ENGINEERING 1 Numerous errors and omiSSions have been noted on these proposed plans and in this review comments report. Drawings need to be thoroughly checked and coordinated by the consulting engineer. It is the responsibility of the consulting engineer to familiarize himself with and utilize the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations prior to submission of plans. Quality control is the responsibility of the consulting engineering - not the City of Boynton Beach. 2 Add a general note to the Site Plan that all plans submitted for specific permits shall meet the City's Code requirements at time of application These permits include, but are not limited to, the following: paving, drainage, curbing, site lighting, landscaping and irrigation.

UTILITIES 1 No utility plan was included with this submittal, therefore, the Utilities Department considers this plan incomplete as submitted. However, this proposed master site plan is located where utility support is available We are providing only a cursory review of the master site plan as submitted at this time. Additional comments will be required after a utility plan has been submitted. 2. All utility easements shall be shown on the site plan and landscape drawing so that we may determine which trees may interfere with utilities. In general, palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility 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. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 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 3. Fire flow calculations will be required demonstrating the City Code requirement of 1,500 g p.m. as stated in the LDR, Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 16, or the requirement imposed by insurance underwriters, whichever is greater (see CODE, Section 26-16(b)). 4. Appropriate backflow preventers will be required on the domestic water service to the building, and the fire sprinkler line if there is one, in accordance with CODE, Section 26-207 5 Comprehensive Plan Policy 3 C 34. requires the conservation of potable water. City water may not, therefore, be used for irrigation where other sources are readily available.
