| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO TREE |
| | DISPOSITION CHART: |
| | ? SATISFIED. 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. |
| | PROVIDE THE CANOPY DIAMETER FOR EACH TREE ON THE CHART. |
| | #17 CHANGED TO BLACK OLIVE SPECIES. |
| | ? SATISFIED. QUEEN PALMS #24 AND 27 ARE CATEGORY 4 , |
| | REQUIRING 50 SQ FT MITIGATION. |

| | MITIGATION. ENTER 0 IN THE COLUMN. |

| | AND SHOW MITIGATION SQUARE FOOTAGE TOTAL PROVIDED FROM |
| | THE PROPOSED TREE LIST. |
| | RECALCULATE AFTER ANY ADJUSTMENTS FOR ABOVE. |

| | MINIMUM SHADE TREE AND FLOWERING TREE REQUIREMENTS PER |
| | SECTION 94-443(C)(2)B. BASED ON REQUIRED OPEN SPACE OF |

| | FLOWERING TREES. |

| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. SECTION 94-443(C)(3) REQUIRES THAT A |
| | MINIMUM OF 75 PERCENT OF ALL TREES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO |

| | SUPPORTING THE ROOT ZONES OF THE TREES. |
| | |
| | 7. SATISFIED. BUFFER LENGTHS REQUIRE ONE TREE PER 30 |
| | FEET OR PORTION THEREOF. EAST BUFFER REQUIRES 7 TREES, |
