Industrial (I) and zoned Planned Industrial Development (PID); to the
southwest, undeveloped property within unincorporated Palm Beach
County designated Industrial (IND) and zoned Single Family Residential
(RS).
East: The right-of-way of High Ridge Road, then, to the northeast, Cedar Ridge
Estates, with single family homes and town homes (townhomes built at
8.04 du/acre), designated Low Density Residential (LDR) and zoned
Planned Unit Development (PUD). To the southeast, High Ridge
Commerce Park, developed properties designated Industrial (I) and zoned
Planned Industrial Development (PID).
West: To the west, undeveloped property (High Ridge Country Club) designated
Low Density Residential (LDR) and zoned R1AA Single Family Residential.
BACKGROUND
Site Characteristic: On May 17, 2005, the City Commission annexed (ANEX 05-001) the subject site
per Ordinance 05-008 and rezoned the property to PUD (LUAR 05-002) per
Ordinance 05-010. According to the survey, the subject property is comprised of
several lots that contain horse stables, wood fencing, and a single-family home.
The property was previously used as an equestrian center. The subject site also
contains may different types of trees, both native and exotics. The species include
but are not limited to the following: Slash pine, Royal Poinciana, Magnolia, Orange,
Mango, Black Olive, Oak, Cabbage palm, Queen palm, and Areca palm. The
highest ground elevation is 23 feet above sea level, located near the halfway point
of the property along High Ridge Road. A four (4)-foot tall wooden fence exists
along the east property line and an eight (8)-foot tall chain link fence extends along
the west property line.
Proposal:
Mr. Tim Hernandez of New Urban Communities proposes to develop the subject
property with 48 single-family detached homes and 126 fee-simple townhomes.
Both single-family homes and town homes are permitted uses in the PUD zoning
district. The maximum density allowed by the High Density Residential (HDR) land
use classification is 10.8 dulac, which would provide the developer a maximum of
199 units. The project proposes 174 units (9.43 du I ac) and would be built in one
(1) phase. The project is a compact, high density, new urban development as
promoted by policy 1.13.4. and by policies under Objective 1.22. of the
Comprehensive Plan.
ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic:
On April 14, 2005, a traffic impact analysis was sent to the Palm Beach County
Traffic Division for concurrency review, in order to ensure an adequate level of
service. Trip generation would result in 1,363 new daily trips, 105 a.m. peak-hour
trips, and 128 p.m. peak-hour trips. The analysis concluded that the radius of
development influence was two (2) miles, which was based on the peak hour trips
Staff Report - New Urban High Ridge PUD (NWSP 05-016)
Memorandum No PZ 05-153

that would be generated. On April 27, 2005, the Palm Beach County Traffic
Division determined that the proposed residential development meets the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. According to the analysis, the Palm
Beach County and Florida Department of Transportation Five (5)-Year Road
Program do not include any widening projects in the vicinity of the site. According
to the land use amendment staff report (PZ Memo 05-024), High Ridge Road is
currently operating at a "B" level of service and would continue to do so after
project build-out.
Utilities: The project is expected to require 75,000 gallons of water per day. The City's
water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million gallons of
potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the projected
potable water needs for this project. 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 (see Exhibit "C" -
Conditions of Approval). The expected demand for sanitary sewer would be 34,000
gallons per day. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is
currently available to serve this project, subject to the applicant making a firm
reservation of capacity, following approval of the site plan.
Police/Fire: Police staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would
be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. The Fire Department
expects to be able to maintain an adequate level of service for the subject project
with current or anticipated staffing. Infrastructure requirements such as hydrants
and roadway would be addressed during plan reviews and the permitting process.
It must be noted however, that this project is located in an area that has
experienced significant growth this past year. Fire supports the project with the
understanding that Fire Station No.5 would be available when the buildings receive
their certificates of occupancy.
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is
recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time
of permit review. All South Florida Water Management District permits and other
drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit (see Exhibit
"C" - Conditions of Approval).
School: Regarding school concurrency, the proposed project lies within Concurrency Service
Areas (CSA) 17 and SAC 239. On January 7,2005, the Palm Beach County School
District approved the project for school concurrency purposes.
Driveways: The plans show that three (3) points of ingress / egress are proposed along High
Ridge Road. All openings are identical to each other in terms of width and function
and no driveway opening would be gated. This is a basic characteristic of new
urbanism type of developments.
The southernmost opening would be located approximately 650 feet from the
Staff Report - New Urban High Ridge PUD (NWSP 05-016)
Memorandum No PZ 05-153
Page 4
intersection of High Ridge Road and Miner Road. The entrance would directly align
with the recreation area. Parallel, on-street parking spaces are proposed on each
side of this entrance drive. The second of the three driveway openings, would be
located approximately 450 feet north of the southernmost opening. This opening
would align with the single-family detached homes proposed at the rear of the
development of the subject development and also with the entrance to Cedar Ridge
PUD on the opposite side of High Ridge Road. The northernmost driveway opening
is proposed approximately 170 feet south of the north property line. Similar to the
middle opening, this third driveway would align with the single-family homes
propose at the rear of the development. The presence of these three (3) driveway
openings allow for ample availability of emergency / service vehicle ingress and
egress.
The Typical section of High Ridge Road shows that the right-of-way is 65 feet in
width. It presently contains a northbound and southbound travel lane but as
required, would be improved to include a 12-foot wide center-turn lane. The east
side of High Ridge Road would have a four (4) foot wide paved shoulder, six (6)
feet of sod, and the existing six (6)-foot wide sidewalk. The west side however,
would have a two (2)-foot wide "F" curb / gutter and 11 feet of sod.
The Typical 50-foot wide section of the internal rights-of-way indicates that the
development would have two (2) travel lanes that are each 11 feet in width. The
development's parallel parking spaces would be nine (9) feet in width, followed by
an eight (8)-inch wide "D" curb and a four (4)-foot wide sidewalk.
The Typical 40-foot wide section of the internal rights-of-way indicates that the
development would have two (2) travel lanes that are each 11 feet in width.
However, in this scenario, the only difference between this section and the 50-foot
wide section is that parallel parking spaces have been omitted on one of the sides.
An important component to a new urban community is the employment of alleys
(subordinate street systems) throughout a development. The Typical 20-foot wide
section of the alleys show that the alleys, proposed within the single-family
detached area would have two (2) travel lanes, each being 10 feet in width.
However, the language in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2.5 Planned
Unit Developments, Section 9. Internal PUD standards. F. RIGHTS OF WAY, reads
as follows:
"F". RIGHT-OF-WAYS. The minimum width ofa right-of-way in a
PUD is forty (40) feet. In the event of a conflict with this section
and any other provisions of the City's Land Development
Regulations regulating the width of the right-of-ways, this section
shall prevail."
This requirement leaves no opportunities for one-way streets, service roads, or
common driveways of any lesser widths. The site plan proposes alleys that would
be 20 feet in width, which is less than the above-referenced 40-foot requirement.
These circulation elements are not permitted because of the restrictive language in
Staff Report - New Urban High Ridge PUD (NWSP 05-016)
Memorandum No PZ 05-153
Page 5
the PUD regulations. There is no similar problem with the Infill PUD regulations,
since language in those development standards permits narrower rights-of-way at
the discretion of the City Engineer. Staff is currently proposing changes to the Land
Development Regulations (CDRV 05-014) that would allow a right-of-way width of
less than 40 feet. Therefore, approval of this project is contingent upon the
approval of the revisions proposed to the above-referenced section of the Land
Development Regulations (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Parking Facility: Two, three, four, and five bedroom dwelling units require two (2) parking spaces
per unit. The project proposes 174 residential units and recreation area, therefore,
353 parking spaces would be required. The plans proVide 432 parking spaces with
the potential of providing an additional 48 spaces for a total of 480 parking spaces.
These additional spaces can be achieved because an undetermined number of
single-family homes have the 3-car garage model, as opposed to strictly just 2-car
garage models. The Typical Townhouse Detail shows that the townhouses would
have 1-car garages. However, it should be noted that the number of 3-car garage
models has not been finalized at this time and will not be finalized until the site plan
is approved. Therefore, staff utilized a more conservative approach at reporting the
parking statistics. The site plan tabular data indicates that 84 on-street parking
spaces are proposed throughout the development. The graphic shows that these
spaces would be dimensioned nine (9) feet in width by 25 feet in length.
Landscaping: The site plan tabular data indicates that 10.59 acres (57.,43%) of the subject
property would be pervious. This figure includes the 2. ll-acre lake tract. More
importantly, over 5.36 acres (29.08%) of the subject property would be set aside
for buffer and open space area. As previously mentioned, the subject site contains
a mix of native and non-native trees. The mitigation plan (sheet 18 of 18)
indicates that the property contains 220 trees, of which, 13 would be preserved.
The preserved tress would include 12 pines and one (1) oak. The developer would
have to mitigate up to 2,214 caliper inches. The Overall Landscape Quantities
plant list indicates that 186 or 92% of the canopy trees would be native and 65 or
58.56% of the palm trees would be native. Likewise, a total of 74.13% of the
shrubs I groundcover would be native. The plant list includes the following
species: Red Maple, Bougainvillea, Gumbo Limbo, Silver Buttonwood, Seagrape,
Dahoon Holly, Ligustrum Tree form, Live Oak, Bald Cypress, Bald Cypress Glory
Bush, European Fan palm, Coconut palm, Alexander palm, Medjool palm, Florida
Royal palm, and Cabbage palm trees.
The plans proposed landscape buffers around the entire development. A note on
the site plan indicates all exotic and nuisance vegetation shall be removed from the
site and from within native buffer areas. Native vegetation within the buffer shall
be preserved to the maximum extent possible. The east (front) landscape buffer
along High Ridge Road would be eight (8) feet at its narrowest point but a majority
of it would be 10 feet in width. The plant species proposed within this green space
would include the following: the relocated Oaks, Coconut palms, Bougainvillea,
Seagrape, Ligustrum, Dwarf Yaupon Holly, Dwarf Variegated Schefflera, Redtip
Cocoplum, Crown of Thorns, and Croton. The length of this perimeter buffer is
1,731 feet in length and would require 58 trees. The plan proposes 59 trees.
Staff Report - New Urban High Ridge PUD (NWSP 05-016)
Memorandum No PZ 05-153
Page 6
However, within the east and south perimeter buffers, staff recommends reducing
the spacing between each tree to one (1) tree per 20 linear feet (see Exhibit "C"-
Conditions of Approval). The south landscaped "common" area adjacent to Miner
Road would be 15 feet in width. This perimeter would be 459 linear feet. It would
have similar plant material as proposed within the east landscaped area. The west
landscape buffer would be five (5) feet in width. This is the buffer where a
majority of the existing trees would be preserved. The west perimeter buffer
would be 1,745 linear feet and would require 56 trees. The landscape plan
proposes 79 trees. The plant material within this buffer would also include the
following species: Relocated and additional Coconut palms, Silver Buttonwood,
Gumbo Limbo, and Crepe Jasmine. The north landscape buffer would be 398 linear
feet and seven (7) feet in width. It would require 13 trees and 13 trees are
provided. It would contain similar plant material as the other perimeter buffers.
Varying planting schemes are proposed for the individual lots. The scheme would
be dependent upon the style of the single-family house proposed on each lot or the
style of the townhouse building. Each Typical Unit Landscape Plan indicates that
each lot would have a multitude of plant material. A note on the site plan indicates
that all air conditioner units and similar mechanical equipment shall be screened
with landscaping which will achieve a height of 36 inches. When adequate room
for landscaping does not exist, a 36-inch high masonry screen wall will be provided.
Also, on the Typical Landscape Plan for the single-family homes, a note indicates
that no landscaping would be planted within three (3) feet of the rear alley. The
Engineering Division is requiring five (5) feet (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of
Approval). Regardless, the plant material proposed adjacent to the alley shall be
clear (vertically) as to not interfere with service vehicles (garbage trucks) traversing
the alleys.
The landscape plan shows that there are trees proposed outside the property line,
along High Ridge Road and Miner Road. The trees would require the Engineering
Division review and approval. Regardless, they cannot be used within the
landscape plan as counting towards meeting the minimum required number of
trees (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Building and Site: As previously mentioned, the maximum density allowed by the High Density
Residential (HDR) land use classification is 10.8 dwelling units per acre, which
translates to a maximum of 199 units. The site plan proposes a total of 174 units,
which is a density of 9.43 dwelling units per acre. The site plan tabular data
indicates that collectively, the lots would account for 9.72 acres or 52.72% of the
entire property. The private rights-of-way would account for 5.50 acres or 29.82%
of the site. The development's recreation area would account for 1.73% of the
site. This 0.32-acre recreation area would accommodate a swimming pool, a 1,409
square foot cabana / veranda facility, and a tot-lot. The recreation area would be
located adjacent to the site's lake / water management area. The project,
designed with new urban design characteristics, proposes homeowner accessibility
to the lake by all, so that it functions as a public amenity rather than a private
amenity enjoyed by few residents.

The Typical Lot Details of the single-family homes shows two (2) different types of
lots are proposed, namely a 40-foot wide and a 50-foot wide lot. The Detail
indicates that screen enclosures and pools would be permitted within the building
setbacks of the house. Solid roof enclosures are prohibited. The Detail shows that
all single-family detached lots would be 110 feet in depth. On both Details, the
houses would be setback 15 feet from the front property line and the 2nd-story
front balconies would be setback seven and one-half (7- V2) feet from the front
property line. The Detail also shows the house would be setback five (5) feet from
the rear and side lot lines. The smaller building setbacks, as proposed, are
generally smaller than conventional PUD type of projects but they are common
among New Urban type of developments. The Typical Townhouse Detail shows
that the buildings would be setback five (5) feet from the edge of pavement (along
the sides), 10 feet from the front lot line at ground level. The 2nd-story balcony
would be setback four (4) feet from the front property line. A 2nd-story balcony is
also proposed at the rear of each unit; it would be setback five (5) feet from the
rear lot line. The plans propose a 20-foot wide building separation (at the sides)
and 14 feet between 2nd story balconies.
The size of the townhouse units varies between 1,615 square for the smallest unit
to 1,940 square feet for the largest unit. They would come in either two (2) or
three (3) bedroom model options. The single-family detached homes would come
in numerous varieties. The smallest unit would be 2,097 square feet while the
largest would be 3,964 square feet in area. It should be noted that a number of
units have habitable space above the detached garage. These spaces are not
considered individual units and do not count toward density.
Design:
The City has reviewed and approved many different residential projects over the
past several years (i.e. Anderson PUD, Serrano PUD, Knollwood PUD, and Boynton
Dixie) and most have been developed as conventional, suburban-style types of
subdivisions. With the exception of Anderson and Serrano, most of the newer
projects have been townhouse developments. Associated with the proposed type
of single-family residential development are a wide variety of pOSSible building
designs (i.e. contemporary, traditional, Spanish-Mediterranean, etc.). This is a
New Urbanism type of project with hints of the aforementioned architectural styles.
All townhouse buildings would be three (3) stories. The elevations show that the
buildings would be 35 feet - three (3) inches tall (mean roof height) and 40 feet-
three (3) inches at the peak of the roof. The single-family detached homes would
be two (2) stories tall and have varying roof styles. The tallest single-family
detached home would be 27 feet - six (6) inches tall at the mean roof height and
32 feet - three (3) inches tall at peak of roof.
The elevations of the townhouses show that the exterior finish of the walls would
be medium textured cementitous finish. All trim would be painted bright white and
all front doors would be painted mahogany. The applicant is proposing a variety of
colors schemes. The Benjamin Moore paints are as follows:
Staff Report - New Urban High Ridge PUD (NWSP 05-016)
Memorandum No PZ 05-153
Page 8
Scheme Color Paint
1 Tan Crisp Straw #2157-50
2 Yellow Mellow Yellow #2020-50
3 Orange Peach Sorbet #2015-40
4 Blue Clearest Ocean Blue #2064-40
5 Green Eccentric Lime: #2027-30
The single-family homes would come in numerous varieties of wall and accent
colors. There are eight (8) different color schemes and each scheme has two (2)
or three (3) varying options. The color palette proposed contains a combination of
light or white pastels, and dark, unmuted primary/secondary colors. Staff supports
use of the soft color palette, particular as they are light earth tones to match
existing natural vegetation in the corridor. However, staff opposes use of highly
saturated and primary colors for this project. Such colors are inconsistent with
both existing improvements in the corridor as well as incompatible with the existing
natural environment in this area which consists of many mature trees and natural
scrub areas and preserves. The bold colors are more typical of the Caribbean
settings or other waterfront environments, and should be changed to soft earth
tones to compliment the general area rather than just the project (see Exhibit "Cft-
Conditions of Approval).
Signage:
Project development signs are proposed on small posts labeled "10 columns".
These posts would be located on each side of the entrance drives. The sign detail
shows that the column would be four (4) feet - two (2) inches in height. The base
of the post and its decorative caps would be a smooth textured cementitious stucco
base, painted white. The greater surface of the post would be a medium textured
stucco finish over CBS and painted yellow (Mellow Yellow BM 2020-50). Its colors
would be consistent with the building colors proposed throughout the community.
The sign face would be located in the center of the post.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for new site plan approval and recommends approval, contingent upon the
adoption of the changes proposed to the Land Development Regulations (CDRV 05-014) related to widths
of rights-of-way in Planned Unit Developments (PUD), and also subject to satisfying all comments
indicated in Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or
City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

and sewer systems serving this proiect (CODE, Section 26-12).
13. 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)).
14. 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.
15. 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

constructed for this project. If the applicant desires, there is a lift station
approximately Yz mile north of this project (south terminus of NW 7th Ct. -
Lift Station 717) or another approximately v.. mile east of the intersection of
High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. (Lift Station 718.) Also available are gravity
systems in the Commerce Rd. right-of-way and within the Cedar Ridge
subdivision. The invert elevation at Lift Sta. 717 is 1.19. By upsizing to a
10-in. main and using a 0.3% slope it is possible to tie into Lift Sta. 717.
Credit for oversizing the main may be available. A copy of the as-builts for
Lift Sta. 717 has been given to the applicant. Should the developer propose
to build their own lift station for this project, they would have to submit an
analysis indicating that the life cycle cost (capital and O&M) would be
cheaper for the system with a new lift station than it would be for connecting
to the existing stations. This analysis can be conducted based upon "present-

new comments for High Ridge
The ends of those townhouse buildings directly visible from High Ridge Road and Miner Road, should be enhanced with
features similar to the front facades using elements such as balconies, individual roof features, porches, varying surface
materials and colors, etc.). Those units would include #1, #17, #40, #84, #96, #139, #147, #169, and #174.
Indicate on the plans the proposed locations of the townhouse buildings by type (not unit type). Two building designs are
proposed but not located on the site. Placement of the two building design types should maintain compatibility in the
project.

text for colors for High Ridge
report text ~ ~
! The color palatte proposed contains a combination of light or white pastels, and dark, unmuted primary/secondary colors.
Staff supports use of the soft color pallette, particular as they are light earth tones to match existing natural vegetation in
the corridor. However, staff opposes use of highly saturated and primary colors for this project. Such colors are
. inconsistent with both existing improvements in the corridor as well as incompatible with the existing natural environment
in this area which consists of many mature trees and natural scrub areas and preserves. The bold colors are more typical
\ of the Caribbean settings or other waterfront environments, and should be changed to soft earth tones to compliment the
\. general area rather than just the project.

Color swatches are to be provided for all proposed colors. Those unmuted colors proposed, typical of the Caribbean or

Here's the final language for the Conditions of Approval on the above project we've been batting around:
Replacing Comments #2 and #6 of the 3rd Review Comments, and to be shown under Engineering.
The minimum right-of-way width for a PUD is 40-feet. (LDR, Chapter 2.5, Section 9.F.) The applicant is proposing a
traditional neighborhood design and is desirous of utilizing a proposed Code Change, currently in process, to allow for
lesser right-of-way widths for portions of the project. Internal roadways will be categorized as "Primary" and "Secondary"
based on their functions. Primary roadways will handle internal flow, guests, deliveries and Fire/Rescue access.
Secondary roadways will be utilized for homeowner access to the rear loaded parking and will additionally be used for
Solid Waste Access.
Primary internal roadways shall have no less than 40-ft. right-of-way widths, but may use 11-ft. lanes widths. Secondary
internal roadways shall have no less than 20-ft. right-of-way widths and may use 10-ft. lane widths. The applicant shall
provide, through homeowners documents, an additional buffer area of no less than 5-ft., adjacent to both sides of the
proposed right-of-way to allow for Solid Waste storage and pickup. The buffer area shall be kept free of all obstructions,
including fencing and landscaping, for this purpose.
Primary access roadways connecting to High Ridge Road will conform with all Land Development Regulations and City
Standards.
The above Condition of Approval is contingent upon Commission approval of the proposed changes to Chapter 2.5 of the
LDR. In the event Commission does not approve the Developer shall be required to provide roadways and rights-of-way in
accordance with the LDR and City Standards or may seek a variance, in accordance with the procedure established in the
LDR.
New Comment
In order to accommodate a roadway typical section within the proposed 20-ft. secondary roadway (if approved) the
engineer shall construct two - 9 1/2-ft. lanes with 6-in. concrete header curb on each side of the roadway. Asphalt paving,
lime/shell rock and stabilized subgrade in accordance with City Standards shall be completely contained within the header
curb.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these comments. Thanks for your patience.

For planning purposes only, the expected demands are as follows:
Potable water= 75,000 gallons per day
Sewer = 34,000 gallons per day.
We currently have sufficient reserve capacity, either installed or under contract, to meet the demands of this proposed site
plan. Your statement is therefore correct.

Please furnish me the particulars on this project, including no. of units and type.
If I recall, this was the project that did not want to extend the gravity sewer to their site, but instead wanted to build
another pump station. Where are we on that issue?

Pete,
I'm working on the staff report for the above referenced site plan application. As such, I have to report on
concurrency regarding potable water and sanitary sewer. Please confirm the following is correct. Thanks,
Eric
1
The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million gallons of
potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the
projected potable water needs for this project. 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 (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is currently
available to serve this project, subject to the applicant making a firm
reservation of capacity, following approval of the site plan.

Comments:
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742- /
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section
10-26 (a).
2. The provided site plan does not allow for Solid Waste service as currently
proposed. Automated pickup is from the right (passenger) side of the vehicle.
Additionally, multiple dead-end sections throughout the multi-family portion {/
create unsafe backing situations for solid waste vehicles as currently
designed. Only the width of secondary roadways (alleys) may be allowed to
be designed with 20 feet of pavement. All primary roadways shall be
designed with a minimum of 22 feet of pavement. Sufficient turning radii (55
feet) must be provided at all intersections to permit turning movements by
Solid Waste / emergency / delivery trucks. Please note that alleys (less than
40 feet in width) are not permitted in residential areas unless a variance or
code amendment is approved. Provide locations for garage pickup that meets
the specified automated collection criteria.
3. Provide a minimum 55-foot outside turning radius for solid waste (and Fire- V
Rescue) vehicles at all intersections. Multiple locations within the internal
roadways still do not meet this criterion without utilizing the opposite lane for
the turning maneuver.
PUBLIC WORKS - Traffic
Comments:
4. On the Site and Civil plans, show and identify all necessary traffic control
devices such as stop bars, stop signs, double yellow lane separators striping, /
directional arrows and "Do Not Enter" signage, etc. See City Standard
Drawings "K" Series for striping details. Add a stop sign and stop bar at the
east end of the east-west roadway in the southeast comer of the development.
Add stop signs and stop bars at the north and south ends of the north-south
roadway north of the lake. Painted directional arrows are not necessary on the
roadways. Show locations of pedestrian crossing signs.
5. Staff strongly discourages on-street parking along High Ridge Rd. and Miner L/
Rd. due to their functional classification (Urban Collector) and the volumes
and types of traffic they carry. The applicant may petition the County for
permission to utilize on-street parking. If allowed by the County, provide

Based upon our meeting on Monday August r., we are submitting a
separate letter requesting administrative waivers to the following:
· A waiver to Chapter 2.5, Section 9.F. to reduce the rights-of-way
widths for the secondary roadways from 40' to 20'. (A City initiated
amendment to the Land Development Regulations is currently being
processed, which proposes a waiver to reduce the required right-of-
way width rather than the current variance process. The requested
waiver is in anticipation of City Commission approval of the
proposed amendment to the Land Development Regulations.)
· A waiver to LDR Chapter 6, Article III, Section 1, to reduce the
pavements widths of the secondary roadways from the minimum
required lane widths from 11' to 10' (22' to 20' overall width).
· A waiver to City Standards K-1 to reduce the required 9.5' X 25'
parallel parking space to 9' in width.
· A waiver to allow the back edge of the sidewalk to abut the right-of-
way line/property line, thus eliminating the 10" separation.
· A waiver to allow the turning radius to be reduced from 55' to 50'.
Within the townhouse portion of the development, the secondary
roadways will be asphalt and 20' wide. In addition, on both sides of the
roadways, a header will be provided alon~ with a 2' paver block strip (on

private property) consistent with the material of the driveways which wiD
differentiate the 20' roadways while providing, in essence, a 24' wide
travel lane. These 2' paver areas will be located within 5' utility
easements that will run parallel to the 20' roadways. Landscaping within
the easements will be limited to groundcovers.
In the single family portion of the development, the secondary roadways
will also be 20' wide as there are significantly less single family units
generating a minimal number of vehicular trips per day. As agreed, the
20' width would be acceptable provided that within the Homeowner's
Association documents there will be a provision that the trash and trash
receptacles shaD not be placed within the roadways and that they be
placed on the individual's property. Also, the documents will also contain
a provision designating a 3' wide restricted planting area on each
property which will run parallel to the 20' roadway. There will be a
statement that plant materials must not be maintained at a height greater
than 3'. Fences and other site visibility obstructions shall not be located in
the 3' area.
3. Provide a minimum 55-foot outside turning radius for solid waste (and Fire-
Rescue) vehicles at all intersections. Multiple locations within the internal
roadways still do not meet this criterion without utilizing the opposite lane for
the turning maneuver.
As indicated in #2 above, we are requestin~ a waiver to 50'.

Comments:
4. On the Site and Civil plans, show and identify all necessary traffic control
devices such as stop bars, stop signs, double yellow lane separators striping,
directional arrows and "Do Not Enter" signage, etc. See City Standard
Drawings "K" Series for striping details. Add a stop sign and stop bar at the
east end of the east-west roadway in the southeast comer of the development.
Add stop signs and stop bars at the north and south ends of the north-south
roadway north of the lake. Painted directional arrows are not necessary on the
roadways. Show locations of pedestrian crossing signs.
All traffic control devices are indicated on the site and civil plans and
pedestrian crossings are also shown. At the east end of the east-west
secondary roadway at the southeast comer of the development, a stop
sign and stop bar have been added. At the north and south ends of the
north-south secondary roadway north of the lake, stop signs and stop
bars have been added.
5. Staff strongly discourages on-street parking along High Ridge Rd. and Miner
Rd. due to their functional classification (Urban Collector) and the volumes
and types of traffic they carry. The applicant may petition the County for

41. The City of Boynton Beach does not wish to have another lift station
constructed for this project. If the applicant desires, there is a lift station
approximately 12 mile north of this project (south terminus of NW 7th Ct. -
Lift Station 717) or another approximately ~ mile east of the intersection of
High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. (Lift Station 718.) Also available are gravity
systems in the Commerce Rd. right-of-way and within the Cedar Ridge
subdivision. The invert elevation at Lift Sta. 717 is 1.19. By upsizing to a
lO-in. main and using a 0.3% slope it is possible to tie into Lift Sta. 717.
Credit for oversizing the main may be available. A copy of the as-builts for
Lift Sta. 717 has been attached.
Our engineer is scheduled to meet with the City's utility engineering staff
to resolve this issue. The applicant does not desire to build an additional
lift station if the project can be served by existing lift stations. Our
engineer and the City's utility engineering staff will determine if the
project can be served by existing lift stations. We understand that
resolution of this item can occur after TART approval of the site plan.
42. Should the engineers propose to build their own lift station for this project,
they would have to submit an analysis indicating that the life cycle cost
(capital and O&M) would be cheaper for the system with a new lift station
than it would be for connecting to the existing stations. This analysis can be
conducted based upon "present-worth" of the two alternatives, with an
expected 40-year life on the stations.
As stated in #42, our engineer is scheduled to meet with the City's utility
engineering staff to determine if the project can be served by existing lift
stations. We understand that resolution of this item can occur after
TART approval of the site plan.

67. According to the Land Development Regulations, alleys and other secondary
roadways are considered to be rights-of-way. In a Planned Unit
Development, the minimum width of a right-of-way is 40 feet. Approval of a
variance or an amendment to the Land Development Regulations would be
required in order to allow the alleys to be less than 40 feet in width.
At our August 1st meeting, staff agreed that we would provide a 20' wide
right-of-way for the secondary roads with 5' wide easements on each
side of the roads in the townhouse section of the development and
restrictions on plantin2s .
68. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the new site plan is publicly
advertised in accordance with Ordinance 04-007. OK.
69. A unity of title may be required. The Building Division of the Department of
Development will determine its applicability.
We do not believe such a requirement is necessary, since the project is
fee simple. The unity would have to be released for us to convey title to
each lot purchaser. If desired, we could execute a Unity of Title that
will be released by the City upon recordation of the plat.
70. At the next TART meeting, provide an itemized parking matrix as discussed
at the previous meeting. Itemize the number of proposed parking spaces as
follows: Garage Spaces, On-street parking spaces (within the development),

and do not affect density.
73. The traffic impact analysis must be approved by the Pahn Beach County
Traffic Division for concurrency purposes prior to the issuance of any
building pennits. Understood.
74. The project must obtain approval from the School District of Palm Beach
County regarding school concurrency prior to the issuance of a building

75. As discussed at the last TART meeting, if screened-enclosures are permitted
within the building setbacks, what will they look like? Provide a detail of a
typical screened-enclosure at the next TART meeting.
The homes are courtyard style; therefore there cannot be screen
enclosures at the rear of the homes. The builder will not offer screen
enclosures as a standard of optional feature. However, the courtyards
could conceivably be screened by the homeowner at a later date. If a
homeowner chooses to screen in their courtyard, they would have to
comply with the applicable requirement and obtain approval from then
HOA.

Following is my proposed Condition of Approval for the above project based on our meeting with the developer on 8/01/05
and the subsequent TART meeting held 8/09/05.
Replacing Comments #2 and #6 of the 3rd Review Comments, and to be shown under Engineering.
The minimum right-of-way width for a PUD is 40-feet. (LDR, Chapter 2.5, Section 9.F.) The applicant is proposing a
traditional neighborhood design and is desirous of utilizing a proposed Code Change, currently in process, to allow for
lesser right-of-way widths for portions of the project. Internal roadways will be categorized as "Primary" and "Secondary"
based on their functions. Primary roadways will handle internal flow, guests, deliveries and Fire/Rescue access.
Secondary roadways will be utilized for homeowner access to the rear loaded parking and will additionally be used for
Solid Waste Access.
Primary internal roadways shall have no less than 40-ft. right-of-way widths, but may use 11-ft. lanes widths. Secondary
internal roadways shall have no less than 20-ft. right-of-way widths and may use 10-ft. lane widths. The applicant shall
provide, through homeowners documents, an additional buffer area of no less than 5-ft., adjacent to both sides of the
proposed right-of-way to allow for Solid Waste storage and pickup. The buffer area shall be kept free of all obstructions,
including fencing and landscaping, for this purpose.
Primary access roadways connecting to High Ridge Road will conform with all Land Development Regulations and City
Standards.
The above Condition of Approval is contingent upon Commission approval of the proposed changes to Chapter 2.5 of the
LDR. In the event Commission does not approve the Developer shall be required to provide roadways and rights-of-way in
accordance with the LDR and City Standards or may seek a variance, in accordance with the procedure established in the
LDR.
I do have some minor revisions to the 3rd Review Comments from the 8/09/05 TART meeting. Also, the applicant has
submitted an Administrative Waiver request to certain engineering standards which will be addressed as this project
continues through the review process with P&D and the Commission.
Please let me know if you have questions, comments, concerns at your earliest convenience. I have told P&Z I would
have my proposed changes by the end of the week.
Thanks!!

PUBLIC WORKS - General
Comments:
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section
10-26 (a). We agree to do this.
2. The provided site plan does not allow for Solid Waste service as currently
proposed. Automated pickup is from the right (passenger) side of the vehicle.
Additionally, multiple dead-end sections throughout the multi-family portion
create unsafe backing situations for solid waste vehicles as currently
designed. Only the width of secondary roadways (alleys) may be allowed to
be designed with 20 feet of pavement. All primary roadways shall be
designed with a minimum of22 feet of pavement. Sufficient turning radii (55
feet) must be provided at all intersections to permit turning movements by
Solid Waste / emergency / delivery trucks. Please note that alleys (less than
40 feet in width) are not permitted in residential areas unless a variance or
code amendment is approved. Provide locations for garage pickup that meets
the specified automated collection criteria.
Based upon our meeting on Monday August 1 st, we are submitting a
separate letter requesting administrative waivers to the following:
· A waiver to Chapter 2.5, Section 9.F. to reduce the rights-of-way
widths for the secondary roadways from 40' to 20'. (A City initiated
amendment to the Land Development Regulations is currently being
processed, which proposes a waiver to reduce the required right-of-
way width rather than the current variance process. The requested
waiver is in anticipation of City Commission approval of the
proposed amendment to the Land Development Regulations.)
· A waiver to LDR Chapter 6, Article III, Section 1, to reduce the
pavements widths of the secondary roadways from the minimum
required lane widths from 11' to 10' (22' to 20' overall width).
· A waiver to City Standards K-1 to reduce the required 9.5' X 25'
parallel parking space to 9' in width.
· A waiver to allow the back edge of the sidewalk to abut the right-of-
way line/property line, thus eliminating the 10" separation.
· A waiver to allow the turning radius to be reduced from 55' to 50'.
Within the townhouse portion of the development, the secondary
roadways will be asphalt and 20' wide. In addition, on both sides of the
roadways, a header will be provided alon2 with a 2' paver block strip (on

private property) consistent with the material of the driveways which will
differentiate the 20' roadways while providing, in essence, a 24' wide
travel lane. These 2' paver areas will be located within 5' utility
easemeuts that will run parallel to the 20' roadways. Landscaping within
the easements will be limited to groundcovers.
In the single family portion of the development, the secondary roadways
will also be 20' wide as there are significantly less single family units
generating a minimal number of vehicular trips per day. As agreed, the
20' width would be acceptable provided that within the Homeowner's
Association documents there will be a provision that the trash and trash
receptacles shall not be placed within the roadways and that they be
placed on the individual's property. Also, the documents will also contain
a provision designating a 3' wide restricted planting area on each
property which will run parallel to the 20' roadway. There will be a
statement that plant materials must not be maintained at a height greater
than 3'. Fences and other site visibility obstructions shall not be located in
the 3' area.
3. Provide a minimum 55-foot outside turning radius for solid waste (and Fire-
Rescue) vehicles at all intersections. Multiple locations within the internal
roadways still do not meet this criterion without utilizing the opposite lane for
the turning maneuver.
As indicated in #2 above, we are requestin2 a waiver to 50'.

obtain County approval to provide the on-street parallel spaces High
Ridge and Minor Roads, the plans will be revised accordingly to include
the on-street parkin~.
6. The minimum right-of-way width for a PUD is 40-feet. (LDR, Chapter 2.5,
Section 9.F.) "Alleys" are not permitted in residential developments (LDR,
Chapter 6, Article III, Section 1.) The applicant's response indicated that
alleys were used at Renaissance Commons - they were not. All roadways
have minimum I I-foot lanes and a 40-foot private right-of-way width. Please
note that alleys (less than 40 feet in width) are not permitted in residential
areas unless a variance or code amendment is approved.
A waiver request to Chapter 6, Article III, Section 1 has been submitted,
to reduce the pavements widths of the secondary roadways from the
minimum required lane widths from 11' to 10' (22' to 20' overall width).
A waiver to LDR Chapter 2.5, Section 9.F. has also been requested to
reduce the rights-of-way widths for the secondary roadways from 40' to
20'. (Please refer to Public Works -Comment #2 for justification).
7. Minimum lanes of 1 I-feet in width shall be provided within the proposed
development and shall be a minimum of 12- ft. at all major ingress/egress

constructed for this project. If the applicant desires, there is a lift station
approximately lf2 mile north of this project (south terminus of NW 7th Ct. -
Lift Station 717) or another approximately y.; mile east of the intersection of
High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. (Lift Station 718.) Also available are gravity
systems in the Commerce Rd. right-of-way and within the Cedar Ridge
subdivision. The invert elevation at Lift Sta. 717 is 1.19. By upsizing to a
10-in. main and using a 0.3% slope it is possible to tie into Lift Sta. 717.
Credit for oversizing the main may be available. A copy of the as-builts for
Lift Sta. 717 has been attached.
Our engineer is scheduled to meet with the City's utility engineering staff
to resolve this issue. The applicant does not desire to build an additional
lift station if the project can be served by existing lift stations. Our
engineer and the City's utility engineering staff will determine if the
project can be served by existing lift stations. We understand that
resolution of this item can occur after TART approval of the site plan.
42. Should the engineers propose to build their own lift station for this project,
they would have to submit an analysis indicating that the life cycle cost
(capital and O&M) would be cheaper for the system with a new lift station
than it would be for connecting to the existing stations. This analysis can be
conducted based upon "present-worth" of the two alternatives, with an
expected 40-year life on the stations.
As stated in #42, our engineer is scheduled to meet with the City's utility
engineering staff to determine if the project can be served by existing lift
stations. We understand that resolution of this item can occur after
TART approval of the site plan.

plans. Each set should be folded and stapled. This has been done.
66. At the TART meeting, also provide a full set of reduced drawings, sized 8'i1
inches by 11 inches of each plan. Save each plan to a compact disk and
submit that to staff as well. OK.
67. According to the Land Development Regulations, alleys and other secondary
roadways are considered to be rights-of-way. In a Planned Unit
Development, the minimum width of a right-of-way is 40 feet. Approval of a
variance or an amendment to the Land Development Regulations would be
required in order to allow the alleys to be less than 40 feet in width.
At our August 1 sl meeting, staff agreed that we would provide a 20' wide
right-of-way for the secondary roads with 5' wide easements on each
side of the roads in the townhouse section of the development and
restrictions on plantings .
68. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the new site plan is publicly
advertised in accordance with Ordinance 04-007. OK.
69. A unity of title may be required. The Building Division of the Department of
Development will determine its applicability.
We do not believe such a requirement is necessary, since the project is
fee simple. The unity would have to be released for us to convey title to
each lot purchaser. If desired, we could execute a Unity of Title that
will be released by the City upon recordation of the plat.
70. At the next TART meeting, provide an itemized parking matrix as discussed
at the previous meeting. Itemize the number of proposed parking spaces as
follows: Garage Spaces, On-street parking spaces (within the development),
On-street parking spaces on Miner Road, and On-street parking spaces on
High Ridge Road.
The itemized parking matrix has been provided on the plans.
71. On the master plan (sheet 1 of 6), with a dashed line, show the limits of the
2nd story porches proposed on the sides of the townhouse buildings; or is this
already shown in the typical Multi-family Setback matrix?
The balconies are shown on the plans and encroach into side yard
setbacks. We request that this encroachment be accepted.
72. Were the accessory units (proposed above the garages of the single-family
neighborhood) counted as separate units, which in turn would affect the
project density? Accessory units are only permitted in the Mixed Use-Low
zoning district. If not proposed as accessory units, then eliminate the ovens

from the floor plans.
The accessory/guest units are not separate dwelling units, will not have
ranges, and are not rentable. Therefore they are not considered units
and do not affect density.
73. The traffic impact analysis must be approved by the Palm Beach County
Traffic Division for concurrency purposes prior to the issuance of any
building permits. Understood.
74. 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 of their approval prior to the
Planning & Development Board meeting.
This information has been provided; however we will provide another
copy of the letter from the School District is attached.
75. As discussed at the last TART meeting, if screened-enclosures are permitted
within the building setbacks, what will they look like? Provide a detail of a
typical screened-enclosure at the next TART meeting.
The homes are courtyard style; therefore there cannot be screen
enclosures at the rear of the homes. The builder will not offer screen
enclosures as a standard of optional feature. However, the courtyards
could conceivably be screened by the homeowner at a later date. If a
homeowner chooses to screen in their courtyard, they would have to
comply with the applicable requirement and obtain approval from then
HOA.
76. The elevation pages of the clubhouse should include the exterior finish, paint
manufacturer's name, and color codes. (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
The requested information is provided.
77. Indicate the mean roof height on sheet PR-AG-A22, A.803a, and A.800a

Gentlemen,
I am currently working on the staff report for the above referenced site plan, which is scheduled for the 8/23 P&D Board.
The subject property is 18.44 acres and located at the northwest corner of High Ridge Road and Miner Road. The plan
proposes 174 dwelling units. As directed by the City Manager, we have to report on the level of services for Police and
Fire.
Please confirm the following is accurate. A simple "Yes" or "No" will be sufficient.
Thanks,
Eric Johnson
Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be sufficient to meet the
expected demand for services.

Subject: Public Noticing requirements
Gabrielle,
Good morning. As you know, the New Urban High Ridge project is all set for
August 23, 2005 Planning & Development Board meeting. As such, neighboring
property owners within a 400-foot radius will need notification per
Ordinance 04-007. The code requires 10 days notification prior to the
hearing. The responsibility of noticing is the applicant's. As a courtesy,
we can provide you with basic information, but nonetheless, the applicant is
required to comply with the ordinance.
How are you coming along with the noticing? Have you gone to the property
appraisers office? Have you gone to a sign company? Please say yes. If
you have any questions, you may contact Sherie Coale at 561-742-6260 and she
can help you.
Not trying to be nitpicky, just want to make sure your project goes
smoothly, that's all. Take care,
Eric Johnson, AICP

2. The provided site plan does not allow for Solid Waste service as currently
proposed. Automated pickup is from the right (passenger) side of the vehicle.
Additionally, multiple dead-end sections throughout the multi-family portion
create unsafe backing situations for solid waste vehicles as currently

If there was a second written response from the County, it is not in the file; however, you may rest assured that if
there had been any objections or requirements of traffic improvements by the County, their satisfaction would
have been a condition of approval of the land use amendment and rezoning.

Dick, I received your fax copy of the letter issued on November 10, 2004 by the County. However, there was a
new traffic study submitted by Hanna to the County this spring. I just want to make sure this letter satisfies the
City of Boynton Beach since it was written well before the revised traffic study was sent to the County.
I don't want to make things more complicated, I just want to make sure this item is satisfied and not coming back
into play later on.
Thank you.

1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section
10-26 (a).
2. The provided site plan does not allow for Solid Waste service. Automated
pickup is from the right (passenger) side of the vehicle. 'Fhe eRe v<'Uy

family portion create unsafe backing situations for solid waste vehicles.
Although the roadways have been made two-way they continue to be
deficient in width and insufficient turning radii have been provided at
intersections to permit turning movements by Solid Waste trucks.
3. Provide a minimum 55-foot outside turning radius for solid waste (and Fire-
Rescue) vehicles at all intersections. Multiple locations within the
internal roadways still do not meet this criteria without utilizing the
opposite lane for the turning maneuver.

at the east end of the east-west roadway in the southeast corner of the
development. Add stop signs and stop bars at the north and south ends
of the north-south roadway north of the lake. Painted directional
arrows are not necessary on the roadways. Show locations of
pedestrian crossing signs.
5. Staff strongly discourages on-street parking along High Ridge Rd. and

Plan Sheet) so that we may determine which appurtenances, trees or
shrubbery may interfere with utilities. As an example, Landscape Plan sheet
4 of 6 indicates Live Oak, Red Maple and Dahoon Holly trees on top of
proposed wastewater, force main, and water main to the east of the proposed
lift station. In addition, the same plan sheet reflects Bald Cypress trees on
top of the lift station.
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.
35. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).

Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters,
whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)).
37. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be
paid for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature
on the Health Department application forms or within seven (7) days of site
plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based
upon final meter size, or expected demand.
38. 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.
39. 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.
40. Provide a master Utility Plan at the same scale as the Site Plan (LDR,
Chapter 4, Section 7.)

available. A copy of the as-builts for Lift Sta. 717 have been
attached.
43. Should the engineers propose to build their own lift station for this project,
they would have to submit an analysis indicating that the life cycle cost
(capital and O&M) would be cheaper for the system with a new lift station
than it would be for connecting to the existing stations. This analysis can be
conducted based upon "present-worth" of the two alternatives, with an
expected 40-year life on the stations.
44. Provide a minimum of 10-foot separation between sewer and water mains in
accordance with City of Boynton Beach Utility Design Manual.
45. Utility construction details will not be reviewed for construction
acceptability at this time. All utility construction details shall be in

Plan Sheet) so that we may determine which appurtenances, trees or
shrubbery may interfere with utilities. As an example, Landscape Plan sheet
4 of 6 indicates Live Oak, Red Maple and Dahoon Holly trees on top of
proposed wastewater, force main, and water main to the east of the proposed
lift station. In addition, the same plan sheet reflects Bald Cypress trees on
top ofthe lift station.
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.

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)).
37. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be
paid for this project either upon the request for the Department's signature
on the Health Department application forms or within seven (7) days of site
plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based
upon final meter size, or expected demand.
38. 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.

1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works 1
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per
10-26 (a). We agree to do this.
2. The provided site plan does not allow for Solid Waste service. Automated
pickup is from the right (passenger) side of the vehicle. The one-way
roadways within the proposed development create areas where pickup is not
possible. Additionally multiple dead-end sections throughout the multi-
family portion create unsafe backing situations for solid waste vehicles. We
have made the alleys two way to facilitate the automated waste pickup.
Mr. Livergood indicated that this would be acceptable. The dead end
alleys are located along Miner Road and High Ridge Road in an effort
to minimize cuts and improve the streetscape along those streets. They
do not exceed 60', and are far shorter than the alleys approved at
Renaissance Commons.
3. Provide a minimum 55-foot outside turning radius for solid waste (and Fire-
Rescue) vehicles at all intersections. We have provided a 55' outside
turning radius as requested.

Comments:
4. Provide a notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review)
from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering. The concurrency letter
from Palm Beach County has been provided.
5. ID the traffic impact analysis, the traffic consultant must consider traffic
generated by Canterbury and surrounding new development in its evaluation
in lieu of considering traffic generated by those developments as part of
regular background traffic. Staff can make this information for surrounding
developments available for further evaluation. We have received
concurrency approval from Palm Beach County Engineering.
According to our traffic engineer, Yvonne Ziel, the information
received from staff is inadequate to result in a meaningful revision of
the traffic study, as it is not specific enough. It is not our responsibility
to redo the Quantam Park Traffic Study.
6. On the Site and Civil plans, show and identify all necessary traffic control
devices such as stop bars, stop signs, double yellow lane separators striping,

shown on civil and site plans.
7. Staff strongly discourages on-street parking along High Ridge Rd. and
Miner Rd. due to their functional classification (Urban Collector) and the
volumes and types of traffic they carry. The applicant may petition the
County for permission to utilize on-street parking. If allowed by the
County, provide written concurrence of this decision. We think on street
parking on High Ridge and Minor Roads makes a great deal of sense
for reasons of convenience for residents and their guests, traffic
calming, and creation of a more pedestrian friendly environment.
These spaces are provided for the convenience of residents and guests.
They cost thousands of dollars, but we believe they are beneficial and
should remain. These roads will never carry enough traffic to merit
widening to four lanes, and therefore we believe they are perlect
opportunities for on street parking. We have asked the County for
their written concurrence, but have not yet received this concurrence.
We have thus taken the parking off the site plan, but would like to put
in back in if we get County approval.
8. The minimum right-of-way width for a PUD is 40-feet. (LDR, Chapter 2.5,
Section 9.F.) "Alleys" are not permitted in residential developments (LDR,
Chapter 6, Article III, Section I.) The City of Boynton Beach
Comprehensive Plan encourages New Urbanist design. Alleys are an
integral part of new urbanist design. Alley create a much more
attractive streetscape that is found in conventional suburban style
developments. Alleys are used at Renaissauce Commons.
9. Minimum lanes of II-feet in width shall be provided within the proposed
development and shall be a minimum of l2-ft. at all major ingress/egress
points (i.e.: High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd.) 10 foot lanes are adequate
for local neighborhood streets. The idea is to create a pedestrian
friendly environment, and narrowing traffic lanes accomplishes this
objective by slowing traffic. 12' lanes are provided in the streets
connecting to High Ridge Road; 10' lanes are provided everywhere
else.
10. hnprove High Ridge Rd. to a minimum of three 12-foot lanes from Miner
Rd. to the northern boundary of the proposed development. Provide plans,
including typical sections, for off-site improvements. Palm Beach County
permits will be required for work within the Palm Beach County right-of-
way. We have modified our plans as requested.
11. On-street parking, not within the project limits, may not be counted towards
required parking. We have excess spaces even without the on street
parking spaces on High Ridge and Miner.
12. Per City Standards P-l and P-20, place minimum four feet wide sidewalks
on both sides of roadways within the development and minimum five feet

inches x 25-feet O-inches. Minimum roadway width shall be 24-feet 0-
inches for parking maneuvering in accordance with this same standard.
Parallel parking spaces measuring 9'-5" x 25' are provided on all
streets, except on the three entry streets, where 8'-0" x 25' spaces are
provided. The proposed minimum roadway width of 20' is also more
than adequate. A 24' roadway width would only be necessary if the
road were accessed by 90 degree parking spaces. No such spaces are
proposed.
14. A minimum of one handicap accessible parking stall shall be provided for
the recreation area. This has been provided.
15. Additional space at each dead end section will need to be provided to allow
for backing maneuvers. We have added additional space for backing
maneuvers as requested.

the adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project
upon the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible. A
timeline is now provided.
38. Numerous errors and omissions have been noted on these proposed Utility
plans and in this review comments report. Drawings need to be thoroughly
checked and coordinated by the consulting engineer. It is the responsibility
of the consulting engineer to familiarize himself with the City of Boynton
Beach Land Development Regulations and available infrastructure prior to
submission of plans. Quality control is the responsibility of the consulting
Engineer - not the City of Boynton Beach. The errors have been
corrected.
39. All utility easements shall be shown on the rectified site plan and
landscaping drawings (as well as the Drainage and Preliminary Engineering
Plan Sheet) so that we may determine which appurtenances, trees or
shrubbery may interfere with utilities. As an example, Landscape Plan sheet
4 of 6 indicates Live Oak, Red Maple and Dahoon Holly trees on top of
proposed wastewater, force main, and water main to the east of the proposed
lift station. In addition, the same plan sheet reflects Bald Cypress trees on
top of the lift station. The easements are now shown.
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. We have
attempted to eliminate utility/landscape conflicts.

appropriate agencies. This statement is lacking on the submitted plans.
This statement has now been added.
52. The City of Boynton Beach does not wish to have another lift station
constructed for this project. If the applicant desires, there is a lift station
approximately Y2 mile north of this project (south terminus ofNW 7th Ct. -
Lift Station 717) or another approximately ~ mile east of the intersection of
High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. (Lift Station 718.) Also available are
gravity systems in the Commerce Rd. right-of-way and within the Cedar
Ridge subdivision. We have taken a preliminary look at the suggestions
offer by the City and offer the following: The gravity sewer in the
Commerce Road right-of-way has a terminal manhole invert elevation
of 15.03 (per as-built information provided by the City). The invert
elevation of the manhole at the north western end of the project will be
about 13.00. The invert elevation of the manhole at the south western
end of the project will be about 13.00. Hence, the system cannot
physically connect by gravity to the manhole in the Commerce Road
right-of-way. The gravity sewer in the Cedar Ridge subdivision has a
terminal manhole invert elevation of 14.41 (per as-built information
provided by the City). The invert elevation of the manhole at the north
western end of the project will be about 13.00. The invert elevation of
the manhole at the south western end of the project will be about 13.00.
Hence, the system cannot physically connect by gravity to the Cedar
Ridge system. The gravity sewer in Miner Road that discharges to Lift
Station 718 has a terminal manhole invert elevation of 6.99 (per as-
built information provided by the City). The flow distance from the
manhole at the north western end of the project will be approximately
2,450 feet. Thus a fall of approximately 11.00 feet (2,450 x 0.44%) will
be required from the manhole at the north western end of the project
to the terminal manhole for the gravity sewer in Miner Road that
discharges to Lift Station 718, requiring an invert elevation at the
manhole at the north western end of the project of approximately
18.00. The invert elevation of the manhole at the north western end of
the project will be about 13.00. Hence, the system cannot physically
connect by gravity to Lift Station 718. We have not obtained as-built
information for Lift Station 717. However, given that the flow distance
from the manhole at the south western end of the project to Lift
Station 717 will be approximately 4,000 feet, requiring a fall of
approximately 18.00 feet (4,000 x 0.44%), it appears that we would not
be able to physically connect to Lift Station 717.
53. Should the engineers propose to build their own lift station for this project,
they would have to submit an analysis indicating that the life cycle cost
(capital and O&M) would be cheaper for the system with a new lift station
than it would be for connecting to the existing stations. This analysis can be
conducted based upon "present-worth" of the two alternatives, with an
expected 40-year life on the stations. Based on the response to comment
52, we do not believe that we can physically connect to any existin2

roof enclosure at the rear of their unit. The homes are courtyard style;
therefore there cannot be screen enclosures at the rear of the homes.
The builder will not offer screen enclosures as a standard of optional
feature. However, the courtyards could conceivably be screened by the
homeowner at a later date. If a homeowner chooses to screen in their
courtyard, they would have to comply with the applicable requirement.

RE:
Review Comments
New Site Plan - 2nd Review (Technical Advisory Review Team)
High Ridge New Urban Communities
File No. NWSP 05-017
The above referenced Site Plans, received by the Technical Advisory Review Team (TARTs) review of
May 31, 2005, were reviewed for Public Works, Engineering, and Utilities against the requirements
outlined in the City of Boynton Beach Code of Ordinances. Following are our revised comments with the
appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations (LDR) referenced. Please note, at this time we
do not recommend that this project move forward until the following issues have been
addressed.
PUBLIC WORKS - GENERAL
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-6200) regarding the
storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section 10-26 (a). INCLUDE.
2. The provided Site Plan does not allow for Solid Waste service. Automated pickup is from the right
(passenger) side of the vehicle. The one-way roadways within the proposed development create
areas where pickup is not possible. Additionally multiple dead-end sections throughout the multi-
family portion create unsafe backing situations for Solid Waste vehicles. INCLUDE. Although the
roadways have been made two-way they continue to be deficient in width and insufficient
turning radii have been provided at intersections to permit turning movements by Solid Waste
trucks.
3. Provide a minimum 53-ft. outside turning radius (40-ft. inside turning radius) for Solid Waste (and
Fire-Rescue) vehicles at all intersections. INCLUDE. Multiple locations within the internal
roadways still do not meet this criteria without utilizing the opposite lane for the turning
maneuver.
PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC
4. Provide a notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from Palm Beach County
Traffic Engineering. DELETE.
5. In the traffic impact analysis, the traffic consultant must consider traffic generated by Canterbury and
surrounding new development in its evaluation in lieu of considering traffic generated by those
developments as part of regular background traffic. Staff can make this information for surrounding
developments available for further evaluation. REJECT.
Department of Public Works/Engineering Division Memo No. 05-071
Re: High Ridge New Urban Communities, New Site Plan 2nd Review
June 6, 2005
Page 2
6. On the Site and Civil Plans, show and identify all necessary traffic control devices such as stop bars,
stop signs, double yellow lane separators striping, directional arrows and "Do Not Enter" signage, etc.
See City Standard Drawings "K" Series for striping details. INCLUDE. Add a stop sign and stop
bar at the east end of the east-west roadway in the southeast corner of the development. Add
stop signs and stop bars at the north and south ends of the north-south roadway north of the
lake. Painted directional arrows are not necessary on the roadways. Show locations of
pedestrian crossing signs.
7. Staff strongly discourages on-street parking along High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. due to their
functional classification (Urban Collector) and the volumes and types of traffic they carry. The
applicant may petition the County for permission to utilize on-street parking. If allowed by the
County, provide written concurrence of this decision. INCLUDE.
8. The minimum right-of-way width for a PUD is 40-ft. (LOR, Chapter 2.5, Section 9.F.) "Alleys" are not
permitted in residential developments (LOR, Chapter 6, Article III, Section 1.) INCLUDE. The
applicant's response indicated that alleys were used at Renaissance Commons - they were
not. All roadways have minimum 11-ft. lanes and a 40-ft. private right-of-way width.
9. Minimum lanes of 11-ft. in width shall be provided within the proposed development and shall be a
minimum of 12-ft. at all major ingress/egress points (Le.: High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd.) INCLUDE.
10. Improve High Ridge Rd. to a minimum of three 12-ft.lanes from Miner Rd. to the northern boundary
of the proposed development. Provide plans, including typical sections, for off-site improvements.
Palm Beach County permits will be required for work within the Palm Beach County right-of-way.
INCLUDE. The developer shall provide a letter of credit in the amount of 110% of the
engineer's estimate for public roadway improvements prior to issuance of any building
permits for this project. The letter of credit shall be held until such time as the improvements
are complete.
11. NEW. Add Type F Curb & Gutter to the typical section for High Ridge Road.
12. NEW. All roads internal to the project shall be private.
13. On-street parking, not within the project limits, may not be counted towards required parking.
DELETE.
14. Per City Standards P-1 and P-20, place minimum four feet wide sidewalks on both sides of roadways
within the development and minimum five feet sidewalks along Miner and High Ridge Rd. adjacent to
the development. Sidewalks shall be placed one foot off the right-of-way line in the public (or private
internally) right-of-way. DELETE.
15. Per City Standard K-10 parallel parking stalls (00 parking) shall be 10-ft. x 25-ft. O-in. for on street
parking. Minimum roadw3Y width shall be 24 ft. 0 in. for parking m:meu'lering in accordance with this
S3me stand3rd. INCLUDE. Comment revised.
16. A minimum of one handicap accessible parking stall shall be provided for the recreation area.
INCLUDE. Show location of HC space, including dimensions and required signing/striping, on
the plans,

17. Additional space at each dead end section will need to be provided to allow for backing maneuvers.
DELETE.
ENGINEERING
18. Add a general note to the Site Plan that all plans submitted for specific permits shall meet the City's
Code requirements at time of application. These permits include, but are not limited to, the following:
paving, drainage, curbing, site lighting, landscaping and irrigation. Permits required from other
permitting agencies such as Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD), Lake Worth Drainage District (LWDD), Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP), Palm Beach County Health Department (PBCHD), Palm Beach
County Engineering Department (PBCED), Palm Beach County Department of Environmental
Resource Management (PBCDERM) and any others, shall be included with the permit request.
DELETE.
19. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate
sheets. INCLUDE.
20. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional comments.
Acceptance of these plans during the TARTs process does not ensure that additional comments may
not be generated by the Commission and at permit review. INCLUDE.
21. Upon Commission approval of the Site Plan schedule a pre-application meeting with the Engineering
Division to begin the plat process. INCLUDE.
22. Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Landscape Plans (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) The
lighting design shall provide a minimum average light level of one foot-candle. On the Lighting Plan,
specify that the light poles shall withstand a 140 MPH wind load (LDR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section
A.1.a and Florida Building Code). Provide a note that the fixtures shall be operated by photo-
electrical control and are to remain on until 2:00 a.m. (LDR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.a.)
Include pole wind loading, and pole details in conformance with the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV,
Section 11, Chapter 23, Article I, Section 5.B.7 and Chapter 23, Article II, Section A on the Lighting
Plan. If possible please provide photometries as part of your TRC plan submittals - it is much easier
to identify and correct any deficiencies now than while you are waiting on a permit! REVISE: Show
point lighting levels on the photometric plan.
23. Provide a master Landscape Plan at the same scale as the Site Plan (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.)
INCLUDE.
24. It will be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate
future shadowing on the parking surface (LDR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b.) INCLUDE.

UTILITIES
40. 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. INCLUDE - NO TIMELlNE RECEIVED.
41. Numerous errors and omissions have been noted on these proposed Utility Plans and in this review
comments report. Drawings need to be thoroughly checked and coordinated by the consulting
engineer. It is the responsibility of the consulting engineer to familiarize himself with the City of
Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations and available infrastructure prior to submission of
plans. Quality control is the responsibility of the consulting Engineer - not the City of Boynton Beach.
DELETE.
42. All utility easements shall be shown on the rectified Site Plan and landscaping drawings (as well as
the Drainage and Preliminary Engineering Plan Sheet) so that we may determine which
appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with utilities. As a example, Landscape Plan sheet
4 of 6 indicates Live Oak, Red Maple and Dahoon Holly trees on top of proposed wastewater, force
main, and water main to the east of the proposed lift station. In addition, the same plan sheet reflects
Bald Cypress trees on top of the lift station. INCLUDE.
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. INCLUDE.
43. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). INCLUDE.
44. 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)). INCLUDE.
45. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200-
ft. of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Several lots/town home sites are not covered by this
requirement; lots not covered are: 1, 2, 3 partially, 22 partially, 23, 24 partially, 33 partially, 34, 35
partially and 170 partially. Reconfigure proposed fire hydrants locations to comply with this
requirement. DELETE.
46. 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 applications 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. INCLUDE.

47. 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). DELETE.
48. 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. INCLUDE.
49. 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. INCLUDE.
50. Provide a master Utility Plan at the same scale as the Site Plan (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.)
INCLUDE.
51. Show water and sewer main diameters and materials. INCLUDE.
52. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP. DELETE.
53. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the dwellings as
well as the recreational building, and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the
CODE, Section 26-207. DELETE.
54. 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 oft-site utilities construction needed in order to service this project. Lines shown on both
High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. will require validation. DELETE.
55. 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. DELETE.
56. The City of Boynton Beach does not wish to have another lift station constructed for this project. If
the applicant desires there is a lift station approximately ~ mile north of this project (south terminus
of NW 7th Ct. - Lift Station 717) or another approximately ~ mile east of the intersection of High
Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. (Lift Station 718.) Also available are gravity systems in the Commerce Rd.
right-af-way and within the Cedar Ridge subdivision. INCLUDE. The invert elevation at Lift Sta.
717 is 1.19. By upsizing to a 10-in. main and using a 0.3% slope it is possible to tie into Lift
Sta.717. Credit for oversizing the main may be available. A copy of the as-builts for Lift Sta.
717 have been attached.
Should the engineers propose to build their own lift station for this project, they would have to submit
an analysis indicating that the life cycle cost (capital and O&M) would be cheaper for the system with
a new lift station than it would be for connecting to the existing stations. This analysis can be
conducted based upon "present-worth" of the two alternatives, with an expected 40-year life on the
stations. INCLUDE.

57. If a Lift Station is permitted on the property it shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the City of Boynton Beach Utility Design Manual with appropriate roadway access, walled enclosure
and landscaping. DELETE.
58. Provide a minimum of 10-ft. separation between sewers and water mains in accordance with City of
Boynton Beach Utility Design Manual. INCLUDE.
59. 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

PUBLIC WORKS - General
Comments:
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section
10-26 (a). We agree to do this.
2. The provided site plan does not allow for Solid Waste service. Automated
pickup is from the right (passenger) side of the vehicle. The one-way
roadways within the proposed development create areas where pickup is not
possible. Additionally multiple dead-end sections throughout the multi-
family portion create unsafe backing situations for solid waste vehicles. We
have made the alleys two way to facilitate the automated waste pickup.
Mr. Livergood indicated that this would be acceptable. The dead end
alleys are located along Miner Road and High Ridge Road in an effort
to minimize cuts and improve the streetscape along those streets. They
do not exceed 60', and are far shorter than the alleys approved at
Renaissance Commons.
3. Provide a minimum 55-foot outside turning radius for solid waste (and Fire-
Rescue) vehicles at all intersections. We have provided a 55' outside
turning radius as requested.
PUBLIC WORKS - Traffic
Comments:
4. Provide a notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review)

advertised in accordance with Ordinance 04-007. Ok.
102. A unity of title may be required. The Building Division of the Department
of Development will determine its applicability. We do not believe such a
requirement is necessary, since the project is fee simple. The unity
would have to be released for us to convey title to each lot purchaser.

Comments:
1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-
6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section
10-26 (a). We agree to do this.
2. The provided site plan does not allow for Solid Waste service. Automated
pickup is from the right (passenger) side ofthe vehicle. The one-way
roadways within the proposed development create areas where pickup is not
possible. Additionally multiple dead-end sections throughout the multi-
family portion create unsafe backing situations for solid waste vehicles. We
have made the alleys two way to facilitate the automated waste pickup.
Mr. Livergood indicated that this would be acceptable. The dead end
alleys are located along Miner Road and High Ridge Road in an effort
to minimize cuts and improve the streetscape along those streets. They
do not exceed 60', and are far shorter than the alleys approved at
Renaissance Commons.

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.
38. Numerous errors and omissions have been noted on these proposed Utility plans and in this review
comments report. Drawings need to be thoroughly checked and coordinated by the consulting
engineer. It is the responsibility of the consulting engineer to familiarize himself with the City of
Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations and available infrastructure prior to submission of
plans. Quality control is the responsibility of the consulting Engineer - not the City of Boynton Beach.
39. All utility easements shall be shown on the rectified site plan and landscaping drawings (as well as
the Drainage and Preliminary Engineering Plan Sheet) so that we may determine which
appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with utilities. As an example, Landscape Plan sheet
4 of 6 indicates Live Oak, Red Maple and Dahoon Holly trees on top of proposed wastewater, force
main, and water main to the east of the proposed lift station. In addition, the same plan sheet reflects
Bald Cypress trees on top of the lift station.
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.
40. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
41. 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)).
42. The LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200-
ft. of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Several lots/town home sites are not covered by this

requirement; lots not covered are: 1, 2, 3 partially, 22 partially, 23, 24 partially, 33 partially, 34, 35
partially and 170 partially. Reconfigure proposed fire hydrants locations to comply with this
requirement.
43. 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.
44. 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).
45. 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.
46. 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.
47. Provide a master Utility Plan at the same scale as the Site Plan (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.)
48. Show water and sewer main diameters and materials.
49. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP.
50. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the dwellings as
well as the recreational building, and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the
CODE, Section 26-207.
51. 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. Lines shown on both
High Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. will require validation.
52. 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.
53. The City of Boynton Beach does not wish to have another lift station constructed for this project. If
the applicant desires there is a lift station approximately ~ mile north of this project (south terminus
of NW ih Ct. - Lift Station 717) or another approximately ~ mile east of the intersection of High
Ridge Rd. and Miner Rd. (Lift Station 718.) Also available are gravity systems in the Commerce Rd.
right-of-way and within the Cedar Ridge subdivision.

Should the engineers propose to build their own lift station for this project, they would have to submit
an analysis indicating that the life cycle cost (capital and O&M) would be cheaper for the system with
a new lift station than it would be for connecting to the existing stations. This analysis can be
conducted based upon "present-worth" of the two alternatives, with an expected 40-year life on the
stations.
54. If a Lift Station is permitted on the property it shall be designed and constructed in accordance with
the City of Boynton Beach Utility Design Manual with appropriate roadway access, walled enclosure
and landscaping.
55. Provide a minimum of 10-ft. separation between sewer and water mains in accordance with City of
Boynton Beach Utility Design Manual.
56. 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.
