Dear Ms. Heyden:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the revised traff1c impact
study for tha project entitled Grove Plaza, pursuant to the Traffic Performance
Standards in Article 7.9 of the Palm Beach County Land Development Code. The
proposed project will consist of 18,000 square feet of general retail, 3,600
square feet of bank with drive-through ~nd 7,ZOO square feet, of fast food
restaurant with drive through. The build-out has been revised from mid yair 1996
to the end of 1996. The proposed project will generate 4,788 daily trips, given
a 5% internalization rate.
Thlil traffic study corrects the deficiency of the earlier traffic study. It
addressed the tr.ffic on Gateway Boulevard. The project is required to phase to
the widening of Gateway Boulevard from Military Trail to Congress Avenue. The

The project is al so requi red to phase to the widening of lantan.. ROld from
Military Trail to Congress Avenue. The project can build development generating
UP to 3,492 external daily trips before the contract is, let for this roadway
improvement. This roadway improvement is a reqUirement of the Winston Trails
PUD. They are rwquire to pay fo~ the improvement by the end of 1995. I do not
have the proposed contract letting date at this time.
The Traffic Division has determined that, based on the phasing of the project to
the widening of Gateway Bou1evard from Milita~y Tr.il to Congress Avenue and the
widening of lantana Road from Military Trail to Congress Avenue, the project

Palm Beach County has programmed the widening of Lawrence Road for FV 97/987.
This will be a S-lane roadway within a right-of-way of 80 feet. Hypoluxo Road
is shown to have an ultimate right*of-way of 110 feet. This will aecommodate a
6-1ane roadway. although the widening ts not scheduled at this time. Palm Beach
County request that the City of Boynton Beach require the development to dedicate
or reserve the right-of-way necessary for the ultimate cross section for Lawrence
Road and Hypoluxo Road, and an expanded intersection ilt Lawrance Road and
Hypolu)(o Road.
Sincerely,

RE: GROVE PLAZA
Dear Ms. Hayden:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic impact study for
the project entitled Grove Plaza, pursuant to the Traffic Performance Standards
in Article 7.9 of the Palm Beach County Land Development Code. The proposed
project will consist of 18,000 square feet of general retail, 3,600 square feet
of bank with drive-through and 7,200 square feet of fast food restaurant with
drive through. The build-out is 1996. The proposed project will generate 4,788
daily trips, given a 5% internalization rate.
The traffic study identifies Gateway Boulevard as being within its 2 mile study
area, but fails to address the traffic volumes on this roadway. As you are
aware, the existing traffic volumes on Gateway Boulevard, from Lawrence Road to
Congress Avenue, exceed the LOS D traffic volumes for both daily and peak hour,
peak direction traffic. The project would be required to phase to the widening
of Gateway Boulevard. The roadway improvement is scheduled for FY 96/97.
The Traffic Division has determined that the project does not meet requirements
of the Traffi c Performance Standards of Pal m Beach County. Phas i ng to the
widening of Gateway Boulevard is required to meet the Traffic Performance
',,' Standards. If you have any Questions regarding this deterrr:~r:ati:m, jJ1F.as€
contact me at 684-4030.
