ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The item before the Board is consideration of COA 8-352, which incorporates the following aspects of the development proposal for Dental Invisions, Inc. (244-246 Dixie Boulevard): ❑ Class IV Site Plan Modification ❑ Landscape Plan ❑ Waiver to the following requirement: LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(d) - A request to reduce the requirement to provide a 5' landscape strip on the north and south property lines, adjacent the back-out parking area, to 2.5'. The subject property is located on the east side of Dixie Boulevard, approximately 300 feet south of George Bush Boulevard. BACKGROUND The subject property consists of Lot 6, Block 10, within the Del-Ida Park Subdivision, and contains approximately 0.16 acre. The site is developed with a 1,773 sq. ft. duplex constructed in 1969 with four back-out parking spaces onto Dixie Boulevard and a shed in the rear (east side) of the property. A chain link fence runs along a portion of the south property line and along the entire length of the east property line. A request to establish a dental laboratory on the property has been submitted and is now before the Board for action. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The development proposal involves the conversion of one of the duplex units (west/front unit) to a dental laboratory, and includes the following improvements: ❑ Redesign of the existing parking area to provide three parking spaces (two regular and one handicap); and, ❑ Installation of associated landscaping and refuse container areas. No improvements to the building elevations are proposed. SITE PLAN MODIFICATION ANALYSIS COMPLIANCE WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be addressed by the body taking final action on the site and development application/request. HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 2 Parking Requirement Per LDR Section 4.4.17(G)(2), within the RO zone district, parking required for business and professional offices must provide one space per 300 sq. ft. However, this requirement may be reduced to 1 space per 400 sq. ft., or at least by one parking space when there is a mix of residential and office use in the same structure. With the conversion of one of the duplex units into a dental lab, the 1,733 sq.ft. structure (office & residential) requires a total of five spaces. The proposed site plan indicates three on-site spaces, including two regular spaces and one handicap space. The two regular spaces are separated from the handicap accessible space by an existing 7' wide landscape strip. The landscape strip was required between the 4 duplex parking spaces, as curb-cuts for duplexes could not exceed 24'. The existing landscape strip cannot be eliminated and thus the 5 required spaces cannot be accommodated on-site. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(4), in instances where uses do not have sufficient space to accommodate customer and employee parking demands, parking requirements may be provided off-site when the off-site parking area is within 300' measured along an acceptable pedestrian route; approval of such off-site parking is granted by the body which has approval authority of the related site and development plan (HPB); and, an agreement providing an easement for such use is prepared pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.9(E)(5) and is recorded prior to certification of the site and development plan. The applicant has proposed to enter into an agreement with property owner to the north (medical office building) to utilize two parking spaces on the south side of the office development, abutting the subject property. The applicant has indicated that the owner of the office building directly north is willing to enter into a parking agreement to allow use of the parking lot to accommodate the two remaining spaces required. A letter from the property owner of the medical office building has been submitted granting permission for the applicant to utilize two parking spaces. Provision of an executed off site parking agreement is attached as a condition of approval. Front Yard Parking Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.17(H)(3), within the RO zoning district all parking for nonresidential principal uses and conditional uses shall be located in the side or rear yard or adjacent to a rear alley. No parking shall be located in the area between any street and the structure (building). Where there are existing buildings, administrative relief may be sought from this requirement provided it is determined that compliance with these provisions is not feasible and that the residential character of the area will be maintained and that such parking area shall be substantially screened from off- premises view by, at least, a four-foot high hedge. The back-out parking on site is an existing situation, and the development proposal retains this parking arrangement. Given the size of the lot and the location of the existing building it is not possible to provide the parking anywhere else on the lot. Existing hedges adjacent the north and south property lines screen the parking area HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 3 from adjacent properties. Based upon the above, it is appropriate to allow the back- out parking to remain in the front yard. Building Setbacks Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K) (Development Matrix), the required building setbacks for the RO zone district are: 25' front; 15' side (interior); and 25' rear. The existing duplex is setback only 11.5' from the north property line and 10' from the south property line. Also, the shed is only setback 10' from the south property line and 9' from the east (rear) property line. These existing nonconforming situations will not be impacted by the development proposal. Except for the above situations, the building setback requirements have been complied with throughout the site. Open Space Pursuant to LDR Section 4.3.4(K) (Development Matrix), within the RO zone district, 25% non-vehicular open space is required. The proposed project provides for 57.3% open space, which exceeds the requirement. Site Lighting Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.8, lighting is required for new development proposals. There is a porch light in the front of the structure, and on the north side of the building there is a light fixture attached to the exterior wall. In addition, there are street lights along Dixie Boulevard. Roll Out Cart The site plan indicates the location of the proposed roll out carts, however the landscape plan shows air conditioning units at this location. Revision of the plans to reflect consistency with respect to location of roll out carts is attached as condition of approval. The site plan indicates a fence is proposed to screen the roll out carts. Provision of details indicating material, and height of fence is attached as a condition of approval. Site Plan Technical Items The following are items that do not require specific action of the Board, however, the items must be addressed with the submittal of revised plans. 1. Provide off-site parking agreement between applicant, property owner to the north, and City. The off-site parking agreement must be executed prior to issuance of building permit. 2. Revise site and landscape plans to reflect consistency with respect to location of roll out cart. Provide details with respect to material and height of fence to screen roll out carts. HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 4 3. That a walkway be provided through the hedge on the north side of the property, adjacent to the two parking spaces that will be utilized by this project. 4. State of Florida accessibility requirements must be met for all areas of the project. 5. Palm Beach County impact fees must be paid prior to issuance of building permit. 6. IPP compliance must be achieved prior to issuance of building permit. LANDSCAPE PLAN ANALYSIS Along the north property line are existing Mahogany, Pleomele, and Royal Poinciana trees with Mahogany trees and Swordfern hedges proposed. An existing Ficus hedge is located adjacent the north property line. Along the south property line are existing Mahogany and Sabal Palm trees. Also, four Wax Myrtle trees and Simpson Stopper hedges are proposed. The west (front) and north sides of the building will be landscaped by an existing Lychee Nut Tree, relocated Queen Palms, Cardboard Plant, Orange Jasmine, Swordfern, Croton, Keys Lily, and Cocoplum hedging. The existing landscape strip in the middle of the parking area will be improved with a Silver Buttonwood tree and Keys Lily. In conjunction with this proposal, a waiver has been requested to reduce the width of the landscape strip along the north and south sides of the parking area, which is further discussed below. WAIVER ANALYSIS: Pursuant to LDR Section 4.6.16(H)(3)(d), a 5' wide landscape strip is required between off- street parking areas or other vehicular use areas and abutting properties. The request is to allow 2.5' wide landscape strips on the north and south sides of the parking area, between the proposed parking area and the abutting property. Required Findings: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.7(B)(5), prior to granting a waiver, the approving body shall make a finding that the granting of the waiver: (a) Shall not adversely affect the neighboring area; (b) Shall not significantly diminish the provision of public facilities; (c) Shall not create an unsafe situation; or, (d) Does not result in the grant of a special privilege in that the same waiver would be granted under similar circumstances on other property for another applicant or owner. The waiver will only apply to the length of the parking spaces (18') where a 2.5' wide landscape strip currently exists. In order to provide the required 5' wide landscape strip, the 7' wide landscape strip separating the back-out spaces must be reduced to 2' in width, which would adversely impact the streetscape. Along the north property HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 5 line there is a 5' wide landscape strip containing hedges and trees, which will result in an overall width of 7.5' of landscape area between parking areas. Taking the same rational on the south property line, an overall landscape area of 5' will be provided. The waiver request will not adversely affect the neighboring area, diminish the provision of public facilities, nor create an unsafe situation. Granting the waiver will not result in a special privilege, as the same request would be granted under similar circumstances. Based upon the above, a waiver is recommended. Landscape Plan Technical Items: The following Landscape Plan items do not require specific action by the Board, however, revised plans addressing the items must be submitted prior to building permit submission. 1. The paved apron in the right-of-way is the combined width of the handicap space and the maneuvering area. The asphalt should be removed in the right-of-way, adjacent to the maneuvering area, and the area should be converted into green space (sod). This will discourage people from driving onto the maneuvering area. 2. Per 4.6.16(H)(3)(d) where any commercial area abuts property in residential use, one (1) tree shall be planted every twenty-five (25) feet to form a solid tree line. This situation occurs along the south and east sides of the site. An additional tree is needed in the southeast corner of the site to meet this requirement. 3. The applicant shall provide the interior green space calculation. It is not exactly the same as what is required. 4. Per 4.6.16(E)(5) tree species shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet in overall height at the time of planting, with a minimum of four (4) feet of single straight trunk with six (6) feet of clear trunk, and a six (6) foot spread of canopy. Some of the proposed trees will not meet this requirement. 5. The applicant shall identify the symbol 'RK' of which 20 plants are proposed. REQUIRED FINDINGS Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(G)(1)(d)(Class IV), a Class IV modification is a modification to a site plan which represents either a significant change in the intensity of use or significant changes which affect the spatial relationship among improvements on the land, requiring full review of Performance Standards found in Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. The proposal involves a significant change in use which requires full review of the Performance Standards Found in Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. Pursuant to Section 3.1.1 (Required Findings), prior to the approval of development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the application, written materials submitted by the applicant, the staff report, or HPB Staff Report Dental lnvisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 6 minutes. Findings shall be made by the body which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These findings relate to consistency with the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan Consistency, and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations. Section 3.1.1(A) - Future Land Use Map The subject property has a Transitional Future Land Use Map designation and a RO (Residential Office) zoning designation. The RO zoning district is consistent with the Transitional Future Land Use Map designation. Pursuant to Section 4.4.17(B)(3), within the RO zone district, business and professional offices are allowed as a permitted use. Although a "dental lab" is not specifically listed as a permitted use in the RO zone district, on August 19, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Board made a determination that a "dental lab" is similar to other "business and professional offices" within the RO zone district. Pursuant to LDR Section 4.4.17(H)(2), a building or structure in the RO zoning district may contain either a residential use, an office use, or a mix of uses. Based upon the above, a positive finding can be made with respect to the Future Land Use Map. Section 3.1.1 (B) - Concurrency As described in Appendix A, a positive finding of concurrency can be made as it relates to water, sewer, traffic, drainage, parks and recreation, open space, and solid waste. Section 3.1.1 (C) - Consistency (Standards for Site Plan Actions) As described in Appendix B, a positive finding of consistency can be made as it relates to Standards for Site Plan Actions. Section 3.1.1 (D) - Compliance with the Land Development Regulations As described under the Site Plan Analysis of this report, a positive finding of compliance with the LDRs can be made, provided the conditions of approval are addressed. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted no applicable objectives or policies were found. Section 2.4.5(F)(5) (Site Plan Findings) Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(F)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Chapter Three, the approving body must make a finding that development of the property pursuant to the site plan will be compatible and harmonious with the adjacent and nearby properties and the City as a whole, so as not to cause substantial depreciation of property values. HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 7 The residence is located within the RO zoning district, which allows a mix of residential and office uses. To the east and west are vacant lots; to the south is a residence; and to the north is an office building. An existing Ficus hedge is located adjacent the north property line. In addition, installation of additional landscaping is proposed along the north, west, and south property lines. Given the property's location in the RO zoning district and existing and proposed landscaping the proposed conversion should have no negative impacts on adjacent properties. REVIEW BY OTHERS Community Redevelopment Agency The Community Redevelopment Agency Board will review this item at their meting of September 10, 1998. The CRA Board's recommended will be presented at the HPB meeting Neighborhood Notice Special Notice was provided to the Del-Ida Park Homeowner's Association. Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the HPB meeting. ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION The proposed use is consistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Chapter 3 of the Land Development Regulations. The RO zone district permits a mix of office and residential uses in a single district. The partial conversion of the duplex to a dental lab is permitted and allows a use consistent with the purpose of the RO zone district. The structure will retain its residential character, and the site will be improved with installation of landscape materials. An off-site parking agreement must be executed to accommodate the two off-site parking spaces, prior to issuance of a building permit. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1. Continue with direction. 2. Approve COA 8-352 and the associated site plan modification and landscape plan for Dental Invisions subject to conditions. 3. Deny COA 8-352 and the associated site plan modification and landscape plan for Dental Invisions with the basis stated. HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 8 RECOMMENDED ACTION A. Waiver 1.

That revised plans be submitted addressing the Site Plan Technical Items of the Staff Report; and, 2. That prior to issuance of a building permit, an off-site parking agreement must be executed. C. Landscape Plan Approve COA-352 for the landscape plan for Dental Invisions based upon positive findings with respect to Section 4.6.16 subject to the following condition: 1. That revised plans be submitted addressing the Landscape Plan Technical Items of the Staff Report. Attachments: ❑ Appendix A ❑ Appendix B ❑ Site and Landscape Plans HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 9 APPENDIX A CONCURRENCY FINDINGS Pursuant to Section 3.1.1(B) Concurrency as defined pursuant to Objective B-2 of the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan must be met and a determination made that the public facility needs of the requested land use and/or development application will not exceed the ability of the City to fund and provide, or to require the provision of, needed capital improvements for the following areas: Water and Sewer: With respect to water and sewer service, the following is noted: ❑ Water service is provided to the site via a 2" water main located in the center of the block. ❑ Sewer service is provided to the site via an 8" sewer main which is located within Dixie Boulevard. ❑ Adequate fire suppression is provided to the site via a fire hydrant located at the northeast corner of George Bush Boulevard and N.E. 3rd Avenue, and at the northeast corner of Dixie Boulevard and N. Swinton Avenue. Pursuant to the City's Comprehensive Plan, treatment capacity is available at the City's Water Treatment Plant and the South Central County Waste Water Treatment Plant for the City at build-out. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made with respect to these level of service standards. Drainage: An engineering plan has been submitted indicating that drainage will be accommodated on-site via the construction of an exfiltration trench system and installation of swales. Traffic: Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.3(E)(2), a traffic statement is required for land use applications which generate 200 or less ADT, and the applicant has provided a traffic statement for this development proposal. The existing residential unit and proposed office conversion will generate 12 ADT. The number of trips generated by this use is small and can be handled by the existing road network. Parks and Open Space: Park dedication requirements do not apply for nonresidential uses. Thus, the proposed development will not have an impact with respect to this level of service standard. Solid Waste: The existing duplex generates 1.6 tons per year (.8 ton per unit). There are no solid waste generation rates for dental laboratories. Using the solid waste generation rate for a medical office (4.1 lbs./sq.ft./yr.), the new dental lab (816 sq. ft.) will generate 1.7 tons per year. With the conversion there will be a net increase of solid waste of .1 ton which can be easily accommodated by the existing facilities. Thus, there will be no significant impacts with respect to level of service standards. HPB Staff Report Dental Invisions, Inc. -Site Plan and COA Page 10 APPENDIX B STANDARDS FOR SITE PLAN ACTIONS A.

PRESERVATION BOARD Project Name: COA-356 Associated with the Sundy Inn Project Location: 115 S.W. 1st Avenue ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD The action requested of the Board is that of approval for demolition of a contributing building located on the Sundy Inn property. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 4-unit apartment building, constructed in 1925 by the Sundy family. It is a two-story structure of wood frame construction clad in horizontal wood clapboard; a portion of the clapboard on the 1st floor has been stuccoed. The building is set on a concrete foundation; it has a hip roof, which is finished in asphalt shingles. On March 18, 1998 the Board approved the floor plans and elevations to convert the subject property from 4 apartment units to 6 hotel units associated with the Sundy Inn. At the same meeting a variance was granted to allow the balcony on the on the west facade (S.W. 1st Avenue) to be widened by 1.5', thus reducing the front setback from 3' to 1.5' where 25' is required. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is proposing to demolish the building, on the basis that the structure is too deteriorated to be rehabilitated. _;._ ,. .-,.� ....,._-.:._ >..... STA FF COMMENTS Pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(F)(1), the HPB shall consider the following guidelines in evaluating applications for a COA for demolition of historic buildings: (a) Whether the structure is of such interest or quality that it would reasonably fulfill the criteria for designation for listing in the National Register. (b) Whether the structure is of such design, craftsmanship, or material that it could be reproduced only with great difficulty or economically nonviable expense. Meeting Date: September 16, 1998 Agenda Item: Ill-B r HPB Staff Report • COA-3562 Page 2 (c) Whether the structure is one of the last remaining examples of its kind in the designated historic district within the city. (d) Whether retaining the structure would promote the general welfare of the city by providing an opportunity to study local history, architecture, and design, or by developing an understanding of the importance and value of a particular culture and heritage. (e) Whether there are definite plans for immediate reuse of the property if the proposed demolition is carried out, and what effect those plans will have on the character of the surrounding area. Staffs evaluation of the guidelines are as follows; the subject property would not qualify for individual listing in the National Register, but could fulfill the criteria as part of a National Register district. The building could be reproduced at a reasonable cost. The structure is one of the last remaining examples of its kind in the Old School Square Historic District. There are no definite plans for what will replace the building. The demolition is not scheduled to occur until the spring of 1999. Staff recommends that the Board continue this item to allow the applicant to prepare the following: • Plans of what will be constructed on the site; and, • An evaluation of the building's structural condition, prepared by a qualified architect or engineer. Undue Economic Hardship LDR Section 4.5.1(F)(2) states that no decision of the board shall result in undue economic hardship for the property owner. The Board shall have authority to determine the existence of such hardship in accordance with the definition of undue economic hardship found in Subsection (H). If the applicant feels that rehabilitating the building will result in undue economic hardship, the Board should be provided with the relevant information pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(H)(1)and(2). ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS • Deny, with reasons stated. • Approve the demolition. • Approve the demolition, with a 6-month delay. • Continue, to allow the applicant to provide the information described above. HPB Staff Report COA-3563 Page 3 RECOMMENDATION Continue Continue the demolition request to allow the applicant to provide the following: • Plans of what will be constructed on the site; • An evaluation of the building's structural condition, prepared by a qualified architect or engineer; and, • If the applicant feels that rehabilitating the building will result in undue economic hardship, the Board should be provided with the relevant information pursuant to LDR Section 4.5.1(H)(1)and(2).

His name is associated with many of Delray's most beautiful buildings still existing from the period. Delray's first architect was born in China to Swedish missionary parents in 1899. His father was killed in the Boxer Rebellion. After fleeing, China his adventurous widowed mother moved to New York City in 1907 and to Florida in 1919. The self-taught Ogren apprenticed with architects in Tampa, Orlando and West Palm Beach. While serving his apprenticeship, he created the design for 704 North Swinton, his first effort in Delray Beach. City officials were so impressed they offered Ogren the position of city architect. He went to Tallahassee, took the state examination for his architect's license and moved his family to Delray Beach. Ogren said he worked 16 to 18 hours a day during the hectic building days of the Florida Boom period--"every waking hour". Before the`Bust", Mr. Ogren had developed more than 100 buildings. At first the Mediterranean, Mission and Monterey styles dominated Ogren's work. Later, he fashioned designs in the frame and bungalow styles as well as sophisticated resorts styles using elements from France, England, Jamaica, Bermuda and Cape Cod . Solomon D . Spady was an accomplished principal/teacher recommended to the community by Dr. Booker T. Washington. From 1922 to 1957 "Prof' Spady was principal/teacher at the Delray County Training School, later renamed George Washington Carver High School During his 35 years, standards and size were raised from a school with 5 teachers and 118 students offering 8 grades to a fully accredited 12-year"A"rated high school with 976 students. Carver High School at that time had the longest teacher tenure of any in the county and 36% of its graduates went onto college. Mr. Spady helped organize the Florida Chapter of the New Farmers of America and was the first official state representative at the national convention. His students were outstanding competitors in NFA national contests. He helped secure a 10-acre tract (now site of Carver) and organized the Palm Beach Farmers Co-operative Association which enabled local farmers to buy agricultural material by the train-load.
