2015-03-24 18:32:33	PB 950QQQQ - 1ST RESUBMITTAL 2/25/15 - UPDATED COMMENTS
	PALM BEACH COUNTY CONVENTION CENTER GARAGE
	650 OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD

	- 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/THE PPRC MEETING (BY
	MAY 25, 2015), THE CASE SHALL BE CONSIDERED WITHDRAWN.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)
	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).

	GENERAL

	1) CONDITION: STAFF HAS SPOKEN WITH RELATED REGARDING
	THE AREA SOUTH OF THE HOTEL LOADING ZONE THAT IS
	CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED ON EITHER THE HOTEL SITE PLAN OR
	THIS SITE PLAN. RELATED HAS AGREED TO SUPPLY PLANS FOR
	THE MISSING PIECE ONCE THIS GARAGE APPLICATION IS
	APPROVED, SO THEY CAN INTEGRATE THEIR PLANS WITH THE
	APPROVED GARAGE DESIGN. RELATED HAS STATED THEY WILL
	CONSTRUCT THE LOADING AREA CHANGES IF THE GARAGE IS
	UNDER CONSTRUCTION BEFORE THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE HOTEL
	CONSTRUCTION. IF THE HOTEL IS COMPLETED AND THE GARAGE
	CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN, THE LOADING ZONE
	MODIFICATION CONSTRUCTION WILL BE BORNE BY THE COUNTY
	AS PART OF THE GARAGE CONSTRUCTION. THIS CONDITION WILL
	APPLY TO BOTH APPROVALS.

	2) REPEAT COMMENT: PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS ON HOW THE
	PROPOSED GARAGE COMPLIES WITH THE EXHIBIT D "ENERGY
	SAVING METHODS" OF THE CITYPLACE DRI. - THE RESPONSE
	SHALL LIST THE SPECIFIC ITEMS IN EXHIBIT D THAT WILL BE
	USED AND WHY OTHERS ARE NOT BEING IMPLEMENTED.

	SITE PLAN

	3) REVISED COMMENT: THE SITE DATA TABLE WAS UPDATED TO
	INCLUDE THE ENTIRE CONVENTION CENTER PARCEL. THE AMOUNT
	OF LANDSCAPE AREA APPROVED BY RES. NO. 44-99 WAS
	15.03%. THE PROPOSED OVERALL CONVENTION CENTER SITE
	ONLY HAS 13.6% LANDSCAPE. PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL
	LANDSCAPE AREA.

	4) REVISED COMMENT: PROVIDE A PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN
	THAT CONSOLIDATES THE APPLICANT RESPONSES INCLUDED WITH
	ITEMS 8 A THROUGH G IN ONE CENTRAL DOCUMENT THAT WILL
	BE INCLUDED WITH THE ULTIMATE APPROVAL LETTER. THE
	PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN SHALL INCLUDE REMEDIES IN THE
	EVENT THAT THE PLAN IS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN SAFELY AND
	EFFICIENTLY CIRCULATING VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THROUGH THE
	AREA. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CITY'S TRAFFIC ENGINEER HAS
	SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THE PROPOSED MOVEMENTS AND SIGNAGE
	OF THESE MOVEMENTS IN THE VICINITY OF THE NORTH
	ENTRANCE TO THE GARAGE.

	5) REPEAT COMMENT: THE APPROVED PHASE 2 PLAN SHOWS
	APPROXIMATELY 110 FEET OF THE FLORIDA AVENUE FRONTAGE
	INTERRUPTED BY VEHICULAR ACCESS POINTS. THE PROPOSED
	PLAN EXPANDS THIS TO APPROXIMATELY 140 FEET (NOT
	INCLUDING THE STABILIZED FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS
	ROADWAY). THERE HAS BEEN NO JUSTIFICATION PROVIDED TO
	CHANGE THE CONDITIONS OF THE CURRENT APPROVAL TO
	SUPPORT THIS ENLARGEMENT OF THE DRIVEWAYS ALONG THE
	FRONTAGE AREA. STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF
	THE FRONTAGE INTERRUPTION FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS TO THE
	SITE SHOWN ON THE PROPOSED PLANS. STAFF WILL SUPPORT
	ADDITIONAL INTERRUPTION FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS ONLY UNDER
	THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS, WHICH SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE
	PLANS:

	A. THERE SHALL BE ONLY TWO LANES, NOT THREE, TO ENTER
	THE SITE LEADING TO THE VALET AREA (NOTE: WITH ONLY TWO
	LANES ON FLORIDA AVENUE, NO MORE THAN TWO LANES INTO
	THE SITE ARE NEEDED, WHICH IS THE EXISTING CONDITION
	TODAY). THIS MAY EXPAND TO THREE LANES ONCE A DRIVER IS
	FURTHER ONTO THE SITE.
	B. THE CURRENT PLAN SHOWS LANE WIDTHS OF 12 FEET. THESE
	ARE EXCESSIVE AND SHALL BE NARROWED TO NO GREATER THAN
	11 FEET IN WIDTH.

	THE ITEMS LISTED ABOVE WILL ONLY INTERRUPT THE APPROVED
	PHASE 2 FRONTAGE OF 110 FEET BY AN ADDITIONAL 11 FEET,
	NOT 30 FEET.

	6) REVISED COMMENT: THE TURNING RADIUS DRAWINGS FOR
	FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS ROADWAY DO NOT INCLUDE THE
	EXISTING TREES. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS AT LEAST ONE
	TREE THAT WILL BE HIT BY A TRUCK NEGOTIATING THE
	SOUTHEAST CURVE. SHOW THE TREES ON THE TURNING RADIUS
	DRAWING.

	7) NEW COMMENT: THE RECONFIGURED FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS
	ROADWAY IS SHOWN CROSSING TRACT 7. TRACT 7 IS NOT UNDER
	OWNERSHIP OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, BUT RATHER THE
	COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND MAY NOT BE USED AS
	PART OF THE PLANS APPROVED BY A MINOR AMENDMENT. TRACT
	7 INCLUDES LANDSCAPE TO BUFFER THE REAR OF THE BUFFER
	TOWNHOUSES THAT MAY NOT BE REMOVED AS PART OF THE
	GARAGE PROJECT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RESTRICTIVE
	COVENANT REQUIRED AS PART OF CRA RESOLUTION 99-10 ONLY
	PERMITS TRACT 7 TO BE USED FOR LANDSCAPED AREA,
	UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AND APPROVED SIGNAGE. ROADWAYS
	ARE PROHIBITED.

	8) REVISED COMMENT: STAFF STRONGLY SUGGESTS INSTALLING
	A SIDEWALK ON THE WEST SIDE OF FLORIDA AVENUE, ALONG
	THE CONVENTION CENTER PROPERTY LINE, TO CONNECT THE
	SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL TO THE EXISTING SIDEWALK
	ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TOWNHOUSES TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM
	PEDESTRIAN OPTIONS IN THE AREA. DURING THE MAJORITY OF
	THE TIME THE CONVENTION CENTER GARAGE WILL NOT BE
	OPERATING AT PEAK FLOW, SO A CROSSWALK AT THE PROPOSED
	INTERSECTIONS IS A SAFER ALTERNATIVE THAN A SIDEWALK AT
	A MIDBLOCK CROSSING. DURING THE TIMES OF PEAK FLOW WHEN
	CONVENTION CENTER TRAFFIC PERSONNEL ARE DEPLOYED, THEY
	CAN FACILITATE THE MOVEMENT OF PEDESTRIANS ACROSS THE
	INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS THE EXISTING CONDITION TODAY
	WITH SIDEWALKS CROSSING THE ACCESS POINTS ON THE WEST
	SIDE OF FLORIDA AVENUE.

	IF A MIDBLOCK CROSSING OF FLORIDA AVENUE CONTINUES TO
	BE UTILIZED, STAFF WILL NOT SUPPORT ITS LOCATION AS
	SHOWN ON THE SUBMITTED PLANS BETWEEN THE HOTEL SERVICE
	COURT AND THE CONVENTION CENTER ENTRANCE DRIVE. INSTEAD
	THE CROSSWALK SHALL BE RELOCATED NORTH OF THE HOTEL
	SERVICE COURT AND BISECT THE FLORIDA AVENUE MEDIAN
	ISLAND TO PROVIDE FOR A PROTECTED PEDESTRIAN. THE CITY
	DOES NOT ACCEPT RUMBLE STRIPS AS A WARNING DEVICE FOR
	MIDBLOCK PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS, BUT INSTEAD REQUIRES
	RECTANGULAR RAPID FLASHING BEACONS. THESE SHALL BE
	CLEARLY LABELED ON THE PLANS. THE MIDBLOCK CROSSING
	SHALL BE TEN FEET WIDE AND SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED OF A
	DIFFERENT MATERIAL THAN THE ROADWAY, FOR EXAMPLE
	STAMPED ASPHALT.

	THE SIDEWALK/PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SHALL INCLUDE
	APPROPRIATE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING.

	9) NEW COMMENT: IF THE SIDEWALK IS ONLY SUPPLIED ON THE
	EAST SIDE OF FLORIDA AVENUE, THEN THE COUNTY SHALL BE
	RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING THE STRETCH OF SIDEWALK THAT
	WILL NO LONGER SERVE A PURPOSE IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY
	NORTH OF TRACT 7. THIS IS NOT UNIFORMLY SHOWN ON ALL
	THE PLANS.

	10) CONDITION: PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL LIGHT POLES AND
	FIXTURES IN THE ENTRY AREA AND BEING AFFECTED BY
	CONSTRUCTION SHALL MATCH THE STYLE BEING INSTALLED BY
	THE HOTEL.

	11) CONDITION: THE DRI REQUIRES THE SUBMITTAL OF A
	SIGNAGE PROGRAM FOR ANY NEW SIGNS. THE SIGNAGE PROGRAM
	SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW AS A MINOR PLANNED
	DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT PRIOR TO THE SIGNAGE FOR THE
	CONVENTION CENTER GARAGE REVIEW AS PART OF A BUILDING
	PERMIT.

	12) REPEAT COMMENT: THE STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE
	CURRENT PLANS DO NOT SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE
	REQUIREMENT THAT ROOFTOP PARKING SPACES BE SCREENED.
	THE RECENT APPROVAL OF THE GARAGE ROOFTOP TREATMENTS
	FOR THE SEA PALM DEVELOPMENT AT THE LANDS OF THE
	PRESIDENTS BY THE CITY COMMISSION GIVES GUIDANCE ON
	WHAT COULD BE USED TO COVER ADDITIONAL ROOFTOP PARKING
	AREA.

	13) NEW COMMENT: DUE TO THE PROVISION OF COVERED
	PARKING SPACES ON THE ROOF, THERE NEED TO BE AT LEAST
	ADA SPACES THAT ARE COVERED. PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT
	BROWN, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, DIRECTLY FOR FURTHER
	DETAILS.

	14) NEW COMMENT: PLEASE DESCRIBE WHAT THE DIAMOND
	SHAPES ARE THAT ARE SHOWN SURROUNDING THE SUPPORT
	COLUMNS. IF THESE EXTEND ABOVE THE HEIGHT OF THE WHEEL
	STOPS, THEN SOME, TO INCLUDE ONES AT THE HEAD OF THE
	ADA SPACES MAKE THOSE SPACES NON-FUNCTIONING FOR
	PARKING (INSUFFICIENT DEPTH).

	15) REVISED COMMENT: THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE
	REQUIRED/PROVIDED NUMBER OF BICYCLE PARKING SPACES FOR
	THE SITE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE LOCATIONS AND NUMBER OF
	THE EXISTING BICYCLE PARKING SPACES SO THAT STAFF CAN
	VERIFY THAT THE DISTRIBUTION ADEQUATELY SERVES THE
	SITE. THE NEW SPACES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE GARAGE ARE
	NOT READILY VISIBLE TO THE BICYCLE USER. SOME OF THE
	SPACES SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE PLAZA
	AREA AT THE CONVENTION CENTER ENTRANCE TO BE MORE
	VISIBLE.

	16) NEW COMMENT: SHOW HOW THE 19 BICYCLE RACKS WILL BE
	ALIGNED IN THE WESTERN BUILDING LOCATION BY THE LOADING
	DOCKS. THIS INCLUDES THE CORRECT BICYCLE PAD
	DIMENSIONS. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT A MINIMUM OF TWO (2)
	FEET ARE REQUIRED AT THE END OF THE ROW WHEN AGAINST A
	FIXED OBJECT SUCH AS A WALL.

	17) REPEAT COMMENT: THE STAIRWELL THAT LEADS TO THE PAY
	STATION ON THE BASEMENT LEVEL IN NORTHEAST CORNER OF
	THE GARAGE LEADS TO A SIDEWALK THAT DEAD ENDS INTO THE
	DRIVE AISLE. THIS SIDEWALK HAS TO CONNECT INTO A
	SIDEWALK SO PEOPLE ARE NOT FORCED INTO THE DRIVE AISLE.
	IN REVIEWING THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSE, A CONDITION WILL
	BE ADDED TO THE ULTIMATE GARAGE APPROVAL THAT REQUIRES
	INTERNAL SIGNAGE SHALL BE INSTALLED TO GUIDE USERS TO
	THE ELEVATORS AND STAIRWELLS AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF
	THE GARAGE. THE REMAINING STAIRWELLS SHALL BE SIGNED AS
	EMERGENCY EGRESS ONLY. HOWEVER; BOTH ROBERT BROWN,
	CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, AND BRIAN COLLINS, CITY
	TRAFFIC ENGINEER, RAISED CONCERNS WITH PEOPLE PARKING
	IN THE GARAGE AND UTILIZING THE NORTHEAST STAIR AS
	EGRESS FROM THE GARAGE, DUE TO THE PROXIMITY TO THE
	CONVENTION CENTER AND THE HOTEL DESTINATIONS, AND THEN
	BEING ISOLATED AT THE DRIVE AISLE. BOTH REVIEWERS, IN
	ADDITION TO THE ZONING REVIEWER, ARE REQUIRING THAT A
	PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION TO THE SIDEWALK NETWORK BE
	PROVIDED FROM THE NORTHEAST STAIRWELL EXIT. MR. BROWN
	WILL PERMIT THE INSTALLATION OF THE INTERNAL SIGNAGE TO
	SUFFICE TO NOT REQUIRE A PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION FOR THE
	STAIRWELL EXIT POINTS ON THE SOUTH PORTION OF THE
	GARAGE SINCE THERE IS NO DESTINATION FOR SOMEONE USING
	THOSE STAIRWELLS. NOTE: THE PLANS STILL INCLUDE THE PAY
	STATION AT ON THE BASEMENT LEVEL AT THE NORTHEAST EXIT
	STAIRWELL.

	18) REPEAT COMMENT: THE EVENT STAGING AREA SHALL BE
	SEPARATED FROM THE WESTERN GARAGE EXIT LANES BY A
	LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND IT SHALL BE BROKEN UP BY THE
	PLACEMENT OF INTERNAL LANDSCAPE. THE BUFFER WILL SERVE
	TO VISUALLY SCREEN THE STAGING AREA FROM THE GARAGE
	PATRONS. ADDITIONALLY THE BUFFER AND THE INTERNAL
	LANDSCAPE WILL BREAK UP THE LARGE EXPANSE OF PAVING AT
	THE STAGING AREA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DRI REQUIREMENT
	TO "REDUCE COVERAGE BY ASPHALT, CONCRETE, ROCK, AND
	SIMILAR SUBSTANCES IN STREETS, PARKING LOTS, AND OTHER
	AREAS TO REDUCE LOCAL AIR TEMPERATURES AND REFLECT
	LIGHT AND HEAT."

	19) NEW COMMENT: THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSE STATES THAT
	ONLY ONE STATIC EXIT LANE WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE
	NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE GARAGE; HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT
	VERIFIED BY THE STRIPING PLAN, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE
	PAVEMENT MARKINGS TO GUIDE A DRIVER TO THE SINGLE EXIT
	LANE.

	LANDSCAPE

	20) REPEAT COMMENT: THE APPROVED PLAN REQUIRES PLANTER
	BOXES 42 INCHES ABOVE EACH PARKING DECK TO BREAK UP THE
	FACADE OF THE GARAGE. IF THE ROOFTOP PARKING WILL NOT
	BE SCREENED, THEN THE PLANTER BOXES SHOWN ON THE PHASE
	2 SITE PLAN APPROVED AS PART OF RESOLUTION NO. 44-99
	SHALL BE INSTALLED UNLESS THE CONDITION IS AMENDED BY
	CITY COMMISSION ACTION TO CHANGE THE CONDITION OF
	APPROVAL.

	21) NEW COMMENT: THE TOTAL SITE AREA LISTED ON SHEET
	AS000 IS 848,549 SQ. FT., BUT THE TOTAL SITE AREA
	LISTED ON SHEET LD-4 OF 4 IS 841,373. WHICH IS CORRECT?
	ALL DATA CALCULATIONS SHALL BE BASED ON ACCURATE
	NUMBERS.

	22) REVISED COMMENT: THE EAST PROPERTY CONTAINS 17, NOT
	16 PROVIDED TREES. PLEASE UPDATE THE TABLE.

	23) REPEAT COMMENT: THE CONVENTION CENTER HAS NOT
	MAINTAINED ITS PARKING LOT TREES SINCE THEY WERE
	ORIGINALLY INSTALLED AS EVIDENCED BY THE MANY PARKING
	LOT ISLANDS WITHOUT TREES. THESE MISSING TREES ARE

	PALM BEACH COUNTY CONVENTION CENTER GARAGE
	650 OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD

	- CONTACT ERIC SCHNEIDER @ (561) 822-1446

	THIS SET OF INTERIM COMMENTS IS BEING ISSUED TO ALLOW
	THE DESIGN TEAM TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE DEFICIENCIES
	WHILE STAFF CONTINUES TO ANALYZE THE APPLICANT'S
	2/25/15 RESPONSES TO THE COMMENTS LISTED AS "STILL
	UNDER STAFF REVIEW". THE "REVISED COMMENT" CATEGORY
	REQUIRES ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP INFORMATION BASED ON THE
	REVISED PLANS AND THE "NEW COMMENT" CATEGORY IS A
	RESULT OF CHANGES MADE TO THE ORIGINAL PLANS. THE
	"CONDITION" COMMENTS WILL BE ADDED AS PART OF THE
	ULTIMATE APPROVAL LETTER. THE "REPEAT COMMENTS" WERE
	NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED.

	GENERAL

	1) CONDITION: STAFF HAS SPOKEN WITH RELATED REGARDING
	THE AREA SOUTH OF THE HOTEL LOADING ZONE THAT IS
	CURRENTLY NOT INCLUDED ON EITHER THE HOTEL SITE PLAN OR
	THIS SITE PLAN. RELATED HAS AGREED TO SUPPLY PLANS FOR
	THE MISSING PIECE ONCE THIS GARAGE APPLICATION IS
	APPROVED, SO THEY CAN INTEGRATE THEIR PLANS WITH THE
	APPROVED GARAGE DESIGN. RELATED HAS STATED THEY WILL
	CONSTRUCT THE LOADING AREA CHANGES IF THE GARAGE IS
	UNDER CONSTRUCTION BEFORE THEY HAVE COMPLETED THE HOTEL
	CONSTRUCTION. IF THE HOTEL IS COMPLETED AND THE GARAGE
	CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN, THE LOADING ZONE
	MODIFICATION CONSTRUCTION WILL BE BORNE BY THE COUNTY
	AS PART OF THE GARAGE CONSTRUCTION. THIS CONDITION WILL
	APPLY TO BOTH APPROVALS.

	2) REPEAT COMMENT: PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS ON HOW THE
	PROPOSED GARAGE COMPLIES WITH THE EXHIBIT D "ENERGY
	SAVING METHODS" OF THE CITYPLACE DRI. - THE RESPONSE
	SHALL LIST THE SPECIFIC ITEMS IN EXHIBIT D THAT WILL BE
	USED AND WHY OTHERS ARE NOT BEING IMPLEMENTED.

	SITE PLAN

	3) REVISED COMMENT: THE SITE DATA TABLE WAS UPDATED TO
	INCLUDE THE ENTIRE CONVENTION CENTER PARCEL. THE AMOUNT
	OF LANDSCAPE AREA APPROVED BY RES. NO. 44-99 WAS
	15.03%. THE PROPOSED OVERALL CONVENTION CENTER SITE
	ONLY HAS 13.6% LANDSCAPE. PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL
	LANDSCAPE AREA.

	4) REVISED COMMENT: PROVIDE A PARKING MANAGEMENT PLAN
	THAT CONSOLIDATES THE APPLICANT RESPONSES INCLUDED WITH
	ITEMS 8 A THROUGH G IN ONE CENTRAL DOCUMENT THAT WILL
	BE INCLUDED WITH THE ULTIMATE APPROVAL LETTER.

	5) STILL UNDER STAFF REVIEW: THE APPROVED PHASE 2 PLAN
	SHOWS APPROXIMATELY 110 FEET OF THE FLORIDA AVENUE
	FRONTAGE INTERRUPTED BY VEHICULAR ACCESS POINTS. THE
	PROPOSED PLAN EXPANDS THIS TO APPROXIMATELY 140 FEET
	(NOT INCLUDING THE STABILIZED FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS
	ROADWAY). THERE HAS BEEN NO JUSTIFICATION PROVIDED TO
	CHANGE THE CONDITIONS OF THE CURRENT APPROVAL TO
	SUPPORT THIS ENLARGEMENT OF THE DRIVEWAYS ALONG THE
	FRONTAGE AREA.

	7) REVISED COMMENT: THE TURNING RADIUS DRAWINGS FOR
	FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS ROADWAY DO NOT INCLUDE THE
	EXISTING TREES. IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS AT LEAST ONE
	TREE THAT WILL BE HIT BY A TRUCK NEGOTIATING THE
	SOUTHEAST CURVE.

	8) NEW COMMENT: THE RECONFIGURED FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS
	ROADWAY IS SHOWN CROSSING TRACT 7. TRACT 7 IS NOT UNDER
	OWNERSHIP OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, BUT RATHER THE
	COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND MAY NOT BE USED AS
	PART OF THE PLANS APPROVED BY A MINOR AMENDMENT. TRACT
	7 INCLUDES LANDSCAPE TO BUFFER THE REAR OF THE BUFFER
	TOWNHOUSES THAT MAY NOT BE REMOVED AS PART OF THE
	GARAGE PROJECT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RESTRICTIVE
	COVENANT REQUIRED AS PART OF CRA RESOLUTION 99-10 ONLY
	PERMITS TRACT 7 TO BE USED FOR LANDSCAPE, HARDSCAPE,
	UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS. ROADWAYS
	ARE PROHIBITED.

	9) STILL UNDER STAFF REVIEW: A SIDEWALK SHALL BE
	PROVIDED ON THE WEST SIDE OF FLORIDA AVENUE TO CONNECT
	THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL TO THE EXISTING
	SIDEWALK ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE TOWNHOUSES. THIS
	SIDEWALK SHALL INCLUDE APPROPRIATE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING.

	10) NEW COMMENT: IF THE SIDEWALK IS ONLY SUPPLIED ON
	THE EAST SIDE OF FLORIDA AVENUE, THEN THE COUNTY SHALL
	BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING THE STRETCH OF SIDEWALK
	THAT WILL NO LONGER SERVE A PURPOSE IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY
	NORTH OF TRACT 7. THIS IS NOT UNIFORMLY SHOWN ON ALL
	THE PLANS.

	11) CONDITION: PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL LIGHT POLES AND
	FIXTURES IN THE ENTRY AREA SHALL MATCH THE STYLE BEING
	INSTALLED BY THE HOTEL.

	12) CONDITION: THE DRI REQUIRES THE SUBMITTAL OF A
	SIGNAGE PROGRAM FOR ANY NEW SIGNS. THE SIGNAGE PROGRAM
	SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW AS A MINOR PLANNED
	DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT PRIOR TO THE SIGNAGE FOR THE
	CONVENTION CENTER GARAGE REVIEW AS PART OF A BUILDING
	PERMIT.

	13) STILL UNDER STAFF REVIEW: THE STAFF HAS DETERMINED
	THAT THE CURRENT PLANS DO NOT SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE
	REQUIREMENT THAT ROOFTOP PARKING SPACES BE SCREENED.
	PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION ON HOW COMPLIANCE WITH THIS
	REQUIREMENT WILL BE ACHIEVED.

	14) NEW COMMENT: DUE TO THE PROVISION OF COVERED
	PARKING SPACES ON THE ROOF, THERE NEED TO BE AT LEAST
	ADA SPACES THAT ARE COVERED. PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT
	BROWN, CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL, DIRECTLY FOR FURTHER
	DETAILS.

	15) NEW COMMENT: PLEASE DESCRIBE WHAT THE DIAMOND
	SHAPES ARE THAT ARE SHOWN SURROUNDING THE SUPPORT
	COLUMNS. IF THESE EXTEND ABOVE THE HEIGHT OF THE WHEEL
	STOPS, THEN SOME, TO INCLUDE ONES AT THE HEAD OF THE
	ADA SPACES MAKE THOSE SPACES NON-FUNCTIONING FOR
	PARKING (INSUFFICIENT DEPTH).

	16) REVISED COMMENT: THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING THE
	REQUIRED/PROVIDED NUMBER OF BICYCLE PARKING SPACES FOR
	THE SITE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE LOCATIONS AND NUMBER OF
	THE EXISTING BICYCLE PARKING SPACES SO THAT STAFF CAN
	VERIFY THAT THE DISTRIBUTION ADEQUATELY SERVES THE
	SITE. THE NEW SPACES ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE GARAGE ARE
	NOT READILY VISIBLE TO THE BICYCLE USER. SOME OF THE
	SPACES SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE PLAZA
	AREA AT THE CONVENTION CENTER ENTRANCE TO BE MORE
	VISIBLE.

	17) NEW COMMENT: SHOW HOW THE 19 BICYCLE RACKS WILL BE
	ALIGNED IN THE WESTERN BUILDING LOCATION BY THE LOADING
	DOCKS. THIS INCLUDES THE CORRECT BICYCLE PAD
	DIMENSIONS. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT A MINIMUM OF TWO (2)
	FEET ARE REQUIRED AT THE END OF THE ROW WHEN AGAINST A
	FIXED OBJECT SUCH AS A WALL.

	18) CONDITION: INTERNAL SIGNAGE SHALL BE INSTALLED TO
	GUIDE USERS TO THE ELEVATORS AND STAIRWELLS AT THE
	NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE GARAGE. THE REMAINING
	STAIRWELLS SHALL BE SIGNED AS EMERGENCY EGRESS ONLY.

	19) STILL UNDER STAFF REVIEW: THE EVENT STAGING AREA
	SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM THE WESTERN GARAGE EXIT LANES
	BY A LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND IT SHALL BE BROKEN UP BY THE
	PLACEMENT OF INTERNAL LANDSCAPE. THE BUFFER WILL SERVE
	TO VISUALLY SCREEN THE STAGING AREA FROM THE GARAGE
	PATRONS. ADDITIONALLY THE BUFFER AND THE INTERNAL
	LANDSCAPE WILL BREAK UP THE LARGE EXPANSE OF PAVING AT
	THE STAGING AREA IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DRI REQUIREMENT
	TO "REDUCE COVERAGE BY ASPHALT, CONCRETE, ROCK, AND
	SIMILAR SUBSTANCES IN STREETS, PARKING LOTS, AND OTHER
	AREAS TO REDUCE LOCAL AIR TEMPERATURES AND REFLECT
	LIGHT AND HEAT."

	20) NEW COMMENT: THE APPLICANT'S RESPONSE STATES THAT
	ONLY ONE STATIC EXIT LANE WILL BE PROVIDED AT THE
	NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE GARAGE; HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT
	VERIFIED BY THE STRIPING PLAN, WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE
	PAVEMENT MARKINGS TO GUIDE A DRIVER TO THE SINGLE EXIT
	LANE.

	LANDSCAPE

	21) STILL UNDER STAFF REVIEW: THE APPROVED PLAN
	REQUIRES PLANTER BOXES 42 INCHES ABOVE EACH PARKING
	DECK TO BREAK UP THE FACADE OF THE GARAGE. PLEASE
	PROVIDE JUSTIFICATION AS TO WHY NOT PROVIDING THE
	PLANTER BOXES IS NOT A CHANGED CONDITION OF APPROVAL,
	WHICH WOULD NECESSITATE A REVIEW OF THE GARAGE BY THE
	CITY COMMISSION.

	22) NEW COMMENT: THE TOTAL SITE AREA LISTED ON SHEET
	AS000 IS 848,549 SQ. FT., BUT THE TOTAL SITE AREA
	LISTED ON SHEET LD-4 OF 4 IS 841,373. WHICH IS CORRECT?
	ALL DATA CALCULATIONS SHALL BE BASED ON ACCURATE
	NUMBERS.

	23) REVISED COMMENT: THE EAST PROPERTY CONTAINS 17, NOT
	16 PROVIDED TREES. PLEASE UPDATE THE TABLE.

	24) STILL UNDER STAFF REVIEW: THE CONVENTION CENTER HAS
	NOT MAINTAINED ITS PARKING LOT TREES SINCE THEY WERE
	ORIGINALLY INSTALLED AS EVIDENCED BY THE MANY PARKING
	LOT ISLANDS WITHOUT TREES. THESE MISSING TREES ARE
	STILL REQUIRED TO BE MITIGATED AS PART OF THE TREE
	ALTERATION PERMIT. A TABLE VERIFYING THAT ALL OF THE
	REMOVED TREES HAVE BEEN MITIGATED IS REQUIRED AS PART
	OF THE TREE ALTERATION PERMIT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE
	WAS NOT INFORMATION PROVIDED AS TO THE CANOPY SIZE OF
	ANY OF THE TREES PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL. DO ANY OF THESE
	TREES HAVE GREATER THAN 35 FEET OF CANOPY?

	ELEVATION

	25) REVISED COMMENT: THE FINAL COLOR ELEVATIONS THAT
	INCORPORATE THE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS WERE NOT
	PROVIDED.

	26) REPEAT COMMENT: PROVIDE A LINE OF SIGHT DRAWING
	NORTH ALONG GEORGIA AVENUE FROM SOUTH OF O STREET.

	27) NEW COMMENT: THE SOUTH AND WEST ELEVATION DRAWINGS
	CALL OUT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS ROADWAY GATE AS
	GALVANIZED, NOT COATED, CHAIN LINK AS IS SHOWN ON THE
	SITE PLANS.

	28) NEW COMMENT: THE EAST ELEVATION DRAWING CALLS OUT A
	DIGITAL MONUMENT SIGN. THIS SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE
	PLAN.

	29) NEW COMMENT: WHY DOES THE NORTH/SOUTH BUILDING
	SECTION SHOW BICYCLE RACKS IN THE BUILDING?

	PLAN. RELATED HAS AGREED TO SUPPLY PLANS FOR THE
	MISSING PIECE ONCE THIS GARAGE APPLICATION IS APPROVED,
	SO THEY CAN INTEGRATE THEIR PLANS WITH THE APPROVED

	CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN, THE LOADING ZONE
	MODIFICATION CONSTRUCTION WILL BE BORNE BY THE COUNTY
	AS PART OF THE GARAGE CONSTRUCTION. THIS CONDITION WILL
	APPLY TO BOTH APPROVALS.

	5) PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILS ON HOW THE PROPOSED GARAGE

	MINIMUM IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREA AND LOT COVERAGE SHALL
	BE PROVIDED ACROSS THE ENTIRE SITE.

	7) THE CONFIGURATION OF FLORIDA AVENUE AT THE NORTHEAST
	CORNER ENTRANCE TO THE GARAGE ON SHEET AS000 DOES NOT
	MATCH THE REMAINDER OF THE PLANS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW.
	THE MEDIAN IS SHOWN WITH A DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION.

	8) ONCE YOU HAVE DETERMINED THE FINAL MEDIAN
	CONFIGURATION, PLEASE PROVIDE TURNING RADIUS DRAWINGS
	AND VEHICULAR MOVEMENT PLANS FOR THIS AREA. THERE ARE A
	LOT OF TRAFFIC LANES THAT DO NOT APPEAR TO STAFF TO
	ALLOW FOR EFFICIENT, OR IN SOME CASES POSSIBLE TRAFFIC
	MOVEMENTS.

	A. WHY ARE THERE THREE LANES LEADING AROUND THE VALET
	CIRCLE?
	B. IS IT THE INTENT TO ALLOW DRIVERS TO ENTER THE NORTH
	SIDE OF THE GARAGE BY GOING THROUGH THE MEDIAN BREAK
	INSTEAD OF CIRCLING AROUND TO THE VALET?
	C. THERE ARE FIVE LANES THAT LEAVE THE SITE IMMEDIATELY
	ADJACENT TO EACH OTHER. HOW DO THESE CARS NEGOTIATE OUT
	OF THE SITE GIVEN THAT THERE ARE NOT FIVE TRAVEL LANES
	IN THE AREA?
	D. WHAT IS THE VALET ROUTE TO AND FROM THE GARAGE TO
	PARK CARS?
	E. HOW IS THE VALET TRAFFIC INTEGRATED OR KEPT SEPARATE
	FROM SELF-PARK TRAFFIC?
	F. WHERE ARE THE VALET PARKING SPACES?
	G. WHAT DESIGN FEATURES WILL CARS LEAVING THE BASEMENT
	LEVEL OF THE GARAGE FROM UNSAFE EXIT SPEEDS ONTO
	FLORIDA AVENUE.

	9) THE APPROVED PHASE 2 PLAN SHOWS APPROXIMATELY 110
	FEET OF THE FLORIDA AVENUE FRONTAGE INTERRUPTED BY
	VEHICULAR ACCESS POINTS. THE PROPOSED PLAN EXPANDS THIS
	TO APPROXIMATELY 140 FEET (NOT INCLUDING THE STABILIZED
	FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS). THERE HAS BEEN NO
	JUSTIFICATION PROVIDED TO CHANGE THE CONDITIONS OF THE
	CURRENT APPROVAL TO SUPPORT THIS ENLARGEMENT OF THE
	DRIVEWAYS ALONG THE FRONTAGE AREA.

	10) PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW VISITORS WILL KNOW TO GO TO THE
	NORTH GARAGE ENTRANCE OR THE CORNER GARAGE ENTRANCE.

	11) PROVIDE TURNING RADIUS DRAWINGS FOR THE CURVED
	AREAS OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS. PLEASE VERIFY WITH
	THE CITY'S FIRE MARSHALL WHICH TRUCK SIZE IS
	APPROPRIATE TO USE FOR THE DRAWINGS.

	12) PROVIDE A CROSS SECTION, WITH ELEVATION MARKERS,
	FOR THE RAMPED DOWN ENTRY INTO THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
	THE GARAGE. THE TRANSITION FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT

	A. HOW IS THE EDGE OF THE ACCESS ROAD RETAINED?
	B. WHAT IS THE GRADE DIFFERENCE?
	C. IS BARRIER REQUIRED TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM GOING OFF

	WITH THE CITY'S LIGHTING REGULATIONS. PLEASE NOTE THAT
	ALL LIGHT POLES AND FIXTURES IN THE ENTRY AREA SHALL
	MATCH THE STYLE BEING INSTALLED BY THE HOTEL.

	15) THE CITY DOES NOT PERMIT CHAIN LINK FENCES WITH
	SLATS IN THEM. IF THE GOAL OF THE FENCES AND GATES ON
	EITHER END OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS IS FOR
	SCREENING, A DIFFERENT OPTION NEEDS TO BE USED. FROM A
	SECURITY STANDPOINT, STAFF RECOMMENDS USING FENCING
	THAT HAS OPENINGS SO THAT THERE IS THE ABILITY TO SEE
	INTO THE GATED OFF AREA.

	16) THE CONVENTION CENTER MAY ONLY HAVE AN ELECTRONIC
	MESSAGE SIGN LOCATED ON A ROADWAY CLASSIFIED AS AN
	ARTERIAL OR EXPRESSWAY. FLORIDA AVENUE IS NEITHER OF
	THESE; THEREFORE THE ELECTRONIC MESSAGE SIGN IS NOT
	PERMITTED AS SHOWN.

	17) THE DRI REQUIRES THE SUBMITTAL OF A SIGNAGE PROGRAM
	FOR ANY NEW SIGNS.

	18) THE STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT THE CURRENT PLANS DO
	NOT SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENT THAT ROOFTOP
	PARKING SPACES BE SCREENED. PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION

	ACHIEVED.

	19) THE GARAGE PLAN SHEET AE140 CALLS OUT LEVELS 3-8.
	SHEET AE150 THE SHOWS AN ADDITIONAL TOP LEVEL FOR A
	TOTAL OF 9 LEVELS. IT IS STAFF'S UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
	8TH LEVEL IS THE TOP LEVEL AS SHOWN IN THE ELEVATIONS.
	PLEASE CLARIFY.

	20) ARE LEVELS 3-8 MISSING A DOWN ARROW FOR A RAMP?

	21) THE PARKING STALL DETAIL SHALL SHOW WHITE STRIPING
	TO COMPLY WITH CITY REQUIREMENTS.

	22) PROVIDE A TABLE SHOWING THE REQUIRED AND PROVIDED
	BICYCLE PARKING.

	23) THE CITY DOES NOT PERMIT THE WAVE STYLE BICYCLE
	RACK. PROVIDE CITY COMPLIANT BICYCLE RACK AND PAD

	ON THE BASEMENT LEVEL OF THE GARAGE GETS TO THE
	ENTRANCE OF THE CONVENTION CENTER.

	25) PLEASE ELABORATE ON WHAT THE UTILITY ROOMS AND THE
	OFFICES WILL BE USED FOR AND WHO WILL USE THEM.

	26) THERE ARE PAYMENT STATIONS SHOWN IN THE GARAGE.
	WILL THE GARAGE BE UNMANNED?

	27) THE STAIRWELL THAT LEADS TO THE PAY STATION ON THE
	BASEMENT LEVEL IN NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE GARAGE LEADS
	TO A SIDEWALK THAT DEAD ENDS INTO THE DRIVE AISLE. THIS
	SIDEWALK HAS TO CONNECT INTO A SIDEWALK SO PEOPLE ARE
	NOT FORCED INTO THE DRIVE AISLE.

	28) THERE APPEAR TO BE SOME PARKING SPACES THAT ARE
	ADJACENT TO WALLS WITHOUT PROVIDING THE REQUIRED ONE
	(1) FOOT ADDITIONAL SEPARATION (COMPACT SPACES IN
	MIDDLE ROWS IN BASEMENT). IS THIS AN ACCURATE READING
	OF THE PLANS BY STAFF? IF THERE IS A WALL, PLEASE
	PROVIDE THE DIMENSION LINE TO VERIFY THE ONE (1) FOOT
	SETBACK.

	29) PROVIDE DIMENSION LINES FOR THE PARKING ROWS AND
	DRIVE AISLES IN THE GARAGE.

	30) HOW ARE PATRONS RESTRICTED FROM USING THE DOORS TO
	THE STAIRWELLS ON THE EAST, SOUTH AND WEST SIDES OF THE
	BUILDING, ESPECIALLY SINCE THESE EXIT OUT BEHIND THE
	FENCES TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS ROAD?

	31) THE EVENT STAGING AREA SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM THE
	WESTERN GARAGE EXIT LANES BY A LANDSCAPE BUFFER AND IT
	SHALL BE BROKEN UP BY THE PLACEMENT OF INTERNAL
	LANDSCAPE. THE BUFFER WILL SERVE TO VISUALLY SCREEN THE
	STAGING AREA FROM THE GARAGE PATRONS. ADDITIONALLY THE
	BUFFER AND THE INTERNAL LANDSCAPE WILL BREAK UP THE
	LARGE EXPANSE OF PAVING AT THE STAGING AREA IN
	ACCORDANCE WITH THE DRI REQUIREMENT TO "REDUCE COVERAGE
	BY ASPHALT, CONCRETE, ROCK, AND SIMILAR SUBSTANCES IN
	STREETS, PARKING LOTS, AND OTHER AREAS TO REDUCE LOCAL
	AIR TEMPERATURES AND REFLECT LIGHT AND HEAT."

	32) THE STAGING AREA SHALL BE SCREENED FROM THE
	CONVENTION CENTER ENTRANCE AT ITS NORTHEAST CORNER.

	LANDSCAPE

	33) ALL LIGHT POLES SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE
	PLAN. THE LIGHT POLES SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
	LANDSCAPE GROWTH.

	34) THE APPROVED PLAN REQUIRES PLANTER BOXES 42 INCHES
	ABOVE EACH PARKING DECK TO BREAK UP THE FA?ADE OF THE
	GARAGE. PLEASE PROVIDE JUSTIFICATION AS TO WHY NOT
	PROVIDING THE PLANTER BOXES IS NOT A CHANGED CONDITION
	OF APPROVAL, WHICH WOULD NECESSITATE A REVIEW OF THE
	GARAGE BY THE CITY COMMISSION.

	35) LANDSCAPE MATERIAL LISTED UNDER THE "SHRUB" PORTION
	OF THE LANDSCAPE TABLE MAY NOT BE COUNTED TO MEET THE
	TREE REQUIREMENTS ON THE SITE.

	36) PROVIDE JUSTIFICATION FOR COUNTING THE BAMBOO AS A
	2:1 TREE REPLACEMENT.

	37) PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY 35% OF THE REQUIRED SHADE
	TREES MAY BE SUBSTITUTED BY PALMS (AND POTENTIALLY
	BAMBOO). PROVIDE A VERIFICATION TABLE.

	38) THE EAST PROPERTY LENGTH LISTED IN THE TABLE DOES
	NOT INCLUDE THE ENTIRE EAST PROPERTY LINE DIMENSION.
	THIS WILL CHANGE THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED TREES.

	39) THERE ARE TREES THAT APPEAR EXTREMELY CLOSE TO
	UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE FACILITIES, ESPECIALLY IN THE
	SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE SITE. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THERE
	WILL BE NO DISRUPTION OF THESE LINES. NOTE: THE ROOT
	BARRIERS SHOWN ON THE DETAIL SHEET ONLY SEEM TO BE
	PLANNED TO PROTECT SIDEWALKS.

	40) THE CONVENTION CENTER HAS NOT MAINTAINED ITS
	PARKING LOT TREES SINCE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED
	AS EVIDENCED BY THE MANY PARKING LOT ISLANDS WITHOUT
	TREES. THESE MISSING TREES ARE STILL REQUIRED TO BE
	MITIGATED AS PART OF THE TREE ALTERATION PERMIT. A
	TABLE VERIFYING THAT ALL OF THE REMOVED TREES HAVE BEEN
	MITIGATED IS REQUIRED AS PART OF THE TREE ALTERATION
	PERMIT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WAS NOT INFORMATION
	PROVIDED AS TO THE CANOPY SIZE OF ANY OF THE TREES
	PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL. DO ANY OF THESE TREES HAVE
	GREATER THAN 35 FEET OF CANOPY?

	ELEVATION

	41) STAFF WILL WAIT TO COMPLETE A FULL REVIEW UNTIL THE

	COMMENTS ARE PROVIDED.

	42) PROVIDE SECTION DRAWINGS TO SHOW HOW THE CAR
	HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT SHINE OUT OF THE GARAGE.

	44) PROVIDE A LINE OF SIGHT DRAWINGNORTH ALONG GEORGIA
	AVENUE FROM SOUTH OF O STREET.

	45) PROVIDE DETAILS OF THE CANOPIES AND OTHER ROOF
