The first condition requests that the applicant submit an updated Boynton Commerce Center PID master plan showing current parking configuration, requirements, and excess parking spaces. Staff will verifY for completeness and accuracy prior to the issuance of the first occupational license on Lot 3B. In response, I would like to bring to your attention that the master plan was not required to be updated when the site plan approval was granted for Lot 3B. The rationale was that, since Lot 3B was the remaining lot to be developed within the Pill, it was not necessary to update the master plan. The approved site plan for Lot 3B, in conjunction with the previously approved master plan, would depict the final layout of the PID. Staff was in agreement and the approvals were handled in that manner. In addition, during the approval process, a letter dated May 21, 2003, along with a parking breakdown for the Pill and a copy of the latest approved master plan, signed and sealed by A virom & Associates, was submitted to Mike Rumpf. This detailed the amount of excess, or 'unallocated' common area parking for the Pill. This was accepted and the site plan approval was based upon those figures. )i~! t:~ i,:, i' ",: ''li!I:' :i)(, \\,,,1 h!m !-k,hh.

I would like to request that staff accept this documentation as evidence of the amount of un allocated parking spaces within the PID and remove condition number one from the approval. This project on Lot 3B, developed by Levitt Commercial, is another very successful venture. All the units are under contract and are scheduled to close in October. There is a possibility that the developer may not be involved in the project at the point when individual owners are in the process of applying for occupational licenses. By addressing this comment at this time, we can avoid any confusion when the new owners are applying for licences. The second condition states that oversized vehicles and/or associated equipment for contractors are specifically prohibited from parking within the confines of the standard parking stalls. The purchaser has stated that the vehicles will fit into the confines of the standard parking stalls. A written confirmation from the user will be forwarded to your office by the end ofthe day tomorrow. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Please call if you have any questions regarding the documentation submitted in response to the first condition.

Per our discussion on May 16,2003,1 understand that it is the City's position that a Master Plan amendment to the approved PID would be required if a parking lot is being proposed to be constructed on Parcel3H as part of this site plan review. In response, the submitted plans have been revised to indicate the area as proposed future parking (Phase II) and request for approval of same is not included in this site plan application submittal. All site calculations labeled as Phase I, including parking tabular data, are based on the plan to be approved without this parking area. We are requesting a condition of approval be that the Phase II parking lot shall not be constructed until the project is processed through the appropriate City approval process. Also, in response to your request for verification ofthe amount ofunallocated common parking for the PID, I have enclosed a copy of the latest master plan for the project. The surveying firm of A virom & Associates, Inc. has verified the amount of existing parking within the PID and their seal attests to same. Attached to the survey is a breakdown which indicates the existing buildings and uses, the calculation of their required parking, parking provided, and parking utilized out of the common parking. This indicates that there are 128 parking spaces remaining in the common area parking which are not yet allocated towards meeting required parking. 15:\2 Old Okeechobce Road, Suite 106.

I .I RE: Boynton Commerce Center Planned Industrial Development Use List Revisions Request to Allow an Air Conditioning Installation & Repair Business, with Associated T....ck Parking Our File No, 02-030,06 Dear Mr, Rumpf: At your direction, and subsequent to verbal and written communications, this letter shall serve as a request for use approval to allow an air conditioning installation and repair business, with truck parking, to locate within the building currently under construction on Lot 3B within the Boynton eommerce Center. The use being proposed is an air conditioning and heating business which does new installations, replacements and repair of residential and commercial aJc units, The use is proposed to occupy a bay totaling 3,162 square feet, being comprised of an office consisting of 600 square feet and warehouse/shop area consisting of the remainder. The business has four standard size commercial vans and one small size box truck. One of the vans is the owner's and is taken home each night, as typically are at least two (2) additional vans, However, the business owner would like the ability to park any number of the vehicles on the site overnight unrestricted, as is allowed for similar uses in other Planned Industrial Parks within the City, The current use list allows contractor shops and storage under the Operations Center, which requires an increase office component, However, it specifically prohibits truck parking, I would like to offer that the use being proposed in not a 'contractor', but a trade, A contractor is defined as a person or firm that contracts to build things, while a trade involves the performance of skilled work. I have attached a print out from the Skilled Trades website (www.skiledtrades.com)whichlistsconstruction and industrial trade categories, The list includes various trades, such as electrician, floor covering installer, glazier and metal mechanic, painter, plumber, remgeration and air-conditioning mechanic, sprinkler and fire protection installer, etc, A review of the approved use list will reveal that many of these uses are allowed under Section I. C.!. Mr. Michael Rumpf May 17, 2004 Page 2 The use requested is allowed in the M-l zoning district/industrial land use category throughout the eity and fits very well into a 'flex type' building such as the one being constructed on Lot 3. Actually, the current attached use list under Section I. C.l. already allows the uses as listed in Section 8.A.!.c.(7). of the Boynton Beach Zoning eode. Section 8.A.!.c. heading describes storage, distribution and wholesale uses allowed and item (7) specifically allows: (7) Heatiru!. coo1im!. ventilating, refrigeration, solar energy, water conditioning and heating systems and equipment, and major appliances, including retail sales. It is important to note that many of the approved uses under Section I.C.~. have an 'installation' component involved in the operation, as that is the nature of the businesses. For example, under Section 8.A.l.c.( 4), many of the building materials listed, such as shades, shutters, ]:>linds, awnings, J . ~ carpeting, tile, etc., w.ould offer ~ion as part of then: bus~ess. .J(' It iruR~ 1~'kJ -r::.~ -~ "h_ ,-----. I1uw ,').(~ CCYvfYCltfP1 (s .tf,d~ t S ~ ~' tr: (1-1/ Conversations with the potential user also support the presumption that the proposed use is a crt. , warehouse/distribution use allowed under the current use list. The majority of the square footage is being proposed for a warehouse area where supplies will be stored prior to being taken to job sites. Thus, both the warehouse and distnbution aspects are being performed by the business. Warehouse and distribution uses are allowed in the PID with no restrictions related to truck parking associated with those uses. Based upon the above justification, I would like to respectfully request that you reconsider the requirement that a use list revision would be required in order to allow this business to locate within the PID. It seems to follow that. if the use is considered allowed under the warehouse/distribution list and is considered a trade rather than a contractor it would. therefore. have no restrictions on truck oarkiru!.. Again, other warehouse/distnbution uses allowed in the PID do not have restrictions on truck parking. If it is determined that a use list revision is required, I would be proposing to simply add the use of "Air eonditioning, Heating and eooling Warehouse, Distribution and Installation" under Section I.e.!. (see attached list). This would be in addition to the use being listed under the aforementioned item (7). I believe the addition at this section of the use list will make any concerns regarding truck parking for contractors null and void. Please be aware that the attached list takes into account the current request to allow a dance studio on Lot 3B. That request will be heard prior to this application and I can revise the list if necessary after action has been taking on that item.

In addition, the owner utilizes one of the vans for transportation to and from work and will be taking it home each night. Typically, at least two (2) of the employees also utilize the vans for transportation and those, also, would be taken home at night, leaving only one van and the small box truck to be parked overnight. However, the user is requesting to be allowed to park the vehicles with no restrictions, in case of unforeseen circumstances which could arise, Due to the small number of vehicles which wouid be typically parked overnight, in conjunction with the overabundance of unallocated parking for the center, we feel the request is reasonable and justified, I will call you this morning to discuss, Thank you for alerting me to your concerns so that I could address them, Joni Joni Brinkman, AICP Winston Lee & Assoc" Inc, 1532 Old Okeechobee Road #106 West Paim Beach, FL 33409 561-689-4670 Fax 561-689-5559 8/5/2004
