| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN |
| | FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. IN ADDITION TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN DRAWN AT 60 SCALE, |
| | THE APPLICANT SHALL SUBMIT LANDSCAPE PLANS DRAWN AT 20 |
| | SCALE WITH CERTAIN DETAILS OR TIGHT AREAS DRAWN AT A |
| | LARGE SCALE. THIS PLAN IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ, |
| | ESPECIALLY WHERE THERE IS A LAYERING OF PLANT |
| | MATERIRAL. |
| | |
| | 2. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3) |
| | (A), EVERY TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND SHALL CONTAIN ONE |
| | SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE. THE ISLAND ADJACENT TO THE |
| | HANDICAP PARKING ROW NEAR THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE |
| | BUIDLING IS MISSING A TREE. |
| | |
| | 3. 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. THE APPLICANT SHALL |
| | RESOD ALL LAWN AREAS THROUGHOUT THE SITE, INCLUDING THE |
| | RIGHTS-OF-WAY WHERE THE GRASS HAS DIED OR IS WEED |
| | INFESTED. PLACE A NOTE ON THE PLAN THAT SOD AND |
| | IRRIGATION WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY. ALSO, |
| | PLACE A NOTE ON THE PLAN INDICATING THAT SOD WILL BE |
| | INSTALLED IN ALL AREAS WHERE THE GRASS IS DEAD, |
| | UNHEALTHY OR WEED INFESTED. |
| | |
| | 4 REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C)(3)(B), |
| | EVERY INTERIOR LANDSCAPE ISLAND SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST |
| | ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE. THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE |
| | INTERIOR LANDSCAPE ISLANDS THAT ARE MISSING TREES. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C)(3)(C), IF DIVIDER |
| | MEDIANS ARE USED, THEY SHALL FORM A CONTINUOUS |
| | LANDSCAPED STRIP BETWEEN ABUTTING ROWS OF PARKING |
| | SPACES. SHADE OR FLOWERING TREES WITHIN A DIVIDER |
| | MEDIAN SHALL BE PLANTED AT 30-FOOT INTERVALS. THOUGH |
| | THIS COMMENT WAS ADDRESSED, THE SPACING BETWEEN THE |
| | NEWLY PLANTED LIVE OAKS IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS IS TOO |
| | CLOSE. TREES WERE ORIGINALLY PLANTED AT APPROXIMATELY |
| | 30 FEET ON CENTER AND THAT SPACING SHOULD BE |
| | MAINTAINED. OTHER AREAS OF THE MEDIANS SHOULD HAVE MORE |
| | TREES PLANTED. PLEASE REPOSITION THE TREES TO HAVE A |
| | MORE EQUAL SPACING THROUGHOUT THE PARKING LOT. |
| | |
| | 6. PLEASE CLARIFY THE LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS. OPEN |
| | SPACE IS CALCULATED BY TAKING THE TOTAL LOT SQUARE |
| | FOOTAGE AND DEDUCTING THE TOTAL SQUARE FEET OF THE |
| | BUILDING FOOTPRINT. THE OTHER CALCULATIONS ARRE BASED |
| | UPON THOSE RESULTS. |
| | |
| | 7. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (2), VEHICULAR USE |
| | AREAS SHALL BE SCREENED FROM THOROUGHFARES WITH A |
| | MINIMUM FIVE FOOT LANDSCAPE STRIP THAT CONTAINS A |
| | CONTINUOUS HEDGE. THE PROPOSED FIRECRACKER PLANT |
| | ADJACENT TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE RETENTION AREA DOES |
| | NOT MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. THE FIRECRACKER SHALL BE |
| | REPLACED WITH A HEDGE. |
| | |
| | 8. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (2) (TABLE XIV-1), A |
| | HEDGE IS REQUIRED TO SCREEN THE VEHICULAR USE AREA FROM |
| | ADJACENT PROPERTIES. THERE ARE AREAS AROUND THE |
| | PERIMETER OF THE SITE (WITH THE EAST PERIMETER COVERED |
| | BY NOTE ON PLAN) WHERE NO HEDGE IS SHOWN. IF A HEDGE |
| | EXISTS, PLEASE IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF HEDGE AND SHOW IT |
| | ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 9. ALL UTILITIES, EASEMENTS, STREET LIGHTS AND ANYTHING |
| | ELSE THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH THE LANDSCAPING SHALL BE |
| | SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLANT TO AVOID CONFLICTS. |
| | |
| | 10. BASED UPON THE TREE SURVEY, TREES # 52 & 53 ARE TO |
| | REMAIN BUT ARE NOT SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THESE |
| | TREES ARE LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE COOLING EQUIPMENT ON |
| | THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THEY NEED TO REMAIN OR |
| | REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSED IXORA HEDGE WILL |
| | NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SCREENING OF THE EQUIPMENT. |
| | PODOCARPUS OR EUGENIA SHALL BE INSTALLED AT A HEIGHT AT |
| | THE TIME OF PLANTING THAT WILL FULLY SCREEN THIS |
| | EQUIPMENT. THE LANDSCAPE AREA SURROUNDING THE EQUIPMENT |
| | SHALL BE ENLARGED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SPACE FOR THE |
| | PLANTING. THIS WILL APPLY TO ALL OTHER MECHANICAL |
| | EQUIPMENT ON SITE. |
| | |
| | 11. PLEASE PROVIDE IRRIGATION PLANS EQUIPPED WITH A |
| | RAIN SENSOR AND THE CAPACITY OF PROVIDING 120% COVERAGE |
| | TO ALL LANDSCAPED AREAS, INCLUSIVE OF ALL |
| | RIGHTS-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | 12. ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE COMMENTS MAY BE FORTHCOMING |
| | UPON RESUBMITTAL OF PLANS DRAWN AT 20 SCALE WITH ALL |
| | UTILITIES SHOWN. |
| | |
| | |
| | IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR WOULD LIKE TO SET UP A |
| | MEETING, PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT KUSSNER @ (561) |
| | 822-1462. |
