| | 4. PURSUANT TO SECTION 443(C)(2), SHADE TREES SHALL BE |
| | PLANTED AT 30-FOOT INTERVALS.THERE ARE GAPS OF UP TO |
| | 90 FEET BETWEEN THE TREES ALONG THE LANDSCAPE SETBACK |
| | ADJACENT TO OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD. PER 94-443(2)(C), |
| | REQUIRED SHADE OR FLOWERING TREES MAY BE PLANTED AT |
| | INTERVALS OR MAY BE CLUSTERED IF CLUSTERING IMPROVES |
| | THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BUFFER.IT HAS NOT BEEN |
| | DEMONSTRATED THAT THE NEWLY PROPOSED LANDSCAPING ALONG |
| | OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD HAS IMPROVED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF |
| | THE BUFFER.THE TREE SPECIES SELECTED DO NOT PROVIDE |
| | MUCH SCREENING.THE PROPOSED CREPE MYRTLE TREES ARE |
| | DECIDUOUS AND WILL BE BARE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS OF THE |
| | YEAR AND THE ROYAL PALMS WILL GROW TALL AND WILL |
| | PROVIDE VERY LITTLE SCREENING.THE EXISTING SLASH |
| | PINES AND EAST PALATKA HOLLY TREES PROPOSED TO BE |
| | REMOVED OFFER A MUCH DENSER BUFFER. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-448(D), HISTORIC TREES, |
| | SPECIMEN TREES AND ANY OTHER TREES OR VEGETATION |
| | LOCATED ON PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS |

| | ALTERATION LICENSE APPLICATION HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.THE |
| | APPLICANT SHALL REMOVE THE NOTE ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | DEMOLITION PLAN THAT REFERENCES PINE TREE REMOVAL. A |
| | TREE ALTERATION PERMIT CANNOT BE ISSUED UNLESS IT MEETS |
| | THE CRITERIA SET FORTH IN SECTION 94-448(D)(3)A-F. |
| | |
| | 6. THE APPLICANT IS ENCOURAGED TO MAXIMIZE THE FRONT 25 |
| | FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER BY MOVING THE HEDGE AWAY FROM THE |
| | STREET TO ALLOW MORE GREEN AREA TO BE VIEWED FROM |
| | OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD.HOWEVER, ALL VEHICLES SHALL BE |
| | SCREENED FROM THE RIGHT-OF-WAY BY A HEDGE WHICH WOULD |
| | INCLUDE THE DISPLAY AREAS.SHOULD THE MAJORITY OF |
| | HEDGE BE MOVED BACK, A SECTION OF HEDGE WOULD STILL |
| | NEED TO BE PLANTED IN FRONT OF THE DISPLAY AREA. |
| | PERHAPS IF THE APPLICANT EXPANDED THE PLANTING AREA AS |
| | VIEWED FROM THE STREET, THE GROUPING OF TREES MENTIONED |
| | ABOVE COULD BE ACCEPTABLE PROVIDED THAT NO GAP WITHIN |

| | TREE SHALL BE PLANTED IN A REQUIRED BUFFER STRIP FOR |
| | EACH 30 LINEAR FEET OR PORTION THEREOF.PER 94-442(C) |
| | PALMS TREES MAY BE SUBSTITUTED FOR NOT MORE THAN 35 |
| | PERCENT OF THE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREES REQUIRED BY |
| | THIS ARTICLE.THE PROPOSED SABAL PALMS ALONG THE SOUTH |
| | SIDE OF THE PARKING GARAGE DO NOT MEET THIS |
| | REQUIREMENT.BASED UPON A LENGTH OF 180 FEET, SIX (6) |
| | SHADE OR FLOWERING TREES ARE REQUIRED AND ONLY TWO (2) |
| | MAY BE PALMS.WHEN PALMS ARE USED AS A SUBSTITUTION |
| | FOR SHADE TREES, TWO (2) PALMS ARE EQUAL IN VALUE TO |
| | EACH SHADE TREE BUT MUST BE PLANTED TOGETHER IN GROUPS |
| | OF THREE (3).THE LOCATION OF THE HEDGE BETWEEN THE |
| | FENCE AND THE BUILDING CREATES A NON-MAINTAINABLE AREA. |
| | THE APPLICANT SHALL CONSIDER THE USE OF SHRUBBERY SUCH |
| | AS FAKAHATCHEE GRASS TO BE PLANTED IN THAT LOCATION |
| | INSTEAD OF SOD TO REDUCE THE MAINTENANCE AND FOLLOW |
| | XERISCAPE GUIDELINES. |
