| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN |
| | FORMAT. |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS #1 THROUGH #7 AFFECT THE TACO |
| | BELL LEASE PARCEL: |
| | |
| | 1. THERE ARE CONFLICTS BETWEEN PROPOSED UTILITIES AND |
| | LANDSCAPING, ESPECIALLY ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE |
| | BUILDING AND THE NORTH SIDE OF THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE. |
| | THE STREET LIGHTS SHALL BE KEPT OUT OF THE LANDSCAPE |
| | ISLANDS AND THE SEWER AND OTHER UTILITIES SHALL BE KEPT |
| | OUT OF THE LANDSCAPE AREAS. ALL PROPOSED UTILITIES, |
| | EASEMENTS, STREET LIGHTS AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAY |
| | HAVE AN IMPACT UPON THE LANDSCAPING SHALL BE SHOWN ON |
| | THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 2. 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 |
| | LANDSCAPE ISLAND ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE DUMPSTER |
| | ENCLOSURE DOES NOT MEET THE MINIMUM WIDTH REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 3. THERE IS A PLANTER IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, ADJACENT TO |
| | BELVEDERE ROAD. PLEASE SHOW WHAT PLANTING EXISTS OR IS |
| | PROPOSED FOR THIS PLANTER. IRRIGATION SHALL BE PROVIDED |
| | IN THIS PLANTER IF DOES NOT ALREADY EXIST. |
| | |
| | 4. 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 LOT. LANDSCAPED AREAS |
| | SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE FOR |
| | EACH 100 SQUARE FEET OF REQUIRED LANDSCAPED AREA. 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. PLEASE PROVIDE THE |
| | CALCULATIONS. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY PALM |
| | TREES WITHIN THE PARKING LOT. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (B)(1), FOR ALL |
| | NONRESIDENTIAL USES, THE BUFFER STRIP SHALL BE AT LEAST |
| | FIVE FEET WIDE ALONG THE ENTIRE EDGE OF PROPERTY WHEN |
| | ADJACENT TO PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES AND NONRESIDENTIAL |
| | ZONING DISTRICTS. AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE |
| | SHALL BE PLANTED IN A REQUIRED BUFFER STRIP FOR EACH 30 |
| | LINEAR FEET OR PORTION THEREOF AND SHRUBS, GRASS, |
| | GROUND COVER OR OTHER SUITABLE LIVE PLANT MATERIAL |
| | SHALL BE PLANTED ALONG THE ENTIRE BUFFER STRIP. THE |
| | SPACING BETWEEN THE TREES ALONG THE NORTH AND EAST |
| | PERIMETER OF THE SITE EXCEEDS 30 FEET IN SEVERAL |
| | LOCATIONS. THE LANDSCAPE STRIP ALONG THE WEST PERIMETER |
| | OF THIS SITE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | BECAUSE THE BANK PARCEL AND THIS PARCEL ARE UNIFIED AS |
| | ONE SITE, NO SUCH LANDSCAPE STRIP IS REQUIRED. HOWEVER, |
| | SHOULD THIS TACO BELL SITE EVER BE SEPARATED FROM THE |
| | UNIFIED SITE AND SOLD OFF, THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER WILL |
| | NEED TO BE INSTALLED. |
| | |
| | 6. EITHER CURBING OR CAR STOPS ARE REQUIRED, BUT NOT |
| | BOTH. BECAUSE CURBING HAS BEEN PROPOSED, THE CURBING |
| | SHALL BE INSTALLED TWO FEET BACK FROM THE END OF THE 18 |
| | FOOT SPACE ALONG THE NORTH AND WEST PERIMETER OF THE |
| | SITE. THE STRIPING SHALL EXTEND ONLY 16 FEET. THE FRONT |
| | OF THE VEHICLE WILL EXTEND OVER A GREEN AREA. NO HEDGE |
| | OR TALL GROUND COVER CAN BE PLANTED WITHIN THE OVERHANG |
| | AREA BUT THE ADDITIONAL GREEN SPACE WILL ALLOW THE |
| | TREES TO DEVELOP A BETTER ROOT SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 7. STAFF SUGGESTS THAT VERTICAL LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS BE |
| | INSTALLED ALONG THE FOUNDATION OF THE BUILDING TO |
| | ENHANCE THE ARCHITECTURE. |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS AFFECT THE ENTIRE UNIFIED SITE: |
| | |
| | 1. 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 FOR THE ENTIRE UNIFIED SITE |
| | (NATIONAL CITY BANK, TACO BELL AND VACANT LAND). |
| | |
| | 2. ALL INVASIVE AND PROHIBITED PLANT SPECIES SHALL BE |
| | REMOVED FROM THE SITE. |
| | |
| | 3. ANY LANDSCAPE DEFICIENCIES ON THE BANK SITE SHALL BE |
| | CORRECTED. THE LANDSCAPE SHALL BE RESTORED TO THE |
| | CONDITION AS REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF C/O. |
| | |
| | 4. A LANDSCAPE BUFFER, INCLUDING TREES, HEDGES, SHRUBS, |
| | GROUND COVER AND SOD SHALL BE PROVIDED AROUND THE |
| | VACANT PARCEL. THE LOT WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE SODDED |
| | AND IRRIGATED. |
| | |
| | 5. OTHER LANDSCAPE COMMENTS MAY BE FORTHCOMING ONCE |
| | THESE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED. |
