ZONING DEPT.
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).
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF THE COUNTy" ENGINEER

Re: Melear PUD
Congress A venue
Boynton Beach, Flori,la
040341.00
Dear Mr. Schorah:
As amhorized, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc, has undertaken an analysis of
traffic volumes and conditions which will result from buildout of the Melear
PUD. The property is located on the west side of Congress Avenue south of
Miner Road, The property has access to both Congress A venue and Miner
Road via Sandalwood Drive, A portion of the plan approved for the property
is developed, Approximately 332 townhouse residential units are built and
occupied, A portion of tlle undeveloped property with frontage along Congress
Avenue is proposed to be developed witll 364 multI-family apartment units with
its own access to Congress Avenue, This letter report summarizes the resulls
of the analysis.
To provide a basis for analysis, peak hour turning movement counts were
conducted at the intersection of Sandalwood Drive and Congress A venue A
copy of tlle counts completed on May 20th are attached, The counts were
completed after the extension of MIner Road to Lawrence Road was open [0
traffic,
In additiun to the 364 lllulli..family apmtl1leurs. it was assumed that the
remamder of the undeveloped property will be developed with 300 single-
family !lomes, Utihzing Institute of Transportation Engineers peak hour trip
generation ra.tes, the pt':ak hour trips assoda[C;':u with eat:h uf tile undeveloped
tracts were calculated Those trips were assigned to tlle roadway network
consistent with the observed peak IIOur traffic at the Sandalwood
Drive/Congress A venue intersectiun and the traffic study approved lor Ule
overall property. The trips were assigned 10 the roadway system assUlning that
the proposed 364 unit multi-family parcel has direct access to Congress A venue
in one scenario and does not have direct access to Congress A venue In tlle
second scenario. Figmes I and 2, which are attached, presellllhe resulting
tI afflc volumes

existing median opemng is more than 660 feet from any other median opening
on Congress Avenue, Thus, the County's access management criteria are met
As you have stated, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division has indicated that
the County would permit access at the media)) opening as proposed since the
location meets tJleir critena
In conclusion, we are of the opmion that the proposed direct access to Congress
Avenue for the 364 unit multi-family parcells pennittable, meets the access
management criteria of Palm Beach County, will result in less delay to drivers
entering Congress Avenue, will reduce congestion at the Sandalwood
DrIve/Inter Lagos intersection, and generally result in a safer traffic condition
than requiring all the Melear PUD project traffic to use Sandalwood Drive,
If you or the City should have any questions, please call.
Very truly yOlllS,

Re: Melear PUD
Congress Avenue
Boynton Beach, Florida

Dear Mr. Schorah:
As authorized, Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc, has undertaken an analysis of
traffic volumes and conditions which will result from buildout of the Melear
PUD, The property is located on the west side of Congress A venue south of
Miner Road, The property has access to both Congress Avenue and Miner
Road via Sandalwood Drive. A portion of the plan approved for the property
is developed. Approximately 332 townhouse residential units are built and
occupied, A portion of the undeveloped property with frontage along Congress
Avenue is proposed to be developed with 364 multi-family apartment units with
its own access to Congress A venue, The remainder of the undeveloped
property is approved for residential development and 30,000 square feet of
commercial retail. This letter report summarizes the results of the analysis,
Existinlol Traffic Counts
To provide a basis for analysis, peak hour turning movement counts were
conducted at the intersection of Sandalwood Drive and Congress Avenue. A
copy of the counts completed on May 20th are attached. The counts were
completed after the extension of Miner Road to Lawrence Road was open to
traffic,
Future Traffic Volumes
In addition to the 364 multi-family apartments, it was assumed that the
remainder of the undeveloped property will be developed with 300 single-
family homes and 30,000 square feet of retail commercial. Utilizing Institute of
Transportation Engineers peak hour trip generation rates, the peak hour trips
associated with each of the undeveloped tracts were calculated, Those trips
were assigned to the roadway network consistent with the observed peak hour

traffic at the Sandalwood Drive/Congress A venue intersection and the traffic
study approved for the overall property. The trips were assigned to the
roadway system assuming that the proposed 364 unit multi-family parcel has
direct access to Congress A venue in one scenario and does not have direct
access to Congress Avenue in the second scenario. In the scenario where the
multi-family parcel has direct access to Congress A venue, it is also assumed
that the parcel will also have access to Sandalwood Drive, Figures 1
and 2, which are attached, present the resulting traffic volumes for the two
access scenarios assuming full development of the Melear PUD,
Conflict AnaIvsis
As would be expected, the traffic volumes on Sandalwood Drive are greater in
the scenario where the 364 unit multi-family parcel does not have direct access
to Congress A venue. It is interesting to note that the northbound left-turn
volume during the P,M, peak hour is over 200 vehicles per hour in both
scenarios, Those 200 vehicles in conflict with the left-turn traffic from
Sandalwood Drive and Inter Lagos will create delays and congestion at the
intersection, The traffic volumes on Congress A venue are relatively high and
do not afford large or long gaps which would allow traffic from Sandalwood
Drive and Inter Lagos to enter Congress A venue safely. With Sandalwood
Drive intersecting Congress A venue opposite Inter Lagos, the number of traffic
conflict points is greatly increased over that of a "T" intersection which is
proposed for the 364 unit multi-family parcel. Full cross intersections have
more traffic conflict points than "T" intersections and are, therefore, inherently
more dangerous, Figures 3 ana 4 depict 'me difference in conflicts for the two
different types of intersections, In this revised analysis, the median opening on
Congress A venue which would serve the apartment parcel would be modified
to prohibit apartment traffic from turning left out of the parcel to travel north
on Congress A venue. The conflicts are reduced from 32 to 5 with the revised
access plan,
Providing direct access to Congress A venue for the 364 unit multi-family
parcel will reduce the traffic load on the Sandalwood Drive intersection and
provide for a safer operation of traffic, This will allow traffic from each of
these side street locations to enter the traffic stream on Congress A venue much
easier and with less delay,
SienaIization Considerations
The proximity of the Sandalwood Drive intersection to the Miner Road
intersection would indicate that Sandalwood Drive is too close for Palm Beach
County to consider signalization in the future, Palm Beach County desires to
have traffic signals at half mile intervals on Congress Avenue and the 1200 foot
distance is less than half the County's standard, Further, the projected traffic
volumes do not warrant signalization even if the multi-family parcel does not
have direct access to Congress Avenue, Discussions with Palm Beach County
staff indicates that County staff envision that the Miner Road traffic signal will
~=~
Kimley-Horn
and Associates, Inc,
Mr. Michael B. Scborab.luly 9,1997, Page 3
be operated throughout the day in the future instead of just for emergency
vehicles as at present. They view the Miner Road traffic requiring signalization
in the future but do not view Sandalwood Drive as a candidate for a signal due
to low volumes and the short distance from Miner Road,
Countv Access Manallement
The 364 unit multi-family parcel is proposed to have direct access to Congress
Avenue at an existing median opening which is approximately 900 feet south of
the Sandalwood Drive intersection, Palm Beach County's access management
criteria requires a minimum of 660 feet which is provided. The existing
median opening is more than 660 feet from any other median opening on
Congress Avenue, Thus, the County's access management criteria are met.
We have confirmed with the Palm Beach County Traffic Division that the
County would permit access at the median opening as proposed since the
location meets their criteria,
1988 Traffic Report Review
A review of the 1988 traffic report for the Melear PUD approval indicates that
several items are different today than was assumed in 1988, Miner Road has
been constructed between Congress A venue and Lawrence Road, This change
makes the traffic loading assumptions different today. Further, the report
assumed that Sandalwood Drive would become signalized, Given the traffic
projections and Palm Beach County's desire not to install a signal that close to
Miner Road, signalization of the Sandalwood Drive/Congress Avenue
intersection will not happen, Thus, access assumptions in the 1988 traffic
report are not applicable for today since the underlying assumptions are not
appropriate for today's traffic conditions.
Sandalwood Drive Internal Access
The apartment parcel is proposed to have internal access to Sandalwood Drive.
The internal access will allow apartment parcel traffic to access Miner Road
without travelling on Congress Avenue, The location of the apartment parcel
access point to Sandalwood Drive is affected by other existing points of access
to Sandalwood Drive, There appear to be two options for the location of the
access point. One option would be to align the access with the existing point
approximately 300 feet west of Congress Avenue, Due to its proximity to the
Congress A venue intersection, we are of the opinion that the access should not
be located at this point, The second option is to locate the apartment access
approximately halfway between the existing connections which are
approximately 1,100 feet apart. This would place the access point over 800
feet from Congress A venue. The City Code indicates a spacing of 660 feet is
needed between access points, Given the available distance is only 550 feet,
the City will need to waive the 660 foot criteria, Figure 5 depicts the distances
associated with the access points,
~=~

and Associates, Inc,
Mr, Michael B. Schorah.luly 9,1997, Page 4
Conclusions
The proposed direct access for the apartment parcel to Congress A venue is
permittable by Palm Beach County. This has been confirmed through
discussions with Palm Beach County staff. The proposed direct access to
Congress A venue will have less intersection conflict points than the
Sandalwood Drive intersection and therefore will provide a safer driving
condition, The direct access will also reduce traffic volumes on Sandalwood
Drive and thereby reduce delay and congestion to traffic on Sandalwood Drive
and its intersections with Congress A venue. The access assumptions contained
in the 1988 traffic report are not valid for today's traffic conditions and
therefore are not appropriate for continued application to the Melear PUD,
The proposed configuration of the direct access connection for the apartment
parcel will create a safer environment for traffic than forcing the apartment
parcel traffic to use the Sandalwood Drive intersection for access to Congress
A venue. Thus, the proposed direct access will result in a safer traffic
condition.
If you or the City should have any questions, please call,
Very truly yours,

Re: Melear PUD - #97872.01
Dear Mr. Cavanaugh:
David Plummer and Associates Inc, has completed a review of the traffic report for the above
referenced project, The report, prepared by KimIey-Hom and Associates, Inc. and dated Revised July
9, 1997, presents the trip generation and access options for the proposed 364 unit apartment project.
Based on our review of this report, a knowledge of the area, existing traffic conditions and a review
of historic accident data, our findings are as follows,
\, The daily and peak hour trip generation presented in the report is consistent with Palm Beach
Unified Land Development Code (ULDC) and Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation. 5th Edition standards.
2, The directional distribution of traffic generated by the project appears reasonable given the
site location and available street network.
3, The proposed direct access to Congress Avenue at an existing median opening located
approximately 900 feet south of Sandalwood Drive meets Palm Beach County's access
management standards, These standards are based on extensive research on congestion and
safety,
This existing median opening will have to be modified to prohibit the eastbound to northbound left
turn egress movement,
4, T -intersections which restrict exiting left-turn movements have substantially less conflict
points than a full cross intersection, Therefore, the potential for accidents is reduced.

5, A research of accident data shows that the Sandalwood DrivelInter Lagos/Congress Avenue
intersection has the lowest number of accidents of any intersection on Congress Avenue
between Hypoluxo Road and Gateway Boulevard. Additionally, one of only two accidents
on Inter Lagos was a vehicle making a left-turn to Congress Avenue. Increasing the number
of left-turns into and from Sandalwood Drive would substantially increase the risk of
accidents
6, Left-turn movements from Congress Avenue to the proposed driveway can be made without
concern for vehicles approaching from all directions,
In conclusion, it is our opinion that a proposed driveway connection to Congress Avenue, with a
directional median opening which meets Palm Beach County's access management standards, will
provide an efficient and safe means of ingress and egress for the proposed 364 unit apartment
development. This driveway also provides a second means of ingress and egress for emergency
service in addition to the Sandalwood Drive connection,

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 Min~r 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 .~n 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
Tr8ffic 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.

The revisions to the new Master Plan center around a
change in the housing type of the unbuilt units. 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

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:

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 (vie) 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 vie ratios are shown in Figure 2. The vie
ratio for Congress Avenue is 0.81 and the vie ratio for Miner
Road is 0.06 on those links adjacent to the site. As the vie
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 calculated 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 c31culated and analyzed. The peak hour
volumes were calculated as follows:
A.M. 7.54% of ADT = 0.075(471) = 36
P.M. lOt of ADT = 0.10(471) = 47

presented in the
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.
Therefore, it is
this proposed Master
approved as requested.

Re: Melear Planned Unit Development
Proposed Minor Master Plan Amendment
Dear Tambri:
On behalf of Mr. James T. Bisesi of Gene B, Glick, owner of the subject property, we are
pleased to submit this request to modify the approved Master Plan for the Melear
Planned Unit Development. This request is intended to supersede the plan prepared by
Urban Design Studio dated 9.26,88 which was approved by the City of Boynton Beach
on November 8, 1988.
The following revisions as reflected on the enclosed Master Plan are requested,
1. Phase 2 - Area, Dwelling Units, Density
The boundary of Phase 2 is requested to be changed. The new parcel is
proposed to contain 23.6 acres, a reduction of 20,2 acres. The Revised Master
Plan proposes 364 multi-family units, a reduction of 128 dwelling units. The
proposed density of the revised Phase 2 parcel will be 15.42 DU/AC.
2. Phase 2 - Access
The original Master Plan did not reflect points of access (ingress and egress) to
individual parcels/pods. The Traffic Report however, assumed that all parcels
would have primary access from Sandalwood Drive,
As a part of this request, we propose that the primary access (ingress and
egress) point for this parcel be on Congress Avenue, opposite an existing access
point into Dos Lagos PUD. A median opening exists at this location, The
proposed access onto Congress Avenue is consistent with Palm Beach County's

Access Management Standard, Our Traffic Engineers have discussed this
matter with the County and it is my understanding that there are no objections.
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
report. Kimley-Horn's report documents that this proposed request 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 4.4 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-Hone 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 consideration.
