Landscaping Findings of Compliance: The Growth Management Department staff has reviewed the application and finds it in compliance with the applicable Land Development Regulations regarding landscaping. The applicant has proposed construction of an industrial flex space complex. The applicant has submitted landscape plans that provide 1.26 acres of landscape area which equates to 26% of the 4.76 acres of development area to document compliance with Section 4.663.A.1., Land Development Regulations, Martin County, Fla. (2013). Pursuant to this regulation a minimum of 20% of the total development area shall be landscaped. Section 4.663.A.3.b. Land Development Regulations, Martin County, Fla. (2013) requires that all nonresidential developments provide at least one tree per 2,500 sq. ft. of site area: a total of 83 trees for this project.

The property borders residential developments along the north, east and south. The northern buffer may be reduced in half because there is 60-foot wide roadway separating the properties. A 15-foot wide buffer (half of a Type 3) is provided in addition to the existing ROW landscape areas. The applicant will provide an opaque 6-foot high fence along the east and south in addition to the vehicular use plantings and a 70-foot wide dry detention pond along the southern property border. There are existing 50-foot wide landscape buffers along the east and south provided by the adjacent multi-family residential community. Alterations cannot be made to the plans after final site plan approval. Any alteration may require an application to amend the affected approved plans. Page 6 of 14 Development Review Staff Report The applicant is cautioned to consider the placement of utilities and any underground or above ground site improvement that could cause a conflict with the landscaping and possibly cause a change or amendment. As-built landscape plans submitted prior to the release of a certificate of occupancy will be checked against the approved drawings. Inconsistencies may block the issuance of the certificate of occupancy and cause the applicant to begin the application process for a change or an amendment to the development order.
