FROM: Michael E. H ag
Current Planning rdinator
DATE: July 3, 1996
SUBJECT: Riverwalk - comments for parking lot variances
File No. PKLV 96-002
Please be advised of the following comments relative to the review
of the above-referenced request:
1. It is recommended that the existing middle driveway located on
US No. 1 be closed and a new ingress/egress driveway be
constructed approximately 85 feet north of the existing
driveway. The new driveway could align with the proposed
access aisle that is located in front of the Winn-Dixie tenant
space. It is further recommended that the location of the new
driveway and the signalized pedestrian cross walk across US
No. 1 be coordinated.
2. If the commission approves the variance request submitted by
the applicant regarding the location and shape of the driveway
and access aisle of the west driveway located on Woolbright
Road, it is recommended that a triangular shaped raised
concrete median (shaped and positioned in the driveway to
divert traffic in an easterly direction), right turn only sign
and a maximum 12 foot wide exit lane be installed on-site at
the driveway. These improvements will direct the vehicles in
an easterly direction to minimize the left turn movement. The
left turn movement crosses over east bound traffic and a
stacking lane for west bound traffic turning left (south) onto
US No.1. It is further recommended that the stripping
proposed for the ingress side (west) of the existing driveway
be omitted and replaced with a raised curb landscaped island
with lawn grass. The landscape island shall extend eastward
to within 12 feet of the triangular shaped concrete median
which is shaped and positioned to allow east bound ingress
traffic only. The shape of the island shall also be extended
southward to a point that would create a 12 foot wide access
aisle opening to allow vehicles to enter the outparcel bank
site. These improvements will stop west bound traffic from
entering the site at this distance from US No. 1 and
lengthening the distance to the access to the bank will
minimize the stacking of vehicles onto US No. 1 because of
vehicles making a hairpin turn into bank site with the
existing conditions.
3. If the commission approves the variance request submitted by
the applicant regarding the length of the access aisle located
on the south side of the existing middle driveway on US No.1,
it is recommended that the eleven (11) parking spaces located
adjacent to the access aisle be omitted and replaced with a
maximum 12 foot wide one-way south bound access aisle. It is
also recommended that the unused paved area following removal
of the parking spaces and reducing the width of the access
aisle be turned into a raised curbed landscaped area that
includes trees or palms, shrubs and ground cover.
4. If the commission approves the variance request submitted by
the applicant regarding the drainage, it is recommended that
in addition to the proposed new exfiltration system pollution
control devices be installed at the two (2) storm water
outfalls into the Intracoastal Waterway and a management plan
for maintenance of the pollution control devices be approved

Memorandum No. 96-363
Riverwalk - PKLV 96-002
by the Director of Development and the Director of Planning
and Zoning. The pollution control devices would help control
the quality of water discharged into the Intracoastal. The
recommended pollution control devices and maintenance plan was
a condition of approval of the drainage variance approved by
the Planning and Zoning Board in December of 1988.

DATE:
June 12. 1996
This memorand\m1 is in reference to the followiniJ item on the T ,R,C, meetina of Jlloe 11. 1996:
Description:
Request fur variance from the Land Development Regulations Chapter 23 - Parking Lots. Article II: .
Section F - Drainage,
Request by Applicant:
To reduce the required 2.5 inches on-site containment of storm water to.5 inches of containment.
My Comment:
The applicant should have a written permit from the appropriate environmental regulatory agency (s)
fur storm water drainage into the Intracoastal Waterway, The agency (s) may not allow the reduction
in on-site containment of storm water or may require certain types of drainage filtering structures to
be installed for the proj ect.
The applicant has also requested credit fur the existing hedge/fence structure along the south property
line abutting the McDonald's Restaurant facility. The existing buffer is acceptable except for an
existing space in the hedge of 6-8' in width, The applicant should fill in this space with a matching
size of Ficus benjamina hedge plants to complete the existing hedgeline.

Rather than continue the old entrances and exits from this center, in our opinion a redesign would
better serve the project. A redesign could also provide adequate "throats" at entrances. Fire
hydrants and appropriate clearances have been provided. Parking spaces south ofWalgreens and
"Major Three" may conflict with the Fire Department's connections to the fire sprinkler system.

Department of Development, Engineering Division Memo No, 96-210
Re: Riverwalk - Second Site Plan Review
June 18, 1996
Page #2
Recommendations:
A. Reduce the width of the three east/west aisles west of the proposed Winn Dixie
store from 30' to 27', Reduce the width of the aisle in front ofWalgreens from 30'
to 24'. Use the surplus width to create two or three pedestrian paths between the
wheel stops for a safe access path from the parking lot to the Winn Dixie store.
D, Provide engineer's certification that the seawall is structurally sound and needs no
repalf,
E. Consider "Right Turn Only" markings on the Woolbright outer lane from U.S,#I
to the first driveway subject to County approval.
F, Consider removing the three parking stalls next to the striped pedestrian path from
the "M~or 3" building to Winn Dixie and align the path with the existing sidewalk.
\~
~ '\'"
Our major concerns remain as follows;
I. Project is not in compliance with Chapter 23, Parking Lots, and specifically
Section 2, Scope, page 23-1, which requires compliance ''under any of the
following conditions:
A. When a parking lot serves an existing building(s) where said building is
proposed to be enlarged or when an additional building is proposed to be
constructed; "
Both conditions apply, as the building is proposed for expansion, lIIld an additional
building is shown. Therefore drainage requirements must be satisfied.
The access point on Woolbright Road nearest Federal Highway is not only too
close to Federal, but its' geometty does not provide required throat clearance, A
much better result would occur if a single entryway were provided on Woolbright.
The access point on Federal Highway in front of the Drug Store does not provide
adequate clearance into the Drug Store parking lot and drive thru, To provide
required throat clearance, the parking lot access to the drive thru should be
completely closed or (preferred) the driveway to Federal itself should be relocated
farther north.

1. It is recommended that both existing driveways located on
Woolbright Road be closed and a new ingress/egress be constructed
approximately centrally located between both existing driveways.
The single new driveway would allow safer ingress/egress for east
bound, west bound traffic on Woolbright Road.
5
2. It is recommended that the exlting middle driveway on US No.1
be closed and a new ingress/egress be constructed north of the US
No.1 pedestrian traffic signal crossing. This new ingress/egress
would not conflict with the pedestrian crossing and avoid stacking
of vehicles into US No.1.
caus I r i S rUom''''(;;')'O'~0 r>
1. ?Change the traffic flow on the access aisle located west of the
Walgreens tenant space to one-way south bound and change the
parking layout from 900 to diagonal, This design would alleviate
traffic waving to cross in front of .on-coming traffic entering the
drive-through lanes.

POLICE DEPARTMENT /WI'
ENCLOSURES:
In reviewing the submitted plans and requested variances for this project, I find several concerns and traffic
related issues that have not been dealt with since this plaza was first established; approximately thirty years ago.
Since that time, population/traffic growth and frequency bas increased and so has the amount of vehicle and
pedestrian crashes in this area. Since the parking lot and traffic flow are being completely modified, I feel the
time is appropriate to correct some problems that exist outside, but directly related, to this shopping center.
E, Woolbright Road - There are currently two (2) driveways that access this roadway, Currently they
are both for ingress/egress traffic. This creates several problems. First, the east driveway is at the base of the
intracoastal watelWay bridge. This causes traffic to stack on the bridge incline when making a left into the
center. Traffic exiting the center, making a left turn, must do so in front of traffic increasing in speed (decline
of bridge). This driveway is approximately 100 feet of the second driveway, which further complicates vision
and congestion for vehicles making a left turn. The west driveway, is less than 180 feet from State Road 5 (S.
Federal Highway). This driveway causes frequent driver confusion, and disregard for current traffic control
sign age and roadway striping on E. Woolbright Road. Traffic exiting the center, making a left turn, frequently
block eastbound traffic when attempting to enter the westbound left turn lane or westbound travel lane. The
plans call for a reduction of this driveway, and allowance of right turn in and right turn out only. I would
maintain that this would not completely remedy the traffic problem on E. Woolbright Road. Mr. Dan
Weisberg, Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering, has reviewed this section of roadway and has supported the
following suggestion:
Allow only one major ingress/egress for E. Woolbright Road. This is to be accomplished somewhere
between the two existing driveways. This would alleviate the problems that surround both existing driveways.
Also, Palm Beach County is planning a curb extension on the southeast section of the intersection (Federal
Highway & Woolbright Road) to assist in traffic flow for eastbound traffic on E. Woolbright Road, Currently,
traffic ignores the "Right Turn Only" signage prior to Federal Highway, and continue to travel east, over
Federal Highway, and make a right turn into the shopping center, The curb extension would prohibit this from
occurring, and only one lane of travel would be allowed to !:Xist east of Federal Highway. This would also
allow for a longer right turn lane on Woolbright Road to enter the shopping center. Access to the bank property
can also be accomplished without a drastic turn from Woolbright Road.
State Road 5 (S. Federal Highway) - It is proposed to close the furthest north driveway. It is also
proposed to construct a "drive-through" for Walgreen's Drugs on the west side of the building. Both of theses
proposals complicate traffic problems that already exist. First, closing the furthest north driveway creates more
traffic flow on property that does not belong to the center. The bank that is currently there has one-way traffic
flow that is counter-clock wise. Currently there are ''NO ENTRY" signs that are posted on the access drive
from the bank to the center. Should the center wish to use the bank's driveway, I would believe that an access
agreement would have to be presented. This would bring an increased amount of traffic flow on the bank
.
~j1.-Dp € eny for traffic entering and exiting the center. This would congest the bank s current traffic flow to their
o Q. ',1fc-UP tcller window's and A TM machine. The middle (main) driveway on Federal Highway is proposed to
(Lemain as is. This creates traffic flow and code violation problems. The driveway does not allow for a 100
foot right-of-way line (or throat) on the property. This is to be complicated with the proposed "drive-through"
at Walgreen's Drug Store. Vehicular turning cannot be accomplished safely when entering from Federal
Highway. This driveway is a concern, in regards to the pedestrian crossing light. The driveway is currently
located to the south of the crossing. When the crossing light is activated to cross pedestrians, traffic exiting the
center continue to make right turns out of the center, interfering with pedestrian traveL
My suggestion for this area is to construct a new ingress/egress that would be located north of the
pedestrian traffic signaVcrossing. This would alleviate interference with that signalization and pedestrian
traveL This would also allow for the 100 foot right-of-way onto the property; in accordance to current code.
This would also allow for easier accessibility to the drive-through of Walgreen's Drugs, This would
discourage the use of the bank's driveway to access the center's property.
My suggestion for the parking area on the west side of Walgreen's Drugs would be for "one-way"
traffic only. This would be southbound travel only and create slanted parking spaces to encourage this. This
would alleviate traffic having to cross in front of on-coming traffic when entering the drive-through.

28. The floor plan will be redesigned to conform to the site plan. Winn Dixie store is reworking the floor
area plan to accomadate this request.
18. The existing shopping center has had outfall into the intracoastal for over 30 years. SFWMD has on
record sufficient examples of permitting the continued use of systems such as this one. The new
modified plan for Riverwalk has several advantages and improves the quality of the storm water
runoff. Currently the outdoor lawn and garden chemical storagc is immediately adjacent to a catch
basin allowing chemicals to enter the drainage system. The proposed plan eliminates the outdoor
storage of chemicals. The current tenant performs auto service work. This work allows amounts of
oil and service fluids to enter the storm drainage system. Currently no catch hasins are located in
grassy areas. Ibis allows unfiltered storm water to enter thc system. Currently almost no impervious
area exists on the site. The proposed plan includes the striping of a large amount of impervious
paved area. Ibis paving will be replaced with pervious areas and landscaping. Every individual item
concerning drainage has been improved. Despite the improvement of these conditions complete
compliance is impossible. A variance has been requested for the existing outfull. Precedent exists for
the granting of this request
19. Effort has been made to comply except as indicated in application for variance
20. Effort has been made to comply except as indicated in application for variance
21. One cwb cut onto US Highway 1 has been closed. The opening between the NCNB Bank and the
shopping center is subject to NCNB approval. NCNB has indicated that closing this opening would
restrict the flow of vehicles around the site, Our request was rejected.
22. Fire lane markings and signage will be provided.
23. Contractor will submit to the city for required demolition permit.
RESPONSE TO RECOMMENDATIONS, WILLIAM HUKILL, PE, CITY ENGINEER
A. The 30' width of the three east/west aisles is a requirement ofWinn Dixie.
B. Cart storage areas will be moved next to existing light poles wherever possible.
C, Egress lanes 12' and ingress lanes 14' will be striped
D. Repairs to that portion of the seawall that is on our property will be permitted for by contractor. We
recommend that the city notify the adjacent property owner as to their responsibility for seawall
repair.
E. Right turn only markings on Woolbright entry will be submitted to Palm Beach County.
F. We are not able at this time to remove these three parking spaces. We will revisit this item after the
site planing if the site criteria can afford the modification we will consider it then.

. One of the two adjacent entry drives in the northwest comer of the property is being
closed. The drive from the NCNB property into the shopping center requires the
agreement ofNCNB to modify. NCNB has only one way access counter clockwise
through their parking area. The are not willing to make a modification as if this was
closed customers leaving the parking spaces would have to reenter US I or proceed
into the drive through to enter the center. We do believe that the recommendation of
closing the curhcut, driveway entrance from US I will help address this concern.

Dear Tambri: 'i ~ (I
In consideration of the recent information regarding the existing drainage ?:'ru:nce I would request
that the comments from the Engineering Department and P& Z Department be revised to
acknowledge that a variance exists for the 2.5" requirement.
It is our opinion that no additional variance is required provided we construct the control structures
that are required in the existing variance. I would like to meet with you as soon as possible.
We have redesigned the entry drive in front ofWalgreens taking into consideration some of the
issues that were discussed at our last meeting. This design meets the intent of the unobstructed
movement for cars entering the property for a right turn or to continue straight.

E&H Properties, Inc.

Woolbright Road, southeast corner
See Addendum "B" attached to the
original copy of these minutes in
the Office of the City Clerk
Request for a variance to Section
5-142(h)(3) and Section 5-142
(h)(7) "Driveways" of the Parking
Lot Regulations.
Miss Heyden discussed the three requests from Causeway
Square Shopping Center at this time as they were all
related. She stated that the old Grand Union grocery store
was to be convered into a location for the Ben Franklin
store. Parking would be upgraded and three variances were
being requested. The first request involves the three
driveways which currently exist on South Federal Highway.
Description:
The second request is necessary as the northern-most drive-
way is within 180 feet of the intersection rights-of-way
lines of South Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. One of
the two existing driveways onto Woolbright Road (the
western-most) is within 180 feet of the same intersection.
The TRB recommended approval of this request as submitted.
The applicant has agreed to make one of the three existing
driveways onto Federal Highway (the southern-most) a one-
way, exit only drive. The driveway onto Woolbright Road
whiah is within 180 feet of the interesetion is used to
access the platted outparcel at the southeast corner of the
interesection (Carteret Bank). A cross access agreement
exists between the shopping center and the bank. The
history of traffic accidents in the vicinity does not indi-
cate that the current driveway design at the shopping center
has significantly contributed to accidents.
The applicant is also requesting that the existing storm-
water discharge into the Intracoastal Waterway be allowed to
continue. The TRB recommended this request be subject to
- 14 -
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
DECEMBER 13, 1988
the construction of pollution control devices at the two
storm water outfalls into the Intracoastal Waterway and
submittal of a management plan for maintenance of the pollu-
tion control devices to the City Engineer. Miss Heyden
noted that maintenance is very important if the pollution
device is to work properly. It would be a hardship to
require that retention areas be installed as the parking lot
paving would have to be removed at considerable cost. The
applicant will add landscaped islands in the parking lot.
The third request is site plan approval to allow for eleva-
tion change to the vacant supermarket and change in parking
lot layout and design for the Ben Franklin store. The TRB
recommended approval of this request subject to staff com-
ments.
Brenda Arnold, Kilday & Associates, 1551 Forum Place, Suite
100A, West Palm Beach, was present to represent" the appli-
cant. She stated that this shopping center is 20 years old
and there were many problems they had tried to rectify. The
parking lot is paved from property line to property line.
The markings were to be upgraded as well as the handicapped
parking spaces. The dumpsters would be screened with a 6'
wall and landscaping would be added. Presently there is no
landscaping or green space. The site would not allow them
to make all the changes they would like to make, and they
would not be able to bring all up to Code. They were having
a problem providing enough parking, but with careful
planning had come up with just enough to meet code. She
felt that once the Ben Franklin is finished more people will
be coming into the center to shop and the rest of the center
will probably have a better occupancy rate. The TRB has
approved the variances requested subject to staff comments.
Mr. Richter asked if Ms. Arnold had any problem with the
staff comments, and she replied that she was in agreement
with the staff comments. They were working on the signage
situation and it was their understanding that they have
three years to bring this up to the new code. Mr. Richter
as~ed if they were repairing the seawall, and Ms. Arnold
replied that they were as this was to their advantage as
well. The parking lot was being undermined and it was
necessary to make the seawall repairs.
Chairman Walshak asked how the polution devices would work.
Rick Rossi, Rossi and Malavasi, stated that his firm had
done the enigneering for the pollution abatement process.
They had used a system which has been used throughout the
South Florida Flood Control District. He explained that the
system works much like a grease trap. The oils and sediment
- 15 -

are separated and contained and can then be removed by
access from the top of the box.
Mrs. Huckle asked if Ms. Arnold represented the project at
the TRB meetings, and Ms. Arnold stated that she was. Mrs.
HucKle questioned the use.of the southerly Highway curb cut
to remain as long as it was a one-way exit. Ms. Arnold
agreed and stated this was decided because of the trucking
flow. The trucks exit I-95, come in off Woolbright, go into
the center and exit out onto Woolbright Road and to I-95.
Mrs. Huckle had looked at this as being an entrance to pre-
vent some of the jamming up at the next entrance. She had
not thought about the truck situation.
Mrs. Huckle stated that on most of the shopping centers
approved recently. the Board has felt that it works well for
the exists out of shopping centers to contain a double exit
- one for right and one for left turn. She referred to the
Sunshine Square publix store and Oakwood Square. She noted
this had worked very well. She had looked at the Causeway
Square and saw a couple of areas where this would not work.
She did feel the one coming out of K-Mart and turning right
toward the bridge would work well with the two lanes. Mr.
Aguila stated that this does not appear to have 27' of space
and to make another lane would cause them to have to give up
the landscaped island. Ms. Arnold noted that they have a
very critical parking problem. At present they have a
buffer of only two spaces. Since this is an exising center
she felt these were needed to maintain the parking required.
If they do have excess, they will be glad to put in the
additional turn lane. Ms. Arnold also stated that another
problem they have is the existing agreement with Carteret.
Mr. Annunziato stated that the problem is that they are at
or near the number of required parking spaces. To add a
left turn lane at that eastern most entrance may require
eliminating one parking space and put them into a Code
problem. He recommended that if they remain above the mini-
mum requirements, that they install a turn lane. He did not
want to throw them into a Code violation.
Mr. Aguila asked if all the islands ,indicated would be
landscaped and have raised curbs. Ms. Arnold stated that
all but a couple would be, but they were trying to leaving
the existing light fixtures to avoid any additional costs.
Shade trees would be placed in all the interior parking
islands and would be fully irrigated. Ms. Arnold felt that
by working with staff to get the building remodeled for Ben
Franklin an improvement in the site would result. She
acknowledged that for her as a site planner. the plans were
- 16 -
MINUTES - PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
BOYNTON BEACH. FLORIDA
DECEMBER 13, 1988
less than desirable, but this center is 20 years old. The
plans would certainly be an improvement. Mr. Richter agreed
this would be quite an improvement as far as the looks are
concerned.
Mr. Annunziato spoke on behalf of staff recommendations. He
felt that the City would be getting a tremendous upgrade for
a substandard shopping center which would probably not occur
if the variances were not approved. He referred to the
pollution abatement system and noted that this came about as
a result of a recommendation he had made. Mr. Annunziato
referred to a time when Colonel Trauger was Mayor. At that
time he required the property owners to "wash their face,
and comb their hair." He felt the improvements to Sunshine
Square, although modest, were somewhat responsive to the
plea from Colonel Trauger.
Mrs. Huckle asked if the Ben Franklin was going to be a
large one. and Ms. Arnold stated that it would not occupy
all of the Grand Union space. She was not aware of any
other tenants at this time. Mr. Richter felt that it was
commendable that common sense was used on everyone's part to
put this project together.
As no one wished to speak for or against the requests, THE
PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED.
Motion on Request for Variance to Section 5-142(h)(3) and
Section 5-142(h) (7) "Driveways" of the Parking Lot

RIVERW ALK SHOPPING CENTER
BOYNTON BEACH, FL
DRAINAGE VARIANCE
April 1996
The proposed Riverwalk Shopping Center is the remodeling of an existing, fully developed
project located on the southeast comer of U.S. Highway No.1 and S.E. 15th Ave (Woolbright
Road). At the time of construction, nearly 30 years ago, the City's development ordinances had
no requirements for storm water detention, Current City Ordinances require containment
capacity of 2.5". Since the existing site is fully developed and has no appreciable facilities for
storm water containment, it would prove to be an "exceptional difficulty" to provide the entire
requirement of storm water containment and hence a variance is requested.
The containment of the first 2.5" of runoff is to allow the removal of dirt, grit and any other
surface materials prior to the storm water leaving the site. The proposed site has been designed
to maximize the storm water containment. The designers have selected to utilize the proposed
landscaping areas and construct underground exfiltration within any new drainage lines proposed.
Approximately 17,000 square feet of landscaping areas have been added to the interior of the
site which has resulted in .2" of storm water containment. Over three hundred feet of
underground exfiltration can be accommodated in the proposed site plan. The proposed
underground exfiltration will provide an additional .3" of storm water containment. The owner
has also pledged to provide daily sweepings of the parking areas to reduce the amount of dirt
which could enter the storm water system. This method reduces the need for storm water
containment for dirt removal but presently, there is no quantitative credit given for this practice.
The proposed plan will also eliminate two sources of environmental concern, The present site
has the outdoor storage of lawn and garden chemicals and auto repairs are performed. Any
spillage or leakage from either of these two activities goes directly into the Intercoastal
Waterway.
This variance request from the 2.5" of storm water containment to .5" of containment for the
proposed plan on this existing site, will allow for the elimination of two potential sources of
environmental concern and the upgrading of the existing storm water management system to
provide for .5" of storm water containment where there is currently none. A preapplication
meeting has been held with the South Florida Water Management District with Mr. Ken Talver
and Mr, Carlos DeRojas. The District did not object to our proposal to provide .5" containment
for this existing site.

. Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment for Public Storage - The applicant
requested a postponement to the October City Commission meeting. However, the
City Commission decided not to honor the applicant's request, and took action on the
application. The application was denied. The applicant has submitted a request to
the City Manager's Office for reconsideration. There is no information available
relative to whether or not a reconsideration will be granted.
. Conditional Use and Parking Lot Variance for Riverwalk Shopping Center -
Both applications were approved subject to all Planning and Development Board
recommendations and staff comments that were not in conflict with the board's
recommendations.
. Site Plan for Healing for the Nations Church - This application was approved
subject to the board's recommendations.
Ms. Heyden reminded the members that at the last meeting, mention was made about the
landscaping at Tiffany's. Code Enforcement sent Tiffany's a courtesy violation on August 8 which
puts them on notice that the site must be brought up to' the landscaping reflected on the most recent
site plan.
Mr. Aguila advised Ms, Heyden that all of the streetside landscaping is missing from the Atrium
Shopping Center on Federal Highway. He reminded her that the applicant was mandated to install
that landscaping when he came to the City to talk about building colors and opening the driveway
on Federal Highway. Other than grass, the applicant has never installed a tree or hedge. Ms.
Heyden will investigate this situation.
Chairman Dubs pointed out that although the board is spending a great deal of time on these types
of issues, it is time well spent because the present City Commission has been endorsing the board's
recommendations relative to landscaping.
Ms. Heyden advised that Blockbuster has requested a postponement until the next meeting on
September 10.
Chairman Dub8 questioned why this application was received without a plan submittal. Ms. Heyden
advised that corporate identity means everything to Blockbuster. It is her opinion that prior to going
into the site plan process, they want to find out if they will be able to get their lighted awning.
Vice Chairman Golden suggested that this type of request be tied to the site plan approval process
so that an applicant cannot come in with an incomplete package.
Mr. Aguila did not have an objection to an applicant trying to "feel out" the board because if the
community is adamant on some of these standards, the applicants can then find another location.
We have dealt with many corporate identity applicants. Some of those applicants have changed
to our way of thinking, and others have moved on to other communities.
Ms. Heyden advised that she did not have a problem with the site plan submission not being
included. However, she would like to have seen more details on the elevations.
