I I I I I Section 1 Executive Summary January, 2004 Boynton De/ray Academy Executive Summary Executive Summary Boynton Delray Academy proposes to develop currently vacant land on the east side of Railroad A venue between NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King Boulevard) and NE 11 th A venue in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. The proposed middle school will serve a maximum of 125 students and will be accessible by a site-access driveway (no egress) located on NE 11 th A venue and a site-egress driveway on Railroad Avenue. A total of 58 weekday AM peak hour trips and 20 weekday PM peak hour trips will be generated by Boynton Delray Academy. The radius of influence is 1 mile. The findings of this study are summarized below. ummary 0 mpae 0 oynton e ray , ea emy Assigned Project Year 2003 conditions Trips Are assigned Capacity Percent project trips Facility Time of Direction of (Pk hr one- ot more than 1 % Roadway Links Type Day Travel Volume way) Trips Capacity ot LOS D?

Traffic Performance Standards. There are no roadway links on Federal Highway and Seacrest Boulevard with assigned trips more than one percent of the level of service D threshold volume. This implies that the impacts are minor and additional analysis for Test 1 is not necessary. Additionally, there are no roadway links in the study area with traffic volumes that exceed the adopted level of service volume and therefore there are no roadway links that fail Model Test 2 in the study area. The access and egress locations to Boynton Delray Academy are planned to be located on local streets such that no stacking or queuing is anticipated to impact Federal Highway or Seacrest Boulevard. Based on the results of this study, the proposed middle school can be developed while maintaining acceptable traffic operations at the study intersections and roadway links within the site vicinity. No mitigation measures are required. Additional details of the study methodology, findings, and recommendations are provided within this report. Greenhome & O'Mara, /nc, 2 I, . I I I I I I I I Section 2 Introduction I I January, 2004 Boynton Delray Academy Introduction Introduction I PROJECT DESCRIPTION Boynton Delray Academy is proposed to be a middle school on the west side of Railroad A venue and between NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King Boulevard) and NE 11 th A venue in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. The site, whose location is illustrated in Figure 1, is currently vacant. Construction of the proposed school is scheduled to begin in the Summer of 2004, with full build- out of the site occurring in the year 2005. Figure 2 illustrates the proposed site plan. I I SCOPEOFTHEREPORT This analysis determines the transportation-related impacts associated with the proposed middle school and was prepared in accordance with Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards requirements. The study links and overall study area for this project were selected based on a review of the local transportation system and based on Palm Beach County's Traffic Performance Standards. Roadway links examined are: · North Seacrest Boulevard from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Boynton Beach Canal; · Federal Highway (US 1) from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Boynton Beach Canal. · Boynton Beach Boulevard from Federal Highway (US 1) to North Seacrest Boulevard. This report addresses the following transportation issues: · Year 2003 existing land use and transportation system conditions within the site vicinity · Forecast year 2005 background traffic conditions during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak peri ods · Trip generation and distribution estimates for the proposed development · Forecast year 2005 total traffic conditions with full build-out of the site during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak periods · Queuing or stacking issues at drop-off and pick-up location at proposed school · Conclusions and recommendations.

The purpose of this section is to set the stage for a basis of comparison to future conditions including the proposed project. The site of the proposed Boynton Delray Academy was visited and inventoried on December 4, 2003. During that visit, information was collected regarding site conditions, adjacent land uses, . existing traffic operations, and transportation facilities in the study area. SITE CONDITIONS AND ADJACENT LAND USES The proposed school site is located in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. The site is currently vacant and is bordered by NE 11 th A venue to the north, NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King Boulevard) to the south, Railroad A venue to the east and vacant land to the west. There are commercial establishments along Martin Luther King Boulevard (NE 10th A venue) while NE 11 th A venue is mostly a residential area. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES Roadway Facilities As indicated in Figure 1, the study site is located close to two major roadway facilities, North Scacrest Boulevard and Federal Highway (US 1). Primary access to the site will be provided via NE 11th A venue. Near the site. Scacrest Boulevard is a five-lane Palm Beach County roadway with a posted speed limit of 3S miles per hour. Federal Highway is a major four-lane divided arterial operated and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The posted speed limit on Federal Highway is 35 mph in the vicinity of NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King Boulevard). :'tt 10th A venue (\;1artin Luther King Boulevard) is classified as a City Collector. NE loth A venue (Martin Luther King Boulevard) is a 2-lane undivided roadway with parking allowed on both sides of the roadway. NE 11 th A venue and Railroad A venue are 2-lane local streets providing access to residential areas.

Some supporting pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure has been provided. Sidewalks are available along Seacrest Boulevard, NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King Bouleavrd) and Federal Highway (US 1). No bike lanes or sidewalks are currently provided on NE 11 th A venue and Railroad A venue. Federal Highway (US 1) is the only roadway in the study area that includes bike lanes. Transit Facilities Bus service is currently provided along Seacrest Boulevard and on Federal Highway (US 1). The following PalmTran bus routes provide service within the general site vicinity: Route 70: Provides service between the Lantana and Delray Beach along Seacrest Boulevard. Service is provided on weekdays during peak periods at approximately 30- minute headways and during off-peak daytime hours at approximately 60-minute headways. Route 1: Provides service between the Gardens Mall in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton along Federal Highway (US 1). This route provides service during weekday peak hour time periods at approximately 20-minute headways (Reference 1). TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND PEAK HOUR OPERATIONS Traffic count data compiled by Palm Beach County was used for this study. Palm Beach County traffic count site 5302 is located on Seacrest Boulevard about 970 feet north of Boynton Beach Boulevard. Palm Beach County traffic count site 5304 is located on Federal Highway (US 1) about 200 feet south of the Boynton Canal bridge. Additionally, Palm Beach County's Intersection Count List (as of 7/21/2003) includes the two study intersections and was counted on August 21, 2002. The data contained approach traffic volumes counts summarized for the 24 hour period. To obtain peak hour east and west approach counts. we assumed that the a.m. peak hour volume would be approximately 12 percent of the daily east and west approach volume and that the p.m. peak hour volume would be approximately 15 percent of the daily east and west approach volume. It should be noted that this same summary contains peak hour volume for the entire intersection (all four approaches taken together) that results in peak to daily ratios between seven and nine percent. All traffic counts were adjusted to reflect peak season conditions if the count was not taken during the peak season. These traffic counts are summarized in Figures 4 and 5. Appendi.l. "A" contains the traffic count sheets used in this study. Current Levels of Service All level-of-service analyses described in this report were performed in accordance with the procedures stated in the Article 15: Traffic Perfonnance Standards (TPS) of the Land Development Code of Palm Beach County, Florida as revised on 03/31/3003. The TPS requires both intersections and links to be examined during peak hours of weekday traffic activity. Traffic conditions during all other weekday hours will likely operate under better conditions than those described in this report. Greenhorns & O'Mara, fnc. 10 I I ~z I , , . , .

Intersection analyses in this report are based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 1985 Planning Methodology (Critical Movement Analysis - CMA). Palm Beach County's TPS requires that intersections operate below the threshold of 1400 vehicles per hour as a critical volume. For the purposes of this study, it was assumed that if a given intersection operated below the ~ threshold critical volume of 1400 vehicles per hour, Palm Beach County's TPS peak hour standard was met and no additional analysis was required.

The impact of traffic generated by the proposed middle school during typical weekday a.m, and p.m. peak hours was examined as follows: · Programmed transportation improvements In the site vicinity were identified and reviewed; · Background weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic conditions for the year 2005 were analyzed. An annual compounded growth rate was applied to existing traffic volumes to account for regional growth in the site vicinity; · Future daily, morning peak hour, and evening peak hour site-generated trips were estimated for build-out of the site; · A trip distribution pattern was derived through a review of existing traffic volumes, local transportation facilities, and the anticipated market area of the proposed school; · Predicted site-generated traffic from Boynton Delray Academy was added to the background traffic volumes to evaluate total traffic operations at the study area intersections during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours: and · The need for any mitigation was evaluated. 2005 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS The background traffic analysis identifies how the study area's transportation system will operate in the year the proposed middle school is expected to open. This analysis includes traffic growth due to development within the study area and from general growth in the region, but does not include traffic from the proposed school development. Programmed Transportation Improvements As part of this analysis, Greenhorne & 0' Mara, Inc. reviewed programmed transportation improvements in Palm Beach County. There are no programmed transportation capacity improvements planned in the project ~icinity before the build-out year of Boynton Delray Academy. The City of Boynton Beach, however, plans to reconfigure Railroad A venue in the study area such that Railroad A venue between NE 11 th A venue and NE 10th A venue (J\1LK Blvd.) is made ONE-W A Y southbound. Additionally, Railroad Avenue south of NE 10th Avenue (1vfLK Blvd.) would be made ONE-WAY with northbound movement towards NE 10th Avenue (?v1LK Blvd.) being the only possible direction of traffic flow. Figure 6 illustrates the lane configurations and traffic control devices assumed to be in place at the study intersections at project build-out. Traffic Volumes Year 2005 background traffic volumes were developed to account for anticipated growth in the study area, The compound growth rate specified by Palm Beach County for Seacrest Boulevard north of Boynton Beach Boulevard is 3,23 percent per year, The compound growth rate for the subject link of Federal Highway (US 1) was not available from Palm Beach County and was calculated using trend analysis and traffic volumes from year 1998 to 2001. This calculated January, 2004 Boynton Delray Academy Traffic Impact Analysis compound traffic growth rate was 1.21 percent with a trend R-squared statistic of 86.9 percent. The compounded annual growth rates were applied to the existing 2003 traffic volumes to account for' near-term traffic growth in the area. Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the resulting forecast year 2005 background traffic volumes. It should be noted that the compound growth rate tables provided by Palm Beach County indicates a negative growth rate for Boynton Beach Boulevard west of Federal Highway (US 1), We assumed a nominal growth rate of 0.5 percent for this segment in our analysis. Level-of-Service Analysis Using the weekday a,m. and p.m, peak hour turning movement volumes shown in Figures 7 and 8, a Critical Movement analysis was conducted at each study intersection to determine the 2005 background traffic levels of service. As indicated by the two respective figures, the background traffic analysis determined that both the study intersections are forecast to operate with acceptable levels of service during both the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak periods. A summary of both Test One and Test Two analysis following the requirements of Palm Beach County's TPS is provided below.

Approximately 16 parking spaces are planned for the school site. The site is proposed to have one site-access driveway on NE 11th A venue and one site-egress driveway located on Railroad A venue. TRIP GENERATION Estimates of daily, weekday a.m., and weekday p.m. peak hour vehicle trip ends for the proposed Boynton Delray Academy were developed based on empirical observations. These observations are summarized in the standard reference Trip Generation, 6ch Edition, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (Reference 4). Table 2 summarizes the estimated site trip generation during a typical weekday as well as during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

RADIUS OF INFLUENCE The maximum radius of development influence is based on the number of net external peak hour, two-way trips generated by the proposed development. The Test One maximum radius of influence .during the a.m. peak hour is one mile (1 mile) as Boynton Delray Academy generates 58 net external a.m. peak hour two-way trips. During the p.m, peak hour Boynton Delray Academy generates 20 external p.m. peak hour two-way trips resulting in a radius of influence that is limited to the first accessed major thoroughfare which is Federal Highway (US 1). The Test Two maximum radius of influence for Boynton Delray Academy is limited to the first accessed major thoroughfare (Federal Highway). It should be noted that Boynton Delray Academy generates less than three percent (3%) of the Level of Service E threshold volume of Federal Highway (US 1) on an ADT basis. TRIP DISTRIBUTION The distribution of site-generated trips onto the study area roadway system was estimated based on a review of existing turning movement patterns in the vicinity of the site and the anticipated market area of the site. The estimated trip distribution is illustrated in Figure 9. Based on the estimated trip distribution pattern, Figures 10 and 11 show the assignment of the site-generated traffic during the weekday a,m. and p,m. peak hours, respectively.

The 2005 background traffic volumes for the weekday a,m. and p,m. peak hours shown in Figures 7 and 8 were added to the site- generated traffic shown in Figures 10 and 11 to arrive at the total traffic volumes shown in Figures 12 and 13. I I Intersection and Roadway Links Levels of Service Figures 12 and 13 provide a summary of the forecast total traffic conditions associated with full . build-out of the proposed development. A summary of the total trips on each link is provided in Table 3. As is evident from Table 3, the assigned project trips are less than one percent (1 %) of the level of service D threshold volumes. The assigned traffic volume on Boynton Beach Boulevard (which falls within the one mile radius of influence) will also be less than one percent (1 %) of the level of service D threshold of 1,850 peak hour one-way vehicles. Since all roadway links have less than one percent (1 %) of the level of service D volumes assigned on them, the Traffic Performance Standards do nor require any additional analysis. As indicated in the respective figures and Table 3, this analysis determined that all study links are forecast to operate at levels of service B during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The need for mitigation does not arise. Additionally, there are no roadway links in the project vicinity that fail Model Test 2 (exceed the adopted level of service).

Site Access Queuing and Stacking: Queuing or vehicle stacking is a special concern at schools as peak traffic arrives and departs within a concentrated and specific time (usually up to 20 minutes long) when school starts and again at school release time, The access driveway to Boynton Delray Academy is on NE 11 th A venue, a local street. Any queuing or vehicle stacking during student drop-off and pick-up time that spills out of the school site can be expected to be contained on NE 11th A venue and not impact Seacrest Boulevard or Federal Highway (US 1), r,rt:lt:ln;,nmR ~ n'MtuJ> /,.,,.

Year 2005 Background Traffic Conditions · There are no transportation capacity improvements programmed in the study area before year :2005, the proposed school build-out year. · The City of Boynton Beach is reconfiguring Railroad A venue in the project vicinity such that o Railroad A venue between NE 11th A venue and NE 10th A venue (NILK Blvd.) will be one-way southbound. o Railroad A venue south of NE 10th A venue will be one-way nonhbound. · Y car 2005 background conditions (without development of the proposed school) were estimated assuming continued local and regional growth. Operational analyses indicate that all study links and intersections are forecast to operate within acceptable operating standards during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. Proposed Development Activities · The proposed development, a middle school with 125 students, is estimated to generate approximately 182 net new daily trip ends, of which approximately 58 trip ends will occur during the weekday a.m. peak hour and 20 trip ends will occur during the p.m. peak hour. Since the peak hour trip ends in the morning exceeds 20, a complete traffic impact study as document~d herein is necessary under Palm Beach County's Traffic Perfonnance Standards. . · Access to the site is proposed via a single site-access driveway located on NE 11th A venue. A single site-egress driveway will be located on Railroad A venue which connects to Nt loth Avenue (Martin Luther King Boulevard). NE 11th Avenue and Railroad A venue are local roadways providing access to largely residential conununities. Year 2005 Total Traffic Conditions: · Under forecast year 2005 total traffic conditions (with the proposed school), all the study links are forecast to function within acceptable operating standards during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. · Project trips assigned to Federal Highway and Seacrest Boulevard are less than one percent (1 %) of their respective LOS D threshold volumes, According to Palm Beach Greenhorne & O'Mara, Inc. 32 January, 2004 Boynton Deltay Academy Conclusions County's Traffic Performance standards this implies that these roadways operate adequately and no further analysis is to be done other than "Model Test 2". · There are no roadway links in the study vicinity with traffic volumes that exceed the adopted level of service. This project passes Model Test 2. · Queuing or vehicle stacking during student drop-off and pick-up that spills back from the school site can be expected to be contained on NE 11 th A venue and not impact Seacrest Boulevard or Federal Highway (US 1). CONCLUSION · Boynton Delray Academy can be developed at the proposed site with no negative impacts on the surrounding transportation system. No mitigation measures are necessary.

The cupola over the main entrance cupola is not proportional (i.e. to small). Perhaps adding more width and height. 2. More windows should be added to provide a more balanced appearance. 3. Window style on tower should be similar to main building, (i.e. replace round windows with the proposed shutters on bottom floor. Bottom windows should be replaced with the typical windows used on main building. 4. Perspective of tower should be drawn correctly because it could lead to misinterpretations on height and size. Size may need increasing to match scale of building. 5. More attention should be placed on the main entrance. The building is very horizontal, perhaps adding arches to main entrance porch. There should be more craftsmanship on the architectural details. North Elevation 1:. More windows should be added to this elevation, Window location should align in all elevations. 2. Main entrance doors should align on both north and south elevations. 1. Entrance should be enhanced with architectural detail. Should resemble main entrance at a smaller scale, 4. Perspective of tower should be drawn correctly because it could lead to misinterpretations on height and size. Size may need increasing to match scale of building. 2" Window style on tower should be similar to main building, (i.e. replace round windows with the proposed shutters on bottom floor. Bottom windows should be replaced with the typical windows used on main building, 6. The ramp entrance should be enhanced with some type of architectural feature West Elevation 1, Improve elevation by enhancing the entrance on this side such ad double doors. 2. Perspective of tower should be drawn correctly because it could lead to misinterpretations on height and size. Size may need increasing to match scale of building. 3. Vertical banding proposed on the north and south elevation should be included in all sides of the building. East Elevation 1, Tower should be drawn correctly, It should not be drawn in perspective. 2. Vertical banding proposed on the north and south elevation should be included in all sides of the building. 3. Window style on tower should be similar to main building, (i.e. replace round windows with the proposed shutters on bottom floor. Bottom windows should be replaced with the typical windows used on main building. 4. Tower feature should be the tallest element. The cupola in main building should be second tallest feature. 5. Window location should align in all elevations, 6. The material used for the space beneath the unit should match the material used on the building fayade. Do not expose space beneath unit. The proposed building should maximize compatibility with the built environment. Materials used should be similar to the surrounding area. r'~~~~~~;~f'~~';I~1~i~t~f~~~~~4i)f~?:(j.~!7., ,:';, :~;,J~,": , ~~' , il"'" ",I:;:?::~:(~~~~~~~~~~t~F\~~ ' j;} ~ r:/) o c: -- ::r' t!1 - CD <: ~ -- _. o - .....
