DATE:
SUBJECT:
Candlewood Plaza - 1 st Review
We offer the following comments on this project:
GENERAL COMMENTS
1) All utilities easements shall be shown on the rectified landscaping drawings so that we may
determine which trees may interfere with utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree
species allowed within utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so
that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the foreseeable future.
LD R Sec. 7.5-18.1 gives public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.
2) Dept. of Health permits may be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project. (Sec.
26-12).
3) Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1500 g.p.m. as
stated in LDR chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters,
whichever is greater. (see Sec. 26-16(a)). Please submit these calculations with your Health
Department permit submittal.
4) Sec. 26-34(E) of the City Code requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this project
either upon my request for signature on the Health Dept. application forms or within 30 days of site
plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final meter size, or
expected demand.
5) Comp Plan policy 3C.3.4 requires the conservation of potable water. City water may not,
therefore, be used for irrigation where other sources are readily available.
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
1 ) Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility
easements. Please show all proposed easements on the engineering drawings, using a minimum
width of 12 feet. The easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in
Sec. 26-33(a) of the Code.
2) This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities, on condition that
the systems be fully completed, and given to the City before the first permanent meter is set. Note
that setting of a permanent water meter is a prerequisite to obtaining the certificate of occupancy.
3) LDR chap. 6, Article IV, Sec. 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200 feet of
an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by
showing all hydrants
4) A building permit for this project shall not be issued until this office has approved the plans for the
water and/or sewer improvements required to serve the project. (Sec. 26-15)
Please refer any questions on this matter to Peter Mazzella (742-6404) of this office.

1 st review comments
We have reviewed the plans for the above-referenced project. The applicant must acknowledge
and address the below listed comments before the project is presented to the Board for their
reVIew.
Buildin~ Division (Permit & Site Specific Comments) - Michael E. Haa~ (561) 742-6352
1. Add to the buildings that are depicted on the drawing titled conceptual site plan a labeled
symbol that identifies the location of the handicap accessible entrance door to the building
and each tenant space within both buildings. Submit the required floor plan drawings. Show
and label the same door(s) on the floor plan drawings.
2. Add to the drawing titled site plan a labeled symbol that represents and delineates the path of
travel of the accessible route that is required between the accessible parking spaces and the
accessible entrance door to each tenant space. Add a note to the plan that would indicate that
the symbol represents the accessible route and the route is designed in compliance with
Section 4.3 (Accessible Route) and 4.6 (Parking and Passenger Loading Zones) of the
Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction. The symbol shall start at the
accessible parking space(s) and terminate at the accessible entrances to the building. The
symbol shall represent the locations of the path of travel, not the locations of the detectable
warning or other pavement markings that are required to be installed along the path. Please
note that at time of permit review the applicant shall provide detailed documentation on the
plans that will verify that the required 44" wide accessible route is in compliance with the
regulations specified in the Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction.
3. Within the site data found on the sheet titled conceptual site plan, identify the proposed
finish floor elevation of all buildings (lowest floor elevation). Verify that the proposed
elevation complies with regulations of the code by adding specifications and notes to the site
data that address the following issues:
a) From the FIRM map, identify the title of the flood zone that the building is located
within. Where applicable, specify the base flood elevation. If there is no base flood
elevation, indicate that on the plans.

management construction development regulations. [Section 3107.1.2, Chapter 31 of the
Boynton Beach amendments to the 1997 edition of the Standard Building Code]
c) Identify the floor elevation that the design professional has established for the building
within the footprint of the building that is shown on the site plan, floor plan and civil
plan.
4. On the drawing titled site plan, identify the symbol that represents the property line.
5. At time of 2nd review, submit a current survey of the subject property.
6. Add to the drawing titled site plan all of the easements that are shown on the survey. The
location, type and size of the easement(s) shall be shown and identified on the site plan.
Where applicable, amend the plans so that structures do not encroach into an easement.
7. Add to the drawing titled site plan a labeled symbol that represents the location of the
proposed site lighting poles. Add a note to the site plan indicating that the locations of the
site lighting poles are conceptual. Also, note the following: "Site lighting will be evaluated
at time of permit review. The proposed site lighting fixtures will illuminate the site
consistent with the specifications identified in the Parking Lot Code." Include within the
note the overall height dimension of the site lighting pole and fixture. The overall height of
the pole/fixture shall not exceed the height limitations of the Zoning Code.
8. Add to the site data the number of stories in each building. Also, indicate the overall height
of each building (finish grade to the highest point of the roof or parapet wall). The overall
height of the buildings shall not exceed the height limitations of the Zoning Code.
Dimension the overall height of the buildings on the elevation view drawings of the building.
9. At time of permit review, identify on the drawing titled site plan the actual setback
dimension from the leading edge of each building to the adjacent property lines. Please note
that overhangs, covered walkways, canopies, awnings or other appurtenances that are
attached to the building shall be considered when identifying building setbacks. Therefore,
identify the width of the overhang, covered walkways, canopies, awnings, etc. The building
setbacks shall comply with setback regulations specified in the Zoning Code.

EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SETTING/
EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS
Roadway Characteristics
The proposed development is bounded generally by Congress Avenue to the west and SW
30th A venue to the south. Immediately north of the site is the (Golfview Harbor) residential
development, and a self-storage warehouse is located east of the proposed development.
The site will be accessed via three driveways. A north/south-oriented driveway will be
constructed at the southern boundary of the site accessing SW 30th A venue. This driveway will
provide full access to SW 30th Avenue. The remaining two driveways will provide access to
Congress A venue. They are located approximately 300 feet and 620 feet north of SW 30th A venue,
respectively. Each driveway will allow only right turns in and out.
The major north/south roadways in the area of the site are 1-95 and Congress Avenue. The
nearest access from the site to 1-95 is via the Woolbright Road interchange. The major east/west
oriented road in the area is Woolbright Road.
Congress Avenue is a six-lane divided County Arterial adjacent to the site. 1-95 (SR-9) is
part of the Interstate Highway System. It is a six-lane limited access facility in the vicinity of the
site.
Woolbright Road is a County Arterial providing a four-lane divided cross-section between
Military Trail and Congress A venue and a six -lane cross-section between Congress Avenue and 1-95.
SW 23rd A venue/Golf Road is a three-lane Local Collector between Congress A venue and Seacrest
Boulevard.

Existing Traffic Volumes
To establish the relationship between site generated traffic and existing traffic on the
surrounding roads, the most current traffic count data were obtained from Palm Beach County. The
daily count data provided by the County are presented in Table 1.
Based on Palm Beach County's 1998/99 Traffic Coun~Volumes Map, Congress Avenue
north and south of SW 30th Avenue is carrying 32,264 and 27,527 vehicles on a typical weekday,
respectively. SW 23rd Avenue/Golf Road is carrying 9,573 vehicles per day, west of Congress
Avenue and 11,800 vehicles per day east of Congress Avenue.
Existing Traffic Conditions Analysis
Currently, all roadway links within the two-mile radius of development influence operate at
Level of Service D or better, as presented in Table I, except for the links of Lake Ida Road from
Barwick Road to Congress Avenue, Woolbright Road from 1-95 to Seacrest Boulevard, and 1-95
from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Woolbright Road and from Woolbright Road to Atlantic Avenue.
These four links currently operate at Level of Service F.

FUTURE CONDITIONS ANALYSIS
Background Traffic Growth
Candlewood Tower Plaza is projected to be completed and occupied by the end of2000. The
historical growth rates for the links in the study area vary from -1.96% on SW 23rd Avenue/Golf
Road east of Seacrest Boulevard to 7.63% on Congress Avenue north of Lake Ida Road. The
projected 1998/1999 to 2000 background traffic growth rates and resulting volumes are summarized
in Table 1. The historical growth rates were obtained from the most current Compound Growth Rate
Analysis provided by Palm Beach County.
Assured Construction
At this time, no planned or programmed roadway construction projects within the study area
are included in the Palm Beach County or the Florida Department of Transportation Five- Year Road
Program.
Project Trip Generation
The trip generation characteristics associated with the proposed Candlewood Tower Plaza
were estimated based upon a methodology approved by the Palm Beach County Traffic Division.
This includes utilization of the daily trip generation rates provided in the Palm Beach County Fair
Share Road Impact Fee Schedule for General Commercial Retail, General Office and High Turnover
Sit-down Restaurant. The pass-by trip rates for each land use were also obtained from the County's
Fair Share Road Impact Fee Schedule. The average daily trips for the proposed business hotel use
were calculated based on the average rate for Business Hotel (Land Use Code 312) from the Institute
of Transportation Engineer's Trip Generation, 6th Edition. The project's trip generation is
summarized in Table 2. Given the mixed use nature of the proposed development, which includes
hotel, retail, office and restaurant, it is reasonable to assume that some trips for each use will
originate on site, with interaction between these compatible uses. Accordingly, internal capture rates
were developed and applied. The anticipated internal capture characteristics are reflected in Figure
2.

As reflected in Table 2, the net "new" daily traffic to be generated by Candlewood Tower
Plaza is estimated to be h...!.22 trips per day. The net "new" trips generated during the morning and
afternoon peak hours were estimated to be }.Q3 and l2lPeak hour trips, respectively. This estimate
was based on the morning and afternoon peak-hour trip generation rates or equations for Land Use
312 - Business Hotel, Land Use 710 - General Office, Land Use 820 - Shopping Center, and Land
Use 832 - High Turnover Sit-down Restaurant, as presented in the Institute of Transportation
Engineer's Trip Generation, 6th Edition.
Project Traffic Distribution and Assignment
Traffic generated by the proposed Candlewood Tower Plaza will travel to and from the site
via different routes, depending upon the location of trip origin and destination of customers and
employees, and the points of access to the site from the area roadway network. The expected
distribution of the site-generated traffic is based upon a review of current traffic patterns in the
vicinity and surrounding land uses. This project traffic distribution is depicted in Table 1.
Application of the geographic distribution percentages to the 2,199 daily trips estimated to be
generated by the site produced the project traffic that was added to the area roadway network. The
resulting volumes are also reflected in Table 1.
Future Traffic Conditions Analysis
Traffic to be generated by the project site was added to existing traffic volumes and
background growth traffic to produce the total future daily traffic volumes at the project buildout
(2000), as shown in Table 1.
The future traffic volumes in Table 1 were analyzed in accordance with Section 7.9(D) of the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. This section provides two standards that must
be met by all projects seeking a Site Specific Development Order. The first test (Test 1) generally
requires that the project not add traffic within the Radius of Development Influence which would
impact the operation of any link which exceeds the adopted level of service. The second test (Test 2)
requires that the project address traffic on any link within the Model Radius of Development
9
Influence to insure that the total future estimated "model" traffic does not exceed the adopted level of
servIce.
For Test 1, the Radius of Development Influence is based on the traffic generated by the
project. The traffic generated by the proposed development (2,199 trips per day), requires that links
within a two-mile radius be C\~,~!:.e~<::.~. As reflected in Table 1, daily traffic volumes within the
radius of development influence are presently well below the adopted Level of Service D capacity
threshold for each roadway link, with the exception of Lake Ida Road between Barwick Road and
Congress Avenue, Woolbright Road between 1-95 and Seacrest Boulevard, and 1-95 between
Boynton Beach Boulevard and Woolbright Road, and between Woolbright Road and Atlantic
Avenue, where each link operates at Level of Service F under existing conditions.
As stated in Subsection 2.(E), Table 2A of the Traffic Performance Standards, where a
proposed project has a Radius of Development Influence greater than one-half (.5) mile, then that
Project must address only those links beyond the one-half (.5) mile radius on which its net trips are
greater than one percent (1 %) of the Level of Service D service volume of the affected link. The
Lake Ida Road segment of concern is projected to carry project traffic equal to 0.81 % of the Level of
Service D service volume. This level of project traffic is less than the one percent threshold and,
therefore, satisfies Test I.
The same conclusion was arrived at for the link of Woolbright Road between 1-95 and
Seacrest Boulevard, which is projected to carry project traffic equal to 0.75% of the Level of Service
D service volume.
The Traffic Performance Standards state that impacts to 1-95 shall only be addressed if the
net project trips are greater than five percent (5%) of the Level of Service D service volume of that
link.
All of the 1-95 segments of concern are projected to accommodate an insignificant level of
project traffic, ranging from 0.23% to 0.00% of their respective capacity. This is less than the five
percent threshold dictated by County standards. Therefore, all segments of concern satisfy Test I.
10
As for Test 2, the Maximum Model Radius of Development Influence is also based on traffic
generated by the project. For a trip generation level of 2,199 trips per day, a Model Radius of
Development Influence of one (1) mile must be addressed. The most current Test 2 map provided by
the Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division indicates no roadway links within the one-mile
radius which fail the Model Test. Therefore Test 2 is also satisfied.
Site Access
Access to the proposed Candlewood Tower Plaza will be provided via three driveway
connections to the property. Two driveway connections will access Congress Avenue. They are
proposed to be located approximately 300 feet and 620 feet, respectively, north ofSW 30th Avenue,
and will allow right-in and right-out movements only. The remaining driveway connection will
provide access to SW 30th Avenue and will allow all movements. Figure 3 schematically depicts the
configurations of the driveways and the projected Daily, AM and PM peak-hour traffic volumes for
Candlewood Tower Plaza. The estimated morning and afternoon peak-hour driveway volumes were
developed based on rates obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation,
6th Edition, for Business Hotel, General Office, Shopping Center and High Turnover Sit-down
Restaurant. The proposed driveways will be designed to the appropriate classification standards and
will provide safe and adequate ingress and egress to and from the site.

CONCLUSIONS
McMahon Associates, Inc. has reviewed the traffic impacts of the proposed Candlewood
Tower Plaza, in accordance with the City of Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County Traffic
Performance Standards. As indicated in the previous report sections, all requirements ofthe Traffic
Performance Standards are met at the proposed buildout date of2000. Safe and efficient access will
be provided via the proposed driveway connections to the property. Based on these findings, it is
recommended that this project be approved.
