There needs to be more diversity in tree species than the two deciduous types proposed as trees in the townhouse deveIopment area for both disease resistance and appearance. - b. Staff notes that many of the townhome units do not have a single tree associated with them. To be consistent with previous townhome projects, the equivalent of one tree per unit should occur in proximity to the townhome units. [The pines, proposed to be relocated for screening should not be counted in the above]. c. The 5 crabapples, the spirea, and the weigela proposed for the townhomes will need to have a plant sized specified in order for approval. Wood mulch in contrast to rock 'mutch', [noted in the typicaI foundation planting detail] is also recommended, but not required. Screening: City Code requires a 15-foot buffer between the e,,dsting residential and the proposed multi-family development. The landscaping plan should show the proposed screening. Waste Storage: City Code requires ali waste storage areas to be located in the rear or Side yard and they must be screened. The site plan indicates that the townhouse project will not contain any outside waste storage areas.
