| | |
| | PLEASE RESPOND TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. THE LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS ARE INCORRECT. THE OPEN |
| | SPACE IS CALCULATED BY TAKING THE TOTAL LOT SQUARE |
| | FOOTAGE AND DEDUCTING THE BUILDING COVERAGE. THAT |
| | TOTALS 386,766 SQUARE FEET AND NOT 366,025 AS INDICATED |
| | ON THE PLAN. OTHER REQUIRED CALCULATIONS ARE MISSING. |
| | |
| | 2. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (D) (2) (A), SHADE TREES |
| | TO BE PLANTED AND LANDSCAPED ON EXTERIOR OF ALL |
| | STRUCTURES AS REQUIRED BY THE FOLLOWING: AT LEAST TWO |
| | SHADE OR FLOWERING TREES FOR EACH DWELLING UNIT FOR |
| | MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES WITH TWO TO FIVE |
| | UNITS PER STRUCTURE, AND AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR |
| | FLOWERING TREE FOR EACH DWELLING UNIT FOR MULTIFAMILY |
| | RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES WITH SIX OR MORE UNITS PER |
| | STRUCTURE. THIS SHALL BE ADDED INTO THE CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | 3. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-444 (B), MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT |
| | SHALL BE SCREENED. THE AIR CONDITIONING UNITS SHALL BE |
| | SCREENED BY FENCES OR LANDSCAPING. |
| | |
| | 4. MUCH OF THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPING IS SHOWN WITHIN |
| | VARIOUS UTILITY EASEMENTS. IN ORDER TO APPROVE SUCH |
| | PLANTING, THE APPLICANT SHALL PROVIDE LETTERS OF |
| | APPROVAL FROM THE AFFECTED UTILITY COMPANIES. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (4) (I), ALL PROHIBITED |
| | TREES, THAT INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO AUSTRALIAN |
| | PINE, BRAZILIAN PEPPER, EARLEAF ACACIA AND MELALEUCA, |
| | SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE DEVELOPMENT SITE. |
| | |
| | 6. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-446 (2), LANDSCAPING SHALL BE |
| | MAINTAINED IN GOOD CONDITION,SHALL PRESENT A HEALTHY, |
| | NEAT AND ORDERLY APPEARANCE, AND SHALL BE FREE FROM |
| | REFUSE AND DEBRIS. ALL UNHEALTHY OR DEAD MATERIAL SHALL |
| | BE REPLACED. MOST OF THE PERIMETER PLANTING WAS WEED |
| | INFESTED AND SOMEWHAT OVERGROWN WITH VINES. THE BEDS |
| | SHALL BE CLEANED UP AND REPLANTED WHERE NECESSARY. ALL |
| | EXISTING TREE STAKING MATERIAL SHALL BE REMOVED AND ALL |
| | OF THE TREES SHALL BE LIMBED UP AND CORRECTIVELY PRUNED |
| | BY A CERTIFIED ARBORIST. |
| | |
| | 7. THE LOCATION AND SPECIES OF ALL PROPOSED TREES SHALL |
| | COMPLY WITH THE FPL "PLANT THE RIGHT TREE IN THE RIGHT |
| | PLACE" GUIDELINES THAT RESTRICTS TREE SPECIES IN |
| | RELATION TO OVERHEAD POWER LINES. |
| | |
| | 8. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (2), ALL PLANT MATERIAL |
| | SHALL BE FLORIDA NUMBER ONE GRADE OR BETTER. ALL |
| | EXISTING TREES AND SHRUBS TO REMAIN SHALL MEET THESE |
| | STANDARDS. |
| | |
| | 9. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (4) (G) (4), WHEREVER |
| | FEASIBLE, SPRINKLER HEADS IRRIGATION LAWNS OR OTHER |
| | HIGH WATER DEMAND LANDSCAPE AREAS SHALL BE CIRCUITED SO |
| | THAT THEY ARE ON A SEPARATE ZONE OR ZONES FROM THOSE |
| | IRRIGATING TREES, SHRUBBERY OR OTHER REDUCED WATER |
| | REQUIREMENT AREAS. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS AND IN KEEPING |
| | WITH XERISCAPE GUIDELINES, STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT GROUND |
| | COVER BE USED INSTEAD OF SOD IN SMALL CONFINED AREAS |
| | SUCH AS BETWEEN THE PROPOSED HEDGE AND SIDEWALKS IN |
| | FRONT OF THE BUILDINGS AND IN THE LANDSCAPE SEPARATORS |
| | BETWEEN THE DRIVEWAYS. THE TREE AND PALM GROUPINGS |
| | SHALL ALSO BE UNDER PLANTED WITH PLANT MATERIAL SUCH AS |
| | FAKAHATCHEE GRASS, SAW PALMETTO AND FIREBUSH. THESE |
| | BEDS CAN BE PLACED ON SEPARATE ZONES FROM THE LAWN |
| | AREAS. |
| | |
| | 10. STAFF RECOMMENDS THE USE OF VERTICAL LANDSCAPE |
| | ELEMENTS WITHIN THE FOUNDATION PLANTING TO ACCENTUATE |
| | THE ARCHITECTURE AND SOFTEN THE FACADE. |
| | |
