AUGUST 11, 1992
MINUTES
The Regular Meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, was called to order by Chairman Jeffrey Ornstein at 7:30 P.M., in the
Assembly Room at the Municipal Complex, 10500 North Military Trail, Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida and opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
The roll was called by the secretary and present were: Chairman Jeffrey Ornstein, Vice
Chairman Mike Rosen, Alan Strassler, Carl Sabatello, Members; Dan Shalloway, Alternate
Members. Joseph Hamzy, Domenick Lioce, James Leatherman, Members; and Diane
Carlino, Alternate Member; were not in attendance.
ITEMS BY PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR
Mr. Bristol S. Ellington, City Planner, said staff had met with the petitioners of the RCA
g tY P
Boulevard Center PUD application to discuss the proposed north /south road between RCA
Boulevard and PGA Boulevard. He said staff directed the petitioner to conduct a study on
a proposed alignment for the north /south road. Mr. Ellington said the study should indicate
the number of lanes and right -of -way needed. The study should also indicate whether the
proposed road will alleviate traffic within the NorthCorp PCD and whether the proposed
intersection will work and is legal.
SITE PLAN AND APPEARANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE
SP -92 -05 - Recommendation to City Council re: (Seacoast Utility Authority) Site Plan
Approval for the construction of a raw water storage tank, transfer pumps, high service
pumps, a chlorine building and a motor control building. Located west of Interstate 95 and
north of Lilac Street (12- 42S -42E)

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
• WORKSHOP: Z -92 -02 - Rezoning a 9.7 -acre tract from the zoning designation of
Residential Medium, RM, to the zoning designation of Government Use, GU. Located west
of Interstate 95 and north of Lilac Street. (12- 42S -42E)
The Commission agreed to discuss the two petitions simultaneously. Mr. Ellington reviewed
the August 6, 1992 staff report on the above - referenced petition. He said that Mr. Rim
Bishop, executive director of Seacoast Utility Authority, has agreed to the staff
recommendation for the 15 -foot setback from the site property line, which is adjacent to a
duplex. The proposed Motor Control Center building is proposed to be 14'8" from the
property line, he added.
At the August 7, 1992 Development Review Committee, City Forester Mark Hendrickson
recommended that landscaping be extended along Interstate 95 and Lilac Street.
• Mr. Bishop, the petitioner, stated that the utility is phasing out its older plants, such as the
Lilac Street plant. He added they will no longer treat water, but pump raw water to the
Hood Road Treatment Plant.
Mr. Mike Rosen asked what happens to the old facility. Mr. Bishop said there are no
definite plans for the site. He said the buildings may be used for storage. If not, the Utility
will discuss with the City the future use for the site.
Mr. Alan Strassler asked why one of the proposed buildings is to be constructed of metal
and the other is to be constructed on concrete block.
Mr. Lyle Munce, consulting engineer for the petitioner, the Motor Control Center will be
constructed of concrete block and stucco. This building will be staffed, he added. The
chlorination building, which will not be staffed, will be made of metal and allow ventilation,
• Mr. Munce said.
i
Mr. Rosen asked why the chlorination building could not be ventilated by block. Mr. Munce
said it could but it would be more expensive than metal construction.
Chairman Ornstein suggested placing landscaping in front of the chlorination building.
Mr. Bishop said he can change the metal building construction to concrete block and add
landscaping.
Chairman Ornstein asked if the Commission had any objection to setting this petition for
a Public Hearing. The Commission did not object. Chairman Ornstein directed staff to
advertise this petition for a Public Hearing at the next available meeting.
Mr. Dan Shalloway suggested that the removal of treatment plant as a condition of the
approval of this petition. He asked if this would be reasonable. Chairman Ornstein said
that would be a reasonable condition.
Mr. Rosen asked if there is a noise factor concerning new pumps. Mr. Bishop said there
will be electric motors that will emit a low noise. Mr. Rosen asked if the neighbors in the
duplex will hear the noise. Mr. Munce said the duplex residents will probably hear the
noise, but it will not be loud. Chairman Ornstein suggested that the petitioner erect a
concrete wall around the pumps to mitigate the noise.
Mr. Bishop said he would make a provision to mitigate a noise.
Asked about the proposed demolition of unused buildings on the site, Mr. Bishop said he
would first like to discuss the future of the site with the City.
ITEMS BY THE CITY COUNCIL LIAISON
Mayor Michael Martino provided an update to the Commission about the City's
Comprehensive Plan amendment for the northwestern portion of the City. Mayor Martino
• also distributed three memorandums concerning the Jog Road /Ryder Cup, Resolution 71,
0
1991 and the Council /Mayor salaries. The Mayor discussed each of the memorandums and
answered questions from the Commission.
PUBLIC HEARING: PCD -92 -02 - Amending the NorthCorp Planned Community District,
adopted on January 18, 1990 by Ordinance 1, 1990, to allow for additional uses on Lots 9
and 12 of South Park Center Plat (1, 12- 42S -42E & 1, 6- 42S -43E) (Adv. 7/27/92)
Mr. Ellington reviewed the August 6, 1992 staff report for the above - referenced petition.
He said that the Commission is only requesting approval of the use, not any size of building.
Chairman Ornstein said the petitioner should only be allowed to construct a size of building
which would allow for all the parking to be kept on site. The number of parking spaces that
could fit onto the site should translate into the square footage of the building permitted, he
added.
Chairman Ornstein asked if the petitioner has, demonstrated sufficient reason for a church
use on the site. Mr. Ellington stated that the petitioner had provided a justification at the
workshop meeting.
Mr. Donaldson Hearing, agent for the petitioner, reviewed the petition. He said the
NorthCorp site provides excellent access from Interstate 95.
Chairman Ornstein said the petitioner is proposing too large of a building. He added that
the church use is an inappropriate use for the industrial park.
Mr. Carl Sabatello asked what the proposed seating capacity of the church. Mr. Hearing
said the church will hold 2,400. He also questioned what will happen if a church holiday
falls on a work day. The petitioner responded that any weekday, church holiday service will
be held at night.
Mr. Dan Shalloway said the Commission should only discuss the proposed use and not the
potential size of the future church. He then called the for the Public Hearing to be opened.
Chairman Ornstein opened the Public Hearing.
• After hearing no public comment, Chairman Ornstein closed the Public Hearing.
The Motion
Mr. Shalloway made a motion for approval of the above - referenced petition.
Mr. Strassler seconded the motion.
The motion was approved by a 4 -1 vote, with Chairman Ornstein opposing.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL RE: Landscape Ordinance
City Forester Mark Hendrickson reviewed the changes requested by the Commission to the
proposed Landscape Ordinance.
The Motion
Mr. Sabatello made a motion to approve the proposed Landscape Ordinance with the
changes referenced in City Forester Mark Hendrickson's August 5, 1992 memorandum.
Mr. Shalloway seconded the motion.
The motion was approved by an unanimous vote, 5 -0.
PREAPPLICATION REVIEW: PUD -92 -14 - Recommendation to City Council re:
Amending the Devonshire PUD, a 337 -unit life care facility, to modify the architectural
design and site plan. Located within PGA National, a Development of Regional Impact,
generally south of PGA Boulevard, west of Florida's Turnpike and north of Northlake
Boulevard. (16- 42S -42E)
Mr. Ellington reviewed the August 6, 1992 staff report on the above - referenced petition.
The Commission asked several questions about the trash disposal method used for the
project. Chairman Ornstein said the petitioner needs to resolve its trash disposal problem
before the Commission recommends approval to the City Council.
Mr. George de Guardiola, agent for the petitioner, reviewed the project. He said the
• changes were prompted by a consultant who has completed similar life care facilities.
•
•
•
Chairman Ornstein said the proposed 12 -inch pre -cast columns are huge to support the
covered parking areas. Mr. Gabriel Salazar, architect for the project, said he could move
the columns every 20 feet.
Chairman Ornstein said this is a great improvement to the existing plan. He asked if there
will be bus service. Mr. de Guardiola said there will be minivans servicing the facility.
Mr. de Guardiola said the petitioner has supplied all the parking initially approved, but he
added that it will not likely all be used. He said that many of the tenants will not have an
automobile. Chairman Ornstein said the excess parking can be turned into landscaping.
Mr. de Guardiola suggested that the extra parking spaces be turned into landscaping with
a stabilized base. `
Mr. Sabatello said the petitioner should notify the residents of The Island PUD and Dunbar
Woods PUD and meet with the residents to discuss the project.
Mr. Sabatello asked if there will be lights around the shuffleboard courts. The petitioner
said those activities associated with the health club will be restricted to daytime use. Mr.
Ellington stated that staff has requested the petitioner supply a cross - section of the
landscape buffer near the shuffleboard courts.
Mr. Mike Rosen requested that the petitioner supply pictures of past similar projects.
Mr. Shalloway asked that the petitioner look at the plan to reduce paving on the site.
Mr. Shalloway prompted a discussion on the drainage on the site. He suggested that the
petitioner meet with David Getz to discuss the drainage and lake system.
Mr. Sabatello asked what is the time frame for office construction. Mr. de Guardiola said
the petitioner is applying currently for a state permit for approval to build. When ground
is broken at the site, the project will be more than 50 percent sold, he added.

Mr. Sabatello said he has some concerns with the lack of screening of the service area. He
also said he would like the landscaped areas for the trash dum sters.
P P
Chairman Ornstein suggested that the petitioner install the driveway /road in the northwest
quadrant of the property during the first phase.
Mr. Sabatello said the pedestrian access should be identified on the plan.
The Commission agreed to schedule this petition for a future meeting.
ADJOURNMENT
There being nothing further to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned
at 10:36 P.M. The next meeting will be held on August 25, 1992.

doing that. So Peter needs to—and the Fire
• Department need to address these things if they have
a problem when they should be addressed and that's
when the project was approved. There's nothing on
the file to show that they had a problem then. I
don't, having built fire equipment, understand why
the comment is made the way it is. Fire equipment
is not 10 feet wide. Fire equipment is made to
specifications and has certain widths so that it can
traverse streets in a safe fashion. So I don't
understand the comment. I disagree with the
comment, and I don't think it opens the City up to
any liabilities because it merely conflicts with
what thev originally laid into the record.
H. Skokowski: ..I'll be happy to meet with Mr. Bergel. I frankly
think he's misinformed on the project and his
opinion will change....
Martino: We need to also have the Administration handle this.
Mr. Russo brought it up.
Kiselewski: I would submit to you that each street in the City
. would have exactly the same problem. There's a 24-
foot street in front of my house that I've called
the Police Department twice this week for guys
parking their lawn maintenance thing on it. Yeah,
if you're going to violate the law, you're going to
create problems.
Martino: That's right.
Monroe: Mr. Chairman, I wasn't going to say anything, but
based on those two comments I feel compelled to do
SO. First of all, Don, I would contend that this
is not quite the same as your street. You have
wider pavement, you have swales that do not and for
the most part have trees parked in ... and there may
be a few illegally parked where you can't get an 8-
foot vehicle off the road. And some people do park
on the street, but at least I think in my
neighborhood the majority of the people will pull
off in the Swale. There's a few that'll park on the
street that don't want to get in the swale, but
generally you're not obligated because of the
constraints of ... here you've got trees, you've got
driveways where you will probably have two cars in
them. You don't have a lot of options in an area
like this. You've got 20 feet of pavement and then
• 2
•
•
Martino:
Monroe:
tar;�no�
the so- called gutter, so you're not going to be able
to do anything but keep them in that general area.
The second thing that I would like to say is I would
hate to think that our Fire Department would be
muzzled if that's what they believe, and I think
maybe, two things, the first time around when this
project came to us, it had a two -car garage. Now
they're asking to comment on a change. This isn't
what the Fire Department commented on the first time
around. This is something new that has a tendency
to put more on the streets. No one's got a crystal
ball to know today or 20 years from now how many
that might be. But the odds are there will be some
more; how many, we don't know. The other thing is
if any department within the City or any of us
Council members voted one way in the past or had a
philosophy in the past and because of experience,
maturity, learning, whatever, observation that you
change your opinion, I would hate to think that I
could never grow in my position. I probably
voted ... had considerably different philosophies 10
years ago. Some of them maybe were better, some of
them maybe weren't. But I would think also, we were
talking about Pete Bergel..., if he's learning from
developments in the City that, maybe this isn't the
best thing, I want him to have that opportunity to
say that.
Nobody's trying to muzzle anybody, Linda. My
comments...
But you're talking about tearing something out of
the record...I don't...
="' ` tlVe" way 'Mr. Bergel wrote this letter is
in direct conflict with the way the Fire Department
approved the project to begin with. If he would
have written the letter and made reference to the
fact that the reason he now has a concern about this
project is the very fact that the models are being
changed to one degree or another, I could accept
everything you're saying. He's not saying that.
He's going right back to the width of the roads
which are not a problem.
Monroe: But he said elimination of any additional parking
spaces will result in on- street parking of guest
vehicles. This will present a major problem for
Fire Department emergency vehicles emergency access
due to the narrow 20 -foot roads. He's directly
3
•
•
•
tieing that to additional cars, not the original
approval but to additional vehicles.
Martino: He's talking about the width of the pavement. He's
talking about narrow 20 -foot roads which are ... you
know, I'm not a fire professional, but I want to
tell you that the width of the road should have
little to do with whether a vehicle can move up and
down it. What his problem is, if he's raising a
problem, is he is suggesting that because we're
eliminating a garage space that vehicle may park on
the street. That's where the problem and the rub
is. That's what he needs to say. He should not
even talk about the width of the pavement. If he
wants to say that, I don't have probably a
disagreement with that statement; but we cannot let
a record of the City Council at anytime suggest that
we're putting ourselves in a libelous position. I
don't feel we are. I feel that the Fire Department
has contradicted itselves here by virtue of this
letter. That's all I'm saying, and I think that
it's clear...
Russo: ...want them to clarify...
Martino: We need clarification.
Kiselewski: I want one thing understood. I've worked this whole
compromise or at least started compromising with the
thought that cars that park on the street are going
to be ticketed.
Monroe: What? How?
R. Walton: ...private streets...
Monroe: They can park all they want to.
Russo: You can't even get down my street in Marlwood in PGA
National. It's like a .... the security can't ... they
just don't do it.
Kiselewski: Now hold on just a minute. We've got an ordinance
in the City whether they're private streets or
public streets that says you cannot park on a lane
of traffic. Yes, we do. Why do you think...
Aldred: I don't believe that it pertains to private roads.
Russo: ...the police drive up and down PGA National...
Martino: The city thinks it doesn't apply, Don, I didn't
4
think it did either. If there's no other
• discussion, let's see if we can bring this to a
conclusion. All those in favor of the motion,
please signify by saying "aye ". Opposed? Three,
two. (Russo and Monroe voted "no ".)

LEGISLATIVE ORD
FROM: MIKE MARTI
SUBJECT: COUNCIL /MAYOR SALARY
As the city council and city administration is aware, appropriately, during our
annual city budget meetings and workshops salaries are discussed. During the
preparation of our 1991 -1992 fiscal budget the City Council's salary figure was raised
to $800.00 on a monthly basis and the Mayor's salary was raised to $900.00. This is
the recollection of staff.
As you know, we hold workshops to discuss such items. A budget workshop
discussion concerning the raises took place. The above figures were discussed.
Councilpersons Monroe and Russo objected, joked they were coming up for re- election
and could not support the raises.
At first reading on August 15, 1991, the salary for the Mayor's office was
discussed again, as the ordinance reflected a yearly figure of $10,200.00 which is
$850.00. Councilman Russo was not present. The tapes of the meeting suggest the
• affirmative votes were to include the $900.00 figure. Apparently, the ordinance when
passed on first reading still reflected the $10,200.00 figure even though discussions
indicated $900.00 was appropriate by the majority of the council present. Sometime
between 1st and 2nd reading of the ordinance the Mayor's salary figure was changed to
reflect the majority's vote ($10,800.00). At no time did I discuss this with any staff
personnel.
The above is based on discussions with the City Manager, City Clerk, City
Attorney, Comptroller, my personal recollections and minutes of meetings. Attached is
a memo from the Comptroller supporting some of the above. On 7/25/92 the Palm
Beach Post printed an article concerning this subject. The article states that "Mayor
Mike Martino has gotten an extra $50.00 in his paychecks this year. But no one can say
exactly how it got there." The reporter called most council members for comment. One
of my solutions for his questions was to go to the Finance Department and check my pay
with them because due to deductions, etc. I don't really know what I am being paid.
I also informed him that my recollection was a $100.00 differential was voted on. If he
had visited the Finance office, as suggested, he may not have written the story at all and
the editorial of 8/5/92 on the same subject may not have been written, as such. T h e
Finance Department had not received the changed ordinance and thus was using the
$850.00 monthly salary figure for the Mayor's salary. He would have been informed,
as I was, that the monthly salary being paid to me was $850.00 and not $900.00 as he
and his editors so inaccurately reported and his "impeccable tipster and source" was so
sure of. Perhaps, "a pink slip" should be given to the reporter and editorial staff of the
• Palm Beach Post who did not research their story for the facts.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION 71, 1991 - APPROVED JUNE 20, 1991
Above resolution was discussed and approved at a regular meeting of the City
Council of Palm Beach Gardens on June 20, 1991. Due to many references by the
media to this meeting and discussion of Resolution 71, 1991 regarding a letter /report of
a plan review from the Fire Department, a detailed evaluation of the tapes (attached) was
performed. The media has printed that "Mayor Martino also told City Manager John
Orr to have the Fire Department change the letter."
The facts are that Councilman Joe Russo introduced the idea to change the report
during discussion on Councilman Kiselewski's motion to adopt Resolution 71, 1991.
Councilman Russo stated for the record as part of his comments on the Fire Department
report, "I don't know that this report is correct, but I believe for the record that this
report in order to move liability away from this City Council should be changed..."
Mayor Martino merely concurred with Councilman Russo's discussion point. Mayor
Martino states "And I'm with you Joe, it should be torn from the file and should be
• retracted, and I would prefer that the administration gets this handled." A later comment
by Mayor Martino is "My comment is this. It was in response to Joe's comment which
he put into the record; it has to be covered."

Kiselewski: I would move for the adoption of Resolution 71,

Martino: Discussion?
Russo: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor. I am not going to be voting
for this. I think the spirit of cooperation is
positive. I think the units still should have been
limited - -they weren't. I believe that anytime we
vote for an ordinance and for a change and our Fire
Department does not give the approval, I believe we
are opening ourselves up for liability. If they
have to get down the street with the equipment and
they can't get down the street, I'd hate to see what
could happen with those homes so close together in
order to stop a fire. I don't know that this is
Martino: Of further discussion, I have two points. One
is... are the site plans that we're talking about
going to be attached to this resolution? Are they
specific? Why can't we just "X" out the model so
there's no question. Okay? Would you... 11X11 the
model out? Because if it gets over to the Building
Department and then the next thing you know we've
got one.
As far as the Fire Department is concerned, this is
one of the issues probably...I know Pete was here
earlier and I said a lot of nice things about him,
and I meant everything I said, but I do have a
little bit of a disagreement - -not a little bit, a
lot of disagreement here - -with the Fire Department
putting this thing into the record in the form they
did. They reviewed this project to begin with,
accepted the streets at this width. There's no
reason why you can't move a fire vehicle down a 20-
foot wide street even if there is parking there.
Beyond that, if there ever is an emergency that
requires a fire vehicle to move a vehicle, they are
built to such a degree that they are capable of

Date: July 31, 1992
Subject: Council Monthly Pay
The Mayor's monthly salary was $625 per month from February 1991 to September 30, 1991.
The council members monthly salary was $575 per month. Prior to this the monthly salary was
divided into salary and expense money. The monthly salary was $400 for all council members,
the expense money was $175 for council members, $225 for the Mayor. Due to changes in
federal tax laws, the expense money had to be taxable and processed through payroll.
The City Council approved a change in the council salary in September 1991. The monthly
salary for the Mayor was increased to $900 per month and the monthly salary for council
members was increased to $800 per month. Due to a typographical error on the ordinance, you
were actually paid only $850 per month from October 1991 to July 1992. The typographical
error was noticed between the first reading and the second reading and was corrected prior to
the second reading. Unfortunately, the amount of pay was entered from the copy with the typo-
graphical error and was not noticed in the payroll program until July 1992.
Therefore your monthly pay should have been S900 per month since October 1991. The City at
this point owes you $500 in back pay. You will receive this money in a separate check to be
issued on August 6,1992. 1 apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

LEGISLATIVE RECORD
FROM: MIKE MARTIlVO, MAYOR
SUBJECT: JOG ROAD/RYDER CUP - RESOLUTION 2, 1992
Recently, a lot of media, citizen, county commission and city council attention has
been spent on the above resolution. Some of what is being discussed is inaccurate. In
an attempt to more accurately reflect the legislative record and intent, I submit the
following:
1. Councilman Russo requested the Ryder Cup /Jog Road resolution should be
prepared and forwarded to the County Commission. This correspondence
was to state the city's position to remove Jog Road from the County's
Thoroughfare System between Northlake Boulevard and Donald Ross Road.
2. The resolution was prepared and submitted for council review and
comment. Official action was taken and a unanimous vote cast to send the
resolution to the County Commission.
3. The language of the resolution was modified by Councilwoman Linda
Monroe which changed the councils' original intent from a simple removal
request to one that suggested finding an alternative first and then removing
Jog Road. The tapes and records indicate this to be accurate. Thus,
Resolution 111, 1991 should have reflected her amended language.
4. On December 6th, the City Clerk asked me if I recalled the language we
agreed to use in Section 1 of the Resolution. Unfortunately, and without
any intent to undo, I suggested language that I thought we intended as
policy which did not accurately reflect the amendment by Councilwoman
Monroe. I was trying to be helpful but should have known to listen to the
tapes for accuracy.
5. Subsequent to the error, an amended version reflecting Councilwoman
Monroe's amended language was sent as an update and replacement for the
incorrect version (Resolution 111, 1992 dated 12/13/91).
6. On January 2, 1992, this problem and resolution was discussed again by
the City Council at our regular meeting. It was determined that
Councilwoman Monroe's version of policy was not our intent. The
language in Section 1 was changed and reflected the original language of
Resolution 111, 1991.
7. Resolution 111, 1991 was changed and Resolution 2, 1992 was approved.
Of interest is the vote was unanimous. Resolution 2, 1992 was then
forwarded to the County Commission.
8. On January 7, 1992, Karen Marcus, Chair of the County Commission
corresponded with the City Clerk by thanking her for Resolution 2, 1992
and recognizing that it superseded Resolution 111, 1991.

RE: Your Memo, dated today /Resolution ill, 1991
I did not read the amended resolution after the changes were made
nor was I a part of the process. If the Mayor's amended language
was inconsistent with the language that was approved by the
Council, then the'Mayor should respond to the action taken. The
normal process is for the _City Clerk to transcribe the language off
the official tapes of the meeting.
The letter was included in the mail drop this week which was
supposed to correspond with the resolution that was attached and
made a part of the packet. Had we not submitted a revised letter,
the Council would not have received a copy of the resolution.
I am not aware of any other changes that were made over the years
of anything after Council approval; however, we are always subject
to human error.
Since the Mayor is responsible for signing the resolutions, I will
provide him with a copy of your letter and my response to your
letter for appropriate action. n A

TO: John L. Orr, City Manager
FROM: Linda Monroe, Councilwoman
Resolution 111, 1991, as amended, was approved by the City Council on December 5, 1991
I read the amending language into the record, and the motion to approve referenced the
amendment. The resolution as signed by the Mayor changed the amending language and,
therefore, changed the intent. I have been told that the mayor provided the amending language
the following day. I would like to know how this was allowed to happen and assurance that it
will never again happen.
I have to wonder why this resolution was included in our mail drop this week when we do not
• normally get copies of resolutions after they have been approved. I have to also wonder how
many other changes over the years were made after the Council approved resolutions and/or
ordinances. Please provide a written response.
Please have a corrected version prepared, sued, and distributed to all who received the incorrect
version; and attach a cover letter stating that this is a corrected resolution which replaces the one
pre-, iously sent.
