| | PROJECT: KRAVIS CENTER Z16070022 |
| | AUGUST 9, 2016 |
| | |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION BASED ON |
| | THE SUBMITTED INFORMATION, AND PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING |
| | COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. 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. |
| | |
| | 2. PLEASE NOTE THE DRI AND SECTION 94-448 REQUIRE |
| | HEALTHY TREES TO BE RELOCATED. 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. DRI REQUIRES: |
| | |
| | LANDSCAPING AND TREE PROTECTION PLAN |
| | |
| | 1. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED TO BY THE CITY AND THE |
| | DEVELOPER PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF ANY BUILDING PERMITS |
| | FOR A PARTICULAR SITE, THE DEVELOPER SHALL PROVIDE, IN |
| | CONFORMANCE TO THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH ZONING CODE |
| | AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS AND IN A FORM |
| | ACCEPTABLE TO THE PLANNING, ZONING AND BUILDING |
| | DIRECTOR MANAGER, A LANDSCAPE AND TREE PROTECTION PLAN |
| | FOR THE SUBJECT SITE. SUCH PLAN SHALL SPECIFICALLY |
| | ADDRESS PRESERVATION, PROTECTION AND RELOCATION OF |
| | SIGNIFICANT VEGETATION WITHIN THE SITE. |
| | |
| | 3. PLEASE PROVIDE LANDSCAPE BUFFERING ALONG THE |
| | PROPOSED PARKING STRUCTURE COMPLYING WITH THE SITE |
| | DESIGN QUALITATIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF THE DRI, |
| | SPECIFICALLY (3) SCREENING AND BUFFERING OF RESIDENTS |
| | AND USERS OF OFF SITE DEVELOPMENT FROM ON-SITE ADVERSE |
| | EFFECTS, AND (4) ENHANCEMENT OF RESIDENTIAL PRIVACY |
| | THROUGH FENCES, WALLS, BARRIERS AND VEGETATION ARRANGED |
| | TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE THE PROPERTY AND TO ENHANCE THE |
| | PRIVACY OF ITS OCCUPANTS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 4. SECTION 94-117 CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT (CAD) AS |
| | UNDERLYING ZONING REQUIRES STRONG PEDESTRIAN |
| | CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE CULTURAL FACILITIES AND |
| | CITYPLACE BY IMPROVING SAPODILLA AVENUE AS THE MAIN |
| | PEDESTRIAN WALKING STREET WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF |
| | TREE CANOPY TO PROVIDE SHADE. THE CURRENT PLACEMENT OF |
| | LIVE OAK TREES PROVIDES A COOLING CANOPY FOR |
| | PEDESTRIANS, AND THE PROPOSED PLAN WOULD REMOVE ALL |
| | TREE CANOPY ALONG SAPODILLA. PLEASE REVISE TO MEET THIS |
| | STANDARD. |
| | |
| | 5. PLEASE VERIFY THE SITE WILL COMPLY WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS FOR CAD FOUND IN SECTION 94-117 AND TABLE |
| | IV-13 FOR PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE. |
| | |
| | 6. 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 INCLUDING 94-442 AND 94-443 FOR ALL SURFACE |
| | PARKING AND DRIVE AISLE |
| | |
| | 7. 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. |
| | |
| | 8. PLEASE PROVIDE LOCATIONS OF LIGHTING ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN TO AVOID CONFLICTS WITH LANDSCAPING. |
| | |
| | 9. PLEASE PROVIDE MEASUREMENTS AND CALCULATIONS FOR THE |
| | BUFFER TREES REQUIRED FOR ALL BUFFER LENGTHS IN ANY |
| | AFFECTED AREAS PER SECTION 94-443 B. IN THE DATA CHART. |
| | THIS INCLUDES IRIS AND SAPODILLA BUFFERS. |
| | |
| | 10. 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. |
| | |
| | 11. PLEASE PROVIDE SCREENING FOR ALL GROUND MOUNTED |
| | EQUIPMENT AND UTILITIES. |
| | |
| | |
| | PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE |
| | REQUESTED, AND STAFF MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS AS |
| | THE REVIEW PROCESS CONTINUES. |
| | CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL |
| | 1. PRIOR TO THE REMOVAL OR RELOCATION OF ANY TREES ON |
