I look for a motion at a second. Motion to approve. Second. Any discussion? All in favor? Aye. Aye. All in favor. Hi. Hi. Hi. Anybody opposed? Nope. Okay. First item is a regular public hearing. It's the Compliance of Plan Thurough Fair Protection Map Amendment, which is going to be presented to us by Jim Bell. Thank you, Chair Saville. Again, Jim Bell with the Development Services Department. Actually, I have not been sworn in because I just got here Although the site on this not quite I guess you saw yesterday. I guess you're so excited for I'm gonna be just a small I do need to read the item in though. Yeah, okay. Thank you Comprehensive plan thoroughfare protection map amendment. An ordinance in city, Boca Raton considering an amendment to the thoroughfare right of way protection map of the comprehensive plan by redesignating a certain segment of Northwest 5th Avenue right of way requiring protection consisting of approximately 1,301 feet in length, generally located west of 2500 and 2600 north west 5th Avenue from 100 feet to 90 feet in width providing for repeal or providing an effective date. Thank you Mr. Bell Now it's her time. Okay again Jim Bell with the development services department Tonight I'm presenting a city initiated application to amend the city's adopted thoroughfare right away protection map in the comprehensive plan. Specifically, the amendment is to reduce the width of an approximately 1,301 foot long easement, I'm sorry, segment of the right away protection area for Northwest Fifth Avenue. Generally located north of Northwest 22nd Street and south of Northwest 35th Street from 100 feet to 90 feet, a reduction of 10 feet. The city's adopted thoroughfare right away protection map designates the continuous roadway known as Northwest Fifth Avenue which is also called Northwest Fourth Avenue and Northwest Sixth Avenue, excuse me, in some areas of the city from Spanish River to just south of West Queen of Rial to Spanish River Boulevard as a roadway that requires a right-away protection area of 100 feet in width. The road right-away for the segment of Northwest Fifth Avenue, specifically north of J.C. Mitchell Elementary School and south of the Windwood community, is shown as a 50 feet in width segment on the plat of Bokehrod-Tone Hill section and directly abuts the El Rio Canal right away. In 1950, this time, the road, at the time this road was platted, the 50 foot wide road right away, consistent of the eastern 25 feet of the existing El Rio Canal right away and 25 feet of new road right away. The current location of Northwest Fifth Avenue and its improvements currently encroaches into the right-away, specifically portions of the southbound lane of Northwest Fifth Avenue, for the El Rio Canal beyond the 25-foot wide portion that was included in the plat of Bokeh Arton Hill, section three, by another approximately 26 feet for a total of 51 feet. As part of the analysis for this map amendment, municipal services department of the city created an exhibit entitled Right Away of Exhibit depicting Northwest Fifth Avenue and L. Real Canal Right Away from various sources to graphically depict the recorded dedication areas for the El Real Canal and Northwest Fifth Avenue and how they relate to what is shown on the screen. Two projects are directly impacted by this proposed amendment. The first is an application for a minor site plan amendment that has been submitted by the existing French American International School at the Connected Life Christian Church, which is located at 2500 Northwest Fifth Avenue, and it's an increase to increase student enrollment from 22 students to 160 students and to make minor site plan improvements. The second project is for a new 120-foot unit multifamily residential development known as the villas on Fifth Avenue at 2600 Northwest Fifth Avenue, which will be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board for a recommendation to City Council immediately following this request. By reducing the right away from 100 feet to 90 feet on the Thurough Fair right away protection map, the right away dedication required from both the French American School and the Villas on Fifth will reduce from 50 feet to 14 feet. Therefore, minimizing parking and other site impacts for the French-American School and allowing the villas project to construct additional dwelling units and provide associated site improvements on their property. To accomplish a four-lane roadway in the segment of Northwest 5th Avenue, budding the projects, budding the projects, municipal service determined that a 14-foot wide right away easement dedication is needed. Both the French American School and the Villasan V projects, as submitted, are contingent on the proposed amendment to the thoroughfare right-of-may protection map and both would require a significant redesign if this request is not approved. While the design of Northwest Fifth Avenue Whiting Project has not been finalized, the municipal service department produced a conceptual illustration which you see on this depiction here of how a complete four-lane street with multimodal features can be accommodated within a 90-foot right away. This right away, we've considered the 50-foot platted right away, the existing 26-foot encroachment into the El Rio Canal right away, and a 14-foot wide dedication from the owners to the east. Staff has reviewed the criteria to amend the Comprehensive Plan and found that the proposed amendment to the city's adopted thoroughfare right away plan protection map meets these criteria, and that the proposed amendment is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the comprehensive plan. The proposed amendment will allow the dedication of Therophair rights ways appropriate for the construction of the transportation network, including a plan, four lane, complete street with multimodal features within a 90 foot wide right away for Northwest 5th Avenue. And in conclusion, the development services department is recommending approval of this site of this thoroughfare or protection map amendment. And I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have at this time. Thank you. Questions for staff, Mr. Salon. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. So are the property owners for the villas on Fifth Avenue? Are they relinquishing some of their property to increase the right of point? Well, this map of them, it would mean they're not relinquishing any right of way to from their property. Okay, thank you. Just. Okay, that it? Mrs. Salon, do you have something else? Mr. Is that it? Is this a lawn? Do you have something else? No, Mr. Dornblaser? No questions. Mr. Richie? No questions. No questions at this time. Mr. Robert? None, thank you. Chair has no questions. This is a public hearing. Is anybody from the public wishing to speak on this particular item? Did you fill out a card? I did. Okay, come on. I said for bill as well. No, okay, that's next. Okay, okay. I thought I was really going to fill out a card. All right. Okay, seeing none, I'll ask for a motion in a second to approve. Well, oh. Do you have cards on? Did you fill out the card for the bill? Not for the card, I don't know. For the bill was on 50s. I have an item in the bill. Is it for the villas or for this road? Why wasn't this notice? This is an item for the bill. This is a big request. Okay. Okay. Does anyone want to speak on this particular item? Or do you want to speak on this particular item or do you want to speak on the okay come up sir? Did you fill out a card? Yes. Please state your name and address for the record you have three minutes. Thank you. Dennis Girishkin, I'm at 1144 Southwest 7th Street. I also own property in the Wynwood subdivision but this right of way reduction that's It's a greater concern than just win wood. It's on behalf of the city, the citizens would lose out if this is approved. Mainly because looking at the typical section in your backup, it has substandard median wits and substandard lane wits and substandard lane widths and accordance with the Florida Green Book, which has jurisdiction over municipal roads. So if you were to apply the correct standards to it, it would require the full 100 right away width. Also the trees, shade trees, narrow median would not support the shade trees as well as a wider median would because of the roots and hurricanes and a tendency for them to fall over. So the other thing, the greater concern is it sets a precedent along the whole corridor. We're giving up this right of way because you know of development and I don't I think they could redesign development to fit you know by dedicating that extra 10 feet or dedicating the full width I should say So that's my request is that this item be denied and it's entirety. We're giving up a very valuable public asset for I don't think any good reason. Now, thank you for your time. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Okay. All right. Everybody, this is gonna be a very long meeting and I appreciate it if nobody clapped or made verbal comments. Thank you. Is the mic ready on? Yes. Please stick your name in the address of the record. You have three minutes. Marcus Wood, four or three button wood place, win wood. Been a resident there since approximately 1986. Seen a lot of changes developing the area, especially when they added the Spanish River interchange. Don't do a lot of traffic into the neighborhood. It wasn't provided for this road. Does not support the amount of traffic that's on it currently. And if you widen this road based on what I just saw, you know, I wasn't noticed for it. I was noticed for the other item, but not for this item. And of course, they duped hell together. You can't get one without the other and vice versa. So it should have been a separate notice, I feel. And it wasn't. So I'd also like to state that the gate at the windward where the residents come in is, I don't know how many feet it is away, but if you're gonna encroach in to that, it's gonna back traffic out on to the road because there's fewer cars that can queue up, waiting to gain access from the security. So unless they want to pay them, we have our gate, another 20 or 30 feet into the community to accommodate this. I don't see any legitimate reason why you should go through with that type of construction. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Is there anyone else? Yes, right here. Okay. Hi, my name is Neil Temple, 415 button wood place. We would, I went through this exercise in 2020 when the mayor and the deputy mayor turned down the last proposal of student housing. Not to repeat what Mark has said, but I'm totally confused with back a year ago in 2023. The application and the city had all kinds of questions of the builder or the possible planning board and the area in which the property is located has been established in the city's flume as an area primarily designated for low density multi-family residential projects to serve as a buffer between FAU West and the National Assembly, and I think that the government is going to be following FAU West and Wendwood residential community. Now I'm not against some kind of housing going in there. I mean, I have a history. I live this since 2002. I'm not against that, but moving from low density to high density is not good for, and I don't know about the city charter but the bottom line is is that I don't understand other than the owners wanting to do this and as Marcus would just said second avenue and northwest fifth sixth way and fourth have become a racetrack. I mean, again, like Kisa, FAU interchange with Spanish River is just crazy. And, you know, there was a proposal years ago at the end of sixth-way across Spanish River, to build a housing development in there, along with a public and whatever else commercial property. And but in 2020, this last proposal, they were going to widen, even the woman in charge of not traffic, but whatever a title is they were going to widen north west 5th to 4 lanes and That has never happened. I don't know what the proposal is but to raise this from low density to high density is not correct for the community area and I hope that you turn this request down. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Okay, that will be the project that's coming up next is where that should be discussed. Do we have someone else? Do you want to speak the board aware that in November 2023 City Council approved a board of the billage 14 South East Forest Street. I just want to make the board aware that in November 2023, City Council approved a complete street policy, which is encourages context-specific design. And then also I just want to make the board aware that the city does not currently own 100 feet right away. They currently own the own approximately 75 feet. So they are not giving up land that it doesn't already own. Thank you. Okay. Please state your name and address of the record and you have three minutes. There are different movers. Resident at 31 30 Kingswood Terrace for 11 years, currently. My concern is that we are setting a precedent like the first resident to speak stated, because I was looking at the minutes from prior hearings like this with the city, where you're making this exception from 100 feet to 70 feet gated reservoir. There is an acceptable, anybody that drives to Northwest 5th. We'll notice that right now, Windward, that has the required 100 feet. They're always like a lot of visitor traffic. And they are blocking the road, the traffic. Also, the study provided the 250 some pages does not take into account for the food traffic. There's a school there, JC Micheal, as I've not even mentioned, they have at least 900 students. So that is going to be affecting also those students, because if these cars are in the middle, like on Northwest 5th, there's not even enough space for them to, in this access to the gate is further reduced. Then it's going to create issues, people trying to cross. And so I am vehemently against this reduction of 170 to, I mean, 170. Also, they would create drainage issues, flooding, they would be cutting legend trees. I look at the property there, and we are already experiencing residents here in the city, no know lots of flooding. And so turning that into a cement 120 unit place is not gonna be helpful and furthermore, they are targeting students and you know their students, they generate a lot of traffic, visitors, whatever it is that they do, I'm not sure. I was a student a long time ago. So yes, so those are some of my concerns. And I imagine also from the neighbors that I spoke with, with whom I spoke with, they have the same concerns. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Donaldson, would you like to address that? Yes, sir. John Donaldson, 1-27734, is till. As Mr. Millich said earlier, last November, City Council passed the complete streets policy for the City of Boca Raton. One of the things that does is it allows for narrow lanes. You have narrow lanes, you have narrow medians, you have bicycle lanes, you have wider sidewalks, you have room for street trees. And what that does, it moves the traffic, but it also slows down the traffic. So for this particular road, you would be allowed 10 foot lanes. It'd be the speed would be under 45 miles an hour. You'd have a shoulder of approximately six feet. I think we have 10 feet between the travel lane and the bicycle lane up next to the next to the property along the east side. So be happy to answer any questions about the complete streets. But the gentleman earlier said, you know, the green book is basically the Bible here. It's not. 10 years ago it would have been. It's no longer the Bible for streets. Now it's complete streets with some elements of the green book thrown in. So thank you. OK, thank you, Mr. Dahlson. Does anyone else want to speak to the roadway amendment? I have a comment on the screen book thrown in. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Dahlson. Does anyone else want to speak to the road way amendment? Seeing none, I'll close the public hearing and look for a motion in a second to approve. I have a comment from staff. I want to make a point of clarification to Mr. Salon's question about the right away if the applicant had to give up any right away if the applicant had to give up any right away. Actually, they do have to give up 15 feet of right away. So I would like that to be clarified in the record that the applicant has given 15 feet of correctly up. Thank you. Okay. Look for motion in a second to approve. Discussion. Motion to approve. Second. Okay. Any discussion? Seeing none, Jamie, please call. Yeah. Yeah. I have to go to the discussion. So the applicant, currently we have 75 feet of right away. And the applicant on the villas is giving the city an additional 15 feet of right away. That means it's going to total 90 feet correct. Okay. And do we have an example of complete streets built out in the City of Bookerton? Not to my knowledge, not currently. The policy was just adopted as was stated. So this could be a prototype for one of those types of streets. Because I looked at the section, the proposed section that Staff had come up with. And I love that street section, with the protected bike lanes, the protected walkway, the trees separating the traffic from the people. And as Mr. Donaldson said, 10 foot wide roadways reduce speed. People just do it naturally, and that's what Fifth Avenue needs. We need the two lanes, but we need to reduce the speed and increase the safety. So if we can move forward with that proposal, I am all for that and I hope the city gets the message that that's what we want. No further comments. Okay, anybody else? Yes, Mr. Normalizer. I agree. I like to protect the bike lane on all of that. I think that's a major problem in Boka right now is you don't have that and bikers are always looking to get hit. But I do want to ask a question with the entrance to when would if this goes through and now the stacking for their gargate is reduced. Do we have to then go through a new site plan? I think or give them a variance if we have reduced stacking at their guard gate? No, the guard gate stacking is for this development, not for winwood. But if it goes all the way back down to the entrance of win wood, it's going to reduce the stacking from their guard gate out to the road. Well, we reviewed that. And when we get to that part of the presentation in the next amendment, you'll see that there's some internal flow inside. Like the box that you come in the gate is not right where the gate is. There's some part where you come in. And you actually for Fifth Avenue by parking for right so we the staff has determined that that it's not going to create a problem we're going to back into the roadway which then would flow into you know we've analyzed it and we feel it's an adequate situation the way the design of the gate box and at winwood not just at the Fifth Avenue I'm saying at the Fifth Avenue so that it won't spill into the roadway which would have then effect what that isn't my question, isn't on fifth avenue, it's on the existing Wynwood community there that has a guard gate. According to what I see on Google Maps, they have a guard gate. Right, but again, I would assume that the assumption would be that that would could trigger a problem with their gate if there is a bit right. And we're making the assumption that it's not going to do that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The section is, let me just check that again. I think the municipal service department would have to comment on that because the depiction I have have it just goes up to where the connected life church is. It doesn't necessarily go that far south. But I'm not quite sure if the plans are for the entire segment. Brandon Chateville, the services director. Do you, as your question, whether the new street design will go that far? Yes. Okay. I'm just commenting because somebody mentioned the students and as a mom who spent a lot of time in Carline and JC Mitchell, I can see this really being beneficial to the flow of traffic, especially at car line times people aren't supposed to be turning left, but they're doing it anyways and it's blocking people coming down. So I also really support the change in the road. Okay. Anybody else? No comment. Okay. Okay. In that? No comments? No comments. Okay. Okay. In that case, we're ready to vote. Jamie, please call the roll. Mr. Mitchell? Yes. Mr. Salon? Yes. Mr. Russia? Yes. Mr. Durham Blazer? No. Mr. Richie? Yes. And Chair Savon? Yes. Yes. And Chair Saville? Yes. Yes. Pass five to one. Okay. Okay. Next items are Quays Out judicial hearings and I would ask the city attorney to explain the procedure and then we will swear everyone in. I believe you, Mr. Chair, members of the Board, Chris Fernandez, Assistant City Attorney. The rules of the city council provide that each applicant requesting approval, relief or other action from the Planning and Zoning Board this evening shall disclose at the commencement or continuance of the public hearing any consideration or payment provided or committed directly or on its behalf for an agreement to support or withhold objection to the requested relief or action. A copy of the Quasadish of Rules governing tonight's public hearing are attached to the agenda and are available from the city clerk. Okay, thank you. Would everybody who's going to speak this evening please rise and be sworn in. Okay. Do you swear for how many testimony you give this public hearing will be truthful and accurate? Say yes, thank you. Okay. Thank you. The next item is 6A, the bill is on Fifth Avenue. Items 6A1 and 6A2 and 6A3 will be held contemporaneously but voted on separately. Jamie would you please read these items into the record? The last on 5th Avenue.

I would like to thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I spoke to David Millage and Marcus Wood. I had a conversation yesterday with Ellie Zacharitis and a Zoom meeting with David Millage this morning. I had a conversation with David Millage regarding this today as well. Okay, Mr. Bell, you can present now. Okay, thank you, Chair Seville. Again, Jim Bell with the Development Services department and I have been sworn in. The subject property is located at the southeast corner of northwest 5th Avenue in Woodwood Boulevard. I'll explain the applicants request in a little bit more detail on the following slides. Staff has received comments from residents in Woodwood regarding this project with issues related to traffic, people parking along the sidewalk, lack of turn lanes and adequate you turning movements and drainage. The applicant's request is for a site plan for construction of 22, 3-story, 33-foot-tall, multi-family residential buildings with a total of 120 units. It is a two-story building containing 500 and 364 square foot clubhouse and a swimming pool. This application also requires a technical deviation, the required minimum inbound reservoir distance from 100 feet to 70 feet, which is a 30 foot reduction. And the abandonment of portions of water sewer easements and a lake maintenance easement. But before the site plan can be approved, the future land use and zoning needs to be changed. The property is currently designated residential low with be approved the future land use and zoning needs to be changed the property is currently designated residential low With the city's future land use map allows for a maximum of 3.5 drilling units per acre to propose future land use of residential medium high allows for a maximum of 15 units per acre Staff has reviewed the proposed land use change in regard to these three things Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan in City Code, compatibility of surrounding land use and development, and availability of public services to the subject property also known as a concurrency evaluation. Staff found that the proposed future land use amendment from residential low to residential medium high is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in City Code. Additionally, staff notes that residential medium high is a compatible transition between the residential low and public institutional future land use designations that are adjacent to the property. Regarding concurrency, staff evaluated the demand for public services that would be generated by the uses on the site plan and found that the development will be adequately served by public facilities and will not negatively impact the regional roadway network or public school facilities or natural resources. The proposed feature-line use amendment is tied to the proposed site plan. The applicant's request also involves rezoning. The property is currently zone R3D or multifamily residential, which allows for maximum of three dwelling units per acre. The proposed R3B, multifamily residential zoning district, allows for maximum of 15 units per acre. Therefore, the proposed rezoning will increase the number of units allowed to be constructed from 24 to 120 units. The proposed rezoning from R3D to R3B is a consistent and compatible transition between the R1D zoning district to the north and east R3 zoning district to the south and P.L. zoning district to the west the proposed three-story townhouse building type is compatible with the adjacent town home neighborhood and the institutional uses in the area The application is reasonable and appropriate and consistent with the city's comprehensive plan. The proposed rezoning is also tied to the proposed site plan. So let's take a look at the site plan. This is actually the open space plan but I'm showing it to you because the coloring makes it easier to see what is being proposed and if you'll note the north arrow is facing sideways on the plan. On vehicular access to the property is by a proposed full access driveway on Northwest Fifth Avenue, which is classified as an intermediate driveway. Pedestrian access is provided by four sidewalk connections to the overall project and 16 individual and shared walkways to the individual units fronting Northwest Fifth Avenue. In terms of parking, 50 to 100 percent of the required parking for each unit is provided within garages that are directly connected to each unit. While this design reduces the area of the project set aside for surface parking, is an imperative that all garages be reserved for parking and not utilized for storage or any other use. Therefore, staff is recommending a site plan condition requiring that the declaration of covenants prohibit the conversion of garages into any use which would prevent the use of the garages for the parking of a vehicle. Terms of traffic, the proposed development is expected to result in an increase of 809 trips, an increase of 48 PM Picar trips and an increase of 61 PM Picar trips. Based on Palm Beach County traffic divisions review and an approval letter, the project is located when the coastal residential exemption area. Therefore, the project is exempt from traffic performance standards from Palm Beach County. The project will be required to pay for fair share road impact fees. In terms of site design, the proposed site design includes a two-story clubhouse with a pool, a 123-story three-bedroom townhouse style apartments within 22 buildings, with a contemporary architectural features, generally assembled on a one-way loop road. The buildings on the west side of the property are orientated towards Northwest Fifth Avenue and El Rio Canal and provide multiple pedestrian connections from the public sidewalk to the individual units from the Northwest Fifth Avenue. The project will dedicate a 14-foot wide right-of-way easement to provide spaces for a public sidewalk and street trees along Northwest Fifth Avenue. In terms of landscaping, the applicant is proposing an appropriate landscape buffer between the proposed townhome community and the existing townhomes in Winhwood. The proposed buffer's plant list is 100% Florida native and Wynwood's existing cement wall and chain link is proposed to remain in place as a barrier between both gated communities. The site plan requires one technical deviation for a reduction of required gated reservoir length. The city code requires a gated reservoir length of 100 feet and the siteone provides for 70 feet. The applicant's traffic consultant provided a technical deviation justification pursuant to the city code based on documents provided. The city traffic engineer does not object to the technical deviation to allow the reduction of the gated reservoir length because there is an effective throw-it length close to 108 feet from the existing edge of pavement. Additionally, gates are installed further within the site that when the where the call box is located which allows for more queuing storage. Here are some renderings of the units which have single car garages and single car driveways. The lower renderings are an example of building fronting Northwest Fifth Avenue. These are units with two car garages. Units with two car garages provide all the required parking for the unit inside the garage. In terms of analysis, staff supports the applicant's request for approval of the future land use amendment rezoning and site plan for the following reasons. The proposed future land use amendment is compatible with the surrounding uses. The proposed rezoning is reasonable and appropriate. The project is consistent with the comprehensive plan. There is adequate infrastructure to serve the project. The proposed townhouse building type and landscape offer is compatible with the adjacent townhouse neighborhood and the institutional uses in the area. The project will increase the number of three bedroom multi-family dwelling units available in the city. The buildings fronting, Northwest Fifth Avenue, engaged Northwest Fifth Avenue and the El Real Canal with pedestrian connections through their facade. And finally, the pedestrian environment will be enhanced with the addition of 45 street trees on the Northwest Fifth Avenue right away. And that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer your questions that you may have. Thank you, Mr. Bell. Mr. Mitchell, any questions? Just on the entrance, it appears and it sounds like you're describing that where the call box is is not where the gate is like in most communities It's so far in it would give them more room for them the three or four cars that could line up behind the call box. That's correct That's okay. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify that Mr. Roku No question Mr. Rucker. No questions for this time. Mr. Rishi. Mr. Dornblaser. No questions at this time. Mrs. Salon. No questions, thank you. With that, I'll open the public hearing and ask the petitioner to come up. Please state your name and address of the record. You have 20 minutes. Good evening, board. the Board. Please state your name and address of the record. You have 20 minutes. Good evening, Board. David Millage for the record. 14 Southeast Forest Street, Book of Routon. I would like to enter this presentation into the record. Tonight we're here to request, several requests from the Board for a eight acre property that's generally located on the east side of FAU, South of Spanish River, north of Glades Road. Here's a zoom in of the proposed site located at 2600 Northwest Fifth Avenue. The university is located to the left, an additional townhome condo project to the right, with more institutional uses north and south along northwest Fifth Avenue. So for the surrounding context, as I mentioned, this site is surrounded by institutional uses and ALF, schools, the university, and again, as I mentioned, the Wynwood community, which consists of a town home project and condos. So as it relates to the requests, we are requesting a future land use map amendment from RL to RMH. We're requesting a rezoning from R3D to R3B. And then we're also requesting site plan approval for 120 unit, 320 units, which are three bedroom dwelling units, three stories, a technical deviation from 100 feet to 70 feet for vehicle reservoir length, and then the abandonment of an easement and a lake maintenance agreement. So there is history to the project. Originally it was used as an ALF, and then it was demolished approximately in 2009. In 2021, a prior developer came in to seek approval for a larger project. It received a recommendation from the sport, and then during the city council meeting, it failed to get the required four votes in the affirmative. So I wanted to provide this graphic that shows you what was previously proposed versus what we're proposing tonight. As you can just tell from the 3D graphics, the prior proposal was a lot more intense. More of a traditional apartment project. Whereas you can see on the right hand side, this is row housing, traditional apartment project, whereas you can see on the right-hand side, this is row housing, traditional town homes, three stories walk up. We've reduced the number of units by 62. We've also reduced the height from 50 feet to 33 feet. We thought this was more appropriate with a surrounding area. So as it relates to the future land use map in the rezoning, we have a lot of rationale as to why this is appropriate. It's conveniently located and provide additional housing opportunities to the general area, to the working population. This is the definition of an infill development as it's conveniently located between major corridors. The development is characterized and compatible with the surrounding institutional and multi-family uses. It is, again, strategic located so that it has access to the L-REO Canal. It's close to the university and other employment generating properties. And again, this is appropriate as a transition between the other uses. This is consistent with a comprehensive plan through the land development practices that minimizes detrimental impacts to the land natural resources and urban infrastructure. It's a good use to public goods and services based off its location. It's providing adequate drainage, open space, and saving convenient onsite traffic flow. And it's designed to promote pedestrian bicycle and transit use, especially considering the future expanding of Fifth Avenue and the location of the El Rio Canal trail. Again, it provides balanced growth. It's adjacent to land uses which will be reviewed for compatibility. It is compatible based off of those surrounding uses. This project, as you can see, is consistent with several, several of the comprehensive plan policies. And further, you know, there's sidewalks connecting to the public right-aways. There's a street network. And then as it relates to go back to compatibility. So this proposed future land use is compatible with the surrounding areas. We have the university on the west. We have elementary school, church, Amoska, ALF. We have other condominium projects to the east. There's a three-story condo project along Spanish River. There's a three-story project at the corner of Northwest Fifth Avenue in Northwest 20th. So let's talk about the site plan. So again, we're requesting 120 units. There are three bedroom units. There's 22 of these row house buildings. Three stories, 33 feet in height. We're providing all the appropriate setbacks, per the code. The clubhouse and the amenities for this project are centrally located to prevent any other, adverse impacts to the surrounding area. And then as it relates to parking, we provide all the parking that's required by code plus an additional 25 spaces and we have two designated loading areas. So as it relates to the technical deviation, the technical deviation only really applies to the visitor lane. The code requirement is 100 feet, we're providing 70 feet. What's important to note is that we don't have gates preventing the visitors from leaving the property or getting out of the position that they're in. A visitor can easily do a U-turn to leave, they can actually pull forward to a parking space and then get help from the clubhouse. Residents, they have more than adequate space to enter, use the gate, and get access into the property. Again, another request we're making is the abandonment of utility easements and then also like maintenance agreement. The utility easings do not create a loop system. A new easement will be provided and determined during PWR. And for hicular access, it's one way in, one way out. They access the entrance gate on the south side of the clubhouse, follow a one way roadway, which is narrow, so therefore reduces speed and is a better option for the residents that live here. As it relates to pedestrian connectivity, there are four main pedestrian access points to the property which will connect you to the sidewalk along Northwest Fifth Avenue. There's also additional sidewalk, a good network of sidewalks within the community. And then along Fifth Avenue, there's 28 units which will have dedicated direct access for the residents. There's a lot of open space. The blue that you see there is not lakes. They are the building footprints. And then as it relates to Fifth Avenue, Fifth Avenue right now is a 75 foot right away. The total right away, based off of the previous agenda of item, based off of the thoroughfare protection map the city would want it to be 90 feet. The way that they're going to get 90 feet is from the adjacent owners. Traditionally whenever the city requires additional right away it comes from either side or both sides of the roadway. In this circumstance, the city's not gonna take seven and a half feet from their own property. They're gonna try to extract it from the developer. And in this instance, what we're doing to help provide that right of way is that one foot is coming from the El Rio Canal and then what we're offering is a 14 foot proposed right of wayaway easement which gets the city to their required 90-foot total right-away. This has been discussed with staff and this was what the agreement between utilities, public works, and planning staff. Based off of this 14-foot easement proffer, based off of the original purchase price from the developer, it's around $400,000 worth of value. And now I'm going to hand it off to our architect just to walk through the architectural style for this project. We have about four renderings and I'll pass it off and I'll be right back. Hi, my name is Peter Conradi, 7,000 North Federal Highway, Book of its Own. So the project started with the connectivity. It's an urban info project and we really wanted to have connection both to the public as well as connection within this site itself. Within the site there's a several sidewalks that are connected through gardens, these linear gardens. So there's a lot of vegetation and effort given to protect the pedestrian and give a good environment for them to be moving through. In this case this rendering right here shows the connection to Avenue. All the units here have a direct connection to the pedestrian or the public walk right up way. These buildings also have kind of like two frontages so that when you come up to the building, you have a frontage from the street, but also when you come in through the back as a resident, you also have frontage to your building from there. We took kind of like a village approach to this. We didn't want to be copy-paste like a bunch of short soldiers. So all the building elevations are slightly different. Even though on the interior, the floor plans are things are exact same, but we wanted to make it sure that it looks very different for each unit, so it's not so cookie cutter. This is the back of those. So you can see the second frontage. This is kind of your connection from the internal of the site itself. This unit is one of the internal units. The front of the unit is facing the garden. Again, we wanted to make sure all the buildings look different. I mean, not all the buildings. All the units have a different elevation look to it to give it kind of a different look to it. It's a four-sided architecture, so we focus both on the front, the side, as well as on the back. So even this is the alleyway site where the garage is, we still wanted to focus on giving a good quality elevation to the building as well. This is the recreation building, it's iconic or signature building of the site. This facade or elevations you're looking at is the one that's facing the entryway. It's a little bit more private and it doesn't have a lot of windows and gloss. You just want to create some privacy as you enter this. Like not everybody has to look into the building itself. As you move around the building, it starts to open up. Especially once you get to the back, you can see the whole building is kind of opened up. And this is again kind of a contemporary design that takes into consideration some of the older, like a portrait shape kind of a design to it. Thank you. So in summary, you know, the proposed future land use map amendment is compatible with the surrounding areas. The proposed rezoning is reasonable and appropriate. The project is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the city's code. There is adequate infrastructure. The proposed town home building type and landscape buffer is compatible with the adjacent town home neighborhood and institutional uses surrounding the project. The project will increase the number of three bedroom multifamily dwelling units available within the city and the building for foresides really activate Fifth Avenue and then the pedestrian environment is improved. A staff has recommended approval with conditions and as we speak of conditions I would like to quickly run through some revisions to the conditions that the applicant wishes the board to consider. The first condition is relating to section two. The applicant's concern relating to the condition is that the issue of the or the future land used map amendment ordinance being tied to the condition is that the issue of the future land used map amendment ordinance being tied to the site plan because we're worried that if the site plan ever has to be amended in the future we might actually have to amend the ordinance as well. The next one is condition three. Condition three relates to the undergrounding of the overhead power lines. The estimated easement. The applicant is providing a lot to the city. The concern with the undergrounding is if there are significant conflicts within the right away for the undergrounding, then they have run into a difficult position. And they need to be able to get the public access to the city and to get the public access to the city. And then the public access to the there are significant conflicts within the right away for the undergrounding, then they have run into a difficult position and they need flexibility relating to the undergrounding. The next one is more of a cleanup. You'll see this condition takes up three slides. It's related to a clomar and a lomar, which is a letter of map revision relating to flood zones. This property currently has flood zones of X, AE and AH. And based off of the proposed plans, all of this area is being filled in and elevated. So therefore, it qualifies for these map revisions. So we just wanted to provide clarity because this is, like I said, this is a very long condition and we needed to suggest revisions. Number seven, the city is asking us to voluntarily proper a contribution of about $60,000 for the city's beautification program. As I just mentioned, the applicants already outlaying 900,000 between undergrounding and the easement dedication. F relates to the actual easement that the applicant has profored. The applicant has profored a 14 foot easement. This condition still opens the door for the city to ask for more. So we've negotiated the 14 feet with city staff. That's what will provide. And we need clarity and certainty that that's all that we're going to provide. Continuing on number seven, the city's requesting us to provide a sidewalk easement. We think this is a little bit redundant considering we're providing a 14 foot right away easement, which should be included within that easement document. So this is really clean up. Number three further down. Again, this is just cleanup. Number four, the city's asking for a revocable license agreement relating to the street trees. We have no problem with providing that. However, in the event that the city widens Fifth Avenue and they remove the trees, we think this burden should be taken away. And then lastly, again, 10, 11 and 12 are really just for clarification purposes. Right now our gates on those front 28 units swing out into the sidewalk. We've agreed to redesign that so the gates swing inwards and will not encroach the sidewalk. We just want to make sure that we don't have to amend the site plan again. 11, deals with the widening of Fifth Avenue, and it pertains to the driveways and the sidewalks. Again, if the city's widening the Fifth Avenue, we think that we shouldn't need to revise our site plan again based off the city's plans. And the same goes with number 12 relating to the dry retention areas. Our site plan does not show any encroachments of the site, of the dry retention areas, but if it does happen based off the winding, all of these three items, 10, 11, and 12, really should be worked out through PWR or the building permit process. It really shouldn't require a site plan amendment. And that will do it for me. Happy to answer any questions, like to reserve any remaining time that I have. Okay. Questions for Mr. Millage? Mr. Rocca? No questions? Mr. Mitchell? Come back to me. Okay. Mr. Salon. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. How does staff feel about all of those modifications to the conditions? We have gone through all the conditions. Our primary concern is with the Lomar condition and the timing related to the provisions that are in there. Final permitting and temporary CO-asheal and some things like that. Could you kind of review that Omar statement? Would you mind putting that on that condition on the? So there is language pretty much towards the end of the condition that talks about certificate and occupancy issuance and there's mentioning of temporary CO. Some of that language in the beginning we're okay with because it's kind of procedural, but we're okay with the attainment of the issuance of the manious building permit. But the second part in here, you see that there's this final certificate of occupancy, and there is also mention of a temporary certificate of occupancy. Basically, we wanted to remain as written where it's just certificate of occupancy, and there is no temporary provision. Okay, so it sounds like between now and council meeting you guys could work out agreeable language for that. Right. I think so. Okay. Mr. Millage, the property currently is owned for how many units? I believe it's approximately 28 units, but staff can correct me if I'm wrong. Sorry, could you repeat the question? The property is currently owned for how many dwelling in. I can't remember my, give me one second. And while Mr. Bell is looking at that, Mr. Millage, I do know that the density, the current density is less than what Wynwood has. That is correct. Right. So if you had Wynwood's density, you would be able to have considerably more units. Yes. If we had Wynwood's density, which I don't know off the top of my head, I think it's 5 to 6 units an acre, it would be more than what was be permissible today. Sure, okay. I had asked you in our conversation earlier today a couple of questions. One of them was the three bedroom units. Do they, are they three bathroom units also? Yeah, for my understanding, I will confirm again with the developer, is that there are actually three and a half bathrooms. So it's three bedroom, three and a half bath. Okay. And for the board, my concern is that, you know, this may turn into a little bit of upscale student housing and please excuse me excuse me I have the floor. And I was concerned about the parking requirements. You know, they meet the parking requirements. Every unit has two dedicated private spaces and there's 120 units and there's 25 guest spaces. Once with double garages would have four spaces. Excuse me? The ones with double garages, they wouldn't. So for the record, the single garage is have a stackable driveway, so you have one in the garage and one in the driveway. The double garage has no driveway and their two spaces are inside the garage. Right? Okay. Is that correct? That is correct. Yeah, that is correct. Okay, yeah, that is correct. So I was concerned about the number of bathrooms which could lead to a problem with the parking. I also expressed concern about the courtyards. Every unit has a small courtyard, maybe a hundred square feet outside the front door and every courtyard is enclosed with a fence, and maybe there's 100 square feet of fake grass there for that. And I'm just not a fan of that, but I don't have a better idea on how they're going to maintain all these little individual courtyards. So even though I don't like it, I don't have a better suggestion for the applicant. I had a big problem with the dry retention areas. This is, I don't know if y'all saw that, that you go out your front door in some cases and you have your fake grass courtyard and then you have a dry retention area in front of you just like Dixie Manor had if you remember that. It's a drainage ditch and I suggested to the applicant that they take their drainage and do it at exfiltration drains underneath the paved areas and that would free up all that green area for legitimate level grass with shade trees and I suggested that to him and so Mr. Millage, what's your response to that? So we looked at this and our civil engineer is here and he can provide testimony. But based off of the existing city's well head, where part of the property is within a cone of influence. Based off of that cone of influence, we can't have ex-filtration trenches in those areas. This is on top of based off of the South Florida Water Management District. the water management district. And I'm getting above my pay grade, I'm going to invite our civil engineer to talk through how we heard your concern. Unfortunately, 100% of our drainage has to be retained on site. We don't have any outfalls to the El Rio Canal or anything else. So we've done what we can do with the available property to maintain capacity on site, but I'll give it over. Thank you, Mr. Millage. Good evening. My name is Jay Hubener, I'm with the Just Cue Group. I met 1,000 one-ato and Boca Ratona. I have been sworn in. And I am the Civil Engineering and this project. And that drainage on this project has been somewhat difficult. Mr. Millage has just described that there are the city's wells are on our property, which within the well field area, and I to have extra-trips and trench. Although that being said, we already do have extra-trips and trench areas that we can place it in there. South Florida Water Management District has requirements of how much trench you could be used towards stormwater management. We've already maximized that. So our system combined with the Rinalda, we did try to connect to the El Rio Canal. That was denied by the city earlier on. It is now what we call zero discharge site. We keep all the water on our property. As you may have noticed, we have a perimeter wall around the site to keep everything on site. And so it's a combination of detention areas, retention areas, and exotration trench to meet the overall stormwater management system. So unfortunately, the soils that we have in between those buildings there are requirements to meet our stormwater retention requirements. And there's no other way to achieve that. There's no way to achieve a level park-like area between those buildings with a drainage accommodated in some other manner. Well we spent time moving those areas around and you can kind of see we kind of pick little pockets in the corners or wherever we possibly could to try to store some water on site and we hear your concerns and we'd love to do that. It's just it's not eliminating them. It'd be moving them to another location. And and all those other areas that you see in purple on the screen there are the other areas that you see in purple on the screen there are the detention areas within the site that we're utilizing for someone to mention already. Did you say there is some ex filtration trench? Yes, there is. On the east side of the property, we are able to put exotration trench and already is all those roadways on the east side there where we're allowed to place it already have exotration trench underneath the roadways. OK, thank you, Mr. Hopper. OK. And if I may, Mr. Solan, as we are unable to provide more of a flat surface, we are based off our landscape plans and our civil plans we are providing bioswales as you know I mean these are good water quality devices that help pre-filter the water before percolating down this attracts wildlife bees butterflies It is very aesthetic. So these are just examples of other bioswales, as I'm sure you've seen in your own studies. But this is really what we're providing, absent of being able to totally make this area flat. Thank you, Mr. Miller. I did study the landscaping and I agree with you. Your landscape architect has done an outstanding job I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. I can't say that's a bad question. a guest parking minimum requirement or is that left for the developer to determine? No, it's kind of built into the ratio of the actual rate that we, you know, we determine for the multifamily, you know, two units per two and three bedroom, you know, units, two parking spaces. And so the fact that they're parking in the garage and have driveways, that also accommodates that. And so the fact that they're parking in the garage and have driveways, that also accommodates that. So in the garage and the stacking of the driveways, they're reaching the minimum code requirement and then they're providing an additional 25 spaces surface parking for visitors and guests and what have you. Correct. Okay, have you? Correct. Okay, thank you, Mr. Bell. No more questions. Wait, I just wanna provide your response to the tier question that you had before about the existing zoning would have allowed. 24 units and then if it was just a future land use, that would allow 28 units. So, and then they're proposing 120 units. So that's the difference. Okay, thank you, sir. Okay, all the way up to the seat. Don't I, sir? Yes, I want to, I would agree with Mr. Salon, I have the same concern with parking. I do see that it's two unit, that it's just parking in the garages. And 25 guest spaces seems very, very inadequate for 120 or further in number of units that you have out there. The other question, and we spoke about this during our meeting, is there, it doesn't seem there's anything to prevent anybody renting these to renting it to a group of students and having, you know, three, six students living in a three-bedroom, three bath, is there any way to prevent that either as a condition of approval or something along that line to prevent unrelated over X amount of unrelated people renting in the same unit? We have a rule in that already. that's not a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. So, I think that's a good thing. also are within our Mr. Dormelies. Thank you for the comments. So this this is a a higher quality higher end product. The intent is not to account for any of the student housing burden that FAU might have. The intent for this project is to be available to the young professionals, the retirees, the professors at FAU. Is it possible students that have the bank role of wanting to live here? It's possible. We can't prevent it. Now I don't know if students are protected class under the Fair Housing Act, but nevertheless, so it would still be discrimination. Within our lease agreements, there will be a provision to restrict the unrelated tenants of the property. Thank you. No further questions? Mr. Mitchell. I do have some questions. One is about the restrictions in the lease. I can restrict the number of cars per person. So let's say there's an example of a family of two kids that are, Tina, you get four cars with two parents and two kids in a three bedroom. Is there a restriction on tenants parking and guest parking, I guess I would say? Based off the developer giving me the nod not there will be a provision within the lease that restricts the number of vehicles allowed per tenant base off of the number of spaces assigned to them which will be two Thank you And the other question I have is how do you handle someone who misses their driving? They look left, they miss the spot, they're supposed to go to you, they can't back up, because it's one way. They drive all the way around and have to re-book through the other gate. So, while the perimeter route is one way, the alleyways are two way. So if they miss their alleyway or they miss their road, yes, they would have to go, oh, is this going the right way? Yeah. They would have to go all the way out, go out and come back in. This is by design, we felt it was appropriate to have more narrow streets, slowed down vehicles because we're intending this to be family friendly. So the alleyways are the ones between like buildings 14 and 13, 16 and 15, 12 and 11, 10 and 9. I don't know for sure the building numbers, but there are. Sorry. but there are, sorry. We'll get there, promise. Okay, so everything that is not shown on the screen are alleyways. If that helps. So those would be like there's T intersections on those three town house buildings. There's a T intersection above it, above it, above it. Those are all two way. So if someone really does fly by their unit, and really I'm looking right now, and I think it would only affect the properties along Fifth Avenue, and then those two units are two buildings on the southeast. Everything else is accessible through an alleyway. So six of the buildings that they pass it, they got a loop around. But I'm sure it's only going to take them one time to do that before they learn. I was worth thinking. Hopefully. Hopefully. Those are my only questions. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Roca. only questions. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Rooka. No questions. Okay. I have no questions. Thank you. Okay. Don't go away though. Jamie, you have cards for the people that want to speak on this from the public. Did you call their names? Jamie's going to call your names in the order of the cards and you come up and speak. I have Marcus Wood, Neil Temple, and Constance Brooks. Just start. Good evening. Marcus Wood, for a three-button wood, windwood. I just want to renew my stern objection to this project. You know, the fact that they're saying that it's compliant or compatible and calling it an urban infill project. I've lived in Wynwood and been, or actually I've been involved with the project when it was first coming out of the ground. So that's over 40 years. I've never heard of Wynwood referred to with the adjective urban. So the fact that our neighbor is an urban project that shares a great deal of our property line, I find that just a little telling. As far as the earlier situation with the road, I'm still unclear, is the road going to be put in first is the city paying for the extra land in front of Windwood and in front of J.C. Mitchell and run of the the different schools that goes all the way down to 22nd or if it's going all the way to 20th I'm not sure. You know are they gonna maintain the landscaping in the median and by the way way, on that point, this 10 foot road with the median just look at airport road. That must be the model. I don't think you need to make wind with the model. You already have a model. And then let's see what else. The gate call box inside the gate. You know, that's got to be a drawing error. You can't call the box if you can't get through the gate call box inside the gate. You know, that's got to be a drawing error. You can't call the box if you can't get through the gate. So, you know, the statistics they provided can't be accurate if it's 100 feet. You know, you got to have really long arms to punch that box. What else? Oh, the utility poles were kind of glossed over. There's, you know very high high line tension lines on concrete poles that front that entire property and then as you move away in front of JC Mitchell and other properties they turn back into the The wooden creasot one so it is the city when they widen do this magic white road widening Are they gonna bury all that line line and bury all that expenses? The developer going to get back charge for that. What else? The garage parking. I guess I live in Winhwood. It's de-restricted. I would say less than 10% of the people that live in the villas that have garages. The project is mixed. It's probably 2-thirds condo. There's some villas that don't have a garages, but I live there are garages. I happen to have a one car garage. I think in the 38-plus years, I think I've been able to park my car in there maybe two years, depending on how long and both like my vehicle was, whether it was an SUV. So the garage was not designed to hold any additional items, so I don't see how you can enforce it. And I think my time is up, so I'll just leave it right there. Thank you. Thank you. I'm Constance Brooks and I've lived in Wynwood about five years and before that I lived in neighboring neighborhoods. What is your address? My address is 30104 Kingswood, Terrace in Wynwood. We lived formerly across the street in NAB Hill. The traffic has always been an issue there for years. I, when this project first started being advertised a few years ago, I went and took pictures of the long backup at fifth and Spanish river. In the span of five minutes, I have pictures here. I got a guy passing over the double yellow line, a woman turning around because it was such a long wait. She was turning around to go somewhere else. And then I've got two pictures of the long line. Same thing at 20th and fifth or whatever you want to call it down there. I recently saw construction signs on the thing as if it's a done deal. And I would like to know how someone could go through the mental gymnastics to think that this thing that looks like a bunker that looks like all the other ugly apartments around Boka would be a proper compatible use of that land. They could build 35 beautiful homes there if you gave them some more zoning like when the same whatever the amount of homes and they could still make money. So to me this is greed and we are going to be lowering our quality of life for a greed project that looks like it will be a slum literally in 15 years. I also work at home and when I do work I go up to Palm Beach and sometimes I have to go down ocean drive by Mar-a-Lago to get out of there. The construction there is crazy and this would be for a year and then we'd still have the backup because on Fifth Avenue, because the, you're saying 30 or 50 cars, whatever this traffic study said, that's just going to be another lane of 30 to 50 cars backed up. The other thing is there's lots of other land space in Boca that this could be a project. If we need three bedroom apartments, why aren't they building it in an open space, not near one story condos, where there's a lake that's going to be strained by all this strain on our resource. And then my last thing is, I work at home now. Is this going to be a year-long project. I'm not going to be able to answer the question. I'm not going to be able to answer the question. I'm not going to be able to answer the question. I'm not going to be able to answer the question. I'm not going to be able to answer the question. I'm not going to be able to answer the question. I'm not going to be able to answer the question. I'm not seen entertained here are deliveries. Now, Amazon, UPS, et cetera, have small vehicles. Furniture vehicles, furniture delivery trucks, et cetera, et cetera. Where are they going to park to deliver whatever it is that they've ordered? And I just don't see it on the proposal by the architect or the engineers. And so this should be considered. I also hear that they want to take our sales wall opposite the God House and 11 feet of our property and I've not heard anybody entertain that if it's correct. Thank you. Next day I have Robert Fox, Renata Panewaski and Panewaska and Maria Pazmino. Good evening. My name is Gabriella Drifermovas. Can you get closer to the microphone please? I'm sorry. Did you fill out a card? Yes I did. My name is Gabriella Drifermovas. I have lived in 31-30. Oh, that's better. Sorry. I live in 31-30 Kingswood Terrace. And I've been there basically my entire life. And I feel like this project is really going to affect our way of life, especially with traffic, considering the construction. Has anyone ever been driving and you see the slow down sign, there's construction? It really affects traffic. Yeah. And, oh yeah. And I love walking and I walk past that area like so many times by the sidewalk. And it's really green there and you can see like a lot of birds and things. And I feel like taking that down is just wrong. We moved to Boca because it's the green city. It's the city of trees, right? We're like taking that away. Yeah, it's like, oh, okay, I'm done. Okay. Good evening, everyone. Please take your name and address the record. Yes. Renata Paloska, 375 to it with Terras. I obviously live in Winwood. It's my home since 2003. And what I want to ask all the board and staff to first study and check how many neighbors we have on Garden of Sabal. We have any other small schools over there and there is adding up to the people traveling through Fifth Avenue. Just everyone has the same enter and exit from this whole community. So no one has mentioned how many units we have in Winhwood, 670 units. Now, double this when it comes to the traffic related, everyone has a car, right? So the new neighbor is proposing 120 units and just, let's say it's going to be double, right, with the cars. This is also going to be a gated community. The gates will just open for one car. So how are we going to manage all this traffic? And then next to new community is our community. Whoever is entering to our community, there is only space for five to six cars to enter and stop by the gate. And we always have the same problem. There's not enough traffic flow to manage this terrific problem with Fifth Avenue. Now let's talk about students, right? There are always gonna be students coming and going and how the new developer is planning to just have 25 parking spots. We know it has, I don't even remember, but we have a lot of parking space and it's still not enough to accommodate all these people coming and going. And let's remember about one more thing. We have a bus stop for middle school. They're picking up children from this is a win would stop for all these children coming from different directions. So just remember, this is not just related to the windward community. Any other parents are dropping off their kids at windward gate. So it's not only our gate at community. It's going to be the same problem with this community, which is coming so I oppose to 120 units and changing from the low zone to three zone whatever that is. Thank you so much for your attention. I appreciate your time. Lorraine Villegas, Dennis, Juryzgin and Vera Jeffromovas. Good evening, my name is Maria Pasmino, 413 Cottonwood. I live at Wingwood. Thank you tonight, and then I also wanna kindly ask you to please do not pass, do not approve these re-soning of this area. The size of that property is not appropriate for 120 units that they're proposing. This is a very ambitious project and is going to impact directly our quality of life. As a taxpayer, I highly, highly please do not pass this. This is just like my other neighbor mentioned. I'm not opposed to something being constructed there. Just the size of the project is not appropriate. It's going to impact us, the drainage, the parking. It's going to create a already high traffic area. And we're already burdened with this high traffic area our quality of life. Please consider us being our position where homeowners directly impacted by this project. Don't quickly say yes. Hear us. Please, our concerns. Thank you. Thank you. Dennis Gyrishkin 1144 Southwest 7th Street. Also on property in Winwood. He used to live there. As Mr. Millage said that they're going to be filling in this property and I appreciate Mr. Hubeiner's design. It's a very challenging design to manage all the stormwater coming into the property retaining it, meeting water quality standards. There's a lot there. However, I did visit the site and I did look at the drainage calculations and the civil engineering drawings and I'm a little bit concerned that the Eastern property line and the very, very small retaining wall in some areas is less than a it's about a foot and a half to feet It can easily be over topped in a substantial storm and that over topping. It's like a relief mechanism for for the condos there and it goes directly into the windwood property along that eastern boundary line, or common property line. So I would ask that they look at that more carefully and raise at least another foot or so to meet the 100-year elevation. And I know I appreciate all the challenges with this design, you know footer so to meet the 100 year elevation. And I know I appreciate all the challenges with this design, but who would ask? And also the groundwater too, because it could easily go under that wall and seep into the one wood property. So that's my request is that we look at the applicant, relook at that. And I'd be glad to meet with them. Sorry about that. And talk about how they can mitigate the groundwater and the over topping of that wall. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Jamie, do we have anyone else? Good evening. Thank you. Jamie, do we have anyone else? Good evening. My name is Lorena Villegas. I live at 410 Cato Workplace. I am deeply concerned with the proposed development by the builder based on serious concerns related to changing the load density zone to a high density zone, also do the floating and parking issues. The builder has expressed and demonstrated that they are unable to properly construct and maintain the extra filtration from the trench system, which is critical in preventing floating in the area. Over this weekend, my neighbor knocked on my door because her car broke down due to the flooding in the area. I had to push her vehicle to safety, because there were other vehicles also that broke down on the streets. So we have a floating issue in the area, and the fact that they're enabled to attend to the excertration trench right now, it's really a concern when it rains and it pours in the borderline in our limits between WINGwood and this community that's to be. We do get like a little lake in that area. So I'm highly concerned with that. I'm also highly concerned with the parking issue because the community already faces a significant parking shortages in the area. I see vehicles parked on the streets as is right now. I am concerned with the canal that we have there as well. You know, the situation right now in the streets really the overflow from the developer or the development will likely further strain on the street parking. So approving this proposal from the developer will really worsen the existing floating issues in our area, and it will also make it a really big problem right now for our community. And unfortunately, at this moment, I feel that we need your support more than ever. To please help us with our quality of life. We live there, and I've been there for several years. This proposal is just, unfortunately unreal. It's just not realistic to the needs that we have right now in the community and in the area. Thank you. Thank you. Do we have anyone else? No, the card. It's not. OK. Mr. Millage, would you like to respond to some of these comments? No, no, no. Would you have another card? Yes, but before she was going to display something for me, there was the first page of the planning zone in the application. No, first you have to come up to the microphone, but did you fill out a card? Thank you. Is my question. Sorry? Did you fill out a card? I did, sir. OK. Can we do you have the card? Yes. Verra Jaffer Mavas at 31-30 Kingswood Terrace. So I ask for the picture to be displayed, because everybody notice to the right is a windward. And according to this planning, they are comparing themselves to us. Oh, yes. These town homes. First of all, if you notice over there, those mostly villas, one floor, and some of them two floor. Now look at that 8.1 acre property. Does that make any sense? So if you look at the property, and also, they're talking about their condition, replacing legendary tree with palm-mere trees that I don't think I even trees are native. No shade trees, what's happening to our legendary trees, Walker has been named for 42 consecutive years, the Green Tree City or something of the nature, no pun intended, And then about this gate, did you know the last week or this week there was lightning that damage our gates was gonna be resolving that? Are they gonna have security on site to deal with all these problems with students? Are they gonna have a management office to deal with all these issues that have been raised so far? And then you talk about two private spaces in the garage for three and a half bathrooms. Did I get that right? Why do they need? Wow, who's gonna leave there? These fancy people, $6,000, but yet three and a half bathrooms. Two car garage, who in this world? Think about it, that doesn't make any sense at all. Okay? Fake grass, drainage, how many cars do we want to see floating into our canal? And okay, you put this post in sign inviting residents right where there's no traffic. Come to this hearing for the city. Are the residents of Boca? Are we the whole city? There are one feet of area canal. It's going to be taken from them. How happy are they? I mean, what's going on right here is what I don't understand. Okay? And how is that going to affect windward? The city residents, are they aware? Was this proper notification? And on this study here, whatever they call this application, under history page four, they talk about who the church next door. But again, they did not mention JC Mitchell. And those students, they walk from windward ladies and gentlemen, they walk. In all these students, I imagine them on their phones running over everybody trying to cross. And then when there's issues with that gate, who's going to go fix it? What's going on? I mean, that doesn't make any sense. Page 12 talks about maximum potential trip generation, daily from 282, 809 or something like that. Net difference 529. And again, they didn't take into account a 900 families that have their kids go to that school they are GC Mitchell, right? And yeah, they're accurate to say there'll be only bees going over there, right? Because what's going to happen to the wildlife that currently lives there? Also, if you look at the Pomato Park Road, how long have you been working on the road just to expand it? How happy are we that? How many years? I think it's been years. It hasn't been weeks over crowding. How are they going to, this management, are they going to have a management office on the premises? They talk about young professionals. Young professionals really, they're going to leave in a, last year, three and a half bathrooms. These three floors, they look like a box. Let's pay, somebody said $6,000. And they're saying here that they, sorry, this makes me mad. Page four, I didn't see, community outreach and public input. Oh yeah, we tried to contact the Windwood Homeowners Association, sure that's only affecting us. And nobody was available, why? Because we have managed many shows. And look at the property owners, we are, imagine these students are young professionals. Okay, please, please help it up. Your time is up. Thank you. There was so much more to say about the drainage and everything else, but thank you. I think you got the picture right there. Thank you. Thank you. Jamie, is there anyone else? I have no other cards. Does anyone else wish to speak on this? Okay. Mr. Millage, would you like to address some of the concerns? Yes, thank you, board. Again, David Millage for the record. I believe Mr. Dorne Bester had previously had some concerns relating to Wynne Wood and the future expansion of Fifth Avenue. Just so you are aware, wind wood already dedicated property for the widening, so no additional lands would be required from wind wood based off in any widening. And then as it relates to the comments relating to parking in the garages and filling them up, this will be managed by a professional rental management company. They have a lot more control than a typical HOA. They have rights to enter the property to inspect. So this will be managed appropriately. And there's a lot of comments about traffic. The applicant's proffering 14 feet easement to facilitate the city's widening of the road. The applicant isn't responsible for existing traffic deficiencies. What we're doing is trying to help with entrances into other properties, having two lanes versus one lane is always going to be a benefit. Another person had comments for trucks entering the property. We do have a auto turn analysis. We did it based off of the city's fire truck of 40 feet. We show that a 40 foot fire truck or box truck can answer the property and circulate. We show that a 40-foot fire truck or box truck can answer the property and circulate. We also have two loading zones. In addition to that, at the end of each T intersection of those alleyways is available turnaround spot. Someone mentioned something about taking property from one wood. We're not taking anyone's property. There's more comments relating to our technical deviation. Base off of the average length of a car, which is 20 feet or less, we can get about three to four cars before we exit our own property. Plus, we still have the apron into Fifth Avenue right away. There's a lot of comments about drainage. Our property is professionally designed. It is maintaining 100% of the drainage, which is above and beyond what's existing today. Today, there is no drainage infrastructure. It right now, it sheet flows from my understanding from the west of the east. So all of these draining deficiencies that some of the members of public are talking about are going to be fixed with our project. And then, as I mentioned, this project will have on-site management to manage the tenants and this developer actually encourages their management staff to actually live on site. It's not a requirement, but it is encouraged for that to happen. So I'll be happy to answer any additional questions at the board in my hand. Mr. Richie, the board has some questions. Thank you, Mr. Millage. There was a question about the call box location and can you clarify that of course? Of course so the call box is only for visitors so a visitor would go up to the call box Hit a button or now a days you see and I don't know if this is what they're using but that in Vera company you put in your license It goes to an operator, they read license, they say where you're going to, and they work it through there. Residents would be either using an RFID or a barcode scanner, so there is no box, it will get read, and the gate would open and they go right in. There would be no stacking for residents, it just, you know, it reads the barcode and they go in. So are there two lanes at the gate one for the guest? Correct. There is a dedicated visitor lane, which is on the north side, and then a resident lane on the south side to enter the south gate. Also, isn't it true that if you denied access at that call box, you can still pull up and park at the call box? That is correct. There's nothing preventing them from the call box. Correct. So the gates are... I can't think you're right. That's what I want to clear. Yeah, the gates are on the south and on the north. At the call box, there's available parking up front. They run into an issue, they pull into the space, they walk into the clubhouse, say, hey, I'm having an issue or they call their friend or their delivering food. That's how that would operate. And there was another question, I don't know that you know the answer or even if staff does, but is the road widening or the project going to happen first? Do we know the timing of those things? All the fur to staff relating to their capital improvement plans. I don't think the timing of either one is a sure thing at this point. I mean obviously the project, even if it's approved, some projects never get built so we don't know what the timing would be. Understood. Okay, thank you. Thank you. Mrs. Salad. Oh, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Millage, about undergrounding the utilities, there was some reference made about the concrete poles. Is it your plan to underground all of the utilities? The existing overhead lines. Yes. So, which are on concrete poles right now those concrete poles. I don't know if they're in the right away right now or within right next to the property line, but the Undergrounding will not affect the widening of the road because the road will have the 10 foot lanes, the 10 foot swale, the foot and a half valley curb, and then a six foot bike lane separated bike lane and then a six foot sidewalk. So it's not going to affect the hickler travel. Well, I just wanted to make sure that when you're saying you have $600,000 to underground utilities that it included all of the utilities including this concrete All overhead lines. Okay, perfect. Thank you. Okay, anyone else? Okay, thank you. Thank you sir. The staff, any comments? Closing comments? Okay Okay. Less calls. Anybody else from the public want to speak on the side? Okay. You'll have to fill out a card but come up and state your name and address for the record. Amy would you make sure this gentleman gets a card when he's done? Just briefly. Thank you. My name is Dennis Coe. I'm at 3104 Kingswood Terrace in Woodenwood, of course. My only concern really is the traffic. The place looks beautiful and all of that stuff. A couple of things you're talking about, flattening it and making a 33-foot building. If you flatten and elevate it, doesn't it make it a 43-foot building? That's beside the point. But I know I have a difficulty now, even I'm an educator at the college. So I tried to leave, I can't get out of my driveway, or I can't get out of win wood because there is a lot of traffic. And I've never heard anybody, and the right mind say that adding cars improves traffic, that doesn't make sense to me. So the traffic flow is going to be worse, not better. No matter how you look at this, okay? That's all I have to say. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Public hearing is now closed. I look for emotion and a second on 6A1, which is the comprehensive plan amendment for discussion purposes. Move to approve. Second. Okay. Discussion. Mr. Mitchell. I have nothing to add at this time. Okay. Mr. Richie. I want to comment on the parking. I agree 25 guest spaces is not ideal for the amount of units. The people looking to rent in there will have to go in as wide open. They do meet the requirements. As far as the student potential of upscale student living, I had the same concern when I spoke to Mr. Millage earlier today. I think the lack of guest parking will actually deter the high-scale student living who would probably want to throw parties and have guests and have people over. So, that's good point. That's my comment. Mr. Dorvalliser? I have the same concerns about parking. I mean, even at three-bedroom, three-bath. I mean, at that point, even if city code requires, says no more than three unrelated people, your three cars at that point. And you don't have three car parking in any of those units. And only 25 guest spots. I see as a problem. And unfortunately, disagree with Ms. Richie. I don't think 25 spots if guest parking would ever deter a college student from throwing a pretty. Not that I would know that. Personal experience. Okay. That's my look on. Okay. So long. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was taken aback when the applicant said that there was going to be a requirement that you could only have two cars. So that gave me a level of comfort before I too was concerned about the parking. So it's a rental thing and they do have more control over than an HOA. If they've got stickers for the cars, it's very easy to control. That's a great idea. I hope they take them up on that. You know, it's occasionally we have people who come in and want to rezone their property and you see that, you know, they have a tremendous financial gain, you know, if we just say yes. But in this case, yes, there is a financial gain to the applicant. However, the applicant is really giving us some things that we need. We need that 14 foot of right of way, along Fifth Avenue, to get to the complete streets, which is what we want. And if the applicant didn't proper that up, you know, we would have the same problem that we have right now. So I'm really happy that the applicant is giving to the city that I'm happy that the applicant is undergrounding all the utilities at a tremendous expense, $600,000. And in your negotiations about the conditions for the applicant, the beautification fee of $90,000, I'm strongly want to keep that in place. And those are my comments, thank you. My biggest concern now is all the conditions that I have red lines in them that are open issues. So would it be if we were to move ahead with this, would it make sense to move ahead with it as presented and they either work out those other items between now and council or not? It seems like that's the way. Fine for the Board to do the board can also include in its recommendation, for instance, what Mr. Salon said that the beautification contributions should remain. That's his position. If the board takes the same position, for example, I would say the board probably should include whatever recommendations that the board would like to for the City Council to consider. OK. Okay. Okay. Can I open on that or you want to? I would like to include condition 6 because staff has said that that is one that they don't agree with right now so I wouldn't want to recommend that we approve the requested amendment. 6 was the contribution. No. That was seven. Yes. Seven. Okay. Six was the Omar, right? Yes. Okay. Well that's a good point. Okay. Those conditions are long and have been worked over between the applicant and staff. Over a long amount of time, I'm not into position in five minutes to say, this is the end all be all. I'm happy with the beautification in condition six and let the applicant and staff have free reign to resolve the other items in those conditions. So that's what I think you're suggesting is that if we were to approve this, we leave all those items as they were presented by staff and let them try to work the other items out between them and the council. And that's a fair way. And I think staff has a sense of what's important to us. Right. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's a point of clarification. I just want to point out the meeting of the notification contribution is 57,000, not 90,000. Oh, excuse me, my mistake. Okay. I think we will agree that stays in. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Any other comments? Mr. Mitchell? I'm the only comment I would have is I'd be okay with whatever staff's okay with changing because you didn't mention a few things that you didn't object to and I'd be okay including those is changed and then whatever you object to we have to very specifically list them now. That's a list. So most of what was presented we were okay with just to clarify, we have an issue with the issuing a temporary certificate of occupancy before the final letter of map provision is issued by FEMA. So we disagree on that. We'll try to figure something out that works for both parties We may or may not be able to do that The Comprehensive plan language that is something that I agree we need to look not be able to do that. The comprehensive plan language, that is something that I agree we need to look at, and we will do that before City Council. We need to review that. And we'll discuss with the applicant the voluntary contribution to the verification file. OK, so then what are we voting on? We're voting on what your presentation or we're voting on some of those changes. Considering that the applicant and staff are an agreement on most of what they would like to revise, I mean, you work it simply, you know, recommend, if you agree with staff, you could simply recommend that those conditions be revised. Okay. So, everybody good with that? Yeah, I mean, thinking about it, I would say we approve all the changes except the ones that we don't like. Instead of listing out the ones we're okay with. Okay. I think that's easier that way. And Brandon's listed out the few we're not okay with and I think we take that as the three that we're not approving with the new language. Okay. Got that? Yeah. I understand. Okay. Okay. In that case, Jamie, please call the roll. Mr. Solan. Yes. Mr. Rosha. Yes. Mr. Droomlazer. No. Mr. Richie. Yes. Chair Sevelle. Yes. Mr. Mitchell. Yes. Pass five to one. Next item is 6A2, the zoning change. Any discussion on that? We need a motion on a second. So motioned. Second. Any discussion on that one? No, OK. Jamie, please call the roll. Mr. Roshia? Yes. Mr. Dormlazer? No. Mr. Rochelle. Yes. Mr. Durham-Lazer. No. Mr. Richie. Yes. Chair Seville. Yes. Mr. Mitchell. Yes. I'm Mr. Solan. Yes. Pass five to one. Next is 6A3, which is the site plan resolution. I look for a motion on a second. It's super. So seconded. Any discussion? I want to make a quick clarification. Sorry. I want to make a quick clarification on the language that the applicant wanted to change with respect to undergrounding the utilities. Rather than what they've proposed, we have alternative language that we've used in the past that we would prefer to use. So I just want to be clear about that. I didn't want to suggest that we were completely in agreement with their language. We're in agreement that the concept is. Okay, thank you. Okay. Jamie, please call the roll. Mr. Durham-Lazer? No. Is Ritchie? Yes. Chair Savalle? Yes. Mr. Mitchell? Yes. Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Salon. Yes. Mr. Dorscher. Yes. Pass five to one. Thank you. Okay. The next item is 6B North Park. Jamie would you please read that item into the record? North Park 5800 Northwest Second Avenue. Resolution of planning and zoning board of the city Boca Tone considering for and approximately 69.49 acre portion of the overall 74.72 acre property known as North Park. Generally located at 5800 Northwest Second Avenue, a site plan to authorize the development of a park, including construction of multipurpose recreational trails, a community garden, a dog park, playground areas, pavilions, a restroom building, and a maintenance building, and associated improvements, including surface parking lots, providing for repeal or providing effective date. Okay, Thank you. This item for clarification is only the park, not the pickleball courts. Okay. Heather, would you like to present this? Thank you. Thank you. Good evening chair and board members. For the record, my name is Heather Hansen and I have been sworn in. This item deals with a site plan approval for the proposed north park located at 5800 northwest second avenue. The north park project is a 69.5 acre section of the now closed ocean breeze golf course. On screen you can see the project outline. It's this entire dashed yellow area and I will be talking about the Boca Patel project which is within the park right here this area. At the next time. Just for clarification the overall acreage of the two projects combined is approximately 74.5 acres. The property is owned recreation with a future land use designation of recreation in open space. The Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District is requesting site plan approval to authorize construction of an approximately 69.5 acre park to be called north park. North Park will consist of several multi-purpose trails walking and mountain bike trails and approximately 0.68 acre community garden a 2.0 acre dog park, and you'll see that the, oh, I didn't switch the next one. Hold on. I was looking at the screen. How did it keep going? Okay. Notice that the dog park is shaped like a dog biscuit, which is kind of cute. There's two playground areas, pavilions, a restroom building, and a 3,800 square foot maintenance building. Three parking areas are proposed that will include a total of 327 parking spaces. Access to the North Park site is provided via three driveway connections. Now the north is to the right on this. One here is through 67th street, and then there's two located on Jeffery Street. Jeffery Street. So you're coming in this way and Jeffery Street to go to the southern part of the park you will go in this way and to go to the northern part of the park you will go in that way. A condition of approval has been included in the site plan resolution that requires the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District to coordinate with city staff to develop and submit within a year of the issuance of a manus building permit, a pedestrian oriented street designed for Northwest 67th Street. All improvements associated with Northwest 67th Street Design will be associated with North West 67th Street design will be required to be completed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy since Northwest 67th Street is a major access point into the North Park. Due to the large area covered by the project rather than going through it sheet by sheet, I've included a section from the Northern portion of the park that shows the community garden over here and then the dog park. And here's a section of the Southern portion of the park that shows one of the proposed playgrounds and a section of the mountain bike and walking trails, which are the mountain bike and walking trails are all over here. The North Park will include multiple pathways with shade trees, including 12 foot wide share use pathways and an 8 foot wide sidewalks together with mountain bike and hiking trails throughout the park. The park will include several pavilions and areas provide shade and seating. The park will also have restrooms, water fountains and benches. The applicant is proposing a 14 foot wide pedestrian tunnel under, under Jeffrey Street right here so that when these improvements are made to Jeffrey Street, they could safely cross without having to, you know, go to the surface. So in the future, when the city extends Jeffery Street, the tunnel will provide safe pedestrian access between the two sections of the park and will reduce the need for pedestrians and bicycles to cross Jeffery Street at grade to go between the two sections. Pedestrian access to the property will be provided via Northwest 67th Street, discussed on the earlier slide and Jeffrey Street. Jeffrey Street will include an 8-foot wide shared use pathway on the southern side and a 6-foot sidewalk on the northern side. Street trees are proposed on that section of property frontage located on Northwest Second. So tonight what you're what you're being asked to do is to take final action on this item. And so the development services department is recommended approval of the North Park application. That concludes my presentation. Questions for staff. Mr. Richie. Mr. Dornblaser. Mr. Salon. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Hanson, so this property is owned by beach and parks. Is that how it works out? Yes. Okay. And they need our approval to go forward with this. Yes. OK. This is a very exciting project. I'm thrilled that after all these years of no movement, to see something as complete as this design, it's very exciting. Thank you. I've seen this multiple times now over the years. Mr. Mitchell. Yes, just a question. The spot that used to be the hotel that would be in front of the pickle ball place, why is that not being utilized? I don't know the answer to that question. And just so you know, I'm not the project manager of this, all the planners that were supposed to present tonight are at a conference in Tampa. So I'm not as familiar with it as I'd like to be. I know they're all partying. I'm sure they are. They're watching this and playing a drinking game, you know, while we're up. I got one more question for you. Well actually, if you don't, I was going to say I was instructed by my wife to ask why isn't there a splash pad? Oh I don't know. They're actually one of the other ones. It's possible that there will be. I don't know for sure that there won't be. Okay. It's sort of a generic description of the playground areas. I think I think I had read there was a water. If anyone listens to me, let's put one in for the little kids. I know it's great when it's really hot mr. Roka Very excited about this moment It's great to see that cleaned up after all these years Have a question What happens when the tunnel floods? Floods yeah, well, I know that we have some great engineers on our staff And I'm sure that the review of that will include how is it going to be drained? I hope there's a sum pump in there. Okay. It's going to be similar to what they have over there by the library and Park on Spanish River Boulevard. Yeah. You know? Yeah. It's either that or it's going to be part of the mountain bike course and I'm just trying to add some levitties. Okay. Okay. I'm just trying to add some 11 of this. Okay, okay. Okay, is the petitioner here? Is anyone here from the beach in box district? All right, do you? Do you want to do it? Okay. Do you want to present something? You have me. I'm representing Miller leg in the district. You state your name and address for the right. You have me. I'm a Hollywood Florida. Thank you. Okay, and now just go briefly just to some highlights of the amenities as we spoke we actually have almost approximately six miles of actual trails and that includes two miles of mountain bike. So it's actually more than six miles but just to kind of highlight that. And the playgrounds, I'll just kind of show a look and feel of it. We're going to do more of an art and nature and then the second playground is going to do more of an art and nature. And then the second playground is going to be more of a trails and fitness playground. You can look more of a what could potentially it could look like, a look and feel of nature and art. And then the second playground, which is more on the southern, is catering more to the fitness structure and kind of complementing the Padeau club. That's the Boga Paddle Club that's coming. At there's, you can see more of the fitness stations. There's about three zones, one is a large zone. And the dog park, the dog park actually does have a splash pad, centralized one. The playgrounds will have more of a spray ground, a spray. A spray ground. Yeah. Okay. Just a look and feel of what the community gets to get offered. And we're considering two art components of an art kind of passive walk in the northern parcel. We also are taking into a look of sustainability on the site. We are chasing sustainable site certification. As of right now we are pretty certain we could get those credits we looked into solar lighting for for the location as well and then some sight amenities for residents to gather and be social in a more of a passive environment. I'll take it over from here. And my crawl with Miller Legg 13680 north west fifth street in sunrise. Just a little bit about the architecture, just four simplistic architectural elements in the park maintenance facility that you see here on the left. Again, that's for the maintenance vehicles and the equipment and such that would need to maintain the park. We also have restroom facilities that will have in the park. There will be three of those in the park. And then we have very simplistic pavilions throughout the park for picnicking and such. The landscape that we've proposed for the park is all floored friendly and over 75% native plant materials and that will provide not only shading for the use within the park but also buffering from the adjacent residential areas and enhancement of the biodiversity of the park so greater utilization by pollinators and birds and such. And this is just some of the plant palette that we have that we're going to be utilizing within the park. And then finally, we're going to have an extensive amount of invasive plant removal as part of the program for this park. The whole east side of the park along the railroad is invasive species, largely invasive species. So we have already started developing and doing some clearing work of the large Brazilian prepper infestation out there, removing that, and that will actually be reforisted and re-vegetated in native plant materials, and that's where the mountain bikes and the hiking trails will be running through those native areas. And you mentioned the tunnel as well as 67th street entrance, just wanted to highlight those. Again, the tunnel will have some pumps in it. We've got two some pumps earmarked for that. And it will be an interesting element to say the least. We're going to make the most out of that. And with that, that's all the presentation. We just want to give you a quick one. Thank you. Thank you. Any questions for this gentleman? Mr. Dornblaser? Well, just I thought I saw somewhere that there's going to be additional parts of this going on the rest of the golf course on the other side. Yes, still the case. Yes. We do have a the overall master plan for the park for over the over 200 acres. There is a master plan for that. Again, largely it will be a passive park. There will be some active elements that have been prescribed over on the west side of second. And that can be, there's a golf training facility that is earmarked for that, potential field house, other types of activities like that. Yes. Thank you very much. Absolutely. Thank you. This is a lot. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Coral, I don't know if it's you or Mrs. Fuente's, but in her presentation, she had a lot of lawn furniture that was exciting and different and playful. And I just wanted to remind her maybe or you that when you do all this bicycle parking, if you could find something creative as opposed to that spaghetti thing, I've come to hate that. It's so easy to do something different and interesting. And I hope you guys take advantage of that. Absolutely. I love the design, thank you. Thank you. I just got a question. It was page 21 of your slide, A510. It's got the restroom elevations on the left. And then restroom elevations on the right. And then there's one maintenance elevation on the bottom. And I'm guessing it's a typo. I just wanted clarification on that. Let's just see. I'm 21. So maintenance is on the left, yes. OK, so it's labeled restroom. So I just wanted to be sure that I knew which one, the restrooms are on the right and the maintenance is on the left. Yes. Yes, OK. No, the top two on the left hand side, that is the north and south side of the maintenance building. Okay, so the maintenance building on the east and west facade is on the bottom and the north and south facade is on the top. Okay, thank you for the clarification. Sure excited about the project. Thank you. Mr. Rokha. No comment. Mr. Mitchell. The mountain biking trails. Are they going to be flat? Mountain biking trails? Are you going to have topography? Mr. Roca. No comment. Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell. The mountain biking trails. Are they going to be flat? Mountain bike trails? Are you going to have topography? Both. Both. We have Earth that we're going to be moving on the site. Do Earth work. And some of that Earth work is actually going to be integrated into that bike path. So that will utilize that in the design. And actually, it's going to run right along the edge of the canal that runs on the east side. So you're going to have some, there's vertical difference already. And since it's an existing, you know, a former golf course, it does have some undulation in it. The northern area is called the Hills for a reason. There are some hills out there. So that'll all be part of the mountain bike trails. Thank you. No further questions. It's a Mitchell. Who's going to watch your kids while you're mountain biking while they're in the splash pad? Okay. Anything else, Joe? Thank you. Thank you. Okay. This is a public hearing. Jamie, do you have cards for these people? Yes. Don Humer? I first heard you would not have said something about myself and the topic I'm going to speak on. I appreciate you putting time in listening to the people. I've worked for three presidents and traveled with three presidents who listen to the people. But nowadays, governments broken, as we all know. We hear from Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump how broken the system is. But local governments still works, thank goodness. I'm here to, I hope not throw a monkey wrench in this program, but you're overlooking one important costly element. I'm one of 1,700 owners. I represent that group who have in their deed a requirement that the property adjacent to our homes must always in perpetuity be a golf course. You're now talking about making a park out of part of it that may or may not be acceptable to 1,700 owners. I'm not speaking for them on that issue, but you do have to speak to the park's district before you take action and find out what they're going to do to replace the golf course preferably on the other side of the second avenue. If they are not going to do that, you are facing what is currently being discussed with legal counsel and with real estate experts, and by the way, I thought real estate finance and real estate law at one time. There is a problem with the fact that the deeds require the property be in perpetuity a golf course. A lot of people with the city are just thinking that's not a problem. Well it's going to be a major problem. Real estate experts have told us there's a $50,000 to $100,000 loss in property values for all 1700 of the adjacent property owners if there is no golf course anymore. That amounts to about an $8,570 million class action suit that I don't think the city or park district wants to face. I highly recommend that you get a legal opinion on what you're going to do so that you have a male practice insurance company that you can go back against if it proves that opinion was false or wrong. I'm telling you, in my personal opinion, that opinion will be wrong if they say you have a right to go ahead without addressing the in perpetuity clause in all of our deeds. As I said there are 1700 property owners. We started when the course closed about five or six years ago. We started action toward illegal suit. A number of people they were primarily from one section of the country. They said don't interfere, don't interrupt or you'll stop the city from moving with a golf course. So we did not. These people said don't interrupt now. If they haven't built a golf course in two years, we'll join your effort and we'll file a class action suit. Those people all disappeared. But there are still many people of the 1700 that wanted to know why they don't have the value that a golf course provides to their homes And I would strongly suggest you consider that Requirement and you seek legal opinion as to whether you can do anything you're doing to encourage that plan for the park looks very nice I don't have any objections to it personally, but you need to watch out what your liability will cost you. Thank you, sir. Next. Next. Next. I have Marvin Meakin or Leiken. Hi. Good evening. Marvin Leiken, 6500 Northwest. Second Avenue. A resident of Boca-Tica for 11 years. Also very glad to hear that something suddenly is moving along here because it's been dead quiet about this issue, and I'm glad it's been discussed tonight. I put up an earlier meeting at a park meeting about security. Still haven't heard much of a response as to how this park is going to be secured not only during the day but also off hours so it doesn't become a place for kids to be hanging out after hours. So security is a concern. The bike trail. How is that bike trail going to be managed? Because this is a passive recreation park. I see now there are motorized bikes on the Rio Trail. Big signs that they shouldn't be there, but there are motorized bikes on the Rio Trail. So again, who's going to be managing this passive park? Lastly, the intersection of Jeffrey and Northwest Second. As it stands right now, it's very challenging for pedestrians there. Crossing over from Northwest Second and going up onto Clint Moore is very challenging and we all know that in Palm Beach when the light turns red, that's only a suggestion to stop. So we really have to take a look at that intersection. There's two lanes right now. There's a, and one lane in each direction turns toward Clint Moore. Is there going to be a designated lane that's going to go on to Jeffrey? If not, it's just going to be more crowded and more challenging for pedestrians. And I do know that at one of the park's meetings, they're looking at the real trail and the park we're talking about now as connecting. And there's no way that this could happen unless there's some consideration to the management and the reconfiguring of that intersection. Thank you. Thank you. Heather O'Cris, is it correct that the parks, beach and parks district will be operating the park? Brienne Harms, 2 and 618, St Andrews Boulevard, the . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . now part of our talks with the city are you know we have the whole of the west side and there's a lot of recreational needs in the city we want to make sure we account for those as we continue developing this park things that may change in the downtown area that need to be absorbed in other parks and we're also working on talking about operations moving towards the city once we start opening this as a park. Thank you. Okay. You need to talk about the restricted covenants now or is that after? No, I'm sorry. This is my Irene Parker. Irene Parker, 6100, Northwest Second Avenue. Excuse me. My husband and I would like to pledge our support for the park. We move to the area about just this last May, and it would terrify me if there would still be a golf course. They do present a lot of environmental problems. And at the last parks and recs meeting that we attended, I believe they're doing environmental sampling. My husband has a PhD in biochemistry. We're also very active with the community garden sponsored by the junior lake. We've learned everything that can go wrong with the community garden and everything that can go right. So we'd like to offer our support and we've learned a lot of experience working with the garden. My husband's an organic gardener. We hope you consider it that you make the community garden be organic and thank you for all your efforts. Thank you. Have no more crutches. No. Okay. It's public here. If you want to speak, sir, you come up. You'll need to fill out a card. Oh, she's good. Okay. It's public here. If you want to speak, sir, you come up. You'll need to fill out a card. Oh, she's good. Okay. Please state your name and address. Robert Fox, 5,700 North West Second Avenue. So, I'm going to live right next to 5,800 that you're talking about. And I agree with some of these other people. I think after 90 days, who's going to be there? Who are all these people coming from? You've got a gigantic part being built. We're a little residential neighborhood. We're Boca-Tica. So security is tantamount. Who's going to be there? After 90 days, and everybody comes and takes pictures, who's going to be there? And I can just see it's going to be kids, smoking cigarettes and pot, and hanging out and doing what kids do. So there needs to be serious security. The park needs to be able to be shut down at, say, 6 o'clock. We don't want people running around there at night. Would you, whatever is planned for 5,800 is right next to me. Is that what you would want right next to your home? And so I'm definitely worried that it's going to become, you know, it sounds all great and pictures are nice, but after 90 days, yeah, I'm definitely worried. And I just think it's going to, I don't want to say anything negative. I hope it turns out great. I really do. I mean, I live there. I just wish we had a golf course and a little restaurant. And I'm seriously worried about security. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. It's public hearing. Anyone else? The public hearing is now closed. Look for a motion and a second to approve Northmark. Motion to approve. Second. Okay. Any discussion? Yeah. I just say I'm super excited about this. I think this is great. I live down the street and I can't wait till this happens. Okay. I said we're neighbors then because this is just a great park location. There's so many residents that run up a second, second, right there and I'm one of run up a second ab right there on one of them. So Spanish River Park is probably the closest that's comparable to what this will be like. Or there's the park over on your Geoffrey on the other side, but this is gonna be a great improvement for all the residents in the community. Anything else? I do have a question about the restrictive covenants question that was not addressed. Would you be willing to tell us about it just so we can understand what's going on? Sure. So there were restricted covenants. We actually the city attorney's office looked into it when we were first purchasing the property back in 2017. They published a memo to City Council at the time. It talked about how when a public agency purchases a property, those restricted covenants go away. And so we had this re-evaluated in 2020 when our plans changed from goff to building a park. We wanted another opinion from our law firm. So they re-evaluated. There was 1982 K-SLA established, Ryan versus the town of Manalapan the same situation and basically the Supreme Court of Florida has decided that whether it's through eminent domain or purchase when a public entity purchases property those restrictive covenants go away. So we're moving on that. I'd heard the same thing. Could you tell me to cite again? I'm just curious to read it. Oh, it was 1982 Ryan Versa, Manala Pan. Ryan Versa, excuse me. Toud of Manala Pan. Oh, thank you. Yep, it's Ryan, RYAN. Okay, thank you. Anything else? If not, Jamie, please call the roll. Mr. Richie? Yes. Chair Savael? Yes. Mr. Mitchell? Double yes. Mr. Svell. Yes. Mr. Mitchell. Double yes. Mr. Sillant. Yes. Mr. Rosha. Yes. Mr. Dormblitzer. Yes. Past 6-0. Okay. Next item on our agenda is Boca Paddle. Items 6C1 and 6C2 will be conducted contemporaneously. Jamie would you read those items into the record please? Book of Paddle 5800 Northwest Second Avenue. Resolution of City Booker Tom considering 4.2, 4 acre portion of the approximately 74.72 acre north park. Generally located at 5800 Northwest Second Avenue. Conditional use approval, pursuant to section 28-1198, code of ordinances, to authorize a two-story, approximately 46.17 foot tall, Patel and Pick-Bulfix facility in the Recreational REC Zoning District, providing for repeal or providing an effective date, and two is a resolution of the City Boca Raton, considering for a 5.24 acre portion of the approximately 74.72 acre north park. Site plan approval to authorize construction of a two story approximately 77,218 square foot paddle and pickle bowl facility that will include 14 indoor pickleable courts, two into our paddle courts, nine outdoor pickable courts, locker rooms, food and beverage service, and other site improvements, including service parking lot, providing for repealer, providing effective date. Thank you. Expartake communications, Mr. Roca. None. Mr. Mitchell? Just drove by. Okay, I spoke with David Millage, who's representing the petitioner. Mr. Richie. I also spoke with David Millage. Mr. Dornblie. I spoke with David Millage. Mr. Salon. I had a Zoom call this morning with David Millage about this item. Okay. We're good to go. Okay. Heather, you're presenting this one as well. Thank you. Again for the record. My name is Heather Hansen. I have been sworn in. This item deals with a request for a conditional use and site plan approval for the Boca Paddle project that will be located within North Park at 5800 Northwest Second. As mentioned in the North Park, I had to go to request. OK. As mentioned in the North Park presentation, I had to go to request. Okay. As mentioned in the North Park presentation, the two projects combined contain approximately 74 and a half acres. In this slide you can see the overall outline of the park, like I had shown before, the dashed line there, and then the shaded area is the site for the Book of Paddle, which is about approximately five acres. The area that is subject to this presentation is that shaded area, and the property is owned also recreation with the future land use designation of recreation and open space. Bocca paddle LLC is requesting conditional use approval to authorize a recreational building to exceed the 25-foot height limit in the recreational zoning district and site plan approval to authorize construction of the 77,218 square foot paddle and pickleball facility and other site improvements including including a new surface parking lot. Now I'll go into a bit more detail about each application. So there's a provision that you can go up to 85 feet actually through the conditionally used process for a building that's used exclusively or primarily for sports or recreation uses. So they are proposing to construct a two-story 46-foot tall building that will be used primarily for recreational uses. It will be located approximately 380 feet from the nearest residential building, which is a seven-story condominium building. Screening has been proposed on both the back of Bocca Paddle site and the North Park in general. This slide shows the west and north elevations of the proposed facility. The west elevation will be the view that will face the existing residential condominiums and will include two green walls that are shown right here. The North elevation will face the Jeffrey Street right of way. Site plan approval on the Boca paddle site, which is a little bit difficult to see, but it's this shaded area right here. So again, it's approximately 77,000 square foot pickleball and paddle facility that will include 14 indoor pickleball courts, two indoor paddle courts, nine outdoor pickleball courts, locker rooms, food beverage service, and other site improvements, including a new surface parking lot. Access to the facility will be via the North Park entrance. So here's that entrance on Jeffrey Street, and then this is the southern portion of the park. So it would be, you would come in here and then go down through this parking and then enter this way. And that is approximately 250 feet to the south of the entrance. The proposed vehicular and pedestrian access is contingent upon construction of all improvements related to the north park application So This is just for this item you're recommending to the city council You're making a recommendation regarding the conditional use approval and site plan for bokeh paddle and so that additional use approval and site plan for bokeh paddle. And so that development services department recommends approval and that completes my presentation. Thank you. Any questions from Ms. Hanson? Mr. Mitchell? Mr. Open? Ms. Richie? Mr. Dormeliser? Mr. Salon? No questions. Wow. You got away easy. Okay. Mr. Dormblaser? Mr. Salon? No questions. You got away easy. Okay. With that, I'll ask the petition to come up and see if he wants to add anything to Ms. Hanson's presentation. Good evening, Board. David Millage, 14 South East Forest Street, Booker Tone for the record. I don't have much to add. I'll just run through the slides real quick, like this presentation to be added to the record. The location, the access that Ms. Hanson was talking about is off-Jaffrey and serpentines into the project. The project is independently parked. So based off of the parking provided on-site, they don't need the other parking provided within North Park. The operations, as mentioned, there's 14 indoor pickleball courts, two Padell courts. I don't know the difference between the two different sports, but then there is reception, lounge space, food and beverage inside, and then there is reception, lounge space, food and beverage inside, and then there's a mezzanine that has a viewing platform for the indoor courts as well as an outdoor viewing platform for the outdoor. The elevations as Miss Hanson already went through. And again, as mentioned by staff, we're requesting conditional use because we're going over 25 feet. And we're going up to 46 feet and the closest condominium bill, things approximately 370 feet away from their rear to our front. One thing I will like to just again point out is that the outdoor pickle ball courts are located on the east side of the building so we thought that was a benefit to further provide buffering from any type of noise or any ill effects from the sport. Happy to answer any questions. Questions? Anyone? I have one. Is this going to be owned by the beach in parts district? Yeah, so the facility, the building and the property is owned by the district. There is a concession agreement with the operator and the district. And the building is being constructed by the developer. They're out there outlying the capital cost to build it. Okay, do you, I think you quoted me a number when we spoke earlier today? What was the cost of this? For my understanding, and Mr. butters is not here, but from what he told me, the construction cost for this facility is approximately 17 million. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, I have a question. Mr. Salada's a question. I noticed on the site plan, and this is the last time that I'm going to bring this up. You have bicycle parking in the loop style for 22 bicycles. I just want to assure the applicant that if they wanted to change to a different creative style to provide bicycle parking that they would not need a site plan amendment. And we'll be happy to look into it too. Mr. Salon. Mr. Mitchell. What's the price point for either a membership or monthly dues or? So the the district and the applicant negotiated their concession agreement They looked at market rates and that's what's provided for in the concession agreement. I don't know the cost For my understanding there is a membership mechanism, but also they will have day passes. And the concession agreement is a public record and anyone can request a copy. Thank you. Yeah, thank you. This is a public hearing, anybody from the public? We should speak through, we have cards. I have Cor courtee remain. I'm short. Okay, please state your name and address of the record. Do you have three minutes? Good evening. My name is Courtney Romaine. I reside at 6,000 Northwest Second Avenue in response to Mr. Millenge. The costs are $49 per month with a $16 use fee that is the community rate and we are graciously allowed to use the facility weekdays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. I vehemently oppose this Pickleball facility. I only lived in Mocha Tika for three years. In those three years, I have seen traffic increase exponentially among second avenue. There are two members on the committee that also live in the area. I'm sure that you can attest to this. The traffic that has gone from second avenue from Yamato, cutting through, going to Clint Moore, to go to Costco, to go to all the other places over the bridge, it is extraordinarily challenging to get in and out of there during rush hour. There are school buses, it floods, on second avenue, and increase in traffic to and from this facility will only make this worse. Furthermore, the noise that comes from pickleball, the bing, hush, bing, Hush, Bing, Hush is constant. I realize that there are indoor facilities, but there are also going to be outdoor facilities. That noise along with traffic lights from evening games, the reduction of the tree line that increases the noise from the trees, or excuse me, from the train, all these are issues that are going to impact the residents along Northwest Second Ave and not just in Boca Tica, but on the other side as well. There are environmental issues that come along with putting in such a large facility, including anthropogenic waste and heat from having surface parking, from having a facility that is superseding nature. And so with these, I just really feel that this pickleball facility is a solution to a question that nobody has asked for. If individuals wish to have these pickleball facilities, they can use the facilities at Patrick Park that are already in place. There is a facility down already a sports facility on Yamato that could be modified for this purpose. I do not feel that this should be in place. And I'm in very much support of the North Park and perhaps that could be expanded to this area as well. Thank you. I have no other cards. Okay this gentleman Mr. Fox is it? Robert Fox 5700 North West second, I remind you that we live right next to 5,800. So a couple of things. Number one, with this lady said about having a buffer to block the noise from the trains, I didn't even think about that. That's extremely important. Number, yeah, there are now. You're right. The second item is number one, our little Boca-Tica community, which apparently is supporting all Boca Raton and all South Palm Beach County, we should have a serious discount on membership. I think we should be free for at least the buildings that surround this structure. Secondly, right now, 5,700 and 5,500 on one side is going to be the structure. There's currently there's a 10 foot hedge that's been there since Ocean Breeze and it's half dead. In back of us there's a three foot hedge along the golf course and again it's half dead. This was always covered by Ocean Breeze. Is the Parks Department going to beautify this now? Are they going to take care of all this and make it pretty? And I think that everybody sitting up there, part of your job is to make sure that our property value increases. I think that's extremely important. You know, we don't want to be the recipient of a monstrosity. So I just, you know, I'm excited. I hope it turns out great. I offer, I only offer caution and to do the right thing for the people that are live there. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else? Sir? I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. I'm going to ask you a question. One last comment. First of all, I don't think I introduced myself. I live at 316 North West 67th in the Sandy Vance Development. Thank you very much. I did want to mention, especially since park district staff are here. They have been written twice and never responded to the 1700 homeowners who ask about what was going on there with that property and this property. They have never responded, but a park district officer did and one occasion, a member of the park district, I think a board member, did comment in an email that he got our correspondence and it's under consideration. If they're not gonna take the time that you are taking to listen to the public, they're gonna face a major lawsuit that are relying on some poor opinions that have been cited here today. And that will be coming in the future if they don't address it. But I would suggest you table this matter, not proceed with any approvals until you get legal opinion for your own protection. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Millage, would you like to respond to any of this? No, gentlemen, next to you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Chair. So the parks district did do a uphol. It was a pull of a little over a thousand individuals responded and over 30% of the people who responded asked for pickleball courts. So pickleball courts are a demand in the community. And also what's important to note about this facility is that this is from our understanding the first ground up purpose built indoor pickable facility within South Florida. Now there's other indoor facilities around, but they're all converting existing warehouse or other big box space. So we believe that this is going to be a boost to tourism within Book Rotone. We think it's going to be a benefit to the community. It's going to increase, although I am not a certified appraiser, we do believe that it will be increasing values of nearby properties because of this great amenity within the city. And, you know, if there are title concerns, I think that's outside the purview of this board. We're here for planning and zoning. You know, anything that happens subsequent to the passage of a site plan that's between the applicant and any type of defendants. Thank you. Staff of any comments or questions? Okay. Not. Anybody in the board have anything else? Okay. Not a look for a motion in a second. For 6C1, the conditional use approval. Move to approve. Second. So seconded. Okay, any discussion? Not Jamie, please call the roll. Chair Seville. Yes. Mr. Mitchell. Yes. Mr. Solan. Yes. Mr. Rochelle. Yes. Mr. Durham- Yes, Mr. Solan. Yes, Mr. Rosha. Yes, Mr. Durham laser. No And Miss Ritchie. Yes has five Next is 6c2 the site plan resolution Look for motion in a second It's your proof so seconded any discussion Not Jamie, please call the roll. Chair Seville. Yes. Mr. Mitchell. Yes. Mr. Solan. Yes. Mr. Rousha. Yes. Mr. Durham-Lazer? No. Mr. Richie. Yes. Pass five to one. Okay. Next item is the Bococena Commercial Industrial Multifamily Development at 1,800 North Military Trial. Okay. Resolution of the City of Bocortone considering for the approximately 11.87 acre property generally located at 1,800 North Military Trail, an amendment to an approved site plan planning and zoning board resolution number five-29, as amended by resolution number seven-21. For a commercial industrial multi-family development, CIMD to authorize construction of a new six story, 25 unit, multi-family residential building, including 10% affordable and 5% workforce housing units, and related site improvements, providing for repealer, providing effective date. Okay, thank you. X Part A communications, Mr. Salon. No, Mr. Dornblaser? Yes, I spoke to Ellie Zach�res. Yes, Mr. Ruggie. I spoke to Ellie Zacharitas and David Abrams. I spoke to Ellie Zacharitas. Mr. Mitchell. I spoke to Ellie as well. Mr. Roker. I also had a meeting with Ellie. She makes a lot of phone calls. Okay. Okay. Jim, you, Mr. Bell, you're going to present this. Again, a good evening chair and members of the board, Jim Bell, with Development Service Department. I'll be presenting the Bocca Center Residential Project, which is located 1800 North Military Trail. The applicant is requesting to amend a previously approved site plan that authorize development of an existing four-story 50-foot tall 149,500 square foot office building that has a four-level parking structure to prove a new commercial industrial multifamily development known as a CIMD which consists of a new six-story 295 unit, 363,851 square foot multifamily residential the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of the city of which equates to 15 units. On February 13th of 2024, the City Council approved an ordinance providing for the construction of up to 2,500 dwelling units, including affordable and potentially workforce housing units. In certain commercial industrial zoning districts located in the city's plan mobility or PM future land use category, specifically the ordinance established eligibility requirements, development standards, and approval procedures for these CMIDs. If approved, this project would utilize 295 units of the 250, sorry, of the 2500 unit bank permitted for the CMDs, which is citywide authorized pursuant to the city code. The project will be located on the vacant northern portion of the approximately 11.8 acre property located at 1800 North Military Trail, just east of the shops at Boca Center. The property is zone professional office and industrial, P-O-N-I, and as a future land use designation of PM, with the exception of 1.4 acres of environmental preserves on the site, which has a conservation future land use designation. The overlawed site plan shows that the proposed multifamily residential building and the integrated parking structure is located north of the existing office building. There are eight parallel parking spaces that will be added to the existing driveway. The existing comfort conservation easement and scrub preserve area remain on the site. The proposed multifamily residential building includes a club room lounge, co-working space, and a gym on the first floor. The gym includes a mezzanine that is also accessible from the second floor. Two outdoor pickle courts, pickleball courts, are also accessible from the second floor. Two outdoor pickle courts, pickleball courts are also accessible for the second floor. An outdoor area with covered seating areas and a planter is proposed on the sixth floor. A pool pavilion and outdoor kitchen is proposed at ground level on the south side of the building. In terms of multimodal features, the proposed pedestrian circulation access is comprised of an internal walkway system that is connected to the shared-use path network at three locations. Two connecting the new multifamily residential building and one connecting the existing office building. The site provides good connectivity between the two buildings, providing a direct pedestrian connection for someone who might live and work outside. Outside, on site. The project will add a connection to shops at Bococent or near the multifamily residential building and eliminated existing connection that connects to the McDonald's drive through lanes. As per this development approval the applicant is extending the existing eight foot wide shared-use path along the east property line to curve to the west along the north property line to connect to the existing sidewalk network and a plan extension of the shared use path north at the shops of Boko point which was approved in July. The applicants coordinated with the shops of Boko point to also provide two direct pedestrian connections to the property, one near military trail and a second connection further east. Connecting the existing shared use path north military trail will make the existing shared use pathway accessible to the public and is a significant public benefit associate with this application Since the properties driveway encompasses all the applications frontage on North military trail adding street additional street trees is not possible as part of this project. CIMDs require a minimum of 25,000 square feet of office, restaurant, and or retail sales or services within a quarter mile within a minimum of 10,000 square feet being restaurant and or retail sales or services. At least 2,062 and 426 square feet of office, restaurant, and or retail sales or services exist within a quarter mile of the proposed CIMD. 149,500 square feet consists of the existing office building located on the property. And 112,926 square feet being restaurant or retail sales or services is located at the shops of Boca Center that directly abuts the project, far exceeding these minimum requirements. In terms of elevations, the proposed site plan introduces a six-story, 66-foot tall contemporary multifamily residential building with a five-level integrated parking structure onto a site with an existing forest story, 50-foot tall office building and a four-level parking structure. So this is the west elevation that would face the shops at Boca Center. These are the elevations that would face east towards the railroad tracks and I-95. This is a rendering of the West elevation to propose multi-family building. This is the elevation that would be just north of the existing office building. And this is a north of the existing office building. This is a photo of the West elevation existing office building, which we just south of the rendering on the previous slide. As you can see, the proposed multifamily residential building is architecturally compatible and complimentary to the existing office building. During the staff analysis, this application staff found that the project will provide an additional 295 rental dwelling units in the city with 30 of them being affordable housing and 15 workforce housing units. The project is consistent and compatible with the adjacent land uses. The project has the design, support goals, objectives, and policies in the comp plan related to pedestrian bicycle and transmulbility, and the project complies with all applicable code requirements. So in conclusion, the development services department recommends approval of the site plan amendment with a commercial industrial multi-family development. And that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Questions for staff? Mr. Richie. No stone blazer It's just a long none Mr. Mitchell None mr. Roka none. Thank you chair. There's no questions without a list of petitioner to come up and Make her presentation good evening Ellie's a cararitas, Ms. Goldbachman, 14 Southeast Forest Street. I have a very lengthy presentation. I don't. I have a presentation, but Mr. Bell, thank you for jumping in. You did an excellent job and for staff for working with us. All I'd like to say, I'm going to skip my presentation unless anybody really wants to see it. All I'd really like to say is this is the first CIMD project, and I think you all know how passionate I am about affordable housing and the fact that we're going to have 45 affordable housing units, I'm ecstatic. So we're here to answer any questions you may have. OK, questions for the petitioner. Mr. Mitchell? Does this connect to, I'm going to call it Crocker Center? Does this connect to Crocker Center? You have to go to the highway to the military and back out. Now we have a mobility plan. Let me pull it up. Actually it's right there. So you can see in red and blue both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. So you can connect. There's lots of crosswalks. We worked very closely with traffic and with planning to make sure we provided adequate crosswalks and in safe locations. Thank you. And I too, Colleague Crocker Center. I will forever call it Crocker Center. Okay. Okay, Mr. Roca. Can I follow up on your question, Mr. Mitchell? So, Mr. McRite, there's no vehicular connection if you were at Crocker Center. There is. There is, and I'm not sure if this plan is very clear. Can I do, right there? There is a vehicular point right there. Okay. I see that. Thank you for pointing that out. And in fact, Mr. Salon, there is an easement shared with cracker center for that access point. Okay, thank you, Mr. Mitchell, sorry, I stepped on that. It's okay. Okay, anybody else? Thank you. Thank you. It's a public hearing. Anybody from the public? Just one quick comment. David Abers, North American Development Group 360 South Rose Mary Avenue, sweet 400 West Palm Beach Florida. Mr. Salon, we will not do this because we have bicycle racks. We will do something much more exciting. Okay. Okay. Is that? I have no cards. No cards. Okay. Anybody wish to speak on this? Last call, public hearing is closed. Look for a motion on a second for approval. Motion to approve. Second. Any discussion? Seeing none, Jamie, please call the roll. Mr. Mitchell? Yes. Mr. Salon?

You have another issue. OK, next item is the Boca Beach Club. Coastal control line variance. Jamie, would you read that item into the record? Yes. 900 South Ocean Boulevard, a resolution of the city council of the city of Boqueraton considering for the Boca Beach Club Hotel on the approximately 12.42 acre property generally located at 900 South Ocean Boulevard. A coastal construction control line variance from section 28-1556, three code of ordinances, which variance is required for the construction of a new event, lawn and hardscape, and landscape improvements to the existing poolside Lanayan bar area, together with the repeal of a previous CCCL variance, Resolution number 51-2023, that approved the installation of two purgolies, seward of the CCCL variance, Resolution No. 51-2023, that approved the installation of two purgolies, seward of the CCCL, but which was never constructed, providing for repeal or providing an effective date. And the EXPARTA communications on this, Mr. Rob? No, not on the side of the floor. Mitchell? Yes, I spoke to the petitioner. I spoke with David Millage. Yep. I spoke with David Millage. I spoke with David Millage. I had his Zoom call this morning with David Millage. I had his Zoom call with David today as well. Okay, Heather? Yep, it's me again. Good evening. For the record again, my name is Heather Hansen and I have been sworn in. This is regarding a request for a coastal construction control line variance, CCCL, for proposed work at the Book of Beach Club located at 900 South Ocean Boulevard. To be sure that you are familiar with the jargon, the coastal construction control line is part of a state program intended to regulate structures and activities that can cause beach erosion, destabilize dunes, damage, upland properties, or interfere with public access. They also protect sea turtles and dune plants. With rising sea levels and concerns over life and property related to such rise and storm conditions, the CCCL has moved westerly over the years, increasing the amount of the beach club that falls east of the CCL. CCL, maybe I'll just call it the line. So the approximately 12 acre property is located east of South Ocean Boulevard and north of the Boka Inlet. The property is on multi-family residential with a future land use designation of residential high. The applicant is requesting a CCL variance approval to authorize the construction of a new event lawn and hard-scape and landscape improvements to the existing poolside linies together with the repeal of a previously approved variance that approved the installation of two pergolas, which were never constructed, and includes a new CCL variants for the pergola with one remaining in the same location and one being relocated. That's a lot of detail. So here's some history. I won't go through all of this, but it was originally approved in 1976 through conditional use for the Hotel and Cabana Club on the property. Up through, I'll start with the one in October in 2022, the city opened a code enforcement case to remove existing unpermitted structures located on the beach that included storage units, teaky huts, and a kitchen that utilized an existing unpermitted conduit that runs underneath the dunes and along the beach. But since then, the applicant, the city, and State Department of Environmental Protection have worked together to address the removal of the unpermitted structures and utilities. The kitchen and several teaky huts have been removed. The applicant has submitted a beach storage plan for the remaining structures equipment still located on the beach that include check-in podiums, storage sheds for umbrellas and cushions, lifeguard stands, and loud chair storage areas. The storage plan has been approved by the city's sea turtle conservation coordinator and senior environmental officer. So this I'll show you where the CC CL line is, but these are the three areas of proposed work. To the north is the is the north lawn below that is the are the line I areas and the area to the south is a location of the two new pergolas. I'll show you where that line is now, relation to the work. So in the north lawn, the current CCL line is shown in red. The previous one is off to the right there. So you can see that most of this wasn't behind the CCCL line before. Bill, for this project, the applicant will install new papers to provide a pedestrian access to the event lawn. The event lawn will consist of artificial turf that will be framed by a four-foot paved border. Excavation is required for the removal and installation of landscaping and the required border around the event lawn area to for the removal and installation of landscaping and the required border around the event lawn area to ensure the payers and artificial turf are kept in place. The event lawn will not include any vertical construction. This is the Lanai area and you can see how the CC line moved there to the old one is shown, shown right here. The applicant will also install additional landscape and hard-scape improvements at the existing land-rise that front the north side of the pool area. The improvements are designed to provide landscape areas between each unit to enhance privacy. Each land-rise will be provided with a new walkway providing access to the pool area. And here's the pergola relocation. So this was the original approval over here, but neither of them were built. So now this one got moved further away from the ocean. So this is where they're proposing to have them now. There'll be aluminum structures on the existing pool deck and they will install additional papers to provide a solid base underneath the percolus with new footings to accommodate the support beams. So basically the three areas were already impacted prior to what they are proposing here that they've already been either dug up or have pavement or whatever. So they're not impacting a new area. So at its August 29th meeting, the Environmental Advisory Board reviewed the application and recommended approval with the addition of the conditions shown in the slide. The main concern with the artificial turf was the fact that it is microplastic and this could influence the beach ocean and wildlife that is in close proximity. The board did discuss additional materials such as grass and crust shell but settled on pervious pavers due to the possibility of ADA issues. These amendments are not shown in the resolution that is before you, because staff didn't really have time to discuss it and the applicant is hoping to not have to add those. So the recommendation, the Development Services Department recommends approval of the application and the Environmental Advisory Board recommends approval with conditions. And so that's the end of my presentation. Happy New Year's questions about that. Thank you. Questions for staff. Mr. Don Blazer? No. Slant? Mr. Mitchell? No questions. Mr. Roca. None, Thank you. Mr. Mitchell. No questions. Mr. Roca. No questions. It's the millage. Make your presentation. Thank you. I'm sure you guys are tired of sitting here tonight. David Millage, 14th-south-east Forest Street for the record. Here on behalf of the property owner and applicant. Heather did a great job. I don't have too much to add. I won't go through the presentation. We are just all of these proposed requests are already at disturbed lands at the property as it relates to the EAB's recommendations. It doesn't really fit with the proposed operations for the event lawn. The event lawn would have weddings, special events, but also, currently it's being used at times for slip-in slides and water slides for kids. They go out there, they throw the football around. Having a hard surface just as suggested by EAB does not fall in line with the proposed operations. We understand their concerns. We do have a statement from the manufacturer. I hope it's at the end of this presentation that says that based off of their review, which it's not, is that their product does not contain any of those forever chemicals. So I think that is important. The product that will be used for the artificial turf does not have any of the forever chemicals that we hear so much about. Happy to answer any other questions. Thank you. Questions from Mr. Mitchell. No questions? Mr. Mitchell? No questions. Okay. Is this a law? No question. No question. No question. Chair, there's no questions. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Mr. Miller, thank you. You're off for the rest of the night. Yeah. Yeah. OK. No cards? Anybody from the public wishing to speak on this item? Seeing none, close the public hearing. Need a motion in a second? So motioned. Second. OK. Any discussion? Jamie, please call the roll oh Mr. Mitchell wait hold hold on Just for our clarity any motions can you just specify whether or not you're considering EABs proposed conditions or if you're just proposing as the ordinance reflects from Just proposing as the ordinance reflects from the proposing as the ordinance reflects. As submitted. Okay. Mr. Solan. Yes. Mr. Urusia. Yes. Mr. Drumblazer. Yes. Mr. Richie. Yes. And Chircivil. Yes. Pass 6 to 0. Can I get thezer? Yes. Mr. Richie? Yes. I'm Chair Saville. Yes. Past six to zero. Okay. Did I get the vote? Yes. You get the vote. She's going to call your name? No. Oh. It's yes, but it's okay. It's getting late. And we're on the edge of our seat now. What did he say? Okay. Less but not least is the town center outdoor patio expansion. 6,000 west glades road. A resolution of the city of Boca Raton considering an amendment to the master's site plan for the approximately 141 acre town center at Boca Raton Mall. Generally located at 6,000 Wesglades Road, including the approximately 123.62 acre original mall property. Generally located at 5,700, 5,800, 5,840, 5,860, 5,900, and 6,000 Wesglades Road Palm Beach County Resolution number are 77, 1196 as amended to authorize for the original mall property portion of the overall site, the expansion of an existing outdoor patio area from 940 square feet to 2140 square feet and increase of approximately 1200 square feet and other minor site modifications landscaping and hard escaping. Together with the technical deviation from section 28-936 code of ordinances to reduce the required number of street parking spaces from 8.015 parking spaces to 8.00, sorry, 8,015 to 8,0009, providing for repeal or providing an effective date. 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 I spoke to Ellie Zacharytis. I spoke with Adam Beagle. I spoke with Ellie Zacharytis and Adam Beagle. Okay. Heather? Okay. Heather Hatzel for the record and I've been sworn in. I'll be presenting the Outer Patio Expansion Project located at 6,000 West Glades Road in the Bococinermal. The applicant is requesting a master site plan amendment for the expansion of an existing outdoor patio area from what is now 940 square feet to 2140 square feet an increase of approximately 1200 square feet with other minor site modifications including landscaping and hardscaping. Together with a technical deviation to allow for no additional parking spaces for the 1200 square foot expansion. The same size patio expansion and the same technical deviation for parking were approved back in 2018, but the improvements were not constructed and the approvals have since expired. So the applicant proposes to redevelop a small portion. It's this little area right in here. Of the approximately 142-acre Bocatown Center property, which fronts Glades Road to the North, St. Andrews Boulevard to the West, and Buts Road to the East. The property is on City Commercial General because it used to be part of the county until it was annexed and has a future land use designation of plain mobility. As I mentioned, the Outer Patio Expansionist for two restaurants, Lomani Grill and Madame Tangs, other site modifications which are adjacent to the patio expansion include the relocation of two small trees within an existing landscape island and repaving existing hardscape. So here's a little more detail. Staff supports this requested technical deviation for not providing more parking, which would have required six additional parking spaces. Although there is a surplus of parking provided at the overall site, it should be noted that the parking requirements for the original mall property cannot rely on surplus parking provided by the out parcels, which are those other commercial buildings that are not attached to the mall basically. The mall has seen, since the approval of the previous patio expansion, the mall has seen a decrease in customers caused by the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 in the closure of the Sears store. As stated in the applicant's investigative letter of the parking study performed in 2015, the Sears store has permanently closed which previously had 811 parking spaces designated for customer use. In the case that parking is unavailable, customers can spill over into the available Sears parking area. The applicant has included photographs taken of parking areas surrounding Sears during peak hours on Saturday that show that a technical deviation will not adversely affect the parking demand at the mall. There is an existing transportation demand management plan at the mall which provides a 30% discount on unlimited monthly passes for PalmTrend systems. A condition of approval and a site plan resolution requires the two restaurant tenants to provide a 50% palm-tran subsidy for their employees to encourage the use of alternative transportation. The original parking study that was completed in 2015 was conducted prior to the sear store closing in the spring of 2018. As I mentioned earlier, the technical deviation requested is similar to the technical deviation granted for the Grand Lux Cafe Project in 2018, which has subsequently expired. Staff finds that while the applicant's justification alone may not be sufficient when paired with the recommended condition of approval requiring additional transit subsidies, it would be sufficient. And as such, staff supports the request so long as such condition is included. I would like to note I don't know the gentleman's name but representative for Saratage who are the upper or own the Sears portion submitted a letter today. Do you know Amy? Jeffrey Lynn. Yeah, to oppose this. Okay. Is it not here this evening? No. So the proposed project is consistent and compatible with the city's comp plan. The proposed project will expand on an existing ultra patio space to provide adequate outdoor seating for two new restaurants. The technical deviation to reduce the double parking spaces is similar to a previously approved technical deviation. The site plan resolution includes a condition of approval to increase transit subsidies to 50% for the employees that work at the two new restaurants to encourage the use of alternative transportation. The Development Services Department recommends approval of the Master's Site Plan amendment. Thank you. Concludes my questions. Thank you, Mr. Staff. No questions for the staff. And the last presentation would have come up committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the committee to make a presentation. I'm going to ask the. I have a presentation but Heather thank you very much and appreciate you stepping in so we can just answer questions if that's the will of the board. Okay. It's 915. Okay. Make us feel guilty. Yeah. Listen I mean I can go on and on about this all day long. It's two beautiful restaurants that are coming in to replace Grandlox. We're expanding the outdoor seating area ever so slightly to 1200 square feet. I do think it's very important to note that this application is the exact mirror image of a previous application that was approved. Unfortunately, it lapsed, so we're dusting it off and resubmitting it. But yes, this board has seen this exact application in years past and had approved it. and just to be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to adjust and be able to the public hearing. Jamie, please, we need a motion in a second. For approval. I need to approve. Seconded. Okay. Any discussion? Okay. Jamie, please call the roll. Mr. Salon. Yes. Mr. Rosha. Yes. Mr. Doran Blazer. Yes. Mr. Richie. Yes. Chersavelle. Yes. Mr. Mitchell. Yes. Pass 6-0. Okay. Thank you. Next. Mr. Mitchell. Yes. Pass 6-0. Okay. Thank you. Next item, public requests. Anybody from the public wishing to speak on any issue? Okay. Seeing none, do we have a director's report other than your trip back? I have no report. Okay. Thank you. Chair's no reports. With that at 9-15 we are adjourned.
