| | PROJECT: HULETT CPD Z20070009 |
| | MARCH 25, 2021 |
| | THE RESUBMITTED DESIGN HAS CHANGED SUBSTANTIALLY, SO |
| | NEW COMMENTS ARE PLACED AT THE END OF THE MEMO. |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO TREE |
| | DISPOSITION CHART SHEET L2: |
| | ? SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE CANOPY DIAMETERS FOR ALL |
| | TREES. |
| | ? SATISFIED. IF CANOPY DIAMETERS ARE 20 FEET OR MORE, |
| | CALCULATE THE ACTUAL SQUARE FOOTAGE AND ENTER INTO THE |
| | MITIGATION DUE COLUMN IF PROPOSED FOR REMOVAL. IF UNDER |
| | 20 FEET, THE SQUARE FOOTAGE IS BASED ON THE CATEGORY |
| | FOR THE TREE. ADD A COLUMN FOR THE CANOPY SQUARE |
| | FOOTAGE FOR ALL TREES AND PALMS. |
| | |
| | ? SATISFIED. ADD A COLUMN AND LIST THE CATEGORY FOR |
| | EACH TREE AND PALM FROM THE CITY REFERENCE LIST. |
| | SABAL PALMS ARE CATEGORY 3, CORRECT ON LIST. #53 IS 100 |
| | SQ FT MITIGATION DUE FOR CATEGORY 3 REMOVAL. |
| | |
| | ? SATISFIED. REMOVE EXISTING ?UNIDENTIFIED TREE TO BE |
| | REMOVED? FROM THE TREE ACTION LEGEND LIST, AS ALL TREES |
| | MUST BE PROPERLY IDENTIFIED. |
| | ? SATISFIED. REMOVE NOTE REFERENCING DBH. |
| | ? SATISFIED. ASSIGN NUMBERS AND INCLUDE TREE AND 5 |
| | PALMS SHOWN IN RED ALONG THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE. |
| | ? SATISFIED. CHANGE TREE CREDITS COLUMN TO MITIGATION |
| | DUE, AND LIST SQUARE FOOTAGE IF MITIGATION IS DUE. |
| | ? SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF |
| | MITIGATION DUE AND SHOW MITIGATION SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | PROVIDED FROM THE PROPOSED TREE LIST AFTER ALL |
| | CORRECTIONS. |
| | ADJUST TOTAL FOR ALL MITIGATION DUE TO INCLUDE PALMS |
| | AND CORRECTED PALM TOTAL. |
| | SHOULD BE 11,548 SQ FT. |
| | |
| | ? SATISFIED. INCLUDE A LIST OF ALL SPECIES AND |
| | QUANTITIES COUNTED TOWARD MITIGATION BASED ON THE |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN, NOT INCLUDING REPLACEMENTS FOR MISSING |
| | APPROVED TREES AND PALMS. |
| | MITIGATION IS SHORT 148 SQ FT. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. SECTION 94-448 (D)(3) REQUIRES NATIVE |
| | TREES IN GOOD CONDITION TO BE PRESERVED ON SITE OR |
| | RELOCATED. ANSI A 300 (PART 5) STANDARDS SPECIFY |
| | EXAMPLES OF SUITABILITY RATINGS OF GOOD, MODERATE, OR |
| | POOR FOR RELOCATION. PROVIDE CONDITION FOR ALL EXISTING |
| | TREES AND PALMS AND RELOCATION POTENTIAL FOR THE NATIVE |
| | TREES AND PALMS BASED ON A CERTIFIED ARBORISTS REPORT. |
| | |
| | 3. SATISFIED. EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE IN PERVIOUS AREA |
| | AND LANDSCAPE AREA SQUARE FOOTAGE. |
| | ANSWER TO COMMENT ADDRESSES PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS |
| | AREAS. THE QUESTION WAS REFERENCING THE DISCREPANCY |
| | SHOWN BETWEEN THE PERVIOUS AREA SQUARE FOOTAGE AND THE |
| | LANDSCAPE AREA SQUARE FOOTAGE LISTED ON THE LANDSCAPE |
| | CODE DATA CHART. THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED TO SHOW THEY |
| | ARE NOW THE SAME SQUARE FOOTAGE. |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. REMOVE ?S. DIXIE HWY.? FROM WEST PROPERTY |
| | LINE BUFFER REFERENCE. |
| | |
| | 5. SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE FOUNDATION PLANTING |
| | CALCULATION REQUIRED AND PROVIDED FOR EACH BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. THE APPROVED LANDSCAPE PLAN FROM RES. NO. |
| | 266-12 EXHIBIT D IS THE APPROVED PLAN OF RECORD, AND |
| | THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO THAT PLAN. ALL AREAS THAT ARE |
| | NOT BEING ALTERED WITH THIS AMENDMENT NEED TO SHOW THE |
| | PREVIOUSLY APPROVED LANDSCAPING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS |
| | TREES AND PALMS MISSING FROM THE EXISTING SITE AND MUST |
| | BE REPLACED UNLESS THE AREA IS BEING ALTERED. |
| | MISSING TREES AND PALMS FROM THE APPROVED PLANS MUST BE |
| | SHOWN AS BEING REPLACED WITH THIS PLAN. ALL EXISTING |
| | TREES SHOWN MUST BE IDENTIFIED ON THIS PLAN. THERE ARE |
| | MULTIPLE APPROVED PALMS AND TREES MISSING, ESPECIALLY |
| | IN THE EASTERN BUFFER. SHEET L3 IS REFERENCED BUT WAS |
| | NOT SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW. ALL EXISTING TREES MUST BE |
| | IDENTIFIED WITH TAGS ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. |
| | |
| | |
| | 7. SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE NUMBER AND PERCENTAGE OF |
| | SUBSTITUTION OF PALMS FOR REQUIRED TREES. SECTION |
| | 94-442(D) REQUIRES A 3:1 RATIO FOR SUBSTITUTION FOR |
| | PALMS EXCEPT THE LISTED 1:1 SPECIES. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PROVIDE A PLAN SHOWING THE PARKING |
| | LANDSCAPE AREAS COUNTED TOWARD COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION |
| | 94-443(C)(3) AND (4) AND PROVIDE CALCULATIONS. PROVIDE |
| | THE TOTAL REQUIRED AND PROVIDED AS ONE TOTAL FOR BOTH |
| | SECTIONS. A SEPARATE EXHIBIT MAY BE PROVIDED TO |
| | DEMONSTRATE THE AREAS COUNTED. |
| | SECTION (4) HAS NOT BEEN CALCULATED AND INCLUDED IN |
| | TOTAL. PROVIDE A SEPARATE PLAN WITH THE PARKING SPACES, |
| | OTHER VEHICULAR USE AREAS AND THE PROVIDE INTERIOR |
| | LANDSCAPE AREAS SHOWN. |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. SECTION 94-443 (C)(3)A. REQUIRES A |
| | TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND AND REQUIRED TREE FOR EACH |
| | ROW OF PARKING. (3)B. REQUIRES AN INTERIOR LANDSCAPE |
| | ISLAND WITH A REQUIRED TREE SO THERE ARE NO MORE THAN |
| | 10 SPACES IN A ROW. ALL THESE LANDSCAPE AREAS MUST MEET |
| | THE MINIMUM WIDTH OF 8 FEET OF LANDSCAPE AREA AND BE |
| | THE FULL LENGTH OF THE ADJACENT SPACE. ALL |
| | RECONSTRUCTED AREAS OF PARKING MUST MEET THESE |
| | REQUIREMENTS, AND THE APPROVED PLAN FOLLOWED FOR |
| | UNALTERED AREAS. |
| | TREES HAVE BEEN DOUBLE COUNTED IN SOME ISLANDS, |
| | INCLUDING 2 ISLANDS SOUTH AND ONE NORTHEAST OF EXISTING |
| | BUILDING, |
| | |
| | TERMINAL ISLAND EAST OF DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE DOES NOT |
| | CONTAIN A TREE. |
| | |
| | 10. 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 DIVIDER ISLANDS, TERMINAL, AND |
| | INTERIOR ISLANDS. |
| | |
| | THE PERCENTAGE IS NOT 100%. THERE ARE FOUR SILVER |
| | BUTTONWOOD TREES USED AS REQUIRED TREES, AND THEY ARE |
| | CATEGORY 2. ALL EXISTING TREES MUST ALSO BE IDENTIFIED. |
| | THEN PROVIDE AN ACCURATE PERCENTAGE. |
| | |
| | 11. SATISFIED. IN THE PARKING AREAS BEING |
| | RECONSTRUCTED, STAFF SUGGESTS REDUCING THE PAVED AREAS |
| | FOR PARKING SPACES AND USING CURBS INSTEAD OF WHEEL |
| | STOPS TO ALLOW FOR PERVIOUS LANDSCAPE AREA AT THE |
| | OVERHANG. THIS ALSO ALLOWS MORE LANDSCAPE AREA FOR |
| | SUPPORTING THE ROOT ZONES OF THE TREES. |
| | 12. SATISFIED. ADD A COLUMN TO THE PLANT LIST FOR |
| | DROUGHT TOLERANT LEVELS OF EACH SPECIES AND WHETHER |
| | FLORIDA NATIVE. |
| | |
| | 13. SATISFIED. REVISE THE SECTION IN THE LANDSCAPE DATA |
| | CHART TO COMPLY WITH SECTION 94-445 L. PLANT SPECIES. A |
| | MINIMUM OF 60 PERCENT OF PLANT MATERIAL ADDED SHALL BE |
| | FLORIDA NATIVE OR DROUGHT TOLERANT SPECIES SELECTED |
| | FROM THE CITY LIST OR THE LIST OF SPECIES IN THE MOST |
| | RECENT EDITION OF SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT |
| | DISTRICT WATERWISE SOUTH FLORIDA LANDSCAPES. |

| | THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AND RESOLVE CONFLICTS WITH |
| | LANDSCAPING. |
| | THERE APPEARS TO BE A DIRECT CONFLICT WITH A TREE AT |
| | THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE EXISTING BUILDING WITH A |
| | TRANSFORMER. ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THE TRANSFORMER AT THE |
| | NORTHWEST CORNER DOES NOT HAVE SCREENING, AND THE |
| | REQUIRE TREE IS DISPLACED. |
| | |
| | 15. SATISFIED. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CONFLICTS BETWEEN |
| | REQUIRED TREES AND THE PROPOSED WATER LINES, HYDRANTS |
| | AND BACKFLOW PREVENTERS ON THE PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING |
| | PLANS. THESE WILL CONFLICT WITH REQUIRED TREES IN THE |
| | LANDSCAPE AREAS. ALL CHANGES PROPOSED TO PALM BEACH |
| | COUNTY WATER UTILITY LOCATIONS MUST BE FIRST REVIEWED |
| | AND APPROVED BY THE CITY TO VERIFY THERE WILL NOT BE |
| | CHANGES TO THE LANDSCAPE OR SITE PLAN THAT WILL CREATE |
| | NONCONFORMITIES. |
| | HYDRANT PROPOSED AT SOUTH END OF EXISTING BUILDING IS |
| | PLACED SO AS TO LIMIT THE LOCATION OF REQUIRED TREES. |
| | |
| | 16. SATISFIED. PROVIDE SCREENING FOR ALL GROUND MOUNTED |
| | VALVES AND EQUIPMENT. |
| | |
| | 17. SATISFIED. INDICATE HOW LAKE WORTH DRAINAGE |
| | DISTRICT WILL ACCESS AREAS OF THE CANAL FOR |
| | MAINTENANCE. IF THE PREVIOUS GAPS IN THE SOUTH BUFFER |
| | ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED FOR ACCESS, THE REQUIRED |
| | PLANTINGS ARE TO BE RESTORED. PROVIDE DISTRICT APPROVAL |
| | OF ALL LANDSCAPING PROPOSED WITHIN THEIR EASEMENT. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 10/20/20: |
| | |
| | 18. SATISFIED. ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, A |

| | SECTION 94-443(C)(3)C. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 2/4/20: |
| | |
| | 20. SATISFIED. EAST SIDE OF EXISTING BUILDING: |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN SHOWS EXISTING TREES TO REMAIN, SITE |
| | PLAN AND CIVIL PLANS SHOW SIDEWALK WHERE TREES ARE |
| | LOCATED. SIDEWALK LOCATION SHOULD BE AGAINST BUILDING. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 3/25/20 BASED ON THE REVISED SITE |
| | AND LANDSCAPE PLAN: |
| | |
| | 21. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN SHEET LP-1 APPROVED WITH RESO. |
| | 266-12 IS THE PLAN BEING AMENDED, SO ALL MISSING |
| | LANDSCAPING NEEDS TO BE SHOWN PER THAT PLAN AND |
| | PROPOSED CHANGES ARE TO BE INDICATED BY CLOUDING. THAT |
| | MAJOR AMENDMENT APPROVED ADDING THE PARALLEL PARKING |
| | SPACES ALONG THE ACCESS ROAD, SO THERE ARE MISSING |
| | TREES AND PALMS, INCLUDING THE REQUIRED TREES AT THE |
| | ENDS OF THE ROWS OF PARKING. |
| | 22. THE NEW TERMINAL LANDSCAPE ISLAND SOUTHWEST OF THE |
| | EXISTING BUILDING DOES NOT MEET THE 8 FOOT WIDTH |
