Re: Knuth Rd. Gas & Oil- File No. 99-012
Dear Mr. Mitnik:
In response to your request to modify the Knuth Road service station Site Plan, to add awnings
at each end of the car wash tunnel, I am responding affirmatively; however, with conditions.
As discussed during a site visit on August 21 st, you must place movement markings and signage
to prevent excessive entrance stacking and interference with vehicles entering the site from
Boynton Beach Boulevard. This signage must be placed so as not to confuse entering traffic, to
direct patrons to the parking area, and stress the issue of safety to those patrons seeking a place
in the car wash lane.
Please either submit a version of the modified plans showing the location of both pavement
markings and signage or manually place same on the plans previously submitted for this request.
When you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact Jim Nguyen or myself at (561)742-
6267.
Sincerely,
7~z-

Dear Mr. Rumpf;
This letter is in response to our conversation yesterday, August 1 ath,
regarding permit application number 99-2653. I understand your concerns
regarding the car wash stacking. Our conveyor and the type of service we
provide have a check & balance so that no more then 2 cars are being
worked on at the drying area. At the car prepping station (entrance) we
vacuum and prep the car for the tunnel wash, this procedure takes roughly 3-
5 minutes, at the drying area (exit) we dry the car and finalize all detailing,
this procedure takes roughly 4 minutes. As a car is passing through the
tunnel another is departing from the drying area. I have placed anti-collision
mats at the exit of the car wash so that in case a car is delayed for any reason
in the drying area the car in the tunnel will be delayed from exiting.
I know of at least four car wash's that have less footage of drying area
then we do and have a canopy covering both the entrance and exit of their
car wash. 1) Mobil station in West Delray.
2) Mobil station on Biscayne Blvd & 190th Street.
3) Shell station on Sterling.
4) Amoco station on Hallandale Blvd.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter,
(561)374-5528.
Alex Mitn k
General Manager
PS: As I mentioned to you, during our phone conversation, I have 4-6 people
working outside in the car wash, they are uncovered to the elements and I
am worried that someone will get a heat stroke from the suns rays. Less
important but equally concerning is the fact that the car wash is recessed
behind our convenience store, therefore it is almost invisible to the traffic
traveling west.

All Cars In-Front
of this sign are to proceed
to the nearest parking space
to await for service.
Thank Yon

Re: Knuth Gas & Oil
Application No. 99-2653
We would like to apply for a minor site plan modification on the Knuth Gas
and Oil Service Station for the installation of two fabric awnings.
The awnings would be installed at the entrance and exit to the automated car
wash for preping the cars.
The awnings are a metal frame construction and will be covered with white
colored fabric.
Sincerely,
c~~
