In addition, the static pressure at the water main shall be determined by a recorded method (ie. water wheel) for a minimum twenty-four (24) hour period. The actual flow test must be witnessed by, and recorded data sent to City of Pompano Beach Fire Prevention.
( ) Provide Fire Flow Data: Fire flow calculations are determined from square footage and construction type of structure. Refer to NFPA 1 chapter 18 for required fire flow, number/spacing of fire hydrants. Depending on the hydrant flow test results additional fire protection systems or change in construction type maybe required for project. (NFPA 1 2015ed chapter 18) City of Pompano requires a minimum of 2 fire hydrants. Maximum distance to secondary fire hydrant is 400ft of any future building. Distance is measured by fire apparatus travel on access roadways. (COPFL ORD. 95.09(C)) Complete attached form “Water Supply Fire Flow”
( ) Please include on all landscaping pages: Visibility and unobstructed working space must be maintained from fire apparatus access routes to fire protection and life safety appliances/equipment.

Disclaimer:
The services of an independent, experienced, qualified and certified Security Crime Prevention/ CPTED Consultant are highly recommended for objective and credible security review integrity.
This review does not guarantee a crime will never occur; it is an effort to mitigate opportunities for crime and to help avoid any present and future security deficiencies, conflicts, or liabilities that might occur without any review.
CPTED Landscaping Standards
Natural Surveillance
a. Ensure to design out all landscaping and lighting conflicts to avoid existing or future obstructions to Natural or Electronic Surveillance.
b. Ensure to design out existing or potential concealment/ ambush points to deter/ prevent criminal activity.
c. Maintain 2’ to 2.5’ foot maximum height for all hedges, bushes, low plants and ground cover.
d. Maintain an 8'' foot clear trunk without any obstructive limbs or foliage hanging down for canopy trees and tall plants that obstruct Natural &/ or Electronic Surveillance.
e. Note that young immature trees with 6” inch or less diameter trunks are excluded from this condition per code.
Parking Lot, and Adjacent Access Perimeters:
a. Parking garages and lots have one of the highest crime rates therefore the following facts must be thoroughly acknowledged and addressed:
b. Explain how this mixed use development which includes residential housing, commercial office, retail spaces, etc., will securely operate the parking garage &/ or lot Access Control systems to avoid allowing non-legitimate unauthorized users and dangerous trespassers from breaching inside private property to burglarize, steal cars, commit robberies, sexual assaults & batteries, etc.
c. Vehicles have been burglarized in parking lots leading to significant property loss and the theft of personal identification which has resulted in identity theft fraud, therefore no security surveillance camera coverage gaps can exist (see Electronic Surveillance Section).
d. Violent Robbery incidents, primarily in parking lots, have resulted in serious personal injuries and death to both residents, guests, customers and employees, therefore no security surveillance camera coverage gaps can exist.
e. Ensure comprehensive parking lot area surveillance camera coverage/ capture. Show overlapping sight “cones”.
f. An Access Control vehicular gate entrance into the parking garage will deter and help prevent trespass opportunities. These entrances must be under video surveillance.

1. A determination has been made that the proposed surface parking lot at the west side of the existing building is not outdoor storage. Thus, as a parking lot, it must comply with the requirements of Section 155.5101 Access and Circulation, Section 155.5102 Off-Street Parking and Loading, Section 155.5203 Landscaping. Revise plans to comply with all applicable requirements, including but not limited to:
• The minimum stacking lane distance for parking lot entrance driveways is 25 feet for up to 49 parking spaces, and 50 feet for between 50 to 249 parking spaces. Provide the required stacking lane distance between the entrance and the first parking space. Table 155.5101.G.8.b.
• The parking spaces must be a minimum of 9 feet in width by 18 feet in length with a drive aisle width of 23 feet for 90 degree parking. Provide dimensions on the site plan indicating the width and length of the parking spaces. Table 155.5102.I.1.
• Except as otherwise provided in Subsection ii below, landscaped planting areas making up at least 15 percent of the total area of a vehicular use area must be provided and maintained within the interior of a vehicular use area. Provide calculations on the plans indicating the percentage of vehicular use area as landscape area. Section 155.5203.D.4.a.i.
• Where a vehicular use area is used for the storage of motor vehicles, boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, or heavy equipment, landscaped planting areas must be provided and maintained within at least 15 percent of the interior of the vehicle storage area, and such planting areas must be distributed within the vehicle storage area so as to avoid the appearance of an unbroken expanse of paved area. Section 155.5203.D.4.a.ii.
• A landscaped island must be provided at each end of every row of parking spaces. Where a row of parking spaces contains ten or more parking spaces, additional landscaped islands must be provided at a spacing no greater than one every ten parking spaces. Each landscaped island must be at least eight feet wide and at least as long as the adjacent parking spaces, with the long axis of the landscaped island running approximately parallel to that of the adjacent parking spaces. Each landscaped island must contain at least one canopy tree Provide the required landscape island with dimensions on the plans. Section 155.5203.D.4.b.
• A landscaped area at least eight feet wide must be provided between abutting parking bays. The landscaped area must contain canopy trees spaced no more than 40 feet apart, a continuous hedge, and grass or groundcover throughout the remaining area. Provide the required landscape area with dimensions on the plans. Section 155.5203.D.4.c.
2. The photometric plan appears to include wall packs on the building. Pursuant to Section 155.5401.I, Wall packs on buildings may be used at entrances to a building to light unsafe areas. They are not intended to draw attention to the building or provide general building or site lighting. Wall packs on the exterior of the building shall be fully shielded (e.g., with true cut-off type bulb or light source not visible from off-site) to direct the light vertically downward and have a light output of 900 lumens or less.
