BUILDING DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM NO. 90-273
Ja:!e 22, 1990
TO: J. Scott Miller
City Manager
- FROM: Don Jaeger
Building & Zoning Director
RE: QUANTUM PARK
On June 22, 1990, Tim Cannon, Charlie Frederick, Kevin Hallahan,
Vince Finizio, Mike Haag and I met to discuss the issue of
landscape requirements at Quantum Park.
Section 7.5-35(e) of the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances
requires a four (4) foot high landscape barrier between the
off-street parking area and abutting property in order to screen
parked vehicles. When the site plan for lots 4 and 5 was
approved, City staff attempted to work with the developer by
allowing them to utilize lake and upland plantings to meet the
intent of the code. Carmen Annunziato, Planning Director at that
time, incorrectly advised the City commission that the Community
Appearance Board had approved an Appeal of Administrative
Decision to the above mentioned code section. The issue was
discussed at the Community Appearance Board and it was agreed
that "in lieu of the hedge, they have been given the option to
take hardwood species, which are basically trees that will grow
in a wet area, and to use more of those to provide a blocking in
an informal type of arrangement." The plans were approved with
this understanding. Upon site inspection, the existing littoral
zone and upland plantings do not meet code requirements.
At present, staff is recommending the existing berm between the
lake and the parking lot be increased to four (4) feet in height
above the paved surface.
Appendix A-Zoning, Section 7.H.17 of the Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances requires a peripheral greenbelt surrounding a Planned
Industrial Development. This landscape buffer must be
twenty-five (25) feet where the property abuts a commercial or
industrial district and forty (40) feet wide when abutting a
residential district.
Appendix A-Zoning, Section 4.L of the Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances requires a solid stucco masonry buffer wall six (6)
feet in height when a commercial and/or industrial district abuts
a residential district. Consistent with City commission
directives, this requirement will be instituted as each perimeter
lot's site plan is approved.

SUBJECT: Quantum Park; Issue of Landscaped Barrier for Lakeside Commons &
Allstate Insurance Projects
Attached hereto please find a copy of a letter dated June 12, 1990, from
Quantum Corporate Park to Don Jaeger, Building Official, concerning the
requirement of a hedge or a landscape barrier at the rear of the above
referenced projects. On another occassion the requirement that Quantum
Corporate Park must construct a masonary wall at those locations where the
park abutts residential properties. Of course Quantum Park does not right-
fully believe that they are required by the City's code to construct such a
structure.
I want all three of you to meet together on this matter and provide to this
office specifically what the requirements of Quantum Corporate Park are
relative to landscape buffers and barriers, as well as concrete walls, and
include in your response the sections and provisions of the City code
outlining said requirements. Please feel free to meet with Jim Cherof,
City Attorney, reference this assignment. Your prompt attention to this
matter is appreciated. Thank you.

RE: Quantum Park; Issue of Landscaped Barrier for Lakeside Commons and
Allstate Insurance Projects
Dear Don:
I am writing to request reconsideration of your position concerning the requirement
of a hedge or landscaped barrier at the rear of the above referenced projects. As we
discussed at our meeting of June 7, 1990, with yourself, Michael Haag, Kevin
Hallahan and Alan Capino, the issue of the landscaped barrier was addressed at the
Technical Review Board Meeting (TRB) on June 8, 1988 for the Lakeside Commons
Project. At this meeting the City Forester, Kevin J. Hallahan, made the comment
(Number 3 in his memorandum to Carmen Annunziato) as follows: "A hedge or
acceptable replacement must be planted to screen the parking lot along the south
property line (adjacent to the lake areas)".
Kevin's comment was made with respect to Section 7.5-34( e) "Perimeter
Landscaping Relating to Abutting Properties", Article II: Landscape Code. At the
meeting, we agreed to discuss this code requirement with the Community
Appearance Board.
At the Community Appearance Board meeting on June 20, 1988, the project was
discussed (copy of minutes attached hereto). In the meeting Kevin stated the
following (page 19):
"Now, instead of having one layer of vegetation, they have three layers. In lieu
of the hedge, they have been given the option to take hardwood species, which
are basically trees that will grow in a wet area, and to use more of those to
provide a blocking in an informal type of arrangement.

Mr. Hallahan said the reason the Board had to decide tonight whether this was
appropriate was because many of Quantum's clients coming in at future dates
will be using the same approach. If they buy lake front property, they will want
to see the lake. Mr. Hallahan thought they needed to address whether this
would adequately provide buffering for the cars that will be there. He
personally felt they more adequately met that intent. This is an informal type
of arrangement, rather than a formal, straight-line hedge material.
Another consideration is that there is quite a distance between the lake shore
on this side and the tenants on the other side."
The discussion continued as provided in an excerpt from the minutes as follows:
"It seemed to Mrs. Shuman that they had talked about this before and that
there was no need for hedges. Mr. Zimmerman agreed, saying it was a
previous plan on a different site and the CAB approved it without hedges.
Vice Chairwoman Sheridan commented that the members had to start
remembering what they do.
Mr. Jaeger concurred with Mr. Hallahan that this met the intent of the City's
current ordinances.
Mrs. Wische moved to accept the plans, subject to staff comment and to
approve the elevations as they were. The motion carried 7-0."
On June 21, 1988, the City Commission considered the request for site plan approval
of the project. For your records, I have attached a copy of the minutes and quote the
minutes as follows:
''This item was removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion at the request
of Commissioner Olenik. See discussion after Consent Agenda.
The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of this
request subject to staff comments. Additionally, the Planning and Zoning
Board recommended that the City Commission accept a building elevation that
is general in nature as it relates to the location of doors and windows, as the
locations of doors and windows will change based upon tenant.
.
Mr. Don Jaeger, Continued

Mr. Annunziato noted that the CAB voted to give administrative relief in the
requirement for a hedge along the lake."
It seems quite clear in my review of the official minutes of the meetings and listening
to the taped recordings, that the CAB considered the existing lake area landscaping
and site distances to provide an adequate landscaped barrier. Additionally, as noted
by Mr. Annunziato In the Commission meeting minutes, "the CAB voted to give
administrative relief in the requirement for a hedge along the lake."
It is further my belief that the staff recognized that this issue was resolved to their
satisfaction when the staff members, including yourself and Kevin Hallahan, signed
the TRB approval sheet prior to submission of construction plans to the Building
Department (copy attached hereto).
I realize at the time of our meeting you may not have had the opportunity to review
the records on this issue. I hope that this information will adequately reflect the
history in which Quantum Associates received approval to construct the project with
a landscaped barrier which we believe is more appropriate for lake front properties.
This leads directly to the second subject of our discussion regarding the sign-off of
the only remaining TRB commentfor the Allstate office project on sites 20 and 21.
This comment pertains to Kevin Hallahan's comment, Number 3 in his
memorandum to Tim Canon dated February 6, 1990, as follows:
''The applicant should be aware that the rear of the property landscaping
(littoral and upland hardwood plantings) must adequately screen the parking
lot from sites directly across the lake. I will review the site with the applicant to
make a determination that additional plantings are not required for visual
screening."
It should be noted that at the time of the TRB meeting, we were under the
impression that the issue was satisfactorily resolved on the Lakeside Commons
project. Since the situation on the Allstate project is identical to the previous project
which was approved, Quantum Associates agreed to Kevin Hallahan's comment. I
have attached for your records a copy of the lake planting plan which depicts
identical circumstances where a visual buffer exists consisting of a lake slope berm,
hardwood swamp trees, hardwood swamp shrubs and ground cover, littoral plantings,
and a body of water averaging in excess of 250 feet to the opposite shoreline.

Mr. Don Jaeger, Continued
June 12, 1990

Additionally, with similar plantings on the opposite lake bank, the landscaping will
mesh together to form a visual barrier from the parking lot of Lakeside Commons.
This will create the same effect as having a staggered tree line. Only the first row of
staggered landscaping occurs on the nearest lake bank and the second row occurs on
the opposite lake bank. Since this is a point which I did not have an opportunity to
present at our meeting, I hope this information, alon~ with the attached
documentation on the Lakeside Commons project, will proVide sufficient evidence
that a visual barrier is in place.
If you have any questions or require any additional information in order to
reevaluate your position, please let me know.
Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: Quantum Park Development of Regional Impact,
Scrub Preserve
Dear Mr. Hallahan:
Enclosed please find a copy of my April 25, 1.989, letter to
Carmen Annunziato regarding the identification of the fina1.
12 acres of scrub required to meet the 40 acres required
preserved under Development Order Condition 6. The letter
outlines the conditions under which staff found the proposal
acceptable. Also enclosed is the "Exhibit to Ecological
Report, 20 December, 1988" so that you may make a copy for
your file. There are no notes on this exhibit indicating
which areas staff considered "very poor representatives" of
scrub; however, I would be happy to look at any or all of
them at any time (schedule permitting).
I did look at the three-quarter-acre strip just east of the
Publix distribution center's eastern fence line on April 1.9,
1990, as you requested. At least half of that strip falls
in the "very poor" category. I saw some mature sand pines
as well as a few smaller planted ones, which looked dead.
The understory has been removed and the ground cover is
dominated by the exotic natal grass.
When we spoke by phone April 30, I indicated that the three-
quarter acre could still be counted toward the remaining 12
acres of preserve called for in the Development Order, but
only because it was immediately adjacent to Preserve Number
Two. In examining the Exhibit, however, I see that the
piece is separated from the preserve by a railroad line and
lot #72. Therefore, this is not a suitable preserve area.
Only 12 additional acres of scrub need to be preserved to
meet the Development Order condition of 40 acres. Sixty-six
acres of potential preserve are identified on the Exhibit,
most of which are in decent condition. Therefore, there is
no justification for accepting scrub not including intact

as a buffer to one of the existing preserve areas.
staff concurs that the only habitat preservation for the
Quantum Development of Regional Impact site required by the
Development Order is the 40 acres. This is consistent with
Council's 25 percent policy.
If you have any questions, please call.

Re: Quantum Park; Sites 20 and 21, Allstate Building
Dear Michael:
I am writing to you in response to my discussion with Kevin Hallahan in
which he has advised me that he cannot approve the project until Item 3
of his TRB comment is resolved. This comment pertained to the
requirement to screen the parking lot from sites directly across the
lake. Kevin further indicated in his comments that he would review the
site with the applicant to make a determination that additional
plantings are not required for visual screening, Evidently, Kevin has
now determined he is not satisfied.
Therefore. I am requesting your interventi9n in an effort to finally
resolve this issue so that we may proceed wi,th the project. As you may
recall, the subject was discussed at the TRB Meeting and represents
identical circumstances to the Lakeside Convnons project which received
C.A,B. and City Commission approvals to construct the project without
planting additional landscaping to screen the parking lot,
Additionally, it was requested that the same criteria be established for
all sites which adjoin the lake areas under identical circumstances.
The focus of our request to delete the additional hedge to screen the
rear of the property was centered on the following facts:
2)
The property lines of these sites are located in the center of the
lake providing a minimum of 200 feet between parking lots, but
averaging approximately 600 feet between the rear of the parking
lots,
Extensive landscaping has been planted within the lake areas
pursuant to Development Order conditions to establish native
Hardwood Swamp Vegetation. Upon reaching maturity, this
landscaping will provide an unstructured visual barrier between the

The installation of a structured hedge would detract from the
aesthetic values of the lake areas and further reduce market
incentive to site a project on premium lake fronts.
4) It is evident that this issue is the result of Article II, Section
7.5(e) of the Boynton Beach Landscape Code. .Perimeter Landscaping
Relating to Abutting Properties". The intent of this section was
to provide a criteria for properties with commoll property lilies
with more traditional setback requirements between parkillg lots,
It is clear that the code did not anticipate commercial development
Oil lakes ill which average setback between rear parking lots would
exceed 600 feet.
Due to the circumstances provided within Quantum Corporate Park. I
request your approval of the TRB comment regarding this issue for Sites
20 and 21. If you do not believe this is within your jurisdiction to
authorize, I respectfully request that this item be put on the agenda
for consideration by the Community Appearance Board at the earl iest
opportunity.
If you require any additional information, please contact me at your
earliest convenience,
Thank you for your consideration.
