| | PROJECT: SHOPS AT THE PRESS Z19090006 |
| | OCTOBER 7, 2019 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. IDENTIFY THE TREES WITHIN THE AFFECTED AREA ON THE |
| | TREE DISPOSITION TABULAR LIST TO DISCERN THEM FROM THE |
| | REST OF THE AREAS. |
| | |
| | 2. SECTION 94-448 (D)(3) REQUIRES NATIVE TREES IN GOOD |
| | CONDITION TO BE PRESERVED ON SITE OR RELOCATED. LIVE |
| | OAK TREES #529 AND #530 ARE STILL LISTED AS GOOD |
| | CONDITION, SO MUST BE RELOCATED. LIVE OAK TREES #567 |
| | AND #568 ARE ALSO LISTED IN GOOD CONDITION. IF THEY |
| | CANNOT BE RELOCATED FOR ANY REASON, OR THE CONDITION |
| | HAS CHANGED, INDICATE THIS ON THE CHART. |
| | |
| | 3. STAFF DOES NOT SUPPORT REMOVAL OF THE MATURE BUFFER |
| | TREES ALONG THE NORTH PROPERTY LINE THAT ARE PROVIDING |
| | SHADE FOR THE EXISTING SIDEWALK AND PROVIDE ALL THE |
| | BENEFITS OF A MATURE TREE CANOPY. THE APPLICANT SHOULD |
| | LOOK AT PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND ADJUST THE PROPOSED |
| | NORTH CURB LINE TO FIT THE EXISTING CURB LINE IN ORDER |
| | TO PRESERVE THE EXISTING TREES AND MEET THE INTENT OF |
| | SECTION 94-448. |
| | |
| | 4. THE SITE DATA DOES NOT SHOW THE LANDSCAPE AREA FOR |
| | THE SITE WITH THE PROPOSED CHANGES. THIS WAS BELOW THE |
| | REQUIRED 15% ON THE PREVIOUS APPLICATION AND MUST BE |
| | CORRECTED TO MEET THE CODE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 5. PROPOSED LOCATIONS OF FPL TRANSFORMERS MUST BE SHOWN |
| | ON THE SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 6. WATER BACKFLOW AND FIRE VALVES ARE PROPOSED IN THE |
| | SOUTHEAST TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND ON THE ENGINEERING |
| | PLANS. REQUIRED TREES MUST BE INSTALLED IN TERMINAL |
| | ISLANDS, SO UTILITIES CANNOT BE LOCATED IN POSITIONS |
| | THAT WOULD DISPLACE REQUIRED TREES. THE TERMINAL ISLAND |
| | IS BEING AFFECTED BY UTILITIES AND IS WITHIN THE |
| | AFFECTED AREA, SO MUST MEET CURRENT CODE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | THE EXISTING TRIANGLE PALMS SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH THE |
| | REQUIRED TREE, AND THE WATER LINE PLACED TO AVOID THE |
| | TREES IN THE LANDSCAPE AREAS. |
| | |
| | 7. SECTION 94-443(C)(3) REQUIRES THAT A MINIMUM OF 75 |
| | PERCENT OF ALL TREES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO BE PLANTED |
| | WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF AN OFF STREET PARKING AREA SHALL |
| | BE CATEGORY 1 SHADE TREES. AS PROPOSED, THE AFFECTED |
| | AREA DOES NOT MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. SUGGESTIONS |
| | INCLUDE TO REMOVE THE PHOENIX CANARIENSIS AND REPLACE |
| | WITH A CATEGORY 1 SHADE TREE. |
| | 8. THE LANDSCAPE INTERIOR ISLAND ON THE EAST SIDE OF |
| | BUILDING 2 DOES NOT MEET THE MINIMUM LANDSCAPE WIDTH OF |
| | 8 FEET WITHIN THE CURB. |
| | |
| | 9. SHOW LOCATIONS OF ANY ROOT BARRIERS REQUIRED TO |
| | PROTECT UTILITY LINES. |
| | |
| | 10. THE EXHIBIT SHOWING THE PARKING AREA SURFACE |
| | CALCULATIONS, PARKING SPACE AREAS AND LANDSCAPE AREAS |
| | PROVIDED TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH SECTIONS 94-443 |
| | (C)(3) AND (4) INCLUDES AREAS THAT CROSS THE AFFECTED |
| | AREA LINE |
| | |
| | 11. SHOW ALL REQUIRED CURBS ADJACENT TO LANDSCAPE AREAS |
| | PER SECTION 94-443 (C)(5). |
| | |
| | 12. STAFF SUGGEST AN ADDITIONAL SPECIES BE USED FOR THE |
| | WEST BUFFER AS THE GEIGER TREES ARE NOT THE BEST |
| | PERFORMING SPECIES FOR THIS AREA AND LOOK BAD FOR A |
| | MAJOR PORTION OF THE YEAR. |
| | |
| | |
| | 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. |
