| | PROJECT: CLARE CPD MAJOR Z18110022 |
| | DECEMBER 7, 2018 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SUBMITTED IS A DOWNGRADE FROM THE |
| | APPROVED PLAN. THERE ARE MANY AREAS THAT COULD SUPPORT |
| | TREE CANOPY TO PROVIDE SHADE FOR SIDEWALKS AND PLAZAS |
| | AND IMPROVE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AREAS. MORE |
| | SHRUB AREAS CAN BE ADDED. STAFF WILL NOT SUPPORT |
| | WAIVERS THAT ARE SELF CREATED. |
| | |
| | 2. ALL AREAS MUST BE LANDSCAPED TO MEET CODE |
| | REQUIREMENTS, THE AREA REFERRED TO AS THE ART PARK |
| | WOULD BE A SEPARATE AMENDMENT TO THE APPROVED PLAN IF |
| | CHANGES ARE PROPOSED LATER. |
| | |
| | 3. SHOW ALL AREAS OF ROADWAY BEAUTIFICATION LANDSCAPE |
| | ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SO THAT THE FULL EFFECT OF |
| | SEAMLESS DESIGN CAN BE CLEAR. |
| | |
| | 4. PLEASE PROVIDE THE PERCENTAGE OF PALMS SUBSTITUTED |
| | FOR REQUIRED TREES. THE CALCULATIONS FOR THE PALMS |
| | PROVIDED ONLY ADD UP TO CREDIT FOR 49 TREES. EXPLAIN |
| | HOW THE CREDIT CLAIMED FOR 77 TREES WAS CALCULATED. |
| | |
| | 5. CORRECT THE FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE DESIGN CHART |
| | TO THE CURRENT CODE AND PROVIDE THE REQUIRED 50 POINTS. |
| | |
| | 6. PROVIDE INFORMATION ON GROUNDCOVER OR GRASS AREAS TO |
| | JUSTIFY POINTS TAKEN ON THE FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE |
| | DESIGN OPTIONS CHART, AS THE SOD AREAS ARE NOT |
| | QUANTIFIED. |
| | |
| | 7. CLUSIA AS A TREE FORM AS SPECIFIED HAS NOT BEEN A |
| | SUCCESSFUL CONCEPT. FIND AN ALTERNATIVE TO MEET THE |
| | TREE REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 8. PROVIDE SCREENING FOR BACKFLOW VALVES AND SHOW |
| | LOCATIONS AND PROVIDE SCREENING FOR ANY A/C UNITS OR |
| | GROUND MOUNTED EQUIPMENT. |
| | |
| | 9. PROVIDE LOCATIONS OF LIGHTING ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN |
| | TO AVOID CONFLICTS WITH LANDSCAPING. |
| | LIGHTING ALONG THE STREETS ARE PLACED IN EVERY AREA |
| | WHERE LANDSCAPING COULD BE PLACED. LIGHTS NEED TO BE |
| | LOCATED AWAY FROM LANDSCAPED AREAS WHERE THEY WOULD |
| | CREATE CONFLICTS WITH ADDING TREES OR PALMS TO ENHANCE |
| | THE LANDSCAPE. |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | 2. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL BE |
| | RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERMITTING AND INSTALLATION OF THE |
| | RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION APPROVED WITH |
| | THIS PETITION. |
| | |
| | 3. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL BE |
| | RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE ROAD RIGHT OF |
| | WAY LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION AS PERMITTED AND |
| | INSTALLED. THIS WILL BE THROUGH A SEPARATE MAINTENANCE |
| | AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. |
