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, a four foot sidewalk 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 including a request outlined in Police
Memorandum #90-056 and Recreation and Parks Memorandum #90-229. A passive
recreation component consistent with that previously approved is shown in the open
space tract and will consists 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.
Attached with this letter is a comparison of impacts for the project. You will note that in
all areas this project is consistent with the impacts previously approved. If you have any
questions or concerns in regard to this application, or if you need any additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact either Marcie Tinsley in this office or
myself. Thank you in advance for your past time and future consideration for this project.

TARA OAKS
PRESERVE MANAGEMENT PLAN
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Tara Oaks is a proposed residential development project located north of Woolbright
Road in Boynton Beach, Florida (Figure 1). The Tara Oaks Preserve Management Plan has
been developed in response to the development review conditions set forth by the City of
Boynton Beach, Florida. The objective of the following management plan is to provide a
comprehensive program for habitat restoration, management, and long-term maintenance of the
required upland preservation area. Management goals upon implementation of this plan include:
(1) restoration of the upland preserve area through preservation and on-site relocation of suitable
native vegetation and removal of exotic, nuisance, and weedy vegetation to allow native seed
sources to become established; (2) protection of natural resources during all phases of
construction; (3) establish guidelines for continued protection of the preserve area; and (4)
provide a long-term maintenance program for the benefit of all natural resources including
wildlife and protected flora species located within the preserve area. Other components of the
plan include exotic/nuisance plant species removal and control, as well as specific habitat
enhancement techniques necessary to maintain a functioning biocommunity.
2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
The +24 acre Tara Oaks parcel is located in Section 30, Township 5 South, Range 43
East, Boynton Beach, Florida is undeveloped and situated adjacent to the residential
developments of Quail Ridge Golf Course Community to the west, Banyan Creek to the north,
and Clipper Cove to the east. Woolbright Road is located south of the parcel boundary. The
northern and southern boundaries are abutted by drainage canals. The site has been previously
cleared of most native vegetation and revegetated in predominately exotic and weedy species.
Extensive refuse dumping has occurred throughout the parcel.
3.0 SOILS
The primary soil type (Figure 2) found on site is Pomello fine sand (Phb). This is a
nearly level, moderately well drained, deep, sandy soil that has a dark weakly cemented layer
below a depth of 30 inches. Under natural conditions, the water table is within 24 to 40 inches
of the surface for 1 to 4 months during wet periods, and below 40 inches during the remainder
of the year. Drainage has lowered the historic water table in this soil type to below 40 inches
throughout the year. Pomello sand commonly occurs on low ridges and knolls vegetated in
scrubby flatwood plant communities.

In addition, a small area of Basinger fine sand (Ba) occurs in the northern and southern
edges of the site. This is a nearly level, poorly drained, sandy soil found in broad grassy
sloughs in the eastern part of the county. The water table is within 10 inches of the surface for
2 to 6 months in most years and within 10 to 30 inches for the rest of the year. Drainage has
occurred via adjacent drainage canals significantly altering the hydroperiod resulting in a lowered
water table throughout the entire parcel.
4.0 VEGETATION
Vegetative species occurring on the property are indicative of clearing activities and
ecosystem disruption. The majority of species occur as secondary growth, resulting from a dairy
farm business that once existed there. Nearly all native vegetation was removed for the purpose
of creating improved pasture for the animals. Secondary growth recruited in the form of exotic,
fast growing, weedy species with which native vegetation cannot compete.
The northernmost portion of the site is completely dominated by a monoculture of
Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius). These mature trees form an extremely dense canopy
and allow very little sunlight to penetrate beneath. As a result, understory or ground cover
species do not exist in this area.
The central section of the site consists of a scattered canopy of predominately scrub oak
(Quercus geminata, Q. myrtifolia, Q. Chapmaniz), and earleaf acacia (Acacia auricuZiformis).
Other species such as saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), fetterbush (Lyonia ferruginea), and
gallberry (Iiex gZabra) are barely visible due to the preponderance of grape vine (Vitis
rotundifolia) which completely covers the area. Only tiny "island like" formations in this section
support native species and these are stressed from the invasion of Brazilian pepper and Caesar's
weed (Urena Zobata).
In the south section, small remnants of the former scrubby flatwoods community continue
to occur. While this appears to be the least disturbed portion of the site, exotic species still
dominate the area. Canopy vegetation consists of slash pine (Pinus elliottz), sand pine (Pinus
clausa), and Brazilian pepper. Also observed were prickly pear cactus (Opuntia compressa),
panicum grass (Panicum spp.), downy myrtle (Rhodomyrtus tomentosus), and dog fennel
(Eupatorium capiliffolium).
5.0 ENDANGERED/THREATENED SPECIES
Listings of plant and animal species considered to be endangered, threatened, or of
special concern by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Florida Game and Fresh Water
Fish Commission (FGFWFC), and the Division of Plant Industry of the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) were examined to develop a summary list of
protected species possibly occurring in southern Palm Beach County. Eight plants, one
amphibian, three reptile, one bird, and one mammal species were included on the list of state
and federally listed species possibly occurring within the parcel, based upon known or expected
C&N Environmental Consultants, Inc.

population distributions, preferred habitat types, and in-field observations. Of these, one state
listed reptile, gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), is known to occur on the property.
Commensal species including gopher frog (Rana areolata), eastern indigo snake (Drymarchon
corais coupen), and Florida mouse (Podomys floridanus) also may occur on the parcel.
It should be noted that Florida Statute 581.185 generically designates most of the state's
native species of bromeliads, ferns, and orchids as threatened. It is likely that some of the
bromeliads (Tillandsia sp.), very common in Palm Beach County, also occur on the site.
Determinations of the probable geographic distribution of endangered or threatened plant
species and the likelihood of their occurrence on the parcel are based upon Ward (1978),
Wunderlin (1982), and Popenoe (1981), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service data, White (personal
communication), and Florida Natural Areas Inventory records. Endangered plants are defined
in Florida Statutes 581.185 as "species of plants native to the state that are in imminent danger
of extinction within the state, the survival of which is unlikely if the causes of a decline in the
number of plants continue, and includes all species determined to be endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973". Threatened plants are defined as
"species native to the state, but which have not so decreased in number as to cause them to be
endangered" .
Vertebrate wildlife species considered to be endangered, threatened, or of species concern
by the FGFWFC are designated in Chapter 39-27 of the Florida Administrative Code. From
this overall list, only the gopher tortoise has been verified as occurring with the parcel.
State and federally listed floral species included in the search were scrub mint (Conradina
grandiflora), nodding pinweed (Lechea cernua), four-petal pawpaw (As imina tetramera), Curtiss'
milkweed (Asclepias curtissz), prickly pear cactus (Opuntia compressa), sand spikemoss
(Selaginella arenicola), scrub palmetto (Sabal etonia), and various air plants (Tilandsia spp.).
Three scrub mint plants and prickly pear cactus were observed on the parcel. Other
protected species not observed during field surveys could potentially recruit following habitat
management.
6.0 WILDLIFE UTILIZATION
Wildlife observed utilizing the parcel include armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus),
mockingbird (Mimus polyglottus), osprey (Pandion haliaetus), quail (Colinus virginianus),
loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), muscovy duck (Carina moschata), black racer (Coluber
constrictor), raccoon (Procyon lotor), mourning dove (Zenaida macroura), cardinal (Cardinalis
cardinalis), and blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata). Feral cats (Felis sylvestris) were observed often
during the survey. Feral cats pose a significant problem for native wildlife species due to their
predatory nature. Disease transmission to both wildlife and humans is also a possibility.
Therefore, it is recommended that all feral cats be trapped by a licensed nuisance species
technician and delivered to Palm Beach County Animal Control.

7.0 MANAGEMENT
Due to degraded site conditions, management on the Tara Oaks site must first address
biocommunity restoration within the proposed preserve area. This will necessitate eradication
of exotic weedy and nuisance species which are presently dominating the parcel. Prescribed
burning is the preferred method of scrubby flatwoods habitat management. The potential
benefits of fire are well documented, however, the location and disturbed condition of the
preserve area precludes the use of prescribed fire as a method for achieving management
objectives. Because of the proximity of residential development, the small size of the area, and
high level of litter present, it would be unwise to attempt even a carefully monitored prescribed
fire regime. Therefore, mechanical management is recommended to achieve optimal habitat
conditions.
A. Purpose
The purpose of the management plan is to:
1. Implement appropriate techniques necessary to eradicate exotic and weedy
opportunistic species presently dominating the site;
2. Provide optimal conditions for restoration of native vegetation and wildlife
habitat;
3. Preserve native vegetation and restore a functioning biocommunity;
4. Provide a refuge for wildlife residing in the project vicinity;
5. Maintain optimal habitat conditions for wildlife through appropriate
management.
Mechanical management of vegetative communities in the preserve area will be
implemented to maintain and enhance the habitat quality and wildlife values for plant and animal
species occurring within the preserve area. While somewhat more intrusive and less natural than
fire as a management tool, mechanical measures can be very effective in achieving the ecological
objectives of habitat management.
B. Objective
Judging from the present condition of the preservation area, benefits from
mechanical management appear limitless. The area has been rendered almost completely useless
as habitat for wildlife or native plant species. Mechanical management activities will include
"opening up" the area by decreasing the density of the vast amount of overgrown weedy species
that are choking out this once productive area. The techniques that follow, if regularly
implemented, will effectively arrest exotic and nuisance species invasion and maintain this
scrubby flatwoods community in a state most beneficial to indigenous wildlife species.

1. Preserve Size and Configuration
The preservation area, comprising + 1.7 acres, was selected on the basis
of degree of disturbance and potential for restoration as compared to other areas within the Tara
Oaks property boundaries. It is located on the southern portion of the site, an area less impacted
by disruptive grazing activities of dairy cattle that once utilized the parcel. The northern portion
of the site supports a tall and extremely dense monoculture of Brazilian pepper forming an
almost impenetrable thicket which allows for no understory growth. There are virtually no
native plants remaining on this portion of the site. The southern area of the property, although
still dominated by weedy and exotic species, supports visible remnants of the former scrub
community. The L-shaped configuration preserves a cross-section of the parcel rather than a
linear area on either side of the property. This wide configuration provides a more viable area
and a more open ecotone to satisfy habitat requirements (Figure 3).
2. Habitat Ouality
The preserve area is primarily comprised of a low quality remnant scrubby
flatwoods community with a preponderance of highly invasive weedy plant species, mostly
muscadine grape (Vitis sp.) vines. These vines completely cover the ground to a height of two
to three feet in most areas. Ground cover species still persisting in the area include shiny
blueberry (Vaccinium myrsinities), camphorweed (Heterotheca subaxillaris), and golden aster
(Crysopsis spp.); as expected they are exhibiting characteristic signs of stress.
Native canopy species losing the battle against the suffocating grape vine include slash
pine (Pinus elliottiz), cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), and various
scrub oak species. Earleaf acacia (Acacia sp.), an exotic canopy species, the only competitor
for the grape vine due to its propensity for rapid growth, is thriving.
Portions of the preserve not covered by muscadine grape vine have been taken over by
a thickets of staggerbush (Lyonia fruticosa). This species occurs in great densities as a virtual
monoculture within the southeast portion of the preserve area. Although not usually considered
a "weedy" species, lack of natural disturbances and competition have added to the proliferation
of this species on site.
Loss of a diverse native seed source has allowed the invasion of opportunistic weedy
plant species within the preserve which have eliminated all areas of bare soil have valued by
scrub wildlife species. However, with effective mechanical management techniques, the
preserve could again provide excellent habitat for wildlife and native plant species. The
following prescription minimizes adverse impacts whenever possible to protect the ecosystem
under management.

3. Mechanical Management Prescription
Prior to the implementation of mechanical management and clearing
activities, the entire site will be surveyed for the presence of vegetative candidates for relocation.
Every effort will be made to maintain a "no net loss" of trees. This will include all listed
species previously mentioned as well as others that would contribute to the creation of a viable
scrubby flatwoods habitat. These species will be flagged to prevent disturbance during
construction. Species already occurring on the preserve area will be flagged also. The City of
Boynton Beach Urban forester will be required to approve the vegetation flagged for relocation
to ensure consistency with the City's Landscape Code and the Preserve Management Plan
Once the survey is completed and the City has approved the flagged vegetation,
mechanical management of the preserve area will commence. Due to the extent of unwanted
vegetative species, hand cutting/removal is not a practical method of eradication. A small-bladed
bulldozer is recommended to lightly scrape down the area but minimize impacts to the soil and
to minimize disturbances to the surrounding (flagged) native vegetation. At no time will track
equipment be allowed within the drip line of canopy species in the preserve area as scrubby
flatwood species are sensitive to compaction. Areas comprised of staggerbush and other
overgrown native vegetation will be thinned out manually or with machinery where practicable.
Larger exotic trees will be removed by cutting to stump and treatment with herbicide will
follow. Native trees will be carefully avoided.
Grape vine will be eradicated by cutting with chainsaws, hand pulling, and applying
herbicide treatment to the stembase on a periodic basis. Due to the abundance of this species
on site, treated vegetation will be chipped and hauled away.
Earleaf acacia and Brazilian pepper will be eradicated from the preserve area by using
the chemical agent, Garlon 3A. Garlon 3-A-Tricolpyr (3,5,6-Tricloloro-2-pyrid inxloxyacetic
acid) and should be applied by a licensed operator. The trees will be cut-stumped. The cut
surfaces will be sprayed or painted with undiluted Garlon 3A. Every precaution will be used
to contain the chemical to the application site. Fallen trees will be removed and chipped. Haul
routes will be minimized to avoid disturbance to soils and native vegetation remaining. After
the initial Garlon treatment, the site will be monitored quarterly for a period of one year.
Regrowth stumps will be filled and retreated with Garlon 3A at a rate of 3 ml. per cut at 4-inch
intervals. Regrowth greater than one inch dBH will be cut-stumped and treated with Garlon 3A
at a rate of 1 mllinch dBH to ensure 100 percent eradication. Periodic mowing in open areas
will prevent re-seeding of weedy species and prevent their recruitment within other areas of the
preserve.
4. Scrub Restoration and Relocation Methodology
Subsequent to exotic removal and site preparation, listed species identified
previous to clearing activities will be relocated into the preserve area. These include scrub mint
plants (already identified and mapped), prickly pear cactus, and scrub oaks with air plants.
C&N Environmental Consultants, Inc.
9
February 20, 1996
Clumps of native groundcover species and shrubs will be relocated. A 48" to 60" tree spade
will be used to move larger scrub species slated for relocation. A detailed design of relocation
specifications will be submitted prior to these activities.
D. Long Term Management
The Tara Oaks Preserve will be maintained as natural habitat in perpetuity by the
Home Owners Association. The prescribed management techniques will be implemented semi-
annually for the first three years to achieve the management objectives set forth in this plan.
The open space areas will be maintained as part of the project landscape and will be mowed at
regular intervals. The existing nature paths in the preserve also will be maintained at regular
intervals to provide safe access for members of the community.
Prior to management activities, all required notices and necessary permits will be
submitted to the City of Boynton Beach. Every effort will be made to protect listed species and
other sensitive resources during implementation of the management plan.
1. Additional Management Techniques
a. Exotic/Nuisance Species Removal and Control
Any Brazilian pepper, Australian pine (Casuarina equisetifolia), or
melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) will be removed by rubber-tired equipment, or hand from
the preserve area. Brazilian pepper will be removed from the preserve area using the chemical
control described in the following section.
Garlon 3A@: Garlon 3-A-Tricolpyr (3,5,6 - Tricloloro-2-pyrid
inxloxyacetic acid) will be used by a licensed operator to eradicate Brazilian pepper trees in the
Tara Oaks Preserve area. The trees will be cut-stumped. The cut surfaces will be sprayed or
painted with Garlon 3A@ (undiluted). Garlon 3A@ will be applied by a person licensed by the
State of Florida to handle restricted chemicals. Every precaution will be used to contain the
chemical to the application site. The fallen trees will be removed via a haul route resulting in
minimal disturbance to soils and native vegetation remaining in the preserve area.
Maintenance and Monitoring: After the initial Garlon 3A@
treatment, the site will be monitored at six-month intervals for a period of one year by preserve
owner. Regrowth stumps will be filled and retreated with Garlon 3A@ at a rate of 3ml per cut
at 4-inch intervals. Regrowth greater than one inch DBH will be cut-stumped and treated with
Garlon 3A@ at a rate of 1ml/inch DBH to ensure 100 percent eradication.
The Preserve will be managed semi-annually for the first three years for the re-emergence
of exotic species. All new growth will be hand removed.
C&N Environmental Consultants, Inc.
10
February 20, 1996
At the end of one year (maintenance and monitoring period), a letter report will be sent
to the City of Boynton Beach to summarize the implementation and success of the preserve area
management plan.
If exotic species invasion continues at this time to be a problem, new eradication
techniques will be implemented in an effort to achieve the goals of the proposed management
and coordinated with the City of Boynton Beach. The preserve will be monitored annually
thereafter.
2. Replacement and Enhancement Pro~ram
The highest quality habitat occurring on the project site has been slated to
be preserved, restored, and maintained. Following exotic and nuisance species removal, there
will be large areas available for relocation of native vegetation occurring outside the preserve
area. All transplanted/relocated resources will comply with the requirements of the City of
Boynton Beach's Landscape Ordinance. Proposed upland buffer areas in the northwest portion
of the project site and in parking islands will be available for relocation of native plant species
and enhancement as scrub habitat. Every effort will be made to preserve protected plant species
occurring on the project site. Additionally, use of native plant species adapted to the xeric soils
will be utilized for natural xeriscaping to minimize future water consumption of preserve
maintenance. Surface water management plans will be designed to ensure no runoff occurs into
the preserve area.
Included in the enhancement program will be the cleanup of the numerous dump sites
throughout the preserve area. Some heavy equipment will be required, but no track vehicles will
be employed. Established haul routes will be utilized in the removal of dumped materials.
Signs will be posted along the perimeter of the preserve area indicating the preserve
boundaries. The preserve will remain as an upland habitat preserve in a natural state. Passive
recreational features, such as a jogging trails, will be maintained in the preserve area. A buffer
comprised of grass will be maintained along the boundary of the preserve area on the Tara Oaks
site.
8.0 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE DEVELOPER
The following management plan shall be used to govern all activities or concerns relating
to preservation areas and conservation easements noted on the development plan. The goal of
this plan is to assure the continued viability of all preservation areas and/or conservation
easements within the Tara Oaks parcel. The developer and Homeowners Association (HOA)
will be responsible for the implementation of this plan through its contractors. No alterations
are permitted to this plan or within the preservation areas and/or conservation easements without
prior approval from the City of Boynton Beach. The objective of the Tara Oaks Management
Plan is to ensure that the natural integrity of the preservation area will remain undisturbed
throughout construction activities and in perpetuity.

The scope of the work is as follows:
-Designation of preservation areas and conservation easements
-Gopher Tortoise Relocation
-Tree Relocation
-Clearing, grubbing, and debris removal
-Excavation or fill activities
-Implementation of Management Plan
A. Designation of Preservation Areas and Easements
The owner or his assignee shall delineate all preservation areas and appropriately
mark these areas to prohibit encroachment during clearing and grubbing activities
(Attachment I). Appropriate markings shall include but not be limited to orange vinyl barrier
fencing attached to 5'x2"x4 lumber installed 15' apart and around the entire perimeter of the
preserve. All fenced areas shall be inspected by the City of Boynton Beach prior to clearing and
grubbing.
B. Gopher Tortoise Relocation
Prior to clearing activities, all gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemis) and
commensal species will be relocated off-site to the Hunt Preserve at Big Cypress Seminole
Indian Reservation in Hendry County, Florida, under the authority of Florida Game & Fresh
Water Fish Commission (FGFWFC) Permit No. WR95216 issued 9 October 1995 and extended
to 30 June 1996 (Attachment II).
C. Tree Relocation
All native trees with a diameter 12" of less which can be successfully relocated
will be relocated to the preservation area, open space areas, and buffer areas in an effort to
achieve a "no net loss" of trees on the project site. Trees that are larger than 12" dbh or have
a low survivability potential such as slash pine (Pinus elliottil) will be replaced at a 1: 1 ratio
based on the diameter at breast height (dbh) measurement of the tree to be replaced.
Replacement trees will comply will the specifications set forth in the City of Boynton Beach
Landscape Code. All trees which can be successfully relocated to the preserve will be relocated
prior to clearing activities. All remaining trees will be addressed in a tree preservation plan
approved by the City Forester prior to clearing.
A detailed tree relocation plan and preserve restoration plan will be reviewed by the
Boynton Beach City Forester prior to commencement of relocation activities. The City Forester
will also approve the trees on-site to be relocated.
1. Temporary Irrigation - A temporary irrigation system will be installed
within all relocation and restoration planting areas. Relocated trees and
C&N Environmental Consultants, Inc.
12
February 20, 1996
new plantings will be watered daily for a period of 90 days and weekly if
necessary for an additional 60 days. A water truck will be employed as
a source of water if water cannot be secured water from the City of
Boynton Beach utility system.
2. Mulch - No mulch will be used in the relocation/restoration areas due to
the nature of the excessively well-drained soils in the preserve area.
Scrub vegetation will not tolerate mulch material.
D. Clearing. Grubbing. and Debris Removal
To prevent damage to preserve vegetation during clearing and grubbing activities,
the perimeter of the preserve will be root-pruned to a depth of 4 feet at least 3 weeks prior to
clearing. The root-pruning will occur 3' outside the preserve boundary. Trees, shrubs, stumps,
etc. shall be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Other domestic
debris and household trash shall be removed from the site and disposed of in an approved
landfill site.
E. Excavation/Fill Areas
Excavation/fill limits shall be marked by the owner or his assignee. Grade
changes adjacent to upland preservation areas will be engineered so that any cut or fill will not
encroach on any preservation areas or allow surface water runoff to sheet flow into or out of the
preservation area. Placement of the fill shall be accomplished by the contractors at the direction
of the owner or his assignee.
F. Tree Preservation Outside the Preservation Area
All trees/vegetation slated for preservation outside of the designated preserve area
will be protected by orange barrier fencing installed beyond the "dripline" of the tree canopy
to prevent possible damage to the root system by clearing machinery. All clearing under the
canopy "drip line" of preserved trees will be accomplished by hand-held equipment.
G. Prohibited Activities
Prohibited activities in the preservation areas include but are not limited to:
construction or placing of building materials on or above the ground; dumping or placing soil
or other substances such as garbage, trash, and cuttings; removal or destruction of native trees,
shrubs or other vegetation unless previously outlined in the Tara Oaks Preserve Management
Plan; excavation, dredging, or removal of soil material, diking or fencing, recreational vehicle
use, and any other activities detrimental to drainage, flood control, water conservation, erosion
control, or fish and wildlife habitat conservation or preservation. No alterations are permitted
within the preservation areas and easements without prior approval of the City of Boynton
Beach.

H. Management and Maintenance of the Preserve
The management and maintenance of the upland preserve areas, preserve
easements, and lakes must be in accordance with this plan. Management and maintenance
activities will be performed by, or under the supervision of, a qualified environmental
profess ional.
I. Restoration/Relocation Schedule
The following sequence of events will proceed in subsequent order upon
commencement of restoration/relocation activities and prior to clearing and grubbing activities:
1. Gopher Tortoise Relocation;
2. Designation of the preserve boundaries with appropriate marking;
3. Designate (flag) vegetation to be relocated and install protective barrier
fencing;
4. City approval of vegetation to be relocated and preserve boundary
des ignations;
5. Clear areas of exotic vegetation within preserve as recipient area for
relocated vegetation;
6. Relocation of vegetation to preservation area with temporary irrigation
installed;
7. Clearing, grubbing;
8. Fill/excavation;
9. Relocate trees outside preserve site.
Following relocation of trees and other flagged vegetation to preserve area, clearing and
grubbing activities may commence. Subsequent preserve restoration and management activities
set forth in this management plan may proceed concurrent with clearing and grubbing activities.
J. Setbacks
Buildings proposed to be located adjacent to preserve areas or preserve easements
must be set back a minimum of ten (10) feet to allow for construction and maintenance without
encroaching into the preserve. All other structures (i.e., pools, sheds, decks, etc.) shall be set
back a minimum of five (5) feet from preserve areas or preserve easements.
K. Financial Responsibility
The owner of record of the Tara Oaks residential development project will be
responsible for the financial obligation of the on-site preserve. The financial responsibility will
be transferred with the ownership of the property.

The Public Works Sanitation Division has what I feel serious concerns to this type of a garbage
program. The concerns are not that we can't pickup their garbage but that this enclosure will only
hold about 12 cans, which is far less than the number of units that will be using it, also the
tenants will only be able to get to the two or possibly three cans that are located at the entrance to
the enclosure. Ifbags are used, there will be several just thrown over the fence or stacked upon
others which will result in broken bags and scattered garbage, and if the garbage becomes
scattered by animals (raccoons, cats, etc.) who will be cleaning it up, I am sure that a tenant in a
different building who does not have to look at the mess will be concerned.
Personally I do not feel that this is the direction the City wants to go, however if this is approved
the Sanitation Division can provide this type of service with the current residential can route.
If you have any questions please give me a call.

Storm Water Management Report
Tara Oaks, City of Boynton Beach, Florida
The Storm Water Management System proposed for the Tara Oaks project is illustrated
on the master engineering plan and consists of a series of inlets and pipes discharging to
a dry detention area located along the southern boundary of the site. All storm runoff from
the site as well as from the proposed Knuth Road, will discharge into the dry detention
area. A control structure has been provided which will provide a bleed down and overflow
from the dry detention area south to the LWDD L26 canal.
The existing ground water elevations at the site is approximately 8.50 NGVD. This
corresponds to the control elevation in the L25 and L26 canals located to the north and
south of the project site. The proposed elevation in the southern dry detention area is
approximately elevation 10.50. In addition a storm water detention area has been
provided along the east property line west of the proposed landscape buffer. This area
will have a minimum elevation of approximately 16.0 NGVD. Together, the two dry
detention areas provide for water quality treatment and flood storage for the site, as well
as for the section of Knuth Road adjacent to the site.
i
Ii
Preliminary surface water management calculations indicate a 100 year flood elevation of
approximately 19.25 NGVD. The minimum road crown based on the 10 year 1 day storm
event has been set at elevation 17.0 NGVD.

RE: TARA OAKS
Dear Ms. Heyden:
Per Mike Haag's request, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the
traffic impact study for the project entitled Tara Oaks, pursuant to the Traffic
Performance Standards in Article 7.9 of the Palm Beach County Land Development
Code. The proposed project will consist of 192 multi-family residential dwelling
units and a 20,000 square foot church. The study reports this site to be
previously approved for 77 single-family dwelling 'units. The traffic study
addresses the increase in traffic from the proposed project, minus the approved
project. The access points are all on Knuth Road. The build-out for the project
is 1999.
The traffic study addresses the traffic from a church only. We have been seeing
many of the larger churches are being built with day school and day care
facilities. If the project has these uses, the traffic from these uses also
needs to be addressed.
The Traffic Division has determined that the project meets the requirements of
the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. If you have any
questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.
Yvonne Zie1's letter recommends a. right turn lane on Knuth Road, at the
residential driveway, if Knuth Road is not extended to the north. While the
projected peak hour traffic volumes meet the County minimum requirements for a
right turn lane, there appears to be a flaw in the logic.
Right turn lanes are needed to remove slower turning traffic from the through
traffic flow. If Knuth Road is not extended north, there is no through traffic.
The right turn lane would serve no purpose. When knuth Road is extended to the
north, the traffic would probably be oriented more to the north. There would be
a need for a left turn lane at the residential driveway. There appears to be
only a short section of Knuth Road missing north of this project. It seems
logical to make the connection to the north in conjunction with this development.
Otherwise there will be a missing section of roadway in a fully developed area.

RE: Tara Oaks PUD
Dear Mr. Haag:
Yvonne Ziel Traffic Consultants, Inc. has been retained to asses the redistribution in traffic
as prepared in the 1990 traffic study, which reflected SW Congress Boulevard connecting
with Knuth Road. Since this connection is incorrect, the traffic study was 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 existing conditions, trip generation, growth rate analysis and
future conditions with the redistribution of traffic. The project trips addressed where those
over the 1988 approval (77 single family units). As you can see from Table 5, all of the
roadways within the impact area meet the level of service (LOS) standards.
In addition to the LOS analysis, I prepared a driveway analysis to reflect a change in the
driveways. Figure 1 provides the daily, AM and PM peak driveway volumes and the project
volumes at Knuth Road and Woolbright Road. IT 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. IT however, Knuth Road is exended to the north, this right turn lane
would not be needed. The projected Tara Oaks volumes at the intersection of Kuth Road and
Woolbright road are not significant, but do indicate the need for an exclusive southbound to
eastbound left turn lane. Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
( VONNE ZIE~S~TANTS. INC.

ENGINEERING MEMORANDUM NO. 95-371
As you know, Mr. Weisberg has informally reported that future traffic at the intersection
of Woolbright Road and Knuth Road is not projected to warrant installation of a traffic
signal at that location. He suggests that it is possible for the City to require the
developer of Tara Oaks to provide a bond or a letter of credit for to osoro'N the cost of
such a signal (35,000 :t) to cover installation up to two years beyond development
substantial completion and subject to traffic counts at that time. If the signal is not yet
warranted, the ocorow paymont bond or letter of credit would be returned to the
developer.
If tho Commicsion wichos to make tho escrow arrangement described herein a condition
of approval of Tara Oal<e, wo have no objootion.
*
The Traffic Study and a memo to Tambri Heyden from Dan Weisberg dated
September 22, 1995 both support the fact that a traffic signal is not warranted at
the intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Woolbright Road.
