Based upon a review of the submitted documents I have the following certification comments: 1. In order to ensure there are no defects in the footprint and conceptual design, please provide a brief Building Life Safety Analysis to include interior exiting strategies, and distances, as well as exit capacity tabulations. Please include building height and area, including limitations per Table 503 FBC, based upon building type, sprinklers and construction type. 2. Site plan shows show Accessible parking spaces are not located closest to the entrances to the building. FBC 11 -4.6.2 requires buildings with multiple entrances with adjacent parking, accessible parking spaces shall be dispersed and located closest to the accessible entrances. 3. Egress on the north side of the building does not show an accessible means of egress to a public way as required by the Florida Building Code 1007 and 1023.6. The following general comments affect this project should be duly noted by the applicant: 1. Separate permit and application will be required for: paving, drainage, water and sewer improvements, landscaping, irrigation, site lighting, signage, fire sprinkler, fire alarm, and dumpster enclosures. 2. The detail of the H.C. curb ramp on page A -1.01 shows flared sides with a ratio of 1:10. FBC 11 -4.7.5 requires flared sides of curb ramp not to exceed a ratio of 1:12. Memo to File To: Allyson Maiwurm, Projects Coordinator Through: Mark Hendrickson, City Forester From: Ray Caranci, Forestry Technician R L Subject: SPLA- 07 -10 -08 North County Regional Library PCDA- 07 -09 -05 North County Government Center Date: October 23, 2007 I have reviewed the Land Development Regulations for the above referenced petitions, and provide these comments for the DRC: SPLA- 07 -10 -08 North County Regional Library Certification Issues 1. In accordance with Section 78 -313 (b) of the LDR, not more than 40% of the total landscape area shall be covered with sod. Please revise to add more landscaped areas to reduce sod. Possible areas would be the east side of the building or the buffer along the east -west road. 2. On the plant list, there are several corrections or recommendations that potentially will change the point totals to fall below the required amount: a. A 5 inch DBH is not realistic for some of the tree species. The Geiger trees will probably not achieve this size even at maturity. b. Cattleya Guava and Satin Leaf are not recommended because of their poor performance in the City. c. A 5 inch DBH Live Oak or Red Maple may have a root ball too large to allow planting in some of the parking lot areas. d. Red Maples may not do well in this area, unless they are near the water detention areas. e. Sod points are calculated correctly, but the point column should be revised to be .25 pts /10 sq ft. Staff is available to meet and discuss solutions to these issues. 3. Staff can only confirm 84,249 sq ft for open space for landscape points, compared to the applicant indicating 86,348. Please revise to correct this difference. Non - Certification Issues 4. Please identify the reason for the mulched area surrounding the Paurotis Palms in the landscape buffer at the northwest corner of the library parking field. 5. The Trees along the retention area to the west of the parking area could be more diverse in species by including Sabal Palms and Cypress trees. PCDA- 07 -09 -05 North County Government Center Certification Issues 1. In accordance with Section 78 -324 of the LDR, conceptual cross sections of the north -south and east -west roads with landscaping should be submitted to show the design of the roadway beautification required. 2. In the sufficiency review by Keith and Schnars, P.A. of the environmental assessment, questions have been raised regarding the possibility of wetlands existing in the proposed preserve area. If ongoing investigations result in a positive finding of wetland areas, further recommendations may be necessary. 3. If the area for the proposed preserve requires a berm or drainage structures within the preserve, please indicate this on the landscape plan, but the preference would be that they be located outside the preserve. Non - Certification Issues 4. The approved plans include a passive park area. Staff suggests that rather than eliminating these features, the passive park features be incorporated into the proposed preserve area. Also, please understand that additional information may be requested, and staff may have additional comments as the review process continues. 4,y, KEITH and SCHNARS, P.A. ENGINEERS, PLANNERS, SURVEYORS October 22, 2007 Mr. Mark Hendrickson City Forester City of Palm Beach Gardens 10500 N. Military Trail Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 RE: Sufficiency Review Environmental Assessment for the North County Government Center and Library Expansion Keith and Schnars Project Number 17606.00.11003 Dear Mr. Hendrickson: Keith and Schnars, P.A. is pleased to submit our Sufficiency Review of the Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared for the North County Government Center and Library Expansion. The EA is dated September 13, 2007. Our on -site review took place on October 18, 2007. We reviewed the EA, and found that several items required by the City Code are missing or need further discussion. Our Environmental Assessment Review Checklist is attached. Some of the most important items that we believe should be addressed include the following: • The EA describes the individual project parcel habitats and provides FLUCCS (Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System) classifications for each habitat. However, the EA mostly describes each parcel's functionality in terms of existing or potential gopher tortoise habitat. There is no discussion of the parcels' other ecological functions, or of undesirable impacts that would be caused by construction. For example, Parcel No. 4 contains high - quality pine flatwoods, while the parcels slated for the Environmental Preserve are relatively poor quality and will require intensive nuisance species eradication. While Parcel No. 4 will remain undisturbed for the moment, a discussion of its future development, and environmental impacts, is warranted. The EA should note that the current stands of invasive Old World Climbing Fern (Lygodium microphyllum) on the project site will be even more extensive at the time of development, due to the aggressive growth of the species. If possible, it would benefit the City in terms of dollars and work efforts to eradicate the vine at this time, or as soon as possible. • The EA should include a list of threatened and endangered floral and faunal species listed for the County, as well as their likelihood of occurrence on the project site. Coastal species do not need to be included on the list. • Stands of melaleuca ( Melaleuca quinquenervia) on the project site historically may have been depressional wetlands (hydric soils are mapped on the site), and their status as possible jurisdictional wetlands needs to be further investigated and discussed. • Our Environmental Assessment Review Checklist includes other pertinent items. If you have any questions regarding this Sufficiency Review, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, KEITH and SCHNARS, P.A. Engineers - Planners - Surveyors Lauren Linares, M.S.
