    COMMENTS:Please provide a response to the following:

    1) The applicant is strongly encouraged to contact all neighborhood associations located within three hundredfeet (300) of the development site, to advise of this proposal (a map and listing of all neighborhoodassociations are listed on the Citys website: (www.fortlauderdale.gov/GIS/gallery.htm).

    2) The 8th

    Avenue Residences site is designated RAC on the Future Land Use Map. The proposed use ispermitted in this designation. This is not a determination of consistency with the Citys Comprehensive PlanGoals, Objectives and Policies.

    3) As this application requests dwelling units in the Downtown RAC, the proposed project requires review and

    approval by the City Commission. A separate submittal is required for City Commission review, and theapplicant is responsible for all public notice requirements (Sec. 47-27). Note: The City Clerk's office requires48 hours notice prior to a Commission meeting if a computer presentation is planned i.e. Power Point, to beprovided on CD or flash drive and a copy submitted to the City Clerk, contact the project planner for moreinformation (954-828-5265).

    4) Verify that copy of plat is the most current recorded plat (including notes and amendments) for the proposedsite. Provide documentation from the Broward County Planning Council verifying that the site does notrequire platting or a plat amendment.

    5) Revise the Zoning, Land Use, and Location Maps to show the current project site.

    6) Discuss the following items and provide narrative response and/or make site plan revisions to address them:

    a. Confirm finished floor elevation meets new Building Code requirements;b. Discuss how project successfully transitions in respect to scale with the adjacent residentialneighborhood.

    7) Provide the following changes on site plan:a. Indicate all utilities (both above and below ground) that would affect the proposed planting or landscape

    plan. Overhead lines (if any) should be placed underground. If the lines cannot be placed undergroundprovide documentation from FP&L indicating such.

    b. Discuss location of trash receptacles or dumpsters with solid waste and recycling representative. Showtypical trash container dimensions and location for each unit.

    8) Show site triangles on landscape plans. Consider using a different shade tree, i.e. Beauty Berry onthe 8

    thAvenue section in order to promote variety of species and ensure long term success of overall tree

    canopy throughout the Downtown.

    9) Provide details of ground floor to show use of durable, high quality materials. Clarify materials list toexplain what the imitation glass colored stucco panel is. Ensure ground floor windows are of clear glass.

    10) Provide design and material details of parking garage screening which will effectively screen views ofcars and garage lighting; garage lighting fixtures should also be shielded. Include architectural screening ofopenings on the western part of the garage faade along south elevation; no open garage bays should faceeither street frontage. Consider ground floor active use for this portion of the garage as well. Considerdesign solutions which can better integrate the western garage entrance element with the balance of thefaade. Please note that ideally the Downtown Master Plan guides that garage facades be lined with usablespace; when un-lined garage facades are proposed special attention should be given to design solutionswhich will result in a more successful treatment.
