Re: Revised Landscape Plan 193 -00 DP /ADLS Stewart Place
Comments on the revised landscape plan received 1/12/01 are as follows:
1. Planting note #8, "Planting holes to be dug... 6 -8 inches deeper than the size of the root ball
does not agree with the drawings of Planting Details. The drawings are correct, and the notes
should reflect the correct procedure.
2. The crabapple species Malus `Snowdrift' is not an approved, variety for planting in this area.
Please choose an alternative from the attached list of approved crabapple varieties.
3. Since parking is proposed for the front of each building, street trees should be planted in the
City's right -of -way along Rangeline Road. At least four street trees shall be planted, the
species may be selected from the attached list of approved large shade tree varieties.
4. At least one more shade tree and three more ornamental trees shall be planted along the
North perimeter of the property as landscape buffering.
5. The concrete transformer pad for Building Two needs to be screened from the South and East
sides with shrubs or ornamental grasses.
6. Planting note #6 shall have the phase, "and tree preservation plans" inserted before "...with
any and all irrigation construction
7. Because of the importance of preserving existing trees on this site as landscape buffering, a
written Tree Preservation Plan accompanied by a site plan delineating tree preservation
details, including but not limited to; limit of construction lines, preservation fencing locations,
and material storage and parking areas, needs to be submitted to the City's Urban Forester.
The plan shall specifically detail the trees along the South and East perimeters of the property.
