UTILITIES
Comments:
IO. All utility easements shall be shown on the rectified site plan and landscaping
drawings 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. LDR Chap. 7.5, Art. I,
Sec. 18.1 give public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere
with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way. This
comment is specific to the proposed lit station location. Easements are
required for water and sewer (not stormwater).
Response: Understood. The site plan and landscape plans have been
changed to reflect these comments.

with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in LDR Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, Or
the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (see
CODE Sec. 26-l6(b)). A single 6-inch (assumed) stub line connection does
not yield this requirement. Consider looping a new 8-inch water main back
into the existing 8-inch in Federal Highway, with routing along side of Unit
# 16 (or ideally in the replacement of Unit # 16).
Response: The fire flow will be provided upon completion of the Fire
Hydrant Flow Test by the Palm Beach County Fire Department. An 8 inch

size, Or expected demand. The new time line requires payment within seven
(7) days.
Response: The capacity reservation fee will be paid at the appropriate time.
14. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable
water. City water may not, therefore, be used fOr irrigation where other
SOUrces are readily available. As the project is close to the Intracoastal, if
brackish water is encountered, then city water may be approved for landscape
irrigation.
Response: City water will be used for landscaping.
15. 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.

depth to determine fmal sanitary sewer utility easement widths. Sanitary
easements are assumed to be twice the depth of the manhole (deeper) depth.
A 10-foot separation is required between water and sewer m shared
easements. The minimum easement width is 12 feet. An administrative
waiver will be required for variations to the separation widths.
Response: Simmons & White, the engineers for this project have met with

Comments:
10. All utility easements shall be shown on the rectified site plan and landscaping
drawings 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. LDR Chap. 7.5, Art. I,
Sec. 18.1 give public utilities the authority to remove any trees that interfere
with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way. This
comment is specific to the proposed lit station location. Easements are
required for water and sewer (not stormwater).

12. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code
requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. on certain residential developments)
with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in LDR Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, or
the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (see
CODE Sec. 26-l6(b)). A single 6-inch (assumed) stub line connection does
not yield this requirement. Consider looping a new 8-inch water main back
into the existiIlg 8-inch in Federal Highway, with routing along side of Unit
#16 (or ideally in the replacement of Unit #16).
Response: The fire flow will be provided upon completion of the Fire
Hydrant Flow Test by the Palm Beach County Fire Department. An 8 inch
water main has been looped on site with a stub out provided for future
connection.
13. CODE Sec. 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. The new time line requires payment within seven
(7) days.
Response: The capacity reservation fee will be paid at the aDDropriate time.
14. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable
water. City water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other
sources are readily available. As the project is close to the Intracoastal, if
brackish water is encountered, then city water may be approved for landscape
irrigation.
ResDonse: City water will be used for landscaping.
15. 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

74. The IPUD zoning district perimeter setbacks shall mirror setbacks of
adjacent zoning district(s) but with a minimum of the setback required for a
single-family residence as determined by the orientation of the structures in
the IPUD (Chapter 2, Section 5.L.3.). The properties to the east are located
in unincorporated Palm Beach County, are zoned County RS, and back
directly up to the subject site. These lots have been developed with sing1e-
family detached homes and the IPUD regulations specifically addresses
compatibility requirements with these types of developments. The rear
setback of the County RS zoning district is 15 feet. It appears as though
these existing homes were built with a rear setback of approximately 25
feet. The site plan proposes a 12 foot setback against these homes. This is
unacceptable, given the proposed building heights / massing and proximity
to the adjacent single-family homes. Staff recommends increasing the
setbacks for compatibility and reducing building heights at the perimeter
abutting residential, while at the same time breaking up the buildings where
there are over six (6) consecutives units. The continuous row of units
without any interruption is contradictory to the obiective of the IPUD

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. LDR Chap.
7.5, Art. I, Sec. 18.1 give public utilities the authority to remove any trees
that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public
rights-of-way. This comments is specific to the proposed lit station location.
13. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the /
water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE Sec. 26-12).

requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. on certain residential j
developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in LDR Chap. 6,
Art. IV, Sec. 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters,
whichever is greater (see CODE Sec. 26-16(b)). A single 6-inch (assumed)
stub line connection does not yield this requirement. Consider looping a

2 adjacent zoning district(s) but with a minimum of the setback required for a
single-family residence as determined by the orientation of the structures in

family detached homes and the IPUD regulations specifically addresses
compatibility requirements with these types of developments. The rear
setback of the County RS zoning district is 15 feet. It appears as though
these existing homes were built with a rear setback of approximately 25
feet. The site plan proposes a 12 foot setback against these homes. This is
unacceptable, given the proposed building heights / massing and proximity
to the adjacent single-family homes. Staff recommends increasing the
setbacks for compatibility and reducing building heights at the perimeter
abutting residential, while at the same time breaking up the buildings where
there are over six (6) consecutives units. The continuous row of units

zoning district.
It is a basic public expectation that landowners requesting the use of the
IPUD district will develop design standards that exceed the standards of the
basic development standards in terms of site design, building architecture,
and construction materials, amenities and landscape design (Chapter 2,
Section 5 .L.l.b.). The city is not obligated to automatically approve the
level of development intensity requested for the IPUD. Instead, it is
expected to approve only such level of intensity that is appropriate for a
particular location in terms of land use compatibilities (Chapter 2, Section
5.L.1.c.). The proposed project contains no provision for guest parking.
There is no recreation area parking that often times provides for guest or
overflow parking. In addition, no tandem parking (driveway parking) has
been provided for these large-size dwelling units that may very well possess
two (2), three (3), four (4) car households, not to mention storage within the
garage that can compromise necessary parking spaces. Therefore, staff
recommends providing surplus parking and the creation of a pedestrian
walkway system, including a connection to the public walkway (Chapter 2,
Section 5.L.4.c.).
Staff considers these plans to be at the final stage of site plan review, the
last stage prior to permit review. As such, all comments need to be
addressed and shown on the lans rior to the TART meetin .
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the new site plan is publicly
advertised in accordance with Ordinance 04-007.

determine compatibility based in part, on the Eastern Property Line Section
that shows the adjacent structures (Chapter 2, Section, 5.L4.g.(l ).
Response: Understood.
74. The IPUD zoning district perimeter setbacks shall mirror setbacks of
adjacent zoning district(s) but with a minimum of the setback required for a
single-family residence as determined by the orientation of the structures in
the IPUD (Chapter 2, Section 5.L3.). The properties to the east are located
in unincorporated Palm Beach County, are zoned County RS, and back
directly up to the subject site. These lots have been developed with single-
family detached homes and the IPUD regulations specifically addresses
compatibility requirements with these types of developments. The rear
setback of the County RS zoning district is 15 feet. It appears as though
these existing homes were built with a rear setback of approximately 25
feet. The site plan proposes a 12 foot setback against these homes. This is
unacceptable, given the proposed building heights / massing and proximity
to the adjacent single-family homes. Staff recommends increasing the
setbacks for compatibility and reducing building heights at the perimeter
abutting residential, while at the same time breaking up the buildings where
there are over six (6) consecutives units. The continuous row of units
without any interruption is contradictory to the objeclive of the IPUD
zoning district.
Response: Please refer to the revised plans. Per the request of the staff, the
site has been redesigned to address compatibility issues with the residences
to the east. The following revisions have been made:
1. Number of proposed units reduced to twenty-two (22).
2. No units back onto eastern property line.
3. No building with greater than six (6) units.
4. The end units (adjacent to the east property line) step down to two (2)
stories.
5. A six (6) foot fence has been added to the east property line.
75. It is a basic public expectation that landowners requesting the use of the
IPUD district will develop design standards that exceed the standards of the
basic development standards in terms of site design, building architecture,
and construction materials, amenities and landscape design (Chapter 2,
Section 5.L l.b.). The city is not obligated to automatically approve the
level of development intensity requested for the IPUD. Instead, it is
expected to approve only such level of intensity that is appropriate for a
particular location in terms of land use compatibilities (Chapter 2, Section
5.L I.c.). The proposed project contains no provision for guest parking.
There is no recreation area parking that often times provides for guest or
overflow parking. In addition, no tandem parking (driveway parking) has

been provided for these large-size dwelling units that may very well possess

garage that can compromise necessary parking spaces. Therefore, staff
recommends providing surplus parking and the creation of a pedestrian
walkway system, including a connection to the public walkway (Chapter 2,
Section 5.L.4.c.).
Response: Four guest parking spaces have been added. The design
standards proposed for this project are exemplary in relation to landscape
design, site planning, construction and amenities. The high quality design,
construction and architecture will enhance the area while retaining the
atmosphere of the existing residential homes. The site design creates a
pedestrian walkway that interconnects the interior and exterior of the
planned subdivision with the existing surrounding properties. The

6. 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

7. Add a general noted 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

Engineering Department (PBCED), Palm Beach County Department of Environmental
Resource Management (PBCDERM) and any other, shall be included with the permit
required.
8. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all
appropriate sheets.
9. Upon satisfactory Commission approval of the Site Plan, the applicant shall enter the plat
process through the City's Engineering Division. A preliminary plat application may be
initiated during the site plan review to expedite issuance of the Land Development Permit
(if necessary).
10. The proposed name of "Tuscan Villas" is not acceptable and shall be changed. There is
already a "Tuscany on the Intracoastal" just north of this site, and a "Tuscany Villas" in
the Leisureville development.
11. Area lighting IS not shown. Is area security lighting contemplated? If so, please
delineate.
UTILITIES
12. All utility easements shall be shown on the rectified site plan and landscaping drawings
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.
LDR Chap. 7.5, Art. I, Sec. 18.1 give public utilities the authority to remove any trees
\.
that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way.
This comments is specific to the proposed lit station location.
13. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer
systems serving this project (CODE Sec. 26-12).
14. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500
g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. on certain residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as
stated in LDR Chap. 6, Art. IV, Sec. 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance
underwriters, whichever is greater (see CODE Sec. 26-16(b)). A single 6-inch (assumed)
stub line connection does not yield this requirement. Consider looping a new 8-inch
water main back into the existing 8-inch in Federal Highway, with routing along side of
Unit #16 (or ideally in the replacement of Unit #16).
15. CODE Sec. 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.
16. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable water. City
water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other sources are readily available.
17. 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).
18. The Utilities Department will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer
utilities, on conditions 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.
19. PVC material not permitted on the City's water system. All lines shall be DIP.
20. Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the
building(s), and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with CODE Sec. 26-
207.
21. 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 CODE Sec. 26-15.
22. LDR Chap. 3, Art. IV, Sec. 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.

COMMENTS
1. Provide emergency vehicle access to the construction site. Gates shall be 20 feet
wide and have a Knox Lock for Fire Department entry.
2. All roads within this site shall be compacted to 32 tons to accommodate Fire
Department Engines and equipment. The developer will incur any cost for towing
if a Fire Department vehicle becomes stuck on an access road. The roads shall be
compacted to any area where vertical construction is taking place. Vertical
construction begins with the pouring of the slab. All fire hydrants shall be
operable before vertical construction can begin.
3. Three story buildings require a Fire Sprinkler System, so in addition to the water
supply data for hydrants, provide us with hydraulic calculations to show total
water demand for fire protection. All calculations will be based on a flow test
conducted by the Fire Department, within 6 months of plan submission.
4. Provide a sheet that clearly shows the location of fire hydrants.

1st Review Planning
November 17, 2005
At the technical advisory review team (TART) meeting, provide written responses to all staffs
comments and questions. Submit 12 sets of revised plans. Each set should be folded and stapled.
At the technical advisory review team meeting, also provide a full set of reduced drawings, sized
8Yz inches by 11 inches of each plan. Save each plan to a compact disk and submit that to staff as
well.
Project compatibility will be judged on how well the proposed development fits within the
context of the neighborhood and abutting properties. Staff will determine compatibility based in
part, on the Eastern Property Line Section that shows the adjacent structures (Chapter 2, Section
5.LA.g. (1)).
The IPUD zoning district perimeter setbacks shall mirror setbacks of adjacent zoning district(s)
but with a minimum of the setback required for a single-family residence as determined by the
orientation of the structures in the IPUD (Chapter 2, Section 5.L.3.). The properties to the east are
located in unincorporated Palm Beach County, are zoned County RS, and back directly up to the
subject site. These lots have been developed with single-family detached homes and the IPUD
regulations specifically addresses compatibility requirements with these types of developments.
The rear setback of the County RS zoning district is 15 feet. It appears as though these existing
homes were built with a rear setback of approximately 25 feet. The site plan proposes a 12 foot
setback against these homes. This is unacceptable, given the proposed building heights 1 massing
and proximity to the adjacent single-family homes. Staff recommends increasing the setbacks for
compatibility and reducing building heights at the perimeter abutting residential, while at the
same time breaking up the buildings where there are over six (6) consecutives units. The
continuous row of units without any interruption is contradictory to the objective of the IPUD
zoning district.
It is a basic public expectation that landowners requesting the use of the IPUD district will
develop design standards that exceed the standards of the basic development standards in terms of
site design, building architecture, and construction materials, amenities and landscape design
(Chapter 2, Section 5.L.1.b.). The city is not obligated to automatically approve the level of
development intensity requested for the IPUD. Instead, it is expected to approve only such level
of intensity that is appropriate for a particular location in terms of land use compatibilities
(Chapter 2, Section 5.L.1.c.). The proposed project contains no provision for guest parking.
There is no recreation area parking that often times provides for guest or overflow parking. In
addition, no tandem parking (driveway parking) has been provided for these large-size dwelling
units that may very well possess two (2), three (3), four (4) car households, not to mention storage
within the garage that can compromise necessary parking spaces. Therefore, staff recommends
providing surplus parking and the creation of a pedestrian walkway system, including a
connection to the public walkway (Chapter 2, Section 5.LA.c.).
Staff considers these plans to be at the final stage of site plan review, the last stage prior to permit
review. As such, all comments need to be addressed and shown on the plans prior to the TART
meeting.
..
It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the new site plan is publicly advertised in
accordance with Ordinance 04-007.
Approval of this project is contingent upon the approval of the accompanying request for
annexation (ANEX 06-002) and land use amendment 1 rezoning (LUAR 06-002).
A unity of title may be required. The Building Division of the Department of Development will
determine its applicability.
Abandonment and rededication of easements must be recorded prior to issuance of a building
permit for the project.
The traffic impact analysis must be approved by the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for
concurrency purposes prior to the issuance of any building permits.
The project must obtain approval from the School District of Palm Beach County regarding
school concurrency prior to the issuance of a building permit. It would be preferable to have this
approval prior to the Community Redevelopment Agency Board meeting (January 10,2006).
Applicants who wish to utilize City electronic media equipment for presentations at City
Commission Public Hearings must notify the Planning and Zoning Department representative at
least one week prior to the scheduled meeting.
Update the legal description of the survey.
Are these fee-simple townhouse units or townhouse-style condominium units? If fee-simple,
revise the site pan or provide an alternate plan showing the lot lines of the fee-simple area. Also,
will the 2nd story balconies extend outside of the fee-simple area?
The configuration of the property boundary on the site plan and landscape plan shall match the
survey. Likewise, the project acreage indicated in the site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of 1) should
match the project acreage on the survey.
The IPUD zoning district requires 200 square feet of usable open space per dwelling unit. The
plan proposes 25 dwelling units, and therefore, 5,000 square feet of usable open space is required
(Chapter 2, Section 5.L.3.). On the overall site plan tabular data (sheet 1 of 1), please indicate
that 5,000 square feet of usable open space is required. The pool 1 clubhouse area may be used to
meet this requirement.
On the site plan, show the location(s) of the mailbox kiosk(s).
On the site plan tabular data, indicate the square footage and percentage distribution of pervious
surface and also indicate the proposed lot coverage per Chapter 4, Section 7. Note that lot
coverage cannot exceed more than 50 percent (Chapter 2, Section 5.L.).
If a fence is required around the pool 1 clubhouse area, provide a detail of the fence including the
dimensions, material, and color (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.). Is the fence elevation shown on sheet
3 of 3, the fence elevation that will be around the pool?
The buffer wall 1 fence may not exceed six (6) feet in height (Chapter 2, Section 4.J.1.). Provide
a detail of the wall 1 fence and include its dimensions, exterior finish, material uses, and color(s).
...
All building elevations, including the cabana, should indicate paint manufacturer's name and
color codes (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
Include a color rendering of all elevations prior to the TART meeting (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.2.).
These will be on display at the public meetings.
Provide paint swatches for the elevations. Staff recommends using a color schedule (Chapter 4,
Section 7.D.).
Will there be a provision for outdoor patios, concrete patios, screen enclosures, or solid-roof
enclosures? Please discuss these amenities with staff prior to the Technical Advisory Review
Team (TART) meeting. The proposed setbacks for the aforementioned amenities need to be
indicated within the overall site plan tabular data.
On the floor plan of the townhouse buildings, graphically indicate the use of each room (i.e.
garage, bedroom, and kitchen). In addition, indicate the square footage and the number of
bedrooms for each unit.
Provide a detail of the water fountain (Chapter 4, Section 7.D.).
Provide a detail of a typical outdoor freestanding lighting fixture. The detail of the typical
freestanding outdoor lighting fixture should include the overall height, exterior finish, materials
used (i.e. concrete or aluminum) and color(s). The lighting fixture height, style, design, and
illumination level shall be compatible with the building design and height and shall consider
safety, function, and aesthetic value (Chapter 9, Section 10.F.1.).
Lighting shall not be of an intensity that produces glare on adjacent property (Chapter 9, Section
1O.F.2.).
Feature lighting emphasizing plants, trees, barriers, entrances, and exits is encouraged (Chapter 9,
Section 10.F.3.).
The code defines building height as follows: The vertical distance in feet measured from the
lowest point at the property line of an adjacent property or from the minimum base flood
elevation as established by FEMA, whichever is highest, to the highest point of the roof for flat
roofs, to the deck line for mansard roofs and parapet roofs with parapets less than five (5) feet in
height. Gable and hip roof heights shall be measured to the midpoint between the eaves and the
ridge. On all elevation pages, indicate the proposed building heights.
In order to ensure proper maintenance of the buffer areas, staff recommends converting them
from private property to "buffer tracts" that would be owned and maintained by the Home
Owners' Association.
On the landscape plan, the plant list should be such that it includes all plant material (species) and
respective quantities from all subsequent plans - a master plant list. Please note that some plants
were not identified on the landscape plan.
On the landscape plan, ensure that the plant quantities match between the tabular data and the
graphic illustration. What type of trees are proposed along the east property line?
...
Place a note on the site plan that all above ground mechanical equipment such as exterior utility
boxes, meters, transformers, and back-flow preventers shall be visually screened (Chapter 9,
Section 1O.CA.). Staffrecommends screening the at-grade AlC units proposed behind each unit
with native hedge material. Also, how will the lift-station be screened?
All trees, if proposed as trees, must be at least 12 feet in height and three (3) caliper inches at the
time of their installation (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.C.2.). This applies to the Green
Malayan Coconut palm.
Foundation landscaping shall be required in the front and side of each building in order to
enhance the visual appearance of the building and to promote privacy (Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5.L.).
Fifty percent (50%) of all site landscape materials must be native species (Chapter 7.5, Article II,
Section 5.P). Please categorize as follows: Canopy trees, Palm trees, Shrubs & Groundcover. On
the landscape plan), indicate the total quantities within each category and the native percentages.
All shrubs and hedges are required to be at minimum 24 inches in height, 24 inches in spread, and
planted with tip-to-tip spacing measured immediately after planting to adequately cover the
planted areas on the site (Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.CA.).
A signature tree (such as a Yellow Elder, Tibouchina Granulosa, or Bougainvillea) is required at
both sides of each project entrance 1 exit. The signature trees must have six (6) feet of clear trunk
if placed within the safe-sight triangle (Chapter 7.5, Article 2, Section 5.N.). Alternative plant
material may be substituted if the above referenced plant material is not available or undesired.
Any substitution of plant material (for the signature tree requirement) will be subject to the City
Forester 1 Environmentalist review and approval.
When wall or fences are constructed along rights-of-way (for multi-family projects), a hedge or
other groundcover is required along the street side of the wall 1 fence (Chapter 2, Section 4.1.1.).
All signage is subject to review and approval of the Community Redevelopment Agency and City
Commission. Will this development have a subdivision identification sign? If so, the sign face
may not exceed 32 square feet in area. Please provide a detail showing its dimensions, sign type,
exterior finish, letter font, and letter color(s) that comply with Chapter 21, Article IV, Section
l.D. The sign structure must be located at least 10 feet from the property line. Staff recommends
that the sign be externally lit, with ground up-lighting.
In the past, the CRA Board has been very diligent in requesting that developers provide a drawing
that shows what the project would look like when viewing the subject property from public
rights-of-way. Therefore, staff recommends providing a supplemental drawing that shows the
west elevations (along Federal Highway) that depicts the buildings with the plant material at time
of planting.
In the past, the CRA Board has been very diligent in requesting developers to provide a drawing
that shows what the project would look like when viewing the subject property from an adjacent
property, in this case, from the east. Therefore, staff recommends that you provide a
supplemental drawing that shows the east elevations that depicts the buildings with the plant
material at time of planting.
, -.
Include bike racks near the tot-lot or swimming pool area. Staff recommends that they be
covered or sheltered.
The subject site is located along Palm Tran Bus Route 1. A bus stop should be shown on the site
plan, along Federal Highway. Staff recommends installing an upgraded shelter. Coordinate with
Palm Tran and provide a written response at the TART meeting.
Staff recommends incorporating a buffer wall into the design of the east landscape buffer.
The massing at the roofline appears very flat/straight in nature. Staff recommends providing some
articulation in the roofline to provide varying heights and interest.
Provide additional architectural treatments to the side elevations visible from Federal Highway, to
alleviate large areas of blank wall.

Subject: Re: Commercial General zoning
yes sir, you are correct again...
Auto sales is a conditional use approval in the CG zoning district.
But, this particular property did not have a SE or conditional use approval. It looks like the use was considered
"grandfathered", since it existed before 1973. The reason for the ORC approval was because the the ULOC
requires a ORC aproval for any expansion, up to 10%, of a grandfathered use.

Tuscan Villas annexation
Pete,
The developer proposes to annex into the city, change the zoning to IPUD, and propose 22 fee-simple townhouse. Please
complete the folllowing:
The project is estimated to require a total of 9,560 gallons of potable water per day. The City's water capacity,
as increased through the purchase of up to 5 million gallons of potable water per day from Palm Beach County
Utilities, would meet the projected demand for this project. Additionally, sufficient sanitary sewer and
wastewater treatment capacity is currently available to serve the projected total of 4,300 gallons per day.
Thanks,
Eric Johnson

RE: Proposed setbacks for Tuscan Villas
Ok except for the rear (east) property line. Notwithstanding the county code setbacks of 15 feet for the rear property line,
what is the built setback? 15 or closer to 25? Also, another perspective is looking at this property from an annexation
scenario. Most property owners have signed an agreement for water service/annexation, allowing for annexation any day.
In the city, they would of course equate to a single family zoning district requiring a 25 foot rear setback. Are they built
close to a 25 feet rear setback now? Would that be compatible? What do you think about that? What about our discussion
about options for them to increase compatibility? Height, setback, etc. MR

Please disregard any email that I may have erroneously sent you regarding the setbacks for the above referenced
project.
Please review the following statement and let me know if you agree or disagree. Your feedback please. Thanks, Eric
The IPUD zoning district perimeter setbacks shall mirror setbacks of adjacent zoning district(s) but with a minimum
of the setback required for a single-family residence as determined by the orientation of the structures in the IPUD
(Chapter 2, Section 5.L.3.). The property to the north is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County and zoned
County CG. The side setback for a property zoned County CG is 15 feet. The site plan proposes 7.7 feet. This is
acceptable. The property to the east is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County zoned County RS. The rear
setback of the County RS zoning district is 15 feet. The site plan proposes 12 feet. This is acceptable. The property
to the south is located in unincorporated Palm Beach County and zoned CG. The side setback of the County CG
zoning district is 15 feet. The site plan proposes eight (8) feet. This is acceptable. Land to the west is right-of-way
for Federal Highway. Minimum required setbacks cannot be determined for the west property line.

John Huntington, Officer
Crime Prevention Unit
SUBJECT: Tuscan Villas
REFERENCES: Impacts of proposed site plan upon City Services
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the proposed site plan for Tuscan Villas.
For the purpose of the impact that this proposed site plan will have upon City Services, a statistical analysis
was completed to show the percentage of increase of police calls for service for the selected area.
This study showed that 11.5 % of all police calls for service were within this zone. This is an increase of 2.3%
over a one year period. It is estimated that the addition of all future residential/business projects will have a 7%
increase to this zone's police call for service. Additional Officers and equipment will be needed to support this
Increase.
Currently, there are numerous site plans for future residential projects along the 2000 - 3600 block of S.
Federal Highway.
1. Moreno Bay
2. Coastal Bay
3. Colony Club
4. Oceanside
5. Watershed
6. Waterside
7. Gulfstream Gardens II
The projected growth along S. Federal Highway will have a direct impact on future public safety issues, to
include calls for service. The demand for more police personnel and equipment will be needed to balance the
increase in population and non residential traffic into our city.

New development projects involving multi-family or high-density commercial
projects should be approved contingent upon consideration of future
upgrades in emergency dispatch capability. These enhancements include
new technology related to CAD, GIS, and AVL capability, as well as adequate
staffing. All other factors (personnel, training, technology, fire station
placement, building design features, etc) depend on a reliable and efficient
method of getting the resources provided where they are needed in time to
mitigate the consequences of an emergency, regardless of the type of
response.
