Recommendation to City Council: Petition SP -97 -18 - MacArthur Center
Office Bui 1 dins -
A request by Stiles Corporation, applicant, for a site plan approval
of a 76,112 square foot office building located within the Regional
Center Development of Regional Impact (DRI). The 5.31 acre site is
generally located at the northeast corner of PGA Boulevard and
Pairchild Gardens Avenue. (5-42S-43S)
Principal Planner Marty Minor reviewed the staff report dated January
13, 1998.
Jeff Lis, Stiles Corporation, introduced team members present on
behalf of the petitioner, including Ray Hensler, Senior Development
Manager for the project. Mr. Lis explained that the lead tenant would
be a well - recognized lending institution. Mr. Hensler announced that
• he would answer any questions regarding the project. Mr. Paganini
questioned the type of building materials, to which Mr. Hensler
responded that the roof was a standing seam metal deck roof, and
described the walls as polished granite on the bottom story and buff
color on the higher stories, with coquina banding. Mr. Hensler
indicated that mechanical units on top of the building would be
screened by the parapet, and explained that if covered parking was
done it would have a metal deck roof consistent with the building roof
and steel framing which would be covered with stucco. Principal
Planner Minor clarified that the covered parking would be included in
any approval by the Board, even though the petitioner might decide
against including that parking. Mr. Hensler explained that the
generator enclosure would consist of walls higher than the generator
and would include landscaping. Hr. Hensler described the traffic
circulation pattern for the financial institution's drive - through
area. Mr. Glidden requested that the roof plan reflect the areas in
front and back encroaching into the mansard roof; and recommended that
the maximum lighting be reduced to the satisfaction of staff.
Principal Planner Minor explained that since the completed Burger King
project had lighting much brighter than anticipated, staff had become
very sensitive to high footcandles numbers on lighting plans and
immediately requested that those numbers be lowered. Mr. Minor

advised the Board that staff was currently working on comprehensive
lighting regulations. Mr. Hensler explained that a location would be
created for sculpture, which would be approved by the Art in Public
Places committee. Mr. Glidden commented that the designated curb cuts
did not coordinate with ingress /egress across the street. Mr.
Channing stated he would like to see a sample of the roof color since
it had been described as a patina lighter than shown in the rendering;
Chair Carlino explained that the City Council would require exact
material samples. Mr. Hensler explained that the roof was
manufactured in a solid color called patina which he described as sea
green, and that a committee at the MacArthur Foundation was reviewing
the colors. Mr. Channing commented that the proposed landscaping
would hide much of the granite on the first story of the building, and
that the proposed oak trees should be installed at 161 to 181 rather
than the 12' proposed. Mr. Hensler explained that the landscaping was
intended to provide a visual barrier of the parking lot from PGA
Boulevard. Discussion ensued regarding how the landscaping might be
changed, and the fact that this project was before the Board for the
first time. Mr. Channing expressed concern that the Board was not
able to see a sample of the roof material.

Principal Planner Marty Minor reviewed the staff report dated January
13, 1998.
Steve Tendrich, agent for the petitioner, explained that Seacoast
Utility and Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District both had
easements on the project property where they needed truck access and
would not allow landscaping. Mr. Tendrich explained that four units
were being added to phase one and four units were being deleted from
phase two. Mr. Glidden questioned whether staff was comfortable with
the landscape plan, to which Mr. Minor responded that both he and City
Forester Mark Hendrickson had visited the site and were satisfied.
Mr. Paganini commented that he wanted to be sure concerns expressed
by residents of The Island, Dunbar Woods, and Prestwich Chase had been
met. Mr. Minor explained that those concerns had been addressed by
addition of a fence. Mr. Tendrich explained that the fencing was
temporary and would be replaced by permanent landscaping when
construction was completed, and that the landscaping would exceed the
amount previously approved. Mr. Tendrich verified that he was
familiar with all of the proposed conditions of approval.

Henry Skokowski, agent for the petitioner, introduced Keith Spino,
Architect with Oliver and Glidden Architects. On the plans, Mr.
Skokowski noted existing oak and pine trees which would be preserved
on the site, and described other existing plant material as well as
new landscaping proposed near the building. Mr. Skokowski explained
that roof - mounted equipment would be screened by a 7' parapet wall so
that none of the equipment would be visible from I -95. Mr. Spino
described the building architecture, and presented a materials sample
board. Mr. Skokowski explained that the petitioner was requesting a
waiver of the requirement regarding the dimensions of parking stalls
so that 911 x 18.5" parking stalls could be used, and a waiver of the
requirement for loading spaces of 121 x 35, to allow one space at 12,
x 351 and one space at 121 x 18.611. Mr. Skokowski discussed signage
and a requested waiver of the sign side setback requirement. Mr.
Skokowski explained that four tenant signs were requested; however,
only two signs would be visible at one time. Mr. Minor commented that
Building Official Hanson would need to verify the signage. Mr.
Skokowski reported that a major tenant had been secured for a 20,000
square foot space, and the remaining space could be divided to
accommodate three other tenants if necessary, which was the reason
four tenant signs were requested. Mr. Skokowski described road
• elevations and visibility from I -95; and Mr. Spino explained that a
roof - mounted heat pump would provide fresh air into the building. Mr.
Pastore recommended that additional screening be provided on the
southern and eastern property lines; and questioned what was driving
the location of the dumpster, to which Mr. Skokowski responded the
traffic circulation pattern was the determining factor in the
dumpster's location.
There was no old business to come before the Commission.
