| | |
| | PLEASE RESPOND TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. 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. PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | ACCURATE CALCULATIONS. THE OPEN SPACE IS DETERMINED BY |
| | TAKING THE ENTIRE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE SITE AND |
| | DEDUCTING THE COMBINED SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE BUILDING |
| | FOOTPRINTS. THE DIFFERENCE IS THE OPEN SPACE FOR WHICH |
| | THE OTHER CALCULATIONS ARE BASED. REGARDING THE |
| | XERISCAPE CALCULATIONS, FIVE POINTS WERE TAKEN FOR |
| | PROVIDING TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT MORE THAN THE REQUIRED |
| | SHADE TREES IN THE VEHICULAR USE AREAS. PLEASE SHOW HOW |
| | YOU ARRIVED AT THIS DETERMINATION. |
| | |
| | 2. REPEAT COMMENT: THE PARKING LAYOUT AND THE TRAVEL |
| | AISLES WILL NEED TO BE MODIFIED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE |
| | REQUIRED PERIMETER LANDSCAPE BUFFERS, INTERIOR ISLANDS |
| | AND FOUNDATION LANDSCAPING REQUIRED BY CODE. ANY |
| | UNNECESSARY PAVEMENT SHALL BE REMOVED AND CONVERTED |
| | INTO GREEN SPACE. THE FIVE FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER |
| | ADJACENT TO FLAGLER DRIVE IN FRONT OF THE 4478 SQUARE |
| | FOOT BUILDING SHALL BE EXTENDED. THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SHALL |
| | BE RECONSTRUCTED TO DUPLICATE THE PATTERN ALONG THE |
| | STREET (SIDEWALK AND SODDED UTILITY STRIP) ADJACENT TO |
| | THE MODIFIED LANDSCAPE STRIP. THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER AT |
| | THE NORTH END OF THAT PARKING ROW IS REQUIRED TO BE |
| | FIVE FEET IN WIDTH. THE PAVED AREA WEST OF THE HANDICAP |
| | PARKING STALL AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE TWO-STORY |
| | BUILDING SHALL BE REMOVED AND CONVERTED INTO GREEN |
| | SPACE. THE LANDCAPE BUFFERS ALONG THE PERIMETER OF THE |
| | SITE IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS DO NOT MEET MINIMUM |
| | STANDARDS. |
| | |
| | 3. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (4) (G) |
| | (3) (II), IN ALL AREAS TO BE PLANTED IN A CULTIVATED |
| | LANDCAPE, IRRIGATION SYSTEMS SHALL BE DESIGNED TO HAVE |
| | 120 PERCENT COVERAGE, INCLUDING THE ADJACENT |
| | RIGHTS-OF-WAY. THIS NOTE SHALL APPEAR ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 4. THE FIVE FOOT WIDE PERIMETER LANDSCAPE BUFFERS MUST |
| | BE PROVIDED. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THERE ARE LARGE TREES ON |
| | THE NEIGHBORING NORTON PROPERTY, WE WILL ALLOW THE |
| | EXISTING TREES TO SATISFY THE TREE REQUIREMENTS FOR |
| | THIS PROPERTY. A HEDGE IS REQUIRED AND THE BALANCE OF |
| | THE LANDSCAPE STRIP SHALL BE PLANTED WITH GRASS OR |
| | GROUND COVER. IF THE HEDGE ON THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTY |
| | TO THE NORTH MEETS OUR HEDGE REQUIREMENTS, WE WILL |
| | ALLOW IT TO BE COUNTED TOWARD MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS |
| | OF THIS PROJECT. A NOTE SHALL APPEAR ON THE PLAN THAT |
| | IF FOR ANY REASON, THE TREES AND/OR SHRUBS ON THE |
| | NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES ARE EVER REMOVED, THEN THIS |
| | PROPERTY SHALL INSTALL WHATEVER TREE AND PLANT MATERIAL |
| | IS REQUIRED TO MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (2), A HEDGE SHALL BE |
| | PLANTED ALONG THE INSIDE PERIMETER OF THE LANDSCAPE |
| | BUFFER THAT SEPARATES A VEHICULAR USE AREA FROM |
| | THOROUGHFARES. PLEASE ADD A HEDGE IN THE TERMINAL |
| | LANDCAPE ISLANDS ADJACENT TO FLAGLER DRIVE. |
| | |
| | 6. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3) (A) EVERY |
| | TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE |
| | SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE. PLEASE ADD A TREE AT THE EAST |
| | END OF THE PARALLEL PARKING ROW ON THE NORTH SIDE OF |
| | THE WILLIAM PITT HOUSE. A TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND |
| | WITH TREE MUST BE CREATED AT THE WEST END OF THE ANGLED |
| | PARKING ROW LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE 4478 |
| | SQUARE FOOT BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 7. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (4) (B), THOUGH TWO PALMS |
| | ARE THE EQUIVALENT TO ONE SHADE TREE, A MINIMUM OF |
| | THREE PALMS PER CLUSTER IS REQUIRED. MANY OF THE |
| | ISLANDS AND PORTIONS OF THE PERIMETER LANDSCAPE BUFFER |
| | SHOW GROUPINGS OF TWO PALMS. IN ADDITION, IT IS |
| | IMPOSSIBLE TO GROUP PALMS IN A FIVE FOOT OR LESS |
| | LANDSCAPE STRIP. THEREFORE, PALMS SHOULD NOT BE USED IN |
| | THE PERIMETER LANDSCAPE STIRPS. |
| | |
| | 8. PURSUANT TO SECTION 940446 (1), LANDSCAPING SHALL BE |
| | INSTALLED IN A SOUND WORKMANSHIP LIKE MANNER ACCORDING |
| | TO ACCEPTED AND PROPER PLANTING PROCEDURES. PLANT |
| | MATERIALS SHALL BE LOCATED AND INSTALLED TO PROVIDE |
| | PROPER GROWING CONDITIONS AND GOOD DRAINAGE OF ROOT |
| | SYSTEMS. SOIL IN LANDSCAPED AREAS SHALL BE FREE OF |
| | DEBRIS, INCLUDING PAVING BASE OR FILL MATERIAL, AND |
| | CALCAREOUS MATERIALS SUCH AS SHELL, LIME ROCK, |
| | CONCRETE, PLASTER AND STUCCO. PALMS CANNOT BE PLANTED |
| | IN AN AREA LESS THAN FIVE FEET IN WIDTH FOR THE ROOT |
| | SYSTEM TO PROPERLY DEVELOP. SHADE TREES GENERALLY NEED |
| | A LARGER GROWING AREA. THE PROPOSED TREES ADJACENT TO |
| | ORANGE COURT SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE NORTH, AWAY FROM |
| | THE UTILITY EASEMENT OR A LETTER SHALL BE OBTAINED FROM |
| | THE EASEMENT HOLDER ALLOWING SUCH PLANTING TO EXIST IN |
| | THE UTILITY EASEMENT. |
| | |
| | 9. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-444 (B), THE WALLS |
| | SURROUNDING THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE SHALL BE LANDSCAPED |
| | WITH SHRUBS AND HEDGES PLANTED AT TWO-FOOT INTERVALS. |
| | |
| | 10. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (5), PARKED VEHICLES |
| | SHALL NOT EXTEND INTO A LANDCAPED AREA THAT IS FIVE OR |
| | LESS FEET WIDE UNLESS TWO ADDITIONAL FEET ARE ADDED TO |
| | THE BUFFER. THE TWO ADDITIONAL FEET OF LANDSCAPING |
| | SHALL CONTAIN NO PLANT, IRRIGATION DEVICE, OR OTHER |
| | OBJECT HIGHER THAN THE CURB. BECAUSE THE LANDSCAPE |
| | BUFFER AT THE WEST PERIMETER OF THE SITE IS LESS THAN |
| | FIVE FEET, A CURB COULD BE INSTALLED IN THE LOCATION OF |
| | THE PROPOSED CAR STOPS WITH THE PAVEMENT BEYOND THE |
| | CURB BEING REMOVED AND CONVERTED INTO GREEN SPACE. THIS |
| | CANNOT BE COUNTED TOWARD MEETING THE FIVE FOOT |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENT, BUT IT WILL ALLOW TREES |
| | ROOM TO SPREAD THEIR ROOTS. |
| | |
| | 11. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (A) (2) (C), AT LEAST |
| | ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE SHALL BE PLANTED IN A |
| | REQUIRED BUFFER FOR EACH 30 LINEAR FEET OF PORTION |
| | THEREOF. TREES ARE MISSING ALONG THE NORTH PERIMETER OF |
| | THE SITE AND PALMS ARE PROPOSED IN OTHER PERIMETER |
| | BUFFERS AS MENTIONED IN ITEM NUMBER 7 ABOVE. |
| | |
| | 12. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-442 (C), PALM TREES MAY BE |
| | SUBSTITUTED FOR NOT MORE THAN 35 PERCENT OF THE SHADE |
| | OR FLOWERING TREES REQUIRED BY THIS ARTICLE. PURSUANT |
| | TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3), 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. |
