Gardens High School Modernization. The meeting started at 3:10 PM.
Present at the meeting were: Dan Clark, Interim Growth Management Administrator,
Mike Sanchez, Planning Manager, Scott Fetterman, Fire Marshall, Julius Barone, Police
Officer, Keehren Richards, Planner, Mike Morrow, Public Works Operational Director,
Judy Dye, LBFH, Mark Hendrickson, City Forester, Chris Garrison, Palm Beach County

Tercilla Tcourtemance Architects, and Cheikh Sylla, Architect.
Mike Sanchez opened the meeting and talked about the comments from the City's
Planning Staff. There were 19 comments that are attached to these minutes. Mike
brought up specific points that included:
A) The City still needing the numbers of students, classrooms and square footage of
office space.
B) Discussing the inter -local agreement with the City to use facilities during school
construction.
C) Traffic problem with students exiting the parking lot on Lilac Drive.
D) Mike asked for copy of traffic operations analysis that was done for Lilac Drive
and Military Trail.
E) Information about color that buildings will be painted. James Cartmill stated that
he is not ready to commit to the color. Mike Sanchez pointed out that the Planning and
Zoning Board and the City Council are going to want this information before moving
forward.
F) Mike talked about the walls of the buildings have very little articulation. He stated
that City Council was very disappointed with the rendering they have seen and would like
to see the building more articulated.
The parties will review all 19 of staff s comments and send a response back to Mike
Sanchez and Staff.
Scott Fetterman presented his comments that included revising the parking lot with a
minimum of 40 foot inside radius and a minimum of a 45 foot radius for access.
Mike Sanchez talked about the comments that Seacoast Utility sent in. There letter stated
that the applicant needs to submit preliminary engineering plans showing the proposed
sewer water and drainage lines and needs to revise the landscaping plans to depict all
proposed water and sewer lines.
Police Officer Jules Barone submitted a list of 20 comments that are attached to these
minutes. Some of his comments had to do with the li&0 numerical addresses,
landscaping and not extracting the view of what ways classroom doors not being
recessed, and classroom entry doors having viewfinders to identify visitors.
Lt. J. Spencer was unable to attend the meeting but submitted a list of four comments that
are attached to these minutes.
Mark Hendrickson, City Forrester, submitted a list of six comments which are a catch to
these minutes. Mark talked about meeting with the school district in the very near future
to work out some of the details. He discussed the landscaping and the parking lot and
had suggestions on improving both. Chris Garrison from the school board is going to set
up the meeting it would mark for next week.
Judy Dye from LBFH submitted a list of 30 certification issues and five non - certification
issues. She asked the applicant to please review all the comments and submit a response
in writing. She did state that she needs to plans and calibrations that were submitted to
South Florida water Management as soon as possible.
Mike Sanchez reiterated City Council was not happy with the drawings at they saw of the
new school and would like the applicant to consider more articulation of the buildings.
Dan Clark suggested being creative with colors and paint to create the feeling of
articulated walls since the school board's budget does not call for elaborate design.
Mike Sanchez explained the timeframe and told the applicant that and they need their
comments in by April 26 in order for staff to review the comments and present them to
the Planning and Zoning Board by May 9, 2006.
The meeting ended at 3:55 PM.

Re: DRC Comments: Petition CUMJ- o6- 03 -03: Palm Beach Gardens High School Modernization
Cc: Michael J. Sanchez, Planning Manager - Growth Management Department
Applicant
I have reviewed the above - referenced petition and have the following comments:
1. Public schools are categorized as conditional use in the Public /Institutional (P /I) zoning
district. Staff recommends that the applicant demonstrate compliance with criteria for major
conditional uses outlined in Section 78 -52 of the City's Land Development Regulations (LDRs).
2. Based on the meeting with applicant on March 12th, if applicant proposes improvements that
do not meet City code, staff recommends a change in application to Planned Unit Development
(PUD) including a request for waivers. It is important to note that William T. Dwyer High
School was approved as a PUD.
3. In accordance with Section 78 -144 of the LDR, the maximum building height allowed in
Public /Institution zoning district is 45 feet. The applicant proposes a building height of 63 feet.
A waiver (if rezoned to PUD overlay district) may be requested to allow said proposed building
height.
4. The applicant shall reflect building heights on all building elevations.
5. Staff recommends that the applicant meet with the City Forester in order to review the site
planting plan to negotiate landscape improvements.
6. The applicant shall provide parking information as required by Section 78 -345 of the City's
Land Development Regulation (LDRs) (number of students, number of classrooms, office
square footage) so that it can be determined whether parking is consistent with City code.
4/17/2006
Page 2 of 3
7. Applicant shall clearly delineate all building numbers (including Building # 4) on the site plan.
8. As of this date, the temporary use of City facilities available for school athletics is unresolved.
Applicant shall meet with the appropriate City staff to identify athletic facilities that will be used
during the construction period.
9. The applicant shall provide required documentation to prove ownership of the 5o' wide strip of
land along the east property line. Applicant shall be aware that the northern o.10 acre parcel of
land is owned by the City. If district intends to use said parcel staff recommends that applicant
request the same in writing from the Mayor and City Council through the City Manager.
10. Applicant shall provide required documentation of final agreement between applicant and City
in regards to the use of said o.10 acre parcel.
11. Staff is not in support of the proposed westernmost ingress /egress access off Lilac Street due to
close proximity to existing residential properties.
12. The applicant shall be aware that an eleven by seventeen (ii x 17) colored three - dimensional
perspective of the major building elevations are required to be submitted prior to a hearing
before the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board.
13. The applicant shall identify the colors and building materials on the building elevations.
14. The applicant shall submit elevations for all buildings including building six (6).
15. The applicant shall provide a photometric plan for review prior to scheduling this petition for
review by the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board.
16. Applicant shall provide staff with a status of the review of the Traffic Operation Analysis study
by the County's Traffic Engineering Division.
17. Discussion is needed relative to the submittal deadlines for PZAB.
18. As mentioned in City Attorney Christine Tatum's letter, dated April 3rd, the proposed design of
the school building contains large expanses of blank walls with no articulation or attractive
design features. It appears to have a negative impact on the adjacent properties. Staff
recommends that applicant revise said architectural and design features (please see attached
letter from City Attorney, dated April 6, 20o6).
19. Consistency with City's Comprehensive Plan- In reviewing this site plan application submitted
by the applicant on January 20, 2oo6, we have identified comprehensive plan consistency issues
that we would like to bring to your attention. The following policies from the City of Palm Beach
Gardens Comprehensive Plan appear to be applicable to the School plan and must be further
analyzed with additional information from the District before a determination of consistency
may be made. Although the District has not requested such a determination, we are providing
this information to assist in further review and coordination regarding the School.
I. Future Land Use Policy 1.1.7.(g). This policy requires adequate parking and onsite traffic
circulation to satisfy current and projected site - generated vehicular demand. The District has
not provided the information regarding the amount of office space or the number of classrooms
in order for the City to determine if the parking is adequate according to the City standards.
II. Public School Facilities Policy 11.1.4.3. This policy requires the site to be suitable or adaptable
in accordance with applicable water management standards. The District has not provided
4/17/2006
Page 3 of 3
sufficient information regarding the proposed water management system in order for the City to
determine if the water management system is suitable or adaptable in accordance with those
standards (please see attached memorandum from LBFH, Inc., dated April 6, 2oo6).
III. Public School Facilities Policy 11.1.4.6. This policy requires coordination between the
District and the City for the collocation of public facilities as development plans are prepared.
The City would like to retain the opportunity for further discussion with the District on this
issue.
IV. The maximum building height within the "Public" land -use category is 50 feet. The applicant
is proposing 63 feet. If the Comprehensive Plan height requirement is not met, staff
recommends a change in application to Planned Unit Development (PUD) including a request
for height waivers.

From: Officer Jules Barone
Ref: Petition CUMJ- 06- 03 -03: Palm Gardens High School Modernization
Date: 03/30/06
Comments: Schools and other institutions present their own unique challenges to

10. Doors:
• Entry doors should open outward versus inward.
• All exterior doors shall be equipped with security hinges.
• All strike areas of perimeter doors shall be equipped with
reinforced, case hardened strike plate.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: JOYCE CAI
FROM: LIEUTENANT SPENCER
DATE: 1/26/06
SUBJECT: PALM BEACH GARDENS HIGH SCHOOL MODERNIZATION
A review of the current site plan for the proposed Palm Beach Gardens High School has been
completed with the following comments:
➢ Reconfiguration of Lilac Street at the intersection of Military Trail should include an
exclusive left and an exclusive right turn lane. This is extremely important to maintain
adequate traffic flow and eliminate stacking on Lilac Street.
➢ Install a signalization on demand device at the intersection of Military Trail and Lilac
Street to be only utilized for designated school hours and night time extra curricular
activities. Gaining access onto Military Trail (particularly southbound access) is very
difficult and unsafe under the current configuration.
➢ Eliminate the designated student ingress and egress point currently denoted on the site
plan between two apartment buildings. Students should utilize the designated faculty and
visitor ingress and egress location for access to and from their student parking area.
➢ Install a six foot wall along the west, east and south perimeter of the Garden Villas
apartment complex. Doing so will greatly restrict unauthorized users from accessing the
apartment complex property.

Memo to File:
To: Keehren Richards, Planner
From: Mark Hendrickson, City Forester M )A_
Subject: Palm Beach Gardens High School
Date: March 28, 2006
I have reviewed the landscape plan for the above - referenced project and provide the
following comments:
• The landscape plan does not meet City code and should not be approved as
submitted. The petitioner states they do not have to meet City code. The
following landscape designs /issues need to be addressed prior to Cty approval:
1. The eastern building setback is proposed at 2 % feet from the current
property line. I do not agree that the 50 -foot wide property owned by the
MacArthur Foundation and contains a City drainage pipe should be used
for school improvements other than drainage. The land is proposed to
include the required landscape buffer which is in conflict with the
drainage use. No required landscaping should be placed in a drainage
easement. The project should be redesigned to not include this property.
2. There is no foundation landscaping proposed along the eastern side of the
building. All of the proposed landscaping is within the 50 -foot wide
drainage easement, which does not meet the minimum the City's buffer
requirements,
3. The parking lot does not have the required shade trees in islands every
nine parking spaces. This is a huge field of parking without trees, which
is much closer to the residential units to the north of the site.
4. There is no buffer landscaping proposed along Lilac Street in the
northwest corner all the way to the Lilac Street Townhouses. This should
be corrected.
5. There is no buffer proposed along the back side of the residential lots in
the southwest corner all the way to Holly Drive. This should be
corrected.
6. Other than the above issues, no landscape data or specification was
provided.
• The petitioner is proposing off -site landscaping within two ingress /egress areas
owned by the City. The driveway leading directly to the parking area does not
exist today. I believe the proposed landscaping will not be allowed to be
installed because of the Seacoast water lines and drainage system, which will
create a conflict. This is a pedestrian walkway currently and should remain for
only the use of pedestrians because a new driveway will not be able to be
screened from the two adjacent residential developments adequately. I am also
concerned about who will be responsible for the irrigation and maintenance of
these areas.
• Based on the little information provided on the landscaping design, I believe
there are potentially major long -term maintenance problems associated with the
proposed design, as follows:
1. I do not recommend "large shade trees" next to the basketball /volleyball
courts and track.
2. Please provide potential locations of root barriers where tree roots may be
a problem for sidewalks and infrastructure.
3. Please provide an irrigation system plan.
4. The landscape material should be based on, the City's preferred plant list
or as much native as possible.
• The building is set back from Holly Drive a good distance, but the landscaping
does little to break up the three story build because there is a huge retention pond
( #2) proposed south of the building.
• Please identify all signage. The pole sign along Military Trail with
interchangeable scrip is not allowed by City code.
• The City has had a long standing problem with people parking along Holly Drive
and abusing the road shoulder. Please indicate that the school will be repairing
all the dead grass areas and establishing a no parking areas or improve Holly
Drive by providing on- street parking similar to MacArthur Boulevard in front of
Duncan Middle School.
• Please provide road shoulder landscaping for Military Trail and Holly Drive with
irrigation and maintenance per City Code.
