Dear Mr. Hernandez:
Enclosed is the Development Order granted by the City Commission on December 18, 2007. The major site plan modification
approval is valid for eighteen months from the date of final approval. In order to maintain vested status, a building permit
must be secured or an extension requested prior to expiration.
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 the Development Order, including these conditions, must
accompany the submission of the fully amended site plan set. 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 ofthe 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.

Meeting Minutes
Planning and Development board
Boynton Beach, Florida
November 27, 2007
Acting Chair Casaine invited public comments. No one having come forward, public
comments were closed.
Mr. Blehar inquired whether the applicant could improve the landscaping along the
perimeter. Mr. Breese commented it would not be an issue for the applicant, as it was
a City-owned cemetery. He added palm trees were recently planted at the site, but it
would be a tremendous expense to lushly landscape around the perimeter of the site.
Motion
Mr. Lis moved approval. Ms. Grcevic seconded the motion that passed unanimously.

High Ridge PUD (MSPM 07-010)
Tim Hernandez, New Urban High Ridge, LLC
New Urban High Ridge, LLC
Northwest corner of High Ridge Road and
Miner Road
Request for a major site plan modification to
change the type of housing unit approved from
48 single-family detached units (a net
reduction of 64 units), and to change other
site-related improvements on 18.44 acres
zoned PUD.
Kathleen Zeitler, Planner, advised the project was previously approved for a total of 174
units consisting of 48 single-family detached and 126 townhouse units. The applicant
wished to reduce the number of units to 110 single-family detached units. The property
located at the northwest corner of Miner Road and High Ridge Road was previously
approved and received a site plan time extension. The reduction in density would
decrease from 9.43 dwelling units per acre to 5.96 dwelling units per acre. A revised
traffic concurrency approval would be required as a condition of approval prior to
permitting. The applicant recently received the school concurrency approval.
In the previously-approved development, single-family detached units were located on
the larger lots to the west, adjacent to the country club. The smaller lots were along
High Ridge Road where the fee-simple townhouse units were going to be built. The
applicant proposed a new site plan that basically was the same with respect to the large
lots. The lake and amenity areas with the pool and pool house remained. The only
changes were to the street and lot layouts along High Ridge Road, where single-family

units would be substituted for the townhouses. A re-plat of the subdivision would be
required prior to permitting. The landscaping' was very similar to that which was
previously approved. The landscape buffer along High Ridge Road was previously
approved at a width of 8 feet. However, the County had required the dedication of a
15-foot wide strip along High Ridge Road for a future right-of-way. There were no plans
to widen High Ridge Road, and it was unlikely the landscaping would be removed in the
future. The applicant was also proposing to add landscaping trees and shrubs on each
lot in the development.
A variety of models were proposed, ranging from one-story to two-stories. The smallest
home would provide 1,875 square feet of air-conditioned space, while the largest would
provide 3,009 square feet of air-conditioned space. All units would include two-car
garages and additional parking would be provided within the development for guests
and overflow. Ms. Zeitler believed this was a much better plan than that which was
previously approved. As a condition of approval, staff was requiring a 6-foot masonry
buffer wall along the north property line adjacent to the single-family home to the
north. The project also was required to comply with the Art in Public Places ordinance.
Staff recommended approval subject to satisfying 55 recommended conditions of
approval. Ms. Zeitler believed the applicant was in agreement with all the conditions,
except for the buffer wall.
Tim Hernandez, New Urban Communities, 398 NE 6th Avenue, Delray Beach, believed,
with the preponderance of town homes existing along U.S.! and Congress Avenue, there
were few opportunities for single-family detached homes. They would be able to offer
single-family homes starting below $300,000. With regard to the conditions of
approval, they objected to condition #53, contending there were no previous
requirements to place a concrete wall along the north end of the property. Additionally,
they did not believe the wall fit in with the character of the neighborhood. They agreed
to landscape the property, install a fence or whatever else was desired in lieu of a
concrete wall. He requested the condition not be imposed. Secondly, they questioned
the public art contribution requirement. While they were supporters of art in the
community, the additional fee would be difficult for them. They did not believe the fee
was equitable as the density and impact were decreasing. They had no objection to the
remaining conditions.
Mr. Hernandez pointed out there was one single-family dwelling on an acre lot where
the wall was required. He indicated he was philosophically opposed to concrete walls
separating residential uses. Additionally, the wall would require maintenance. If the
intent were to provide a visual barrier, he had no objection to the addition of a fence,
hedge or trees.

Ms. Zeitler presented a map reflecting the lot ran the entire length of the north property
line. Most of the homes would include rear-loaded garages. Residents would drive in
the community at night, using headlights. Staff felt the masonry wall would protect the
adjacent property from the headlights.
Acting Chair Casaine inquired whether a hedge would suffice as a buffer. Ms. Zeitler
pointed out the hedge would probably be maintained at three feet in height and it could
take some time for the height to reach a level where it would provide screening.
Additionally, Ms. Zeitler was unaware of whether the hedge would be opaque enough to
screen headlights and noise from the vehicles and units.
Mr. Hernandez indicated they would work with staff and a horticulturist to put in a
hedge immediately that would grow to a height of six feet. They had no intention of
maintaining the hedge at a three-foot height.
Acting Chair Casaine invited public comments. No one having come forward, public
comments were closed.
Board comments included consideration of foliage or vegetation rather than a wall. Ms.
Zeitler pointed out condition #53 required a hedge be placed on the outside of the wall
as well. Thus, the wall would not be directly on the property line, but would be moved
into the middle of the buffer, with hedges on both sides.
Mr. Lis and Ms. Grcevic believed Mr. Hernandez should be given the opportunity to
meet with the homeowner on the lot in question and present the options available. Ms.
Zeitler indicated PUDs typically had masonry buffer walls along the interior property
lines. Staff did not request a buffer along the west property line as it was adjacent to
the country club which provided a large buffer.
Ms. Jaskiewicz believed hedges could provide greater soundproofing than a wall could
and would agree to a foliage or vegetation buffer in lieu of a wall.
Discussion ensued as to the application of the Art in Public Places ordinance to major
site plan modifications, and why the condition requiring the wall was being imposed at
this time when it was not previously required.
Mr. Blehar inquired whether staff believed placement of a traffic light at High Ridge and
Miner Roads would be consistent with good traffic planning. Ms. Zeitler believed the
applicant had a traffic study made, and it was determined this development would not
warrant a light at this intersection. Mr. 'Blehar inquired as to why the developer elected
to construct the garages on the alley side. Mr. Hernandez noted the garages were
placed in the back for aesthetic purposes.

Mr. Barnes inquired whether the board had the discretion to recommend not applying
the conditions. Mr. Breese believed the City Commission would need to revisit their
ordinance and make adjustments for major site plan modifications and other desired
exemptions.
Motion
Mr. Barnes moved to approve the project, subject to condition #40 being reviewed by
the City Commission as to whether it could be waived or not, to recommend waiving
the fee in this case, and to modify condition #53 to include a fence and hedge instead
of a wall. Mr. Lis seconded the motion that passed unanimously.

Boynton Beach Mall Leased Area
Request for a mobile vending unit permit to
operate an auto detailing business at the
Boynton Beach Mall in accordance with
Ordinance 07-024.
Mr. Breese advised this was the first application to be reviewed under the new adopted
mobile vending unit ordinance. The applicant was requesting formal approval to
operate a mobile vending unit and had negotiated a new lease with Simon Properties
Group, owners of the Boynton Beach Mall. He noted the board was the ultimate
deciding board on this application. It would not go on to the City Commission unless it
was appealed by another party, principally the applicant, if he was not satisfied with the
decision. Staff had reviewed the request and was satisfied all City requirements and
conditions of approval would be fully met. Mr. Breese reviewed all the conditions #1
through #4, which were set forth in the paCket.
Jamil Haddad, 11452 Sage Meadow Terrace, Royal Palm Beach, advised he was the
owner of Mr. Hand Wax.
Ms. Jaskiewicz inquired whether this project differed in any way from the previous
business. Mr. Haddad advised the mall required new equipment that was more
representative of the image pursued by the mall owners. The equipment was removed
each day. Mr. Haddad agreed to comply with all four of the conditions and understood
this was necessary in order to be operative.
