Vick, P.E., ACIP Kimley Horn and Associates, Inc. 4431 Embarcadero Drive West Palm Beach, FL 33407 Re: The Bavarian Haus Restaurant Dear Mr. Vick: The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Planning Department staff has reviewed your parking study for the Bavarian Haus Restaurant dated May 3, 1988. The staff comments are as follows: 1. Field studies conducted in July 1984, are outdated and should be updated. 2. The traffic volume data, which provides the basis for estimating seasonal variations in parking demand between July and the peak season (January through March) is dated 1981-1983 and should be updated. 3. Figure no. I, "Accumulation Survey Zones," is outdated, as noted in item #1 above, and should be updated, as changes have been made in the field to these parking lots. For example, a parking lot variance was approved for the Florida National Bank in November, 1985 which resulted in the elimination of four (4) parking spaces to provide for a driveway connection to the main Forum Shoppes' driveway. 4. Based on the existing shared parking allocation for the cinema, it should be assumed that a supermarket will be occupying the vacant Winn-Dixie store at Leisureville Plaza. It should also be noted that future occupancy of the vacant Winn-Dixie floor space will be limited to those uses which exhibit a parking accumulation curve'equal to or less than the supermarket occupancy. 5. If the shared parking allocation for the Bavarian Haus is resubmitted in connection with approval of a new shared parking allocation or justification for a variance for relief from the 10% shared parking buffer, it is recommended that the report be accompanied by six (6) copies of a site plan which illustrates the restriping scheme for the Winn-Dixie parking lot. The site plan would be submitted to the Technical Review Board to insure compliance with the applicable provisions of the Parking Lot Ordinance. The site plan should also be accompanied by written verification from the owner of Leisureville Plaza indicating that they will allow the restriping of the parking lot. 6. According to the revised data which is based on the restriping of the Winn-Dixie parking lot to add an additional twenty-four (24) parking spaces, there will be a surplus of sixty-six (66) parking spaces at the weekday peak (6:00 p.m.). This translates into a 12% buffer for the cinema, as verified in the report dated May 3, 1988. The buffer for the Bavarian Haus restaurant has been calculated incorrectly, however. The proper calculation should read as follows: 66 surplus - 81 required = *19 spaces provided + 81 shared -15/100 = -15% *33 of the 52 parking spaces at the Bavarian Haus have been allocated for use by the cinema at the 6:00 p.m weekday peak hour. Therefore, to include these spaces for the Bavarian Haus calculation would constitute double utilization of these parking spaces. 7. Based on the buffer calculation outlined in item no. 6, an additional 15 parking spaces would be required to break even, and an additional 25 parking spaces would be required to meet the 10% buffer requirement as outlined below: 91 surplus - 81 required = 10/100 = 10% 19 spaces provided + 81 shared If you have any questions concerning the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Case II 125 Meeting Date: June 13. 1988 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO BE FILLED OUT BY BOARD: BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACT~~: Approved Aye Nay _ Denied Stipulations Signed: Rev. 9/28/87 Attachment A The applicant requests the addition of 60 seats to the approved 190 seats. The site is approved for 190 seats. The other uses in the shopping center were approved at their present state. The uses do not and did not at the time of approval meet the 10 percent surplus shared parking requirements defined. The applicant wishes, given these existing conditions, to add 60 seats while meeting the code for one space for every 2.5 seats. An addition of 24 spaces would mitigate the impact of the addition while providing no further detriment to existing conditions. We therefore, request a variance to waive the buffer requirements on the Bavarian Haus addition. ., II 4051 TOOM.sor / jsl -1- Attachment B Responses to Question A-F a. A special condition exists in that the proposed expansion of the Bavarian Haus access in a shopping center that was approved prior to the inclusion of the buffer calculation into the buffer code. The applicant will provide 24 spaces to the site to allow 60 additional seats in conjunction with code. All other assumptions remain the same as in the previously approved report. Therefore, the denial of the application is based on the inability to mitigate previously approved impacts. b. The applicant can mitigate proposed impacts by adding 24 spaces to the existing lots. However, the buffer that cannot be met (the cinema buffer) is part of existing conditions previously approved. c. The granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privileges. The new addition must provide 1.0 spaces for each 2.5 seats. This has been done. The variance would allow the applicant to proceed without mitigating existing features of the center not under his ownership that do not meet buffer code. d. If'lthis applicant were to increase his seating by the same number of seats and increase the spaces accordingly in an existing site approved under the new codes, the restaurant addition would likely be approved. The applicant has been denied because previously approved development does not meet existing buffer codes. e. T-he variance requested is the minimum considering that the applicant is requesting a variance to be precluded from providing buffers for other uses in the shopping cen ter. f. The granting of the variance will not disrupt the general intent or purpose of the buffer nor will it be injurious to the area of detrimental to the public welfare. The overall site has developed with available parking throughout the site. Given the existing approval, the past operations of the site, the existing operations of the site and the applicant's agreement to restripe the adjacent parking lot as mitigation of the seating addition, the proposed seating will be in harmony with the aforementioned concerns and intent of prior approvals. 4051 TOOM.sor / jsl -2-
