INTRODUCTION
_____csa:===-==
The purpose of this traffic report is to undertake a detailed traffic
impact analysis on Woolbright P.U.D., Woolbright P.C.D./Office, and
Woolbright P.C.D./Shopping Center. All calculation were based on the land
use data presented in Kilday & Associates, Landscape Architects/Planners
site plans. Included in the overall analysis will be a traffic assessment
of active projects in the vicinity of Woolbright Road & SW 8th Street, so
that accurate transportation needs & improvements can be established &
implemented, which will insure the maintenance of a reasonable traffic
level of service. Other specific projects included in the analysis were:
Palm Beach Commerce Center, Pylon Interstate Park, the Ml Parcel between RR
& 1-95, and projects approved along Woolbright Road to Congress Avenue & in
the vicinity of that intersection. For further details, refer to Table #1 &
Figure A.
(
The significant impact areas will be the SW 8th Street corridor
between Boynton Beach Road & Woolbright Road, the intersection of SW 8th
Street & Woolbright Road and the 1-95 signalized ramp intersections at
Woolbright Road. As secondary impact areas, the intersections of Congress
Avenue & Woolbright Road, Congress Avenue & Ocean Drive, SW 8th Street &
Boynton Beach Road and Woolbright Road & Seacrest Boulevard were analyzed.
For further details on the project location & impact areas, reference
should be made to the Site Location Map--Figure #1.
To ensure that the traffic flow and safety issues are properly
addressed, the City of Boynton Beach has required the developer of
Woolbright Place to submit a overall traffic impact analysis & report,
which addresses the total impact of ALL RELATED PROJECTS. Furthermore, the
report has to adequately examine the project traffic generation levels to
determine if the project generates a significant impact as indicated in the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. Murray-Dudeck &
Associates, Traffic Engineering Consultants have been retained by
Tradewinds Development Corporation to investigate and determine the overall
traffic impacts created by the several proposed & approved developments.
c
I
In conducting the traffic evaluation it was necessary to examine the
adjacent highway links to assess the development access and its interaction
with the roadways. Additionally, a detailed review of the City of Boynton
Beach files was conducted to obtain any information on other projects.
Thirdly, manual counts during the peak periods at the critical
intersections were obtained from Palm Beach County & the Department of
Transportation and were conducted by MURRAY-DUDECK & ASSOCIATES. This data
is reflected in Appendix "A". Likewise, an examination of the surrounding
highway network & adjacent trip attractions & trip productions was made, to
be determine realistic route selections and trip patterns.

MULTIPLE LAND USE DEVELOPMENT encourages internal circulation and second
stops within the development area. Studies have indicated that better than
25% trip reductions can be attributed to this site plan development
characteristic. Therefore, it is realistic to adjust the daily external
trips by applying a 25% reduction due as the subsequent computations
reflect:

DRIVEWAY VOLUHES VS. TRAFFIC ADDED TO THE STREET SYSTEM is a very
important issue when you are dealing with commercial shopping centers. It
has been recognized for a number of years that such a development does not
produce all new trips, however the data collection has been somewhat
limited and traffic reports did not include an adjustment for these facts.
Furthermore, the data clearly indicates that the passing motorists is more
readily attracted to the smaller, local shopping centers than the major
plazas. For a center such as the Woolbright PCD / Shopping Center, it is
reasonable & conservative to deduct 25% of the trips as passing trips,
since data collected on comparable sites exceeded 35%.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION
.__=__a=aa=_~_=m=
To determine realistic traffic distribution percentages, it is
important to recognize the trip production & attraction characteristics,
which are classified under TRIP PURPOSES. Also, motorists select specific
routes based on travel comfort, travel time, travel safety, etc. Thus it is
important to recognize the alternative highway links in considering trip
route selection. Therefore after a careful review and evaluation of the
surrounding trip influencing factors, the trip percentage distributions
were determined as depicted in the Trip Distribution Percentages -- Figure
#2, #2A, #2B, #2C, & #2D.
DAILY TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT
a=======================
By utilizing the trip distribution percentages indicated in Figure #2,
#2A, #2B, #2C, & #2D the various project traffic on each affected highway
link within the area of influence can be determined. The computations are
depicted in Average Daily Development Traffic Assigned -- Figure #3.
c-
To determine the overall impacts on the transportation network, it is
necessary to recognize the traffic impacts on each of the highway links
within the area of influence of the subject development. Therefore, the
traffic levels under current conditions and due to the project generated
traffic have to be assigned onto the transportation network. The critical
traffic figures, which includes the existing traffic, the related
development traffic, and background traffic from other adjacent approved
projects, are depicted in the Area Average Daily Traffic Assigned -- Figure
#4.
PEAK HOUR DEVELOp~mNT TRAFFIC
c============================
Since the real traffic impact is measured by calculating the peak hour
capacity impacts at critical nodal points, it is important to determine the
average peak hour traffic. Based on the various land use projects, the
evening peak hour period is the most critical time. However, the morning
peak hour period will generate substantial levels of traffic, especially
the office land use category and usually different critical lane
requirements are needed for this peak period. Therefore, both peak hour
periods were calculated by using the lTE peak period trip rates and
updated trips presented in other ITE publications follows:

PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT
____=a=======a~===_____.a__K
Based on the aforementioned peak hour data, the development traffic &
other related project traffic are assigned to the critical adjacent
intersections as depicted in the AM & PM Development Hourly Traffic -- 15 &
#6.
TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS CATEGORY EVALUATIONS
a==================a====--=a=========__=._=-==___==
As mandated by Palm Beach County, all highway links within the
influence area of traffic impact have to be analysed to determine if there
are critical traffic capacity constraints. Specifically, when the existing
daily traffic is over level of service "D" on any link and the development
significantly impacts the traffic level, then the project is a Category
"A". Likewise, when the link total daily traffic exceeds level of service
"D" and the development significantly impacts the traffic level, then the
project is a Category "B".
( --'
Thus a detailed analysis of the daily traffic on the "19" affected
links within the traffic zone of influence was undertaken. The results are
depicted in the Traffic Performance Standard Evaluation -- Figure #7. Based
on this evaluation the following comments are offered:
#1 In analyzing the daily traffic under the criteria in Category "A"
on all "19" affected links, the results indicated that the project
is not flagged as a Category "A" project. Therefore, this project
DOES NOT have to committ to offsite roadway improvements, before
even being considered a viable project submission.
12 Under the proposed development at full capacity the project is a
Category "B" Project.
#3
Under Category "B"

HIGHWAY CAPACITY ANALYSIS
._.a===~a============~=D:
To determine the level of service of the adjacent highway links, which
the subject project will impact, it is essential to examine the highway
carrying capacity. Reasonable and acceptable traffic movement can be
achieved if the roadway sections are operating~at or above level of service
~ For a 2-lane undivided highway a total of 15,800 vehicles per day
results in "D" service, for a 4-lane divided highway the figure is 36,000
vehicles per day, for a 6-lane divided highway the figure is 55,800
vehicles per day. These service volumes were taken from the Table 31-1 of
the acceptable DRI standards of which a copy is included in Appendix "B".
Furthermore, to achieve the optimum expected traffic flow it requires that
all links operate at level of service "c" or better, which is 13,100
vehicles per day for a 2-lane undivided highway, 30,000 vehicles per day
for a 4-lane divided roadway, 46,400 vehicles per day for a 6-lane divided
roadway.
(
A careful examination of the daily traffic figures shown in Figure #4
.was made so that the highway link capacities (refer to Figure #8) could be
determined. Under the existing traffic levels it is evident that Congress
Avenue both north & south of Woolbright Road is operating at "n" level of
service. However, Palm Beach County has scheduled in fiscal year 86/87 to
reconstruct this section of highway to a 4-lane divided facility, which
will alleviate the capacity deficiencies. The section of Woolbright Road
between the intersection & SW 8th Street & 1-95 ramps will be impacted with
a substantial level of turning movement traffic. Thus even though the link
capacity analysis indicates that this section of highway is at "c" level of
service based on the Daily Service Volumes presented in Table 31-1, the
true indicator of level of services are realistically determined by
performing a critical lane analysis of the AM & PM peak traffic.
l'
I
To determine the peak hour impacts, it is necessary to evaluate the
traffic movements at the critical adjacent intersections, which are
Woolbright Road & SW 8th Street, Woolbright Road & 1-95 ramps, Congress
Avenue & Woolbright Road, and Seacrest Boulevard & Woolbright Road. By
utilizing the Transportation Research Circular #212, the Critical Movement
Analysis" methodology, a determination of the actual level of services can
be made. The analysis as shown in Appendix "B" clearly substantiates that
certain intersectional improvements will be necessary at SW 8th Street & at
I-95 on Woolbright Road. To alleviate these critical intersectional
capacity deficiencies, it will be necessary to incorporate certain positive
traffic operational improvements. The intersection of Seacrest Boulevard &
Woolbright Road during the evening peak periods is experiencing certain
delays under existing conditions. Since the traffic impact level of these
projects is minor, the same level of service "D" will remain. Thus the
impact is insignificant.

SW 8TH STREET CORRIDOR HIGHWAY REQUIREMENTS
__~.==_=========___=__a_.=__._.._.__....._=
To properly serve the proposed development and to provide safe &
reasonable highway conditions for the traveling public, it is essential to
establish recognized transportation guidelines for the SW 8th Street
corridor. The following comments address the recommended highway
requirements:
II SW 8th Street shall be constructed as a 4-lane divided highway between
Woolbright Road & the Industrial Access Road to the M1 property.
#2 Only one median opening shall be provided between Woolbright Road &
the Industrial Access Road, which shall jointly serve the' office
complex on the westside & the shopping area on the eastside. The
median shall be spaced midway between the two intersecting roadways.
c-.
<...
1
13 In developing the main access to the church, it shall be aligned
directly opposite the Industrial Access Road, so that a common median
opening can be utilized.
#4 The Industrial Access Road shall be a 2-lane undivided highway with
adequate right of way to expand to a 4-lane urban collector.
#5
A secondary access to the shopping center shall be positioned a
minimum of 330 feet from the intersection of SW 8th Street. I ~.~.
\..
The access to the residential housing sites shall be spaced SQ'"":"that,.c&:.-.
minimum of 660 feet between access intersections or any sideroad
intersection be maintained. This will facilitate the construction of
left turn lanes & right turn lanes at these two access and thereby not
require that SW 8th Street be a 4-lane divided highway thru this
section.
#6
#8
The location of the access to the residential housing parcel #2 .~ball
be constructed directly opposite the access to the recreational area--
on the westside of SW 8th Street.
#9
All development access onto SW 8th Street Road shall have a left turn
& right turn lane for both ingressing & egressing traffic.
"'"
#10 Access on Industrial Access Road shall have ingress turn lane only.
#11 The intersection of Industrial Access Road & SW 8th Street shall
include two thru lanes, one left turn lane, & one right turn lane for
the north & south approaches and one left turn lane & one right-thru
lane for the east & west approaches.

~
.(
MURRAY.DUDECK & ASSOCIATES
112 The transition area between a 4-lane divided highway & 2-lane
undivided highway has to be carefully delineated and proper lane
balance & continuity retained. Signing & pavement markings shall be
incorporated into the design to insure positive guidance and no
unexpected lane drop or lane change.
#13 The intersection of SW 8th Street & Woolbright Road shall include a
double left turn lane,a single thru lane, and a free right turn lane
on the north & south approaches. The east approach shall include a
double left turn lane, two thru lanes, and a free right turn lane.
The west approach shall include a single left turn' lane, two thru
lanes, and a free right turn lane. Also, the intersection shall be
signalized and coordinated & interconnected with the I-95 signalized,
when the signal is warranted.
FAIR SHARE TRAFFIC IMPACT FEES
=--============================
(
Based on the Palm Beach County Ordinance 185-10, developers are
required to pay a fair share fee for impacts created by their development
traffic. This ordinance has established fee rates for various type of lane
development activity. The following calculations depict the land
development categories, the dollar rate, and the total fee assessment:

CONCLUSIONS
_-=-a==a:_=-=I:
'1 The proposed project will generate a substantial level of traffic
onto SW8th Street, therefore ALL the requirements stated in page 25 of this
report shall be incorporated, to insure proper traffic flow & safety.
#2 The project will generate a significant level of traffic onto
the highway system. However, since Woolbright Road has low daily traffic,
this roadway does not create a Category "A" situation. But the traffic
distributed onto Congress Avenue will create some problems, if you assume
that Congress Avenue is not going to be widened. However, in evaluating
the recent Palm Beach County 5-Year Work Program, this section of Congress
Avenue is scheduled to be 4-laned in fiscal year 86/87. This capacity &
safety improvement will eliminate the traffic concern on this section of
highway.
(-
#3 The Palm Beach Commerce Center will be generating traffic
especially during the peak hours. However in the approval process there
were minimum improvements required. Probably the most critical improvement
necessary is a WE double left turn lane at SW8th Street & a EB double left
turn lane at 1-95 to accomodate the heavy morning peak hour traffic caused
by the Palm Beach Commerce Center development.
#4 . Since the intersection of SW 8th Street is at the bottom of a
downgrade for westbound vehicles, it is essential that traffic flow be
smooth and coordinated. This will not eliminate the rearend accidents, but
can alleviate this real accident concern. Therefore, ALL the
intersectional improvements suggested in the SW 8th Street Corridor Highway
Requirements section are strongly recommended.
#5 All driveway accesses shall meet the sight triangle requirements.
#6 All necessary traffic controls shall be in conformance with the
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
#8 In evaluating the magnitude of traffic impacts of each of the
projects, it is suggested that the fair share percentage impact of each
project be determined by using the following percentages derived from the
daily project generated traffic figures and the peak hour traffic, as
indiated on page 24 of this report.

19 By enhancing SW 8th Street to Woolbright Road, it will encourage
motorists to use that route rather than proceeding north on SW 8th Street
to Boynton Beach Road or to Ocean Drive & Congress Avenue. To further
discourage these corridors, certain traffic controls such as reduced speed
limits, truck restriction, turn restrictions, traffic divertors, etc. could
be implemented if local problems result.
'10 SW 8th Street once built to the north, will provide a direct
connection between Woolbright Road & Boynton Beach Road. Certain minor
alignment & profile changes are recommended in conjunction with the
construction of the SW 8th Street extension. Further improvement of this
corridor has to be a City policy decision. Either thru measures indicated
in item #8 the City will decide to keep the volume low or thru right of way
acquisition & roadway expansion, improve the corridor so it serves as a
minor north--south collector.
(
#11 Since the I-95 Northbound Off-Ramp signalized intersection will
be substantially impacted by the surrounding development, it is recommended'
that this project construct a second northbound ramp left turn lane, so
that traffic proceeding westbound on Woolbright Road will have reduced
delay and the signalized intersection will have more green time on
Woolbright Road.
With the aforementioned transportation improvements, the traveling
public will not be adversely affected by the traffic generated by the
subject development.

TRIP ANALYSIS ON 1ST BAPTIST FACILITIES
_~K~~=~==~~_.=C~~C.~~C=================
To determine the specific trip patterns that will be generated by the
variou~ activities within a Baptist Church complex, discussions with church
officials were conducted. Current church membership is about 250 families,
but with the new facility & continued gro\~th, there is anticipated major
increase in the membership. Based on this data and professional knowledge
on church activities, the following comments are made:
A. Weekday Activities
1. Tuesday evening refreshments @ 5:30 pm in fellowship
hall with about 25 people attenning
evening visitation @ 7:00 pm in the Church
Sanctuary with about 50 people attending
(includes 25 for earlier refreshments)
2. Wednesday -evening meal € 5:30 pm in fellowship hall
with about 100 attending
- evening worship service in the Church
Santuary with about 150 people attending
(includes 100 for earlier meal)
3. Monthly a youth activity like a pizza party, etc.
in the fellowship hall with about 50 attending
Senior citzen program in the fellowship hall
with about 50 attending
4. Annual a special function usually held annually in
the fellowship hall with about 250 attending
5. Daily school facility with capacity of 500 students
B. Weekend Activities
------------------
1. Sunday service
@ 8:00 am there are about 250 people
@ 11:00 am there are about 500 people
@ 7:00 pm there are about 250 people
o 9:30 am includes people who attended the
8:00 am worship service & people who plan
on attending the 11:00 am worship service
3. Sunday school
""'
In recognIZIng the existing church membership & assuming an average of
3 persons/family, a 200% expansion would still nM generate near capacity
for the proposed 1200 seat chuTch sanctuary, since there will be 3 services
and you never can assur.Je 100l~ attendance. The fellO\~shi p hall is used
mostly as an ancillary facility to provide a gathering area for socializing
. before or after worship services Dnd for special social functions.

RE: Response To City Of Boynton Beach Comments On The 4/1/86 Traffic
Impact Analysis Report Prepared For The Shoppes Of Woolbright PCD Land
Use Amendment And Rezoning
MDDM Project I 85-180
Dear David:
I have reviewed the comments made by Mr. Annunziato and the City's
consultant Mr. L Keller. Based on my examination of each comment, I offer
the subsequent responses on each item:
A. Mr. Keller's comments 11 thru #9
---=====--====-============z:==
#1 There obviously is a misinterpretation of use, because I stated
recreational use and not park use. The site plan which was utilized in
my analysis, clearly indicates recreational use, which is much broader
than park use. Based on the closeness of the "residential development
and the size of the recreational area under the BEFORE versus AFTER
land use designations, I disagreed with the suggested trip rates.
However, if the City desires to use those rates, it would result in a
lower number of generated trips by the recreational use.
12 What is the City's basis that 10% to 15% multi-use trips are correct.
I attended an in-depth conference on trip generation recently, which
was sponsored by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The
primary purpose of this conference was to concentrate on a few critical
trip calculation issues. One of those being the multi-purpose trip.
The Colorado--Wyoming ITE Section has conducted a specific study on
this issue and the results indicated mixed use developments were
reduced by 25%. Another study of a strip shopping center of 178,400 sf
indicated that 22.8% of the trips were multi-purpose, which was based
on actual counts versus calculating the total trips by applying the
established trip rates. In discussing this issue, with a number of
recognized traffic engineers at the ITE Trip Generation Conference, the
agreement with these multi-purpose deductions was very unanimously in
favor. Therefore, I strongly recommend that the 25% recommendation is
much more realistic than the suggested percentages.
..
13 I agreed with this comment.
PLANTATION OFFICE: 936 WEST TROPICAL WAY. PLANTATION. FLORIDA 33317. (305) 584.0073
BOCA RATON OFFICE: 21464 WOODCHUCK WAY. BOCA RATON. FLORIDA 33433. (305) <487-3231

14 What is the basis of increased trips to the southwest? Host trips that
will be attracted from that area will probably use 1-95. Furthermore,
since there are a number of commercial developments in the Lake Ida
Road -- Congress Avenue area, these competing attractions will divert
trips, which may have been attracted to the subject development area.
1 would have to evaluate Mr. Keller's method of analysis in estimating
his trip distribution percentages. Also, in referring to Hr. Keller's
Table iI, the difference in traffic on Congress Avenue south of
Woolbright Road is minor. Since trip distribution percentages are
estimations and not an exact science, I fail to see the validity of
this comment.
'5 In discussions with Centure Design, the developer/engineers for the
Boynton Commerce Center, it was indicated that the primary use vas
warehousing and not office. Based on this information, the ITE
Category 150 Warehousing is appropriate, which indicates 4.88
trips/ksf. If it was desired to use a higher rate for this other
development, the increased impact would have to be attributed to the
Boynton Commerce Center and not the subject development.
16 Based on the Hotel/Motel Occupancy rate in Palm Beach County for 1984
as indicated in the Area Planning Board publication, the average rate
is 69.5%. Since all traffic figures are reflected as average annual
conditions rather than peak season, the occupancy rate of 70% is
appropriate.
17 The impact of the future Woolbright Road extension was not included in
the analysis, as well as the new interchange at Boynton Beach Boulevard
& the Florida Turnpike, the new interchange at 1-95 & NW 22 Avenue, and
other macroscopic transportation issues. It was our understanding with
Mr. Annunziato that the scope of this traffic report would not include
such a level of analysis. However, the preliminary analysis of the
2010 year traffic plan forecast, revealed substantially less traffic on
Woolbright Road than originally expected. The above indicated
interchanges will undoubtedly be the significant influencing factors.
18 Without having the detailed capacity analysis, it is difficult to
comment completely on the level of service "E" conclusion by Mr.
Keller. It is unusual to have a lower critical volume and a worst level
of service. Since our critical lane analysis includes an adjustment for
25% RTOR, based on field observations, I can only conclude that this

B. Hr. Annunziato"s comments #1 thru #4
...._____._________--=-__K_______......
II Assuming that Mr. Annunziato's statement is fact, then a total of 420
daily trips would be reduced from the single family vehicle total
indicated in Table '2. Likewise, an increase due to the church/school
of 750 daily trips and over 1800 trips on Sunday would result. Thus
under the existing zoning there would be an increase of 330 daily
trips, as compared to the number of trips indicated in Table 13.
'2 The 7.0 trip rate for multi-family units is the data presented in the
1981 Update Study Of Vehicular Traffic Generation Characteristics
Within Palm Beach County. I intended to use the lTE rate, which is 6.6
trips/unit for low rise multi-family units. The revised trip rate
would reduce the daily trips in Table '2 by 51 vehicles/day.
#3 The trip rate for commercial retail varies based upon the actual square
footage. The 66.7 trips/ksf is for a commercial site of 149 ksf. Under
the existing land use designation, since the commercial site was 135
ksf, the rate would be between 66.7 trips/ksf & 82.0 trips/ksf. The
calculated rate should be 69.6 trips/ksf, which would increase the
trips per day by 391 trips.
#4 If the 74,819 sf figure was correct, the daily trips would be
calculated by using a trip rate of 82.0 trips/ksf, which would result
in 6,135 trips/day. The total daily trips would be 2,870 less than
calculated in Table 12.
Based on the above indicated adjustment, the total trip reduction
would be 2,200 vehicles per day, which would result in a total of 11,811
vpd. versus the total of 17,088 vpd. for the proposed development.
However, generated trips is not an accurate measure of TRUE ]}WACT on the
highway system. It is essential that the passing trips & multi-purpose
trips be adjusted into the analysis because these trips are not impacting
trips.
In examining the traffic numbers for existing zoning & modified zoning
and reviewing the statement that the new zoning change will almost double
the existing zone in traffic generated, I am somewhat confused. The 10,119
vehicles per day is the calculated NEW TRIPS presented in the MDDM report
and I assume that the 6,841 vehicles per day is the calculated NEW TRIPS
determined by Mr. Keller. Then the figure of 12,816 vehicles per day which
is a sum of NEW TRIPS + PASSING TRIPS, as indicated in page 7 of the MDDM
report, was compared to the same 6,841 vehicles per day. The 6,841 figure
reflects 50% of the total traffic and the passing trips would be 25% of the
total traffic. Therefore, an additional 3,420 vehicles per day should be
added to 6,841 before comparing it with the 12,816 figure.

"
The adjustment of commercial impact fee, yas due to the fact that
commercial developments do not generate trips, but attract trips from
residential trip producers. The cost of the residential trip on the system
was being assessed with the residential development and was again being
asssessed with the commercial development. This was conceived as double
dipping. Thus an adjustment in impact fees was agreeded to. However, to
overlook the true traffic generation onto the system, distorts the needed
geometric improvements on the system. In other yords the analysis is using
high figures, which results in needed improvements, when the true volume,
if analyzed under the same geometric conditions, would not require such
improvements.
Please advise if you have any further questions.

RE: Comments @ Planning & Zoning Meeting Held 6/12/86
On The Shoppes Of Woolbright PCD
At The City Of Boynton Beach
MDDM Project 185-180
Dear David:
(
There were two main issues concerning the traffic report that need to
be clarified. One was the peak hour traffic rates that Mr. Keller
disagreed with and the second one is the Woolbright Road eastbound double
left turn lane onto 1-95.
On page 15 of Mr. Keller's report, it is
applicant's percentage of peak hour traffic for the
OFFICE < 100,000 SQUARE FEET, and the M-l were
calculations. I have reviewed these items and
information & comments:
indicated that the
OFFICE/BUSINESS PARK,
differed from their
offer the following
II The office/business park peak hour rates utilized were the latest state
of the art, because they have just recently been published in the SITE
DEVELOPMEh7 AND TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS publication by ITE. This new
trip rate data is much more applicable to the Boynton Commerce Center &
Pylon Interstate developments. I have attached the 2 page section on
this trip generation category for your information & use.
In conducting the analysis, I used the average peak hour trip rates
which are AN (in=I.13 & out-0.21) and PM (in=0.32 & outcl.18). Also,
I used the daily trip rate of 14.3 trips/ksf, to determine peak hour
percentages for the table on page 16. As a check, I did evaluate the
peak hour traffic by totaling the square footage of the Boynton
Commerce Center & Pylon Interstate, which resulted in about 750 ksf.
Then I calculated the peak traffic as follows:

In evaluating the Peak Hour Traffic on page 116, it is important to
note that the passing trips were not deducted for most of the
commercial developments. Especially at the 1-95 interchange
intersections with Woolbright Road and at Seacrest Boulevard &
Woolbright Road, the passing trips are completely existing traffi~;
which was not completely deducted. Thus it is safely to state that ALL
capacity analysis indicated in the 4/1/86 traffic report are
acceptable.
IS
The need for a double left turn lane for eastbound Woolbright Road
traffic desiring to proceed northbound on I-95 has been discussed.
Assuming that all developments build out, it would be necessary during
the evening Hi peak. However, the Woolbright development would
generate a minor amount of the traffic -- 20% of the new left turn
trips or 11% of the total left turns.
(
Additionally, in evaluating the existing bridge, it is important to
note that there exist at least 6 feet between the right thru lane &
the face of the curb. This plus the fact that all lanes are 12 feet,
provides adequate laneage width, to permit a second left turn lane,
without any major bridge work.
Hopefully, with these comments the
Zoning Board will be resolved. Please
questions?
issues raised at the Planning &
advise if there are any further

Business Parks
Description: Business Parks are defined as subdivisions or planned unit
developments containing several office/warehouse buildings. They are simi-
lar to office parks except that buildings are generally one story and no
more than two stories. Some of these parks may have small all-office
buildings, but for the most part, these buildings have office space in the
front with a ~rehouse and loading area in the back. The percentage of
warehouse is variable for each tenant. Also included in some 'business
parks are office/distribution buildings Which will range from 20-30~ office
and the remainder being a warehouse area with large loading docks. This
type of park is different from light industrial uses because much more
parking, landscaping and other similar amenities are included in a business
park. The square footage of the parks that were sampled range from 160,000
to 520,000 sf. Some parks are planned in the Atlanta area of over
1,500,000 square feet. All locations for business parks in this study are
in suburban areas. The density of business parks will range generally from
8-10,000 sf/acre. Leasing agents in these parks stated that the range of
tenants varies almost as much as an office park. There appears to be very
few lawyers or accountants offices, Which often want more prestigious
space, however, engineering firms, publishing companies, medical equipment
companies, travel agencies all seem to be included in the tenants of these
types of parks. Some distribution operators, such as Federal Express, will
have space in this type of park. The tenants in these parks averaged
approximately 55~ office and 45~ warehouse, although the variation in each
building ranged from 100~ office to 30~ office.
Tri~ Characteristics: A.M. peak hour and p.m. peak hour data were
col ected for this study. The a.m. peak hour is the highest one hour
between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m.i the p.m. peak hour is the highest one hour
between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. A truck percentage was collected at one loca-
tion. The percentage was 5.6~ in the a.m. peak period and l.a in p.m.
peak period. By observation, it can be expected that most truck activity
is concentrated in the middle of the day. These trip rates are based on
occupied square footage.
Oata Limitations: There was no modal split data collected. However, the
suburban areas where the data was collected had little or no transit ser-
vice.

prepGred by ~~~~AY-nUDECK & ASSOCIATES. Also, a comparison of the Daily
Trips, External Trips, and Impact Fees \~as made. These revisions are
attached for your review e information.
(
It is important to recognize that the nu~bcr of trips, due to the
recent reduction ill development intensity, has been lowered by over 1200
trips rer day and the true impact to the external high":ay system has been
lighten by about 900 trips per day. This reduction will enhence the
overall traffic operational t safety issues, assu~ing ALL highway/access
i~provencnts rcco~~cndec in my previous report are ret~ined. Thus it my
ojlinion the revised site plan prorosnl does not anversely i~p3ct the

DRIVEUAY VOLlI?iES VS. TRAFFIC ADDED TO THE STREET SYSTEI is a very
important issue "hen you are dealing with conmercial shopping centers. It
has been recognized for a number of years that such a developmcnt does not
produce all new trips, however the data collection has been socewhat
linited and traffic rcports did not include an adjustment for these facts.
Furthermore, the data clearly indicates that the passing motorists is more
readily attracted to the snaller, local shopping centers than the major
plazas. For a ccnter such as the Woolbright peD / Shopping Center, it is
reasonable ~ conservative to deduct 25% of the trips as passing trips,
since rlatn collected on comparable sites exceeded 35%.

RE: Revised COlTL':lcnts To 4/1/86 Traffic Report
On Woolbright Place PUD
Based On City/Developer Stipulated Settlenent
HDn:l Project #85-180
Dear t.lr. \"antman:
During a 12/24/86 meeting with you e :';r. Levy, I was provided with a
copy of the lastest site plan for Foolbright Place pun. FurtherL.ore, you
indicated that this site including the access roadway conficuration was the
lCGolly agreed to pIon and is the Exhibit In TIle Stipulated Settlement.
(
A review C analysis of the current site plan was undertaken.
Additionally, 8 co~parative evaluation of the site plan data & tlle project
land use data presented in page #3 of the 4/1/86 traffic report was made.
The findines indicate that the lastest sitc plan will generate
approxinately 600 vehicles per day less than calculated in tlle traffic
report. This is due to the fact that the number of residential units has
been recuceu and the retail cOr.Jr.lerci::ll ~ office square footage has been
rcduc~d. J'owever, the amount of trip reduction is not significant to alter
any analysis or recol'lfllendations.
Baser. on my review, it iB important to point out that certain St' 8th
Street corunents need to bc revised, becausc of th~ r08(1\...a)" r.Jodifications
depicted in the stipulated settlement site plan. I have attaclled a copy of
the oriCi na] S\,' 6th Street comments i:: conclusions and a copy of the revised
for your information and usc. I have not~ \dth a "I:". .....herever revisions

CONCLUSIOl~S
~========:::=
#1 The proposed project will generate a substantial level of traffic
onto SW8th Street, therefore ALL the requirements stated in page 25 of this
report shall be incorporated, to insure proper traffic flow & safety.
#2 The project will generate a significant level of traffic onto
the highway system. However, since WoolLright Road has low daily traffic,
this roadway does not create a Category "A" situution. But the traffic
distributed onto Congress Avenue will create some problems, if you assume
that Congress Avenue is not going to be widened. Jlowevcr, in evaluating
the recent Palm Beach County 5-Year Work Progran, this section of Congress
Avenue is scheduled to be 4-laned in fiscal year 86/87. This capacity &
safety inprovement will eliminate the traffic concern on this section of
high,,'ay.
(
#3 The Palm Beach Commerce Center will be generating traffic
especially during the peak hours. However in the approval process there
were minimu~ improvements required. Probably the most critical i~provement
necessary is a \~B double left turn lane at S\,!8th Street (., a EB double left
turn lane at 1-95 to accomodate the heavy morning peak hour traffic caused
by the PaIn Beach Commerce Center development.
#4 Since the intersection of S\.! 8th Street is at the bottom of a
do\;ngrade for westbound vehicles, it is essential that traffic flow be
smooth and coordinated. This will not eli~inate the rearend accidents, but
can alleviate this real accident concern. Therefore, ALL the
intersectional improvements sugbested in the SW 8th Street Corridor Highway
Requirements section are strongly recommended.
#5 All drivewBY accesses shull meet the sight triangle requirements.
..
#6 All necessary traffic controls shall be in conformance with the
hanual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
#1: In evaluating the magnitude of traffic inpacts of each of
projects, it is sugcested that the fair share percentage i~pact of
project be determined by using the following percentn2cs derived from
dail y project generated traffic figures anel the peal: hour traffic,

to Boynton Beach HOCld or to Ocenn Drive f.. ConGress Avenue. To further
discourage these corridors, certain traffic controls such as reduced speed

(
#11 Since the 1-95 l:orthbound Off-P.amp signalized intersection will
be substflntiall y impacted by the surrounding development, it is recommended
that this project construct a second northbound ramp left turn lane, so
that traffic proceeding westbound on Woolbright Road will have reduced
delay and the signalized intersection \0:111 have more green time on
Woolbright Road.
