Ellipse (a.k.a. Sunshine Square)
Amending the Future Land Use classification
Dear Mr. Wiener:
Please be informed of the city's plans regarding the above-referenced matter. Separate from the
reverting ofthe current zoning designation - Mixed use Low-3 - to the C-3, Community Commercial
District, the city will include the corresponding future land use amendment within the next cycle of
amendments to be packaged with the EAR-based Comprehensive Plan amendments. These proposed
amendments are scheduled to be transmitted within the first quarter of 2008.
With respect to timing, please also understand that this processing period is uncertain given the
complex nature and significant scope ofthe greater EAR-based amendments; total review time may
likely exceed the typical large-scale review cycle.
I trust this adequately responds to your request; however, please contact staff if you have further
questions.

Re: Project Description
The Ellipse
#05081
Dear Ms Zeitler,
The proposed project, 'The Ellipse' was originally conceived as an attempt to address several
design objectives. Firstly, because the site lies within one of the prime intersections of the
City of Boynton Beach, it's present use and architectural presence demanded a redesign.
Secondly, the economic conditions at the time indicated that the 'highest and best use' was
not being achieved in its present form. Thirdly, the city's desire in the form of a proposed
land use change, had foreseen the redevelopment of this portion of the Federal Highway
corridor.
Our conceptual approach to the redesign, was to not only, carry out the City's vision by
creating 'pedestrian oriented 'streetscapes along Federal Highway and Woolbright Road, but
to also carry through the streetscape concept to the interior of the site. This is apparent in the
site plan by the dominance of the east-west and north-south entry roads, which connect the
pedestrian and vehicular circulation paths to the public ways and beyond to adjacent
properties. In addition, the public oriented ground level retail spaces and pedestrian paths,
also carry through from the public right-of-ways to the interior commercial 'streets'. The
cross street concept is further justified by the need to phase the project so that existing retail
tenants who would want to relocate into the new buildings, would be able remain on site and
open during construction.
The vertical massing of the buildings and their architectural style, that of 'urban flavor'
further advances the feel of the 'extended downtown' along Federal Highway. The use of
simple vertical and horizontal forms, precast elements and contemporary window details, also
enhance the urbanistic feel. However, at the pedestrian plane the ample sidewalks, spaces for
outdoor dining and the central open space 'commons' does not ignore the need to make the
human experience worthwhile.
With Kindest Regards,
MARC WIENER, A.LA.

Dear Mr. Large,
In response to your comments of October 26, please accept the following responses:
1) We agree with your analysis, and we have changed the designation of the Publix
building to a Type IB fully sprinklered structure. See attached.
2) The notes on the site plan referring to Building Type, height and stories refer to each
'quadrant' or phase. That is, the entire structure in each phase constitutes one
building and the notes were meant to describe those structures as a whole, ie. Type
IB, fully sprinklered, 7-stories and 75' maximum height to the highest finished floor
level. The parking structures lie within these buildings and their construction type
has been revised to indicate Type IB, fully sprinklered as well. I know by looking at
the site plan it appears as there are a number of buildings in each phase and I
apologize for the apparent confusion. That is why I included the 'massing plan',
sheet A 1.02, so that the building configurations would be more understandable. It
was not my intention to be misleading.
3) All aspects of the structures will comply with the appropriate sections of both the
ADA for the Public portions of the buildings, and the Fair Housing Act for the
residential portions. This had been noted in the notes at the lower part of sheet
A1.01.
4) There exists on each floor a Handicap space at the north side of the parking
structure in Phase lIB, as indicated on sheets A1.01, A2.01, A2.02, A2.03, A2.04,
A2.05 and A2.06.
5) The exits in all buildings shall comply with the FBC section 1015.1 and table
1015.1 for exit travel distance. We have checked our travel distances and none
exceed the maximum requirement of 250 feet from the most remote point to an
entrance of an exit.
6) All proposed structures shall comply with the height and area requirements, as well
as all other requirements of the Rorida Building code in affect, at the time of permit
submission. This statement was also on the sheet A 1.0 1.

Re: Ellipse - Shared Parking Study
Dear Hugo:
Traf Tech Engineering, Inc. was retained by RAM Development to undertake a shared
parking analysis in connection with the proposed re-development of the existing
shopping center located on the southwest corner of Woolbright Road and US I in the
City of Boynton Beach, Florida. Figure I on the next page illustrates the location of the
project site. The existing shopping center consists of approximately 150,000 square feet
of commercial space including a Publix Supermarket. The re-development plans include
the demolition of the existing commercial center and replacing it with a mixed-use
project. The land uses associated with the mixed-use development are:
o 594 townhome units (154 are one-bedroom units, 18 live/work units, and 422 two
and three bedroom units)
o 140,449 square feet of retail space, including restaurants
o 13,490 square feet of office space
Proposed Development
As indicated above, the proposed mixed-use development will include residential, retail,
and office land uses. The project parcel is divided in four quadrants by providing two
main internal roadways, one in the north-south direction and the other oriented east-west,
as depicted in the site plan contained in Appendix A of this study. The northwest
quadrant of the site plan is anticipated to include a Publix Supermarket, retail land uses,
office space, and residential units. The remaining portion of the site is planned with retail
space and residential units.
Access to the site is planned via two access driveways off of Woolbright Road, one
access driveway on US 1, and two access driveways off of SE 18th Avenue. The
easternmost driveway off of Woolbright Road is planned with a traffic signal in order to
allow all turning movements at this main entrance. The west driveway on Woolbright
Road is planned as a right-turn outbound-only driveway. The US 1 access driveway is
planned as a right-turn in/right-turn out driveway. All movements will be permitted from
the entrance/exit driveways located on SE 18th Avenue.

Dear Hugo,
The CRA does not initiate ordinances; therefore, we would not be able to authorize such a letter.
You would need to work with Mike Rumpf, Vivian Brooks and Marie Horenburger (CRA Board Member appointed
rep for Arts Commission) to assist you with the artistic features within the project.
I have met twice with City on the parking "in-lieu" and I believe we can work this portion out as well. Give me a
call next week so that we can set a meeting to outline all the challenges on the project.

Thanks for your email and your call.
We are using the new calculations from the ULI shared parking analysis. However, out total parking count is
coming in 28 spaces below that number. The reason for this is that because of the way the parking structures are
set up, we would need to provide another deck in one of the structures and the smallest one is around 90 spaces,
which means we would be adding 62 unneeded spaces. Needless to say this is very costly (at $20,000 per space)
and we need to avoid this, which is why we were proposing a payment in-lieu of parking (as a worse case
scenario) for the 28 spaces.
One other solution would be for us to add parking at grade on the SW corner of the property that we were
including as pervious area to meet the 20% requirement. If we could replace this with surface parking, we would
cover this. Can we get a variance on the 20%? Some developments have claimed areas w/pavers as pervious
such as sidewalks, plazas, etc. So I think this is workable on your site as well. Of course that only addresses the
code requirement. I can't speak to engineerings pervious desires.
Also, I didn't know about the 1 % fee and had not included it in my ProForma. Is it 1 % of Hard Costs? It was my
impression that the CRA would cover the art in public places, or reimburse us for this fee. No the CRA cannot
reimburse you for the Art Fee. You may be able to offset some of the cost through the Direct Incentive Program.
I will finish by saying that with these changes, the numbers are getting scary (they were already looking tight), and
we would like to work with you to see how we can solve this and push this project ahead. The numbers are
scary, but that's why you get the big bucks, right? However, there is always more than one way to skin a cat (old
American saying).

Hi Hugo, I'm responding to your inquiries per Lisa.
For your parking cales, were you using the share parking from our code or the newer ULI version? I will be
bringing the new ULI cales to the City to consider a text amendment. There is no more "fee in lieu of' for
parking. Regarding public art, it is now a requirement to pay 1 % of the value of new construction for the Art in
Public Places Program. 70% of the fee may be reimbursed to you if :
(1) The owner of a development agrees to follow the Art Commission's recommendations to develop
the art in the proj ect; and
(2) Prior to placement on the development site, has the artwork approved by the Arts Commission to
insure that the artwork will be accessible and readily visible to the public based on location of artwork
and normal traffic of vehicles/pedestrians in the proposed location; and
(3) Select an artist directly to execute a project that meets specific criteria outlined by the
recommendations and guidelines document provided by the Arts Commission or hire a professional
consultant to select artists to commission site-specific, architecturally integrated artworks that meet
specific art guidelines criteria outlined by the recommendations and guidelines document provided by
the Arts Commission; or purchase artworks for permanent installation recommended by the Arts
Commission; or elect to purchase an existing artwork or commission an original artwork for donation as
a gift to the City of Boynton Beach's public art collection.
You may potentially recoup some of your art funds, through the CRA's Direct Incentive Program.
However, this program is still under revision so I cannot give you any particulars as of yet.
Contact me if you have any further questions related to these issues. I look forward to working with you
to bring your project to fruition.

RE: Proposed Land Use Amendment - (LUAR 06-016 - Sunshine Square)
Dear Mr. Breese:
The School District Planning Department has reviewed the proposed land use amendment for a 14.42-
acre site located at the southwest corner of Woolbright Road and Federal Highway. The proposed land
use change is from the Boynton Beach land use designation of General Commercial to the Boynton
Beach land use designation of Mixed Use (40 du/ac - 1.71 FAR). The proposed residential development
will consist of 576 multi-family units.
The proposed development is located in Concurrency Service Area (CSA) 19 and SAC 273. Based on
the School District's adopted student multipliers for a dwelling unit, the proposed development of 576
multi-family units may generate approximately 46 elementary school students, 23 middle school students
and 35 high school students. The schools currently serving the area are as follows:
Schools Current Current Utilization %
Capacity Enrollment
Forest Park Elementary. School 632 494 78%
Odyssey Middle School 1489 1100 74%
Boynton Beach High School 2233 1744 78%
The schools referenced above that would currently serve the proposed development are subject to
change due to boundary adjustments to equalize utilization, or to provide capacity for the new student
growth.
The level of service for school concurrency is 110%. Based on existing utilization, another school would
not be necessary to serve the area. Please be advised that aj>ublic School Concurrency Determination ~\J
is not required as a part of the Land Use Amendment process, but will be required In conjunction with the "t--
rezoning/site plan applications.

Build-out:
Based on our review, the Traffic Division has the following comments:
· Provide the parcellD number(s).
· Provide a project traffic generation table that clearly illustrates the forecasted
Daily, AM and PM. trip generations, 35 well as the rates and quantity of ,-:'l3ss-by
and intemalization, under both existing and proposed scenalios.
· Quantity of Internalization and passer-by for the proposed development on Table
3 seem to be incorrect under the Daily scenario. Be advised that the maximum
rate of internalization allowed would be 15% under very favorable conditions.
· Revise the project traffic assignment to reflect the following changes:
o Assign 55% on Woolbright Road, west of the project access location.
and 25% eastbound towards the intersection of US-1, of which 20%
shall turn left to go north on US-1, while 5% proceeds through on
Woolbright Road east of LJS-1.
o On Assign 20% to go south on US-1, from the project driveway on LIS.
1
· Project traffic assignment needs to start from the project driveways. For
instance, project traffic assignment on the directly accessed link of Wcolbright
Road is 55% westbound and 25% eastbound. The link needs to be broken into
two segments, with Test 1 conducted for each separately.

. Revise Table 4 to include a column on the existing link volumes.
The County reserves the rights for further comments on the impact analysis upon the
revisions which are herein required.
Sincerely,
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.

Shared Parking Analysis
A shared parking analysis was undertaken for the proposed mixed-use development.
Shared parking is defined as parking spaces that are shared between different land uses,
especially if the land uses have parking peaks at different times of the day. The parking
spaces required by the individual land uses were based on information contained in the
City of Boynton Beach Land Development Code.
The parking requirements of the individual land uses located within the site are presented
below:
o Residential (594 units 1):
o Retail (140,449 square feet2):
o Office (13,490 square feet):
Total
1,084 parking spaces
702 parking spaces
68 parking spaces
1,854 parking Spaces
Using the percent parking distribution (shared parking principles), by time of day, as
published in the Urban Land Institute's (ULI) Shared Parking document, the maximum
number of parking spaces required to serve the land uses located at the site is 1,656
parking spaces. Table I presents the results of the shared parking analysis. Therefore,
the 1,661 proposed parking spaces are anticipated to be sufficient to comfortably
accommodate the peak parking demands of the proposed land uses associated with the
Ellipse mixed-use development

Mr. Hugo Pacanins
Ram Development
5555 Anglers Avenue, Suite 21
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312
Re: Ellipse - Shared Parking Study
Dear Hugo:
Traf Tech Engineering, Inc. was retained by RAM Development to undertake a shared
parking analysis in connection with the proposed re-development of the existing
shopping center located on the southwest comer of Woolbright Road and US 1 in the
City of Boynton Beach, Florida. Figure 1 on the next page illustrates the location of the
project site. The existing shopping center consists of approximately 150,000 square feet
of commercial space including a Publix Supermarket. The re-development plans include
the demolition of the existing commercial center and replacing it with a mixed-use
project. The land uses associated with the mixed-use development are:
o 594 townhome units (154 are one-bedroom units, 18 live/work units, and 422 two
and three bedroom units)
o 140,449 square feet of retail space, including restaurants
o 13,490 square feet of office space
Proposed Development
As indicated above, the proposed mixed-use development will include residential, retail,
and office land uses. The project parcel is divided in four quadrants by providing two
main internal roadways, one in the north-south direction and the other oriented east-west,
as depicted in the site plan contained in Appendix A of this study. The northwest
quadrant of the site plan is anticipated to include a Publix Supermarket, retail land uses,
office space, and residential units. The remaining portion of the site is planned with retail
space and residential units.
Access to the site is planned via two access driveways off of Woolbright Road, one
access driveway on US 1, and two access driveways off of SE 18th Avenue. The
easternmost driveway off of Woolbright Road is planned with a traffic signal in order to
allow all turning movements at this main entrance. The west driveway on Woolbright
Road is planned as a right-turn outbound-only driveway. The US 1 access driveway is
planned as a right-turn in/right-turn out driveway. All movements will be permitted from
the entrance/exit driveways located on SE 18th Avenue.
8400 North University Drive, Suite 307, Tamarac, Florida 33321
