Just an FYI to prevent you both from feeling in the dark when you return.
This is a minor mod pre-app. I covered. They are simply moving handicapped spaces which have been incrementally
added over several years. Even though these hc spaces are there now, from the original site plan, this change will appear
to reduce the regular spaces by 12. They would also add walkways in the front of the spaces (in the landscape buffer) but
I told them to maintain a minimum of 2 1/2 feet.
Their original plan showed that 76 required spaces are taken from the hospital site. I said that we'd need something from
the hospital documenting the continued agreement, providing an additional 12 spaces to offset the loss, and verifying the
continued good-standing relationship between the two parties to ensure the parking sources still exist.
A minor mod. app. is expected. J hope all agree. MR.

Re. Request for Minor Site Plan Modification - Bethesda Building Partnership
Handicap Parking
Dear Michael:
Thank you for taking the time recently to meet with me and others representing the
Bethesda Building Partnership We are requesting a minor site plan modification for the
Bethesda Plaza Building at 2623 South Seacrest Boulevard (the "Building"), so as to
accommodate a relocation and improvement of handicap parking.
Attached to this correspondence is a site plan showing the current configuration of
handicap parking ( Exhibit "A") You will note that we have six (6) handicap spaces facing
26th Avenue and six (6) handicap spaces on the east side of the building. In addition, we
have four (4) handicap spaces on the north side of the building. The concern is that, with
regard to the twelve (12) handicap spaces on 26th Avenue and the east side of the
building, our handicap patients are required to pass behind parked vehicles in order to
access the Building.
This type of configuration conflicts with the latest version of the ADA rules. To
correct this situation, we would like to place all handicap spaces on the north side of the
Building, as provided in Exhibit "B" and construct sidewalks in front of these spaces. This
will enable our handicap patients to exit their vehicles and proceed to the Building without
having to pass behind other vehicles in their wheelchairs, In addition, these spaces will
be configured to comply with new ADA requirements, providing for wider spaces.
According to our contractor and parking consultant, Kilbourne & Sons, the following
specific actions will take place in order to accomplish the above-referenced objectives:

1 Sealcoat all existing handicap areas and walkways. Re-stripe to meet the
requirements of normal car spaces.
2. Remove existing handicap signs and posts. Reinstall in new locations.
3 Remove existing D-curb in two areas where handicap spaces will be
relocated.
4 Supply and install new concrete sidewalks, min. of 44", to meet ADA Code.
5 Seal areas where normal spaces currently exist. Layout and paint new
handicap spaces and walks.
6 Secure permits for above work.
You have asked me to comment on the impact of this plan modification on parking
space calculations. According to the 3/19/87 Site Plan for the Building, 200 spaces were
provided on site and 76 spaces were provided off site, for a net total of 276 spaces. Under
the revised plan, the number of on site spaces will be reduced to 188 total (a net reduction
of 12 spaces on site) However, the Hospital has agreed to make an additional 12 spaces
available for Building usage.
Under the code, the Hospital is in a position to make this additional contribution of
spaces. Reviewing the site data from the recent plans for hospital expansion and
renovation, I note that a total of 793 spaces are required under the code, while a total of
1,183 spaces are provided by the Hospital. Thus, according to code requirements, a
significant number of excess spaces are available for this purpose.
The Building is owned by the Bethesda Building Partnership, which Partnership is
owned 70% by the Hospital and 30% by physician members of the Hospital medical staff
I represent both the Hospital and the Partnership, I have consulted with both clients and
have been authorized by both to make the representations contained herein.
In reviewing my notes, I identified one other issue which you asked me to address
in this letter; i.e., the code requirement for a 2-1/2 foot landscape buffer on the north side
of the property between the site and an adjacent residential area. A recently obtained
survey verified there is sufficient space available to install a new concrete sidewalk with a
minimum width of 44", as required to meet the ADA Code, while still permitting compliance
with the 2-1/2 foot landscape buffer requirement.

Attached to this letter, please find four (4) sets of revised drawings (Exhibit "B") and
a check in the amount of $100 00 made payable to the City of Boynton Beach as our

If you have any questions or comments, or require anything further for consideration
of this request, please do not hesitate to call. Once, again, thank you for your time and
consideration of this request.
