LANDSCAPING/STREETSCAPING/BUFFER
1. Autumn Sage is not on the College Station Approved Plant List. Please explain how this
plant is appropriate for the regional and meets City requirements.
2. All of the plants listed in the "Shrub Areas" legend are either not on the approved plant list or
are considered groundcover. For either reason, these plants do not qualify for points.
3. Since wax myrtles are being used to screen mechanical equipment at the rear of the
building, a dwarf special may not be used. However, wax myrtle is an appropriate plant for
screening purposes.
4. Neither of the existing trees pointed out are large enough to qualify for points. The minimum
caliper size to count for points is 4" for canopy and 2" for non -canopy. However, they are
small enough that they can count as a new planting.
5. Provide a general note that 100% coverage of groundcover, decorative paving, decorative
rock (not loose), or a perennial grass is required in parking lot islands, swales and drainage
areas, the parking lot setback, rights -of -way, and adjacent property disturbed during
construction.
