3. BACKGROUND
The Applicant is requesting a modification of a previously approved special exception by constructing a
1,997 square foot addition to the existing school which includes two (2) resource rooms, two (2)
offices, a storage room, a rest room, and mechanical rooms. The application includes a proposed
landscape plan.
The existing elementary school (K-5` grade) located at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church site was
approved as a Special Exception Use in 1996. As part of the 1997 Development Agreement, Good
Shepherd Episcopal Church agreed to construct an eight foot high masonry wall on the East side of
proposed new school building. The intent was to screen the landscaped courtyard, while also
minimizing any noise that might affect the adjacent properties. As presented in the attached photos,
the masonry wall is part of the existing conditions of the site. Also, the photos indicate current location
of playground area, and proximity to residential neighborhood and commercial development.
The current school capacity approved by the State of Florida is 169 students. The following table

Section 78-361 of the Village Code states that certain uses because their unique characteristics can not
be classified or regulated in a particular zoning district without consideration in each case of the impact
of such uses upon neighboring uses and the surrounding area, compared with the public need for them
at particular locations. Such uses and features are treated as special exceptions, and the application
needs to comply with a set of criteria and standards.
CRITERIA FOR GRANTING SPECIAL EXCEPTION
Per Section 78-362 of the Village Code, Special Exception Use shall be permitted only upon
authorization of the Village Council provided that such uses comply with the following requirements:
1. The proposed use is a permitted special exception use.

Dwelling district.
2. The use is so designated, located and proposed to be operated so that the public health, safety,
welfare and morals will be protected.

OWNER'S (ARCHITECT STERGAS & ASSOCIATES) STATEMENT OF REQUEST FOR SPECIAL EXCEPTION
USE FOR A PROPOSED SMALL RESOURCE AND SUPPORT ROOMS ADDITION TO EXISTING GOOD
SHEPHERD SCHOOL AND CHURCH
5/24/2011 (revised)
Good Shepherd Episcopal School is a K- 5` grade private school with a current student capacity of
169 students. As the only Elementary school in the Village, Good Shepherd is the only provider for a
'close to home' school option for children of village residents. Currently, some 40% of the student
population is village residents. Good Shepherd is requesting a 1,997 square foot addition to the
existing school to house two resource rooms, two offices, and support space.
In the school's current configuration the Art, Music (integral parts of their curriculum), Science Lab
and Computer Lab share two Resource Rooms. Currently in order to accommodate these four
functions, the existing two Resource Rooms have to be constantly broken down and set back up.
The proposed addition with two additional Resource Rooms, will allow the school to have a
dedicated room for each of the four curriculum activities requiring resource rooms.
Similarly, the Financial administrative staff person shares the small Librarian's office, and the
Director of Admissions shares a corner in the dual use Computer/Music Resource Room. The two
offices in the proposed addition will allow these current faculty members to have dedicated offices
to meet with students and parents of students and prospective parents.
The other miscellaneous/support spaces in the proposed addition serve the function of providing a
local toilet facility at the addition, and to house mechanical and storage functions.
As stated above, the proposed addition will not add any students or staff, nor will it affect the
School's current operation hours which are: 1) 8:10am-8:20am start, 2) Early Learning dismissal at
11:30am, 3) Pre-School dismissal at 2:10pm, and 4) Elementary School tiered dismissal with 1 tier
dismissal at 2:55pm and 2" tier dismissal at 3:05pm.

S) Adequate landscaping and screening is provided as required by this chapter.
We will be providing additional landscape to buffer the small addition, along with existing mature
trees and vegetation being relocated, which will not only maintain the established look and feel, but
will in fact add to it. As well, Good Shepherd School is going to upgrade (fill in missing shrubs) the
existing hedge along the south property line as part of this Special Exception approval.
page l of 2
6) Adequate off-street parking and loading is provided and ingress and egress is so designed as to
cause minimum interference with traffic on abutting streets.
Section 78-705, subsection (28)(b) requires additional parking spaces for the proposed addition,
thus Good Shepherd obtained a variance for the parking based on non-concurrent/non-cumulative
parking between the School and the Church.
Additionally, to effectuate efficient student pick-up in the afternoons, Good Shepherd School has
staggered release times, which includes a recent reinitiation of tiered elementary school pickup. The
pickup times are: Early Learning dismissal at 11:30, Pre-School dismissal at 2:10, and the tiered
Elementary School dismissal with 1 tier at 2:55 and 2" tier at 3:05. Further, should enrollment
increase above 150 students, a 3� tier dismissal of 3:15 will be implemented.
7) The use conforms with all applicable regulations governing the district where located, except as
may otherwise be determined for planned developments.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the design of the proposed School small Resource and
Support Rooms addition complies with all of the applicable regulations governing R-1 district.

OWNER's (ARCHITECT STERGAS & ASSOCIATES) RESPONSE TO SECTION 78-363 CRITERIA
5/24/2011 (revised)
1) Compliance with all elements of the village comprehensive plan.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the proposed small Resource and Support Rooms addition
complies with all elements of the Village comprehensive plan.
2) Ingress and egress to property and proposed structures thereon with particular reference to
automotive and pedestrian safety and convenience, traffic flow and control, and access in case
of fire or catastrophe.
As the proposed School small Resource and Support Rooms addition is in the existing rear courtyard
and is connected integral with the existing school, there will be no impact on automotive and
pedestrian safety and convenience, and no impact on traffic flow and control, and will provide code
required access in case of fire or catastrophe.
Additionally, to effectuate efficient student pick-up in the afternoons, Good Shepherd School has
staggered release times, which includes a recent reinitiation of tiered elementary school pickup. The
pickup times are: Early Learning dismissal at 11:30, Pre-School dismissal at 2:10, and the tiered
Elementary School dismissal with 1 tier at 2:55 and 2" tier at 3:05. Further, should enrollment
increase above 150 students, a 3` tier dismissal of 3:15 will be implemented.
3) Off-street parking and loading area, where required, with particular attention to the items in
subsection (2J of this section.
Section 78-705, subsection (28)(b) requires additional parking spaces for the proposed addition,
thus Good Shepherd obtained a variance to add no parking based on non-concurrent/non-
cumulative parking between the School and the Church.
4) Refuse and service areas, with particular reference to subsection (2J and (3) of this section.
As the proposed School small Resource and Support Rooms addition adds no students, faculty, or
functions there will be no appreciable increase in refuse, and thus no effect with existing refuse and
service areas. And likewise the proposed addition triggers no code increase requirements.
5) Nuisance factors detrimental to adjacent and nearby properties and the village as a whole.
Nuisance factors shall include but not necessarily be limited to noise, odor, smoke, glare,
electrical interference and/or mechanical vibrations.
As the proposed School small Resource and Support Rooms addition is all interior space there will be
no additional outside noise added. Further the addition adds no students or faculty. Based on the
above no nuisance factors should be generated by this proposed addition.
page 1 of 3
6) Utilities, with reference to location, availability and compatibility.
As the proposed School small Resource and Support Rooms addition ties into the existing building
utilities in the immediate area of the addition, there will be no new utilities needed.
7) Screening and buffering, with reference to type, dimensions and character.
The site is established and thus contains a lot of mature vegetation, including in the courtyard area
where the proposed School small Resource and Support Rooms addition is located. This vegetation
includes two medium sized oak trees and some mature shrubs and plants; and these will be
relocated and additional landscaping is being added resulting in a net add of landscape . Also, there
is an existing 8'+ high wall at the rear of the courtyard, whose rear and the south side sections will
remain in total, and this will screen the bulk of the new 24' wide proposed addition; leaving only
some new roofline (which will match the existing) to be seen.
8) Signs and proposed exterior lighting, with reference to glare, traffic safety, economic effect and
compatibility and harmony with properties in the district.
No new exterior signage will be added. And new exterior lighting will be limited to soffit lighting and
building mounted wall packs with cut-off shields to control spill-over light onto the neighboring
properties.
9) Required yards and other open space.
The proposed School small Resource and Support Rooms addition to the existing school meets all
the setback criteria, which includes the 25' front setback, the 20' rear setback, and the 7.5' side
setbacks; having a front setback of 368+'to the front of the existing school, having a rear setback of
25+' to the back of the proposed addition, and having the closest side setback of 40' (at the south
side of the existing school). And the proposed 1,997 square foot addition will occupy some 1/100 of
the site and reduce the existing open space by less than 2%; and results in an open space that is 2
times what the code requires.
10) General compatibility with adjacent properties and other property in the district.
The proposed small Resource and Support Rooms addition to the existing school, is very much in
keeping with the existing school. Both the existing and the new have low roof lines and pitched
roofs which are in keeping with the primarily residential character of the surrounding properties in
the district.
page 2 of 3
11) Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the village.
The proposed small Resource and Support Rooms addition to the existing school, is very much in
keeping with the design style of the existing school with both having lower style roof lines and
pitched roofs, and as the narrow dimension of the addition (24') is what faces the perimeter, the
massing of the addition is smaller than the existing massing, and thus will help to reduce the scale of
the project to the exposures where it can be seen from adjacent properties.
12) Any special requirements set out in the schedule of site regulations in section 78-143 for the
particular use involved.
The project as submitted meets all the requirements of section 78-143 (Schedule of Site
Requirements).

Good Shepherd Episcopal School Expansion
Palm Beach County
Drainage Statement
The existing site of the Good Shepherd Episcopal School is located at 402 Seabrook
Road in Tequesta, Florida. The 3.91 acre parcel is currently developed with two parking
lots, a 12,500 SF church sanctuary, a 2,600 SF thrift shop, a 5,200 SF church office
building, a 4,700 parish hall, and a 13,622 SF school building. There is an expansion
proposed far the site that will include a 1,997 SF addition to the existing school building,
approximately 1,130 SF of additional sidewalk, and approximately 221 SF of covered
walkway. The proposed expansion will replace approximately 1140 SF of existing
covered patio area.
The existing stormwater management system is permitted under a 2004 South Florida
Water Management District No-Notice General Permit (Application Number 031118-17).
As part of this permit application, the existing stormwater management design was
certified to be in accardance with the Village of Tequesta's stormwater criteria far
retention of the runoff from the 3-year/24-hour starm event. Surface runoff from the site
and parking areas currently drains into the onsite drainage system and is routed to an
onsite dry detention pond, and ultimately discharges offsite through a control structure at
the northeast corner of the site.
No changes are proposed to the site drainage system or parking lot layout. The proposed
building expansion will add an additional 1,078 SF of roof area and an additional 1,130
SF of sidewalk to the site. Based on the calculated required and provided retention
capacity in permitted drainage calculations for the site, the existing stormwater
management system has sufficient capacity to retain the increased runoff from the
additional impervious development for the 3-year, 24-hour storm event without
negatively impacting the site. The total increase in impervious area on the site is less than
13% of the total site area. Therefore, no negative drainage impacts are anticipated as a
result of this proposed expansion.
