| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: THE GRAND Z19110020 |
| | APRIL 1, 2021 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. MAKE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO THE TREE |
| | DISPOSITION PLAN: |
| | ? SATISFIED. TREES AND PALMS CANOPY SQUARE FOOTAGE TO |
| | BE MITIGATED BASED ON CATEGORY. ANY TREES 20 FEET OR |
| | MORE CANOPY DIAMETER TO BE MITIGATED BY ACTUAL SQUARE |
| | FOOTAGE. 1:1 MITIGATION IS EQUAL TO THE CATEGORY VALUE. |
| | MANGO CATEGORY 1 EQUALS 300 SQ FT, SABAL PALM CATEGORY |
| | 3 EQUALS 100 SQ FT. |
| | THERE ARE MULTIPLE TREES THAT ARE 20 FEET OR MORE |
| | CANOPY DIAMETER THAT DO NOT SHOW THE ACTUAL SQUARE |
| | FOOTAGE OF CANOPY THAT MUST BE MITIGATED. #1, 2, 3, 13, |
| | 17, 30, 36, 38, 74, 77, 95, 108, 110. REVISE. |
| | #52 AND 64 FICUS NITIDA, #94 SAPODILLA ARE NOT LISTED |
| | AS PROHIBITED INVASIVE IN WPB CODE. MUST BE MITIGATED. |
| | ? SATISFIED. INCLUDE EXISTING STREET TREES TO BE |
| | REMOVED AND REPLACED ON ROSEMARY AVE. |
| | ? SATISFIED. REVISE THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF |
| | MITIGATION FOR ALL TREES AND PALMS PROPOSED TO BE |
| | REMOVED AFTER MAKING CORRECTIONS. |
| | ? SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE MITIGATION VALUES BY CATEGORY |
| | FOR THE PROPOSED TREES AND PALMS. |
| | SILVER BUTTONWOOD IS CATEGORY 2, FOR 150 SQ FT CREDIT. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. SECTION 94-448 (D)(3) REQUIRES NATIVE |
| | TREES IN GOOD CONDITION TO BE PRESERVED ON SITE OR |
| | RELOCATED. DESCRIBE THE METHODOLOGY USED TO DETERMINE |
| | CONDITION. ANSI A 300 (PART 5) STANDARDS SPECIFY |
| | EXAMPLES OF SUITABILITY RATINGS OF GOOD, MODERATE, OR |
| | POOR. THERE APPEAR TO BE SEVERAL SABAL PALMS THAT ARE |
| | IN GOOD CONDITION THAT CAN BE RELOCATED. |
| | |
| | 3. SATISFIED. THE STREETSCAPE CAN BE IMPROVED TO |
| | ACCOMPLISH THE INTENT OF THE CODE SECTION 94-113. THE |
| | PALMS MAY BE USED, BUT NOT AS COUNTING TOWARD THE TREE |
| | REQUIREMENT AT THE MAXIMUM 30 FOOT SPACING. ADD CANOPY |
| | TREES AS REQUIRED. TREE GRATES ARE NOT PREFERRED IF THE |
| | SIDEWALK MEETS THE MINIMUM 8 FOOT WIDTH REQUIREMENT, |
| | AND PLANTING AREAS SHALL BE USED INSTEAD. BANYAN |
| | STREETSCAPE NEEDS TO BE COORDINATED WITH THE CITY |
| | CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. |
| | |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. CALCULATIONS FOR NUMBER OF REQUIRED |
| | STREET TREES NEED TO BE PROVIDED. TOTAL LENGTH OF |
| | STREETSCAPE FROM ONE PROPERTY LINE TO THE OTHER END, |
| | DIVIDE BY 30, THEN INDICATE THE NUMBER OF TREES |
| | REQUIRED AND PROVIDED, ROUNDING UP FOR ANY PORTION |
| | LEFT. |
| | PROVIDE THE CALCULATIONS ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR EACH |
| | PROPERTY LINE LENGTH ADJACENT TO A STREET, THE REQUIRED |
| | NUMBER OF TREES AND THE NUMBER PROVIDED. PROVIDE THE |
| | PROPERTY LINE LENGTH FOR THE BUFFER REQUIREMENT ON THE |
| | WEST SIDE NOT ADJACENT TO A STREET AND PROVIDE THE |
| | NUMBER OF TREES REQUIRED AND PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | 5. REGULATIONS HAVE CHANGED INVALIDATING THIS COMMENT. |
| | REQUIRED OPEN SPACE TYPES AND SQUARE FOOTAGE CANNOT BE |
| | DETERMINED AT THIS TIME, AS THERE IS NOT ONE CONSISTENT |
| | ZONING DESIGNATION FOR ALL THE PARCELS INCLUDED IN THE |
| | PROPOSED PROJECT. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. FLORIDA FRIENDLY DESIGN OPTIONS POINTS |
| | CANNOT BE COUNTED MORE THAN ONCE IN EACH CATEGORY FOR |
| | THE SAME PLANTS. EXAMPLE: IF 51% TREES CLAIMED AS |
| | NATIVE, THE REMAINDER CAN ONLY BE COUNTED TOWARD |
| | DROUGHT TOLERANT FOR 25-50%. |
| | |
| | 7. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF UTILITY LINES |
| | ON LANDSCAPE PLAN, ALSO LOCATIONS OF VALVES AND |
| | BACKFLOW PREVENTERS AND FPL TRANSFORMERS. SCREENING |
| | MUST BE PROVIDED. |
| | ADJUST LOCATIONS ON LANDSCAPE PLANS TO MATCH CIVIL |
| | DRAWINGS. FDC IS SHOWN IN CONFLICT WITH THE SIDEWALK. |
| | GAS AND WATER MAIN ON 2ND ST ARE IN CONFLICT WITH THE |
| | STREET TREE LOCATIONS, PROVIDE INFORMATION ON HOW THIS |
| | WILL BE RESOLVED. |
| | MEETING FROM 12/14 REGARDING UTILITIES AND TREE |
| | CONFLICTS RESULTED IN SOME POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. SUBMIT |
| | REVISED PLANS. |
| | PLANS WERE NOT UPDATED. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF REQUIRED STRUCTURAL |
| | SOIL UNDER HARDSCAPE ADJACENT TO STREET TREES. PROVIDE |
| | A TYPICAL FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE STRUCTURAL SOIL |
| | AND A SEPARATE PLAN SHOWING THE LOCATIONS. AREA FOR |
| | STRUCTURAL SOIL AND PLANTING AREA SHOULD BE |
| | APPROXIMATELY 14 FEET IN LENGTH AND 9 FEET IN WIDTH |
| | RELATIVE TO THE BACK OF CURB. STRUCTURAL SOIL DETAIL IS |
| | TO SHOW THE CONSTRUCTION CROSS SECTION FOR DEPTH OF 36 |
| | INCHES, AND PLANTING SOIL IN THE PLANTING AREA. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | PROVIDE THE ACTUAL PERCENTAGE OF DROUGHT TOLERANT AND |
| | NATIVE SPECIES ADDED BASED ON THE PROPOSED PLANT LIST. |
| | 2418/4814 IS 50% AND DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENT. |
| | CHANGE SOME SPECIES TO NATIVE OR DROUGHT TOLERANT TO |
| | ACHIEVE THE MINIMUM 60%. GREEN ISLAND FICUS IS ACCEPTED |
| | AS LOW WATER USAGE. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 10/20/20: |
| | |
| | 10. SATISFIED. REMOVE GRAVEL FROM PLAN SHOWN ON WEST |
| | SIDE OF BUILDING. UNLESS IT IS GROUNDCOVER OR GRASS, |
| | PLANTING AREAS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE 3 INCHES OF |
| | COMPACTED ORGANIC, NON-CYPRESS MULCH PER SECTION |
| | 94-446(1)D. |
| | |
| | 11. SATISFIED. SHEET A0.3 NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THE |
| | PRIVATE OPEN SPACE TYPE AND PROVIDE THE CALCULATIONS |
| | FOR THE REQUIREMENTS AS FOUND IN SECTION 94-109 TABLE |
| | IV-7 FOR VEGETATED AREA AND TREE CANOPY PER TABLE IV-8. |
| | THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THE SAME |
| | INFORMATION. |
| | |
| | 12. SATISFIED. ADD THE RELOCATED SABAL PALMS TO THE |
| | PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | 13. SATISFIED. STREET TREE SIZE REQUIREMENT IS 20 FEET |
| | HEIGHT, FLORIDA GRADE #1 OR BETTER PER SECTION 94-113. |
| | MAGNOLIA WILL NOT WORK TO MEET THE CANOPY REQUIREMENT |
| | FOR REQUIRED STREET TREE. THE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE LIVE |
| | OAKS CLOSER TO THE BUILDING AND GUMBO LIMBO IN THE |
| | STREET BULB OUTS IS ACCEPTABLE. THE CONCERN IS THAT THE |
| | GUMBO LIMBOS WILL TAKE SOME PRUNING MAINTENANCE TO MAKE |
| | SURE THE BRANCHES DEVELOP ABOVE THE 14 FOOT CLEARANCE |
| | NEEDED FOR THE TRAVEL LANE AND 8 FOOT CLEARANCE NEEDED |
| | FOR THE SIDEWALK. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 12/14/20: |
| | |
| | |
| | 14. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. WEST BUFFER TREES CANNOT COUNT |
| | OFFSITE EXISTING TREES. SEE COMMENT #15. CALCULATIONS |
| | FOR THE ENTIRE BUFFER LENGTH NEED TO BE USED TO |
| | DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF REQUIRED TREES. 12 PALMS |
| | PROVIDED EQUAL 4 TREES, THE 2 MAHOGANY TREES MAY BE |
| | COUNTED, SO CURRENTLY 6 TREES ARE PROVIDED. PROVIDE THE |
| | CALCULATION AND ADD TREES OR PALMS AS NEEDED. |
| | TOTAL PER THE SURVEY IS 70? + 57.5? +127.5 = 255 FEET. |
| | 9 TREES ARE NEEDED. |
| | |
| | 15. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. OFFSITE TREES #15 AND #17 NEED |
| | TO BE EVALUATED BY A CERTIFIED ARBORIST FOR THE |
| | REDUCTION IN CANOPY AND ROOT SYSTEM THAT WILL BE |
| | REQUIRED TO CONSTRUCT THE BUILDING TO ASSURE THEY WILL |
| | NOT DESTABILIZE OR CAUSE DECLINE IN THE TREES. THE |
| | OWNERSHIP OF THE TREES ALSO NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED |
| | RELATIVE TO THE PROPERTY LINE. |
| | |
| | ARBORIST REPORT WAS NOT SUBMITTED WITH THE 3/22/21 |
| | RESUBMITTAL. THIS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED PRIOR TO |
| | ISSUING THE TREE ALTERATION PERMIT FOR MITIGATION |
| | PURPOSES AND TO ADD REQUIRED TREES TO THE BUFFER. |
| | |
| | 16. SATISFIED. STREET TREE REQUIREMENTS APPLY FOR THE N |
| | SAPODILLA PROPERTY LINE LENGTH FOR 2 STREET TREES, BUT |
| | THEY NEED TO BE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY. |
| | |
| | 17. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. THERE IS TREE CANOPY |
| | MITIGATION DUE OF 8072 SQ FT. INDICATE IF THIS WILL BE |
| | ADDRESSED THROUGH PAYMENT IN LIEU OF $13453.00. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL MITIGATION WILL BE REQUIRED IF #15 AND #17 |
| | ARE REMOVED. MITIGATION WILL BE PROVIDED WITH |
| | ADDITIONAL TREES PER COMMENT #14. |
| | NOTE THAT THE 3/22/21 SUBMITTAL CONTAINED THE SAME |
| | LANDSCAPE AND TREE MITIGATION PLANS FROM 12/23/20. |
| | PLEASE SUBMIT UPDATED PLANS. |
| | |
| | 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 |
| | STREET TREES AND 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. THIS WILL BE THROUGH A |
