The modifications to these plans are based on comments made by Mr. Ed Breese. The modifications are outlined below: · Building "A" (Target) front sidewalk configuration has been modified to accommodate City of Boynton Beach staff request to provide more pedestrian amenities and foundation plantings. This submittal includes the revised site plan, landscaping plans and color elevations of the Target building. · Foundation planting around the perimeter of building "L" has been increased in order to accommodate City of Boynton Beach staff request. In order to accomplish this it was necessary to reduce the width of the drive aisle to the east of building "L" to 22 feet by making it a one-way only drive. The extra width was then added to the west sidewalk so as to incorporate more foundation planting. Along the north and south sides of building "L" the eastern half of both sidewalks was replaced by landscaping planters. This submittal includes the revised site plan, signage and stripping plans, landscaping plans and color elevations of building "L" Please, don't hesitate to contact us if you have" changes. t Very truly yours, ~ ~ &1fIJ ~CB KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INe. cD~ Oscar Tazoe, P.E.

In order to make the front of the buildings more visually appealing, the building architect added more substantial decorative columns at the NW and SW corners of the building. Due to the increased size of the columns and in order to maintain a clear access width of 3' for emergency exit from the building, the sidewalk width needs to increase by 1 foot on the North and South sides of the building. To make this work we will need to reduce the drive aisle width on these sides to 24 feet, which is less than the minimum width of 25 feet called for in detail K-1. Both aisles are single-loaded for parking and unobstructed space is available opposite the parking stalls for bumper overhang during the backing maneuver. We have tried offsetting the parking stalls by 1 foot on each side, but this alternative makes us encroach on the required setback on the South side and we would need to shift the entire Target building by 1 foot on the North side, which would then cause other conflicts. Please, let us know if reducing the drive aisle width to 24 feet is a satisfactory alternative. Very truly yours, KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INe. cf:)~ Oscar R.

Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425-0310 Subject: Boynton Town Center File No : NWSP 05-003 Administrative Waiver - Standard Detail K-1 Dear Laurinda; Weare requesting an Administrative Waiver to the City of Boynton Beach Engineering Division Standard Detail K-1 "Parking Stalls and Aisle Dimensions" for the drive aisles located on the North and South sides of the proposed Best Buy building, otherwise known as Building "C". In order to make the front of the buildings more visually appealing, the building architect added more substantial decorative columns at the NW and SW corners of the building. Due to the increased size of the columns and in order to maintain a clear access width of 3' for emergency exit from the building, the sidewalk width needs to increase by 1 foot on the North and South sides of the building. To make this work we will need to reduce the drive aisle width on these sides to 24 feet, which is less than the minimum width of 25 feet called for in detail K -1. Both aisles are single-loaded for parking and unobstructed space is available opposite the parking stalls for bumper overhang during the backing maneuver. We have tried offsetting the parking stalls by 1 foot on each side, but this alternative makes us encroach on the required setback on the South side and we would need to shift the entire Target building by 1 foot on the North side, which would then cause other conflicts. Please, let us know if reducing the drive aisle width to 24 feet is a satisfactory alternative. Very truly yours, KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC. c:CJ~ Oscar R.

Sheet LA-l - Washington Palms can no longer be incorporated into landscape plans. They need to be eliminated from the plans and substituted with comparable plant material. Additionally, the singular Washington Palms depicted in the diamond-shaped cutouts in the parking areas are now shown as Royal Palms on the plan revision sets submitted for permit review in the Building Department. Please correct these sheets to reflect the Royal Palms. - Additional Royal Palms are needed at the south end of the Target Store, in the walkway in front of the store. The planting areas in front of Target have been reduced with this modification submittal. Please increase the amount of foundation planting areas and sidewalk planting areas to enhance these rather harsh streetscape areas. Also, Washington Palms were originally located with the foundation plantings to provide some height against the fayade. Similar plant material achieving this purpose will be needed to be added back to the plans. - The Best Buy Store has had foundation/sidewalk plantings remove from all sides. A similar planting scheme as is being requested in front of Target should be accomplished in front of Best Buy. - To offset the loss oflandscaping on the other three (3) sides of Best Buy, the following enhancements in landscaping should be made: 1. Plant the sidewalk areas at the SW comer of Target and NW comer of Best Buy to screen/soften the large building and asphalt area created with the separation of the buildings. Also, increase the size of the easternmost . Page 2 May 18, 2006 landscape island proposed on the south side of the Target Store to 25-30 feet in width and heavily landscape. 2. Increase the plant material and provide additional plant materials in the range of 5-8 feet in height in the Old Boynton Road landscape buffer, specifically between the Spine Road connection with Old Boynton road and the entrance drive immediately west of Best Buy. Also, provide the same plant materials in the 5-8 foot range in the landscape strip between retention pond 3 and the east side of Best Buy. In all instances, the plants shall be installed with branches touching to provide an instant screen, since no foundation plantings are provided around the building with elevations facing/visible from the roadways. 3. Increase the plant material and provide additional plant materials in the range of 5-8 feet in height on each side of service drive entrance from the Spine Road to the truck wells/loading docks to help screen these operations. Ensure that these materials do not encroach into the site triangles. Sheet LA-2 - The Plant List must be amended removing all references to Washington Palms and to reflect the addition of plant materials noted in above comments. Sheet SL-l - The site lighting appears to have increased from the previous submittal. Look to reduce the numbers to ensure there is not a glow produced over the area, while maintaining a safe level. Color Sheets - The tower depicted at 52' - 4" must be reduced to 45 feet or apply for a height exception. - The elevations of the Target Store and the Best Buy Store depict landscaping. Ensure that these elevations accurately depict what staff has discussed above. Gen. comments - Please label the dumpster and/or compactor enclosure locations for Building "A" (Super Target) and Building "c" (Best Buy), in order that staff may determine compliance with applicable codes. - The proposed plans have a reduced width aisle of 24- ft., one foot less than the required 25-ft. for backing distance for 900 parking. Please provide an administrative waiver request to City Standard K-2, per the e-mail dated 4/05/06 addressed to Oscar Tazoe of Kim ley- Horn. - Changes to the drainage system are being proposed that may necessitate a revision to the SFWMD permits for this project. 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. - It appears changes are being made to the proposed water and sewer system. Revisions to the pending Palm Beach County Health Department permits or written acknowledgement from the Health Dept. stating no formal revision will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project. .

As you will recall, the City Fire Department is requiring 40' of separation between the major retail stores. As a result of this requirement, building footprints have shifted, one ofthe retailers has been accommodated on the main street, parking is modified. More specifically, the retail building between Target and BestBuy has been eliminated to create 40' separation between the retail buildings. With the elimination of the retail space, the BestBuy footprint was expanded 15,000 s.f. which represents a net increase of 5,000 s.f. for Boynton Town Center. The gross leasable area for Boynton Town Center is 249,706 s.f., which does not exceed the 250,000 s.f. limitation for the property. The 40' building separation causes associated shifts in building improvements. The Target door was shifted, therefore, the handicap parking spaces are relocated to offer the most accessible route. A driveway and parking is provided between the retail buildings to re-establish use within that land area. The footprint shift also allows some parking to be located in the rear of the stores. The end result is a more efficient site design. While there is a slight increase in retail use, there is no net loss of parking. You will recall the staff determination that the uncovered garden area is not considered in gross leaable area, but must be considered in gross building area for parking calculations. The enclosed site plan depicts 1294 parking spaces, which exceeds parking requirements as is demonstrated below: proposed gross leasable area = 249,706 s.f. proposed gross building area = 254,676 s.f WPB:241967:1 RUDEN, McCLOSKY, SMITH, SCHUSTER & RUSSELL, P.A.

The total square footage for the C-3 parcel now stands at 249,706. Due to the removal of building "B" we were able to provide more parking spaces, increasing the number from 1289 to 1294 in the C-3 parcel. · Building "A" (Target) increased in size from 185,000 SF to 185,658 SF; however 4970 SF of this is open area and is not included on the building area calculations. The building area used for calculations is 180,688 SF. · Due to the addition of bigger columns at the NW and SW comers of the new Building "C", it was required to extend the curb limits on the North and South sides of said building. This reduced the drive aisle width on these sides to 24 feet. The issue has been discussed with Planning and Zoning and we have obtained verbal approval on the subject. We have submitted a formal Administrative Waiver letter for City Standard detail K-1, and are waiting for the City's approva11etter. · The buildings in Out Lots 6 and 7 have been combined into a single 16,000 SF structure denominated building "L". This change represents an increase of 825 SF, which does not adversely affect the SMU zoning requirements. We were also able to provide more parking spaces due to the new building configuration, increasing the number of parking spaces provided from 941 to 959. .

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc, · The north access road into the project along Congress Avenue has been shifted to the South approximately 3 feet so as to better align with the North Entrance of the Boynton Beach Mall. The shift is minimal and should not have an adverse effect on the project. · Parcel boundaries have been updated to match the platted survey. All site data tables have also been revised so as to show correct information per new areas.
