Boynton Beach, FL 33426
Dear Mr. Norem:
As a follow-up to our telephone conversation, this letter will review some facts regarding the common
placement of cremation equipment within a funeral facility.
Matthews Cremation Division has been designing, manufacturing and installing combustion systems for
a broad range of industries for over 50 years. Weare recognized as the leader in cremation equipment,
with over 2,000 installations throughout the United States and 50 countries. Our designs have been
granted U.S. patents, and have been adopted as industry standards for quality and performance. In
addition, we are the largest service and repair organization, servicing all brands of cremation equipment.
Our company has been involved with the various fields of combustion for many years, and directly
related to the cremation industry for almost 52 years. We are a member in good standing with the
Cremation Association of North America, and became its first supplier member approximately 40 years
ago.
As the largest manufacturer of cremation equipment, our company annually markets over 70% of our
production to the funeral industry. Most funeral establishments are located in residential communities
and/or light commercial areas, since they are there to serve the local population. The cremation equip-
ment is installed within the funeral home and is generally considered by most zoning regulations to be an
extension of existing business and/or services.
The equipment operates without smoke or odor, and each and every installation must be permitted by the
environmental authorities for the city, state or province in which it is installed. The equipment we
manufacture is Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed, confirming maximum safety of both equipment
and personnel. .
In addition, in Canada our equipment is built to the standards of the Canadian Gas Association (CGA),
and is inspected and approved by them for safety of both the electrical and gas control systems.
Each model manufactured by our company is tested by an independent testing laboratory against
standards set forth by the federal government. Our equipment's emission levels are less than half the
allowable standards to ensure environmental quality. Residents of the area will not be aware that the
equipment is operating.

All machinery that performs combustion, whether automobiles or furnaces of any type (fireplaces or
crematories), gives off byproducts referred to as particulate mailer. Because of our equipment's high
quality standards, these byproducts are not visible, nor is there an odor of the material being combusted.
The equipment operates automatically and has built-in pollution detection equipment that constantly
supervises the operation, safeguarding against pollution and environmental impact. Cycle time is
approximately two hours. When this cycle time is multiplied by the annual frequency of use, the actual
hours of operation become insignificant.
I have enclosed a chart comparing combustion by an automobile, a diesel truck, and a cremator operating
for a two-hour period (the cycle time of a cremation). As you can clearly see, the cremator has far lower
emission levels. The data on the automobile and truck comes from the United States government, and the
information regarding pollutants from the crematory is based on actual test results.
The present rate of cremation in this country is approximately 28%. The projections are that it will grow
within the next ten years to 38% - 42%. It is of vital importance that these services be locally available to
residents of the community, to help minimize cost to them and fulfilling their demands.
I appreciate your interest and concern regarding the basic information surrounding the installation of
cremation equipment. Please feel free to distribute this letter of information to any individuals and/or
group that might have interest.
Should you or others require additional information or have questions about anylhing in this letter, please
call me using our toll-free number: 800-327-2831.
Yours very truly,
Ibjs

Incinerators
Guide Information for Heating. Cooling. Ventilating and Cooking Equipment
The following are factory-built incinerators or waste burners not requiring field construction. They are intended
for use inside of buildings when connected to an appropriate chimney or venting system. Listed incinerators are
divided into three groups: Commercial-Industrial Type, Domestic Type, and Special Type as described
hereafter.
Electrical features which are a part oflisted incinerators have been reviewed for conformity with the
Laboratories" requirements. The branch circuit supplying an incinerator should be in accordance with the
National Electrical Code.
Incinerators should be installed with the clearances to combustible construction and on the kind of flooring
specified on the incinerator and in a room that is large compared to the size of the incinerator.
Incinerators are comparable to solid fuel burning stoves and furnaces. Therefore care should be exercised to
avoid overfilling especially with rapidly burning materials such as grease, paper, wood, etc., and also to contain
and dispose of ashes safely.

D. Standards for Evaluating Conditional Uses
1. Ingress and egress to the subject property and proposed structures thereon, with
particular reference to the automobile and pedestrian safety and convenience,
traffic flow and control, and access in case of fire or catastrophe.
The existing traffic flow will not change. The main entrance access occurs
through a one-way entrance on the West side of the site directly off of Boynton
Beach Blvd. A one-way exit onto Boynton Beach Blvd is positioned just to the
East of the building while additional access can be made from N W 8'h Street
along the East side of the site. Minimal access can also occur from the rear off
of N W 1" A venue. Traffic flows in a counter clockwise motion around the
building. With the main entrance located on the North side of the building
adjacent Boynton Beach Blvd, pedestrian access does not have to cross internal
traffic patterns to enter the building. The building is surrounded by drive aisles
on all four sides making access by emergency vehicles and personnel to any of
the three entry points exceptionally easy.
2. Off-street parking and loading areas where required, with particular attention to
the items in D.l. above, and the economic, glare, noise, and odor effects the
condition use will have on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The conditional use requested will not have any effect upon adjacent property
owners or the city as a whole because the crematory does not cause glare, noise,
or odors and based upon the fact that it will be an accessory use to the already
existing funeral home, which has operated on the same site for twenty three years,
will not have any economic effect on any of the surrounding properties or
businesses. Off-street parking is situated on the site, as described in D.l. above
and is more than adequate in that there are more parking spaces than are
required by City code, and many of the parking spaces are larger than required.
This was done to make it easier for the older, driving, visitors.
3. Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to the items in subsection D.l.
and D.2. above.
All deliveries are made at the rear of the existing building through an overhead
garage-type door adding noise reduction and privacy to all deliveries. With the
approval of the conditional use, traffic will actually be reduced. With the lack of
a crematory, at this time, the deceased must be taken from the home to other
facilities when cremation is requested. This additional trip will not have to be
made after the conditional use is granted. Refuse will be collected, as it has been
for the past twenty-three years, at the southeast rear corner of the site.
4. Utilities, with reference to locations, availability, and compatibility.
The funeral home is existing. All utilities are already existing to the site except
for gas which will be requiredfor the operation of the crematory unit.
5. Screening, buffering and landscaping with reference to type, dimensions, and
character.
The new addition of approximately 773 sf. will be placed in the rear, S.E. corner
of the existing building. This area was designed for an addition when the original
building was designed in the late seventies. The design will be as such that it will
not look like an addition but a part of the existing building in shape, size, color,
and roofing materials. Therefore additional screening and buffering, other than
what exists today for the existing facility will not be needed. The present funeral
homes appears to be just that...a home. The residential character of the existing
building and that of the addition blends very well with the buildings of the
surrounding neighborhood.
6. Signs, and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare, traffic safety,
economic effect, and compatibility and harmony with adjacent and nearby
property.
A monument sign exists on the North side of the existing building acijacent
Boynton Beach Blvd. No change in this sign is requested. The only other signs
are directional parking area signs and He. parking signs. Similarly, all parking
lot lighting is existing as it has been for twenty-three years. It is low intensity and
directed away from adjacent property lines.
7. Required setbacks and other open spaces.
The new addition will be no closer to the property lines than the existing building
is today. The existing building only approaches the required setbacks along the
portico on the East side of the structure. All other sides well exceed any setback
requirements. The new addition will exceed any required setbacks by at least 15'.
8. General compatibility with adjacent properties, and other properties in the zoning
district.
The existing funeral home is, for the most part, a low traffic generatingfacility
except for times of funerals themselves. On a daily basis, traffic is light. The
design is a residential style of architecture. The grounds are spacious and well
landscaped. It therefore is very compatible with surrounding residential areas
and other properties in the zoning district.
9. Height of buildings and structures, with reference to compatibility and harmony to
adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The existing building is a maximum of 23' high at the peak of the roof The style
of the building is residential. The new addition will have a sloped roof to match
the existing. The buildings on adjacent properties to the South and West are also
residential in style. To the East along N. W 8'h Street is a commercial box-type
design structure. Being a low, residential, designed structure the existing
building is in harmony and very compatible with adjacent and nearby structures
and the city as a whole.
10. Economic effects on adjacent and nearby properties, and the city as a whole.
The conditional use, if granted, will not appreciably change the operation of the
existing business. The business will continue to operate, as it has done for the
past twenty three years, with no new economic effects, one way or another, on
adjacent and nearby properties or the city as a whole.
11. Conformance to the standards and requirements which apply to site plans, as set
forth in Chapter 4 of the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations.
The addition to this structure will comply with standards as set forth in the City of
Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations. The addition will not generate
additional traffic and therefore non of the existing site related elements will be
changed in any way. The existingfacilities was approved and conforms to
standards which apply to site plans as set forth in the Land Developoment
Regulations.
12. Compliance with, and abatement of nuisances and hazards in accordance with the
performance standards, Section 4.N of Chapter 2; also, conformance to the City of
Boynton Beach Noise Control Ordinance, Chapter 15, Section 15.8 or the
Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances.
The general atmosphere of the existing business, a funeral home, is peace and
quite. The addition of a crematorium will not change the business in any way.
The structure and business was constructed and has been maintained and
operatedfor the past twenty three years in such a way as not to be a nuisance or
hazard to adjacent persons or adjacent properties to the site. It does not and will
not produce, through its operation, any noise, vibrations, smoke, odors, toxic or
noxious matter, heat, humidity, glare, liquid waste, solid waste, electromagnetic
interference, or hazardous materials. II will also be in compliance with the City
of Boynton Beach's Noise Control Ordinance in as much as it does not and will
not produce any unnecessary noise which may injure the health or welfare or
degrade the quality of life of the citizens and residents of the City of Boynton
Beach.
13. Required analysis. All conditional use application for bar, nightclubs and similar
establishments shall include the analysis of sound emitting devices.
This analysis is not requiredfor this conditional use application.

Ollar Mr. Norem,
Several perfonnance standards (ilem N) set forth by the City of Boylon Beach WlII be addressed in this
I_r as they pertain 10 our cremators. The following addresses each issue as a line item:
-~
. Noise - Our crerrultor noisc level is tolerable to anyone within the: same room. Decibel levels
aroWld 70-80; dB which is comparable to a hair dryer or a vacuum.
. Vibrations - The vibrations created by our cremator arc SlriClly created by a S-hp blower.
Vibrations ~ hardly noticeable from the opposite end of the crcrnator, and practically zero from
anywhere el~ in the room.
. Smoke - Out, eremator is equipped with a pro-active opacity monitor which when triggered by
opacity greater than 15% discontinues the cremation until opacity levels reach normal levels.
This IS accOllllplished internally prior to discharge.
. Odors, fumes and IOxie matter - All of these issues are addressed by our operating temperature in
the sccondal'J( chamber (1600-1800 F) and our design retention time (> I sec.), Maintaining this
temperature in the after eharnbef and retention lime we ensure lhat odors and pollutants are dealt
with within the machine before entering the atmosphere. Emission levels are welt below
altowable state levels (Source Test Summary attachcd)_
. FirelExplosion Hazard - Our cremators are Underwriters Laboratories, UL Listed, File number
MHl4647,Listing Number 87E8,
. Heat, humidity, or glare - Heat release by our machine is minimal due 10 11.1/2 inches of
combined insulation used 10 fabricate the machine.
. Liquid waste'- Not applicable.
. Solid wasle ~ The cremated human remains are returned to the familie. for final disposition.
. Electromagnetic Interference - None is produced by our cremalor.
. HlWIrdous Waste - Not applicable 10 Our crcmatots.

The IE43-PPII, Powi:!r-pak II cremator has a multiple chamber design with a 100 pound per
hour nominal burning capacity. A human body enclosed in a wooden or cardboard container or
animal tissue is loaded Into the primary chamber. The afterburner ignites and heals the
secondary chamber' to the required temperature. A process controller that automatically
modulates the gas supply to the afterburner maintains the se~ndary chamber temperature.
After the secondary thamber has been heated sufficiently, the cremation burner ignites and the
cremation process i$ iniliated. A typical cremation takes 90 to 150 minutes, but the time may
vary depending on trye body weight and various other factors. i
A gas flow schemaUd is shown in Figure 1. Process rates for t/:le test are Included In the

FINDING: Thisi project will not have a significant effect on Ithe environment.
REASONS TO S~PPORT FINDING: . .
An initial study wa~ prepared that identified three areas of potential concern; air quality. odor.
and noise. The ap~licant independent studies for the equipment that indicate that in terms of
air quality the equipment will generate less pollutants than an average automobile and far less
than a traditional "replace. In terms of odor the same consuUant found no noticeable odor.
Finally a noise anialysis found that the noise generated by the equipment is less than the
