Finizio Administrative Coordinator of Engineering DATE: September 10, 1992 RE: Technical Review Committee Comments Concurrency Review Requested Time Extension for Filing of Preliminary Plat Knollwood Groves P.U.D. Please be advised that the Engineering Department for the City of Boynton Beach recommends approval of the applicant's request for time extension and this office additionally finds that the granting of said time extension will not affect the concurrency status of this project, as discussed during today's Technical Review Committee meeting. Our only concern to date, is the fact that City Departments have not yet received the master plan for Knollwood Groves which has complied with previously submitted staff comments, therefore I the applicant as a condition of approval for this time extension should provide us four copies of a Knollwood Grove master plan which complies with all staff comments previously generated during the master plan review process. Should you require any additional information or assistance, please contact me at ext. 488. VAF/ck cc: J. Scott Miller, City Manager w. Richard Staudinger, P.E., Gee & Jenson .... FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM 92 - 477 TO: Wm. D. Cavanaugh Jim Ne~ Oct. 13, 1992 FROM: DATE: Re: Lawrence Road EMS Response Times Per your request, I have researched EMS response times to various subdivisions located off of Lawrence Road. The critical importance of a rapid EMS response can not be over emphasized. High priority call s such as cardiac arrest require treatment wi thin 4 to 6 minutes. The average response for most EMS calls within the City limits is approximately 3 minutes. It is the goal of our EMS program to maintain a response time of less than 4 minutes whenever possible. The average response time to those calls off of Lawrence Road (based on historical data) has been in excess of 5 minutes. Calls which require responses from other stations as back-up to station 3 will have even longer delays. Based on this data, I would strongly recommend that the City aggressively pursue the expansion of Miner Road to connect Lawrence Road to Congress Ave. As we begin a program of growth to include more EMS and Fire responses West of the prevailing City limits, this link becomes even more critical. No expansion of services should be considered without first considering the maintaining our current standard of care.

BOUNDED by .HYPOLUXO & N. W. 22ND AVE CONGRESS AVE. & LAWRENCE RD The City has committed to providing certain services in this area. Master and site plans have all reflected Fire Department input pertaining to roads and water service. Presently, research is being conducted pertaining to additional annexation in this same area. Fire Department staff have consistently placed a high priority on connective roads in this area. NOW I due to circumstances I planning and expectations have sunk to a critical level. Examples: KNOLLWOOD GROVES - request to modify impact fees for Miner Road. LAWRENCE GROVE - previously released from agreement to provide 60' right of way road connection with the meadows; ie Bedford Blvd. CITRUS GLEN - unfulfilled agreements with regard to Miner Road. Prior expectations by staff in the Fire Department were that Miner Road would be complete at approximately the same time Fire Station III was brought on line. It appears that several more years will pass before this will be accomplished. This situation is becoming untenable as response time elevates along with additional value in the area served. It. is the Department's position that NO EXCEPTIONS CONCERNING MINER ROAD BE MADE and that THE PROCESS TO ATTAIN A COMPLETED ROAD BE EXPEDITED. William D.

City Engine1{ K ~ October 13, 1992 DATE: RE: Knollwood Groves P.U.D. TRC Review of Request to Modify Traffic Impact Fees T~e engineering department is receptive to reviewing with the TRC any viable proposal by the applicant which results in the construction of Minor Road. Any such proposal would require Planning Board and City Commission review and concurrence. I suggest the TRC defer any action until a specific proposal including the construction of or funding ... of the construction of Minor Road is forwarded by the applicant.
