SUBJECT:
Tara Oaks PUD - MPMD #95-007
(Change in access, recreation, unit type and use
acreage)
Please be advised that the above-referenced item is on the table
for the October 17, 1995 commission meeting agenda.
DESCRIPTION: A detailed description of this request is presented
in planning and Zoning Department Memorandum No. 95-541. You
will recall that at the last Commission meeting the applicant
requested that the commission table this item to the october 17th
meeting. You will further recall that the reason for the request
to table was to allow time for the applicant to substantiate his
claim that the description of his request in the above-referenced
report, specifically to omit the extension of S.W. congress
Boulevard to Knuth Road, was in error based on his belief that
the omission of this road was approved with the 1990 rezoning/
master plan for Tara Oaks.
Today the applicant plans to further research this issue by
viewing the files of the planning and Zoning, Engineering and
Utilities Departments, since to date there has been nothing found
which supports, with total certainty, the applicant's claim.
Attached is a reduction of the master plan, showing a cul-de-sac
terminating S.W. congress Boulevard rather than extension of the
road, which the applicant believes was approved in 1990 and
granted a time extension in April of this year. However, if
this is the master plan that was granted an extension, it
conflicts with the master plan staff presented to the Commission
in the back~p for the time extension and conflicts with the
statements made by the applicant's traffic engineer in the
traffic report that was submitted with the time extension. If
staff's assumptions were incorrect (staff had no reason to
believe that they were incorrect after researching minutes and
files), it would have been appropriate and important to have
raised the issue at the time of the extension (the approval of
which spanned the course of five months between submittal of
extension and Commission approval). As evidenced by the current
staff recommendation against this road omission, had this issue
been raised with the extension, staff's recommendation would have
reflected the same concerns currently expressed.
At best, the June 19, 1990 commission minutes of the master plan
approval (ordinances approved later) state that when the
applicant presented a new master plan to the commission that
staff had never looked at and which showed no S.W. congress
Boulevard connection, Planning Department staff indicated that if
this road was not extended the right-of-way should be dedicated
for future road construction by the City if the need arose. The
proposed master plan does not reflect this either. In fact, the
current proposal shows 14 dwelling units and 23 parking spaces
within this right-of-way for the future road construction. This
leads to the argument that the 192 units previously approved
cannot be accommodated as townhouses within the acreage that was
previously designated for residential use, even with the very
small lot size proposed.

Lastly, clarification is needed regarding staff's recommendation
for construction of turn lanes for this project. Based on the
attached Engineering Division Memorandum No. 95-379, received
after transmittal of the Planning and Zoning Department's staff
report, the following turn lanes are recommended:
1. Southbound left turn lane on Knuth Road into the
project;
2. Southbound left turn lane on Knuth Road at the
intersection of Knuth Road and Woolbright Road; and
3. Northbound right turn lane on Knuth Road into the
project.
RECOMMENDATION: staff's recommendation remains unchanged,
subject to further conditioning any approval of the project with
construction of the above-listed turn lanes.

RE:
TARA OAKS - DBlCBLERATIOIf LARES
We have reviewed the Weisberg September 22 letter and find his
logic reasonable, particularly with regard to the southbound left
turn lane into Tara Oaks from Knuth Road. A right turn
(northbound) lane into Tara Oaks from Knuth Road also is desirable.
Neither has much value until the "link" is constructed, but both
will be desirable at that time.

SUBJECT: Tara Oaks PUD MPMD 95-007 (change in access,
recreation, unit type and use acreage)
NATURE OF REOUEST
Kilday and Associates, agent for Pulte Home Corporation, contract
purchaser of property owned by Bill Winchester is requesting to
modify the Tara Oaks PUD master plan. The 20.16 acre proj ect
previously planned for 192 mUlti-family apartment units, 20,000
square foot (650 seat) church and open space area is zoned PUD and
located at the.northeast corner of Woolbright Road and Knuth Road
extended (see Exhibit "A" - location map). The requested changes
are limited to the north 14.470 acres of the PUD and are as
follows: (see Exhibit "B" - letter of request and proposed master
plan) :
1. Omit the extension of S.W. Congress Boulevard to Knuth
Road.
2. Reduce the number of access pOints into the project from
two (2) to one (1).
3. Increase in the size of Pod 1 (residential tract) by
-tncorporating .6 acres resulting from the elimination of
S. W. Congress Boulevard right-of-way. A new property
line which subdivides Pod 2 (open space) therefore
creating a project that consists of 5.69 acres for church
with open space and 14.7 acres townhouse project with
open space.
4. Change the type of units from 192 mUlti-family apartments
to 23, two-story buildings with a total of 192 townhouse
units. Establish the folloWing building and site
regulations for the townhouse units:
Building setbacks (indiVidual lots); front 10 feet,
rear 15 feet, side (end unit) 3 feet, side
(interior unit) 0 feet. Note minimum bUilding
separation is 15 feet.
Pool setbacks; pools not allowed.
Screen enclosure setbacks; shall comply with
bUilding setbacks.
Minimum living area - 750 square feet (proposed
unit sizes.. 913 square feet, 1,079 square feet and
1,082 square feet)
BUilding height - Remains as originally approved
(30 feet, two stories)
., ."

Lot area - 1,260 square feet (end unit) and 1,050
square feet (interior unit)
Perimeter setbacks: Increase the north setback from
20 feet to 40 feet. Please note the following
setbacks remain as previously approved; 40 foot
front (west Knuth Road), 40 foot rear (east) and 20
foot side (south). Also note the perimeter
setbacks take precedence over building setbacks for
individual lots.
5.
Change the type and location of private recreation
amenities from a clubhouse, pool, jogging trail, picnic
area and fishing dock to pool, cabana (restrooms for
pool), sand volley ball court, jogging trail and gazebo
or garden amenity. The current and proposed location of
the recreation amenities are shown on Exhibit "C" and
Exhibit "B" respectively.

6. Establish a 25 foot wide landscape buffer along the north
property, lS foot wide buffer along the east property
line and 10 foot wide buffer along the west (Knuth Road)
property line of the project. Pod 2 an open space and
detention area border the south property of the
residential tract.
BACKGROUND
On June 21, 1988, the City Commission approved a master plan and
rezoning of the Tara Oaks PUD property from R1AAA (single-family
residential) to PUD with a land use intensity (LUI) of 4.00 for 78
single-family, detached units.
On December 18, 1990, after review by the Department of Community
of Affairs (DCA) and with objections, the City Commission approved
ordinance&---for a land use element amendment that changed the land
use classification of the property from Low Density Residential to
Medium Density Residential and rezoning of the property from PUD
(LUI:4) to PUD (LUI:5) with a master plan for 192 multi-family
uni ts, private recreation and a 20,000 square foot church (see
Exhibit "c" - current master plan). The adopted comprehensive plan
amendment was transmitted to DCA on December 19, 1990, along with
responses to DCA's objections. In February 1991, the DCA issued a
notice of intent to find the comprehensive plan amendment in
compliance.
The 1990 applications were submitted under Palm Beach County's
current traffic performance standards ordinance, however prior to
the effective date of the City's concurrency management ordinance.
Therefore, concurrency certification for traffic and concurrency
exemption for drainage and neighborhood parks were granted with the
1990 approval.
On June 2! 1992, the City Commission approved a request to allow
construct~on of the south portion (adjacent to the church parcel)
of Knuth Road, prior to preliminary plat approval of the property.
The reason for submitting the request was to ensure the Church of
J~su~ Chrlst of Latter Day Saints' purchase of the church parcel
wlthln the PUD, which took place on June 26, 1992.
On Jun~ 16, 1992, the City Commission granted a one (1) year time
extens~on that extended the project's June 18, 1992 expiration date
to June 17, 1993. No application for extensions was made since the
June 1993 expiration, until a retroactive extension which was filed

ln Nov2mber 1;94; 3 perlod of one year and five months.
On April 8, 1993, the City Commission approved a master plan
modiflcation for the Tara Oaks PUD to amend the condition of
approval WhlCh required the construction of Knuth Road to be tied
entirely to the Tara Oaks PUD. The approval of the master plan
modification allowed the construction responsibility for Knuth Road
to be shared by the Knuth Road PCD.
On April 18, 1995 the City Commission approved the retroactive
extension submitted November 1994. The approval granted
months to file a plat application. The approval was
conditioned upon the applicant evaluating reducing density at
of the applicant's next submittal (subject request).

Section 12. Changes in plans.
"Changes in plans approved as a part of the zoning to PUD may
be permitted by the Planning and Zoning Board upon application
filed by the developer or his successors in interest, prior to
the expiration of the PUD classification, but only [after] a
finding that any such change or changes are in accord with all
regulations in effect when the change or changes are requested
and the intent and purpose of the comprehensive plan in effect
at the time of the proposed change. Substantial changes shall
be proposed as for a new application of PUD zoning. The
determination of what constitutes a substantial change shall
be within the sole discretion of the City Commission. Non-
substantial changes as determined by the City Commission in
plans shall not extend the expiration of the eighteen month
approval for the PUD classification."
ANALYSIS
staff has' reviewed this request for consistency with the PUD
development standards, and the intent and purpose of planned unit
developments as stated in the folloWing sections of Chapter 2.5 of
the City's land development regulations:
Section 1. Intent and purpose.
"A Planned Unit Development District (PUD) is established. It
lS intended that this district be utilized to promote
efficient and economical land use, improved amenities,
appropriate and harmonious variety in physical development,
creative design, improved living environment, orderly and
economical development in the City, and the protection of
adj acent and existing and future City development. The
district is suitable for development, redevelopment and
conservation of land, water and other resources of the City.
Regulations for Planned Unit Developments. are intended to
accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulations and
other applicable City regulations to the same degree that they
a~e lntended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis. In
Vlew of the substantial public advantages of planned unit
development, it is the intent of PUD regulations to promote
and encourage development in this form where tracts suitable
ln slze, location and character for the uses and structures
proposed are to be planned and developed as unified and

coordinated units.
Section 9. Internal PUD standards.
B. INTERNAL LOTS AND FRONTAGE. Wi thin the boundaries of the
PUD, no minimum lot size or minimum yards shall be
required; provided, however, that PUD frontage on
dedicated public roads shall observe front yard
requirements in accordance with the zoning district the
PUD use most closely resembles and that peripheral yards
abutting other zoning districts shall be the same as
required in the abutting zone."
The following evaluates the significant issue relating to the
proposed changes:
1.
Omission of the S.W. Congress Boulevard connection to Knuth
Road extended - This change will cause a redistribution of
traffic from the original approved road network. The Police
Department Memorandum No. 0168 indicates that the response
time for emergency vehicles to the subject property as well as
the Clipper Cove and Lakes of Tara development would be
greatly increased if the road connection was' constructed.
,,-
The Lakes of Tara Homeowners Association ha. indicated that
they are not in favor of extending S. W. Congress Boulevard to
Knuth Road extended (see Exhibit "D" - letter dated August 29,
1995 from'. Lakes of Tara Homeowners Association). The
association has also requested some minor improvements to this
area that are normally paid by an applicant as part of
abandonment.
From evaluating the plan, it appears that the change in unit
type from apartments to townhouses and the desire to retain
the 192 units from the approved master plan, as well as offer
a priy-atized community, has driven the elimination of the S.W.
Congress Boulevard extension. The reason for this is that
because of stacking and clustering of units, apartments
(previous master plan) more efficiently use land; yielding a
higher number of units per acre. Uni t types (such as
townhouses) that only cluster units and not stack, require
more land area to yield the same amount of density, even when
both unit types are limited to two stories.
The argument often made of not wanting to extend an existing
road to a new project because of traffic and division of
residential tracts is not applicable to this project since
even with the previous master plan the project's residential
area was consolidated to one side (north) of S.W. Congress
Boulevard. Furthermore, the only traffic that will use S.W.
Congress Boulevard is the traffic generated by this project;
reason being the existence of Quail Ridge to the west and
therefore, the lack of further extension of S. W. Congress
Boulevard west of Knuth Road.
This issue of connectivity of roads to the eXisting road
network ,has been raised frequently over the past five years
due to 1ncreased popularity of privatized communities which
stems from lncreased crime or the perception of increased
Cl-lme. Rarely do applicants and homeowners understand that
wlth privatization, quality of public services (response to
flre, pollce, utility emergencies and evacuations) decreases,
not only to their development, but to surrounding existing and
future developments that benefit from the safety and
Page 5
Agenda Memorandum for

Tara Jaks PUD
MPMD 35-007
convenience of an improved, integrated road network 'I'lithin
their city or county.
In their memorandum the Police Department notes the benefit to
multiple communities when roads are extended. The pre-planned
extension of the existing dead-end of S.W. Congress Boulevard,
was to provide quicker response by police units in the western
area of the city to the houses in the western areas of Lakes
of Tara which at this time only have access from Congress
Avenue. This gives the Pol ice Department the option of
sending a police unit from the east or west, or both if
needed, to best handle an emergency in either the Lakes of
Tara or Tara Oaks developments.
2. Reduction of the number of access pOints into the project from
two (2) to one (1) - Implementing this change would result in
the need for emergency access point ( s) . As indicated in
Police Department Memorandum No. 0168, they have provided
emergency access points along Knuth Road, however, the "Knox
Box" type of entry is not acceptable to the Police Department.
It should be noted that access pOints restricted to emergency
vehicles, rather than prOViding a full access are less than
desirable and can reduce quality of emergency service too.
With the increased popularity of privatized communities the
fewer the access points, the lesser the cost to the developer
and homeowners to secure their access points with guardhouses,
- or the less expensive method of automatic gates. Both Police
and Fire have been accepting these alternative types of
access, provided the type of gate opening mechanism is agreed
upon, realizing that over time, the availability of these
emergency access points can be forgotten about and never used.
3. Increase in the size of Pod 1 (residential tract) by
incorporating the .6 acres of the proposed elimination of S.W.
Congress Boulevard and the subdivision of Pod 2 - These
propo(~d changes are acceptable with the condition that the
subdivision of Pod 2 does not decrease the total area of Pod
2 below the originally approved 3.5 acres and that on the
master plan the acreage breakdown for each parcel/property be
delineated. As was noted previously in issue 1 above, this
increase in Pod 1 size is driven by the omission of the road
extension and the desire to retain the full 192 units.
4. Change the type of units from 192 multi-family apartments to
23, two-story bUildings with a total of 192 townhouse units _
All building and site regulations are acceptable with the
exception of the location of the parking spaces and the size
of the lots. The lots shall be extended to include no less
than two (2) parking spaces on each lot. Find attached
Exhibit "E" - Townhouse Chart, which is a comparison of;
building, pool and screen enclosure setbacks, location of
parking spaces, floor area and lot area of the site subject
request and three other PUD townhouse projects approved by the
City Commission. The applicant is proposing the minimum
number of parking spaces of two per unit, but does not include
them within the boundaries of the lot of the unit. The zoning
code requires that "parking spaces for all dwellings shall be
located on the same lot as the dwell ing to be served". No
ot~er "true" townhouse project in the city, even in a ?UD,
WhlCh generally allows fleXibility with regard to bUilding and
s~te regulations, in eXChange for greater open space, exists
Wl ~hou t parking prov ided wi thin the lot boundar ies . The
bUl~ding Division has lndicated that the city's security
ordlnance would not allow parking spaces to be numbered (in an
.....

attempt to assign spaces to units). The reason for this is so
that it cannot be readily determined whether a homeowner is
home or not. There is much less of a chance of someone else
parking in "your" parklng spaces if they are located
immediately next to your unit and on your property than if the
spaces where located on common areas.
5.
Change the type and location of the recreation amenities from:
clubhouse, pool, jogging trail, picnic area and fishing dock
to pool, cabana (restrooms for pool), sand volley ball court,
jogging trail and gazebo or garden amenity - With respect to
the proposed changes in the location of the amenities, staff
is in agreement with the proposed locations. However as
indicated in the Recreation & Parks Memorandum No. 95-424, the
cabana is not acceptable as a recreation amenity that would
allow the applicant to receive one half credit towards
required recreation fees (one half credit applies to projects
that provide five (5) recreation amenities). Based on 192
dwelling units the full recreation impact fee associated with
the land value of 2.88 acres is required at the time of final
plat. The Recreation & Parks Department strongly recommends
that the applicant provide a clubhouse building which would
allow the applicant to receive one half credit for providing
five (5)' recreation amenities. Providing a clubhouse or
recreation building is consistent with the development of
other cluster housing projects in the City.
.#
6. Establish a 25 foot wide landscape buffer along the north
property, 15 foot wide along the east property line and 10
foot wide along west (Knuth Road) property line of the project
'- The proposed landscape buffer areas are acceptable to staff
with the condition that the buffer area along the east and
west property lines be enhanced to include groupings of trees
(4 to 6 trees) with a spacing between groupings not to exceed
thirty (30) feet rather than one tree every thirty feet. The
spacing. and size of the shrub material identified is
acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION
On Tuesday, September 12, 1995, the Technical Review Committee
(TRC) met to review the master plan modification request. The
Board recommends that the City Commission make a finding of no
substantial change for the proposed modification, and that the
Planning and Development Board approve the request, subject to the
staff exceptions listed above and the attached staff comments
Exhibit "F" - Police Department Memorandum No. 0168 and 0174,
Recreation & Parks Department Memorandum No. 95-424, Public Works
Memorandum No. 95-165, Engineering Division Memorandum Nos. 95-371,
95-349 and 95-304, Building division Memorandum No. 95-348 and 95-
299, Fire Prevention Memorandum No. 95-346 WDC and Planning and
Zoning Department Memorandum No. 95-555. It should be noted
~owever that if the Commission concurs with staff regarding the
lssues of, th~ extension of S.W. congress Boulevard and containing
par~lng wlthln the lot boundaries, the master plan would have to be
revlsed. .These revisions most likely will significantly alter the
master plan.

RE: Tara Oaks PUD
Minor Master Plan Modification
Our File No. 738.2
Dear Ms. Heyden,
Please accept Md process the attached revised information for a Minor Master Plan Modification
to the previou8lv approved Tara Oaks PUD, located north of Woolbright Road and east of the
future Knuth R~ We are submitting this revised Minor Master Plan Modification application
on behalf of Putt. Homes Corporation South Florida Division contract purchasers of the property
and Bill Winchester, owner 0' the prpperty, and incorporating comments received at the August
15, 1995 TAC Meeting.
The latest Master Plan approved on June 8, 1990 reflected a total of 192 multi-family units on the
northern portion of the site, an open space/preservation area centrally located, and a church
parcel on the southern portion 0' this site. The proposed Master Plan retains the 192 previously
approved units which will now be developed as fee simDI4t townhomes. The open
space/preservation tract remains centrally located, and the church parcel remains unchanged on
the southern portion of the site. Attached with this application is a revised Master Site Plan for
the project reflecting proposed building locations and corresponding lot lines, access points, the
recreation area and parking configurations. The Conceptual Landscape Plan specifies proposed
landscape buffers and plant material requirements. A previously approved cross section is also
included with the submittal set. This cross section has been revised to reflect an agreement
made between the Stonehaven Home Owners Association and the property owner The
conceptual engineering plan., a. well a. a boundary and tree survey, are also attached.
The perimeter landscape buffer and the building setbacks proposed are consistent with those
previously approved. Minor adjustments have been made to the main access for the PUD. The
church parcel, which is under separate ownership, will retain the two previously approved. ~ccess
points. The previously approved plan reflected two main access points to the residential ~.rcel.
This has been reduced to one main access point which will be controlled with a security late.
Three emergency access locations are proposed elsewhere along Knuth Road. These access
Ms. Tambri Heyden
August 31, 1995
Page 2
points will be stabilized to support the weight of emergency vehicles. They also will be gated
and locked pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue requirements. The developer of
Tara Oaks will be constructing Knuth Road from just north of the L-25 Canal south to Woolbright
Road including the required crossings over both the L-25 and L-26 Canals. Concurrent with this
roadway construction, an eight foot wide bike path will also be constructed on the east side of
Knuth Road adjacent to Tara Oaks PUD.
A private recreation site of 1.75 acres is provided for Tara Oaks PUD. The active portion of the
recreation area is provided adjacent to the main entry. This recreation area has been relocated
from the site shown on the previously approved Master Plan to address conditions imposed on
the original approval. A pastve recreation component consistent with that previously approved
is shown in the open space tract and will consiat of a jogging tran through the
preservation/relocation area and a gazebo or garden amenity at its terminus. A total of five (5)
recreational amenities are proposed to receive one half credit for the public recreation land
dedication. Consistent with the past approval and the comments again Included in Parks and
Recreation Memorandum #90-229, the developer will pay a fee in lieu of land dedication for the
public park commitment.

Re: Tara Oaks Gopher Tortoise Relocation
Dear Mr., Haag:
, Approximately 55-60 gopher tortoises (Goplterus polyphemus) are predicted to occur
on the Tara Oaks parcel. This estimated figure was determined using the burrow survey data
and data resuldnl from burrow investigation \"ith an infrared video camera. The site has
been significaritfylmpacted by prior land usage and clearing activities. These activities ha\e
significantly degraded the available gopher tortoise habitat on the parcel.
,
The Tara Oaks parcel comprises +24 al.:rcc;, Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish
Commission (FGFWFC) studies indicate lhal (llll.: ~l)pIH.:r lortoise rcqllir~o; olll.:-half (O,;l ;\...r~'
of suitable habitat for long term survival. .\ppr\l\ Ill1<llely 30 acres of l'plIl11al habitat \\ ('lLdd
be required to support the predicted Tara Oa\.;~ gopher tortoise population. Currently, th~
parcel supports a population density in excess of this recommended density and. as such,
on-site preservation is not a viable option dut: to [11~ presence of insufficielll. low quality
habitat on the Tara Oaks parcel.
C&N recommends off-site relocation of the emire population to a large. regional
gopher tortoise re-stocking area. Mr. Tom Slice (FGFWFC) concurs with the survey
findings and the need to accommodate the lortoises through off-site relocation (telephone
conversation August 21. 1995).
An off-site relocation plan is being prepared for submittal to the FGFWFC. Upon
authorization of the off-site relocation permIt. the lortoises will be captured and relocated to
the designated recipient site.
The listed flora and fauna survey also identified three scrub mint (Conradina
grandiflora) plants which are slated to be relocated to the proposed on-site preservation area,
No other state or federally listed floral or faunal species were observed on the Tara Oaks
parcel.
.--:- ~
'..,r
The off-site gopher tortoise relocation permit issued by FGFWFC will not alter the
Tara Oaks Master Plan or Site Plan as sho\l,,'ll in order to comply with the permit
requirements, nor will the proposed tree relocation plan.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely.

PLANNING AND
ZONING J€PT.
Dear Ms. Heyden:
In following the newspaper articles in regards to the Tara Oaks project and furthermore to a
telephone conversation that you and I have had in April on the subject, we the residents of Tara
Lakes are pleased that the .City of BoYnlDn Beach- has Mapproved. the extension of Knuth Aoad
through to Woolbright Rd.
In addition, we are pleased to Ieam that 1here are no longer plans to access the new community
from Southwest Congress Blvd. With this in mind, the community of Tara Lakes wishes to ask
that the City of Boynton Beach 'emporadly- annex the smaH extension of road that goes beyond
Tara l..akea Drive West to the Tara l.ake8 HOA. In addition, a dead end balricade and caution
sign would need to be placed in that position where the road presently ends by the City of
, Boynton leach to prohibit illegal vehide traffic and dumping if this annex is allowed.
..
In regardI to this matter, Tara Lakes HOA would like to place a basketball hoop in the Mpro_
posecr ...' for the residents of our community to enjoy. As the paved extension of road exists,
there would be minimum coat to both Tara Lakes and City of Boynton Beach to allow for such
structure. In addition, the 'emfJOrary- annex could be removed at a later date if the decision
was made to connect Southweat Cong,.... to Knuth Ad or other extenaion.
As the surfacing is already prepared it 'M)uld be a shame to see this property tom up when it
could be used for real community activity. Our plan would make the extension a small park.
Possibly a small ficus hedge would be added to give the area some needed aesthetic look also.
Please consider our request and advise if you think this is possible. I can be contacted at my
office at (407) 997-2299 during normal business hours or at my home in the evening at (407)
737-9173. We are prepared to contact the .City CommissionM or other official if necessary.
In conclusion, thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
(' t . ,..

RE:
DATE:
Sept~ber IS, 1995
The Recreation & Park Departmeot bas reviewed the masterplan mOdification (2nd review) for Tara
Oaks PUD. The following comments are submitted:
I. The de\oeIoper appears to have addressed all comments in Recreation & Park memorandwn
#95-379 with the exception of #2 concerning the provision of a clubhouse/meeting room
whicb is still shown as a cabana.
2. A cabau. is not considered a separate recreation amenity but is considered a part of the
swimming pool. This department feels strongly that a recreation center building
(clubbouselmeeting room) is ~ essential part of the complete private recreation package for
this type residential development.
3. Representatives for the developer have indicated their willingness to provide a different 5th
private recreation element but not a recreation center/meeting room. We would DQl
recommend this as an acceptable alternative.
4. At this time, the Recreation and Park D~artment cannot recommend one-half credit for
private recreation provided.
5. Based on 192 D.U. X .0150 acres = 2.88 acres recreation impact fee. Since the developer
is not recornrneoded for one-half credit, the full 2.88 acres fee is required at the time of final
plat.

RE:
TARA'OAK8 - TRAFFIC 8IORAL
As you know, Mr. Weisberg has informally reported that future
traffic at the intersection of Woolbright Road and Knuth Road is
not projected to warrant installation of a traffic signal at that
location. He suggests that it is possible for the City to require
the developer of Tara Oaks to escrow the cost of such a signal
($35,000%) to cover installation up to two years beyond development
substantial completion and subject to traffic counts at that time.
If the signal is not then warranted, the escrow payment would be
returnedtQ.the developer.
It is my opinion that traffic projections from Tara Oaks are so
light that the likeliho~d of a signal being required in the future
is minimal. If Knuth Road is constructed through to Boynton Beach
Boulevard, additional traffic would be generated at
Woolbright/Knuth. That may be pretty much offset by the reduction
in traffic to/from Tara Oaks since residents and visitors will have
the option of going either north or south on Knuth Road.
If the Commission wish.. to mak- the ..crow .rr.ng.m.nt d..erlbed
herein a condition of approval of Tara Oaks, we have no objection.

RE:
We have today first seen the September 12 traffic study for Tara
Oaks. The two significant requirements contained therein are a
right turn lane in at the project entrance and a southbound to
eastbound left turn lane at the Knuth Road/Woolbright Road
intersection.
Normally additional conditions would not be placed on an
application this late, but clearly it was the applicant's
delinquent 8ubmission of the traffic study which made it impossible

SECURITY GATES AND EMERGENCY ACCESS:
I
The Fire Department continues to have the opinion that
security gates are detrimental to Fire and Rescue operations.
The minimum performance for security gates is as follows:
1- Gates shall be openable by telephone, with a call from
central Dispatch center.
2- when the gate is opened by the call from central
Dispatch, it shall remain open until the emergency is over;
at which time central Dispatch will be told, by Officer in
charge, to close the gate.
3- In case of a power failure the gate shall open
autoaatically.
4- Appropriate "Hold Harmless" agreement re: damage to
9.~.. equipment, etc.

Dear Ms. Heyden:
Per Mike Haag's request, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the
traffic 1.,.ct study for the project entitled Tara Oaks, pursuant to the Traffic
Perfonlance Standards in Article 7.9 of the Pal. Beach County Land Development
Code. The,,,oposed project will consist of 192 .u1t1-fa.ily residential dwelling
units and 1.20,000 square foot church. The study reports this site to be
previously approved for 77 sing1e-fallily dwelling units. The traffic study
addresses the increase in tr,ffic from the proposed project, minus the approved
project. The access points are all on Knuth Road. The build-out for the project
is 1999.
The traffic study addresses the traffic from a church only. We have been seeing
many of the larger churches are being built with day school and day care
facilities. If the project has these uses, the traffic from these uses also
needs to be addressed.
The Traffic D1vision has determined that the project meets the requirements 0'
the Traffic Performlnce Standards 0' Pal. Beach County. If you have any
questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.
Yvonne Ziel's letter reconnends a right turn lane on Knuth Road, at the
residential driveway, if Knuth Road is not extended to the north. While the
projected peak hour traffic volumes meet the County minimum requirements for a
right turn lane, there appears to be a flaw in the logic.
Right turn lanes are needed to remove slower turning traffic from the through
traffic flow. If Knuth Road is not extended north, there is no through traffic.
The right turn lane would serve no purpose. When knuth Road is extended to the
north, the traffic would probably be oriented more to the north. There would be
a need for a left turn lane at the residential driveway. There appears to be
only a short section of Knuth Road missing north of this project. It seems
logical to make the connection to the north in conjunction with this development.
Otherwise there will be a missing section of roadway in a fully developed area.

Agenda Memorandum for
October 17, 1995 City Commission Meeting
TO:
Carrie Parker
City Manager
Tambri J. Heyden -~
Planning and Zoning Director
FROM:
DATE:
october 13, 1995
SUBJECT:
Tara Oaks PUD - MPMD #95-007
(Change in access, recreation, unit type and use
acreage)
Please be advised that the above-referenced item is on the table
for the October 17, 1995 commission meeting agenda.
DESCRIPTION: A detailed description of this request is presented
in Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum No. 95-541. You
will recall that at the last Commission meeting the applicant
requested that the Commission table this item to the October 17th
meeting. You will further recall that the reason for the request
to table was to allow time for the applicant to substantiate his
claim that the description of his request in the above-referenced
report, specifically to omit the extension of S.W. Congress
Boulevard to Knuth Road, was in error based on his belief that
the omission of this road was approved with the 1990 rezoning/
master plan for Tara Oaks.
Today the applicant plans to further research this issue by
viewing the files of the Planning and Zoning, Engineering and
utilities Departments, since to date there has been nothing found
which supports, with total certainty, the applicant's claim.
Attached is a reduction of the master plan, showing a cul-de-sac
terminating S.W. Congress Boulevard rather than extension of the
road, which the applicant believes was approved in 1990 and
granted a time extension in April of this year. However, if
this is the master plan that was granted an extension, it
conflicts with the master plan staff presented to the Commission
in the backup for the time extension and conflicts with the
statements made by the applicant's traffic engineer in the
traffic report that was submitted with the time extension. If
staff's assumptions were incorrect (staff had no reason to
believe that they were incorrect after researching minutes and
files), it would have been appropriate and important to have
raised the issue at the time of the extension (the approval of
which spanned the course of five months between submittal of
extension and Commission approval). As evidenced by the current
staff recommendation against this road omission, had this issue
been raised with the extension, staff's recommendation would have
reflected the same concerns currently expressed.
At best, the June 19/ 1990 Commission minutes of the master plan
approval (ordinances approved later) state that when the
applicant presented a new master plan to the commission that
staff had never looked at and which showed no S.W. Congress
Boulevard connection, Planning Department staff indicated that if
this road was not extended1the right-of-way should be dedicated
for future road construction by the City if the need arose. The
proposed master~~an does not reflect this either. In fact, the
current propos~hows 14 dwelling units and 23 parking spaces
within this right-of-way for the future road construction. This
leads to the argument that the 192 units previously approved
cannot be accommodated a~ownhous~ithin the acreage that was
previously designated for residential use, even with the very
small lot size proposed.
TO: Carrie Parker
-2-
October 13, 1995
Lastly, clarification is needed regarding staff's recommendation
for construction of turn lanes for this project. Based on the
attached Engineering Division Memorandum No. 95-379, received
after transmittal of the Planning and Zoning Department's staff
report, the following turn lanes are recommended:
1. Southbound left turn lane on Knuth Road into the
proj ect;
2. Southbound left turn lane on Knuth Road at the
intersection of Knuth Road and Woolbright Road; and
3. Northbound right turn lane on Knuth Road into the
project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff's recommendation remains unchanged,
subject to further conditioning any approval of the project with
construction of the above-listed turn lanes.

RE:
TARA OAKS - DBCELERATIOR LANES
We have reviewed the Weisberg September 22 letter and find his
logic reasonable, particularly with regard to the southbound left
turn lane into Tara Oaks from Knuth Road. A right turn
(northbound) lane into Tara Oaks from Knuth Road also is desirable.
Neither has much value until the "link" is constructed, but both
will be desirable at that time.

On June 21, 1988, the City Commission approved a master plan and
rezoning of the Tara Oaks PUD property from R1AAA (single-family
residential) to PUD with a land use intensity (LUI) of 4.00 for 78
single-family, detached units.
On December 18, 1990, after review by the Department of Community
of Affairs (DCA) and with objections, the City Commission approved
ordinances for a land use element amendment that changed the land
use classification of the property from Low Density Residential to
Medium Density Residential and rezoning of the property from PUD
(LUI:4) to PUD (LUI:5) with a master plan for 192 mUlti-family
uni ts, private recreation and a 20,000 square foot church (see
Exhibit "C" - current master plan). The adopted comprehensive plan
amendment was transmitted to DCA on December 19, 1990, along with
responses to DCA's objections. In February 1991, the DCA issued a
notice of intent to find the comprehensive plan amendment in
compliance.
The 1990 applications were submitted under Palm Beach County's
current traffic performance standards ordinance, however prior to
the effective date of the City's concurrency management ordinance.
Therefore, concurrency certification for traffic and concurrency
exemption for drainage and neighborhood parks were granted with the
1990 approval.
On June 2, 1992, the City Commission approved a request to allow
construction of the south portion (adjacent to the church parcel)
of Knuth Road, prior to preliminary plat approval of the property.
The reason for submitting the request was to ensure the Church of
J~su~ Christ of Latter Day Saints' purchase of the church parcel
wlthln the PUD, which took place on June 26, 1992.
On June 16, 1992, the City Commission granted a one (1) year time
extenSIon that extended the project's June 18, 1992 expiration date
to June 17, 1993. No application for extensions was made since the
June 1993 expiration, until a retroactive extension which was filed

in November 1994; 3 period of one year and five months.
On AP1-il 8, 1993, the City Commission approved a master plan
modiflcation for the Tara Oaks PUD to amend the condition of
approval WhlCh required the construction of Knuth Road to be tied
entirely to the Tara Oaks PUD. The approval of the master plan
illodification allowed the construction responsibility for Knuth Road
to be shared by the Knuth Road PCD.
On April 18, 1995 the City Commission approved the retroactive
extension submitted November 1994. The approval granted
months to file a plat application. The approval was
conditioned upon the applicant evaluating reducing density at
of the applicant's next submittal (subject request).

ANALYSIS
staff has reviewed this request for consistency with the PUD
development standards, and the intent and purpose of planned unit
developments as stated in the following sections of Chapter 2.5 of
the City's land development regulations:
Section 1. Intent and purpose.
11 A Planned Uni t Development District (PUD) is established. It
lS intended that this district be utilized to promote
efficient and economical land use, improved amenities,
appropriate and harmonious variety in physical development,
creative design, improved living environment, orderly and
economical development in the City, and the protection of
adj acent and existing and future City development. The
district is suitable for development, redevelopment and
conservation of land, water and other resources of the City.
Regulations for Planned Unit Developments are intended to
accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulations and
other applicable City regulations to the same degree that they
a~e lntended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis. In
Vlew of the substantial public advantages of planned unit
development, it is the intent of PUD regulations to promote
and encourage development in this form where tracts suitable
ln Slze, location and character for the uses and structures
proposed are to be planned and developed as unified and
'Wf

coordinated units.
Section 9. Internal PUD standards.
B. INTERNAL LOTS AND FRONTAGE. Within the boundaries of the
PUD, no minimum lot size or minimum yards shall be
required; provided, however, that PUD frontage on
dedicated publi: roads shall observe front yard
requirements in accordance with the zoning district the
PUD use most closely resembles and that peripheral yards
abutting other zoning districts shall be the same as
required in the abutting zone."
The following evaluates the significant issue relating to the
proposed changes:
1.
Omission of the S.W. Congress Boulevard connection to Knuth
Road extended - This change will cause a redistribution of
traffic from the original approved road network. The Police
Department Memorandum No. 0168 indicates that the response
time for emergency vehicles to the subject property as well as
the Clipper Cove and Lakes of Tara development would be
greatly increased if the road connection was' constructed.
II
The Lakes of Tara Homeowners Association has indicated that
they are not in favor of extending S. W. Congress Boulevard to
Knuth Road extended (see Exhibit liD" - letter dated August 29,
1995 from "Lakes of Tara Homeowners Association). The
association has also requested some minor improvements to this
area that are normally paid by an applicant as part of
abandonment.
From evaluating the plan, it appears that the change in unit
type from apartments to townhouses and the desire to retain
the 192 units from the approved master plan, as well as offer
a privatized community, has driven the elimination of the S.W.
Congress Boulevard extension. The reason for this is that
because of stacking and clustering of units, apartments
(previous master plan) more efficiently use landi yielding a
higher number of units per acre. Uni t types ( such as
townhouses) that only cluster units and not stack, require
more land area to yield the same amount of density, even when
both unit types are limited to two stories.
The argument often made of not wanting to extend an eXisting
road to a new project because of traffic and division of
residential tracts is not applicable to this project since
even with the previous master plan the project's residential
area was consolidated to one side (north) of S.W. Congress
Boulevard. Furthermore, the only traffic that will use S.W.
Congress Boulevard is the traffic generated by this project;
reason being the existence of Quail Ridge to the west and
therefore, the lack of further extension of S. W. Congress
Boulevard west of Knuth Road.
This issue of connecti vi ty of roads to the eXisting road
network has been raised frequently over the past five years
due to increased popularity of privatized communities which
st~ms from increased crime or the perception of increased
cn.me. Rarely do applicants and homeowners understand that
w~th priv~tization, quality of public services (response to
flre, pollce, utility emergencies and evacuations) decreases,
not only to their development, but to surrounding existing and
future developments that benefit from the safety and

MPMD 95-007
convenience of an improved, integrated road network wi thin
their city or county.
In their memorandum the Police Department notes the benefit to
multiple communities when roads are extended. The pre-planned
extension of the existing dead-end of S.W. Congress Boulevard
was to provide quicker response by police units in the western
area of the city to the houses in the western areas of Lakes
of Tara which at this time only have access from Congress
Avenue. This gives the Police Department the option of
sending a police unit from the east or west, or both if
needed, to best handle an emergency in either the Lakes of
Tara or Tara Oaks developments.
2. Reduction of the number of access points into the project from
two (2) to one (1) - Implementing this change would result in
the need for emergency access point (s) . As indicated in
Police Department Memorandum No. 0168, they have provided
emergency access points along Knuth Road, however, the "Knox
Box" type of entry is not acceptable to the Police Department.
It should be noted that access points restricted to emergency
vehicles, rather than providing a full access are less than
desirable and can reduce quality of emergency service too.
With the increased popularity of privatized communities the
fewer the access points, the lesser the cost to the developer
and homeowners to secure their access points with guardhouses,
or the less expensive method of automatic gates. Both Police
and Fire have been accepting these alternative types of
access, provided the type of gate opening mechanism is agreed
upon, realizing that over time, the availability of these
emergency access points can be forgotten about and never used.
3. Increase in the size of Pod 1 (residential tract) by
incorporating the .6 acres of the proposed elimination of S.W.
Congress Boulevard and the subdivision of Pod 2 - These
proposed changes are acceptable with the condition that the
subdivision of Pod 2 does not decrease the total area of Pod
2 below the originally approved 3.5 acres and that on the
master plan the acreage breakdown for each parcel/property be
delineated. As was noted previously in issue 1 above, this
increase in Pod 1 size is driven by the omission of the road
extension and the desire to retain the full 192 units.
4. Change the type of units from 192 mUlti-family apartments to
23, two-story bUildings with a total of 192 townhouse units _
All bUilding and site regulations are acceptable wi th the
exception of the location of the parking spaces and the size
of the lots. The lots shall be extended to include no less
than two (2) parking spaces on each lot. Find attached
Exhibi t "E" - Townhouse Chart, which is a comparison of;
building, pool and screen enclosure setbacks, location of
parking spaces, floor area and lot area of the site subject
request and three other PUD townhouse projects approved by th
Ci ty Commission. The applicant is proposing the minimum
number of parking spaces of two per unit, but does not include
them within the boundaries of the lot of the unit. The zoning
code requires that "parking spaces for all dwellings shall be
located on the same lot as the dwelling to be served". No
ot~er "true" townhouse proj ect in the ci ty, even in a PUD,
WhlCh generally allows flexibility with regard to bUilding and
s~te regulations, in exchange for greater open space, exists
Wl ~hout parking provided wi thin the lot boundaries. The
bUl~dlng Division has indicated that the city's security
ordlnance would not allow parking spaces to be numbered (in an
.,.
...,

Agenda Memorandum for

MPMD 95-007
attempt to assign spaces to units). The reason for this is so
that it cannot be readily determined whether a homeowner is
home or not. There is much less of a chance of someone else
parking in "your" pal'king spaces if they are located
immediately next to your unit and on your property than if the
spaces where located on common areas.
5.
change the type and location of the recreation amenities from:
clubhouse, pool, jogging trail, picnic area and fishing dock
to pool, cabana (restrooms for pool), sand volley ball court,
jogging trail and gazebo or garden amenity - with respect to
the proposed changes in the location of the amenities, staff
is in agreement with the proposed locations. However as
indicated in the Recreation & Parks Memorandum No. 95-424, the
cabana is not acceptable as a recreation amenity that would
allow the applicant to receive one half credit towards
required recreation fees (one half credit applies to projects
that provide five (5) recreation amenities). Based on 192
dwelling units the full recreation impact fee associated with
the land value of 2.88 acres is required at the time of final
plat. The Recreation & Parks Department strongly recommends
that the applicant provide a clubhouse building which would
allow the applicant to receive one half credit for providing
five (5 ) recreation amenities. Providing a clubhouse or
recreation building is consistent with the development of
other cluster housing projects in the City.
,
6. Establish a 25 foot wide landscape buffer along the north
property, 15 foot wide along the east property line and 10
foot wide along west (Knuth Road) property line of the project
~ The proposed landscape buffer areas are acceptable to staff
with the condition that the buffer area along the east and
west property lines be enhanced to include groupings of trees
(4 to 6 trees) with a spacing between groupings not to exceed
thirty (30) feet rather than one tree every thirty feet. The
spacing and size of the shrub material identified is
acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION
On Tuesday, September 12, 1995, the Technical Review Committee
(TRC) met to review the master plan modification request. The
Board recommends that the city Commission make a finding of no
substantial change for the proposed modif ication, and that the
Planning and Development Board approve the request, subject to the
staff exceptions listed above and the attached staff comments
Exhibit "F" Police Department Memorandum No. 0168 and 0174,
Recreation & Parks Department Memorandum No. 95-424, Public Works
Memorandum No. 95-165, Engineering Division Memorandum Nos. 95-371,
95-349 and 95-304, Building division Memorandum No. 95-348 and 95-
299, Fire Prevention Memorandum No. 95-346 WDC and Planning and
Zoning Department Memorandum No. 95-555. It should be noted
~owever that if the Commission concurs with staff regarding the
lSSU~S of, th~ extension of S.W. congress Boulevard and containing
par~lng wlthln the lot boundaries, the master plan would have to be
revlsed. These revisions most likely will significantly alter the
master plan.

RE: Tara Oaks PUD
Minor Master Plan Modification
Our File No. 738.2
Dear Ms. Heyden,
Please accept and process the attached revised information for a Minor Master Plan Modification
to the previously approved Tara Oaks PUD, located north of Woolbright Road and east of the
future Knuth Road. We are submitting this revised Minor Master Plan Modification application
on behalf of Pulte Homes Corporation South Florida Division contract purchasers of the property
and Bill Winchester, owner of the prpperty, and incorporating comments received at the August
15, 1995 TRC Meeting.
The latest Master Plan approved on June 8, 1990 reflected a total of 192 multl.family units on the
northern portion of the site, an open space/preservation area centrally located, and a church
parcel on the southern portion of this site, The proposed Master Plan retains the 192 previously
approved units which will now be developed as fee simole townhomes. The open
space/preservation tract remains centrally located, and the church parcel remains unchanged on
the southern portion of the site. Attached with this application is a revised Master Site Plan for
the project reflecting proposed building locations and corresponding lot lines, access points, the
recreation area and parking configurations. The Conceptual Landscape Plan specifies proposed
landscape buffers and plant material requirements. A previously approved cross section is also
included with the submittal set. This cross section has been revised to reflect an agreement
made between the Stonehaven Home Owners Association and the property owner The
conceptual engineering plans, as well as a boundary and tr.e survey, are also attached.
The perimeter landscape buffer and the building setbacks proposed are consistent with those
previously approved. Minor adjustments have been made to the main access for the PUD, The
church parcel, which is under separate ownership, will retain the two previously approved, ~ccess
points, The previously approved plan reflected two main access points to the residential ~.rcel.
This has been reduced to one main access point which will be controlled with a security \ate,
Three emergency access locations are proposed elsewhere along Knuth Road. These access

points will be stabilized to support the weight of emergency vehicles. They also will be gated
and locked pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue requirements. The developer of
Tara Oaks will be constructing Knuth Road from just north of the L-25 Canal south to Woolbright
Road including the required crossings over both the L-25 and L-26 Canals. Concurrent with this
roadway construction, an eight foot wide bike path will also be constructed on the east side ot
Knuth Road adjacent to Tara Oaks PUD.
A private recreation site of 1.75 acres is provided for Tara Oaks PUD. The active portion of the
recreation area is provided adjacent to the main entry. This recreation area has been relocated
from the site shown on the previously approved Master Plan to address conditions imposed on
the original approval. A passive recreation component consistent with that previously approved
is shown in the open space tract and will consist of a jogging trail through the
preservation/relocation area and a gazebo or garden amenity at its terminus. A total of five (5}
recreational amenities are proposed to receive one half credit for the public recreation land
dedication. Consistent with the past approval and the comments again Included in Parks and
Recreation Memorandum #90-229, the developer will pay a fee in lieu of land dedication for the
public park commitment.
The attached plana have been revised addressing those issues raised at the TRC meeting of
August 15, 1995, and subsequent items included in the TRC comment memorandums Issued by

Re: Tara Oaks Gopher Tortoise Relocation
Dear Mr: Haag:
Approximately 55-60 gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are predicted to occur
on the Tara Oaks parcel. This estimated figure was determined using the burrow survey data
and data resulting from burrow investigation with an infrared video camera. The site has
been significantly impacted by prior land usage and clearing activities. These activities ha\e
significantly degraded the available gopher tortoise habitat on the parcel.
,
The Tara Oaks parcel comprises + 24 acres, Florida Game and fresh Water Fish
Commission (FGFWFC) studies indicate tllat \lllC ~()pllcr tortoise reqllir~<; ()ll~-half (0,)) ;l,:r,'
of suitable habitat for long term survival. ,\ppn1\ll11ately 30 acres of t)plIlllal habitat \~('I11ld
be required to support the predicted Tara Oal\<; gopller tortoise population, Currently, tile
parcel supports a population density in excess of tllis recommended density and. as such,
on-site preservation is not a viable option du~ to th~ presence of insufficient. low quality
habitat on the Tara Oaks parcel.
C&N recommends off-site relocation of the entire population to a large, regional
gopher tortoise re-stocking area. Mr. Tom Stice (FGFWFC) concurs with the survey
findings and the need to accommodate the tortoises through oft--site relocation (telephone
conversation August 21, 1995).
An off-site relocation plan is being prepared for submittal to the FGFWFC, Upon
authorization of the off-site relocation permit. the tortoises will be captured and relocated to
the designated recipient site.
The listed flora and fauna survey also identified three scrub mint (Conradina
grandiflora) plants which are slated to be relocated to the proposed on-site preservation area,
No ocher scate or federally listed floral or faunal species were observed on the Tara Oaks
parcel.
.-::.- ~
.....
The off-site gopher tortoise relocation permit issued by FGFWFC will not alter the
Tara Oaks Master Plan or Site Plan as shmvn ill order to comply with the permit
requirements, nor will the proposed tree relocation plan.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely.

Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310
PLANNING AND "
ZONiNG J~Pl ..!
Dear Ms. Heyden:
In following the newspaper articles in regards to the Tara Oaks project and furthermore to a
telephone conversation that you and I have had in April on the subject, we the residents of Tara
Lakes are pleased that the "City of Boynton Beach" has "approved" the extension of Knuth Road
through to Woolbright Rd.
In addition, we are pleased to leam that there are no longer plans to access the new community
from Southwest Congress Blvd. With this in mind, the community of Tara Lakes wishes to ask
that the City of Boynton Beach "temporarily" annex the small extension of road that goes beyond
Tara Lakes Drive West to the Tara Lakes HOA. In addition, a dead end barricade and caution
sign would need to be placed in that position where the road presently ends by the City of
. Boynton Beach to prohibit illegal vehicle traffic and dumping if this annex is allowed.
,
In regards to this matter, Tara Lakes HOA would like to place a basketball hoop in the "pro-
posed" area for the residents of our community to enjoy. As the paved extension of road exists,
there would be minimum cost to both Tara Lakes and City of Boynton Beach to allow for such
structure. In addition, the "temporary" annex could be removed at a later elate if the decision
was made to connect Southwest Congre.. to Knuth Ad or other extension.
As the surfacing is already prepared it would be a shame to see this property tom up when it
could be used for real community activity. Our plan would make the extension a small park.
Possibly a small ficus hedge would be added to give the area some needed aesthetic look also.
Please consider our request and advise if you think this is possible. I can be contacted at my
office at (407) 997-2299 during normal business hours or at my home in the evening at (407)
737-9173. We are prepared to contact the 'City Commission" or other official if necessary.
In conclusion, thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely, ,
(' l' i "1

RE:
DATE:
September 18, 1995
The Recreation & Park Department has reviewed the masterplan modification (2nd review) for Tara
Oaks PDD. The following comments are submitted:
1. The developer appears to have addressed all comments in Recreation & Park memorandwn
#95-379 with the exception of #2 concerning the provision of a clubhouse/meeting room
which is still shown as a cabana.
2. A cabana is not considered a separate recreation amenity but is considered a part of the
swimming pool. This department feels strongly that a recreation center building
(clubhouse/meeting room) is 3D essential part of the complete private recreation package for
this type residential development.
3. Representatives for the developer have indicated their willingness to provide a different 5th
private recreation element but not a recreation center/meeting room. We would IlQ1
recommend this as an acceptable alternative.
4. At this time, the Recreation and Park Dc:partment cannot recommend one-half credit for

TARA' OAKS - TRAFFIC SIGNAL
I
FROM:
DATE:
RE:
As you know, Mr. Weisberg has informally reported that future
traffic at the intersection of Woolbright Road and Knuth Road is
not projected to warrant installation of a traffic signal at that
location. He suggests that it is possible for the City to require
the developer of Tara Oaks to escrow the cost of such a signal
($35,000~) to cover installation up to two years beyond development
substantial completion and subject to traffic counts at that time.
If the signal is not then warranted, the escrow payment would be
returned to the developer.
It is my opinion that traffic projections from Tara Oaks are so
light that the likelihood of a signal being required in the future
is minimal. If Knuth Road is constructed through to Boynton Beach
Boulevard, additional traffic would be generated at
Woolbright/Knuth. That may be pretty much offset by the reduction
in traffic to/from Tara Oaks since residents and visitors will have
the option of going either north or south on Knuth Road.
If the Commission wish.. to make the ..crow .rr.ng.ment d..eribed
herein a condition of approval of Tara Oaks, we have no objection.

TARA OAKS - TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
We have today first seen the September 12 traffic study for Tara
Oaks. The two significant requirements contained therein are a
right turn lane in at the project entrance and a southbound to
eastbound left turn lane at the Knuth Road/Woolbright Road
intersection.
Normally additional conditions would not be placed on an
application this late, but clearly it was the applicant's
delinquent submission of the traffic study which made it impossible
to respond earlier.

security gates are detrimental to Fire and Rescue operations.
The minimum performance for security gates is as follows:
1- Gates shall be openable by telephone, with a call from
central Dispatch Center.
2- when the gate is opened by the call from central
Dispatch, it shall remain open until the emergency is over;
at which time central Dispatch will be told, by officer in
charge, to close the gate.
3- In case of a power failure the gate shall open
automatically.

Dear Ms. Heyden:
Per Mike Haag's request, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the
traffic impact study for the project entitled Tara Oaks, pursuant to the Traffic
Performance Standards in Article 7.9 of the Palm Beach County Land Development
Code. The proposed project will consist of 192 multi-family residential dwelling
units and a 20,000 square foot church. The study reports this site to be
previously approved for 77 single-family dwelling units. The traffic study
addresses the increase in tr,ffic from the proposed project, minus the approved
project. The access points are all on Knuth Road. The build-out for the project
is 1999.
The traffic study addresses the traffic from a church only. We have been seeing
many of the larger churches are being built with day school and day care
facilities. If the project has these uses, the traffic from these uses also
needs to be addressed.
The Traffic Division has determined that the project meets the rlquirements of
the Traffic Performancl Stand.rds of Palm Beach County. If you have any
questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.
Yvonne Zie1's letter recoRlllends a right turn lane on Knuth Road, at the
residential driveway, if Knuth Road is not extended to the north. While the
projected peak hour traffic volumes meet the County minimum requirements for a
right turn lane, there appears to be a flaw in the logic.
Right turn lanes are needed to remove slower turning traffic from the through
traffic flow. If Knuth Road is not extended north, there is no through traffic.
The right turn lane would serve no purpose. When knuth Road is extended to the
north, the traffic would probably be oriented more to the north. There would be
a need for a left turn lane at the residential driveway. There appears to be
on 1 y a short sect i on of Knuth Road miss i n9 north of th is project. I t seems
logical to make the connection to the north in conjunction with this development.
Otherwise there will be a missing section of roadway in a fully developed area.

BACKGROUND
On June 21, 1988, the City Commission approved a master plan and
rezoning of the Tara Oaks PUD property from R1AAA (single-family
residential) to PUD with a land use intensity (LUI) of 4.00 for 78
single-family, detached units.
On December 18, 1990, after review by the Department of Community
of Affairs (DCA) and with objections, the City Commission approved
ordinances for a land use element amendment that changed the land
use classification of the property from Low Density Residential to
Medium Density Residential and rezoning of the property from PUD
(LUI:4) to PUD (LUI:5) with a master plan for 192 multi-family
uni ts, private recreation and a 20,000 square foot church (see
Exhibit "cn - current master plan). The adopted comprehensive plan
amendment was transmitted to DCA on December 19, 1990, along with
responses to DCA's objections. In February 1991, the DCA issued a
notice of intent to find the comprehensive plan amendment in
compliance.
The 1990 applications were submitted under Palm Beach County's
current traffic performance standards ordinance, however prior to
the effective date of the City's concurrency management ordinance.
Therefore, concurrency certification for traffic and concurrency
exemption for drainage and neighborhood parks were granted with the
1990 approval.
On June 2, 1992, the city Commission approved a request to allow
construction of the south portion (adjacent to the church parcel)
of Knuth Road, prior to preliminary plat approval of the property.
The reason for submitting the request was to ensure the Church of
J~SU~ Christ of Latter Day Saints' purchase of the church parcel
wIthIn the PUD, which took place on June 26, 1992.
On June 16, 1992, the City Commission granted a one (1) year time
extensIon that extended the project's June 18, 1992 expiration date
to June 17, 1993. No application for extensions was made since the
June 1993 expiration, until a retroactive extension which was filed
Page 3
Agenda Memorandum for

Tara Oaks PUD
MPMD 95-007
in November 1994; a period of one year and five months.
On April 8, 1993, the City Commission approved a master plan
modification for the Tara Oaks PUD to amend the condition of
approval which required the construction of Knuth Road to be tied
entirely to the Tara Oaks PUD. The approval of the master plan
modification allowed the construction responsibility for Knuth Road
to be shared by the Knuth Road PCD.

Chapter 2.5, Planned Unit Developments, of the City I S land -..f.
development regulations states that changes in planned unit j.~/
developments shall be processed as follows: ~ ~~
Section 12. Changes in plans. ~
"Changes in plans approved as a part of the zoning to pun may ~
be permitted by the Planning and Zoning Board upon application
filed by the developer or his successors in interest, prior to
the expiration of the PUD classification, but only [after] a
finding that any such change or changes are in accord with all
regulations in effect when the change or changes are requested
and the intent and purpose of the comprehensive plan in effect
at the time of the proposed change. Substantial changes shall
be proposed as for a new application of PUD zoning. The
determination of what constitutes a substantial change shall
be within the sole discretion of the City Commission. Non-
substantial changes as determined by the City Commission in
plans shall not extend the expiration of the eighteen month
approval for the PUD classification."
ANALYSIS
staff has reviewed this request for consistency with the PUD
development standards, and the intent and purpose of planned unit
developments as stated in the following sections of Chapter 2.5 of
the City's land development regulations:
Section 1. Intent and purpose.
"A Planned Unit Development District (PUD) is established. It
is intended that this district be utilized to promote
efficient and economical land use, improved amenities,
appropriate and harmonious variety in physical development,
creative design, improved living environment, orderly and
economical development in the City, and the protection of
adj acent and eXisting and future City development. The
district is suitable for development, redevelopment and
conservation of land, water and other resources of the City.
Regulations for Planned Unit Developments are intended to
accomplish the purposes of zoning, subdivision regulations and
othe7 applicable City regulations to the same degree that they
a~e ~ntended to control development on a lot-by-lot basis. In
v~ew of the substantial public advantages of planned unit
development, it is the intent of PUD regulations to promote
~nd ~ncourage development in this form where tracts suitable
~n SIze, location and character for the uses and structures
proposed are to be planned and developed as unified and

coordinated units.
section 9. Internal PUD standards.
B. INTERNAL LOTS AND FRONTAGE. Within the boundaries of the
PUD, no minimum lot size or minimum yards shall be
required; provided, however, that PUD frontage on
dedicated public roads shall observe front yard
requirements in accordance with the zoning district the
PUD use most closely resembles and that peripheral yards
abutting other zoning districts shall be the same as
required in the abutting zone."
The following evaluates the significant issue relating to the
proposed changes:
1.
I
I
I
~
'~
Omission of the S.W. congress Boulevard connection to Knuth
Road extended - This change will cause a redistribution of
traffic from the original approved road network. The police
Department Memorandum No. 0168 indicates that the response
time for emergency vehicles to the subject property as well as
the cl ipper Cove and Lakes of Tara development would be
greatly increased if the road connection was constructed.
The Lakes of Tara Homeowners Association has indicated that
they are not in favor of extending S. W. Congress Boulevard to
Knuth Road extended (see Exhibit nDn - letter dated August 29,
1995 from Lakes of Tara Homeowners Association). The
association has also requested some minor improvements to this
area that are normally paid by an applicant as part of
abandonmen t.
Erom evaluating the plan, it appears that the change
t~om apartments to townhouses and the des' to retain
the 192-'llfi.' s from the approved master pla s well as offer
a privatized co ity, has driven the 1mination of the S.W.
Congress Boulevard ex on. reason for this is that
because of stacking and c of units, apartments
(previous master plan) -e efficient e land; yielding a
higher number 0 its per acre. Uni t es (such as
townhouses) at o~lY cluster units ~\.:~~ pu~equire
more la area to Y1eld the same e~ y, e when
bot nit types are limited to two stories.
The argument often made of not wanting to extend an existing
road to a new proj ect because of traffic and division of
residential tracts is not applicable to this project since
even with the previous master plan the project's residential
area was consolidated to one side (north) of S.W. congress
Boulevard. Furthermore, the only traffic that will use S.W.
Congress Boulevard is the traffic generated by this project;
reason being the existence of Quail Ridge to the west and
therefore, the lack of further extension of S. W. Congress
Boulevard west of Knuth Road.
This issue of connectivity of roads to the existing road
network ,has been raised frequently over the past five years
due to 1ncreased popularity of privatized communities which
st~ms from increased crime or the perception of increased
c~-1me. Rarely do applicants and homeowners understand that
W~~h priv~tizati,on,' quality of public services (response to
f 1I e, po11ce, II tl;I.i tYt'_e;,~rgenc ies and evacuations) decreases,
not o_nlY to the4it>P~~~pment, but to surrounding existing and
future developments that benefit from the safety and

convenience of an improved, integrated road network within
their city or county.
In their memorandum the Police Department notes the benefit to
multiple communities when roads are extended. The pre-planned
extension of the existing dead-end of S.W. Congress Boulevard
was to provide quicker response by police units in the western
area of the city to the houses in the western areas of Lakes
of Tara which at this time only have access from Congress
Avenue. This gives the Police Department the option of
sending a police unit from the east or west, or both if

Tara or Tara Oaks developments.
Reduction of the number of access points into the project from

the need for emergency access point (s) . As indicated in
Police Department MemoJ;an~~),~()~~9168, they have provided
emergency access points~ ~ad, however, the "Knox
Box" type of entry is not acceptable to the Police Department.
It should be not that access pOints restricted to emergency
ve' , rather than providing a full acces~ are less than
desirable and can reduce quality of emergency service too.~~
with the increased popularity of privatized communities the ~
fewer the access points, the lesser the cost to the developer _/
and homeowners to secure their access points wi th gua!,g~-

request and three other PUD townhouse projects approved by the
Ci ty Commission. The applicant is proposing the minimum
number of parking spaces of two per unit, but does not include
them within the boundaries of the lot of the unit. The zoning
code requires that "parking spaces for all dwellings shall be
located on the same lot as the dwelling to be served". No
other "true" townhouse project in the city, even in a PUD,
WhlCh generally allows flexibility with regard to building and

attempt to assign spaces to units). The reason for this is so
that it cannot be readily determined whether a homeowner is
home or not. There is much less of a chance of someone else
parking in "your" parking spaces if they are located
immediately next to your unit and on your property than if the
spaces where located on common areas.
~ Change the type and location of the recreation amen~ti~s from:
~:J1lubhouse, pool, jogging trail, picnic area and flshlng dock
to pool, cabana (restrooms for pool), sa~d voll~y ball court,
jogging trail and gazebo or garden amenlty - Wlth respect to
the proposed changes in the location of the amenities, staff
is in agreement with the proposed locations. However as
indicated in the Recreation & Parks Memorandum No. 95-424, the
cabana is not acceptable as a recreation amenity that would
allow the applicant to receive one half credit towards
required recreation fees (one half credit applies to projects
that provide five (5) recreation amenities). Based on 192
dwelling units the full recreation impact fee associated with
the land value of 2.88 acres is required at the time of final
plat. The Recreation & Parks Department strongly recommends
that the applicant provide a clubhouse building which would
allow the applicant to receive one half credit for providing
five (5) recreation amenities. Providing a clubhouse or
recreation building is consistent with the development of
other cluster housing projects in the City.

RE: Tara Oaks PUD
Minor Master Plan Modification
Our File No. 738.2
Dear Ms. Heyden,
Please accept and process the attached revised information for a Minor Master Plan Modification
to the previously approved Tara Oaks PUD, located north of Woolbright Road and east of the
future Knuth Road. We are submitting this revised Minor Master Plan Modification application
on behalf of Pulte Homes Corporation South Florida Division contract purchasers of the property
and Bill Winchester, owner of the prpperty, and incorporating comments received at the August
15, 1995 TRC Meeting.
The latest Master Plan approved on June 8, 1990 reflected a total of 192 multi-family units on the
northern portion of the site, an open space/preservation area centrally located, and a church
parcel on the southern portion of this site. The proposed Master Plan retains the 192 previously
approved units which will now be developed as fee simple townhomes. The open
space/preservation tract remains centrally located, and the church parcel remains unchanged on
the southern portion of the site. Attached with this application is a revised Master Site Plan for
the project reflecting proposed building locations and corresponding lot lines, access points, the
recreation area and parking configurations. The Conceptual Landscape Plan specifies proposed
landscape buffers and plant material requirements. A previously approved cross section is also
included with the submittal set. This cross section has been revised to reflect an agreement
made between the Stonehaven Home Owners Association and the property owner The
conceptual engineering plans, as well as a boundary and tree survey, are also attached.
The perimeter landscape buffer and the building setbacks proposed are consistent with those
previously approved. Minor adjustments have been made to the main access for the PUD. The
church parcel, which is under separate ownership, will retain the two previously approved.~ccess
points. The previously approved plan reflected two main access points to the residential ~lircel.
This has been reduced to one main access point which will be controlled with a security 'ate.
Three emergency access locations are proposed elsewhere along Knuth Road. These access
Ms. Tambri Heyden
August 31, 1995
Page 2
points will be stabilized to support the weight of emergency vehicles. They also will be gated
and locked pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue requirements. The developer of
Tara Oaks will be constructing Knuth Road from just north of the L-25 Canal south to Woolbright
Road including the required crossings over both the L-25 and L-26 Canals. Concurrent with this
roadway construction, an eight foot wide bike path will also be constructed on the east side of
Knuth Road adjacent to Tara Oaks PUD.
A private recreation site of 1.75 acres Is provided for Tara Oaks PUD. The active portion of the
recreation area is provided adjacent to the main entry. This recreation area has been relocated
from the site shown on the previously approved Master Plan to address conditions imposed on
the original approval. A passive recreation component consistent with that previously approved
is shown in the open space tract and will consist of a jogging trail through the
preservation/relocation area and a gazebo or garden amenity at its. terminus. A total of five (5)
recreational amenities are proposed to receive one half credit for the public recreation land
dedication. Consistent with the past approval and the comments again included in Parks and
Recreation Memorandum #90-229, the developer will pay a fee in lieu of land dedication for the
public park commitment.
The attached plans have been revised addressing those Issues raised at the TRC meeting of
August 15, 1995, and subsequent Items included in the TRC comment memorandums issued by
each reviewing department. The following is a recap of the comments included in the
memorandums and subsequent responses by the project team.

Re: Tara Oaks Gopher Tortoise Relocation
Dear Mr. Haag:
Approximately 55-60 gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus) are predicted to occur
on the Tara Oaks parcel. This estimated figure was determined using the burrow survey data
and data resulting from burrow investigation with an infrared video camera. The site has
been significantly impacted by prior land usage and clearing activities. These activities ha\e
significantly degraded the available gopher tortoise habitat on the parcel.
,
The Tara Oaks parcel comprises +24 <I(,;rcs. Florida Game and fresh Water Fish
Commission (FGFWFC) studies indicate that lllle ~llplH:r tortoise requirc'i lll1C-halt" (0.51 ~l,:r\:
of suitable habitat for long term survival. .\pprl1\llll<ltcly 30 acres of l)plIlllal habitat \\ould
be required to support the predicted Tara Oaks gopher tortoise population. Currently. the
parcel supports a population density in excess of this recommended density and. as such.
on-site preservation is not a viable option du~ to the:: presence of insufficient. low quality
habitat on the Tara Oaks parcel.
C&N recommends off-site relocation of the entire population to a large, regional
gopher tortoise re-stocking area. Mr. Tom Stice (FGFWFC) concurs with the survey
findings and the need to accommodate the tortoises through off-site relocation (telephone
conversation August 21, 1995).
An off-site relocation plan is being prepared for submittal to the FGFWFC. Upon
authorization of the off-site relocation permit. the tortoises will be captured and relocated to
the designated recipient site.
The listed flora and fauna survey also identified three scrub mint (Conradina
gral7.diflora) plants which are slated to be relocated to the proposed on-site preservation area.
No other state or federally listed floral or faunal species were observed on the Tara Oaks
parcel.
'-':'-4
.......
The off-site gopher tortoise relocation permit issued by FGFWFC will not alter the
Tara Oaks Master Plan or Site Plan as shown in order to comply with the permit
requirements, /lor wilI the proposed tree relocation plan.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely.

Dear Ms. Heyden:
In following the newspaper articles in regards to the Tara Oaks project and furthermore to a
telephone conversation that you and I have had in April on the subject, we the residents of Tara
Lakes are pleased that the "City of Boynton Beach" has "approved" the extension of Knuth Road
through to Woolbright Rd.
In addition, we are pleased to learn that there are no longer plans to access the new community
from Southwest Congress Blvd. With this in mind, the community of Tara Lakes wishes to ask
that the City of Boynton Beach "temporarily. annex the small extension of road that goes beyond
Tara Lakes Drive West to the Tara Lakes HOA. In addition, a dead end barricade and caution
sign would need to be placed in that position where the road presently ends by the City of
. Boynton Beach to prohibit illegal vehicle traffic and dumping if this annex is allowed.
,
In regards to this matter, Tara Lakes HOA would like to place a basketball hoop in the "pro-
posed" area for the residents of our community to enjoy. As the paved extension of road exists,
there would be minimum cost to both Tara Lakes and City of Boynton Beach to allow for such
structure. In addition, the "temporary" annex could be removed at a later date if the decision
was made to connect Southwest Congress to Knuth Rd or other extension.
As the surfacing is already prepared it would be a shame to see this property torn up when it
could be used for real community activity. Our plan would make the extension a small park.
Possibly a small ficus hedge would be added to give the area some needed aesthetic look also.
Please consider our request and advise if you think this is possible. I can be contacted at my
office at (407) 997-2299 during normal business hours or at my home in the evening at (407)
737-9173. We are prepared to contact the .City Commission" or other official if necessary.
In conclusion, thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
(" , "\

Tara Oaks PUD - 2nd Review (Mast Plan Modification)
FROM:
RE:
DATE:
September 18, 1995
The Recreation & Park Department has reviewed the masterplan modification (2nd review) for Tara
Oaks PUD. The following comments are submitted:
I. The developer appears to have addressed all comments in Recreation & Park memorandwn
#95-379 with the exception of #2 concerning the provision of a clubhouse/meeting room
which is still shown as a cabana.
2. A cabana is not considered a separate recreation amenity but is considered a part of the
swimming pool. This department feels strongly that a recreation center building
(clubhouse/meeting room) is lJIl essential part of the complete private recreation package for
this type residential development.
3. Representatives for the developer have indicated their willingness to provide a different 5th
private recreation element but not a recreation center/meeting room. We would JlQt
recommend this as an acceptable alternative.
4. At this time, the Recreation and Park Dq>artment cannot recommend one-half credit for
private recreatio~ provided.
5. Based on 192 D.U. X .0150 acres = 2.88 acres recreation impact fee. Since the developer
is not recommended for one-half credit, the full 2.88 acres fee is required at the time of final
plat.

RE:
TARA OAKS - TRAFFIC SIGNAL
As you know, Mr. Weisberg has informally reported that future
traffic at the intersection of Woolbright Road and Knuth Road is
not projected to warrant installation of a traffic signal at that
location. He suggests that it is possible for the City to require
the developer of Tara Oaks to escrow the cost of such a signal
($35,OOOz) to cover installation up to two years beyond development
substantial completion and subject to traffic counts at that time.
If the signal is not then warranted, the escrow payment would be
returned to the developer.
It is my opinion that traffic projections from Tara Oaks are so
light that the likelihood of a signal being required in the future
is minimal. If Knuth Road is constructed through to Boynton Beach
Boulevard, additional traffic would be generated at
Woolbright/Knuth. That may be pretty much offset by the reduction
in traffic to/from Tara Oaks since residents and visitors will have
the option of going either north or south on Knuth Road.
If the Commission wishes to make the ..orow .rr.ng.m.nt d..erib.d
herein a condition of approval of Tara Oaks, we have no objection.

TARA OAKS - TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
We have today first seen the September 12 traffic study for Tara
Oaks. The two significant requirements contained therein are a
right turn lane in at the project entrance and a southbound to
eastbound left turn lane at the Knuth Road/Woolbright Road
intersection.
Normally additional conditions would not be placed on an
application this late, but clearly it was the applicant's
delinquent submission of the traffic study which made it impossible
to respond earlier.

SECURITY GATES AND EMERGENCY ACCESS:
The Fire Department continues to have the opinion that
security gates are detrimental to Fire and Rescue operations.
The minimum performance for security gates is as follows:
1- Gates shall be openable by telephone, with a call from
central Dispatch Center.
2- when the gate is opened by the call from central
Dispatch, it shall remain open until the emergency is over;
at which time central Dispatch will be told, by officer in
charge, to close the gate.
3- In case of a power failure the gate shall open
automatically.
4- Appropriate "Hold Harmless" agreement re: damage to
gates equipment, etc.

Dear Ms. Heyden:
Per Mike Haag's request, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the
traffic impact study for the project entitled Tara Oaks, pursuant to the Traffic
Performance Standards in Article 7.9 of the Palm Beach County land Development
Code. The proposed project will consist of 192 multi-family residential dwelling
units and a 20,000 square foot church. The study reports this site to be
previously approved for 77 single-family dwell ing units. The traffic study
addresses the increase in traffic from the proposed project, minus the approved
project. The access points are all on Knuth Road. The build-out for the project
is 1999.
The traffic study addresses the traffic from a church only. We have been seeing
many of the 1 arger churches are be i ng bu il t wi th day school and day care
facilities. If the project has these uses, the traffic from these uses also
needs to be addressed.
The Traffic Division has determined that the project meets the r.quirem.ent. of
the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. If you have any
questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.
Yvonne Zie1's letter recommends a right turn lane on Knuth Road, at the
residential driveway, if Knuth Road is not extended to the north. While the
projected peak hour traffic volumes meet the County minimum requirements for a
right turn lane, there appears to be a flaw in the logic.
Right turn lanes are needed to remove slower turning traffic from the through
traffic flow. If Knuth Road is not extended north, there is no through traffic.
The right turn lane would serve no purpose. When knuth Road is extended to the
north, the traffic would probably be oriented more to the north. There would be
a need for a left turn lane at the residential driveway. There appears to be
only a short section of Knuth Road misSing north of this project. It seems
logical to make the connection to the north in conjunction with this development.
Otherwise there will be a missing section of roadway in a fully developed area.

Time Extension - master plan and concurrency exemption
Please place the above-referenced request on the March 21, 1995
Ci ty Commission agenda under Development Plans, Non-consent agenda.
DESCRIPTION: This is a request for approval of an eighteen (18)
month retroactive and an indefinite time extension for
zoning/master plan approval and concurrency
exemption/certification, submitted by Kieran Kilday, agent for Bill
Winchester, property owner of the Tara Oaks PUD located at the

Re: Knuth Road P.C.D. Extension Request, Boynton Beach P.C.D. Extension
Request and Tara Oaks P.U.D. Extension Request
Our Project No.: 799.16
Dear Ms. Heyden,
This letter will serve as several requests. Firstly, on behalf of my clients, I have
been authorized to request an additional thirty (30) day postponement of both the
Knuth Road P.C.D. and the Boynton Beach P.C.D. As indicated in my previous
correspondence of March 16, 1995, my clients have been trying to firm up
development time tables to address the concerns which were raised by the
Planning Commission. They are still in this process and would prefer the
additional thirty (30) days to be in a better position to address these issues before
the City Council.
In the case of the Tara Oaks P.U.D., we do intend to present the matter to the city
Council on Tuesday, April 18, 1995. In this particular case, my clients have
entered into a contract with Pulte Homes who will develop the project. We are
requesting that representatives of Pulte Homes accompany us to the meeting to
better explain their proposal to the Council. In all likelihood, because their
housing type will require modification of the master plan, a master plan
modification request would shortly follow approval of the extension. On Tuesday
night, we can provide the Council with more details regarding their sales program.
However, given the fact that we are anxious to move ahead with the Pulte Homes
/ Tara Oaks proposals, I do need to get the impact fee credits issue resolved for
the construction of Knuth Road. You will recall, that I addressed this matter to you
in a separate letter of January 24, 1995, (attached). Sometime ago, both the
County Representatives and City Staff recommended approval of these impact fee
credits. However, in order to facilitate that approval, a resolution must be passed
by the City Council to be submitted to Palm Beach County. Attached you will
Ms. Tambri .Heyden
April 12, 1995
Page 2 of 2
find a draft of a resolution that contains the necessary information according to
the County O~inance. I would request that this matter be on the agenda for
action on Tuesday nights meeting as well as the Tara Oak extension. Resolution
of this issue is a requirement of our contract with Pulte Homes.
.
Please call me if you have any questions regarding any of these matters.
Sincerely,

Re: Impact Fee Credits for the Construction of Knuth Road
Our Project No.: 799.16
Dear Ms. Heyden,
As you are aware, my client, Mr. Bill Winchester, is responsible for the construction of
Knuth Road as part of the Conditions of Approval for the two Planned Commercial
Developments and one Planned Unit Development which are currently being considered
for Time Extensions. Since the projects have been approved, there has been an
assumption that the costs incurred with regard to the construction of this road would be
credited against Palm Beach County Traffic Impact Fees. Because Knuth Road is a
collector road designated on the City's Comprehensive Plan, the value of the construction
of Knuth Road is more resident serving than project serving.
In reviewing our files, it appears that the issue of impact fee credit has never been finally
coordinated with Palm Beach County. I am attaching a letter written by Mr. Chris Cutro
on May 28, 1992 to Mr. Haney Frakes. It is my understanding that our County staff is
prepared to recommend approval of the impact fee credits, but a resolution requesting
such credits needs to be adopted by the City Council. Attached you will find a draft
resolution which was prepared by my office to assist Mr. Cutro at the time he was
pursuing this matter. As you are aware, Mr. Cutro left the City without this matter being
finally resolved. As far as I know, this resolution has not been reviewed by your City
Attomey or presented to the City Council for their approval. At this time, assuming that
the City Council approves the extensions for these projects, it seems appropriate to also
resolve this issue. By getting this issue resolved now, there should be no additional
delays in moving these projects forward within the time period allowed by the extension
If I can be of any assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Kieran J. Kilday

Time Extension (Amendment to Planning and Zoning
Department Memorandum No. 95-037
At the request of the applicant, Kieran Kilday, the Planning and
Development Board at their February 14, 1995 meeting postponed
action on the request for a time extension for zoning/master plan
approval and concurrency exemption for the above-referenced
project. The applicant requested postponement due to incomplete
traffic information and related unresolved issues.
This memorandum serves to address these issues that could not be
addressed in the original staff report, Planning and Zoning
Department Memorandum No. 95-037. Based on recent Commission
sentiment ~egarding approving multiple and retroactive time
extension requests, staff has required, pursuant to the concurrency
management ordinance, traffic information to be submitted with such
requests. The purpose of the traffic information is to identify
any repercussions associated with approving a time extension with
an exemption from current traffic requirements i the difference
between traffic improvements that were required at the time of the
original development order vs. improvements that would be required
today. For example, the original traffic study did not include all
roadway links reviewed under the existing Traffic Performance
standard Ordinance.
The Planning and Zoning Department has reviewed the March 6, 1995
letter from Mr. Kieran Kilday (see Exhibit "M"), agent for Mr.
Bill Winchester, property owner, and the March 7, 1995 letter from
Hr. Dan Weisberg (see Exhibit "BB") , Palm Beach County - Traffic
Division. The unidentified previOUS petition mentioned in the Tara
03ks portion of Mr. Weisberg's letter refers to a previously vested
approval th3t was granted for 77 single-family homes which equates
to 770 daily trips. As stated in Mr. Weisberg's letter the updated
traffic study meets Tr3ffic Performance stan.dards (TPS) on all
r02dways.

Dear Mr. Hng:

three studies ire updates to the K. S. Rogers traffic stud'es prepared in 1990.

SUBJICT: Tara Oaks PUD - File No. CNTE 94-005 .& HPTB 95-003
Time Extens ion ( zoning/master plan approval and
concurrency exemption)
NATURE OF REOUEST
Kieran Kilday of Kilday & Associates, agent for Bill Winchester,
property owner, is requesting an indefinite time extension for
Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning/master plan approval and
concurrency exemption/certification for the Tara Oaks PUD (see
Exhibit "A" - letter of request). The Planned Unit Development
consists of 192 multi-family units, private recreation and a 20,000
square foot church (see Exhibit "B" - approved master plan). The
PUD is to be located at the northeast corner of Knuth Road extended
and Woolbright Road.
BACKGROUND
On June 21, 1988, the City Commission approved a master plan and
rezoning of the Tara Oaks PUD property from R1AAA (Single Family
Residential) to PUD with a land use intensity (LUI) of 4.00 for 78
single family, detached units.
On December 18, 1990, after review by the Department of Community
of Affairs (DCA) and despite objections, the City Commission
approved ordinances for a land use element amendment that changed
the land u.. classification of the property from Low Density
ReSidential to Medium Density Residential and rezoning of the
property from PUD (LUI:4) to PUD (LUI:5) with a master plan for 192
multi-family units, private recreation and a 20,000 square foot
church. The adopted comprehensive plan amendment was transmitted
to DCA on December 19, 1990, along with responses to DCA's
objections. In February 1991, the DCA issued a notice of intent to
find the comprehensive plan amendment in compliance.
These applications were submitted under Palm Beach County's current
traffic pet-formance standards ordinance, however prior to the
effective date of the City's concurrency management ordinance.
Therefore, concurrency certification for traffic and concurrency
exemption for drainage amd neighborhood parks were granted with the
1990 approval.
On June 2, 1992, the City Commission approved a request to allow
construction of the south portion (adjacent to the church parcel)
of Knuth Road, prior to preliminary plat approval of the property.
The reason for submitting the request was to ensure the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' purchase of the church parcel
within the PUD, which took place on June 26, 1992.
On June 16, 1992, the City Commission granted a one (1) year time
extension that extended the project's June 18, 1992 expiration date
to June 17, 1993. No application for extensions was made since
t~e Ju~e 1993 expiration, until the subject extension which was
~11ed 1n November 1994; a period of one year and five months. This
1S the need for a retroactive extension.

Memo No. 9'5-037
Time Extension for
Tara Oaks PUD
February 9, 1995
...,
On April 8# 1993, the city Commission approved a master plan
modification for the Tara Oaks PUD to amend the condition of
approval which required the construction of Knuth Road to be tied
entirely to the Tara Oaks PUD. The approval of the master plan
modification allowed the construction responsibility for Knuth Road
to be shared by the Knuth Road PCD.
ANALYSIS
Several sections of the code of ordinances govern these types of
extensions. Regarding expiration of the concurrency exemption for
the project, Section 19-92 (e) of Chapter 19, Article VI of the
Code of Ordinances states that such requests for time extensions
"may be filed not later than 60 days after the expiration of said
certificate or exemption". It furthers states that "time
extensions may be granted for any length of time which does not
exceed one year". Historically, retroactive extensions combined
with a "current" extension that equate to more than one year, have
been granted under certain circumstances.
Regarding the projects's previous exemption to the current drainage
and neighborhood parks levels of service, the project meets the
current drainage and neighborhood parks requirements. As
preViously stated, the 1990 approval was reviewed against the
current traffic levels of service. Therefore, traff ic
certification was received at the time of the approval. With the
subject request, a traffic study was submitted to identify any
changes in the 1990 certification. The Palm Beach County traffic
division is coordinating the receipt of additional information to
make this determination and indicated that they would try to have
a. response to the City by the Planning and Development Board
meeting.
The other .ection applicable to this request is Section 9.C.13 of
Appendix A - Zoning, wherein it states that the city Commission
shall review any rezoning approval to a planned zoning district
(PUD, PtD or PCD) that has expired and take action in accordance
with paragraphs a. and b. below:
"a. The city commission may extend the zoning of the property
for a period of one (1) year or more, or may extend the
zoning of the property indefinitely. If development of
the property in the manner specified above does not occur
by the end of said time extension, the city commission
may grant additional time extensions or may take action
in accordance with paragraph b. below:
b. The city commission may' instruct the city manager to file
an application to a more restrictive zoning district
and/or future land use category. The zoning of the
property shall be considered to be extended until final
adoption of the more restrictive zoning district and/or
future land use map use category."
Consistent with Section 9.C.13 of Appendix A - Zoning, the Planning
and Zoning Department is forwarding the request for review and
direction regarding the status of the approval. If the approval is
not retroactively extended, the city Commission may wish to
instruct staff to file a rezoning and/or land use amendment
application to a more restrictive zoning category. If the approval
is retroactively extended, the City Commission should speCify
whether the approvar is extended indefinitely or for a set period
of time.

planning and Development Board
Memo No. - 95-037
Time Extension for
Tara oaks PUD
February 9, 1995
One of the original DCA objections with the increase in
intensity/density of the residential land. use was based on staff's
determination that the change in residential land use was contrary
to the established land us. pattern (surrounding Low Density,
Moderate Density and Low Residential 3 land uses) and that the
applicant had not demonstrated where the increase in water and
sewer capacity was available elsewhere in the water and sewer
service area. Since the preparation in 1989 of the Potable Water
Sub-element of the comprehensive plan, water capacity has
increased. The City is required to submit its BAR (Bvaluation and
Appraisal Report) of the comprehensive plan by August of next year.
As part of the EAR, staff will reevaluate the appropriateness of
the land use of the property, if development has not commenced.
The applicant is stating that the time extension is warranted based
on various improvements that have been made to initiate
construction of the project. As part of the construction of Knuth
Road, the Knuth Road culvert crossing over the L.W.D.D. L-26 Canal
is in place, however it has not been verified to the Engineering
Division that the work was certified. A clearinq and grubbing
permit for the Knuth Road right-of-way was issued on March 24,
1993, which has not been determined whether a final inspection was
received. On April 8, 1993, the City Commission approved an
excavation and fill permit for the construction of Knuth Road and
an excavation final inspection was received on January 21, 1994.
The applicant has also prepared plans for the construction of the
south portion of Knuth Road, adjacent to the church parcel, that
were last sub.itted in Hay of 1993. However, construction could
not be approved by the City until certain May 4th, 1993 comments
were addressed. This has not yet occurred.
RECOMMENDATION
For the above reasons, on January 10, 1995 and January 24, 1995,
the Technical Review Committee reviewed the request and recommended
that a time extension be granted, subject to all previous comments
and conditions of rezoning and master plan modification approval.
However, rather than granting an extension for an indefinite period
of time, staff is recommending that the extension expire on June
18, 1996. The extension, if approved as recommended by staff,
would equate to a retroactive extension from June 18, 1993 to
February 21, 1995 (one year and n~ol1th.) ~an additional
eKtension from February 21, 1995 t June 18, 1996 (one year and
four months) .' ./

Boynton Beach, Fl 33425
RE: Request for TIme Extensions
PROJECTS: Tara Oaks P.U.D. (Ordinance 90-75)
Knuth P.C.D. (Ordinance 90-70)
Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D. (Ordinance 90-73)
Dear Ms. Heyden,
This letter will serve as a fonnel request to have the City Comml8slon of Boynton Beach
review the status of the above three (3) Planned Developm.a .-.d to grant further time
extensions for their commencement of development. I have reviened your Zoning Code
In an effort to determine the proper procedure for extending these project approvals. It
appears that the only process aveJlable at this time Is cont8Ined In SectIon S, ArtIcle 13,
Time Umltatlon for QJuIoDment of ProD8't;y. In fact, this section was the basis for a
similar review of the Capitol Professional Cent.. PCO (located at the southeast comer
of Knuth Road and Old Boynton Road). In that case, the Commission, after determining
that the existing Planned Commercial Development zoning was the most appropriate
zoning for the property, granted an Indefinite time extension. I have attached the staff
report and time extension letter for YOU" review.
All three (3) of the above referenced Planned Developments were approved on
December 18, 1990. Since that time, while ttwe has been some activity concerning
each of the proJectS, there has not been fonnal final development plan approval and/or
construction. The original eighteen (18) month time limit of the approvals would have
expired on Jw. 18, 1992. However, on June 18, 1992, the City Commission approved
our request to ... td the expiration dates of the three (3) plamed developments for one
(1) year until Jtnt 17, 1993 (see attached letter tram Ctwts Cutro dated June 29, 1992).
No action or review has taken place since that time. Due to the down swing In the
economy, the property owners have been unable to successfully commence
development which, In this case, Is recording of a plat of record for the first phase of
development. However, the property owners have worked continuously on all three
projects since the last extension in an effort to commence development

Since the expiration of the time extension on June 18, 1993, the properties have been
In a sort of limbo. If you recall, the two commercial properties were 8I1f18Xed Into the
City of Boynton Beach at the same time that they were rezoned. Therefore, the Planned
Commercial Devef9pmWlt Zoning District I. the only zoning dlstrtct that has ever been
assigned to them within the City of Boynton Beach. With regard to the Tara Oaks
property, the project was already an existing Planned Unit Development when It was
modified to Its current mast. plan ataNe. TherwIo.... aaeumlng that the Planned
Development approval. have expired for all three projects, I have no Idee what the actual
undet1ylng zoning would be. I believe that I. why the provisions of Section 9, Article 13
were provided In the Code. AI In the C8H of tt. Capitol ProfMllonal Center peD, the
proJecta clearty need to be revlllted by the City Commllllon to determine whether the
exlltlng zoning II the moat approprtate zoning and, _umlng that It I., formal action
should be taken regartllng the extension of these approvals.
'W
Needless to say, my clients are actively seeking extensions of these approvals. Despite
the economic problems which prevented these projects from moving to the next step In
the development process, there has been activities und8tak... tIvoughout the enUre ,~.
tlmeframe of the approvals to ready these projects for development. For the purpose of
your analysis regarding the status 0' these projects, I have prepared a ammary of
activities for each project below. Additionally, I win be calling yowofflce to s. up a
meeting to review th.e projects with you and I will be prepared to be present at the time
of their consideration by the City Commission. At thts time, I am not aware of any formal
application procedure. However, If th... I. an application docum...t, we will be ready
to submit It to you promptly.
I. Tara Oak. Planned Unit DevelopmenL This project received a rezoning
approvat from P.U.D. - Pfamed Unit Development with a land use Intensity of 4.0
to a P.U.D. - Planned Unit Development with a land use intensity of 5.0. This
project also received a land use amendment approval from Low Density
Residential to Medium Density Residential. Both of these ordinances were passed
on final reading by the City Commission on December 18, 1990.
As part of the rezoning and land use approval, the applicant entered Into an
agreement with the Stonehaven Homeowner's Association which required the
appllc&nt to commit to numerous conditions of approval Including providing a
buffer wall on the proJecfs north property line along with a twenty-five foot wide
landscape buffer and a 40' setback for all buildings from the north property line
of Tara Oaks P.U.D. (copy attached.) This agreement Is stili active and binding.
Since the approval of the project the applicant has done the following:
1. Pursuant to the approved master plan, the south portion of the property
was designated for utilization by a church. In f8<?t. this property was sold
{,
Ms. Tambrt Heyden

to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on June 26, 1992 (see
attached warranty deed). Therefore, the Planned Unit Development now
has two separat~ owners, the applicant and the church.
-
2. In order to develop this first phase for the church percel, the applicant
requested an approval for road Improv.-n~ for the Tara Oaks P.U.D.

P.U,D, to ICCOmmodate the pending plJl"CMse of the church parcel.
Subsequently, on June 2, 1992 the City Commission granted approval of
the partial Knuth Road Improv.-n.u required by the Tara Oaks P.U.D.
(see attached letter dated June 12, 1992 from ChItI CUtro). Also attached
Is a letter from the Boynton City engineer dated JW18 19, 1992 Indicating
what additional work wu required to obtain a land developmn permit for
the road construction. The applicant expended ov.. $4,000.00 In
conjunction with obtaining approval of th_ preliminary plans.
Additionally, the applicant has obtained the prevlo~ construction plans ,,-:
from the previous owner which win be modified In order to obtain final
permits. (It should also be noted that over $100,000.00 has been set aside
In an escrow account to guarantee construction of this portion of Knuth
Road at such time as the church 18 reedy to pul building permits for the
development of the site.)
3. The applicant has compiled with the zoning condition of approval to
dedicate to the City of Boynton Beech twenty-five (25) feet for Knuth Road
Pl:lrslJant to the attached right-of-way deed (ORB 7324, Pg. 1159, dated
June 26, 1992).
4. The applicant has expended over $28,000.00 for the construction of the
canal crossing at the Intersection of Woolbright Road and Knuth Roact.
Attached 18 correspondence concerning the canal crossing Including:

DESCRIPTION: This is a request for approval of an eighteen (18)
month retroactive and an indefinite time extension for
zoning/master plan approval and concurrency
exemption/certification, submitted by Kieran Kilday, agent for Bill
Winchester, property owner of the Tara Oaks PUD located at the
northeast corner of Knuth Road extended and Woolbright Road. The
expired master plan depicts one hundred ninety-two (192) multi-
family units, private recreation and a twenty thousand (20,000)
square foot church.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Development Board, with a 6-1
vote, recommended denial of this request. The Board recommended
tha t the zoning and land use of the subj ect property be re-

Tara Oaks PUD - File No. CNTE 94-005 & MPTE 94-003
Time Extension (Amendment to Planning and Zoning
Department Memorandum No. 95-037
At the request of the applicant, Kieran Kilday, the Planning and
Development Board at their February 14, 1995 meeting postponed
action on the request for a time extension for zoning/master plan
approval and concurrency exemption for the above-referenced
project. The applicant requested postponement due to incomplete
traffic information and related unresolved issues.
This memorandum serves to address these issues that could not be
addressed in the original staff report, Planning and Zoning
Department Memorandum No. 95-037. Based on recent Commission
sentiment regarding approving multiple and retroactive time
extension requests, staff has required, pursuant to the concurrency
management ordinance, traffic information to be submitted with such
requests. The purpose of the traffic information is to identify
any repercussions associated with apprOVing a time extension with
an exemption from current traffic reqUirements; the difference
between traffic improvements that were required at the time of the
original development order vs. improvements that would be required
today. For example, the original traffic study did not include all
roadway links reviewed under the existing Traffic Performance
standard Ordinance.
The Planning and Zoning Department has reviewed the March 6, 1995
letter from Mr. Kieran Kilday (see Exhibit "M"), agent for Mr.
Bill Winchester, property owner, and the March 7, 1995 letter from
Hr. Dan Weisberg (see Exhibit "BB"), Palm Beach County - Traffic
Division. The unidentified previous petition mentioned in the Tara
Oaks portion of Mr. Weisberg's letter refers to a previously vested
approval that was granted for 77 single-family homes which equates
to 770 daily trips. As stated in Mr. Weisberg'S letter the updated
traffic study meets Traffic Performance standards (TPS) on all
roadways.

Dear Mr. Haag;
The P~lm Bea.:h County Traff1c 01v1s1on has traff1c reviewed the three traffic
anaiyses prepared by Simmons & White for these three proposed developments. The
three studies are updates to the K. S. Rogers traff1c studies prepared in 1990.
They use the trip generation and trip distr1bution from the K. S. Rogen studies
and update the existing traffic volumes (1994) and the future traffic (1997)
volumes. These traffic studies do not address traffic on Gateway Boulevard for
the triO P.C.D.s, as wnuld be required by the eXist1ng Traffic Performance
Standards (TPS). A letter received yesterday from Simmons & Whlte prov1des some
of the requested additional information for Gateway Boulevard.
~on Beach Boulevard P.C.DL
The Updlillild Lr'iirric study address!! 120,000 square fect of general retall. The
traffi: study states that the it address 110,375 square feet of general reta11
and outparcels consisting of a 5,625 square foot bank with drive-through and a
4.000 square foot high-turnover restaurant. The Qutparcels are high traff1c
generators and the traffic study does not properly address the outparcel uses.
The 120.000 square feet of retail will generate 4,818 net daily trips with a
build..cut of 1997. The study shows that the project will meet the requirements
of TPS on all roadways except Gateway Boulevard. Gateway Boulevard restricts the
d~vp.lopment to 75.7QO square feet of general retail (3,361 daily trips) until it
;~ widened to six-lanes in FY 96/97.

MEMORANDUM NO. 95-037
TO:
Chairman and Members
Planning and Development Board
THRU :
Tambri J. Heyden
Planning and Zoning Director
FROM:
Michael E. Haag
Zoning and Site Development Administrator
DATE:
February 9, 1995
SUBJECT: Tara Oaks PUD - File No. CNTE 94-005 & MPTE 95-003
Time Extension (zoning/master plan approval and
concurrency exemption)
NATURE OF REOUEST
Kieran Kilday of Kilday & Associates, agent for Bill Winchester,
property owner, is requesting an indefinite time extension for
Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning/master plan approval and
concurrency exemption/certification for the Tara Oaks PUD (see
Exhibit "A" - letter of request). The Planned Unit Development
consists of 192 multi-family units, private recreation and a 20,000
square foot church (see Exhibit "B" - approved master plan). The
PUD is to be located at the northeast corner of Knuth Road extended
and Woolbright Road.
BACKGROUND
On June 21, 1988, the City Commission approved a master plan and
rezoning of the Tara oaks PUD property from R1AAA (Single Family
Residential) to PUD with a land use intensity (LUI) of 4.00 for 78
single family, detached units.
On December 18, 1990, after review by the Department of Community
of Affairs (DCA) and despite objections, the City Commission
approved ordinances for a land use element amendment that changed
the land use classification of the property from Low Density
Residential to Medium Density Residential and rezoning of the
property from PUD (LUI:4) to PUD (LUI:5) with a master plan for 192
multi-family units, private recreation and a 20,000 square foot
church. The adopted comprehensive plan amendment was transmitted
to DCA on December 19, 1990, along with responses to DCA's
objections. In February 1991, the DCA issued a notice of intent to
find the comprehensive plan amendment in compliance.
These applications were submitted under Palm Beach County's current
traffic performance standards ordinance, however prior to the
effective date of the city's concurrency management ordinance.
Therefore, concurrency certificabion for traffic and concurrency
exemption for drainage amd neighborhood parks were granted with the
1990 approval.
On June 2, 1992, the City Commission approved a request to allow
construction of the south portion (adjacent to the church parcel)
of Knuth Road, prior to preliminary plat approval of the property.
The reason for submitting the request was to ensure the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' purchase of the church parcel
within the PUD, which took place on June 26, 1992.
On June 16, 1992, the City Commission granted a one (1) year time
extension that extended the project's June 18, 1992 expiration date
to June 17, 1993. No application for extensions was made since
the June 1993 expiration, until the subject extension which was
filed in November 1994; a period of one year and five months. This
is the need for a retroactive extension.

Memo No. 95-037
Time Extension for
Tara Oaks PUD
February 9, 1995
On April 8, 1993, the city Commission approved a master plan
modification for the Tara Oaks PUD to amend the condition of
approval which required the construction of Knuth Road to be tied
entirely to the Tara Oaks PUD. The approval of the master plan
modification allowed the construction responsibility for Knuth Road
to be shared by the Knuth Road PCD.
ANALYSIS
Several sections of the code of ordinances govern these types of
extensions. Regarding expiration of the concurrency exemption for
the project, Section 19-92 (e) of Chapter 19, Article VI of the
Code of Ordinances states that such requests for time extensions
"may be filed not later than 60 days after the expiration of said
certificate or exemption". It furthers states that "time
extensions may be granted for any length of time which does not
exceed one year". Historically, retroactive extensions combined
with a "current" extension that equate to more than one year, have
been granted under certain circumstances.
Regarding the projects's pr~vious exemption to the current drainage
and neighborhood parks levels of service, the project meets the
current drainage and neighborhood parks requirements. As
previously stated, the 1990 approval was reviewed against the
current traffic levels of service. Therefore, traffic
certification was received at the time of the approval. With the
subject request, a traffic study was submitted to identify any
changes in the 1990 certification. The Palm Beach County traffic
division is coordinating the receipt of additional information to
make this determination and indicated that they would try to have
a response to the City by the Planning and Development Board
meeting.
The other section applicable to this request is Section 9.C.13 of
Appendix A - Zoning, wherein it states that the city Commission
shall review any rezoning approval to a planned zoning district
(PUD, PID or PCD) that has expired and take action in accordance
with paragraphs a. and b. below:
"a. The city commission may extend the zoning of the property
for a period of one (1) year or more, or may extend the
zoning of the property indefinitely. If development of
the property in the manner specified above does not occur
by the end of said time extension, the city commission
may grant additional time extensions or may take action
in accordance with paragraph b. below:
b. The city commission may'instruct the city manager to file
an application to a more restrictive zoning district
and/or future land use category. The zoning of the
property shall be considered to be extended until final
adoption of the more restrictive zoning district and/or
future land use map use category."
Consistent with Section 9.C.13 of Appendix A - Zoning, the Planning
and Zoning Department is forwarding the request for review and
direction regarding the status of the approval. If the approval is
not retroactively extended, the City Commission may wish to
instruct staff to file a rezoning and/or land use amendment
application to a more restrictive zoning category. If the approval
is retroactively extended, the City Commission should speCify
whether the approva~ is extended indefinitely or for a set period
of time.

Planning and Development Board
Memo No. 95-037
Time Extension for
Tara oaks PUD
February 9, 1995
One of the original DCA objections with the increase in
intensity/density of the residential land use was based on staff's
determination that the change in residential land use was contrary
to the established land use pattern (surrounding Low Density,
Moderate Density and Low Residential 3 land uses) and that the
applicant had not demonstrated where the increase in water and
sewer capacity was available elsewhere in the water and sewer
service area. Since the preparation in 1989 of the Potable Water
Sub-element of the Comprehensive Plan, water capacity has
increased. The city is required to submit its EAR (Evaluation and
Appraisal Report) of the comprehensive plan by August of next year.
As part of the EAR, staff will reevaluate the appropriateness of
the land use of the property, if development has not commenced.
-::
The applicant is stating that the time extension is warranted based
on various improvements that have been made to initiate
construction of the project. As part of the construction of Knuth
Road, the Knuth Road culvert crossing over the L.W.D.D. L-26 Canal
is in place, however it has not been verified to the Engineering
Division that the work was certified. A clearing and grubbing
permi t for the Knuth Road right-of-way was issued on March 24,
1993, which has not been determined whether a final inspection was
received. On April 8, 1993, the City Commission approved an
excavation and fill permit for the construction of Knuth Road and
an excavation final inspection was received on January 21, 1994.
The applicant has also prepared plans for the construction of the
south portion of Knuth Road, adjacent to the church parcel, that
were last submitted in May of 1993. However, construction could
not be approved by the City until certain May 4th, 1993 comments
were addressed. This has not yet occurred.
RECOMMENDATION
For the above reasons, on January 10, 1995 and January 24, 1995,
the Technical Review Committee reviewed the request and recommended
that a time extension be granted, subject to all previous comments
and conditions of rezoning and master plan modification approval.
However, rather than granting an extension for an indefinite period
of time, staff is recommending that the extension expire on June
18, 1996. The extension, if approved as recommended by staff,
would equate to a retroactive extension from June 18, 1993 to
February 21, 1995 (one year and nine months) and an additional
extension from February 21, 1995 to June 18, 1996 (one year and
four months). .'

Ms. Tambrf Heyden, Director
City of Boynton Beach Planning & Zoning Department

Boynton Beach, FL 33425
RE: Request for TIme Extensions
PROJECTS: Tara Oaks P.U.D. (Ordinance 90-75)
Knuth P.C.D. (Ordinance 90-70)
Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D. (Ordinance 90-73)
Dear Ms. Heyden,
This letter will serve as a formal request to have the City Commission of Boynton Beach
review the status of the above three (3) Planned Developments and to grant further time
extensions for their commencement of development. I have reviewed your Zoning Code
In an effort to determine the proper procedure for extending these project approvals. It
appears that the only process available at this time Is contained In Section 9, Article 13,
Time limitation for Develocment of Pro.certv. In fact, this section was the basis for a
similar review of the Capitol Professional Center PCD (located at the southeast comer
of Knuth Road and Old Boynton Road). In that case, the Commission, after determining
that the existing Planned Commercial Development zoning was the most appropriate
zoning for the property. granted an indefinite time extension. I have attached the staff
report and time extension letter for your review.
All three (3) of the above referenced Planned Developments were approved on
December 18, 1990. Since that time, while there has been some activity concerning
each of the projectS, there has not been formal final development plan approval and/or
construction. The original eighteen (18) month time limit of the approvals would have
expired on June 18, 1992. However, on June 16, 1992, the City Commission approved
our request to extend the expiration dates of the three (3) planned developments for one
(1) year until June 17. 1993 (see attached letter from Chris Cutro dated June 29, 1992).
No action or review has taken place since that time. Due to the down swing in the
economy, the property owners have been unable to successfully commence
development which, in this case, is recording of a plat of record for the first phase of
development. However, the property owners have worked continuously on all three
projects since the last extension in an effort to commence development.

Since the expiration of the time extension on June 18, 1993, the properties have been
In a sort of limbo. If you recall, the two commercial properties were annexed Into the
City of Boynton Beach at the same time that they were rezoned. Therefore, the Planned
Commercial Development Zoning District Is the only zoning district that has ever been
assigned to them within the City of Boynton Beach. With regard to the Tara Oaks
property, the project was already an existing Planned Unit Development when It was
modified to Its current master plan status. Therefore, as.umlng that the Planned
Development approvals have expired for all three projects, I have no Idea what the actual
underlying zoning would be. I believe that Is why the provisions of Section 9, Article 13
were provided In the Code. As In the case of the Capitol Professional Center PCD, the
projects clearly need to be revisIted by the CIty Commission to determine whether the
existing zoning Is the most appropriate zoning and, assuming that It Is, formal action
should be taken regarding the extension of these approvals.
Needless to say, my clients are actively seeking extensions of these approvals. Despite
the economic problems which prevented these projects from moving to the next step In
the development process, there has been activities undertaken throughout the entire ~~
timeframe of the approvals to ready these projects for development. For the purpose of
your analysis regarding the status of these projects, I have prepared a summary of
activities for each project below. Additionally, I will be calling your office to set up a
meeting to review these projects with you and I will be prepared to be present at the time
of their consideration by the City Commission. At this time, I am not aware of any formal
application procedure. However, if there is an application document, we will be ready
to submit it to you promptly.
I. Tara Oaks' Planned Unit Development. This project received a rezoning
approval from P.U.D. - Planned Unit Development with a land use intensity of 4.0
to a P.U.D. - Planned Unit Development with a land use intensity of 5.0. This
project also received a land use amendment approval from Low Density
Residential to Medium Density Residential. Both of these ordinances were passed
on final reading by the City Commission on December 18, 1990.
As part of the rezoning and land use approval, the applicant entered into an
agreement with the Stonehaven Homeowner's Association which required the
applicant to commit to numerous conditions of approval including providing a
buffer wall on the project's north property line along with a twenty-five foot wide
landscape buffer and a 40' setback for all buildings from the north property line
of Tara Oaks P.U.D. (copy attached.) This agreement is still active and binding.
Since the approval of the project the applicant has done the following:
1. Pursuant to the approved master plan, the south portion of the property
was designated for utilization by a church. In fact, this property was sold
(,
..,
Ms. Tambri Heyden

...,
to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on June 26, 1992 (see
attached warranty deed). Therefore, the Planned Unit Development now
has two separate owners, the applicant and the church.
2. In order to develop this first phase for the church parcel, the applicant
requested an approval for road Improvements for the Tara Oaks P.U.D.
This request was made by Rick Rossi of Rossi a Malavasl Engineers, Inc.
to con.truet a portion of Knuth Road at the south end ot the Tara Oaks
P.U.D. to accommodate the pending purchase of the church parcel.
Subsequently, on June 2, 1992 the City Commission granted approval of
the partial Knuth Road Improvements required by the Tara Oaks P.U.D.
(see attached letter dated June 12, 1992 from Chris Cutro). Also attached
is a letter from the Boynton City Engineer dated June 19, 1992 Indicating
what additional work was required to obtain a land development permit for
the road construction. The applicant expended over $4,000.00 In
conjunction with obtaining approval of these preliminary plans.
Additionally, the applicant has obtained the previous construction plans ~."
from the previous owner which will be modified In order to obtain final
permits. (It should also be noted that over $100,000.00 has been set aside
in an escrow account to guarantee construction of this portion of Knuth
Road at such time as the church Is ready to pull building permits for the
development of the site.)
3. The applicant has complied with the zoning condition of approval to
dedicate to the City of Boynton Beach twenty-five (25) feet for Knuth Road
pursuant to the attached right-of-way deed (ORB 7324, Pg. 1159, dated
June 26, 1992).
4. The applicant has expended over $28,000.00 for the construction of the
canal crossing at the intersection of Woolbright Road and Knuth Road.
Attached is correspondence concerning the canal crossing Including:
a. A letter dated April 24, 1992 from the Department of Environmental
Resource Management Indicating that no permit would be required
pursuant to the Palm Beach County Wetlands Protection Ordinance.
b. A letter from South Florida Water Management District granting a
permit exemption dated April 29, 1992. This letter indicates that the
South Florida Water Management District will not be analyzing the
surface water management system.
