| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: 1890 PALM BEACH LAKES Z22030025 |
| | OCTOBER 28, 2022 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | |
| | 1. 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 AN ARBORIST REPORT SHOWING |
| | CONDITION AND RELOCATION POTENTIAL FOR THE FOR THE |
| | ROYAL PALM #21 PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED. |
| | |
| | 2. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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. SATISFIED. 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 INTERIOR |
| | LANDSCAPE SQUARE FOOTAGE. |
| | |
| | |
| | REVISE THE GREEN SPACE EXHIBIT TO SEPARATE THE |
| | LANDSCAPE BUFFERS INTO A SEPARATE AREA AND PROVIDE THE |
| | SQUARE FOOTAGE. SHOW THE SQUARE FOOTAGE TOTAL FOR THE |
| | INTERIOR LANDSCAPE IN THE PARKING AREA. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 6/7/22: |
| | |
| | 5. SATISFIED. CHANGE THE FOXTAIL PALMS TO A MORE |
| | SUSTAINABLE SPECIES. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. CORRECT THE LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS CHART |
| | FOR THE BUFFER TREE COUNTS FOR THE SOUTH PROPERTY LINE |
| | AND THE TOTALS TO 35. |
| | |
| | |
| | 7. SATISFIED. PLEASE EXPLAIN IF THE GUMBO LIMBO WEST OF |
| | THE DUMPSTER IS BEING COUNTED TOWARD THE 13 TREES |
| | REQUIRED IN THE SOUTH BUFFER. |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 10/28/22: |
| | 8. THE CHANGE IN CONFIGURATION OF THE GREASE TRAPS AND |
| | THE SEWER LINE CREATE CONFLICTS WITH REQUIRED TREE |
| | LOCATIONS SHOWN ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. THERE IS ALSO AN |
| | ADDITIONAL GREASE TRAP SHOWN CONFLICTING WITH A TREE. |
| | ADJUST THE LOCATIONS OF THE UTILITIES TO AVOID |
| | CONFLICTS AND THE NEED FOR ROOT BARRIERS AND PROVIDE |
| | UPDATED CIVIL AND LANDSCAPE PLANS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 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. |
