HIGH RIDGE COMMERCE CENTER No. 2
MANAGEMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The High Ridge Commerce Center No. 2 is a commercial project that will be developed
on a 10.4 acre tract of land located on the Southwest comer of Miner Road and High
Ridge Road, City of Boynton Beach, Section 17, Township 45 South, Range 43 East,
Palm Beach County, Horida. The site is bounded on the north and east by paved roads,
on the south by a cleared field and by an undeveloped wooded tract to the west. The
immediate area surrounding the property, with the exception of the western wooded
area, has been cleared and developed for industrial and residential purposes. The
southeast comer and an area along the north boundary of the property have been cleared
in the past. The southern area is open with some scattered exotic trees and the northern
area has a dense growth of exotic shrubs.
Approximately 2.6 acres of forested land along the west side of the property was set
aside as a preserve area to be in compliance with the City of Boynton Beach Vegetation
and Environmentally Sensitive Land Ordinance ( Chapter 7.5, Article IV). The preserve
area is approximately ninety feet wide and abuts a wooded property to the west. The
habitat value of the preserve is excellent and w/th a minor amount of exotic and invasive
vegetation removal an area of open scrub will be created that will support and sustain a
viable wildlife population. Protecting the western edge of the site will provide a valuable
core habitat that still resembles historic pinelands that will be a valuable corridor for
movement of animals.
The purpose of the "Preserve Management Plan" is to provide a comprehensive
program for protection during construction, habitat restoration, exotic vegetation
removal and to estabhsh a long term maintenance schedule.
VEGETATION
The site can be best described as a sand pine (Pinus clausa) dominated scrub habitat.
The wooded area of the site is densely covered with sand pine of various ages with an
under story of scrub oak (Quercus spp.). There are no sand pine seedlings or saplings
present in the under story. Approximately ten percent of the standing sand pine trees are
dead. Both serotinuous and nonserotinuous specimens appeared to be prevalent within
the community. Fire has occurred at some time in the distant past as evidenced by
pieces of charred wood observed on the southern half of the site. Sand pine is a pioneer
species and in the absence of periodic fires will often invade open scrub flatwoods,
especially during periods of drought.

HIGH RIDGE COMMERCE CENTER No. 2
MANAGEMENT PLAN
VEGETATION (Continued)
An open area that occurs on the southern end of the property contains roadside weeds
such as Spanish needles (Bidens alba), ceasar weed (Urena lobata), ragweed
(Ambrosia anemisiifolia), periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus), and various other
grasses and forbs associated with open fields.
Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia spp.) was observed here and in other sunlit areas of the site
and dodder vine (Cuscuta spp.) is invading the periphery vegetation. The exotic canopy
is sparse and consists of earleaf acacia (Acacia auriculiformis), Austrialian pine
(Casuarina equisetifolia), Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius.), lead tree
Leucaena leucocephala), Java plum (Syzygium cumini) and Scheffiera (Brassaia
actinophylla). Approximately 2.4 acres along the north boundary is covered in dense
Brazilian pepper. Earleaf acacia and scheffiera are scattered through out the site. Giant
wild pine (Tillandsia utriculata), inflated wild pine (Tillandsia balbisaina) and scrub mint
(Conradina grandiflora) were noted in the southeast comer of this area.
The remaining two thirds of the property is forested with sand pine and an occasional
slash pine (Pinus elliottii). The under story is predominately scrub oak (Quercus spp.),
Chapmann's oak (Quercus chapmanii), sand live oak (Quercus geminata), saw
palmetto (Serona repens), palafoxia (Palafoxia feayi), paw paw (As/mina reticulate),
staggerbush (Lyonia ferruginea), huckleberry (Vaccinium mysinites) and Flor/da privet
(Forestiera segregata). Because of the dense pine canopy, the wooded area is
depauperate of ground cover. Rosary pea (Ceropegia woodii) covers a large portion of
the area and scattered clmnps of wire grass (Arstida sthcta) and gopher apple (Licania
michauxii) were observed. Wild pine (Tillandsia spp.) occurred sporadically on a few of
the trees.
SOILS
The US Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil
Survey of Palm Beach County indicates that the substrate of the property is Paola sand
(PCB) along the east one half and St. Lucie sand (ScB) on the western one half. Both of
these soils are nearly level to sloping, excessively drained, deep, sandy soil on long
narrow, dune-like coastal ridges and on isolated knolls. The water table is generally
below a depth of six feet.
HIGH RIDGE COMMERCE CENTER No. 2
MANAGEMENT PLAN
'~ WI:EDLIFE
Based on previous smd/es of animal populations w/thin the Sand Pine Scrub and Pine
Flatwoods commun/ties, a gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) and listed animal
species survey was conducted/n November 2002 for the project. During the field
survey of the vegetation, all gopher tortoise (Gophems polyphemus) burrows were
located and mapped within the scrub, flatwoods, and disturbed portions of the site. A
total of 19 burrows were d/stributed as follows: 6 active, I inactive and 12 abandoned.
Active burrows were identified by the presence of tracks, cleared openings or recently
excavated soil. Inactive burrows usually showed no signs of soil excavation and were
frequently littered with fallen leaves and other debris. Abandoned burrows were often
caved-in or covered with leaves with no signs of activity.
Since gopher tortoise utilize more than one bun-ow, estimates of abundance were based
on a multiplier of 0.6 x active and inactive burrows (Auffenberg and Franz 1982). If we
assume that the mulfipher is an accurate estimate of tortoise populations throughout
Flor/da, 7 burrows represents an estimated population of 4 or 5 gopher tortoise. The
relocation of five or less gopher tortoise would require an onsite permit fi.om the Florida
Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The western twenty five percent of the site
will be utilized as a preservation area for both plants and animals.
Other burrow commensals such as the gopher fi.og (Rana areolata) and eastern indigo
snake (Drymarchon coraJs couper) as well as the Florida scrub 1/zard were also looked
for at the time of the gopher tortoise study, but no additional animals were observed.
RESDENT ANIMAL SPECIES
The following animal species were observed on-site during the most recent field
survey.
Mammals
Nine banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcnctus)
Opossum (Didelphis vurginiana)
Raccoon (Procyon lotot)
Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
Birds
Ground dove (Columbia passerina)
Mocking bird (Mimus polyglottos)
Mourning doves (Zena/da macroura)

MANAGEMENT
Active management of the preserve will be conducted in phases as descr/bed below.
1. Preconstmction.
2. Gopher tortoise relocation.
3. Exotic and invasive vegetation removal.
4. Construction.
5. Habitat restoration.
6. Monitoring and maintenance.
Preconstruction:
The boundaries of the preserve area must be delineated by a surveyor with stakes placed
along the property lines and eastern delineation line on twenty five foot intervals. A four
foot high orange vinyl construction fence with six foot steel posts on ten foot centers
must be erected on the east, north and south boundary line of the preserve. In addition, a
three foot high silt barter must be placed directly in front of the construction fence
along the east boundary of the preserve.
Gopher Tortoise Relocation:
The active gopher tortoise burrows will be excavated and the animals will be placed
behind the preserve area fence in accordance with the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission relocation permit.
5
HIGH RIDGE COMMERCE CENTER No. 2 MANAGEMIENT PLAN
Exotic and Invasive Vegetation Removal:
The northem three hundred feet of the preserve is totally infested with Brazilian pepper
resulting in the near elimination of all underlying species of vegetation. These trees will
be removed by hand cutting at ground level and treating the stumps with an approved
herbicide. Use of a tractor equipped with a hydro-ax is an optional method for cutting
the trees to ground level. Large areas of the wooded portion of the preserve are covered
with rosary pea vines inhibiting the movement of gopher tortoises and other small
animals. The vines will be treated with an approved herbicide and allowed to
decompose in place. The entire preserve will be campaigned to eliminate any exotic
species of vegetation that appears on the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council hst. These
specimens will be treated with herbicide and left in place.
Construction:
The developer's contractor will clear and grub the developed portion of the site east of
the preserve. The integrity of the eastern preserve boundary line must be maintained at
all times. If the mink of a tree or the majority of a tree's roots falls on the east boundary
line, then the tree and the roots must be removed by hand to the limits of the preserve. If
the roots of any tree pr°trade beyond the east line of the preserve, then the roots must
be removed by hand. The Environmental Consultant will determine if the roots can be
safely removed without harming the tree. If they cannot, then the tree must be removed
by hand.
After the clearing and grubbing has been completed the developer's contractor will
install a concrete retaining wall eighteen/aches east of the preserve eastern boundary.
Extreme care must be taken that no fill or debris be allowed to breech the silt barrier
and construction fence. Any voids that occur on the west side of the retaining wall will
be filled with sand by hand. Clearing and grubbing and construction of the retaining wall
will be observed by the Environmental Consultant to assure that there are no adverse
impacts on the preserve. During subsequent construction activities, extreme care must
be taken at all times that debris and other extraneous material does not enter the
preserve area at any time.

HIGH RIDGE COMMERCE CENTER No. 2
MANAGEMENT PLAN
: HabitatR-e s tovafion::.
The northern three hundred feet of the preserve will require the installation of a certain
mount of vegetation. It is anticipated that a temporary imgafion system can be placed
in this area after the water retention pond is excavated. Watering of newly installed
plants is essential until they become established. Unless there is a drought, the watering
is generally for a period of six months. The interval of time between the Brazilian
pepper removal and the irrigation installatim, will provide any indigenous under story
vegetation that has been dormant time to r~::.generate. Any replanting required along the
east preserve boundary after construction cf the retaining wall can be done at this time.
The irrigation line can be extended to acccrnmodate the new plants. Vegetation species
proposed for habitat restoration include, but are not limited to, the following:
Cabbage palm (Sable palmetto)
Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens)
Scrub oak (Quercus spp.)
Sand pine (pinus clausa)
Pawpaw (As/mina reticulate)
Staggerbush (Lyonia ferru~nea)
Gopher apple (Licania michauxii)
Wiregrass (Arsfida stricta)
Trees, shrubs and herbaceous material wil be containerized. Trees and shrubs will be
planted on ten foot centers and ground co, er will be on three foot centers. No plant
relocation will occur within the preserve ~: :ea.
Monitoring and Maintenance:
MONITORING
Monitoring shall be conducted for 'a two year period to assure the City of
Boynton Beach that the management plan for the preserve is successful.
