MEETING MINUTES
BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MAY 19, 1997
Mr Lewicki advised that staff has no objection to this request. This project was processed for site plan
approval, but approval of this variance request is one of the conditions of approval of that site plan
process. The site plan was reviewed by the Planning and Development Board, and they unanimously
recommended approval of this project.
Motion
Ms. Hollingshead moved to grant the specific variance as requested with no additional conditions. Mr.
Rappoport seconded the motion which carried unanimously.
7. OTHER BUSINESS
Vice Chairman Miriana announced that this was probably the last time this board would be meeting since
the Ordinance abolishing the board is due for second reading at the City Commission meeting tomorrow
evening. Chairwoman Hammer thanked everyone for serving on the board.
8. COMMENTS BY MEMBERS
None
9. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Board of Zoning Appeals, Ms. Hollingshead moved to

. front setback: to two (2) feet from the required ten (10) feet (a reduction
of eight (8) feet; and
. side setback: to one (1) foot from the required ten (10) feet (a reduction
of nine (9) feet.
Chairwoman Hammer read the application.
Earl Kruger, Planning & Zoning Consultant, representing the owner, advised that this property is
situated on an angle to Seacrest Boulevard. There is a small area between Seacrest Boulevard and 27'"
Street which was taken by the City. For that reason, the applicant cannot construct a sign within the
proper setbacks that will be of any use because it will not be seen by anyone. The applicant is requesting
a variance to place the sign within one foot of the western property line, and two feet from the eastern
property line. This will allow the sign to be seen from the north and south approaches on Seacrest
Boulevard. Mr. Kruger confirmed for the members that the overall height of the sign is approximately 9.5'
to 10'. The sign is placed high enough so that it will not interfere with any lines of sight. The temporary
sign and the brick posts will be removed.
Mr. Lewicki advised that staff has no objection to the approval of this request with the condition that the
temporary sign and two posts be removed prior to erection of the sign.
Motion
Vice Chairman Miriana moved to GRANT the variance based on the fact that this is a special condition
created by the fact that the property is triangular in shape and it necessitates a special condition whereby
the sign, to be properly viewed, must be forward of the property lines as requested; to grant a variance for
a setback of two feet front and one foot side, with the understanding that the temporary sign and both
existing brick posts be removed prior to erection of the proposed sign. Mr. Rappoport seconded the
motion which carried unanimously.

Requested
Variance:
Sun-Sentinel Distribution Facility at Quantum Park
Park Ridge Road/Alpha Drive, Lot 46A, Quantum Park
Butters Construction and Development, Inc.
Request for a variance to the Land Development Regulations Chapter 2,
Section 7.4.3. - Accessways to reduce the minimum driveway spacing
requirement of 150 feet to approximately 63 feet 9 inches.
Malcolm Butters, 2005 NW 62 Street, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, advised that he is under contract to
purchase this land for a distribution facility for the Sun-Sentinel Newspaper. This is a small lot at the end
of an area that has been developed into small industrial uses. Because this property is located on a
corner, wherever the driveways are positioned, they will not meet the Code. A traffic consultant analyzed
the situation and determined that the proposed location of the driveways is the safest and most efficient.
The driveways are as far from the corner as they can possibly be placed for safety reasons. This results
in the driveways being less than 150' from Flowers and Safety Kleen. However, in terms of traffic safety, it
is the best location. Mr. Kruger advised that similar variances have been granted in this area of the Park
because of the development of this area as small lots.
