Site Plan SP16-326 was approved by Town Council on September 27, 2017 with 10 conditions. The 10 conditions have been restated in the staff recommendations and include the status of each one. On SP16-326, the R-2 lots were assigned more restrictive setbacks consistent with the R-1 SP18-314_PZ_Rpt Pg. 1 of 4 district. The proposed plan revises the setbacks of the R-2 lots to match the R-2 setback standard. The remaining changes include: addition of a temporary sales trailer and parking lot, addition of a security gate and call box and addition of model homes and landscape plans. The applicant has completed the public participation process (see attached report). Note that the following issues are unresolved at this time: o Request to build a fence along the northern property line to protect the existing Harmony Lakes fence from damage by horses. The applicant indicated they would be willing to construct an additional chain link fence if the Town Council determined it was necessary. Staff is not requesting installation of an additional fence as it would reduce the width of the horse trail. o Request to preserve some of the existing oak trees in the eastern portion of the preserve area. Prior to any clearing or grubbing permits or tree/relocation permits being issued the applicant will need to submit a revised tree mitigation plan. The existing trees will be further evaluated as part of the tree removal/relocation permit; however, it does not appear that there is sufficient upland to support new or relocated canopy trees. o Request to install exterior landscaping, fencing and the preserve first in order to minimize visual and noise impacts on the surrounding neighbors.

Concurrent Request(s): N/A SP18-314_PZ_Rpt Pg. 2 of 4 TOWN OF DAVIE PLANNING & ZONING DIVISION 6591 ORANGE DRIVE DAVIE, FLORIDA 33314-3399 Phone: 954.797.1103 www.davie-fl.gov Analysis 1. Site: The subject site is generally located on the east side of Hiatus, between State Road 84 and Southwest 26th Street. A canal, equestrian trail, right-of-way (Hiatus Road) and landscape buffer provides a separation from the existing adjacent residential communities. 2. The site design includes 79 single-family lots and is consistent with the design provisions of the rural lifestyle with a loop-pattern street system, a water body, preserve area, park and limited dead-end streets. The streets within the development are 50 foot wide right-of-ways with swales, street trees and sidewalks on both sides. 3. Architecture: The architecture of the one and two-story single-family detached homes reflects a contemporary design. The site plan includes 5 models with various color palettes, exterior accents and roof tiles. The roofs will consist of flat tile, while exterior walls are to be painted in an earth tone palette of colors. 4. Access and Parking: The access to the site will be located within the northwest corner of the site through a 50 foot opening off Hiatus Road. Each single-family home will comply with the minimum required parking spaces within driveways and garages. There will be a security gate and call box at the front entrance. The gated entry provides ample stacking and room for a single unit truck to safely turn out after passing the call box. 5. Lighting: The photometric design for the parking lot next to the mail kiosk complies with code but the proposed fixture is not consistent with Sec 12-262 – Night sky regulations (see condition below). 6. Signage: The plans include two ground mounted entry monument signs. The structures are compliant with code and the signage will be reviewed through a building permit. 7. Landscaping: The landscape design depicts 476 trees, 46 palms and 6,704 shrubs and groundcover plants. The design includes street trees, a landscaped entrance feature, the scenic corridor buffer along the western boundary and a landscape buffer along the southern boundary (not required by code). 8. Drainage: The proposed drainage design includes 20 foot swales between certain residential lots and a lake tract of 6.51 acres. Additionally, the site has been deemed to contain jurisdictional wetlands and the design also includes a 25 acre preservation area within the eastern portion of property. 9. Compatibility: The proposed residential use and overall design of the site is considered compatible with surrounding uses. SP18-314_PZ_Rpt Pg. 3 of 4 Recommendations Staff finds the application complete and suitable for transmittal for further consideration. If approved, staff recommends the following: 1. Prior to approval of the Site Plan, the applicant shall revise the photometric plan to show changes to the community entrance and show a fully cutoff light fixture in the park that is compliant with the Night sky regulations. 2. Prior to issuance of a building permit for a single family home, record the declaration of restrictions and other documents necessary to ensure proper maintenance and control of the common elements (documents shall be in a form acceptable to the Town Attorney). Conditions imposed on Site Plan SP16-326: 3. Revise plans to extend the channel in the preserve area to the outfall structure (Satisfied – See sheet C-4) 4. Revise photometric plan to show a fully cutoff, fully shielded light fixture compliant with Night sky regulations and a LED luminary compliant with street lighting regulations (Satisfied). 5. Prior to commencement of any land clearing, the applicant shall take reasonable steps to ensure that nuisance animal species disturbed by such land clearing do not pose an undue burden on neighboring properties 6. Provide five (5) foot wide sidewalks within the Hiatus Road right-of-way (Satisfied – See sheet C-5) 7. Landscaping contractor shall adhere to all notes including calling for a pre-planting inspection prior to planting 8. Lots 68, 79, 29, 48, 67, 9, 53, 73, 38 and 39 shall not be permitted to add a driveway within 50 feet of the edge of the closest intersection. On lots 8 and 35 the developer shall work with staff to locate the driveway as far away from the intersection as possible 9. Applicant shall ensure that during construction the applicant’s contractor will clean any debris, dirt or material from Hiatus Road on a daily basis 10. Applicant shall be responsible for any damage caused to Hiatus Road during construction and any repairs caused by such damage that are caused by applicant’s construction on the frontage road of their property shall be repaired 11. Prior to issuance of the 20th Certificate of Occupancy, developer shall complete construction of the northbound and southbound turn lanes on Hiatus Road 12. As a condition of approval for the Sierra Ranch project, Home Dynamics agrees to resolve the outstanding wetland mitigation agreement with the Town of Davie, approved via Resolution 2004-281 and amended via Resolution 2007-327.

  • Trends and Challenges in Brownfield Revitalization: a Gis Based Approach
    XVII International Scientific Conference on Industrial Systems (IS'17) Novi Sad, Serbia, October 4. – 6. 2017. University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Department for Industrial Engineering and Management Available online at http://www.iim.ftn.uns.ac.rs/is17 TRENDS AND CHALLENGES IN BROWNFIELD REVITALIZATION: A GIS BASED APPROACH Jelena Ignjatić (Urban and Spatial Planning Institute of Vojvodina, Železnička 6/III, Novi Sad, 21000 Serbia, [email protected]) Bojana Nikolić (University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Trg Dositeja Obradovića 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected]) Aeksandar Rikalović (University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Technical Sciences, Trg Dositeja Obradovića 6, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia, [email protected]) Abstract Brownfield sites have negative effects on the spatial, economic, environmental and social aspects of community life. During the past decades, examples of good practice around the world showed that the revitalization of brownfields contributed to material and non-material prosperity, and the realization of a sustainable economic and social development. Once large corporations, who represented the foundation of economic development of Vojvodina, Serbia, are now mainly devastated and powerless to independently find a solution for revitalization. Investors are faced with the problem of non-defined, disorganized and unregulated locations, but primarily with the lack of associated database, which would shorten the process of selecting the most suitable location. To activate brownfield sites, it is necessary to pinpoint these locations, and conduct a detailed analysis. When it comes to trends in revitalization of brownfields in the practice of other countries, the use of geographic information systems (GIS) has proven to be one of the most effective tools for visualization of attributes of the brownfields in terms of socio-economic factors, the environment, and the immediate surrounding of the location.

Anne Arendt, Associate Professor; Utah Valley University, Department of Technology Management [email protected] Armen Ilikchyan, Assistant Professor; Utah Valley University, Department of Technology Management [email protected] Robert Warcup, Associate Professor; Utah Valley University, Department of Construction Technologies [email protected] SUMMARY: This document analyzes the awareness and perceived relevance of geographic information systems and related technologies by construction industry general contractors via an exploratory survey of individuals in the field. A quantitative survey was developed based on an extensive literature review and meta-analysis. The survey was then administered at the Association of General Contractors (AGC) 2018 convention in New Orleans, LA. Eighty-eight construction industry related individuals participated. When asked if they were familiar with GIS, a tool for organizing data so it can be displayed and analyzed based on its geospatial characteristics, 32.95% (n=29) said they were not, 57.95% (n=51) said they were, and 9.09% (n=8) did not respond to the question. The researchers further assessed respondents who stated yes to familiarity with GIS or left it blank in depth. Within this group, the greatest perceived relevance was in property and site survey maps (4.37 average), digital mapping (4.22 average), engineering surveys (3.95 average), and topographic or planimetric mapping (3.95 average).

    I. What is a Site Plan Review? Site Plan Review is a process where the construction of new buildings, new additions, and certain types of canopies and/or tax-exempt institutions are reviewed by the City Planning staff and the City Council. The City reviews the new site in order to improve the functionality or mitigate any potential adverse impacts of the proposed development on neighboring properties. The end result of the process is for the applicant to obtain a special use permit. II. What Type of Development Requires Site Plan Review? There are five situations where a site plan review is required: All New Developments This does not include single or two-family dwellings. Substantial Additions Additions to buildings, or new accessory buildings, when a) the addition or new accessory building is greater than 25% of the existing principal building; b) the addition or new accessory building exceeds 1,000 square feet in gross floor area; c) curb cuts are required; or d) when such new construction reduces existing parking or significantly modifies existing on-site circulation (this does not include single or two-family dwellings). Canopies Canopies constructed over existing walkways, loading docks, or pump islands, where such new construction reduces existing parking or significantly modifies existing on-site circulation. Tax Exemption Person, association, corporation, religious institution, charity or foundation that has been designated by any governmental entity as exempt from payment of any tax levied by the city seeking to purchase or occupy real property in University City per the Municipal Code. Amendments Amendments to any of the above.

  • Site Plan Checklist
    HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SITE PLAN The #1 reason for delays in approving permit applications is incomplete Site Plans. Please refer to checklist inside. A site plan is needed to review your development proposal for zoning, addressing, sanitation, and building requirements. Producing a complete site plan will take a little time, but time spent now will speed up your application process later. YOUR SITE PLAN MUST BE ON AN 11” X 17” SHEET OF PAPER. ALL OTHER SIZES WILL BE REJECTED. (No blue print stock) • Please, use the blank form provided in this guide • I Five Tips Before You Start N 1 Talk to a Planner Prior to submitting a development application, meet with a planner to discuss potential land use issues and required setbacks. F • Planners are available from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm Monday thru Friday, or you can call 682-3577. O 2 Check Your Records To help you create your site plan, get a copy of the Assessor’s tax map that shows your property configuration, as well as other sources of information such as aerial photos, deed and title records, an appraiser’s report, or surveys. 3 Tools You Will Need G Before beginning, you will need an engineer’s scale, for measuring distances, scaling your site plan and to serve as a straightedge. An engineer’s scale can be purchased at an office supply store. Use a pencil or pen. U 4 Draw to a Scale Divisible by 10 I A uniform drawing scale is important to accurately display how various elements of your development proposal fit together.
