| | DENIED BY BUILDING |
| | PLEASE ADDRESS THE ITEMS NOTED BELOW: |
| | |
| | 1) IT APPEARS FROM THE SITE PLAN AND THE PALM BEACH |
| | COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER WEBSITE THAT THE PROJECT |
| | COVERS TWO LOTS. A UNITY OF TITLE IS REQUIRED: |
| | HTTP://WPB.ORG/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/SITES/7/2012/05/2011- |
| | 11-14-16-09-54-APPLICATIONFORUNITYOFTITLE.PDF |
| | |
| | 2) PENDING LOMR. THE ELEVATION OF THE LOWEST FINISHED |
| | FLOOR OF THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE DOES NOT |
| | MEET THE REQUIRED BFE AND 2" FREE-BOARD REQUIREMENTS OF |
| | THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH'S FLOOD ORDINANCE FOR NEW |
| | STRUCTURES. NOT COMPLIED. PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING ARE |
| | LOCATED IN A SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA. THE ELEVATIONS |
| | FOR THE PROJECT ARE IN NGVD 88. AS OF OCTOBER 5TH, 2017 |
| | THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH HAS ADOPTED NEW FLOOD |
| | INSURANCE RATE MAPS WHICH USE NAVD 88 AS THE VERTICAL |
| | DATUM. THE CITY ALSO ADOPTED A 2' FREEBOARD WHICH |
| | REQUIRES THE FINISH FLOOR AND EQUIPMENT TO BE A MINIMUM |
| | OF TWO FEET ABOVE THE BFE. IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY |
| | CONFUSION PLEASE REVISE THE PLANS TO SHOW ONLY THE |
| | CURRENT FLOOD ELEVATION DATA (NAVD 88). ELEVATION |
| | CERTIFICATES WILL BE REQUIRED TO SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | THE CITY'S FLOOD POLICY. THE CITY REQUIRES THREE |
| | ELEVATION CERTIFICATES. FIRST, A PRECONSTRUCTION ELEV. |
| | CERT. BASED ON THE CONSTRUCTION DRAWING. SECOND, A |
| | CONSTRUCTION ELEV. CERT. BASED ON THE LOWEST FLOOR |
| | FORMS. THIRD A FINAL ELEV. CERT. BASED ON THE FINISHED |
| | BUILDING. THE CITY'S FLOOD ORDINANCE ARTICLE XVII - |
| | FLOOD PREVENTION AND CONTROL SEC. 94-546 - PROVISIONS |
| | FOR FLOOD HAZARD REDUCTION. |

| | ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS/EPA TO FILL IN THE 9,610 SQFT |
| | OF SUBMERGED LAND SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 4) THE PROPOSED "DECLARATION" INDICATED IN THE |
| | "TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION ACCESS EASEMENT AGREEMENT" DOES |
| | NOT ADEQUATELY RESOLVE THE ISSUE OF MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE |
| | AREA OF OPENINGS BASED ON FIRE SEPARATION DISTANCE AND |
| | DEGREE OF OPENING PROTECTION REQUIRED BY FBC TABLE |
| | 705.8. SINCE THE ADJACENT PROPERTY IS NOT UNDER THE |
| | CONTROL OF THE BUILDING OWNER, A RESTRICTIVE COVENT OR |
| | SOME OTHER LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT WILL PREVENT THE |
| | ADJACENT LANDOWNER FROM AMENDING THE EASEMENT SO THAT |
| | THE REQUIRED CLEARANCES ARE MAINTAINED FOR THE LIFE OF |
| | THE BUILDING. NOT COMPLIED. THE PROPERTY TO THE SOUTH |
| | WHERE THE PROPOSED PERMANENT ROADWAY WILL IS NOT UNDER |
| | THE CONTROL OF THIS LANDOWNER. SOME TYPE OF |
| | DOCUMENTATION OF AN EASEMENT OR DEED RESTRICTION |
| | STATING THAT THERE WILL BE A ROADWAY AT THIS LOCATION |
| | IN PERPETUITY WILL NEED TO BE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW. THE |
| | SOUTH WALL OF THE BUILDING (RESIDENTIAL TOWER AND |
| | PARKING GARAGE) APPEARS TO BE 10 TO 15 FEET FROM THE |
| | PROPERTY LINE AND BASED ON FBC TABLE 705.8 IS LIMITED |
| | TO AN ALLOWABLE AREA 45% OF THE EXTERIOR WALL AREA PER |
| | STORY. SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH FBC 705.8 & TABLE 705.8. |

| | PREVENTION CODE AND ACCESSIBILITY CODE ARE SPECIFIED |

| | EDITIONS OF THOSE CODE. FBC CHAPTER 35. |
| | |
| | 6) TWO OF THE EXIT ACCESS STAIRWAYS AND TWO OF THE |
| | GARAGE EMERGENCY EXITS DISCHARGE ONTO THE POOL DECK. BE |
| | AWARE OF THE POOL BARRIER REQUIREMENTS OF FBC |
| | 454.1.3.1.9. |

| | LESS THAN 3,500 LBS. |

| | LEVEL 01, DOORS ARE SHOWN FOR THE RESIDENTIAL ACTIVE |
| | USE ROOMS AND THE BIKE PARKING ROOM THAT OPEN DIRRECTLY |

| | GARAGE AND LEVEL 07 OF THE BUILDING IS SHOWN AS 9'-8". |
| | THESE TWO STRUCTURES ARE DIFFERENT OCCUPANCY TYPES AND |
| | HAVE A FIRE WALL SEPARATING THEM. BECAUSE THE SIXTH |
| | LEVEL OF THE GARAGE IS OPEN ABOVE THERE IS A |
| | POSSIBILITY THAT A CAR FIRE COULD SPREAD TO THE |
