Rumpf, Director, Planning and Zoning Laurinda Logan, P.E., Senior Engineer ~^'._- March 28, 2006 ''\ Review Comments ~~ _ J 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. Department of Development/Engineering Division Memo No. 038 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. Department of Development/Engineering Division Memo No. 038 Re: Pylon Interstate Plaza, Conditional Use - 1st Review March 29, 2006 Page 3 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.

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. 35. Appropriate backflow preventers 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. 36. 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.
