South:
Undeveloped property classified with Industrial (I) land use and zoned
Light Industrial (M-l);
East:
Right-of-way for Interstate 95, then farther east is developed residential
property classified with Low Density Residential (LOR) land use and zoned
Single-family Residential (R-l-A); and
West:
Right-of-way for C.S.X. Railroad tracks, and then farther west are
properties with varying land use classifications and zoning districts.
Northwest of the C.S.X Railroad tracks are developed residential properties
classified with Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use and zoned
Duplex Residential (R-2). Southwest of the C.S.X. Railroad tracks is a
storm-water retention area for Industrial Park, classified with High Density
Residential (HDR) land use, and zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD).
Site Characteristic: According to the survey, the subject site was previously developed and licensed for
a fence company (Bulldog Fence) and a welding / manufacturing business (Four
Steel Corporation) but now it sits vacant. The survey indicates the property is an
irregularly-shaped decagon, nestled between the C.S.X Railroad tracks (to the
west) and Interstate 95 (to the east). The east and west property lines, which
form the "length" of the site, are much longer than the north and south boundaries
(width). Also, the width of the south property line is shorter (less deep) than the
north end, which further exposes the difficulty in developing the site to current
design standards. The survey indicates that an existing Cracker Barrel billboard
sign is located along the east property line, near the middle of the site. Also, an
existing cell tower is located along the east property line approximately 270 feet
south of West Ocean Avenue. Neither the billboard nor the cell tower would be
removed or relocated as a result of the proposed development. According to the
applicant, the lease of the sign commenced on June 1, 1996 and will not expire for
another 30 years. The cell tower least started on November 24, 1999 and will not
expire until 2036.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
Mr. Crockett Farnell, representing Boynton Industrial, LLC is requesting site plan
approval for the construction of three (3) office / warehouse buildings totaling
133,911 square feet on the 6.77-acre parcel. As previously mentioned, the subject
parcel is comprised of several lots and previously developed with a fence company
and welding / manufacturing business. The intent is to combine all lots, raze each
structure, and construct new buildings and parking areas. Although the site is
located in an isolated area of the City, it is afforded much exposure and visibility
due to its close proximity to Interstate 95. It is the developer's intent to have the
buildings ready for occupancy by January 2008.
Concurrency:
ANALYSIS
Traffic:
A Traffic Impact Analysis was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for
concurrency review in order to ensure an adequate level of servic,
2006, the Palm Beach County Traffic Division responded with sev
that the applicant needed to address in order for them to ma~
determination. On August 22, 2006, the applicant submitted a n
that was sent to the Traffic Division. However, as of the date of this report, the
Traffic Division has not yet confirmed that the project meets the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Therefore, this confirmation will be
required prior to the issuance of any building permits (see Exhibit "Cft - Conditions
of Approval).

Utilities:
The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million
gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the
projected potable water for this project (project estimated to require a total of
17,000 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be
required, especially on the water delivery system for the project, depending upon
the final project configuration and fire-flow demands. These local improvements
would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be reviewed at the
time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is
currently available to serve the projected total of 17,000 gallons per day, subject to
the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following approval of the site
plan (see Exhibit "Cft - Conditions of Approval).
Police/Fire: Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be
sufficient to meet the expected demand for services.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review. All South Florida Water Management District permits and other
drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit (see Exhibit
"Cft - Conditions of Approval).
School: School concurrency is not required for this type of project.
Driveways: The site plan (Sheet A-D. 1) shows that one (1) point of ingress/egress is proposed
for the project. The driveway opening would occur at the northeast corner of the
parcel, which would connect to the terminus of West Ocean Avenue. This opening
would be 30 feet in width. The site is situated in such a way that it can only have
one (1) point of ingress / egress. While it would be preferable to have a second
point of egress, additional driveway openings would require the developer to
connect to the existing rights-of-way located on the opposite side of the railroad
tracks, which would require additional railroad crossings.
Parking Facility: According to the Land Development Regulations, the parking methodologies for
office / warehouse uses are based upon the following: One (1) parking space per
300 square feet of gross floor area (for the office) and one (1) parking space per
800 square feet of gross floor area (for the warehouse space). The cover sheet
tabular data (Sheet A-D) C3) proposes 23,296 square feet of office space and
Staff Report - Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza (NWSP 06-020)
Memorandum No PZ 06-175
Page 4
110,615 square feet of warehouse space, which requires a total of 217 parking
spaces. The site plan depicts 219 parking spaces, including 10 designated for
handicap use. Therefore, there would be two (2) excess parking spaces provided
for the entire development.
All spaces, excluding the handicap spaces, would be dimensioned 9 feet - six (6)
inches in width and 18 feet - six (6) inches in length. All proposed parking stalls,
including the size and location of the handicap spaces were reviewed and approved
by both the Engineering Division and Building Division.
landscaping:
The site currently contains two (2) Sabal palm and five (5) Live Oak trees. The
developer will be required to relocate the Sabal palm tree (on-site) and re-evaluate
the health of the Live Oaks (for possible relocation). According to the cover sheet
tabular data, the proposed open space or "pervious" area would be 54,183 square
feet or 18.4% of the total parcel. The Plant List (Sheet L -3) indicates that 84 or
58% of the 145 palm trees and 141 (85%) of the 166 palm trees would be native.
The landscape data indicates that 99% of the shrubs would also be native. The
landscape plan would provide the following species of trees: Alexander, Double-
Alexander, Black Bamboo, Sabal, Green Buttonwood, Silver Buttonwood, East
Palatka Holly, Eastern Red Cedar, Crape Myrtle, Live Oak, Bald Cypress, and Yellow
Elder.
The site plan shows that a lO-foot wide landscape buffer is proposed along the
north property line, adjacent to West Ocean Avenue. This buffer would contain
Live Oak, Yellow Elder, Redtip Cocoplum, Croton, and Green Island. The east
landscape buffer proposed along Interstate 95 would be three (3) feet in width at
its narrowest point and contain an array of plant material, consisting of the
following species: Eastern Red Cedar, East Palatka Holly, clusters of Sabal palm,
Redtip Cocoplum, and Fakahatchee Grass. The existing fence around the cell tower
would have Redtip Cocoplum installed along its base. The elevation plan along
Interstate 95 (Sheet L-4) illustrates how the landscaping would "soften" and
"break-up" the building expanse. The site plan indicates that the south landscape
buffer would be at least five (5) feet in width at its narrowest point. It would have
a cluster of Sabal palm trees installed at the southeast corner of the property.
Also, a row of Silver Buttonwood trees would be installed along this 76-foot long
stretch. The west landscape buffer, proposed along the C.S.X. Railroad tracks
would generally be 10 feet in width. This buffer would be the one that screens the
office / warehouse buildings from the residential neighborhood west of the railroad
tracks. It should be noted that a portion of the west landscape buffer is reduced in
width at the northwest corner of the property to accommodate the design of the
new parking areas. This buffer would contain a row of Green Buttonwood, Bald
Cypress, and Black Bamboo. Each tree would be installed at 14 to 16 feet in height
and spaced 20 feet apart from each other. A row of hedges would be installed
along the base of each building. The aforementioned plant material would be
sufficient in terms of lower and upper level buffering in part, because no employee
or customer activity would occur west of the buildings and vehicular use areas are
principally proposed along the eastern portion of the site.

Building I Site:
Design:
The project proposes three (3) separate buildings, labeled "north", "central", and
"south". The north building would be the largest, proposed at 59,327 square feet.
The central building would be 43,122 square feet and the south, 31,462 square
feet. According to the cover sheet tabular data, the lot coverage would 39.6%,
which is under the 60% maximum allowed in the M-l zoning district. The floor
plans show the north building would have 15 individual bays. The central building
would have 11 bays and the south, 13 bays. All buildings would be one (1) story
tall and of equal height. The top of the main parapet wall would be 28 feet - six
(6) inches tall. The top of the entry feature would be 34 feet - six (6) inches tall,
which would be below the maximum height of 45 feet. All buildings would meet
the minimum setbacks required in the M-l zoning district. The building and site
design as proposed would generally meet code requirements when staff comments
are incorporated into the permit drawings.
As previously mentioned, the site is located in an isolated area of the city and lacks
frontage on a major thoroughfare. Trucks traveling to and from the site would
have to traverse through residential neighborhoods in order to access the site.
Staff has communicated this concern to the developer. The developer has
suggested that the proposed building sizes, on-site design, and uses would
informally discourage large tractor trailers from coming to the industrial site. While
the developer's response may be justified because of those aforementioned
reasons, there is nothing in city code that would prohibit or restrict the infrequent
and / or wayward visit of a tractor trailer. As such, the developer has provided
staff with three (3) viable truck route plans (see Exhibit "D''). While all routes
would be adequate, staff determined that Option 1.A is the one most qualified to
absorb the traffic impact due to its wider rights-of-way (of West Ocean Drive),
length of roadway segments, and characteristics that accommodate
maneuverability (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). However, each option
and I or a combination of each option are feasible based on their own merits.
The project would require an on-site lift-station for sanitary sewer. The structure
would be located along the west property line between the central and south
buildings, opposite the water-retention (drainage) area so as to not impact any of
the residential areas. Six (6) dumpster enclosures are proposed along the
easternmost limits of the drive aisle and parking lots. The back-up dimensions
have been reviewed and approved by engineering staff. Additionally, the Rre Plan
(Sheet A-0.3) shows the large turning radii and wide drive-aisle dimensions that
will accommodate service vehicles, such as fire trucks, ambulances, and garbage
trucks.
The exterior design of the proposed buildings would be an upgrade from the
current on-site conditions (dilapidated, unsafe structures). The new buildings
would consist of tilt-wall construction and comply with the 2004 Florida Building
Code. The east fa~de or the "front" of the buildings would face Interstate 95.
These elevations show that future knock-out panels are incorporated into the
design to allow the owner the choice of adding more front doors. The floor plans
and elevations show that each building would be long and narrow, with tilt-up enby
panels and triangular-shaped wedges proposed at each front entrance. The entry

Signage:
panels would help to "break-up" the monotony of the flat roof and provide focal
points. Also, these elements will help to distract from the overhead bay doors that
are oriented towards Intestate 95 and the north / south sides of the building. No
doors (overhead or pedestrian) would face the residential neighborhoods to the
west. However, the west fac;ades, or the "rear" of each building were only
enhanced with score lines. Therefore, staff recommends incorporating variations in
height of the parapet wall for the west fac;ade, similar to that of the east facades.
This would help to improve the appearance of the west fac;ade by breaking-up the
linear nature of the buildings (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).
The buildings would be painted with an array of earth-tone colors and be adorned
with score lines and triangular entry features. The Benjamin Moore paints are
proposed as follows:
Paint Name Common name Color Code
Whale Grav Dark gray 2134-40
Province Blue BI ue-CI ray 2135-40
Brilliance White White Ready-mixed
Dakota Woods Green Dark Green 2139-20
Grav Miraae Tan 2412-50
The buildings would also contain clear anodized aluminum frames with light gray
tinted impact glass. The photometric plan (Sheet E1-1B) shows the proposed
lighting levels for the parking areas along Interstate 95. The levels are such that it
would provide for a safe environment at night but not too excessive that they
would be more noticeable than any other industrial property.
The elevation pages show that wall signs are proposed on the front (east elevation)
and sides (north and south elevations) of each building, above either the doors or
windows. All letters would be made of 20" high clear anodized aluminum channel
letters and of Century Gothic font. No Sign color(s) are proposed at this time.
According to Chapter 21, Article IV, Section 5.B., the maximum area for all wall
signage is based on one (1) square foot of area of each one (1) foot of linear
building frontage. A freestanding monument sign is proposed at the southeast
corner of the property. According to the Freestanding Sign Detail (Sheet A-0.2), it
would be 20 feet in height and contain 16" high clear anodized aluminum channel
letters in a Century Gothic font. The base of the sign would have multiple colors
(Province Blue and Mirage Blue). According to Chapter 21, Article IV, Section 5.F.,
a directional sign not exceeding four (4) square feet in area and five (5) feet in
height would be allowed along West Ocean Drive. A directory sign is proposed at
the northeast corner of the site. All freestanding signs must be located at least 10
feet from the property line. Because of the site's visibility to Interstate 95, staff
recommends creating a Sign Program for the entire development, which would
include the sign type(s), color(s), material(s), and location(s). All future site and
building sign age would be subject to the Sign Program for the entire center (see
Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval).

PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
30. The maximum height allowed in the M-I zoning district is 45 feet, not 55 feet X
as indicated on the cover sheet and site plan tabular data. Correct the plans at
the time ofnennitting.
31. Feature lighting emphasizing plants, trees, barriers, entrances, and exits is X
encouraged (Chapter 9, Section 10.F.3.). This is especially pertinent for the
east building facades that would be visible from Interstate 95.
32. Correct the label for the Yellow Elder trees so that it matches the Plant List X
(on the landscape plan sheet L-3).
33. The monument sign proposed (at the southeast comer) and the directory sign X
proposed at the northeast comer of the property must be located at least 10
feet from the property line. Also, the monument sign must be shown on the
landscape plan with colorful groundcover plants installed at its base. Because
of the site's visibility to Interstate 95, staff recommends creating a Sign
Program for the entire development. which would include all sign type(s),
color(s), material(s), and location(s). All future site and building signage
would be subject to the Sign Program for the entire center.
34. The west fayade of each building is long, linear, and uninterrupted by any X
variations in height. This is the fayade that is oriented towards the railroad
tracks and the residential neighborhoods. Therefore, staff recommends
incorporating variations to the height to west elevation' s parapet wall, similar
to that of the east facades. This would help to improve the appearance of the
west fayade because varying heights of the parapet wall would break-up the
linear nature ofthe buildings

9. Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the area of the
proposed development may not be able to handle the additional heavy wheel v'
loadings of truck traffic and that the additional trucks could harm the existing
streets, adding to the tax burden of Boynton Beach residents. Because of
these impacts, Staff believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to
be required to mitigate the safety and potential structural impacts associated
with the additional truck traffic.
In Staffs opinion, the preferred truck route is along SW 8th St., south to West
Ocean Dr., then east-northeast to West Ocean Ave., and east to the Ocean 95
Exchange Plaza. This route is preferred because it has the greatest roadway
and right-of-way width and fewest turning movements that could negatively
affect private properties. Specific design detail must be give to pedestrian
safety in the vicinity of Hibiscus Park.
Staff recognizes that numerous other truck route alternatives are available
south of Boynton Beach Blvd. Each of these alternatives possess' their own
pros and cons. Again, for strictly technical reasons, the Ocean Dr. corridor is
preferable. However. Staff would encourage public deliberation on this
matter because of the sensitive nature and public perceptions related to
increased truck volumes.
The analysis should include the extent and cost of road improvements', need
for additional right-of-way, ability of the roadways to accommodate various
truck sizes, and number of residents impacted bv each alternative.

Comments:
IS. Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer V
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date for
the time line should be the date of City Commission approval. Also provide
milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the
setting of the first water meter. This timeline will be used to determine the
adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon
the proiect's completion, so please be as accurate as possible.
19. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and t/
landscape plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may
determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with
utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within
utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so
that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in
the foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section IS.I gives
public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services. either in utility easements or public rights-of-wav. ,
20. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water ./

sections of main can lead to stagnation in the line and bacteriolol!icall!Towth.
22. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each
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. Our preliminary review indicates that the South Building has /
sufficient coverage. the Central Building is almost covered, and the North
Building does not have sufficient coverage. The proposed fire hydrant
configuration needs to be reviewed entirely. A single fire hydrant can only
deliver approximately 750 gpm at best. To provide the 1,500 gpm
requirement noted above. usually requires overlapping fire hydrant coverage,
or a sprinkler system internal to each building in addition to the skeleton
system shown on the submitted plans. As noted above, a looped water supply
svstem will be required in order to achieve this.
23. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid /
for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature on the
Health Department application fonns or within seven (7) days of site plan
approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be detennined based upon
final meter size, or expected demand.

over the type of vehicular traffic (i.e. tractor trailers, big rigs) that this project
is expected to generate. The site is nestled between the C.S.x. railroad tracks
deep within an established single-family community. The traffic analysis
states "the proposed redevelopment of the site...is expected to result in uses
that are primarily served by smaller single unit box trucks for pickups and
deliveries". While the analysis is eloquently articulated, staff still has
concerns over the legitimacy and practicality of its conclusions. In fact, the
anticipated performance of the site (i.e. truck traffic) may conflict and impact
the adjacent residential land use that the project would not meet the intent,
purpose, and protections that the zoning code provides. How can the city be
assured there would be no conflicts with large truck traffic? Deed or lease

lK Staff recommends installing a cluster of palm trees near the dumpster i/'
enclosures in lieu of canODV trees.
94. Staff recommends enhancing the east fa9ade of all three (3) buildings due to
the fact that they will be highly visible from Interstate 95. A comparable
office / warehouse project by Levitt Corporation was recently constructed
along High Ridge Road (within the city) that contained unique qualities that
further enhanced its design. Likewise, staff is particularly conscious of this
project's current location because of its close proximity and visibility to
Interstate 95. Therefore, staff will be making design-related comments to
both the Planning & Development Board and the City Commission. Staff
understands that the constraints of this linear site (and location) and concurs
with the project intent to face the overhead doors eastward, opposite the
residential homes. However, if possible, staff recommends recessing the
overhead doors, approximately four (4) to five (5) feet from the main exterior
wall. Also, the overhead doors should be separated six (6) to eight (8) feet
from each other. This would help to break up the double doors and the
"look" of massive 24-foot wide overhead doors. Please consider the use of
low-profile overhead doors rather than wide panel doors. Finally, please
consider increasing the height of the entry panels to help break up the
"horizontal" characteristic of the project. The use of faux Bahama-style
shutters would look nice over the office windows.
95. West fa9ade requires additional architectural enhancement, as there is a great
deal of blank wall facing a residential neighborhood. A variation in roof line.
as shown on the east elevation, would also improve the west facade.
96. The cell tower compound on the site does not appear to have any landscaping
other than sod surrounding it. The fenced compound should have shrubs to a
minimum of half the height of the fence and trees every 20 feet on center.
97. All rooftop equipment must be completely screened from view at a minimum
distance of 600 feet.

9. Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the area of the
proposed development may not be able to handle the additional heavy wheel
loadings of truck traffic and that the additional trucks could hann the existing
streets, adding to the tax burden of Boynton Beach residents. Because of
these impacts, Staff believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to
be required to mitigate the safety and potential structural impacts associated
with the additional truck traffic.
In Staffs opinion, the preferred truck route is along SW 8th St., south to West
Ocean Dr., then east-northeast to West Ocean Ave., and east to the Ocean 95
Exchange Plaza. This route is preferred because it has the greatest roadway
and right-of-way width and fewest turning movements that could negatively
affect private properties. Specific design detail must be give to pedestrian
safety in the vicinity of Hibiscus Park.
Staff recognizes that numerous other truck route alternatives are available
south of Boynton Beach Blvd. Each of these alternatives possess' their own
pros and cons. Again, for strictly technical reasons, the Ocean Dr. corridor is
preferable. However, Staff would encourage public deliberation on this
matter because of the sensitive nature and public perceptions related to
increased truck volumes.
The analysis should include the extent and cost of road improvements', need
for additional right-of-way, ability of the roadways to accommodate various
truck sizes, and number of residents impacted by each alternative.

system looping for this project will leave a dead-end line approximately 400-
ft. in length. Re-evaluate the location and spacing of fire hydrants to see if
the furthest south fire hydrant can be eliminated. Excessively long dead-end
sections of main can lead to stagnation in the line and bacteriological growth.

Building does not have sufficient coverage. The proposed fire hydrant
configuration needs to be reviewed entirely. A single fire hydrant can only
deliver approximately 750 gpm at best. To provide the 1.500 gpm

is expected to generate. The site is nestled between the C.S.X. railroad tracks
deep within an established single-family community. The traffic analysis
states "the proposed redevelopment of the site... is expected to result in uses
that are primarily served by smaller single unit box trucks for pickups and
deliveries". While the analysis is eloquently articulated, staff still has
concerns over the legitimacy and practicality of its conclusions. In fact, the
anticipated performance of the site (Le. truck traffic) may conflict and impact
the adjacent residential land use that the project would not meet the intent,

93. Staff recommends installing a cluster of palm trees near the dumpster
enclosures in lieu of canonv trees.
94. Staff recommends enhancing the east fa,ade of all three (3) buildings due to
the fact that they will be highly visible from Interstate 95. A comparable
office / warehouse project by Levitt Corporation was recently constructed
along High Ridge Road (within the city) that contained unique qualities that
further enhanced its design. Likewise, staff is particularly conscious of this
project's current location because of its close proximity and visibility to
Interstate 95. Therefore, staff will be making design-related comments to
both the Planning & Development Board and the City Commission. Staff
understands that the constmints of this linear site (and location) and concurs
with the project intent to face the overhead doors eastward, opposite the
residential homes. However, if possible, staff recommends recessing the
overhead doors, approximately four (4) to five (5) feet from the main exterior
wall. Also, the overhead doors should be separated six (6) to eight (8) feet
from each other. This would help to break up the double doors and the
"look" of massive 24-foot wide overhead doors. Please consider the use of
low-profile overhead doors rather than wide panel doors. Finally, please
consider increasing the height of the entry panels to help break up the
"horizontal" characteristic of the project. The use of faux Bahama-style
shutters would look nice over the office windows.

9. Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the area of the
proposed development may not be able to handle the additional heavy wheel
loadings of truck traffic and that the additional trucks could harm the existing
streets, adding to the tax burden of Boynton Beach residents. Because of
these impacts, Staff believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to
be required to mitigate the safety and potential structural impacts associated
with the additional truck traffic.
In Staff s opinion, the preferred truck route is along SW 8th St., south to West
Ocean Dr., then east-northeast to West Ocean Ave., and east to the Ocean 95
Exchange Plaza. This route is preferred because it has the greatest roadway
and right-of-way width and fewest turning movements that could negatively
affect private properties. Specific design detail must be give to pedestrian
safety in the vicinity of Hibiscus Park.
Staff recognizes that numerous other truck route alternatives are available
south of Boynton Beach Blvd. Each of these alternatives possess' their own
pros and cons. Again, for strictly technical reasons, the Ocean Dr. corridor is
preferable. However, Staff would encourage public deliberation on this
matter because of the sensitive nature and public perceptions related to
increased truck volumes.
The analysis should include the extent and cost of road improvements', need
for additional right-of-way, ability of the roadways to accommodate various
truck sizes, and number of residents impacted by each alternative.

IS. Please provide a timeline that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date for
the timeline should be the date of City Commission approvaL Also provide
milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the
setting of the first water meter. This timeline will be used to determine the
adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon
the project's completion, so please be as accurate as Dossible.
19. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and
landscape plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may
detennine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with
utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within
utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so
that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in
the foreseeable future. The LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section IS.I gives
public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.

requirement of 1,500 gpm with 20 psi residual pressure as stated in the LDR,
Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance
underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). The proposed
system looping for this project will leave a dead-end line approximately 400-
ft. in length. Re-evaluate the location and spacing of fire hydrants to see if
the furthest south fire hydrant can be eliminated. Excessively long dead-end
sections of main can lead to stagnation in the line and bacteriological growth.
A fire flow test has been ordered from the Fire Department. The requested
fire flow calculations will be based upon the results of the fire flow test.
22. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each
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. Our preliminary review indicates that the South Building has
sufficient coverage, the Central Building is almost covered, and the North
Building does not have sufficient coverage. The proposed fire hydrant
configuration needs to be reviewed entirely. A single fire hydrant can only
deliver approximately 750 gpm at best. To provide the 1,500 gpm
requirement noted above, usually requires overlapping fire hydrant coverage,
or a sprinkler system internal to each building in addition to the skeleton
system shown on the submitted plans. As noted above, a looped water supply
system will be required in order to achieve this.
A looped water supply system and additional fire hydrants have been added
to tbe plans in order to comply with the reQuested criteria.
23. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid

9. Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the area of the
proposed development may not be able to handle the additional heavy wheel
loadings of truck traffic and that the additional trucks could harm the existing
streets, adding to the tax burden of Boynton Beach residents. Because of
these impacts, Staff believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to
be required to mitigate the safety and potential structural impacts associated
with the additional truck traffic.
In Staff's opinion, the preferred truck route is along SW 8th St., south to West
Ocean Dr., then east-northeast to West Ocean Ave., and east to the Ocean 95
Exchange Plaza. This route is preferred because it has the greatest roadway
and right-of-way width and fewest turning movements that could negatively
affect private properties. Specific design detail must be give to pedestrian
safety in the vicinity of Hibiscus Park.
Staff recognizes that numerous other truck route alternatives are available
south of Boynton Beach Blvd. Each of these alternatives possess' their own
pros and cons. Again, for strictly technical reasons, the Ocean Dr. corridor is
preferable. However, Staff would encourage public deliberation on this
matter because of the sensitive nature and public perceptions related to
increased truck volumes.
The analysis should include the extent and cost of road improvements', need
for additional right-of-way, ability of the roadways to accommodate various
truck sizes, and number of residents impacted by each alternative.

Eric,
I believe I have finalized the COA to use in place of the comment we previously had regarding the truck
route. I spoke with Chris Hagen at KH this morning to go over what was needed for the plans for the
P&D Board and Commission. He will be renumbering/relabeling the options so that Option 1A is our
preferred option (currently our preferred option is labeled 1 B.) He is also only putting in three of the
four options. We will not be including the option that starts at Woolbright and comes north to get to the
site. He will keep that option should it need to be presented during one of the public hearings at P&D
or Commission. He is also preparing a cover sheet for the "Off-Site Truck Route Improvements" that
will include typical roadway sections (one with curb & gutter and one with a swale section), notes and a
legend. I asked him to contact you directly to find out what timing was needed for KH to meetr our
schedule for submittal to P&D.
Here's the proposed COA:
Provide Off-Site Roadway Improvement plans for the truck route to be used to access this project using
Option 1A (SW 8th St. and W. Ocean Dr.) Roadway improvements may include, at a minimum, but not
be limited to, design of two 12-ft. travel lanes, drainage, sidewalk, signing, and striping as required and
determined necessary along the proposed truck route. Design shall be finalized after public input and
approval by the appropriate governing boards and Commission.
Let me know if you need anything else from me on this project. Also please let me know what P&D
meeting and Commission meetings they will be targeting. Thank you.

Chris,
Thanks for providing the four alternative truck routes for my review. I see that Eric has sent you an e-mail
regarding what we will need for the plans. I will be writing a new condition of approval (COA) regardomg the truck
route. You will be provided that comment after it has been sent to P&Z. As you know Staff prefers Option #1 B,
along SW 8th SI. and W. Ocean Dr., and that alternative will be emphasized in the COA. As we discussed
yesterday we will finalize design of the truck route after it has been through the P&D Board and Commission.
During that process there will be public hearings and the public will have a chance to see and comment upon
them. The final decision is the public's and our elected officials. Thanks for your help with providing this
information they will need to make an informed decision.
I look forward to talking to you again.

expected potable water and sanitary sewer demands? Please fill in the "x".
The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from
Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the projected potable water for this project (project estimated to require a
total of 17000 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be required, especially on the
water delivery system for the project, depending upon the final project configuration and fire-flow demands. These

local improvements would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be reviewed at the time of permitting.
Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is currentiy available to serve the projected total of 17000

9. Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the area of the
proposed development may not be able to handle the additional heavy wheel
loadings of truck traffic and that the additional trucks could harm the existing
streets, adding to the tax burden of Boynton Beach residents. Because of
these impacts, Staff believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to
be required to mitigate the safety and potential structural impacts associated
with the additional truck traffic.
In Staff's opinion, the preferred truck rou~e is '~W 8th St., south to West
~ ./
Ocean Dr., then east-northeast to West 0 Ave" iljl east to the Ocean 95
Exchange Plaza. This route is prefened because it has the greatest roadway
and right-of-way width and fewest turJril:1g movements that could negatively
affect private properties, Specific desigri~ail must be give to pedestrian
safety in the vicinity of Hibiscus Park.
Staff recognizes that bumerous other truck route alternatives are available
south of Boynton Beach lllvd. Each of these alternatives possess' their own
pros and cons, Again, for ~i~tly te~nical reasons, the Ocean Dr. corridor is
preferabt~ However, Staff ",auld encourage public deliberation on this
matter bec~'Of~. sensitive nature and public perceptions related to
increased truck ~umes. .
The analysis should include the extent and cost of road improvements', need
for additional right-of-way, ability of the roadways to accommodate various
truck sizes, and number of residents impacted bv each alternative.

UTILITIES
Comments:
IS. Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date for
the time line should be the date of City Commission approval. Also provide
milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the
setting of the first water meter. This time line will be used to determine the
adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon
the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible.
19. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and
landscape plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may
determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with
utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within
utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so
that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in
the foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article !, Section IS.I gives
public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.
20. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water
and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
21. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code
requirement of ! ,500 gpm with 20 psi residual pressure as stated in the LDR,
Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance
underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). The proposed
system looping for this project will leave a dead-end line approximately 400-
ft. in length. Re-evaluate the location and spacing of fire hydrants to see if
the furthest south fire hydrant can be eliminated. Excessively long dead-end

sections of main can lead to stagnation in the line and bacteriological growth.
22. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section] 6 requires that all points on each
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. Our preliminary review indicates that the South Building has
sufficient coverage, the Central Building is almost covered, and the North 'Y
Building does not have sufficient coverage. The proposed fire hydrant
configuration needs to be reviewed entirely. A single fire hydrant can only
deliver approximately 750 gpm at best. To provide the 1,500 gpm
requirement noted above, usually requires overlapping fire hydrant coverage,
or a sprinkler system internal to each building in addition to the skeleton
system shown on the submitted plans. As noted above, a looped water supply
svstem will be required in order to achieve this.
23. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid
for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature on the
Health Department application forms or within seven (7) days of site plan ,
approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon
final meter size, or expected demand.
24. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable .;
water. As other sources are readily available City water shall not be allowed
for irrigation.
25. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included
within utility easements. Please show all proposed easements on the ,
engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The easements
shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in CODE Sec.

26. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer
utilities, on condition that the systems be fully completed, and given to the "-

20. Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the area of the proposed development
may not be able to handle the additional heavy wheel loadings of truck traffic and that the additional
trucks could harm the existing streets, adding to the tax burden of Boynton Beach residents.
Because of these impacts, Staff believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to be required
to mitigate the safety and potential structural impacts associated with the additional truck traffic.
In Staff's opinion, the preferred truck route is along SW 8'h St., south to West Ocean Dr., then east-
northeast to West Ocean Ave., and east to the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza. This route is preferred
because it has the greatest roadway and right-of-way width and fewest turning movements that could
negatively affect private properties. Specific design detail must be give to pedestrian safety in the
vicinity of Hibiscus Park.
Staff recognizes that numerous other truck route alternatives are available south of Boynton Beach
Blvd. Each of these alternatives possess' their own pros and cons. Again, for strictly technical
reasons, the Ocean Dr. corridor is preferable. However, Staff would encourage public deliberation on
this matter because of the sensitive nature and public perceptions related to increased truck
volumes.
The analysis should include the extent and cost of road improvements', need for additional right-of-
way, ability of the roadways to accommodate various truck sizes, and number of residents impacted
by each alternative.

38. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 gpm with 20
psi residual pressure as stated in the LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement
imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). The proposed
system looping for this project will leave a dead-end line approximately 400-ft. in length. Re-evaluate
the location and spacing of fire hydrants to see if the furthest south fire hydrant can be eliminated.

Excessively long dead-end sections of main can lead to stagnation in the line and bacteriological
growth.
50. The proposed private lift station will be acceptable. All sanitary sewer on the Ocean 95 Exchange
Plaza shall be private. Force main will become the property of the City of Boynton Beach. Provide
appropriate easements for the force main. Permits will be required for the work within the CSXRR
right-of-way.
Add the following new comments in the Utilities Section:
1. Verify size/diameter of water mains to be connected to. Our review indicates that the existing water
mains are 6-in. diameter, not 8-in. as shown in the drawings.
2. Replace 2-in. water main with 8-in. water main from the existing main in West Ocean Ave. to the
proposed 90' or 8-in. tee at the north end of the development. The City may consider allowing 6-in.
water main for this project if fire flow and domestic demands can be accommodated adequately.
Provide demand and head loss calculations supporting the desired main diameter.

10-26 (a).
2, The provided site dumpster enclosure detail (Sheet A-O.I does not meet the
minimum requirements of City Standard Drawing G-4 and LDR, Chapter V
7.5, Article II, Section 5.J. and Article III, Section 9.A.9,a, Revise the detail
to provide a minimum 10 foot (intemal) depth and width for the pad.
3. The required gates for the dumpster shall contain long steel rods to drop into
the pavement in order to secure the gates in the open and closed positions. <./'
Drilled holes (for concrete) or metal sleeves (for asphalt) shall be provided
for the locking rods,
4, The proposed dumpster enclosure locations (Civil Sheets C-I through C-3)
do not provide the required minimum backing clearance of 60 feet
(measured from the front edge of the dumpster pad.) (LDR, Chapter 2, V
Section II.J.2.b.) Please correct.
5, Provide a minimum outside turning radius of 55 feet to allow turning
movements for Solid Waste (and FirelRescue) inside the proposed /'
development. Using AutoTum (or similar), show on the plans that the
required tuming movements are provided. Particular attention should be
given to the entryways and turn-around areas that allow ingress and egress
for Solid Waste and FirelRescue.
6. Rotate the first five dumpsters (north to south) 1800 so that Solid Waste is /
picked up on the way out of the plaza. This will minimize (somewhat) the
backing across both lanes of traffic,
7. The location and orientation of the sixth dumpster (furthest south) is not
acceptable because turning around cannot be safely accomplished at this V
location, Please revise location and/or orientation using the criteria
oreviouslv stated in this memo.
8. There are vertical conflicts between the proposed dumpster enclosure ;V
locations and proposed canopy trees (Live Oak, Gumbo Limbo and East ~
Palarka Holly.) Please relocate canopy trees so that they do not create a
vertical conflict for Solid Waste pickup or replace canopy trees with a tree
species that has a small canopy or no canopy (such as palms) to allow for
unobstructed pickup of dumpsters,

20, Staff has serious concerns about the impact of additional truck traffic
through the residential area. There is an existing truck route along NW I"
Ave, that is supposedly carrying a very minimal amount of truck traffic from
SW 8th Street to the industrial area, It appears that this route was chosen in
earlier years because it had the least number of homes that would be
impacted by the truck traffic when compared to other area residential streets.
However, this route is not the most logical from the perspective of truck
movements, Intersection radii at all points along the route are insufficient
for larger trucks to avoid damage to adjacent turfed rights of way and
private properties.
Because the proposed development will significantly add to the volume of truck
traffic through the residential area, staff believes that a truck route should be
selected that has the least impact or potential to damage the public right of
way. Furthermore, all possible actions to minimize truck conflicts with
pedestrians (i,e.. children at Hibiscus Park) should be considered. Lastly,
Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the immediate area
are not able to handle the additional heavy wheel loadings of truck traffic and
that the additional trucks could harm the existing streets adding to the tax
burden of Boynton Beach residents. Therefore, because of these impacts, staff
believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to be required to
mitigate these safety and structural impacts associated with the additional
truck traffic.
Upon review of the Traffic Impact Analysis and Local Street Analysis provided
for this project Staff proposes three alternatives for movement of traffic
accessing the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza. Recommended alternatives are
given in order of preference:
a, Construct a new road from Morton's Way north to the proposed
development. The proposed roadway shall have a 50foot private right-of-
way width, a minimum of two 12 foot lanes, sidewalk on at least one side
of the street, and provide for stormwater runoff, The designated truck
route will be Woolbright to SW 8th Street to Morton's Way then north to
the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza.
b. Reconstruct the existing truck route (Boynton Beach Blvd, to NW 7th St.
to NW I" Ave, to NW 6th St. to W, Ocean Ave. then east into the Ocean
95 Exchange Plaza.) The right-of-way width for these roads is 50 feet
except for Ocean Ave., which is 70 feet. The typical section shall consist
of a 30 foot paved roadway with curb & guller, sidewalk on at least one
side of the street, and provide for storm water runoff. Additional work
will be required at the round-about at the intersection of W, Ocean
Avenue, West Ocean Drive and NW 6th Street to accommodate correct
luming movements for all vehicles using this intersection,
c. Reconstruct W. Ocean Avenue from Boynton Beach Blvd. to Ocean
A venue then east to the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza. This will become the
designated truck route. The right-of-way width for Ocean Ave. is 50 feet
to the intersection of Ocean Ave. and NW 6th Street then 70 feet from the

UTILITIES
Comments:
35. Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date 1/
for the time line should be the date of City Commission approval. Also
provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and
the setting of the first water meter, This time line will be used to determine
the adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project
upon the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible.
36. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and
landscape plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may
determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with V
utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within
utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so
that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in
the foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives
public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.
37, Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the V
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
38. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code /
requirement of 1,500 gpm with 20 psi residual pressure as stated in the

insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). A
single 6-inch spur line, 1,830 long, off of an existing 6-inch water main (in
Ocean Ave.) will not meet this requirement. Improvements to the water
utility system off-site will be required in order to support this proposed
development via a looped water main system,
39. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each
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. Our preliminary review indicates that the South Building has /
sufficient coverage, the Central Building is almost covered, and the North
Building does not have sufficient coverage. The proposed fire hydrant
configuration needs to be reviewed entirely. A single fire hydrant can only
deliver approximately 750 gpm at best. To provide the 1,500 gpm
requirement noted above, usually reqUIres overlapping fire hydrant
coverage, or a sprinkler system internal to each building in addition to the
skeleton system shown on the submitted plans. As noted above, a looped
water supply system will be required in order to achieve this.
40, The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be
paid for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature ./
on the Health Department application forms or within seven (7) days of site
plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based
uoon final meter size, or exoected demand,

water. As other sources are readily available City water shall not be allowed ~
for irrigation.
42. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be
included within utility easements. Please show all proposed easements on /
the engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The
easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in
CODE Sec, 26-33(a),
43. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer V
utilities, on condition that the systems be fully completed, and given to the

~~affrecommends enhancing the east fayade of all three (3) buildings due to
the fact that they will be highly visible from Interstate 95. A comparable
office / warehouse project by Levitt Corporation was recently constructed ./
along High Ridge Road (within the city) that contained unique qualities that
further enhanced its design. Likewise, staff is particularly conscious of this
project's current location because of its close proximity and visibility to
Interstate 95. Therefore, staff will be making design-related comments to
both the Planning & Development Board and the City Commission. Staff
understands that the constraints of this linear site (and location) and concurs
with the project intent to face the overhead doors eastward, opposite the
residential homes, However, if possible, staff recommends recessing the
overhead doors, approximately four (4) to five (5) feet from the main
exterior wall. Also, the overhead doors should be separated six (6) to eight
(8) feet from each other. This would help to break up the double doors and
the "look" of massive 24-foot wide overhead doors, Please consider the use

of low-profile overhead doors rather than wide panel doors. Finally, please V
consider increasing the height of the entry panels to help break up the
"horizontal" characteristic of the project. The use of faux Bahama-style
~ shutters would look nice over the office windows.
~, West fayade requires additional architectural enhancement, as there is a ~
great deal of blank wall facing a residential neighborhood. A variation in
roof line, as shown on the east elevation, would also improve the west
~ facade.

PUBLIC WORKS - Solid Waste
Comments:
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section .\
10-26 (a).
2, The provided site dumpster enclosure detail (Sheet A-O.! does not meet the
minimum requirements of City Standard Drawing G-4 and LDR, Chapter
7,5, Article II, Section 5.J. and Article III, Section 9.A,9,a. Revise the detail "
to provide a minimum 10 foot (internal) depth and width for the pad.
3. The required gates for the dumpster shall contain long steel rods to drop into
the pavement in order to secure the gates in the open and closed positions, ','
Drilled holes (for concrete) or metal sleeves (for asphalt) shall be provided
for the locking rods,
4. The proposed dumpster enclosure locations (Civil Sheets C-l through C-3)
do not provide the required minimum backing clearance of 60 feet
(measured from the front edge of the dumpster pad.) (LDR, Chapter 2, \,
Section II.J,2,b.) Please correct.
5, Provide a minimum outside turning radius of 55 feet to allow tuming
movements for Solid Waste (and FirelRescue) inside the proposed
development. Using AutoTum (or similar), show on the plans that the
required turning movements are provided, Particular attention should be
given to the entryways and turn-around areas that allow ingress and egress
for Solid Waste and FirelRescue.
6. Rotate the first five dumpsters (north to south) 180' so that Solid Waste is
picked up on the way out of the plaza, This will minimize (somewhat) the
backing across both lanes of traffic.
7, The location and orientation of the sixth dumpster (furthest south) is not
acceptable because tuming around cannot be safely accomplished at this
location. Please revise location and/or orientation using the criteria
previously stated in this memo.
8, There are vertical conflicts between the proposed dumpster enclosure
locations and proposed canopy trees (Live Oak, Gumbo Limbo and East
Palarka Holly,) Please relocate canopy trees so that they do not create a ,
vertical conflict for Solid Waste pickup or replace canopy trees with a tree .
species that has a small canopy or no canopy (such as palms) to allow for
unobstructed pickup of dumpsters.

20, Staff has serious concerns about the impact of additional truck traffic
through the residential area. There is an existing truck route along NW I"
Ave. that is supposedly carrying a very minimal amount of truck traffic from
SW 8th Street to the industrial area. It appears that this route was chosen in
earlier years because it had the least number of homes that would be
impacted by the truck traffic when compared to other area residential streets.
However, this route is not the most logical from the perspective of truck
movements. Intersection radii at all points along the route are insufficient
for larger trucks to avoid damage to adjacent turfed rights of way and
private properties.
Because the proposed development will significantly add to the volume of truck
traffic through the residential area, staff believes that a truck route should be
selected that has the least impact or potential to damage the public right of
way. Furthermore, all possible actions to minimize truck conflicts with
pedestrians (i,e.. children at Hibiscus Park) should be considered. Lastly,
Staff is concerned that the existing pavement structures in the immediate area
are not able to handle the additional heavy wheel loadings of truck traffic and
that the additional trucks could harm the existing streets adding to the tax
burden of Boynton Beach residents. Therefore, because of these impacts, staff
believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to be required to
mitigate these safety and structural impacts associated with the additional
truck traffic.
Upon review of the Traffic Impact Analysis and Local Street Analysis provided
for this project Staff proposes three alternatives for movement of traffic
accessing the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza. Recommended alternatives are
given in order ofpreference:
a. Construct a new road from Morton's Way north to the proposed
development. The proposed roadway shall have a 50foot private right-of-
way width, a minimum of two 12 foot lanes, sidewalk on at least one side
of the street, and provide for stormwater runoff. The designated truck
route will be Woolbright to SW 8th Street to Morton's Way then north to
the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza.
b. Reconstruct the existing truck route (Boynton Beach Blvd, to NW 7th St.
to NW I" Ave. to NW 6th St. to W. Ocean Ave. then east into the Ocean
95 Exchange Plaza.) The right-of-way width for these roads is 50 feet
except for Ocean Ave" which is 70 feet. The typical section shall consist
of a 30 foot paved roadway with curb & gutter, sidewalk on at least one
side of the street, and provide for storm water runoff. Additional work
will be required at the round-about at the intersection of W. Ocean
Avenue, West Ocean Drive and NW 6th Street to accommodate correct
tuming movements for all vehicles using this intersection.
c, Reconstruct W. Ocean Avenue from Boynton Beach Blvd. to Ocean
Avenue then east to the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza. This will become the
designated truck route. The right-of-way width for Ocean Ave. is 50 feet

UTILITIES
Comments:
35. Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date
for the time line should be the date of City Commission approval. Also .'
provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and
the setting of the first water meter. This time line will be used to determine
the adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project
upon the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible.

\, landscape plan~(as well as the Water and Sewer Plan~ so that we may
, aelemtlne 'w1llch 'appurtenances, trees or slriubbery may interfere with
utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within
utility easements, Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so
that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in
the foreseeable future, The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives
public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.

insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). A
single 6-inch spur line, 1,830 long, off of an existing 6-inch water main (in
Ocean Ave.) will not meet this requirement. Improvements to the water
utility system off-site will be required in order to support this proposed
development via a looped water main system.
39. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each
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. Our preliminary review indicates that the South Building has
sufficient coverage, the Central Building is almost covered, and the North
Building does not have sufficient coverage, The proposed fire hydrant
configuration needs to be reviewed entirely. A single fire hydrant can only
deliver approximately 750 gpm at best. To provide the 1,500 gpm
requirement noted above, usually requires overlapping fire hydrant
coverage, or a sprinkter system intemal to each building in addition to the
skeleton system shown on the submitted plans. As noted above, a looped
water supply system will be required in order to achieve this.
40. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be
paid for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature
on the Health Department application forms or within seven (7) days of site
plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based
UDon final meter size, or expected demand.
41. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable
water. As other sources are readily available City water shall not be allowed
for irrigation.
42. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be
included within utility easements. Please show all proposed easements on
the engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The
easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in
CODE Sec. 26-33(a).
43. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer
utilities, on condition that the systems be fully completed, and given to the
City Utilities Department before the first permanent meter is set. Note that
setting of a permanent water meter is a prerequisite to obtaining the

Comments:
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section
10-26 (a),
2. The provided site dumpster enclosure detail (Sheet A-O.I does not meet the
minimum requirements of City Standard Drawing G-4 and LDR, Chapter
7.5, Article II, Section 5.J, and Article III, Section 9.A.9,a, Revise the detail
to provide a minimum 10 foot (internal) depth and width for the pad.
3. The required gates for the dumpster shall contain long steel rods to drop into
the pavement in order to secure the gates in the open and closed positions.
Drilled holes (for concrete) or metal sleeves (for asphalt) shall be provided
for the locking rods.
4, The proposed dumpster enclosure locations (Civil Sheets C-I through C-3)
do not provide the required minimum backing clearance of 60 feet
(measured from the front edge of the dumpster pad.) (LDR, Chapter 2,
Section 11.J,2.b,) Please correct.
5, Provide a minimum outside turning radius of 55 feet to allow tuming
movements for Solid Waste (and Fire/Rescue) inside the proposed

given to the entryways and tum-around areas that allow ingress and egress
for Solid Waste and Fire/Rescue,
6. Rotate the first five dumpsters (north to south) 1800 so that Solid Waste is
picked up on the way out of the plaza. This will minimize (somewhat) the
backing across both lanes of traffic.
7. The location and orientation of the sixth dumpster (furthest south) is not
acceptable because turning around cannot be safely accomplished at this
location, Please revise location and/or orientation using the criteria
previouslv stated in this memo,
8, There are vertical conflicts between the proposed dumpster enclosure
locations and proposed canopy trees (Live Oak, Gumbo Limbo and East
Palarka Holly.) Please relocate canopy trees so that they do not create a
vertical conflict for Solid Waste pickup or replace canopy trees with a tree

New Site Plan -1st Review
Ocean 95 Exchange
File No. NWSP 06-020
The above referenced Site Plans, received on June 1, 2006, was reviewed for Public Works,
Engineering, and Utilities against the requirements outlined in the City of Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances. Following are our comments with the appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations
(LOR) referenced.
PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-6200) regarding the
storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section 10-26 (a),
2. The provided site dumpster enclosure detail (Sheet A-0.1 does not meet the minimum requirements
of City Standard Drawing G-4 and LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5,J, and Article III, Section
9.A,9.a. Revise the detail to provide a minimum 10-ft. (internal) depth and width for the pad,
3. The required gates for the dumpster shall contain long steel rods to drop into the pavement in order
to secure the gates in the open and closed positions. Drilled holes (for concrete) or metal sleeves
(for asphalt) shall be provided for the locking rods.
4. The proposed dumpster enclosure locations (Civil Sheets C-1 through C-3) do not provide the
required minimum backing clearance of 60 ft, (measured from the front edge of the dumpster pad,)
(LOR, Chapter 2, Section 11.J.2.b.) Please correct.
5. Provide a minimum outside turning radius of 55 ft. to allow turning movements for Solid Waste (and
Fire/Rescue) inside the proposed development. Using AutoTurn (or similar), show on the plans that
the required turning movements are provided. Particular attention should be given to the entryways
and turn-around areas that allow ingress and egress for Solid Waste and Fire/Rescue,
6. Rotate the first five dumpsters (north to south) 180' so that Solid Waste is picked up on the way out
of the plaza. This will minimize (somewhat) the backing across both lanes of traffic.
7. The location and orientation of the sixth dumpster (furthest south) is not acceptable because turning
around cannot be safely accomplished at this location. Please revise location and/or orientation
using the criteria previously stated in this memo.
8. There are vertical conflicts between the proposed dumpster enclosure locations and proposed
canopy trees (Live Oak, Gumbo Limbo and East Palarka Holly.) Please relocate canopy trees so
that they do not create a vertical conflict for Solid Waste pickup or replace canopy trees with a tree

species that has a small canopy or no canopy (such as palms) to allow for unobstructed pickup of
dumpsters,
PUBLIC WORKS - FORESTRY & GROUNDS
9. Show sight triangles on the Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) using a 25-ft,
sight triangle,
10. Staff strongly recommends placing canopy trees far enough back from drive aisles to minimize the
potential for vertical conflicts with high-profile vehicles.
11. Gumbo Limbo should placed a minimum of 10-ft. away from curb in landscape islands to prevent
breaking and heaving at the tree's maturity,
12. Live Oaks and Gumbo Limbo should be placed a minimum of 10-ft. from the property lines to allow
for maintenance at maturity. The east and west property lines abut the 1-95 and CSXRR rights-of-
way, respectively. Both entities have restrictions in allowing non-public uses on their properties.
13. There are overhead lines along the north and west property lines. Landscaping shall be designed
and installed in accordance with FPL's "Plant the Right Tree in the Right Place."
PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC
14. Provide a notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from Palm Beach County
Traffic Engineering,
15. 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,
Delineate and stripe the "Loading Area" (LOR, Chapter 2, Section 11.J); include a pavement
message in yellow indicating "No Parking - Loading Zone". See City Standard Drawings "K" Series
for striping details.
16. Provide Fire Lanes in accordance with the LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section B,2 and Section M,
17. Parking stalls are incorrectly dimensioned at 9-ft, x 18-ft. The correct stall dimension is 9)1,-ft. x 18)1,-
ft. with a 25-ft. minimum aisle width.
18. Staff strongly recommends specifying wider lane widths to accommodate truck traffic and backing
movements.
19. The proposed site layout will not adequately accommodate turn-around movements for any trucks
using this development. Turn-arounds will need to be provided for Solid Waste, Fire-Rescue, and
trucks doing business within the Plaza.
20. Staff has serious concerns about the impact of additional truck traffic through the residential area.
There is an existing truck route along NW 1" Ave. that is supposedly carrying a very minimal amount
of truck traffic from SW 8'h St. to the industrial area, It appears that this route was chosen in earlier
years because it had the least number of homes that would be impacted by the truck traffic when
compared to other area residential streets. However, this route is not the most logical from the
perspective of truck movements. Intersection radii at all points along the route are insufficient for
larger trucks to avoid damage to adjacent turfed rights of way and private properties,
Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 06-065
RE: Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza, New Site Plan - 1 st Review, NWSP 06-020
June 13, 2006
Page 3
Because the proposed development will significantly add to the volume of truck traffic through the
residential area, staff believes that a truck route should be selected that has the least impact or
potential to damage the public right of way, Furthermore, all possible actions to minimize truck
conflicts with pedestrians (Le.. children at Hibiscus Park) should be considered. Lastly, Staff is
concerned that the existing pavement structures in the immediate area are not able to handle the
additional heavy wheel loadings of truck traffic and that the additional trucks could harm the existing
streets adding to the tax burden of Boynton Beach residents. Therefore, because of these impacts,
staff believes that it is entirely appropriate for the developer to be required to mitigate these safety
and structural impacts associated with the additional truck traffic,
Upon review of the Traffic Impact Analysis and Local Street Analysis provided for this project Staff
proposes three alternatives for movement of traffic accessing the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza,
Recommended alternatives are given in order of preference:
a. Construct a new road from Morton's Way north to the proposed development. The proposed
roadway shall have a 50-ft. private right-of-way width, a minimum of two 12-ft, lanes, sidewalk on
at least one side of the street, and provide for stormwater runoff. The designated truck route will
be Woolbright to SW 8'h St. to Morton's Way then north to the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza,
b. Reconstruct the existing truck route (Boynton Beach Blvd. to NW 7'h St. to NW 1" Ave. to NW 6'h
St. to W. Ocean Ave. then east into the Ocean 95 Exchange Plaza.) The right-of-way width for
these roads is 50-ft. except for Ocean Ave., which is 70-ft. The typical section shall consist of a
30-ft. paved roadway with curb & gutter, sidewalk on at least one side of the street, and provide
for storm water runoff. Additional work will be required at the round-about at the intersection of
W. Ocean Ave" W. Ocean Dr. and NW 6'h St. to accommodate correct turning movements for all
vehicles using this intersection.
c. Reconstruct W. Ocean Ave. from Boynton Beach Blvd, to Ocean Ave. then east to the Ocean 95
Exchange Plaza. This will become the designated truck route, The right-of-way width for Ocean
Ave, is 50-ft. to the intersection of Ocean Ave, and NW 6'h St. then 70-ft. from the intersection
east. The typical section shall consist of a 30-ft. paved roadway with curb & gutter, sidewalk on
both sides of the street and provide for storm water runoff. Additional work will be required at the
round-about at the intersection ofW, Ocean Ave., W. Ocean Dr. and NW 6'h St. to accommodate
correct turning movements for all vehicles using this intersection.
ENGINEERING
21. Add a note to the Site Plan stating "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."
22. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate
sheets.
23. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional comments,
Acceptance of these plans during the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) process does not
ensure that additional comments may not be generated by the Commission and at permit review,

24, Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets,
25. Show and identify all features adjacent to the site to be developed on the plans (including the site
plan, civil plan, and landscape plans) such as the CSXRR and 1-95,
26. Provide the Site, Civil and Landscape plans at the same scale (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7,)
27. Provide the Civil plans at the same sheet size as the remainder of the package (24-in. x 36-in,)
28. Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Civil plans (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4,)
29, Provide a drainage plan in accordance with the LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.F. The plan should
include a sufficient number of existing and proposed grades to indicate general flow patterns for
stormwater management.
30, Provide an engineer's certification on the Drainage Plan as specified in LOR, Chapter 4, Section
7.F.2.
31. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LOR, Chapter 6, Article
IV, Section 5 will be required at the time of permitting,
32, Show on plans (and identify) the 48-in, RCP drainage pipe and associated perpetual easement
located between the North and Central Buildings. A potential vertical conflict may exist between the
drainage pipe and proposed water and sewer mains. Please identify and resolve these conflicts.
33. Correct Sheet C-3 to read W. Ocean Ave., not Ocean Blvd.
34. Paving, drainage and site details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All
engineering construction details shall be in accordance with the applicable City of Boynton Beach
Standard Drawings and the "Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" and
will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application.
UTILITIES
35, Please provide a timeline that clearly illustrates when water and sewer services will be required to
serve the proposed project. Your starting date for the timeline should be the date of City Commission
approval. Also provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the setting
of the first water meter. This timeline will be used to determine the adequacy of water and
wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon the project's completion, so please be as
accurate as possible.
36. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and landscape plans (as well as
the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may
interfere with utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility
easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots and branches will
not impact those utilities within the easement in the foreseeable future, The LOR, Chapter 7,5,
Article I, Section 18.1 gives public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.

37. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
38, Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 gpm with 20
psi residual pressure as stated in the LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement
imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). A single 6-in,
spur line, 1,830 long, off of an existing 6-in. water main (in Ocean Ave,) will not meet this
requirement. Improvements to the water utility system off-site will be required in order to support this
proposed development via a looped water main system,
39. The LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each 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, Our preliminary review indicates that the South Building has sufficient
coverage, the Central Building is almost covered, and the North Building does not have sufficient
coverage. The proposed fire hydrant configuration needs to be reviewed entirely. A single fire
hydrant can only deliver approximately 750 gpm at best. To provide the 1,500 gpm requirement
noted above, usually requires overlapping fire hydrant coverage, or a sprinkler system internal to
each building in addition to the skeleton system shown on the submitted plans. As noted above, a
looped water supply system will be required in order to achieve this,
40, The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this project either
upon the request for the Department's signature on the Health Department application forms or within
seven (7) days of site plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon
final meter size, or expected demand.
41. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C,3.4. requires the conservation of potable water. As other sources
are readily available City water shall not be allowed for irrigation.
42. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility
easements. Please show all proposed easements on the engineering drawings, using a minimum
width of 12 feet. The easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in
CODE Sec. 26-33(a),
43. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities, on condition that the
systems be fully completed, and given to the City Utilities Department before the first permanent
meter is set. Note that setting of a permanent water meter is a prerequisite to obtaining the
Certificate of Occupancy,
44. A building permit for this project shall not be issued until this Department has approved the plans for
the water and/or sewer improvements required to service this project, in accordance with the CODE,
Section 26-15.
45. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP.
46. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the building, and
the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-207.
47. Provide a minimum of 10-ft. separation between water main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer lines,
Please note that City of Boynton Beach separation standards are more stringent that FDEP
standards.

48. The LOR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(0) requires Master Plans to show all utilities on or adjacent
to the proposed tract. The plan must therefore show the point of service for water and sewer, and
the proposed off-site utilities construction needed in order to service this project.
49. The LOR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(P) requires a statement be included that utilities are
available and will be provided by all other appropriate agencies. This statement is lacking on the
submitted plans.
50. A simple minor lift station connection into the city's master 20-in. force main covering the eastern half
of the city (as shown on Sheet C-2) will not be permitted. As an alternate, sanitary sewer may tie into
the wastewater system serving the adjacent residential system, The proposed 4-in. force main will
be required to "tunnel" under the CSXRR to the existing system located in SW 6'h St. Calculations
will be required to reflect that this existing system can accommodate the proposed development as
shown on this submittal.
51. Utility construction details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time, All utility
construction details shall be in accordance with the Utilities Department's "Utilities Engineering
Design Handbook and Construction Standards" manual (including any updates) and will be
reviewed at the time of construction permit application.
