Traffic Study
Dear Mr. Weisberg:
Attached you will find a traffic study for a new mixed-use
bUilding at an existing marina located at 700 Casa Loma Boulevard
(see attached location map). An existing 1,380 square foot dive
shop will be razed to accommodate the new four-story mixed-use
buil~ing to be occupied by thirteen residential townhouse units,
4,~t square feet of retail and 6,620 square feet of office. The
two- drift-fishing boats at the existing marina will continue to
operat. since no change is proposed.
since the City has elected the County to review traffic impact
studies for projects generating between 200 and 1,000 daily
trips, please review this project for compliance with Palm Beach
county Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance No. 90-40.
If you have any questions concerning the above, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Yours very truly,

building. Six retail unHs end one rental office will be located on the first
floor. Thirteen office/studio units .....ii1l be on U'"le second floor. Thirt.een
tow.nl.,ouse renta I units will be located on the thf rd and fourth fl oars. The
ground floor retei) consists of 4356 squere feet. The ground floor office ,~gSl
space, together with the second floor olfficel studio comprise 6620 square ~
feet, The e>{isting dive shop conteins 1350 square feet. Two drift fishing 5 1
tloats currently operate out of Hie niarina, generating 112 trips. No
addHional trips will arise out of the drift boat operation. The existing
trips resulting from the ongoing drift boet operetion have been e><:cluded
for tr,e purposes of this analysis, Because this pt-oject is iocated in the
central business district of Boynton Beacl', and rnany of Hie Searnfst Centre

RE: Sea Mist Centre and Marina - File No. 626
Conditional Use
Dear Mr. Livingston:
Please be advised that the plans submitted for review of the
above-referenced request cannot be processed further as the plans
submitted are incomplete and do not meet the City's codes (see
attached comments for details). sixteen sets (plus one for the
City Clerk equals 17 sets) of revised plans addressing the
comments below, as well as the attached comments from other
departments (excludes comments from community Improvement
Director and Public works Director - contact them directly for
their comments); the conditional use application, amended to
reflect the information on the revised plans; and the $250
resubmittal fee, will need to be submitted to the Planning
Department no late~ than 5:00 P.M. on August 16, 1991 for public
hearings to occur in september.
1. A draft lease arrangement covering the leasing of Barnett
Bank's surplus parking must be submitted for review and
recommendation by the Technical Review Board and must be
approved by the Community Redevelopment Agency. Based on
the results of the revised parking data discussed in #3
below, a lease arrangement may be desired with the Ligthouse
Square Marina project also, to lease their proposed surplus
spaces.
2. Amend the site plan, conditional use application, traffic
study (see ~4 below) and conceptual parking documentation
(see #3 below) so that all square footages correspond.
3. The conceptual parking documentation submitted must be
revised and resubmitted to address the following issues:
a) pg.1 - Footprint size of the building will change as a
result of the setback issues discussed in the Building
Department memorandum and must correspond to the site
plan.
b) pg.l - For purposes of parking and traffic, the use of
the second floor must be stated without flexibility of
use.
c) pg.l - The number of boat slips stated for the Sea Mist
Centre differs from the number shown on the site plan.

the Little Beeper (less than 50 seats), the

Indicate which boats are still moored at the
e) pg.l - The final sign-off plans on record indicate
that the Lighthouse Square Marina includes 45,228
square feet of retail/office. The two 175 seat
restaurants were lumped within this total and the
retail parking rate was applied.
f) pg.1 - Two Georges is currently licensed for only 50
restaurant seats. This can be increased through
occupational Licenses if the parking documentation
proves there is parking to accommodate the additional
110 seats. Also, occupational licenses are active for
three boats; the Geno III (6 seats), the Wesley (10 or
less seats) and the Two Georges (43 seats). Indicate
which boats are still moored at the site.
g) pg.1 - The square footages listed for the Sea Mist
centre, within the table provided, do not correspond to
the site plan. Also, the square footages listed for
the Lighthouse square Marina do not correspond to the
final sign-off plans on record ((see e) above)).
h) pg.2 - The 11 (or 9?) wet slips must be listed at the
rate of one parking space per slip.
i) pg.2 - with respect to the parking requirements table
for the Sea Mist Centre, two bedroom townhouse units
require two parking spaces per unit. office and retail
square footage shall be combined and the office/retail
complex rate of 1/200 shall be applied. Drift boats
require 1 space for ever 3 seats. Therefore, the total
parking spaces for this project, which is subject to
change when a), c), d), g) and h) above are addressed,
is 110.
j) pg.2 - The available parking table needs to be revised.
No off-street parking is provide for this project or
Two Georges. On-street parking cannot be credited to
meet off-street parking requirements. The code
recognizes this by allowing a 35% reduction in the
required off-street parking. For the Lighthouse Square
Marina, the final sign-off plans show 286 spaces
provided, however the 229 figure may be accurate if it
takes into consideration the spaces lost when
addressing the mangrove comments from outside agencies.
This cannot be verified since a revised final sign-off
plan has not yet been submitted to the Building
Department. In addition, Barnett Bank has a surplus of
80 parking spaces that can be leased. These spaces are
800 feet away from the farthest point of the mixed used
building, as measured along the pedestrian walkway.
Therefore, these spaces can be leased for use by the
Sea Mist centre, but not Two Georges, which is over 800
feet away (statistically, Two Georges could lease
spaces from Lighthouse square Marina). Using the 229
space figure for the marina, 309 spaces are available.
k) pg.2 - Regarding the overall parking requirement table,
the parking requirement information for Two Georges
must be revised to include any additional boats, as
discussed in d) and f) above, the retail stand and
outside grill that exist. The Lighthouse Square Marina
information must be revised to reflect the final
sign-off plans on file (unless these plans are
superseded by revised sign-off plans) which include
45,228 square feet of office/ retail (includes
restaurants, office and first floor of the harbor
master) and 1,837 square feet of storage on the second
floor of the harbor master at the rate of 1/800. The
table does not take into consideration the 35%
reduction in parking spaces allowed by code for
projects located in the C.B.D., nor the additional 10%
reduction allowed by code for projects with shared
parking facilities. (I've attached a handwritten table
with my version of the calculations partially
addressing these comments.)
I) pg.3 - Delete page 3 and Table 1 from this
documentation. This is not intended to be a shared
parking study since the code already allows an
additional 10% reduction for projects with shared
parking facilities located within the C.B.D. as
discussed in k) above. In addition, several of the
statements made in the conclusion are inaccurate, the
required 10% buffer has not been incorporated and
shared parking studies must be prepared by a certified
traffic consultant evidenced by his seal on the study.
4. Attached is a copy of Palm Beach County's response to the
traffic study submitted. Three copies of the revised study
reflecting the County's comments must be submitted.
5. No surface parking is permitted in the front yard of any
bUilding along a major public pedestrian streetscape system
as designated in the community redevelopment plan. Appendix
A - Zoning, Section 6.E.4.c(1).
6. License agreements to allow parking and improvements in both
the Orange Avenue and the Casa Lorna Boulevard public
right-of-ways must be submitted to the Planning Department
for review by the legal staff. (If Fire Department and
Public Works Department comments regarding fire and dumpster
access are addressed by eliminating the dumpster in Casa
Lorna Boulevard and all landscape amenities in Orange Avenue,
and all improvements within Casa Lorna Boulevard, shown on
the Lighthouse Square Marina plans are to be done by the
Lighthouse Square Marina, then license agreements will not
be necessary.)
7. A cross access and cross parking agreement with the owner of
the Lighthouse square Marina must be submitted to the
Planning Department for review by the legal staff.
8. Approval of this project is contingent upon the construction
of the Lighthouse Square Marina project since the subject
property is dependent upon the Lighthouse Square Marina
project for infrastructure including utilities, access,
parking, etc.
9. Amend the site data table on the site plan to summarize
number of residential units, square footages, uses, required
and provide parking and site information from pages 3 and 4
of the site plan application.

RE: SEAMIST CENTER - FILE NO. 626
Department of Engineering
and Public Works
Dear Ms. Heyden:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic impact study
for the project entitled Seamist Center pursuant to the 1990 Traffic Performance
Standards Code (Ord. No. 90-40). The project consists of increasing retail space
from 1,380 square feet to 4,356 square feet, 6620 square feet of office and 13
townhouse units. The traffic study contains inaccurate information in two
sections. It is missing information in one section. They are as follows:
C. Ca 1 cul at i on of Total Traffi c Generated Based on Tvpe of land Use The
calculations in this section assumes townhouse and office uses derive some of
their trips from pass-by traffic. This assumption is incorrect. Correcting the
calculation results in an increase of net trips from 430 trips to 551 trips.
This will have an effect on the impact fees assessed to the project. This does
not change the conclusion of the study.
E. Background Determination A buildout date for the project is not included.
F. Assured Construction The report states that the five year assured road
improvements are factored into the Palm Beach County Traffic Volume Map. The
Traffic volume map has no relationship to assured construction.
If you have any questions regarding the determination of the County Traffic
Division, please feel free to contact Dan Weisberg at 684-4030.

In lieu of approval, we offer the following comments on this
project:
Owner shall provide fire flow calculations and details
of fire protection system.
We suggest the 2" service be tapped off the existing
water main to eliminate the need for K-Copper Piping
and that a valve box to grade be installed over the
Corporation stop. The R.P.B.F. shall be installed
between the meter and the building and we suggest it be
hard pipe above ground to reduce the risk of damage.
Dual units are also recommended so service will not be
interrupted during testing.
We reserve the right to revisit the utility review
pending revisions required by other department
comments.
