ~~ ~D by the applicant is the statement made in the -
~{J1f~,~? applicant's letter of request regarding market area.
~~~~i. The City Commission may, in connection with processing
~ 1 ~p~.~ of application for exception hereunder, refer same to
~AI;JP__I ~~. :IJ the Planning and Zoning Board for recommendation.
