REGULAR MEETING
July 11, 2006
MINUTES
The Regular Meeting of the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board of the City of Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, was called to order by Chair Craig Kunkle at 6:30 P.M. in the Council
Chambers of the Municipal Complex, 10500 North Military Trail, Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida, and opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
REPORT BY INTERIM GROWTH MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR
Michael Sanchez, Planning Manager reported approvals by City Council since the last
meeting included the last phase of Village Square and conditional use for the Vavrus
property.
Brad Wiseman, Planning Manager reviewed Downtown at the Gardens previous approvals
and presented field research explaining how approved waivers and administrative approvals
had affected the project.
Mr. Sanchez reviewed Legacy Place previous approvals, and administrative approval
requests that had been approved and denied. Photos of the project were presented. Changes to
• particular buildings were discussed.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: JUNE 27, 2006
Mr. Kanel noted board discussions were not included in the minutes of the June 27, 2006
meeting. Mr. Solomon responded that a few meetings ago it had been explained that the
audio tape would be the official record, and the minutes would not be the full text. It was
confirmed by staff that both the recording and the minutes were available to the public.
Concerns expressed were that with only summary minutes that City Council would not be
aware of the board's comments since they would probably not listen to the recording, and
that recording from another meeting had not been available when requested by the public.
Staff explained that the City Council staff reports listed all the board's comments, all of the
issues raised by the board, explained how the applicants had addressed each of those
comments, and included a staff analysis of those revisions. Mr. Solomon recommended that
an introductory paragraph of a sentence or two be included at the beginning of each of the
minutes to let readers know the minutes did not contain the full text and there was a verbatim
record available. Chair Kunkle requested that be done for these minutes and that approval be
deferred until that was done.

Donaldson Hearing provided a presentation on behalf of the applicant. In response to
concerns raised by the board, Jim Griffin, representing the developer, explained one entity
would provide all property maintenance, and that the City Attorney had reviewed the
condominium document.
Vice Chair Present declared the public hearing open. Sally Benson, former member of the
condo association board, expressed concern regarding what effect a replat would have and
and requested that the board defer approval or add a condition to protect current unit owners.
Preston Teals, President of the current association, recommended approval by the members
of the association occur before presentation to City Council. Mr. Griffin clarified this request
was only for a plat of phase II and that it was already a condition of approval that a building
permit or CO could not be received until parcel 2 was a part of the condominium. Hearing no
further comments from the public, Vice Chair Present declared the public hearing closed.
The City Attorney indicated she was comfortable that this item should proceed.
MOTION:
Mr. Solomon made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of Petition PUDA-

• OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Rubins requested an update on the high school. Mr. Sanchez noted the City
Council had approved a new school for Mirasol, and the School District had indicated
they were still working on the elevations for the high school, therefore the anticipated
construction date had been pushed back.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Pennell asked if the signage at Donald Ross Village had been approved by this board or
administratively, since he felt some of the signs were not of the quality seen for some of the
other recent projects. Staff indicated a report could be provided at the next meeting. Dodi
Glas reported there had been a master signage program but there had been some waivers.
The City Attorney reminded the board that PZAB workshops were now noticed and
conducted as public hearings.
Steven Mayer, new Senior Planner, was introduced to the board.
Mr. Present clarified the first agenda item for approval of the commercial van had been an
old one and the public might not know that, and asked that be clarified in the future for
• benefit of the public. Mr. Kanel asked how the code addressed trucks, since they were now
used much more than in the past for every day use. Staff clarified that the code in regard to
commercial vehicles had been addressed within the last 2 -3 years, and that the particular van
in tonight's case had a roof rack.
