| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: 1225 PALM BEACH LAKES Z20030016 |
| | FEBRUARY 9, 2021 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO TREE |
| | DISPOSITION CHART: |
| | ? SATISFIED. PROVIDE REASON WHY MAHOGANY #15 IN GOOD |
| | CONDITION CANNOT BE RELOCATED. |
| | ? SATISFIED. CORRECT NOTE AT BOTTOM OF DISPOSITION |
| | CHART TO REMOVE WAWA. |
| | ? SATISFIED. CORRECT SHEET L-01 TO IDENTIFY REMOVALS |
| | WITH AN X AND RELOCATES WITH AN R SO THEY ARE CLEARLY |
| | IDENTIFIABLE. |
| | ? SATISFIED. REVISE THE PROVIDED MITIGATION AFTER THE |
| | PLAN IS REVISED FOR THE COMMENTS BELOW. |
| | |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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: |
| | |
| | ? PARTIALLY SATISFIED. 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. |
| | OFFSITE TREES #17-23 CANNOT BE COUNTED TOWARD ONSITE |
| | BUFFER REQUIREMENTS. 3 TRIPLE ALEXANDER PALMS COUNT AS |
| | 3 TREES. NEED 5 MORE QUALIFYING TREES. |
| | |
| | 2/9/21 THERE ARE NO CREDITS FOR INCREASED TREE SIZES IN |
| | THE WPB CODE. MUST PROVIDE 8 QUALIFYING TREES. 4 TRIPLE |
| | PALMS AND 2 CLUSIA ARE PROVIDED, SO NEED TREES OR PALMS |
| | FOR 2 MORE TREES. |
| | ? SATISFIED. SOUTH BUFFER LENGTH REQUIRES 11 TREES, AND |
| | PROVIDES 11 TREES. |
| | ? SATISFIED. NORTH BUFFER REQUIRES 11 TREES, 11 TREES |
| | PROVIDED IF #27 IS COUNTED. |
| | ? NOT SATISFIED. 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. |
| | THIS WAS NOT ADDRESSED IN THE COMMENT RESPONSES. |
| | 2/9/21 COULD NOT EASILY LOCATE THE IDENTIFYING E FOR |
| | THE 8 TREES. |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. PROVIDE A DETAIL AND LOCATIONS OF ROOT |
| | BARRIERS TO SEPARATE LANDSCAPING FROM UTILITY LINES. |
| | |
| | 11. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. |
| | 2. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL BE |
| | RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERMITTING AND INSTALLATION OF THE |
| | RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION APPROVED WITH |

| | WAY LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION PERMITTED AND INSTALLED. |
