According to the survey, the subject site is currently vacant, and has 90 feet of frontage on Federal Highway, 14S feet of frontage on Bamboo Lane, and 70 feet of frontage on Palmer Road. Bamboo Lane is an ingress-egress easement approximately 50 feet in width, and Palmer Road is a 20 foot right-of-way. Both roads provide primary access to single-family residential lots located east of the subject property. BACKGROUND Michael Hanlon of HNM Architecture, LLC, representing Nigel Development, Inc. is requesting new site plan approval for the construction of a 7,497 square foot professional business office building with under-story parking on the 0.26S-acre parcel. The applicant has also requested to annex the subject property (ANEX 06- 008), amend the land use classification from CHIS (PBC) to LRC, and rezone from CG (PBC) to C-3 (LUAR 06-021). ANALYSIS A traffic statement for the project was sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency review in order to ensure an adequate level of service. In a response dated August 21,2006, Palm Beach County Traffic Division determined that the project will generate 172 new daily trips which they state constitutes an "insignificant impact on the roadway network, and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County". No building permits are to be issued for the project after the build-out date of 2008. School concurrency is not required for this type of project. Staff reviewed the site plan and determined that current staffing levels would be sufficient to meet the expected demand for services. The City's water capacity, as increased through the purchase of up to S million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County Utilities, would meet the projected potable water for this project. Sufficient sanitary sewer and wastewater treatment capacity is also currently available to serve the project. Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time of permit review (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Staff Report - Bamboo Lane (NWSP 06-023) Memorandum No PZ 06-177 Page 3 Driveways: The site plan (Sheet A-1.0) shows that one (1) access point is proposed from Bamboo Lane approximately 88 feet east of the west property line of the subject property. The proposed access drive would be 27 feet in width and provide ingress and egress. The proposed office building would front Bamboo Lane and have no direct access to Federal Highway. Parking: A professional business office use requires one (1) parking space per 300 square feet of gross floor area. The site plan (Sheet A-1.0) proposes a 7,497 square foot office building, which would require a minimum of 25 parking spaces. The site plan depicts 2S parking spaces, including one (1) space designated for handicap use. The proposed parking spaces include a mix of surface parking on site and under- story parking. Since there is no extra parking provided, the site plan notes that medical offices, which require one parking space per 200 square feet of gross floor area, would not be allowed. All spaces, excluding the handicap spaces, would be dimensioned nine (9) feet in width and 16 feet in length with a 2 foot overhang, for a total size of nine feet by 18 feet. All proposed parking stalls, including the size and location of the handicap spaces were reviewed and approved by both the Engineering Division and Building Division. Landscaping: The proposed open space or "pervious" area would be 2,S90 square feet or 22.4% of the total lot. The landscape code requires that 50% or more of the plant material be native species. According to the landscape plan (LA1.0), the applicant proposes to landscape around the parking areas and building utilizing native species such as Gumbo Limbo canopy trees and Royal Palm trees, and native shrubs such as Cocoplum, Beach Sunflower, and Spider Lily. The proposed landscaping provides a complimentary mix of canopy and palm trees such as Yellow Elder, Gumbo Limbo, and Royal Palms. All trees would be the required minimum of 12 feet in height at time of planting. However, trees proposed around the building must be installed at one-half the height of the building per the Land Development Regulations (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). The landscape plan notes indicate that non-potable water will be used as the source of irrigation for the project. However, if the non-potable water source proves to be too brackish, and potable water has to be used for irrigation purposes, then the use of drought-tolerant species shall be utilized, and water conserving irrigation techniques be applied such as a drip system (see Exhibit "C" - conditions of approval). Building and Site: The Office at Bamboo Lane is designed as a two (2)-story structure, with under- story parking. The elevations (sheet A-4.0) indicate the top of the roof at 41 feet in height, and the top of the parapet at 4S feet, which is the maximum height allowed in the C-3 zoning district. The ground floor would consist of 555 square feet of lobby area including an elevator and stairway, and an under-story parking area. The second and third floor plans (sheet A-1.1) would each consist of 3,471 gross Staff Report - Bamboo Lane (NWSP 06-023) Memorandum No PZ 06-177 Page 4 square feet of which 3,234 square feet would be air-conditioned space. The floor plans indicate offices for future tenants and restrooms. A second stairway is proposed at the south end of the under-story parking area. The remainder of the site would consist of surface parking and landscaped areas. Design: The modern office building design would include a smooth stucco finish on masonry walls with 12-inch wide stucco banding, concrete eyebrows at the top of each floor, and balconies with stainless steel railings. All windows would be clear anodized aluminum frames with light gray tinted impact resistant glass, including the round decorative windows. According to the elevations and materials board, the main body color of the office building would be white: "Brilliant White". The color of the contrasting trim banding is proposed as a gray: "Platinum Gray", complementing the stainless steel balcony railings and aluminum reveals. The concrete eyebrows would be a slate blue: "Province Blue", and provide interest and shadowing on the building. All paints would be Benjamin Moore. Signage: The elevation pages (Sheet A-4.0) show the locations of the wall signs for the proposed office building (north elevation from Bamboo Lane and west elevation from Federal Highway, near the building entrance). The signs would have cast aluminum surface mounted letters in Century Gothic font. No freestanding monument sign is proposed. The north elevation is the building front and would include the main wall sign (61 square feet of sign face) at 38 feet in height on the building. In addition, a rounded concrete wall enclosure would include an identical but smaller wall sign (16 square feet). Each of these wall signs would identify the name of the building and website: "The Office @ bamboolane.net". The building address numbers "3847" (S square feet) are proposed at approximately 44 feet in height on the building and would consist of aluminum. The west elevation is the side of the building seen from Federal Highway and would include wall signage identical to the Bamboo Lane signage (27 square feet) at a height of approximately 38 feet on the building. Two (2) additional wall signs (33 square feet each) for tenants would be located approximately 38 feet and 2S feet in height on the building. Similarly, the building address numbers "3847" (4.S square feet) are proposed at approximately 44 feet in height on the building and would consist of aluminum. lighting: The photometric plan (sheet A-0.1) proposes freestanding lighting fixtures, as well as wall mounted lighting fixtures. The three (3) freestanding pole fixtures would be 18 feet in height and would be located near the entrance to the site, and in the parking areas. All proposed lighting will be shielded to direct light down and away from adjacent properties and rights-of-way. Art: An open space is proposed along Bamboo Lane in close proximity to Federal Highway to exhibit publiC art, in compliance with the newly adopted requirement for developments to provide public art work. The artwork is proposed as a sculpture as part of a functional bike rack near the building entrance. This artwork Staff Report - Bamboo Lane (NWSP 06-023) Memorandum No PZ 06-177 Page 5 will enhance the ambiance of the proposed development. Ultimate review and approval of the artist and sculpture is still pending by the Arts Commission. RECOMMENDATION Staff has reviewed the applicant's request for new site plan approval and recommends approval of the request. However, the site plan approval is contingent upon approval of the variance request (ZNCV 06- 011) for minimum lot size in the C-3 zoning district. No building permits shall be issued unless the variance request is approved. In addition, the new site plan request is contingent upon the approval of the accompanying prerequisite applications for annexation (ANEX 06-008), land use amendment I rezoning (LUAR 06-021), and subject to satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or required by City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval. 5: \Planning\Shared\ Wp\Projects\Bamboo Lane\NWSP\Staff Report.doc EXHIBIT "A" - LOCATION MAP .",J i ~ '4 NIC o 25 50 100 150 200 ~-_ I Feet N ..' s EXHI~IT tB" I ~ IX I I '" i i I iTl I hi I'! l ;. &~ <( 3 it ....

Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742- 6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section 10-26 (a). 2. The proposed dumpster location is not acceptable. Due to the space constraints of this project Staff recommends rollout carts be used instead of a dumpster. Additional rollout carts (two provided with service) and/or additional pickup days may be required to properly service this site. 3. The rollout carts shall be screened in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 9, Section 10.C.3. PUBLIC WORKS - Forestry and Grounds Comments: 4. Show sight triangles on the Landscape plans (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article IT, Section S.H.) Reference FDOT Standard Index 546 for the sight triangles along Federal Highway and a 25 foot sight triangle on Bamboo Lane. 5. 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-feet and 8 feet above the pavement (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article IT, Section S.H.) 6. The medians on Federal Highway have existing irrigation and plant material belonging to the City of Boynton Beach. Any damage to the irrigation system and/or plant material as a result of the contractor's operations shall be repaired or replaced to the equivalent or better grade, as approved by the City of Boynton Beach, and shall be the sole responsibility of the developer. The contractor shall notify and coordinate with the City of Boynton Beach Forestry & Grounds Division of Public Works a minimum of six (6) weeks in advance of any underground activities. Please acknowledge this notice in your comments response and add a note to the appropriate plan sheets with the above stated information. 7. Per the LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article IT, Section 5.C.2. Ficus species are not permitted. 8. Staff strongly recommends placing canopy trees far enough back from drive aisles to minimize the potential for vertical conflicts with high-profile vehicles. 1ST REVIEW COMMENTS 07/05/06 2 DEPARTMENTS INCLUDE REJECT 9. There are overhead lines along the north and west property lines. Landscaping shall be designed and installed in accordance with FPL's "Plant the Right Tree in the Right Place." 10.

Indicate irrigation source on the Landscape plans. PUBLIC WORKS - Traffic Comments: 13. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering. 14. Portions of Palmer Rd. are owned and maintained by Palm Beach County. Ownership of this roadway is not shown on the survey, indicating only that there is a 20 foot right-of-way per an unfiled plat. Determine if this roadway is owned by the County and, if so, if additional right-of-way and/or improvements will be required in conjunction with development of The Office at Bamboo Lane. 15. 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. 16. The major driveway off Federal Hwy does not comply with the LDR, Chapter 23., Article II, Section H.3. The code referred to requires the driveway be constructed a minimum of 120 feet from Bamboo Lane. Approval of a driveway for this site will require a variance to the above stated standard. Staff strongly recommends that no driveway be placed along Federal Hwy. In addition to the above stated code requirement visibility to the north appears to be a problem due to the structural column and planter on the north side of the driveway. This feature obstructs the view of traffic at the intersection of Bamboo Lane and Federal Hwy and of oncoming pedestrians. 17. FDOT permits will be required for any work in the Federal Hwy right-of-way, including but not limited to paver bricks and abandonment of the existing driveway. At a minimum the existing driveway shall be removed and replaced with Type "F" Curb & Gutter, sidewalk, and paver bricks.

Following are our comments with the appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations (LOR) referenced. PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE 1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section 10-26 (a). 2. The proposed dumpster location is not acceptable. Due to the space constraints of this project Staff recommends rollout carts be used instead of a dumpster. Additional rollout carts (two provided with service) and/or additional pickup days may be required to properly service this site, 3. The rollout carts shall be screened in accordance with the LOR, Chapter 9, Section 10.C.3. PUBLIC WORKS - FORESTRY & GROUNDS 4. Show sight triangles on the Landscape plans (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) Reference FOOT Standard Index 546 for the sight triangles along Federal Highway and a 25-ft. sight triangle on Bamboo Lane. 5. 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 8-ft. above the pavement (LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) 6. The medians on Federal Highway have existing irrigation and plant material belonging to the City of Boynton Beach. Any damage to the irrigation system and/or plant material as a result of the contractor's operations shall be repaired or replaced to the equivalent or better grade, as approved by the City of Boynton Beach, and shall be the sole responsibility of the developer. The contractor shall notify and coordinate with the City of Boynton Beach Forestry & Grounds Division of Public Works a minimum of six (6) weeks in advance of any underground activities. Please acknowledge this notice in your comments response and add a note to the appropriate plan sheets with the above stated information. 7. Per the LOR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2. Ficus species are not permitted. Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 06-075 RE: The Office at Bamboo Lane, New Site Plan - 1 st Review, NWSP 06-023 July 5, 2006 Page 2 8. Staff strongly recommends placing canopy trees far enough back from drive aisles to minimize the potential for vertical conflicts with high-profile vehicles. 9. There are overhead lines along the north and west property lines. Landscaping shall be designed and installed in accordance with FPL's "Plant the Right Tree in the Right Place," 10. Staff recommends that Sabal Palms be trimmed prior to planting (delivered "Hurricane Ready") instead of being installed with a "Full, Tight Head." 11. Specify caliper for the Live Oak. 12. Indicate irrigation source on the Landscape plans. PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC 13. Provide a traffic analysis and notice of concurrency (Traffic Performance Standards Review) from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering. 14. Portions of Palmer Rd. are owned and maintained by Palm Beach County. Ownership of this roadway is not shown on the survey, indicating only that there is a 20-ft. right-of-way per an unfiled plat. Determine if this roadway is owned by the County and, if so, if additional right-of-way and/or improvements will be required in conjunction with development of The Office at Bamboo Lane. 15. 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. 16. The major driveway off Federal Hwy does not comply with the LOR, Chapter 23., Article II, Section H.3. The code referred to requires the driveway be constructed a minimum of 120-ft. from Bamboo Lane. Approval of a driveway for this site will require a variance to the above stated standard. Staff strongly recommends that no driveway be placed along Federal Hwy. In addition to the above stated code requirement visibility to the north appears to be a problem due to the structural column and planter on the north side of the driveway. This feature obstructs the view of traffic at the intersection of Bamboo Lane and Federal Hwy and of oncoming pedestrians. 17. FOOT permits will be required for any work in the Federal Hwy right-of-way, including but not limited to paver bricks and abandonment of the existing driveway. At a minimum the existing driveway shall be removed and replaced with Type "F" Curb & Gutter, sidewalk, and paver bricks. A handicap accessible ramp shall be provided at the intersection of Federal Hwy and Bamboo Lane. As previously stated Staff recommends that no driveways to this site be placed on Federal Hwy. 18. On street parking will not be permitted as depicted on the plans. This location does not allow for safe parallel parking maneuvers due to the proximity to Federal Hwy. Additionally the scaled stall dimension (CRA) is depicted incorrectly. The correct dimensions for parallel parking 9-ft. x 25-ft. (City Standard Drawing K-2.) 19. The parking stall depicted in the southwest corner of the site, west of the stairwell will not be permitted if the applicant decides to pursue a variance for the driveway. This location does not provide the minimum required 18-ft. clearance between the side of the parking stall and the public right-of-way (LOR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section H.4.a.) Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 06-075 RE: The Office at Bamboo Lane, New Site Plan - 1 st Review, NWSP 06-023 July 5, 2006 Page 3 ENGINEERING 20.

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. 34. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown 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 LOR, 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. 35. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). 36. 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 LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). 37. The LOR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants. 38. 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. Show proposed meter size on the plans. 39. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4 requires the conservation of potable water. Due to the proximity of this project to the Intracoastal Waterway the use of potable water for irrigation will be considered. 40.
