The following corrections are required to the Landscape Plan and the Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan: Landscape Plan • New sidewalks and new boulevard areas shall have a width of six (6) feet along all local roads. These shall be clearly labeled on plan sheets. However, if tying in to an existing sidewalk, it is acceptable to match the existing width. • Deciduous trees shall be planted with the boulevards of local roads. Acceptable tree species are outlined in The COR Design Framework. • Trees along local roads shall be spaced thirty-five (35) feet on -center, adjust as needed to avoid conflicts with driveways, street lights, hydrants, and the Vision Clearance Triangle. • Sidewalks shall have alternating brush strokes per panel (see City specification). • A Tree Installation Detail shall be included with the Landscape Plan and shall specify, among other things, that the first set of primary roots shall be at finished grade. • Boulevard trees shall have branching beginning no lower than six (6) feet above grade. • Add note stating that any deviation from the approved Planting Schedule shall require approval of the City prior to installation. • Any proposed shrubs shall be at least twenty-four (24) inches in height or width, depending on species characteristics, at the time of planting. Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan (Sheet TP1) • Revise the Tree Removal/Replacement Summary information as there will be no infiltration occurring on site. This impacts the number of inches shown as exempt from removal threshold and impacts the number of required reforestation inches.
