Any deviations from the thirty-five (35) foot spacing requirement shall <br /> receive approval by the City prior to installation of tree(s). The plans must be revised to <br /> incorporate this language. <br /> • If individual Home Builder is responsible for installation of trees, how will it be <br /> determined which lots are responsible for trees right at a common boundary line? <br /> • Based on spacing, it appears that there should be trees added to the Landscape Plan <br /> between Lots 4 & 5, Lots 6 & 7, and Lots 11 & 12. Please update the plans accordingly. <br /> • Whether the Developer of Home Builder, the trees shown in the Plant Schedule on <br /> Sheet L2.1 shall be the species installed. This will ensure a more consistent appearance <br /> and eliminate any chance of an unapproved species from being planted. Any deviation <br /> from the Plant Schedule shall require approval of the City prior to installation. This note <br /> must be added to the plans. <br /> • Branching of boulevard trees shall begin no lower than six (6) feet above ground. Please <br /> add this note to the Plant Schedule and/or the Deciduous Tree Planting Detail. <br /> • No plantings shall be located within the vision clearance triangle as defined within City <br /> Code Section 117-348. The vision clearance triangle shall be added to the Landscape <br /> Plan and plantings shall be adjusted accordingly to eliminate any conflicts. <br /> • Boulevard width shall be at least six (6) feet in width. The plans must be revised to <br /> indicate the boulevard width. <br /> • The boulevard area must be improved with topsoil and sod. The plans shall be revised <br /> to note this. <br />
