5.03: Consider Landscape Plan Association with a Site Plan Application for Parkview <br />East; Case of PSD, LLC <br />City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. <br />Board Member Stodola asked if the developer could put shrubbery in along the perimeter. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that the City is trying to stay clear of shrubbery installations on the <br />boulevard area for maintenance reasons. <br />Board Member Lewis inquired about the ratio of parking spaces to apartment units. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated the number of parking spaces are more than the <br />City would require and there are tuck under garages in the apartment building. He stated that the <br />applicant feels that they are meeting the parking needs from a marketing perspective. If the issue <br />becomes a storm water question, the Board will be addressing it. <br />Board Member Lewis stated that the planting proposal seems unimaginative to him and talked <br />about the back wall of the parking stalls. He indicated that there was no photometric plan included <br />in the proposal. <br />City Planner Anderson agreed and stated that plans for internal landscaping and photometrics have <br />not yet been received from the applicant. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated that currently the architectural plans don't <br />match up with civil engineering plans. <br />Board Member Hiatt asked if an internal landscaping plan can be required as part of their proposal. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that it is not specifically required as part of the proposal but that it <br />is reasonable to ask what the intentions are and the City will be reaching out to the applicant. <br />Board Member Hiatt stated that the City should make sure the applicant is aware that we are <br />expecting an internal landscaping plan from them and that suggested addressing the landscaping <br />along the back wall of the garage. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill asked the Board if they wanted to continue the trend <br />to prescribe the plantings in the boulevard area for a consistent look and the Board's desire with <br />regard to reducing the parking lot size. <br />Board Member Hiatt stated that the Board could not take the number of parking spaces below the <br />code for minimum parking spaces. <br />Board Member Lewis stated he was not proposing that the Board force the applicant down to the <br />minimum number of parking spaces, but that it seemed to him that there was inordinate amount of <br />
