Review File: Site Plan, Variance, and Conditional Use Permit Amendment for ACE Solid Waste March 29, 2019 Page 2 of 4 • Reminder that a Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization (LRRWMO) permit is required before breaking ground with any activity. Sheet C-901 • Lighting used to illuminate the building, any signage, and/or off street parking areas shall be arranged to deflect light away from adjoining public streets (Basalt St and 111' ). Add note to plan sheet. • Specifications for the proposed light fixtures shall be provided. Bulbs are in excess of 150 watts and thus must be recessed within the fixture(s) so that the source of light (bulb) is shielded from view from roads and adjacent properties. Sheet G-102 • Add symbol for proposed light poles. Sheet L-100 • It appe' s—trecc 76T�1, 786 7 -6 .,n 903 e being. ,-e ,e.a due t„ in Off of ., storm water pond. If so, those can be excluded from the removal and reforestation calculations. due to storm water pond, total inches removed is 98 DBH inches. 70% of that is 68.6 DBH inches allowed for removal; 29.1 DBH inches should be retained. 29.1 x 1.25 inches — 36.75 DBH inches to be replanted or 29.1 x $125 — $3,675 in restitution. Proposed landscaping can be applied toward reforestation. Sheet L-101 • Consider utilizing a deciduous species along the western boundary rather than balsam fir or northern white cedar. There is very limited space between fence and asphalt for evergreens. Possibly shift them to around the storm water pond. • Update Planting Schedule to identify minimum required sizes for plants. Overstory trees shall be at least 2.5 inches in diameter. Coniferous trees shall be at least 6 feet in height. Ornamental trees shall be at least 1.5 inches in diameter. Shrubs shall be at least 21 inches in height. Minimum sizes are at time of planting. • Planting requirements are 1 tree for every 1,000 square feet of building expansion and 1 shrub per every 300 square feet of building expansion. Project requires 8 new trees and 27 shrubs. Note though that reforestation is required due to the removal of all existing significant trees on site and thus, plantings above and beyond the landscape requirements will be needed (or payment of restitution per the Tree Preservation Ordinance). • Use of seed rather than sod requires City Council authorization. Sod shall be used in all boulevard areas (this would include all areas within ten [10] feet of public roads). • Additional plantings should be included along the boundary with Basalt Street. This would help `buffer' the proposed pavement encroachment in the required pavement setback from road right-of-way. Sheet L-102
