proposed for relocation.

28. Staff recommends that the audio component of the menu board (related to the X
drive-through facility) should project its sound in any direction other than
west so as to not create a potential disturbance to the residential neighborhood
29. Staff recommends incorporating a buffer wall into the design of the west X
landscape buffer because the subject property abuts an existing non-
conforming residential use. The wall shall be at least six (6) feet in height,
stucco, and painted on both sides (Chapter 2, Section 4.L.). The row of
Redtip Cocoplum shall be planted on the outside of the buffer wall. This can
be accomplished at the time of permitting. All plans must match this
modification.

RE: PROPOSED SITE PLAN FOR DUNKIN DONUTS 1317 S FEDERAL HIGHWAY-
BOYNTON BEACH- CONDITIONAL USE JUSTIFCATION
A- PROJECT OVERVIEW:
The overall purpose and intent of this request to demolish and replace the existing Dunldn Donuts
building located at 1317 South Federal Highway.
It is based on two pdmary reasons:
1) The existing Dunkin Donuts store is over thirty years old, undergone several improvements, and
is currently nearing the end of its life cycle. So that any further improvements would be
economically meaningless and would not resolve the problems created by changing
demographics and different customer needs over the past years.
2) Due to changing demographics resulting in a different traffic pattern and customer needs have
generated the need, more than ever, for a drive thru, pick up window. Business, over the years,
has transformed from a traditional' sit down 'coffee shop to a lake out' high volume coffee shop.
Currently approximately sixty percent of the overall business is "take out'.
The approval of this request will better serve the welfare safety and the general health of the
community now and into the future
B-JUSTIFICATION:
1) Current site parking and access configuration creates congestion, conflicting traffic flow and
virtually no pedestrian circulation, which is an endangerment to the safety of the customers,
visiting the store, and general public travelling along Federal Highway.
The proposed site plan will alleviate these problems by providing direct pedestrian access from
the public side walk on Federal Highway, improve traffic flow and circulation significantly by
allowing a two way traffic on the north side, but at the same time allowing full access around the
entire building by providing a by pass lane. It will also alleviate the congestion currently caused by
'take out' customers who have currently to park their vehicles for pick up of their orders, by
providing a drive thru pick up window. It will also allow easier and quicker p',~k up of refuse
collection, with separate ingress and egress, currently unavailable and additionally full access
and circulation to emergency vehicles around the entire building.
2) The proposed improvements will provide improved buffering to the West Side of the property, by
a providing a 6' high solid concrete wall and 4' high hedge. To adjacent properties to the north
and south by adding landscaping to soften the noise and activity within the site. The site lighting
is shielded on both the west and south property lines to minimize glare and over spill at nighttime.
Improvements will add a loading area, currently unavailable, better landscaping, improved night
EXHIBIT "D" -
time lighting, better shielding and buffering to adjacent properties resulting in a new facility that
will be suited to serve the community better and at the same time promoting the welfare, safety
and general health of the community at large.
3) Proposed location and configuration of refuse containment will provide safer and quicker refuse
collection.
Enclosure, along with proposed landscaping, will shield the refuse container. (Currently there is
no enclosure).
It is also proposed to use the dumpster access lane also as a loading zone. Although this may
raise concerns, typically deliveries occur between 12.00 midnight to 2.00 am whereas refuse pick
up is between 6 and 7 am twice a week, and is expected to take only a few minutes with the
proposed configuration. Also customer traffic is minimal at this time, and proposed north entrance
will allow both ingress and egress for this particular reason, should both the by pass lane and the
drive thru lane be blocked at the same time, customers may exit through the north entrance.
Spedf'mally parking spaces on the south side, of the building, will be designated for the exclusive
use of employees only thereby ensuring free access for customers to the building at all times.
4) Currently all the utilities, required for the proposed improvement, including water, sewer,
electricity and natural gas are existing, and should be adequate for the proposed improvements.
5) Proposed landscaping, a vast improvement from what is existing will provide better screening
buffering, appearance and soften the activity within the site from adjacent properties. The
proposed landscaping will comply with the city's latest standards. Irrigation, currently non-
existent, will also be provided.
6) Proposed signage will comply with current city codes. Signage will only be provided on the west
side of the building, facing federal highway, thereby shielding the south and north properties. A
monument sign on the north east comer of the property will replace the current non-compliant
pylon sign. Overall square footage will be less than the maximum allowed by the city sign code.
The proposed signage will minimize the impact on the adjacent properties.
7) The proposed set backs exceed the minimum required by the city's codes and additional
landscaping along Federal Highway, currently non-existent, will be provided.
8) The proposed use will remain unchanged from its current use. Use is consistent with the current
and future zoning designations for the site (Community Commercial- C3) and use of Local Retain
Commercial (LRC) and also with the properties located to the north and south. It will serve the
high density and medium densities residential properties to the east and west sides well at the
same time providing the necessary buffedng and screening.
9) The proposed height of 21 feet ,measured at the highest point of the monolith, is well below the
code allowed height of 45', thereby providing a building that is in harmony with the adjacent
buildings
10) The proposed improvements will benefit the community and the city in providing a better and
renewed economic stature and tax revenue base. We believe the proposed improvements are
consistent with the city's redevelopment plans for this distdct and changing demographics.
11) The proposed improvements are in compliance with the city's standards as set forth in Chapter 4
of the Land Development Regulations.
12) The proposed improvements are in full compliance with the city's Noise Control Ordinance
specifically chapter 15, section 15.8 of the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances.
