| | PROJECT: 2808 N AUSTRALIAN AVE Z20030013 |
| | APRIL 7, 2020 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO TREE |
| | DISPOSITION CHART: |
| | ? PROVIDE THE CANOPY DIAMETERS FOR THE LIVE OAK TREES |
| | #17 AND #19-23. IF THEY ARE LESS THAN 20 FEET DIAMETER |
| | DUE TO FPL PRUNING, THEN THEY WILL REQUIRE 300 SQ FT |
| | MITIGATION. IF THEY ARE 20 FEET OR MORE, CALCULATE THE |
| | ACTUAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AND ENTER INTO THE MITIGATION DUE |
| | COLUMN. |
| | ? QUEEN PALMS #24 AND 27 ARE CATEGORY 4 , REQUIRING 50 |
| | SQ FT MITIGATION. |
| | ? JATROPHAS ARE NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO REQUIRE MITIGATION. |
| | ENTER 0 IN THE COLUMN. |
| | ? TOTAL THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF MITIGATION DUE AND SHOW |
| | MITIGATION SQUARE FOOTAGE TOTAL PROVIDED FROM THE |
| | PROPOSED TREE LIST. |
| | |
| | 2. CORRECT THE CALCULATIONS FOR REQUIRED MINIMUM SHADE |
| | TREE AND FLOWERING TREE REQUIREMENTS PER SECTION |
| | 94-443(C)(2)B. BASED ON REQUIRED OPEN SPACE OF 40%. |
| | 25750 SQ FT REQUIRES 18 SHADE TREES AND 5 FLOWERING |
| | TREES. |
| | |
| | 3. CORRECT THE REFERENCE TO SUBSTITUTION OF PALMS FOR |
| | REQUIRED TREES. SECTION 94-442(D) NOW REQUIRES A 3:1 |
| | RATIO FOR SUBSTITUTION. PROVIDE THE NUMBER OF |
| | SUBSTITUTIONS PROPOSED. |
| | |
| | 4. 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. REMOVE LANGUAGE REFERRING TO |
| | ONE TREE PER 100 SQ FT., AS THIS WAS REMOVED FROM THE |
| | CODE IN 2018. SHOW THE PERCENTAGE OF CATEGORY 1 TREES |
| | PROVIDED FOR THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE AREAS AS REQUIRED |
| | BY SECTION 94-443(C)(3) FOR TERMINAL AND INTERIOR |
| | ISLANDS. THERE ARE 11 REQUIRED TREES. |
| | |
| | 5. PROVIDE A PLAN SHOWING THE PARKING LANDSCAPE AREAS |
| | COUNTED TOWARD COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 94-443(C)(3) AND |
| | (4) AND PROVIDE CALCULATIONS. PROVIDE THE TOTAL |
| | REQUIRED AND PROVIDED AS ONE TOTAL FOR BOTH SECTIONS. |
| | |
| | 6. STAFF SUGGESTS REDUCING THE PAVED AREAS FOR PARKING |
| | SPACES AND USING CURBS INSTEAD OF WHEEL STOPS TO ALLOW |
| | FOR PERVIOUS LANDSCAPE AREA AT THE OVERHANG. THIS ALSO |
| | ALLOWS MORE LANDSCAPE AREA FOR SUPPORTING THE ROOT |
| | ZONES OF THE TREES. |
| | |
| | 7. BUFFER LENGTHS REQUIRE ONE TREE PER 30 FEET OR |
| | PORTION THEREOF. EAST BUFFER REQUIRES 7 TREES, SOUTH |
| | BUFFER REQUIRES 11 TREES, NORTH BUFFER REQUIRES 12 |
| | TREES, WEST BUFFER REQUIRES 6 TREES. MAKE CORRECTIONS. |
| | |
| | 8. ADJUST TREE SIZES TO MINIMUM OF 12 FEET IN HEIGHT. |

| | FRIENDLY LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS PER SECTION 94-442(G) |
| | TO THE CURRENT CODE AND PROVIDE THE REQUIRED 50 POINTS. |
| | |
| | 11. THE DIVERSITY OF THE TREE SPECIES PROPOSED ARE VERY |
| | LIMITED AND ARE MOSTLY SMALLER SPECIES. STAFF SUGGESTS |
| | AT LEAST 2 SPECIES FOR THE TREES ON THE EAST AND SOUTH |
| | BUFFER UNDER THE FPL LINES, AND AT LEAST 2 SPECIES ON |
| | THE NORTH AND WEST BUFFERS, USING CATEGORY 1 SHADE |
| | TREES TO PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE PARKING AND PEDESTRIAN |
| | AREAS. GREEN BUTTONWOOD AND SEAGRAPE ARE POSSIBLE |
| | ADDITIONS. |
