CORRESPONDENCE Ms. Tambri Heyd( page 2 The business location we seek to lease is found on the south end of the Commerce Center, which provides us with some isolation from the majority of the tenancy. The west parking lot adjacent to this area is well isolated from the residen- tial neighborhood to the west, with a wide canal and wooded buffer in between. This wooded buffer zone is thick and lush, measuring roughly 100 feet in width, and the canal measures around 175 feet in width. In regard to the ancillary products mentioned in item #2 of our request, this would include the sale or rental of products such as packing materials, tape, padlocks, rope, moving blankets, and similar type products that the do it your- self mover would utilize in assisting themselves with their overall relocation. As a moving company we feel that we are better trained and equipped to advise the self-mover than any gas station or mini-warehouse that rents similar vehicles to the general public, thereby better serving the needs of the public. We thank you for your attention to our request, and are available to you should you have any questions. Sincerely, C~:5;)!erLr Er:t::I~- Stephen E.

GF~ORT~SH-R() ~~ Very truly yours, MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 14, 1985 . Chairman Ryder asked if Mr. Annunziato would find it bene- ficial if the Board gave him time to look into this. Mr. Annunziato replied that he would be just as comfortable with three acres, providing the Board and Council were satisfied. I Vice Chairman Trauger felt part of the Board's policy was for control of development. As Attorney Perry stated, he believed it was far easier to go up than to come back down. . Chairman Ryder asked if anyone else wished to speak in support of the Ordinance for a PCD or in opposition. There was no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Vice Chairman Trauger moved that in paragraph 7A on page 5, the Board accept the minimum of three (3) contiguous acres. Mr. Winter seconded the motion. Mr. Wandelt felt it should stay at five acres, and they could come back and ask for a variance to go to three acres. He reminded the Members that C-3 allows four stories and also allows other things. Mrs. Huckle reiterated that she thought it should stay at five acres. Mr. deLong thought Mrs. Huckle's point was very well taken and agreed with Mr. Annunziato's original think- ing. He felt Mr. Annunziato gave it a lot of study. At the request of Chairman Ryder, Mrs. Ramseyer took a roll call vote on the motion. The motion was LOST by a 3-4 vote. Mr. Wandelt, Chairman Ryder,.Mrs. Huckle, and Mr. deLong voted against the motion. Mrs. Huckle moved to accept the original recommendation of the City Planner, which was for a minimum of five (5) contiguous acres. Mr. deLong seconded the motion, and the motion carried 7-0. e Mr. Wandelt moved to find the proposed Planned Commercial District zoning regulations consistent with the Comprehensive plan, seconded by Mr. pagliarulo. Motion carried 7-0. - Request submitted by Fred popper, Architect, on behalf of the owners of the Boynton Commercenter to expand the list of permitted uses in the Commercenter Planned Industrial Development Chairman Ryder asked if the Manufacturing uses presently prevail in the center. Mr. Annunziato replied that the uses currently permitted appear on page 1 and the beginning of page 2 of his memorandum of May 7, 1985. Chairman Ryder commented that these will be in areas other than those which will subsequently be office buildings. Mr. Annunziato said they will be in the areas - 10 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 14, 1985 " I where they have three buildings now. Directly to the north and directly to the south, there are still two tracts for commerce entity development in the form the three buildings are developed in. Chairman Ryder commented that the layout is very appropriate for the intended use with the loading and unloading areas. Mr. Wandelt agreed with him that the buildings have very attractive fronts too in contrast to other warehouse developments. Vice Chairman Trauger moved, seconded by Mr. Winter, to take this from the table. Motion carried 7-0. . Mr. Annunziato said Fred J. Popper, A.I.A., of Centure Design, 2100 Corporate Drive, Boynton Beach, Florida 33435, as agent for the applicant, was requesting to supplement the previously approved list of permitted uses with an expanded list in order to go into a more enhanced leasing program. Mr. Cannon informed the Members that the applicant originally requested a blanket approval for all manufacturing, warehouse, and office uses at the Planned Industrial Development (PID) and also contractors' storage and shop areas as well. He showed a master plan of the PID. At the north end of the PID are four office buildings. The master plan change and the site plan for the office buildings had already been approved. Mr. Cannon said there was a list of permitted uses for the ware- house buildings which would go on the tracts to the south of the building. There are five tracts which could be developed for warehouse use. Three of the warehouses are presently constructed. To the east is the 1-95 right-of-way and to the west is the E-4 Canal right-of-way. Further to the west is the single family area of Leisureville. - The applicant resubmitted a revised list of uses, which went into greater detail and used the M-l uses as a guideline. Mr. Cannon said the list of permitted uses, at the bottom of page 1 of the memo dated May 7, 1985, had been modified by an amendment to the zoning regulations. He read Mr. Annunziato's Memorandum dated May 7. I . Mr. Cannon said contractors' storage and shop operations were the original intent and nature of the PID. It was staff's interpre- tation that this was intended as a high quality industrial park and office location and not as a general. manufacturing district. If contractors' storage and shop areas are allowed, Mr. Cannon said they thought the industrial park would take on a major potential of creating an industrial zoning district. Mr. Cannon stated that the Planning Department would go along with some of the uses the applicant was proposing where they fit - 11 - "--_.__._--~--~-~--_.._--------~-,-_._------------------ MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 14, 1985 . the original concept of the industrial park. They did not think the type of uses which they think are more of a heavy manufactur- ing nature should be allowed. I . Mr. Annunziato commented that this site is particularly sensitive. To the west, there is a single family subdivision, and totally surrounding the site is the Boynton Beach municipal well field. . That formed the basis for the staff's review. It is their intention to continue to recommend that only high quality uses be permitted and that only uses that can meet the environmental constraints imposed by the well field be allowed to be permitted. That is the staff's position with respect to PIDs generally and, specifically, for the Boynton Commercenter. Chairman Ryder commented that this would have a more parklike appearance and would not impact unfavorably on the surrounding area. In his view~ he was sure the people in Section 10 of Leisureville would not be unhappy with what finally happens there. With regard to the contractors, Chairman Ryder agreed with the comments by staff because trucks and material would line up there. Fred Popper, Architect, had no problem with the staff comments except the category of contractors on page 3. What they intend for uses as far as contractors is the high quality contractor, not the contractor that works out of the back of his truck. The contractor that would occupy space in the Boynton Commercenter would have to be of high quality because he could not afford to be there if he was not. . Mr. Popper drew the Members' attention to the Lease Addendum he submitted to staff, which would limit the use by Contractors to no outside storage of construction vehicles and service vehicles. Also, vehicles would have to be kept in a professional manner, and all service vehicles would be off the site from 8:00 A. M. until 4:30 P. M. The contractors would not be allowed to use the dumpsters on site for any of their construction material, nor would they allow any outside storage of construction material. Mr. Popper said the usual intended use of the Boynton Commercenter was a high technical industrial park. What they found in the past year through leasing is that it is not available right now. Since leasing is going relatively poorly at this time, Mr. Popper said they wanted the Board to allow them to lease to the quality contractor. I - Mr. Annunziato had this conversation with Mr. Popper and the owners of the development and reiterated his recommendation that no contractors be permitted. He explained that there were two issues: (1) Contractors' areas are generally associated with the - 12 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 14, 1985 # I M-l zoning category. In terms of allowing only high quality contractors, he believed it was a difficult thing to lease, if not impossible. Some subsequent owner might not be as willing to cooperate as the present owner is, and it might be impossible to lease, to the detriment of the specific area and the neighborhood in general. (2) It was never intended that these PIDS be used for contractors' yards, and Mr. Annunziato believed the end result could only be negative in the future. . Mr. Popper added that the developers of the project spent considerable money in creating an aesthetically pleasing project. By no means would they want to lease to people that would deteriorate the property, as they would only hurt themselves. Mr. Popper could understand Mr. Annunziato's concern about what might happen with contractors and offered that perhaps the Board might allow them the use for an experimental time period like five years. During that time period, if they see the use is not appropriate, it will be discontinued after the five years. Mr. Annunziato's position remained unchanged. He added that those kinds of conditions are nearly impossible to work with. Furthermore, they were dealing with the current user. Five months from now, there may be a different user of the property itself. The integrity of the development has to remain first class. Mr. Annunziato could not believe they could retain the control they have and the important control they need because of the location with respect to Leisureville to the west, the public's view as they ride down Corporate Drive, and allow contractors to be located in a high class industrial site. Ample locations for these users have been provided in Boynton Beach, but this is not the location for a contractor. - If a contractor wants to open up his business door and hang his shingle, Mr. Annunziato said it would be an office use and would be permitted and encouraged; but as far as a man operating his storage of materials, parts, and equipment on a pro at this lo- cation, it would be a real detriment. I e Mr. Popper argued that they were not looking at just storage area for the contractor but were looking at an operation center for the contractor where his offices would be, as well as some storage within the unit. He pointed out that under the approved uses of the PID, tractor trailer trucks will be moving back and forth through the project, so they are going to see trucks there. It appeared to Mr. deLong that having something like that would be a great betrayal to the people that surround the PID that live in private homes. He did not think they could make the people in - 13 - MINUTES - PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 14, 1985 ~ I Leisureville pay for perhaps a mistiming of what might or two away. Mr. deLong wondered what they would come want to do next, as the financial pressure increases. the integrity of the PID had to be refined. be a year back and He felt . Mr. Popper reiterated that they were looking at a quality contractor. Mr. deLong said contractors have a tendency to get a little bit wayward and unkempt in keeping their ,house in order. He had a feeling they might end up with an eye sore. Mr. Popper tended to agree with Mr. deLong and said the developer would want to police this more than the City because it could hurt future leasing if they have some unsightly tenants. They would certainly research their contractor tenants thoroughly and abide by the amendments to the lease so that they would have a quality project. They are in the early stages of the project and still have quite a bit of construction to go on it. Mr. Popper said they are not walking away from it but want to be able to do some business on it. Chairman Ryder said they were trying to minimize any possibility in the future where the City would be confronted with this kind of thing. He gave as an example someone who works out of his home at Woolbright Road near 1-95 and has trucks with materials on his front lawn at night. It has been before the Codes Enforcement Board, but the city and neighbors still have a prob- lem. That was why Mr. Popper suggested a time period. Mr. Wandelt did not think they could set a time period. Chairman Ryder asked if anyone else wished to speak in support of the proposal or if anyone wished to speak in opposition. There was no response. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. . Mr. deLong moved to accept the recommendations contained in Mr. Annunziato's memo of May 7, 1985. (Copy of said memo is attached to the original copy of these minutes.) Mr. Wandelt seconded the motion, and the motion carried 6-1 with Mr. pagliarulo voting against the motion.

Planned Industrial Development/proposed Uses in the Boynton Commercenter \....- Referring to #1, Mr. Annunziato said this is to remove from the Ordinance reference to heights above 65 feet. The secondary effect would be that these kinds of exceptions would have to go to the Council for a height exception. Mr. Annunziato stated that no Plan policies are impacted by these changes and recommended a finding of consistency. Mr. Wandelt wondered if this meant there would be no more towers like what Motorola has done. Mr. Annunziato thought it meant they would have to secure a height exception by the City Council. Mr. Linkous moved, seconded by Mr. Wandelt, to recommend a finding of consistency with the Comprehensive Plan as to item #1. As to item #2, Mr. Annunziato said the City has finally reached the point in a Planned Industrial Development where an applicant is requesting that certain uses be permitted. He said it involves approval of the uses by the Planning and Zoning Board. - Mr. Annunziato said the agents for Boynton Commercenter sub- mitted a list of items which they felt should be permitted. Mr. Perry A. Cessna, Director of Utilities, looked at the list and coordinated it with the Health Department. Mr. Annunziato looked at the list and they recommended that the list offered be approved but the eight items referred to in Mr. Cessna's memo be precluded from manufacture. If there is a request that those items be manufactured, Mr. Annunziato said they are to come before the City on an individual basis so the City can evaluate the environmental impact of that particular manufacturing process. Mr. Linkous moved to accept the recommendation of the Planning Director, seconded by Mr. Pagliarulo.

I have done a courtesy review of the effect Cellular One's expansion into Bays 1920 and 1914 has on the Commercenter' s overall parking. As mentioned to you on the telephone January 14, 1994, this review is done by Occupational License inspectors at the time an occupational license application is received and since the parking data changes with every occupational license issued at the Boynton Commercenter, my determination provided is only valid until the next such license is issued. I do not know how occupational licenses will modify Cellular One's existing license, which is currently wholesale, i.e. manufacturing vs. wholesale, therefore, I have assumed a wholesale ratio for the purpose of my determination. Based on this assumption, there exists a surplus of 18 parking spaces. During previous conversations we have had over the past six months, you had stated that you could provide me a diskette copy (3.5") of the tenant listing you prepared on 9/15/93. My office, as well as Occupational Licenses, would greatly benefit from having an updated version of this, as it would save time in conducting parking analyses for the Commercenter. If providing the diskette is still possible, please mail it to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you. /' ,. rl~,~ J711-l~/2L . Q~~~ Tambri J. He~n .

Boynton Beach Boulevard P.O. Box 310 Boynton Beach, Florida 33425-0310 Re: Boynton Commerce Center Dear Ms. Heyden: As previously discussed over the telephone, Boynton Commerce Center, Ltd, is presently negotiating to expand Cellular-One's current facility at the Boynton Commerce Center from 15,000 square feet to 29,858 square feet. As you know, Cellular-One's current facility consists of approximately 10,000 square feet of warehouse and 5,000 square feet of office. The expansion would entail bays 1920, which is has been occupied by GRAI/MIG Joint Venture, 2862 square feet of office, the balance of the bay 4,496 square feet of vacant space and bay 19141 7,500 square feet vacant, previously occupied by SGD'Or, The proposed Cell-One expansion would increase their present office space from 5,000+/- square feet to 12,358+/- square feet. Cell-one's warehouse facility would increase from 101000;t-/- square feet to 17,500+/- square feet. This expansion would not effect the projects current parking ratio, for the following reasons. First, the expansion would change the 4,496 square feet in Bay 1920 from vacant, 1 :500 ratio to office usage 1 :300 ratio, requiring an additional six (6) spaces, Second I Bay 1914, 7,500 square feet currently designated as vacant, 1 :500 ratio would be decreased to a warehouse usage, 1 :800 ratio I reducing the need for six (6) spaces. The net result on how the parking ratio at the project would be effected is zero. Based on the above outlined changes the Cellular-One expansion should not effect the parking situation at Boynton Commerce Center. At your earliest convenience, please respond on the how the City of Boynton Beach will view the expansion and its effect on the projects parking ratio.
