Attention: Mr. Delfin F. M:mendez
Re: Boynton Nurseries P.U.D.
Dear Mr. Menendez:
I am in receipt of your February 2, 1990 correspondence regarding the cul-de-sac
roadway within the proposed Boynton Nurseries P.U.D., your Job #89-1700-013-00.
I concur with your position that the cul-de-sac roadway length is to be measured
frc:m the last available intersecting roadway (or driveway) that will afford
vehicular traffic a suitable radius in which the direction of traffic flow can
safely be reversed. The total roadway length would therefore be measured frc:m
this point to the terminal end of the cul-de-sac (confined traffic lanes).
Considering the cont:eptual aspects of the re-zoning, pre-hearing meeting held
at our City I s off ices on February I, 1990, Code of Ordinance compliance relative
to cul-de-sac roadway lengths greater than 1320 feet, will be determined by the
intersecting roadways and driveways as shown on Development plans suJ::mi tted
during preliminary plat stages.

Dear Bob:
This letter will confirm a series of recent conversations and
meetings that we have had regarding the Boynton Nurseries PUD.
The expiration date for filing the preliminary plat is March 5,
1993. Please note this is a filing date not a completion date.
Any pod within the plat can be developed. However, access must
be provided within acceptable rights of way or easements and such
improvements will be reviewed as part of the pod submission.
Once a plat is approved, the entire development is vested for
concurrency. This concurrency vesting does not expire.
For filing the preliminary plat of any pod, you will need to
submit the drawings required in Appendix C, Article VIII,
Section 5 of the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances (page
2100-2103). Before filing, I would meet with the City Engineer
to determine if there are any conditions from the PUD approval
that must be met with the preliminary plat.
The proposed park must be dedicated with the first plat. It does
not have to be part of the plat, but can be dedicated by separate
document.
All recreation facilities must be built with the first plat.
However, I would suggest that you contact John Wildner in the
Recreation and Parks Department to discuss phasing the
improvements. This proposal could be made to the City as part of
a preliminary plat submittal.

Re: Proposed 82 Acre Residential P.U.D. Annexation
Boynton Beach
Dear Mr. Rossi:
This letter is in response to your letter, dated February 16, 1990, concerning the
Authority's ability to provide waste disposal capacity for the above-referenced development.
The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County is in the process of implementing
its Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. This Plan is designed to accommodate
the county's waste disposal requirements through build out and beyond. The Plan envisions
the development of two major resource recovery facilities with associated sanitary landfills
and a series of six solid waste transfer stations.
At the present time, all solid waste in Palm Beach County is disposed of at either
the Dyer Boulevard landfill or the North County Resource Recovery Facility.
The North County Resource Recovery Facility is now operational and the Solid
Waste Authority has one-half of its planned system on line and operating. Based upon the
through-put capacity of the hcility and. associated landf~lls, the Authority will b~, ablp. to
adequately manage and provide disposal capacity for the county's waste disposal
requirements through the year 2000.
As additional facilities are added to the system and the recycling program is
integrated, our ability to manage the wastestream and provide disposal capacity will be
extended accordingly.

Dear Mr. Rossi:
SUBJECT: Proposed annexation of 83.85 acre parcel owned by
Boynton Nurseries
Under the concurrency management guidelines of Chapter 9J-5,
Florida Administrative Code " and in accordance with the City's
comprehensive plan, we must be able to demonstrate that the
service for water and sewer will not decrease below adopted
levels, Insofar as the referenced project is concerned, we
believe that the City will have sufficient water and sewage
treatment capability to serve 86 units in 1991 and the remain-
ing 316 units in 1993, if current plans for water treatment
expansion are realized.
The City Commission has authorized expenditures to uprate the
east ~reatment facility. Although this project has not been
awarded yet, we expect the uprating to be completed by mid to
late 1991. Until such time as a signed contract with a firm
completion date is obtained, we can only give conditional assur-
ance that capacity will be available in the time frame you
described. However, we should 'have more definite dates on
construction by the time Pod E is ready for platting, at which
time we will make a concurrency determination. Sewage treatment
capacity is existing for the projected flows at this time.
Please refer any questions on this matter to Peter Mazzella.

Dear Mr. Nave:
Accompanying this correspondence you will find the information
requested in your letter dated January 11, 1990, to complete the
transmittal of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment known as "Boynton
Nurseries." In addition to the ten copies of the enclosed
information describing the availability. of and the demand on
sanitary sewer, solid waste, drainage, potable water, traffic
circulation and recreation, please be advised of the following:
1) The proposed month of adoption will be based on favorable
completion of the 90 day review period. It is anticipated
that second reading of the ordinances to annex, amend the
future land use element and rezone will occur within two to
three months of notification from your agency of successful
completion of the 90 day review period. Assuming that the
material and information contained within this transmittal
are sufficient, it is anticipated that the ordinances to
annex, amend the future land use element and rezone will
occur in September, 1990.
2) The December 28, 1989 transmittal is the first Comprehensive
Plan amendment for calendar year 1990.
3) The recommendations from the Local Planning Agency and the
Local Governing Body are contained in the minutes of the
Planning and Zoning Board meeting of December 12, 1989 and
the City Commission meeting of December 19, 1989. Ten
copies of these minutes are enclosed.

Modifications to the master plan regarding types of units take
between four and eight weeks to be completed. Preliminary plats
also take about the same amount of time. The procedures for
these can be done concurrently.
If you desire to transfer units between pods, a master plan
modification would be required. As long as the net density for
the entire PUD is not increased, moving some units should not be
a problem.
I hope this letter is of some help to you. If you should have
any questions regarding this information, please feel free to
call me.

RE: Boynton Nurseries PUD
Addendum to Traffic Impact Analysis
Dear Tim:
Please accept this letter as an Addendum to the Traffic Impact
Analysis prepared for the Boynton Nurseries PUD.
At the Zoning and Planning Board meeting Tuesday evening, March
13, 1990, it was recommended that the issuance of building per-
mits for this project be phased such that no phase will generate
more than a 1% impact on any roadway which has a total volume in
excess of capacity.
To meet this requirement, this office has prepared the following
phasing schedule:
A) The project shall be limited to that number of building
permits which would generate not more than 2,210 trips per day
until construction has commenced on the five laning of Old Boyn-
ton Road, between Lawrence Road and Knuth Road.
B) The project shall be limited to that number of building
permits which would generate not more than 2,518 trips per day
until construction has commenced on the six laning of Congress
Avenue, from N.W. 22nd Avenue to Boynton Beach Boulevard.
C) The project shall be limited to that number of building
permits which would generate not more than 2,690 trips per day
until construction has commenced on the six laning of Boynton
Beach Boulevard, from I-95 to Old Boynton Road. llJE<:JEI"JEI)

Dear Mr. Cannon:
It is my understanding that the property owned by Boynton Nurseries
is in the process of being annexed into the city of Boynton Beach
and will be developed as a PUD after the annexation takes place.
I am writing this letter on behalf of the residents who will still
be in the unincorporated area to the west of the proposed
annexation.
The neighboring county residents are concerned about an entrance
to the PUD off of Sunup Trail. They do not want an entrance to a
major development unduly impacting the roads they have to use.
My Aide, Michael Bornstein, has been in contact with your office
and he indicated to me that the entrance will be for emergency
vehicles only and will be closed to traffic by a chain suspended
between two posts. The county residents would be comfortable with
that arrangement and I respectfully request that it be included on
the site plan and conditions of approval.
If you require additional information, please contact my office at
355-2203.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
~

Re: Traffic Impact Review - Boynton Nurseries PUD
Attn: Mr. Jim Golden
Dear Mr. Cannon:
Per the City's request the proposed phasing plan for the Boynton Beach Nurseries
PU 0 has been reviewed, The proposal has been reviewed for conformance with the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards in effect at the time of submittal.
The proposed phasing of the Boynton Nurseries PUD should remain within 1 % of
overcapacity roadways until such time as those roadways are improved is in
Conformance with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. However,
based on the Applicant's traffic study the phasing schedule should be revised, The
following schedule is applicable:
· The site may generate up to 61 % of total trips (2,000) before
improvement is required on Congress Avenue from NW 22nd Avenue to
Old Boynton Road.
· The site may generate up to 70% of total trips (2,300) before
improvement is required on Congress Avenue from Old Boynton Road
to Boynton Beach Boulevard.
· The site may generate up to 79% of total trips (2,624) before
improvement is required on Old Boynton Road from Knuth Road to
Lawrence Road,
The site may generate up to 84% of total trips (2,760) before
improvement is required on Boynton Beach Boulevard from Old Boynton
Road to 1-95. Note this phase is based on the Applicant's assignment
to Old Boynton Road and Boynton Beach Boulevard west of Old
Boynton Road and a 10% drop-off rate,

TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT REVIEW REPORT
CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH
Backaround
On January 10, 1990, the Department of Community Affairs
issued a notice of intent to find the ADOPTED comprehensive
plan for the City of Boynton Beach not in compliance,
pursuant to Section 163.3184, F.S. As part of this finding,
the City plan was found to be inconsistent with the Regional
Plan. The amendment proposed by the City is not related to
a Stipulated Settlement Agreement between the City and the
DCA.
The ci ty of Boynton Beach is considering one amendment to
the Future Land Use Element. The location of the property
under consideration is shown on the accompanying map, and
the number of acres and proposed changes in land use
designations are as follows:

Evaluation
The proposed amendment has been reviewed in accordance with
the requirements of Chapter 163, F.S.; Council's review
procedures; and Council's adopted Regional Comprehensive
Policy Plan. The following evaluation is offered as a
result of that review.
This property has been proposed for annexation and is
currently occupied by a plant nursery. The annexation and
change in land use to incorporate the property onto the
Boynton Beach Future Land Use Map would allow low density
residential development at 4.84 units per acre in accordance
with the City's adopted comprehensive plan. Under the
current County designation, the western portion of the
property (approximately 21 acres) could be developed at up
to three dwelling units per acre and the eastern portion at
1
"
.,
....,
"""\
up to five dwelling units per acre. The proposed change
represents an increase in allowable density of approximately
27 dwelling units.
The proposed low density residential land use designation
appears to be compatible with the surrounding single family
dwelling units and mobile homes, and land designated as
medium density residential to the south. Centralized water
and sewer services are available to the property and the
developer will be required to dedicate acreage for
recreation in accordance with the City's adopted
comprehensive plan. No building permi ts will be issued
unless identified roadway improvements are in the County's
Five-year Transportation Improvement prog-ramor developer
commitments have been assured.
The County has expressed some concern that this proposed
annexation may not meet the compactness provisions of the
state law (171.031, F.S.) regarding annexations (see
attached letter dated April 18 from Dennis R. Foltz, AICP,
Planning Director). However, the property is within the
City'S future annexation area and is also within the City's
utilities service area.

Several samples of soil were taken throughout the site and the
findings were consistent with those of the Detailed Soil Survey
of Palm Beach County (see enclosed map for sampling locations and
approximate soil delineations).
OLDSMAR SAND (Os)
This is a nearly level, poorly drained soil that has a dark colored,
weakly ce~ented layer below a depth of 30 inches over a loamy layer.
It is in broad, flatwood areas. These soils are saturated for long
periods during the wet season. Depressions are ponded from 6 to 9
months in 'most years under natural conditions. The water table can
recede to below 40 inches during periods of extended drought.
The natural vegetation is saw palmetto, slash pine, cabbage palm,
inkberry, southern bayberry with an undergrowth of pineland three-awn,
blue maidencane, fetterbush, broomsedge, bluestem and a variety of
other grasses. Some areas are in cultivated crops and improved
pasture.
If irrigation water is available, this soil is moderately well suited
to vegetables. Intensive management and a very careful control of the
water table level are essential. This soil is poorly suited to citrus.
Poor drainage, rapid leaching of plant nutrients and droughtiness
affect the growth of citrus. If the groves are well managed and there
is a properly designed water control system, citrus can be grown
successfully.

reddish brown fine sand about 7 inches thick. The water table is within
10 inches of the surface for 2 to 6 months in most years and within 10
to 30 inches for the rest of the year.
The natural vegetation is St. Johnswort, slash pine, southern bayberry

Dear Mr. Cannon;
This will confirm the request which we made to you recently
in our phone conversation wherein we requested that the subject
rezoning petition be postponed and readvertised so that it will be
heard by the City in March 1990. This request is due to the fact
that the advertisement published by the city incorrectly indicated
that the property was currently zoned AG in the city, when in fact
it is zoned AR by Palm Beach County.
Thank you for your cooperation in this regard.

SITE DESCRIPTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Boynton Nursery is developed as a nursery operation, containing
native, exotic and ornamental vegetation. The area is drained and
altered from natural conditions. The investigation took place on
December 14, 1989 and covered approximately 84 acres. The report
is divided into two sections due to the contrasting features of
the site. ' .
Se.ction One:
This area contains the nursery operation (see enclosed map).
There are three lateral ditches that run north-south, located
about every 330 feet and are 1320 feet in length. There the
nursery plants are bedded in rows. The office and greenhouses are
found north of the bedded area.
Section Two:
This section is located to the southwest of section one. It
consists 'of basic vegetation consistent with South Florida
Flatwoods Ecological Communities. The canopy vegetation
encompasses about 65% of the section and consists mainly of slash
pines. The southern boundary contained a large population of
Brazilian,pepper and castor bean along with late thoroughwort. At
the southwest corner, construction of a pipe crossing over LWDD
#21 was currently being developed. The western border contained a
large live oak (14" DBH) and cabbage palms.
In the interior of section two was found an old homesite with
some rather large concrete/metal bar structures precariously
exposed along with roofing material and corrugated metal. The
vegetation surrounding this site was exotic and ornamental
varieties, along with coconut, American holly, Australian pine,
melaleuca (seedlings to large mature trees), and oaks. The area
around the 'homesite suffers from fire damage, as may well have
been the case of the homesite itself. Most of the canopy
vegetation seemed to have survived the burn, although many slash
pines have died.
To the north of the homesite was found a depressional area with
little or no canopy vegetation. Most of the vegetation was
groundcover which consisted mainly of late thoroughwort,
goldenrod, various grasses and sedges, and Caesar weed. The
depression is surrounded by slash pine, melaleuca, oak and
cabbage palms. There also was found American holly, guava and
stoppers scattered throughout the area.
The eastern section was burdened by the presence of Brazilian
pepper and Acacia, both trees are susceptible to windthrow. The
area along the southeastern section is ' presently being cleared
.~ of vegetation.

VEGETATIO~
Described below are several of the predominate plants which are
found in section two. A description of the identifying
characteristics of the vegetation and some uses for the plants
are given.' Other vegetation was found on the site but not in
significant quantities ~o warrant an individual description. Due
to the exotic/ornamental nature of vegetation found in the
nursery, none is listed in the report.
** Indicates predominate vegetation found on the site. Underlin-
ing indicates vegetation which could be incorporated into the
landscape design while requiring a minimum of maintenance, care
and irrigation depending upon it's site location.
GROUNDCOVER:
Cordgrass (Spartina bakeri) Cordgrass has stout culms 1-2 m.
tall growing in large dense clusters. One of the characteristics
of this species of cordgrass is its absence of creeping, scaly
rhizomes. Long ascending leaf blades, 10-20 em long and 4-8 mm
wide, are usually involuted or with inward roll.ed margins giving
it a cylindrical appearance. Spikelets, 6-8 mm long, are one-
flowered and consist of a second glume about one-third the length
of the first glume. The rootstocks of cord grass are an important
food source for waterfowl. The seeds are sparsely eaten by
various ducks, marshbirds and songbirds, but provide the main
diet of the sharp-tailed and seaside sparrows. Cordgrass is
generally found in sandy soils, but also within freshwater
marshes and prairies.
Rosary Pea (Abrus precatorius) - This delicate looking vine has
small lavender or white pea-like flowers and brilliantly colored,
hard red and black fruit. These fruits contain such a virulent
poison that even one can be fatal if chewed and swallowed. They
can apparently be swallowed with immunity if the seed coat is
unbroken, but this practice is obviously highly risky. Because
of their attractive appearance, the seeds have been strung to
make novelty jewelry. This should not be done because a skin
prick during the stringing process can cause acute blood poison-
ing.
Sawbrier (Smilax laurifolia) This vine has thorny stems that
are sometimes as thick as two inches at the base. The leaves are
prominent longitudinal veins that run parallel to each other like
railroad tracks. The tiny flowers develop into small, black
fruits that are eaten by birds. The young, green shoots are
tender and succulent. This plant is important as a food source
for deer and other herbivores.
For: Delfin Menendez
Re: Vegetative Assessment
Location: Boynton Nursery
Page 4
File #: 89-75
Sedge (Cyperus retrorsus) This groundcover usually has
triangular stems that distinguish them from the round-stemmed
grasses. This plant is generally wind pollinated and have minute
flowers.
Wild or Muscadine Grape (Vitis rotundifolia) - This is not a
shrub but covers many of the plants on the site. It is a common
woody vin~ that can g~ow on the ground or can climb trees and
shrubs. This species has comparatively large (about one-half
inch in diameter), sweet tasting fruits whi~h are edible. Young
leaves and stems can be cooked as greens. Old grape stems will
yield sap for drinking. This plant provides food for a variety
of wild life.
Wandering, Jew (Zebrina pendula) This plant is a perenni al,
succulent herb with weak, trailing and branching, purple stems
which take root at the nodes. The tips turn upward, reaching a
height of 4 to 8 inches. The leaves are alternate, ovate to
ovate-oblong, pointed and 1 to 3 inches long. The leaves are
basically' green and usually striped with white, silver or purple
on the upper surface, entirely purple and either smooth or downy
on the undersides. The flowers are tubular, whitish with three
rose-purple lobes and are borne singly or in pairs which open in
the morning and close before afternoon.
SHRUBS:
Beauty Berry (Callicarpa americana) This plant is easily
identified by its compact lavendar pink to purple fruit clusters
which give this plant its name. The raw fruits are said to be
edible, but are not recommended because of their insipid,
astringent taste. Birds and other animals eat them. Deer feed
on the leaves.
Caesar's Weed (Urena lobata) - This plant can be an herb or a
shrub up to a height of nine feet. The small pink flowers
resemble Hibiscus to which they are related. Bristly fruits
catch on clothing or animal fur. The strong fiber characteri~tic
of many plants in this family, can be seen if one attempts to
break a stem. Cordage and coarse sacking are made from these
plants in other countries.
Castor Bean (Ricinus communis) - This large herb or shrub can
grow rapidly to 16 feet tall. A white, waxy coating covers the
green or reddish stems. The leaves have prominent star-shaped
ribs. Greenish-white or reddish-brown flower clusters are
produced at the ends of the branches throughout .the year. Oval
seed pods are covered with stiff, fleshy spines. Seeds ar8
usually mottled white and black. Their resemblance to ticks is
reflected in the fact that Ricinus is also a genus of ticks. All

parts of the plant are poisonous to people and livestock. Castor
oil and lubricating oils are extracted from the seeds. The
material remaining after oil extraction has been used as a
fertilizer
*Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) This plant is a sprawling,
branching dense shrub that seldom reaches more than six feet in
height. Leaves of the 'saw palmetto are smaller and more circular
than those of the cabbage palm and they lack a central midrib.
The foliage is a silvery-white or sometimes cloudy blue-green or
green. The trunk is usually creeping and copiously rooted on the
underside. The saw palmetto tends to form dense thickets. These
areas make an excellent habitat for wildlife. Many parts of this
plant are edible.
CANOPY/TOPSTORY:
American Holly (Ilex opaca) A small or medium sized tree,
commonly 30' to 50' in height and l' to 2' in diameter, with
tapering bole clothed in short, slender, somewhat contorted
branches, forming a more or less pyramidal crown. The leaves are
alternate, simple, leathery, oblong-ovate, 2" to 4" long, 1" to
2" wide, wavy margins with sharp-pointed spines. The fruit is
spherical, red, berry-like drupe, about 1/4" in diameter,
containing several prominently ribbed, I-seeded nutlets. Found on
rich, moist, bottom lands, borders of swamps, and dry but we11-
protected slopes: frequently found on sandy soils near the coast.
Australian Pine (Casuarina equisetifo1ia) This large, fast-
growing tree can rapidly invade many areas. The needles are
slender, jointed branches. The fruits resemble small, compressed
cones about one-half inch wide. The mat of branches or needles
on the ground apparently gives off a chemical that inhibits the
growth of other kinds of plants. This tree is subject to
windthroe due to its shallow root system and the heights it
obtains.
**Brazi1ian Pepper (Schinus terebinthifo1ius) - This tree can
grow to a height of 40 feet. It is densely foliaged,low-branch-
ing, bushy and spreading to equal width. This tree is a fast
growing, pestiferous tree that is very difficult to cut down due
to its immense tangle of intertwining branches. All parts of
this tree contain resin which produces dermatitis especially if
the plant is in full bloom. It is a common cause of a fine rash,
respiratory irritation, headaches and sneezing.
*Cabbage Palm (Sabal palmetto): This palm is the state tree of
Florida and grows to approximately 80 feet high. The leaves are
fan-shaped and slightly folded, with a curved midrib through the
center. Because of its long life and hardiness the Cabbage Palm

is an excellent landscape tree. Large trees can be successfully
transplanted with proper techniques and equipment. It is well
adapted to the droughty/wet cycle of weather in Florida.
Earleaf acacia (Acacia auriculaeformis) - The acacia tree grows
to a height of 30 feet. It is a handsome medium sized tree
suitable for lawn or street planting. It is especially good for
poor, dry soils and is'semi-deciduous. This tree is sometimes
subject to windthroe, it is brittle and will break up during a
windstorm but recovers quickly. This tree has a very fast rate
of growth which makes it desirable for landscape use.
Guava (Psidium guajava) - Originally from tropical America, this
treee is now well established in South Florida. It often forms
thickets in roadside ditches or low, wet areas. The flowers are
white with a central yellow and white tuft. The fruit is round
or pear-shaped with yellow skin covering a thin layer of firm
flesh and soft central pulp. Wild varieties are usually sour,
but are rich in vitamin C and can be cooked or used in jelly.
The leaves can be used as tea or for seasoning.
Melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) - This tree can grow to 80 to
100 feet in size. This tree is a common respiratory irritant,
and individuals may experience a fine, burning rash accompanied
by headaches and nausea after exposure to the trees. Some people
develop asthma-like symptoms when there is a flush of new
foliage. A swamp tree in Southeast Asia and Australia, it has
been spreading through South Florida for over 80 years.
Oak (Quercus virginiana) The oak is a long lived tree of
striking features and massive proportions. Though it exhibits a
variety of growth habits, the more interesting trees have a short
truck three to four feet in diameter dividing into several large
limbs with nearly horizontal branches. These branches spread
wide forming a low crown reaching 100 feet or more across and 40
to 50 feet in height. The oak is a very valuable and useful
landscape plant.. Though slow growing in the wild, it develops
surprisingly fast with little care in the landscape. They are
tolerant of salt and though preferring a fairly dry area, they
will grow well on the lower ridges. The acorns produced by this
tree are a ,source of food for wildlife and can be eaten by humans
is prepared correctly.
**Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) The slash pine tree is very
beneficial to wildlife both for habitat and as a food source.
The tree is an excellent landscape tree which requires little
maintenance, in fact excessive maintenance and care can be
detrimental for the tree. Any excessive traffic or parking of
construction equipment over the root system of the trees can
cause damage to the tree.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
Trees in the landscape provide scale, framing, screening or
privacy, modify climate, reduce glare, diminish air and noise
pollution, and make the environment more pleasant and healthful.
Deciduous trees shade in the summer and let in warming winter sun
when their leaves are gone. Trees also cool through the process
of evaporation. A singl~, properly watered tree can have an
estimated cooling effect of more than a million BTU's, exceeding
the 'output rating of many room air conditioners.
Leaves and twigs capture airborne dust and dirt particles and
hold them for the next rain to wash away. The result is cleaner
air and house. The human comfort level for noise is between 35
to 40 decibels, yet noise of street traffic often registers 70 or
even 90 decibels. A dense strip of vegetation along a busy
roadway can block out up to 60% of traffic noise.
For trees and vegetation to be effective, care must be taken in
their placement. A tree in the wrong place can interfere with
utility lines, break up pavement, clog drains or sewer lines,
dangerously screen traffic signs, driveways, or oncoming automo-
bile traffic, limit access to buildings or block the free flow of
air, creating stagnant, humid conditions around the house.
Trees and vegetation to be preserved or planted should be chosen
for their compatibility with the natural conditions -- soil,
wetness, shade, etc. surrounding the property. Native
vegetation can be used for beautification and requires a minimum
amount of effort to establish and maintain. They are also very
conservative in their consumption of water during times of
drought. Many native plants will encourage birds and wildlife to
visit and establish nesting sites in your yard for your education
and enjoyment.
CONSTRUCTION DAMAGE
Trees are susceptible to several types of construction damage,
including soil compaction; excessive fill during grading; and
cutting of roots during excavation. To prevent damage from soil
compaction, clearly mark the trees you want to save prior to
construction and erect a barrier or fence at the dripline. If a
fence is not possible, at least install stakes connected with
fluorescent surveyor's tape. Keep all vehicles out of the marked
area.
Avoid excessive soil fill over tree roots because it can disturb
the operation of soil microorganisms necessary for nutrient
production; prohibit oxygen penetration to the roots; allow toxic
chemicals and gases to build up within the soil; and raise the

water table, causing the roots to become waterlogged. Some
trees, such as elms, poplars, beeches, dogwoods, tulip poplar,
pines, spruces and pin oak can survive this abuse. Sugar maples,
beeches, dogwoods, tulip poplar, pines, spruces and other oaks
cannot. Remove excessive soil fill within two months or the
trees will die. One preventive measure is to construct a tree
well. The expense is worth it only if the tree is valuable.
Decide if cutting the tree down and planting a new, more desir-
able tree would be wiser.
Finally, catting roots within 15 feet of the trunk is usually
fatal to large or mature trees. Occasionally, young trees will
slowly adjust by allowing numerous branches to die. Keep root
cuts at least 15 feet away from the trunk. Remove injured root
ends, and ,quickly cover them with moist soil. If you must make
the cut closer than 15 feet, consider removing the tree and
planting a new one once grading is completed. By removing the
tree now, you will save yourself the cost of removing it later-
which may include repair costs for resultant damage to the
foundation or pavement.
For further information regarding preservation of trees, etc
contact your local urban forester or tree professional.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The District recommends the groundcover remain in place as long
as possible to prevent wind and soil erosion. Once the ground-
cover is removed, mulch should be placed where appropriate.
After construction, vegetation should be established as soon as
possible. Topsoil should be stockpiled for later use.
As many of the trees as possible should be incorporated into the
landscape design of this facility. Construction equipment and
materials should not be parked or stored under the trees or
within the root zone of the trees to be preserved. Any trees to
be preserved should be clearly indicated and marked to prevent
stockpiling of equipment or parking of vehicles underneath or
within the root zones of these trees.
Many of the trees and shrubs in good condition could be moved.
Contact the local Urban Forester for additional information
regarding procedures, etc.
Removal or transplanting of all trees and shrubs should take
place as early as possible to prevent damage to these plants by
construction equipment. Any damage to the plants will lessen
they chances of survival after transplanting.

Below is a list of persons, agencies and municipalities who are
interested in obtaining vegetation for relocation. It is
suggested that any vegetation which is going to be destroyed in
the course of clearing and building, be donated for relocation to
these agencies.

INTRODUCTION
This office has been retained to prepare a revised Traffic
Impact Anal ysis to address the expected traffic impact from a
proposed 400 unit residential project known as Boynton Nurseries
which is to be located on an 83.85 acre parcel on the west side
of Lawrence Road, north of the Lake Worth Drainage District Canal
L-22, in Section 13, Township 45 South, Range 42 East, in the
unincorporated area of Palm Beach County, Florida. A Petition to
annex this parcel of land into the City of Boynton Beach, Florida
has been previously submitted. Based upon the comments received
dur ing the processing of that annexation request, it has been
decided to further petition the City to rezone this parcel of
land to allow for this residential development.
This Analysis has been performed in order to determine the
volume of traffic expected to be added to the roadway system as a
resul t of the approval of this project, 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
al so been performed in accordance with both the standards and
criteria as established in the Zoning Code of the City of Boynton
Beach and the technical requirements of the Palm Beach County
Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance #87-18.
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 for this office.
SITE INFORMATION
According to the Site Plan, as prepared by MSM Design Group,
a total of 400 residential units consisting of 162 patio homes
and 238 townhomes are planned for this 83.85 acre parcel. The
site plan also reflects that this project will have two (2)
points of access onto Lawrence Road. The northerly driveway will
align directly with the entrance road to the Citrus Glen Develop-
ment. The southerly driveway will align directly with the en-
trance road to the Citrus Park Elementary School.
A future third access has been proviaed for on the site
plan. A street connection has been shown onto future Old Mili-
tary Trail. This roadway presently does not physically exist,
nor is it this developer's intent to rely on or to construct Old
Military Trail. Rather, this connection is being provided at the
request of the City's Staff in case Old Military Trail is con-
structed at some later date.
The site is located in relation to the major roadways in
Figure 1.
EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS
The major road serving as direct access to this site is
Lawrence Road. Lawrence Road is a two ( 2 ) lane north - south
arterial roadway. There are three other major roadways which are
in the radius of development influence. N.W. 22nd Avenue is a
two (2) lane roadway between Jog Road and Congress Avenue. East
of Congress Avenue, N.W. 22nd Avenue is a four (4) lane divided
road. Hypoluxo Road is a four (4) lane roadway between Military
Trail and Congress Avenue. East of Congress Avenue, Hypoluxo
Road is a six (6) lane divided road to 1-95.

West of Military Trail, the existing two lane roadway is
scheduled to be widened to a four lane divided roadway during
1990 by the developer of Lake Charleston PUD.
Congress Avenue, in the project study area, is a four lane
divided roadway. The link of Congress Avenue from Miner Road to
N.W. 22nd Avenue is scheduled to be widened during 1990 to a six
(6) lane divided roadway by the developer of The Shops of Boyn-
ton. The section of Congress Avenue from N. W. 22nd Avenue to
Boynton Beach Boulevard is scheduled to be widened to a six (6)
lane roadway by the developer of Palm Isle PUD. This widening is
expected to commence during 1991.
Miner Road is scheduled to be extended from its present
terminus west of Congress Avenue to Lawrence Road. This will
provide an al ternative route to access Congress Avenue. This
construction is expected to commence during 1990. The existing
roadway average annual daily volumes and the roadway capacities
are shown in Figure 2.
GENERATION
The generation rates used for this residential project were
obtained from "Trip Generation - Fourth Edition", Institute of
Transportation Engineers, 1987 and "1981 Update Study of Vehicu-
lar Traffic Generation Characteristics Within Palm Beach County",
prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates. A summary of the antici-
pated average daily trip generation is shown below.

EXISTING ROAD CONDITIONS
Thus, it is expected that the project will generate 3286
trips per day at such time that the project is completely built
out and occupied.
TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
The traffic distr ibution used in the preparation of this
Anal ysis was prepared according to an examination of land use
patterns and travel patterns in the project study area. Based
upon the proceeding, the traffic distr ibution for this project
was determined and is shown below:
NORTH
EAST
SOUTH
WEST
31.5%
36.5%
26.0%
6.0%
The distributed traffic volumes for this project are shown
in Figure 3. In accordance with the Traffic Performance Stand-
ards Ordinance, the distributed traffic was brought five miles
from the site, or until the project generated less than 1% of the
capacity of the roadway (Insignificant Volume).
EFFECT ON CAPACITY
The Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordi-
nance delineates very specific criteria which must be met prior
to any Rezoning or Special Exception Request being approved.
Petitions are classified as being either a "Significant Project"
or "Insignificant Project" according to the project impact on
roadway links and the capacity of the impacted roadway links.

A ~Significant Project~ is defined by Ordinance #87-18 as a
project which generates more than one percent (1%) of the thresh-
old volune at Level of Service ~D~ on any link within the
project's radius of development influence. The threshold volumes
for ~Significant Projects~ are shown in APPENDIX B. For a two
lane road, the threshold volume for a significant impact is 131
trips per day, 300 trips per day for a four lane divided roadway
and/or five lane undivided roadway, and 464 trips per day for a
six lane divided roadway.
Reviewing the project volumes in Figure 3 with the threshold
vol urnes i.n APPENDIX B, it is seen that this project creates a
significant impact on the following roadway links:

It is concluded that this project is classified as a ~SiO-
nificant Project" according to Ordinance #87-18.
-5-
The Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance requires that
for any roadway link upon which the project creates a significant
impact, the total traffic on that roadway link be analyzed
during the buildout period for the project. According to the
Petitioner, this project could be built and occupied during 1992.
Thus, a buildout year of 1992 has been established and this
analysis will use 1992 as a basis for its calculations.
The total traffic is defined as the sum of the existing
average, annual daily traffic, the project traffic plus the
background traffic. The background traffic is further defined as
the sum of the historical growth plus traffic generated by major
projects which are in excess of 10% of the capacity of the af-
fected roadway I ink. The total traffic vol urnes are shown in
Figure 4.
The 1992 projected traffic has been determined by taking the
sum of the existing AADT, plus the projected historical growth,
plus the traffic generated for major projects which are in excess
of 10% of the roadway's I ink capacity. The historical growth
calculations are shown in APPENDIX C. The major project traffic
volume calculations are shown in APPENDIX D.
A review of the available information revealed that there
were no major projects identified which would generate more than
10% of the capacity of a road link upon which this proposed
project would create a significant impact within the buildout
per lod. Thus, the background growth shall be compr lsed of the
historical growth volumes.
-6-
The total traffic volumes for the buildout year of 1992 are
shown wi th the roadway capacities in Figure 4. Reviewing the
total volumes and the roadway capacities in Figure 4, it is seen
that the total traffic exceeds capacity on the following roadway
links upon which this project creates a significant impact:

There is a commitment to widen these two links of Congress
Avenue by the developer of the Palm Beach Isles PUD (fka Boynton
West PUD). Palm Isles PUD is a 1012 unit residential project
located on the north side of Boynton Beach Boulevard, west of Jog
Road, in the unincorporated area of Palm Beach County. According
to the resol ution approving this project, the construction for
this widening is scheduled to commence in June 1990. It is
recommended that the development of this project be phased until
construction commences for the widening of Congress Avenue be-
tween Boynton Beach Boulevard and N.W. 22nd Avenue.
The link at Hypoluxo Road between Lawrence Road and Congress
Avenue is to be widened according to a condition of approval of
the Knollwood Groves PUD. This 539 unit residential planned unit
development was recently approved by the City of Boynton Beach.
A condition of approval was that the impact fees from this
project could be designated for the widening of this link of
Hypoluxo Road.

The second test that a "Significant Project" must meet is
the Intersection Test. This test requires that all major inter-
sections within the radius of development influence be analyzed
through which the project generates 10% or more of the total
traffic on any link of the intersection.
Reviewing the volumes in Figure 4, it is seen that this
project does not generate more than 10% of the total traffic on
Lawrence Road between Hypol uxo and N. W. 22nd Avenue. Thus, the
intersections of Lawrence Road / Hypoluxo Road and Lawrence Road
/ N.W. 22nd Avenue will have to be analyzed in accordance with
the Ordinance.
In addition, the Ordinance requires that peak hour turning
movements shall be analyzed where the project's traffic meets the
directly accessed links. The peak hour volumes generated by this
project were calculated in order to determine what site related
improvements, if any, will be required.
The peak hour generation rates for each residential use were
also calculated based upon information obtained from "Trip Gener-
at ion" . The peak hour generation vol urnes used for this project
have been calculated to be:
Single Family TOTAL IN OUT
A.M. Ln(T) =0.91 Ln ( 162) + 0.20 = 125 34 91
P.M. Ln(T) =0.94 Ln ( 162) + 0.36 = 171 108 63
Townhomes
A.M. 7.7% ADT = .077 (1666) = 128 35 93
P.M. 10.6% ADT = .106 ( 1666) = 176 111 65
TOTAL
A.M. = 253 69 184
P.M. = 347 219 128
-8-
The A.M. & P.M. peak hour volumes at the project entrances
are shown in Figures 5 and 6. Also shown in Figures 7 and 8 are
the project vol urnes at the intersections of Lawrence Road with
Hypoluxo Road and N.W. 22nd Avenue.
A review and an analysis of the volumes shown in Figures 5
through 8 were performed based upon thE~ procedures in "Inter im
Materials on Highway Capacity", Transportation Research Circular
Number 212, January 1980 and the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual.
From these analyses, shown in APPENDIX E, the following roadway
improvements are recommended:
a. at the intersections of Lawrence Road and both
project entrance roads:
(1) a left turn lane on Lawrence Road,
south approach.
(2) separate left turn lane and through /
right turn lanes on entrance road,
west approach.
Review of the Critical Movement Analyses for the intersec-
tions of Lawrence Road with Hypoluxo Road and N. W. 22nd Avenue
reveals that these intersections will operate at acceptable
levels of service with their existing configurations. Thus, this
project also meets the Intersection Test.

CONCLUSION
This proposed 83.85 acre 400 unit residential development is
expected to generate an average of 3,286 additional trips per day
on the area's roadway system at complete occupancy and buildout.
This project is classified as being a "Significant Project" as
defined by the existing County Traffic Performance Standards
Ordinance. Several roadway links have been identified as having
total volumes in excess of capacity. With the exception of N.W.
22nd Avenue, all of these roadway 1 inks have roadway widenings
scheduled. An analysis of the impacted off-site intersections
show that this project meets the Link Test of the Ordinance.
As this project meets both the Link Test and the Intersec-
tion Test, it is concluded that this project can be approved in
accordance with the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Stand-
ards Ordinance #87-18.

RE: Boynton Nurseries PUD - Lawrence Road
Dear Tim:
Enclosed are three (3) copies of the revised traffic study for
the Boynton Nurseries PUD. The revisions deleted reference to a
1993 buildout year. The stated buildout year for this project
remains 1992.
We have reviewed the recommendations of the City's Traffic Con-
sultant. We agree with his request that this project's approval
be tied to the construction of several roadways upon which this
project is expected to significantly impact. We offer the fol-
lowing information concerning proposed road construction in sup-
port of the approval of this project:
BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD; 1-95 to Old Boynton Road -
Palm Beach County is scheduled to widen this link
according to testimony by Charlie Walker of the
County Traffic Department at the Public Hearing
on Tuesday, February 20, 1990.
OLD BOYNTON ROADj Lawrence Road to Knuth Road -
This road is scheduled to be widened by Palm Beach
County in fiscal year 1991 - 92.
CONGRESS AVENUEi Boynton Beach Boulevard to N.W. 22nd Ave -
This road is scheduled to be widened by the developer
of Boynton West PUD (a County approved 1,012 unit ~~C~l~v]EI>
on Boynton Beach Boulevard west of Military Trail~
construction is expected to commence in 1991.
CONGRESS AVENUE; N.W. 22nd Avenue to Miner Road _ ~ 1]
This road is scheduled to be widened by the develope"LANNiNG DlPf.
of the Shops of BOyntoni construction is expected tq
commence in 1990.

Mr. Tim Cannon
Boynton Beach Planning Department
March 13, 1990
Page Two - Boynton Nurseries PUD
We do, however, take exception to the requirement to hold up the
approval of this project until the section of Congress Avenue
from Miner Road to Hypo1uxo Road is widened. As agreed by the
City's Traffic Consultant, this project is expected to generate
an insignificant amount of traffic (less than 1% of capacity) on
that roadway link. We do not feel that it is reasonable to
require a project that is creating an insignificant impact to
shoulder the full cost of widening that link of Congress Avenue.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,

SITE DESCRIPTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Boynton Nursery is developed as a nursery operation, containing
native, exotic and ornamental vegetation. The area is drained and
altered from natural conditions. The investigation took place on
December 14, 1989 and covered approximately 84 acres. The report
is divided into two sections due to the contrasting features of
the site.
Section One:
This area contains the nursery operation (see enclosed map).
There are three lateral ditches that run north-south, located
about every 330 feet and are 1320 feet in length. There the
nursery plants are bedded in rows. The office and greenhouses are
found north of the bedded area.
Section Two:
This section is located to the southwest of section one. It
consists of basic vegetation consistent with South Florida
Flatwoods Ecological Communities. The canopy vegetation
encompasses about 65% of the section and consists mainly of slash
pines. The southern boundary contained a large population of
Brazilian pepper and castor bean along with late thoroughwort. At
the southwest corner, construction of a pipe crossing over LWDD
#21 was currently being developed. The western border contained a
large live oak (14" DBH) and cabbage palms.
In the interior of section two was found an old homesite with
some rather large concrete/metal bar structures precariously
exposed along with roofing material and corrugated metal. The
vegetation surrounding this site was exotic and ornamental
varieties, along with coconut, American holly, Australian pine,
melaleuca (seedlings to large mature trees), and oaks. The area
around the homesite suffers from fire damage, as may well have
been the case of the homesite itself. Most of the canopy
vegetation seemed to have survived the burn, although many slash
pines have died.
To the north of the homesite was found a depressional area with
little or no canopy vegetation. Most of the vegetation was
groundcover which consisted mainly of late thoroughwort,
goldenrod, various grasses and sedges, and Caesar weed. The
depression is surrounded by slash pine, melaleuca, oak and
cabbage palms. There also was found American holly, guava and
stoppers scattered throughout the area.
The eastern section was burdened by the presence of Brazilian
pepper and Acacia, both trees are susceptible to windthrow. The
area along the southeastern section is presently being cleared
of vegetation.

VEGETATION
Described below are several of the predominate plants which are
found in section two. A description of the identifying
characteristics of the vegetation and some uses for the plants
are given. Other vegetation was found on the site but not in
significant quantities to warrant an individual description. Due
to the exotic/ornamental nature of vegetation found in the
nursery, none is listed in the report.
** Indicates predominate vegetation found on the site. Underlin-
ing indicates vegetation which could be incorporated into the
landscape design while requiring a minimum of maintenance, care
and irrigation depending upon it's site location.
GROUNDCOVER:
Cordgrass (Spartina bakeri) Cordgrass has stout culms 1-2 m.
tall growing in large dense clusters. One of the characteristics
of this species of cordgrass is its absence of creeping, scaly
rhizomes. Long ascending leaf blades, 10-20 cm long and 4-8 mm
wide, are usually involuted or with inward rolled margins giving
it a cylindrical appearance. Spikelets, 6-8 mm long, are one-
flowered and consist of a second glume about one-third the length
of the first glume. The rootstocks of cordgrass are an important
food source for waterfowl. The seeds are sparsely eaten by
various ducks, marshbirds and songbirds, but provide the main
diet of the sharp-tailed and seaside sparrows. Cordgrass is
generally found in sandy soils, but also within freshwater
marshes and prairies.
Rosary Pea (Abrus precatorius) - This delicate looking vine has
small lavender or white pea-like flowers and brilliantly colored,
hard red and black fruit. These fruits contain such a virulent
poison that even one can be fatal if chewed and swallowed. They
can apparently be swallowed with immunity if the seed coat is
unbroken, but this practice is obviously highly risky. Because
of their attractive appearance, the seeds have been strung to
make novelty jewelry. This should not be done because a skin
prick during the stringing process can cause acute blood poison-
ing.
Sawbrier (Smilax laurifolia) This vine has thorny stems that
are sometimes as thick as two inches at the base. The leaves are
prominent longitudinal veins that run parallel to each other like
railroad tracks. The tiny flowers develop into small, black
fruits that are eaten by birds. The young, green shoots are
tender and succulent. This plant is important as a food source
for deer and other herbivores.

File :It: 89-75
Sedge <Cyperus retrorsus) This groundcover usually has
triangular stems that distinguish them from the round-stemmed
grasses. This plant is generally wind pollinated and have minute
flowers.
Wild or Muscadine Grape <Vitis rotundifolia) - This is not a
shrub but covers many of the plants on the site. It is a common
woody vine that can grow on the ground or can climb trees and
shrubs. This species has comparatively large <about one-half
inch in diameter), sweet tasting fruits which are edible. Young
leaves and stems can be cooked as greens. Old grape stems will
yield sap for drinking. This plant provides food for a variety
of wild life.
Wandering Jew <Zebrina pendula) This plant is a perennial,
succulent herb with weak, trailing and branching, purple stems
which take root at the nodes. The tips turn upward, reaching a
height of 4 to 8 inches. The leaves are alternate, ovate to
ovate-oblong, pointed and 1 to 3 inches long. The leaves are
basically green and usually striped with white, silver or purple
on the upper surface, entirely purple and either smooth or downy
on the undersides. The flowers are tubular, whitish with three
rose-purple lobes and are borne singly or in pairs which open in
the morning and close before afternoon.
SHRUBS:
Beauty Berry <Callicarpa americana) This plant is easily
identified by its compact lavendar pink to purple fruit clusters
which give this plant its name. The raw fruits are said to be
edible, but are not recommended because of their insipid,
astringent taste. Birds and other animals eat them. Deer feed
on the leaves.
Caesar's Weed (Urena lobata) - This plant can be an herb or a
shrub up to a height of nine feet. The small pink flowers
resemble Hibiscus to which they are related. Bristly fruits
catch on clothing or animal fur. The strong fiber characteri~tic
of many plants in this family, can be seen if one attempts to
break a stem. Cordage and coarse sacking are made from these
plants in other countries.
Castor Bean <Ricinus communis) - This large herb or shrub can
grow rapidly to 16 feet tall. A white, waxy coating covers the
green or reddish stems. The leaves have prominent star-shaped
ribs. Greenish-white or reddish-brown flower clusters are
produced at the ends of the branches throughout the year. Oval
seed pods are covered with stiff, fleshy spines. Seeds are
usually mottled white and black. Their resemblance to ticks is
reflected in the fact that Ricinus is also a genus of ticks. All

parts of the plant are poisonous to people and livestock. Castor
oil and lubricating oils are extracted from the seeds. The
material remaining after oil extraction has been used as a
fertilizer
*Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) This plant is a sprawling,
branching dense shrub that seldom reaches more than six feet in
height. Leaves of the saw palmetto are smaller and more circular
than those of the cabbage palm and they lack a central midrib.
The foliage is a silvery-white or sometimes cloudy blue-green or
green. The trunk is usually creeping and copiously rooted on the
underside. The saw palmetto tends to form dense thickets. These
areas make an excellent habitat for wildlife. Many parts of this
plant are edible.
CANOPY/TOPSTORY:
American Holly (Ilex opaca) A small or medium sized tree,
commonly 30' to 50' in height and l' to 2' in diameter, with
tapering bole clothed in short, slender, somewhat contorted
branches, forming a more or less pyramidal crown. The leaves are
alternate, simple, leathery, oblong-ovate, 2" to 4" long, 1" to
2" wide, wavy margins with sharp-pointed spines. The fruit is
spherical, red, berry-like drupe, about 1/4" in diameter,
containing several prominently ribbed, I-seeded nutlets. Found on
rich, moist, bottom lands, borders of swamps, and dry but well-
protected slopes: frequently found on sandy soils near the coast.
Australian Pine (Casuarina equisetifolia) This large, fast-
growing tree can rapidly invade many areas. The needles are
slender, jointed branches. The fruits resemble small, compressed
cones about one-half inch wide. The mat of branches or needles
on the ground apparently gives off a chemical that inhibits the
growth of other kinds of plants. This tree is subject to
windthroe due to its shallow root system and the heights it
obtains.
**Brazilian Pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) - This tree can
grow to a height of 40 feet. It is densely foliaged,low-branch-
ing, bushy and spreading to equal width. This tree is a fast
growing, pestiferous tree that is very difficult to cut down due
to its immense tangle of intertwining branches. All parts of
this tree contain resin which produces dermatitis especially if
the plant is in full bloom. It is a common cause of a fine rash,
respiratory irritation, headaches and sneezing.
*Cabbage Palm <Sabal palmetto): This palm is the state tree of
Florida and grows to approximately 80 feet high. The leaves are
fan-shaped and slightly folded, with a curved midrib through the
center. Because of its long life and hardiness the Cabbage Palm

is an excellent landscape tree. Large trees can be successfully
transplanted with proper techniques and equipment. It is well
adapted to the droughty/wet cycle of weather in Florida.
Earleaf acacia (Acacia auriculaeformis) - The acacia tree grows
to a height of 30 feet. It is a handsome medium sized tree
suitable for lawn or street planting. It is especially good for
poor, dry soils and is semi-deciduous. This tree is sometimes
subject to windthroe, it is brittle and will break up during a
windstorm but recovers quickly. This tree has a very fast rate
of growth which makes it desirable for landscape use.
Guava <Psidium guajava) - Originally from tropical America, this
treee is now well established in South Florida. It often forms
thickets in roadside ditches or low, wet areas. The flowers are
white with a central yellow and white tuft. The fruit is round
or pear-shaped with yellow skin covering a thin layer of firm
flesh and soft central pulp. Wild varieties are usually sour,
but are rich in vitamin C and can be cooked or used in jelly.
The leaves can be used as tea or for seasoning.
Melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) - This tree can grow to 80 to
10e feet in size. This tree is a common respiratory irritant,
and individuals may experience a fine, burning rash accompanied
by headaches and nausea after exposure to the trees. Some people
develop asthma-like symptoms when there is a flush of new
foliage. A swamp tree in Southeast Asia and Australia, it has
been spreading through South Florida for over 80 years.
Oak (Quercus virginiana) The oak is a long lived tree of
striking features and massive proportions. Though it exhibits a
variety of growth habits, the more interesting trees have a short
truck three to four feet in diameter dividing into several large
limbs with nearly horizontal branches. These branches spread
wide forming a low crown reaching 100 feet or more across and 40
to 50 feet in height. The oak is a very valuable and useful
landscape plant. Though slow growing in the wild, it develops
surprisingly fast with little care in the landscape. They are
tolerant of salt and though preferring a fairly dry area, they
will grow well on the lower ridges. The acorns produced by this
tree are a source of food for wildlife and can be eaten by humans
is prepared correctly.
**Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii) The slash pine tree is very
beneficial to wildlife both for habitat and as a food source.
The tree is an excellent landscape tree which requires little
maintenance, in fact excessive maintenance and care can be
detrimental for the tree. Any excessive traffic or parking of
construction equipment over the root system of the trees can
cause damage to the tree.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
Trees in the landscape provide scale, framing, screening or
privacy, modify climate, reduce glare, diminish air and noise
pollution, and make the environment more pleasant and healthful.
Deciduous trees shade in the summer and let in warming winter sun
when their leaves are gone. Trees also cool through the process
of evaporation. A single, properly watered tree can have an
estimated cooling effect of more than a million BTU's, exceeding
the output rating of many room air conditioners.
Leaves and twigs capture airborne dust and dirt particles and
hold them for the next rain to wash away. The result is cleaner
air and house. The human comfort level for noise is between 35
to 40 decibels, yet noise of street traffic often registers 70 or
even ge decibels. A dense strip of vegetation along a busy
roadway can block out up to 60% of traffic noise.
For trees and vegetation to be effective, care must be taken in
their placement. A tree in the wrong place can interfere with
utility lines, break up pavement, clog drains or sewer lines,
dangerously screen traffic signs, driveways, or oncoming automo-
bile traffic, limit access to buildings or block the free flow of
air, creating stagnant, humid conditions around the house.
Trees and vegetation to be preserved or planted should be chosen
for their compatibility with the natural conditions -- soil,
wetness, shade, etc. surrounding the property. Native
vegetation can be used for beautification and requires a minimum
amount of effort to establish and maintain. They are also very
conservative in their consumption of water during times of
drought. Many native plants will encourage birds and wildlife to
visit and establish nesting sites in your yard for your education
and enjoyment.
CONSTRUCTION DAMAGE
Trees are susceptible to several types of construction damage,
including soil compaction; excessive fill during grading; and
cutting of roots during excavation. To prevent damage from soil
compaction, clearly mark the trees you want to save prior to
construction and erect a barrier or fence at the dripline. If a
fence is not possible, at least install stakes connected with
fluorescent surveyor's tape. Keep all vehicles out of the marked
area.
Avoid excessive soil fill over tree roots because it can disturb
the operation of soil microorganisms necessary for nutrient
production; prohibit oxygen penetration to the roots; allow toxic
chemicals and gases to build up within the soil; and raise the

water table, causing the roots to become waterlogged. Some
trees, such as elms, poplars, beeches, dogwoods, tulip poplar,
pines, spruces and pin oak can survive this abuse. Sugar maples,
beeches, dogwoods, tulip poplar, pines, spruces and other oaks
cannot. Remove excessive soil fill within two months or the
trees will die. One preventive measure is to construct a tree
well. The expense is worth it only if the tree is valuable.
Decide if cutting the tree down and planting a new, more desir-
able tree would be wiser.
Finally, cutting roots within 15 feet of the trunk is usually
fatal to large or mature trees. Occasionally, young trees will
slowly adjust by allowing numerous branches to die. Keep root
cuts at least 15 feet away from the trunk. Remove injured root
ends, and quickly cover them with moist soil. If you must make
the cut closer than 15 feet, consider removing the tree and
planting a new one once grading is completed. By removing the
tree now, you will save yourself the cost of removing it later-
which may include repair costs for resultant damage to the
foundation or pavement.
For further information regarding preservation of trees, etc
contact your local urban forester or tree professional.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The District recommends the groundcover remain in place as long
as possible to prevent wind and soil erosion. Once the ground-
cover is removed, mulch should be placed where appropriate.
After construction, vegetation should be established as soon as
possible. Topsoil should be stockpiled for later use.
As many of the trees as possible should be incorporateq into the
landscape design of this facility. Construction equipment and
materials should not be parked or stored under the trees or
within the root zone of the trees to be preserved. Any trees to
be preserved should be clearly indicated and marked to prevent
stockpiling of equipment or parking of vehicles underneath or
within the root zones of these trees.
Many of the trees and shrubs in good condition could be moved.
Contact the local Urban Forester for additional information
regarding procedures, etc.
Removal or transplanting of all trees and shrubs should take
place as early as possible to prevent damage to these plants by
construction equipment. Any damage to the plants will lessen
they chances of survival after transplanting.

Several samples of soil were taken throughout the site and the
findings were consistent with those of the Detailed Soil Survey
of Palm Beach County (see enclosed map for sampling locations and
approximate soil delineations).
OLDSMAR SAND (Os)
This is a nearly level, poorly drained soil that has a dark colored,
weakly cemented layer below a depth of 30 inches over a loamy layer.
It is in broad, flatwood areas. These soils are saturated for long
periods during the wet season. Depressions are ponded from 6 to 9
months in most years under natural conditions. The water table can
recede to below 40 inches during periods of extended drought.
The natural vegetation is saw palmetto, slash pine, cabbage palm,
inkberry, southern bayberry with an undergrowth of pineland three-awn,
blue maidencane, fetterbush, broomsedge, bluestem and a variety of
other grasses. Some areas are in cultivated crops and improved
pasture.
If irrigation water is available, this soil is moderately well suited
to vegetables. Intensive management and a very careful control of the
water table level are essential. This soil is poorly suited to citrus.
Poor drainage, rapid leaching of plant nutrients and droughtiness
affect the growth of citrus. If the groves are well managed and there
is a properly designed water control system, citrus can be grown
successfully.

BASINGER FINE SAND (Ba)
This is a nearly level, poorly drained, deep, sandy soil in broad
grassy sloughs found along the eastern part of the county. This soil
has a subsurface layer in the upper 21 inches of white fine sand and in
the lower 4 inches dark grayish brown fine sand. The subsoil is dark
reddish brown fine sand about 7 inches thick. The water table is within
113 inches of the surface for 2 to 6 months in most years and within 10
to 30 inches for the rest of the year.
The natural vegetation is St. Johnswort, slash pine, southern bayberry
and scattered cypress. The groundcover is pineland three-awn, blue
maidencane, brooms edge bluestem and low panicum grasses. Most areas
are in native vegetation or improved pasture.

This is a nearly level, poorly drained, deep sandy soil that has a dark
colored layer below a depth of 313 inches that is weakly cemented with
organic matter. This soil is found in broad flatwood areas in the
eastern portion of the county. Under natural conditions, the water
table is within Ie inches of the surface for 2 to 4 months during wet
periods and within Ie to 413 inches for 8 months or more in most years.
But it is below 40 inches during dry periods.
The natural vegetation is slash pine, saw palmetto, inkberry, fetter-

BASINGER AND MYAKKA SANDS, DEPRESSIONAL (BM)
These are nearly level, very poorly drained, sandy soils in shallow
depressions. The depressions are small to large isolated ponds or
poorly defined narrow drainageways that have many branches. Generally,
Basinger soils make up about 45 percent of this complex. Both soils
can occur separately or together. The water table is above the soil
surface for 3 to 9 months or more in most years.
The natural vegetation is St. Johnswort, cypress, melaleuca, maiden-
cane, needlegrass, sand cordgrass, and other water tolerant grasses and
sedges. Most areas of these soils are in native vegetation. These
soils are not suited to cultivated crops or improved pasture.
