Re: Application for the subdivision of a 2-acre parcel of land
into 3 lots for single family dwelling units.
Applicant: Harvey Lang - Orchard Landing
Applicant's Agent: M. Jeffrey Semko
Location: East of Federal Highway and approximately 180 feet
south of SW 23 Avenue (Golf Road) on the west right-
of-way of the Intracoastal Waterway.
Current Zoning: R-3
Existing Site Improvements: The existing site is vacant.
Existing Site Vegetation: There are no select or significant
species of trees or other vegetation within the proposed building
areas exclusive of utility and or drainage easements. The
northeasterly portion of the site has some mangrove vegetation
and three large australian pine trees. This areas falls within
the 40' drainage easements and will not be built upon. There
is a small cluster of mangrove located approximately 80' south
of the northeast property corner on the west bank of the
Intracoastal Waterway. All mangrove vegetation will be preserved
as governed by law. Along the southerly property line is an
australian pine hedgerow. With the cooperation of the adjacent
Co-op Association, the developer proposes to remove this hedgerow
and replace it with a species more in keeping with todays
accepted standards and landscape designs. Upon completion of
the residential dwelling units, sod, landscape materials, trees
and irrigation systems will be installed in accordance with
all local governing requirements.
Site Condition: The average existing site elevation within
the proposed building area is 5.5' above mean sea level and
will require a minimum of 2.0' of fill material to obtain the
minimum floor elevation of 7.5'. All fill material and placing
of fill material will be in strict accordance of local governing
code requirements.

Page 2
Soil Conditions: Preliminary soil analysis performed by Fraser
Engineering and Testing indicates medium density fine sand to
a depth of 10' with soft organic silt to a depth of 25'. Upon
approval of the proposed subdivision and prior to the placing
of fill on the site, in depth soil analysis will be prepared.
Following the engineering recommendations based on the existing
site conditions, the material will be placed. Drainage will
be provided in accordance with all city codes and standard
practices.
Site Development: The existing 2 acre parcel of land is proposed
to be subdivided into 3 individual single family building lots
consisting of the following areas:
Lot 1 - 20,703.10 s.f. = 0.48 acres
Lot 2 - 18,268.42 s.f. = 0.42 acres
Lot 3 - 23,286.20 s.f. = 0.54 acres
The remaining area consisting of 25,082.48 s.f. = 0.565 acres
and identified on the proposed master plan as "Tract A", will
be utilized to serve as ingress/egress, drainage, and utility
easements.
There are no plans to provide private recreation facilities
or apply for half credit, therefore, a dedication requirement
based on 3 single family dwelling units @ .0180 acres = .054
acres fee is requested in lieu of land.
The developer will request the minimum right-of-way width be
reduced from 50 feet to 25 feet due to the existing property
configuration and ingress/egress available.
Site Utilities: There are utilities available to this site
and will be provided by the appropriate agencies. The location
of existing utilities are along the westerly property line
(parallel with U.S. Highway Northbound) and along the southerly
property line of proposed subdivision located on the northerly
property of the existing co-op known as "Hampshire Gardens".
Upon approval of the proposed master plan and prior to the start
of construction, the location of the utility tie-ins will be
Page 3
researched, engineered, and applied for to the appropriate
agencies. All utilities to the residential dwelling units will
be underground in accordance with local governing code
requirements.
Individual Site Development: the developer is proposing to
construct a custom two-story single family dwelling unit
consisting of an estimated conditioned area of 3000 s.f., two
car garage, pool and boat dock. All plans and specifications
will be prepared on an individual lot basis and will be submitted
to local governing agencies for approval prior to construction.
The elements of design will be at the discretion of the owner,
conducive to the neighboring properties.
Homeowners Association: The developer will create a homeowner's
association as a non-profit corporation to provide for the
preservation and enhancement of property values, amenities and
opportunities and for the maintenance of the properties and
improvements. This association will be established to control
and operate the common areas. This homeowners association will
be created and governed by the requirements of all local and
state guidelines set therein.
General Considerations: The developer will prepare all
documentation required for specific permits and will comply
with all code requirements in effect at the time of application.
These permits required from local, county, state and federal,
or any other permitting agency shall be included with a request
for permit.
Respectfully submitted,
M. Jeffrey Semko

subdivision, which will be located on the east side,of US 1, 1/2 mile south of
SK 15th Avenue. This site is in the municipal limits of Boynton Beach
Plorida.
The ~pose of this Traffic Impact Analysis is to determine the impact of
these 3 single family dwelling units on the surrounding roadway system and
compliance with Palm Beach County's Traffic Performance Standards.
Access to the site will be from private roadway onto US 1.

TRAFFIC GRNRRATION RATES
Trip Generation Rates are taken from Palm Beach County"s
Fair Share Contribution for Road Improvements and are as follows:
Units:
Sinale Family Dwelling Units
3 x 10 Trips Per Dwellini Unit
Total Trips Per Day:
=
30 T/D
Tbe Traffic Performance Standards require that the 30 external
trips/day be distributed throughout the roadway network assum1n& 100%
occupancy and development based upon the trip distribution identified on the
previous pase. This Traffic assignment constitutes Test #1 identified in the
County"s Mandatory Traffic Performance Standards. In this test with the
project traffic less than 200 trips per day, the projects external traffic
must be distributed is required to be distributed to the directly accessed
link, or US 1.

PROJRCT BUlLOOUT
All Buildini Permits for the proposed project are expected to be
obtained prior to the fall of 1997. This data includina the historical growth
rate will be added to the surrounding roadway network. Based on these
ass~tions, buildout for this project will be a twelve month time period,
endin& in the fall of 1997.
-5-
MAJOR PROJRCT MAP
Provisions of the Traffic Performance Code dictate that all major
projects within the project radius of influence during the build out period of
the proposed project shall be specifically accounted for in projecting
background traffic. A major project is defined as:
Any PROJECT, including those within IIWlicipalities, which is:
(A) A Developnent of Regional Impact;
(B) A PROJRCT which ienerates more than seven thousand
(7,000) trips;
(e) Any PROJRCT of any type or size which is contractually bound to
financing or constructing any portion of a Major Thoroughfare which is not
site related;
Given the short buildout time frame for this project, and the location
there are no major projects within the Study Area which will influence the
project.

RADIUS OF D1MUllPHRNT INFIlJRNCR TEST 1 & 2
TEST 1 - The Traffic Performance Standards require under Test 1 that
the projects traffio be distributed throughout the roadway system identified
in Table 2 as outlined below:
Net Trip Generation Maximum Distance
1 - 200 adjacent roadway
Traffic distribution shown on page 8 of this report. distributes traffic
throuahout the road system in acoordance with Test #1. The direotly a.ccessed
link in this case. US 1 will be analyzed. The results indioate on paae 9 of
this report that none of the roadway links exceed Level of Service D. This
request therefore does not violate Test #1.
TEST 2 - As the total trips are less than 60 trips per day~ this projeot
also passes Test 2 as provided for in the Traffic Performance Standards
Ordinance.

REcniMKNDATIONS ,\ OONCLUSIONS
This project passes both Test #1 and Test #2'j)f Palm Beach County's
Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Test #1 requires the projects
traffic be assigned throughout the roadway network and then added to the
existina traffic volumes. None of the roadway links exceed their roadway
capacities. This project also passes Test #2, which requires that sites with
less than 50 vehicle trips per day not be required to address any link of
roadway. The highest peak hour volume for vehicles entering the site occurs
in the FM peak hour. An estimated 3 vehicles per day is projected to turn
ri&ht into the site from US 1. None of the peak hour volumes shown on pa,ae 11
& 12 require additional roadway tmprovements, or signal requirements.
