West Palm Beach, Fl33405
Re: Boynton Lofts (MMSP 07-038) 2nd Review
Dear Mr. Seifert:
The City of Boynton Beach staff has reviewed the second set of revisions to your plans for the
above-mentioned project. The following comments are being forwarded to you for your review and
response:
o On the east elevation of Tower 1, staff recommends the reversion to the metal canopies with
supports affixed to the wall above the canopy structure, as originally approved, and which
better conform with the design of the building.
vi On the east elevation of Tower 1, staff recommends the indentation of the area encompassing
all four (4) windows on each end tower of that fac;ade, to provide for recessed windows as
originally approved and in keeping with the overall building design. The Design Guidelines
call for windows to be recess a minimum distance of four (4) inches. Staff would be satisfied
with the same design as originally approved for these locations.
vi Staff recommends the addition of the same metal canopies noted in comment #1 above, on
the retail windows of the north and south elevations of Tower 1.
~ On the side elevations of Tower 1, the open stairwells should have accent lighting to add
V some architectural flair to this rather boxy component. Additionally, staff recommends the
small square accents be utilized in conjunction with the stairwell, in such a fashion that they
actually penetrate the wall to let light show through in an artistic manner.
5. On the west (rear) elevation of Tower 2, the first floor elevation is too blank/plain. Staff
recommends addition of architectural treatments for the walls, and greater attention to the
parking garage tunnel openings.
o On the north side elevation of Tower 2, the pool area has direct view into the garage and
parked vehicles. Staff recommends that planter boxes be incorporated in those openings and
that the landscape plan depict plant material taller than hedge material along this fac;ade.
Although the applicant's response indicates the inclusion ofthese planter boxes, they do not
appear to be depicted on any ofthe drawings. Additionally, the new hedge material along the
north side ofthe garage (MC) is not indicated on the Plant List. Lastly, canopy trees were
eliminated along the west side of the pool due to utility locations. Staff recommends the
. Page 2
June 4, 2007
replacement of those canopy trees eliminated, with dense/low growing palms, which can be
planted in utility easements.
~ On the south side elevation of Tower 2, the walls are too plain and unadorned. Staff
recommends addition of architectural treatments. It is unclear why there needs to be an
opening on the first floor of the garage along this wall, especially in such close proximity to
the garage opening out into the parking field between towers.
- 8. Additional trees of a greater height against the mass ofthe buildings are needed around the
east, north, and south sides of Tower 1 and the west and north sides of Tower 2. The
applicant has amended the plan and calls for 28 Washingtonia Palms between 30-35 feet.
Staff recommends a minimum of half of these trees be Royal Palms.
V The light values depicted on the Photometries plan are too high, with hot spots as high as 22
foot-candles in the surface parking area, and 72 at the garage entrance. These figures are
entirely too high. The overall average is supposed to be in the realm of one (1) foot candle,
with no more than 50% below 0.5. Please revise accordingly.
0>. The Photometrics plan appears to have light fixtures located within parking stalls and drive
aisles.
vi The color ofthe poles and light fixtures were not provided. Additionally, sag lens will not be
allowed, as all lenses and bulbs must be shielded. Lastly, no details were provided for the
gooseneck light fixtures to be placed on the walls.
12. A meeting was held with James Seifert of Addison Properties 5/22/07 to discuss the change
in site layout and its effect on solid waste storage and pickup. A staging area outside the
building was to be provided for the dumpster containers to be staged for pickup. The area
provided will not be able to be accessed for use by Solid Waste. The area will need to be
angled to provide the required clear backup distances required (minimum 60-ft.)
Additionally no area has been provided for bulk trash or recyclables.
- 13. The Landscape plan does not reflect the addition of the "Rollout Space." Please correct
using the final area determined from Comment #12.
_ 14. Delineate and stripe a "Loading Area" (LDR, Chapter 2, Section 11.1); include a pavement
message in yellow indicating "No Parking - Loading Zone".
15. Depict all utility easements and utility lines on the landscape plans so that we may determine
which appurtenances, trees or shrubbery interfere with utilities. In general, palm trees will be
the only tree species allowed within utility easements. Please correct.
16. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all
appropriate sheets. Neither the Landscape nor Civil plan reflect the changes to the Site plan.

issuance of any permits.
19. The CRA staffhas the following comments:
A. Building 1 and 2- North and South Elevation
~ Create vertical bands of composition between building base, mid-section and roof.

Re: Boynton Lofts (MMSP 07-038)
Dear Mr. Seifert:
The City of Boynton Beach staff has reviewed the revisions to your plans for the above-mentioned
project. The following comments are being forwarded to you for your review and response:
/ The retail parking is denoted on the plans as office space and is being calculated at one (1)
parking space per 250 square feet of gross space. The appropriate calculation is 1/200 for
retail space, which will require additional parking.
~ The closets depicted in various rooms on certain models, such as B, C, & G, will require
those rooms to be treated as additional bedrooms in the permit plan review, which again, will
require additional parking spaces.
0' Sheet ASP-1 denotes a variance list. Are any variances being requested? If so, this review
will be upgraded to a Major Site Plan Modification.
vv.: Sheet AB-1.1 depicts an incorrect square footage for Retail C.
~ There does not appear to be any rear doors for the retail spaces. What is the method for
receiving deliveries? Staff recommends rear access to these spaces. It also is advisable to
create entrances for customers from the parking garage.
~ The building elevations require labeling for various building components, the material of
construction and color application.
~ Color elevations of all sides of all buildings are required.
~ On the east elevation of Tower 1, are the coverings over certain doors awnings of some
nature? Staff recommends the reversion to the metal canopies with supports originally
t::\ approved, and which better conform with the design of the building.
LV On the east elevation of Tower 1, staff recommends the indentation ofthe area encompassing
all four (4) windows on each end tower of that fayade, to provide for recessed windows as
originally approved and in keeping with the overall building design.
~ On the east elevation of Tower 1, staff recommends that the small square accents originally
~~ approved in the center portion of the fayade be re-incorporated into the design.
D The side elevations of Tower 1 are too plain and unadorned. Staff recommends addition of
architectural treat ents \!1Jl{'n a.sgrealer articulation, scoring, etc. Staff also recommends the
addition of the same metal canopies oted in comment #8 above, on the retail windows on
the first floor and the inc USlOn ofthe square accents noted in comment #10 above.
'.

@on the side elevations of Tower 1, the open stairwells should have accent lighting to add
some architectural flair to this rather boxy component. Additionally, staff recommends the
small square accents, noted in comment # 10 above, be utilized in conjunction with the
stairwell, in such a fashion that they actually penetrate the wall to let light show through in an
artistic manner.
~ The windows on the side elevations do not appear to match the floor plans ofthe individual
_ . units. Please review and verify that they correspond.
(G))n the west (rear) elevation of Tower 2, the first floor elevation is too blank/plain. Staff
recommends addition of architectural treatments for the walls, and greater attention to the
~ng garage tunnel opening~
@on the north side elevation of Tower 2, the pool area has direct view into the garage and
kPP "p(i.C(); ~ parked vehicles. Staff recommends that planter boxes be incorporated in those openings and
srva-o >t< . ~at the landscape plan depict plant material taller than hedge material alon this fayade.
~n the south side elevation of Tower 2, th wa s are too plain and unadorne . Staff
recommends addition of architectural treatments. It is unclear why there nee s to be an
opening on the first floor ofthe garage along this wall, especially in such close proximity to
the garage opening out into the parking field between towers. Additionally, in the same area,
the comer of this portion of the building appears to setback 16 feet from the south property
line, yet there are no openings, even though this appears to be a bedroom and balcony area,
with opportunity to provide something other than a blank wall.
!4-v ,}J I 1 @ According to the design guidelines, there should be no sod placed between the building and
f}S1(fb< ~. ~ right-of-way. The sod should be replaced with landscape material ofthe same type being
tI'? t . tilized in the planting scheme already in the same vicinity.
~ ~ 8 dditional trees of a greater height against the mass of the buildings are needed around the
fOOt.- ~ ~'(east, north, and south sides of Tower 1 and the west and north sides of Tower 2.
fJb-( fJ/J t ~. The paver area on the east side of Tower 1 needs to increase in order to comply with COA
".. c.. tI ~ . #54, creating a larger pedestrian / public gathering space, thereby meeting the intent of the
r:')~ MU zoning district. Staff recommends the elimination of the planter island in the center of
r~ the building and retaining the Medjool Palm in a tree grate amongst the pavers.
1"~ ~W The light values depicted on the Photometrics plan are too high, with hot spots as high as 22
~o tf1 foot-candles in the surface parking area, and 72 at the garage entrance. The overall average is
supposed to be in the realm of one (1) foot candle, with no more than 50% below 0.5.
. Additionally, the foot-candles at the property line should be zero. Please revise accordingly.
@The Photometrics plan appears to have light poles located within parking stalls and drive
aisles.

were able to be located on the revised plan. Please clearly indicate on the plans how solid

located on the revised plan. Please clearly indicate on the plans how solid waste storage and pickup
will be handled.
2. COA #2 from the DO issued 4/22/05 required a detail of the interior of the compactor storage room
