Landscape Appeal: Request for relief from Article
II - Landscape Code, Section 7.5-35(e) to omit
landscaping along an interior lot line used for
veM:ular use
Mr. Handley displayed the site plan and indicated the area where the landscape
appeal is being requested. He stated that a hedge is required along the prop-
erty line to separate the Tri-Ra11 Station from the parking lot because they are
two separate parcels. He stated that this cannot be done because the parking,
vehicular use areas and pedestrian paths cross that line.
No one in the audience wished to speak in favor of or against this request.
Therefore, Mayor Taylor declared the public hearing closed.

Vice Mayor Bradley moved to approve the request for relief of Article II,

Community Design Plan Appeal: Request for relief
from Section 10.F.6 of the Community Design Plan
regarding exterior lighting
Louis Fenkell requested approval of two types of exterior building lighting.
One is an exterior band of green illuminated channel wrapping the roofl1ne of
the building. The other is for white fluorescent lighting which downwashes the
building and does not project out.
Ms. Heyden advised that the Community Design Plan states that lighting attached
to the form of the exterior of the building or part of the building exterior or
visible from the exterior of the building shall not be permitted if it is
contrary to the architectural style of the building. Staff feels that the
covered neon lighting around the perimeter of the roof of the building, which ;s
appropriate to an art deco style, is contrary to the architectural style of the
Denny's building. Staff views exterior lighting more as a fonm of s1gnage
rather than a building element. However, the fluorescent lighting around the
fascia and soffit, which is not going to be exposed, is acceptable to staff.
It not only serves to accentuate the building, but it serves as lighting for the

Request to amend the previously approved site plan to
construct a 1,685 square foot office addition to the
recreation building
Using an overhead projector, Mr. Haag displayed and reviewed a location map of
the site. He also displayed an overlay of the survey that was submitted. The
zoning district is recreation. The type of use is an addition to an existing
recreation building. The site is approximately 2 acres. The building addition
is 1,685 square feet. Mr. Haag reviewed the surrounding zoning districts and
land uses. The new addition is attached to and located between two existing
buildings. No units are being added, therefore, traffic will not be impacted.
The drainage for the project will meet the Engineering Department's requirements
when the penmit is submitted. Mr. Haag also displayed an overlay of the area
that is being renovated.

He stated that in 1990 a variance was approved by the Board of Adjustment
establishing 58 parking spaces for the entire facility. The proposed addition

employees will be added to the staff. The majority of people who use the
recreational site are walk-ins or are dropped off. Mr. Corbett said he has
never seen the parking lot close to capacity. He advised that he might ask for
some relief from the parking ordinance in the future because the additional
parking is only being provided because of the additional square footage. He
said no additional people or cars are being added and walk-in traffic will not
impact the site. He feels the project is needed and will fall within all of the
guidelines of the City's intent and Codes.
As far as Mr. Hukill's interpretation of the parking lot ordinance,
Mr. Rosenstock remembered the intent of the revision of that ordinance. He
stated that the revision was unanimously supported by the Commission and the
Planning and Zoning Department, who felt that there was no need to make com-
munities upgrade their entire parking facility when they wanted to make a minor
change to a building because the numbers of people in those areas remain static.
Motion
Vice Chainman Golden moved to recommend approval of the major site plan modifi-
cation for Palm Beach Leisurevil1e Recreation Area I to amend the previously
approved site plan to construct a 1,685 square foot office addition to the
recreation. building, subject to staff comments. Mr. Reitz seconded the motion.
Mr. Wische advised that he lives in Leisureville, but since he is not going to
profit monetarily from this, he will vote on this matter.
The motion carried 7-0.
Mr. Haag stated that even though it is exempt from the parking lot ordinance,
that particular parking area does meet the horizontal control dimensions of the
parking lot ordinance.
