| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESPONSES TO REVIEW COMMENTS IN WRITTEN |
| | FORMAT. |
| | |
| | 1. PLANS THAT WERE SUBMITTED ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH |
| | WHAT IS OUT IN THE FIELD. THE ORIENTATION OF THE |
| | PARKING STALLS, ISLANDS AND ACCESSWAYS AND THE GREEN |
| | AREA AROUND THE BUILDING TO BE DEMOLISHED IS NOT |
| | CORRECTLY SHOWN ON THE PLAN. ALL PLANS SHALL BE |
| | CONSISTENT. |
| | |
| | 2. A LANDSCAPE STRIP ALREADY EXISTS ON THE NEIGHBORING |
| | PROPERTY ALONG THE EAST PERIMETER. THERE IS AN ACCESS |
| | AGREEMENT BETWEEN THIS PROPERTY AND THE NEIGHBORING |
| | PROPERTY TO THE EAST. EITHER THIS AGREEMENT NEEDS TO BE |
| | TERMINATED OR THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE HONORED. THE |
| | REQUIRED GREEN AREA THAT MUST BE MITIGATED SHALL BE |
| | INCORPORATED ELSEWHERE ON THE SITE. PLEASE PROVIDE THE |
| | SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE GREEN AREA TO BE REMOVED AND THE |
| | SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE AREAS TO BE ADDED. PARKING STALLS |
| | ARE CURRENTLY 10' X 20'. THE CITY STANDARD IS 8 1/2 ' X |
| | 18'. IF THE LOT IS RESTRIPED, MORE PARKING CAN BE |
| | ACCOMMODATED AND ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPE AREAS CAN BE |
| | ADDED IF THE SIZE OF THE SPACES ARE REDUCED. |
| | |
| | 3. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3) (A), EACH ROW OF |
| | PARKING SPACES SHALL BE TERMINATED BY LANDSCAPED |
| | ISLANDS OF NOT LESS THAN FIVE FEET IN WIDTH, EXCLUDING |
| | THE REQUIRED CURBING, AND NOT LESS THAN THE LENGTH OF |
| | THE ADJACENT PARKING STALL. THE LANDSCAPE ISLAND SHALL |
| | CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE. A |
| | LANDSCAPE ISLAND SHALL BE INCORPORATED AT THE SOUTHEAST |
| | CORNER OF THE AREA OF RECONSTRUCTION. (THE PARKING ROW |
| | ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING DOES NOT CURRENTLY |
| | EXIST). |
| | |
| | 4. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3) (B), ONE INTERIOR |
| | LANDSCAPE ISLAND SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR EVERY TEN |
| | PARKING SPACES OR FRACTION THEREOR AND EACH ISLAND |
| | SHALL CONTAIN AT LEAST ONE SHADE OR FLOWERING TREE. |
| | |
| | 5. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (3) (C), WHEN DIVIDER |
| | MEDIANS ARE USED, THEY SHALL FORM A CONTINUOUS |
| | LANDSCAPED STRIP BETWEEN ABUTTING ROWS OF PARKING |
| | SPACES. THE MINIMUM WIDTH OF SUCH A DIVIDER MEDIAN |
| | SHALL BE FIVE FEET. SHADE OR FLOWERING TREES WITHIN A |
| | DIVIDER SHALL BE PLANTED AT 30-FOOT INTERVALS. THE |
| | DIVIDER BETWEEN THE TWO PARKING ROWS, WEST OF THE |
| | BUILDING TO BE DEMOLISHED COULD BE CUT OUT AND |
| | LANDSCAPED. THIS ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR AND TERMINAL |
| | ISLANDS WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE TO MITIGATE THE LOSS OF |
| | GREEN AREA AND BRING THE PROPERTY CLOSER INTO |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH MINIMAL STANDARDS. |
| | |
| | 6. TWO COPIES OF A LANDSCAPE PLAN ARE REQUIRED TO BE |
| | SUBMITTED WITH THE LANDSCAPE PERMIT. THE INFORMATION |
| | REQUIRED TO BE ON THE LANDSCAPE PLAN IS DEFINED IN |
| | SECTION 94-448 (D). IN ADDITION, ALL LANDSCAPED AREAS |
| | ARE REQUIRED TO RECEIVE 120% COVERAGE AND AN IRRIGATION |
| | PERMIT WILL BE REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 7. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-443 (C) (5) (A), LANDSCAPE |
| | AREAS SHALL BE SEPARATED FROM VEHICULAR USE AREAS BY |
| | NONMOUNTABLE, CONCRETE CURBING OF THE TYPE |
| | CHARACTERIZED AS "TYPE D". |
| | |
| | 8. PURSUANT TO SECTION 94-446 (2), LANDSCAPING SHALL BE |
| | MAINTAINED IN GOOD CONDITION. ALL UNHEALTHY OR DEAD |
| | MATERIAL SHALL BE REPLACED WITHIN SIX MONTHS. PLEASE BE |
| | ADVISED THAT THE GRASS ALONG OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD IS |
| | ALMOST ALL WEED. PLEASE RESOD THE LANDSCAPE STRIP AND |
| | REPLACE ALL UNHEALTHY PLANT MATERIAL TO AVOID CODE |
| | ENFORCEMENT ISSUES. IN ADDTION, ONE TREE IS REQUIRED |
| | FOR EVERY THIRTY LINEAR FEET OR FRACTION THEREOF ALONG |
| | THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE. NO TREES CURRENTLY EXIST. IF |
| | YOU CHOOSE TO PLANT TREES, THEY MUST MEET FPL STANDARDS |
| | FOR PLANTING TREES NEAR OR UNDER POWER LINES. |
| | |
| | |
