The subject property is generally located south of S. E. 23rd Avenue, between South
Seacrest Boulevard and South Federal Highway, near the southeast city limits. The
parcel is approximately 150 feet in width by 700 feet in length and lies west of and
parallel to the Florida East Coast Railway. The subject property is a parcel of 2.34
acres located at 2882 Southeast Second Street near the Sea crest Estates, Orchard
Estates, and Josephine S. Latino subdivisions. The site was a former mango grove
obtained by the City in 2001, and is zoned Single and Two-Family Residential (R-2).
BACKGROUND
Mr. Wally Majors, Director ofthe City Recreation and Parks Department, and Agent
for the City, is requesting new site plan approval for the proposed Southeast
Neighborhood Park. A city-owned and operated recreational park is a permitted
use in the current R-2 zoning district. The passive park will be used primarily by
the neighborhood residents and have the following amenities: two (2) basketballs
courts, an open play field, traditional playgrounds, picnic shelters including a
handicap accessible picnic area, a picnic pavilion, paved walking paths, and
parking.
ANALYSIS
Typically, a traffic statement which indicates a daily vehicle trip generation for the
proposed project is sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency
review to ensure an adequate level of service. Based on their review of the
proposed passive neighborhood park, the Traffic Division determined that the
proposed project meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County.
Potable water and sanitary sewer / wastewater capacity is currently available to
serve this project. An existing lift station is located near the proposed park
entrance. Drinking fountains which will be handicap accessible will be located near
the basketball courts and picnic shelter.
These departments have reviewed the site plan and determined that emergency
services are available to the proposed project with an appropriate response time.
Emergency service providers expect to be able to utilize their current or anticipated
resources to maintain an adequate level of service for the proposed project.
Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of speCific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Southeast Neighborhood Park will have a two-way access drive from SE 2nd Street

Memorandum No PZ 05-205

to the parking lot. Access will be gated at night in observance of park hours, which
have not yet been established. There are no additional points of ingress/egress
proposed for this request. The proposed pedestrian path will be paved asphalt
eight (8) feet in width and extend the length of the park. Path construction will
allow fire rescue vehicles to access activity areas in an emergency. A concrete
sidewalk five (5) feet in width and 691 feet in length is proposed along S.E. 2nd
Street adjacent to the park. The sidewalk will connect with sidewalks required on
adjacent properties, and will connect with the proposed pedestrian path in the park.
The park will be enclosed by a five (5) foot black chain link fence with gates.
The proposed park is not intended to be a destination park, but rather a park for
the use of the immediate neighborhood, therefore most park users will be
pedestrians who live nearby. There are a total of six (6) parking spaces proposed,
including a space designated for handicapped use. The proposed park will have
sufficient paved parking on site to accommodate all of the proposed uses. All
parking spaces will comply with applicable regulations.
The subject property consists of a former mango grove. Due to the age and untidy
nature of the existing mango trees, only two (2) trees will be retained for
landscaping. Staff has reviewed the Landscape Plan and determined that it is in
compliance with the Landscape Code requirements. A total of 67% of the site will
consist of pervious landscaped areas. The north and south ends of the park will
have a landscape buffer to reduce any impacts on adjacent residential subdivisions.
At least fifty percent (50%) of site landscape materials must be native species.
The landscape plan indicates a total of 97% of the trees and 100% of the shrubs
are native species. Typical native species to be used include sabal palmetto, live
oak, paradise tree, wax myrtle, wild coffee, fishtail fern, and coontie.
Building Design: The depicted restroom facility will not be placed as part of the initial phase, but will
be evaluated in the future for placement, per a variance approved in May, 2005 by
the City's Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Floor plans and details for
the 575 square foot picnic shelter will be provided at the time of permitting, and
shall comply with all applicable regulations.
Setbacks:
Lighting:
Proposed park structures are required to comply with the minimum building
setbacks which are 25 feet for front and rear, and 10 feet on each side. The most
intensive uses within the park are centrally located away from abutting residential,
and all proposed structures comply with the setback requirements.
Freestanding outdoor lighting poles are proposed at the park entrance, on each end
of the parking lot, and around the basketball courts. Lighting shall be shielded
away from adjacent residential properties and comply with all City requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for approval of a new site plan and recommends approval, contingent upon
all comments indicated in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends that any deficiencies
identified in this exhibit be corrected on the set of plans submitted for building permit. Also, any
additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in
the Conditions of Approval.

Description:
Request for New Site Plan approval for a
neighborhood park to include basketball courts,
open play field, playground, picnic area,
walking paths and a parking lot on 2.3 acres.
Jody Rivers, 3895 August Drive, Lake Worth, Florida, the City's Park Superintendent,
assumed the podium. Chairman Wische pointed out there were 13 staff comments and
Ms. Rivers responded the City agreed with all staff comments.
Ms. Jaskiewicz did not think staffs report fit the description of a "passive" park. Ms.
Rivers explained that a "passive" park could have some activities, but for the most part
is more passive than not.
Kathleen Zeitler, Planner for the City, said that staff recommended approval of the
project, subject to all staff conditions.
Chairman Wische opened the public hearing.
Ron Brito, 198 SE 27th Avenue, Boynton Beach, requested to view the plan for the
park. The plan was displayed and Ms. Zeitler explained the park would have an open
play field, two different size basketball courts, five parking spaces and an additional
handicap space. There is also a handicap accessible picnic area and provision for a
future restroom. There will be a picnic shelter with several tables and a playground for
different age groups. An 8-foot asphalt path will be introduced throughout the park with
benches and landscaping throughout. There will be a sidewalk along the right of way
that would be fenced and gated.
Mr. Brito inquired if there would be any buffering of the noise from the trains near the
park. He lived across the street from the park and the trains make a tremendous
amount of noise. Ms. Rivers responded that it is not customary to place walls around
parks because of safety reasons for the children. If walls were present, people tend to
hide behind the walls and all types of activities could occur that would not be conducive
to a park environment. Ms. Jaskiewicz noted there was a great deal of foliage in the
park that should help with the noise. Ms. Rivers acknowledged there would be noise
because the park is next to a train track.

Motion
Ms. Johnson moved to approve the request for New Site Plan approval for a

walking paths and a parking lot on 2.3 acres, subject to all staff conditions. Motion
seconded by Ms. Grcevic and unanimously carried.

Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR)
Staff-initiated
Description:
Presentation of final EAR prepared pursuant to
Section 163.3191 F.S. and to be ultimately
applied by the City Commission and
transmitted to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs (DCA).
Chairman Wische complimented staff on providing an excellent report. Dick Hudson,
Senior Planner presented the item. In the description of the item, Mr. Hudson noted
that the word "applied" should actually be "approved" by the City Commission.
Mr. Hudson referred to the matrix displayed to show the stage the City was in for its
review of the Comprehensive Plan. The State set a scheduled due date of November 1,
2005. Because of the hurricanes and staff's heavy workload, the report was not
completed by that date. Unless the report was done as required, DCA would not accept
any more Comprehensive Plan Amendments from the City. In light of this, the City could
still send amendments that were insufficient. Taking this route would allow staff an
additional year to correct any incorrect amendments. Staff must proceed this way in
order to save the Comp Plan Amendment cycles.
Staff has followed the State's directions on how to prepare the EAR, but had problems
finding issues to report. There is one issue involving the wastewater treatment plant
because the City and the City of Delray Beach are using approximately three-quarters
of the total capacity of that plant. After the hurricanes last year and the heavy rains in
September, infiltration problems into the sewer lines resulted. Staff will be working on
this and this is what staff based the report upon.
Mr. Hudson requested the Board make a recommendation the City Commission adopt it.
Motion
Mr. Casaine moved that the presentation of the final EAR prepared pursuant to Section
163.3191 F.S. and to be ultimately approved by the City Commission and transmitted to
