SUBJECT: Boynton Beach Community Development Corporation - PKLV 96-004
Parking Lot Variance (Driveway Distance from the Right-of-Way)
NATURE OF REQUEST
The Law Office of Allen Wm. Martincavage, Sr., agent for Boynton Beach
Community Development Corporation, owner of the land and building to be
developed as the office for the Boynton Beach Community Development
Corporation, is requesting a variance from the City of Boynton Beach Land
Development Regulations, Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II, Paragraph H -
Driveways, Subsection 3. Subsection 3 states:
"Distance from streets. Parking lot driveways shall be constructed at least thirty
(30) feet from the intersection of the right-of-way lines along local streets... ".
According to the proposed site plan, the distance between the driveway and the
Gateway Boulevard right-of-way line would be approximately five (5) feet.
BACKGROUND
This request is being processed in connection with an application for a major site
plan modification of the property to be developed as an office for the Boynton
Beach Community Development Corporation. The property is located at 2191
Seacrest Boulevard, which is southwest corner of Gateway Boulevard and N.
Seacrest Boulevard, immediately east of N.W. 1st Street (see Exhibit "A" -
location map). The developer is proposing the remodeling of the existing
structure. Parking for this facility will be constructed west of the existing
building. Access to the parking lot and site will be provided only from N.W. First
Street (see Exhibit "B" - survey and Exhibit "C" - proposed site plan). Due to the
construction of the Gateway Boulevard exit of Interstate 1-95, the western part of
the northern right-of-way of the subject property was reuced to accommodate the
construction of this ramp. This alteration resulted in reduction of the frontage of
the property on N.W. 1st Street that further limited accommodation of a driveway
access to this property from N.W. 1st Street. According to the proposed layout
for this facility, the distance between the proposed driveway and the southern
right-of-way line of Gateway Boulevard would be approximately five (5) feet.
ANALYSIS
A copy of the parking lot variance application submitted by the applicant has
been provided in Exhibit "D", which includes a statement of justification.

Parking Variance Staff Report
Memorandum #96-447
Boynton Beach Community Development Corporation Office
On Tuesday, August 27,1996, the Technical Review Committee (TRC) reviewed
the plans and related documents. Staff discussion focused on safety concerns
that would emerge if the variance would be granted. In particular, a concern was
expressed that, if the variance would be granted as submitted and, taking into
consideration limited visibility caused by severe elevation changes and short
distance of multi-directional turning movements, a potentially hazardous
vehicular traffic situation will be created at the intersection of Gateway Boulevard
and N.W. 1st Street.
RECOMMENDATION
Based upon the above safety concerns, the TRC recommends denial of this
request. However, if the Planning and Development Board and/or the City
Commission elects to grant this variance, staff recommends that the safety
concerns, at a minimum, be addressed through redesign of, and changes in
traffic circulation at this intersection. These changes would be as follows:
. Convert to one-way the northern portion of the N.W. 1st Street (north of the
proposed accessway);
. Alteration of the intersection of Gateway Boulevard and N.W. 1st Street to
allow only right-turns from N.W. 1st Street onto Gateway Boulevard; and
. Elimination of the right-turn movement from Gateway Boulevard onto N.W.
1 st Street.
After incorporating the above design solutions, city staff would support the
approval of the variance, subject to the remaining comments as enumerated in
Exhibit "E" - Conditions of Approval.
