SUBJECT:
Palm Walk - COUS #94-003
conditional Use - ACLF
Please place the above-referenced item on the August 16, 1994
city commission agenda under Public Hearings.
DESCRIPTION: This is a request for conditional use approval to
construct a 48 bed, specialized (for alzheimer's and dementia
patients) adult congregate living facility (ACLF) with limited
nursing services. The property is located on the north side of
S.W. 19th Avenue, approximately 100 yards east of Congress
Avenue, and is zoned R-3 and within the modern district of the
Community Design Plan. The two buildings proposed total 17,042
square feet and are 25 feet in height.
One entrance, on S.W. 19th Avenue, is proposed to serve the
parking lot of 17 parking spaces (one space is surplus) which is
to the rear of the buildings. Loading and service areas are
proposed in front of the buildings. The walls of the building
will be pale pink stucco with white cement tile roofs (see
separate item on the August 16th agenda for a community design
plan appeal of roof material for the project) and light green
tile trim, including canvas canopies, striped white, pink and
green.
RECOMMENDATION: The Planning and Development Board unanimously
recommended approval of this request, subject to staff comments
(Public Works Department Memorandum #94-201, utilities Department
Memorandum #94-253, Engineering Department Memorandum #94-205,
Engineering Department Memorandum #94-209, Building Department
Memorandum #94-178, Parks and Recreation Department Memorandum
#94-258, Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum #94-234 and
Planning and Zoning Department memorandum dated August 3, 1994),
with the exception of comment II.1, recommending a building
height reduction to 20 feet, of the August 3, 1994, Planning and
Zoning Department memorandum.
Since the day of the Planning and Development Board meeting, the
applicant has prepared the attached sketch showing another roll-
out dumpster scheme. The sketch shows the raised curbing around
the dumpster, required by Public Works and shows the roll-out on
the south side of the loading/service area, rather than the north
side of this area; the location stated in the memorandum from
Public Works. This issue was not discussed at the Planning and
Development Board meeting and staff has since then discussed the
new location with concerned departments; Public Works and
Utilities.
The Utilities Department has stated that the new location and
design are too close to the city's lift station and wet well,
causing a tripping hazard for city utility personnel and possible
serious injury. The Public Works Department has indicated that
roll-out dumpsters are problematic in that City workers cannot
always rely on property owners rolling out their dumpsters for
pick-up. Also dumpsters have been .known to roll into rights-of-
way (thus the curbing) and dumpsters are frequently not returned
by property owners to their enclosures (an aesthetic problem).
For these reasons, Public Works has allowed roll-out dumpsters in

very few projects within the city (such as Snug Harbor, Village
Royale on the Green, Coastal Towers, Seagate of Gulfstream,
Gulfstream Apartments). such projects are residential and
typically multi-story with drop chutes into the dumpster and the
dumpsters are privately owned and modified with wheels.
There are 2-3 commercial projects on Industrial Avenue that have
had roll-out dumpsters for years, but no recent commercial
projects have been granted roll-out dumpsters for safety reasons.
However, since the dumpster was a difficult issue with this
project, in the spirit of compromise, Public Works has accepted
the attached sketch for this quasi-commercial project.
In addition, it is noted that the roll-out dumpster location
conflicts with handicap requirements by encumbering the sidewalk
needed for public pedestrian access from the right-of-way. Also,
the sketch shows the dumpster enclosure having moved east;
shortening the paved area by the kitchen, that was credited
towards the required 12 foot by 35 foot loading zone. Therefore,
to meet City and handicap codes, the dumpster enclosure and paved
area needs to remain as shown on the plans forwarded to
Commission. The roll-out dumpster pad would need to be moved to
the north side of loading/service area, consistent with Public
Works Department Memorandum NO. 94-201, to alleviate the
utilities Department's concerns.
