Summary:
The application seeks approval for a Major Site Plan for a 20.64-acre parcel on the south side of West Atlantic Avenue. Additionally, a supporting Rezoning Application has been submitted to request a rezoning from the PR - Parks and Recreation Zoning District to the RM-12 - Multiple Family Residential District. These applications supplement a Land Use Plan Amendment, proposing to change the City's land use designation of the subject property from OR - Recreation and Open Space within the Palm Aire Dashed Line Area (10,631 D.U.) to LM - Low Medium Residential (0 - 10 D.U./Ac.).
The new residential community will consist of fee-simple residential townhomes, with a total of 189 units available. There will be two models of townhomes: one 20 feet wide and the other 24 feet wide, each featuring individual driveways, garage parking, and associated landscaping. This application also includes the drainage of the existing lake on the site and proposes the creation of a new lake and the expansion of an existing lake onto the property. Access to the property will be from a new driveway entrance from Atlantic bypassing through the Canal waterway.

UTILTIES
Plan Reviewer: Nathaniel Watson | Nathaniel.watson@copbfl.com
Status: Pending Resubmittal
1. Additional comments may be forthcoming contingent upon future submittals to the PAM and/or DRC review process.
2. (4.) As discussed, upon executing the access and maintenance agreement, language indemnifying the City for any staining residential from well site maintenance activities.
3. (6.) As discussed, DEC will review the location just south of lot 135 in the open space tract area and revise accordingly. Clarification from Schnars on the slope of the area behind THs where the proposed new 20” WM is located.
4. (8.) As discussed, Pulte provides a mutually agreed upon electrical contractor once selected.
5. (9.) As discussed, Pulte will add 2x-6 conduits for future generator site power service. For protection, Pulte will place the conduits within a concrete duct bank.
6. (10.) During the July 22, 2024, meeting concerning the well field impact, it was understood that the City’s consulting for the well sitting and the electrical components would be contacted. The consultants have heard nothing from Pulte’s team to date.
7. (11). As a result of comment #10, the preliminary drawings regarding the construction around the City's future well sites and related infrastructure were shared with the city's consultant.
a. The Citys consultant advised the city to upgrade the raw water main from 20 to 24.
b. The Citys consultant advised the City and provided the developer red line marked drawings noting the following:
1. A 100-foot radius setback from the raw water well 28 to the edge of a generator / electrical building. Any diesel or oil leak from the engine generator could potentially contaminate the raw water well.
2. 150 KVA Pad-mounted Outdoor Transformers contain insulating fluid and must be away from the well.
3. According to FDEP and Broward County Protective Zone 1 for Wellfield, the Diesel Fuel Storage Tank shall be at least 100 feet away from the well or perhaps at a further setback.
4. Access Driveway for large maintenance trucks between the well and the generator building and a second driveway for the diesel fuel tank and transformers.
8. (5). The electrical wiring for the Citys infrastructure should be separated from the residential electrical duct bank wiring and placed within the 30 easement parallel to the raw water main. Large in-ground electrical pull vaults are required for the industrial installation and are not typically placed within common walkways. Please see the shop drawing for a typical electrical vault in the staff upload documents folder.
9. (6.) New 150KVA pad-mounted transformers will be required at each well.
10. (12.) The preliminary engineering drawings must be redesigned to accommodate the concerns the City’s consultants raised. Please see the City’s consultant preliminary review in the staff upload documents folder.

The purple easement shadowing should not exceed the width of the drive aisle and is currently wider than the drive aisle. Staff recommends combining the yellow easement with the purple, allowing for the required street trees to be shown and approved in those locations. Plans as proposed are not approvable for site trees and street tree layouts. Subject to approval/review by the utilities department.

8) On the typical detail sheet, indicate the guest parking. If not using the driveway and garage for each townhome to have their own guest space, then an off-site parking lot for guest parking must be provided.
