Suite B-38 3350 N.W. Boca Raton Boulevard Boca Raton, Florida 33431 Via FAX: (561) 997-5721 Re: Driveway Widths Woolbright Plaza Dear Mr. Tompkins: This office is in receipt of your June 27, 2003 letter, received via facsimile on the same date. Your concern was your proposed 40- foot driveway opening on the 'current' engineering plans versus "(code calls for 32 feet of width)", requesting a consideration for the greater width. On the last City Commission approved plan (COUS 01-007 - 3rd Review) dated March 5, 2002, the driveway approaches on both Congress Avenue and Woolbright Road were shown as 32 feet wide (at the right-of-way line). Am I led to believe that you have submitted another site plan for approval reflecting 40- foot wide approaches? None has crossed my desk in regards to this question. However, having said that, I refer you to our new Engineering Design Criteria Handbook and Construction Standards, dated February, 2003, and issued commencing on April 14, 2003, Chapter 4, Section Vill, Paragraph B.3, which states as follows: "Commercial Driveways: Unless otherwise specified herein, or by prior approval from the City Engineer for alternative design, driveways shall be constructed in accordance with FDOT Standard Index No. 515 or 516, as applicable. Dimensions at the right-of-way line shall comply with the minimum widths set forth in LDR, Chapter 6 (Required Improvements), Article IV (Design Requirements for Required Improvements), Sec. 1, and Standard Drawing #K-16." In reviewingFDOT Standard Index No. 515. and our Standard Drawing#K-16, the connection width (for the ADT of2000 - 4000 trips/day or 200 - 400 trips/hour) on a two-way roadway would be 26' minimum and 40' maximum. Thus. I believe your request for a 40-foot throat opening would be permissible if the roadway traffic is at this threshold. Americas Gateway to the Gulfstrel1m ... HPT Consultants, Inc., Attention: H.P. Tompkins, Jr., P.E. Re: Woolbright Plaza, Driveway Widths June 30, 2003 Page 2 Your letter did not specify on which roadway this proposed driveway opening is located. Please be advised that both Congress Avenue and Woolbright Road are owned and maintained by Palm Beach County, thus a driveway permit (change) will be required from that agency. In addition, please submit a copy of the revised site plan to my attention. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please advise me. Sincerely, ~Q:Ml'c1~ H. David Kelley, Jr., P.

ENVIRONMENTAL May 19, 2003 Ms. Lusia Galav City of Boynton Beach Department of Development Planning and Zoning Division 100 East Boynton Beach Blvd. Boynton Beach, Florida 33425-0310 RE: Woolbright Plaza Dear Lusia, Pursuant to our meeting, please accept this letter as a formal request for a minor site plan revision. The revisions made were to add windows to the west elevation of the one story commercial building; move the drive thru approximately 20 feet to the west in order to line up with the interior floor plan as to the location of the pharmacy; remove the wheel stops from the parking area directly east of the main entrance of the Walgreens, as this is considered to be a tripping hazard; and to make the entrances 40 feet in width to better facilitate the ingress / egress for the delivery vehicles and to request the height of the sign to be twenty feet as originally shown on the site plan. As per your suggestion we have tried to design the sign to match the "Jarods" sign as close as possible. I have enclosed four copies of the revised site plan along with the supporting architectural drawings. I have enclosed the $100.00 check for this request. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact me at 561-998-0955. Sincerely, H. P. Tompkins, Jr. Principal-in-charge r Q n ~ ~ [<: [' WI r~ f:'n ~.!
