PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject conditional use were mailed a notice of this request and its respective hearing dates. The applicant certifies that they posted signage and mailed notices in accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007. Proposal: Concurrency: Traffic: 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). Staff Report - Uptown Lofts at Boynton Place (NWSP 05-021) Memorandum No PZ 05-131 Page 3 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 Staff Report - Uptown Lofts at Boynton Place (NWSP 05-021) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Department of Public Works/Eng'ineering Division Memo No. 05-076 Re: Gulfstream Lumber New Site Plan - 1 sl Review June 8, 2005 Page 4 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. '" . Department of Public Works/Engineering Division Memo No. 05-076 Re: Gulfstream Lumber New Site Plan - 151 Review June 8, 2005 Page 5 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. Department of Public Works/Engin~ering Division Memo No. 05-076 Re: Gulfstream Lumber New Site Plan _1st Review June 8, 2005 Page 6 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.

Submit 12 sets of revised plans. Each set should be folded and stapled. At the technical advisory review team meeting, also provide a full set of reduced drawings, sized 8 Y2 inches by 11 inches of each plan. Save each plan to a compact disk and submit that to staff as well. Staff considers these plans to be at the final stage of site plan review, the last stage prior to permit review. As such, all comments need to be addressed and shown on the plans prior to the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) meeting. Any information not shown on the plans at the TART meeting would be required to be shown at the time of permitting. 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 Required Parkin 360 540 148 5 217 23 1,293 1,293 Provided Parkin 1,166 289 36 39 50 1,580 Net Difference I +287 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.

John Huntington Police Department 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.

Kemmer, Deputy Chief/Fire Marshal DATE: June 13, 2005 SUBJECT: NWSP 05-022 NWSP 05-007 NWSP 05-021 Schnars Business Center Chow Hut Gulfstream Lumber 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. ....
