TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW
Dear Mr. Rumpf:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic study (Received on
July 11, 2000) for the project entitled; Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,
pursuant to the Traffic Performance Standards in ArtiCle 15 of the Palm Beach County
land Development Code. The project is summarized as follows:
Municipality: Boynton Beach
Proposed Uses: 11,755 sf Church
New Daily Trips: 107
Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the project generates less
than 200 daily trips, and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm
Beach County.
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ENGINEER

Dear Mr. Shropa,
As you are aware, we do not use our buildings for ar.ything other than churcn-relatec activities \Ve do not use our
facilities for daycare centers or temporal schooling activity of an} type. We do not rent OLlt Ollr :a.ciIiLies tc
organizations Ilor do we make them available forpublic ftnctions. CO:1saquellt1y, vehicle opera,:iolls ~ defined as round-
trips to and from the building. family member dro?-offs cr pick-ups etc.) are less than is typical for a b'lilding (If this
size and nature.
Typicall)-. the greatest number of vehicle operations occurs en Sundays. A ward like the Boynton Beach ward will
generate, ell average, 55-100 vehicleoperatiolls throughollt the entire day. During the week, youth activitie5 typically
take place on one night in the middle of the week and there mighc be 20-35 vehicle operations, at the mcst. Mondays,
there are no vehicle operations. During the rest of the weekdays the usual level of operations to and from the bl.iilding
IS less than 20. The only exceptions to this schedule would be if a ward social was held 011 a F'"lday, Saturday N a

GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. All utility easements shall be shown on the rectified site plan and landscaping
drawings so that we may determine which trees may interfere with utilities. In
general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility easements.
Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots and branches
will not impact those utilities within the easement in the foreseeable future. LOR
Sec. 7. 5-18.1 gives Public Utilities the authority to remove any trees that
interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.
2. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and
sewer systems serving this project (CODE Sec. 26-12).
3. CODE Sec. 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this
project either upon the request for the Department's signature on the Health
Department application forms or within 30 days of site plan approval, whichever
occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final meter size, or expected
demand.
4. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable water.
City water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other sources are
readily available.
5. Provide an engineer's written certification that drainage will conform to all rules
ofthe City and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) (per
LOR Chap. 4, Sec. 7F). [See also Engineering Comment #3.]
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
6. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included
within utility easements. These proposed easements are shown on the
engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. However, they are not
shown on the site plans or the landscape plan (see General Comment #1 above.).
The easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in
CODE Sec. 26-33(a).

7. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities,
on conditions that the systems be fully completed, and given to the City Utilities
Department before the first permanent meter is set. Note that setting of a
permanent water meter IS a prerequisite to obtaining the Certificate of
Occupancy.
8. A building permit for this project shall not be issued until this Department has
approved the plans for the water and/or sewer improvements required to service
this project, in accordance with CODE Sec. 26-15.
9. Delete the Fire Department connection shown on the Civil Engineering (CE)
drawing "Water and Sewer Plan" (Sheet 4), as a new fire hydrant is shown in the
same location. Label the fire line size entering the building at the southeast
comer.
10. Change the water service pipe size from y.." to a minimum of 1 " going to the lift
station; %" pipe size is not adequate for washdown purposes.
11. Utility construction details as shown on CE sheets 6 through 8 will not be
reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All construction details shall
be in accordance with the Utilities Department's "Utilities Engineering Design
Handbook and Construction Standards" manual; they will be reviewed at the time
of construction permit application.
12. Paving and Drainage details as shown on CE sheet 5 will be reviewed for
constructability at the time of construction permit application.

16. On the Site Plan add a general note that all plans submitted for specific permits
shall meet the City's code requirements at time of application. These permits
include, but are not limited to the following: site lighting, paving, drainage,
curbing, landscaping, and irrigation. Permits required from other permitting
agencies, such as FDOT, PBC, SFWMD, PBCDERM, L WDD, FDEP and any
others, shall be included with the permit request.
17. Add the following notes to the Civil Plans:
a. All striping, signage and markings shall conform to Standard
Drawing B-98001. Correct all views/details accordingly.
b. The drainage system shall conform to Standard Drawings B-91 007.
Correct all views accordingly.
18. Add the following engineer's certification to the Civil Plans: The drainage will
conform with all rules, regulations and codes of the City's Land Development
Regulations.
19. Consider combining the information, notes and details found on the "Site Plan"

plan for clarity and conformance to LDR Chapter 4, Section 7.B.
20. Show all traffic control devices on both the Site and Civil Plans which will
include directional arrows within the parking lot aisles.
21. The standard parking stall minimum is 18 feet in length. Where applicable, the
"D" curb may be moved 2 feet into the 18-foot stall and incorporated as a
continuous wheel stop. This allows additional landscape areas and eliminates the
need and maintenance of wheel stops. As an option, in front of the church
consider marking the 8-foot sidewalks, 10 feet wide. This will eliminate the
wheel stops and possible tripping hazards.
22. Provide a copy of the modified SFWMD permit and one from L WDD (if
required).
23. The longitudinal "D" curb along the east and north property lines is optional if
desired except around the curvelinear areas.
24. If fill is imported or exported, an excavation/fill permit is required.
25. The cross-hatching along the east aisleway is not a requirement. If a fire lane is
desired, then it should be shown as specified in LDR Chapter 23, Article II.B.2
and II.M.
26. On sheet SD1.2 delete the reference to extruded curb around the terminal island.
27. On the Site and Civil Plans show the proposed sight lighting per LDR Chapter 4,
Section 7.B.

inch. [LDR Chapter 23, Article II.Q.]
30. Develop a swale along the bottom of the east perimeter berm to retain your
storm water on-site instead of on the abutting residential neighborhood. [105.12
of the 1999 Boynton Beach Administrative Code]
31. Consider locating the parking lot lights along the sidewalk to the back of
sidewalk for safety purposes.

34. Add a labeled symbol to the site plan that represents and delineates the path of
travel for the accessible route that is required between the accessible parking
spaces and the accessible entrance door(s) to the building. The symbol shall start
at the accessible parking space(s) and terminate at the accessible entrance door(s)
to the building. The symbol shall represent the location of the path of travel, not
the location of the detectable warning or other pavement markings that are
required to be installed along the path. Identify on the plan the width of the
accessible route. (Note: The minimum width required by the code is forty-four
(44) inches). Add text that would indicate that the symbol represents the
accessible route and the route is designed in compliance with Section 4.3
(Accessible Route) and 4.6 (Parking and Passenger Loading Zones) of the Florida
Accessibility Code for Building Construction. Please note that at time of permit
review the applicant shall provide detailed documentation on the plans that will
verify that the accessible route is in compliance with the regulations specified in
the Florida Accessibility Code for Building Construction. This documentation
shall include, but not be limited to, providing finish grade elevations along the
path of travel.
35. Within the site data found on the sheet SD 1.1 and SD 1.2, identify the proposed
finish floor elevation of the proposed building (lowest floor elevation). Verify

31 of the Boynton Beach amendments to the 1997 edition of the
Standard Building Code]
b. From the FIRM map, identify the title of the flood zone that the
building is located within. Where applicable, specify the base flood
elevation. If there is no base flood elevation, indicate that on the
plans.
c. Identify the floor elevation that the design professional has
established for the building within the footprint of the building that
is shown on the site plan, floor plan and civil plan.
36. Add to the site data the number of stories in (the!each) building including
