General Description of Development -; A shopping center with a gross leasable area of 1,008,000 square feet is planned to occupy a 92 acre site located in the Boynton Beach area of Palm Beach County, Florida. The tract is bordered on the north by Boynton Canal; on the east by Congress Avenue, and on the south by Boynton West Road. Open land abuts the site's western boundary. Exhibit 1 locates the project property in Boynton Beach. Development plans call for four multi-level major department stores linked by smaller retail and commercial establishments contained within an enclosed central mall. A 72 acre parking lot surrounding the mall will accommodate 5,800 vehicles. Exhibit 2 provides a site plan for the proposed shopping center. The exterior of the mall will be extensively landscaped with tree and ground cover. The interior of the center will be intensively decorated with garden and exhibition areas, fountains and benches. While a gross leasable area (GLA) of 1,008,000 square feet is planned for the mall, flexibility in the provision of leasable floor space is essential. The developer must accommodate tenant requirements. This is particularly true of major depart- ment store branches where a developer may initially assign 125,000 square feet, but a tenant may insist upon 130,000 square feet or conversely, 120,000 square feet. Therefore, a mall's final design depends to a great extent on the number and needs of tenants. Flexibility, of course, is relative rather than absolute. Expan- sion is finite and limited by numerous environmental and economic factors. Generally, a developer provides the flexibility to increase or decrease GLA by 10 percent between preliminary and final design. This flexibility factor has been recognized and incorporated into environmental calaculations for this DRI application. The basis for environmental studies has been the mall as presently planned with a GLA of 1,008,000 square feet. However, in order to provide the developer with flexibility to increase GLA up to 10 percent, additional calculations have been made to indicate the environmental and economic impact of a 1,108,000 square foot GLA mall. It must be emphasized that this 10 percent increase to a 1,108,000 square foot GLA represents absolute maximum feasible development. 1 ''-. I '-.. I j,.'

BOYNTON BEACH SHOPPING MALL PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA .- i ~jJmmOn(l....;1 LOCATION MAP EDWARD J. DeBARTOLO CORPORATION EXHIBIT I Many of the environmental and economic consequences resulting from site development will not vary regardless of whether the mall has a GLA of 1,008,000 or 1,108,000 square feet. In this case, no reference is made to the size of the development. However, where environmental impacts of a 10 percent larger-- 1,108,000 square foot GLA--mall do exceed the proposed project, these are tabulated and discussed. Finally, it must be stressed that only an 1,00B,000square foot GLA mall is planned or intended, that a 10 percent increase in GLA is indicated only to provide the developer with an essential degree of flexibility in accommodating prospective tenants, and that the 1,108,000 square foot GLA represents maximum potential mall development. Therefore, all information provided in response to DR! questions represents maximum impact of potential as well as planned develop- ment. A letter to South Florida Regional Planning Council summarizing the pre-application conference is included in the Appendix. 2 A. 19. IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE REGION Environmental Impact a. Air Qua 1 i ty Introduction In order to interpret both the content and substance of the following section on air quality, some introductory comments are essential. The content of this section has been developed to fulfill dual objectives. These are: (1) to comply with parameters established for DRI applications, and (2) to comply with the State of Florida Department of Pollution Control directives for complex source applications. Close contact and continuing communication with the State Depart- ment of Pollution Control (SDPC) has been maintained throughout the environmental study period. During this time, new State stan- dards including requirements for complex source applications were published. As a result of coordination with the SDPC, it has been established that data developed for the DRI application may be submitted for the complex source application so long as it meets the standards of both agencies. Correspondence to this effect, including a letter from W. E. Starnes, Environmental Administrator of the FDPC Air and Solid Waste Planning Division, is provided in the Appendix of this report. Therefore, the content of the air quality section responds to the varying requirements of multiple State and regional agencies. The substance of the air quality section also reflects multiple data input. In particular, calculations of pollutant dispersions from shopping center parking areas were based on two sets of criteria. The first was established by the SDPC in its Revision to the State of Florida Air Implementation Plan Review of Complex Sources. This states that calculations for air impact from park- ing areas should be based on the assumption that 1.9 percent of all vehicles within a parking area are always in motion and that vehicle speed within a parking area is 5 miles per hour (mph). The second set of criteria was based on an independent study of vehicular movement within a parking area. This study, published in the Appendix, was based on a seven day on-site observation period at the 6,444 car parking lot at Tyrone Square Mall in St. 3 monoxide (CO) pollution; 87 percent of unburned hydrocarbon (He) pollutants; 66 percent of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) pollutants. Stationary sources are primarily responsible for sulfur dioxide (802) and particulate pollutants. Stationary sources account for approximately 97 percent of total S02 pollutants and 90 percent of total particulate pollutants. Ambient concentrations for individual pollutants in the site and at various distances from the site are given in Dispersion Tables included later in this section. Palm Beach County standards and estimated pollutant concentrations generated by the shopping center are also given in these tables. Major stationary sources of air pollution in Palm Beach County are located in Exhibit 3 and emissions of major pollutants from these sources are given in Table 1. Construction Equipment Based on comparable developments, it is estimated that the proposed shopping center will require the following construction equipment during the course of construction of the project. 3 Caterpillar D9 Track Dozers 1 Grader 2 Compactors 8 Trucks 1 Paving Machine Particulate Impact The principal particulate hazard will occur during the construction period when excavated soils are exposed. However, chances of significant particulate pollution are minimal due to the relatively high water table and moisture retention properties of site soils. If dryness should occur, exposed soils will be treated with water and stahl Ii zed. Climatology The summary of local climatological data collected at Palm Beach County Airport for the past 29 years are given in Table 2.

The wind direction and speed for the year 1972 recorded at Palm Beach Airport are given in Table 3. The prevailing wind directions and wind speeds in Florida were obtained from the State of Florida Alr Implementation Plan and are given in Exhibit 4. The wind data shown in Table 3 indicate that the site is affected by winds from the east 16.2 percent of the time, from the east- southeast 12.6 percent of the time, from the east-northeast 12.4 percent of the time, from north-northeast 4.5 percent of the time and from the south-southeast 8.2 percent of the time. Wind from the other points represent the balance--45.9 percent--of the yearly averages. Average monthly wind velocities average between 8.05 and 11.50 miles per hour. Monthly average temperatures range from ~he upper 60's in winter to the lower 80's during summer months. The average monthly rainfall in the region ranges from 2.35 to 9.66 inches. Maximum precipitation occurs during the summer months. The quasi-permanent location of the "Bermudall high pressure area governs the weather of Palm Beach County. It causes prevailing easterly surface winds in addition to supplying the warm moist air necessary to produce the frequent air mass, frontal or nocturnal rain showers and/or thunderstorms that occur in the county. The position of the "Bermuda" high pressure area is also conductive to the formation of atmosphere capable of causing high pollution days. This atmosphere can easily occur if cold air from the north moves underneath the warm moist air brought into the county by the "Bermuda" high, resulting in a temperature inversion which traps the ~ollutants in the lower levels of the atmosphere.l A good dilution of pollutants normally occurs in Palm Beach County during the summer season while poor dilution of pollutants in- version occurs more frequently during winter and fall seasons. 1 Annual Progress Report 1972, Palm Beach County, Florida, Prepared by Palm Beach County Health Department. 8 Table 3 Palm Beach Internati anal Airport (P.B.I.A.)

DeBARTOLO CORPORATION EXHIBIT 4 Types and Sources of Emission The project will directly increase emissions from mobile sources and indirectly affect emissions from off-site stationary sources. Stationary Sources The mall will not include any stationary sources of air pollution. Due to the natural gas shortage, electricity is presumed to be the sole power source for all operations including the mall's heating system. Consequently, the shopping center's only impact on stationary sources will be to indirectly increase off-site power station emissions. Annual power requirements for the mall are estimated to be 27 million kilowatt hours. This represents a minute percentage of the total power output for the service area. Implementation of re- cently established Federal standards for power plant emissions should produce a significant reduction in overall pollution from power generating sources. This and the mall's comparatively small claim on total power requirements, negates the development's impact on off-site stationary sources. Mobile Sources Vehicular traffic in and around the shopping center represents the mobile source of pollution. A detailed discussion of parameters and methods used to calculate traffic emissions is found in the Appendix. For the purpose of brevity, it is reiterated that only the conclusions of the air pollution analysis based on State of Florida Department of Pollution Control parameters and county standards are given in the text of this report. However, tables include findings for the multiple criteria discussed in the Introduction. Pollution from mobile sources results emissions. Types of pollutants are: unburned hydrocarbons (HC); oxides of dioxide (S02); and particulates. primarily from motor vehicle carbon monoxide (CO); nitrogen (NOx); sulfur 10 Initial increased" pollution from mobile sources will occur during the construction period. Table 4 lists pollutional loads re- sulting from construction equipment and construction employee vehicle traffic to the site. Compared to ambient conditions, it can be seen that: Private vehicles used by construction workers only represent 2.7 percent of the project's total daily pollutional construction load. Total pollutional load generated from all mall construction sources will be only 0.14 ton per day. Thus, construction emissions should represent only 0.1 percent of 1976 pollutional loadings in the area. Operation of the center will increase traffic, but overall emission pOllution will decrease within the next decade. This is explained by 1970 Federal Air Quality standards which will ultimately require the manufacture of motor vehicles with emission controls. By 1986, this should reduce CO and HC emissions by approximately 78 per- cent.l The positive effect of Federal emission standards will be Table 4 Boynton Beach Shopping Center Construction Maximum Total Daily Pollutional Loads Lbs/Day Pollutants construction Machines Vehicular Traffic CO 90 6.0 HC 15 1.0 NOx 148 0.2 502 11 0.03 Particulates 5 0.04 Totals 269 8.07 1 E.

Therefore, ambient conditions were projected for both 1976 and 1ge6 to provide a full appraisal of the center's impact on future air quality. The following list and tables represent conclusions from the air quality analysis on mobile source pollution. The shopping center will generate an additional 12,116 pounds of pollution per day in 1976. This represents 4.9 percent of the total daily pollution from major roads in the influence area. In 1986, total daily pollutional loads from patron traffic will be 2,758 pounds per day, or 3 percent of total traffic pollutiOl' on adjacent arteries. See Table 5. Results of the dispersion analysis on pollutant type levels are given in Tables 6 through 10. These tables indicate that the maximum in~act on air pollution levels by mall traffic will occur on-site at the north side of the parking lot along Boynton Canal or south sidp of the parking lot along Boynton West Road. Under unfavorable dispersion conditions and wind from the south or from the north, maximum CO levels in the parking area in 1976 will reach 4.9 ppm or 40 percent of county standards for one hour period. In 1986, this CO concentration will decrease to 1.7 ppm or 14.2 percent of the county standard. The air pollution model study results for 8 hour CO levels in the parking area indicate a 1976 concentra- tion of 0.52 ppm. This is less than 7 percent of the county standard for an 8 hour period. In 1986, this co concentration would decrease to 0.21 ppm which is less than 3 percent of the county standard. Maximum off-site concentration will occur 50 feet from Congress Avenue. In 1976 CO concen- tration at t.his distance from the road would be 2.71 ppm or 22.6 percent of the Palm Beach County standard for a one hour period. By 1986, this will decrease to 0.38 ppm, which is only 3.2 percent of the county standard. 12 Table 5 Total Daily Vehicular Pollutants in the Influence Area of Boynton Beach Shopping Center (LbsjDay) Mall Traffic on Major Roads With Non-Si te Traffic As Planned 10% Expans ion on Major Roads Pollutants 1976 1986 1976 1986 1976 1986 CO 9,129 1,756 10,042 1. 932 185,729 59 ,438 HC 1,293 573 1,422 630 26,308 19,423 NOx 1,569 390 1,726 429 31,919 13,214 S02 51 6 56 7 1,038 196 Particulates 74 33 81 36 1,492 1,125 Tota 15 12,116 2,758 13,327 3,034 246,486 93, 396 13 <.D OJ ~ .Cl '" I- '" OJ '- "" ...." 0,..,1 UJ '" '" +J " (j) -< +J >< " Ul <( UJ (j) +J ry po: " " (j) ...-1 <lJ 'd "'" "" " >< +J (j) '" p< ry (j) "'" CJ...-; C ""UJH +JO " .....

At 400 meters, the 1976 CO level would be 1.22 ppm, only 10.2 percent of the county standard. Emission dispersion analysis showed no adverse affect on adjacent buildings or residential areas resulting from increased traffic emissions. The 1976 maximum CO concentration projected for the closest residential area is less than 10 percent of the Palm Beach County standard for a one hour period. Available historical weather data analysis, obtained from National Climatic Center, placed the occurrence of the unfavorable conditions on-site at about 0.8 percent annually or about 3 days per year. The aver- age wind speed, based on direction and stability class was 5.1 m/sec. This is significantly higher than the 1 m/sec. used in pollutant dispersion calcu- lations of this report. If the actual projected 5.1 m/sec. velocity had been used, results of the dispers- ion analysis shown in Tables 6 through 10 would be re- duced by 80 percent. Methodology, data and assumptions for calculations are described in detail, in a special section en- titled "Air Quality Sources of Data, Assumptions and Techniques" included in the Appendix of this Applica- tion. The inability to verify the ultimate size of the mall as 1,008,000 square feet as indicated, or 10 percent larger, somewhat affects air quality findings. Therefore, calculations have been made for both, and are shown in all appropriate tables. Summary The mall will contain no stationary sources of pollution and its power demands will not significantly affect off-site stationary sources. Construction will only contribute .14 ton of pollution per day--a negligible figure. Pollution from mobile sources will increase as a result of mall patron traffic, but projected 1976 CO and HC levels will be 19 reduced by 1986 when Federal emission standards are fully effective. Most important, pollutant concentrations reaching adjacent com- mercial and residential areas are within and below Federal, State and local standards for health and safety. 20 b. Water Quality (1) Effect Upon Water Resources Development of the mall will not adversely affect regional water resources or alter the quality of area watercourses due to extensive environmental controls planned for the site, including 1.5 acres of on-site water detention ponds. The impact of mall construction and operation will be detailed in the following paragraphs responding to specific State and regional DR! appli- cation directives. (a) Recharge Areas The source of potable water supply for the Boynton Beach area is wells drilled into the shallow geologic formations com- posing the non-artesian aquifer.l The main water-bearing stratum, known as the Anastasia Formation, is overlain by a thin stratum of pamlico sand, and is principally recharged by local rainfall and the water stored in the system of canals that cross the county between Lake Okeechobee and the tidal waters. The Floridan artesian aquifer is 800 to 1,000 feet below ground surface and is too brackish for potable usage. Surface run-offs from the completed project will be retained in detention ponds to extract pollutants before run-offs are discharged into the Boynton Canal. The drainage flows from the completed project will aid in recharging the Anastasia water bearing formation. (b) Water Retention Areas At the present time two low areas, forming intermittent ponds, are located in the south central portion of the site. Due to the low level terrain and high rainfall, which aver- ages about 60 inches annually, much of this portion of Palm Beach County was under water before an extensive system of 1 u. S. Geological Survey - "Appraisal of the Water Resources of Eastern Palm Beach County, Florida" - by Larry F. Land, Harry G. Rodis and James J. Schneider - Open File Report 73006, 1972. 21 canals and control structures was constructed. The system, served by pumps and storage facilities, has been built to achieve a compromise between conservation needs, drainage, irrigation and control of sea-water intrusion. Major surface water flow from this section of eastern Palm Beach County before land development and canal dredging, was south through the Hillsboro Lake Marsh, with outflow to the ocean near the Broward County line. Two canals of the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWOD) in- fluence the site. The Boynton Canal, known as C-16 down- stream, in the eentral and South Florida Flood Control District (C&SFFCD) jurisdiction, extends along the northern property line flowing eastward, passing under a 130 foot pile bent bridge at Congress Avenue. A secondary canal, Lateral Canal No. 23 (L-23), crosses the western property line 1,200 feet south of the Boynton Canal originally extended east 'passing under Congress Avenue via a 15 foot slab bridge to enter LWOD Equalizing Canal E-4. From a point 900 feet west of Congress Avenue, Canal 23 has been diverted to flow north to Boynton Canal. See Exhibit 7. Flow in Boynton Canal is regulated primarily by control structure S-9 at Lawrence Road, upstream one-half mile west of the site, and by a second control structure, S-4l, two miles east of the site at the outlet to Lake Worth. Control structures on other lateral canals and north-south oriented equalizing canals such as E-3 west of the site and E-4 to the east, also influence canal and groundwater elevations. An area of one and one-half acres of permanent ponds will be constructed for the project to trap and retain the contami- nants first flushed from paved surfaces. The ponds will also dampen peaks of runoff from the developed mall. Temporary ponding will be provided during construction to intercept sediment, thus allowing only clarified flows into adjoining drainage features. Oil and grease traps will be installed within the two auto service centers and connected to the waste water collection system. The ponds will provide a natural means of reducing nutrients. Trapped sediment and contaminants from the first flush run- off will be periodically removed, as required, and disposed of at authorized solid waste landfills. 22 (c) (d) Provisions for catching, holding, and releasing of mall first runoff on a controlled basis assures that development will not significantly affect off-site receiving waters. Withdrawals from Groundwater and Resultant No withdrawals from groundwater are required. The site will be served by the city water supply system. If it is subsequently determined that on-site wells could effectively be used for the irrigation system, this procedure may be considered at that time, subject to approval by appropriate agencies. Withdrawals from Surface Water No withdrawals from surface water are required with the exception that water utilized for sprinkling or irrigation for landscaping may be obtained from the retention ponds. (2) Discharge into Surface Waters (a) (b) The water level in the Boynton Canal is mainly regulated by rainfall and water management procedures. Hydrographs for similar canals in the LWDD indicate that the fluctuations of water levels are small. "Water levels in the canals are not affected by seasonal rainfall trends because of diversions from conservation area 1 and control operations".l Detergents and Solvents There will be no direct discharge of detergents or solvents into surface waters. Sanitary wastes will be discharged into the sewage system. A regular program of parking lot street cleaning and vacuuming will be employed to maintain a low level of area surface contamination. This will insure that materials washed from the site surface areas will be minimal volumes. Further, ponds to be constructed will significantly reduce quantities of nutrients and metals discharged to receiving canals. (See report by Dr. Charles Renn in the Appendix.) Further information, including identification of receiving bodies of water and water quality data is given in Question 20. Fuel and Oi 1 There will be no direct discharge of fuel or oil from the mall structure. Minimal fuel or oil leaked from motor 1 Ibid. 23 ___ _~ ~""'''''''''''.'-'''''' --1 .............................'-'-...- ......-vu' '--lle 1-'Gl.L.f>...LllY Gl.L.tGl. This will be retained in ponds equipped with skimmers for oil separation. (c) Sedimentation and Siltation i. Dredge and Fill Operations Construction of the project will not require dredging. On-site grading and fill operations will be accomplished to insure protection of adjacent canals. DeLails of erosion control measures are described below. ii. Erosion Temporary erosion controls will minimize sedimentation and siltation hazards during the construction period. In addition, the level topography of the site and uncompli- cated shallow cuts required for construction will reduce the runoff hazard. Permanent erosion controls are in- corporated into the design of the completed mall. Holding ponds equipped with skimmers will trap sediment. Temporary detention ponds will be provided during con- struction. Therefore, there will be no direct discharge of sediment into surface waters. (d) Surface Runoff The mall site lies within an area of approximately 72 square miles drained by the LWDD and C&SFFCD canal system. The principal canal C-16, Boynton Canal, extends along the northern property line of the site. Control of the water surface within the eastern portion of the canal system in the vicinity of the mall is regulated by C&SFFCD control structure S-4l located at the Boynton Canal discharge to Lake Worth. In the area of the mall site a water level of about 8.5 is normally maintained. Above control structure 5-9, west of Lawrence Road, normal water level in the canal system is maintained at elevation 16.0. 24 Structure 5-41 is provided with automatic gates which open to release flow when the water surface reaches elevation 8.8 mean sea level, remaining open until the water surface drops to elevation 7.9, then closing. It has been estimated that the 25 year high water in Boynton Canal at the mall site would reach elevation 10.0. Mr. Richard S. Wheelihan, Assistant Manager LWDD, confirmed this elevation from infor- mation at the district office. The 153 acre tract which includes the 92 acre mall site, presently drains to the Boynton Canal on the north, to the smaller Lateral Canal 23, which enters the site from the west and exits to the north, and to old Lateral Canal 23 on the east. A total of 119 acres drains to L-23, which flows into Boynton Canal, while 27 acres contributes flow directly to Boynton Canal. An area of 7 acres along Congress Avenue drains east through the 15 foot slab bridge of old C-23 to the Ida Canal, E-4. Estimated short term peak rates of flow from the site into the three receiving canals L-23, C-16 and old L-23 are 143, 10, and 33 cubic feet per second (cfs) for a 5 year recur- rence interval and 178, 13 and 42 cfs for a 25 year recur- rence interval. It is estimated that at times of peak flow, at structure S-4l, the existing 153 acre parcel contributes no more than 11 and 13 cubic feet per second for 5 year and 25 year recurrences, respectively. The volume of runoff will increase with development of the mall site, and the time of concentration for the local area will decrease. However, calculations show that these factors will be offset somewhat by the provisions of two holding ponds designed to receive first runoff from the developed site. This design, along with the programed operation of the C&SFFCD and LWDD, will help to increase the water surplus - the difference between rainfall and evaporation that pro- vides water available for irrigation control of groundwater levels and decrease salt water intrusion. Consequently, development will not decrease the volume of flow of on-site surface runoff. The development, as designed, should enhance the quality of area waterways by significantly reducing the levels of plant nutrient material entering the canal system. 25 (e) Therma 1 Di scharges There will be no thermal discharqes from this development. (f) Sewage Effluent Sewage generated by the shopping center will be lower in BOD and suspended solids than average municipal sewage. Treat- ment by municipal facilities, designed to accommodate higher loadings, will therefore be more efficient and result in a higher quality effluent. Details of the development's planned sewage demand and ser- vice are found in the responses to Question 25. (3) Discharges into Groundwater (a) Liquid Waste ... There will be no discharges into groundwater. No injection wells or other forms of return to groundwater will be uti- lized. Therefore, there will be no problems from chemicals or toxicity. There will be no leachate from solid wastes in the vicinity. .. (b) Solid Waste Solid waste resulting from mall construction and operation will be disposed of off-site. Solid waste will be trans- ported by private contractors to approved sanitary landfills. The only exception will be a small amount of cover which will be reused over planted soils as mulch or compost to expedite landscaping operations. Details relating to solid waste disposal are found in the responses to Question 28.

Other Effects (1) Noise (a) Applicable Noise Control Standards Federal and local the development. control standards (Palm Beach County) standards will affect The State of Florida has not adopted noise at this tine. (b) Standards and Abil ity to Meet Then! Two Federal agencies, the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) , have established noise control standards. The DOT criteria, published in PP!1 90-2, are primarily directed toward highway facilities. These stipulate acceptable noise levels for different land use classifications. See Table 11. The proposed shopping center falls into Land Use Category C, which specified that a 75 dBA level should not be exceeded more than 10 percent of the time during peak traf- fic conditions. The HUD criteria, set forth in HUD Circular 1390.2, states that an exterior noise level of 65 dBA should not be exceeded more than 8 out of every 24 hours. Palm Beach County's acoustic criteria regulate stationary noise sources and maximum noise permitted by individual or industrial operations. Noise resulting from motor vehicle operations is excluded from the Palm Beach County regulations. Operations within the enclosed shopping mall will not generate noise. However, noise resulting from traffic generated by the development both on and off site has been evaluated. The development will meet Federal noise standards. Construc- tion of the mall and traffic generated by the mall represent the only significant increases in ambient acoustic conditions. Construction procedures will be controlled to minimize noise impact. The influence of Congress Avenue traffic dominates ambient conditions. Increases in traffic will result in small increases 28 if) if) OJ "' "' OJ ..... OJ .-" ..c: "' ... ..c: :>. "' ... U "t:l 0 u '"' '" '" OJ ... " 00 '"' '" OJ 0 OJ 0.... " " OJ " ".c ... ...

AS will be shown, increases in traffic on adjacent arteries will produce levEls below the established criteria. Study Data Defining Scope of ~oise Problem - Ambient conditions were measured on-site and along adjacent roadways. Predicted future traffic volumes on adjacent road- ways were used to determine expected acoustic levels. In order to obtain a measure of comparison with predicted acoustic levels once the project is developed, acoustic conditions were measured at shopping centers of approximately the same size as the proposed mall. Traffic projections for the shopping center were based on the initial traffic analysis for the site prepared by Barton- Aschman Associates, consulting traffic engineers. In order to estimate maximum acoustic impact, future projections assumed completion of all planned highway improvements and peak traffic volumes. Noise Abatement Technology Incorporated in Design Construction of the mall buildings will incorporate a number of acoustic control techniques. These include the use of carpeting, acoustic ceilings, and sound dampening wall materials to absorb noise. The mall will be enclosed and air-conditioned to prevent unwanted noise from entering or leaving the shopping areas. Increase Over Ambient i'loise Background On-site ambient acoustic conditions at a distance of 100 feet from Congress Avenue are approximately 60 dBA for L10 and 54 dBA for L50. L10 and L50 noise levels are those levels exceeded 10 and 50 percent of the time, respectively. The shopping center itself is not considered a noise source. Traffic entering and exiting the parking areas will be the primary source of noise generation on-site. Autos and trucks bound for or leaving the facility on area arteries will be the sole source of off-site noise. Mall generated per day (vpd). traffic is Estimates estimated to total 17,500 vehicles of patrons' directional approach 30 indicate that mall developnent will add 500 vehicles to peak hour volumes on Conqress Avenue. NaIl g-enerated traffic will increase acoustic levels adjacent to these roadways by a maxi- nU/l1 of 4 dBA. Thus, the increase in ambient acoustic levels resulting from the project will be mlnor and noise levels adjacent to the site will continue to comply with Federal criteria. In order to deterraine whether on-site conditions comply with criteria, acoustic readings were taken in the parking areas and adjacent to boundary lines at four comparable shopping center developments. Results froM the parking areas indicated L10 levels ranged from 54 to 58 dBA. At the lot lines, the L10 levels ranged from 50 to 54 dBA. These provided an indi- cation of the proposed Mall's acoustic iMpact. It should be noted that the primary source of noise from the site is auto traffic on the parking lot. Further, acoustic levels vary accordin~ to the traffic on adjacent roadways. Therefore, the measurements obtained at the shoppino centers mentioned above vary according to traffic volumes on their adjacent roads. Construction of the project is scheduled to co~ence in the spring of 1975 and should be cOMpleted in the fall of 1976, a period of 18 months. During the construction period, on-site noise levels will rise, but will have no appreciable affect on the site due to its generally undeveloped nature. Residences are located to the north and west of the proposed mall. Construction noise levels in these areas will increase above ambient levels, but will be of short-term duration, returning to normal levels once construction has been com- pleted. (2) Radiation Not Applicable 31 20. a. Natural Resources Influencing Development Natural resources influence shopping center development only insofar as they generate population growth in any given market area. The proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, the region's superior climate, and its potable water supply are the primary natural resources which have contributed to population growth in the South Florida region. Project development will not detrimentally affect the continued existence of these resources. b. Impact on the Following (1) Topography The topography of the site is flat and fairly uniform. Elevations range from 10 to 15 feet above mean sea level. Topographic relief is small, tracing back to an old dune- interdune system. Major topographic features include the ponds and canals with associated spoil banks. Differences in on-site drainage reflect subtle topographic changes related to the dune system with poorly drained areas repre- senting interdune depressions. In general, the eastern half of the site is wet and poorly drained. The western half--excepting the two ponds in the south-central section--is relatively dry and well-drained. Complete drainage plans are shown in Exhibit 8. Construction will not cause the loss of any rare or valued topographic features. Existing drainage patterns may be somewhat altered, but 1.5 surface acres of holding ponds will mitigate off-site alteration. Erosion problems will be minimal due to the flatness of terrain, the sandy nature of site soils and the spoil banks of surrounding canals which act as natural runoff barriers. In addition, temporary and permanent erosion controls are planned. (2) Natural Vegetation The site is currently used as pasture.

SCALE o 500 P.\UI BIOTIC COMMUNITIES BARTOLO CORPORA no~ ElJW\RDJ. I.k Seven major biotic communities were found on the site. These are located in Exhibit 5. A brief narrative of vegetation found in each community follows. Moist Pastures (MP) occupy the eastern half of the tract. This poorly drained acreage is almost completely dominated by fennel (Eupatorium leptophyllum), borreria (Borre ria terminalis), and'ludwigia (Ludwigia octovalis). NUmerous sedges (Cyperus rotundus, ~. erythrorhizos, ~. pseudovegetatus, Rhynchospora), water pennywort (Hydrocotyle bonaricasis), purslane (Portulaca oleracea), and grasses such as broomsedges (Andropogon virginicus), ~. ternarius) are also present. Less important species observed include pickerelweed (pontederia lanceolata), maidencane (panicum hemitomum), umbrella grass (Fuirena squarrosa), smartweeds (polygonum pensylvanicum, ~. punctatum), foxtail grass (Setaria geniculata) , meadow beauty (Rhexia nashii), goldenrods (Solidago spp.), day flower (Commelina erecta), painted leaf (Euphorbia heterophylla), Aster sp., horseweed (Erigeron candense), Richardia (Richardia scabra), and many others. Dry Pastures (DP) occupy the western half of the site. While essentially the same species found in moist pasture were observed, dominant species differ considerably and the total density (number of stems per unit acre) is less. The grasses, natal grass (Rhynchelytrum repens) and love grass (Eragrostis sp.) are dominant with sandbur (Cenchrus incertus), golden aster (Heterotheca subaxillaris), and beggar tick (Bidens pilosa) forming the ground cover. Two shrubby, perennial herbs are very important throughout this area, Caesar weed (Urena lobata) , and sida (Sida cordi folia) . All of these species are fairly typical of disturbed areas or waste places. Only a few individuals of slash pine (Pinus elliottii), blue stem palmetto (Sabal minor), and cabbage palmetto (Sabal palmetto) occur to the south and east of the small canals that separate the northwest corner of the site from the rest. Other species 33 present on the dry pastures were prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) I horseweeds, sandbur, and golden- rods. Ponds (P) are found in the south-central portion of the tract. The two ponds, although completely shaded by surrounding shrub and tree species, support maidencane, several sedges previously mentioned, rushes, bulltongue (Saggitaria lancifolia), and ludwigia among other species. Shrub Thicket (ST) surrounding the ponds is dominated by Brizilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia). Additional plants intermingling with these two species include ludwigia, elder- berry (Sambucus simpsonii), climbing hempweed (Mikana scandens), vine milkweed (Cynanchum palustre), an occasional wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera), and silverling (Baccharis halimifolia) shrubs. One Australian pine tree (Casurina equisetifolia) wa~ observed. Pine Savanna (PS), located in the northwest quadrant, would--given time--probably become a form of pine flatwoods through secondary suc- cession. This biotic community has developed an intermittent canopy of slash pine and a few scattered blue stem palmetto. The main ground cover is grass, including crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), three-awn grass (Aristida sp.) , and crowfoot grass (Dactylostenium aegyptium) , along with large patches covered by vines. The latter species are wild balsam apple (Momordica charantia), a vetch (Vicia s~.), and Virginia creeper (parthenocissus quinquefolia). Other species found scattered in this area are rnaiden- cane, pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), beauty berry (Callicarpa americana), sida, tea-weed (Sida acuta), and the escaped Madascar periwinkle (Vinca repens). Caesar weed grows in thick clumps around the base of some pines and is scattered elsewhere. The most striking species in these stands are large clones of prickly pear up to ten feet across and four to five feet high. Many species dominant in the pastures were also present to a lesser extent. 34 Canals (c) were completely overgrown by water hyacinth (Eichornia eras sipes) , ludwigia, and smartweeds. Fence Row (F) located on the southern border consisted principally of melaleuca trees, Brazilian pepper shrubs, and a host of herbaceous species, such as beggar tick, golden aster, and painted leaf. Project construction will almost totally alter the site's natural state. However, tree and ground cover to be removed are neither rare nor of any great esthetic value to the area. Alterations in on-site hydrology will not adversely affect natural growth or maintenance needs of remaining vegetation and new landscaped areas on-site. The level topography of the site, characteristics of site soils and temporary and permanent erosion controls planned for the project will limit siltation and sedimentation hazards. Buffer areas will be provided around the perimeter of the property. Native materials will be used to shield the mall from residential areas and provide a scenic transition between the mall and its surrounding area. The holding ponds will be landscaped, thus providing esthetic as well as environmental enhancement. In addition to perimeter vegetation, tree and ground cover will be planted adjacent to the mall and at intervals within the parking area. Holding ponds and provisions to clean and sweep parking lots will maximize nutrient uptake and minimize impact on the quality of off-site receiving waters. (3) Animal Life Field reconnaissance of the site found very few animals or their signs. The limited diversity of vegetative cover on-site indicates that faunal species composition would not be very omniferious. The tract lacks the large expanses of ponds, lakes, swamp or forest essential to support a diversity of reptiles, mammals, amphibians or birds. While few animals were observed during reconnaissance, many of the larger mammals known to inhabit the site are nocturnal. 35 These include raccoons, opossums and skunks. Other species may forage the site for food, but do not nest or breed in the area. An inventory of mammals, birds, reptiles a~d amphibians observed on-site is found in the Appendix of this application. Generally, it can be concluded that the site neither affords unique habitat nor supports significant fauna. Construction will remove much of the site's habitat and some tra~sient mortality will inevitably result. The impact of dislocated wildlife on adjacent habitat depends on the type and number of species it presently supports. Theoretically, the invading species may: Completely displace the original species. May occupy an unfilled niche. May partition a niche with a pre-existing species. However, limiting factors such as food and sufficient physical space are of a finite nature so that invading species encounter severe barriers in establishing themselves. Because the surrounding area can only support a limited population, most likely this density will remain after development, and there will be no substantial increase from the displaced species. Perimeter landscaped borders will provide some support to resident wildlife. (4) Aquatic Life Wetlands and water areas on the site will be removed or relocated during construction. The ponds will be filled and covered; the canal shortened and relocated at the mall's western boundary. See Exhibit 2, the Site Plan. These do not represent valued aquatic habitat. The ponds are rapidly filling with detritus from surrounding plants and will not last long nor support typically aquatic life. In fact, they are in rapid succession toward a shrub thicket community. The small canals are also completely overgrown. 36 Boynton canal borders the mall's northern perimeter. According to Mr. Dwight Goforth of the Florida State Game and Fish Administration, the larger canals in Palm Beach County general- ly support fairly diverse populations of fish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. The high level of aquatic vegetation normally occurring in the canals and supported by the high nutrient content in the daily discharges from domestic as well as industrial sources, provides habitat for these organisms. A list of the various species indigenous to the canal system is provided in the Appendix. Site development should not introduce any new chemical or biological elements into the Boynton Canal's aquatic environ- ment. The site's drainage flow will increase as a result of development and runoff from the parking lots will contain minute quantities of nutrients, heavy metals, oils and grease. However, water quality controls are planned. These include: Cleaning and sweeping the parking lots. Provision of 1.5 acres of holdinq ponds to trap first flush runoff. Detention to reduce sediment and heavy metal concentrations a Skimmers, located at weirs, to dispose of oils and grease. Consequently, on-site runoff discharged into the off-site large canal system should not significantly alter existing water quality in the canal system nor adversely affect its aquatic life. (5) Endangered Speci es Site inspection indicates that no endangered species or Florida endemics exist on the tract. 37 (6) Soils (~ Description of Soils si te soils are classified as peats and mucks or wet sandy soils. All soils are underlain by limestone. Exhibit 6 shows the location of soil types on-site. Table 12 provides a summary of site soil characteristics. Everglades peaty muck is the predominant soil type occupying well over half the site. Peat and muck soils have been formed from partly decayed plant material. These soils are difficult to cultivate or develop. Special measures are required to insure proper drainage, water control and mainte- nance of soil fertility. All peat and muck soils are dark brown to nearly black in color. They are formed in marshes or swamps from organic material with some admixture of mineral soil in the case of the muck. Peat consists of 65 percent or more of plant remains with relatively little mineral matter. Muck contains 25 to 65 percent organic material mixed with sand, silt and clay. Peaty muck, such as the site's Everglades peaty muck, is usually a thin layer of peat over muck. The organic material may rest directly on the limestone or on an intermediate layer of sand or marl. These differences, especially depth of the organic material and nature of the immediately under- lying layer determine the capability of the land for farming and other uses, subject to establishment of adequate water control measures. Everglades peaty muck contains 10 to 15 percent mineral matter, and the surface layer rests on brown, fibrous felty peat. About 91 percent of this soil is more than five feet deep. The balance of the site is covered by wet sandy soils. In order of importance, these are Immokalee fine sand, Davie mucky fine sand and Arzell fine sand. These are too wet for cultivation without artificial water control for drainage and irrigation. Immokalee fine sand is a gray or dark gray soil underlain by lighter colored fine sand.

FLORID \ SITE SOilS MAP I !)\\ I{JI,1 !)d~\RII)U)lOI{I")R\n'),'\J EXHIBIT 6, (b) (c) beneatn the surfac~. This dark layer may rest on limestone or on white sand. The Davie mucky fine sand is a dark gray to black soil under- lain by light colored sandy subsoil. Usually there is lime- stone at less than four feet. It contains considerable organic materi~l, and can be successfully cultivated if careful water control measures are implemented. Arzell fine sand is a light gray, nearly white soil, underlain by white fine Sill1d over incoherent white limestone. It has poor surface drainage, and is very low in organic material content. The site's water table ranges from near the surface to a depth of 8 feet. The duration of the wet season is from June to November. Sources of information used in the preceding response and on-site boring results are included in the Appendix of this application. Dus t Poten ti a 1 Dust hazards will be minimal. Site soils are naturally moist due to their high organic content and the tract's elevated water table. Should a dry spell occur during excavation, exposed soils will be treated with water and stabilized. No dust palliatives will be required due to the prevailing moist conditions on-site which act as a natural dust retardant. Erosion Potential of the Soils Erosion problems will be minimal due to the site's topography, soil characteristics and the development's relatively unoom- plicated excavation requirements. Erodibility relates directly to ground slope up to approxi- mately 20 degrees, peaks at approximately 40 degrees and then decreases. Slopes on-site do not exceed one percent and excavation requires only shallow cuts. Therefore, the possibility of erosion is minimized. 41 Erosion is also affected by the infiltration capacity of the soil. Site soils have high organic content and fair to good verticle water movement. Horizontal water movement will be very slow due to the flatness and cover characteristics of the site. Finally, extensive erosion controls are planned prior to, during and after construction. Those include sod ditch checks; erosion check dams; straw and filter barriers; temporary fill berms and slope drains; ditch sediment traps; temporary and permanent retention ponds; and spoil banks on surrounding canals. The erosion hazard is limited to the excavation period when site soils are exposed prior to paving and the planting of cover. In summary, the erosion impact of development is anticipated to be minimal due to the following: Level site topography with slopes averaging less than one percent which are not conducive to silt and sediment transport. Moisture retention properties of site soils which provide a cohesive bond not conducive to particle transport. Extensive temporary and permanent erosion controls incorporated into construction procedures and facility design. Retention or development of perimeter biotics which will act as natural erosion barriers. Retention of spoil banks surrounding canals that will halt runoff. 42 (d) Permeability of Soils The surface drainage characteristics of all principal on-site soils is poor. This is indicative of high organic content which retains moisture and retards erosion. Internal drainage indicating the permeability of subsurface soils is fair for Everglades peaty muck and Immokalee fine sand; good for Davie mucky fine sand, and Arzell fine sand. Table 13 indicates the shrink-swell potential, presumptive bearing value, embankment suitability and corrosion potential of site soils.

S. Soil Conservation District (7) Lakes, Rivers, Streams, Creeks, Swamps, Marshes and Their Floodplains The Boynton Canal traverses the site's northern boundary and merges with Canal E-4 east of Congress Avenue. Lake Osborne is 43 2.4 miles upstream and Lake Ida is 3.2 miles downstream of the E-4 and Boynton Canal confluence. These canals are owned and operated by the Lake Worth Drainage District. The Boynton Canal continues east from its confluence with E-4 to empty into the Intercoastal Waterway at Lake Worth. Canal E-4 flows south to Lake Ida before its next confluence with an east- west canal--15--south of Delray Beach. Lateral canals flow into the Intercoastal Waterway which opens into the Atlantic Ocean at the Boca Raton Inlet, south of Lake Boca Raton. Table 14 indicates water quality in Boynton Canal. The closest significant marsh area to the site is the Hillsboro Lakes Marsh, Conservation Area No.1, nine miles west of the site. While development will increase runoff, 1.5 acres of ponding will dampen peak flow and prevent impaction of the canal system. Consequently, none of the above areas or their associated eco- systems will be significantly altered by the mall's construction. (8) Historical and Archeological Sites Information obtained from the Boynton Beach Historical Society indicates that there are no historical or archeological sites within or adjacent to the proposed site. A letter to the Director of the Boynton Beach Historical Society is includ- ed in the Appendix. (9) Park and Recreat; on Areas TwO golf courses represent the largest open space areas in proximity to the site. These are the Leisureville Golf Course, south of New Boynton Road and southwest of the site; and the Cypress Creek Country Club, at the northeast intersection of Boynton West Road and Military Trail--l.5 miles west of the site. In addition, the following neighborhood parks, operated by Boynton Beach, are located east of Congress Avenue. 44 The closest regional park is the 665-acre John Prince Memorial Park which borders Lake Osborne 2.~ miles north of the site. A facility inventory of Palm Beach County park areas, including John Prince Memorial Park, is found in the Appendix of this application. There mall. site. site. are no State or National parks in proximity to the proposed The closest conservation area is nine miles west of the The closest public beach area is 2.75 miles east of the While development of a regional shopping center will increase traffic, it will largely be confined to major arteries and not adversely affect residential streets adjacent to neighborhood parks. Further, air quality and acoustic impact studies indicate that shopping center traffic will not generate air or noise pollution levels exceeding Federal standards for park and recre- ation areas a Therefore, existing and planned park facilities should not be affected by either the construction or operation of the proposed mall. (10) Geo logy Palm Beach County is underlain by geologic formations grouped into three hydrologic units. The upper shallow non-artesian aquifer lying below the surficial sands and topsoil consists of Pamlico Sand, Anastasia Formation, Miami Oolite and Fort Thompson Formation of Pleistocene age and the lower Culoosa- hatchee Marl of Pliocene age. The second hydrologic unit consists of the Tamiami Formation and a portion of the Hawthorne Formation which form the confining beds for the lower artesian aquifer. This lower aquifer con- sists of the lower portion of the Hawthorne Formation and the Tampa Limestone of Miocene age, the Suwannee Limestone of Oligocene age, the Ocala Group and the Avon Park Limestone of Eocene Age. See Table 15 for details of the various formations. c. Clearing and Restoration Procedures A border of vegetation will be maintained around the site in conformance with the Palm Beach County landscape ordinance. 47 >< Ul ill >< ..., " :. ."

Interior landscaping wlll be ennanced by the two holding ponds planned for the site. The borders of the ponds will be planted with indigenous trees, shrubs and flowering plants to create a lagoon like or tropical pool effect. Natural areas designated for preservation will be protect~d by suitable barriers during construction. Two disposal methods grubbing operations. are planned for solid waste from clearing and These are: Transportation to an approved sanitary landfill in accordance with local and county procedures. This will apply to the greater portion of cleared material. Retention and re-use on site as mulch and compost. This will apply to only a small amount of cleared natural material. Procedures to minimize construction impact include extensive ero- sion controls and use of water as a dust preventative, should it be necessary. Temporary water retention ponds will trap sediment and regulate drainage flow. The construction period is of relatively brief duration--1S months in total--and the time of maximum environmental hazard, when exca- vated soils are exposed, will be considerably shorter. Restoration, in fact, will be accomplished in conjunction with mall construction. Landscape design for the mall calls for the extensive use of native materials which will harmonize the development with off-site esthetic values. 49 B. IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY OF THE REGION 21. a. Percent of Project Cost Spent in Region Approximately 40-75 percent of the total project cost will be spent within the region. This estimate applies to both employment costs and capital goods expenditures. b. Anticipated Annual Development Expenditures Initial development cost is estimated to be $20 million over a two-year period--or $10 million expended annually. A total of $1 million will be spent in the subsequent three-year period. A breakdown of costs is listed below: Labor Materials l 'j' r Total 1st year $5,600,000 $3,800,000 $600,000 $10,000,000 2nd year 5,600,000 3,800,000 6UO,OOO 10,000,000 3rd year 240,000 50,000 10,000 300,000 4th year 310,000 75,000 15,000 400,000 5th year 250,000 40,000 10,000 300,000 Approximately $2 million will be spent for land acquisition. c. Cost per Unit The average yearly rent per square foot is estimated to be approxi- mately $7.50 for chain department stores and $10.00 per square foot for specialty stores and shops.l d. Tax Status The proposed development will pay property and other taxes. The property taxes for the past two years are as follows: 1972 1973 $1,987 $1,987 This includes the tract to be developed as well as those areas marked "not included" on Site Plan. 1 Source: National Mall Monitor. 50 e. Tax Yield The estimated total tax yield to mu~icipal, county and State governments over the next five years is estimated to be $12.1 million, or an average of $2.4 million per year. The five-year totals for each tax category are listed below: Real Property Taxes $ 2,874,000 (Assuming 5% annual increase in tax rate) Tangible Personal Property 1,724,000 Sales Tax 6,300,000 Rental, Use and Other Taxes 1,250,000 Total $12,148,000 "' Financial Assistance The proposed project will not receive any Federal, State, or local assistance. g. Extent of Displacement As a result of the proposed project, one residential structure will be displaced. h. Market Study A formal market study was not prepared for the site. However, a number of indicators, including anticipated regional growth, future traffic access, etc., establish limits of the maIl's market area. Further information concerning the mall's market area is included in the traffic analysis report prepared by Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois. ']1 The feasibility of a successful shopping center on the site was detel~ined by the following factors: Growth: Palm Beach County is one of the fastest growing areas in Florida. The Area Planning Board of Palm Beach County's 1973 Maps and Charts publi- cation was the source of population projections. This report indicates that the county's population will more than double in the decade between 1970 and 1980. The planning sub-area including the site, shown to have a population of 22,125 in 1970, is projected to reach 55,200 by 1980. The market area within 20 minutes driving time to the site includes four sub-areas, shown to have a 1970 population of 146,765 and a projected ~980 population of 350,500. Need: There are at present no shopping malls in the Boynton Beach area. The closest existing regional shopping center is the Palm Beach mall, approximate- ly 13 miles north of the site in West Pnlm Beach. A future major shopping center is also ~roposed 23 miles south of the site in Lauderdale Lakes. (Broward County) The need for shopping area development is recognized in the Palm Beach County Land Use Plan. While the site is not designated for a shopping center, it conforms to the plan's conceptual objective, which is to establish a shopping center adjacent to Congress Avenue in proximity to arteries with inter- changes with 1-95. Access: Access is a critical factor. The site affords multiple east-west and north-south options. This includes Boynton West Road, New Boynton Road, Congress Avenue and planned 1-95. The West Palm Beach Urban Area Transportation Study provided current (March, 1973) and projected (1985) average daily traffic (ADT) counts. Current highway improve- ment plans, proposals and construction schedules were obtainedfro~ the Florida Department of Transportation, the West Palm Beach County Highway Department and the West Palm Beach Urban Area Transportation Study. 52 Assumptions regarding the proposed shopping center's market area were based on the existing and proposed roadway network, location of competing shopping areas and rel~tive travel times from the site. Population living within a ten-minute travel time to the site was considered 100 percent effective. Population requiring an 11 to 20-minute travel time to the site was considered 50 per- cent effective as potential mall patrons. Economic measurement of demand is shown in projected mall sales-- approximately $68,000,000 annually. As a basis for comparison, 1972 sales at Palm Beach Mall were $60,000,000. Annual sales projected for the proposed Lauderdale Lakes Mall in Broward County is $49,000,000. In using these figures, it is noted that the Palm Beach Mall has a gross leasable area (GLA) of 882,400 square feet and the GLA planned for the Lauderdale Lakes Mall is 720,500 square feet. 53 22. a. Anticipated Employment Average The mall should employ an average of 2,100 persons. The majority of all employees will be in retail sales. The balance of direct employment will be in services supporting mall operations. This includes security and maintenance personnel; delivery service for stores; and restaurant and food service personnel. Contract con- struction personnel will be employed only during the construction period. b. Source of Employment Approximately 90 percent of th2 employees will be recruited from within 25 miles of the development. c. Length of Employment The average employment length experienl~d at a comparable mall in Palm Beach, Florida, is thre~ years. Ten~orary employees will be hired during peak shopping seasons, such as Christmas and Easter. d. Work Shifts Three shifts are presently planned--morning, afternoon and evening, with approximately 1,100, 1,260 and 775 employees, respectively. e. Special Training Requirements Approximately ten percent of the employees will require special education and/or experience. Examples include mall electricians; executive management of department stores; retail merchandise buyers and office equipment operators. f. Training Facilities Approximately 90 percent of the employees will have on-the-job training at mall stores. 54 g. Estimated Employment The estimated employment at the Boy~ton Beach Mall, according to income categories is as follows: Less than $3,999 $4,000 to $5,999 $6,000 to $9,999 $10,000 to $14,999 $15,000 and over 630 525 683 196 66 Total Employment 2,100 h. Estimated Annual Payroll The estimated annual mall payroll will be approximately $12.7 million. 55 23. a. Occupants of Facil ity (1) Type Approximately 97 percent of the gross leasable area (GLA) will be occupied by retail sale tenants. The remaining three percent of the space will be taken by service-oriented tenants. (2) Geographic Origin of Occupant The following listing indicates the area from which the occupant will be drawn. Department Stores Specialty Stores The County Outside County but within the region Out of the Region 50% 80% 0% 50% 10% 10% 100% 100% b. Relationship to County The following represents an estimate of the type and source of retail tenants. Department Stores Specialty Stores New Company in County New Branch in County Relocation of existing Company 50% 50% 20% 70% 0% 10% 100% 100% 56 This indicates that all major department store operations and 90 percent of all specialty store operations represent new employment opportunities. Only ten percent of specialty store operations involve a transfer of personnel and release of space elsewhere in the county. c. Type of Customers Approximately 95 percent of potential customers are estimated to be individual consumers. The balance--five percent--will be commercial establishments. 57 24. a. Type of Development Resulting from Project The project will develop a shopping center on the site as indicated on the Site Plan in Exhibit 2. This conforms with Palm Beach County future land use objectives which call for a shopping area on Congress Avenue in the general area. Approximately 50 acres of the site bordering Congress Avenue will not be developed in connection with the shopping center. Future use of this land has not been determined but professional offices or a bank branch afford examples of possible limited commercial development which would be consistent with shopping center opera- tions as well as local land regional planning goals. In any case future on-site development wo~ld conform to all local and county land use regulations. Off-site development will be governed by local zoning ordinances and the county's comprehensive land use plan more than it will be influenced by the presence of the mall. The shopping center does not require that supportive services or industries be located in proximity to the site. The shopping center may, in fact, absorb many retail tenants seek- ing to locate in the area. This would reduce pressure for commer- cial zoning and subsequent random or scattered commercial develop- ment which would adversely affect traffic arteries. Further, the mall will provide convenience and shoppers goods' outlets essential to support the low and medium density residential development called for in future land use plans. Therefore, it can be assumed that the project will result in development which conforms to local and county planning objectives. The project will not introduce or stimulate unwanted types of development in the area. b. Industrial Linkages within Region The only absolute industrial requirements within the region involve utilities and energy resources, i.e., telephone and electricity. Use of fuel for the mall's heating system depends on the availa- bility of gas resources and is not an imperative. Raw materials, labor and equipment for construction will be drawn from the region as feasible and available. Capital material costs for the project are estimated to be $7.8 million and labor costs $12.0 million. Other expenditures will add an additional $1.2 million to the total project cost. 58 Maintenance supplies for the mall and retail occupants will gener- ally be purchased within the region. Suppliers and sources of retail goods vary according to type Jf retail outlet and corporate procedures. Generally, department store and national chain specialty store merchandise--hard and soft lines--is purchased and supplied out of State. This may also apply to some larger regional or local specialty stores or those outlets may rely on regional wholesalers. Finally, some specialty stores may focus on local crafts or products. In other words, demand on local retail suppliers will largely depend on the mall's ultimate tenants. c. Suppliers and Supporting Industries Currently Ayailable in Region As indicated above, all essential industries--electric and telephone services--are available in the region. Electric service will be provided by the Florida Power and Light Company. Telephone service will be provided by the Southern Bell Telephone Company. Due to the natural gas shortages in the area, electricity seems the most feasible power source for the mall's heating system. In terms of construction, the developer will provide a resident super- visor and staff. The shopping mall, however, will be constructed by contractors located within the region. Mall operations do not require the location of new suppliers, sup- portive services or industry in proximity to the site. Essentially, the proposed shopping center will require comparable supportive services to those provided for the Palm Beach Mall. These already exist in the region. Unquestionably, the Boynton Beach Mall will stimulate sales of these industries and encourage inventory, personnel or possibly capital expansion. d. Development's Impact on Potential Economic Growth The mall provides services, revenues and employment opportunities consistent with local and regional economic development objectives. The project represents an economic asset to the public and private sector of the local economy. Operation of the completed mall represents 20 percent new specialty stores in the county; 50 percent additional department store branches and 70 percent additional specialty store branches. Only 10 percent of mall tenants will be specialty store's relocating rather than expanding. 59 The project will provide approximately 2,100 new permanent employ- ment opportunities with an estimated annual payroll in the area of $12.7 million. In addition, the mall will generate numerous spin- off jobs in support and service industries. The shopping center represents a $21 million capital investment with an estimated annual tax yield of $2.4 million. While the mall will stimulate the regional economy, it is not anti- cipated to encourage unwanted development in the site area. Con- versely, provision of multiple retail convenience and comparison shoppers goods' outlets within a single complex should reduce the need and demand for random commercial development in t~e area. Further, mall operations do not require suppliers or services to be located in proximity to the site. Finally, the area is protected by local zoning ordinances and the county master land use plan. Any future development would be governed by these regulations. Raw materials, labor and equipment for construction will be drawn from the region as feasible and available. 60 C. 25. IMPACT ON THE PUBLIC FACILITIES OF THE REGION Sanitary Sewers a. Amount of Sewage and Source of Treatment Estimates of average daily sewage generation for the proposed mall are based on sewer usage of comparable sized shopping centers at other locations in the State of Florida. Presuming a gross leasable area of 1,108,000 square feet and a demand of 0.11 gallons per square foot per day (gals/sf/day), the mall's estimated average daily sewage flow will be 0.122 million gallons per day (mgd). It must be emphasized that this figure represents absolute maximum demand since it is calculated for a gross leasable area which is 10 percent higher than the actual pro- posed development. Raw waste and sewage effluent generated by the mall will be primari- ly domestic sewage waste containing approximately 200 ppm, 5-day BOD. The City of Boynton Beach has an existing sewage treatment plant situated near the intersection of the Boynton Canal and Interstate 95, a distance of approximately 1 mile to the east of the site of the proposed shopping center. The plant presently has a capacity of 3.2 mgd providing secondary treatment with an efficiency of approximately 90 percent BOD removal. Treated effluent flows by gravity through a 24-inch outfall for disposal into Lake Worth. In 1972 it was estimated that daily sewage flows to the treatment facility were averaging about 2.8 mgd. As a result of the steady growth rate of the area, it is estimated that average sewage flows now approximate the present capacity of the treatment plant and have exceeded the present capacity on occasional peak days. The City is now planning to enlarge the treatment plant to a total capacity of 4.45 mgd through the addition of an interim package plant expected to be operational early in 1975. The interim water quality management plan for Palm Beach County, prepared by the Palm Beach Area Planning Board, dated November, 1973, recommended the construction of a wastewater treatment plant at Delray Beach to serve the South-Central Wastewater Management Region. This regional facility would serve Boynton Beach and would permit eventual phasing out of all private and public treatment facilities 61 in the City of Boynton Beach and its western reserve annexation area. The main objective of the regional plan is to eliminate the discharge of treated effluent to Lake Worth and direct it to the ocean via the Delray ocean outfall. Under the plan, the City of Boynton Beach would provide collection and transmission systems that would eventually direct all raw sewage to the proposed regional treatment plant. The new Delray treatment plant is planned to be operational by 1976 and will provide secondary treatment with treated effluent discharging to the ocean. Initial capacity will be 12 mgd, of which 6 mgd will be reserved for the City of Boynton Beach. The capacity of the Delray treatment plant is programmed to be expanded to 21 mgd by 1979 and to 30 mgd by 1986. An additional capacity of 6 to 8 mgd will be included in the expansion program to accommodate future growth of Boynton Beach. In the initial stages, under the regional plan, the existing Boynton Beach treatment plant will be connected to an aerated equalizing tank facility and treated effluent will be discharged directly to the Delray Beach ocean outfall. Eventually, the Boynton Beach sewage treatment plant will'be phased out and all raw sewage col- lected in Boynton Beach service area will be discharged to the Delray plant and ocean outfall. A lift station will be constructed at Boynton Beach treatment plant site and a 24-inch force main will be constructed a distance of approximately 28,000 feet to the new Delray treatment plant. This work is planned concurrently with the construction of the Delray treatment plant. To serve the area west of Congress Avenue, a new 36-inch gravity sewer is planned along Congress Avenue from N. W. 2nd Avenue to the south City limits. Included in this in- stallation will be two 6 mgd lift stations and a 24-inch force main connecting to the proposed Delray regional sewage treatment plant. The main portion of the existing Boynb~n Beach sewage collection system serves the area to the east of the Seaboard Coastline Rail- road. The remaining portion serves the developed areas south of Boynton Canal between the railroad and Congress Avenue. Existing developments west of Congress Avenue are presently served by package treatment plants. A new planned unit development being constructed on the Drexel Tract, situated to the west of the shopping center site, is to be served by a pumping station with a I6-inch force main extending along N. W. 2nd Avenue, Congress Avenue and Boynton West Road to the municipal treatment plant. The l6-inch force main is to be City owned and maintained and is expected to be operational in 1974. 62 The shopping center site, situated in the area west of Congress Avenue, will be served by a pumping station with a force main dis- charging into the proposed l6-inch force main in Congress Avenue. In addition, the City is planning to construct a pumping station to the west of the site with a second l6-inch force main in the vici- nity of the shopping center site which will also be available as a point of discharge. Based on completion schedules and the magnitude of various sewer system improvements planned by the City and the South-Central Region inter-local authority, the City anticipates no problem in accommo- dating the estimated daily sewage demands of the shopping center by opening date in the fall of 1976. A memorandum to this effect is included in the Appendix of this Application. A letter of reply from the City Manager is also included in the Appendix. b. Adequate Facilities Consistent with Stages of Development The capacity of the existing Boynton Beach sewage collection and treatment facilities, with the addition of the interim package plant, will have sufficient capacity to accommodate the shopping center site by opening date in the fall of 1976. The average daily sewage demands of the shopping center are equivalent to those projected for commercial land use and less than those projected for low density residential land use (4 dwelling units per acre). The Palm Beach County Land Use Plan, dated 1972, designates the shopping center site for future commercial or low-density resi- dential land use. Capacity to meet such demands has been included in public sewer improvement programs. On-site sanitary sewage demands during mall construction will be limited to construction workers' needs. Temporary toilet facili- ties, connected to the existing sewer system, will be provided by the contractors. c. Relation to City and Regional Sewage Treatment Objectives The on-site sewer collection system for the shopping center will be connected to the existing City sewer system. Planned improve- ments to the City sewer system will be completed prior to opening of the shopping center. Planned additional improvements to the City and regional sewer systems assure capacity to accommodate site- generated sewage flows. d. Assurance of Performance Issuance of the building permit for construction of the shopping center will be contingent upon connection to the public sewer system. In the unlikely event that the proposed sewer improvements are not completed prior to the scheduled opening of the shopping mall, an interim on-site package plant will be considered on a temporary basis. This temporary alternative method of waste water treatment would be subject to review and approval by appropriate agencies. 26. a. Separate Storm and Sanitary Sewers An independent storrnwater sewer systere will be provided to serve the mall site. The maIlls sanitary sewage requirements will be served by a connection to the existing Boynton Bench sewerage system which is planned for enlargement to 4.45 mgd capacity in 1975. b. Relation to County and Regional Plans The shopping mall site is located in the LWOD immediately south of Boynton Canal, known as C-16 downstream and is cut by Lateral Canal 23 (L-23). Development of the site will include the relocation of L-23 to turn north along the western property line to discharge into C-16 1,500 feet west of its existing terminus. This relocation will not alter the operation of the canal system in the area. As stated earlier, the canal system is regulated by C & SFFCD structure S-41 with normal water level of 8.5 maincained in the canals. The 50 foot automatic weir operates between elevations 8.8 and 7.9 mean sea level, at the Boynton Canal discharge to Lake Worth. The standard project flood, that which would produce a 200+ year recurrence water elevation, at S-4l and the 60% project flood, that which would produce a 25 to 30 year recurrence water elevation, are 5,300 and 4,600 cfs respectively, and would reach elevations 8.8 and 8.1 mean sea level at structure S-4l. Representatives of C & SFFCD estimate 30 and 200+ year high water elevations of 8.90 and 9.78, respectively, would be reached at the limit of their jurisdiction at Equalizer Canal E-4. It is estimated by a representative of the LWOD that a 25 year high water elevation of 10.0 can be expected at the site. Projected elevations for other frequency storms are as follows: Frequency Water Elevation 5 yr. 10 yr. 25 yr. 50 yr. 100 yr. 9.2 9.6 10.0 10.3 10.7 The entire area of mall development will be served by a drainage system which will collect all runoff from the developed site and 64 convey the first flow to the retention ponds located just outside the western and northeastern extremities of the mall development. Surface area of the ponds will be an estimated 1.5 acres. Drainage from the site will provide an alternative source of water for irrigation, for recharge of the upper non-artesian aquifer, and for salt water intrusion control. Existing drainage is shown in Exhibit 7. c. Storm Drainage Several preliminary designs of the site storm drainage system have been prepared. An example of a workable layout is shewn on Exhibit 8. Estimated time of concentration to the main outfalls from the site are 16 and 18 minutes. Computations of the main site sewer flows are shown in Table 16. Peak flows from the developed mall site are shown below: Recurrence Interval (Frequency) Peak Flows (cfs) 92 Ac Site 101 Ac Site 5 yr. 10 yr. 25 yr. 50 yr. 100 yr. Q5 =355 Q10 =416 Q25 =476 Q50 =528 Q100=588 390 460 525 580 650 Of the mall site development, 17 acres will contain buildings, 67 acres will be utilized for parking and 5 acres will be developed into external and internal landscaped areas. These represent 21, 74, and 5 percent, respectively, of the site. Maximum 24 hour rainfall for 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 year recurrences are 8.2, 9.8, 12.0, 14.2, and 15.6 inches, respectively. The drainage system will be constructed so that the first runoff from the parking lot will be conveyed to combination sediment- retention ponds located to the west and northeast of the mall. Preliminary designs indicate that 1.5 acres of pond area will adequately perform the function of catching the first half inch of rain falling on the mall. Later flows after the lot has been flushed will enter L-23 or Boynton Canal. The average retention time of the first runoff from the parking lot, which will be retained in ponds, is estimated to be 9 hours. 65 +-' " Q) Q) N en .-< 'ci Q) '" UJ .c: N 0) N 0) " U r-- "" r-- "" .ci Q) " " o.H 0' .ci "''" ~ }.; en ~ '" ~ 0 Q) U 0 '" 0 0 " :>< .-< '" "" '" " .-< .-< <t: '" '" 01 +-' " Q) 'ci ~ U ~ 'ci ~ 0 '" .-< 0 .-< ~ 0 " '" 0) 0) 0) ~ ~ Q) 0 U to ..., '" to H }.; Cl .-< " .-< :>'0 '" ~ '" +-':X: to ~ .ci '- H N 0 N U " en en OJ .~ .ci " Q) '" '" '" '" ~ c:n '" Q).l:: .0 0 <t: +-' U to ~ " " I- 0 H H '- "0 >, :>, ::c +-' }.; Q) " 0. 0 0 .ci }.; +-' " 0.

Amount of Water Supply Required Estimates of daily water demand for the proposed mall are based on meter readings of water usage of comparable sized shopping centers in the State of Florida. A letter.concerning water meter readinas is included in the Appendix. Assuming a gross leasable area of 1,108,000 square feet and an average daily water demand of 0.12 gallons per square foot per day (gal/sf/day) the total average daily water usage of the mall is estimated to be 0.133 mgd. This figure represents absolute maximum demand inasmuch as it is calculated for a gross leasable area which is 10 percent greater than the gross leasable area of 1,008,000 square feet presently planned for the development. Based on 605 days per week at an average daily rate of 0.133 mgd, the annual water usage will amount to approximately 45 million gallons. Based on completion schedules of the improvements planned, the shopping center us~ge will amount to approximately 3. 7 percent of the available water supply by opening date in the fall of 1976. b. Source of Water Supply The City of Boynton Beach has an existing water treatment plant situated near the intersection of Seacrest Boulevard and S. E. 15th Avenue, a distance of approximately 2 miles to the southeast of the site of the proposed shopping center. The plant was constructed in 1962 and presently has a capacity of 8 mgd with provision for expan- sion to an ultimate capacity of 16 mgd. The plant provides aeration, sedimentation, filtration and chlorination. Water supply is obtained from three separate well fields comprising a total of 10 wells with a total rated capacity of 9.25 mgd. Storage capacity consists of two 0.5 mg elevated storage tanks and and 1.6 mg clearwell at the treatment plant providing a total storage capacity of 2.6 mg. The primary elements of the existing distribution system consist of a 20-inch, 14-inch, and la-inch transmission main extending north along Seacrest Boulevard from the treatment plant to N. W. 22nd Avenue. There is also an existing l6-inch and l2-inch main in N. W. 2nd Avenue, extending west to Congress Avenue. The remaining por- tions of the system consist of smaller mains serving existing 68 develu.:Jments t:dst of COI1--..;.cL'.--, - i~v, 'Due.

Major features ~ill include: 1. Expansion of the water treatment facilities to a total capacity of 16 mgd. 2. Development of new well fields at the rate of one new well per year through 1980. New well number 11 is already planned. It is estimated that each new well will add approximately 1.10 mgd to the production capacity of the water system. 3.

The development of one new well per year and the planned increase in treatment capaciry expected within the next several years will preclude the necessity to oper- ate the treatment facility above its rated capacity. Additional transmission, pumping, storage and distribution facilities improve- ments planned in the vicinity of the site area assure adequate water supply for the mall, plus a reserve for future demand. However, it is emphasized that projections for water demand given in response to Question 27.a. are based on a 1,108,000 square foot GLA mall. This represents the maximum growth factor for the mall. This figure would not be exceeded in the future and, therefore, indicates the mall's absolute maximum future demand on the City water supply. e. Distribution for Peak and Emergency Requirements (1) Normal Peak Use Based on commercial water use data developed by The Johns Hopkins university,l the ratio of average daily demands to maximum day and peak hour demands for the mall will be: Maximum Daily Demand 0.133 mgd x 1.45 = 0.193 mgd Peak Hour Demand 0.133 mgd x 2.58 0.343 mgd (2) Fire Protection Requirements The mall water supply will be designed to provide adequate flow and pressure to support its automati~ sprinkler 1 Commercial Water Use Research Proiect, Geyer, Linaweaver, Wolff; The Johns Jopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, 1966. 71 and yard hydrant system for a two hour period. . I . Relation to Local Government's Plans and Policies It is estimated that approximately 10 additional w~lls will be needed during the next decade to meet the projected water demand of the total service area of the City of Boynton Beach water syste~. At present, sufficient informatlon is not available to plan the optimum location of the new wells. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has initiated a study of groundwater in the area. Experience to date has shown that the present wells are not en- dangered by salt water intrusion or lowering of the aquifer water level by over-pumping. Future wells being planned by the City in the area west of the Seaboard Coastline Railroad are to be spaced increasingly further apart to assure moderate and uniform draw- down. A joint City-County geo-hydrological study is planned in the near future to determine the most feasible method of expandina the municipal well fields to produce hign ~uality water in suffi- cient quantity to satisfy the demands of the area. The site of the proposed shopping center is situated in the area west of Congress Avenue. The Palm Beach County L~~d Use Plan, dated 1972, designated the area for future commercial and low density residential (4 dwelling units per acre) use. The water demands for the proposed shopping center are equivalent to commer- cial use and less than low density residential use on an acreage basis. The water system improvements proposed by the City include provision to meet project water demands in excess of those pro- jected for the shopping center. 72 28. Solid Waste a. Amounts, Types, and Means of Collection and Disposal The 1,008,000 square foot mall will generate an average of approxi- mately 15 to 20 tons of solid waste per day. This is based on data obtained from a suburban shopping mall for which solid waste gen- eration amounted to 2/3 of a ton per acre of gross leasable area. Types of solid waste generated by mall operations include: paper; cardboard; packing materials; some wood crating, light metals, glass and plastics; putrescible waste generated by restaurant and concession areas; parking lot debris such as pavement sweepings, leaves and auto parts. Solid waste generated by construction will be substantial but tem- porary, predominantly involving cleared tree and ground cover and construction debris. Collection will be provided by the Palm Beach Sanitation Company, of Palm Beach, a private refuse hauling firm, franchised by the county to serve the district in the shopping center locality. The solid waste would be hauled to the county landfill located in the Latana area. .The landfill is operated by the County Mosquito Control and according to Mr. Thuss, who is in charge of the land- fills for the county, the life expectancy of this site is between 10 to 12 years. Correspondence from County Sanitation is included in the Appendix. b. On-Site Waste Treatment Facilities No on-site waste treatment facility is planned. Some mall tenants may elect to install trash compactors at their own expense. Con- tained compacted trash would then be collected, hauled, and dis- posed of by the procedures described above. 73 29. Power Supply a. Requirements and Source Based on a gross leasable area of 1,008,000 square feet, peak power requirements are estimated to be 8,800 KVA with connected loads in the vicinity of 15,200 h~. Annual energy consumption is projected to be approximately 27 million KW hours. Power will be supplied by the Florida Power and Light Company. This corporation has power grid interconnections with other major power sources in the State, i.e., Florida Power Corporation. Contact with Florida Power and Light Company representatives in- dicates that sufficient power is available to accommodate site demands. A letter to this effEct is included in the Appendix. b. On-Site Generating Facility No on-site generating facilities are plaIlned. 74 30. Other Public Facilities a. On-Site Provisions (1) Communications Telephone service is the only on-site communications require- ment. Telephone pair requirements for shopping centers vary from month to month depending on use. Generally, the require- ment is approximately 15 pairs per acre of gross leasable area. On this basis some 345 pairs would be needed. A letter from Southern Bell confirming the availability of telephone service is included in the appendix. (2) Educational Public facilities in the vicinity of the proposed mall are shown on a I" :;::: 500 I scale, color, aerial photograph of the site area, (submitted to the South Florida Reqional Planning Commission), which indicates location of key facilities. Exhibit 9 con- tained in this application also indicates various facilities in proximity to the site. Unlike housing developments, a shopping center project will not affect school enrollment/capacity in the area. Approximately 90 percent of all mall personnel will be drawn from the local area and the majority of these will represent secondary jobs. Therefore, there will be little re-settlement or new settlement in the area due to the development. The mall will have little affect on existing enrollment, transportation programs, or per pupil costs of area schools. Educational programs, exhibits and by and take place within the mall. Cul tural. activities will be sponsored These are listed under (6) (3) Emergency On-site emergency provisions include first aid kits available at the mall office, information booths or maintenance room. The mall secretary and mall hostesses will have phone numbers of local ambulance services and closest hospital. A wheelchair and oxygen tank will be provided by the developer. In addition, each major department store maintains some type of mini-clinic to provide emergency care for their customers and personnel. 75 I I I BOYNTON BEACH SHOPPING MALL PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA FACILITIES IN PROXIMITY TO SITE I EDWARD J. DeBARTOLO CORPORATION EXHI BIT 9 (4) Fire Protection On-site fire protection includes provision of thermostatically controlled sprinl,ler systems for all facilities wi thin the enclosed mall. Design for the proposed shopping center" s water ~stern will provide adecr'late flow and pressure to support its automatic sprinkler and yard hydrant system for a period of two hours. - In addition, the mall maintenance staff will be trained in fire prevention techniques and drilled in emergency procedures. Major department stores provide their own maintenance personnel and operations officers with comparable instruction. (5) Health Care See (3) Emergency above. vfuile no specific health clinics or programs are planned on-site, major department stores often provide health programs for their peraonnel. These vary amon~ national chains, but generally include blood donor programs, free chest X-ray service and group ~ealth insurance plans. The latter will be limited to a specific storels personnel. However, the former two programs may be offered mall-wide in conjunction with local Red Cross and respiratory disease associa- tions. (6) Cultural Shopping centers operated by the developer sponsor various cultural activities including the following: Arts and Crafts Exhibits Displays and Events sponsored by local Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Junior Achievement, 4-H Clubs and comparable organizations. Ecology Displays Concerts--swmmer, jazz, piano Ballets 76 Gem, Rock and Mineral Shows Book Autographing Sessions College Fairs Employment Opportunity Fairs Flower Shows Plant and Tree give-aways Fashion Shows (7) Recreational In addition to the above activities, the mall is periodically made available for dances sponsored by civic groups, local police departments or special interest groups. These social/ charitable affairs are held within the interior of the mall after stores are closed. Local children are encouraged -to participate in holiday-related mall activities such as Halloween costume parties, Christmas tree decorating parties, etc. Parks and recreational areas in proximity to the mall are loca- ted in Exhibit 9. (8) Secu rity Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation malls maintain their own security system. Staff size averages twelve men drawn from one or more of three employment sources. These are: Off-duty police employed on a part-time basis. Private security agency personnel, i.e., Burns, Wackenhut, or comparable organizations. Deputized individuals on the mall payroll. 77 Security guards have multiple functions including keeping peace in the concourse; customer parking and traffic control; pro- viding information; patrolling the interior and occasionally the exterlor of the mall. In addition to the mall security force, many stores have their own automated internal security systems and staff. Smaller shops will usually rely on mirrors, alarms or video monitors, while major department stores supplement automated surveillance with one or more deputized security personnel. b. County and Regional Plans The proposed mall conforms with the Palm Beach County master land use plan which calls for shopping area development adjacent to Congress Avenue. Prior to development, however, a zoning change will be required. The site is presently zoned for agricultural use. See Exhibit 10. Exhibit 11 shows a portion of the county's future land use plan. Provision has been made for a shopping area along Congress Avenue directly southeast of the site. The publication "Land Use Plan, 1972", prepared by the Palm Beach COW1ty Planning, Zoning and Building Department states: "Future conuuercial centers denoted on the land use map by red circles are not intended to pin- point specific locations but only to note gener- alized areas where commercial facilities will be warranted as development continues. .,1 In addition to designating the site area as appropriate for com- mercial developme.nt, the county makes the following recommendations for commercial sites: Future commercial development should take the form of centers of neighborhood, conuuunity or regional dimensions. Centers should be located at points easily accessible to nearby residential developments. 1 Palm Beach County Land Use Plan, 1972 page 35. 78 TAKEN FROM CITY Of BOYNTON BEACH ZONING MAPS ;7 f I C....A.l ~~ ~ ~ "T"TT"" "" ~.

DeBARTOLO CORPORATION EXHIBIT II Larger developments should be located on large tracts along ODe or, at most, two sides of intersecting major arteri~ls. Such developments should not be split across four corners of an intersection.2 The proposed Boynton Beach Mall conforms to all these objectives. It is a center of regional dimensions, easily accessible to existing and planned residential areas, located within a single, large, con- tiguous tract along a major arterial. It is within the generalized area the county master plan designates as warranting commercial development. 2 Ibid. 79 31. Other Considerations a. Consistency with Utility Coverage and Capacity There is no staging of project development; rather, a single unbroken sequence beginning with construction and culminating 18 months later in a fully operational mall. Evaluation has been made of the coverage and capacity of all utilities. Water service will be provided by the City of Boynton Beach. Sewage service will be provided by municipal and county facilities. An interim alternative is discussed under C.25.d. Details on the location of proposed sewer and water lines to the site are found in the responses to Questions 25 and 27, respectively. Electric power as indicated in the response to Question 29 is available. rull coverage and capacity will be supplied by the Florida Power and Light Company. Telephone service as indicated in the response to Question 30 is available. With sufficient advance notice, the Southern Bell Tele- phone Company will extend full coverage to accommodate mall re- quirements. Solid waste disposal will be handled by the authorized collection service for the site area as indicated in the response to Question 28. Solid waste disposal will begin with site clearance and con- tinue through mall operations. Due to the limited availabity of natural gas, electricity will be used for the mall's heating system. Therefore, gas service main extension to the site will not be required. In other words, the coverage and capacity of all utilities has been inventoried. All agencies have been contacted. Where possible, demands and time schedules have been established. Letters indicating ~he con- firmation of utilities service are included in the Appendix. b. Decrease, Extension or Expansion Requirements The site does not require any decrease, extension or expansion of utilities other than those planned improvements listed in responses to Questions 25-27. This includes scheduled expansion of county sewage treatment capacity; improvements in the municipal and county sewer and water systems; extension of sewer and water service to the site. 80 Telephone cables and electric lines with sufficient capacity to serve the site exist adjacent to the site. Therefore, development involves connection with existing f~cilities rather than extension or expansion of these services. In summary, the development does not require any extension or expan- sion of public utilities other than those improvements already in planning and/or progress. Finally, mall utility consumption will be consistent with available capacity planned for the site~ c. Alternative Power, Water, Sewer, etc. Considerations Alternative energy sources are under consideration for the mall's heating system. Initially, natural gas was planned. however, the limited availability of natural gas resulted in adoption of electri- city to serve total mall energy requirements including power gener- ation for the heating system. Scheduled water and sewer improvements to the public systems provide sufficient capacity to accommodate mall operations. quently, development of alternative sources is unwarranted. will Conse- d. Common Utility Trenches Consideration has been given to common utility trenches. This measure affords clear advantages in terms of efficiency and esthetics. Common trenches will be incorporated if feasible and advisable, in the final development design. 81 D. IMPACT ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES OF THE REGIOi~ 32. Public Transportation Considerations a. Thoroughfare Pl an Exhibit 12 provides a thoroughfare plan for the site area including existing and proposed roads. b. Types, Volumes, Seryice Leyels of Thoroughfares The proposed site is located on and adjacent to principal arteries serving its market area. Congress Avenue and New Boynton Road will be the major approach routes for patron traffic. Congress Avenue, adjacent to the site's eastern border, is a north- south two-lane roadway. It is presently carrying approximately 10,300 vehicles per day just south of the site and its current level of service is rated C or .better. The west Palm Beach Urban Area Transportation Study recommends that Congress Avenue be improved to a four-lane facility throughout its length in Palm Beach County. Many of the Congress Avenue bridges crossing canals have been improved to four lanes in preparation of roadway improvement. The Palm Beach County Planning Department indicates that by 1990 right-of-way requirements for Congress Avenue would be 120 feet. New Boynton Road (State Road 804) is an east-west two-lane road from downtown Boynton Beach to U. S. Route 441. It is currently carrying approximately 6,200 vehicles per day just west of Congress Avenue and between 10,000 and 12,500 vehicles per day in downtown Boynton Beach. The current level of service ranges from B to C. By 1975 New Boynton Road will be widened to four lanes between Congress Avenue and its interchange with 1-95. Right-of-way requirements by 1990 will be 200 feet. Boynton West Road is an east-west two-lane roadway extending from State Road 809 to approximately two miles east of Congress Avenue. Boynton West Road currently carries a relatively small amount of local traffic. An 80 foot right-of-way will be required for Boynton West Road by 1990. Interstate Route 95 is expected to be completely under contract for construction within the next year throughout its length in Palm Beach County. Although this would indicate opening of the facility 82 . ",. ""i - i 'y{,.. ii..:'IlBY co ~ ;- ('0'21 . !f 1,1: tEl . i :1 '<:L~I\..-d. JI' . ~ I - .~ -b" ,Ie'; " .rt:; !;: t;~IJ !

DeBARTOLO CORPORATION EXHIBIT 12 in three or four years, pending litigation on some segments may delay construction. It was assumed for the traffic analysis that 1-95 would not open until after 1980. An interchange is planned at New Boynton Road and will influence site-generated traffic distribution. Accident data for New Boynton Road (S.R. 804) was provided by the Florida Department of Transportation. In 1971, there were 8 accidents involving 4 injuries on S.R. 804 in the vicinity of the site. There were no fatalities recorded. The 1972 traffic safety figures are not available at the present time. c. Deyelopment Generated Traffic (1) Vehicle Trips Per Day Motor vehicles, primarily mall patrons, represent the major source of traffic. Other vehicles include delivery trucks and employee vehicles. During peak retail seasons, the mall is expected to generate a total of 17,500 vehicle trips per day. (2) Hours of Operati on Major activity at the mall results from retail operations. hours Monday through Saturday generally are from 10:00 a.m. 9:3 0 p.m. Sunday hours are 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. Store to Normal Monday through Friday shopping center operations will result in three traffic peaks. The first occurs simultaneously with the evening through traffic rush hour. The second occurs from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. on evenings when the shopping center is open and the inbound movement reaches its peak. The major outbound movement usually takes place at the end of the shopping evening from 9:00 to 10:00 p.m., presuming stores close at 9:30 p.m. Weekend peak traffic movements occur in the late afternoon between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. However, the weekend peak is usually less critical than the weekday peaks because of the lower volumes of through traffic on the external roads surrounding the site. 83 Table 17 presents estimates of peak inbound and outbound site traffic for the proposed Boynton Beach development. These vol- umes represent anticipated maximum traffic movement occurring 30 to 40 days per year during peak retail seasons, such as the period preceding Easter, Moth8r's Day, special sale days, etc. These volumes were based on data from the traffic analysis prepared by Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc.

A 10 percent increase in gross leasable area (GLA) is possible and traffic is one of the factors which would be affected. Therefore, estimates have been made for traffic generated by a 1,108,000 square foot mall. This represents a 10 percent increase in GLA over the proposed development.

Impact on Area Traffic Pattern Direction of patron approach was based on the distribution of potential patrons within the development's area of influence and the efficiencies of the various roadways leading to the site. The directions of approach are summarized in Table 19. It can be seen that the percentages of direction are anticipated to change by 1985. The directions of approach for both 1975 and 1985 were determined based on the existing and proposed road network in the area of influence. Table 19 Directions of Approach* Approach Route Percent of Total Traffic 1975 1985 Congress Avenue from the North Congress Avenue from the South New Boynton Road from the East New Boynton Road from the West Boynton West Road from the East Boynton West Road from the West 25 25 20 20 5 5 10 10 40 25 10 5 * Source: Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. using the directional arrival distribution, traffic assignments were made for the volumes expected on the approach routes in 1975 and 1985 during the evening peak hour when through traffic volumes are greatest. These assignments are shown in Exhibits 13 and 14 for site traffic based on 1,008,000 square foot GLA mall. The proposed shopping mall will increase traffic on the major approach routes, namely Congress Avenue, New Boynton Road and Boynton West Road. With the proposed improvements to Congress Avenue and New Boynton Road, and with recommended modifications at access points to the site, the efficient movement of through traffic and site traffic can be accommodated at satisfactory levels of service. 85 w > < - ~ - ~ - - w - ~ ,- - '" - ?'; z j 0 u , 1-- -- ( 290) --1 l 1 \ (6U) , , - , , " ~ , - - - ; :ii - ~ c ;:; 81 , ~ , - ~, J I -- 1901 -' .., t 11301 , -. , - - N , , 0 ro N , - - S I T E - - c 0 ~ ::; ~ - - " 0 , - iOi , j j 1401 -.J JJ 14301 -. , 0 0 '" <D I - ~ - I~ 0 - - 0 - :ii - <D 2 c -0_ - ~ N ~;;&i 0 -' L201101 - 0 <D 0' LllOl JI [ L 1601 N N N iJ L j I l -10(70) BOYNTON WEST RD. -50( 20 - 60! 10\ ,'0 -- - - (fi(Jl ---1 1201 .-J I 2D~ 6()(20) _ 60(20) _ 20 (70) - 1 I r :;; 20, iOig iOi ~ - ~ c ~ co ;:; ~ ~ c: " c ::; - L7011501 ~ " ::; 0 ~ - '" Jt LII501 j j L -4-160(150) NEW BOYNTON RD. - 250 r 70 S .

DeBARTOLO CORPORATIOl\; EXHIBIT 14 Site access facilities will fulfill the objectives of providing safe, convenient and efficient interchange of traffic between the development and public roadway system. From a traffic planning standpoint, these facilities are designed to fulfill the following basic design criteria. A system of site access points will be planned, i.e., a sufficient number will be provided to ensure that site-generated traffic will be evenly distributed on the external roadways and interior circulat~on roads. The access points will be spaced far enough apart to minimize their effect on efficient traffic movement on the public roadways. Site entrances and exits will be designed to allow adequate storage capacity inside the development and safe movement of vehicles into and out of the site. The site access system and external roadway improve- ments will be mutually compatible and will be coor- dinated in terms of staging and form with the exist- ing and future land uses adjacent to the development. Mall development will not affect, alter or impact air, harbor or rail transportation in any way. This negative declaration applies to both construction and operation periods. Sidewalks, signs and pavement markings adjacent to and within the site will assure pedestrian safety and convenience. e. Major Traffic Generators in Site Area The development of Leisureville is located south of the site along Congress Avenue and is composed of single and multi-family residences, condominiwns and a shopping center. Leisure Plaza is a shopping center containing approximately 10 stores, including a supermarket and drug store. The Villager Shopping Plaza is under construction along the north side of New Boynton Road immediately east of Congress Avenue and will contain approximately 20 small stores. The total development would constitute a major traffic generator. Access and egress to and from the Leisureville development is accomplished at several points along Congress Avenue and New Boynton Road. 86 Generally, the majority of the vehicle trips generated by the pro- posed Boynton Beach mall will be shopping trips that will originate and terminate at the homes of the patrons. Initially, the greatest portions of the trips will be from the area served by Congress Avenue to the north and south of the area. f. Alternate Transportation Facilities The proposed mall will not directly connect with or affect existing navigable waterways. The project will not significantly increase use of air transportation facilities. Demand will be limited to use of Palm Beach International Airport as a receiving point for merchandise shipped by air freight and a terminal for retail executives traveling to major domestic and foreign market areas. The development will not affect existing railway systems and will not require direct connection or interface at the site. The major- ity of all retail freight in the country is carried by truck or aircraft. The Barton-Aschrnan traffic report discussed the role of public transportation. At present, there is no available public transportation to the project site, however, the national trend toward improved public transportation would suggest that some form of public transportation will be available in the future. The project developer has a documented history of working closely with local governments and transit agencies in providing convenient loading and unloading space for transit service and has encouraged such service to their shopping malls (see Tyrone Square Shopping Mall - Parking Lot Operation Analysis in the Appendix for frequency of bus service to that particular shopping mall). g. Modifications in Existing System Specific modifications to the existing transportation system will be required for mall construction and operation. These include the following: Construction of an access road on the site to accommodate construction equipment and workers. 87 construction of several entrance-exits onto the adjacent roadways to provide access and egress to the mall. The construction access road would be limited to construction vehi- cle traffic and will not require any signalization at adjacent roadways. Three entrance-exits are planned for the eastern boundary and two for the southern boundary of the site. These will be located on Congress Avenue and Boynton West Road. See Exhibit 2, the proposed site plan. All access drives will have two inbound and two out- bound lanes separated by a median. Traffic signals are recommended at the northernrrost and southernrrost access drives on Congress Avenue. Also a traffic signal is recom- mended at the center access drive serving the site from Boynton West Road. Consideration should be given to providing turn lanes at the intersection of New Boynton Road and Congress Avenue. A right turn lane on the east leg of New Boynton Road and left turn lanes on all four approaches should be provided at the intersection. h. Public Transportation and Related Facilities in Site Area There is no existing rapid transit service, nor water or rail transportation service to the proposed site. No direct air trans- portation is provided to the site. However, the general area is served by the Palm Beach International Airport located approximately 10 miles to the north. The airport' s proximity to the site will expedite air freight deliveries in connection with a surface delivery system. i. Parking Space and Facilities A total of 5,800 parking spaces will occupy 72 acres of the site. This parking ratio amounts to 5.0 cars per 1,000 square feet of total floor area. The predominance of perpendicular parking surrounding 88 the mall will maximize efficient use of the area. These spaces will adequately serve normal daily and weekend operations at the planned commercial facility, which has a gross leasable area of 1,008,000 square feet. Should the development be expanded by 10 percent to a GLA of 1,108,000 square feet, approximately 6,380 parking spaces would be required. Mall parking areas will be landscaped in compliance with local ordinances. Parking lot users include the estimated 2,100 mall employees work- ing over three shifts and the 17,500 vehicles per day which the traffic analysis projects for the shopping center. The maximum peak hour will occur between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., when 2,720 vehicles are expected to enter and 1,510 vehicles leave the site. 89 E. IMPACT ON HOUSING IN THE REGION 33. Housing Considerations a. Construction Schedule The shopping mall will be a permanent development. The construction period is anticipated to last 18 months, beginning in the Spring of 1975 and ending in the Fall of 1976. A low density subdivision borders the site's western perimeter. Effort will be made to minimize construction impact on this area. In particular, the following measures are planned: Where necessary, excavated soils will be treated with water to minimize dust. Surface water runoff will not damage adjacent proper- ties. Restoration of the site perimeter will be accomplished in concert with construction, beginning as soon as possible. The landscape plan for the completed mall will minimize esthetic impact. Light standards on the mall parking lot will focus light within the project area, and where necessary, be equipped with opaque shields to confine light to the site. The principal traffic approach pattern will be on Congress Avenue, thus minimizing traffic impact on residential areas. b. Use of Local Labor Force It is estimated that 90 percent of the permanent employees will be drawn from the local labor force. The shopping mall will employ approximately 1,150 workers earning less than $6,000 annually and approximately 680 wage earners between $6,000 and $10,000. 90 The vast majority of mall employees will be sales personnel and represent secondary household wage earners. Therefore, the develop- ment will place a disproportionately low demand on the local hous- ing market. There is no housing included in the development. However, due to the fact that 90 percent of the mall work force will already live in the community and the majority of this work force will represent secondary employment, the development should not affect existing low cost and subsidized housing requirements. By adding extra income to families it may, in fact, reduce low cost housing demand. 91 34. General Considerations a. Justifi cati on Development of a regional shopping center on the site is justified for the following reasons: County future land use plans call for commercial development in the site area. The county recom- mends the precise type of development proposed, i.e., a center of regional dimensions; easily accessible to nearby residential areas; located on a large contiguous tract adjacent to one or more intersecting major arterials.l There is a need for a shopping center in this rapidly growing area. At present there are no shopping malls in the Boynton Beach area. Palm Beach Mall--approximately 13 miles north of the site--represents the closest regional complex. Highways serving the site are capable of support- ing traffic generated by a regional shopping center. Direct north-south access is provided by Congress Avenue with regional north-south access provided by planned 1-95. Direct east-west access is provided by Boynton West Road, with regional east-west access provided by New Boynton Road which interchanges with 1-95. The mall represents an economic asset to the com- munity. The development will provide essential shopping and employment opportunities, stimulate supportive industries and add balance to the tax base in this largely residential c'_rea. Most important, the mall will serve the multiple shopping needs of area consumers within a single comprehensive regional complex. This optimizes rational land use by fulfilling regional and local economic needs and objectives without random commercial sprawl. 1 Palm Beach County Land Use Plan, 1972, page 35. 92 Thus, the mall is justified by county future land use plans, need, by its supporting highways and its scale. This permits the con- centration of conSumer outlets in a~ area designated for shopping center development. Consequently, the project will not divide residential neighborhoods or impact sensitive areas. b. Reason for Site Selection The site was selected for its level topography; its central loca- tion in a growing market area; and the superior local and regional access afforded by Congress Avenue, Boynton West Road, New Boynton Road and planned 1-95. See Exhibits 15 and 16 showing views of the site. c. Stages of Development The proposed mall will be constructed in an 18-month period. Site clearance will begin in the Spring of 1975 with the completed 1,008,000 square foot mall including a 72-acre parking area scheduled to open in the Fall of 1976. Annual capital expenditures estimated for the development are given in the response to Question 21.b. d. Relationship to Comprehensive Land Use Plan The proposed mall conforms fully to the county's future land use plan. As noted in the response to Question 30.b., the site is within the generalized area where commercial facilities are indi- cated. It conforms in terms of site contiguity, access and scale to county land USe objectives for shopping area development. See the response to Question 30.b. for specific county recommendations on commercial development. e. Land Use and Zoning within One Mile Radius The site is presently unoccupied pasture except for one residence located on the southeast corner of the tract. Land use west of Congress AVenue is largely residential and agri- cultural. Heavier concentrations of residential development exist east of Congress Avenue within the city limits of Boynton Beach. Leisureville, a planned subdivision including a golf course, is located southeast of the site. The ITV Center is located south of New Boynton Road. Apartments due west of the site represent the highest density residential development in the area. 93 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 .;1 ...h."~'..l. - - J!,' ,~.. ~i ~ ."' .~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ if.

II EXHIBIT 16 Existing zoning in the vicinity of the site is whown in Exhibit 10, found earlier in this application. Generally, land outside the Boynton Beach city limits is zoned for agricultural ~r low density residential use. Commercial zoning exists on scattered parcels bordering primary arteries. There are only two strips of light industrial zoning--one north of New Boynton Road and east of the Seaboard Coastline Railroad, the other a narrow band north of New Boynton Road opposite the ITV Center. The Palm Beach County future land use plan is shown in Exhibit 11 in the report. This indicates future development patterns. Land use adjacent to the site area is largely planned for low density residential development. Medium density residential areas are planned east of Congress Avenue, north and south of Boynton West Road in the vicinity of the site. West of Military Trail land use is planned for estate-type development. Multiple shopping areas are located to serve the planned residential areas including one along Congress Avenue in the vicinity of the site. f. Total Service Area The development will serve regional consumers from Palm Beach County. Boynton Beach represents the immediate market area with regional patrons drawn from Delray, Gulfstream, Ocean Ridge and Hypoluxo. The realistic limit of the market area is the population living within a 20-minute travel time to the center. Palm Beach Mall, located 13 miles to the north in West Palm Beach, will effectively limit patron potential to the north. A future major shopping center is proposed to be located 23 miles to the south in Lauderdale Lakes. This development will limit patron potential to the south. g. Present Population For practical purposes it can be assumed that persons within a 20-minute travel time of the site reside in an area bordered on the north by Forest Hill Boulevard, on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the south by the Palm Beach County line, and on the west by the Florida Turnpike. 94 The 1970 population of this area was 146,765. The 1970 population of the Boynton Beach area alone was 22,125.2 h. Projected Population The projected 1980 population of the area outlined above as within a 20-minute travel time of the site, is 350,400. The projected 1980 population for the immediate Boynton Beach area is 55,200.3 i. PUD Classification The project is not classified as a PUD. j.

PETERSBURG, FLORIDA PARKING LOT OPERATION ANALYSIS September 1973 INTRODUCTION The revisions to the State of Florida Air Implementation Plan for review of complex sources was approved by the Board of Pollution Control, September 24, 1973. The new rules require that certain projects obtain a permit from the Department of Pollution Control before they can move forward. These projects include sports arenas, highways, airports, and major shopping centers with associated large parking lots. I n order to determine the size of the facility which will have to apply for an air quality permit, certain magnitudes for development were established. I n the case of large parking lots associated with shopping centers, the figure was established as 1500 vehicles. The sample calculation distributed by the Department of Pollution Control utilized certain assumptions in calculating the concentration levels of carbon monoxide (CO) in parking lots. These assumptions included average speeds, percentage of parking spaces in use, percentage of vehicles operating at anyone time and the area of parking space and aisle space per parking stall. The reviewing these assump- tions, it became obvious that the figures used in the sample computations would not apply to all types of projects. - I n order to develop specific data which would be applic- able to large shopping centers, an evaluation of a similar shopping center already in operation was undertaken. Tyrone Square Mall (St. Petersburg, Florida) was selected as being representative of those shopping centers proposed for future development. This project is similar in size and scope to the ones for which applications will be made for air quality permits in the near future. Tyrone Square Mall has 6,444 parking stalls and a gross leasable area of 1,071,149 square feet. METHODOLOGY In order to develop the required data, a technique utilizing a portable video tape system was employed. I n addition, a complete vehicle count at each entrance for arriving and departing vehicles was made for a full seven (7) day period to get total traffic counts which could be correlated with the random sampling data. TYRONE SQUARE SURVEILLANCE Portable video tape units were set up on the roof of the Tyrone Square Shopping Mall on both Thursday and Friday, Sep. tember 27 and 28, 1973. The surveillance team consisted of one camera operator along with a spotter and stop watch operator. made as follows: ..~ I .'~.._.. _ . . - ~ ...-.". ,,-... --... a$:)..r..,J& ._.~. ~h"':'-"~" -.=-- - .... --- :;:f" :~\W\(: ..- ~ ~'"::\\l''' ..... - .Ie" . ......~ ~ ~~~""'~" . - - -...,.- - ~ ,." ',.;.".i .-i. Random arrival and departure observations were 1. Each entrance was observed at periods throughout the day in order to get a representative sampling. Vehicles would be intercepted as they entered the shopping mall from the arterial street with the video tape camera. The camera would track the vehicle from its initial arrival to the shopping center parking lot until such time as the vehicle had pulled into a parking stall and come to a complete stop. Simultaneously with the tracking by the video tape camera, the stop watch operator denoted the total travel time and made pertinent comments on the audio portion of the tape as to the peculiarities of the particular vehicle being tracked, including travel path, etc. A total of 53 observations were made of arriving vehicles during the two-day period. 2. A similar tracking procedure was utilized for departing vehicles. Persons walking from the shops into the parking lot were detected and the video tape camera would intercept them as they entered their vehicle. The stop watch operator would start the watch when the vehicle began moving from the parking stall. The video camera would also begin surveillance at this point. The surveillance would continue until the vehicle entered the arterial street adjacent to the shopping mall. If the vehicle departed via a signalized intersection and was stopped by a red signal, the surveillance would continue until such time as the vehicle had entered the flow of traffic on the arterial route. At this point the stop watch and surveillance would be discontinued. Pertinent notes as to travel path and operation along with total travel time were put on the audio portion of the tape. A total of 55 departure observations were made during the two day period. 3. In order to get total traffic data to correlate the sample observations with, each entrance and exit was staffed for seven days in late September from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., (except 11 :00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sunday). An inventory of cars and trucks already in the lot was made at 9:00 a.m. prior to beginning the counts. An hourly count of cars. trucks and buses both in and out are logged for each entrance. This permitted easy calculation of total parking lot inven- tory at the end of each 1 hour period. This in-out count continued until 10:00 p.m. at which time a second total lot inventory was made in order to verify the hourly sum- maries as to the actual in-lot inventory of cars, trucks and buses. 11.- I' d ! =r-ri= .IIC'.iiIi, Data from the video tape surveillance pro- gram was compiled in the office from a playback monitor. Travel paths for each vehicle tracked were plotted on a site plan for the shopping center, utilizing information obtained from the TV monitor. Travel distances, used to compute speeds, were measured directly from the site plan. SUMMARY Hourly counts for a continuous week, as discussed above, provided data to make determination such as week days as a percentage of the total week, the peak day (which was found to be a Saturday), the percentage of occupancy of the lot at any given time, the peak hour for ingress and egress traffic into and out of the lot, etc. A determination as to the percentage of trucks and buses of the total was also made from this data. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS A summary of the operating characteristics of arriving vehicles is given in Table A (2 pages), taken from the video tapes. A similar summary for departing vehicles is given in Table B (2 pages). One hundred and eight (108) observations of arriving and departing vehicles were made. Travel times varied from an average of 52 seconds for arrivals to 66 seconds for departures. Average operating speeds were 8.29 mph and 5.88 mph for arrivals and departures respectively. The longer travel times and lower travel speeds for departures can be attributed to delays in entering the flow of traffic on the arterial routes, when the arterials were operating at or near capacity. It should be noted, however, that the peak traffic periods on the arterials which resulted in departure delays did not correspond to the peak periods for parking lot departures. Overall speeds averaged 7.1 mph and travel times averaged 59 seconds. In each case, the speed and travel time is to or from the arterial route to the parking stall. Data obtained from the seven (7) day traffic counts are summarized in Table C (4 pages). During the seven day period, a total of 190,923 vehicles (two-way count) were recorded. This included all passenger cars, trucks and buses. It was interesting to note that public transportation (buses) served the shopping center with approximately 5 minute headways, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays. Trucks (including 2 axle pickup trucks) averaged 4.6% of total vehicles during weekdays. Utilizing average travel times (59 seconds) as determined from the video tape surveillance program and two-way traffic volumes obtained from the seven-day traffic counts, it was possible to compute the average number of vehicles moving at anyone time during peak hours and during the eight (8) highest hours. Comparing these volumes with the hourly parking lot inventories (computed from the hourly arriving and departing traffic counts), the number of vehicles moving at anyone time can be expressed as a percentage of the total vehicles in the lot during that period. As evidenced by Table C, the number of vehicles moving as a percentage of the lot inventory varied only slightly throughout the week. I n addition, the peak hour average of 2.05% is only slightly greater than the eight (8) hour average of 1.96%. An average of 2.00% appears reasonable for all conditions due to the minor varia- tions observed. ~~~. _:.m.J:';;......_ ~,--'- C> .. - _ A maximum hourly volume (entering and exiting the lot) of 3,559 vehicles was observed on Saturday from 1 :00 to 2:00 p.m. Utilizing an average travel time of 59 seconds (actual times would be some- what less because this period did not correspond to the peak period on the arterials), this would represent 58.32 vehicle hours of operation (3,559 x 59 - 3,600). In vehicle hours of operation per hour, this would compare with a one mile section of a two-lane urban street, having an average operating speed of 20 mph and a two-way hourly volume of 1,167 vehicles (the hourly capacity of a two-lane street is approximately 2,000 vehicles - two-way). Other data, such as each day's traffic volume as a percentage of the weekly total, average and maximum parking lot inventories, etc. can be found in Table C.

Projections were based on the output of the Computer Analysis Star 2. Existing Emissions Data The State of Florida Air Implementation, January 1972, was a primary source of stationary and mobile emissions data. Focused Air Quality Study Investigation of the project's impact focused on six specific factors. 1. Total daily pollutional loads produced by estimated patron traffic in relation to ambient and projected pollutional loading generated by off-site traffic. 2. Air pollution levels anticipated in the parking lot, the area of maximum impact. Calculations were based on pollutant concentrations for one hour and eight hour periods. 3. The horizontal dispersion of traffic emissions as they may affect adjacent properties, the local environment and nearby sensitive areas. 4. The impact of project construction on ambient air quality. 5. Stationary sources of pollution resulting from mall operation. 6. The indirect impact of shopping center energy con- sumption on ambient conditions. Study Parameters Estimates of daily pollutional load generated by mall traffic was based on the following parameters. 1. Average daily traffic. 2. Acreage of parking area and number of parking spaces. 3. Roadway lengths. 4. Atmospheric stability and wind speed. 5. Average vehicle speeds and their resulting emission rates. 6. Type and number of construction machines and their emission rates. Sources for Traffic and Emission Rate Estimates Projected patron traffic volumes were taken from the traffic analysis report prepared for the development by Barton, Aschman Associates of Chicago, Illinois. Acreage of parking lots and the number of parking spaces proposed for the mall were provided by the developer for the proposed center based on a gross leasable area of 1,008,000 square feet and for a 10 percent larger mall including a gross leasable area of 1,108,000 square feet. Average vehicle speed (mph) over the roadway sections under study was determined from route reconnaissance surveys conducted during peak and off- peak travel times in October 1973. The average speed through a roadway section was based on total travel time that included periods of idling, acceleration and deceleration. Motor vehicle emission rates, pounds of pollutant per vehicle mile (lbs/veh-mi), were computed by using the data and methodology contained in Environmental Protection Agency Publication No. AP-42, "Compilation of Air Pollutant Emi:;sion Factors, Second Edition," April 1973. Data concerning vehicle age distribution and the mileage driven by each age group in the nation was obtained from Environmental Protection Agency Publication numbered above. The type and number of construction vehicles and employee cars during the construction were determined from an estimate of the length and labor required for the various operations. Manufacturers and contractors were contacted to determine the operational capacities and fuel consumption rates for typical types and models of construction equipment. Methodology Air pollution levels in the parking area were studied by applying a model study advised by the Environmental Protection Agency and required by the State of Florida Department of Pollution Control. The source of this model study is "A Simple Method of Calculating Dispersion from Urban Area Sources" by S. R. Hanna, Journal of the Air Pollution Control Association, Volume 21, pp 714-777, 1971. Atmospheric horizontal dispersion of pollutants from the proposed mall and from major highways was determined by utilizing the California line source model for the worst dispersion conditions. This is given in "Mathematical Approach to Estimating Highway Impact on Air Quality", pre- pared by the California Department of Public Wcrks Division of Highways and published in Report No. FHWA-RD 72-36, Air Quality Manual Volume IV, 1972. The dispersion analysis determined the concentrations of various vehicular emission pollutants during peak hour travel. Evaluation of construction impact on ambient air quality and potential stationary source pollution resulting from mall operations followed re- quirements promulgated by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and published in the Federal Register, June 18, 1973. Base measurements to evaluate the project1s impact included: ambient conditions; national, State and county air quality standards. Ambient and projected pollutant concentrations are given for carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOX) , sulfur dioxide (S02) and suspended par~iculates. Concentrations of CO, HC and NOx result primarily from mobile source emissions while S02 and particulate levels primarily are the products of stationary source emissions. Ambient condi- tions shawn for S02 and particulates represent average values of readings taken at sampling stations nearest the site. Ambient conditions shown for CO, HC and NOx were based on computation of the maximum hourly concentra- tions in the site vicinity. These were derived from a dispersion model for multiple point and area sources. This method was devised by the Model Application Section Source Receptor Analysis Branch of the Environmental Protection Agency. In essence this technique is a composite based on models developed by R. I. Larsen,l S. R. Hanna,2 D. B. Turner,3 ~. R. Zimmerman and R. S. Thompson.4 Calculations for atmospheric dispersion of pollutant concentrations assumed the site topography is flat for configurdtion of the worst condi- tions under stability Class D. 1 Larsen, R. 1., "A Mathematical Model for Relating Air Quality Measurements to Air Quality Standards" OAP PUDlication No. AP-89, (Nov. 71). 2 Hanna, S.

A more complete set of metals analyses ~ould have confirmed this. Nitric acid diges- tion of samples, preparatory to atomic adsorption analysis, brings into solution all of the metals so that they appear in the calculated load as biologically active. Their potential activity depends upon many factors; silt adsorption is the nor- mal mode by which pollutional soluble metals are removed in streams, lakes a~d ot~}cr natural ~ater systems. Only a lirni.tcJ n:ilaunt 0:: or:Jjinc.l r'~::;c:~rc~ H3S undertal:en in this stuJy--thc siDulated rainf~Ll s~udics in Bakersfield-- over a 251 x ~Ol lcv81 street su~face to check effectiveness of r.'.ethods of .s..;~epin0. As would be anticipated from other data, the fine particl",s--bcl()',i 43 microns--lllere s\-Iept up less effectively. This fraction ~lso showed relatively higher orsanic content. This is to be ex?ectcd. The stuc1y r.\akes a point of the high BOD and COD load pro- jected to treatnent during the early stO::-::l flol-1. A geod deal of this is undoubtedly dog and cat faeca:; and fermentable trash and garbage caught in storm dri'iin traps. With the current concern, regarding the health effects of trace concentrations of heavy netRIs, there are obvious publiC relations g&ins in establishing a routing of treated storm waters to selected, non-potable uses, especially to landscap- ing, where phosphates and nitrogenous fractions can be tied up and rer..ovec1 \;i th the "grass crop. n Heavy solids, metals, dusts, silt, sand, and gravel can be most effectively removed in ponds and/or clarifiers (which may be designed to remove oil and flotable solids as well). A large fraction of metals in the storm waters will adsorb upon soil solids and l'lill be taken from the water stream as settled solids. The metals rC::1:Jval efficien:::y of a prel"i;,\inary clarifi- cation step may be greatly increased by (1) raising the pIT of the runoff waters, and (2) adding clay solids to these waters. The load o~ o~ganics aS3oci~ted with trees, grass and ornamentals is vcry large. Those of us who live in the country note the daily r. ; , _,_ .................,j of pollen and dust on all quiet surfaces and the accuraulJ.:.ion of dead insec:.s in empty rooms. Par}:ing under trees invites a car di~~ed by dripping gums, bird drop- pings and dropped seeds and fruits. In short, I think that it is erroneous to assume loadings for projected par~ing lots from data derived from the E. P. A. study. It is also erroneous to believe that a fully vegetated area will yield stor;n runoff water of high quality. Leaf sur- faces are superb dust catchcrs. This is one reason \ve like grass and trees. \"/hen these dusty surfaces--holding dust that drifted from miles away--are washed by torrential showers, the wash \'later is going to be rich in various minerals and organ- ics. 'I'hese will ,.10ve vd" th the runoff. Lakes in the southern part of the United States are sharply thermally stratified through most of the year. The distinct layering of the waters of ponds and lakes--even shal- low ponds three to five feet decp--makes them unusually effi- cient as nutrient nitrogen and nutrient phosphorus removing systcr;-,s. Plankton blooms pro~uced in pc~ds that are fertilized by runoff waters are grazed by small zooplanktcrs, insect larvae, snails and other necondary for~s_ The cycling at the higher ter;1peratu!"es and briS'~ter light in t:lf2 souther:l states is much more rapid than that in Inkcs and pcn1s of the central and north8rn states. When the predatory orsan~sms die off, they fall through the therrcally str2tificd bands of \-later to the bottora--their casts, fecal pellets and other detritus generated during the cycle, move quickly to the bottom mucL A thermally stratified body of \-later is almost an ideal settling and clarifying sys- ter..--the therEal structure is essentially a "rectifier;" the probabilities of ~ovement of organizcu materials to the bo~tom are rr.any tiI71es hi,rher than the probal:>ili ties of return through flotation or eddy stirring. The role of lakes and impoundments as nutrient traps is Vlell kllO'."lD to liITlologists. The fertility of the prairies is due to the trapping of phosphorus in the bottoms of the ancient lakes that once covered the area. What is not commonly understood, is the difference in rates of capture operating in southern and tropical lakes and those of the more studied lakes of Wisconsin, Michigan and New England. In the middle thirties, for E;;;am?le, studiE;s at Auburn 'Tech at Auburn, Alabana, shO'..'ed that devclopI71ent of far~ fish ponds required hc~vy ~??lic~tic:1S of fertilizer annu- ally. The heavy bloor:1 of alSile, develo?ed after the sp::::ins fertilization, ~JS rilpidly cycled throu;h zooplankton and pred- a tory for::ls, throuC]l') !".1i::.no','ls c::r.:1d support fish, to bream and other pan fish. '''lost of th", added phozphorus nitrogen ended in the bottom r:1ud, and fresh 2pp~ications were required one or more times per year to maintain satisf~ctory fishing. (This work was done by S~insle, of Auburn, as a project designated to utilize the swanpy areas of farrnland--in part to control malaria that normally grew in these areas.) Most metals arc strongly adsorbed on silt and algal mater- ials and are carried to the bottor:1 \'li th the detri tus. Under special conditions, a fraction of the phosphorus and nitrogen and some of t~e ad30rbed metals may be returned to the over- lying water. The special conditions required are prolonged periods of anaerobiasis in which reducing conditions prevail through the Water. Phosphate is des orbed under these condi- tions, and various metals are complexed or reduced to yield soluble products. The likelihood of septic conditions of this order is small in ponds generated by parking lot ilnd roof run- off--the condition attached to gross pollution \"ith readily fe~ented organics. In short, it may be anticip~tcd that lakes designed to capture storrn runo:f from shopping centers will perform as an efficient nutrient and rnetals capturing device and that the effluents disch=.::sed to rec'eiving streams \;ill be effectively stripped of these materials.

Near the end of the meeting, I also discussed several specific items with you for the purpose of clar- ifying our interpretations Of the new requirements. The following represent our understanding as to certain requirements: , (1) Any project under continous construction before December IS, 1973 would not have to obtain a permit (one project in particular which will have attained the following status - grading essentially complete, storm and sanitary 30% complete, foundations 30% to 50% complete and structural steel ordered for January 19th delivery has been assumed to meet these require- ments and no permit application will be submitted). (2) That the data required for submission to the Department of Pollution Control for a permit can be included in the Statement for Development of Regional Impact prepared in accordance with rules of the Department of Administration (an amendment to the rules was made by one of the board members to encourage consolidation of both Departments requirements) . Mr. John Bottcher - 2 - October 1, 1973 (3) That the data and assumptions used in the sample calculations was general in nature (see my letter to Robert Dennis enclosed herewith) and that data and assumptions applicable to the specific project should be used, along with supporting documentations. (4) Thtit the application for a permit can be submitted at any time and the pr.ocessing will begin (it was indicated earlier that no application would be con- sidered before December 15, 1973). (5) That concentrations of CO of 35 PPM for i~hour or 9 PPM for 8 hours, except 12 PPM for 1 hour and 8 PPM for 8 hours in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, would automatically be denied on the basis that they exceed State Ambient Air Quality Standards. That concentrations in excess of 3.5 PPM for 1 hour and 0.9 PPM for 8 hours would require a permit, however, automatic denial of such permit should not be expected unless the State standards were exceeded. If there is any misunderstanding on our part as to the above listed criteria, please advise us at your earliest convenience as we are proceeding accordingly in preparing numerous applications for per- mits.

Assuming that 90% of the water consumption will be sewage flow, we would generate. 101 gals. per sq. ft. per day. PALM BEACH MALL (From September, 1972 to September, 1973) 38,678,605 gals. divided by 882,416 sq. ft.

Paragraphs 1 and 3 regarding projects started prior to the December 15 date and use of pertinent assumptions in the applicant's calculations are both correct with no further comment needed. Paragraph 2 appears to be correct but it should be noted that the Department will require that complex source applications be complete with all supporting data and that this data cannot be included by reference. Copies of the same data may serve a dual purpose and be submitted as a part of the DRI statement and the complex air source application when the data meets the requirements of both agencies. Paragraph 4 concerning the December 15 beginning date for processing of complex air source applications appears to be correct but it should be noted that the application should be submitted as early as it can be to allow all possible time for processing prior to the start of construction. Paragraph 5 is correct in that an application which predicts an ambient air standard violation resulting from a complex source will be rejected.

Florida Dear Mr. Ransom: Reference: Permit requirements for developments within the Lake Worth Drainaqe District Thank you for the information you were able to furnish us regarding the above. As you recall. the project we are interested in.as shown on the enclosed sketch. is a proposed approximately 1,000,000 sq. ft. shopping center located on an approximate 145 acre tract at the Northwest corner of Congress Avenue and Boynton West Road. The northern boundary of the property is along the Boynton Canal. As a result of our conversation it is our understanding that the Lake Worth Drainage District has no formal permit require- ments for projects draining into its canals. However. plans must be submitted to the district for review and approval of the drainage design and facilities. Also, as a result of our conversation with you and others with the Central and Southern Florida Flood Control District, we have learned that the retention of outflow from a project of this size would generally not be required for hydrological purposes. However, to insure that the water quality in these canals is main- tained,some degree of retention may be required. We are proceeding with our preliminary design on this basis and preliminary plans will be submitted to your office at the appropriate time. Mr. James Ransom - 2 - November 12, 1973 Once again. thank you for your assistance. Should you require any further information regarding this project, please feel free to call on us.

The project we wish to be served is located in the north- west quadrant of the intersection of Boynton West Road and Congress Avenue as shown on the enclosed sketch. It is a proposed approxi- mate 1,150,000 square foot regional shopping center to be located on an approximate 145 acre site. The project wi 1 be developed by the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation of Youngstown. Ohio. Mr. Clark has informed De that based on the amount of water required (approximately .10 gallon per sq. ft. per day) there would be no problem from a capacity standpoint to provide sewer and water service to this site. However, he felt that written confirmation would have to come from your office. We would appreciate it if you could write us a letter con- firming the availability of these services and, of course, we realizo that any confirmation would be based on the normal procedure of submitting plans and specifications far enough in advance that the required improvements could be made in an orderly and economical manner. The scheduled opening date for this project would be, tentatively, in the fall of 1976.
