Monahan & Monahan
File No. MMSP 02-069
DATE:
Per your request I have made a second review of the above referenced plans forwarded to me on
December 27,2002 regarding the proposed minor modification to the site plan for Monahan & Monahan
at the intersection of Boynton Beach Boulevard and NW 7th Court.
We have no objections to the proposed modifications. The enclosed 1st review comments were signed
off on as appropriate. The foliowing items remain to be addressed:
o At the time of permitting indicate to what standard the project is to be constructed; if the FDOT
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.
o Correct discrepancy between water service sizes on Sheet C-1 (5/8" or 1") at the time of permitting.
Show irrigation meter.
Please let me know if you or the applicant have any questions, or if I can be of further assistance.

Re: REQUEST FOR MINOR MODIFICATION
FOR MONAHAN & MONAHAN OFFICE BUILDING
."",:.
This proposed office building has already been approved by the city commission. We
now want to make a minor modification to the original plans. Mr. Monahan recently met
with the engineer, Lurinda Logan and planning and zoning representative Jose Alfaro
and discussed a minor modification of the proposed building. They both stated that this
modification would be acceptable to them We realize that their acceptance of the
modifications is not binding. However, this modification makes the most sense for the
creation of the best overall office building, not only for the law firm, but for the City of
Boynton Beach as well.
We are requesting this modification, due to the fact that there is not enough space to
adequately place the handicapped parking space adjacent to the west side of the
property, without a variance. The original plans incorporated a notch in the actual
building, so as to allow the handicapped parking space. This notch distorts the
building's character. However, our proposed minor modification does away with the
notch and makes the building unified. Mr. Monahan was unhappy with the original
proposal, due to the displeasing aesthetics. As a law office image is very important, not
only to the legal community, but to future clients of the firm. This new minor modification
solves all the problems. The west side of the building will now be more pleasing to the
eye, the handicapped parking spot is located across the parking lot, closest to the
entrance, a regular parking space takes the place of the handicapped spot due to the set
backs. We feel this minor modification is better for the design of the building, for the law
firm and for the city.
Therefore, we request that you grant this minor modification. Please contact Mr.
Monahan or myself directly with any questions Mr. Monahan's telephone number is'
561-742-'1575. Thank you.
Kindest Regards,
