Bramson (1st alternate) Jonathan D. Rubins (2nd alternate) Absent Dennis Solomon Michael Panczak All those intending to offer testimony in tonight's public hearing were sworn. Public Hearin,- and Recommendation to City Council: PUD- 04 -04: RCA Center (Parcel 5B) — Rezoning and Master Development Plan Approval Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes November 9, 2004 Page 2 A request by Mr. William D. Waters of REG Architects, Inc., on behalf of RCA center II, LLC, for approval of a rezoning from a Research and Light Industrial Park (MI) Zoning designation to a Mixed -Use Planned Unit Development (MXDIPUD) Overlay zoning designation and approval of a master development plan allowing for the development of 150,000 square feet of retail use, 100,000 square feet of office use, and 50,000 square feet of industrial use. The approximately 30.03 -acre subject site, referred to as "Parcel 5B, "is generally bounded by the PGA Flyover to the north, the FEC Railway to the east, the proposed Gardens Station mixed -use development to the south, and RCA Boulevard to the west. Ex -parte communication was reported as follows: Mr. Hansen had met with the applicant about two weeks ago. Mr. Pennell met with Mr. Marshall. Mr. Present spoke to Mr. Marshall on the phone. Senior Planner Michael Sanchez presented the staff report. Mr. Sanchez explained that if this project did not receive a development order by the end of this year they would lose their city traffic concurrency approval and would have to re -apply for traffic concurrency. They would then run the risk of not receiving traffic concurrency due to the current amount of trips on PGA Boulevard. On the proposed connection between Gardens Station, Mr. Hansen asked if the recommendation to close that off also would close the driveway that exits to RCA from Gardens Station. Mr. Sanchez responded, no, it was just to eliminate having three entrances from RCA. Mr. Hansen asked if there was concern about traffic using the drive thru at the bank. Mr. Benothman commented that had been discussed with the applicant for Gardens Station that afternoon, and they were reducing the bank by 1,000 square feet and possibly eliminating the drive thru. The area resulting from the building decrease would be used for parking. Mr. Pennell noted the City Council approval for Gardens Station had included the position of the access road, and asked what that meant in this approval. Mr. Benothman responded the same condition was being proposed for 5B. Mr. Pennell asked what would happen if this Board recommended it not be there, to which Mr. Benothman responded that would be included in the recommendation to City Council. Mr. Present asked if the developers of Gardens Station were okay with the changes. Mr. Benothman confirmed they were fine with the changes. Mr. Hereford asked if Gardens Station was a station for Tri Rail or a development location for private businesses. Mr. Sanchez explained that Gardens Station was the site plan shown and had nothing to do with Tri Rail —that was just the name of the development. Mr. Sanchez pointed out the location where the Tri Rail station might be built, and explained that a condition required the applicant to work with the City, RTA, and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to redesign that portion to accommodate proposed intensities and a transit station if it were deemed feasible in the future. Mr. Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes November 9, 2004 Page 3 Present asked if enough provision for parking was being made in case that happened in the future. Mr. Sanchez explained there was no provision for parking being made at this point and part of that plan would address the parking situation, which he felt would have to be a parking structure. Chair Kunkle asked if this project were approved before the end of this year, if there was a possibility this might come back to this board in a year and a half with a totally different site plan, which Mr. Sanchez confirmed was possible. Donaldson Hearing, representing the applicant, introduced Rick Gonzales, President of REG Architects, Inc, who gave a presentation regarding the architecture. Mr. Gonzales described the model, scale, and urban design aspects, reviewed renderings showing updated architecture, and advised that there would be two locations provided for art in public places. Mr. Hearing continued the presentation, addressing items to which staff had objected, including buffer size, covered parking, trademark corporate logos, and signage. Interconnectivity was reviewed. The applicant objected to pedestrian connectivity in the parking lot. Chair Kunkle verified with Mr. Benothman that this was the opportunity for this Board to get additional items of concern for this project listed for City Council approval. Mr. Bramson recommended reducing the signage size by 6" or whatever was needed to get the signage proportionate to the vertical platform the sign was attached to, which would solve the sign problem. Also the color palette, which was a point of contention, could be very easily corrected. Mr. Hearing stated the applicant agreed to work with staff to address the colors staff had requested. Mr. Hansen stated he would like to commend the applicant for their response to the Board's previous concerns, particularly as it related to the architecture, which had been significantly enhanced. Mr. Hansen stated he was not concerned about introducing another architectural style, and described the varied architectural enhancements, which he felt was a great improvement over the previous Mission style. Mr. Hansen commented in the city of Santa Barbara there was a whole city with the same style of roofs, and yet that city had a very exciting character. Mr. Hansen stated he understood the applicant's concerns about parking, and had talked about parking structures with Mr. Gonzales and about doing something with the one that semi - blocked the view of the end of the building — building number one. Mr. Hansen favored pulling building number two closer to the corner, and agreed with the applicant on the pedestrian connectivity issue in the parking lot, and stated he felt the sidewalk added by the furniture building on the south end of the project was a good one. Mr. Hansen commented on the easement encroachment waiver and asked if there were utilities there, to which Mr. Hearing responded there were Seacoast Utilities there and also FDOT drainage. The utility providers had agreed to the landscaping where it was shown, and would be the amount required only in a more defined, narrower strip. Mr. Hearing explained that the raised railroad track served a function to hide the cars. Mr. Hansen commented he tended to agree that the covered parking spaces helped the edge but would like to see the office building pulled in a little closer to create more of an edge since he thought the building Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes November 9, 2004 Page 4 would create a better edge than the parking structure; however, if it would not work, he would like to see a full peaked roof. On the logo issue, he supported working this out on a case -by -case basis with staff and agreed the Panera's logo at The Commons looked good. Mr. Hansen stated he concurred with staff on the sign height, stating he felt Catalfumo's sign could be more tastefully indicated, be more in scale, and commented this building did not lend itself to a billboard type 5' high sign. Mr. Gonzalez indicated the applicant would work with Mr. Bramson's suggestion regarding reducing the sign proportionally. Mr. Hansen commented he felt the project overall was well done and the architecture worked well, and was a positive improvement. Mr. Hansen stated if the few outstanding items could be addressed he felt this would be a great project. Mr. Pennell commented he agreed with staff on most of the items, but complemented the applicant for putting in the roadway median and on the architecture. Mr. Pennell agreed with staff there should be more color. Mr. Pennell indicated building one reminded him of the Bascom Palmer building and was a nice touch. Mr. Pennell commented he was comfortable with the location of building number two. Mr. Pennell disagreed with staff on the covered parking and thought the 13 spaces at issue were less visible than if they were moved to the south. Mr. Pennell stated he did not see people walking across the parking lot, and felt it worked the way the applicant had presented it. Mr. Pennell commented if he were the tenant in building 10, especially if it were a furniture store, it seemed a very awkward place for an access road, but he did not know a solution except to place the access road in the little parcel off to the west. Mr. Pennell agreed with staff on all conditions and waivers except the one about the covered parking structure, and felt if the one building was replaced with a train station that would work very nicely. Mr. Present commented Mr. Hearing had done a fine job convincing him why the easement encroachment was unique to this property. On the logos, Mr. Present stated he would like to see the right and left side edges of the palette —with bright colors or edges kept down - -and work with staff on that so bright colors would not be standing out like a sore thumb. Mr. Present agreed with what had been said about sign size. Mr. Present liked the location of building two where it was, and would like to see a separation in the parking lot between retail and office parking. In the future if Loehmann's redeveloped that would be a big factor in how the walkways would be used. Mr. Present commented the dual access was too close and would have liked it worked out, but was sure it could be worked out with staff. Mr. Present favored leaving the space for Tri Rail with nothing done there, and for everyone to actively work on getting Tri Rail there and not waiting to see if it happens. Mr. Present expressed his opinion that Tri Rail was the key to North County, that it belonged on this piece and not on the northern piece, that it was an amenity not only to this development but to PGA Boulevard and Palm Beach Gardens, and he would not like the City to be sorry in the future that this development had been done in a way that Tri Rail was boxed in so they could not use the site to their maximum. Mr. Present encouraged the applicant to make it happen and do everything possible to prepare for it, and for the staff to do whatever was possible with Treasure Coast, the Council, and the Mayor to encourage it. Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes November 9, 2004 Page 5 Mr. Rubins commented he was very impressed with the presentation. Mr. Rubins felt the covered parking was located in the best spot. Mr., Rubins felt regarding the pedestrian connectivity that it was very important that it stay where it was because people should walk through the stores so they would spend their money there. Mr. Rubins was concerned about the logos, since he would not like to see a bright yellow Subway logo.. Mr. Hereford commented he agreed with the comments that had been made, and strongly seconded Mr. Present's comments about Tri Rail. Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing open. Roger Blangey, Garden Woods, advised he was the official representative from that area for the proposed railroad station, and they were very much opposed to it being in Parcel 5A because it would be in their back yard and it would be dangerous. The City had been working with them on that, which they appreciated. Mr. Blangey expressed his opinion it was a very nice plan for 5B but there should be a plan in case there was a Tri Rail station there, and felt it important to have a plan to go either way. Chair Kunkle advised that he believed staff would take the Board's suggestions to pursue getting a Tri Rail station, and this Board generally supported this location for a Tri Rail station as opposed to 5A. Mr. Blangey commented it was important parking for the station be in Parcel 5B if the station was there. Chair Kunkle encouraged Mr. Blangey to make similar comments to the City Council when this was heard. Hearing no further comments from the public, Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing closed. MOTION: Mr. Hansen made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of PUD -04 -04 RCA Center (Parcel 5B) — Rezoning and Master Development Plan Approval including comments that the general feeling of this Board is that the overall architectural concept as presented is a significant improvement over the previous and maintaining that particular style throughout is satisfactory to this particular Board with the exception that multiple color palettes be looked at as far as differentiation from building to building, however, the architectural character will remain as it is; also recommend strongly that the City Council and staff and whoever else is necessary pursue as vigorously as possible encouragement of a timely time frame to incorporate the extension of Tri -Rail and incorporation of a Tri -Rail Station on this particular site; and that all notes taken by staff of comments made by each member of the Board be incorporated as a part of this motion. Mr. Hereford seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 7 -0 vote. OLD BUSINESS There was no old business to come before the Board. NEW BUSINESS Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes November 9, 2004 Page 6 Mr. Benothman announced that an informational memo had been included in the packets as requested by the Board, providing an explanation of the widening of PGA Boulevard in front of Mirasol Walk PUD.

Ru Be ty Laur, Skcretary fbr the Meeting R r Mr Eric Jablin, Mayor November 19, 2004 City of Palm Beach Gardens Florida 33410 Sent via Fax (561) 799 -4111 Re: Location of Future Tri -Rail Transit Station — City of Palm Beach Gardens. Dear Mayor. Further to my letter dated June 01, 2004 to Mr Jonathan Roberson of S.F.R.T.A (enclosed) I would like to mention another reason why the future Tri -Rail transit Station should not be located North of the PGA Blvd overpass in parcel 5A. Mr J.L. Schonder Manager - Engineering FEC Railrway, in his letter dated 05/29/01 to Mr R. Ferris City Manager, stated for Kyoto Drive quote "The crossing would be located at the end of a curve in our mainline track and would not give our train Engineers time to react should a motorist become stranded or stopped on the crossing" unquote. Therefore if for any reason a TRI- RAIL, train has not completely cleared the mainline track near the Kyoto Drive crossing when a southbound FEC train is approaching, the FEC train Engineer will not be able to stop his train in time to avoid a catastrophic accident. According to Mr Roberson the final decision for the location of the future Tri-Rail Transit Station will be the responsibility of the City of Palm Beach Gardens. Therefore as the representative of Garden Woods on that matter, I suggest to the City Council to pass a Resolution stating that the future Tri-Rail Transit Station is to be located South of the PGA Blvd overpass in parcel 5B.

Dear Mr. Roberson, Further to our petition against a PGA railroad station in parcel 5A and in view of a decision by S.F.R.T.A and the City to find the most suitable location for that station, I would like to make the following comment: A Tri -Rail train stationed north of PGA Blvd would stand directly south of the fixture Kyoto Drive at -grade railroad crossing. A motorist heading Eastbound at that crossing would not be able to see an approaching northbound train due to visual limitation caused by the Tri -Rail train stationed at that location, thereby creating driver apprehension at the crossing and leading to accidents. Hoping this information along with our petition will be valuable to S.F.R.T.A and the City in deciding not to consider the parcel 5A location for "the station ".

Wu, Growth Management: Administrator l7 A.— Talal. M. Benothman, Planning and Zoning Division Director Ronald M. Ferris, City Manager SUBJECT: Tri -Rail Transit Station FYI In December of 2003, staff islet with representatives from the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (the `Authority') to identify possible sites fora Tri -Rail transit station within the City in close proximity to PGA Boulevard. Two (2) sites were identified as a result of that meeting, Parcel 5A (nonhwest corner of PGA Boulevard and Alternate A 1 A) and Parcel 5B (southwest corner of PGA Boulevard and Alternate Al A). In light of knowledge that the Authority is contemplating a Tri -Rail transit station at either of the two (2) aforesaid locations, staff initiated an amendment to the City's Land Development Regulations (LDR's) to allow "Passenger Stations" to be permitted as Conditional Uses within the Research and Light Industrial Park (M1) zoning district. For your information, Parcels SA and SB currently have Research and Light Industrial Park (MI) zoning designations. Upon the rezoning of Parcel SB as is currently being proposed, said parcel will retain, among others, the same underlying zoning designation. At the City Council meeting of March 18, 2004, at which the aforementioned City - initiated LDR text amendment was heard on First Reading, the City Council made it be known to staff that it preferred the transit station to be located on Parcel 5B, rather than on Parcel 5A; the reason being that Parcel 5A is directly adjacent to the Garden Woods residential development and that a passenger transit station on Parcel 5A would adversely affect the neighborhood. The City has put the Authority on notice that the developer for Parcel 5A and Parcel 5B is actively pursuing development approvals for both parcels from the City and is expecting to obtain approval thereof by early -to -mid Fail of 2004 and that swift action is required on the part of the Authority in order to have provisions made for a Tri-Rail transit stop in the development approval of either parcel. Should you require any additional information relating to this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

According to S.F.R.T.A. a final decision on the location of the PGA railroad station site will be made before the summer of 2004. It is well known that a railroad station is very noisy in train starting procedure, has heavy engine pollution and a lot of activities with can and buses coming in and out of a railroad station. Therefore the residents of Garden Woods are very opposed to a railroad station north of PGA Blvd and are asking S.F.R.T.A, the Palm Beach Gardens Mayor and Council to locate the future railroad station near RCA Blvd. KYOTO DRIVE GRADE RAILROAD CROSSING DOT CASE 02 -004 and 006 The Administrative Hearing scheduled for September 15`h through 19, 2003 was cancelled because the Florida East Coast railway accepted the future Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing location and the Patin Beach Gardens Mayor promised an A.H.S (Automated Horn System) to be installed at the future Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing itself. That system would permit the train engineer not to blow the train horn' /. of a mile before the crossing except in case the A.H.S would fail to work. According to Rail Manual, paragraph 3.2, FDOT is to consider the criteria for noise due to additional whistle blowing on opening a railroad crossing. Therefore the residents of Garden Woods are asking the FDOT Secretary not to give the authorization for the Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing to start operation before an A.H.S. is installed and fully operational in cooperation with the F.E.0 railway and other railroad companies using the F.E.0 railway line. Because we have no Neighborhood Association in Garden Woods we authorize Roger Blangy, a resident of Garden Woods, living at 11658 Hemlock Street, to be our representative in the matters of the future PGA railroad station and the future Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing.

Therefore the residents of Garden Woods are asking the FDOT Secretary not to give the authorization for the Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing to start operation before an A.H.S. is installed and fully operational in cooperation with the F.E.0 railway and other railroad companies using the F.E.0 railway line.

Military Trail Palm Beach Gardens Florida 33410 Jose ABREU, Secretary Florida Department Of Transportation 605 Suwannee Street Tallahassee Florida 32399 Jonathan ROBERSON, Transportation Planning Manager South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (Tri-Rail) 800 North West 33 rd Street, Suite 100 Pompano Beach F133064 PGA RAILROAD STATION PETITION According to South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (Tri- Rail), the City of Palm Beach Gardens has proposed 2 sites for the PGA railroad station: 1) site south of PGA Blvd near RCA Blvd or 2) site north of PGA Blvd (right in the backyard of the Garden Woods community). According to S.F.R.T.A. a final decision on the location of the PGA railroad station site will be made before the summer of 2004. It is well known that a railroad station is very noisy in train starting procedure, has heavy engine pollution and a lot of activities with cars and buses coming in and out of a railroad station. Therefore the residents of Garden Woods are very opposed to a railroad station north of PGA Blvd and are asking S.F.R.T.A, the Palm Beach Gardens Mayor and Council to locate the future railroad station near RCA Blvd. KYOTO DRIVE GRADE RAILROAD CROSSING DOT CASE 02 -004 and 006 The Administrative Hearing scheduled for September 15" through 19, 2003 was cancelled because the Florida East Coast railway accepted the future Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing location and the Palm Beach Gardens Mayor promised an A.H.S (Automated Horn System) to be installed at the future Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing itself. That system would permit the train engineer not to blow the train horn %. of a mile before the crossing except in case the A.H.S would fail to work. According to Rail Manual, paragraph 3.2, FDOT is to consider the criteria for noise due to additional whistle blowing on opening a railroad crossing. Therefore the residents of Garden Woods are asking the FDOT Secretary not to give the authorization for the Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing to start operation before an A.H.S. is installed and fully operational in cooperation with the F.E.0 railway and other railroad companies using the F.E.0 railway line. Because we have no Neighborhood Association in Garden Woods we authorize Roger Blangy, a resident of Garden Woods, living at 11658 Hemlock Street, to be our representative in the matters of the future PGA railroad station and the future Kyoto Drive grade railroad crossing. THE RESIDENTS OF GARDEN WOODS HAVE SIGNED ON THE BACK OF THIS PETITION.
