MILITARY TRAIL • PALM BEACH GARDENS FLORIDA 33410 -4698 Phone: (561) 799 — 4201 wwwpbgfl.com Fax: (561) 799 - 4211 Memorandum To: Nina Nikolova, Planning Specialist From: Doug Wise, Building Official Regarding: Paloma PUD Amendment — Parcel A PUDA- 07 -08- 000009 Date: September 11, 2007 Based upon a review of the applicant's submittal we have the following certification comments: 1. Based upon the drawings submitted it appears that 100% of the dwelling units being proposed are "covered dwelling units" as defined under part "B" (Fair Housing) of Chapter 11 of the Florida Building Code and the federal Fair Housing Act. Please provide a written statement from the property owner acknowledging intent to comply with the technical requirements contained in the Fair Housing Act and the Fair Housing Design Manual. 2. The Fair Housing Design Manual requires that 2% of the parking spaces provided for the residents of "covered dwelling units" to be made accessible, and at least one accessible guest parking space be provided for each building when visitor parking is provided (2.23). Please review the parking analysis for the site and provide a tabulation which reflects these requirements, and demonstrates compliance. You may also need to adjust the site plan accordingly. Based upon a review of the applicant's submittal we have the following non - certification comments: 1. The building plans appear to be largely in compliance with the Fair Housing Act guidelines; however, technical deficiencies were noted in the floor plans that should not affect the site plan or building footprint, but that will require correction before a building permit can be approved. 2. Separate application, plan review and permitting shall be required for site lighting, site landscaping, site irrigation, gas piping, fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems and modifications, regardless of whether or not such systems and devices are indicated on the main building plans. 3. Separate application and approval shall be required for paving, grading, drainage, water, and sewer improvements through the City Engineering Department. 4. Separate approval for this project may be required by the Army Corps. of Engineers, South Florida Water Management District, Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Environmental Resource Management, Seacoast Utility Authority, or other regulatory agencies based upon the type and nature of work proposed. Issuance of a permit from the Building Division does not obviate the applicant from responsibility to comply with all applicable restrictions. Memo to File To: Nina Nikolova, Planning Specialist From: Mark Hendrickson, City Forester Subject: PUDA- 07 -08- 000009, Paloma PUD Amendment — Parcel A Date: September 11, 2007 I have reviewed the above referenced applicant and provide the following comments for the September 13, 2007 DRC meeting: • To be consistent with the previously approved Parcel A landscape plan (Sheet L -5), please add back the two clusters of three palms at the T- intersection located at the northern end of the Parcel. To be consistent with the previously approved Parcel A landscape plan (Sheet L -4), please add back the trees and palms to the rear yard planting scheme similar to the typical options shown for units backing up to preserve areas and buffer /road areas. • I do not agree with the two proposed driveway easements encroaching into the platted open space at the entrance. Since this amendment will require a replat to eliminate the 56 lots approved previously, I recommend the applicant just change the open space tract configuration at the same time. • Between Units 19/20 and 17/18, there appears to be a set of water meters located with the sidewalk. Please double check the correctness of this location. • The applicant is indicating the water and sewer lines up to the utility easement, but not showing their connection to the units. Projects in the City are experiencing problems with establishing landscaping as approved, or an excessive amount of root barriers adjacent to trees, palms, shrubs and ground cover required by Seacoast Utility Authority (SUA), prior to the issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. In order to prevent this from occurring, the City is requesting the applicant work with SUA to minimize or eliminate any need for root barriers through either modifications to landscape design or utility design. Please address this comment by getting a commitment from SUA that the SUA permit will be consistent with the City approved plans. • The applicant has submitted a root barrier detail that specifically states a root barrier will be install if a Live Oak tree is between 10 -15 feet from a SUA line. This is unsatisfactory. Please remove all reference to any SUA landscape standard in this application. • Please indicate the screening of all backflow preventors, FP &L, Bell South, and Cable utility boxes, and all other ground mounted equipment. • Please show the street lights on the site plan and landscape plan. Please provide a photometics plan.

Staff requests that the applicant removes the 6 -foot clear corridor zone note from the plans. 4.

The correct dimension shall be included in the setback table. 5. The applicant has stated that no waivers are requested W ith this application; therefore, the applicant needs to address the note underneath the "Typical Condominiums Separation" table. 6. The applicant shall include the notes underneath the single and multi- family setback tables that were approved by previous Administrative Amendments. 7. The applicant shall indicate on the site plan the guest and handicap parking spaces, and shall further explain how the required parking, due to the increase in bedrooms, is being addressed by the utilization of the driveways. 8. The applicant shall provide S -Tile concrete roofs rather than flat tile roofs, in order to be consistent and compatible with the existing approvals. The applicant shall respond, in writing, to the comments listed above, and submit nine (9) copies of all plans, whether amended or not, unless otherwise specified, and associated documents upon re- submittal.
