Comedy House is a club which will provide entertainment by stand -up comedians.
Snacks will be served.
Mr. Jim Abel, employee of Ms. Peterson, addressed the Commission stating optional
valet parking service will be offered. Mr. Abel stated that through discussions
with restaurant managers in The Harbour Shoppes, it was determined that 460 parking
spaces are required, and there are currently 546.
Mr. Lioce requested input from Mr. Stapleton, Administrative Planning Coordinator.
Mr. Stapleton stated the Building Official has advised he does not anticipate
problems with parking.
Mr. Ornstein expressed concern with parking, stating the Code requires four times as
many spaces for restaurants as it does for retail. Since this was originally planned
• as a retail establishment with a couple of restaurants, Mr. Ornstein anticipates
severe parking problems and feels much more study is needed.
Mr. Rosen requested clarification as to whether the Commission is being asked to-
make a recommendation on the conditional use only. The Commission briefly
discussed the Board's authority regarding the anticipated parking problems.
Mr. Hamner moved to recommend approval to the City Council for the
modification to "conditional uses" in the CG -1 (General Commercial) Zoning District,

•

Page 6
Commission, by approving the subject petition, is in violation of what was origi-
nally approved with regard to parking on the site.
Chairman Vogel stated it is his opinion that bringing the problem to the attention
of the City Council will be sufficient.
Mr. Hamner accepted the amendment to the motion. The motion passed with a vote of
3 -2, with Mr. Ornstein and Mr. Lioce voting against.
Public Hearing - Recommendation to City Council re: "Involuntary" Annexation of
293.72 acres, including 269.83 -acre unrecorded plat of "Horseshoe Acres ", fronting
on south side of Northlake Boulevard at Kelso Drive, per the petition of Attorney
David M. Shaw, autho. agent for 50 +° of "Horseshoe Acres" property owners & City
(adv. 7/25/88T
Ms. Ronnye Sands, Vice President of the "Horseshoe Acres" Homeowners Association,
addressed the Commission stating the proposed annexation area is a mature community
• that is almost built out and, therefore, would place a low demand on City services.
In response to questions by Mr. Ornstein, Mr. Stapleton advised that the annexation
area would be subject to County regulations and all County land use regulations will
apply until such time as the property is rezoned, consistent with our Comprehensive
Plan. Mr. Ornstein stated he feels the City should not annex property, knowing
there will be non - conforming uses, and feels it would be difficult for our Building
Official to enforce County building codes.
Ms. Sands stated the City does recognize Horseshoe Acres as a unique community
inasmuch as it does have horses, and there are other areas in which Horseshoe Acres
will be somewhat unique. Ms. Sands stated the City Manager has assured the
homeowners that they would be allowed to keep horses and will be able to retain
their Restrictive Covenants.
Mr. Ornstein stated there is no zoning classification in the City now that would be
appropriate for Horseshoe Acres.

Chairman Vogel declared the Public Hearing open. Pastor William Leetch, Pastor of
Grace Alliance Church, addressed the Commission asking if the Church is included in
the annexation area.
Mr. Ornstein expressed concern with Pastor Leetch not being notified of the proposed
annexation. Mr. Stapleton stated that all of the provisions of Chapter 171
regarding annexation have been followed to the letter. Mr. Stapleton advised Pastor
Leetch that the Church is included in the annexation petition.
Pastor Leetch's primary concern with regard to the annexation is that he has a 15
year plan with the County and wants a guarantee from the City that he will be
allowed to continue with approved County plans.
There being no further comments from the public, Chairman Vogel closed the Public
Hearing.
Mr. Hamner moved to recommend approval to the City Council for the
"Involuntary" Annexation of 293.72 acres, including 269.83 -acre unrecorded plat of

annexations and by bringing these areas into the City, services will be provided
more efficiently.
OLD BUSINESS
Ms. Ronnye Sands addressed the Commission stating that due to revised scheduling,
is some residents did not attend the "Caballo Pointe" Public Hearing to voice their
objections. Ms. Sands stated for the record that these residents will be greatly
impacted by the "Caballo Pointe" project and they will be attending the City Council
meetings to express their concerns.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Hamner stated for the record that he feels the temporary buildings at Palm Beach
Gardens Elementary School should have been located more to the rear of the property
and asked if the City has any control over placement of these buildings. Mr. Hamner

screening. Mrs. Mahar submitted a sketch showing trees planted in this manner.

Vice Chairman Toshner suggested Mr. Skokowski research the caliper of the trees
to be planted since a larger caliper would help with screening. Vice Chairman

at the south side of the property. Vice Chairman Toshner stated the residents
may wish to consider requesting a statement from the petitioner assuring con-
tinued maintenance and replacement of plant materials along the property line.
Mr. Rosen suggested deleting 1 unit on each side, reducing the number of units
