Planting Sol Mixture A to be placed in St. Augustine sad areas, shrub and ground cover <br />beds and in broadleaf tree pits, both new and transplanted: <br />' 20% Topsoil <br />10% Peal or Compost <br />70% Sand <br />B. Planting Soil Mixture B to be placed as backrlll around the root balk of palms shall be: <br />90% native sand from on site or approved source <br />10% topsoil. <br />2 2 Soil Amendments <br />P, See written specification 02920. <br />PART III - EXECUTION <br />3.1 PREPARATION FOR RELOCATION OF TREES AND PALMS <br />A Crown Pruning <br />1, Broadleaf Trees - All bees are to be trimmed by thinning the crown only, and of by <br />reducing crown dimensions. Trim to conform to NAA and ISA standards, including removal <br />of dead woad. Repair any existing injuries to trees including cavities and machinery marks. <br />2. Palms - Remove all seed pods and lowest fronds, leaving 9 -11 youngest fronds. For <br />Sabal Palms only, cut back all fords in a'hurricane cut' prior to transplanting unless specified <br />otherwise in the field by the landscape architect. <br />B. Fertilization and Watering <br />1. Preparation <br />a. All Trees and Palms Io be relocated shall be treated with wetting agents, (edit ers, <br />root stimulants, and soil conditioners at the time of relocation. See specification 02920. <br />b. Form and maintain an earth berm 6' high outside the proposed rot ball prior to <br />watering and apply 3' approved mulch within saucer. Water application shall <br />saturate the root ball to its entire depth. <br />C. Rol Pruning <br />1. Watering <br />All from and palms to be relocated are to be provided with an automatic irrigation <br />system which provides 2 bubbler heads to each tree and palm, prior to root pruning. <br />Fronde irrigation timer, or battery powered valve to water Imes to be relocated. Hand <br />watering in lieu of automatic system shall not be allowed, however hand watering shall be <br />pertormed to avoid lapses should the automatic system be inoperable for more than 24 <br />=r and during the initial planting period as specified. <br />2. Barricades <br />Barricade all existing trees and palms with six foot (61 chain link fence or other barricade <br />approved by Own - <br />Rod Pruning Technique -All trees shall be excavated by digging a trench 36' deep, <br />either by hand or with a trenching machine designed for this purpose. Hand cut broadleaf <br />tree rots after trenching to produce clean outs with no splits or teas. Trees to be root <br />pruned shall have a minimum root ball size of 10' per l' of caliper measured at DBH to r <br />broad leaf trees, 30' for Sabal Palms, 42' for Coconut Palms. Sepal palms shall not require <br />rot pruning. <br />Tiding -AII broadleaf trees are to be relocated shall be maintained for a minimum of tern <br />(10 }make after rot pruning prior to relocation. All palms except Sabel Palms, shall bet <br />maintained a minimum of four (4) weeks prior to relocation. <br />TREE DISPOSITION <br />OPALM, <br />TO RELOCATE <br />00 <br />Removed <br />PALM, TO REMOVE <br />00 <br />235 <br />OPALM, <br />TO PROTECT IN PLACE <br />00 <br />0 <br />TREE, TO REMOVE <br />00 <br />*TREE DISPOSITION RATING (1 THROUGH 5) <br />1 VALUE = POOR CONDITION / INVASIVE SPECIES <br />5 VALUE <br />= SPECIMEN TREE / HEALTHY <br />3.2 RELOCATION OF TREES AND PALMS <br />A. Preparation - Trees and palms shall be thoroughly soaked to the full depth of the root <br />ball dairy for seven consecutive days prior to relocation. Accurately locate positron and <br />elevation where all trees are intended to be planted, for verification by Landscape <br />Architect. Verity that no overhead or underground ufirdies, existing or proposed, conflict <br />with pmposed locations. <br />B. Digging and Handling <br />Determine line of previous root pruning and excavate around root mass to leave area <br />outside line of root pruning undisturbed. Digging shall be accomplished so as to <br />produce clean cuts on all roots without leading or splitting. Trenching shall be a minimum of <br />48' deep. <br />Trees shall be handled in such a way as to avoid damage to bark and limbs subject to <br />support cables or chains. Attach padded support cables or chains at multiple points <br />where possible. <br />Root balk shall be undercut prior to lifting. Do not force tree from ground prior to <br />undercutting. Ball depth to be determined upon assessing conditions at time of trenching, <br />to keep intact the mike root ball. <br />Trees shall be property wrapped during moving m trunks will not be scarred and damaged <br />and to avoid broken limbs. Broken limbs or scarred Trunks shall cause tree to be <br />unacceptable and rejected at the Owner's option. Root balls and foliage shall be kept <br />mist during all phases of relocation. <br />Partially backfrll tree pits with 12' of approved planting soil prior to seibng tree. This <br />layer of soil to be thoroughly drenched prior to relocation to achieve a stable platform <br />at the ccmecl elevation so that the lop of root ball is 1' above proposed grade. <br />Backfilling - Flood bottom foil layer to settle tree into best position and to remove air <br />pockets. Continue to flood root bail as planting sdi is deposited to insure removal of all <br />air pockets. Produce saucer, to retain water per drawings. <br />Bracing - Support tree with machinery until bracing is complete. Buttresses may support <br />separate bunks on multiple trunk trees. Maintain braces until completion of prejecl. <br />Irrigation - Install bubbler heads on all trees and palms. Connect each Ime's system <br />immediately to water source. Additionally, all transplanted Imes and palms shall be hand <br />watered daily for a period of six (6) weeks after transplanting. The irrigation system is <br />designed for maintaining plant material only, and does not provide the volume of we ler <br />required immediately after transplanting. Set time to run daily, to provide an equivalent of <br />6' of rain per week for 30 days, [hen reduce to equivalent of 3' per week. <br />C. Holding Area <br />A holding area shall be provided specifically designated for storage and accltmalbal on <br />of relocated from and palms that are to be relocated in later project phases, or in the <br />current phase. The holding area shall be of sufficient size to allow for temporary painting <br />of Imes and palms without undue c—cling. <br />Holding area shall be provided with a temporary automatic irrigation system, and shot '. be <br />excavated and provided with a soil layer a minimum of 30' deep. Irrigation shall be <br />monitored and supplemented as necessary to provide water in volumes sufficient for <br />growth. <br />3.3 PROTECTION AND CARE OF EXISTING TREES AND PALMS TO REMAIN <br />tree Mitigation <br />I _ <br />Removed <br />Relocated <br />Palms <br />235 <br />5 <br />Trees <br />25 <br />0 <br />Watering - Existing irrigation shall remain operable to the greatest extent possible during <br />construct ton. All on site trees to remain shall be supplied with temporary irrigation to remain <br />operable unit: permanent irrigation is operable. Existing irrigation system to be demolished may <br />be utilized as the temporary imitalio system. <br />Barricading - Barricade all existing trees and palms with six foot (6) chain link fence or other <br />barricade approved by Owner. Barricades shall be installed at an offset distance two feel IT) <br />outside the bee drip lineledge of Iro canopy to the extent practical, prior to any construction <br />activity. <br />Palazzo Di Acqualina <br />Sunny Isles, Florida <br />Owner: <br />GSF Acquisition, LLC. <br />A Delaware Limited Liability Company <br />Dccelnpmenl 011ice <br />17780 Collins Avenue Sunny Isles, FL <br />33160 Telephone 3055-933 -6301 <br />Consultants: <br />I Architect: <br />Cohen Freedman Encinosa R Associates <br />8085 NW 155 Street, Miami Lakes, FL <br />33016 305.826.3999 <br />Planners and Landscape Architect_ <br />® srxaerawroeaxsvwm. �, <br />waruuoeuus nnewasn, uw <br />laes.sx�avo <br />Civil Engineer: <br />THOMAS CHECCA, P.
