REVIEW COMMENTS PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM NO. 96-525 TO: Jim Cheraf City Attorney FROM: -/-:::;J} Tambri J, Heyden ~ Planning and Zoning Director DATE: October 8, 1996 RE: Rezoning of water tank site on Miner Road and reduction of Hills of Lake Eden preserve area The phone messages I've left you pertain to the following issues, about which I need your assistance: 1, As directed by the city manager, staff is starting to prepare the land use amendment and rezoning application for the city owned, water tank/Sprint telecommunication tower site zoned PUD (proposed PU zoning), In order to modify the PUD master plan to delete the property from the PUD, must a master plan modification application be signed by all the PUD property owners as part of the unified control, or other, requirements? I've attached a copy of the deed for the property (the property was dedicated by the PUD to the city) for your review for possible determination that the rezoning may not be necessary. Also, staff has met with the owner of the undeveloped portion of the PUD who wants to submit a master plan modification to obtain approval of townhouses rather than approved apartments. 2, When the Hills of Lake Eden PUD rezoning came before the Commission earlier this year the approved master plan showed a total preservation area of 1,30 acres, The minimum set aside required by the comprehensive plan and now the code is 25%, or 1,05 acres for this PUD, The developer would like to reduce the preserve total to the minimum 1,05 acres, Can this be done without going back to the Commission or can the Commission take the position that as part of the PUD negotiations they required more than the minimum 1.05 acres? Attached are the Commission minutes wherein I've highlighted this discussion. T JH:dim Attachments xc: Carrie Parker Central File C:MINER-RDWPD DRAINAGE STATEMENT FOR MELEAR PUD This Statement office has been retained to prepare a n~ainage to address the drainage implications of the proposed to the Master Plan of the Melear PUD. revisions The essence of the proposed changes to the Master Plan is the changing of the housing types in Phases II, III & IV. It is proposed to construct 181 single family and 492 apartment units instead of the 77 single family, 273 quadraplex and 323 condominium units previously planned. According to the Master Plan prepared by Urban Design Studio, the development area along with the lake area will stay substantially the same. Thus, no substantial changes in the overall drainage design will be necessary to accommodate these proposed Master Plan changes. This site is in the Lake Worth Drainage District and drainage discharge is regulated by that agency. The South Florida Water Management District also has permitting authority for this site. Permits for this project have been issued by both of these agencies. These permits will have to be modified to accommodate the development of the remainder of this project. Prepared By: GERS, P.E.

PEAK HOUR VOLUMES FIGURE 5 P.M. PEAK HOUR VOLUMES INTRODUCTION This office has been retained to prepare a Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed revision to the Master Plan for the Melear PUD. This 154.6 acre parcel is located on the west side of Congress Avenue and the south side of Miner Road, in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. This project originally received approval from the City in 1983. Of the original five phases, only the first phase, the Sandalwood Development, has been constructed. This Analysis has been performed in order to determine the volume of traffic expected to be generated by this project at such time that this project is completely constructed and completely occupied, the effect that the generated traffic will have on the area's roadways and to make recommendations on what roadway improvements, if any, are necessary as a result of the approval of this project. In conformance with the City Planning Department's policy this Analysis has been performed with the criteria established in the City's Zoning Code and the recently adopted Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance #87-18. Existing traffic counts which were available from the Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Palm Beach County Traffic Division were used, when applicable, and these counts were augmented by twenty-four (24) hour machine counts and peak hour hand counts performed by this office. SITE INFORMATION As shown in Figure 1, this parcel is located on the southwest corner of Congress Avenue and Miner Road. All access to the development parcel will be onto Sandalwood Drive which traverses through the project from Congress Avenue to Miner Road. , w ;6-1 > .

The number of single family units and rental apartments increased while the townhouse units decreased and the multi-family condominiums have been deleted entirely. The new Master Plan has maintained the 3.1 acre commercial site. A breakdown of the residential land uses for the proposed and the old Master Plans are: PROPOSED MASTER PLAN LAND USE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED MASTER PLAN 181 332 Single Family Quads I Townhouse Condominium Apartment TOTAL 77 417 323 188 1005 492 1005 EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS Congress Avenue, adjacent to this site, is a four lane divided roadway.

Mulhearn, P.E., January 27, 1983. The generation (driveway volume) calculated for this project is based as follows: NO. OF GENERATION LAND USE UNITS RATE TRIPS Single family 181 10 tpd/unit 1810 Quad-plex 332 7 tpd/unit 2324 Apartment 492 7.5 tpd/unit 3690 Commercial 30,000 s.L 100 tpd/lOOO s.L 2250 * TOTAL 10,074 * The same 25% internal factor which was used in the Mulhearn Report was utilized in this Report. Applying the same generation rates to the land uses to that of the previously approved Master Plan, the generation can be calculated as follows: NO. OF GE:NE:RATION LAND USE UNITS RATE TRIPS Single family 77 10 tpd/unit 770 Townhouse 417 7 tpd/unit 2919 Condominium 322 7 tpd/unit 2254 Apartment 188 7.5 tpd/unit 1410 Commercial 30,000 s.t. 100 tpd/lOOO s.f. 2250 TOTAL 9603 -3- Comparing the volume expected from the proposed Master Plan with that which was previously approved, it is calculated that the revised Master Plan is expected to generate an average of 471 trips per day more than the volume previously approved. According to Article IV, Section 2 (b), only the traffic generated by a proposed project which is in excess of the volume previously approved shall be subject to provisions of the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. Thus, this Report shall address the impact of the additional 471 trips. TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION The traffic distribution for this project was prepared according to the distribution analysis which was previously prepared by this office in the report "Traffic Distribution Study for Melear PUD", April, 1987. Based upon the proceeding, the traffic distribution for this project was determined and is shown below: NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST 38.1% 17.3% 31.4% 13.2% The distributed traffic is shown in Figure 3. EFFECT ON ROADWAY CAPACITY The Traffic Performance Standards project with an "Insignificant Impact" generates less than 1% of the capacity which it directly accesses. Ordinance defines a as a project which of the roadway upon -4- The distributed volumes for this project and the 1% threshold volumes are shown in Figure 3. A review of these volumes show that this project will not generate more than 1% of the capacity of any of the roadway links directly accessed by this project. This project, therefore, is defined as an "Insignificant Project". An "Insignificant Project" can be approved if the following two conditions are met: a. the volume to capacity ratio lv/c) on the directly accessed links does not exceed 1.5. b. a fee, in addition to the Fair Share Contribution for Road Improvements Fee, is paid in accordance with Table 3 - "Insignificant Project Fee", as presented in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. The existing vlc ratios are shown in Figure 2. The vlc ratio for Congress Avenue is 0.81 and the v/c ratio for Miner Road is 0.06 on those links adjacent to the site. As the vlc ratio does not exceed 1.0 on any directly accessed roadway link, an Insignificant Project Fee will not be required. PEAK HOUR The peak hour volumes have been calcLlated in order to ascertain if any additional roadway improvements are necessary to accommodate the additional traffic expected to be generated by this project. For this Report, both the A.M. and P.M. peak hour volumes were calculated and analyzed. The peak hour volumes were calculated as follows: A.M. P.M. 7.54% of ADT 10% of ADT = 0.075(471) = = 0.10(471) 36 = 47 IN IT 28 OUT 25 19 -5- w !lll-l > .. ( 0 0 " 0 0 .. .. " " .. > 0 0 00 "'0 -0 0 ..J a: a: _0 "'0 <00 a: ..

WPsl pnlm bp()ch, fi DISTRIBUTED TRAFFIC date SEPT 88 figure 3 These peak hour volumes were assigned to the project's driveways and are shown in Figures 4 and 5. In order to show the complete impact, the previous volumes, as presented in the Mulhearn Report, were added to these volumes. A capacity analysis was prepared for the intersections shown in Figures 4 and 5. These analyses concluded that the roadway improvements which were recommended in the Mulhearn Report, a left turn lane and right turn lane on Congress Avenue at the intersection with Sandalwood Drive and the signalization of the same intersection, are adequate to accommodate the additional traffic expected to be generated by this request. Thus, no additional roadway improvements are required as a result of the additional traffic generated by this revised Master Plan. CONCLUSION The proposed revisions to the Master plan of the Melear PUD are expected to generate an average of 461 additional trips per day. It is concluded, even with the number of additional trips, that this revision to the Master Plan creates an "Insignificant Impact" on the major roadway system. A review of the peak hour volumes further concludes that no additional roadway improvements are necessary as a result of this proposed Mater plan revision.

Cheney City Manager RE: Melear PUD/Annexation Agreement I have reviewed Carmen's memo and Allan Ciklin's letter to Carmen and have one comment on paragraph 3. They are asking to only pay their up front share of the ex- isting water lines on a phase by phase basis. If this is done, it will set a precedent for other developments who will be wanting the same type of treatment. In making this statement, I am not necessarily against it, but I think it is a policy decision that should be carefully considered before granting this. Also, in the same vien, as you know, we have a construction index increase included in the penalities. If the above is agreed ~pon, it should be clearly stated that the penalities, as related to the construction index increase, will vary as time goes on so that there is no question,at a later date, as to what was meant. ~ a~ perry~na, Director of utilities apt CC: Mr.Carmen Annunziato,~ City Planner R"'wed~~ C "te (:9 Time Ci:~ TO: Mr. Peter L. Cheney, City Manager ~ M E M 0 R.A N DUM October 13, 1983 RE: Melear Property On Tuesday I had conversation with Carmen about the above. Mr. Allen Ciklin has apparently made a proposal to resolve the land donation problem connected with this annexation. One of the requests in the proposal is that they be allowed to pay their share of the costs of the Congress Avenue lines by plat or by phase. In reviewing the ordinance, I do not see where it clearly speci- fies when this up front money should be paid. You know that Rick Rossi has brought this subject up regarding Riteco's development (Congress Lakes). You also realize that we have not made a firm determination as to when and how this money will be collected from DeBartola. I can certainly understand the problems involved to a developer of a large tract of land in having to pay up front as much as two or three hundred thousand dollars, in addition to all the other costs involved in getting started. On the other hand, I can certainly see that we required five developers to put up a million dollars in advance, to get the line in. I believe that this would have to be a policy decision, based upon your recommendation and council's action. As you know, in the Congress Avenue corridor, we give credits of approxi- mately $400,000.00. Carmen raised the question as to whether the ~~ loss of interest penalty, as prescribed by ordinance, is a per year cost or a one time cost. I talked with Allen Ciklin last night and advised him that it was a policy decision and that I would discuss it with you, on your return and then advise him accordingly. He would like an answer early next week, if at all possible.

Dear Mr. Annunziato: This is to confirm our meeting of August 30 with yourself and the developer of Melear, P,U.D., in which the developer agreed to certain conditions which would allow his project to meet the requirements of the traffic performance standard. The proposed development is a category A project, i.e., one having a significant impact on a road or roads which are already operating at or above level of service D. As this is the case, the project must limit it's traffic to less than a significant impact on two category A road links, those being Lantana Road and Hypoluxo Road between Congress Avenue and 1-95. Our calculations indicate that project development should be limited to 50% of the residential units, with the balance of the residential units and all of the commercial not being allowed to develop until Lantana Road and Hypoluxo Road are constructed as four lane facilities. Additionally, this project should be required to: 1) Dedicate 108 feet of right of way for and the project's north property frontage. construct Miner Road across , ~.~'- , , 2)a) Reimburse the County for the cost of constructing left turn lanet""'..",.<-._..... the project's entrance on Congress Avenue and at Miner Road, These turn lanes will be included in the Congress Avenue four laning project currently under contract. The County will bill the developer for this work based on unit prices at the time of Congress Avenue construction. b) Construct right turn lanes on Congress Avenue at the project's entrance and at Miner Road. These turn lanes should be constructed at the time the project's entrance road and Miner Road are built. 3) Pay the cost of signalization at the following intersections, when war- ranted, as determined by the County Engineer: a) Congress Avenue and Miner Road. b) Entrance Road and Miner Road. c) Entrance Road and Congress Avenue, 4) Pay "Fair Share Impact Fee" upon issuance of building permits.
