ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
This office has been retained to prepare a Revised
Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed Water's Edge Marina
complex to be constructed on 6.8 acres of land located south
of the proposed extension of Boynton Beach Boulevard, east of
U.s. lover the Intracoastal Waterway, north of Ocean Avenue
and on the east and west sides of Orange Grove Avenue (N.E.
6th Street) within the Corporate limits of the City of Boynton
Beach, Florida. The land use mix for this proposed project
has been changed, necessitating a revision to the Traffic
Impact Analysis originally prepared for this project, dated
October, 1986.
The Boynton

(3,000) or more
(250) or more
(1) hour period.
Beach Zoning Code states that a Traffic
is required for all Planned Commercial
Petitions which generate three thousand
vehicle trips per day or two hundred fifty
single directional vehicle trips within a one
This Analysis has been performed in order to determine
the volume of traffic expected to be attracted by this project
at such time that this project is completely built out and
occupied, the effect that this traffic will have on the
capacity of the roadways in the area of the project and what
roadway improvements, if any, are necessary as a result of the
approval of this project. This Analysis has also been
performed in accordance with the standards and criteria as
established in the Palm Beah County Traffic Performance
Standards Ordinance #81-6, as this is the standard which has
been established by the Traffic Division of the Palm Beach
County Engineer's Office. The Palm Beach County Engineer's
Office will be reviewing this Analysis in cooperation with the
City's Planning Department.
Existing traffic counts, which were available from the
Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Palm Beach County
Traffic Division were used, when applicable, and these counts
were augmented by twenty-four (24) hour machine counts and
peak hour hand counts performed by this office.
SITE INFORMATION AND LAND USE
The location map, Figure I, shows the location of this
parcel of land in relation to the area's thoroughfares. The
Water's Edge Marina is a multi-use commercial project
consisting of a 150 bed motel, 26,376 square feet of general
retail, 8,570 square feet of professional office, a 12,800
square foot 350 seat quality restaurant and a 51 slip marina.
The project also has a multi-level 252 space parking garage.
Presently, the access to this site is on Orange Grove
Avenue (N.E. 6th Street) to Ocean Avenue. Should the
necessary right-of-way be made available, then the Developer
of Water's Edge Marina would have an option to extend Boynton
Beach Boulevard easterly to the site to provide a second
access.
EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS
As proposed, the major roadway serving as access to this
project is Ocean Avenue. Ocean Avenue is a four lane
collector roadway adjacent to the site with an existing,
average volume of traffic of 8,323 trips per day. The major
north-south roadway closest to the project is u.S. 1. u.s. 1
is a four lane divided roadway in the project study area.
u.S. 1 has average, daily volumes of 19,766 trips per day
north of Ocean Avenue and 18,403 trips per day south of Ocean
Avenue. Both of these roadways are operating at volumes below
capacity at Level of Service "D".

GENERATION
The generation rates used for this project were based
upon information published in the report, "Trip Generation -
Third Edition", Institute of Transportation Engineers, 1982
and from "1981 Update Study of Trip Generation Characteristics
Within Palm Beach County" prepared by Kimley-Horn and
Associates for the Palm Beach County Engineer's Office. The
generation rates used in this Analysis are:
RETAIL
OFFICE
MOTEL
RESTAURANT
MARINA
100.0 tpd/ 1,000 s.f.
18.0 tpd/ 1,000 s.f.
10.14 tpd/ occupied room
74.9 tpd/ 1,000 s.f.
0.5 tpd/ slip
Although called a hotel on the Site Plan, for the
purposes of this Analysis, this facility shall be considered
to be a motel. From an engineering viewpoint, there is
considerable difference in the traffic generated by a motel
than that generated by a hotel. As this facility conforms to
the definition of a motel, this is the terminology which will
be used for this Report.
"Trip Generation" indicates that a generation rate of
10.14 trips per day per occupied room is what can be expected
by a motel. Recently obtained information on motel room
occupancy rates in Palm Beach County indicate that an annual,
average occupancy rate of 72% has been experienced. Assuming
that there will be continued growth in the Boy ton Beach area,
this Report has used a room occupancy rate of 80%, or a rate
8% higher than what has been recently experienced.

The 51 slip marina will be used strictly for the storage
of privately owned boats. No commercial fishing or charter
boats are expected to be based at this facility nor will the
marina allow owners to live aboard the boats while they are
docked at this facility. Thus, it is not expected that boats
docked at this facility will be used but once or twice a week
and the use will mostly be during the weekend.
Thus, the traffic expected to be generated by this
mixed-use facility is:
26,376 s.f. Retail @ 100 tpd/l,OOO s.f. = 2638 tpd
8,570 s.f. Office @ 18 tpd/l,OOO s.f. = 154 tpd
150 room Motel @ 10.14 tpd/room = 1247 tpd
12,800 s.f. Restaurant @ 74.9 tpd/l,OOO s.f. = 959 tpd
51 slip Marina @ 0.5 tpd/slip = 26 tpd
TOTAL GENERATION 5024 tpd
As the Water's Edge Marina is a mixed-use commercial
project, there will be a certain amount of internally
generated traffic which will not exit the project boundaries.
In order to present a realistic estimate of the external
traffic generated by this project, the internal traffic should
be subtracted from the total project traffic. For the
purposes of this Report, an internal - internal split shall be
assumed to be 5% of the total traffic generated. Thus, the
total external, average, daily traffic expected to be
generated by this proposed project is 4,796 trips per day.
-4-
TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION
For this mixed-use commercial project, separate
distributions for each land use were prepared according to a
gravity distribution using existing and proposed land use
patterns within this project's proposed service area and from
~ an observation of existing travel patterns. This distribution
was done using projected population patterns for the year
1995, as prepared by the Palm Beach County Area Planning
Board. The traffic distribution for this project was then
calculated and is shown below:
RETAIL &
MARINA OFFICE RESTAURANT MOTEL TOTAL
NORTH 30% 19% 23% 13% 22.2%
EAST 6% 7% 12% 5% 11.2%
SOUTH 31% 24% 24% 21% 23.0%
WEST 33% 50% 41% 61% 43.6%
As indicated earlier in this Report, it has not been
determined whether Boynton Beach Boulevard will be extended
easterly to provide access to this site. For the purposes of
this Report, this Report will analyze the effect that this
project will have on the adjacent roadway system for (1)
assuming that Boynton Beach Boulevard is not extended to the
site, and; (2) assuming that Boynton Beach Boulevard is
extended to the site.
-5-
TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT
...
This distributed traffic was then assigned to the
available roadway network for both alternatives. This
assignment was based upon a review of the existing and
proposed roadway network in the study area of this project and
from an observation of existing travel patterns. Figure 3
shows the distributed traffic on the roadways in the project
study area assuming Boynton Beach Boulevard is not extended.
Figure 3A shows the distributed traffic assuming Boynton Beach
Boulevard is extended.
EFFECT ON ROADWAY CAPACITY
A project that creates a "Significant Impact" can be
classified as either "Category A", "Category B", or "Category
Cu. A "Significant Impact" is defined by the Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance as volumes in excess of 5% of
the capacity of a two lane roadway, 4% of the capacity of a
four lane roadway and 3% of the capacity of a six lane
roadway. Further details on the definition of "Significant
Impact" are found in Appendix A. Brief definitions of
"Categories A, B & C" are given in Appendix B.
A "Category A" Petition is a petition which creates a
"Significant Impact" on a roadway link which has an existing
volume in excess of its capacity at Level of Service "D".
(Capacity of roadways at Level of Service "C" and "D" are
shown in Appendix C and D).
Figure 2 shows the existing volumes and the capacity
volume of that segment of roadway at Level of Service "D".
From Figure 2, it can be seen that the following roadway
segments have existing volumes in excess of their capacity of
Level of Service "D":

Comparing the roadway links shown in Table 1 with Table 2
and Table 2A, it is concluded that this project does not
create a "Significant Impact" on any segment of a roadway
which has existing volumes in excess of capacity at Level of
Service "D" regardless whether Boynton Beach Boulevard is
extended to the site or not. Thus, according to the Palm
..
Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance, this
project cannot be classified as being a "Category A"
development.
A "Category B" Petition can be classified as a project
that creates a "Significant Impact" on a roadway for which the
Total Traffic is in excess of the capacity of Level of Service
"D" for that link. The background traffic for the roadway
links in the study area were compiled from information
obtained from the Palm Beach County Traffic Division. Figures

From a comparison of information shown in Tables 2 and 2A
with Table 3, it is concluded that this project does create a
"Significant Impact" on several roadway links in which the
Total Traffic exceeds capacity. This project is classified as
a "Category B" development according to the Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance.
A "Category B" project may be approved providing that a
project does not exceed two thresholds. The first is that a
project does not create more than 10% of the capacity of a
roadway which has a total volume in excess of capacity.
Reviewing the volumes in Figure 3, it is shown that this
project, with access only to Ocean Avenue, will create volumes
in excess of 10% of capacity of Ocean Avenue from the project
to u.S. 1. From Figure 3A, this project, with Boynton Beach
Boulevard extended to the site, is expected to generate more
than 10% of the capacity on the link of Boynton Beach
Boulevard between the project and u.S. 1. As the total
traffic for both of these roadway links are below the
roadway's capacity, this project does not exceed this
threshold.
. The second threshold is that a project does not create
more than 20% of the capacity on any roadway. As this project
does not generate more than 20% of the capacity of any
roadway, it is concluded that this project does not exceed
this threshold.

PEAK HOUR
The distributed and assigned traffic, as calculated
above, were converted to peak hour volumes. The peak hour
generation rates for this project have been determined for
each proposed use according to criteria presented in "Trip
Generation - Third Edition". These peak hour generation rates
have been calculated as follows:
TOTAL IN OUT
TRIPS TRIPS TRIPS
Retail - 10% of ADT = .1(2560) = 256 123 133
Office - 15% of ADT = .15(144) = 22 4 18

Intersection capacity analyses have been prepared for the
intersection of N.E. 6th Street and Ocean Avenue, U.S. 1 and
Ocean Avenue and U.S. 1 and Boynton Beach Boulevard. The
Critical Movement Analyses prepared by this office were done
according to procedures and criteria established in
Transportation Research Circular No. 212, "Interim Materials
on Highway Capacity", Transportation Research Board, 1980.

These analyses
improvements will be
extended. If Boynton
is recommended that:
conclude that no additional roadway
required if Boynton Beach Boulevard is
Beach Boulevard is not extended, then it
1) a left turn lane be constructed on N.E. 6th
Street at the intersection with Ocean Avenue.
The present right-of-way width for N.E. 6th Street is not
adequate to allow for the proposed widening. Additional
right-of-way will have to be provided on the west side of N.E.
6th Street in order to construct this turn lane.
This office did look into the desirability of installing
a traffic signal at the intersection of Ocean Avenue and N.E.
6th Street. Our analysis concludes that there is not expected
to be sufficient traffic generated to meet the minimum traffic
signal warrants. Thus, the installation of a traffic signal
at this intersection will not be a recommendation of this
Report.
CONCLUSIONS
This multi-use commercial project is expected to generate
an average of 4,796 trips per day at such time that this
facility is fully occupied. According to the Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance, this project is classified as
a "Category B" project. As this project does not generate
more than 10% of the capacity of a roadway where the total
traffic exceeds capacity or more than 20% of the capacity on
any roadway link in the study area, it is concluded that this
project can be approved in accordance with the Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance.

This Study analyzed both alternatives concerning the
extension of Boynton Beach Boulevard. It has been
demonstrated that this project does not have a deleterious
effect on roadways within the project's study area and that
this project can be approved regardless of whether Boynton
Beach Boulevard is extended to the site or not.
