Review File: Estates of Silver Oaks 2nd Addition Preliminary Plat: Landscaping May 12, 2017; revised June 30, 2016 Page 3 of 3 As proposed, these lots do not match the adjacent neighborhood density. The updated exhibit received does show that twenty (20) trees between Lots 2-3 will be preserved. However, additional landscaping is still necessary to achieve the transitioning requirements. There is 300 linear feet of property abutting the Rural Developing parcel to the east; therefore, an additional twenty-four (24) overstory trees, twenty-four (24) evergreen trees, and twenty-four (24) understory trees must be added to the Landscape Plan along the rear boundaries of Lots 1-3, Block 1. These numbers can be reduced though with the preservation of existing trees. Note that these plantings (and existing trees) will need to be encumbered with a Landscape Easement or be within land held in common ownership to avoid their future removal. Sheet G1: • Show the trees being removed on this plan sheet. • Revise the note regarding an arborist developing a plan to protect existing oak trees from oak wilt to state that the plan shall be submitted to the City for review. • Extend proposed concrete sidewalk to the northern boundary of Plat. • Revise the grading and the house pad size of Lots 1-3 Block 1 to match the density transitioning exhibit. Sheet L1• • Revise the note regarding an arborist developing a plan to protect existing oak trees from oak wilt to state that the plan shall be submitted to the City for review. • Evergreen trees (Black Hills Spruce) shall be located at least ten (10) feet from the sidewalk or back of curb (measured from the edge of braching). • Extend proposed concrete sidewalk to the northern boundary of Plat. • Add the density transitioning plantings as discussed above. • Consider adding additional plantings, specifically oak species, to offset the loss of so many mature oaks. Sheet Ti: • Revise the note regarding an arborist developing a plan to protect existing oak trees from oak wilt to state that the plan shall be submitted to the City for review. • Extend proposed concrete sidewalk to the northern boundary of Plat. • Add the existing trees on Lot 1 Block 1 to this sheet.
