RE: Melear pun
Traffic Performance Standards Review
Mr. Rumpf;
The Pahn Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the revised traffic statement
(dated November 16, 1999) for the project entitled Melear PUD pursuant to the
Traffic Performance Standards in Article 15 of the Palm Beach County Land
Development Code. The project is summarized as follows:
Location;
Municipality;
Proposed Uses:
Congress Avenue, south of Miner Road
Boynton Beach
1) Residential - SF Attached
2) Residential - SF Detached
New Trips; 1.717 trip Der day DECREASE
Buildout; 2002
This is a modiftcation of aprellious approval. Currently (pending issuance of an amended development
order) this project is vested for the following uses: Residential- SF Attached (696 du), Residential- SF
Detached (309 du) and General Commercial Retail (30,000 sf).
(181 du)
(824 du)
There are two minor errors in the traffic statement. The trip generation calculations
for the approved uses do not account for internalization between the residential and
conunercial uses and do not address pass-by traffic to the conunercial uses. These
errors do not change the results of the analysis.
Bascd on our review the Traffic Division has dctcrmined that the project meets the
Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Plcase contact me if you have
any questions regarding this review.
Sincerely,
THE COUNTY ENGINEER

Melear PUD

~-
As noted by the Boynton Beach Planning Staff, the original Traffic Report for the PUD did
not indicate access onto Congress Avenue. Kimley-Horn and Associates has been
retained to study this proposal and prepare an updated traffic report. Kimley-Horn's
traffic report documents that that access on to Congress Avenue is consistent with the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance and Access Management Standards.
The Revised Master Plan proposes an emergency access - "exit only" onto Sandalwood
Drive.
3. Congress Avenue Buffer Width
The approved Master Plan provides a 50' landscape buffer along Congress avenue. We
propose to modify this buffer width to 40'. To mitigate for this reduction, we propose to
provide additional landscaping and a berm/wall combination.
4. Phase 3
Phase 3 is proposed to be modified into two (2) parcels - Phase 3a and Phase 3b.
Phase 3a is the same configuration as the previous approval. Phase 3b represents the
balance of the previous Phase 2. The new total acreage of Phase 3 is 56.1 acres (35.1
acres + 21 acres).
Phase 3 is proposed to contain a total of 309 Single Family Dwelling Units at a density of
5.5 du/ac (193 + 116). This equates to an increase of 128 Single Family Units. The total
number of Dwelling Units proposed for the Melear PUD remains unchanged at 1,005
Dwelling Units.
The proposed request is consistent with the Land Use Plan and Zoning Code of the City of
Boynton Beach. We believe this request is consistent with the spirit and intent of the Melear
PUD.
Find enclosed twelve (12) copies of the Revised Master Plan together with five (5) copies of a
Revised Traffic Report prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates and a check in the amount of
$500.00.
Should you have any questions or need any additional documentation, please don't hesitate to
contact me. Again, we thank you for your assistance and look forward to your favorable
sideration.
y yours,

Re: Melear PUD
Dear Ms. Heyden:
The master plan for the Melear PUD was modified in November of
1988, at which time the Planning Department recommended, and the
City Commission approved, a requirement for the owner to post a
bond for the potential signalization of intersection of Congress
Avenue and Sandalwood Drive if and when warrants justified a
signal.
A bond, in the amount of $30,000, was posted by the Gene B. Glick
Company, which bond remains in effect (a copy is enclosed).
The master plan for this PUD was again modified in August of 1997,
at which time the proposed 364 unit multifamily portion of the plan
was allowed ingress and egress directly on to Congress Avenue in
addition to a secondary entrance on Sandalwood Drive.
Additionally, since 1988, a traffic signal has been constructed at
the intersection of Congress Avenue and Miner Road which is only
1100 feet north of Sandalwood.
Because of the proximity of the Congress and Miner Road signal and
the fact that more than 36 percent of the 1005 dwelling units
proposed for this PUD will now have direct access to Congress
Avenue, the likelihood of warrants to justify a signal at Congress
and Sandalwood in the foreseeable future, are practically
nonexistent.
Accordingly, I am respectfully requesting that the City
of Boynton Beach release the Gene B. Glick Company

RE: MELEAR PUD
Dear Ms. Heyden:
I have reviewed the traffic information provided for the Melear PUD. Per
your request, I am providing the following comments regarding the
traffic safety, efficiency, and signal considerations for the two access
scenarios.
The report provides a conflict analysis of the two access scenarios.
Providing a northbound left turn into the apartments will reduce the
northbound left turn volumes at Sandlewood Drive. This will make the
intersection of Sandlewood Drive and Congress Avenue operate
somewhat more efficiently and there may be associated improved
safety. There are no other identifiable efficiency or safety differences
between the two access scenarios.
The report states that the intersection of Sandlewood Drive and
Congress Avenue is 1200 feet from the intersection of Miner Road and
Congress Avenue. This is less than the one-half mile spacing between
signals caiied for in the County's Access Management Standards.
There is a traffic signal at the intersection of Miner Road and Congress
Avenue for the City's fire station. It operates when activated by the fire
station. It was envisioned that this traffic signal would be fully
operational when warranted.
It is possible that if traffic signal warrants are met at the intersection of
Sandlewood Drive and Congress Avenue and are not met at the
intersection of Miner Road and Congress Avenue, then a traffic signal
could be installed at the intersection of Sandlewood Drive and Congress
Avenue.
AugustS, 1997

Determining if a traffic signal is warranted at either location would be

Revised Traffic Study:
Melear PUD
Southwest comer of Congress Avenue and Miner Road
between LWDD L-20 and L-21 canals
File # MPMD 97-003
Dear Mr. Weisberg:
The enclosed revised traffic study on the Melear PUD located at the southwest corner of
Congress Avenue and Miner Road between LWDD L-20 and L-21 canals dated May 23, 1997,
and revised July 9, 1997 prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was recently received
by the city for the above-referenced application. Please review the enclosed information for
conformance with the County's Traffic Performance Standard Ordinance and note that the
original master plan and traffic study provided no new entrance onto Congress Avenue to serve
this phase of the PUD. The current application proposes to change that. I would also like your
professional opinion as to whether, from a traffic safety standpoint, it is safer and/or more
efficient to have an ingress/egress onto Congress Avenue, in addition to the preplanned
entrance/exit onto the PUD's collector road (Sandalwood Drive). Will the County allow a traffic
light at Sandalwood Drive and Congress Avenue?
If you have questions regarding this matter, please call me at (561) 375-6260, otherwise please
send me your written comments/approval to the above address, with a copy of your written
response to AI Newbold, Acting Development Services Director also at the same address.

The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic
information that you provided, prepared by Kimley-Horn, regarding an
additional access on Congress Avenue for the Melear PUD. I also,
reviewed a July 9, 1997 amendment to the May 23, 1997 report that you
sent, prepared by Kimley-Horn. The report does not address Traffic
Performance Standards and there are no known Traffic Performance
Standards issues associated with the additional access.
The assumptions and conclusions in the report seem reasonable. Trip
generation and trip distribution calculations were not provided, so, I was
not able to check the accuracy of the technical information. There was
one discrepancy in the reports. The first report shows a full median
opening at the proposed apartment access. This is consistent with the
existing roadway median. The second report shows a partial median
opening (restricting left turns out).

Re: Traffic Study: Melear PUD
Southwest corner of Congress Avenue and Miner Road between LWDD
L-20 and L-21 canals
File # MPMD 97-003
Dear Mr. Weisberg:
The enclosed traffic study on the Melear PUD located at the southwest corner of Congress
Avenue and Miner Road between LWDD L-20 and L-21 canals dated May 23, 1997, prepared
by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. was recently received by the city for the above-referenced
application. Please review the enclosed information for conformance with the County's Traffic
Performance Standard Ordinance and note that the original master plan and traffic study
provided no new entrance onto Congress Avenue to serve this phase of the PUD. The current
application proposes to change that.
If you have questions regarding this matter, please call me at (561) 375-6260, otherwise please
send me your written comments/approval to the above address, with a copy of your written
response to Milan Knor, Development Services Director also at the same address.
Sincerely,
I .' ; J7
