E. POLICE DEPARTMENT: Mr. Sgt. Thompson:
No comments.
F. ENGINEERING DIVISION: Mr. Ken Hall:
9. Item acknowledged.
10. This item has been corrected. See revised sheet 10 1.
11. We have revised the flume cross-section to E-E as requested. See sheet
103.
12. We centralized the location of the handicap stall since this facility will
eventually contain three (3) tenants, each with their own office spaces
which will be spread out over the entire building. A central location will
be most convenient for everyone. This location remains per the original
plans.
13. Public Works is already satisfied with the location of the dumpster
enclosure, which is the same set up as PGD, Inc. and Amerope.
14. Item rescinded per Mr. Hall.
15. Item rescinded per Mr. Hall.
16. We will be submitting a detailed paving plan with the building permit
submittal, designating all concrete paving thicknesses and sub grade
compaction. For now, we have added a note on sheet 101 regarding 5"
concrete paving over 12" compacted subgrade to 98% AASHTO- TI80.
G. BUILDING DIVISION: Mr. Michael Haag:
17. We have added the accessible entrance symbols as requested to sheet 101.

applicable codes. The cross-slope never exceeds 1 :50 as required.
19. We have added the Finish Floor elevation of24.0 within the building
footprint on sheets 101,301 and 302. We have added all flood
information as requested to the site data on sheet 101.
20. Sheet 104 was incorrect and has been revised to designate
"WAREHOUSE" in lieu of "MANUFACTURING".
21. We have added the signage note to the site plan (sheet 101) as requested.
22. Item acknowledged.
23. Item added to sheet 10 1 as requested.

1. FORESTER/ENVIRONMENT ALIST: Mr. Kevin Hallahan:
24. There were no desirable trees on site. A clearing permit was already
issued and the site is now cleared. Prior to clearing, we performed an
environmental study which showed no endangered species to be present
on this parcel of land. Please see attached copy of the report from C & N
Environmental Consultants, Inc.
J. PLANNING AND ZONING: Mr. Michael Rumpf:
25. Item acknowledged.
26. The colors for the wall and gate of the dumpster enclosure have been
added to the detail on sheet 101. We have designated a "turn around area"
on sheet 101. Per the new note on 101, no signage is proposed or
approved for this project at this time. We added a wheel stop in the
standard parking stall detail. Please see the note on sheet 101 regarding
the wall pack lighting on the building. There are no light poles required
for this project. We shall submit photometries for the project at time of
building permit submittal.
27. We have added the open space calculations to the site data on sheet 101.
We have revised note 8 to designate black striping. The mezzanine area is
open to the warehouse that is adjacent to the mezzanine. It will be used
for storage. Since the mezzanine is less than one third of the area it opens
into, it is considered an accessory space and not a second story. We have
elaborated on the mezzanine note on sheet 101.
28. Colored elevations were already submitted.
29. The landscape plan now reflects the heights of the sabal palms. The 40?-
0" landscape buffer on the north side is already shown. Refer to item 26
regarding the wall pack lighting. No light poles required. Since there is a
6' -0" tall existing hedge on the west side, we have eliminated our new
hedge. No hedge is required on the east side since there are no parking
areas to buffer.

At the request of Richard AbreDs, Ahrtns Companies, C & N ~S
Consultants, Ioe (C & N) conducted a gopher tortoise survey on a +/. 1.0 Acie Parcel
known as Lot 4. The site is located within High Ridge Commerce Park, which is situated
on the eastern side of High Ridge l{oad betWeen Hyplluxc)Road and Gateway Boulevard
&ynton Beac~ Florida. Lot 4 abuts Commerce Road to the south aDd Cedar Ridge
Residential Development to the north. Lot 5, which borders the eastern boundary of the
parcel. remains Wldeveloped b.ut has been recently cleared of vegetation while the
western boundary abuts a parcel. currently in industrial use. The results oftbc survey are
as follows.
"
Lot 4 consists. of a rectangular shaped parcel, approximately 135'. in width by
364' in length. AUstralian pine (C'.asuarina equisetifo/ia). indicative of previous clearing
activ,ties, dorlrinates the vegetative canopy. As IS resul~ the ~und is covered by a'very .
thick layer of decaYina pine needles which has displaced the majority of ~"e
groundcove.r species. Other exotic vegetative species noted include Brazilian .~pya
(Schinus lerebinlhifolius). MadagJIscar periwinkle (Catherantus. f'08<<11S), and puncture
vine (TribuJus cis/aides). Very t'~ native species- exist on the parcel due to degraded site
conditions. As a result of the limited forage base and adequate burrowing conditions
(open, sunny areas), it is unlikely that gopher tortoise would occur on site. No burrows
were noted during the sUrvey.
Please call with any questions or concerns
Sincerely.

Re: Traffic Statement
The Morris Building
High Ridge Industrial Park
Boynton Beach, FL
To Whom It May Concern:
The subject project is located at Lot 4, Block 2 of Cedar Ridge, a P.D.D. & High Ridge Commerce Park, a
PJ.D. The applicant is seeking approval for a 16,756 square foot building consisting of 10 % Office and
90% Warehouse.
Per the Official Daily Trip Generation Rate, a warehouse generates 4.82 trips per day per 1,000 square
feet. We estimate 15,104 sf of Warehouse. Thus, 73 trips. Plus, the office generates 24.61 trips per day
per 1,000 square feet. We estimate 1,652 sf of Office. Thus 41 trips.
Since the 114 trips generated are under the minimum requirement of 200 trips per day, a traffic report is
not required for this project.
If you need additional information, please contact me at the office.
