UTILITIES
Comments:
1. All utilities easements shall be shown on the permit set of rectified landscaping X
drawings so that it can be determined which trees may interfere with utilities. In
general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utilities
easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots
and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the
foreseeable future. LOR Sec. 7.5-18.1 gives public utilities the authority to
remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or
public rights-of-way.
2. Department of HRS permits will be required for the water and sewer systems X
serving this project. (Sec. 26-12).
3. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating compliance with the city X
code requirement of 1500 g.p.m. as stated in LDR Chap. 6, Art., Sec. 16, or the
requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater. (See Sec.
26-16(aa)). Please submitthese calculations with your HRS permit submittal.
4. Sec. 26-34(E) of the city code requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for X
this project either upon the Utility Department's request for signature on the
Health Department application forms or within 30 days of site plan approval,
whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final meter size,
or expected demand.
5. Comp Plan policy 3C.3.4 requires the conservation of potable water. City water X
may, therefore, not be used for irrigation where other sources are readily
available.
6. Provide an engineer's written certification that drainage will conform to all rules X
of the city and the South Florida Water Management District. (LDR Chap. 4,
Sec. 7F).
7. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the city shall be included X
within utilities easements. Please show all proposed easements on the
engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The easements shall

the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants.
I
I
9. Appropriate backflow preventers will be required on any fire sprinkler line if ~\. i
there is one, in accordance with Sec. 26-207.
10. The off-site water and sewer mains serving this parcel were oversized, at city )~
expense, to accommodate the future development now proposed. Section 26-34
of the city code allows the city to recover this cost, plus interest, from
developers. The costs per equivalent dwelling unit are as follows:
Potable water = $441.39
Sewer = $161.29
The costs are in addition to the regular capital facilities charges for water and
sewer.
As a partial offset for these fees, credits are due for the donation of the parcel
containing the water storage tank on Miner Road. The credits cannot be
calculated until we have a firm number for the total number of units allowed for I
the entire Melear P.U.D.

PUBLIC WORKS
Comments: None
UTILITIES
Comments:
l. All utilities easements shall be shown on the permit set of rectified landscaping
drawings so that it can be determined which trees may interfere with utilities. In
general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utilities
easements. Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots
and branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the
foreseeable future. LDR Sec. 7.5-18.1 gives public utilities the authority to
remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in utility easements or
public rights-of-way.
2. Department of HRS permits will be required for the water and sewer systems
serving this project. (Sec. 26-12).
3. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating compliance with the city
code requirement of 1500 g.p.m. as stated in LDR Chap. 6, Art., Sec. 16, or the
requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater. (See Sec.
26-16(aa)). Please submit these calculations with your HRS permit submittal.
4. Sec. 26-34(E) of the city code requires that a capacity reservation fee be paid for
this project either upon the Utility Department's request for signature on the
Health Department application forms or within 30 days of site plan approval,
whichever occurs first. This fee will be determined based upon final meter size,
or expected demand.
5. Comp Plan policy 3C.3.4 requires the conservation of potable water. City water
may, therefore, not be used for irrigation where other sources are readily
available.
6. Provide an engineer's written certification that drainage will conform to all rules
of the city and the South Florida Water Management District. (LDR Chap. 4,
Sec.7F).
7. Water and sewer lines to be owned and operated by the city shall be included
within utilities easements. Please show all proposed easements on the
engineering drawings, using a minimum width of 12 feet. The easements shall
be dedicated via separate instrument to the City as stated in Sec. 26-33 (a) of the
code.

8. LDR Chap. 6, Article IV, Sec. 16 requires all points on each building to be
within 200 feet of an existing or proposed fire hydrant. Please demonstrate that
the plan meets this condition, by showing all hydrants.
9. Appropriate backflow preventers will be required on any fire sprinkler line if
there is one, in accordance with Sec. 26-207.
10. The off-site water and sewer mains serving this parcel were oversized, at city
expense, to accommodate the future development now proposed. Section 26-34
of the city code allows the city to recover this cost, plus interest, from
developers. The costs per equivalent dwelling unit are as follows:
Potable water = $441.39
Sewer = $161.29
The costs are in addition to the regular capital facilities charges for water and
sewer.
As a partial offset for these fees, credits are due for the donation of the parcel
containing the water storage tank on Miner Road. The credits cannot be
calculated until we have a firm number for the total number of units allowed for
the entire Melear P.U.D.
FIRE
Comments: None
POLICE
Comments:
11. The plans show a proposed median cut and left turn lane for northbound traffic to
make a left turn into Via Lugano. This has been approved. The plans also show
a left turn lane for southbound traffic at the same median break on Congress
A venue. The Police Department does not recommend this left turn lane. There
are no logistics behind this maneuver. Dos Lagos condominiums are located to
the east of this site and is fully developed. There is no ingress to Dos Lagos in
this area, thereby making this a u-turn only location.
12. The Police Department recommends a Congress Avenue right turn/deceleration
lane for southbound traffic turning into the driveway.
ENGINEERING DIVISION
Comments:
13. Need to show locations of stop signs and stop bars at all intersections. Locations

sewer) to be submitted through Engineering Department for processing in

DERM, L WDD, DEP and any others, shall be included with your permit
