Gentlemen:
Enclosed is the Development Order granted by the City Commission on September 20,2005. The site plan approval is valid
for one year from the date of final approval. In order to maintain vested status, a building permit must be secured or an
extension granted within one year of final site plan approval.
To continue this project through the development process, please revise relevant pages of your approved site plan to
incorporate all conditions of approval as applicable. A copy of the Development Order, including these conditions, must
accompany the submission of the fully amended site plan set. The person managing your permit applications should be made
aware of any additional documents and third party letters listed in the conditions of approval that need to be submitted with
your permit package.
The Building Division is committed to speedy and efficient completion of the building permit process for your project.
However, please note that failure to meet all applicable Development Order conditions in the submitted plan set may produce
unnecessary delays in permit issuance. A thorough review will be conducted by the Plan Review Analyst and if the necessary
documentation is not attached and/or the plans are not amended to reflect all of the approval conditions, the plans will be
returned to the applicant for correction and re-submittal before the permit is further processed. Feel free to contact any TRC
member for additional clarification of comments.
Important: If you plan to introduce any changes to your approved site plan beyond those required by conditions of approval,
please contact our staff for a review before submitting a permit package to the Building Division.
A copy of the complete Development Order and Amended Site Plans reflecting the "Conditions of Approval" must be
submitted to the Building Department along with the first permit request to avoid any delays in the processing of your
permit.
Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact this office at (561) 742-6260.

Request to rezone from Single-family Residential
(RS) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) for the
development of 82 town homes, recreation areas
and related site improvements on 8.6-acres.
Dick Hudson, Senior Planner, reported that staff recommended approval of this item based on
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, existence of capacity to meet the service needs
generated by the proposed project, and because it would make an economic contribution to
the neighborhood and the City; however, this recommendation was contingent on further
modifications to the Master Plan or site plan to improve the transition to or boundary between
the project and the adjacent single family neighborhood and also to present a better view
toward the street.
Michael Weiner, appearing for the applicant, stated that since it was going to be discussed
in connection with the site plan, he wanted to reserve his comments, saying only that there
was substantial agreement between the applicant and staff and that the applicant would deal
with the few things still under discussion.
Chair Wische opened the floor to the public, and closed it when no one came fOlWard.
Mr. Saberson was not in favor of this application because of the density. He had spoken at
other times about his interest in protecting single-family subdivisions and the proposed density
was going from 5 units an acre to almost 10 units an acre. The applicant was maximizing the
density to the greatest extent possible. He referred to existing policies in the Comprehensive
Plan that called for having lower densities next to single-family residential and higher densities
next to the road. An approval of this project would be in direct conflict with that. Another
policy was quoted that says, "The City shall continue to maintain and improve the character of
existing single-family and lower density neighborhoods by preventing conversions to higher
densities, except when consistent with adjacent land uses." This high-density project would
be inconsistent with adjacent land uses and he could not support the request. He would
consider approving it if the applicant came in with a plan that was more protective of the
single-family adjacent neighborhood.
Motion
Mr. Cwynar moved to approve the request to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map from Medium Density Residential (MR-5) to Medium Density Residential (MeDR). Mr.
Baldwin seconded the motion that passed 5-2, Ms. Jasciewicz and Mr. Saberson dissenting.

Northwest corner of the intersection of Gulfstream
Boulevard and Old Dixie Highway
Request for new site plan approval to construct
82 fee-simple townhouses on an 8.6-acre parcel
in the (Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning
district.
Chair Wische declared this project had 48 staff conditions and asked the applicant's position
on them.
Michael Weiner, appearing for the applicant, stated there were 47 conditions on which they
agreed. They did not, however, agree with Condition #36 on the topic of separating the
twelve units to relieve the "wall-like" effect against the adjacent single-family development
and/or separate them with a wider buffer and increased landscaping. Mr. Weiner stated that
increasing the landscape materials would not be a problem. They were not opposed to the
spirit of Condition #36 and believed they could separate the buildings into 2 six-building pods,
However, he asked for the record to reflect that final resolution on this would take place when
they next met with staff.
Ms. Jasciewicz asked the applicant to consider replacing the proposed chain link fence
between the project and the single-family residence(s) with a wall. One and a half of the back
yards of the proposed project would be facing one residential back yard.
Mr. Weiner responded that the trees would be 20 feet off center and there would be a
substantial amount of vegetation. Walls create a maintenance problem for the homeowner
and the project and present safety issues since people find them a good place to hide behind
and jump over. They thought this would be best addressed with a vinyl chain link fence and
additional landscaping.
Ms. Jasciewicz suggested combining the tot lot with the regular recreation area and putting it
in the center of the project. Mr. Weiner said they were thinking of eliminating parking to
make the area larger and would discuss this with staff.
Chair Wische opened the floor to the public and closed it when no one came fOlWard to speak.
Eric Johnson, Planner, stated that staff recommended approval of the site plan with the
conditions.
Attorney Tokes declared, in response to a question from the board, that Condition #36, as
written, provided for the ability of the developer to work with staff to meet the intent of the
recommendations. Approving it with that condition could require the applicant to meet with
staff anyway.
Ms. Jasciewicz wanted the motion to reflect her concerns as stated. The Board did not concur
with the recommendation for a wall.

Steve Liller, Town &: Country Homes, appeared to answer questions. James Williams,
Architect for the project appeared also.
Chair Wische asked the applicant's position on the 41 staff comments.
Attorney Tolces swore in the latecomers before proceeding.
Mr. Williams declared that the applicant agreed with all staff conditions except clarification was
needed on Conditions #19 and #40. Condition #19 refers to a greenway to be consistent
with the greenway proposed along the Renaissance Commons project. They would prefer
green area or green space to the term greenway.
Eric Johnson, Planner, said the word greenway was used to be consistent with the greenway
proposed for the Renaissance Commons project. For this project, the greenway would occur
along the east and north property lines and would be 40 feet wide on the east and 25 feet
wide on the north. Mr. Williams asked for and received confirmation they were talking about
an area with walkways and benches, not a wild, nature-type preserve. Mr. Johnson also stated
that Parks & Recreation had come up with a definition of what a greenway would look like and
it typically included a meandering path with some trees, park benches, and trash receptacles.
Mr. Williams felt they could agree to this condition.
Mr. Williams declared that Condition #40 referred to the location of the live/work units. Staff
suggested eliminating live work units at the northeast corner of the subject property. The
ordinance states that live/work units should be located along perimeter roads, and should,
therefore, be allowed.
