Conditional Use - 1 st Review
Pylon Interstate Plaza
File No. COUS 06-004
DATE:
RE:
The above referenced Conditional Use Site Plans, received on 3/20/06, were reviewed for Public Works,
Engineering, and Utilities against the requirements outlined in the City of Boynton Beach Code of
Ordinances. This project has previously been reviewed and approved but the site plan has since expired
and the applicant is resubmitting. 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.
2. Show the dumpster enclosure location on all site, utility and landscape drawings.
3. There is a vertical conflict between the dumpster enclosure in the southwest corner and the two Live
Oaks proposed on either side of it. Replace the Live Oaks with a species of tree that will not conflict
with the vertical clearance required for Solid Waste pickup.
PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC
4. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from
Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering.
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 "Do Not Enter" signage, etc.
See City Standard Drawings "K" Series for striping details.
6. All site plans refer to the eastern side roadway as SW 7th Court, which is in error. The correct name
is CORPORATE DRIVE (a southerly extension of SW 8th Street located on the north side of
Woolbright Road.)
7. Three different parking layouts, especially with respect to the location of the handicap stalls, on the
Site Plan (Sheet SP-1, the Conceptual Engineering Plan (Sheet C-1), and the Landscape Plan
(Sheet LP-1.) Please correct this discrepancy, placing the handicap stalls on the closest route to the
building per the FL Accessibility Code.

Re: Pylon Interstate Plaza, Conditional Use - 1st Review
March 29, 2006
Page 2
8. An updated administrative waiver from Engineering will be required to use 9 ft. x 18 ft. parking stalls.
The applicant may use the standard under which Phase I was constructed (B-98001) which allows for
a minimum 9-ft. x 18-ft. stall with a 27-ft. backup distance (aisle width) or may use the current
standard K-1 which calls for a minimum 9 ~-ft. x 18 ~-ft. stall with a 25-ft. backup distance (aisle
width.) The applicant may not "mix and match" the two standards. Staff recommends the use of the
older standard drawing B-98001 for consistency between the two phases of the project.
9. Add "Wrong Way - Do Not Enter" signs at the south end of the drive between the existing and
proposed buildings to prevent northbound movement into this one-way configuration.
10. Add a stop sign and stop bar at the south end of the southbound drive between the existing and
proposed buildings
ENGINEERING
11. 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.
12. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate
sheets.
13. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional comments.
Acceptance of these plans during the TRC process does not ensure that additional comments may
not be generated by the Commission and at permit review.
14. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets.
15. Show proposed site lighting on the Site plans (LDR, Chapter 4, Section 7.B.4.)
16. 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).
17. 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 Woolbright Rd.
18. 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.)
19. Additional screening may be required in the southwest corner to address concerns from the adjacent
residential subdivision.

20. Plants are called out on the plans but are not shown in the plant list. Please cross-check all callouts
and quantities between the plan view and plant list to ensure both agree.
21. There are overhead lines along the south and west property lines. Landscaping shall be designed
and installed in accordance with FPL's "Plant the Right Tree in the Right Place".
22. Provide an engineer's certification on the Drainage Plan as specified in LDR, Chapter 4, Section
7.F.2.
23. The proposed on-site drainage is shown connecting to an existing system. No information has been
provided regarding the sizing of the existing system. Provide justification that the existing system can
handle the additional flows generated by the proposed site improvements and additional storm
sewer/exfiltration system.
24. 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.
25. Indicate by note that catch basin and manhole covers shall be bicycle proof (LDR, Chapter 6, Article
IV, Section 5.A.2.g).
26. Specify storm sewer diameters, inlets types, etc. on drainage plan. Indicate grate, rim and invert
elevations for all structures. Indicate grade of storm sewer segments. Indicate material specifications
for storm sewer.
27. 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
28. 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.
29. Show all utility easements 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 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. For instance a Live Oak is specified on the east side of the new
building where there is an existing 8-in. water main and proposed meters and a fire line.

30. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility
easements. Please show all proposed (or existing) easements on the engineering drawings, using a
minimum width of 12-ft. The easements shall be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as
stated in the CODE, Section 26-33(a).
31. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. 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)).
32. 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
30 days of site plan approval, whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final
meter size, or expected demand.
33. 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. Accordingly delete the 1 ~-in. irrigation
meter depicted on Sheet C-1.
34. 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.
