| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: WEST PALM POINT Z20120016 |
| | DECEMBER 21, 2021 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. MAKE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO THE TREE |
| | DISPOSITION PLAN AND THE TREE INVENTORY LIST: |
| | ? CONDITIONALLY SATISFIED. EXPLAIN WHERE THE RELOCATED |
| | ROYAL PALMS WILL BE PLANTED |
| | ? SATISFIED. #12 FICUS WOULD BE 300 SQ FT MITIGATION |
| | ? SATISFIED. #13 WASHINGTONIA PALM IS CATEGORY 4, SO 50 |
| | SQ FT MITIGATION |
| | ? SATISFIED. CORRECT SPELLING FOR MITIGATION REQ (SF) |
| | COLUMN |
| | |
| | 2. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. LIST THE TREE SPECIES AND |
| | SQUARE FOOTAGE CREDIT FOR THE OPEN SPACE SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | CALCULATIONS FOR EACH OPEN SPACE. PERCENTAGES DO NOT |
| | MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ENTIRE PRIVATE OPEN SPACE |
| | SO AN AREA MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS NEEDS TO BE |
| | DESIGNATED. |
| | OS-1 OPEN SPACE PLAN DOES NOT MATCH THE LANDSCAPE PLAN |
| | SHEET LP-1 FOR THE NUMBER OF CLUSIA TREES AT THE |
| | NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE PLAZA. |
| | NEEDS TO BE BASED ON PROVIDED. DESIGNATE AN AREA THAT |
| | MEETS THE MINIMUM OPEN SPACE AREA REQUIRED AND THEN |
| | PROVIDE PERCENTAGES OF VEGETATED AREA AND TREE CANOPY |
| | FOR THAT AREA. 17,895 SQ FT REQUIRES 4,473.75 SQ FT |
| | VEGETATED AREA AND 5,368.5 SQ FT TREE CANOPY, WHICH ARE |
| | NOT MET. |
| | THE PUBLIC OPEN SPACE PLAZA NEEDS TO MEET THE CRITERIA |
| | ABOVE. THE PRIVATE OPEN SPACE ROOFTOP GARDEN HAS SOME |
| | TREE CANOPY SQUARE FOOTAGE CALCULATIONS THAT ARE OFF |
| | AND LIGUSTRUMS ARE NOT COUNTED. |
| | |
| | 3. SATISFIED. PER SECTION 94-113, CALCULATIONS FOR |
| | NUMBER OF REQUIRED STREET TREES NEED TO BE CORRECTED. |
| | LIST TOTAL LENGTH OF EACH PROPERTY LINE SEGMENT, DIVIDE |
| | BY 30, THEN INDICATE THE NUMBER OF TREES REQUIRED, |
| | ROUNDING UP FOR ANY PORTION LEFT. ACCESSWAYS ARE NOT |
| | DEDUCTED. |
| | |
| | 4. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. THE WEST STREETSCAPE DOES NOT |
| | MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OR NUMBER OF THE |
| | REQUIRED STREET TREES ALONG THE CURB. THE MEDIAN |
| | PLACEMENT OF TREES DO NOT MEET THE INTENT OF PROVIDING |
| | TREE CANOPY OVER THE PEDESTRIAN AREAS OF THE |
| | STREETSCAPE. |
| | THE RESPONSE TO COMMENT DID NOT INCLUDE THE WAIVER |
| | REQUEST FOR THE WEST STREETSCAPE SEGMENT AS INDICATED |
| | ON SHEET LP-1. 4 TREES ARE PROVIDED IN THE STREETSCAPE, |
| | STAFF DISCUSSED AND REQUESTS ADDING ONE ADDITIONAL TREE |
| | ON EACH SIDE OF THE DROPOFF CANOPY TO PROVIDE |
| | ADDITIONAL SHADE FOR THE SIDEWALK AREA AND ADDING THE |
| | REMAINING 3 TREES TO THE PLAZA PUBLIC OPEN SPACE TO |
| | PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN SHADE. THIS MEETS THE |
| | INTENT OF THE STREETSCAPE REQUIREMENTS. |
| | TREES ADDED IN QUADRILLE MEDIAN DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO |
| | SHADE FOR PEDESTRIANS BUT WILL IMPROVE THE AESTHETICS. |
| | STAFF SUGGESTS THE USE OF BULNESIA ARBOREA TO FOLLOW |
| | THE PATTERN ON QUADRILLE AND ALABAMA AVENUE ADJACENT TO |
| | RESTORATION HARDWARE SITE. |
| | |
| | |
| | 5. SATISFIED. FLORIDA FRIENDLY DESIGN OPTIONS POINTS |
| | CANNOT BE COUNTED FOR 51% OR MORE NATIVE GROUNDCOVER, |
| | AS THEY ARE ALL NON-NATIVE. POINTS CANNOT BE COUNTED |
| | FOR 51% OR MORE NATIVE SHRUBS, AS THEY ARE ALL |
| | NON-NATIVE. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. CORRECT IN THE PLANT LIST: NATCHEZ CRAPE |
| | MYRTLE IS NOT FLORIDA NATIVE. AGAVE AMERICANA IS NOT |
| | FLORIDA NATIVE. |
| | |
| | 7. SATISFIED. SHOW LOCATIONS OF UTILITY LINES ON |
| | LANDSCAPE PLAN, ALSO LOCATIONS OF VALVES AND BACKFLOW |
| | PREVENTERS AND FPL TRANSFORMERS. SCREENING MUST BE |
| | PROVIDED. THERE ARE CONFLICTS BETWEEN UTILITIES AND |
| | LANDSCAPING THAT WILL HAVE TO BE RESOLVED. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PER SECTION 94-113, ADJUST LOCATIONS OF |
| | REQUIRED STRUCTURAL SOIL TO ONLY SHOW UNDER HARDSCAPE |
| | ADJACENT TO STREET TREES. AREA FOR STRUCTURAL SOIL AND |
| | PLANTING AREA SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 14 FEET IN LENGTH |
| | AND 9 FEET IN WIDTH RELATIVE TO THE BACK OF CURB. |
| | STRUCTURAL SOIL DETAIL IS TO SHOW THE CONSTRUCTION |
| | CROSS SECTION FOR DEPTH OF 36 INCHES, AND PLANTING SOIL |
| | IN THE PLANTING AREA. DO NOT INCLUDE TREE GRATES UNLESS |
| | NEEDED FOR ADA TRAVEL WIDTH. CORRECT THE DETAIL TO |
| | REFLECT THIS. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 5/4/21: |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. CORRECT THE TREES PROVIDED FOR MITIGATION |
| | PROVIDED ON THE TREE DISPOSITION SHEET TD-1 TO MATCH |
| | THE PLANT LIST. CATHEDRAL OAK, NOT HIGHRISE OAK. |
| | 10. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. PROVIDE PRELIMINARY FDOT |
| | APPROVAL FOR ALL TREES IN THE FDOT RIGHT OF WAY. |
| | THE STREET TREES EAST OF THE GARAGE ENTRANCE ON |
| | LAKEVIEW AND THE STREET TREES WEST OF THE GARAGE |
| | ENTRANCE ON OKEECHOBEE APPEAR TO BE IN FDOT SIGHT LINES |
| | PER THE ENGINEERING PLANS. THESE TREES NEED TO BE MOVED |
| | OUT OF THE SIGHT LINES CLOSER TO THE BUILDING. THERE |
| | MAY BE DRAINAGE LINES ON THE OKEECHOBEE SIDE THAT WILL |
| | ALSO HAVE TO BE MOVED TO ACCOMMODATE THE TREES. |
| | |
| | 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 |
