COA-351: Lloyd Hasner Office Building, Pursuant to a Development Proposal Presented by Lloyd Hasner for Lots 1 and 9, Block 59, OSSHD. Item Before the Board: The action requested of the Board is that of making a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Board on Conditional Use requests to establish mixed-use development containing more than one residential use on a -3- 08/05/98 parcel and to allow the owner the ability to lease the commercial space and the residential space to parties that are not proprietors or employees of the business. It was moved by Ms. Hurlburt, seconded by Mr. Keller and passed 5-0 to recommend that this is an appropriate and compatible project for the historic district, in both architectural design and proposed use. The Board has no objection to the fact that more than one residential unit is proposed for the second floor of the buildings. However the Board expressed concern with eliminating the requirements of LDR Section 4.4.24(C)(2) which states: • The residence is occupied by the owner, proprietor, or employee of a business enterprise conducted on the property; or • The business is owned, or operated, by the owner of the parcel; or ♦ The residence is occupied by the owner of the parcel. The Board felt that relaxing the above requirements might lead to absentee ownership and an all tenant building with lack of concern for adequate property maintenance. It was suggested that the office spaces and the residential units be united by condominium ownership so that some form of control is retained which would allow the project to conform to the above LDR Section.

Swinton Avenue (northwest corner of W. Atlantic Avenue and N. Swinton Avenue) ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is consideration of COA 8-353, which incorporates the following aspects associated with a Class II Site Plan Modification for Doc's Grill and Dairy, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(1)(b): • Site plan changes associated with a 234 sq. ft. addition; • Modification of a previously approved landscape plan; and, • Elevation changes. BACKGROUND On November 3, 1993, the Board approved COA 8-217 for Doc's Soft Serve which included awnings, a lattice fence, dumpster enclosure, and nostalgic sign. On November 24, 1993, a non-impacting site plan modification was approved for Doc's which included additional awnings, dumpster locations, and perimeter landscaping. At its meeting of May 18, 1994, the Board approved a minor site plan modification for construction of a 19-space parking lot on the west side of Doc's. Subsequently, the business was sold, and in 1997, the new property owner modified the landscaping along Swinton Avenue without HPB approval and was cited by the City. On September 30, 1997, the Board considered the amended landscape plan and tabled the plan until it was prepared by a landscape firm or landscape architect. The addition of two bathrooms and storage space (234 sq. ft.) in the rear of Doc's and the modified landscape plan is now before the Board for action. PROJECT ' DESCRIPTION. The development proposal will occur in two phases which include: Meeting Date: August 5, 1998 Agenda Item: III.A. Phase I: HPB Staff Report Doc's Grill and Dairy - Class II Site Plan Modification Page 2 • Demolish the rear outside fenced storage area, and construction of a 234 sq. ft. cbs addition which will include men and women's restrooms, cooler/freezer unit, and storage area (the additional restrooms are required in order to comply with HRS requirements); • Landscape improvements along the east side of the building adjacent N. Swinton Avenue; and, • Construction of new concrete walkways on the north side of the new addition and south side of the existing building. Phase II: • Improvements along the south side of the building adjacent W. Atlantic Avenue which include: * removal of existing curb stops and color coating existing asphalt (previously back out parking spaces); * removal of existing concrete edging around landscape areas; * removal of asphalt area at the southwest corner of the building and provision of additional landscaped area; and, * removal of asphalt and installation of brick pavers in existing walkway on east side of building. ANALYSIS SITE PLAN MODIFICATION -ADDITION/IMPROVEMENTS The site plan modification involves the construction of a 234 sq. ft. cbs addition to accommodate two bathrooms required by HRS. The restaurant currently has shared bathroom facilities which do not meet the current HRS requirements. The proposed addition will also provide area for a cooler/freezer and a small storage area. The addition will be cbs construction and painted to match the existing building. The modified landscape plan shows site plan improvements which include the addition of a walkway on the south side of the building, removal of asphalt and installation of pavers to an existing walkway on the east side of the building, removal of asphalt to accommodate additional landscape area, and removal of existing wheel stops on the building's south side. There is a lack of consistency between the site plan and landscape plan with respect to these improvements and provision of consistent plans is attached as a condition of approval. The existing 234 sq. ft. outside storage area is currently not considered restaurant use area. However, with the enclosure of this area it will be considered restaurant area and requires evaluation of concurrency with respect to traffic and solid waste. HPB Staff Report Doc's Grill and Dairy- Class II Site Plan Modification Page 3 Traffic: A traffic statement was submitted indicating the proposed use would generate a total of 41 Average Daily Trips (sit-down restaurant 205.36/1,000 sq. ft. with 15% pass-by trip rate percentage). The number of trips generated by this use is small and can be easily handled by the existing road network. Further, this facility is located within the City's TCEA (Traffic Concurrency Exemption Area) designation, which encompasses the CBD, OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District) and the West Atlantic Avenue Business Corridor. The TCEA exempts the above described areas from complying with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Solid Waste: Utilizing fast food restaurant generation rates trash generated each year by the proposed addition will be 20.8 pounds per square foot per year or 2.4 tons/yr. As the generation rates are based on overall square footage, the facility is noted as increasing solid waste, however, in reality the addition of new bathrooms (to replace existing) and storage area will result in no new trash generation. Other Items: Parking: Currently, the restaurant has a total of 23 parking spaces, including four spaces on the north side of the building and a 19 space parking area directly west. Per LDR Section 4.4.24(F)(1)(a), the subject restaurant is required to provide 6 parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area. The existing 2,160 building requires 12.96 or 13 spaces. With the addition, the total floor area for Doc's will be 2,394 sq. ft. (2,160 sq. ft. existing, 234 sq. ft. addition), and a total of 14.36 or 15 spaces will be required for the entire building. Based on the above, no additional parking is required with this proposal and the existing 23 parking spaces are more than adequate for restaurant and new addition. Dumpster: The existing dumpster at the northwest corner of the site needs to be repaired, and must be screened with hedging. In addition, the Strangler Fig adjacent the dumpster must be removed. Repair and screening of the dumpster with hedging, and removal of the Strangler Fig are attached as conditions of approval. LANDSCAPE PLAN MODIFICATION: The approved landscape plan which was originally installed on site has been modified without proper approval. The applicant is now seeking approval of a new landscape plan which utilizes some existing as well as new plant material. The approved plan utilized Royal Palms, Cocoplum hedge, Crinum Lilies, Wax Jasmine, Purple Queen, and Dwarf Pink Penta along the east side of the building. On the north side of the building the approved plan calls for a Cocoplum hedge. On the south side of the building the plan includes the installation of Royal Palm trees, Jasmine, and a Cocoplum hedge. HPB Staff Report Doc's Grill and Dairy - Class II Site Plan Modification Page 4 The modified landscape plan utilizes existing Royal Palms, Jasmine, and Crinum Lilies. New material includes additional Jasmine, Crinum Lilies, Liriope, Dwarf Oyster or Dwarf Tibouchina, Topiary, Variegated Trinette, and Podocarpus. The white rock is to be removed and replaced with mulch and shredded bark. Landscaping along the north side will remain the same. Along the south side, the modified landscape plan calls for existing Jasmine, relocated Topiary, Taiwanese Ixora, Mahogany trees, and removal of asphalt and installation of sod. The City Horticulturist has reviewed the modified landscape plan and has no objection. ELEVATIONS: The 234 sq. ft. rear addition will be cbs construction, with the walls painted white and doors painted blue to match the existing building. ASSESSMENT AND 'CONCLUSIONS The development proposal involves the construction of a 234 sq. ft. rear addition to the restaurant, installation of walkways, and modifications to the approved landscape plan. The new area is being built to provide additional restrooms, which will comply with HRS requirements. The modified landscape plan will correct the installation of landscape materials without proper approval. With this project there will be no negative impacts with respect to traffic, solid waste, and parking. ALTERNATIVE ,ACTIONS;, A. Continue with direction and concurrence. B.

Attachments: ❑ Site Plan Modification ❑ Approved Landscape Plans ❑ Proposed Landscape Plan Modification STAFF REPORT HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD Project Name: COA-327-Continuation Project Location: 14 S. Swinton Avenue ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD I The action requested of the Board is that of approval for the construction of a small front entrance porch for the cottage to the south of the Rectory Building. PROJECT DESCRIPTION At the meeting of July 1, 1998 the applicant stated that a small front entry porch was proposed for the cottage. The purpose of the porch is to provide protection from the rain when entering the front door. The Board felt that the addition of a porch would be appropriate but requested the applicant to present elevations and details for review. The porch roof is composed of an opposing gable supported by plain wood columns on brick piers. The porch roof is to be copper to match that approved for the cottage. The exposed gable end is finished with decorative wood shingles to match those on the adjoining Rectory building. STAFF COMMENTS It may be more appropriate to use matching clapboard for the exposed gable end as opposed to the wood shingles. While the shingles are used on the Rectory building, introducing a new siding element to the cottage, in such a small quantity, may not be compatible with the existing clapboard. ALTERNATIVE ACTION 1. Deny with reasons stated. 2. Continue with direction. 3. Approve as presented. I RECOMMENDED ACTION I Based upon positive findings to LDR Section 4.5.1 (E), approve the entrance porch as presented. file/u/www/coa327s4 Meeting Date:August 5,1998 Agenda Item: III-B .Y . . . STAFF REPORT HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD Project Name: COA-354 Project Location: 35 S.W. 1st Avenue, Lots 9 and 10 of Block 61 ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action requested of the Board is that of approval for the relocation and plot plan of a contributing single family residence. The building is being moved from Lot 9, Block 61 (35 S.W. 1st Avenue) in the Old School Square Historic District to parts of Lots 3 and 4 of Block 35 (the west side of N.W. 4th Avenue) in the West Settlers Historic District; and Approval of the pre-construction application associated with the tax abatement program for eligible historic properties. BACKGROUND At the March 18, 1998 meeting the Board approved a site plan for the Sundy Estates which included using Lots 9 and 10 of Block 61 for required parking for the project. A contributing single family residence is located on each lot. One of the conditions of approval was that a COA be submitted for the Board's review before relocation or demolition of the two contributing structures occurred. On May 6, 1998 the Board approved the relocation or demolition of both houses but required a 6 month delay if demolition of either house was necessary. The CRA has purchased the subject property and will be responsible for its relocation. A buyer has been found and the property will be sold to the new owner as soon as the relocation is completed. Built in 1946, the single family residence at 35 S.W. 1st Avenue will be moved on August 15, 1998 to its new location on N.W. 4th Avenue in the West Settlers Historic District. Because the house is contributing and will be relocated to another historic district it is eligible for the tax abatement program associated with the rehabilitation of historic properties. As the owner of record, the CRA is filing the pre-construction application for the tax abatement program. The house was not included in the contributing inventory of the West Settlers Historic District, therefore, it will be necessary to list the house on the Local Register as an addition to the district, however this is a formality and can be done at a later date. Meeting Date: August 5, 1998 Agenda Item: II-C J HPB Staff Report COA-334-Continuation Page 2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposal consists of the following: • Moving the house. • Placing it on a new foundation. • Repairing any damage incurred during the move. • Repair windows and screens. • Clean and repaint. • Refinish interior wood floors. • Install a driveway and associated landscaping. STAFF COMMENTS The location of the house on the lot conforms to all of the setback regulations. The exterior brick will remain as existing and the trim will remain white. The driveway will be asphalt. The landscaping will be designed to be consistent with the requirements for single family residences ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Deny with reasons stated. 2. Approve as presented. 3. Approve with the condition that the landscape plans may be approved by the City Horticulturist, without further Board review. RECOMMENDATION 1. Based on positive findings to Section 4.5.1(E), approve COA 354 as presented with the condition that the landscape plans may be approved by the City Horticulturist, without further Board review. file/u/coa-354sr STAFF REPORT HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD Project Name: COA-292 Continuation Project Location: 225 Royal Court I ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD , I The action requested of the Board is that of approval for a front porch screen enclosure. BACKGROUND At the meeting of November 19, 1997 the Board reviewed a proposal for a front porch screen enclosure to be constructed of factory finished white aluminum. Based upon the fact that the Design Guidelines, New Construction, state that artificial and manufactured materials are obtrusive and inappropriate in historic districts the Board determined that it would be inappropriate to approve aluminum construction for the front porch. Additionally, two members questioned the appropriateness of screening the porch regardless of the material used, however, the consensus was that the porch could be approved if wood were used for its construction. The Board voted to continue this item to allow the applicant to return with revised plans showing the porch supports and door constructed of wood with the wood porch railing continued on either side of the door. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is proposing to screen the 6' x 14' front porch with charcoal gray screening; the railing, posts and door will be constructed of wood and painted white. The porch roof is supported at the north and south corners with c.b.s. columns approximately 9" x 9". A wood porch rail runs between the columns and the front wall on the north and south; and runs approximately half way across the south portion of the front of the porch, it is anchored by a 4" X 4" wood post to the north. This post will be relocated further to the north to serve as the left support for the screen door. The screen door will be aligned with the front door of the house, and a matching 4 x 4 post will serve as the right door support. A railing to match the existing will be installed on either side of the front door. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Meeting Date:August 5, 1998 Agenda Item: III-D HPB Staff Report COA-292 Continuation- Page 2 1. Deny, with reasons stated. 2. Approve as presented. RECOMMENDATION Based on positive findings to the Design Guidelines, New Construction, approve the front porch screen enclosure as presented. file/u/WW/coa292s3 . s STAFF REPORT HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD Project Name: COA 321, Frank Fender, Office/Residential Project Location: 131 N.W. 1st Avenue ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action requested of the Board is that of approval for appropriate hand railings for the front entrance steps. BACKGROUND The subject property is a contributing single family residence which is in the process of being converted from residential to mixed use residential/office. The site plan, including a handicapped ramp and parking lot was approved by the Board on September 3, 1997. When this development was reviewed by the Fire Department for compliance to the Life Safety Code it was disapproved until railings are installed on either side of the front steps. Despite the fact that the stair railing will alter the appearance of the historic property, and the fact that a handicapped ramp will be installed in the rear, there is no relief from this requirement which is referred to as the "1994 Addition to the Life Safety Code". STAFF COMMENTS The railings must be installed on the inside of the stair wall, due to the width of the cap on top of the wall. It is not necessary to run railings from the columns to the front walls, unless it is desired for aesthetic reasons. I feel that the only appropriate railings would be metal to give the appearance of wrought iron. The standard vertical wood railing, which would be the lest expensive solution, will be incompatible to the entrance. I have selected photos of several metal railings which would be appropriate and the applicant will welcome any additional suggestions the Board may have. It will be helpful if the design can be determined at this meeting as the railings need to be installed as soon as possible. RECOMMENDATION Meeting Date: August 5, 1998 Agenda Item: III-E , t . W HPB Staff Report COA-321-Continuation Page 2 Approve the stair railings at this meeting so that they may be installed in a timely manner. file/u/www/coa321 s2 STAFF REPORT HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD Project Name: COA-351 Lloyd Hasner Office Building Project Location: South Side of NW 2nd Street, Between Swinton Avenue and NW 1st Avenue ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action requested of the Board is that of a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Board on Conditional Use requests to establish a mixed-use development containing more than one residential use on a parcel and to allow the owner the ability to lease the commercial space and the residential space to parties that are not proprietors or employees of the business for a project known as the Lloyd Hasner Office Building. The subject properties are located on the south side of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (NW 2nd Street), between Swinton Avenue and NW 1st Avenue. BACKGROUND The subject property is vacant and involves Lots 1 and 9, Block 59, Town of Linton Plat and contains .23 acres. The properties are located within the OSS Historic District and are zoned OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District). The lots are separated by an existing paved north/south alley. At its meeting of December 3, 19.97, the Historic Preservation Board approved a project known as Courtyard Villas, a duplex development that was to be situated on Lot 1 (SE corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and NW 1st Avenue). That project was never built, and a new developer has purchased the referenced properties and wishes to construct a mixed-use development on each of the lots. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development proposal involves the construction of a mixed-use development on each lot (mirror image) consisting of the following: • 2,800 sq.ft. office space on the first floor; • 2 residential units on the second floor consisting of 1,300 sq.ft. each (total 2,600 sq.ft.); and • Construction of 9 parking spaces and associated landscaping. Meeting Date: August 5, 1998 Agenda Item: IV-A HPB Staff Report COA-351-Llyod Hasner Office Building Page 2 Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.25(C)(2) within the OSSHAD zone district, on a parcel that has as its principal use a non-residential use, there may be one single family residence, either within a separate structure or within a structure housing a non-residential use, provided that one of the situations exists: a) The residence is occupied by the owner, proprietor, or employee of a business enterprise conducted on the property; or, b) The business is owned, or operated, by the owner of the parcel; or, c) The residence is occupied by the owner of the parcel. The development proposal includes two separate request to establish the following Conditional Uses with the OSSHAD: • Section 4.4.25(D)(1) The existence of more than one residential use on the parcel upon which there is mixed use (residential and non-residential usage). More than one residential unit may be located within a mixed use structure. • Section 4.4.25(D)(2) On a parcel that has as its principal use a non-residential use, residential use which occurs other than as provided for in Subsection (C)(2). The owner is requesting conditional use approval to allow two residential units on the second floors of the structures [REF: 4.4.24(D)(1)] located on Lots 1 and 9. The owner is requesting Conditional Use approval under subsection (D)(2) to have the flexibility to lease and or sell the mixed use developments in the future to someone other than as provided for in Subsection (C)(2) for both the developments. On Lot 1, it is the owner's intent to conduct his business (Castle Florida Building Corporation) in a portion of the office space, and one of the partners will occupy one of the residential units. This situation meets the intent of the code under subsection (C)(2). However, the structure located on Lot 9 is a stand alone development and does not meet the intent of LDR Section 4.4.25(C)(2), therefore Section 4.4.25(D)(2) applies. REVIEW BY OTHERS At its meeting of July 1, 1998, the Historic Preservation Board held a pre-application meeting with the applicant and was in support of the development proposal. RECOMMENDATION HPB Staff Report COA-351-Llyod Hasner Office Building Page 3 By motion, recommend to the Planning and Zoning Board approval of the Conditional Use requests for the Lloyd Hasner Office Building, to allow more than one residential unit on the same parcel as a mixed use development and within the same structure; and to allow on a parcel that has as its principal use a non-residential use, residential use which occurs other than as provided for in Subsection (C)(2).

COA-351: Lloyd Hasner Office Building, Pursuant to a Development Proposal Presented by Lloyd Hasner for Lots 1 and 9, Block 59, OSSHD. Item Before the Board: The action requested of the Board is that of making a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Board on Conditional Use requests to establish mixed-use development containing more than one residential use on a -3- 08/05/98 parcel and to allow the owner the ability to lease the commercial space and the residential space to parties that are not proprietors or employees of the business. It was moved by Ms. Hurlburt, seconded by Mr. Keller and passed 5-0 to recommend that this is an appropriate and compatible project for the historic district, in both architectural design and proposed use. The Board has no objection to the fact that more than one residential unit is proposed for the second floor of the buildings. However the Board expressed concern with eliminating the requirements of LDR Section 4.4.24(C)(2) which states: • The residence is occupied by the owner, proprietor, or employee of a business enterprise conducted on the property; or ♦ The business is owned, or operated, by the owner of the parcel; or • The residence is occupied by the owner of the parcel. The Board felt that relaxing the above requirements might lead to absentee ownership and an all tenant building with lack of concern for adequate property maintenance. It was suggested that the office spaces and the residential units be united by condominium ownership so that some form of control is retained which would allow the project to conform to the above LDR Section.
