HomeMy WebLinkAboutDRC - 042706 - HelipadDevelopment Review Committee Meeting Petition CUMJ- 06 -03- 000002 Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center Relocation of the Helipad Present at meeting: Kara Irwin, Planning Manager Nina Nikolova, Planner Mike Morrow, Operations Director Richard Marrero Planner Ross Gilmore, Forestry Technician Todd Engle, Interim Construction Services Director Judy Dye, LBFH Ann Booth of Urban Design Studio The meeting started at 1:11 PM Nina Nikolva opened the meeting and handed out the comment packets. Judy Dye submitted a list of comments and asked that Ann go through and respond to them in writing. Ann Booth asked for clarification on comment # 6 regarding the size the sidewalks need to be. Judy went over the site plan and explained how the sidewalk should be constructed. Ann also had a concern about comment # 7 with regard to parking spaces and wheel stops. There is a plan to ask for a waiver regarding the parking spaces. Ann asked if the construction plans can be submitted when applying for the permits and Judy stated they should have engineering plans as part of this process. Ann asked if this can be made a condition of approval because they are not available at this time. Judy agreed that the conditions will be written into the site plan approval for construction plan review and approval since the applicant had not contracted the engineering services as of this meeting. Ross Gilmore talked about his list of comments. Ann had a concern with comment #2 on Ross's list with regarding to putting up a wall to be used as a buffer. Ross stated that he would like a wall that would be a buffer because the noise could be a problem for the residents. Ann stated she would need to discuss this with the hospital but she doesn't really understand how the wall will buffer the noise because it would not be that tall. Mike Morrow does not think putting up a wall will mitigate the sound. He said the sound is going to bounce off of the wall and make it worse for some of the residents. Ann would like to look into increasing the height of the trees. Ross stated that they would possibly disregard the wall if they planted more trees and shrubs and made the area denser. There was discussion about where the flight path and where the helicopter will be landing. Ross went on to discuss the landscaping and asked that the hospital replace trees that were damaged in the hurricane. Ann asked for clarification regarding the location of the Palm Tran bus stop.. Mike Morrow showed her on the site plan and they discussed the specifics of the bus stop shelter and location.

JATD /tj cc: Brad Wiseman — PBG (bwiseman @pbgfl.com) Kara Irwin — PBG (kirwin @pbgfl.com) Anne Booth — Urban Design Studio (abooth @udsonline.com) P APBGTEMP \4450 \4450b. doc Memo to File From: Ross Gilmore, Forestry Technician Subject: CUMJ- 06 -03- 000002 Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center — Relocation of Helipad Date: April 25, 2006 I recommend approval of the above - referenced application with the following conditions of approval: 1. In accordance with Section 78 -315 of the LDR, a landscape island is required for every nine parking spaces located in a row. The applicant shall revise the site plan and landscape plan accordingly or ask for a waiver. 2. The applicant has requested a waiver to eliminate several shade trees from landscape islands adjacent to the helipad in order to not interfere with the flight path. In exchange for this waiver and the waiver to reduce the number of landscape islands, I recommend the installation of a wall extending along the entire length of the south property line and north along the east property line tying in to the existing wall. This wall will help buffer the surrounding residential units from the noise associated with the operations of the helipad. The wall shall be installed simultaneously with the construction of the helipad or within six months from the effective date of approval, whichever is shorter. 3. I recommend the applicant redesigns the proposed parking area, located adjacent to the ICU building, to create a divider median between the rows of head -to -head parking spaces. This can be accomplished by reducing the length of the parking stalls to 16 feet which allows the overhang area to be grassed or mulched. Trees can than be planted in this strip. Trees would than be located as if diamonds were used. This will provide additional room for tree root development, help to direct traffic flow, and match the design of the existing parking area. 4. Please revise the site plan and landscape plan to show the proposed flight path and the heights of all light poles located within the flight path. 5. Please revise the site plan and landscape plan to show the location of the helipad identification beacon, the wind indicator, and any associated lighting. 6. I anticipate a Condition of Approval which would require the applicant to replace all missing or damaged landscaping, as shown on the approved landscape plan for the property, within six months of the effective date of approval.
