| | LG-3.1. IF THIS IS IN ERROR, PROVIDE A MANAGEMENT PLAN |
| | FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE TREES. |

| | 22. NOT SATISFIED. THE TREES PROVIDED ON THE AMENITY |
| | AREA ON FLAGLER NEED TO BE SPREAD OUT TO PROVIDE SHADE |
| | FOR PEDESTRIANS. |
| | THE INTENT FOR THE OVERALL PEDESTRIAN PLAN FOR THE CITY |
| | IS TO PROVIDE TREE CANOPY SHADE OVER PUBLIC AREAS AND |
| | PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALKS. THE LARGE GAP ADJACENT TO THE |
| | PLAZA DOES NOT MEET THIS INTENT. STAFF DOES NOT |
| | RECOGNIZE HAVING THE TREES IN FRONT OF THE PLAZA AS A |
| | SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE TREES WOULD MEET CPTED (CRIME |
| | PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN) |
| | RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE TREE BRANCHING TO BE ABOVE 7 |
| | FEET. PEDESTRIAN ENJOYMENT OF THE PUBLIC WALKWAY ALSO |
| | OUTWEIGHS THE NEEDS OF THE PROPERTY OWNER TO EXPOSE THE |
| | ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDING. |
| | 23. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. TRANSPLANTED OAK TREE #1538 |
| | APPEARS TO BE PROBLEMATIC IN THE SPECIFIED LOCATION |
| | THAT IT WILL CONFLICT WITH THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. |
| | TRANSPLANTED TREES MAY BE RELOCATED OFF SITE. THIS |
| | APPEARS THIS COULD ALSO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE OTHER |
| | RELOCATED TREES AND PALMS. |
| | THE APPLICANT HAS A NOTE PLACED ON THE PLANS FOR |
| | TEMPORARY STORAGE OF THE RELOCATED TREES. PROVIDE A |
| | MORE DETAILED PLAN ON HOW THIS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. THE |
| | RELOCATED LIVE OAK IS SHOWN WITH PAVING PROPOSED OVER |
| | THE ROOT SYSTEM AT ITS NEW LOCATION THAT WILL NOT BE |
| | PRACTICAL OR HEALTHY FOR THE TREE. THE RENDERINGS SHOW |
| | GRASS AREA. A SUSPENDED PAVING SYSTEM OR SOIL CELLS |
| | MUST BE PROVIDED IF THE TREE IS TO BE SUSTAINABLE. |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 8/18/21: |
| | 24. TREE COUNT ON THE PLANT LIST OF 29 LIVE OAK TREES |
| | DOES NOT MATCH THE PLAN SHOWING 30 TREES. |
| | 25. THE SIDEWALK PROPOSED ALONG OLIVE AVE. APPEARS TO |
| | BE TOO CLOSE TO EXISTING TREES AND PALMS. PROVIDE MORE |
| | DETAIL ON HOW THIS WILL BE ADDRESSED. |
| | 26. PROVIDE SCREENING HEDGES FOR ALL GROUND MOUNTED |
| | EQUIPMENT INCLUDING WATER AND FIRE BACKFLOWS ON THE |
| | CURRIE CRESCENT SIDE OF THE BUILDING. |
| | 27. VINES ARE SHOWN ON THE RENDERINGS ON THE WALL OF |
| | THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING, BUT NO PLANTS ARE SHOWN |
| | ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. CORRECT TO SHOW THE PLANTINGS. |
| | 28. PROVIDE THE TOTAL MITIGATION DUE FOR THE ON SITE |
| | TREES AND PALMS TO BE REMOVED. ADONIDIA PALMS ARE |
| | CATEGORY 4 AND REQUIRE 50 SQ FT CANOPY MITIGATION PER |
| | TRUNK, SPANISH CHERRY IS LISTED UNDER CATEGORY 1 AND |
| | REQUIRES 300 SQ FT CANOPY MITIGATION. PROVIDE THE LIST |
| | OF TREES ADDED TO THE SITE AND ASSIGN THE CANOPY |
| | CREDITS BASED ON THE CATEGORY AND PROVIDE THE TOTAL. |
| | 29. THE PLANTING PLANS FOR THE OFF SITE TREES NEED TO |
| | BE REVISED TO SHOW THE FOLLOWING: |
| | ? THE ROYAL PALMS BETWEEN THE GREEN BUTTONWOOD TREES |
| | ARE NOT APPROPRIATE TO DUPLICATE THE CURRENT LOOK OF |
| | THE TREE CANOPY AND THEY WOULD PRESENT A SAFETY AND |
| | MAINTENANCE ISSUE OVER THE PAVEMENT AND PARKING SPACES. |
| | REMOVE THE ROW OF PALMS ADJACENT TO THE CURB. |
| | ? THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM PROVIDED FOR THE ROOT ZONE |
| | OF THE TREES. THE SIDEWALK NEEDS TO BE PUSHED FARTHER |
| | AWAY FROM THE CURB (10 TO 12 FEET) ALLOWING ENOUGH ROOT |
| | SPACE FOR THE TREES AND THE NARROWER LANDSCAPE AREA ON |
| | THE BACK OF SIDEWALK. ROYAL PALMS COULD BE PLACED IN |
| | THIS STRIP, BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE FAR ENOUGH AWAY |
| | FROM THE SIDEWALK TO AVOID FRONDS DROPPING ON THE |
| | SIDEWALK. |
| | ? PROVIDE THE TOTAL TREE CANOPY MITIGATION DUE FOR THE |
| | REMOVED TREES AND PROVIDE THE MITIGATION SQUARE FOOTAGE |
| | PROVIDED FOR THE NEW TREES AND PALMS PROPOSED. IF THERE |
| | IS MITIGATION DUE, STAFF WILL DISCUSS OPTIONS TO |
| | ADDRESS IT. |
| | ? INCREASING THE NUMBER OF GREEN BUTTONWOOD TREES AND |
| | ROYAL PALMS WOULD INCREASE THE PUBLIC BENEFITS AND THE |
| | AESTHETICS. |
| | ? EXPLAIN WHY THERE IS A GAP ON THE CORNER OF OLIVE AND |
| | DIANA WITH NO TREE CANOPY PROVIDED. THIS WAS A LOCATION |
| | SUGGESTED BY STAFF FOR THE RELOCATED LIVE OAK TREE. |
| | |
| | |
| | CONDITION 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. |
| | |
| | 2. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR |
| | THE PERMITTING AND INSTALLATION OF THE STREET TREES AND |
| | RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION APPROVED WITH |
| | THIS PETITION. |
| | |
| | 3. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR |
