The Arches
Time Extension
Additional Justification
The following statement provides additional justification to the City to support the
applicants need for a time extension for the project known as the "The Arches" located at
500 Ocean Avenue. The current market conditions are a major factor in the stalling of
the project. The applicant has been working on creative solutions to this problem in order
to make the project move forward and begin beginning construction. After some analysis
of current market conditions, the applicant is moving forward with a luxury rental project
instead of the previously proposed condominium units. There is a need for upscale
rental units within the City of Boynton Beach. With the potential conversion to rental
come minor mechanical, electrical, and plumbing modifications. The applicant has
currently put the construction plans out to bid for these modifications and intends on
beginning this modification process within the next several months. Below details the list
of proposed construction changes that the applicant is proposing:
Architectural Value Engineering Changes:
.
Eliminated 1 floor of the parking gara~e
o Amenity deck is now on the 51 floor rather than the 6th
o 6th floor residential is now identical to floors 7'h _15th
o Exercise room and Party room are now located on 5th floor.
o Unit number will change from 356 to 362, addition of 6 units
.
Reduce size of Amenity deck
o Stair C-3 has been eliminated
o 'Storage room' to replace stair C-3 on roof deck to maintain symmetry
o Maximum occupancy for smaller roof deck: 625 occupants
o Maximum occupied area for smaller roof deck: 19,000 square feet
.
Eliminated building 'D' retail (2-Story)
o Northwest corner of parking garage was redesigned to accommodate two
loading docks. (151 floor)
o Northwest side of plaza where building '0' used to sit will require a new
landscape layout.
.
Trellis and associated planters on the 151 floor have been eliminated from parking
garage fayade
. Glass canopy has been removed from first floor at northeast and southeast
corners of retail
. Eliminated high ceiling and curtain wall system in corner units on 51h and 151h
floor.
o Roof slabs at both 51h and 15th floor are continuous all the way to corners.
o Slab still projects 2'-0" past parapet at corners
o Glass balcony guardrail sitting on concrete curb at corners where curtain
wall used to be.
Structural VE Chanqes:
Change foundation system from augercast piles to vibroflotation.
The applicant feels that progress continues to be made in order to keep the proposed
project moving forward in a market that is currently unfavorable towards residential
development. The applicant respectfully requests the approval of the requested time
extension.
