Re: Las Ventanas (fka - Gulf Stream Lumber Site)
Boynton Beach, Florida

Dear Mr. Breese:
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. has prepared a traffic evaluation for this site,
which is located in the northwest quadrant of Woolbright Road and Federal
Highway/US 1 in Boynton Beach, Florida. Currently, the site serves as a 637,584
square foot (14.64 acres) lumber yard and it is proposed to be redeveloped to
contain a mix of residential, retail, and restaurant land uses with a buildout date of
2010. The property is located within the City of Boynton Beach Transportation
Concurrency Exemption Area (TCEA); therefore, the entire site, including the
non-residential component, is exempt from the standard transportation
concurrency requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance
Standards Ordinance (TPSO). Kimley-Horn and Associates has provided to Palm
Beach County the information typically required of projects located within a
TCEA. This includes an evaluation of trip generation, traffic assignment and
traffic volumes on the site access driveways.
Because it is also proposed to relocate the existing traffic signal on Woolbright
Road as a part of the redevelopment of this site and the Sunshine Square site on
the south side of Woolbright Road, we have been undertaking ongoing analysis of
the operation of the relocated signal. This analysis includes determining optimal
lane configurations on Woolbright Road and coordination with the signal at US 1
& Woolbright Road. This additional analysis has included ongoing coordination
with the traffic engineering consultant for Sunshine Square (Traf Tech
Engineering, Inc.), the City of Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County.

The County's letter regarding the site's consistency with the Traffic Performance
Standards Ordinance is expected to be issued after these details regarding the
operation of the relocated signal, even though the site is within the City's TCEA.
Should you have any questions regarding this information, please call me at 845-
0665.
