NO

Commentary

1. First, the Section cited in Appendix F should be 107. The code at Section 107 does not require design by a design professional, but requires such design professional where required by FS 471 or 481. There are specific provisions for specialized items requiring design by a design professional, but not a general requirement. There appears to be no requirement for design of the irrigation system by a landscape architect, unless, the designer is claiming to be a landscape architect. 2. Appendix F is not enforceable unless adopted by a local amendment.
