PZ 05 - 033 STAFF REPORT FROM: Chair and Members Planning and Development Board Michael Rumpfi\~ Planning and Zoning Director Ed Breese ~ Principal Planner TO: THRU: DATE: February 10, 2005 PROJECT NAME/NO: Neptune Commerce Center / NWSP 05 - 006 REQUEST: New Site Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: Pelican Estates, Inc. Applicant: William Wietsma Company, Inc. Agent: William Wietsma Location: South side of Neptune Drive, approximately 1,300 feet east of South Congress Avenue (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) Existing Land Use/Zoning: Industrial (I) / Light Industrial (M-1) Proposed Land Use/Zoning: No change proposed Proposed Use: Request new site plan approval for a 16,482 square foot industrial building on a 0.969-acre parcel. Acreage: 0.969-acres Adjacent Uses: North: Right-of-way for Neptune Drive, then farther north developed industrial property (Advanced Fabricators) zoned Light Industrial (M-1); South: Developed industrial property (Bethesda Service Center) zoned Light Industrial (M- 1); East: Developed industrial property (office/warehouses complex) zoned Light Industrial (M-1); and Staff Report - Neptune Commerce Center (NWSP 05-006) Memorandum No PZ 05-033 Page 2 West: Developed industrial property (Finnish Granite) zoned Light Industrial (M-l). Project size: The project consists of a one-story, 16,482 square foot industrial building. Site Characteristic: The subject parcel is a rectangular piece of land approximately 281 feet long and approximately 150 feet wide. The parcel is situated approximately 1,300 feet east of Congress Avenue. The survey shows that the highest elevation is 14.5 feet above sea level, located near the center of the property. BACKGROUND Proposal: Pelican Estates, Inc. proposes to construct a 16,482 square foot industrial building on a 0.969-acre parcel. ANALYSIS Concurrency: Traffic: A traffic concurrency approval letter has been received from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering with the build-out year reflected as 2005. Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The Engineering Division has found the conceptual information for the subject property to be adequate and is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time of permit review (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). School: This project is exempt from the school concurrency requirements of Palm Beach County. Driveways: The subject property fronts on Neptune Drive, approximately 1,300 feet east of Congress Avenue. Proposed on-site circulation consists of one driveway near the northwest corner of the property, which provides access to the front of all of the warehouse bays. Parking Facility: Parking required for this type of facility is based on the ratio for manufacturing uses of one (1) parking space per 500 square feet, for a total of 33 parking spaces. The plan as designed accommodates 33 parking spaces, including 3 handicap spaces. The typical parking spaces are dimensioned 9.5 feet x 18.5 feet, with the handicap spaces shown as 12 feet x 18.5 feet with the associated 5 foot striped aisle. Additionally there are three (3) dedicated loading zones. Landscaping: The proposed pervious or "green" area of the lot would be 10,007 square feet or 23.7% of the total site. The landscape plan tabular data (Sheet L-l) indicates that 26 trees, 29 palms and 966 shrubs and groundcover are being provided. Typical trees being utilized in the planting scheme include Live Oak, Pidgeon Plum and Clusia Rosea along with Sabal and Solitaire palms. Shrub materials selected for the site include Cocoplum, Ixora and Seagrape. Two signature trees are proposed to be planted at the entrance. Approximately 67% of the proposed trees are native and 54% of the shrubs and groundcover depicted are native. The proposed buffers Staff Report - Neptune Commerce Center (NWSP 05-006) Memorandum No PZ 05-033 Page 3 meet code regulations and are consistent with surrounding sites (15 feet on the front and east side, 20 feet rear and 5 feet on the west side). Building and Site: Building and site regulations will be fully met when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. The proposed one-story industrial building would have a typical roof height of 27 feet - 4 inches, measured to the top of the crown molding on the average parapet wall. The maximum allowed height in the M-1 zoning district is 45 feet. Sheet A-03 provides an illustration of the building facades, with scored panels, decorative trims and awnings, and decorative louvered vents. The building is proposed to be separated into five (5) individual bays, each with a small office and mezzanine, and a total of approximately 3,200 square feet. Design: The color rendering indicates that the building would be designed as a typical industrial building, including the fal;ade improvements discussed above. The body of the building would be painted a soft yellow color (Martin Senour Paints - "Canary" 144-6 WW). The storefront facades are proposed to be painted a softer yellow (Martin Senour Paints - "Southern Belle" 144-7 WW). The cornice molding and decorative banding of the building are proposed to be painted a standard white. The shutters, storefront window frames, louvered vents and downspouts are proposed to be painted a hunter green (Martin Senour Paints - "Shutter Green" 325-1 OL). The building style, materials and colors would not conflict with surrounding development, which is comprised of a number of individual styles. Signage: The site signage, according to Sheet A-03, will be a monument sign six (6) feet tall, by ten (10) feet in width, designed to be compatible with the character of the building. The sign as proposed complies with code regulations. The monument sign is proposed to have individual black aluminum letters, with the center name in seven (7) inch and the tenant names in three (3) inch letters. The tenant lettering on the building is designed to be the same individual black letters, six (6) inches high, and non-illuminated. RECOMMENDATION: The Technical Review Committee (TRC) has reviewed this request for new site plan approval. Staff recommends approval, contingent upon all comments indicated in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. The Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommends that the deficiencies identified in this exhibit be corrected on the set of plans submitted for building permit. Also, any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

A letter of approval from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering Division regarding the submittal of a traffic statement will be required prior to issuing a permit for this project. 64. Surveys are required to be signed and sealed. 1ST REVIEW COMMENTS 12/09/04 8 DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE REJECT 65. Staff recommends the removal of the proposed overhead door on the north elevation of the building, as an overhead door is proposed for the same warehouse bay on the west side. This would enhance the appearance of the building from the street, provide additional landscape opportunities, and ensure that a truck loading or unloading would not obstruct the sidewalk along Neptune. 66. Rooftops will be treated as part of the building elevation. All rooftop equipment must be completely screened from view at a minimum distance of 600 feet. 67. Additional building detail is needed on the north and east building elevations, especially on the east elevation, to break up the massive, relatively blank wall. Staff suggests the use of medallions, tile mosaics or other similar treatments. 68. The east side of the building should have downspouts as well, to minimize staining/discoloration of the wall. 69. The lack of a true landscape plan, with plant material types and sizes makes the review extremely difficult. Provide complete landscape plans at the Technical Review Committee meeting. 70. Indicate the planting of St. Augustine sod in the swale area with appropriate irrigation. 71. Foundation plantings are needed along the north building elevation and between entrances to individual bays on the west elevation, including a hedge and slender palms, such as Montgomery Palms, in the narrow planting area along the west building face. 72. No photometric plan was submitted, please include at time ofTRC meeting.

Signed and sealed working drawings of the proposed construction will be subm.itted at the time of permit review. 48. We- respectfully challenge the contention that vertical accessibility is required for the storage mezzanines. According to the 2001 Florida Building Code Section 11-4.1.3 (5), exception 1, "elevators are not required in facilities that are less than 3 stories or that have less than 3,000 square feet per story unless the building is a shopping center, a shopping mall, Of the professional officeofa health care provider...". This project is two stories, including the storage mezzanine, and therefore no elevators are required under the- code. Furthermore, Section 11-4.1.3 does not require vertical accessibility of any kind for "unoccupiable spaces, such as rooms, enclosed spaces, and storage spaces that are not designed for human occupancy, for public accommodations, or for work areas". Since the mezzanines are intended only for storage-use, they fall under this definition and are exempt from vertical accessibility requirements according to section 11-4.1.3. 49. The-property line- has been labeled on an sides oftbe-property on the Site Plan, sheet A-OL 50. William Wietsma Company and its consultants are aware-of and acknowledge the policy concerning conservation of potable water. 51. A copy of any required SFWMD water-use permits will be- submitted at the time of permit application. 52. We are- aware- of and agree- to follow these requirements. 53. Pursuant to approval by the City Commission and all other outside agencies, the plans will be-submitted to the Building Division for plan review. These plans will incorporate all conditions of approval listed in the Development Order and approved by the City Commission. 25 Seabreeze Avenue Office: (561) 274 - 4863 WILLIAM WIETSMA COMPANY ARCHITECTURAL 8: CONSTRUCTION SERVICES CG C051369 54. The full address of the project and the name of the project as it appears on the Development Order will be noted on the permit application and construction documents at the time of application submittal. 55. A breakdown of the areas requested has been given for each unit on the Floor Plan, sheet A-02. Note that there are no balconies in this project; perhaps the term was used to refer to the mezzanines? As for unit types, there are only five units total, and each is essentially the same type, though area varies slightly. All units have 2 offices, one toilet room and a large warehouse space on the ground level. Each unit has a storage mezzanine above the offICeS and toilet. Only the offices and toilet room are air conditioned. 56. There are no existing trees on the site: A Landscape Plan bas been prepared for the TRC meeting. 57. A colored elevation drawing will be presented- at the Technjcal Review Committee meeting as required. 58. Paint swatches for the proposed building colors, including the manufacturer's name, color name and number, will be provided to the TRC. 59. Note 3 was added to the Site Plan Notes on sheet A-Ot tQ address this comment. 60. Note 8 was added to the Site Plan Notes on sheet A-Ol to address this comment. 61.

The parapets directly block view of the equipment from the west and north. From the east and south, the equipment will not be visible at any distance less than 600 feet. 67. Additional detatls have been added to alf the elevations. We added 2 foot diameter circular simulated vents at approximately 20 foot intervals on all four sides of the building. On the east elevation, downspouts have been added as requested, both as a design element and to prevent staining of the building. 68. Downspouts have- been added to the east side of the building. 69. Landscape plans are included in the drawings presented at the Technical Review Committee meeting. 70. The note regarding St. Augustine grass in the swales will be- added to the Landscape Plan during the next stage in design development, before the drawings are submitted for plan review. 71.

Following are our comments with the appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations (LDR) referenced. PUBLIC WORKS - GENERAL 1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Article II, Section 10-26 (a). 2. Provide a dumpster enclosure per the LDR, Chapter 2, Section 11.J.2.b. 3. Indicate by note that the site dumpster enclosure shall be constructed in accordance with City Standard Drawing G-4. 4. A minimum dumpster pad is required measuring 10 ft. x 10 ft. (inside dimension including gates). (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.J. and Article III, section 9.A.9.a.) 5. The required gates for the dumpster shall contain long steel rods to drop into the pavement in order to secure the gates in the open and closed positions. Drilled holes (for concrete) or metal sleeves (for asphalt) shall be provided for the locking rods. 6. Walls for the enclosure shall be provided on three sides and are to be a minimum of 6 ft. high and shall be CBS construction with a finish matching that of the adjacent buildings(s). Accent shrubs shall be provided along the screen wall(s) (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.J., and Article III, Section 9.A.9.a, and Chapter 9, Section 10.C.3.) 7. Provide a minimum turning radius of 60 ft. to approach the dumpster. Provide a minimum backing clearance of 60 ft. (measured from the front edge of the dumpster pad.) (LDR, Chapter 2, Section 11.J.2.b.) PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC 8. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering. Oepartment of Public Works, Engineering Oivision Memo No. 04-192 Re: Neptune Commerce Center New Site Plan - 151 Review November 29, 2004 Page 2 9. The loading zone shall be no less than 12-ft. x 35-ft. (LOR, Chapter 2, Section 11.J.) Correct plans to reflect the correct size. ENGINEERING 10. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate sheets. 11. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional comments. Acceptance of these plans during the TRC process does not ensure that additional comments may not be generated by the Commission and at permit review. 12. The scale should match between all sheets depicting the site (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7. B.1, 7. C.1 , and 7.F.1.) Please use an engineering scale for all site related plans (Site Plan, Civil Plan, etc.) 13. The graphic scale provided on the Civil Plan does not match the written scale given. 14. Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) The lighting design shall provide a minimum average light level of one foot-candle. On the Lighting Plan, specify that the light poles shall withstand a 140 MPH wind load (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.a and Florida Building Code). Provide a note that the fixtures shall be operated by photo- electrical control and are to remain on until 2:00 a.m. (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.a.) Include pole wind loading, and pole details in conformance with the LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 11, Chapter 23, Article I, Section 5.B.7 and Chapter 23, Article II, Section A on the Lighting Plan. Lighting shall be directed away from any residential uses (LOR, Chapter 2, Section 4.N.7). If possible please provide photometries as part of your TRC plan submittals - it is much easier to identify and correct any deficiencies now than while you are waiting on a permit! 15. It may be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b). 16. Show sight triangles, using a 25-ft. triangle, on the Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) 17. Sidewalks adjacent to parking lots shall be continuous through all driveways and shall be 6 in. thick within driveways (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section P.) 18. No landscape plan was submitted with this plan. However, using the conceptual planting plan shown on the Site plan it is recommended that the canopy trees be placed a minimum of 10-ft. off the property lines to allow for maintenance as the tree(s) matures. 19. Trees are proposed in close proximity to the dumpster. They will need to be relocated to provide vertical clearance for solid waste pickup. 20. Provide an engineer's certification on the Orainage Plan as specified in LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.F.2. 21. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5 will be required at the time of permitting. Department of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 04-192 Re: Neptune Commerce Center New Site Plan - 1 sl Review November 29, 2004 Page 3 22. Paving, Drainage and Site details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. 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. UTILITIES 23. 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 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. 24. 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 LOR, 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. 25. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). 26. 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 LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). 27. The LOR, 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. This plan does not meet this condition. Relocate fire hydrant to the second landscape island. 28. 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. 29. 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. 30. 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). Department of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 04-192 Re: Neptune Commerce Center New Site Plan - 1st Review November 29, 2004 Page 4 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. The LOR, 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. 33. Tap the 4-in. fire line off the 6-in. hydrant run rather than tapping off the 8-in. main in Neptune Drive. 34. The proposed 2-in. water service may be tapped off of the 6-in. hydrant run. This may be done by submitting a written request for an administrative waiver to the Senior Engineer for processing. 35. 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.

The 0.969-acre tract is vacant. The Neptune Commerce Center building, with five connected units, will have a first floor area of 16,707 square feet and 1,535 square feet on the mezzanine. The uses and areas and within the building are Office 1,535 square feet, Light Industrial 15,172 square feet and Warehouse 1,535 square feet, which is the mezzanine area. The mezzanine area is located directly above the office space. SCOPE OF STUDY: In conjunction with a site plan submission, the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations requires a Traffic Statement. This traffic study has been prepared in accordance with the standards and criteria as set forth in the Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code, Article 15, Traffic Performance Standards.. The scope of the study is to: i) Determine the volume of traffic volume to be added to the thoroughfare system by the proposed Neptune Commerce Center for both daily and peak hour traffic. ii) Determine if the peak hour traffic is above the 1 % LOS D threshold for the roadway impacted, and if so, analyze the intersections impacted by the project. PROJECT TRAFFIC: The trips generated for the proposed uses are as follows: Trip generation rate for General Office is 22.6 daily trips per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, less 5% Pass-by. Trips generated for 1,535 square feet of General Office = 1,535/1,000 x 22.6 = 35 tpd. Net trips generated taking into account 5% Pass-By = 35(1.00 - 0.05) = 33 tpd P.M. Peak Hour Trip Generation Rate for Office is 3.40 trips per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. P.M.
