Dear Mr. Weisberg:
Enclosed please find the original traffic impact analysis, prepared
by K. S. Rogers, Consulting Engineer, Inc., and recent sununary,
prepared by Simmons & White, Inc., documenting the trip generation
of the above-referenced projects. The original traffic impact
analysis for all three of the projects assumed a build-out or
completion date that has elapsed. What impact does this have on
their trips? Have they lost their trips? Please verify the
applicability of the roadway improvements listed in the Simmons &
White reports.
We understand that you have thirty (30) days to respond to our
request, we would appreciate if you could provide written comments
to our office as soon as possible, a phone conversation will
suffice while a written response is provided. Thank you for your
prompt response.

Re:
Boynton Beach Boulevard P.C.D.
Boynton Beach, Florida
Dear Mr. Hukill:
This office has been retained to revisit the above referenced
project with regard to Traffic Performance. A Traffic Impact
Analysis was prepared by K.S. Rogers, Consulting Engineer, Inc.
dated January 30, 1990. The Analysis addressed a total development
of 120,000 S.F. consisting of 110,375 S.F. of retail area with two
defined outparcel uses. The outparels consisted of a 4000 S.F.
high-turnover, sit-down restaurant and a 5625 S.F. bank with drive-
through. The scheme of development to be considered in this review
has remained unchanged. Please refer to the site plan on file
prepared by Kilday & Associates.
Site access to the parcel also remains unchanged and consists of
two proposed entrances from Boynton Beach Blvd. The westerly
driveway connection will be limited to right-in, right-out turning
movements. The easterly connection will be a full access driveway
aligned with the signalized intersection of Winchester Park Drive
(formerly known as Mall Road). The original Traffic Impact
Analysis assumed a build-out or completion date of 1993. The
review presented herein will assume a build-out date of 1997.
The purpose of this review is to demonstrate that the project will
continue to meet the Traffic Performance Standards addressed in the
previous Traffic Impact Analysis under current roadway volumes and
growth rates.
TRAFFIC GENERATION
The original traffic generation rate and passer-by capture rate
yielded an anticipated external traffic generation addressed in the
original analysis of 4818 tpd as follows:

CONCLUSION
This proposed 120,000 square foot mixed-use retail development was
addressed with regard to traffic performance by K.S. Rogers,
Consulting Engineer, Inc. in a Traffic Impact Analysis dated
January 30, 1990. The project was expected to generate 4818
additional trips per day with an anticipated development build-out
date of 1993.
The analysis presented in this letter has demonstrated that the
project will continue to meet the Traffic Performance Standards
addressed in the previous analysis under current roadway volumes
and growth rates through 1997. In short, all of the addressed
links will meet the applicable Traffic Performance Standards in
1997.
If you have any comments concerning the above, please call. I am
available to respond immediately to any questions you may have.

RE: TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSES FOR
BOYNTON BEACH BOULEVARD PCD AND KNUTH ROAD PCD
Dear Mr. Golden:
\:
As requested by your letter of April 3, 1990, the Palm Beach County Traffic
Division has reviewed the traffic reports for the two proposed shopping centers
entitled Boynton Beach Boulevard PCD and Knuth Road PCD. The following comments
are submitted for your consideration:
1) Based upon copies of correspondence from your office to the applicant's
agent (Kilday & Associates, Inc.) dated February 13, 1990, we do not
consider the applications for these projects to have been complete prior
to February 1, 1990 and therefore vested against the new Countywide Traffic
Performance Standards (County Ordinance 90-7) as per the Municipal
Implementation Ordinance (County Ordinance 90-6). To comply with these
County Ord i nances, new traffi c reports need to be submitted by the
applicant to your office as well as our office for review.
2) If the outparce 1 s on each of the shoppi ng center si te plans wi 11 be
specifically limited to restaurant and financial institution use, their
trip generation should be separately calculated at the higher rates that
are representative of these land uses rather than included as part of the
general retail commercial area.
3)
Under Test #1 of the new Countywide Traffic Standard (WhiCh is comparable
to the previous unincorporated area standard - County Ordinance 87-18),
sign i fi cant project traffi c woul d occur on two links of Boynton Beach
Boulevard that are projected to exceed their existing and committed
capacities. No improvements are recommended for either of these two links
(Military Trail to El Claire Ranch Road and Old Boynton Road to Interstate
95). Without some commitment from these developers to improve~~e two
links th'e traffic standard is violated. .I.\l:::C1Jl';r/~~_,~

Re: Traffic Impact Review - Tara Oaks PUD
.. .
Dear Mr. Cannon:
Walter H. Keller Jr., Inc. has reviewed the Applicant's traffic impact study for the
proposed revised land use mix for the Tara Oaks site. The revision proposes the
development of 192 multi-family dwelling units and a 20,000 square foot church in
place of the IIPproved 77 single family units. The results of our review indicate the
Applicant meets City and County Concurrency requirements but additional information
is required to assess traffic impacts. A summary of the review is provided.
Existing Conditions - The Applicant's analysis of existing conditions is 'reasonable.
The analysis is based on the capacities adopted by the County and shows the only
roadway in the existing conditions study area operating over capacity is Boynton
Beach Boulevard between Old Boynton Road and 1-95. Although the analysis is
based on County LOS "0" capacities a revised analysis based on City capacities will
have no bearing on the results.
Trip Generation - The Applicant's analysis of nip generation indicates the project is
expected to generate 1,498 nips. This estimate is accurate based on the County
requirement to utilize 7.0 nips per multi family dwelling unit. The County asserts this
is a localized rate and would not accept an estimate from the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual 4th Edition which indicates
the 7.0 rate is overestimated.
The Applicant is also accurate in discounting the revised nip generation analysis
based on the approved land use mix. The site was originally approved for 77 single
family units translating to 770 daily vehicle nips for vesting purposes. The total new
daily impact of the proposal is 728 daily nips as shown by the Applicant.
Note if the Applicant were allowed by Palm Beach County to utilize ITE nip rates for
the multi-family use, projected nip generation would be reduced to 486 daily nips.
Trip Distribution and Assignment - The Applicant's analysis of nip distribution is
reasonable, however the assignment of traffic is skewed to SW Congress Avenue.
The Applicant shows 429 (59%) of daily vehicle trips utilizing SW Congress Avenue
while 249 (34%) of daily trips are expected to utilize Woolbright Road east of Knuth
Road. Considering all site access drives are on Knuth Road, Woolbright
Road/Congress Avenue is signalized and the poor operating condition of the
eastbound left turn lane at SW Congress Boulevard/Congress A venue shown in the
Applicant analysis, project traffic on Woolbright Road is too low. This assignment
should be revised.

Walter H. Keller Jr., Inc.
Mr. Timothy Cannon

page two
Background Traffic Analysis - The Applicant's analysis of background traffic,is based
on a 1993 buildout year, a historical link analysis and committed traffic per the
Cambridle PUD and Quantum Park developments, The results of the background
traffic analysts is reasonable.
Programmed Improvements - The Applicant's analysis of projected traffic includes four
programmed roadway improvements. The improvements include the six laning of
Congress A venue between Boynton Beach Boulevard and Old Boynton Road and
between the L28 and L30 Canals, the construction. of a new four lane divided link on
Woolbright ~oad between Military Trail and Congress Avenue a.'ld the six laning of
Woolbright Road from west of Congress Avenue to 1-95. 'The Palm Beach County
Engineering office was contacted for the current status of these projects,
The extension of Woolbright Road from Congress Avenue west to MilitlUy and the
Congress Avenue link between the L-28 and L-30 Canals are included in the County
Five Year Work Program and are scheduled for construction by the County in FY
1990-1991 and FY 1991-1992. An additional Congress Avenue improvement is
scheduled for construction by the Boynton West development and is bonded while the
six-Ianing of Woolbright between Congress Avenue and 1-95 is pan of the Cambridge
PUD agreement and is not bonded. However, this link is not expected to exceed
existing capacity by 1993.
Traffic Impacts - The Applicant's analysis of projected traffic impacts is based on the
Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. According to the
Ordinance the project's radius of development influence should extend at least one
mile and to any link outside a mile carrying more than 1% LOS D capacity. The
analysis provided by the Applicant is shown on Table 1. The analysis shows one over
capacity link and does not provide' sufficient information on Woolbright Road, Knuth
Road and SW Congress Boulevard for future analysis.
Note the Applicant did not include the improved capacity on Woolbright Road east of
Congress Avenue.
The analysis of signalized intersections has not been performed utilizing the 1985
Highway Capacity Manual and the turning volumes at Congress Avenue/Woolbright
Road do not appear to have been adjusted for extension of Woolbright Road.
Concurrency - Since the proposed project generates more than 500 new vehicle trips, it
is subject to concurrency under Palm Beach County Standards. The Applicant's
analysis of concurrency is accurate except for SW 23rd Avenue. This review
considers the project's radius of influence to begin at Woolbright/Knuth Road. Based
on this assumption, SW 23rd A venue is not in the radius of influence. The project also
meets LOS Standards under the City of Boynton Beach Traffic Element within the
radius of influence.

Summary - The Applicant's submission is accurate and shows concurrency on the
links analyzed. However, the analysis of traffic assignment, impacts and concurrency
on Woolbright Road is incomplete. The Applicant should also provide an analysis of
projected traffic on Knuth Road and SW Congress Boulevard. The following items
should be addressed:

include Woolbright Road between Knuth Road and Congress Avenue,
Knuth Road from the site to Woolbright Road and SW Congress
Boulevard.
. The analysis of signalized peak hour intersection operating conditions
should be performed using the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual as
required in the County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance.
