| | PROJECT: 1225 PALM BEACH LAKES Z20030016 |
| | APRIL 8, 2020 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO TREE |
| | DISPOSITION CHART: |
| | ? PROVIDE REASON WHY MAHOGANY #15 IN GOOD CONDITION |
| | CANNOT BE RELOCATED. |
| | ? CORRECT NOTE AT BOTTOM OF DISPOSITION CHART TO REMOVE |
| | WAWA. |
| | ? CORRECT SHEET L-01 TO IDENTIFY REMOVALS WITH AN X AND |
| | RELOCATES WITH AN R SO THEY ARE CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE. |
| | ? REVISE THE PROVIDED MITIGATION AFTER THE PLAN IS |
| | REVISED FOR THE COMMENTS BELOW. |
| | |
| | |
| | 2. PROVIDE THE REQUIRED TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND WITH |
| | 8 FEET LANDSCAPE WIDTH AT THE END OF EACH ROW OF |
| | PARKING ALONG THE WEST BUFFER. THE 5 FEET OF REQUIRED |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER CAN BE A PART OF THE TERMINAL ISLAND, |
| | BUT THE 8 FEET INSIDE CURB MUST BE PROVIDED. THE |
| | REQUIRED TREE MUST BE PROVIDED IN ADDITION TO THE |
| | BUFFER TREE REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 3. PROVIDE THE REQUIRED TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND AND |
| | REQUIRED TREE AT THE NORTH END OF THE ROW OF PARKING ON |
| | THE WEST SIDE OF BUILDING C. |
| | |
| | 4. SHOW THAT THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF LANDSCAPE AREA |
| | ADJACENT TO THE PARKING SPACE IS AT LEAST 140 SQ FT FOR |
| | THE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS THAT HAVE A MODIFIED RADIUS. |
| | |
| | 5. PROVIDE THE REQUIRED WEST LANDSCAPE BUFFER AT THIS |
| | TIME IF THE PROPOSED CROSS ACCESS LANE IS NOT GOING TO |
| | BE CONSTRUCTED WITH THE SITE. IF IT IS TO BE A LATER |
| | DATE, PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE PLAN FOR THE AREA FOR WHEN |
| | THE ACCESS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED. |
| | |
| | |
| | 6. 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. 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 17 REQUIRED ISLANDS AND |
| | TREES, MEANING 13 MUST BE CATEGORY 1. |
| | |
| | |
| | 7. THE PARKING SPACES APPEAR TO BE 18 FEET IN LENGTH |
| | WITH A CURB AND OVERHANG INTO LANDSCAPE AREAS. STAFF |
| | SUGGESTS REDUCING THE PAVED AREAS FOR PARKING SPACES |
| | AND PLACING THE CURBS AT 16 FEET TO ALLOW FOR |
| | ADDITIONAL PERVIOUS LANDSCAPE AREA AT THE OVERHANG. |
| | THIS ALSO ALLOWS MORE LANDSCAPE AREA FOR SUPPORTING THE |
| | ROOT ZONES OF THE TREES. |
| | |
| | 8. LANDSCAPE BUFFERS: |
| | |
| | ? WEST BUFFER REQUIRES 8 TREES, IF ALEXANDER PALMS ARE |
| | TRIPLE TRUNK, THEY CAN COUNT FOR 1 TREE EACH. IF TREE |
| | #27 IS COUNTED TOWARD NORTH BUFFER REQUIREMENT, THEN |
| | THE PLAN ONLY PROVIDES 5 BUFFER TREES. |
| | ? SOUTH BUFFER LENGTH REQUIRES 11 TREES, AND PROVIDES |
| | 11 TREES. |
| | ? NORTH BUFFER REQUIRES 11 TREES, 11 TREES PROVIDED IF |
| | #27 IS COUNTED. |
| | ? EAST BUFFER REQUIRES 8 TREES. FOR THE VARIANCE, THE |
| | NARRATIVE STATES THERE ARE 8 ADDITIONAL TREES PROVIDED |
| | ON SITE TO COMPENSATE. THESE MUST BE IDENTIFIED IN SOME |
| | WAY ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 9. THE PROPOSED PLAN COUNTS EXISTING TREES IN THE |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER REQUIREMENTS. THESE TREES ARE IN |
| | LOCATIONS WHERE CONSTRUCTION OF PAVEMENT, CURBS AND |
| | UTILITIES WILL BE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. INSTRUCTIONS NEED |
| | TO BE INCLUDED ON HOW THE CONTRACTOR IS TO HAVE A |
| | QUALIFIED CERTIFIED ARBORIST AVAILABLE AS NEEDED TO |
| | ASSURE THE TREE ROOT SYSTEMS ARE PROTECTED AND NOT |
| | DAMAGED. |
| | |
| | 10. PROVIDE A DETAIL AND LOCATIONS OF ROOT BARRIERS TO |
| | SEPARATE LANDSCAPING FROM UTILITY LINES. |
| | |
| | 11. SHOW THE LOCATIONS OF ALL SITE LIGHTING ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN AND REDESIGN THE LOCATIONS OF THE |
| | LIGHTING ON SHORTER POLES TO RESOLVE ANY CONFLICTS WITH |
| | TREES IN THE PARKING AREA LANDSCAPE ISLANDS. |
| | |
| | 12. PER SECTION 94-452 ROADWAY BEAUTIFICATION, PROVIDE |
| | A PLAN FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ROYAL PALMS IN THE |
| | RIGHT OF WAY, AND PROVIDE A SEPARATE SECTION ON THE |
| | PLANT LIST FOR THEM. PALM BEACH LAKES BOULEVARD IS PB |
| | COUNTY RIGHT OF WAY, AND THE CITY HAS A LANDSCAPE |
| | MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY. IRRIGATION MAY |
| | NOT BE WORKING IN THE RIGHT OF WAY, SO IRRIGATION |
| | SHOULD BE PROVIDED FROM THE SITE. A MAINTENANCE |
| | AGREEMENT SHOULD BE WORKED OUT, AS THE LANDSCAPE |
| | MAINTENANCE PROVIDED BY THE CITY MAY NOT BE ADEQUATE TO |
| | ENHANCE THE PROJECT. |
| | |
| | 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. |
