| | PROJECT: BANYAN CAY RPD/CPD |
| | MAY 5, 2021 |
| | 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: |
| | |
| | THE SITE PLAN, LANDSCAPE PLAN AND BUILDING DESIGN HAVE |
| | BEEN CHANGED AND THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON THE |
| | RESUBMITTED PLANS. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | ? 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. |
| | ? 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. |
| | 4-6-21: |
| | 1. ROYALS ARE CATEGORY 3 (THIS SHOULD MAKE TOTAL OF 4 |
| | ON SUMMARY) |
| | 2. 130289 BLACK OLIVE SHOULD BE 1320 SQ FT NOT 1300. |
| | 3. 130240 FICUS SHOULD BE 3847 SQ FT NOT 3957 |
| | 4. THERE ARE 24 CATEGORY 4 PALMS, NOT 29 |
| | 5. TOTAL WILL BE 10,137 |
| | IT IS MUCH EASIER TO REPLACE THE ?DROUGHT TOLERANT? |
| | COLUMN WITH ?MITIGATION DUE? AND PLACE THE SQUARE |
| | FOOTAGE DUE FOR EACH REMOVAL IN THAT COLUMN. THEN TOTAL |
| | THE COLUMN. |
| | ? 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. |
| | TOTAL THE CANOPY CREDITS FOR ALL TREES ADDED ON THE |
| | PLANT LIST AND SHOW THIS NUMBER IN THE SUMMARY. |
| | |
| | 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. 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. |
| | |
| | 4/6/21: |
| | 72,271 REQUIRED 40% OPEN SPACE. |
| | REQUIRED; 49 TREES, 13 FLOWERING TREES AND 145 SHRUBS |
| | FOR THE AFFECTED AREA. ADDING 191 FOR MULTIFAMILY |
| | SHOULD RESULT IN TOTAL TREES REQUIRED OF 253. |
| | 18 EXISTING TREES, 178 NEW TREES, 16 ROYAL PALMS 1:1, |
| | (9) 28 EXISTING AND RELOCATED PALMS 3:1, 24 NEW PALMS |
| | 1:1, (40) 120 NEW PALMS 3:1, FOR A TOTAL OF 285 |
| | PROVIDED. |
| | HIBISCUS (51) CANNOT BE COUNTED TOWARD TREES AS THEY DO |
| | NOT QUALIFY. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE PERCENTAGE OF PALM |
| | SUBSTITUTIONS FOR REQUIRED TREES NOT EXCEEDING 35% PER |
| | SECTION 94-442(D). |
| | 253 TREES MAX 88 PALM SUBSTITUTIONS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | 5-6-21 CHANGE WAS PROPOSED TO DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR |
| | THIS PARCEL. PROVIDE A COMPELLING REASON JUSTIFYING |
| | THIS CHANGE. |
| | |
| | |
| | 6. 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. |
| | |
| | 7. 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 |
| | REQUIRED BY SECTION 94-443(D)(1)A. |
| | RECALCULATE FOR THE MODIFIED SITE PLAN. |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE LINEAR FOOTAGE OF LANDSCAPE |
| | AREA ADJACENT TO THE 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. THERE ARE BLANK SPACES IN SOME COLUMNS |
| | FOR NATIVE PLANT AND DROUGHT TOLERANCE LEVELS THAT MUST |
| | BE FILLED. |
| | |
| | 12. SATISFIED. ADD ANY RELOCATED TREES AND PALMS TO THE |
| | PLANT LIST AND COUNT THEM TOWARD THE REQUIRED TREES. |
| | REMOVE THE OFFSITE TREES FROM THE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | 13. NOT 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. |
| | RECALCULATE FOR THE MODIFIED SITE PLAN AFTER ADDING ALL |
| | MISSING TREES IN LANDSCAPE TERMINAL ISLANDS. |
| | STAFF COUNTS 39 TERMINAL AND INTERIOR LANDSCAPE ISLANDS |
| | THAT REQUIRE A SHADE TREE. THERE ARE 11 ISLANDS THAT |
| | CONTAIN PALMS. THAT IS 71.79%. |
| | |
| | |
| | 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 |
