Review File: McDonalds Site Plan Review December 28, 2012 Revised January 18, 2013 Page 5 of 5 Landscaping Plan: The submittal included a landscaping plan, prepared by Landform and dated November 26, 2012, which includes landscaping interior to the site. The streetscape landscaping was installed in conjunction with the Sunwood Drive realignment project. The landscaping plan is generally acceptable with the following comments: • Additional plantings along the western edge of the site should be considered. Presently, the trees are spaced at about sixty-five (65) feet on center, which provides ample space to incorporate a couple additional trees while maintaining a spacing of about thirty-five (35) feet on center. Adding shrubs along this edge will accomplish some of the required screening for the adjacent parking. Tree Preservation: This site is devoid of any significant tree cover and therefore, no tree preservation plan is necessary. Sidewalk and Trails: As part of the Sunwood Drive realignment project, a sidewalk was installed along Sunwood Drive and terminates just after turning south along Armstrong Boulevard. Typically, a requirement of development would be to extend this sidewalk to the southern limit of the property. However, this segment of sidewalk is included in the plans for the Armstrong Boulevard interchange and thus, will be completed as part of that project. DEVELOPMENT FEES Development fees were determined during the COR TWO platting process. Applicable fees associated with this project (Lot 4 Block 1 COR TWO) can be found on the enclosed spreadsheet. Please coordinate with the Development Manager regarding these fees as you complete the real estate transaction. GENERAL INFORMATION Additional Review.
