He inquired as to how the grassed overflow parking would be constructed. Mr. Park feels a subsurface mat can be used to stabilize the surface and permit occasional use. Vice Mayor Aguila felt that if permanent parking were provided at the first six (6) spaces as you enter, plus the additional six (6) as you go around the curve and seven (7) as you leave, that would be nineteen (19) spaces total. He suggested the Commission consider the nineteen (19) spaces to be sufficient for now. Six (6) additional spaces could be added along the curve before overflow parking would be required. t Mayor Pro Tem Matson feels that since this is on the Congress Avenue corridor many people will use this park. Further, people who might want to use Boynton Lakes Park, might park at this facility and walk across to Boynton Lakes Park. This park will be open in the evenings with lighted facilities and she feels the additional parking will be necessary. Mr. Park advised that sixteen (16) spaces meets the zoning requirements for parking. ;<l .'i).. ',' .'-. ~- '... '-" Vice Mayor Aguila feels the restroom doors need to be shielded.

The City Commission reviewed a similar plan in April and that plan was denied. The applicant has adjusted the site plan to meet the various comments made at that meeting and the Planning and Development Board meeting. The Technical Review Committee reviewed the plan and submitted their comments. Mike Kazunas confirmed that the issue of the utility easement has been resolved as of today by moving the dumpster location a few feet to the east. At its meeting of June 8, 1993, the Planning and Development Board reviewed the plan and forwarded it with a recommendation for approval. David Miller, 105 ~ Narcissus Avenue, West Palm Beach, represented Northlake Foods. Mr. Richard Higginbotham was also present in the audience. He explained that after going through the process the first time, they recognized the con- cerns and made changes. Waffle House has two building footprints. The square configuration was selected for this site. One of the prior concerns was the placement on the site. A variance was previously required to permit a 101 set- back. An adjustment was made to the property line to the south and the need for the variance has been eliminated. Waffle House is now able to meet or exceed the setback requirements. The dumpster pad has been located for maximum usage. By doing this, Waffle House has expanded on its parking spaces to the south. Some of those would be eliminated, but through a cross-access, cross-parking agreement between owners, there is no problem regarding parking. Waffle House has met or exceeded the Code requirements for landscaping, light- ing, parking, and drainage. The building was oriented to allow maximum parking and allow the front of it to be located toward the intersection of NW 7th and Boynton Beach Boulevard. This placed the rear of the building facing the shopping center. Waffle House has introduced a six-foot high landscape hedge at the rear of the building. The dumpster enclosure problem was alleviated by shifting the dumpster to the east. Waffle House will be utilizing a buff-colored brick, chocolate brown "S" style barrel tile on the mansard, and bronze annodized aluminum with bronze colored glass. The mansard is only over the glass areas and the walkways surrounding those areas. They have introduced a decorative ceramic tile accent band and decorative metal elements. Mr. Miller summarized by saying that Waffle House has met or exceeded all aspects of the Code requirements and they appreciate the opportunity to bring their project back for consideration. Mayor Pro Tem Matson thanked Mr. Miller for all of the work done to bring this project closer to what the Commission had in mind. She noted that they made a nice effort to be good neighbors. Commissioner Katz feels the colors of the restaurant are not compatible with the shopping center. Mr. Miller said Waffle House has attempted to use similar - 17 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JUNE 15, 1993 colors. The buff-colored brick is compatible with the cream and white colors of Gateway Centre. Vice Mayor Aguila complimented Waffle House on their creativity and noted that they attempted to take care of most of the concerns expressed at the last meeting. He was pleased with the introduction of the hedge at the rear of the building. In response to Vice Mayor Aguila's question, Mr. Cutro advised that the cross- access agreement will be submitted at the time submittal is made for building permits. That agreement will be sent to the City Attorney for his review and approval. Approval of the building permit is held until the cross-access agree- ment is approved by the City Attorney. Vice Mayor Aguila noted that the two islands on the north side of the building have no trees. He asked if the applicant would consider the addition of trees in those areas. Mr. Miller agreed as long as they would not interfere with visibility. Vice Mayor Aguila did not foresee any visibility problems. Vice Mayor Aguila questioned how Waffle House would deal with the cardboard con- tainers their deliveries are received in. R1chard H1gg1nbotham, 5419 Hansel Avenue, Orlando, Flor1da, said a recycling bin is already on the site and an agreement can be worked out with the shopping center developer to use it if necessary. Although the bin is located at the west end of the shopping center, no problem is anticipated by the applicant. His employees will take the cardboard to that location. Vice Mayor Aguila asked about rooftop airconditioning equipment and how it will be shielded. Mr. Miller advised that the line of the roof at the rear slope is approximately 4~' below the parapet wall. The condensor unit is roof mounted and the package unit will be below the wall. ~ Vice Mayor Aguila agrees that the colors are compatible, but he has a problem with the chocolate-brown tile and feels the applicant should show some sen- sitivity to the existing shopping center. He suggested the ~Sll tile match the colors of the existing center. Vice Mayor Aguila also addressed the applicant's sign and he pointed out that the proposed sign needs to be scaled down. Vice Mayor Aguila stated he would support this application if the sign is reduced in size and the color of the tile matches the existing shopping center. Mr. Miller stated that in an attempt was made to minimize the effect of the sign by placing it in the planting bed and using a single pole. He pointed out that there is no access to this facility off a right-of-way. The only access is through another person's property. The arrow will direct patrons to the facil- ity. Vice Mayor Aguila feels the arrow is overdone, but recognized the appli- cant's argument. Messrs. Higginbotham and Miller agreed to use 18~ square letters on an 181 high sign. The arrow will remain a part of the sign. - 18 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JUNE 15, 1993 With regard to the color of the tile, Mr. Higginbotham has no problem with the suggestion to match the barrel tile of the shopping center. Brick samples were ~ reviewed again, and it was determined that a lighter beige brick would be used. Buddy Lenthel, 122 SW 4th Avenue, supports the addition of Waffle House in the City. He is a night-time worker and not many restaurants are open during the night-time hours. Motion Commissioner Katz moved to approve this project subject to all staff comments and the Vice Mayor's comments including those concerning the compatibility of the color of the tile for the roof and(signage;\; Commissioner"W-arsflak"seconaed the motion which c-a'rried unanirrlOLfSly. Vice Mayor Aguila questioned whether or not the applicant has any intention of ever placing a sign-mounted spotlight shining in the parking lot. Mr. Miller advised that the two of the three existing light pOles will be utilized. One of the pOles will be relocated. The height will be the same as currently exists and there will be two lights mounted on each pole with the light aimed at the site. 3. Project Name: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Waste Management of Palm Beach John Grant III Waste Management of Palm Beach North side of the cul-de-sac at the east end of Industrial Way SITE PLAN MODIFICATION: The applicant is requesting approval to add vehicle parking spaces and additional truck storage on their 2.364 acre site. The site is currently vacant and presently has site plan approval for the construction of a mulching facility. Mr. Cutro made the presentation and explained that this site was previously reviewed by the City for a vegetative recycling facility. That site plan was approved, but the County has refused Waste Management undertaking that opera- tion on the site. The applicant requested that the Building Department's comment regarding the need for a permanent easement be amended to a five-year limitation. However, Mr. Cutro pointed out that there is a need for the easement from the cul-de-sac back to the Rollyson property until Miner Road is extended or improved. At that point, Waste Management can apply for the removal of the easement. The easement is only permanent until Miner Road is taken care of. Staff continues to support the requirement for the easement and requests no limitations be put on it. The Planning and Development Board reviewed this project and forwarded it with a recommendation for approval subject to the following conditions: - 19 -
