| 2023-05-10 16:32:34 | PLEASE ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1) THE TREE DISPOSITION LIST AND PLAN INCLUDED WITH THE |
| | TREE ALTERATION PERMIT INCLUDE 21 NATIVE TREES AND |
| | PALMS THAT ARE LISTED FOR RELOCATION OR REMOVAL. THESE |
| | INCLUDE TWO BLACK OLIVE TREES AND THREE COCONUT PALMS |
| | ALONG SOUTH ROSEMARY AVENUE AND NINE SILVER BUTTONWOOD |
| | TREES, FIVE SABAL PALMS AND TWO COCOANUT PALMS ALONG |
| | THE FEC TRACKS. BLACK OLIVE TREES AND COCOANUT PALMS |
| | ARE NOT NATIVE, SO THE TREE DISPOSITION LIST MUST BE |
| | UPDATED ACCORDINGLY. THIS REDUCES THE COUNT TO 14 |
| | NATIVE TREES AND PALMS. |
| | |
| | 2) THE TREE DISPOSITION LIST PROVIDES A COLUMN FOR |
| | HEALTH CONDITION PERCENTAGE AND ONE FOR OBSERVATIONS; |
| | HOWEVER, THE CITY REQUIRES THAT THE TREE QUALITY BE |
| | CATEGORIZED AS ???GOOD, FAIR OR POOR??? BY YOUR |
| | CERTIFIED ARBORIST WITH JUSTIFICATION FOR THE RATING. |
| | PLEASE HAVE THE TABLE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY FOR THE |
| | NATIVE TREES (BOTH ONES DESIGNATED TO REMAIN AND TO BE |
| | REMOVED AND/OR RELOCATED). THE CITY'S LANDSCAPE CODE |
| | REQUIRES THAT ANY NATIVE TREES AND PALMS IN GOOD |
| | CONDITION MUST BE PRESERVED ON SITE OR RELOCATED. |
| | |
| | 3) STAFF HAD PREVIOUSLY MADE THE COMMENT THAT THE TREES |
| | AND PALMS ALONG THE FEC TRACKS SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE |
| | DURING THE DEMOLITION IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A VISUAL |
| | BUFFER TO THE EAST. AFTER REVIEWING THE PROXIMITY OF |
| | THE TREES TO THE PROPERTY LINE AND THE EXISTING GARAGE |
| | WALL, TO INCLUDE THE ABILITY TO PLACE A SILT AND |
| | CONSTRUCTION FENCE, STAFF HAS DETERMINED THAT LEAVING |
| | THE TREES AND PALMS IN PLACE IS NOT VIABLE. THE |
| | PREFERRED OPTION IS THE RELOCATION OF THE NATIVE TREES |
| | AND PALMS IN THIS AREA. |
| | |
| | 4) THE TREE DISPOSITION LIST IDENTIFIES 7 OF THE 14 |
| | NATIVE TREES AND PALMS FOR RELOCATION; HOWEVER, IT IS |
| | DOES NOT LIST THE QUALITY OF THE TREES, SO STAFF CANNOT |
| | VERIFY HOW MANY OF THE 14 TREES AND PALMS SHOULD BE |
| | RELOCATED BASED ON THEIR QUALITY. UPON DESIGNATION OF |
| | THE QUALITY, ANY TREES OR PALMS THAT ARE DESIGNATED AS |
| | GOOD OR FAIR SHALL BE ASSESSED BY THE CERTIFIED |
| | ARBORIST IN THEIR REPORT AS TO THE VIABILITY OF MOVING |
| | THE TREES OR PALMS, TO INCLUDE THE TIME FRAME NECESSARY |
| | TO MOVE THE TREES AND PALMS. THIS SHALL REPORT SHALL BE |
| | PROVIDED SO THAT STAFF CAN DETERMINE IF CITY LOCATIONS |
| | ARE AVAILABLE FOR RELOCATION. ALTERNATIVE LOCATIONS MAY |
| | BE PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT. A PLAN SHOWING THE FINAL |
| | TREE LOCATIONS NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED AS PART OF THE TREE |
| | ALTERATION PERMIT. |
| | |
| | 5) ANY TREES AND PALMS THAT ARE NOT PRESERVED ON SITE |
| | OR RELOCATED WILL REQUIRE PAYMENT INTO THE CITY'S |
| | LANDSCAPE TRUST FUND. THE FEE AMOUNT WILL BE DETERMINED |
| | ONCE THE FINAL RELOCATION VS REMOVAL DISPOSITION IS |
| | DETERMINED AND MUST BE PAID PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF |
| | THE TREE ALTERATION PERMIT. IN THE ABSENCE OF AN |
| | APPROVED LANDSCAPE PLAN FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE |
| | SITE, THERE IS NO MITIGATION CREDIT GIVEN FOR TREES |
| | ADDED TO THE SITE AFTER THE ISSUANCE OF THE TREE |
| | ALTERATION PERMIT. |
