| | PROJECT: CITYPLACE VALET AND STREETSCAPE Z20010034 |
| | MAY 19, 2020 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. SATISFIED. SHOW THE CHANGE IN SQUARE FOOTAGE OF |
| | LANDSCAPE AREA FOR THE AFFECTED AREA. |
| | |
| | 2. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. ROYAL PALMS IN GOOD CONDITION |
| | MUST BE RELOCATED, NOT DESTROYED PER SECTION |
| | 94-448(D)(3). |
| | IF MATCHING THE NEW VALET SECTION, ADDING ROYAL PALMS |
| | ALONG THE BACK OF THE SIDEWALK TO MAKE TWO ROWS IS |
| | SUGGESTED. |
| | IF THEY CANNOT BE RELOCATED WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT, THE |
| | CITY HAS LOCATIONS ON PALM BEACH LAKES BOULEVARD TO |
| | REPLACE MISSING PALMS. |
| | THE 6 ROYAL PALMS CAN BE USED IN THE NEW DESIGN. THE |
| | PROPOSED LIGHT POLES CAN BE REPOSITIONED, AND MORE |
| | PALMS CAN BE ADDED BETWEEN POLES. STAFF DOES NOT |
| | SUPPORT THE REDUCTION IN SHADE FOR THE SIDEWALK. IF THE |
| | TWO ROWS OF ROYAL PALMS CANNOT BE PLACED TO CREATE |
| | SHADE, SHADE TREES AS REQUIRED IN SECTION 94-113 WILL |
| | BE REQUIRED AT MAXIMUM 30 FOOT SPACING. |
| | CHANGE THE GRAPHIC ON SHEET L1.01 TO SHOW THE ROYAL |
| | PALMS #35- 40 AS RELOCATED, NOT REMOVED. |
| | 3. SATISFIED. THE LOCATIONS OF HOLLIES PROPOSED SHOULD |
| | BE CHECKED FOR SIGHT LINES FOR TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS. |
| | THERE SHOULD BE CLEAR VIEWING BETWEEN 3 FEET AND 7 FEET |
| | ABOVE THE GROUND. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN OTHER AREAS |
| | ALREADY. |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF ANY ROOT BARRIERS |
| | REQUIRED TO PROTECT UTILITY LINES. |
| | |
| | 5. SATISFIED. SHOW WHERE THE LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH WATER |
| | USE ZONES ARE LOCATE FOR THE POINTS TAKEN IN THE |
| | FLORIDA FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 6. 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. |
| | PROVIDE ONE PERCENTAGE. |
| | |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 3/17/20: |
| | 7. TRANSFERRED TO ZONING COMMENTS. SHOW FDOT SIGHTLINES |
| | CLEARLY AND LABEL THEM ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN TO |
| | SUBSTANTIATE ANY DESIGN CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUSLY |
| | APPROVED STREETSCAPE SECTIONS ALREADY INSTALLED. |
| | THE SIGHTLINES ARE NOT LABELED AND THE LINE ON SHEET |
| | L2.02 DOES NOT SHOW AN ORIGINATION POINT. IF FROM |
| | ROSEMARY STOP BAR, THE REST OF THE SIGHTLINE NEEDS TO |
| | BE PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PENNISETUM SETACEUM ?ALBA? IS MISSING |
| | REFERENCE FOR NATIVE AND DROUGHT TOLERANT COLUMNS ON |
| | THE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENT 5/19/20: |
| | |
| | 9. SUBMITTED DESIGN FOR THE EASTERN AND WESTERN |
| | SECTIONS DOES NOT MEET THE STREETSCAPE CODE OR THE |
| | OVERALL INTENT OF THE LANDSCAPE CODE REGARDING TREE |
| | CANOPY. THE INTENT OF THE CODE IS TO PRESERVE OR EXPAND |
| | THE AMOUNT OF CANOPY INCLUDING FROM THE ROYAL PALMS, SO |
| | THE CANOPY COVERAGE MUST BE EQUAL OR GREATER THAN |
| | PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AND INSTALLED. |
| | ? WESTERN SECTION. SHEET L-100 SHOWS 11 PALMS EXISTING, |
| | 5 ALONG THE SIDEWALK PROVIDING SHADE, AND 6 INTERIOR TO |
| | THE AREA. SHEET L-2.00 NEEDS TO SHOW AT LEAST 11 PALMS |
| | TOTAL INCLUDING AT LEAST 5 ALONG THE SIDEWALK. THE |
| | OVERALL CANOPY PROPOSED NEEDS TO BE EQUAL OR GREATER |
| | THAN THE EXISTING AND SHADE TREES MAY BE ADDED. |
| | ? CENTER SECTION. SHEET L-1.01 SHOWS 18 PALMS EXISTING, |
| | 6 ALONG THE SIDEWALK PROVIDING SHADE, AND 12 INTERIOR |
| | TO THE AREA. SHEET L-2.01 SHOWS 17 PALMS AND 6 SHADE |
| | TREES TOTAL INCLUDING 9 PALMS ALONG THE SIDEWALK. THIS |
| | IS ACCEPTABLE, AS THE SHADE FOR THE SIDEWALK IS |
| | INCREASED, AND THE OVERALL CANOPY COVERAGE IS |
| | INCREASED. |
| | ? EASTERN SECTION. SHEET L-1.02 SHOWS 12 PALMS |
| | EXISTING, 5 ALONG THE SIDEWALK PROVIDING SHADE, AND 7 |
| | INTERIOR TO THE AREA. SHEET L-2.02 NEEDS TO SHOW AT |
| | LEAST 12 PALMS TOTAL INCLUDING ONES ALONG THE |
| | RECONFIGURED SIDEWALK. THE OVERALL CANOPY PROPOSED |
| | NEEDS TO BE EQUAL OR GREATER THAN THE EXISTING AND |
| | SHADE TREES MAY BE ADDED. |
| | |
| | 10. LIGHT POLES AND PALMS CAN BE CLOSER THAN SHOWN. |
| | NOTE ON PLAN INDICATES 15 FOOT SPACING BETWEEN LIGHT |
| | POLES AND PALM TRUNKS, AND 15 FOOT DIAMETER IS SHOWN |
| | AROUND EACH LIGHT POLE, REPRESENTING A POSSIBLE 7.5 |
| | FOOT SPACING BETWEEN LIGHT POLE AND PALM TRUNK. POLES |
| | AND PALMS CAN ALSO BE OFFSET SO LIGHTING IS NOT BLOCKED |
| | BY TRUNK OF PALM. |
| | 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. |
