Existing drainage structure at S.W. corner of site (catch basin #5) is currently located in grassy swale area. Proposed parking lot modification in that area does not address the redesign and relocation of catch basin #5. Placing the inlet in pavement is in direct conflict with Article X, Parking Lot Regulations, Appendix C, Drainage. 2. Eliminating grassing islands reduces pervious areas required for drainage. Revised drainage calculations from Engineer will be required to meet City codes as set forth in Article X, Boynton Beach Parking Lot Regulations, Appendix C, Drainage. 3. Existing fire hydrant at S.E. corner of retail building is currently located in a grassy island protected by concrete curb. Proposed parking lot modification eliminates this island but does not address the redesign and relocation of the utilities there. 4. Island immediately east of fire hydrant contains a 4" gate valve for fire line. Approved plans include a note specifying a 3' minimum pavement clearance. Proposed parking modification woul~ negate this. 5. Submit plans which address the relocation, redesign and restoration of any and all utilities in detail and in conformance with City codes.

June 23, 1989 ~. TRB Review - Cross Creek Centre - Master Plan Modifications From: Date: We have no objections to the proposed modification, with one condition. In that the conversion of 3,500 square feet of floor space to a more intensive use is dependent in part upon the addition of parking spaces, we request the applicant demonstrate how fire hydrants and other existing utilities will be relocated to allow for construction of additional parking. The revised plan indicates additional parking spaces in areas currently occupied by hydrants, and other utilities. cmd xc: Peter Mazzella .. RECEIVED JUN IS 1989 PLANNING DEPT. MEMORANDUM June 27, 1989 TO: Chairman and Members Planning and Zoning Board FROM: Carmen S. Annunziato Planning Director RE: Cross Creek Centre - Master Plan Modification File No. ~ :J-?;5 with respect to the above, please be advised of the following: At the June 22, 1989 Technical Review Board meeting, there were some technical concerns expressed by staff regarding the addition of parking spaces to serve the additional retail square footage. These concerns are outlined in the accompanying staff comments from the Engineering Department, Utilities Department, and the Forester/Horticulturist. If this application is approved, the applicant would be required to submit a site plan application, including a revised site plan, landscape plan, and engineering drawings, at which time these technical issues would be addressed in greater detail. The possibility exists, however, that there may be a conflict between existing improvements and the areas where the additional parking spaces are proposed to be added, to the extent that the required amount of additional parking spaces cannot be added. On this basis, it is recommended that approval of this application be contingent upon future site plan approval to add the necessary quantity of parking spaces. c~ --. jl r CARMEN S.

Mr. Carmen Annunziato City of Boynton Beach 200 North Seacreast Avenue Boynton Beach, FL 33435 - - Re: Modification to PCD - Cross Creek Centre Dear Mr. Annunziato: I would like to submit to you and the Town Council for consideration a proposal to modify the PCD masterplan for Cross Creek Centre. Our original application was for an all retail center of approximately 50,000 square feet which eventually was changed to allow 20,000 square feet of retail and 15,000 square feet of office in two separate buildings. This change was a result of recommendations from Staff and the Planning and Zoning Board. Our company was forced to accept this arrangement; however, we had serious concern about the marketability of the office portion. These concerns turned out to be justified as we are 100% leased in the retail portion with a waiting list of several retail tenants and only 40% leased in the office portion. With the extensive glut of vacant office space in the area in more legitimate office projects, I would think that a fully leased, healthy project would be preferable from the City's and residents' perspective. With over 1,100 feet of frontage and less than 200 feet of depth, the site is perfectly suited for retail tenants which is proven by the happiness and success of the tenants in the retail building.

RAHWAY, NEW JERSEY 07065 . 201'381'1115 Mr. Carmen Annunziato Page 2 June 27, 1989 This proposal is therefore to request a modification to the pcn masterplan to allow retail uses in 2,775 square feet of the office building as described on said masterplan. I can add sufficient parking on the site plan to accommodate the increased parking requirement. Please let me know if you require any additional information to consider this proposal. Thank you for your continued assistance on this project. SR:pk Enclosure Six (6) Masterplans cc: Kevin McGinley Honorable Gene Moore EXHIBIT "B" -------------..----------------- . I '"Ill this context, the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the following Comprehensive Plan policies: (1) To provide a suitable living environment in all neighborhoods (p.6) (2) To preserve the present stock of sound dwellings and neighborhoods (p.6) (3) To eliminate existing and potential land use conflicts (p.6) (4) To encourage the development of complimentary land uses (p.6) (5) To encourage the development of commercial land uses where the impacts on residential land uses are minimized (p.?) (6) To discourage the expansion of strip commercial development (p.?) Based upon this analysis, it can be argued that the proposed rezoning, if approved, would result in a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare and, in addition, would have an adverse impact on property values in the surrounding residential enclave. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS: Commercial zoning of the subject property would be inconsistent with respect to Comprehensive Plan policies for the location of commercial uses. Rezoning would result in a significant change in the character of the neighborhood and would have a negative impact on abutting residential uses, particularly in the Venetian Isle subdivision. Rezoning this property would also set a precedent for commercial zoning of the R-3 zoned parcel which lies across the L.W.D.D. E-4 canal to the east, bordered by West Boynton Beach Boulevard to the south and Old Boynton Road to the north. This would result in a further change in the character of the neighborhood, particularly in the vicinity of Old Boynton Road. Whether the change in character is desirable is the underlying issue in this rezoning petition. It is the Planning Department's conclusion that changing the character of the neighborhood from residential to commercial is not desirable, and that the property is developable under the current residential zoning. Therefore, it is the Planning Department's recommendation that commercialization of this parcel not be allowed, and that the application for amending the Future Land 9 I ."., Use Plan to "Local Retail" and rezoning to C-3, "Community Commercial", should be denied. PROJECT APPROVAL If it is the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council to approve the proposed project, the Planning Department recommends that the rezoning to PCD be approved with an "Office/Professional" land use category as opposed to a "Local Retail Commercial" land use category which is being requested by the applicant. It is the Planning Department's analysis that such a modification to the original proposal will lessen the impact on the surrounding residential properties by eliminating local retail uses. * f it is the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council to approve this project as submitted, a condition sho~ld be attached to the rezoning approval to limit uses in the 15,000 square foot office building to those uses permitted under the C-1 (Office/Professional) zoning district regulations. In connection with any approval of this project, it is further recommended that such approval be predicated upon the applicant agreeing to the following set of ~onditions: (1) That the applicant be required to submit a modified master plan indicating a height limitation of'one (1) story and providing for any limitation placed on this project as noted in paragraph #1 and #2 above. (2) That the utility improvements be constructed as per the requirements of the Utilities Department listed in the memorandum which appears in exhibit G. (3) That the developer furnish the Lake Worth Drainage District with the required rights-of-way for Lateral Canal #24 and Equalizing Canal #4 as noted in the correspondence from the Lake Worth Drainage District which appears in exhibit G. (4) That the developer be required to dedicate 60 feet from centerline for the ultimate right-of-way for Boynton Beach Boulevard. . Ca.~ {f~ Carmen S. Ann ziato 10 EXHIBIT "e" dnOtl!) ",al.eM.
