Setbacks: City Code stipulates a 35 front yard, 25 rear yar4, and 25 side yard setback building setback, the site plan is exceeding these setbacks. City Code also establishes a 20 foot impervious surtice setback along all public streets. The site plan will need to reflect the 20 foot impervious surface setback. Landscaping: City. Code requires one (1) tree per every fifty (50) lineal feet of site perimeter or 1,000 square feet of building coverage, whichever is greater, be planted, throughout the site. City Code also requires that no [ess than 25% of the trees planted be deciduous and no tess than 25% coniferous. Fu~herrnore, City Code requires that no more than 25% of the trees planted consist of ornamental trees. Parking tot landscaping is also required, one (1) tree per every, ten (10) parking stalls. In addition to the tree requirements, City, Code also slates that one (1) sl2'ub 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 135 shrubs needing to be installed. Of the trees, a minimum of twenty-one (21) should be installed along 1.41st Ave and Ebony St to satisfy the public road frontage planting requirement (one tree per 35 feet of public road frontage).

The sizes and species indicated in the species palette meet the minimum standards specified in City Code. Both the public road frontage ptanting 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 Cky Code. A revised landscaping plan should be submitted that includes the additional trees required under City Code. However, [,here does appear to be a row of existing trees along the eastern property boundar7 that will be preserved. A survey of those existing trees, including species, size, condition and their slams (are they going to be preserved) should be submitted. 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 information is submitted. - Finally. there are a couple of points of concern regm'ding the general location of street ri'ecs. Firsz, no trees can be planted within thirty-five (135) feet of the back of cm'b of any intersecting street. This is something that will require attention in the 5etd when the trees are installed. Additionally, no tree shall be planted within i2fteen (tS) feet of a hydrant. If a conflict does exist, the spacing of the trees may -216-
