There is one designated space per unit and the remaining spaces are designated for guests. Compling with the parking area landscaping (one island every ten spaces) would require a loss of parking.to the residents who already have an existing hardship. ■A wood fence ex sts on a portion of the northern property line and an existing landscape strip of 2-1/2' to 3' doe not meet the minimum of 5'required. The parking bays are at the Village minimum allowing no extra space to be dedicated to landscaping to meet the minimum of 5'. •The commercial properties to the east of Blair House are existing and between the properties the landscaping varies +- 6 to 7' in width at the parking area of which 2-1/2' to 3' is the Blair House property. 4o expansion of the planting strip in this area is possible, therefore we are requesting a 2' w fiver for this planting area. •The perimeter la dscape buffer along the NW boundary adjacent to Willow Road is required to be 10' in width and the existing landscape strip varies from +-2' to 9'. Meeting .the requirement in this location would require a parking space which would be a hardship. •The 5th waiver requested is the 60% indigenous vegetation requirement. The existing planting (trees, palms, shrt.bs) is @ 19% native. With proposed plantings the overall navtive percentage increases to 30% The existing plantings are all species from the South Florida Water Management Plant Guide and 85% of the species used are very hardy, salt tolerant and wind/drought resistant. There also exists a large variety of plants; namely 59 species. •The 6th waiver requested is to increase the maximum .50% rule of palms to 59% in this project. With th- addition of planting required along the northern buffer, palms would not encroach into the paved area. The addition of these palms increases the percentage to 59%. Because of these reasons, we are requesting the landscape waivers to Ordinance 377.

An application from George G. Gentile & Associates for review of landscape plans for Ordinance #377 compliance for the Jupiter Ambulance Service building, 395 Seabrook Road. Troy Holloway, Landscape Architect with George G. Gentile & Associates, reviewed the following requested waivers: • Access drive width should be 24' maximum, 36' is provided. Mr. Holloway explained that the required 24 ' access drive should be waived due to the importance of ingress/egress for the ambulances . • Landscape strip required should be 4' minimum, none is provided. Mr. Holloway explained that the required 4 ' strip should be waived due to the lack of room between the south wall of the garage and the south property line. This is done to provide the 24' , two-way access drive that is necessary to access the parking in the rear of the building. A 5' landscape buffer is also provided along the south property line to screen the south side of the garage. • Landscape strip required should be 10' minimum, none is provided.
