| | MEMO TO FILE |
| | PROJECT: SOUTHWIND PLAZA CPD Z17080017 |
| | SEPTEMBER 7, 2017 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | |
| | 1. STAFF HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE OF THE |
| | PARKING LOT LIVE OAK TREES. THEY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY |
| | TOPPED RECENTLY AFTER CITY STAFF ADVISED OWNERSHIP OF |
| | PROPER PRUNING TECHNIQUES THAT WOULD BE PERFORMED BY A |
| | CERTIFIED ARBORIST PER CITY CODE REQUIREMENTS. ONE |
| | ISSUE APPEARS TO BE LIGHTING CONFLICTS AND STAFF |
| | RECOMMENDS LOOKING AT OPTIONS TO UPDATE AND ADJUST THE |
| | LOCATIONS OF LIGHTING IN CONCERT WITH THE LANDSCAPE |
| | PLAN TO PREVENT CONFLICTS WITH REQUIRED TREES, AND |
| | MAINTAIN THE TREES WITH PROPER PRUNING PER SECTION |
| | 94-446(2). |
| | |
| | 2. THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN INDICATES REPLACING |
| | MISSING LARGE CANOPY TREES WITH SMALL SCALE SPECIES |
| | THAT DO NOT PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE PARKING SPACES. THIS |
| | DOES NOT MEET THE INTENT OF THE CODE OR THE APPROVED |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN AND THE APPLICANT NEEDS TO EXAMINE |
| | SOLUTIONS TO ADJUST THE PLANTING AREAS TO ACCOMMODATE |
| | THE APPROVED SPECIES OR EQUIVALENT. |
| | |
| | 3. THERE ARE MANY MISSING REQUIRED TREES THAT APPEAR ON |
| | THE APPROVED LANDSCAPE PLAN, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTH |
| | BUFFER. ALL TREES THAT APPEAR ON THE APPROVED PLAN MUST |
| | BE SHOWN AS EXISTING ON THE AMENDED PLAN, OR EQUIVALENT |
| | REPLACEMENT SPECIES SPECIFIED. |
| | |
| | 4. THE SABAL PALMS PLANTED IN THE BUFFERS ALONG 45TH |
| | STREET AND N. MILITARY TRAIL DO NOT MATCH THE APPROVED |
| | PLAN, AND THIS MUST BE RECORDED ON THE UPDATED PLAN. |
| | ANY MISSING PALMS MUST BE INDICTED ON THE PLAN AND THEN |
| | REPLACED. |
| | |
| | 5. CARS ARE CURRENTLY BEING PARKED ON UNPAVED SURFACES |
| | AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY UNDER EXISTING |
| | TREES. CURBING AND LANDSCAPE AREAS MUST BE ACCURATELY |
| | DEPICTED ON THE PLAN AND RESTORED ON SITE TO MATCH. |
| | |
| | 6. PLEASE PROVIDE A PLANT LIST THAT INCLUDES ALL |
| | EXISTING AND PROPOSED TREES AND SHRUBS ON SITE WITH THE |
| | PROPOSED SPECIES TO GIVE A COMPREHENSIVE QUANTITY OF |
| | TREES AND PALMS PROVIDED IN ORDER TO ASSESS THE |
| | COMPLIANCE LEVEL FOR REQUIRED TREES AND 35 PERCENT |
| | LIMIT ON SUBSTITUTION OF PALMS PER SECTION 94-442(D). |
| | |
| | 7. PLEASE INDICATE THE LOCATION OF WHEEL STOPS OR |
| | PARKING OVERHANG INTO LANDSCAPE AREAS ACCORDING TO THE |
| | LENGTH OF THE PROPOSED PARKING SPACES. |
| | |
| | 8. PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATED CHART SHOWING COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING PER SECTION 94-442 |
| | (G). THIS INCLUDES SHOWING DROUGHT TOLERANCE LEVEL AND |
| | NATIVE SPECIES ON THE PLANT LIST AND PROVIDING THE |
| | REQUIRED 40 POINTS. |
| | |
| | 9. PLEASE INDICATE LOCATIONS OF ACCESS SIDEWALKS ON THE |
| | REAR OF THE PROPOSED BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 10. PLEASE ADJUST THE NOTE REGARDING INVASIVE EXOTIC |
| | PLANT SPECIES ON SHEET LP-1 TO REFLECT THE PROHIBITED |
| | TREE SPECIES REFERENCED IN CODE SECTION 94-445(4)I. |
| | THAT WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE ENTIRE |
| | SITE PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY |
| | FOR THE PROPOSED BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 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. |
