| | 1. THIS PROPOSED PROJECT IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT |
| | THAN THE CURRENTLY APPROVED SITE PLAN; THEREFORE, IT IS |
| | NOT A ?MODIFICATION TO THE EXISTING APPROVED SITE PLAN? |
| | AS STATED IN THE JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT, BUT RATHER A |
| | NEW SITE PLAN APPROVAL. THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SITE |
| | PLAN AND THE VARIANCES THAT WERE GRANTED DO NOT |
| | AUTOMATICALLY APPLY TO THE NEW SITE PLAN. ANY VARIANCES |
| | THAT ARE REQUIRED BASED ON THE NEW BUILDING DESIGN AND |
| | SITE LAYOUT REQUIRE APPROVAL BY THE DOWNTOWN ACTION |
| | COMMITTEE THROUGH THE VARIANCE PROCESS. |

| | B. THE AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE INDICATES THAT |
| | PALM BEACH COUNTY WILL RETAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE |
| | INTERMODAL TRANSIT CENTER TO A POINT 21 FEET IN THE |
| | AIR. THE APPLICATION DOES NOT MENTION HOW THIS PROPOSED |
| | SUBDIVISION WILL OCCUR. |
| | C. THE JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT INDICATES THAT THE |
| | AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE INCLUDES THE SFRTA, YET |
| | THEY ARE NOT SHOWN AS A PARTY TO STAFF?S COPY OF THE |
| | AGREEMENT. WILL THE SFRTA RETAIN ANY OWNERSHIP AND IF |
| | SO, HOW WILL THE PARCEL BE SUBDIVIDED? |

| | A. PROPOSED OPEN SPACE AT THE SOUTHERN TRIANGLE OF THE |
| | SITE DOES NOT MEET PUBLIC OR PRIVATE OPEN SPACE |
| | TYPOLOGY DUE TO LACK OF ABUTMENT TO AN ACTIVE USE. |
| | B. THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE SHOWN ON THE SECOND LEVEL |
| | REQUIRES THE APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE, SIMILAR TO THE ONE |
| | APPROVED AS PART OF THE CURRENTLY APPROVED SITE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 15. STREET TREES: STREET TREES SHALL BE PLANTED AT 30 |
| | FT. INTERVALS ALONG EACH STREET FRONTAGE. CLEARWATER |

| | RESIDENTIAL TOWER ON CLEARWATER IS OUTSIDE OF PROPERTY |
| | LINES AND ENCROACHES INTO CITY ROW. ADDITIONAL SMALLER |
| | DROP-OFF ADJACENT TO LOADING BAY/BACK-OF-HOUSE. WHY ARE |
| | THESE DROP-OFF SPACES NEEDED FOR THE RESIDENTIAL TOWER? |
| | ADJACENT HOTEL/OFFICE ALSO INCLUDES A SMALL DROP-OFF, |
| | PRESENTS STACKING/QUEUING ISSUES AND SPILL OVER INTO |
| | CLEARWATER. STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT THE RESIDENTIAL |
| | DROP-OFF ROAD ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL TOWER/CLEARWATER |

| | BACK-OF-HOUSE TO INCLUDE THE DRIVEWAY AND DROP OFF |
| | AREA. |
| | B. SEE ABOVE: PROPOSED LOADING SPACE ON RESIDENTIAL |
| | TOWER DOES NOT FUNCTION FOR VEHICULAR MOVEMENT. |
| | |
| | 17. ITC BUS LOOP IS NOW ENTIRELY COVERED OVERHEAD BY |
| | PLAZA AND BUILDINGS/STRUCTURES. PREVIOUS DESIGN HAD AN |
| | OPEN-AIR CORRIDOR TO PROVIDE LIGHT, LANDSCAPING, AND |
| | VENTILATION/OPEN-AIR ACCESS. HOW WILL THE REMOVAL OF |
| | THESE ELEMENTS BE MITIGATED OR COMPENSATED FOR, |
| | ESPECIALLY WHERE ANY MECHANICAL VENTING WILL BE |
| | LOCATED? |
| | |
| | 18. PLEASE PROVIDE SHEETS AND DRAWINGS IDENTIFYING HOW |

| | THERE A REASON FOR UNVARIED/SIMILARLY DESIGNED TOWERS? |
| | |
| | 21. REGARDING THE TOWERS AND OVERALL PROJECT HEIGHT, |
| | STAFF REQUESTS THAT THE BANYAN RESIDENTIAL TOWER IS THE |
| | TALLEST RATHER THAN THE CLEARWATER HOTEL/OFFICE TOWER. |
| | THIS IS BECAUSE BANYAN IS THE WIDEST ROADWAY AND IS |
| | MORE APPROPRIATELY FRAMED/CAN ACCOMMODATE THE TALLER |
| | MASS. ADDITIONALLY, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE BANYAN |
| | RESIDENTIAL TOWER STEPS DOWN IN SOME CAPACITY TOWARD |
| | TAMARIND AVE. AS WAS APPROVED WITHIN THE ORIGINAL SITE |
| | PLAN. THIS GIVES RESPECT TO THE SCALE OF THE SEABOARD |
| | TRAIN STATION AND PUBLIC REALM ALONG TAMARIND. |
| | |
| | 22. BE COGNIZANT THAT THE EDGE 2 BUILDING LOCATED AT |
| | 300 CLEARWATER IS APPROVED AND UNDERGOING BUILDING |
| | PERMITTING PROCESS, THIS PROJECT?S INGRESS/EGRESS FROM |
| | DRIVES MAY PRESENT CONFLICT POINTS. THE GROUND LEVEL |
| | PLANS NEED TO SHOW THE EDGE 2 CURB CUTS IN ORDER FOR |
| | STAFF TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF THE ACCESS POINTS TO |
| | CLEARWATER. ADDITIONALLY, THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION |
| | FROM THE ?OASIS? PARK ELEMENT ACROSS CLEARWATER TO THE |
| | STAIRWELL/ELEVATOR FOR THE UPPER PLAZA WILL NEED |
| | RECONSIDERATION WITH THE INCOMING DEVELOPMENT. |
| | |
| | 23. PLEASE CLARIFY GROUND FLOOR PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION |
| | WITH ITC, ACCESSING UPPER PLAZA SPACES, AND INTERNAL |
| | CIRCULATION BETWEEN RETAIL AND RESIDENTIAL TOWERS. IS |
| | THE ITC BUS LOOP SEPARATED/CLOSED OFF IN THE EVENINGS |

| | TO ACCESS THE UPPER PLAZA SPACES? |
| | A. THE ITC ADA PATH DRAWING SUBMITTED WITH THE |
| | APPLICATION SHOWS THE ADA ROUTE UTILIZING A CROSSWALK |
| | THAT IS DESIGNATED FOR REMOVAL. |
| | B. THE ITC FENCE EXHIBIT SHOWS THE FENCE AROUND THE |
| | OPEN SPACE AT THE SOUTH END OF THE SITE AS A ?PRIVATE |
| | PARK FENCE?. THIS DOES NOT MATCH THIS AS BEING DEPICTED |
| | AS PUBLIC OPEN SPACE ON OTHER PLANS. |
| | |
| | 24. STAFF WILL BE RECOMMENDING PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS |
| | AND INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY TO TAMARIND AND THE |
| | DOWNTOWN AREA. AS A TOD PROJECT, YOU MUST DEMONSTRATE |
| | HOW THE RELATION AND CONNECTIVITY IS IMPROVED TO THESE |
| | CORRIDORS INTO THE DOWNTOWN. RECOMMEND POTENTIAL: WORK |
| | WITH SFRTA TO IMPLEMENT AT-GRADE CONNECTION(S) ACROSS |
| | RAILS TO TAMARIND. IMPROVE THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE |
| | CONNECTING SEABOARD TRAIN STATION AND TRANSIT VILLAGE |
| | PROJECT. EXPLORE CONCEPT OF ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN |
| | BRIDGES OR CONNECTIONS. |
| | |
| | 25. PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION ON WHAT THE ?MOTOR |
| | LOBBY? IS. |
| | |
| | 26. THE SOUTH RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IS NOT PERMITTED TO |
| | ENCROACH THE 20-FOOT FIRE DEPARTMENT ACCESS EASEMENT. |
| | NOTE: EVEN WITHOUT THE BUILDING ENCROACHMENT, THIS DOES |
| | NOT FUNCTION. |
| | |
| | 27. PROVIDE TURNING DIAGRAMS FOR THE LOADING AREAS |
| | UNDER THE NORTH BUILDING, ENTRY POINTS TO THE SITE AND |
| | THE OTHER LOADING AREAS. |
| | |

| | ACCORDANCE WITH CITY CODE REQUIREMENTS? |
| | |
| | 29. PLEASE CONSIDER USING SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE |
| | SUCH AS ROOFTOP SOLAR OR RAINWATER CAPTURE/REUSE |
| | CISTERNS. |
| | |
| | 30. SHEET A6-01 SHOWS PUBLIC OPEN SPACES EXTENDING INTO |
| | THE BUS LANE. |
| | |
| | 31. FOR THE EVENTUAL DOWNTOWN ACTION COMMITTEE (DAC) |
| | MEETING, PLEASE PROVIDE FULLY DETAILED RENDERINGS AND |
| | PERSPECTIVE DRAWINGS OF THE FINAL PROJECT. |
| | 32. PROVIDE A PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION PLAN TO SHOW HOW |
| | THE SITE WILL BE DEVELOPED WHILE MAINTAINING ITC |
| | OPERATIONS, TO INCLUDE PARKING. ADDITIONALLY, PROVIDE |
| | THE PRELIMINARY PLAN FOR EMPLOYEE AND CONTRACTOR |
| | PARKING DURING CONSTRUCTION. |
| | |
| | 33. THERE ARE COLUMN LOCATIONS THAT WHEN COMBINED WITH |
| | THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED ITC FENCE CREATE CHOKE |
| | POINTS FOR THE BUS PATRONS AS THEY CHANGE BETWEEN |
| | ROUTES. WHILE THEY ALL APPEAR TO COMPLY WITH ADA |
| | MINIMUMS, THEY DO NOT PROVIDE COMFORTABLE PEDESTRIAN |
| | WIDTHS FOR TWO USERS TO PASS SIDE-BY-SIDE. PLEASE |
| | REVIEW. |
| | |
| | 34. THE SITE, LANDSCAPE AND CIVIL PLANS ALL NEED TO |
| | SHOW CONSISTENT, CODE COMPLIANT CONDITIONS. |
