| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: 1890 PALM BEACH LAKES Z22030025 |
| | APRIL 13, 2022 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | |
| | 1. 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 AN ARBORIST REPORT SHOWING CONDITION AND |
| | RELOCATION POTENTIAL FOR THE FOR THE ROYAL PALM #21 |
| | PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED. |
| | |
| | 2. PER SECTION 94-443 (C) (2) REQUIRES SHADE TREES. |
| | BUFFER TREES ARE PROPOSED THAT ARE NOT SHADE TREES AS |
| | DEFINED IN SECTION 94-611. UNLESS THERE IS A LIMITATION |
| | THAT CAN BE CITED, SHADE TREES MUST BE PROVIDED IN ALL |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFERS. |
| | |
| | 3. PER SECTION 94-443(C)(3)A. AND B., TERMINAL |
| | LANDSCAPE ISLANDS AND INTERIOR ISLANDS MUST HAVE AT |
| | LEAST 8 FEET WIDE LANDSCAPE AREA AND RUN THE FULL |
| | LENGTH OF THE ADJACENT PARKING SPACE. EACH AREA SHALL |
| | HAVE AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE PER ROW OF |
| | PARKING AND AN INTERIOR ISLAND MUST BE PROVIDED SO |
| | THERE ARE NO MORE THAN 10 SPACES IN A ROW. THE |
| | APPLICANT IS AVOIDING THIS REQUIREMENT BY NOT TREATING |
| | THE PAVED VACUUM SPACES AS PARKING SPACES. THE INTENT |
| | OF THE CODE IS TO PROVIDE TREE CANOPY FOR PAVED AREAS |
| | TO REDUCE HEAT ISLAND EFFECTS. THE PROPOSED PALMS AND |
| | SMALL TREES IN THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE DO NOT MEET THE |
| | INTENT OF THE CODE. STAFF RECOMMENDS SHADE TREES NEED |
| | BE ADDED TO THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE TO PROVIDE SHADE. |
| | |
| | 4. PROVIDE AN EXHIBIT SHOWING THE PARKING AREA SURFACE |
| | CALCULATIONS, PARKING SPACE AREAS AND LANDSCAPE AREAS |
| | PROVIDED TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH SECTIONS 94-443 |
| | (C)(3) AND (4). PROVIDE THE CALCULATIONS IN THE |
| | LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENT CHART. REFER TO FIGURE XIV-1. |
| | SHOW THE ACTUAL PROVIDED LANDSCAPE SQUARE FOOTAGE. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | 2. THE APPLICANT, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 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 AND ASSIGNS SHALL BE |
| | RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE ROAD RIGHT OF |
| | WAY LANDSCAPING AND IRRIGATION. THIS WILL BE THROUGH A |
| | SEPARATE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY. |
