PROJECT: AGENT: OWNER: LOCATION: DESCRIPTION: Boynton Vistas II (MSPM 07-004) Jeff Wolff, Wolff & Company, Inc. Wolff & Company, Inc. 420 NE 17th Avenue Request for Major Site Plan Modification approval to allow construction of seven additional mUlti-family residential apartment units in two, 1-story buildings, and a 1,000 square foot rental office on a 1. 76-acre site zoned R-3, Multi-family Residential. Ms. Zeitler noted the subject property for the proposed Boynton Vistas II project consisted of a proposed 1-story building with four units, a 1-story building with three units, and a 1,000 square foot rental office. The project was proposed at the maximum density. The proposed rental office could not be converted into an additional dwelling unit in the future. Staff reviewed the site plan and determined the project, along with the recommended conditions of approval, complied with the Land Development Regulations. The project had received approval for traffic and school concurrency. The existing parking lot would be reconfigured and upgraded to several current Code requirements for traffic and pedestrian circulation, accessibility and landscaping. The parking lot would be resurfaced and restriped and would include new curbing, landscaped islands and sidewalks. The project proposed a mix of two and three-bedroom units, based on 19 total units, and 1,000 square feet of office space. The project required 42 parking spaces and a total of 45 parking spaces were provided, included two handicap spaces. The entire site would be landscaped to comply with current requirements. A large, open-space area, approximately 100 feet by 100 feet, would remain vacant, serving as usable open space and a recreation area for the residents. Building IlA" would contain four dwelling units and Building IlBIl would contain three dwelling units and an office. The minimum living area for multi-family units in the R-3 zoning district was 750 square feet. Each of the dwelling units, and the office would be approximately 1,000 square feet in size. Staff reviewed this request for major site plan modification and was recommending approval with conditions. 5 Meeting Minutes Planning and Development Board Boynton Beach, Florida April 22, 2008 Jeff Wolff, President, Wolff & Company, Inc., and owner of Boynton Vistas, concurred with all the conditions of approval. He noted the existing buildings were fully occupied and as such, there was a need for the project. Additionally, in order to accommodate requests of Section 8 Housing and Affordable Housing, he included three-bedroom, and three-bath units in the mix. Board discussion ensued. Highlights included: · The floor plan was not good, as the bedrooms were larger than they needed to be (especially the master bedroom), while the living room and dining rooms should be larger. · The plan was consistent with today's market, and the kitchen and bedrooms were the most important features. Mr. Wolff noted, in dealing with handicap issues, he was requested to modify the bathrooms, which reduced the size of the living area. Representatives of companies with which he dealt believed it was more important for individuals to be able to navigate more easily in the bedrooms than in the living rooms. Mr. Wolff advised all units in the development were rentals and, in his opinion, were very marketable. He was prepared to build the units immediately upon approval. He added funding should be available within the next 30 days. He pointed out the floor plans for the proposed units were consistent with the floor plans of the existing buildings, and the proposed units would be upgraded to provide hurricane shutters. He reiterated Section 8 Housing would be provided pursuant to the Fair Housing Act. Board discussion ensued. Highlights included: · As the units in existing buildings were fully occupied, the need existed for the development. · The necessity for the provision of Section 8 Housing was noted. Motion Mr. Lis moved to approve, with all conditions of approval as noted. Mr. Saberson seconded the motion that passed 5-1 (Mr. Myatt dissenting). Mr. Barnes arrived at 7:05 p.m. Ed Breese, Principal Planner, requested Items 7.C1., Safe & Secure Phase III, Major Site Plan Modification, and 7.C2., Safe & Secure Phase III, Community Design Plan Appeal, be addressed simultaneously for presentation and voted on individually. The board had no objection to the request. 6
