Considering that the general notes identify, and the landscape plan shows other structures (such as site walls and trellises to be located within the common area), remove the words, "trellis, playground equipment and irrigation pump houses" from general note number 6 and add a new note stating, "other structures shall comply with the regulations specified in Chapter 2, Zoning, Section 4.J of the city's Land Development Regulations" . 9. Add a general note to the master plan indicating that there shall be no building or any kind of construction placed within an easement without prior and proper written consent of aU easement beneficiaries including aU applicable city approvals as required for such encroachment. 10. To clarify the minimum lot frontage dimension, reword the minimum lot size data as follows: ".3000 square feet (SO' X 100', typical). Fifty foot minimum lot frontage'measured at the 20 foot building setback line". 11. To ensure compliance with the maximum floor area ratio for the proposed 4.0 Land Use Intensity (L.U.I.), add a category to the site area breakdown data that indicates the maximum floor area shall not exceed 2,081 square feet. If the Commission rejects this comment, the applicant shall provide with each building permit appltcation. a floor area breakdown that provides computations indicating maximum floor area allowed, maximum floor area existing prior to the subject permit request, maxlDlWD floor area proposed with the subject permit including identifying permit number and maximum floor area remainin.; following permit approval.

Note the maximum building envelope shown and identified on the plans exceeds this maximum floor area ratio for the proposed 4.0 land use intensity. 12. To clarify the building setbacks add the words, "aU types of hard roof structures" after the word "setbacks" found in the ftrSt setback data chart on the master plan.

Resolutions: None D. Other: 1 . ConsiPeration of waiving the confidentiality of the appraisals the City has obtained on the two parcels of land associated with the Pond "B" project Attorney Cherof advised that under Stat~. law, the City is permitted to obtain appraisals and keep them confidential during negotiations to acquire a property. It is not always appropriate to keep the documents confidential. The City has made two offers to acquire property designated as Pond "8" in the downtown area. There is a credibility gap between the offer made by the City and what the property owners expect regarding the value of the land. Professional certified State appraisers perform our appraisals. Attorney Cherof believes it would expedite our negotiations if we provide them with -.the information re{l3rding the true value. Attorney Cherof requested that the City Commission waive the statutory right to keep the documents exempt. Mayor Taylor supported Attorney Cherofs request. Commissioner Titcomb supports the request. but questioned whether there are any perceived negatives to releasing this information. Attorney Cherof responded negatively. He explained that while the City gathers its strategy for negotiating, it is important to keep the information confidential. However, at this point. there is no tactical or legal benefit. 23 ----~"_.._~~,~-------~._--_..,- \ R ~ ""' 1:, " -. O~ Is' ~; MINUTES OF 1 HE REGULAR CITY COMMISSION ME...

Schedule of workshop mt!etings with Commission and planning consultants City Manager Willis requested monthly workshops with the Commission and the planning consultants to be scheduled for mid-February, mid-March, mid-April, and mid-May. This will take the final schedule through mid-May rather than May 1 st. 6 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 Commissioner Bradley questioned whether this was an attempt to change the scope of work or the work plan. City Manager Willis explained that a number of issues have been addressed such as the traffic count on Gateway Boulevard. It is important to get that information in order to determine whether to widen the road to three or five lanes. The scope of work will need to be expanded to handle that task. Staff will be meeting with the consultants next week to discuss a number of items that might affect the scope of work. This information will come back to the Commission on January 20th. Although there might be a slight modification, we believe we will have a better finished product. B. Status of North Congress Avenue Medians Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to the City Manager, advised that the City has received partial grant funding for four medians on Congress Avenue. The bid opening was on December 4th. The Committee will be recommending Sunnyland Irrigation to do the work. The contract bid amount is approximately $100,000. The Palm Beach County grant reimbursement amount is $40,000. The remaining $60J692 will come from the Capital Improvement Budget if the Commission approves this contract. This item is scheduled for review and consideration at the next City Commission meeting. Commissioner Jaskiewicz questioned whether there is any intention to remove the existing oak trees. John Wildner, Acting Director of Recreation & Park Department, said the existing trees will remain in place, and additional landscaping will be planted. Commissioner Bradley confirmed with Mr. Hawkins that this is the ongoing median project that has been in place for a number of years. Commissioner Bradley was also of the opinion that this was a SO/50 matching program for Beautiful Palm Beaches. Mr. Wildner reported that we anticipated a bid of $80,000. The actual bid came in higher. This project can be pared back if that is the desire of the Commission. Commissioner Jaskiewicz expressed concern about the middle medians that have absolutely no landscaping at this time. Mr. Wildner explained that we would continue with the same schedule doing four or five medians per year unless additional funding is provided. At present, the $40,000 with the match from Palm Beach County allows us to do four or five medians each year. In response to Commissioner Jaskiewicz, Mr. Wildner explained that developers participate in funding the landscaping of these medians. At present, a developer is adding landscaping to one of the middle medians as a requirement of his development. Mr. Wildner advised that all of the median landscaping that is part of this project should be completed in approximately two years. 7 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 C. Speed Humps Mr. Hawkins reminded the Commissioners that the speed humps on SW 4th, SW 5th, and SW 6th Streets were installed as part of a pilot project for a period of one year. Staff has been watching this situation closely, and found that the general public supports these humps as a way of solving speeding problems on local streets. However, staff feels speed humps may not be the answer for every neighborhood. The City wants to develop specific criteria that can be applied with respect to where speed humps or other traffic calming devices should be installed. Larry Roberts, Public Works Director, said the speed humps have been a popular item, and they have helped to control some of the traffic speeds in the neighborhoods where they are installed. The City has not received many complaints about the speed humps, but has received a number of complaints about the advance warning signs that have been installed, and the color of the humps. There is very little criter:ia being used by the cities and counties installing these humps. Therefore, it is necessary to explore this issue and gather more information. There are additional traffic calming devices available that include rerouting traffic through the streets, rumble strips and teardrop islands. Mr. Hawkins advised that the Visions 20/20 consultant is looking at this issue and will help us develop criteria for traffic calming. D. Gateway Boulevard Larry Roberts, Public Works Director, distributed a schedule for this project. He advised that we are on target with respect to the design of this project. We should be able to complete the design and accept bids before the end of 1998. It is anticipated that construction will begin in the early part of 1999 with completion by the end of 1999. At a kick-off meeting with the consultant on December 16th, representatives of the Visions 20/20 planning group were present. Additional funding will be made available to us. In addition, it might be possible to include a drainage outfall through funding from the Lake Worth Lagoon Planning Commission. Mayor Taylor expressed disapPointment because he believed this project would be completed in 1998, not 1999. He does not understand why it takes so long to design this project. He pointed out that until tonight, he never heard any discussion about making Gateway Boulevard a five-lane road. This road was supposed to be a three-lane road because there was not enough room to widen it further without having to acquire property. He is very disappointed that this project is moving so slowly. Mr. Roberts explained that we are not totally satisfied that the traffic counts this project is being designed around have taken into consideration the intense possibilities of development in Quantum Park and the Visions 20/20 projects and programs. We want to be certain the design of the road will last through the year 2015. Commissioner Tillman suggested that these items be designed and phased in at a later date. Mr. Roberts advised that we anticipate building a three-lane road that can be expanded in the future. 8 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 Commissioner Jaskiewicz pointed out that during meetings to discuss traffic calming, it was stressed that one deterrent is fewer lanes. Mayor Taylor feels it might be necessary to find companies that have more time and people to get this job done quicker. Commissioner Bradley explained that the County has not projected more than a level B capacity on this roadway. Three lanes would be sufficient to handle that level. However, because this County is growing so rapidly, this road could become a major arterial. Commissioner Bradley feels it is important to study the numbers and have the capacity to make the roadway five lanes if necessary. VI. PUBLIC AUDIENCE: Carel Fisher, 16441 Temple Boulevard, Loxahatchee, is the former Deputy Public Works Director. He complained that when he came to the City on Friday to pick up his final paycheck and the pay-out for accrued sick and vacation time, Mr. Larry Roberts, Public Works DirectorJ refused to release his checks because a label maker was missing from the Public Works Department. Mr. Roberts advised that he would release the checks if Mr. Fisher agreed to purchase a replacement label maker. Mr. Fisher requested a meeting with the City Manager. When she was not availableJ he met with Dale Sugerman who agreed that at least one of the checks should be released until the matter was resolved. One check still remains with the City. City Manager Willis asked Mr. Fisher to contact her office to schedule a meeting later in the week. Sunny Garcia, Vice President of the Roiling Green Homeowners' Association, thanked the Commission for the plants that were installed on 13th Street. He requested that the City consider resealing some of the streets in his neighborhood next year. Mayor Taylor advised that every street within the City is on a schedule for repaving. He suggested that Mr. Garcia check the schedule. If there is a problem with potholes, that information should be brought to the attention of the City. VII. PUBLIC HEARING: ./ A. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Foster Property (ANNX 97-001 and LUAE 97-003) Julian Bryan and Associates Roland E. and Leila M. Foster . North side of Miner Road, one-half mile west of Congress Avenue Request for annexationJ the amendment of the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan from MR-5 in Palm Beach County to Low Density Residential, and to rezone the property from Agricultural Residential (AR) in Palm Beach Courty to Planned Unit Development with a land use intensity of 4.0 (PUD with LUI=4.0) to allow for 98 zero lot line, single-family homes Attorney Cherof administered the oath to all that would testify on this application. 9 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 Mayor Taylor announced that the Planning & Development Board unanimously approved this item. Martin Perry represented the applicant. He thanked staff for their cooperation during this process and advised that the applicant agrees with staffs comments. The plan is consistent and compatible with the neighborhood. This application involves 98 zero-lot line lots. The staff report discusses lot size. The average size of the lots is 6JOOO square feet. However, the applicant is unable to achieve a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet. All of the lots are at least 5,000 square feet. One-third of the lots are in excess of 6,000 square feet. The applicant is unable to create a housing type or style that is consistent with the goals of the City for more upscale and larger homes. The applicant has agreed to the additional condition imposed by the Planning & Development Board. The only unresolved item is the size of the street. This subdivision will have one street. The applicant is requesting that this private'street be permitted at 40' rather than 50'. Everything can fit within the 40' with the exception of one sidewalk that will be an easement outside the 40'. Julian Bryan. Plannlna Consultant and Aaent. 756 St. Albans Drive. Boca Raton. advised that there is a mobile home park in unincorporated Palm Beach County to the west, and the Meadows Subdivision on the east. Mr. Bryan said he was able to place a 20' landscape buffer around the entire community that is separate and independent from the lots. In addition, there will be two lakes on the east that will provide additional buffering. One additional staff comment requested a secondary emergency access to the community. That access was initially placed in the northwest comer. After consideration, staff felt it would be more appropriate to create the emergency access at the northeast comer to allow a pedestrian access to Meadows Boulevard. This will be incorporated into the plan. Mr. Perry explained that there has been no discussion with respect to the park situation because they have set aside a small area that does not meet all of the City requirements. The applicant's intention is to utilize the Code provisions to make a contribution for whatever they do not have. In addition, the applicant is providing the pedestrian access to the public park north of the Meadows. He reiterated that the applicant is in agreement with 'all conditions. The only issue subject to debate is the 40' street versus the 50' street. The project is not feasible without 40' streets because the lot sizes will be dramatically altered. There is a provision in the Code that allows the Commission to vary the street width without the applicant having to request a variance. In response to Commissioner Tillman, Mr. Perry advised that there is a 20' landscape buffer along the west property line adjacent to the mobile homes. In addition, there are the typical rear yard setbacks that average approximately 15J. There will be large shade and canopy trees in the buffer planted on 30' centers along the perimeter as well as a Ficus hedge that will grow to a height of 6' or 7'. Commissioner Bradley asked Mr. Perry to explain why the applicant cannot make the average lot size larger than 6,000 square feet. 10 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 Mr. Perry explained that, for economic reasons, the project would not be feasible if the lots are all 6,000. If the applicant constructs a 50' width street and maintains 6JOOO square foot lots, he would lose 25% of the lots. Land acquisition prices will not allow this project to be feasible. The applicant would look for another vacant parcel. Mr. Perry explained that the applicant is trying to maintain a certain size and type of house to try to meet the desires of the City with respect to upgrading housing stock. To increase lot sizes and street width, the number of lots must be reduced. Therefore, a higher priced house must be built to make up the economic loss. This could put the developer out of the market because it does not make sense to build that high- priced housing project in the neighborhood. The applicant has met all of the City's requirements. Many of those requirements are in excess of what the County would require. The only things the applicant cannot do is provide a 50' width street and 6,000 square foot minimum lot size. Twenty-seven of the 98 lots exceed the minimum requirement, 35 lots are at 5,000 square feet, and the remaining lots are between 5JOOO and 6,000 square feet. The applicant has made a good effort to accommodate all of the City's requirements. In response to Commissioner Bradley, Ms. Heyden explained that the LUI at the Meadows is probably six, and there are nine different podS in that subdivision. The lots in the smaller single- family pods are 5,000 square feet. The lots in the last pod that was built are approximately 6,000 to 7,000 square feet. However, the average lot size in the Meadows is 5,500 square feet. Commissioner Bradley feels that if the Commission is adamant in requiring the minimum lot size, the City will have better housing stock. Mayor Taylor agreed with Commissioner Bradley's remarks and pointed out that one of the goals of this Commission was to upgrade housing stock in this community. He is not happy with crammed in homes with no sidewalks on narrow streets. Ms. Heyden explained that this applicant was faced with the decision of whether to go through the County process or come to the City. This property is in our Reserve Annexation Area. Even if we enter into a Water Service Agreement with the applicant, he would have to come to us at some point. Water service and annexation are done simultaneously. We wanted the applicant to come through our process so that once the property is annexed, it meets our standards. To entice the applicant to come to the City, we developed a proposal for the applicant to get through our process in an expeditious manner. As part of that proposal, much negotiation took place. The original plan was for 4,500 square foot lots. This parcel of land is very small compared to other parcels within the Meadows. Staff was able to persuade the applicant to increase the lot sizes to not less than 5,000 square feet. The applicant has made an effort to comply with our housing goals while still maintaining a marketable project. Ms. Heyden reminded the Commissioners that we now require all local streets to have sidewalks on both sides. The applicant can meet all design requirements within a 40' right-of- way. The only remaining issue is whether or not the variance process can be part of these proceedings. Mr. Perry advised that there were no letters of objection written from the surrounding neighborhood. The applicant has made a significant effort and wants to meet all regulations to the best of his ability. Although the applicant does not meet the minimal 6,000 square feet on all lots, he averages 6,000 square feet. The land use intensity is less than any other development in the surrounding area. Mr. Perry urged the Commission to grant approval of this petition. 11 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6,1998 Commissioner Bradley said he appreciates the applicant's efforts to comply. However, he has a problem with the 40' street width. Mr. Perry explained that the pavement meets all of the City's requirements. The applicant is able to fit one sidewalk and will construct the other sidewalk by way of an easement. He reminded the Commissioners that this street would be a private street. Commissioner Bradley feels this is too much of a project on a small site. Mr. Perry said the applicant could have gone to the County and gotten approval for 4,500 square foot lots with a 40' roadway and bulkheads instead of the cul-de-sacs. He feels the applicant has made a real effort to work with the City. Commissioner Jaskiewicz said she appreciates the efforts that were madeJ and she realizes that if this project went through the County process and we annex this property at a later date, we will have to deal with smaller lots than are currently being proposed. She concurs with staff that the applicant made a sincere effort, and she is in favor of this project. Commissioner Tillman expressed concem about the width of the roadway with respect to emergency vehicles, and questioned whether the applicant could improve the buffer. Mr. Perry said the proposed landscaping is in excess of City requirements. Mr. Bryan advised that since the Ficus hedge is 20' wideJ nothing would be accomplished by constructing a berm. The applicant proposes a Ficus hedge at grade. In addition, there will be trees not less than 30' on centers. There are clusters of trees and Palms in addition to the trees on 30' centers. One reason a decision was made not to do a berm was that there is a technical problem associated with berms related to rear yard drainage. In addition, there is not enough space available to include a 5' or 6' berm. However, the applicant can put in a 2' or 3' berm. Vice Mayor Titcomb concurred with Commissioner BradleyJs feelings about house size and street size. However, he appreciated the efforts made by the applicant to meet our Code requirements, and realizes the benefit of annexation of the property at this time. He will support this project. Bulent Kastarlak, Director of Development. said that in considering this subdivision, it is important to think about the final product. This plan has 2,600 square foot houses on each lot. Even if a one-car garage were removed. a 2,000 square foot house would remain. ThereforeJ there was no flexibility to design this project differently. He commended the designer of this project. The size of the lots is compatible and he is comfortable with the project. He recommends approval of this project. Ms. Heyden advised that this applicant is the first applicant in three years who has not included the buffer as part of the lot size. If this applicant did that, it would raise the lot size by 1,000 square feet. Although Mayor Taylor still desires better housing stock for the City, based on the comments made by Planning & Zoning, and the applicant's efforts to work with the City, he will support this project. 12 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 Motion Commissioner Jaskiewicz moved to approve the request for annexation, the amendment of the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan from MR-5 in Palm Beach County to Low Density Residential, and to rezone the property from Agricultural Residential (AR) in Palm Beach County to Planned Unit Development with a land use intensity of 4.0 (PUD with LUI=4.0) to allow for 98 zero lot line, single-family homes, subject to staff comments. Commissioner Tillman seconded the motion that carried 5-0. Mr. Perry reported that he has a long history in the City of Boynton Beach. He complimented staff and said this has been his best experience working with the City. B.

She thanked staff for their professionalism in keeping the applicant on track during this Comprehensive Plan process. She further thanked the residents of Leisureville who met with the applicant on Friday. In response to that meeting, the applicant revised the site plan. Copies of those revisions were distributed to the Commissioners and are attached to the original set of these minutes on file in the City Clerk's Office. Ms. Smith referred to Page 3 of Planning & Zoning Division Memorandum No. 97-596 that provides excerpts from the City's Comprehensive Plan. This. is a transitionalJ moderate-impact site plan that will respect the neighbors. The project meets concurrency and will maintain the character of the surrounding community. Adverse impacts on the natural environment will be minimized. This project meets the first goal of the Comprehensive Plan. With respect to infrastructure, this proposal will not change any of the water or sewer lines currently in place. There will be no impact on the school system, park system, or drainage system of the City. The Traffic Circulation Element requires the project to maintain Level of Service C or better on daily and peak-hour conditions on roads such as SW 8th. Since 13 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6,1998 Woolbright Road is a County roadway, they set the Level of Service. This project is well within the limits of the Traffic Circulation Element as it relates to all of the roads. This project has been designed to be sensitive to the commercial activities and residential community bordering it. The project has all of the characteristics of a mixed-use project, and is appropriately located. The commercial portions of the project are quiet. There are day impacts, but there is no noise, odor, or early or late hours. It is consistent with the character of the surrounding area. Higher densities are not being proposed. This project will not change the character of Lake Boynton Estates. Lake Boynton Estates is one-quarter mile north of this project, across a five-acre preserve ana a 12-acre retention area that is permanent open space. In addition, it is across a four-lane divided highway. The Vinings Apartment Complex is adjacent to the residential portion of this proposed project. The Vinings is 16.8 units per acre. There are 13 beds per acre in this proposed project. The First Baptist Church purchased this property for their future church. When the church was proposed, deed restrictions ran with the land and the surrounding area. Those restrictions would not allow certain uses to be built within close proximity of the church. Those deed restrictions have expired. and some of those uses have been developed. The church no longer feels this location is appropriate for their use. This project is compatible with the scale. It is across from the Shoppes of Woolbright. There have been suggestions to develop this property as residential. The traffic vested for the church is approximately 750 trips per day. This figure equates to 75 homes. Seventy-five homes on 14.8 acres would be a density of 1.9 units per acre. The applicant does not feel 2-units per acre is logical on this property. If the applicant decided to develop a project similar to the Vinings. he would be over the traffic proposed. In addition, it is felt that this location may not be appropriate for residential since it is very close to commercial. Ms. Smith urged the Commission to support this proposal. Tambri Heyden, Planning & Zoning Director, advised that staff recommends denial of this request for two reasons. The primary reason for denial is traffic and the increase in the number of trips this project will generate beyond what is vested for this parcel. Level of Service C is our adopted Level of Service. Southwest 8th Street is a local street. Palm Beach County is not required to review it. nor do they have standards available for such a review. Level of Service is lowered with the number of traffic lights and stop signs. Staff concurs with the applicant about the daily trips. A count taken during peak indicated 6J374 daily trips per day. Staff has reduced that number to an average of 6,102 daily trips. Staff used a table that indicates that the threshold for Level of Service C for this road is 8,800. This project will be over the threshold for Level of Service C by 432 average-trips per day. The office building is the major traffic generator of this complex. It generates approximately 80% of the overall trips. It is a three-story building. If that portion of the project was reduced by one floor, it will still be over the threshold for Level of Service C by approximately 125 average daily trips. The second reason for denial is we have seen an inundation of ACLFs and nursing homes over the past year. Some of them have been approved and others have gone through a number of 14 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6,1998 time extensions. In reviewing the Comprehensive Plan, we have filled our demands for this use in our area. Ms. Smith explained that Level of Service C is a range, and everyone has a different way of defining it. The City's Codes do not define Level of Service C. One of many definitions available defines it as 8,800. The applicant's traffic engineer does not believe the level of traffic for this project meets the City's Level of Service C considering the formula the applicant was asked to use. Rob Rennebaum, a registered Professional Engineer with Simmons & White Engineers, has been performing traffic engineering for approximately 15 years. Eleven years have been spent doing this job in Palm Beach County. Mr. Rennebaum is a member of the Palm Beach County Access Management Task Team, serves on the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Appeals Board and is a member of the National Institute of Transportation. In the original staff report prepared for the Planning & Development Board, the numbers indicated that the applicant would be over the Level of Service. Staff has agreed with Mr. Rennebaum's number of 6,100 trips. The staff report indicated the number staff felt was approved but not built. Even though those trips are not on the road, staff felt they should be considered. The applicant did consider those trips along with the trips associated with their project. The applicant also considered the trips that would travel north on SW 8th. The original report assigned 20% of the project trips north. When Mr. Rennebaum prepared his report, he was conservative and assigned 40% of the project trips north. He also dealt with the number that was approved, but is not built. Mr. Rennebaum was able to show that the applicant was under the most conservative way of looking at Level of Service C (8,800). The confusing issue involves the fact that Level of Service C is a range. County standards do not apply. The applicant must use the FOOT statewide standards to establish Level of Service C. This is based on number of signals per mile. Level of Service C is 15JOOO at 2 ~ signals per mile. At 2 ~ to 4 ~ signals per mile, the figure is 8,800. Signalized intersections per mile are figured by length link. It is one mile from Woolbright Road to Boynton Beach Boulevard. DOT mandates that each signal at each end be counted as one-half of one signal. This amounts to a total of one signal for this area. Therefore, the applicant is dealing with a link that is one mile long with one signal (following DOT standards). Therefore, Level of Service C would be 15,000 in the one-mile range. Staff indicated that the project was over Level of Service C by 432 trips. That figure is based on 2 ~ to 4 ~ signals per mile. That is not the appropriate table to use to analyze this link. Although it appears clear that the table to be used should be 15,200, stop signs must be considered. There are two stop signs on this link. Mr. Rennebaum stated that Level of Service C for this road is somewhere in the range of 15,000 and 8,800. DOT does not have a Clear table that includes calculations when stop signs are involved. Level of Service is based on delay in travel times. Stop signs cause delay and reduce travel speeds and travel times. However, they do not have the same effect as signals. Mr. Rennebaum feels staff reinvestigated what is approved but not built and determined that amounts to 400 to 500 trips. Mr. Rennebaum stated that he was very conservative in his calculations by using the worst table that was available (8,800). In a worst-case scenario, Mr. Rennebaum's report indicates the applicant would be a few trips lower. As an expert, Mr. Rennebaum does not believe this project will cause SW 8th Street to go over Level of Service C. 15 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 Bulent Kastarlak, Director of Development, feels the size of the medical building is equivalent to a hospital. This facility alone is 67,000 square feet. This is not a neighborhood type of medical facility. He does not feel this site plan is sensitive to the quality of the environment in this area. In addition, he pointed out that the road narrows to two lanes just a few hundred yards north of this project. This will present a traffic problem. Mr. Rennebaum stated that his entire discussion was based on the two-lane roadway - not the four-lane roadway to the south. MAYOR TAYLOR ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. Following is a list of people who spoke in opposition of the proposal. Their concerns focused on the traffic that would impact their neighborhood. Margy Lenhertz Steven Scott Gary Lenhertz Neal Smith Daryl Green Robert Clark Stanley Olsen Howard Brown Robert Hahn Susan Hahn Jose Aguila Tom Mathis 619 SW 2nd Avenue 215 swath Street 619 SW 2nd Avenue 220 swath Street 645 SW 2nd Avenue 744 SW 1st Court 1 06 NW ath Street 732 West Ocean 746 West Ocean 746 West Ocean aoo sw 15t Court 731 West Ocean Ms. Ellen Alexander, 604 Canal Way, expressed concern about the three-story medical building that was proposed. Following is a list of people who spoke in favor of this project. They support the sale of this property since they feel a church use is no longer appropriate in this location. Furthermore, they wish to remain in the downtown area of Boynton Beach and be part of the revitalization of the City. Bud Meadows Dave Edward Dorothy Von Gary Brandenburg Cliff Melear Ann We miss Lee Wische* 200 SW 12th Avenue 1360 SW 27th Place 334 SW 11th Avenue Law firm of Carlton Fields 312 SW 11th Avenue 6760 East View Drive, Lantana 1302 SW 1ath Street *Mr. Wische submitted a letter of support from Clydu Heisinger, President of the Board of Directors of Palm Beach Leisureville Community Association, Inc. The letter is attached to the original set of these minutes on file in the City Clerk's Office. 16 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6,1998 Greg Kino, attorney with Boose, Casey & Ciklin, and representing Woolbright PCD and Howard Scharlln, advised that the property owner has not breached the covenants. There was a five-year time period that prohibited certain uses from being constructed. That time period has expired. The only use that was inconsistent with the covenant was the drive-through. With respect to traffic, Mr. Kino reminded the Commissioners that his client is vested for a certain amount of trips and square footage. No further road improvements will be necessitated by his applicant's projectsJ and his client will not provide funding for any road improvements that might be necessary in the future if approval of this project results in the total amount of trips exceeding the amount of vested trips. Mr. Kino explained that the City has told his client he cannot exceed the amount of vested trips for his project. The applicant has felt that would be possible if he could meet the adopted level of Service on the roadways. The church is now doing that by going beyond 750. In the event his client has a user that will exceed the vested trips, they will proceed under this same type of scenario as long as they meet the level of Service. . Mr. Kino's client is not opposed to the proposed uses. However, he does not expect the buyer to object to any future retail or commercial type use his client proposes. Mr. Kino was somewhat concerned that the applicant would withdraw from the cost of the drainage maintenance. However, he realized that the applicant has agreed to remain within the maintenance association and pay their fair' share of drainage. He requested that the Commission consider this as a condition of approval of this project. WITH NO ONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK, MAYOR TAYLOR CLOSED THE PUBLIC HEARING. Ms. Smith addressed some of the concerns mentioned by the residents. · For the purpose of proceedingJ Ms. Smith agreed with staff on traffic level of Service and definition. The applicant will accept 432 average daily trips which equals a reduction of 12,650 square feet off the medical building. · The applicant feels this parcel is a good location for the ClF and an offer is imminently expected if this proposal is approved by the Commission. · The proposal is well beneath the lot coverage percentage allowed in this area. Only 28% of the lot will be covered. In response to Mayor Taylor, Ms. Smith said she did not agree to eliminate one story of the medical facility because that would amount to 33,000 square feet. However, they will reduce the square footage of the facility. . Commissioner Jaskiewicz did not feel this particular project would cause the truck traffic concerns expressed by the residents. The people who will be served at this ClF will probably not be driving during peak hours. In addition, most medical facilities close by 5:00 p.m. Commissioner Jaskiewicz likes the mix of uses proposed in this proj€ct, and the fact that time frames will not coincide with traffic from The Home Depot. Commissioner Jaskiewicz suggested that the applicant consider construction of a right-turn only out of the medical complex. This would reduce the amount of traffic traveling north on SW 8th. She further recommends that staff investigate solutions to the traffic problems in this area, perhaps by constructing a loop road 17 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6,1998 along Morton's Way. Commissioner Jaskiewicz agrees with staff that the medical office building is not acceptable with respect to size. It should not exceed two stories. She would want a commitment that if this project is approved, that it will be built on that property within a specified period of time, or the zoning would revert back to its current zoning designation. Vice Mayor Titcomb realized that the problem with this petition was the ongoing negative impacts on the neighborhoods to the north. He recommended that staff investigate the possibility of abandoning SW 8th Street past the conservation area up to Ocean Drive, and dedicating it to a public park. By doing this, the traffic problem would be solved. In order for Vice Mayor Titcomb to support this project, he would like the office building reduced to two stories to guarantee the reduction of traffic trips. He feels this project is compatible with surrounding uses. He requested that a solution be found to the traffic problem that will impact the neighborhood to the north. If that problem is solved, he will support this petition. Commissioner Bradley agreed that the traffic has increased a great deal since the road was opened approximately one year ago. He requested that staff comment on Vice Mayor Titcomb's suggestion to abandon the roadway. Commissioner Tillman was in agreement with Vice Mayor Titcomb's remarks. In addition, he feels the biggest issue is the size of the middle building. A reduction in the size of that building would gain his support for the project. He also agreed that something must be done about the traffic problem in this area. He pointed out that traffic would be generated regardless of the project that is developed on this property. He will support this project with a reduced size medical facility. Mayor Taylor said he would not support abandoning a major road in this City because he does not see that as a solution to the problem. While he understands that there are problems because of increased traffic, he realizes those problems will be exacerbated as the remainder of the property is developed. He suggested that the applicant consider funding speed humps on SW 8th (right off Boynton Beach Boulevard) when construction commences. These speed humps will deter people from using the roadway. He will support this petition if the medical facility is reduced to two stories. He agreed that staff needs to look at ways to deter traffic off SW 8th Street. A new resident of the area recommended that Ocean Drive at SW 8th to Boynton Beach Boulevard be changed to a one-way roadway to eliminate traffic in this area. Ms. Smith agreed to reduce the number of stories of the medical facility to two. However, she requested that the size be allowed within the allotted traffic capacity. That number is approximately 54JOOO square feet which is a reduction fro"" the originally proposed 67,000 square feet. The applicant agrees to fund speed humps concurrent with issuance of CertifiCate of Occupancy. The applicant has explored the possibility of having the medical facility closest to Cracker Barrel. Although it would be less efficient than having it in the center of the site, the applicant would be willing to move that facility. David Cheer, Planner/Landscape Architect and President of Seminole Bay Land Company, said the building was placed in the middle of the site because it is the major traffic generator. It was important to keep the traffic close to the intersection. In addition, an effort was made to save as many existing trees as possible on the site. 18 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 When Ms. Smith suggested this was a trade-off for the right-turn only lane, Mayor Taylor advised that this would be addressed at site plan. In Ms. Smith's opinion, the proposal is a good use of the property. However, it will come back to the Commission if any other project is suggested in the future. She recommended that the expiration of the Comprehensive Plan and rezoning request be tied to the life of the master plan. Ms. Heyden explained that the life of the rezoning is 18 months. If it is not acted on within that time periodJ it will revert to the original zoning. Commissioner Bradley asked for residents' input with respect to the installation of speed humps. Jose Aguila said he is not an expert on speed humps, and is not certain they are legal. He supports the closing of the road to through-traffic. He reminded the Commissioners that if this project is approved and the applicant exceeds the vested trips for the project, this would open the door for other developers to require the same treatment. Attorney Cherof pointed out that there were a number of issues discussed during these proceedings that were not incorporated in the conditions of approval, the comments of staffJ or comments of the Planning & Development Board. In addition, the applicant spoke of conditions they are amenable to. A number of questions were posed, and staff should have an opportunity to investigate and report back. Attorney Cherof recommended tabling this item to provide an opportunity to review the record so that all conditions can be documented and staff can have the opportunity to respond with respect to the issue of speed humps and road closure. In response to Mayor Taylor, Mr. Kastarlak advised that staff would be ready to provide a response with respect to the issues of speed humps and road closure within two weeks. Ms. Heyden said clarification is needed with respect to the height of the medical facility. It was her impression that the Commission wants the facility reduced in size to two stories. That would result in the reduction of 33,000 square feet. However, the applicant's offer to reduce the square footage equates to the number of trips they are over the threshold. Ms. Smith advised that this would equate to the 432 average daily trips that staff says exceed Level of Service C on SW 8lh and Ocean. A reduction in the building of 12,650 square feet will achieve consistency with the CityJs Level of Service. That is what the applicant would like to build at a two-story level. Commissioner Bradley explained that the Level of Service is, still questionable. He requested that the numbers be crunched to remove the entire third story while still keeping the same footprint. That would amount to a reduction of 33,000 square feet. Ms. Smith said that would more than exceed what is required by the Plan. Ms. Smith will provide the traffic savings at the next meeting. Mayor Taylor felt this discussion could take place when the applicant comes back at the next meeting. 19 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6, 1998 Motion Vice Mayor Titcomb moved to table this to the next meeting as per the City Attorney. Commissioner Tillman seconded the motion that carried 5-0. Mr. Aguila confirmed with Mayor Taylor that public input would be accepted at the next meeting with respect to the findings - not to rehash everything that was discussed at this meeting. Michael Morton, Woolbright Place development, said he is not opposed to approving this project, but he would be vehemently opposed to the closure of swath Street. The shopping center was planned dependent on the fact that the street goes from Woolbright Road to Boynton Beach Boulevard. The City cannot usurp his right to use that street in order to put 2,000 more trips on the road. He still has 157,000 square feet left to build. This proposed project is adding 67,000 square feet of retail that amounts to a 40% increase. There will be a lot more traffic on swath Street that was planned for and approved. The City cannot close sw.ath Street. Mayor Taylor said he tried to point out that fact earlier in the meeting. He reminded everyone present that the next City Commission meeting would be on January 20, 199a. MAYOR TAYLOR DECLARED A BRIEF RECESS AT 9:50 P.M. THE MEETING RECONVENED AT 10:05 P.M. VIII. BIDS: None IX. DEVELOPMENT PLANS: None X. NEW BUSINESS: Item B was addressed first while awaiting the return of the City Attorney. B. Authorization to amend agreement for professional services with BryantJ Miller & Olive City Manager Willis advised that there is an increasing trend in the public sector to hire an interest in Tallahassee to represent us while we go through the Legislative Sessions. Our experience with the school was a shining example of something that we probably would not have had any luck on without an extraordinary intervention effort in Tallahassee. Private sector lobbying efforts with millions of dollars to spend on issues on behalf of special interest groups are pushing every year for exemptions to governmental regulations and associated fees. These items have a significant budgetary impact on municipalities that sometimes result in millions of dollars in unfunded mandates. The telecommunications industry is trying to exempt itself from governmental regulations over siting of poles and related equipment in public rights-of-way and from the payment of associated licensing fees. This legislation, if successfully passed, would directly result in an immediate loss 20 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 6,1998 of revenue to the City in excess of $2 million upon passage. In addition, this is an immediate loss of home rule control over land use issues that impact rights-of-way. Despite the lobbying efforts of the Florida League of Cities to prevent the passage of unfunded mandates, we are seeing more legislation passed every year. This year alone, there is a four to five page summary of bills that are pending that will have an immediate adverse impact upon our ability to regulate our land uses and keep from raising taxes by charging user fees to members of the private sector that can easily afford them and add them in as a cost of doing business. City Manager Willis recommends expanding the lobbying efforts of the firm of Bryant, Miller & Olive. They are located in Tallahassee and they also represent the interests of the City of Boca Raton. City Manager Willis feels this is an excellent investment in the City's future. Motion Commissioner Tillman moved that we retain the firm of Bryant, Miller & Olive. Vice Mayor Titcomb seconded the motion. Commissioner Bradley agrees that it is critical to have a lobbyist, and he voted in favor of Bryant, Miller & Olive with respect to the education issue. This firm did a fine job lobbying for the high school, and he feels they will do a good job for the City if they are selected. Commissioner Bradley will not support hiring this firm because of the possibility of misperception on the part of the constituents. He feels we must avoid the perception of conflict of interest even if there appears to be no conflict, as in this situation. Commissioner Jaskiewicz confirmed with City Manager Willis that this firm will continue to lobby on behalf of the schools. The motion carried 4-1. (Commissioner Bradley dissented.) Discuss amendment of Code tl permit the Nuisance Abatement Board to impose fines Attorney Cherof advised that approximately one year agoJ one of the State courts passed a ruling that "took the teeth our of the Nuisance Abatement Board's ability to order closures of property. This was one of the key components of our Ordinance and one of the key powers needed to stop activity characterized as a nuisance. There are additional powers and procedures the Board can use that are not currently contained in the Ordinance. A. Attorney Cherof recommended that the Commission authorize him to bring back an Ordinance at the next meeting to further define the role of the Nuisance Abatement Board. Consensus There was a consensus of the Commission that Attorney Cherof bring back an Ordinance at the next meeting defining the roh~ of the Nuisance Abatement Board. XI. LEGAL: A.

Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Four Steel Communication Tower Marda Zimring Michael C. Desimone and Paul D. DeGrugillier Approximately 275 feet south of Ocean Avenue and west of 1-95 Request for conditional use approval to erect a 140 foot telecommunications tower on a vacant lot. Ms. Zimring agreed to all the staff conditions. At this time, Attorney Pawelczyk swore in all those who planned to testify on any item on the agenda this evening. He reminded everyone that each of the items on the agenda this evening will be placed on the Consent Agenda for the City Commission meeting. Therefore, this is the only opportunity to present all the evidence and testimony, etc. because the Commission is under no obligation to pull these items off the Consent Agenda. Chairman Wische opened the public hearing; howeverJ no one in the audience wished to address this item. Mr. Myott stated that in the text and at a previous meeting, the tower was represented as 141 or 143 feet. However, on the plan it shows it as 161 feet. Ms. Zimring advised that it is going to be limited to 140 feet and the plan submitted for building permits will reflect that. Mr. Myott inquired about the diameter of the pole. A gentleman in the audience advised that it is approximately 42 inches at the base and 12 to 15 inches at the top. Ms. Heyden advised that the applicant meets all the criteria for conditional use approval and she recommended approval of this request. 3 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27, 1998 As previously discussed at another meeting, Mr. Kastarlak was interested in an auxiliary use of this tower for other purposes.

Vice Chairman Reed seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. B. Subdivision Master Plan Modification 1. Project: Agent: Owner: Location: Description: Boynton Commerce Center Planned Industrial Development (PID) Alan Gainsborg Boynton Commercenter, Limited Partnership Corporate Drive Request for modification of the previously approved PID master plan to combine parcels 3A, 3B and 3C and replace the four planned office buildings, totaling 429,600 square feet, with four warehouse/manufacturing/office operation centers, totaling 134,259 square feet and two future buildings totaling 72,420 square feet. With regard to the master plan modification, Mr. Gainsborg agreed to all of staffs recommendations. However, he pointed out that the square footages in the recommendations are inaccurate based on some inaccurate data that was given to staff. The total project will be 206,460 square feet. With regard to Phase 1 of the project (Buildings A, BJ C and D), the square footages on the site plan as submitted were incorrect. Building A is 24,481 square feet. Building B is 43,225 square feet. Building C as shown on the plan is 32,279 square feet, and Building 0 is 43,239 square feet. Phase 2 of the project (Buildings E and F) will total 63,236 square feet. 4 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEET!NG BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27, 1998 Mr. Myott asked if this affects any of the comments. Ms. Heyden stated that she spelled out the square footage for each building in comment 36; however, she will make those adjustments. Mr. Myott asked if the parking requirements would still be met and Ms. Heyden answered affirmatively. Chairman Wische opened the public hearing; however, no one in the audience wished to address this item. Mr. Myott inquired about the elevation scheme and the wave. Mr. Gainsborg advised that it is an adaptation of a park that was recently rehabbed in Broward County. He combined the raised stucco band wave with the freestanding panel elevation. Mr. Myott asked if the proposed color is the same color as the bands on the existing building. Mr. Gainsborg advised that there is a different color scheme. The three existing buildings will be repainted and other aesthetic work will be done to bring them into concert. Motion Vice Chairman Reed moved to approve the request for modification of the previously approved PIO master plan to combine parcels 3A, 3B and 3C and replace the four planned office buildings with four warehouse/manufacturing/office operation centers and two future buildings, subject to staff comments. The total square footages of these buildings was corrected by Mr. Gainsborg as stated in these minutes. Mr. Dube seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. C. Site Plans New Site Plan 1. Project: Boynton Commerce Center, Operations Centers "A", "B" and "C" Alan Gainsborg Boynton Commercenter, Limited Partnership Corporate Drive Request for site plan approval to construct four warehouse/office/industrial buildings on parcels Agent: Owner: Location: Description: 5 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEET!NG BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27, 1998 3A, 3B and 3C (4.61 acres) of the Boynton Commerce Center PID. Mr. Gainsborg agreed to all staff comments, with the exception of comment 36. He advised that the correct square footages are as follows: Building A Building B Building C Building D 24,481 square feet 43,225 square feet 32,297 square feet 43,239 square feet Comment 39 requests a Unity of Title on the four existing buildings. However, Boynton Commercenter only owns three of those buildings. ThereforeJ he agreed to provide a Unity of Title with parcels 3D, E and F, but not 3G. Ms. Heyden confirmed that this was an error and that Mr. Gainsborg was correct. Chairman Wische opened the public hearing; however, no one in the audience wished to address this item. Mr. Dube requested that Cypress Mulch not be used and Mr. Gainsborg agreed. Motion Mr. Dube moved to approve the request for site plan approval to construct four warehouse/office/industrial buildings on parcels 3A, 3B and 3C (4.61 acres) of the Boynton Commerce Center PID, subject to staff comments and the following: .:. Comment 23 - that no Cypress mulch be used; .:. Comment 36 - replace the square footages as corrected by Mr. Gainsborg; and .:. Comment 39 - Unity of Title be given on all but 3G. Mr. Myott seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. 6 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27,1998 B. Subdivision Master Plan Modification 2. Project: Shoppes of Woolbright Planned Commercial District (PCD) Susan Prillaman Howard Scharlin, Trustee clo Michael Morton East and west sides of S.W. 8th Street, north of Woolbright Road Request for modification of the previously approved master plan to move the north property line between Home Depot and the undeveloped property to the north 40 feet north and to subdivide the undeveloped property and vested square footage into a 3.99 acre parcel with 49,106 square feet of retail and a 10.626 acre with 108,004 square feet of retail. (If item 8.2 approved, proceed to item C.2.) Agent: Owner: Location: Description: John Shem, Real Estate Manager for the Expo Division of the Home Depot in Atlanta Georgia, referred to comment 3 and did not believe platting is required because after the purchase and redistribution of the property, the resultant properties will only result in two parcels. He displayed a drawing of the overall master plan to clarify this point. Ms. Heyden still felt platting is required. Mr. Myott asked if it is a plat or a replat. Ms. Heyden advised that it is a replat. Mr. Shem reiterated that if the property resultant is two parcels or less, platting is generally waived or required to be waived. He stated that platting would be a severe time imposition on the ability to go forward with this development. It was Mr. Kastarlak's understanding that this particular review was to be conducted from the very beginning under the PCD rules and regulations and review procedures. This was made very clear to the owners and potential users because if it was not a PCD and was something else, like a subdivision, there would have been a different type of review. In the future, if there is a change from PCD to some other form of development, 7 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27, 1998 the review in front of the board this evening would not be valid and another review would have to be done at that time. Mr. Shern advised that this PCD is not being subdivided. He referred to the overall master plan that he displayed and stated that if the yellow portion is further subdivided and the result is three or more parcels, then it would have to be replatted. However, at the present time, there are only two parcels. Mr. Kastarlak stated that if the area designated yellow is subdivided in the future, it will no longer be a PCD. The area designated yellow will be extracted from the PCD and the PCD will no longer exist. This applicant will have two lots separated by the area designated yellow. He reiterated that whatever we do should be for the whole PCD. The area designated yellow is not owned by Home Depot. Mr. Shern did not know if this applicant can be held accountable for what might happen or not happen in the future. He stated that the applicant is entering into a transaction that will take a piece of property owned by one owner and create two parcels out of it. He believes this is consistent and conforms to the policies and regulations of the City. He did not believe that those policies or regulations require platting in this circumstance. What may happen in the future to the applicant's parcel or the remaining parcel would have to come back to staff and the City for the appropriate determination of action. He did not believe that this particular action at this particular time triggers that requirement. Mr. Rosenstock was concerned about what would happen if this site plan is approved this evening and the corporate owner of this property comes back again. He wondered if we are foreclosed from taking any action on the parcel designated in yellow in the future. Mr. Shern pointed out that whatever happens to that property in the future has to conform to the rules and regulations of the City. He stated that there was a suggestion that this applicant buy the rest of the property. Mr. Kastarlak commented that that would be wonderful. Mr. Shern found that outrageous. He stated that he wants to buy a piece of property in Boynton Beach to conduct his busi'ness and knows exactly what he needs to conduct his business. He objected to buying more property and planning somebody else' piece of property. He has prepared his master plan consistent with his building and consistent with the business he intends to conduct there. He did not know why they were made to suffer the additional time necessary to go through the replatting process when it does not seem to be consistent with any of the rules or policies of the 8 MINUTES PLANNING AND OEVElOPMENr BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27,1998 City of Boynton Beach. He is trying to open a business by a date certain in October 1998. Mr. Myott asked why this would affect the PCD designation and if PCDs can be adjacent to each other. Mr. Kastarlak advised that this property can be turned into two PCDs. However, they would have to operate on their own independent criteria. Attorney Pawelczyk would like to look into the replatting issue further. Mike Cavelli, a Certified Planner with Caulfield and Wheeler, stated that the PCD is a zoning designation of the property. When you go through the PCD process, you establish various criteria by which you are going to evaluate this site in terms of setbacks, parking, and all the development standards. You get some buffering requirements that under conventional zoning you normally would not have. You custom build an ordinance for a particular piece of property in a particular area that gives you some latitude in terms of how that property is developed if it does not quite fit into a conventional zoning type situation. The subdivision regulations deal with platting, not the PCD. The PCD is merely a development tool by which you establish criteria to do a review. If that piece of property needs to be platted, then you follow the platting regulations in terms of what has to be on that document, how that document is prepared and presented, and what is reviewed. The only thing you are going to affect in the PCD by doing a plat is if there are any minimum lot size requirements, access requirements, specific drainage requirements, or any other requirements that are part of the regulation of the zoning. The plat is merely a recordation of a graphic representation of a legal description. If somebody wants to develop only a section of the yellow area, they would have to replat showing the number of parcels that are created in the yellow area. This does not affect whether it is reviewed under a conventional zoning or a PCD zoning. No application is filed to change the zoning. The issue of not knowing what is going to take place there does not have any bearing on the PCD. Under the definition of subdivision regulations, if it needs a plat, it is reviewed in terms of the State Statute requirements and the City Code requirements in terms of the information that has to be on that plat. That does not change the zoning. You still have the latitude to review that under the standards of the PCD. Mr. Kastarlak stated that it is not so much a question of knowing what is going to happen in the future. He pointed out that if there are separate guidelines for each one 9 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27,1998 of the parcels, there is no PCD. He was trying to preserve the unity of this entire complex as one PCD. Attorney Pawelczyk questioned if each parcel is reviewed under the PCD guidelines and has to conform to those guidelines and if staff reviews those guidelines to assure that they are in conformance with the zoning requirements. Mr. Kastarlak said they all have to be under the one guideline established for this PCD. Mr. Morton, one of the owners under the Howard Scharlin Trustee Agreement, gave a brief history of the platting of this property. Mr. Kastarlak stated that platting is not the issue. If the master plan is going to be changed every time a parcel comes into play, it loses its meaning. The PCD is based on the master plan. The two of them go together. If the master plan is modified every time someone comes in, then the rules of the PCD are also being modified. Mr. Shern was in favor of the City Attorney's Office reviewing the necessity of replatting under these circumstances. If there is an obligation to replat, he agreed to do so. However, he did not want to be required to replat purely because he is asking for a master plan modification. Chairman Wische opened the public hearing; however, no one in the audience wished to address this item. Motion Mr. Dubs moved to approve the request for modification of the previously approved master plan to move the north property line between Home Depot and the undeveloped property to the north 40 feet north and to subdivide the undeveloped property and vested square footage into a 3.99 acre parcel with 48,106 square feet of retail and a 10.626 acre with 108,004 square feet of retail, subject to staff comments and subject to review of the necessity for comment 3 by the City Attorney's Office and staff. Vice Chairman Reed seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. C. Site Plans New Site Plan 2. Project: Shoppes of Woolbright - Home Depot Expo Design Center 10 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27,1998 Agent: Owner: Description: Susan Prillaman Howard Scharlin, Trustee clo Michael Morton Southwest corner of unimproved Purple Heart Way and the CSX railroad. Request to construct 108,004 square feet of retail space on 10.626 acres within the Shoppes of Woolbright PCD. Location: Mr. Shern stated that staff has been very helpful, cooperative, and responsive. With regard to comment 16, he stated that the agreements between Mr. Morton and the City are silent on the issue of the streetlights. It is his understanding that streetlights are under a master agreement with FPL and are not the responsibility of the developer. Ms. Heyden did not verify whether or not the agreement referred to in comment 16 addresses streetlights. However, whenever a street extension is required, the streetlights are required to be put in. The developer makes those arrangements, FPL puts in the lights, and the City then pays for the energy and maintaining them in perpetu ity. Mr. Shern addressed comments 20 and 27 and stated that he attempted to include a sign package which is a compromise from the agreement between Mr. Morton and the City. The current situation allows for two signs to exist. He suggested eliminating one of the signs and having a sign of the proportions noted in item 20. This sign would carry all of the major tenants of the PCD and there would be no requirement for the second sign currently allowed. Chairman Wische inquired about the size of the proposed sign. Mr. Shern advised that the existing sign is about 8'7" wide and 30' tall. The proposed sign is 10' wide and 30' tall. The existing sign is about 160' from the pavement. He found that there is no proportional adjustment for distance from the road for signage. In the agreement, there is an additional sign that falls into this location. This eliminates the allowance for this additional sign and incorporates the Home Depot, the Expo, and the major tenants of the PCD onto a monument sign 30' tall and 10' wide. With its base, the calculation comes to 270' of signage. The alternative is to keep the existing sign, which is about the same size, and add the additional sign elements to the second sign. However, he found this architecturally distracting. The purpose of the sign is to eliminate confusion for people on this road before they have to make a decision. He wanted to combine all 11 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27,1998 the information one would need to one location on a sign that is readable from the street. Mr. Shern requested permission to use the Expo national logo letter colors on the sign. Of the four letters in the word, "Expo", two of the colors probably conform and two of them probably do not. Expo is a unit of Home Depot that is about to be rolled out nationally to the tune of 200 stores. Boynton Beach has been selected for the third of the true prototypes. This will be the subject of national advertising and national exposure. It is very critical that the applicant be able to combine the advertising with the signage and the store displays to provide for consistency. Mr. Myott pointed out that the other three tenants could request that the colors of their logo signs be allowed also. Mr. Shern stated that they would have to go through the process and be reviewed. Mr. Rosenstock questioned staff about the size of the sign. Ms. Heyden advised that that existing sign is nonconforming. It falls under the amortization clause and would have to be replaced in 1999. The sign would have to conform to a 10 foot setback, 160 square feet in size, and no taller than 20 feet. Mr. Rosenstock felt the only reason the applicant wants the sign to be 10' x 30' is for advertising purposes. Mr. Shern pointed out that the sign has to be read from over 160 feet, or 50 yards from the traveling surface. Mr. Shern was willing to put in the two signs instead; however, he did not think that would be in the best interest of what the City is trying to accomplish. He was offering an alternative which amounts to less square footage and less signage. Attorney Pawelczyk advised that the applicant would have to apply for a sign variance. In addition, in general, settlement agreements must be amended by the Court. Mr. Shern withdrew his objection to comment 20. Mr. Shern referred to comment 24 and pointed out that this property is under easement to the Florida Department of Transportation and he did not know if he had the right to modify the vegetation on their easement. He expressed the same concem with comment 25. Mr. Rosenstock was disappointed with the way Home Depot has landscaped its property. He suggested that the corporate officers or the people responsible look upon 12 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27,1998 their community responsibility regarding landscaping and see what they can do to improve it. Ms. Heyden advised that Royal blue was contained in the original sign program. Nothing else in that center is Royal blue, so we are going to lose one color. She advised that we have been having some difficulty with Home Depot in getting them to maintain their landscaping in the rear of their building. The City Forester has worked on getting Home Depot to comply with their section of the buffer; therefore, this applicant should not have any problems meeting comments 24 and 25. Mr. Shern reiterated that he was not sure he had the right to do this. As long as he is able to do it, he will. Mr. Myott referred to comment 27 and asked if the approved sign program could be amended to include violet, pea-green, and two other colors that may not have been used to date. He felt the Expo logo and the elevations of the building were attractive. Ms. Heyden advised that Royal blue is the only color that is not currently being used. She just wanted to bring to the board's attention that additional colors are being added. There are now 12 colors. Mr. Morton advised that Royal blue will no longer be a color in the program. Discussion ensued regarding the size of signs. Ms. Heyden and Attorney Pawelczyk explained that all nonconforming signs have to comply by December 31, 1999. Therefore, any sign larger than 160 square feet will have to be taken down. Mr. Dube referred to comment 28 regarding roof top equipment and commented that the Home Depot rooftop can be seen from 1-95 and Woolbright Road and it is a mess. Chairman Wische opened the public hearing; however, no one in the audience wished to address this item. Motion Mr. Myott moved to approve the new site plan for the Home Depot Expo Center as submitted, subject to staff comments in the supplemental handout at the meeting tonight. Vice Chairman Reed seconded the motion. Ms. Heyden asked if the Board wanted to delete comment 27 and allow the green and violet colors. Mr. Myott added the following to the motion: That we include the green 13 MINUTES PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JANUARY 27,1998 and violet as submitted on the sign drawings to be included in the sign criteria for the development. He withdrew comment 27 in the handout. Vice Chairman Reed agreed to the change to the motion. The motion carried unanimously. 8. OTHER None. 9. COMMENTS BY MEMBERS None. 10. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the board, Mr. Rosenstock moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:43 p.m. Ms. Frazier seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
