Land otn s
1. Amount of landscaping needed is also based on buffering ofthe county road to the west
of the property (see 20-1176 in city code)
2. Amount of landscaping and parking islands/peninsu las needed for the new parking lot
(see 20-1183 in city code)
o Once these calculations are in the plans they will need to make sure that the
landscaping tree plantings meet our diversity requirements' They state that no
more than 10% of plantings will be of one species (example: Freeman maple),
not more than 20% of plantings be of one genus (ex. maple trees), not more than
30% be of one family (ex. Rose family, which includes crabapples and
serviceberry's). Note the current plans do not meet this standard.
3. The plans do not show any tree protection fencing for trees that are near grading limits
on the northern section ofthe project. These will need to be included.
4. The plans show silt fences installed next to trees to be preserved. The plans should
include using mulch socks when near/within the canopies of trees to be preserved.
Another option for installation under tree canopies to be preserved would be to install
the fence without trenching the bottom ofthe fence (thereby protecting roots from
unnecessary damage from the silt fence installation).
