You have now missed the December 9th deadline for this month's Community Appearance Board meeting on December 19. It is now imperative that you comply with this request in order for your project to proceed on a timely basis. The next deadline will be on January 4, 1989, by 4:30 p.m. If I can be of further assistance, please advise.

Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 Dear Jim: As per our conversation this morning I am enclosing a revised copy of Sheet A-2.01 for the Casablanca Apartments at 815 W. Boynton Beach Boulevard. This sheet shows the change to the Electric Meter Boxes whereby Florida Power and light required the combining of the two meter boxes per building into one slightly larger meter box. As per our conversation this morning regarding the City Commission's policy, I have not included any of the minor exterior elevation changes which you felt were not a part of your area of concern. This change will result in a net increase of 13.9 sq. ft. on the largest building and this increase represents a total slab increase of two tenths of one percent (.2%). As you know, upon reviewing the city code, we feel that the filing is not necessary because of the amount of the change. We feel that chapter 19's quidelines preclude the necessity of going before the TRB & P&Z. This application is being filed at the insistence of the Building Department and thus we are filing under protest. We will expect a full refund of all fees and any damages sustained, if it is subsequently determined that this peti ion was not necessary. .

FLORIDA 33309 (3051 493-8611 FAX (305) 771-2685 September 18, 1990 PLEASE REPLY TO: Mr. J. Scott Miller City Manager City of Boynton Beach Dear Mr. Miller: I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your time yesterday afternoon and also to reiterate my thinking on the street lighting situation along Boynton Beach Boulevard. We do not feel obligated at this time to provide street lighting along Boynton Beach Bou1evard for the following reasons: 1} Boynton Beach Boulevard is a state right of way. I talked with Mr. Bernard Freeman of DOT. He explained that street lighting along a DOT right of way is required only when a "Justification Report" for the proposed lighting has been requested by the municipality or county involved and issued by DOT. In this case, it has been neither requested nor issued. If the report is issued, then DOT installs the lighting at their expense. I checked with the county and they said that they would not request this within a municipality. 2) I checked the city of Boynton Beach code and could only find reference to street lighting under Article 9, Section 14 and Appendix "c" Article 10 Section 11. In neither instance are references made to the installation of lighting on State of Florida rights of way. Appendix "c" covers subdivisions and Platting. As you know, it has been determined several times over, the past 2 1/2 years that we are not subject to that ordinance. Section 14 merely states that "Street lighting may be installed". It in no way assumes or intends to dictate that it will be installed along public rights of way at developer's expense. 3) At the time Tom Clark 804, he was assuming and Platting ordinance. requested street lighting on SR that we were under the subdivision. We argued against this. from the. T~'-;n . " ~ , ! 4" .~ '..-' . _ '_4 ---" ~l:P ! 9 1990 I CITY ;'1/-.:.;':: (..:c.iCS ()i-i-l~t J. Scott Miller City of Boynton Beach September 19, 1990 Page Two very outset. We argued against it in the case of Park Fees, Platting, Bonding on Site utilities and at other times. Although Raymond Ray agreed that we were not under this ordinance, Carmen Annunziato elected to ignore his advice and forced us to adhere to the ordinance. At one point he stopped our TRB approvals for five months, at great expense to us, because we did not want to pay the $152,000 park fee. We were proven right in that and all other cases. In effect the city staff held a gun to our heads in these matters. We feel that the street lighting obligation was pressed upon us under the exact same duress as the other items and thus feel under no obligation to adhere to conditions laid down by the city staff under such duress. Further evidence of the city staff's high handedness in this matter can be seen on the plan laid out by FPL. In Mr. A.G. Russill's letter of December 14, 1988 to Mr. Jeffrey Boone, our then engineer, Post Buckley Scheek and Jernigan, he outlined the system and an estimated cost of construction of $22,183.00. The layout was never sent to us to review. When Mr. Finizio first contacted me about the street lighting, he showed me the layout and it included installing lights along the opposite side of SR 804 along the front of Leisureville. Apparently someone (a former mayor who live there?) decided we should also provide lighting for Leisureville~ side of the street! No wonder they never sent us the lighting plan. When I invited Mr. Finizio's attention to this extra lighting requirement, he was genuinely taken aback and after consultation with you, I believe, agreed to delete those lights from our bill. Scott, the fact remains, that I cannot find any justification to require us to install street lighting along a State right-of-way which we do not own and which is not dictated by any code. I feel that the old administration, as was its policy, was trying to stick it to us again. We must therefore respectfully decline ,to install the requested street lighting. If you feel it is a safety issue, I suggest you discuss it with DOT. It is their responsibility. ~ BUILDING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 90-057 February 16, 1990 TO: J. Scott Miller, City Manager .
