Boynton Beach Blvd. P.O. Box 310 Boynton Beach, Florida 33425 Re: Exterior Sound Minor Modification Approval Simon Contract Boynton Beach Mall Boynton Beach, Florida KdG Project No. 040212-0001 Dear Mr. Breese: Weare pursuing a minor modification approval to allow exterior speakers for the Boynton Beach Mall Expansion. This action is based on review comments from Karen Main, dated May 13, 2005, in which no outside speakers are allowed in the City of Boynton Beach. This comment was made due to the fact that the speakers in question were not part of the original submittal package for site approval. In the design of a mall for Simon Properties Group, music is a very important aspect to the atmosphere they wish to create for customers. At the Boynton Beach site, the purpose for sound is to serve as an audible pathway from the shops and restaurants down to Muvico. The music creates a mood that entices one to sit on a sidewalk bench to relax after hours of shopping and enjoy the surroundings. Iviusic also serves as an interest point for the restaurant tenants to pull customers from outside into their establishment to dine. The music style is limited to instrumental or easy listening to create a soothing atmosphere. The sound system is designed with constant supervision from the Sound System Integrator to ensure a quality design that is not only audibly pleasing but also compliments the surrounding landscape and overall design of the space. Currently our drawings show three speakers down the main sidewalk between the new shops and Muvico, two speakers south of the main sidewalk on an auxiliary sidewalk to Muvico and finally one speaker near park benches in a courtyard setting up near the existing mall. Additionally, along the new storefronts, the drawings show six building mounted speakers, mounted up underneath parapets and two speakers mounted undemeath the entrance canopy. The pole mounted speakers are approximately 60' -0" apart mounted on 14' -0 high lampposts, with final mounting at 12'-0" (2'-0" from top of post). The sound radius of the speakers is 30'-0". Volume is controlled at the main sound rack located in the mall office while speakers are operational during mall hours from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.rn. K,t< , Simon takes great pride in designing their spaces ensuring that a shopping experience at a Simon Mall is one of a kind. Music is one way that separates them from their competition. Enclosed are four sets of drawings with highlighted speaker locations and cut sheets. We look forward to hearing your decision. Sincerely, Kuhlmann design Group, Inc. I"~ .
