| 2018-02-13 17:56:05 | 1 - FDOT HAS A FOUR TO THREE LANE ROADWAY LANE |
| | REPURPOSING PROJECT PROGRAMMED FOR S. DIXIE HIGHWAY. |
| | ENGINEERING STAFF WILL PROVIDE PROPOSED FDOT TYPICAL |
| | SECTION TO ALLOW PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO BE |
| | CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FDOT LANE ELIMINATION |
| | DESIGN. |
| | 2 - S. DIXIE IS A FDOT ROADWAY AND WILL REQUIRE FDOT |
| | PERMITS FOR THE DRIVEWAYS AND WORK IN THE FDOT RIGHT OF |
| | WAY. |
| | 3 - CONCEPTUAL CIVIL ENGINEERING PLANS. ADD TYPICAL |
| | SECTION WITH WIDTHS FOR HAMPTON ROAD. IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH FLORIDA GREENBOOK, A 6' WIDE SIDEWALK MUST BE |
| | PROVIDED WHEN THE SIDEWALK IS BEHIND A CURB. |
| | 4 - THE ARCHITECTURAL RENDERINGS FOR S. DIXIE HIGHWAY |
| | DO NOT SHOW OVERHEAD ELECTRICAL LINES. WILL THE |
| | ELECTRIC BE UNDERGROUNDED? |
| | 5 - AN EASEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR SIDEWALK ALONG S. |
| | DIXIE THAT IS OUTSIDE OF RIGHT OF WAY. |
| | 6 - SITE PLAN - LABEL OVERALL S. DIXIE RIGHT OF WAY |
| | WIDTH AND DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF RIGHT OF WAY. |
| | 7 - PARALLEL PARKING ON S. DIXIE NEAR RETAIL PARKING |
| | DOES NOT MEET FDOT PARKING RESTRICTIONS. SOME PARALLEL |
| | PARKING WILL HAVE TO BE ELIMINATED. |
| | 7B - S. DIXIE RETAIL PARKING LOT. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A |
| | VEHICLE TO CROSS THE GORE OUT CENTER TURN LANE TAPER. A |
| | PLANTED RAISED MEDIAN WOULD ELIMINATE ILLEGAL TURNS |
| | INTO THE RETAIL PARKING LOT. |
| | 8 - PROVIDE AN EXHIBIT OF PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION ROUTE |
| | FROM RESIDENTIAL UNITS TO BUS STOP AND SKY BIKE |
| | STATION. |
| | 9 - WILL ELECTRIC BE UNDERGROUNDED ON HAMPTON? WILL |
| | EXISTING POLES INTERFERE WITH SIDEWALK, TREES, AND |
| | ON-STREET PARKING? |
| | 10 - THE ENTRANCE PROPOSED ON HAMPTON IS TOO CLOSE TO |
| | THE RAILROAD GATE AND IS NOT SAFE. THE ENTRANCE NEEDS |
| | TO BE MOVED OUTSIDE OF THE FUNCTIONAL AREA OF THE RAIL |
| | CROSSING AND TO ALLOW OPERATION OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN |
| | CARS ARE QUEUED DURING RAIL CLOSINGS. |
| | 11 - THE PROPOSED ENTRANCE ON HAMPTON IS SHOWN AS |
| | GATED. A TURNAROUND MUST BE PROVIDED AND QUEUING |
| | ANALYSIS MUST BE PROVIDED. |
| | 12 - THE PROPOSED SHARED PARKING WITH THE RETAIL LOT |
| | WILL NOT BE EFFECTIVE AS THE LOT DOESN'T CONNECT TO THE |
| | RESIDENTIAL. |
| | 13 - SITE DESIGN REQUIRES RESIDENTIAL USERS THAT ARE |
| | UTILIZING RETAIL LOT TO REENTER S. DIXIE TO ACCESS |
| | THEIR RESIDENTIAL PARKING. FORCING INTERNAL TRIPS TO |
| | REENTER S. DIXIE IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE |
| | COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT. |
| | 14 - TRAFFIC STUDY NEEDS TO BE REVISED TO BE IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH CITY OF WEST PALM ORDINANCES ARTICLE |
| | 94-311. TRAFFIC STUDY HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED AND WILL BE |
| | REVIEWED AGAIN WITH RESUBMITTAL. |
| | 15 - THE PROPOSED TRAFFIC CIRCULATION IS NOT CONSISTENT |
| | WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT. AN |
| | INTERNAL ROAD PARALLEL TO S. DIXIE AND OPEN TO THE |
| | PUBLIC SHOULD BE PROVIDED ON THE SITE. IN ADDITION THE |
| | INTERNAL ROAD SHOULD ALLOW FOR A FUTURE CONNECTION TO |
| | THE PARCEL TO THE NORTH. THE APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE |
| | COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT REGARDING |
| | INTERCONNECTIVITY OF STREETS ARE: |
| | |
| | POLICY 2.3.2(A): THE CITY SHALL REDUCE THE NEED FOR |
| | WIDENING MAJOR AND MINOR THOROUGHFARES BY ENCOURAGING |
| | THE PLACEMENT OF A WELL INTER-CONNECTED SYSTEM OF |
| | STREETS. WHERE AN INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM BECOMES |
| | POSSIBLE, CARE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO A COMMUNITY'S QUALITY |
| | OF LIFE, THE AMOUNT OF THROUGH-TRAFFIC, THE IMPACTS ON |
| | SAFETY, AND OVERALL SECURITY. |
| | |
| | POLICY 2.3.2(B): THE CITY SHALL DISCOURAGE THE USE OF |
| | DEAD-END STREETS, LOOP STREETS, AND OVERSIZED BLOCKS IN |
| | FAVOR OF THROUGH-STREETS AND SHORTER BLOCKS; PROVIDE |
| | CUT-THROUGHS FOR PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO TRANSIT; AND |
| | PROMOTE LANDSCAPING OF RIGHTS-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | POLICY 2.3.2(C): THE CITY SHALL ENCOURAGE NEW |
| | DEVELOPMENTS TO INCLUDE: 1) AN INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM OF |
| | STREETS IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT PLANS WHICH CONSIDER |
| | APPROPRIATE ADJACENT PARCELS WITH POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE |
| | COMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENTS; 2) STUB STREETS THAT CONNECT |
| | TO ADJACENT UNDEVELOPED PARCELS WITH A POTENTIAL FOR |
| | FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS; AND 3) STUB STREETS THAT TIE INTO |
| | EXISTING ADJACENT STUB STREETS. |
| | |
| | 16 - SUGGEST HAVING BUILDINGS FRONT HAMPTON ROAD |
| | INSTEAD OF PARKING LOT |
