No DPI ADLS approva/'by the Commission shall be required with respect to Detached Dwellings and their associated Accessory Dwellings AccessOIY Structures, landscaoing,)ighting, and signage .... And Section 13. The landscaping in the Legacy District shall be designed to compliment the architecture of the Dwellings and Commercial Buildings Street trees streetscape plantings and buffer areas shall be used to bring natural elements to the design pattern in consultation with the City's Urban Forester. And Section 13.4.8 states: "Within the Neighborhood Residential UseBlock building base landscaping adjacent to the front elevation of each Detached Dwelling shafl include a minimum of five 5 shrubs and or ornamental grasses Additionally one shade tree and one ornamental tree shall be planted for every unit." However, I do think your input on the landscape plan plant species is helpful to the petitioner! Nick Churchill will be preparing en email to explain along similar lines.

This single sheet that you have provided my toda,y with each small section cut up and not imposed on a site plan does not allow me cross check for conflicts for utilities or easements or anything else. Landscape plans should be submitted with the other plans in the construction phase packet 1. Please submit a landscape plan over a site plan with the utility and easement layers on as well. 2. Species: Red maples shall not'be used as street trees, they are thin barked, shallow rooted, and easily injured, plus they are not drought tolerant. Please choose another from Carmel's list of large or medium growing shade trees. Winter King hawthorns have large thorns and should not be planted where they can grow into the right-of- way to conflict with pedestrians or vehicles. There are 7 Norway maple Crimson King on the plan, and while a fine specimen tree, they suffer from an invasive fungus that makes them not long lived. I would suggest another species with red fall color, or a more formal shape to attain what you are looking for here. Species Diversity: You shall have at least 7 species of trees on the plan to meet the species diversity guidelines. You have 5 species now, I would suggest you add another shade tree species and another ornamental species. Please contact me if you have any further questions. I will have further review comments when I receive the revised plans.
