| | PROJECT: 550 QUADRILLE Z17020040 |
| | NOVEMBER 16, 2018 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. NOT SATISFIED. PLEASE REFER TO THE PREVIOUSLY |
| | APPROVED PLAN FOR REFERENCE ON THE TREE DISPOSITION, |
| | MITIGATION AND OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | THE QUALITY OF THE PLANTINGS USING THE SABAL PALMS |
| | APPEARS TO BE A DOWNGRADE FROM THE APPROVED PLAN. THE |
| | SABAL PALMS DO NOT HAVE TO BE USED ON SITE, THEY CAN BE |
| | RELOCATED TO ANOTHER LOCATION WITHIN THE CITY, |
| | INCLUDING PUBLIC SPACES. |
| | THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF THE LANDSCAPING IS REDUCED |
| | FOR THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN. STAFF REQUESTS THAT |
| | QUANTITIES OF STREET TREES BE MAINTAINED AS APPROVED, |
| | AND PUBLIC OPEN SPACE AREAS PROVIDE COMPARABLE TREE |
| | CANOPY AREA AS THE APPROVED PLAN. |
| | |
| | 2. NOT SATISFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE A DIAGRAM AND |
| | CALCULATIONS TO SHOW THE OPEN SPACE AREAS BY CATEGORY, |
| | AND PERCENTAGE OF VEGETATED AREA AND TREE CANOPY TO |
| | MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 94-109 TABLE IV-7. |
| | EACH OPEN SPACE AREA NEEDS TO BE DEFINED. TREE CANOPY |
| | FROM AREAS OUTSIDE THE DESIGNATED OPEN SPACE AREA |
| | CANNOT BE COUNTED. ALL TREE CANOPY CREDITS FOR OPEN |
| | SPACE REQUIREMENTS CAN BE FOUND IN TABLE IV-8. |
| | |
| | 3. NOT SATISFIED. PLEASE IDENTIFY EACH PUBLIC AND |
| | PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AREA BY TYPE ACCORDING TO THE |
| | DEFINITIONS FOUND IN SECTION 94-109. |
| | THERE ARE THREE OPTIONS FROM TABLE IV-6 FOR QGD10 FOR |
| | PUBLIC OPEN SPACE. GARDEN PLAZA, GARDEN COURTYARD OR |
| | PASSAGEWAY. IDENTIFY WHAT THE TYPE IS FOR EACH PUBLIC |
| | OPEN SPACE AREA. PLAZA IS NOT AN OPTION. |
| | |
| | 4. NOT SATISFIED. PLEASE SHOW THE CALCULATIONS FOR TREE |
| | CANOPY BY SPECIES FOR THE OPEN SPACE CATEGORIES PER |
| | SECTION 94-109 TABLE IV-8. |
| | TREES AND CANOPY CREDITS MUST BE LISTED AND LABELED. |
| | |
| | 5. SATISFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION ON HOW THE |
| | TREES PROPOSED TO BE RELOCATED WILL BE STORED DURING |
| | CONSTRUCTION. THE LOCATION ON SITE IS NOT FEASIBLE |
| | DURING CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING. QUALITY OF THE |
| | EXISTING TREES AND PALMS IS NOT GOOD, AND THE |
| | SURVIVABILITY MAY BE LOW WITH POTENTIALLY MOVING THEM |
| | TWICE. SEE COMMENT 1. |
| | |
| | 6. NOT SATISFIED. PLEASE PROVIDE A STRUCTURAL SOIL |
| | DETAIL AND SHOW THE LOCATIONS OF STRUCTURAL SOIL ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | LOCATIONS FOR STRUCTURAL SOIL UNDER SIDEWALKS ADJACENT |

| | PLAN. AREAS ARE INCOMPLETE ON S DIXIE SIDE, AND THERE |
| | ARE NONE SHOWN ON THE 4TH STREET SIDE. |
| | |
| | 7. NOT SATISFIED. STREET TREES LOCATED IN A SIDEWALK |
| | THAT IS ADJACENT TO A PERVIOUS LANDSCAPE AREA SHALL |
| | HAVE THE STRUCTURAL SOIL EXTENDED UNDER THE SIDEWALK TO |
| | MEET THE LANDSCAPE AREA IF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE 5 |
| | FOOT REQUIRED STRUCTURAL SOIL AND THE LANDSCAPE AREA IS |
| | LESS THAN 4 FEET. PLEASE SHOW THESE AREAS ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | SEE COMMENT #6. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PLEASE SHOW SAFE SIGHT TRIANGLE AT |
| | VEHICLE ENTRANCES AND EXITS. THE ENTRANCES NEED TO BE |
| | ENGINEERED TO ALLOW ANY TREES AND SHRUBS AND |
| | GROUNDCOVER TO BE PLANTED IN ANY LANDSCAPE AREAS |
| | LOCATED ADJACENT TO THEM, AND STILL ALLOW SAFE SIGHT |
| | TRIANGLES TO BE CLEAR. |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. PISCIDIA PISCIPULA IS NOT COLD HARDY TO |
| | THIS ZONE. PLEASE PROPOSE A MORE APPROPRIATE SPECIES. |
| | |
