| | |
| | PLEASE RESPOND TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. PLEASE PROVIDE A CERTIFIED COST ESTIMATE THAT |
| | INCLUDES THE TOTAL COST OF ALL LANDSCAPE MATERIALS AND |
| | LABOR, BROKEN DOWN INTO UNIT COST. |
| | |
| | 2. PLEASE PROVIDE THE TABULATION NECESSARY FOR THE |
| | EVALUATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH ARTICLE XIV OF THE ZONING |
| | AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, INCLUDING THE |
| | XERISCAPE DESIGN OPTIONS. |
| | |
| | 3. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-442 (C), PALM TREES MAY BE |
| | SUBSTITUTED FOR NO MORE THAN 35 PERCENT OF THE SHADE OR |
| | FLOWERING TREES REQUIRED BY THIS ARTICLE. |
| | |
| | 4. THE PROPOSED FENCE WHERE IT IS ADJACENT TO A |
| | RIGHT-OF-WAY SHALL BE INSTALLED ALONG THE INTERIOR |
| | PERIMETER OF THE LANDSCAPE SETBACK WITH THE TREES AND |
| | LANDSCAPING INSTALLED ALONG THE STREET SIDE OF THE |
| | FENCE. |
| | |
| | 5. ALL EXISTING PALMS ADJACENT TO AUSTRALIAN AVENUE |
| | SHOULD BE RELOCATED OR REMOVED. MANY OF THEM ARE SICK |
| | AND NONE OF THE THEM ARE CONSISTENT WITH A NATIVE |
| | PLANTING. THE INITIAL CONCEPT WAS TO DUPLICATE THE |
| | PLANTING ON THIS SITE TO MATCH WHAT HAS BEEN PLANTED |
| | ALONG CLEAR LAKE. THE FIRST PHASE OF CLEAR LAKE IS |
| | FULLY UNDERPLANTED. WE ARE HOPEFULL THAT IN THE FUTURE, |
| | THE ENTIRE CORRIDOR ALONG AUSTRALIAN WILL BE |
| | UNDERPLANTED, AS WELL. THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM IS GOING |
| | TO BE OVERHAULED TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL UNDERPLANTING |
| | IN THE FUTURE. VERY LITTLE UNDERPLANTING HAS BEEN |
| | PROPOSED WITH THIS PROJECT. IN ADDITION, DAHOON HOLLY, |
| | PIGEON PLUM, LIVE OAK AND BALD CYPRESS WERE PLANTED. |
| | OTHER EXISTING NATIVE TREE SPECIES SUCH AS MAHOGANY AND |
| | GUMBO LIMBO ARE FOUND IN THAT PLANTING. THE |
| | UNDERPLANTING CONSISTS OF SAW PALMETTO, THRYALLIS, |
| | DWARF FIREBUSH, MUHLY GRASS, FAKAHATCHEE GRASS, |
| | COCOPLUM, WILD COFFEE AND OTHER PLANT SPECIES, AS WELL. |
| | I WOULD SUGGEST THAT NATIVE SLASH PINES BE INSTALLED ON |
| | BOTH SIDES OF AUSTRALIAN TO COMPLETE THE URBAN FOREST. |
| | THE PINES WOULD PROVIDE MULCH AND REDUCE MAINTENANCE AS |
| | THEY MATURE. |
| | |
| | 6. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (5) (A), LANDSCAPE |
| | AREAS SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM VEHICULAR USE AREAS BY |
| | NON-MOUNTABLE, CONCRETE CURBING OF THE TYPE |
| | CHARACTERIZED AS "TYPE D". THERE IS NO CURBING ADJACENT |
| | TO THE EXISTING PARKING AREAS. |
| | |
| | 7. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3) (B) ONE INTERIOR |
| | ISLAND SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR EVERY TEN PARKING SPACES |
| | OR FRACTION THERE. INTERIOR LANDSCAPE ISLANDS SHALL BE |
| | AT LEAST FIVE FEET WIDE, EXCLUDING THE REQUIRED |
| | CURBING, AND SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR |
| | FLOWERING TREE. THE SAME MINIMUM SIZE AND TREE |
| | REQUIREMENT APPLIES FOR TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLANDS. |
| | PLEASE SHOW THE STRIPING FOR ALL PARKING AREAS. |
| | |
| | 8. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (B) (1), FOR INDUSTRIAL |
| | USES, THE BUFFER STRIP SHALL BE AT LEAST TEN FEET SIDE |
| | ALONG THE EDGE OF PROPERTY WHEN ADJACENT TO A PUBLIC |
| | THOROUGHFARE AND AT LEAST FIVE FEET WIDE ALONG THE EDGE |
| | OF PROPERTY WHEN ADJACENT TO NONRESIDENTIAL ZONING |
| | DISTRICTS. THE LANDSCAPE STRIP ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF |
| | THE SITE TOWARD BANYAN DOES NOT MEET THE MINIMUM WIDTH |
| | REQUIREMENT. IN ADDITION, ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE |
| | SHALL BE PLANTED IN A REQUIRED BUFFER STRIP FOR EACH 30 |
| | LINEAR FEET OR PORTION THEREOF. A CONTINUOUS HEDGE |
| | SHALL ALSO BE REQUIRED. THERE ARE OTHER AREAS AROUND |
| | THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE THAT MAY NEED MORE TREES AND |
| | HEDGE MATERIAL TO COMPLY WITH THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 9. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-444 (B), OUTDOOR |
| | INCINERATORS, GARBAGE OR TRASH RECEPTACLES, FUEL OIL OR |
| | PROPANE TANKS, STORAGE RACKS AND OTHER MECHANICAL |
| | EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED UNLESS APPROPRIATE |
| | SCREENING IS PROVIDED. SCREENING SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED |
| | OF BRICK, DECORATIVE CONCRETE, OTHER DECORATIVE |
| | MASONRY, OR COMPARABLY DURABLE WOOD AND STEEL. WALLS |
| | SHALL BE LANDSCAPED WITH SHRUBS AND HEDGES PLANTED AT |
| | TWO-FOOT INTERVALS. PLEASE SHOW WHERE THE DUMPSTER(S) |
| | AND OTHER EQUIPMENT WILL BE LOCATED AND THE MANNER IN |
| | WHICH THESE ITEMS WILL BE SCREENED. A FOUR-SIDED |
| | ENCLOSURE WITH OBSCURING GATES IS REQUIRED FOR THE |
| | DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE (S). |
| | |
| | 10. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE GUARDRAILS BE CAMOUFLAGED |
| | THROUGH THE USE OF LOW GROWING PLANT MATERIAL PLANTED |
| | NEXT TO THEM. |
| | |
