Items for discussion:
0,2. Via Lugano - Melear PUD - Variance from the City of Boynton
Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 21, Article IV,
Section 1.D - signs allowed, to allow the height of a monument
sign to be increased from the maximum of 6' to 8' 1"
D.3. Via Lugano - Melear PUD - Variance from the City of Boynton
Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 - Section 4.J.1,
to allow for construction of 5' high decorative fence and column
sections within the 40' front yard setback at a setback of 23' 11"
D.5. Via Lugano - Melear PUD - Site plan approval to construct 13
apartment buildings containing 364 dwelling units, clubhouse,
office, recreation facilities, and associated parking for 767 spaces
on 12.58 acres of land
Commissioner Bradley expressed concern about the variance the Planning & Development
Board granted to allow the maximum height of the monument sign for Via Lugano to be
increased from 6' to 8' 1" when that Board is only permitted to grant a variance for 25% over the
amount allowed. He is fearful we are not following the protocol in our Land Development
Regulations.
Tambri Heyden, Planning & Zoning Director, explained that there was a great deal of discussion
during the board meeting about this project and these variances, and the developer made many
comments in response. Some of the units in this project are two stories, and others are three
stories high. The developer feels it is necessary to have higher scale appurtenances and
amenities to compliment this higher scale project. The developer also feels this higher scale
translates to a higher dollar value he can command for his apartments.
The Planning & Development Board members' comments somewhat mirror Commissioner
Bradley's remarks. Some of the board members did not feel the height of the sign would offer
more success in renting these units.

DECEMBER 16, 1997
The developer also req\jested a variance for the height of the fence along Congress Avenue,
There were comments made about the 20' height of the unmanned guardhouse that is 20'
setback into the project, Everything about this project is large; however, it fits together in a large
scale.
Staff included a reminder to the Board members in staff comments that only certain degrees of
size variance and height variances can be granted by the Board. That protection would limit this
sign height to 7' 6".
Rob Cottier of Cottier & Hearina. was present on behalf of the applicant. He advised that Don
Hearing had another meeting to attend. He was expected to arrive at any time. He requested
delaying approval of these items until Mr, Hearing arrived if a detailed discussion was required,
He explained that the applicant was aware of the fact that the Board could only act on 25% of
the allowable height. The applicant agreed to a height of 7' 6" during the Planning &
Development Board meeting. The applicant feels this height is necessary because there is a
utility easement along the front of the property that limits everything 20' from the right-of-way,
The fence sections will be approximately 22' from the right of way, and the signs (because they
are at a 45-degree angle) will be approximately 25' to 30' from the right-of-way. This project has
large buildings and the developer wishes to make a large statement. In addition, rental projects
"live and die" by their signage.
Mayor Taylor confirmed with Mr, Cottier that the applicant is willing to accept a sign height of 7'
6".
Commissioner Bradley feels the tastefulness of the sign is more important than the size of the
sign, Other projects along Congress Avenue are also within the same setback. range and their
signs are smaller, He feels this project will look too big.
Mr, Cottier displayed a drawing and pointed out that the signs step up on each side. The sign
will be of cast stone, and only one portion of it is higher than the height restriction. Scaling it
down will result in the letters being reduced to a size that cannot be read from the roadway.
The sign letters are within the Sign Code. .
Commissioner Bradley feels the size is larger than it should be and it will look out of place. He
will vote against this request.
Mayor Taylor requested that the record reflect that if the Commission approves this request, it
will be for a height of 7' 6" and not 8' 1" as indicated on the agenda.
Motion
Vice Mayor Titcomb moved to approve Items 0.2, 0.3, and 0.5. Commissioner Tillman
seconded the motion that carried 3-1. (Commissioner Bradley dissented.)

Item for discussion:
F. Authorization to advertise a ReCluest for Proposal (RFP) for Lead Hazard
Abatement for the City of Boynton Beach Police Department Pistol Range
located at 3501 North Congress Avenue.
Mayor Taylor confirmed with the City Manager that if the Commission approves this item, it is
only providing approval to go out for an RFP,
Mayor Taylor expressed concern about the amount of money involved and questioned whether
this is the only way to correct the situation. He asked for input on whether other organizations
use our pistol range, and whether or not they can contribute to help offset the cost of the
cleanup,
Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, advised that others use this facility. Mr.
Hawkins explained that if approval is granted to clean up this pistol range and we continue to
use it, we should consider charging for the use of the range. This pistol range is one of the few
modem indoor ranges in the area, and it is popular among federal and local officials. There is
no reason for us not to charge for its use in the future. That money could be used toward future
maintenance. Mr. Hawkins advised that Judith Ensor and Dr. Michael Landman are working
with the City on this project. The City will be investigating the use of lead-free bullets that can
be used in the future.
Marshall Gage, Chief of Police, reported that at least three or four other agencies are using the
pistol range on a regular basis. They have not been charged for that usage. We anticipate
modifying this in the future, He does not believe we will be successful in soliciting their help to
clean up the range. In the future, however, they will understand that there are ongoing
maintenance costs that will have to be shared by any agency wanting to share the facility, He
does not anticipate a problem in that regard.
We will also look at an aggressive and regular maintenance program that will preclude anything
like this happening again. This situation elevated because we did not maintain it from the
beginning. Some of the filtration systems that were in place were not optimal. In addition, we
will be looking at the use of bullets that are lead-free or do not have the high level of lead. Chief
Gage assured the Commissioners that the employees have been tested and they are fine and
healthy.
Judith Ensor advised that we can prevent this from happening again in the future by having a
maintenance contract with a certified lead professionals to monitor and make sure the range is
cleaned correctly. This maintenance will be done on a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis,
depending on the amount of activity at the facility,
Mayor Taylor realized that a maintenance contract would be necessary that would require
additional expense,
Ms, Ensor anticipates there will be a large number of companies bidding on this project.

V. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
A. Incentive Awards - Presentation(s) to be awarded based upon Committee
recommendations
City Manager Willis thanked the Commissioners for the opportunity to allow the employees to
report on what they have done in terms of running City government more like a business. This
year, we budgeted $15,000 to encourage the employees to accomplish greater customer
service efforts that would enHance levels of service of existing operations, and to run
government like a business, We concentrated on our major goals to reduce the cost of
operations to produce operational efficiencies and to encourage the employees to perform
studies in-house versus using consultants and other ways to produce annual operating savings.
There were 12 submittals; six of which have not yet been implemented. Those submittals will
be included in the next round of this program that will be budgeted next year. The total savings
resulting from these submittals will produce an annual operating budget reduction of $278,000.
City Manager Willis introduced Wilfred Hawkins and Hank Ackermann, two members of the
Committee that ranked the submittals.
Mr, Hawkins advised that this program was implemented as a way to look at many different
efficiency measures, and to allow the employees the opportunity to give management good
ideas on how they can improve their service delivery. Many of the employees responded
positively to the program,
In selecting the winners, the Committee looked at the submittals to see how they addressed
customer service improvements, cost efficiency and savings, improvement in operations,
increased levels of service, and cost avoidance.
Hank Ackermann, Neighborhood Project Specialist, said the Committee was made up of City
Manager Willis, Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, Mike Pawelczyk, Assistant City
Attorney, Bulent Kastarlak, Director of Development and himself. This is the first year of the
Incentive Award Program, This program is designed to recognize and reward programs that
have been developed and implemented as a team effort. Although all of the 12 submittals were
good ideas, some of them must still be implemented in the future. All of the submittals were
good team initiatives to better serve the citizens of Boynton Beach in a more efficient, proactive
way. The Committee decided to make the awards in three dltegories. The first category is
awarded to the Sanitation Division of the Public Works Department. The second category is
shared by the Planning & Zoning Division and the Warehouse. The third category is shared by
the Animal Control Division of Public Works, Meter Reading Division of Utilities, and the shopper
hopper bus service of Public Works, Certificates of recognition were developed for each of the
employees who were involved in a submittal.

Category #1
Sanitation - Larrv Roberts
Mr, Roberts expressed pride with the performance by Public Works and the Solid Waste
Division. These employees worked very hard to find areas of the operation to change. Ways
were discovered to reduce the workforce without having to layoff anyone while increasing
service levels. Mr, Roberts recognized Larry Quinn, Assistant Public Works Director who
brainstorms with him on a daily basis with regard to what the department should be doing.
There is currently a pilot program in progress with respect to garbage carts. After riding through
the neighborhoods, an amazing change has taken place. The employees deserve a great deal
of credit for their willingness and interest to work for the best interest of the City. There are
other pilot programs in progress, and recommendations will be made in the future after the
programs have been evaluated. Mr. Roberts introduced Troy Davis, Foreman for Residential
Garbage Collection Operations, Mark Lips, Foreman for Commercial Garbage and Recycling.
and Grady Johnson, Foreman for Trash and Vegetation Collection.
Category 2
PlanninQ & Zonina Division - Tambri Hevden
The Planning & Zoning Division was recognized for its submittal on the Greater Boynton Beach
Annexation Study, In August, annexation was identified as a possible source of new revenue.
Staff was given 60 days to study this issue and make a recommendation to the Commission
about whether to move forward, Because of the short time frame, staff took on the project in-
house. The clerical staff, Comprehensive Planners and graphic technician worked together to
assemble 10,000 parcels and enter them into a database, record the property owner and
assessed value of the property, and estimate the cost of providing service to these people. This
project could not have been done without the team effort, Ms. Heyden thanked the Committee
for recognizing the work involved in this project. Ms. Heyden introduced two Planning & Zoning
staff members, Doris Martilla and Dan DeCarlo, who were present.
Category 2
Warehouse Division - Diane Reese
The Warehouse does not service the public, but it is a service department. to other departments
within the City. All areas have been combined into one Warehouse. The Warehouse took over
the Utilities Department. This was a tremendous move considering the number of parts that had
to be moved from Utilities to the Warehouse. This move was done with in-house staff. This has
resulted in monitoring of the parts that are used on a regular basis and those parts that are not
being used regularly. We no longer have to keep the unused parts on hand. This has resulted
in a savings of $81,000. .
The Warehouse will be taking over the handling of parts for Vehicle Service. This will be
implemented this year and will result in another substantial savings in next year's budget. Ms,
Reese introduced Dominic DeMauro, Dan Nobile, Steve Huggins, and Tony Frazier. She
recognized each of them for the tremendous job they have done. She advised that when the
audit was done at the end of the year, there was less than 1 % loss as far as turnover after doing
more than $800,000 in Warehouse merchandising.

Meter ReadinQ Division - Bob Kenvon & Les Sarkkinen
Meter Reading was transferred to Utilities in May. Since August when the touch/read system
was implemented, the Meter Reading Division has installed more than 2,000 meters. They are
doing this with a reduced staff since there is a vacant position that will remain unfilled. In
addition, this staff suggested staggering their work hours in order for them to be able to do tum
ons and tum offs while they are in the field. Previously, these workers were at home on call.
They would get two hours for call back at an overtime rate of pay. Those costs added up
quickly. Staff is now working until at least 5:30 p.m. Although they are paid an overtime rate
after 5:30 p,m., it is not at a call back rate. This results in savings in excess of $8,000, and we
can respond more quickly and not interrupt the water plant operator on a regular basis. Mr.
Kenyon recognized Les Sarkkinen, Charlie Ballatta, and Vicky Bomac.
Category 3
Human Resources - Dale SUQerman & Arthur Lee
The Human Resources staff meets every Thursday moming to review the status of all job
vacancies. During that meeting, there are discussions about advertising those vacancies in the
local newspapers. Human Resources' annual budget for advertising exceeds $40,000 per year,
Staff realized we were spending too much money. By investigating, staff found that there are
different advertising requirements among the different newspapers. Even though we may have
wanted to advertise on Sunday only, we were forced to purchase an ad for another day. The
Sun-Sentinel advised us that if we set up a contractual arrangement on an annual basis for a
certain amount of space, they would give us a reduced rate and allow us to pick and choose the
dates we want to advertise. The department has saved over $5,000 with just one contract. He
recognized the team members: Art Lee, Carol Cheek, Brenda Gibbs, Dorothy Mack, Nina
Ulmer, and Marli Sherman,
Category 3
Shopper Hopper Bus Service - Larrv Roberts
During a recent workshop meeting, the Commission authorized staff to make changes to the
fixed route service, Mr. Roberts asked Joe Haigood to design a system that would cut down on
the cost while still serving the needs of the community, Since the shopper hopper service was
implemented, the buses are running almost at capacity, Mr, Roberts is very proud of this
operation.
Joe Haigood reported that since the change, costs have been cut in half and ridership has
improved to 80% of capacity. The workforce was cut through attrition. He thanked the
Commission and the City Manager for this opportunity to serve the City of Boynton Beach,
Mr. Roberts explained that Mr. Haigood goes into the neighborhoods where we have anticipated
usage. During the meetings with the homeowners' associations, he determines whether they
need the service. If the areas do not require service, they are eliminated from the program, We
have reduced miles traveled from over 2,000 to approximately 200 to 300 miles per week. This
division is very enthusiastic, safety-oriented and a conscientious group of people that works with
the people.

Animal Control - Larry Roberts
Animal Control is a small division with many efforts to offer the City. Dan Szychowski and Liz
Roehrich were unable to be present at this meeting. However, through their initiatives, low-cost
rabies clinics were set up, These clinics have saved the targeted population a great deal of
money, Fifty-three pets were vaccinated and 12 County dog tags were sold during the first
clinic. A profit of almost $150 was realized, On October 26th, we vaccinated 90 pets in two
hours and sold 34 County dog tags for a profit of $275.
Ms. Roehrich organized and conducted two fishing trips that generated approximately $600 in
contributions to the Animal Control Contribution Fund. We also participate in a program with
Publix whereby we take damaged packages of dog and cat food. That food is used to feed the
dogs and cats in our kennels. Any food that remains is given to other animal rescue facilities.
We estimate the annual savings of this program to be approximately $10,000,
In closing, Mr. Hawkins advised that the employees will receive the following awards in addition
to the certificates:
Category 1 - $175
Category 2 - $150
Category 3 - $125
Mayor Taylor was disappointed that some of the employees left before he had an opportunity to
express the appreciation and gratitude of the Commission. He realizes that savings of
$278,000 come from personal initiatives and pride. He was very pleased to hear the pride
expressed by the managers because it means the managers are listening to the workers. The
first priority of every manager should be to create an environment in which the worker can excel.
He commended the employees and the City Manager for creating this incentive program.
B. Update on status of Quick Victory Projects
Hank Ackermann, Neighborhood Project Specialist, reported that the agerida back-up material
contains a detailed summary of the status of 25 priorities that were identified as Quick Victory
Projects.
Strategy 1 - Citywide Commercial Revitalization and Redevelopment - To date, we
have accomplished two and one-half of the priorities. The remaining projects are underway and
not yet completed.
Strategy 2 - Neighborhood Revitalization - We have completed four priorities and the
one remaining priority, the HAMAR program, is in progress but not complete.
Strategy 3 - Public Safety/Crime Prevention - All priorities have been addressed.
However, there are parts of some of the priorities that are not complete.
Strategy 4 - Quality of Life/lmage and Character - All priorities are on target.
Strategy 5 - Education and Youth - All priorities are underway and we are on target.

Vice Mayor Titcomb requested that this information be publicized in the City newsletter.
Mayor Taylor appreciated the update, and pointed out that it is one thing to have a plan, but
another thing to act on it. He was pleased to see this program is being followed up. He
commended staff for an outstanding job,
C, Status Report on Citizen Action Center
City Manager Willis reported that the Citizen Action Center was implemented on October 15th
and we are very pleased with its operation. The purpose of this center was to provide a hot line
so that citizens can contact the City Manager's Office to discuss an unresolved issue or
concern. We act on these calls and try to get back to the citizen within 24 to 36 hours, Mr.
Hawkins distributed a summary of the concerns that have been reported to date.
Since the implementation of the program, we produced a brochure that is being distributed at all
City facilities, This is a comprehensive brochure that apprises the citizens of the program. This
information was also published in the citywide newsletter. Local newspapers wrote articles on
the Center and the Chamber of Commerce Horizons' publication also advertised the Center.
People are using the Center. To date, 25 complaints have been processed through the system,
We do not accept complaints that have not been addressed to the departments because we
want them to have an opportunity to solve the problem prior to them reaching the City
Manager's Office. The City Manager's Office wants the complaints that have not been
satisfactorily addressed or are very complicated and require a great deal of follow through.
The report, containing all pertinent information about the caller, is passed on to the department.
The department is required to return the report to the City Manager's Office telling us how the
problem was resolved. A letter is then generated and sent to the complainant. In addition, the
person who took the original complaint calls the person to make direct contact.
To ensure that everyone in the City understands the process, a policy has been developed and
will become part of the APM. We are continuing to refine the software to make sure we receive
accurate reports, In the future, we will be able to isolate the reports by Commission district and
produce graphic reports. A computer terminal will be installed in the Commission office to allow
the Commissioners to view the complaints as they are received.
City Manager Willis reported that we are working on filling the vacant position in this Center. As
soon as the person is fully trained, he/she will be sent to the public offices of the Commission
two days each week, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, to demonstrate the system
to the citizens. This will be advertised as an open house. This employee will also facilitate
walk-in, face-to-face citizen contact on behalf of the Commissioners.
Commissioner Tillman questioned the average turn-around time on these complaints. Mr.
Hawkins advised that most of them are being turned around prior to the 72-hour limit that has
been set. Most complaints are resolved within one and one-half or two days.
Commissioner Bradley noted that this Center is a contact point for citizens seeking a response
to a concern only after they have been in touch with the City department. Mr, Hawkins
12

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 16, 1997
explained that we want Qle citizens to contact the department first. If a problem is not resolved
to their satisfaction, they can contact the Citizen Action Center for final resolution of the
problem.
Commissioner Bradley felt this is misleading since it sounds like a citizen cannot contact the
Citizen Action Center until after speaking with the department head. Mr. Hawkins explained that
the goal is to have the departments respond to the citizens and resolve the problem.
Commissioner Bradley pointed out that if we are promoting this program to the citizens, we
need to advise them to contact the department head before contacting the Center,
City Manager Willis said there are ongoing conversations about this program. We are accepting
all calls for tracking purposes to see how many calls should have gone to the departments first.
Commissioner Bradley suggested that instead of playing music when a phone call is put on
hold, there should be announcements about openings on City advisory boards, upcoming
events, etc. Mr. Hawkins agreed to handle this request.
D. Update on United Way Campaign
Hank Ackermann, Neighborhood Project Specialist, served as the Campaign Coordinator for the
United Way effort with the assistance of previous coordinators and department representatives.
This year, there are 278 employees donating to the campaign. This is an increase of 5% which
means 35% of the employees are now participants in the campaign. Our contribution increased
by 19.5% over last year. Last year, we gave $21,595, This year, we will contribute $25,785,
This is an increase of $4,190. Mr. Ackermann thanked everyone who participated,
VI. PUBLIC AUDIENCE:
Bill Schmalz. 1727 SW 18th Street. reported that four years ago, he submitted a signed petition
to ask for more Police to handle speeders in his neighborhood. One week later, the Police were
on patrol for five days, The Police cannot continue to do that on a regular basis. There is a
need for a speed hump in his neighborhood. The petition he submitted was signed by 96% of
the people on SW 18th Street. The people want a speed hump installed in 'the community. He
reported that four days ago, a speeder ran into him and knocked him down. Later on, the driver
assaulted him. Mr, Schmalz attempted to submit a check for $2,400 made out to the City of
Boynton Beach for one year, interest free, to pay for a speed hump until money can be
budgeted by the City.
Mayor Taylor reported that this gentleman met with him and submitted the petition from the
residents of SW 18th Street. Mayor Taylor explained that the City installed speed humps in a
neighborhood south of Bethesda Hospital as a test program for a one-year period. That
program will be evaluated in order to determine whether or not to proceed with additional speed
humps in other parts of the City. Although a lot of people wanted the speed humps installed,
there were others who are opposed. The City has received requests from neighborhoods
throughout the City.
Mayor Taylor added this item to tonight's agenda for discussion among the Commissioners to
determine whether or not to review the policy before the end of the one-year test period. He
explained that in his response to Mr. Schmalz, he explained that if the City decided to move
13

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 16, 1997
forward with this program, it would have to be budgeted and prioritized so that it is done in an
orderly fashion.
Vice Mayor Titcomb reported that other than the first few initial complaints, it is apparent the
speed humps are working in the Chapel Hill neighborhood. He constantly receives telephone
calls requesting the installation of additional speed humps in that neighborhood, He is in favor
of the Commission looking at a citywide speed hump plan that would define the protocol,
parameters and funding mechanism of installing these speed humps where they are needed.
Commissioner Bradley agreed the Commission should review this program at a workshop
meeting. He advised that Larry Roberts is putting together information to report to the
Commission,
Commissioner Tillman feels this issue needs to be reviewed. However, he reminded the
Commissioners that there were a number of people that requested installation of these speed
humps; therefore, the Commissioners must remember those priorities.
If the Commission is going to pursue a plan, Mayor Taylor feels it is important to let the public
know about it so that everyone has a fair opportunity to submit a request. This issue will be
discussed in the future.
In response to Vice Mayor Titcomb, Mayor Taylor said we have made use of the robocop.
However, that device is only effective when it is in place. The premise behind the use of that
equipment is to ticket speeders after a few days of it being in place.
City Manager Willis reminded the Commissioners that we are awaiting a task report from the
consultants with respect to traffic calming devices. That report might include a recommendation
on a standard we can adopt.
Mr, Schmalz asked for a status report on Walgreen's, Mayor Taylor advised that the item was
deleted from tonight's agenda while the applicant tries to secure clarification from the court.
That applicant will come back at a future date, The original plan called for two separate
buildings. .
Mr. Schmalz is opposed to Walgreen's super stores. Of the 10 households bordering this
property, five are opposed, two are non-committal, and one was in favor of it. Mr. Schmalz does
not feel there is a need for another pharmacy at Golf Road and Congress Avenue.
James Gostel. 2240 North Seacrest Boulevard. said he has come before this Commission
before asking for intercession from the Commissioners on a matter that was resolved by the
condemnation and demolition of his house and property. He has had no results. Therefore, he
has set a deadline of January 1st for amicable resolution of this situation. If the situation is not
resolved, he will move onto the property, set up a tent, and post a sign seeking donations from
the public. He threatened litigation against the Police Department and Code Enforcement, and
expressed his hatred for this City.
Mayor Taylor explained that the City has tried to work with Mr, Gostel. He was sorry Mr, Gostel
was upset, and recommended that he consult legal counsel.

Development Board, and the Chamber of Commerce was held, there were discussions about
the Sign Code. A workshop will be scheduled for February to review the entire Sign Code, We
will accept input at that time.

Tambri Heyden, Planning & Zoning Director, advised that this is a good idea that was brought
up by the Planning & Development Board members to honor businesses in the community that
have done an exemplary job with respect to building design and landscaping. A sample
Resolution has been included in the packet of information. '
Vice Mayor Titcomb felt this program would provide good public relations and help set higher
standards by recognizing exemplary projects.
Consensus
There was a consensus of the Commission to work out the details and bring this back to the
Commission.
C. Authorization to negotiate assignment of Bait Shop concession lease to Tim and
Monica Barroso at Boat Club Park to include a two-year lease extension to

Motion
Commissioner Bradley moved approval. Vice Mayor Titcomh seconded the motion,
15

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 16, 1997
Vice Mayor Titcomb pointed out that there are a number of projects (Bait Shop, Oceanfront Park
concession and G.A.L.A.) that are bid out to private concp.rns, He has discussed with the City
Manager the opening up of the bidding process on any and all of these functions in the future,
Commissioner Tillman will support the two-year lease extension, but he is not comfortable with
the three-year option to renew.
City Manager Willis said the three functions Vice Mayor Titcomb mentioned have not been to a
public RFP process.
Charles Frederick, Recreation & Park. Director, explained that G.A.L.A. has been bid
consistently every other year. The Oceanfront Park concession has never been bid. It has
been assigned and sold through a series of owners back through the 1960s. When the City
bought the property, there was a bait shop on the premises. We arranged an original lease with
the owner because he had an existing business. He sold the business to the current lessee in
1993. He has been a good businessman and lessee since that time, and he now has someone
who is interested in buying the business, Without the approval of this request, he will not have
the opportunity to recoup his investment. If the Commission approves this request, it will be on
a negotiated basis. We would work. out a new fee arrangement with the new lessees. That will
increase the revenue the City would generate through the new lease since we have not had an
increase since 1993. The three-year option to renew is a mutual option, We are not compelled
to enact the option to renew, If we decide to renew, we can renegotiate the contract to increase
the rent. The option to renew is not automatic,
Mayor Taylor said the Commission wants this written so that we can choose not to renew
without cause.
Mr, Frederick advised that the Commissioners have the option of going to RFP now since the
lease only goes to 1998. It can be put out for bid when the current lease expires.
Mayor Taylor pointed out that considerable renovations will be made at this park. which should
expand the usage of the park and increase business at this shop. Mayor Taylor said he would
be willing to support this if the new lessee is willing to renegotiate the contract.
Mr. Frederick said the only way he would be willing to provide a two-year lease extension is to
renegotiate the current fee structure. He would not do it at the current fee structure, This
request is for authorization to sit down and negotiate with the current lessee and the assignee
and come back with a proposal. The Commission can review it at that time and make a
decision.
City Manager Willis said she would like to leave the flexibility open. A recommendation will be
made in the proposal relative to what to do with the three-year option.
D. Discussion on Speed Humps
This item was addressed earlier in the meeting under Public Audience.

XII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A, Proposed Personnel Rules & Regulations from Labor Management Committee
(TABLED FROM 12/02 CITY COMMISSION MEETING)
Mayor Taylor expressed concern with some of the language proposed and would like an
opportunity to meet with the City Attorney to receive his input. He requested that this item
remain on the table.
City Manager Willis recommended that this item be discussed at a workshop meeting since the
discussion would take more than 30 minutes.
In response to Vice Mayor Titcomb, Attorney Cherof explained that the Commission is not under
a date specific time line; however, there will be a problem if the referendum question is offered
that proposes the Personnel Policy Manual as a "fill the gap" type of document. If that policy is
not out in advance of the date the debate begins, there will be a problem.
City Manager Willis advised that there are five main points to address, and the "drop dead" date
is February. Attorney Cherof advised that in order to make the Supervisor of Elections deadline
for the ballot question, the deadline is February 3. First and second readings must take place in
January,
A workshop meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, December 30, 1997, at 6:30 p.m., in West
Wing Conference Room "C" to discuss the personnel policy.
City Manager Willis reported that the Labor Management Committee will make a presentation at
that time, and we will attempt to reach a consensus on the five main points.
XIII. OTHER:
A. Variances
Commissioner Bradley questioned whether the Planning & Development Board has the
authority to delete a staff comment that is a requirement of the Code or Land Development
Regulations.
Attorney Cherof advised that they have the power to reject a comment by staff, but if the
rejection operates to grant a variance, it is beyond their authority. This is something that should
come up for more detailed review at a Commission meeting. Staff should point out when those
types of conflicts arise that operate to grant variances.
Commissioner Bradley felt the Planning & Development Board had considered, and deleted
items that were Code requirements. He plans to attend a future Planning & Development Board
meeting to discuss this situation with the members. The issue of concern was the height of the
fountain at 18'. The Code requires the fountain height limit to be 9'. The board eliminated that
19

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION

DECEMBER 16, 1997
requirement. Commissiener Bradley said his point was not to talk about this particular project,
but rather the process,
Mayor Taylor pointed out that when the Planning & Development Board approved the Cooker
Restaurant site plan, they specified that the dumpster enclosure was to be covered so that the
people at the bank would not have to look down at the trash, The applicant agreed to this
condition, but they have not installed that cover because the Code does not require a cover.
Ms. Heyden explained that when staff researched what took place at the Planning &
Development Board meeting, they found that the applicant was willing to accommodate the
neighbor by putting a cover over the dumpster. Because of the design of the enclosure, the
walls would have to have been raised, and because the dumpster is in the setback, the walls
could not be higher than 6', The Planning & Development Board asked the applicant to work
with staff to move the enclosure back and have the walls high enough to allow a cover. The
board members did not tell them to put a cover on it because the applicant voluntarily offered to
do that. When the applicant submitted the permit, he changed his mind and did not put a cover
on the enclosure,
It was Mayor Taylor's opinion that it was the full intention of the Planning & Development Board
that there would be a cover.
Ms. Heyden explained that the issue of staff recommendations would be one of the topics for an
upcoming workshop meeting, We will discuss whether or not the City can compel an applicant
to comply with staff or Commission conditions that are not Code requirements.
Attorney Cherof advised that this issue has been debated for a long time. This issue will be
coming back to the Commission in the future.
Mayor Taylor feels that if the Commission approves a project based on certain conditions, that
approval should be null and void if the conditions are not met. The Commission is only
approving the project because there is an understanding that the applicant has agreed to the
conditions,
Attorney Cherof feels the Commission must make a determination as to whether or not to
approve items that are not required by Code, or to amend the Code to include a provision so
that it will not have to be dealt with in the future. Attorney Cherof is uncomfortable dealing with
conditions that have no basis in the Code.
Mayor Taylor said he would want to see something in the Code that states the applicant is
required to comply with any conditions the Commission approves.

TO: Chairman and Members, Planning and Development Board
THRU: Tambri J. Heyden AICP -p.d
Planning and Zoning Director
FROM: Daniel DeCarlo
Assistant Planner
DATE: October 22, 1997
SUBJECT: Cedar Ridge PUD (LUAR 97-001) - Request for Land Use AmendmentlRezoning
INTRODUCTION
Joseph F. Basile, agent for the Cedar Ridge Development Corporation I Inc. is requesting that
6.4 acres of vacant property located adjacent to the south and east of the Lake Worth Christian
School on High Ridge Road (see location map in Exhibit "A.) be rezoned and that the Future
Land Use Plan designation be amended. The current land use and zoning on the property are
Low Density Residential and PUD (Planned Unit Development), respectively. To prepare this .
property for eventual use by the school, the applicant is requesting that the property be
reclassified to Public & Private Govemmentalllnstitutional and rezoned to R-1AA, Single Family
Residential.
HISTORY
In February of 1995, a master plan modification was approved for the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD, located immediately south of the Lake Worth Christian School. The modification in part
included deletion of the subject property from the PUD (see approved master plan modification
in Attachment MB-). Approval of the master plan modification was subject to rezoning and
reclassifying the subject property consistent with the adjacent school property in preparation for
eventual acquisition and use by the school. The land use amendment and rezoning process
was first initiated in February 1995. However, due to the time taken to address conditions of
approval necessary prior to the adoption of ordinances, the process needed to be reinitiated
and readvertised.
This rezoninglland use amendment process has again been initiated as a condition of
approving the recent Cedar Ridge Estates plat (and of the 1994 master plan modification).
Specifically, the plat was approved conditioned upon the submittal of this request for land use
amendment and rezoning prior to issuance of a building permit for the current multifamily
project, and upon the adoption of the ordinances for land use amendment and rezoning prior to
the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. It should be noted that the conditions of the request
initiated in 1995 have now been addressed.
LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS .
Since this application meets the criteria necessary for processing as a small-scale amendment,
the application will be transmitted to the Rorida Department of Community Affairs (DCA)

following the adoption of ordinances. This request will be transmitted to the DCA as a small
scale comprehensive plan amendment, and will follow DCA's abbreviated review schedule.
The following analysis is provided pursuant to the city's code of ordinances (Part III-Land
Development Regulations. Chapter 2, Section 9) and Florida law with respect to the transmittal
and review of land use plan amendments. This analysis will focus primarily on consistency with
the city's comprehensive plan objectives, policies and text, and compatibility of the proposed
amendment with adjacent properties.
ADJACENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The land use and zoning in the surrounding area varies and is presented in the table below (as
the subject property is irregularly shaped, please refer to the location map for a thorough

ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO SEC. 9.C.7 OF CH. 2. LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
This section of the Land Development Regulations requires the evaluation of plan
amendment/rezoning requests against criteria related to the impacts which would result from
the approval of such requests. These criteria and an evaluation of the impacts that could result
from development of the property are as follows:
7.a. -Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable
Comprehensive Plan policies including, but not limited to, a prohibition against any
increase in dwelling unit density exceeding 50 in the hurricane evacuation zone without
written approval of the Palm Beach County Emergency Management Division and the
city's risk manager. The planning department shall also recommend limitations or
requirements that would have to be imposed on subsequent development of the
property, in order to comply with policies contained in the comprehensive plan..
Although the Future Land Use Plan is proposed to be amended, the request is generally
consistent with Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies, in part, due to compatibility of the
proposed land use classification with adjacent land uses. For example, Objective 1.17 below is
typically referenced when residential uses are adjacent to, and potentially impacted by property
proposed to be reclassified.
Obiective 1.17 - -Minimize nuisances, hazards, and other adverse impacts. . . to
residential environments by preventing or minimizing land use conflicts..
~
Cedar Ridge PUD/LWr-. Amendment and Rezoning - LUAR ~~'01
City Commission Agenl.od Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 3
In general, this proposed amendment represents the replacement of residentially classified
property (for single family homes) located immediately adjacent to the S.A.L. Railroad right-of-
way with property'-classified as Public & Private GovemmentaVlnstitutional. The single family
home portion of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD would become more protected from nuisances,
hazards and negative impacts associated with adjacency to the railroad and 1-95 rights-qf-way
through separation from these rights-of-way by the school's recreation uses. Although several
of these single family homes are on the periphery of the revised PUD boundary, and as a
consequence of the amendment, would be adjacent to active recreation facilities rather than
other single family homes, the overall effect is a net positive change given the increased
distance between single family lots and the railroad and 1-95 corridors. Most recreation uses
are generally compatible with residential uses, and any potential nuisances or hazards
anticipated from the active recreation facilities (e.g. noise, lighting, traffic, etc.) would be
addresseclJmitigated when the site plan for the School's recreation is processed.
Lastly, although there are no Comprehensive Plan policies that specifically promote the
provision of recreation facilities within private schools, this proposed expansion of the school's
recreation facilities is consistent with the overall goal of the Recreation & Open Space Element,
which is partiaUy shown below.
Goal #5 - "Provide adequate open space and recreational facilities and programs to
meet the needs of present and future residents.....
The following additional objectives, policies, and issues addressed below are either typically
referenced by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), or required by them to be
analyzed in the review of proposed amendments:
Obiective 1.2 - "Coordinate future land uses with soil conditions so that urban land uses
are prohibited in locations where it is not economical to remove or treat unsuitable
soils..."; and
Policv 1.2.1 - "... prohibit development of urban land uses where the removal or
treatment of unsuitable soils would be uneconomical, provide that unstable soils shall be
removed in all construction and land development sites where soils would affect the
performance of infrastructure, drainage.....
No extreme soil conditions are known to be characteristic of this property; however, this site is
small and physically typical of adjacent, developed properties. Furthermore, policies such as
those above will insure the use of proper development techniques reviewed during the site plan
process.
Obiective 4.4 - .The City shall, ... protect all remaining areas of substantial native upland
and wetland vegetation and eliminate undesirable exotic tree species..;
Policv 4.4.1 - ....the City shall require... a detailed flora and fauna survey on any_.B or C"
rated site...; and
Policv 1.11.14 - .... provide for open space preservation by requiring the preservation of
25% of aU.A", "B., and .C.: rated sites...".
3

City Commission Agel._d Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 4
These policies are not applicable as this property is not recognized by the Comprehensive Plan
as having any environmentally sensitive characteristics preserved through application of
Comprehensive Plan policies.
Obiective 1.11 - K.. . future land uses shall include provisions for the protection
of...archaeological resources and historic buildings...-.
The City's Comprehensive Plan requires that historical resource and archaeological sites be
preserved and protected. However, the subject property is undeveloped and there are no
archaeological amenities known to exist on this site.
7.b. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the established land use
pattern, or would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby districts, or
would constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property owner as
contrasted with the protection of the public welfare; and
7.e. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with current and future use
of adjacent and nearby properties, or would affect the property values of adjacent
properties. ·
The proposed reclassification, rezoning, and use of' the subject property would provide for the
expansion of an existing use {the Lake Worth Christian School} which is consistent with the
established land use pattern within the area, as well as with the current and future uses of
adjacent and nearby properties. Furthermore, in addition to being generally compatible with
adjacent residential properties, the proposed use may be more preferable over residential use
at this location, given the proximity of the property to the S.A.L. Railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way.
7.c. "Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning desirable.-
If there are any changed conditions or circumstances which have motivated this request {and
potentially make the reclassification and rezoning desirable or justified}, they would include the
modification to the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD master plan which included the extraction of the
subject property from the PUD, making it available to the Lake Worth Christian School.
7.d. UWhether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with utility systems,
roadways, and other public facilities. ·
Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 9J-11 also requires that the availability of public facilities
be analyzed in connection with a proposed amendment to a comprehensive plan, and that the
maximum potential demand upon publiC facilities be determined. The following facilities were
analyzed in order to ensure that capacity is available: .
Roads: The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has determined that the project meets the
requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. If
expansion of the School's recreational facilities is intended to accommodate additional students
in the future, the traffic generated by the additional students will need to be addressed by the
Lake Worth Christian School when the property is site planned. However, the property is
4-
Cedar Ridge PUD/LW\ Amendment and Rezoning - LUAR 9-~''I01
City Commission Agem..... Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 5
vested for the amount of traffic that would have been generated by the 11 single family lots.
This can be applied toward any future request for additional students.
Water/Sewer. The impact of the rezoning upon utilities was reviewed during the previous
attempt to reclassify and rezone this property. It has been determined that water and sewer
capacities are available to serve the minimal demands of the proposed recreation uses.
However, they recommend that a fire flow test be conducted when the recreation uses are site
planned in order to determine if the flow requirement for institutional uses, 1,500 gallons per
minute (gpm), can be met. In comparison, the fire flow requirement for residential uses is 500
gpm;
Solid Waste: The Solid Waste Authority also reviewed the impacts of this request when
previously considered and did not object to the proposed amendment as ample capacity exists
to serve the future solid waste collection and disposal needs generated on this site;
Drainage: The analysis of the proposed amendment by the Lake Worth Drainage District in
1995 indicated that the subject area is not within the service area of the Lake Worth Drainage
District; and
Recreation: Not applicable/No impact.
7. f. "Whether the property is physically and economically developable under the existing
zoning. ";
When the subject property was extracted from the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD, the property
became undevelopable as zoned, since there no longer existed a corresponding master plan
(planned unit development zoning requires a master plan for zoning approval). Furthermore,
the subject property became land-locked by loss of direct access to High Ridge Road as a
result of the separation from the PUD master plan, with the intent that access would be
provided through the School property, once assembled with it.
7.g. "Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to the
needs of the neighborhood and the City as a whole..
With respect to scale, the proposed amendment and use are consistent with the existing and
future use of adjacent properties. Furthermore, given the confined location of this property, its
proximity to the adjacent railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way, and since it represents only a minimal
11 unit decrease in planned housing units, the proposed amendment is arguably unrelated to
the function of the City as a whole and the projected need for available housing units (since the
amendment would reduce the land available for residential use).
7.h. "Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for the proposed use, in
districts where such use is already allowed."
There are several zoning districts that allow schools as a permitted use. However, this request
is for expansion of an adjacent school and not location of a new school site. Therefore,
selection of vacant property adjacent to the school that is suitable for expansion of the school
facilities is the relevant issue. Schools are ideally located and are encouraged in residential
~

areas. The suggestion that a new school location is necessary in order for the school to
expand is contrary to the objective of locating schools within residential areas.

-d:- -ftlel n:nd.l.-htfris, agent for the k.~I(e; W\.lIl1rGhrlsti,," Gch",ul Sooicty, Inc. is requesting
that 6.4 acres of vacant property located adjacent to the south and east of the Lake
Worth Christian school on High Ridge Road (see location map in Attachment "A") be
rezoned and that the Future Land Use Plan designation be amended. The current land
use and zoning on the property is Low Density Residential and PUD (Planned Unit
Development), respectively. To prepare this property for use by the school, the
applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned to R-1AA, Single Family
Residential, and the Future Land Use Map designation be changed to Public & Private
Govern menta III nstitutional,
HISTORY \. q 0."5
In February ofJb~ar, a master plan modification was approved for the Cedar Ridge
Estates PUD, located immediately south of the Lake Worth Christian School. Part of the
master plan modification request included deletion of the subject property from the PUD
(see approved master plan modification in Attachment "B"), Approval of the master plan
modification was subject to rezoning of the subject property from PUD to an appropriate -4\-t
zoning district for assembling the property with the school property to the n~~~ _ ~~.- '\ 0,
expansion of the school's facilities (see conceptual master plan for school exp~-
Attachment "C"), The subject property was acquired at the beginning of .the year by
Condor Investments of Palm Beach County, Inc., owner of the school property and
developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD and leased to Lake Worth Christian School
Society, Inc, This request will rezone and reclassify the subject property consistent with
the remainder of the school property,
LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENT PROCESS
Since this application meets the criteria necessary for processing as a small-scale
amendment, the application will be transmitted to the Florida Department of Community
Lake Worth Christian Scnool - Luar 95-002
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97-
Page 3
Affairs (DCA) following the adoption of ordinances. This request will be transmitted to
the DCA as an adopted Comprehensive Plan amendment, and will follow DCA's
abbreviated review schedule. However, the amendment will not be official until
approximately 15 days following finding of compliance by the DCA. The entire review
process (by DCA) will require approximately five (5) months to complete.
The following analysis is provided pursuant to the City's Code of Ordinances (Part 111-
Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section 9) and Florida law with respect to
the transmittal and review of small-scale land use plan amendments, This analysis will
focus primarily on consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan objectives, policies
and text, and compatibility of the proposed amendment with adjacent properties.
ADJACENT LAND USE AND ZONING
The land use and zoning in the surrounding area varies and is presented in the table

a thorough understanding of the location of the following identified uses):

ANALYSIS PURSUANT TO SEC. 9,C.7 OF CH. 2. LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS
This section of the Land Development Regulations requires the evaluation of plan
amendment/rezoning requests against criteria related to the impacts which would result
from the approval of such requests. These criteria and an evaluation of the impacts
which could result from development of the property are as follows:
7.a. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable
Comprehensive Plan policies,..".
Although the Future Land Use Plan is proposed to be amended, the request is generally
consistent with Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies, in part, due to compatibility
of the proposed land use classification with adjacent land uses. For example, Objective
1.17 below is typically referenced when residential uses are adjacent to, and potentially
impacted by property proposed to be reclassified,
Obiective 1,17 - "Minimize nuisances, hazards, and other adverse impacts. . .to
residential environments by preventing or minimizing land use conflicts."
Lake Worth Christian Scnool - Luar 95-002
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97-
Page 4
In general, this proposed amendment represents the replacement of residentially
classified property (for single family homes) located immediately adjacent to the S.A.L.
Railroad right-of-way with property classified as Public & Private
Governmentalllnstitutional. The single family home portion of the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD would become more protected from nuisances, hazards and negative impacts
associated with adjacency to the railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way by separation from
these rights-of-way resulting from the school's recreation uses. Although several of
these single family homes are on the periphery of revised PUD boundary, and as a
consequence of the amendment, would not be adjacent to active recreation facilities
rather than other single family homes, the overall effect is a net positive change given
the increased distance between single family lots and the railroad and 1-95 corridors,
Most recreation uses are generally compatible with residential uses, and any potential
nuisances or hazards anticipated from the active recreation facilities (e.g. noise, lighting,
traffic, etc.) would be addressed/mitigated during the site plan review process,
Lastly, although there are no Comprehensive Plan policies that specifically promote the
provision of recreation facilities within private schools, this proposed expansion of the
school's recreation facilities is consistent with the overall goal of the Recreation & Open
Space Element, which is partially shown below,
Goal #5 - "Provide adequate open space and recreational facilities and programs
to meet the needs of present and future residents...."
The following additional objectives, policies, and issues addressed below are either
typically referenced by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), or required
by them to be analyzed in the review of proposed amendments:
Obiective 1,2 - "Coordinate future land uses with soil conditions so that urban
land uses are prohibited in locations where it is not economical to remove or
treat unsuitable soils.., "; and
Policv 1,2.1 - ",., prohibit development of urban land uses where the removal or
treatment of unsuitable soils would be uneconomical, provide that unstable soils
shall be removed in all construction and land development sites where soils
would affect the performance of infrastructure, drainage..,".
No extreme soil conditions are known to be characteristic of this property; however, this
site is small and physically typical of adjacent, developed properties. Furthermore,
policies such as those above will insure the use of proper development techniques
reviewed during the site plan process.
Obiective 4.4 - "The City shall I ,., protect all remaining areas of substantial native
upland and wetland vegetation and eliminate undesirable exotic tree species,";
Policv 4.4,1 - "", the City shall require." a detailed flora and fauna survey on any
"B or C" rated site...; and
Lake Worth Christian Scnool - Luar 95-002
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97-
Page 5
Policv 1.11.14 - ".., provide for open space preservation by requiring the
preservation of 25% of all "A", "B", and "C": rated sites...".
These policies are not applicable as this property is not recognized by the
Comprehensive Plan as having any environmentally sensitive characteristics preserved
through application of Comprehensive Plan policies.
Obiective 1.11 - ",.. future land uses shall include provisions for the protection
of." archaeological resources and historic buildings,..".
The City's Comprehensive Plan requires that historical resources and archaeological
sites be preserved and protected. However, the subject property is undeveloped and
there are no archaeological amenities known to exist on this site.
7.b. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be contrary to the established land
use pattern, or would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent and nearby
districts, or would constitute a grant of special privilege to an individual property
owner as contrasted with the protection of the public welfare; and
7,e. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with current and
future use of adjacent and nearby properties, or would affect the property values
of adjacent properties."
The proposed reclassification, rezoning, and use of the subject property would provide
for the expansion of an existing use (the Lake Worth Christian School) which is
consistent with the established land use pattern within the area, as well as with the
current and future uses of adjacent and nearby properties, Furthermore, in addition to
being generally compatible with adjacent residential properties, the proposed use may
be more preferable over residential use at this location, given the proximity of the
property to the S,A.L. Railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way.
7.c, "Whether changed or changing conditions make the proposed rezoning
desirable."
If there are any changed conditions or circumstances which have motivated this request
(and potentially make the reclassification and rezoning desirable or justified), they would
include the modification to the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD master plan which included the
extraction of the subject property from the PUD, making it available to the Lake Worth
Christian School.
7.d, "Whether the proposed rezoning would be compatible with utility systems,
roadways, and other public facilities,"
Florida Administrative Code, Chapter 9J-11 also requires that the availability of public
facilities be analyzed in connection with a proposed amendment to a comprehensive
plan, and that the maximum potential demand upon public facilities be determined. The
following facilities were analyzed in order to ensure that capacity is available:
Lake Worth Christian School - Luar 95-002
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97-
Page 6
Roads: Although Palm Beach County has not completed its review of the traffic
analysis, it appears that the traffic impact analysis reviewed not only use of the subject
property, but traffic impact anticipated from the School's proposed master plan (as a
site-specific rezoning), Since the study references 382 additional trips per day to be
generated by a 350 student expansion of an elementary and middle school, it is unclear
whether the additional outdoor recreation facilities, additional school buildings and
auditorium were evaluated, The traffic analysis concluded that traffic to be generated
from the master plan would not exceed established levels of service of impacted road
segments, and would comply with requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance. Therefore, traffic concurrency certification will be
limited to an additional 382 trips per day and is subject to any comments from Palm
Beach County,
Water/Sewer: The City's Utility Department reviewed the proposed amendment and
indicated that water and sewer capacities are available to serve the minimal demands of
the proposed recreation uses, However, they recommend that a fire flow test be
conducted in order to determine if the flow requirement for institutional uses, 1,500
gallons per minute (gpm), can be met. In comparison, the fire flow requirement for
residential uses is 500 gpm;
Solid Waste: The Solid Waste Authority reviewed this request and does not object to
the proposed amendment as ample capacity exists to serve the future solid waste
collection and disposal needs generated on this site;
Drainage: The analysis of the proposed amendment by the Lake Worth Drainage
District indicated that the subject area is not within the service area of the Lake Worth
Drainage District; and
Recreation: Not applicable/No impact.
7,f. "Whether the property is physically and economically developable under the
existing zoning.";
When the subject property was extracted from the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD, the
property became undevelopable as zoned, since there no longer existed a
corresponding master plan (planned unit development zoning requires a master plan for
zoning approval), Furthermore, the subject property became land-locked by loss of
direct access to High Ridge Road as a result of the separation from the PUD master
plan, with the intent that access would be provided through the School property, once
assembled with it.
7.g, "Whether the proposed rezoning is of a scale which is reasonably related to
the needs of the neighborhood and the City as a whole."
With respect to scale, the proposed amendment and use are consistent with the existing
and future use of adjacent properties. Furthermore, given the confined location of this
property, its proximity to the adjacent railroad and 1-95 rights-of-way, and since it
Lake Worth Christian School - Luar 95-002
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97-
Page 7
represents only a minimal 11 unit decrease in planned housing units, the proposed
amendment is arguably unrelated to the function of the City as a whole and the
projected need for available housing units (since the amendment would reduce the land
available for residential use).
7,h. "Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the City for the proposed
use, in districts where such use is already allowed."
There are several zoning districts that allow schools as a permitted use. However, this
request is for expansion of an adjacent school and not location of a new school site,
Therefore, selection of vacant property adjacent to the school that is suitable for
expansion of the school facilities is the relevant issue, Schools are ideally located and
are encouraged in residential areas. The suggestion that a new school location is
necessary in order for the school to expand is contrary to the objective of locating
schools within residential areas.
REVIEW OF "CONCEP UAL MASTER PLAN"
The Lake Worth Christian ,chool Society, Inc, plans for expansion include addition of an
elementary school, an aud~orium, and renovation and addition of recreation facilities,
The acquisition of the subje~t property has advanced th~r plans, which are now in a
conceptual master plan form.\ The Society included a opy of this conceptual master
plan with the subject application....for courtesy review b~ staff to identify and address any
problems early in the school's expansion process and to better analyze with this
rezoning any potential impacts on the adjacen, planned residential development.
The plan was also used to evaluate raffle impacts ssociated with the request.
The conceptual master plan was revie ed by t Technical Review Committee and Joe
Basile, the developer of the Cedar Ridg Esta sPUD. The more significant comments
relative to emergency service/access, ci ul lon, location of utilities, and impact on the
planned residential community are ite 'ed below, Complete comments will be
generated at time of formal site plan submi I:
1) The southern ball field is orie ed w those areas of the ball field which tend
to generate the most noise I ligh and acti ity immediately adjacent to the planned
single family homes of the C t1ar Ridge states PUD (it should be noted that
although staff would sugges that the ball field be reoriented to maximize the
distances between the plan d homes and t e active areas of the ball fields, Mr.
Basile has indicated that t e buyers of the adjacent lots intentionally selected
those locations for their proximity to the recreation areas of the school, and
redesign of the recreation facilities may cons quently place less desirable
elements adjacent to t residential developm nt, and redirect elements
adjacent to the residenti development, and redirec ball field lighting toward the
planned single family mes):
\
2) The swimming 001 should be relocated in close proximity to the existing or
planned road stem in order to facilitate efficient emergency access;
Lake Worth Christian School - Luar 95-002
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97-
Page 8
\
3) Properly engineered design techniques which are both aesthetic and safe for
the adjacent residents will be necessary between the south ball field and
residential community to address the significantly higher elevation of this
portion of the planned unit development;
4) If the ball fields are to be fenced in, utility lines should be placed outside of
the fenced areas to maximize accessibility to utility lines for maintenance
needs, and to avoid unnecessary damage to ball fields when the lines must
be accessed;
5) If sanitary sewer lines remain withir}^fenced areas, consideration should be
given to the use of a more durable material than clay;
6) Consideration shall be given to redesign of the area, or reorientation of the
future elementary school in order to avoid the necessity for children to cross
the parking area in accessing other recreation facilities;
7) The site plan is deficient of many details or criteria as required in the Land
Development Regulations, Chapter 4, Site Plan Review. A few of the
deficiencies indicated by staff il'lclude utility easement locations, building
elevations, indication of compliance with Handicap Code and fire separation
requirements, and the lack of p~rking space counts and identification of
parking facilities intended to serv~ all recreation elements, and particularly
the pool and southern ~all field; \
;' \
I
8) That portion of the r adway that wa dedicated to the public with recordation
of the 1983 plat 0 Cedar Ridge Es ates, but now planned for school use
shall be abando d; and the unity f title process completed in order to
properly assem e the existing scho I property with the subject property.
These applicati ns and documents sh I be submitted prior to adoption of the
rezoning ordi nee;
9) The agree ents to be established bet een the developer of Cedar Ridge
Estates a d the Lake Worth Christian S hool, which address drainage (the
use by e School of the retention area ithin the PUD and determination
that dr inage capacity to serve the tire residential project will be
maintqined despite use of the retention are by the School) and maintenance
acce~ (for the School through Cedar Ridg Estates) shall be finalized for
revieW by staff and the City Attorney prior to adoption of the rezoning
d./
or mance;
10) It is recommended that the subject property be replatted to vacate the
blocks, lots, easements and public rights-of-way that were established by the
1983 Cedar Ridge Estates plat. At minimum, the abandonment of the public
right-of-way referenced in comment 8 above shall be completed.

11) At the time of site plan review, tryHic shall be re-evaluated to determine
whether additional traffic, above ~ 3~ daily trips per day certified with this
land use amendment and rezoning, will generated based on the specifics
of the site plan submittal.

RECOMMENDATION: Please place the Cedar Ridge PUD (LUAR 97-001) on the November 4,1997 City Commission
agenda under ????????public hearing. This request for land use amendment and rezoning was submitted by Joseph F. Basile,
agent for Cedar Ridge Development Corporation, pursuant to a condition on the approval of the Cedar Ridge Estates plat.
Mr. Basil is requesting that 6.4 acres of vacant property located at the northeast corner of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD be
reclassified from Low Density Residential to Public & Private Governmental/Institutional, and rezoned from Planned Unit
Development (PUD) to R-IAA, Single Family Residential. In February of 1995, this property was extracted from the Cedar
Ridge Estates PUD master in preparation for ultimate ownership and use by the adjacent Lake Worth Christain School for
recreation purposes. This land use amendment and rezoning petition was originally initiated in 1995 but discontinued by the
applicant due to the need to readvertise (the original petition was filed by representatives ofthe Lake Worth Christian
School). This petition, which was forwarded by the Planning & Development Board with a unanimous recommendation for
approval, will rezone and reclassify the subject property consistent with the remainder of the school property. For further
information on this request and analysis, please see the accompanying staffreport (Planning and Zoning Memorandum #97-
504).

Memo No. 95-268
June 9, 1995
-5-
amendment is arguably unrelated to the function of the city as a whole
and the projected need for available housing units (since the
amendment would reduce the land available for residential use).
7.h. Whether there are adequate sites elsewhere in the city for
the proposed use, in districts where such use is already allowed.
There are several zoning districts that allow schools as a permitted
use. However, this request is for expansion of an adjacent school and
not location of a new school site. Therefore, selection of vacant
property adjacent to the school that is suitable for expansion of the
school facilities is the relevant issue. Schools are ideally located
and are encouraged in residential areas. The suggestion that a new
school location is necessary in order for the school to expand is
contrary to the objective of locating schools within residential
areas.
REVIEW OF "CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN"
The Lake Worth Christian School Society, Inc. plans for expansion
include addition of an elementary school, an auditorium, and
renovation and addition of recreation facilities. The acquisition of
the subject property has advanced their plans, which are now in a
conceptual master plan form. The society included a copy of this
conceptual master plan with the subject application for courtesy
review by staff to identify and address any problems early in the
school's expansion process and to better analyze with this rezoning
any potential impacts upon the adjacent, planned residential
development. The plan was also used to evaluate traffic impacts
associated with the request.
The conceptual master plan was reviewed by the Technical Review
Committee and Joe Basil, the developer of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUO.
The more significant comments relative to emergency service/access,
circulation, location of utilities, and impact on the planned
residential community are itemized below. Complete comments will be
generated at time of formal site plan submittal:
1) The southern ball field is oriented with those areas of the
ball field which tend to generate the most noise, light and
activity immediately adjacent to the planned single family homes
of the Cedar Ridge Estates PUD (it should be noted that although
staff would suggest that the ball field be reoriented to maximize
the distances between the planned homes and the active areas of
the ball fields, Mr. Basil has indicated that the buyers of the
adjacent lots intentionally selected those locations for their
proximity to the recreation areas of the school, and redesign of
the recreation facilities may consequently place less desirable
elements adjacent to the residential development, and redirect
ball field lighting toward the planned single family homes);
2) The swimming pool should be relocated in close proximity to
the existing or planned road system in order to facilitate
efficient emergency access;
3) Properly engineered design techniques which are both
aesthetic and safe fc~ the adjacent ras1nAntA will bA necessary
between the south ball field and residential community to address
the significantly higher elevation of this portion of the planned
unit development;
4) If the ball fields are to be fenced in,utility lines should
be placed outside of the fenced areas to maximize accessibility
to utility lines for maintenance needs, and to avoid unnecessary
damage to ball fields when the lines must be accessed;
5) If sanitary sewer lines remain within fenced areas,
consideration should be given to the use of a mor_e durable
material than clay;
