Final Plat Highlands at River Park 4th Addition December 12, 2003 Page 4 of 5 Given the fact that the adjacent lots are in the MUSA and are configured to be able to be replatted in the future, staff proposes that landscape buffering be used to satisfy the density transition requirements as follows: a) Given the existing vegetation and what will remain, there is no need for additional screening on Lots 4 and 7. b) The addition of new plantings on the rear of Lots 5 and 6 where the existing tree cover will be removed for grading and utility purposes. c) The addition of new plantings on the rear of Lots 2 and 3 to supplement the existing tree cover. The landscaping plan provided at the preliminary plat approval stage indicated plantings of 82 American Cranberry bushes to accomplish the screening. The American Cranberry Bush is a preferred planting under the City of Ramsey Tree Book. These plantings will meet the screening requirements for density transition purposes. 10.
