Stormwater Utility The ci'ty has enacted a storm water utility. The fees apply to.the site and are generally billed to the property owner who is also responsible for the water and electric bills. This site will have multiple buildings with separate water and electric services. Please provide intbrmation on who will own the property so that the billing can be set up. 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 ~eater, be planted throughout the site. A portion of these trees should be installed along the public road frontage at spacing no greater than thirty-five (35) feet on center. City Code also requires that no less than 25% of the trees planted be deciduous and no less than 25% coniferous. Furthermore, City Code requires that no more than 25% of the trees planted consist of ornamental trees. Parking lot landscaping is also required, at a rate of one (l) tree per every ten (10) parking stalls. In addition to the tree requirements, City Code also states that one (1) shrub per every thirty,' (30) lineal feet of site perimeter or 300 square feet of building coverage, whichever is greater, be planted. The proposed total building coverage on the property is 100,000 square feet and there are roughly 480 proposed parking stalls, which equates to a minimum of 148 trees (48 specifically in and around the parking areas) and _333 shrubs needing to be installed. The number of required trees does not include the boulevard trees, as they were a required component of the streetscape and thus, are calculated separately. The current landscaping plan includes 124 trees and approximately 540 shrubs. The parking lot requirements and the shrub requirements are being fulfilled. However, an additional twenty-four (24) trees must be incorporated into the plan to meet the minimum number of required trees (again, the boulevard trees are a part of the stx:eetscape component and thus are not considered as part o~' the required plantings based on building square footage). There are several opportunities for plantings throughout the site. 'There is still plenty, of room for trees along the western border o~' the property. Also, the islands to the no~h and the east of the ~ocery store may provide additional planting options.
