The following comments remain to be addressed or are added as a result of your most recent revisions, and are being forwarded to you for your review and response: 1. 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. 2. The revised plan now shows a valet parking area on the south end of the main parking lot. At the north end of the valet parking area 4 parallel parking spaces are depicted which bring the backup spaces for perpendicular parking on either side to less than the minimum required dimension of25-ft. This will not be allowed - please correct. 3. All handicap parking spaces have been shown east ofthe clubhouse. ADA standards require that handicap parking be provided on the closest accessible route to a building. It is also preferred that the handicapped not have to cross traffic if it is avoidable. Please justify the location of the proposed handicap parking or relocate them to the North Parking lot. 4. Show proposed site lighting on the plans (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) 5. Due to the change in impervious area, at the time of permitting drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5 will be required. 6. Paving, Drainage and site details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All engineering construction details shall be in accordance with the applicable City of Boynton Beach Standard Drawings and the "Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" and will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application. 7. Show and identify utility appurtenances (fire hydrants, meter boxes, etc.) on the site plan so that we may determine if there any conflicts between appurtenances and proposed site changes. ... .. . Page 2 June 23,2006 8. Off-street parking areas are required to have at least 20 square feet of interior landscaping for each parking space, excluding those parking spaces abutting a perimeter for which landscaping is required through other sections ofthe code and excluding all parking spaces which are directly served by an aisle abutting and running parallel to such a perimeter. Your revisions incorrectly note a 10 square foot requirement. Please correct and depict on the plans, through shading or some other technique, exactly where these interior, not perimeter, landscape areas are located and the total square foot of each, in order to show compliance with the code requirement. Each separate landscape area shall contain a minimum of 25 square feet and shall have a minimum dimension of at least 5 feet and shall include at least one tree having a clear trunk of at least 5 feet, with the remaining area adequately landscaped with shrubs, ground cover or other authorized landscape material not to exceed 3 feet in height. The total number of trees shall not be less than one tree for every 10 parking spaces. Trees provided adjacent to rights-of-way, abutting properties, and building walls shall not contribute towards this requirement. Such landscape areas shall be located in a manner as to divide and break up the expanse of paving. Please clearly indicate on the plans the areas and specific trees that meet this requirement as well as place on the plans the calculations used to determine compliance. Ensure that you carefully read this entire comment, as compliance with only a portion of the comment will lead to another round of revisions on your part. If you have any questions or need interpretation of anything contained within this comment, please contact me for clarification. 9. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate sheets. 10. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional comments.

As previously discussed, an administrative waiver may have been permitted to allow use of the City's old parking standard, which allowed a 9- ft x 18- ft. stall with a 27-ft. backup. The proposed layout for the employee parking area does not, in areas, even meet the minimum CRA standards. Again, as previously discussed with the EOR, the plan shall use either the current City minimum standards or may, with an administrative waiver, use the old City Standard for striping. "Mixing and Matching" of standards will not be allowed. 4. Add a note to the Site Plan stating "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 (L WDD), 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." 5.

Boynton Beach, Blvd. Boynton Beach, FL 33425 RE: HUNTER'S RUN MINOR SITEPLAN MODIFICATION SDA PROJECT NO. 0759A.02 Dear Eric: Hunter's Run is a large existing community with tennis courts, golf course and a large clubhouse. There is a parking area in front of and surrounding the clubhouse. The parking area is divided into four (4) sections. The "North Parking Lot" is for the golf course and is used by the golfers. The "Residential Parking Lot" is in front of the clubhouse and is used by all residents and guests. It also extends in front of the tennis court, and the people playing tennis use this parking area as well. "Valet Parking" is mostly for clubhouse guests and is used by the valet parking attendants. There is also a parking lot located south of the clubhouse designated for "Employees Only" and for long term "shift employees". In season, Hunter's Run Community has a parking shortage and people park on the grass area. Estimated parking shortage is approximately 70 to 80 spaces. To achieve better efficiency for the parking layout and to add approximately 70 spaces to the total parking, we have to eliminate small finger islands in the "Residential Parking Lot". We also need to rearrange the existing parking so that we can achieve better traffic flow. 00 R (Ii) rc: n Ir':S " Is llll \I; LI \l/ ! r. ~:[_~ I_~_!,_m -- w '..
