The separation distance between Live Oaks is a minimum of 35-feet. To retain the same Landscape layout, you may replace the Live Oaks with another approved species of canopy tree. 2.

This is a stop review. Because the buffer requirement was not addressed, and the site plan may change in an effort to meet ordinance requirements, staff will make a complete review of the next submittal. The following comments are provided to help the applicant make a more complete submittal. This project will have to meet the new buffer ordinance (Section 8.10 of the Zoning Ordinance). Please include this in the site plan. Buffer areas may be excluded from the total site area when calculating the landscaping point requirement. There is no buffer required on the western property line. There will be a 10- or 15- foot planted buffer the entire length of the eastern property line. There will be a solid fence along the southern edge of the development, but they should have a gate so they may access the back of the property. The majority of the back area has to be barricaded. They will need to do a little work for drainage from the detention pond to the creek, but everything else (trees, shrubs, anything that provides a visual buffer) should be fenced. They have been told that a metal fence with slats will not be accepted. 2. Parking spaces 5 and 6 will have to be relocated. Because of limited sight distances and proximity to the entrance, these spaces will create unsafe conditions. These spaces may remain, but the island against the building will have to be a minimum of 180 sq.ft., the plantings on the island will have to be pushed to the front of it so they do not interfere with what little a site triangle they will have, they can not get into the required 55-ft. throat depth, and a note is made that the arrows that show the drive aisle is one way is painted on the ground. 3. All parking spaces must be a minimum of 18 feet long with a 2-foot overhang or 20 feet long with no overhang. Ignore this. I couldn't find the reason I had made this comment. 4. Please describe the treatment of the parking islands at the back of the property. They are required to be planted or treated with enhanced paving. This is standard stuff. 5. Please verify that you will be removing the existing easements near the eastern and southern property lines. This is standard stuff. Ask Spencer if you have questions. 6. The dumpster enclosure needs to be an 8-foot wooden fence. This is standard stuff. 7. Please amend General Note #8 to include that the irrigation will be approved prior to C.O. This is standard stuff. 8. Will the project have security gates? If so, please show their location and swing path. Supposedly they are going to put gates where the western and eastern buildings line up (ask Natalie if you have questions). This location is okay, just make sure the gates go up and they provide a knox box.

In that regard, I am submitting a revised landscaping plan which incorporates more plant material and sod than originally approved as well as provides for the use of native plant materials in lieu of exotics. Additionally, if you will recall, Molly was going to do an on site inspection of the existing natural buffer to satisfy herself that it would be futile to tear out the existing native materials to plant new exotics when clearly the native buffer serves the intended purpose much more effectively. We would respectfully request that you consider allowing us to substitute this revised landscape plan in lieu of the one that was originally submitted on our site plan. Thank you in advance for an expedient response as we are anxious to get our facility opened in the next few weeks.
