| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: OKEE PLAZA Z22050024 |
| | JUNE 7, 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. THE |
| | TREE DISPOSITION TABLE INDICATES THE SABAL PALMS ARE IN |
| | FAIR CONDITION. IF THEY ARE NOT GOOD CANDIDATES TO |
| | SURVIVE RELOCATION , THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE RELOCATED. |
| | |
| | 2. ADD A COLUMN TO THE DISPOSITION CHART FOR MITIGATION |
| | DUE. SINCE ALL LIVE OAKS ARE LESS THAN 20 FEET CANOPY |
| | DIAMETER, THE MITIGATION IS 300 SQ. FT. FOR A CATEGORY |
| | ONE SPECIES. SABAL PALMS ARE CATEGORY 3, SO 100 SQ. FT. |
| | OF MITIGATION DUE. ILEX CASSINE IS CATEGORY 2 SO 100 |
| | SQ. FT. OF MITIGATION DUE. ADD MITIGATION REQUIRED FOR |
| | A TOTAL DUE. PROVIDE THE MITIGATION CREDITS BASED ON |
| | NEW TREES AND PALMS ADDED FROM THE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | 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 INTENT |
| | OF THE CODE IS TO PROVIDE TREE CANOPY FOR PAVED AREAS |
| | TO REDUCE HEAT ISLAND EFFECTS. AS THERE IS EXCESS |
| | PARKING FOR THE SITE, THIS AREA OF THE PARKING LOT THAT |
| | IS BEING MODIFIED CAN BE BROUGHT INTO CONFORMITY WITH |
| | THE CODE REQUIREMENTS BY EXPANDING THE 3 ISLANDS IN THE |
| | EAST ROW OF PARKING AND 2 ISLANDS IN THE WEST ROW AND |
| | CHANGING THE PALM TO ANOTHER LIVE OAK. |
| | |
| | 4. CHANGE THE MULCH NOTE ON SHEET L-2.0 TO USE OF |
| | CYPRESS MULCH IS PROHIBITED. |
| | |
| | 5. THE SANITARY SEWER LINE IS PROPOSED WHERE IT RUNS |
| | THROUGH THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND WITH TREES. THIS SHOULD BE |
| | RELOCATED TO AVOID 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 |
| | SERVICES DEPARTMENT, PLANNING DIVISION. |
