| | ON THE LIST SUBMITTED ON SHEET L-3. |
| | ? PROVIDE THE CANOPY DIAMETER FOR ALL TREES. ALL TREES |
| | REQUIRING MITIGATION THAT ARE 20 FEET OR MORE IN TREE |
| | CANOPY DIAMETER ARE THE ACTUAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AND ALL |
| | LESS THAN 20 FEET ARE BY CATEGORY. |
| | ? PROVIDE A COLUMN FOR THE TREE OR PALM CATEGORY. |
| | ? PROVIDE THE CONDITION FOR ALL TREES AND PALMS. |
| | ? PROVIDE CANOPY SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR MITIGATION DUE FOR |
| | ANY TREES PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL IN A SEPARATE COLUMN AND |
| | PROVIDE TOTAL MITIGATION DUE. |
| | ? INCLUDE A CHART FOR TREE MITIGATION PROVIDED BASED ON |
| | THE PLANT LIST AND PROVIDE THE TOTAL FOR THE SQUARE |
| | FOOTAGE. |
| | |
| | 2. SECTION 94-448 (D)(3) REQUIRES NATIVE TREES AND |
| | PALMS IN GOOD CONDITION TO BE PRESERVED ON SITE OR |
| | RELOCATED. 17 LIVE OAK TREES, ROYAL AND SABAL PALMS ARE |
| | LISTED TO BE REMOVED. PROVIDE THE METHOD OF |
| | DETERMINATION OF THE CONDITION ASSESSMENT, AND THE |
| | SOURCE OF THE DETERMINATION FOR RELOCATION. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3. SHOW THE CALCULATIONS FOR MINIMUM SHADE TREE AND |
| | FLOWERING TREE REQUIREMENTS (MISSING) PER SECTION |
| | 94-443(C)(2)B. BASED ON OPEN SPACE AND ADD REQUIRED ONE |
| | TREE PER UNIT (197) TO ESTABLISH THE MINIMUM TREES |
| | REQUIRED FOR THE SITE. OPEN SPACE REQUIRED FOR |
| | RESIDENTIAL ZONING INCLUDES SETBACKS, PARKING, |
| | SIDEWALKS, LANDSCAPE ISLANDS AND BUILDING PERIMETER |
| | PLANTINGS. A SEPARATE OPEN SPACE PLAN MAY BE SUBMITTED |
| | SHOWING THE OPEN SPACE AREAS COUNTED. ONCE CORRECTED |
| | FOR THE ADDITION OF FLOWERING TREES AND ONE TREE PER |
| | UNIT REQUIREMENT, ADJUST ALL CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | 4. PROVIDE THE PERCENTAGE OF PALM SUBSTITUTIONS FOR |
| | REQUIRED TREES NOT EXCEEDING 35% PER SECTION 94-442(D). |
| | |
| | |
| | 5. THE DESIGN GUIDELINES PRESENTLY REQUIRE A 10 FOOT |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER AT THE PERIMETER OF THE PD AND SECTION |
| | 94-443(D) REQUIRES A10 FOOT LANDSCAPE BUFFER ADJACENT |
| | TO THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR MULTIFAMILY USES THEREFORE |
| | REQUIRING ALL PERIMETER BUFFERS FOR THIS POD TO BE 10 |
| | FEET IN WIDTH. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING TO REDUCE |
| | ALL THE LANDSCAPE BUFFERS TO 5 FEET AND NOT PROVIDE THE |
| | REQUIRED TREES OR NUMBER OF SUBSTITUTE PALMS. IF THE |
| | BUFFER CANNOT BE PROVIDED ALONG THE PROPERTY LINE AS |
| | REQUIRED, INDICATE THE ALTERNATIVES PRESENTED TO |
| | PROVIDE COMPARABLE BUFFERING ON THE SITE. |
| | |
| | 6. INDICATE THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER LOCATIONS ON THE SITE |
| | PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 7. CORRECT ALL CALCULATIONS FOR THE REQUIRED TREES FOR |
| | BUFFER SEGMENTS ON THE PERIMETER BUFFER REQUIREMENT |
| | CHART AND LIST LINEAR FOOTAGE OF EACH PROPERTY LINE |
| | SEGMENT MEASURED ALONG THE CENTERLINE OF EACH BUFFER |
| | CONTINUOUSLY. PRESIDENTIAL WAY IS ONE BUFFER LENGTH, |
| | SOUTH PROPERTY LINE IS ANOTHER SECTION, WEST PROPERTY |
| | LINE, THEN SOUTH SECTION, THEN WEST SECTION. DUE TO THE |
| | IRREGULAR SHAPE, EACH BUFFER LENGTH MAY BE DESIGNATED |
| | WITH A LETTER, THEN CALCULATIONS FOR REQUIRED TREES |
| | CALCULATED FOR EACH SEGMENT CALCULATED, ROUNDING UP FOR |
| | ANY PORTION LEFT OF THE 30 FOOT LENGTHS. |
| | |
| | 8. PROVIDE CALCULATION FOR BUFFER ALONG PRESIDENTIAL |
| | WAY WITH ACCESS DRIVEWAYS TO SHOW THEY DO NOT EXCEED |
| | 20% INTERRUPTION FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS AS REQUIRED BY |
| | SECTION 94-443(D)(1)A. |

| | 10. SUBSTITUTION OF PALMS FOR TREES REQUIRES 3:1 RATIO |
| | FOR SABAL PALMS AND MONTGOMERY PALMS. ADD UP ALL TRUNKS |

| | ROYALS AND MEDJOOLS AS 1:1 PALMS. RECALCULATE TREES |
| | COUNT PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | |
| | 11. MODIFY THE PLANT LIST TO ADD COLUMNS FOR NATIVE |
| | PLANT AND DROUGHT TOLERANCE LEVELS TO PROVIDE EASIER |
| | REFERENCE. |
| | |

| | CATEGORY 1 TREES PROVIDED FOR THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPE |
| | AREAS. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A WAIVER FOR SOME |
| | TERMINAL ISLAND TREES AND SUBSTITUTION OF PALMS IN SOME |
| | ISLANDS. THE LOCATIONS NEED TO BE CLARIFIED AND NOTED |
| | AS REQUESTING WAIVER. STAFF RECOMMENDS LOOKING AT |
