TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL M E M 0 RAN DUM To: Council Members AGENDA I T8~ 6Bl From: Staff Date: August 17, 1990 council Meeting subject: Local Government comprehensive Plan Review - Amendments to the City of Boyn~on Beach Comprehensive Plan Introduction Pursuant to the provisions of the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Chapter 163, Florida statutes (FS), the Council must be provided an opportunity to review and comment on comprehensive plan amendments prior to their adoption. The City of Boynton Beach has submitted, proposed amendments to the state Department of Community Affairs (DCA), which in turn is seeking Council's comments. Council's review of the information provided by the DCA is to focus on the consistency of the proposed amendments with the regional policy plan developed pursuant to section 186.507, FS. A written report, containing any objections, recommendations for modification, and comments (as defined in Chapter 9J-ll, Florida Administrative Code) is to be provided to the DCA within 45 calendar days of receipt of the plan, elements or amendments. Backaround On January 10, 1990, the DCA issued a Notice of Intent to find the comprehensive plan for the city of Boynton Beach not in compliance, pursuant to Section 163.3184, FS. As part of this finding, the ADOPTED plan was found to be Inconsistent with the Regional Plan. The City of Boynton Beach is considering draft amendments to the text and policies pursuant to a stipulated settlement agreement with the DCA. In addtion, the City is considering five draft amendments to the Future Land Use Map,' not related . to a stipulated settlement agreement. The locations of the properties under consideration are shown on the accompanying map, and the number of acres and proposed changes in land use designations are summarized in the following list: 1 " . , CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH DRAFT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS FUTURE LAND USE MAP Map Amend.

Local Retail Commercial Medium Density Residential Moderate Density Residential Local Retail Commercial South side of Boynton Beach Boulevard, between Post Office and Stonehaven PUD. Between the Lake Worth \ Drainage District L-25 and L-26 Canals: west of the Lakes of Tara PUD. 'Within Woolbright Place PUD: 1,800 feet north of Woolbright Road. Southwest corner of ' Old Boynton Road and Winchester Park Boulevard. * County Designation - Annexation request has been made. **(unnumbered) Mall Corner Restaurant Evaluation Amendment No. 494 is located on the southwest corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and Knuth Road. This property has been proposed for annexation into the City. The current County designations for the property are Commercial High/3 for the northern third and Commercial-Recreation for the southern two-thirds, while the proposed City designation is Local Retail Commercial. Amendment No. 493 is located on the south side of Boynton Beach Boulevard, between the Post Office and the Stonehaven PUD. This property is a county enclave which has been proposed for annexation into the city. The current County design,ation is Residential/8 units per acre. The proposed 2 Ci ty designation is Local Retail Commercial. Both of the proposed changes in land use designation (amendments #493 and #494) would allow additional retail commercial in the area. The City of Boynton Beach adopted comprehensive plan indicates that there may be up to 198 acres of excess commercial land at buildout. However, this figure may be reduced to a surplus of only 30 acres when certain adjustments are taken into consideration. The plan concludes that the supply of commercial land in the Boynton Beach market area will be sufficient to meet the demand. Since the southern two-thirds of the property represented by Amendment No. 494 has been designated as residential by the city in their plan for the reserve annexation area and the County's Commercial-Recreation designation would not allow office and retail commercial uses, a change to Local Retail Commercial would increase the supply of commercial land. Amendment No. 473 is located between the Lake Worth Drainage District Canals L-25 and L-26 and west of the Lakes of Tara PUD. The proposed land use change would allow an increase in residential density from 4.84 dwelling units per acre to 9.68 dwelling units per acre. Development on these properties would to the City's central water and sufficient water treatment capacity until July 1991, according to the utilities Department. Traffic on portions of Boynton Beach Boulevard is projected to exceed capacity and no improvements have been recommended. Development on these properties should comply with the Countywide Traffic Performance Standards to ensure consistency with the Regional Plan. be required to connect sewer lines; however, will not be available City of Boynton Beach Amendment No. 471 is located within the Woolright Place PUD. The proposed land use change is the result of a settlement agreement between the developer and the city. The parcel was originally dedicated to the City as a public park site: however, the park will be relocated to a 3.5-acre recreational . parcel outside the PUD which will be dedicated to the City. The Mall Corner Restaurant amendment is located at the southwest corner of Old Boynton Road and Winchester Park Boulevard. This property is being proposed for annexation into the City: therefore, the proposed land use change is to incorporate the property into the City's Future Land Use plan. The change would not allow additional commercial within the City. In addition, water and sewer services are available to the property. 3 staff has an objection to two of the above proposed Future Land Use Map Amendments. In addition, staff has one objection to a policy change in the Traffic Circulation Element. Obiections. Recommendations for Modification. and Comments Amendments No. 494 and No. 493 A. obj action 1. Regional Goal 16.1.2 is to provide for a balanced, well- planned, compatible mix of land uses which are appropriately located, and Regional Policy 16.1.2.2 calls for Future Land Use Maps of government comprehensive plans to be based upon surveys, studies, and data regarding the amount of land required to accommodate anticipated growth, the proj ected population, the character of undeveloped land, the availability of public services, the ability fo government to provide adequate levels of service, and the need for redevelopment. The need .for additional commercial land at these locations has not been demonstrated by the city. The City's comprehensive plan documents an existing over-allocation of commercial land use. Recommendation for MOdification 1. Provide an analysis which demonstrates the need for additional commercial land at these locations within in the City of Boynton Beach. If such a need can be documented, additional changes to the City plan may be warranted. Traffic Circulation Element A. Objection 1. Modified Objective 2.1 allows for a lower level of service to be maintained on several regional roadway facilities than called for in Regional POlicy 19.2.1.3. Policy 19.2.1.3 states that the regional roadway network shall be maintained at Level of Service (LOS) C or better during annual average daily conditions and LOS D during peak season, peak hour conditions. The City proposes a "maintain" level of service on four specific regional roadways within the city's jurisdiction. They are: I-95 from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Woolbright Road; Boynton Beach Boulevard from Old Boynton Road to Congress Avenue; Congress Avenue from Boynton Beach Boulevard to the south City limits: and Hypoluxo Road, east of 1-95. The City standard allows for LOS E to be maintained on these facilities which is not consistent with Regional Policy 19.2.1.3. If the City has 4 . , determined that lower levels of service are appropriate in order to successfully implement other City goals (i.e., redevelopment), then the City would need to provide a complete rationale for the lower levels of service, perhaps in conjunction with the submission of a Downtown Development of Regional Impact. Recommendation for Modification 1. The City should adopt a level ot service tor all regional roadways in its jurisdiction that is equal to or better than Council's LOS C/O Policy 19.2.1.3. LOS C shall be maintained during average annual daily traffic conditions, and LOS D shall be maintained during peak season, peak hour conditions. Recommendation Council should adopt the comments outlined above and their transmittal to the state Department of Community in fulfillment of the requirements of Chapter 163, Statutes. approve Affairs Florida Attachments 5 -----1'// ~~ la" I I ~, \ I I"~~ ': I: I 1'/ /Yj r i I I; /: / ! ~ :! / I " 'II I i!j 1/ I " ~' I 71 .

Box 8341 Boynton Beach, FL June 5, 1988 ,:, ~ C~-'t f' . / ". r(' ,{ (...-" Uffice of the Commias~on C1ty of Boynton Beach Boynton Beach, FL Dear Comm1ssioner Marchese, 1 am writing to you regarding the proposed Tara Oaks P.U.D. In th18, I am representing the homeowners of Banyan Creek. After review1ng this proposed P.U.D., the homeowners have no obJection to it and wish the developer the "best of luck" in his endeavor. However, the homec,wners do obJect to the construction of Knuth Hoad ~hat will accompany this development. The homeowners obJect to the construction of this road for two pr1mary reasons. First, we think that it would very detrimental to our community. Also. we do not think that there is a real need for th1S road. The homeowners of Banyan Creek were not aware that the City intended that Knuth Road should be constructed as far south as the right-oi-way for Woolbright Hoad{We had thought that Knuth Rd. would only be built as far south as Stonehaven Drive-the entrance to Banyan Creek). We only became aware of this when signs began appear1ng ~or Tara Oaks. When we investigated further, we additionally found out to our surpr1se that the construct,ion of Knuth Road to connect with Woolbr1ght Hoad had prev10usly been approved and included in the Cityls "Master Plan". Although the construct1on of j{nuth Road haa previously been approved, we hope that you will reconsider this 1ssue. As I st,ated above, the homeowners donlt think that there is a 1 reol need for Knuth Rood to be built. As plonned, Knuth will extend southward to connect with Woolbright Road when it is constructed. There are two roads that run parallel to Knuth Rd. and are located within one-half mile of it, t~~t ~!~~~g~ ~~!~t that could serve north-south traffic. The first of these is Congress Ave. which is one-hal~ mile east of Knuth Rd. Second, there is Lawrence Rd. which is located one-hal% mile west oi Knuth. Lawrence Rd. has already been completed to the Woolbright Hd. right-o~-way. The only construction needed ~o connect Lawrence Rd. w~th Woolbr~ght Rd. ~s a bridge across the L.W.b.D. canal at that point. Accord~ng to the engineering staf% for the County, th~s bridge w~ll be constructed when Woolbright Rd. is built. Between these two roads, we feel that they are sufficient %or the north-south traf~~c flow in this area. Add~tionslly, Knuth Rd. would not serve to connect trs%fic with other roads in this area as well as Congress and Lawrence. Knuth Rd., at the most, could run from Woolbr1ght Rd. to the canal that borders the northern end 0% the Boynton Beach Mall. It would only connect Woolbr1ght Rd., Boynton Beach Blvd., and Old Boynton Rd. Meanwhile, Congress Ave., connects all roads between Yamato Rd. in Boca Raton and 45th S~reet in West Palm Beach. Also, Lawrence Rd. w~ll connect all roads between Woolbright Rd. and Lantana Rd. Knuth Rd. will not be 0% much additional help with trsf%ic %low when compared with these roads. The fact that the construction of Knuth Road will have an adverse impact on ~anyan Creek is easily seen. The right-of-way through Banyan Creek is only sixty feet wide<lt is eighty feet wide 1n Tara Oaks). Included in this right-of-way will be both a two- lane road<it has the potential to go to four lanes) and an eight foct w1de bicycle path. As this right-oi-way runs next to Banyan Creek, 1t comes with1n 25 ieet of homes that already exiet(within approximately 15 feet of the1r pat10SJ. Additionally, thie r~ght-of-way parallels Edgewater Dr. ~or a distance o~ approximately 1000 %eet. The pavement for Edgewater Dr. is only ten ~eet ~rom this r~ght-of-way. Because Knuth w~ll be constructed close to Edgewater Dr. and to the houses ~n Banyan Creek that back onto it., there ~s not even enough room to prov1cle a buffer large enough to help lessen the 1mpact of Knuth Rd. and the tra~f~c ~t w1ll carry. We think that there 1S go~ng to be a problem with traffic crossing over between Edgewater and rlnuth where they parallel each other. Southbound tra~f~c on Knuth could crose over on to Edgewater Dr. and proceed to Stonehaven Or. and use this a short-cut to Congress Ave. Aleo, the bicycle path that would be constructed close to and between these two parallel roads would be dangerous to use. 'fhe traffic on Knuth Road. will also aggravate some already existing safety and crime problems for our community. From the stand-point 0% crime prevention, it will greatly increase the access to our development. to outsiders. We have had problems with 2 breek-ins in the pest ~nd do wont this problem to reoccur. From the ssfety stand-point, i~ will greatly increase the traf~ic ~low in and around Banyan Creek. We already have an existing problem with motorists using Stonehaven Dr. as a shortcut between Boynton ~each Blvd. and Congress Ave. It ~s a dangerous situation, as ours is a family community and we have many children whose safety concerns us. Approximately eighteen months ago, there was a child hit by a car using Stonehaven Dr. as a shortcut. This is the type of prOblem we wish to avoid. We think that ~he tra~~ic on Knuth Rd. will lead to increased traffic on Stonehaven Dr. which would make an unsa~e situation worse. The amount of traffic that Knuth Rd. will carry and at what speed 1S another reason for our concern. Knuth Hd..as planned. w~ll be 1nteresected by only two streets<Stonehaven Dr. and S.W. Congress Blvd. at Tara Uaks) between Boynton Heach 8lvd. and Woolbr1ght Rd., a distance of approx1mately two-thirds of a mile. It will be a very stra1ght road, probably w1th no etop s~gne or tra~fic lights between Woolbr1ght and Boynton Beach Blvd. As a result, Knuth Rd. will become a high-speed, non-stop, Short- cut between the two largest east-west roads in the City of Boynton Beach. The lest problem that will be associated with Knuth Rd. may at first glance appear to be minor. But when you consider the problem ofeone who has to live day a~ter day w1th the noise and dirt that will be generated by a road that is going as close as Knuth is to the homes in Banyan Creek, and the amount 0% stress it will cause in individuala~ you realize that it can be harmful~ both mentally and physically. Once aga~n, we ask that you reconsider the question o~ Knuth koad. Let me restate that the homeowners in Banyan Creek think that any additional extens~on is uneeded and would be qU1te a detriment to our commun~ty. Along th1S line~ we would ask that you might consider one 0% the ~oliow~ng proposalS: 1. That the City neither extend Knuth Rd. itself or require the developer o~ Tara Oaks to do so either. 2. That the City not extend Knuth Rd. itself and only require the developer 0% Tara Oaks to build Knuth Rd. south o~ S.W. congress Blvd. to Woolbright Rd.<This would provide access to Woo~bright Hd. ~or ~uture homeowners 1n Tara Uaks). ~. That the City should reevaluate Knuth Road as to whether it is needed and as to how it w1ll a*~ect the people who will live along it. Also~ that if the City should accept one o~ these proposals and later decide that Knuth Rd. should be built, that the City would 3 discuss this with the homeowners in Yanyan Creek and give the homeowners an oppurtunity to comment on it bexore the Commission. My last commen~s regarding this come ~rom me as an individual, but 1 ~eel that are very relevant. In this particular case, I think that to ~ully understand the impact the constr~ction o~ Knuth Rd. would have on our community, that you need to actually go and see where it is going to be built. It is one thing to read maps and plans or to read other peopleJs reports and letters or to listen to other people speak on a subJect, but to truly understand our concerns, you need to v1sualize how it will look. Go to Edgewater Dr. and stop. Get out o~ your car and try to 1mag1ne how Knuth Rd. will look and its impact on Banyan Creek. Then as you leave on Knuth Rd. back to Boynton Beach Blvd., see how close some o~ our homes are to Knuth Rd. This is the only way you can truly understand our concerns. Thank you ~or tak1ng the time to listen to us. For the homeowners o~ ~anyan Creek, ///' ,J ~~4~-/ William H. Morrow President, Board o~ Directors Stonehaven HomeownersJ Association 4 LOCATION MAP . .

The initial installa- tion is currently planned to be a flashing traffic signal, but the County rraffic Division has started a new traffic study to see if a fully oper;ational traffic signal should be installed "up front". I will advise concerning a time and date to meet concerning the participation in the escrow account with the parties concerned as soon as possible.

You had informed thi s offi ce that developer commitment exi sted to cover the installation costs. At the present time we have received seperate letters from all three developers indicating a willingness to participate in the signal installation costs. However, only one party, Michael F. Matchus of Coral Gables Federal {representin Lakes of Tara, has indicated that a specific amount of money as been made available (see letter dated July 31, 1987). Mr. M.T. Register of the Lieberman Corporation (representing the ~~Apartments) i ndi cated in a 1 etter, dated April 3, 1986, that they were willing to pay their fair share of the costs. In an April 27, 1988 letter, Mr. K. Dan Shalloway, P.E. (representing Tara Oqk~") indicated that the Developer had met his requirement to p~~S--for signal installation costs. The Traffic Division is requesting that your office inform each of the three Developments of our intent to construct the flashing traffic signal. In addition, we are requesting that the Landings Apartments, Lakes of Tara, and Tara Oakes establish a joint escrow account in the amount of $30,000.00, to be released directly to our signal contractor upon completion of the installation. We are suggesting that your office arrange a meeting with all parties concerned (The City, Developers and County) to coordinate and resolve each entity's level of participation. It should also be noted that this office has initiated a new traffic study for the subject intersection to determine if the initial installation should be upgraded from a flashing signal to a fully operational traffic signal. We will notify your office when the study has been completed and reviewed.
