to Local Retail Commercial (LRC) and rezone the property from

parking facilities.
Martin O'Shea was present in the audience and Robert Currie, Architect, approached the
podium. Mr. Currie advised that the applicant had an objection to Comment #1 that reads as
follows:
"Use of the subject property will be limited to a historic home, ancillary element such
as garage/utility building, outdoor gathering and entertainment areas, and parking
facilities. "
He advised that the applicant would like to use the building for an undefined use in the future such
as a coffeehouse. The use would not be expanded in any way, but the applicant would like an
opportunity to use the building. Mr. Rumpf advised that such a use would be permitted. He
explained to the board members that the applicant would like to modify that condition.
When the members expressed concern that modifying the condition at this time would be like giving
the owner carte blanche, Mr. Rumpf pointed out that because of its size, this property could never
become a major restaurant.
CHAIRMAN WISCHE ANNOUNCED THE PUBUC HEARING.
Edith Coooer. 120 SE 1st Street. President of the Vivienne Condo Association. spoke on
behalf of the residents who are concerned that expa'nsion of this use will create traffic and noisy
conditions because of deliveries. She explained that this is a quiet street with 11 children living in
this condominium. Ms. Cooper said the residents currently have a problem with the grocery store
located on Ocean Avenue because of deliveries and trash pickup. She said there are a lot of young
people living in this area and they do not want business on this particular street.
Mr. Currie advised that the applicant plans to construct buffer walls on the south and west sides of
this parcel. All deliveries would be internal to the site.
Chairman Wische read the following letter from Mr. Harvey E. Oyer, Jr. into the record:

PLANNING It DEVELOPMENT BOARD

Mr. Rosenstock requested that Mr. Rumpf explain how rezoning this parcel would benefit the City.
Mr. Rumpf explained that this is a very small parcel of property in a transitional area. This parcel
flanks a C-2 zoning district to the south. Staff feels this minimal extension of the zoning district
would encourage expansion in that area. There are other historic homes in this area that are well
maintained. Mr. Katz has purchased additional property and plans to redevelop it into a small
commercial site. Mr. Rumpf explained that when the use comes through for approval, it could be
limited as to hours of operation. The benefit to the Oty would be the increase in activity in the area.
Mr. Rosenstock questioned whether or not staff would permit the applicant to gut the inside of the
structure, without expanding it, to create a restaurant in this building. Mr. Rumpf responded that
such a situation has occurred in the past.
Mr. Rosenstock felt it would be unfair to permit this rezoning since the residents who purchased
property in this area did so because it was zoned residential. He felt that all purchasers should be
notified that they are buying in a transitional zone so that they could make an informed decision on
whether or not to purchase the property.
Mr. Currie pointed out that there is not enough room in this structure to even build a gourmet
kitchen and the owner has no intention of making this structure any larger.
Mr. Rosenstock inquired if the owner would be amenable to complying with specified hours of
operation. Mr. Currie felt confident that Mr. Katz would agree, but pointed out that the Occupational
Licensing process would probably cover that. He recommended that the board make the hours of
operation a condition of approval.
Mr. Myott envisioned this structure as a rental property for private parties. Mr. Rumpf explained
that at one of the first meetings he had with Mr. Katz, he talked about using the structure for
receptions.
Mr. Friedland said he would not object to this request and would not have a problem with a
coffeehouse as long as the community was buffered from the use.
Chris Francois, 65 Spanish River Drive, Ocean Ridge, expressed concern about rezoning this
parcel of land and about this project in general. Although she agreed that upgrading of the zoning
might be in order, her concerns centered on the public restroom and the parking situation. She felt
the house was beautiful and would be a great museum project. Ms. Francios pointed out that
Ocean Avenue has always been a commercial district, but no commercial has ever existed in this
particular area.
Vice Chairman Dube confirmed with Mf Francois that she is a property owner within the City limits
of Boynton Beach.
Mr. Rosenstock pointed out that even the architect has not been formally advised of the intended
use at this point. In addition, the next thing that will become an issue will be the signage, and the
neighbors will have to deal with that. By approving this request, the door will be opened to allowing

commercial establishments in residential districts.
Mr. Myott felt the owner of this property should have been present for this hearing so that he could
define the intended use. He felt that the lack of specifications gave this request a "tricky" feel.
Chairman Wische reminded the members that at this point, there is no way of knowing the use that
will come in.
Motion
Mr. Rosenstock moved that we reject this petition for Robert Katz Historic House, request approval
of Amendment to the Future land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan from Low Density Residential
(LOR) to Local Retail Commercial (LRC) and rezone the property from RlA to C2 to allow for
adaptive reuse of historic home and parking facilities. Vice Chairman Dube seconded the motion.
Mr. Friedland reiterated his support and stated that he would be comfortable approving the request
as long as the project is fenced in as depicted on the plans.
The motion carried 5-2. (Mr. Friedland and Ms. Frazier dissented.)

Mr. Rumpf added that the landscaping depicted on the plans was identical to the landscaping
already provided in the area. Because the easement along the frontage is located close to the front
of the building, there is no lush landscaping. Palm species are being used to be utility easement
friendly. There is a required 25'-30' perimeter buffer required in this PID. On the south side of the
plan, Waxed Myrtles and Eugenias will be planted.
When Mr. Myott questioned whether or not the Planning & Development Board had seen this plan
in the past, Mr. Rumpf explained that this is a long narrow parcel with warehouse buildings.
Therefore, each project that has come forward is very much the same as the last.
Motion
Mr. Myott moved to approve the request to construct a 19,293 square foot building to be used for
manufacturing, wholesale' and storage of architectural cast stone products, subject to all staff
comments. Ms. Frazier seconded the motion that carried unanimously.

9. COMMENTS BY MEMBERS
>- Mr. Rosenstock commented that it is very easy to note on a calendar from year-to-year when
the elections for this board are to occur. This is the second time the elections were left off the
agenda. He also requested that revised agendas be clearly marked "REVISED" and delivered
to the members prior to the meeting.
>- Mr. Rosenstock requested that the members of the board be provided with a map depicting all
of the gas stations within the City of Boynton Beach. He would like the map color-coded to
indicate auto repair businesses as well.
~ Mr. Rosenstock requested a status report on the revision of the Sign Code. Mr. Rumpf reported
that no one is currently working on that project.
Mr. Rosenstock said this was a project that was workshopped and discussed on multiple
occasions. He requested that the City Commission report back to the Planning & Development
Board that assignments have been made to continue the progress of developing a new Sign
Code for the City of Boynton Beach.
Mr. Myott said he was at a meeting of the AlA Board of Directors at the County a few months
ago when a discussion took place about signage being almost more important than the
appearance of the exteriors of buildings. Bad signage will ruin a neighborhood faster than any
other aesthetic item. Therefore, Mr. Myott is in favor of moving forward with the revised Sign
Code with quality in mind.

Mr. Rosenstock requested that Chairman Wische poll the members to determine who was in
favor of moving his recommendation forward. The vote was unanimous.
Mr. Reed pointed out that there have been two false starts within the last 2V2 years. This is a
project that must be completed.
~ Mr. Rosenstock recalled that the Comprehensive Plan must be sent to Tallahassee in April. Mr.
Rumpf explained that there are two deadlines; one in April and one in October.
Mr. Rosenstock said the Planning Department should make a recommendation to the City
Commission that a workshop be held to review the currently existing Comprehensive Plan so
that it is possible to know what people are talking about when they request changes such as the
rezoning considered at this meeting. It is important to know what is located on each property
and to know the delineation of the boundaries. Mr. Rosenstock pointed out that the
Comprehensive Plan is not meant to be set in granite. Therefore, it is necessary to take a look
at it.
Mr. Rumpf said there would be an opportunity to do that. The Comprehensive Plan is currently
in the EAR based amendment stage. A contract has been executed with the consultants and
they are currently working on implementing the EAR product. They will be coming back to us
within the next few months with proposed amendments. There is new State law that must be
incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan and many of the policies are outdated. Mr. Rumpf
has requested that the consultant review the Land Use and Problems Opportunities Section,
Section 8, which is a site-by-site description, analysis and recommendations.
Mr. Friedland thanked Mr. Rosenstock for his remarks about letting things go. He is anxious to get
this signage done so that it will add to the beauty of the City.
Mr. Rumpf advised that staff is not opposing changes. The files and notes are still fresh and have
not been stored away. This project is on the Department's agenda of things to do and staff will get
to this project.
10. ADJOURNMENT
