PROJECT NO. 06-2025 Dear Mr. Rumpf: I'm enclosing a copy of a letter dated May 22, 2006 from Mr. Masoud Atefi of Palm Beach County staff relative to our Traffic Statement (also attached) that was submitted to ascertain if a right turn lane would be warranted for the final 34 dwelling units of the Meadows Townhomes Project. The intent of the letter was to address only the need for a right turn lane into the project based on the latest County standard. I cannot ascertain why the letter was sent to Palm Beach County to address the County Traffic Performance Standard. As noted in our May 16, 2006 letter the project is expected to generate only 17 PM peek hour inbound trips and as such the inclusion of a right turn lane is not warranted in accordance with the Palm Beach County Land Development Designs Standards Manual. I apologize for any confusion in this matter and I hope this provides further clarification relative to the need for the proposed right turn lane. As always should you have any questions regarding this matter please feel free to contact me directly. D nnis J.

Cohen & Associates P .A. 2941 West Cypress Creek Road, Suite 102 Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309 RE: MEADOWS TOWNHOMES CONGRESS AVENUE @ HYPOLUXO ROAD PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA TINTER ASSOCIATES. INC. PROJECT NO. 06-2025 Dear Mr. Patel: This letter will serve as a Trip Generation Statement for the development of 34 townhomes to be located in the general area of Hypoluxo Road and Congress Avenue in central Palm Beach County, Florida. The office of Tinter Associates, Inc. has been retained to analyze the need for a right turn lane into the project that will serve only the proposed 34 dwelling units. In order to estimate the potential trip generation activity from the proposed site, Palm Beach County provides trip generation rates in conjunction with the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITEl Trip Generation manual, th Edition. In accordance with the TPS Ordinance, only peak hour trip generation is considered. For informational purposes, AM peak hour and daily trip generation activity is also shown. As noted from Table 1, the proposed project is expected to generate 25 PM peak hour trips of which 17 will be inbound and 8 will be outbound. The Palm Beach County Land Development Desian Standards Manual mandates the inclusion of a right turn lane when there is at least 75 right turns inbound during the peak hour. Of course this is not the case and as such a right turn lane is not warranted. Should you have any questions regarding this matter or need further information, please feel free to contact me directly.
