Traffic Consultants, Inc. was retained to perfonn a Traffic Impact Analysis to assess the traffic impact of a proposed 34 single family project to be located along NE 4th Street south of Gateway Boulevard in the City of Boynton Beach as shown in Figure I. Buildout is anticipated in 1997, EXISTING CONDITIONS The major roadway near the project is Gateway Boulevard, which is a two lane road and reflects a Level of Service (LOS) B. Table 1 shows the existing (1995) average daily traffic (ADn conditions on the impact area roadways, Table 2 provides the peak hour traffic conditions at the same locations. The ADT volumes were obtained from the Palm Beach County 1995 Traffic Volumes Map, the peak hour volumes were determined by factoring the ADT volumes by 0.091. The Gateway Boulevard count was an off-peak 1995 count factored to ADT using the FDOT seasonal variation rates.

BACKGROUND TRAFFIC The Palm Beach County Urban Study Area Traffic Volume Growth Tables provided by the Palm Beach COWlty Engineering Department, includes historical traffic COWlt data for the roadways within the impact area of the project. The growth rates for the roadway were determined from these tables, and then applied to the respective links to determine background traffic growth to 1997. Since historical COWlt data was not available along the Gateway BouIcvard link within the projects' study area and along Federal Highway north of gateway Boulevard, data from count stations nearby were used to determine an area growth rate. Appendix B contains a table with the growth rate calculations. MAJOR PROJECTS The Palm Beach County (PBC) Engineering Departments major project map and list were consulted to locate those projects needed to be reviewed for consideration in projecting background traffic. There are no major projects within the study area which would reflect traffic of 10 percent or more of the threshold LOS "D" service volume on the impact area roadway links within the projects buildout TRIP GENERA nON Trip generatiOll was performed using the rates found in the Palm Beach County Impact Fee Ordinance, and the Institute of Transportation Engineers', Trio Generatiog, 5th Edition. Table 3 shows the trip generation rates used, Table 4 shows the trips generated by the proposed project Trip generation results in 340 daily trips, 32 AM peak 4 --~~---,---~- ~ -r \:. ... \:.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION Trip Distribution was based on current travel patterns and the FSUTMS model. Figure 2 shows the percent project trips and the project volumes on the impact area roadways. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ANALYSIS Test One Table 5 shows the ADT capacity analysis with the project trips and backgroWld growth with the performance standards analysis on those links with project impact greater than one percent of the LOS D capacity, Table 6 shows the same information for the peak hour. Figure 3 shows the above information on a map. Figure 4 provides the project driveway volumes. All of the roadway links within the impact area meet the Test One level of service standards, Drivewav Ana1vsis Based on the peak hour driveway volumes sho\\n on Figure 4, using the PBC turn lane standards, no turn lanes are required at the projects' driveway along NE 4th Street. 6 I . . . .

In no event shall any Assessments be due sooner than ten (10) days from the date of the notification of such Assessments. 7.03 Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 7.04, Assessments as to any Lot owned by Declarant for which a certificate of occupancy for the Home on said Lot has not been issued shall be twenty-five percent (25%) of the difference between the full Assessment for a Lot and that portion, if any, of the full Assessment that may be attributable to reserves. The full Assessment as to each Lot shall commence on the first day of the full calendar month after a certificate of occupancy for the Home on that Lot is issued, or upon the date that Lot is conveyed by Declarant, provided the Lot has been improved with a Home by Declarant, whichever occurs first. 7.04 Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraph 7.03, until such time as Declarant no longer 15 --.' -- ~_._-_..._,._-----'~~------ owns any Lot, or until Declarant notifies the Association in writing that Declarant elects to pay Assessments for Lots it owns pursuant to Subparagraph 7.03, Declarant shall not be liable for Assessments for any Lots it owns, but in lieu thereof, Declarant shall be responsible for all Common Expenses (exclusive of any reserve items) in excess of the sum of all Assessments receivable (whether or not received) from the other Owners (including the contributions payable pursuant to Paragraph 7.05 hereof, interest, late charges and fines), all other income and other monies received by the Association and any surplus carried forward from the preceding year(s). During such period when Declarant is not liable for Assessments for Lots owned by it, the Assessments shall be established by Declarant based upon Declarant's estimate of what the expenses of the Association would be if all Homes and improvements contemplated within the Property and the Phased Property were completed, so that Assessments against individual Lots during such period will be approximately what said Assessments would be if the development of the Property and the Phased Property as contemplated by Declarant was complete. In no event shall Declarant be required to fund reserves allocated to any unbuilt Homes or to any Homes owned by Declarant. 7.05 In addition to Assessments, the first Owner acquiring title to a Home from Declarant shall contribute to the Association an amount equal to three (3) months' Assessments, which shall be in addition to the Owner's responsibility for Assessments which commenced upon the date title to the Lot is acquired from Declarant.

If there is no due date applicable to any particular Assessment, then the Assessment shaH be due ten (10) days after written demand by the Association. 8.01.2 Acceleration of Assessments. If any Owner is in def~ult in the payment of any Assessment owed to the Association for more than thirty (30) days after written demand by the Association, the Association upon written notice to the defaulting Owner shall have the right to accelerate and require such defaulting Owner to pay Assessments to the Association for the next twelve (12) month period, based upon the then existing amount and frequency of Assessments. In the event of such acceleration, the defaulting Owner shall continue to be liable for any increases in the regular Assessments, for all special Assessments, or for all other Assessments payable to the Association. 8.01.3 Lien for Assessments. The Association has a lien on each Lot for unpaid Assessments owed to the Association by the Owner of such Lot, and for late fees and interest, and for reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Association incident to the collection of the Assessment or enforcement of the lien, and all sums advanced and paid by the Association for taxes and payment on account of superior mortgages, liens or encumbrances in order to preserve and protect the Association's lien. The lien is effective from and after recording a claim of lien in the public records in the county in which the Lot is located, stating the description of the Lot, the name of the record Owner, and the amount due as of the recording of the claim of lien. A recorded claim of lien shall secure all sums set forth in the claim 16 of lien, together with all Assessments or other monies owed to the Association by the Owner until the lien is satisfied. The lien is in effect until all sums secured by it have been fully paid or until the lien is barred by law. The claim of lien must be signed and acknowledged by an officer or agent of the Association. Upon payment in full of all sums secured by the lien, the person making the payment is entitled to a satisfaction of the lien. 8.01.4 Collection and Foreclosure. The Association may bring an action in its name to foreclose a lien for Assessments in the manner a mortgage of real property is foreclosed and may also bring an action to recover a money judgment for the unpaid Assessments without waiving any claim of lien, and the applicable Owner shall be liable to the Association for all costs and expenses incurred by the Association in connection with the collection of any unpaid Assessments, and the filing, enforcement, or fOreclosure of the Association's lien, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and all sums paid by the Association for taxes and on account of any other mortgage, lien, or encumbrance in order to preserve and protect the Association's lien. The Board is authorized to settle and compromise the Association's lien if the Board deems a settlement or compromise to be in the best interest of the Association. 8.01.5 Rental and Receiver. If an Owner remains in possession of his Home and the claim of lien of the Association against his Home is foreclosed, the court, in its discretion, may require the Owner to pay a reasonable rental for the Home, and the Association shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver to collect the rent. 8.01.6 Subordination of Lien. Where any person obtains title to a Lot pursuant to the foreclosure of a first mortgage of record of an Institutional Lender, or where an Institutional Lender accents a deed to a Lot in lieu of foreclosure of the first mortgage of record of such lender, such acquirer of title, its successors and assigns, shall not be liable for any Assessments or for other monies owed to the Association which are chargeable to the former Owner of the Lot and which became due prior to acquisition of title as a result of the foreclosure or by the acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, unless the payment of such funds is secured by a claim of lien recorded prior to the recording of the foreclosed or underlying mortgage. The unpaid Assessments or other monies are Common Expenses collectable from all of the Owners, including such acquirer and his successors and assigns. The new Owner, from and after the time of acquiring such title, shall be liable for payment of all future Assessments and such other expenses as may be assessed to the Owner's Lot. Any person who acquires a Lot, except through foreclosure of a first mortgage of record of an Institutional Lender or by the acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof, including without limitation persons acquiring title by sale, gift, devise, operation of law or by purchase at a judicial or tax sale, shall be liable for all unpaid Assessments and other monies due and owing by the former Owner to the Association, and shall not be entitled to occupancy of the Home or enjoyment of the Common Areas until such time as all unpaid Assessments and other monies have been paid in full. 8.01.7 Assilmment of Claim and Lien Ril!hts. The Association, acting through its Board, shall have the right to assign its claim and lien rights for the recovery of any unpaid Assessments and any other monies owed to the Association, to any third party. 8.01.8 Unpaid Assessments - Certificate. Within 15 days after written request by any Owner or any Institutional Lender holding or making a mortgage encumbering any Lot, the Association shall provide the Owner or Institutional Lender a written certificate as to whether or not the Owner of the Lot is in default with respect to the payment of Assessments, and any person or entity who relies on such certificate in purchasing or in making a mortgage loan encumbering any Lot shall be protected thereby. 17 8.01.9 Allocation of Payments. Any payments made to the Association by any Owner shall first be applied towards any sums advanced and paid by the Association for taxes and payment on account of superior mortgages, liens or encumbrances which may have been advanced by the Association in order to preserve and protect its lien; next toward reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Association incidental to the collection of assessments and other monies owed to the Association by the Owner or for the enforcement of its lien, next towards interest on any Assessments or other monies due to the Association, as provided herein; and next towards any unpaid Assessments owed to the Association, in the inverse order that such Assessments were due. 8.02 Non-Monetary Defaults. In the event of a violation by any Owner or any tenant of an Owner, or any person residing with them, or their guests or invitees, (other than the non-payment of any Assessment or other monies) of any of the provisions of this Declaration, the Articles, the Bylaws or the Rules and Regulations of the Association, the Association shall notify the Owner and any tenant of the Owner of the violation, by written notice. If such violation is not cured as soon as practicable and in any event within seven (7) >days after such written notice, or if the violation is not capable of being cured within such seven (7) day period, if the Owner or tenant fails to commence and diligently proceed to completely cure such violation as soon as practicable within seven (7) days after written notice by the Association, or if any similar violation is thereafter repeated, the Association may, at its option: 8.02.1 Impose a fine against the Owner or tenant as provided in Paragraph 8.03; 8.02.2 Commence an action to enforce the performance on the part of the Owner or tenant, or for such equitable relief as may be necessary under the circumstances, including injunctive relief; 8.02.3 Commence an action to recover damages; 8.02.4 Take any and all actions reasonably necessary to correct such failure, which action may include, where applicable, but is not limited to, removing any addition, alteration, improvement or change which has not been approved by the Association, or performing any maintenance required to be performed by this Declaration. All expenses incurred by the Association in connection with the correction of any failure, plus a service charge of ten percent (10%) of such expenses, and all expenses incurred by the Association in connection with any legal proceedings to enforce this Declaration, including reasonable attorneys' fees, shall be assessed against the applicable Owner, and shall be due upon written demand by the Association. The Association shall have a lien for any such Assessment and any interest, costs or expenses associated therewith, including attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such Assessment, and may take such action to collect such Assessment or foreclose said lien as in the case and in the manner of any other Assessment as provided above. Any such lien shall only be effective from and after the recording of a claim of lien in the public records of the County in which the Property is located. 8.03 Fines. The amount of any fine shall be determined by the Board, and shall not exceed one month's Assessment for the first offense, two (2) months' Assessments for a second similar offense, and three (3) months' Assessments for a third or a subsequent similar offense.

At the hearing the Board shall ratify, reduce or eliminate the fine and shall give the Owner or tenant written notice of its decision. Any fine shall be due and payable within 10 days after written notice of the imposition of the fine, or if a hearing is timely requested, within 10 days after written notice of the Board's decision at the hearing.

The foregoing shall be in addition to any other remedy of the Association. 8.07 No Waiver.

The Association shall identify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or contemplated action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Association) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, employee, officer or agent of the Association, against expenses (including attorneys' fees and appellate attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Association; and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; except, that no identification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for gross negligence or willful misfeasance or malfeasance in the performance of his duty to the Association unless and to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine, upon application, that despite 4 the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to reimbursement for such expenses which the court shall deem proper. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, in and of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the Association; and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. 2. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Association has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Paragraph 1 above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees and appellate attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. 3. Any indemnification under Paragraph I above (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Association only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper under the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Paragraph I above. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (c) by approval of the members. 4. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the A'Ssociation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the directors, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be identified by the Association as authorized herein. 5.

Review of Historical Aerial PhotolZl"lluhs A review of the aerial photographs from 1965, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1977, 1984, 1989, and 1993 indicates there was a house on the southern part of the Site in 1965, but by 1968 it was gone. The house was accessed from U. S. Hwy 1 across the railroad tracks. After 1968, the Site was vacant with little change in the physical appearance to the present time. The general area was sparsely developed to the north with a large cleared area north of N.E. 22nd Ave and a citrus grove beyond that. The first structures were the veterinary clinic building adjacent to the Site and several commercial buildings in the divided portion o.f N.E. 22nd Ave. The building now occupied by the Cumberland Farms convenience store at the southeast corner of N.E. 22nd Ave. and N.E. 4th St. was constructed between 1968 and 1971. By 1984, the condo and the VFW hall directly north of the Site and multifamily units in the formerly large cleared area were constructed by 1984. Also by this time the strip mall on the south side of 22nd Ave. had been constructed, and the divided center of 22nd St. was limited to parking and one commercial building. The citrus grove was being residentially developed in 1989, and by 1993 all roads and multi-family buildings had been finished. The houses and trailer park south of the Site were present prior to 1965, and the area along the water east of u.S. Hwy 1 was developed, as well.

There is a condo- minium complex to the north of the site along N.E. 4th St., and beyond that is a Cumberland Farms Convenience S1;-ore. There were no fuel facilities associated with the convenience store. North of the Site to the east was a veterinary clinic and a VFW hall. There was an engine on the grounds of the veterinary clinic, but there was no evidence that maintenance activities of the engine had impacted the Site. Beyond the clinic and the VFW hall was a small shopping center on the south side of Gateway Blvd. (N.E. 22nd Ave.) which was occupied by a beauty shop, a Dollar Store, a dog groomer, and a small food store. Next to the strip center was Royal Coin Laundry which was abandoned. The laundry advertised dry cleaning, but there were no drums on the premises. It was likely a pick-up location.

We propose to develop 34 Single Family Units on the subject property. Conveyance will be fee simple of the units only with all remaining property to be owned and maintained by the H.C.A. The Record Plat will indicate the unit footprint together with easements for ingress/egress, utilities and drainage. Development of the subject property under the current R-) zoning as outlined above is not allowed. We propose to rezone the subject property to P.U.D. based upon the following: The subject property is under unified control, and will be planned and developed in one phase, with unit construction related to the sales program. A buffer treatment adjacent the boundary of EAST RIDGE will consist of a hedge as indicated on the landscape plan and a chain link fence as shown on the master plan. Additional plantings will be located adjacent HE 4th Street and throughout the P.U.D. as indicated on the landscape plan. The sanitary sewer system will consist of a series of manholes, 8" gravity pipe and 6" sewer laterals to provide service to the units. The 6" sewer laterals will terminate outside of the roadway. This portion of the sanitary sewer system will be owned and maintained by the City after all applicable governmental approvals. The balance of the sanitary sewer system will consist of 4" sewer lateral, connected to the "City 6" sewer lateral" and run t() the unit. This portion of the sanitary sewer system will be owned and maintained by the unit owner. The water distribution system will consist of a series of 8" watermain, fire hydrants, gate valves, fittings and water services. The water services will terminate at the proposed meter location. This portion of the water distribution system will be owned and maintained by the City after all applicable governmental approvals. The balance of the water distribution system will consist of a water service connected to the "City Water Meter and Service" and run to the unit. This portion of the water distribution system will be owned and maintained by the unit owner. The physical character of the site will be maintained with respect to grade as indicated on our Grading-Paving-Drainage Plan. The drainage system will be owned and maintained by the H.O.A. and is designed to the specifications of the City and the S.F.W.M.D. All applicable governmental approvals and permits will be obtained in proper sequence. The roadway will be private and will be owned and maintained by the H.O.A. All applicable City approvals and permits will be obtained in proper sequence.
