(Agent) hereby requests a variance from Article II, Section 7.5-35,(K) General Landscaping for Cluster and Multi- Family Housing Developments. "General landscaping for cluster and multi-family housing developments. In addition to the landscaping required by other sections of this code, the following number of trees are required for open common areas: A minimum of one tree for each one thousand five hundred (1,500) square feet (or fraction thereof) of developed area. Trees that are preserved on site in open common area shall receive credit against the landscape area requirements. It is the intent of this section to create a park-like environment. This section is included in order to create privacy, shaded areas and an aesthetically pleasing environment, and in determining the validity of any site plan in accordance with Section 7.5-36, the community appearance board shall take these factors into consideration." The submitted landscape plan depicts more than the required quantity of trees (689 trees required, 778 trees provided). The proposed plan depicts trees distributed across the entire site that would normally be installed in the common areas in a conventional multi-family development. This is a unique 7301-A West Palmetto Park Road.

The creation of fee simple lots will reduce common area available for planting that qualifies as plantings within common areas. The look of the project will be exactly as a conventional multi-family product, the only difference is that the homeowner's association documents will reflect a much smaller common area due to the transfer of fee simple title of the unit plus land around the unit. The Association's restrictive covenants will make the trees planted within the fee simple lot the property and responsibility of the homeowner's association and maintained as a part of the common landscaping within the project. These documents will be submitted for City review. This variance does not diminish the number of required trees but, due to the unique nature of the transference of title to the individual home owners, it will permit the planting of trees within private areas due to the minimum amount of common area remaining after the fee simple transference of lots. I am enclosing a check in the amount of $100.00 as fee for the variance processing. Please contact me if I can be of any further assistance or if I can provide further information.
