| 2018-01-10 09:37:04 | THE TRANSPORTATION DIVISION REQUESTS ADDITIONAL TIME TO |
| | REVIEW THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STATEMENT. OUR PRELIMINARY |
| | COMMENTS FOLLOW: |
| | |
| | TPS ANALYSIS |
| | THE ANALYSIS IS FOR PCN 74-43-43-28-10-011-0010, WHICH |
| | IS 3.1901 ACRES PER THE PROPERTY APPRAISER INFORMATION |
| | PROVIDED IN THE STUDY. 3.0191 * 32.27 DU/ACRE (WHICH IS |
| | REQUESTED) = 103 UNITS NOT 173 UNITS. PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | JUSTIFICATION FOR THE USE OF 173 DWELLING UNITS. |
| | |
| | SITE SPECIFIC TIS |
| | IT APPEARS THAT THE COMMITTED DEVELOPMENT TRIPS USED |
| | FOR THE ANALYSIS WHERE ONLY OBTAINED FROM THE PALM |
| | BEACH COUNTY DATABASE. COMMITTED DEVELOPMENT STUDIES |
| | SHOULD BE OBTAINED FROM THE CITY AND INCLUDED IN THE |
| | ANALYSIS. |
| | |
| | THE DISTRIBUTION OF TRAFFIC ASSUMES THAT NO TRAFFIC |
| | WILL USE OKEECHOBEE ROAD TO ENTER OR EXIT THE SITE. |
| | GIVEN EXISTING PATTERNS AND THE CONNECTION OF |
| | OKEECHOBEE ROAD TO PARKER AVENUE FURTHER NORTH THAN |
| | CAROLINE STREET, A PORTION OF THE TRAFFIC WILL MOST |
| | LIKELY USE OKEECHOBEE ROAD TO ENTER AND EXIT THE SITE |
| | IF DESTINED TO/FROM THE NORTH. THEREFORE, THE ANALYSIS |
| | SHOULD BE REVISED ACCORDINGLY. |
| | |
| | COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT TRAFFIC ANALYSIS |
| | INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR |
| | THE INTERSECTIONS OF PARKER AVENUE AT CAROLINE STREET |
| | AND AT THE INTERSECTION OF PARKER AVENUE AT OKEECHOBEE |
| | ROAD ASSUMING THE FULL BUILDOUT OF THE PARCELS WITH THE |
| | ADOPTION OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT. THIS WILL |
| | HELP IDENTIFY THE IMPACTS OF THE FULL DEVELOPMENT ON |
| | THOSE NEARBY INTERSECTIONS. |
| | |
| | |
| | WE ANTICIPATE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL COMMENTS NEXT WEEK. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1-29-2018 |
| | 1) PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION |
| | 94-207-B-13. - PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (PD) DISTRICT - THE |
| | APPLICANT SHALL DEMONSTRATE THAT THE PROJECT REQUIRING |
| | SUCH A WAIVER (PARKING) SHALL CONFORM TO THE CONCEPTS |
| | OF NEW URBANISM. |
| | THE PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION NETWORK IS LACKING THE |
| | CONCEPTS OF NEW URBANISM. THE FOLLOWING IMPROVEMENTS |
| | WILL ASSIST IN THE PROJECT CONFORMING TO THE CONCEPTS |
| | OF NEW URBANISM: |
| | - REDUCE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING DISTANCE AT ALL |
| | INTERSECTIONS. THERE MAY BE OPPORTUNITIES TO SQUARE UP |
| | OR ADD CHANNELIZING ISLANDS AT THE INTERSECTIONS OF |
| | ELIZABETH / WILKINS AND WILKINS / CLARE AND TO ALSO ADD |
| | LANDSCAPE BULB OUTS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET |
| | FROM THE SITE. |
| | - CLARE AVENUE ? BLOCK IS EXTREMELY LONG. ADD MIDBLOCK |
| | CROSSING. |
| | - ADD CROSSWALKS AND CURB RAMPS ON OTHER SIDE OF STREET |
| | FROM SITE TO ALLOW PEDESTRIANS TO WALK TO THE SITE. |
| | - THERE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PARALLEL PARKING SPACES |
| | WITHOUT A LANDSCAPING BREAK. HOW WILL SHADE BE PROVIDED |
| | FOR PEDESTRIANS TO HAVE A COMFORTABLE WALK? THERE ARE |
| | NO SHADE TREES PROPOSED ALONG THE SIDEWALK. CONSIDER |
| | THE ADDITION OF SHADE TREES IN THE SIDEWALK AT THE END |
| | OF EACH PARKING SPACE AND IN THE LANDSCAPE STREET |
| | BULBOUTS. SIDEWALK COULD BE WIDENED INTO BUFFER TO |
| | ALLOW PASSING DISTANCE AT EACH TREE. |
| | - CONSIDER UNDERGROUND STORAGE OF STORMWATER ON THE |
| | WEST END OF THE SITE INSTEAD OF THE PROPOSED DRY |
| | RETENTION. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE AREA TO USED AS A |
| | PLAZA. IF DRY DETENTION IS RETAINED THEN CONSIDER |
| | PROVIDING A WIDER SIDEWALK ALONG WILKINS AND |
| | INTEGRATING IT INTO THE DRY DETENTION AREA. |
| | 2) SITE PLAN |
| | - SHEET FSP-2 THE SIDEWALK IS SHOWN FLARING OUT AT THE |
| | GARAGE ENTRANCE ON CLARE AVENUE. THE SIDEWALK SHALL |
| | REMAIN INLINE AND AT THE SAME LEVEL AS THE REST OF THE |
| | SIDEWALK AT THE GARAGE ENTRANCE. |
| | - PARALLEL PARKING SPACES ON BLANCHE STREET DO NOT MEET |
| | THE MINIMUM MUTCD PARKING RESTRICTIONS FROM A CROSSWALK |
| | LINE. |
| | - A LANDSCAPE BULBOUT IS MISSING FROM THE CORNER OF |
| | CLARE AND BLANCHE. |
| | - REDUCE PROPOSED ON STREET TRAVEL LANES TO 10?. USE |
| | LANE REDUCTION TO WIDEN SIDEWALK. |
| | - SOME OF THE ON STREET PARKING EXCEEDS AN 8?WIDTH. USE |
| | 8? WIDE PARALLEL PARKING ON STREET. |
| | - FSP-2. A 12? THROAT IS INSUFFICIENT AT GARAGE GATE AS |
| | IT WILL CAUSE CARS TO BLOCK A PORTION OF THE SIDEWALK |
| | WHEN THE SIDEWALK IS IN LINE WITH THE REST OF THE |
| | SIDEWALK. |
| | 3) TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS (T.I.A.) |
| | - INTERSECTION ANALYSES DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE DELAY |
| | AND OPERATION ISSUES THAT OCCUR TO DUE SFRT TRAIN |
| | CROSSING. REVISE ANALYSIS TO ACCOUNT FOR SFRT |
| | CROSSINGS. |
| | - TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS STATES THAT THE ANALYSIS WAS |
| | PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH PALM BEACH COUNTY |
| | STANDARDS. IN ADDITION TO PALM BEACH COUNTY STANDARDS, |
| | THE ANALYSIS MUST BE REVISED TO BE ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH ORDINANCE |
| | 94-311 TRAFFIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS. |
| | - TRIP ASSIGNMENT IS NOT CONSISTENT BETWEEN |
| | COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND SITE ANALYSIS. |
| | - SITE PLAN TRIP ASSIGNMENT DID NOT ASSIGN ANY TRIPS TO |
| | AUSTRALIAN SOUTH OF THE SITE. THIS IS NOT LOGICAL. |
| | - INTERSECTION OF AUSTRALIAN AND MERCER WAS NOT |
| | ANALYZED. PROVIDE INTERSECTION ANALYSIS. |
| | - SITE T.I.A. TABLE 1 PASS BY. CHECK TABLE AS THERE |
| | APPEARS TO BE AN ARITHMETIC ERROR. |
| | - SITE T.I.A. PAGE 10, PROVIDE BACKGROUND INFORMATION |
| | ON HOW THE 2.31 % GROWTH RATE WAS CALCULATED. |
| | - PASS BY HAS BEEN INCORRECTLY CALCULATED. PASS BY HAS |
| | INCORRECTLY BEEN REMOVED FROM THE INTERSECTION TURNING |
| | MOVEMENTS INTO THE SITE. PASS BY CAN ONLY BE REMOVED |
| | FROM THE THROUGH MOVEMENTS THAT ARE DIVERTING FROM |
| | THEIR THROUGH TRIP TO ACCESS THE SITE. |
| | - PARKING STUDY ? PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND ON THE |
| | TEXAS SITES USED IN THE STUDY AND HOW THEY ARE |
| | CORRELATED TO THE SITE. |
| | |
| | UPDATE 2/14/2018 - MET WITH CHRIS HEGGEN AND MICHELLE |
| | CUETARA. INFORMED THEM THAT ELIZABETH AVENUE IS ON THE |
| | BICYCLE MASTER PLAN.STAFF REQUESTED THAT A BIKE LANE BE |
| | CONSTRUCTED ALONG THE APPLICANT'S FRONTAGE. ADDITIONAL |
| | ON-STREET PARKING WOULD HAVE TO BE CONSTRUCTED OUTSIDE |
| | OF THE RIGHT OF WAY. |
