| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. SATISFIED. PROVIDE A COMPLETE TREE SURVEY THAT |
| | INCLUDES ALL AFFECTED AREAS INCLUDING PAVEMENT OR |
| | PARKING MODIFICATIONS TO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY. |

| | |
| | 3. 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 TREES |
| | AND RELOCATION POTENTIAL FOR THE NATIVE TREES AND |
| | PALMS. |
| | ALL TREES NEED TO BE INCLUDED, AND AN ACCURATE REASON |

| | EITHER PRESERVED IN PLACE OR RELOCATED TO CITY |
| | PROPERTY. |

| | SECTION 94-109. SHOW HOW THE STANDARDS FOR THE TYPES OF |
| | OPEN SPACE ARE MET FOR VEGETATED AREAS AND TREE CANOPY |
| | SQUARE FOOTAGE BASED ON TABLE IV-8. |
| | THE REQUIRED PRIVATE OPEN SPACE NEEDS TO BE QUANTIFIED, |
| | IDENTIFIED AS TO THE TYPE, AND ALL REQUIREMENTS NEED TO |
| | BE SHOWN FOR THAT OPEN SPACE TYPE. THE ROOFTOP AREA |
| | WITH THE POOL WOULD BE ROOFTOP GARDEN. THE PUBLIC OPEN |
| | SPACE NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A TYPE THAT FITS, |
| | PROBABLY GARDEN PLAZA, AND THE REQUIREMENTS SHOWN. |
| | |
| | FOR THE PRIVATE OPEN SPACE ROOFTOP GARDEN CORRECT THE |

| | LOCATIONS BETWEEN EXISTING TREES AND WATER AND SEWER |
