November 28, 2006 North General Building / NWSP 07 - 001 New Site Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION Property Owner: Applicant/ Agent: Location: Dr. Jean Renelien of United Medical Enterprises, Inc. Roy Dunworth of Dunworth Construction, Inc. West side of N. Federal Highway; South of the C-16 Canal (see Exhibit "A" - Location Map) Existing Land Use/Zoning: General Commercial (GC) / General Commercial (C-4) Proposed Land Use/Zoning: No change proposed Proposed Use: Acreage: Adjacent Uses: North: South: East: West: Request site plan approval for a two-story, 3,990 square foot office building and related site improvements on a 14,177 square foot parcel. 0.326 acres (14,177) Developed commercial property (U-Haul), zoned C-4, and farther north the C-16 canal; Developed commercial property (Platinum Showgirls), zoned C-4, and farther south general commercial zoned C-4; N. Federal Highway right-of-way, and father east developed commercial property, zoned C-4; and The F.E.C. Railroad, and father west residential properties zoned, R-2. Staff Report - North General Building (NWSP 07-001) Memorandum No PZ 06-212 Page 2 Site Characteristic: The subject parcel is a relatively rectangular piece of land approximately 166 feet long with the width tapering from approximately 88 feet to 82 feet. The parcel fronts on the west side of N. Federal Highway, one parcel south of the C-16 canal, and backs up to the F.E.C. Railroad. BACKGROUND Proposal: Dr. Jean Renelien proposes to construct a two-story, 3,990 square foot office building with 18 parking spaces. ANALYSIS Concurrency: Traffic: A traffic concurrency approval letter has not yet been received from Palm Beach County Traffic Engineering. No permits will be issued until this letter is received by the City of Boynton Beach (see Exhibit "Cft - Conditions of Approval). Drainage: Conceptual drainage information was provided for the City's review. The Engineering Division has found the conceptual information for the subject property to be adequate and is recommending that the review of specific drainage solutions be deferred until time of permit review (see Exhibit "Cft - Conditions of Approval). School: This project is exempt from the school concurrency requirements of Palm Beach County. Driveways: The subject property fronts on N. Federal Highway. Proposed on-site circulation is one-way, and consists of a single entrance at the northern end of the parcel (accommodating southbound Federal Highway traffic), and a single exit at the southern end. The driveway maintains a width of twenty-two (22) feet throughout the development. Eighteen (18) parking spaces would be available (including two handicapped spaces), which are diagonally positioned around the exterior boundaries of the site. The single exit returns traffic to southbound N. Federal highway. The circulation pattern has been reviewed and endorsed by engineering for ease of waste removal and emergency access purposes. Parking Facility: Parking required for this type of facility is based on two formulas. The first floor consists of medical offices, and therefore requires one (1) parking space per 200 square feet of office space, for a total of ten (10) parking spaces. The second floor consists of general offices, and therefore requires one (1) parking space per 300 square feet of office space, for a total of eight (8) parking spaces. Typical parking spaces are 9 feet in width, and an unspecified length (the length to be specified, see Exhibit "Cft - Conditions of Approval). The handicapped spaces are twelve (12) feet in width, and twenty (20) feet in length, with the required five (5) foot band of striping. Pedestrian walks will be constructed of paver stones, to act as a means of identifying appropriate pedestrian walkways, calm traffic, and enhance the aesthetics of the parking area. The plan as designed accommodates 18 parking Staff Report - North General Building (NWSP 07-001) Memorandum No PZ 06-212 Page 3 spaces, including 2 handicap spaces, and has been reviewed by staff of the Engineering Division for accessibility to waste removal and emergency vehicles. Landscaping: The proposed pervious or "greenft area of the lot would be 3,273 square feet or 23% of the total site. The landscape plan tabular data (Exhibit B) indicates that 20 trees, 8 palms and 947 shrubs and groundcover are being provided. Typical trees being utilized in the planting scheme includes Live Oak and Bougainvillea, along with Christmas, Foxtail, and Silver Bismark palms. Shrub materials selected for the site include Cocoplum, Podocarpus, Indian Hawthorne, and Schefflera Arboricola. Two signature trees (Bougainvillea) are proposed to be planted at the entrance. Approximately 53% of the proposed trees are native. 40% of the shrubs and groundcover are currently depicted as native, inadequate in comparison with the required 50% which will be necessary at time of permitting (see Exhibit "Cft - Conditions of Approval). The proposed buffers meet code regulations and are consistent with surrounding sites. Decorative walls will front Federal highway, along with decorative gates that will be opened throughout daytime hours and closed in the evening. A typical six (6) foot fence will surround the development on the northern, western, and southern boundaries. Building and Site: Building and site regulations will be fully met when staff comments are incorporated into the permit drawings. The proposed two-story office building would have a typical roof height of 36 feet -3 inches, measured to the top of the highest gabled roof. The roof reaches a height of 34 feet -5 inches, measured at the mean height between the fascia and peak. The maximum allowed height in the C-4 zoning district is 45 feet. The building has been brought forward to a five (5) foot setback in conformance with the requirements of the Urban Commercial District Overlay Zone. Design: The color rendering indicates that the building would be designed as a contemporary office building with details of the Key WestjFloribbean style consistent with adjacent Heart of Boynton Redevelopment area. Sheet A4 provides an illustration of the building facades, with a stucco finish, score lines, banding around the recessed windows, decorative trims and moldings, "bahamaft-type shutters, and a standing seam metal roof. The first and second floors of the building and accent trim would be painted a brighter yellow (Porter Paints - "Sun Amberft L6172-4). The accent trim color is proposed to be painted a creamy beige (Porter Paints - "White Goldft T6901-1). The roof of the building is proposed to be painted a deep green (Porter Paints - "Dublin Delightft D6311-5). The building style, materials and colors are compatible with surrounding development. Signage: The site signage, according to Sheet A1, will consist of a monument sign four (4) feet tall at the top of the support column, designed to compliment various components of the building. The sign as proposed complies with code regulations, which allow a maximum height of five (5) feet. The sign will follow the overall design characteristics of the building, including scoring, banding, materials and colors. The tenant lettering on the sign is designed to be consistent for any and all tenants the applicant is working with. Staff Report- North General Building (NWSP 07-001) Memorandum No PZ 06-212 Page 4 Public Art: The applicant is required to demonstrate compliance with the newly adopted requirement for developments to provide public art work (see Exhibit "Cft - Conditions of Approval). A water feature is proposed at the northern end of the building, just south of the entrance driveway. The artwork will enhance the ambiance of the proposed development. Ultimate review and approval of the artist and type of artwork is still pending by the Arts Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this request for new site plan approval. Staff recommends approval, contingent upon all comments indicated in Exhibit "Cft - Conditions of Approval. Staff recommends that the deficiencies identified in this exhibit be corrected on the set of plans submitted for building permit. Also, any additional conditions recommended by the Board or City Commission shall be documented accordingly in the Conditions of Approval.

A statistical analysis was completed to show the percentage of increase of police calls for service for the selected project. With the projected development throughout the city, an estimated 7% increase in population can be expected. A 5% increase in calls for service is expected due to this current growth. In relation to total calls for service to the zone, one officer handled 10,367 calls or 15% of all calls for service. In addition, there are two residential attached town home projects soon to be completed from 1400 N, Federal Highway to Gateway Blvd. The new planned communities will increase calls for service by an estimated 5% for one officer. Service requirements for the police department will be greatly impacted and the demand for more police personnel and equipment will be needed to balance the increase in population and non residential traffic into our city, ~ .....

Indicate by note that catch basin and manhole covers shall be bicycle proof (LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5.A.2.g). 21. Specify storm sewer diameters, inlets types, etc. on drainage plan, Indicate grate, rim and invert elevations for all structures. Indicate grade of storm sewer segments. Indicate material specifications for storm sewer. 22. Full drainage plans, including drainage calculations, in accordance with the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5 will be required at the time of permitting. 23. 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 24. No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore these plans are considered incomplete as submitted. However, the proposed Site Plan is an existing site located within the Utilities' service area, and is located where utility (water onlv) support is readily available. We are providing only a cursory review of the proposed site plans as submitted at this time. Additional comments may be generated after the required plans are submitted and reviewed at the TARTs meeting. 25. 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. 26. All utility easements and utility lines shall be shown on the site plan and 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.

Palm Beach County Health Department permits will be required for the water and sewer systems serving this project (CODE, Section 26-12). Please note that our utility atlas maps show that the closest sanitary gravity sewer is located on the west of the FECRR right-of-way. 28. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g.p.m. (500 g.p.m. some residential developments) with 20 p.s.i. residual pressure as stated in the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (CODE, Section 26-16(b)). 29. The LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16 requires that all points on each building will be within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants. 30. 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. 31. 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. However, this will be reviewed during the detail permit review process, since this property is located on the cusp of the delineated salt intrusion area. 32. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the City shall be included within utility easements. 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(a). 33. 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. 34. 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. 35, Appropriate backflow preventer(s) will be required on the domestic water service to the building, and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with the CODE, Section 26-207. 36. Provide a minimum of 10-ft. separation between water main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer lines. Please note that City of Boynton Beach separation standards are more stringent that FDEP standards. 37, 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. 38. 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. This statement is lacking on the submitted plans.
