Boynton Beach Blvd. POBox 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 RE: TRI-RAIL STATION Boynton Beach, Florida CT&A PROJECT NO. 93-005501 Dear Ms. Heyden. As agent for the owner, please accept this letter on their behalf as our formal request for rehef from two reqUIrements of the Landscape Code of Boynton Beach. The first request IS regardIng the reqUIrement of a landscape stnp between the vehicular use area and the property hne. The eastern boundary of this site adJoIns the Southeast Flonda Rail Corndor In which the actual Tn-Rail Station IS located. SInce these two properties must function as one site and are owned by the same entity for all practical purposes, we respectfully request that this site does not have to prOVide the landscape stnp along the eastern boundary The second request IS regardIng the reqUIrements of a penmeter hedge and trees between the vehicular use area and property hne. Along the north and northwest property lIne we are proVidIng a landscape buffer With a mInimum Width of 40 feet This buffer consists of natural native vegetation left Intact or transplanted from the InterIor of the site We beheve that the eXistIng understory and transplanted pInes and oaks Will prOVide the landscape screenmg Intended by the perImeter hedge and tree reqUIrement. Also, the hedge and trees reqUIred along the eastern property lIne cannot be prOVided due to the conditIOn deSCrIbed In the first request of this letter In addition, even though the access parcells Included m the site plan It IS held In separate ownership Therefore we have prOVided the perImeter hedge and tree reqUIrement adjacent to our southern property lIne (north Side of the access road) The area adjacent to the southern Side of the access road would be landscaped when the adjacent parcel IS developed. f MS. TAMBRI HAYDEN CT&A PROJECT NO 93-005501 MARCH 13, 1995 PAGE 2 It IS our understandIng that these landscape appeals will be processed In conJunction with our site plan apphcatIon. If you should have any questions, please do not heSitate to call.
