RE: Petition PUD -04 -11 - Central Park — Parcels 31.06 and 31.07
Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board Workshop of January 24, 2006
Dear Ms. Morton and Mr. Murray:
As a follow -up to the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board meeting of January
24, 2005, below is an overview of the items discussed at the meeting, as well as
additional comments made by staff. A response to the comments below is
required within 30 days or by February 25, 2006.
You are requested to return a copy of these comments with the applicant's
acknowledgement of each comment and the response. Compliance will
help to expedite the subsequent review.
Staff Comments:
1. Prior to the public hearing before the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals
Board, the Applicant shall provide written confirmation from Palm Beach
County Engineering or Florida Department of Transportation that the
proposed site plan takes into consideration the ultimate 1 -95 /Central
Boulevard interchange right -of -way. This right -of -way shall be shown on
the plans.
2. As required by Ordinance 27, 2005 (copy attached), a noticed public
workshop shall be held before the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board
prior to the required public hearing for recommendation to City
Council. The purpose of the public workshop shall be to solicit comments
from and to inform the neighboring residents of the nature of the proposed
development plans. The applicant shall send notice of the public workshop
7 .
meeting to all residents (not just the homeowners' associations) within 500
feet of the subject development via first -class mail at least 14 days prior to
the meeting. The applicant shall submit an affidavit to City staff with a list
of noticed property owners at least 10 days prior to the meeting.
3. Section 78- 157(a)(2) of the LDR's states that one of the purposes and
intent of a Mixed Use Planned Unit Development is to "provide affordable
housing." Therefore, staff is recommending that a third (3rd) level be
added to the retail /commercial buildings to accommodate "workforce
housing."
4. The Art in Public Places Advisory Board has recently stated that the
applicant needs to consider relocating the art work proposed within the
entrance to the residential parcel 31.06 on the north side of the project.
The entry sign at that location will interfere with the art's visibility, and it is
believed the art will have more visibility if it is relocated to the
commercial /retail area below the Mixed Use line.
Planning. Zoning►, and Appeals Board:
Several Commissioners commented that the project was a beautiful design and
very well done, but believed the following issues needed to be addressed:
5. Provide an additional recreational center on the south residential parcel
(31.07).
6. The number of waivers needs to be reduced, including sign waivers.
7. The parking garage architecture does not fit the project.
8. The size of the 9' x 18' parking garage spaces needs to be increased to
meet Code requirements.
9. The walkways from the parking garage to the retail /commercial area
should be aesthetically enhanced so that they are more appealing.
10. Only one building should be allowed as a dry model prior to plat approval.
11. Minimum pavement widths for rights -of -way should not be reduced from
50' to 40'.
12.The gothic arch or "bishop's hat" features on the residential buildings
should be eliminated.
13. ClubhouseNillage Center: Redesign front elevation shown on Sheet PR-
CH-A-3 to eliminate oval window and center the doorway in the space.
iF .
14. Eliminate long, straight roof lines and provide more breaks where
possible.
15. Eliminate designs on the residential garage doors and have glass in the
upper part of the doors.
16.A specific use such as a "furniture store" should not be used to meet
parking requirements, and could be detrimental to the City. There should
be more flexibility in the uses proposed.
17. Address how HOA and POA will be structured for the entire project.
18. The commercial /retail area is believed to be too intense for the
neighborhood, and the viability was questioned. Concerned that the
development will become a "destination point" rather than a neighborhood
commercial area. Concerned that the development will not work at this
location.
19. Address the streetscape at the rear of the western commercial buildings.
20. Graphics and statistics need to be provided for agenda packets in the
future.
As a reminder, please note that Section 78 -43(i) of the Land Development
Regulations requires the Applicant to respond within 30 days to a request for
information, plans, or other materials. In this case, the deadline shall be
February 25, 2006.
The items listed above may not represent all the comments made by staff and
the PZAB. Therefore, as the review process continues and new plans and
materials are submitted, additional comments will be forthcoming.

Parking Garage
Even though the parking facility site is in a low risk area, the risk may change in the future;
therefore parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large area
with relatively low levels of activity; with this in mind the Police Department makes the following
comments:
Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a parking garage and serves
as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity. Lighting recommendations are as follows:
Shall adhere to the IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America)
standards for garages and use metal halide lighting.
Design shall incorporate both vertical and horizontal luminance.
Lighting shall extend into parking stalls and over vehicles rather than just into
driving aisles. To avoid the fixtures should not be flushed to ceiling.
The exterior of garage shall be well lighted on all sides.
Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance depth perception,
and should be vandalism resistant.
Ground level pedestrian exits that open into non - secure areas should be emergency exits only,
fitted with panic bar hardware and install "local' alarm that activates if ground level door is
opened (when exit is intended for emergency use only).
Stairwells shall be designed to be completely visible from either interior or exterior.
Stairwells shall have open metal handrails and steps. Areas beneath
stairways at ground level shall be fully enclosed or access to them limited.
Interior doors to stairwells shall have fire light glass doors - vision panel of one
hundred square inches with a minimum 5" width.
Convex mirrors and video surveillance cameras shall be installed in each stairwell.
Elevators with at least one shaft wall exposed to the exterior shall have clear glazing installed in
the one wall to provide visibility into the elevator cab.
Video camera shall be installed in each elevator cab or install shatter resistant mirrors or equally
reflect material so placed as to make entire cab interior visible to entering visitors.
Applicant shall install a video camera at exit /entry to parking facility to capture in /outbound
vehicle traffic.
Applicant shall assign parking facility a street address displayed at main entrance using numbers of
twelve inches in height and of contrasting color.
Directional signage, including floor designation and section, shall be provided to expedite
movement through facility. Signage shall be displayed not less than 60 inches from parking
surface and highly visible from within any portion of the facility.
Parkway Preserve /Meandering paths:
Shall maximize natural surveillance for the pedestrian users through selective vegetative
management practices. Ground cover should be no higher than 24" and trees having a minimum
7' clear trunk space creating a natural surveillance window.
Install 12' pedestrian scale lighting along pathways.
Sights lines should have a 12' clear distance space at entry points, curves, mergers, intersections,
etc...
If Benches in park area intended for nighttime use shall have adequate lighting in the area they are
located. Benches should also be in open view to eliminate concealment areas.
Install signage to promote enhanced safety and awareness:
Example:
Trail system traverses heavily
wooded and secluded areas

Memo to File
To: Jackie Holloman, Planner
Through: Mark Hendrickson, City Forester
From: Ray Caranci, Forestry Technician
Subject: PUD -04 -11 Central Park
Date: June 27, 2007
The new landscape plan submitted seems to be a downgrade in quantity and quality of
landscaping under the guise of photometric compatibility changes.
I have reviewed the Land Development Regulations for the above referenced petition,
and provide the following comments:
Previous comments 1 through 8 have been previously satisfied or withdrawn.
9. Conditionally Satisfied.
Comments 10 and 11 have been previously satisfied.
12. In accordance with Section 78 -315 (g) of the LDR, multilevel parking garages shall
have planters installed to permit the installation of trees on the top level of the structure.
Please update the landscape plan accordingly or ask for a waiver. Not Satisfied. Staff
remains in support of the LDR requirement and does not support the requested
waiver. Prior to the scheduling of City Council, the applicant shall revise the site
plan and landscape plan to include the installation of planters to permit the
installation of trees on the top level of the parking garage. At a minimum one
planter with tree shall be installed for every nine parking spaces located in a row,
similar to what is required for normal surface parking.
13. Satisfied. A total of 13 (22 -28 foot) Washingtonia Palms are shown on the
landscape plan.
Comments 14 through 21 have been previously satisfied.
22. In accordance with Section 78 -319 of the LDR, a minimum landscape buffer of at
least 20 feet in depth shall be required on lands located adjacent to public street rights -of-
way that are 100 feet wide or greater. The right -of -way for Central Boulevard is 120 feet
wide. Areas that are prohibited from within required perimeter buffers include lake
maintenance easements. The proposed plan has two lake maintenance easements within
the Central Boulevard buffer. The applicant shall request a waiver to allow the two lake
maintenance easements to be located within the required perimeter buffer adjacent to
Central Boulevard. To compensate for this waiver, I recommend the applicant increase
the height of the cypress trees proposed for installation within the littoral planting zones
adjacent to Central Boulevard to an overall height of 12 — 18 feet. The installation of
trees meeting this height will help to provide the screening of the site normally obtained
by the required perimeter buffer. Trees shall be planted with staggered heights to create
the look of a natural setting. Conditionally Satisfied based on the proposed text
amendment.
Comments 23 through 25 have been previously satisfied.
26. In accordance with Section 78 -681 (b) (6) f. of the LDR, the area contained in public
or private street rights -of -way is not considered as open space and receives no credit
toward complying with open space requirements. Please revise the acreage shown for the
amount of open space provided to exclude those areas located within street rights -of -way.
Conditionally Satisfied. The applicant shall work with the City Forester to revise the
CAD files to document the amount of open space provided for the entire site.
27. In accordance with Section 78 -681 (b) (1) a. of the LDR, if a recreation facility is
located or concentrated in a single or localized section of a PUD or other development,
and less than 30 percent of the residential dwelling units abut the facility, only 50 percent
of the area contained in the facility may count toward complying with open space
requirements. I believe that the CAD drawings indicate 100 percent of the area has been
counted toward complying with open space requirements. Please revise the acreage
shown for the amount of open space provided to only include 50 percent of the recreation
area facility. Conditionally Satisfied. Upon further review by staff, this code requires
the applicant to demonstrate open space requirements can be met while using only
50 percent of the recreation area facility. Once required open space is met, the
applicant can show 100 percent of the area as open space provided. Prior to the
scheduling of City Council the applicant shall demonstrate required open space can
be met counting only 50 percent of the recreation area facility. Upon this criteria
being met, the site data table shall be amended to include the entire recreation area
as open space provided.
28. In accordance with Section 78 -681 (b) (2) c. of the LDR, manmade water bodies and
canals shall not account for more than 50 percent of the required open space in a
development. The acreage of the proposed lake tracts accounts for more than 50 percent
of the required open space. The applicant shall request a waiver from this code
requirement. Conditionally Satisfied. Upon further review by staff, this code requires
the applicant to demonstrate open space requirements can be met while using only
50 percent of the manmade water bodies. Once required open space is met, the
applicant can show 100 percent of the area as open space provided. Prior to the
scheduling of City Council the applicant shall demonstrate required open space can
be met counting only 50 percent of the manmade water bodies. Upon this criteria
being met, the site data table shall be amended to include all the manmade water
bodies as open space provided.
Comments 29 and 30 have been previously satisfied.
31. The applicant has requested a waiver from Section 78 -319 (a) (2). This waiver is
not necessary as the proposed text amendment will resolve this issue.
Comment 32 has been previously satisfied.
33. The applicant shall install a meandering sidewalk with low groundcover adjacent to
Central Boulevard between the two site entrances. The design of the sidewalk and
landscaping shall be consistent with that proposed from Hood Road to the northern site
entrance. Not Satisfied. Prior to the scheduling of City Council, the applicant shall
revise the site plan and landscape plan to include the installation of the meandering
sidewalk with low groundcover. The sidewalk shall be built on a stabilized
subsurface engineered to withstand the appropriate equipment traffic. As of this
submittal, the meandering sidewalk has been indicated, but especially along the lake,
there are no low plantings near the sidewalk area. Please revise the plan to show low
plantings along the meandering sidewalk along Central Boulevard.
Additional comments for this resubmittal:
1. The median planting and landscaping has been removed or reduced in
several areas. The most notable is the removal of the median at the southern
entrance off Central Blvd. This leaves the area devoid of landscaping. The
other areas of note are the median planting areas to both residential
entrances. The guardhouse and parking have been removed and the planting
areas reduced. There are also areas near the entrances that have had
reductions in quantity and quality of plant material. Please revise the plans
to restore the quantity of landscaping in these areas.
2. The landscape points have been reduced by 3,937 in parcel 31.06, and 3,487
in parcel 31.07. This is a total reduction of 7,424 points, or a net 14 percent
decrease from the last submittal. All oaks have been removed from the
planting around the residential units. Please indicate the reason for the
reduction in plant quantity and in some cases, quality.
3. The Lighting plan still shows 20 foot tall lights in front of the residential
units. These lights are in close proximity to the residence windows and no
detail is shown that they are directional in nature to direct light away from
the windows. Please show a detail if the lighting is directional, or reduce or
move the lighting fixtures.
4. On the south side of building `G' there are exposed Seacoast valves that are
required to be screened. There is also a grease trap located in this area,
directly in the area indicated as a pedestrian plaza. Please revise the plan to
relocate the grease trap to a less exposed location closer to the Seacoast
valves, and screen the utilities from view.
5. A chain link fence has been added to the plan surrounding the preserve
areas. Please provide screening for at least 50 percent of the fence from the
public view.
6. There are exposed Seacoast valves on the east side of the recreation area
building. Please provide screening for this area.
Conditions of Approval
1. Prior to land alteration, the applicant shall submit the FP &L and SUA approved
landscape plans for review and approval by the City. Major Changes to the landscape
plan may be determined by the Growth Management Administrator to be re- reviewed and
approved by the City Council.
Also, please understand that additional information may be requested, and staff may have
additional comments as the review process continues.

RE: Central Park
Dear Ms. Holloman:
OITy OF PALM RCN GDNS
JUN 1 2007
PI.Ri`IN 8,1UNING DID
We offer the following comments on your transmittal dated June 4, 2007 concerning the referenced project.
1. The applicant needs to clarify if the roads in the project will be public or private. Seacoast will
require indemnification for the proposed improvements over the 24" raw water transmission main
from the north side of the parking garage north to the north side of residential Building 9.
2. Buildings B, C and D have residential units on the 3rd and 4th floors. The applicant is advised that
residential properties must be metered separately from commercial properties; this applies to
sewer service as well.
3. It appears that the proposed overhead walkways between Buildings B and F and Buildings C and
G will not meet required setbacks between structures and water and sewer lines, in addition, the
overhead clearance is inadequate.
4. Once detailed water and sewer drawings are available, we will be able to provide additional input
on this project.
Please call if you require additional information.
Sincerely,
SE O T UTILITY

MEMORANDUM
To: Judy A. T. Dye
LBFH, Inc.
From: Maria M. Tejera, P.E.
Date: May 15, 2007
Reference: Central Park - Parcel 31.06/31.07

Copy: Masoud Atefi, MSCE
Palm Beach County
Palm Beach County and MTP Group have performed a coordinated review of a Traffic Impact
Analysis prepared by Kimley -Horn and Associates, Inc. dated April 2007. The proposed
development is to be located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Hood Road and
Central Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The project is currently approved and is
requesting a time extension to the year 2010. The proposed development plan consists of:
• 57,500 square feet of commercial retail;
• 50,000 square feet of professional office use, and;
• 200 multi- family residential units.
We have the following comments:
1. Land uses presented in the site plan (Appendix G) are inconsistent with those
presented in the study.
2. Although the proposed land uses density and intensity have remained the same,
project traffic generation forecasts have changed from what was previously
submitted in March 2007. For example, there is an error in the calculation of
daily internal capture for commercial retail. The previous study contained
correct information related to this.
3. Internal capture presented in Table 1 for the p.m. peak hour is inconsistent with
that calculated in the Internal Capture Worksheets (Appendix A).
4. Figure 2 needs to show access from the project to Hood Road. Tables 2 and 3
also need to be revised to include the link on Hood Road between Central
Boulevard and the project access driveway.
5. The 100% assignment of project traffic on Central Boulevard needs to be
revised as some of these traffic uses Hood Road to enter /exit the project.
6. Table 3 needs to be revised as follows: the LOS D reference needs to be
Judy A. T. Dye
Central Park - Parcel 31.06131.07
May 15, 2007
Page 2 of 2
changed to LOS E (typo).
7. The proposed site access on the northwest corner of the property seems to have
been designed too close to the site access for the adjacent residential property.
The Hood Road access will be highly utilized by the residential portion of the
development. There are also concerns over the 15% westbound U -turns along
Hood Road to enter the site.
Please provide a U -turn analysis at the first median opening or opportunity
along Hood Road immediately west of the site. Identify storage length
necessary to accommodate vehicles using the left -turn lane at this location.
9. There appears to be additional committed developments which are not included
in the traffic study. For example: Parcel 4.07B, Borland Center, Parcel 31B,
Abacoa, Golf Digest, Regional Center, etc.
10. Projects which are partially built need to include information about approved
and existing uses in the first trimester of 2006 in order to determine percent
remaining. In the context of the traffic study, percent remaining relates to
traffic and not land uses. Existing uses refer to those uses which have received
a certificate of occupancy.
11. While the project has changed significantly from that originally approved for
traffic concurrency, project driveway assignment has not been revised. This
information will be reviewed as soon as the site plan is available.
12. Provide an evaluation of the northern driveway along Central Boulevard. This
evaluation need to include traffic volumes on the "future Linkage Road ".
13. Development of background traffic at intersections should follow the same
methodology as that uses for development of background traffic at roadway
links.
14. Explain how the weighted average intersection growth rates were calculated.
Should you have any questions or comments concerning the above, do not hesitate to give us a call
at (561) 795 -0678.
