| | GENERAL |
| | |

| | 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 |

| | |
| | 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? |
