-The property was platted (Blue Water Beach, Lot 12) and recorded prior to 1953 (Plat Book 26 Pg 29) with no restrictions on the plat. Based on Broward County''s Administrative Rules Document Broward Next (4.3) regarding platting exemption, it does not appear that replatting would not be required for the proposed multi-family development; however, staff recommends that the applicant submit a platting determination letter to the Broward County Planning Council confirming whether a plat note amendment or re-platting is required for the proposed development.
-It must be noted that the 2019 Draft FEMA FIRM update shows this property in an AE 6 (NAVD) flood zone which will require the FFE to be built at a minimum of 7 feet NAVD. The Paving, Grading and Drainage Plan is showing the FFE at only 6.5'' NAVD. If the 2019 FEMA maps are adopted prior to the issuance of building permit, the FFE will have to be increased to 7'' NAVD to be permitted.

Contact the Engineering Div. for Utility information. Engineering Standard street tree detail 316-1
2. Prior to the approval of the City Engineering division, the City’s Planning and Zoning Division must approve these plans.
3. The proposed paving, grading and drainage plans must be approved by the Broward County EPD Surface Water Management Division.
4. The proposed watermain and services, sanitary sewer connection to service this project and proposed drainage must be approved by the City of Pompano Beach Utilities Division.

How to retire old laterals
• If the existing main is clay pipe and has a CIPP liner currently installed. (Install a sectional liner in the main over the old lateral thus eliminating the lateral)
• If the existing main is clay pipe. (Dig down cut old clay pipe, sleeve back in with PVC and city approved couplings)
• If the existing main is clay pipe and you are required to retire multiple laterals for a project.(It may be cheaper for the contractor to install a city approved CIPP liner from manhole to manhole and not cut out the laterals that they are retiring)
• If the existing main is PVC pipe. (Remove the lateral pipe from the PVC Wye fitting and install a plug into the Wye. Install a green locating marking ball at the lateral locating, no deeper than 4 ft. below grade)
7. On the water and sewer plan the 3 6" x 1" water service taps need to constructed per the city engineering standard detail 107-1. Please clarify descriptions to match detail. (no GV or PVC)

Review Complete Resubmittal Required
1. This application is being reviewed as a Minor Site plan.
2. The site plan appears to have multiple plans in one (Civil information, irrigation info, etc.) and have additional unnecessary lines with measurements that are necessary. Provide a clear site plan with the extra information removed. The setback information and building dimensions are difficult to read.
3. Clarify if the parking in the Right-of-Way is to remain as they are not counted within the parking calculations. Provide the size of these spaces on the site plan. They shall be at least 9’x23’. Note, all off-street parking and loading areas shall be surfaced with asphalt, concrete, brick, stone, pavers, or an equivalent hard, dustless, and bonded surface material (155.5102.C.2.a). Additionally, these spaces shall not interfere with the required landscaping. Clarify the material that will be used in these areas. This shall be shown on both the site plan and landscape plan.
4. Provide the height on the elevations measured from the average finished floor elevation to the midpoint of the roof.
5. The landscaping shown on the site plan still does not match the landscaping on the landscape plan. It is best to remove all landscaping from the site plan and only show it on the landscape plan for the sake of consistency.
6. On the landscape plan, show the bushes/trees proposed in between the driveways of the western units as currently shown on the site plan.
7. On the landscape plan, revise the mechanical equipment screening (A/C units and pool equipment) to be screened on all visible sides. The A/C unit near the east property line does not have screening from the east property line. Additionally, the pool equipment on the east property line does not have screening on all three exposed sides.
8. The landscape plan has a box that says “Deerfield Beach Landscape Requirements”. Revise, as this is the City of Pompano Beach.
9. Provide a note on the landscape plan that says “all mechanical equipment screening will be maintained at least 6 inches above the equipment”.
10. A utility easement agreement form must be submitted at time of building permit for the fence located in the 5’ utility easement.
