All engineering construction details shall be in accordance with the applicable City of Boynton Beach Standard Drawings and the "Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" and will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application. 21 a) Understood UTILITIES 22. Please provide a timeline that clearly illustrates when water and sewer services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date for the timeline should be the date of City Commission approval. Also provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the setting of the first water meter. This time line will be used to determine the adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible. 22a) Anticipated permit application date would be after City Commission approval. Expecting permitting to be three (3) months and estimate construction to be nine (9) months after issuance of permit. Thus, the setting ofthefirst water meter shall be approximately one year after City Commission approval. 23. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the Site Plan and Landscape Plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way. 23a) Easements will be provided over the water and sewer lines as required. All easements are located in "hardscape areas". 24. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). 24a) No sewer main additions will be required and as such will not require sewer permits from the health department. The water permit will be applied for after approvals from Boynton for the water main relocations. 25. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. some residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). 4 25a) FireJlow test results will be ordered and the calculations will be subsequently provided 26. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants. 26a) All hydrants have been shown 27. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature on the Health Department application forms or within seven (7) days of site plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final meter size, or expected demand, 27a) The meter will be sized when the MEP are able to provide the requiredJlow rates 28. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable water. As other sources are readily available City water shall not be allowed for irrigation. 28a) A note has been added to the landscape plans re: irrigation water source to be well and pump system 29. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility easements. Please show all proposed easements on the engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in CODE Sec. 26-33(a). 29a) Easements for the relocated water main will be provided by separate instrument. However, we have shown the proposed locations at this time 30. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities, on condition that the systems be fully completed, and given to the City Utilities Department before the first permanent meter is set, Note that setting of a permanent water meter is a prerequisite to obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy. 30a) Understood 31. A building permit for this project shall not be issued until this Department has approved the plans for the water and/or sewer improvements required to service this project, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-15. 31a) Understood 5 32. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the building, and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26- 207. 32a) Appropriate backflow devices have been provided on water andfire service lines 33. The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(0) requires Master Plans to show all utilities on or adjacent to the proposed tract. The plan must therefore show the point of service for water and sewer, and the proposed off-site utilities construction needed in order to service this project. 33a) Water and sewer mains exist on-site. Accordingly, the only proposed installations include new services and water main relocation (on-site). 34. The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(P) requires a statement be included that utilities are available and will be provided by all other appropriate agencies. This statement is lacking on the submitted plans. 34a) Note has been added 35. Indicate proposed tenancy of the building - condo or rental. Will this be used for medical offices? This has a direct impact on proposed water demands. 35a) See Site Plan for proposed tenancy 36. Delete the note on Water & Wastewater Plan Sheet 2 of 4 regarding sizing of water meters. It is the responsibility of the designer to designate meter sizes, besides the fact that this is not the City of Delray Beach. 36a) Water meter sizing note has been deleted 37. Relocate the water main approximately 20-ft. east past the building limits to provide adequate horizontal clearance. Revise water main easement accordingly. 37a) Water main has been relocated 38. Check depths of proposed storm sewer against existing water and sewer to ensure proper vertical clearances. 38a) We have requested that the depth of the water main be verified to check the possible vertical conflicts with the proposed installations 39. Use four (4) two (2) inch taps off the main to a bank of a maximum of four meters to serve the proposed building. 39a) The water service has been revised to include one master meter 6 40. Clarify the "Water Easement" (existing) depicted on the plans. This appears to have the proposed drainage within its limits and the existing water main outside or on the very edge of it. 40a) It appears that the existing drainage and water utilities were incorrectly installed. There does appear to be a drainage structure within the existing water easement and the main does appear to be on the edge of the water main. Should this be left as an existing condition or does the existing easement need to be revised? 41. Utility construction details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All utility construction details shall be in accordance with the Utilities Department's "Utilities Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" manual (including any updates); they will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application, 41a) Understood FIRE 42.

Kemmer, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal DATE: August 17, 2005 SUBJECT: Forum Professional Center Traffic congestion and population density is a concern in this area, This situation will get worse as the density increases. Pursuit of traffic light pre- emption is essential as a remedy. To meet the increased demand additional resources are required such as personnel, apparatus, and equipment. It is imperative that Fire Station #5 be expedited to insure adequate service delivery levels and effective response times. This situation also increases the potential for mass causality events when large numbers of people occupy confined areas. This is becoming more prevalent in many areas of the city. Every added new commercial and multi-family occupancy increases the annual fire prevention inspection workload as required by ordinance. Although there have been a large number of these occupancies added in the past several years, our inspection staff has decreased. This situation has reached a point that may soon require changes in our inspection schedules that may negatively affect our future success. The past and current service level has prevented any significant fires in these occupancies for several years, New development projects involving multi-family or high-density commercial projects should be approved contingent upon consideration of future upgrades in emergency dispatch capability. These enhancements include new technology related to CAD, GIS, and AVL capability, as well as adequate staffing. All other factors (personnel, training, technology, fire station placement, building design features, etc) depend on a reliable and efficient method of getting the resources provided where they are needed in time to mitigate the consequences of an emergency, regardless of the type of response.

Congress Ave, For the purpose of this study, a statistical analysis was completed to show the percentage of increase of police calls for service for the selected project area. A crime analysis for 2004 shows that 6% off all calls for service to this zone were handled by one officer. Although this project in itself may not have a direct impact on department service requirements, the need for an additional officer in Zone 7 is evident by the high percentage of calls for service that one officer is currently handling, Due to new development at Renaissance Commons and in particular Boynton Town Center, these projects will have a direct impact on the level of services that one officer could provide, An increase of 10% of calls for service to this zone can be expected due to proposed growth, The City of Boynton Beach DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING DMSON 100 E.

Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Landscape plans (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) Provide a legend for the light poles on the Site Plan. 10. It may be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LDR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b.) 11. Specify and use City Standard Index P-14 for the sight triangles on Ocean Ave. Interior sight triangles may be 10-ft. Show sight triangles on the Landscape Plan. 12. Indicate, by note on the Landscape Plan, that within the sight triangles there shall be an unobstructed cross-visibility at a level between 2.5-ft. and 8-ft. above the pavement (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.). 13. Per the LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2. Ficus species are not permitted. 14. Staff strongly recommends placing canopy trees far enough back from drive aisles to minimize the potential for vertical conflicts with high-profile vehicles. 15. The Material Schedule in the Landscape Plan has a reference to "See Plans" for Washingtonian and Sabal Palms. No additional information was found on the plans. Please clarify. 16.

Your starting date for the timeline should be the date of City Commission approval. Also provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the setting Department of Public Works/Engineering Division Memo No. 05-103 Re: Forum Professional Center, Major Site Plan Modification - 1 sl Review August 23, 2005 Page 3 of the first water meter. This timeline will be used to determine the adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible. 23. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the Site Plan and Landscape Plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the foreseeable future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way. 24. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). 25. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. some residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). 26. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants. 27. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature on the Health Department application forms or within seven (7) days of site plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final meter size, or expected demand. 28. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable water. As other sources are readily available City water shall not be allowed for irrigation. 29. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility easements. Please show all proposed easements on the engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in CODE Sec. 26-33(a). 30. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities, on condition that the systems be fully completed, and given to the City Utilities Department before the first permanent meter is set. Note that setting of a permanent water meter is a prerequisite to obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy. 31. A building permit for this project shall not be issued until this Department has approved the plans for the water and/or sewer improvements required to service this project, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-15. 32. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the building, and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-207. \ .

The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(0) requires Master Plans to show all utilities on or adjacent to the proposed tract. The plan must therefore show the point of service for water and sewer, and the proposed off-site utilities construction needed in order to service this project. 34. The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(P) requires a statement be included that utilities are available and will be provided by all other appropriate agencies. This statement is lacking on the submitted plans. 35. Indicate proposed tenancy of the building - condo or rental. Will this be used for medical offices? This has a direct impact on proposed water demands. 36. Delete the note on Water & Wastewater Plan Sheet 2 of 4 regarding sizing of water meters. It is the responsibility of the designer to designate meter sizes, besides the fact that this is not the City of Delray Beach. 37. Relocate the water main approximately 20-ft. east past the building limits to provide adequate horizontal clearance. Revise water main easement accordingly. 38. Check depths of proposed storm sewer against existing water and sewer to ensure proper vertical clearances. 39. Use four 2-in. taps off the main to a bank of a maximum of four meters to serve the proposed building. 40. Clarify the "Water Easement" (existing) depicted on the plans. This appears to have the proposed drainage within its limits and the existing water main outside or on the very edge of it. 41. Utility construction details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All utility construction details shall be in accordance with the Utilities Department's "Utilities Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" manual (including any updates); they will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application.
