	COMMENTS:

	PLEASE RESPOND TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN FORMAT.

	1. REPEAT COMMENT: 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. THE LANDSCAPE
	AND XERISCAPE CALCULATIONS ARE INCORRECT. OPEN SPACE IS
	CALCULATED BY TAKING THE TOTAL LOT AREA AND DEDUCTING
	THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE COMBINED BUILDINGS
	FOOTPRINT. THE PARKING LOT AND WALKWAYS ARE NOT
	DEDUCTED. THE INTERIOR AND PERIMETER TREE COUNTS ARE
	NOT THE SAME AS THE CALCULATIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED.
	REGARDING THE XERISCAPE TABULATIONS, PLEASE INDICATE
	THE TYPE OF SOD, IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR TAKING THE
	FIVE (5) POINTS FOR DROUGHT TOLERANT GRASS.

	2. REPEAT COMMENT: ALL EXISTING AND PROPOSED UTILITIES,
	EASEMENTS, OVERHEAD LINES, STREET LIGHTS AND ANYTHING
	ELSE THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING
	SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN TO AVOID
	CONFLICTS.

	3. REPEAT COMMENT: A TREE ALTERATION PERMIT IS
	REQUIRED. PLEASE IDENTIFY ALL EXISTING TREES AND
	INDICATE WHICH TREES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE, BE REMOVED
	OR BE RELOCATED. MOST TREES ON SITE ARE NOT IN GOOD
	CONDITION AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. ALL TREES TO REMAIN
	SHALL BE FLORIDA #1 GRADE OR BETTER. OTHERWISE, THEY
	MUST BE CORRECTIVELY PRUNED BY A CERTIFIED ARBORIST IF
	THEY CAN BE BROUGHT BACK TO MEET MINIMUM STANDARDS OR
	REPLACED IF CORRECTIVE PRUNING WILL NOT BRING THEM INTO
	COMPLIANCE WITH THE MINIMUM STANDARDS. BASED UPON THE
	LATEST LANDSCAPE PLAN, TREES ARE BEING SAVED THAT
	CANNOT BE BROUGHT BACK TO AN ACCEPTABLE CONDITION.

	4. THE PARKING ROW ALONG THE SOUTHEAST PERIMETER OF
	THE SITE SHALL BE MOVED FIVE (5) FEET TO THE WEST,
	THEREBY SHRINKING THE DIVIDER MEDIAN TO EIGHT AND
	ONE-HALF (8 1/2) FEET IN WIDTH. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
	LANDSCAPE BUFFER ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE TO BE EXPANDED
	TO TEN (10) FEET.

	5 REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-444 (B),
	OUTDOOR GARBAGE OR TRASH RECEPTACLES, FUEL OIL OR
	PROPANE TANK, GROUND LEVEL AIR CONDITIONING UNITS,
	GENERATORS AND OTHER MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT BE
	PERMITTED UNLESS APPROPRIATE SCREENING IS PROVIDED. THE
	ONLY ITEM IDENTIFIED ON THE PLAN WAS THE DUMPSTER
	ENCLOSURE AND THE PLACEMENT OF THE ENCLOSURE WAS SHOWN
	IN TWO (2) DIFFERENT PLACES ON SHEET C-5. . PLEASE SHOW
	ALL OTHER ITEMS ON THE PLANS AND IDENTIFY THE MANNER IN
	WHICH THEY WILL BE SCREENED.

	6. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3),
	OFF-STREET PARKING LOTS CONTAINING AT LEAST 12 INTERIOR
	PARKING SPACES SHALL CONTAIN LANDSCAPE AREAS. THE TOTAL
	SIZE OF SUCH LANDSCAPED AREAS SHALL BE EQUAL TO TEN
	SQUARE FEET FOR EACH PARKING SPACE AND SHALL BE
	PROVIDED WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF AN OFF-STREET PARKING
	AREA. LANDSCAPED AREAS SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE
	OR FLOWERING TREE FOR EACH 100 SQUARE FEET OF REQUIRED
	LANDSCAPED AREAS. A MINIMUM OF 75 PERCENT OF ALL TREES
	THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE PLANTED WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF
	AN OFF-STREET PARKING AREA SHALL BE SHADE TREES. THE
	CALCULATION SHOWN IS INCORRECT.

	7. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (TABLE
	XIV-1), THE REQUIRED PERIMETER LANDSCAPE STRIPS SHALL
	BE A MINIMUM OF FIVE FEET IN WIDTH, EXCLUDING ANY CURB.
	THE USE OF BOTH CURBS AND CARSTOPS IS NOT NECESSARY.
	STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT CURBING BE INSTALLED IN LIEU OF
	CAR STOPS WITH THE PAVEMENT ELIMINATED BEYOND THE CURB.
	ALTHOUGH NO PLANT MATERIAL WITH A MATURE HEIGHT OF SIX
	INCHES OR TREES CAN BE PLANTED WITHIN THE VEHICULAR
	OVERHANG AREA, THE EXPANDED GREEN AREA WILL ALLOW THE
	TREES TO DEVELOP A LARGER ROOT SYSTEM. ALL SPACES COULD
	BE 16 FEET IN LENGTH (BETWEEN END OF SPACE AND CURB)
	WITH A TWO (2) FOOT OVERHANG. NO CARSTOPS WOULD BE
	REQUIRED IF THIS IS DONE. OTHERWISE, IF THE CARSTOPS
	ARE USED WITHIN THE 18 FOOT SPACES, THEN THE CURB COULD
	BE ELIMINATED. LANDSCAPE ISLANDS AND THE PERIMETER
	LANDCAPE BUFFER MUST BE A MINIMUM OF FIVE (5) FEET IN
	WIDTH, EXCLUDING ANY CURBING OR VEHICULAR OVERHANG.

	8. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3)
	(A), ALL TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLANDS SHALL CONTAIN AT
	LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE. THE LANDSCAPE AREAS
	AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BACK-OUT PARKING ROW SHALL CONTAIN
	A TREE AND A HEDGE. THE ONE REMAINING TREE AT THE WEST
	END OF THE BACK-OUT PARKING ROW SHALL BE REPLACED AND A
	TREE IS NEEDED AT THE OTHER END OF THE PARKING ROW. NO
	TREES ARE PROPOSED AT THE ENDS OF THE TWO (2) PARKING
	ROWS THAT TERMINATE AT THE NEW BUILDING.

	9. THE FENCE ADJACENT TO DOCK STREET SHALL BE RELOCATED
	TO THE INSIDE OF THE LANDSCAPE SETBACK, WITH THE
	PROPOSED HEDGE TO BE PLANTED ALONG THE STREET SIDE OF
	THE FENCE. NO FENCES ARE SHOWN ON ANY OF THE MOST
	RECENT PLANS EXCEPT FOR THE EROSION CONTROL FENCE.
	PLEASE INDICATE IF THERE WILL BE ANY FENCES ON SITE.

	10. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-442 (D),
	PRIVATE LAND AND PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY BETWEEN STREET OR
	SIDEWALK SURFACES AND REQUIRED BUFFER STRIPS AND
	LANDSCAPED OPEN SPACE AREAS SHALL BE PLANTED WITH
	GRASS. GRASS AREAS SHALL BE SODDED. SOD SHALL BE
	INSTALLED IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ADJACENT TO DOCK STREET
	AND AT THE WESTERN TIP OF THE SITE.

	11. THERE ARE INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE PLANS. THE
	RETENTION AREAS, THE DRIVEWAY LEADING TO THE DUMPSTER
	ENCLOSURE AND THE ELIMINATION OF THE PARALLEL PARKING
	STALLS ARE A FEW OF THE INCONSISTENCIES. ALL PLANS MUST
	BE CONSISTENT.

	IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT
	KUSSNER @ (561) 822-1462.
