BACKGROUND
Mr. James G. Vitter, agent for the property owner (Gulfstream Lumber Company) is
requesting to develop a large scale, mixed-use project. The survey shows that the
subject property is currently developed with several one (l)-story buildings and
their related parking areas. The intent is to raze the existing lumber yard and
redevelop the site with two (2) apartment buildings with a total of 404 units, 20
townhouse units, a mixed-use building consisting of 70 loft units over 43,361
square feet of retail space. The property was previously rezoned from Community
Commercial (C-3) to Mixed Use-Low (MU-L) on June 17, 2003 per Ordinance 03-
032. However, approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the
accompanying request to abandon a portion of Alden Street (SE 3rd Street) (ABAN
05-003).
ANALYSIS
Generally, anticipated project traffic is generated by two factors, namely the
proposed use and its intensity. Intensity is typically measured by the proposed
building area (in square feet). A traffic study was submitted by the applicant and
reviewed by the Palm Beach County Traffic Division. However, several comments
were generated by the Traffic Division and as of today, the project has not received
a letter of concurrency approval from Palm Beach County. The applicant has re-
submitted the information addressing the County's comments and is awaiting their
response. No building permits are to be issued until the Traffic Division approves
the study for traffic concurrency purposes (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval).

Utilities: The purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach
County Utilities represents a portion of the City's potable water supply that would
support the needs of this project (projected to a total of 83,885 gallons per day).
Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be required for the project,
dependent upon the final project configuration and fire-flow demands. These local
improvements would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be
reviewed at the time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater
treatment capacity is currently available to serve the project total of 44,225 gallons
per day, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity, following
approval of the site plan.
Police/Fire: For the purposes of this study, a statistical analysis was completed to show the
percentage of increase in police calls for service for the selected project area. A
crime analysis for 2004 shows that there have been 8,971 calls for service for zone
4, which represents 13.3% of all calls for service. There are no other existing
developments to use as a comparison for this assessment. It must be noted that
this project is one of seven (7) mixed-use projects planned for completion. An
increase of 15% in total calls for service is projected from proposed citywide
growth. The subject project would have a direct impact on providing an adequate
level of public service to this area. The need for additional officers in Zone 4 is
evident by the high percentage of calls for service that one officer is currently
handling. Due to new development throughout the city, all city services will be
affected. Service requirements for the police department will be impacted greatly
and the demand for more police personnel and equipment will be needed to
balance the increase in population.
Fire staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current-staffing levels would
be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. Infrastructure
requirements such as hydrants and roadways would be addressed during the
permitting process (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions
be deferred until time of permit review (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
School: The School District has not yet determined that adequate capacity exists to
accommodate the projected resident children. No building permits are to be issued
until compliance is demonstrated (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Driveways: The project can be characterized as "urban infill, mixed-use" development whereby
front building setbacks are minimal and off-street parking is relegated to a
subordinate role. The site plan shows that the development would be divided into
three (3) distinct areas, namely, the five (5)-story apartment building portions, the
townhouse element, and the mixed-use component. The plans show that parking
garages would provide for the majority of off-street parking spaces for the entire
project. The garages are intentionally proposed as hidden structures located within
the core of the project and virtually unseen from the major roadways. Likewise,
the project is not proposing traditional driveways or surface parking lots like that of
Staff Report - Uptown Lofts at Boynton Place (NWSP 05-021)
Memorandum No PZ 05-131
Page 4
"suburban"-type of projects (where driveways connect to off-street parking located
in front of the buildings).
The site plan shows that vehicles would enter the site from four (4) locations. The
main entrance is proposed on Federal Highway. This entrance would serve as the
primary point of ingress for all portions of the development. Although not
dimensioned, vehicles traveling either northbound or southbound on Federal
Highway would enter the site via a 24-foot wide opening underneath a two (2)-
story decorative archway. The archway will be discussed later in the staff report.
This opening allows for both vehicle ingress and egress. The egress lane would
allow for right-turn (south) traffic movement onto southbound Federal Highway.
The driveway, drive aisles, and turning radius, internal to the development, would
be improved to conform to current city engineering standards.
The project's second main entrance is proposed along Woolbright Road. This
entrance would provide access to the entire site. Although not dimensioned, when
scaled, it appears that this second driveway opening proposed on Woolbright Road
would also be 24 feet in width. The opening would be located over 400 feet west
of the intersection of Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. It should be noted
that an existing traffic signal is located on Woolbright Road just west of this
proposed second entrance into the subject development. However, at the present
time, this traffic signal only serves the commercial plaza directly to the south and
across the street of the subject property. It is intent of this project to relocate the
existing traffic signal (on Woolbright Road) approximately 250 feet to the east in
order to align with the proposed entrance (for the subject development) as well as
connecting to an existing alternate entrance to the commercial plaza to the south.
This realignment is currently being coordinated between the City and the Palm
Beach County Traffic Engineering. As a side note, the proposed location of this
signalized intersection would be nearly equidistant from both the railroad tracks and
the intersection of Federal Highway / Woolbright Road.
The site plan shows two (2) alternate entrances; one proposed on Woolbright
Road, the other, proposed on Alden Street (SE 3rd Street) near Southeast 12th
Avenue. The purpose of the ingress / egress proposed along Woolbright Road
would be to provide access to only the five (5) story condominium portion of the
development. Although not dimensioned, the driveway opening appears to be 24
feet in width. It would allow for right (west) turn traffic movements but left (east)
turn traffic movements onto Woolbright Road would have to be further evaluated.
The second alternate entrance proposed on Alden Road (SE 3rd Street) and
Southeast 12th Avenue would proVide access to the entire development.
Parking Facility: Off-street parking proposed within the development must meet the requirements in
Chapter 2, Section n.H. of the Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations.
The project proposes a mix of residential and retail uses. One-bedroom apartment
units require one and one-half (1 V2) parking spaces. Two bedroom apartment units
require two (2) parking spaces. The project proposes a total of 494 dwelling units
(with a mixture of one, two, and three bedrooms) in conjunction with 43,361
square feet of retail space. When combined with the additional parking spaces
Staff Report - Uptown Lofts at Boynton Place (NWSP 05-021)
Memorandum No PZ 05-131
Page 5
required for recreation areas and leasing facilities, the total parking requirements
equal 1,124 spaces. The project proposes 1,344 parking spaces, an excess of 220
parking spaces (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The parking spaces
would be provided as follows: 1,223 parking garage spaces, 40 townhouse garage
parking spaces, 16 tandem driveway spaces, 42 on-street parking spaces, and 23
surface parking spaces.
Collectively, the south and north apartment towers require a total of 727 parking
spaces. The plans propose 467 parking spaces within each apartment tower
garage, thereby providing a cumulative total of 934 parking spaces; an excess of
207 parking spaces. A total of 54 spaces in each garage are earmarked for guest
parking. The guest parking would occur on the ground floor. The intent is to
restrict access to the upper levels of the garage so that those spaces may be used
solely by the residents who reside within apartment building.
The three (3)-story mixed-use buildings (retail and residential) proposed along
Federal Highway and Woolbright Road, in conjunction with the 3,404 square foot
indoor recreation area would require a total of 352 parking spaces. The adjacent
parking garage would accommodate up to 289 vehicles. The intent is to utilize the
42 on-street (internal) parking spaces and the 23 surface parking spaces.
Combined, the plan would provide 354 parking spaces for these uses, an excess of
two (2) spaces. It should be noted that the floor plan of the 3,404 square foot
indoor recreation building indicates that it would be used for retail purposes.
However, the applicant informed staff that this is not the intended use and it is
earmarked for an indoor recreation area for residents of the loft units. This should
be noted as such on both the site plan and respective floor plan at the time of
permitting (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
The 20-townhouse units and corresponding community pool would require a total
of 45 parking spaces. Each unit would have a two (2)-car garage thereby providing
40 garage spaces. Also, 16 driveway spaces would be provided as well. The
townhouses would have 11 extra parking spaces. Staff recognizes that users ofthe
community pool would not park their vehicles in other townhouse owners'
driveways. Users of the community pool would either use the surface parking or
on-street parking. This sharing of the surface spaces with the 3,404 square foot
indoor recreation building (proposed along Federal Highway) for the loft units is
acceptable to staff.
Landscaping:
The cover sheet tabular data indicates that the proposed pervious areas would
equal 119,707 square feet or 18.8% of the site. The MU-L zoning district requires
a minimum 20% pervious area. Therefore, an extra 1.2% or 23,941 square feet of
pervious surface shall be found (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
According to the applicant, the additional pervious surface can be accommodated
by including the courtyard areas within the five (5)-story apartment buildings. The
Landscape Notes (sheet L-4) indicates the subject site currently contains 110 trees.
The landscape plan indicates the tree location areas would occur along Woolbright
Road. The landscape plan plant list proposes a total of 155 canopy trees, 120 palm
Staff Report - Uptown Lofts at Boynton Place (NWSP 05-021)
Memorandum No PZ 05-131
Page 6
trees, 5,716 shrub and groundcover plants. According to the plant list, 92% of the
canopy trees would be native and 100% of the palm trees would be native. The
landscape plan also proposes a 100% native shrubs / hedges / accent plants.
Currently, the plant list indicates the following species: Date palm, Cabbage palm,
Purple Glory tree, Live Oak, Annuals, DwarfYaupon Schillings, Flame of the Woods
Ixora, Florida Privet, Aztec Grass, and Dwarf Schefflera. In order to prevent
monoculture (against possible disease), the landscape plan proposes varying plant
material. The alternate species are as follows: Foxtail palm, Washington palm,
Red Maple, Sycamore, Silver Buttonwood, Anise, Indian Hawthorne, and Sadakwa
Viburnum. However, considering the size of the project, the variety of plant
material is still minimal. Staff recommends the use of a greater palette of shrub
material, especially those with more colorful varieties. At the very least, staff
recommends including Florida Royal palm trees within the alternate plant list (see
Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Note #1 on the plant list indicates that the palm trees proposed in front of the
buildings (along Federal Highway and Woolbright Road) would be installed at least
half of the building height. These mixed-use buildings would be located close to
the east and south property lines and therefore, would be consistent with the intent
of the Land Development Regulations of the MU-L zoning district. However, the
landscape plan still would provide for plant material along these main roadways to
help break up the building mass. In fact, these areas would be at least 10 feet in
width to accommodate the installation of larger-size palm trees.
Similar to the north landscape buffer, the south landscape buffer would also be 10
feet in depth at its narrowest point. Again, the palm trees proposed within this
buffer would be installed at half the building height. As previously mentioned, the
relocated trees would be transplanted to the specific areas within this southern
buffer to help soften the bulk of the five (5)-story apartment building. The south
buffer would include Live Oak and Cabbage palm trees.
Although not dimensioned, it appears as though the west landscape buffer adjacent
to the Florida East Coast railroad right-of-way would be four (4) feet in width at its
narrowest point. Generally, the plant material proposed within this buffer would be
minimal. No residential units within the apartment buildings would face the
railroad tracks. In essence, the interior parking garages would buffer the units
from the train noise.
Although not dimensioned, the north landscape buffer appears to be over 10 feet
at its narrowest point. This buffer would occur along Southeast 12th Avenue and
between the subject property and the few remaining lots of the block. This buffer
would contain the Live Oak trees, hedge material and groundcover plants.
The interior of the site would basically contain the same plant material as the
perimeter buffers. Staff focused on the location and height of the proposed trees,
especially in areas where parking structures and large buildings are proposed. The
mixed-use parking garage would be softened by the installation of Cabbage palm
trees along all facades spaced no greater than 15 feet apart. The interior street

Memorandum No PZ 05-131
Page 7
system would have parallel (on-street) parking spaces interrupted by "bulb-outs".
Each bulb-out would contain a Live Oak shade tree installed within them.
However, staff offers the following recommendations to enhance the overall
landscape design of the project - installing additional groundcover plants at the
base of each tree within each bulb-out; installing additional trees and Philodendron
selloum along the south fa~ade of the South Tower and the east fa~ades of both
towers.
Building and Site: The site plan proposes a mix of residential and commercial uses. The commercial
square footage would total 10.1% of the total building area. Building and site
design as proposed would generally meet code requirements when staff comments
are incorporated into the permit drawings. The maximum allowed density of the
Mixed-Use land use category would be 40 dwelling units per acre. The proposed
project density would be 33.8 dwelling units per acre. As previously mentioned,
the existing buildings would be replaced with two (2) five (5)-story apartment
buildings, a three (3)-story mixed-use building, and three (3)-story townhouse
buildings. The depth of the parcel extends westward from Federal Highway to the
Florida East Coast railroad tracks. The subject property fronts on two (2) major
roadways (Federal Highway and Woolbright Road). The taller, five (5)-story,
apartment buildings would back against the west property line along the railroad
tracks whereas the three (3)-story mixed-use buildings would face Federal Highway
and Woolbright Road. The apartment buildings as well as the mixed-use buildings
would contain internal parking garages. The mixed-use buildings are oriented so
that they "face" the street, a characteristic fully endorsed by staff. The MU-L
zoning district allows for a maximum building height as a permitted use, of 75 feet.
The elevations of the apartment towers show that both buildings would comply
with the height limitation. The roofline level would be at 52 feet - six (6) inches in
height while the peak of the structure would be 67 feet - two (2) inches in height.
The three (3)-story townhouses are proposed at 37 feet - one (1) inch in height.
They would be located along the internal roadway system between the apartment
buildings (to the west) and the mixed-use buildings (to the east). The mixed-use
buildings would be 43 feet - five (5) inches in height at the midpoint of the roof
and 50 feet in height at the peak. In summary, all proposed buildings meet code
as it relates to maximum building height.
All buildings are proposed within close proximity of the property lines (that front on
rights-of-way) in order to create a more urban environment, consistent with
recommendations of the Federal Highway Corridor Redevelopment Plan. The east
setback along Federal Highway would vary slightly but maintain at least a 10-foot
front setback. The south side setback of the mixed-use building proposed along
Woolbright Road would be 10 feet - nine (9) inches in width at the narrowest
point. The South (apartment) tower would be 51 feet - six (6) inches from the
south property line. As previously mentioned, the apartment towers proposed
along the railroad tracks appear to be setback four (4) feet from the west property
line. The North (apartment) tower would be located 12 feet - two (2) inches from
the north property line at its narrowest point. The development's clubhouse would
be located 44 feet - eight (8) inches from the north property line.
Staff Report - Uptown Lofts at Boynton Place (NWSP 05-021)
Memorandum No PZ 05-131
Page 8
The plans show that the commercial areas of the mixed-use buildings would occur
on the first floor only. The residential "loft" units would occur on the second and
third floors. According to the site plan tabular data, one (l)-bedroom, two (2)-
bedroom, and three (3)-bedroom units would occur within all building types
(apartment towers, lofts, and townhouses). However, the townhouse units would
only be offered in the three (3)-bedroom unit configuration. The smallest unit
within the five (5)-story apartment buildings would be 911 square feet (under Alc)
and the largest unit would be 1,603 square feet (under A/C). The floor plans of the
townhouse units show that each unit would be 1,554 square feet (under Alc). The
smallest sized loft unit is shown to be 712 square feet (under A/C). According to
Chapter 2, Section 5.F.5., the MU-L zoning district requires that the minimum unit
size be 750 square feet in area. These units would not comply with code as it's
currently labeled. However, the applicant informed staff that this was a scrivener's
error and that the units would be 771 square feet in area. Therefore, at the time
of permitting, the floor plans will have to be modified to be labeled as such (see
Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The largest sized loft unit would be 1,186
square feet in area.
Design:
The proposed development can be generally described as being separated into
three (3) different areas. The eastern third would be comprised of the mixed-use
buildings. The central third would be comprised of the townhouse buildings and
the western third would be comprised of the apartment towers. The proposed
architecture could be described as contemporary mixed with hints of Spanish-
Mediterranean. Also noteworthy is that the project parking would be virtually
hidden from all views and is considered to be a subordinate, unobtrusive element
of the plan. Vehicular traffic is contained within the internal framework of the
project. The parking garages of the tower buildings would be enclosed but would
have decorative openings compliant with Florida Building Code. These openings
would resemble large windows. The mixed-use parking garage would have the
palm trees installed around all sides.
The elevations do not indicate the proposed exterior finish and colors of the
buildings; a color schedule has been provided via ledger-sized color elevations.
The applicant is proposing four (4) colors throughout the entire development. The
project's proposed building colors are as follows:
Te rra cotta
Brown
Creme
Light Green
Red Clay
Casbah
Desert Floor
Desert Valley
ICI 213
ICI 203
ICI 561
ICI 629
The project also proposes canvas awnings on the mixed-use buildings. Although
not indicated on the elevations, the applicant informed staff that the awning colors
would be blue, green, or red with white stripes. Staff recommends that the
awnings be an element of a future design program (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval). The intent is to have all buildings (both mixed-use, apartment towers,
and townhouses) share the same color palette. A general intent of Chapter 9
Staff Report - Uptown Lofts at Boynton Place (NWSP 05-021)
Memorandum No PZ 05-131
Page 9
(Community Design Plan) is to ensure that buildings achieve visual unity of
character and design concepts, in part, through the use of building colors.
However, there are no established noteworthy building colors or architectural
themes within the immediate area with which this project should be compatible.
Therefore, the proposed colors for this site plan would not be inappropriate,
incompatible, or obtrusive. Staff recommends that all roofs for all buildings be
covered with the same style and color of roof tile (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of
Approval). Color, window forms, and decorative appointments are used to unify
the buildings. One of the most interesting project features is the inclusion of an
archway that would connect the mixed-use building to the 3,404 square foot indoor
recreation building. The archway's sole purpose is for aesthetic appeal to create
the illusion of connecting all the buildings proposed along Federal Highway
together.
Signage:
Minimal project detail regarding proposed signage was shown with this submittal.
Staff recommends utilizing a sign program for the entire project to ensure
sustained continuity throughout the life of the project (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions
of Approval). All project signage shall conform to the regulations as set forth in
Chapter 9 (Community Design Plan) and Chapter 21 of the Land Development
Regulations.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request and recommends approval, contingent upon the approval of the
accompanying request for abandonment (ABAN 05-003) and all items noted within Exhibit "CIf - Conditions
of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

Laurinda,
I'm doing the staff report for Gulfstream Lumber and I'm explaining the traffic signal relocation situation on Woolbright
Road. Please read the paragraph below and let me know if you have any additional comments or if you think the
commentary inaccurate. Is it coherent? Thanks, Eric
The project's second main entrance is proposed along Woolbright Road. This entrance would provide access
to the entire site. Although not dimensioned, when scaled, it appears that the driveway opening proposed on
Woolbright Road would be 24 feet in width. The opening would be located over 400 feet west of the
intersection of Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. It should be noted that an existing traffic signal is
located on Woolbright Road just west west of this proposed second entrance into the subject development.
However, at the present time, this traffic signal only serves the commercial plaza directly to the south and
across the street of the subject property. It is intent of this project to relocate the existing traffic signal (on
Woolbright Road) approximately 250 feet to the east in order to align with the proposed entrance (for the
subject development) as well as connecting to an existing alternate entrance to the commericial plaza to the
south. As a side note, the proposed location of this signalized intersection would be nearly equidistant from
both the railroad tracks and the intersection of Federal Highway / Woolbright Road.

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.
All utility lines are shown on the landscape plan and on sheet

Highway,fromjust north of Woolbright Road to SW 12th
A venue. Please justify the correctness of the Conceptual
Utility Plan sheet [C3] submitted. Verify that proposed
building utility laterals along Federal Highway are valid.
Per conversation with the utility department, the water main
along the west side of Federal Highway does exist and is
marked in the field.
8-inch water mains proposed within the development and
connecting to 6-inch lines in Woolbright Rd. and Federal
Hwy., and SE 12th Ave. are insufficient to provide 1,500
g.p.m. with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as required by Code.
External improvements will be required. In order to
accomplish this, a Hardy-Cross analysis will be required of
this region of the city to determine the extent of external
requirements.
An analysis of the local water system and pressures is
currently under way. We request that this requirement be a
condition of approval.
The proposed 8-inch water main is shown tying into a water
main on the west side of Federal Hwy. The City's atlas maps
show the main on the west side of Federal Hwy. terminating
with a fire hydrant just south of SE 12th Ave.
Per conversation with the utility department, the water main
along the west side of Federal Highway does exist and is
marked in the field.
Wastewater collection appears to be missing from the south
half of the building facing Federal Highway at the southeast
comer of the property; extend the line servicing the north
half of this same building accordingly for the required
service.
The plans have been revised as requested.
A public lift station will not be permitted on this project. If
no alternative to using a lift station is found a private lift
station may be allowed. Additional information regarding

abandonment (ABAN 05-003) of a portion of Alden Street.
Please provide the City with responses from each public
service provider, namely, Florida Power & Light, Bel/south,
Florida Public Utilities Company, Adelphia Cable, and
Comcast Cable. Site plan approval is also contingent upon
City Commission Approval of a Height Exception.
Responses from the above listed utilities were provided at
time of site plan application. All buildings are 75 feet in
height or less as measured for lowest point on the property
line.
A drainage statement is required prior to the TART meeting
(Chapter 4, Section 7.F.2.).
The requested drainage statement was provided at time of site
plan application. It has been added as note 1 to sheet C2.
Submit a traffic impact analysis prior to the TART meeting.
The analysis must be approved by the Palm Beach County
Traffic Division for concurrency purposes (Chapter 4.
Section 8.F.). The proposed uses and intensities on the
traffic study must be consistent with the proposed uses and
intensities itemized on the site plan (sheet C-l ).
Per conversation between Kyle Riva and Jeff Livergood on
Thursday June 30, 2005, the notice of concurrency will not
be required at this time, but will be a condition of site plan
approval.
The project must obtain approval from the School District of
Palm Beach County regarding school concurrency prior to
the issuance of a building permit. It would be preferable to

Community Redevelopment Agency Board meeting.
Acknowledged. The concurrency application has been sent
to Ed Breese for sign off.
A unity of title may be required. The Building Division of the
Department of Development will determine its applicability.
Regardless, this project is treated as a large-scale mixed-use
project whereby density, buildings, and site regulations are
based upon the entire 14A63-acre parcel. Please note that
there should be no future attempt to subdivide the two (2)
residential towers from the rest of the plan because to do so,
would cause the density, buildings, and site to become non-
conforming.
Acknowledged.
The proposed stand-alone restaurant must be constructed
within the same structure as the remaining commercial/
mixed-use development (Chapter 2, Section 6.FA.). Staff
recommends either eliminating the stand-alone building all
together, or connecting it to the larger mixed-use building
with an archway or other comparable structure that would
still allow emergency and service trucks to enter the site
through the curb-cut on Federal Highway. Consider using
the tower feature (depicted on the restaurant building) at the
north end of the mixed use building immediately across the
driveway, to provide continuity in design and to assist with
overcoming the "stand alone" design of the restaurant
building.
Proposed connection between buildings is described in
landscape consultant's documents.
Restaurant uses may not exceed 30% of the gross floor area
of the entire development. In the site plan tabular data on
sheet C-1, indicate the proposed restaurant area and express
this information as a percentage of the total building area.
As proposed, the stand-alone restaurant located at the
northeast comer of the property is not permitted in its
current configuration pursuant to the above-referenced code.
The subject building's use has been changed from a
restaurant to a recreation facility.

Are fee-simple townhouses proposed for this project? If so,
on the site plan (sheet C-1), show the extent of their lot lines.
The fee-simple lot area must amount to at least 2,500 square
feetfor each lot (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5).
No fee-simple townhouses are proposed for this project.
All buildings, proposed along and abutting Federal Highway
and Woolbright Road must be at least 35 feet in height
(Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5.). This requirement directly
impacts the one (1 )-story stand-alone restaurant proposed at
the northeast corner of the property. Staff recommends
creating a loft space or mezzanine space on top so that the
structure would be 35 feet in height. Also, an archway,
attached to the three (3 )-story building proposed to the south
would help this building comply with code.
The stand alone retail structure has been revised to comply
with height requirement.
The MU-L zoning district allows for a maximum of 40
dwelling units per acre (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5.). Indicate
the proposed project density in the site plan tabular data
(sheet C-1) to ensure compliance with the above-referenced
code.
The proposed density is shown on sheet Cl.
This parcel is eligible for a maximum Floor-area-ratio
between 1.5 and 2.0 (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5.). Indicate the
proposed FAR on the site plan tabular data (sheet C-1).
Please note that the FAR will not include parking structures.

Staff recommends installing additional trees (i. e.
combination of Washing toni a and Travelers palm trees)
around the south and east facades of the two (2) residential
towers. These trees should be of substantial size (
approximately one-half of the height of the structure) at the
time of their installation to help soften the impact of the 63-
foot tall residential towers.
The final landscape plans may show additional trees such as
Washingtonia or Travelers palm trees around the towers to
help reduce the scale of the buildings. These designs will
need be in response to the final architectural elevations based
on comments and reviews.
Staff recommends incorporating benches into the design of
the public plaza proposed at the southeast comer of the
subject property.
The final hardscape and landscape plans will contain
elements such as benches, fountains, or other amenities to
enhance the scale and feel of the plaza at the southeast corner
of the property.
Staff recommends similar roof styles for all buildings
proposed throughout the development. For example, if the
townhouses have concrete tiles, then the S-tile roof of the
residential towers should be converted to have concrete tiles.
The objective is to have unifying elements throughout the
entire development for all structures. This could be
accomplished by utilizing the same cornice work, decorative
aluminum railings, rounded windows, building colors,
archways, accent tiles, medallions, and other architectural
features into the design of all buildings.
All roofs will be covered with the same style and color of tile.
Color, window forms, and decorative appointments are used
to unify the buildings.
Staff recommends that the green areas proposed south of the
southern residential tower be designed as a formal
landscaped outdoor living area with large canopy trees,
paver paths amongst lush vegetation connecting small paver
plazas throughout with decorative benches, Lighting and
waste receptacles.

Final landscape and hardscape plans will reflect the final
design of recreational spaces to provide the most effective
and safe areas for the users. The final landscape plans may
incorporate a more robust landscape palette and layout.
Staff recommends installing Medjool Date Palms or Canary
Island Date palms into the center of the round-a-bout.
A Date Palm is shown in the center of the round-a-bout. The
final landscape plans will address the final landscape design
of the shrubs and groundcovers around that palm.
Consider connection of the parking to the west of the
proposed restaurant and that around the clubhouse/pool to
allow free flow of parking without re-entering the main
entrance drive, due to the insufficient parking (7 spaces)
adjacent to the restaurant.
This area of the site plan has been revised.
Considering the size of the project, the variety of plant
material is minimal. Staff recommends the use of a greater
palette of shrub material, especially those more colorful
varieties.
The final landscape plan may include a larger palette of tree,
palm and shrub material. This palette would attempt to add a
greater variety of colors and species while maintaining the
50% minimum threshold of native species.
Staff recommends the use of Medjool Date Palms or Canary
Island Date Palms in tree grates within the plaza area at the
comer of Federal Highway and Woolbright Rd.
A design incorporating Date Palms and Sabal Palms has been
shown for the comer plaza. The final landscape plans will
address this in further detail.
Staff recommends the rooflines of the townhouse buildings
have a variation at the ridgeline in an effort to breakup the
long horizontal expanse of the roof
The townhouse ridges offset with the building plan so each
ridge is only as long as two units.

RE: Alden Road and Gulfstream Lumber
I have discussed the homeowner's CDncerns with the developer and engineer. They are making minor modifications to the
plan to accommodate his turn-around and backing movements, Otherwise I am comfortable with Fire-Rescue and Solid
Waste access.

Subject: Alden Road and Gulfstream Lumber
Laurinda,
From what I understand, the owner of the propery located on Alden Road, directly north of Gulfstream Lumber was
complaining to Ed how the Gulfstream Lumber project negatively impacts his property. I want to make sure that you
have a good comfort level in how Alden Street will terminate and that you're okay with the turn-around traffic for trash
truck, fire truck, etc. keeping in mind that this is a single-family house, There are no COA regarding this so I assume
that you're okay with it. Please confirm. I expect fireworks at the CRA meeting. Thanks, Eric

UTILITIES
Comments:
34. 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 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 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.
35. 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.
36. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the V
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).

37. 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
N, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters,
whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)).
38. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article N, 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. This plan is lacking sufficient coverage to meet this
criteria requirement. As an example, the middle % of the building facing
Federal Highway lacks fire coverage; the middle Y1 of the building facing
Woolbright Road as well as the middle Y1 the building facing the north-
south corridor roadway. In addition, none of the three (3) garage
structures are sufficiently covered. The plan does not reflect any note
indicating that any of the proposed structures are to be sprinklered.
Please demonstrate that the plan meets will meet the fire coverage
requirements by showing all required hydrants.
39. 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.
40. 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 irri.e;ation.
41. 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

stated in CODE Sec. 26-33(a).
42. 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.
43. 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.

As-built information may be obtained from the City of Boynton Beach
Utilities Department.
49. The City's atlas mapping for the utility systems does not reflect any
water main along the west side of Federal Highway, from just north of v/
Woolbright Road to SW 12th Avenue. Please justify the correctness of
the Conceptual Utility Plan sheet [C3] submitted. Verify that
proposed building utility laterals along Federal Highway are valid.
50. 8-inch water mains proposed within the development and connecting to
6-inch lines in Woolbright Rd. and Federal Hwy., and SE 12th Ave. are ~ ~
insufficient to provide 1,500 g.p.m. with 20 p.sj. residual pressure as
required by Code. External improvements will be required. In order to
accomplish this, a Hardy-Cross analysis will be required of this region
of the city to determine the extent of external requirements.
51. The proposed 8-inch water main is shown tying into a water main on the /
west side of Federal Hwy. The City's atlas maps show the main on the
west side of Federal Hwy. terminating with a fire hydrant just south of
SE 12th Ave.
52. Wastewater cDllection appears to be missing from the south half of the /
building facing Federal Highway at the southeast corner of the property;
extend the line servicing the north half of this same building accordingly
for the required service.
53. A public lift station will not be permitted on this project. If no /
alternative to using a lift station is found a private lift station may be
allowed. Additional information regarding finish floor elevations and
site elevations is needed for Staff to make an adequate analysis of the
proposal.

UTILITIES
Comments:
34. 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 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 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.
35. 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.
36. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the ,

37. 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)).
38. 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. This plan is lacking sufficient coverage to meet this
criteria requirement. As an example, the middle % of the building facing
Federal Highway lacks fire coverage; the middle 'is of the building facing
Woolbright Road as well as the middle 'is the building facing the north-
south corridor roadway. In addition, none of the three (3) garage
structures are sufficiently covered. The plan does not reflect any note
indicating that any of the proposed structures are to be sprinklered.
Please demonstrate that the plan meets will meet the fire coverage
requirements by showing all required hydrants.
39. 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 fonns 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.
40. 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.
41. 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).
42. 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.
43. 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.

Woolbright Road to SW 12th Avenue. Please justify the correctness of
the Conceptual Utility Plan sheet [C3] submitted. Verify that
proposed building utility laterals along Federal Highway are valid.
50. 8-inch water mains proposed within the development and connecting to
6-inch lines in Woolbright Rd. and Federal Hwy., and SE 12th Ave. are
insufficient to provide 1,500 g.p.m. with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as
required by Code. External improvements will be required. In order to
accomplish this, a Hardy-Cross analysis will be required of this region
of the city to determine the extent of external requirements.
51. The proposed 8-inch water main is shown tying into a water main on the
west side of Federal Hwy. The City's atlas maps show the main on the
west side of Federal Hwy. terminating with a fire hydrant just south of
SE 12th Ave.

33. 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
34. 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.
35. 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.
36. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
37. 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)).
38. 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. This plan is lacking sufficient coverage to meet this criteria requirement. As
an example, the middle % of the building facing Federal Highway lacks fire coverage; the middle % of
the building facing Woolbright Road as well as the middle % the building facing the north-south
corridor roadway. In addition, none of the three (3) garage structures are sufficiently covered. The
plan does not reflect any note indicating that any of the proposed structures are to be sprinklered.
Please demonstrate that the plan meets will meet the fire coverage requirements by showing all
required hydrants.
39, 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.
40. 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.

41. 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).
42. 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.
43. 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.
44. The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(0) requires Master Plans to show all utilities on or adjacent
to the 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.
45. 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.
46. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP.
47. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the building(s),
and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-207.
48. Show diameters for all existing water and sewer depicted on the plans. As-built information may be
obtained from the City of Boynton Beach Utilities Department.
49. The City's atlas mapping for the utility systems does not reflect any water main along the west side of
Federal Highway, from just north of Woolbright Road to SW 1ih Avenue. Please justify the
correctness of the Conceptual Utility Plan sheet [C3] submitted. Verify that proposed building utility
laterals along Federal Highway are valid.
50. 8-inch water mains proposed within the development and connecting to 6-in. lines in Woolbright Rd.
and Federal Hwy., and SE 1 ih Ave. are insufficient to provide 1,500 g.p.m. with 20 p.s.i. residual
pressure as required by Code. External improvements will be required. In order to accomplish this,
a Hardy-Cross analysis will be required of this region of the city to determine the extent of external
requirements.
51. The proposed 8-inch water main is shown tying into a water main on the west side of Federal Hwy.
The City's atlas ma~s show the main on the west side of Federal Hwy. terminating with a fire hydrant
just south of SE 1 i Ave.
52. Wastewater collection appears to be missing from the south half of the building facing Federal
Highway at the southeast corner of the property; extend the line servicing the north half of this same
building accordingly for the required service.

53. A public lift station will not be permitted on this project. If no alternative to using a lift station is found
a private lift station may be allowed. Additional information regarding finish floor elevations and site
elevations is needed for Staff to make an adequate analysis of the proposal.
54. 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.

It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the new site plan is publicly advertised in
accordance with Ordinance 04-007.
Approval of the site plan is contingent upon the successful abandonment (ABAN 05-003) of a
portion of Alden Street. Please provide the City with responses from each public service
provider, namely, Florida Power & Light, Bellsouth, Florida Public Utilities Company, Adelphia
Cable, and Comcast Cable.
A drainage statement is required prior to the TART meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.F.2.).
Submit a traffic impact analysis prior to the TART meeting. The analysis must be approved by
the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency purposes (Chapter 4. Section 8.F.). The
proposed uses and intensities on the traffic study must be consistent with the proposed uses and
intensities itemized on the site plan (sheet C-l).
The project must obtain approval from the School District of Palm Beach County regarding
school concurrency prior to the issuance of a building permit. It would be preferable to have
evidence (i.e. a letter) of their approval prior to the Community Redevelopment Agency Board
meeting.
A unity of title may be required. The Building Division of the Department of Development will
determine its applicability. Regardless, this project is treated as a large-scale mixed-use project
whereby density, buildings, and site regulations are based upon the entire 14.463-acre parcel.
Please note that there should be no future attempt to subdivide the two (2) residential towers from
the rest of the plan because to do so, would cause the density, buildings, and site to become non-
conforming.
The proposed stand-alone restaurant must be constructed within the same structure as the
remaining commercial/mixed-use development (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.4.). Staff recommends
either eliminating the stand-alone building all together, or connecting it to the larger mixed-use
building with an archway or other comparable structure that would still allow emergency and
service trucks to enter the site through the curb-cut on Federal Highway.
Restaurant uses may not exceed 30% of the gross floor area of the entire development. In the site
plan tabular data on sheet C-I, indicate the proposed restaurant area and express this information
as a percentage of the total building area. As proposed, the stand-alone restaurant located at the
northeast comer of the property is not permitted in its current configuration pursuant to the
above-referenced code.
Are fee-simple townhouses proposed for this project? Ifso, on the site plan (sheet C-l), show the
extent of their lot lines. The fee-simple lot area must amount to at least 2,500 square feet for each
lot (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5).
All buildings, proposed along and abutting Federal Highway and Woolbright Road must be at
least 35 feet in height (Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5.). This requirement directly impacts the one (1)-
story stand-alone restaurant proposed at the northeast comer of the property. Staff recommends
creating a 10ft space or mezzanine space on top so that the structure would be 35 feet in height.
Also, an archway, attached to the three (3)-story building proposed to the south would help this
building comply with code.
The MU-L zoning district allows for a maximum of 40 dwelling units per acre (Chapter 2,
Section 6.F.5.). Indicate the proposed project density in the site plan tabular data (sheet C-l) to
ensure compliance with the above-referenced code.
This parcel is eligible for a maximum Floor-area-ratio between 1.5 and 2.0 (Chapter 2, Section
6.F.5.). Indicate the proposed FAR on the site plan tabular data (sheet C-I). Please note that the
FAR will not include parking structures.
Will an on-site lift-station be required as a result of this development? If so, show its location on
the site plan (sheet C-l).
The dimensions of the roadway (pavement), drive aisles, back-up areas, and rights-of-way are
subject to the Engineering Division of Public Works' review and approval.
The site plan tabular data (sheet C-I) should accurately indicate the number of required parking
spaces. The code requires parking as follows:
Proposed Use

Parking spaces required in this ordinance for one use or structure may be allocated in part or in
whole for the required parking spaces of another use or structure if quantitative evidence is
provided showing that parking demand for the different uses or structures would occur on
different days of the week or at different hours. Quantitative evidence shall include estimates for
peak hour / peak season demand based on statistical data furnished by the Urban Land Institute or
equivalent traffic engineering or land planning and design organization (Chapter 2, Section
11.H.13.). The shared parking aspect of the plan may only be applied to the townhouses,
lofts, and retail portion; the two (2) residential towers cannot be included in the shared
parking analysis. Submit a shared parking analysis prior to the TART meeting.
On the site plan (sheet C-l), graphically show the building setbacks proposed along all property
lines, especially along the east and south property lines.
On the site plan (sheet C-l), show the location of the mailbox kiosks.
Are any live-work units proposed within the mixed-use building?
Provide a detail of the security gates (if proposed within the residential towers), including their
dimensions, material, and color.
Will there be a provision for outdoor patios, concrete patios, screen enclosures, or solid-roof
enclosures for the townhouses? Please discuss these amenities with staff prior to the TART
meeting.
Provide a sketch of the interior courtyard proposed within the residential towers. Will there be a
pool area?
The code defines building height as follows: The vertical distance in feet measured from the
lowest point at the property line of an adjacent property or from the minimum base flood
elevation as established by FEMA, whichever is highest, to the highest point of the roof for flat
roofs, to the deck line for mansard roofs and parapet roofs with parapets less than five (5) feet in
height. Gable and hip roof heights shall be measured to the midpoint between the eaves and the
ridge. On all elevation pages, indicate the proposed building heights and also include the
dimension of the highest point of the structure.
Provide building elevations (north, south, east, and west) of all buildings and structures (Chapter
4, Section 7.D.). On sheet A4.05, provide west and north elevations of the mixed-use building
proposed along Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. Indicate their direction (i.e. north, south,
east, or west elevation). On sheet A4.06, provide elevations for all building facades of the
townhouse buildings and indicate their direction. Provide elevations for all building facades of
the stand-alone restaurant. Provide elevations of the south fac;ade of the dumpster service yard
proposed along Woolbright Road.
All elevation pages shall indicate the exterior finishes, roof material, paint manufacturer's name,
and color codes. Staff recommends using a color schedule (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
Include a full-sized (24 inches by 36 inches) color rendering of all buildings at the Technical
Advisory Review Team (TART) meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.). Also, provide color swatches
and awning samples.
Provide floor plans and elevations of each parking garage. Also, please numerically label each
parking space. Question: Are any spaces proposed within the 289-car parking garage for the
mixed-use buildings earmarked for residential (lofts) units, proposed within the mixed-use
buildings?
On the floor plan of the townhouse buildings (sheet A2.13 and A2.l4), graphically indicate the
use of each room (i.e. garage, bedroom, and kitchen). In addition, indicate the square footage and
the number of bedrooms for each unit.
Question: Is it safe to have only one (1) emergency stairwell on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the
Woolbright Road apartments and U.S. 1 apartments - see floor plans (sheet A2.l5 and A2.l6)?
On the floor plan of the Woolbright Road apartments (sheet A2.l5), indicate the number of
bedrooms per unit and the unit size. It should correspond with sheet A3.04.
Provide a floor plan of the one (I)-story community club.
The landscape plan is incomplete in that it fails to identify the species of the proposed plant
material. The landscape plan needs to identify the species of each tree and row of shrubs. This
information must directly correspond to the plant list on sheet L-4.
A landscape barrier will be required along the west side of the mixed-use parking garage (Chapter
7.5, Article II, Section 2.B.3.). A landscape barrier is a near solid element intended to block all
direct and reasonable views to parked vehicles. The landscape barrier shall be consisting of shade
and palm trees that when planted, is tip-to-tip spacing in order to achieve a continuous visual
screen. Also, staff recommends installing additional palm trees at tip-to-tip spacing around each
side of this mixed-use parking garage.
A landscape barrier will be required to screen the at-grade parking and vehicular use areas
(proposed at the northern portion of the site) from the abutting commercial property to the north.
The removal/relocation of landscape material is subject to review and approval of the City
Forester / Environmentalist.
On the landscape plan, ensure that the plant quantities must match between the tabular data and
the graphic illustration. The landscape plan shall provide total plant material quantities for the
following categories: 1. Shade trees, 2. Palm trees, and 3. Shrubs / Groundcover.
Fifty percent (50%) of all site landscape materials must be native species (Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5.P). Please categorize as follows: Shade trees, Palm trees, and Shrubs & Groundcover.
A signature tree (such as a Yellow Elder, Tibouchina Granulsola, or Bouganvillea) is required at
both sides of the project entrances (along Federal Highway, Alden Road, Southeast 12th Avenue,
and Woolbright Road). The signature trees must have eight (8) feet of clear trunk if placed within
the safe-sight triangle (Chapter 7.5, Article 2, Section 5.N.). Alternative plant material may be
substituted if the above referenced plant material is not available or undesired. Any substitution
of plant material (for the signature tree requirement) will be subject to the City Forester /
Environmentalist review and approval.
All trees, if proposed as trees, must be at least 12 feet in height and three (3) caliper inches at the
time of their installation (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2.).
All shrubs and hedges are required to be at minimum 24 inches in height, 24 inches in spread, and
planted with tip-to-tip spacing measured immediately after planting to adequately cover the
planted areas on the site (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.CA.).
The palm trees proposed around the townhouse buildings must be installed at Y2 the building
height of the building (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section S.M.).
All outdoor dumpster and dumpster areas shall have accent shrubs placed along the sides
(Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.J.). Please revise landscape plans to include accent shrubs.
All freestanding monument signs shall have colorful groundcover installed at the base (Chapter
7.5, Article II, Section 5.0).
Landscaping at each project entrance shall contain a combination of colorful groundcover plants
and a minimum of two (2) colorful shrub species on both sides of the entrance (if sufficient space
is provided- Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.N.). Revise landscape plans so that they comply
with the above referenced code.
All proposed wall signage is subject to the Community Redevelopment Agency Board and City
Commission review and approval. Staff recommends that you submit a master sign program that
shows the number, location, dimensions, exterior finish, and color(s) of all signs (Chapter 2,
Section 5.H.9.). The sign program would address all types of signs, including commercial wall
signs, identification signs, residential subdivision signs, freestanding monument signs, canopy
signs, way-finding signs, directional signs, and all other signs as regulated by Chapter 21 of the
Land Development Regulations.
Provide a detail of a typical outdoor freestanding lighting fixture. The detail of the typical
freestanding outdoor lighting fixture should include the overall height, exterior finish, materials
used (i.e. concrete or aluminum) and color(s). The lighting fixture height, style, design, and
illumination level shall be compatible with the building design and height and shall consider
safety, function, and aesthetic value (Chapter 9, Section 1O.F.1.). The height of the lighting
fixtures should be the same throughout the entire commercial/mixed-use areas.
Lighting shall not be of an intensity that produces glare on adjacent property (Chapter 9, Section
10.F.2.).
Feature lighting emphasizing plants, trees, barriers, entrances, and exits is encouraged (Chapter 9,
Section 10.F.3.).
Lighting may be used to illuminate a building and its grounds for safety purposes and to enhance
its beauty. However, the visual effect shall be subtle (Chapter 9, Section 10.FA.).
Lighting shall not be used as a form of advertising in a manner that draws more attention to the
building or grounds at night than in the day (Chapter 9, Section 1O.F.5.).
Sculptures, fountains, gardens, pools, trellises an benches shall be encouraged within the site
design (Chapter 9, Section 10.H.). Provide details of said amenities.
Where will the residential mail-box kiosks occur for the townhouses and mixed-use buildings?
Provide locations for covered bike racks throughout the mixed-use portion of the site plan (sheet
C-l).
The subject site is located along Palm Tran Bus Route I. A bus stop should be shown on the site
plan (sheet C-l), in particular, along Federal Highway. Without consulting Palm Tran, staff
recommends that the stop be placed at least 300 feet away from the intersection of Federal
Highway and Woolbright Road. Staff also recommends that it be a substantial and attractive bus
stop, possibly constructed within the build-to area of the subject property.
Staff recommends installing the trees proposed along Federal Highway at half the height of the
adjacent mixed-use buildings.
Staff recommends installing additional trees (i.e. combination of Washingtonia and Travelers
palm trees) around the south and east facades of the two (2) residential towers. These trees
should be of substantial size (i.e. 20 feet) at the time of their installation to help soften the impact
of the 63-foot tall residential towers.
Staff recommends incorporating benches into the design of the public plaza proposed at the
southeast comer of the subject property.
Staff recommends similar roof styles for all buildings proposed throughout the development. For
example, if the townhouses have concrete tiles, then the S-tile roof of the residential towers
should be converted to have concrete tiles. The objective is to have unifying elements throughout
the entire development for all structures. This could be accomplished by utilizing the same
cornice work, decorative aluminum railings, rounded windows, building colors, archways, accent
tiles, medallions, and other architectural features into the design of all buildings.
Staff recommends creating a public space, just south of the southern residential tower. This
public space could be a small area to sit underneath a trellis or shade trees.
Staff recommends installing Medjool Date Palms or Canary Island Date palms into the center of
the round-a-bout.

CPTED Practitioner
SUBJECT: Gulfstream Lumber
REFERENCES: Site Plan
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the impact for services for the proposed site plan to be located on the North West comer of S
Federal Highway and Woolbright Road. (Gulfstream Lumber)
For the purpose of this study, a statistical analysis was completed to show the percentage of increase of police
calls for service for the selected project area. A crime analysis for 2004 shows that there have been 8,971 calls
for service for zone 4 and represents 13.3% of all total calls for service. There are no other existing
developments to use as a comparison for this assessment. It must be noted that this project is one of six mixed-
use projects planned for completion.
This project calls for 584 multi-family units, retail/office space and a restaurant. Two 6-level parking garages
are also planned as part of this project. The need for additional officers in Zone 4 is evident by the high
percentage of calls for service that one officer is currently handling. This future project along with Boynton
Lofts, the Marina project and future plans for the development of E. Ocean Ave. south to SE 5 A venue, will
have a direct impact on providing an adequate level of public service to this area. An additional officer will be
needed to support this increase in department services.
City wide, an increase of 15% of total calls for service can be expected due to proposed growth. Future
projects along the waterfront will increase local retail and office space and increase public traffic. These new
developments will have a direct impact on future public safety issues, to include calls for service. Service
requirements for the police department will be impacted greatly and the demand for more police personnel and
equipment will be needed to balance the increase in population and non residential traffic into our city.

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