| | PLEASE PROVIDE WRITTEN RESPONSE TO COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1) THE BUILDING APPEARS TO BE TALLER THAN THE 110 FEET |
| | PERMITTED BY THE TRADITIONS PHASE II APPROVALS |
| | (ORIGINALLY ORD. NO. 4110-08, CURRENT RES. NO. 49-13). |
| | THE WEST PALM BEACH ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT |
| | REGULATIONS STATE, "...THE HEIGHT SHALL BE MEASURED AS |
| | THE VERTICAL DISTANCE FROM THE AVERAGE ELEVATION OF THE |
| | FINISHED GRADE OF THE BUILDING TO THE HIGHEST POINT OF |
| | THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURE OF A FLAT ROOF...". SECTION |
| | 94-306 ALLOWS CERTAIN HEIGHT EXCEPTIONS AS FOLLOWS: |
| | "HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT; |
| | CHURCH STEEPLES, BELL TOWERS, FLAG POLES, CHIMNEYS, |
| | PARAPETS, STAIR ENCLOSURES, TANKS, DECORATIVE FEATURES, |
| | ELEVATOR HOISTWAYS OR EQUIPMENT, TELEVISION OR RADIO |
| | ANTENNAS, AND RELATED MECHANICAL OR FUNCTIONAL FEATURES |
| | MAY EXCEED DISTRICT HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS BY TEN |
| | PERCENT." THE ELEVATION DRAWINGS SHALL BE AMENDED TO |
| | INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING DIMENSION LINES: |
| | |
| | A. THE BASE MEASURE SHALL BE FROM THE AVERAGE ELEVATION |
| | OF THE FINISHED GRADE OF THE BUILDING. IT APPEARS THAT |
| | THE ELEVATIONS PROVIDED ARE USING FINISHED FLOOR OR TOP |
| | OF THE SLAB. THE STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS INDICATE THAT THE |
| | FOUR (4) INCH SLAB IS ON GRADE, NOT AT GRADE, WHICH |
| | WOULD MAKE IT FOUR (4) INCHES HIGHER THAN THE AVERAGE |
| | ELEVATION OF THE FINISHED GRADE (THIS IS ALSO INDICATED |
| | ON THE BUILDING SECTION DRAWINGS). PLEASE CLARIFY. |
| | B. EXTEND THE DIMENSION LINE TO THE HIGHEST POINT OF |
| | THE BUILDING. STAFF HAS SCALED THE DRAWING AND IT |
| | APPEARS THAT THE HIGHEST POINTS ON THE BUILDING ARE 123 |
| | FEET. SECTION 94-306 ALLOWS THE HEIGHT EXCEPTION FOR |
| | THIS BUILDING TO EXTEND TO 121 FEET (HEIGHT WAIVER TO |
| | 110 FEET X 10% = 11 FEET ADDITIONAL HEIGHT EXCEPTION). |
| | |
| | 2) PLEASE CLARIFY IF THE RETAINING WALL IS INCLUDED AS |
| | PART OF THIS PERMIT. THE SITE AND CIVIL PLANS SHOW THE |
| | MAJORITY OF THE RETAINING WALL AREA AS PART OF THIS |
| | PERMIT. THE FOUNDATION PLAN SHOWS MOST OF THE WALL NOT |
| | INCLUDED. PRESUMABLY THE BALANCE OF THE RETAINING WALL |
| | WOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE DINING ROOM PERMIT. WHY |
| | SPLIT UP THE RETAINING WALL AND NOT BUILD IT UNDER ITS |
| | OWN PERMIT? |
| | |
| | 3) THE NEW RETAINING WALL IS SHOWN IN DIFFERENT |
| | LOCATIONS ON THE PLANS LISTED BELOW. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY |
| | DIFFERING WALL LOCATIONS ARE SHOWN. |
| | |
| | COTLEUR & HEARING PLANS |
| | MICHAEL B. SCHORAH & ASSOCIATES, INC. PLANS |
| | ONM&J PARTIAL FOUNDATION PLANS |
| | PERKINS EASTMAN ARCHITECTURAL PLANS |
| | |
| | 4) THE LANDSCAPE PLANS CALL FOR LITTORAL PLANTING TO |
| | THE WEST OF THE OVERLOOK PORTION OF THE RETAINING WALL. |
| | PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS WILL OCCUR GIVEN THE DEPTH AND |
| | SLOPE THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. |
| | |
| | 5) THE SITE PLANS SHOW A DIFFERENT ORIENTATION FOR THE |
| | BICYCLE RACK AND AREA BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS THAN THE |
| | APPROVED PLANS. THE CHANGES SHALL BE REFLECTED ON A |
| | MINOR PD AMENDMENT. PLEASE NOTE THAT MORSELIFE |
| | CURRENTLY HAS ONE UNDER REVIEW THAT COULD BE MODIFIED |
| | TO INCLUDE THE CHANGES. |
| | |
| | 6) SHEET G101 SHOWS NOTE REFERENCING A 17 FOOT CLEAR |
| | FIRE TRUCK ACCESS ROAD (SOUTH OF POOL WALL). THE |
| | APPROVED SITE PLAN SHOWS THIS AS A 20 FOOT WIDE |
| | DRIVEWAY. PLEASE CORRECT SHEET G101. THIS CHANGE IS |
| | ALSO SHOWN ON SHEET L101 |
| | |
| | 7) SHEET C101 SHOWS THE 20 FOOT FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS |
| | DRIVE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDINGS AS NOT INCLUDED |
| | WITH THE CONSTRUCTION THE INITIAL TOWER. THIS WAS A |
| | REQUIREMENT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SERVICE THE |
| | BUILDING AND THUS SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR PHASE 1. |
| | |
| | 8) THE PARKING LOT, CONSTRUCTION ACCESS ROADWAY AND |
| | DRIVE, IRRIGATION, LANDSCAPING, SITE LIGHTING, |
| | GENERATOR BUILDING, BICYCLE RACKS, COMPACTOR ENCLOSURE, |
| | COOLING TOWER AREA, AND FENCES/GATES REQUIRE SEPARATE |
| | PERMIT SUBMITTALS, WITH PLANS. PLEASE DO NOT RESUBMIT |
| | THESE SHEETS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ROW OR PARKING TO |
| | THE NORTH OF THE 20 FOOT FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS AREA |
| | SHALL BE TERMINATED BY THE REQUIRED TREE IN PHASE 1. |
| | |
| | 9) TREE ALTERATION PERMIT IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE |
| | APPROVAL OF THE TEMPORARY ACCESS DRIVE TREE REMOVAL. |
| | |
| | 10) NOTE: THE FUTURE TRACT LINE DOES NOT MATCH UP WITH |
| | THE DOORWAY AS SHOWN ON SHEET L101. THE FUTURE TRACT |
| | LINE SHALL NOT CUT THROUGH THE CORRIDOR AT AN |
| | UNPROTECTED POINT. |
| | |
| | 11) PLEASE REMEMBER THE DEADLINE FOR THE PLAT APPROVAL |
| | APPROVED BY ROBERT BROWN, BUILDING OFFICIAL. |
| | |
| | 12) PLEASE NOTE THAT THE TRADITIONS PHASE II SHALL HAVE |
| | MET THE COMMENCEMENT OF DEVELOPMENT DATE OF NOVEMBER 3, |
| | 2015, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS FINAL EXTENSION. |
