Property Owner' Villas at Quantum Lakes, Inc
Applicant/Agent: Mark Hanson, Vice President
Location Lot 101 Quantum Industrial Park
Land UselZoning Industrial/Planned Industrial Development (PID)
Quantum Park DRI Master Plan Land Use is Mixed Use - (MU)
Type of Use: Residential Multi-family
BACKGROUND
In February 2000, the Quantum Park DRI Development Order Amendment #10 changed the land use
designations for parcels 59 - 67C to allow "mixed-use", which permitted office, commercial, and residential uses.
Later that year (December 2000), the City of Boynton Beach approved a site plan for the Villas at Quantum Lakes
(f k.a. Grotto Bay) The site plan included 18, two-story buildings containing 271 rental apartment units. On
November 6, 2001, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No 01-54 approving Amendment #12 to the
Quantum Park DRI Changes were made to the Quantum Park Master Plan that included the elimination of a
portion of Quantum Lakes Drive resulting in the creation of Lot 100 and Lot 101 Lot 101 is directly west of the
multi-family residential project (Villas at Quantum Lakes), which is currently under construction (see Exhibit "A" -
Location Map) Earlier this year (2002), the project was modified to include the construction of three (3) additional
two-story apartment buildings containing 42 rental units.
This request for the drive aisle width reduction pertains to Lot 101 The proposed drive aisle is currently a portion
of the right-of-way for Quantum Lakes Drive The waiver request is to reduce the required width of the drive aisle
(parking back-up area) from 27 feet to 24 feet, which would match the back-up dimension approved for the first
portion of the project.
ANALYSIS
In accordance with Chapter 2, Section 7, Technical Site Plans, mixed-use pods in a PID may include waivers from
the standard development regulations. Six (6) of the original eight (8) waivers for the major site plan modification
(MSPM 01-002) were approved with the addition of Villas at Quantum Lake Those waivers were indicated on a list
on the site plan (see Exhibit "B" - Site Plan)
Quantum Lakes Drive is an existing local loop road off of Gateway Boulevard The right-of-way is basically a
semi-circular roadway that runs in a north-south direction The replat (Plat No 6 Replat No 1) created Lots 100
and 101 and abandoned Quantum Lake Drive in this area. The roadway now terminates at the entrance of the
proposed mulit-family development. The asphalt of the southbound portion of the roadway will be developed as
buildings and their respective driveway areas The southbound portion of the roadway will be maintained in its
current state to become the main drive-aisle for the project.
The plans showed the subject drive aisle proposed at 24 feet in width when the Villas at Quantum Lakes (MSPM

01-002) major site plan modification was approved The new waiver request was not advertised and the original
25-foot waiver was applied to the site plan addition The width (24 feet) is consistent with the internal drive aisles
for the other portions of the Villas at Quantum Lakes development currently under construction The Engineering
Division determined that the reduction in the drive-aisle width would have not have a negative impact on the
development.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends approval of the waiver request for the width of the drive-aisle for the Lot 101 addition to be
reduced from 27 feet to 24 feet.
