| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: TRANSIT VILLAGE Z22040014 |
| | MAY 10, 2022 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | |
| | 1. SECTION 94-448 (D)(3) REQUIRES NATIVE TREES AND |
| | PALMS 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 ARBORISTS REPORT RATING |
| | THE CONDITION AND RELOCATION POTENTIAL FOR THE NATIVE |
| | TREES AND PALMS. THE TREE DISPOSITION MUST INDICATE |
| | WHETHER THE TREE WILL BE PRESERVED, RELOCATED OR |
| | REMOVED. |
| | 2. PROVIDE THE INDIVIDUAL AND TOTAL CANOPY MITIGATION |
| | DUE FOR ANY PROPOSED REMOVALS. TREES PROPOSED TO BE |
| | REMOVED WITH A CANOPY DIAMETER OF 20 FEET OR MORE |
| | SHOULD HAVE THE MITIGATION SQUARE FOOTAGE CALCULATED |
| | BASED ON THE ACTUAL DIAMETER. TREES LESS THAN 20 FEET |
| | CANOPY DIAMETER AND PALMS SHOULD SHOW THE CATEGORY |
| | MITIGATION DUE. |
| | |
| | 3. PROVIDE A DIAGRAM OF THE REQUIRED AND PROVIDED |
| | PUBLIC AND PRIVATE OPEN SPACE AREAS FOR THE ZONING |
| | DISTRICT. IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF OPEN SPACE AS ALLOWED BY |
| | TABLE IV-7 AND DEFINITIONS IN 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 ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. LANDSCAPE PLANS MUST |
| | MATCH THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS AND CLEARLY IDENTIFY THE |
| | OPEN SPACE TYPE THEN DEMONSTRATE HOW THE REQUIREMENTS |
| | OF THAT TYPE ARE MET. |
| | TERRACE IS IDENTIFIED AS THE PRIVATE OPEN SPACE TYPE ON |
| | SHEET L002, BUT OTHER LABELS LIKE PLAZA FOR LEVEL 2 AND |
| | ROOFTOP PLAZA FOR LEVEL 4 APPEAR ON THE OTHER SHEETS. |
| | LEVEL 9 IS LABELED AS TERRACE BUT HAS THE |
| | CHARACTERISTICS OF ROOFTOP GARDEN. |
| | IN SUMMARY, THE REQUIRED OPEN SPACE NEEDS TO BE |
| | QUANTIFIED, IDENTIFIED AS TO THE TYPE, AND ALL |
| | REQUIREMENTS NEED TO BE SHOWN FOR THAT OPEN SPACE TYPE. |
| | |
| | |
| | 4. ALL OPEN SPACE TYPES REQUIRING TREE CANOPY MUST SHOW |
| | THE TREE CANOPY SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR TREE TYPES BASED ON |
| | TABLE IV-8 AND PROVIDE THE TOTAL. |
| | |
| | |
| | 5. IDENTIFY RELOCATED TREES OR PALMS ON THE PLANT LIST |
| | AND COUNT THEM TOWARD THE REQUIRED TREES IF THEY ARE TO |
| | BE USED ON SITE. |
| | |
| | 6. PROVIDE INFORMATION ON THE REDUCTION OF THE GREEN |
| | SCREEN AREA FROM WHAT WAS APPROVED BY COMPARISON OF THE |
| | SQUARE FOOTAGE FROM THE ORIGINAL APPROVAL AND WHAT IS |
| | PROPOSED. PROVIDE DETAILS ON THE STRUCTURE AND THE |
| | PLANT MATERIAL. |
| | |
| | 7. THE AREA WITHIN THE BUS LOOP IS PROPOSED TO HAVE |
| | MOSAIC TILE RATHER THAN THE PLANTINGS ORIGINALLY |
| | APPROVED. DESCRIBE HOW THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE IMPROVED |
| | WITHIN THE BUS LOOP. |
| | |
| | 8. LANDSCAPE SHEETS ARE IN TOO SMALL A SCALE TO CLEARLY |
| | IDENTIFY ALL PLANT MATERIAL. NEED TO BE SHOWN ON |
| | SEPARATE SHEETS AT A LARGER SCALE. |
| | |
| | 9. ARTIFICIAL TURF AREAS PROPOSED MUST MEET THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 94-451, INCLUDING ALL AREAS |
| | THAT ARE ALLOWED BY CODE MUST NOT BE VISIBLE FROM A |
| | ROAD OR STREET. |
| | |
| | |
| | 10. PROVIDE CALCULATIONS FOR REQUIRED STREET TREES AT |
| | MAXIMUM SPACING EVERY 30 FEET OR PORTION THEREOF FOR |
| | EACH STREETSCAPE LENGTH, AND SHOW THE NUMBER PROVIDED |
| | PER SECTION 94-113 AND 94-116. THE BANYAN STREETSCAPE |
| | IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE INCLUDED ON THE PLANS TO SHOW |
| | THE INTEGRATION OF THIS PROJECT WITH THE STREETSCAPE. |
| | |
| | 11. EXPLAIN IF THE EXISTING FPL TRANSMISSION LINES WILL |
| | STAY IN PLACE OR BE RELOCATED. |
| | |
| | 12. SHOW ALL EXISTING AND PROPOSED WATER AND SEWER AND |
| | DRAINAGE LINES ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN. SHOW LOCATIONS OF |
| | BACKFLOWS AND ADJUST LOCATIONS OF UTILITY LINES TO |

| | SPECIES IN THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF SOUTH FLORIDA |
| | WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WATERWISE SOUTH FLORIDA |
| | LANDSCAPES. PROVIDE THE ACTUAL PERCENTAGE BASED ON THE |
| | PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | |
| | 15. PROVIDE SCREENING HEDGES FOR ALL GROUND MOUNTED |
| | VALVES AND EQUIPMENT AND ADD A NOTE THAT ALL EQUIPMENT |
| | WILL BE SCREENED. |
| | |
| | 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. |
