ELEV. 7.0 Memo to File To: Stephen Mayer, Senior Planner Through: Mark Hendrickson, City Forester From: Ray Caranci, Forestry Technician Subject: PPUD- 06 -03 -07 Gardens Commerce Center Date: December 19,2006 I have reviewed the Land Development Regulations for the above referenced application and provide the following comments for the DRC meeting: In accordance with Section 78 -315 (c) of the LDR, Minimum size of landscape areas, no dimension less than five feet in width, measured from the inside of the curb. There are two parking lot islands on the south side of the property next to dumpster enclosures that are 4.5 and 4.8 feet wide. Please revise the plan to allow the minimum width of five feet for each island. 2. In accordance with Section 78- Additional open space calculations appear to be based on only 8 additional parking spaces, but should be based on total parking spaces above the actual required spaces (100 %), not the allowable excess (110 %). Please recalculate the additional open space required at 1.5 times the additional paved area. Also, where the extra open space is provided should be indicated on the plan. In accordance with Section 78 -306 of the LDR, all locations for proposed utilities, easements, underground drainage, and light fixtures shall be shown on the landscape plan to prevent possible conflicts. Based on the heavy landscaping to screen the buildings, and the limited space available to do so, there is concern that utilities may affect the placement of some of the landscaping. Please provide a letter of assurance from the utilities that the landscape plan will not change due to conflicts with said utilities. Also, please provide examples of site lighting fixtures to be installed to review for compatibility with landscaping. 4. With the two waivers requested for Section 78- 306(d), the buffers appear to still provide adequate screening for the west and southern property lines, but the views from I -95 to the west face of building three could be improved by adding more tall palms to screen the facade. In accordance with Section 78 -324 of the LDR, requiring installation and maintenance of roadway landscaping.The site could be greatly improved and beautified by adding a meandering sidewalk with additional landscaping on both sides of the sidewalk to be consistent with the sidewalk and landscaping south of the site. The applicant shall also maintain the landscaping and irrigation of the road shoulder. We support these waivers regarding landscaping buffers because there is no reduction in the required amount of landscape material, and more existing mature oaks will be preserved and used to enhance the southern buffer. The following comment is from GIS: The total open space area provided for Gardens Commerce Center is 1.59 acres or 36% which includes the detention area. The detention area is .22 acres in size. When the detention area is deducted from the total open space - 1.37 acres or 31% of open space used for landscape points is confirmed. The total amount of sod used on site was calculated at .64 acres or 27878.4 sf. The applicant is proposing to delete the amount of sod used within the detention from the sod calculations. The applicant also proposes to calculate the percentage of sod used against the total open space amount (includes detention area). The percentage of sod use should be calculated against the square footage of open space used for landscape points (59,677.2 sf). This would equate to 47% sod use on -site. 5. Please verify the correct calculations for the sod areas, and the open space used for landscape points calculations. Sod areas should be reduced to be not more than 40% of the open space. The above comments need to be addressed prior to scheduling for P &Z. Also, please understand that additional information may be requested, and staff may have additional comments as the review process continues. Lf INC.

(Note: This is waiver request #2 in the current review submittal) The applicant indicates that they are only requiring an additional 10 -foot encroachment as the code allows a five -foot encroachment. However, Sec. 78 -306 of the LDR refers to encroachment by utilities into landscape areas, or permitted overlap of utility easements. It does not, by right, grant the applicant the rights to those easements, as is implied in the applicant's response. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a 15 -foot encroachment over the entire existing utility easement. Please note we remain in support of the City's LDR requirements. 4. The applicant is requesting a waiver for the requirement for wheel stops for all parking stalls. The applicant request that wheel stops not be required where they have provided a 2 -foot (2.5 -foot measured from face of curb) vehicle overhang. Please note we remain in support of the City's LDR requirements. Note: The applicant has not requested a waiver from the requirement for wheel stops in the materials received for this revised submittal, although the applicant does not provide for wheel stops on the site plan. The applicant shall revise the plans, to show wheel stops for all parking spaces, or include a waiver from Section 78 -344 of the LDR, which specifies "Wheel stops, bumper stops, or non - mountable concrete curbing shall be installed within all parking spaces." In lieu of wheel stops, the applicant may utilize a type D curb and a 2.5 foot overhang area. If the parking space abuts a sidewalk, then the sidewalk shall be increased in width to accommodate the 2.5 foot overhang. If the parking space abuts a landscape area, then the 2.5 foot overhang area shall be sod only and is excluded from the open space calculations. The applicant is referred to Sections 78 -344 and 78 -315 of the LDR. The following waivers are requested in the materials received for this review. 5. See waiver #2 above. 6. See waiver #3 above. 7.
