EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting to amend conditions and exhibits of Resolution 196, 2004. The
modifications are related to removing the requirement for pedestrian lighting along Hood Road, the
removal of the requirement for a six-foot clear zone for access between the single-family homes, and
a request for a waiver to allow additional entry signage for the project. The Paloma Planned Unit
Development (PUD) is approximately a 156.47-acre tract of land located at the southwest comer of
the intersection of Hood Road and Military Trail.
BACKGROUND
The Paloma Planned Unit Development (PUD) was approved by the City Council on January 6,
2005, by Ordinance 39,2004, for a rezoning from Planned Development Area (PDA) to PUD, with
an underlying zoning of Residential Low -3 (RL-3). The master site plan allowed for 199 single-
family homes and 196 multi-family units to be constructed on three parcels, as approved by
Resolution 196,2004.
LAND USE AND ZONING
The Paloma PUD currently has a hture land use designation of Residential Medium (RM) and
Residential High (RH) and a zoning designation of Planned Unit Development (PUD), with an
underlying zoning of Residential Low -3 (RL-3). The proposed changes to the PUD will not require
amendments to the zoning or Comprehensive Plan designations for the property.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
The applicant is requesting to amend conditions and exhibits of Resolution 196,2004. The proposed
amendments consist of the elimination of the requirement for pedestrian scale lighting along Hood
Road, of the removal of the requirement for a six-foot clear zone for access between the single-
family homes, and of a request for a waiver to allow additional entry signage for the project.
Condition modification and pedestrian lighting waiver
Section 78-1 82 of the City Code requires that pathways and pedestrian open space areas need to be
lit. The minimum average that has to be maintained is 1 .O foot candle. However, the applicant is
requesting to modify condition of approval number four (4) of Resolution 196,2004, which requires
the applicant to install pedestrian scale lighting along Hood Road. Therefore, in addition to the
modification of the language of the condition, the applicant is also requesting the following waiver:

1. Section 78-1 82 of the City Code - Waiver from the 1 .O foot candle lighting standard for
pathways, and pedestrian open space areas. 0
Modification of Resolution 196, 2004 of condition of approval number 4 .
4. The applicant shall be required to provide pedestrian scale (maximum fourteen foot (1 4‘)
height) lighting along the pedestrian pathways along Military Trail, $!I&&&&, and Central
Boulevard. The lighting plan for the meandering pedestrian sidewalk within the
parkway/preserve area shall be submitted within thirty (30) days of approval. (Planning and
Zoning).
Applicant’s Justification:
According to the applicant, they have been successful with the installation of the pedestrian scale
lighting, which is at a 0.6 foot candles along Central Boulevard, Military Trail and within the
community. The lighting levels are lower than the current code requirement, because at the time of
the approval of the Paloma PUD the code did not have the current one foot candle requirement. The
applicant has not been successful in installing the pedestrian lights along Hood Road, as the only
area which would remain unencumbered by easements and would allow for the installation of the
pedestrian lights is within the Palm Beach County Right-of-way (ROW) of Hood Road.
The sidewalk along Hood Road was constructed by Palm Beach County with the recent expansion of
Hood Road, and meanders, according to code, within the right-of-way. Furthermore, the northern
boundary of the Paloma PUD along Hood Road, adjacent to the ROW, is encumbered with 30 feet of
Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA) easements, which include major water transmission lines. The
SUA has indicated that the lights could be permissible in the easements provided that the minimum
separation can be maintained between the pole footer and the pipe (see attached letter). According to
the applicant, the lights’ footers can not maintain the minimum four foot separation requirement
between Seacoast’s pipes. The southern edge of the SUA easements is 30 feet from the ROW line,
and due to the meandering of the sidewalk, the distance from the sidewalk to closest point where a
light pole could be installed is between 34-40 feet. If the pedestrian lights were to be installed south
of the SUA easement, the height of the light poles would need to be raised and the intensity of the
light would need to be increased to 25 foot candles. These light levels far exceed the current code
allowances of one foot candle and would cause undue hardship for the adjacent residents.
0
The applicant has researched and entertained the idea of using bollards as an alternative, and has
determined that while bollards might meet the separation requirements of SUA. The applicant would
not be able to meet the light level requirements on the sidewalk as it meanders away from the ROW
line, Therefore, in light of the SUA’S easements, the Palm Beach County ROW was an option where
the pedestrian lights could be installed. Unfortunately, Palm Beach County has determined that
pedestrian lighting can not be permitted within the ROW, if street lighting is not present (see
attached letter).
The applicant has looked into purchasing direct burial poles which would not have the same size
footer requirements. According to the applicant, the only direct burial poles that are available are
concrete and do not match the existing poles, and aesthetically would not be an acceptable

Petition PUDA-07-08-000009
Page 4 of 6
alternative. The applicant has stated that the concrete poles present an extra weight which could
create issues with regard to their proximity to the SUA lines. According to the applicant, in order to
meet wind load requirements, direct burial poles are required to be much longer than the aluminum
poles. The additional length and weight of the concrete presents an additional risk to the SUA
personnel and to the pipes should a water main need to be repaired. Also, additional testing would
need to be done to the soil to determine if a footer would be required. If a footer is required, the
separation could not be maintained to the SUA line, as previously discussed.
Staff Analysis:
The applicant has partially fulfilled the requirements of Condition 4 of Resolution 196, 2004, by
installing the pedestrian scale lighting along Central Boulevard and along Military Trail. This is due
to the fact that, the applicant was able to avoid conflicts with SUA easements on their property, and
did not need to place the pedestrian light poles within the ROW. Unfortunately, this was not the case
along Hood Road.
The applicant has demonstrated that they have worked with Palm Beach County and Seacoast
Utilities and have researched possible alternatives to provide pedestrian scale lighting along Hood
Road in a similar fashion. Staff has recognized that the SUA existing conditions of the easement
encumbrances prevent the applicant from installing the pedestrian scale lights on their property. This
is due to the fact that the applicant would not be able to meet the four foot separation between the
pipes within the 30-foot easement area. In addition, staff accepts the applicant’s conclusion that
bollards would not be effective in properly illuminating the sidewalk, and could possibly create glare
for the motorists due to the height of the bollards. Also, the usage of concrete light poles, as stated
by the applicant, could pose a threat to the SUA workers due to the weight of the poles.
Furthermore, aesthetically, the poles would not be in line with the existing pedestrian light poles.
Therefore, the placing of the pedestrian scale lights within the ROW would have been the other
second-best location, but due to Palm Beach County’s objection, the applicant has been unable to
install the pedestrian lights within the ROW. Staffhas no objection to this condition modzfzcation
and waiver request.
Sign waiver
Section 78-285 of the City Code permits only one residential entry feature or sign per entry into a
residential subdivision. However, the applicant is requesting to provide a second entry sign, on each
of the three main entry feature wall locations. The entry features are located at the intersections of
Military Trail and Victoria Falls Boulevard, Elm Avenue and Hood Road, and Victoria Falls
Boulevard and Central Boulevard. Therefore, the applicant is requesting the following waiver:

2. Section 78-285 of the City Code - Waiver to permit a second residential entry sign.
Applicant’s Justification:
Section 78-285 of the City Code permits only one residential entry feature or sign per entry into a
subdivision. The applicant is requesting approval for a second entry sign, on each of the three main
entry feature wall locations. The applicant has indicated the second entry sign will allow the
residents and the general public to find the project more easily and will help to eliminate confusion
on the roadways. Currently, the project name is only on one side of the Elm Avenue and Hood Road,
and the Military Trail and Victoria Falls Boulevard intersections and not on the Victoria Falls
Boulevard and Central Boulevard intersection. As a result, the project name is only visible from one
direction or not at all. According to the applicant, this has caused concern with regard to emergency
vehicles, visitors and deliveries.
Staff Analysis:
Staff has evaluated the applicant’s request and has determined that it is consistent with residential
communities in the area which have multiple entrances and two monument sign features. For
example, Frenchman’s Reserve, San Michele, PGA National, Bent Tree and Mirasol (Photographs of
the entry signage for these communities is enclosed). These are intended to better inform motorists of
the location of entry into the development. Staffhas no objection to this waiver request.
Removal of six-foot clear zone for the single-family lots within Parcel C
The intention of the six-foot clear zone is to provide access to the rear yards of all lots for the
purpose of digging, repairing, or otherwise maintaining pools and screens.
Applicant’s Justification:
In practice, the provision of the six-foot clear zone has presented problems in interpretation of fence
setbacks and in some cases has created undesirable corridors between fences. According to the
applicant, all single family lots within Paloma have alternate access to the rear yards via open space
areas, so the applicant is requesting that the restriction be removed.
Staff Analysis:
The six-foot clear zone requirement was added to the Paloma development and other developments
such as Evergrene, because it was not provided in the Sanctuary development and issues arose
requiring access to the existing lakes. The Sanctuary development, unlike Paloma, does not have the
number of open space tracts which could accommodate access to the residents’ rear yards. Therefore
the six-foot clear zone requirement is necessary in the Sanctuary. In the case of Paloma, clear and
unencumbered access was provided to all lakes and rear yards within the development. Therefore,
access on each residential lot is not required and creates a negative effect on the individual
enjoyment of each residential lot. The residents can access the back of their properties through the
open space areas which connect to either the 20 foot water management easement running behind the
single family lots around the lake, or to other open space tracts behind the lots that abut the preserves
or the ROWS. Staffhas no objection to this request.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on the information provided by the applicant and staffs review of the existing conditions,
staff does not object to the proposed modification to Condition 4 of Resolution 196,2004, or to the
waiver request to eliminate the pedestrian scale lighting along Hood Road. In addition, staff does not
object to the applicant’s waiver request to add the Paloma name to the entry wall features at the
following three intersections: Military Trail and Victoria Falls Boulevard, Elm Avenue and Hood
Road, and Victoria Falls Boulevard and Central Boulevard. Furthermore, staff does not object to the
deletion of the six-foot clear zone note on the plans for the single-family lots.
Staff recommends APPROVAL of Petition PUDA-07-08-000009.

RequestLocation
The Paloma PUD is a 156.47-acre tract of land located at the southwest corner of the
intersection of Hood Road and Military Trail. The Paloma PUD was approved by the City
Council on January 6,2005 by Ordinance 39, 2004 for a rezoning from PDA to PUD, with
an underlying zoning of Residential Low -3 (RL-3). Resolution 196, 2004, allowed for 199
single-family homes and 196 multi-family units to be constructed on three parcels.
Since the original approval, the Paloma PUD has received approval for four (4)
subsequent Administrative Amendments. The first Administrative Amendment approved
an updated site plan which was changed for consistency with easement and utility
locations as shown on the approved plat and engineering plans. The three other
Administrative Amendments allowed additional architectural options for both the single
family and multi-family models, and added additional single family model floor plan
options. There is currently an Administrative Amendment which is being processed for
Kolter Communities which will allow new single family models for the un-built lots within
Parcel C. Please note that Kolter Communities has purchased all of MI Homes un-built
lots and will be completing construction of the balance of the units within the project.
With this request, the applicant, M/I Homes of West Palm Beach, L.L.C., is requesting; to
modify the approved plans to remove the requirement for a six-foot clear zone between
the homes, to relieve the development from the requirement of installing the pedestrian
lights along Hood Road, and to request a waiver to allow the entry signs to have the
Paloma name and logo added to the entrance walls.
Please also note that the master site plan submitted with this application includes the
modifications approved through Administrative Amendments, as well as minor FPL
easements which were required subsequent to the plat being recorded, and notations
regarding the locations of the models and temporary sales center parking areas for the
Townhomes.

Project Signage
The applicant is requesting a modification to the approved entrance signage at the major
entrance points located at the intersections of Military Trail and Victoria Falls Blvd., Elm
Avenue and Hood Road, and at the corner of Central Blvd. and Victoria Falls Blvd. This
request will require a waiver from Section 78-285, which only allows one sign per entry. At
the time of the approval of the original PUD, the applicant requested the approval for the

signs, but subsequently agreed to limit the number of signs on the entrance wall features
to only one side. Since the construction of the entry featureskigns, it has become
apparent that not having signage visible from both directions presents a problem for the
residents and the general public to locate the project. Included in this application is a
waiver request to allow the Paloma name and logo to be added to each of the entry
feature walls.
Six Foot Clear Zone
At the time of the approval of the PUD, the 6' clear zone was required to provide an
access way to the rear yards of all lots. This request was in response to concerns that
access to the rear yards for the purpose of digging, repairing, or otherwise maintaining
pools and screen enclosures could be preserved. In practice, the provision of the 6' clear
zone has presented problems for the city staff in enforcement, and interpretation of fence
setbacks and in some cases created undesirable corridors between fences. In the case of
Paloma, all single family lots and multi-family units have alternate access to the rear yards
by way of open space or buffers so the applicant is requesting that the restriction be
removed.
Pedestrian Lighting e
The applicant is requesting that Condition 4, which requires the installation of pedestrian
lighting, be modified to eliminate the requirement for pedestrian lighting along Hood Road.
The requested modification is as follows:
4. The applicant shall be required to provide pedestrian scale (maximum fourteen
foot (14') height) lighting along the pedestrian pathways along Military Trail, tkmd
Road, and Central Boulevard. The lighting plan for the meandering pedestrian
sidewalk within the parkway/preserve area shall be submitted within thirty (30) days
of approval. (Planning and Zoning).
In conjunction with the condition modification request, a waiver is also being requested
from Section 78-1 82(c)(2), Illumination of Uses and Buildings, Table 1 which requires
Pathways and pedestrian open spaces to be illuminated.
The applicant has diligently pursued permitting for the lights, and has been successful with
the installation along Central Boulevard, within the community, and along Military Trail,
however, all alternatives of how to install the lights along Hood Road have been
exhausted without resolution. The permit application request for approval from Palm
Beach County to allow the lights to be placed within the ROW along Hood Road was
denied. Palm Beach County has determined that pedestrian lighting can not be permitted
within the ROW, if street lighting is not present (see attached letter). They are concerned
that the pedestrian lighting, without street lighting, would cause confusion for the drivers

and that the sidewalk would be mistaken for the roadway.
The sidewalk was constructed by Palm Beach County with the expansion of Hood Road,
and meanders, within the ROW, between Military Trail and Central Boulevard. The
northern boundary of the Paloma PUD along Hood Road, adjacent to the ROW, is
encumbered with 30’ of Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA) Easements. These easements
include major water transmission lines. SUA has indicated that the lights could be
permissible in the easements, provided the minimum separation can be maintained
between the pole footer and the pipe (see attached letter), however, the minimum
separations can not be met due to the size of the footer at the base of the light pole.
The light pole footers are 2.5’ in diameter x 4.55’ deep. SUA has a minimum separation
between their pipes and the footer of 4’. There is a 24” SUA water main approximately 3’
to 4’ from the ROW line. There is another 24” raw water main and a 36” raw water main
just south of the water main. Those pipes are separated by approximately 7’ and 5’
respectively. The remaining SUA easement is to be used for a new 36” main. The new
36” pipe will be centered approximately IO’ south of the existing 36” line. The footer can
not fit in between the existing and proposed pipes and maintain the minimum 4’
separation that SUA needs. The concern that SUA has is that if the line were to break,
and need repair, the footer could pose a danger to the SUA staff, or could cause
additional damage to the pipe. The southern edge of the SUA easements is 30’ from the
ROW line. Because the sidewalk meanders, the distance from the sidewalk to the closest
point where a pole could be installed, is between 34 and 40 feet.
At that distance the height of the light poles would need to be raised and the intensity of
the light would need to be increased to 25 foot candles to project enough light on the
sidewalk to meet the minimum .06 foot candle standard. It was determined that the 25
foot candle fixture far exceeds the code allowances and would cause undue hardship for
the adjacent residents.
0
The applicant has investigated using bollards as an alternative. While the footers for a
bollard are generally smaller and might be able to be designed to meet windload
requirements and meet the separation requirements of SUA to allow them to be put within
the SUA easement, they would not be able to meet the light level requirements on the
sidewalk as the sidewalk meanders away from the ROW line. Because bollards are
generally a maximum of 48” in height, the area that is covered by the light is much
smaller. As the sidewalk meanders away from the southern ROW line, the light levels
required by code for the sidewalk can not be maintained. In addition, because the height
of a bollard is at eye level to a car, they present a safety glare hazard for drivers and are
discouraged by the lighting professionals for sidewalks adjacent to roadways.
The applicant has already purchased the lights, and has been prepared to install them for
over a year. However, as an alternative, to try and address this issue, the applicant
investigated purchasing direct burial poles which would generally not have the same size
footer requirements. The only direct burial poles that are available are concrete, which in
addition to not matching the rest of the existing poles, are substantially heavier. In order to

L .
Project Narrative

Page 6
meet wind load requirements, direct burial poles are required to be much longer than the
aluminum poles now being used. The additional length and weight of the concrete
presents an additional risk to the SUA personnel and pipes should a water main need to
be repaired. In addition, additional testing would need to be done to the soils to determine
if a footer would be required. If a footer was required, the separation could not be
maintained to the SUA line. The concrete poles present an extra weight which could
create issues with regard to their proximity to the SUA lines, and esthetically would not be
an acceptable alternative. Because of the additional risks, costs, and the esthetic
differences this alternative was determined not to be feasible.
The applicant is prepared, and anxious, to install the lights, they have, however,
exhausted all possible alternatives with regard to securing approval for the permitting of
the lights within the ROW and have no alternative but to ask for relief from this
requirement as they can not meet code by installing the lights outside of the SUA
easements.
Waivers
Entrance Signs
The applicant is requesting a waiver from Section 78-285, Table 24:Permanent Signs, to
allow the Paloma name to be added to each of the main entry feature walls located at the
three intersections of Military Trail and Victoria Falls Blvd., Elm Ave. and Hood Road, and
Victoria Falls Blvd. and Central Blvd. The proposed addition will allow the residents and
the general public to find the project more easily and will help to eliminate confusion on
the roadways. Currently the project name is only on one side of the Hood Road and
Military Trail intersections and not on the Central Blvd. intersection at all. As a result, the
project name is only visible from one direction or not at all. This has caused concern with
regard to emergency vehicles, visitors and deliveries. This request is consistent with the
entry signs of several residential communities in the area including Frenchman’s Reserve,
San Michele, PGA National, Bent Tree and Mirasol. Please see the attached photographs
of the entry signage for these communities.
0
This project is unique in it’s configuration with regard to how the Thoroughfare Plan public
roadways were required and have split the overall property into three separate and distinct
parcels. It is the applicants desire, in accordance with the intent of the code, to provide a
comprehensive signage program to help “facilitate an easy and pleasant communication
between people and their environment.” The entry features have been designed in an
effort to compensate for the roadway configuration and to try and unify the community.
The gateways, archways and benches help to provide additional incentives for pedestrian
connectivity and encourage interaction among the residents. It is our intent that the entry
features, logos and other elements will provide a cohesive common theme along the
public roadways to re-enforce and establish a sense of community. By allowing the
Paloma name on the entry feature walls it will be much more esthetically pleasing, be 0

consistent with the community theme, be consistent with similar residential communities,
and provide clear communication to the those trying to find the project.
Pedestrian Lights
The applicant is also requesting a waiver from Section 78-1 82(c)(2), Illumination of Uses
and Buildings, Table 1 which requires Pathways and Pedestrian Open Spaces to be
illuminated. This waiver request is limited to the frontage of Hood Road and is in
response to the inability of the applicant to get approval from the necessary public
agencies to allow the lights to be installed in either the right-of-way, or in the utility
easements. As noted above, all alternative methods of installation, location, and lighting
options have been evaluated without success.
