| 2010-10-13 11:59:30 | ***LANDSCAPE REVIEW FAILED*** |
| | |
| | PLEASE RESPOND TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN FOERMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. THE LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS ARE INCORRECT. THE |
| | REQUIRED TREES AND SHRUBS ARE BASED UPON OPEN |
| | SPACE--NOT PERVIOUS LANDSCAPE AREA. OPEN SPACE IS |
| | DETERMINED BY TAKING THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE |
| | SITE AND DEDUCTING THE BUILDING FOOTPRINT. OPEN SPACE |
| | IS THE DIFFERENCE. THERE IS A DEFICIENCY IN THE NUMBER |
| | OF TREES AND SHRUBS REQUIRED. PLEASE REVISE THE |
| | CALCULATIONS AND MODIFY THE PLAN TO DEMONSTRATE |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 2. .PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-448 (D) (2), ALL OF THE |
| | ITEMS ENUMERATED IN THIS SECTION ARE REQUIRED TO BE |
| | PART OF THE LANDSCAPE PLAN, WHICH WILL INCLUDE THE |
| | LOCATION OF ALL EASEMENTS AND UTILITIES TO BE SHOWN ON |
| | THE PLAN. ALL EXISTING SHRUBS AND TREES SHALL BE |
| | IDENTIFIED. |
| | |
| | 3. FIVE POINTS WERE TAKEN ON THE XERISCAPE DESIGN |
| | OPTIONS FOR THE USE OF A MOISTURE SENSING CONTROLLER |
| | OTHER THAN A RAIN SWITCH, BUT A RAIN SWITCH WAS |
| | PROPOSED. PLEASE CLARIFY BY INDICATING THE TYPE OF |
| | EQUIPMENT TO BE USED. |
| | |
| | 4. 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. PLEASE SHOW SOD IN |
| | THE RIGHTS-OF-WAY. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-445 (4) (G) (3) (II), IN ALL |
| | AREAS TO BE PLANTED IN A CULTIVATED LANDSCAPE, |
| | IRRIGATION SYSTEMS SHALL BE DESIGNED TO HAVE 120 |
| | PERCENT COVERAGE. THIS INCLUDES ALL RIGHTS-OF-WAY. |
| | ALSO, A NOTE ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN INDICATES THAT 100% |
| | COVERAGE WILL BE PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | 6. 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. WHEN PALM |
| | TREES ARE SUBSTITUTED FOR SHADE TREES, TWO PALM TREES |
| | SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR EACH REQUIRED SHADE TREE. THIS |
| | 2:1 SUBSTITUTION SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED FOR ROYAL PALMS |
| | BUT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOXTAIL PALMS. IN ANY |
| | CASE, THE |
| | 35 PERCENT CANNOT BE EXCEEDED. PLEASE PROVIDE THE |
| | CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | 7. THE PROPOSED HEDGE ALONG THE EAST PROPERTY LINE |
| | SHALL BE PLANTED ALONG THE INTERIOR PERIMETER OF THE |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH SOD OR PREFERABLY GROUND COVER |
| | BETWEEN THE HEDGE AND SIDEWALK. THE HEDGES ALONG THE |
| | NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF THE SITE SHALL BE PLANTED 18 |
| | INCHES IN FROM THE PROPERTY LINE. |
| | |
| | 8. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (B) (4), AT LEAST ONE |
| | SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE SHALL BE PLANTED IN THE |
| | REQUIRED LANDSCAPE STRIP FOR EACH 30 LINEAR FEET OR |
| | PORTION THEREOF. THIS LANDSCAPE STRIP IS REQUIRED TO |
| | BUFFER NONRESIDENTIAL USES ADJACENT TO A PUBLIC |
| | THOROUGHFARE AND NONRESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT AND |
| | APPLIES TO THE NORTH, SOUTH AND EAST PERIMETER OF THE |
| | SITE. THE SPACING BETWEEN TREES EXCEEDS THIRTY (30) |
| | FEET ALONG THE EAST SIDE AND NO TREES ARE SHOWN ALONG |
| | THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE SITE. |
| | |
| | 9. 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 AND NOT |
| | LESS THAN THE LENGTH OF THE ADJACENT PARKING STALL. THE |
| | LANDSCAPED ISLAND SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR |
| | FLOWERING TREE. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE (1) MISSING |
| | ISLAND ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING AND TWO (2) ON |
| | THE WEST SIDE. |
| | |
| | 10. THERE ARE SOME CONFLICTS BETWEEN PROPOSED STREET |
| | LIGHTS AND TREES. |
| | |
| | 11. STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT IN ALL AREAS WHERE PARKING |
| | ROWS ARE ADJACENT TO LANDSCAPE AREAS, CURBING BE USED |
| | INSTEAD OF CAR STOPS. PARKED VEHICLES SHALL NOT EXTEND |
| | INTO A LANDSCAPED 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 |
| | SIX INCHES ABOVE THE TOP OF THE CURB. IN ADDITION, THE |
| | PROPOSED 26 FOOT DRIVE AISLE ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE |
| | BUILDING COULD BE REDUCED TO 24 FEET WITH THE |
| | ADDITIONAL AREA CONVERTED INTO GREEN SPACE. THIS WILL |
| | CONVERT PAVED AREA INTO GREEN SPACE AND ALLOW THE TREES |
| | MORE ROOM FOR THEIR ROOT SYSTEM FO DEVELOP. |
| | |
| | 12. PLEASE SUBMIT A TREE ALTERATION PERMIT APPLICATION |
| | WITH SETS OF SIGNED AND SEALED PLANS TO THE PLANNING |
| | AND ZONING DEPARTMENT. |
| | |
| | 13. PLEASE PROVIDE SOD AND IRRIGATION ON THE OUTPARCEL |
| | SITE. |
| | |
| | IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ROBERT |
| | KUSSNER @ (561) 822-1462. |
