The third kind of request is a straight rezoping, that is, the property to the east of High Ridge Road west of 1-95: is currently shown as industrial in the land use element of the comp~ehensive plan and currently zoned MI. The applicant is requ~sting that that also be rezoned from MI to PID. In total, this is a request for a 540 acre project to be known as the Boynton Beach parklof Commerce. Generally, it lies to the east of Congress Avenue, west: of 1-95, north of the Boynton Canal and south of Miner Road when it will be built. The property is currently being used for the grazing of cattle, and there are land elevations which range from 40 feet, to as low as 9 feet within the regions close to the E-4 Canal on the ~est.

To the southeast is Boynton Beach Industrial Park which is zoned Ml, to the south is Laurel Hills and Skylake, single-family areas developing in the Rl-AA zone classification. To the southwest is vacant, undeveloped Rl-AA land. To the west is the Motorola PID, vacant undeveloped commercial property and the Dos Lagos PUD. The uses proposed within the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce are com- merqial, office, light industrial, lakes and wetlands and roads. The aCJ;ejage devoted to each are: commercial, 27.6 acreS1 offices, 128.9 acr~s1 light industrial, 254.7 acreS1 lakes and wetlands, 82.2 acres and ,roads, 46.5 acres. There are Planned Industrial Developments, an it~ specifically talked about within the confin~s of the comprehen- sive plan, which says, "Future designation of planned industrial dis~ricts in the areas indicated for residential or other uses on the land use plan shall be conside.r;ed to conform with the land use plan if , all :PID locations and design criteria are satisfied and upon approval '1,,"1' by the Planning and zoning Board and the City Council." There are two kinds of standards listed, referring back to the zoning code. The fi~slt set concern~ the relationship of the building to a specific " ~itej--not the subject of this discussion, as that refers to individual r sirt;.~ design criteria. The second concerns the relationship of the P1D to: ~he sur~ounding city intra-structure systems. The first of these is, t!he locational criteria--the relationship of the proposed project to, ,1~ajor transportation facilities. As proposed, the Boynton Beach pa~~ of Commerce ~s served directly bV N.W. 22nd Avenue and per~P.erally bY.

The site is served with ma~ter-sized water and sewer mains on the north, on the west and on th~ south. The applicant is proposing to construct sewer, water and dr~inage facilities on site, consistipg of four lift stations, gravity sew~r system, looped master-sized water mains and a full provision of stpr;ed water retention systems as required by the South Florida Water Manasement District. Concerning the physical character of the site, there are no physical i~pe~iments to the development of the site. There are some minor podk~ts of muck, ranging to two feet in depth, which will have to be mitii9'ated as a part of the land development process. Beyond that, t~er~ should be nothing in terms of soils which would impede the deve- lop~nt of this site as a PID. - 2 - I! 11 I " -MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 r~.-' /-"'" yEnvironmentally, there are several landscape and animal regimes on site, ranging from the pine flat scrublands to wetlands, this was the subject of some discussion with the Regional Planning Council.

The :recommendation which comes from the Planning Department, the Technical Review Board and the Planning and Zoning Board appears as Exhibit D attached to this meeting's agenda. Also cited is a list of recqnunendations from the Regional Planning Council to their comments. Additionally, the Planning and Zoning Board points out for the Council1s edification that the City Council has to, in its con- sideration of this comprehensive development of regional impact, con- sider the following: 1. ,Doe,s the development unreasonably interfere with the achievement of the objectives of the adopted state land development plan for the area? 2. Is the development consistent with the local land development regulations? 3. Is the development consistent with the report and recommendations :of the Regional Planning Council? /'-...

Ii I ,\ II I I' ,\ II I! \ II 1\ t I! i i II i\ I, Mr. [Barden said his firm was retained by Ri teco almost two years ago Ii to ~egin analyzing their property and to recommend a new approach for ' its use, based on ,good land use and zoning practices and a market that II has ,been changing since 1975. They began to analyze the more recent !' charlges taken by the City and the advice of the Planning staff to ;'1' est~blish the Motorola high-technology plant and the Mall, as well as I other planned industrial development districts to the north of the I' Rit~co property aI)d the existing industrial area that borders I-95 to ! the isouth. As a result of their analysis, he said they recommended , strqngly to Riteco that they change the land use from residential and II a mfxture Of. various districts, which have been described, to a ',"\ planned industrial district and that they develop it as a high- tec~nology park--n.,ot as an industrial park with warehousing, but as a Ii mix~ure of a nearly self-sustained group of uses. As the Traffic I Eng~neer will poir~t out later, by mixing some of the uses that are I' gen~rating traffic off-site, we overcome some of the negative impact ,\ by J<eepinq employees and visitors on the site. II Mr. !Barden said that by looking at the City and the public facilities I' that are needed tq serV7 the project and whi~h the project often ,ser- I': ves,[ such as the ~conoml.c base of the communl. ty, they found that ! gen~rally the are~s of major impact were those of transportation and II env~ronment, areaq upon which they concentrated heavily for almost two I, years. They feel 'the project is well served by public facilities; 'I theYj foresee easy mitigation of the one or two areas upon which they I have impact. The existing zoning in the area came about through the .1 pla~ned unit type of dev~lopment created for Sandhill.

About five years ago they presented a plan for a residential project, but for a number of reasons elected not to go ~orward with that at the time. He said they think now that this Park of Commerce is a better, wiser and more appropriate use of this lanq, and they think it will be a very successful project for the City, as it is a good, sound development project. He said they have hir~d the best consultants they could find--the economic studies have been done by Goodkin Corporation, the engineering was done by Ric Rossi, the traffic studies were done by Kimley-Horn and Associates, the land planning by ROY Barden Planning Group and the attorneys for the project are Moyle, Jones and Flanigan, who are represented here tonight by Mr. David presley. The environmental concerns have been dealt with by Dr. Manley Boss and his team of environmental con- s~ltants. Mr. Post said they would propose that the consultant for ea911 of these five major areas of the project make a brief presen- tation to the Council, and at the conclusion of these presentations, they will respond to questions. He introduced Mr. Roy Barden, the Planner, to give an overview of the entire project. - 4 - I<~ ,.,.-,-}., r ..... ?'T"_, I ~INUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE i BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 1 ~amily.

For thet I reslj en l.a por l.Qn, l.nc u l.ng e recreat10na por 10n, ey reques i tha~ we change the land use plan from residential to industrial and ! cha~ge the zoning from a mixture of single family and R3 to all PID, I:, I!, whi9h will allow them to develop a planned office, industrial and mixed retail rese~rch park--on a very comprehensive basis, as is reqqired by our PID ordinance, which he uses as a land planning guide and conform with almost precisely except for the commercial, which is slightly under the 10 percent allowed. He said they tried to do a goo~ job of land use planning within the parameter of our PID ordi- nance by protecting the boundaries that have ~esidential uses adjacent to ~h~ and then qy protecting the main entrance corridor and trying to ~ombine the kind of uses we and our planning staff would find com- , patl.!ble. Northwest 22nd Avenue will become Commerce Park's gateway from both I , the proposed 1-95 l.nterchange (and Congress Avenue). Along N.W. 22nd Avenue they propose office uses~ in the central portion they propose a park! of commerce center around one of the large lakes~ this would be referred to as the Lakeside Center, which would have at least two hote!ls, unless the hotels are built adjacent to the interchange, along withl restaurants, retail uses that support the offices and high tech- nOlo.~y of light industrial usage. Bordering and wrapping around the lighf industrial center would be light industrial usage. A la~ge lake, both for drainage and buffering the residential area from the office sites, has been proposed with 50 or 60 acres of wetland I pres~rvation. Mr. Barden said they think the land plan not only fits i, the ~ntent of the PID, but takes it a step further and commits by Ii master plan, as required, a concept of uses which is the guide for I future reviews by our staff. Some of the roads shown by dotted line , on t~e drawings may not be built unless the area around them becomes !I fully developed and there is a need for them.

Mr. Barden concluded by saying they believe their approach to the 'land planning is not only in conformance to the city's goals of II the land use plan but also in conformance with the broad economic I obj~ctives of Boynton Beach. He introduced Mr. Maurice Drooper of I Goodkin Research Corporation to review the economic planning, timing, II mix :of land uses, etc., that they have proposed. ; Mr. :Drooper said his firm was involved in the market feasibility study II and economic an~l~s~s aspe~ts of the,report and did a compre~ensive II sur~ey of 19 maJor 1ndustr1al parks 1n Palm Beach County, wh1ch occ~pied over 3,000 acres. They surveyed over 4.9 million square feet II of office space and did an in-depth economic analysis of population il developments in the County and the Boynton B'each area, as well as I e~pLoyment trends. They evaluated the site and feel very comfortable i with a mixture of ,high-quality office, resea'rch and high-tech develop- " mente There are dertain external success ingredients that are well Ii serv:ed here; the site enjoys a comprehensive transportation system--a j critical external success ingredient; it is close to a high population II gro~th area, which provides an important labor source and local ' mar~et; there is a good availability of both, executive and moderately ! prided housing. The site eQjoys good visibility; it has rail service. The ~nvironment in the immediate neighborhood is of high quality, with Motqrola and the Boynton Beach Mall and all of the important spill- 'I over effects this will establish. Our anticipated absorption rates in I terms of occupied acreage--~ot land sales, but buildings that occupy I' lan~~-is 12 to 16 acres per year, which is comparable with the suc- I cess1ful industriaJ; parks operating in South Florida and other regions II of ~e state. Therefore, we are looking at about a 30 year absorption II period. \, The Park is well positioned for catering to the high-tech warehouse market. They can offer moderately priced office space; there is a surplus of luxury space in the County. There is a need for a hotel in ,I the area, catering to the local business market.

Dr. Boss said there are basically three regions on the property ecolo- gically, all of which are based on the availability of water to the - 6 - -:':'f~ , I I I I i - /. ~ l;, r" r """"'1 ...~ -MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 -organisms that live there. Along High Ridge Road is a stabilized sand dune, reaching a height of up to 40 feet. In the northern section of the property is another high ridge. These three high ridges are com- posed of pure white sand that is extremely dry; therefore, any orga- nisms living there have to live in a very dry situation. These three regions h~ve scrub vegetation--basica1Iy pine trees and dwarf oaks. The gopher tortoise lives in the area, and the gopher frog lives in the hole of the gopher tortoise. In addition to the dry area, there is a great prairie that covers the rest of the prpperty, which is neitper too wet or too dry; that has oak trees and bushes that grow not ~n wetlands or very dry areas. Intersperced in this prairie are some very wet areas and swamps. This area prior to 10,000 years ago was covered with ocean, and the ridges were the east coast of Florida. After the oceans receded, there were pockets of fresh water because of the rain. probably 30, 40 or 50 years ago before this area was drained, there was at times enough water on the prope:rty west of the ridges to connect Lake Osborne and Lake! Ida. The environmental staff of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council and other state agencies are interested in preserving some of the vegetation and wildlife of the ridge, as well as the wet pock~ts, which is what the developer has committed to do with at least one ~ourth, or 40 acres, of the 160 acres of scrub vegetation. The 25 percent preserved will be dependent on the state of the vegetation ther~ now, the fea:sibili ty of saving it and the feasibility of locating the animals into it. At least 11 acres of wetland vegetation Ii will be preserved around the lakes. Wetland vegetation will be planted along the edges of the lakes. Practically all of the lake peri~eters will be preserved areas. The 3 8 acres of wetland in the north area will be preserved Mr. ~ost introducep Mr. Jim Zook of Kimley-Horn and Associates to discpss the traffiic impact and their proposals for responding to that situation. Mr. Zook said every development of regional impact requires a compre- hens live transportation study, and this one was started long before there was a decision to make a DRI application. Not only the present situ~tion was considered, but what would exist during the 30 years while the project is being completed. Northwest 22nd Avenue from Congress Avenue to Seacrest Boulevard will be wtdened to four lanes This includes widening the bridge over the cana~, improving a~l of the intersections and creating left and right turn! lanes through the project, but it does not include widening the brid~e over 1-95, which should be discussed regarding the interchange. This is over a million dollar roadway improvement project. Fortpnate1y, the capacity exists on Congress Avenue for the first phase of the project, because it has already been widened; however, at Congress Avenue and Boynton Beach Boulevard there will be a major inte,rsection, for which right-of-way maps, design plans and - "1 - ~ r-r-,.... ..... I !\ I I[ MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE I BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 i -money will be provided to the County for improvement. The improvement II of N.W. 22nd Avenue proceeding west of Congress Avenue will be II completed within five years after approval, which is five years ahead '1.1 of completion of the first phase and the need for it to be there , Regarding the interchange proposed for 1-95 at N.W. 22nd Avenue, there II are .P1ans for initiation of the major studies that will be required. I'. Interchanges on interstate systems do not just happen even when a I developer .is wi1iing to contribute a couple of million dollars toward 1'[ that interchange; they require coordination of the State and Federal ! Departments of TrC).nsportation in terms of showing justification, II feasibility, etc. Based on the transportation study done for the DRI, I there is little doubt that it will be justified and is feasible, but ' certain studies meeting the criteria of the State and Federal govern- ,I ments must be done on the interchange. That would be done during the II first phase or 10 years of the project. I Traffic ,counts will be,made, monito:in~ the traffic bei~g gen~rated by ,I the ,proJect, to determ1ne the traff1c 1mpact, and when 1t beg1ns to . gen~rate 15,000 e~terna1 trips, another major roadway improvement will be required. Depending on developments and studies made by that time and if the interchange has been justified, $900,000 would be provided tow~rd the implementation, development and construction of the int~rchange. As ~n alternative to this, if the 15,000 trips have been reached and Congress Avenue has not yet been widened to six lanes, although the County has indicated that it would be six lanes by that tim~, the $900,00Q would be spent to widen Congress Avenue to six 1ane.s. Beyond that, after Congress is widened, another $900,000 would go ~o the interch~nge. In the event the interchange is not approved, the 1900,OOO, instead of being spent on the interstate, will have to be spent o,n major intersection improvements to handle the traffic im~ct that will Qe on other streets instead of using 1-95, basically on ~ongress and Bqynton Beach Boulevard to get to the interchanges that do exist with 1-95. In addition, there are signalization requirements and other intersec- tion: requirements adjacent to and wi thin the facility, but these are the ~ajor improvements it will take to handle the impact over a 30 year' bui1dout period. , i [I II I, 'I I !

He then intrpduced Mr. Ric Rossi to speak about the civil engineering aspects of tpe project. Mr. ~ossi said he will touch on water, sewer, drainage and irrigation. I He said this 540 acre project is fortunate enough to have been located II in ap area which is bounded by master-sized lines put in by the City : somel time ago.

There is a 16 inch water main along Congress Avenue and along Miner Road, ultimately connecting with a 20 inch on I Seacrest Boulevard. So there is an ample supply of water to handle this project. For the first phase, which is anticipated to take place II 'I!, immediately west of the E-4 Canal, a connection to a la-inch across , the Boynton Canal is planned, which would be a loop to the system, moving back to the l6-inch on Congress Avenue. At final buildout i the~e will be minQr and major loops within the system carrying la-inch II and 8-inch lines. II \ 1\ The sewer system bas a master main located along the Boynton Canal, consisting of three lift stations, where all sewage emanating from this project will be introduced into the system. A rather elaborat~ study was made of the drainage system, dividing it into basins and s1l1b-basins to determine the amount of runoff, keeping in ~ind the requitements of retention of water as well as getting I water off the dev,loped areas into the ponds. Basically, there will i' be an 80 acre lak$ system scattered throughout the project, and there ! are 'four basins 0* the project. Water will be collected from the !; development to th~ retention ponds and int.rodu.ced to the Boynton Canal 11:\ and the E-4 Canal. In devising these drainage basins, consideration was given to the ridge lines and the natural flow of the drainage .: wat~rs. The system of drainage provides for the first hour of a I' I I three-year frequency storm. Sou~h Florida Wat~r Management District is placing another condition on ~ll industrial sites as part of the requirements of the Treasure Coa~t Planning Council: that is, that all industrial sites will be pro~ided with an impervious retention area in addition to the secon- darY: retention area. This primary, impervious, lined retention area wil~ require a lesser amount of retention, but the notion is that any waters coming from industrial sites will ultimately get to that reten- I tion site on that particular tract of land, which will be deed res~ricted for thgt land. It will have to enter that particular small i; ret~ntion area before it builds up and is introduced to the major lift! are~s. This type of retention is rather new in the piping system: the I OQj~ct is that, in case there should be spills or oils on loading pla~forms or on parking areas, the first place to receive those con- cen~rations are in these impervious lined ponds. The.lakes, besides I ser ing as a func~ion for retention, also will serve as an area for a : sou ce of material to fill in lower areas. A 9.5 contour is required, 1'1 whi h is at the g~ound water level. There will not be a need for cut~ing down higher ground to make a balanced dirt situation on this i\ projiect. I I ;1 i I i I concerning the geology of this project, the borings indicate highly perJious soils with good drainability with the exception of a few low are~s which have a couple of feet of muck, which will have to. be remo~ed but is of no great consequence. - 9 - MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 r ." Mr. Post said Mr. Rossi was their last speaker. He then referred to material reflecting the 28 conditions that were imposed on the project by the Regional Planning Council when they gave their approval, plus 16 additional conditions recommended by the City staff. All of these conditions, to which the developer has agreed, are contained in the proposed development order, which he said the Council members should have before them. Be then invited questions fr.om the Council. Councilman Cassandra asked if the PID is approved, will the city codes of toqay hold 30 years from now when the project is expected to be completed, or will our code change as well as our PIn definition. If the code changes, will the developer be required to honor the new r~' code? Mr. James Vance, City Attorney, said essentially a DRI is an expen~ive undertakingi a fair amount of money has been invested by the i devetpper to this point. The state DRI plan envisages that, if ij someone goes to all of this trouble, when they receive approval, they receive spmething that gives them a vested right--samething they can I count oni however, with respect to a building code, they would have to comply with the code as it exists at the time they apply for a permit. I If they receive DRI approval, they get a development order, which will Ii be ~~proved by the City Council as it sees fit, which will give them i cert.~n vested rights, basically this project for its eventual deve- lopment and buildout. Mr. Cassandra asked if this means that, if he is unhappy with some of the ~Qssible high-tech industry that may come in, he must put in that stip~lation before he approves this. Mr. Vance responded that the DRI ~pprbach does not really relate to any particular given use. In 1;eSp~>DSe to Mr. Cassandra I s comment that he is concerned about a spe- qifi€ given use, Mr. Vance answered that he thinks he has a problem with!DRI'S. Mr. Cassandra expressed his concern for the citizens of Boynton Beach as they--not DRI--live here. Anot~er question was asked by Mr. Cassandra regarding the small pocket ~oned Rl-AAA, and Mr. Annunziato explained there are two parcels of landlwhich remain part in and part out of the City. The County pocket is z~ned RS, a County single-family zoning classification, and the City I parcel of land is zoned Rl-AAi there is one owner for both. If the land is zoned PID, it would not be conducive to single-family devetopment and would probably be addressed either by the applicant or by t~e City. All of this land is vacant and undeveloped. -;::10", , , counli.lman Cassandra said one recurring theme concerns him throughout the eview of the report by the Treasure Coast and South Florida Water Mana ement District and some of the comments by our own staff, and that is toxic hazardous contamination. He said he is not a believer in building containers for the hazard or the contamination--he would rather not have anything hazardous there. He said statements from the Trea~ure Coast and South Florida Water Management District reports indi~ate they do not believe our code does not address hazardous conditions or hazardous waste, and he believes the City must somehow contiol what goes in the development as far as contamination is con- ~'" - 10 - I I' Ii il , I' ,I Ii [I ,I MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCEi BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 Ii cerned. He then asked Mr. Post if there are any companies going there II which would produce toxic or hazardous waste in any form. Mr. Post il said there will probably be companies that will produce substances I tha~ are classified as toxic waste~ however, toxic waste is being pro- II duced every day in the city now. He said the answer is adequate 1\ controls and means of disposing of toxic waste, which can be done and 1:1 is being done daily everywhere. He said the Treasure Coast made the point, correctly, that now in South Florida and he thinks in Florida !I in general the laws relating to toxic waste are in a state of con- :: fusion, and this is true nationally. He said we cannot outlaw toxic 'I waste--it will happen--but we must develop regulations, ordinances and I stat:utes to deal with this at all levels of government, which is being done now. /~ II !\ 11 II 1\ I I Mr. Post said the City of Boynton Beach has demonstrated that they have an alert, wide awake city staff who does a good job. For ex~ple, the city has in the ground now the water and sewer capacity to qandle a development of this kind because of planning and for~thought over a period of years, and the same thing can be done wit~ handling toxic waste. He went on to say there is nothing mysterious about toxic waste--it is chemicals that can be handled in due 'course of events, and he believes the City will develop the ordi- nances and the ways and means to handle them. He pointed out that 1 hosplitals produce toxic waste, but no one wants to eliminate hospi- ,: talsj, and he cannot say there will not be businesses here who will not 1\ produce substances that would technically be classified as toxic 'II waste, but it can and will be disposed of. One of the most important I cdnc,erns should b~ what it does to our ground water drinking supplies. II In this area, this is not a source of potable water for this portion 11 of the County, sotha t makes the problem less critical. I, I ""7"7.!.. Attorney Vance said the DRI process does not lend itself to saying there will be a plant that manufactures a certain product~ however, in relation to toxic waste the situation is the same as for building II cOdes--anything bu;ilt in the Park would be subject to any ordinance '1',.,\, amendments or modifications relating to how toxic waste is handled. If w~ amend our ordinance two years hence regarding disposal, reten- II tion or non-use of! some types of facilities, that would apply, and also the Health Department regulations and the state regulations II relating to toxic w,. astes as they are modified over the years, for this I is d~rectly relate<i to pUblic health and welfare. II i I Mr. fost said that, was well expressed--they are subject to changes in the ?uilding code,l the sanitary code, etc. He said he is of the . understanding theylwill have certain vested rights the city will grant! now that they cannpt tamper with lightly. For example, if $1,000,000 '1'\' is spent improving' the roads in the area, he does not think this or futu~e City Councils can say they have decided to zone the land R-l, '\ I! for the money has been spent in development and providing traffic capa~i ty to take c~re of the planned industrial district--that is a [I vestTd right, but the other things the City can and will modify. \ II I' ,I 'I - 11 - . MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE 'I BOYNTON BEACH. FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8. 1984 I, , i I, 1\ - Councilman Cassandra said he wanted to voice his concern about the environmental issue--toxic waste contamination. He does not agree with the contention that it is going to be here, so live with it. He said he has seen these problems in other communities which were not controlled. Before we give approval, he would like to have a report fron,l the applicant stating what toxic waste or toxic material he will be ~nvolved with; then the City could decide if they want it here. Mr. :Post answered that under the state law now, anyone producing toxic waste is required to make reports to the Department of Environmental Regulation, so the city would know all about it. He said identifying potential toxic waste could be part of the building permit process. /.... -......-~ The 'question of i~provement to Seacrest Boulevard was raised by Mr. qaSdandra, who mentioned that other major roads in the area have been ad.d5essed, but not, Seacrest, which will have the fallout of traffic tha'1 will come due to the project. Mr. Zook answered that N.W. 22nd Ave,ue would be w~dened all the way to Seacrest, and Seacrest is to be wid ned north and!south of N.W. 22nd Avenue as part of the proje~t, and that intersec~ion is to be expanded. He said the 1-95 interchange impr~vement will widen the bridge, which might otherwise be a bottle- neck; situation. , Mayo~ Zimmerman r~ferred to the potable water situation in the area, stat~ng there are \no city wells in that location, and the proposal is for a double retedtion system of runoff--the primary system and the lake system--before it runs into the canal. He said the City is con- sideting taking water out of the Boynton Beach Canal for use, which woul~ be receivin~ runoff from this area, and he wondered what the effept would be. I, i' I "" ,I Ii Mayot Zimmerman said the Boynton Canal is presently a drainage canal, jl but ~f we go to it as a source of water, it will become something else. ' Mr. ~ossi answered,that he understands from discussions with the staff I of t~e South Florida Water Management District that the canal drains 1 farmland, which could contain herbicides and insecticides, as well as I deve\oped land. He thinks this project has, through the double reten- I tion system, done its best to take care of as much of the problem as Ii 1 1, , Mr. ~ossi said he is aware there is a feasibility study being done by the city of the po~sibility of having reverse osmosis with micro- filtration and dra~ing water out of the Boynton Canal at some point. He said he discussed this with the South Florida Water Management Disttict, and thei~ response was that the Boynton Canal is a drainage canai--not a wateri source. Not only does this project have impact on it, ~ut every othe~ project that dumps drainage water and not pretteated water ipto it. They said they would have to deal with the applfcation as it parnes along, because there are other factors affe~ting the qual~ty of that water besides this particular project. But ~e said there ~as been interplay between this project and the Sout~ Florida Water Management District and are taking it into con- sideration. -:"n"1)... ;:-;'.;'100.. - 12 - " " O:>--_l..>.. ..,.r'>--' /' ~ II 'I !

Mayor zimmerman asked Mr. ' Rossi if h7 th~ught then that t~is project would not add materially to I! the contam1nat1on of the water 1n the canal as best he could see, and 'II Mr. Rossi answered it would not. il couq.cilman Cassandra said when the South Florida Water Management :, Dis~rict reviewed Riteco's application, the report said their staff II and .the staff O.f the Lake Worth Drainage District determined there was 'I' not renough runoff, and the design would have to be changed; he asked I if ~his had been done. Mr. Rossi replied that in June of this year I' the!Lake Worth Drainage District in the C-16 basin decided to cut the! allqwable runoff in half. The original report came out before that II June date; subsequently, they have been furnished with the restricted flows, and they have accepted this latest report. Ii Mr. Cassandra asked within what percentage of tolerance we would be of I the 'allowable percolation formula for this size of area, considering i\"\' that a portion of the 540 acres would be covered with concrete and would be lost. Mr. Rossi answered that the 80 acres of lake is more II tha~ would normally be needed to handle the retention, and this com- , bin~d with the ability of the soil to retain water and the high I dra1nability of this soil should be adequate. I 1\ h II II II Ii II i\ Mr. Cassandra raised the issue of the lack of laws concerning the han~ling of hazardous material and stated perhaps the City should make som~ laws to deal with this. Mr. Vance said that is a complicated and tec~nical area, and usually an entity with much more money than the City! initiates that, such as the state, who has basically taken charge of cpntrolling the disposal of hazardous waste. He said he is not aware of the present level of state effort and what studies they have ma~el or,ar7 making. A~ this is an,ex~e~sive u~dertaking, he said he th1nKs 1t 1S not pract1cal for an 1nd1v1dual C1ty to do Mr. Cheney, City Manager, said there has been a tremendous increase in the State's interest and involvement, and one of the things the state is npw doing is taking an inventory of what hazardous waste exists now ~' ithin the State. In Palm Beach County that has been delegated by I the tate and County Commission. The inventory will determine what ther is; then the ways of handling it can be addressed.

'I I, II II I I - MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 Mr. Cassandra said the City of Boynton Beach requires a minimum road elevation set at or above a 100 year flood stage, which the Federal Emergency Management Agency map indicates is 11 feet. Mr. Post answered that the drainage design calls for minimum floor elevations of 14 feet and minimum road elevations of 12 feet. Mr. Vance said Mr. Post had referred to the draft DRI statement and indicated the Council had it in front of them; he said they do not have the Development Order. Mr. Annunziato said perhaps this is the proper time to discuss for the Council's edification some of the conditions that have been outlined. Ther~ were two sets of conditions; one was a set of staff comments recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board as modified by the Board and a set of requirements imposed on the development by the Regional Planning Council, both of which are included in the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation to the city Council. The appl~cant has agreed to comply to all of these requirements, to some more graciously than others, except Item 5. . I " II II II Mr. Vance said, with reference to Condition No.5, a draft ordinance Iii.: relating to civic impact was prepared and furnished to the applicant. A development of this size has an impact on civic facilities, in this II inst~nce a rather substantial one in all probability. The applicant :' appatently has some problem with the formula, which was developed with II the ~ity' s in-house study, and the amount of dedication and/or money 1.1. or a combination. In an effort to be fair, Mr. Vance said, they I. . cont,cted an expert ~n the area, who has prepared a lot of ~mpact stu- II ~~~~yf~~l~~I~~U~og~~~r~~~:;de~i~i~e~m~c~h~r~i:;:~e~ndT~~s~~~;e~e:1S II whatithey have is based on concern and dedicated in-house research and I, effo+t and represents at this point a fair impact with reference to this'area. However, wanting to be eminently fair to the applicant, we h~ve suggested there is an alternative approach if the applicant 'Ii II has a serious problem with the numbers which were arrived at based upon, Condition No.5. The alternative is that we retain the expert, II' who happens to be a Ph.D. who works for Florida Atlantic University, that! the applicant pay for the cost of the study, estimated to be 1','1. $15,600 to $20,000, and that the applicant agree to accept the numbers deveioped in this study. This gives the applicant a choice, and Mr. 'I', Vance asked for the applicant's comments in reference to this matter. ",'" Mr. :fost said the applicant's position has been accurately stated; 1,'1 theyibave reservations about the legality of the ordinance the City has ~roposed. He said Riteco has always taken the position that they I reco9ni~e that developments o~ any size--and thi~ i~ a large one--c:o ,II' create ~mpact upon the commun~ty, and they are w~ll~ng to pay for ~ts i ji - 14 - Ii :1 ,.. ,~ i I ! \ ~ i I i : -, 1 i ~i.

The question is whether or not this ordinance properly addresses the impact and whether some of the things designated as impact are impacts from this project. They will abide by whatever ordinance the City adopts with respect to impact, and they assume it will be a legal ordinance. If it is legal, it can and will be enforced, and they can and will obey it. He went on to say that they could hardly agree to abide by the numbers of an ordinance that has not yet been written, and did not think the City would want to be in that' position either, for the study might produce numbers the City woul4 be pleased with. Mr. Vance answered that we could all agree to go on hold for the couple of months it would take to get the results of the study in relation to the impact of this area and determine if the figures were agreeable to both sides. 1\ Ii II II He said this issue came up with another development in the City, and II that 'developer at the time of annexation agreed to give some land, not II raising the question of whether it was legal or illegal. At that time we c6mmi tted to treat all developers in the City the same way, 11\, according to what he voluntarily agreed to when he annexed, and we have that obligation. He said Riteco can agree, whether it is legal 'II or not, to follow the formula they put forth, and if they volunteer to do tqat, it does n9t matter if it is legal. If they think those \','\ figuies are high o~ wrong, then it is suggested we hire someone to do that Istudy. The c~ty does not need that study at this time, so we \ suggest the developer pay for it. The money can be given to the City, 'I and ~he study will be done by a highly eminent and respectable source in a couple of months.

We are talking about a gentleman who works for the public sector, so he has a continuing reputation to maintain, so we do not have to worry about that. He said they have indicated both at this meeting and a previous one that Riteco is anxi9us to pay their share. Mr. V,ance said if the study is to be done, we can stop talking about an ordinance; we will talk about a development order.

Mr. Cheney said we could have proceeded with a development order on this project and never raised the issue of civic dedication now, and whatever ordinance we passed in the future, assuming it is legal, would apply to this project without any pre-notice. In order to assuJ::'e that everything we are doing is up front, we addressed this iSsu, in the staff reports so the developer would know that we are work1ng on a civic dedication ordinance that will pass and would be applicable here--there would be no surprises. We are trying now to work out something that will make sense to everyone, and he believes the ~tudy will make sense. We will have in some way a civic dedica- tion'ordinance. Ii Mr. 'rance said we will work with the development order to be issued by I'. the yity and a reasonable determination of the impact in this area as ,I it applies to the City. Whether or not the developer agrees with that \,1 he thinks would have some effect on the City's attitude toward approving the project. Mr. Post said their concern is insuring the legality of the ordinance conc4rning this matter. Mr. Cheney asked if he thought the draft of the ordinance they had put forth was an unreasonable measure for . ' . ~mpaqt, and Mr. Post answered that he d1d and the request does not bear a proper relationship to the cause. He said they think they are bein~ asked to pay an impact fee that does not represent a legitimate ~mpaat of their project on the City. He went on to say that differen- ces qf opinion arise frequently, and that does not bother them. Mr. Chen~y said the City received no response from the developer on this issu~, but only received a quickly-drawn opinion from the attorney, which they have not had a chance to discuss. , '" Mr. Gheney again asked Mr. Post if he thinks the demand from the draft ordiqance is too much, and he replied that he did and they do not want to g~ve that much for that purpose. '" Mr ~ ~ance s~id thlat iSlc.>nf~ re~sOI~ ~hey have suggested the approhach of :,1, US1na an em1nent y qua 1 1ed 1nd1v1dual to do a study and see w at the results are.

II I ,I II II \1 Ii Mr. ~ost suggested that they proceed under the assumption that an agreement will be reached in this matter, and he asked for a three- minutie recess to confer with Mr. Wade Riley regarding Ritecol.s being will~ng to fund a study of the proposed ordinance. He said he had misu~derstood an earlier statement, thinking the contention was that an ondinance could be drafted in a couple of months. He requested I - 16 - , II II I II i I I :""";---~.'\. .-r~r...... ."...... .."....., . 'MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 -that the Council approve the development order with Item 5 subject to negotiation, and if agreement is not reached, the City could cancel the development order, and if Riteco does not like it, they could quit. Mr. Vance said we might be able to work out some language, but we have an indication that the study can be done in a six-week to two-month tim~ period, and he thinks it would be simpler to hold everything in abeyance while this is done. He added that we intend to do this in totally good faith and based on the problems the developer has with the formula we now have. Mr.J'Cheney said if we proceeded with the drafting of the development ord r, we could save some time but nQt lose anything for either party. And he said, even though we agree on just about everything, it may tak~ the attorneys 30 or 45 days to get the development order drafted withl that one item left open. Mr. Vance said he was referring to adop~ion of the development order--not to draftingi the drafting would proc~ea. Mr. Post said he sees no reason to deviate from the time- table that has been established while we proceed with the study. Mr. 11, vanc~ said any funding would go directly to the City rather than the individual hired for the studYi the City would then make payment to him. Mr. ~heney mentioned an item from the City staff's comments concerning the possibility of researching a land swap. Item 14 on Exhibit D of the *,emorandum of October 24, 1984, from the City Planner to the city Manager refers to an attached letter from Mr. Wade Riley dated October 22, :J,.984. He read the letter from Mr. Riley, which is based on disc~ssions regarding a 12 acre piece of land located at the intersec- tionlof N.W. 22nd Avenue and the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. Mr. Chen~y said we acknowledge that this is a piece of property the City got from the County at one time and that there is a reverter clause on j, it. IAfter studying and thinking about this, they think the County woul~ probably be willing to give up the reverter clause on that piece of l~nd and substitute it for another piece of land He said he wants the fecord to show they want to pursue that matter and see if it can be w rked out, as there is the general feeling that the city and the deveopment would benefit, and the general public would rest more easi y knowing the outdoor pistol range was not at that location. So they 'do accept Mr. Riley's suggestion that it be researched. Mr. Cheney said that other than this item and Item No.5, all other com- I. . ments from the C1ty staff and the Treasure Coast staff are acceptable I Mr. ~ost said their understanding on the potential land swap has been stated correctly, and they are willing to proceed on that same basis. Mr. rlavid presley, Attorney representing Riteco, said he wanted to clar~fy that the expert who is being considered to do the impact study was dontacted initially by him on behalf of Riteco, and he instructed him ~o meet with Mr. Annunziato, the City Planner, at their cost, for he thought it was in the best interest of everybody to have a valid - 17 - . · .MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 /" , -.-..,., .impact ordinance. Mr. Vance confirmed that he was contacted by Mr. Presley, and they met with him somewhat extensively and checked some of the other work he had done for Palm Beach County, for example, on road impact fees, and they thought he was a qualified expert. Mr. Cheney said it was not appropriate to use his name in a public meeting, because he does not know we are talking about it. I' II \1 I Mayo~ Zimmerman said they would like the public to know that they :1 woula have a chance to give their opinions in the discussion after the II short intermission. There was a brief intermission at 9:30 p.m. I Mayor zimmerman called the meeting back to order and said we have a 'i repo~t the developer is ready to give their position, and then the II audience will have an opportunity to speak. 1\ Mr. Post said Ri teco will accept the proposal that was made and will \1 fund: the study, to be done expeditiously, and will abide by the results of the study, and they assume the City will abide by the results of I.' the ~tudy, and that the administrative procedures will continue while ,[ the study is being made. Mr. Cheney said in addition to the Riteco II proj~ct, which possibly could be an agreed-to thing, this will be on :: the books forever. In the long run, the City wants an ordinance on Ii the ~ooks which is solid, legal and will stand up, and they are con- I fident this process is one way of getting such an ordinance. Be said :1 if we want one that will stand up, we Obviously agree to abide by the il reco~endations of this study. He recommended to the Council that, if I thislresu1ts in a. DRI approval, the City credit back to the developer 'I'i theii up-front costs for the study. He said the agreement is that we ' wou1 proceed to draft the development order, and if an extension of ' the 0 day period for adoption is required, he assumes an extension of !I time Iwould be granted. Mr. Presley said statute states it is at the 1\ requ~st of the developer, so he will request it. . Mr. ~!,ance said the approximate charge for the study will be $15,000 to 1\ $20, 00, and Mr. Post said they are agreeing to not more than $20,000. " Mr. 'heney said he is sure they can agree not to exceed $20,000, and ,I they!would like authorization to proceed with a negotiated contract as 1:,1'. rapidly as possible and to execute it if it is within the $20,000 1imi~. r Mayo~ Zimmerman said we would hear the public first, and he asked that I' anyo~'e wishing to speak give his name and address. ,\ I I ." ~ '"'" Mr. Donald R.

The primary goal of the Chamber of Comm~rce is to secure new job opportunities and to expand the tax base for ~he Greater Boynton Beach area. This is done by helping and -3:8 - '[ I il !' \ II \1 II ;1 I! , iI .. I ,I !I i: II .. encouraging existing business and industry to expand and the attrac- il tion of new business and industry to this area. In many instances II., success is dependent upon having a good location for that expanded or new business. In the past Boynton Beach has not had a good site on Ii which to locate these projects, but recently the picture has begun to change and the Ri teco project is a real plus for the Ci tyof Boynton II Beach. Modern requirements demand locations in well-designed, Iii.'. pleasing park environment in which needed daily services are present and parks are closeby. All of this will be offered in the Ri teco pro- II ject. New job creation in the first years will be at I, 620 and will 1,1. grow over the years to 13,409 employees. Corresponding annual payrolls run from 31.4 million to 261.4 million dollars. Ad valorem taxes at buildout estimated within 30 years to the City of Boynton jl Beac~ would be $2,830,000 annually. Assessed valuation of the project · at t~at point is estimated at 813.7 million dollars. That valuation !\ exceeds the total valuation of all th~ real property in Boynton Beach .\ this 'year. There will be problems, but Riteco, Inc., will be contri- buting not only new jobs, city taxes, industrial and business sites, I, taxes to all taxing bodies, but also impact fees for street and road impr~vements, intersection improvements and land or money for expanded city.service centers. New businesses produce new jobs, which are I fillE!!d by new people. New people mean new buyers for new homes, new li\ taxpayers, new customers for existing and new businesses and the basis ' for lhe attraction of additional small businesses. The Chamber of Co~$rce and representives of the Economi.c Development Committee have studted the DRI report and sincerely believe the approval of this application for zoning changes and development are in the best in~eiests of the people and the City of Boynton Beach; therefore, I urge this City Council to approve the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Board. . . . . . -MINUTES-SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING/BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 8, 1984 /'""'- ~,." r' \.
