| | 901 FLORIDA AVENUE |
| | |
| | - CONTACT ERIC SCHNEIDER @ (561) 822-1446 |

| | WRITTEN FORMAT. |
| | |
| | - WHEN RESUBMITTING, PLEASE PROVIDE A MINIMUM OF TEN |
| | (10) PAPER COPIES AND AN ELECTRONIC COPY IN .PNG FORMAT |
| | OF ALL PLANS. PLEASE NOTE THAT CHANGES ON THE |
| | RESUBMITTED PLANS MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | - THE PPRC COMMENTS SHALL BE SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED AND |
| | SUBMITTED TO THE PLANNING DIVISION BY 5 PM ON OCTOBER |
| | 18, 2013, TO BE SCHEDULED FOR THE NOVEMBER 19, 2013 |
| | PLANNING BOARD MEETING. |
| | |
| | - PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THE PLANNING DIVISION HAS NOT |
| | RECEIVED A RESPONSE TO THESE COMMENTS WITHIN 60 DAYS |
| | (DECEMBER 1, 2013), THE CASE SHALL BE CONSIDERED |
| | WITHDRAWN. ANY FURTHER ACTION SHALL REQUIRE A NEW |
| | DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION. |
| | |
| | - PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE PREVIOUSLY-ISSUED COMMENTS |
| | WERE NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED, THE APPLICANT WILL BE |
| | ACCESSED A RESUBMITTAL FEE. SUCH FEE WILL BE 20% OF THE |
| | ORIGINAL APPLICATION FEE ($600). |
| | |
| | 1. PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT, A UNITY |
| | OF TITLE, UNITY OF CONTROL OR OTHER INSTRUMENT WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE POOL AND HOT TUB, |
| | CABANAS, POOL DECK AND OTHER FEATURES THAT ARE ON THE |
| | CONVENTION CENTER PARCEL. |
| | |
| | 2. REPEAT COMMENT: THE REMAINING OPEN SPACE AS PARK |
| | SQUARE FOOTAGE REMAINING IN THE CITYPLACE DRI IS 43,975 |
| | SQUARE FEET FOR THE FOUR REMAINING UNDEVELOPED PARCELS |
| | - HOTEL SITE, HOTEL GARAGE SITE, OKEECHOBEE PARCEL AND |
| | TENT SITE. THE CITY HAS DIVIDED THE REMAINING OPEN |
| | SPACE AS PARK SQUARE FOOTAGE AMONG THE REMAINING |
| | PARCELS BASED ON THE PERCENTAGE OF EACH REMAINING |
| | PARCEL OF THE TOTAL REMAINING SQUARE FOOTAGE. THE HOTEL |
| | SITE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 15,730 SQUARE FEET AND THE |
| | HOTEL GARAGE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 8,254 SQUARE FEET OF |
| | OPEN SPACE AS PARK, FOR A TOTAL OF 23,984 SQUARE FEET. |
| | STAFF HAS CALCULATED THAT THE PROPOSED SITE DEVELOPMENT |
| | PLAN, INCLUDING BOTH THE HOTEL SITE AND THE HOTEL |
| | GARAGE, PROVIDE A TOTAL OF 12,880 SQUARE FEET OF OPEN |
| | SPACE AS PARK. THE PROPOSED PLAN HAS A DEFICIENCY OF |
| | 11,104 SQUARE FEET OF OPEN SPACE AS PARK. |
| | |
| | SUGGESTION - DESIGN A LINEAR PARK ALONG THE NORTH SIDE |
| | OF THE HOTEL AND CONVENTION CENTER TO PROVIDE A |
| | PLEASANT PEDESTRIAN ROUTE FROM THE FRONT OF THE |
| | HOTEL/OKEECHOBEE & FLORIDA INTERSECTION TO THE FRONT OF |
| | THE CONVENTION CENTER. THIS ALLOWS THE CURRENTLY |
| | UNASSIGNED SPACE ON THE CONVENTION CENTER TO QUALIFY AS |
| | OPEN SPACE AS PARK. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO VERIFY THAT |
| | THIS ADDITIONAL AREA IS ENOUGH TO SATISFY THE FULL |
| | 15,730 SQUARE FEET OF REQUIRED OPEN SPACE AS PARK. |
| | ADDITIONALLY, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE BAR AND FITNESS |
| | CENTER BE RECONFIGURED SO THAT BAR PATRONS, POSSIBLY ON |
| | A TERRACE, CAN OVERLOOK THE NEW LINEAR PARK. |
| | |
| | 3. REPEAT COMMENT: THE NORTH SIDE AND THE ROOF |
| | TREATMENTS OF THE GARAGE DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE |
| | SCREENING TO PROTECT RESIDENTS OF CITYPLACE SOUTH TOWER |
| | FROM UNDESIRABLE VIEWS, LIGHTING, NOISE OR OTHER |
| | ADVERSE OFF-SITE EFFECTS FROM PARKING GARAGE. THE SITE |
| | PLAN SHALL PROVIDE REASONABLE VISUAL AND AUDITORY |
| | PRIVACY FOR ALL DWELLING UNITS LOCATED WITHIN AND |
| | ADJACENT TO THE SITE. THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER IS NOT |
| | SUSTAINABLE WITH OAK TREES IN A 4.5 FOOT WIDE PLANTING |
| | AREA. PLEASE REPLACE WITH ANOTHER SPECIES, PERHAPS A |
| | FLOWERING TREE WHICH WOULD PROVIDE COLOR DURING THE |
| | YEAR TO PROVIDE DESIRABLE SCREENING. |
| | |
| | 4. REPEAT COMMENT: PROVIDE A PHOTOMETRIC PLAN SHOWING |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT |
| | REGULATIONS. THIS SHALL SHOW THE PROPOSED SITE LIGHTING |
| | AND ITS IMPACT ON THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND |
| | RIGHTS-OF-WAY. PLEASE REMEMBER THE COMMITMENT MADE TO |
| | THE GRANDVIEW HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD REGARDING PEDESTRIAN |
| | SCALE LIGHTING ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE. |
| | |
| | 5. PARTIAL REPEAT COMMENT: THE WEST SIDE OF THE GARAGE |
| | AND THE EAST SIDES OF THE HOTEL DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE |
| | ACTIVE USES TO LINE FLORIDA AVENUE (CONTINUATION OF THE |
| | CHARACTER OF DEVELOPMENT FOR FLORIDA AVENUE STARTED BY |
| | THE WEST FA?ADE OF THE SOUTH TOWER) TO PROVIDE A |
| | DESIRABLE EXPERIENCE FOR USERS OF THE FLORIDA AVENUE |
| | CORRIDOR. |
| | |
| | SUGGESTION - RECONFIGURE THE INTERIOR SPACE, SUCH AS |
| | THE LOCATION OF THE DOCK OFFICE AND OTHER ACTIVE USES |
| | TO EXTEND THE ADDED FENESTRATION ALONG THE EXTERIOR |
| | WALL. |
| | |
| | 6. REPEAT COMMENT: THE REDESIGN OF THE PEDESTRIAN |
| | CONNECTION ACROSS OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD SHALL BE |
| | INCLUDED WITH THIS APPLICATION TO ENSURE THAT THE SAFE |
| | PEDESTRIAN CROSSING OF OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD IS |
| | COORDINATED BASED ON THE EXPECTED VOLUME OF PEDESTRIANS |
| | THAT WILL BE GENERATED BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF A |
| | CONVENTION CENTER HOTEL. |
| | |
| | 7. PARTIAL REPEAT COMMENT: THE CITYPLACE DRI REQUIRES A |
| | SIGNAGE PACKAGE TO BE SUBMITTED WITH THE LEVEL III |
| | APPLICATION. SIGNAGE DIMENSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR |
| | THE WALL SIGNS. THE EXISTING, RELOCATED SIGN MAY NOT |
| | INCREASE IN HEIGHT OR AREA. PLEASE PROVIDE DIMENSIONS |
| | OF THE EXISTING SIGN SO STAFF MAY VERIFY NEW SIGN SIZE. |
| | |
| | 8. PARTIAL REPEAT COMMENT: THE PROPOSED DOWNTOWN |
| | TROLLEY STOP SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO SHARE A BUS |
| | DROP-OFF SPACE. |
| | |
| | 9. PARTIAL REPEAT COMMENT: THE LANDSCAPE DATA AND |
| | COMPLIANCE TABLES REQUIRED BY ARTICLE XIV OF THE ZONING |
| | AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS WERE PROVIDED ON THE |
| | PLANS; HOWEVER, NOT ALL OF THE INFORMATION WAS ACCURATE |
| | OR COMPLETE. ADDITIONALLY, NO PALM TREE SUBSTITUTION |
| | TABLES WERE PROVIDED ON THE PLANS. ARE THE UPRIGHT OAKS |
| | MENTIONED IN THE RESPONSE SUPPOSED TO BE ?HIGH RISE? |
| | OAKS? THE PLANTING PLAN CALLS OUT REGULAR OAK TREES, |
| | WHICH ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE IN THE TREE GRATE LOCATIONS. |
| | |
| | 10. REPEAT COMMENT: IT APPEARS THAT ALMOST HALF OF THE |
| | REQUIRED HOTEL SITE BUFFER LANDSCAPE IS NOT LOCATED ON |
| | THE HOTEL SITE, BUT RATHER ON THE CONVENTION CENTER OR |
| | THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | 11. PARTIAL REPEAT COMMENT: WHILE A LANDSCAPE BUFFER |
| | WAS PROVIDED ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE GARAGE, IT IS |
| | WITHIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND THE REQUIRED SIDEWALK HAS |
| | BEEN REMOVED. THE PALM TREES SHALL BE IN GROUPS OF |
| | THREE TO COUNT AS BUFFER TREES. |
| | |
| | 12. REPEAT COMMENT: THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE PLANTINGS ON |
| | THE EAST SIDE OF ALABAMA AVENUE SHALL BE CONTINUED THE |
| | FULL LENGTH OF THE PROPERTY TO THE REAR OF THE |
| | TOWNHOUSE UNITS AND MAINTAINED BY THE HOTEL. THIS AREA |
| | IS PART OF THE CITYPLACE PLAT WITHIN THE CITYPLACE DRI |
| | AND PLANTINGS SHALL BE INSTALLED TO HELP SCREEN THE |
| | GARAGE. |
| | |
| | 13. REPEAT COMMENT: THE PLANTING DETAILS DO NOT CLEARLY |
| | INDICATE THAT THE TOP OF THE ROOT BALL IS ABOVE THE |
| | SURROUNDING GRADE AT PLANTING. A NOTE SHALL BE ADDED TO |
| | THIS EFFECT AS OPPOSED TO PROVIDING THE SAME GRAPHIC |
| | AGAIN. |
| | |
| | 14. REPEAT COMMENT: THE PARKING SPACE TYPICAL WIDTH |
| | SHALL BE PROVIDED ON THE PARKING PLAN. THE PARKING |
| | WIDTH FOR THE ANGLE SPACES WAS NOT PROVIDED. PLEASE |
| | NOTE THAT THE DIMENSION DISTANCE ACROSS THE LENGTH OF |
| | THE ANGLED SPACES IS TOO SHORT (REQUIRES 14?8?) AND |
| | THUS THE ROW OF PARKING IS SUBSTANDARD AND SHALL COMPLY |
| | WITH THE REGULATIONS. THE ADDITIONAL AREA COULD COME |
| | OUT OF THE AREA SHOWN WITH A THREE (3) FOOT DIMENSION |
| | LINE. |
| | |
| | 15. REPEAT COMMENT: WHERE ARE THE MECHANICAL LIFTS |
| | COMING FROM THAT ARE SHOWN IN THE GARAGE? THE ADA |
| | PARKING SPACES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE FULL ACCESS TO |
| | THEM, WHICH MEANS FULL WIDTH DRIVE AISLES, NOT DRIVE |
| | AISLES RESTRICTED BY VALET PARKED CARS. THE FIRST FLOOR |
| | AISLE BETWEEN THE ADA SPACES AND THE EXIT GATE FORCE |
| | CARS INTO A SINGLE LANE WITH OPPOSITE TRAFFIC FLOW. THE |
| | REMAINING AREA MAY BE CONFIGURED IN A ONE-WAY PATTERN, |
| | EXCEPT ON THE RAMP. |
| | |
| | 16. PARTIAL REPEAT COMMENT: THE BICYCLE PARKING PAD |
| | SHOWN FOR THE HOTEL SHALL INCLUDE DIMENSIONS ON THE |
| | PLAN AND A BICYCLE RACK DETAIL SHOWING THE LENGTH AND |
| | WIDTH OF THE PAD AS WELL AS RACK ELEMENTS WHICH CONFORM |
| | TO CITY STANDARDS. ONE SHEET SHOWS BICYCLE PARKING BY |
| | THE WESTERN GARAGE CORNERS (NOT SHOWN ON ALL PLANS). |
| | THIS LOCATION DOES NOT CONFORM TO THE ZONING AND LAND |
| | DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS BICYCLE PARKING SITING CRITERIA |
| | AND IS LOCATED IN THE SIDEWALK. THESE APPEAR TO BE |
| | EXCESS BICYCLE PARKING SPACES IF SOME NEED TO BE |
| | REMOVED FROM THE GARAGE AREA. PROVIDE A BICYCLE PARKING |
| | REQUIREMENT CHART (1 PER 20 SPACES REQUIRED PARKING |
| | SPACES). |
| | |
| | 17. REPEAT COMMENT: HOW WILL GARBAGE COLLECTION BE |
| | HANDLED AT THE CONVENTION CENTER HOTEL? VERIFICATION |
| | THAT FROM THE CITY SANITATION DEPARTMENT THAT THE CITY |
| | GARBAGE TRUCKS WILL DRIVE INTO THE HOTEL LOADING AREA |
| | AND HAVE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE TO PICK UP THE GARBAGE IS |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 18. REPEAT COMMENT: AS PART OF THE RECONFIGURATION OF |
| | THE MEDIANS ALONG FLORIDA AVENUE, THE HOTEL SHALL ENTER |
| | INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO MAINTAIN THE MEDIANS |
| | AND RIGHT-OF-WAY PLANTINGS. |
| | |
| | 19. NEW COMMENT: THE ADDITION OF THE UTILITY LINES TO |
| | THE PLANS SHOWS CONFLICTS BETWEEN TREES AND THE LINES. |
| | PLEASE ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. |
| | |
| | 20. NEW COMMENT: THE OAK TREES LOCATED WITHIN THE TREE |
| | GRATES SHALL HAVE STRUCTURAL SOIL USED UNDERNEATH THE |
| | SURROUNDING SIDEWALK AREAS TO PROVIDE ROOT GROWTH |
| | AREAS. |
