The following comments represent the unified vision of the Pre -Application Design Review Committee, which
consist of all staff members in the Urban Design and Land Development Divisions.
COMMENTS:
We thank you once again for participating in the design review process and meeting with the committee to
present the revised drawings of the project. We recognize your active participation in improving the quality of
our built environment. The committee's previous concerns continue to be reflected in the comments below.
Should the applicant disagree with the comments, the applicant may proceed to the next stage of the review
process.
Zoning Confirmations
• The committee requests that the applicant meet collaboratively with both the Planning and the
Zoning Department to clarify zoning changes for the site. Please contact Madeline Rodriguez at
305.416.1412 to arrange a meeting.
Urban Design
• The committee commends the applicant for introducing human -scale elements to the ground level of
the townhouses along W. Glencoe St. However, we continue to encourage garage doors to face the
interior of the site and to front W. Glencoe St. with the main living spaces of the building.
Single -Family Home
• Provide a complete set of floor plans and elevations of the single family home.
• Provide details of the auto court in front of the single family home, including number of spaces
provided, paving type, and landscaping.
Landscaping
• Submit a landscape plan that specifies the species (common and botanical names), sizes (height x
spread and/or container size) at time of planting, quantities, and proposed locations of all plant
materials, existing and proposed. The landscape plan shall include planting details and planting
specifications.
It is our intention with these comments to aid in expediting Special Permit applications with your
voluntary efforts in making the necessary changes; thereby, avoiding any preventable delays
particularly prior to a project's submission to the Large Scale Development Committee or the
Urban Development Review Board.
