ROLL CALL: Debbie Andrea, Recording Coordinator for the meeting, called the roll for the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board: Present Chair Craig Kunkle Vice Chair Barry Present Dennis Solomon Randolph Hansen Michael Panczak Jonathan D.

Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes September 12, 2006 Page 2 Public Hearinn and Recommendation to City Council: CPTA-06-08-000006: Future Land Use Text Amendment for Bioscience Mixed- Use Public Hearing & Recommendation to City Council: A City-initiated request for an amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan to create a Bio-science Mixed-use land-use designation and criteria relative to workforce housing. Growth Management Director Kara Irwin presented the staff report. Changes suggested by the board were to show annual median income in the amendment, considering higher building height in MXD, to change the term at least 51% gross square footage to read more than 50%; add landscaping, architecture, and other considerations to the end of the last line in the first paragraph on page 9; in paragraph 3(b) second sentence on page 9 change the word minimize to enhance; in paragraph 3(d) on page 9 to change same exterior to something that meant nice and varied. An opinion was expressed that limiting height to four stories would be a step backwards, particularly along the 1-95 corridor; that consideration should be given to cost incentives by governmental entities; that commitment should be made that some rental buildings remain rental; that plans for transportation corridors should be considered sooner rather than later; and to be careful not to require so many amenities in the workforce housing that living there would be unaffordable. Ms. Irwin clarified that all five Interlocal partners had agreed to provide workforce housing but each was tailoring the process to their own community. Ms. Irwin explained that the 20% would be more defined in the LDR's, that the waivers required justification and approval, and that environmentally friendly green building techniques had not yet been considered. Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing open. Eileen Tucker, Shady Lakes, advised there was a petition regarding height and density that would be presented to the City; she was against too many waivers, and stated the overall concept should be understood. Jody Barnett stated she was speaking as a private citizen and expressed her opinion this was premature and studies should be done before setting the path for workforce housing. Carolyn Chaplik, Hudson Bay Drive, noted people commute 1-112 to 2 hours from a job; asked the difference between residential low and residential high; noted requiring 20% workforce housing would increase height restrictions; and suggested getting back to the forbearance agreement, and addressing workforce housing separately from biotech overlay. Hearing no hrther comments from the public, Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing closed. Ms. Irwin answered questions from the board, explaining the uses that were protected by the bioscience overlay, and that the bioscience MXD was designed as an incentive to encourage developments with a predominance of bioscience uses. Ms. Hecht wanted City Council to know the percentage for workforce housing had been carefully developed. It was suggested that this matter be workshopped with staff and City Council, particularly in regard to changing height limitations; that certain things such as keeping rentals as rentals could not be controlled by the city, and that green construction be considered in the future. It was noted this section already existed within the comprehensive plan and only a subsection was proposed to be added. Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes September 12,2006 Page 3 MOTION: Mr. Present made a motion not to move petition CPTA-06-08-000006 forward. Mr. Rubins seconded the motion. During a roll call vote, all members voted aye except Mr. Solomon who voted nay. Therefore, the motion carried by 6-1 vote. Mr. Solomon asked if this could still be considered by City Council. The City Attorney clarified that if the intent of the board was to proceed to City Council, the motion should have been to recommend to City Council that they not move forward, but the motion had been that this board not move forward. The City Attorney advised if this board did not move it forward it could not go to the Council, therefore, it would be next year before the City Council could act upon it. Mr. Present, the maker of the motion, clarified that his understanding was this board was only a recommending board so therefore by recommending it not move forward he had not meant not to move it to City Council, because they were the ones who had the say. His intent in making the motion was he felt this board was not ready to go, but if this would have a bigger effect the elected officials needed to make a decision. The City Attorney advised if that had been his intent, to recommend to Council that Council not move forward, then it could be brought to Council to say that was the board’s recommendation. MOTION: Mr. Present made a motion to rescind the prior motion, seconded by Mr. Rubins. Motion carried 6-1 with Mr. Hansen opposed. Discussion ensued. MOTION: Mr. Present moved to recommend to City Council that the Council not move forward with Petition CPTA-06-08-000006 at this time. Mr. Rubins seconded the motion. There were four nay votes. Mi. Solomon stated he believed there was confusion; that the reason to move it forward was you could only go to the state for comprehensive plan changes once a year. The City Attorney advised that it was the duty of the board to move yes or no on things that come before the board and they could delay to consider further; but in this case that would be a one-year delay, not a normal delay. Chair Kunkle commented there had been two motions at opposite ends but both with the result that this board was not ready to move this to City Council. Mi. Solomon stated he had been under a misconception when he voted-he had wanted to move it on to City Council whether or not they voted to approve it, and asked to change his vote. The City Attorney advised he could change his vote-that a motion could be made to reconsider and have a change in the vote. Mi. Present stated to hrther clarify, that this was too big an issue and he had not wanted to delay it a year and in their wisdom, the Council should vote whether to move it forward or not. Following further discussion, Mi. Solomon stated he was in favor of forwarding this to City Council but was against the recommendation that they not approve it, which was the cause of his confusion. Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes h. September 12, 2006 Page 4 MOTION: Mr. Solomon moved for reconsideration '1 and restatement of the motion so that whatever the outcome, the board would know what they were voting on. Chair Kunkle stated this was a motion to reconsider the prior motion. Mr. Kanel seconded the motion. Chair Kunkle stated this motion was to rescind the prior motion that failed by 4 votes to send to City Council. Chair Kunkle asked all in favor to rescind prior motion say Aye. There were only 2 votes Aye. Chair Kunkle stated that was strike three and it dies on the vine. The City Attorney stated this could not go forward to Council that was the result of the vote.

Aries Page, GIS Manager, presented the staff report containing changes since the last presentation. Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing open. Hearing no comments from the public, Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing closed. In response to questions from the board, Mr. Page explained that staff had met with the police and fire departments and would research a regulation regarding distance from the road to the house; confirmed that the text in its entirety had been shown; explained that the provision for street names to run the entire length of the street was for new development only and applied even if the roadway continued through another development. MOTION: Mr. Solomon made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of Petition LDR- 05-08 as submitted by staff. Motion was seconded by Mr. Pennell and carried by unanimous 7-0 vote. Public Hearinn and Recommendation to Citv Council: CPTA-06-08-000006: Future Land Use Test Amendment for Bioscience Mixed-Use Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council: A City-initiated request for an amendment to the Future Land Use Element of the City’s Comprehensive Plan to create a Bioscience Mixed-Use land- use designation and criteria relative to workforce housing. Kara Irwin, Growth Management Administrator, explained the comprehensive planning process, and the process for amendments to the comprehensive plan. Ms. Irwin reviewed the proposed text amendment, which had been presented at the last meeting. In response to questions and comments from the board, Ms. Irwin explained that the proposed 20% requirement for workforce housing sould change through the process, since it was a determination for a waiver, and that percentage might be changed by City Council. How that percentage would be allocated and apportioned would be covered in a development order for a project. Mr. Solomon expressed his opinion that there should be some criteria addressing this in the amendment. Ms. Irwin confirmed this text amendment did not address existing definitions of height within the comprehensive plan, and in this case the intensity and density would be limited by a FAR (Floor Area Ratio) requirement of .6 for bioscience use and .1 for commercial uses. The qualifying multiplier for income was explained, also explained was that in this overlay a request could be made of City Couhcil to go higher than four stories in a MXD residential component, so long as the workforce housing requirement was met, and the proposed amendment would not waive any other supplemental regulations Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Meeting Minutes September 26,2006 Page 3 in the LDR's for incoming projects. Ms. Irwin explained the forbearance agreement had not applied to the Briger site, so they would have to go through the concurrency and CULLS processes on their own. Staff provided an example of a FAR (Floor Area Ratio) calculation. Mr. Kanel expressed concern that there were no rules for waivers. Mr. Present expressed his opinion that housing did not belong in the bioscience centers and he felt this would open the door for more housing, to which Ms. Irwin responded this was to protect the inventory. t Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing open. Carolyn Chaplik; Hudson Bay Drive, expressed concerns regarding the increase in density and workforce housing, and suggested the Governor might place rental housing in Save our Homes and homestead exemptions. The City Attorney clarified for Mr. Solomon that the .6 FAR was the maximum allowed if all other requirements were met. Eileen Tucker, Shady Lakes, read a letter from the PGA Corridor Residents Coalition to the City Clerk which was a public information request for all information regarding the Briger site, Scripps, and workforce housing from September 12 to the present. Ms. Tucker expressed her opinion it would not matter if this was not passed on for four months, that workforce housing would still not be affordable for many people, asked who would monitor the criteria for workforce housing, and stated she believed there were Kunkle declared the public hearing closed. " many more questions to be answered. Hearing no further comments from the public, Chair .I ,* Mr. Solomon commented the City would have to monitor the income requirement for workforce housing, commented on the income range for workforce housing, and the height requirement, and indicated he was satisfied with the proposed ' amendment. Mr. Hansen clarified this was not a project but would give flexibility to create projects, and expressed support for the waiver process and for the proposed amendment. Mr. Kanel commented on public perception. Mr. Pennell clarified this only applied to MXD in the bioscience overlay and allowed these things to be considered.

In October of 1988, the City annexed the property into the City limits through the adoption of Ordinance 42, 1988. On November 14, 2003, an Administrative Approval (ADMIN-03-68) was granted for roof repair and replacement, an outdoor patio enclosure to be used as an office, and enclosure of the entrance foyer. At its April 13,2004, meeting, the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board voted to approve, with conditions, a minor site plan amendment (Petition SP-03-04) allowing the construction of a covered walkway, porte-cochere, new access drive, and other minor site improvements to the Temple Judea site. Through adoption of Resolution 85, 2004 on May 6, 2004, the City Council approved the Plat of Temple Judea. All previously approved modifications have been7completed. LAND USE AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS The current zoning designation of the property is Residential Low Density (RL-1) with a Major Conditional Use Overlay. The City’s Future Land Use Map identifies the property as having a future land-use designation of Residential Medium (RM). The existing use as a “Church or Place of Worship, under 1000 seats” is an approved Major Conditional Use category in the RL-1 Residential Low Density Zoning District. This use is also consistent with the Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Medium (RM). EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE DESIGNATIONS PROJECT DETAILS The applicant is currently requesting approval of an amendment to an existing Major Conditional Use to allow an auxiliary4,359 square-foot building with a porte-cochere at the * 2 Date Prepared: September 20,2006 Meeting Date: October 10,2006 Petition No. CUMJ-06-01-000001 rear of the existing Temple Judea synagogue on the northwest corner of the site. The additional classrooms have become necessary to accommodate classes for the existing youth and adult synagogue members. It should be noted that the new classrooms shall only be used for religious teaching purposes and are not intended to be used as a regular school, which would require a separate Conditional Use approval. Location of Classroom Building During the site plan review, staff suggested that the applicant consider other locations for the classroom addition including the middle of the rear portion of the site and the northeast corner of the site since the homes to the north and east are separated from the site by a roadway and do not have rear yards facing the site. The applicant, however, concluded that the proposed location is most appropriate because (1) a dry detention area can be placed on the northeast side while preserving the existing picnic area on the west portion of the site, which is surrounded by mature Slash Pine trees; and (2) it provides for the most suitable traffic circulation pattern on the site. The proposed building will be located 50 feet east of the western property line, which will provide a 75-foot buffer area between the building and the residential lots. Concurren c v On January 20,2006, Temple Judea received concurrency certification for traffic, drainage, solid waste, sewer and water. No additional seats are being added to the sanctuary, and the proposed classroom addition will generate 43 new daily trips, which meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. The build-out date for the project has been set for December 31,2010. 0 Access and Circulation Ingress and egress to the Temple Judea site is via two driveways on the north side of Hood Road. The two existing entrances into the facility will not be affected by the new classroom building. Hood Road is currently being expanded to four lanes with a new median, which will include an east-bound left-turn lane into the eastern-most entrance of the synagogue parking lot. The locations of the proposed building and the drop-off area have been designed to complement the existing driveway circulation patterns. There are no modifications being proposed to any other area of the site, or to either of the existing driveways into the site. Ph a sinq The construction of this building will occur in one phase. 3 Date Prepared: September 20, 2006 Meeting Date: October IO, 2006 Petition No. CUMJ-06-01-000001 Architecture The proposed 21-foot high building with a porte-cochere has been designed to match the architecture, colors, materials, and characteristics of the existing synagogue building. The ‘ new building will include arches, pre-cast columns, cast stone, and banding. The Spanish “S” Tejas Borja roof tiles will be a “Centenaria Ground” color. The stucco finish will be Sherwin Williams Alabaster SW 7008 and Muslin SW 5133, or similar. Lighting The applicant has previously replaced all existing parking lot lighting to meet current code standards. The addition of the drop-off drive aisle required only a small modification to the existing light on the south side of the landscape area south of the drive aisle. The site photometric plan has been modified to make the necessary adjustment. Landscape Plans The landscape plan has been modified to include the proposed classroom building. All landscaping material being proposed around the new building is consistent with the landscape plantings previously approved and planted on the site. The building has been located to minimize the number of trees that shall be removed, while avoiding conflicts with underground utilities, and providing convenient access. The site is surrounded by the Evergrene PCD which has provided a fence and 25-foot buffer around the north, east, and western perimeters of the site. The applicant has previously supplemented the existing perimeter landscaping with a hedge and several trees. 0 The site requires 5,619 landscape points, and 6,963 points have been provided. The applicant has provided a landscape plan which includes beautification of the Hood Road shoulder. Parkinq Section 78-345 of the City Code requires one space for every three seats in the sanctuary, plus one space for each 250 square feet of office space and one space for each classroom. Therefore, the current required parking for the existing building is 75 spaces (21 1 seats and 931 square feet of office). Seven additional parking spaces are required met this requirement by providing 82 parking spaces, including 77 paved and 5 grass parking spaces. I for the seven proposed classrooms for a total of 82 required parking spaces. The site has Signage There is an existing 6’ x 5’4” monument sign at the easternmost entry, which was A 10” high x 25’ long wall sign is previously approved and will remain unchanged. 4 Date Prepared: September 20,2006 Meeting Date: October 10,2006 Petition No. CUMJ-06-01-000001 . proposed for the building entrance on the south elevation of the new classroom building. This sign will cover 53% of the surface to which it will be attached and is, therefore, less . than the 70% allowed by Code. Drainaqe The project is located within flood zone “B” within the Intracoastal drainage basin of the ’ South Florida Water Management District. There is an existing on-site dry retention pond located in the south portion of the site that discharges into the Hood Road drainage system. No changes are proposed for this south basin. The northern portion of the site currently discharges to the Evergrene system. A new dry retention pond with a “spreader swale” is proposed within the northern portion of the site to allow the discharge to continue to the north into the Evergrene drainage basin. Drainage plans are included in this application that have been reviewed and approved by the City’s engineering consu I ta n ts, LB F H . WAIVERS No waivers are being requested with this application. CONDITIONAL USE ANALYSIS 0 - Attached is a Conditional Use Analysis provided by the Applicant in accordance with Section 78-52, Conditional Uses, (d) Criteria, of the Land Development Regulations. This analysis indicates that the proposed classroom addition is consistent with the site’s existing Conditional Use designation.

The three acre Temple Judea Synagogue site is located at 43 1 1 Hood Road approximately 1/4 mile east of the intersection of Hood Road and Military Trail. The properties to the west, north and east of the site are part of the Evergrene PCD. To the south of Hood Road are the Seacoast Utility Authority Water Treatment Plant and The Isles PCD. The proposed site plan amendment is to allow the addition of a 4359 square foot auxiliary classroom building to the rear of the main facility. This proposed building is for the use of the existing members for religious classes. Since the move to Palm Beach Gardens, and the construction of the beautiful new facilities, the younger members of the Temple congregation have been much more active and the demand for religious classes has increased. The existing classroom space within the main building has been serving a dual purpose for both adult and children's classes and logistically has become a problem for the members as they need to move furniture in and out of the classrooms before each class depending on the size of the occupants. Therefore, the congregation would like to provide permanent space for both adult classes and children's classes through the construction of the additional classroom building. The attached site plan proposes only minor modifications to the approved site plan with the addition of the new building, a driveway/drop-off area with a porta-cochere, and the associated required landscape improvements. These proposed changes are in compliance with the City's Land Development Regulations and will not require any waiver requests. No other changes to the site plan are proposed at this time. History The current zoning designation is RL- 1 with a Conditional Use Overlay and the Future Land Use Plan designation is RM-Residential Multi Family. This,,, s. Rosemary Avenue property was originally approved in November 1976 by Palm Beach County as a Rezoning from AG-Agricultural District to RE-Residential Estate District with a Special Exception for a Church and Accessory Gardens). In October 1988 the City of Palm Beach Gardens annexed the property under Ordinance 42, 1988. In 2003 and 2004, the Temple secured Administrative and Miscellaneous approval from the city for roof repairs, Suite 225 - The Lofts at City Place West Palm 561.366.1100 561.366.1111 fax 1 www.UDSonline.com LCC35 FL 33401 Facilities (comparable to a Conditional Use approval in Palm Beach extensive remodeling of the flont facade, interior renovations and upgrades to the landscaping and lighting for the overall site. All previously approved modifications have been completed. Future Land Use Plan and Zoning Compliance 0 The existing use as a “Church or Place of Worshp, under 1000 seats” is an approved conditional use category in the R-1 Residential Low Density District. This is also a use that is consistent with the Future Land Use Plan designation of RM - Residential Medium. Traffic/Circulation The proposed classroom building is for the use of the existing members of the synagogue for religious classes that are currently being held inside the main facility. There will be no additional seats added to the sanctuary therefore the proposed modification is only expected to increase the number of trips to and from the site by three. The attached traffic statement indicates that the three trips are less than the 2-lane capacity standard for Hood Road and that no further link or intersection analysis is required. The location of the proposed building and the drop-off area have been designed to take advantage of the efficiency of the existing driveway circulation patterns. There are no modifications being proposed to any other area of the site, or to either of the existing driveways into the site. Phasing The building is proposed to be constructed in one phase. The building will include 4359 square feet lab. Each classroom will include direct access to a restroom. with 7 classrooms which are approximately 400 square feet each and a 203 square foot computer Access Roadway access to the site is from Hood Road. The two existing entrances into the facility will not be affected by this application request. Hood Road construction has just been recently completed to expand the two lane roadway to a four lane median divided roadway. The new median includes an east bound approach left turn lane into the eastern most entrance of the Temple parking lot.

The proposed classroom building has been designed to include the use of arches, columns, cast stone, banding, and roof tile, consistent with the existing synagogue facility. Lighting The applicant has previously replaced all existing parking lot lighting to meet current code standards. The addition of the drop off drive aisle requires only a small modification to the existing light on the south side of the landscape area south of the drive aisle. The site photometric plan is being modified to make the necessary adjustment and will be submitted under separate cover. Landscape Plans The applicant has modified the previously approved landscape plan to include the proposed classroom building. All landscaping material being proposed around the new building is consistent with the landscape planting theme previously approved and planted on the site. The building has been located to minimize the number of trees that need to be removed while avoiding conflicts with underground utilities, and providing convenient access. The property surrounding this site is the Evergrene PCD which has provided a fence and 25' buffer 0 around the north, east and western perimeters of the site. The applicant has previously Temple Judea - Narrative January 4,2006 February 2 1,2006 September 6,2006 Page 5 .. 'supplemented the existing perimeter landscaping with a hedge and several trees. At the request of the city staff, the proposed building has been located 50 feet east of western property line which will provide a 75' buffer area between the building and the residential lots. Parking Parking on the site is provided in accordance with Section 78-345, Table 33, Public and Institutional, Churches and Places of Worship. This provision of the code requires 1 space for every 3 seats in the sanctuary, plus one space for each 250 square feet of office space. Based on this provision, the required parking is 75 spaces (21 1 seats and 931 square feet of office). An additional 7 spaces are required for the additional 7 classrooms. There are 82 existing spaces provided, including 77 paved and 5 grass parking spaces. There have been no modifications to the parking as a result of this request. Signage ,a The applicant is proposing one (1) building identifier sign for the proposed classroom structure. The sign is proposed to be consistent with the approved type style used for the ground signage in front of the main Temple building. The previously approved entrance ground sign has been constructed and is located adjacent to the eastern most entrance. Drainage The addition of the proposed auxiliary classroom building requires the construction of a dry retention area at the northeast corner of the site. Close attention has been given to the placement of the retention area to avoid the loss of existing trees. < WAIVERS The applicant is not requesting any waivers. 0 CQNDITIONAL USE OVERLAY ANALYSIS TEMPLE JUDEA CLASSROOM EXPANSION * Urban Design PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA APRIL 4,2006 Urban Planning Land Planning Landscape Architecture The Temple Judea Synagogue was most recently approved on April 13,2004 for Minor Site Plan Review to allow the construction of a covered walk-way, porte-cochere , new access drive, and other minor site plan modifications.

Military Trail Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 RE: TEMPLE JUDEA CLASSROOM EXPANSION Urban Design Urban Planning Land Planning Landscape Architecture RESPONSE TO STAFF COMMENTS UDS REF # 03-024.02 (CU) Dear Mike: In response to the comments received from you, Bruce Gregg of SUA, Ross Gilmore, PBG Forestry Technician, and Judy Dye of LBFH, we offer the following responses. For your convenience, I have duplicated the comments in bold and our responses follow in italics. Comments from Michael J. Sanchez, Planniny Manager, Growth Manavement Desartment, dated January 30,2006 1. Staff has visited the site and determined that the construction of the classroom addition in the currently proposed location will require the removal of several mature Slash Pine trees, under which there exists a shaded gathering area that adds tremendously to the aesthetic qualities of the rear o the site. Staff suggests that the building be moved to either the middle of the rear portion of the site or to the northeast corner of the site. Staff’s suggested locations will (1) move the building away from the rear yards of the homes to the west that “back-up” to the subject site (the homes to the north and east are separated from the site by a road and do not have rear yards facing the site; (2) preserve the mature slash Pine trees in the northwest corner of the site; and (3) preserve the shaded gathering area on the northwest corner of the site. 0 The applicant has taken the suggestions of the staffto heart and has analyzed the possibility of moving the proposed location of the building. While all of staffcomments have merit, after careful consideration and evaluation the applicant has concluded that they feel the most appropriate location for theproposed building is in the current proposed location. There were several factors that contributed to this conclusion, including the following: With the addition of the classroom building, the reduction ofpewious area requires that an additional dry detention area beprovided. Because of the @Iw OF ’A~M BCH GDtS location of the existing sanitary sewer line in the center of the grass area, only those areas on the northeast or northwest corners of theproperty are Suite 225 - The ~ofts at City Place available for theplacement of the building orfor West Palm Beach, FL 33401 APR 07 2006 mNING 8( 20l\l/& DIV 477 s.

Placement of the building in either location will result in the loss of trees. By placing the building on the northwest side, and the dry detention on the northeast side, the picnic area can bepresewed. b) By locating the building in the northwest corner of the site, it allows several things to occur: 1) Trafic circulation into and out of the parking area from the drop- oflareas are optimized for safe and convenient drop-offandpick- up of the children. Pedestrian access to and from the main sanctuary to the classroom building is more convenient. The classroom building can be monitored more easily by personnel from the main facility. The building will be more visible which, will allow signage on the building to be seen. It is the intention of the Temple to name the building after the major contributor and benefactor and visibility of the sign is very important to the Temple and would be greatly appreciated by the benefactor. The size of the classrooms can be maintained. Ifthe building was relocated to the northeast corner, the building would need to be located closer to the residential property line and the classrooms would need to be substantially reduced in size in order to avoid conflicts with the existing sanitary sewer line. 2) 3) 4) 5) c) Concern for the abutting neighbors has been addressed by: 1) Designing the building so that the classrooms and windows are oriented toward the north and south, awayfrom the western property line. Providing additional plant material (Oak trees) adjacent to the western property line to further enhance the existing buffer. Increasing the building setback from the western property line from 36' to 50' which provides a 91 foot separation between the building and the closest residential structure. Because the building will be so in-frequently used, the applicant believes that there will not be an impact to the abutting neighbors. 2) 3) 2. The applicant shall identify the mean height of the roof of the new building. The notation of the mean height has been added to the attached architecturalplans.
