Proposal:
BACKGROUND
The applicant is proposing a sixty-two (62) room hotel, located on the west side of
Federal Highway, on the south side of SE 21st Avenue. There is currently a vacant
structure on the site, formerly a Denny's restaurant, which will be removed with the
proposed improvements. Approval of the site plan will be contingent upon the
approval of the accompanying request for height exception for architectural building
features (HTEX 06-008).
Site Characteristic: According to the survey, the site is relatively rectangular in shape, with
approximately 250 feet of frontage on Federal Highway and 170 feet in depth along
SE 21st Avenue. As noted above, there are building and parking lot improvements
currently existing on the site from the former Denny's restaurant.

ANALYSIS
A traffic statement for this project was submitted and sent to the Palm Beach
County Traffic Division for their review and approval. As of this date, the City has
not received a Traffic Division confirmation that this project meets the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County, and therefore a condition of
approval will require proof of concurrency approval prior to the issuance of the first
permit (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The City's
concurrency ordinance requires drainage certification at time of site plan approval.
The Engineering Division is recommending that the review of specific drainage
solutions be deferred until time of permit review, when more complete engineering
documents are required (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The drainage
design shall conform to the requirements of the City of Boynton Beach, South
Florida Water Management District, and the Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD).
School concurrency is not required for this type of project.
The existing site has driveways on both Federal Highway and SE 21st Avenue. The
hotel project proposes to only have one ingress/egress point to the parcel, off of SE
21st Avenue. This would occur along the subject parcel's northwest property line,
and comply with the CRA's Urban Design Guidelines, encouraging access points to
be located on side streets when possible, as opposed to directly on the major
thoroughfare.

Memorandum No PZ 06-190

Parking Facility: A hotel use requires one and one-quarter (1.25) parking spaces per hotel unit.
Therefore, the 62 hotel units require 78 parking spaces. The site plan (sheet
A1.01) shows that 78 parking spaces are proposed to meet this requirement. The
hotel structure would be constructed over a portion of the surface parking, with 36
spaces inside the parking structure and 42 surface parking spaces immediately west
of the building. The parking spaces would be dimensioned nine (9) feet in width by
18 feet in length. The handicap spaces would be 12 feet in width with five (5) feet
of striping by 18 feet in length. As proposed, the vehicular back-up distance would
be 25 feet in width to comply with the Engineering Standards. The parking lot
lighting is shown on the photometric plan (sheet PM-1). According to the
photometric plan, the proposed lighting levels near the perimeters would be
minimal. It should have no adverse affect on the neighboring properties, while
meeting the desire of the Police Department to appropriately illuminate the
understory parking for adequate safety precautions.
Landscaping: The proposed pervious area of the parcel equals 5,887 square feet or 14.9% of the
site. The landscape plan (Sheet L-1) indicates that approximately 83% of the trees,
63% of the palms and 72% of the shrubs and groundcover would be native.
The width of the east (front) landscape buffer along Federal Highway would range
between 7.5 and 5 feet in width, following the variation in front fa~ade stepbacks
along the east building elevation, and in compliance with the CRA's Urban Design
Guidelines. This buffer would contain Carpenter Palm trees, Ligustrum trees,
Bougainvillea, Dwarf Yaupon, Firebush, Variegated Schefflera, Croton and Gold
Mound Duranta. The north (side) landscape buffer would be approximately 10 feet
in width and contain Royal Palm, Sabal Palm and Double Alexander Palm trees,
Yellow Elder and Crape Myrtle trees, Firebush and Gold Mound Duranta. The width
of the west (rear) landscape buffer, abutting the existing Golden Sands Inn, would
be 5 feet in width and would contain East Palatka Holly trees, Sabal palms and
Redtip Cocoplum hedges. Finally, the width of the south (side) landscape buffer
would be a 10 foot wide planting area and would contain the same Redtip
Cocoplum hedges and existing Live Oak, Pigeon Plum and Areca Palm trees, as well
as new Sabal and Carpenter Palm trees. As depicted on Sheet L-4, the applicant
proposes to plant palms at approximately one-half (1/2) the building height to
enhance the building facades.
At the intersection corner of Federal Highway and SE 21st Avenue, the applicant
proposes to construct a reflecting pool with cascading water and metal sculptures
within the water, in conjunction with the Art in Public Places requirements. The
reflecting pool would be surrounded by low plantings, including annuals and small
decorative palm trees (Cat Palms) and would have built in bench seating.
Building and Site: The maximum height allowed for new buildings in the C-3 zoning district is 45 feet
/4 stories. According to Sheet A3.01, the proposed building is designed as a four
(4)-story structure, with the first floor consisting of understory parking. The roof
design consists of a series of gable roofs, with the height of the tallest section at 44
feet - 9 inches. Additionally, two (2) decorative dormers have been place above

Memorandum No PZ 06-190

Design:
Signage:
the roofline, which were proposed to comply with the CRA Urban Design
Guidelines, in an effort to provide roofline breaks and add interest to the building
elevations. These dormers, while enhancing the elevations, increase the building
height from 44 feet - 9 inches to 53 feet - 7 inches, approximately nine (9) feet
above the maximum allowed height. The applicant therefore is requesting a height
exception of nine (9) feet above the maximum building height of 45 feet allowed in
the C-3 zoning district (HTEX 06-008). Approval of the site plan is contingent upon
simultaneous approval of the height exception (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval). The required front setback in the C-3 zoning district with the Urban
Commercial Overlay requirements is between 5 and 15 feet; the building would be
setback between 5 and 7.5 feet, in compliance with this requirement. The required
interior side setback (south) is zero to 15 feet. The project again complies this
requirement, with the building setback 10 feet from the south property line. The
required north (corner) side setback is 10 to 15 feet, and the site plan provides
approximately a 10 foot setback. The building would be nearly 62 feet from the
west (rear) property line, where a minimum of 20 feet would be required. The site
plan shows that the dumpster enclosure is proposed at the northwestern portion of
the lot. It is landscaped on three (3) sides as required by code. The Engineering
Division of Public Works has approved its location and angle with respect to the
facilitation of trash removal. The proposed building and site design would generally
meet code requirements when staff comments are incorporated into the permit
drawings.
The proposed building design is compatible with the surrounding built environment
and would generally enhance the overall appearance of the area. The architecture
has been enhanced to provide the appearance of some of the Key West-themed
multifamily projects on South Federal Highway, as opposed to that of a typical
hotel. The building would have formed stucco siding, which provides the
appearance of shiplap siding. The roof has a standing seam metal gable profile,
typical again of buildings in Key West and South Florida in general. The principle
building colors are soft pastels, again reminiscent of Key West. The body of the
wall area, which contains the greatest portion of mass, would be painted two-tone,
alternating with the articulated portions of the building. The first color would be a
soft yellow color (Sherwin Williams - "Friendly Yellow" #6680) and the second a
soft peach color (Sherwin Williams - "Sociable" #6359). Other wall accent colors
proposed at various locations along the base of the building is a brick/terra cotta
color (Sherwin Williams - "Toile Red"#0006). The accent moldings and trim would
be white (Sherwin Williams - "Ibis White" #7000) and the balcony railings and
shutters would be a soft green color (Sherwin Williams - "Restful" #6458). The
standing seam metal roof is proposed as a gray (Sherwin Williams - "Gray Matters"
#7066).
The building elevation sheets (A3.01 & A3.02) indicate the proposed location and
areas for wall signs, one on the east (Federal Highway) elevation and one on the
west (parking lot) elevation. The east elevation signage is proposed as a 14"
lettered etched glass sign in the top center window, stating Country Inns & Suites,
with a small logo. The west elevation signage is proposed as 18" raised aluminum
letters, stating Country Inns & Suites, with a small logo as well. The site plan
Staff Report - Country Inns & Suites (NWSP 06-026)
Memorandum No PZ 06-190
Page 5
(Sheet A1.01) shows that a freestanding monument sign is proposed at the
northeast corner of the property. It would be setback a minimum of 10 feet from
the property lines and would be on the elevated landscape area, behind the
cascading water associated with the reflecting pool with metal sculptures. The
detail of the proposed monument sign shows that the structure would be four (4)
feet in height and approximately 8 feet in width and would contain stainless steel
lettering, matching that proposed on the west elevation of the building, placed on a
black granite slab background.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Technical Application Review Team (TART) has reviewed this request for new site plan approval.
Staff recommends approval, contingent upon successfully satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "C"-
Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section
10-26 (a).
2. At time of permitting, provide a dumpster enclosure detail in compliance
with City code.
PUBLIC WORKS- Traffic
Comments:
3, Provide a notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review)
from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering, prior to issuance of first
permit.
4. On the Site and Civil plans, show and identify all necessary traffic control
devices such as stop bars, stop signs, double yellow lane separators striping,
directional arrows and "Do Not Enter" signage, etc, See City Standard
Drawings "K" Series for striping details.
PUBLIC WORKS - Forestry & Grounds
Comments:
5, Show sight triangles on the Landscape plans (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5 .H,) Reference FDOT Standard Index 546 for the sight triangles
on Federal Highway.
UTILITIES
Comments:
6. No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore this plan is
considered incomplete as submitted. However, the Preliminary Engineering
Plan (Sheet 1 of 1) reflects an existing site located within the Utilities'
service area, and is located where utility support is available. A simple
"connect lateral (or tap) here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual
submittal. Therefore we are providing only a cursory review of the
proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may be
required after a utility plan has been submitted.
7, Palm Beach County Health Department permits may be required for the
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).

or relocated. It may be required to root prune two of the trees.
15. There is a conflict between Trees "C" and "D" (Sheet L-l) and the building stainvelL Please correct
or explain how this conflict wi.ll be handled.
Response: Both existing trees "C" and "D" are vertical branching live oaks: "D" because it
just natural(v occurred this way and "c" had the northern branches destroyed by last year's
hurricanes. You can see at this time where "C"s branches have been broken off by the
hurricane. Some root pruning may need to occur during construction, but we would like to
leave them in place if possible. I think that they have a better chance of survival by being left in
place than by being relocated.

57. Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large area with relatively low
levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can be high risk With tlus in mi.'1d the Police
Department makes the following recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a parking garage and serves
as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity. Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal luminance.
B. Lighting should e).'1end into parking stalls and over velucles rather than just into driving
aisles.
C. The e).'1erior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings. The follmving recommendations
are made:
1. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from exterior common ground
area. A barrier protection \\1.11 prevent open access to the first floor by unwanted persons.
The exterior walls surrounding the first floor parking should be at least three to four feet
high with decorative screening in place be1:\veen the top of the wall and the flooring of the
second parking leveL The screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on
foot yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
b. Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas should be emergency
exits only and fitted with panic bar hardware.
c. The 1:\vo ingress and egress points to the parking garage should have raised crossed walks,
subject to review by the Fire Department and City Engineering.
c) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the illmnination and aid in
reducing shadows within the facility.
d) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and elevators should be painted or
placed on walls to help orient patrons and aHo,,, for quick movement in and out of parking garage.
e) The parking garage elevator should be designed to pemut any individual in the elevator to have a
clear and unobstructed view of the immediate surroundings and be seen from outside tlle elevator. The
doors and 1:\vo sides of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be equipped with
emergency communication and not be equipped ''lith stop button.
f) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal handrails and steps.
g) For potential crinlinal activity detection, install a high resolution color digital videD system
consisting of a minimum of 12 low lax cameras, .Witll monitoring and photo processing picture or video
printout capabilities, shall be installed. Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations like

UTILITIES
Comments:
19, No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore this plan is
considered incomplete as submitted. However, the Preliminary Engineering
Plan (Sheet 1 of 1) reflects an existing site located within the Utilities'
service area, and is located where utility support is available, A simple I
"connect lateral (or tap) here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual
submittal. Therefore we are providing only a cursory review of the
proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may be
required after a utility plan has been submitted.
20. Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date
for the time line should be the date of City Commission approval. Also
provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and V'
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.
21. 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 I
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.
22, Palm Beach County Health Department permits may be required for the ./
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12),

Comments:
56. Construction Site - CPTED Conditions of Approval
Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall prepare a
construction site security and management plan for approval by the City's Police
department CPTED Official.
a) The developer/project manager after site clearing and placement of
construction trailers shall institute security measures to reduce or eliminate
opportunities for theft. The management plan shall include, but not be limited to, /
temporary lighting, security personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor pass,
reduce/minimize entry/exit points, encourage sub contractors to secure machinery,
tools at end of work day and/or any other measure deemed appropriate to provide
a safe and secure working environment.
b) The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the
construction phase of the project. Non-compliance with the approved plan shall
result in a stop-work order for the entire planned unit development.
57. Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas, Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can
be high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a
parking garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity,
Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal
luminance.
B, Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles
rather than just into driving aisles.
C. The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D, Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E, Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance V'
depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings. The
following recommendations are made:
1. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from
exterior common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent
open access to the first floor by unwanted persons. The exterior
walls surrounding the first floor parking should be at least three
to four feet high with decorative screening in place between the
top of the wall and the flooring of the second parking level. The
screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on
foot yet maintain openness and natural surveillance,
b. Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas
should be emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar
hardware,

c. The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should
have raised crossed walks, subject to review by the Fire
Department and City Engineering.
c) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the
illumination and aid in reducing shadows within the facility,
d) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and
elevators should be painted or placed on walls to help orient patrons and
allow for quick movement in and out of parking garage.
e) The parking garage elevator should be designed to permit any individual
in the elevator to have a clear and unobstructed view of the immediate
surroundings and be seen from outside the elevator. The doors and two
sides of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be
equipped with emergency communication and not be equipped with stop
button.
f) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal
handrails and steps.
g) For potential criminal activity detection, install a high resolution color
digital video system consisting of a minimum of 12 low lux cameras, with
monitoring and photo processing picture or video printout capabilities,
shall be installed, Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations
like ingress/egress points, elevators, and stairwells and on each floor of
the facility. The monitoring and control of surveillance system should be
at a central monitoring office or other designated location. It should be
posted at all access points (pedestrian/vehicular) that the facility is under
video surveillance.
h) Install convex mirrors in stairwell and elevator areas.
58. Commercial
a) All lighting shall be metal halide,
b) Landscaping shall not conflict with lighting
c) Entry signage should be lighted.
d) Landscaping should not obstruct view from doors, windows or

UTILITIES
Comments:
19. No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore this plan is
considered incomplete as submitted, However, the Preliminary Engineering
Plan (Sheet 1 of 1) reflects an existing site located within the Utilities'
service area, and is located where utility support is available. A simple
"connect lateral (or tap) here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual
submittal. Therefore we are providing only a cursory review of the
proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may be
required after a utility plan has been submitted.
20. 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.
21. 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,
22. Palm Beach County Health Department permits may be required for the
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
23. 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.sj, residual pressure as stated in the LDR, Chapter 6, Article N,
Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters,
whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)),
24, 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.
25, The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be

28, 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,
29. 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.
30. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be

32, Clarify whether water and sewer service laterals are existing or proposed. If
these are proposed locations Staff strongly encourages the EOR to tie into
the water and sewer mains on SE 21 st Ave.
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.
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. 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

56. Construction Site - CPTED Conditions of Approval
Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall prepare a
construction site security and management plan for approval by the City's Police
department CPTED Official.
a) The developer/project manager after site clearing and placement of
construction trailers shall institute security measures to reduce or eliminate
opportunities for theft, The management plan shall include, but not be limited to,
temporary lighting, security personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor pass,
reduce/minimize entry/exit points, encourage sub contractors to secure machinery,

a safe and secure working environment.
b) The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the
construction phase of the project. Non-compliance with the approved plan shall
result in a stop-work order for the entire planned unit development.
57, Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas, Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can
be high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a
parking garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity,
Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal
luminance.
B. Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles
rather than just into driving aisles.
C. The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance
depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings. The
following recommendations are made:
1. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from
exterior common ground area, A barrier protection will prevent
open access to the first floor by unwanted persons. The exterior

56. Construction Site - CPTED Conditions of Approval
Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall prepare a
construction site security and management plan for approval by the City's Police
department CPTED Official.
a) The developer/project manager after site clearing and placement of
construction trailers shall institute security measures to reduce or eliminate
opportunities for theft, The management plan shall include, but not be limited to,
temporary lighting, security personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor pass,
reduce/minimize entry/exit points, encourage sub contractors to secure machinery,
tools at end of work day and/or any other measure deemed appropriate to provide
a safe and secure working environment.
b) The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the
construction phase of the project. Non-compliance with the approved plan shall
result in a stop-work order for the entire planned unit development.
57. Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas, Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can
be high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a
parking garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity,
Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal
luminance,
B. Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles
rather than just into driving aisles.
C. The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance
depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings, The
following recommendations are made:
1. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from
exterior common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent
open access to the first floor by unwanted persons, The exterior
walls surrounding the first floor parking should be at least three
to four feet high with decorative screening in place between the
top of the wall and the flooring of the second parking level. The
screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on
foot yet maintain openness and natural surveillance,
b. Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas
should be emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar
hardware,

c, The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should
have raised crossed walks, subject to review by the Fire
Department and City Engineering,
c) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the
illumination and aid in reducing shadows within the facility,
d) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and
elevators should be painted or placed on walls to help orient patrons and
allow for quick movement in and out of parking garage.
e) The parking garage elevator should be designed to permit any individual
in the elevator to have a clear and unobstructed view of the immediate
surroundings and be seen from outside the elevator. The doors and two
sides of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be
equipped with emergency communication and not be equipped with stop
button.
f) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal
handrails and steps.
g) For potential criminal activity detection, install a high resolution color
digital video system consisting of a minimum of 12 low lux cameras, with
monitoring and photo processing picture or video printout capabilities,
shall be installed. Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations
like ingress/egress points, elevators, and stairwells and on each floor of
the facility. The monitoring and control of surveillance system should be
at a central monitoring office or other designated location. It should be
posted at all access points (pedestrian/vehicular) that the facility is under
video surveillance,
h) Install convex mirrors in stairwell and elevator areas.

UTILITIES
Comments:
19. No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore this plan is
considered incomplete as submitted, However, the Preliminary Engineering
Plan (Sheet 1 of 1) reflects an existing site located within the Utilities'
service area, and is located where utility support is available. A simple
"connect lateral (or tap) here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual
submittal. Therefore we are providing only a cursory review of the
proposed site plans as submitted at this time, Additional comments may be
required after a utility plan has been submitted.
20, Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date
for the time line 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,
21. 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.
22, Palm Beach County Health Department permits may be required for the
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).

Comments:
56. Construction Site - CPTED Conditions of Approval
Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall prepare a
construction site security and management plan for approval by the City's Police
department CPTED Official.
a) The developer/project manager after site clearing and placement of
construction trailers shall institute security measures to reduce or eliminate
opportunities for theft. The management plan shall include, but not be limited to,
temporary lighting, security personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor pass,
reduce/minimize entry/exit points, encourage sub contractors to secure machinery,
tools at end of work day and/or any other measure deemed appropriate to provide
a safe and secure working environment.
b) The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the
construction phase of the project. Non-compliance with the approved plan shall
result in a stop-work order for the entire planned unit development.
57. Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can
be high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a
parking garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity.
Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal
luminance.
B. Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles
rather than just into driving aisles.
C. The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance
depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings. The
following recommendations are made:
1. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from
exterior common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent
open access to the first floor by unwanted persons. The exterior
walls surrounding the first floor parking should be at least three
to four feet high with decorative screening in place between the
top of the wall and the flooring of the second parking level. The
screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on
foot yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
b. Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas
should be emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar
hardware.

c. The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should
have raised crossed walks, subject to review by the Fire
Department and City Engineering.
c) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the
illumination and aid in reducing shadows within the facility.
d) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and
elevators should be painted or placed on walls to help orient patrons and
allow for quick movement in and out of parking garage.
e) The parking garage elevator should be designed to permit any individual
in the elevator to have a clear and unobstructed view of the immediate
surroundings and be seen from outside the elevator. The doors and two
sides of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be
equipped with emergency communication and not be equipped with stop
button.
f) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal
handrails and steps.
g) For potential criminal activity detection, install a high resolution color
digital video system consisting of a minimum of 12 low lux cameras, with
monitoring and photo processing picture or video printout capabilities,
shall be installed. Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations
like ingress/egress points, elevators, and stairwells and on each floor of
the facility. The monitoring and control of surveillance system should be
at a central monitoring office or other designated location. It should be
posted at all access points (pedestrian/vehicular) that the facility is under
video surveillance.
h) Install convex mirrors in stairwell and elevator areas.
58. Commercial
a) All lighting shall be metal halide.
b) Landscaping shall not conflict with lighting
c) Entry signage should be lighted.
d) Landscaping should not obstruct view from doors, windows or
walkways.

Comments:
87. The landscape plan indicates the planting of Pidgeon Plum trees in a three
(3) foot wide space. Since the Pidgeon Plum grows to a height of 50 feet
and has a spread of 35 feet at maturity, it is doubtful that this space will
offer enough room for sufficient root growth. The tree will easily topple
over in a wind storm. It is recommended that palms be substituted.

Comments:
56. Construction Site - CPTED Conditions of Approval
Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall prepare a
construction site security and management plan for approval by the City's Police
department CPTED Official.
a) The developer/project manager after site clearing and placement of
construction trailers shall institute security measures to reduce or eliminate
opportunities for theft. The management plan shall include, but not be limited to,
temporary lighting, security personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor pass,
reduce/minimize entry/exit points, encourage sub contractors to secure machinery,
tools at end of work day and/or any other measure deemed appropriate to provide
a safe and secure working environment.
b) The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the
construction phase of the project. Non-compliance with the approved plan shall
result in a stop-work order for the entire planned unit development.
57. Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can
be high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a
parking garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity.
Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal
luminance.
B. Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles
rather than just into driving aisles.
C. The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance
depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings. The
following recommendations are made:
I. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from
exterior common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent
open access to the first floor by unwanted persons. The exterior
walls surrounding the first floor parking should be at least three
to four feet high with decorative screening in place between the
top of the wall and the flooring of the second parking level. The
screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on
foot yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
b. Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas
should be emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar
hardware.

87. The landscape plan indicates the planting of Pidgeon Plum trees in a three
(3) foot wide space. Since the Pidgeon Plum grows to a height of 50 feet
and has a spread of 35 feet at maturity, it is doubtful that this space will
offer enough room for sufficient root growth. The tree will easily topple
over in a wind storm. It is recommended that palms be substituted.

or explain how this conflict win be handled.
Response: Both existing trees "C" and <OD" are vertical branching live oaks: <OD" because it
just naturally occurred this way and "c" had the northern branches destroyed by last year's
hurricanes. You can see at this time where "C"s branches have been broken off by the
hurricane. Some root pruning may need to occur during construction, but we would like to
leave them in place if possible. I think that they have a better chance of survival by being left in
place than by being relocated.
16. Pigeon Plums and Royal Palms proposed along the west property line should be placed a minimum
of five (5) feet off the property line to provide space for maintenance at maturity.

UTILITIES
Comments:
19. No utility plan \vas included \vith tins submittal, therefore this plan is considered incomplete as
submitted. However, the Preliminary Engineering Plan (Sheet 1 of I) reflects an existing site located
within the Utilities' service area, and is located where utility SUPPOlt is available. A simple "connect
lateral (or tap) here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual submittal. Therefore we are providing
only a cursory review of the proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may
be required after a utility plan has been submitted.
Response: Utility Plan will be submitted at the time of permit application, a meeting with the
utility department has been set to coordinate.

57. Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large area \\ith relatively low
levels of acti\-ity; the vulnerability to potential activity can be high risk. With this in mi.'1d the Police
Department makes the following recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a parking garage and serves
as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity. Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal luminance.
B. Lighting should e:>..'tend into parking stalls and over vehicles rather than just into driving
aisles.
C. The e:>..'terior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings. The follO\ving recommendations
are made:
1. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from exterior common ground
area. A barrier protection ",ill prevent open access to the first floor by unwanted persons.
The exterior walls surrounding the first floor parking should be at least three to four feet
high with decorative screening in place between the top of the wall and the flooring of the
second parking level. The screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on
foot yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
b. Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas should be emergency
exits only and fitted with panic bar hardware.
c. The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should have raised crossed \valks,
subject to review by the Fire Department and City Engineering.
c) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the illumination and aid in
reducing shadows within the facility.
d) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and elevators should be painted or
placed on walls to help orient patrons and allow for quick movement in and out of parking garage.
e) The parking garage elevator should be designed to pennit any individual in the elevator to have a
clear and unobstructed view of the immediate surroundings and be seen from outside the elevator. The
doors and two sides of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be equipped with
emergency communication and not be equipped with stop button.
X t) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal handrails and steps.
g) For potential criminal acti\-ity detection, install a high resolution color digital video system
consisting of a minimum of 12 low lux cameras, with monitoring and photo processing picture or video
printout capabilities, shall be installed. Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations like
ingress/egress points, elevators, and stairwells and on each floor of the facility. The monitoring and control
of surveillance system should be at a central monitoring office or other designated location. It should be
posted at all access points (pedestrian/vehicular) that the facility is under video surveillance.
h) Install convex mirrors in stairwell and elevator areas.
Response: a) Please see PM-l for site and parki.ng garage lighting

UTILITIES
Comments:
19. No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore this plan is
considered incomplete as submitted. However, the Preliminary Engineering
Plan (Sheet 1 of 1) reflects an existing site located within the Utilities'
service area, and is located where utility support is available. A simple
"connect lateral (or tap) here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual
submittal. Therefore we are providing only a cursory review of the
proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may be
required after a utility plan has been submitted.
20. Please provide a time line that clearly illustrates when water and sewer
services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date
for the time line 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.
21. 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.
22. Palm Beach County Health Department permits may be required for the
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
23. 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)).
24. 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.
25. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be

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.
29. 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.
30. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be
DIP.

32. Clarify whether water and sewer service laterals are existing or proposed. If
these are proposed locations Staff strongly encourages the EOR to tie into
the water and sewer mains on SE 21 st Ave.
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.
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. 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

temporary lighting, security personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor pass,
reduce/minimize entry/exit points, encourage sub contractors to secure machinery,
tools at end of work day and/or any other measure deemed appropriate to provide
a safe and secure working environment.
b) The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the
construction phase ofthe project. Non-compliance with the approved plan shall

57. Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can
be high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following
recommendations:
a) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a
parking garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity.
Lighting recommendations are as follows:
A. Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal
luminance.
B. Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles
rather than just into driving aisles.
C. The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
D. Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
E. Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance
depth perception.
b) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings. The
following recommendations are made:
1. Access control:
a. First level of parking garage should have restricted access from
exterior common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent
open access to the first floor by unwanted persons. The exterior
walls surrounding the first floor parking should be at least three
to four feet high with decorative screening in place between the
top of the wall and the flooring of the second parking level. The
screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on
foot yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
b. Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas
should be emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar
hardware.

c. The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should
have raised crossed walks, subject to review by the Fire
Department and City Engineering.
c) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly enhance the
illumination and aid in reducing shadows within the facility.
d) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and
elevators should be painted or placed on walls to help orient patrons and
allow for quick movement in and out of parking garage.
e) The parking garage elevator should be designed to permit any individual
in the elevator to have a clear and unobstructed view of the immediate
surroundings and be seen from outside the elevator. The doors and two
sides of the elevator shall have glass walls. The elevator should be
equipped with emergency communication and not be equipped with stop
button.
t) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal
handrails and steps.
g) For potential criminal activity detection, install a high resolution color
digital video system consisting of a minimum of 12 low lux cameras, with
monitoring and photo processing picture or video printout capabilities,
shall be installed. Surveillance should be strategically placed at locations
like ingress/egress points, elevators, and stairwells and on each floor of
the facility. The monitoring and control of surveillance system should be
at a central monitoring office or other designated location. It should be
posted at all access points (pedestrian/vehicular) that the facility is under
video surveillance.
h) Install convex mirrors in stairwell and elevator areas.
58. Commercial
a) All lighting shall be metal halide.
b) Landscaping shall not conflict with lighting
c) Entry signage should be lighted.
d) Landscaping should not obstruct view from doors, windows or
walkways.
e) Building lighting (non- glare) should be around perimeter of all sides
and on pedestrian sidewalk.

UTILITIES
Comments:
8. No utility plan was included \vith this submittal, therefore tills plan is considered incomplete as submitted.
However, the Preliminary Engineering Plan (Sheet I of 1) reflects an existing site located 'within the
Utilities' service area, and is located where utility support is available. A simple "coilllect lateral (or tap)
here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual submittal. Therefore we are providing only a cursory review
of the proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional conmlents may be required after a utility
plan has been submitted.
Response: Utility Plan will be submitted at the time of permit application, a meeting with the utility
department has been set to coordinate.
9. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shovm on tile site plan and landscape plans (as \vell as the
Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may deternline which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere
with utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed \vithin 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 tIlat interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or
public rights-of-way.

Site Plan
ENCLOSURES:
I have viewed the above building plans and have the following comments:
Construction Site - CPTED Conditions of Approval
1. Prior to issuance of the first building permit, the applicant shall prepare a construction
site security and management plan for approval by the City's Police department
CPTED Official.
a) The developer/project manager after site clearing and placement of
construction trailers shall institute security measures to reduce or eliminate
opportunities for theft. The management plan shall include, but not be limited
to, temporary lighting, security personnel, vehicle barriers, construction/visitor
pass, reduce/minimize entry/exit points, encourage sub contractors to secure
machinery, tools at end of work day and/or any other measure deemed
appropriate to provide a safe and secure working environment.
b) The security management plan shall be maintained throughout the construction
phase of the project. Non-compliance with the approved plan shall result in a
stop-work order for the entire planned unit development.
Parking Garage
Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large
area with relatively low levels of activity; the vulnerability to potential activity can be
high risk. With this in mind the Police Department makes the following comments:
1) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a parking
garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity. Lighting
recommendations are as follows:
a) Design should incorporate both vertical and horizontal luminance.
b) Lighting should extend into parking stalls and over vehicles rather than just
into driving aisles.
c) The exterior of garage should be well lighted on all sides.
d) Metal Halide lighting shall be used.
e) Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance depth
perception.
2) Natural Surveillance- The ability to observe one's surroundings recommendations
are as follows:
3) Access control:
f) First level of parking garage should have restricted access from exterior
common ground area. A barrier protection will prevent open access to the
first floor by
'~iii-'
unwanted persons. The exterior walls surrounding the first floor parking
should be at least three to four feet high with decorative screening in place
between the top of the wall and the flooring of the second parking level.
The screening would discourage anyone from entering the facility on foot
yet maintain openness and natural surveillance.
g) Any ground level pedestrian exits that open into non-secure areas should be
emergency exits only and fitted with panic bar hardware.
h) The two ingress and egress points to the parking garage should have raised
crossed walks, subject to review by the Fire Department and City
Engineering.
4) Ceilings should be painted or stained white to significantly
enhance the illumination and aid in reducing shadows within the facility.
5) Careful placement of signs and graphics indicating exits, stairs, and elevators
should be painted or placed on walls to help orient patrons and allow for quick
movement in and out of parking garage.
6) The parking garage elevator should be designed to permit any individual in the
elevator to have a clear and unobstructed view of the immediate surroundings and
be seen from outside the elevator. The doors and two sides of the elevator shall
have glass walls. The elevator should be equipped with emergency communication
and not be equipped with stop button.
7) The stairwell towers should be of an open design with open metal handrails and
steps.
8) For potential criminal activity detection, install a high resolution color digital video
system consisting of a minimum of 12 low lux cameras, with monitoring and photo

SUBJECT: Country Inns & Suites
REFERENCES: Impacts of proposed site plan upon City
Services
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the impacts of proposed site plan for Country Inns & Suites. A statistical analysis was
completed to show the percentage of increase of police calls for service for the selected development and area.
This study showed that 11.5 % of all police calls for service were within this zone. This is an increase of 2.3%
over a one year period. Currently, there are numerous site plans for future residential/office and retail projects
along the 1900 - 3600 block ofS. Federal Highway.
The projected growth along S. Federal Highway will have a direct impact on future public safety issues, to
include calls for service. Additional officers and equipment will be needed to balance the increase in
population and non residential traffic into our city.

1. The landscape plan indicates the planting of Pidgeon Plum trees in a 3' wide space. Since the
Pidgeon Plum grows to a height of 50' and has a spread of 35' at maturity, it is doubful that this space
will offer enough room for sufficient root growth. The tree will easily topple over in a wind storm. It is
recommended that palms be substituted.
2. The plant list should include a notation regarding what plant species are native and the overall
percentage of native species.
3. Irrigation should have 110% coverage, use a non-potable water source, provide separate bubblers
to each tree and have separate zones for bed and grass areas.

20. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate
sheets.
21. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional comments. Acceptance of
these plans during the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) process does not ensure that additional
comments may not be generated by the Commission and at permit review.
22. Show the building footprint on all plan sheets.
23. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets.
24. Show proposed site lighting on the Civil and Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.)

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
31. No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore this plan is considered incomplete as
submitted. However, the Preliminary Engineering Plan (Sheet 1 of 1) reflects an existing site located
within the Utilities' service area, and is located where utility support is available. A simple "connect
lateral (or tap) here" is not acceptable, even for a conceptual submittal. Therefore we are providing only
a cursory review of the proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may be
required after a utility plan has been submitted.
32. 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 fi rst 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.

33. 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.
34. Palm Beach County Health Department permits may be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
35. 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)).
36. 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. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by
showing all hydrants.
37. 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.
38. 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.
39. 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).
40. 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.
41. 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.
42. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP.
