Mr. Ted James Powell with Symcor, addressed the Commission. ~e remarked that he too had heard horror stories about the review process in Boynton Beach. As a result of that fear they had arranged for numerous meetings with staff and they turned out to be good solid work sessions. He felt that the plan had been developed through their joint efforts and cooperation. Relative to traffic and their million dollar roadway system, Mr. Powell clarified that this was not brought about by the City. The Traffic Engineer that they hired stated that this should be done and they agreed to do it.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MAY 16, 1989 and 22nd Ave. There were two previous site plan approvals for this property under the names of Savannah Square and Sybar Square. Those expired without the developer pulling permits in either instance. The request currently before the commission received the unanimous recommendation of the Planning and zoning Board and a recommendation for approval from staff. The reason it is under Development Plans and not under Consent Agenda is because of the shared parking approval which is a special request. The shared parking is a mechanism to reduce the number of required parking spaces that would be required by the zoning Ordinance, because uses occur at different times. The applicant was agreeable with all staff comments. qommissioner Wische moved to approve the application. Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. VIII. LEGAL ~.

Mayor Cassandra said the ugliest signs are at the Winn-Dixie shopping center on U. S. 1. As an Architect who has done a lot of shopping centers, Mr. Lawrence wanted to give the merchant&some chance at individuality. The building is very ~isciplined, and they will have little chance at individual- ity except for their signs. There was more discussion by Mayor Cassandra and Mr. Lawrence. Mayor Cassandra said the size of the signs are not to exceed 36 inches. M,r. Lawrence called attention to the criteria. Mayor Cassandra said whatever the Commission decided would be the Code for this development. Commissioner Hester moved to approve the signage subject to all ,staff comments. Commissioner Zibelli asked what they were approving. Mayor Cassandra indicated the sign they w~re approving and said it was with a variation of three colors for the stores. Mr. Lawrence had a sample of the yellow that ~ould be in the awnings, which Mayor Cassandra said, the Commission was also approving. Commissioner Zibelli seconded the motion. The motion carried 4-1. Mayor Cassandra voted against the motion. 2. Consider request submitted by CarIbs Diaz, Matthews and Associates, Agent for Sybar-Square Joint Venture, for a variance to Section 5-l4l(g)(6) "Major Driveways" of the Parking Lot Regulations. This project is located at North Congress Avenue and NW 22nd Avenue, northeast corner (Sybar Square) Built into the modification of the parking lot regulations, Mr. Annunziato said there was the requirement that if the P&Z Board did not unanimously approve a parking lot variance request, the Co~tssion would sit in final judgment of the application. This was what happened in connection with this application. The request was to allow an encroachment into a major drive- way by an intervening driveway within 100 feet of the length of the driveway. Mr. Annunziato indicated Quantum Boulevard (the northerly exit from Quantum onto Congress Avenue on the west). 22nd Avenue is to the south. To the north, across the canal, is Dos Lagos. The applicant was requesting to break the 100 foot throat required at a driveway with an intervening driveway to allow right in and right out turning movements.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA OCTOBER 20, 1987 was that he be allowed to do this. It would free up move- ments in the parking lot in connection with a major theater to be built at that location. Mr. Annunziato continued by saying the TRB conditioned its recommendation to the P&Z Board with the requirement that the applicant construct a concrete barrier in the driveway, therefore eliminating southbound lefts into the parking lot or westbound lefts out of the parking lot. In other words, if you ,left the parking lot, you could only go right. A condition like this is at the Meadows Square Shopping Center's exit on Hypoluxo Road. Mr. Annunziato explained. The request went to the P&Z Board with a recommendation from the TRB to approve in part and deny in part. The denial was related to a similar request north of Quantum Boulevard. In the interim, the applicant amended his site plan and eliminated that tie. Therefore, they were only talking about this request. The P&Z Board approved the request on a 5-2 vote. Mayor Cassandra asked if the barrier was in the middle of the driveway. Mr. Annunziato answered affirmatively and showed that it splits ingress and egress property, so traffic entering cannot turn left into the parking lot. Mr. Annunziato explained. Sam Matthews, Matthews & Associates, Architects, 2600 Douglas Road, Suite #795, Coral Gables, Florida 33134, noticed the term "barrier" was being discussed, and he said they were not talking about a barrier but were talking about a concrete median. Mayor Cassandra asked how they would stop people from making a lefthand turn. Mr. Matthews confirmed City Manager Cheney's statement that there would be arrows saying, "One Way", but he agreed with Mayor Cassandra that you cannot stop people from making a lefthand turn. He added that you also cannot stop them from speeding. After discussion, Mayor Cassandra said if it was slanted parking, he could see it because the cars would be facing a particular way. He suggested they look to see if the strip could be slanted parking so the cars backing out must go out that way. Mr. Matthews said their real concern was more than this par- ticular traffic. He designated a point on the overlay and said it was having individuals come into that area and not being able to get back into the center. After explaining, Mr. Matthews said they felt that would be more of a hazard. -45- .~--;;, ........ C.."J1lIT;'~, ('''' , '"r',\ ,r'" ...

This !project is to be located at North Congress Avenue and NW 22nd Avenue, northeast corner (Sybar Square) Mr. Annunziato said the P&Z Board recommended approval of the request, subject to staff comments. Included in the R&Z Board's recommendation was a recommendation to approve a ~hared parking analysis, which shares parking between the ~inema and other uses. Secondly, the P&Z Board noted that the elevations submitted by the applicant were included in its approval, and the Board recommended to the City Commission that the applicant plant trees 20 feet on center, ~O feet in height along the north property line to buffer ~he residences at Dos Lagos. There was discussion about movie houses, which was brought up by Mayor Cassandra. Mr. Annunziato said this was qiscussed at some length at the P&Z meeting. There was concern as to how much of one thing you can have. Mr. Annunziato did not think there was very much anyone could do a;bout it. There were further comments.

Mayor Cassandra asked if there was spme way to put something between the trees and the low barrier. Mr. Matthews informed him that a wall is being constructed on the north end of the site, ~nd there will. also be a hedge on the north s ide of the wal,l. In answer to quel;"ies- by Mayor Cassandra, Mr. Matthews believed the trees were 40 feet on center and 12 feet high on Congress Avenue. Mayor Cassandra voiced objections. Mr. Matthews apprised the Commission that the Review Boards requested more landscaping, and they complied with the requests made by those Boards. He informed,Mayor Cassandra that the Review Boards asked them to increase the number of trees in the parking lot above the Code. Mayor Cassandra alluded to a large asphalt jungle of cars on Congress Avenue and said the buildings are in the back. pince Mr. Matthews' firm was the Architects for the project, pe called the developer forward. Mr. Matthews advised that ~here is a 3 foot hedge along the perimeter of the property ~nd added that the property is entirely surrounded by a hedge. Mr. Carnival, o~er of the property, said if Mayor Cassan(ira would look at it, he would see there is a lot of ~reen area between the trees and the hedges. After ~iscussion, the only objection Mr. Carnival had as a shopping ~eveloper was that so frequently, they put up the trees ~yor c::::assandra was referring to in great numbers, and the ~rees completely block off the commercial. The purpose of the commercial is to be seen, but he said he would go along with Mayor Cassandra, and that was a fact. ~yor Cassandra conceded that the City's Code is the ~iniumum, and he commented that was what the applicant was giving the City. He was just asking that they give a little 9i t more landscaping. Mayor Cas's;andra asked that the trees pe 20 feet on center on Congress Avenue instead of 40 feet. ~. Carnival had no problem with that. Mayor Cassandra fsked that the record show the applicant was willing to landscape 20 feet on center on Congress Avenue. ~r. Matthews referred to Mayor Cassandra's statement that ~here "is a sea of parking", but he thought when the center was finished, the Commission would see that there are quite ~ number of trees on the site. As they look across, they will see a number of trees.

The parcel located on the north side of Quantum Boulevard consists of 58,100 square feet of floor space, including 45,100 squa:refeet or retail floor space and 13,000 square ~eet of office fIbor space.

The Shared Park,ing Study prepared'by 'i:,!urray-Dudek and .u..ssociates for Rossi and Malavasi Engineers has neencocurnented to provide fqr two' independE:nt: shared parking allocations .for the parcels lqcated on the north a'ndsouth sides of Quantum Boulevard. The study assumes that due to the existence of Quantum Boulevard, 'i;inich forms a physical barrier bet\veen the north and south parcels, no Sharing will occur between these two parcels. Rather, all sharing is to occur within each individual parcel. The documentation prepared by Murray-Dudek for the parcel located cn the north side of Quantll.\11 Boulevard indicates that the peak parking accumulation for this site would occur on weekdays at approximately 2:00 P.!v:I. and would 'require approximately 246 of the 264 parking spaces provided (291 spaces would be required-by code). This projection of peak hour parking demand is based on Urban Land Institute data which has been adjusted in part to . incorporate site-specific conditions. Of the 65 parking spaces that would be required by code for the office building, 38 have been provided on-site~ with the remaining 27 parking spaces being shared from ~he unoccupied parking available from the retail development. The remaining 16 surplus parking spaces not required by the retail development at the 2:00 weekday peak are allocated toward the calculation of the required 10% buffer as follows: 16 38 + 27 24.6%. x 100% Therefore, given the WOrst case scenario of total parking accumulation (weekdays at 2:00P.i"1.), the shared parking allocationfo~ the northern parcel would still allow for a statistical surplus of twenty four (16) parking spaces. The documentation prepared by Murray-Dudek for the parcel located on the south side of Quantum Eoulevard indicates that the peak parking accumulation for the retail development, the office building, and the cinema combined would occur on'weekq.ays at approximately 8:00 P.M. and would, require approximately 648 of the 798 parking spaces provided, (970 spaces would be required by code). This projection of peak ~our parking demand is based on Urban Land Institute data which has been adjusted in part to incorporate site-specific conditions.
