In accordance with Section 78 -315 (g) of the LDR, multilevel parking garages shall have planters installed to permit installation of trees on the top level of the structure. The top parking area shall have trees as required in section 78 -313. The landscape plan submitted does not indicate the number or placement of the planters and trees, although it does include a detail of the sub irrigated pots. Please revise the landscape plan to show the number, placement, species and size of the trees and the planters. 2. The private water main indicated on the landscape plan is relocated from its present location. Please indicate all landscaping that will be affected by this and indicate a limits of construction line around the proposed project. 3. There is an area on the landscape plan at the northeast corner of the proposed LL parking garage where an existing F box is located, and not shown on this plan. Please indicate whether this will stay in its present location and be screened from view, or where it will be moved to. 4. Based on the heavy landscaping to screen the building, and the limited space available to do so, there is concern that utilities may affect the placement of some of the landscaping. Please provide a letter of assurance from the utilities that the landscape plan will not change due to conflicts with said utilities. Also, please understand that additional information may be requested, and staff may have additional comments as the review process continues. PALM BEACH GARDENS POLICE DEPARTMENT SPECIAL OPERATIONS BUREAU INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: TALAL BENOTHMAN FROM: OFFICER JULES BARONE SUBJECT: DOWNTOWN AT THE GARDENS PUD AMENDMENT PETITION #3 DATE: DECEMBER 12, 2006 Parking Garage Parking garages are high priority security areas. Parking garages comprise a large area with relatively low levels of activity; with this in mind the Police Department makes the following comments: 1) Lighting is universally considered to be the most important security in a parking garage and serves as an excellent deterrent to potential criminal activity. Lighting recommendations are as follows: ➢ Shall adhere to the IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) standards for garages. ➢ Design shall incorporate both vertical and horizontal luminance. ➢ Lighting shall extend into parking stalls and over vehicles rather than just into driving aisles. ➢ The exterior of garage shall be well lighted on all sides. ➢ Metal Halide lighting shall be used for the interior of garage. ➢ Position light fixtures to minimize glare to drivers and enhance depth perception, and should be vandalism resistant. 2) Ground level pedestrian exits that open into non - secure areas should be emergency exits only, fitted with panic bar hardware and install "local" alarm that activates if ground level door is opened (when exit is intended for emergency use only). 3) Stairwells shall be designed to be completely visible from either interior or exterior. ➢ Stairwells shall have open metal handrails and steps. Areas beneath stairways at ground level shall be fully enclosed or access to them limited. ➢ Interior doors to stairwells shall have fire light glass doors - vision panel of one hundred square inches with a minimum 5" width. ➢ Convex mirrors and video surveillance cameras shall be installed in each stairwell. 4) Elevators with at least one shaft wall exposed to the exterior shall have clear glazing installed in the one wall to provide visibility into the elevator cab or one or more of the following: video camera shall be installed in each elevator cab, install shatter resistant mirrors, equally reflective material so placed as to make entire cab interior visible to entering visitors. 5) Applicant shall install a video camera on the second floor pedestrian walkway /bridge and lobby area to capture pedestrians walking to or from rear of cinema. 6) Applicant shall install a video camera at exit /entry to parking facility to capture in /outbound vehicle traffic. 7) Applicant should assign parking facility a specific identifier displayed at main entrance using numbers /letters of twelve inches in height and of contrasting color. 8) Directional signage, including floor designation and section, shall be provided to expedite movement through facility. Signage shall be displayed not less than 60 inches from parking surface and highly visible from within any portion of the facility. cc: Chief Stepp Files h �s I a c iE 4` �1 gl Amt. lj �. aye', y � �� .r,�sr� s •' -. e t t �� •. r �_ f �t� i i ��,. ��' � ��� 4 � J "q ii �� L a ii' 1 (. �.' .` I l �.'
