buildings. Mr, Bryan said all staff comme~ts have been reviewed and that staff has
been very helpful.
Mr, Bryan requested to address Item #12 under engineering, Mr. Bryan said that when
the Master Plan was approved there was discussion regarding the widths of right-of-way
being 40' versus 50', This Board and the City Commission approved the widths of the
right-of-way at 40'. The rights-of-way have sidewalks on both sides of the internal
streets, Mr, Bryan said he has concerns regarding the wording in the comment and
noted that it was a consulting engineer and not house staff that said it was inappropriate
for this Board to approve 40' right-of-ways, ..
..
Chairman Wische noted that the City Commission previously approved the Master Plan
Modification, including the 40' wide right-of-way in Phases 3A and 3B, Chairman
Wische stated that the Board had approved the 40' right-of-ways and the comment
should be rejected. Mr. Rumpf stated Chairman Wische was correct, Mr. Rumpf said
there seems to be inconsistencies in interpreting the Code and the application of the
regulations into the PUD regulations, Chairman Wische questioned why staff would
insert the comment if the right-of-ways had already been approved for phase 3 etc, Mr.
Rumpf stated the engineer feels that his credibility is on the line if he endorses
something he feels was done incorrectly, Mr, Rumpf said that this comment resulted
from review by Jan Jensen Engineering through contractual arrangements with the City.

Mr, Dube stated that a new sign code is needed,
Ms, Frazier stated she would like to see the Commissioners at the Planning and
Development meetings, Chairman Wische stated that the Commissioners used to
come to the meetings and then all of a sudden they stopped coming, Mr, Rosenstock
inquired what Commission Chairman Wische was referring to, Chairman Wische

Chairman Wische said the new Commission should learn what this Board goes through,
to make it easy for them when they get their agenda, Chairman Wische stated they
might not know what the Board goes through with regard to staff comments, etc,
Mr. Rosenstock said that the Board has enumerated several items to the Planning and
Development Department. Mr, Rosenstock said he would like to see those items on the
agenda in order to ask the Commission specifically if they intended to pass ordinances
to implement those changes in the Code, For example, the size of lettering on the
monument or pole signs and how the City intends to implement the existing ones. Mr,
Rosenstock said that the comprehensive plan can only be changed once a year and Mr,
Rosenstock would like to know if there are any recommendations to change the
comprehensive plan. Mr. Rosenstock said he disc~sed with the former Mayor and
some of the Commissioners about what could be placed on the Intracoastal Waterway.

staff, on what this Board can do to improve the City and that is why this Board is here to
fight for a higher standard.
Mr. Myott stated he would like to discuss the Guardian Storage Sign on Congress
Avenue, Mr. Myott said in the future signs like this should be rejected and the applicant
should come back with a new design.
Mr. Rosenstock said he has received 12 to 15 complaints about a project that was
approved in the City, which are the apartments on the west side of Congress Avenue,
north of Gateway, which is called "Via Lugano". Ms. Cleary said the complex is ugly.
Mr. Rosenstock said he voted against the project.
Mr. Rosenstock said there should be a count of how many rental apartments there are
in the City, Mr. Rosenstock thinks that the City has peaked and the City should now look
for more moderate to expensive type homes or some type of commercial development.
Mr. Myott said we should "gate the City". Mr. Rosenstock said we should "gate the
County". .
After discussion, it was determined that the following items should be considered for
discussion at the workshop: .
. Street addresses being placed on signs;
· Review of the comprehensive plan with regard to changes to various areas of
the City (land use);
. Garages, automobile repair shops;
. Apartment rental units;
. Sale of gasoline.
Mr. Hay said he would like to know how many liquor sUItes there are in Boynton Beach

did not think there was a limit. Mr, Rumpf said he would not put this on the agenda, but
will have some information for Mr, Hay,
Mr. DuM asked why the City doesn't pay attention to the submission of HOA
documents, Most HOA documents stipulate that the City cannot issue a permit to an
individual unless the HOA approves it first. Mr. DuM said that the City issues permit
after permit without getting anything from the Homeowner's Association, Ms. Byrne
stated that there is no code on the book that would require the City to enforce the HOA
regulations and the City would be opposed to that. Ms, Byrne stated that in order for
the City to maintain Standard Building Codes, the City couldn't become a private
policing agent for every Homeowners Association.

entry feature, Mr, Sluggett referred to the artist's drawing of the building and pointed
out the color accent on the building, which is basically red and blue, Mr. Rumpf noted
that the Party Store in the Boynton Commons has a multiple color sign. Mr. Sluggett
stated that along the Boynton Beach Boulevard corridor there is signage that has the
same colors and the colors are carried out throughout the area.
Mr. Sluggett said that the top dimension of the color accent is 15" and the lower accent
has two tiles, which is 1Q". Mr. Rosenstock asked why the applicant chose these
colors.. Mr. Sluggett stated those are the standard ABC corporate colors.
Mr. Rumpf presented a photograph of an ABC store located in the north part of the
County and this particular store does not have multiple colors on the building or sign.
Ms. Phyllis Fitzpatrick, Construction Coordinator for ABC took the podium and stated
that the photographs that Mr. Rumpf presented are of a liquor store that was remodeled
in Palm Beach Gardens, Ms, Fitzpatrick stated that Palm Beach Gardens has a sign
code, which only allows one color on the sign besides the color of white, Also, Palm
Beach Gardens has strict architectural guidelines and has a written color scheme in
their code, Ms, FitzpatriCk stated they were forced tOTemodel that store in this fashion.
Mr. Sluggett stated the design for the Boynton store is a unique design and is consistent
with the area, Mr, Sluggett distributed photographs to members of different buildings in
the area for comparison,
Mr. Sluggett said originally the applicant was proposing a pole sign, but at staffs
recommendation, the sign will be changed to a monument sign, Mr, Sluggett said the
applicant would like to keep the blue and red accent on the building, since it is the
corporate logo,
Chairman Wische stated he had check off comment #20 and said it was comparing
everything to Boynton Common Shopping Center and Chairman Wische did not think

that was a fair comparison, Chairman Wische said the front of the building is on
Boynton Beach Boulevard and should be compatible with the buildings along Boynton
Beach Boulevard. Chairman Wische noted that most of the signs in Boynton Commons
are all different.
Mr. Rosenstock said he disagreed with Chairman Wische and said he is diametrically
opposed to what Chairman Wische said, Mr. Rosenstock said there has to be a time
and place when the City puts down its foot and says I don't care what was built before.
The City wants to look a certain way and this has been attempted for many years. Mr.
Rosenstock said that someone has to take a stand and state what they want the City to
look like. not what is already there, but as each developer comes in we want them to
comply.~with a new feel that we want the City to have,
Mr, Rosenstock said the plan shows no origination or architectural integrity and is
nothing more than a box placed on a parking lot with some trees. Mr, Rosenstock said
he cannot support this application and suggested the applicant go back to the drawing
board and do something about landscaping, color and architectural design.
Mr, Sluggett said that staffs co'mments recommend that they look at the architecture of
Boynton Commons and since the original conceptual plan, they have brought in some of
the architectural features that are found in Boynton Commons, Mr, Sluggett pointed out
the similarities to their project and the Boynton Commons,
Mr. Rosenstock asked Mr, Sluggett if the applicant would comply with comment #20,
Mr. Sluggett said he would like to hear from the other Board members first. Mr.
Rosenstock asked Mr, Sluggett again if they would comply.ith comment #20. Mr,
Sluggett requested to review each item individually.
Chairman Wische stated there are seven separate col)'lrnents to item 20 and the only
has been addressed so far and that is (a). Mr, Rosenstock said he is a member of this
Board and is entitled to an answer, Chairman Wische said until the applicant hears
from the remainder of the Board, he did not know how the applicant could answer the
question, Mr, Rosenstock asked Chairman Wische if he was ruling him out of order.
Chairman Wische said he is not ruling Mr, Rosenstock out of order, but said Mr.
Rosenstock should wait for the other members' comments before the question could be
answered,
Mr, Rosenstock asked Attorney Cirullo if he was entitled to an answer for item (a) as a
member of this Board. Attomey Cirullo said that there would be an answer and that the
Chair controls the meeting.

Mr. Myott said he agrees 100% with Mr. Rosenstock, Mr. Myott said the back of
Boynton Commons looks better than the front of this building, Mr, Myott did not think
the building has any character at this point and it needs a lot of attention, Mr. Myott said
this is the same scenario that the Board has faced many times, which is a standard
beeline box, Mr. Myott felt that as a new development it should have some character
and he cannot support the elevation as presented.
Mr. Hay said he would go along with what has been said.
Ms. Frazier said it looks like a factory to her.
..
Mr. Dube said he agrees with Mr. Rosenstock,
Mr, Friedland said he agrees with Mr. Rosenstock.
Chairman Wische told Mr, Rosenstock he could now ask the question and Mr.
Rosenstock said he did not care to ask the question.
Mr. Sluggett said that they had looked at what would be compatible to Boynton Beach
corridor and they feel the building is compatible with the different shopping centers in
the immediate area.
Mr. Myott stated that the applicant had compared their building to much older buildings
and that the standards have changed and that the old buildings no longer apply,
Mr. Friedland stated that ABC Liquor must have many architectural plans throughout the
chain and that there should be something that could be worked out that would be
agreeable to the Board,
"
Secondly, Mr, Friedland asked Mr. Rumpf how his staff approved the design with the
comments suggested.
Mr. Rumpf stated as far as use, it is a retail use and is an allowed use within the area,
Mr, Sluggett asked specifically what the members were opposed to and Chairman
Wische said it was the design of the building itself as being a square box, Mr, Sluggett
said he would like to address comment 20(g), which deals with removal of the logo sign
from the west fayade, Chairman Wische asked what the sign said and Mr, Sluggett
stated "fine wine and spirits., Chairman Wische questioned why staff would
recommend that this be removed, Mr. Sluggett stated that the project is on the comer
of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Winchester Boulevard and any vehicles approaching

Boynton Beach Boulevard from the north on Winchester would not know what the retail
establishment is. Mr. Sluggett asked that they be allowed to maintain that sign on the
west side.
Mr. Rumpf stated that the other buildings along Winchester Boulevard do not have
identification signs on the sides and backs of the buildings. Mr, Rumpf said that staff
was looking for consistency in the general area,
Mr, Rosenstock felt that ABC was picking the worst of the design, as opposed to the
best of design and that they should try to achieve a higher quality, Mr. Rosenstock
stated that Mr, Rumpf is trying to use his authority to develop a community design plan
for buildings that would be the best of Boynton Beach and not bring the City down with
bad designs.
(Chairman Wische welcomed Commissioner Denahan to the meeting,)
Chairman Wische said that the. discussion needn't continue any further. but informed
Mr. Sluggett that they could present the project to the City Commission. Chairman
Wische asked the applicant if they would like to table their request.
Mr, Rosenstock said he would be. willing to approve the project if it were subject to
complete compliance with all staff comments, Mr, Sluggett suggested that the matter
be postponed. Mr. Rumpf said this was not an advertised item. therefore legal
advertisements and timeframes do not restrict staff.
Mr. Sluggett requested that he be given time to confer with his clients, Mr, Sluggett
requested that the matter be tabled until the June 8111 meeting of the Planning and

Attorney Cirullo was requested to administer the oath to the witnesses at the podium.
Mr. Richard L. Sun and Mr. Steve McCraney were sworn in (Mr, Rick Rossi had been
previously administered the oath), Mr. Rossi stated he was the owner of the property.
Chairman Wische stated that there were 32 staff comments and asked the agent which
comments they wished to address or did not agree with, Mr, Sun requested to
address Item #25.
Vice Chair Dube noted that this is the first time that he can remember seeing a
comment from the Forester. Mr. Rumpf stated it is common policy for un-landscaped
medians to require the adjacent developers to provide for the medians, Mr. Rossi
reminded the Board that there were originally four lanes on SW 30th Street in the early
1980's, The lot he is selling to the petitioner is the last lot remaining in the Lawson
Industrial. area, Mr. Rossi stated that the petitioner's property only represents one-
sixteenth of the median that would be benefiting all the property owners and the cost of
landscaping the median should be borne by all adjacent owners, Also, Mr, Rossi stated
that this requirement should have been provided for during the platting process and not '
at this late date and suggested that the property owners' association be approached to
share in the cost.
Mr, Myott stated he is familiar with other municipalities that ask that a certain amount of
dollars be contributed towards the beautification of a substandard median, Mr, Myott
inquired if the median were landscaped, who would maintain' it and was informed by Mr.
Rumpf that the City would maintain the median. Also, the petitioner is only being asked
to landscape the median that directly abuts their property, not the entire median,
Mr. Rosenstock questioned the petitioner's reluctance to landscape their part of the
median since the amount of money necessary to do this would probably not cost much
more than $2,000, or perhaps a little more, Also, the petitioner would be beautifying his
portion of the street.
Mr. Dube asked Mr, Rossi what his connection was with the project and Mr, Rossi
stated he owned the property, which is under contract for sale with the petitioner, Mr.
DuM said that Mr, Rossi was out of order and that he was arguing on behalf of the
petitioner and that he is not the applicant.
Mr. Rosenstock asked Mr, Rossi if he was a paid agent at the present time and Mr,
Rossi stated he was not. Mr, Rosenstock asked Chairman Wische to rule Mr, Rossi out
of order and if he has anything to say, his comments should be made during the public
hearing portion of the meeting, Chairman Wische stated that since the Assistant City

Attorney agreed with the Board member's comments, Chairman Wische asked Mr.
Rossi to be seated, Mr, Rossi took his seat.
Mr. Sun said that the applicant had no other comments,
Mr, DuM reminded the applicant that he only had to landscape the median that is in
front of his property, Mr, Rumpf pointed out the area in question on the site plan. Mr,
Rumpf stated the area was 243' and would estimate that the applicant would be
responsible for only that amount of median. Mr. McCraney noted there were seven
medians in the park and one cul-de-sac and to have one portion of the median in the
middle of the park landscaped did not seem appropriate. Mr. Dube said it was a start.
Mr. McCraney did not think there would ever be a finish,
Mr. Myott thought the City might use this as a precedent and get things started. Mr.
McCraney said he would be glad to partiCipate with the other property owners, but it is
something that should be shared through the association. and that he should only have
to be responsible for one-sixteenth of the median. Mr, McCraney said it would cost,
nearly $6,000 to do this and that the. entire project itself only costs $500,000, of which
$250,000 is the sale price and felt it was unfair as a small businessman to be burdened
with this, Mr. Rosenstock asked why Mr. McCraney would be concerned about $6,000
and Mr. McCraney said he is always concerned about every dollar that comes out of his
pocket.
Mr, DuM noted that the Forester used the word "must., not "suggesr and asked Mr,
Rumpf if this was correct, Mr, Rumpf stated that the origin of this requirement is from
the comprehensive plan policy, but Mr, Rumpf did not recall the exact language in the
comprehensive plan.
Mr. McCraney noted that they agreed to all 34 comments except for one and felt they
were being punished unfairly, Mr. McCraney said that he is expected to water the
median and maintain it. Mr, Rosenstock informed Mr, McCraney that he would not be
responsible for the irrigation and maintenance, once the landscaping is put in. Mr.
Rumpf concurred that the applicant discontinues his obligation at the completion of
construction, The irrigation system will be hooked up to a City water line,
Chairman Wische announced the public hearing, Hearing no comments, Chairman
Wische closed the public hearing.
