| | PROJECT: 321 15TH ST LANDSCAPE PERMIT 19010941, TREE |
| | ALTERATION PERMIT APPLICATION REVIEW COMMENTS ARE |
| | INCLUDED FOR CONVENIENCE. |
| | JANUARY 30, 2019 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PERMIT, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. TREES ARE REQUIRED IN THE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS AT THE |
| | ENTRANCE, AND IN THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND AND TERMINAL |
| | ISLAND ADJACENT TO THE DUMPSTER IN THE WEST ROW OF |
| | PARKING. PROVIDE THE REQUIRED TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND |
| | AT THE END OF EACH ROW OF PARKING WITH THE REQUIRED |
| | TREE. COCONUT PALM DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 2. ON THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS CHART, CORRECT THE |
| | SITE LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS TO SHOW THE SHADE TREE AND |
| | FLOWERING TREE CALCULATIONS BASED ON 40% REQUIRED OPEN |
| | SPACE, AND CORRECT THE FLOWERING TREE CALCULATIONS TO 1 |
| | PER 6000 AS UPDATED IN CODE. |
| | |
| | 3. UPDATE THE FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE DESIGN OPTIONS |
| | CHART TO PROVIDE ITEMS THAT QUALIFY. |
| | ? PROVIDE DESCRIPTION OF THE QUALIFYING EQUIPMENT FOR |
| | THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM OTHER THAN THE STATE REQUIRED |
| | RAIN SWITCH. |
| | ? SHRUBS DO NOT MEET THE 51% NATIVE CLAIMED. 706 TOTAL, |
| | 125 NATIVE=17.75%. |
| | ? TREES MUST MEET THE 51% NATIVE CLAIMED. |
| | |
| | 4. FOR THE DUMPSTER, PROVIDE THE REQUIRED HEDGE AROUND |
| | THE THREE SIDES OF THE ENCLOSURE. THIS CAN BE COMBINED |
| | WITH THE REQUIRED TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND AND TREE. |
| | |
| | 5. SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 94-445 L. PLANT |
| | SPECIES. A MINIMUM OF 60 PERCENT OF PLANT MATERIAL |
| | ADDED SHALL BE FLORIDA NATIVE OR DROUGHT TOLERANT |
| | SPECIES SELECTED FROM THE CITY LIST OR THE LIST OF |
| | SPECIES IN THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF SOUTH FLORIDA |
| | WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WATERWISE SOUTH FLORIDA |
| | LANDSCAPES. PROVIDE THE PERCENTAGE ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 6. PLEASE SHOW LOCATIONS OF WATER, SEWER, FIRE LINES, |
| | DRAINAGE LINES AND FPL TRANSFORMERS ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | PLAN AND RESOLVE CONFLICTS WITH LANDSCAPING. |
| | |
| | 7. LIGHTING LOCATIONS AND DESIGN NEED TO BE ADJUSTED TO |
| | AVOID CONFLICT WITH EXISTING AND REQUIRED TREES. THE |
| | LIGHTING ENGINEER NEEDS TO BE MADE AWARE OF THESE |
| | REQUIREMENTS AND SITE CONDITIONS TO DESIGN LIGHTING TO |
| | BE EFFECTIVE AT ACCOMPLISHING THE PROPER LIGHTING OF |
| | THE PARKING AREA. SHORTER LIGHT POLES THAT ARE UNDER |
| | THE TREE CANOPY SHOULD BE USED AND PLACED |
| | APPROPRIATELY. |
| | |
| | |
| | COMMENTS ON TREE ALTERATION PERMIT APPLICATION |
| | TP19-1711: |
| | 1. THE LARGE BLACK OLIVE TREES #6 AND #7ARE IN GOOD |
| | CONDITION, AND STAFF REQUESTS THAT ALTERNATIVE METHODS |
| | BE EXPLORED TO REPAIR THE PARKING LOT DAMAGE. THE TREES |
| | CAN BE PRUNED PROPERLY BY A CERTIFIED ARBORIST TO |
| | REDUCE THE CANOPY, CLEAN AND LIFT TO IMPROVE THE |
| | STRUCTURE AND ROOT PRUNE SO THE REPAIR THE ASPHALT |
| | SURFACE CAN BE COMPLETED. CURBS MAY BE REMOVED TO SAVE |
| | THE TREES. THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND CAN BE EXPANDED TO THE |
| | WEST FOR TREE #6. |
| | |
| | 2. ALL THE TREES SHOULD BE EVALUATED AND PRUNED BY A |
| | CERTIFIED ARBORIST. THE LIVE OAK TREE #12 DOES NOT NEED |
| | TO BE REMOVED UNLESS THERE IS A GOOD REASON, AS IT IS A |
| | REQUIRED TREE. THIS SITE AND THE TREES HAVE BEEN |
| | UNMAINTAINED FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 YEARS, AND A DESIRABLE |
| | TREE CANOPY CAN BE SALVAGED FROM THE EXISTING TREES |
| | WITH SOME ATTENTION TO MAINTENANCE. |
