RE:
Grove Plaza
TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW
Dear Mr. Rumpf:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic generation statement for
the revised development plan of the proposed project entitled; Grove Plaza, pursuant to
the Traffic Performance Standards in Article 12 of the Palm Beach County Land
Development Code, This project is summarized as follows:
Location: SE corner of Lawrence and Hypoluxo Roads
intersection.
Municipality: Boynton Beach
Existing & Approved Uses: 7,200 SF Fast Food Restaurant, Gas Station with 12
Pumps, 2,940 SF Convenience Store, 15,560 SF Genera! Retail, and
3,800 SF Bank WDT,
Proposed Uses: 1 Stall Full Service Car Wash, Gas Station with 12
Pumps, 2,940 SF Convenience Store, 25,985 SF General Retail, and
14,468 SF General Office,
New Daily Trips: 3,568 - Note: The revised plan shall generate less daily
trips than the original approval.
New PH Trips: 193 AM and 309 PM - Note: The revised plan shall
generate less AM and PM peak hour trips than the original approval.
Build-out Year: 2007
Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the revised development
plan generates less daily and peak hour trips than previously approved, 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,
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030,
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF THE COU

Comment: 7. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets.
Response: Written and graphic scales have been provided on all sheets.
Comment: 13. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations in accordance with
the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5 will be required at the time of permitting.
Response: Drainage calculations for this parcel are not required since the
proposed 44 l.f. of exfiltration trench meets the permitted drainage approved in the
master drainage plan for the Grove Plaza development.
Comment: 14. Maximu runoff distance over impervious surface before diversion to
percolation areas is fifty (50) feet (LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section %.B.2.a)
Response: LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section S.B.2.a also estates that it
excludes roofs, sports fields, roadway gutters and storm sewers. Therefore, we
believe it does not apply to our plans. Please advice.
Comment: 15. Provide a typical section for the parking lot and swales.
Response: A typical cross section has been added to the civil plans.

Re: Grove Plaza Parcel "C" /
DEe 2 0 1.004

To whom it may concem:
Please consider the following findings, regarding the standards for evaluating conditional uses, as per
the City of Boynton Beach Code:
1, Ingress and egress to the subject property and proposed structures so as to respect the general
health, safety and welfare of the community, Automobile and pedestrian access ways are designed
with respect to the safety and convenience of the community, to enhance traffic flow and control,
and to provide safe access in case of fire or catastrophe.
2, Off-street parking and loading areas are designed to meet and exceed city regulations, The
parking lot and loading areas are properly buffered with landscape as required by the City, and
their design respects the health, safety and welfare of the community, There is no negative impact
to the neighboring properties, or the city as a whole.
3, Refuse and service areas are properly designed to route trash pick up through the rear of Grove
Plaza, as intended by the original Grove Plaza Master Plan, The rear drive access essentially
routes service trucks away from the public automobile and pedestrian access ways, thus creating a
safe environment for the community at large,
4, Utilities are located as required by the original master plan, Therefore, the proposed conditional
use has no adverse effect on the original utility plan provided by the original Master Plan,
5. Screening and buffering, including landscaping which exceeds the code requirements, has been
carefully worked out by our design professional in conjunction with City staff, Specific design
elements such as the entry arches have been provided to properly screen the building use from the
main arterial road, In addition, oversized landscape islands with generous landscaping have been
provided to further buffer the building sides,
6, Signs and proposed exterior lighting will match the requirements of the original Master Plan,
Therefore, the proposed conditional use will have no negative impact on the community, In fact the
subject properties signage and exterior lighting will be identical to that of a non-conditional use
project
7, Provided side set backs exceed the city requirements, Further more, the provided setbacks allows
for generous landscaping and open spaces between the propose project and the neighboring
property, thus enhancing the overall character of the development, and the health, safety and
welfare of the community
8. The proposed project has been designed to strictly follow the design criteria of the original Master
Plan, Therefore, the project is compatible with current and future surrounding structures and other
property in the zoning district
..
. Page 2
December 17, 2004
9, The height of the proposed project is compatible with the adjacent buildings, therefore contributing
to the harmony of the Grove Plaza development and the City as a whole,
10, The proposed project will have a positive economic effect on the nearby properties, The proposed
use will not only compliment other service uses within Grove Plaza, but will contribute in attracting
customers to its neighbors, Overall, the proposed project will be a positive economic contribution to
the City as a whole.
11, The proposed project strictly conforms to all standards and requirements which apply to site plans,
as set forth in Chapter 4 of the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations,
12, The proposed project will fully comply with performance standards regarding abatement of
nuisances and hazards, Section 4 N of Chapter 2; and also to the City of Boynton Beach Noise
Control Ordinance, Chapter 15, and Section 15,8 of the Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances,

#8 _ Lighting fixtures are added to Landscape Plan and notated with "Site Lighting Typo"
#9 _ With respect to the site triangle and the 8' ct. minimum requirement, (2) llex cassine and (2)
Calophyllum trees were replaced by (2) Live Oak trees (Quercus virginiana) Natives which are
easier to find with an 8' ct. All ground covers and shrubs can be maintained below 30".
#10 - Additional notes specifying a 2.5' and 6' ct. cross-visibility were removed.
#11 _ The Gumbo Limbo, Calophyllum. Silver Buttonwood and Pigeon Plum trees are as far
from the property line as possible. The portion of planting area from the property line to the
cement curb is only 5' - 0". All trees need room for their root balls usually 24" - 30" diameter
or more.
# 12 - The Gumbo Limbo located in the planting median near the east property line was relocated
to 17' - 0" in from the property line and noted ''tree to be located to minimize potential
conflicts" .

#40 _ A dimension string showing 4' - 6" DBH was added to the Tree and Palm detail.
#41 _ Calophyllum trees were switched out and Clusia Rosea which is a native was put in its
place - Live Oaks replaced (2) Calophyllum because of sight triangle requirements.
#42 _ Smaller scale trees used such as "signature trees" were not located at the ingress/egress
locations because of a 25' required view triangle and a limited space at the exit lane. Instead, (2)
Bougainvillea trees were added to planting berm running along Hypoluxo Road.
#43 _ All shrubs in plant list are notated as follows; 24" ht. X 24" spr. Minimum. The "Typical
Shrub Layout Detail" also shows a 24" spacing layout of all shrubs. The "Shrub and
Groundcover Planting Detail" also shows the 24" ht. And 24" spr. of plants upon installation.
groundcovers require 12" - 18" depending upon note in Plant List.
#44 _ The raised berm was added to "elevation view concept sketch facing west" on Sheet L-2.
This drawing is done at a scale of 1" = 20'. The berm is 24" at high point and 5' - 0" at its
widest.
#46 _ The Landscape Plan can and should be measured using an engineering scale of 1" = 20' to
locate the placement of the trees and palms. Shrubs and groundcover will be spaced according to
the notes in the description; Specs column part of the Plant List adjacent to the plant name.
#47 _ At a scale of 1" = 20' it would be impossible to draw a circle for each plant going to be
installed. It would be so busy it would be impossible to read.
#49 - Native tree species totals were recalculated.
Plannine: and Zonine:
#60 - More than 500,4 of plant material on site will be native.
#61 - Plant material quantities have been rechecked.
#62 - Corrected on notes L-l.

#63 _ Lantana is interchanged to provide revolving color.
#64 _ A berm 2' wide at its narrowest to 5' at its widest by 24" at its highest point by 123' - 0"
long is used as a landscape buffer along Hypoluxo Road. See section on L-2.
#65 _ Response as stated on "Response" numbers 9 and 42. The signature trees required would
sit in the viewing triangle and because of limited space on the exit lane it would obstroct sight
lines. Two signature trees were placed on the berm facing Hypoluxo Road.
#70 _ The East Property Line of trees are a mirror image of the west property line of "Parcel 0".
This gives the project a unified appearance to both properties. The larger trees "Gumbo Limbo"
will provide shade into bays where cars will be parked while being worked on. This will lower
the temperature and making a much more comfortable work environment. The neighboring
property can feel free to block their view on their side of the West Property Line.
#71 _ Landscape plan is updated to show latest layout for Handicap Parking.

Re: Grove Plaza Shopping Center - (Parcel C)

Dear Mr. Rumpf:
This letter has been prepared to address Comment #2 in the first set of review comments
related to the Conditional Use application for Parcel C in the Grove Plaza Shopping
Center.
On March 15, 2004, Kimley-Hom and Associates prepared a traffic equivalency analysis
that was submitted to the Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division to address
proposed changes in vested land use for some of the parcels within the Grove Plaza
Shopping Center. This equivalency analysis vested Parcels Band C for a total of 16,000
square feet of retail use. Attached to this letter is a copy of the equivalency analysis and
the resulting approval letter from Palm Beach County, which acknowledges this change
in vested use for the site.
The current proposed site plan on Parcel C consists of 6,832 square feet of retail use.
Therefore, the proposed development is vested under the current traffic concurrency
approval, with 9,168 square feet of retail use remaining for Parcel B and an additional 27
square feet of retail use also available from the amount originally allocated to Parcel D.
Should you have any questions, please call me at (561) 840-0248.
Sincerely,
KlMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, me.

Re: Grove Plaza, Boynton Beach
Traffic Equivalency Analysis
Dear Mr. Atefi:
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has performed a traffic equivalency analysis for
the above-referenced site, which is located in Boynton Beach, Florida in the
southeast quadrant of the intersection of Lawrence Road and Hypoluxo Road.
Previously, the site was approved for the following land uses:
- Parcel A: service station (12 f.p.) + convenience store (2,940 s.f.)
- Parcel B: drive-in bank (3,800 square feet)
- Parcel C: retail (6,560 square feet)
- Parcel D: retail (9,000 square feet)
- Parcel E: fast food restaurant (3,600 square feet)
- Parcel F: fast food restaurant (3,600 square feet)
The currently proposed plan of development is as follows:
- Parcel A: service station (12 f.p.) + convenience store (2,940 s.f.)
- Parcel B/C: retail (16,000 square feet)
- Parcel D: retail (12,000 square feet)
- Parcel E: car wash
- Parcel F: retail (7,180 square feet)
The trip generation potential of the proposed plan of development was compared to
the current approval. This letter summarizes the result of the analysis.
Trip Generation Comparison
Trip generation for the approved and proposed development was calculated using
daily trip generation rates published by Palm Beach County and peak hour rates
published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation, Sixth
Edition.
To account for the expected capture of trips between the parcels on site, an internal
capture calculation was undertaken assuming 32% capture from the convenience
store to service station, as specified by Palm Beach County standards, and 5%
.

between each of the other uses on site, consistent with the original traffic study for
the site.
Table 1 summarizes the approved and proposed development trip generation. Based
on this analysis, the daily, a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour trip generation
potential is lower than the existing approval.
Driveway Volumes
Because the proposed trip generation potential is less than that which was previously
approved, it is not expected that any new turn lanes will be required beyond what
was originally approved for the site. Additionally, because the trip generation
potential represents a decrease from the existing approval, none of the driveways are
expected to require reclassification from the previous approval.
Conclusion
This analysis demonstrates the proposed plan of development does not result in an
increase in the daily, a.m. peak hour or p.m. peak hour trip generation potential over
that which was previously approved. Therefore, the proposed plan of development
fulfills the requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards
Ordinance. In addition, the turn lane requirements and requirements for other
driveway features are expected to remain unchanged from the original approval.
If you have any questions regarding this analysis, please call me at 845-0665.

Re: Grove Plaza, Boynton Beach
Traffic Equivalency Analysis
Dear Mr. Atefi:
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has performed a traffic equivalency analysis for
the above-referenced site, which is located in Boynton Beach, Florida in the
southeast quadrant of the intersection of Lawrence Road and Hypoluxo Road.
Previously, the site was approved for the following land uses:
- Parcel A: service station (12 f.p.) + convenience store (2,940 sJ.)
- Parcel B: drive-in bank (3,800 square feet)
- Parcel C: retail (6,560 square feet)
- Parcel D: retail (9,000 square feet)
- Parcel E: fast food restaurant (3,600 square feet)
- Parcel F: fast food restaurant (3,600 square feet)
The currently proposed plan of development is as follows:
- Parcel A: service station (12 f.p.) + convenience store (2,940 sJ.)
- Parcel B/C: retail (16,000 square feet)
- Parcel D: retail (12,000 square feet)
- Parcel E: car wash
- Parcel F: retail (7,180 square feet)
The trip generation potential of the proposed plan of development was compared to
the current approval. This letter summarizes the result of the analysis.
Trip Generation Comparison
Trip generation for the approved and proposed development was calculated using
daily trip generation rates published by Palm Beach County and peak hour rates
published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers' (ITE) Trip Generation, Sixth
Edition.
To account for the expected capture of trips between the parcels on site, an internal
capture calculation was undertaken assuming 32% capture from the convenience
store. to service station, as specified by Palm Beach County standards, and 5%

between each of the other uses on site, consistent with the original traffic study for
the site.
Table 1 summarizes the approved and proposed development trip generation. Based
on this analysis, the daily, a.m. peak hour and p.m. peak hour trip generation
potential is lower than the existing approval.
Driveway Volumes
Because the proposed trip generation potential is less than that which was previously
approved, it is not expected that any new turn lanes will be required beyond what
was originally approved for the site. Additionally, because the trip generation
potential represents a decrease from the existing approval, none of the driveways are
expected to require reclassification from the previous approval.
Conclusion
This analysis demonstrates the proposed plan of development does not result in an
increase in the daily, a.m. peak hour or p.rn. peak hour trip generation potential over
that which was previously approved. Therefore, the proposed plan of development
fulfills the requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Perfonnance Standards
Ordinance. In addition, the turn lane requirements and requirements for other
driveway features are expected to remain unchanged from the original approval.
If you have any questions regarding this analysis, please call me at 845-0665.
