 FROM THE DATE OF THESE COMMENTS (BY JANUARY 12, 2015),
 THE CASE SHALL BE CONSIDERED WITHDRAWN. ANY FURTHER
 ACTION SHALL REQUIRE A NEW DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION.
  
 - PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL BE PERMITTED ONE (1)
 ADDITIONAL RESUBMITTAL AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. IF
 PREVIOUSLY-ISSUED COMMENTS CONTINUE TO NOT BE
 SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED, THE APPLICANT WILL BE ACCESSED
 A RESUBMITTAL FEE. SUCH FEE WILL BE 20% OF THE ORIGINAL
 APPLICATION FEE ($60).
  
 1) REPEAT COMMENT: THE MINOR AMENDMENT (MA) AND THE
 BUILDING PERMIT (BP) HAVE DIFFERENT SQUARE FOOTAGES FOR
 THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS WITHIN THE HOTEL LISTED BELOW. THE
 PLANS SHALL MATCH. IF THE MA IS CORRECT, THEN A
 REVISION IS REQUIRED FOR THE BP PLANS.
  
 A. OPEN SPACE PROVIDED: HOTEL SITE: MA - 29,451 SQ. FT.
 BP - 33,250 SQ. FT.
 B. PUBLIC AREA PARKING SQ. FT.: MA - 40,451 SQ. FT. BP
 42,024 SQ. FT.
 C. PARKING PROVIDED: MA - 447 SPACES BP - 420 SPACES
  
 2) CONDITION OF APPROVAL: PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS
 (PREFERABLY INCLUDING GARAGE EXAMPLE PHOTOS) OF THE
 CABLE GUARDRAILS WITH FABRIC SCREEN. THE CABLE
 GUARDRAILS WITH FABRIC SCREEN SHALL PROVIDE EQUAL OR
 BETTER SHIELDING OF THE CAR HEADLIGHTS THAN A MASONRY
 WALL.
  
 3) THE REMOVAL OF A BENCH ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE
 GARAGE HAS SATISFIED THE PASSING ZONE REQUIREMENT.
 PLEASE REMOVE THE OTHER BENCH (AND TRASH CAN) FROM THE
 PLANS AS WELL. THESE DO NOT SERVE A PURPOSE AS THIS
 WILL NOT BE A HIGH PEDESTRIAN AREA SINCE IT IS ONLY A
 THREE (3) FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK AND THE SIDEWALK HAS NO
 DESTINATION. ADDITIONALLY, IF SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE
 BENCH, THEIR LEGS HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF BLOCKING THE
 SIDEWALK.
  
 4) CONDITION OF APPROVAL: AS PART OF THE GARAGE
 BUILDING PERMIT, PROVIDE DETAILS (PREFERABLY INCLUDING
 GARAGE EXAMPLE PHOTOS) OF THE CABLE GUARDRAILS WITH
 FABRIC SCREEN. THE CABLE GUARDRAILS WITH FABRIC SCREEN
 SHALL PROVIDE EQUAL OR BETTER SHIELDING OF THE CAR
 HEADLIGHTS THAN A MASONRY WALL. IF THE CABLE GUARDRAILS
 WITH FABRIC SCREENS ARE NOT APPROVED AS PART OF THE
 BUILDING PERMIT, THEN THE WALLS SHALL BE A SOLID
 MASONRY MATERIAL.
  
 5) CONDITION OF APPROVAL: STAFF HAS REEVALUATED THE
 LOCATION OF THE BICYCLE RACKS LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST
 CORNER OF THE GARAGE. SINCE THESE BICYCLE RACKS WILL
 MOST LIKELY BE USED BY EMPLOYEES, THESE SHALL BE PLACED
 INSIDE THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE GARAGE (ADJACENT TO
 VALET SPACE 41, ORIENTED THE SAME DIRECTION AS PARKING
 SPACE 41). THIS WILL PROVIDE SPACES THAT ARE COVERED
 FROM THE ELEMENTS, IN LINE WITH THE DOWNTOWN MASTER
 PLAN STANDARDS.
  
 SPECIAL EVENT VALET PARKING
  
 6) REVISED COMMENT: WHEEL STOPS ARE REQUIRED TO PROTECT
 THE BUILDING, INCLUDING THE CANOPY SUPPORT POSTS, AND
 MECHANICAL SYSTEMS SUCH AS DRAIN PIPES, AND ARE NOT
 REQUIRED TO SEPARATE THE HEAD TO HEAD PARKING SPACES.
 THE REVISED PLAN SHOWS ALL THE WHEEL STOPS REMOVED,
 INCLUDING THE ONES REQUIRED TO PROTECT THE BUILDING,
 INCLUDING THE CANOPY SUPPORT POSTS, AND MECHANICAL
 SYSTEMS, WHICH IS NOT PERMITTED.
  
 7) REPEAT COMMENT: THE PROPOSED LAYOUT OF THE PARKING
 SPACES CAUSES MULTIPLE UNUSABLE SPACES. STAFF HAS
 LISTED EXAMPLES BELOW. THE COMPLETE LAYOUT SHALL BE
 REVIEWED TO VERIFY NO PROBLEMS. STAFF WILL NOT SUPPORT
 THE LOCATIONS THAT REQUIRE MORE THAN TWO CARS TO BE
 MOVED TO RETRIEVE THE PARKED CAR. THERE ARE SPACES ON
 THE SECOND FLOOR THAT REQUIRE AS MANY AS SIX CARS TO BE
 MOVED TO REACH THE OBJECT CAR. THESE "MOVED" CARS WILL
 THEN IMPEDE THE RETRIEVAL OF OTHER CARS.
  
 A. PARKING SPACES 602-610 AND 613-615 DO NOT FUNCTION
 AS THEY ARE BLOCKED ON EITHER END BY THE CANOPY SUPPORT
 POSTS.
  
 B. THE PARALLEL SPACES AT THE END OF EACH ROW LOOK VERY
 DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK IN.
  
 LIGHTING
  
 8) REPEAT COMMENT: THE SIDEWALK ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF
 THE HOTEL IS BEING REMOVED AND RECONSTRUCTED AS PART OF
 THE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT. AS PART OF THE RECONSTRUCTION OF
 THE SIDEWALK AND INSTALLATION LANDSCAPE, THE EXISTING
 LIGHT POLES SHALL BE REPLACED IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE
 LIGHT POLES APPROVED AS PART OF THIS MINOR AMENDMENT
 FOR THE BALANCE OF THE HOTEL DEVELOPMENT.
  
 9) CONDITION: AS PART OF THE GARAGE BUILDING PERMIT,
 PROVIDE DETAILS FOR THE FIXTURES MOUNTED TO THE
 UNDERSIDE OF THE CANOPY TENTS. THE FIXTURES MOUNTED TO
 THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CANOPY TENTS SHALL INCLUDE A

 CONVENTION CENTER HOTEL AND GARAGE MINOR AMENDMENT
 600 OKEECHOBEE BLVD. AND 900 FLORIDA AVE.
  
 - CONTACT ERIC SCHNEIDER @ (561) 822-1446
  
 - PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN
 WRITTEN FORMAT.
  
 - WHEN RESUBMITTING, PLEASE PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF FIVE
 (5) PAPER COPIES AND AN ELECTRONIC COPY IN .PDF FORMAT
 OF ALL PLANS. PLEASE NOTE THAT CHANGES ON THE
 RESUBMITTED PLANS OR THE SUBMITTAL OF INFORMATION/PLANS
 TO ADDRESS THE COMMENTS MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL
 COMMENTS.
  
 - PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THE PLANNING DIVISION HAS NOT
 RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO THE PPRC COMMENTS WITHIN 60 DAYS
 FROM THE DATE OF THESE COMMENTS (BY OCTOBER 7, 2014),
 THE CASE SHALL BE CONSIDERED WITHDRAWN. ANY FURTHER
 ACTION SHALL REQUIRE A NEW DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION.
  
 - PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL BE PERMITTED ONE (1)
 RESUBMITTAL AT NO ADDITIONAL COST. IF PREVIOUSLY-ISSUED
 COMMENTS CONTINUE TO NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED, THE
 APPLICANT WILL BE ACCESSED A RESUBMITTAL FEE. SUCH FEE
 WILL BE 20% OF THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION FEE ($60).
  
 1) THE MINOR AMENDMENT AND THE BUILDING PERMIT HAVE
 DIFFERENT SQUARE FOOTAGES FOR THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS
 WITHIN THE HOTEL LISTED BELOW. THE PLANS SHALL MATCH.
  
 2) THE PLANS INDICATE A VEHICLE ACCESS TO THE BALLROOM
 ENTRANCE, INCLUDING A MODIFICATION TO THE CURB. PLEASE
 DESCRIBE WHAT THIS IS FOR AND HOW IT WILL OPERATE (EX.
 WILL TRUCKS DRIVE UP THE CURB AND BLOCK THE SIDEWALK
 WHILE UNLOADING)?
  
 3) THE HOTEL SOUTH ELEVATION DRAWINGS SHOW GROUND COVER
 AND TREES THAT DO NOT EXIST ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN.
 PLEASE PROVIDE ELEVATION DRAWINGS WITH THE VEGETATION
 LAYER TURNED OFF.
  
 4) VERIFY THAT THE GATES IN THE GARAGE ARE CONFIGURED
 TO OPERATE FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
 CITY COMMISSION APPROVAL. THE GATE PLACEMENT IN
 RELATIONSHIP TO THE RF ID READERS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT
 ALLOWS REVERSE TRAFFIC FLOW.
  
 5) ADD A NOTE TO THE GARAGE PLANS STATING THAT A SIGN
 WILL BE INSTALLED AT THE RAMP UP TO THE SECOND LEVEL TO
 NOTIFY HC DRIVERS THAT NO ADA PARKING IS AVAILABLE PAST
 THAT POINT.
  
 6) THE NORTH AND EAST ELEVATIONS OF THE GARAGE SHOW A
 LOW WALL IN FRONT OF THE EASTERNMOST ADA ENTRY TO THE
 GARAGE THAT IS NOT SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN, THE CIVIL
 PLAN, THE LANDSCAPE PLAN OR THE HARDSCAPE PLAN. WHY IS
 THE WALL HERE? IT APPEARS TO BE IN THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER
 AND SERVING NO PURPOSE. AS SHOWN, THIS PRESENTS AN AREA
 THAT DOES NOT HAVE NATURAL SURVEILLANCE.
  
 7) PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS (PREFERABLY INCLUDING GARAGE
 EXAMPLE PHOTOS) OF THE CABLE GUARDRAILS WITH FABRIC
 SCREEN.
  
 8) PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THE CABLE GUARDRAILS WITH FABRIC
 SCREEN WILL PROVIDE A BETTER SHIELDING OF THE CAR
 HEADLIGHTS THAN A MASONRY WALL.
  
 9) THE SIDEWALK LOCATED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE GARAGE
 IS ONLY 36 INCHES WIDE, WHICH REQUIRES PASSING ZONES
 FOR HANDICAP PEDESTRIANS. IF ONLY ONE PASSING ZONE IS
 REQUIRED, THEN REMOVE THE BENCHES AND USE THAT AREA AS
 A PASSING ZONE. PROVIDE THE DIMENSION OF THE PASSING
 ZONE TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE WITH THE ADA MINIMUM
 REQUIREMENTS.
  
 SPECIAL EVENT VALET PARKING
 10) THE PARKING SPACES FOR NORMAL OPERATIONS IN THE
 CENTER OF LEVEL 2 INCLUDE WHEEL STOPS FOR THE PARKING
 SPACES. THE SPECIAL EVENT LAYOUT SHOWS PARKING SPACES
 WHERE THE WHEEL STOPS ARE. PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS WILL
 FUNCTION, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE WHEEL STOPS BEING
 ATTACHED TO THE GARAGE ON REBAR POSTS WITH EPOXY TO THE
 DECK. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THE WHEEL STOPS ARE TO BE
 REMOVED, A LOCATION OF SUFFICIENT SIZE WILL NEED TO BE
 DESIGNATED FOR THEIR STORAGE AND A POST EVENT
 REPLACEMENT PLAN IS REQUIRED. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHEEL
 STOPS ARE ONLY NEEDED TO PROTECT THE BUILDING,
 INCLUDING THE CANOPY SUPPORT POSTS, AND MECHANICAL
 SYSTEMS SUCH AS DRAIN PIPES, AND ARE NOT REQUIRED TO
 SEPARATE THE HEAD TO HEAD PARKING SPACES.
  
 11) THE PROPOSED LAYOUT OF THE PARKING SPACES CAUSE
 MULTIPLE UNUSABLE SPACES. STAFF HAS LISTED EXAMPLES
 BELOW. THE COMPLETE LAYOUT SHALL BE REVIEWED TO VERIFY
 NO PROBLEMS.
  
 A. SPACE 289 ENCROACHES INTO THE REQUIRED 24 FOOT WIDE
 DRIVE AISLE BEHIND ADA SPACE 245 AND THUS SHALL BE
 REMOVED.
  
 B. PARKING SPACES 602-610 AND 613-615 DO NOT FUNCTION
 AS THEY ARE BLOCKED ON EITHER END BY THE CANOPY SUPPORT
 POSTS.
  
 C. THE PARALLEL SPACES AT THE END OF EACH ROW LOOK VERY
 DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK IN.
  
 LIGHTING
  
 12) LIGHT POLES SHALL BE A UNIFORM 17 FEET ABOVE GRADE
 AT THE CENTER OF THE LIGHT SOURCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
 THE CITY'S DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE REQUIREMENTS. THIS IS
 THE HEIGHT OF THE DECORATIVE STREET LIGHTING IN THE
 REST OF CITYPLACE.
  
 13) THE ELEVATION DETAIL FOR LIGHT ELA DOES NOT MATCH
 THE DETAILS PROVIDED FOR THAT LIGHT ON THE
 MANUFACTURER'S WEBSITE. THE WEBSITE SHOWS THE FIXTURE
 AS 19 INCHES TALL WHILE THE ELEVATION DETAIL SHOWS THE
 FIXTURE AS 38 INCHES TALL. PLEASE RECTIFY THIS
 DISCREPANCY AS WELL AS CORRECT THE POLE HEIGHT IN
 ACCORDANCE WITH COMMENT 12, ABOVE. ALTERNATIVELY
 PROVIDE THE SAME LIGHTS AND POLES THAT ARE USED IN
 CITYPLACE.
  
 14) THE ELA LIGHTS ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE GARAGE
 ARE SHOWN IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. IS THIS INTENDED? A
 RIGHT-OF-WAY PERMIT IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE
 INSTALLATION.
  
 15) THE ELEVATION DETAIL FOR LIGHT ELH DOES NOT MATCH
 THE DETAILS PROVIDED FOR THAT LIGHT ON THE
 MANUFACTURER?S WEBSITE. THE WEBSITE SHOWS THE FIXTURE
 AS 42 INCHES TALL. THIS SHALL BE REFLECTED ON THE
 DETAILS.
  
 16) THE SIDEWALK ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HOTEL IS
 BEING REMOVED AND RECONSTRUCTED AS PART OF THE HOTEL
 DEVELOPMENT. AS PART OF THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE
 SIDEWALK AND INSTALLATION LANDSCAPE, THE EXISTING LIGHT
 POLES SHALL BE REPLACED IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE LIGHT
 POLES APPROVED AS PART OF THIS MINOR AMENDMENT.
  
 17) THE CITYPLACE DRI REQUIRES THAT ENERGY EFFICIENT
 LIGHTING BE INSTALLED. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED THROUGH
 THE USE OF THE PROPOSED LED FIXTURES FOR THE EXTERNAL
 LIGHTING. HOWEVER; THE GARAGE IS USING FLORESCENT
 TUBES, WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY THAT
 LED LAMPS DO. WHY ARE LEDS NOT BEING USED IN THE
 GARAGE?
  
 18) HOW WILL THE FIXTURES BE MOUNTED TO THE UNDERSIDE
 OF THE CANOPY TENTS? PLEASE PROVIDE A CROSS SECTION.
 THE CROSS SECTION SHALL INCLUDE THE METHOD TO KEEP
 LIGHT GLARE FROM SPILLING ONTO THE ADJACENT
 RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RESIDENTIAL
 TOWER.
