PROPERTY OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners of properties within 400 feet of the subject conditional use were mailed a notice of this request
and its respective hearing dates. The applicant certifies that they posted signage and mailed notices in
accordance with Ordinance No. 04-007.
BACKGROUND
Proposal:
Boynton Ventures I, LLC assembled many lots within two city blocks in order to
develop a large scale mixed use project. The subject property is located within
Study Area III of the Federal Highway Corridor Community Redevelopment Plan
and a portion was previously approved for a rezoning (LUAR 03-003), from Central
Business District (CSD) to Mixed-Use High (MU-H). In addition, the property was
also approved for a site plan (NWSP 03-002) consisting of three (3) buildings
ranging from three (3) stories to 10 stories in height. The previously approved site
plan contained 276 dwelling units, 24,296 square feet of retail, 18,169 square feet
of office, and 12,699 square feet of restaurant use. It should be noted that a
portion of an alley on Block 7 was previously abandoned (ABAN 03-002) to
accommodate the aforementioned uses. The project represented the second
"mixed-use" type of development within the MU-H zoning district at the time of its
approval. Since then, Boynton Ventures I, LLC acquired additional property on
Block 7 on the Original Town of Boynton plat. As such, the applicant is now
requesting a major site plan modification in order to construct a total of 378
dwelling units and 40,596 square feet of retail, which could include office and
restaurant uses. This modification represents an increase in the retail area by
16,300 square feet and an overall increase in the number of dwelling units by 102
units. However, the office and restaurant uses have been eliminated from the
plans; although a future conversion between the uses is probable. Regardless, the
total "commercial" area has been reduced by 14,568 square feet. Approval of the
site plan will be contingent upon the approval of the accompanying request for land
use amendment / rezoning (LUAR 05-008). The recently acquired property would
require the Mixed Use-Core (MX-C) land use and Mixed Use-High (MU-H) zoning.
In order to attain higher residential density and achieve better project
cohesiveness, the applicant submitted three (3) separate requests to abandon
several adjoining rights-of-way (i.e. sidewalks, alleys, and streets). They are
itemized as follows: ASAN 05-005, is for the remaining portion of Southeast 1st
Place ( 0.057-acres), ABAN 05-004, would abandon Southeast 1st Avenue (0.308-
acres), and ABAN 05-006, would abandon the sidewalks along Southeast 4th Street,
Southeast 2nd Avenue, and East Ocean Avenue (0.221-acres). It should be noted
Staff Report - The Arches (MSPM 05-008)
Memorandum No PZ 05-142
Page 3
that these abandonment requests will be reviewed by the Board and City
Commission at a later date.
However, staff does not support the abandonment of the sidewalks (ABAN 05-006).
The reasons for this position are as follows: Abandoning public sidewalks to
benefit a property owner is contrary to standard procedure and will set a precedent
that will be sought by other property owners / developers desiring increased
density. This becomes problematic because abandoning sidewalks to increase
project density is contrary to the standard methodology used by city staff and
others conducting planning studies on growth projections. To allow the
abandonment of sidewalks (en masse) in order to attain increased residential
densities will cause complications related to comprehensive planning, long-range
traffic analysis, and infrastructure needs / assessment. The land area of the
sidewalks to be abandoned would amount to 9,640 square feet (0.221 acres). At
80 dwelling units per acre, this translates to a reduction in 18 dwelling units. The
plans would have to be revised to reduce the number of dwelling units from 378 to
360 units (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval).
ANALYSIS
Concurrency:
Traffic: Generally, a project's anticipated traffic is generated by two factors, namely the
proposed use and its intensity. Intensity is typically measured by the proposed
building area (in square feet). This project's traffic study was sent to Palm Beach
County Traffic Division for their review and approval. The Traffic Division
determined that the proposed mixed-use project is located within the designated
Boynton Beach Traffic Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA), and therefore meets
the Traffic Performance Standards (TPS) of Palm Beach County. However, no
building permits are to be issued by the city after the build-out date (2010). The
County traffic concurrency approval is subject to the Project Aggregation Rules set
forth in the TPS Ordinance (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval).
Utilities: The purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach
County Utilities would supply potable water for this project (projected to a total of
125,000 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure improvements may be
required for the project, dependent upon the final project configuration and fire-
flow demands. These local improvements would be the responsibility of the site
developer and would be reviewed at the time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary
sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is currently available to serve the project
total of 125,000 gallons per day, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation
of capacity, following approval of the site plan (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of
Approval).
Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The
Engineering Division is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions
be deferred until time of permit review. All South Florida Water Management
District permits and other drainage related permits must be submitted at time of
building permit (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval).

Police/Fire: Police and Fire review is pending and will be presented by staff if available at the
time of the City Commission hearing.
School:
Driveways:
The proposed project is located within the School District of Palm Beach County
Concurrency Service Area (CSA) #19. The District determined that adequate
capacity exists to accommodate the projected resident children.
The proposed development is considered a large-scale mixed-use project that
would encompass two (2) full city blocks. The project can be characterized by
"urban / infill" development whereby front building setbacks are minimal and off-
street parking is relegated to a subordinate role. The plans show that an interior
parking garage would provide for the majority of off-street parking spaces, which is
intentionally proposed to be located to the "rear" of the project (along Southeast
4th Street). Also, the project is not proposing traditional driveways and surface
parking lots like "suburban"-type of projects (where driveways connect to off-street
parking located in front of the buildings). Conversely, this project proposes only
one surface parking lot. This lot would be cradled between the buildings and
virtually unseen from the adjacent rights-of-way. This at-grade parking lot would
have two (2) points of ingress / egress and contain only eight (8) parking spaces.
The project proposes three (3) driveway openings. The main point of ingress /
egress is proposed along Federal Highway. Both the ingress and egress lanes
would be 14 feet in width, separated by a seven (7)-foot wide landscaped median.
The egress lane would allow for right-turn only traffic movements onto Federal
Highway. An alternate point of ingress / egress is proposed along Southeast 4th
Street. This opening would be 24 feet in width and would allow for left and right
turn (south and north) traffic movements onto Southeast 4th Street. It would
connect to the interior parking garage. The third driveway opening would occur
along Southeast 2nd Avenue. The egress lane would allow for right (west) and left
(east) turn traffic movements onto Southeast 2nd Avenue. Likewise, this opening
would directly connect to the interior parking garage as well. The ground floor plan
(sheet A-01) indicates that it too, would be 24 feet in width.
Parking Facility: Off-street parking for the proposed MU-H zoning district must meet the
requirements in Chapter 2, Section n.H., of the Boynton Beach Land Development
Regulations. The project proposes a mix of residential and retail uses. Normally,
one-bedroom apartment units require one and one-half (1112) parking spaces and
two and three bedroom apartment units require two (2) parking spaces each.
However, the MU-H zoning district has a different parking methodology for
residential units. According to the code, one-bedroom units require 1.33 parking
spaces and two (2) bedroom units require 1.66 parking spaces. The project
proposes 378 units (a mixture of one, two, and three bedrooms), which would
require 512 parking spaces. The commercial use (which would allow a mix of retail
and restaurant uses) requires one (1) parking space per 200 square feet of gross
(net) leasable floor area. The site plan proposes 40,596 square feet of retail
thereby requiring 203 parking spaces. Under this standard methodology for
calculating required off-street parking spaces, a grand total of 753 parking spaces
would be required. The site plan proposes 777 parking spaces, or an excess of 24
spaces. Regular parking space dimensions would conform to code requirements of
Staff Report - The Arches (MSPM 05-008)
Memorandum No PZ 05-142

Landscaping:
nine feet by eighteen feet for 90 degree parking. Handicap spaces would be
dimensioned 12 feet by 18 feet.
As previously mentioned, the applicant is proposing a five (5)-story parking garage
that would accommodate up to 769 vehicles, including 16 handicap spaces. The
accessible (handicap) spaces would occur on levels One through Three. According
to the Ground Floor Plan, a total of 127 parking spaces are proposed on the bottom
floor. These spaces would be used for the retail users. Likewise, the Second Floor
Plan would provide 162 spaces, of which, 78 spaces are earmarked for retail uses.
The remaining 84 spaces proposed on Level Two would be used for residential
uses. All subsequent floors are earmarked for apartment parking - the Third Floor
Plan would provide 168 spaces, the Fourth Floor Plan would provide 171 spaces,
and the Fifth Floor Plan would provide 141 spaces.
A surface parking lot located east of the interior parking garage and cradled in
between the buildings would provide for up to eight (8) parking spaces. Although
the intent is unclear as to the typical user of these spaces, in all likelihood, they
would be set aside as convenience parking for the commercial uses.
It should be noted that according to the applicant, six (6) parallel parking spaces
would remain intact along East Ocean Avenue. In addition, three (3) parallel
spaces are proposed on Southeast 2nd Avenue. These spaces would be utilized by
the general public and would not count toward provided parking.
The MU-H zoning district requires that at least 15% of the property is pervious
area. The site plan tabular data indicates that the total pervious area would equal
48,505 square feet (1.11 acres) or 23.44% of the site. This is accomplished, in
part, with the use of 51,590 square feet of pervious paving material called "Eco-
stone" pavers. Essentially, the typically impervious surface of the at-grade parking
lot would be replaced with Eco-stone. According to the applicant, Eco-stone is a
hard, pervious surface that allows water to permeate through. These "Eco-stone"
pavers would also be used on pedestrian walkways and plazas proposed
throughout the project. The pavers would be utilized in conjunction with the
traditional pervious / landscaped areas. The pavers are purposely used to meet the
15% pervious requirement of the MU-H zoning district. Staff fully endorses this
concept (within the Mixed Use zoning districts). However, the sixth floor recreation
deck contains plant material. The pervious surface of the sixth floor deck cannot
be used to count towards meeting the site plan's minimum pervious area.
Therefore, at the time of permitting, the landscape plan's tabular data shall indicate
the exact locations from where pervious surfaces statistics / data were derived (see
Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval).
The traditional landscaped areas would total 22,710 square feet or 0.52 acres.
According to the Tree Disposition Plan, the subject site currently contains 111
existing trees. The species consist of the following trees: Foxtail, Coconut,
Christmas, Cabbage, Royal, Queen, and Solitaire palm trees and Oak, Ficus, Pink
Tabebuia, and Mahogany shade trees. At the time of permitting, the developer
shall provide a list of on-site trees (earmarked for removal/relocation) to the Parks
and Recreation Division. The Division will use this list to identify those trees
Staff Report - The Arches (MSPM 05-008)
Memorandum No PZ 05-142
Page 6
eligible for relocation to a city property. However, it must be noted that not all the
trees and palms can be used by the city. In any case, the developer must root
prune the trees according to industry standards in advance of transplanting. In
addition, the developer must be responsible for relocating the trees and palms to
the locations determined by the Division. The developer must irrigate the trees
and palms for a period of 90 days or until irrigation can be installed. Many of these
trees would be relocated to the Woolbright / Leisureville park site (see Exhibit "C"-
Conditions of Approval).
The regulations for the MU-H district proVide specific landscape requirements that
are addressed in the proposed landscape plan. The landscape plan plant list
indicates that 300 shade / palm trees are proposed, of which, 33% would be native
species. The landscape plan also proposes 4,803 shrubs / hedges / accents, of
which, 22.3% would be native species. Therefore, at the time of permitting, the
plans must provide 50% native plant material (see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of
Approval).
The plant material proposed along the rights-of-way (within the north, south, east,
and west landscape buffers) would consist of the following species: Helen Johnson
Bougainvillea, Shining jasmine, Green Buttonwood hedge, Florida Royal palm, and
Glaucous cassia. Generally, the trees proposed within the streetscape include
Royal Palm, Live Oak, and Glaucous Cassia trees. The Florida Royal palm trees,
proposed along Federal Highway, would be installed at 12 feet of gray wood at the
time of installation. The Live Oak trees proposed along Southeast 4th Street would
be installed at 18 feet to 22 feet in height.
Palm trees would be used in the streetscape in areas of conflict with utility
easements. A note on the landscape plan indicates that "Bio-barriers" or root
barriers would be provided for all streetscape canopy trees. To protect the trees,
tree guards will be provided for all streetscape trees located along the rights-of-
way. The landscape plans show that these streetscape trees would be placed 20
feet apart. Also, a row of planters or flower containers filled with blooming annuals
or perennials shall be placed along the sidewalks along Federal Highway and Ocean
Avenue. These pots would be irrigated and drained. It should be noted that any
plant material proposed outside the property lines cannot be counted towards
meeting the minimum required landscaping. Furthermore, any landscape material
proposed within the right-of-way must obtain the Engineering Division (and Florida
Department of Transportation FDOT) review and approval.
The site's interior courtyard would contain a substantial amount of plant material.
According to the applicant, the courtyard area is approximately 35,600 square feet
in area. The landscape plan shows that a planting strip along the east fa~ade of
the interior parking garage and along the west fa~ade of the retail (within the
courtyard) would be lined with Alexander palm trees and Redtip Cocoplum hedges.
The interior courtyard would also contain Dwarf Philodendron, Royal palm, Giant
Swardfern, and Sweet Vibernum.
Building and Site: Building and site design as proposed would generally meet code requirements
when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. Basically, the
Staff Report - The Arches (MSPM 05-008)
Memorandum No PZ 05-142
Page 7
project can be summarized as containing three (3) main buildings, which are, two
(2) mixed-use towers and a three (3)-story retail building centered upon an interior
court yard. The plans give the appearance that the project is made up of one (1)
giant building.
The maximum height allowed by the MU-H zoning district is 150 feet. All proposed
buildings would comply with this maximum height requirement. The number of
stories for the project ranges between four (4) stories to 15 stories. Generally, the
mixed-use portion proposed along Federal Highway would be four (4)-stories tall.
The elevations indicate that the top of the roof along Federal Highway would
generally be 43 feet - eight (8) inches in height. The top level of the parking
garage would be the fifth floor. The elevations of Southeast 4th Street (sheet A-
13) show that the top of the garage would be 53 feet - four (4) inches tall. It
should be noted that the project's recreation deck is proposed on the roof of the
parking garage (see floor plan of 6th floor). The residential towers, proposed at
each end of the project would be is-stories tall. The elevations shows the roof line
of the towers would be 150 feet in height and the top of the parapet wall would be
154 feet - eight (8) inches in height. However, there are certain elements of the
building that would exceed 150 feet. The roof plan (sheet A-09) shows that these
elements, namely the top of the stairwells and elevator shafts, would reach as high
as 167 feet. Therefore, approval of the site plan (as proposed) is contingent upon
the approval of the accompanying request for height exception (HTEX 05-006).
The MU-H zoning district requires no building setback but rather a zero (0) build-to
line. However, the building setbacks may be increased in areas where the intent is
to widen the pedestrian sidewalk and public gathering areas. This requirement
would apply to all building facades because the buildings front on four (4) streets.
The site plan shows the configuration of the lot lines after a successful
abandonment of the sidewalks. However, staff is not supporting the request for
sidewalk abandonment. The building setback is measured from the property line to
the exterior surface of the supporting columns. Along Federal Highway, the
proposed building setback would be approximately 15 feet from the east property
line to the columns of the four (4)-story building. Along East Ocean Avenue, the
proposed setback would be 11 feet - nine (9) inches from the existing north
property line.
However, the proposed building setback would be over 20 feet away from the north
property line if the sidewalk along East Ocean Avenue were abandoned. This
would not meet the intent of the code. It should be noted that the proposed
building is over 84 feet at the northeast corner of the property (at the intersection
of Federal Highway and East Ocean Avenue). This would meet the intent of the
code because it would provide for a public gathering area / fountain amenity that
all could enjoy. However, staff at the Community Redevelopment Agency is
recommending reducing the size of the public gathering area. According to the
applicant, this public plaza area would be approximately 21,500 square feet in area
(see Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval). The proposed building setback along
Southeast 4th Street would be nearly 16 feet. Again, the maximum allowable
setback along the west property line can be no more than 15 feet. The plans
would have to be revised to comply with code. The site plan shows that the
Staff Report - The Arches (MSPM 05-008)
Memorandum No PZ 05-142
Page 8
building would be setback over 20 feet from the south property line (along
Southeast 2nd Avenue) if the sidewalk along this street were abandoned. Again,
the building may be setback no further than 15 feet from this property line. It
appears as though it would comply if the sidewalk were not abandoned.
As previously mentioned, the plans propose a mix of one (1) and two (2) bedroom
apartment units. The site plan tabular data indicates that the smallest one (1)
bedroom unit would be 778 square feet (under A/C). The average size of all units
would be 1,100 square feet (under A/C). This would comply with the MU-H zoning
district.
Design:
In contrast to the prevailing "Old Florida" or "Mediterranean" vernacular, the
proposed architectural style could be described as "modernist" with the use of
Solarscreen glass, horizontal accent bands, and metallic linear features.
Improvements have been made to both the project and plan graphics to show
compliance with the CRA's design guidelines; however, staff observes room for
continued improvement in the street-level portion of the project. Staff continues to
provide the applicant with the option of providing more architectural elements to
articulate the street level facade, or additional graphics or plan details to show
compliance with the design guidelines. Additional elements would involve
accentuation of the walkway covering, presence of arcades or similar features, and
plinth, tiles or equivalent details (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The
elevations show that red (Jockey Red #6003) canvas awnings are proposed along
the base of each fa<;ade.
As previously mentioned, a noteworthy characteristic of the project is that the
parking would be virtually hidden from all views and is considered to be a
subordinate, unobtrusive element of the plan. Vehicular traffic is contained within
the internal framework of the project. The parking garage would be enclosed but
would have decorative openings compliant with Florida Building Code. These
openings would resemble large windows. The public space would be easily
accessible and open year round. External public space in the form of a spacious
plaza organizes and unifies the northern block and provides the essential public
connection to East Ocean Avenue. In fact, the public plaza is proposed at 21,500
square feet in area, or approximately 9,000 square feet more than the original site
plan. A central feature of the public plaza is a water fountain. Its placement would
be used as a focal point, although subtly, it provides relief and balance to the
hardscape and landscape elements of the plaza.
The proposed building material would be a combination of glass, metal, and brick.
The elevations do not indicate the paint manufacturer's name or color code. This
information must be included on the elevations prior to the issuance of a building
permit (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The proposed building colors are
the following Benjamin Moore paints:
Off-white
Tan
Light Yellow
Peach
Lancaster white
Desert Tan
Roasted Sesame Seed
Apple Crisp
2153-50
2160-40
2159-3

The applicant intends to use the same freestanding outdoor lighting fixtures that
the City installed along the sidewalk on Ocean Avenue. The project would contain
a combination of black poles / lamps within the project interior and teal poles /
lamps along the exterior - Federal Highway and Ocean Avenue. The details of the
pole show that pole heights could range from 12 feet tall (Courtyard Lights) to 18
feet tall (Exterior Street Light).
Signage:
No project signage is proposed with this submittal. At the time of permitting, the
applicant would be required to submit a master sign program that shows the
number, location, dimensions, exterior finish, and color(s) of all signs (Chapter 2,
Section S.H.9.). The sign program would address all types of signs, including
commercial wall signs, identification signs, residential subdivision signs,
freestanding monument signs, canopy signs, way-finding signs, directional signs,
and all other signs as regulated by Chapter 21 of the Land Development
Regulations (see Exhibit "CIf - Conditions of Approval).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has reviewed this request for major site plan modification. Staff recommends approval, contingent
upon the approval of the concurrent land use amendment/ rezoning application, height exception,
successful abandonment of Southeast 1st Avenue, and all comments indicated in Exhibit "CIf - Conditions
of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be
documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

25. If an accessible route has less than 60 inches clear width, then passing spaces
at least 60 inches by 60 inches shall be located at reasonable intervals not to
exceed 200 feet. A "T"-intersection of two corridors or walks is an acceptable
passing place. 2001 FBC, Section 11-4.3.4.
26. Identify within the site data the finish floor elevation (lowest floor elevation)
that is proposed for the building. Verify that the proposed elevation is in
compliance with regulations of the code by adding specifications to the site
data that address the following issues:
The design professional-of-record for the project shall add the following
text to the site data. "The proposed finish floor elevation _. _ NGVD
is above the highest 100-year base flood elevation applicable to the
building site, as determined by the SFWMD's surface water management
construction development regulations."
27. To properly determine the impact fees that will be assessed for the pool
building, provide the following:
. Will the pool building be restricted to the residents of the entire project only?
. Will the residents have to cross any major roads or thoroughfares to get to
the pool building?
. Will there be any additional deliveries to the site?
. Will there be any additional employees to maintain and provide service to the
site?
Please have the applicant provide the City with a copy of the letter that
will be sent to the impact fee coordinator. To allow for an efficient
permit review, the applicant should request that the County send the
City a copy of their determination of what impact fees are required for
the pool building/lease office.
28. CBBCPP 3.C.3.4 requires the conservation of potable water. City water may

PLANNING AND ZONING
Comments:
41. Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding
request to rezone from CBD to MU-H (LUAR 05-008). Indicate as such on
the site plan tabular data at the time of permitting. The MU-H zoning district
allows for up to 80 dwelling units per acre and the total number of allowable
units directly corresponds to the project acreage. Therefore, at the time of
permitting, revise the plans so that the number of units does not exceed the
maximum allowable density.
42. Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding
request for a height exception (HTEX 05-006). Indicate as such on the site
plan tabular data at the time of permitting.
43. Approval of the site plan (as proposed) is contingent upon the successful
abandonment (ABAN 05-004) of Southeast 1st A venue, and (ABAN 05-005)
Southeast 1 st Place. Staff does not support the sidewalk abandonment
(ABAN 05-006) which would reduce the project area by 0.221 acres, thereby
reducing the density by 18 dwelling units.
44. In addition to the current survey, submit an updated boundary survey showing
the inclusion of Southeast 1 st A venue into the boundaries of the subject
property. Staff will use this area in conjunction with the private lands to
confirm total project acreage, proposed density, and building setbacks. The
total project acreage should match the site plan tabular data. Provide the
break-down of project acreage for each area surveyed to confirm the total land
area as indicated in the site plan tabular data. The buildings can be setback
no further than 15 feet, unless a public gathering space (such as the one
proposed at northeast comer of the property) is provided.
45. The Palm Beach County Traffic Division determined that the proposed mixed-use
project is located within the designated Boynton Beach Traffic Concurrency
Exception Area (TCEA), and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards
(TPS) of Palm Beach County. However, no building permits are to be issued by the
city after the build-out date (2010). The County traffic concurrency approval is
subiect to the Proiect Aggregation Rules set forth in the TPS Ordinance.
46. Because there are multiple lots, a unity of title will be required to join the lots
together. A unit of title shall be executed prior to the issuance of a building
permit.

more like an archway rather than a square tunnel. Also, decorative molding
and cornice work would really enhance its appearance. These same treatments
should be provided for SE 4th and SE 2nd as well.
63. Staff applauds the developer for proposing a fountain at the northeast comer
of the property. However, the fountain on the landscape plan depicts it at the
very northeast comer of the parcel. It should be setback so as not to impact
the safe-sight triangle of Ocean A venue and Federal Highway as depicted on

for continued improvement in the street-level portion of the project. Staff
continues to provide the applicant with the option of providing more
architectural elements to articulate the street level facade, or additional
graphics or plan details to show compliance with the design guidelines.
Additional elements would involve accentuation of the walkway covering,
presence of arcades or similar features, and plinth, tiles or equivalent details.
Staff recommends utilizing awning colors that are more in keeping with the
shades of blue / teal that are characteristic throughout the city's public works
projects.

of the property. However, the fountain on the landscape plan depicts it at
the very NE Comer of the parcel. It should be setback so as not to impact
the safe-sight triangle of Ocean Avenue and Federal Highway as depicted
on the site plan. Provide detailed drawings of the fountain. Please correct
all plans accordingly.
174. Increase prominence of architectural banding components at vertical
transitions of the project, or improve plan details to show compliance with
draft CRA Urban Design Guidelines (see Section 5, page 73 of document).
175. Consider more defined roof line breaks approximately every 150 feet, such
as along SE 2 Street, to show compliance with draft CRA Urban Design V
Guidelines (see Section 5, page 75 of document).
176. Enhance elevation drawings to show details/documentation representing ~
compliance with "Facade Rhythm" standards of the draft CRA Urban
Design Guidelines, to specifically identify vertical repeat bands, vertical
repeat reveals, and vertical color changes (see Section 5, page 77 of
document).

177. Staff recommends that all single, isolated four-panel windows above the 45 t/
foot step-back, on all four elevations, be provided an awning matching the
color of those of the first floor retail spaces.
178. Staff recommends elimination of retail/residential loading #5,
reconfiguration of back of house operations for "retail D", in order that
retail loading #4 can accommodate all of "retail D". Residential loading #6
can then handle loading needs for building #2. This should enhance the SE
2nd A venue building elevations.

plan sheet CE-3. Please verify correct numbers and revise all sheets
accordingly.
180. Please provide written permission from BellSouth for the proposed
construction around their existing in-ground facilities on the site and their
ability to maintain the facilities with your proposed design.
181. Please provide appropriate calculations of site area. A quick analysis /
appears to indicate a site area less than 195,000 square feet or less than 4.5
acres, which places the project approximately 20 dwelling units over
maximum density. Please provide necessary breakdown of on-site land area
calculations and dwelling units to assure compliance.
182. Store fronts or residential units would be preferred along 4th Street to /
optimize the streetscape; however, alternatively, and at minimum, provide
display windows or recessed features similarly enhanced (with retail
merchandise, art, promotional info, etc.) for pedestrian benefit. Amend
plans to show and detail accordingly. Provide a detail drawing for adequate

We have reviewed the eRA Design Guidelines - Chapter 5
page 73. We comply with the Blank Wall guidelines since
we do not have large areas of blank wall. We also comply
with the intent of the Fenestration Ratio section because of
the large amounts of glazing within the design. The
architectural banding components are vertical transitions
174 are very promenent design elements.
We have reviewed CRA Design Guidelines- Chapter 5
page 75. We comply with roofline break requirements
every 150 feet. The 4th street facade Silhouette is not a
factor because it is only five stories, there is a significant
break in silhouette at the top due to the glass railings, and
the towers themselves break up the silhouette. In addition,
we have raised the corner roof elements along Federal at
Second and at Ocean to further break up the building's
175 silhouette.
We have reviewed the CRA Design Guidelines - Chapter 5
page 77. We believe we meet the intent of the "Facyade
Rhythm" standards as presented. While it is difficult to
point out each of the scaling elements from the list of
choices, the design of our building has numerous changes
in plane, color, opening sizes, modules, etc. to show
176 compliance with the intent of the ordinance.
Awnings were innapropriate for this style of project. In the
spirit of the comment, we have a design element over the
specific windows to create desired effect of breaking up a
177 blank wall effect.
178 Retail/ Residential loading has been reworked, see A-01
179 Data has been coordinated.
180 Letter has been submitted on June 22,2005.
The proposed site plan is not over density with the
proposed vacations submitted June 22nd, 2005. If for any
reason that any of the vacancies are not received, then we
will reduce density accordingly to comply with 80 units to
181 the acre.
The fourth street elevation has been enlivened with
freestanding columns, fabric awnings, decorative lighting,
display windows for the display of merchandise or art, and
landscaping. We have prepared a rendering to better
demonstrate these efforts and design features which will
182 be provided for the TART Meeting.

I assumed approximately 10,000 square feet of the retail would go for restaurant use, based upon prior projections. My

Subject: Arches Utilities concurrency
Pete:
I wrote the paragraph (see below) for Utilties Concurrency for the Arches major site plan modification. As
you can recall, the Arches proposes the following:
38,599 square feet of retail
224 1-bdrm units
154 2-bdrm units
Please review the following paragraph for accuracy and make changes as needed...
The purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities would supply
potable water for this project (projected to a total of 125,000 gallons per day). Local piping and infrastructure
improvements ffiaJ' [Mazzella, Pete) will be required for the project, dependent upon the final project configuration
and fire-flow demands. These local improvements would be the responsibility of the site developer and would be
reviewed at the time of permitting. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is currently available
to serve the project total of 125,000 gallons per day, subject to the applicant making a firm reservation of capacity,
following approval of the site plan.

The Arches
Eric,
I had one additional comment regarding storm sewer, this comment can be handled at the time of permitting. Apparently
the Traffic Statement and Notice of Concurrency also have yet to be adequately addressed.
At this time, for the Site Plan, Public Works/Engineering/Utilities have no technical issues which cannot be addressed at
the time of permitting.
Please be aware that the above is ONLY for the Site Plan. There are three abandonment requests on the table. While the
abandonment of the alley and of SE 1 st Ave. are not problematic, we are NOT supportive of the developer's request to
abandon the public sidewalk along Ocean Ave., SE 4th St. and SE 2nd Ave.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

17. Any trees to be relocated from areas maintained by Forestry & Grounds (i.e.
foxtails on Ocean) shall be coordinated through the Public WorksJForestry
& Grounds Division. Relocation will include prior root pruning as is
appropriate for each tree/palm species, relocation of tree/palm to a specific
location, staking, thorough watering in to remove all air pockets and future
watering for a minimum of 6 months or as necessary [maybe longer (1 year)
for oaks and shade trees] for establishment of the newly relocated
trees/palms.
18. Per the LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2. Ficus species are not
permitted.
19. The Live Oaks proposed adjacent to the loading area on the southeast corner
of the property and the west Live Oak at the loading area on the southwest
corner of the property may create a vertical conflict for high profile vehicles
using these areas. Staff recommends the use of the High-Rise or Cathedral
cultivars for these areas or the use of a palm species to minimize conflicts.
20. Staff recommends the use of root barriers for canopy trees within five (5)
feet of pavement or concrete to minimize future heaving as the trees mature.
21. There are existing power lines along the east and south sides of the property.
Use FPL's "Plant the Right Tree in the Right Place" for determining

22. Proposed landscaping and hardscaping from the property lines to the curbs
will be the maintenance responsibility of The Arches property owners
association.
23. Detail the soil structure in the hole and vicinity for the proposed tree grates.
Trees will not be healthy if the structural soil under the pavers, paved areas
is not replaced with proper soil etc. for the tree planting areas. The trees
need root space and air space in the soil. The space between the ground
surface at which the tree is planted and the underneath side of the tree grate
will impact the need for upright structure at the inside circle of the hole
opening. If the space left between the tree diameter and the grate hole
diameter is such that a child's foot can be caught in it then the upright
protection is needed.
24. Provide details for the proposed tree grates
25. Indicate disposition of City-owned street lights. These lights belong to and
are maintained by the City of Boynton Beach.
26. Please provide information on the proposed abandonment of SE 1 st Avenue

RE:
Review Comments
Major Site Plan Modificati
The Arches
File No. MSPM 05-008
The above referenced Site Plans, received on June 28, 2005, was reviewed for Public Works,
Engineering, and Utilities against the requirements outlined in the City of Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances. Following are our comments with the appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations
(LDR) referenced.
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).
2. Will compactors or dumpsters be used for trash pickup? If compactors, will they be front or rear
load? Rear load is preferred for the trash pickup area off NE 4th St.
3. Please provide additional details on the plans and acknowledge, in writing, that containers will be
accessible for pickup on trash days.
4. How will bulk trash and recycling be handled?
5. Provide a minimum turning radius of 60 ft. to approach the dumpster. Provide a minimum backing
clearance of 60 ft. (measured from the front edge of the dumpster pad.) (LDR, Chapter 2, Section
11.J.2.b.) It does not appear that turning movements are available at the two trash areas adjacent to
the front entrance off Federal Hwy. Additionally, Staff has safety concerns about making multiple
perpendicular movements across the main entrance.
PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC
6. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from
Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering.
7. Staff recommends placing an additional stop bar and stop sign at the eastbound exit from the parking
garage due to limited sight distance for southbound traffic in the courtyard area.
8. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate
sheets.
Department of Public Works/Engineering Division Memo No. 05-085

ENGINEERING
9. Please note that changes or revIsions to these plans may generate additional comments.
Acceptance of these plans during the Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) process does not
ensure that additional comments may not be generated by the Commission and at permit review.
10. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets.
11. Correct the graphic scale on the Site Plan (Hirsch Associates) to reflect use of a 30 scale.
12. 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. Glare which is readily perceptible at any point at or beyond the property on which the use is
located is prohibited (LDR, Chapter 2, Section 4.N.7). Lighting shall be directed away from any
residential uses (LDR, Chapter 2, Section 4.N.7). If possible please provide photometrics as part of
your TART plan submittals - it is much easier to identify and correct any deficiencies now than while
you are waiting on a permit!
13. It may 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).
14. Show sight triangles on the Landscape Plans (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) Reference
FDOT Standard Index 546 for the sight triangles along Federal Highway. Use 25-ft. sight triangles
for all other driveways and intersections.
15. Indicate, by note on the Landscape Plan, that within the sight triangles there shall be an unobstructed
cross-visibility at a level between 2.5' and 8' above the pavement (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5.H.).
16. The medians on Federal Hwy. and Ocean Ave. have existing irrigation, plant material, and
hardscaping belonging to the City of Boynton Beach. Any damage to the irrigation system and/or
plant material as a result of the contractor's operations shall be repaired or replaced to the equivalent
or better grade, as approved by the City of Boynton Beach, and shall be the sole responsibility of the
developer. The contractor shall notify and coordinate with the City of Boynton Beach Forestry &
Grounds Division of Public Works a minimum of six (6) weeks in advance of any underground
activities. Please acknowledge this notice in your comments response and add a note to the
appropriate plan sheets with the above stated information.
17. Any trees to be relocated from areas maintained by Forestry & Grounds (i.e. foxtails on Ocean) shall
be coordinated through the Public Works/Forestry & Grounds Division. Relocation will include prior
root pruning as is appropriate for each tree/palm species, relocation of tree/palm to a specific
location, staking, thorough watering in to remove all air pockets and future watering for a minimum of
6 months or as necessary [maybe longer (1 year) for oaks and shade trees] for establishment of the
newly relocated trees/palms.

18. Per the LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2. Ficus species are not permitted.
19. The Live Oaks proposed adjacent to the loading area on the southeast corner of the property and the
west Live Oak at the loading area on the southwest corner of the property may create a vertical
conflict for high profile vehicles using these areas. Staff recommends the use of the High-Rise or
Cathedral cultivars for these areas or the use of a palm species to minimize conflicts.
20. Staff recommends the use of root barriers for canopy trees within 5-ft. of pavement or concrete to
minimize future heaving as the trees mature.
21. There are existing power lines along the east and south sides of the property. Use FPL's "Plant the
Right Tree in the Right Place" for determining species and location of trees, at maturity, specified
adjacent to power lines.
22. Proposed landscaping and hardscaping from the property lines to the curbs will be the maintenance
responsibility of The Arches property owners association.
23. Detail the soil structure in the hole and vicinity for the proposed tree grates. Trees will not be healthy
if the structural soil under the pavers, paved areas is not replaced with proper soil etc. for the tree
planting areas. The trees need root space and air space in the soil. The space between the ground
surface at which the tree is planted and the underneath side of the tree grate will impact the need for
upright structure at the inside circle of the hole opening. If the space left between the tree diameter
and the grate hole diameter is such that a child's foot can be caught in it then the upright protection is
needed.
24. Provide details for the proposed tree grates
25. Indicate disposition of City-owned street lights. These lights belong to and are maintained by the City
of Boynton Beach.
26. Please provide information on the proposed abandonment of SE 1st Avenue (a 40-foot R/W) and/or
SE 1st Place (a 20-foot alley). Existing utilities servicing this quadrant are located in both of these
roadways, any proposed re-route must be adequate and hydraulically workable. Please demonstrate
this for all support utilities including gas main re-route, electric and telephone.
27. Provide an engineer's certification on the Drainage Plan as specified in LOR, Chapter 4, Section
7.F.2.
28. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LOR, Chapter 6, Article
IV, Section 5 will be required at the time of permitting.
29. Indicate by note that catch basin and manhole covers shall be bicycle proof (LOR, Chapter 6, Article
IV, Section 5.A.2.g.)
30. Show how drainage will be handled in the plaza area on the south side of Ocean Ave.
31. Proposed 54-in. storm sewer is shown tying into existing 48-in. storm sewer. This will create
potential surcharging of the proposed sewer in the event of a large storm event. Please re-evaluate
the proposed design using a 48-in. line.

32. Provide drainage calculations showing that the first ~ in. is being "pre-treated" on site and showing
how the hydraulic load complies with the Downtown Master Stormwater Plan.
33. Paving, Drainage and Site details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All
engineering construction details shall be in accordance with the applicable City of Boynton Beach
Standard Drawings and the "Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" and
will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application.
UTILITIES
34. Please provide a timeline that clearly illustrates when water and sewer services will be required to
serve the proposed project. Your starting date for the timeline should be the date of City Commission
approval. Also provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the setting
of the first water meter. This timeline will be used to determine the adequacy of water and
wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon the project's completion, so please be as
accurate as possible.
35. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the Site Plan and Landscape Plans (as well as
the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may determine which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may
interfere with utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility
easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots and branches will
not impact those utilities within the easement in the foreseeable future. The LOR, Chapter 7.5,
Article I, Section 18.1 gives public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility
services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.
36. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
37. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 3,000 g.p.m. with
20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in the LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement
imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)).
38. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200
feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. The Water and Sewer Plan meets this condition as it
reflects feed lines to the Fire Sprinkler Rooms (one for each tower structure), which will satisfy the
vertical coverage requirement.
39. The CODE, Section 26-34(E) requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for this project either
upon the request for the Department's signature on the Health Department application forms or within
seven (7) days of site plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon
final meter size, or expected demand. Please note the reservation fee for the prior extension is past
due and must still be paid in arrears back to January 2005.
40. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable water. As other sources
are readily available City water shall not be allowed for irrigation.
41. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility
easements. Please show all proposed easements on the engineering drawings, using a minimum
width of 12 feet. This include those utility lines shown between building structures offset and parallel

to old SE 1 sl Avenue. The easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as
stated in CODE Sec. 26-33(a
42. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities, on condition that the
systems be fully completed, and given to the City Utilities Department before the first permanent
meter is set. Note that setting of a permanent water meter is a prerequisite to obtaining the
Certificate of Occupancy.
43. A building permit for this project shall not be issued until this Department has approved the plans for
the water and/or sewer improvements required to service this project, in accordance with the CODE,
Section 26-15.
44. Water meter and sizes are not shown. Please provide engineering calculations, or any explanation
of the service lines and tentative meter sizes required for this project.
45. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the building, and
the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-207.
46. Tie the proposed 12-in. water main at the northeast corner of the project into the existing 6-in. water
main with a 12-in. x 12-in. tee, 12-in. x 6-in. reducer and a 6-in. gate valve.
47. There is an existing 20-in. force main along the south side of East Ocean Avenue, from Lift Station
#356, the main station serving the east side of the city. This line carries approximately 2.6 mgd as
the wastewater traverses westward to the west side of the 1-95, then southward to the Southeast
Regional WTP at the LWDD L-30 Canal area. Please acknowledge this information and add a note
to the plans regarding protection of this line during construction.
48. 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.
49. 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.

THE ARCHES
1st Review Planning
July 13, 2005
MSPM 05-008
At the technical advisory review team (TART) meeting, provide written responses to all staffs
comments and questions. Submit 12 sets of revised plans. Each set should be folded and stapled.
At the technical advisory review team meeting, also provide a full set of reduced drawings, sized
812 inches by 11 inches of each plan. Save each plan to a compact disk and submit that to staff as
well.
Staff considers these plans to be at the final stage of site plan review, the last stage prior to permit
review. As such, all comments need to be addressed and shown on the plans prior to the
Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) meeting. Any information not shown on the plans at
the TART meeting would be required to be shown at the time of permitting.
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the new site plan is publicly advertised in
accordance with Ordinance 04-007.
Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding request to rezone
from CBD to MU-H (LUAR 05-008). Indicate as such on the site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of
12).
Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the corresponding request for a height
exception (HTEX 05-006). Indicate as such on the site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of 12).
Approval of the site plan is contingent upon the successful abandonment (ABAN 05-004) of
Southeast 1 sl Avenue and Southeast 1 sl Place (ABAN 05-005). Indicate as such on the site plan
tabular data (sheet 1 of 12). Please provide the City with responses from each public service
provider, namely, Florida Power & Light, Bellsouth, Florida Public Utilities Company, Adelphia
Cable, and Comcast Cable. Also, the survey should be updated to include SE 1 sl Avenue as
abandoned and included part of the subject property.
Submit a traffic impact analysis prior to the TART meeting. The analysis must be approved by
the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency purposes (Chapter 4. Section 8.F.). The
proposed uses and intensities on the traffic study must be consistent with the proposed uses and
intensities itemized on the site plan (sheet 1 of 12 ).
In addition to the current survey, submit an updated boundary survey showing the inclusion of
Southeast 1 sl Avenue into the boundaries of the subject property. Staff will use this area in
conjunction with the private lands to confirm total project acreage and proposed density. The
total project acreage should match the site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of 12).
Because there are multiple lots, a unity oftitle will be required to join the lots together. This shall
be executed prior to the issuance of a building permit.
According to Chapter 2, Section 6.F.5, the building may be constructed to a maximum of 150
feet. However, along Federal Highway, the maximum height is 45 feet, above which, the
building must be stepback a minimum of 10 feet for each additional 50 feet of height. If the
building is 150 feet tall, then three (3) stepbacks would be required. Revise the building
elevations to show stepbacks.
A drainage statement is required prior to the Technical Review Committee meeting (Chapter 4,
Section 7.F.2.).
The dimensions of the roadway (pavement), drive aisles, back-up areas, and rights-of-way are
subject to the Engineering Division of Public Works' review and approval.
If the intent is to abandon Southeast 1 sl Avenue, then all ground floor plans (i.e. site plan,
landscape plan) should show the right-of-way as abandoned and it vacated area, included within
the boundaries of the subject project. The roadway (earmarked to be abandoned) should be
depicted on the site plan with lightly dashed lines, different from the heavier, solid property line.
Revise all affected plans to show new parcel boundaries.
The site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of 12) shall include the following elements: Square footage
and percentage distribution of the total project site, including areas proposed for landscaped open
space, vehicular use areas, other paved areas, and building coverage and total coverage (Chapter
4, Section 7.EA.).
On the site plan (sheet I of 12) indicate the minimum floor area of the smallest residential unit to
ensure compliance with Chapter 2, Section 5.F.5. In addition, the average area of all residential
units must not be below 850 square feet.
Provide a typical drawing of each residential unit type: 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom (Chapter 4,
Section 7.D.1.).
Indicate the number of bedrooms per unit type within every Unit Areas Matrix table (i.e. "Unit 1
- 1 Bdrm").
Provide a Unit Areas Matrix on sheet 7 of 12.
Question: Are any restaurant uses proposed for this development? If so, their square footage and
parking demand should be itemized on the site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of 12).
Question: Were the meeting rooms included within the retail square footage and their respective
parking demand?
Question: What is the object proposed at the northeast corner of the property?
The site plan tabular data (sheet SP-I) should accurately indicate the number of required parking
s aces. The re uired arkin ro'ects is as follows:

Mixed-use developments may utilize the Urban Land Institute's Shared Parking Analysis to
derive its required parking.
The site plan (sheet 1 of 12) shows a proposed off-site, surface parking lot. Is the intent to use
these spaces to comply with the project's required parking?
On the site plan (sheet 1 of 12), graphically show the building setback proposed along the west
property line.
On the site plan (sheet 1 of 12), label "2nd Avenue" as "Southeast 2nd Avenue", "4th Street" as
"Southeast 4th Street", and "Ocean Avenue" as "East Ocean Avenue".
On the site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of 12), indicate that a minimum of 15% of the site shall be
of pervious surface (Chapter 2, Section 5.F.5). Also, indicate the proposed pervious surface. The
pervious surface seems to be below this figure. If so, increase the amount of pervious (green)
areas. The use of Eco-stone alone, will not meet the intent of the code.
Show the location of fire hydrants on the site plan (sheet 1 of 12).
All elevation pages shall indicate the exterior finishes, roof material, paint manufacturer's name,
and color codes. Staff recommends using a color schedule (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.). This would
include the pool pavilion as well.
Provide paint swatches that will represent the colors as depicted on the elevation pages (Chapter
4, Section 7.D.).
Provide awning samples (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
Provide colored elevations and / or rendering of four (4) building sides at the Technical Advisory
Review Team meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
Dimension the height of the tunnel as shown on the Federal Highway elevations (sheet 9 of 12)
and the SE 4th Street elevations (sheet II of 12).
Question: Will there be a doorway between the 2nd story of the parking garage and the 2nd story
of the Retail A?
Questions: Are the circular objects shown on the 5th floor plan (sheet 5 of 12) representing trees?
If so, how would they be maintained? There is no opening that leads to this 5th story atrium.
Why are there no trees shown on the roof of the building proposed closest to Federal Highway?
The removal/relocation of trees is subject to review and approval of the City Forester /
Environmentalist.
The trees proposed within the streetscape shall have a minimum trunk of four (4) caliper inches
and seven (7) feet of vertical clearance for visibility (Chapter 2, Section 5.F. 8.a.(2).).
To add color and soften sidewalk paving with plants, flower containers containing blooming
annuals or perennials are encouraged to be planted and maintained along facades or new
buildings fronting on arterial roadways (Chapter 2, Section 5.F.8.e.). A row of planters or flower
containers is required on the sidewalks along Federal Highway and Ocean Avenue. This could
occur at the base of each supporting column.
Streetscape trees shall be regularly spaced. The spacing of the streetscape trees shall be 20 to 25
feet on-center (Chapter 2, Section 5.F.lO.a.).
Obtain consent from the Engineering Division of Public Works for all plant material proposed
outside the property line and within the public right-of-way. Also, these trees / plants cannot be
included within the plant list. Provide a separate plant list that indicates quantity and species of
plant material proposed within the rights-of-way.
Place a note on the overall landscape plan (sheet LP-l and LP-2) that tree guards for streetscape
trees shall be placed adjacent to the curb where feasible (Chapter 2, Section 5.F.8.b.(4).
Landscaping at main project entrances shall contain a signature tree at both sides of the entrance
(Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.N.). A signature tree is a tree with blossoms or natural color
other than green intended to beautify project entrances and contribute to the city's image with this
element of aesthetic conformity. Signatures trees include Yellow Elder, Tibouchina Granulosa,
and Bougainvillea. Note that signature trees do not contribute toward the total number of
required perimeter trees (Chapter 7.5, Article 2, Section 5.N.).
Provide an overall plant list that incorporates information derived from all three (3) subordinate
plant lists. This would include the data from LP-I, LP-2, and LP-3. Please categorize the plant
material into the following: Shade trees, palm trees, and shrubs / groundcover.
Fifty percent (50%) of all site landscape materials must be native species (Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5.P). Please categorize as follows: Shade trees, Palm trees, Shrubs & Groundcover.
All trees, if proposed as trees, must be at least 12 feet in height and three (3) caliper inches at the
time of their installation (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2.). This would apply to the Mayan
Coconut palm trees.
All shrubs and hedges are required to be at minimum 24 inches in height, 24 inches in spread, and
planted with tip-to-tip spacing measured immediately after planting to adequately cover the
planted areas on the site (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.CA.).
Place a note on all landscape plan plant lists indicating that mulch other than Cypress shall be
used and maintained for landscape purposes (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.8.).
Place a note on the site plan (sheet 1 of 12) that sidewalks shall be Hollandstone pavers, red /
charcoal color mix by Paver Systems Inc. or equal, laid in a 45 herringbone pattern to continue
the design elements in place along Federal Highway (Chapter 2, Section 5.F.8.d.(2).
Provide a typical drawing that includes the height and color / material of all proposed
freestanding outdoor lighting poles. The design, style, and illumination level shall be compatible
with the building design (height) and shall consider safety, function, and aesthetic value (Chapter
9, Section 1O.F.1.). Show the location of these freestanding outdoor lighting poles on both the
site plan and landscape plan.
All proposed wall signage is subject to the Community Redevelopment Agency Board and City
Commission review and approval. Staff recommends that you submit a master sign program that
shows the number, location, dimensions, exterior finish, and color(s) of all signs (Chapter 2,
Section 5.H.9.). The sign program would address all types of signs, including commercial wall
signs, identification signs, residential subdivision signs, freestanding monument signs, canopy
signs, way-finding signs, directional signs, and all other signs as regulated by Chapter 21 of the
Land Development Regulations.
Provide locations for covered bike racks throughout retail portion of the site plan (sheet 1 of 12).
Staff recommends incorporating on-street parallel parking spaces into the design of Southeast 2nd
Avenue.
The subject site is located along Palm Tran Bus Route 1. A bus stop should be shown on the site
plan (sheet 1 of 12), in particular, along Federal Highway. Staff recommends that it be a
substantial and attractive bus stop, possibly constructed within the build-to area of the subject
property .
The landscape plan shows two (2) Royal Palm trees are proposed at the southeast corner of the
property. Their planter areas are not shown on the site plan. Please ensure that the both plans
match. Also, staff recommends installing tall growing trees into the design of the public plazas at
each corner of the subject property. The trees should be of substantial size, in order to help break
up the building mass. The proposed Royal palm trees (12 feet of grey wood) are quite small in
comparison with a 1 50-foot tall building.
Staff recommends incorporating benches into the design of the public plaza proposed at the
corners of the subject property.
Staff recommends adding decorative railing for all apartment / condo balconies.
Staff recommends utilizing aluminum framework inside the "window" openings of the parking
garage in order to enhance their appearance.
Regarding the tunnel opening proposed interior to the project but visible from Federal Highway-
staff recommends "rounding" the opening so that it looks more like an archway rather than a
square tunnel. Also, decorative molding and cornice work would really enhance its appearance.
This "smoothing out the edges" should occur at the tunnel opening proposed on Southeast 4th
Street.
Staff recommends using the same awnings (proposed along Federal Highway) throughout SE 4th
Street and SE 2nd Avenue.
Staff applauds the developer for proposing a fountain at the northeast corner of the property.
However, the fountain should be setback so as not to impact the safe-sight triangle of Ocean
Avenue and Federal Highway.
