2. SPECIAL PRESENTATION:
Palm Beach County Special Awards
Planning, Zoning and Building
(PZ&B) Executive Director Dominic Sims expressed his pleasure in
acknowledging awards honoring Palm Beach County. He thanked the Board without whose vision, leadership,
and direction the awards would not be possible; County Administration staff for their support and
guidance; and, in particular, PZ&B staff and other agencies for their contributions.
2.A.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES
(NACO) "BEST OF CATEGORY" 2000 ACHIEVEMENT AWARD. DISCUSSED 6-29-2000
Planning Director Frank M. Duke said it was his pleasure to acknowledge the National Association of
Counties (NACo) "Best of Category" 2000 Achievement Award given to Palm Beach County for the Lake
Okeechobee Scenic Trail project. In addition, the project would be honored as the most outstanding
economic development project in the nation at NACo's conference next month in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Senior Planner Vicki Silver, project manager, said the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail encircles the lake, an
area of about 110 miles, and was designed to attract hikers, bikers, equestrians, and other recreational
users in order to help diversify the economy in the Glades area and entire lakeside community.
2.B.
TREES FLORIDA 2000 AWARD. DISCUSSED 6-29-2000
Zoning Director William C. Whiteford introduced the Trees Florida 2000 Award which had been received by
the Zoning Division in the area of "large township over 50,000" for their efforts in educating the public
on pruning. The award had been presented at the Trees Florida 2000 state conference in Tarpon Springs
earlier this month.
Principal Site Planner Jon Macgillis recalled that several months previously, the Unified Land Development
Code was amended by the adoption of new pruning regulations. In an effort to institute and enforce those
regulations, the Zoning Division had implemented a public education program. This program included the
following:
Mailing an informative letter to 3,000 persons in the landscape industry and larger homeowner
associations;
Creating a how-to pruning pamphlet, available in the Zoning Division, which outlines basic technical
requirements and enforcement procedures; and
Posting on the Internet pruning guidelines that walk the user through basic code provisions and benefits
of the new standards.
Mr. Macgillis said he was happy to report that there has been a significant decrease in the number of
complaints received as well as much positive feedback from the public in general.
2.C.
AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION
(APA) 2000 CURRENT TOPIC AWARD FOR GROWTH SMART INITIATIVES AND
APPLICATIONS. PRESENTED 6-29-2000
Planning Director Duke announced that the final honor being acknowledged today was the American Planning
Association (APA) 2000 Current Topic Award for Growth Smart Initiatives and Applications. In April of
this year, the award was presented to Palm Beach County at a ceremony in New York City in recognition of
the County's development of the Managed Growth Tier System. Mr. Duke then introduced a brief video, which
had been shown at the ceremony, that introduced Palm Beach County to planners from around the country.
Principal Planner Elizabeth Miller, project manager, commended a number of groups for their work and
dedication on the managed growth program: the Policy Development Task Force, the Land Use Advisory Board,
the Planning, Zoning and Building staff, and, most significantly, the Board of County Commissioners. It
was the Board's vision and leadership that was the catalyst for the program, she said.
Ms. Miller then presented the Board with the award.
Commissioner Roberts observed that NACo had asked Mr. Duke to be a presenter at their annual conference
next month. She praised the contributions of Mr. Duke and Ms. Miller to the managed growth program.
Commissioner Aaronson thanked the staff for the outstanding work they have done and will continue to do in
the future.
Commissioner Lee said that that sentiment was shared by the rest of the Board and praised the quality of
the staff.
Commissioner Newell noted that last week, Palm Beach County had been honored with awards from NACo for the
Countywide Community Revitalization Team (CCRT), Agricultural Reserve, and environmentally sensitive
lands. He said he was very proud of the staff and their work.
Commissioner Masilotti remarked that the awards would not have been possible without 70 percent of the
voters of Palm Beach County having taken time out of their busy schedules to support the environmentally
sensitive lands acquisition bonds referendum in March 1999. He thanked the voters and said the Board was
doing everything it could to keep its promises to use the money wisely.
Commissioner Lee expressed gratitude to the advisory groups who had given much time and effort to the
managed growth program.

7. Any additional increase in density must be requested through the TDR program. (ONGOING: ZONING)
Principal Planner David Flinchum made the following points in his presentation:
Proposed was a 600-unit planned development consisting of 295 single-family homes and 305 zero lot line
homes. The preliminary development plan on Page 241 of the backup indicates several scattered lakes
totaling about 62 acres, two preserve areas totaling about 13 acres, an approximate 5-acre parcel being
proposed for public civic use, and several recreation areas totaling over 8 acres.
The development is planned to use the existing western access from State Road 7 (U.S. 441), using
Pioneer Road, and have two additional access points on either side of the future Lyons Road extension.
The land use designation is Low Residential 2. Planned unit development
(PUD) density would allow up to
534 units. The petitioner was asking for an additional 66 units, or a total of 600 units.
The project is subject to the Transfer of Development Rights
(TDR) ordinance adopted in March 2000, and
staff is recommending the application of the current price of $9,883 for each TDR unit.
The TDR ordinance addresses compatibility for proposed densities with adjacent properties. Project's
compatibility with surrounding land uses: (1) to the north is the C-51 canal and Southern Boulevard right-of-way; (2) to the northeast is the existing Whispering Oaks community; (3) to the northwest is the
existing Westwoods PUD; and (4) to the south are 1- to 15-acre parcels, some of which have single-family
residences, some of which are vacant.
As part of the review process, the petitioner has agreed to limit all perimeter homes that are adjacent
to property lines to a single story not to exceed 25 feet in height.
The Traffic Division projects 6,000 trips per day from this project.
The site has two preserve areas: one, eight acres in the east along Benoist Farms Road; the other, five
acres in the southern portion of the property, contiguous to the Lake Worth Drainage District
(LWDD) L-5
canal. The latter may be relocated by the Environmental Resources Management Department. The TDR
ordinance requires a 100-foot buffer when proposing density adjacent to preserve areas.
Perimeter buffering starts with a minimum 25-foot buffer. When there is a difference of 2 units per
acre between the receiving area and adjacent properties, an additional 5 feet of buffer is required for
every extra unit or fraction thereof. The developer has used interior roadways, proposed lakes, factored
in a Florida Power & Light Company easement that bisects the property at Southern Boulevard on the north
side, and has incorporated artificial and natural barriers to address density compatibility concerns.
The petitioner is requesting the following flexible regulations: (1) reduction in front setbacks from 25
feet to 22.5 feet; and (2) increase of lot coverage for both the single-family homes and the zero lot line
homes. Staff supports both requests. The petitioner has agreed to incorporate several staff-proposed
elements, such as street trees and focal points, in order to meet the standards for an exemplary project.
At the June 1, 2000, Zoning Commission meeting, the petition was approved as follows: (1) PUD rezoning
by a vote of 5-0; and (2) TDR approval by a vote of 3-2.
Most discussion centered on the access on the LWDD E-1 bridge, specifically the existing two lanes versus
the additional third lane that will be generated by the project.
Concerns about the project's residents trespassing on Westwoods property led to the petitioner agreeing to
construct a six-foot-high fence along the entire western property line and along the northern property
line adjacent the Southern Boulevard canal.
Considerable discussion was devoted to the need for a school bus shelter in this area, especially in light
of the additional children who will live in the new community. The petitioner has agreed, at the time of
the first certificate of occupancy, to construct a school bus shelter and drop-off area in the southwest
corner of the project from Pioneer Road.
Much discussion was devoted to the TDR unit price. The Zoning Commission voted to defer that issue to the
Board of County Commissioners.
Staff has received 4 letters in support of the petition, 10 letters in opposition, and 2 letters
undecided. Concerns generally dealt with neighborhood trespassing, fencing along the Westwoods community,
school bus access, additional traffic, and loss of native vegetation.
Mr. Flinchum noted that the Board had received a handout of revised Engineering conditions. That handout
is as follows:

Stephen Covert sought assurance that Condition E.11, which was added at the Zoning Commission hearing,
remained a part of the conditions should the Board approve the item. Zoning Director Whiteford said it
would be so.
Ken Mitchell contended the project would add to the area's increasing overcrowding and congestion.
Commissioner Masilotti explained to the speaker that under the Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property
Rights Protection Act, a governmental entity cannot legally stop a person from building on his or her
property provided it meets its current zoning. He added that Palm Beach County had been cited as the most
ecologically minded county in the nation this year and that the Board has been able to reduce the growth
rate in the unincorporated area by almost 50 percent in the last two years.
Larry Thornborg read a 73-signature petition, summarized as follows:
Adding 66 TDR units would add density to more than disproportionate levels in comparison to
Westwoods,
which has a density of 0.61.
Zero lot line homes would be incompatible with the neighboring communities.
Pioneer Road is the only ingress/egress of
Westwoods. Adding 6,000 trips a day to this road, which is
not designed to carry anywhere near that number, threatens the health, safety, and welfare of the
community and creates a nightmarish traffic situation. Diamond C Ranch development should use an access
other than Pioneer Road.
The Lyons Road extension is scheduled to be built after the construction of 430 homes in the Diamond C
Ranch development, but it should be built before such construction. Otherwise, the health, welfare, and
safety of the community are jeopardized.
(CLERK'S NOTE: The following motion was made later in the meeting.)
MOTION to receive and file the petition. Motion by Commissioner
Masilotti, seconded by Commissioner Aaronson, and carried 5-0. Commissioners McCarty and Marcus absent.
Ronald P. Mazur, president of the Westwoods Property Owners Association, said the association knew the
beautiful area to the east would be developed eventually but argued that the petitioner had gone too far:
The original intent of the development had already been doubled. Experimentation with ideas such as
TDRs should not be permitted to impose harm through more density on existing and adjacent communities.
Over 50 percent of the units are zero lot line homes. The neighboring Westwoods consists of 81 acres,
49 lots, large lake, and green areas. Westwoods would like the developer to build estate homes, which are
more harmonious with the surrounding communities.
Use of the two-lane Pioneer Road by the developer's construction vehicles in addition to the existing
use by Westwoods residents, other neighbors, and a successful commercial business
(Odums landscaping) was
beyond reason.
Development of the Lyons Road extension before construction has started on the Diamond C Ranch PUD is
critical to the existing communities.
In view of these concerns, Mr. Mazur requested a postponement of the petition to enable him and the
developer to discuss and these issues.
RECESS
At 11:02 a.m., the Chair declared a recess.
RECONVENE
At 11:14 a.m., the meeting reconvened with Commissioners
Aaronson, Lee, Masilotti, Newell, and Roberts
present.
Peggy Dokzal said her main concern in opposing the petition was the safety of the children:
High school students have to catch their bus by crossing the six-lane, soon to be eight-lane, State Road
7. There are no traffic signals.
Middle school students have to wait for their school bus directly in front of Odums landscaping business
on the L Canal bridge. Pickup time is 6:50 a.m.
The elementary school bus has to make a three-point turn in order to pick up and drop off students.
With Odums business traffic--sod trucks and dump trucks full of topsoil and earth--as well as community
traffic, these sites are unsafe for children in the light of day, never mind the dark.
The new development wants to add more than 500 units which will add thousands of additional trips
traveling along Pioneer Road daily. This will seriously jeopardize the safety of the area children.
Jean Mills, representing the Planning and Real Estate Department of the School District, assured
Commissioner Newell that the School District agreed to have all students picked up at the entrance to
Diamond C Ranch development on Pioneer Road.
Don Armsey said that "nature is the focus" at
Westwoods, which consists of lots one acre or greater and
every home on a lake, which is shared by foxes, alligators and rare birds. He contended the overall
development density of the Diamond C Ranch proposal was against both current zoning and a gradual flow of
low- to high-density housing. He complimented the Legends Lakes development at Lake Worth Road and State
Road 7; its 1.0-acre lots in front and 0.5-acre lots to the rear provide a nice flow and take nature into
account. Citing the loss of nature in the western area while recognizing the press of development, Mr.
Armsey said that too much was happening too fast and asked the Board to reject the proposal.
Commissioner Roberts reminded Mr. Armsey that under Florida law, two units per acre are allowed on the
property right now and said that she did not know if what he requested was legally possible.
Maxine Cheeseman deplored the impending loss of "nirvana" at
Westwoods, which was shared by residents and
wildlife. She objected to the development as proposed for the following reasons:
Zero lot line homes are not compatible with the existing community, which has houses greater than 2,500
square feet on one acre or more and values in the $250,000 range.
Westwoods' only access is a 1,000-foot-long bridge on Pioneer Road. The increasing number of homes that
will be using that single access will create traffic jams and be especially hard for the five homes
located on Pioneer itself. If the Diamond C Ranch development moves forward, other access points should
be available at the start of the project, not after 400 homes have been built.
The development as proposed will reduce property values. Westwoods will be bordered by zero lot line
homes to the east and a six-lane speedway to the west.
Addressing the Pioneer Road concern, Commissioner Masilotti clarified, through questioning of Land
Development Director Ken Rogers, that construction of the Lyons Road bridge over the C-51 canal would be
started within the year, not after the construction of 400 homes, and that it and construction of the
Lyons Road extension would be completed prior to September 1, 2002, or prior to the issuance of the 430th
building permit, whichever shall first occur.
Commissioner Newell observed that building 400 homes in two years was unrealistic and asked the petitioner
to consider a reduction to a more pragmatic number.
Richard Dupere shared his neighbors' concerns about
Westwoods' access and asked that Pioneer Road not be
burdened with traffic from 400 or even 300 homes.
Commissioner Masilotti informed the speaker that the applicant had agreed to change the building permit
figure to 250.
Craig Cohen said it would be unsafe for children on Pioneer Road during construction with its concomitant
speeding trucks and strangers "wandering around." Pioneer Road is a very tight two-lane roadway, he
noted, and any vehicle that breaks down does so in his front yard. He said he felt very uncomfortable
about his daughters playing in the front yard now. Dana Cohen shared her father's concerns and questioned
how she would be able to ride her bicycle or walk to a friend's house.
Commissioners Roberts,
Aaronson, and Newell responded to the speakers' concerns. Commissioner Aaronson
described the legal restrictions which bound the Board, applauded the building permit reduction obtained
by Commissioner Masilotti and the developer, and said that all the Board could do was to help the
residents get more "things," more buffers, more greenery.
Commissioner Newell assured the speakers that their comments were worthwhile and would factor into the
conditions to make the project more compatible, should it be approved. He was writing down their
comments, he said.
Elyce Werner expressed concern about Pioneer Road access, school bus access, and berm versus chain link
fence.
Commissioner Aaronson determined through questioning of staff and petitioner that the vinyl-coated, six-foot-high chain link fence would be substantially buffered and not be visible.
Sharyn Grace said that the developer's zero lot line homes on 75- to 100-foot lots were not compatible
with homes on acres or half acres.
(CLERK'S NOTE: At this time a motion was made to receive and file the petition presented by Mr.
Thornborg.
See Page 65.)
Joseph Vacarro, vice-president of the Westwoods Property Homeowners Association, said the association
would like to privatize Pioneer Road if the County would be willing to relocate it. He objected to the
zero lot line homes.
Commissioner Masilotti suggested that all construction traffic use the Lyons Road bridge as soon as it was
built (approximately two years), thus removing that traffic from Pioneer Road. Land Development Director
Rogers said a condition could be so written. Zoning Director Whiteford suggested:
Access for construction vehicles shall be limited to Lyons only after access to project from Lyons is
completed in accordance with Condition E.6.
Agent Boose agreed to the condition.
Mr. Masilotti asked if the petitioner would be willing to build Lyons Road first. Mr. Boose replied that
that would pose severe feasibility problems
Mr. Masilotti suggested using native vegetation, such as oak trees, instead of palm trees. Mr. Boose said
the petitioner could do that; he also said that the petitioner planned to replant the current trees,
specifically, relocate them to buffers contiguous to the neighbors where that is required. He added that
the petitioner would provide mature canopy trees on the buffer installations. The goal was to establish
the same sense of opaque wilderness residents currently enjoy in the 25- to 30-foot buffer along the
property line.
Agent Lelonek told Commissioner Masilotti that the buffer would not be bermed because of the number of
native pine trees in the area. "You berm it, you kill them," he said.
Mr. Boose told Commissioner Masilotti that a wooden fence "creates all kinds of tree destruction" and
"becomes a graffiti board."
Commissioner Newell asked, to follow up on Commissioner Masilotti's idea, if it would be possible to
initiate design and right-of-way acquisition immediately upon Development Review Committee certification.
Mr. Boose said that no one apart from the petitioner was involved in right-of-way acquisition. As for
design, he referred Mr. Newell to the County Engineer who has been instrumental in developing the
conditions for Lyons Road because of other Lyons Road issues in the general area.
County Engineer George T. Webb stressed that in order for this project to be able to move forward, the
Board needed to establish an alignment for Lyons Road through the project and potentially to the south.
Staff could start the process of bringing back the alignment for Board consideration as early as the fall
of 2000, he said.
A lengthy discussion on alignment followed.
Commissioner Aaronson suggested that the alignment be brought forward. Messrs. Webb and Boose agreed.
Commissioner Newell asked if the alignment study could be completed and in position to allow the
petitioner to start construction in August 2001. Mr. Webb said that it could.
Mr. Newell said he thought it better to have a flexibility of unit types, although residents may not like
that, because it makes for diversity and different types of people.
Mr. Newell relayed residents' concerns that only the fronts of units, and not the rears of units, were
being addressed. Zoning Director Whiteford said staff has been experiencing that problem with single-family homes and town houses. He said that there were no zero lot line homes on the perimeter of the
project--only single-family homes.
As for maintaining the preserve quality, Mr. Boose told Commissioner Newell that there was a preservation
plan for current or better quality together with a management plan. Maintenance would be the developer's
responsibility and, subsequently, the homeowners association. Environmental Analyst Robert Kraus stated
that a management plan for all on-site preserves was required before the issuance of any vegetation
permit.
Commissioner Newell determined through questioning of staff that traffic signalization would be required
at Pioneer Road and State Road 7 when it was warranted. Further discussion brought forth that with 430
units being reduced to 250 units, the traffic on Pioneer Road would be reduced significantly. Mr. Rogers
said that at this stage, staff was projecting what the traffic would be; a warrant, however, is based on
actual traffic. Staff's best guess right now, he said, was that a traffic signal would be warranted. Mr.
Rogers explained the petitioner would fund the cost of signal installation and that should signalization
not be warranted after 12 months of the final certificate of occupancy, the petitioner would be relieved
from this requirement. Commissioner Aaronson said he wanted the requirement to stay in effect for three
years, not 12 months. Mr. Rogers agreed to change the condition.
School District representative Mills assured Commissioner Newell that the project met the proposed school
concurrency ordinance.
Commissioner Newell emphasized that when a hedge is planted at a chain link fence with inside-out
irrigation, the irrigation does not reach the outside and the whole area dies. Principal Planner Flinchum
responded that inward-spraying heads on the buffer exterior should address any problems interfering with
spray patterns. Agent Boose noted that the petitioner had committed to full irrigation throughout the
buffer.
Mr. Boose assured Commissioner Newell that the southern gatehouse would be constructed in the first phase.
Based on Board direction concerning access, Land Development Director Rogers suggested adding a condition
that all units in the development would have access to Lyons Road when it was opened for traffic.
Therefore, the connecting east-west road between the project and Lyons Road would have to be constructed
at the same time. Mr. Rogers assured Mr. Boose that the petitioner would receive approvals without the
abutting pods being platted concurrently. Mr. Boose agreed to the condition.
MOTION to adopt a resolution approving the request of Petition
PDD/TDR for an Official Zoning Map
Amendment from AR and RE to Residential PUD. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner
Aaronson.
Mr. Flinchum said that Landscape Condition G needed to be revised for the western property line along
Westwoods PUD. The amendment would call for a 35-foot buffer with trees alternating on both sides of the
fence at 20-foot on-center spacing. He apologized for not mentioning earlier that a new code provision
requires that native vegetation be used in buffers.
AMENDED MOTION 1 to include the conditions as amended. The maker and seconder agreed.
The Board made their disclosures at this time.
Commissioner Newell initiated an extensive discussion concerning possible pedestrian-bicycle access along
Pioneer Road. The Board indicated their preference for an eight-foot bicycle path in Pioneer Road's
existing north right-of-way from State Road 7 to the project's west property line. Mr. Boose agreed with
Zoning Director Whiteford's comment that the bicycle path would be a continuation of an internal bicycle
path along the 80-foot rights-of-way throughout the project.
AMENDED MOTION 2 to include the bicycle path condition. The maker and seconder agreed. Upon call for a
vote, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners McCarty and Marcus absent.
MOTION to adopt a resolution approving the request of Petition
PDD/TDR97-121 for a TDR for 66 units and
designate PDD97-121 as the receiving area. Motion by Commissioner Roberts, seconded by Commissioner
Aaronson, and carried 4-1. Commissioner Masilotti opposed. Commissioners McCarty and Marcus absent.

USE OF PREPAID IMPACT FEES ON STATE ROAD 7 CORRIDOR. DISCUSSED 6-29-2000
Commissioner Masilotti remarked that the Board had recently discussed the prepayment of impact fees on the
State Road 7 corridor, which would dedicate those funds to the improvements for which they are paying. He
said he would like to discuss the matter further so as to be able to verify that the moneys being prepaid
by developers along State Road 7 are allocated for State Road 7. He noted that the Board had never
officially adopted that position.
(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Aaronson left the meeting.)
County Engineer Webb said the issue would be scheduled for Board consideration on, probably, the July 25,
2000, Regular Agenda.

PROPOSED WORKSHOP ON TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS
(TDR). DISCUSSED 6-29-2000
Commissioner Newell cited the TDR units that had been retired with the $125 million bond issue and
proposed scheduling a workshop to discuss again established TDRs that are being transferred. He suggested
that the Board needed to develop different ways to try to encourage more preservation of land.
Zoning Director Whiteford remarked that an appropriate time to discuss the matter might be at the
presentation of the annual TDR report in August 2000.
