BACKGROUND Mr. Steve Liller with K. Hovnanian Homes is requesting an additional one (1) year site plan time extension for the Cortina project, a proposed 458 unit townhouse development on 30 acres of the 81.84-acre Boynton Village mixed-use project. The site plan for the Cortina project (NWSP 05-001) was approved on September 20, 2005 and was valid for one (1) year. At the time of site plan approval the regulations allowed a total of one (1) year to secure a building permit following site plan approval; however, the regulations have since been revised to allow an initial 18-month period to secure a building permit. A site plan time extension (SPTE 06-012) for this project was approved on February 13, 2007, which extended site plan approval for one (1) year, from September 20, 2006 to September 20, 2007. If this request for an additional extension were approved, the expiration date would be extended to September 20, 2008. The subject property, generally located at the northeast corner of Old Boynton Road and Congress Avenue, is bounded by the LWDD C-16 Canal to the north, the LWDD E-4 Canal to the east, and Old Boynton Road to the south. According to the original site plan staff report, the proposed Cortina at Boynton Village project is a Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) Master Planned development approved for 458 fee-simple townhouse dwelling units. The project has been approved for the following: a land use amendment (LUAR 04-006) from Moderate Density Residential (MoDR) to Mixed Use- Suburban (MX-S) classification; a rezoning (LUAR 04-006) from Single-Family Residential (R-1-M) to the Suburban Mixed Use (SMU) zoning district; a new site plan (NWSP 05-001); and a site plan time extension (SPTE 06-012). The approved SMU master plan depicts the proposed Cortina project to be developed in two (2) phases which will consist of a total of 458 fee-simple townhouse units. The project proposes a mix of buildings with a minimum of four (4) units to a maximum of six (6) units per building. The Cortina project was approved with various models that would range up to 2,898 square feet under air. All units would have three (3) bedrooms, and 127 units or (27.7%) are designated as "live/work" units located on the ground floor. Live/work units are generally limited to professional and business services with no more than two (2) on-site employees. The SMU zoning district limits the work space of the live/work unit to no more than 30% or 400 square feet, whichever is greater. The approved site plan indicates the townhouse buildings Staff Report - Cortina at Boynton Village (SPTE 07-010) Memorandum No PZ 07-103 Page 3 are approved with a Spanish-Mediterranean architectural style and building facades enhanced with balconies, trim, banding, columns, shutters, medallions, decorative garage doors, and Spanish S-tile roof. The proposed townhouse development would be constructed around an 8.3-acre lake. The Master Site Data Plan indicates that the recreation areas would account for 2.1 acres of the subject site. Internal private spaces in the form of small parks are sprinkled throughout the development, while a large five (5)- acre public park is proposed on the southern portion, east of the spine road and adjacent to Old Boynton Road. The two (2) recreation areas would have an 875-square foot clubhouse building and pool. ANALYSIS According to the current Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations, "the applicant shall have eighteen (18) months to secure a building permit from the Development Department", however at the time the site plan was approved, only one (1) year was allowed to secure a building permit. 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 August 22,2007, approximately one (1) month 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 buyers. The developer states that site plan amendments and required re-plat approval are 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 requested from the City and still requires payment of the Parks and Recreation impact fee. 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 approval. Lastly, no new land development regulations are now in place which staff recommends should be applied to the subject project. 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.

Boynton Beach Blvd. Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 August 22, 2007 Attn: Ed Breese Dear Ed, Please accept this letter as a written request for an additional time extension to our approved site plan and Development Order for Cortina. Our original site plan expiration date was September 20, 2006, we were granted a one year extension that expires September 20, 2007. K Hovnanian Homes (fka Town and Country Homes) will not have issued a building permit by this date. Based on the ongoing decline in the housing market, K Hovnanian Homes feels it is necessary to implement changes to the product type approved at Cortina. In order to meet the needs of the current market, we are reviewing the current site plan and will be implementing changes that we feel will assist with the marketing and selling of our homes. 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 town homes along with changes to the amenities that are currently proposed. 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. . Reservation fees for Water and Sewer have been paid K Hovnanian Homes has contributed their prorata share to the building of the common improvements both on and off site for Boynton Village. Approximately 6.8 million dollars will have been spent by K Hovnanian Homes for their prorated share of the Site Development Agreement for Boynton Village by the end of 2007.

The Landscape Architect should tabulate the total existing trees on the site. X The tabular data should show the individual species of trees proposed to remain in place, be relocated throughout the site, or removed / replaced on site. All desirable species of existing trees must be relocated rather than removed if the trees are in good health. These trees should be shown by a separate symbol on the landscape plan (Chapter 7.5, Article I Sec. 7.D.o. 2.). 22. Staff recommends preserving, where possible, all existing desirable trees that X are located within the proposed landscape buffers (Chapter 7.5, Article I Sec. 7.D.p. 2.). 23. The applicant must provide a lake littoral and transitional planting plans for X 50% of the lake perimeter (20 feet in width). 24. A Lake Maintenance Plan document must be provided for the proper X maintenance of the lake plantings. A time zero and quarterly monitoring report for two years is required of the developer. 25. The irrigation system design (not included in the plans) should be low volume X water conservation using non-portable water. 26. Turf and landscape (bedding plants) areas should be designed on separate X zones and time duration for water conservation. 27. Trees should have separate irrigation bubblers to provide water directly to the X root ball (Chapter 7.5, Article II Sec. 5. C.2.). PLANNING AND ZONING Comments: 28. The project is subject to the limitations and timing at which development may X proceed as outlined in the Palm Beach County Traffic approval letter or the conditions contained within the CRALLS amendment upon its adoption. 29. The SMU Master Plan does not match the proposed site plan in terms of the X number off ingress points proposed along the spine road. Therefore, the SMU Master Plan shall be modified to be consistent with all other plans. 30. At the time of permitting, the site statistics in the cover sheet (sheet A-Ol) X shall match the same in the master site data plan (sheet MSD). 31. At the time of permitting, the plant material proposed within the Typical Unit X DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE REJECT Landscape Plans shall be incorporated into the overall plant quantities in the Overall Landscape Plan plant list. 32. Regarding the live / work units: Unit "D" proposes a work space of 449 X square feet. Although the work area is 15.49% of the unit, at the time of permitting, the work area shall be reduced to no more than 400 square feet in order to comply with code. 33. Buildings designed as live / work units shall provide universal accessibility to X the front and to the interior space of the non-residential area of the live-work unit from the public sidewalk adjacent to the street (Chapter 2, Section 6.H.5.c.(1 ).( c).). At the time of permitting, provide a drawing that indicates parking available for these types of units and distance for determination of compliance with the Code. 34. The City encourages that one (1) parking space per two (2) live / work units X be provided to meet business activity needs. Parking provided to meet this requirement shall be located on the lot, built into or under the structure, or within 300 feet of the unit in which the use is located. Parking provided to accommodate said space, including driveways of adequate depth in front of the unit's garage, shall not serve as meeting required parking for the unit's residential use (Chapter 2, Section 6.H.5.c.(4). 35. On the landscape plan, ensure that the plant quantities match between the X tabular data and the graphic illustration. Staff recommends adding more trees along the south property line adjacent to the park. 36. In order to ensure proper maintenance of the buffer areas, staff recommends X that they be maintained by the Home Owners' Association so that no individual property owner removes any of the required plant material along the perimeter or interior of the development. 37. All freestanding monument signs shall have colorful groundcover installed at X the base (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.0). 38. Submit a master sign program that shows the number, location, dimensions, X exterior finish, and color(s) of all freestanding monument signs (Chapter 2, Section 5.H.9.). This would include signage for the live / work units. 39. Staff recommends orienting the townhouse buildings so that all units X (proposed along the spine road) are "facing" the spine road. This would apply to those units proposed south of the lake. Also, it would make sense for them to be "rear loaded units" or live-work units. However, if the developer elects to not re-orient the buildings, then staff recommends that the west fa<;ade of the townhouse building (proposed along the spine road) shall be enhanced with shutters, plaster banding, and / or archways to resemble the front facades. 40.
