CORRESPONDENCE BUILDING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 90-079 March 7, 1990 TO: Timothy Cannon, Acting City Planner () THRU: Don Jaeger, Building & Zoning Director~t~ FROM: Michael E. Haag, Zoning & Site Development Administrator RE: CITRUS GLEN - MASTER PLAN MODIFICATION Upon review of the above mentioned project, the following comment must be addressed in order to conform with Boynton Beach City Codes: Identify on plans minimum buildable area front setback dimension. meh:eaf cc:Don Jaeger CITRSGLN.SDD EN:;INEERING DEPAR'IMENI' MEM) NO. 90-047 March 6, 1990 'ID: J. Scott Miller City Manager FRCM: Vincent A. Finizio Acting Assistant to the City Engineer RE: T.R.B. Ccmrents Master Plan Modification Citrus Glen M.:M Design Group In response to the applicants request for guidance relative to the plan sub- mittal which included a quantity of t'WO (2) alternatives for the 34' roadway and a quantity of two (2) alternatives for the 60' R.O.W., my findings are as follows: 1. The justification for rrodifying this Master Plan is a self-imposed issue, therefore, a) Alternates 1 & 2 of the 34' roadway areas are not acceptable. Alternate #1 does not satisfy off-street parking requirerrents for parking area \ '. di.Irensions and vehicles overhanging sidewalks pose a nuisance and a hazard to pedestrians. Alternate #2 for the 34' roadway areas, deletes sidewalks that are required by Subdivision and Platting Regulations. A larger structure is not suitable justification for anitting required sidewalks. Drainage swales would be reduced by 50% in Alternate #1. b) Alternate # 1 for the 60 I R. O. W. I S is not acceptable due to non-ccrrpliance with off-street parking requirerrents/dimensions. Alternate #2 for the 60 I R.O.W. is suitable and can be achieved through re-platting. lJ : 4 _;.dAL-rr- Vincent A. Finizio VAF/ck cc: Jim Golden, Senior City Planner , MEMORANDUM Utilities #90-156 FROM: Timothy Cannon Interim Planning Director John A. Guidry )~~j1 Director of Utilities ~, TO: DATE: March 7. 1990 SUBJECT: TRB Review - Citrus Glen - Master Plan Modification In our opinion. the request to reduce front and/or rear setbacks from previously established minimums constitutes a substantial change in the Master Plan. and should require a public hearing so as to encourage public input on this matter. However. should the City Commission approve this change, we request that front setbacks be reduced to not less than 18' and rear setbacks to not less than 12', so as to prevent impacting existing fire hydrants, water services and sewer services. With an 18' front setback, the building would be within 6' of a utility easement. In the event future repairs are necessary on the water ~nd sewer utilities in the easement it is conceivable that backhoes and other heavy equipment would have to operate within 6' of someone's front door. We respectfully request that the Commission consider this fact when making their decision. dmt bc: Peter Mazzella PLANNING DEPT. MEMORANDUM NO. 90-057 TO: Chairman and Members Planning and Zoning Board FROM: Timothy P. Cannon Interim Planning Director DATE: March 12, 1990 SUBJECT: Citrus Glen - MPM (setbacks and lot size) File No. 432 In addition to those issues raised by the Technical Review Board and outlined in the staff report (Planning.Department Memorandum No. 90-056), please be advised of the following Planning Department staff comments with respect to the above-referenced request for a master plan modification: 1. Approval of an 18 foot front building setback and 12 foot rear building setback would be a deviation from the minimum standard for building setbacks within PUDs (20 foot front, 15 foot rear and 15 foot on zero lot line side) that has been the standard for PUD develop- ment in the City. 2. The following aesthetic concerns are raised for consideration when evaluating this request: a. The construction of such a large unit on the lots in this project will result in an almost 45% lot coverage, the maximum which has generally been allowed in PUDs. This will undoubtedly cause the project to appear congested and overbuilt. b. Market will control which unit size is constructed on these lots. Therefore, if a reduced front setback is approved, after units having the previously approved 20 foot setback are under construction, no orderly arrangement of staggered setbacks will result. 3. The Citrus Glen and Lawrence Grove PUDs have been a model for more recent PUD master plan approvals in City. It is felt that the requested modification of the citrus Glen master plan will erode the integrity of the project. 2- - - , ,., 7 ~j/:) , ,'1;;I~Y{: C~~N-~'-' F TPC:frb xc: Central File ~ C:PM90-057
