| | PROJECT: BANYAN CAY RPD/CPD |
| | SEPTEMBER 23, 2020 |
| | FLU AMENDMENT Z20050011 MF TO CE |
| | REZONING TO CPD Z20050012 |
| | MAJOR PD AMENDMENT Z20050013 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS REGARDING THE |
| | TREES AND PALMS ON SITE: |
| | ? SATISFIED. PROVIDE A TREE SURVEY. |
| | ? SATISFIED. PROVIDE A NUMBERED TREE DISPOSITION LIST |
| | AND PLAN. SPECIFY EACH TREE OR PALM IF IT IS TO REMAIN, |
| | BE RELOCATED OR REMOVED. THERE ARE SEVERAL |
| | CONTRADICTIONS ON THE LIST SUBMITTED ON SHEET L-3. |
| | ? SATISFIED. 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. |
| | ? NOT SATISFIED. PROVIDE A COLUMN FOR THE TREE OR PALM |
| | CATEGORY. |
| | SUGGESTED TREE LIST THAT IDENTIFIES CATEGORIES CAN BE |
| | FORWARDED IF NEEDED. |
| | ? SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE CONDITION FOR ALL TREES AND |
| | PALMS. |
| | ? PARTIALLY SATISFIED. PROVIDE CANOPY SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | FOR MITIGATION DUE FOR ANY TREES PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL |
| | IN A SEPARATE COLUMN AND PROVIDE TOTAL MITIGATION DUE. |
| | THE LIST OF CANOPY MITIGATION SQUARE FOOTAGE DUE FOR |
| | REMOVED TREES OR PALMS IS NOT COMPLETE. EACH MUST HAVE |
| | A SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THE CATEGORY FOR ALL PALMS AND |
| | TREES BELOW 20 FEET IN CANOPY DIAMETER. CATEGORY 1 IS |
| | 300 SQ FT, CATEGORY 2 IS 150 SQ FT, CATEGORY 3 IS 100 |
| | SQ FT, CATEGORY 4 IS 50 SQ FT. |
| | ? PARTIALLY SATISFIED. INCLUDE A CHART FOR TREE |
| | MITIGATION PROVIDED BASED ON THE PLANT LIST AND PROVIDE |
| | THE TOTAL FOR THE SQUARE FOOTAGE. |
| | PROVIDE THE TOTAL FOR ALL TREES BY CATEGORY THAT ARE |
| | ADDED ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. 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. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. 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. |
| | RECALCULATE REQUIRED TREES, FLOWERING TREES AND SHRUBS |
| | BASED ON 40% REQUIRED OPEN SPACE, AS REQUIRED FOR CPD |
| | ZONING. STAFF CORRECTS THIS COMMENT TO REFLECT THE |
| | PROPOSED ZONING AND APOLOGIZES FOR THE ERROR. SHEET |
| | L-43 SHOULD USE 180677.3 X .4 EQUALS 72,271 SQ FT. |
| | REQUIRED; 49 TREES, 13 FLOWERING TREES AND 145 SHRUBS |
| | FOR THE AFFECTED AREA. ADDING 197 FOR MULTIFAMILY |
| | SHOULD RESULT IN TOTAL TREES REQUIRED OF 259. |
| | STAFF PRELIMINARY COUNT OF PROVIDED TREES AND PALMS |
| | APPEARS TO BE EQUAL TO 287 TREES, SO THE REQUIRED |
| | NUMBER HAS BEEN MET AND EXCEEDED. |
| | |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE PERCENTAGE OF PALM |
| | SUBSTITUTIONS FOR REQUIRED TREES NOT EXCEEDING 35% PER |
| | SECTION 94-442(D). |
| | |
| | |
| | 5. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. 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. |
| | NO CHANGE WAS PROPOSED FOR THE DESIGN GUIDELINES TO |
| | ADDRESS THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE 10 FOOT LANDSCAPE |
| | BUFFER FOR THE PERIMETER OF THE PD. NO JUSTIFICATION |
| | HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR SUCH A CHANGE. |
| | |
| | |
| | 6. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. INDICATE THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER |
| | LOCATIONS ON THE SITE PLAN AND LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | SHOW THE WIDTH OF THE PROPOSED BUFFERS ALONG ALL |
| | EXTERIOR PARCEL LINES. ADD REQUIRED AND PROPOSED WIDTH |
| | TO BUFFER LIST AND NOTE THAT WAIVER IS REQUESTED. |
| | |
| | 7. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. 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. |
| | |
| | C: WEST BUFFER REQUIRES 12 TREES. D: SOUTH BUFFER |
| | REQUIRES 10 TREES. |
| | PROVIDE A BREAKDOWN OF TREES AND PALMS PROVIDED FOR |
| | EACH BUFFER SEGMENT TO HELP CLARIFY WHAT IS PROVIDED IN |
| | RELATION TO THE WAIVER. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PROVIDE CALCULATION FOR BUFFER ALONG |
| | PRESIDENTIAL WAY WITH ACCESS DRIVEWAYS TO SHOW THEY DO |
| | NOT EXCEED 20% INTERRUPTION FOR VEHICULAR ACCESS AS |

| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE LINEAR FOOTAGE OF LANDSCAPE |
| | AREA ADJACENT TO EACH BUILDING. PERCENTAGE IS SHOWN, |
| | BUT LENGTH PROVIDED IS MISSING. |
| | |
| | 10. SATISFIED. SUBSTITUTION OF PALMS FOR TREES REQUIRES |
| | 3:1 RATIO FOR SABAL PALMS AND MONTGOMERY PALMS. ADD UP |
| | ALL TRUNKS AT 3:1 AND THEN DIVIDE BY 3 TO GET TREE |
| | COUNT AND ADD ROYALS AND MEDJOOLS AS 1:1 PALMS. |
| | RECALCULATE TREES COUNT PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | |
| | 11. SATISFIED. MODIFY THE PLANT LIST TO ADD COLUMNS FOR |

| | PALMS TO THE PLANT LIST AND COUNT THEM TOWARD THE |
| | REQUIRED TREES. |
| | |
| | REMOVE THE OFFSITE TREES FROM THE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | 13. 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. 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 SUBSTITUTION OF TRIPLE OR LARGE |
| | PALMS TO MEET THE TREE REQUIREMENT, THEN CALCULATE THE |
| | PERCENTAGE AND ADJUST WAIVER ACCORDINGLY. |
| | |
| | 14. SATISFIED. PROVIDE AN EXHIBIT SHOWING THE PARKING |
| | AREA SURFACE CALCULATIONS, PARKING SPACE AREAS AND |
| | LANDSCAPE AREAS PROVIDED TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH |
| | SECTIONS 94-443 (C)(3) AND (4), FOLLOWING THE AREA |
