| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: FPL DSI SUBSTATION EXPANSION Z20080005 |
| | MARCH 23, 2021 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. SATISFIED. PROVIDE A COMPLETE TREE SURVEY THAT |
| | INCLUDES ALL TREES ON THE PROPERTY AND PROVIDE A TREE |
| | DISPOSITION LIST AND PLAN IDENTIFYING ALL SPECIES AND |
| | WHETHER TREES WILL REMAIN, BE RELOCATED OR REMOVED. |
| | INCLUDE COLUMNS FOR CONDITION RATING AND TREE CANOPY |
| | DIAMETER. |
| | CANOPY SPREAD IN CHART NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TO CANOPY |
| | DIAMETER. THE LISTED NUMBERS APPEAR TO BE RADIUS FROM |
| | THE TREE SURVEY, SO NEED TO BE DOUBLED TO CORRECTLY |
| | REFLECT DIAMETER. |
| | |
| | 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 RELOCATION POTENTIAL FOR |
| | THE NATIVE TREES AND PALMS. |
| | SUPPLY ARBORIST INFORMATION ON RELOCATION POTENTIAL, AS |
| | ALL TREES ARE LISTED IN GOOD CONDITION. TREES DO NOT |
| | HAVE TO BE RELOCATED TO THE SAME PARCEL, THERE MAY BE |
| | OTHER AREAS OF THE DSI WHERE TREES CAN BE ACCOMMODATED. |
| | PER THE PLANNING AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR, THE REMOVAL |
| | AND MITIGATION BY PAYMENT IN LIEU IS GRANTED DUE TO THE |
| | NATURE OF THE USE OF THE SURROUNDING AREA AND THE |
| | UTILITY RESTRICTIONS. |
| | 3. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE CALCULATIONS FOR |
| | ANY MITIGATION DUE FOR REMOVED TREES AND PROVIDE |
| | CALCULATIONS OF MITIGATION TREE CANOPY PROPOSED. |
| | MAKE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO THE TREE MITIGATION |
| | TABLE: |
| | ? SATISFIED. CANOPY DIAMETERS LESS THAN 20 FEET ARE TO |
| | SHOW THE MITIGATION DUE AS THE CATEGORY SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | ON A ONE TO ONE BASIS. CYPRESS, MAHOGANY, GREEN |
| | BUTTONWOOD, LAUREL OAK AND LIVE OAK ARE ALL CATEGORY 1, |
| | SO WOULD BE 300 SQUARE FEET EACH DUE. SILVER BUTTONWOOD |
| | IS CATEGORY 2, SO WOULD BE 150 SQ FT EACH DUE. |
| | ? SATISFIED. CANOPY DIAMETERS OF 20 FEET OR MORE MUST |
| | BE CALCULATED FOR ACTUAL SQUARE FOOTAGE OF CANOPY. IF |
| | THEY CANNOT BE RELOCATED PER COMMENT 2, THERE APPEAR TO |
| | BE 9 TREES THAT WOULD FALL IN THIS CATEGORY. |
| | ? SATISFIED. TOTALS OF MITIGATION DUE NEED TO BE |
| | INCLUDED ON CHART. |
| | ? PARTIALLY SATISFIED. TOTALS OF MITIGATION CREDITS |
| | NEED TO BE CALCULATED BASED ON THE PLANT LIST BY |
| | CATEGORY AND TOTAL PROVIDED. |
| | PROPOSED OFF SITE TREES CANNOT BE COUNTED TOWARD |
| | MITIGATION. OPTIONS ARE TO PLACE THE TREES ON THE SITE |
| | OR PAYMENT IN LIEU. |
| | |
| | 4. SATISFIED. PROVIDE A LANDSCAPE PLAN MEETING ALL THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 94-442 (B), INCLUDING A |
| | COMPLETE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | 5. SATISFIED. ADD EXISTING AND RELOCATED TREES OR PALMS |
| | TO THE FINAL PLANT LIST AND COUNT THEM TOWARD THE |
| | REQUIRED TREES. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. PROVIDE CALCULATIONS FOR REQUIRED TREES |
| | BASED ON 40% REQUIRED OPEN SPACE AND SHOW THE TOTAL |
| | TREES PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | 7. SATISFIED. INDICATE THE REQUIRED 5 FOOT PERIMETER |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFER ON THE SITE AND LANDSCAPE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PROVIDE CALCULATIONS FOR REQUIRED BUFFER |
| | TREES AT ONE FOR EVERY 30 FEET OR PORTION THEREOF FOR |
| | EACH PROPERTY LINE SEGMENT, AND SHOW THE NUMBER |
| | PROVIDED PER SECTION 94-443. A CONTINUOUS HEDGE SHALL |
| | BE PROVIDED IN THE BUFFERS TO PROVIDE SCREENING. |
| | INDICATE EXISTING HEDGES. |
| | |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. THE DRAINAGE AREAS AS INDICATED DO NOT |
| | TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE ROOT SYSTEMS OF THE |
| | EXISTING TREES AT THE PERIMETER OF THE PROPERTY. DESIGN |
| | SHOULD BE ADJUSTED TO AVOID DESTRUCTION OF ROOT SYSTEMS |
| | AND HARM TO THE EXISTING TREES. |
| | |
| | 10. SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE 50 REQUIRED FLORIDA FRIENDLY |
| | POINTS BASED ON THE FINAL PLANT LIST PER SECTION |
| | 94-443(G). |
| | |
| | 11. SATISFIED. SHOW COMPLIANCE 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. PROVIDE THE ACTUAL PERCENTAGE BASED |
| | ON THE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL |
| | 1. PRIOR TO THE REMOVAL OR RELOCATION OF ANY TREES ON |
| | THE PROPERTY, A TREE ALTERATION PERMIT SHALL BE |
| | SUBMITTED, REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE DEVELOPMENT |
| | SERVICES DEPARTMENT, PLANNING DIVISION. |
