| | |
| | 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 CLARIFY |
| | HOW YOUR CALCULATIONS WERE DERIVED. 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. YOUR |
| | CALCULATION INDICATED THAT THE OPEN SPACE TOTALED |
| | 83,739 SQUARE FEET. THE ACTUAL OPEN SPACE COMES TO 107, |
| | 541 SQUARE FEET. THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SHADE TREES IS |
| | 68,. REQUIRED FLOWERING TREES IS 17 AND THE REQUIRED |
| | SHRUBS IS 216. REGARDING THE XERISCAPE CALCULATIONS, |
| | FIVE POINTS WERE TAKEN FOR PROVIDING TWENTY-FIVE |
| | PERCENT MORE THAN THE REQUIRED SHADE TREES IN THE |
| | VEHICULAR USE AREAS. IT APPEARS THAT ALL INTERIOR TREES |
| | WITHIN THE VEHICULAR USE AREAS ARE REQUIRED AND THAT |
| | THERE ARE NO TREES IN EXCESS. |
| | |
| | 2. REPEAT COMMENT: 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 |
| | SITE PLAN SHOWS THIS EXTENDED GREEN SPACE BUT IT WAS |
| | NOT REFLECTED ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. 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. THIS WAS NOT SHOWN ON |
| | THE SITE OR LANDSCAPE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 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. THE CORRECT NUMBER OF TREES THAT WOULD |
| | BE REQUIRED SHALL BE IDENTIFIED AND CAN BE COUNTED IN |
| | THE TREES PROVIDED CALCULATION, EVEN THOUGH |
| | INSTALLATION OF THESE TREES MAY NEVER BE REQUIRED. A |
| | HEDGE IS REQUIRED AND THE BALANCE OF THE LANDSCAPE |
| | STRIP SHALL BE PLANTED WITH GRASS OR GROUND COVER. THE |
| | HEDGE WAS SHOWN, BUT NO GROUND COVER WAS SPECIFIED. 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. REPEAT COMMENT: PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-444 (B), THE |
| | WALLS SURROUNDING THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE SHALL BE |
| | LANDSCAPED WITH SHRUBS AND HEDGES PLANTED AT TWO-FOOT |
| | INTERVALS. THE DETAIL FOUND ON SHEET 2 OF 2 (SITE PLAN) |
| | SHOWS A HEDGE BUT THIS HEDGE IS NOT SHOWN ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN. PLEASE SHOW IT ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN |
| | AND IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF HEDGE TO BE INSTALLED. |
| | |
| | 6 REPEAT COMMENT: 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. THE USE OF |
| | CURBING HAS BEEN SHOWN BUT THE TREES DEPICTED IN THAT |
| | GENERAL LOCATION ARE INTERIOR TREES AND CANNOT BE |
| | COUNTED TOWARD MEETING THE PERIMETER TREE REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 7. THE STRIPING AND CURBING SHALL BE SHOWN ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN. THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND ON THE SOUTH SIDE |
| | OF THE EXISTING TWO-STORY BUILDING IS SHOWN ON THE SITE |
| | PLAN, BUT IS NOT SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. ACCORDING |
| | TO THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, THE REQUIRED TREE IS LOCATED IN |
| | THE PAVEMENT INSTEAD OF THE ISLAND. |
| | |
| | 8. THE PROPOSED LIVE OAKS ALONG THE PERIMETER LANDSCAPE |
| | BUFFER ADJACENT TO ORANGE COURT SHALL BE EQUALLY SPACED |
| | BETWEEN THE PROPOSED CRAPE MYRTLE TREES. ADDITIONAL |
| | TREES ARE NEEDED ALONG THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON THE EAST |
| | SIDE OF COCOANUT LANE TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIRED 30 |
| | FOOT SPACING. .THE LIVE OAKS ARE INTERIOR TREES AND |
| | CANNOT BE COUNTED TOWARD MEETING THE PERIMETER TREE |
| | REQUIREMENT. |
