Memorandum No. PZ 07-019
BACKGROUND
Ms. Lorie Moccia, representative for Lennar Homes, Incorporated, is requesting a one (1) year site plan time
extension for the construction of 64, three (3) story townhouse dwelling units. This site plan was originally
approved by the City Commission on February 15, 2005 along with the corresponding request for land use
change and rezoning (LUAR 04-010) to Special High Density Residential (SHDR) land use and Infill Planned
Unit Development (IPUD) zoning district. These approvals are valid for one (1) year from the date of approval,
unless a building permit has been issued or a time extension applied for. A site plan time extension was
approved in February of 2006, as the applicant was unable to secure a permit by the expiration date. A second
time extension is now requested. If this request for extensions were approved, the expiration date would be
extended to February 15, 2008. According to the modified site plan staff report, Seaview Park Club was
approved to construct a total of 64 dwelling units.
ANALYSIS
Lennar Homes, Inc. is requesting a second (1) year time extension to their original approval date of February
15, 2005. If granted, the site plan approval would be extended to February 15, 2008. All project conditions
of approval pertaining to the original Site Plan and Minor Modification would still apply.
In support of their request, Lennar Homes submitted a list of justifications. They note that since approval of
the first time extension, they have demonstrated their commitment to the completion of the project by
accomplishing the following:
. applied for and received a demolition permit on April 14, 2006
. completed demolition and clearing of the old mobile home park
. received a land development permit on July 17, 2006
. received a fill permit on August 14, 2006
. received a water and sewage permit on July 13, 2006
. received a paving and drainage permit on August 17, 2006
. water, sewer, and drainage construction has been completed and is currently in the final testing and
approval stages with Boynton Beach Utilities and Engineering
. the site has been filled and graded to proposed elevations
. dry utility for FPL, Bell South, and Comcast has begun
. the privacy wall near the south property line has been installed
. the bulk head wall has been installed along the Intracoastal Waterway
. the retaining wall along the north property line is under construction
. road construction is scheduled to begin on February 26, 2007
. the minor site plan modification to include docks was approved on July 24, 2006
According to Chapter 4, Section 5 of the Land Development Regulations at the time of site plan approval, "the
applicant shall have one (1) year to secure a building permit from the Development Department". 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
February 15, 2007 the expiration date of the previous one (1) year site plan extension.
A more formal criterion for evaluating requests for time extensions is compliance with concurrency
requirements. This project's traffic study was sent to Palm Beach County Traffic Division for their review and
approval at the time of original site plan review and approval. The Traffic Division determined that the
Page 3
Memorandum No. PZ 07-019
proposed mixed-use project is located within the designated Boynton Beach Traffic Concurrency Exception
Area (TCEA), and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) of Palm Beach County. However,
the original site plan approval indicates that no building permits are to be issued by the city after the build-
out date of 2006. Therefore, the applicant will need to approach Palm beach County once again to extend
the build-out date as set in the original site plan approval (See "Exhibit C - Conditions of Approval)
The site plan time extension would still be subject to the original conditions of the site plan approval. Lastly,
no new land development regulations are now in place against which the project should be reviewed and
modified. As for application of the Art in Public Places Ordinance, site plan approval occurred prior to the
adoption of Ordinance 05-060
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of this request for a one (1) year time extension of the new site plan (NWSP 04-
014) based upon the evidence of good faith submitted by the applicant to construct the project in a timely
manner. If this request for extension were approved, the expiration date of the application would be extended
to February 15, 2008, and all conditions from the original approvals must still be satisfactorily addressed during
the building permit process.

Re: Seaview Park Club - Request for Extension of Site Plan Approval
Dear Mike,
As you are aware, site plan approval for the above project was granted by the City
Commission on February 15, 2005, and an extension to the site plan was granted on
March 21, 2006. Lennar Homes, LLC. has been diligently working on the land
development and construction of this community. Despite our best efforts, however, it
appears that we will not have secured a foundation building permit from the City of
Boynton Beach prior to the expiration of our site plan approval.
We are therefore requesting an extension to our current site plan approval for a period
of one year to allow us to complete the building permit application process.
In support of this request for extension of site plan approval, we would ask that you
consider the following accomplishments, since the last extension was granted which we
feel demonstrates our firm commitment to the successful development of the Seaview
Park Club Community:
· Demolition Permit received April 14, 2006.
· Demolition and Clearing has been completed of the old mobile home park.
· Land Development Permit received July 17, 2006.
. Fill Permit received August 14, 2006
· Water and Sewer Permit received July 13, 2006.
· Paving and Drainage Permit received August 17, 2006.
· Water, Sewer and Drainage construction has been completed and is currently in
the testing and final approval stages with Boynton Beach Utilities and
Engineering.
· Site has been filled and graded to proposed elevations.
· Dry utility installation for FPL, Bell South and Comcast has begun.
· Privacy Wall near South property line installed.
· Bulk head Wall along Intracoastal installed.
· Retaining Wall along North property line under construction.
· Road construction scheduled to begin 2.26.07
· Minor modification of site plan to include docks approved July 24, 2006.
We respectfully request for this extension of the site plan approval be submitted for
inclusion in the next CRA agenda and the subsequent City Commission agenda. Lennar
Homes, LLC. will of course mail required notices to neighboring property owners and
