SMOKEY RIDGE LANEMATT STREETAPPROVAL PENDINGNOT FORCONSTRUCTIONTHE COURTYARDSOF CARMELPRIMARY PLATEast Perimeter, North Perimeter and West Perimeter Adjacent to Existing Single Family:
These buffer yards shall be forty (40) feet in width and contain 5 shade trees, 1 ornamental tree
and 20 shrubs per 100 linear feet. Existing vegetation may be applied towards perimeter buffer
yards with approval of Urban Forester. (See Additional Tree Preservation Areas language below.)
Drainage improvements shall be permitted within the perimeter buffer yards.
Southwestern Perimeter along Keystone Parkway:
This buffer yard shall be a thirty (30) foot greenbelt buffer yard and contain 6 shade trees, 2
ornamental trees and 15 shrubs per 100 linear feet. Existing trees may count toward the total
requirement. (See Tree Preservation Areas language below.) Drainage improvements shall be
permitted within the perimeter buffer yards.
Tree Preservation Areas:
Tree Preservation Areas shall be along the perimeter of the Real Estate and shall be twenty (20)
feet in width, at minimum. After final engineering approval, the Tree Preservation Areas shall be
extended within the forty (40) foot perimeter buffer yard to include those areas not needed for
drainage, grading, and/or utilities.
The following shall be required for all Tree Preservation Areas:
i)Signs identifying the Tree Preservation Area shall be posted every five hundred (500) feet
around the perimeter of all Tree Preservation Areas;
ii)Tree protection barriers shall be utilized during site development and earth moving activities,
which shall be specified on landscape plans. Such barriers shall remain in place during the site's
construction activity, including landscaping. The City of Carmel tree preservation detail shall be
used, and fence locations shall be shown on the landscape plan.
iii)A local certified arborist shall be engaged to serve as a consultant throughout the
development of the project with the objective of preserving trees within the twenty-foot Tree
Preservation Areas adjacent to the neighboring residences to the east and north of the Real
Estate. The arborist shall visit the Real Estate prior to development activity and shall provide
suggestions for tree preservation within these areas. As development progresses, the arborist will
revisit the site approximately every 60 days to continue monitoring progress and consulting with
the preservation efforts until all adjacent homes are completed.
iv)In addition, the Developer shall consult with the City's Urban Forester to: (i) identify any gaps
of greater than 20' in the Tree Preservation Area (a “Gap Area”); (ii) select deciduous and/or
evergreen trees from the City's Recommended Tree List, as appropriate, to supplement any Gap
Areas (the “Supplemental Trees”); and (iii) plant the Supplemental Trees at a rate and in locations
within the Gap Areas to best insure the health of the existing trees and the Supplemental Trees.
The Supplemental Trees shall be planted by the first planting season following construction of the
home adjacent to the Gap Area.LANDSCAPEPLANBUFFERS ANDPOND*SEE PP SHEETS C300-C303 FOR ACREAGE
Tree Survey:
In order to maximize the opportunity to protect substantial trees, at the earliest appropriate time
as determined by Developer's arborist and the City's Urban Forester, Developer shall conduct a
tree survey within the second 20' of the 40' perimeter bufferyard to identify each deciduous tree
greater than 4” DBH and each evergreen tree greater than 10' tall. As part of the tree
survey, Developer's arborist also shall evaluate whether the first 20' of the 40' perimeter bufferyard
meets the requirements of being wooded and identify those areas that include gaps of 20' in
width or greater. Developer's arborist will undertake this work in conjunction with the City's urban
forester. This tree survey shall be completed and submitted to the City's Urban Forester and City
Engineer prior to the Developer's submission of its construction plans for the neighborhood.
NOTE: SEE SHEET L104 FOR PLANT SCHEDULE
Tree Wall
In addition to the existing landscaping/bufferyard requirements, above two staggered rows of
trees (the “Tree Wall”) shall (subject to utilities, rights-of-way and easements) be planted within
the 40' bufferyard outside the Tree Preservation Area (the “Tree Wall Area”). The Tree Wall Area is
expected to be in the area between 20' and 30' from the perimeter. The Tree Wall shall include a
mix of the following:
·Serbian Spruce (minimum 6' tall at planting, spaced approximately 12' - 15' apart)
·Bald Cyprus (minimum 2.5' caliper at planting, spaced approximately 12' - 15' apart)
·Norway Spruce (minimum 6' tall at planting, spaced approximately 12' - 15' apart)
·Yew (minimum 6' tall at planting, spaced approximately 6' apart)
·Arborvitae (minimum 6' tall at planting, spaced approximately 6' apart)
The Tree Wall Area shall extend to the right-of-way where it meets a public street and shall include
an evergreen tree near the rights-of-way. The Tree Wall planting plan shall be reviewed and
approved by the City's Urban Forester and shall be installed at the time that the stormwater and
grading work is completed in the area adjacent to that segment of the Tree Wall. Existing trees
within the Tree Wall Area may be included as part of the Tree Wall in the discretion of the City's
Urban Forester.
