I. REQUEST AND PROJECT DETAILS
A request is being made by Alex Ahrenholz, of Cotleur & Hearing, on behalf of Prosperity
Harbor North Master Association, Inc. for minor landscape plan improvements at the entrance of
the Prosperity Harbor North development. The proposed improvements include:
(1) Relocation of sabal palms,
(2) Removal and substitution of certain trees, and
(3) Removal and substitution of certain shrubs.
The applicant believes these improvements will bring the overall plan up to date and will
enhance the aesthetic feel of the community. The applicant further believes these improvements
will make the entrance more vibrant and connected to the overall aesthetic of the surrounding
area.
II. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS OF APPLICANT’S REQUEST
Previous Approvals
In December of 1998, the Village Council granted approval of a Perimeter Landscape Plan with
automatic irrigation for the Prosperity Harbor North PUD (Resolution No. 56-98). This perimeter
landscape plan was required to be approved by the Village Council as indicated in Section 2C of
Ordinance 31-96, which created the Prosperity Harbor North PUD. The approved landscape plan
was prepared by Land Design South consisting of 11 sheets. The amendment proposed will
replace sheet 3, which focuses on the landscape at the entrance of the development.
Landscape Analysis
The landscape modification is a result of updating the landscape entrance as the landscape plan
for the entrance was approved almost 22 years ago. While many of the species have been
replaced with new species, the new landscape plan introduces several colorful and differently
textured plants that will definitely enhance the entrance.
