| | |
| | 1. BASED ON VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE EXISTING ROADWAY |
| | CONDITION , DRIVEWAYS, AND SIDEWALK, THE CONDITION OF |
| | EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD |
| | CONDITION. EVIDENCE OF TREE ROOT DAMAGE OR CONFLICT IS |
| | MINIMAL AND LESS THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED, IN |
| | CONSIDERATION OF THE TREE MATURITY AND PLANTING |
| | LOCATION. THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE OF ROADWAY, |
| | SIDEWALK, OR CURB REPAIR ATTRIBUTED TO POSSIBLE TREE |
| | ROOT DAMAGE. WHAT EVIDENCE OF CONFLICT THAT IS PRESENT |
| | IS MINOR AND HAS BEEN MITIGATED. BASED ON SERVICES |
| | RECORDS AS PROVIDED BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES DEPARTMENT |
| | CENTRAL OPERATIONS, BETWEEN 2005-2010 THERE ARE NO |
| | RECORDS OF WATER MAIN BREAKS OR DAMAGE TO THE UTILITY |
| | SYSTEM. THERE ARE RECORDS OF THREE (3) INDIVIDUAL |
| | RESIDENTIAL SERVICE LINE CALLS FOR SERVICE. ALL CALLS |
| | WERE CUSTOMER SIDE SERVICE PROBLEMS RELATED TO |
| | IRRIGATION PROBLEMS. THERE ARE RECORDS OF SEVEN (7) |
| | INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTIAL SERVICE COMPLAINTS FOR LOW |
| | PRESSURE, ALL WERE CORRECTED AND UNATTRIBUTED TO TREE |
| | ROOT RELATED CONFLICTS. |
| | |
| | 2. THE PROPOSED MITIGATION TREES (HOLLY, CLUSIA, ORANGE |
| | GEIGER) ARE TYPE THREE MATRIX (COLUMNAR) AND TYPE FOUR |
| | MATRIX (VASE) SHAPED TREES, AS CLASSIFIED BY THE |
| | FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES |
| | GRADES AND STANDARDS. THESE TREES ARE NOT COMPARABLE TO |
| | THE EXISTING LIVE OAK IN MATURE SIZE AND CANOPY SPREAD |
| | AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR MITIGATION BY A MULTIPLING |
| | FACTOR OF 3:1. |
| | |
| | 3. THE RLA CONCEPT PLANS REPRESENT THAT 90% OF THE |
| | PROPOSED TREES TO BE REMOVED WILL BE REPLACED BY |
| | FOXTAIL PALMS. BASED ON VISUAL INSPECTION AND |
| | PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE, THE FOXTAIL PALMS INSTALLATION |
| | WILL REQUIRE THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING LIVE OAK ROOT |
| | BALL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A VIABLE PLANTING LOCATION. |
| | THIS ACTIVITY WAS NOT REPRESENTED IN THE PROPOSED WORK. |
| | IF ANY OF THE ROOT BALLS ARE REMOVED, ENGINEERING WILL |
| | REQUIRE A SEPARATE SUBMISSION FOR PERMIT AND ASSIGNMENT |
| | FOR PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC UTILITY SYSTEM ASSETS. |
