Tree Preservation Plan: The City is in receipt of a tree inventory and preservation plan dated March 3, 2008. The tree cover on site is dominated by red and jack pine and bur oak. A majority of the trees inventoried are located outside of Lot 1 Block 1. However, there will be some significant tree cover preserved along the eastern boundary of the development (along Variolite Street N.W.). The tree inventory and preservation plan is generally satisfactory with the following CO!l11l1ents: . Tree save fencing must be installed prior to any soil disturbance activity; . Tree save fencing should be placed no closer to trees than their dripline; . Any utility work that would have to occur within the drip line of protected trees must be accomplished using trenchless methods. Wetland Buffer: While no wetlands exist on Lot 1 Block 1, there are wetlands on the remainder of the property and thus, any future development will be subject to the wetland delineation and buffer requirements as outlined in City Code. Ground CoverJIrrigation Requirements: City Code requires all areas not otherwise improved to be established with sod and be irrigated. The revised Landscape Plan should reflect the intent to sod' all areas on Lot 1, Block 1. Any deviations from the sodding/irrigation requirement will require City Council approval. The proposed irrigation system will need to be reviewed by the City Engineer. The irrigation system will need a dedicated service(s) that must be shown on the utility plan. Please submit details regarding the utilities for such a system. ' Architectural Standards: Utilizing the B-1 Business District standards, exterior wall finishes on buildings must consist of brick, stucco, glass, wood, stone, pre-cast panels whose surfaces have decorative material or texture, or other materials as approved by the City Council.
