| | |
| | 1. BECAUSE TREES WILL BE REMOVED, A TREE ALTERATION |
| | PERMIT IS REQUIRED. THE APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE AT THE |
| | FRONT DESK OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. |
| | PLEASE SUBMIT (2) COPIES OF THE LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH THE |
| | APPLICATION. ALL EXISTING TREES SHALL BE IDENTIFIED AND |
| | THE STATUS (REMOVED, RELOCATED, REMAIN IN PLACE) SHALL |
| | BE PROVIDED. THERE ARE TWO HEALTHY QUEEN PALMS AT THE |
| | NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING THAT HAVE NOT BEEN |
| | ACCOUNTED FOR. |
| | |
| | 2. THE LIVE OAKS AND QUEEN PALMS LOCATED ALONG THE |
| | SOUTH AND EAST PERIMETER OF THE SITE ARE NOT FLORIDA #1 |
| | GRADE OR BETTER WHICH IS A REQUIREMENT. THE OAKS HAVE |
| | BEEN PREVIOUSLY HATRACKED AND THE PALMS ARE NOT HEALTHY |
| | OR OF PROPER SIZE. PERHAPS, THE CITY COULD ALLOW (2) OR |
| | (3) OF THEM TO REMAIN BUT THEY WOULD NEED TO BE |
| | RELOCATED TO A LESS CONSPICUOUS LOCATION AND GROUPED |
| | TOGETHER. |
| | |
| | 3. NEW TREES WILL BE REQUIRED ALONG THE EAST AND SOUTH |
| | PERIMETER OF THE SITE TO REPLACE THE EXISTING TREES |
| | THAT WILL NEED TO BE REMOVED. THERE ARE OVERHEAD WIRES |
| | ALONG THE SOUTH PERIMETER OF THE SITE. YOU SHALL COMPLY |
| | WITH FPL'S "PLANT THE RIGHT TREE IN THE RIGHT PLACE" |
| | GUIDELINES THAT RESTRICT THE SPECIES OF TREE THAT CAN |
| | BE PLANTED NEAR OR UNDER POWER LINES. IN ADDITION, |
| | THERE SHALL BE CONTINUITY WHEN SELECTING THE SPECIES. |
| | IF YOU DECIDE TO USE A PALM GROUPING, THEN ALL TREES |
| | WITHIN THE GROUPING SHALL BE OF THE SAME SPECIES. THE |
| | SAME APPLIES FOR PROPOSED TREES TO BE PLANTED ALONG |
| | EITHER THE EAST OR SOUTH SIDES OF THE SITE. |
| | |
| | 4. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443(E)(1), AT LEAST 30 |
| | PERCENT OF THE LINEAR FEET AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF ALL |
| | COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES SHALL BE PLANTED WITH TREES, |
| | SHRUBS OR HEDGES. BECAUSE THERE IS A LACK OF FOUNDATION |
| | PLANTING, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE HANDICAP SPACE BE |
| | SHIFTED TO THE SOUTH BY (5) FEET AND PROVIDE A PLANTING |
| | AREA IN THE LOCATION OF THE CURRENTLY PROPOSED HANDICAP |
| | MANEUVERING AREA. THE NEW MANEUVERING AREA WOULD BE |
| | ADJACENT TO THE PLANTING BED. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS |
| | AN ICE MACHINE THAT WILL NEED TO BE RELOCATED ELSEWHERE |
| | TO ALLOW PASSAGE TO THE FRONT DOOR FROM THE WEST. |
| | |
| | IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT |
| | KUSSNER @ (561) 822-1462. |
