Review File: Molin Concrete Site Plan Review 9 -9 -13 Page 2 of 2 Landscaping: One (1) new tree per every 1,000 square feet of building addition is required. Based on the proposed addition, ten (10) trees must be planted across the site. Deciduous trees shall be at least 2.5 inches in diameter and evergreen trees must be at least six (6) feet in height. • Please update the landscape plan to include a planting schedule that identifies the common and scientific name, root stock, and quantity for each proposed species. • The landscape plan shows five (5) Quaking Aspen but the caption states three (3), please address this discrepancy (incorporation of a planting schedule should address this). Please note that Staff assumes this is meant to be five (5) as that is what is shown on the plan and that would also ensure that the minimum number of required trees is being installed. • The size of the Quaking Aspen must be increased to at least 2.5 inches in diameter. • A planting detail must be included with the landscape plan (another option is to incorporate the City's tree planting detail). At a minimum, it should state: o Planting depth shall be such that the P set of primary roots is at finished grade o Only prune out dead /broken /deformed branches at time of installation o Remove the upper portion of wire basket and burlap after being placed in planting hole if using B & B stock. Building Elevations: The elevation plans for the proposed addition indicate the use of smooth face precast concrete wall panels that will abut existing ribbed precast concrete wall panels. Colors are not indicated. The east elevation (most visible from a public street) includes an overhead door, small windows at the top and prefinished metal wall panels for accenting above the windows. Since different pre -cast concrete wall finishes are proposed, Staff will require a colored elevation plan and that proposed material colors match existing wall finishes.
