RECOMMENDATION: Please place the request below on the January 6,1998 City Commission meeting agenda under
Consent - Ratification of Planning and Development Board Actions. The Planning and Development Board with a 6-0 vote, , ~
recommended denial of the variance to allow a reduction of the minimum side yard setback requirement from 30 feet to 10
feel The first code requirement for being granted a variance is there must be a hardship. It is the finding of staff that the
applicant experiences no hardship in this situation. This conclusion is based, in part. on the following reasons: 1) the
commercial setback (10 feet) is not justified as the Woolbright Road corridor is not evolving into a commercial corridor
given the existence of low intensity uses such as the city park and cemetery that line the southern side of Woolbright Road;
2) the character of this southern side of Woolbright Road would be altered by the further decrease in the side setback for this
mausoleum; and 3) reliefto this situation may be achieved through alternative design solutions which would comply with
city regulations (see "AL TERNA TIVES" below). For further details pertaining to this request, see attached Planning and
Zoning Memorandum No. 97-586.

Variance
Request:
Variance from the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations,
Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 5.J.2 to allow a reduction of the minimum side
yard setback requirement from 30 feet to 10 feet.
BACKGROUND
The subject property, Boynton Beach Mausoleum, is located southwest of the intersection
of Seacrest Boulevard and Woolbright Road, see Exhibit uAD - Location Map and Exhibit
liB" - Survey. The property is zoned PU, Public Usage District. The subject site is used as
a cemetery and contains a mausoleum structure.
As the result of the recent addition to the mausoleum, the building was expanded up to the
side setback line (30 feet). The side yard of this property is that area abutting Woolbright
Road. The petitioner is proposing a further expansion oflhe northern wing of the
mausoleum building that would allow construction of an additional 96 crypts, see Exhibit
uC" - Site Plan. In order to accommodate this expansion, the property manager's agent
filed a sign variance application with the city, see Exhibit liD" - Application.
The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that
surround the subject property:

ANALYSIS
The City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section 5.J.2 sets
forth a 30 feet side setback for buildings located on properties zoned Public Usage and
which abut residential districts.
The south side of Woolbright Road, between Interstate 1-95 and Seacrest Boulevard, with
the exception of the mausoleum structure, does not contain any other buildings.
Woolbright Road is an 80 foot wide right-of-way and has been widened to its ultimate
width. No further development is anticipated in this vicinity since a city park and the
cemetery are the only uses along the south side of this section of Woolbright Road. The
northern side of this stretch of Woolbright Road is developed and zoned residential. The
city's Comprehensive Plan allows for conversion of the land use to OC (Office
Commercial) and LRC (Local Retail Commercial) if parcels are consolidated for
redevelopment.
The above considerations are further elaborated by the applicant in Exhibit "E" - Statement
of Special Conditions.
The code states that zoning code variances cannot be approved unless the board finds the
following:
a. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,
structure, or building involVed and which are not applicable to other lands, structures
or buildings in the same zoning district.
b. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
c. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special

privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, buildings, or structures in the
same zoning district.
d. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this ordinance would deprive the applicant
of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the
terms of the ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the
applicant.
e. That the variance grahted is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building, or structure.
f. That the grant of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose
of this chapter [ordinance] and that such variance will not be injurious to the area
involved or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Unlike other development applications, the code does not require staff to make a
recommendation regarding whether an applicant meets the above criteria warranting a
variance to the city's ordinance.
According to the tax maps the cemetery complex is comprised of six separate parcels of land.
It is recommended that, if the Planning and Development Board and City Commission grant
this variance, a condition be attached to the approval requiring the applicant to complete and
record a unity of title document. This condition is included in Exhibit "Fit - Conditions of
Approval.

applicable to other I.nd., .tructure. or bUilding. in the same
zoning dl.trlct:
Special conditions and circumstances exist on this lot because the lot fronts on Seacrest
Boulevard and the side setback is on Woolbright Road. The Comprehensive Plan
designation for this area is Commercial. Because of two residential lots (which have a
Land Use designation of Commercial), the side setb.ck is 26' feet instead of 10' feet if
those two lots were zoned Commercial. Woolbright Road, a very busy access to 1-95, is
a major east-west thoroughfare which would not support residential zoning much less
residential land use.
The residential properties across from the Mausoleum to the north are left over from a
time prior to the construction of the interstate when this was a residential area.
B. That the specl.1 conditions and clrcumstences do not result from
the actions of the applicant:
The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
The expansion of the Mausoleum to within 10 feet of Woolbright Road is allowable in an
area zoned Commercial. The evolution of this area to full Commercial is almost complete
with the exception of the 2 homes across from the Mausoleum. With a Future land Use
designation of Commercial in place for this area, these lots will become commercial
property in the future.
c. That gr.nting the v.rlance reque.ted will not confer on the
applicant .ny specl.1 privilege that Is denied by thl. ordln.nce to
other I.nds, building. or structures In the ..me zoning district:
Granting this variance will not confer on the applic.nt any special privilege that is denied
by this ordinance to other lands in the same zoning district. Variances would be granted
to other properties with similar situations in the same zoning district. When areas are
evolving from residential character to commercial charecter, there is a time frame in
which confllcte occur between what was allowed In the past and what will be allowed in
the future. This is such a case. The character of the area is commercial now, but the
zoning designation does not fully reflect this hlct. The variance that is being requested at
this time is in compliance with the commercial district which i. evolving on Woolbright
Road.
D. Th.t IIter.1 Interpret.tlon of the provision. of thl. chapter would
deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other
propertle. In the s.me zoning district under the terms of the
Ordinance .nd would work unn.c....ry and undue h.rdship on the
applicant:
Uteral interpretation of the provIsions of this chapter of the code would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under
the same terms of the Ordinance and would work unnecessary and undue hardship on the
applicant. In similar zoning districts (Commercial), the side setback is 10' feet and not

25' feet as is required in this situation. Due to the changed character of the area and
Woolbright Road becoming a major east-west thoroughfare. a 10' foot side setback in a
Commercial ~oning District would be the normal side setback.
The 1 5 additional feet that this variance is requesting will allow an additional 96 crypts in
the Mausoleum. This represents a gain of revenue to the City of Boynton Beach which it
uses for the upkeep and perpetual care of the cemetery. The City receives proceeds from
each crypt to offset expenses incurred to maintain the Boynton Beach Cemetery.
E. That the variance granted Is the minimum variance that will make
possible the reasonable use of the land. building or structure;
This variance to be granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the ability to
fully expand the Mausoleum and use the property to its fullest potential. It also allows
the setback to be as it is any other commercial area along a busy thoroughfare.
F. That the 9rentlng of the var.lance will be In harmony with the
generel Intent and purpose of this chapter and that such variance
will not be Injurious to the area Involved or otherwise detrimental
to the public welfare.
Granting the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this
chapter and granting the variance will not be injurious to the area involved or detrimental
to the public welfare. The area is commercial in nature. The Mausoleum will be setback
10' feet from Woolbright Road which is a very busy east-west 1 20' foot wide
thoroughfare. Woolbright Road separates the Mausoleum from commercial properties on
the north side of the street. The 1 O' foot setback is customary in this situation in any
commercial area. The expansion does not affect the High Point Condominium community
to the south because the expansion is on the north side only; therefore, granting the
setback variance would not be injurious to any residential developments in this area.
The property to the west contains the Boynton Beach Little league fields. to the east is
the cemetery, and the only residential properties in this area are to the south and north of
the commercial properties on the north side of Woolbright Road.

would be much more legible. Also, the lines of the lettering coincide with the lines of the
building and this has a great deal to do with the legibility of the sign. He suggested that by
staying away from the horizontal lines of the building by two or three inches, the sign will be
better pronounced and better read.
Mr. Caraccio agreed with Mr. Kastarlak; however, he stated that the drawing is somewhat
deceiving. It is a sign band and, therefore, does not present horizontal lines. Also, he pointed
out that the purpose of the lettering with dimension is not just for aesthetic purposes. It is also
for the purpose of being able to illuminate it at night and being able to conceal the neon.
Motion
Mr. Rosenstock moved to deny the request of Canterbury Realty for a variance to Chapter 21 -
Signs, Article IV, Section 2.C of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations to allow an
increase in the allowable square footage of a wall sign from 150 square feet to 187 square feet.

Description:
Harvey Oyer resides at 227 S.W. 15th Avenue, directly opposite the proposed extension of the
mausoleum. He felt the City should abide by its rules and regulations. He opposed this request
because he did not think there is a hardship, because there are a lot of accidents in this area
and it would block the view of the people coming out of Highpoint and the ballpark.
Mike Agnello, 208 Bermuda Lane, Palm Beach, owns rental property next to Harvey Oyer's
property, in addition to several other properties on Woolbright Road, including Woolbright Plaza.
He concurred with Mr. Oyer's comments and did not find any merit for granting this variance. In
addition, he did not think this would be aesthetically pleasing.
Beril Kruger was sworn in by Attorney Pawelczyk. Mr. Kruger stated that the only visibility that
would be blocked is to the east. In addition, although the land use on the property across the
street is residential, the underlying land use is commercial. Therefore, any development that
will be done in the future on those properties will be done as commercial. With regard to further
redevelopment in this area, nobody is going to be building on the ball fields and nobody else is
going to be building on the cemetery. Therefore, there will not be any more development on

the south side of Woolbright Road from Seacrest Boulevard to 1-95. It is built out, except for the
mausoleum.
There will be trees planted along the east portion of the property. The main access to the
mausoleum and the cemetery is from Seacrest Boulevard. Any commercial development along
Woolbright Road on a side access or a side property line is permitted to build 10 feet from
Woolbright Road as long as access is on another side street. The access is on Seacrest
Boulevard; therefore, this is a side setback. He pointed out that the City is not asking for this
variance. The City owns the property and has a contract with the developer for the mausoleum.
Mr. Aguila felt the proposed addition is too close to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Mr.
Rosenstock agreed with Mr. Aguila and pointed out that we just had a joint workshop where we
discussed beautification, setbacks, and greenery within the City.
Mr. Reed did not think that this meets the requirements for a variance. Mr. Aguila felt the owner
has a lot of other reasonable use of the entire cemetery property. He did not think the board
would be preventing the owner from reasonable use of his land by not allowing this 20-foot
addition.
Mr. Kruger stated that this piece of property is long and narrow. The owner does not own the
entire cemetery. The City does. He read the six reasons justifying this variance. (This
information was provided in the backup material with the agenda.) He stated that in most
commercial areas, a variance would not be needed because a 10-foot side setback is permitted
in a commercial zoning district. He pointed out that there is access to Seacrest Boulevard,
there is a side setback on Woolbright Road, and there will be landscaping placed between the
side of the mausoleum and Woolbright Road. The building will not block the view of people
coming out of that road onto Woolbright Road. Traffic coming from the west would be visible to
any traffic coming out of the side road. The only reason a variance is needed is because there
are still two residential properties with an underlying land use of commercial.
Mr. Aguila pointed out that according to the Public Usage District, which this is zoned, a side
setback must be 15 feet if it does not abut residential.
Motion
Mr. Rosenstock moved to deny the request by the Boynton Beach Mausoleum, Inc. for a
variance to Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 5.J.2 of the Boynton Beach Land Development
Regulations to allow a reduction of the minimum side yard setback requirements from 30 feet to
10 feet. Mr. Dube seconded the motion.
Mr. Aguila clarified that if this did not abut a residential district, the best the owner could legally
do is 15 feet. Therefore, his request for 10 feet is above and beyond what everybody else
enjoys.
The motion carried 6-0.
