Publir. Wnrk,,- TrqjJir " 3; Prior to issuance of any building pennits the Developer shall evaluate the impact of traffic (turning movements) on High Ridge Road, particularly at the entrance to the Tri-Rail Station (unnamed road), at Gateway Boulevard and at the proposed entrances into the residential portions of the project (east and west from High Ridge Road), based on fuB build-out of the residential and commercial properties for traffic signals. If signals are found to be warranted, the Developer shall post a Letter of Credit in the amount of 110% of the estimated cost of signal installation against construction of the signal. If signals are not warranted the Developer shall post a Letter of Credit in the amount of 50% of the estimated cost of signal instaUation against future construction of the signal based upon future development and full build-out of the properties along the west side of High Ridge Road north and south of this proposed project. Posting of the Letters of Credit shall be required prior to issuance of any building pennits. The Letter of Credit shall expire three (3) years from its date of issue if the other off-site improvements/developments do not proceed as anticipated. Mr Michael Rumpf September 4 2002 Page 20f6 As is being done with the Quantum Park and Villages South, the City will help facilitate a "Recapture" agreement. The City will instigate new traffic studies as development continues on the north side of Gateway Blvd. and work to have the developers reimbursed based on the percent benefit each acquires from signalization. Signal Warrant Analysis for High Ridge Road oJ Gateway Boulevard The intersection of High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard is currently signalized Therefore, a signal warrant analysis was not performed Signal Warrant Analysis for High RUlge Road oJ Project's Driveway Quantum Village East is proposed to include 39 mu/ti-family dwelling units, while Wuantum Village West will include 136 multi-family dwelling units. Based upon trip generation analysis for this intensity, as summarized in Table 1, a total of 89 AM peak hour trips and 108 PM peak hour trips will be generated by both residential developments. The trips for each development were then distributed based upon the proximity of Gateway Boulevard and 1-95, assuming a significant majority of the trips generated by these residential developments will be oriented towards Gateway Boulevard Figure 1 graphically depicts the proposed peak hour turning movement volumes for the two developments. Comments from City staff have indicated the need to assess whether or not a traffic signal is warranted at the intersection serving both Quantum East (parcel 89B) and Quantum West (MU 83-88) on High Ridge Road. Traffic signals must meet implementation "warrants" as outlined in the Manual on Uniform Trqffic Control Devices, Millennium Edition (MUTCD 2000), based upon minimum vehicular volumes for the major street (High Ridge Road) anp the minor street (driveway connection to Quantum East and Quantum West) Warrant #1 (Eight-hour vehicular Volume) provides minimum hourly thresholds over an eight- hour period that must be met by both the major and minor street to implement a traffic signal. Assuming that High Ridge Road includes two lanes in the northbound and southbound direction while the minor street has only one lane, trqffic volumes per hour on the higher-volume approach for the minor street must exceed 100 vehicles for eight (8) hours during an average day Based on the attached trip generation analysis, the approach serving Quantum West (136 dwelling units which represents the largest approach volume) will only generate 58 trips during the AM peak hour This volume will decrease dramatically during off-peak hours. Therpfnre, Warrant # 1 will nnt he met hy huildnut nfthe prnject Warrant #3 (peak Hour) is intendedfor intersections where the peak hour volume is sufficient to cause significant traffic delays to the minor street for a minimum of one (1) hour during an average day This warrant is based upon corresponding minimum vehicular volume thresholds for both the minor and major street. For example, as the amount of hourly volume increases on the major street, the amount of minor street volume necessary to meet the warrant is decreased Given the number of lanes provided on High Ridge Road and the minor street approach with the highest hourly volume, a minimum threshold of 100 vehicles during any one (1) hour of an Mr Michael Rumpf September 4 2002 Page 3 of6 average day must be present on the minor street approach (assuming that a hourly volume on High Ridge Road exceeds 1,700 vehicles per hour does not occur) Since the mnrimum hnurly vnlume tn he generated hy the ..Ue (';8 AM peak hour trips) i..

Located approximately 500 feet south of the driveway proposed to serve the residential development of Quantum Village East and Quantum Village West, the number of trips using the Tri-Rail Station driveway is approximately one-half that expected to use the residential driveway A .....uming that thi... driveway nnly ..eroe... the Tri-Rail Statinn., and ...ince the Tri-Rail Statinn dne... nnt generate mnre neak hnur trin.. nr mnre daily "in... than .L.L "- QIlantum Vill4ge Fnst and QIlantum Vill4ge We..( it can be concluded thal a trnffic rignal is not warranted at the int,,"ecti.on qf HigJr Ridge Road and the Tn-Rail !t:taJion tbivew~ connection ..ince a "riffic ..ignnl i.. nnt warranted at that Incatinn 5. If a signal is not found to be required at this time, re-evaluate stopping sight distances for the southbound lanes of High Ridge Road approaching the north commercial entrance. It will be necessary to eliminate landscaping, concrete waDs and provide additional signage to provide adequate advance notice for traffic approaching this driveway Since the intersection of High Ridge Road and the North Commercial driveway entrance does not meet warrants for signalization, stopping sight distances were evaluated at this intersection to determine the potential impact resulting from the development of the a4jacent residential parcel immediately to the north. Based upon a design speed of 35 miles per hour (although the posted speed limit is 30 miles per hour), approximately 360 feet of sight distance must be provided at the North Commercial driveway connection to High Ridge Road, per Palm Beach County and City of Boynton Beach design standards. A review of the proposed site plan indicates that sufficient sight distance will be provided at the North Commercial driveway connection, provided landscaping and other visual obstnJctions are eliminated from the line of sight. Based upon design standards, vegetation located in the sight distance area immediately north of the commercial driveway will he helnw 10 inche... in height (prpferahly even le...~ nr greater than eight (8) fpet in height (prpfprahly even mnrp) tn enwne that nn driver viwhilifJ' i.. nhwructed This includes canopy limbs that may inadvertently extend into the required visibility area. 6. A Permit to Construct within the Public Right-of-Way, issued by the Engineering Division of Public Works, will be required for work on Gateway Boulevard. Permits may also be required Mr Michael Rumpf September 4 2002 Page 40f6 from Palm Beach County and the Quantum Park POA for work on High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard. Noted 7 Relocate the "transition" (three to two-lane northbound) on High Ridge Road (adjacent to Lot 89B) north, so that the three-lane section extends to the north property line of Lot 89B. This is to prevent turning movement and stacking conflicts for traffic entering the east and west residential developments. Show proposed off-site roadway improvements (signing, striping, curb, curb & gutter, pavement, etc.) for High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard. The "transition" section of High Ridge Rood, where the northbound outside through lane is merged with the northbound inside through lane, corresponds with the approximate location of the residential driveway that will serve Lot 89B. Instead of extending the merge section further to the north, we propose to utilize the northbound outside through lane, which is being dropped, as a northbound right-turn lane serving the residential community. This will better define the flow of traffic in the vicinity of the site by removing the northbound trips oriented to Lot 89B from the northbound through movement, thereby reducing vehicular conflicts and weaving maneuvers. Improved signing and pavement marking will also improve the traffic operation in the merge section of northbound High Ridge Road by providing motorists with the requisite information to align their vehicles in the proper lane. No off-site roadway improvements are proposed for the intersection of High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard 8. Extend the medians on High Ridge Road and, as necessary, on Gateway Boulevard, in accordance with FOOT specifications to guide traffic into the proposed ingress lanes. To assess whether or not the amount of vehicular storage is adequate to accommodate the northbound left-turn movement into the residential development of Quantum Village West, the anticipated queue during the peak hour must be determined Based upon Highway Capacity Manual 2000 methodology and the projected northbound left-turn movement volumes and opposing southbound through traffic on High Ridge Road, thp. mlmhp.r nf whiclp... in tplP.UP. awaiting tn cnmplp.tp. thp. lpft hlm during thp. pp.ak hrmr i... p.Y:pp.ctp.d tn hp. nnp.

However, the current median opening to be utilized by both residential developments is approximately 115 feet wide, which is substantially wider than the typical opening for this type of development. Mr Michael Rumpf September 4 2002 Page 5 of6 nu.,.q(Wt'y In hPttPr J4i1l.P. thP. turnilfg IffflW'ItIP.n.tanatkfO within thP. i~p.r.tinn wp hpliPvP. tlwJ hath pnd Ifm:PS <if thP. nlPllinn fOhnuld bP.

Ff'p,ulfg This would result in em opening approximately 75 feet wide, which would still provide sufficient turning radii for Single Unit frock design vehicles (identified as SU in AASHTO) This improvement would also have the ancillary benefit of increasing the storage length available for the northbound left turn. It is not necessary to modify any medians or turn lanes on Gateway Boulevard In additIon to the comments receIved from the Public Works department, the followmg comment proVided by the Plannmg and Zomng Department mvolves a component of traffic engmeenng and IS addressed herein. .22.. 77- It is anticipated that there will be higher pedestrian traffic as a result of this project (residential development on both sides of High Ridge Road), in part, due to its close proximity with the Tri-Rail Station. This higher pedestrian traffic is encouraged. However, truck and other vehicular traffic on High Ridge Road could compromise pedestrian connectivity and safety between the two (2) residential lots located on each side of the roadway Staff recommends incorporating aesthetically pleasing traffic calming devices (subject to Engineering approval) on/near High Ridge Road that will help reduce vehicular speeds whHe protecting pedestrians traversing the roadway Traffic lights and lower speed limits alone will not accomplish this objective. We generally concur that pedestriem activity tolfrom the two residential developments from/to the Tri-Rail Station should be encouraged in an effort to increase mass transit use. To that end, the safe crossing of High Ridge Rood for residents of the proposed community west of High Ridge Rood is critical. An evaluation of available sight distance was performed at the proposed residential driveway connection to High Ridge Road. It was determined that sufficient stopping sight distance is provided for drivers traveling on High Ridge Road, given the landscaping within the median is either below 30 inches in height (preferably even less) or greater than eight (8) feet in height (preferably even more) to ensure that driver visibility is not obstrocted Therefore, pedestrians may safely cross High Ridge Rood and drivers traveling on High Ridge Rood will have ample ~stance to safely stop if a pedestrian is in the travel path. Recent research has indicated that the presence of a raised mediem (or raised crossing island) to provide a refuge for pedestrians was associated with a significantly lower crash rate at multi-lane sites, given traffic conditions similar to that on High Ridge Rood near the residential developments. Since a raised mediem island currently exists, the inclusion of a marked crosswalk in combination with Pedestrian Crossing signs (W1l-2, MUTeD 2000) and Downward Arrow signs (W16-7p, MUTCD 2000) indicating the location of the crosswalk is proposed to delineate the crossing area while providing a safe refuge for pedestrians. In addition, advanced warning signs (W11-2, MUTeD 2000) would be placed further upstream on High Ridge Rood to give motorists information that a pedestrian cros~alk is ahead. Mr Michael Rumpf September 4 2002 Page 60f6 We believe that these proposed improvements would provide a pedestrian crossing that is safe, provides connectivity between the two residential developments and the Tn-Rail Station, and if designed properly, is aesthetically pleasing.

Prior to issuance of any building permits the Developer shall evaluate the impact of traffic (turning movements) on High Ridge Road, particularly at the entrance to the Tri-Rail Station (unnamed road), at Gateway Boulevard and at the proposed entrances into the residential portions of the project (east and west from High Ridge Road), based on full build-out of the residential and commercial properties for traffic signals. If signals are found to be warranted, the Developer shall post a Letter of Credit in the amount of 110% of the estimated cost of signal installation against constmction of the signal. If signals are not warranted the Developer shall post a Letter of Credit in the amount of 50 % of the estimated cost of signal installation against future constmction of the signal based upon future development and full build-out of the properties along the west side of High Ridge Road north and south of this proposed project. Posting of the Letters of Credit shall be required prior to issuance of any building permits. The Letter of Credit shall expire three (3) years from its date of issue if the other off-site improvements/developments do not proceed as anticipated. Mr Michael Rumpf August 28. 2002 Page 2 of6 Signal Warrant AnalysiS for High Ridge Road at Gateway Boulevard The intersectIOn of High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard is currently signalized. Therefore, a signal warrant analysis was not perfonned. Signal Warrant Analysis/or HighRUlge Road at Project's Driveway Quantum Village East (Lot 89B) is proposed to include 39 multi-family dwelling units, while the development to the West will include 136 multi-family dwelling units. Based upon trip generation analysis for this intensity, as summarized in Table 1, a total of 89 AM peak hour trips and 108 PM peak hour trips will be generated by both residential developments. The trips for each development were then distributed based upon the proximity of Gateway Boulevard and 1- .95, assuming a significant majority of the trips generated by these residential developments will be oriented towards Gateway Boulevard. Figure 1 graphically depicts the proposed peak hour turning movement volumes for the two developments. "\ Comments- from City staff have indicated the need to assess whether or not a traffic signal is warranted at the intersection-serving both Quantum East (Lot 89B) and-Quantum Weston High Ridge Road. Traffic signals must meet implementation "warrants" as outlined in the ManUal on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Millennium Edition (MUTeD 2(00); based upon minimum vehicular volumes for the major street (High Ridge Road) and the minor street (driveway connection to Quantum East and Quantum West). Warrant #1 (Eight-hour vehicular Volume) provides minimum hourly thresholds over an eight- hour period that must be met by both the major and minor street to implement a traffic signal. Assuming that High Ridge Road includes two lanes in the northbound and southbound direction while the minor street has only one lane, traffic volumes per hour on the higher-volume approach for the minor street must exceed 100 vehicles for eight (8) hours during an average day Based on the attached trip generation analysis, the approach serving Quantum West (136 dwelling units which represents the largest approach volume) will only generate 58 trips during the AM peak hour This volume will decrease dramatically during off-peak hours. Thp.rpfnrp., Warrant #1 will not hp. mp.t hy huiltlnut nfthp. prnJp.r.t Warrant #3 (Peak Hour) is intendedfor intersections where the peak hour volume is sufficient to cause significant traffic delays to the minor street for a minimum of one (1) hour during an average day This warrant is based upon corresponding mimmum vehicular volume thresholds for both the minor and major street. For example, as the amount of hourly volume increases on the major street, the amount of minor street volume necessary to meet the warrant is decreased. Given the number of lanes provided on High Ridge Road and the minor street approach with the highest hourly volume, a minimum threshold of 100 vehicles durmg anyone (1) hour of an average day must be present on the minor street approach (assuming that a hourly volume on High Ridge Road exceeds 1,700 vehicles per hour does not occur).

Located approximately 500 feet south of the driveway proposed to serve the residential development of Quantum Village East and Quantum Village West, the number of trips using the Tri-Rail Station driveway is approximately one-half that expected to use the residential driveway SinN' tlu> Tri-RailStatinn dnp.~ nntp. gp.nt~ratp. mnrp.

As is being done with the Quantum Park and Villages South, the City will help facilitate II "Recapture" agreement. The City will instigate new traffic studies as development continues on the north side of Gateway Blvd. and work. to have the developers reimbursed based on the percent benefit each acquires from signalization. Noted. 5. If a signal is not found to be required at this time, re-evaluate stopping sight distances for the southbound lanes of ffigh Ridge Road approaching the north commerciai entrance. It will be necessary to eliminate landscaping, concrete walls and provide additional signage to provide adequate advance notice for traffic approaching this driveway. Since the intersection of High Ridge Road and the North Commercial driveway .entrance does not meet warrants for signalization, stopping sight distances were evaluated at this intersection to determine the potential impact re~ulting from the development of the adjacent residential parcel immediately to the north. Based upon a design speed of 35 miles per hour (although the posted speed limit is 30 miles per hour), approximately 360 feet of sight distance must be provided at the North Commercial driveway connection to High Ridge Road, per Palm Beach County and City of Boynton Beach design standards. A review of the proposed site plan indicates that sufficient sight dlstance will be provided at the North Commercial driveway connection, provided landscaping and other visual obstructions are eliminated from the line of sight. Based upon design standards, vegetation located in the sight distance area immediately north of the commerczal driveway will hp. hp.law :w inr.hp.~ in hPight (nrpfp.rnhly pvp.n lp.....~) nr grp.atp.r than p.ight (R) fp.p.t In hp.lght (prpfp.rnhly p.vp.n mnrp.) ta p.n...urp. that na drivP.r vi....ihilzty is ah...tmrtp.d ThlS includes canopy limbs that may inadvertently extend into the required visibilzty area. Mr Michael Rumpf August 28, 2002 Page 4 of6 6. A Permit to Construct within the Public Right-of-Way, issued by the Engineering Division of Public Works, will be required for work on Gateway Boulevard. Permits may also be required from Palm Beach County and the Quantum Park POA for work on High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard. Noted. 7. Relocate the "transition" (three to two-lane northbound) on ffigh Ridge Road (adjacent to Lot 89B) north, so that the three-lane section extends to the north property line of Lot 89B. This is to prevent turning ,~ovement and stacking conflicts for traffic entering the east and west residential developments. Show proposed off-site roadway improvements (signing, striping, curb, curb & gutter, pavement, etc.) for High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard. The "transition" section of High Ridge Road, where the northbound outside through lane is merged with the northbound inside through lane, corresponds with the approximate location of the residential driveway that will serve Lot 89B. Instead of extending the merge section further to the north, we propose to utilize the northbound outside through lane, which is being dropped, as a northbound right-turn lane serving the res~ntial community. This will better define the flow of traffic in the vicinity of the site by removing the northbound trips oriented to Lot 89B from the northbound through movement, thereby reducing vehicular conflicts and weaving maneuvers. Improved signing and pavement marking will also improve the traffic operation in the merge section of R<Jrthbound High 8idge Road by providi"g motorists with the requisite information to align their vehicles in the proper lane. No off-site roadway improvements are proposed for the intersection of High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard. 8. Extend the medians on ffigh Ridge Road and, as necessary, on Gateway Boulevard, in accordance with FDOT specifications to guide traffic into the proposed ingress lanes. To assess whether or not the amount of vehicular storage is adequate to accommodate the northbound left-turn movement into the residential development of Quantum Village West, the anticipated queue during the peak hour must be detennined. Based upon Highway Capacity Manual 2000 methodology and the projected northbound left-turn movement volumes and opposing southbound through traffic on High Ridge Road, thp. numhp.r nf vehide.. in queue awaiting ta ramplete the lt7ft turn during thp. pp.ak haur i.. er.['erted ta hp. ane (1) ar lPH, wzth a ranfidenre level nf 9') perrent Since the available storage provided for the exclusive northbound left-turn lane on High Ridge Road (75 feet) exceeds the anticipated maximum queue length (estlmated to be one (1) vehicle with a length of 25 feet), the tlLm lane is of ""!fident length ta prnvzde ample ..tarogp. far the narthhQlLnd lt7ft turn at thp. Quantum Villagp We..t and Quantum Village Ea..t driveway withaut the ql.lel.lp. ertending into the narthhmmd thrnllgh lane... Therefore, It is not necessary to extend the median on High Ridge Road to guide traffic into the ingress lane. Mr Michael Rumpf August 28, 2002 Page 5 of6 However, the current median opening to be utilized by both residential developments is approXlmately 115 feet wide, which is substantially wider than the typical opening for this type of development. TherQore. to better dtifine the tumin.g movement path... within the inten;ectiol(, we belii!ve that both end no!;e~... of the medinn ....hould be extended qpprnrimatelv 20 feet to narrow the QJJiming This would result in an opening approximately 75 feet wide, which would still provide sufficient turnzng radiifor Single Unit truck design vehicles (identified as SU inAASHfO). This improvement would also have the ancillary benefit of increasing the storage length available for the northbound left turn. It is not-necessary to modify any medians or turn lanes on Gateway Boulevard. In addition to the comments received from.the Public Works department. the following comment provided by the Planning and Zoning Department involves a component of traffic engineering and is addressed herein. 77. It is anticipated that there will be higher pedestrian traffic as a result of this project (residential development on bOth sides of High Ridge Road), in part, due to its close proximity with the Tri-Rail Station. This higher pedestrian traffic is encouraged. However, truck and other vehicular traffic on High Ridge Road could compromise pedestrian connectivity and safety between the two (2) residential lots located on each side of the roadway. Staff .recommends incorporating aesthetically pleasing traffic calming devices (subject to Engineering approval) on/near High Ridge Road that will help reduce vehicular speeds while protecting pedestrians traversing the roadway Traffic lights and lower speed limits alone will not-accomplish this objective. We generally concur that pedestrian activity to/from the two residential developments from/to the Tri-Rail Station should be encouraged in an effort to increase mass transit use. To that end, the safe crossing of High Ridge Road for residents of the proposed community west of High Ridge Road is critical. An evaluation of available SIght distance was performed at the proposed residential driveway connection to High Ridge Road. It was determined that sufficient stopping sight distance is provided for drivers traveling on High Ridge Road. given the landscaping within the median is either below 30 inches in height (preferably even less) or greater than eight (8) feet in height (preferably even more) to ensure that driver visibility is not obstructed. Therefore, pedestrians may safely cross High Ridge Road and drivers traveling on High Ridge Road will have ample distance to safely stop if a pedestrian is in the travel path. Recent research has indicated that the presence of a raised median (or raised crossing island) to provide a refuge for pedestrians was associated with a significantly lower crash rate at multi-lane sites, given traffic conditions similar to that on Hlgh Ridge Road near the residential developments. Since a raised median island currently exists, the inclusion of a marked crosswalk Mr Michael Rumpf August 28, 2002 Page 6 0[6 in combination with Pedestrian Crossing signs (WIl-2, MUTCD 20(0) and Downward Arrow signs (W16-7p, MUTCD 2(00) indicating the location of the crosswalk is proposed to delineate the crossing area while provuiing a safe refuge for pedestrians. In addition, advanced warning signs (Wll-2, MUTCD 2(00) would be placed further upstream on High Ridge Road to give motonsts information that a pedestrian crosswalk is ahead. We believe that these proposed improvements would provide a pedestrian crossing that is safe, provides connectivity between the two residential developments and the Tri-Rail Station, and if designed properly, is aesthetically pleasing We trust that the responses included thoroughly address your comments and concerns.

Boynton Beach Blvd. - West Wing Boynton Beach, FL. 33435 RE: REQUEST FOR WMvERS - QUANTUM VILLAGE AT QUANTUM PARK (RESIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF LOTS MU 83-88, ALL OF LOT 89B) Dear Mr Rumpf: Pursuant to the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordmances - Part ill - Land Development Regulations - Chapter 2- Zomng, Section 7- Planned Industrial Development District. and Chapter 2, Section 11 - Supplemental Regula.tlons, waIvers are hereby requested for Quantum Village at Quantum Parle The waivers will pertain to lots MU 83 through MU 88, I~ north of Gateway Boulevard; west of High Ridge Road; and OfficelIndustrial Parcel 89B, located north of Gateway Boulevard, east of High Ridge Road. A Notice of Proposed Change and Master Plan Amendment have been filed smlUltaneously WIth the City to convert Parcel 89B from office to mixed use. BACKGROUNDIHISTORICAL PETITION INFORMATION Quantum Park is a Development of Regional Impact approved m 1984 The Development Order granted for the park bas been amended smce its origmal adoption. The amendment that allows residential land uses WIthin the Park is Amendment No. 10 that "SImultaneously mcreased the comrnerClal intensities and decreased the office and mdustrial mtensItles. The Simultaneous mcrea.smg and decreasing of the land use mtensltles resulted in no addrtlonal regIOnal unpact most notably by not mcreasmg the total traffic generated" (Quantum Park Annual Status Report - March 2002) Parcels MU 83 through MU 88 have Master Plan approval that will allow development of the proposed commerCial and residential land uses. The commercial land uses will face Gateway Boulevard and the balance of the property will be developed as townhomes. The action reqUired by City Council to accomphsh thiS request IS grantmg of the waIvers outlined later m tlus letter A master plan amendment and Notice of Proposed Change have been submrtted for Parcel 89B that need to be approved pnor to the grantmg of waIvers to allow the townhomes proposed for the parcel. WAI~RS ~ SUPPORTING JUSIFICATION. Below is a hst of the waIvers and supportmg Justification from the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordmances Part ill - Land Development RegulatIons Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 7 - Planned Industn;u Development Dlstnct and Section II - Supplemental Design Standards Mr. Michael Rumpf, Director City of Boynton Beach Page 2 Iuly 17 2002 Part III - Ch. 2, Section 7 - H. Design Criteria: 15. Distance between buildings. Waiver of 5 feet to allow a reductIon m the lOlJl1Il1um distance from 25 feet to 20 feet. TIns waiver applies only to Parcel MU 87 JustIficatIon. ThIs IS a resldenttal pod that would typically be subject to the regulations contaIned in the R-3 MultIfamily Zomng DIstrIct, wInch requrres only a twenty-foot minimum building separation. The twenty five foot building separatIon reqUIred in the PIDD applies to mdustrial or commercial buildings that are allowed by Code a greater Floor Area RatIo and buildIng height that what is contemplated with tIns two story town home development. It IS also unportant to note that the City's code contemplated the separation would apply to buildIngs bemg on the "same lot or parcel of land" whereas the town homes will be fee sunple ownersInp The town house design presented based upon the twenty-foot separatIon is typical for a residenttal project, and m some junsdictIons, less building separation is actually required. Part 111- Ch. 2, Section 7 H. Design Criteria: 16. District setbacks: WaIver of 10 feet to allow a reduction in the rear yard setback from 30 feet to 20 feet. TIns waiver applies only to Parcel 89B JustificatIon. This waiver will apply to fourteen town homes located along the north property line of Parcel 89B. The reductIon m Width IS located on the rear .property lme in a remote area of the overall project. TIns reduction IS therefore the least disruptive to the design of the overall project, which provides for greater open space and building separa110n in other areas of the parcel. The adjaceut land uses already exist and screening of the town homes from those adjacent uses has been addressed in the landscape plan by the provision of a wall and landscape material. Part III - Ch. 2, Section 7 H. Design Criteria: 17. Peripheral greenbelt: Waiver of ten feet to allow a reduction m the peripheral buffer where adjacent to resldentiaI from 40 feet to 30 feet (Lots MU 83, 87 & 88); waiver of 5 feet to allow a reduction in the peripheral buffer from 25 feet to 20 feet (Lot 89B) JustIficatIon. Lots MU 83, 87 and 88 are adjacent to an area that carnes a non-conformmg resldentlal wnmg dIstrIct although the underlymg Comprehensive Plan land use designation IS Industnal. The purpose of the 40-foot buffer was to shield the resldentJalland uses located on the west property lme of the Park from future residential development. The antlcipated development pattern for the Park was non- residential; however, changes made to the DRI Master Plan now allow residential land uses within the park reducmg the potential for land use COnflicts along the penmeter of the park that the forty foot buffer requirement was supposed to address. Although the future land use designation of the parcel adjacent to MU 83, 87 and 88 IS industrIal, it IS quesb.onable if the property will actually develop as such based upon the amount of land area that remains within Quantum Park that is more readily available The north property lme of Parcel 89B would normally reqwre a 25 foot buffer The reduction of the buffer Width reduces the potent1al for other waIvers Within the parcel, such as building setbacks or parcel setbacks. The uses adjacent to the park m tins area have already been established and the town homes can be adequately screened as depicted on the landscape plan. Mr. Michael Rumpf: Director City ofBoyDlon Beach Page 3 July 17 2002 Part ill Chapter 2, Section 11 - Supplemental Regulations, H. Provision of off-street parking spaces - No.2 Waiver of3 feet to allow a rec;luction m1he minimum 12-foot width required for the first parking space (applies to MU 83 through MU 88 and Parcel 89B) Justdicatlon: This regulation reqwres the first required parking spaces that are not within a garage to be a mmimum of twelve feet in width. It is questionable if this provision should apply The regulatIon states that "for all required residential district parking spaces not within an enclosed garage; 1he first parking space shall be a minimum of twelve feet" All of the town home unIts have a single car garage. Therefore, the parkmg space outside of the garage is technically the second space. Notwithstanding this vanation, a waiver is requested that reduces the "first space" to 9 feet in width for units that have a single car driveway in front of the garage. The three-foot reduction allows for more open space and landscapmg in the front yard, enhancmg the overall appea.ranceof the community The smgle car driveway proVides sufficient maneuvering area because the length of the space is twenty feet, winch is two feet longer than required by code. This allows the ve1ucle to be situated fully withm the driveway, and prevents any overhang of the vehicle into 1he Sidewalk. Since these are pnvate driveways, there IS not turnover of vehicles using the space. It should..a1so be noted that a portion of the units have been designed with a 19 foot Wide drive aisle and therefore the waiver will not pertam to all of the spaces. If you have any questions regan:ling this request for waivers, please call me. Best regards, X.GI~~TES,INC. / Sara Lockhart, AICP Planning Admimstrator
