Dear Mr. Meaux:
Enclosed is the Development Order granted by the City Commission on February 2 I, 2006. The site plan time extension
approval is a second one-year time extension of the site plan approval granted on September 2,2003, from September 2,2005
to September 2, 2006. In order to maintain vested status, a building permit must be secured or an extension granted within one
year of this extension approval, and please note the additional conditions of approval that originate from the agreement with
representatives of adjacent property owners.
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 this new Development Order, including these conditions, must
accompany the submission of the fully amended site plan set, as well as the original Development Order and associated
conditions. 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 TART
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 (56 I) 742-6260.

D. Ratification of Planning & Development Board Action:
1. 51. Gregor~ Armenian Church (SPTE 04-011) - West of
Southwest 8 Street, South of Boynton Beach Boulevard - Request
for a one (1) year time extension of the site plan approval granted
on September 2, 2003, from September 2, 2004 to September 2,
2005 (POSTPONED TO JANUARY 18, 2005 AT APPLICANT'S
REQUEST)
Vice Mayor McCray pointed out that the Commission was being asked to approve a site
plan extension, which Attorney Cherof confirmed. This is not a re~review or modification
of the original site plan.
Commissioner Ensler reported that the site plan extension was approved by the
Planning and Development Board by a 4 to 3 vote, which he did not consider was a
good vote. He would prefer that the Commission received stronger votes.
Since the item was pulled, Mayor Taylor opened the public audience.
Shirley Jaskiewicz, 1917 5W 13th Avenue, Boynton Beach thanked Mr. Meaux, the
representative of the Armenian Cultural Association, Commissioner Ensler and staff for
meeting with the residents that were concerned about this project. The residents feel
that this is an overuse of the property. Most of the project intrudes into residential areas
on both sides. She would like the use of the facility to be a church and the fellowShip
building.
Ms. Jaskiewicz also noted that the dumpster and the pump station were located along
the boundaries of the residential areas and she noted that Mr. Meaux did make some
changes to address these concerns. She felt that trash cans should be used in place of
a dumpster.
Mayor Taylor explained to Ms. Jaskiewicz that the Commission was only addressing the
time extension for the site plan and the site plan had already been approved.

Meeting Minutes
Regular City Commission Meeting
Boynton Beach, Florida
January 18, 2005
Dale Meaux, of the API Group, Boca Raton, Florida, is the architect for the project.
Mr. Meaux confirmed that the site plan was approved and there have been no changes
in the ordinances that would make the site plan non-conforming. He acknowledged that
they have met with the neighbors and are trying to address their concerns. Mr. Meaux
requested that the Commission approve their request so they could continue their
project.
Motion
Vice Mayor McCray moved to extend the site plan approval granted from September 2,
2004 to September 2,2005. Motion seconded by Commissioner Ferguson.
Commissioner Ensler noted that there were three phases to the site plan, the first two
deal with the church and the third phase is the development of a building in back of the
church to be used as a basketball court. He felt that this building would interfere with
the residents that live adjacent to those buildings and would devalue the neighboring
homes.
The residents of Leisureville would like the request to be turned down and that the site
plan time extension be re-approved for phases 1 and 2 and that phase 3 be discussed
at a future date. Commissioner Ensler was opposed to having a 30' building in the
backyard of the residents living in single-family homes.
Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, pointed out that at the Planning and
Development Board meeting, the Assistant City Attorney explained that anything on the
site plan represented approval and phase 3 was part of the approval of the approved
site plan. Vice Mayor McCray noted that staff recommended approval of 1he site plan
time extension until September 2,2005.
Vote
The vote on the motion passed 4-1 (Commissioner Ensler dissenting).
