Natural kesources <Note: Analysis references Tara Oaks PUD only.) RESPONSE: Attached Exhibit A represents an expansion of the original Tree Inventory subaitted With the applicant's original application. This inventory indicates a distinct difference between the North and South part of the site. In tact.. the North part or the property had previously been cleared and used fi)"f" many years to graze cattle lan existing dairy barn reaains on the slte). The priaary scrub habitat is located on the South portlon of the property and, in fact, was incorporated in a preservation requirement by the City Council 1n approving the Land Use A.end.ent. The environaental assess.ants referenced in Recreation and Park Hemoranda 190-278 and '90-321 are not required until prior to Site Plan kevlew. Exhibit B contains the exact Environ.enlal kegulation language which was recently adopted in consistency with the require.ents of the adopted Co.prehensive Plan <Section 7.5-59). The reference to scrub oaks contained in Planning Depart.ent Memorandu. No. 90-177 and noted In the ORC report reads as follows: WOn-site vegetation consists priaarily of exotics and clusters of oaks and scrub oaks scattered throughout the south halt ot the site. Based on available intor.ation, there should be no tmpedi.ents to the develop.ent ot the site owing to environ.ental constraints. However, care should be taken to preserve the -- ~~ - .._.----,-~--~-- '... oaks and scrub oak. a. noted 1n the correspondence in the Forester/Horticulturist's aeaorandua in Exhibit "E"." It is the applicant's contention that the Tree Inventory <now further expanded>, the Topography, Soils and Vecetation report in Meaorandua '90-177 and the referenced Parks and Recreation Me.oranda, provide the analysis of natural resources required under Rule 9J-5.006 (2) (~)4. However, additional history of the site is of use here tor the benefit of DCA staff. There is an existing approval of a zero lot line develop.ent for the property under its current ~ow Density Residential designation. Exhibit C, attached her~in, illustrates that the approved plan for seventy-eight lots incorporates 100S of the property in either individually owned lots or streets. The proposed Plan (Exhibit 0> and amend.ent language clusters all of the units on the North half (environ.entally insignificant property) and restricts the use of the South half to preservation or less intensive land uses. The net effect of the proposed densities is the preservation of environmentally significant land as the new units represent clustered multifa.ily development utilizing much less of the property than the approved single family development. Therefore, Exhibit 0 demonstrates the alternative suggestion of the DCA staff to "increase the a.ount of open space on the site to protect natural resour~s." Finally, the proposed amendment contains specific language and conditions which will beco.e part of the Plan. Condition (3) of the new language reads: "(3) The portion of this area which lies to the south ot S.W. Congress Boulevard extended shall be li.ited to recreation facilities, open space, and water .anage.ent tracts to serve the project as well as places of worship. Also, since this area contains habitat for gopher tortoises (Gopherus polyphemus), which are protected by State law, any gopher tortoises which are found in Area 8.k. shall be relocated to this open space, to the maxi.ua extent permissible by State laws and regulations." Finally, an environmental assessment wil I be required prior to any site plan approv~1 as previously noted. " 2. 9 J - S . 006 (2 ) ( c ) (2) Land Use Analy.i. Require.ent. (c) An analysis of the a.ount ot land needed to acco..odate the projected population (Note: Analysis addresses all three (3) projects.) RESPONSE: The proposed a.end.ents represent one chan~e froa Lower Density Residential to Higher Density Residential, one chanRe tro. High Density Residential to Com.ercial, and one change fro. Co..ercial, in part, and Hedlu. Denslty, in part, entirely to Co..erclal. The cu.ulative effect of these changes are as follows: Residential: The residential potential of the three sites including the exlstln~ approval ot 78 units on the Tara Oaks property, the existing plan of 77 units on the south part of the Knuth Road site, and the existing plan ot 159 units tor the Boynton Beach Boulevard Site total 31~ units. The cu.ulative effect of the amend.ents is the reduction of 122 units with 192 units being now located at Tara Oaks PUD. The proposed unit reduction IS consistent with the analysis of the adopted Plan which states that there will be a surplus ot 539 units at buildout. (Future Land Use Element Support Docu.ents I Volume 1 at PaRes 29 and 30) Co..ercial: Knuth Road PCD is an annexation of property froa the County into the City. The' current County Land Use plan for this property Is Co..ercial. The County's adopted Co.prehenslve Plan designates the north ~50 teet High Intensive Co..ercial and the re.alnder of the site as Co..ercial Recreation. There is an existing approval for a co..ercial recreation use of the entire property. The proposed Land Use in the City is consistent with the adopted land use in the County. The Boynton Beach future Land Use Hap showed the site, which is a single parcel of property, with two land use designations, Local Retail Co..erelal and Mediu. Density Residential. The Discussion ot Supply and Demand tor Co..erelal Land in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Ele.ent Support Docu.ents <Voluee No.1, Page 40) specifIcally allows additional co..ercial designations "for .inor Boundary adjust.ents" or "s.all intill parcels.ft The proposed change of the Hediu. Density Residential portion of the site to Local Retail Co..ereial allows the entire site to be developed in 3 ._.....,---_.__.~-------- . unified land use and plan. Therefore, the proposed Local Retail Co..ercial desi,nation within the City of Boynton Beach Is consistent. The location of the site at the periphery of the City indicates that County residents as well a8 City residents can use the site. The Econo.ic Ele.ent of the County Plan indicates that there is a general shortfall of co..erctally desienated land in the unincorporated area both now and In the future and that additional sites .ust be designated. This finding is based upon a study of the County's consultants. CH2H Hill. and has been accepted by DCA in reviewing the County Plan. Attached herein. as Exhibit E. are Co.mercial Needs Charts fro. the Econoaic Ele.ent of the County Plan. Knuth Road PCD is located in Sub-Area SB. Based upon these facls, Knuth Ro.d pcn is consistent with both Plans. Boynton Beach PCD represents the deletion ot approxiaately thirteen acres of High Density Residential designated land fro. the Plan and the addition of approxiaately thirteen acres to the City's inventory of Com.ercial Property. At the tiae of the applicant's sub.ittal a Market Analysis was sub.itted indicating the need for both ot the Planned Co..ercial Develop.ents. These analyses are attached herein as Exhibits F and G. Additionally, the applicant's consultant has written an addendua to address the issues raised in the DCA report and it is attached as Exhibit H. This addendu. again reflects the tact that the .arket crosses the boundary between the City and the unincorp~;ated area. The County's Subarea S8 indicates an existing shortfall of 80 acres while the City Plan's support docu.ents list a surplus of 30 acres. Utilizing both Plans. because of the location of this project at the City's edge, a titty acre deficit exists which can easily absorb this 13 acre site. 3. 9 J - 5 . 006 ( 3 ) 9J -5. 007 (3) (b)L, (b)2.

(Note: Analysis of Knuth Road PCD and B~ynton Beach PCD on 1 y. ) RESPONSE: Applicant believes that Knuth Road PCD and Boynton Beach PCD are consistent with Objectives 1.3 and 2.1 and Policies 1.3.3 and 2.1.3 of the Comprehensive Plan. The DCA Objection does not specify on which roads the amend.ents will exceed the traffic levels of serVlce. Therefore, we are unable to respond at this tiae. However, "r. K.S. Rogers, Tr~~fic Consultant for the applicant, will contact the DCA staffperson to try to clarity this issue. In the interim Hr. Rogers lists the following road improveaents which have been confiraed since the writing of the original traffic analysis: 1. Widening ot Hilitary Trail fro. 2 to 6 lanes north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. 2. Wideninl ot Congress Avenue froa 4 to 6 lanes fro. Boynton Beach Boulevard to Hiner Road 3. Extension of Woolbright Road as a 4 lane facility froa Congress Avenue to Military Trail 4. Announceaent of construction of the interchange at N.W. 22nd Avenue and 1-95. Specifically, Ilems 3. and 4. will drastically eftect Boynton Beach Boulevard's capacity as these two roads will provide two new east-west arterials with 1-95 access.

(Note: Analysis concerns ,all three projects.) RESPONSE: Applicant believes that the listed objectives and policies have been .et when examined individually: Objective ~7. - Applicant believes he has "minimized nuisances. hazards. and other adverse iapacts to the senfHial publIC, t~ ploperty 'Y41~~R, ~na t~ rf'!:i\iR~ntLqJ 6 ~---~-----~ envlron.ents b~ prevent!n, or aln1.1z1n, ~n4 use conflicts-. Specifically, Tara Oaks PUO reaoved approved housing fro., behind a sin,l. 'aally develop.ent and clustered .ultitaaily housinc next to existing .ultifaaily housing (See aerial as Exhibit I>. Additionally, Tara Oaks reaoved buildlng activity froa an area identified as environaentally siRnificant where zero lot line hoaes had a valid existing approval. In the case of Knuth Road peD, the applicant aerely requests to extend the existing approved land use 01 Local Retail Coa.ercial to the reaainder ot the site to prevent the conflict ot a small residential pocket surrounded by Coamerclal. In the case of Boynton Beach PCD, the applicant reaoved high denslty residential property which was located at the main entrance to a regional aall adjacent to existing zoned Industrial property. At the saae tiae. the applicant met frequently with adjacent property owners to assure that appropriate butfering was placed between each of these three projects and adjacent land uses. Access has been designed and routed to avoid any iapact on adjacent properties and the adjacent property owners' association supported the requested aaendaents. In effect, the applicant has removed existing conflicts by virtue of these changes. Objective 1.19 - Applicant believes that these amendaents turther the objective by providing appropriate land uses in appropriate locations while preservin~ environmentally significant areas. -~':-~ Policy 1.16.4 - Applicant nas requested appropriate amendments to the recoamendalions contained in Land Use Probleas and Opportunities to perait the proposed projects. Policy 1.17.1 - Policy reads "Discourage additional co..ercial...uses...except where access is ereatest and lapacts on residential land uses are least." Knuth Road PCD and Boynton Beach PCO aeet this criteria exactly. Both projects front on Boynton Beach Boulevard, a aajor arterial. Directly in front of Boynton Beach PCD there is already a signalized intersection which serves as an entrance to the Boynton Beach Hall and which can provide access to this site as well as correct an existing access problea to the adjacent Post Oft ice to which the applicant has agreed. Knuth Road PCD fronts Boynton Beach Boulevard as well as Knuth Road, a north-south col lector which the appllcant has agreed to fund its future constructlon. Adjacent land uses lnclude COIIIGlerclal, lndustrlal, a post office and a go I t course.

RESPONSE: Goal 10 - <Refers to Tara Oaks only.) As preViously, indicated the City ot Boynton Beach has .et al I the requirements of its plan 1n establishing appropriate ordinances to protect Environ.entally Sensitive Land. The assumption throughout the DCA comments is that the land use chan&e trom Low Density to High Density will result in degradation to the environment. However, as repeatedly demonstrated, the High Density plan preserves a significant area of sensitive land which was preVIously lost in the Single Family concept which was consistent with the existin& Plan and approved tor this site. Continued monitoring of the property wil I take place prior t~any site plan approval. Goal 16 -Goal 16 and the cumulative aspect of the proposed amendments are addressed in th~ response to Land Use Element Objection 2. ~ 20 - This goal is addressed as Response to Land Use Element Objection 3.

Boulevard (lODnecting with Knuth Road. Since this connection i. incorrect, the tmftic IStudy WBS revised to reflect the correct roadway network. Due to our time constraint, the analysis was limited to the necessary tables and trip generation data. The traffic analysis used the same distribution as the 1990 traffic study and relocated the SW Congress Boulevard project trips to Woolbright Road. Please find enclosed tables 1 through 6 which provide the existini conditions. trip .s:eneration, iI'Owth rate analysis and fut\U9 conditions with the rediatribution of traffic. The project trips addressed where those over the 1988 approval (77 single family units). As you can IilBB from Tabla 5, all of the rQadways within the impact area Dleet the level of service (LOS) standards. In addition to the LOB analysis, I prepared 8 driveway analYliB to reflect a change in the driveways. FiJUl'e 1 provides the daily, AM and PM peak driveway volumes and the project volumes at Knuth Road and Woolbright Road H Knuth Road is not extended to the north, based on the projected driveway volumes, a right turn lane would be needed at the driveway to the residential site. Ifhowever. Knuth Road is exended to the north, this right turn lane would not be l1eeded. Tha projectad Tara Oaks volumes at the intersection of Kuth Road and Woolbright ;roed are not sisnifioant, but do indicate the need for an &Xclusive southbound to f:utbound leEt turn lane.

A' " Ms. Tambri J. Heyden City of Boynton Beach P.O. Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 Dear Ms. Heyden: In following the newspaper articles in regards to the Tara Oaks project and furthermore to a telephone conversation that you and I have had in April on the subject, we the residents of Tara Lakes are pleased that the "City of Boynton Beach" has "approved" the extension of Knuth Road through to Woolbright Rd. In addition, we are pleased to learn that there are no longer plans to access the new community from Southwest Congress Blvd. With this in mind, the community of Tara Lakes wishes to ask that the City of Boynton Beach "temporarily" annex the small extension of road that goes beyond Tara Lakes Drive West to the Tara Lakes HOA. In addition, a dead end barricade and caution sign would need to be placed in that position where the road presently ends by the City of Boynton Beach to prohibit illegal vehicle traffic and dumping if this annex is allowed. In regards to this matter, Tara Lakes HOA would like to place a basketball hoop in the "pro- posed" area for the residents of our community to enjoy. As the paved extension of road exists, there would be minimum cost to both Tara Lakes and City of Boynton Beach to allow for such structure. In addition, the "temporary" annex could be removed at a later date if the decision was made to connect Southwest Congress to Knuth Rd or other extension. As the surfacing is already prepared it would be a shame to see this property torn up when it could be used for real community activity. Our plan would make the extension a small park. Possibly a small ficus hedge would be added to give the area some needed aesthetic look also. Please consider our request and advise if you think this is possible. I can be contacted at my office at (407) 997-2299 during normal business hours or at my home in the evening at (407) 737-9173.

We are submitting this revised Minor Master Plan Modification application on behalf of Pulte Homes Corporation South Florida Division contract purchasers of the property and Bill Winchester, owner of the property, and incorporating comments received at the August 15, 1995 TRC Meeting. The latest Master Plan approved on June 8, 1990 reflected a total of 192 multi-family units on the northern portion of the site, an open space/preservation area centrally located, and a church parcel on the southern portion of this site. The proposed Master Plan retains the 192 previously approved units which will now be developed as fee simple townhomes. The open space/preservation tract remains centrally located, and the church parcel remains unchanged on the southern portion of the site. Attached with this application is a revised Master Site Plan for the project reflecting proposed building locations and corresponding lot lines, access points, the recreation area and parking configurations. The Conceptual Landscape Plan specifies proposed landscape buffers and plant material requirements. A previously approved cross section is also included with the submittal set. This cross section has been revised to reflect an agreement made between the Stonehaven Home Owners Association and the property owner The conceptual engineering plans, as well as a boundary and tree survey, are also attached. The perimeter landscape buffer and the building setbacks proposed are consistent with those previously approved. Minor adjustments have been made to the main access for the PUD. The church parcel, which is under separate ownership, will retain the two previously approved access points. The previously approved plan reflected two main access points to the residential parcel. This has been reduced to one main access point which will be controlled with a security gate. Three emergency access locations are proposed elsewhere along Knuth Road. These access Ms. Tambri Heyden August 31, 1995 Page 2 points will be stabilized to support the weight of emergency vehicles. They also will be gated and locked pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue requirements. The developer of Tara Oaks will be constructing Knuth Road from just north of the L-25 Canal south to Woolbright Road including the required crossings over both the L-25 and L-26 Canals. Concurrent with this roadway construction, an eight foot wide bike path will also be constructed on the east side of Knuth Road adjacent to Tara Oaks PUD. A private recreation site of 1.75 acres is provided for Tara Oaks PUD. The active portion of the recreation area is provided adjacent to the main entry. This recreation area has been relocated from the site shown on the previously approved Master Plan to address conditions imposed on the original approval. A passive recreation component consistent with that previously approved is shown in the open space tract and will consist of a jogging trail through the preservation/relocation area and a gazebo or garden amenity at its terminus. A total of five (5) recreational amenities are proposed to receive one half credit for the public recreation land dedication. Consistent with the past approval and the comments again included in Parks and Recreation Memorandum #90-229, the developer will pay a fee in lieu of land dedication for the public park commitment. The attached plans have been revised addressing those issues raised at the TRC meeting of August 15, 1995, and subsequent items included in the TRC comment memorandums issued by each reviewing department. The following is a recap of the comments included in the memorandums and subsequent responses by the project team. POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 0158 1.

This growth rate has been calculated based on the preceding three year's increase in average annual daily traffic in accordance with standard engineering practice. However, engineering judgement must be applied in this special circumstance due to the opening of Woolbright Road from Military Trail to Congress Avenue. The opening of this link in 1991 has distorted the growth trend. The average annual daily traffic counts on Woolbright Road from 1991 to 1994 in 6 month increments may be summarized as follows: YEAR VOLUME 1991 1991/1992 1992 1992/1993 1993 1993/1994 1994 21,085 26,500 29,479 29,310 28,878 27,616 26,825 Mr. William Hukill January 18, 1995 - Page Seven TRAFFIC ASSIGNMENT/DISTRIBUTION (CONTINUED) As can be seen, since 1991/1992 there has been negligible growth on this link and since 1992 the volumes have actually been decreasing. Assuming negligible growth, this link will have adequate capacity to serve the subject development through 1997 and will meet the applicable Performance Standards. PEAK HOUR The A.M. and P.M. peak hour turning movement volumes and directional distributions for the P.U.O. were calculated as follows in the original K.S. Rogers, Consulting Engineer, Inc. report: A.M. GENERATION PEAK HOUR IN OUT RATE GENERATION Multi-Family 0.532 trips/du 102 16 86 Church 0.108 trips/1000 S.F. --2. J. J. TOTAL 104 17 87 P.M.

Separate left turn and right turn lane, north approach, on Knuth Road at the intersection of Woolbright Road. b. Separate left turn and right turn lanes, east approach, on S.W. Congress Boulevard at the intersection of Knuth Road. c. Left turn lane north approach on Knuth Road at the intersection of S.W. Congress Boulevard. d. Left turn lane, north approach on Knuth Road, at the intersection with future Woolbright Road. e. Construct S. W. Congress Boulevard as a two lane collector road from its present terminus, westerly to Knuth Road. f. Construct Knuth Road as a two lane collector road from future Woolbright Road to the site' 8 north property line. Mr. william Hukill January' is, 1995 - Page Eight PEAK HOUR (CONTINUED) Based on a review of the above and the anticipated peak hour turning movements, the above recommendations continue to appear applicable. CONCLUSION This proposed development was addressed with regard to traffic performance by K. S . Rogers, Consul ting Engineer, Inc. in the Traffic Impact Analysis dated April 2, 1990. The analysis addressed 728 trips per day with an anticipated development build- out date of 1993. The analysis presented in this letter has demonstrated that the project will continue to me.t the Tratfio Performance Standards addressed in the previous analysis under current roadway volumes and adjusted growth rates through 1997. In short, all of the addressed links will meet the applicable Traffic Performance Standards in 1997. If you have any comments concerning the above, please call. I am available to respond immediately to any qu~stions you may have. Sincerely, SIMMONS ,~:.~' INC. .' ..... .' ,/ ':',Y'" ~t F.

However, based upon our recent conversations regarding this project, we see the possibility of condemnation proceedings being necessary in order to obtain the off-site easements for the proposed water and sewer I ines to the church parcel. OUr experience tells us that such condemnation proceedings are rarely successful if an al temate access route is readily available. We therefore recarmend that you and your client exhaust all other means toward obtaining said easements before any attempt at condemnation is made. Of course, all costs related to condemnation proceedings on this issue would be borne by your client. PI ease refer any further questions on this matter to either mysel f or Peter Mazzella of this office.

PROPOSED REVISION TO CONCEPTUAL WATER DISTRIBUTION PLAN Dear Mr. Mazzella: My client, Bill Winchester, is presently pursuing an agreement with the Tara Lakes Homeowners Association to obtain a utility easement for a water and sewer connection for the proposed church. You indicated at our earlier meetings that the 16" water main along Knuth Road would no longer be needed since the City's Master Plan does not provide for a feeder along Knuth Road. In view of this change, I am submitting a revised Master Plan showing a new distribution system encompasssing these changes. You will note that we suggest connecting the 12" main at the end of SW Congress Blvd. to the existing 16" main on Knuth Road north of the L-25 canal which will accommodate the muli-family portion of the P.U.D.
