Re: Jonathan's Grove
Rectified Master Plan
Dear Tambri,
Please find enclosed a copy of the rectified Subdivision Master Plan for Jonathan's Grove. In
accordance with your August 17, 1993 memo to Vince, the wall location has been corrected on
the plan view to conform with Section B-B. The wall height is 6 foot.
With regard to the second comment, I have enclosed a portion of the lot calculation sheet for lot
areas which indicates all of the lots are at or above the 9590 square footage minimum required
of this subdivi$iQD....Jhere is no minimum lot depth required on this Master Plan, nor was there
ever a minimum lot depth required as a condition of Zoning or annexation. While it is true that
a 9590 square foot lot with a minimum 70 foot lot width does require a lot depth of 137, it is
possible to have a 9590 square foot lot with a lot width exceeding 70 foot that would not be 137
foot deep. For instance, lot 13, which is 70.20 foot wide by 136.63 foot deep has an area in
excess of 9590 square foot.
Also enclosed are copies of the minutes of the January 4, 1989 special City Commission Meeting
and the January 12, 1989 memo from you to the file listing 5 specific conditions of approval for
this subdivision. Nowhere in the minutes or in your memo is a minimum lot depth of 137 feet
specified. All minimums refer to lot frontage (70') and lot area (9590 square feet). The only
specific reference to a lot depth of 137 occurs in page 17 of the January 4th minutes in the
context previously noted, i.e. a minimum size lot of 9590 square foot with a minimum lot frontage
of 70 foot would have a depth of 137 foot.
I trust this will allow the rectified Master Plan to be accepted by the Planning & Zoning
Department. If you should have any unresolved questions on this matter, please call Scott
Bennewitz or myself on this matter.

Request to show annexed land as "Low
Density Residential" and to rezone from
AR (Agricultural Residential) to R-lA
(Single Family Residential) to permit
the development of a 33 lot single
family subdivision
Jim Golden explained the location of the subject project,
and stated there is a mature citrus grove on the property
which is commercially productive. He noted that in 1985 the
project was processed under the name of Honeybell Hollow (a
townhouse project). In 1985 Staff recommended that the PUD
be denied as the desire was to keep the land for R-1AAA
zoning for large single family homes to be constructed with
low density land use. The desire was to keep the area rural
in nature and optimize preservation of the citrus grove.
The applicant withdrew his request at that time. In 1986
when the 1986 E&A Report was adopted, this area was included
in Area 45 which was to be comparable with the developed
parcels in the area. The gross density was to be not more
than~43ldw~~n~~8APeklaC~~ Staff recommended rezoning
to R-1AAB or a higher zoning district such as R-1AAA. The

R-lAAA zoning and Mr. Walshak felt that R-1A would be ade-
quate.
Description:
In answer to Commissioner Olenik's question, Mr. Golden
stated that R-1~ would place the project just under 3
units per acre (2.8). The lots would be 9,000 square feet
per lot.
Kieran J. Kilday, Kilday and Associates, came forward to
represent Mr. and Mrs. Mangiacapra, contract purchasers of
the property. The Mangiacapras are developers who
currently build single family homes in Boynton Beach. They
wish to develop a single family subdivision located on
Lawrence Road. Mr. Kilday stated that the only real issue
.

was what zoning district was appropriate. The developer
noted that the property is only 334' wide and very long
(over 1200' in length). When the land is laid out with a
60' right-of-way and 100' cul-de-sac (per City standards),
they end up with lots which are extremely deep lots. They
are l37' deep as a minimum. Mr. Kilday referred to some
drawings of what the lots would look like for the three
zoning categories. R-1AAB would allow for a 9000 square
foot lot minimum, but would allow for lOO' depth and 90'
frontage. They would end up with a 12000 square foot lot if
they designed a 137' lot with a 90' frontage. By going,to

Mr. Kilday requested that they be annexed in and allowed the
R-IA designation, with the stipulations that the minimum lot
size would be 9590 square feet and they would keep the l800
square feet of livable area in the homes. He showed some
floor plans and elevations of the type homes the
Mangiacapras build.
Mr. Kilday continued that if they take the 90' frontage
requirement and apply to this subdivision, they would lose
six lots and end up with 27 lots. He had done a survey of
the developments in the surrounding area. All those appro-
vals had been for a much higher density than they were
requesting. This is a mixed use area. They wish to build a
quality product but must be cognizant of the surrounding
properties. There are some nurseries and housing which has
been neglected, as well as nice homes. To lose six lots by
coming up with 12000 square foot lots would make it very
difficult as this would be out of character with the area.
Mr. Kilday stated they do wish to come into the city and
plan to use City water and sewage. They wi.ll pave streets
and sidewalks. He noted from the Staff notes that in the
City of Boynton, of all the future housing, it is expected
that at build out there would be an additional 125 lots
exceeding 8000 square feet. He felt that their request was
very compatible with the City's needs.
,
Mayor Marchese clarified that what the developer was really
requesting was an R-lA so that a house in excess of 9500
square feet could be built, and would allow them to keep the
six lots they would lose otherwise.
Commissioner Olenik had a procedural question, and asked if
it would be possible as the City annexes them in to make
stipulations on the approval. Mr. Annunziato felt that with

Mayor Marchese asked if there would be any real problems
with allowing the developer to put in his 33 homes in accor-
dance with his request for R-lA. Mr. Annunziato stated they
had taken the po'sition there was an established character.
He referred to the homes to the north and west which are on
large lots. That happended as they are built with well and
septic tank and the minimun requirement is one acre. One
acre lots in a rural setting have resulted in some rather
substantial homes being built. They were concerned about
preserving that type of residential character. He pointed
out the properties to the north noting the excessive lot
sizes. Mr. Annunziato felt this would be a quality deve-
lopment but the issue was whether or not it made sense in
this rustic setting with orange groves to have lots with 70'
frontage with fairly large homes. He felt the homes could
possibly be built from setback to setback. This could
create a view of houses on top of houses. Mr. Annunziato
asked Mr. Kilday if he felt there was another alternative in
this case than what he had proposed.
Commissioner Olenik asked if the property had been a
narrower piece, and R-1AAB had 9000 square feet minimum, if
they could still be building from setback to setback. The
longer lots would allow them greater open space from front
to back. Mr. Annunziato stated the difference was in lot
frontage. R-lA could be as low as 60', R-lAA is minimum of
70', and R-1AAB is 90'.
Mr. Kilday stated that every lot is very critical to the
developer. They had put in a lift station for the water and
sewer. To go to R-lAA (70' minimum frontage) would mean a
loss of 2 lots out of this subdivision. That would be bet-
ween the staff recommendation and the developer's recommen-
dation. He noted this sounded like a good compromise, but
he did not feel that an extra 5' would visually make much
difference in the neighborhood. It would make the cost of
spreading out of water~ sewage and roads more of an economi-
cal impact on the development. Every lot is important when
referring to only 33 lots.
Mayor Marchese did not feel that the narrower lot would make
that much difference since the lots are 137' deep.
City Manager Cheney asked what the side yard would be, and
Mr. Annunziato replied 7!'. Mr. Kilday stated that the
plans they had shown at this meeting would all allow a
couple of feet above the setback.
.

MINUTES - SPECIAL CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 4, 1989
Commissioner Olenik asked if the stipulation would go with
the land and not the owner. Mr. Annunziato stated it would
be their position that the stipulation would go with the
land as it goes with the rezoning.
As this was a PUBLIC HEARING, Mayor Marchese asked if anyone
wished to speak in favor of the request.
Beverly Mangiacapra, 703 S.W. 24th Avenue, with a business
at 310 South Federal, came forward to speak in favor of the
request. She has owned Boynton Bay Realty for nine years.
She does business in the City as well as west. They have
built approximately 40 homes behind the Mall (which is
County). They were not allowed to build any more than 1000
square feet due to the septic tanks and wells. They wish to
build bigger homes. She noted that the four homes being
spoken about are in the County. She did not feel that four
homes should determine what goes into that area. She
referred to Lawrence Woods which has homes which are 60'.
Homes that large in this area would not sell for the price
which would be required. She also noted some of the homes
in Cypress Creek are built on 80' wide lots. Price wise it
would not be feasible to do this subdivision unless it can
be done so they are in the market. She noted that with the
depth of the lots they can set some back further or up
further. It will also be walled all around and would be a
first class subdivision. She felt the property values
around would be enhanced and not hurt.
Mayor Marchese asked if anyone wished to speak AGAINST the
project.
Morgan S. Bragg, 3989 71st Avenue South, came forward. He
lives in one of the four homes which are north of the pro-
ject. He represented the other property owners on 7lst
Avenue South. He also felt he spoke for the owner of the
parcel immediately south of this project (K&W Nursery). He
gave the square footage of the homes in his area and the
acreage of each. Parcel #308 has a 3/2 home with family
room on 1.6 acres which Mr. Bragg owns and rents out. #308
is a two story Home with 4000 square feet on 2.15 acrea. It
has setbacks of approximately 90' on each side. There isa
major front yard as the house is set back towards the back of
the lot. East of that is a parcel with 2.17 acres with a
3/2 home of approximately 2500 suqare feet. #3l0 has 1.69
acres with a 2200 square foot home located on it. On the
end is another 1.69 acre lot with approximately a 2500
square foot home on that. All the homes except 307 face
south. West of Lawrence Road are parcels which are approxi-
mately 1 acre. Mr. Bragg noted that in 1976 the request to
-19-

rezone was denied as it was not compatible with the neigh-
borhood and would create a higher density than required. He
felt that the parcel would be developed residentially. He
felt the area had not changed except for developments which
are located l/2 to 3/4 o~ a mile south of Lawrence Road. In
the immediate area, everything looks the same. With the 70'
wide lots with 7!' setbacks all you would see would be a
wall of homes from 7lst Avenue. They were concerned about
looking at the backyards of approximately 4 homes from each
of their properties. He understood that it was not a con-
dition which could be imposed to build a wall. Mr.
Annunziato agreed it was not a zoning code requirement. Mr.
Bragg was concerned about things being stored in the
backyards as well. He requested that the proposal be
denied. He noted that it would exceed the density allowed
for the area. He also stated that the owners of the four
homes north of this property are not presently in the City,
but he felt that at some point in time they would be brought
into the City.
As no one else wished to speak IN FAVOR or AGAINST the
request, THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Motion on Annexation
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the request to annex a
9.38 acre tract of land known as Jonathan's Grove located on
the east side of Lawrence Road, approximately 700 feet south
of Hypoluxo Road. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Hester
and carried 4-0.
Motion on Land Use Element and Rezoning
Commissioner Olenik stated that a wall was not required by
law, but asked if the developer would consider providing a
wall to berm the area to the north. Mr. Kilday stated that
they always wall their developments, and they would be happy
to stipulate to that.
Vice Mayor Hest~r felt; this was getting to be a walled in
City. He felt hedges might be OK, but personally he was
tired of seeing so many walls.
Commissioner Weiner asked if she could make the motion sub-
ject to staff comments. City Attorney Rea asked if the
staff comments related to the zoning and was told that was
~he case. Mayor Marchese asked if they could approve the 33
lots as R-lA how the motion was to be made. City Attorney
Rea stated that should be subject to staff comments and the
stipulations made.

Attached please find a submittal package for Master SubdiVl i _ ~val for the 10 acre
Jonathans Grove site located on the east side of Lawrence Road approximately 1,000

Master Plan, Traffic Study, service letters, Master Storm Water Management Plan and
submittal fees. Gee & Jenson will be acting as agents for MIl Homes in their processing
of this application.
Jonathans Grove
Dear Vince:
In addition to the Subdivision Master Plan Submittal, we are requesting a variance from
the Code of Ordinances, Appendix .C", Section 1. Access. This section requires that
points of access to lots within a subdivision be a minimum of 180 feet from intersecting
lines of right-of-way with classifications higher than a local street. This situation will exist
at the entrance to Jonathans Grove. Lots 1, 2, 31 and 32 will have driveways within this
distance. Lots 3 and 30 could also have a minimal encroachment depending upon the
location of their driveways. We are requesting a variance from this requirement to allow
driveways to access the Jonathans Grove internal roadway within this 180 feet.
Jonathans Grove is a 10 acre parcel with limited frontage on Lawrence Road.
Maintaining the 180 feet of throat distance would severely impact development of the
western portion of the site for single family lots. Minimum lot widths and lot areas
established as part of the Land Use Amendment and Rezoning have dictated the layout
of the site. This proposed plan has 32 lots which is dne lot less than the rezoning
approval due to the on-site provision of water management facilities. Restrictions ptaced
upon access to lots would further reduce the number of lots below the current rezoning
approval.
Another element important to consideration of this variance is the small size of this
project. With only 32 lots, which equates to a total of 320 trips per day, there will not be
a problem with traffic backing up at the entrance to the development when cars are

Dear Mr. Sharman:
I
As requeste~, PSI/Jammal Division has completed a subsoil study
for the dryi retention area within Jonathan's Grove in Boynton
Beach, Florida. The results of this study are presented herein
and include the factual information obtained in the field.
I
Subsurface conditions within the dry retention pond area were
explored with three (3) auger borings dril~ed to a depth of 7
feet below existing grades. The collected samples were field
classified, placed in sealed containers, and returned to the
laboratory for visual classification. ln addition, one (1)
double ring infiltrometer test was completed near Boring Number
AB-2 to evaluate the permeability of the in-situ soils.
The auger borings disclosed the soil profile of this site
consist Of clean an. sands to the terminal

permeability of a". '" . ~~ay E:UiU!B~fM~. ThlS
number refl~cts the permea 1 lt~f the upper clean sands found
within the ,borehole. We believe the permeability within the
hardpan type soils will be considerably lower than the value
measured folr the upper clean sands. The performance of the dry
retention area will be enhanced if the hardpan soils are removed
and replaced with clean sands.
I
We recommend a more detailed study be completed for the final
design stage, including elevation surveying, 50 that surface and
groundwater measurements can be plotted to'the National Geodetic
Vertical Datum (NGVD).
