J:\PZTEXT\PZ03373.DOC Page 2 of 1 STAFF REVIEW COMMENTS No. 1 Project: Heat Transfer Research Inc. -Site Plan (00-123) The revised landscaping plan has some significant changes from the approved landscaping plan. It is short 5 trees and relocates 42 shrubs, though it does also add 47 new shrubs. PLANNING 1. The 47 new shrubs were placed in landscaping beds adjacent to the building, and while all of these should be counted toward the overall landscaping on the site, their placement cannot be considered when evaluating the 42 relocated shrubs, which were planned to serve a different purpose. Staff does not have a problem with landscaping planted above and beyond the approved plan, so long as it does not interfere with visibility triangles or hamper something else required on the site. 2. Forty-one of the originally approved shrubs were moved from locations intended to provide parking and drive aisle screening to the landscaping beds adjacent to the building. While their placement may improve the aesthetics of the building, this change puts the site plan out of compliance with an ordinance requirement. The screening method originally approved with the site plan was through landscaping. The existing plants do not meet this requirement. Additional landscaping will need to be installed in these areas. 3. FYI - In this same vein, staff is concerned after visiting the site that the existing landscaping, which is intended to provide screening, will not do so after one growing season as required. The placement and size of the shrubs is of concern. However, this issue may be addressed next year by code enforcement if there is still an issue. Business Center Board 4. Removal of the two trees along the frontage will cause the plan to no longer meet streetscaping requirements. The previously approved plan just met the minimums for streetscaping. Staff has no objection to the two trees being relocated within the L.A.U.E., with Board approval. 5. Removal of the trees in the island at the back of the property does not affect the required landscaping or streetscaping. They were, however, considered by the Board when approving the aesthetics of that area. The Board will need to decide if new trees or other landscaping need to be located in that island to replace the removed trees.
