Dear Mr. Weinand:
On behalf of GMH Tequesta, LLC, please accept this letter as a response to final
remarks included in the Viiiage of Tequesta Department of Community Development
staff report received on May 14, 2011 for the above referenced project. The comments,
and our responses, follow:
Comments: The following items need to be addressed by the applicant:
- The proposed evacuation plan needs to state that the areas served by
the 100 KW generator can house the building occupancy {oad untii
evacuation time.
- The plan needs to define means of transportation ensuring that it will
not burden the Village's EMS system.
- The proposed evacuation plan needs to focus on power outages due to
different reasons.
- In case of hurricanes, the proposed evacuation plan needs to include
that this facility is located in a Plan B evacuation area, and it shou(d
evacuate for alf major Hurricanes of category 3 or higher in strength (per
Palm Beach County evacuation provision).
RESPONSE: Licensing and CARF guidelines require Futures fo maintain an
evacuation plan settinq forth resident treatment and housing in the
event of a nafural disaster emergency sifuation or extended lass of
power. If a situation arises that will cause fhe building's electrical
power supply to be inferrupted for a significant period, the
operational plan is to relocate program residents at Futures'
expense to temporary housing located outside of the Village ot
Tequesta. The fransportation wifl be provided by FuPures-owned
vehicles or other hired means of transportation, it necessary. That
