project which includes 64,533 square feet (500 -seat small theater, and 300 -seat banquet hall, Sunday School and
accessory facilities) for a cultural center and church offices, 64,025 square feet for retail space, 19,950 square
feet for restaurant space, 10,900 square feet for office space, and 225 rental units on an approximately 47 -acre
site. The subject property is located along the north side of PGA Boulevard between Gardens Square Boulevard
and Shady Lakes Drive.
Senior Planner Kara Irwin presented the project. Mr. Hansen asked if on the conditional use the cultural center,
theater, and church were all the same element. Ms. Irwin responded that the uses were a 500 -seat theater and
cultural center, and a 300 -seat banquet facility was separate. Mr. Hansen questioned since the drawings indicated
533 seats, whether the applicant was limited to 500. Ms. Irwin responded they could build up to 1,000 so they could
build 533. Mr. Channing commented the presentation had been great and questioned the on -site mitigation. Ms.
Irwin responded that the site plan showed a proposed mitigation area and proposed buffers. Mr. Glidden stated the
presentation was great, and asked if staff was recommending all mitigation be on site. Ms. Irwin responded that at
least 50% mitigation must be on site, which had been policy for recent projects, and anything less was unacceptable.
The other 50% could be off -site as had been done by Legends of the Gardens. Discussion ensued regarding other
projects that had provided both on and off -site mitigation. Ms. Irwin explained that staff would prefer 100% on -site
but under present policy 50% was required.
Casey Cummings, Ram Development, spoke on behalf of the applicant and highlighted some of the changes made in
response to comments made at the January 13th meeting. The applicant agreed with staff recommendation
regarding the MXD question, with Mr. Cummings stating they believed they had met three criteria but only two
were required; they agreed with the conditional use. Ed LeBlanc, Architect for Palm Beach Community Church
portion of the Borland Center, described changes made to architectural details and described proposed materials.
Mr. Cummings reported the applicant had responded to comments that the drawings were hard to refer from one to
another. Mark Weiner, Architect for the residential and retail portions, described details they had added. Donaldson
Hearing commented on issues regarding the site plan and explained they had provided similar landscape treatments
at both the eastern and western entrances; advised that the western buffer would be added to this phase of the
project, and a 30' buffer added to the 50' right -of -way would make a total of 80' buffered. Transportation Planner
Kayhart Pinder reported that installation of a traffic signal at Shady Lakes Drive and PGA Boulevard was governed
by the Department of Transportation and Palm Beach County and they would not give approval until traffic volumes
met their warrants. Mr. Pinder advised the applicant would monitor volumes and when they were met would go to
the appropriate agencies for their approval. If Shady Lakes Drive were extended to Central Boulevard, this street
would become part of the City's street plan, but now it was more like a private driveway.
Mr. Cummings commented on conditions of approval 6 and 15 that the applicant was not prepared to provide
pedestrian scale lighting along all rights -of -way. Condition 8: Palm Tran had indicated no interest in a transit stop
and shelter along PGA Boulevard so the applicant was not willing to erect a shelter until transit became available but
would then proceed with designating a suitable area within the project for a covered area. The applicant did not
agree with "on site preserve" at the end of conditions 13 and 14. Mr. Cummings commented on "roadway
maintenance" in condition 16: that the applicant was not willing to provide maintenance to all adjacent roadways;
and in condition 17 the applicant was only willing to maintain their side of the landscaping along Shady Lakes Drive
and PGA Boulevard. Conditions 19 and 20 regarding converting reclaimed irrigation pertained to agreement
between the applicant and Seacoast Utilities, but if reclaimed water was available they would like to use it.

natural environment, discussed planned unit development, and his opinion that allowing the applicant to go forward
with a large green area on which development would be determined later did not comply with the intent of a PUD.
Following a short break, the meeting reconvened at 8:30 p.m. Alternate Michael Panczak left the meeting at 8:30
p.m. The public hearing being still open, the next speaker was Cameron Carnegie, who requested the sidewalks
remain accessible during construction. Paul Auerback, resident and attorney for PGA Corridor Coalition,
questioned the number of seats allowed and requested the whole plan be approved at one time, stating the project
with 2300 seats would not be compatible with the surrounding area. Paul Connealy spoke in support of The Borland
Center and requested approval. Micah Simpson asked that the dangerous traffic situation on PGA Boulevard be
considered. Doug Frevert spoke in favor of the project and encouraged approval with the mitigation waiver. Sally
Benson favored approval of the project, which she believed would bring a traffic light. Deborah Hoeft supported the
project and urged its approval. Diane Worthington requested to yield her time and stated she resented not being able
to do so. Gary Kendall expressed excitement over the project and encouraged approval. Robert Davis expressed
concern that a 3,000 -seat auditorium would be added later where the large green space was shown and expressed his
opinion that the whole plan should be laid out at once. Nick Van Nice spoke in favor of the project and felt property
values in Shady Lakes would go up as a result of the project. Eileen Tucker was opposed to the project, feeling it
would lower property values in Shady Lakes and that this large project did not belong on PGA & Military. Judy
Steinbauer, manager of Garden Lakes Homeowners Association, expressed concern that the project was being
considered with the large green space and with 4 -story apartment buildings. Tommy Keidis spoke in favor of the
project and requested approval. Chris Siggins expressed appreciation for the work done by the Planning and Zoning
Commission and his opinion that the project was important for the City. Bulent Kastarlak expressed his opinion a
PUD must be considered all at once, that the large green space could become an outparcel, and a large 3,000 theatre
should be a regional facility - -and urged the City to find an appropriate location for a regional facility rather than in
this project and to consider the impact of Scripps. Carolyn Chaplik expressed concern there would be an over
supply of luxury apartments. Vito DeFrancesco commented the City was considering the property in The Commons
residential when it was mixed use, and that would change the 83 percent used for residential in the staff report. Mr.
DeFrancesco expressed his opinion this was not a complete submittal, and recommended calling this project
residential mixed use, and giving a conditional use for the church, which would negate issues such as why the whole
project was not considered in the beginning and the 83 percent not really being 83 percent. This would take a lot of
pressure off everyone. Hearing no further comments from the public, Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing
closed.
Talal Benothman clarified that the county would install a traffic light when warranted. Mr. Benothman clarified the
issue of the number of seats —that the applicant was only requesting 500 seats for the church, which had a dual
use —to function as a church or as a small theater; plus a 300 seat banquet facility. The total requested seats was
therefore 800. Mr. Cummings clarified that the second story residential units would have parking spaces in the
garage and they would be designed to condo quality but could be apartments or condos, whatever code provided.
Mr. Benothman commented regarding the unity issue that Mr. DeFrancesco was asking about a phased PUD but the
City could only act on what was proposed by an applicant, and what had been submitted was approval for the whole
PUD as one phase, and if the applicant chose to show open space because they did not know what would go there,
staff could not compel them to do anything else. Chair Kunkle verified with Mr. Benothman that in staff's opinion
this was a complete submittal that did warrant being before the Commission, and everything proposed was shown on
the site plan.

would have to be revisited to assure the four criteria were met. Mr. Pennell stated he had confidence there would be
a traffic signal and Shady Lakes Drive would be extended, and these issues would be ironed out in the future.
Mr. Present expressed concern about traffic, and commented he had stated before that he wanted to see Shady Lakes
Drive connected to 117th Court North as a condition of approval, otherwise he would not support the project, and
asked if the applicant would consider that as an additional condition. Mr. Cummings responded the applicant had
been consistent in saying they would designate their traffic impact fees toward that effort, and the fees would come
close to covering it, but he thought road building was the City's job because he did not know how the applicant
could control it, and he would encourage the City to do so. Mr. Wu commented it was the City's position that Shady
Lakes Drive was part of the thoroughfare plan, and current status was that City Council had asked staff to revisit that
link of the thoroughfare plan. If City Council decided to keep it on the plan, Mr. Wu advised that the Commission
or Mr. Present could recommend to City Council that its construction should be high priority in light of the Borland
Center plan. Mr. Cummings commented it should not be understated that the landowner would be dedicating 3 acres
of right -of -way and wanted to encourage construction of the roadway.
Mr. Solomon commented there was vesting in terms of concurrency because of the forbearance agreement and if the
City were to require the applicant to do something more, by extending Shady Lakes Drive, that would be like doing
away with the concurrency and he did not think it would be fair. Mr. Solomon requested the City's position on the
applicant's objections to the conditions. Mr. Benothman explained that regarding conditions 19 and 20 - -the gray
water / non -gray water issue which the applicant felt should be between them and Seacoast Utility — that previous
owner WCI had a deed restriction that they could take the reclaimed water, and they were using it to irrigate golf
courses in Old Palm. Mr. Benothman indicated the City wanted to be sure there was a viable water source to irrigate
any landscaping they approved. Mr. Cummings indicated the applicant understood it was their responsibility to
irrigate, but wanted to be free to negotiate with WCI or Seacoast. Mr. Solomon confirmed with Mr. Benothman that
from the City's point of view, the important thing was that there be water available whether reclaimed or not, from
Seacoast or any other source. Mr. Benothman confirmed if this were approved to go forward to City Council tonight
that suitable language could be worked out for conditions 19, 20 and 17. Mr. Cummings clarified that in Condition
17a he wanted it to say the applicant was responsible for 50% of the cost, to which Mr. Benothman agreed. Mr.
Solomon indicated that Condition 16 should state the applicant was responsible for lighting, landscaping, and
irrigation maintenance on their site, which was agreeable. Mr. Benothman advised that condition 17b would be
discussed with the applicant and something would be worked out. Mr. Solomon asked in condition 8, transit stop, if
the language "in the future and internally on site" would be acceptable, to which Mr. Benothman responded that
applicants met with Palm Tran to see where they would like a transit stop, and there was a plan already approved by
City Council for such a shelter, but he doubted Palm Tran would find it feasible in the future to place a bus shelter
internally on site instead of along PGA Boulevard. Mr. Solomon asked if the engineering conditions were in
addition to the conditions in the staff report, which Ms. Irwin confirmed. Mr. Solomon indicated he thought this
project was a reasonable use of the land, it was a good project overall and had been improved at every step, for
which the Commission, staff, and the applicant deserved credit. Mr. Solomon commented everyone wanted the
traffic light, and suggested calling the Department of Transportation, but it was really based on traffic counts, and
speeding was a law enforcement issue. Mr. Solomon expressed his opinion that the project would benefit the
community; the vacant open space was basically not a part of the plan, and if sold, a new owner would have to come
back to the City. Approval was not giving anything to the applicant for a future plan. Capacity and fire codes
would limit additional seating. Mr. Solomon commented he could see the mitigation either on or off -site and that
was not a strong issue with him Mr. Solomon stated he would support this project subject to language modifications

Mr. Glidden commented everyone had worked long and hard on this and he wanted to move it forward. Regarding
the outstanding issue of the large open space, the developer intended to build there but was not ready to decide right
now, and would be required to come back for full review. Mr. Glidden stated the issue he felt strongest about was
the traffic light, but that was not up to the Commission; but he believed any motion should have a comment to
strongly recommend to the City to take the initiative to use whatever monies the developer had contributed,
including any impact fees, and move forward with Shady Lakes Boulevard, because he believed that was the only
way there would be enough trips to get the warrants for the traffic light. Mr. Glidden expressed his opinion that
without the roadway extension, the City would be putting themselves in a precarious position, and the extension
must be made a priority. Mr. Glidden stated no problems with the comments on the conditions of approval but did
feel a commitment should be made to a specific design and location for a bus stop, but not required to be built yet,
and felt staff should decide that before this went to City Council. Mr. Glidden indicated agreement with Mr.
Channing regarding the roof pitches. Mr. Cummings agreed to raise the upper roof pitches to the same pitch as the
lower roofs, across the board. It was clarified that the 30' landscape buffer would stand whether or not there was
preserve on -site. City Forester Mark Hendrickson explained minimum width for a preserve would be 100' wide.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Glidden indicated his position would be a compromise somewhere between the zero
proposed by the applicant and the 100% proposed by staff, but he could not get his hands around it. Chair Kunkle
recommended that be left for City Council to decide.
Chair Kunkle stated his only concern about this project was its success and he thought it would be hugely
successful— greater than projected —which would bring more traffic. Chair Kunkle asked Mr. Benothman to
provide a projection before it went to City Council of how much traffic this project would generate, and after the
project was built to provide actual counts before this applicant returned with any plans for the open space, compared
to what the projection had been.
MOTION:
Mr. Solomon made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of Petition PUD -01 -03 with the seven
waivers recommended to be approved in the staff report, denying the request for the off -site upland
mitigation, and with the condition that staff and the applicant work out in the interim before City Council the
language changes discussed during the discussion portion of this hearing, and including the applicant's
agreement to make the adjustments to the roof pitches on the upper level consistent with Mr. Channing's
discussion earlier. Mr. Pennell seconded the motion. Mr. Present asked if the maker of the motion would
consider adding the extension of the road. Chair Kunkle suggested that Mr. Wu prepare a note before City
Council for Chair Kunkle's signature outlining this Commission's concern regarding the roadway extension
and the traffic light to take post haste action, to go concurrently with this application but not be tied to this
application. Mr. Hansen asked if the motion included staffs recommendation for denial on the uplands,
which Mr. Solomon confirmed. Motion carried by 5 -2 vote with Mr. Present and Mr. Channing opposed.
Mr. Channing stated he was opposed because for three years he had been asking this applicant to design the
project as an integral part of PGA Boulevard and not to move Main Street where they had moved it—
everything else had been done, but this was the most important thing, and lie knew his vote would not make
or break the project. Mr. Present stated he also knew his vote would not break the project, he supported the
project but felt very strong and off -site improvements were not unusual if someone felt strong about it—
which he did about the traffic. Mr. Present stated he was still going to push for the City to concurrently go
with it and wished the applicant good luck at City Council.

Senior Planner Natalie Wong presented the staff reports and made the following
announcements: A planning charrette for Scripps set for August 19 through 21 had been
postponed indefinitely. CRALLS application to the County was in process and would go
to the Board of County Commissioners in September after the LAUB hearing. RPC
Council hearing date for DRI was scheduled for September 17.
Mr. Panczak asked if under CRALLS the proposal was that PGA Boulevard remain 4
lanes west of the turnpike, to which City Engineer Dan Clark responded the section from
Avenue of the Champions to Beeline was proposed to remain 4 lanes under the City's
CRALLS; the County was proposing 6 lanes the entire length, but the City felt the level
of service was acceptable.
Mr. Pennell asked if rules and regulations for mitigation could be built in at the
beginning, to which Ms. Wong responded there had been a number of environmentally
protected lands maintained and a number of jurisdictional wetlands would still be
Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes
July 27, 2004
Page 3
required to be mitigated. The City was working with environmental permitting agencies
to come up with a plan.
Mr. Solomon asked the current owner of the property on Map H. Ms. Wong responded
the owner was Charles Vavrus, who also owned 2,700 acres to the south, which was not
part of this project. Ms. Wong explained that the interlocal agreement with the county
would be the joint planning agreement. Mr. Solomon asked if at this point staff could tell
if development of this project would be consistent with existing land use regulations of
the City. Ms. Wong responded yes, but there would be changes, and there might be a
special zoning district. Ms. Wong indicated there would not be PUD areas within the
DRI. Ms. Wong explained the process and items that would come before this board. Mr.
Clark explained that utilities provided by Seacoast Utilities would go in with the first
building. Development money for roads, etc., would come primarily from impact fees
paid by developers.
Mr. Channing asked if wetland preserves were now known, to which Ms. Wong
responded very thorough surveying had been done and wetlands had been flagged.
Preserve areas were identified on Map H. A mitigation plan had not yet been finalized
for the wetlands on site that were to be mitigated. Density was being assigned with these
comp plan amendments. Average density would be approximately 9 -10 units. Mr.
Channing commented it would have been nice to leave the wetlands in their natural state
instead of so much mitigation. Connector roads between pods were discussed. Mr.
Channing suggested having more of the large lake exposed to public roads as a public
amenity. Zoning would allow satellite businesses within the mixed use areas but not
within residential areas. Mr. Channing commented this was a unique opportunity and he
would like to establish a character now so that the development would be world - class.
Acting Chair Present asked to have the exhibits blown up and placed in the lobby so the
public could have meaningful input during public hearings. Mr. Present requested more
information about workforce housing and affordable housing, suggested an exhibit
depicting an overview of all the preserve systems, asked how front end costs of utilities
and development would be paid. Mr. Present asked if impacts of all the land surrounding
the DRI had been considered. Mr. Clark indicated traffic impacts had been considered
for every project to date. Mr. Present requested clarification regarding location in
proximity to a major airport —if that referred to the north county airport to change the
wording. Mr. Present recommended school sites be dedicated. Mr. Present indicated he
would like to hear alternatives to roadway transportation. Mr. Clark advised a 260 -foot
right -of -way had been requested for PGA Boulevard, which would allow for some type
of light tri-rail connection in the future. Mr. Present requested wetlands be addressed
more in depth later.
Mr. Clark advised the project would be one stormwater drainage basin, draining into the
C -18 canal. Mr. Solomon asked if the connecting links from Northlake Boulevard were
existing or would be condemned. Ms. Wong advised Cocoanut would have to be
extended. Mr. Solomon noted civic use was in more than one category in the legend,
Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes
July 27, 2004

which Ms. Wong indicated might be a scrivner's area. Mr. Solomon requested a
breakdown of the number of acres in each use. Ms. Wong advised it had not been
finalized whether there would be a master overall DRI.
Workshop:
Petition: CP- 04 -07: Gardens Science and Technolow Community- Economic
Development Element
A city- initiated request for the transmittal of a new Economic Development Element to
be included within the City's Comprehensive Plan related primarily to the Gardens
Science and Technology Community Development of Regional Impact (DRI).
Dolores Key, Economic Development Administrator, presented the staff report. A
website, www.ob,- science.com had been created to document progress on the creation of
a scientific community for Scripps.
Mr. Panczak asked about the anticipated revenues from Scripps. Ms. Key responded that
revenues depended upon whether the City could annex the Mecca site, and if it did $6.1
billion was anticipated over the next 30 years, with creation of 44,000 jobs.
Mr. Pennell expressed his opinion that workforce housing and affordable housing might
not be accomplished and asked if it were realistic to annex Scripps if it started in the
county. Branding was discussed. Ms. Key explained that Scripps might prefer the City's
police and fire protection to that of the county, and might also want the association with
the name Palm Beach Gardens.
Mr. Present confirmed with Ms. Wong locations for incubator companies, that the two
civic sites were for police and fire substations and some outdoor recreation, and that
churches would be allowed in any of the residential zoning districts.
Public Hearing
Petition: VAR- 04 -04: Plant Drive Park - Flagpole Variance
A request by Mike Kelly, Parks Director, of the City of Palm Beach Gardens, for
approval of a variance from Section 78 -287 to allow for the installation of a 40 foot
high flagpole at the City's Plant Drive Park. Plant Drive Park is located at the
southwest corner of Plant Drive and Lilac Street.
No board members reported any ex -parte communication. Attorney Tatum swore in all
those intending to testify on any of the cases on the rest of the agenda.
Planner Brad Wiseman presented the staff report. Acting Chair Present declared the
public hearing open. Hearing no comments from the public, Acting Chair Present
declared the public hearing closed.

Recommendation to City Council
Petition: SP- 04 -12: Gardens Mall Remodel and Expansion
A request by Mr. Rick Warner of Warner Real Estate Advisors, Inc, on behalf of The
Gardens Venture, LLC, for approval of a site plan amendment to the Gardens Mall
property to allow for (1) the construction of a 144, 000 square foot Nordstrom
department store in the location of the axisting Burdines building, (2) the expansion of
Macy's department store by 90,000 square feet; (3) the expansion of the Saks Fifth
Avenue department store by 35,000 square feet; (4) the expansion of the Gardens Mall
by 32,000 square feet of gross leasable area; (5) a reduction in the parking ratio for the
Gardens Mall site; and (6) minor modifications to portions of the Gardens Mall
parking lot. The approximately 100 -acre Gardens Mall property is generally located
-mile east of Alternate AIA on the north side of PGA Boulevard
The following ex -parte communication was reported: Mr. Channing advised he spoke to
the principal of this project but not about this project. Senior Planner Michael Sanchez
presented the project.
Applicant Rick Warner spoke and introduced others present who were part of the project
team and were available to answer questions.
Mr. Pennell commented this was a very nice project, which would improve the City, and
asked if there was a plan for employees to park on the north side of the mall, which the
applicant confirmed.
Mr. Panczak asked if there was a shared parking agreement with Downtown at the
Gardens, to which the response was no. Mr. Panczak asked if the furniture gallery was
being treated as a subtenant for signage, to which Mr. Sanchez responded he had not
thought of it that way but had believed it prudent to place another sign to identify the
furniture gallery.
Mr. Channing confirmed with Mr. Warner that the largest letter size for the sign would be
no larger than existing, and the exterior would be brick.
Mr. Solomon confirmed with Mr. Warner that rooftop mechanical equipment would be
screened. The square footage was discussed and clarified.
Mr. Panczak confirmed that the signage would be raised letters. Acting Chair Present
noted that in 1984 there was a national competition and Forbes Cohen had been selected.

Mr. Solomon moved to recommend to City Council approval of Petition SP -04 -12 as
submitted, including waivers. Mr. Panczak seconded the motion, which carried by
unanimous 5 -0 vote.
Public Hearim, and Recommendation to City Council
Petition: PUD- 04 -05: Paloma Planned Unit Development (aka Parcel 31B)
A request by Urban Design Studio, agent for MII Homes of West Palm Beach, LL C,
for a property rezoning from Planned Development Area (PDA) to a Planned Unit
Development (PUD) Overlay with an underlying Residential Low zoning designation to
allow for the development of 200 single-family dwelling units and 196 multi family
townhomes on 156.47 acres of land. The site is located south of Hood Road, west of
Military Trail, east of Central Boulevard; Parcel 31.04 (MXD); Interstate Highway 95,
and north of the Sabal Ridge Planned Unit Development (PUD).
The following ex -parte communication was reported: Mr. Panczak reported he had
spoken to the applicant; Mr. Present reported he had spoken to the applicant; Mr.
Solomon reported he had a call from someone saying this project was coming up. Mr.
Channing reported since the last meeting Ms. Booth had e- mailed changes and he had
called to tell her they were very well done and that he was pleased. Senior Kara Irwin
presented the project.
Anne Booth advised the applicant had taken the board's comments into consideration.
Mr. Panczak asked if the roundabouts were just to facilitate access to those homes, which
was confirmed. Mr. Pennell thanked the applicant for the changes. Mr. Solomon
commented everyone understood that the first waiver was relating to the plat to allow
permits for a certain number of dry units before platting. The applicant was asking for
the temporary sales trailer, one townhome with 4 units, and 3 single- family homes; and
Ms. Booth explained the waivers for sidewalks and littorals had been eliminated.
Acting Chair Present asked if there were lake access easements. Ms. Booth pointed out
access points on the site plan. Ms. Irwin explained if fences were added in the
easements, the property owners were required to acknowledge they were in access points
and if the fences had to be removed to allow access it was the property owners'
responsibility to pay to have the fences replaced.
Acting Chair Present declared the public hearing open. Speakers who had not been
sworn in were sworn by the City Attorney. Carolyn Chaplik, 715 Hudson Bay Drive,
indicated The Isles, located across the street from this project, only had one access and
discussed resulting traffic problems and the additional problems the traffic from this
project would cause. Ms. Chaplik referenced Ordinance 27, 2003 regarding traffic, and
requested the roadway entrance be moved south or a traffic light installed. Linda
Monroe, 619 Hudson Bay Drive in The Isles, asked staff to follow up on the reason for
the clearing, and commented ingress /egress was her number one concern. Ms. Monroe
read condition 13 and asked the meaning of build -out date, the determination of pro -rata
share, which condition was referred to regarding funding, asked why traffic was related

to square footage of residential units, and asked about surety being posted for a traffic
light before homeowners took over the association. Ms. Monroe referenced page 7 of the
staff report regarding median landscaping maintenance, since The Isles already
maintained it and was to share maintenance with the developer. Ms. Monroe requested
the developer replace the trees in the median that were not doing well. Ms. Monroe
expressed disappointment that natural vegetation was not required to be maintained in the
roadway buffer. Curt Shankman, Bent Tree resident, asked about pedestrian access in
this community and expressed concern regarding connectivity to the schools, park, and
shopping center, and sidewalk access along Hood Road, and expressed hope this project
could make these connections safer. Loli Cooper, Sabal Ridge resident, was sworn in
and expressed relief that access was not going to be at Elm Avenue, and expressed
concern about traffic from the new development. Hearing no further comments from the
public, Acting Chair Present declared the public hearing closed.
Anne Booth addressed questions raised by Ms. Monroe regarding traffic and when a light
would be warranted; and advised that the clearing was being done by the county. A
condition addressed replacement of the ribbon palm trees in the median. Mr. Solomon
recommended in condition 13 the language read, "until the buildout date of December 31,
2007 ", and clarified with Ms. Booth that the City Engineer would determine the pro rata
share to be paid by the developer. Mr. Clark indicated the language regarding paying for
the traffic light had been used in other projects and there had been no problems. Ms.
Irwin clarified the meaning of items in the conditions.
Mr. Channing confirmed that Military Trail was a county road. Mr. Clark indicated the
City would do their best to get a traffic light in early and have it flashing yellow. Mr.
Present asked if monies were put aside for offsite improvements from developers for
connectivity. Mr. Wu indicated it would need to be included in the budget and would be
a major project to be addressed by City Council to have connectivity in this case to the
mall. Mr. Present asked if a major vote of the HOA would be required if The Isles
wanted to have a second entrance on Hood Road. Mr. Wu indicated discussions would
be held with the HOA who would then consult their residents and then petition the City,
who might approve it administratively or take it through the process.
MOTION:
Mr. Solomon made a motion to recommend approval to City Council of PUD -04 -05
with the waivers requested, with clarification of dry permits required prior to
platting to have a temporary sales trailer, one 4 -unit multifamily and 3 single
family, with the 5 waivers listed for multifamily townhomes and the 5 waivers listed
single family homes, with correction to condition 13 having to do with every 6
months review to the buildout date of December 31, 2007, and correction to
condition 17 where 90% was to intended to apply toward number of residential
units and not square footage. Mr. Channing seconded the motion, which carried by
unanimous 5 -0 vote.
Mr. Channing left at this point in the meeting at 9:22 p.m. since he was not feeling well.

The meeting reconvened at 9:30 p.m.
Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council
Petition: SP- 03 -23: Site Plan and Conditional Use Approval — Seacoast Utility
Authority Water Treatment Plant
A request by Anne Booth of Urban Design Studio, agent for Seacoast Utility Authority,
for approval of an expansion to a previously approved Conditional Use to allow the
existing Seacoast Utility Authority Water Treatment Plan facility at Hood Road to
upgrade and expand its current operations. The 40 -acre site is generally located at the
intersection of Hood Road and Alternate A-]-A.
There were no ex -parte communications reported by members of the board except Mr.
Pennell who reported a conversation with Don Hearing. Planner Autumn Sorrow
presented the project. Anne Booth spoke on behalf of the applicant and showed the
design agreed upon with The Isles residents for the new water tower. Ms. Booth
presented another design preferred by the applicant, which did not have signage. Mr.
Panczak asked if there would be any interruption in water service when switching to the
new tank, to which the response was no.
Acting Chair Present declared the public hearing open. Carolyn Chaplik, 715 Hudson
Bay Drive, The Isles, indicated she was on the board at The Isles and was speaking for
the residents. The residents did not want the new design with the waves, and requested to
keep the one they had agreed upon with the applicant. Hearing no further comments
from the public, Acting Chair Present declared the public hearing closed.
Discussion ensued regarding the design. Several suggestions were made. A suggestion
was made to leave the tower white. One suggestion was to use the design preferred by
the residents, leaving the three logos and omitting the wording, and to leave the base of
the tower white.
MOTION:
Mr. Pennell made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of Petition SP-
03-23, with the petitioner to work with The Isles on a design acceptable to the
residents. Mr. Panczak seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 4 -0 vote.
Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council:
Petition PUD- 01 -03: Non - Residential MXD Waiver, Rezoning, Master Plan, and
Conditional Use Approval for the Borland Center /Palm Beach Community Church
A request by Cotleur and Hearing, agent for The Borland Center and RAM
Development, for a non - residential MXD waiver, a property rezoning from Planned
Development Area (PDA) to Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MXD /PUD),
master plan approval, and conditional use approvals to allow for the development of
64,533 square feet (500 -seat small theater, and 300 -seat banquet hall, Sunday School
and accessory facilities) for a cultural center and church facilities, 64,025 square feet

for retail space, 19,950 square feet for restaurant space, 10,900 square feet for office
space, and 22S rental units on an approximately 47 acre site. The subject property is
located along the north side of PGA Boulevard between Gardens Square Boulevard
and Shady Lakes Drive.
Senior Planner Kara Irwin advised that this public hearing was being held at the request
of the applicant, that the Board had heard this case on February 24, 2004, and the minutes
of that hearing were being made a part of the minutes of this hearing. The February 24,
2004 minutes are attached as Exhibit "A ". At the conclusion of that hearing, the board
had voted 5 -2 to recommend approval to City Council. Staff had reviewed the audio and
the minutes of that hearing and had made the following findings: no ex -parte
communication was disclosed by the board members, no witnesses were sworn, no one
attending the meeting requested the opportunity to cross examine any witnesses, no one
objected to the failure to disclose or the failure to swear in witnesses. It was the city's
position these items were non - substantive and did not affect the requirements of law
relating to quasi-judicial matters, as the board's authority is only recommendation, and is
not a final quasi-judicial action. However, in an abundance of caution, the applicant had
requested to reconvene before this board at a duly advertised and noticed meeting to
address any possible procedural issues. The City Attorney reviewed the steps that would
be followed tonight. City Attorney Tatum requested the opportunity to swear in anyone
who had arrived since the swearing in earlier. Attorney Tatum requested disclosure of
ex -parte communication, then the Chair would open the public hearing. Any witness
who previously testified at the February 24 hearing would be given the opportunity to
reaffirm the truth and accuracy of their previous testimony, subject to the board's normal
time limit. Any new witnesses would then be given opportunity to testify, within the
board's normal time limit. After all witnesses had testified, opportunity would be given
for cross examination, following which the Chair would close the public hearing, there
would be board discussion and another vote, which would be transmitted to City Council.
Attorney Tatum swore in all those not previously sworn. The following ex -parte
communications were reported: Mr. Panczak reported he met with the applicant, Mr.
Hearing and Mr. Gonzales approximately two months ago in Mr. Panczak's office. Mr.
Pennell reported he spoke to Don Hearing by telephone on July 26, 2004 for about five
minutes. Mr. Solomon disclosed he had spoken to Steve Cohen, attorney for the
applicant, that day and several other times. Mr. Present disclosed he had spoken to Don
Hearing, Hank Gonzalez, and Steve Cohen over the past two years on different occasions
for clarification as the project evolved. Acting Chair Present declared the public hearing
open.
Ms. Irwin presented the staff report and offered the entire project file into the record. Ms.
Irwin presented a condensed version of the project, including the previous approvals.
Staff now supported the requested off -site mitigation since the applicant had now also
provided on -site preservation. Staff recommended approval of the rezoning, approval of
the non - residential waiver request, approval of the conditional uses, approval of the
master site plan, approval of the eight waivers, and 50 conditions of approval had been
provided.

Attorney Raymond Royce, for the applicant, indicated a large number of workshop
meetings had been held, and a public hearing was held February 24, 2004 and apparently
there had been no ex -parte communications and the witnesses had not been sworn.
Attorney Royce stated his belief that was purely inadvertent, that the untimely death of
Hank Skokowski had been discussed and the meeting had been recessed and then
reconvened, and he believed those things had simply been overlooked. Attorney Royce
agreed with the City Attorney that the hearing might not really have been quasi judicial
and therefore did not require disclosure of ex -parte communication or swearing of
witnesses. Although the applicant had reached an agreement with the people who alleged
they had not received notice of the hearing, Mr. Royce explained that the applicant
wanted to be sure the process had not been flawed in any way, so they did send out a new
notice of this meeting and the proposed meeting of the City Council August 5 which
would be given to the clerk to be made part of the record; they had provided an affidavit
by Brian Cheguis from Mr. Hearing's office indicating he had posted the public signs and
sent out the notices; and the testimony and all of the presentation made February 24 were
to be made a part of the record. The applicant had agreed to remove the large theater
from the application and reached a settlement with a great number of people, that the
project would be subject to the PGA Boulevard Overlay which would limit theaters to
500 seats, and which was entered into the record. Attorney Royce read the names of the
organizations and individuals who had participated in the agreement.
Attorney Raymond Royce, for the applicant, asked Donaldson Hearing if he had been
sworn in tonight. Mr. Hearing responded yes, and confirmed that his testimony on
February 24, 2004 was true and correct, and asked that testimony to be adopted and
approved. Attorney Royce asked Casey Cummings if he had been sworn in. Mr.
Cummings responded yes, confirmed that his testimony on February 24, 2004 was true
and correct, and asked that testimony to be adopted and approved.
Doug Frevert, Dasheen Avenue, expressed his opinion this was a great project and should
be approved as is.
Vito DeFrancesco, Shady Lakes Circle, requested cross examination of Kara Irwin and
distributed a handout. Mr. Royce objected that the applicant did not receive a copy, and
was given a copy. Mr. DeFrancesco asked for clarification of the definition of
nonresidential subdivision. Attorney Tatum clarified that the purpose of cross
examination was to ask questions directly related to Ms. Irwin's testimony at the
February 24 hearing or this hearing and was not an opportunity to ask random testimony.
Mr. DeFrancesco commented a planned unit development had to either be phased or
single unit entity, and Ms. Irwin stated this was a single entity although they were saying
there was additional open space which would come to the board at a later date, and one of
the waivers asked for tonight was additional open space and therefore allowed. Mr.
DeFrancesco stated his question was whether this was a single unit entity or phased, and
if phased you had to declare what was in the second phase. Ms. Irwin responded that this
was a single unit entity controlled planned unit development. Mr. DeFrancesco advised
he had provided a handout of the LDR section for residential and non - residential MXD's
Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes
July 27, 2004
Page 11
which put this into the comprehensive plan, and discussed density. Attorney Tatum
objected that Mr. DeFrancesco was apparently testifying, not cross examining Ms. Irwin.
Mr. DeFrancesco asked how she had determined the criteria for residential mixed use to
have residential in it. Ms. Irwin stated she did not understand the question. Mr.
DeFrancesco stated the comprehensive plan does not allow residential in a non-
residential MXD and how did she determine there had to be a minimum 20% residential
high in there. Ms. Irwin asked that the question be stated again because Mr. DeFrancesco
was making assumptions before he asked the questions and she wanted to be sure his
assumptions were true. Mr. DeFrancesco stated in non - residential MXD in the
comprehensive plan, there was no measurement for residential; in her staff report Ms.
Irwin stated that there was a requirement to have 20% residential high in this
development. Ms. Irwin stated she disagreed with his second statement, and what was
the question. Mr. DeFrancesco stated the question was how had she determined there
was a 20% requirement. Ms. Irwin stated that the statement did not say that they had a
20% requirement; residential MXD's have a 20% minimum for residential high land use;
this project is a non - residential MXD so did not have the 20% mandatory requirement for
residential high land use allocation, so she did not understand the question. Mr.
DeFrancesco stated that differed with the staff report. Ms. Irwin stated she disagreed.
Chair Present asked if Mr. DeFrancesco was a part of the PGA Corridor group that had
agreed to a settlement. Mr. DeFrancesco responded he was a member but he had not
agreed to the settlement and was here tonight as a homeowner living in Shady Lakes
development. Mr. DeFrancesco asked how Ms. Irwin had determined that 4 stories were
acceptable for residential in a non - residential MXD, because the comprehensive plan
does not list it. Ms. Irwin stated the comprehensive plan talks about land uses but also set
forth criteria for development; the land uses had zoning categories and she was talking
about zoning categories when talking about residential. Ms. Irwin stated Mr.
DeFrancesco was talking about land uses in the comprehensive plan; the land use or type
of use was limited to 4 floors in a non - residential MXD, so that had been continued to the
zoning for residential, which was 4 stories also. Mr. DeFrancesco asked if there was a
measurement in the comprehensive plan for residential in non - residential MXD. Ms.
Irwin stated it is our determination that residential zoning, residential use, is allowed
within the institutional land use, so, yes, there are measurements for it. Mr. DeFrancesco
indicated he had supplied the board and Ms. Irwin with a copy of definitions of public
and institutional, and asked if the word "residential" showed up in that definition. Ms.
Irwin stated, does the word "residential" show up in the definition of public institutional
uses in land use categories, no. Mr. DeFrancesco stated under the comprehensive plan
where you have the criteria, Ms. Irwin said that the major contributor to number 3 —there
was a two -part question for the number 3 criteria —one was 60% residential and the other
was horizontal integration; in the staff report it stated that horizontal integration was
taken care of by the fact that they had tertiary roads going through there and it was going
to be a linkage, and asked if that were true. Ms. Irwin stated she did not believe she used
the term tertiary roadways, so would say no. Mr. DeFrancesco asked what type of
roadways they were. Ms. Irwin responded they were roadways within a PUD; access
roadways for the PUD. Mr. DeFrancesco asked if they were local or neighborhood
roadways. Ms. Irwin responded she had not classified them as either of those, so, no.
Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes
July 27, 2004
Page 12
Mr. DeFrancesco stated according to the comprehensive plan, a neighborhood collector
roadway is 80' right -of -way and a local road was either 60' with swale or 50' with curb
and gutter; which one is it? Ms. Irwin stated she had already answered his question. Mr.
DeFrancesco asked if the city encouraged parking lots to go into roadways that were
linkages between two points. Ms. Irwin stated she did not understand the question how it
pertained to this project. Mr. DeFrancesco stated in this project there were many, many
parking lots that backed right up into the roadway that she considered a linkage roadway.
Chair Present interrupted, indicating that Mr. DeFrancesco was to ask questions to cross
examine and he did not want this back and forth to continue. Mr. DeFrancesco stated she
testified this was a roadway that was a linkage between two points. Ms. Irwin stated she
did not testify to that. Mr. DeFrancesco asked if Ms. Irwin could explain how this project
meets the horizontal integration. Ms. Irwin responded she explained horizontal
integration in the staff report and what question did Mr. DeFrancesco have pertaining to
her explanation in the staff report. Mr. DeFrancesco stated the staff report said it was
because of the roadway linkages. Ms. Irwin asked that he ask a question that related to
what she said, that she did not identify these roadways as linkage roadways or as local
roadways or as collectors, and asked that the question be phrased appropriately. Acting
Chair Present asked how many more questions Mr. DeFrancesco had, to which the
response was he was almost at the end. Mr. DeFrancesco stated that in the staff report it
stated there was going to be 2.37 acres of land mitigated and what they were going to do
was .94 acres on site; and in the staff report there was a letter from Don Hearing to Mr.
Hendrickson of the City, which said that they were requiring 4.2 acres of preservation,
and read that portion verbatim. Question: How did the City determine 2.37 acres if Don
Hearing himself said he has 4.32? Ms. Irwin responded it was her understanding the
requirement was 2.37 acres for upland mitigation and the applicant was mitigating a
larger parcel, which was the 4.6 acres proposed off Beeline Highway - -but they were only
required to have 2.37. Mr. DeFrancesco stated, this is a copy that came right out of the
staff report, Mr. Don Hearing to Mr. Hendrickson, and what he had read was verbatim
out of there, and he would still like the answer to that. Attorney Tatum stated Ms. Irwin
had answered the question. Acting Chair Present advised that what Mr. DeFrancesco had
could be submitted into the record. Mr. DeFrancesco stated it appears that this has not
been met according to the very document that they submitted; he believed it had been
overlooked; and he provided it to the board, he did not create these but was only reading
them. Acting Chair Present stated the board had the copies and Mr. DeFrancesco's
questions and the answers were part of the record, and if he wanted to submit his
documents they would be a part of the record also. Mr. DeFrancesco submitted his
documents.
Attorney Royce stated by nature of rebuttal testimony he would like to have Mr. Michael
Morrell, who represented the PGA Coalition organization, address the board. Attorney
Tatum asked Ms. Irwin a question regarding the cross examination testimony she just
gave, that she was asked a question regarding public institutional land use category in the
comprehensive plan and asked if that was the land use category for this property. Ms.
Irwin responded no, it is not.
Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes
July 27, 2004
Page 13
Michael Morrell advised he had represented the PGA Corridor Residents Coalition, the
three individual associations, and the 17 individual members. All the associations and
most of the individual members had signed the agreement. Mr. DeFrancesco had
represented that he was a member of the coalition, insinuating there was a portion of the
coalition not in agreement, and he wished to correct that. The coalition had met and
discussed the settlement agreement for three hours before accepting the settlement
agreement. They had heard from two attorneys and from Mr. DeFrancesco for about 2-
1/2 hours and at the end of that time the coalition felt that the existing conditions
protected the community with regard to when the applicant comes back to finish the open
space, if they ever do, but in addition to that the settlement agreement itself provides that
there will never be greater than a 500 -seat theater on this property. Mr. Morrell recalled
that the vote of the coalition had been unanimous and did not believe Mr. DeFrancesco
was recorded as voting in the negative, although the minutes would be a better reflection
of that. After the coalition met, the Shady Lakes Homeowners Association, Mr.
DeFrancesco's neighborhood, convened a special meeting of their Board of Directors and
after a 2 -hour discussion there was a unanimous vote to support and sign the agreement.
Mr. Morrell suggested his clients were pleased with where this project was at this time.
Acting Chair Present verified that Mr. Morrell had been sworn in, and advised he had
asked Mr. DeFrancesco if he was speaking on behalf of the coalition but he had indicated
he was speaking as a property owner on his own. Mr. Morrell expressed thanks for that
clarification since his clients strongly supported this project at this time.
Mr. Solomon asked on the road right -of -way for Shady Lakes Drive if Ms. Irwin had
indicated it was 55'. Ms. Irwin clarified it was a 50' right -of -way with a 20' FPL
easement and an additional 80', for a total of 150'. Mr. Solomon commented at the
February 24 hearing when this board approved the project, it was approved with 7
waivers but not with the upland waiver situation, but now that was changed because the
City was now satisfied and that was documented by the recommendations in the staff
report, which Ms. Irwin verified was correct.
Acting Chair Present advised he had voted against this but was now satisfied and
supported it. Mr. Royce thanked the board for going through this project again.
MOTION:
Mr. Solomon made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of PUD -01 -13
with specific inclusion of fact that the Board had found that findings of fact as
submitted by Ms. Kara Irwin as stated in her report to be true and correct with
respect to the history of what went on in this project, and that this approval includes
all of the recommendations and conditions of approval, including approval of the
requested non - residential MXD waiver based upon the master site plan, based upon
the approval for the 500 -seat theater, 500 -seat church, 300 -seat banquet facility,
approval of the PUD overlay ordinance, the underlying mixed use zoning through
adoption of Ordinance 13, 2004, waivers adopted through Resolution 92, 2004,
approval of Resolution 156, 2004 regarding the off -site mitigation, and the

Dear Gentlemen
On behalf of Ram Development Company and the Borland Center for
Community Enrichment, please accept this as the applicant's official
submittal to the City to provide 4.33 acres of pine flatwood upland
"set aside" to mitigate for Impacts to similar habitation on the Borland
Center site. The applicant's Environmental Assessment for the
Borland Center, submitted and accepted by the City, identified 17.29
acres of pine flatwood habitat (FLUCCS code 411) on site thus
requiring 4.32 acres of preservation.
While applicant will make every effort to preserve individual trees,
particularly those adjacent to the PGA corridor, the development of
the site, does not facilitate preservation. As documented in our June
12, 2002 submittal to the City and our Engineering Reports, the Unit 2
drainage requirements and the existing grades of the site require an
average of 2 to 2 -1/2 feet of fill. This creates a condition far less than
optimal for the preservation of slash pine (flatwood) habitat.
Recognizing that the required upland "set aside" [LDR 78 -250
(3)(b &c)] represent only 43% of the 10 acre size threshold recognized
by the comprehensive plan to be a sustainable / viable "set aside"
area, the applicant has requested the City Council's approval to
provide offsite mitigation in accordance with the Land Development
Regulations [LDR 78 -249 (b)(2)]. The applicant proposal includes
4.34 acres of pine flatwood habitat, together with approximately 7.77
acres of high quality wetlands. In total, the applicant proposes to
place approximately 12.11 acres of native habitat into Perpetual
Conservation Easement In favor of the City of Palm Beach.
