Preliminary Plat and Site Plan Review: COR THREE June 15, 2012 Page 7 of 9 17. Landscaping: Prior to the issuance of any building permits within this Plat, a Landscaping Plan shall be submitted by the developer for review and approval by the City. The landscaping plan shall, at a minimum,identify the common and scientific name of proposed species,root stock,plant size, quantity of each species and should also address/include the following: • Per the new Design Framework,one (1) shade tree per every thirty-five (35) feet of street frontage shall be installed within the boulevard area. This is in essence the equivalent of one (1)tree per lot except for the following lots (which are wider and therefore must account for additional trees): o Lot 1 (404 feet of frontage)—eleven(11)trees o Lot 9 (corner lot with frontages of 102 feet and 122 feet)—two (2)trees on 148th Lane and three (3)trees along Zeolite St NW o Lot 10 (100 feet of frontage)—two (2)trees o Lot 13 (121 feet of frontage)—three (3)trees o Outlot D (102 feet of frontage along Zeolite St)—two (2)trees Both Outlot D and Lot 1 present unique situations. Outlot D is actually part of North Commons (park);however,it would be desirable to keep a consistent appearance of street trees along Zeolite St. This raises the question of who should be responsible for installation of the street trees along that property. Lot 1 has a very long expanse of street frontage. As noted above,it requires eleven(11) street trees based on spacing of one per thirty-five (35)feet. Some discussion should be had about who will or should be responsible for the installation of a majority of the street trees for this lot. Again, it would be desirable to maintain a consistent look along 148th Lane,but much of that frontage will be adjacent to a steep-sloped area some distance away from the house pad. These trees maybe should be installed as part of the required improvements by the developer. • Due to location of driveways,hydrants, street lights, etc,planting numbers may be adjusted downward if necessary to avoid future conflicts or sightline obstructions. • A minimum of four(4)inches of topsoil meeting Mn/DOT's Premium Topsoil Borrow specification must be installed over all disturbed areas not devoted to buildings,off-street parking, driveways, sidewalks,patios or other such improvements. If amending onsite topsoil, documentation must be supplied to the City certifying that the amended material meets this specification prior to installation. • Planting details/specifications must be included on the landscape plan and shall address among other things: o Planting depth(1st set of primary roots shall be at finished grade). o Only prune out dead/broken/deformed branches at time of installation. o Removal of upper portion of wire basket and burlap after being placed in planting hole. o Install hardwood mulch dish over around each tree to a depth of two (2)to four(4) inches. Mulch shall not be piled against stem of tree and shall at least extend out to the dripline of a tree. o Streetiboulevard trees shall have a minimum clear trunk(no branches)height of seven (7)feet to avoid conflicts with pedestrians. Please submit a landscaping plan for review. Development Fees and Other Permits 18. Park Dedication Fee: The proposed development is responsible for satisfying Park Dedication requirements.
