ENGINEERING DMSION
Comments:
1. All comments requiring changes and/or corrections to the plans shall be
reflected on all appropriate sheets.
2. Please note that changes or revisions to these plans may generate additional
comments. Acceptance of these plans during the TRC process does not
ensure that additional comments may not be generated by the Commission
and at permit review.
3. The Gumbo Limbo proposed adjacent to the dumpster enclosure may need to
be relocated to provide vertical clearance for Solid Waste pickup.
4. It is recommended that the four mahoganies proposed along the south
property line be located in such a manner as not to conflict with the existing
black olives to the south.
5. It may be necessary to replace or relocate large canopy trees adjacent to light
fixtures to eliminate future shadowing on the parking surface (LDR, Chapter
23, Article II, Section A. 1.b).
UTILITIES
Comments:
6. All utility easements shall be shown on the site plan and landscape plans (as
well as the Water and Sewer Plans) so that we may determine which
appurtenances, trees or shrubbery may interfere with utilities. In general,
palm trees will be the only tree species allowed within utility easements.
Canopy trees may be planted outside of the easement so that roots and
branches will not impact those utilities within the easement in the foreseeable
future. The LDR, Chapter 7.5, Article I, Section 18.1 gives public utilities
the authority to remove any trees that interfere with utility services, either in

utility easements or public rights-of-way.

8. This major site plan modification request is to amend condition of approval
g45 from COUS 01-007. Condition of approval g45 states, "Along the west
landscape buffer within the utility easement, the applicant shall replace the
proposed Sabal Palm trees with Royal Palm trees (at same specifications).
In addition, the .4reca Palm trees and appropriate shrub material shall be
installed at a height that will function as a significant lower-to-midlevel
visual buffer. The landscape material proposed in said west landscape buffer
shall be continued to the southwest corner of the subject site. The }Vest
Indies Mahogany trees proposed on the west landscape buffer shall be
installed at a more "mature" height and will be planted tip-to-tip. A mixture
of "mature" Royal Palm trees and ''mature" Live Oak trees shall be
installed along the north and east property lines". The remaining 44
conditions of approval would still be applicable.
9. As with any request for major site plan modification, a new signed and sealed
survey (within 6 months) is required. Copies not permitted.

10. The proposed survey shows a new property line that separates Parcel "A"
from Parcel "B". Staff does not recognize this line because the original
survey (that was submitted with COUS 01-007) showed the subject property
as one (1) parcel. Approval of the proposed survey submitted with this
request for major site plan modification implies that the project meets
setbacks, parking, lot coverage, cross-parking, cross-access, etc. More
information would be required for staffto make this determination.
11. The landscape plan that was last reviewed and approved by the City
Commission was dated February 11, 2002. These are the officially
recognized plans despite any changes that have been made during the
permitting process. Therefore, the proposed landscape plan (dated March 9,
2004) will be compared with.the ones approved by the City Commission.
12. On the landscape plan, ensure that the plant quantifies match between the
tabular data and the graphic illustration.
13. All trees, if proposed as trees, must be at least 12 feet in height and three (3)
caliper inches at the time of their installation (Chapter 7.5, Article H, Section
5.C.2.). This would apply to the Silver Buttonwood, Japanese Fern Palm, and
Glacous Cassia trees.
14. According to Chapter 7.5, Article H, Section 5.D. of the Land Development
Regulations, trees cannot be spaced more than 30 feet apart if planted within
landscape buffers that are adjacent to rights-of-way (i.e. Congress Avenue
and Woolbright Road). Clustering of trees is permitted, however, the
proposed plan shows large gaps between the clusters and this does not meet
the intent of the code. Add more trees to "fill in the gaps".
15. Staff recommends that the parking lot pole lights west of the buildings be
reduced in height from the proposed 30-foot height, which can be easily
screened from the residential property to the west by the proposed
landscaping, that landscaping height and spacing be improved to
appropriately screen these 30 foot tall light fixtures, or shields be placed on
the light fixtures in order to meet the intent of the previous two (2)
recommendations.
