RE: Response to questions of the TRB reviewed in our meeting on February 18,
1986.
Dear Carmen:
In response to the questions raised in the attached memoranda, I am providing
you herewith our responses for the record. Memorandum #1 dated February
12, 1986, From Carmen Annunziato, Planning Director.
ITEM 1: The Proponent still wishes to proceed with consideration of the
commercial sites as shown on their submitted Master Development Plan.
Although we recognize your concern, we maintain a great deal of concern
ourselves that the parcels be able to support the highest caliber of
commercial uses.
ITEM 2: The question, with respect to a central loading and unloading
facility For rail service, the Proponent has reviewed such a proposal with a
number of rail users and have Found it to be inappropriate. All potential
users require direct siding access to their facility.
ITEM 3: The Master Development Plan is presented in full accordance with
the PID Zoning Ordinance. We intend to provide all of the required greenbelt
buffers adjacent to properties having a different zoning classification, in
complete compliance with the Code.
ITEM 4: The rights-of-way For all interior roadways will be lO0 feet wide.
Since we will be proposing some variations on the basic sidewalk/bike path
scheme, we will provide complete detail for review during the platting
process. Again, we expect to provide the City with pavement sections,
landscaping and pedestrian amenities in excess of Code requirements. The
typical roadway section will have two twenty-four Foot wide roadways with a
sixteen foot wide landscaped median.

AFFILIATES: BROLEN REALTY & MANAGEMENT CORP., MITA CONSTRUCTION CORP.
ITEM 5: The schedule for the Environmental Impact Analysis phase of the
Interchange construction has been presented at the meeting, and a copy is
attached hereto for your further review. We expect to execute the contract
withKimley-Horn, our consultant, on or about March 4.
Memorandum #2 dated February 12, 1986, from Perry A. Cessna, Director of
Utilities.
ITEM A is comentary on water distribution.
ITEM 1: We hereby agree to loop the water mains as requested at the cul-de-
sacs.
ITEM 2: The relocation of the water main routing to the High Ridge Road
right-of-way and the additional routing along the north side of the canal is
agreed to. Final plans will be prepared in accordance therewith.
ITEM 3: At this initial phase, we will agree to a 1,000 foot maximum
distance between line valves; however, we expect to review this plan in more
detail with the City during the platting phases.'~- When l,O00 foot spacing will
provide for fewer than four utility connections, we feel it is appropriate
that the spacing be increased.
ITEM 4: We hereby agree to add an additional ten inch gate valve where
requested.
ITEM 5: With respect to easements required for water and sewer, we hereby
r~quest that ten foot wide easements be approved where installation occurs
oqtside of dedicated right-of-way. In these instances, we will provide for a
t~n foot building setback from an easement, thereby providing for a thirty
foot clear path at utility lines. We also ask that the limitation on
landscaping be imposed only within the ten foot wide easement area. With
respect to landscaping at the right-of-way and adjacent to such easement
areas, we will endeavor to utilize the plant materials as recommended by the
City Forester, Kevin d. Hallahan, in his memorandum dated February 20, 1986.
ITEM 6: With respect to fire flow, the Proponent hereby agrees that no
building w~ll be certified for occupancy without proper fire flow. Since fire
flow~ is a question of use, the Proponent agrees to work out an appropriate
formula with the building department to establish required fire flow needs for
projects at the time of permitting. Since to the extent feasible, all public
i~provements will be ~e at the same time, it is felt that the water loops
will be connected prior to occupancy for the vast majority of situations.
ITEM B: Sewage collection and transmission
ITEM l: Again, this item refers to easements being provided and the
prloponent agrees to provide such easements at a width of ten feet with a
building setback requirement of an additional ten feet.
ITEM 2: Parcels W2-O through W5-O will be served by a sewer along the
north side of Northwest 22nd Avenue. Parcels W19-0 and W20-O respectively
will be served by an extension of the two sewers shown to the north.
ITEM C: Proponent will work with the City as required to insure that
inspection of utility installation can be accomplished in a timely manner.
]]ae funds necessary to accomplish this task will be examined and determined at
a later date.
Memorandum #3 from Charles C. Frederick, Director of Recreation and Park
Oepartment also dated February 12, 1986.
ITEM 1: Land exchange:proposal: The Proponent wishes to keep this matter
separate from discussions concerning the Master Plan layout. The negotiations
are continuing between Mr, Peter Cheney, the City Manager and the Proponent to
work out the details of such a land exchange.
ITEM 2: Median and right-of-way maintenance: The Proponent has determined
at this time that the rights-of-way, other than Northwest 22nd Avenue and High
Ridge Road, will be privately held. Since dedication is not contemplated,
maintenance of those areas will be taken care of by the Developer and the
succeeding Property Owner's Association. Maintenance of Northwest 22nd Avenue
and High Ridge Road rights-of-way is also of concern to the Proponent, and
the Proponent is eager to establish a means whereby they can assume control
and responsibility for such maintenance.
Memorandum From John Wildner, Park Superintendent dated February 12, 1986.
his memorandum provides the backup for cost estimates concerning right-of-way
maintenance. I believe all of the questions raised therein have been
addressed in the previous comentary.
The next memorandum is from Lieutenant McGarry of the Police Department dated
February Il, 1986.
In order to provide further information to the Police Department in response
to Lieutenant McGarry's questions, a meeting was held with Lieutenant Hammock,
Chief Hillary and other members of the Boynton Beach Police Department and dim
Zook of Kimley-Horn and I. In that meeting, details of the proposed High
Ridge Road relocation were discussed. Peak hour traffic movements were
identified at 1,300 cars per hour. The interchange spacing between the
propased 1-95 Interchange and High Ridge Road would be in excess of 800 feet,
center to center. This distance more than adequately meets the DOT 660 foot
separation criteria. The Police Department felt adequately assured that an
acceptable roadway and interchange design could be developed within these
distance perimeters. Final design and pavement layout will be accomplished
during the platting and roadway engineering Phases scheduled to follow
immediately.
With respect to the ability to obtain vacation of the DOT right-of-way for
High R!dge Road, Jim Zook of Kimley-Horn met with Frank Gordon, Design
Engineer of the Florida Department of Transportation on Thursday afternoon,
FebruQry 2?. During that meeting, Mr, Gordon indicated that DOT would
approach the vacation of High Ridge Road in accordance with their typical
vacation procedure. He indicated that it did not appear as ifthat pOrtion of
High RidgeRoad was a part of the DOT network, and as such, there should not
~ be anymjor difficulty in obtaining vacation. He did, however, reserve
final judgement on the roadway operations and easement vacation until such
timeas the roadway design was complete.
I believe this responds to all areas of concern.

AN AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
FOR
BOYNTON BEACH PARK OF COMMERCE
Deutsch/Ireland Properties is pleased to submit herewith, this
amendment to the Master Site Development Plan for the Boynton
Beach Park of Commerce. The amendment documents include this
booklet of material which provides an explanation of the
refinements made to the Master Site Development Plan, as well as
backup analysis providing the justification for such refinements and
six drawings as follow: site plan, grading plan, drainage plan,
mitigation plan, water plan and sewer plan, and the attached request
for a proposed revision to the Development Order. This request
is being made in order to formalize a final Master Site Development
Plan to be used as the basis for subdivision and public improvements
engineering.
We see the development of this Master Plan as a refinement, rather
than a change, to what has been previously submitted to the State
Department of Community Affairs, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council and the City of Boynton Beach. This plan reflects a
reduction in net development acreage from 411.2 acres to 361.1 acres,
over what was approved in the ADA/DRI.
OUr primary effort in arriving at this amendment was to finalize
a plan that was illustrative of the original concept and which met
the following goals:
To refine the master plan; to incorporate requirements of
the Development Order, specifically the set-aside of a 40-
acre sand pine preserve and the incorporation of the City
Park through a land exchange.
To refine the master plan; to incorporate the requirements of
a single phased construction plan consistent with our marketing
plan.
m
To refine the master plan; to reflect the outcome of our
marketing research which has affected parcel sizes and
orientations.
4.' To refine the master plan; to reflect changes in traffic due
to a loss of 50.1 acres of developed land.
Se
To refine the master plan; to incorporate drainage Changes
consistent with the new South Florida Water Management
District's regulations now in effect, plus the reduction of
developed acreage and the increase of open space.
e
To refine the master plan; to eliminate the rail-loading area
and incorporate the potential for individual rail spurs at
development sites.
THE MASTER SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The colored plan on the following page illustrates the Master
Site Development Plan in its amended form. Following it is a
copy of map H-1 illustrating the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce
as originally submitted in the DRI document. In reviewing
tke documents for consistency, there are-four areas of refine-
ment that are discussed hereafter in detail.
Land uses - Land uses have been adjusted to incorporate
both the sand pine preserve and the City Park in a manner
consistent with the requirements of the Development Order.
Road alignments - The road alignments have been refined
to serve the reduced developed acreage, as well as the
revised parcel sizes.
Phasing - The revision of project phaSing to accommodate
a single, public-improvement construction phase, as well
as single marketing phase.
Parcel sizes - A refinement of parcel sizes and orientation
to conform with the marketing research and proposed sales
plan.
AMENDED LAND USE
The Amended Master Site Development Plan is essentially unchanged
from the ADA/DRI plan. It is still proposed to be developed as a
nearly self-contained, planned comprehensive industrial/office
park. The mix of uses in the amended plan still con~tains those
types of light industrial, office, hotel, retail and commercial trade
activities as permitted by Section 7, Planned Industrial Development
(PID), District of the Boynton Beach Zoning Code, as adopted June 3,
1975.
A comparison of land use in the approved ADA/DRI and Amended Master
Site- Development Plan is shown in Table 1.
The Amended Plan contains 30.4 acres of commercial use, of which
3.4 acres are recreational; 133.1 acres of office use; 197.6 acres
of light industrial use, of which 53.3 acres are to be used for
research, and development industrial activity; 144.9 acres of open
space, of which 50.3 acres are lakes, 6 acres are wetland preserve,
40 acres are sand pine preserve (in one parcel as agreed to by staff
of the City of Boynton Beach and Treasure Coast Regional Planning
Council in 1985); and 33.9 acres of additional internal arterial
roadways.
Arrangement of these proposed land uses within the Amended Master
Development Plan are primarily the same as proposed in the approved
ADA/DRI Plan. Office uses are proposed along NW 22nd Avenue, around
the proposed interchange at Interstate 95, and across from Motorola
near Congress Avenue. Commercial uses, including the club recrea-
tional facility are also proposed to be located on NW 22nd Avenue
and along one of the arterials south of 22nd.

The location of commercial parcels~ along NW 22nd Avenue is
~& minor departure from th~ intern~ ~ILakeside Center'' complex
originally contemplated that indicated 'only 800 feet of com-
mercial frontage on NW 22nd AvenUe. The current plan, exclud-
ing the Club, now provides for 2,800 feet of commercial frontage.
Based upon marketing requirements and the need to establish
strong restaurant and service retail locations within the Park,
the land-use has been specified aCcordingly. From a traffic
viewpoint, it is justified by the reduction in trip generation
for the Park overall, as noted later in this report.
Hotel uses have been noted as alternate uses for office use par-
cels located on.both the eastern and western terminus of NW 22nd
Avenue. Three such parcels have been noted accordingly. This
concept is _consistent with the approved ADA/DRI plan.
Light industrial uses, including research and development activi-
ties, are to be located south of NW 22nd Avenue, along the Boynton
Beach Canal (C-16) and along High Ridge Road. Light industrial
uses are also proposed to be located south of the Boynton Distri-
bution Center on High Ridge Road and south of the 40-acre sand
pine preserve area.
Open space has increased substantially over the approved ADA/DRI
Plan from 82.2 acres to 144.9 acres. Lakes are proposed to be
located in the low area of the Park. Unlike the ADA/DRI approved
plan, however, these lakes will be arranged as linear open space/
wetland/lake areas. The result i~ to provide greater visual ex-
posure to a far larger number of park sites. The reduced acres
of lakes (from 76.4 acres to 50.3 acres) is based upon new rules
by the South Florida Water Management District adopted in June
1984, and the fact that the plan contemplated 50.1 fewer acres of
developed land. These new rules require less large size retention
lakes in.each project. On-site ponding will be part of these
rules. Wetland preservation remains the same as approved in the
ADA/DRI Plan, except for a slight increase in wetland acreage
(from 5.8 acres to 6.0 acres).
The mitigation plan, submitted herewith, identifies the locations
of the lake-edge plantings as consistent with the approved ADA/DR~.
In addition, the preservations of upland habitat and native vege-
tation is consistent with the apProved ADA/DRI.
One large 40-acre parcel of sand pine scrub and existing proposed
animal habitat area is proposed in the far northwest portion of the
Amended Plan. This location and parcel configuration was decided
upon from several alternatives and fOllowing numerous meetings be-
tween Riteco, environmental planning consultants, and City/Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council staff, during 1985. Preserved in-
tact, the 40~acre site complies with requirements of the TCRPC Board
and staff, the City.staff, and'the adopted Development Order. Ample
habitat land area exists to allow orderly and safe relocation of
existing Gopher Tortoise and Florida Mice. Existing Burrowing Owl
sites all fall in northern portions of the preserve. Fully consis-
tent with the Development Order, this proposed "Sand Pine Preserve"
will be regenerated in accordance with the Sand Pine Preserve,
Management Plan.
-6-
A proposed City Park will be located adjacent to the 40-acre
preserve This Park will provide a community level facility
and serve the growing residential neighborhoods to the north
and west. Access for the Park and preserve area will be pro-
vided by a new loop arterial which connects Congress Avenue
(north of NW 22nd Avenue) with ~NW 22nd Avenue in the center
of the Park. Future construction of Miner Road will provide
additional access.
ROADWAY ALIGNMENT AND TRIP GENERATION
A network of major internal arterials (similar to the ADA/DRI
Approved Plan) is proposed to serve the Amended Plan land uses,
and avoid negative impact on the public transportation system
outside of the Park. Internal vehicular movement will be ac-
commodated by arterials, each with divided four-lane landscaped
boulevard roadways. Northwest 22nd Avenue and High Ridge Road
are similar in construction with a 100 foot right-of-way. Miner
Road has a righ%-of-way of 108 feet; and will be constructed by
others, as adjacent sections of roadway and the canal crossing
become available.
An internal system of pedestrian walkways and bikeways will be
provided throughout the linear open space system, connected by
grade-separated crossings as shown, at the arterial roadways.
PROJECT TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
In general, vehicle trip generation for the Amended Master
Development Plan is similar to the ADA/DRI Approved Master
Development Plan. A comparison of the two is shown in Table
Two.
The slight 5% reduction in total trip generation (from 44,'321
in the ADA/DRI Plan to 42,957 in the Amended Plan) is the re-
sult of an increase in the open space categories'of land use
and reduction of net developable land from 411.2 acres in the
ADA/DRI to 361.1 acres in the Amended Plan.
INTERNAL/EXTERNAL SPLITS
There are alSo reductions in external trips. A comparison of
internal/external trip generations is shown in Table Three.
The 10% reduction in exuernal trip generation is a result of
reductions in net developable land acreages.
Traffic assignments of external trips to the impact area road-
way network remain unchanged from the ADA/DRI Plan. External
peak-hour trips generated by. the Park and their directional split
are also unchanged from the ADA/DRI Plan.

iROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Construction of the Amended Master Development Plan will result
in a 5% reduction in total trip generation, a.10% reduction of
external trip generation, and a reduction of the level of impact
on intersections and roadways within the project impact area.
However, agreements reached between Riteco Incorporated, the
City, the County and TCRPC, as stated in the approved ADA/DRI
Development Order, will be honored by Deutsch/Ireland Properties
without change. .Therefore, no change in the Development Order
is requested.
In support of the data presented herein concerning trip generation
and splits, there is attached hereto a letter from Jim Zook at
Kimley-Horn with his computation of the revised traffic numbers
based upon this refined plan. His letter supports the fact that
there is no increase in traffic, despite the refinement of land
uses illustrated in the Amended Master Site Development Plan.
PHASING
The approved ADA/DRI speaks to an extended development period of
up to thirty years. Development was proposed in two phases. Our
proposed plan Ks to proceed with development of the entire project
in a single phase. Immediately following below are excerpts from
a marketing study prepared by Goodkin Research concerning the
absorption rate for this project and other major projects in the
area. Based upon their conclusions and the marketing intents of
Deutsch/Ireland Properties, it is believed that this entire develop-
ment can be accomplished in an eight to twelve year:_ time frame.
On this basis, Deutsch/Ireland Properties has made the financial
commitment to move ahead immediately with all roadway and public
improvements construction. Platting and subdivision will be sought
immediately upon approval of this Amended Master Site Development
Plan.
ABSORPTION RATE
Based on the deveiopment's planned amenity mix and predicated on the
hypothesis that our marketing recommendations outlined above wi~ be basically
adhered toy tho average annual absorption rate is. expected to vary from approximately
45 to 75 acres per year (see Table 2). Given about 379 net acres o~ land, the expected
absorption period-ranges from 5.1 to 8.4 years, with a 6.3 year.probable.time span.
These absorption rates are measured in terms of land sales to both users and other
developers/builders, and also include acreage occupied by buildings ~onstrueted by the
client/developer.
ABSORPTION RATE8
Absorption of industrial land can best be measured by the rate at which land is
taken off the market through land sales. This rate, however, does not necessarily
reflect the rate of building improvements as economic conditions and pui'ehaser goals
have signifieant effects. The annual absorption rate of the surveyed parks, as
measUred by available land, ranges from less than I here to. 55 acres. The most
common average annual absorption rate varies from about 2 to 5 acres in the parks
surveyed. The larger and better planned and located parks tend to reflect the faster
absorption rate while smaller parks are usually at the lower end of the range. Two
other factors greatly affecting the absorption rate are both the price and the
immediate availability of fully improved sites.
Measured in ~terms of ~the amount of =land put to. industrial u~e. (which ineludes
existing buildings and facilities under eOnstruetion)j ArvidaJs Park of Commerce has
generated the most impressive absorption rate of approximately 118 acres per year.

Traffic Impact
Dear-George:
As. requested, by you, we have completed a comparison of your proposed revised
plan for the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce (second revision).
As indicated on the attached summary, the traffic impact of this plan is virtually
the same as for the approved DRI plan. Differences due to road alignment changes
are noted on the summary.
Also enclosed is our billing through October, 1985. Billing includes Task I of our
proposal and for a portion of work accomplished on Task II. The work on Task II was
initiated to .meet your initial "fast track" schedule. ~Vork was halted since we did not
receive a signed proposal.
Billing for the enclosed summary will be under our current agreement (4479.06)
as requested.
We have enjoyed working with you on this task. Please let us know if you have
any questions regarding the enclosed summary or the billing.
Very truly yours,

PARCEL SIZES AND ORIENTATION
The Amended Site Development P%an is based upon a green space
network containing pedestrian Ways and lakes. This conce~t is
a slight refinement from the ADA/DRI approved plan in that the
lakes and green space have bec~me the focus for each of the
development parcels, rather than using the lakes and green space
as buffers between the roadways and development parcels. In
rearranging the plan in this ~shion, we have been able to provide
this pedestrian amenity to the vast majority of parcels within the
development.
In the process of reorienting ~he specific parcels, we have moved
much further ahead towards t~e~final definition of parcel size.
The following paragraph excerpted from the original ADA/DRI
documents indicates an intention of developing parcels from a minimum
size of one and three quarter~ ~cres to a maximum size of nine acres.
The Amended Master Site Development Plan is fully consistent with
that intent.
A collector street, with a rlght-of-way of 60 feet, may be con-
structed between 'the L,~keside Center and adjoining
office/industrial, uses, 'if the market need for small sites dic-
tates its requirement. As shown on Map H, a typical industrial
lot may be 600 feet x 660 feet. These 9 ac~e sites may be
typically subdivided into'l.75, 2.25 or 4.5 acre tracts to meet
the need for smaller office or light industrial sites near the
Lakeside Center,
PAGE 12-7
Immediately following are excerpts from reports prepared by our
marketing and sales consultants, Goodkin Research Corporation
and Cognetics, Inc.. The excerpts identify-our potential market
and the sizes of facilities mo~t likely required within our Park.
Although this is not the excluslive rationale we have used in
-determining~our final, subdivisiion plan, the'results of .this
research p~ovide the backbone ~or ~t.
INDUSTRIAL PARK DEVELOPMENT- cONCLusioNS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Our analysis of the supply and deinand determinants for warehouse and industrial
space indicates that these uses constitute attractive real estate investment
opportunities for the developer. The demand for warehouse space is strong, and
although several new.industrial.parks .are competing in the marketplace, the subject
property offers a close-in and'highly visible location.
Specific recomlnendations for this portion of the development follow:
High Tech R & D Facilities
In present day dollars, rental rates for high tech buildings should vary from about
$7.00 to $7.50 per square foot, absolute net. Typically, these buildings will
contain the following iinprovements:
18-24 foot clear ceiling heights
100 percent air-conditoned and fully sprinklered for fire protection
22,400 ampere, three-phase electrical service
- drive-up loading docks and drive-in doors
- 35,000 to 80,000 square foot buildings
- 2,500 to 5,000 square foot bays, or: multiples thereof
- parking ratio of one space per 275 !to 325 square feet
Market segments typical of this fast-growing group~ include micro electronic
telecommunications equipment; medical electronics (e.g., electronic health
monitoring systems); process coatroI te¢t~nology; electronic surveillance systems
and other electronic components; computer systems; engineering, research and
design; pharmaceutical/medical products and other related high teeh groups.
These users require well landscaped sites and attractively designed buildings.
1-18
OF}ICE DEVELOPMENT - RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the above statistics, it is clear tl~at the supply of office space in Palm
Beach County exceeds the demand. In the face of this glut, in order to be successful,
developers will be compelled to be more cautious, sophisticated and innovative in their
planning,~design, marketing and ti[ning of new projects. While there is an imbalance in
supply and demand, the Boynton Beach Park of Commerce subject property is
nevertheless strategically positioned to enable it to compete in various segments of
the office market. However, in order to generate acceptable absorption rates', it is
recommended that a differentiated marketing strategy be adopted by offering three
basic product lines:
o Pure office space
o Office/Service
o Office/High tech buildings
Pure Office Space
We feel that the subject property is suitably positioned to enable it to
successfully capture a portion of the demand for luxury-type office space originating
from such tenants as financial institutions, insurance companies, computer companies,
regional headquarters, operations centers, and professionals seeking prestigious
locations (e.g., major law firms and accounting firms). In Broward County, the
Corporate Park at Cypress Creek has been very successful in attracting these
relatively large companies. These firms are already well entrenched in the Boca
Eaton market.
-16-
' Our analysis of the criteria ,affecting the location decisions of corporate and
regional/divisional headquarters shows that the availability of highway and air
transportation are ranked as the two outstanding features, closely followed by the
availability of professional/executive labor. In this respect, the site ranks highly.
Pertaining to the luxury office market component of the development, the
following recommendations are made:
Rental Rates -- In present-day dollars, the recommended base rent is $14 to $16
per square foot, absolute net.
Size of Buildings -- In order to be able to capture some of these larger tenants,
buildings should be fairly large, varying in size from approximately 65,000 to
110,000 square feet.
Building Height w Building heights can vary from about one to six stories, with
two to five floors probably being most common.
Office/Service Space and Moderately Priced Office Space
It .is recommended that the developer adopt a penetration pricing strategy by
also offering office/service space and moderately priced pure office space at highly
competitive prices to the market segments indicated below. These target groups are
searching for excellent "value" at locations which offer good visibility, a convenient
road transportation network, and a nearby labor pool and local market. Our overall
experience with office/service projects in South Florida clearly demonstrates the
popularity of this concept when prices are very co~npetitive. Those projects with
relatively high rental rates have experienced difficulties leasing space even when site
exposure is excellent. The subject property clearly offers an environment that is
conducive to our recommended strategy, especially in light of current market
conditions.
COMMERCIAL DEVRLOPMENT
1-23
Interviews with representatives and employees of major organizations and
various office and industrial parks in Florida, show strong preferences to Work in self-
contained developments that offer the necessary supporting commercial/retail and
other personal services, including such uses as:
- Restaurants
- Personal services (e.g. dry cleaner, hairdresser, beauty shop)
- Stationery/book store
- Gift/cigar shop
- Convenience store
- Pharmacy
- Ful/service print shop
- Travel agent
- M essenger/coilrier service
- Car rental agency
- Camera shop/developing
Although these uses would cater chiefly to employees of the park and other
surrounding commercial developments, some demand would also emanate from
surrounding residential communities. It is important that the restaurants and other
retail facilities be positioned in the subject park in a manner that maximizes exposure
to passing traffic.
HOTEL DEVELOPMENT
At present, there is only one hotel chain fronting 1-95 in Boynton Beach - an
unattractive Holiday Inn at the intersection.of 1-95 and Boynton Beach Road. Given
-18-
1-24
the impressive growth of industrial, commercial, retail and residential developments in
the surrounding area (especially as exemplified by Motorola and the Boynton Beach
Mall), we feel that the property offers a good location for one or two quality hotel
franchises that can be phased to support up to 500 rooms.
A hotel, would clearly complement.-the overall amenity mix of the development
and derive most of its revenue from such patronage sources as business guests,
meetings and small seminars, potential residents in the area, and, to a lesser degree,
social/tourists requiring a short stop-over in a quality, easily accessible and highly
visible location. The strategy of adding hotel establishments during the later phases of
major office/business park developments is fairly common, as exemplified by such
successful South Florida projects as Arvida Park of Commerce, Corporate Park at
Cypress Creek and Hillsboro Executive Center.
-19-
1-25
I~OT SIZlgS AND LAND PRICES ,
According to the preliminary Master Plan of the Boynton Beach Park of
COmmerce, the park is divided into large 10+_ acre lots. Our competitive survey shows
that with the exception of Arvida Park of Commeree's 5_* acre tracts, most
competitors offer.one to two acre tracts, reflecting strong demand by relatively small
users. While we feel there is a need for large tracts (and our projected absorption
rates assume that the developer will be able to attract several large occupants), it is
important that the developer is also able to satisfy the dcm and by potential occupants
requiring minimum lot sizes of roughly 1.25 acres. In order to achieve the marketing
flexibility required in a project of this size, it is strongly recommended that the land
plan be amended to meet the needs of these market segments. It is advisable to plat
relatively small and combine lots, as opposed to platting mainly large tracts as this
could present more of a problem when trying to split. In this respect, it is also
important to realize that, in general, smaller parcels tend to generate higher prices
per square foot than larger ones.
Depending upon such factors as size of parcel, location within the park,
financing, type of buyer/user, the recommended land price in present-day dollars
varies from approximately $6.50 to $12.00 per square foot with an average of $8.25
per square foot. These prices are somewhat lower than those currently being quoted
at Arvida Park of Commerce, and roughly in line with Hillsboro Executive Center and
Corporate Park at Cypress Creek. Given the outstanding amenity mix planned for the
development (e.g., golf course, day care center, meeting/conference facilities, health
club, restaurants/retail services), we feel that these prices are realistic and offer
potential occupants excellent "value-1.
1
If an interchange is built at 1-95 and N.W. 22nd Avenue, land prices at some of
the parcels coUld increase by as much as 10 to 20 percent.

· Economic Change
The largest source of job .creation (from an activity standpoint)
was startups ("births"). On the negative side, closures ("deatl3s")
played the most significant economic role. Looking at the net~ we find
the greatest level of imbalance between startups and closures, ana
therefore the highest rate of employment gain:

Net job creation figures tell us a great deal about where the
economy is healthy, but they do not tell us which individual companies
are growing, It could be that there are many healthy firms in an
industry that is declining. It thus pays to Iook~ at the nature of
growing companies Ee£ se.
What do we mean by "growing?" Is it absolute or is it percent
growth? Absolute growth favors larger companies; percent growth favors
smaller ones. We have avoiOed these biases by choosing a hybrio
mixture of the two: absolute employment growth multiplied by the
percentage growth it represents (expressed in decimal terms). Thus a
company that grew from 500 to 550 employees would have an absolute
growth of 50, a percent growth of 50/500 =.1, and an index of 50 X .1 =
5. We have chosen to examine the characteristics of all very rapidly
growing establishments -- i.e., all of those with a growth index of
over 20 -- keeping track of their characteristics, in the meantime.

CONCLUSION
We look forward to the expeditious approval of this Amended
Master Site Development Plan. We feel it is the appropriate
refinement of the document initially approVed in the ADA/DRI
and contemplated by the Development Order. Many of the
revisions that have taken place have resulted from the incorp-
oration ofre¢~uirements expressed inthe.~Development-Order. We
look forward to the opportunity ,to present this project at the
City Council Public Hearing and look forward to its successful
completion.
