| | PROJECT: SOUTHWIND PLAZA CPD Z18020025 |
| | MAY 31, 2018 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | |
| | 1. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. STAFF HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE |
| | MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING TO BE PRESERVED PARKING LOT |
| | LIVE OAK TREES AND NEW PROPOSED LIVE OAK TREES. THERE |
| | ARE STILL MAJOR 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 ASSURE THE |
| | ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE TREES WITH PROPER PRUNING PER |
| | SECTION 94-446(2). |
| | THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN INDICATES REPLACING LARGE |
| | CANOPY TREES WITH PALMS 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 |
| | LIGHTING PLACEMENT TO ACCOMMODATE THE APPROVED SPECIES |
| | OR EQUIVALENT. |
| | |
| | THE PLAN SUBMITTED IS MUCH IMPROVED AND PROVIDES NEW |
| | SUSTAINABLE POTENTIAL TREE CANOPY FOR THE PARKING |
| | AREAS, HOWEVER THERE ARE THREE AREAS THAT NEED FURTHER |
| | IMPROVEMENT: |
| | |
| | ? A REQUIRED TREE MUST BE PLACED IN THE LANDSCAPE |
| | TERMINAL ISLAND AT THE SOUTH END OF THE THIRD ROW OF |
| | PARKING WEST OF THE BANK BUILDING. |
| | |
| | ? THE SECOND ROW OF PARKING EAST OF THE PROPOSED ONE |
| | STORY BUILDING CANNOT EXCEED 10 SPACES IN A ROW WITHOUT |
| | A LANDSCAPE ISLAND OF AT LEAST 10 FEET INSIDE CURB, OR |
| | 12 SPACES IN A ROW IF THE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS ARE 10 OR |
| | MORE FEET WIDE INSIDE CURB. THE NO PARKING AREA DOES |
| | NOT QUALIFY. THE ISLAND SHOULD BE PLACED SO THAT ROWS |
| | ONE AND TWO ARE SIMILAR TO ROWS THREE AND FOUR. |
| | |
| | ? ROWS FIVE AND SIX EAST OF PROPOSED ONE STORY |
| | BUILDING MEET THE PARKING SPACE SPACING REQUIREMENTS, |
| | BUT LEAVE A LARGE GAP IN THE TREE CANOPY. STAFF |
| | REQUESTS A SEPARATE PLAN SHOWING THE POTENTIAL TREE |
| | CANOPY AT MATURITY FOR EACH TREE INDICATED WITH A RED |
| | CIRCLE TO SHOW THE EVENTUAL CANOPY COVERAGE. THIS WILL |
| | BE USED TO SHOW THE PLANNING BOARD AND CITY COMMISSION |
| | HOW WELL THE FUTURE TREE CANOPY WILL MINIMIZE THE HEAT |
| | ISLAND EFFECTS FROM THE PAVED AREAS. |
| | |
| | 2. THE NEW DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE ADDED EAST OF TRACT C |
| | MUST MEET THE REQUIREMENT FOR A HEDGE ON 3 NON ACCESS |
| | SIDES. |
| | |
| | |
| | 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. |
