Alternate Richard Masters John Nedvins Ralph Pisani Dennis Solomon Also present at the meeting were Growth Management Director Roxanne Manning, Assistant City Manager Greg Dunham, City Attorney Carole Post, City Council Liaison Carl Sabatello, City Engineer Lennart Lindahl, Nader Salour, and Principal Planner Kim Glas. Public Searing and Recommendation to City Council: Petition PCV - 9 6 - 01 Golf Diggst P® A request by Sank Slcokowski, agent for WCI Communities and 7CB Golf Ventures, for rezoning from Planned Development Area (PDA) to Planned Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • June 30, 1998 Community District (PCD). The proposed Golf Digest PCD includes 1995 residential units, 105,000 s. f. of office, 50,000 s. f. of commercial, a golf campus with training center, golf clubhouse amenities and maintenance facilities, two 18 -hole championship courses and a 9 -hole par 3 short course, 10,000 s. f. of community facility space, a city fire /police station and 15-acre city park, a 32- acre elementary and middle school site, and over 800 acres of wetland and upland preserves. The 2,305 -acre site is located north of PGA Blvd, west of Florida's Turnpike, east of the Loxahatchee Slough and south of Hood Road. (3, 4 &5 -42S -42S and 32, 33 &34 -41S -42S) Principal Planner Kim Glas reviewed the staff report dated June 30, 1998. Ms. Glas explained that although staff had not recommended a building height, 621 to the top of the penthouse, which was 541 to the top of the parapet, was offered for consideration. In regard to the school sites, staff recommended that petitioner continue discussions with, the school board, and that a written narrative be provided to staff so that a condition of approval could be formulated prior to City Council consideration. Ms. Glas explained that discussion was ongoing with Palm Beach County regarding the ultimate cross section of the through roads and if reduced from 6 lanes to 4 lanes, staff • concerns would be remedied. Discussion was also ongoing with Seacoast to resolve outstanding issues. Ms. Glas commented the petitioner had not changed their buildout date, which remained 2003. A possible access road from Hood Road immediately across from the Eastpointe entrance previously suggested by the Commission had met opposition from Eastpointe residents. Landscape, buffer, and roadway beautification plans were being postponed from consideration until within 9 months after PCD approval. Ms Glas reported staff recommended approval with 57 conditions, fifteen of which required submittal of plans or information prior to City Council consideration. Ms. Glas reviewed condition 14 which required modification of the Common Area Phasing Plan prior to City Council workshop to amend timing of improvements as stated in this condition. Ms. Glas reviewed condition 23 dealing with tree preservation outside the preserve area. Condition 32 and subsequent conditions were reviewed, which dealt with detailed plans required within nine months of PCD approval. Ms. Glas reviewed condition 44 in which staff recommended utilities be placed underground within the road right -of -way. Ms. Glas explained that condition 48, dealing with conditional concurrency certification requirements in which item (a) required no more than 10,367 net external daily trips, was proposed by staff to be redefined to wording which could be better monitored and enforced by planning staff, such as in terms of dwelling units. Ms. Glas explained that the following •2 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • June 30, 1998 sentence should be added to condition 48 (d) regarding drainage: Prior to City Council approval the conceptual surface water management plan shall be submitted for approval by the Department. Ms. Glas pointed out condition 49, which specified the number and types of lanes for each entrance. Ms. Glas explained that the disclosure conditions had been suggested by the School Board, the Department of Airports, and by the Planning & Zoning Commission. Condition 57 stated that the buildout date would be December 31, 2003. In responding to questions from the Commission, Ms. Glas stated that the conditions proposed by staff had been discussed with the developer, explained where sidewalks were proposed, that the site was 12 acres short of the required acreage for improved recreation land and therefore would provide money in lieu of the 12 acres, that recreation facilities requested would be per City design standards. City Engineer Lindahl responded to a question regarding whether the north -south road was configured in the best way as to safety and traffic flow that staff was satisfied the County, the City, and the applicant had developed the basis for a roadway design that was geometrically sound for the intended purpose and traffic volume. City Engineer Lindahl commented that conditions of approval resulting from • the traffic impact analysis were included in the staff report and the most significant "red light" was the buildout date of 2003, the traffic impacts of which were under study by the County at this point, with the probable outcome being a recommendation for a one -year extension. At the request of Mr. Channing, Mr. Lindahl provided a brief history of Jog Road and how it related to this project, and expressed his opinion that in the near future he did not foresee any of the triggers built into the Jog Road agreement being activated to make Ryder Cup Boulevard a public roadway. Mr. Lindahl commented regarding the complexity of the surface water management system and the City and other agencies which all had a vested interest in the system. Ms. Glas reviewed the location of pedestrian paths in the parkways and their connection to other areas. City Attorney Post explained the City Attorney's office had reviewed the proposed conditions of approval which would not change the substance but could result in significant technical or form changes. Chair Carlino questioned how the Commission could approve a document that would later be changed. Attorney Post responded that this was an unusual circumstance where the City in conjunction with the applicant was attempting to establish timelines that were not unreasonable, but were pushing the envelope, and felt that because the • 3 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • June 30, 1998 Planning and Zoning Commission was acting in an advisory capacity they would be accepting the substance of the recommendations, which would be adequate, and the technical form or changes that might be made would be done before the petition reached City Council, after whose approval no changes could be made. Chair Pro Tem Glidden requested that City Council Liaison Carl Sabatello come forward to discuss whether he had a sense of what the opinion of the City Council would be if the Planning & Zoning Commission let this petition proceed and allowed staff to resolve open ended issues and then bring it to the City Council. City Council Liaison Carl Sabatello came forward and explained that this procedure was normal for a project of this size, which had more than fifty conditions, and he was sure there would be more conditions before this project was approved. Mr. Sabatello explained that the Commission should understand the conditions and the overall picture but realize that all details could not be worked out at tonight's meeting, but would require technical expertise of staff. Mr. Glidden responded that he believed the Planning and Zoning Commission understood all the conditions and could probably move on, but wanted to make sure that Councilmember Sabatello understood there were some open -ended issues and also wanted to be sure that all bases had been covered. Mr. Sabatello responded he would like the • Commission to either comment on any open -ended issues for the record or make an amendment to the conditions, but to move forward to City Council any on any open ended issues on which there was consensus. Mr. Sabatello advised he could not give direction to the Commission, but as long as they were comfortable then they should make a recommendation. Henry Skokowski, agent for the petitioner, introduced others present on behalf of the petitioner, described components of the project, and compared this project to PGA National and to BallenIsles as to number of units, open space, roadways, and total areas included. Mr. Skokowski discussed maximum building heights and the petitioner's desire to maintain a 65' height if their original 70, height request was an issue. Mr. Skokowski explained that both he and Ms. Glas were very familiar with each condition and some issues had already been resolved. Mr. Skokowski indicated that buildout date could be changed to 2004 if that time extension was required by the County for traffic purposes. Construction access was explained. City Engineer Len Lindahl left the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Skokowski described the construction process and explained that fill from lake excavation would not be moved off site. Mr. Skokowski • 4 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes June 30, 1998 stated the petitioner was in the final stages of agreement with the City Manager regarding public improvements, including a new fire station. Petitioner would provide land for a 15 -acre park site. Mr. Skokowski displayed a graphic depicting the north /south parkway system, discussed the City's strict requirements for open space greenbelt corridors, and requested that the petitioner be granted flexibility in establishing the parkway. Mr. Skokowski explained that the main right -of -way would be a County road. Mr. Skokowski stated the petitioner wished the language of the conditions to be as clear and legally sufficient as possible. Mr. Masters expressed his preference for a 5 -story building which realistically would be 60' to the top of the roof, to which Mr. Skokowski responded the DiVosta building was 65' and only 4 stories, which was preferred by the petitioner. Me. Masters expressed his hope that the main road would be a 2 -lane highway. Mr. Solomon stated he had no problem with the 65' height and that flexibility for the parkway should be granted. Access to the school sites was discussed. Mr. Nedvins questioned the timetable for development of the office building, and the future of Hood Road, which were discussed. Mr. • Nedvins stated he had no problem with what was proposed. Mr. Glidden questioned the 3 -year School Board timetable to which Mr. DeSantee of Golf Digest responded he had met with Linda Hines of the School Board and learned that construction of an elementary and middle school was scheduled for the years 2000 and 2001 in this area, and if no school was built then the land would revert to commercial zoning. Ms. Glas explained that a PCD amendment would be required to accomplish the commercial zoning. Discussion ensued regarding buildout and that only infrastructure was required to be completed on the school sites before buildout of the entire project. Mr. Skokowski expressed the petitioner's opinion that they should not be obligated to make a decision today but should be able to decide in three years what plans would be made for those sites if no schools had been built. After extensive discussion, Mr. Glidden stated his position as in favor of adding additional language to the condition regarding the School Board time frame with a possible period of time beyond the 3 -year period at which time the Developer would continue to offer the site to the School Board but also open it up to private schools. Discussion ensued regarding building height. Mr. Glidden stated office buildings were being built at 13' -14' floors and he believed the petitioner would be hard pressed to get five stories. Mr. Glidden favored 60' to 651 to top of parapet. Mr. Channing had no problem with granting flexibility for the parkway, requested a pedestrian crossing at the • 5 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • June 30, 1998 eastern end, and commented the issue of building height for him was character and number of stories rather than building height. Mr. Channing complimented the petitioner on a beautiful project. Mr. Pisani questioned whether all the conditions had been reviewed by the petitioner, to which Mr. Skokowski responded they had and requested further meetings regarding the management plans in order to assure complete understanding. Mr. Pisani questioned whether the petitioner would agree to extend the 3 -year period granted to the School Board, to which Mr. Skokowski responded that it might be considered. Ms. Glas explained staff was not recommending a condition citing a 3 -year period for the School Board to construct schools, but that this issue was still under consideration and staff would make a recommendation later. Ms. Glas clarified condition 57. Mr. Nedvins recommended the time frame for the school sites be disclosed to home buyers. Mr. Pisani questioned and received clarification that the bond and security referred to in condition 57 related to phasing and not to the entire project up front. Chair Carlino declared the Public Hearing open. Siro DeGasperis, 16 Martinique Cove, President of PGA National • Property Owners Association, speaking on behalf of the Board of Directors and residents of PGA National, reported meetings had been held with the developer, and a recent meeting had been held to address dust and noise due to Northlake Boulevard work and turnpike construction entrances; and requested construction vehicles be discouraged from using Ryder Cup Boulevard. Gary Fields, Attorney representing Eastpointe Property Owners Association, Suite 700, 4400 PGA Boulevard, explained that the Eastpointe residents did not favor a direct access point out onto Hood Road from the school sites, and asked that the applicant's request be followed. Attorney Fields expressed concern on behalf of the residents regarding plans to dispose of debris by burning and the air quality effect on respiratory illnesses during this process, and requested the burns be done quickly and with proper warnings to the residents. General traffic concern for Hood Road was expressed and a request was made that traffic studies be conducted using peak traffic volumes during peak times and not summer volumes. Murray Lipkin, 6463 Brandon, President of Eastpointe Homeowners Association, expressed concern for traffic on Hood Road and that it not become a raceway. 0 6 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes June 30, 1998 Rose Marie, PGA National resident, questioned whether PGA Boulevard would be widened, and expressed traffic impact concerns and general pollution impact on the environment and nature. Bernard Goldstein, Eastpointe, questioned how school busses would access the site and what portion of the Bonnette Club would remain. There being no further public comments, Chair Carlino declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Skokowski stated that burns would be limited and there would be notification to abutting communities. Ms. Glas explained that burns would require City permits and would be monitored by the Fire Department. Ms. Glas indicated traffic had been reviewed by both the City and Palm Beach County traffic consultants, and that conditions of approval included peak hours and peak season analysis. Ms. Glas explained that PGA Boulevard was shown as six lanes on a thoroughfare plan, but that on the cost feasible MPO plan it was shown as six lanes from the east to Ryder Cup Boulevard, and from Ryder Cup Boulevard west as four lanes. Mr. Skokowski explained this project would not require increasing the number of lanes on PGA Boulevard. Mr. • Skokowski displayed a map showing 240' green space on the north side of PGA Boulevard. Ms. Glas responded to a question from a resident that there were future plans to widen Hood Road. Mr. Skokowski explained that Bonnette Hunt Club hunting operation would be relocated and Ms. Glas explained that the remaining area would continue to be used a hunting club /dinner lodge and would be subject to City regulations. Mr. Skokowski explained access to school sites. Mr. Glidden made a motion to recommend approval of Petition PCD -96 -01 to the City Council with the following conditions: Project Plans and Uses 1.
