Ingress and egress to the subJect property and proposed structures thereon, WIth partIcular reference to automobIle and pedestrIan safety and convemence, traffic flow and control, and access m case of fire or catastrophe According to the survey, the property currently has two (2) points of ingress / egress (curb cuts), one on Boynton Beach Boulevard, the other along Northwest 1st Street. The subject property proposes one main point of ingress/egress The project intent is to close off the curb cut along Boynton Beach Boulevard and preserve the existing opening along Northwest Ft Street The driveway along Northwest Ft Street will be widened to 24 feet in order to comply with code. Afive (5) foot wide sidewalk exists along Boynton Beach Boulevard. This will be connected to the proposed sidewalk along Northwest Ft Street. This connection will be in keeping with the recommendations of the Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan. A traffic statement was submitted and sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for their review and approval The Palm Beach County Traffic Division determined that the project will generate 270 new average daily trips and meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County 2 Off-street parkIng and loadmg areas where reqUIred, WIth partIcular attentIOn to the Items m subsectIOn 1 above, and the economIC, glare, nOIse, and odor effects the condItional use Will have on adJacent and nearby propertIes, and the CIty as a whole lighthouse Academy - COUS 02-003 Page 3 Memorandum No PZ 02-131 The Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan recommends that parking for properties along the Boynton Beach Corridor between Interstate 95 and Seacrest Boulevard should be located to the rear of buildings, where possible. Although the proposed parking lot for the daycare facility will not be located at the rear of the building, it will be situated along Northwest Ft Street and not between the building and Boynton Beach Boulevard. This design partially meets the intent of the recommendation. The daycare facility requires an outdoor play area for the children. The outdoor play area will be located to the rear of the building The parking required for the daycare will be based on the ratio of one space for each 300 square feet of gross floor area. Since the building area is 5,032 square feet in area, a total of 17 parking spaces will be required. The plan provides a total of 18 parking spaces, one (1) of which, is designatedfor handicapped use. All parking spaces will be dimensioned at least nine (9) feet in width by 18 feet in length, except for the handicap spaces, which will be 12 feet in width by 20 feet in length. According to Chapter 2, Section II.H 16 c.4 , daycare centers are required to provide a provision for a convenient drop-off area adjacent to the building providing unobstructed ingress and egress Although most new facilities provide a porte- cochere for the drop-off area, the subject site land area is limited and so therefore, the plan provides two (2) spaces in front of the building that will serve this function. 3 Refuse and servIce areas, WIth partIcular reference to the Items m subsectIOn 1 and 2 above No dumpster enclosure is required or proposed for the subject project. The City Public Works Department determined that rollout containers would be an adequate method for trash removal. 4 UttlIttes, WIth reference to locatIOns, availabIlIty, and compatibIlIty Consistent with Comprehensive Plan policies and city regulations, all utilities, including potable water and sanitary sewer will be in place prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy 5 Screenmg, buffenng and landscapmg WIth reference to type, dImenSIOns, and character The project perimeters include a 7-foot wide landscape buffer strip along Boynton Beach Boulevard and Northwest Ft Street. The building is situated on-site to be as close to roadways as possible (in conformance with the Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan's recommendations) and to be as far away from the residential properties to the south. The north perimeter buffer (along Boynton Bach Boulevard) will contain Silver Buttonwood, Yellow Elder, and Dahoon Holly trees The groundcover will consist of Liriope, Wedelia, and Plumbago The buffer will also contain a row of Redtip Cocoplum hedges The swale along Boynton Beach Boulevard already contains Live Oak trees The landscape buffer along Northwest Ft Street will have Dahoon Holly, Silver Buttonwood, and Yellow Elder trees It will also have Redtip Cocoplum hedges, Plumbago, and Wedelia. According to Chapter 2, Section 4.L., a buffer wall is required along the southern property line to separate the commercial from the residential land uses The plan proposes a buffer wall six (6) feet in height within the southern perimeter buffer The wall will be painted on both sides to match the building It will be constructed prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy Staff recommends that the style of the buffer wall be enhanced with details such as cornices, columns, and multiple colors tones (Medium Gray and Indian Ivory) to match building colors (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval) The west and south perimeter landscape buffers will contain Live Oak, Satin Leaf, and Silver Buttonwood trees 6 SIgnS, and proposed extenor lIghtmg, WIth reference to glare, traffic safety, economIC effect, and compatibilIty and harmony WIth adJacent and nearby propertIes The maximum allowable wall signage area is based upon the linear frontage of the proposed daycare Lighthouse Academy - COUS 02-003 Page 4 Memorandum No PZ 02-131 buildmg The ratio is based upon ] V2 square feet of sign area for every one (]) foot of linear building frontage. Since the frontage of the building is 74 feet in length, the maximum allowable wall signage area is ]]] square feet. According to the elevations, one (]) wall sign is proposed on the north fm;ade. The elevations show the location of the proposed wall sign but do not indicate the sign type or colors. The elevations indicate that the sign will be ]] 0 square feet in area. The elevations show that the wall sign appears out of scale with the north building fafade. No sign material or sign colors were submitted with this application. Since this is unknown, staff recommends that the future sign type, color, and style be consistent with the Sign Guidelines of the Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). All signage must meet the requirements of Chapter 2] of the Land Development Regulations The plan proposes a freestanding monument sign to be located near the middle of the property line along Boynton Beach Boulevard. ]t will be placed at least ] 0 feet from the property line. According to the elevations, the monument sign face will be 48 square feet in area. As proposed, the monument sign will be eight (8) feet in height and be eight (8) feet in width. The elevations do not show the signjace type or colors of the monument sign. Since this is unknown, staff recommends that the future monument sign type, color, and style be consistent with the Sign Guidelines of the Vision 20/20 Master Plan. Also, staff recommends reducing the size of the monument sign and adding more architectural elements and detail to the sign. The lettering and color of the monument sign shall match the same of the wall sign (see Exhibit HC" - Conditions of Approval). The site address will be identified on each side of the monument sign. 7. ReqUIred setbacks and other open spaces. ]n general, the Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan endorses the urban concept of locating buildings closer to the property lines along rights-of-ways. The building is as close to the property lines along Boynton Beach Boulevard as allowed by setbacks requirements of the C-2 zoning district. Nearly half the site or ] ],833 square feet will be pervious area. 8. General compatibility with adjacent property and other property m the zoning dIstnct. ]n general, the proposed project is compatible with the existing commercial uses adjacent to the subject property. There will be minimal on-site impact and no adverse effects will occur because the proposed daycare use will operate during daytime hours. There will be little or no impact to the adjacent properties or to the general area. 9. Height of building and structures, with reference to compatibility and harmony to adJacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole. The Lighthouse Academy is designed as a one-story building with the top of the aluminum railing of the false tower to be 24 feet - 10 inches in height. The top of the parapet wall will be 2] feet - four (4) inches in height. The base of the roofline will be ]2 feet in height. The roof will be a blue color standing seam metal. The entire building, particularly the facades facing the rights-of-way, has been designed to enhance the overall appearance of the Boynton Beach Boulevard Corridor The exterior walls of this new structure will have smooth stucco finish and painted cream in color (Porter 6884-] Indian Ivory). The accents will be gray (Porter 7166-] Medium Gray). Lighthouse Academy - COUS 02-003 Page 5 Memorandum No PZ 02-131 As previously mentioned, this will be one of the first redevelopment projects along Boynton Beach Boulevard near the downtown. The building design / architectural style / signage of subsequent projects in / near the City's downtown area (and areas identified within the Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan area) could be influenced by the preferred attributes of this project. 10 Econoffilc effects on adjacent and nearby propertIes, and the CIty as a whole. As stated in the project summary, the subject property currently contains a singlelamily home. According to the Land Development Regulations, a singlelamily home is a non-conforming use in this commercial zoning district. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing house and replace it with a commercial daycare facility. Staff considers the conversion of uses (from resldentzal to commercial) as both necessary and desirable. The Vision 20/20 Redevelopment Master Plan endorses infill businesses along Boynton Beach Boulevard The daycare / preschool use will be the first such facility along the Boynton Beach Boulevard corridor The proposed use will constitute additional convenience and choice for residents of the City and neighboring residential subdivisions. 11. Conformance to the standards and requirements whIch apply to SIte plans, as set forth m Chapter 19, ArtIcle II of the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances. (Part III Chapter 4 SIte Plan ReVIew) With incorporation of staff comments, the proposed project will comply With all requirements of applicable sections of city code. 12. Compliance WIth, and abatement of nuisances and hazards in accordance with the performance standards within Section 4 of the zoning regulatIOns; also, conformance to the City of Boynton Beach Noise Control Ordinance. With incorporation of all conditions and staff recommendations contained herein, the proposed daycare / preschool use would operate in a manner that is in compliance with the above-referenced codes and ordinances of the City of Boynton Beach. In particular, the applicant will have to apply for and obtain all necessary approvals and licenses from all applicable governing bodies, including but not limited to the Palm Beach County Health Department and Florida State Department of Health, which are required for the day care / preschool operation. RECOMMENDA TION Based on the discussions contained herein, in compliance with all applicable development regulatIOns, and the conSIstency with the Comprehensive Plan, staff recommends that this request be approved subject to satisfying all conditions of approval as contamed in Exhibit "C". Furthermore, pursuant to Chapter 2 - Zonmg, Section 11.2 CondItIonal Uses, a tIme lImIt is to be set WIthin WhICh the proposed project IS to be developed. Staff recommends that a period of one (1) year be allowed to mitIate thIS project.

Rumpf, Director of Planning and Zoning DATE: May 2, 2002 LIGHTHOUSE ACADEMY - REVIEW COMMENTS CONDITIONAL USE I NEW SITE PLAN - 1 ST REVIEW FILE NO. COUS 02-003 FROM: Laurinda Logan, P.E., Civil Engine r RE: I have reviewed the above referenced Site Plans, forwarded to me on April 30, 2002, against the requirements outlined in the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances (available on-line at www.cLbovnton-beach.fl.us). Following are my comments with the appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations (LOR) referenced. PUBLIC WORKS Code Requirements ---- 1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse ENGINEERING / Code Requirements 1. Add a general note to the Site Plan that all plans submitted for specific permits shall meet the City's Code requirements at time of application. These permits include, but are not limited to, the following paving, drainage, curbing, site lighting, landscaping and irrigation Permits required from other permitting agencies such as Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT), South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Palm Beach County Health Department (PBCHD), Palm Beach County Engineering Department (PBCED), Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resource Management (PBCDERM) and any others, shall be included with the permit request. 2. Show all existing utilities on Site Development plan (LOR, Chapter 4, Section A.3). 3 A "Rider to Site Plan Application" shall be submitted with the permit application as specified in the LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.G. 4. Show the proposed site lighting on the Site plans (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) 5 Indicate, by note, that the light poles shall withstand a wind load of 140 mph (State Building Code). This may be shown at the time of permitting. 6 Replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b). 7. Provide a drainage plan in accordance with the requirements of the LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.F. 8. Provide an engineer's certification on the Drainage Plan as specified in LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7 F.2. 9. Indicate, by note, that catch basin and manhole covers shall be bicycle proof (LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5.A.2.f). 10.Add a four (4) foot sidewalk along local streets NW 1st Street (LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 10 T , and Chapter 22, Article I, Section 5). 11. Sidewalks adjacent to parking lots shall be continuous through all driveways and shall be 6 in. thick within driveways (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section P). 12.Add a note to the Landscape Plan that within the sight triangles there shall be an unobstructed cross-visibility at a level between 25' and 6' above the pavement (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H ) 13 On the Site and Civil plans, show and identify all necessary traffic control devices such as stop bars, stop signs, double yellow lane separators striping, directional arrows and "Do Not Enter" signage, etc. See City Standard Drawings B-98001 and B-90013 for striping details. Recommendations/Corrections 1. Indicate to what standard the project is to be constructed; if the FOOT Standard Specifications for Road & Bridge Construction and Standard Index are to be used - the 2000 Specifications are recommended since they contain both English and Metric units. 2. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets. 3. Reference FOOT Standard Index 546 for the sight triangles along all collector and arterial roadways. 4. Staff recommends relocating the Type "A" inlet located within the Playground to an area where it will not pose a hazard. 5 The architectural plan indicates two sets of columns supporting the covered entry - all other views indicate a single set of columns. Please clarify 6. Staff recommends relocating the handicap parking signs and drop-off signs to the back of the sidewalk, or attached to the covered entry to prevent vehicular conflict. 7. Staff believes it may be desirable to add cross-hatching and pavement messages for the dedicated drop-off spaces for clarity. 8. Staff makes the following observation regarding parking layout in front of the day school: Change the space #1 to a regular space, make spaces #2 and #4 drop-off spaces, and space #3 a handicap stall. With this configuration the children would generally have a 17 foot wide area to assemble and enter the building (assuming the handicap space is utilized infrequently). UTILITIES / Code Requirements 1 Water and sewer systems exist to service this project. 2. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g p.m. as stated in the LDR Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (see CODE Section 26-16(a)). In addition, the LDR Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points of the building will be within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants. 3 Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4 requires the conservation of potable water. City water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other sources are readily available LUck Cc: Jeff Livergood, P.E., Director, Public Works Pete Mazzella, Assistant to Director, Utilities H David Kelley, Jr., P.E.I P.S.M , Utility Engineer, Engineering Glenda Hall, Maintenance Supervisor, Parks Ken Hall, Engineering Plans Analyst, Engineering (via e-mail) File C:\My Documents\Lighthouse Academy, Condo Use, New Site Plan 1st Review.doc ~ ..
