| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: BJ?S AT BRANDSMART CPD Z20070016 |
| | MARCH 17, 2021 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. NOT SATISFIED. DESIGN GUIDELINES: |
| | ? THE EXCEPTION TO THE LANDSCAPE BUFFER FOR WATER |
| | BODIES OR I-95 IS NOT SUPPORTED BY STAFF. THE PERIMETER |
| | OF THE BRANDSMART PD MUST HAVE THE REQUIRED BUFFER AS |
| | STATED. |
| | ? BUFFERS MAY BE ADJUSTED TO AVOID UTILITY EASEMENT |
| | OVERLAP THAT WOULD PREVENT THE REQUIRED LANDSCAPING |
| | FROM BEING ALLOWED. THIS IS REINFORCED BY THE EASEMENT |
| | REQUIREMENT NOT BEING ALLOWED TO COUNT TOWARD BUFFER |
| | REQUIREMENT. |
| | ? ALL LANDSCAPE BUFFERS MUST MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS |
| | OF ARTICLE XIV ?LANDSCAPING, LAND CLEARING, TREE |
| | PROTECTION AND ARTIFICIAL TURF?. |
| | ? ALL BUILDINGS MODIFIED OR ADDED MUST MEET THE 30 |
| | PERCENT LINEAR FOOTAGE REQUIREMENT FOR FOUNDATION |
| | LANDSCAPING. |
| | THE DESIGN GUIDELINES ARE NO LONGER NEEDED FOR |
| | LANDSCAPE ITEMS. NOW THAT THE SUBDIVISION REQUEST ONLY |
| | CREATES 2 LOTS, CODE REQUIREMENTS CAN BE MET, OR A |
| | WAIVER REQUESTED. |
| | |
| | 2. WAIVER REQUESTS. |
| | ? SATISFIED. #1 SHOULD READ: PROPOSED -WAIVE THE FIVE |
| | FOOT BUFFER REQUIREMENT FOR INTERIOR LOT LINES. |
| | ? NOT SATISFIED. #5 UP TO18 PARKING SPACES IN A ROW FOR |
| | NEW PARKING AREAS WOULD HAVE TO PROVIDE TREE CANOPY IN |
| | SOME OTHER WAY TO MEET THE INTENT OF 94-443(C). OPTIONS |
| | ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE CODE TO ALLOW UP TO 12 |
| | SPACES IN A ROW BY EXPANDING THE LANDSCAPE ISLANDS. |
| | THERE IS ALSO AN OPTION TO ELIMINATE PERIMETER |
| | LANDSCAPE ISLANDS BY PROVIDING ALTERNATIVE AREAS FOR |
| | TREE CANOPY. |
| | THE SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLAN HAVE BEEN RECONFIGURED AND |
| | THE 18 SPACES IS NOT APPLICABLE. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3. NO LONGER APPLICABLE. A WAIVER FOR SECTION 94-243, |
| | TABLE VII-3 COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS REGULATIONS REGARDING |
| | OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS WOULD HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IF |
| | 40% OPEN SPACE MINIMUM ON INDIVIDUAL LOTS IS NOT MET AS |
| | THEY ARE DEVELOPED, AS THE MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE AREA IS |
| | 60%. OPEN SPACE BY CODE DEFINITION INCLUDES ALL AREAS |
| | THAT ARE UNENCLOSED. THE MINIMUM LANDSCAPING IS 15%, |
| | AND EACH LOT SHOULD BE ABLE TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 4. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE LANDSCAPE PLAN |
| | SHOWING EXISTING AND PROPOSED LANDSCAPE FOR THE LINEAR |
| | PARK AREA. THE LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS ARE TO BE |
| | UPGRADES FOR THE EXISTING LANDSCAPE TO JUSTIFY |
| | REDUCTIONS IN LANDSCAPE IN OTHER AREAS, SO THIS NEEDS |
| | TO BE QUANTIFIED. THE ACTUAL AREA IS PROPOSED TO BE |
| | REDUCED BY THE ADDITION OF PARKING. |
| | |
| | THE DESIGN PROVIDES LITTLE AREA FOR ACTUAL USE BY |
| | PEOPLE AND THE BAHIA SOD IN THE DRAINAGE AREA DOES NOT |
| | OFFER ANYTHING DIFFERENT FROM THE STANDARD DESIGN. |
| | STAFF SUGGESTS ENHANCED PLANTINGS TO MEET THE INTENTION |
| | OF THE BIOSWALE PROVIDING VISUAL INTEREST AND HABITAT |
| | CREATION WITH WALKWAYS TO ALLOW ACCESS AND VIEWING OF |
| | THE ENHANCED AREA. PROVIDE AN ANALYSIS OF THE |
| | COMPARISON FOR TREE CANOPY CURRENTLY EXISTING AND THE |
| | PROPOSED TREE CANOPY COVERAGE. |
| | THE LANDSCAPING IN THE ADJACENT RIGHT OF WAY MUST BE |
| | SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN AND ENHANCED TO PROVIDE A |
| | CONTINUOUS DESIGN FOR THE AREA. SECTION 94-452 ROADWAY |
| | BEAUTIFICATION APPLIES IN THIS CASE TO THE PD SO THE |
| | LANDSCAPE SHOULD BE DESIGNED, INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED |
| | BY THE PROPERTY OWNER AS PART OF THE ENHANCED AREA. |
| | |
| | |
| | 5. PARTIALLY 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. (3) C. |
| | REQUIRES DIVIDER MEDIANS WHERE THERE ARE MORE THAN 3 |
| | CONSECUTIVE ROWS OF PARKING. ALL RECONSTRUCTED AREAS OF |
| | PARKING MUST MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS, AND THE APPROVED |
| | PLAN FOLLOWED FOR UNALTERED AREAS. |
| | ALL AREAS OF PARKING ARE BEING RECONSTRUCTED SO PARKING |
| | LOT LANDSCAPING REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO ALL AREAS. THE |
| | DIVIDER MEDIANS MUST BE PROVIDED IF MORE THAN 3 |
| | CONSECUTIVE ROWS OF PARKING. IF CHOOSING TO USE |
| | 94-443(C)(6) B., THE INTERIOR ISLAND MUST BE SPLIT AND |
| | ALTERNATED. NO ADDITIONAL TREE CANOPY HAS BEEN |
| | PROVIDED. |
| | THERE IS ONE LANDSCAPE ISLAND IN THE PARKING AREA SOUTH |
| | OF BRANDSMART BUILDING THAT DOES NOT HAVE 2 TREES FOR |
| | THE 2 ROWS OF PARKING. |
| | PROVIDE DIMENSIONS FOR ALL LANDSCAPE ISLANDS AS THERE |
| | APPEAR TO BE ONES IN THE EASTERN PARKING AREA THAT DO |
| | NOT MEET THE MINIMUM WIDTH FOR THE FULL LENGTH OF THE |
| | PARKING SPACE. |
| | |
| | 6. PARTIALLY 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. |
| | PROVIDE A LISTING OF THE TREES PROVIDED IN THE INTERIOR |
| | PARKING ISLANDS BY SPECIES AND COUNT AND SHOW |
| | PERCENTAGE CALCULATED. |
| | |
| | 7. PARTIALLY 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 MUST BE PROVIDED |
| | TO DEMONSTRATE THE AREAS COUNTED. |
| | THERE SHOULD BE 3 AREAS SHOWN WITH DIFFERENT SHADING OR |
| | GRAPHIC. PARKING SPACES, OTHER VEHICULAR USE AREAS AND |
| | INTERIOR LANDSCAPE AREAS NEED TO BE IDENTIFIED AND |
| | QUANTIFIED. SECTION 94-443 (C)FIGURE XIV-1 SHOULD BE |
| | USED TO DISCERN INTERIOR LANDSCAPE AREAS. THERE ARE |
| | ALSO SOME AREAS SHOWN ACROSS PARCEL LINES ON THE SHEETS |
| | L-211 AND L-212. |

| | 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. |
| | |
| | ? SATISFIED. ADD A COLUMN AND LIST THE CATEGORY 1, 2, |
