REVIEW COMMENTS MEMORANDUM September 19, 1988 TO: CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD FROM: CARMEN S. ANNUNZIATO I PLANNING DIRECTOR RE: KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN PARKING LOT VARIANCE "I , Section 5-145(c)(4) of the Code of Ordinances requires that when a variance to Section 5, Article X, Parking Lots is requested, the" Technical Review Board must forward to the Planning and Zoning Board a recommendation I and that the recommendation forwarded is to be made part of the pUblic hearing proceedings. To that end, this memo is forwarded I consistent with 5-145(c)(4). Siteworks Architects and Planners, Inc. I agent. for Juan Gavilan, Trustee I is requesting a variance to Section 5-142(h)(3) "Driveways" of the Parking Lot Regulations which requires I among other things I that no driveways may be constructed closer than 180 feet to the intersection of the rights-of-way' lines on streets of a higher classification (arterials/collectors). East Boynton Beach Boulevard is classified as a Minor Arterial according to the 1985 Functional Classification within the Traffic and Circulation Element of the 1986 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The property in question is located at the northwest corner of East Boynton Beach Boulevard and N.E. 1st Street. In this instance, the applicant is requesting to be permitted to construct a twenty-four (24) foot wide driveway onto East Boynton Beach Boulevard approximately 158 feet from the intersecting right-of-way lines between East Boynton Beach Boulevard and N.E. 1st Street. The variance request is being submitted in connection with requests for approval of a conditional use application for a drive-thru restaurant I a site plan, an abandonment application for a fourteen (14) foot wide service alley and a land use element amendment/rezoning application for the north seven (7) feet of the service alley to allow for local retail commercial land use and C-3 zoning. For an explanation of the code requirement I the nature of the variance requested I and the variance justification, please refer to the attached Notice of Public Hearing and application. On Tuesday, September 6, 1988, the Technical Review Board (TRB) met to review the plans and documents submitted and to formulate a recommendation with regard to the variance requested. After review and discussion I the TRB recommended that the variance request be denied. The reasons for this recommendation are as follows: 1. It is the opinion of the Technical Review Board that the proximity of the proposed driveway to the intersection of N.E. 1st Street and Boynton Beach Boulevard (158 feet) will encourage hazardous traffic movements, including conflicting left turn movements and conflicts with the existing City emergency service facilities (fire and police). 2. Although the traffic analysis submitted indicates that the proposed urban design plan for Boynton Beach Boulevard includes provisions for the construction of a curbed and landscaped median adjacent to. the proposed driveway (which would limit the turn movements to right turn-in/right-turn out only) and (2) 2 that a traffic signal is proposed for the intersection of N.E. 1st street and Boynton Beach Boulevard, it is not known if and when these improvements are to be constructed I as the urban design plan for Boynton Beach Boulevard has not been formally adopted and there is no schedule for the construction of the proposed median improvements " and the proposed traffic signal would not be constructed unless determined to be warranted at some time in the future by the County Traffic Engineer. 3. A driveway onto East Boynton Beach Boulevard at this location would be inconsistent with the proposed urban design plan for Boynton Beach Boulevard. ; ~ A- (?,~~ . . __ tfL ~~ CARMEN S. ANNUNZIA 0 CSA:ro cc Central File a ~ ~ ~ MEMORANDUM September 7, 1988 TO: CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD FROM: CARMEN S. ANNUNZIATO I PLANNING DIRECTOR RE: KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN . After having submitted a site plan for review by the Technical Review Board at the August 2, 1988 meeting which incorporated a fourteen (14) foot wide unimproved service alley located along the north side of the property I the project architect was informed that the north seven (7) feet of this alley could not be utilized without a land use element amendment/rezoning request from "Medium Density Residential" land use to "Local Retail" land use and a concurrent rezoning from R-2 to C-3. An application for this change has since been submitted and is being processed for October public hearings. Based on the above, it is recommended that this project be postponed and that the public hearings for the abandonment (item 6.A.1), the parking lot variance (item 6.A.2) and the Conditional Use (item 6.A.3) be continued to the October 11, 1988 meeting at 8:00 p.m. An announcement should also be made that the public hearings for the abandonment and conditional use requests will be held before the City Commission on October 18th at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the agenda permits.

Suite 205 Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 )tit3 r ! I INTRODUCTION I The City of Boynton Beach has been requested to approve a site plan for a Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant. The approximate r-- t I one-half acre site is located in the northwest quadrant of the I I intersection of N.E. 1st Street and Boynton Beach Boulevard (Exhibit 1). - i I The proposed site plan has been reviewed by the City's Technical - ! I Review Board. Both the Technical Review Board and the Planning Department staff have requested a traffic study. The expressed - I , i purpose of this study is to address the following: 1. Compatibility with the proposed urban design plan. 2. The interaction of project generated traffic with existing traffic or adjacent roadways. 3. The interaction of project generated traffic with traffic generated by existing facilities including the - I ! City's emergency function. - , PROJECT DATA The proposed plan is typical of the current design and operation ,- for Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurants. There will be a small interior seating area (approximately 50 seats) and drive-thru service window facilities. Twenty-five (25) on-site parking - 1 - - ! A/1 spaces will be provided (24 required) including two (2) handicapped spaces. Access to the site will be via a driveway on N.E. 1st Street and a driveway on Boynton Beach Boulevard. EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS PM peak hour manual turning movement counts were conducted at the - , Boynton Beach Bou1evard/N.E. 1st Street intersection during the week of August 15, 1988. These traffic counts were taken during the hours of 4: 00 PM to 6: 00 PM and recorded in fifteen (15) minute increments. Twenty-four hour traffic data, including peak season, off-peak season and Average Daily Traffic volumes I provided by the Palm Beach County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) was reviewed and analyzed. This data was - I utilized in developing factors for converting the peak hour - , traffic counts, taken during the off-peak season, to represent an average annual condition. - I I The Boynton Beach Bou1evard/N.E. 1st Street peak hour traffic vol:umes were converted to average annual volumes using the factors as discussed above. These volumes were analyzed - using the unsignalized intersection capacity analysis procedures contained in the TRB' s Circular 212 in combination with the existing geometric configuration to determine current operating conditions. This analysis (Exhibit 2) shows that both legs of N.E. 1st Street are presently operating with long delays. This is not unexpected given the configuration of the N.E. 1st Street ~ approaches (one lane) to Boynton Beach Boulevard and the traffic volumes on the Boulevard. - 1 - 2 - )A 10 I ,.... I Discussions with representatives of the City indicate that delays I also occur during the peak season. Vehicles on the south approach of N.E. 1st Street queue beyond the Fire Station exit ,.... i and impede emergency vehicles. On occasions I during the peak - ! hour, vehicles also queue through the N .E. 1st Street intersection along .Boynton Beach Boulevard. The westbound queue - , I begins at the Seacrest Boulevard/Boynton Beach BoulevarQ intersection and the eastbound queue occurs when a train is - I moving through the City. - RECOMMENDATIONS TO ALLEVIATE EXISTING CONCERNS Field surveys I traffic movement observations and additional intersection capacity analysis indicates that geometric modifications will not substantially improve operating conditions - i I ! or reduce queue lengths. It appears that the answer is to change the existing traffic control at this intersection. Replacing the - : existing emergency signal equipment with a fully operational traffic signal would solve a majority of the concerns and still - , provide the emergency access needs of the Fire Station. ,.... I ! In order to provide full traffic signalization several modifications to the existing hardware and operational equipment, including _but not limited to the signal heads and the control box, would be required. This signal would also be interconnected with the Seacrest Boulevard/Boynton Beach Boulevard traffic signal and Boynton Beach Boulevard sign~ls located east of N.E. 1st Street at the railroad tracks. This interconnect would allow - 3 - ;t'lv ,.... I I ! ,..... for proper progression and coordination between the three (3) ,..... signals. In addition I the Seacrest Boulevard/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection would also be equipped with emergency pre-emption capabilities. This may require a new controller for this signal. The operational advantages of this system are numerous I particularly during an emergency situation. 1. The N.E. 1st Street/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection would be equipped with emergency ,..... , pre-emption to recall the green indications on N.E. 1st Street to allow queued vehicles to clear and also stop traffic on Boynton Beach Boulevard while emergency vehicles clear the intersection. - I 2. Pre-emption equipment at the Seacrest Boulevard/Boynton Beach Boulevard signal would recall the green indication on Boynton Beach Boulevard to - 1 allow westbound traffic to clear in advance of the emergency vehicles. 3. Full signal control of the N.E. 1st Street/Boynton Beach ,..... Boulevard intersection in conjunction with the required '- pavement markings (stop bars, pedestrian crossings, etc. ) would discourage thru traffic from stopping in .- I ! the intersection. ,..... I 1 I - 4 - J, /1 ~ 4. Coordination with the railroad signals would provide a - i means for controlling traffic on Boyn ton Beach Boulevard before it queues through the N.E. 1st Street - I intersection. - Wi"th the recommended signal this intersection would operate at Level of Service (LOS) "An with existing traffic volumes and geometric configuration. FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS Staff has expressed a concern as to future traffic conditions and I the potential impacts on the City's ability to provide emergency services at acceptable response times. There is particular concern relative to N.E. 1st Street, Boynton Beach Boulevard and - I I the N.E. 1st Street/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection. Future traffic conditions will be determined by the following vehicular - ! and geometric developments. - , 1. Increases in background traffic volumes. r- ! 2. Opening of the City's parking garage immediately south of the Fire Station. ! - i I ! 3.' Traffic volumes generated by the proposed Kentucky "- Fried Chicken Restaurant. - i I - 5 - I ! 0/~ r '- 4. Implementation of the Urban Design Plan including improvements to N.E. 1st Street and the landscaped median along Boynton Beach Boulevard. Historic traffic data, provided by the Palm Beach County MPO, was reviewed and analyzed to determine historic traffic growth rates. Although traffic volumes have fluctuated during the last several years they have increased at a rate of approximately 2.75 percent . per year compounded. This rate will be applied to existing - . volumes to project future background volumes. A new City parking garage is presently under construction at the intersection of N.E. 1st Street and N.E. 1st Avenue immediately south of the Fire Station. Entrances/exits will be located on - both 1st Street and 1st Avenue. Although it is anticipated that a majority of the traffic will use the N.E. 1st- Avenue entrance/exit and travel to Seacrest Boulevard I a substantial volume will also use N.E. 1st street. - Traffic volumes associated with the proposed Kentucky Fried Chicken are estimated using trip generation rates contained in : the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) I report entitled - I I rates and the resultant daily and peak hour trips are shown on "Trip Generation" I Fourth Edition. Appropriate trip generation ".- ! Exhibit 3. These volumes are assigned to the street network I intersection and driveways serving the site. This assignment is shown on Exhibit 4. It is important to note that these are not all new trips. ITE research has shown that approximately fifty I i I - 6 - J$(/j r I -- percent of peak hour trips associated with fast food restaurants are captured from the adjacent traffic stream. These trips are merely diverted from the passing traffic and do not represent new trips. The City of Boynton Beach is in the process of adopting an Urban Design Plan for Boynton Beach Boulevard. This proposed plan recommends two (2) elements that are important to this analysis: the widening of N. E. 1st Street and a landscaped median on - . Boynton Beach Boulevard. Based on the traffic projection methodology and the roadway improvements discussed above I an analysis of future traffic conditions was undertaken. The analysis (Exhibit 5) shows that - this intersection will operate at an acceptable level of service (LOS "A") during the PM peak hour if the traffic signal improvements previously recommended are implemented. r SITE CIRCULATION Access to the site will be via driveway connections to/from both N.E. 1st Street and Boynton Beach Boulevard. Access to the I drive-thru window will be predominantly from N.E. 1st Street. , The drive-thru will have storage for a maximum of four (4) I , vehicles. An additional three (3) or four (4) vehicle can be I stored on site. The driveway to/from Boynton Beach Boulevard will be limited to right turn in and right turn out movements. I - 7 - Yf:JO I The proposed median on Boynton Beach Boulevard will prevent left turn movements and eliminate conflicts with the Fire Station. CONCLUSIONS ..... I I i Installation of a fully operation traffic signal at the N.E. 1st Street/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection will improve traffic ..... control and flow. The signal would increase the carrying capacity of N.E. 1st Street, enhance access to the City's parking garage and reduce potential conflicts with emergency vehicles. - . The additional traffic generated by the proposed Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant will not have a significant impact on traffic operations in the area. Based on research by the Institute of Transportation Engineers approximately one-half of the traffic to and from the proposed restaurant is already travelling on adjacent streets. Construction of the proposed landscaped median r along Boynton Beach Boulevard and signalization of the N.E. 1st Street/Boynton Beach Boulevard intersection will reduce the i impact of conflicting traffic movements. Left turn movements to and from the restaurant would be made under signal control only - , at N .E. 1st Street. Turning movements at the Boynton Beach r Boulevard driveway would be right turn in and out onlYI further I reducing traffic conflicts. ;- I - ! - 8 - ;t6 f} I r i . . ...- \ \ \\ r r- I \ \ r-- I I I ~ ,-- \ I , ,.-. , .' .
