Dear Mr. Rumpf:
RE: Proposed construction activity at the Motorola Campus
1500 Gateway Blvd., Boynton Beach, Florida 33426
In our meeting of Friday 10/23, we discussed some activity being planned for Motorola's
campus at 1500 Gateway Blvd., Boynton Beach, Florida. At that time I explained that this
construction was being driven by our continuous effort to maintain compliance with the
ADA and that there would be no alterations done to parking lot, building footprint or the
exterior of the building. With that understanding, it was decided that this letter reviewing
our plans would be sufficient to require no site plan review.
The construction planned is as follows:
1. As a reasonable accommodation for an employee, we are providing a walkway from our
current 24 hour entrance to our basketball courts. In this process we will be loosing four
(4) parking spaces.
2. Again as reasonable accommodation for an employee we are adding additional handicap
parking spaces on the east side of our cafeteria dockyard wall. This will give us an
additional loss of nine (9) spaces.
3. We are providing a pedestrian walkway exiting our cafeteria patio area in compliance
with the ADA.
The architectural firm of Schwab, Twitty and Hanser are providing those calculations you
required concerning the parking ratio of building square footage to parking space total.
If you have any questions please contact me at 561/73%2381 or email
FDD003(~email.mot.com.
I thank you for your cooperation and apologize for the delay in providing this letter to you.

IN RE:
MOTOROLA MASTER PLAN MODIFICATION
Dear Mr. Cutro:
Please accept this correspondence and attached documentation as a formal request
on behalf of the Motorola Corporation to modify the existing Master Site Plan
for their property at the intersection of Congress Avenue and Northeast 22nd
Avenue within Boynton Beach, Florida.
This Master Plan Modification is requested to accommodate the following
revisions:
The sale of approximately 1.86 acres of property at the Northeast
corner of the Motorola Site for purposes of accommodating the
development of a Day Care Center. This property sale will serve to
establish two parcels of property within the existing P.I.D.
As part of this submission we respectfully request that you
faithfully review the acceptability of treating the Day Care Center
as an allowable use within the P.I.D.
Motorola feels that to accomodate the Day Care parcel that the following
provisions should be implemented:
o The realignment of the existing, on site, employee parkin~ lot access
driveway and water retention drainage equalizing outfall.
o The provision of a de-acceleration lane on Northeast 22n_~_d Avenue
providing access to the existing employee parking lot.
While the Day Care Center will not be owned or developed by the Motorola
Corporation, the property sale and Day Care development is intended to offer an
important service to Motorola employees as well as the public.

IN RE: MOTOROLA MASTER SITE PLAN MODIFICATION

You will note in reviewing the tabular data within the attached Master Site Plan
(as revised) that the traffic impact of the Day Care Center will be absorbed
within the capacity of the D.R.I. for the approved Master Plan. This is proposed
to be accommodated by reducing the future Master Plan allowable building capacity
by a 13,554 square feet area of office area and 19,368 square feet of industrial
space. The attached letter prepared by Mr. Schwartz, of the Traffic Engineering
Corporation, outlines the analysis by which we propose to create a neutral
traffic impact within the P.I.D.
Thank you for your attention to our request as submitted herein.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Hanser:
At your request, I have evaluated the traffic generation potential of the Motorola Plant
located on Congress Avenue in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. The calculations
presented herein focus spccifically on the impacts of adding a day care facility to the
plant site. They compare the traffic generation potential of the day care facility with
uses already approved for the site.
Praposed Day Care Facility
Based on information you provided, the size of the day care facility proposed for the
Motorola Plant is 12,627 square feet. The characteristics of the Motorola day care
facility are intended to follow traditional day care operation except that approximately
70 percent of the patrons are expected to be Motorola employees. This fact greatly
reduces the net traffic generation of the site.
According to Section 10.8, Fair Share Road Impact Fee of the Palm Beach County
Unified Land Development Code, a typical day care center generates 79.26 average
daily trips per thousand square feet (ksf). Therefore, the following calculatlons
represent the expected traffic generation from the Motorola day care facility.
12,627 square feet @ 79.26 daily trips per ksf = 1,001 trips
30 percent non-employee traffic = 300 trips
less 10 percent pass-by capture
= 30 trips
One Cleerlake Centre.-Suite 501
250 Australian A venue, South ~ Wast Palm Beach.- FL 33401
407..- 659 ~- 8328
Net external traffic impact = 270 trips
Note that the 10 percent pass-by factor allowed by Section 10.8 of the Code has been
applied only to non-employee trips associated with the day care center.
