Re: FPL Firehouse Substation Project Description
Florida Power and Light Company is applying for Special Exception Approval to permit the
construction of an electrical distribution substation at 1025 S.W. 2nd Avenue. This substation will
be used for the purpose of converting, regulating and distributing electricity to the existing
electrical service grid in the area. Our planning studies indicate rising electrical load in the area
that will require this substation to be placed in service before June 2006. Without the relief this
substation will provide to our existing facilities, projected equipment overloads could result in
extensive outages to the area.
Firehouse substation is a unique solution to integrating a utility facility into an existing urban
environment. The building housing this substation was developed with input and review from the
Internal Design Review Committee and we would like to thank all of the members for their valued
input and contributions to the design process. This design is consistent with the anticipated
Special District planned for this area and should compliment future adjacent development. We
have included a pedestrian gallery along the west and south sides of the structure. This space
would be used for community related displays of art or information further enhancing the walking
experience of this district. Landscaping consisting of specimen palms, street trees and flowering
shrubs will contribute to the pedestrian experience and enhance the structure when viewed from
a distance.
This facility will be unmanned with only maintenance crews making periodic visits. The unmanned
nature of this facility will not create any additional traffic impacts to this rapidly developing area.
Electrical infrastructure improvements provided by this substation will increase the reliability of
service and support new growth without adding visual clutter.
The unique architecture of this project combined with the pedestrian gallery and landscaping will
provide a welcome addition of aesthetic enhancement and infrastructure improvements to the
area.
