Provide inverts and top of casting elevations for all sanitary structures and connections. Separate 6" water services will be required for each building. Stubs were provided in Ebony Street. A fire hydrant will be required at the north east comer of Tract A. Setbacks: City Code stipulates a 35 front yard, 25 rear yard, and 25 side yard setback building setback, the site plan is exceeding these setbacks'. City Code also establishes a 20 foot impervious surface setback along all public streets. The site plan will need to reflect the 20 foot impervious surface setback. Landscaping: City Code requires one (l) tree per every fifty (50) lineal feet of site perimeter or 1,000 square feet of building coverage, whichever is greater, be planted throughodt the site. City Code also req~_tires that no less than 25% of the trees planted be deciduous and no [es~ than 25% coniferousl Furthermore, City Code requires that no more than 25% of the trees planted consist of ornamental trees. Parking lot landscaping is also required, one (1) tree per every ten (10) parking stalls. In addition to the tree requirements, City Code also states that one (t) shrub per every thirty (30) lineal feet of site perimeter or 300 square feet of building coverage, whichever is greater, be planted. The total building coverage on the property is 40,650 square feet, which equates to a minimum-of forty (40) trees and t35 shrubs needing to be installed. Of the trees, a minimum of twenty-one (21') should be installed along 141st Ave and Ebony St to satisfy the public road ~¥ontage planting requirement (one tree per 35 feet of public road frontage). The parking lot landscaping trees shall.be planted within the parking lot in islands or inunediately adjacent to the parking stalls and must consist of at least five (5) additional overstory trees.

The sizes and species indicated in the species palette meet the mirfimum standards specified in City Code. Both the public road frontage planting requirements as well as the parking lot landscaping requirements are being satisfied. However, an additional six (6) trees need tO be incorporated into the plan to satisfy. the overall planting requirements of City Code. A revised landscaping, plan should be submitted that includes the additional trees required under City Code. However, there does appear to be a row of existing trees -along the eastern, property boundary that will-be prese~wed. A survey of those existing trees, including species, siS;~., 'condition and their status (are they going to be preserved) should be submit¢ed. If the existing trees'are deemed significant and will be preserved, they could satisfy the overall planting requirements. However, that determination cannot be made until more detailed in±brmation is submitted. Finally, there are a couple of points of concern regarding the general location of street trees. First, no trees' can be planted within thirty-five (35) ~'eet of the back of curb of any intersecting street. This is something that will require attention in the field when the trees are installed. Additionally, no tree shall be pianted within fifteen (15) feet of a hydrant. [~' a conflict does exist, 'the spacing of the trees may 10
