1. Provide written responses to all comments.
2. PREVIOUS COMMENT NOT ADDRESSED: The same bonus, public art, cannot be used for both the Height bonus and the Density bonus unless two separate pieces of artwork and/or two separate contributions are made, both in compliance with the option requirements. If artwork will be provided, indicate the on-site location of the two pieces of artwork.
3. PREVIOUS COMMENT NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED: The setbacks on NW 7 Ave for both parcels must be dimensioned from the POST-DEDICATION right-of-way line. The maximum allowable front setback is 20 feet from the POST-DEDICATION right-of-way line. Revise the plans accordingly. NEW: SETBACKS ARE MEASURED FROM THE CLOSEST POINT OF THE BUILDING AND THE PROPERTY LINES, INCLUDING THE CLOSEST POINT OF THE UPPER FLOOR LEVELS. PLANS AND ELEVATIONS DEPICT PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING CLOSER TO THE PROPERTY LINES THAN THE DIMENSION INDICATE ON THE SITE PLAN. IMPORTANT: BALCONIES CAN ENCROACH NO MORE THAN 5 FEET INTO A REQUIRED REAR YARD SETBACK ONLY, PURSUANT TO TABLE 155.9402.C. BALCONIES CANNOT ENCROACH INTO REQUIRED FRONT, INTERIOR SIDE, OR STREET SIDE YARD SETBACKS.
4. PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS NOT ADDRESSED: Provide figures indicating compliance with the minimum percentage of building within the build-to zone for each building. NEW: FIGURES WERE NOT FOUND FOR THE PROPOSED PERCENTAGE OF BUILDING WITHIN THE BUILD-TO ZONE FOR EACH PARCEL.
5. PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED: Comment from the pre-application meeting: Provide figures indicating compliance with the requirements for at least 70% transparent clear glazed area of not less than 70% of the facade area for ground-level non-residential active use. NEW: BY PROPOSING A SOLID WALL BEHIND THE LOUVRES, THIS AREA NOT MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATIONS FOR THE REQUIRED 70% TRANSPARENT GLAZED AREA.
6. PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED: Comment from the pre-application meeting: A Type B buffer is required along the north property line and must include a 6-foot wall or semi-opaque fence. Show the location of the required wall/fence on the site plan and provide a detail for the proposed wall/fence. THE BUFFER MUST BE AT LEAST 10 FEET WIDE, EXCLUSIVE OF THE VEHICULAR OVERHANG, AND DOES NOT COMPLY. ALSO, DISCUSS THE LOCATION OF THE REQUIRED FENCE WITHIN THE BUFFER. A HEDGE IS REQUIRED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE, ON THE PROJECT PROPERTY.
7. PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS NOT ADDRESSED: Comment from the pre-application meeting: Show the minimum required stacking distance of 50 feet, pursuant to Table 155.5101.G.8.b, where the stacking lane distance is measured from the intersection of the driveway with the street right-of-way, along the centerline of the stacking lane, to its intersection with the centerline of the first entrance into a parking space. NEW: THE 50-FOOT STACKING DIMENSION WAS FOUND ON THE SITE PLAN. HOWEVER, MULTIPLE PARKING SPACES APPEAR IN FRONT OF THE REQUIRED 50-FOOT STACKING DISTANCE AT BOTH DRIVEWAYS ON THE WEST PARCEL.
8. PREVIOUS COMMENT WAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED: A continuous 5-foot wide landscape divider median is required between the head-to-head parking that is not under roof, pursuant to Section 155.3501.J.2.

11. PREVIOUS COMMENT INSUFFICIENTLY ADDRESSED: Provide the City Engineering Standard Parking Space Detail on the plans. NEW: THE DETAILED THAT WAS PROVIDED IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY ENGINEERING STANDARD PARKING SPACE DETAIL.
12. PREVIOUS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE FURTHER ADDRESSED: A single layer of vertical aluminum louvers is insufficient for screening the interior of the parking area. Add a layer of a second screening material so that no vehicles, mechanical equipment, lighting, pipes, or other internal elements are visible from the exterior of the building. NEW: THE PROPOSED SOLID WALL MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATIONS FOR THE MINIMUM 70% TRANSPARENT GLAZING REQUIREMENT OF SECTION 155.3501.O.2.h.

20. The following will be a condition of the Development Order: Pursuant Section 155.3709.K, the development is required to set aside a minimum of 15% of their proposed residential units as affordable.

( ) Provide Required Fire Flow Data for each proposed structure(this flow will either be the total flow required for a non-fire sprinklered building or the fire sprinkler/standpipe demands) : 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 2018ed chapter 18). This information must be provided at DRC to evaluate current water supply conditions.
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”. Document located in the E-files folders of e-Plan.
( ) Provide a Hydrant Flow Test to determine the available water supply to this project. This test must be performed by a qualified company of the builder’s choice. 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.
( ) Documentation of purchase for fire service backflow and meter assemblies must be provided to City of Pompano Utilities and Fire Prevention before underground inspections of water mains.
