Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 34425-0310 RE: Muvico Theater Addition - Boynton Beach Mall TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW Dear Mr. Rumpf: The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic study for the redevelopment project entitled; Muvico Theater Addition - Boynton Beach Mall, pursuant to the Traffic Performance Standards in Article 12 of the Palm Beach County Land Development Code. This project is summarized as follows: Location: Municipality: Existing Uses: Proposed Uses: NW Quadrant of Congress Avenue and Old Boynton Road Boynton Beach 1,244,449 SF general Retail Demolishing Existing Macy's (169,510 SF General Retail) and replace it with 79,500 SF (3,650 seats) Movie Theater. 1,603 Trip Reduction Trip Reduction New Daily Trips: New PH Trips: Build-out Year: Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the proposed re- development project generates less peak hour trips than the existing uses, and therefore, meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. No building permits are to be issued by the City, after the build-out date specified above. The County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project Aggregation Rules set forth in the Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. The following is also suggested to the City of Boynton Beach: . . Consider implementation of traffic circulation mitigation measures for the links and intersections in the vicinity of the project site, currently being identified and evaluated inthe "Central Boynton Beach Regional Traffic Circulation Study", by Kimly-Horn Associates. Potential mitigations include providing new turn-lanes, or extension of storage lengths at exclusive turn lanes at major intersections. If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.

Ocean Blvd. PO Box llO Boynton Beach, FI 33425-0310 Re: Boynton Beach Mall- Muvico Addition Dear Mr. Johnson, We are transmitting herewith 12 additional sets of the Muvico site plan package along with 12 separate copies of the Retail "A" floor plan and elevation sheet, PD A-I, which also includes the color information. As I mentioned in our phone conversation, I have submitted this revised set mainly because Muvico asked me to move their building approximately 8 ft to the north to better align the walkway between the theater and the mall. This really has minimal effect in reality, but it does impact the accuracy of all drawings related to the site work. You will also note that we have excluded the architectural sheets A-I and 30.01. Some other highlights: 1. Signed and sealed survey requested, but they have not confirmed delivery as of today, 2. We have added catch basins outside the work area as requested. 3. We have adjusted the water line connection near the southwest corner of Muvico and added fire hydrants to sheet C- 7. 4. We have added double yellow lines to the main drive aisles and eliminated the stop condition on the ring road on sheet C-8. 5. Note that Muvico has also requested that we make their entry drive one way. Appropriate signs and pavement marking has been added to sheet C- 8. 6. 12" stabilized subgrade has been added to standard pavement section on sheet C-9 7. Landscape quantities have been adjusted based on building shift and widening of the new landscape islands. We have scheduled a meeting with Kevin Hallahan for Tuesday, the 8th to review tree mitigation issues on site. Based on that meeting we will have further adjustments to the tree count with respect to relocation/mitigation.

The requested changes are as follows: 1. Add a westbound to southbound through-left turn lane on the entrance road from Congress Ave. 2. Offset the west leg of the intersection adjacent to the proposed Muvico to intersect the ring road at approximately 900 and in near alignment to the entrance road from Congress Ave. 3. Revise parking north of the intersection. 4. Create a 3-way stop at the northwest corner of the proposed Muvico. Staff has carefully considered this request and is not supportive of the proposed revisions. We offer the following concerns regarding this proposal. 1. The adjustments to the intersection of the ring road, entrance from Congress Ave. and proposed relocated west driveway would require a 4-way stop condition. The ring road has only two stop conditions in its entire circumference, both on the west side of the mall. The public is accustomed to traveling this east portion of the ring road with no stops. 2. Again with respect to the proposed changes at this intersection, if the west driveway were to be relocated it would be the only such driveway with a direct access to Congress Ave., perhaps further confusing the motorist. 3. It is our opinion that by reconfiguring the area south of the west driveway (in its existing location) additional parking could be provided. 4. The proposed intersection at the northwest corner of the Muvico in its present configuration has some deficiencies that, could, when revised, provide a safer intersection.
