Colson Concord Building, 2nd Floor 66 West Flagler St. Miami, Florida Phone=373-9016 ZONING C-3 (Central Commercial). REQUEST Variance to permit construction of an office tower structure on above site, as per plans on file, with a proposed height of 765' (300' allowed) and providing 4 of 24 required off-street loading spaces. This petition in conjunction with a conditional use application.. and Conditional Use to permit construction of a parking garage on above site, as per plans on file. This application in conjunction with a variance request. RECOMMENDATIONS ; D.O.T.T. While the previous conceptual plan was found to be acceptable, we have the following comments on the currently proposed site plan: A. We recommend that the ramp system be reexamined as we feel one lane up and one lane down is inadequate to accom- modate the traffic during peak hours in a garage of this magnitude. B. Entrances to the garage should have a minimum width of 14 feet plus adequate turning radii. C. Ramp grades should be indicated on plans. D. Please note that at a Task Force Meeting held at the DDA on December 18, 1980, a representative of Southeast Bank indicated there would be approximately 7 or 8 loading bays provided as opposed to the four loading bays plus two security truck bays now shown on the plans. We fail to see the 10 van spaces indicated in the November 12, 1980, letter attached to the plans. At this time, we recommend that the Variance not be granted. E. All parking stalls appear to be compact in size according to City of Miami standards. This is not recommended. _ F. The recommended maximum height of parking garages is six to seven floors. Please note however that the levels on the plans do not directly correspond to floors. G. There is insufficient stacking area provided past the co.1lection booths at the S.E. 2nd Street exit for efficient operation of a signal at this location. Thus signalization of this intersection is not acceptable and closure of this exit ramp during the P.M. Peak Hours may be indicated, unless the site plans are significantly modified. H. During P.M. Peak period operation, the queuing area between the S.E. 2nd Street collection booths and the helical ramp appears to be insufficient (stacking for only 3 or 4 vehicles), thereby allowing exiting vehicles to stack onto the helical ramp and prevent reasonable usage of the S.E. 3rd Street exit. I. Ticket dispensers are not shown on the plans. We recommend that they be provided at the entry into parking level 114.11 A PUBLIC WORKS No dedication requested. PLANNING DEPT. DEFERRAL. By terms of Resolution 81-36; January 15, 1981, the Development Order for the Southeast Bank Financial Center, the applicant is to: a) prepare an external access and internal circulation analysis of the parking garage by February 15, 1981; b) redesign the S.E. 3rd Street truck service area to ensure off-street loading and unloading operations and unobstructed flow of traffic on S.E. 3rd Street; c) ensure that trucks will not be allowed to either back from or into S.E. 2nd Street; and d) address issue of a deceleration lane and an existing portal on S.E. 2nd Street. The Development Order further requires State, County and City departmental review of the above prior to recommending any zoning approvals. The Department also has not had the opportunity of reviewing the number and layout of truck bays. The Department requests a deferral at least until February 16, 1981. (4 4 ZONING BOARD This Item was deferred from the meeting of February 2, 1981. PLANNING DEPT. APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS AS SET FORTH HEREIN. REVISED Per Resolution - ; anuary 15, 1981, the Development Order for the Southeast Bank Financial Center, the City was to "carefully evaluate any application for a zoning variance for off-street truck loading bays in the context of provision of the proposed new _ Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (January 1979 - Draft)". The new provisions would require 12 bays 35' X 12' and 6 bays 44' X 12' for the 1,356,500 square foot floor area of build- ing in the site. The applicant is supplying 4 bays 12' X 55'; 2 bays 12' X 24' solely •for armored truck and 16 bays 12' X 20' spaces for vans. Approval is recommended on the following conditions. 1. Reservation for space for 2 additional truck spaces 12' X 55' adjacent to the ground -level public plaza and S.E. 3rd Street, as a holding area, to be implemented by the applicant upon a request from the City. 2. Reservation of the 16 van spaces cannot be converted to other uses without express permission of the City. 3. Prohibition of unloading, on -site or street storage of trucks or semi trailers in excess of 35' during the A.M. peak hours of 7:30 AM ' 9:30 A.M. The building height requested is proper in light of pending changes in this zoning district that would provide for unlimited height. The parking facility for 1150 cars is appropriate to accomodate the buildings needs and general need for parking in this area. D.O.T.T. After review of the new site plan dated 2/23/81 and a cursory REVISED' review of other submitted information dated 2/15/81, we RECOMMENDATIONS have the following comments: 2-25-81 A. All parking stall dimensions should meet the City standards. The applicant's architect has verbally stated this can and will be accomplished. B. The 3rd Street entrance should have an intermediate slope between the street level and the ultimate 12 ramp slope. The applicant's architect has verbally - indicated this will be incorporated into the plans. C. Upon review of the applicant's submitted information, exiting vehicles during the F.M. peak hour will likely queue onto the helical exit ramp for many of the cycles of the S.E. 2nd Street exit ramp signal. Such a queue wduld block access to the 3rd Street exit and limit _ its effectiveness. Thus, extensive delays may be en- countered by nearly all exiting vehicles. If this projec- tion is realized in the P.M. peak hour, the management of the Southeast Financial Center may wish to coordinate efforts with this departrlent as to possible remedial solutions which would likely include a P.M.. peak hour closure of the S.E. 2nd Street exit from the garage. ZONING BOARD (a) GRANTED subject to provisions as read into the record on 3/2/81 ZB 36-81 by a 7 to 0 vote. (b) GRANTED on 3/2/81 ZB 37-81 by a 7 to 0 vote. -1 POST, BUCKLEY, SCHUH & JERNIGAN, INC.
