ATTACHMENT
TO: Mayor and Council DATE: August 30, 2002
THROUGH: Ron Ferris, City Manager
FROM: Sheryl Stewart, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT:
Plan for MacArthur Blvd.
On Tuesday evening, August 27, 2002, staff attended a neighborhood meeting held at 340
Riverside Drive. The main purpose of the meeting, facilitated and coordinated by Carol
Estrada, was to discuss the proposed conceptual plan for roadway improvements and
traffic calming along MacArthur Boulevard. The residents at the meeting expressed the
following points regarding the proposed plan that is being presented to City Council on
September 4h:
• Do away with the stamped concrete around the Banyan tree.
• They object to any on -street parking.
• • Do not have ingress and egress onto MacArthur Boulevard from the Banyan PUD
developments.
• Concerned about truck traffic caused by the PUD.
• One resident asked for speed bumps, another resident asked for raised brick
pavers rather than stamped concrete.
The main focus of discussion, as a solution to the traffic concerns, was that the City
should purchase the two parcels of property located at the northeast corner of MacArthur
Boulevard and Northlake Boulevard, south of the Lake Catherine Sports Complex. The
goal would be to concentrate on creating a significant entry feature into Plat 1, as well as
to improve the parks and recreation facilities in this area.
The main desire of the residents is to maintain the neighborhood character of the area In
addition, the suggestion was made that the City also needs to concentrate on entryway
features and beautification at Lighthouse Drive and Holly Drive, just west of Alternate
Al A over the FEC railroad tracks.
Overall, there was consensus that the residents at the meeting did not like the current
conceptual plan They would like to see more done, as outlined in the attached letter.

Dear Mayor /City Council,
ATTACHMENT: 2
I would like to take this opportunity to strongly suggest that the City Council begin immediate and
aggressive negotiations to purchase the property located at the northeast corner of Northlake Blvd. and
MacArthur Blvd., just south of the Lake Catherine Sports Complex. The benefits to the City and our
existing residents in perpetuating, our quality of life by purchase of this property far outweigh any cost
considerations or negative conversation that can be imagined
Purchase of this property would put the entire eastern length of MacArthur Blvd. from Riverside Dr. to
Northlake Blvd. in the public domain. It would enhance opportunities to improve the Lake Catherine
Sports Complex, as well as, the possibly of joining with the School Board in an interlocal agreement to
create a recreational complex that would satisfy both governments' needs. It may even give more
credence to the recreational facilities bond referendum that was reported to being considered by the city.
Purchase of this property would significantly improve the traffic problems and concerns in our Plat #1
neighborhood by reducing the commercial densities and intensities intended to be developed on this
property. Ingress and egress to this property is very confined and difficult while posing significant traffic
problems to Northlake Blvd., MacArthur Blvd., Lighthouse Dr., and the Plat #1 neighborhood in general.
It would provide an opportunity to create a significant entrance feature into one of the original and first
areas* of the City to be developed, such as,.,the waterfall, that long graced this property. The property could
abo be home to a future mini -Fire Rescue/ Police facility and passive park. The discussion of benefits to
the City by purchase of this property go on and on.
Funding sources should be of little concern. With all the new development, impact fees for recreation
should be swelling the Recreation Land and Facilities Account. Funds from the recent sale of the Cultural
and Recreation lands in the Regional Center could be used. Some of our tax money could be allotted to
this endeavor. There may be some grant money available. County Commissioner Marcus could be
convinced thpt her discretionary funds are viable for this purchase. With imagination, creativity, and the
will to succe,qd, purchase of this property for the residents of Palm Beach Gardens should be a "no
brace.
In conclusion, I would urge the City Council to give the highest priority to this suggestion. There is no
need for a committee, or delegation to staff for study. It requires the City Council to make a decision to
proceed. As a longtime reident and past Mayor and Councilman I would suggest a publicly advertised
workshop meeting followed by a regular meeting to make your decision.
Thank you for consideration of this important City matter.

1.) Substantial revenue would be lost (both fees and tax
base) under city ownership.
2.) The attached traffic study indicates no additional
traffic. trip generation imposed on the properties to the
north beyond the concurrency analysis.
3.) The proposed development would enhance the traffic
patterns at the intersection and beautify the immediate
areas around the namesake Banyan Tree at the
developers expense.
4.) The purchase price of this property is substantial and
may require a referendum.
5.) Drainage would be improved in the entire area at
developers cost by a condition of approval in the P.U.D.
6.) Any and all maintenance of the total properties would
be borne by the developer, this would include both on
and off -site features.
7.) The northerly extension of Congress Avenue is still
being debated by the County Commission and the
impact on this property is unknown.

•
1.) If developed the property may be used for cut - through
traffic by lightweight vehicles west bound on Northlake
Boulevard due to the ingress- egress on the south
properties.
2.) A passive park would retain line of sight and eliminate
vertical construction.
. 3.) The existing recreational complex could be enhanced
or enlarged.
4.) The City would have a parcel(s) that could be used to
make an entrance statement with signage and
landscaping.
5.) The City would have a "people place" to gather for
baseball/softball tournaments and other events on an
interim basis.
6.) A portion of the parcel could be used for spill over grass
parking -as needed.

This letter is in response to your concern regarding the trafire bomlthe above referenced project.
The only traffic expected to access the site through MacArthur Boulevard from the north are
those residents living north of the site, These residents currently utilize this road. They may
make a few extra trips when they access the site, or stop at the site bn the way out or back to
their homes. Otherwise the project has no significant impact on tbelneighborhood to the north. if

Re: Banyan Tree PUD - #PTCO2 -29
Dear Mr. Benothman:
The purpose of this letter is to address condition 19 of Ordinance 41, 2001. This condition requires a traffic
analysis for Phases 2 and 3 of the Banyan Tree PUD.
The Banyan Tree PUD received traffic concurrency based on the traffic analyses prepared for Parcel 12.04
(Phase 3) and Parcel 12.05 (Phases 1 and 2). Both sites were approved with right -in /right -out movements on
Northlake Boulevard and driveway connections on McArthur Boulevard allowing a full complement of left and
right turn movements.
Parcel 12.04 was originally approved for 27,000 SF of Retail use and 25,000 SF of Office use. A traffic
equivalency analysis has been submitted for a proposed development including 24,700 SF of Retail use, a
5,000 SF Quality Restaurant and a 3,900 SF Drive -in Bank. This proposed development program will generate
less net new external daily and less AM peak hour trips than the approved development program. During the
PM peak hour, the number of net new external trips is estimated to be the same for both the approved and
proposed development programs,
Parcel 12.05 was originally approved for 29,000 SF of Retail use, 25,000 SF of Office use and a 3,500 SF
Drive -in Bank. A traffic equivalency analysis dated August 21, 2001 proposed 38,500 SF of Retail and 41,000
SF of Office use, This traffic equivalency analysis, which as been approved, also showed a decrease in net new
external daily trips as well as a decrease in net new external PM peak hour trips.
As currendy proposed, the traffic from both Parcel 12.04 and Parcel 12.05 has been reduced. Thus the traffic
impacts on MacArthur Boulevard, from the neighborhoods north of the site, will be reduced.
If you require additional information please contact this office.

BANYAN TREE PUD
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
Introduction
Banyan Tree is an approved PUD located both east and west of MacArthur Boulevard and north of ..
Northlake Boulevard in the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The sites have traffic concurrency approval F
for a combination of retail and office uses.
Ordinance 41, 2001 (February 21, 2001) of the City approved the rezoning of the sites to Planned
Unit Development and also approved a site plan for a 40,900 SF office building on Phase 1. Phases
1 and 2 are located on the west side of MacArthur Boulevard and Phase 3 is located on the east side
of MacArthur Boulevard. The subject ordinance also restricted certain ingress and egress
movements.
Trip Generation
Trip generation for the approved uses on Phases 1 and 2 and the proposed uses on Phase 3 are
shown on Exhibits 1A, 1 B and 1C for the Daily, AM peak hour and PM peak hour respectively. The
current development programs for the PUD are less intense than the traffic concurrency approval.
On a daily basis the trip generation is 23% less than the concurrency approval and during the PM
peak hour the trip reduction is 15 %.
Traffic Assignment
A trip distribution and assignment was developed based on proposed driveway configuration,
previous traffic study approvals and knowledge of traffic patterns in the area. The assignment of
traffic to project driveways and adjacent roadway links is provided on Exhibit 2.
As a result of the revised driveway geometrics and a reduction in new external project traffic, the
impacts on all roadways is less than that of previous approvals.
Report 02 -29 7 -25 -02 1

•
Conclusion
Banyan Tree PUD traffic impacts on MacArthur Boulevard will be less than that shown and approved
in the concurrency traffic analysis.
