SUBJECT:
Boynton Beach Promenade Site Plan
Review and Landscape Appeal
Hax Developers has requested a major site plan review for the
Boynton Beach Promenade. The reason for the review is the
increase of the floor area from 75,130 to 79,318 square feet.
This increase is caused by the desire of the owners to keep the
second floor portion of the old structure and not remove it as
originally planned.
Since it was approved in June of 1992, the site plan has been
altered under a series of minor plan changes to shift the bulk of
the building to the Office Max structure, move that structure to
the south because of conflicts with an electrical transformer and
the height of the Office Max facade was increased by four feet.
The site meets the parking requirements and the design gUidelines
of the modern district.
The applicant has also requested a landscape appeal to allow the
use of existing material instead of replacing with native species
both on the site and along the right of way.
The site plan and the landscape appeal were reviewed by the
Planning and Development Board and both were forwarded to the
City Commission with a recommendation of approval. A condition
was attached to the landscape appeal to plant additional palm
trees along the east elevation at the south end of the structure
which the applicant has agreed to do.
These requests have been scheduled for City Commission review and
final determination on May 18, 1993.

Re: Boynton Beach Promenade
Page Two
However, the existing perimeter landscaping is deficient with
regards to the required native species and community Design Plan
on-site streetscape landscaping. Therefore, the applicant is
requesting the following appeals:
'l'he first appeal is to allow the existing landscaping material
around the perimeter of the project to remain in place. The code
requires that fifty (50) percent of the total number of required
trees and hedge plantings shall be a native species.
The landscape plan depicts the following materials are existing and
located around the perimeter of the site: surinam cherry hedge and
Black olive trees. However, these species are not native.
Installing four hundred ninety-two (492) native hedges around the
perimeter of the project and eight (8) native trees along Congress
Avenue will bring the landscaping in compliance with the native
species requirements. Installation of new material shall follow the
planting specifications listed in the code. The existing trees
located along the perimeter of the north, south and west sides of
the project are supplemental landscaping and not required by the
code.
The second appeal is to allow the existing Black olive trees and
cherry hedge landscaping along Congress Avenue to satisfy the
required on-site streetscape landscaping. As previously described,
Appendix III of the Community Design Plan specifies certain species
of trees and hedge landscape material shall be incorporated into
the required landscaping along the perimeter of the project that
abuts a right-of-way. The intent of the landscaping is to create
a streetscape that is harmonious with the appropriate architectural
theme. The site is located in the modern design district. The
Surinam cherry hedge material is a species identified on the modern
design list. However, the Black olive trees are not listed as a
tree acceptable for the modern design district landscaping.
Installation of new material shall follow the planting
specifications listed in the code.
'l'he appeal request is stated in the attached letter from Max
Developers, Inc., identified as Exhibit IIAII.

RE: ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL - LANDSCAPING
BOYNTON BEACH, PROMENADE - MAX DEVELOPERS, INC
Dear Chris:
By this letter please be advised that the above applicant is
seeking relief from full compliance with the City of Boynton Beach
landscape ordinance.
As you are aware, as the new owners of the Boynton Beach Promenade,
we have invested significant dollars into an extensive renovation
of the shopping center. Due to our efforts, we are turning a
failed project into a successful, job generating and tax revenue
source for the city of Boynton Beach and its residents. We have to
date commitments from major national tenants such as General Mills
Restaurants, KMart' s OfficeMax, Motorola, and HealthSouth. We have
accomplished all of this while complying with all the Cities codes
and ordinances with the exception of the landscape ordinance.
Since the development of the project in 1986, the city has adopted
a new Comprehensive Plan Ordinance with regard to landscaping that
is more specifically detailed in Appendix III of the Community
Design Plan. The ordinance, which was adopted in 1989, requires
that at least 50% of all site landscaping material be of native
species. As you can readily determine, our landscape plan provides
for compliance with this requirement as it relates to the
installation on new landscape material. However, with respect to
the existing landscape site material, which is made up of mature,
four foot, Surinam Cherry hedge and mature Black Olive trees, we
are not in compliance.
We are seeking relief from compliance with the landscape code only
as it relates to existing vegetation. All new installation will be
in complete compliance. The existing site landscaping is mature,
health, and well maintained. The material met all landscaping
MAX DEVELOPERS, INC.
1101 North Congress Avenue. Suite 201 · Boynton Beach, FL 33426. (407) 731-1630
requirements at the time of original installation. Additionally,
the site landscaping is consistent with site landscaping of other
shopping centers along Congress Avenue which were developed prior
to the adoption of the new ordinance.
Thank for your consideration in this matter and if you should have
any questions please feel free to contact me.
