(MONITORING)

Planner Helen LaValley said that at time of publication, staff had received two letters in support of the request and one letter in opposition, with no comment.

Robert E. Basehart, agent, objected to two condition changes made after the Zoning Commission hearing and said he believed that they had now been brought to resolution. He invited Zoning Director Whiteford to introduce the conditions.

Mr. Whiteford directed the board's attention to conditions dealing with the type of roof canopy allowed. The conditions are as follows:

Current Condition C.5:

Gas station canopies shall be limited to a maximum of twenty-five (25) feet in height, including air conditioning and mechanical equipment and satellite dishes, measured from finished grade to the highest point. No flat roof shall be permitted. The clearance of the canopy shall be a maximum of sixteen (16) feet, measured from finished grade to the underside of the canopy or attached outdoor fixtures. (BLDG PERMIT: BLDG - Zoning)

Mr. Whiteford said that in accordance with the addition, Condition C.6 would be to be added.

Current Condition C.6:

The roof pitch, color, and building materials for the gasoline canopy shall be consistent with the convenience store. (BLDG PERMIT: BLDG - Zoning)

Mr. Whiteford amended the condition as follows:

The roof pitch, color, and building materials for the gasoline canopy shall be consistent with the convenience store. (BLDG PERMIT: BLDG - Zoning)

Mr. Basehart agreed to the modified conditions.

Commissioner Newell commented that loitering was a problem at the corner of Lake Worth and Kirk roads and asked for a condition prohibiting exterior pay telephones. In an interchange with the agent, Mr. Newell learned that loitering would be discouraged in the rear retention area by a decorative fence enclosing the entire area and by policing by the store operator, by no outside seating, and by a minimum of shade-creating overhangs.

Mr. Newell objected to the Dumpster location at the front of the store and learned why it could not be located in the rear. Mr. Basehart offered to accept a requirement that the Dumpster's gate be spring-loaded to ensure that it stayed closed. Mr. Whiteford proposed making sure the Dumpster is blocked from view.

Mr. Newell observed that the Speedway sign graphic on the plan looked much higher than the condition-required 10 feet. Planner LaValley agreed and said the agent had been told that that was not acceptable.

Mr. Newell questioned whether the sign face of the 100-square-foot, 10-foot-high monument sign was inclusive of the canopy Speedway sign. Upon learning that it was not, he said that something had to come off. Mr. Whiteford responded that staff would write a wall signage restriction condition. Mr. Newell explained to his colleagues that petitioners were circumventing monument sign restrictions by putting signs on the building face. Mr. Basehart said that the petitioner had already agreed to no signage on the building itself, only small signs on two sides of the canopy.

(MONITORING)

Planner Michael C. Owens brought out the following points in his presentation:

The change in land use from LR-2 to CH-O was proposed in order to develop medical offices and an ambulatory surgicenter complex.

The subject site is part of a larger parcel that was used as a nursery and is located in an area that is mostly vacant. To the east of the site is the Stonehaven planned unit development and south of it lies the Minto property. The uses south of the subject site are the rest of the former nursery, a nonconforming commercial use; an excavation site; vacant property; and the Wellington Regional Hospital.

There was one recent land use amendment application just north of the subject site, known as the Ching property, which requested a change from residential to office. The Planning Division and the Land Use Advisory Board (LUAB) had recommended denial of the application, primarily because the commercial use was isolated, being surrounded by land designated for future residential use, and because of concerns regarding strip commercial development. The Board of County Commissioners also denied the request. Since the public hearing, the Village of Wellington has annexed the property and is in the process of changing the land use designation to one that supports commercial and medical offices.

Regarding the subject site, although there may be need for the proposed use in the future, Planning staff is recommending denial for primarily two reasons:

There is a great deal of development interest along the State Road 7 corridor, so much so that the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) called for a study to assess the land uses. The DCA was primarily concerned with the potential for excessive commercial development in the area. As a result, the Palms West Corridor Study was undertaken by the Villages of Wellington and Royal Palm Beach and the City of Greenacres.

The study recommends, first, office and other nonresidential uses along the corridor, and, second, various types of access management techniques to ease traffic congestion, especially since higher-intensity uses are proposed for the area.

Approval of the application under review is premature at this time, since none of the municipalities has formally accepted or adopted the results of the study nor has the county had the opportunity to review the study and its potential impacts on State Road 7. This is especially critical given the fact that the study acknowledges that State Road 7 south of Forest Hill Boulevard will fail even without the traffic from the additional office and commercial development recommended by the study unless major capital investments are provided for roadway expansion in the area. Therefore, further intensification of the land uses along this roadway should not be approved until the county has fully considered the impacts along the State Road 7 corridor. In addition, even though there is concurrency for this project, any small commercial request that follows may seem to have minimal impact on traffic. It is clear that the cumulative impact will only exacerbate traffic congestion and make access management techniques difficult.

The proposal is inconsistent with several Comprehensive Plan policies, namely,

- That which prohibits isolated, mid-block commercial development. The subject site is not located at or near a commercial node and, as such, would represent such a development;

- That which prohibits strip commercial development, which this proposal could foster; and

- That which prohibits approval of amendments that encourage piecemeal development. The subject site was carved out of a larger parcel; and, again, there is no overall commercial plan approved for this area.

In terms of public interest, staff has received no public input on this proposal. Staff is in receipt of a letter from the Village of Wellington stating that the proposed use is consistent with the village's comprehensive plan. No recommendation was made in support or opposition of the proposed use.

The LUAB recommended denial of the applicant's request by a 6-3 vote.

In conclusion, Mr. Owens said that the Planning staff is concerned that the request is premature and recommends denial.

In response to questions by the board, Mr. Owens stated that:

Between the proposed Wellington SurgiCenter site and the Wellington Regional Hospital's 30-acre expansion lay parcels designated Low Residential 2.

According to ordinance, once an excavation site can no longer be excavated, it may be used for residential use.

To promote access management, a side road could be built parallel to State Road 7 and would theoretically take right-of-way from the small 2.50-acre site. Engineering staff would have to discuss the feasibility of this and other access management techniques with the Village of Wellington to see how they would fit in with this and other corridor projects. Who would construct the side road would be part of that discussion.

Commissioner Masilotti reported that Wellington was preparing for an access road to the west of the subject site by convincing property owners along State Road 7 to donate land for right-of-way. A frontage road would have no impact whatever on the subject site, he said.

Commissioner Marcus maintained that Wellington had not reached a conclusion on the access road, an option in the corridor study. Approval of the subject application would limit the ability to construct that road. Mr. Owens agreed that that was part of the issue. Part of the study recommendations was the initiation of access management techniques to mitigate traffic problems; the county would need to evaluate those techniques. Approval of the application might not preclude such evaluative ability.

Mr. Masilotti told Ms. Marcus that a traffic study had not been part of the overall review of the State Road 7 corridor. Ms. Marcus remarked that that seemed to add more credibility to Mr. Owens's recommendation.

Robert E. Basehart, agent, made the following remarks in his presentation:

Wellington now thought that the access road should be located west of the frontage and be able to serve properties on both sides. Approval and development of this parcel would have no impact on the potential of that road.

The applicant had given thought to "what if a service road parallel to State Road 7 is necessary." The subject application was an extremely low intensity project with an extremely low floor-to-area ratio. It would be limited to a medical office-surgical center facility without any kind of retail activity.

The applicant had provided access points at the north and south ends along the frontage so that if a service road was desired, it could be accommodated and cross-accessed north and south.

The application does not constitute isolated, mid-block commercial development or encourage piecemeal development. While the Comprehensive Plan prohibits such development, neither it nor the Unified Land Development Code defines such development. Since there is no such definition, the phrase apparently can be interpreted in a number of ways.

Perusal of the shown aerial photograph will reveal that nearly the entire corridor from Southern Boulevard to Forest Hill Boulevard is committed.

In the Village of Royal Palm Beach at Southern Boulevard, a 178,000-square-foot Lowe's home improvement center with five outparcels opened in February; a Pollo Tropical restaurant had opened; and an Office Depot was under construction. Immediately south of that is what is known as the 14-acre Anthony commercial, approved by the village for retail development, and the Anthony residential, several hundred acres approved for up to 1,200 units. At the village's southern boundary along State Road 7 is the 9-acre 312 Clematis property, approved for office-commercial.

The Black Diamond property on State Road 7 has been annexed by the Village of Wellington and approved for 500 units.

Next to Black Diamond is one small, vacant, uncommitted parcel.

That is followed by a 20-acre piece annexed by Wellington recently and approved for office-commercial.

The following 441 Partners property is home to a high concentration of environmentally significant vegetation and will probably never be developed. It is included in the county's list of possible acquisition sites for environmental protection.

Next to be seen is the subject site.

Coming from the south can be seen the new regional mall under construction, followed by the Wellington Medical Center and expansion of the Wellington Regional Hospital campus; which in turn are followed by the active shell pit, or excavation site. Immediately south of the subject site is a pump and heavy equipment dealership, which has been there and will be there for many years.

Across the street from the subject site are the Minto development, Wellington Glen planned unit development, and Mt. Nego Cemetery.

There is not much land left to come in for development approvals.

The applicant has submitted a concurrency application, received a concurrency certificate, and is ready to begin construction. Should the applicant be required to wait until other properties apply for and receive commercial approvals and then get their concurrency, the applicant might never be able to move forward. Such "penalization" of the applicant might prove to be the death knell of this property.

The application is entirely consistent with the developing character of this strip of State Road 7, with Wellington's planned ultimate development, and with the recently completed corridor study.

None of the neighboring property owners has expressed any opposition to or concern about the proposed use.

Commissioner Masilotti asked how wide was the easement being contributed by the applicant across the front of the property and whether that was wide enough for a standard frontage road should one ever be put in that location. Mr. Basehart replied that the applicant had provided for a 26-foot travel island similar to that being proposed for properties developing along Southern Boulevard.

Mr. Masilotti expressed his opinion that perhaps the misunderstandings came out of failed communication. At the recent local public hearing on State Road 7, Wellington could have done a better job of communicating to county staff what is actually happening in the corridor, and the agent could have done a better job of communicating the individual concerns he expressed today. He then apologized to staff for the incomplete communication.

Mr. Masilotti said he believed that certain concerns of County Engineer George T. Webb had been incorporated in the corridor study. He reiterated that the study lacked a traffic analysis; this led him to believe, he said, that an analysis had been undertaken but when its numbers did not support local goals, it was left out of the study.

Mr. Masilotti said that he had been told that 30 feet would be needed for a frontage road and asked if the applicant would agree to provide a 30-foot public easement across the front of the subject site if needed. Mr. Basehart agreed. Engineering Assistant Jim Choban interjected that in that event, adjacent parking would become undesirable and would need to be transferred to another location on site. Mr. Basehart objected that that could be a problem; he pointed out that this area is in the Western C-51 Basin so that a high percentage of the site needs to be preserved for a retention area. The applicant would try to work around whatever the county thought, he said. Mr. Masilotti mentioned that he did not believe it would ever be used for frontage.

Zoning Director Whiteford commented that the applicant had not submitted a site plan because the petition was a straight rezoning. He said he did not know whether the access road would qualify as a service road but that it was more of a cross-access to the adjacent piece of property. He added that the frontage road requirement on the latest project did not have parking on the frontage road but that staff did encourage a bit of parking on the frontage road as a traffic-calming mechanism.

When Mr. Basehart promised to meet the code, Mr. Whiteford remarked that the code did not address service roads.

Commercial Aaronson offered his opinion that the prime issue was the need for additional medical services in the area.

Planning Director Frank M. Duke clarified a statement made by Mr. Basehart that the excavation site adjacent to the subject site was commercial. Under the Comprehensive Plan, he said, excavation is not allowed in a commercial land use.

MOTION to approve the request of Application 00-SCA 69 COM 1 for a future land use change from LR-2 to CH-O and adopt an ordinance affirming that action. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Masilotti.

PUBLIC COMMENT: None

Citing page 54 of the backup, Commissioner Marcus noted that the Zoning Division had concerns about the subject site being a legal lot of record and that the applicant is required to provide proof, or warranty deed, that the site is such a lot. Further, the site's property control number did not match the section, range, and township on the location maps. Mr. Whiteford explained that the property was sold without going through subdivision procedures and would be retroactively corrected in the event of board approval of the project. Mr. Duke added that staff had not realized the property did not meet the Comprehensive Plan requirement and that because of problems with the site, staff was now checking all new amendment applications to ensure the properties are legally established.

Commissioner Newell suggested that staff contact the real estate board because most property sales have real estate agents involved and ask the board to inform its members of these problems. The agents have no idea when they list and sell property that they could be creating an illegal subdivision.

Commissioner Masilotti added that it should also be found in the title search.

Assistant County Attorney Alterman advised that the code does not prohibit the sale of property that creates an illegal subdivision. What it does prohibit is issuance of a building permit for an improperly subdivided property. Ms. Alterman said that Mr. Basehart had obtained a letter from the other property owner that the county will file in the public records with the notice that the other property needs to be subdivided properly before any building permit can be issued.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-1. Commissioner Marcus opposed.

The board made their disclosures atthis time.

MOTION to approve the request of Petition Z/COZ2000-012 for a zoning map amendment from AR to CH-O with a conditional overlay zone. Motion by Commissioner Masilotti and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.

Planner Jim Bell said that based on the ordinance adoption, Condition D.1 would have to be revised to specify north and south access instead of only south access.

AMENDED MOTION to include the amended condition. The maker and seconder agreed.

Zoning Director Whiteford clarified that even though the petition was a straight rezoning, the conditional overlay zone allowed for the attachment of conditions of approval. He requested that because there was no site plan that there be a focal point at the entry and that the county's standard architectural control condition be attached. Mr. Basehart agreed.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-1. Commissioner Marcus opposed.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Charles J. Baumann commented that two days previously Richman Trust backed out of the project and that Breakers West needed time to consider this latest development. He said that he would prefer the petition not be postponed but that he saw no alternative.

Commissioner Masilotti said that Mr. Baumann's concern was well founded and proposed a deed restriction on the property requiring a 250-foot buffer on its south and east boundary lines. This would ensure that the eventual builder would invade neither the privacy of the residents of Breakers West nor the environmentally sensitive areas on the south. In lieu of such a setback, he said, the units per acre could be restricted to four.

Commissioner Roberts said that with rezoning approval, there would be assurance that while it was in place the conditions would be in place. An application for four units an acre did not need to come before the board. Consequently, there would be no opportunity to put any conditions on the project. Therefore, she said, approval today would offer Breakers West a certain protection. The rezoning would last for three years with a one-year extension. Should the property be sold within that time, the developer would have to accept the conditions or apply to the board for a change.

Assistant County Attorney Alterman confirmed that whatever was approved by the board today would run with the land and, hence, would be binding on anyone who purchases the land. An additional layer of protection, as proposed by Commissioner Masilotti, would be the current owner's filing of a deed restriction for the 250-foot buffer.

Commissioner McCarty agreed that the deed restriction would help bring a level of comfort to the community.

Mr. Bentz expressed agreement with the proposal. He clarified that Richman Trust had not definitely withdrawn from the property; they had said they may not go forward with it.

In accordance with the foregoing, Zoning Director Whiteford said that Condition C.1 ("The minimum setback for all residential buildings shall be two hundred and fifty [250] feet from the south and east property lines.") would be modified to reflect that the petitioner would be required to record a deed restriction which reflects this requirement prior to site plan certification by the Development Review Committee. Messrs. Bentz and Baumann indicated their agreement.

Commissioner Masilotti recommended that the deed restriction be recorded before transfer of the land. Ms. Alterman advised that the petitioner file the deed restriction within 30 days of today's approval so that any buyer is on notice of it. Commissioner Roberts proposed recordation within 30 to 60 days inasmuch as an emergency, such as illness, could happen. Zoning Director Whiteford suggested a date of November 1, 2000. Commissioner Masilotti agreed.

(MONITORING)

The following points emerged from Senior Planner Maryann Kwok's presentation:

The petitioner agreed to all conditions except for the width of the landscape buffer along the north property line.

The code required all Agricultural Reserve planned unit developments (AGR-PUDs) to have a perimeter 50-foot buffer. The petitioner wanted to reduce the buffer along the northern perimeter from 50 feet to 25 feet because of an existing 80-foot-wide Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD) canal and a proposed 140-foot-wide water management tract.

Staff recognized the substantial spatial separation between the northern AGR-PUD and adjacent lands but could not support a reduction because of the code requirement.

In order to obtain relief from the code requirement, the petitioner had two options:

Ask for a code amendment; or

Request board approval to apply for a variance.

The perimeter landscaping condition was being revised:

Existing Condition D.1:

Landscaping and buffering along all perimeter property lines shall be upgraded to include:

Ms. Kwok's revision:

"Condition D.1 should read: 'Landscape along the perimeter property line'."

Existing Condition D.1.b:

a four (4) to six (6) foot undulating berm, with an average height of five (5) feet, measured from the top of the curb;

Ms. Kwok's revision:

"Add the sentence on D.1.b; it should say 'southeast and west property line'."

Kevin Ratteree, agent, agreed to the conditions with the exception of the landscape buffer issue and noted that the project had received no public opposition. He described the petitioner's landscape buffer problem as follows:

The code detailed three criteria under any one of which a petitioner could take a buffer reduction on an AGR-PUD. Unfortunately, because of the code's technical language, the project's northern buffer was not eligible for that reduction. The petitioner believed, however, that the layout of the plan met the intent of the code.

Along the northern property line, because the petitioner is required, within an AGR-PUD, to put 50 percent of water along the perimeter of development, the petitioner had proposed to put a water management tract along the entire northern boundary that consisted of a 20-foot lake maintenance easement, a 150-foot water surface area, and then another 20-foot lake maintenance easement. The code then requires a 50-foot landscape buffer. Added to that is an existing LWDD canal. In total, even within a 50-foot buffer, the petitioner had an approximate 300 feet of property separation on the north.

The petitioner requested authority from the board to seek a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustments.

The code provision did not make sense in this situation because the petitioner could meet the code requirement by moving the lake to the southern property line. Then the identical residential units could be located 50 feet from the northern property line whereas now they are located 200 feet away.

When a petitioner has a water body, buffer, and canal separating units, he or she should be eligible to take a buffer width reduction. The buffer material would not change, only its height because of the 3:1 slope.

Commissioner Aaronson remarked that the code was antiquated and should be revised.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner McCarty left the meeting.)

MOTION to allow the petitioner to apply for a variance. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson, seconded by Commissioner Masilotti, and carried 6-0. Commissioner McCarty absent.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus left the meeting.)

MOTION to approve the request of Petition PDD2000-32 for a zoning map amendment from AGR to AGR/D and two zoning map amendments from AGR to AGR/P. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Newell.

Jean Mills, representing the Property and Real Estate Department of the School District, assured Commissioner Newell that the project would meet the new school concurrency if it were in effect today.

Zoning Director Whiteford corrected "Street Setback" on page 281 of the backup to "Side Corner Setback." He further confirmed that the front setback was 25 feet.

PUBLIC COMMENT: None

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioenrs McCarty and Marcus absent.

(MONITORING)

Senior Planner Carrie Rechenmacher said that at time of publication, staff had received no letters in support and five letters in opposition, and that, yesterday, staff received a 55-signature petition in opposition to the request.

(CLERK'S NOTE: There was no motion to receive and file the petition.)

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Marcus rejoined the meeting.)

Robert A. Bentz, agent, addressed the following conditions:

He revised Condition B.8:

Prior to the first Certificate of Occupancy the portion of Lake Susan Road which is not providing access to the PUD shall be abandoned, if approved by the Board of County Commissioners, and a gate provided 230 feet east from Beniost Farms Road prohibiting access to the east. The abandoned portion of the right of way shall be included as part of the residential PUD. (CO: DRC -Zoning)

He said he believed Condition K.6 ("A minimum of two [2] designated parking spaces shall be provided per unit.") conflicted with Condition K.7 ("A minimum of 10% of the parking spaces shall be covered."). He said the petitioner had no problem with providing two spaces per unit but was concerned about how to assign the spaces and who would get covered spaces.

Zoning Director Whiteford told Commissioner Roberts that staff had added Condition K.7 after the Zoning Commission hearing in order to upgrade the project. Ms. Roberts expressed regret that staff had not spoken to her about the change at that time since she would have told them it would give rise to problems. Ms. Roberts recommended that the condition be eliminated.

Commissioner Masilotti expressed concern that the buildings were too close together and that the residents would be "living on top of each other." Mr. Bentz said the original plans showed the development scattered throughout the project with smaller retention areas interlaced with the overall community. The current arrangement stemmed from a series of meetings with South Florida Water Management District staff who specified the current size as the absolute minimum size of the water retention area. Mr. Masilotti said that separating the buildings a bit more would make for better living conditions and suggested that the district be apprised of these concerns.

Commissioner Roberts commented on the amount of green space.

Commissioner Newell asked if the petition would meet the new school concurrency ordinance when adopted. Jean Mills, representing the Property and Real Estate Department of the School District, said that it would.

Mr. Newell said he did not understand why the School District always projected students from multifamily projects so extremely low. The district's projection for 130 two- and three-bedroom units was 32 students, whereas Mr. Newell said he would guarantee there would be between 200 and 300 children living in this project. The School Board knows the numbers have been off for many years, he said. Ms. Mills responded that the district was working on a revision of their multiplier and until the board adopted that, the district would have to use what had already been adopted.

Mr. Newell cautioned that there needed to be sufficient area for the children to get on and off the school buses.

Mr. Newell said the county had developed the school concurrency program using numbers generated by the School Board's existing policy, which are not correct, and that everyone knew it.

Commissioner Aaronson discussed how the county had no school concurrency.

MOTION to adopt a resolution approving the request of Petition PDD99-76(A) for an official zoning map amendment from AR to PUD subject to the conditions as amended. Motion by Commissioner Roberts and seconded by Commissioner Aaronson.

PUBLIC COMMENT: None

The board made their disclosures at this time.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 7-0.

5.F. TDR ANNUAL REPORT

5.F.34.

1999-00 TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS (TDR) ANNUAL REPORT. APPROVED STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS 8-24-2000

Staff and Land Use Advisory Board Recommendation for Price Per Unit:

The recommended price per TDR unit for Fiscal Year 2000-01 is $10,154. This price, based on the current pricing formula, accounts for the time value of money by using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI represents changes in prices of all goods and services purchased for consumption by urban households and is the most widely used measure of inflation.

Staff Recommendations for Improving the TDR Program:

1. Continue to seek municipal involvement in the TDR Program. The Planning Division will provide an update on ongoing BCC TDR directives following the Fall Intergovernmental Plan Amendment Review Committee (IPARC) meeting.

2. Reevaluate the TDR Program as part of the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report.

Senior Planner Aimee Craig Carlson requested board approval of the three recommendations given above.

Commissioner Aaronson praised the recommendations as "solid."

MOTION to approve the three staff recommendations. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.

Commissioner Lee observed that approval would increase the price per TDR unit.

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-0. Commissioner Masilotti absent.

MOTION to reconsider the motion approved at the August 22, 2000, board meeting approving preliminary reading and advertisement for public hearing on September 26, 2000, of Item 6.B.1., Locking Devices Required for Firearms Ordinance. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson, seconded by Commissioner Marcus, and carried 6-0. Commissioner Masilotti absent.

MOTION to approve on preliminary reading and advertise for public hearing on October 31, 2000, an ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Palm Beach County, Florida, to be entitled "Locking Devices Required for Firearms"; requiring locking devices on firearms stored in Palm Beach County; creating a public duty; providing penalties; providing for severability; providing for repeal of laws in conflict; and providing for an effective date. Motion by Commissioner Aaronson and seconded by Commissioner Roberts.

Issue a press release on the revised public hearing date;
Air the revised public hearing date on Channel 20; and
Inform Jeff Sanders of the new date. Mr. Sanders spoke on the ordinance at the August 22, 2000, meeting.

Commissioner Aaronson explained that his reason for proposing the new meeting date was that he would be absent from the September 26 meeting. He said that, as maker of the motion, he was very passionate about the ordinance and wanted to be present for discussion, if there was any.

No backup provided.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Aaronson left the meeting.)

7.B.36.

RETENTION LAKE POLICY. DISCUSSED WITH DIRECTION 8-24-2000

Commissioner Newell sought confirmation that the board had directed the establishment of a policy calling for the landscaping of dry retention lakes involved in the construction of county projects. He explained that the Engineering and Public Works Department did not believe that such lakes were required to be landscaped or beautified and fenced if put within visible areas and within neighborhoods. Mr. Newell warned that the retention lake at Lantana Road and Congress Avenue would become an eyesore very shortly.

Commissioner Marcus recalled that the board had discussed that fences be vinyl-covered and attractive.

The board discussed the following suggestions:

Forgo barbed wire in favor of a chain link fence;
Install an attractive six-foot vinyl-coated chain link fence next to the buffer, not to the right-of-way;
Plant cypress or other trees; and
Keep the green space visible.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner Masilotti rejoined the meeting.)

MOTION to correct the retention lake at Lantana Road and Congress Avenue and to provide for the beautification of retention lakes by providing vinyl-covered fences and areas or mechanisms for appropriate landscaping. Motion by Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner Marcus.

Commissioner Newell said he favored tree buffers as opposed to hedge buffers and requested that staff bring back a proposal.

Expressing a concern about incurring additional liability, Commissioner Roberts remarked on the difference between wet retention and dry retention and on the need for appropriate landscaping. Commissioner Newell observed that dry retention is partially wet.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner McCarty left the meeting.)

UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 5-0. Commissioners Aaronson and McCarty absent.

(CLERK'S NOTE: Commissioner McCarty rejoined the meeting.)

Commissioner McCarty proposed using aeration fountains in wet retention lakes that are near residential areas.

Commissioner Roberts requested that such projects costing more than a couple of thousand dollars be brought to the board for approval.

No backup provided.

7.B.37.

ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS FOR DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT. DISCUSSED 8-24-2000

Commissioner Newell recalled that a few months earlier, the board had directed staff to develop a policy on architectural standards for development, particularly commercial development. Such standards were a controversial issue with architects and developers, he said. Mr. Newell sought, and received, confirmation that his colleagues were very strong in their desire for such standards in the unincorporated area.

No backup provided.
