PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
March 28,2006
MINUTES
The Regular Meeting of the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board of the City of Palm
Beach Gardens, Florida, was called to order by Chair Craig Kunkle at 6:30 P.M. in the
Council Chambers of the Municipal Complex, 10500 North Military Trail, Palm Beach
Gardens, Florida, and opened with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
REPORT BY INTERIM GROWTH MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATOR:
There was no report by Interim Growth Management Administrator Dan Clark.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: FEBURARY 28 AND MARCH 14,2006
Mr. Solomon expressed his opinion that the minutes were a lot more sketchy than usual
and stated the purpose of the minutes was to have a record if someone came back to
figure out what had been done other than the pure vote. Mr. Solomon recommended
listening to the tapes again to beef up the minutes. Chair Kunkle and Mr. Hansen agreed.
Mr. Clark explained that a concentrated effort was being made for the minutes to reflect
in detail the motions made and for the audio records to be the verbatim account. During
ensuing discussion, Mr. Clark confirmed these recordings were readily available to
anyone who wanted to listen to them, and assured the board that there were multiple
backups in separate locations in case of disaster. Mr. Clark explained this move had been
made to be consistent with minutes from other boards, and he would report back on
storage retention. The advantage to digital recordings was they were available
immediately following the meetings, while it took some time for minutes to be
transcribed by an outside agency. Chair Kunkle recommended following the Council’s
method. Chair Kunkle made a motion to approve the minutes of the February 28, 2006
and March 14, 2006 PZA meetings; seconded by Mr. Pennell, and unanimously carried
by 7-0 vote.

Public Hearing and Recommendation to City Council: A request by David Abrams, of

Conditional Uses, including one residential dwelling unit, on the Vavrus Ranch, as
outlined in the “Vavrus Property Agricultural Use Summary,” prepared by EW
Consultants, Inc., and associated “Agricultural Use Zone” aerial map. The Vavrus
Ranch is located approximately Jive miles west of S.R. 71 0 (Beeline Highway) on the
north side of Northlake Boulevard and east of Grapeview Boulevard.
Mr. Ed Weinberg, with EW Consultants, provided a presentation on behalf of the
applicant. Mr. Weinberg presented proposed agricultural uses and zones developed for
the subject property.

Chair Kunkle declared the public hearing closed.

would be allowed with this approval. Mark Hendrickson, City Forester, made comments.

Page 3
Donaldson Hearing of Cotleur & Hearing and Glen Weldon, signage consultant for the
project, provided a presentation of the proposed signs and graphic images on behalf of
RAM Development Company and Palm Beach Community Church, reviewed requested
waivers, and answered questions from the board. Requests made by members of the
board included: that the applicant provide examples of signage for different tenant
situations at the next presentation, that a site plan be included in the board packets, that a
set of drawings to scale be provided, that the size, script, color and style be simplified,
that signage be at a level where it could be observed, and that spotlights be used as shown
in the drawings. Mr. Weldon indicated the sign package had been developed with
diversity in mind. Direction to the applicant was given on waivers and tower structures.
OLD BUSINESS
There was no old business to come before the board.
NEW BUSINESS
There was no new business to come before the board.
OTHER COMMENTS
Mr. Kanel commented the rules were there to be followed and he did not understand why
so many waivers were granted on every project. Chair Kunkle recommended Mr. Kanel
argue more strenuously on waivers he objected to. Mr. Clark explained waivers allowed
the City to get things they might not otherwise get, and in effect were trades; but agreed
that this body should argue more strenuously when they did not agree with certain
waivers--to let staff know their wants and desires. Mr. Present indicated it irritated him
whenever an applicant commented something they were asking for had been granted to
someone else, because they were taking that item out of context--waivers were granted
based on the whole project.
In response to Mr. Pennell’s inquiry regarding if City Council only read the motion from
the minutes when this board made a recommendation, or if they read the discussion that
led to the recommendation, Mr. Clark advised City Council did not read the minutes
unless they had a concern. Mr. Clark explained that staff provided to City Council a brief
description of the discussion and the vote. Typically, Council was not even provided
with the exact motion language. If there were specific issues, individual Council
members would request the record; however, typically, the staff report gave the vote and
listed any concerns.
Mr. Kanel noted members of other boards sometimes spoke at the City Council meetings
and presented items their board had discussed. Mr. Kanel asked if he should speak at
City Council meetings as a member of the board; the City Attorney advised he should
speak as an individual.

Mr. Solomon requested staff check into the City’s position regarding colors and logos on
signs. Mr. Wiseman responded it depended on the type of project-some had a single
color, some had a palette of four colors. Mr. Solomon commented the number of waivers
was not as important as what was being requested, and each request needed to be
considered in relation to the project.

On April 18, 2005, conditional traffic concurrency was approved for 15,000 square feet
restaurant use, 4,000 square feet drive-in bank, 12,000 square feet drugstore use, 11,600
square feet commercial retail use, IO,OOO square feet professional office, and 252 multi-
family units. The conditional concurrency certification is contingent upon the applicant,
Gardens 95 Limited Partnership, L.C.C., satisfylng several conditions mandated by the City
Engineer and the Palm Beach County Traffic Division. The stated conditions limit, in part,
the number of building permits that can be issued until such time when certain roadway
improvements performed in the surrounding areas including the construction of Roadway
#12 and #14 as required by the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Many of the same conditions
were placed on the approved Paloma Planned Unit Development approval as the Paloma
project is divided by future thoroughfare Roadways #12 and #14. The certification is also
contingent upon the approval of a development order for the site by the City Council. If
any of the conditions are not satisfied within the established time frame or a development
order is not issued by City Council, then the conditional concurrency certification shall
become null and void. If all of the conditions are satisfied within the appropriate time
frame and a development order is issued, then the conditional concurrency certification
shall not expire until after the build-out date of December 31,2007.
On February 28, 2006, the applicant submitted a traffic equivalency statement to the City
to revise the development program to include 236 townhomes, 14,866 square feet of office,
38,000 square feet of medical office space, 9,000 square feet of restaurant space and
15,000 square feet of retail space. No additional traffic concurrency is being requested by
the applicant. The traffic equivalency statement is currently under review by the City and
is required to be approved prior to scheduling this petition for City Council review.
PROJECT DETAILS
The applicant is requesting a rezoning from a Planned Development Area (PDA) zoning
designation to a Mixed-Use Planned Community District (MXD/PCD) Overlay zoning
designation to allow for the development of 236 townhomes, 14,866 square feet of office,
38,000 square feet of medical office space, 9,000 square feet of restaurant space and
15,000 square feet of retail space on approximately 50.58 acres of land.
The proposed master development plan includes: Parcel A, a 5.37-acre Commercial /
Employment Center; Parcel B, a 3.62-acre Commercial / Employment Center; and Parcel
C, a 23.9-acre residential development. The requested master plan includes approval of
density/intensity for the site, upland preservation requirement, parkway requirements,
access points, and the amenity package.
Access
In conjunction with the Paloma PUD, the applicant has provided the necessary rights-of-
way for the future extension of Victoria Falls Boulevard and Elm Avenue (City’s Conceptual

two (2) from the future Elm Avenue.
Upland Preserve
The applicant is required to provide 9.47 acres (25%) of upland preserve on site. The
applicant is providing 9.57 acres on site. In addition, the applicant is converting a 0.25-

counted as part of the upland preserve requirement.
Landscape Buffers
The applicant will be providing a 90-foot parkway buffer along Central Boulevard, which
has been expanded to 112 feet to include a portion of the upland set-aside required for the
site. The upland set-aside doubles as the landscape buffer along the western and southern
perimeters of the master site plan. The applicant is providing 15-foot landscape buffers
adjacent to future Victoria Falls Boulevard and Elm Avenue. This is consistent with code
requirements for landscape buffers.
The applicant is responsible for providing a landscape plan for, installing the landscaping
within, and ultimately maintaining in perpetuity the road shoulder and 1/2 of the median
for the portion of Central Boulevard adjacent to the Property. The applicant will also be
responsible for a pro-rata share of the maintenance of the medians and roadway shoulders
within the thoroughfares to the north and east of the property.
Drainaqe
The surface water management system will be under the jurisdiction of South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD), Palm Beach Gardens, and the North Palm Beach
County Improvement District (NPBCID) as the site is within Basin 2C of NPBCID Unit of
Development No. 2.
Sufficient on-site lake area will be created to provide surface and water quality
enhancement to meet the provisions of the SFWMD permit (generally io% of the basin)
and will connect directly to the NPBCID EPB 3-C Canal. The discharge from Basin 2C will
be limited by a NPBCID control structure located in the EPB 3-C Canal immediately west
of Military Trail.
The run-off from the Central Boulevard right-of-way adjacent to the project limits will be
accepted into the surface water management system of the residential portion of PCD, to
be referred to as “Cimarron Cove.” The on-site drainage system will consist of a series of
catch basins and pipe which will direct runoff to the interconnected lakes. The on-site
drainage system will be designed for a 3-year storm event.

scale lighting along all adjacent rights-of-way and meander the sidewalks along said rights-
of-way whenever possible.
E. Overall Design Theme

project-wide shared elements, including common hardscape themes, street furniture,
lighting, plazas, fountains, and thoroughfare enhancements. A “Key Plan” depicting the
location of the amenities on site shall is also included.

focus on pedestrian amenities that include but are not limited to arcades, awnings,
colonnades, fountains, loggias, courtyards and/or similar areas providing a connection and
focus for pedestrian walkways. Architectural design shall be such that it avoids blank walls
and dead spaces without any pedestrian or visual interest. The applicant has provided staff
with Design Guidelines for the PCD, which although broad in nature, address these
requirements. The submitted building elevations within the individual site plans include
porches, balconies, tile, arches, towers and other architecture features and focal points.
WAIVER REOUEST
The applicant is requesting the following waiver:
*:* Section 78-157(f) - Waiver from vertical residential integration
component of the MXD Regulations.
Applicant’s Justification: Please see attached Project Narrative dated March 3, 2006,
prepared by the applicant.
Staff Recommendation: Said section states that the minimum requirement for the
residential high land use within the project shall be located above the ground floor of a
nonresidential use. It further states that the City Council may waive the vertical
integration requirement upon consideration of a recommendation by the PUB.
Although not stated in the Code, it is staff opinion that this requirement is more
tailored for mixed-use projects of more of an urban nature where increased building

height and greater density is compatible with surrounding areas. This parcel is directly
adjacent to a residential project, the Paloma PUD, and two major roadways with no
possible integration thereto. Staff has reviewed several site configurations for this site
and feels that the location and design of this parcel does not lend itself to an urban
project with vertical residential integration.
Staff recommends APPROVAL of this waiver request.
PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS BOARD
On January 24, 2006, the PZAB held a workshop to discuss the proposed PCD and the
associated site plan for the residential portion of the PCD, Cimarron Cove. The comments

PCD. A list of those concerns and the applicant’s response are attached to the staff report

The subject site is adjacent to an identified Parkway along Central Boulevard. The Master Plan
indicates a minimum 100 foot upland preserve along the Central Boulevard right-of-way. The
Master Plan and the attached conceptual buffer sections are consistent with Comprehensive Plan and
Land Development Regulation requirements.
SignageLightingKommon Area Landscaping
Although signage locations are provided on the PCD Master Plan, neither signage nor lighting plans
are being submitted as a part of this application request. The parcel entrance features, signage and
lighting plans have been submitted as part of the site plan applications for the commercial and
residential site plan applications. In accordance with Section 78-46 (f)(2)k and 78-46(f)(2)1, we are
asking that the Growth Management Director grant approval to waive the requirement for the
submission of the signage and lighting details at this point in time.
Waiver
Section 78-157 (I) - Waiver from the vertical residential integration component of the MXD
regulations. - We are requesting a waiver from the vertical residential integration component of the
MXD regulations. We are proposing vertical integration of non-residential uses (commercial,
restaurant, medical office and professional office) within this project. The primary reason for the
requested waiver is the desire to create a residential community that is in keeping with the
development pattern of the surrounding area. It is recognized that this MXD parcel is contiguous
to medium density residential communities and less intensive development. The goal is to provide
an inviting and easily accessible mix of uses designed to complement the residential character of the
area. We have provided strong horizontal integration between the residential and non-residential
uses. There are no large parking areas between the non-residential and residential uses on the site.
The proposed MXD is being designed to enhance the existing residential community by providing
a mix of non-residential uses, yet respect the established pattern of residential development by
providing a similar product within the proposed residential component of the development. It
is not anticipated that this area will become a major urban corridor of activity, but instead maintain
a neighborhood character. Thus, the MXD is being designed to internalize activity to create a
neighborhood destination of choice, encouraging connectivity, both pedestrian and vehicular, while
respecting the establishing residential communities that surround the site.

Meeting Date: April 25,2006
Petition: sp-04-05
On April 18, 2005, conditional traffic concurrency for Parcel 31.04 was approved for
15,000 square feet restaurant use, 4,000 square feet drive-in bank, 12,000 square feet
drugstore use, 11,600 square feet commercial retail use, 10,ooo square feet professional
office, and 252 multi-family units.
On February 28, 2006, the applicant submitted a traffic equivalency statement to the City
to revise the development program to indicate 236 townhomes, 14,866 square feet of
office, 38,000 square feet of medical office space, 9,000 square feet of restaurant space
and 15,000 square feet of retail space. No additional traffic concurrency is being requested
by the applicant. Said traffic equivalency is currently under review by the City and is
required to be approved prior to scheduling this petition for City Council review.
Please refer to the “Concurrency” section of the staff report for the proposed Parcel 31.04
Mixed Use PCD (Petition PCD-04-01) included in the Board’s packet for more information.
PROJECT DETAILS
The proposed 204-unit townhouse development will consist of both two (2) and three (3)
story units. One hundred eleven (111) of those units will be front loaded. Although gated,
the development contains some aspects of a “New Urbanism” type development with some
front doors facing urban greens with alleyways in the rear and on-street parking. The units
will be sold as fee simple condos.
Site amenities include a pool area and cabana, bicycle parking, a central lake feature and a
pedestrian circulation system.
The residential buildings are situated around the central 3.45-acre lake with a pedestrian
pathway and amenities (i.e. gathering areas, observation dock, etc.) surrounding the lake.
Architecture
Cimarron Cove features townhomes/condominiums offering two and three bedrooms.
According to the applicant, the residences reflect and draw their architectural influence
from the Mediterranean and Anglo-Caribbean styles. The Mediterranean Revival structure
is typically asymmetrical and eclectic with multiple levels, multiple interior and exterior
spaces and multiple buildings. Building massing tends to be irregular with a variety of
shapes and heights.
Building-type A is a three-story, rear-loaded townhouse unit, which will alternate between
a Mediterranean style with barrel tile roof and Anglo-Caribbean style with a concrete tile
roof. Each Building A unit features a rear-loaded two-car garage. The elevations feature
balconies, porches, and numerous architectural features. These three (3) story units have
been located in the central portion of the site.

Date Prepared: April 13,2006
Meeting Date: April 25,2006
Petition: Sp-04-05
Building B is a two-story, front-loaded townhouse unit, which will alternate between an
Anglo-Caribbean architectural style and Mediterranean styles. Building B units feature
one (1) and two (2) car garages. Each Building B includes full driveways for the tenants
and guests. The elevations feature balconies, porches, and numerous architectural
features. These two-story units are located around the perimeter of the site in order to
provide consistency with the surrounding land uses.
Building C contains a mixture of three-story units with two-story end units - all of which
feature Mediterranean and Anglo-Caribbean styles.
All proposed building feature two- and three-bedroom units.
Landscapinq
The community will benefit from Oak and Silver Buttonwood tree lined streets. The
landscape plans exceed the minimum landscape points by 150% and are complementary to
adjacent community landscape designs.
The Cimarron Cove site plan has an open space requirement is 35%. The applicant is
providing or 48% open space. The community will share upland preserve with the
commercial development which will also connects to adjacent preserves along Central
Boulevard, Interstate 95 and the Paloma PUD development to the east. This
interconnection of preserve areas provides the community a sense of natural wooded areas.
The required parking for residential units is based on the number of bedrooms. Parking
required by Code is 592 spaces. The applicant is providing 708 parking spaces. Since the
proposed number of parking spaces is above 10% of that required, the applicant must’
obtain approval of waiver to allow for the additional spaces (please see “Waiver” section of
this report).
Seventy-eight (78) of the units on site do not have driveways long enough to accommodate
a parked vehicle outside of the garage. Tenant of those units will be forced to park in either
the garage or in the additional parking spaces scattered throughout the site. Based on
parking issues observed by staff in the field with built projects, such as the Harbor Oaks
residential development in the Regional Center, that contain driveways not long enough to
accommodate a parked vehicle outside of the garage, staff had concern relative to the same.
In response, the applicant has provided extra parking spaces within close proximity to
those units with the shorter driveways. As requested by staff, the applicant provided an
exhibit, entitled “Parking Exhibit Detail” (attached to color site plan), that demonstrates
the applicant’s provision of at least one (I) additional parking space per bedroom for the
units with the shorter driveways in close proximity thereto. All other units can
accommodate cars parked in the driveway. Based on (1) the fact that the applicant is
providing 116 parking spaces above and beyond that required by Code, which requires a
waiver; (2) the fact that the applicant provides at least one additional parking space per
bedroom for the units with the shorter driveways in close proximity thereto; and (3) the
fact that staff has included a condition of approval that requires the POA documents to
I 4

Meeting Date: April 25,2006
Petition: sp-04-05
prohibit parking in the alleys, staff does not object to the shorter driveways.
Signaqe
The applicant is proposing one project sign at the community entrance from Elm Avenue.
The requested scored stucco sign is 5’ 6’’ in height and 12’ in width, which is consistent with
the City Sign Code (please see attached Entry Sign Elevation on “Pool Cabana and Entry
Sign”p1an).
Phasinq
The Cimarron Cove community will be built in a single phase.
Access
Access to the 31.04 MXD PCD site is proposed from Elm Avenue, u ic . borders the entire
PCD site on the eastern perimeter. This roadway section was approved by the City of Palm
Beach Gardens as a part of the Paloma PUD rezoning. Cimarron Cove is a proposed gated
community with vehicular access being provided from two locations: directly off of Elm
Avenue (TP Road #14) into the development; and a direct connection from the residential
portion to the commercial portion. The development is proposed to have integrated
pedestrian and vehicular connections that will provide the residents easy access to both the
commercial development to the north or to the major thoroughfare to the east. -
CPTED Compliance
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a branch of situational crime
prevention that maintains the basic premise that the physical environment can be designed
or managed to produce behavioral effects that will reduce the incident and fear of crime.
The Police Department has reviewed the master site plan and Parcel C and has provided
staff with several comments pertaining to security on site and adherence to the CPTED
principles.
WAIVER REOUESTS
The applicant is requesting the following three (3) waivers (please see attached waiver
jus tijka tion) :
1. Section 78-441 - Issuance of Building Permits Prior to Plat Approval.
Applicant’s Justification: The applicant is requesting a waiver from Section 78-441
(C) to allow the clearing of land and the issuance of building permits for model units
and a temporary sales center prior to the plat being recorded. Section 78-441 (C)
states: “All lands not otherwise subdivided which are the subject of an approved
development order shall be designated by a boundary plat. The boundary plat shall
be approved by the City Council and placed in the official records of the county prior
to the issuance of a building permit for the subject property.’’ It is the applicant’s
desire to start construction of the temporary sales center, three townhouse
5
Date Prepared: April 13,2006
Meeting Date: April 25, 2006
Petition: sp-04-05
buildings, as indicated on the site plan, immediately upon site plan approval for use
as a model. The applicant understands that Certificates of Occupancy cannot be
issued, that the units cannot be open to the public and that no homes could be sold
until the plat is recorded. The applicant is willing to provide for a bond for the cost
of demolition. This request would allow the construction of these model units to
begin during the 90 day +/- period after site plan approval while the plat is being
reviewed.
Staff Recommendation: This waiver has been granted by the City Council for other
projects of this nature. Staff has provided conditions of approval relative to the
construction of dry models on the site. Staff recommends APPROVAL of the waiver
request.
2. Section 78-563 of the City Code - Waiver to allow encumbrances within
Lake Maintenance Easements and reduced LME widths.
Applicant’s Justification: The applicant is proposing landscaping within the
proposed Lake Maintenance Easements in order to enhance the aesthetics of the
project. This landscaping is adjacent to both the future north-south roadway and
the proposed lake north of the Cimarron Cove entrance. These areas will be
designed, in coordination with the City Engineer, to provide alternate access to the
lake as possible. This alternate access will entail reduced LME width of a minimum
12 feet in size which would be cleared of all impediments and providing access
routes to the lake for maintenance while maintaining the desired landscape
buffering. These lakes will be privately maintained and have been designed to allow
for access for maintenance. The applicant requests this waiver to allow for a more
visually pleasing project, while still ensuring proper maintenance of lakes on the
site.
Staff Recommendation: Staff has reviewed the proposed configuration with the City
Engineer and has determined that sufficient access is being provided to maintain
the lake. Staff
recommends APPROVAL of the waiver request.
The waiver request will enhance the aesthetics of the project.
3. Section 78-345(d)(3) of the City Code - Waiver to allow more than 110%
of the required parking on the site.
Applicant’s Justification: Based on the number of bedrooms (plus 5% of the
requirement for guest parking), the parking requirement for the Cimarron Cove site
plan is 592 parking spacees. The applicant is providing 708 parking spaces on the
site. These spaces are located within individual unit garages, unit driveways and on-
street parking. Although the majority of the “extra” parking spaces are located
within the driveways for individual townhome units, the applicant is seeking a
waiver to provide 119.5% of the required parking for the Cimarron Cove site plan.
The provision of these “extra” spaces is to ensure that there is sufficient parking for
all residents and their guests. In accordance with the City’s Land Development
Regulations, the applicant is providing 56 “extra” parking spaces (708 total spaces -
6
Date Prepared: April 13,2006
Meeting Date: April 25,2006
Petition: sp-04-05
652 spaces (110% of total requirement)). The amount of extra open space has been
determined by 56 spaces x 185 s.f. (size of typical parking space) x 1.5 = 15,540 s.f.
or 0.35 acre. The Cimarron Cove site plan indicates 48% or 11.59 acres open space,
while the requirement is 35% or 8.37 acres open space. The additional 0.35 acres
has been accommodated within the site plan and has been identified.
0
Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the applicant’s justification. Based on
staffs position relative to the parking discussed in the “Parking” section of this
report, staff recommends APPROVAL of the waiver request.

Landscape Architecture
The proposed Cimarron Cove (Parcel 3 1.04 Residential) development is a
23.9 acre tract of land lying in the southern portion of the Parcel 31.04
MXD Planned Community Development, located on the southeast comer of the Interstate 95 and
Central Boulevard intersection and future interchange. The residential development is proposed to
consist of multi-family townhouse/condominium units with integrated pedestrian and vehicular
connections with the abutting mixed use development.
The applicant, Gardens 95 Limited Partnership, L.L.C., is requesting review of a Site Plan within
a Planned Community Development application for 204 multi-family townhouse/condominium units
within the Cimarron Cove development. This is a reduction of 48 units from the original request for
252 townhouse units. The proposed design of the residential community is consistent with other
residential communities within the City of Palm Beach Gardens.
The petitioner is proposing 204 multi-family townhome/condominium units within Cimarron Cove
for a density of 8.54 ddacre. This density is well within the proposed PCD density allowance of up
to 15 dwelling units per acre under the MXD Future Land Use Plan designation and 12 dwelling
units per acre under the RH Future Land Use Plan designation. In addition, this density is 2 ddac
less than The Forbearance Agreement allows up to 3 .O dwelling units per acre with the addition of
the units released from WCI Communities. (Previously submitted was a letter from PBG Growth
Management Director, Charles Wu.)
Cimarron Cove’s convenient location at the hture interchange of Central Boulevard and Interstate
95 and just south of Hood Road will provide its residents the enjoyment of close proximity to onsite
“places to shop and work” as well as many nearby shopping, entertainment, and recreational
opportunities.
Concurrency
The application for Concurrency Certification for the 3 1.04 MXD PCD was submitted to the City
on March 28,2003. The Concurrency Certification application has been since modified on July 18,
2003 and again on December 23,2003. The most recent modification requested the development
program to exclude the proposed Convenience Store with Fueling Pumps, and reduce the Retail use
by 48,400 square feet to 11,600 total square feet. A High-Turnover Restaurant with 15,000 sq.ft, a
Drive Through Bank with 4,000 sq.ft, a Drugstore with 12,000 sq.ft, Office
use at 10,000 sq.ft., and 252 residential dwelling units continue to be
requested as a part of the concurrency a lication as well. Traffic477S-Rosema~Avenue Suite 225 - The Lofts at City Place

submitted as a part of the modifications to the proposed development program. The traffic program
was approved by the City on April 8,2005. On February 28,2006, a traffic equivalency statement
was submitted to the City indicating a revised development program of 236 multifamily dwelling
units, 9,000 s.f. of restaurant space (including outdoor seating area), 14,866 s.f. of general office
space, 15,000 s.f. of general commercial space and 38,000 s.f. of medical office area. The City is
currently reviewing this traffic equivalency statement.
History/Zoning/Future Land Use
There is no current or past development order on this vacant tract of land. On December 18,2003
the City Council of Palm Beach Gardens approved Ordinance 37,2003 approving a Small Scale
Land Use Map Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Palm Beach Gardens relating
to certain property consisting of approximately 6.41 6 acres. The approving ordinance allowed for
a change of the Land Use designation from Mixed Use (MXD) to a Residential High (RH) Land Use
designation.
Also, on December 18,2003 the City Council of Palm Beach Gardens approved Ordinance 3 8,2003
approving a Small Scale Land Use Map Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Palm
Beach Gardens relating to certain property consisting of approximately 3.42 acres. The approving
ordinance allowed for a change of the Land Use designation from a Residential High (RH) to a
Mixed Use (MXD) Land Use designation.
As a result of these Land Use modification approvals, the 31.04 MXD PCD property boundaries 0
were reconfigured to allow for the majority of the subject site to reflect a Land Use Designation of
Mixed Use (MXD) and a Residential High portion located on the southern portion. This also allowed
the abutting residential community property boundaries to be re-defined and encompass residential
land use designations.
Phasing
The Cimarron Cove community will be built in a single phase.
Access
Access to the 31.04 MXD PCD site is proposed from Thoroughfare Plan Road #14 (north-south
directional road) which borders the entire PCD site on the eastern perimeter. This roadway section
was approved by the City of Palm Beach Gardens as a part of the Paloma PUD rezoning. Cimarron
Cove is a proposed gated community with vehicular access being provided from two locations:
directly off of Elm Avenue (TP Road #14) into the development; and a direct connection from the
residential portion to the commercial portion. The development is proposed to have integrated
pedestrian and vehicular connections that will provide the residents easy access to both the
commercial development to the north or to the major thoroughfare to the east. 0

The community will also feature a cabana bath and pool area overlooking Cimarron Cove’s lake
amenity. The cabana bath will be the focal point across the lake as you enter the community giving
a sense of arrival with its presence and landscaping, all complimented by the landscaping proposed
to enhance the entry.
This site features an abundance of onsite upland preserve providing opportunities for peaceful
commune with nature as well as buffers from surrounding uses. With this amended request, the
applicant will be providing 9.78 acres of upland habitat on site, 0.25 acres of disturbed wetland
mitigated to upland habitat for a total acreage of 10.03 acres of upland habitat on site. The upland
preservation requirement for the site is 9.47 acres.
Architecture
Cimarron Cove features innovatively designed townhomes/condominiums offering two and three
bedrooms. The residences strongly reflect and draw their architectural influence from the
Mediterranean and Anglo-Caribbean styles. The Mediterranean Revival structure is typically
asymmetrical and eclectic with multiple levels, multiple interior and exterior spaces and multiple
buildings. Building massing tends to be irregular with a variety of shapes and heights.
Building A is a three-story, rear-loaded townhouse unit, which will alternate between a
Mediterranean style with barrel tile roof and Anglo-Caribbean style with a concrete tile roof. Each
Building A unit features a rear-loaded two-car garage. The elevations feature balconies, porches,
and numerous architectural features. These three story units have been located in the central portion
of the site.
0
Building B is a two-story, front-loaded townhouse unit, which will alternate between an Anglo-
Caribbean architectural style and Mediterranean styles. Building B units feature one and two-car
garage. Each Building B includes full driveways for the tenants and guests. The elevations feature
balconies, porches, and numerous architectural features. These two-story units are located around
the perimeter of the site in order to provide consistency with the surrounding land uses.
Building C feature a mixture of three-story units with two-story end units - all of which feature
Mediterranean and Anglo-Caribbean styles.
All proposed building feature two- and three-bedroom units.
Landscaping
The community will benefit from Oak and Silver Buttonwood tree lined streets. The landscape plans
exceed the minimum landscape points by 150% and are complementary to adjacent community
landscape designs.
The community will share upland preserve with the commercial development which will also

connects to adjacent preserves along Central Boulevard, Interstate 95 and the Paloma PUD
development to the east. This interconnection of preserve areas provide the community a sense of
natural wooded areas.
Waivers
Section 78-441 - Issuance of Building Permits Prior to Plat Approval. We are requesting a
waiver from Section 78-441 ( C) to allow the clearing of land and the issuance of building
permits for model units and a temporary sales center prior to the plat being recorded. Section 78-
441 ( C) states: “All lands not otherwise subdivided which are the subject of an approved
development order shall be designated by a boundary plat. The boundary plat shall be approved
by the city council and placed in the official records of the county prior to the issuance of a
building permit for the subject property.” It is the applicant’s desire to start construction of the
temporary sales center, three townhouse building, as indicated on the site plan, immediately upon
site plan approval for use as a model. The applicant understands that Certificates of Occupancy
cannot be issued, that the units cannot be open to the public and that no homes could be sold
until the plat is recorded. The applicant is willing to provide for a bond for the cost of
demolition. This request would allow the construction of these model units to begin during the
90 day +/- period after site plan approval while the plat is being reviewed.
Section 78-563 of the City Code - Waiver to allow encumbrances within Lake Maintenance
Easements and reduced LME widths. We are proposing landscaping within the proposed Lake
Maintenance Easements in order to enhance the aesthetics of the project. This landscaping is
adjacent to both the future north-south roadway and the proposed lake north of the Cimarron
Cove entrance. These areas will be designed, in coordination with the City Engineer, to provide
alternate access to the lake as possible. This alternate access will entail reduced LME width of a
minimum 12 feet in size which would be cleared of all impediments and providing access routes
to the lake for maintenance while maintaining the desired landscape buffering. These lakes will
be privately maintained and have been designed to allow for access for maintenance. We request
this waiver to allow for a more visually pleasing project, while still ensuring proper maintenance
of lakes on the site.
Section 78-345(d)(3) of the City Code - Waiver to allow more than 110% of the required
parking on the site. Based on the number of bedrooms (plus 5% of the requirement for guest
parking), the parking requirement for the Cimarron Cove site plan is 592 parking spaces. The
applicant is providing 708 parking spaces on the site. These spaces are located within individual
unit garages, unit driveways and on-street parking. Although the majority of the “extra” parking
spaces are located within the driveways for individual townhome units, we are seeking a waiver
to provide 119.5% of the required parking for the Cimarron Cove site plan. The provision of
these “extra” spaces is to ensure that there is sufficient parking for all residents and their guests.
In accordance with the City’s Land Development Regulations, the applicant is providing 56
“extra” parking spaces (708 total spaces - 652 spaces (1 10% of total requirement)). The amount
of extra open space has been determined by 56 spaces x 185 s.f. (size of typical parking space) x

Land Planning-
Landscape Architecture Below is a summary of the City of Palm Beach Gardens’ Planning,
Zoning and Appeals Board comments from the January 24,2006
workshop meeting:
Board Chairman Craig Kunkle - Plans were a “huge improvement” from the last submittal.
Asked if these would be condos or apartments (Condos)? Asked if there will be rental
restrictions (There will be).
Jonathan Rubins - Thought the new plans was an improvement. Asked what was staffs
position on the requested waivers.
Douglas Pennell - Said plan is “much nicer.” Liked the new entrance off of Elm Avenue into
the project.
Vice Chair Barry Present - Said plans were a big improvement fiom the last plans. Asked if
there will be any affordable housing within the project. 0
Amir Kanel - Said new plans were a “huge improvement.” He asked about the construction
materials to be used. He asked about whether berms or walls will be provided along Interstate
95. He also inquired about any sound attenuation being provided within the residential models.
Joy Hecht - Asked about the setback distance between Interstate 95 and the homes.
Michael Panczak - Said the two-story models had too many gable roofs and that the developer
should consider adding some hip roofs. On the three-story models, he suggested that the garages
be varied with alternative square and arch door openings. He also suggested improvements for
the gables on the three-story models.
Randy HanE - Said the project appears to be too dense. He also had a concern with the 10-
foot driveways. He said the architecture for the Mediterranean model is an improvement, but
there still needs to be some variety on the garages. He said he had a concern regarding having
the two-story Anglo-Caribbean architecture surrounding the three-story Mediterranean
architecture. He suggested the architecture should be varied throughout the project. He also
expressed his concern regarding the two-story architecture, especially the use of asphalt shingles
on those models. He asked that the architect check the roof plans to
see that they are consistent with the floor plans. Mr. Hansen also said
he was looking forward to seeing more information regarding the
interconnection between the residential and non-residential portion of 477 S. Rosemary Avenue

the site.
Dennis Solomon - Said the plans were a significant improvement, but it is still a dense project.
He added that there is not enough parking within the pool area and there should be more guest
parking throughout the site. Mr. Solomon suggested more pavers within the pocket park areas.
He said he had concerns with the cross-hatching on the garages on the two-story models and
believed there should be more articulation at the roofline. He said he would like to see more
information regarding the pedestrian gathering areas and would like to see benches there. The
roadways on the plans should be labeled. Regarding the two-story models, he said the hip return
is too narrow and it lacks symmetry on the side elevations. For the three-story models, Mr.
Solomon said there were vacant areas that need to be addressed.

Dear Mr. Benothman:
Attached for your review is a complete resubmittal package for the Cimarron Cove residential
site plan within the pending Parcel 3 1.04 Mixed Use Planned Community District (PCD). These
plans have bee revised to reflect the comments from the January 24,2006 Planning, Zoning and
Appeals Board meeting, subsequent meetings with PZA Board members, City staff members and
our continuing coordination with the landowners for the commercial portion of the PCD.
The submitted plans reflect the following changes to the pro-ject:

..
The architectural mix within the Cimarron Cove site plan has been varied. Each of the three
building types proposed (two-story, three-story and twohhree story buildings) will feature
Mediterranean and Anglo Caribbean styles of architecture.
The roof tile for the Anglo Caribbean have been modified from the previously-requested
asphalt shingle to a flat tile. An example of the flat tile will be provided to staff prior to the
Planning, Zoning and Appeals Public Hearing on this project. Also, additional architectural
improvements have been made to address the PZA Board member comments.
The applicant has coordinated with the landowner of the commercial portion of the Parcel
3 1.04 PCD to includes consistent features throughout the project. These common features
include landscaping pallettes, pavers, column features, pedestrian and vehicular connections,
and street furniture. In addition, the bridge design has been added to the plans. This high
quality bridge structure will provide an iconic, pedestrian-friendly link between the
commercial and residential portions of the site.
The multiple pedestrian gathering spaces located throughout the Cimarron Cove site plan
have been further refined and enhanced and more details have been provided.
The color pallette for the residential buildings have been modified in
response to PZL4 Board member cgmmen

In response to the discussions regarding the reduced parking spaces on some of the building
within the project, parking will be prohibited in these areas. As a means of enforcing this
prohibition, the applicant is proposing the following condition of approval:
There shall be no parking allowed within the reduced-length driveways within the project.
The Community Association and/or the City of Palm Beach Gardens may impose fines
for any illegally parked vehicles. The Association shall have the right to authorize the
towing away of any vehicles which violate the condition or the rules and regulations of
the Association. If any vehicles have to be towed and/or incur fines for illegal parking,
such fines and towing expenses shall be the sole responsibility of the homeowner. The
Association may incur fines from the City of Palm Beach Gardens if the Home Owner
does not rectify any parking problem and should this be the case, the Home Owner shall
be solely responsible for reimbursing the Association.

Re: Transfer of DweIling Units to Parcel 31.04
Dear Mr. Angelo:
This letter is in response to your correspondence dated July 25, 2003, to confirm the transfer of
162 residential dwelling units to Parcel 3 1.04 from the Old Palm Golf Club Planned Community
Development (PCD).
As you are aware, the City has approved the transfer of dwelling units among the sub-parcels
within Parcel 3 1. Based on the density permitted by the Forbearance Agreement, the Old Palm
PCD was allowed 1,953 residential dwelling units. However, the Old Palm PCD was approved
for 333 residential dwelling units, which left a balance of 1,620 dwelling units that could be
transferred amongst the Parcel 3 1 sub-parcels. 0 On January 2, 2003, the City approved the transfer of 75 dwelling units to Parcels 31.06 and
31.07 from the aforesaid balance of 1,620 dwelling units, leaving a balance of 1,545 dwelling
units. The currently requested transfer of 162 dwelling units from the remaining balance of
1,545, leaves a new balance of 1,383 dwelling units that could be transferred amongst the Parcel
3 1 sub-parcels, provided concurrency for this level of development is granted.
Parcel 3 1.04 is permitted a maximum of 91 residential dwelling units under the current Mixed
Use (MXD) land-use designation (50.58 acres x 60% maximum area for residential use x three
(3) dwelling units/acre per the Forbearance Agreement). The transfer of the 162 dwelling units,
together with the 91 dwelling units permitted under the MXD land-use designation, results in a
maximum of 253 residential dwelling units permitted for Parcel 3 1.04, provided concurrency for
this level of development is granted.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact Talal Benothman,

Date Prepared: April 13,2006
Meeting Date: April 25,2006
Petition: PUDA-05-09-01
0 On December 16, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution 216, 2004 (the
“Development Order”) (attached), with waivers and conditions, thereby approving the
development order for the subject property referred to as the “RCA Center Planned Unit
Development” (PUD) (the “Project”).
The Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board (PZAB) held a public hearing on January 10,
2006, for a request by RCA Center I1 of Florida, LLC, for approval of an amendment to the
RCA Center Planned Unit Development to allow (I) a reallocation of square footage
between certain buildings on site; (2) revised footprints and elevations of certain buildings
to accommodate the changes in square footage; (3) the introduction of a parking structure;
and (4) other minor changes to the site and landscape plans. The Board voted 6-1 to
approve the subject petition and, as part of the motion, recommended that the applicant
address the concerns raised by the Board relative to (I) building color schemes; (2) minor
modifications to the architecture of the garage structure; and (3) an increase the width of
the parking spaces within the garage to nine and one-half (9.5) feet. The applicant has
since revised the development plans to address of the aforementioned concerns. The
subject petition will be heard by the City Council on May 4,2006.
Subsequent to the PZAB hearing, the applicant has requested to amend certain conditions
of approval established in the Development Order. Since modifications to conditions of
approval are considered Major Amendments per the LDRs, staff requested that the
proposed modifications be heard by the PZAB prior to the entire petition, including the 0 plan modifications already reviewed by the PZAB, being heard by the City Council.
APPLICANT’S REQUEST
The applicant is requesting the following modifications to certain conditions of approval
established in the Development Order, as noted in the attached letter prepared by the
applicant dated April 11, 2006:
*:* Existing Condition 14 (b): “The Applicant shall, prior to the issuance of the first
Certificate of Occupancy for Parcel 5B, design, build, and construct the “5B Road as
a two (2) lane divided roadway with landscaped median within a fifty (50) foot
right-of-way. The east 15 feet and the west 15 feet of the So-foot right-of-way may
be utilized for landscape buffer calculations and setback requirements.”
Note: The “5B Road is defined in the Development Order as that portion of RCA
Center Drive that is shown on the Linkage Plan (future north/south road extending
from RCA Boulevard through the Project underneath the PGA Flyover to the future
extension of Kyoto Gardens Drive) from its present northern terminus (portion of
right-of-way extending north of RCA Boulevard between Hilda Flack Interiors and
the Hampton Inn) to the northern boundary of the Project.
Applicant’s Request and Justification (as stated bv the applicant in the attached
narrative): The applicant is requesting to modify the above condition due to the
limited access on Parcel pl. As shown in the attachedplan, entitled “Construction 0
L
Date Prepared April 13,2006
Meeting Date: April 25,2006
Petition: PUDA-05-09-01
Trafic/Access,” the NE corner of Parcel 5B is the only viable access point to Parcel
9 for construction tr~fi~ because of the existing lake along Military Trail and the
FEC Railway along Alternate Ad. Therefore, the applicant is required to use the
northern half of RCA Center Drive within Parcel 5B for hauling construction
materials required to build Kyoto Gardens Drive and the associated bridge. The
size and weight of the required construction vehicles would significantly damage
the new road with landscaped median.
Therefore, the applicant is hereby requesting to revise Condition 14 (b) to require
completion of the portion of RCA Center Drive north of its intersection with Design
Center Drive (East/West Road) by the last Cert3cate of Occupancy west of the
RCA Center Drive or by the completion of Kyoto Gardens Drive, whichever comes
first.
Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the applicant’s justification that
construction traffic for Kyoto Gardens Drive may cause some damage to a finished
roadway with curbing and landscaped medians, however does not recommend that
the construction of said portion of RCA Center Drive be delayed until the issuance of
the last Certificate of Occupancy (CO) on site. Access across the north portion of the
Project to Parcel 5A is only needed until such time when the bridge on the west end
of Kyoto Gardens Drive adjacent to Military Trail is completed. Once constructed,
the bridge will be the primary access for construction vehicles to access Parcel to
complete the construction of Kyoto Gardens Drive and the Road. It is staffs
opinion that the bridge’s construction should be a priority for the applicant.
Staff recommends that the condition be amended such that the portion of RCA
Center Drive north of its intersection with Design Center Drive should be completed
prior to the first CO for the portion of the site bounded by PGA Boulevard to the
north, RCA Boulevard to the west, Design Center Drive to the south, and RCA
Center Drive to the east (hereinafter referred to as the “Northwest Pod”). The
remaining portion of the 5B Road will still be required to be completed prior to the
first CO for the Project.
Staff recommends that the condition read as follows:
”The Applicant shall, prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy for Parcel 5B, design, build, and construct the “5B Road,”
with the exceution of the uortion of said road north of its intersection
with Design Center Drive. which shall be comdeted urior to the first
Certificate of Occupancv within the Northwest Pod. Said road shall be
constructed as a two (2) lane divided roadway with landscaped median
within an eighty Aay (850) foot right-of-way. The east 15 feet and the
west 15 feet of the So-foot right-of-way may be utilized for landscape
buffer calculations and setback requirements. (Citv En6neer)”

Certificate of Occupancy for Parcel 5B, design, build, and construct the “5A Road as
a two (2) lane divided roadway with landscaped median within a 50-foot right-of- 0

way. The east 15 feet and the west 15 feet of the 80-foot right of way may be utilized
for landscape buffer calculations and setback requirements.”
Note: The “5A Road is defined in the Development Order as that portion of RCA
Center Drive connecting the 5B Road to Kyoto Gardens Drive.
ADDliCant’S Request and Justification: The applicant is requesting to revise this
condition due the projected construction traffic on this road due to the limited
access to Parcel a. Similar to the 5B Road, the Road will be used for hauling
construction materials required to build Kyoto Gardens Drive and the associated
bridge. The sue and weight of the required construction vehicles would
significantly damage the new road with landscaped median.
Additionally, permitting for the @ Road has been delayed due to new information
received on February 22, 2006, from the Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA)
regarding their request to place transmission lines within the Parcel @ roads (see
attached letter). The applicant agreed to revise their plans to accommodate SUA;
however, this information required significant changes to the plans, slowing the
approval process and construction timeframes.
Therefore, the applicant is hereby requesting to revise Condition 15 (b) to allow
construction of the road to be completed prior to the first Certificate of
Occupancy for Parcel ,yl or by the completion of Kyoto Gardens Drive, whichever
comesfirs t.
Staff Recommendation: Staff agrees with the applicant’s justification that the
construction of the Road will be delayed due to the recent request by SUA to
place utilities within the road and other unforeseen complications associated with
the permitting of the road. However, staff does not recommend that the
construction of said road be delayed until the issuance of the first CO for Parcel 5A.
The timely construction of the 5A Road and Kyoto Gardens Drive are of utmost
importance to the City. Staff recommends that the condition be amended as
follows:
“By January 1. 2008. tThe Applicant shall-
fi,,, design, build, and
substantially complete eei&mw# the ‘‘SA Road” and the portion of Kyoto
Gardens Drive connecting - the SA Road to Militarv Trail. The SA Road
shall be constructed as a two (2) lane divided roadway with landscaped
median within an5o-foot right-of-way. The east 15 feet and the west 15
feet of the So-foot right-of-way may be utilized for landscape buffer
calculations and setback requirements. Failure of the adicant to meet
this deadline shall result in the issuance of a stop work order for the
project for all construction activities not required for the construction
of said roads as well as the ceasing of issuance of Certificates of
Occupancy for the project until such time when the roads are complete.
The issuance of a stoD work order shall be in addition to any other

enforcement methods available to the Citv to ensure compliance with
this condition. (City Engineer)”
*:e Existing Condition 16: “Within six (6) months of the issuance of the first clearing
permit, the landscaping shall be installed within: (I) the medians and adjacent road
shoulders within the portions of PGA Boulevard and RCA Boulevard adjacent to the
property, unless landscaping is installed in said areas by the FDOT as part of the
PGA Flyover project; and (2) the landscape buffers along PGA Boulevard, RCA
Boulevard, and Alternate AL~. The Growth Management Administrator shall be
authorized to grant up to two (2), three (3) month extensions to this requirement
upon demonstration by the Applicant of a good-faith effort to satisfy the same in a
timely manner. (City Forester)”
ADplicant’s Request and Justification: The applicant has been working with both the
City of Palm Beach Gardens and the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council to
redesign the site consistent with the principles of a Transit Oriented Development
(TOO). This redesign has altered the requirements for the landscape buffers, and the
installation of the buffers at this time would be premature as the revised plans have
yet to be approved. Additionally, the redesign promoted by both the City and TCRPC
required the reconjiguration of Lake #I, and therefore, the applicant has been unable
to install master irrigation system for the project due to the required changes.
The reality is that the installation of the landscaping 6 months after the issuance of the
clearing permit does not coincide with typical construction sequencing. This condition
was specifically problematic for this project as the applicant is utilizing tilt-up
construction methods combined with an urban development plan which located
buildings very close to the street. Any landscaping installed between the ROW and
building would be destroyed during construction.
Therefore, the applicant is hereby requesting to revise Condition 16 to require each
portion of the buffer along RCA Drive to be completed with thefirst Certificate of
Occupancy for the adjacent pod. The buffer along PGA Boulevard will be
completed prior to the first Cert$cate of Occupancy for the Northwest Pod. See
attached plan.
Please be aware that the applicant satisfied Part I of Condition 16 on March 15, as
the required landscaping within the ROW was installed along RCA Drive.
Staff Recommendation: Based on recent issues with the installation of buffers
during the construction phase of projects of this nature with buildings adjacent to
the buffers, staff has reevaluated its previous policy of requiring buffers to be
installed within six (6) months of clearing and prior to the construction of adjacent
buildings. Instead, staff will request that buffers within projects of this nature be
installed prior to the Certificate of Occupancy for the adjacent buildings. (Note:
Conditions related to the same may differ slightly from project to project based on
differences in site plans, site locations, etc.). Staff agrees with the applicant’s
justification and recommends that the condition be deleted in its entirety and
replaced by the following conditions:

Date Prepared: April 13,2006
Meeting Date: April 25,2006
Petition: PUDA-05-09-01
“Prior to the first Certificate of Occupancy for the Northwest Pod, all
of the landscauing buffers within the Northwest Pod shall be
comuleted. with the exceution of those buffers immediately adiacent
to Buildings .? and 4, which shall be completed urior to the
Certificates of Occuvancv for those buildings. (Citv Forester)”
“Prior to the first Certificate of Occuvancv for the uortion of the site
bounded by Design - Center Drive to the north, RCA Center Drive to
the east, RCA Boulevard to the west, and the Gardens Station PUD to
the south. herein after referred to as the “Southwest Pod”. all of the
landscauing buffers for the Southwest Pod and the landscaaing
surrounding Lake #2, including the east and south buffers shall be
installed. The remainder of the landscape buffers within the vortion
of the site east of RCA Center Drive shall be installed concurrently
with the develoument of that portion of the site. (Citv Forester)”
-3 Existing Condition 17: “Prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy,
the landscaping shall be installed within the medians and road shoulders within
both the north/south and east/west thoroughfares within the property.”
Staff Recommendation: Based on the above-referenced modifications to Conditions
14(b) and 15(b), this condition is no longer required and should be deleted in its
entirety.
*:* New Condition Requested by Staff: Based on a recent policy by the City to
require construction fencing with a privacy tarp around construction sites in order
to provide screening for passers-by, staff is requesting that the applicant provide the
same on site within six (6) weeks of the approval of the subject petition.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that a new condition be included in the
approving resolution that reads as follows:
“By (six (6) weeks from the adoption of this resolution). the
auulicant shall erect a six 16) foot tall construction fence with a urivacy
tam along the entire uropertv line adjacent to RCA Boulevard and any
portion of PGA Boulevard that is below the height of the fence. Failure
by the auulicant to comvlv with this deadline shall result in the ceasing
of insvections or issuance of permits for the proiect by the City, which
shall be in addition to any other enforcement methods available to the
City to ensure compliance with this condition. (Planninv and Zoning).”
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the requested modifications as noted under the “Staff
Recommendation” portions of this report. 0

City of Palm Beach Gardens
Growth Management Department
10500 North Military Trail
Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
RE: PGA Professional and Design Center (Parcel 5B)
Resolution 216.2004
Dear Mr. Sanchez:
Please accept this letter as my formal request to amend certain conditions in Resolution 2 16,2004. e
the Development Order for the PGA Pro’fessional and Design Center project.
Condition 14 (b) - The Applicant shall, prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy for Parcel 5B, design, build, and construct the “5B Road” as a two (2) lane
divided roadway with landscaped median within a fifty (50) foot right-of-way. The east
1.5 feet and the west 15 feet of the SO-foot right-of-way may be utilized for landscape
buffer calculations and setback requirements. (City Engineer)
The applicant is requesting to modIfv the above condition due to the limited access on
Parcel SA As shown in the attachedplan, the NE corner of SB is the only viable access
point IO Parcel 5A for construction trafic because of the existing lake along Military
Trail and the FEC Railway along Alt. AIA. Therefore, the applicant is required to use
the northern half of RCA Center drive within Parcel 5B for hauling construction
materials required to build Kyoto Gardens Drive and the associated bridge. The size and
weight of the required construction vehicles would significantly damage the new road
with landscaped median.
Therefore, the applicant is hereby requesting to revise Condition 14 (b) to require
completion of the northern halfof RCA Center Drive by the last Certificate of Occupancy
wes; of the RCA Center Drive or by the
comes first.
Y
Condition 15 (b) - The Applicant shall, prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of
Occupancy for Parcel SB, design, build, and construct the "SA Road" as a two (2) lane
divided roadway with landscaped median within a SO-foot right-of-way. The east 15 feet
and the west 15 feet of the 80-foot right of way may be utilized for landscape buffer
calculations and setback requirements.
Again, the applicant is requesting to revise this condition due the projected construction
traffic on this road due to the limited access to Parcel SA. Similar to the 5B road, the 5A
road will be used for hauling construction materials required to build Kyoto Gardens
Drive and the associated bridge. The size and weight of the required construction
vehicles would significantly damage the new road with landscaped median.
Additionally, permitting for the 5A Road has been delayed due to new information
received on February 22, 2006from SUA regarding their request to place transmission
lines within the Parcel 5A roads (see attached letter). The applicant agreed to revise
their plans to accommodate SUA, however, this information required significant changes
to the plans, slowing the approval process and construction timeframes.
Therefore, the applicant is hereby requesting to revise Condition 15 (b) to allow
construction of the 5A road to be completedprior to the first Certificate of Occupancy
for Parcel 5A or by the completion of Kyoto Gardens Drive, whichever comes first.
Condition 16 - Within six (6) months of the issuance of the first clearing permit, the
landscaping shall be installed within: (1) the medians and adjacent road shoulders within
the portions of PGA Boulevard and RCA Boulevard adjacent to the property, unless
landscaping is installed in said areas by the FDOT as part of the PGA Flyover project;
and (2) the landscape buffers along PGA Boulevard7
landscaping within the buffer alone, Alternate A1 A shall be installed concurrently with
the development of the portion of the site east of RCA Center Drive. The Growth
Management Administrator shall be authorized to grant up to two (2), three (3) month
extensions to this requirement upon demonstration by the Applicant of a good-faith effort
to satisfy the same in a timely manner. (City Forester)
The applicant has been working with both the City of Palm Beach Gardens and the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council to redesign the site consistent with the principles of TOD.
This redesign has altered the requirements for the landscape buffers and the installation of
the buffers at this time would be premature as the revised plans have yet to be approved.
Additionally, the redesign promoted by both the City and TCRPC required the
reconfipration of Lake #I and therefore. the applicant has been unable to install master
irrigation system for the project due to the required changes.

RCA Boulevard:&
The reality is that the installation of the landscaping 6 months afrer the issuance of the
clearing permit does not coincide with typical construction sequencing. This condition was
specijically problematic for this project as the applicant is utilizing tilt-up construction
method combined with an urban development plan which located buildings very close to the
street. Any landscaping installed between the ROW and building would be destroyed during
construction.
Therefore, the applicant is hereby requesting to revise Condition 16 to require each
portion of the buffer along RCA Drive to be completed with the first Certijicate of
Occupancy for the adjacent pod The buffer along PGA Boulevard will be completed
prior to the first Certijkate of Occupancy for the North pod. See attachedplan.
Please be aware that the applicant satisfied Part I of Condition 16 on March 15, as the
required landscaping within the ROWwas installed along RCA Drive.
Condition 35 - Prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy, the property
shall be replatted. Said replat shall dedicate the thoroughfares within the property to the
City. (Planning & Zoning)
The City requires that all existing and proposed easements be shown on plats/replats.
However, due to the scheduling of the project, the applicant will be requiring the first
certificate of occupancy prior to finalizing the easement locations on the northern half of
the project. Therefore, in order to provide an accurate plat, the applicant is hereby
requesting to revise Condition 35 so that the replat is requiredprior to the last certificate
of occupancy for buildings west of RCA Center Drive. It should be noted that there is
boundary plat for the property and the ROWS were deeded to the City as part of Parcel
5B S administrative time extension.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions or require additional information,
please do not hesitate to contact me at 624-9697, extension 5 1 1.

use its best efforts to review and permitt road plans submitted by Catalfumo Entities in
connection with said road work and as soon as practicable issue work permits as
necessary to allow Catalfumo Entities to meet the required time schedules.
2. Catalfumo Entities shall be responsible for the cost of constructing a 2-lane
divided (similar to the 58 Roadway approved by Resolution 216, 2004 PUD Approval)
road only with the City obligated to pay the increased costs caused by the City's
requirement that the Kyoto Drive Improvements provide 4 lanes when first constructed.
City shall also be obligated to pay for the cost of the FEC railroad crossing and related
improvements. The City agrees to reimburse the Catalfumo Entities its share of the
monthly contractor invoice in accordance with the Estimates attached hereto as Exhibit

payments to the FEC.
3. Catalfumo Entities shall provide a Bond satisfactory to the City Manager in the
estimated amount required to construct its 2-lane share of the Kyoto Drive
Improvements in a format acceptable to the City Attorney and as required in PUD

assume the responsibility for construction of the roadway; the City may use a two
square acre area of land immediately north of the north Kyoto Gardens Drive Right-of-
Way line (in the vicinity of the bridge) for the purposes of draining the road. Further, this
agreement maybe used to demonstrate to permitting agencies that water quality
requirements maybe met within that two acre area and that the City has the legal rights
to excavate and use that acreage for drainage purposes.

construction requirements as set forth in the Stipulated Final Order and other related

construction of the Kyoto Drive Improvements. If possible, the contractors selected
shall be ones that have current, ongoing, public construction projects that the City can
"piggy-back" onto in order to satisfy the waiver requirements for the public bidding of the
City's portion of the Kyoto Drive Improvements. It is acknowledged that, in any event, it
is not practicable to obtain separate contractors to bid on the expansion of the Kyoto
Drive Improvements from 2-lane road improvements required to be constructed by the
