TITLE GREENWAY TERRACE <br />EscRow # 115750 <br />DEPARTMENT: <br />TECHNICAL REVIEWER: <br />PROJECT ADDRESS <br />TBD <br />Community Development: Planning Division (Landscape Plan & Environmental <br />Resources) <br />Name: Chris Anderson, City- Planner <br />Phone: 763-433-9817 <br />Email: canderson@citvoframsev.com <br />The project is located within The COR, which has specific design standards relating to streetscape <br />improvements, including sidewalk widths, boulevard widths, and boulevard plantings, which are <br />outlined in Table 6 of the Sub -District Framework — COR4 Neighborhood in The COR Design <br />Framework. Furthermore, the Design Framework also addresses street furniture, which is <br />outlined in the Master Streetscape Plan. <br />We offer the following comments regarding the Landscape Plan, prepared by Urban Works and <br />dated June 1, 2017, and the Civil Plans, prepared by BKBM and also dated June 1, 2017, as it <br />relates to The COR Design Framework: <br />Sheet LA100: <br />• All proposed signage requires a separate Permanent Sign Permit. <br />Sheet L060: <br />• Clarify whether in -ground irrigation will be installed for the interior site landscaping. Note <br />that in -ground irrigation, if installed, shall include one or more water efficient <br />technologies, such as a smart controller, soil moisture sensors, ET sensors, etc. <br />• Irrigation shall be provided for the streetscape plantings. Plans shall be prepared and <br />submitted for review of this in -ground irrigation system. <br />• Add Landscape Note specifying that all areas, including boulevards, not otherwise <br />improved with impervious surfaces shall receive four (4) inches of topsoil meeting the <br />Citv's topsoil specification. Copies of the load tickets shall be provided to the City and a <br />topsoil inspection shall be completed prior to installation of any landscaping. <br />• Boulevards shall be at least six (6) feet in width and shall be clearly labeled on plan sheets. <br />• Sidewalks shall be six (6) feet in width and shall be clearly labeled on plan sheets. It <br />appears that the sidewalk widths need to be adjusted. <br />• Sidewalks shall have alternating brush strokes per panel (see City specification). <br />• Boulevard trees shall have branching beginning no lower than six (6) feet above grade. <br />• Add a Landscape Note that states the City requires a pre -planting meeting to review <br />expectations for all street tree installations. <br />
