CODE, Section 10-26 (a).
2. Provide a minimum outside turning radius of 55 ft. to allow turning
movements for Solid Waste (and Fire/Rescue) inside the proposed t/
community. Using AutoTurn (or similar), show on the plans that the
required turning movements are provided. Particular attention should be
given to the entryways/gates, and the associated call-boxes, etc., allow
ingress and egress for Solid Waste and Fire/Rescue.
PUBLIC WORKS - Traffic
Comments:
3. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance V
Standards Review) from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering.
4. The traffic study should address the possible addition of a dedicated V
northbound right-turn only (deceleration lane) into the proposed community.
5. 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, V
directional arrows and "Do Not Enter" signage, etc. See City Standard
Drawings "K" Series for striping details.
6. Provide a secondary access point to the community. Although a full access /
point for residents is desirable, at a minimum a restricted access point for
Fire/Rescue shall be provided. Multiple points of access are available along
the north property line into Grove Plaza. The northeast comer is
recommended as the point of access as it connects directly through to
Hypoluxo Rd.
/
7. Show location of call-box on the plans ./
8. Minimum parking stall dimensions are 9 Y2 feet x 18 1;2 feet for 900 and 9 Y2
feet x 25 feet for parallel parking. Handicap parking stall dimensions are 12 ~
feet x 18 Y2 feet with an adjacent 5 feet handicap access path (City Standard
Drawings K-1 and K-3.) Revise drawings accordingly.

recommends that the round-about be one-way only, with signing and
pavement markings clearly indicating this configuration. Add "One-way
Only" signs across from the three arms of the round-about and place painted V-
or thermo-plastic arrows showing direction of travel.
10. Ensure adequate space is provided between the stop bars and gates on the V
north and south arms of the round-about to prevent conflicts for traffic
exiting the site.
11. Relocate the "Handicap Parking Only" sign to the back side of the sidewalk V
for the handicap parking stall at the club house (Building 1000.)
12. It is recommended that double yellow lane separators be placed at the t/
northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast comers of the roadway
around the exterior of the proposed development.
13. Individual unit parking in front of the garage door is only 8 feet before a car
encroaches into the drive aisle. This does not allow sufficient room for V
anyone to back out of their garage unit safely. Staff recommends that this
condition be re-evaluated to provide additional space for parking and
maneuvering in front of the garages.

services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date /
for the time line 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 time line 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. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and
landscape plans (as well as the Paving & Drainage Plan Sheets (Sheets C-3 /
& C-4) and the Water & Sewer Plan Sheets (Sheets C-5 & C-6)) 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 LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives

Noted - this issue will be resolved prior
to permit application.
A minimum outside turning radius of
55ft is provided throughout the
circulation system within the site. This
is illustrated on the Fire Hydrant and
Fire Truck Access Route Plan which is
enclosed. This plan uses an electronic
turning data overlay on the site layout.
A Traffic Study prepared by MTP
Group, Inc was submitted with this
application. A Notice of Concurrency
has been issued by Palm Beach County
and is attached to this submission.
MTP Group, Inc has re-evaluated the
possible addition of an exclusive
northbound right-turn deceleration lane
along Lawrence Road into the
proposed development. It has been
confirmed that Palm Beach County
requires an exclusive right-turn lane
when there are 75 or more vehicles
turning right into the site. As
presented in Figure 6 of the Traffic
Impact Study, the proposed
development has the potential for 38
vehicles turning right into the site
during the p.m. peak hour. Therefore,
an exclusive right-turn lane is not
required.
The revised Site Plan and Civil Plans
identifY all necessary traffic control
devices. These include a stop sign/bar
for egress on to Lawrence Road, yield
signs for egress at the front entrance
gates and stop signs/bars for egress
from the internal drive aisles. In
addition, directional arrows and lane
separators at the four primary comers
of the site have been provided.

adjacent 5 feet handicap access path (City Standard
Drawings K-1 and K-3.) Revise drawings accordingly.
9. The entryway round-about has a pavement width of 23 feet,
which is sufficient for two-way traffic, although the plans do
not confirm this. Staff recommends that the round-about be
one-way only, with signing and pavement markings clearly
indicating this configuration. Add "One-way Only" signs
across from the three arms of the round-about and place
painted or thermo-plastic arrows showing direction of travel.

towards the eastern end of the northern
boundary. This access will be used for
fire/rescue purposes only. It is
considered that restricting the use of
this access will assist in minimizing
conflict between residential and
commercial traffic associated with the
uses to the north and will also maintain
a more defined individual entrance to
the proposed development on Lawrence
Road.
The revised Site Plan identifies the
location ofthe call-box. A call-box!
knox box will be located at the north-
eastern side of the entrance roundabout.
This location will allow queueing of
visitor vehicles without interfering with
the "resident only" southern entrance.
In any case, the width of the roadway at
the roundabout will enable passing if
necessary.
The revised Site Plan and Architectural
Plans modify the parking dimensions
to comply with these requirements. The
length of internal garage spaces has
been increased by 2 inches to a
minimum of 18 Y2ft and the parallel
spaces have been increased in length to
a minimum of 25 feet. Proposed
handicap parking also complies with
the requirements.
The revised Site Plan designates the
entryway roundabout as a one-way
roadway and will incorporate
directional arrows. Signage indicating
one-way traffic and directional arrows
have also been included in the revised
Site Plan.
The revised Site Plan modifies the
proposed gate design. The gate system
has been modified to include two
swing gates which will open in
different directions and the width of
each lane has been increased to a
minimum of 20ft to enable emergency
vehicles to enter either side where
necessary.
In addition, the gates have been set
further to the north and south

The revised Site Plan has been
amended accordingly.
The intention of the rear drive aisles is
to create a site layout that separates
vehicular and pedestrian traffic,
removes vehicular traffic from the main
frontage of dwellings and avoid
excessive roadway widths within the
development in order to maximize
landscaped area. The proposed 25ft
drive aisles provide adequate
manoeuvring area for ingress and
egress to garages. Whilst a reversing
movement from the proposed garages
will encroach on the drive aisle, traffic
within these aisles will be limited to
residential traffic associated with
garages within that aisle rather than any
through traffic from the remainder of
the development. Given the likely low
traffic generation within each aisle, the
potential for conflict is low and does
not warrant increase of roadway width
at the expense of landscape area. Such
a layout is typical of neo-traditional
development and is widely considered
acceptable.

should be limited to low-density single-family detached
dwellings, with a gross density of not more than three and

the project proposes single-family attached dwellings but

RESPONSE
Problems and Opportunities" section of
the supporting documents for the
Future Land Use Element and relates to
two main issues, being the density of
the proposal, and dwelling typology. A
detailed Justification Statement,
prepared by Land Design South, was
submitted with this application and
responds directly to these points in
terms of urban form, compatibility with
surrounding properties and relationship
with the overall planning context for
the area. In the interests of brevity,
these arguments will not be duplicated
in their entirety.
In summary, with regard to density, the
subject site currently contains single
family dwellings resulting in a density
of 0.64 DUlAC which is inconsistent
with the established land use pattern in
the vicinity. It is considered that the
proposal will result in a density that is
more compatible with the surrounding
land use pattern and whilst resulting in
a higher density than immediately
adjoining residential properties will
perform a transitional and buffering
role from the C3 zone and commercial
development to the north to the RlA
zone and residential development to the
south. Development at a density of 3.5
units per acre immediately adjoining a
commercial centre with good access to
the regional road network is considered
to be inconsistent with the objectives of
the Comprehensive Plan in terms of
providing a sustainable urban form.
For these reasons, it is respectfully
submitted that the recommendation of
the supplemental material defines the
site context too narrowly ie. it
acknowledges only single family
residential development to the south
and east, failing to recognize existence
of commercial development to the
north and the need that this
development generates for a transitional
development type and density.
In terms of the dwelling typology, it is
considered that a residential PUD

112. At the technical advisory review team (TART) meeting, provide written

114. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the new site plan is publicly
advertised in accordance with Ordinance 04-007.
l15. Approval of this project IS contingent upon the approval of the
accompanying request for annexation (ANEX 06-003) and land use
amendment / rezoning (LUAR 06-004).
116. The following excerpt is from Land Use Problems and Opportunities of the
Comprehensive Plan: "Planning Area 6. C. Unincorporated Parcels
Adjoining Northwest Corner of the City (presently unincorporated). With
exception of the eight (8)-acre parcel adjacent to Hypolweo (which is now
Grove Plaza), these parcels should be annexed and placed under the Low
Density Residential land use category, in order to ensure compatibility with
existing and future residential land uses in the vicinity. Annexation of these
properties will square off the City's boundary and will allow the City to
control the use of these parcels. Development of these parcels should be
compatible with existing low-density single family dwellings in this area.
Development of the parcels that lie to the south of the above-mentioned
parcel should be limited to low-density single-family detached dwellings,
with a gross density of not more than three and one-half (3.5) units per
acre". Therefore, the proposed density of 9.63 acres is not considered low
density residential and would be inconsistent with the residential densities
of the surrounding properties. Staff will be recommending denial of the
request for annexation, land use amendment / rezoning, and subdivision
master plan. Also, the project proposes single-family attached dwellings
but the above-referenced policy recommends single-family detached
dwellings. While staff can make concessions to the type of dwelling units
proposed (i.e. an appropriate mix of single-family attached and detached),
staff cannot support the project density as proposed.

Thanks for the quick reply.
We have a sewage lift station just south of this parcel, in Jonathan's Grove, which should have sufficient capacity for 90
townhomes. A gravity sewer line extension will have to be constructed by the new project.
A 12" water line is available in Lawrence Road which will provide sufficient fire protection to the site. On-site lines will have
to be adequately sized.
Water and sewer capacity will be available, provided they make a reservation. The anticipated reservation fee for 90
townhomes is (90 x $138.60=) $12,474.
Please let me know if anything else is needed.

I just found out that you may be referring to a housing project, not a roadway project. Please send details and I'll
comment. In the meantime, I'm retracting my earlier comments regarding concurrency.

The County's Lawrence Road project has been coordinated through this office to allow for adjustment and/or
replacement of some of our piping that conflicted with the new design.
The project will not cause any additional direct demands upon our system, from a capacity standpoint. Therefore,
concurrency for water and sewer is not an issue.
Thanks

New Site Plan - 1 st Review
Lawrence Road Project
File No. NWSP 06-006
TO:
DATE:
RE:
The above referenced Site Plans, received on December 14, 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) for information
regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section 10-26 (a).
2. Provide a minimum outside turning radius of 55 ft. to allow turning movements for Solid Waste (and
Fire/Rescue) inside the proposed community. Using AutoTurn (or similar), show on the plans that
the required turning movements are provided. Particular attention should be given to the
entryways/gates, and the associated call-boxes, etc., allow ingress and egress for Solid Waste and
Fire/Rescue.
PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC
3. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from
Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering.
4. The traffic study should address the possible addition of a dedicated northbound right-turn only
(deceleration lane) into the proposed community.
5. 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 liDo Not Enter" signage, etc.
See City Standard Drawings ilK" Series for striping details.
6. Provide a secondary access point to the community. Although a full access point for residents is
desirable, at a minimum a restricted access point for Fire/Rescue shall be provided. Multiple points
of access are available along the north property line into Grove Plaza. The northeast corner is
recommended as the point of access as it connects directly through to Hypoluxo Rd.
7. Show location of call-box on the plans.

8. Minimum parking stall dimensions are 9 ~-ft. x 18 ~- ft. for 900 and 9 ~-ft. x 25-ft. for parallel
parking. Handicap parking stall dimensions are 12-ft x 18 ~-ft. with an adjacent 5-ft. handicap
access path (City Standard Drawings K-1 and K-3.) Revise drawings accordingly.
9. The entryway round-about has a pavement width of 23-ft., which is sufficient for two-way traffic,
although the plans do not confirm this. Staff recommends that the round-about be one-way only, with
signing and pavement markings clearly indicating this configuration. Add "One-way Only" signs
across from the three arms of the round-about and place painted or thermo-plastic arrows showing
direction of travel.
10. Ensure adequate space is provided between the stop bars and gates on the north and south arms of
the round-about to prevent conflicts for traffic exiting the site.
11. Relocate the "Handicap Parking Only" sign to the back side of the sidewalk for the handicap parking
stall at the club house (Building 1000.)
12. It is recommended that double yellow lane separators be placed at the northeast, northwest,
southwest, and southeast corners of the roadway around the exterior of the proposed development.
13. Individual unit parking in front of the garage door is only 8-ft. before a car encroaches into the drive
aisle. This does not allow sufficient room for anyone to back out of their garage unit safely. Staff
recommends that this condition be re-evaluated to provide additional space for parking and
maneuvering in front of the garages.
ENGINEERING
14. 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.
15. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate
sheets.
16. 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.
17.. Show proposed site lighting on the Site and Landscape plans (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.) At a
minimum site lighting will be required at the clubhouse (Building 1000.) 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 (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.a and Florida
Building Code). Provide a note that the fixtures shall be operated by photoelectrical 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 LOR, 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!
18. It may be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate
future shadowing on the parking surface (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b.)
19. Show sight triangles on the Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) Use City
Standard Drawing P-14 for the sight triangles along Lawrence Road.
20. 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-ft. and a-ft. above the pavement (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5.H.)
21. Check landscaping at the northwest corner of the property to ensure it does not affect driver sight
visibility for traffic exiting Grove Plaza.
22. Staff strongly recommends placing canopy trees far enough back from drive aisles to minimize the
potential for vertical conflicts with high-profile vehicles.
23. There are power lines along both the north and south property lines. Design landscape plan in
accordance with "The Right Tree in the Right Place" from Florida Power & Light (FPL.)
24. Indicate, by note, that trees are to be planted in accordance with FPL's "The Right Tree in the Right
Place."
25. There are plant species (indicated by code) on the plans that do not appear in the Plant Schedule.
Please correct.
26. Show quantities of all plantings shown on the two landscape plan sheets. Total quantities are
provided in the Plant Schedule, but individual quantities are not shown on the other sheets.
27. Correct sheet numbering on the Landscape plan sheets.
28. Show all water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer on the Landscape plans so that conflicts may be
identified.
29. Sidewalks adjacent to parking lots shall be continuous through all driveways and shall be 6 in. thick
within driveways (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section P.)
30. Provide an engineer's certification on the Drainage Plan as specified in LOR, Chapter 4, Section
7.F.2.
31. The storm sewer system is shown with an ultimate outfall into the County's storm sewer system on
Lawrence Road. Provide written confirmation that the County will allow this tie-in into their system.
32. Indicate by note that catch basin and manhole covers shall be bicycle proof (LOR, Chapter 6, Article
IV, Section 5.A.2.g).
33. Specify storm sewer diameters, inlets types, etc. on drainage plan. Indicate grate, rim and invert
elevations for all structures. Indicate material specifications for storm sewer.

34. Minimum diameter for all segments of the storm sewer system is 15-in. (LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV,
Section 5.A.2.aJ Correct plans accordingly.
35. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 6, Article
IV, Section 5 will be required at the time of permitting.
36. 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
37. 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.
38. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the Site plan and Landscape plans (as well as
the Paving & Drainage Plan Sheets (Sheets C-3 & C-4) and the Water & Sewer Plan Sheets (Sheets
C-5 & C-6)) 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 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.
39. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12).
40. 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)).
41. 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.
42. 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.
43. 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).

44. Minimum separation between water and sanitary sewer mains is 10-ft. in accordance with City of
Boynton Beach standards (more stringent than Health Dept. standards.) Check separation between
water and sewer throughout the project and ensure these separations are met.
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. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP.
48. 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.
49. The LOR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(0) requires Master Plans to show all utilities on or adjacent
to the proposed 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.
50. The LOR, 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.
51. The two master meters proposed at the west end of the project will not be allowed. Each building
shall be metered separately.
52. A minimum of two meters will be required for the pool, cabana, and fountain at the west end of the
project. One meter may serve the cabana and fountain, and a separate meter will be needed for the
pool.
53. One meter will be required for the club house (Building 1000) at the east end of the project.
54. Will a drinking fountain be provided at the Tot Lot at the east end of the project? If so please indicate
its location on the plans. The service should come from the closest main (between Buildings 700 and
1300) to minimize stagnation in the line.
55. Identify the stub-out adjacent to the proposed meter in the southwest corner of the property. It may
not be used for irrigation for this project. The irrigation source shall not be potable water.
56. Water services under pavement shall be Copper K (City of Boynton Beach Standard Drawing W-
14A. )
57. Staff recommends using the existing 8-in. stub-out for the sanitary sewer tie-in in the southwest
corner of the property.
58. Correct discrepancy between invert elevations for the existing manhole in the southwest corner of the
property. One call-out indicates an invert elevation of 5.75 and the other and invert elevation of 2.62
(N)/2.74 (E).

Impacts of Proposed Site Plan Upon City
Services
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the impact for services for the proposed development Lawrence Road Project located on
Lawrence Road and 71 sl Avenue South. This community will consist of90 multi-family homes.
For the purpose of this study, a statistical analysis was completed to show the percentage of increase of police
calls for service for the selected project area. A crime analysis for 2005 shows that there have been 6,169 calls
for service for zone 10 and represents 9.5% of all calls for service. This is an increase of 4% over last year's
figures. A similar community located on Lawrence Road, used as a comparison for this project, had 468 calls
for service. Twenty-two percent of these calls were responses to residential alarms. A new development
already under way, Palmyra II located just north of Knollwood PUD, with 85 single family homes will also
add to the projected increase in calls for service to Zone 10. It must be noted that the development of Palmyra I
which is located on the south west comer of Lawrence and Hypoluxo will be annexed into the city upon the
completion of Palmyra II development. In addition, Knollwood PUD, a planned single family community of
152 homes will also add to the impact of services for this zone. Based on this comparison, a projected increase
of 8% in calls for service in Zone 10 can be expected.
With the projected development throughout the city, an increase of 35% in population can be expected. Total
police calls for service have increased 66.8 % over the past 10 years.
The need for additional officers in Zone 10 is evident by the high percentage of calls for service that one
officer is currently handling. Due to new development throughout the city, all city services will be affected.
Service requirements for the police department will be impacted greatly and the demand for more police
personnel and equipment will be needed to balance the increase in population and projected traffic.
