| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES FOR REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN |
| | FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-441(C)(2) OF THE ZONING AND |
| | LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (ZLDR): AS THE VALUE OF |
| | THE PROPOSED WORK EXCEEDS 50% OF THE STRUCTURE'S VALUE |
| | (LISTED AS "IMPROVEMENT VALUE" WITH THE P.B.C. PROPERTY |
| | APPRAISER'S OFFICE), LANDSCAPING SHALL BE IN COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH ALL APPLICABLE REGULATIONS FOUND IN ARTICLE XIV OF |
| | THE ZLDR. |
| | |
| | 2. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (2), OF |
| | THE ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS, PLANT |
| | MATERIALS USED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS |
| | SECTION SHALL BE EQUAL TO OR BETTER THAN THE FLORIDA |
| | DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NUMBER 1 GRADE STANDARD. |
| | BECAUSE THE EXISTING TREES HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY |
| | "HATRACKED" AND CANNOT MEET THIS REQUIREMENT AND |
| | BECAUSE THEY ARE GROWING UNDER POWER LINES, ALL TREES |
| | MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH FLORIDA NUMBER 1 |
| | GRADE TREES THAT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS SETFORTH IN |
| | FPL'S "PLANT THE RIGHT TREE IN THE RIGHT PLACE" GUIDE. |
| | THIS PUBLICATION PROVIDES A LIST OF TREES THAT CAN BE |
| | PLANTED NEAR OR UNDER POWER LINES. PURSUANT TO SECTION |
| | 94-446 (2), LANDSCAPING SHALL BE MAINTAINED IN A GOOD |
| | CONDITION. ALL UNHEALTHY OR DEAD MATERIAL SHALL BE |
| | REPLACED (TREES, SHRUBS, SOD AND GROUND COVER). ALL |
| | OTHER PLANT MATERIAL GROWING WITHIN THE HEDGEROWS OTHER |
| | THAN THE HEDGE SPECIES, SHALL BE REMOVED. THE FICUS |
| | HEDGE TO REMAIN IS SUBJECT TO WHITE FLY WHICH IS |
| | AFFECTING FICUS THROUGHOUT SOUTH FLORIDA. PLEASE |
| | CONSIDER REPLACING THE HEDGE WITH A NEW HEDGE THAT DOES |
| | NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM AND PREFERABLY A NATIVE SPECIES. |
| | |
| | 3. REPEAT COMMENT: A TREE ALTERATION PERMIT IS |
| | REQUIRED. AN APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE AT THE FRONT DESK |
| | OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. TREES HAVE |
| | ALREADY BEEN REMOVED AND OTHERS WILL NEED TO BE |
| | REMOVED. |
| | |
| | 4. REPEAT COMMENT: THE TABULATION PROVIDED FOR THE |
| | EVALUATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH ARTICLE XIV OF THE ZONING |
| | AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS IS INCORRECT. THE OPEN |
| | SPACE IS CALCULATED BY TAKING THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | OF THE ENTIRE SITE AND DEDUCTING THE BUILDING |
| | FOOTPRINT. THE CALCULATIONS THAT YOU PROVIDED STILL |
| | INDICATE A DEFICIENCY OF 185 SQUARE FEET THAT NEEDS TO |
| | BE CORRECTED. BASED UPON YOUR CALCULATIONS, SIX SHADE |
| | TREES ARE REQUIRED---NOT FIVE. FRACTIONS ARE ROUNDED UP |
| | TO THE NEXT WHOLE NUMBER. PLEASE REVIEW AND REVISE ALL |
| | LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | 5. REPEAT COMMENT: . PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-444 (B), |
| | OUTDOOR GARBAGE OR TRASH RECEPTACLES AND ALL OTHER |
| | MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT BE PERMITTED UNLESS |
| | APPROPRIATE SCREENING IS PROVIDED. PURSUANT TO SECTION |
| | 94-444 (B), A FOUR-SIDED ENCLOSURE WITH VISION |
| | OBSCURING GATES CAN BE A CONDITION OF SITE PLAN |
| | APPROVAL. THE ENCLOSURE IS REQUIRED TO HAVE VISION |
| | OBSCURING GATES. |
| | |
| | 6. REPEAT COMMENT: PLEASE PROVIDE A PARKING LAYOUT AND |
| | INCLUDE THE STRIPING DETAIL. 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 (EXCLUDING THE REQUIRED CURB) AND NOT |
| | LESS THAN THE LENGTH OF THE ADJACENT PARKING STALL. THE |
| | LANDSCAPED ISLAND SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR |
| | FLOWERING TREE. THE HANDICAP MANEUVERING AREA DOES NOT |
| | MEET MINIMUM ADA REQUIREMENTS. CONSTRUCTION SERVICES |
| | WILL COMMENT ON HANDICAP ACCESSIBILITY. |
| | |
| | 7. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (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. |
| | |
| | 8. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (E), AT |
| | LEAST 30 PERCENT OF THE LINEAR FEET AROUND THE EXTERIOR |
| | OF ALL COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES SHALL BE PLANTED WITH |
| | TREES, SHRUBS OR HEDGES. NO FOUNDATION PLANTING HAS |
| | BEEN PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | 9. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) )2), |
| | SHADE TREES MUST BE PLANTED AT 30-FOOT INTERVALS WITHIN |
| | THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER THAT SEPARATES THE VEHICULAR USE |
| | AREA FROM AN ADJACENT THOROUGHFARE. TREES SHOWN WITHIN |
| | THE LANDSCAPE STRIP ALONG THE NORTH PERIMETER EXCEED |
| | THE THIRTY FOOT SPACING REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 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. THERE ARE AREAS |
| | WITHIN THE PROPERTY BOUNDARY AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF |
| | THE SITE AND IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ADJACENT TO BELVEDERE |
| | ROAD THAT ARE PAVED. THIS IS NOT A HANDICAP |
| | ACCESSIBILITY RAMP. THE PAVEMENT SHALL BE REMOVED FROM |
| | THESE AREAS AND REPLACED WITH SOD. IN ADDITION, THE |
| | RIGHT-OF-WAY AREA ALONG THE ACCESS EASEMENT (NORTH SIDE |
| | OF SITE) SHALL BE SODDED AND MAINTAINED. PLEASE NOTE |
| | THAT A SABAL PALM HAS GROWN IN THE SIDEWALK AREA ON THE |
| | EAST SIDE OT THE SITE AND IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. THE |
| | OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN THE |
| | RIGHT-OF-WAY, ADJACENT TO THE SITE, INCLUDING ANY |
| | TREES. |
| | |
| | 11. REPEAT COMMENT: 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 PERCENT COVERAGE. THIS INCLUDES |
| | RIGHTS-OF-WAY. BECAUSE THE PROPERTY OWNER IS REQUIRED |
| | TO PROVIDE SOD IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY AND BECAUSE THIS IS |
| | A PART OF THE CULTIVATED LANDSCAPE, IRRIGATION IS |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 12. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (5) |
| | (A), LANDSCAPE AREAS SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM VEHICULAR |
| | USE AREAS BY NON-MOUNTABLE, CONCRETE CURBING OF THE |
| | TYPE CHARACTERIZED AS "TYPE D". THE LANDSCAPE AREAS |
| | ALONG THE SOUTH PERIMETER OF THE SITE ARE ODDLY SHAPED |
| | AND ARE NOT CURBED. THESE AREAS SHALL BE RECONFIGURED |
| | TO ALLOW THE SITE TO FUNCTION BETTER AND CURBED. |
| | |
| | 13. REPEAT COMMENT: THE PROPOSED HEDGES ALONG THE EAST |
| | AND SOUTH SIDES OF THE SITE SHALL BE PLANTED ALONG THE |
| | INTERIOR PERIMETER OF THE LANDSCAPE STRIPS WITH TIERED |
| | PLANTING ON THE STREET SIDE OF THE HEDGES. THE HEDGES |
| | SHALL BE PLANTED ALONG THE INTERIOR PERIMETER TO AID IN |
| | VISIBILITY. THE HEDGE AT THE CORNER IS WITHIN THE |
| | VISIBILITY TRIANGLE. ALSO, HEDGES PLANTED NEXT TO |
| | PUBLIC SIDEWALKS NEED CONSTANT MAINTENANCE TO KEEP THEM |
| | FROM GROWING INTO THE PUBLIC AREA. |
| | |
| | 14, REPEAT COMMENT: CREDIT WAS TAKEN ON THE XERISCAPE |
| | CHART FOR A MOISTURE SENSING CONTROLLER OTHER THAN A |
| | RAIN SWITCH, BUT A NOTE ON THE PLAN INDICATES THAT A |
| | RAIN SENSOR WILL BE INSTALLED. IF A MOISTURE SENSING |
| | DEVICE IS BEING USED, PLEASE IDENTIFY THE EQUIPMENT. |
| | PLEASE IDENTIFY THE EQUIPMENT OR ELIMINATE THE FIVE |
| | POINTS FROM THE XERISCAPE TABLE. HOWEVER, IF YOU DO NOT |
| | USE A MOISTURE SENSING CONTROLLER, A RAIN SWITCH IS |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT |
| | KUSSNER @ (561) 822-1462. |
