It had been an honor and privilege to serve as master servant. He had no regrets and nothing put positive hopes. There was no doubt the new Commission would move the City to a higher level. Only in America could a small boy who grew up in the area become the Mayor of the third largest municipality in Palm Beach County. He especially thanked his wife, Mildred Hay. A standing ovation was given. Mayor Taylor read a citation and presented a plaque to Mack McCray as Vice Mayor of the City of Boynton Beach. Mr. McCray thanked all the citizens, former Commissioner Bill Orlove and the employees of the City of Boynton Beach who have watched him grow and mature. He has learned to take things in stride. He did all he could, when he could, for the good that he could. The new Commission was being left with a balanced budget according to the law. He had been appointed during an unstable time for the City and survived. One of his greatest accomplishments was removing the word Interim from the City Manager title. To the new Commissioners, he reminded them they work for all the people of the City of Boynton Beach and to always keep the door open for communication with the City Manager. The position of the seat should not blind their vision to the responsibility to the citizens of Boynton Beach. Mayor Taylor read and presented a citation to Commissioner Wayne Segal. Commissioner Segal indicated it was an honor to serve on the Commission and the City of Boynton Beach. He was also glad to be a party to removing the Interim tag from the City Manager position. It had been a pleasure to serve with the Commissioners and he appreciated all their support. It was a great opportunity and he thanked everyone for making it possible. Ms. LaVerriere read a citation and presented a plaque to Jerry Taylor as Commissioner for District 1. It was a true pleasure for her to serve as the City Manager with Mayor Taylor at the helm for the future of Boynton Beach.

PUBLIC AUDIENCE 4 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL March 19, 2013 INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS WILL BE LIMITED TO 3 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS (at the discretion of the Chair, this 3 minute allowance may need to be adjusted depending on the level of business coming before the City Commission) Dr. Piotr Blass, 113 W. Tara Lakes Drive, congratulated Mayor Taylor and knew he regretted that Dr. Blass had not been placed on the ballot to run for election. He was compelled to file a suit against the Supervisor of Election relating to signature verification. His sources indicated the media had been forewarned that even mentioning his name would result in dismissal. He loved the City and was using the judicial system to improve the current regulations. Dr. Blass hoped for an 80% to 90 % voter turnout in the next election. An individual came forward and congratulated the newly elected officials including Commissioner Fitzpatrick who was his District Commissioner. The Old Schoolhouse has been dilapidated for over 30 years and he asked the Commission to take care of the site. He understood the current interested party was having financing issues and he urged the Commission to get Plan B in place such as a referendum question to the voter asking if money should be spent to rehab the facility for a police station. If it doesn't work, it should be knocked down, The gentleman expected great things from the Commission and urged them to do something with the Old High School as soon as possible. Mark Karageorge, 240A Main Boulevard, announced on Saturday there would be a prayer march in the City from 900 N. Seacrest Boulevard to the amphitheater starting at 8:30 a.m. He encouraged participation from all faiths. Another event coming up was the Red Hot Blues Cruise on April 20 including great music, food and custom and classic cars. On April 26 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m., there would be a candlelight vigil at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Seacrest in memory of victims of violent crimes in the City. The Hands Around Boynton event sponsored by Boynton United would be the next day from 8 a.m. to noon. The same afternoon, at Harvey Oyer Park, the Firefighters would be having their annual chili cook off and fishing tournament. Mr. Karageorge congratulated the new Commissioners and wished the runoff contenders the best of luck in the election. He hoped those that had not won would continue to be involved in the City and offer their input. Jonathan Porges, Chair of the Greater Boynton Beach Chamber of Commerce and representing its 600 members, congratulated the newly elected officials. They looked forward to working in partnership with the Commission to advance economic development, community redevelopment and continue the collaborative partnership between the Chamber, City and Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). One collaborative event was the Red Hot Blues Cruise that would take place outside City Hall, the Library and Museum. 5 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL March 19, 2013 Evelyn Withee, 2099 SW Park Drive, was part of a group called PLAN — Preserve our Leisureville Neighborhood, who were present to congratulate the new Commission and offer suggestions to make their contributions to the Board more effective. They would recap the actions taken in 2007 regarding the height variance for an applicant to build a five -story hotel in an area zoned for a maximum of four stories and 45 feet on Ocean Drive. Amelia Hamedi, 1010 SW 16 Street, congratulated the newly elected Commissioners. One requirement of a height variance was the issuance of a site plan. The hotel application did not include a site plan submittal due to cost. The Planning Department must have felt it was acceptable because they reviewed the application and put the public at a disadvantage. The cost of the site plan to the developer was more important than the decline in property values to the neighboring communities. She suggested the Planning Department not review an application unless the application is complete as specified. Patricia Maupin, 1002 SW 5 Court, congratulated those elected, and gave her understanding of the process for variance applications including notice within 10 days of the hearing, to the residents within 400 feet of the proposed project. An affidavit of mailing has to be provided to the staff and upon request, it was determined an affidavit had not been filed. The residents were not aware that their voices could have been heard at the public hearing. She suggested the City Clerk should notify the Planning Division if an affidavit of mailing has not been submitted to protect the public interest. Pete Senftleben, 119 NW 14 Street, wished more people would vote, but congratulated those who had won their campaigns. Mr. Senftleben outlined his rendition of the zoning requirements for signage and posting. A request had been made for a copy of the photo of the signage posted and there was none on file. Proof of notice should have been filed before any type of hearing was held. The public's interest was not protected when the ordinances and processes were not followed. Bridget Fitzmaurice, 599 SW Golf Drive, offered her congratulations to the new Commissioners. Ms. Fitzmaurice reviewed her understanding of the review process that was required to be done, including the seven allowable exceptions according to the Land Use Regulations. The hotel height variance was reviewed and staff did not support the position for the requested variance because it was not consistent with the zoning regulations. It was indicated that landscape screening for anything above 45 feet would be difficult. It was recommended by staff that the project be redesigned. If the height was needed for more visibility it should have been a height exception rather than request for a variance. An alternate design would satisfy the visibility objective while maintaining the mass of the building to comply with the zoning regulations. Following the regulations is a necessity. Alyce Okeefee, 721 SW Lake Court, attempted to explain the difference between a height variance and height exception. The height exception has an expiration 6 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL 7 March 19, 2013 statement. Rather than following the recommendations of the Planning Board, the applicant proceeded to a hearing with the City Commission who reversed the decision of the Planning staff and Planning and Development Board. She emphasized the Commission should be more aware of the regulations, since their choices have consequences. Ann Morais, 117 Lake Terrace, pointed out approval of a request for variance can only be given if sufficient legal reasons are presented. The staff and Board determined the legal requirements had not been met. She wished the newly elected Commission good luck in the coming years. Carol Beech, 1801 Ocean Drive, contended the decision of the. Commission to grant the variance should have been more thoroughly discussed at the meeting. The lack of any interest from the residents of Leisureville should have raised a question in their minds. At least one letter had been sent that indicated not everyone in Leisureville agreed with the request. She stressed the interest of all parties should be considered. Sandra Peterson - Hardt, 1007 SW 17 Street, disagreed with Mayor Taylor's contention that he had voted in favor of the variance and thought the residents did not object to the variance. Five Leisureville residents did attend the first hearing and two spoke against the project. Gifts and money had been promised by the developers to the other three attendees in exchange for their support of the project. There were no Leisureville residents present at the City Commission hearing. However, Commissioner Wieland did indicate there was a letter from a Leisureville Director who advised many residents of the community did not favor the project. The issue could have been tabled at that point, rather a motion to approve was allowed to proceed. It was suggested the Commission do more research into any issues that would greatly impact the lives of the neighborhood. Petitions from 1,427 residents had been collected who feel their concerns have been ignored. Barbara Kaczmarczyk, 1802 Ocean Drive, indicated decisions and irregularities have worked in favor of the developer while the concerns of the public have been ignored. The application was not completed, public notification was improper if done at all, staff recommendations were not heeded and the Commissioners overruled the Advisory Board and staff recommendations and approved the request with no legal foundation. The Commission has an obligation to review what occurred in 2007 and the City Attorney should play a larger role in advising the Commission on the issue in 2013. She urged the Commission to include the public and govern in a fair and equitable manner. Commissioner Merker had met with many of the people from Leisureville and declared he would do what he could to open up the issue. He had discussed it with the City Attorney to be placed on the agenda so a determination could be made if irregularities or misunderstandings had occurred in the past. Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL Mayor Taylor inquired of the City Attorney about the current status of the project. Attorney Cherof advised the application had not been filed for the site plan as a hotel and there is nothing for staff involvement until the application is made. At that point, the issue would be evaluated. Ed Breese, Principal Planner, acknowledged an application had been filed, but it was on hold pending responses by the developer to staff comments. There were approximately 149 staff comments. Mayor Tayor appreciated and thanked the residents for coming to the meeting and relating the background and history for the benefit of the new Commissioners. Mayor Taylor commented he did feel there may have been an error in judgment when the vote was originally taken. As Mayor at that time he accepted full responsibility for the decision. He would work to correct the problem. Commissioner Hay commended the residents on their organization and presentation. No one else coming forward, Mayor Taylor closed public audience. 5.

PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. 13 -024 - Authorize the City Manager to apply for and execute agreements and documents associated with the Urban and Community Forestry grant on behalf of the City of Boynton Beach. Commissioner Segal had pulled this item for discussion since it was a positive for the City and asked for further information for the benefit of the public. Glenda Hall, Manager of Forestry and Grounds, explained the Galaxy Scrub area is now a total of ten acres and a grant was sought to open up the south end to build raised 9 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL March 19, 2013 planter beds where the school children from Galaxy Elementary could grow native plants. The area is overgrown with exotics. There are gopher tortoises and scrub jays living in the area. The grant is to replant the area, bring it back to a positive scrub and become a learning area.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO. 13 -005 - FIRST READING - Approve Manatee Seaview Apartments (LUAR 13 -001) reclassifying subject property from High Density Residential (HDR) to Special High Density Residential (SHDR); and Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 13 -005 by title only on first reading. Ed Breese, Principal Planner asked to combine the presentations on both proposed changes with separate motions. Mayor Taylor agreed. Mr. Breese explained the request of Olen Development Corporation was to add 0.71 acres from their Manatee Bay development to the north of the previous Seaview Park 12 March 19, 2013 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL Club, and reclassify the entire 4.51 acres to Special High Density Residential. It would rezone the entire site to Infill Planned Unit with a new Master Plan to construct 88 multi- family residential dwelling units. The Seaview Park Club was originally approved for 69 dwelling units and had most of the infrastructure installed on the site. The project was halted and Olen Development purchased the property. The proposed change would unite the two parcels to create one unified community. The New Site Plan application would be presented at the next meeting in conjunction with the second reading of the Land Use and Rezoning Ordinances. The applicant met with the neighbors and the INCA Homeowners Association to solicit their input prior to formal submission to the City. The only public comments received at the Planning and Development Board hearing were in favor of the request. Staff did an analysis of the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use map and Rezoning relative to consistency, sustainability, compatibility and economic benefit. The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies promoting an affordable mix of housing types and consistent with the established Land Use patterns of the area. It will further the goals of the Community Redevelopment Agency and the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan. Approval of the request was recommended by staff. An email was received from Jonathan Keith, President of the INCA Homeowners Association that Mr. Breese read into the record as follows: "Olen Properties made a presentation to INCA in February regarding their expansion into the Seaview property. Olen also met on several occasions with INCA residents directly abutting the subject property and worked with those residents to formulate a site plan that we believe adequately and properly mitigates building separation, building height, landscaping buffers and appealing architecture. Based upon Olen's representations and willingness to work with our residents, INCA offered our public support at the February Planning and Development Board meeting. Unfortunately, as president of INCA, I will not be able to attend tonight's Commission meeting to put on record that INCA continues to support the project; however, please allow this correspondence to serve as INCA's support of the project." Motion Commissioner Hay moved to approve. Commissioner Segal seconded the motion. Mayor Taylor questioned the height of the building. Mr. Breese replied the building closest to Federal Highway is three stories, approximately 35 feet. The three other buildings going toward the water are all two -story, approximately 28 feet. It has been reviewed by the INCA group. Mr. Breese added the previous proposed project was a mix of three -story type buildings all the way down to the water with a step down terrace effect. INCA felt the new proposal was superior to the previous project. 13 March 19, 2013 Meeting Minutes Regular City Commission Boynton Beach, FL Vote City Clerk Prainito called the roll.

Motion 14 March 19, 2013 PROPOSED ORDINANCE NO 13 -006 - FIRST READING - Approve Manatee Seaview Apartments request for rezoning from Multi - Family Residential (R -3) and Infill Planned Unit District (IPUD) to a single Infill Planned Unit District (IPUD) consisting of a new master plan with 88 multi - family rental units. Applicant: Alfred LaFave with Olen Development Corporation. Attorney Cherof read Proposed Ordinance No. 13 -006 by title only, on first reading. Motion Commissioner Hay moved to approve. Commissioner Merker seconded the motion. Commissioner Fitzpatrick related he had two concerns with land use changes. First, he would support the project because it was in the final phases. He remarked it used to be that when new residential units were proposed, 6 acres per 1,000 residents had to be set aside. It may not apply now, but he felt the City should make the effort to fulfill the obligation. He planned to work on that aspect. Secondly, he recalled staff was put at a disadvantage because many developers would play chicken with the staff and refuse to accept staff recommendations until it came before the Commission. If it came up in the future, in writing bcfore the Commiccion any verbal agreements made between the City Commission and developers could be properly written out by staff before being voted on by the city Commission. C. PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. R13 -027 - FIRST READING - Amending and re- designating Brownfield areas all within the boundaries of the Boynton beach Community Redevelopment Area. Attorney Cherof explained the request involved two parcels. One is from the CRA Executive Director for the property located at 222 South Federal Highway and the second is from the City Manager relating to the Old High School site.
