BACKGROUND
Mr. Steve Liller with Hovstone Properties Florida, LLC, is requesting a one (1) year site plan time extension
for an approved new site plan approval (NWSP 05-001) to construct a large townhouse development
within the 81.84-acre mixed-use project. The project will consist of 458 fee-simple townhouse units. All
units will have three (3) bedrooms with some units designated as live/work units. If this request for
extension were approved, the expiration date would be extended to September 20, 2007.
ANALYSIS
According to Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations, "the applicant shall have one (1)
year to secure a building permit from the Development Department". Examples of building permits include
but are not limited to the following: Plumbing, electrical, mechanical, foundation, and structural. The
Regulations authorize the City Commission to approve one (1) year time extensions, provided that the
applicant files the request prior to the expiration date of the development order. In this case, the
applicant has met that requirement. The Planning & Zoning Division received the extension request
September 18, 2006 - two (2) days prior to the expiration of the site plan.
The developer has indicated that recent changes in the local real estate market have compelled
K. Hovnanian Homes to review and reconsider the product they intend to construct. The renewed effort
will concentrate on creating more variety in product affordability, as mixed live/work units will combine
with both two (2) and three (3) story townhomes to welcome a broader range of potential end users. The
developer states that site plan amendments and revising the recorded plat is estimated to delay the
project up to six (6) months. In the meantime, all land development permits for infrastructure and
construction have been obtained with the exception of the Boynton Beach land development permit, which
has been submitted to the City and is awaiting the Parks and Recreation impact fee. The Cortina plat has
also been approved and recorded.
A more formal criterion for evaluating requests for time extensions is compliance with concurrency

requirements. A letter from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering was received indicating that the entire
Master Plan meets the traffic performance standards, with a series of conditions which limit or time
aspects of the development with certain roadway improvements. The site plan time extension would still
be subject to the original conditions of site plan approvals. Lastly, no new land development regulations
are now in place against which the project should be reviewed and modified. As for application of the Art
in Public Places Ordinance, site plan approval occurred prior to the adoption of Ordinance 05-060
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has reviewed this request for site plan time extension, and recommends approval, contingent upon
successfully satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional
conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the
Conditions of Approval.

Please accept this letter as a written request for a time extension to our approved site plan and
Development Order for Cortina. Our site plan expiration date is September 20, 2006 by which time a building
permit must be issued. K Hovnanian Homes (fka Town and Country Homes) will not have issued a building
permit by this date.
Dear Mike:
Based on the recent decline in the housing market, K Hovnanian Homes feels it is necessary to review and
rethink the product type approved at Cortina. In order to meet the needs of the current market, we have
worked together with the City to maintain our site plan layout and unit count of 458. We are, however, creating
a product mix to include live/work units, front load and rear load 3 story townhomes, and front load and rear
load 2 story townhomes. We feel the product mix will create variety in price and options to welcome a variety
of end users. The process of amending the site plan and revising the recorded plat is estimated to take up to
(6) six months therefore we are requesting a (1) one year time extension to allow for the necessary time to
revise and approve our site plan and plat.
Please note to date, all land development permits for infrastructure and construction have been obtained
with the exception of the Boynton Beach land development permit. This permit has been submitted to the
City and awaits the Parks and Recreation impact fee for approval. In addition, the Cortina plat has been
approved and recorded. We have worked diligently to date to meet the required dates; however, the unexpected
change in the market has halted our progression.
We would like to offer in advance, our appreciation for your time and approval of the requested time
extension to Cortina. We look forward to continued success working with the City as we move forward.
