Edwards CEO Construction Inc. 2200 Lucien Way Suite 450 Maitland, FL 32751 December 15, 1993 Dear Ms. Edwards: This letter is to verify infonmation that you have requested regarding the Woolbright Place PUD. The Woolbright Place PUD is zoned as a Planned Unit Development district, which pursuant to the City's PUD zoning regulations, must be accompanied by an approved master plan. The approved master plan allows construction of 640 apartment units (multi-family units) and 16 duplexes. However, since the City's PUD zoning regulations penmit single-family, two-family and multi-family dwellings (including townhouses, condominium, apartments and cluster housing), any change to the master plan as approved, would require submittal of a modification to the master plan. Water and sewer service are available to the site and the site is accessible to Woolbright Road by way of Southwest 8th Street. In reviewing this site the_City uses impact fee rates that were effective in 1986 as opposed to present day fee rates. In addition many of the impact fees in place today were not in place in 1986 and we will not impose these fees. Review of the plans for this site is done in an expedited matter as outlined in the attached City Commission resolution. By interlocal agreement we have joined with Palm Beach County to provide various initiatives for affordable housing in the City (see Table 1) in some cases these initiatives are City efforts and are indicated as such on the list. I hope this letter is of some help to you. If you have any questions please feel free to call me.

Ann Grandel R W Realty Sales 1131 S E Third Ave Fort Lauderdale, Fl 33316-1109 Dear Ann: This letter is a response to your inquiry regarding the Woolbright Place PUD. The acreage of the site includes a drainage retention area, church, and a mul ti-family pod which is 81.1 acres. The multi-family section has 49.75 acres and allows a maximum of 640 apartment units and 16 duplex units. The units per gross acre are considered to be 5 but with various negotiations and court settlements, the overall density is unknown. There was at one time a site plan for the residential portion of the PUD but that has expired. I would suggest not using it except for review purposes because the plan was approved with comments that have never been rectified. In order to have a development approved on the site, a new site plan and building plans must be approved. In addition, if changes are made that affect the master plan, a master plan modification must be filed as well. The development standards in the PUD ordinance (see attached) will be used to review the development. Please note that there isa berm requirement on the north side of the property for which an MPM will have to be filed. Sanitary sewer, water, electric are all available to the site. It is my understanding that some of these have been put in place, but not completed or are subject to relocation (i.e. FPL power poles and a sanitatlon force main). However, from a concurrency point of view, water and sewer are available. ~merica's (jateway to tlie (julfstream Hs. Ann Grandel Page Two September 30, 1993 Drainage and retention areas have been provided as part of the master plan, but no structures or pipe are in place. Open space requirements have been met. There is an outstanding item between the owner of the property and the City of a $50,000 credit to be given for preparing the park site which has not been cleared. Since the open space requirements have been met, any recreation areas are options for the developer to provide. S W 8th Street has to be completed in the PUD with a turnaround. As far as other development commitments, I believe these have been mentioned above, completion of the infrastructure, S W 8th Street and the berm on the north side. The project is vested for concurrency but payment of hookup fees, and other fees are required. In addition, traffic impact fees may be required by Palm Beach County. It is my understanding that the site has been cleared of gopher tortoises. There may be a scrub jay question (see attached). Any easements that were needed were platted in 1990. There may be some modification to these but no new ones are contemplated. I know of no other issues (as if the above aren't enough) that would affect the development of the parcel. I hope this letter is of some help to you. questions, please feel free to call me.
