Dixie Highway Stuart, FL 34994 April 25, 2006 City of Boynton Beach Planning & Zoning Division P.O, Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 Subject: Code Variance - Buffer Wall- West Industrial Avenue Gentlemen: Please consider the following prevailing conditions and circwnstances that prohibit compliance with existing City of Boynton Beach Codes; Chapter (2) Section (4) Reference (L) in replacement of existing dectepit buffer wall. A. Strip of land, owned by BIPPOA on which subject buffer wall is required to be installed, is only two (2') feet wide and is located at the western extremity of a long standing FPL Utility' Easement ER No.7034 granted August 19, 1961 (O.R.B. 672, Pgs. 40-41) and the eastern extremity of Laurel Hills Third Addition (Plat Book 23, Page 126) and Fourth Addition (Plat Book 23, Page 142). B, The dedicated property on which the present buffer wall was constructed during early 1980's by developer complied with the codes in existence at that time. Allotted space is inadequate for compliance with current codes without variance. C. We are unaware of any similar circumstances in zoning district that would be adversely affected by requested variance. D. Code requirements for building a concrete, masonry or stucco wall without encroaching on another property or easement is not possible within the 2' strip of land owned by BIPPOA. Enclosed please find copy of a letter from Florida Power & Light, dated April 7, 2006 and under the signature of Joseph O'Hagen, which denies any encroaclunent upon their easement. This obviously produces an \U1tenable hardship upon land and BIPPOA. Ap r, 25. 2006 3: 03PM VERMEER SE No, 3087 p, 5 Page 2 E. The only alternative we have found meeting the 140 mph hwricane code and feasible to install within the 2' space is the Basteel shadow box buffer wall/fence. By granting variance (equested a very aesthetically pleasing and protective buffer intended by the code can be realized. F. Chapter (2), Section (4), Reference (L) is achieved and is in no way potentially detrimental of public welfare. G. There is no practical alternative land available for acquisition by BIPPOA on which a buffer wall that meets existing codes could be constructed. We appreciate your consideration in granting our variation request. Sincerely, AFFIDAVIT: This is to certify that no conditions exist whereby additional adjacent land could be acquired by BIPPOA for purpose of constructing of Buffer Wall between Laurel Hills Third and Fourt dditions and West Industrial Avenue.

Please note that the information below is ordered to correspond with the numbering within your letter dated January 3, 2003. 1) The property described, a utility easement, is industrially zoned as part of the greater industrial area, and therefore subject to the buffer requirement. 2) As indicated above (Item #1), it is the zoning district, not the use that triggers the buffer requirement; 3) Although that may reduce potential impacts upon residential properties, it is the zoning district that determines the necessity for a buffer wall. Please understand that pursuant to Chapter 2, Zoning Section 4,6, Buffer Walls, the buffer wall requirement is even applicable to non-industrial zoning districts such as C-2 and C-3, I can locate similar instances within the City where a shopping center is separated from a neighborhood by the expanse of a parking area, green buffer, a road, (public or private street), and residential setbacks without being exempt from the buffer wall requirement; and 4) That provision of paragraph "L" is intended to apply to corner lots so the wall is not placed along the "front" or "front corner of a parcel." The subject roadway is part of the platted industrial subdivision and part of the industrial zoning district. In addition to the responses to your specific points, it should also be noted that the necessity for the buffer wall was originally considered, as indicated by the recorded plat which identifies it as a "buffer wall" and designates the location for its perpetual existence. It is clear that the intent of the Land Development Regulations is to buffer the adjacent neighborhood from the subject industrial district. Please understand that the code allows some flexibility with respect to the design and assembly of a "buffer" wall, as long as masonry is used, Any deviation from this requirement would require the requesting and granting of relief by the City Commission. However, staff acknowledges the challenges to erecting a new buffer wall without conflicting with current code (i.e. a two foot setback) and the nearby utility easement. Please call me should you require additional information or desire staff assistance with brainstorming possible solutions to the assumed conflicts. Sincerely, Michael W.

If I recall correctly, we need to discuss placement in ROW with Engineering. If a variance is requested, a current/updated survey would b e required showing exact placement and variance. But that should be 1 determined after the location is finalized. All existing/affected elements should be somehow reflected on survey. As for communication with property owners the only certain thing is that for a variance the cit send out the notices. We can discuss with scott blasie if there are encroachment issues.

My assumption is that any notice to property owners regarding their infringement into the easement would be handled by City of Boynton Beach? As indicated in prior communication with Mr. Blasie, we do have initial approval from FPL for placing the new replacement wall within their easement but will need final approval of positioning from their local service group. As you may recall from our prior meeting with City personnel, we are also somewhat concerned on the impact of current set back requirements and the likely intrusion into City right of way at each vertical column due to oversize of each footer. We have concluded that the proposed wall cannot be built within recorded 2' easement located at western extremity of recorded 6' FPL easement and fall within City code regulations. Please advise what steps you perceive necessary for us to work toward a mutually acceptable solution now that we have tentative FPL OK to proceed. We appreciate your past cooperation in working through development of Vermeer property and look forward to working together in meeting the mutual needs of BIPPOA and City of Boynton Beach.

This matter is being handled by the new Boynton Beach Industrial Park POA board of directors and Moyle-Flanigan is no longer representing the "association".

As I recall some attendees were Peter Roy, Michael Rumpf, Jose Alfaro, Frantz LaFontant, Rick Kozell, Michael Adair and myself. There were others attending but I fail to recall their names. The conclusion was drawn that in no way could this wall be replaced by the October 1, 2003 extension date, due to fact of need for adherence to present set back regulations, need for approval from FPL as it is within their easement, architectural re-design and subsequent permitting. My recollection is a January 2004 review date was established. We have since been in contact with FPL and recently received their tentative lack of objection to placement within their easement, however require further approval by their local supervisor, Mr. Vince Nocera, prior to actual construction. We are reviewing design possibilities and placement, attempting to determine costs and feasibility within the six foot easement and present setback regulations, and process of notifying adjacent property owners, etc. We will be working with Mr. Rumpf and other City personnel to resolve obstacles in permitting process. This type of expenditure must be endorsed by the POA, which will also require a certain amount of time once the preliminary matters are resolved.

Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 RE: Boynton Industrial Park Associates Request for Zoning Interpretation Dear Mr. Rumph: This Firm represents the Boynton Industrial Park Property Owners Association, which comprises approximately 25Yz acres located on the east side of West Industrial Avenue. The purpose of this correspondence is to (i) follow up after the previous meeting with your staff ind (ii) continue discussions regarding our request for a determination from your Department regarding the possibility of an acceptable alternative to a masonry block wall along the western property line of the Boynton Industrial Park. There are unusual circumstances that need to be considered in making this determination. Hopefully, this correspondence will explain the unique characteristics of this property and that a chainlink fence and appropriate landscaping will be an acceptable alternative in lieu of a masonry block wall. I call your attention to the City of Boynton Beach Zoning Code, specifically Section 4, General Provisions, Buffer Walls. A copy is provided for your ready reference. Upon review of this definition and its requirements, we believe this particular de[mition does not address our client's unique situation, which we will explain in the following: G:\19192\15\1-rumph (OI-02-03).wpd Michael Rumph January 3, 2003 Page 2 1. Although our client's property does abut residential to the west, the Boynton Industrial Park is not new construction nor are any major modification to the existing development proposed. In addition, our client's western most two (2) feet of property, which abuts the Laurel Hills subdivision, is the easement for the buffer wall which is a non-industrial use; 2. The project was approved and platted in 1981 and has recently received several site plan approvals for new construction, none of which are of a "heavy industrial nature". 21 years later, a crumbling concrete block wall may not be the best choice for a visual buffer; 3. One of the unique characteristics to this property is that any industrial activity, which on this property will be of a relatively clean nature, will be located well over 125 feet away from any residentially-zoned property. We determined this distance by including the 60 foot right-of-way for West Industrial Avenue, a 50 foot drainage swale and the applicable setback(s) for the industrial zoning category; 4. The property is an exterior property line and not an interior property line as required under the definition of "buffer wall"; 5. In similar situations where residentially zoned property in Boynton Beach is across a public right-of-way from industrially zoned property, a wall has not always been required. We ask that you provide us with a written interpretation as to the issues we have raised so that our client may determine if a fence, with appropriate landscaping and screening would be an acceptable alternative to a 20 year old ugly deteriorating louvered buffer wall. S~ould you have any further questions or require additional information with respect to the above, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation. I look forward to your reply. S' Ch les . Millar, Jr. Development Planner CWM:ct cc: Leonard Sylk: Peter L. Breton, Esq. Marta M.
