Public Hearing/Recommendation to City Council
Petition LU- 99 -02: Soverel Harbour Future Land Use Map Amendment
A request by Hank Skokowski, Agent, for a Future Land Use Map amendment from a future land
use designation of Commercial (C) to a future land use designation of Mixed Use (AM) for a Z 5-
acre site- The site is located on PGA Boulevard appraximately 114 mile east of Prosperity Farms
Road (5- 42S -43E)
Principal Planner Kim Glas Castro reviewed the staff report, and clarified items for the members of the
Board.
Hank Skokowski, agent for the petitioner, presented a graphic depicting the site and surrounding area,
described uses for those areas, and requested the ability to integrate residential use into the now solely
• commercial use for this site.
Chair Charming declared the Public Hearing open. Hearing no comments from the public, Chair
Charming declared the Public Hearing closed. Mr. Skokowski responded to questions from the Board
that a standard hotel could now be built but no residential units either single - family or multi - family. Mr.
Solomon commented he had no problems with the change but noted ingress/egress of traffic would be
a challenge. Mr. Solomon requested the applicant bring back pictures of curb cuts and access in and out
of PGA Boulevard and information regarding the rights of adjacent property residents to cross this
property. Mr. Kunkle questioned whether the western neighbor had indicated cooperation for access
from Prosperity Farms Road, to which Mr. Skokowski responded that although there were certain rights
between some property owners but he was unsure whether they extended over the entire site. Mr.
Skokowski explained that traffic use should be favorably impacted by the requested change in the land
use; which would be specifically addressed when an application was submitted, and height limitations
would be considered under a PUD application. Mr. Skokowski indicated that although the Board should
not rely on what the owner might do since this request was just for a change in land use, the owner was
considering a number of different kinds of uses including a marina or a development that continued to
incorporate boats and boat storage but in a totally redeveloped fashion that would allow it to work well
with residential use.
Mr. Solomon made a motion to recommend to the City Council approval of Petition LU -99 -02.
Mr. Kunkle seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous 6-0 vote. Mr. Glidden did not vote
because of conflict of interest.

Petition PUD- 99 -14: BellSouth Expansion
Rod A. Feiner, Esquire, agent for BellSouth, is requesting planned unit development approval for

the expansion of a telephone switching station. The proposed expansion will increase the size of the
existing building from a 23,094 square foot one -story building to a 47,231 square foot two-story
building. The site is on the south side of RCA Boulevard approximately 0.2 mile east of the
intersection of RCA Boulevard and Alternate AIA. (7- 42S -43E).
Planner John Lindgren reviewed the staffreport and reported staffrecommended approval with the seven
conditions of approval in the report; however, two conditions had not yet been finalized. Condition 1,
regarding culverting of the ditch, was still being worked out between staff, Public Works, and the
engineer. Mr. Lindgren reported that Condition 5 had been re- worded to convey right -of -way along the
south side of RCA Boulevard to Palm Beach County. Mr. Lindgren advised that staff recommended
approval of the three requested waivers. In response to questions from Chair Channing, Mr. Lindgren
explained that the applicant was agreeable to culverting the drainage ditch, that no sidewalk was provided
because it would have to be torn up.
Attorney Dick Koker explained he was standing in for Rod Feiner, and understood that BellSouth would
pay the City for the necessary culvert, which funds would be used by the City when they installed culvert
in that entire area. Ms. Williams commented that she liked the plan. Mr. Glidden questioned why the
two arches were different heights, styles, and dimensions, to which the architect, Ted Rew, responded
the arches were the same width and extra banding had been provided on the arch over the front entrance
• to make it more dominant. Mr. Rew explained that the screen wall around the equipment was sixteen
feet tall. Mr. Glidden commented he liked what had been done but did not know why the arches did not
match in height. Mr. Kunkle questioned who would be responsible for maintenance of the wall being
built by DiVosta, to which the response was that there was a joint agreement for the maintenance. Mr.
Kunkle requested the Royal Palms fronting the building and street to be uniform heights of 24' overall
rather than staggered heights as called for on the plans, to which the petitioner agreed. Chair Channing
questioned the design of the banding on the arch, which was explained by the architect. Mr. Glidden
commented he favored the same height. Discussion ensued, after which the Architect agreed to make
the arches match in height. Mr. Glidden clarified for staff that both arches had the same spring line and
the top of the front arch would be approximately the same height as the side arch.
Chair Channing declared the Public Hearing open. Hearing no comments from the public, Chair
Channmg declared the Public Hearing closed.
Mr. Glidden made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of Petition PUD -99 -14
with the following conditions:
1. Prior to construction plan approval, the applicant shall replace the drainage ditch
on the north side of the subject site with a culvert if recommended by the City
Engineer.

Petition SP-99-15.- Anspach Effort Parking Lot F.Vansion
Mr. Jack Potrekus, agent for William E. Anspach, Jr., of Anspach Effor4 is seeking a site plan
amendment to allow for the expansion of a parking lot by 37 spaces. The subject site is 7.0 acres and
is at the southwest corner of the intersection of Riverside Drive (West Park Drive) and Northcorp
Parkway. (7- 42S -43E)
is Because ofthe unexpected early timing ofpresentation ofthis petition, the agent for the petitioner was
not yet present. Staff advised that ifthe petition was approved as submitted there would be no problem;
however, if there were any changes the petitioner must be heard. Principal Planner Tim Norquest
presented the request. Stacking was discussed. Mr. Glidden commented he was willing to let it slide but
that there was no need for dead end parking and described how the parking lot could be configured to
hold the same number of cars without the dead end parking, which increased stacking. Mr. Norquest
confirmed that in order to increase the existing space the applicant also had to increase drainage, for
which the calculations had been approved by the City Engineer. Chair Channing inquired whether the
petitioner was familiar with the three conditions in the staffreport, to which Planner Norquest responded
there was a letter in the file briefing the petitioner. Sidewalks were discussed. It was clarified that there
were no existing sidewalks and new 5' sidewalks had been agreed to by the petitioner. Chair Charming
announced that the petitioner was not present; however, could object if he had a problem with the
approval.
Mr. Nedvins made a motion to recommend approval of SP-99-15 to the City Council with the
following conditions:
1. The equipment exposed on the eastern side of the building which fronts Riverside
Drive shall be screened per Resolution 47, 1992, and to the satisfaction of the City

into account the existing oak trees around the existing southern detention area, and
design the expansion of said area to avoid these trees. If this requirement cannot
be accomplished, any oak tree in conflict with the proposed detention area
expansion shall be relocated.
3. The four -foot wide sidewalks at the southwest end of the existing parking lot on the
north side of the building, and at the eastern side of the proposed/existing parking
lot on the western side of the building, must be a minimum of five feet (5') wide in
accordance with LDR Section 62 -2202 and also to accommodate the American
Disabilities Act (ADA).
Mr. Kunkle seconded the motion, which carried by 6-1 vote, with Mr. Glidden opposed because
he felt the parking lot could have been worked out without the dead end.
