Attn: Ms. Tambri J. Hayden, Planning Director
RE: Boynton Commerce Center PJ.D. - Height Exception
Dear Ms. Hayden:
AT & T Wireless Services, a major cellular telephone provider for this area, currently has
offices at the Boynton Commerce Center. In conjunction with, and as an accessory use
to, those facilities they are seeking approval to construct a monopole type
communications tower and an unmanned equipment building on a portion of this site.
In order to move forward with this expansion of their facilities in the City of Boynton
Beach we are, on behalf of AT & T Wireless Services, requesting a Height Exception to
allow the construction of a 100 ft. (above grade) monopole communications tower at the
Boynton Commerce Center P.I.D. The proposed facility (tower and unmanned equipment
building), will be located in the southeast quadrant of the development property. This
location will afford the best buffering to the surrounding areas. South of the site is the
Golf Road (S,W. 23rd Avenue) overpass for 1-95 and the railroad; to the east is the
railroad right-of-way and an undeveloped park tract (which borders 1-95 on the east side
of the park tract); to the north is the existing Boynton Commerce Center facilities
(warehouse, offices and manufacturing); and to the west is an undeveloped parcel within
the development which will contain similar buildings/uses to the existing areas noted
above. Also, along the west boundary of the Commerce Center parcel is a mature
landscape buffer with large trees and the Lake Worth Drainage District E-4 canal.
As noted in the City of Boynton Beach Codes the application for Height Exception must,
where applicable, meet a set of standards. Those standards and our conformance with
them is as follows:
a. The proposed 100 ft. monopole tower will not have an adverse effect on the
existing and proposed land uses. This facility will be within a Planned
Industrial Park and will be compatible with that area.

b. In order to better serve this geographical area, the location and height of
this tower is required. The use of cellular telephones by both the general
public and governmental agencies is growing rapidly. Used for emergency,
business, and personal calls, this service is a vital link in the
communications network.
c. The proposed monopole tower will cause little to no reduction in the light
and air circulation to surrounding areas,
d. This approval will not impact the ability to develop the adjacent properties.
As noted previously, the undeveloped parcel to the east (east of the existing
railroad) is a park site; south is the Golf Road overpass which is elevated
significantly above the subject site; north is the existing Commerce Center
(developed) and west will be future Commerce Center construction.
e. Because of the distance to surrounding developed areas and the buffering
that exists between them and this facility, is not likely that this use will have
any impact on those property values, The value of the undeveloped park
to the east will not be impacted by this use.
f. The tower will be located in a Planned Industrial Park. No residences exist
in this development. As noted above, there should be no impact on the
surrounding areas.
g. A height exception for this use (cellular communications tower) has
previously been granted in the City of Boynton Beach. It will not be a
special privilege and will in fact help to serve the public as noted above.
h. As noted in Item b above, the construction and height of the tower is
required to provide service to this area.
i. We will comply with the City's request for this if requested.
Based on the information presented herein it is our opinion that the proposed height
exception meets with the standards established by the City.

Inclusion of the proposed communications facilities use at the Boynton Commerce Center
will enable AT & T Wireless Services to proceed with the planning and approval process
for this expansion to their facilities. We are requesting that this height exception be
considered for approval by the City.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or require additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,

Mr. Ahrens agreed with all of staffs comments. However, with regard to comment 25, he asked
for clarification regarding where staff wants the slatting. Mr, Ahrens believes it is required from

northeast comer of the property back to where the scrub pine is going to be preserved. This was
acceptable to Ms. Heyden.
