Dear Mr Rumpf Please accept thIS letter and the enclosed 10 sets of revised plans as or response to the 2nd reVIew comments of the TechnIcal ReVIew CommIttee (TRC). We beheve that we have appropnately addressed all of the comments and recommendatIOns. Our responses appear m the same order as they occur m your TRC letter, as follows. UTILITIES DEPARTMENT. I All utlhty easements have been sho\\TI on our revised landscape plans, and the plans have been amended to remove canopy trees from easement areas. 2. The reVIsed site plans show all eXlstmg utihtIes, water supply wells and easements. The raw water mam that currently traverses the site IS shov..n to be relocated to aVOid the proposed buildmg. We understand that tms relocation must be done at the developer's expense. 3 We understand that we must make an apphcatIOn to the Department of EnVIronmental Resources Management (ERM) for a permIt for construction WIthm a water supply wellfield. We expect to apply for thIS permIt shortly In any event, we know that the permIt must be Issued pnor to our applIcatIOn for a buildmg permIt, and copIes will be proVided to the CIty 4 We have adJusted our site engmeenng plans to comply WIth the reqUIrements that fire hydrants be located no further than 300' apart and that no portIon of the proposed buildmg be more than 200' from a hydrant. Mr MIchael Rumpf Lowe's 2nd reVIew TRC comments November 1, 1999 Page 2 FIRE DEPARTMENT. 5 We have submItted fire flow calculatIons for the proJect. We understand that a fire flow test wIll be reqUIred and that hydrants and access roads must be mstalled pnor to ImtIatIOn of vertIcal constructIon. ENGINEERING DIVISION. 6 We have shown the locatIOn of stop bars and SIgnS at the end of parkmg rows, where appropnate. 7 We understand and agree that all roadway Improvements specIfied m the approved traffic report must be Installed pnor to the Issuance of a CertIficate of Occupancy, eIther temporary or permanent. 8 All proposed stnpmg has been shown on the reVIsed slte plan and SIte pavmg & dramage plans submItted hereWIth. 9 A 6 mch truck sIdewalk has been shown gomg through all dnveways. lOA pollution control devIce has been sho\\-n on the reVIsed plans, for mstallatIOn m the structure adjacent to the truck well. 11 We have submItted an apphcatIOn for a parkmg lot standards vanance to allow our thIrd dnveway BUILDING DIVISION. 12. We have added the handIcap accessible symbol to the SIte plan at the customer loadmg entrance, as requested. 13 As requested, we have added symbols to the SIte plan that mdIcate the path of travel for handIcap accessible routes, and have prOVIded text that mdIcates the routes shown comply With the requIrements of the Flonda Accessibihty Code. 14 We have added the FEMA flood desIgnatIOn to the tabular data on the SIte plan and have specIfied the base flood elevatIon and stated that the proposed fimshed floor elevatIOn IS above the 100 year base flood elevatIon. The landscape plan has been amended to reflect the proper floor elevatIon. Mr Michael Rumpf Lowe S 2nd reVIew TRC comments November l, 1999 Page 3 13 Our revIsed drawmg package mcludes buildIng elevatIOns that are fully dimensIOned. ThelocatIon of proposed wall SignS, \\1th dImensIOns IS sho\\'n on the elevatIOns. We have also provided the aggregate SIgn area calculations m the tabular data on the plans. We do not agree that the colored buildmg area behmd the SIgn on the west sIde of the buildmg should be calculated as part of the SIgn area. ThIS colored area IS a part of the buildmg design and IS mdependent of the SIgn. If the SIgn were relocated, thIS colored area would remam as an mtegral part of the bUIldIng desIgn. 14 We have added the note requested, mdlcatmg that the locatIOn of the hght poles IS conceptual and that the fixtures will illummate the site m conformance Wlth the parlang lot Code 15 We have dimensIOned the setbacks for the buildmg on the revIsed plans, as requested. Please refer to sheets Al & A2 for labehng and dlmensIOmng canopIes and awnmgs. 16 Same as # 15 above. 17 Signed and sealed worlang draWlngs for the buildIng will be submItted at the tIme of buildmg permIt apphcatIOn. 18 At the tIme ofbuildmg penrut reVIew, tabular mformatIOn will be added to the SIte plan and floor plans to note the type of constructIOn and occupancy classIficatIon of the buildmg. The worlang drawmgs will demonstrate comphance Wlth Chapter 20 of the Land Development RegulatIOns. 19 We understand that permIt fees, water & sewer fees FIfe & LIfe Safety fees, County fees and State fees will be determmed and paId at the tIme of permIt revIew 20 We understand that permIts are requITed to construct the Improvements that are shown on the site plan and m the CondItIonal Use documents. FORESTER/ENVIRONMENT ALIST. 21 The dISposItIOn of all eXIstmg trees shown on the survey are noted on the landscape plan. PLANNING AND ZONING. 22. All drawmgs submItted for permIt approval will be sIgned and sealed, as noted. Mr MIchael Rumpf Lowe's 2nd review TRC comments November 1, 1999 Page 4 23 We have made apphcatIon for a height exception approval for the entry feature, to allow 50', rather than the normal hmIt of 45' The revIsed site plan provIdes for a 27' Isle WIdth adjacent to all parkmg spaces, as reqUIred by Code. We have provided a parkmg space detaIl, showmg the width of parkmg stalls, mcludmg handIcap spaces and SignS. The proposed buddmg has parapets to screen the VIew of rooftop mechanIcal eqUIpment from VIew out to 600' on the south and west sIdes. However, total screemng IS not be possible from VIew from the north sIde because of the 1-95 ramps and the fact that Woolbnght Road IS elevated over 1-95, so no parapet IS provIded on the northslde. Also, smce the east side faces a large undeveloped property that IS zoned as a park and IS not vIsible to any roadway or developed property no parapet IS provIded here eIther 24 We have submItted our Traffic Concurrency apphcatlon to the Palm Beach County Traffic DIVISIOn, and will have an approval letter pnor to final approval of our apphcatIOns from the CIty Council. 25 We have submitted vanance apphcatIOns to allow two site SIgnS, and to allow one of them to exceed the normal height hmlt of 20 feet. 26 We have submitted apphcatIons for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to reclaSSify the Industnal portIon of the site to Commumty Commercial and to rezone that portIon of the site from Pill to C-3 We have also submitted an apphcatIOn to remove that portIOn of the SIte from the Boynton Park of Commerce, and correspondmgly amend the Master Plan for the Park of Commerce 27 We understand that a rectIfied SIte plan meetmg all conditIons of approval must be submItted at the time ofbUlldmg permIt apphcatlon. 28 Our landscape plan has been amended to proVIde addItional landscape treatment around the eXlstmg entrance wall Sign for the Boynton Park of Commerce. Landscape Improvements to the wall SIgn on the opposIte comer will be made as well, as requested. 29 We have added Sign area calculatIOns for the SIte SIgnS to our tabular data, as requested. 30 The SIte plan and landscape plan have been coordmated to match each other WIth respect to the number and locatIOn of handIcap parkmg spaces. 31 The locatIOn of the site hghtmg fixtures have been adJusted so that they do not mterfere WIth the use of parkmg spaces. Mr Michael Rumpf Lowe's 2nd reVIew TRC comments November 1, 1999 Page 5 32. We have dImensIOned the depth of the access Isles to demonstrate that they meet the reqUIred stackmg dIstance of 100 feet. 33 The bUIldmg elevations have been modIfied to provIde Improvements to the north sIde of the garden area, to provIde a more attractIve appearance along Woolbnght Road, as requested. 34 The eXIstmg wall SIgn will be renovated and pamted to be consIstent WIth proposed monument SIgn. Lowe s requests that the new monument SIgn be allowed to be 20' hIgh, as allowed by Code. 35 We have made appltcatIOn to allow two SIte SIgnS. 36 We will be submItmg color samples and manufacturer's codes for the proposed butldmg, as requested, pnor to the first pubhc heanng. We request that the standard Lowe's colors be allowed for the proposed buildmg. Our reVIew of the area has concluded that there IS no estabhshed archItectural theme or umform color scheme for the area. ThIs mtersectIon IS currently occupIed by an office buildmg, a Home Depot store and a Cracker Barrel restaurant that all have dIfferent and dlstmct archItectural desIgns and color schemes. We beheve that the standard Lowe's colors are attractIve and appropnate for the proposed buildmg, and would not appear to be mcompatible WIth the establtshed appearance of the area. 37 Our revIsed SIte plan utlhzes our southern dnveway as a shared dnveway WIth the office/warehouse buildmg proposed adjacent to the south. ThIS dnveway WIll serve the parkmg spaces for the adjacent buildmg and will serve entrance Isles mto the Lowe's parkmg lot. ThIS dnve will pnmarily serve customer vehIcles, although some dehvery vehIcles will also use It. Lowe's will also use the truck entrance on the south SIde of the adjacent buildIng for the larger dehvery vehIcles, and has a general access easement for that purpose, WhICh IS dedtcated by Plat. Consequently, there will be mmnnal opportumty for COnflIct between delIvery trucks and other traffic usmg eIther the low's SIte or the adjacent bUIldmg to the south. We request, however, that we be allowed to use thIS dnveway for semI trucks until the mdustnal buildmg on the adjacent property IS constructed. 38 We are m agreement that the landscape buffer provIded along our south boundary will functIon also to serve as the penmeter buffer for the adjacent PID Landscape enhancements Mr Michael Rumpf Lowe's 2nd reVIew TRC comments November 1, 1999 Page 6 have been provIded for this area on our revised landscape plan, as requested. 39 DImensIOns have been provIded on the elevatIon drawmgs, as requested. 40 The tree locatIons m the parkmg lot have been shown on both the sIte plan and landscape plan, as requested. 41 AddItIOnallandscapmg along Corporate Dnve has been placed on the landscape plan, as requested. AddItIOnallandscapmg mcludes tlowenng trees. 42 As noted above, Lowe's and the adJacent owner to the south have cross-access between the two projects by way of general cross-access easement dedicated on the Plat of WhICh they are both a part. We beheve that we have adequately addressed and resolved all of the Issues raIsed by the TRC We look forward to proceedmg through the approval process, and to the constructIOn of the proposed facihty If you have any questIOns relatIve to any of the answers that we have provIded, or desIre any addItIOnal mformatIOn, please do not hesItate to contact me Very truly yours, ~l~ Robert E.
