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.
