ZONING
Diego Guevara | diego.guevara@copbfl.com <mailto:diego.guevara@copbfl.com>
Status: Pending Resubmit
1. Revise the narrative provided to reflect the proposed site plan design. Correct also the type of site plan requested to match the application.
2. The proposed bathroom reduces the foot print as well as the service capacity of the facility from six sinks, all inside the facilities, to two sinks, located outside at the entrance of the premises. (Three sinks - 3 Toilets for women and three sinks, two urinal one toilet for men).
3. Provide a detail of the shower area. The site plan shows only one showerhead. Provide a multiple showerhead post. Add foot-showers also.
4. The proposed design has the shower, signs, trash receptacles and bicycle racks, all adjacent to each other. This is too much in too little area. The proposed cluster of services could be less visible and more appealing if the elements were distributed thorough out the project.
5. Provide a larger number of bicycles racks. The Code (Sec. 1555102.L Bicycle Parking Facilities) requires a minimum of 4 bicycle parking per ten parking spaces or major fraction thereof, above ten spaces - provided that no more than 20 bicycle parking spaces shall be required in any one parking area.
6. The existing parking area has 13 parking spaces, arranged along NE 16 Street and 4 more at the end of the street perpendicular to the beach. The proposed modification includes the provision of the same number of parking spaces (17, including two ADA), and two landscaping islands, all along the south side of NE 16 Street.
7. Coordinate the junction area between the Duet building and the southwest corner of the park. The proposed building has a grade area above the park grade, which need to be articulated. Visitors of the park and the beach shall be able to get access to the proposed commercial space on the building, with no restrictions, but a clear limit or separation between the two projects.
8. The proposed design is providing a pergola instead of a pavilion. Provide a roofing area instead of the proposed pergola. It will be a better suit for the park because of the protection from the sun and rain.
9. This is a community park, that has been used by local residents. The removal of the existing grills will banish the main and most popular features of the park. Incorporate the grills to the proposed design.
10. Update the Landscaping plan. All plans must be consistent.
11. On the ePlan files, do not keep duplicate drawings, this is critical when the project has multiple changes.
The comments proffered at the pre-application conference are intended to provide guidance for submittals for Site Plan Review by the Development Review Committee. The pre-application comments are preliminary and additional comments may be generated upon review of future submittals.

14. For example; Penalties would be incurred by the contractor for damages to the existing trees on site from the contractor, the subcontractors, or employees. Any encroachment within the tree protection zone, failure to maintain the tree protection zone, or any damage to the tree(s) or critical root zones will result in mitigation. The cause of damages would include, but not be limited to, storage of materials, placing fill or debris, disposal of paint or solvents, parking of machines under trees or tree protection zone encroachment. An example of this would be; Violations of this will result in a fine of $10,000.00 for the first offense, $15,000.00 for the second, and $20,000.00 for the third, etc. If physical damage is done to the tree, an appraisal of the damages and related fees will be determined by an ASCA Registered Consulting Arborist, and be based on all, or a percentage of, the established value assigned to the tree.
