Boynton Beach Blvd. Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 RE HIgh RIdge Commerce Park No 2 - a.k.a.

Mr MIChael Rumpf October 16, 2002 Page 2 Justification for Request It IS Important to note that the tenant mIX whIch wIll be targeted for thIS project wIll be less mtensIve uses than typIcally located in industrial projects ThIs IS supported by the fact that the bays are bemg desIgn smaller m SIze (approXimately 2,000 sq ft:) In addItIOn, these uses wIll not have large trucks or semI trailers makmg deltveries to the project, as these bays will not be used as loadmg docks_ It IS antICIpated that only 'panel' trucks WIll be servIcmg the busmesses and the bay doors \\111 only be used to access the bays for inventory or eqUIpment storage The bay doors have been recessed approXImately fIve feet from the front of the buildmg and will blend mto the facade as they WIll be the same color as the buildmg. The facade of the proposed buildmg have been deSIgned to draw the eye's attentIon away from the bay doors. Slatted 'Key West' type awmngs have been designed for the wmdows and archItectural elements have been added to the mam pedestnan entnes facmg HIgh RIdge Road. SectIOn J ofthe aforementioned code sectIOn states that the restriction of not allowmg the bay doors to face High RIdge Road IS based upon the hIgh degree OfVISibIhty ofthe bUIldmgs located on HIgh RIdge, and the fact that most of the roadways mentIOned m the sectIOn are conSIdered entrances to the City This sectIOn of HIgh Ridge Road should be conSIdered more of a collector road, rather than an entrance road mto the City Access to thIS sectIOn of HIgh RIdge IS eIther from Gateway Boulevard, or from Congress Avenue VIa Mmer Road. However, the enhanced archItectural facade of the bUIldmgs wIll nevertheless prOVIde an aesthetIcally pleasmg prOject facmg HIgh RIdge Road. Therefore, we respectfully request that this appeal to the Commumty DeSIgn Plan be granted, due to the nhanced facade's deSIgn elements, the Immmal number and SIzes of bay doors, and the absen of truck wells, loadmg docks, and parkmg semI tractor trmlers. .
