1 | P a g e Responses to the Corradino Comments on Behalf of the City of Sunny Isles Beach (November 5, 2015) Re: Varadero Traffic Study 1. Appendix A / Site Plan – Highlight the valet area and required stacking lengths on the north and south entrances for valet drop-off / pick-up area. Response: Attachment A shows the site plan highlighting the valet areas and stacking distances. 2. Exhibits 14A, 15A & 16A – Please explain how demand rates were calculated? Response: The project proposes three separate valet drop-off / pick-up stations that will be located at each proposed residential lobby and at the hotel lobby. Project trips were distributed based on the number of unit and the uses assigned to each drop-off / pick-up area. Project trips were assigned to each station as shown on Exhibit 13 of the traffic report. As mention in the report, parking for the development will be all valet except for 85 assigned residential parking spaces that will be self parking. The self parking represents 11% of the parking spaces provided for the residential component therefore a deduction was taken to account for the project trips (residential only) not using valet. An overall 10% deduction was applied to account for transit/ pedestrian trips. Calculations showing the PM peak demand for each valet station are included in Attachment B. 3. Please conduct a study to determine if a pedestrian access to the beach at south side of the intersection of Collins Avenue / 189th Street is feasible. Response: A study to determine the feasibility of an at-grade pedestrian crosswalk on Collins Avenue south of 189th Street will be conducted. The study will be conducted following the requirements of the reviewing agencies. Attachment C shows a proposed methodology based on discussions with FDOT staff at a meeting held November 4, 2015.
