The building site is currently unplatted. A sanitary sewer easement is located on the site and currently contains a 36- inch sanitary sewer interceptor pipe. A Florida Power and Light easement also bisects the parcel. In order to develop this project, the easements must be abandoned and the developer must arrange for the relocations of major utility facilities. Dedication of the S.W. 3 Street right of wav shall be required as part of the platting process. 2. An agreement (covenant) between the City of Miami and the property owner is required for any non-standard installations in the public right of wav (decora tive sidewalk and pavement, landscaping, irrigation, decorative lighting). 3. Vehicle entry control devices such as a card reader must be set back a minimum of 20 feet behind the base building line. 4. The service alley must be located a minimum of 5 feet off the side lot line where the driveway meets the base building line. 5. City of Miami driveway entrances, in compliance with A,D.A. standards, shall be required. The maximum driveway width is 40 feet unless approved by_the Director of Public Works. 6. All transitions from the established street profile grade to the building flood elevation must be accomplished on private property. Stairs, ramps, retaining walls, etc. will not be permitted in the public right of way. 7. Standard parking stalls are 8 1 feet wide, 18 feet long and require 23 feet of back-up distance. 8. All stormwater must be retained on site including the driveways and plazas on private property adjacent to the public streets. All plazas and driveways must be graded or trench drains provided to prevent "sheet flow" form entering the right of way. 9. Double stacked parking spaces will require a valet service. • • Roberto Lavernia Chief of Land Development Planning and Zoning Department Page 2 July 21, 2004 10. On sheet no. A-101, the building support columns conflict with the service plaza truck maneuvering area, with the parking exit and the drop-off area. Verify truck turning movement space for the 10'x20' loading bay #6. 11. On sheet no. A-201, the proposed building support columns and shear wall encroach into the visitor/retail parking area, vehicle ramp, drop-off area and conflict with truck turning_movements in the loading/service area. 12. On sheet nos. A-203 and A-204, the proposed building support columns encroach into the parking stalls. 1.3. On sheet no. A-301, the proposed building support columns encroach into the visitor/retail parking area, Ioading/service bay area and the drop-off area. 14. On sheet no. LA -LB, the sidewalk along N.W. 3 Street is approximately 5 feet wide and is too narrow to accommodate tree wells and meet A.D.A. minimum clear width requirements. The A.D.A. clearance requirements must be provided in the public right of wav without requiring pedestrians to enter private property to go around the trees. The trees must be relocated hack to private property to provide the proper clearance in the right of way. In addition to these comments, the following minimum right of way improvements will be required: Replace all broken and damaged sidewalk, curb and gutter adjacent to the project site. Tree grates will be required at all street tree wells adjacent to the site. Construct A.D.A. compliant handicap ramp on the southwest comer of the intersection of South Miami Avenue and S.W. 3 Street. Pavement restoration for all water and sewer extensions, existing damaged pavement and pavement damaged during construction, as determined by the City inspector, shall include milling and resurfacing of the full pavement width, curb to curb, along the entire length of the excavation and/or damaged pavement area. Milling and resurfacing of the full pavement width, curb to curb, along S.W. 3 Street from the west side of the Metrorail corridor to its intersection with South Miami Avenue shall be required.
