an empty lot north of ABC Wine and Spirits store and about half the lot would be taken for the

was also present.
Mr. Ed Breese, Principal Planner for the City of Boynton Beach, reported the restaurant
would be located behind the Boynton Commons Center and was a drive-in restaurant where the

recommended approval. Mr. Breese also complimented the applicants. He indicated the site was

Request for Master Plan Modification approval
For the addition of 34 townhomes to the Meadows
Planned Unit Development (PUD)
Chair Wische announced there were no staff comments and staff recommended approval.
Mr. Steve Cohen of Steven L. Cohen & Associates, Inc., Architect representing the
developer was present and explained the project is part of Meadows on the Green, which was a
conversion from rental to condominiums. He explained there was a parcel of land left on the
property that was undeveloped and under the PUD, there were additional units that could be
constructed. He explained while undertaking the conversion, a portion of the land was carved
out of Parcel G, creating Parcel P. The request was platted as a separate entity off the property.
Mr. Cohen explained his client is seeking to place 34 townhomes on the property. They had
reconfigured the lake, keeping the same volume of water in the lake, and placed town homes
around the perimeter. The existing buffer on the west side of the property will remain as it was,
and heavy landscaping along the perimeter of the property was added. He announced everyone
would have a lake view. They have a cross-access agreement with the condominium association
to use the same facilities and the new residents will pay dues into the association for the use of
their pool area and tennis courts.
Mr. Ed Breese, Principal Planner explained the applicant carved out a portion of Tract G on the
condominium parcel and created Parcel P for the 34 additional townhomes. When the PUD was
originally approved, the developer did not construct the maximum number of units allowed. This
proposal was to construct 34 additional units. Mr. Breese explained this request was for the
master plan. The site plan would be heard next. Mr. Breese recommended approval.
Chair Wische recognized Mayor Jerry Taylor and Mrs. Taylor observing the proceedings.
Ms. Betty Tator, 17085 Bay Street, Jupiter was present. Ms. Tator was a homeowner and
Vice President of the recently formed Meadow on the Green Condominium Association who were
requesting the builder correct the violations before constructing the new units. She explained
there were code violations and apparent breach of contract obligations that presently exist.
The issues Ms. Tator reported were a wiring and lamp violation imposed by the Fire Department.
She indicated the builder committed to replacing roofs on buildings 1-18, however, only buildings
14-18 have been completed. The remaining buildings had visible gaps in the eaves and there
had been complaints about leaks within the last 30 days. Ms. Tator advised the patio frames
were missing in many units and many more needed screen replacements, which were to be fixed
by the builder. Electrical meter utility sheds were missing doors; security gates were not installed
or functioning and were installed without motors. Ms. Tator further reported condominium funds
were expensed to clean and prepare the lake area, but the remaining area behind units 1 through
12 was not cleaned and were appalling. Ms. Tator reported the patio at the model home used for
sales to potential buyers had a patio made of paver blocks. She reported after closings, the
pavers were removed and she advised said blocks were supposed to be put on all first floor units
and were not.

Ms. Tator advised the trash container area required repairs on gates, some were missing covers
and shrubs and the gate did not meet Code. The unit identifying numbers required by the
Boynton regulations are to be four inches in height and the square cement box used to attach the
numbers did not accommodate the 4-inch numbers. Several subcontracted projects were
completed and not paid.
Ms. Tator requested the board seriously consider the violations and require the builder complete
his contractual and moral obligations to the Meadow on the Greens Condominiums. The police,
she commented, call the complex "Ghetto on the Green". She advised they were a new board
and were committed to improving the appearance of the complex and making it an asset to the
community .
Mr. Casaine requested Ms. Tator provide a copy of her list of items to the secretary. He
explained the proposed project was an extension of a project previously approved. Mr. Breese
confirmed for Mr. Casaine that the proposal did adhere to what was initially proposed. Mr.
Casaine further expressed he thought the issues were serious items and thought Mr. Cohen
should have an opportunity to respond.
Mr. Cohen responded he was the architect for the project. He explained he was aware building
permits were submitted to the City and some of the items still had to be reworked. He
elaborated there were still problems with roofers, where part of a job was completed, the roofers
would leave for another job and then come back to finish. He was aware his client was working
diligently to complete the items. He offered to bring these matters to his clients attention the
next day, but clarified the project is on a separate plat of land. He elaborated they have a cross-
access agreement with the Meadows and were building fee-simple townhomes. Individuals would
own their own property. He clarified the request was not really an extension of the existing
project, rather it was a totally new concept which were townhomes in lieu of condominium two-
story walkups or with elevators. He emphasized he would definitely bring the matter to the
attention of the developer and further offered to take Ms. Tator's telephone number so the
project manager could contact her to resolve the issue within the next few weeks.
Ms. Casaine recommended Mr. Cohen also receive a copy of the list used by Ms. Tator. He
acknowledged the association representative was very concerned with what had already been
built, and understood there was a complete rehaul of the area, but thought the issues were of
concern so the entire area would have the aesthetics and security that was required. He
recommended an expression be given that the items would be corrected. Mr. Cohen reiterated
he would bring the issues to the attention of the developer first thing in the morning and have a
letter back to the Commission and Messrs. Rumpf and Breese by Thursday to determine when the
work would be completed. They would follow up with the board as well.
Mr. David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane was present. He expressed he did not think the area was
known as "Ghetto on the Green". He explained he lives in the Meadows in Windemere. He
commented the developer provided many enhancements to a property that was in disrepair'and
the developer had greatly upgraded the property. He noted in reference to the townhome
project, this was a separate project and when Mr. Cohen attended a HOA meeting, he became
involved because he lives in the community and wanted to ensure the project would be first-class
and would enhance his property values. He commented he attended numerous meetings with

staff. He announced he knew the developer and that the developer handles properties worth
hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr. Katz expressed he thought the operation was top notch. He
also advised the developer had donated $50,000 for the Little League security system. The
homes would sell in excess of $300,000 and would enhance the tax base. He thought the board
should approve the request.
There were no other public comments and Chair Wische closed the floor for public hearing.
Ms. Jaskiewicz noted the site plan related to this request that would be heard next had many
conditions attached to it. She indicated her thoughts that some of the concerns could be
addressed then. Mr. Casaine agreed with Ms. Jaskiewiczs' comments. He agreed with Mr. Katz
that the project was totally separate but indicated the issues needed to be addressed.
Motion
Mr. Casaine moved the request for Master Plan Modification approval for the addition of 34
townhomes to the Meadows Planned Unit Development (PUD) be approved. Mr. Baldwin
seconded the motion that unanimously passed.

Chair Wische announced the request was for a new site plan approval for 34 townhomes and
related site improvements on a 7.966-acre tract within the Meadows Planned Unit Development.
He advised there were 50 comments attached to the request and asked if the applicant agreed,
disagreed or needed clarification.
Mr. Steve Cohen of Steven L. Cohen & Associates, Inc., explained they had agreed to the
staff comments and most of them had to do with landscaping, buffer zones, the location of
dumpsters, which had been corrected since that time, and a few other items. He repeated they
were in agreement with the comments and will have them reflected on the plans prior to
permitting.
Mr. Breese displayed the site plan and showed the entrance to the condominiums. The units
were two story buildings with four to six units per building. Mr. Breese indicated staff
recommended approval of the project. He announced it was self contained and gated. The new
townhome residents would share the pool and tennis courts with the adjacent condominium
development. The buffers were 18 feet and were in place along Nautica Sound. There would
also be Areca Palms and they would infill any area lacking Areca Palms. The closest townhome
