SUBJECT: QUANTUM PARK
For your information a meeting was held several weeks ago with
representatives from Southeast Atlantic Corporation (Canada Dry),
publix Supermarkets, Quantum Corporate Park, and City staff
involving the landscape buffer along the southern border of
Quantum Park and the problem with continuous noise emanating from
the several businesses located in the southern portion of the
park Mr Ron wickham, resident of Sky Lake, and located
directly across the canal from Canada Dry and Publix, was also in
attendance
Southeast Atlantic (Canada Dry) indicated that they are not a 24
hour operation, and they have taken several measures to abate
noises by ceasing receiving after 8 00 PM (some exceptions
though) and limiting the use of the intercom system They noted
that their fleet garage closes at 6 00 PM In summary, they felt
that noise is really not an issue with them at this time
publix warehouse indicated that they have taken measures
including cutting off the intercoms at 11 00 PM and limiting
their hours involving hooking up trailers till 10 00 PM They
did state that certainly noise is caused by the hooking up of the
trailers however, that is part of their operations (and will be
limited henceforth based on time of day)
As for Quantum Corporate Park and the need to process a master
plan modification for the landscape buffer along the south border
of the area, Paul Smith mentioned that a letter should be written
to him addressing this matter, and he in turn will set the gears
in motion to accommodate this task Said letter was written a
week or so ago to Mr Smith on this master plan modification for
the buffer
It appeared that all persons in attendance were in agreement with
the measures to be taken to abate noise from the businesses, and
I feel that Mr Wickham was satisfied with what he heard from
both Southeast Atlantic and publix Hopefully this matter will
be able to be put to rest, except for processing the master plan

RE: QUANTUM CORPORATE PARK BlJ.t".t"&<.
Dear Paul
As discussed at last Friday morning's meeting (being November 12,
1993) reference the landscape buffer requirements along the south
and west borders of the park, a master plan modification for
clarification purposes on said perimeter buffer is still an
outstanding item that needs to be addressed by Quantum. An
application along with design drawings must be filed with the
Planning and Zoning Department to initiate this process Please
contact Tambri Heyden, Acting Planning and Zoning Director, at
375-6264 for further details
Enclosed herewith please find a copy of memorandum number 93-83C
from Carrie Parker, Assistant City Manager, to my attention
regarding the buffer wall issue at Quantum Park, and providing
additional information on this specific subject matter. A copy
of the minutes of the October 15, 1993 regular City Commission
meeting is also enclosed for your viewing and use.
In order to set a definite design of the landscape buffer for
detail in future developments along the perimeter of the park, I
would appreciate your assistance in moving this project along to
completion. The sooner the modification becomes effective the
clearer it becomes to potential businesses as to what is expected

SUBJECT: QUANTUM CORPORATE PARK
Attached hereto for your information please find copies of memos
and correspondence regarding the southern district/border of
Quantum Park; specifically the buffer wall issue, the loud noises
from publix Warehouse, and the landscape buffer of Canada Dry
Distribution Center
Directing attention to the buffer wall issue, please see
memorandum number 93-83C for details As noted, Quantum still
needs to proceed with a master plan modification on the perimeter
buffers for clarification purposes The past Director of
Planning & Zoning, Chris Cutro, was attempting to get this done,
however, he achieved no success primarily due to the change in
the Park ownership The staff of the Planning Department is
still awaiting Quantum's application for this modification
Reference the noise emanating from the publix Warehouse, the area
representative, Jim Slappey, has issued a notice to the warehouse
to cut-off the intercom system and abate horn blowing at night
He has also investigated these noise complaints from the
residential community and has indicated to Scott Blasie, Chief
Code Enforcement Officer, that he has not found noises which he
feels would constitute a nuisance Hopefully, Mr Slappey's note
will help
I have been advised from Code Enforcement that the landscape
buffer along the south side of the Canada Dry Distribution Center
has been completed (new plantings for the dead ones), in
accordance with the approved plan

SUBJECT
Buffer wall Issue at Quantum Park
At a recent City Commission meeting the question arose as to
whether or not a wall was required specifically behind Southeast
Atlantic Corporation (Canada Dry) and more generally if a wall
was required around all of the south side of the Industrial Park
as it fronted on the canal but the adjacent zoning was residential
Tambri Heyden, Acting Planning Director, did some extensive
research on this topic and the following information is presented
for your review
The original PID requirement called for a 40 foot greenbelt when
development abutted residential property and a 6 foot wall.
Safety Kleen was approved in 1989 with this requirement
Southeast Atlantic Corporation (Canada Dry) appeared before the
City Commission on October 15, 1991 for site plan approval They
submitted a request to change these buffer requirements These
changes were reviewed and unanimously approved by the Planning
and zoning Board prior to being placed before the City
Commission. The following changes that regarded the wall and
buffer were made and approved by the City Commission (minutes and
agenda back-up attacted)
1 whether a greenbelt is required it will be determined by land
use, not zoning Industrial, office, R & D, or commercial
uses that abuts residential will have a 40 foot buffer,
industrial office, R & D or commercial abutting any of the
same uses will have a 25 foot buffer
2 No wall is required (deletion of '11 from Building Department
memorandum)
3 Buffers shall be measured from the Quantum Park perimeter
property lines inward and water shall be included as an
acceptable part of such buffers A minimum of twenty feet of
earth shall be provided

4 Landscape planting requirements were established, but peri-
meter landscape buffering was approved on a lot by lot
basis, but must be completed prior to issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy
Canada Dry's landscaping was planted, however, much of it died
and they have been replanting There is still one outstanding
item, a master plan modification for clarification purposes,
incorporating the results of the October 15, 1991 meeting was
never developed and signed by both parties The Planning
Department had stated earlier that this Master Plan Modification
was a clarification of enforcement between Quantum Associates and
the City of Boynton Beach and did not need to be submitted to

Mr Cutro stated that staff recommended approval to the Planning
& zoning Board. Planning & Zoning requested that the owner
obtain, in writing, prior to the Commission meeting, an agreement
from the homeowners' association that the problems had been
worked out Mr. Cutro suggested that agreement be submitted at
the time of final sign-off of the site plans. There are minor
problems they are working out He pointed out that Items 6 and 8

They are over and above what the Code and plat require The

this site plan subject to the City Attorney determining that the
Unity of Control for Lot 49 and 49A is sufficient and deletion of
the Building Department comment, and if the City Attorney and
staff determines that a buffer wall is not required, the appli-
cant sha~~onstruct a chain link fence with vegetative buffer
which consists of native hedge material at a minimum height of 2'
and a mixture of native canopy trees
The subject of buffering was discussed at length at previous
meetings. South Florida Water Management District has a per-
petual easement over Lot 149A At a meeting with the applicant
and Quantum they proposed that there will be a 40' buffer from
residential and 25' buffer from other uses. The buffer will
include water There is a minimum of 20' of landscaping
required The landscaping which will be provided will be over
and above the landscaping requirements in effect at the time the
site plan is approved, plus an additional tree 12' in height with
an 8' canopy for every 25' of rear property and an additional
four shrubs to be moved around the property. The buffer will
include any plantable area up to the rear of the building. In
this particular case, there is no plantable area up to the rear
of the building. All of the landscaping will be at the rear of
the property line The setback of the building will be measured
from the canal. Mr. Cutro believes the setbacks should be
measured from the top of the canal bank. They must have control
in that area and maintain it This will give the City a firm
footing on which to approve plans Each buffer will be installed
before a Certificate of Occupancy is issued on the building.
This has been a point of argument between the City and Quantum in
the past
Mr Cutro suggests approving the site plan, adding these stipula-
tions and conditions for Lot t49A and with a further stipulation
that Quantum provide a master plan modification for the remainder
of the site for all of the canals around Quantum Park
At the map, Mr. Cutro pointed out that according to Code, the
applicant will have to provide 175 hedges and nine trees
Additionally, they will be required to provide twelve trees and
forty-eight large-scale hedges.
Commissioner Aguila feels Quantum has agreed to a good proposal
which will solve many problems
Anna Cottrell, Planner with Urban Design, 2000 Palm Beach Lakes
Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida, represented the applicant
She congratulated staff for the work done on this project She
asked that the record reflect the agreement which was reached
regarding the buffering requirements for Lot t49A will supercede

possible. The ~nification of the two lots is accomplished with
the approval of the site plan No other development can take
place Item I~ should be deleted because the setback distance
will be tr~om the top of the bank. Item Ill, regarding the buffer
wall, will not be required Item #24, regarding landscaping was
discussed in detail by Mr Cutro and therefore, this item should
be deleted Item #27 should also be deleted because it also
refers to the buffering which has been discussed in detail. All
other staff conditions are acceptable and the developer is
agreeable to them.
Ralph Marchese, 1901 Roma Way, read an article which appeared on
Page 12 of the Boynton Beach Times dated October 10, 1991, "Key
Not the Price". He quoted Mr. Peter Johnson.
"Boynton Beach's quality of life swayed the company
more than price, he said Really, what our deci-
sion was based on, while price is important to us,
this community was more important to us, Johnson
said Southeast Atlantic looked at several proper-
ties in the area that were much less expensive, but
they decided to go Quantum, he said However,
Johnson said, the new City Commission, elected in
March and their vote on the District have affected
the company's decision to buy. I do know that
having a change in the political culture that
governs Boynton Beach, he said, has certainly
improved desirability of the site."
Mr. Marchese congratulated the Commission for their favorable
decision with regard to Quantum Park.
Eleanor Shuman, 2520 NE 1st Court, spoke on behalf of the
Community Appearance Board. She pointed out that as a result of
the last Community Appearance Board meeting, a motion was made to
request that the City Commission have Quantum Park meet a
requirement to uniformly landscape the peripheral buffer zones
She stated there have been many problems dealing with applicants
in Quantum because of the lack of this information.

Mayor Weiner thanked Ms. Shuman for attending the meeting and

feels it is a great relief to the Commission to have Boards such
as the CAB which make good recommendations and follow them up by
attending the Commission meetings to reiterate their recommen-
dations

needed to supply before a recotnmendation could be made to go for-
ward. The three items deal with: 1) a traffic control plan
showing where the barriers would be placed on the street which
the trucks will cross; 2) the exact route of the trucks in the
fill operation to allow for assessment of pavement damage, and 3)
the posting of appropriate surety in the amount of $2,500 in case
of damage to the roadway. Items.l and 2 were supplied to Mr.
Staudinger this afternoon and Mr Rossi, the applicant's

RE
Quantum Park Buffer
The original P I D for Quantum Park requires a peripheral
greenbelt of 40 feet when development is adjacent to residential
property In the past it has been interpreted that a 6 foot wall
is required in this buffer
In Quantum Park property, the developed parcels are not
directly adjacent to residential Instead there are a series of
intervening lots which will be owned by the C D D and contain
canals, canal banks and some land This situation does not
require a b foot wall
Deutsch Ireland has proposed the following conditions for
the buffer areas on canals:
ouantum Park P.I.D. GreenBelt Buffers.
1 Whether a greenbelt buffer is required, will be determined
by land use not zoning An industrial use, office use, R&D
use, or commercial/retail use within Quantum Park that abuts
a residential use outside Quantum Park shall have a forty
foot wide greenbelt buffer separating such uses from
adjacent residential uses An industrial use, office use,
R&D use, or commercial/retail use within Quantum Park that
abuts any of the same uses outside Quantum Park shall have a
twenty-five foot greenbelt buffer between the uses
2 All buffers shall be measured from Quantum Park peria.ter
Property lines inward and water shall be included as "0*
acceptable part of such buffers Whenever necessary, the
buffer dimensions shall be increased such that a minimum of
twenty feet of earth is provided in a continuous fashion
Such areas shall be planted in accordance with number 3
below
3 All planting plans for the greenbelt buffer shall be
submitted to the city of Boynton Beach for approval when
development plans for the adjoining buffered area are
submitted planting within the buffer shall be the
responsibility of Quantum Associates, but at sometimes may
be contractually delegated to the adjacent property
developer Plantings of the buffer shall be completed prior
to the Certificate of occupancy being issued on the buffered
property In addition to Boynton Beach Landscape
Requirements, as amended from time to time, the number of
plants/trees to be provided shall be based upon perimeter
frontage For each tt ~v-five feet thet a parcel either
fronts on or cont. ~ _ _ __~__ ......lIfer, four
additional shrubs, three foot, six inches in height at the
time of planting, shall be required and one additional tree,
with a minimum two and one half inch caliber, twelve foot,
zero inches minimum height and eight foot, zero inch
diameter minimum canopy, at the time of planting, shall be
l-equired
Such additional landscape materials shall be placed between
the rear of the development and the first twenty feet of
greenbelt buffer area, measured from the boundary of the
development parcel Placement shall be determined based
upon input from the Quantum Park Design Review Committee and
Quantum Park Buffer

the city of Boynton Beach (as part of the site plan review),
and the requirements and restrictions of the South Florida
Water Management District, Lake worth Drainage District, and
Florida Power and Light Any permits required for
landscaping within the South Florida Water Management
District easement areas shall be acquired by Quantum
Associates
A minimum of a twenty feet width of greenbelt buffer shall
receive sod, and the balance of the land area shall be
shaped and seeded to prOVide a completely finished
appearance Maintenance of greenbelt buffer areas shall be
the responsibility of the underlying property owner
Landscaping within the greenbelt buffer shall be irrigated
by a broadcast irrigation system placed along the property
line of the adjacent development parcel, and the
installation and maintenance shall be the responsibility of
such parcel's owner
4 Parcels owned by Quantum Associates, QRA, Inc , or the
Quantum community Development District, may have green space
easements placed upon them that are dedicated to the
adjacent development parcel In such instances, it is
understood by Quantum Associates and the City of Boynton
Beach that building setbacks shall be measured from outside
easement boundary lines rather than the property lines of
the development parcel In those instances where parcels
have a green space easement adjacent to a canal, the
building setbacks shall be measured from the top of the
canal bank
We would recommend that the City Commission approve the site
plan for lot 49 subject to the above conditions with a further
stipulation that Quantum Park submit a master plan modification
for the P I D to include these conditions in the site plans for
future development on the canals on the perimeter of the P I D

29 Regarding the peripheral greenbelt and buffer wall
requirements, I offer the following based on the discussion
at the September 24, 1991 Technical Review Board Meeting
LOT DESCRIPTION Lot 49 and 49A abut each other with
separate owners, Lot 49A abuts the C-16 Canal and is
contiguous with a residential zoned district to the south
Lot 49A is also a perimeter lot of the Quantum Park project
CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PERIPHERAL GREENBELT AND BUFFER
WALL
i PERIPHERAL GREENBELT Section 7 H 17 of Appendix
A-Zoning
The project area shall be enclosed on all
sides with the exception of accessways for traffic
and freight by a landscaped area with a minimum
width of twenty-five (25) feet except when such
property abuts a residential district such
greenbelt shall have a minimum width of forty (40)
feet
It shall be the responsibility of the owner
or developer to carry out this requirement, and to
provide such maintenance or guarantee of
maintenance subject to Planning and Zoning Board
and community Appearance Board approval
ii BUFFFR WALL Section 4 L
For new construction or major modifications
to existing developments, where a commercial
and/or industrial district abuts a residential
district, a solid masonry wall finished on both
sides at least six (6) feet in height shall be
located within the required side and/or rear yards
except with respect to corner lots, said buffer
walls shall be required only on interior lot
lines said buffer walls shall not abridge any
easement rights or be constructed over any
existing utilities in any easement area and shall
be setback two (2) feet from adjoining property
lines With respect to the C-1 (Office and
Commercial Professional District), the solid
masonry wall may be replaced with a dense
vegetative buffer to be maintained by the project
developer
Construction of said decorative masonry wall
or planting of said ve~~t~tive buffer shall be
completed prior t_ _ _~~~ ~~ of
occupancy for the building or buildings sought to
be built in connection herewith
Therefore, ~how the peripheral greenbelt and buffer wall on
Lot 49A However, considering the constraints regarding
installing landscaping other than grass and a buffer wall on
Lot 49A as a result of vested use of the lot by South
Florida Water Management District, I recommend, to satisfy
the greenbelt and buffer wall requirements, that one-half
(1/2) of the forty (40) foot wide greenbelt that includes

the tree, hedge and ground cover landscaping that is subject
to the determination of the Planning and Zoning Board and
Community Appearance Board and the buffer wall (location
subject to the conditions of the existing Florida Power and
Light easement, be placed on Lot 49, and require Lot 49A to
be graded and covered with grass that is irrigated
If Lot 49 and 49A are under single ownership, the lots must
be combined by Unity of Title and my aforementioned
recommendation would remain the same regarding the location
of the landscaping and buffer wall This condition would
satisfy the requirements of the code
The primary recommendation is consistent with the
development of the Safety Kleen Corp site, a project
bordering on the same canal just west of the proposed site
The Safety Kleen site was created by centering the required
forty (40) loot wide peripheral greenbelt over a lot line
with the same condition as Lots 49 and 49A The required
buffer wall was placed on the lot the building was
constructed and north of the fifteen (15) foot wide Florida
Power and Light easement The trees, hedge and ground cover
landscape material was placed within the easement, meeting
the landscape material requirements of Florida Power and
Light The Lot bordering the canal was irrigated and
landscaped with grass to establish the remaining twenty (20)
foot of the greenbelt

RE
Quantum Park Buffer
The original P I D for Quantum Park requires a peripheral
greenbelt of 40 feet when development is adjacent to residential
property In the past it has been interpreted that a 6 foot wall
is required in this buffer
In Quantum Park property, the developed parcels are not
directly adjacent to residential Instead there are a series of
intervening lots which will be owned by the C D D and contain
canals, canal banks and some land This situation does not
require a b foot wall
Deutsch Ireland has proposed the following conditions for
the buffer areas on canals
Quantum Park P.I.D. GreenBelt Buffers.
1 Whether a greenbelt buffer is required, will be determined
by land use not zoning An industrial use, office use, R&D
use, or commercial/retail use within Quantum Park that abuts
a residential use outside Quantum Park shall have a forty
foot wide greenbelt buffer separating such uses from
adjacent residential uses An industrial use, office use,
R&D use, or commercial/retail use within Quantum Park that
abuts any of the same uses outside Quantum Park shall have a
twenty-five foot greenbelt buffer between the uses
2 All buffers shall be measured from Quantua Park Perimeter
property lines inward and water shall be included as an
acceptable part of such buffers Whenever necessary, the
buffer dimensions shall be increased such that a minimum of
twenty feet of earth is provided in a continuous fashion
Such areas shall be planted in accordance with number 3
below
3 All planting plans for the greenbelt buffer shall be
submitted to the city of Boynton Beach for approval when
development plans for the adjoining buffered area are
submitted Planting within the buffer shall be the
responsibility of Quantum Associates, but at sometimes may
be contractually delegated to the adjacent property
developer Plantings of the buffer shall be completed prior
to the Certificate of occupancy being issued on the buffered
property In addition to Boynton Beach Landscape
Requirements, as amended from time to time, the number of
plants/trees to be provided shall be based upon perimeter
frontage For each twenty-fiv r.~et that a parcel either
fronts on or contains a p_._ _ ~ ______ _____., _~ur
additional shrubs, three foot, six inches in height at the
time of planting, shall be required and one additional tree,
with a minimum two and one half inch caliber, twelve foot,
zero inches minimum height and eight foot, zero inch
diameter minimum canopy, at the time of planting, shall be
lequlred
such additional landscape materials shall be placed between
the rear of the development and the first twenty feet of
~leenbelt buffer area, measured from the boundary of the
d~ ~lo~ment parcel Placement shall be determined based
l.pc.n input from the Quantum Park Design Review Commlttee and

the city of Boynton Beach (as part of the site plan review),
and the requirements and restrictions of the South Florida
Water Management District, Lake worth Drainage District, and
Florida Power and Light Any permits required for
landscaping within the South Florida Water Management
District easement areas shall be acquired by Quantum
Associates
A minimum of a twenty feet width of greenbelt buffer shall
receive sod, and the balance of the land area shall be
shaped and seeded to provide a completely finished
appearance Maintenance of greenbelt buffer areas shall be
the responsibility of the underlying property owner
Landscaping within the greenbelt buffer shall be irrigated
by a broadcast irrigation system placed along the property
line of the adjacent development parcel, and the
installation and maintenance shall be the responsibility of
such parcel's owner
4 Parcels owned by Quantum Associates, QRA, Inc , or the
Quantum Community Development District, may have green space
easements placed upon them that are dedicated to the
adjacent development parcel In such instances, it is
understood by Quantum Associates and the City of Boynton
Beach that building setbacks shall be measured from outside
easement boundary lines rather than the property lines of
the development parcel In those instances where parcels
have a green space easement adjacent to a canal, the
building setbacks shall be measured from the top of the
canal bank
We would recommend that the City Commission approve the site
plan for lot 49 subject to the above conditions with a further
stipulation that Quantum Park submit a master plan modification
for the P I D to include these conditions in the site plans for
future development on the canals on the perimeter of the P I D

with the same condition as Lots 49 and 49A The required
buffer wall was placed on the lot the building was
constructed and north of the fifteen (15) foot wide Florida
Power and Light easement The trees, hedge and ground cover
landscape material was placed within the easement, meeting

RE
Buffer at Quantum Park
The Planned Industrial Development for Quantum Park requires a
landscape buffer on the south side and the northwest corner of the
site where the property abuts residential property.
The original buffer as presented contains a wall and shrubs but
does not quarantee a visual buffer. The buffer was expected to be
installed on a bUilding-by-building basis When the Canada Dry
building was built, Deutsch/Ireland requested to change the buffer
for that structure and the City Commission agreed with that
request The change increased the landscaping, and we hoped would
create a green visual barrier for that site. Unfortunately, small
plant material has been planted so it will take some time to fully
evaluate the effect of the approved buffer
Peter Henn, who has been representing Quantum Park, has indicated
that Melvin Simon, the owner of Quantum Park, wishes to again
modify the buffer I stressed to him the desire of the City to
create a visual screen in the buffer areas by requiring the
planting of oversized landscaping. While he seemed amicable to
this, I have yet to hear from Quantum Park on this approval
Until that time, we will require the buffer to be installed as each
site plan is submitted, with an emphasis on oversized material
being located in that buffer area
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to call
me.

RE
QUANTUM PMU{
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

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 concermng 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
Techmcal ReVIew Board Meeting (TRB) on June 8, 1988 for the LakesIde Commons
Project. At this meeting the City Forester, Kevm J Hallahan, made the comment
(Number 3 m 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)"
Kevm's comment was made WIth respect to SectIOn 7.5-34(e) "PerImeter
Landscapmg Relatmg to Abuttmg Properties", Article II. Landscape Code At the
meeting, we agreed to discuss thIS code reqUIrement WIth the Commumty
Appearance Board.
At the Commumty Appearance Board meeting on June 20, 1988, the project was
dIscussed (copy of minutes attached hereto) In the meetmg Kevin stated the
followmg (page 19)
"Now, mstead of haVIng one layer of vegetatIOn, they have three layers. In heu
of the hedge, they have been given the optIOn to take hardwood specIes, WhIch
are baSIcally trees that will grow m a wet area, and to use more of those to
provIde a blockmg m an mformal 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 corning 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 buffenng 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 motlon carned 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 mmutes and quote the
mmutes 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 wmdows will change based upon tenant.

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 meetmgs and listening
to the taped recordings, that the CAB considered the eXIstmg lake area landscapmg
and SIte dIstances to proVIde an adequate landscaped barfler AddItIOnally, as noted
by Mr Annunziato in the CommIssIon meeting minutes, lithe 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 Buildmg
Department (copy attached hereto).
I realize at the time of our meetmg 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 landscapmg
(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 plantmgs are not required for visual
screenmg. "
It should be noted that at the tIme of the TRB meetmg, we were under the
Impression that the Issue was satisfactorily resolved on the LakeSIde Commons
project. Smce 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 plantmgs,
and a body of water averagIng In excess of 250 feet to the opposite shorelIne

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. Smce this is a pomt which I did not have an opportunity to
present at our meeting, I hope this information, along 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, 1989, letter to
Carmen Annunziato regarding the identification of the final
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 "Exhibi t 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 livery 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 19,
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

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.

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, 1 am requesting your interventi9n in an effort to finally
resolve this issue so that we may proceed wHh the project As you may
recall. the subject was di scussed at the TRB Meeting and represents
identical circumstances to the lakeside Commons project which received
CAB and City Commission approval s 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
properties located in closest proximity to each other (200 feet)

3) 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 comon property 1 ines
with more traditional setback requirements between parking lots
It is clear that the code did not anticipate commercial development
on lakes in 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

RE. Quantum Park; Issue of Landscaped Barrier for Lakeside Commons and
Allstate Insurance Projects
Dear Don.
I am writmg 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 Commumty
Appearance Board.
At the Commumty Appearance Board meeting on June 20, 1988, the project was
discussed (copy of minutes attached hereto). In the meetmg KeVIn stated the
followmg (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 buffenng 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 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 m 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
lustory 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 determmation 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 plantmg 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.

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 mformation, along 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, 1989, letter to
Carmen Annunziato regarding the identification of the final
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 tha.t you may make a copy for
your file. There are no notes on this exhibit indicating
which areas staff considered livery 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 19,
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 Exhibi t, 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

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 i ntervent i 9n in an effort to fi na lly
resolve this issue so that we may proceed wtth the project As you may
recall, the subject was di scussed at the TRB Meeting and represents
identical circumstances to the lakeside Commons project which received
CAB 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
I}
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
properties located in closest proximity to each other (200 feet)

3) 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 convnon property 1 ines
with more traditional setback requirements between parking 10ts
It is c1ear that the code did not anticipate convnercial development
on 1akes in 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 Conununity Appearance Board at the ear1 iest
opportunity

earliest convenience
