| | PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT |
| | |
| | THIS IS A CONCEPTUAL LEVEL REVIEW. CONSTRUCTION LEVEL |
| | DETAILS, DESIGN CALCULATIONS AND THE POLLUTION |
| | PREVENTION PLAN WILL BE REVIEWED AS PART OF THE |
| | ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL AND BUILDING PERMIT |
| | APPLICATION PROCESSES. THE ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT |
| | APPROVAL APPLICATION FORMS CAN BE DOWNLOADED AT |
| | HTTP://WPB.ORG/ENGINEERING/FORMS-AND-PUBLICATIONS/ |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS MUST BE ADDRESSED PRIOR TO SITE |
| | PLAN APPROVAL. |
| | |
| | 1. A DETAILED TRAFFIC ANALYSIS WILL BE REQUIRED FOR |
| | THIS PROJECT SHOWING HOW THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WILL |
| | AFFECT THE TRAFFIC VOLUME AND SURROUNDING LOCAL |
| | ROADWAYS. INCLUDE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT DATA FOR AFFECTED |
| | STREET CORRIDORS. ESTIMATE INCREASED OR DECREASED |
| | POTENTIAL. SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS SHALL BE RECOMMENDED |
| | WHERE NECESSARY. |
| | |
| | 2. REGARDING THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS: |
| | |
| | A. THE TRIP DISTRIBUTION OF 47% NORTH AND 53% SOUTH |
| | SEEMS TO BE COUNTER INTUITIVE. PLEASE JUSTIFY WHY MORE |
| | OF THE TRIPS ARE ASSUMED TO BE GOING SOUTH. BOTH |
| | DOWNTOWN AND I-95 (THROUGH BELVEDERE) ARE ACCESSIBLE TO |
| | THE NORTH OF THE PROJECT. |
| | |
| | B. THE ANALYSIS SHOWS OVER 1,070 DAILY TRIPS USE |
| | HAMPTON ROAD TO ENTER / EXIT THE PROJECT. HAMPTON IS A |
| | SMALL ROAD WITH AN UNSIGNALIZED INTERSECTION AT DIXIE. |
| | WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS INTERSECTION (AND HAMPTON IN |
| | GENERAL) MAY BE OVERBURDENED AS A RESULT OF THIS |
| | PROJECT. |
| | |
| | C. THE ANALYSIS INDICATES THE PERCENTAGE OF PEAK HOUR |
| | TRIPS FOR THIS PROJECT WILL BE LESS THAN 7.5% OF THE |
| | TOTAL DAILY TRIPS. THIS APPEARS TO BE VERY LOW FOR A |
| | PRIMARILY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT. PLEASE PROVIDE THE |
| | ASSUMPTIONS USED TO ARRIVE AT THE NUMBER OF DAILY |
| | TRIPS. |
| | |
| | 3. PLEASE SUBMIT ESTIMATES FOR THE PEAK POTABLE WATER |
| | DEMAND, SANITARY SEWER FLOW, AND SOLID WASTE COLLECTION |
| | YARDAGE. |
| | |
| | 4. A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE |
| | NON-STANDARD ELEMENTS (TREES AND TREE GRATES; PAVERS, |
| | ETC.) PROPOSED WITHIN GARDENIA RIGHT-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | 5. PLEASE PROVIDE AN AUTOTURN ANALYSIS DEMONSTRATING |
| | THE SOLID WASTE COLLECTION VEHICLE CAN ACCESS THE |
| | PROPOSED DUMPSTER AND COMPACTOR LOCATIONS. THE TRASH |
| | DUMPSTER/COMPACTORS MUST LOCATED IN AREAS EASILY |
| | SERVICED BY THE CITY SANITATION EQUIPMENT AND MANPOWER |
| | PER SECTION 74-35(A)(5) OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. IF A |
| | ROLL-OFF COMPACTOR IS PROPOSED, PLEASE PROVIDE A LETTER |
| | FROM THE PRIVATE PROVIDER VERIFYING THAT THEY CAN |
| | PROVIDE SERVICE WITH THE CONFIGURATION SHOWN ON THE |
| | PLANS. |
| | |
| | 6. PRIOR TO THE START OF CONSTRUCTION, APPROVAL IS |
| | REQUIRED FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION |
| | (FDOT) FOR THE DRAINAGE CONNECTION TO THE DIXIE SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 7. THE CITY WILL EVALUATE THE CONDITION OF THE EXISTING |
| | OFF-SITE UTILITIES WITHIN THE NEXT 30 DAYS. IT IS |
| | RECOMMENDED THAT THE RESULT OF THE EVALUATION BE |
| | INCORPORATED INTO FINAL POTABLE WATER AND SANITARY |
| | DESIGN. |
| | |
| | 8. WHERE ARE THE GREASE TRAPS PROPOSED TO BE LOCATED |
| | FOR THE RESTAURANTS? THE DESIGN MUST COMPLY WITH CITY |
| | ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARD GS-7 OR GS-7.1. SAMPLING |
| | PORTS MUST BE LOCATED ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. |
| | HTTP://WPB.ORG/ENGINEERING/ENGINEERING-SERVICES/ENGINEE |
| | RING-STANDARDS/ |
| | |
| | 9. PLEASE INDICATE WHERE THE MASTER METER WILL BE |
| | LOCATED FOR THE PROJECT. THE METER WILL NEED TO BE |
| | LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY OR WITHIN AN |
| | EASEMENT IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | 10. THE CITY WILL NOT BE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF UTILITIES |
| | LOCATED WITHIN THE PARCEL WHICH SERVE ONLY THIS |
| | DEVELOPMENT. |
| | |
| | 11. ARE THE OUTPARCEL PROPOSED TO BE LEASED OR FEE |
| | SIMPLE? |
| | |
| | 12. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE AVAILABLE WATER PRESSURE |
| | WITHIN THE CITY MAY NOT BE ACCEPTABLE AT ELEVATIONS |
| | HIGHER THAN THE 2ND FLOOR. WE RECOMMEND THAT A |
| | LONG-TERM PRESSURE STUDY BE PERFORMED ON THE POTABLE |
| | WATER LINES PRIOR TO FINALIZATION OF THE DESIGN. |
| | |
| | 13. VERIFY THAT THE PROPOSED SIZE AND QUANTITY OF TRASH |
| | BINS IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE WASTE YARDAGE ANTICIPATED |
| | TO BE GENERATED BY THE COMPLEX. CONSIDER USING A |
| | COMPACTOR TO REDUCE THE YARDAGE OF WASTE THAT WILL NEED |
| | TO BE COLLECTED. IF A COMPACTOR LARGER THAN 8 CUBIC |
| | YARDS IS PROPOSED, PLEASE PROVIDE A LETTER FROM THE |
| | APPROPRIATE PRIVATE SERVICE PROVIDER STATING THEY HAVE |
| | REVIEWED THE PROPOSED SITE PLAN AND WILL BE ABLE TO |
| | SERVICE THE COMPACTOR IN THE PROPOSED LOCATION. |
| | |
| | 14. PER SECTION 2.21.2 OF THE CITY RIGHT OF WAY |
| | STANDARDS MANUAL, PROJECTS WHICH DISTURB 40% OR MORE OF |
| | A ROADWAY (LINEAR FOOTAGE) PER BLOCK WILL BE REQUIRED |
| | TO MILL AND RESURFACE THE ENTIRE BLOCK. PLEASE INCLUDE |
| | MILLING AND RESURFACING OF THE HAMPTON ROAD ON THE |
| | CONSTRUCTION PLANS. |
| | |
