Re: Minor Site Plan Revision

Building Permit No. 042040
Dear Mr. Rumphf,
In order to more effectively utilize the internal space of our proposed club, we
have relocated the centerline of the entry element approximately twelve and one half feet
(12.5') westerly of its originally proposed location. The attached four copies of the
revised exterior elevation depict this change. We have substantially conformed to the
previously approved exterior elevation and I am confident that you will come to the same
conclusion. We are anxious to commence our construction and your prompt attention to
this request is very much appreciated. Should you require any additional information, or
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
~~~~~
Vice President of Development

Re: LA Fitness - Boynton Beach
Building Permit Application 04-2040
Dear Mr. Rumphf:
We have received building permit comments from the planning department about the above-
referenced project. Karen Main has determined that there are changes to the fac;ade that
constitute a modification to the approved site plan. Ms. Main has requested that we initiate the
minor site plan modification process.
We have discussed the minor changes to the fayade in a telephone conversation with Karen
Main. There were two primary areas of concern: the building colors and the architectural
components of the building elevations. The building colors had been mutually agreed upon
during meetings with the City of Boynton Planning Department prior to the planning submittal.
The mutually agreed upon color scheme is what has been represented on the building permit
drawings. Some finish key symbols used to indicate scheduled paint colors differed between
the planning submittal elevations and the building permit elevations. The paint colors approved
by the City Commission are the same as those specified on the building permit elevation finish
schedule. However, paint colors were noted with different key numbers in the planning submittal
finish schedule versus the building permit finish schedule. Additionally, there was one color
typographical error on the planning submittal elevations that has been corrected on this
submission. That correction is that the gridded area at the top of the rotunda is to be "snow
gum" in color as shown on the rendering. See attached color renderings showing mutually
agreed upon paint color scheme.
To clarify and rectify confusion about the color scheme, we are submitting a revised color
rendering (depicting the building architecture and color scheme as documented in the building
permit submittal) along with the originally mutually agreed upon color rendering. These two
renderings are substantially identical in color and color placement and differ only as the
architecture differs. We are also submitting an updated A-3 planning submittal sheet which has
been corrected for accuracy of color placement, updated to the current building permit
architecture, and has been updated so the color key tags correspond to the building permit set.
The building architecture evolved slightly as the building developed from the planning stages to
the building permit stage. Following is a summary of modifications to the building's exterior
architecture as a result of this evolution:

Dear Mr. Priest and/or
To Whom It May Concern:
I bought a garden home in Dos Lagos community 1.5 years ago. I chose my home in the South-East
area of the community for its location and view. I had a canal behind my home, and also the East
end of a clean coral color one story Boynton 8 Movie Theater on the other side of the canal.
Last Summer the theater was suddenly demolished without any prior notification received by us
homeowners living in the neighboring residential area. To my great disappointment a very tall
concrete walls were later pulled up - simultaneously lowering the value of my home. My view
now is a solid concrete wall that looks like it is three stories high, no windows! The wall is higher
than the roof of the building. I do not even see the sky, just the wall! The building is also longer than
the previous one, blocking any views that I used to have.
How can you approve such a plan for a building next to an existing residential area? Isn't there a law
requiring you to notify the homeowners, and have public hearings? It would have been better for me
to buy a home next to 1-95, as the wall along the highway is only about one third of the height of the
L.A. Fitness building! I had no idea that the City would allow for anything like this without proper
hearings, and giving a chance for the homeowners in the neighboring residential area to voice their
opinions, and to have the builder make necessary changes to the plans.
I called the building department when the walls first went up, (and so did many of my neighbors),
and I was assured by a female employe~ that all the trees that used to be between the concrete block
existing fence and the movie theater building will be replaced. None of them have been replaced thus
far. She also told me that the building will be painted nice tropical color to make it look better. The
new building is now being painted, however, it is concrete gray with a mud color horizontal line
across the back wall that is facing my home!
Also, there are numerous plastic bags, large sheets of vinyl and insulation materials in the canal and
in the area between the water and the fence. They most likely were blown fro
