REQUEST
Hoch Associates is the architect and representing agent for Comcast Cable in this submission for Minor Site Plan
Modification and Building Permit approval for an existing building addition on site currently occupied by Comcast
and located in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach County FL Project proposes a 396 SF 1 story building addition to the
existing unoccupied concrete block telecommunications equipment building.
LOCATION/ACREAGE
Comcast currently owns the site identified above. Total site area is 2.410 Acres. Site is located just north of W
Boynton Beach Blvd on the West side of Industrial Ave.
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Comcast presently operates an unoccupied telecommunication equipment building on this site that houses fiber
optic cable TV and data equipment servicing the Boynton Beach community. This electrical equipment gives fiber
optic lines a signal regeneration. Comcast proposes to expand the current building with an 18' x 22' one story
concrete block addition. The construction and materials are to match existing building type and color. This
addition will allow for additional space Comcast requires to both upgrade existing and add new equipment needed
to support expanding telecommunications services the Boynton Beach community requires. The current building
is a key infra structure component on the existing Comcast fiber route that services the community. The building
addition proposed will not change the current use or function of the existing structure.
The current outdoor emergency back-up power generator will continue to be used for this building. There will be
no new antennas, towers, or dishes erected at the site as part of this project or approval.
WATER SUPPLY/LIQUID WASTE/SOLID WASTE
Facility will remain locked and unoccupied. This is an unmanned facility with no plumbing or waste. There will be
no water or sewage utility required or provided. No waste or trash will be accumulated as a result of the
proposed development.
ACCESSITRAFFIC IMPACTS
There will continue to be minimal visits to the site. The visits will be infrequent depending on the need to adjust or
maintain equipment. There will be an estimated 1 visit per month+/- to this site for maintenance and system
"check-up." This building addition will not further impact the existing traffic patterns of this area. Existing site
access drive off of Industrial Ave will continue to be used during maintenance visits.
OUTSIDE NIGHTTIME ENVIRONMENT
The outside lighting proposed on the site is (1) wall mounted light unit centered on each fa<;ade of the building
addition. The wall pack is a photocell unit, downward directed with a 1 OOw quartz bulb.
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
No emissions or noise generation will be created from the normal operation of the building or site. Existing
Generator will remain at this site but only operate at times of power outage or for routine maintenance.
Thank you for your consideration of this building addition. If you have any questions regarding this project please
contact me toll free at 866-546-4624. I look forward to your response and or approval of this addition.
Thank you again,
Brian S Hobbs, Project Architect
