Dear Mike.
I am responding to your recent request to explain how our proposed CarMax auto dealership at
Quantum Park will comply with section N of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations.
It is our understanding that the City will require a more detailed environmental review during the
site plan approval process.
The following is my response to section N Performance Standards.
I NOISE. The CarMax facility will comply with Section 15-8 of the City of Boynton
Beach Code of Ordinances. The noise level is comparable to any auto dealership
conductmg repair work in an enclosed space. CarMax will not install any loud speaker
or paging system on the site. There are no adjacent residential areas.
2 VIBRATIONS The CarMax operation does not generate any unusual or excessive
ground vibrations and will comply with the City s requirements.
3 SMOKE. DUST. DIRT OR OTHER PARTICULATE MATTER. CarMax will comply
with the City s requirements for control of smoke, dust, dirt or other particulate matter
CarMax will also comply wIth all Federal, State, County or City laws or permits
governing the emission of such substances.
4 ODORS AND FUMES CarMax will not generate objectionable odors or fumes that
would be perceptible at any point at or beyond the boundary of the site. Also note that
the CarMax property does not abutt any residential districts.
5 TOXIC OR NOXIOUS MATTER. See response to Item # II
6 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Storage and use of flammable materials will be in
accordance with the provisions of Chapter 9 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances. The CarMax building will contain a fire suppression sprinkler system.
The CarMax facllity will not create a fire or explosion hazard to adjacent or nearby
property or right of way
An underground fuel tank will be installed on site in accordance with all City County
State and Federal regulations for installation, monitoring and maintenance of the fuel
tank.
7 HEAT. HUMIDITY OR GLARE. The CarMax facility will not produce heat, humidity
or glare which is readily perceptible at any point at or beyond the property line. Site
lighting will consist of shoe box type light fixtures which direct the light downward to
the ground surface below

conformance with Chapter 26 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances or any
applicable Federal, State or County laws or permits.
9 SOLID WASTE We regard to disposal of solid waste, CarMax \vill operate in
conformance with Chapter 10 of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances.
10 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE CarMax will not have any generators of
electromagnetic interference on the sIte which would violate the requirements outlined
in this section.
11 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND HAZARDOUS WASTE CarMax will comply in
all respects to the City s requirements regarding this item. Please note that CarMax will
operate in the manner that a normal auto dealership or gas/service station operates with
respect to handling of hazardous matenals and hazardous wastes. All waste fluids taken
from vehicles including motor oil, antifreeze, brake and transmission fluids are removed
from the site by licensed vendors for dIsposal at regulated sItes. Used tires and batteries
are also removed by licensed vendors. An oil separator system is installed under the
floor drains in the service area of the building in order to keep oil and other fluids from
entering the sanitary sewer system.
