Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Vice Mayor Aguila complimented Mr. Carlson on the clarity of the plans. He asked Mr. Carlson if all exposed areas of the dumpster enclosure will be stuccoed and painted to match the building. Mr. Carlson responded affirma- tively and confirmed that the dumpster will be 6' high from average grade. With regard to the power lines, there is no conflict with the dumpster, but the size of the trees will be adjusted. Vice Mayor Aguila asked for clarification on the issue of the fire hydrant. Mr. Carlson stated that he submitted plans to Utilities and the Fire Department. Mr. Cavanaugh has approved those plans. The fire hydrant has been located mid- way down the parking lot on the west side. Mr. Carlson confirmed that the building will not have a sprinkler system. In response to Vice Mayor Aguilals question regarding the landscape irrigation pump pad, Mr. Carlson stated the plans have not yet been finalized. It will be pro- tected and she1lded from view. Vice Mayor Aguila stated that if it is visible' from the streets, he wants hedge material to shield it. Mr. Carlson was agreeable. Mr. Carlson agreed that he will replace all dead hedge material and f111 all gaps. Vice Mayor Aguila questioned whether Mr. Carlson was aware of the fact that the City's requirement for parking spaces is 91 x 18'. Mr. Carlson said he was aware of this fact. Vice Mayor Aguila stated that on the west property line, the applicant is proposing twenty-three (23) parking spaces. He suggested changing the parking spaces to 9' x 181 which would allow the applicant to add three 61 islands which will permit adding greenery to that side of the site. The parking ratio will not be changed and it decreases the amount of asphalt on the site. This will result in a better looking project in the City. Vice Mayor Aguila also suggested that the applicant reduce the parking spaces to 9' x 18' which will result in widening the entry island on the north parking area. Greenery can be added to this area. Vice Mayor Aguila pointed out that this is a request for a better looking project. He is aware that the applicant has complied with all Codes and is not obligated to comply with his request regarding the parking area. The applicant said new drawings would be required and questioned how their submission would affect the process. Since it was difficult for the applicant to make an immediate decision, Mayor Harmening suggested the applicants think about it to determine whether they felt there was enough merit to the suggestion to warrant following it. Vice Mayor Aguila said, however, that he will insist on 9' x 181 parking spaces. - 17 - I ~ MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH.
