| | PROJECT: CLARE CPD Z18110022 |
| | FEBRUARY 8, 2019 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. CONDITIONALLY SATISFIED. 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. |
| | STAFF IS STILL UNCLEAR AS TO WHAT SUPERIOR DESIGN |
| | ELEMENTS ARE BEING PROVIDED AS JUSTIFICATION FOR THE |
| | WAIVERS TO REDUCE REQUIRED TREE QUANTITIES FROM WHAT |
| | WAS APPROVED ON THE ORIGINAL PD. PLEASE SUBMIT A CLEAR |
| | JUSTIFICATION AS TO HOW THE PROPOSED LANDSCAPE PLAN |
| | ACCOMPLISHES THIS. OTHER PROJECTS HAVE PROVIDED PAYMENT |
| | IN LIEU FOR THE TREE CANOPY DEFICIENCY TO PROVIDE THE |
| | TREE CANOPY ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AS A PUBLIC BENEFIT. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. SHOW ALL AREAS OF ROADWAY BEAUTIFICATION |
| | LANDSCAPE ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SO THAT THE FULL EFFECT |
| | OF SEAMLESS DESIGN CAN BE CLEAR. |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. CORRECT THE FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE |
| | DESIGN CHART TO THE CURRENT CODE AND PROVIDE THE |
| | REQUIRED 50 POINTS. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. CLUSIA AS A TREE FORM AS SPECIFIED HAS |
| | NOT BEEN A SUCCESSFUL CONCEPT. FIND AN ALTERNATIVE TO |
| | MEET THE TREE REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PROVIDE SCREENING FOR BACKFLOW VALVES AND |
| | SHOW LOCATIONS AND PROVIDE SCREENING FOR ANY A/C UNITS |
| | OR GROUND MOUNTED EQUIPMENT. |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. 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. |
| | |
| | 4. PRIOR TO SCHEDULING FOR CITY COMMISSION, THE |
| | APPLICANT SHALL REVISE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN TO INCREASE |
| | THE TREE CANOPY AREA WITHIN THE LARGE DOG PARK BY |
| | ADDING TREES AT THE WEST SIDE, AND INCREASE THE TREE |
| | CANOPY COVERAGE AT THE NORTHEAST PLAZA EITHER THROUGH |
| | ADDITION OF TREES OR CHANGING SPECIES TO LARGER CANOPY |
| | TREES. |
