Messier, agent for John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, representing McPhail Properties, Inc., is requesting site plan approval to construct three buildings, totalling 30,000 square feet, on a 3.9 -acre tract (formerly Gardens Lanes Bowling Alley). Located on the north side of Northlake Boulevard and immediately west of the C -17 Canal. (18- 42S -43E) Mr. Ellington reviewed the staff report dated May 18, 1995. Chairman Pro Tem Honig requested that the applicant only address those conditions with which there was disagreement. Mr. Timothy Messier, agent for the petitioner, stated that the only issue was the elevations. Mr. William Mignogna questioned whether the trees shown in the western elevation were depicted at installed height or matured height. Mr. Troy Holloway, George Gentile and Associates, Landscape Architect, explained that the shade trees were shown at 18 feet and would be installed at 12 or 14 feet, the cabbage palms were shown at installed height, other trees were shown with 2 -3 years growth, hedges were shown at 3 feet and would be installed at 2 feet. Mr. Holloway pointed out the additions to the landscaping which had been made since the last meeting. Mr. Ellington explained that the only additions had been to the east • and west sides of Boston Market and that no additional landscaping had been provided along the west side of Building A. The Committee viewed and discussed the revised floor plan for Building A and agreed that a condition be made to assure that the south elevation differential block shall have a projection of 12 inches minimum below the mansard area. Chairman Pro Tem Honig stated that the developer must be held responsible for making sure that the building colors and mansard materials were the same for both of his prime tenants. After discussion of signage, Chairman Pro Tem Honig requested that the applicant consider enlargement of the Pep Boys logo and deletion of the arrow to make that sign more elegant, and stated that Mr. McPhail must be responsible to be sure the sign colors were the same for both buildings. Mr. Chris Jones requested that additional and more balanced landscaping be provided below the mansard on the west elevation. After explanation of the Boston Market rendering, Mr. Messier explained that the sign depicted on the east side would not exist until Congress Avenue was extended, and other signage would only be allowed on the south side. Ms. Messier explained that condition 7 of the staff report might not be possible, however the applicant would try to obtain the owner's permission to remove the unused portion of the former Shadeberry Street alignment at the time of the opening of the realigned Shadeberry Street. Further discussion of Shadeberry Street ensued. Assistant City Attorney Golis recommended a written agreement between the two property owners and the developer. Mr. McPhail explained that if the Congress Avenue extension never materialized that he was protected by an easement from the MacArthur Foundation within the 104 -foot strip which was proposed for Congress is 2 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • May 23, 1995 Avenue and therefore would be able to access the median cut in line with Congress Avenue coming from the south; and also had an easement on existing Shadeberry until that median cut was established; however, when that Shadeberry easement expired he would have no control over the present owner of the Shadeberry property. After further discussion, consensus was to make Condition 7 and Condition 8 in the staff report dependent upon an agreement meeting the approval of the City Attorney. Motion: Mr. Thomas Pastore made a motion to recommend approval of Petition SP -94 -24 to the City Council, with the following conditions: 1. Prior to the petition being scheduled before the City Council, the south elevation plan for the Pep Boys building shall be revised to reflect the deletion of the "Auto Parts" and "Tires & Service" wall - mounted signs. 2.

Workshop: Petition SP- 95 -03, by Donaldson Hearing, agent for CTB Realty Ventures XVI, Inc., representing Palm Beach Community Church, XVI, Trustee, for site plan approval for the construction of a 51,000 square foot church facility. Located on Lots 8, 9, & 12 of South Park Center Plat in the Northcorp Planned Community District. (1, 12- 42S-42E & 1, 6 -42S -42E) Principal Planner Mr. Bristol Ellington reviewed the staff report dated May 18, 1995. Mr. Thomas Pastore questioned what the triggering mechanism would be for the Northcorp PCD to make improvements to Burns Road and Riverside Drive. Mr. Ellington explained that the first development within South Park Center required construction of Northcorp Boulevard from its terminus and construction of East Park Drive. Chairman Pro Tem Honig inquired whether there was a limit to how many times a project could be presented without addressing a major issue of concern by this Committee and the City Council, and whether there was a limit to the petitioner's presentation time; to which Assistant City Attorney Golis responded he knew of no such limits in the code. 0 5 • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 23, 1995 Chairman Pro Tem Honig advised Mr. Donaldson Hearing, agent for the petitioner, that he was allotted ten minutes for his presentation. Mr. Hearing stated he took offense to the opening remarks limiting the petitioner's ability to make a full presentation and stated that it was untrue that their petition was substantially the same as the prior submittal. Mr. Hearing provided history of this proposal which explained that they had been working with staff and proceeding through the process. In regard to the parking issue, Mr. Hearing commented that he believed the Committee's evaluation should center upon whether or not the 260 on -site parking spaces would be adequate to handle a future use other than for a church facility; and pointed out that since the City's Code provided for office -type uses at a ratio of four spaces per thousand square feet that the proposed 51,000 square foot church facility would only be required to provide 200 parking spaces if that facility were converted to office -type use in the future. Mr. Hearing also stated that in regard to concerns of modification to the parking agreement that Parcel E8 was part and parcel of the PUD and that it could not be changed without authorization of the City. Director Walton stated that the property could be sold. Chairman Pro Tem Daniel Honig questioned whether the Church could make an agreement to prohibit the use of lot 8 for any other purpose other than parking for the Church and was advised by Assistant City Attorney Paul Golis that a purchase of lot 8 by the Church would be more effective. Mr. Hearing responded to the suggestion that the petitioner should purchase that property that they did not see the necessity for purchasing that site since sufficient parking was located on -site with the reduced seating. Staff verified that when this petition was last submitted, this Committee had requested that the petitioner return with at least 75 % of the parking on property owned by the church. Mr. • Mignogna stated in the current submittal that it was just over 75 %. Planning and Zoning Director Walton expressed concern that the seats were reduced, but the square footage of the footprint had not been reduced sufficiently, and commented on the possibility that the office use could be changed to a theater if the property were sold, which would cause parking problems. Mr. Hearing explained that two two -story wings, a balcony, and other reductions totaling 20,000 square feet had been eliminated from the building. Mr. Mignogna suggested that the parking agreement be changed to run with the land and not with the use, to which Attorney Raymond Royce responded that he did not believe the agreement could be changed since there was no leverage to accomplish that; however, since the property was part of a PCD he believed that some sort of City approval would be necessary to accomplish a change in use. Chairman Pro Tem Honig suggested that the parking shortage could be resolved if the seating were reduced by approximately 100 seats along with some massing of the building. Discussion ensued regarding the 75% parking ratio. Attorney Royce suggested that great flexibility was allowed within a PUD and that possibly a variance could be sought, and stated that the petitioner would like the opportunity to present this applicant to the City Council. Chairman Pro Tem Honig proposed that conditions be worked out on the other issues raised by staff, a condition be placed in this petition for 75% of the parking, a condition that the parking agreement as established be accepted, and the petition be submitted for a second workshop for vote by the Committee. Mr. Chris Jones requested a presentation since he had not been present for past submittals. Chairman Pro Tem Honig requested that the Church's attorney provide a copy of the parking agreement for lot 8. Mr. Mignogna requested that Attorney Royce speak with the developer, to which Attorney Royce responded he would try again. • 6 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 23, 1995 Mr. Hearing gave a brief presentation of the petition and a brief outline of the parking agreement. During ensuing discussion, Chairman Pro Tem Honig requested that the petitioner bring color renderings of the building and its elevations to the next workshop, and suggested that the petitioner apply for a variance or an amendment to the PCD to allow for additional parking within the 15 foot landscape buffer along the east side of Lot 12, adjacent to the railroad tracks. Mr. Christopher Jones questioned whether enough space was available within the 15 foot landscape buffer for a parking area with adequately sized drive aisle. Attorney Royce suggested changing parallel spaces. Attorney Royce commented that the City had platted Lot 12 as an undevelopable lot; Director Walton responded that at that time the bank involved had requested the opportunity to present plans if a plan were conceived. There being no further discussion of this item, Chairman Pro Tem Honig closed the workshop for Petition SP- 95 -03. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION • Public Hearing: Petition CU- 94 -03, by Timothy J. Messler, agent for John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, representing McPhail Properties, Inc., is requesting conditional use approval for a 12 -bay, 22,000 square -foot tire and auto service center on a 5.2 -acre tract (formerly Gardens Lanes Bowling Alley). Located on the north side of Northlake Boulevard and immediately west of the C -17 Canal. (Pep Boys) (18- 42S -43E) Chairman Pro Tem Honig declared the Public Hearing open for Petition CU- 94 -03. There being no comments from the public, Chairman Pro Tem Honig declared the Public Hearing closed. .� Mr. Thomas Pastore made a motion to recommend approval of CU -94 -03 to City Council. The motion was seconded by Mr. Christopher Jones, and was unanimously approved by a 5 -0 vote. Public Hearing: Ordinance 7, 1995, an ordinance amending Chapter 159 of the code of Ordinances, entitled "Zoning Regulations" to create Section 159.087, entitled "Newsrack" . Because of the absence of the Chairman, who had spearheaded this item, Principal Planner Ellington recommended postponement of this item until the next meeting. • 7 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 23, 1995 Chairman Pro Tem Honig declared the Public Hearing open for Ordinance 7, 1995. There being no comments from the public, Chairman Pro Tem Honig declared the Public Hearing for Ordinance 7, 1995 continued to the next meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 13, 1995. Workshop: Petition PCD- 94 -04, by Audrey Wolf, agent for Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, to rezone a 33.7 -acre site from P /I, Public Institutional, in part, and PDA, Planned Development Area, in part, to PCD, Planned Community District. Generally located south of PGA Boulevard, west of Campus Drive, east of Fairchild Gardens Avenue, and north of the Fairchild Avenue Extension. (6- 42S -43E) Principal Planner Bristol Ellington reviewed the staff report dated May 18, 1995. Mr. Mignogna questioned how people would get to the passive parks, to which Mr. Ellington responded that the passive parks were intended for use by the people in the offices, who would walk to the parks. Chairman Pro Tem Honig inquired where sidewalks would be constructed, and was told that a sidewalk would run along Campus Drive and continue to PGA Boulevard, and that as roadways were constructed that sidewalks would be constructed with them. Mr. • Ellington explained that the east -west roadway would be constructed with Phase 2; the courthouse expansion, the interior north -south roadway, and the balance of the east -west roadway would occur at Phase 3 if the land swap for the DMV occurred with Palm Beach County. Planning and Zoning Director Walton explained that the roadway link to Fairchild Avenue had been previously laid out to prevent alignment straight through from PGA Boulevard which could have become a raceway; however, the library construction and adjacent environmental preserve had locked in the roadway position to be aligned straight from PGA Boulevard to Fairchild Avenue. Mr. Tom Paganini expressed concern that the extension of the north/south road from PGA Boulevard to Fairchild Avenue might encourage community college students to use the road as a shot -cut to their campus, thereby ruining the integrity of the passive park. Mr. Jim Barnes, Palm Beach County representative, reviewed the plan further. Mr. Daniel Honig recommended and other members of the Commission agreed that the County should provide and that plans should be revised to reflect picnic tables in the passive spaces (parks) and provide for a pedestrian connection to the passive park areas. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to recommend that the portion of the north /south road leading from the east/west road to Fairchild Avenue be deleted from the plan. Planning and Zoning Director Walton commented that a traffic study was needed before the City Engineer would provide a recommendation. Mr. Barnes explained the history of the DMV and explained that Phase 3 would not have a time certain, but would occur when DMV provided funding for moving their facility. • 8 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 23, 1995 been scheduled for the next City Council meeting if all members of the Council were present. Assistant City Manager Dunham commented that prior discussion had centered around the one year recess period. Mr. Jones commented that the real issue was that no other member of a board member's firm could make a presentation, which was a change from the requirement that a board member could not participate. Chairman Pro Tem Honig recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission draft a letter of dissent regarding the new requirement in Resolution 55, 1995, since it eliminated many qualified people in the community. Chairman Pro Tem Honig recommended that Mr. Jones draft a letter for the Board to sign declaring its unanimous opposition to this element in Resolution 55, 1995. NEW BUSINESS Chairman Pro Tem Honig expressed concern that Pulte had built a project next to Frenchman's Creek with approximately 180 homes with many children, and had provided no park or playground, and no room to place a picnic table or bench. Chairman Pro Tem Honig stated he believed it was the duty of the Planning and Zoning Commission to look at each PUD as a community and to require parks /playgrounds for future approvals, with which the other Commission members concurred. • • 12 • • Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 23, 1995 ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, upon motion by Mr. Christopher Jones, seconded by Mr. William Mignogna, and unanimously carried, the meeting was adjourned at 11:10 P.M.

Workshop: Petition PUD- 95 -01, by R.C. Rathke, agent for Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company and the Westwood Gardens Homeowner's Association, for an amendment to the Westwood Gardens /Westwood Lakes Planned Unit Development (PUD) for 47 multi- family residential dwelling units. Located on the south side of Hood Road and immediately east and west of Interstate 95. (35- 41S -42E) Principal Planner Bristol Ellington reviewed the staff report dated May 18, 1995. In response to Chairman Pro Tem Honig's inquiry, Mr. Ellington explained that the County had approved the concept but not the elevations, since their staff had the administrative authority to approve the elevations, and that it was his understanding that no elevations had been approved. Mr. Ellington explained that residents were present in the audience who had concerns regarding the project. Mr. Ray Kennedy, associate of R. C. Rathke, stated that the petitioner intended to comply with all staff requests, and explained that they had attended several board meetings of the Homeowners Association and had heard all of their concerns. Mr. Kennedy explained that to the • extent possible that the petitioner had become involved in resolution of the issues between the owner and the Homeowners Association, and that agreement on all issues must be reached between the City, the owner, the Homeowners Association, and the petitioner. Mr. R. K. Rathke explained that he did not represent Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company, that he had a contract with them to purchase the property for this project, and that he had no relationship with the Westwood Gardens Homeowners Association, but desired their goodwill in proceeding with the project. Chairman Pro Tem Honig pointed out the need for a playground. Joe League, SLA Architects, architect for the project, explained that the owner, Mr. Rathke, was willing to provide a play area that would be agreeable to the homeowner's association. Residents stated there was no place for a playground except on commercial property close to I -95, and explained that the tennis courts were used as a play area for basketball as well as tennis. Mr. League explained that building materials and colors were planned to be compatible with existing buildings, and reviewed the unit floor plans. During further discussion of the playground issue suggestions were made to possibly eliminate one unit and redesign the tennis courts, and it was pointed out that the Homeowners Association might not want a playground. Mr. League explained that the potential fence along the lake area had not been addressed since agreement with other owners would be necessary and they might not want a fence around a part of the lake. Mr. Pastore stated that apparently the residents had a problem with the whole development, not Mr. Rathke. Chairman Pro Tem Honig explained that Mr. Rathke was caught between the Homeowners Association and Weyerhaeuser, and that the Homeowner's Association had . 9 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 23, 1995 leverage. Chairman Pro Tem Honig called for comments from the residents. Ms. Shanz favored the fences, explained that the developer had built fences in his Riverwalk development and asked that the same kind of fences be built here. Mr. Honig explained that the Homeowners Association would have to approve since the fences would be on common property, and recommended that Mr. Ratlike consider the idea. Another resident questioned the density, inadequate roadway width, architectural compatibility with existing units, landscaping compatibility with existing landscaping. Mr. Sam Thompson explained the problems with the original developer who refused to complete work on the PUD, owed money for maintenance, did not provide proper irrigation and had promised a well which had not been installed, did not erect all of the fencing, did not provide street repair, did not provide hurricane straps, and explained that there was a lawsuit against the original developer. Anita Thompson explained that she was a director of the Homeowners Association and that residents did not want another developer involved until repairs were made and their problems resulting from the actions of the first two developers were resolved. Chairman Pro Tem Honig clarified that the Homeowners Association was in a lawsuit against Mr. Babcock, the original developer. After further comments by Ms. Thompson, she was advised by Chairman Pro Tem Honig that the issues commented on at this meeting by the residents were between the Homeowners Association and developer, over which the City had no jurisdiction. Chairman Pro Tem Honig requested that Mr. Ratlike mediate and resolve disputes between • Westwood Gardens HOA and Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company and submit to the City a suitable agreement with the Homeowners Association and a letter from the Homeowners Association not contested by members of the Homeowners Association prior to any further workshop or public hearings on the petition, so that public comments would address the current project only. Mr. Ellington commented that the City Attorney had advised that the existing contract allowed the process of the development review to proceed, however, plan modifications to tract A (owned by the Homeowners Association) would require clear agreement by the HOA Board of Directors for easements and approvals to proceed. Mr. Pastore verified that trash collection would be handled by curbside pickups, and that adequate room had been allowed for automobiles to access the centralized mailboxes. Mr. Christopher Jones requested that the Landscape Plan illustrate courtyard walls as depicted on the architectural plans. Mr. Jones pointed out that the Landscape Plan appeared to illustrate existing light poles located within some of the driveways and directed that they be relocated. Mr. Pastore verified that on- street parking was not intended, however, could not be prevented. Mr. Jones requested that the linear placement of trees along Woodmill Drive be varied. Chairman Pro Tem Honig urged the Homeowners Association to cooperate with this project in the interest of enhancement of the community, and recommended the following with HOA approval: fl Fenced patios located to the rear of the units to screen and to prevent children from accessing the lake 0 10 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 23, 1995 o Berming to be located at the north entrance to soften the impact of the units upon entering the site. o Architectural detail similar to that of the original development. o Hurricane strapping o Playground Mr. Ratlike explained that he had made accommodations for the Homeowners Association, and requested that this petition be moved forward to public hearing. Chairman Pro Tem Honig clarified with Mr. Ratlike and Ms. Thompson that neither objected to the addition of a playground, and requested that the details be worked out. Upon advise of Assistant City Attorney Golis, Chairman Pro Tem Honig directed petitioner to acquire approval of improvements to the site by the members of the HOA prior to the scheduling of a public hearing. Discussion ensued regarding Mr. Ratlike's request for a workshop in two weeks and the public hearing in one month. Planning and Zoning Director Walton expressed concern that more time might be needed by staff to review plan revisions. Mr. Jones commented that there was not that much to be changed and at this point the Commission's job was to assure compatibility for enhancements and to provide the best situation for the neighbors. Director Walton stated that with that direction, that this petition could be scheduled for a workshop at the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on June 13, 1995. Workshop: Petition PUD- 95 -02, by Anthony E. Oliver, agent for Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, to amend the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center Planned Unit Development to clarify the current and proposed square footage calculations for the hospital, to add a 13,000 square -foot third floor to the Medical Office Building, to add a new 2,000 square -foot meeting room, and to reconfigure the parking lot. Located on the south side of Burns Road and east of Gardens East Drive. (7- 42S -43E) Planning and Zoning Director Rich Walton indicated that the Petitioner verbally requested postponement of their workshop meeting, however staff was not in receipt of a written request from the petitioner. Chairman Pro Tem Honig stated that the petitioner would have to resubmit a request for hearing. OLD BUSINESS The Commission discussed Resolution 55, 1995 regarding Conflicts of Interest with City board members. Planning and Zoning Director Walton explained that a letter had been received by the City Council from Commission member John Glidden requesting further discussion, which had 11
