RE: MEADOWS TOWNHOMES
CONGRESS AVENUE @ HYPOLUXO ROAD
PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA
TINTER ASSOCIATES, INC. 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.

TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS REVIEW
Dear Michael:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic statement for the

Performance Standards in Article 12 of the Palm Beach County Land Development
Code. The project is summarized as follows:

Based on our review, the Traffic Division has the following comments:
. It is not clear if the statement is a request for a TPS concurrency letter. If so,
then a traffic study is required.
. Use a daily trip generation rate of 71DU, as required by the County.
. Provide a build-out date.
. Provide the exact site location, as well as information on the existing uses.
If you have any questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.

RE: MEADOWS TOWNHOMES

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.
Sincerely,
D~r
