St. Gregory's Armenian Church - update and postponement request
As expected, Mr. Meaux, agent for the project, has sent a letter requesting postponement of this item before the
Commission, from January 4th to January 18th. This letter was received on 12/23. This letter also summarizes the results
from the meeting between Leisureville reps and applicant, and is being forwarded to both of you and the City Clerk.
The only new information at this time since giving you my first summary/update following this meeting, is that staff is not
open to the replacement of the dumpster with trash cans. The agent has been informed of this and will investigate
relocation possibilities.
I will hold off as long as possible in preparing a written exhibit to the staff report to allow time for the issues to be
addressed or clarified including the dumpster location and the position taken by Leisureville on the Phase 3 rec building.

Agenda Review for January 4, 2004
Just a few items that will need attention as follows:
Consent Agenda
C7: Task Order for Wilson Center - This item needs to be removed from the agenda for two
weeks. There was no indication that staff discussed this project with other firms. Given
the estimated cost of the project, I have concerns about the prices quoted for the work
seems high. Did Engineering look at this proposal? (Wilfred and Wally)
C13: Resolution on Grant Policies - OK to proceed. However, because Corom. McKoy
requested this item, an advance copy of the item should be provided to him. Please call
him to advise of availability of the agenda item in his mail. (Janet P.)
D1: St. Gregory Armenian Church - The agenda packet is incomplete. Where is the
Development staff report on the meeting between representatives of the church,
Liesureville and City staff? (Quintus G.)

Re: St. Gregory Armenian Church
DE:af Mr. RUli'lfJh.
We would like to postpone our scheduled meeting with the City Council until the second
meeting in January because of our interest in satisfying the concerns of the Leisureville
residents. Following are the results of our meeting of December 16, 2004:
1. We have agreed to relocate the irrigation pump to the center of the property
as indicated on our drawings.
2. We have agreed to move the lift station to the center of the property.
3. We have agreed to place a 6' high wall as separation from the residential
areas as well as on the South property line.
4. We discussed the site lighting and feel that the current plan meets code and
should not be an issue. We will, however, provide a photometrics plan
showing light levels on the adjoining Leisureville lots.
5. We understand from the City of Boynton that we need a dumpster and will
investigate relocation possibilities.
6. Additionally, we are interested in building the gymnasium in the future and do
not want to surrender any rights for its development. One of Leisureville's
concerns about the gym has to do with not knowing what it will look like.
Therefore, we will provide design drawings in hopes of alleviating their fears
and concerns.
We want be good neighbors and are attempting to adjust our development to satisfy
Leisureville's concerns. Therefore we need additional time to address these issues.
With kindest regards,

Re: St. Gregory Church site plan approval
Dear Mr. Breese:
I am in receipt of your notification of our site plan approval and request a year extension
to the approval time to September 2,2005.
I would like to inform you of the current stage of development. We have been diligent in
our development efforts and have submitted the work plans for permit with the City for
approval. The Engineering Department has approved the plans and has forwarded them
to the Health Department for their review and approval. Presently, we are responding to
their initial comments. We expect to obtain a building permit for site work which involves
site clearing, site grading and drainage and retention, site sewage (which included site
sanitary lines, a lift station and a 200' sanitary line to City connection), water, fire
protection, drives, parking, a site perimeter wall and perimeter landscaping.
This Permit Application represents a significant expenditure toward the development of
the project. Additionally, we have prepared permit drawings for the first phase of
construction per our site plan approval. These drawings were not submitted for permit
because of an Owner decision to build not only the first phase but also the church. This
decision has been made because of a benefactor who has provided money for church
construction. At the request of the benefactor who would like to name the church after
Father John, we would like to change the project name to St. John's Armenian Apostolic
Church.
Presently we are in the final stages of new permit documents for the construction of the
project with the church included. We are scheduling to submit permit drawings for this
construction within a few months. Considering two months permitting process we
project to have a building permit by January 2005.
Again, we respectfully request an extension in light of our continuing and diligent efforts
to develop the project.
With kindest regards,
~luL--
