VARIANCE REQUEST
STATEMENT OF SPECIAL CONDITIONS, HARDSHIPS AND REASONS
RIVERW ALK PLAZA
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
A, That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land and
buildings involved and which are not applicable to other lands and buildings in the same
zoning district:
The Boynton Beach Development Code currently requires the erection of a
masonry wall between property with a commercial zoning designation and
one with a residential designation. When this property was developed, no
such requirement existed and the site was developed in the manner in which
it exist today.
B, That the special conditions and circumstances did not result from the action of the
applicant.
When constructed, the project conformed to the codes in effect at the time.
Revisions to the approved site plan and subsequent changes to the
development code created the necessity for the variance.
C, That the granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege denied by this ordinance to others.
This project is fully developed having been constructed forty years ago. The
current activity involves a change in one ofthe major tenants and the
relocation of minor tenants;1 Granting this variance will confer no special
privilege not enjoyed by every other similar forty year old developments
D. That literal interpretation of the provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms
of the Ordinance and work unnecessary and undue hardship on the applicant.
There is not sufficient space to construct a footing and a wall along the
subject property line without removing paving and shell base. Removing the
paving would reduce the width of the access way creating a potentially
hazardous traffic condition. Thus would be the hardship to accomplish that
which can be satisfied with the required irrigated landscaping and fencing.

E, That the variance granted is the minimum variance that will make possible the
reasunable use of the land. building and structures
The fence and landscaping combination is a reasonable alternative to
accomplish the goals of the requirement, i.e., visual separation for the
adjoining property. At tlte time the project was developed, over forty years
ago, the adjacent property was an over-grown, unoccupied and undeveloped
waterway maintenance spoil area owned by the Florida Inland Navigation
District, A chain linked fence separated the properties then. Today, over
forty years later, the site remains over-grown, predominantly with wetland
specie, it remains unoccupied, it remains undeveloped and it remains in the
ownership ofthe Florida Inland Navigation District.
F, That the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general intent and purpose
of this chapter and that such variance will not be il!iurious to the area involved or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare,
The clear intent of this chapter is to provide separation of two dissimilar land
uses. At the time this project developed, there was no such intent. Hence the
Plaza developed as it is today, with insufficient space at the rear of the
buildings for the construction of a masonry wall with its attendant
foundations. The property to the South, owned by the Florida Inland
Navigation District, is undeveloped, lying between the strip commercial
along Highway #1 and the waterway. Much of the property would be
designated as wetland and ,lIpt subject to development.
