approximately 400 feet east of Congress
Avenue - 1301-1313 W. Boynton Beach
Boulevard
Request for approval to replace the existing
awnings of the eastern-most building to allow a
change in color from white to yellow and white
stripes.
The one condition of approval submitted by staff was to retain the barrel canopies on
the eastern building as white, or change the color to match the building or the awning
color on the main building.
Robert Bentz of Land Design South and Stewart Denholtz, owner of the Cross Creek
Centre. were present. Mr.- Bentz advised that in 1987, this was approved with the
awning request before this board this evening. This center was originally designed by
Gene Lawrence. His intent was to design a simple building in one monotone color and
have an accent on that building, which were the awnings, The awnings were yellow and
white, not the standard yellow or white as they are today, to give them definition from
the remaining portion of the center. It was Mr. Lawrence's intent to make the

architectural elements that protrude from the building that identify the access points into
that portion of the office building stand out differently than the remaining portion of the
property. Today these buildings are a monotone color and have no definition and do
not stand out. By putting the band on the awnings, it was Mr. Lawrence's intent to
provide a depth to the overall building and give it some definition and delineation from
the remaining portion of the center. He requested the board's approval to allow the
applicant to replace the two semi-circular awnings with the yellow and white banding
that was originally approved 10 years ago, return to the original architectural theme, and
provide better delineation.
He said staff is recommending that they be either yellow, white, or tan. The members of
the board were provided with a brochure showing the center when it was first built. It
was an artist's rendition showing the yellow and white banding as requested.
Chairman Wische inquired about staff's objection to the yellow and white. Ms. Heyden
did not feel staff should overturn a decision that was made by a previous City
Commission.
Mr. Aguila was in favor of the two colors. He pointed out that there are some dead trees
that have not been replaced for a few years, and he wished somebody would do
something about that.
Mr. Dube preferred all tan or all white, but not all yellow or yellow and white. He felt it
would be too garish.
Mr. Reed had no problem with either design. He felt this was a matter of personal
preference rather than some principle and that we should let the developer do what he
thinks is best for his property.
Mr. Myott asked if the applicant is proposing to install the end caps on the awnings as
shown in the renderings versus how the awnings were installed. Mr. Bentz did not
propose to install the end caps as shown in the renderings. Mr. Myott preferred white.
Mr. Friedland felt yellow and white would be an interesting, bright, and cheerful
approach as opposed to monotone.
Ms, Frazier felt the rendering was beautiful and pointed out that because of the yellow
awning, everybody knows exactly where Cross Creek is.
Mr. Rosenstock believes that when the Commission originally promulgated a sign code,
all existing yellow signs were given a certain length of time to be removed. That sign
code was abandoned, but he still thinks it was right. He felt yellow was a garish color.

It is a color that does not fit in with the fundamental coloring in certain areas of the City.
He ag reed with staff.
Chairman Wische stated that his wife was on the Community Appearance Board. At
that time, there was a lot of controversy about the colors. Everyone thought yellow
would be way out of line, but after it was up a while, everyone thought it was beautiful.
There was a new innovation the way it was done and it was easy to identify. He went to
every meeting and was in favor of the yellow and white and against all white. He
thought all white did nothing for it. He still feels the same way.
Chairman Wische opened the public hearing. A citizen in the audience liked the yellow
and white.
Motion
Mr. Aguila moved to approve the applicant's request for the yellow and white canvas
awning at the Cross Creek Centre, without the front face as it currently exists. Mr.
Friedland seconded the motion, which carried 4-3. Messrs. Rosenstock, Dube and
Myott cast the dissenting votes.
B. Other
Discussion
1. Draft agenda for a joint Planning and Development Board, City
Commission and Chamber of Commerce workshop (tentatively
11/3/97 at 7:00 p.m.) regarding architectural design,
landscaping of nonconforming properties and illumination
levels for gas stations/convenience stores.
A draft of the agenda for the joint Planning and Development Board, City Commission,
and Chamber of Commerce workshop was provided in the backup material with the
agenda.
Mr. Rosenstock asked what the Chamber of Commerce has to do with lighting levels,
etc. Ms. Heyden explained that the landscape issue of nonconforming properties was
brought up by one of the Commissioners about a month ago. All the Commissioners
thought it was time to do something with this issue that had been discussed about a
year ago in connection with the Community Appearance Code. Staff also had some
concern about architectural design issues and this board being split. This makes it
difficult for staff to make recommendations. Staff does not want to lead the applicants
down one path only to have things reversed by the Planning and Development Board. It
is important that we get clear direction from this board. The City Manager felt it was

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA OCTOBER 18, 1988
described in O. R. Book 3494, page 148,
Palm Beach County Public Records
Description: SITE PLANS - Request for site plan and
shared parking approval to allow for
construction of a 4,350 square foot
fellowship hall and a change in parking lot
layout and design.
The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended appro-
val of this request, subject to staff comments.
After a brief description by Jim Golden, Commissioner Weiner
moved to approve the request by St. Joseph's Episcopal
Church for site plan and shared parking approval to allow
for construction of a 4,350 square foot fellowship hall and
a change in parking lot layout and design. Motion was
seconded by Commissioner Mann and carried 5-0.
H. Discussion of Color - Cross Creek Shopping Center
City Manager Cheney stated that the developer requested that
they be allowed to put up a $30,000 cash bond to cover what-
ever might need to be done to satisfy everyone regarding
the color issue of this project. This would allow them to
go ahead and execute leases and get the facility open in the
fall and prior to the holiday season. City Manager Cheney
recommended this cash bond be accepted. City Manager Cheney
further explained that the material had to be replaced due
to the fact it was not fire resistant material. When the
material was changed, a color shade resulted although it was
the same color description. The developer realizes this is
a problem. The CAB unanimously recommended to the
Commission that a change in awning material be allowed so
that which is presently existing could remain. The stipula-
tion was made that the office canopy (the tall one on the
east buildings) be changed to a solid white canopy. This is
the awning which sticks about 25' into the air in a semi-
circle fashion.
Mayor Marchese noted that Steve Rhodes, representing this
development, agreed to do the following at the CAB meeting:
1) remove the yellow from the 25' high devices, 2) if the
City would not hamper him he would go to two colors (blue
and turquoise) for the signage, and 3) to make a decision as
to whether the signs would go above or below the canopy. He
favored putting them below, but needed to talk to the deve-
loper. Mayor Marchese had no problem in going along with
Mr. Rhodes and he found him to be very cooperative. Vice
Mayor Hester stated that it was his feeling that the boards
should pay more attention to matters when approving colors.
He felt that once a decision was made it should be the best
-17-

decision possible. He understood that three colors had pre-
viously been approved for this project. Changes can be
made, but he felt more attention should be paid when
approving colors. He noted that the CAB had also approved
the yellow color for the canopies.
Mayor Marchese agreed and felt it was unfortunate that the
yellow was such a bright, shiny material.
Commissioner Olenik questioned the decision of putting the
signs above or below the canopies. He did not want to hide
them from the road if they were placed below the canopies.
Mayor Marchese noted that Mr. Rhodes requested he be allowed
to discuss this with the developer.
Mr. Annunziato noted there were signs already installed and
they are above the canopy. Mayor Marchese stated that he
would go with the use of the two colors as approved by the
CAB.
Vice Mayor Hester moved that the City Commission was in
agreement with the decisions made at the Community
Appearance Board at their meeting held October 17, 1988.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Olenik and carried 5-0.
After a short break, the meeting resumed at 8:00 P. M.

Request elevation change to commercial

Eugene Lawrence, Architect, The Lawrence Group, 205 Worth
Avenue, Palm Beach, FL 33480, said they were asked to
appear before the CAB because of the color of'the awnings.
There was a change in material, and he had samples of the
materials that were approved and the materials that were
installed. The material he passed around was a Sunbrella
material that was approved when the applicant appeared
before. Mr. Lawrence stated that the material was ~vailable
in several fire rated colors.
.
"
In the time span between the installation and when the\
material was installed, there was a requirement of the City
that the material be fire rated. This color was not fir,
rated. After searching a number of companies, Mr. Lawrence
said they came up with a color they believed to be the

closest match that they could possibly make. He showed it
to the Board Members and told them it is fire rated. Mr.
Lawrence did not know if they were asking for approval or a
sense of the Board.
Mrs. Wische asked if Mr. Lawrence would consider changing
one of the colors on the canopy to white. Mr. Lawrence's
client was not present but had instructed him that if the
Board wanted the two barrel balls in the office building all
white, they would do that. He told Chairman Berman that
they would be lighted from below. The applicant would do
that at their expense in order to make everybody happy.
Mrs. Wische noticed that two signs are already up, and one
is a suitable color in one color. Almost next door to it is
a cleaning store that has a sign with more than one color.
The part that says "One hour" is aqua. All of the rest is
blue except for a logo. She wanted the Board to request
that the applicant stay with one color. Chairman Berman
asked what was approved originally, and Mrs. Wische answered,
"Three." Mrs. Wische did not think it would be too expensive
for the "One Hour" and the logo to be changed to the one
color. Then Cross Creek Centre would have one color through-
out.
Mr. Lawrence had no authority to make that decision. The
issue with the awning cover was discussed with him, but the
issue with the signs was not. Mr. Lawrence said he could
take this up with his client. Chairman Berman said the CAB
would appreciate it if Mr. Lawrence would come back before
the Board when he gets an answer.
Mr. Jaeger called attention to the request on the agenda,
which was for an elevation change. He asked if Mr. Lawrence
was requesting that it be deleted from the agenda. Mr.
Lawrence replied that they are not going forward with the
elevation change. He was before the P&Z Board last week.
There had been a request for a change in the sign parapet,
which Mr. Lawrence said he withdrew at the P&Z Board meeting.
Mr. Jaeger stated that the applicant was withdrawing what
was on the agenda tonight.
Tomorrow (October 18, 1988), Mr. Jaeger said the City
Commission will discuss the issue of the colors, and the
CAB should send them a recommendation. If they wanted to
include the issue of signage, they should do so. If Mr.
Lawrence's client wanted him to, Mr. Jaeger said he could
address that issue. Mr. Lawrence thought that was a very
fair situation.

OCTOBER 17, 1988
Vice Chairwoman Sheridan asked if each of the colors on the
canopy were separate strips. Mr. Lawrence replied that they
are yellow and white, but as he understood the mechanics of
it, all of that awning would have to come down and be
remade. He informed her that the background of the building
is a couple of shades of gray. Vice Chairwoman Sheridan
thought it was cream colored, and she wanted the applicant
to think about whether a beige canopy would be more
attractive, if he was taking all of the strips down. Mr.
Lawrence stated that the applicant may be able to use some
of the awning.
Mr. Lawrence told the Members that there are hundreds of
shades of whites, grays, and beiges. Because of the differ-
ence in the level of intensity of the light, he tended to
think that when the yellow is removed, they will find more
compatibility with the basic color of the building. They are
getting a spill from the yellow at this point. There were
further comments. Chairman Berman pointed out that they
were discussing something that was not on the agenda.
Mr. Jones moved, seconded by Mrs. Shuman, to DELETE the
request for elevation change to the commercial building at
Cross Creek Centre from the agenda. Motion carried 7-0.
Discussion re Canopies at Cross Creek Centre
If they fire proof any material at all, Mrs. Shuman asked
if that would mean it would reflect light. Mr. Lawrence
answered that the Sunbrella fabric had a material that was
at one time impregnated into the fiber, which was a woven
material. The reason it was pulled from the market was
because it would not hold the color. Mr. Lawrence said
they went through 15 or 20 materials and could not find one
other than the other material the Members had that could get
fire rated. He elaborated.
Discussion re Signs at Cross Creek Centre
Mrs. Shuman recalled that they recommended that in the
future all signs should have one color for each sign and not
three different colors. Mr. Jaeger informed the Members
that the colors were blue, turquoise, and red. Chairman
Berman recollected that the Members were actually shown the
three colors.

Discussion re Canopies (Continued)
Mr. Lawrence stated that there are two office building -.'
canopies, and his client authorized him to say they would,
change them to all white. For clarification, Mr. Jaeger--
said the applicant was requesting a change of materials for
the awning. If the Board wanted to condition the change of
materials upon the change in the awning over the office
building to be solid white, they can make that recommenda-
tion to the Commission.
In the evening when the light reflects, Mrs. Lubin recalled
that it seemed translucent, and she asked if these would
show the same way as they do now. Mr. Lawrence replied that
they would and he told of the experiments they did.
Motion
Mrs. Wische moved to condition the change of materials upon
the change in the awning over the office building to be
solid white, seconded by Vice Chairwoman Sheridan. Motion
carried 7-0.
Discussion re Signs (Continued)
Mrs. Wische repeated her previous request to have the
turquoise removed from the signs. Chairman Berman advised
that the signs had been approved but he stated that she
could request the applicant to make a change. Mr. Lawrence
said he would pass it on to his client.
Chairman Berman asked if the Board wanted to recommend to
the City Commission that the signs be one and the same color.
The Members answered affirmatively.
Comments by City Commission, Mr. Lawrence, and Members
Commissioner Olenik interjected that he thought the City
Commission, a year or so ago, agreed with the recommendation
of the Board to have three differen~ colors for the signs.
It was his understanding that they could not change that
vote, but he suggested the CAB might want to discuss it with
the City Attorney. Commissioner Olenik asked whether the
Board recommended three different colors for one sign or
three different colored signs for the project. Mr. Jaeger
did not think it was ever specified. Commissioner Olenik
thought maybe the intent could be discussed.
Mrs. Wische asked if they could not ask the owner to help
them change the ruling about the three colors and then just

stay with one color. Commissioner Olenik replied that they
could ask, but he did not believe the City could hold the
owner or future tenants to that because they approved some-
thing other than that. It would be a matter of how well
they would want to comply with the recommendation. There
was discussion.
Mr. Lawrence added that he sits on a comparable Board, and
he stated that there are a lot of ways to have things
happen. He advised that the Board could legislate it or make
their wishes known to the owner. Mr. Lawrence thought if
the Board passed their wishes on to the owner, they would
fall on receptive ears.
Mayor Marchese told the Members he and Steve Rhodes went
around the building and talked about the yellow canopy and
the canopy over the walkways. The yellow was put there as
an eye catcher but because it looks so terrible, Mayor
Marchese said it was decided that they would put in some
Palm trees to break up the yellow, and they will change the
yellow to white.
Mayor Marchese stated that they talked about the signs
that are there now, and he suggested that they all be the
same. Mr. Rhodes said he would take that into consideration.
Mayor Marchese told the Members he will ask them officially
to do that tomorrow night. There were other comments.
Since the Board was not really specific, Mrs. Shuman wanted
to recommend to the Commission that they be specific. The
CAB voted for three colors for Sunshine Square but were not
specific in saying one sign, one color. Three colors can be
put into one sign. Commissioner Olenik felt that was a good
point. There was discussion.

Marchese at a workshop luncheon at the Chamber. She was
asked what the CAB does, and afterwards there were questions
and answers. One gentleman told Vice Chairwoman Sheridan
he thought the CAB was too strict on some of the Codes.
The Mayor agreed, and Vice Chairwoman Sheridan told the
Chamber that the Board is beginning to lean a little bit.
She felt the Board was doing a good job and said they like
the shopping centers to be in harmony, etc. Later, someone
told Vice Chairwoman Sheridan that the CAB is doing a good
job.
11. Project Name: Cross Creek Centre (Continued)
Mr. Steve Rhodes arrived at the meeting and Mrs. Wische
wanted him to come before the Board. Mr. Wische explained
that Mr. Rhodes came late and did not know what went on at
the meeting. If the Board wanted to hear from Mr. Rhodes,
Mr. Jaeger advised Mrs. Wische that it would be proper to
call him forward. Mr. Rhodes confirmed that he is the
developer of Cross Creek.
Mrs. Wische asked if Mr. Rhodes would present to his tenants
something different than what the Board had approved. The
CAB had approved of three colors (turquoise, blue and green)
for the signs, which has to stand, unless he would agree to
one color. As an alternative, Mr. Jaeger suggested two
colors.
Mr. Rhodes supposed they were speaking of the awnings on
the office in terms of white. Mrs. Wische referred to the
signs above the yellow and said one is dark blue, which they
approved, but they would like for the entire development to
be one color. Mr. Rhodes said the three colors help them in
some cases. There is not much room so a sign man can style
them. Mr. Rhodes stated that if they could have blue and
green or blue and turquoise, they wouldc$tick with that.
They already decided just to have one color in the east
building, and that will be just blue. In the west building,
Mr. Rhodes asked for two colors so they ~ill have the oppor-
tunity to break it up a little, or it will get too confusing.
It was decided it should be blue and turquoise.
Mrs. Wische said white on the cleaner's sign was an addi-
tional color, and she asked if that could be changed. Mr.
Rhodes said he would take a look at it, and he agreed that
white was not one of the approved colors and will have to
be changed. .
