MINUTES:. PLANNING COMMISSION,_SPECIAL MEETING FOR DISCUSSION OF
RPUD CHANGE IN PLANS FOR BOCA-HI, HELD AUGUST 2, 1974.
• Chairman Kemery called to order a special meeting to consider a pre-
sentation by Boca Hi of proposed changes in the PUD previously approved.
Representing Boca Hi, Mr. Rogers introduced the plan with proposed
changes, displaying a copy of the plan as originally submitted, with an
acetate overlay outlining proposed changes. He pointed out there was no
deviation from PUD in the new plan and no increase in the number of square
feet of apartments or land area covered by structures.
The hi rise change as indicated by Mr. Rogers is in location--16 ft. in
the direction of AIA, east of the Intracoastal --a change of from 715 Ft.
to 699 ft. In addition there is a proposed change in the location of
the deck area. Mr. Rogers stated that Mr. Foster, former Highland Beach
Zoning Official, had advised the set back as originally planned was not
in keeping with the general ordinances of the Town. New plans, there-
fore, show relocation of deck area, set back an additional 10 ft.
Another 6 ft.change is a result of a recommendation made by the Fire
Marshal relative to a driveway through the deck and parking area; i.e.,
driveways should be 6 ft. wider. This change brought about a 16 ft.
relocation, crowding the Town House units and making access difficult for
service and fire apparatus.
Mr. Boscove asked the distance the seawall had been moved. Mr. Rogers
• advised the new location of the seawall should be 30 ft. inside the
marina area. The seawall on the north side being moved further out into
the water. The green areas will range from 10 to 18 ft. Dr. Guelzow
questioned the relation of the seawall to the property line. Mr. Rogers

Commission. Mr. Wilcox inquired as to the dimensions of the green area.
Mr. Rogers stated this area varies in dimension and added, the area,
originally planned as 70,505 square feet is now 92,501 square feet.
This change resulted in an area of 58,000 square feet of water in the
marina instead of the originally planned 66,448 square feet.
A discussion followed with Mr. Rogers and Chairman Kemery concerning
the footage between buildings and AIA. Mr. Rogers noted that the covered
parking area is 2 and 3 stories. The swimming pool area was increased
1200 square feet with the pool recessed in the deck. The area beneath
the pool is designed for storage. Dr. Guelzow inquired as to landscap-
ing. Mr. Rogers indicated both the ground level and deck areas will
have landscaping; i.e., shrubs in planters, etc., on deck.
At Chairman Kemery's question, Mr. Rogers explained the waterway at the
narrowest point in the North Marina is over 70 ft. Relocation of the
