Staff Report

BACKGROUND
Boynton Meadows, LlC, as part of the Meadows Homeowners Association, Is requesting that the Master
Plan for Meadows P.U.D. be modified to accommodate an additional 34 townhouse units (see Exhlblt"B").
The P.U.D. Is located on the west side of Congress Avenue, south of Hypoluxo Road (see exhibit "A"-
location Map).
The subject Master Plan consists of a variety of residential housing types, such as single-family, cluster,
garden apartments and townhomes, accounting for 1,359 units on 220.11 acres of the total 287.31 acre
site. The original Master elan was approved In 1978, with a total of 1,394 dwelling units. However, as
noted above, only 1,359 were ever constructed, leaving the potential for the construction of the remaining,
vested 35 units. Consequently, the applicant Boynton Meadows, LlC Is proposing to carve out the north
7.966 acres of the 22.87-acre Tract G (Meadows on the Green Condominium), which Is currently vacant,
other than a portion of a lake and walking trail, and construct 34 town homes (see exhibit "B" - Master
Plan). The associated site plan (NWSP 05-032) depicts the development of seven (7) townhome buildings,
arranged around the lake, In clusters of four (4) and six (6) units, while retaining and enhancing the
walking path amenity.
Chapter 2.5, Planned Unit Development, of the City's land Development Regulations states that changes
In planned unit developments shall be processed through the Planning and Development Board and the
Oty Commission.
ANALYSIS
In the process of requesting approval for the 34 additional townhouse units, the applicant and staff
researched prior approvals and modifications to the Master Plan, including the type and number of actual
units constructed In each Tract (subdivision), In an effort to update the Master Plan to the fullest extent.
This request was reviewed for consistency with the P.U.D. development standards In the land
Development Regulations, Chapter 2.5, Planned Unit Developments. The proposed request for the
additional townhomes appears relatively consistent with other development already existing within the
PUD and provides comparable setbacks to adjacent developments.
Based on the fact that the original Master Plan and Development Order were approved for a total of 1,394
dwelling units, and that the applicant Is requesting to stay within that limit, staff finds the requestjustlfied
and recommends approval of the proposed Master Plan Modification necessary to accommodate the new
Tract "P" and Its 34 town homes. The more detailed aspects of the design and characteristics of the site
plan Itself will be discussed further In the corresponding staff report (NWSP 05-032).
RECOMMENDAll0N
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that this request for Master Plan Modification be considered
non-substantial and approved. Any conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly In the Conditions of Approval.

Applicant:
Location:
Chair Wische announced the board had reviewed this item previously, but it was being repeated
due to faults in the original notices to the property owners.
Ed Breese, Principal Planner, briefly reviewed the project. Prior to the start of the meeting, he
had distributed to the board and Recording Secretary a letter from a homeowner in Nautica
Sound in regard to this item.
Mr. Breese related the Meadows PUD Master Plan had originally been approved in 1978 with a
total of 1,394 dwelling units. However, only 1,359 were constructed, leaving 35 additional units
to be constructed. The request before the board would change Tract G, a 22.87-acre tract
currently known as Meadows on the Green Condominium, and cut out 7.966-acres of that to
construct 34 town homes.
Steven Cohen, representing the applicant, Boynton Meadows, LLC, appeared and commented
this was their first view of the letter from the homeowner to which Mr. Breese referred. He
asked for a minute to review the letter.
Chair Wische opened the floor to public comment.
David Core, Attorney with St. John, Core &. Lemme, P.A., 1601 Forum Place,
Centurion Tower, Suite 701, West Palm Beach, FI 33401, spoke on behalf of the Nautica
Sound Homeowners Association, Inc., which was the association managing the property
immediately adjacent to the proposed Meadows project. The Association had authorized him to
appear on behalf of the homeowners who would be affected by the plan modification and new
site plan, if approved. The members of that group wanted the board to be aware of their
objections to this proposed plan modification and site plan for the following reasons:
2
Meeting Minutes
Planning & Development Board

. The Association and affected owners believe the proposed modification is substantial
under the terms of the Code and should not be approved.
. The staff report did not address any potential environmental impacts posed by the
plan. Gopher tortoises, a species protected under law in Florida, had been sighted in
the vicinity where the townhomes would be built.
. The property at issue was initially approved for recreational purposes under the
original master plan.
The proposed project would reduce the size of the lake and turn it into a retention or drainage
pond to be used exclusively for residential purposes. He did not note any new recreational
amenities or facilities under consideration to offset this change.
Mr. Core maintained the proposed project did represent a major modification and warranted
further study and review by the board and the applicant. The Association requested the project
not be approved, or be deferred pending additional studies.
Attorney Tokes commented the developer would have to submit information on the
environmental impact at the time of permitting.
Diane Schrader, 7164 Chesapeake Circle, Boynton Beach, was concerned for the fate of
the tortoises and egrets, should the project be approved. The residents of Nautica Sound would
have a road right behind their houses and while the residents of the new project would
overlook the lake, the Nautica Sound residents would have to look into the backyards of the
new homes. They were concerned about dumpsters, light poles, noise, parking and traffic. The
residents of Nautica Sound were convinced their property values would drop significantly if the
- ---project were to be completed. Ms. Schrader contended there were other places on the property
in question where the homes could be built that would not have such an effect on the
homeowners of Nautica Sound. In response to a question from Mr. Cwynar, Ms. Schrader noted
she was able to tell the difference between regular turtles and tortoises, although an
environmental study would have to determine that.
Chair Wische recognized the presence in the audience of Mayor Taylor, Vice Mayor McKoy, and
Commissioners Ensler and Ferguson.
David Katz, 67 Midwood Lane, Boynton Beach, The Meadows, appreciated the point of
view of the Nautica Sound residents, but noted the site plan and modification was for The
Meadows and not for Nautica Sound. Everyone in the Meadows was in favor of it. The
applicant had met all the requirements and elements set forth by staff. He praised the
developer, saying they had made enhancements to the property and addressed the concerns of
the persons in the apartments.
Steven Cohen responded there was an existing berm between Nautica Sound and this property
and that would be kept as it was, but be reinforced with landscaping that would bring it up to
what it was when initially built. It would act as a buffer between the roadway and Nautica
Sound as well as the units that would face the lake. There would be a minimum of 75 feet from
the units to the property lines of the Nautica Sound residents. Their lighting was designed with
photometrics, so no lighting would flow over onto the property of surrounding residents. They
understood the concern about the tortoises and would take the appropriate steps necessary to

protect the species that were there. The lake size was to remain the same (depth, width,
length), but would be reconfigured. The existing lake would not be used for retention. There
were other lakes in the area that tied in to retention areas.
Mr. Cohen declared they had done a traffic study along Meadows Drive and no additional turn
lanes would be required, based on the trips being generated today. All appropriate engineering
plans had been completed and would be submitted to the City upon approval.
Julie Waresh, 7108 Chesapeake Circle, Boynton Beach, asked why the City had erred in
its notice to the surrounding residents at the previous meeting. If she had not noticed it and
brought it to the City's attention, many Nautica Sound residents would not have had an
opportunity to voice their opinions on the proposed project. When they did notify the Nautica
Sound homeowners, the City did not mention the proposed project would abut Nautica Sound.
They were concerned about lights, noise and dumpsters. They felt the developer was "shoe
horning" town houses behind a long-existing single-family development. If the proposed
project actually did abut Freedom Shores School, why could they not fill in the other side of the
lake, put the town houses against the school and to the north against the retention pond and
not up against the backyards of Nautica Sound?
Attorney Tolces administered an oath to latecomers who planned to testify.
Kris Fearnley, 7092 Chesapeake Circle, Boynton Beach, was concerned about impacts on
lighting, trash, and traffic. His house had been robbed recently and an increase in people
would, he felt, increase the likelihood of crime in the area and put a strain on the Police.
Chair Wische closed the floor to public comment when no one else came forward.
Vice Chair Hay asked if staff had the proper documentation on the tortoise matter, and Mr.
Breese responded they did not and this would be addressed during permitting.
Ms. Jaskiewicz inquired whether this would be the last possible project for The Meadows, and
Mr. Breese responded if this project were approved, they could build one more unit. Ms.
Jaskiewicz also asked if the chosen location was the only feasible place on which the project
could be built and Mr. Breese confirmed that was the case. Ms. Jaskiewicz calculated the
density was slightly more than 4 units per acre, and Mr. Breese concurred. Ms. Jaskiewicz did
not believe it could be classified as high density. Ms. Jaskiewicz inquired whether the berm
could be enhanced to make the Nautica Sound residents more comfortable, and Mr. Cohen
responded they were re-Iandscaping the berm and replacing trees blown down by recent
storms. They were also going to sod it and add new ground covers. Mr. Breese commented that
was actually a condition of approval. Ms. Jaskiewicz noted they had to meet some 50 conditions
of approval.
Mr. Casaine noted when this project was first brought before this board, a series of points was
brought to its attention. One of them was this project was a continuation of the apartment
buildings that already existed and at one time, had been approved by the City. Based on that
information, they had some "room" in the decision-making process. At the time, they did not
know that Nautica Sound would be affected. If they had realized that, the items brought to the
board's attention at this meeting would probably have been examined more closely to
determine if the positions of the Nautica homeowners were correct in regard to the tortoises,

dumpsters, lights, roadway, access and so forth. He felt the apartments as they existed
previously were inadequate and unsightly. That changed when this developer took it over and
made them cleaner, fixed the entrances, built a clubhouse beside them, painted the
apartments, and reduced the number of leased apartments. Mr. Casaine did not believe the
quality of life of people in over 40 homes in Nautica Sound should be jeopardized and he called
for a speedy review of their concerns. He believed that with all that was going on with the
apartments, steps could be taken to assure the quality of life of the Nautica Sound residents
would not be affected, but that had to be more closely examined.
Motion
Mr. Casaine moved the Master Plan Modification be tabled until the items brought to the board's
attention at this meeting had been studied to make certain it was in compliance with what was
anticipated previously. Vice Chair Hay seconded the motion.
Attorney Tolces advised there needed to be a date certain for tabling an item.
Mr. Casaine added that the item would be tabled until the next Planning & Development Board
meeting on August 22, 2006.
Mr. Breese asked for clarification on what Mr. Casaine wanted to be studied, other than the
tortoise situation that would be addressed during permitting. Mr. Casaine responded he was
talking about the parking lot, lights, dumpsters, and roads. Mr. Breese replied they had all been
addressed in the staff report. Mr. Casaine remarked the only thing that was not in the staff
report was that the project was up against the Nautica Sound development. Mr. Breese replied
the staff report did indicate the distance separation between it and Nautica Sound; it talked
about the setbacks that exist in Nautica Sound versus the setbacks being proposed. Mr. Casaine
acknowledged that was the case, but since Nautica Sound had not been notified of the previous
meeting and did not have time to listen to the comments from the board, to satisfy them that
their concerns were reviewed and taken into consideration, the project should undergo further
review.
Chair Wische declared this board went by proper zoning and codes and ordinances. Staff had
mentioned the proposed project complied with all of them. It was the kind of building that was
happening all over, as long as projects met the Codes, ordinances and regulations.
Mr. Saberson confirmed with Mr. Casaine that his motion was to table the project so a closer
look could be taken at the points brought to the board's attention by the residents at this
meeting. Chair Wische responded staff indicated they had discussed those points in the staff
report.
Following an inconclusive vote, Chair Wische asked for a roll call vote.
Vote
The motion to table failed 2-4, Chair Wische, Mr. Cwynar, Ms. Jaskiewicz, and Mr. Saberson

Request for New Site Plan approval for 34
townhomes and related site improvements
on a 7.966-acre tract within the Meadows
Planning Unit Development (PUD).
Ed Breese presented the request. Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's
review and the information was deemed to be adequate at this time with further review at the
time of permitting. The egress to the site is through the condominium project running north to
a cui de sac returning the same way. The PUD regulations require the buffers and setbacks to
mirror those of surrounding properties. The Nautica Sound development to the west was
approved with rear setbacks of 15 feet abutting the proposed Meadows Townhome parcel. The
closest any of the townhouse units are to Nautica's east property line would be 20 feet 5 inches
at the northwest corner of the townhouse property. Most typical buildings were 40-60 feet away
from the Nautica Sound property. At the south end of the property, the townhomes are
proposed to be in excess of 110 feet from the first condominium building in the Meadows on
the Green complex. The seven town home buildings are arranged around the lake in clusters of
four and six units ranging from 1,638 and 1,665 square feet under air. Staff recommended
approval of the plan since it was in compliance with PUD regulations.
Chair Wische asked Mr. Cohen whether the applicant agreed with all conditions of approval, and
the response from Mr. Cohen was in the affirmative. Mr. Cohen thought the project would
enhance the neighborhood and secure the safety of the residents. They were all two stories,
but when standing on the second floor, the neighbors behind would not be affected, because
there was 11 feet from floor to floor and an average height would be six feet tall. There were
only two units that looked over the Nautica Sound property; the rest faced the opposite
direction, east towards the lake.
Ms. Jaskiewicz noted some of the comments heard from the residents at this meeting were
included in the conditions of approval, so they could feel some comfort that a shovel could not
be put in the ground until those conditions were met.
Chair Wische opened the floor for public comment.

BACKGROUND
Boynton Meadows, LLC, as part of the Meadows Homeowners Association, is requesting that the Master
Plan for Meadows P.U.D. be modified to accommodate an additional 34 townhouse units (see Exhibit "B'').
The P.U.D. is located on the west side of Congress Avenue, south of Hypoluxo Road (see Exhibit "A"-
Location Map).
The subject Master Plan consists of a variety of residential housing types, such as single-family, cluster,
garden apartments and townhomes, accounting for 1,359 units on 220.11 acres of the total 287.31 acre
site. The original Master ~ was approved in 1978, with a total of 1,394 dwelling units. However, as
noted above, only 1,359 were ever constructed, leaving the potential for the construction of the remaining,
vested 35 units. Consequently, the applicant Boynton Meadows, LLC is proposing to carve out the north
7.966 acres of the 22.87-acre Tract G (Meadows on the Green Condominium), which is currently vacant,
other than a portion of a lake and walking trail, and construct 34 townhomes (see Exhibit "B" - Master
Plan). The associated site plan (NWSP 05-032) depicts the development of seven (7) townhome buildings,
arranged around the lake, in clusters of four (4) and six (6) units, while retaining and enhancing the
walking path amenity.
Chapter 2.5, Planned Unit Development, of the City's Land Development Regulations states that changes
in planned unit developments shall be processed through the Planning and Development Board and the
City Commission.
ANALYSIS
In the process of requesting approval for the 34 additional townhouse units, the applicant and staff
researched prior approvals and modifications to the Master Plan, including the type and number of actual
units constructed in each Tract (subdivision), in an effort to update the Master Plan to the fullest extent.
This request was reviewed for consistency with the P.U.D. development standards in the Land
Development Regulations, Chapter 2.5, Planned Unit Developments. The proposed request for the
additional townhomes appears relatively consistent with other development already existing within the
PUD and provides comparable setbacks to adjacent developments.
Based on the fact that the original Master Plan and Development Order were approved for a total of 1,394
dwelling units, and that the applicant is requesting to stay within that limit, staff finds the request justified
and recommends approval of the proposed Master Plan Modification necessary to accommodate the new
Tract "P" and its 34 town homes. The more detailed aspects of the design and characteristics of the site
plan itself will be discussed further in the corresponding staff report (NWSP 05-032).
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that this request for Master Plan Modification be considered
non-substantial and approved. Any conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.
