CITY MANAGER'S REPORT: Acceptance of The City of Boynton Beach Shared Parking Analysis for the Downtown Area - Presentation by Mike Rumpf, Planning & Zoning Director (PROPOSED RE$OLU'r~oN NO. R00-71) 7 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 As the Shared Parking Study was being prepared for presentation, City Manager Kurt Bressner gave an update on the Gateway Boulevard Road Project. Mr. Bressner stated that he received a report from the Department of Engineering last week, indicating that the project's estimated completion date would now be October 5, 2000. The project is approximately 51% complete but 89% of the project time allocation has passed. The reason for that is that the contractor started late and is rapidly approaching the penalty phase and the City will be evaluating the performance of the contractor, the length of the punch list, and making a determination as to what steps, if any, need to be taken. Mr. Bressner apologized to the residents for the inconveniences they had experienced during this project and advised that City staff had informed the contractor to "pick up the pace" to avoid further inconvenience. The City will continue efforts to improve the October 5, 2000 completion date. Mr. Bressner introduced the topic of the Shared Parking Analysis for the Downtown Area, which was being presented in final form. for the Commission's review and acceptance in the form of placing it on file. He stated that the report inventories public and private parking spaces in the downtown parking area and also begins to make recommendations as to how future parking demands can be met. There are a number of strategies listed ranging from working out cross-easements for shared parking to possibly constructing a parking structure somewhere in the downtown area. Mr. Bressner's personal observation was that until such time as sufficient intensity of activity in the downtown area was reached, it would be premature to talk about a parking structure. He saw the focus as looking into what is available in public areas as well as working out cooperative cross-easements for shared parking facilities to best maximize the use of available parking in the downtown area. Mr. Mike Rumpf, Planning & Zoning Director, took the podium and thanked Mr. Bressner for the overview he had given of the Shared Parking Analysis. Mr. Rumpf reported that the City had executed a contract for this project in March of 1999 with McMahon Associates, Thc., a local traffic-consulting firm. The final report was submitted to the City in March of 2000 and it represented an expanded parking analysis, which began as part of the Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Plan. Mr. Rumpf reiterated the characteristics of the study, its findings and methodologies and explored its recommendations in depth. A consensus was arrived at by the Commission to allow the Planning and Zoning Division to proceed with its plans to review the City parking code, initiate a monitoring program, and reconsider its parking strategies and procedures, using the Shared Parking Analysis report recommendations as a guide. Youth Advocate/Officer of the Year Award, Officer Bill Tome Mr. Bressner then spoke about youth athletics as being a path to teamwork, responsibility and adulthood and he wanted to recognize a police officer for the work he had done in the community to foster such activities. Mr. Bressner invited Chief Marshall Gage to the podium to describe an award that had been given to Officer Bill Tome 8 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 recently. Mr. Bressner invited Officer Tome to the podium to recognize him for the fine work he had done for the youth of the community. Chief Gage said that they had long known that Officer Tome was a special individual and had often proclaimed that but that public acclaim had been absent until a week before at the Police Officer's Ball, where Officer Tome was given an County-wide award as the Child Advocate/Officer of the Year, in recognition of his many years of service to the youth of the community. Chief Gage stated that there were very few young people growing up in the City who had not been touched by Officer Tome and that he was richly deserving of the award and the public recognition. Chief Gage further stated that the Police Department was extremely proud of his selection for this award. Officer Bill Tome accepted the acclaim on behalf of the Boynton Beach P.A.L., its Board of Directors, and the hundreds of volunteers who help to organize and run the programs during the year. He thanked Chief Gage, the City Commission, the Mayor, and the City Manager for their total commitment and support. Officer Tome said that P.A.L. had been in existence for over eight years and when they first started they had a baseball team with 20 youth and now they have five sports, and programs which involve over 600 youth a year. He expressed pride at serving on the police force of the City and thanked everyone again for the recognition and support. Mayor Broening stated that he had the honor and pleasure of sitting with Officer Tome and his wife at the Policeman's Ball and wanted to say that the Tomes were wonderful assets to the community of Boynton Beach and thanked Officer Tome for his time, effort, and talents. Vt'. PUBLZC AUDTENCE: Scott McClary, 700 Casa Loma Boulevard, spoke as a principal of two businesses in the waterfront area, Dive Shop I]: and Dive Shop International. He stated the businesses were suffering because of a lack of ability to plan due to a lack of information from the City. He spoke ora June 6 agenda item and he recommended that "the kimono be opened". He had heard rumors of closing Casa Loma 8oulevard, a hotel in the marina, one development from Woolbright to Paradise Bay, and the City buying Paradise Bay. All of these things affect the businesses in the marina area as well as the City of Boynton Beach. He suggested that the topic be broken into three distinct phases: 1) the City tells them, 2) they think about it so they can come back and sham their vision of what they've been told, and 3) make a decision. "We are dying - we are going out of business." Anne Centi, :1.3C Southport Lane, said that only 40% of the 100 people on the Free Lunch program were using it and she asked that their slots be given to the people on the waiting list. She also referred to the bus charging $5.00 per week for transportation to the Senior Center and asked that the month of July be set aside for free transportation to and from the Senior Center. 9 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 Sarah Lorenz, 2508 N.W. 21st St., #29, requested straight answers regarding the opening of her tattoo parlor. Henrietta Solomon, 230 N.E. 26 Avenue, spoke about a newspaper article, which mentioned a potential special taxing district for Village Royale on the Green, stating that they did not pay property taxes. She stated that a large number of the residents of Village Royale on the Green are snowbirds and have not taken out Florida residency and do pay taxes. She said their assessments had gotten to such a Iow point that they do not pay taxes. She spoke of their pride in the City and the contributions they make to the City such as donations, volunteering, and patronizing the local shops and restaurants. Ms. Solomon stated that perhaps the City's lack of ability to attract revenue- building industries might be part of the problem. Her last point was that Village Royale on the Green holds up the integrity of north Boynton. If Village Royale on the Green were to deteriorate, it would be like a cancer and spread right down to the City's center. Ms. Solomon thought the City should "put its thinking cap on" and "be more realistic in direction to pursue more money". Bill Schmalz, :1727 S.W. 18th Street, referred to careless driving by people talking on cellphones and driving. He quoted statistics from countries and states where it is banned and requested it to be banned in the City of Boynton Beach to make it safer for everyone. Terry Pereira, 161 N.E. 19th Avenue, spoke about the lack of a traffic light on Seacrest in front of Ezell Hester Center between 17~ & :[9th Avenues and the incidence of accidents and fatalities in the area. Hr. Pereira asked that a traffic light be installed at that location. Bob Ensler, 26 Woods Lane, referred to the quality of architecture design for the City and mentioned that the City Manager had an approach for design quality standards which he would like to see presented to the City Commission for their consideration, Mr. Ensler spoke of the need to upgrade the City's aesthetic standards for new construction and demand adherence to them, VZZ. PUBLTC HEARTNG: Reconsideration of Kingdom Hall of .lehovah's Witness Conditional Use Approval Motion Vice Mayor Weiland made a motion to reconsider the conditional use approval for the Kingdom Hall of .Jehovah's Witnesses. Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0. 10 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH. FLORIDA May 16. 2000 Vice Mayor Weiland referred back to the May 2 Commission meeting and the Jehovah's Witnesses Kingdom Hall being approved for an asphalt shingle roof, saying it was his firm belief, after looking at the area, that there were buildings in that area that already had the barrel/Spanish style tile roofs on them: Benvenuto's, Manatee Bay and Yachtsman's Plaza, which are all right in the vicinity of this particular building. Vice Mayor Weiland thought it would greatly enhance that area if the Commission required the applicant to maintain that standard as far as the tile roof or barrel tile roof was concerned. Vice Mayor Weiland urged the Commission to consider his view. He believed the Commission would be holding up a higher standard and improving the area. Commissioner Fisher stated that he tended to agree with that and said that at this point the Commission had the opportunity to set the standards for that area a little higher than they had been set previously. Commissioner Fisher stated that since the entire corridor area was going to be redone, it would be a shame to miss an opportunity to make this the standard by which al! others would need to abide. Upgrading it to a barrel tile roof would make a night and day difference to that area. Commissioner Fisher believed that in the future, the Commission should make the rest of the new facilities adhere to the same type of standards throughout that corridor and if it did not, the Commission would be looking at "grandfathering" in and having this conversation two or three years from now as more buildings came into the area. Commissioner Black was perturbed that the Commission was revisiting this item. He stated that the Commission had put the applicant through all the hoops and voted one way and because the applicant did not get a permit before it was reconsidered, he believed it sent out the wrong message, that it is no longer final when the Commission votes on something - that it is a race to the permitting department the next morning to see who gets there first. He did not believe that the Commission needed to do that. They had a public discussion and when the applicant left here and possibly said to his congregation that the Commission voted okay and then to find out a couple of days later that the Commission changed its mind was not a good thing and he disagreed with that way of conducting business. Commissioner Black said that because the building was 350 feet off the highway, the applicant reviewed his budget and decided that in lieu of the barrel tile roof that they were going to put those extra dollars in the landscaping. Commissioner Black expressed a liking for barrel tile roofs and that they would be a lot nicer than asphalt shingles but a barrel tile roof with no plants around it would not be good either. Commissioner Black referred to the Commission's plans to look at strengthening the landscaping code and thought it would be more pleasing to the eye to have nice landscaping than a barrel tile roof, especially in light of the City's present-day, skimpy, code requirements for landscaping. He said he would like to see if the Commission could talk to the applicant and see if he would be willing to step up to the new proposed landscaping codes. Mayor Pro Tern Sherman stated that he wished to hear from the applicant as he had read that the landscaping costs were going to be $50,000 and he wanted this issue 11 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 clarified by the applicant. He wanted to evaluate what a roof difference in cost would be and weigh it against a compromise in the landscaping. Vice IVlayor Weiland expressed his opinion on Commissioner Black's comment about the applicant leaving thinking he had a conditional use approval. Vice Mayor Weiland clearly stated that he was voting in favor of that Tuesday, May 2, only to be on the prevailing side to reconsider at the next meeting, so he should have left that meeting knowing that it was approved but that it was going to be reconsidered at the next meeting. Mayor Broening confirmed this as being accurate and asked to hear from Mr. Montantes. I~lr. I~lark I~lontantes took the podium and was sworn in by City Attorney Cherof. Mayor Broening asked Mr. Montantes if he wished to read a statement or if he wanted the Commission to ask him questions. Mr. Montantes had a comment about the landscaping issue. He said that the $50,000 for landscaping was supposed to be $i5,0o0. Commissioner Fisher said to Mr. Montantes that when IVlr. Montantes had spoken to his architect about the barrel tile roof, it was Commissioner Fishers understanding that they would be willing to put on the barrel tile roof to enhance the building even more. IVlr. Montantes replied that they said they would consider it, not that they would do it, as they were concerned about the estimated cost of the project. They wanted to use the funds originally slated for the barrel tile roof for other things. He stated that if it came down to not having a choice in the matter, they would have to do it. He expressed a desire to work with the community and to beautify the community with their building. Mr. Montantes asked to share a few points with the Commission. He said that he appreciated the work the Commission and the Planning and Zoning Board were doing to develop the community and make it beautiful. Mr. IVlontantes said that it was not their intention to "fight" the City in any way but just to use their funds in the best way possible. As a Project Manager and a Minister he was also trying to develop the community from a building and a "people" perspective. Mr. Montantes continued, saying that at the 5/2 meeting the vote was 4-1, so they thought that the project was all right. Commissioner Weiland said that he voted yes only to be on the prevailing side only so he could reconsider it. If he had not been on the prevailing side, he would not be able to bring it up again. Mr. Montantes said that the message they got and relayed to the congregation was that it was approved. We had no idea that there was really a question on it. We did not know it was something we had to "dig into" to try to find out about but if they had known, the plans would have been in there the next morning! He went on to say that on the past Friday he had gotten a call from a reporter on the Post who mentioned this and it took Mr. IVlontantes off guard. He also got a call from one of the representatives at the City who told him to be here ,at this meeting because they were reconsidering his issue. 12 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 One point that was mentioned was that the church had frontage property on Federal Highway. They took some snapshots and the existing structure on the north end of the property can be seen from Federal Highway. As you move along, the existing building goes out of view due to the landscaping. However, from the new location, which would be on the south end of the property, the building can no longer be seen and if a person is driving along and looking straight across, they will not see the building. This is because of the existing landscaping and also the proposed landscaping. They are putting up a line of trees that, in five to ten years, will be 15-20 feet high and the building will not be visible at all. In considering also the code requirements Mr. Montantes read briefly from the City Staff recommendations, saying that one of staffs points was general compatibility with adjacent property and other property in the zoning district. One of their comments was "The proposed facility is compatible visually and by use with the adjacent neighborhood. The scale and architecture of the proposed facilities is compatible with the surrounding one-story structures. The church is minimally in use during the week and the intensity of the use will remain." City staff's recommendation was that: "Based, in part, on the need for this new facility as represented by the efforts of the current petitioners, compliance with development regulations, and the consistency with the Comprehensive Plan which allows such uses within this land use classification contingent upon compatibility with neighborhood character, staff recommends that this request be recommended for approval conditioned upon satisfying all conditions of approval as contained in Exhibit"C"." So, they recommended it. Mr. Montantes went on to say that they were also concerned about other Code considerations, one of them being Chapter 9 of the Code, Community Design Plan. Within that Code it mentions this particular point. "The purpose of this chapter is to promote harmony with nature and a pleasant and comprehensible cohesiveness among development within the City of Boynton Beach." That is exactly what the church was trying to do according to Mr. Montantes. Because they had frontage property on Fourth Street and the building will not be visible from Federal Highway, they were trying to develop the property in such a way that from Fourth Street it will fit within the community itself. The building the applicants had there had been there for 30 years and it fits within the community. The applicants believed from discussions with staff that they were in compliance and they wondered what portion of the Code was not being met. Concerning the recommendation to put a tile roof on the building, the applicants did not see the necessity of it because they did not feel it was required. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman asked if the applicants had done a cost estimate of a barrel tile roof versus the asphalt shingle one? Mr. Montantes said yes and Mayor Pro Tem Sherman asked Mr. Montantes to share that information with the Commission. Mr. Montantes invited the architect, AIdo Paredes, to the podium to answer questions on this point. 13 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 Mr. Aldo Paredes, 345 S.W. 13th Avenue, took the podium and stated that they had looked at alternates for the roof and their first choice was not asphalt shingles. They were leaning towards fiat concrete tiles, painted in white or grey or even a color that would complement the rest of the building's design. They never looked at barrel tiles. The asphalt shingles in terms of the roofing structure was in the neighborhood of $7- 8,000 with only about a 5 or 7 year warranty. Obviously that cut our costs dramatically compared with fiat concrete tile which was in the neighborhood of about $15,000 to $20,000. There would be a greater warranty with the concrete tiles and the aesthetics would be much better but there is some consideration of the funding. Tn terms of the exterior aesthetics of the building but also looking at the interior where this building will be used, they figured that asphalt shingles would be a good compromise. They wanted to stay within the Code and within their budget at the same time. iVlayor Pre Tem Sherman asked to see the newspaper article Mr. Montantes had referred to and it was brought to him for his perusal. Commissioner Fisher asked for a ballpark estimate on the warranty of the concrete tile roof?. Hr. Paredes said it varied, that one could get up to 20 years. Commissioner Fisher asked if after five to seven years on the asphalt shingle roof it would have to be replaced? Applicant said yes. So, you will spend $8,000 to put on an asphalt shingle roof and then in five years, at an inflated cost, you will have to spend it again. You will keep this cycle going every five to seven years as opposed to getting an upgraded one now and spending, theoretically, less. Mr. Paredes said that warranty did not necessarily mean replacement. Warranty means that the manufacturer warrants the asphalt shingles so if there were any damage due to the material they would have to replace the material. That does not necessarily mean that the life cycle of the asphalt shingle would have to be dictating that it be replaced within five years. There are a lot of asphalt shingle roofs in this City and some of them are ten and even fifteen years old. For us to analyze in terms of funding whether we can do this project now and being able to compromise in terms of the materials we could use and then perhaps project five, seven or maybe even ten years down the read being able to replace with some other material then yes, we would do that to be able to accomplish this project. T would rather have this compromise than the project not coming to fruition at all. IVlr. Paredes wanted to bring up two issues and he referred to the newspaper article given to Mayor Pro Tem Sherman. The first issue was that he wanted to make sure everyone understood that while his group applauded the efforts to beautify the Federal Highway corridor, they believed that their building had very little influence on that corridor. The second issue was that as they looked at the neighborhood they observed that 85% of the development had asphalt shingles. He spoke of one piece of property between their building and Federal Highway that was yet to be developed and he believed it would be a Head Start or another church and that this would be the only building they would be able to influence with the concrete tiles versus asphalt shingles. He asked if the Commission wanted to make a precedent over one building? They 14 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 believed they were doing a greater job in influencing the neighborhood with their landscaping than over the type of roof. Vice Mayor Weiland stated that while there was now only one building between the applicant's building and Federal Highway, eventually the whole thing would be tied in together in the next few years and that was why he wanted to see a higher standard at this point so it could be continued in future developments. He said that he concurred with Commissioner Fisher 100% and wanted to state that this is the direction the City is headed. He alsO said that in the very near future there would be a higher landscaping Code which developers would be asked to meet. He did not want to step backwards and concurred with Mr. Ensler on architectural design standards. We are going to be taking one step forwards with the new landscaping requirements and we would be taking one step backwards in this situation with aesthetics and that did not make a lot of sense to Vice Mayor Weiland. Mr. Paredes said that he did not see the building as it was proposed being detrimental to the neighborhood at all. Vice Mayor Weiland said that he did not say it was a detriment but that the barrel or Spanish tile roof versus the asphalt shingle was the issue and that it would eventually all tie together. Mr. Paredes reiterated the applicant's belief that their building had very little influence on the Federal Highway corridor. He said the most impact was on the neighborhood to the immediate west. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman read the newspaper article which said, "Mark Montantes, the Congregation's representative, could not be reached Friday but on May 2 he told the Commissioners the more expensive tile roof was rejected in favor of a security system and more than $50,000 in landscaping". Mayor Pro Tem Sherman said there was a quite a difference in $50,000 and $15,000. Mayor Broening commended the Commissioners for their efforts to provide upgrading for this project and for projects in general; however, he did not believe that this was the way to get this accomplished. Mayor Broening said that he lived nearby the proposed building and uses 14th Street and comes across that way several times a week and that the existing facility, while not a model of architectural excellence for a landmark of any kind for our city, is clean, respectable, well-maintained and in a neighborhood that is essentially blighted with the exception of a number of properties that are like the Kingdom Hall. The very next home to the south on the same side of the street is a home which, since I've been in Boynton Beach for the last eight years, has had for a roof a blue tarpaulin. I think the tarpaulin has worn out too. I have asked several times but cannot recall the status but it is a house that is in desperate need of something. I see this new Kingdom Hall going in there as being a wonderful advantage to that community and to this City. You can't see it from Federal Highway unless you are making an effort to see it and I believe that over the next several years you won't see it because of potential buildings in the area. Mayor Broening did not see a problem with asphalt shingles, saying that they were extremely prevalent in the area and that they were respectable, decent roofs. He said that every house could not be a Mizner for 15 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 budgetary and location reasons. Mayor Broening did not believe that this project deserved this attention. He personally thought it was a vast improvement to the existing structure and a vast improvement and example for the neighborhood. Mayor Broening called for a motion to approve this project as presented. Motion Commissioner Black made a motion to approve the project as presented. Mayor Broening seconded the motion and asked for a roll call vote. City Clerk Sue Kruse called the roll, after which the motion failed 2-3 (Vice Mayor Weiland, Mayor Pro Tem Sherman and Commissioner Fisher dissenting). Mayor Broening said he could move to table the item. Commissioner Fisher then asked Mr. Montantes and Mr. Paredes if the project were tabled until the .lune 6 meeting if it would slow them up dramatically? Mr. Montantes said they were hoping to get started with permits in June. Mr. Bressner said that he was assuming that the roof structure would change in terms of the type of roofing material used. How far into the process is the fail-safe date you would need? He said, "Let's assume that in two weeks the City Commission opts to request that you put in a tile roof or concrete shingle roof. When you set your foundation that will not be affected but at what date in the construction do you need a decision as to the roofing material so as not to lose any time? T am trying to buy you time and perhaps give you an interim permit until this matter is resolved so you don't lose any construction time to get it done". Mr. Paredes stated his impact would come in when he released the roofing or the pre- engineering truss manufacturing company to design the trusses for the building. So they would have to have that information in order to be able to have the connections, uplifts and so on. Mr. Bressner said, "Assuming you got a building permit for the project next Monday, how soon after that do you estimate that you would need to get that information to the various outside parties to have those drawings prepared?" Mr. Paredes said that theoretically, if they were to have a building permit on Monday, that would probably allow him about :[5 - 20 days before he had to release the engineer for him to be able to engineer the trusses, prepare drawings and submit those for a permit himself for the City for review and then, once it had been approved, he could commence manufacturing. Mr. Bressner said that he had been attempting to determine whether an interim permit would be of assistance to the petitioner to move forward and it sounded as if the best that could be achieved would be five days and that does not sound like it would be a significant benefit to the petitioner. He said that he was sorry and that he had tried. Mr. Paredes said that they had considered the issue from every angle since Vice Mayor Weiland's comments at the last meeting and had looked at alternative pricing. They were willing to go ahead and make adjustments and even incur the added financial burden to be able to put on fiat concrete tiles. They would like the assistance of the 16 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 City in terms of inspections. They would like to commence and culminate the project very quickly. A lot of times inspections take a little bit of getting going. They propoSed they would incur the added cost burden for the concrete tiles, go ahead with construction, approve it as such and have the backing of the Commissioners and the City and be able to get inspections within about a 24-hour turnaround including weekends. He stated that if the City could help them in that direction all of them were in agreement that they could go ahead and move forward. City Attorney Cherof said that the Commission could not do that. He said that the petitioners could express an interest and some direction to the City Manager and the administration on handling inspections but you cannot do anything officially to direct the Building Department to conduct its inspections. Vice Mayor Weiland wished to state that the Commission needed to decide what type of roof at this point will be put up there because while T personally think concrete tile would be a definite upgrade from the asphalt shingles, it does not concur with what is in the area now, which is a barrel tile. He preferred to see red barrel tile roof. Mr. Paredes stated that there was no red barrel tile in the neighborhood at this time. He believed that everyone had concurred that their building would have very little influence on the Federal Highway corridor and that they were willing to upgrade to the concrete tiles. Motion Commissioner Fisher moved that the Commission approve this with the understanding there will be a barrel tile roof on this facility. Vice Mayor Weiland seconded the motion. City Attorney Cherof said that it was a public hearing since it was reconsidered and Mayor Broening noted that there was still one person who wished to speak. Dee Zibelli, 440 Ocean Parkway, took the podium and stated that she was concerned about the barrel or concrete tile roofs and remembered that when the Casablanca Apartments were being built and the issue of the roof material came up, they were made to put on a barrel tile roof. This was not in the corridor but that made one great big difference in Boynton Beach Boulevard and so T would say that, please, upgrade it. T hate to keep going downwards. She said she had a cement tile roof which is kept well-painted and that it was better in hurricanes as well. Lee Wische, :L302 S.W. :L8th Street, took the podium and said these were two distinct, different cases. When Casablanca came in their Site Plans showed barrel tile roofs. When they came before the Commission, they claimed a hardship. As you should know you can't claim a hardship because of monetary value. They wanted to put in asphalt tile and the Commission did not go for it. They threatened to sue the City for making them put on the barrel tile roof and in the end, they put up the barrel tile roof and did not sue the City. Mr. Wische stated he believed the Commission was going way overboard and that the applicants were willing to cooperate by putting cement block. 17 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 He said Leisureville had barrel tile and cement block all along Boynton Beach Boulevard. They have asphalt shingles, barrel tile and cement block. The applicant is being asked for too much and Mr. Wische believed the Commission was way out of line. Mayor Pro Tern Sherman said that he wanted to leave on a positive thought, saying that the asphalt shingle roof had a life of 7 years and a tile roof be it the fiat or the barrel, has around a 20-25 year life so that it would not be money wasted. He knew that they had to come up with the funds to put it on but the useful life should in some way pay you back in full no matter what was decided at this meeting. Commissioner Black stated that Mayor Pro Tem Sherman was wrong. He stated that it was a warranty on manufacturer's defects and had nothing to do with the life expectancy of the roof. Commissioner Black said that he had paid $18,000 for an asphalt shingle roof and had a 25-year warranty. That is just on the product. It does not mean that if it leaks in five or ten years ! get a new roof. The life expectancy is very long. We would be wrong to think that it is only going to last seven or eight years. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman stated that he had been going by what the applicants had stated, not being well versed in the area. Mayor Broening requested a roll call vote. The motion carried 3-2 (Mayor Broening and Commissioner Black dissenting). VIII.

Commissioner Black seconded the motion that carried 5-0. C. Appointment of CRA Members (Two members to be appointed) Mayor Broening stated that at the last meeting there was a process by which each member of the Commission would individually vote on a list of 14 candidates and pass them over to the City Manager and Attorney who would then do the ranking and out of that process we would come up with a couple of names. Vice Mayor Weiland moved to take a five minute recess at 8:15 p.m. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman seconded the motion that carried 5-0. THE MEETING WAS RECONVENED BY MAYOR BROENZNG AT 8:35 P.M. Mayor Broening stated that Item 10C would be postponed for a few minutes due to technical difficulties. Mayor Broening moved on to item 1OD. Approve the application of Thomas Souza for City sponsorship of his project known as My Emotions for the Round IV Development Regions Core Grant program Motion Vice Mayor Weiland made a motion to table this matter until the June 6 meeting and before he stated why he wanted to ask if the applicant was present at the meeting. It 19 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 appeared that Mr. Souza was not present. He stated that due to some wording in the back-up he had some concerns that the City Manager was not able to answer. Mr. Dale Sugerman was on vacation. Since his concerns could not be addressed at this time he asked that it be tabled until the June 6 meeting pending clarification. Commissioner Fisher asked if it were tabled until the next meeting would the applicant lose it? Mr. Bressner stated that as long as Mr. Sugerman was able to file on the day following the Commission meeting, they would still meet the deadline, Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion to table this item until the June 6 meeting.

C, Resolutions: None D. Other: 1. Ratification of Code Compliance Board action: Reduce the fine in Code Compliance Case #97-3700 (609 N. Federal Highway) to the administrative costs of $634.12. The total fine before reduction was $1,775 plus the aforementioned administrative costs. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Sherman moved to approve Code Compliance Case #97-3700. Commissioner Black seconded the motion that carried 5-0. Reduce the fine in Code Compliance Case #98-4057 (2622 NE 3rd Street) to $500 plus administrative costs of $634.12. The total fine before reduction was $10,550 plus the aforementioned administrative costs. Vice Mayor Weiland asked Mr. Scott Blasie, Code Compliance Administrator, to read the backup on this case. Tt seemed to Vice Mayor Weiland that the owner of the property had been negligent as to knowing the fines were being levied against the property and relied on the tenant to forward his mail. This was the owner's responsibility as a businessperson. As far as receiving his mail, if he had it forwarded he would have had this information and would have known how to respond to it. He even relied on his tenant to forward his tax bill. Vice Mayor Weiland did not understand why the policies were in place without "teeth" to enforce them. Mr. Blasie replied that was a good observation but he believed it applied to the next item on the agenda, item C, #98- 2032. Vice Mayor Weiland apologized, saying that he was one ahead of the agenda and that all of his comments applied to the next case, item C, #98-2032. Mr. Blasie said that the case in question, #98-4057, had to do with refinancing problems. 22 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 Motion Commissioner Black made a motion to approve case #98-4057. Vice Mayor Weiland seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0. Cm Reduce the fine in Code Compliance Case #98-2032 (3617 SE 2® Court) to $500 plus administrative costs of $634.12. The total fine before reduction was $13,275 plus the aforementioned administrative costs. Mayor Broening said that this case had given him some concern also. Mayor Broening felt that for the applicant not to know "because his tenants didn't tell him" was bad business. The question remains, when property is in compliance, are we in the punitive mode or in the compliance mode? Motion Commissioner Black moved to approve case #98-2032. There was no second to the motion. Motion failed for lack of a second. Motion Vice Mayor Weiland made a motion to deny case #98-2032. Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion. The motion to deny carried 3-2 with Mayor Broening and Commissioner Black dissenting. Rescind the fine in Code Compliance Case #98- 3158 (409 NW 9th Avenue). The original fine in this case is $10,650 plus $730.15 in administrative costs. Mayor Broening questioned Mr. Blasie about the difference between the usual $634.12 in administrative costs versus the $730.15 in this case and Mr. Blasie replied that the difference was due to inspections. Vice Mayor Weiland said that this was similar to the case they had just considered as far as the applicant working with the City, completing an application, turning an application in a month after the fines had started accruing and another two months went by before a complete application came in. ! do realize the property is in compliance but his unwillingness to work with the City before it got to this point is at issue here. Naturally when the fines started accruing, action was taken. Vice Mayor Weiland said this went back to last year when the Commission talked about having some teeth. He said that the Code Enforcement work goes unnoticed for the most part and no matter how much work they do, once the applicants accrue a very large fine then they realize they have to "get with the program". He said that the City would be taking the teeth out of the program if they rescinded the fine. ~[n the long run the City is looking for getting the property in compliance and it affects values in the neighborhood and throughout the 23 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 City. Instead of backing these fines down to the minimum I think we need to back it down some but not to the extent that we are doing. Mr. Blasie said that was a good point. He wanted to remind the Commission that they did not have to deny the recommendation altogether, they could change the figure. Commissioner Black said to Mr. Blasie that over the past several years the Commission felt they wanted to bring people into compliance and he believed the system of doing it was so out of kilter as to be unbelievable. The word has been sent out for years that it does not matter what paperwork your office generates, it could go to $42,000,000. The fine is going to be $634.12 so there is no reason for anybody to comply, whether it is forwarding mail or you talking directly to them. Our system is broken. It does not work and it has to be adjusted somehow. Commissioner Black said everyone could be doing something else as the current system was a waste of time. He said that they were running around in circles for $634.12 and he believed another way of doing it was in order. He thought the Commission should begin fining people as a precedent perhaps and that the present system was ludicrous. Mr. Blasie said that he did not have any ideas to offer at the present time. Mayor Broening, stated that his observation of Octavia Sherrod's name in it made him suspect the Commission was working with someone with a very Iow economic circumstance. Mayor Broening was concerned about the lack of communication. Whether gratuitous or not, Ms. Ousley said the City never gave her any assistance. I have the recommendation of the Board and your department (speaking to Mr. Blasie). IVlr. Blasie said that the Board and Staff had recommended rescinding the fine altogether based on Ms. Ousley's testimony that she had submitted paperwork to the Community Redevelopment Department and it was the City that held her up. Instead of just stalling the process, staff was directed to move it forward to the Commission and in the interim, research and find out when the paperwork was submitted. We found that it was submitted a month after the Board's deadline was set and the fine had begun accruing. The other issue that you touched on was the financial status of the applicant and there was some testimony at the Code Compliance Board from Ms. Debbie Albert who was representing the lending institution that is trying to help her keep her house. She is here tonight. Mayor Broening invited Ms. Debbie Albert, representing Ms. Ousley, to the podium. Mayor Broening asked what the effect would be of a fine of $12,000 on this home? Ms. Debbie Albert took the podium and stated she had been working with Ms. Ousley to help her keep her house out of foreclosure. Mayor Broening asked if she were a volunteer and she replied that she was trustee for Ms. Ousley, having Power of Attorney, to help her work through this matter. Ms. Ousley had given a check for $4,900 to a Contractor who failed to perform the promised improvements to her house. This delayed things. She said IVls. Ousley was a lovely lady and that things had "gotten away from her", having no idea that this fine was accruing. She is in no financial situation to pay a fine. Ms. Albert hoped that the Commission would consider all alternatives to avoid the application of a large fine. 24 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 Vice Mayor Weiland thought it went back to Commissioner Black's statement that the system is "broken" and perhaps in a lot of these cases more documentation needed to be done. The City has spoken to the applicant, they signed a letter and returned a receipt for the mail, so they cannot state they did not know what was happening. This seems to happen over and over again. We realize that in nine cases out of ten the people are financially strapped. They can't afford to fix the house #1 and #2, they can't pay the $10,000 fine that may be owed. Ms. Albert said she did believe that Ms. Ousley took steps in good faith to fix her property up and she got "scammed". She wants to help her go after the Contractor as well but that will take time. Meanwhile he took off with a good chunk of her money, which meant a lot to her. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman asked if she had taken out a home equity loan and Ms. Albert replied yes. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman asked if there were documentation to that effect pertaining to the home equity loan. Ms. Albert said she had some in her briefcase. She had checks showing amounts that were given to her in increments to help her pay off bills and one that was given to the contractor. Ms. Albert said she had presented a copy of the check to the Code Board previously and that it was a cashed check. Commissioner Fisher asked Mr. Blasie if he recalled seeing the check. Mr. Blasie did not recall it. Ms. Albert said she had a copy in her car in her briefcase. Mayor Pro Tern Sherman said he would take her word for it. Commissioner Fisher said he totally agreed that the Code Department needed to be given more teeth in enforcing the policies but he wasn't too sure that this was the case they should start with, considering the circumstances presented and the background. Mayor Broening agreed except in those cases where there have been chronic violators. The Code Department, the Code Compliance Board and the Commission have been very tough on them and there was a $30,000 fine passed out fairly recently and it blew the speculator's plans away. Mayor Broening did not feel it was a matter of being soft but a consideration of the intent. Tf the intent is compliance and they come into compliance and stay in compliance and are not repeat offenders, they are inclined for first-timers to do the administrative thing. He was NOT in favor of the chronic violators who affect the quality of life for their neighbors and flaunt the City's codes. Motion Vice Mayor Weiland made a motion to approve the Code Compliance Board's recommendation to rescind the fine in Code Compliance Case #98-3158. Commissioner Black seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0. XII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Consideration of Developer's Proposal regarding Manatee Bay 25 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 Attorney Cherof directed the Commissioner's attention to a letter from David Norris, attorney for the Manatee Bay developer, that contained a counter-offer to what the Commission had proposed earlier to resolve the dispute over the recreation fee. They included in the memorandum the motion that was made by Vice Mayor Weiland, which was approved. Vice Mayor Weiland said that in reading the backup the agreement was still a good agreement to reach with Manatee Bay regardless of the recommendation he gave at a prior meeting. This puts money in our coffers right off the bat and the natural area around Manatee Bay is improved and still leaves an amount of money we could possibly receive after that. Motion Vice Mayor Weiland made a motion to accept this agreement with the Manatee Bay Developer. Commissioner Black seconded the motion that carded 5-0. AT TH'rS PO'rNT MAYOR BROENTNG RETURNED TO 'rTEM 10C~ WH'rCH HAD BEEN DELAYED EARL'rER TN THE MEET'J:NG UNDER NEW BUSTNESS. C. Appointment of CRA Members (Two members to be Appointed) Mr. Bressner said he had prepared two sheets that the Commissioners needed to mark. The white sheet would be number i and the pink sheet would be number 2. Mr. Bressner directed the Commissioners to mark on the top of sheet #1 their name and their first choice. Their name and their second choice would go on sheet #2. He said that one decision they may want to make early on would be who gets the four-year term and who gets the two-year term. Commissioner Fisher suggested they choose the one with the longer term as their first choice. This was agreed to by the Commissioners. Upon completion of selection, the ballots were passed to Attorney Cherof and City Manager Bressner. Attorney Cherof stated that in the first round, Mr. Al DeMarco and Mr. lose Aguila each received two votes. Mr. Finkelstein received one vote. Attorney Cherof recommended that the Commissioners go back to their round one choice and try one more time, limiting it to the two who received the two top votes. Whoever voted for Mr. Finkelstein would be the tiebreaker in theory. On the next ballot, labeled #iA by Mr. Bressner, Attorney Cherof stated that there were two votes for Mr. DeMarco and three votes for Mr. Aguila. 26 MEETING MINUTES REGULAR CITY COMMISSION BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA May 16, 2000 Motion Commissioner Black made a motion to bring on Mr. Jose Aguila as a four-year member of the CRA. Vice Mayor Weiland seconded the motion. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Bressner said it was a little tougher with the two-year term because there was not a clear consensus on the second round and he recommended voting again on the two- year term. After the next vote for the two-year member was tallied, Attorney Cherof stated that there had been two votes for Mr. Finkelstein, two votes for Mr. DeMarco, and one vote for Ms. Hoyland, so he suggested following the same process as the first go-round, and that the choices would be Mr. Finkelstein and Mr. DeMarco. The Commissioners voted again to break the tie. Attorney Cherof read the final result of the two-year term vote tally as three for Mr. DeMarco and two for Mr. Finkelstein. The audience was reminded that the ballots were public information and copies could be provided if requested. Motion Vice Mayor Weiland made a motion to appoint Mr. Al DeMarco as the two-year member of the CRA Board. Mayor Pro Tem Sherman seconded the motion. The motion carried 5-0. XIII. OTHER: None. XTV.
