AGENDA DOCUMENTS << ~ ..- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH. FLORIDA OCTOBER 20. 1992-~ c. OTHER: 1. Space Plus - 2951 SW 14th Place a. Review a landscape appeal by Jerry Church. P.E.. represen- tative for Space Plus (f.k.a. Mega Mini) to delete the required hedge landscaping material along the east and south sides of the open storage vehicle use area located at the east end of the Space Plus Facility Mr. Cutro made the presentation. The applicants are appealing because they are required to slat the fence on the entire length of the east side as well as on the south side. The buffering on the south side is missing approximately 150' to 200' of hedge. That hedge is on the opposite property. The applicants attempted to get the property owners to allow them to install a hedge, but they were unsuccessful. The hedge on the east side would buffer the parking lot and the burn practice tower at South Tech. The second appeal deals with the requirement to plant approximately twenty-one trees on the north side of the property. The applicant agreed to build an 8' wall and to plant oversize trees. They have been unable to find the oversize Black Olive trees and they have requested that requirement be reduced back down to the current City requirement. The Planning and Development Board reviewed this at their last meeting and recommended the first appeal regarding the hedges be upheld and that the second appeal not be upheld, but that the applicants be required to plant the oversize trees and that staff work with the applicant to plant some of the hedge material which was being deleted from the inside of the storage facility under the trees ~ along the wall on the north side. . Jerry Church. Engineer. said that with respect to the second appeal, the appli- cant is prepared to put in Oak trees with 12' height and 10' spread in lieu of the Black Olives which the contractor had problems getting. The contractor will not have any problem getting Oak trees which meet the criteria. The other request was to use some of the Silver Buttonwood that would be installed on the east side and put it on the north wall. In addition to the trees and the wall, vines were shown along the wall. The applicant is prepared to plant the Silver Buttonwood in lieu of those vines. Mr. Church further pointed out that the Code provides if there is a hedge in place, it can be commonly utilized. In response to Commissioner Aguila's question regarding debris on the property, Mr. Church said there were delays in getting a pennit to haul off the material. Space Plus has the penmit now and the debris will be removed. Leonard Kanonik. of 1330 SW 28th Avenue, views the 8' wall from his living room. He has written letters and included photos to City Manager Miller, Mayor Weiner. the Building Department and Code Enforcement about this property. He presented another photo of the grounds. Mr. Kanonik wants the trees to remain at 12'. Don Cera, of 1310 SW 28th Avenue, is President of Boca Lawn Maintenance and Landscaping. He stated that Boca Raton has no problem finding the Black Olive trees in the size required. He feels the Black Olive is more favorable than the Oak because it is fast growing, healthier and much prettier. Further, it was - 20 MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BQYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA OCTOBER 20, 1992 " agreed upon by the residents that if they reduced their request from a 121 wall to an 81 wall, they would install twenty-eight trees, 15' on center, 6" trunk, 12' in diameter. Commissioner Aguila corrected Mr. Cera by saying that the approved plan called for 12' high trees, 10' spread, 20' on center. Mr. Cera said this project was requested over a year ago and the applicants have saved a tremendous amount of money. He watched as a field of trees became a barren lot. He would like those trees replaced. He wants to see beautification return to Boynton Beach. Commissioner Aguila stated that he knows landscapers and knows that the Black Olive trees are available. The problem is that because of the damage to the nurseries, the trees have now become quite expensive. Commissioner Harmening further stated that trees are available in Counties other than Dade County.
