ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION: CREATION OF At their meeting of March 25, 1980, a motion was unanimously adopted by DUDS ON M -8 the Planning and Zoning Commission that they recommend to the City Council & M -9 SITES DF777NAT'L the creation of the multi- family PUDs proposed by the Florida Realty Building Company and Lazarus Communities, a ,point venture, to be located on the 8.7 -acre "M -8" and 23.6 -acre "M -9" sites on the Master Plan for the PGA National PCD. This recommendation was made with the proviso that an emergency access to the projects be located on Ryder Cup Boulevard and that the emergency route connecting the "M -8" site with the Resort Core be identified. Messrs. Mike Rosen, Project Manager, Hank Skokowski, Land Planner, Earl McGathlin, Project Engineer, and Winston Lee, Landscape Architect, par- ticipated in a presentation to the Council on these proposed PUDs, which will together consist of 26 six -unit buildings and 46 four -unit buildings, with an overall density of 10.5 u /p /a. All of the units in the four - unit buildings and four of the units in the six -unit buildings will have a total of 1587 sq. ft. of living space; the remaining two units in the City Council Workshop Meeting, 4/24/80 Page 3 six -unit buildings will have a total of 1277 sq. ft. of living space. Ali of the buildings will be two -story with living units on each level. There will be an average of 2.2 paved parking spaces provided per Golf Villa. The total dwelling units to be contained within the PUDs, 340, is 23 greater than that approved on the original Master Plan; and the cumulative units to be contained within the subject site and all of the PUDs approved by the City thus far is a reduction of 25 from that approved in the Development Order. The M -8 and M -9 tracts, which are surrounded by golf course area, are located on the southeast corner of Tournament and Ryder Cup Boulevards. Access is gained directly to the M -9 tract from Tournament Boulevard and then this access drive continues across a culverted area into the M -8 project. Mr. Skokowski advised the Council that at the time the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the plans for these projects, the landscaping plans were not ready for submittal; therefore, they have opted to submit these plans to the City's Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee for their approval. Any amendments made to the plans per the recommendation of the Committee will be submitted to the Council for final approval. The members of the Council concurred with the recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission re: the delineation of the emergency access to the projects from Ryder Cup Boulevard and an emergency route connecting the M -8 site with the Resort Core. These routes would be taken in the event of a "dire" emergency only. Mr. Rosen offered to forward to the developers the Council's recommendation that dempsy dumpsters not be located within the projects, but rather the same method the Glenwood PUD uses for disposing of garbage /trash (i.e., having a central collection center) be used. These projects will be further workshopped by the Council at their meeting of May 8, 1980. In the meantime, the Council will be supplied the comments of the City Engineer, the Police Chief, the Fire Chief, the Director of Public Works and the Planning and Zoning Commission; the condominium association documents will be submitted to the City Attorney for his review /approval; and a brief resume' on the past work products of Mr. Arthur Lazarus of Lazarus Communities will be supplied for the Council's review. City Council Workshop Meeting, 4/24/80 Page 4 Mr. Rosen reported on the meeting he had with the City Manager and Fire Chief re: an interim fire protection area at the PGA National. A City fire vehicle will be housed in the 178' x 65' maintenance building the City's Site Plan and Appearance Review Committee approved at their meeting of February 26, 1960. Per Mr. Rosen, they agreed at this admin- istrative meeting that there will be radio communications between the Fire Department and the PGA's guard house so their security will be aware of what is transpiring. Mr. Rosen assured the Council that the recreational improvements will be made per the Development Order to the 13.7 -acre tract designated as "City of Palm Beach Gardens Park" on the Master Plan prior to the time they start developing the southern end of the PGA National project. The members of the Council concurred that they would like for these improvements to be accelerated. This will be followed -up by the City Manager.
