Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council - Petition PUD -98 -06 Marina Gardena (f.k.a. soverel North Townhomes) A request by Urban Design Studio, agent for High Field Ltd., Inc., for planned unit development (PUD) approval of a 63 -unit townhome project. The 7.26 -acre site is located approximately 500 feet to the east of the intersection of Prosperity Farms Road and Idlewild Road, on the south side of Idlewild Road. (5- 42S -43E) • Planner John Lindgren reviewed the staff report dated December 8, 1998, and reviewed the petitioner's objections to proposed conditions. Mr. Nedvins expressed his opinion that there were too many conditions and most of the items should be resolved before the petition was presented to the Planning and Zoning Commission. It was clarified that the only portion of condition 13 that the applicant objected to was adding a landscape strip on both sides of the pedestrian walkway. Principal Planner Marty Minor explained the City would have more control when dealing with the Homeowners Association than with individual property owners. Henry Skokowski, representative for the petitioner, explained that particularly because of the seasonal nature of this project the HOA would be responsible for all landscaping and irrigation, which he believed could be inserted in the HOA documents. Mr. Skokowski provided an overview of the project in which he explained the petitioner believed this was an upgrade to the property development and time had been spent discussing the project with the neighbors. The property, formerly zoned for commercial, was now residential. Drainage on Idlewild Road would be upgraded working with Palm Beach County, and Mr. Skokowski reported the County supported the project. Mr. Skokowski explained the petitioner's objection to condition one • 2 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes December 8, 1998 regarding installing curbing to protect landscaping along the driveways and requested staff reconsider the request for curbing. Mr. Skokowski explained that since 100% of the property would be maintained by the HOA, there was no need to designate specific widths of easements as called for in conditions 2 and 3. Mr. Skokowski explained the intent of condition 6 was that upon completion of the project a sidewalk be added on the south side from the project entrance on Idlewild Road to Prosperity Farms Road; however, there was less green space on the south side than the north side, and a sidewalk on Idlewild Road would service people living there rather than those living in this project. Mr. Skokowski suggested the City obtain input from the residents on Idlewild Road as to whether they would like a sidewalk or preferred the green space. In regard to condition 13, Mr. Skokowski explained that although the petitioner agreed to move the buildings as requested and to delineate the paver driveways and pedestrian areas, the result would not be as desirable for residents because of additional maneuvering necessary to get out of their driveways. Growth Management Director Manning stated staff would be happy to sit down with the petitioner to hear alternatives to the curbing proposed in condition one; that regarding conditions 2 and 3 the City desired a single entity to work with in case the landscaping died and proposed language be developed to achieve the same goals • without an easement; and that regarding the sidewalk in condition 6 the issue for staff was that use patterns in the area indicated pedestrian traffic from residences in the area to Prosperity Farms Road. Mr. Skokowski reported the wall had been changed and softened with palms. Chair Channing declared the public hearing open. Mr. Lee Ericson located his house in relation to the project and explained he and his neighbors had no information regarding the project. Mr. Ericson expressed concern regarding the possible impact from lighting, location of the wall, protection of existing homes during construction, and additional traffic created by the project. Mr. Ericson suggested changing the speed limit and installing speed bumps. Growth Management Director.Manning commented that notification of neighboring property owners had been properly accomplished. Katherine Cating stated the residents had not been given the information they were concerned would impact their homes and did not understand what was happening. Ms. Cating expressed concern that the project would negatively impact their drainage and reported prior flooding. Patricia Cating clarified there had been two meetings with the petitioner but questions were not answered, and read from a letter questions and the answers provided which did not provide the desired information, especially how the elevation would impact drainage. Mr. Lee Ericson commented existing drains were insufficient, pointed out areas which presently flooded so that residents could not get out, and expressed his opinion that the new development would have the same • 3 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes December 8, 1998 problem and residents would not be able to get out. Growth Management Director Manning agreed there was a very severe existing drainage problem and the City Engineer was aware of this and had taken it into consideration for the new project, and the County had plans in progress to fix the drainage on Idlewild Road. Ms. Manning advised residents should contact the County for drainage improvement information. Herb Alpost, Chief Financial Officer and member of the Board of Directors for Soverel Harbor Association, explained he represented the Board and the 144 unit owners who completely endorsed the project which they believed would enhance their property. Mr. Skokowski explained some questions had not been answered because the answers were not yet known, especially regarding drainage, and they were waiting for the County to finish their design; and stated the petitioner was willing to place the sidewalk on the side of the roadway preferred by residents, and explained the street would not be widened. Ms. Carlino did not see the need for curbing but did want the sidewalk and had no preference as to on which side of the road it was located. Mr. Glidden agreed with Ms. Carlino regarding curbing and thought the sidewalk should be on the project side of the road. The walls between rear yards and the landscaping areas were clarified, which would have • gates for maintenance access. Mr. Glidden requested the wording of 15 feet be removed and that item 2 be re- phrased to read that the rear yard areas be under common maintenance, and that staff provide the appropriate language. Mr. Glidden expressed his opinion that the paver delineation should be deleted. Mr. Glidden commented the 3- story building "A" had blank side elevations which needed to be softened with landscaping and suggested the City Forester look at that situation. Richard Jones, Architect for the project, discussed the floor plan. Mr. Glidden recommended language be included to address that issue and require illustrative drawings for presentation to City Council. Mr. Nedvins expressed favor for the sidewalk and elimination of the curb. Mr. Glidden commented that the drainage issue would be addressed with the building of this project. Mr. Solomon commented it should be assured this project would not make drainage for Idlewild Road residents any worse than it already was. Mr. Solomon agreed with petitioner regarding conditions 1, 2, and 3; but expressed concern regarding the closeness of the buildings and the small front setbacks. Mr. Masters questioned Joe Pike, project consultant on the drainage issue, to provide peace of mind to the residents regarding the drainage issue and stressed the importance of understanding the relative elevations between the lake, crown of the road, and neighborhood housing across the street. Mr. Pike verified that Idlewild Road residents could hook up to the sanitary sewer system, and explained the on -site drainage would be created in a bowl so that no drainage would leave the site and water that had previously flowed from that site to Idlewild Road would be eliminated. Mr. Pike • 4 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes December 8, 1998 explained the common drainage system which was planned by the County. Some additional landscaping would be done at the County's request. Minimum setbacks were described by Mr. Skokowski, and explained screen enclosures would be prohibited.

The applicant is also requesting approval for a proposed edu -care facility. The former YMCA site will be used for a 12,000 square foot edu -care facility, a 32,000 square foot media - technology training facility, and a 2,300 square foot central chiller area. A 9,750 square foot theatre training facility is also being proposed, which would expand the existing theatre. The 14.6 -acre site is located on the northwest corner of Campus Drive and RCA Boulevard, just south of Fairchild Avenue. (6- 42S -43E) Principal Planner Marty Minor presented the staff report dated December 8, 1998. Parking and vehicle sequence of the four phases were clarified for Mr. Glidden. Joel Logan, MPA Architects, distributed and reviewed revised landscape elevations. Chair Channing declared the public hearing open. Richard Burl, 1120 Monet Woods, explained his property abutted the project property and objected to the architecture of the auditorium, • lack of landscape maintenance by the college, drainage problems which impacted his property, noise from mechanical equipment and alarm system, lighting, lack of sidewalk along RCA, and expressed concern that his property had been de- valued $10,000 and he expected further devaluation. Larry Collins, 3259 RCA Boulevard, adjacent to the property, expressed concern for the vehicular access and suggested moving the access onto Campus Drive; expressed concern for drainage overflow through the RCA ditch which could cause a major flood on his property. Mr. Collins stated his concern was water coming from the north to the south through a 14" rubber pipe under the street. Mr. Collins stated he was happy with the landscape area. Mr. Collins expressed concern that the traffic circle would become a raceway at night, and asked that all lighting in the parking lot be directed to the east. Ms. Sergeant, 1144 Monet Woods Road, explained her property backed up to the pond area and explained the college's property did not drain properly and was not maintained, and expressed concern that addition of berms could cause flooding on her property. Chair Channing declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Logan explained drainage problems and how the petitioner was working with South Florida Water Management District to improve the situation, and stated the residents' concerns would be addressed. A • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes December 8, 1998 wall was proposed around the chiller to reduce noise. Lighting spill from parking lot would be directed down to avoid spillover to residential areas. Diane Carlino left the meeting at 8:45 p.m. A representative from the college expressed concern and commented he had not known of the maintenance problems and would see that the situation was corrected, and explained what the college was doing to alleviate drainage problems. Diane Carlino returned to the meeting at 8:50 p.m. Mr. Rauch questioned whether the wall could be solid to help retain water, to which Mr. Logan responded that South Florida Water Management required a berm to contain water on the property which created a problem by not allowing water on the residents' property to drain off, and this issue would be looked at further. Mr. Nedvins questioned how much staff review towards drainage in existing residential areas was done, to which Mr. Minor responded he would request the City Engineer look at the drainage again. Mr. Nedvins expressed his opinion that it was incumbent upon the City to assure that residents were not impacted by drainage problems created by new development before any certificates of occupancy for new projects were issued. Mr. Brough, Palm Beach County Community College representative, described the areas of drainage which had been improved; and explained the air conditioning unit at the theater would be placed inside a building during a future phase. Mr. Solomon commented there would probably always be problems with a residential project so close to a commercial development, and recommended the college beef up activities in terms of screening noise and lighting and security aspect of kids hanging out. Mr. Solomon agreed with a traffic exit point onto RCA Boulevard, and expressed his opinion that this was a good project and would be a desirable addition to the community. Mr. Masters recommended the City Engineer and the County issue a report to the neighbors to provide them with a comfort level regarding how current conditions compared to those in 1995 when the area had flooded. Mr. Masters commented there was an acoustical standard which must be followed and measurements could be taken to assure the standard was met. Mr. Channing requested and received clarification that staff could see that the parking lot lights were directed downward and the noise ordinance followed. Mr. Channing recommended that the petitioner demonstrate they were not causing any harm by addition of the berm. Diane carlino made a motion to recommend approval of PUD -98 -08 to the . 9 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • December 8, 1998 City Council with the following conditions: 1.

The subject property is located on the west side of Prosperity Farms Road just south of its intersection with RCA Boulevard. (8- 42S -43E) Ted Rauch stepped down due to conflict of interest. Alternate Daniel Lee Cruz sat in Mr. Rauch's place. • Principal Planner Marty Minor reviewed the staff report dated December 8, 1998. Chair Channing returned to the meeting at 9:05 p.m. Mr. Glidden commented that the only possible way to fit two buildings onto the site totaling 32,500 square feet would be if they were designed as two rectangular boxes. Mr. Minor explained that the 32,500 square feet was considered the maximum footprint size. Mr. Cruz expressed concern regarding the buffer and commented it appeared the southernmost parking space at Building 2 on the west side was inaccessible to a turning vehicle. Henry Skokowski addressed the building envelope limitation and explained the code allowed for a 2' roof overhang. Wherever there was a roof overhang outside the building envelope line underneath that overhang there would be landscaping, the only exceptions being where there was an entrance door. Mr. Skokowski explained it was anticipated that two future buildings would be two stories and one would be one story. Mr. Skokowski requested that in condition one and condition 2(e) the 15 foot minimum buffer requirement be changed to 14.31, and in condition one the 25 feet average distance from the wetland area be changed to 20 feet to reflect actual dimensions. Mr. Masters questioned whether condition 3 was acceptable to which Mr. Skokowski responded the petitioner requested deletion of the current language and replacement with language to the effect that wherever a • 11 0 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes December 8, 1998 roof overhang existed there would be landscaping under the roof overhang except over a doorway or entranceway, to which staff agreed. Mr. Glidden stated the approval should be clearly for a maximum of 32,500 square feet and the next two buildings should continue the minimum level of building articulation in a one and two story combination. Chair Channing expressed agreement with Mr. Glidden. Chair Channing declared the public hearing open. Hearing no comments from the public, Chair Channing declared the public hearing closed. Mr. Glidden made a motion to recommend approval of Petition PUD -98 -02 to the City Council with the following conditions: 1.

Workshop - Petition SP-97-OA Costako vial�Retail Building A request by Neil J. Gaeta, agent for David P. Costakos, for site plan approval of a 3,869 square foot commercial /retail building. The 0.93 - acre site is located approximately 1 mile east of the intersection of I -95 and Northlake Boulevard, on the north side of Northlake Boulevard, just to the west of High Point Drive (18- 42S -43E) Principal Planner Marty Minor reviewed the staff report dated December 8, 1998. Mr. Rauch questioned how a building with no windows could be built when the use was not known. Mr. Glidden surmised this could not be a restaurant since parking would be different for that use. Mr. Glidden questioned how stacking could be satisfied as indicated since there was 55' before reaching the drive into the property, to which Mr. Minor responded that would be brought up to the City Engineer. Mr. Glidden suggested that there be a sidewalk. Mr. Nedvins requested architectural details be added to the building, with which Mr. Masters agreed. Chair Channing expressed a preference for earth or clay tile rather than red. • 15 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes is December 8, 1998 Neil Gaeta, agent for the petitioner, explained a tower would be added and that the tile would be the same as that on Pollo Tropical. Mr. Gaeta reported light fixtures, awning, and banding had been added to match Pollo Tropical. Since there was no tenant as yet, windows would be added when the tenant was known. Mr. Gaeta explained a lot of landscaping had been added and because of the proximity of other buildings the sides would not be seen much, but the applicant was willing to do something to dress up the building. Mr. Solomon noted there were a lot of easements on the property; Mr. Gaeta reported the only easement with which there was an issue was the Seacoast Utility easement to access their lift station and the plan would accommodate that easement. Mr. Glidden questioned an easement shown that ran under the building. Jonathan Ricketts, Civil Engineer, explained that was not accurate and there was no easement under the building. Cross easements would be recorded. In regard to stacking, Mr. Ricketts explained the building had been moved back to comply with staff requirements for 80' for stacking. Mr. Solomon noted there was only approximately 55' stacking into the front parking spaces. Mr. Gaeta explained a 5' parapet would screen the rooftop mechanical equipment. Ms. Carlino requested a color sample for the awning and more landscaping on the south elevation. Mr. Cotleur, Landscape Architect, described the landscaping and pointed out this plan did not show perimeter buffers. Mr. Glidden requested typical symbols be added to • the landscape plan. Mr. Channing expressed his opinion that the landscaping was sufficient and suggested stucco channels to provide vertical building lines. Mr. Channing advised the applicant to consider the stacking comments. Mr. Nedvins questioned whether any other colors on Walgreen's and Pollo Tropical could be brought into this building. Mr. Gaeta responded the only color they had not used was peach. Mr. Nedvins commented the building needed a little more pizzazz. Mr. Glidden suggested the sidewalk be connected at the southwest corner of the site to provide a pedestrian link. Mr. Minor explained the City Forester had removed the sidewalk from the plan to allow a location for a monument sign. Mr. Glidden commented a 5' sidewalk could be installed, expressed no problem with the building but asked for reveals to be shown plainly on the plan, and suggested rainwater relievers be moved to the west side of the building. Growth Management Director Roxanne Manning commented staff would work with the petitioner before this petition was brought back. Chair Channing commented the new Stiles building on PGA Boulevard had reflective glass and he was satisfied with its appearance. Growth Management Director Manning explained the ratio of how much glass was used would be looked at when revising the code. Mr. Masters commented the use of the building and hours of operation would also play a part in the use of reflective glass. • 16 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes December 8, 1998 Mr. Nedvins requested an update on projects at the next meeting.
