| | PROJECT: SHOPS AT THE PRESS Z19090006 |
| | JANUARY 13, 2020 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. SATISFIED. IDENTIFY THE TREES WITHIN THE AFFECTED |
| | AREA ON THE TREE DISPOSITION TABULAR LIST TO DISCERN |
| | THEM FROM THE REST OF THE AREAS. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. PROPOSED LOCATIONS OF FPL TRANSFORMERS |
| | MUST BE SHOWN ON THE SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 6. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. 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. |
| | THE PRESENCE OF THE UTILITIES WITH ROOT BARRIERS |
| | SEPARATING THE TREE FROM LARGE AREAS OF THE LANDSCAPE |
| | ISLAND DOES NOT MEET THE INTENT OF THE CODE TO PROVIDE |
| | THE ROOT ZONE NEEDED TO SUPPORT A CANOPY TREE. |
| | |
| | 7. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. 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. |
| | CLUSIA IS A CATEGORY 1 TREE BUT DOES NOT WORK FOR |
| | CLEARANCES IN THE PARKING AREA AS PLACED. SELECT OTHER |
| | SPECIES THAT WILL PROVIDE THE TREE CANOPY. ALSO SEE |
| | COMMENT #6. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. 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. NOT SATISFIED. FLORIDA FRIENDLY DESIGN OPTIONS CHART |
| | NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO CURRENT CODE AND POINTS |
| | RECALCULATED. |
| | CHECK ALL ITEMS ON CHART AGAINST CURRENT CODE |
| | 94-442(G). |
| | |
| | 10. SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF ANY ROOT BARRIERS |
| | REQUIRED TO PROTECT UTILITY LINES. |
| | |
| | 11. SATISFIED. 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 |
| | |
| | 12. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. SHOW ALL REQUIRED CURBS |
| | ADJACENT TO LANDSCAPE AREAS PER SECTION 94-443 (C)(5). |
| | THE AREA ADJACENT TO THE DUMPSTER DOES NOT HAVE A CURB |
| | FOR PROTECTION. THERE IS ALREADY A CONFLICT WITH THE |
| | EXISTING TREE ROOT SYSTEM AND THE PAVED AREA. |
| | |
| | 13. SATISFIED. 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. |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1/13/20: |
| | 14. THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE AREA BEHIND BUILDING 1 |
| | REQUIRES TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLANDS ADJACENT TO THE ADA |
| | SPACES. |
| | |
| | 15. TREE #549 IS NOT SHOWN ON THE TREE DISPOSITION PLAN |
| | AS BEING REMOVED BUT FALLS WITHIN AN AREA PROPOSED TO |
| | BE PAVED ON THE SITE PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 16. THE TREE DISPOSITION SUMMARY SHALL BE EDITED TO |
| | SHOW THE TREES AND CANOPY REMOVED AND TO BE REPLACED |
| | WITH THE MINOR AMENDMENT AND ALREADY PERMITTED AS |
| | SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE SITE. THE SUMMARY SHOULD |
| | SHOW SEPARATED INTO 2 PHASES. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | 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. |
