REVIEW COMMENTS 7.C.l MEADOWS TOWNHOMES (NWSP 07-005) NEW SITE PLAN DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING DIVISION MEMORANDUM NO. PZ 07-118 STAFF REPORT FROM: Chair and Members Planning and Devel~ent Board and City Commission Michael Rumpl.;.JJ Planning and Zoning Director Ed Breese ~ Principal Planner TO: THRU: DATE: November 2, 2007 PROJECT NAME/NO: Meadows Townhomes / NWSP 07-005 REQUEST: New Site Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: NICO Development, Inc. Applicant: Mr. James M. Beeson, Jr. Agent: Mr. Steven Cohen - Steven L. Cohen & Associates, P.A. Location: 100 Meadows Circle, north of Meadows Boulevard, approximately 2,500 feet west of Congress Avenue (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) Existing Land Use/Zoning: Low Density Residential (LDR) (4.84 du/ac) / Planned Unit Development (PUD) Proposed Land Use/Zoning: No Change Proposed Use: Request site plan approval for 34 townhouse units Acreage: 7.966 acres (346,978 square feet) Adjacent Uses: North: Freedom Shores Elementary School, with a land use designation of Moderate Density Residential (MODR) and zoned Single-Family Residential (R-1); South: Immediately south are developed condominiums in Tracts G & H of the Meadows PUD (Meadows on the Green, fka Club Meadows), and farther south are the rights- of-ways of Meadows Boulevard and Springfield Boulevard; Staff Report - Meadows Townhomes (NWSP 07-005) Memorandum No PZ 07-118 Page 2 East: To the northeast is Freedom Shores Elementary School, with a land use designation of Moderate Density Residential (MODR) and zoned Single-Family Residential (R-1) and to the southeast are developed condominiums in Tracts G & H of the Meadows PUD (Meadows on the Green, fka Club Meadows); and West: Developed single-family residential (Nautica Sound PUD), with a land use designation of Low Density Residential (LDR) and zoned PUD. Site Characteristic: According to the survey, the subject site is currently developed with only a three (3) acre lake and a portion of the pathway that borders the lake and continues onto Tract G (Meadows on the Green Condominiums). Also, a bermed buffer easement runs along the west side of the parcel abutting Nautica Sound PUD, along with a 10-foot wide FPL easement. The highest elevation on the berm is 21.52 feet, located approximately at the midpoint of the west property line, while the highest elevation of natural ground is a point 17.79 feet above sea level, located near the northeast corner of the property. Proposal: Concurrency: Traffic: Drainage: School: BACKGROUND Mr. Steven Cohen, agent for NICO Development, Inc., proposes to develop the subject property with 34 townhouse dwelling units. The project also involves the slight reconfiguration of the lake and pathway amenities and would be built in one (1) phase. The site previously received City Commission approval for 34 townhouse units in 2006. However, the property was subsequently sold and the approvals expired before the new owner submitted for building permits. The subject site plan is practically identical to the previously approved project, with noted modifications including the introduction of garages with each unit, the elimination of the lift station and dumpsters, and the building facades were slightly changed with the inclusion of garages. ANALYSIS A traffic statement was previously sent to the Palm Beach County Traffic Division for concurrency review in order to ensure an adequate level of service. The City received a letter from Palm Beach County Traffic Division, dated June 7, 2006, indicating that the project is part of a pre-1990 approved PUD, and therefore meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The Engineering Division has found the conceptual information to be adequate and is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time of permit review. All South Florida Water Management District permits and other drainage related permits must be submitted at time of building permit (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). No confirmation of school concurrency has yet been received from the School District of Palm Beach County. As such, no building permits may be issued until Staff Report - Meadows Townhomes (NWSP 07-005) Memorandum No PZ 07-118 Page 3 the School District of Palm Beach County confirms that adequate capacity exists to accommodate the proposed 34 units (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). Driveways: The site plan (Sheet A1.2) shows that one (1) point of ingress / egress is proposed at the southwest corner of the property, running south through the Meadows on the Green Condominiums and connecting to a short drive running west off of Meadows Boulevard. This entrance / exit, when scaled from the plans, appears to be approximately 44 feet in width, with four (4) 10 foot lanes and a landscape island/median between. This drive is proposed to be gated from the condominium complex immediately to the south. Parking Facility: The project consists of three (3) bedroom dwelling units, which require two (2) parking spaces per unit. The project proposes 34 residential units and therefore, would require 68 parking spaces. The applicant has provided three (3) parking spaces per unit and a total of 121 parking spaces, or an excess of 53 spaces. The parking is proposed within individual garages and along the drive aisle in front of each building. Parking spaces are dimensioned 9.5' X 18.5', with a drive aisle dimension of 25 '. Landscaping: According to the site plan tabular data (Sheet A1.2), the proposed pervious area would total 34.42% of the site. Additionally, 3.03 acres of the subject property would be set aside for the existing lake centrally located on the parcel. The landscape data (Sheet LP-2) indicates that 73% of the shade and palm trees would be native. The landscape data indicates that 52% of the shrubs would also be native. The plan shows that a bermed landscape buffer 15-feet in width exists on the west perimeter of the property, abutting Nautica Sound PUD. This berm is planted with areca palms in an effort to form a solid landscape buffer. Staff recommends that any gaps within the existing buffer, due to missing or damaged landscape material, be planted with areca palms similar in size, to re-establish the landscape buffer (see Exhibit "C" - Conditions of Approval). A five (5) foot landscape buffer is proposed along the north property line abutting Freedom Shores Elementary School. The landscape plan indicates that the north buffer would also contain areca palms to be planted at a height between 5 and 6 feet, and the east buffer along the school is designed to vary in width to follow the walking path around the lake and would contain Live Oak, Gumbo Limbo and Orange Geiger trees, as well as Sabal palms. The south buffer abutting the Meadow on the Green condominium complex is proposed to be planted with Gumbo Limbo and Yellow Elder trees. The typical landscape design around the townhome buildings consists of silver buttonwood, firebush, and myrsine material/foundation plantings, thryallis, fakahatchee grass and arbicola accent shrubs, along with Orange Geiger and Silver Buttonwood trees and Alexander and Sabal palm trees. Building and Site: The PUD regulations require that perimeter buffers and setbacks within PUDs must mirror those in abutting development to ensure adequate separation between buildings. The building setbacks in the Nautica Sound Planned Unit Development to the west were approved with rear setbacks of 15 feet abutting the proposed Staff Report - Meadows Townhomes (NWSP 07-005) Memorandum No PZ 07-118 Page 4 Design: Signage: Meadows Townhomes parcel. As mentioned earlier, there is an existing 15-foot bermed landscape buffer on the proposed townhome parcel adjacent to Nautica Sound. The closest any of the town home units are proposed to Nautica Sound's east property line is 26' - 4", at the northwest corner of the townhouse property, with the aforementioned landscape berm in between. This is approximately five (5) feetfurther from Nautica Sound than the originally approved plan. Atthe northeast corner, the townhomes would be setback 21' - 0" from the Freedom Shores Elementary School property line, which is approximately seven (7) feet closer than the original approval. Finally, at the south end of the property, the town homes are proposed to be in excess of 145 feet from the first condominium building in the Meadows on the Green complex. The seven (7) town home buildings, totaling 34 units, are arranged around the lake in clusters of four (4) and six (6) units. The elevations show that the mean height of the two (2) story homes measures approximately 25 feet in height and the peak of the roof would be 28 feet - eight (8) inches tall, well below the maximum height allowed in the PUD zoning district of 45 feet. The project proposes the townhouse units as three (3) bedroom/2.5 bath, with air-conditioned living areas ranging between 1,573 and 1,588 square feet. Architecturally, the design of the buildings would probably be considered "contemporary", with a touch of Mediterranean Revival. The townhomes would be two (2) stories tall, with a hip/gable roof combination. The proposed roofing material would be a Certainteed shingle roof tile called "Fieldstone", which has the appearance of a variety of umber earthtones. The elevations show that the exterior finish of the walls would be textured stucco. The applicant is proposing the following colors: The lower portion of the exterior wall area would be painted a medium tan (Benjamin Moore - Beeswax #2157-40). The body of the wall area, which contains the greatest portion of mass, would be painted a light tan color (Benjamin Moore - Crisp Straw #2157-50). The accent moldings and fascia would be a cream color (Benjamin Moore - Tudor Cream #2157-60). The columns and decorative moldings at each doorway and decorative louvers would be painted an ivory white color (Benjamin Moore - Ivory Tower#2157-70). Lastly, the doors, shutters and decorative railings would be a muted green color (Benjamin Moore - Aegean Teal #2136-40). The applicant is proposing a CBS monument sign, approximately four (4) foot tall by eight (8) foot in width, painted to match the townhouse wall colors, with black lettering. RECOMMENDATION: The Technical Advisory Review Team (TART) has reviewed this request for new site plan approval. Staff recommends approval of the site plan, subject to satisfying all comments indicated in Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional conditions recommended by the Board or approved by the City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

Additionally the plans were reviewed against the Conditions of Approval of the expired 2006 Development Order. Following are our comments with the appropriate Code and Land Development Regulations (LDR) referenced. PUBLIC WORKS - SOLID WASTE 1. Prior to permit application contact the Public Works Department (561-742-6200) regarding the storage and handling of refuse per the CODE, Section 10-26 (a). PUBLIC WORKS - FORESTRY & GROUNDS 2. It may be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LDR, Chapter 23, Article II, Section A.1.b.) 3. Indicate by note on the Landscape Plan that within the sight triangles there shall be an unobstructed cross-visibility at a level between 2.5-ft. and 8-ft. above the pavement (LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5.H.) 4. Staff strongly recommends placing canopy trees far enough back from drive aisles to minimize the potential for vertical conflicts with high-profile vehicles (such as for solid waste pickup.) PUBLIC WORKS - TRAFFIC 5. Add signage identifying resident and visitor lanes. 6. Identify call box location on plans. ENGINEERING 7.. Show on the engineering plan what erosion control measures will be used on the project during construction (LDR, Chapter 6, Article III, Section 4 and Article V, Section 4.B.2.i(7); Chapter 8, Article III, Section A.1.a(9) and (10), and Article V.) Specify on the plans that erosion and sedimentation control will be addressed using Best Management Practices (BMPs.) Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 07-113 RE: Meadows Townhomes, New Site Plan -1st Review, NWSP 07-005 October 4,2007 Page 2 8. At the time of permitting, all projects one-acre or larger shall submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the FDEP for coverage under the NPDES Generic Permit. Copies of the NOI shall be provided to the City of Boynton Beach Department of Public Works/Engineering Division and Utilities DepartmenVEngineering Division. 9. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be reflected on all appropriate sheets. 10. 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 at permit review. 11. Upon satisfactory Commission approval of the site plan, the applicant shall enter the record plat process through the City's Engineering Division. A preliminary record plat application may be initiated during the site plan review to expedite issuance of the Land Development Permit. 12. Provide written and graphic scales on all sheets, including Landscape Plans. 13. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5 and Section 1 O.z will be required at the time of permitting. 14. Paving, drainage and site details will not be reviewed for construction acceptability at this time. All engineering construction details shall be in accordance with the applicable City of Boynton Beach Standard Drawings and the "Engineering Design Handbook and Construction Standards" and will be reviewed at the time of construction permit application. UTILITIES 15. Please provide a timeline that clearly illustrates when water and sewer services will be required to serve the proposed project. Your starting date for the timeline should be the date of City Commission approval. Also provide milestone dates for permit application, the start of construction, and the setting of the first water meter. This timeline will be used to determine the adequacy of water and wastewater treatment capacity for your project upon the project's completion, so please be as accurate as possible. 16. All utility easements and utility lines shall be fully shown on the site plan landscape plans (as well as the Water and Sewer Plans) 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. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives public utilities the authority to remove any trees that may interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or public rights-of-way. Relocate light poles and canopy trees out of utility easements. Wastewater utility easement segments are only partially shown on sheet C-5 of 10, none to the connection along Hypoluxo Road. Where proposed wastewater system exceeds 5 feet in depth, the utility easement will increase in width; refer to Utility Dept. standard drawing G-5 and others for minimum easement width required. 17. Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). Dept. of Public Works, Engineering Division Memo No. 07-113 RE: Meadows Townhomes, New Site Plan -1st Review, NWSP 07-005 October 4, 2007 Page 3 18.

The CODE, Section 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. 20. Comprehensive Plan Policy 3.C.3.4. requires the conservation of potable water. As other sources are readily available City water shall not be allowed for irrigation. 21. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility easements in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 6. 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(e). 22. This office will not require surety for installation of the water and sewer utilities, on condition 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. 23. 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 the CODE, Section 26-15. 24. The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(0) requires Master Plans to show all utilities on or adjacent to the proposed tract. The plan must therefore show the point of service for water and sewer, and the proposed off-site utilities construction needed in order to service this project. 25. The LDR, Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 3(P) requires a statement be included that utilities are available and will be provided by all other appropriate agencies.
