Comment Originated: 08/22/2016
08/22/2016: The site disturbs more than 10,000 sq. ft., therefore Erosion and
Sediment Control Materials need to be submitted for FDP. The erosion control
requirements are in the Stormwater Design Criteria under the Amendments of
Volume 3 Chapter 7 Section 1.3.3. Current Erosion Control Materials Submitted do
not meet requirements. Please submit; Erosion Control Plan (Based off of redlines),
Erosion Control Report (was not found in submitted materials), and an Escrow /
Security Calculation (May need to be recalculated based on redlines). Also, based
upon the area of disturbance State permits for stormwater will be required since the
site is over an acre. If you need clarification concerning the erosion control section,
or if there are any questions please contact Jesse Schlam: jschlam@fcgov.com or

08/2312016: Drainage Plan — Thank you for including more than the minimum
requirement for LID. Also please note that the entire site is still required to be treated
with some form of water quality treatment, so the remaining balance (16%) will need
to be treated with standard water quality (WQCV in the form of extended detention is
probably the easiest option.)

08/24/2016: What is the size of the proposed park area? This development needs
to be within 1/4 mile of a public park, private park, or outdoor gathering space
without needing to cross an arterial street. For a private park, the park needs to be
at least 10,000 sq. ft. in size. It is unclear if the park/community space shown on the
site plan meets this code requirement.

needed to aid in wayfinding. Code language provided below.
> IFC 505.1: New and existing buildings shall have approved address numbers,
building numbers or approved building identification placed in a position that is plainly
legible, visible from the street or road fronting the property, and posted with a
minimum of six-inch numerals on a contrasting background. Where access is by
means of a private road and the building cannot be viewed from the public way, a
monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure.

modification is being requested.

09/01/2016: TEMPORARY ACCESS
Fire access and water supply are required before vertical construction can proceed,
same as commercial developments. The temporary road will also need to be
constructed prior to stockpiling of combustible materials on site. It will need to meet
minimum fire lane standards and support 40 tons. The connection at Center Ave will
require a posted address and any other signage needed to properly identify that as
the primary point of access into the development. If the access point is to be
secured after hours, we will need to agree on a means of access during those
times. The temporary connection will need to be maintained available and
unobstructed until the main entrance is completed.
