| 2009-07-27 16:32:49 | LANDSCAPE REVIEW |
| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN |
| | FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SHALL BE DRAWN AT A COMMON SCALE |
| | SUCH AS 1"=10', 1"= 8' OR 1"=20'. |
| | |
| | 2. THE LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS PROVIDED ARE INCORRECT. |
| | OPEN SPACE MEANS AN OPEN, UNENCLOSED AREA CONSISTING OF |
| | SETBACKS, LANDSCAPING, BUFFERS, VEHICULAR AND |
| | PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION FEATURES, AND SURFACE PARKING. |
| | WHEN YOU DEDUCT 3,344 SQUARE FEET (TOTAL BUILDING |
| | FOOTPRINT AREA) FROM THE OVERALL SITE AREA OF 41,708 |
| | SQUARE FEET, THE OPEN SPACE IS EQUAL TO 38,364 SQUARE |
| | FEET. TWENTY-FOUR SHADE TREES AND 77 SHRUBS ARE |
| | REQUIRED. PLEASE CORRECT ALL CALCULATIONS. |
| | AT LEAST ONE FLOWERING TREE IS REQUIRED FOR EACH 6400 |
| | SQUARE FEET. SIX FLOWERING TREES ARE REQUIRED INSTEAD |
| | OF THE TWO THAT WERE PROPOSED. |
| | |
| | 3. 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. |
| | |
| | 4. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-3-443 (C)(4), FOR OTHER PAVED |
| | AREAS UTILIZED BY MOTOR VEHICLES, INCLUDING AISLES, |
| | LOADING AREAS, CIRCULATION AREAS AND DRIVE-IN SERVICE |
| | AREAS, ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING SHALL BE PROVIDED AS |
| | FOLLOWS: FOUR SQUARE FEET OF LANDSCAPED AREA SHALL BE |
| | REQUIRED FOR EACH 100 SQUARE FEET, OR FRACTION THEREOF. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C)(3)(A), EACH ROW OF |
| | PARKING SPACES SHALL BE TERMINATED BY LANDSCAPED |
| | ISLANDS OF NOT LESS THAN FIVE FEET IN WIDTH AND NOT |
| | LESS THAN THE LENGTH OF THE ADJACENT PARKING STALL. THE |
| | LANDSCAPED ISLAND SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR |
| | FLOWERING TREE. THE TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND AT THE |
| | NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE BUILDING DOES NOT MEET THESE |
| | REQUIREMENTS. BECAUSE TWO ROWS OF PARKING ARE BEING |
| | TERMINATED, TWO TREES ARE REQUIRED AND THE LANDSCAPE |
| | AREA SHALL RUN THE FULL LENGTH OF THE ADJACENT PARKING |
| | STALLS. |
| | |
| | 6. 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 A TYPICAL PARKING STALL IS 18 |
| | FEET IN LENGTH, THE 20 FOOT SPACES COULD BE REDUCED TO |
| | 18 FEET WITH THE ADDITIONAL AREA BEING CONVERTED INTO |
| | GREEN SPACE. THE AISLE AND SIDEWALK WIDTH COULD ALSO BE |
| | REDUCED WITH THE ADDITIONAL AREA BEING CONVERTED INTO |
| | GREEN SPACE. A MINIMUM OF FIVE FEET SHALL BE PROVIDED |
| | ALONG THE NORTH AND WEST SIDES OF THE CORNER STATION |
| | BETWEEN THE SIDEWALK AND STRUCTURE. A PLANTING THAT |
| | WOULD INCLUDE VERTICAL LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS SHALL BE |
| | PROVIDED ALONG THE NORTH, WEST AND SOUTH SIDES OF THE |
| | MAIN BUILDING AND ALONG THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF |
| | THE CAR WASH. |
| | |
| | 7. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-444 (B), ALL MECHANICAL |
| | EQUIPMENT SHALL BE SCREENED. IF A GENERATOR OR OTHER |
| | EQUIPMENT WILL BE INSTALLED, PLEASE SHOW THE LOCATION |
| | AND THE METHOD OF SCREENING. |
| | |
| | 8. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (B) (4), AT LEAST ONE |
| | SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE SHALL BE PLANTED IN A REQUIRED |
| | BUFFER STRIP FOR EACH 30 LINEAR FEET OR PORTION |
| | THEREOF. THERE ARE GAPS ALONG THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE |
| | BETWEEN THE PROPOSED TREES THAT EXCEED 30 FEET. |
| | |
| | 9. THERE IS A UTILITY EASEMENT THAT RUNS ALONG THE |
| | SOUTH PROPERTY LINE THAT IS IN CONFLICT WITH THE |
| | REQUIRED LANDSCAPE BUFFER. THE APPLICANT SHALL OBTAIN |
| | WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION FROM THE EASEMENT HOLDER ALLOWING |
| | THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING TO BE INSTALLED. |
| | |
| | 10. THERE IS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF CONCRETE THAT IS |
| | PART OF THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AT THE |
| | INTERSECTION OF AUSTRALIAN AVENUE AND PALM BEACH LAKES |
| | BOULEVARD. THE EXCESS CONCRETE SHALL BE REMOVED AND |
| | CONVERTED INTO GREEN SPACE PURSUANT TO APPROVAL FROM |
| | CITY ENGINEERING. |
