REQUEST FOR WAIVER, JUSTIFICATION
for
QUANTUM PARK TOWNHOMES - EAST & WEST
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS; Ch. 2; Sec. 7, H.15.
Requesting a waiver of 5' to allow a reduction in the minimum distance
between buildings from 25' to 20'.
This request is justified based up. on the present 20' minimum separation allowed in
t_he R-3 Multi Family Zoning District. The 25' in the Planned Industrial Development
District contemplates much more intense uses with larger structures, truc.k, traffic, etc.
it is also of interest to note that townhouses may be separated by only 15 in the Palm
Beach County Code.
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS; Ch. 2; Sec. 7, H.16.
Requesting a waiver of 10' from side setbacks in order to allow a 10' side
setback when a 20' setback is required.
This request is only for one of th.e' eight setback situations (2 parcels, front, rea
sides each) that occur between the two site plans submitted. The particular bL
question is located at the northeast corner of the east parcel and only encroac
one corner. The average setback of the building is 32' since it sits on an angle
side property line. This particular orientation is as a result of an attempt to shi~
front living areas of these townholmes (by rotating the building axis clockwise)
passing vehicular traffic on Quantum Boulevard.
This situation may also be justified because the adjacent property is a platted
area several hundred feet in width that is owned and maintained by the Quant

LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS; Ch. 2; Sec. 11, H.2.
Requesting a waiver of 3' from the minimum 12' width required for the
first parking space not within an enclosed garage.
The imposition of this re ulation rves no usef '
g se ul purpose in a townhouse co munit
with garages. In the west tract each unit has a one car garage with a separa~ doul~lYe
(1)
EXHIBIT "C"
width driveway for that living unit, thereby accomodating three vehicles R uirin a
12' i . , - . eq g
w dth for the first driveway space only serves to reduce landscape open space that
is desirable in the front yard areas. Furthermore each driveway is for the use Of that
residence only and will not have a turnover of vehicles using the spaces. In fact a 16'
wide double driveway has become the industry standard in townhome and single
family home situations.
In the case of the east tract, all units contain a two car garage with access fro? ,p, rivat~
parking aisles. All guest parking is parallel to interior roadways and measures 9 x 25.
These dimensions are equal to or exceed industry wide standards and to reqUire that
the first space in each group be 12' in width serves no purpose. It is also clean that this
requirement contemplated 90 degree parking areas rather than parallel parking.

1. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code X
requirement of 1,500 g.p.m, as stated in the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV,
Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever
is greater (see CODE, Section 26-16(a)). I
2. All utility easements shall be shOwn on the rectified site plan and X
landscaping drawings so that we may determine which trees may interfere
with utilities. In general, palm tree~ will be the only tree species allowed
within utility easements. Canopy irees may be planted outside of the I
easement so that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the
easement in the foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I,
Section 18.1 gives public utilities the authority to remove any trees that
interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-
way. It appears that onlY storm drainage could be affected by landscape
conflicts.

3. Design documents where underground water mains and hydrants are to be X
provided, must demonstrate that they ~ill be installed, completed, and in
service prior to construction work perI the Florida Fire Prevention Code,
(2000) Section 29-2.3.2. 1

A lighting plan should be provided !at this time since both street and site
lighting need to be evaluated. It is much easier to identify and correct any
deficiencies now than while you are ~aiting on a permit. ~'

fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LDR,
Chapter 23, Article II, Section A. 1.b)l
12. Catch basin and manhole covers sh~ll be bicycle proof (LDR, Chapter 6, X

Congress Ave. and QUantum Blvd. &i Gateway Blvd. the Developer shall be
required to pOst a letter of credit in the amount of 110% of the estimated
cost of installation of traffic signa!s prior to issuance of any building
permit(s), i
i 7. The responsibility for the cost of the l]:affic signals shall rest with Quantum X
Town Homes. This is consistent with the previously stated opinion of
Quantum Limited Partners that all !raffle related improvements shall be
borne by all developers of vacant parcels (rather than by Quantum Limited
earmers).

18. Staff would prefer that water and ~ewer, on Quantum Blvd., be placed X
within the roadway right-of-way rather than an easement., the concern being
future accessibility.
