| 2020-01-31 14:02:18 | FROM: RAY CARANCI, LANDSCAPE PLANNER 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: SHOPS AT THE PRESS Z19090006 |
| | JANUARY 31, 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. SATISFIED. THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE AREA BEHIND |
| | BUILDING 1 REQUIRES TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLANDS ADJACENT |
| | TO THE ADA SPACES. |
| | |
| | 15. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. |
