Summary:
Fire Station 52 was approved under PZ320-12000014 as a Major Site Plan. The City acquired the property to the north of Fire Station 51 and recorded a Unity of Title to unify the two properties. The design of the building, vehicular use areas and circulation remain unchanged, and will be shifted to the north, immediately south of the access road that runs parallel to West Atlantic Blvd. In addition to the shift in these elements, the City is proposing a one pump fueling dispenser, fueling canopy, and 15,000 gallon diesel fuel tank to use for City vehicles. The new “Fuel Depot” will be located south of the new Fire Station at the south end of the site.

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
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.
Electronic Surveillance - Security Strengthening
a. Ensure electronic surveillance cameras and monitors are strategically located for maximum active and passive observation. Show sight “cones” indicating comprehensive coverage.
b. Ensure all cameras are strategically placed so they will not be obstructed by the growth of existing or installation of future landscaping.
c. Ensure lighting placement will enhance rather than conflict with camera placement. Avoid placing a light that would concentrate light directly into a camera lens thereby causing interference in operational efficiency.
d. Security cameras must fully view all parking areas, building entrances and pedestrian paths of travel along the building perimeters.
e. Any potentially vulnerable areas that cannot be observed through Natural Surveillance must be covered by electronic surveillance monitoring.
Miscellaneous: CPTED & Security Strengthening
a. Ensure all exterior electrical power outlets have a lock or power secure internal cutoff switch to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who loiter and trespass to charge their mobile phones, etc.
b. Ensure all exterior water outlet spigots have a secure locking cap to deny unauthorized use by vagrants, etc. who loiter and trespass to wash themselves and their clothes, and who leave soiled clothing and lots of litter behind.
c. Any blind areas not covered by security cameras including interior hallways of the resident housing for example must install corner security mirrors to assist in visibility around blind spot corners to deter/ prevent concealment/ ambush opportunities.

9. Street tree requirements seem short, shift tree locations on to the site out of the view triangle to meet the minimums.
10. As per 155.5401.C. remove light poles from required VUA areas, perimeter landscaping strips, landscaped islands in parking bays, landscaped areas between parking bays, and landscaping between vehicular use areas and buildings. Show light pole locations on the landscape plan.
11. Shift fence / gate locations out of the center of required landscape islands to allow for a clear measurement of the 8’ required plantable space for trees.
12. Provide a mechanical screening detail for the above ground tank by fuel depot.
13. Show retention areas on the landscape plan.
14. Please provide specifications and directives by a Registered Consulting Arborist prescribing timelines, watering, root pruning for adjoining trees with root zones within this project scope

Ground-mounted equipment, such as the proposed diesel tank, must be screened by dense continuous hedges installed in accordance with Section 155.5203.B.2.f., Shrubs and Hedges, or a semi-opaque fence or solid wall. The height of the vegetation, wall or fence, must be maintained at least six inches above the height of the mechanical equipment being screened. Show the required screening on the plans.
4. Sheet EXB, Phasing Exhibits, appears to represent the previous site plan, without the fueling canopy.
5. The existing FPL/Utility easements that are in conflict with the proposed development must be vacated prior to building permit.
6. Section 155.5509. Utility Line Location. For all new development, all overhead utilities located on the development site and/or along the public right-of-way fronting the development site shall be placed underground to the maximum extent practicable. Coordination with FPL and other pertinent utilities for the relocation of overhead utilities to underground along SW 27 Ave is needed at this time.
7. Staff recommends that communication is established with the property owner to the south of the project site, so that the owner is able to coordinate the timing and prepare for the changes to the vehicular use area, trash enclosure and perimeter buffer that are needed on that property in order to avoid a potential nonconforming condition that may arise on their property as a result of the proposed development.
