Falasz, Planner DATE: July 15, 1998 SUBJECT: United States Post Office, Tequesta Brach Site Plan Review Scheduled for July 23, 1998 CC: Scott D. Ladd, Director of Community Development This project is scheduled for a Special Exception Hearing and Site Plan Review (SPR) on July 23, 1998. As you may be aware, the United States Post Office (USPO) claims that as an instrumentality of the United States it is immune from the review and permitting processes. The USPO has, as a courtesy, agreed to complete some of our review processes with the exception of the Community Appearance Board (CAB). Therefore, council will need sit as the CAB at the time of the SPR, reviewing the application for the CAB. Please provide this iriformation to the Village Council. If you have any questions or concerns you may contact me. Thank you. MEMORANDUM TO: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager FROM: Scott D. Ladd,Director of Community Development ".

Ladd, Director of Community Development �� DATE: July 15, 1998 SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Special Exception Use Tequesta Post Office, 401 North Old Dixie Hwy. Approximately 19,000 Square Foot Postal Facility Tom, attached are eighteen (18) packets for the above referenced Public Hearing. Please place this item on the agenda of the July 23, 1998, Village Council meeting. Staff recommends approval. An examination of the special exception criteria by staff indicates the following: O The proposed use is a valid use for consideration by the Village Council. O The proposed use is designed, located and proposed to be operated so that the public health, safety and welfare will be protected. O There is no way to know if this proposed project will have an adverse affect on the value of surrounding properties. O The use is substantially compatible with adjacent development and the character of the zoning district where it is to be located (M-U, Mixed Use District). O Landscaping and screening is partially provided as required by Ordinance 377. O Inadequate off-street parking and loading is provided. Approximately 190 parking spaces are required by our code and only 122 spaces are proposed with 40 of the 122 spaces for patron use. Ingress and egress is provided and causes minimal interference with traffic on abutting streets. O The use conforms with most, but not all, applicable regulations of the M-U, Mixed Use District. Staff Comments: This proposed new postal facility review is coming to us as a "courtesy" review. This is due to a recent court action that, in effect, provides immunity for the U.S. Postal Service from having to comply with a municipality's review process, zoning regulations, etc. The new postal facility does meet the intent of the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan even though certain zoning regulations are not fully complied with. In a spirit of cooperation and to make this project a viable project for Tequesta, Staff recommends approval.

VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA VILLAGE COUNCIL June 11, 1998 Staff Report and Recommendations for Development Review Committee (DRC) and Site Plan Review(SPR) Background: An application for Site Plan Review and Development Review Committee of the Tequesta Branch of the United States Post Office (USPO)has been submitted to our offices, yet no fees have been paid at this time. The 18,000± square foot USPO is to be located on five acres of land located at 401 Old Dixie Highway, approximately 950 feet north of Tequesta Drive. Adjacent to the north is the Palm Beach County Library, Tequesta Branch. To the south is undeveloped land, to the east is Tequesta Oaks residential neighborhood and to the west is Old Dixie Highway. The undeveloped site is zoned mixed-use and is currently owned by First Union National Bank Trust. The application was submitted by PQH Architects, acting as applicant/agent for the United States Post Office. Staff Report and Comments: A formal meeting of the Development Review Committee was held on Tuesday July 14, 1998 at 2:00 p.m. In attendance representing the Village were: Chief Steve Allison, Sergeant Riccardi, Michelle Falasz, Tom Hall, Scott Ladd, Al Oslund, and Chief Jim Weinand. Staffs review, comments and requests are outlined below: Comments by Michelle E.Falasz,Planner: • There are some environmental concerns which need to be addressed properly. There are gopher turtle burrows on site. Ecologist, Kelly Samuels of Glatting; Jackson, et. al. has sent a more detailed report on the burrows and what the mitigation efforts will be. We will require a copy of the permit obtained from Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission. We questioned the existence of scrub jays on the site, Ms. Samuels was unaware of the scrub jay population which we have in Tequesta and is going to reassess the site. A copy of the reassessment is to be sent to our offices. • The six (6)foot wide walk which extends around the rear of the site is too wide. Reduce this walk to four(4)feet in width and add landscaping. • The brick wall at the rear of the site is a safety concern. Currently, Tequesta Oaks which is to the east of the site, has a concrete wall which already exists. There is no need for two walls, ten feet from one another. This creates an "alley"which is unsafe, difficult to landscape and difficult to maintain. We are aware that the USPS is in the process of working an agreement with the Tequesta Oaks Homeowners Association, to add on to the existing Tequesta Oaks wall. Please provide a copy of the agreement and such details associated with'this issue. • Please provide the sign detail, including color, for the monument type sign. Page 2 July 15, 1998 Comments on Proposed Tequesta Post Office • What are the plans for the protection of trees on site? Please provide the information for protection of existing trees. • Please coordinate road improvement efforts with the engineers for the Lighthouse Cove project as they are also doing road improvements to Dixie Highway. Comments by Scott D.Ladd,Director of Community Development: • Need a clean copy of the detail (elevation) of poles and light fixtures for site lighting, height, color, etc. (Concerns exist as to how light would be shielded from surrounding residential properties, i.e., Tequesta Oaks and the proposed Lighthouse Cove.) • The landscape plan provides no landscaping within the two employee and truck parking areas to the sides and rear of the proposed building. • Need a breakdown of native to non-native species on landscape plan minimum 60% native species required. • Please provide the side setback information for the site. This was not indicated on the site plan. • The proposed perimeter fences exceed the allowable height limit as set forth in Village codes. The maximum height allowed is 6' the proposed fences are at 12' along the Tequesta Oaks west property line and 8' at other fenced areas. The site plan indicates chainlink, but sheets A1.01 &A5.01 indicate CBS walls. The Village would prefer CBS walls. • The plans do not indicate what the finish floor elevation will be. The Village, in conjunction with FEMA/CRS requirements for the Village, require a minimum finish floor elevation of 8.5' M.S.L. and a minimum of 18" above the crown of the road. Please provide more information. • Issues regarding platting need to resolved, as to whether or not this project is to be platted. Comments by Jim Weinand,Fire Chief: • Fire protection system plans were not provided, more information regarding these plans need to be provided. • The required fire flow is 200,000 gallons per minute. • Two fire hydrants are required, one in the front of the building and one in the rear with a required fire flow of 200,000 gallons per minute. • The rear access issue needs to be resolved, more information as to what type of arrangement or agreement to be made with the Village needs to be provided. Comments by Sergeant Riccardi at the direction of Steve Allison,Police Chief: • The site lighting plan and the landscaping plan are conflicting. There are trees and shrubs where there is to be exterior lighting. The plans need to be corrected. • The rear access issue needs to be resolved, more information as to what type of arrangement or agreement to be made with the Village needs to be provided. • The type of lighting for the site lighting plan needs to be clarified. • Page 3 July 15, 1998 Comments on Proposed Tequesta Post Office Comments by Al Oslund,Stormwater Utility Coordinator: • No comments. Comments by Tom Hall,Director of Water: • Issues regarding the rear easement, which is to be dedicated by a separate party, need to be resolved. This easement is to be 12' allowing for access to a water main. • There needs to be two hydrant locations, one in the front of the building and one in the rear. • Issues regarding the service for the irrigation system need to be resolved. If the irrigation system is to be on a well, a permit from South Florida Water Management District needs to be provided. City water may also be used on site,provisions for said need to be arranged. Staff Recommendation: This proposed new postal facility review is coming to us as a"courtesy review". This is due to a recent court action that, in effect, provides immunity for the U.S. Postal Service form having to comply with a municipality's review process,zoning regulations, etc. The new postal facility does meet the intent of the Village's adopted Comprehensive Plan even though certain zoning regulations are not fully.complied with. In a spirit of cooperation and to make this project a viable project for Tequesta, Staff recommends approval.
