15. 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.

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.

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.

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. This

~able ~rovides the following: Average velocity and predominant
wind direction by month; nonnal monthly average and highest and
lowest recorded temp8ratures; and the average monthly rainfall in
inches. 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.

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

barely perceptible in 1976 when the proposed mall first opens.
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.

At 100 meters from the road, the 1976 CO concentration
decreases to 1.71 ppm or 14.2 percent of the standard.
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.

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.

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

in acoustic levels of from 2 to 3 dBA for each doublinq of
traffic volume. 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

Estimates

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.

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. Exhibit 5 is an
aerial view of the site and surrounding area in its existing
state.

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. The subsoil is almost white. A
black-stained layer 4-6 inches thick occurs about 36-40 inches

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.

(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.

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.

Trees will be retained, planted or transplanted in accordance with
the county ordinance.
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.

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

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

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.

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.

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:

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:

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.

27. Water Supply
a. 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

In order to meet present and future demands, the City of Boynton
Beach has nndertaken a major \'Jater improvement progra!':"1 as follows:
Phase I - To include all improvements necessary to provide
Idater service to the area between the ocean and !1ilitary Trail
through 1980. 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

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.

The proposed shopping center site can be served by the extension of
the existing 16-inch water main in Con?ress Avenue, which presently
terminates north of Canal Lateral 24, north of };. t'~. 2nd Avenue.
Based on completion schedules and the magnitude of the water system
improvement program, the City anticipates no problem in accommodatin?
thp estimated daily water demands of the shoppinq center by openinq
date in the fall of 1976. A memol"Candum to this effect is included
in the Appendix of this Application.
c. Potable ',jater

or
d. Sufficient Quantity for Growth plus Reserve
Development of a new well field and related treatment, transmission
and distribution system improvements planned for the City of Boynton
Beach and its western reserve annexation area, will increase capacity
to meet present and projected community demands.
This program has been initiated. 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

As noted earlier in this application, impacts are based on a
mall development of 1,008,000 gross leasable square feet. 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.

d. 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.

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.

PATRON TRAFFIC ASSIGNMHITS

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.

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. Survey and Photographs
Exhibit 9 is an aerial photograph of the site and surrounding area.
A survey of the site has been furnished to the SFRPC.

TYRONE SQUARE SHOPPING MALL
ST. 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.

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.

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.

AIR QUALITY - SOURCES OF DATA, ASSUMPTIONS, TECHNIQUES
Climatological Data
Unfavorable meteorological assumptions were used to provide a con-
servative estimate of pollutant dispersion from major roads and the parking
area, The State of Florida Department of Pollution Control establishes the
following parameters for the worst dispersion conditions:
Class D atmospheric, stability
A steady wind speed of 1 m/sec
A 22.50 (degree) angle of intersection between
wind direction and highway alignment
The source of historical weather data analysis was the Applied
Climatology Division of the National Climatic Center. 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.

It is clea:::- from the r:\etals analyses and the information
on o:::-ganic N, that most of the r.-.et2.1s are not from auto:nobiles
but from stack solids in the fallout. 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.

Dear Bonnie:
I appreciate the time you spent with Jack Nute of our
Miami office and myself last week in discussing requirements for
the filing of impact statements on developments of regional im-
p:,::,t. ,':2 also apprccci.3.i:c ~bc supplemental information which you
furn i~;hcd
~-
LU
us.
As I iildicated to you in our telephone conversation
yesterday 3.fternoon, we think tl-.at some of the supplemental re-
quirements (cbemical analysis of ground water samples, etc.) would
place 2_n unreasonab:"'e burden on the applicant. It was very com-
forting to fir:d O:.1t that you do have some flexibility in these
requiremen7s "hen the b3.sic data ::'s not readily available from
any r82sonablc source.
On the other matters which we discussed, we are treating
them along the lines which you suggested as outlined below:
1. Lands O\vned by the applicant contiguous to the
proposed development but not scheduled for im-
mediate improvements will be identified only
as to the fact that they are in the same Oy,'!1er-
ship and will not be assessed in the DRI.
Ms. Bonnie Barnes
-2-
September 6, 1973
2. Minor adjustments in size (sq. feet or number
of parking spaces) up to about 10 percent \Vill
be shown by a range with the impact assessment
beiny made on the higher limits.
We slllcere ly ctppL'eclct te the coopera tior! and c.Ssistallce
which you 3.re providing us and look forward to working cl03ely
with you in the :::ut~re on DRI applications for our clients.

Dear ~x. Bottcher:
Reference: Department of Pollution Control
Permit for Complex Sources
I attended the Pollution control Board meeting held in Tampa
on September 24 to present testimony and ask questions pertinent to
the above referenced subject. 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. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,

Re: Florida Impact Studies
Dear Wallace:
In support of the O. 1 gallon per day per square foot sewage flow figure
for shopping centers, I am forwarding copies of the actual water meter
readings on our Tyrone Square and Palm Beach Mall.
The total water consumption is as follows:
TYRONE SQUARE (From September 21, 1972 to September 20, 1973)
36,140,400 gals. divided by 881,567 sq. ft. (total leasable
area excluding Sears) divided by 365 days per year =
O. 1123 gals. per day per sq. ft. of leasable area.
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. (total leasable
area) divided by 365 days per year = 0.1201 gals. per
day per sq. ft. of leasable area.
Assuming that 90% of the water consumption will be sewage
flow, we would generate .108 gals. per sq. ft. per day.
Attached, for your information, is a copy of our leasing plot plan on
each project (Tyrone Square #35 dated 10/1/73 and Palm Beach Mall
#48 dated 2/14/73) which indicates the small store tenant mix.
If you have any questions on the attached information, please call.

SUBJECT: AP - SIP - Complex Sources
Dear Mr. Hawkes:
The following information is presented in response to
your letter of October 1, 1973 to John Bottcher.
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. Further, we anticipate that
no single complex source will be allowed to use all of the

Lake Worth Drainage Di_trict
Post Office Box 711
Delray Beach. 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.

Dear Mr. Kohl:
Reference: Request for Confirmation of availability of
Sewer and Water Service in the Boynton Beach
service area
In connection with an application for development approval
as required by section 380.06 (6) Florida Statutes governing devel-
opments of regional impact, Mr. Thomas Clark, Boynton Beach City
Engineer. has suggested that we direct our request for confirmation
of the availability of gervice to your office.
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.

Dear Mrs. Harding:
Reference: Historical or Archeological value of proposed

determine its whereabouts.
We would appreciate notification of any information you may
develop through your research. In the interum. however. we would
appreciate it if you would sign and return one copy of this letter
