| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: THE GRAND Z19110020 |
| | OCTOBER 22, 2020 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. MAKE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO THE TREE |
| | DISPOSITION PLAN: |
| | ? PARTIALLY 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. |
| | ? PARTIALLY SATISFIED. REVISE THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | OF MITIGATION FOR ALL TREES AND PALMS PROPOSED TO BE |
| | REMOVED AFTER MAKING CORRECTIONS. |
| | ? PARTIALLY 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. PARTIALLY 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. |
| | |
| | 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. NOT 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. 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. 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. ADD THE RELOCATED SABAL PALMS TO THE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | 13. 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. |
| | |
| | |
| | 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 |
| | SEPARATE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. |
