| | NOT MEET THE INTENT OF THE LANDSCAPE CODE FOR THE CITY, |
| | AND MAY NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS AND INTENT OF THE |
| | LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES WITHIN THE COVENANTS FOR |
| | THE METROCENTRE CPD. THE MATURE TREES PROVIDE BUFFERING |
| | FROM I-95, AND THE COVENANTS REQUIRE LANDSCAPE AND |

| | CHANGES WILL HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE POA. |

| | OF BOTH SECTIONS ADDED TOGETHER. 3240 + 2310. |
| | |
| | 5. SHOW THAT THE REQUIRED PARKING LOT TREES MEET THE |
| | 75% CATEGORY ONE SHADE TREE REQUIREMENT. REQUIRED TREES |
| | INCLUDE ALL TERMINAL ISLAND AND ISLANDS ADJACENT TO |
| | PARKING SPACES. |
| | |
| | 6. CORRECT THE REQUIRED BUFFER TREE CALCULATIONS TO 22 |

| | PLAN. |

| | |
| | 10. PLEASE CORRECT THE FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE CHART |

| | CATEGORY OF NATIVE AND DROUGHT TOLERANT. |
