If the Commission approves the
variance request regarding the
driveway distance and access aisle
length 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), a 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. It is further recommended
that the striping 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 eastbound 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 westbound
traffic from entering the site at this
point from US NO.1. Lengthening the
distance to the bank access will
minimize the stacking of vehicles onto
US No. 1 due to a current hairpin turn
into the bank,
If the Commission approves the
variance request 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
resulting from removal of the parking
spaces and reduction of the access
aisle width be turned into a raised
curbed landscaped area that includes
trees or palms, shrubs and ground
cover,

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 16, 1996
Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II: 1) Section F -
Drainage, to reduce the required 2.5 inches on-site
containment of storm water to .5 inches; 2) Section H.3
- Distance from streets, to reduce the required distance
from the intersection of US NO.1 and Woolbright Road
of the west driveway located on Woolbright Road from
180 feet to 158.5 feet; and 3) Section H.5 - Clearance
at major driveways, to reduce the required distance of
the interior access aisle to the west driveway on
Woolbright Road from 100 feet to 25 feet and the
existing middle driveway on US NO.1. from 100 feet to
87 feet and 25 feet for the access aisles on the north
and south sides (respectively).
Michael Carey introduced his partner Rob Levy, and Lee Starky, the Project Engineer.
He distributed a summary of his comments of the conditions which he wanted to be
included as part of the record. He advised that he accepts the conditions that the Planning
and Development Board recommended when they approved the project. Mr. Carey
explained that the variances pertain to the site plan approval and the conditional use.
. The first variance is for the distance from the intersection on Woolbright Road for
the first driveway entering the shopping center. It is currently 158.5' from the
intersection right-of-way. The Code requires it to be 180'. The applicant is
requesting a variance for that 21.5'.
This is an existing entrance to the shopping center. Staff recommended that certain items
be taken into account during construction in the event the variance is passed. They asked
that a triangle raised median be added to direct traffic as a right-turn out only. That would
create a right-turn in and right-turn out only situation. They further asked for the addition
of signage to this effect, and an extension of the curb along the bank entrance to better
accommodate cars coming off Woolbright Road.
. The second variance is for the length of the access aisles. The Code requires 100'
clear when you enter the driveway before you can make a turn into the parking lot
access aisles.
The existing site plan configuration cannot accommodate that request in a couple of
places. The applicant was able to accommodate the request in full in the main drive on
Woolbright. However, they have not reached the 100' on the main entrance on US #1.
On the north side, it is approximately 87', and on the south side it is approximately 25'.
If the variance is approved, staff recommended that the applicant remove the parking
spaces along US #1 south of the entrance drive so that cars backing out of those spaces
cannot encumber the entering traffic and to provide an easier right turn movement through
20

REGULAR CITY COMMISSION

the area of the drive-through. The applicant has agreed to do this if the variance is
approved, and feels it is a good plan which accommodates the concern. By removing the
spaces and adding landscaping, the spaces would be unencumbered. He reminded the
Commissioners that he is utilizing the existing driveway locations.
Mayor Taylor asked if Mr. Carey had plans to improve the back of the shopping center. Mr.
Carey responded affirmatively. The center will be repaved, the facades will be changed
and upgraded, and site lighting will be increased. In addition, the applicant is removing the
existing 10,000 square foot retail store which is currently set back (coin laundry and
restaurant). That will free up access around the building and open up the site. Mr. Carey
said there was a variance on this in 1988 or 1989 for driveway entrance locations.
Commissioner Bradley asked what would prevent someone exiting the drive-through and
making a U-turn to go back into the parking area. Mr. Carey said there is an intention to
have a hook on the landscape islands which will be marked "No Entry". This is a one-way
access only as recommended by staff.
. The third variance pertains to the on-site dry retention requirement. The current
requirement is for 2.5" of on-site containment. The applicant is proposing .5". The
applicant is meeting all other requirements of drainage. This particular requirement
cannot be achieved.
Mr. Carey explained that this is the containment of 2.5" over the surface of the site. This
water settles out in a containment area so that the solids in it settle prior to the water
flowing out into the Intracoastal Waterway. In engineering, the first parts of the drainage
are the dirtiest. The applicant intends to collect the first .5".
In addition, if the variance is approved, staff recommended that the applicant construct two
storm water outfall pollution control devices. These devices would also catch more
sediment. A maintenance contract would be provided guaranteeing that these devices
would be cleaned on a regular basis. The applicant has agreed to these conditions. Mr.
Carey advised that in 1988 or 1989, a variance was approved for zero inches of on-site
containment, and only two control devices.
Commissioner Bradley asked how Mr. Carey intends to collect the first .5" of water. Mr.
Carey advised that catch basins are being added in the parking area that will be tied into
the existing system. In addition, underground containment areas (French drains) are being
added. .
Commissioner Bradley questioned whether some of that .5" would be going down the old
drains and directly into the Intracoastal. Mr. Carey explained that the system will be tied
together. Before it goes to the Intracoastal, it will hit the two pollution control devices. In
addition, 17,000 square feet of permeable surface area is being added. The new catch
basins are being added into grassy areas so that the water will be additionally filtered by

the landscape areas prior to its outfall. In addition, there is regular maintenance on the
parking lot which includes sweeping. This is an important factor which is not calculated in
the engineering.
Commissioner Tillman understood that the purpose of the French drains is to leave the
sediment on top. He wondered if they will become clogged. Mr. Carey agreed that the
possibility exists; however, the parking lot should be well maintained. This site has no
history of site flooding in the parking area. The parking area will be repaved, and some
minor adjustments will be made to take care of areas that have been identified as
problematic. There are some areas on the northeast of the site that do not drain properly.
The applicant does not anticipate a problem with flooding.
Mr. Carey explained that these three variance requests directly correspond to the request
for the drive-through and site plan approval.
Ms. Heyden advised the Commission that the previous variances that were referenced by
Mr. Carey were specific to a site plan which involved minor modifications to the building.
In relation to this application, those variances are no longer applicable. .
In exchange for denial of the variance for the driveway (closing it), it is suggested that the
Commission consider a connection so that the cars coming in could turn to get to the bank
without having to go through the shopping center. This would require a variance. The City
Attorney recommends readvertising that variance which could be done within ten days.
Commissioner Tillman had a problem with this suggestion. Anyone entering, looking for
a parking space, will back up traffic into Woolbright.
Mr. Carey said it is his opinion that the two driveways provide a better plan than one
driveway. The recommendation by Ms. Heyden is new to the applicant. It was not that
part of the first plan review or the second comments. In addition, the site plan for this
application for the restaurant is marked to indicate that it will come back separately for site
review. Although the driveways will exist at that point, they are existing driveways that have
been in place for almost 30 years. Closing the first driveway (closest to the bank) would
require the applicant to have an agreement with the owners of the bank. The applicant
does not have that approval and requested that this new condition be discussed with staff
when the site plan for the restaurant is submitted. Trading one variance for another is not
a good plan at this time.
Mayor Taylor said he drove through this site to look at the situation, and agrees that the
driveway has been in place for 30 years and has not been problematic. The problem he
sees is entering the last entrance off US #1 by the bank. There is nothing at that location
indicating that no left-turn is permitted. There should be a one-way sign installed.
22
MEETING MINUTES
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JULY 16, 1996
Mr. Carey advised that he will be closing that entrance which is on his property just south
of the bank's entrance on US #1.
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz does not agree with closing the first driveway on Woolbright Road.
She feels a traffic hazard will be created. This driveway has been functioning for 30 years,
and she is unaware of any traffic surveys indicating problems in that area. She believes
the two driveways will result in less difficulty that having only one driveway.
Commissioner Bradley disagreed with these remarks. The fact that it is under the 180'
standard is critical. The standard exists for a good reason. Although the ingress/egress
that is farther to the east may have the same number of cars, it is further from the
intersection.
Mr. Carey reiterated that this will be limited to right-turn in and right-turn out by construction
of a concrete divider. There will be no left-turn outs. Commissioner Bradley still expressed
strong feelings about the 180' standard. He asked if Mr. Carey would consider staff's
suggestion to allow access through the outparcel to access the bank.
Mayor Taylor did not have the same feelings expressed by Commissioner Bradley and
staff.
Commissioner Titcomb stated that he has used this shopping center often and feels it
works pretty well. This is also a lead off the bridge. The bridge goes to a "T -head" on A 1 A.
This is not a major-thoroughfare other than to turn north or south. He is comfortable that
the site plan for the restaurant will come in separately and if there is detection of a
problem, it can be addressed at that time and restrictions can be put in place. He is very
comfortable that the two driveways will alleviate problems rather than create them.
Commissioner Tillman asked if it would be possible for the applicant to straighten out the
turn associated with the second entrance to Woolbright Road rather than having it swerve
through the parking lot. Mr. Carey said he addressed that issue, but it was not possible to
change the configuration because the grade of the bridge begins in that location on
Woolbright Road. In addition, he reminded the Commissioners that he was attempting to
use the existing driveways.
There is no requirement for distance between driveways in Boynton Beach. At the first
driveway, the road is wider. The road narrows as you approach the second driveway. The
first driveway is important. It will work as a reliever entrance. Once it is properly
designated, landscaped and built with the dividers and curbs, it will be clear to the people
who use it. Overall, the improvements to the site are substantial. Commissioner Bradley
agreed that Mr. Carey put together a proposal that will be a vast improvement over what
currently exists. He explained, however, that he has his personal opinions about the
stacking in this area.

In response to a question from Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz, Ms. Heyden said the TRC
recommendation is for denial of all variances. Mr. Carey reminded the Commissioners that
the conditions have an added condition that if the variances are approved, other items
must be accomplished. Mr. Carey is willing to accomplish those items. He feels this is a
good "middle ground".
MAYOR TAYLOR ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS NO ONE
PRESENT WHO WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS APPLICATION.
Motion
Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz moved to grant approval of all three variances subject to staff
comments #8, #9, and #10. Commissioner Tillmar:J seconded the motion.
Mayor Taylor confirmed with Ms. Heyden that this motion includes the comments made by
the Planning and Development Board.
Commissioner Bradley said he will vote in favor of this application, but requested that the
record reflect his opposition to the issue of the distance from the intersection to the
ingress/egress.
The motion carried 5-0.

was also trying to enhance the landscaping in that area. He met with one of the neighbors
across the Intracoastal who requested that more mature material be planted there. and
Mr. Carey agreed to that. He said he promised this neighbor that when the planting is
done, he will not be able to see a truck there.
Mr. Haag said staff comment number 40 indicates that we cannot encroach into a parking

driveway located on Woolbright Road from 180 feet to 158.5
feel; and 3) Section H.5 . Clearance at major driveways, to
red.x:e the required distance of the interior access aisle to the
west driveway on Woolbright Road from 100 feet to 25 feet
and the existing middle driveway on U. S. No.1 from 100 feet
to 87 feet and 25 feet for the access aisles on the north and
south sides (respectively).
With regard to Item 7.D.1, Mr. Wische noticed that page 28 is missing from the back-up
packet. Also, two comments were numbered 11. The first one should be numbered 10.
At this time, a recess was declared so that the Recording Secretary could make copies of
page 28 for everybody.
Mr. Carey advised that this request contains three parts. First, the west driveway on
Woolbright Road is only 158.5 feet from the intersecting R-Q-W lines of U.S. 1 and
Woolbright Road. The code requires it to be 180 feet from that point. He agreed with
staff's condition that if the variance is approved, he would add the triangle raised median.
the signage, and extend the curbing referenced in condition number 8.

Mr. Haag said that was correct. The distance required is 180 feet. Staff's recommendation
for that section of the parking lot variance was for denial of the reduced dimension. Staff
recommends closing that off so that there is only one ingress/egress to the site on
Woolbright Road. However, additional staff comments at the end of the report indicate that
if the Commission approves the applicant's request, staff recommends that additional
improvements be made to the intersection.
Chairman Dubs pointed out that this would leave just one entrance to the bank from U.S.
1. Mr. Haag said staff recommends closing this driveway because of the movement of
traffic and anticipated traffic build up in the area. Staff recommends that there be a 100
foot throat.
Mr. Wische feels the 158.5 foot distance is a lot better than blocking off the driveway and
forcing the traffic through one central point.
Comment number 9 deals with a variance for the length of the access aisle. Currently, the
Code requires 100 feet when you enter the driveway before you can make a turn into an
access aisle for parking on the entrance for major driveways. The entrance to the north
meets that requirement. However, the main entrance off U.S. 1 does not meet that
requirement. The applicant has extended the island on the north side of the driveway
approximately 87 feet. This would be 13 feet short of the requirement. On the south side,
the applicant agreed with staff's comment number 9 to remove the parking spaces so that
there is free access for that turn and somebody backing out of a parking space will not
inhibit the traffic flow. If the variance is approved, the applicant agrees to remove all the
parking spaces and add landscaping pursuant to comment number 9.
Mr. Haag concurred with Mr. Carey. He said the TRC recommended denial of the request
to reduce this to 87 feet and 25 feet, even with the recommendations mentioned by
Mr. Carey. Staff recommended closing this off entirely and relocating a driveway to
another location. Mr. Carey did not think that was a good idea. He said we are meeting
the city requirement and starting to conflict with other agencies' requirements. When we
push that major entrance closer to the intersection, it creates more of a problem by
integrating the traffic coming into the shopping center with people making right turns. He
pointed out that these are existing curb cuts and driveways. The shopping center is
approximately 30 years old. This is a major improvement to the site. In 1989, a variance
for the locations of the drives was approved.
Mr. Carey said comment number 10 relates to a variance request for the particular
drainage provision requiring 2.5 inches of on-site containment to allow us to have .5 inches
of on-site containment for dry retention. A variance was approved in 1988 or 1989 for this
item for zero containment. The applicant is adding a half inch of containment and 17,000
feet of permeable surface area (landscaping) in other areas that will accept drainage and
run-off. The applicant is meeting all other drainage requirements of the South Florida
10

Water Management District and the City. This requirement is to settle the dirty water out
so that the sediment can settle and the water that flows off the site into the Intracoastal is
cleaner. The first half inch of storm water is the dirtiest. The last inch of storm water is
less important. The applicant agrees with staff's comment number 10 to add the two storm
water outfall pollution control devices and provide the maintenance contract for control
devices. When this variance was approved in 1989, it did not have any additional
retention. It was .0 additional retention, but it had the two storm water outfall pollution
control devices. The applicant agrees to add the filtration and control devices.
Mr. Haag concurred that variances were approved in 1988. Staff recommends denial of
this request, but if the Commission approves this, staff recommends that the previously-
approved pollution abatement structures be placed where it outfalls into the Intracoastal.
The applicant agreed to this condition as contained in comment number 10.
Mr. Carey said this project is a major improvement to this location, and a substantial
improvement for the area and the community. It will bring in jobs, taxes, and landscaping.
Every item has been improved. Every item in drainage has been improved. Dry retention
is only one item contained in drainage. The applicant feels these requests are reasonable
particularly in light of the fact that this is an existing center. It has particular problems that
relate to redeveloping the site. There is a lot of enthusiasm in the community for this
project to move forward.
Mrs. Frazier asked how much it will cost to redo the shopping center. Mr. Carey advised
that it will cost approximately $6 million in construction costs, excluding land costs. This
center will be redesigned. This center is needed. There are 28,000 people in a two mile
radius served by one inadequate Publix that is not located well. He said he would be afraid
of how long that site will remain there. This is a 63,000 square foot grocery. This does not
exist anyplace in Palm Beach County. It has an eat-in cafe area and a gourmet food area.
This is Winn-Dixie's new prototype. They want to make this store an upgrade of their
image.
Mr. Haag advised that during the recess, one of the board members expressed concern
about the pedestrian crosswalk that goes from Sunshine Square to the current Causeway
Shopping Center. This issue was discussed by the TRC. The Engineering Department
called FDOT to see if the crosswalk will remain in place when the resurfacing of Federal
Highway is done. Their response was affirmative. They are not opposed to working with
the developer to come up with a post-mounted light on the property to indicate the same
traffic signal as at the pedestrian crosswalk. Mr. Carey was in agreement with that. He
feels the current condition is confusing. He will comply with DOT's recommendation.
Mr. Carey advised that the submittal shows landscaping for the median in the highway for
the length of the property; however, DOT's plan are for a concrete median. He indicated
his willingness to move that material from there to the bridge approach. Mr. Aguila would

like Mr. Carey to pursue leaving it where it is. Mr. Haag said not the entire frontage of the
property will have concrete. The left turn lane will be extended onto Woolbright Road;
however. some portions will be landscaped. He advised that the City Forester is working
with FDOT on the materials to be planted.
Mr. Haag reiterated that the Planning and Zoning Department recommends closing the
driveway and relocating it to another area. He asked Mr. Aguila what his main objections
to this were. Mr. Aguila said he would take a different approach if this was a virgin piece
of land with nothing on it. However, this is a substandard, 30-year old dump that is an
eyesore. The applicant is putting a ton of money into it. This is the first time in many years
that anyone has seriously come forward to do something with this property. The applicant
is not designing this from scratch; therefore, he has to work with as much as he can while
still making this a profitable venture. Mr. Aguila feels this is going to make Boynton Beach
a better place and that the applicant is making a big improvement. The applicant is adding
a lot of landscaping, painting, and tearing down ugly portions of the building. Although it
is not ideal for the driveway to be where it is, it is where the traffic signal is for pedestrians,
it is where everybody is used to it being, and it is where the natural access is in front of the
storefront. Mr. Aguila said it makes sense, based on what is there today, not based on
virgin land. He would not support making them move the driveway.
Mr. Haag said staff recommended closing this driveway and moving it north of the
pedestrian access so that there will not be any conflict with vehicles exiting the site and
turning right. Also, staff has not received anything in writing from the applicant or FDOT
indicating that any relocation in this area is too close to that intersection. Another problem
is that even if this area is landscaped, you still have a turning movement. People coming
down Woolbright who want to get there will have to make a u-turn to get into the site, or
enter the site off Woolbright, which means cutting across in front of incoming traffic. These
two scenarios could back vehicles into the right-of-way. The relocation of the driveway
would minimize some of the possibility of backing up into U.S. 1.
Mr. Carey thinks the recommendations made by staff if the variance is approved would
minimize that movement. In addition, that movement is probably a fraction of the
movements to get into that drive through. He said people negotiate turns in parking and
driving all the time. Every single move cannot be managed.
Dr. Elsner inquired about the pedestrian problems. Mr. Reed explained that when the light
on U.S. 1 turns red to allow a pedestrian to cross, traffic stops just short of the entrance
to the shopping center. A pedestrian walkway is on the far side of the walkway. People
exiting the shopping center turn right because they appear to have free access to go, but
pedestrians are in the middle of the street. Traffic existing the shopping center cannot see
the traffic light.
Mr. Carey said the walk is on the wrong side of the driveway. Instead of being on the north

side, it should be on the south side, and it needs to be properly marked. He agreed that
the crosswalk should be moved to the south side of the site so that people exiting the
stores can utilize it. not people from the parking area. He agreed to move it to the south
side of the driveway.
Ms. Heyden said the closing of the driveway had a lot to do with the new building being
added. She suggested in exchange for closing this driving, allowing a connection here
(pointing to an area on the plan). She said it does not meet Code; however, there is
already a variance on file for a hundred foot throat variance. She said perhaps something
can be done to rework this situation so that there is quicker access to the bank.
Mr. Carey feels this would be trading one variance for another. He pointed out that as
marked on the site plan, the applicant will come back to the City on this building. He did
not want to design something that is going to be redesigned again later, He said the City
will have the opportunity to review the site plan for that.
Mr. Aguila asked him to put the landscape islands at the end of the parking areas before
he brings it back.
Motion
Mr. Aguila moved to approve the conditional use request for conditional use approval to
add a drive-through window to the west end of the Walgreen's Drug Store, a new 4,115
square foot restaurant on a leased outparcel and 10,130 square feet to the east end of the
shopping center; demolish 11,061.95 square feet of floor space to replace with parking;
demolish 5,000 square feet of mezzanine within the east building; and modify the existing
driveways and parking layout subject to staff comments except for Comments #3, 7, 9, 12,
18, 19, 20, 21, 24, and 29. He further moved that they change the landscaping materials
in the island pods within the parking area from Cabbage Palms to Laurel Oaks, and that
they relocate the pedestrian crosswalk to the south side of the driveway on Federal
Highway. Mr. Wische seconded the motion, which carried 7-0. .
Motion
Mr. Aguila moved to approve the request for three variances from the Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II: 1) Section F - Drainage, to reduce the
required 2.5 inches on-site containment of storTJl water to .5 inches; 2) Section H.3 -
Distance from streets, to reduce the required distance from the intersection of U.S. NO.1
and Woolbright Road of the west driveway located on Woolbright Road from 180 feet to
158.5 feet; and 3) Section H.5 - Clearance at major driveways, to reduce the required
distance of the interior access aisle to the west driveway on Woolbright Road from 100 feet
to 25 feet and the existing middle driveway on U. S. NO.1 from 100 feet to 87 feet and 25
feet for the access aisles on the north and south sides (respectively) subject to staff

comments except Comments 8,9, and 10, with the conditions agreed to and submitted by
the applicant this evening. Mr. Wische seconded the motion.
Mr. Haag asked for clarification on comments 1 through 11. Mr. Aguila said the applicant
has agreed to all comments except for comments 8, 9, and 10. Mr. Carey said he accepts
conditions 8, 9, and 10. They are the conditions that require improvements.
Mr. Aguila asked for the applicant about comments 1 through 7, and 11. Mr. Carey said
those comments reiterate what the variance is requested for.

Mr. Aguila amended his motion to state, "subject to staff comments 8, 9, and 10 with

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.
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
which 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 out falls 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
asked 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 1-95, come in off Woolbright, go into
the center and exit out onto Woolbright Road and to 1-95.
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
Sect ion 5-142 (h) (7) "Driveways" of the Parking Lot

Mrs. Huckle moved to approve the requested variance to

Chairman and Members
Planning and Zoning Board
FROM:
Carmen S. Annunziato
Planning Director
RE:
Causeway Square Shopping Center
Parking Lot Variance (Drainage)
Section 5-145(c)(4) of the Code of Ordinances requires that when
a variance to Section 5, Article X, Parking Lots is requested,
the Technical Review Board must forward the Planning and Zoning
Board a recommendation, and that the recommendation forwarded is
to ~e made a part of the public hearing proceedings. To that
end, this memo is forwarded, consistent with 5-145(c)(4).
Michael Timmons, agent for E & H Properties, Inc., has requested
a variance to Section 5-142(f) "Drainage" of the Parking Lot
Regulations, which requires that stormwater be retained on-site
at a capacity of not less than two and one-half inches of
rainfall in one hour. In this instance, the applicant is
requesting that the existing stormwater discharge into the
Intracoastal Waterway be allowed to continue. The shopping
center in question is located at the southeast corner of South
Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. For an explanation of the
code requirement, the nature of the variance requested and the
variance justification, please refer to the attached Notice of
Public Hearing and application.
On Tuesday, December 6, 1988 the Technical Review Board (TRB) met
to review the plans and documents submitted and to formulate a
recommendation with regard to the variance requested. After
review and discussion, the TRB recommended approval of the
variance request subject to the following:
1) Construction of the pollution control devices proposed by the
project engineer at the two storm water outfalls into the
Intracoastal Waterway.
2) Submittal of a management plan for maintenance of the
pollution control devices to the City Engineering Department.
The above recommendation was made based on the TRB finding that
to repave the entire site and install new drainage facilities
would create an unreasonable hardship for the applicant.

a variance to Section 5, Article X, Parking Lots is requested,
the Technical Review Board must forward to the Planning and
Zoning Board a recommendation, and that the recommendation
forwarded is to be made a part of the public hearing proceedings.
To that end, this memo is forwarded, consistent with 5-145(c)(4).
Michael Timmons, agent for E&H Properties, Inc., has requested
two variances for the continuation of existing driveways at

These requests are as follows:
1. A variance to Section 5-142(h)(3) Driveways, of the
Parking Lot Regulations which requires, among other things,
that no parking lot driveway may be constructed closer than
180 feet from the intersection of the rights-of-way lines
along arterial roads.
2. A variance to Section 5-142(h)(7) Driveways, of the
Parking Lot Regulations which requires that no more than
two (2) driveways shall be permitted from any property.
The above variances have been submitted with a request for site
plan approval to reconstruct the existing parking lot in
connection with an elevation change to the vacant supermarket to
accommodate a new tenant (Ben Franklin's).
currently, three driveways exist onto South Federal Highway. In
addition, one of the three driveways onto South Federal Highway
(the northern-most) is within 180 feet of the intersecting
rights-of-way lines of South Federal Highway and Woolbright Road.
Also, one of the two existing driveways onto Woolbright Road (the
western-most) is within 180 feet of the same intersection. For
an explanation of the code requirement, the nature of the
variance requested, and the variance justification, please refer
to the attached Notice of Public Hearing and application.
On Tuesday, November 1, 1988, the Technical Review Board (TRB)
met to review the plans and documents submitted, and to
formulate a recommendation with regard to the variances
requested. After review and discussion, the TRB recommended
approval of the variances as submitted. The basis for this
recommendation is as follows: (1) the applicant has agreed to
make one of the three existing driveways onto Federal Highway
(the southern-most) a one-way, exit only drive; (2) the

intersection (Carteret Bank) and a cross access agreement exists
between the shopping center and the bank; and (3) the
history of traffic accidents in the vicinity does not indicate
that the current driveway design at the shopping center has
significantly contributed to these accidents.
