Re: Pirates World '
Dear Mr. Walden: _
Following our discussions=of last Monday, we are enclosing
twenty-one (21) copies. of the site plan with the municipal
boundaries shown boldly, also the separation between the pro-
posed residential and commercial use of the land.
One copy of this plan is for your own use and has added in-
formation in the form of the number of stories and units per
building. For the purpose of keeping the number of units
with twelve (12) units. per, acre in the City of Hollywood sec-
tor, this particular building will have, 180 units. (See attach-
ed schedule)
All buildings are proposed to have parking within the ground
story in order to lessen the asphalt paving areas externally
of the buildings, and to provide closer access from the park-
ing areas to the building entries. -
-An extract of our report is also attached which should assist
you in the personal letters you are sending out. In regard
to this, we would appreciate receiving copies of such letters..
Very truly yours,

Proposed Design Concept
The site poses two development design constraints which
affect the overall concept. The project must relate to .the
low topography, and also provide enough housing units'I' to
justify developing the land.
Low-rise or mid-rise 6onstruction would require use of too
much of the land, excessive filling, and prohibitive .infra
structure costs. The number of dwelling. units in such a z:
plan would_ not justify--the costs.
An alternative to this 'approach is .the construction of a� good.
quality, well landscaped high-rise development_ -The build-
quality,would be designed with a variety of unit sizes, each
enjoy an excellent view.
building oriented on the site to
The existing landscaping (left from the former amusement
ed and enhanced with additional work_
park) would be retain
A nine-hole golf course would wind through the northern and
eastern sides of the tract, -and the waterways would be equip-
ped with pleasant adjoining landscaping. Thus, units closer
to the around would provide views of the water, golf course
and plantings Upper floors would provide views of -the Intra-
way and the ocean to the east, or the pj'oject's _
coastal Water
park-like setting inother directions.
The ground levels of the buildings would serve as parking
along with the lots near the road. Thus, the lowest habit-
able floor level would beat the second floor, at least 8.0
feet above mean sea level, as specified by the Flood Insurance
es would be accessible by attractive
Administration. The structur
entrances from the landscaped central boulevard.. The maximum
elevations of buildings would be 160 0 feet 1��SL, which is with
in the Fort Lauderdale Airport threshold zone height require-
ments.
A future phase . of the development would be a community commercial
site on Sheridan Boulevard, on approximately 6.8 acres_ This
site would utilize the same landscaping and architectural
themes as the residential development, and could provide apgrox
imutely 80, 000 'square feet of space_
The following general pattern of land uses is proposed -in the
design concept. . This pattern would have. to be accomodated
within amended zoning districts in the area_ The a anges
in zoning needed are covered in the section on Permits and
Approvals.
