RE: ALTA CHASE'S PARKING VARIANCE
Dear Mike:
As you aware, Wood Partners is requesting a parking variance for its Alta Chase
development in the City of Boynton Beach. Of the proposed 216 units to be built in this
project, 72 will be one-bedroom units, 108 will be two-bedroom units, and 36 will be
three-bedroom units. In addition to the healthy percentage of one-bedroom units, we
expect that this project will generally cater to young professionals. Many of our two-
bedroom apartments will be rented by singles with a need for a home office or guest
bedroom. Our company has built in excess of 50,000 apartment units throughout the
southeast and, further, we own a portfolio of several thousand apartments that were built
in the last few years. We also participate in exchange forums with our peers, through
organizations such as the Urban Land Institute. At these industry meetings, we
frequently discuss issues like parking requirements.
Given our long track record, communication with our peers, and our keen sensitivity to
our residents' needs, we hope that you will rely strongly on our judgment when we
indicate that the 1.9 parking spaces per dwelling unit that we have designed is more than
sufficient for this development. In fact, given Alta Chase's characteristics, we believe
that 1.75 spaces per dwelling unit would be ample. Parking spaces that we build above
and beyond the number already provided on our site plan will not be utilized and will
further take away what would have been green space.
