| | PROJECT: KRAVIS CENTER PARKING RAMP Z16070021 |
| | JULY 11, 2017 |
| | |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION FOR |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE DMP CODE AND PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING |
| | COMMENTS BASED ON THE SUBMITTED INFORMATION: |
| | |
| | 1. SATISFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE A RECENT TREE SURVEY |
| | IDENTIFYING EXISTING TREES ON THE PROPERTY. PLEASE MAKE |
| | CORRECTIONS TO THE TREE INVENTORY PLAN TO INDICATE THE |
| | CORRECT SPECIES, SIZE, AND IF THEY WILL BE REMOVED, |
| | RELOCATED, OR REMAIN. PALMS 147-151 ARE PHOENIX |
| | CANARIENSIS. |
| | THERE ARE SEVERAL TREES AND PALMS MISSING FROM THE |
| | DISPOSITION LIST ON SHEET TD1.02 THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE |
| | PLAN SHEET TD1.01. PLEASE CORRECT THE LIST TO INCLUDE |
| | ALL TREES SHOWN ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED THERE ARE MANY DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE |
| | TREE INVENTORY PLAN, THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AND THE |
| | MITIGATION CHART AS TO WHAT TREES AND PALMS ARE BEING |
| | RELOCATED, AND WHAT IS PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED. |
| | THERE ARE SEVERAL TREES AND PALMS MISSING FROM THE |
| | DISPOSITION LIST ON SHEET TD1.02 THAT ARE SHOWN ON THE |
| | PLAN SHEET TD1.01. PLEASE CORRECT THE LIST TO INCLUDE |
| | ALL TREES SHOWN ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3. SATISFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE THE DROUGHT TOLERANCE |
| | LEVEL FOR EACH PLANT SPECIES ON THE PLANT LIST, AND |
| | SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 94-442(G) FLORIDA FRIENDLY |
| | LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS. PLEASE LABEL THE SECTION IN |
| | THE CHART AS SUCH. ADDING A COLUMN IDENTIFYING NATIVE |
| | PLANTS IS ALSO SUGGESTED. |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. PLEASE REMOVE THE NOTE ON SHEET LP3.01 |
| | REGARDING ARTICLE XIV LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS, AND |
| | PROVIDE A DATA CHART SHOWING COMPLIANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIRED CODE SECTIONS FOR THE DMP- 94-117 CULTURAL |
| | ARTS DISTRICT, INCLUDING PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOUND IN TABLE IV-13. |
| | |
| | 5. NO LONGER APPLIES TO REDESIGNED PLAN. PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | LANDSCAPING ALONG THE RAMP IN COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | STREETSCAPE AND LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS IN SECTION |
| | 94-113 (D), (E), AND (F). |
| | |
| | 6. CONDITIONALLY SATISFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE LOCATIONS OF |
| | LIGHTING ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN TO AVOID CONFLICTS WITH |
| | LANDSCAPING. |
| | |
| | 7. SATISFIED. PLEASE SHOW LOCATIONS OF ROOT BARRIERS TO |
| | PROTECT INFRASTRUCTURE AND TREES FROM CONFLICTS. THIS |
| | INCLUDES WATER, SEWER, DRAINAGE, SIDEWALKS AND CURBS, |
| | AND ANY FIELD STRUCTURES THAT COULD BE IMPACTED BY TREE |
| | ROOTS. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE SCREENING FOR ALL GROUND |
| | MOUNTED EQUIPMENT AND UTILITIES. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 7/11/17: |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT DESTRUCTION OF THE |
| | LARGE LIVE OAK TREES ON SITE. THE INTENT OF THE DRI, |
| | THE DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN AND THE TREE PROTECTION CODE |
| | IS TO RELOCATE THE HEALTHY LIVE OAKS ON SITE TO |
| | LOCATIONS WHERE THE BENEFITS OF THE MATURE CANOPY WILL |
| | BE MAXIMIZED FOR THE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH RECENT MOBILITY STUDIES AND |
| | RECOMMENDATIONS. |
| | STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE APPLICANT RELOCATE THE LIVE |
| | OAK TREES TO BEHIND THE SIDEWALKS ON 30 FOOT CENTERS |
| | ALONG ALL BUFFERS ADJACENT TO SAPODILLA AVENUE AND |
| | OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD RATHER THAN ADD NEW TREES IN THE |
| | SAME CATEGORY. |
| | THE SIGN DESIGN FOR THE CORNER OF TAMARIND AND |
| | OKEECHOBEE WILL CAUSE THE REMOVAL OF ONE OF THE LIVE |
| | OAK TREES ALONG TAMARIND. PLEASE ADJUST THE DESIGN OR |
| | LOCATION TO AVOID RELOCATION OF THE OAK. |
| | THE ADDITION OF THE PARKING AREA SOUTH OF THE EXISTING |
| | PARKING GARAGE ALSO CAUSES A CONFLICT WITH EXISTING |
| | OAKS AND MAHOGANY THAT CAN BE DESIGNED TO AVOID REMOVAL |
| | OF EXISTING SHADE TREES. |
| | |
| | CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL |
| | 1. PRIOR TO THE REMOVAL OR RELOCATION OF ANY TREES ON |
| | THE PROPERTY, A TREE ALTERATION PERMIT SHALL BE |
| | SUBMITTED, REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE DEVELOPMENT |
| | SERVICES DEPARTMENT, PLANNING DIVISION. |
| | 2. PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A LANDSCAPE PERMIT, THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN AND LIGHTING PLAN SHALL BE REVISED TO |
| | ELIMINATE CONFLICTS BETWEEN TREES AND LIGHT FIXTURES. |
| | 3. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL BE |
| | RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERMITTING AND INSTALLATION OF THE |
| | STREET TREES, TREE GRATES, RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPING AND |
| | IRRIGATION APPROVED WITH THIS PETITION. |
| | 4. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL BE |
| | RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE ROAD RIGHT OF |
| | WAY LANDSCAPING, TREE GRATES, AND IRRIGATION ADJACENT |
