ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 92-254

Planning & Zoning Director
FROM: Vincent A. 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.

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.

FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 92-~
October 9, 1992
r
TO:
Planning Department
FROM:
Fire Department
RE:
N.W. BOYNTON - .
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.

RE:

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.
