| | FAILED*** |
| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN |
| | FORMAT. |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS #1 THROUGH #7 AFFECT THE TACO |
| | BELL LEASE PARCEL: |
| | |
| | 1. REPEAT COMMENT: 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 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. SOME OF THE STREET LIGHTS HAVE NOT |
| | BEEN SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AND THERE ARE STILL |
| | CONFLICTS WITH OTHER UTILITIES. |
| | |
| | 2. 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 |
| | 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. THIS |
| | CALCULATION HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | 3. REPEAT COMMENT: 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 FOLLOWING COMMENTS AFFECT THE ENTIRE UNIFIED SITE: |
| | |
| | 1. THE ENTIRE SITE SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | PLAN. ONLY A PORTION OF THE BANK WAS SHOWN. ALSO, THE |
| | AREA BEHIND THE EXISTING 1-STORY BUILDING (THRIFT |
| | STORE) BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND FENCE WAS NOT INCLUDED. |
| | |
| | 2. 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 FOR THE ENTIRE |
| | UNIFIED SITE (NATIONAL CITY BANK, TACO BELL AND VACANT |
| | LAND). THE OPEN SPACE FOR THE ENTIRE WAS NOT CORRECTLY |
| | CALCULATED. THEREFORE, THE REQUIRED TREES AND SHRUBS |
| | CANNOT BE CORRECT. THE DATA PROVIDED INDICATED THAT 53 |
| | PERIMETER TREES ARE REQUIRED AND ONLY 28 HAVE BEEN |
| | PROVIDED. PLEASE CLARIFY. |
| | |
| | 3. REPEAT COMMENT: ALL INVASIVE AND PROHIBITED PLANT |
| | SPECIES SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE SITE. A NOTE SHALL BE |
| | PLACED ON THE PLAN. THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE MATERIALS |
| | (REMOVAL AND RELOCATION) THAT APPEAR ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | PLAN SHALL BE UPDATED TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE SITE, |
| | INCLUDING THE UNDEVELOPED AREA. |
| | |
| | 4. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (4) (G) (3) (II), IN ALL |
| | AREAS THAT ARE TO BE PLANTED IN A CULTIVATED LANDSCAPE, |
| | IRRIGATION SYSTEMS SHALL BE DESIGNED TO HAVE 120 |
