Weiner Weiner & Aronson, P.A. 102 North Swinton Avenue Delray Beach, FL 33444 RE: Makrista Baby (ADAP 07-002), Administrative Appeal File No. MABA002 Dear Michael: This letter is in response to your letter dated September 7,2007, wherein you opine that the above- referenced item should not be reviewed by the advisory boards. In brief, the review process and schedule is based on Chapter 1.5, Section 4.3 (B) of the Land Development Regulations, which lists the application types that are reviewed by the Planning & Development Board prior to the City Commission's review; paragraph "C" which describes the Community Redevelopment Agency's (eRA) role; and the fact that the item involves the Zoning Regulations generally, rather than a site- specific application. It has been our normal procedure to forward such applications to both advisory boards prior to consideration by the Commission. However, iftime is an issue, please recall that ifthere are special conditions or a hardship that warrant a more expeditious review, the City Commission can modify the schedule to allow the item to be heard at the next Commission meeting (rather than being heard at the second Commission meeting following the final board review). Furthermore, given the Commission's current dual role, it may not be necessary for the item to be reviewed by the CRA as well. I will confer with the City Attorney on this matter and inform you of our position. Sincerely, tLA ,_C_ Michael W.

Rumpf Director of Planning & Zoning City of Boynton Beach 100 East Boynton Beach Blvd. Boynton Beach, Florida 33425 Re: Administrative Appeal Our File No.:MABA002 Dear Mike: We respectfully submit that the Administrative Appeal for Makrista Baby only be heard by City Commission. A recommendation by the Planning and Development Board and the Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") should not be necessary. Subsection B of Article 7, Section 1 of the Land Development Regulations (""LOR's") states that new appeals will be forwarded to the appropriate appeal board for placement on the board's next available agenda. This section of the LOR's references a single board as opposed to review by multiple boards. Further, there is no reference to review by multiple boards anywhere within Article 7, Appeals, of the LOR's. In addition, Section 1, Subsection E, Hearing of Appeals, only contains reference to a singular hearing during which any party may appear in person by agent or by attorney. Moreover, three (3) hearings for this appeal places a severe economic burden on the appellant. Accordingly, we do not believe it is necessary that this Administrative Appeal be reviewed for a recommendation to the City Commission. the Planning and Development Board or the CRA Board. The City Commission, in its decision-making capacity, is entrusted with the ability to reverse, affirm or modify the decision of the Administrative Official. Thus, please remove this item from the PI ning and Development Board agenda of September 25, 2007 and the CRA Board agenda of ctober 9, 2007.

Thus, the activity of photographing children in their products and creations is equivalent to this permitted use, as these photographs would not be developed or sold for retail. Makrista Baby is a specialized, low traffic, small business. Their activities are similar to those of a dressmaker and tailor, as they are merely altering, adapting and embellishing the clothing as it currently exists for specific clienfele. Thus, the operations of Makrista Baby should be permitted as a conditional use in the C-1 zoning district. Additionally, if the similarity of use is granted, the use would still be subject to the additional requirements for a conditional use, including approval by the appropriate City Boards. This is simply small business owners wishing to conduct themselves in accordance with the City ordinances, and thus are requesting a similarity of use in order to do so. S.
