| | PLEASE RESPOND IN WRITING. |
| | |
| | 1) NEW COMMENT: THE BUILDING IS NOT SHOWN ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN WITH THE SAME SETBACKS AS ARE SHOWN ON |
| | THE SURVEY. EX. THE SURVEY SHOWS A 5 FOOT SETBACK ALONG |
| | THE WEST PROPERTY LINE AND THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SHOWS THE |
| | BUILDING WITH A 4.5 FOOT BUFFER STRIP/BUILDING SETBACK. |
| | PLEASE USE THE SURVEY AS A BASE FOR THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 1) REPEAT COMMENT: THE OPEN SPACE DATA PROVIDED ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE TABLE IS INCORRECT. THERE IS MUCH MORE THAN |
| | 7,744.58 SQUARE FEET OF OPEN SPACE ON THE SITE. THE |
| | CITY DEFINES OPEN SPACE AS ANY AREA NOT OCCUPIED BY A |
| | BUILDING. USING THE SITE SQUARE FOOTAGE PROVIDED ON THE |
| | SURVEY, STAFF CALCULATES THAT THERE ARE 17,613.2 SQUARE |
| | FEET OF REQUIRED OPEN SPACE ON THE SITE. PLEASE |
| | RECALCULATE THE AMOUNT OF REQUIRED LANDSCAPE MATERIAL. |
| | |
| | 2) NEW COMMENT: THE LANDSCAPE DATA TABLE SHALL INCLUDE |
| | THE PERCENTAGE OF LANDSCAPE ON THE SITE. PLEASE NOTE |
| | THAT A MINIMUM OF 15% IS REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 3) REPEAT COMMENT: PROVIDE DIMENSIONS ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | PLAN FOR ALL OF THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS AND LANDSCAPE |
| | PARKING LOT ISLANDS. |
| | |
| | 4) REPEAT COMMENT: ALL LANDSCAPE ISLANDS SHALL BE A |
| | MINIMUM OF FIVE (5) FEET IN PLANTED WIDTH (INSIDE OF |
| | THE CURBS WHERE PROVIDED) AND PROTECTED FROM VEHICULAR |
| | ENCROACHMENT BY A TYPE "D" CURB. |
| | |
| | 5) REVISED COMMENT: BASED ON THE SURVEY, THE WIDTH FROM |
| | THE WALKWAY NORTH OF THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE |
| | BUILDING TO THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE APPEARS TO BE 64 |
| | FEET AT ITS NARROWEST POINT. THIS PERMITS THE 2 PARKING |
| | ROWS, THE 24 FOOT WIDE DRIVE AISLE AND A FOUR (4) FOOT |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER. STAFF RECOMMENDS THE USE OF THE D |
| | CURB WITH TWO FOOT OVERHANG IN LIEU OF WHEEL STOPS FOR |
| | A WIDER BUFFER. EACH ADONIDIA PALM IN THE NORTHERN |
| | BUFFER SHALL BE DOUBLE TRUNK TO COUNT AS ONE TREE UNIT |
| | (FOR A TOTAL OF 3 TREE UNITS). |
| | |
| | 6) REVISED COMMENT: PROVIDE A FIVE (5) FOOT WIDE |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG THE ENTIRE WESTERN PROPERTY |
| | LINE. THE CURB SHALL NOT BE COUNTED AS PART OF THE FIVE |
| | (5) FOOT BUFFER. |
| | |
| | 7) REVISED COMMENT: THE SCREENING FOR THE CHECK VALVE |
| | SHALL BE ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE TO SCREEN THE VALVE |
| | FROM THE PUBLIC. |
| | |
| | 8) REPEAT COMMENT: NO GROUNDCOVER OR SHRUBS MAY EXCEED |
| | 18 INCHES WITHIN THE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE (INCORRECTLY |
| | STATED ON THE NOTES TABLE). PLEASE INDICATE THE |
| | VISIBILITY TRIANGLE ON THE LANDSCAPE PLANS. THE |
| | VISIBILITY TRIANGLE IS MEASURED 20 FEET BACK FROM THE |
| | CORNER ALONG BOTH PARKER AVENUE AND CONNISTON ROAD. |
| | THERE IS A PORTION OF THE COCOPLUM HEDGE SHOWN WITHIN |
| | THE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE. |
| | |
| | 9) NEW COMMENT: THE EASTERN TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND |
| | FOR THE EAST/WEST PARKING SPACES IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF |
| | THE BUILDING ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SITE SHALL BE |
| | FIVE (5) FEET WIDE WHEN MEASURED FROM THE INSIDE FACES |
| | OF THE CURB, NOT OUTSIDE FACE AS SHOWN. REDUCING THE |
| | SPACES TO THE WEST OF THE ISLAND TO 8.5 FEET WILL GAIN |
| | SOME ADDITIONAL SPACE HERE. PLEASE NOTE THAT SINCE THE |
| | D CURBS ARE 8 INCHES IN WIDTH, THE OUTSIDE MEASURE FOR |
| | THE ISLAND NEEDS TO BE A MINIMUM OF 6 FEET FOUR INCHES |
| | (6'4"). |
| | |
| | 10) NEW COMMENT: THERE IS A DISCREPANCY IN THE WIDTH OF |
| | THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE BUFFER, INCLUDING THE CURB, |
| | ALONG THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE |
| | BUILDING - SHOWN ON THE SURVEY (6 FEET WIDE) AND THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN (3.5 FEET WIDE). THIS DISCREPANCY LEADS |
| | TO THE LAYOUT ISSUES WITH THE EASTERN PARKING LOT, |
| | PARTICULARLY THE AMOUNT OF SPACE AVAILABLE FOR THE |
| | SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE BUFFER. PLEASE USE SURVEY AS A BASE |
| | FOR THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 11) REVISED COMMENT: THE SOUTHERN LANDSCAPE BUFFER, |
| | EAST OF THE BUILDING, SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF FIVE (5) |
| | FEET IN WIDTH, EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS: |
| | |
| | A) AT THE HEAD OF THE PARKING SPACES, WHERE BASED ON |
| | THE SURVEY DIMENSIONS THERE IS APPROXIMATELY TWO (2) |
| | FEET IN WIDTH. THIS SECTION SHALL BE ACCURATELY SHOWN |
| | ON THE LANDSCAPE PLANS. THE TWO (2) FOOT BUFFER STRIP |
| | SHALL INCLUDE A HEDGE AND THIN TRUNKED TREES OR PALMS |
| | PLACED SO THAT THEY ARE LOCATED BETWEEN PARKING SPACES. |
| | DUE TO THE LIMITED SPACE OF THE SOUTHERN BUFFER, THERE |
| | SHALL BE A TYPE D CURB USED IN LIEU OF WHEEL STOPS SO |
| | THAT THE SOUTHERN TWO (2) FEET OF EACH PARKING SPACE IS |
| | A VEHICLE OVERHANG AREA TO ALLOW THE ROOTS FOR THE |
| | TREES AND HEDGES MORE ROOM TO GROW. THE OVERHANG AREA |
| | SHALL BE MAINTAINED AS SOD. |
| | |
| | B) WHERE THE RELOCATED DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE OPENING WILL |
| | BE. |
| | |
| | C) WHERE THE EMERGENCY EGRESS SIDEWALK WILL BE AT THE |
| | SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 12) REVISED COMMENT: THE NEW TERMINAL ISLANDS FOR THE |
| | MIDDLE PARKING AREA EAST OF THE BUILDING SHALL BE FIVE |
| | (5) FEET WIDE WHEN MEASURED INSIDE THE CURBS, NOT |
| | OUTSIDE AS SHOWN. THE ADDITIONAL AREA CAN BE ACHIEVED |
| | BY NARROWING THE EASTERNMOST NORTH/SOUTH DRIVE AISLE. |
| | SINCE THERE IS NO PARKING BACKING ONTO THIS DRIVE |
| | AISLE, THE MINIMUM WIDTH REQUIRED FOR TWO WAY TRAFFIC |
| | IS 20 FEET. THE CURRENT PLANS SHOW IT AT 24 FEET IN |
| | WIDTH. |
| | |
| | 13) NEW COMMENT: THE SOUTHERN ROW OF PARKING MAY NOT |
| | HAVE MORE THAN TEN PARKING SPACES IN A ROW WITHOUT AN |
| | INTERIOR LANDSCAPE ISLAND (5 FEET MINIMUM INTERIOR |
| | WIDTH) WITH A TREE. PLEASE NOTE THAT IT APPEARS THAT |
| | THE WESTERN TERMINAL ISLAND (LARGE ONE) COULD BE |
| | REDUCED IN SIZE TO MAKE UP FOR THE INTERIOR ISLAND WITH |
| | NO PARKING SPACES LOST (SUBJECT TO THE SPACE REQUIRED |
| | FOR THE RELOCATED DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE AND THE REQUIRED |
| | TERMINAL ISLAND LANDSCAPE) OR THE SPACES COULD BE |
| | REDUCED IN WIDTH TO 8.5 FEET. |
| | |
| | 14) REVISED COMMENT: PROVIDE VERIFICATION THAT A |
| | MINIMUM OF 30% OF THE LINEAR FEET AROUND THE BUILDING |
| | CONTAINS FOUNDATION PLANTING. BASED ON THE DIMENSIONS |
| | PROVIDE ON THE SURVEY, STAFF CALCULATES THAT THE |
| | FOUNDATION OF THE BUILDING CONTAINS 641.6 LINEAR FEET, |
| | NOT 557 AS LISTED ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THIS REQUIRES |
| | A MINIMUM OF 193 LINEAR FEET OF FOUNDATION PLANNING. |
| | STAFF MEASURED ONLY 250 LINEAR FEET OF FOUNDATION |
| | PLANTING, NOT 298 LINEAR FEET AS LISTED, WHICH MEETS |
| | THE MINIMUM REQUIRED FOUNDATION PLANTING. |
| | |
| | 15) NEW COMMENT: THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED PERIMETER |
| | BUFFER TREES IS INCORRECTLY LISTED ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | DATA TABLE. THE LINEAR FEET SHOWN ON THE TABLE ARE LESS |
| | THAN THE TOTAL LINEAR FEET OF THE PROJECT AS LISTED ON |
| | THE SURVEY. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED |
| | TREES IS CALCULATED INDEPENDENTLY FOR EACH BUFFER AND |
| | ALL ROUNDING IS TO THE NEXT HIGHER WHOLE NUMBER - IT |
| | DOES NOT APPEAR THE WEST BUFFER HAS ENOUGH TREES. THE |
| | DATA TABLE OR THE PLAN SHALL CLEARLY STATE THE BUFFER |
| | TREES. DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE BUILDING TO THE |
| | SOUTHERN PROPERTY LINE, YOU WILL NEED TO CLUSTER THE |
| | TREES ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY LINE. PLEASE REMEMBER |
| | THAT TWO PALM TREES ARE REQUIRED TO COUNT AS ONE TREE |
| | AND BE COGNIZANT THAT NO MORE THAN 35% OF THE REQUIRED |
| | TREES MAY BE PALM TREES. |
| | |
| | 16) NEW COMMENT: WHY DOES THE NORTH/SOUTH SIDEWALK ON |
| | THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING TERMINATE IN A HEDGE? IF |
| | THE DESIRE IS TO NOT HAVE THIS EXTEND TO THE ALLEY, |
| | THEN ITS TERMINUS SHOULD BE FACTORED INTO THE SITE |
| | DESIGN (EX. AT BENCHES IN THE LARGE LANDSCAPE ISLAND OR |
| | AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACES). |
| | |
| | 17) NEW COMMENT: THE NOTES LIST INCORRECTLY STATES THAT |
| | HEDGES WILL BE MAINTAINED AT 30 INCHES. THE CITY'S |
| | LANDSCAPE REGULATIONS REQUIRE MAINTENANCE OF HEDGES AT |
| | 40 INCHES. |
| | |
| | 18) NEW COMMENT: DETAIL D ON SHEET SP 1.1 IS REFERENCED |
| | AS THE CURBING TO PROTECT THE LANDSCAPE FROM VEHICULAR |
| | ENCROACHMENT ON SHEET SP 1.3. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE |
| | CURB. THE DRAWINGS SHALL REFERENCE THE D CURB SHOWN ON |
| | SHEET C-5. |
