| | 561-822-1462 |
| | PROJECT: GRAMERCY PARK PBC Z22090021 |
| | DECEMBER 21, 2022 |
| | I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE REFERENCED PETITION, AND |
| | PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | |
| | 1. SATISFIED. THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE PARK IS |
| | CONSERVATION ZONING. THIS LIMITS THE ACTIONS THAT CAN |
| | BE TAKEN WITHIN THIS AREA. PER THE CONSERVATION ELEMENT |
| | OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND SECTIONS 94-373 AND |
| | 94-377 OF THE ZONING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS |
| | AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WOULD BE REQUIRED PRIOR TO |
| | APPROVAL OF ANY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THIS PARCEL TO |
| | DETERMINE THE CLASSIFICATION AND CONDITION OF THE |
| | ECOSYSTEM AND IDENTIFY ANY THREATENED, ENDANGERED OR |
| | RARE SPECIES. THE PASSIVE MULCH PATH ROUTED AROUND ANY |
| | EXISTING TREES AND THE REMOVAL OF PROHIBITED INVASIVE |
| | EXOTIC SPECIES WOULD BE THE ONLY MODIFICATIONS ALLOWED |
| | WITHOUT THIS VERIFICATION. |
| | 2. PARTIALLY SATISFIED. 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 PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED. |
| | LIVE OAK TREES SHOULD BE RELOCATED. |
| | THE 6 LIVE OAK TREES ARE LISTED IN GOOD CONDITION BUT |
| | ARE INDICATED AS BEING REMOVED. |
| | STAFF MUST HAVE AN ARBORISTS REPORT DOCUMENTING WHY THE |
| | TREES CANNOT BE RELOCATED. |
| | 3. MAKE THE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS TO THE TREE |
| | DISPOSITION LIST: |
| | ??? SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE CANOPY DIAMETER IN FEET FOR |
| | ANY PROPOSED REMOVALS. LIVE OAK, SILVER BUTTONWOOD, |
| | SLASH PINE AND DAHOON HOLLY. |
| | ??? SATISFIED. THE KEY FOR THE RELOCATES AND REMOVALS |
| | IS NOT CLEAR. REMOVALS SHOULD BE SHOWN WITH AN X TO |
| | CLEARLY INDICATE PROPOSED REMOVAL. |
| | ??? SATISFIED. PROVIDE THE METHODOLOGY FOR THE |
| | DETERMINATION OF TREES TO BE SURVEYED AND INVENTORIED |
| | WITHIN THE CONSERVATION ZONING PORTION. |
| | 4. NOT SATISFIED. IDENTIFY RELOCATED TREES OR PALMS ON |
| | THE PLANT LIST AND COUNT THEM TOWARD THE REQUIRED |
| | TREES. |
| | ADD THE 12 SABAL PALMS AS RELOCATES TO THE PLANT LIST. |
| | IF ANY OTHER TREES ARE TO BE RELOCATED, THEY MUST ALSO |
| | BE LISTED IN A SECTION ON THE PLANT LIST. |
| | |
| | 5. SATISFIED. SILVER BUTTONWOOD, BLACK IRONWOOD AND |
| | TABEBUIA TREES MUST MEET THE MINIMUM 12 FOOT HEIGHT |
| | REQUIREMENT. |
| | |
| | 6. SATISFIED. SUGGEST THAT THE FENCE BE PLACED AT THE |
| | PROPERTY LINE INSTEAD OF 5 FEET INSIDE THE PROPERTY |
| | LINE. |

| | CONSERVATION ZONING DESIGNATION. THE DUMPSTER ENCLOSURE |
| | MUST ALSO BE ADJUSTED TO BE WITHIN THE ROS DESIGNATED |
| | PARCEL. |
| | |
| | 8. SATISFIED. PER SECTION 94-443(C), TERMINAL LANDSCAPE |
| | ISLANDS ARE REQUIRED AT THE END OF EACH ROW OF PARKING. |
| | THERE ARE 2 LOCATIONS OF NEW PARKING THAT DO NOT HAVE |
| | THE REQUIRED TERMINAL ISLAND OR REQUIRED SHADE TREE. |
| | |
| | 9. SATISFIED. SECTION 94-443(C)(3) REQUIRES THAT A |
| | MINIMUM OF 75 PERCENT OF ALL TREES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO |
| | BE PLANTED WITHIN THE INTERIOR OF AN OFF STREET PARKING |
| | AREA SHALL BE CATEGORY 1 SHADE TREES. SHOW THE |
| | PERCENTAGE OF CATEGORY 1 TREES PROVIDED FOR THE |
| | REQUIRED LANDSCAPE AREAS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 10. SATISFIED. 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 RESOLVE CONFLICTS WITH EXISTING AND PROPOSED |
| | TREES AND LANDSCAPING. |

| | PLANT SPECIES. A MINIMUM OF 60 PERCENT OF PLANT |
| | MATERIAL ADDED SHALL BE FLORIDA NATIVE OR DROUGHT |
| | TOLERANT SPECIES SELECTED FROM THE CITY LIST OR THE |
| | LIST OF SPECIES IN THE MOST RECENT EDITION OF SOUTH |
| | FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT WATERWISE SOUTH |
