| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: 501 S DIXIE HOTEL Z19100014 |
| | MARCH 22, 2021 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. SATISFIED. THE STREETSCAPE CAN BE IMPROVED TO |
| | ACCOMPLISH THE INTENT OF THE CODE SECTION 94-113. THE |
| | DATE PALMS MAY BE USED, BUT NOT AS COUNTING TOWARD THE |
| | TREE REQUIREMENT AT THE MAXIMUM 30 FOOT SPACING. ADD |
| | CANOPY TREES AS REQUIRED. |
| | TREES ALONG GARDENIA MUST BE SPACED AT A MAXIMUM OF 30 |
| | FEET TO PROVIDE CANOPY COVERAGE TO THE SIDEWALK. CAN BE |
| | PLACED WITHIN SIGHT TRIANGLE AS THEY WILL HAVE 8 FOOT |
| | CLEARANCE FROM THE GROUND TO FIRST BRANCHES. TREE |
| | CANOPY MUST BE PROVIDED AT ENTRANCE/EXIT. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. CHANGE HIGHRISE OAK TO A CANOPY TREE TO |
| | PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE PLAZA AREA. |
| | |
| | 3. SATISFIED. FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE DESIGN POINTS |
| | CANNOT BE COUNTED FOR 51% OR MORE IN THE SAME CATEGORY. |
| | REVISE. |
| | COLUMN FOR POINTS DOES NOT LINE UP WITH CATEGORY. |
| | REVISE. |
| | |
| | 4. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. SECTION 94-448 (D)(3) REQUIRES |
| | NATIVE TREES IN GOOD CONDITION TO BE PRESERVED ON SITE |
| | OR RELOCATED. SUBMIT THE REASON EXISTING LIVE OAK TREES |
| | #38, 39 AND 40 CANNOT BE RELOCATED OR USED IN THE |
| | PROPOSED LANDSCAPE. |
| | PROVIDE EVALUATION IN WRITING FROM A TREE RELOCATION |
| | CERTIFIED ARBORIST TO DOCUMENT REASONS THE TREES CANNOT |
| | BE RELOCATED. |
| | SUPPLY A RESPONSE ON THESE TREES. STAFF WILL WORK WITH |
| | THE APPLICANT TO DETERMINE LOCATIONS FOR LIKELY |
| | TRANSPLANTS. |
| | TREES THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE REMOVED OR HAVE ALREADY |
| | BEEN REMOVED NEED TO HAVE THE MITIGATION SHOWN. |
| | LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT SHOULD CONTACT REVIEWER TO CLARIFY. |
| | |
| | 5. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. QGD-10 REQUIRES 25 PERCENT |
| | PRIVATE OPEN SPACE FOR LOT SIZE UNDER 50,000 SQ FT. |
| | PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AREAS MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND BROKEN |
| | DOWN TO SHOW THE REQUIRED VEGETATED AREA AND ANY TREE |
| | CANOPY REQUIREMENT FOR EACH AREA AS THE ALLOWED OPEN |
| | SPACE TYPE. TREE CANOPY VALUES CAN BE FOUND IN SECTION |
| | 94-109 TABLE IV-8. |
| | TERRACE IS A PERMITTED PRIVATE OPEN SPACE TYPE PER |
| | TABLE IV-6. |
| | SEPARATE THE 5TH FLOOR PARKING STRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS |
| | CALCULATIONS FROM THE REQUIRED OPEN SPACE CALCULATIONS, |
| | AS THEY ARE SEPARATE CODE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | PER SECTION 94-109, THE UPPER LEVEL PRIVATE OPEN SPACE |
| | MEETS THE PURPOSE AND DEFINITION OF ROOFTOP GARDEN. |
| | STAFF SUGGESTS ADDING THE MINIMAL AMOUNT OF TREE CANOPY |
| | REQUIRED TO IMPROVE THE SPACE. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF UTILITY LINES ON |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN, ALSO LOCATIONS OF FDC, VALVES AND |
| | BACKFLOW PREVENTERS AND FPL TRANSFORMERS. INDICATE HOW |
| | THE OVERHEAD LINES IN THE ADJACENT ALLEY WILL BE |
| | ACCOMMODATED. |
| | |
| | 7. SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF ANY ROOT BARRIERS |
| | REQUIRED TO PROTECT UTILITY LINES. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF REQUIRED STRUCTURAL |
| | SOIL UNDER HARDSCAPE ADJACENT TO TREES. PROVIDE A |
| | TYPICAL FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE STRUCTURAL SOIL. |
| | ADJUST THE TYPICAL DETAIL TO LOCAL CONDITIONS. REMOVE |
| | THE DRAIN LINE AND ONLY SHOW 36 INCH DEPTH UNDER THE |
| | ADJACENT HARDSCAPE, NOT UNDER THE TREE ROOT BALL. ANY |
| | AREAS THAT ARE PLANTING AREAS NEED TO SHOW PLANTING |
| | SOIL MIX. THE ROOT BALL FOR 20 FT TREES WILL BE AT |
| | LEAST 36 INCHES IN DEPTH. |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 94-445 L. |
| | PLANT SPECIES. A MINIMUM OF 60 PERCENT OF PLANT |
| | MATERIAL ADDED SHALL BE FLORIDA NATIVE OR DROUGHT |
| | TOLERANT SPECIES SELECTED FROM THE CITY LIST OR THE |
| | LIST OF SPECIES IN THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF SOUTH |
| | FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WATERWISE SOUTH |
| | FLORIDA LANDSCAPES. |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 5/5/20: |
| | 10. SATISFIED. REVISE THE EXISTING TREE DISPOSITION |
| | LIST TO SHOW THE ACTUAL CANOPY DIAMETER FOR TREES #38, |
| | 39, 40 AND 62 INSTEAD OF SHOWING >20 DIA. THEN SHOW |
| | CALCULATED MITIGATION SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THAT TREE. |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 3/18/21: |
| | 11. MEDJOOL DATE PALMS MUST HAVE AT LEAST 14 FOOT CLEAR |
| | TRUNK SO THAT FRONDS ARE ABOVE 13.5 FEET CLEARANCE FOR |
| | TRAFFIC LANE. |
| | |
| | 12. ROOT BARRIERS AT THE PROPOSED PLACEMENT WOULD BLOCK |
| | TREE ROOT DEVELOPMENT IN THE PLANTING STRIPS. LINE |
| | LOCATIONS WILL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT WITH UTILITIES TO |
| | AVOID THIS. |
| | |
| | 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. |
