Response to comments/corrections for Flexible Standard Development Application
Project Address: 1390 Sunset Point Rd.Clearwater, FL 33755
RE:Suncoast Rehabilitation Center
1. Resubmitted cover page with 13 copies providing current owner's email and phone number.
2. Provided(second response page from engineer) updated drawings showing the parking lot
asphalt will be cut back 15 to allow shrubs and a 10 foot buffer.
3. A new property survey/tie survey is being submitted with this packet by a certified land
surveyor. l3 copies
4. Breakdown of two uses within gross floor area on application. First use of 24,472 square feet is
going to stay with Institutional(I)as the main building use and will not change use and be used
for executive offices,faculty rooms and dining area.The second use of 10,912 square feet will
be used as a halfway house(R4)to house patients while they are at the facility(approx.4
months).
5. Flexibility Criteria for Community Development Code Section 2-2103-D are:
1. The halfway house is not located within 1,000 feet of another halfway house.
Response: Property to the south is vacant land and residential for 1000 feet.Property to the west is
vacant,then commercial with MDR for 1000 feet. Property to the north and east is MDR with not
halfway houses coming up with a search done in that area.A thorough search was done to find
hallway houses in the area and none were found.The only adjoining(I) uses were adjoining the
property and were vacant land.
2. Front setback:The reduction in front set-back results in an improved site plan or
improved design and appearance.
Response:The new site plans includes removing 15 feet of parking lot asphalt to provide a
continuous shrubbery line with an additional 10 foot buffer from the property line and sidewalk,
thus improving the landscaping and open land on the front of the property on the east side/King
Highway side.
3. Rear Setback:The reduction in rear-setback is necessary to preserve protected trees
and/or results in an improved site plan or more efficient design and appearance and
results in landscaping in excess of the minimum required.
Response:There is no change to rear set-back as that area is currently open and vacant land with a
stream separating this property from adjoining in additional to well established trees.Set-backs
from building are sufficient.
6. This corrections packet includes 13 copies of a tree inventory/survey from a certified arborist for
the trees along the parking lot on the East side/Kings Highway side of the property that will be
affected by removing parking lot asphalt.
7. An updated landscape plan is being provided that shows location,size and quantities of
proposed trees and plants. (second response page from engineer)
8. Updated plan also addresses the greenspace of the parking lot area and provides at least a
minimum of 10%of the vehicular use area to be dedicated to greenspace. (second response
from engineer�
9. Updated plan also states how this follows code 3-1202-E(second response page from engineer)
10. Address in second response page from engineer.

Arborist Report for 9 oaks along Kings Highway at 1390 Sunset Point Rd., Clearwater
Summarv: Seven of these nine oaks are growing under relatively stressed conditions.
This is because they were originally planted in the narrow space between the concrete
sidewalk and the asphalt parking lot with the high likelihood their roots are bein�
restricted by the hardscapes and any bedrock. The two on the ends are doing much
better, probably partly if not largely because of the additional root room allowed them
on the ends. See attached map diagram.
To maintain the stability and healthy life of these trees, as few roots as absolutely
necessary should be pruned, especially those over 1" in diameter, and an arborist should
do the pruning so it's done correctly. Per ideal arboricultural guidelines for tree health
demonstrated in the field, no roots should be pruned closer than the drip line of the
canopy. At the same time it is understood this is not always possible in urban
development. Still the absolute minimum distance a small fraction of larger roots might
be pruned without jeopardizing the tree's support and health is 3x the diameter of the
trunk at breast height. For example, a tree that is 30" dbh (diameter at breast height)
(which is 2 '/z ft.), should be pruned no closer than 7 '/2'to its base.
Most of these trees are closer than this guideline to both the sidewalk and the asphalt
driveway which is planned to be lifted. Thus when lifting of the asphalt is performed or
sidewalk is worked on, the work needs to be done manually and delicately, not with
machinery, excavators or even very much with shovels except to pry. This is especially
true when work is within the 3x the trunk diameter distance to the tree - so as not to tear
or pull or cut roots in that radius if the trees are to survive. Roots also should not be
� left exposed to dry out in wind and sun, so if encountered at the surface need to be
covered by moist soil or some other type of cover like burlap or similar fabric.
1
Each tree has been rated per the Mayberry scale of overall condition as outlined here.
TREE CONDI TION RATI NGS
1. A tree that is dying, severely declining, haiardous, harboring a communicabie disease or a
tree designated by the State of Florida's Exotic Pest Plant Council as a Category 1 ecological
pest, e.g. a Brazilian pepper tree. A tree with a rating of 1 should be removed as it is beyond
treatment and is a threat to cause personal injury or property damage.
2. Atree exhibiting serious structural defects such as co-dominant stems with included bark
at or near the base, large cavities, large areas of decayed wood, crown dieback, cracked/split
scaffold branches, etc. In addition, a tree with health issues such as low energy, low live
crown ratio, serious disease or insect problems, nutritional deficiencies or soil pH problems.
A tree with a rating of 2 should be removed unless the problem(s) can be treated. A tree with
a 2 condition rating will typically require a considerable amount of maintenance to qualify for
an upgrade of the condition rating.
3. A tree with average sfiructure and systemic health and with problems that can be corrected
with moderate maintenance. A tree with a co-dominant stem not in the basal area that will be
subordinated or cabled and braced or a co-dominant stem that will soon have inctuded bark
can be included as a 3. Atree with a rating af 3 has average appearance, crown density and
live crown r�tio and should be preserved if possible.
4. A tree with a rating of 4 has good structure and systemic health with minor problems that
can be easily corrected with minor maintenance. The tree should have an attractive
�ppe�ran�e �r�d �� �ssenti�lly fre� of any debili#a#ing disease or insect problem. The tree

Startin� at north end, numberin�the trees in sequence:
(1) 24" dbh live oak, a strong species that can live 200 years and longer, approx. 40 ft.
high, 4.0 rating, needs elevation pruning of low-hanging limb tips due to healthy
growth, some crown cleaning of dead wood. Outside sidewalk is cracked from root
pressure but should be left as-is or the concrete shaved to smooth the crack. If slab must
be replaced, removal of concrete needs to be done delicately so as not to tear roots.
(2) 21" dbh laurel oak, a weak species that only lives about 50-60 years in the urban
environment , approx. 35 ft. high, 2.0 rating. This laurel oak has the most dead wood in
its canopy of any of these trees. It has been over pruned and mis-pruned causing some
decay in larger wounds. There is damage to the tree bark near the base. Tree might
have five years left or could even be considered for removal now.
(3) 20" dbh sand live oak, a moderately strong but smaller version of the live oak,
approx. 28 ft. high, 2.8 rating. Has some dead wood to crown clean and elevation
pruning of low-hanging tips over sidewalk and west side.
(4) 20" dbh live oak, approx. 30 ft. high, a 3.0 rating. Has dead wood in the canopy to
clean, broken stubs to prune conectly to avoid decay setting in and elevation of low-
hanging tips needed.
(5) 15" dbh sand live oak, approx. 32 ft. high, a 2.7 rating. Dead wood in canopy needs
crown cleaning and elevation over the sidewalk. Sidewalk is just beginning to uplift.
Might shave the concrete.
(6) 22" dbh live oak, approx. 36 ft. high, 3.0 rating. Dead wood in canopy to prune out.
Stubs to be correctly pruned to avoid decay. Elevation pruning of tips needed.
(7) 11" sand live oak,just 16 ft. high, 2.9 rating. Moderate co-dominant stems
developing in this younger tree. A little dead wood in the small canopy. Elevation of
tips needed over sidewalk.
(8) 23" live oak, approx. 32 ft. high, 2.5 rating. Lots of dead wood and tip die back.
Roots could be girdled or constricted by hardscapes. Stubs need correct pruning to
minimize risk of decay setting in. Elevate low-hanging tips.
(9) 30" live oak, approx. 45 ft. high, 4.3 rating. A little dead wood to remove from
inner canopy but tree is healthy and vigorous and a strong species. Lots of elevation
pruning needed over parking, lawn, sidewalk, stop sign and edge of street because
growth is so robust.
