Comments;
1. Staff strongly discourages on-street parking along High Ridge Road and X
Miner Rd, due to their functional classification (Urban Collector) and the
volumes and types of traffic they carry. The applicant may petition the
County for permission to utilize on-street parking. If allowed by the County,
provide written concurrence of this decision. . ,- ---.-
2. At the time of permitting, improve High Ridge Road to a minimum of three X
12-foot lanes from Miner Road to the northern boundary of the proposed
development. Provide plans, including typical sections) for off-site
improvements, including curb and gutter along High Ridge Road, Palm
Beach County permi1s will be required for work within the Palm Beach
County right-of.way. Staff recognizes that improvements required by the city
may not be required and I or supported by the County. The developer shall
provide a letter of credit in the amount of 110% of the engineer's estimate for

3. The minimum right-of-way width for a PUD is 40-feet. (LDR, Chapter 2,5, X
Section 9.F,) The applicant is proposing a traditional neighborhood design
and is desirous of utilizing a proposed Code Change, currently in process, to
allow for lesser right-of-way widths for portions of the project. Internal
roadways will be categorized as "Primary" and "Secondary" based on their
functions. Primary roadways will handle internal flow, guests, deliveries and
FirelRescue access. Secondary roadways will be utilized for homeowner
access to the rear loaded parking and will additionally be used for Solid
Waste Access.
