portion of the fixture from off the premises.
• Maximum Foot-candle and Illumination Levels. Permanent off-street lighting levels for all
multiple-family residential and non-residential uses shall not exceed five and nine-tenths (5.9)
foot-candles for any spot location reading.
• Off-Street Parking Lots. A minimum average light level of one (1) foot-candle shall be provided,
with no more than ten percent (10%) of the spot readings below one (1) foot-candle and none
below one-half (½) foot-candle. Lighting fixtures shall be energy efficient and automatically
controlled by a photoelectric switch or other device acceptable to the City Engineer and are to
remain on from dusk to one (1) hour after closing or 2:00 a.m., whichever is later.

Landscape Comments
1. Part III, Chapter 4, Article II, Section 4. A.3.a. Tree Caliper
The caliper of all trees shall be a minimum of four (4) inches at the time of installation. The
caliper shall be measured no higher than six (6) inches above the ground. No minimum caliper
size is required for palm trees. However, palm trees shall have a minimum of six (6) feet of clear
wood at the time of planting. All trees and palms that don't meet these requirements will not be
count towards the landscape requirements.
The landscape plan must be revised to indicate the caliper (minimum 4") of each tree, rather
than the diameter at breast height (DBH).
Response: All proposed trees that are intended to address code requirements have been revised
to a 4” caliper minimum specification.
2. Part III, Chapter 4, Article II, Section 4. A.1. Native and Drought Tolerant Species.
Plant materials to be used are limited to those classified as "low" and "medium" for watering
needs in the publication "Waterwise South Florida Landscapes," published by the South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD). The maximum extent possible, plant selection should
emphasize waterwise or Florida-Friendly plants. Please revise the Plant Schedule to reflect this
correct classification in a way that “low” and “medium” represent watering needs (e.g.“low”
should indicate plants that require minimal irrigation).
Response: The landscape material schedule on sheet LP.1 has been updated to include the
watering needs classification per the SFWMD Waterwise publication.
3. Clarify whether any trees are proposed for removal. If so, they must be clearly identified on the
plans. If multiple trees are affected, a tree disposition plan or tree survey should be provided. In
addition, submit a mitigation plan and table demonstrating compliance with Part III, Chapter 4,
Article I, Section 4.C (Mitigation of Existing Trees and Palms).
Response: A tree disposition has been provided with this resubmittal that includes all trees in
the affected area. Mitigation replacement calculations have been prepared per section 4.C.
4. Clarify why palms are listed within the “Tree” table. The table should be corrected to accurately
separate trees and palms.

trees on the landscape plan.

than five (5) feet in width
- Shrubs. Foundation landscaping shall consist of shrubs installed in a continuous row or within
ten (10)-foot wide clusters spaced a maximum of fifteen (15) feet apart.

- Trees. Tree sizes within foundation landscape strips shall be proportional to building heights
and massing; planted no less than one-half (½) the building height when buildings are forty-five
(45) feet in height or less.
Response: Acknowledged, required foundation plantings have been provided for the proposed
clubhouse, maintenance building, and restroom building.
6. Vehicular Encroachment. Landscaped areas shall require protection from vehicular
encroachment by wheel stops, curbs, and/or decorative bollards. All landscaped areas with trees
adjacent to sidewalks or vehicular use areas may require the use of root deflector products to
prevent damage from root growth. All landscape areas containing trees and vegetation shall be
first filled with city inspected clean fill (soil).
Response: Acknowledged, all proposed landscape areas in the parking lot are protected from
vehicle encroachment by either wheel stops or raised curbs.
7. Lawn and Sod Use. While sod/turf areas provide practical benefits in landscaping, they
represent the majority of a site's irrigation demand when irrigated and are considered a high
water-use hydrozone. To promote sustainable landscaping and reduce unnecessary water
consumption sod/turf should be limited to areas for passive or active recreation, or
drainage/stormwater management areas where alternatives aren’t feasible.
For all other areas, sod should be replaced with drought-tolerant plants, mulch, or natural
covers (e.g., pine needles). Sod areas must have separate irrigation zones to reduce water
consumption. (Part III, Chapter 4, Article II, Sections 4.A.3.d)
Response: Open sod areas have been reduced and replaced with more drought-tolerant planting
beds. The total sod area within the scope of work has been included in the landscape
requirements chart on the landscape plan.
8. Required Landscaping. Off-street parking areas, excluding those spaces located within parking
garages, shall have at least twenty-five (25) square feet of parking lot landscape islands (e.g.,
green space) per parking space.
- Large Islands. Landscape islands sized greater than two hundred twenty-four (224) square feet
in area are defined as "large islands" and shall not be less than fifteen (15) feet in width in any
dimension. Each large island shall contain a minimum of one (1) tree, classified as a large tree. A
minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the landscape islands shall be large islands within
developments that are required to have up to two hundred forty-nine (249) parking spaces.
- Small Islands. The remaining required green space within off-street parking areas shall be
allocated to "small islands", which are defined as landscape islands sized at least one hundred
fifty (150) square feet in area and no less than ten (10) feet in width in any dimension. Each
small island shall contain one (1) tree classified as a "small" tree;
Plantings. All landscape islands shall be entirely planted with shrub species;

Update plans accordingly in order to meet the above requirements and provide the total square
footage calculation of all landscape islands within the clubhouse amenity area, separated into
“large islands” and “small islands.” This calculation should be based on the parking requirements
for the entire clubhouse amenity area, as explained above.
Please note that none of the newly proposed landscape islands meet the minimum width
requirements: 10 feet for small islands and 15 feet for large islands.
Response: All new landscape islands added in the parking lot have been dimensioned on the site
plan and fully landscaped on the revised landscape plan. All new islands provided along the new
clubhouse and covered pickleball are a minimum of 10 feet wide, whereas the islands that were
added to create a walkway through the parking lot are between 22 and 24 feet wide (including
sidewalks).

purchase and installation of any art. Prior to submitting an AIPP Application to schedule an Art
Advisory Board meeting, the Applicant must first hold a Public Workshop and submit these
findings with the AIPP Application, including the required documentation for review and
approval by the Art Advisory Board. Please contact staff for additional information regarding the
submittal guidelines.
Early submission of the proposed artwork is STRONGLY encouraged to avoid project delays,
holds on the permit issuance, or delays of the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy or
Completion. The applicant may choose at any time to provide a Payment-In-Lieu of a Public Art
Project; however, once a payment is made to the Public Art Fund, no refunds are permitted
pursuant to City Code Part III, Chapter 4, Article XIV. Sec. 2.C.5.
Response: Per coordination with reviewer, this project is exempt from the Art in Public Places
requirement as this application does not introduce new amenities to the club. This racquet
complex project is a redevelopment of the existing amenity facilities of Hunters Run, which is an
existing private residential development. The new clubhouse structure is intended to replace
the original tennis clubhouse building that was demolished last year. The only new buildings
that are not direct replacements to previous buildings are the maintenance building and
restroom building; both uses previously operated out of the tennis clubhouse. The intended use
of this site area is not changing with the proposed development, this project is intended to serve
more so as an upgrade of the existing facilities for the club’s membership.
Thanks for your consideration of our comment response letter. Please don’t hesitate to contact our
office if you have any questions or need further clarification.
Sincerely,
